# Basilisk
The heirs to the Kouga and Iga ninja clans, Gennosuke and Oboro, hoped the unsteady truce between their tribes would last—but fate denies the lovers, thrusting their people into war after centuries of peace. The terms are set on two scrolls. One bears a list of Kouga warriors. The other holds a list of those who fight for Iga. The names found on these scrolls can only be crossed out in blood.

*There were people who loathed one another.*

Don't worry...
**[04:04] ---**
It'll only hurt...
**[04:05] ---**
...for a second!
**[04:16] ---**
Iga-no-Ogen!
**[04:18] ---**
That sharpness!
What on earth does that man wield?!
**[04:26] ---**
Female black hair, twined together
and coated with secret animal oils...
**[04:32] ---**
'Tis the secret *Kokujou*
technique of Iga-no-Yashamaru.
**[04:38] ---**
However...
**[04:40] ---**
...there is no point in wasting it so.
**[04:45] ---**
Talk about pathetic, you Kouga geezer!
**[04:48] ---**
'Tis premature to be
boasting of your win, boy...
**[05:12] ---**
Kouga Danjou! What was that?!
**[05:15] ---**
It was phlegm.
**[05:18] ---**
P-Phlegm?!
**[05:21] ---**
To think he would oppose
Yashamaru's *Kokujou* with phlegm...
**[05:28] ---**
Ogen, make not light of it!
**[05:30] ---**
The phlegm of the Kouga Manjidani's
Kazamachi Shougen is like glue!
**[05:36] ---**
Its adhesiveness, several hundred-fold!
**[05:43] ---**
This's more like it, kiddo!
**[05:46] ---**
Now you can't play cat's cradle anymore.
**[05:50] ---**
Bastard!
**[06:04] ---**
I'll kill you...
**[06:05] ---**
...Kouga scum!
**[06:08] ---**
To think I'd ever see
eye-to-eye with Iga trash!
**[06:49] ---**
*Chief of the Kouga Manjidani group,
Kouga Danjou...*
**[06:53] ---**
*Chief of the Iga
Tsubagakure group, Ogen...*
**[06:57] ---**
*What ill-boding people...*
**[07:01] ---**
*Now I understand why the first
Hanzo sealed them in darkness*
**[07:05] ---**
*and forced them into an anti-war pact...*
**[07:09] ---**
*Still, I do not understand*
**[07:11] ---**
*why leyasu-sama would
wish to observe such rabble...*
**[07:24] ---**
Ninja...
**[07:25] ---**
Indeed.
**[07:28] ---**
So a priest says to use ninja to
decide the next Tokugawa shogunate...
**[07:33] ---**
Edo Castle is split into two factions
over Hidetada-*sama*'s successor;
**[07:37] ---**
one for Takechiyo-*sama*, and one
for younger brother Kunichiyo-*sama*.
**[07:42] ---**
Even the senior guards
**[07:42] ---**
"Tokugawa Bakufu Overseer
- Nankoubou Tenkai"
**[07:45] ---**
partake in this family quarrel...
**[07:47] ---**
Should we ignore this,
even if we do destroy Toyotomi,
**[07:51] ---**
the Tokugawa shall also
follow the path to destruction.
**[07:57] ---**
I know...
**[07:58] ---**
That is the reason I consult you, Priest.
**[08:02] ---**
And I have stated my thoughts.
**[08:06] ---**
However, it is far too late
to settle things with reason.
**[08:11] ---**
Empathetic consideration
would also prove futile.
**[08:15] ---**
Consequently, the next wisest
choice would be to decide by having
**[08:20] ---**
two worthy warrior families vie
in a 10-game match of swords...
**[08:25] ---**
Doing thusly would also
save many Tokugawa samurai
**[08:29] ---**
from dying pointless deaths...
**[08:33] ---**
Therefore, ninja?
**[08:35] ---**
Indeed...
**[08:37] ---**
Even if ninja should slay one
another and perish in a sea of blood...
**[08:45] ---**
...it would make no difference to anyone!
**[09:03] ---**
Enough. Stop them.
**[09:05] ---**
--That is enough!
**[09:05] ---**
--That is enough!
**[09:18] ---**
Kouga and Iga...
**[09:20] ---**
To think such people would hide in
a province bordering the Yagyuu...
**[09:27] ---**
How blind I have been!
**[09:29] ---**
I had heard of their names
from the first Hanzo.
**[09:33] ---**
Their *ninpou* is said to
surpass ordinary techniques.
**[09:37] ---**
Yes. That was most impressive.
**[09:40] ---**
Kouga Danjou, Iga-no-Ogen,
I truly thank you both.
**[09:49] ---**
Incidentally...
**[09:53] ---**
Would you be willing to help
determine the Tokugawa successor...
**[09:57] ---**
...by fighting to the death
in a *ninpou* competition?
**[10:04] ---**
Allow me to humbly say this.
**[10:07] ---**
Speak.
**[10:08] ---**
We... have been bitter rivals for 400 years.
**[10:13] ---**
Even were it not for the Tokugawa family...
**[10:17] ---**
Rescind the anti-war pact we made
with the first Hattori Hanzo-*sama*...
**[10:24] ---**
...and we can begin.
**[10:33] ---**
As you wish.
**[10:35] ---**
Yes. Well stated, Hanzo.
**[10:41] ---**
Then...
**[10:43] ---**
Inscribe upon these two scrolls
the names of ten ninja of each clan.
**[10:49] ---**
The Kouga shall represent the faction
wishing Kunichiyo to be heir.
**[10:54] ---**
The Iga shall represent
the Takechiyo faction.
**[10:57] ---**
I entrust to them the selection
of the third-generation shogun.
**[11:00] ---**
And once the two sides
fight and slay one another,
**[11:03] ---**
the one to survive with this secret
scroll in hand shall be the victor!
**[11:08] ---**
"The Ten Kouga"
**[11:09] ---**
"By Decree of Tokugawa leyasu"
**[11:10] ---**
1000 years of glory
are promised to one clan!
**[11:17] ---**
To Kouga Manjidani...
**[11:19] ---**
To Iga Tsubagakure...
**[11:28] ---**
This is certainly an odd
turn of events, Ogen...
**[11:32] ---**
That it is...
**[11:33] ---**
Just as we were nearing conciliation
through our grandchildren's love...
**[11:40] ---**
The two could very well be
with each other as we speak...
**[11:44] ---**
Such a pity... It just wasn't in the stars...
**[11:49] ---**
Wasn't in the stars...
**[11:58] ---**
Fate, indeed...
**[12:00] ---**
Providence is terrifying...
**[12:24] ---**
"9th Year of Tenshou (1581 A.D.)"
**[12:32] ---**
Danjou-*sama*!
**[12:34] ---**
Ogen-*dono*!
**[12:38] ---**
Sorry I'm late!
**[12:48] ---**
Today is the last day
we can meet in secret...
**[12:52] ---**
Yes.
**[12:53] ---**
The next time we can meet is
after both the Iga and Kouga clans
**[12:58] ---**
have been freed from
their long-standing grudge.
**[13:02] ---**
It won't be that long.
**[13:04] ---**
The Kouga elder is on my side.
**[13:07] ---**
Hattori Hanzo-*sama*, too, wishes
for a truce between the clans.
**[13:12] ---**
If I ask for mediation, they will
unquestionably spare no effort to help.
**[13:18] ---**
Yes, Danjou-*sama*...
**[13:23] ---**
We must briefly part, Ogen-*dono*...
**[13:26] ---**
The sun is about to set. Make haste.
**[13:30] ---**
Ogen-*dono*, what is wrong?
**[13:33] ---**
Do you think it will be?
**[13:34] ---**
Come again?
**[13:36] ---**
Do you think... there will
be peace in our lifetime?
**[13:41] ---**
Do not be fainthearted...
**[13:44] ---**
We must both patiently
persuade those close to us.
**[13:48] ---**
When the time is right,
we will bring both sides together...
**[13:52] ---**
...and tell them about us.
**[13:59] ---**
Ogen-*dono*...
**[14:01] ---**
I will do my utmost...
**[14:07] ---**
I love you...
**[14:10] ---**
And I you, Ogen.
**[14:12] ---**
That's the first time
you've ever called me "Ogen"!
**[14:21] ---**
I have cleansed my body...
**[14:42] ---**
That's...
**[14:44] ---**
The Tsubagakure village!
**[15:08] ---**
The Tsubagakure lookouts
would never be destroyed so easily!
**[15:12] ---**
This is no ordinary raid!
**[15:13] ---**
Who would dare attack the Iga, and why?!
**[15:18] ---**
Oda!
**[15:50] ---**
Ogen! Where is the elder?!
**[15:54] ---**
Ogen!
**[16:05] ---**
Ogen!
**[16:06] ---**
My shoulder...
**[16:08] ---**
It only grazed it...
**[16:18] ---**
Grandfather!
**[16:24] ---**
Ogen...
**[16:25] ---**
I'm sorry. We rushed straight
here, but he was already...
**[16:25] ---**
"First Generation - Hattori Hanzo"
**[16:30] ---**
Kouga Danjou, why are you here?
**[16:37] ---**
I see...
**[16:52] ---**
The Iga are doomed if nothing is done!
Escape with the survivors!
**[16:56] ---**
Bastard!
**[16:57] ---**
Ogen!
**[16:59] ---**
Ogen! Just accept it!
**[17:07] ---**
The hammer will drop on Nobunaga eventually!
**[17:10] ---**
No human being would
carry out such an injustice!
**[17:25] ---**
Danjou-*sama,* return to the Kouga...
**[17:28] ---**
I promise I'll come see you someday.
**[17:31] ---**
No, we need to get you to safety.
But first you need medical attention...
**[17:40] ---**
Sakinta!
**[17:42] ---**
Who's there?!
**[17:47] ---**
Hannojou! Hikoza!
**[17:56] ---**
*This is a Kouga blade!*
**[18:00] ---**
Danjou-*sama*.
**[18:01] ---**
Renbu!
**[18:02] ---**
Why are you in Tsubagakure first?
**[18:05] ---**
I'll explain later! Why do you kill the Iga?!
**[18:08] ---**
What an odd question...
**[18:10] ---**
The retired shogun has
ordered us to use this opportunity
**[18:12] ---**
to exterminate the Iga!
**[18:15] ---**
What?!
**[18:18] ---**
'Tis hardly an onerous job.
**[18:22] ---**
Oda's lines are infallible.
**[18:24] ---**
All we're doing is
exterminating the Iga insects
**[18:27] ---**
who dare to slip through the cracks!
**[18:30] ---**
Unforgivable! *I* am the chief!
**[18:33] ---**
It was decided that your opinions
on this matter need no consideration!
**[18:39] ---**
That can't be!
**[18:41] ---**
Danjou-*sama*...
**[18:43] ---**
Have you deceived us... and me?!
**[18:49] ---**
Ogen! How can you say that?!
**[18:51] ---**
Wait! This is some sort of--
**[18:54] ---**
Ogen?!
**[18:55] ---**
Ogen!
**[18:57] ---**
Ogen!
**[19:01] ---**
Your wound!
**[19:05] ---**
You said it was your shoulder,
but it's actually near a vital spot!
**[19:10] ---**
Ogen! Show me your wound!
**[19:12] ---**
Ogen!
**[19:37] ---**
I guess it just wasn't in the stars...
**[19:42] ---**
Please die...
**[19:44] ---**
Kouga...
**[19:46] ---**
...Danjou!
**[20:04] ---**
Incidentally, Ogen.
**[20:06] ---**
I doubt you know who
the Kouga Manjidani Ten are...
**[20:11] ---**
Likewise, I doubt you know
who the Iga Tsubagakure Ten are...
**[20:16] ---**
Ten?
**[20:18] ---**
You mean nine.
**[20:22] ---**
You let your guard down...
**[20:26] ---**
That Yashamaru boy is
still quite inexperienced...
**[20:34] ---**
"Ogen"

**[20:40] ---**
Farewell, Ogen!

**[03:52] ---**
What's wrong, Oboro-*dono*?
**[03:56] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[03:58] ---**
Ever since Grandmother
and the others departed for Sunpu,
**[04:03] ---**
this sense of foreboding just won't stop...
**[04:06] ---**
The moment I saw your face...
**[04:11] ---**
Please forgive me...
**[04:17] ---**
Worry not, Oboro-*dono*.
**[04:20] ---**
The mutual hatred between
our clans is now ancient history.
**[04:26] ---**
As long as the Kouga-Iga Anti-War Pact
from the Tenshou Era stands,
**[04:33] ---**
there will never be strife again.
**[04:43] ---**
A *ninpou* demonstration...
**[04:46] ---**
...for the retired shogun.
**[04:49] ---**
Even the letter from Hattori
Hanzo-*dono* said as such, did it not?
**[04:56] ---**
Yes, Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[05:09] ---**
My guess is that Hanzo-*dono
*
**[05:12] ---**
must see this as a good opportunity
**[05:16] ---**
for both houses to step out into the world...
**[05:21] ---**
Grandfather nodded in agreement
and set off for Sunpu as well.
**[05:27] ---**
How shameful...
**[05:29] ---**
I didn't mean to lose my calm...
**[05:32] ---**
And although born to a *shinobi* house,
I'm but a flounderer
**[05:36] ---**
competent in neither the sword nor
the fighting arts,
**[05:40] ---**
much less *ninpou*.
**[05:43] ---**
Come now... It bothers me not in the least.
**[05:48] ---**
Even more, I am distraught...
**[05:51] ---**
I cannot even throw a single
*kunai* knife properly...
**[05:55] ---**
I also feel sorry to my grandmother,
who taught me everything...
**[06:01] ---**
Perhaps it doesn't suit you...
**[06:04] ---**
Besides...
**[06:07] ---**
Once the day comes that
everyone lives happily together,
**[06:10] ---**
such skills will be unneeded.
**[06:14] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*.
**[06:17] ---**
Why do you suppose the Iga and Kouga
**[06:19] ---**
have despised each other for so long?
**[06:25] ---**
Hmm...
**[06:27] ---**
I do not know either.
**[06:30] ---**
Grandfather and Ogen-*dono* need
to decide a date for the ceremony...
**[06:36] ---**
Yes, I can hardly wait!
**[07:08] ---**
Well, I'll be.
**[07:11] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani Group-Udono Josuke"
**[07:12] ---**
That damn hawk was carrying a scroll!
**[07:18] ---**
Let's see here...
**[07:22] ---**
Who's there?!
**[07:27] ---**
Could you kindly hand
that here, Udono Josuke?
**[07:28] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure Group - Azuki Rousai"
**[07:34] ---**
Well, well, if it isn't Azuki Rousai-rou!
**[07:38] ---**
That's one flashy outfit
for someone your age!
**[07:41] ---**
Hardly. I have chosen a
particularly plain one for tonight.
**[07:46] ---**
That hawk was that of our leader, Ogen-*sama*.
**[07:51] ---**
The scroll would appear
to belong to her as well.
**[07:58] ---**
Meaning neither hawk nor scroll
**[08:00] ---**
are meant for the hands
of you, Kouga rubbish.
**[08:05] ---**
I see!
**[08:06] ---**
That must mean this is news from Sunpu.
**[08:10] ---**
Now I'm kinda curious!
**[08:15] ---**
Josuke!
**[08:16] ---**
It's true that we're bitter rivals.
**[08:19] ---**
However, we're now constricted
by the Hattori family's pact
**[08:24] ---**
and soon the marriage of
Gennosuke-*sama* and Oboro-*sama*
**[08:27] ---**
will put all this behind us!
**[08:32] ---**
Why don't we be friends too, Rousai-rou?
**[08:36] ---**
Very well. Then let us play amicably...
**[08:40] ---**
Yes. This is a game.
**[08:43] ---**
A *ninpou* game to see who's better,
the Kouga or the Iga!
**[08:52] ---**
Don't write me off as some tub of lard!
**[09:01] ---**
What?!
**[09:08] ---**
Time to learn that even games
can end with fatal results, Josuke!
**[09:12] ---**
The truce between Iga and Kouga
disgusts me to no end!
**[09:26] ---**
What are you, a windbag?!
You spineless freak!
**[09:33] ---**
Hey, stretchy old geezer!
Who're you calling a spineless freak?!
**[09:58] ---**
Found ya, gourd head!
**[10:01] ---**
Got you!
**[10:27] ---**
Seems you have more of a spine
than meets the eye, old man.
**[10:30] ---**
It is proving rather difficult
to break yours as well.
**[10:37] ---**
--Here I come!
**[10:37] ---**
--Here I come!
**[10:51] ---**
Josuke!
**[11:35] ---**
The Iga's list is in
Danjou-*sama*'s possession.
**[11:39] ---**
Now to fight this battle
between warring ninja
**[11:41] ---**
and exterminate the Iga
Tsubagakure in a single night!
**[11:47] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani"
**[11:51] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani -
Kouga Danjou's Compound"
**[11:55] ---**
Danjou-*sama* had a star of misfortune...
**[12:04] ---**
Shougen has signs of ill presage as well.
**[12:11] ---**
Wait.
**[12:14] ---**
*I* will go.
**[12:48] ---**
G-Gennosuke-*sama*! When did I--
**[12:52] ---**
I-I apologize!
**[12:56] ---**
No...
**[12:59] ---**
It was very tranquil...
**[13:04] ---**
Your sleepless days appear
to have continued...
**[13:08] ---**
Yes...
**[13:09] ---**
Let us go.
**[13:11] ---**
The people at Tsubagakure must be worried...
**[13:15] ---**
But we still haven't--
**[13:17] ---**
It can wait another day.
We can practice any time.
**[13:21] ---**
Yes, Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[13:49] ---**
What's wrong, Oboro-*dono*?
**[13:53] ---**
Y-You walk... so quickly that I...
**[13:59] ---**
How rude of me!
**[14:02] ---**
I did the same thing earlier as well...
**[14:06] ---**
Please give it no mind.
I shall keep up with you...
**[14:13] ---**
If we hold our hands together,
**[14:16] ---**
we will no longer separate, and my
pace will likely cease to quicken...
**[14:23] ---**
Yes...
**[14:30] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[14:44] ---**
Oboro-*sama*.
**[14:48] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure Group - Akeginu"
**[14:48] ---**
If it isn't Akeginu...
**[14:51] ---**
What brings you out here?
**[14:57] ---**
You were exceedingly late
in returning home...
**[14:59] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure Group - Mino Nenki"
**[15:05] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure Group - Hotarubi"
**[15:06] ---**
...so we came to collect you.
**[15:09] ---**
Nenki... Even Hotarubi...
**[15:15] ---**
Please pardon my discourtesy,
Tsubagakure Group...
**[15:19] ---**
I am relieved to see that you are unharmed.
**[15:22] ---**
Still, not returning until dawn...
**[15:25] ---**
Forgive me, Akeginu...
**[15:27] ---**
Yet, you needn't worry
when I'm with Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[15:30] ---**
No...
**[15:32] ---**
Jingorou! You came as well?
**[15:35] ---**
Until Ogen-*sama* returns from Sunpu,
**[15:35] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure Group - Amayo Jingorou"
**[15:38] ---**
you are our leader.
**[15:40] ---**
I humbly ask you pay
more caution to your safety...
**[15:44] ---**
'Tis my fault...
**[15:46] ---**
I apologize. Please forgive me.
**[15:48] ---**
That's not true!
**[15:49] ---**
Incidentally, Oboro-*sama*,
might you have seen Rousai-rou?
**[15:54] ---**
Eh?
**[15:55] ---**
He left upon spotting something
in the sky, but has yet to return.
**[16:00] ---**
No, I haven't seen him...
**[16:14] ---**
Josuke!
**[16:19] ---**
Oboro?!
**[16:31] ---**
Ow!
**[16:32] ---**
What are you doing, Josuke?
**[16:36] ---**
G-Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[16:38] ---**
Please tell Oboro-*sama* to look away from me!
**[16:42] ---**
I-I would never...
**[16:45] ---**
We know.
**[16:47] ---**
You were born with piercing eyes...
**[16:52] ---**
With neither technique nor skill,
**[16:56] ---**
your wondrous eyes can
effortlessly break down
**[16:59] ---**
the monster-like techniques of the ninja.
**[17:03] ---**
You, there!
**[17:05] ---**
--Rousai-*dono*!
**[17:05] ---**
--Rousai!
**[17:06] ---**
Retrieve the scroll in Josuke's kimono!
**[17:10] ---**
It belongs to Ogen-*sama*!
**[17:23] ---**
What is the meaning of this, Josuke?
**[17:26] ---**
No, you see, Rousai-*dono* and I
fought over it in a *ninpou* battle...
**[17:32] ---**
No, no, a *ninpou* game! You see--
**[17:35] ---**
Fool!
**[17:38] ---**
I'm so sorry!
**[17:42] ---**
Now, Oboro-*dono*. Look inside.
**[17:45] ---**
Halt!
**[17:47] ---**
That must *not* be opened in his presence!
**[17:51] ---**
W-What are you saying, Jingorou?!
**[17:54] ---**
That is a scroll from Ogen-*sama*!
**[17:58] ---**
Exposing it to Kouga eyes would
cause us plight during her absence!
**[18:04] ---**
Jingorou! Gennosuke-*sama* has already--
**[18:07] ---**
The ceremony is likely
some time away, Oboro-*sama*.
**[18:13] ---**
T-That may be true, but...
**[18:18] ---**
You trash...
**[18:19] ---**
Ow!
**[18:22] ---**
How rude of you all!
Gennosuke-*sama* is the Kouga Manjidani--
**[18:29] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[18:31] ---**
You are right. I will leave.
**[18:35] ---**
Josuke!
**[18:37] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[18:39] ---**
Ugh! You're so stupid, Jingorou!
**[18:44] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*! Udono-*sama*!
**[18:46] ---**
I humbly ask your forgiveness!
**[18:49] ---**
None are to blame.
**[18:51] ---**
Eh?
**[18:52] ---**
If you consider our clans' pasts,
it is perfectly understandable.
**[18:56] ---**
*We* are the heretical ones right now.
**[18:59] ---**
Heretical?
**[19:00] ---**
Yes.
**[19:01] ---**
Solving this will not be an easy
task if we anger at every turn...
**[19:07] ---**
I am ashamed at having thrown the scroll...
**[19:13] ---**
For not being able to
throw a single *kunai* properly...
**[19:17] ---**
...your aim was true.
**[19:33] ---**
Jingorou! What does Grandmother say?
**[19:36] ---**
Jingorou?!
**[19:37] ---**
W-Worry not, Oboro-*sama*!
**[19:41] ---**
Peace between Kouga and Iga
was wholly realized at Sunpu,
**[19:45] ---**
and Grandmother and Kouga Danjou-*sama
*are viewing springtime Edo
**[19:49] ---**
on their return home!
**[19:51] ---**
Oh! So it *was* good news!
**[19:57] ---**
Please forgive my rudeness, Gennosuke-*sama*.
**[20:00] ---**
'Tis the tragic nature of the *shinobi*...
**[20:03] ---**
I've taken no offense.
**[20:05] ---**
What do you say?
**[20:06] ---**
Would you like to take
this opportunity to visit Iga?
**[20:11] ---**
Oh, Nenki! That's a splendid idea!
**[20:16] ---**
By all means, please come, Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[20:21] ---**
All right.
**[20:22] ---**
Let us go to Iga.
**[20:25] ---**
H-Hold on!
**[20:27] ---**
That's far too reckless for you to be doing!
**[20:34] ---**
Why don't you come too, Udono-*sama*?
**[20:39] ---**
Oh, umm...
**[20:43] ---**
Well, I always did want to see Tsubagakure...
**[20:47] ---**
We will pick mountain
herbs before returning...
**[20:51] ---**
Be careful not to offend our guests, now...
**[20:55] ---**
Yes, I am fully aware of the situation.
**[21:01] ---**
Hotarubi...
**[21:03] ---**
Inform Tenzen.
**[21:05] ---**
Of course.
**[21:25] ---**
So, Ogen-*sama*...
**[21:27] ---**
...is dead.
**[21:28] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure Group - Chikuma Koshirou"
**[21:32] ---**
As is Kouga Danjou...
**[21:32] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure Group - Yakushiji Tenzen"
**[21:36] ---**
By each other's hand, most likely...
**[21:40] ---**
They must have been overjoyed...
**[21:43] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*... Overjoyed?
**[21:51] ---**
'Tis too early for someone
so unsophisticated.
**[22:03] ---**
At last, it is annulled...
**[22:07] ---**
The anti-war pact that has bound
the Iga and Kouga since Tenshou...
**[22:13] ---**
...is at last annulled!
**[22:31] ---**
*The mist of sorrow softly touches
these lips blotted with red droplets*
**[22:42] ---**
*The mirror in the sky beautifully
illuminates the distance in the night*
**[22:53] ---**
*Giving more than a passing thought
to the myriad of showering stars*
**[22:59] ---**
*gently, the cords of a deep
bond firmly, firmly bind them*
**[23:08] ---**
*Those beautiful eyes that
sparkle with a lazuline hue...*
**[23:14] ---**
*Even if they wind up closed
by a harbinger from the darkness,*
**[23:20] ---**
*since no one can steal
the bridge of connected dreams*
**[23:28] ---**
*they still reflect the limitless tomorrow*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next Episode"
**[23:52] ---**
*The anti-war pact has been annulled.*
**[23:55] ---**
*In the abyss of blue darkness,
a demonic horde is released.*
**[24:00] ---**
*Dusty animal trails. Spider web snares.*
**[24:03] ---**
*Large moth-orchids in full bloom.
An indistinctly crawling oddity.*
**[24:11] ---**
*On the next Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:*
**[24:14] ---**
*"Deadly Insects, Cold Blood."*

**[00:19] ---**
*There were people who loathed one another.*
**[00:24] ---**
*Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...*
**[00:31] ---**
*And their bonds were broken by blades...*
**[00:50] ---**
*Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...*
**[00:56] ---**
*"My beloved, please die..."*
**[01:03] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:34] ---**
*Clouds shroud a night with a waning
moon quivering in the haze*
**[01:45] ---**
*A cruel trap involving
a pair of crucified fledglings*
**[01:55] ---**
*Oh, since smoldering feelings
lie firmly in their hearts...*
**[02:07] ---**
*destruction!*
**[02:08] ---**
*Gently as the water, severely as a flower*
**[02:14] ---**
*pierce with a trembling blade*
**[02:18] ---**
*Even when I shut the fated
tears deep within my eyes*
**[02:24] ---**
*my eyelids still remember you*
**[02:42] ---**
"Deadly Insects, Cold Blood"
**[03:15] ---**
I imagine Danjou entrusted a similar
scroll to Kazamachi Shougen...
**[03:25] ---**
If we five strike at once,
he will have no hope for escape...
**[03:32] ---**
Koshirou.
**[03:34] ---**
A war between *shinobi* needs
no vainglorious one-on-one battles.
**[03:39] ---**
Understood.
**[03:40] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*, what do you
suppose became of Yashamaru-*dono*?
**[03:46] ---**
Judging from the time of the hawk's return...
**[03:49] ---**
...he will reach Iga later
tonight or tomorrow morning.
**[03:54] ---**
Assuming he left Sunpu alive, that is...
**[04:05] ---**
Amayo.
**[04:07] ---**
Should Oboro-*sama* become
aware of this, it *will* cause us trouble.
**[04:14] ---**
Having Gennosuke and Udono
trapped like rats could work against us.
**[04:20] ---**
Yes. I will exercise caution.
**[04:23] ---**
So, shall I kill Gennosuke
if given the chance?
**[04:29] ---**
Do not assume he can be slain so easily!
**[04:34] ---**
*His eyes... Those two unfathomable eyes...*
**[04:39] ---**
*They're terrifying, even for an enemy's...*
**[04:42] ---**
Blunders will not be tolerated.
Take no risks before our return.
**[04:49] ---**
Understood.
**[04:52] ---**
First is...
**[04:54] ---**
...Kazamachi Shougen.
**[05:28] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[05:29] ---**
That is a Kouga palanquin...
**[05:34] ---**
Only the bearers!
**[05:57] ---**
Kouga clansman, I wish
to speak with you.
**[06:01] ---**
Step out.
**[06:03] ---**
And if I say no?
**[06:28] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani Group - Jimushi Juubei"
**[06:32] ---**
Your appearance... You
must be Jimushi Juubei.
**[06:37] ---**
How're you going to fix this?
**[06:41] ---**
You ruined my precious palanquin!
**[06:44] ---**
A palanquin for what aim?!
**[06:47] ---**
None of you have any manners at all!
**[06:50] ---**
How dare you--
**[06:54] ---**
Forgive my rudeness. We are
the Ogen Clan of Iga Tsubagakure.
**[06:59] ---**
I am Yakushiji Tenzen.
**[07:02] ---**
We could not stand still out
of concern for our grandmother,
**[07:06] ---**
who has gone to Sunpu...
**[07:11] ---**
You too, huh?
**[07:13] ---**
My own astromancy shows
Danjou-*sama* under a star of misfortune...
**[07:17] ---**
Astromancy...
**[07:20] ---**
So that is your art...
**[07:24] ---**
I can handle this man alone.
**[07:27] ---**
The rest of you, go intercept Shougen.
**[07:35] ---**
Now then...
**[07:41] ---**
By and large, I know
everything about the Kouga clan,
**[07:46] ---**
but some members I know little about.
**[07:50] ---**
You are one of those few...
**[07:54] ---**
Speak!
**[07:55] ---**
The Kouga Manjidani Ten!
What techniques do they wield?!
**[08:01] ---**
Speak or I shall remove your head!
**[08:07] ---**
What is so amusing?
**[08:10] ---**
Your own star is one of misfortune!
**[08:46] ---**
If an enemy ever learned of
this trick, I would be doomed...
**[08:55] ---**
...but the enemy is
doomed once he learns of it.
**[08:59] ---**
Still, to think the Iga
would take such action as this...
**[09:10] ---**
What is transpiring?!
**[09:58] ---**
This is going to be great, Akeginu-*dono*!
**[10:08] ---**
Good grief. What a lost cause.
**[10:57] ---**
Ow!
**[11:01] ---**
Say, Akeginu-*dono*!
**[11:03] ---**
Why don't we hold hands too?!
**[11:40] ---**
It begins!
**[11:50] ---**
Iga scum?
**[11:56] ---**
We will take the *ninpou* competition roster!
**[12:02] ---**
And how do you know about that?
**[12:04] ---**
I would not underestimate
the Iga-no-Ogen Clan if I were you.
**[12:10] ---**
As you wish.
**[12:11] ---**
In that case, I'll start...
**[12:13] ---**
by removing your names from the list first!
**[12:18] ---**
Interesting!
**[12:56] ---**
Three Iga bugs, caught in my web...
**[12:59] ---**
Perhaps I should crush them...
**[13:07] ---**
Now then...
**[13:28] ---**
I will let you choose the
manner in which you die...
**[13:33] ---**
Shall I gouge your eyes out first...
or slit your windpipe?
**[13:42] ---**
Choose!
**[13:47] ---**
I ask you the same thing!
**[14:32] ---**
Hotarubi! Koshirou's sickle!
**[14:45] ---**
My body hair is as my hands!
**[14:50] ---**
Mock me not, Kouga swine!
**[15:00] ---**
What?!
**[15:18] ---**
Jimushi...
**[15:19] ---**
...Juubei!
**[15:25] ---**
Intolerable bastard!
**[16:01] ---**
Is Yashamaru-*dono* unharmed?
**[16:06] ---**
Answer!
**[16:22] ---**
Answer! Answer me, Shougen!
**[16:31] ---**
Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!
**[16:36] ---**
Tell me now!
**[17:09] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*...
**[17:37] ---**
Got you!
**[17:48] ---**
Why can't we catch up?!
**[18:08] ---**
I suggest you release
the scroll in your mouth...
**[18:13] ---**
Otherwise...
**[18:18] ---**
...you cannot expel
the spearhead in your throat.
**[18:23] ---**
Isn't that right...
**[18:26] ---**
...Jimushi!
**[18:39] ---**
Allow me to read your
stars... Jimushi Juubei.
**[18:47] ---**
Tenzen!
**[18:59] ---**
I will not fall for the same trick twice.
**[19:05] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[19:09] ---**
What an inconvenience...
**[19:35] ---**
There is no need for two of the same scroll.
**[19:53] ---**
What of Shougen?
**[19:56] ---**
I... finished him off.
**[20:10] ---**
"Jimushi Juubei"
**[20:12] ---**
"Jimushi Juubei" Seven left...
**[20:14] ---**
--But do not disregard them.
**[20:17] ---**
--Indeed...
**[20:19] ---**
Even so, the last one standing
shall be us, the Iga-no-Ogen Clan!
**[20:39] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure -
lga-no-Ogen's Compound"
**[20:52] ---**
Oboro-*dono*, you needn't hurry so...
**[21:11] ---**
How good of you to come!
**[21:15] ---**
Jingorou, you're back!
**[21:18] ---**
Huh?
**[21:23] ---**
Oh! And you, too!
**[21:26] ---**
Preparations for the banquet are underway.
**[21:29] ---**
Iga sake probably tastes quite
different from that brewed by the Kouga.
**[21:37] ---**
This is going to be great, Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[21:41] ---**
I wonder if Igasake is sweet...
**[21:46] ---**
...or salty...

**[03:14] ---**
I hope you don't hate fatties...
**[03:17] ---**
Whaddya say?
**[03:19] ---**
We can take after Gennosuke-*sama
*and Oboro-*sama*!
**[03:24] ---**
Quit it, Josuke.
**[03:25] ---**
You're a poor drinker. Can you not
see that Akeginu-*dono* is troubled?
**[03:32] ---**
My bad! Guess I may've
had a little too much to drink!
**[03:42] ---**
This is delicious! 'Tis well seasoned!
**[03:45] ---**
It tastes quite different
from the Kouga kind!
**[03:47] ---**
It must be the salt, Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[03:51] ---**
Iga salt is brought in from Akaho...
**[03:56] ---**
Would you like to take some home with you?
**[03:59] ---**
We have stacks of it in the back saltstore!
**[04:04] ---**
A real example of, "Providing is preventing!"
**[04:06] ---**
Can't have war provisions
without salt, after all!
**[04:13] ---**
Josuke! Be mindful of what you say!
**[04:21] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*, it's all right.
**[04:24] ---**
From now on, there will
be no need for secrets...
**[04:28] ---**
Isn't that right, Jingorou, Akeginu?
**[04:31] ---**
Y-Yes, Oboro-*sama*...
**[04:34] ---**
You are indeed correct...
**[04:38] ---**
Oboro-*dono*.
**[04:46] ---**
'Tis the perfect occasion to show
the Iga the results of our practice...
**[04:52] ---**
But I was going to perform
the dance at the marriage ceremony...
**[04:57] ---**
You can perform it more elaborately that day.
**[05:00] ---**
'Tis amateurish, but this flute
and dance celebrate the peace
**[05:04] ---**
between Kouga and Iga and
wish for their eternal prosperity.
**[05:08] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[05:10] ---**
Don't tell me you and Oboro-*sama
*practiced that each time you met!
**[05:14] ---**
Why that look?
**[05:16] ---**
What did you think she and I
were doing during our meetings?
**[05:20] ---**
Uh, well... *I* can't say it...
**[05:24] ---**
You say it, Akeginu-*dono*!
**[05:26] ---**
Why me?!
**[06:22] ---**
Akeginu-*dono*!
**[06:32] ---**
What an annoying man...
**[06:41] ---**
Oboro-*dono*, please forgive Josuke's rudeness.
**[06:46] ---**
He is the most easily
excited man in the Kouga clan.
**[06:49] ---**
Please don't worry.
Akeginu bears no ill will either.
**[06:54] ---**
But he certainly is an amusing person!
**[06:59] ---**
I'd always imagined that the Kouga
were a far more terrifying people...
**[07:05] ---**
I was the same way.
**[07:07] ---**
The more I hear silly stories
about the formidable Iga from you,
**[07:12] ---**
the more affinity I feel.
**[07:15] ---**
I can let you hear all you want!
**[07:18] ---**
People are difficult to grasp
without being near to them.
**[07:22] ---**
How true.
**[07:26] ---**
Incidentally...
**[07:27] ---**
I haven't seen the fellows
we met at Toki Pass...
**[07:32] ---**
They must be late in returning...
**[07:36] ---**
We tried to invite them, but it
must still be difficult to accept...
**[07:42] ---**
No, 'tis nothing of the sort...
**[07:46] ---**
It cannot be helped.
**[07:48] ---**
There were others who refused to
feast with me tonight, were there not?
**[07:55] ---**
Yes.
**[07:56] ---**
Worry not, Oboro-*dono*.
**[07:59] ---**
We can learn to regard each other over time.
**[08:02] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[08:10] ---**
We, the Kouga Manjidani Clan,
and you, the Iga Tsubagakure Clan...
**[08:16] ---**
Both sides, skilled with
terrifying secret *ninpou* arts,
**[08:20] ---**
have loathed one another under
the pretext of a long-standing hatred.
**[08:25] ---**
The very height of stupidity, I feel.
**[08:28] ---**
Yes...
**[08:29] ---**
Oboro-*dono*...
**[08:31] ---**
We must join hands and break
the iron chains shackling both clans
**[08:37] ---**
and let the sounds of
the wide-open world and the wind
**[08:40] ---**
pass through the two valleys.
**[08:43] ---**
Yes, Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[08:54] ---**
I've placed Josuke in the "parlor"...
**[08:56] ---**
Good.
**[08:57] ---**
Keep the others in the dark about the scroll.
**[09:01] ---**
We mustn't let Oboro-*sama* get wind of it.
**[09:05] ---**
Understood.
**[09:08] ---**
Akeginu, what do you say we
take care of some business too?
**[09:12] ---**
Eh?
**[09:14] ---**
As we speak, Tenzen and the
others are out slaying Shougen.
**[09:18] ---**
But Tenzen-*sama* said to take no risks!
**[09:21] ---**
Precisely...
**[09:25] ---**
In that case...
**[09:26] ---**
...Udono Josuke is mine...
**[09:40] ---**
*An iron plate...*
**[09:47] ---**
Sticking me in a confinement room,
of all places... What a laugh!
**[09:56] ---**
*Still...*
**[09:58] ---**
*How sad that Akeginu hates me so...*
**[10:03] ---**
*Or maybe...*
**[10:08] ---**
*...she has other intentions?*
**[10:11] ---**
You should have seen your expression!
**[10:15] ---**
Is that so?
**[10:21] ---**
Oboro-*dono*... Why do you cover your eyes?
**[10:23] ---**
Oh, no reason...
**[10:27] ---**
You must be exhausted.
**[10:29] ---**
The night grows late.
You should rest in your room.
**[10:34] ---**
T-That's not it...
**[10:37] ---**
Your cheeks are red...
**[10:39] ---**
I-It's nothing...
**[10:42] ---**
Why do you turn your back?
**[10:44] ---**
It's... nothing...
**[10:48] ---**
You're being odd, Oboro-*dono*...
**[10:51] ---**
And you are being mean...
**[10:54] ---**
What was that? I did not hear you clearly...
**[11:00] ---**
Oh, nothing...
**[11:03] ---**
But that is why you're so--
**[11:07] ---**
Why I'm so what?
**[11:11] ---**
It's nothing!
**[11:13] ---**
Oboro-*dono*... Perhaps you should rest now...
**[11:19] ---**
*What a gigantic blockhead!*
**[11:22] ---**
*But at least you're all right...*
**[11:29] ---**
Udono-*sama*...
**[11:31] ---**
Josuke-*dono*... 'Tis Akeginu.
**[11:35] ---**
I bear shame to call on you.
**[11:40] ---**
At the banquet were the eyes
of the Iga clansmen, so...
**[11:46] ---**
What?!
**[11:48] ---**
Where could he be?!
**[11:51] ---**
W-Who're you?!
**[11:54] ---**
Josuke... *dono*!
**[11:57] ---**
Sorry we missed each other, Akeginu-*dono*...
**[12:00] ---**
How did you get out?!
**[12:02] ---**
Where there's love, there's a way!
**[12:05] ---**
*Shrewd bastard!*
**[12:07] ---**
How wonderful! We share the same sentiment!
**[12:11] ---**
Now then, Akeginu-*dono...*
**[12:14] ---**
Be my bride for tonight!
**[12:29] ---**
Now *this* is eye-pleasing!
**[12:32] ---**
Let us have a *ninpou* battle, Josuke-*dono*...
**[12:38] ---**
If I lose, I will be your wife for a night...
**[12:42] ---**
Sounds interesting... but I won't
go easy on you, Akeginu-*dono*.
**[12:48] ---**
And neither will I...
**[12:55] ---**
Y-You're...
**[13:20] ---**
Good night, Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[14:27] ---**
She disappeared!
**[14:30] ---**
Damn it!
**[14:32] ---**
*Where are you... Akeginu?!*
**[14:44] ---**
*Udono Josuke is slain...*
**[14:50] ---**
*What's going on?!*
**[14:52] ---**
That was a close one!
**[14:54] ---**
You're horrible, Akeginu!
**[14:57] ---**
What if I had died?
**[15:04] ---**
*You damned pork bun!*
**[15:31] ---**
It would seem the match
is mine, Akeginu-*dono*!
**[15:36] ---**
Now to make good on the agreement!
**[15:38] ---**
Akeginu?!
**[15:40] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[15:42] ---**
Oh! Oboro-*dono*!
**[15:44] ---**
Udono-*sama*!
**[15:46] ---**
What on earth were you--
**[15:49] ---**
Umm!
**[15:51] ---**
Boy, am I ashamed of myself.
**[15:55] ---**
The truth is, I unthinkingly made
another pass at Akeginu-*dono*
**[15:59] ---**
and finally incurred her wrath...
**[16:03] ---**
Oh, my...
**[16:05] ---**
Please don't tell Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[16:08] ---**
A-All right. But never do this again...
**[16:14] ---**
I swear by Aekuni Shrine!
**[16:32] ---**
I know not who you are, Iga clansman.
**[16:36] ---**
But the unshakable
animosity that rules your hearts...
**[16:40] ---**
I learned all too painfully at
the banquet just how deep its roots go...
**[16:48] ---**
But now I wish for the evil spell of
the old grudge to be broken all the more.
**[16:56] ---**
The chance to join hands and begin
carving out a new history together
**[17:02] ---**
is now upon us.
**[17:05] ---**
Could you trust in Oboro-*dono
*and myself and lend your assistance?
**[17:14] ---**
Akeginu...
**[17:15] ---**
Regardless of how
inappropriately Udono-*sama* jested,
**[17:18] ---**
using your techniques was going too far.
**[17:21] ---**
I apologize.
**[17:27] ---**
Isn't this--
**[17:29] ---**
That's the saltstore...
**[17:33] ---**
He couldn't be!
**[17:36] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[17:43] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[17:45] ---**
Oboro-*dono*... What's wrong?
**[17:47] ---**
Forgive me! Forgive me, Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[17:55] ---**
Whatever for?
**[18:00] ---**
G-Good night...
**[18:05] ---**
Jingorou! Where are you, Jingorou?!
**[18:14] ---**
Get down here, Jingorou!
**[18:26] ---**
O-Oboro-*sama*!
**[18:32] ---**
P-Please don't look!
**[18:40] ---**
Jingorou, did you...
**[18:43] ---**
try to kill Gennosuke-*sama*?!
**[18:54] ---**
Answer me, Jingorou!
**[18:57] ---**
W-Water! Water!
**[19:02] ---**
Oboro-*sama*! If nothing is done,
Jingorou-*dono* will...
**[19:06] ---**
Do not help him, Akeginu!
**[19:09] ---**
This is his punishment!
**[19:16] ---**
Water... Water!
**[19:34] ---**
*That bloodlust... was for real...*
**[19:42] ---**
W-Water!
**[19:45] ---**
What the?!
**[19:47] ---**
W-Water! Water!
**[19:52] ---**
Water! Water!
**[19:54] ---**
Well, I'll be! If it isn't
Amayo Jingorou-*dono*!
**[19:58] ---**
Water!
**[20:05] ---**
W-Water!
**[20:07] ---**
Don't tell me you tried to kill
Gennosuke-*sama* in that form?!
**[20:13] ---**
Give me... water!
**[20:22] ---**
Water!
**[20:23] ---**
Now talk, Amayo!
**[20:25] ---**
Why would you try to kill Gennosuke-*sama*
**[20:28] ---**
when the Kouga and Iga
are on the verge of peace?!
**[20:33] ---**
W-Water! Water!
**[20:37] ---**
First talk. Talk, and I'll give
you *all* the water you want!
**[20:46] ---**
T-The Hattori family's... anti-war pact...
**[20:51] ---**
...has been annulled...
**[20:54] ---**
What?! The Hattori family's pact?!
**[20:57] ---**
And?!
**[21:00] ---**
In short, the Iga... and Kouga...
**[21:06] ---**
The Iga and Kouga?!
**[21:11] ---**
The Kouga and Iga are what?!
**[21:13] ---**
Having a *ninpou* war!
**[21:16] ---**
I let my guard down!
**[21:18] ---**
*Fool! I don't sink!*
**[22:02] ---**
One of the Kouga Ten, Udono Josuke, is slain!

*The mist of sorrow softly touches
these lips blotted with red droplets*

*Giving more than a passing thought
to the myriad of showering stars*
**[22:59] ---**
*gently, the cords of a deep
bond firmly, firmly bind them*

*Those beautiful eyes that
sparkle with a lazuline hue...*
**[23:14] ---**
*Even if they wind up closed
by a harbinger from the darkness,*

*There were people who loathed one another.*
**[00:24] ---**
*Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...*
**[00:31] ---**
*And their bonds were broken by blades...*
**[00:50] ---**
*Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...*
**[00:56] ---**
*"My beloved, please die..."*

"My beloved, please die..."

moon quivering in the haze*

a pair of crucified fledglings*

"Kouga Manjidani"
**[02:54] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama* went to Tsubagakure?
**[02:57] ---**
Word came last night.
**[02:59] ---**
He'll be staying several days
at Ogen-*dono*'s compound.
**[03:01] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani Group - Okoi"
**[03:04] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani Group - Kisaragi Saemon"
**[03:09] ---**
Who's with him?
**[03:12] ---**
Josuke is accompanying him.
**[03:14] ---**
He had planned to meet with Oboro-*dono*,
**[03:16] ---**
but I guess they ran into him somewhere...
**[03:19] ---**
The Iga women are probably
feeling very annoyed as we speak!
**[03:25] ---**
Yes.
**[03:28] ---**
I wish I could have gone with him, too!
**[03:36] ---**
I've never even stepped
foot into Tsubagakure yet!
**[03:40] ---**
I'm sure you will soon enough.
**[03:44] ---**
I'm so bored.
**[03:47] ---**
With this *ninpou* exhibition,
**[03:49] ---**
I have nothing to pass the time with!
**[03:53] ---**
You're all stuck inside the compound...
**[03:56] ---**
Even my tea companion,
Jimushi-*dono*, left for Sunpu...
**[03:59] ---**
Hold on. Since when is
Jimushi-*dono* your tea companion?
**[04:05] ---**
And Gyobu-*dono* promised
to go boar-hunting with me!
**[04:08] ---**
Actually, he was looking
forward to that himself...
**[04:11] ---**
But we *are* supposed to watch
the place while Danjo-*sama* is away.
**[04:16] ---**
Be patient for a little longer.
**[04:19] ---**
Will you come hunting with us then, Brother?!
**[04:22] ---**
Count me out. I don't boar-hunt...
**[04:27] ---**
I prefer leisurely
fishing for char and the like.
**[04:30] ---**
No, I insist! You can be the bait!
**[04:33] ---**
Are you asking me to be boar food?
**[04:37] ---**
What do you take your brother for?!
**[04:47] ---**
Say, Okoi. Could I ask something of you?
**[04:52] ---**
"Kouga Danjo's Compound"
**[04:59] ---**
He can't be sane...
**[05:04] ---**
Marrying an Iga girl?!
**[05:05] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani Group - Kagero"
**[05:07] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani Group - Muroga Hyoma"
**[05:07] ---**
That's enough, Kagero.
**[05:10] ---**
You can stop repeating yourself.
**[05:12] ---**
This is Gennosuke-*sama*'s decision.
**[05:15] ---**
Made only after grasping the
situation and considering our future...
**[05:20] ---**
You catch on fast, Hyoma.
**[05:22] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani Group - Kasumi Gyobu"
**[05:23] ---**
Though it does sound as if you're
trying to persuade yourself...
**[05:29] ---**
Indeed.
**[05:30] ---**
But only half of the time now.
**[05:33] ---**
Seeing Gennosuke-*sama* as such
has only bettered my opinion of him.
**[05:39] ---**
What nonsense!
**[05:43] ---**
Marrying a girl he doesn't even
love for a peace no one wants...
**[05:47] ---**
He only meets with her
before a ceremony can be held
**[05:50] ---**
to make this Oboro or
whomever feel the same way!
**[05:54] ---**
If he cares for the Kouga clan at all,
**[05:56] ---**
he'll kill the Tsubagakure
ringleader's granddaughter at once!
**[05:59] ---**
Kagero.
**[06:11] ---**
Still, I cannot help but worry
about Gennosuke-*sama*'s safety.
**[06:16] ---**
Moreover, Jubei has foreseen misfortune,
**[06:20] ---**
and we already fear the worst
for Danjo-*sama* and Shogen...
**[06:25] ---**
I can go to Iga and check things out.
**[06:34] ---**
There's no need; I sent Okoi just now.
**[06:40] ---**
You're well-prepared.
**[06:41] ---**
Good thinking. The Iga will
likely be less wary of a girl...
**[06:45] ---**
Yes.
**[06:46] ---**
And Gennosuke-*sama* won't be
as angry if Okoi confronts him.
**[06:52] ---**
Precisely.
**[06:54] ---**
Then let's wait for her to--
**[06:59] ---**
Footsteps.
**[07:06] ---**
They belong to *shinobi*.
Coming from the north.
**[07:09] ---**
From the road? Could it be
Danjo-*sama* and the others?
**[07:13] ---**
No... The head count doesn't match.
**[07:16] ---**
Five... One is a girl.
**[07:20] ---**
There is bloodlust in their steps.
**[07:23] ---**
They're not Kouga!
**[07:29] ---**
"Iga Tsubagakure - Iga Ogen's Compound"
**[07:32] ---**
I don't seem to see Josuke...
**[07:34] ---**
Y-Yes... The truth is...
**[07:38] ---**
...he came to my room
many times before dawn...
**[07:44] ---**
He did what?
**[07:45] ---**
And then?
**[07:49] ---**
Akeginu.
**[07:50] ---**
Don't tell me...
**[07:52] ---**
Nothing of the sort!
**[07:54] ---**
But, I was at my wit's end
and said something a bit harsh...
**[08:00] ---**
What exactly did you say?
**[08:02] ---**
Well...
**[08:04] ---**
That fat gentlemen are not my type...
**[08:07] ---**
Oh, my!
**[08:08] ---**
He then fell unexpectedly silent...
**[08:14] ---**
How horrible...
**[08:20] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[08:22] ---**
No, putting such things so
bluntly is best for his sake.
**[08:27] ---**
Maybe so, but surely there
was a better way of saying it...
**[08:32] ---**
I'm certain it will be
good medicine for Josuke.
**[08:36] ---**
Akeginu-*dono*.
**[08:38] ---**
I apologize for all the
trouble we have caused.
**[08:41] ---**
N-No! Please raise your head!
**[08:45] ---**
Well, then, Oboro-*dono*.
Let us view Ogen-*dono*'s prized garden.
**[08:50] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[08:56] ---**
Akeginu.
**[08:57] ---**
Yes?!
**[08:58] ---**
Are Tenzen and the others not back yet?
**[09:02] ---**
No, they still have yet to return...
**[09:06] ---**
Wherever could they have gone?
**[09:16] ---**
How long it's been. You've grown well...
**[09:23] ---**
--Koshiro.
**[09:23] ---**
--Right.
**[09:45] ---**
The Kouga clan...
**[09:47] ---**
...is about to be exterminated!
**[10:41] ---**
Doesn't it seem *too* quiet?
**[10:43] ---**
Worry not, Hotarubi.
**[10:45] ---**
We're simply messengers for Kouga Gennosuke.
**[10:50] ---**
Clever thinking...
**[10:52] ---**
We could possibly even lure some
of the people on the roster to Iga...
**[10:59] ---**
Let's go.
**[11:18] ---**
This is the perfect time for fog.
**[11:20] ---**
Yes. Let us take out the rest
of the Ten before it clears.
**[11:26] ---**
It's a surprise attack,
but don't let your guard down.
**[11:29] ---**
Kazamachi Shogen did give you
that much trouble all on his own.
**[11:35] ---**
What is it, Koshiro?!
**[11:38] ---**
I sense someone!
**[11:50] ---**
W-What are you doing, Rosai?!
**[11:53] ---**
Curse you!
**[12:03] ---**
What is it?! What's going on?!
**[12:05] ---**
The wall spoke!
**[12:07] ---**
"The walls in Manjidani have ears," it said!
**[12:19] ---**
T-The wall!
**[12:22] ---**
Come out! Intruders!
**[12:27] ---**
Intruders have entered Manjidani!
**[12:46] ---**
Damn you!
**[13:20] ---**
Wait... Don't get the wrong idea.
**[13:23] ---**
We are messengers, sent here by
Kouga Gennosuke-*sama*'s request.
**[13:33] ---**
We won't fall for that trick!
**[13:36] ---**
Why would messengers from
Iga come from the north?!
**[13:43] ---**
What's more, your secret
code was very suspicious!
**[13:51] ---**
Seize them!
**[13:56] ---**
We were careless!
**[13:59] ---**
It's over! Strike them down!
**[15:27] ---**
The breath whirlwind, *Kamaitachi*!
**[15:30] ---**
How about some more, Kouga scum?!
**[15:35] ---**
*What?!*
**[16:10] ---**
I won't fall for the same trick twice.
**[16:47] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[16:51] ---**
Monster!
**[17:02] ---**
Don't falter!
**[17:04] ---**
In the name of the Kouga,
they must not be allowed to leave alive!
**[17:21] ---**
Do you not value your life?
**[17:27] ---**
Such drivel.
**[17:46] ---**
Get them!
**[17:47] ---**
Gyobu, stop.
**[17:50] ---**
Iga clansmen, have you gone mad?!
**[17:54] ---**
You Kouga are the mad ones.
**[17:58] ---**
That was quite the welcome you gave us.
**[18:04] ---**
I simply ordered the
capture of suspicious men,
**[18:07] ---**
in pursuance with the anti-war pact...
**[18:08] ---**
We merely defended ourselves!
**[18:13] ---**
Had we not,
**[18:16] ---**
the five of us would be corpses by now...
**[18:32] ---**
Why are you here?!
**[18:37] ---**
It's very clear how the Kouga do things now!
**[18:40] ---**
Should you ever be mad enough to
visit Iga Tsubagakure in the future,
**[18:46] ---**
know now that you'll be
as warmly treated as we were here!
**[19:09] ---**
Bastard!
**[19:10] ---**
Gyobu!
**[19:45] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[20:05] ---**
Who are you?!
**[20:09] ---**
Suspicious bastard!
**[20:11] ---**
From Iga, are you?!
**[20:14] ---**
Stop!
**[20:37] ---**
Oh, no, you don't!
**[21:07] ---**
Damn! I screwed *that* up!
**[21:30] ---**
Oboro-*dono*.
**[21:31] ---**
Yes?
**[21:32] ---**
I'm sorry to ask,
**[21:33] ---**
but could you send a messenger
to Kouga Manjidani?
**[21:37] ---**
Eh?
**[21:39] ---**
I want to make certain if
Josuke has returned or not.
**[21:53] ---**
I hope it's only my imagination...
**[21:57] ---**
Forgive my rudeness...
**[22:00] ---**
Not at all. I'll send one at once!
**[22:03] ---**
Thank you.

**[00:19] ---**
*There were people who loathed one another.*
**[00:24] ---**
*Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...*
**[00:31] ---**
*And their bonds were broken by blades...*
**[00:50] ---**
*Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...*
**[00:56] ---**
*"My beloved, please die..."*
**[01:03] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:34] ---**
*Clouds shroud a night with a waning
moon quivering in the haze*
**[01:45] ---**
*A cruel trap involving
a pair of crucified fledglings*°
**[01:55] ---**
*Oh, since smoldering feelings
lie firmly in their hearts...*
**[02:07] ---**
*destruction!*
**[02:08] ---**
*Gently as the water, severely as a flower*
**[02:14] ---**
*pierce with a trembling blade*

tears deep within my eyes*
**[02:24] ---**

**[02:42] ---**
"Falling Tears, Tender Emotions"
**[02:56] ---**
Now the Kouga know we're up to something!
**[03:01] ---**
We have no choice now
but to slay Gennosuke at once!
**[03:19] ---**
What is it?
**[03:43] ---**
A Kouga?
**[03:44] ---**
The way she carries herself...
**[03:46] ---**
She could well be one listed on the roster...
**[04:24] ---**
Might you be from Kouga Manjidani?
**[04:29] ---**
There's no need to take a stance.
**[04:31] ---**
As I'm sure you're aware, we are from Iga...
**[04:34] ---**
...but surely you know that Kouga
and Iga are no longer enemies.
**[04:39] ---**
Forgive me. I've not introduced myself.
**[04:43] ---**
My name is Yakushiji Tenzen.
**[04:52] ---**
Okoi.
**[04:54] ---**
"Okoi"
**[04:56] ---**
We were actually sent to Manjidani
at Gennosuke-*sama*'s request,
**[05:03] ---**
but the people there misunderstood
and drove us out most furiously...
**[05:10] ---**
That's what you get for
underestimating the Kouga.
**[05:13] ---**
We can't possibly return to
Gennosuke-*sama* with such shame.
**[05:18] ---**
What do you say?
**[05:19] ---**
Could you accompany us back to see him?
**[05:23] ---**
Is Gennosuke-*sama* all right?!
**[05:26] ---**
"All right?" How silly...
**[05:29] ---**
Even if we did harbor evil intent,
**[05:33] ---**
what could we possibly do to him?
**[05:38] ---**
That's true.
**[05:41] ---**
If you're worried,
that's all the more reason to come.
**[05:44] ---**
You're welcome to visit
Iga to see for yourself.
**[05:55] ---**
I'll go ask...
**[05:59] ---**
...the people in Manjidani!
**[06:03] ---**
Leave her to me!
**[06:23] ---**
Halt!
**[06:33] ---**
Got him!
**[06:45] ---**
So close... So very close, Okoi...
**[07:02] ---**
Nenki, do not kill her.
**[07:06] ---**
I have things to ask this girl...
**[07:10] ---**
*Now* you say so...
**[07:12] ---**
She could also be bait for slaying Gennosuke.
**[07:15] ---**
We can remove her name
from the roster after that.
**[07:51] ---**
*I can't find them! The scroll,
Ogen-sama, not even Danjo!*
**[07:56] ---**
*I'm a day behind Shogen.
The Kouga could already have the scroll...*
**[08:00] ---**
*Meaning everyone in Tsubagakure could be...*
**[08:10] ---**
*Hotarubi! Hotarubi!*
**[08:15] ---**
Be all right, Hotarubi!
**[08:33] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*...
**[08:36] ---**
I say we raid Iga!
**[08:45] ---**
We cannot do that, Gyobu.
**[08:49] ---**
Are you just going to
overlook what they did?!
**[08:51] ---**
Do not forget.
Gennosuke-*sama* is in Tsubagakure.
**[08:58] ---**
Besides...
**[08:59] ---**
Because we let them go,
**[09:01] ---**
they *will* expect us to
attack Tsubagakure in return.
**[09:06] ---**
You're going to leave
Gennosuke-*sama* to die for fear of that?!
**[09:10] ---**
Hyoma!
**[09:13] ---**
He would never be so easily
slain by the likes of the Iga.
**[09:19] ---**
S-Still!
**[09:21] ---**
We *will* go to Tsubagakure.
To inquire of his well-being.
**[09:26] ---**
But first there is something
we must make certain of...
**[09:30] ---**
Why the Iga would attack
Manjidani when a truce
**[09:34] ---**
between Kouga and Iga draws near...
**[09:38] ---**
It may be the doing of
someone who despises that truce.
**[09:42] ---**
Even many of our own
would love to attack the Iga,
**[09:46] ---**
if not for the anti-war pact...
**[09:49] ---**
Yes, the pact.
**[09:53] ---**
Do you suppose it *could* have been nullified?
**[09:55] ---**
W-What?!
**[10:00] ---**
Gyobu, you said you heard
suspicious words from Yakushiji Tenzen
**[10:05] ---**
while inside the wall...
**[10:07] ---**
Yes. He said, "It's a surprise attack,
but don't let your guard down."
**[10:13] ---**
"Kazamachi Shogen *did* give you
that much trouble all on his own."
**[10:20] ---**
If Shogen was trying to return to Manjidani
**[10:25] ---**
with an urgent message
**[10:28] ---**
from the Tokaido Road the Iga took,
**[10:31] ---**
but was slain by them en route...
**[10:34] ---**
...their true motive could be...
**[10:44] ---**
All right! I'll check out the Tokaido Road!
**[10:55] ---**
I, too, will go.
**[11:27] ---**
Yasha...
**[11:30] ---**
Yasha...
**[11:32] ---**
Yashamaru...
**[11:36] ---**
Who's there?!
**[11:40] ---**
'Tis I, Yashamaru...
**[11:44] ---**
'Tis Yakushiji...
**[11:47] ---**
T-That voice! It *is* you, Tenzen-*sama*!
**[11:51] ---**
Where are you?! Where are you?!
**[11:54] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[11:55] ---**
I cannot show myself for certain reasons...
**[11:59] ---**
Tell me, Yashamaru.
Why have you returned from Sunpu?
**[12:07] ---**
Something big, Tenzen-*sama*!
**[12:09] ---**
Something big?
**[12:11] ---**
What exactly happened there?
**[12:14] ---**
More importantly, Tenzen-*sama*,
**[12:16] ---**
is the reason you can't show yourself
**[12:20] ---**
because you've been killed?!
**[12:23] ---**
*Killed?!*
**[12:25] ---**
Was it by the hands of
the Kouga's Kazamachi Shogen?!
**[12:33] ---**
Indeed...
**[12:35] ---**
It was Kazamachi Shogen.
**[12:39] ---**
P-Please forgive me!
**[12:41] ---**
Being the novice that I am,
**[12:43] ---**
I was fooled and had
the roster stolen by Kouga Danjo!
**[12:49] ---**
*Roster?*
**[12:52] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*! What about
Hotarubi-- no, everyone in Tsubagakure?!
**[12:57] ---**
Rest easy. Everyone is fine.
**[13:01] ---**
More importantly, Yashamaru...
**[13:03] ---**
What is this "roster"?
**[13:05] ---**
You'll never believe it, Tenzen-*sama*!
**[13:08] ---**
Retired shogun leyasu-*sama*,
**[13:11] ---**
right in front of Hattori-*sama* at Sunpu,
**[13:14] ---**
declared that the anti-war pact
between Iga and Kouga is nullified!
**[13:18] ---**
What?!
**[13:19] ---**
*That's not him!*
**[13:21] ---**
*Now I've done it!*
**[13:22] ---**
There you are!
**[13:34] ---**
A Kouga, huh?!
**[13:36] ---**
*Must be one of the Ten!*
**[13:39] ---**
*A return gift will save some face for me!*
**[13:47] ---**
Have a taste of my *Kokujou*'s hell!
**[14:28] ---**
Yashamaru...
**[16:08] ---**
Thanks, Gyobu... I owe you one...
**[16:12] ---**
I wanted to keep him alive
to make him spill the details,
**[16:16] ---**
but he left me no choice...
**[16:19] ---**
That was a real bombshell he blurted out...
**[16:23] ---**
It's just as Hyoma thought...
**[16:26] ---**
Yes...
**[16:29] ---**
Still... what is this "roster"?
**[16:48] ---**
Is something the matter, Oboro-*sama*?
**[16:51] ---**
N-Not at all!
**[16:53] ---**
Akeginu. Is that...
**[16:55] ---**
Yes. Tenzen-*sama* and the
others returned shortly ago...
**[16:59] ---**
Oh!
**[17:26] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*! T-The messenger I--
**[17:37] ---**
Calm down.
**[17:44] ---**
The messenger I sent has returned!
**[17:47] ---**
He says that Udono-*sama* is well!
**[17:51] ---**
I see...
**[17:52] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[17:53] ---**
Tenzen and the others
appear to have returned as well!
**[17:57] ---**
To be honest, I was a little worried.
**[18:00] ---**
There *are* people who don't
enjoy the idea of a truce...
**[18:08] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[18:09] ---**
No, it seems I was just imagining things.
**[18:13] ---**
Thank you, Oboro-*dono*!
**[18:42] ---**
I've pared and tied the Kouga girl up
**[18:45] ---**
in the saltstore for now.
**[18:48] ---**
Good work...
**[18:50] ---**
Amayo, what of Gennosuke?
**[18:53] ---**
It seems he was sniffing
around for some reason,
**[18:56] ---**
but there's no need to worry.
**[18:58] ---**
I gave advance instructions
to Oboro-*sama*'s likely messengers.
**[19:04] ---**
Does he suspect?
**[19:06] ---**
Never fear.
**[19:08] ---**
He has Oboro-*sama*'s innocent eyes on him.
**[19:12] ---**
There is no man alive
who would mistrust them.
**[19:18] ---**
So Oboro-*sama*'s love-drenched eyes
**[19:21] ---**
will actually drive her
lover into the jaws of death.
**[19:25] ---**
Such irony...
**[19:29] ---**
Tenzen, isn't it about time
**[19:32] ---**
we tell Oboro-*sama* all that has happened?
**[19:44] ---**
If Yasha still hasn't returned,
**[19:46] ---**
we can probably count him among the dead...
**[19:55] ---**
I just hope the tender
emotions won't hinder her ability.
**[20:09] ---**
How cruel it is to not know...
**[20:14] ---**
If we slay Gennosuke,
**[20:16] ---**
will Oboro-*sama* also be soaked by the rain?
**[20:36] ---**
We're not going back to Kouga to report?
**[20:40] ---**
Time is of the essence.
**[20:43] ---**
Let's keep going.
**[20:46] ---**
Yes...
**[20:48] ---**
Besides, even with everyone
in the Kouga clan,
**[20:52] ---**
you and I *are* the only ones
capable of rescuing Gennosuke-*sama*
**[20:58] ---**
from the Tsubagakure valley.
**[21:09] ---**
Still, I'm impressed every time I see it...

**[03:21] ---**
What is it, Koshiro?
**[03:24] ---**
Tenzen-*sama* wants to see you.
**[03:27] ---**
I see.
**[03:30] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*, I'll be back shortly.
**[03:55] ---**
Impressive woodcarvings.
**[03:59] ---**
Such charming owls...
**[04:02] ---**
I was curious about who had carved them,
**[04:05] ---**
and asked Oboro-*dono*.
**[04:11] ---**
You should teach the Kouga
children how to do it someday, too.
**[04:16] ---**
Koshiro, was it?
**[04:18] ---**
I hear you and Oboro-*dono
*grew up almost as siblings...
**[04:29] ---**
I, too, have close siblings by my side.
**[04:37] ---**
I am busy now.
**[04:52] ---**
Kouga girl...

Answer my questions carefully.
**[04:59] ---**
Realize that whether you leave alive
or not depends on how you reply.
**[05:13] ---**
The Kouga Ten.
**[05:17] ---**
First is Muroga Hyoma.
**[05:20] ---**
I hear that he is a blind *shinobi*...
**[05:24] ---**
What manner of *ninpou* does he wield?
**[05:28] ---**
The woman called Kagero...
What are her techniques?
**[05:33] ---**
And the man named Kisaragi Saemon--
**[05:42] ---**
You are not allowed to relieve yourself.
**[05:44] ---**
If you want to go, you will reveal
all the techniques the Kouga employ.
**[05:49] ---**
Do you think I will?
**[05:53] ---**
I already told you. If
you do not reveal them--
**[05:57] ---**
Tell me, old man.
**[05:59] ---**
What?
**[06:00] ---**
I've been curious...
**[06:03] ---**
What's crammed inside that head of yours?
**[06:07] ---**
Tell me and I'll think it over.
**[06:20] ---**
You know full well.
**[06:23] ---**
Packed inside here...
**[06:25] ---**
...is all the loathing I have for the Kouga.
**[06:29] ---**
I remember it as if it were yesterday...
**[06:32] ---**
You Kouga scum used Oda's
surprise attack to strike us Iga dead...
**[06:49] ---**
That's a lie!
**[06:51] ---**
That feeble Danjo covered it up...
**[06:56] ---**
I've heard the story!
**[06:58] ---**
But even if you *were* feuding,
the Kouga would never stoop so low!
**[07:03] ---**
It must be a misunderstanding!
**[07:06] ---**
Such is the way of one's kin.
**[07:08] ---**
Though had our roles been reversed,
**[07:12] ---**
we probably would have done
the same as the Kouga did.
**[07:16] ---**
Then how can *you* call *us* villains?!
**[07:30] ---**
Now...
**[07:32] ---**
It's your turn to answer.
**[07:34] ---**
I guess there is no need to ask
about the techniques of this "Okoi"...
**[07:40] ---**
First, I will slice your ears off...
**[07:44] ---**
Followed by your right arm...
**[07:46] ---**
Your left arm...
**[07:48] ---**
And then I'll lop off your breasts...
**[07:53] ---**
I doubt you wish to undergo such horror...
**[08:00] ---**
So, then...
**[08:04] ---**
Speak obediently...
**[08:11] ---**
M-My hand won't come off!
**[08:17] ---**
W-Wench!
**[08:41] ---**
You really should've asked...
**[08:44] ---**
D-Damn you!
**[09:07] ---**
Take *this* to your grave!
**[10:32] ---**
The Iga *are* up to something...
**[10:35] ---**
I *must* make certain of
Gennosuke-*sama*'s well-being,
**[10:38] ---**
and then return to Kouga alive...
**[10:47] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama* had mentioned it,
**[10:50] ---**
but it truly is an impressive layout.
**[10:54] ---**
Yes...
**[10:59] ---**
The pain of being invaded by Oda long ago
**[11:02] ---**
appears to have been put to full use.
**[11:06] ---**
There are lookouts hidden all about.
**[11:10] ---**
They must really fear a Kouga retaliation.
**[11:14] ---**
I will go straight through the front.
**[11:18] ---**
Let's meet up in inside.
**[11:21] ---**
Understood.
**[11:23] ---**
Saemon!
**[11:27] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*'s well-being
is most important here.
**[11:35] ---**
Don't tell me what I already know.
**[12:02] ---**
I'm counting on you, Okoi.
**[12:05] ---**
Right, Brother!
**[12:26] ---**
Go already!
**[12:39] ---**
What a hopeless girl...
**[12:48] ---**
I'll be back, Brother!
**[13:23] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*?
**[14:06] ---**
Rosai, are you in here?
**[14:31] ---**
Tell me, girl. Has Rosai been here?
**[14:36] ---**
The old man with the white beard...
**[14:45] ---**
Kill me!
**[14:48] ---**
It'd seem you confessed to everything...
**[14:52] ---**
A Kouga woman cannot live
after being violated by an Iga!
**[14:57] ---**
What?!
**[14:59] ---**
That Rosai!
**[15:02] ---**
I took him for a decrepit old bag
who'd long lost his interest in that...
**[15:08] ---**
But I guess...
**[15:11] ---**
...the old man has plenty of
virility and versatility left yet.
**[15:27] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*?
**[15:30] ---**
I-Isn't it obvious?!
**[15:47] ---**
*This girl...*
**[15:52] ---**
*She was among the group that
invaded Manjidani this morning!*
**[16:06] ---**
*Has she seen through me?!*
**[16:32] ---**
*Oh no!*
**[16:37] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[16:39] ---**
I...
**[16:42] ---**
I was so worried!
**[16:52] ---**
*So that's how they were...*
**[16:57] ---**
I'm so relieved that you're well!
**[17:01] ---**
Of course I'm well. Who do you think I am?
**[17:17] ---**
Fool!
**[17:21] ---**
*Is she testing me?! If
so, then I'll have to...*
**[17:42] ---**
T-Thanks...
**[17:49] ---**
*Just my imagination...*
**[17:55] ---**
W-What a shock...
**[17:57] ---**
Not only does your snake not
recognize me, but you as well...
**[18:04] ---**
I-I apologize! It's just that--
**[18:08] ---**
Your hair was so different than
it was when you left for Sunpu, so...
**[18:15] ---**
O-Oh.
**[18:17] ---**
*I'm certain I didn't mess up, but...*
**[18:21] ---**
It must be the work of
Kouga Danjo or Kazamachi Shogen.
**[18:27] ---**
Yeah, something like that.
**[18:30] ---**
I have great news!
**[18:33] ---**
That Danjo bastard is most likely dead now!
**[18:37] ---**
What?!
**[18:39] ---**
And as for Shogen...
**[18:43] ---**
...I delivered the finishing
blow with these hands!
**[18:49] ---**
Over, and over!
**[18:57] ---**
I see...
**[18:59] ---**
Well done... Hotarubi.
**[19:08] ---**
*Jimushi Jyubei's astromancy...*
**[19:11] ---**
*It was right, after all!*
**[19:21] ---**
Well, Okoi?
**[19:27] ---**
I'm much better than
the old man, wouldn't you say?
**[20:03] ---**
How are you feeling?!
**[20:05] ---**
D-Damn you! You're a human leech!
**[20:10] ---**
Ah, your blood is much more
seething than that old man's!
**[20:16] ---**
I'll squeeze every last drop out of you!
**[21:08] ---**
I apologize for the wait.
**[21:16] ---**
Tenzen... What did you want to see me for?
**[21:21] ---**
Tenzen?
**[21:22] ---**
I have given much thought to this matter...
**[21:28] ---**
...and have decided to tell you forthright.
**[21:32] ---**
Oboro-*sama*, prepare
yourself for what I have to say.
**[21:37] ---**
The anti-war pact
negotiated by the Hattori family
**[21:40] ---**
between the Iga and Kouga...
**[21:43] ---**
...In Sunpu, by order of
retired shogun leyasu-*sama*...
**[21:50] ---**
...it was nullified.
**[22:31] ---**
*The mist of sorrow softly touches
these lips blotted with red droplets*
**[22:42] ---**
*The mirror in the sky beautifully
illuminates the distance in the night*
**[22:53] ---**
*Giving more than a passing thought
to the myriad of showering stars*
**[22:59] ---**
*gently, the cords of a deep
bond firmly, firmly bind them*
**[23:08] ---**
*Those beautiful eyes that
sparkle with a lazuline hue...*
**[23:14] ---**
*Even if they wind up closed
by a harbinger from the darkness,*
**[23:20] ---**
*since no one can steal
the bridge of connected dreams*
**[23:28] ---**
*they still reflect the limitless tomorrow*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next Time"
**[23:51] ---**
*A beast's carnal rapture.
Horrific death throes.*
**[23:56] ---**
*There lies a lake of
blood, a hell of needles.*
**[23:59] ---**
*A nostalgic voice is heard from the abyss.*
**[24:01] ---**
*The final flicker of the fading lamplight*
**[24:04] ---**
*carves a death smile upon
the cheeks of the pure one.*
**[24:09] ---**
*On the next Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:*
**[24:14] ---**
*"Blood Spray of Heartlessness."*

"Blood Spray of Heartlessness"
**[04:07] ---**
The rain falls the same
for both Kouga and Iga...
**[04:12] ---**
There is no rain that never stops.
**[04:19] ---**
At least there shouldn't be.
**[04:24] ---**
Tenzen, what did you want to see me for?
**[04:29] ---**
Tenzen?
**[04:31] ---**
I have given much thought to this matter...
**[04:36] ---**

**[04:52] ---**
...In Sunpu, by order of
retired shogun leyasu-*sama*...
**[05:00] ---**
...it was nullified.
**[05:06] ---**
Tenzen, what did you just say?
**[05:09] ---**
The shackles on the 400-year-old
grudge between our clans
**[05:13] ---**
have finally been removed for
the first time since the Tenshou Era.
**[05:17] ---**
Moreover, he has ordered
that both sides do their utmost...
**[05:25] ---**
...in a battle to the death.
**[05:28] ---**
That can't be!
**[05:31] ---**
If you doubt me, then have a
look at the roster for yourself.
**[05:35] ---**
Roster?
**[05:38] ---**
You, too, must accept this
and make up your mind.
**[05:50] ---**
You're lying!
**[05:56] ---**
The Iga and Kouga at war...
**[06:01] ---**
Even if it *was* rescinded,
**[06:04] ---**
the Iga and Kouga would never wage war!
**[06:09] ---**
I'm certain Gennosuke-*sama
*feels the same way!
**[06:17] ---**
Please wait.
**[06:20] ---**
Unfortunately, there is no need
to verify the Kouga's intentions...
**[06:25] ---**
...they are already clear!
**[06:38] ---**
Ah, your blood is much more
seething than that old man's!
**[06:53] ---**
I'll squeeze every last drop out of you!
**[08:02] ---**
Are you in here, Rosai?
Tenzen says he wants the roster--
**[08:07] ---**
What?!
**[08:13] ---**
Damn you!
**[08:19] ---**
A Kouga girl has been captured?
**[08:22] ---**
Yes. A young girl named Okoi.
**[08:27] ---**
Her name is listed on the roster.
**[08:31] ---**
The roster...
**[08:34] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*...
You don't know about the roster?
**[08:39] ---**
No... Of course I do.
**[08:45] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*?
**[08:49] ---**
Take me to this girl.
**[09:00] ---**
I must say, you impress me, Kouga girl...
**[09:03] ---**
But this is the end!
**[09:11] ---**
W-Why you!
**[09:15] ---**
*I need to find more skin!*
**[09:20] ---**
What?!
**[09:32] ---**
Tried some trickery, did you?
**[09:36] ---**
Do not make light of me, girl!
**[09:54] ---**
I was told not to kill you...
**[09:58] ---**
...but you really left me no choice.
**[10:01] ---**
You *are* listed on the roster, after all.
**[10:09] ---**
You were never going to leave alive, anyway.
**[10:32] ---**
With the truce off, she practically
threw her life away coming here!
**[10:40] ---**
Sneaking into Tsubagakure
all alone... what a foolish girl!
**[10:46] ---**
Would you not agree?
**[10:54] ---**
*Okoi...*
**[11:05] ---**
*Okoi!*
**[11:20] ---**
Brother...
**[11:25] ---**
Brother!
**[11:28] ---**
*Okoi!*
**[11:50] ---**
Oh, Yashamaru. When did you return?
**[11:58] ---**
Nenki-*dono*!
**[12:04] ---**
Say nothing of this.
**[12:11] ---**
Answer me, Yashamaru!
**[12:18] ---**
Yes...
**[12:21] ---**
I returned just now...
**[12:24] ---**
Mere moments ago...
**[12:30] ---**
What's wrong, Yashamaru?
**[12:34] ---**
Some of the venom from
Hotarubi's snake seems to be left...
**[12:42] ---**
You fool around with
another woman or something?
**[12:46] ---**
All right, all right...
**[12:51] ---**
I-It was a joke! Don't
glare at me like that...
**[12:57] ---**
C-Come on, I was only joking!
**[13:06] ---**
*Okoi... Okoi...*
**[13:16] ---**
*Okoi...*
**[13:28] ---**
*Brother...*
**[13:31] ---**
*I'm sorry, Okoi... I was
one minute too late...*
**[13:39] ---**
*Brother...*
**[13:42] ---**
*I killed one old man...*
**[13:47] ---**
*You did? That's wonderful...
You did well, Okoi!*
**[13:58] ---**
*Between the... straw bales...
is a suspicious scroll...*
**[14:11] ---**
*I understand...*
**[14:19] ---**
*B-Brother...*
**[14:32] ---**
*Brother...*
**[14:36] ---**
*Brother...*
**[14:43] ---**
*Brother...*
**[14:47] ---**
*Brother...*
**[14:51] ---**
*Brother!*
**[14:55] ---**
*Brother...*
**[15:14] ---**
Oh, yes!
**[15:16] ---**
Yashamaru! What happened at Sunpu?
**[15:24] ---**
Actually...
**[15:27] ---**
I cannot say until I've met with Oboro-*sama*.
**[15:34] ---**
You mean you still haven't seen her?
**[15:37] ---**
Oboro-*sama* is having a private
meeting with Tenzen-*sama*, so...
**[15:44] ---**
Tenzen is having a lot of trouble
trying to convince her of the fact
**[15:49] ---**
that a *ninpou* war between
Iga and Kouga has begun!
**[15:55] ---**
She *is* head over heels
for Gennosuke, after all...
**[16:00] ---**
It would seem Gennosuke is being kept alive.
**[16:03] ---**
That's just it!
Tenzen fears Gennosuke too much!
**[16:09] ---**
I don't know what techniques he uses,
but he's no match for us Iga.
**[16:15] ---**
Shall I bring you some antidote?
**[16:23] ---**
However terrifying they may be,
**[16:27] ---**
we've already removed Kazamachi,
Jimushi, and Udono from the list,
**[16:31] ---**
and I, myself, just put an end to Okoi!
**[16:35] ---**
Why does that stinking
Tenzen choose to hesitate now?!
**[16:39] ---**
Oh, I almost forgot.
**[16:41] ---**
The roster. I must find Rosai...
**[16:50] ---**
N-N-Nenki...
**[16:57] ---**
What are you doing, Jingoro?!
**[17:00] ---**
G-Give me water...
**[17:06] ---**
There! Drink up!
**[17:11] ---**
What a lost cause...
**[17:13] ---**
Rosai-*dono*!
**[17:15] ---**
What is it, Hotarubi?!
**[17:19] ---**
Rosai!
**[17:21] ---**
Please wait, Oboro-*sama*!
**[17:23] ---**
No, I will not allow this!
**[17:25] ---**
I will not allow you to hold
a Manjidani girl in the saltstore!
**[17:31] ---**
What's this?
**[17:32] ---**
Listen to reason!
There is no turning back now!
**[17:36] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[17:50] ---**
Yashamaru?!
**[17:55] ---**
What is it?! What's going on?!
**[17:57] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*?!
**[18:10] ---**
You're a damn Kouga!
**[18:29] ---**
Princess!
**[18:35] ---**
Damn!
**[18:37] ---**
The roster!
**[18:42] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*! The scroll!
**[18:45] ---**
What?!
**[18:46] ---**
Oh! Leave it to me!
**[18:54] ---**
W-What?!
**[19:11] ---**
That's...
**[19:14] ---**
...Kasumi... Gyobu!
**[19:17] ---**
Where's the Kouga man who
disguised himself as Yashamaru?!
**[19:30] ---**
Don't let him escape! After him!
**[20:13] ---**
Halt!
**[20:34] ---**
Koshiro.
**[20:35] ---**
Yes?
**[20:38] ---**
Gather the men.
**[21:49] ---**
Gyobu...
**[21:52] ---**
Saemon...
**[21:57] ---**
Let us return to Manjidani...

Let us return to Manjidani...
**[04:08] ---**
How cruel!
**[04:20] ---**
Oboro-*sama*...
**[04:22] ---**
You deceived me too, didn't you?!
**[04:27] ---**
You killed Udono-*sama*, too!
**[04:32] ---**
Yes.
**[04:38] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[04:43] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama... Gennosuke-sama!*
**[05:03] ---**
*Why is he hesitating at this stage?!*
**[05:07] ---**
Open the path, you insipid Iga monkeys!
**[05:18] ---**
Or maybe you're so afraid
of us that you *can't* move?
**[05:24] ---**
Attack!
**[05:26] ---**
Wait!
**[05:31] ---**
Tenzen!
**[05:34] ---**
--Tenzen!
**[05:35] ---**
--Tenzen-*sama*...
**[05:37] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*...
**[05:38] ---**
Do not be hasty!
**[05:41] ---**
There is still something
vital we do not know...
**[05:45] ---**
Kouga Gennosuke's abilities...
**[05:53] ---**
It would seem the Iga *aren't* monolithic!
**[05:58] ---**
I thought the anti-war truce was nullified?
**[06:03] ---**
Was torturing one woman
to death enough for you,
**[06:07] ---**
you monkey's uncle?
**[06:11] ---**
*You* killed Yashamaru-*dono*!
**[06:13] ---**
Yashamaru?
**[06:16] ---**
Oh...
**[06:21] ---**
Damn you! Damn you!
**[06:25] ---**
You're unsightly, Hotarubi.
**[06:28] ---**
Don't call me that in those clothes!
**[06:30] ---**
You sicken me!
**[06:32] ---**
You certainly were happy to say
you dispatched Kazamachi Shogen...
**[06:43] ---**
W-What about that Okoi
or whatever girl?! She--
**[06:45] ---**
Stop, Amayo! Do not let them provoke you!
**[06:50] ---**
Attack! In the name of
the Iga, kill them all!
**[06:55] ---**
Nenki!
**[07:00] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[09:21] ---**
*I cannot allow Gennosuke to leave like this!*
**[09:25] ---**
*But who is there?!*
**[09:27] ---**
*There are no ninpou techniques
that can rival his Dojutsu!*
**[09:32] ---**
*No one can possibly stand up to--*
**[09:36] ---**
Koshiro!
**[09:44] ---**
K-Koshiro!
**[09:46] ---**
Oboro-*sama*.
**[09:50] ---**
Please resolve yourself to this.
**[09:55] ---**
Stop! Kouga Gennosuke!
**[10:10] ---**
In the name of the Iga...
**[10:12] ---**
...I will slay you!
**[10:17] ---**
You would brandish scythes with those hands?
**[10:30] ---**
You're an impudent fool, Tenzen flunky...
**[10:37] ---**
*Gennosuke's Dojutsu...*
**[10:41] ---**
*A dazzling technique which forces
only those who intend to harm him*
**[10:45] ---**
*to destroy themselves...*
**[10:50] ---**
The only Iga member here
who can possibly slay him...
**[10:57] ---**
...is Chikuma Koshiro!
**[11:20] ---**
You may be able to shoot
down sickles and knives...
**[11:25] ---**
...but when it comes to deflecting
Koshiro's whirlwind *Kamaitachi*...
**[11:31] ---**
Once he unleashes it, there is no defense!
**[11:35] ---**
Not even Gennosuke's *Dojutsu* can stop it!
**[12:04] ---**
Chikuma Koshiro's vacuum whirlwind!
**[12:08] ---**
Nothing in this world can defend against it!
**[12:10] ---**
Stop it!
**[12:11] ---**
Please stop this, Koshiro!
**[12:14] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[12:22] ---**
Akeginu! Why did you not stop her?!
**[12:25] ---**
M-My apologies!
**[12:28] ---**
Oboro-*sama*! Please step aside!
**[12:31] ---**
Please stop, Koshiro!
**[12:34] ---**
You and Gennosuke-*sama* can't fight!
**[12:40] ---**
Are you trying to kill Koshiro?!
**[12:42] ---**
Oboro-*sama*! Gennosuke! Look at Gennosuke!
**[12:56] ---**
Look at Gennosuke's eyes, Oboro-*sama*!
**[12:59] ---**
It is his *Dojutsu* that must be stopped!
**[13:11] ---**
Oboro-*sama*! Get behind Koshiro!
**[13:15] ---**
Stand behind him and look
at Gennosuke's eyes!
**[13:21] ---**
Your piercing eyes
and the whirlwind *Kamaitachi*!
**[13:26] ---**
This is *the* ultimate combination!
**[13:34] ---**
I beg you, Koshiro!
**[13:35] ---**
Please don't kill Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[14:05] ---**
K-Koshiro?!
**[14:10] ---**
W-What has she done?!
**[14:40] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[14:47] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[14:54] ---**
He left...
**[14:57] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama* left!
**[15:49] ---**
He has escaped death...
**[15:56] ---**
However... he has lost the use of his eyes.
**[16:01] ---**
I see.
**[16:03] ---**
Tend to him for a while.
**[16:06] ---**
Understood.
**[16:09] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[16:12] ---**
Your actions earlier...
were absolutely inexcusable!
**[16:17] ---**
If you were not your
grandmother's successor...
**[16:21] ---**
Please forgive me, Tenzen...
**[16:24] ---**
Apologize to your grandmother
**[16:25] ---**
and the 400-year old
spirits of your Iga ancestors!
**[16:29] ---**
Those were truly the actions of a traitor!
**[16:37] ---**
Of our ten, Ogen-*sama*, Rosai,
and Yashamaru have been slain...
**[16:46] ---**
...and Koshiro has been severely wounded.
**[16:48] ---**
What's more, the roster has been stolen.
**[16:52] ---**
We *must* retrieve it,
even at the expense of lives!
**[16:57] ---**
But our clan has been
living for this very day!
**[17:02] ---**
We should actually be celebrating!
**[17:04] ---**
Those Kouga swine...
**[17:06] ---**
Let's drive every last one of
them into a hellish lake of blood!
**[17:11] ---**
For that...
**[17:13] ---**
...we need Oboro-*sama* to stand
at the forefront of this fierce war!
**[17:19] ---**
Swear it, Oboro-*sama*!
**[17:22] ---**
Swear that you *will* slay
Kouga Gennosuke by your own hand!
**[17:41] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[17:44] ---**
I...
**[17:46] ---**
I cannot slay Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[17:49] ---**
Unacceptable!
**[17:50] ---**
The lives of Tsubagakure's old
and young rest in those eyes of yours!
**[18:00] ---**
I do not understand...
**[18:02] ---**
Why do you bear such hatred for the Kouga?!
**[18:14] ---**
I cannot blame you.
**[18:16] ---**
You know nothing.
**[18:19] ---**
Not even about the Kouga's
actions when Oda invaded Iga...
**[18:37] ---**
The Kouga's actions?
**[18:40] ---**
Ogen-*sama* strictly forbade us
from discussing it in your presence.
**[18:48] ---**
Yes, though we do not know why...
**[18:51] ---**
What does the Tenshou battle
have to do with the Kouga?
**[18:56] ---**
Very much.
**[18:58] ---**
The Kouga gladly used Oda's surprise attack
**[19:02] ---**
to hunt down and kill the fleeing Iga...
**[19:08] ---**
They claim they were framed, though...
**[19:11] ---**
An ever deeper grudge between
the clans has existed ever since.
**[19:18] ---**
If it were not for the first Hanzo-*dono*'s
truce, they'd long be dead...
**[19:25] ---**
B-But Gennosuke-*sama* and
the others aren't to blame for that!
**[19:29] ---**
Now we have--
**[19:30] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[19:32] ---**
What kind of descendant--
what kind of leader,
**[19:36] ---**
doesn't settle an ancestor's grudge?!
**[19:40] ---**
On that day, Ogen-*sama* was
nearly killed by Kouga Danjo,
**[19:44] ---**
who had conned the Iga.
**[19:48] ---**
And this time she *was* killed by
Gennosuke's grandfather, Danjo!
**[19:55] ---**
That is the truth.
This grudge cannot be wiped away!
**[20:00] ---**
And there is no backing down now!
**[20:04] ---**
Casting yourself into this
bloody war of your own volition
**[20:10] ---**
would be the best memorial for
those who died sad, violent deaths.
**[20:16] ---**
Your grandmother would be elated!
**[20:22] ---**
Give me... some time.
**[20:35] ---**
Hey now, Tenzen...
**[21:00] ---**
Grandmother!
**[21:19] ---**
H-Hey, look at Saemon's clothing!
**[21:23] ---**
I don't see Okoi...
**[21:25] ---**
Where's Josuke-*dono*?
**[21:43] ---**
Please tell us your decision.
**[21:53] ---**
W-What is that jar?
**[22:01] ---**
Pardon me!
**[22:31] ---**
*Melting away in the melody
you whisper in the twilight*
**[22:52] ---**
*I sense eternity
in our attracting eyes*
**[23:02] ---**
*and life sprouts silently*
**[23:14] ---**
*The dew of emotions that dances
and flutters about in the spring wind*
**[23:26] ---**
*is a crumbling butterfly dream
that wildly disturbs the path of the stars*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next Time"

**[00:19] ---**
*There were people who loathed one another.*
**[00:24] ---**
*Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...*
**[00:31] ---**
*And their bonds were broken by blades...*
**[00:50] ---**
*Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...*
**[00:56] ---**
*"My beloved, please die..."*
**[01:03] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:34] ---**
*Clouds shroud a night with a waning
moon quivering in the haze*
**[01:45] ---**
*A cruel trap involving
a pair of crucified fledglings*
**[01:55] ---**
*Oh, since smoldering feelings
lie firmly in their hearts...*
**[02:07] ---**
*destruction!*
**[02:08] ---**
*Gently as the water, severely as a flower*
**[02:14] ---**
*pierce with a trembling blade*
**[02:18] ---**
*Even when I shut the fated
tears deep within my eyes*
**[02:24] ---**
*my eyelids still remember you*
**[02:42] ---**
"Divine Ancestral Mandate"
**[02:47] ---**
"Sunpu Castle"
**[02:59] ---**
So the Iga are leading, nine to six?
**[03:03] ---**
Yes...
**[03:03] ---**
Yes.
**[03:04] ---**
So four of the Kouga have
already been slain...
**[03:12] ---**
"Hattori Kyohachiro"
**[03:13] ---**
The first to disturb the dew
were the leaders of both sides...
**[03:17] ---**
...Kouga Danjo and Iga-no-Ogen.
**[03:20] ---**
They killed each other by the
Abekawa River outside the castle.
**[03:26] ---**
Right after they left...
**[03:30] ---**
What of their remains? Surely--
**[03:33] ---**
Yes, well...
**[03:35] ---**
After their deaths, they were both...
**[03:47] ---**
...so I left them as they were.
**[03:51] ---**
I see.
**[03:53] ---**
Still...
**[03:55] ---**
The Iga Tsubagakure Group,
which bears the fate of Takechiyo-*gimi*,
**[03:58] ---**
has the upper hand...
**[04:01] ---**
A mere two days have passed
since the nullification of the pact.
**[04:05] ---**
This may well end sooner than anticipated...
**[04:09] ---**
Mataemon-*dono*.
**[04:11] ---**
There is still no telling
how things will play out.
**[04:15] ---**
This is not a war between ordinary people...
**[04:19] ---**
Yes...
**[04:21] ---**
Those people truly were demons...
**[04:41] ---**
Don't worry...
**[04:45] ---**
It'll only hurt...
**[04:47] ---**
...for a second!
**[05:03] ---**
I'll kill you...
**[05:05] ---**
...Kouga scum!
**[05:07] ---**
To think I'd ever see
eye-to-eye with Iga trash!
**[05:47] ---**
Simply thinking about it gives me chills...
**[05:50] ---**
Ordinary sword fighting
would be child's play to them.
**[05:56] ---**
Tell me, who were the first ones
to fight to mourn their lost leaders?
**[06:03] ---**
Right. A large man who
looked very unlike a *shinobi*,
**[06:07] ---**
and a hunched-over old man.
**[06:10] ---**
My word...
**[06:12] ---**
However, neither was aware
the pact had been nullified
**[06:15] ---**
or that Danjo and Ogen were dead.
**[06:21] ---**
They called it a game.
**[06:23] ---**
Don't write me off as some tub of lard!
**[06:33] ---**
Time to learn that even games
can end with fatal results, Josuke!
**[06:37] ---**
The truce between Iga and Kouga
disgusts me to no end!
**[06:47] ---**
What are you, a windbag?!
**[06:49] ---**
You spineless freak!
**[06:52] ---**
Hey, stretchy old geezer!
**[06:54] ---**
Who're you calling a spineless freak?!
**[07:07] ---**
Got you!
**[07:16] ---**
Seems you have more of a spine
than meets the eye, old man.
**[07:20] ---**
It is proving rather
difficult to break yours as well.
**[07:24] ---**
--Here I come!
**[07:24] ---**
--Here I come!
**[07:36] ---**
A-An old man who can
freely stretch his limbs?
**[07:39] ---**
So, how did it end?
**[07:41] ---**
They were stopped by Danjo's
grandson who was for some reason
**[07:44] ---**
with a Tsubagakure in the mountains
at the Kouga-Iga border.
**[07:49] ---**
They called it a game, but left unchecked,
one *would* have died...
**[07:55] ---**
This fight over succession...
**[07:59] ---**
To these two clans, who have
long-held grudges with one another,
**[08:04] ---**
it has become an unparalleled
chance for a justification for war!
**[08:37] ---**
Hotarubi! Koshiro's sickle!
**[08:44] ---**
What?!
**[08:46] ---**
Jimushi...
**[08:48] ---**
...Jyubei!
**[08:50] ---**
Why can't we catch up?!
**[08:58] ---**
I suggest you release
the scroll in your mouth...
**[09:03] ---**
Otherwise...
**[09:07] ---**
...you cannot expel
the spearhead in your throat.
**[09:11] ---**
Isn't that right...
**[09:14] ---**
...Jimushi!
**[09:19] ---**
Tenzen!
**[09:23] ---**
There is no need for two of the same scroll.
**[09:35] ---**
The Kouga scroll was burned?
**[09:39] ---**
Yes.
**[09:39] ---**
So the fact that the one
carrying it was killed
**[09:43] ---**
means the Kouga still do
not know the war has begun?
**[09:47] ---**
That is correct.
**[09:50] ---**
Then that would explain why the Kouga
failed to take the initiative.
**[09:55] ---**
They do not know that the
anti-war pact was nullified.
**[09:58] ---**
But that means...
**[10:00] ---**
You do not appear happy, Mataemon-*dono*.
**[10:04] ---**
Quick thinking and scheming
are the very essence of war.
**[10:10] ---**
Moreover, they are not warriors.
**[10:14] ---**
They are diehard spies.
**[10:27] ---**
Damn it!
**[10:29] ---**
*Where are you?!*
**[10:38] ---**
*Udono Josuke is slain...*
**[10:44] ---**
*What's going on?!*
**[10:46] ---**
That was a close one!
**[10:48] ---**
You're horrible, Akeginu!
**[10:51] ---**
What if I had died?
**[10:55] ---**
--Water!
**[10:56] ---**
--Now talk, Amayo!
**[10:58] ---**
Why would you try to kill Gennosuke-*sama*
**[11:01] ---**
when the Kouga and Iga
are on the verge of peace?!
**[11:06] ---**
T-The Hattori family's... anti-war pact...
**[11:11] ---**
...has been annulled...
**[11:14] ---**
What?! The Hattori family's pact?!
**[11:16] ---**
And?!
**[11:18] ---**
In short, the Iga... and Kouga...
**[11:24] ---**
The Iga and Kouga?!
**[11:28] ---**
The Kouga and Iga are what?!
**[11:30] ---**
Having a *ninpou* war!
**[11:33] ---**
I let my guard down!
**[11:37] ---**
W-What are you doing, Rosai?!
**[11:44] ---**
What is it?! What's going on?!
**[11:47] ---**
The wall spoke!
**[11:51] ---**
T-The wall!
**[11:53] ---**
Come out!
**[11:56] ---**
Intruders!
**[12:02] ---**
It's over! Strike them down!
**[12:29] ---**
Iga clansmen. Have you gone mad?!
**[12:33] ---**
You Kouga are the mad ones.
**[12:38] ---**
That was quite the welcome you gave us.
**[12:43] ---**
I simply ordered the
capture of suspicious men.
**[12:52] ---**
It's very clear how
the Kouga do things now!
**[12:56] ---**
Should you ever be mad enough to
visit Iga Tsubagakure in the future,
**[13:02] ---**
know now that you'll be
as warmly treated as we were here!
**[13:08] ---**
That is the extent of what I have witnessed.
**[13:12] ---**
I have arranged for my men to
send word of any new developments.
**[13:18] ---**
The war is most likely becoming
even more ferocious as we speak...
**[13:22] ---**
Speaking of ferocious...
**[13:24] ---**
The women's war in Edo is becoming
more ferocious all the time...
**[13:38] ---**
2nd-generation shogun Hidetada-*sama*'s
eldest son Takechiyo-*sama*
**[13:42] ---**
is backed by his wet nurse, Ofuku-*dono*...
**[13:47] ---**
And the younger brother, Kunichiyo-*sama*,
**[13:50] ---**
is backed by the shogun's consort, Lady Oeyo.
**[13:56] ---**
Moreover, they have
conflicting backgrounds...
**[14:01] ---**
The war is already a disease,
as they involve guardians and statesmen
**[14:09] ---**
to further their deep-rooted antagonism.
**[14:13] ---**
Last winter, someone made
an attempt on Ofuku-*dono*'s life,
**[14:18] ---**
Kunichiyo-*gimi* was
attacked at night not long after,
**[14:22] ---**
and just recently,
Takechiyo-gimi's *tisane* was poisoned,
**[14:26] ---**
but without care for her own safety,
Ofuku-*dono* sucked it out
**[14:34] ---**
with not a moment to spare...
**[14:37] ---**
These uproars know no end.
What will become of Edo?
**[14:43] ---**
Worry not.
**[14:45] ---**
I understand the dice I have thrown.
**[14:48] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[14:49] ---**
Measures have been made in Edo, as well.
**[14:51] ---**
By which you mean?
**[14:53] ---**
I sent Tenkai in.
**[14:55] ---**
As men are forbidden to enter
the inner palace, I found a priest
**[15:01] ---**
and placed him among the
women to lay down the law.
**[15:04] ---**
So, let us wait until
the ninja war is concluded.
**[15:27] ---**
What is it, Kyohachiro?
**[15:29] ---**
Don't tell me the war is already over?
**[15:32] ---**
N-No...
**[15:34] ---**
The war has changed its
location to Iga Tsubagakure...
**[15:39] ---**
There is some conjecture in
here that I cannot verify, but...
**[15:54] ---**
Halt!
**[16:03] ---**
Got him!
**[16:19] ---**
There you are!
**[16:27] ---**
*Must be one of the Ten!*
**[16:29] ---**
*A return gift will save some face for me!*
**[16:48] ---**
Speak obediently...
**[16:55] ---**
M-My hand won't come off!
**[16:59] ---**
W-Wench!
**[17:15] ---**
D-Damn you!
**[17:36] ---**
Take *this* to your grave!
**[17:46] ---**
A Kouga girl has been captured?
**[17:49] ---**
What?!
**[17:54] ---**
Damn you!
**[18:07] ---**
I must say, you impress me, Kouga girl...
**[18:10] ---**
But this is the end!
**[18:18] ---**
W-Why you!
**[18:21] ---**
*I need to find more skin!*
**[18:26] ---**
What?!
**[18:37] ---**
Tried some trickery, did you?
**[18:39] ---**
Do not make light of me, girl!
**[18:47] ---**
Such ominous intensity...
**[18:51] ---**
Kyohachiro.
**[18:52] ---**
Yes.
**[20:01] ---**
Koshiro! Please don't kill Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[20:36] ---**
At present, of the ten for each side,
**[20:40] ---**
the Iga group has seven survivors,
**[20:43] ---**
and the Kouga has five.
**[20:45] ---**
In regard to the anti-war
pact's nullification,
**[20:48] ---**
the Kouga now know.
**[20:53] ---**
Now then, I will take my leave...
**[20:56] ---**
Where are you going?
**[20:58] ---**
I assigned my men to watch
for me henceforth, but...
**[21:03] ---**
...you now wish to view for yourself?
**[21:06] ---**
Yes.
**[21:12] ---**
Very well.
**[21:22] ---**
By your leave.
**[21:35] ---**
Iga Tsubagakure...
**[21:38] ---**
Kouga Manjidani...
**[21:42] ---**
Those elite twenty...
**[21:50] ---**
They might have been
useful for the attack on Ozaka...
**[22:31] ---**
*The mist of sorrow softly touches
these lips blotted with red droplets*
**[22:42] ---**
*The mirror in the sky beautifully
illuminates the distance in the night*
**[22:53] ---**
*Giving more than a passing thought
to the myriad of showering stars*
**[22:59] ---**
*gently, the cords of a deep
bond firmly, firmly bind them*
**[23:08] ---**
*Those beautiful eyes that
sparkle with a lazuline hue...*
**[23:14] ---**
*Even if they wind up closed
by a harbinger from the darkness,*
**[23:20] ---**
*since no one can steal
the bridge of connected dreams*
**[23:28] ---**
*they still reflect the limitless tomorrow*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next Time"
**[23:51] ---**
*Alert eyes are shut, together with hope.*
**[23:54] ---**
*An honest spirit wriggles
between affection and suspicion.*
**[23:57] ---**
*When the "light of death"
shines in the abyss,*
**[24:01] ---**
*the howls of death throes will blame
and torment the wandering heart.*
**[24:05] ---**
*The five Kouga. The seven Iga.*
**[24:07] ---**
*A deadly ninpou war trip on the Tokaido Road.*
**[24:11] ---**

"Helpless Pebbles"
**[03:10] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama was* being
deceived by Iga-no-Oboro after all!
**[03:17] ---**
Oboro is Ogen's granddaughter...
**[03:19] ---**
and now the leader of the group.
**[03:23] ---**
Even her subordinates realized
the situation, so she must have.
**[03:28] ---**
That is no doubt why she invited
Gennosuke-*sama* to Tsubagakure!
**[03:34] ---**
You may be right.
**[03:37] ---**
However, at this point in time,
she is not a serious concern.
**[03:44] ---**
My hunch is that the first
one to receive the news...
**[03:50] ---**
...was most likely Yakushiji Tenzen,
and that he made careful plans.
**[03:54] ---**
Hyoma-*dono*! Oboro is no longer
betrothed to Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[04:00] ---**
It is ungainly to defend her!
**[04:02] ---**
She deceived him!
**[04:04] ---**
Oboro took advantage of
Gennosuke-*sama*'s desire for peace!
**[04:09] ---**
Kagero, if Oboro is the Tsubagakure leader,
**[04:13] ---**
then Gennosuke-*sama* is
the Kouga Manjidani leader.
**[04:18] ---**
You mock our leader with your objections.
**[04:24] ---**
Who cares what Oboro's intentions are?!
**[04:27] ---**
It's finally come... This
day has finally come!
**[04:31] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*! Let us hurry back at once!
**[04:35] ---**
Your *Dojutsu* has them
scared out of their wits!
**[04:38] ---**
We should use this chance to crush them!
**[04:42] ---**
Please say something, Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[04:56] ---**
Saemon...
**[04:59] ---**
Bring me a brush and an inkstone.
**[05:01] ---**
Right!
**[05:04] ---**
About Okoi...
**[05:07] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[05:10] ---**
She was a Kouga *shinobi*.
**[05:15] ---**
Just as we are...
**[05:22] ---**
A person is a person...
**[05:26] ---**
Whether a Kouga or an Iga,
a person is a person...
**[05:32] ---**
We must break the shackles of this
grudge and open our clouded eyes.
**[05:38] ---**
Even one Iga would be enough.
**[05:41] ---**
Getting close comes first.
**[05:45] ---**
That is what I had planned to tell
everyone again upon my return here...
**[06:06] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[06:08] ---**
What did you do to your eyes?!
**[06:15] ---**
Grandmother told me one day...
**[06:23] ---**
Oboro, that's enough.
**[06:28] ---**
Do not worry about it.
**[06:30] ---**
I know more than anyone
how much effort you have given.
**[06:40] ---**
Please forgive me.
**[06:42] ---**
Despite being daughter of
the Tsubagakure leader...
**[06:45] ---**
Yes, you have not
mastered even a single skill...
**[06:53] ---**
Such an inept child...
**[06:56] ---**
However...
**[07:00] ---**
...you were born with eyes
that possess a strange power.
**[07:07] ---**
It is not *ninpou*...
**[07:09] ---**
That is why I fear them so...
**[07:19] ---**
Those eyes of yours...
**[07:21] ---**
I cannot help but feel they
will be the cause of a calamity
**[07:28] ---**
that destroys our Tsubagakure's *ninpou*
**[07:31] ---**
from within and drives the clan to ruin.
**[07:36] ---**
Should such a day ever come...
**[07:39] ---**
...apply this *yamishichiyo
*potion on your eyelids...
**[07:44] ---**
*Yamishichiyo*?
**[07:47] ---**
Do so, and your eyes...
**[07:54] ---**
...will remain sealed for
seven days and seven nights.
**[07:59] ---**
Your own eyes?!
**[08:01] ---**
Sealing your eyes, of all things...
**[08:05] ---**
You've not heard a word we said!
**[08:09] ---**
I, too, am an Iga woman...
**[08:11] ---**
I fully understand what
you're saying, Tenzen.
**[08:15] ---**
Including the fact that I can say
nothing to change your mind...
**[08:19] ---**
So many Tsubagakure people
were killed, but...
**[08:23] ---**
But... I cannot fight Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[08:29] ---**
Not only that,
**[08:31] ---**
I may find myself having
to break your techniques!
**[08:44] ---**
That fact...
**[08:46] ---**
...terrifies me!
**[08:49] ---**
*Such nonsense!*
**[08:53] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[08:58] ---**
What is it?!
**[08:59] ---**
This was at the gate!
**[09:11] ---**
To think they would return
the roster to us...
**[09:15] ---**
Has Gennosuke gone mad?
**[09:19] ---**
No, look at Koshiro's name...
**[09:22] ---**
It is not marked off.
**[09:24] ---**
Bastard...
**[09:26] ---**
Even with those injuries,
**[09:28] ---**
he knew Koshiro wouldn't die...
**[09:32] ---**
He hasn't gone mad, he's very cool-headed.
**[09:36] ---**
Then why?!
**[09:37] ---**
Why would he return the document
that is vital to winning?!
**[09:44] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*, what is that letter?
**[09:48] ---**
'Tis a letter of challenge from Gennosuke.
**[09:52] ---**
What?!
**[09:56] ---**
*The anti-war pact negotiated
by the Hattori house has been nullified.*
**[10:01] ---**
*But I do not wish to fight,
nor do I know the reason for fighting.*
**[10:08] ---**
*Therefore, I intend to visit Sunpu at once*
**[10:11] ---**
*to appeal to the retired
shogun and Hattori-dono.*
**[10:16] ---**
*It is for that reason I return the roster.*
**[10:20] ---**
*I take with me the following people:*
**[10:22] ---**
*Kasumi Gyobu, Kisaragi Saemon,
Muroga Hyoma, and Kagero.*
**[10:29] ---**
*As such, if you are thinking
of coming to the Kouga valley,*
**[10:32] ---**
*we will already be on the Tokaido Road.*
**[10:36] ---**
*Should you be mad enough
to bring harm to any Kouga,*
**[10:39] ---**
*know now that the heavenly
mandate of destruction*
**[10:43] ---**
*will fall upon the Iga once more.*
**[10:46] ---**
*I do not wish to fight, but neither
will I avoid any attack from you.*
**[10:53] ---**
*Seven of you still remain.*
**[10:56] ---**
*Should the trip to the gates of
Sunpu become a war to the death*
**[11:00] ---**
*between the five Kouga
and the seven Iga, then so be it.*
**[11:06] ---**
*If you do not fear me,
then you will raise your whips*
**[11:11] ---**
*and come to the Tokaido Road at once!*
**[11:14] ---**
"Kouga Gennosuke"
**[11:17] ---**
Tenzen!
**[11:21] ---**
We make chase! At once!
**[11:25] ---**
"...the seven Iga..."
**[11:28] ---**
*The seven Iga...*
**[11:30] ---**
Nenki. Hotarubi. Go locate
the Kouga party and report back!
**[11:35] ---**
Understood!
**[11:36] ---**
Do not...
**[11:38] ---**
Do *not* force things. Is that clear?
**[11:42] ---**
I know.
**[11:44] ---**
Oboro-*sama*, I will go make the preparations.
**[12:28] ---**
No one follows.
**[12:31] ---**
You're certainly cautious, Hyoma.
**[12:33] ---**
The Iga would never cross
through the Kouga valley to chase us.
**[12:37] ---**
Agreed. They would likely
take the route through Iga.
**[12:42] ---**
The journey to Sunpu will be long.
**[12:44] ---**
Where will we cross paths, I wonder?
**[12:47] ---**
You're being too soft.
Wars are won by the first to move.
**[12:51] ---**
Hyoma, why did Gennosuke-*sama
*return the roster to the Iga?
**[12:57] ---**
We're going to Sunpu to
ask the reason for the war?
**[12:59] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[13:01] ---**
What reason do you need
to fight your enemies of 400 years
**[13:05] ---**
and your parents' murderers?!
**[13:09] ---**
Had I not been a kid back then...
**[13:14] ---**
*Now* is the time to attain my ambition!
**[13:17] ---**
The reason Gennosuke-*sama
*returned the roster was
**[13:21] ---**
because he was certain they
would make chase after receiving it.
**[13:25] ---**
You mean his challenge?
**[13:27] ---**
There is no Iga in this world
who would not chase us after reading it.
**[13:32] ---**
If we slay the entire Iga group
and take it back at the end...
**[13:37] ---**
...I doubt you will have qualms with that.
**[13:40] ---**
But will Gennosuke-*sama* have
the resolve to slay Iga-no-Oboro?
**[14:05] ---**
Gyobu!
**[14:06] ---**
Wait, Gyobu!
**[14:08] ---**
I'll see you later, Hyoma!
**[14:59] ---**
*That damn Tenzen, trying to belittle me!*
**[15:10] ---**
"Sekiyado"
**[15:10] ---**
That bastard Gyobu ran off ahead...
**[15:14] ---**
As a result, Gennosuke-*sama
*really gave me a talking to.
**[15:18] ---**
As if he's one to talk,
with his feigned ignorance.
**[15:22] ---**
Making the Iga think he has gone ahead
**[15:25] ---**
and then circling back
around *is* one method...
**[15:29] ---**
But a carefully planned
strategy is most needed.
**[15:34] ---**
But a man of Gyobu's caliber should--
**[15:37] ---**
He has his own grudge
of having his parents killed...
**[15:41] ---**
As such, I fear he may act rashly...
**[15:45] ---**
Oh, my apologies.
**[15:48] ---**
You and Gyobu are of quite
different temperaments, so...
**[15:52] ---**
That's not it.
**[15:54] ---**
There is one other I am worried about...
**[15:57] ---**
Kagero?
**[15:59] ---**
Yes...
**[16:01] ---**
She is deeply in love with Gennosuke-*sama*.
**[16:04] ---**
After his engagement
to Iga-no-Oboro was announced,
**[16:07] ---**
she bottled her feelings up even more,
**[16:10] ---**
and now her womanly scent is so
strong she isn't aware of it herself.
**[16:17] ---**
I hear the same was the
case with her mother...
**[16:21] ---**
At the height of ecstasy, her blissful
cries become the breath of death...
**[16:26] ---**
...and poison the man until he perishes.
**[16:32] ---**
Surely she keeps that in mind.
**[16:35] ---**
She bears the burden of a difficult fate...
**[16:38] ---**
But...
**[16:39] ---**
when things turn bad,
women are frightening...
**[17:06] ---**
Who's there?
**[17:13] ---**
What is it?
**[17:15] ---**
Will we be taking a boat
out of Kuwana tomorrow?
**[17:20] ---**
The sky will decide.
**[17:22] ---**
Going by land on the
Sayaji Path may be safer.
**[17:27] ---**
Is that all you wanted?
Then you should sleep...
**[17:30] ---**
What were you thinking about?
**[17:34] ---**
Is it not obvious?
**[17:36] ---**
Iga Oboro, then?
**[17:41] ---**
Before Danjo-*sama* left for Sunpu,
he said something to me...
**[17:47] ---**
That it was about time
to find someone for her.
**[17:51] ---**
Just how many men will die
before the woman's child is born?
**[17:59] ---**
I hear there is no end to the men
who would gladly take that risk...
**[18:04] ---**
Yes, she *is* a beautiful woman...
**[18:08] ---**
Which makes her all the more frightening...
**[18:12] ---**
K-Kagero?!
**[18:14] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[18:17] ---**
Please hold me!
**[18:27] ---**
Look, Kagero!
**[18:37] ---**
Kagero... Why...
**[18:40] ---**
I want to die... together with you!
**[18:44] ---**
Don't be a fool!
**[18:46] ---**
If you want to die, wait until after
we've slain the Iga on the roster!
**[18:51] ---**
The Iga...
**[18:53] ---**
That's right...
**[18:55] ---**
I cannot kill women with my techniques...
**[18:59] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[19:02] ---**
Are you going to slay Oboro?
**[19:11] ---**
I am...
**[19:15] ---**
Then I will take care of the Iga men.
**[19:21] ---**
I can destroy all the men on my own...
**[19:30] ---**
*Poison!*
**[19:34] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[19:35] ---**
Saemon!
**[19:37] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[19:41] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[19:45] ---**
It would seem my eyes have been sealed...
**[19:49] ---**
What?!
**[19:55] ---**
That was surprisingly easy, Hotarubi...
**[19:58] ---**
Yes...
**[20:00] ---**
I do not see Kasumi Gyobu!
**[20:03] ---**
He's plotting to sneak attack
Oboro-*sama*'s group on their way here!
**[20:10] ---**
Hotarubi, hurry back to them
and warn them to stay alert!
**[20:17] ---**
What about them?
**[20:18] ---**
Leave them to me!
**[20:25] ---**
Understood.
**[20:35] ---**
*Now, to finish things here and knock
the wind out of Tenzen's sails!*
**[20:43] ---**
An Iga, yes?
**[20:56] ---**
I am the man who will slay you two!
**[20:59] ---**
Can you see me, Gennosuke?!
I doubt *you* can, Hyoma!
**[21:04] ---**
Now then! Whose neck shall I break first?!
**[21:09] ---**
Look, Hyoma.
**[21:12] ---**
Have you gone mad, Gennosuke?!
**[21:14] ---**
Asking the blind Hyoma
to see... What a laugh!
**[21:17] ---**
You almighty fool!
**[21:29] ---**
D-Damn you!
**[22:07] ---**
I...
**[22:31] ---**
*Melting away in the melody
you whisper in the twilight*
**[22:52] ---**
*I sense eternity
in our attracting eyes*
**[23:02] ---**
*and life sprouts silently*
**[23:14] ---**
*The dew of emotions that dances
and flutters about in the spring wind*

That girl!
**[03:23] ---**
She's wounded! I can handle her alone!
**[03:26] ---**
But...
**[03:27] ---**
Shouldn't you be apologizing
to Gennosuke-sama about something?
**[04:00] ---**
Yashamaru? Oh...
**[04:06] ---**
You're unsightly, Hotarubi.
**[04:09] ---**
Kisaragi... Saemon!
**[04:51] ---**
Ooh, it's cold...
**[04:54] ---**
The long rains of spring
really work into my bones...
**[04:58] ---**
Do you suppose Nenki-dono
and Hotarubi have located the Kouga?
**[05:05] ---**
I only hope they haven't
dug their own graves...
**[05:10] ---**
Had we only slaughtered
Gennosuke when we had the chance...
**[05:19] ---**
I guess we just have a
poor excuse for a leader...
**[05:26] ---**
After all, Oboro-sama is...
**[05:33] ---**
Oh, I mean...

Ooh, it's cold...

Oboro-dono?
**[06:24] ---**
I've been wanting to apologize
to you, Gennosuke-sama...
**[06:31] ---**
Long before I saw you
at the marriage meeting,
**[06:35] ---**
I had already decided in my heart...
**[06:41] ---**
...that if you would accept me...
**[06:51] ---**
...then I would be yours,
no matter what you were like...
**[06:59] ---**
Your eyes...
**[07:02] ---**
When I met these eyes...
**[07:06] ---**
...I felt I'd finally met the one.
**[07:14] ---**
Gennosuke-sama...
**[07:18] ---**
I know that sounds presumptuous
for a novice like me, but...
**[07:24] ---**
I... feel the same...
**[07:37] ---**
Oboro-dono...
**[07:45] ---**
The harsh winter is ending at last...
**[07:50] ---**
How long I have looked
forward to this season!
**[08:51] ---**
I've been had!
**[09:18] ---**
Don't call me that in those clothes!
You sicken me!
**[10:19] ---**
Saemon-dono!
**[10:38] ---**
What happened with Hotarubi?
**[10:42] ---**
Saemon?
**[10:44] ---**
Yes... I was fooled by decoy butterflies...
**[10:48] ---**
Where did the butterflies head?
**[10:51] ---**
East.
**[10:52] ---**
Then... this Hotarubi likely ran west.
**[10:58] ---**
Probably for Suzukagoe.
**[11:14] ---**
Saemon-dono?
**[12:58] ---**
Back then...
**[13:01] ---**
Even if the princess had
not stepped between us,
**[13:05] ---**
I still would have lost to those eyes...
**[13:10] ---**
Is he man? Or demon?
**[13:30] ---**
Who's... there?!
**[13:36] ---**
There is something behind me...
**[13:40] ---**
Who's there? Who's there?!
**[13:44] ---**
Who's there?!
**[14:01] ---**
Who's there?! Who's there?!
**[14:10] ---**
K-Koshiro-dono...
**[14:25] ---**
Koshiro-dono...
**[14:32] ---**
Koshiro-dono!
**[14:39] ---**
How pathetic...
**[14:43] ---**
How truly pathetic...
**[15:43] ---**
Hotarubi! Hotarubi!
**[15:45] ---**
The trip to Sunpu! The old
woman chose me to go with her!
**[15:51] ---**
Yeah, she's got keen sense!
I guess she still hasn't gone senile yet!
**[15:57] ---**
But don't tell anyone I said that!
**[16:00] ---**
I won't!
**[16:02] ---**
I know, I'll buy you a souvenir!
**[16:05] ---**
What would you like? A ruridama hairpin?
**[16:08] ---**
Maybe a fancy sash clip?
**[16:12] ---**
Don't be silly, I'm a shinobi...
**[16:15] ---**
Come on! You'll have no charm
if all you do is ninjutsu practice!
**[16:20] ---**
You should be more like
Oboro-sama sometimes!
**[16:26] ---**
Hey, Hotarubi!
**[16:29] ---**
I...
**[16:38] ---**
It's times like this when I feel
the anti-war pact isn't all that bad...
**[16:45] ---**
Yashamaru-dono...
**[16:48] ---**
I don't want to see your
hands stained in blood...
**[16:56] ---**
He'll pay...
**[17:41] ---**
We should go back...
**[17:45] ---**
But we should return separately.
**[17:47] ---**
Oh...
**[18:00] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[18:06] ---**
No...
**[18:10] ---**
Koshiro-dono... what do you think?
**[18:14] ---**
It's Oboro-sama.
**[18:19] ---**
Kouga Gennosuke wishes to part
with the Iga... no,
**[18:22] ---**
with Oboro-sama.
**[18:25] ---**
But Oboro-sama doesn't...
**[18:32] ---**
We must get Oboro-sama to
sever her longing for Gennosuke...
**[18:40] ---**
This is the consensus of the Iga...
**[18:45] ---**
...and my own feeling as a woman.
**[18:52] ---**
I'll continue to pity her
if something isn't done...
**[18:56] ---**
We need to make her forget
about Kouga Gennosuke...
**[19:00] ---**
Assuming that is even possible...
**[19:04] ---**
I thought I had seen all of
the princess's facial expressions.
**[19:10] ---**
Her smiling face,
her crying face... All of them...
**[19:19] ---**
But, whenever she is
with Gennosuke, her face is...
**[19:33] ---**
That face...
**[19:40] ---**
Koshiro-dono...
**[19:44] ---**
Thanks to this, I'll never have to see it...
**[19:46] ---**
Eh?
**[19:48] ---**
The sight of the princess
being soaked in the rain...
**[20:23] ---**
Akeginu?
**[20:26] ---**
Oboro-sama!
**[20:31] ---**
What happened? You're all wet...
**[20:35] ---**
Akeginu?
**[20:36] ---**
No...
**[20:38] ---**
More importantly,
Oboro-sama, you need your rest.
**[20:43] ---**
Please don't go anywhere...
**[20:45] ---**
Eh?
**[20:46] ---**
I don't want to lose anyone else! Please...
**[21:06] ---**
Gennosuke-sama...
**[21:15] ---**
Oboro-dono...
**[21:52] ---**
Whew... I finally caught up...
**[21:56] ---**
Nenki-dono!
**[21:59] ---**
Wonderful news, Hotarubi...
**[22:03] ---**
I have slain Gennosuke and the rest!
**[22:32] ---**
Melting away in the melody
you whisper in the twilight
**[22:52] ---**
I sense eternity
in our attracting eyes
**[23:03] ---**
and life sprouts silently
**[23:15] ---**
The dew of emotions that dances
and flutters about in the spring wind*
**[23:27] ---**
is a crumbling butterfly dream
that wildly disturbs the path of the stars
**[23:47] ---**
"Next Time"
**[23:50] ---**
A westward race against time.
**[23:53] ---**
Stealing up from behind the immobile
one is an ever-changing foe.
**[23:57] ---**
Into the depths of a silence
soaked by sprinkling rain
**[23:59] ---**
falls a young love that
embraces the illusion.
**[24:03] ---**
Around and around, the tragedy goes.
**[24:06] ---**
Calling it fate would be far too cruel,
this hellish journey.
**[24:11] ---**
On the next Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:

"Wild Dance of Butterflies."

*There were people who loathed one another.*
**[00:24] ---**
*Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...*
**[00:31] ---**
*And their bonds were broken by blades...*
**[00:50] ---**
*Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...*
**[00:56] ---**
*"My beloved, please die..."*
**[01:03] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:34] ---**
*Clouds shroud a night with a waning
moon quivering in the haze*
**[01:45] ---**
*A cruel trap involving
a pair of crucified fledglings*
**[01:56] ---**
*Oh, since smoldering feelings
lie firmly in their hearts...*
**[02:07] ---**
*...destruction!*
**[02:08] ---**
*Gently as the water, severely as a flower*
**[02:14] ---**
*pierce with a trembling blade*
**[02:18] ---**
*Even when I shut the fated
tears deep within my eyes*
**[02:25] ---**

**[02:42] ---**
"Wild Dance of Butterflies"
**[02:47] ---**
"Sekiyado"
**[03:02] ---**
That will do, Kagero.
**[03:16] ---**
What will you do now, Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[03:22] ---**
Surely you cannot journey to
Sunpu with your eyes as such.
**[03:25] ---**
The purpose of this outing is to
determine the retired shogun's intent.
**[03:29] ---**
We cannot turn back until
we've accomplished that.
**[03:41] ---**
An attack by the Iga was not unexpected.
**[03:45] ---**
We will never reach
Sunpu if we shy away so easily.
**[03:54] ---**
I apologize for my needless worries.
**[03:59] ---**
We leave the minute
Saemon returns. Let us prepare.
**[04:07] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[04:19] ---**
*I only hope my worries truly are needless...*
**[04:29] ---**
*There is no turning back from
this blood-soaked, hellish journey...*
**[04:50] ---**
Nenki-*dono*! What did you just say?!
**[04:53] ---**
I said I have wonderful news!
**[04:56] ---**
I've slain Gennosuke
and the others with my own hands!
**[05:06] ---**
Kouga Gennosuke?
**[05:08] ---**
He was unable to use his *Dojutsu*...
**[05:11] ---**
And Muroga Hyoma?
**[05:12] ---**
It goes without saying that
cutting that blind *shinobi*
**[05:16] ---**
was easier than cutting a daikon radish!
**[05:20] ---**
While I was at it, I also took care
of the Kagero girl who scurried off
**[05:25] ---**
while covered in your butterflies.
**[05:28] ---**
That only leaves...
**[05:38] ---**
Then what about Kisaragi Saemon?!
**[05:42] ---**
It's a real pity,
but he managed to get away...
**[05:49] ---**
That isn't like you, Nenki-*dono*!
**[05:52] ---**
Don't be like that.
**[05:55] ---**
So you're still alive, Kisaragi Saemon...
**[05:58] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[06:01] ---**
Kagero confessed to me at death's door...
**[06:05] ---**
Apparently it *was* Kisaragi Saemon
who killed Yashamaru.
**[06:24] ---**
Nenki-*dono*! How could you,
of all people, make such a blunder?!
**[06:28] ---**
Kisaragi Saemon...
**[06:30] ---**
So he really *was* the one
who killed Yashamaru...
**[06:38] ---**
He was the one...
**[06:46] ---**
You, more than anyone,
should have slain Saemon!
**[06:57] ---**
No. This may be...
**[07:04] ---**
This may be divine providence.
**[07:07] ---**
So that *I* can slay Kisaragi Saemon...
**[07:13] ---**
Can you, Hotarubi?
**[07:15] ---**
There's no telling whose
face he might take, you know.
**[07:20] ---**
I will not be deceived,
no matter whom Saemon turns into!
**[07:30] ---**
I will not be deceived!
**[08:14] ---**
To think you would see...
**[08:23] ---**
...through me, Hotarubi!
**[09:26] ---**
Kisaragi... Saemon...
**[09:47] ---**
Ya...
**[09:49] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*...
**[10:13] ---**
Ya...
**[10:16] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*...
**[10:28] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*...
**[11:59] ---**
"Kuwana Port"
**[12:19] ---**
Why do we have to go through
the trouble of taking a boat?!
**[12:27] ---**
Going by sea, of all things...
**[12:30] ---**
Crossing a seven-league sea is deplorable!
**[12:34] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*,
do you hate the ocean that badly?
**[12:38] ---**
Of course I do! Who knows what'll
happen if I fall in the salty ocean?!
**[12:45] ---**
Just thinking about it makes
me shake uncontrollably!
**[12:48] ---**
Quit your fretting, Jingoro.
It's not as if we're swimming across.
**[12:54] ---**
I know that! But I can't
help that I'm afraid of it!
**[13:04] ---**
I don't sense that the Kouga group
has used a boat in this area.
**[13:10] ---**
If they've taken the Saya Pass,
then we should get there first by boat.
**[13:17] ---**
But Tenzen-*sama*... Nenki-*dono
*and Hotarubi have yet to return...
**[13:24] ---**
Should we really be taking this ship?
**[13:27] ---**
We have no time to wait for
people we've lost contact with.
**[13:32] ---**
The fact they have yet to show
themselves indicates just that.
**[14:10] ---**
Ship's leaving now!
**[14:30] ---**
I do not wish to fight,
but neither will I avoid any attack from you.
**[14:37] ---**
Should the trip become a war to the death
**[14:40] ---**
between the five Kouga
and the seven Iga, then so be it.
**[14:46] ---**
*The seven Iga...*
**[14:49] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama counted me as
one of his seven remaining enemies...*
**[14:59] ---**
*He must think that I
knowingly led him into a trap...*
**[15:10] ---**
*I want nothing more than for him
to know that wasn't the case...*
**[15:15] ---**
*And then...*
**[15:23] ---**
Please be careful, Princess.
**[15:25] ---**
Koshiro... You were right by my side!
**[15:36] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[15:39] ---**
Oh, here you are!
**[15:45] ---**
It's dangerous here. Come inside...
**[15:48] ---**
Just a little longer...
**[15:50] ---**
Oboro-*sama*?
**[15:55] ---**
This is my first time sailing...
**[15:57] ---**
May I at least smell the seawater, Akeginu?
**[16:06] ---**
The smell of the sea...
**[16:08] ---**
The sound of the waves...
**[16:11] ---**
The sounds of the seabirds...
**[16:13] ---**
There are so many firsts for me...
**[16:18] ---**
Why am I here, I wonder?
**[17:05] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[17:07] ---**
Thank you!
**[17:08] ---**
That was great! I was spellbound!
**[17:11] ---**
Hey, play us another one!
**[17:13] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:19] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[17:51] ---**
Akeginu.
**[17:52] ---**
Yes?
**[17:53] ---**
Could you take Jingoro
with you to the stern hold?
**[17:57] ---**
The stern hold?
**[17:59] ---**
I'd like to speak with Oboro-*sama* alone.
**[18:02] ---**
Have Koshiro keep guard so
that no one nears the central hold.
**[18:09] ---**
Come, now.
**[18:10] ---**
I'm only going to sit her down,
not make any disturbing advances.
**[18:17] ---**
That sounds fine, but what exactly
are you going to tell Oboro-*sama*?
**[18:22] ---**
We may encounter the Kouga group
when we arrive at Miya Port.
**[18:31] ---**
However, Oboro-*sama*'s heart
does not appear to be in this,
**[18:36] ---**
which makes me feel most uneasy...
**[18:39] ---**
While we are at sea,
I must determine where her devotion lies
**[18:44] ---**
and then have her mend her ways at all costs.
**[18:51] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[18:53] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*.
**[18:55] ---**
What is it?
**[18:57] ---**
If...
**[18:59] ---**
If Oboro-*sama* doesn't
heed what you have to say...
**[19:11] ---**
...what will you do?
**[19:14] ---**
Worry not. Oboro-*sama will* heed me.
**[19:20] ---**
I'm certain of it.
**[19:27] ---**
That was some great flute-playing!
**[19:30] ---**
That's for sure!
Let's treat him to a drink later!
**[19:34] ---**
Oh! Good idea!
**[20:32] ---**
How much further until Miya Port, Akeginu?!
**[20:58] ---**
Who's there?
**[21:02] ---**
Tenzen?
**[21:41] ---**
Tenzen...
Where are Akeginu and the others?
**[21:46] ---**
Akeginu and Jingoro are in the stern hold.
**[21:49] ---**
Why won't they come here?
**[22:02] ---**
Tenzen?!
**[22:03] ---**
I have something I wish to tell you...
**[22:31] ---**
*The mist of sorrow softly touches
these lips blotted with red droplets*
**[22:42] ---**
*The mirror in the sky beautifully
illuminates the distance in the night*
**[22:53] ---**
*Giving more than a passing thought
to the myriad of showering stars*
**[22:59] ---**
*gently, the cords of a deep bond
firmly, firmly bind them*
**[23:08] ---**
*Those beautiful eyes that
sparkle with a lazuline hue...*
**[23:14] ---**
*Even if they wind up closed
by a harbinger from the darkness,*
**[23:20] ---**
*since no one can steal
the bridge of connected dreams*
**[23:28] ---**
*they still reflect the limitless tomorrow*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next Time"
**[23:49] ---**
*Close bonds have turned
to bitter hostilities.*
**[23:52] ---**
*Now, more than ever,
the maiden feels compassion*
**[23:55] ---**
*as she surrenders to secluded remembrances.*
**[23:59] ---**
*Vile hands violate the rules
of master and servant.*
**[24:02] ---**
*Painful screams break
the sounds of the sea*
**[24:05] ---**
*and drive the "one who
conceals" into a frenzy.*
**[24:10] ---**
*On the next Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:*
**[24:13] ---**
*"Strait of Strewn Flowers."*

"Strait of Stewn Flowers"
**[03:04] ---**
What is the matter, Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[03:09] ---**
Someone once said
**[03:14] ---**
the path to peace will open when
the Kouga and Iga know each other.
**[03:21] ---**
However...
**[03:34] ---**
Shedding our blood and exposing
the presumptions in our bones...
**[03:42] ---**
As we are now, there is no better
way to know each other than that...
**[04:14] ---**
When the wind blows on us both...
**[04:17] ---**
When we both carve out a dream...
**[04:25] ---**
There is something that comes to my mind...
**[04:30] ---**
I wonder if you and I might
have been a single spirit long ago...
**[04:40] ---**
I wonder if the spirit was split
and now seeks to regain its true form...
**[04:48] ---**
And that's why I have such
strong feelings for you...
**[04:56] ---**
M-My apologies! I didn't mean to--
**[05:00] ---**
No.
**[05:02] ---**
A spirit split in two *would* come together.
**[05:08] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[05:20] ---**
No matter how many shoals or
generations separated them...
**[05:29] ---**
...they *would* come together.
**[05:49] ---**
Now I understand why you
lowered your eyes last night...
**[05:55] ---**
N-No, that was--
**[06:04] ---**
I apologize... but could
you close your eyes for me?
**[06:08] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[06:37] ---**
Oboro-*sama*.
**[06:46] ---**
What is it, Koshiro?
**[06:50] ---**
Tenzen-*sama* wants to see you.
**[07:15] ---**
You're good at that, Mister!
**[07:30] ---**
W-What is he--
**[07:35] ---**
Hey, son!
**[07:36] ---**
Daddy!
**[07:38] ---**
This guy is really amazing!
**[07:40] ---**
I apologize, Mister!
**[07:43] ---**
C'mon, let's go.
**[07:50] ---**
Wow!
**[07:53] ---**
Thanks!
**[08:01] ---**
I have something I wish to tell you...
**[08:07] ---**
Oboro-*sama*.
**[08:09] ---**
You said you could not fight Kouga Gennosuke.
**[08:14] ---**
Do you still feel that way, even now?
**[08:18] ---**
Even if I wanted to fight,
I can no longer see.
**[08:22] ---**
You are only blind for seven nights.
**[08:26] ---**
And two have already passed.
**[08:30] ---**
In five nights, your eyes will open.
**[08:33] ---**
Then...
**[08:35] ---**
...I shall have Gennosuke-*sama
*slay me during those five days.
**[08:42] ---**
So you still say that...
**[08:46] ---**
You leave me no choice.
**[08:49] ---**
Are you going to kill me, Tenzen?
**[08:52] ---**
No, not kill. Bring you to life!
**[09:01] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[09:03] ---**
I am going to pour the spirit
of life into you! The Iga's spirit!
**[09:11] ---**
T-The Iga's... spirit?
**[09:15] ---**
Oboro-*sama*, be my wife.
**[09:24] ---**
Nonsense!
**[09:30] ---**
No!
**[09:31] ---**
Tenzen! Let go of me, Tenzen!
**[09:34] ---**
If we are to have you
give up Kouga Gennosuke...
**[09:43] ---**
If we are to make you see him as the enemy...
**[09:47] ---**
...then this is the only way left!
**[10:10] ---**
Let go of me, Tenzen!
**[10:12] ---**
The old woman raised you to have
the blood of the next Iga leader!
**[10:18] ---**
What men are worthy
of passing on that blood?!
**[10:23] ---**
Of the ten the old woman chose,
only three men remain...
**[10:29] ---**
Me, Jingoro, or Koshiro...
**[10:34] ---**
Oboro-*sama*... who will you choose?
**[10:39] ---**
No one! I choose no one!
**[10:41] ---**
Tenzen! Kill me!
**[10:43] ---**
I will not! As the banner of
the Iga *ninpou*, you must remain alive!
**[10:49] ---**
Akeginu! Jingoro! Koshi--
**[10:52] ---**
Silence! They are all aware of this!
**[11:02] ---**
These breasts, which not
even Gennosuke has touched
**[11:04] ---**
have actually warmed up!
**[11:08] ---**
Not even ancient *ninpou* can
capture a woman's heart as easily
**[11:13] ---**
as making love to her...
**[11:16] ---**
No!
**[11:31] ---**
*T- Tenzen-sama...*
**[11:35] ---**
*What...*
**[11:36] ---**
No!
**[11:38] ---**
*How can you do this?!*
**[11:41] ---**
No!
**[11:43] ---**
*Tenzen-sama... Please stop!*
**[11:46] ---**
*Tenzen-sama!*
**[12:01] ---**
It appears something has happened outside...
**[12:04] ---**
W-Who cares about the outside?!
**[12:06] ---**
When are we going to get to Miya Port?!
**[12:10] ---**
The boat just left Kuwana, you know.
**[12:35] ---**
Sir Frog! Sir Frog! Leap high into the sky!
**[12:45] ---**
That kid's good!
**[12:47] ---**
Must get it from his father!
He's got a bright future!
**[12:52] ---**
You're too kind...
**[12:59] ---**
Why does the sea have to be salty anyway?!
**[13:05] ---**
Honestly! It makes no sense at all!
**[13:23] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*.
**[13:25] ---**
What?
**[13:27] ---**
It was only this.
**[13:28] ---**
D-Don't scare me like that...
**[13:34] ---**
That's a cute carving, little boy.
**[13:39] ---**
Yeah!
**[13:45] ---**
What's the matter?
**[13:53] ---**
There's too few...
**[13:54] ---**
Eh?
**[13:57] ---**
The number of passengers...
**[14:04] ---**
There's one too few...
**[14:08] ---**
I'll go have a look around.
**[14:11] ---**
W-Wait!
**[14:14] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*?
**[14:19] ---**
I-I-I'll come too!
**[14:26] ---**
No!
**[14:33] ---**
*T-Tenzen-sama... is my master...*
**[14:38] ---**
*I should want him to wed Oboro-sama...*
**[14:46] ---**
*I cannot disobey him, no matter what!*
**[15:02] ---**
*Oboro-sama is also my master...
Master of the Tsubagakure clan!*
**[15:09] ---**
Akeginu! Jingoro!
**[15:17] ---**
O-Oboro-*sama*...
**[15:32] ---**
Koshiro...
**[15:38] ---**
Koshiro...
**[15:42] ---**
Koshiro!
**[15:44] ---**
P-Princess!
**[15:46] ---**
Koshiro!
**[15:49] ---**
*P-Princess!*
**[15:53] ---**
*Princess!*
**[15:58] ---**
Koshiro!
**[16:02] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[16:05] ---**
You must stop! Tenzen-*sama*!
**[16:34] ---**
T-Tenzen-*sama*?
**[16:50] ---**
Oboro-*sama*...
**[16:56] ---**
K-Koshiro?
**[17:00] ---**
T-Tenzen...
**[17:09] ---**
Is this-
**[17:11] ---**
Is he dead?
**[17:14] ---**
Oboro-*sama*... Was it--
**[17:17] ---**
Was it you who saved me?!
**[17:40] ---**
Tenzen!
**[17:41] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[17:47] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[18:01] ---**
Was this *his* doing?!
**[18:06] ---**
He's here...
**[18:09] ---**
He's somewhere on this boat...
**[18:12] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*?
**[18:37] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*...
**[18:44] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*!
**[18:48] ---**
Wait.
**[18:50] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*, guard Oboro-*sama*.
**[19:06] ---**
Where are you?! Where are you?!
**[19:10] ---**
There's no use hiding!
**[19:18] ---**
Kasumi Gyobu!
**[19:22] ---**
There you are!
**[19:27] ---**
Suddenly afraid, Gyobu?!
**[19:29] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[19:42] ---**
Come out! Show your--
**[19:48] ---**
K-K-K-Kasumi Gyobu!
**[19:56] ---**
Here I am, just like you wanted!
**[20:02] ---**
Stop!
**[20:09] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*!
**[20:19] ---**
M-Man overboard!
**[20:21] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*!
**[20:29] ---**
Help... me...
**[20:34] ---**
W-What the hell is that?!
**[20:39] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*!
**[20:41] ---**
A-A-Akeginu...
**[21:01] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*!
**[21:05] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*!
**[21:30] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*...
**[22:03] ---**
Impossible...

*There were people who loathed one another.*
**[00:24] ---**
*Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...*
**[00:31] ---**
*And their bonds were broken by blades...*
**[00:50] ---**
*Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...*

**[01:03] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:34] ---**
*Clouds shroud a night with a waning
moon quivering in the haze*
**[01:45] ---**
*A cruel trap involving
a pair of crucified fledglings*
**[01:56] ---**
*Oh, since smoldering feelings
lie firmly in their hearts...*
**[02:07] ---**
*...destruction!*

*Gently as the water, severely as a flower*

"Prison on the High Seas"
**[03:17] ---**
We're nearly to Miya Port.
**[03:22] ---**
Do you suppose the Iga
*are* trying to get ahead of us?
**[03:25] ---**
Yes. Otherwise, our journey by
land will have been for naught.
**[03:37] ---**
As we speak, Gyobu is probably
**[03:42] ---**
crossing blades with the Iga...
**[03:52] ---**
No one can stop his will...
**[04:03] ---**
Y-You!
**[04:07] ---**
Impressive, Gyobu. You got the best of me.
**[04:11] ---**
Tenzen! Impossible!
**[04:13] ---**
You were most definitely dead!
**[04:17] ---**
Then how am I standing here now?
**[04:22] ---**
Are you suggesting I'm a ghost, Kasumi Gyobu?
**[04:35] ---**
That is a truly useful technique.
**[04:39] ---**
'Tis perfect for running away,
tail between your legs.
**[04:43] ---**
Ha! I'll slaughter you all you want!
**[04:47] ---**
Just thinking about it
makes me shake uncontrollably!
**[05:34] ---**
Jingoro-*dono*...
**[05:39] ---**
Climb up, quick!
**[05:44] ---**
*I will avenge you...*
**[06:14] ---**
Where are you aiming?!
**[06:19] ---**
Unfortunately, it appears my blade
is not able to cut down Kouga rats.
**[06:28] ---**
If hiding one's self is how
the Kouga fight, then so be it...
**[06:36] ---**
That's how *you* Iga fight!
**[06:38] ---**
Don't pretend you've forgotten
your plot during the Tenshou era!
**[06:43] ---**
What plot?
**[06:45] ---**
It was your scheme to have the body
of the retired Manjidani leader
**[06:50] ---**
roll out of the village around
the same time Oda attacked Iga!
**[06:58] ---**
So what if it was?
**[07:19] ---**
Daddy...
**[07:20] ---**
Don't worry...
**[07:24] ---**
How cold-blooded...
**[07:26] ---**
Gyobu, a man has died
because you insist on hiding.
**[07:32] ---**
What a deeply sinful man you are.
**[07:35] ---**
An Iga preaching about sin is absurd!
**[07:40] ---**
I've not forgotten your evildoing!
**[07:51] ---**
I will never forget what happened that day.
**[07:55] ---**
Never...
**[08:56] ---**
Why did you hesitate, Gyobu?
**[09:03] ---**
Did you think attacking
from behind was unfair?
**[09:07] ---**
Or perhaps you felt pity for your foe?
**[09:14] ---**
The day may come when that
weakness will cost you your life!
**[09:21] ---**
A *shinobi* needs no pity!
If you want to survive, abandon your pity!
**[09:30] ---**
Y-Yes, Father...
**[10:03] ---**
You're going to Tsubagakure, Father?!
**[10:07] ---**
It seems they've grown frustrated
with these repeated skirmishes, too.
**[10:12] ---**
I must first go and see
them on behalf of Danjo-*sama*.
**[10:24] ---**
Father... Please be careful...
**[10:29] ---**
Don't worry. Who do you take me for?
**[10:52] ---**
I still have a long way to go, too...
**[10:57] ---**
The grudge between Kouga and Iga
**[11:01] ---**
will not disappear any time soon...
**[11:06] ---**
Shedding any more needless
blood would be foolish.
**[11:11] ---**
Father...
**[11:18] ---**
Living quietly with you is nice too...
**[11:40] ---**
Father! Why don't we have
wild vegetable stew tonight?!
**[11:46] ---**
I'll gather lots of them before you return!
**[11:53] ---**
Get down!
**[12:00] ---**
*Curse you, you scheming Iga!*
**[12:32] ---**
F-Father!
**[12:41] ---**
Father!
**[12:47] ---**
Gyobu?
**[12:50] ---**
Father! Father!
**[12:54] ---**
Don't cry... A *shinobi* needs no pity...
**[13:17] ---**
Father?
**[13:22] ---**
Father!
**[13:45] ---**
Not long after,
**[13:47] ---**
the first Hattori Hanzo bound
the Kouga and Iga by an anti-war pact!
**[13:56] ---**
Leaving me unable to avenge my father!
**[14:07] ---**
As a result, I decided...
**[14:16] ---**
The only thing that drives me
now is my hatred for you Iga!
**[14:24] ---**
On that day... I abandoned pity.
**[14:38] ---**
You make me laugh.
**[14:47] ---**
Of all the nonsense
you could possibly spout...
**[14:51] ---**
Pathetic. At least you have pity to abandon.
**[14:57] ---**
Both you and your father get to
die without having witnessed Hell...
**[15:06] ---**
What did you say?!
**[15:18] ---**
W-What the...?!
**[15:29] ---**
This way!
**[15:30] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:33] ---**
Hey!
**[16:00] ---**
I'd nearly forgotten
that stupid look of yours.
**[16:05] ---**
Good.
**[16:06] ---**
Then take close note so you don't
mistake me for the demons in Hell!
**[16:12] ---**
Die!
**[16:16] ---**
This is the end!
**[16:39] ---**
Damn you!
**[16:40] ---**
Daddy!
**[16:43] ---**
Daddy! Daddy!
**[16:47] ---**
Daddy!
**[16:50] ---**
Daddy!
**[17:16] ---**
Gyobu! No, you don't!
**[17:27] ---**
Well done, Akeginu!

Keep quiet! You'll scare the fish away!
**[03:02] ---**
I foresee an accident
involving water, Shogen.
**[03:07] ---**
I'd think twice about
fishing today if I were you...
**[03:13] ---**
That Jimushi, what a fool...
**[03:23] ---**
Well done, Shogen-*dono*.
**[03:26] ---**
See that, Jimushi?!
Your astromancy finally missed its mark!
**[03:36] ---**
Josuke?!
**[03:45] ---**
Get back here!
**[03:47] ---**
There's no escape, Josuke!
**[03:50] ---**
Gyobu... Okoi!
**[03:53] ---**
No, I'm sorry, Okoi-*dono*...
**[03:55] ---**
But my hand has something to say about it...
**[03:59] ---**
Your hand?
**[04:00] ---**
It says that your bottom invited it!
**[04:05] ---**
It was like, "Come here! Come here!"
**[04:11] ---**
Shall we have some Josuke stew
instead of boar stew, Okoi?
**[04:16] ---**
It'd probably be too heavy with all that fat,
**[04:19] ---**
but there'd definitely be
a lot to go around...
**[04:22] ---**
Okoi-*dono*! Please don't do that!
**[04:25] ---**
If your rump were to grow
even larger than it is now...
**[04:46] ---**
You just never learn, do you?
**[04:51] ---**
Okoi-*dono* doesn't know moderation.
I was only joking around...
**[04:56] ---**
Just be thankful you didn't
wind up in a stew.
**[05:03] ---**
I wanted Saemon-*dono* to be
my substitute, but I forgot to ask...
**[05:09] ---**
Your substitute? I don't think
even Saemon can copy *your* figure...
**[05:15] ---**
That's true...
**[05:18] ---**
You don't want to accompany Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[05:21] ---**
I'd really prefer not to,
given where he's going...
**[05:26] ---**
To think he's going to meet
with Ogen-*ba*'s own successor...
**[05:33] ---**
The Iga princess's bottom, huh...
**[05:36] ---**
I can only imagine it's hard
and not pleasing at all...
**[05:50] ---**
No one's gonna come, Hotarubi.
**[05:54] ---**
The men are out keeping watch
along the road for the Kouga...
**[06:00] ---**
Shouldn't you go too, Yashamaru-*dono*?
**[06:04] ---**
Just to see the ugly Kouga?
I think I'll pass.
**[06:09] ---**
Being here with you is much better.
**[06:12] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*...
**[06:37] ---**
Never mind. Today just isn't my day...
**[06:42] ---**
Yashamaru-*dono*!
**[06:52] ---**
Please watch over me, Big Sister,
**[06:55] ---**
so that I won't make nervous mistakes
**[06:59] ---**
or say what I shouldn't say...
**[07:21] ---**
Old woman.
**[07:23] ---**
I agree with showing
Oboro-*sama* to the Hattori family, but...
**[07:28] ---**
Tenzen, what is this pointy thing?
**[07:31] ---**
But not if the Kouga
will also be in attendance...
**[07:34] ---**
With the anti-war pact now in effect,
your worries are unfounded.
**[07:39] ---**
--Tenzen! Tenzen!
**[07:39] ---**
--But...
**[07:44] ---**
The palanquin is ready.
**[07:47] ---**
Big Sister!
**[07:57] ---**
I do not understand.
**[07:59] ---**
Why have you chosen that infant
to be the Tsubagakure successor?
**[08:05] ---**
One of your own children would be better,
**[08:07] ---**
and surely there are many other
skilled people within your bloodline!
**[08:13] ---**
Together with the Kouga successor, huh...
**[08:27] ---**
"Hattori Hanzo Compound"
**[08:29] ---**
"Second Hattori Hanzo"
**[08:34] ---**
*Kouga Danjo, Iga-no-Ogen...*
**[08:37] ---**
*Both remained single, and instead
chose successors from relatives...*
**[08:45] ---**
*But to think they're both children
who harbor power in their eyes...*
**[08:57] ---**
Kyohachiro.
**[08:58] ---**
Right.
**[09:03] ---**
You don't want to listen
to boring grownup talk, do you?
**[09:14] ---**
Go ahead and play.
**[09:16] ---**
Someone will come to get you later.
**[09:30] ---**
U-Umm...
**[09:34] ---**
U-Uhh...
**[09:49] ---**
I heard that the Iga are cowardly and filthy.
**[09:53] ---**
Cowardly?
**[09:56] ---**
Iga is a bad place.
**[10:01] ---**
No! That's not true!
Iga is a very nice place!
**[10:05] ---**
How so?
**[10:07] ---**
We have wild hares!
**[10:09] ---**
So does Kouga.
**[10:10] ---**
T-The hares in Iga
come in all kinds of colors!
**[10:15] ---**
Gray and brown and--
**[10:16] ---**
Kouga even has white ones.
**[10:20] ---**
Uhh... Umm...
**[10:23] ---**
The Iga's sun is really shiny!
**[10:26] ---**
Shiny, huh?
**[10:33] ---**
Everyone in Iga is very nice to me...
**[10:39] ---**
Nenki tosses me high
into the air with his beard!
**[10:43] ---**
Koshiro is very dexterous
even though he's little.
**[10:48] ---**
Akeginu is--
**[10:53] ---**
I see...
**[10:59] ---**
You've made me want to visit Iga.
**[11:04] ---**
Okay!
**[11:33] ---**
Is she your daughter?
**[11:38] ---**
I'm not really sure if
we're related in that way.
**[11:47] ---**
I can't remember anymore.
**[11:56] ---**
Oboro-*sama*, wouldn't you
prefer to be in the palanquin?
**[12:00] ---**
I wish to walk!
**[12:06] ---**
I hear that boy came from Kouga...
**[12:10] ---**
Is that so?
**[12:13] ---**
Do you think we can ever play again?
**[12:18] ---**
Yes, I'm certain of it.
**[12:25] ---**
Oboro-*sama*...
**[12:36] ---**
Oboro-*sama*? Oboro-*sama*?
**[12:41] ---**
Oboro-*sama*?
**[12:44] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[12:46] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[12:50] ---**
Oh, you're sweating.
Your face powder is coming off...
**[12:57] ---**
Oh no!
**[12:59] ---**
There is still time. Let us reapply it.
**[13:17] ---**
Here you are. You look
very lovely, Oboro-*sama*.
**[13:22] ---**
Akeginu! Thank...
**[13:36] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani- Kouga Danjo's Compound"
**[13:40] ---**
Fine! Never mind!
**[13:44] ---**
Kagero?
**[13:49] ---**
So many visitors today...
**[13:52] ---**
What's wrong with Kagero?
**[13:54] ---**
I refused when she asked me to foresee
**[13:56] ---**
how Gennosuke-*sama*'s
marriage meeting will turn out.
**[14:01] ---**
I'm curious about that myself...
**[14:04] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*'s fortune is of
no importance to you or Kagero.
**[14:12] ---**
I doubt any answer would
change your concern for him.
**[14:20] ---**
Can't argue with that...
**[14:23] ---**
Incidentally, there is something
these blind eyes seem to see...
**[14:30] ---**
Beyond the gaze of Gennosuke-*sama*'s eyes
**[14:34] ---**
lies the ever-reaching
"future" of the Kouga...
**[14:45] ---**
Gennosuke, I won't say that
your notions are misguided,
**[14:51] ---**
but this grudge has been
frozen solid for 400 years.
**[14:54] ---**
Melting it will not be easy.
**[14:57] ---**
Grandfather...
**[14:58] ---**
Even so, I will not stop
wishing that the chains of hatred
**[15:02] ---**
that bind the Kouga Manjidani
and Iga Tsubagakure be broken at last,
**[15:09] ---**
and that together, as one clan,
we can step into the outside world...
**[15:22] ---**
How young you are...
**[15:33] ---**
Urgh...
**[15:37] ---**
Here she comes! Don't screw up, Nenki!
**[15:41] ---**
Right! Leave it to me, Rosai-rou!
**[15:58] ---**
H-Have your hiccups stopped?
**[16:07] ---**
How about we lop off Kouga
Gennosuke's head while she watches?
**[16:12] ---**
No, Nenki! The Iga cannot
afford to break the anti-war pact!
**[16:18] ---**
I jest. Not even *I* would go that far.
**[16:23] ---**
I wonder...
**[16:30] ---**
Now, then...
**[16:31] ---**
Drink it all slowly, in one breath.
**[16:39] ---**
Well?
**[16:41] ---**
I think they've stopped...
**[16:45] ---**
Kouga Danjo's party has arrived!
**[16:49] ---**
A-Akeginu!
**[16:51] ---**
Please calm yourself, Oboro-*sama*.
I'll bring the tea, too.
**[16:56] ---**
I-I'll take it!
**[16:58] ---**
But, Oboro-*sama*...
**[17:00] ---**
No! Please let me carry the tea! I can do it!
**[17:05] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[17:13] ---**
J-Jingoro-*dono*?
**[17:27] ---**
Looks like I wasn't needed, after all.
**[17:33] ---**
W-Was he planning to surprise Oboro-*sama*?!
**[17:42] ---**
I see Tsubagakure hasn't changed...
**[17:46] ---**
Time has stopped in Iga since that day...
**[17:52] ---**
All that *has* changed is
the number of wrinkles I have...
**[17:57] ---**
Likewise.
**[18:18] ---**
I've brought tea.
**[19:14] ---**
I-I'm so sorry!
**[19:20] ---**
O-Oboro-*sama*?!
**[19:21] ---**
Hey, what's all the fuss?
**[19:29] ---**
Sheesh. The Iga have
one nasty dog for a pet...
**[19:57] ---**
Oboro...
**[20:01] ---**
I'm so sorry, Grandmother!
I've shamed the Iga name!
**[20:08] ---**
He certainly is a peculiar one,
that Kouga Gennosuke...
**[20:13] ---**
Eh?
**[20:15] ---**
He seems to be quite fond of you.
**[20:21] ---**
He says he would really
like to see you again...
**[20:39] ---**
Grandfather. The eyes of that Oboro girl...
**[20:43] ---**
Oh, you noticed?
**[20:46] ---**
Oboro was born with piercing eyes.
**[20:50] ---**
I'm told they can disperse any
*ninpou* technique they gaze upon...
**[20:57] ---**
However, it appears she has
not learned to control her power.
**[21:03] ---**
As she is, she could even ruin her allies.
**[21:08] ---**
It appears she was raised lovingly,
and away from the real world.
**[21:14] ---**
To think their successor would
not be informed about that day...
**[21:20] ---**
What do you suppose would
happen if you used your *Dojutsu*
**[21:24] ---**
on the Iga princess, Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[21:34] ---**
*Even if we did have to fight,
there was no bloodlust in her eyes...*
**[21:43] ---**
Ogen's hawk...
**[21:51] ---**
*How I'd like the Kouga and Iga
to finally clasp hands as one clan*
**[22:01] ---**
*and step into the world together!*
**[22:08] ---**
*And step into the world together...*
**[22:31] ---**
*Melting away in the melody
you whisper in the twilight*
**[22:52] ---**
*I sense eternity in our attracting eyes*
**[23:02] ---**
*and life sprouts silently*
**[23:14] ---**
*The dew of emotions that dances
and flutters about in the spring wind*
**[23:26] ---**
*is a crumbling butterfly dream that
wildly disturbs the path of the stars*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next Time"
**[23:50] ---**
*Bloody swords roar on the Chiryu
plains along the Tokaido Road.*
**[23:54] ---**
*Deadly winds of hatred
scatter the gathering clouds.*
**[23:57] ---**
*A mind's eye sees anguish in
the forgiving of conflicting natures.*
**[24:03] ---**
*Standing at the brink of total
darkness, the souls sob, pray,*
**[24:07] ---**
*and eventually become shaking blades.*
**[24:10] ---**

**[00:19] ---**
*There were people who loathed one another.*
**[00:23] ---**
*Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...*
**[00:31] ---**
*And their bonds were broken by blades...*
**[00:50] ---**
*Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...*
**[00:56] ---**
*"My beloved, please die..."*
**[01:03] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:34] ---**
*Clouds shroud a night with a waning
moon quivering in the haze*
**[01:45] ---**
*A cruel trap involving
a pair of crucified fledglings*
**[01:56] ---**
*Oh, since smoldering feelings
lie firmly in their hearts...*
**[02:07] ---**
*...destruction!*
**[02:08] ---**
*Gently as the water, severely as a flower*
**[02:14] ---**
*pierce with a trembling blade*
**[02:18] ---**
*Even when I shut the fated
tears deep within my eyes*
**[02:25] ---**
*my eyelids still remember you*
**[02:42] ---**
"Runoff in Darkness"
**[03:22] ---**
A hawk!
**[03:24] ---**
It holds a scroll!
**[03:30] ---**
I'll capture it!
**[03:32] ---**
Kagero! Do not chase it too far!
**[03:34] ---**
I know!
**[03:36] ---**
I will go, too!
**[03:46] ---**
*That's Iga-no-Ogen's hawk.
Whose is it, now that its master is gone?*
**[03:53] ---**
*Oboro!*
**[04:11] ---**
*So two stayed behind...*
**[04:15] ---**
*Judging from their voices,
the one on the left is Muroga Hyoma...*
**[04:20] ---**
*...and the other is Kisaragi Saemon...*
**[04:30] ---**
*That accursed Nenki, running off
with the yamishichiyo potion*
**[04:36] ---**
*but dying without having used it...*
**[04:44] ---**
This bloodlust... Does it
belong to you, Yakushiji Tenzen?
**[04:51] ---**
T-That voice!
**[05:02] ---**
It flies as if patronizing us!
**[05:08] ---**
Saemon-*dono*! Over there!
**[05:10] ---**
Right!
**[05:42] ---**
The person got away,
but *must* be hiding nearby!
**[05:48] ---**
There are two of us.
He won't attack us carelessly.
**[05:52] ---**
Let him go for now.
**[05:54] ---**
But...
**[05:55] ---**
The fact the person's presence
is concealed means it is not Oboro.
**[06:01] ---**
Her piercing eyes aside, she is
unable use a single *ninpou* technique.
**[06:10] ---**
More importantly...
**[06:12] ---**
We may have fallen right into an Iga trap.
**[06:21] ---**
You don't mean...
**[06:23] ---**
Now I see.
**[06:25] ---**
So the Gennosuke who chased
the hawk was actually Saemon...
**[06:32] ---**
Impressively done.
**[06:44] ---**
You're...
**[06:52] ---**
Well done, Nenki, Hotarubi.
**[06:57] ---**
Just as I'd expect of the Tsubagakure Ten.
**[07:02] ---**
You had me utterly fooled.
**[07:05] ---**
To think neither of you can see...
**[07:09] ---**
So much for the grand
spectacle I prepared for you...
**[07:12] ---**
No...
**[07:14] ---**
We both saw him clearly.
With our minds' eyes.
**[07:18] ---**
We are thankful we could give him
our final farewells and a funeral.
**[07:26] ---**
Amusing, Hyoma.
**[07:30] ---**
In that case.... Can you see
*this* with your mind's eye?!
**[07:43] ---**
Gennosuke, I had intended to
leave you alive until the very end
**[07:46] ---**
so you could see the Kougas' ruin
and my marriage to Oboro-*sama*,
**[07:56] ---**
but it seems the moment
of destiny has shown itself!
**[08:03] ---**
Leave, Tenzen.
**[08:09] ---**
Until we've spoken with the retired
shogun in Sunpu and returned,
**[08:15] ---**
could you and your remaining
comrades wait for us back at Iga?
**[08:23] ---**
If possible, we wish to put this,
the Tenshou battle,
**[08:29] ---**
our 400-year grudge,
and everything else behind us.
**[08:38] ---**
Both sides, unaware
of what started it all,
**[08:41] ---**
have already suffered
enormous, equal losses...
**[08:47] ---**
Do you suppose we could
cut all of our losses
**[08:50] ---**
and at last break the spell of
hatred that has long bound us?
**[08:56] ---**
We ask you this as proxy for Oboro-*dono*,
leader of Iga Tsubagakure.
**[09:03] ---**
These are the genuine intentions
of Kouga Gennosuke-*sama*,
**[09:08] ---**
leader of Kouga Manjidani.
**[09:11] ---**
Hyoma...
**[09:20] ---**
What nonsense, after all that has happened!
**[09:22] ---**
Have you turned coward, Gennosuke?!
**[09:25] ---**
Then what was that letter of challenge?!
**[09:28] ---**
That was to save face.
**[09:31] ---**
There are many on our side who
blindly loathe the Iga too, you see...
**[09:36] ---**
Hyoma, don't tell me glib words
**[09:40] ---**
are your blind man's techniques?!
**[09:47] ---**
Pitiful!
**[09:54] ---**
I truly underestimated you Kouga!
**[10:12] ---**
Yakushiji Tenzen.
**[10:14] ---**
We will never see your marriage to Oboro.
**[10:21] ---**
Resigned yourself, have you?
**[10:24] ---**
The reason being...
**[10:26] ---**
...that you are going to die first!
**[10:30] ---**
It seems your blindness has driven you mad...
**[10:34] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[10:37] ---**
Yes.
**[10:40] ---**
Look, Hyoma.
**[11:01] ---**
Hyoma! You...
**[11:20] ---**
Masters are not easily surpassed after all...
**[11:24] ---**
Nothing of the sort.
**[11:26] ---**
I'm now nothing more
than your night substitute.
**[11:31] ---**
That is not true.
**[11:34] ---**
I was seen through completely.
**[11:38] ---**
I've also worried Saemon and Kagero.
**[11:43] ---**
I'm a worthless leader...
**[11:46] ---**
Everyone understands how you feel.
**[11:51] ---**
It's just that that is how
deeply rooted this grudge is...
**[11:57] ---**
And now everyone has a reason they
cannot see things in perspective...
**[12:05] ---**
If only we had known about
the pact's annulment before the Iga...
**[12:14] ---**
There is no turning back now.
**[12:18] ---**
I do not want to lose any of you.
**[12:23] ---**
Kouga is dear to me, for it raised me.
**[12:29] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[12:32] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*! Are you all right?!
**[12:34] ---**
There is no need for worry.
I am glad you returned safely.
**[12:40] ---**
Yakushiji Tenzen...
**[12:46] ---**
Nenki, Hotarubi, and Amayo Jingoro
are all crossed out with blood...
**[12:53] ---**
That is most likely Gyobu's blood...
**[12:57] ---**
Well done.
**[13:00] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[13:02] ---**
The hawk got away.
As did a person controlling it.
**[13:12] ---**
When next you see it,
**[13:14] ---**
kill both it and its hawker.
**[13:23] ---**
But what if it's Oboro?
Should we still do that?
**[13:29] ---**
Of course. She is an Iga.
**[13:33] ---**
Saemon. Kagero. Why are you so bewildered?
**[13:38] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama* ordered me to look at Tenzen.
**[13:42] ---**
Just as he did with Nenki.
**[13:50] ---**
Hyoma. Kagero.
**[13:52] ---**
Go on ahead
to Okazaki with Gennosuke-*sama*.
**[13:57] ---**
What are you going to do, Saemon-*dono*?
**[14:01] ---**
I have a bit of business with this dead man.
**[14:04] ---**
I assumed this creepy man was
the most powerful of them all,
**[14:11] ---**
but in actuality, he amounted to nothing...
**[14:25] ---**
"Tokaido Road - Chiryu"
**[14:29] ---**
"Inn"
**[14:42] ---**
I'm sorry for asking to
use hot water, Akeginu...
**[14:48] ---**
Not at all. The sticky sea breeze
must have felt quite unpleasant...
**[14:54] ---**
I apologize for my unawareness.
**[15:02] ---**
Oboro-*sama*! Be my wife!
**[15:06] ---**
The old woman raised you to have
the blood of the next Iga leader!
**[15:12] ---**
What men are worthy
of passing on that blood?!
**[15:19] ---**
These breasts, which not
even Gennosuke has touched
**[15:22] ---**
have actually warmed up!
**[15:31] ---**
Akeginu...
**[15:32] ---**
Yes?
**[15:33] ---**
Please scrub harder...
**[15:44] ---**
That flute...
**[15:45] ---**
Eh?
**[15:46] ---**
Was that a traveling entertainer
who sailed across with us?
**[15:53] ---**
Yes...
**[15:55] ---**
Daddy! Daddy!
**[16:00] ---**
Where do you suppose he is now?
**[16:03] ---**
I don't know.
**[16:04] ---**
He may have hurried on ahead,
or perhaps he's staying at an inn here.
**[16:12] ---**
I'd like to hear it one more time...
**[16:20] ---**
Perhaps we'll cross paths again sometime.
**[16:28] ---**
Has Koshiro gone to bed?
**[16:32] ---**
I still haven't properly
apologized for what I did to him...
**[16:41] ---**
If possible, I'd like to before Tenzen
returns from scouting the area...
**[16:47] ---**
Koshiro-*dono* is accompanying Tenzen-*sama*.
**[16:52] ---**
Eh?
**[16:53] ---**
To slay Muroga Hyoma sometime tonight.
**[16:56] ---**
They are probably near Komaba as we speak...
**[16:59] ---**
What?! But Koshiro is blind, you know!
**[17:03] ---**
I tried to stop him too, but...
**[17:07] ---**
You're concerned for my safety?
**[17:10] ---**
N-No... For Koshiro-*dono*...
**[17:13] ---**
This is not a light jaunt, Akeginu.
**[17:16] ---**
Y-You're right. My apologies.
**[17:22] ---**
Familiar men and women often
show new sides in strange lands.
**[17:28] ---**
T-That's not how it is!
**[17:31] ---**
Once we have successfully
slaughtered the Kouga clan,
**[17:36] ---**
I see no harm in holding
two wedding ceremonies together.
**[17:40] ---**
B-But, I-
**[17:48] ---**
I know Koshiro-*dono* will be all right.
**[17:57] ---**
Akeginu...
**[18:00] ---**
I just know it...
**[18:09] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*...
**[18:12] ---**
What happened on the boat was just a means.
**[18:17] ---**
A means to lure out
the hidden Kouga member.
**[18:22] ---**
Pay it no mind.
**[18:37] ---**
Where have you gone, Tenzen-*sama*?
**[18:41] ---**
Where did you go, Tenzen-*sama*?!
**[18:50] ---**
Hawk!
**[18:52] ---**
Is Tenzen-*sama* all right?!
**[18:57] ---**
Where are you going?
**[19:00] ---**
Where are you going?!
**[19:02] ---**
*How did things turn out this way?*
**[19:06] ---**
*When did I start loathing the Kouga, and why?*
**[19:16] ---**
*The princess...*
**[19:18] ---**
*I will protect the princess and Iga,
the place that raised me...*
**[19:30] ---**
*The princess...*
**[19:33] ---**
*Yes... I...*
**[19:36] ---**
*I will take the princess away...
and always be by her side!*
**[19:42] ---**
*I...*
**[20:11] ---**
What can I possibly do like this?
**[20:15] ---**
Kouga Gennosuke...
**[20:17] ---**
*Your feelings for Oboro-sama...*
**[20:24] ---**
*Is this really-- is this really
how you want things to be?!*
**[20:30] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[20:32] ---**
He left...
**[20:34] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama* left!
**[20:40] ---**
*He's just a Kouga...*
**[20:43] ---**
If only the Kouga clan didn't exist!
**[20:54] ---**
*That heavy gait...*
**[20:56] ---**
*I see you are still
confused, Gennosuke-sama...*
**[21:01] ---**
*But you're not to blame. Such is youth.*
**[21:06] ---**
*However, things are proceeding mercilessly...*
**[21:11] ---**
*As one who has pledged myself to you,
I may be wrong in saying this,*
**[21:20] ---**
*but until you are the last of the
Kouga Ten, may you remain confused.*
**[21:27] ---**
*I will apologize to Danjo-sama in Hell.*
**[21:31] ---**
*No, not even Danjo-sama can
blame you. The reason being...*
**[21:44] ---**
What is it, Hyoma?
**[21:46] ---**
Someone approaches.
**[22:00] ---**
Are you Kouga?
**[22:03] ---**
That voice...
**[22:05] ---**
...Chikuma Koshiro!
**[22:31] ---**
*The mist of sorrow softly touches
these lips blotted with red droplets*
**[22:42] ---**

illuminates the distance in the night*

sparkle with a lazuline hue...*

by a harbinger from the darkness,*

"Next Time"
**[23:50] ---**

between general and grunt soldier.*
**[23:56] ---**
*For the one who must be protected,
and for the beloved,*
**[24:00] ---**
*two ravenous birds now put
everything on the line.*

"Dawn of Darkness"
**[02:56] ---**
Kunichiyo-*sama*! What's wrong?!
**[03:00] ---**
Kunichiyo-*sama*! Say something,
Kunichiyo-*sama*! Kunichiyo-*sama*!
**[03:16] ---**
Oh, whatever is the matter, Oeyo-*dono*?
**[03:23] ---**
Someone has poisoned Kunichiyo-*sama*!
**[03:28] ---**
Luckily, things did not turn serious,
but we cannot overlook this!
**[03:33] ---**
I am leaving immediately for
Sunpu to see the retired shogun!
**[03:37] ---**
Hold on.
**[03:39] ---**
This is not the best time to
quarrel over the succession.
**[03:44] ---**
It would be most prudent
to calmly wait for news.
**[03:50] ---**
But, Tenkai-*dono*...
**[03:56] ---**
You are so heroic, Takechiyo-*sama*!
**[04:00] ---**
Please tell the same
thing to that absent vixen!
**[04:50] ---**
Is that you, Kouga Gennosuke?!
**[04:56] ---**
Iga scum!
**[05:06] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[05:34] ---**
Kagero, take Gennosuke-*sama
*with you and escape.
**[05:39] ---**
Hyoma-*dono*...
**[05:40] ---**
Hyoma! What are you--
**[05:42] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*, please take
a good look at the world's reason...
**[05:55] ---**
*Hyoma...*
**[06:06] ---**
Kagero!
**[06:07] ---**
Go!
**[06:11] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[06:16] ---**
Gennosuke!
**[06:20] ---**
Stop!
**[06:53] ---**
Look, Koshiro!
**[07:26] ---**
Where did he go, hawk?
**[07:30] ---**
Tell me where the enemy is
with your flapping!
**[07:33] ---**
*It seems his eyes have yet to open
since Gennosuke-sama closed them.*
**[08:02] ---**
*This is bad...*
**[08:06] ---**
*How I would like to see that
view again, Gennosuke-sama...*
**[08:39] ---**
*Where are you, Kouga scum?
What direction will you come from?!*
**[09:29] ---**
*I've blundered!*
**[09:49] ---**
Hyoma... are you here, Hyoma?
**[09:59] ---**
You called for me, Danjo-*sama*?
**[10:03] ---**
Can you tell who this is?
**[10:14] ---**
This one seems to have much of
his mother's, your sister's, blood.
**[10:24] ---**
Could you teach him the ways of your *Dojutsu*?
**[10:33] ---**
I want this one to grow strong.
**[10:37] ---**
Even stronger than I...
**[10:47] ---**
Well, let me have a look.
**[10:50] ---**
Eyes that see *too* much can be a problem.
**[11:22] ---**
Well?
**[11:24] ---**
Hyoma.
**[11:26] ---**
Yes.
**[11:27] ---**
A very honest child, he is.
**[11:39] ---**
"Mountains of Kouga Manjidani"
**[12:06] ---**
Aren't those nice voices, Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[12:14] ---**
I have no need for birds' voices!
**[12:19] ---**
How graceless.
**[12:21] ---**
You will need to learn about elegance.
**[12:40] ---**
What's wrong, Gennosuke-*sama*?
**[12:45] ---**
Isn't it obvious?!
**[12:47] ---**
But never mind that;
I want to learn your technique,
**[12:51] ---**
not walk around Manjidani
all day with this blindfold on!
**[12:57] ---**
You do not enjoy our strolls?
**[13:00] ---**
I want to grow stronger!
For the Kouga, and for--
**[13:05] ---**
But this won't make me any stronger...
**[13:10] ---**
If an enemy learns you use the *Dojutsu*,
he will attack your eyes first.
**[13:17] ---**
This training is for the unlikely
event you lose the use of your eyes.
**[13:31] ---**
I don't care about unlikely events!
Just teach me the *Dojutsu*!
**[13:41] ---**
Hyoma!
**[13:44] ---**
Let us go, Gennosuke-*sama*.
**[14:26] ---**
Sharpen your five senses.
**[14:28] ---**
Do so, and mountain paths such
as this will be nothing at all.
**[14:34] ---**
I know that!
**[14:38] ---**
Please be careful.
This area is a bit dangerous.
**[14:44] ---**
Yeah, right!
**[15:05] ---**
I told you it was dangerous.
**[15:08] ---**
Fear makes it all the more so.
**[15:20] ---**
This world is complicated and inscrutable.
**[15:23] ---**
All things intermingle
and constantly change.
**[15:30] ---**
But, if you can just see the reason
behind that chaotic world,
**[15:36] ---**
everything can be taken in by your eyes.
**[15:40] ---**
Is that--
**[15:41] ---**
That is the secret behind
our *Dojutsu* technique...
**[15:45] ---**
The reason in all living things.
**[15:48] ---**
So, what is this "reason"?!
**[15:52] ---**
If I told you, you wouldn't
need to work hard.
**[15:57] ---**
You're mean, Hyoma!
**[16:21] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[16:47] ---**
Are you all right?!
**[16:52] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[17:04] ---**
"Kouga Manjidani-
Muroga Hyoma's Quarters"
**[17:12] ---**
*Danjo-sama's judgment was correct.*
**[17:16] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama does indeed
possess the Dojutsu's gift.*
**[17:22] ---**
*However...*
**[17:28] ---**
*...where there is good in
this world, there is evil.*
**[17:33] ---**
*Where there is beauty,
there is also ugliness.*
**[17:38] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama's eyes are too
honest to grasp them both together.*
**[17:55] ---**
*His eyes may not need the darker reason...*
**[18:04] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*, how are you feeling?
**[18:09] ---**
Hyoma.
**[18:11] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[19:27] ---**
Thank you, Hyoma...
**[19:39] ---**
Magnificent...
**[19:41] ---**
Remove your blindfold and look.
**[19:44] ---**
No...
**[19:46] ---**
I can see it. I can see it, Hyoma!
**[19:51] ---**
So this is the reason of the world?
**[19:55] ---**
Indeed, it is.
**[19:57] ---**
It truly is a shiny sun...
**[20:02] ---**
So this sun shines on Kouga
and Iga Tsubagakure in the same way?
**[20:11] ---**
That is the reason of the world...
**[20:13] ---**
That is the reason of the world...
**[20:30] ---**
*Please... live...*
**[20:35] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama...*
**[20:38] ---**
Hyoma!
**[20:42] ---**
*It had an effect...*
**[20:45] ---**
*But I don't sense that he's fallen!*
**[20:48] ---**
*Did I fail?! No, I* know *I killed him!*
**[20:56] ---**
Where are you, Kouga scum?! Where are you?!
**[21:00] ---**
Where are you?!
**[21:06] ---**
The hawk... Have Koshiro and Tenzen returned?
**[21:10] ---**
No. Something doesn't seem right.
**[21:16] ---**
Could something have happened
to Tenzen-*sama* and Koshiro-*dono*?!
**[21:27] ---**
*Koshiro-dono...*
**[21:30] ---**
Where are you?! Where did you disappear to?!
**[21:32] ---**
I can't afford to be stuck here!
**[21:36] ---**
I must protect the princess!
**[21:39] ---**
I must hurry to Oboro-*sama*!
**[21:43] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*...
**[21:44] ---**
W-Who's there?!
**[21:48] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*...

Akeginu-*dono*?!

Koshiro-*dono*...
**[03:01] ---**
That voice... Is that you, Akeginu-*dono*?!
**[03:05] ---**
W-What are you doing here?!
**[03:08] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*... Behind you...
**[03:14] ---**
Is that not Muroga Hyoma
of the Kouga who stands dead?
**[03:19] ---**
What?!
**[03:20] ---**
Ah! So that's why I didn't sense his fall!
**[03:25] ---**
He died standing up...
**[03:28] ---**
Muroga Hyoma, you're truly fearsome...
**[03:32] ---**
Akeginu-*dono*, what are you doing here?
**[03:38] ---**
Don't tell me something
happened at the Chiryu inn?!
**[03:42] ---**
W-What's happened to Oboro-*sama*?!
**[03:49] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*...
**[03:53] ---**
The Kouga...
**[03:55] ---**
Kisaragi Saemon of the Kouga
suddenly appeared at the inn...
**[03:59] ---**
...and slowly and mercilessly
tortured Oboro-*sama* to death...
**[04:17] ---**
P-Princess...
**[04:23] ---**
What--
**[04:26] ---**
What am I doing?!
**[04:28] ---**
I swore to protect her with my life...
yet what did I do?!
**[04:37] ---**
Damn you! Damn you!
**[04:40] ---**
You'll pay! You'll pay for everything!
**[04:48] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*...
**[04:50] ---**
Akeginu-*dono*.
**[04:52] ---**
When Oboro-*sama* was slain...
what were *you* doing?!
**[04:59] ---**
Don't tell me--
**[05:01] ---**
I was tied down when it happened,
**[05:05] ---**
but later managed to break free...
**[05:10] ---**
I dishonorably stayed alive so
I could inform you and Tenzen-*sama*...
**[05:21] ---**
I never wanted to hear that!
**[05:25] ---**
I never wanted to hear that, Akeginu-*dono*!
**[05:28] ---**
But now I can have no regrets...
**[05:37] ---**
Now kill me...
**[05:47] ---**
...by your own hand...
**[05:49] ---**
A-Akegi--
**[05:54] ---**
Kill me...
**[05:59] ---**
Akeginu-*dono*...
**[06:00] ---**
Kill me. Kill me!
**[06:03] ---**
A-Akeginu-*dono*...
**[06:07] ---**
Please kill me...
**[06:18] ---**
Akeginu...
**[06:22] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*...
**[06:33] ---**
The Iga... have lost.
**[06:39] ---**
So let us meet our deaths...
**[06:46] ---**
...together...
**[06:57] ---**
Koshiro...
**[07:20] ---**
Oboro-*sama*...
**[07:28] ---**
Whew. Mimicking a woman is exhausting...
**[07:34] ---**
So Chikuma Koshiro died as if
dreaming of being held by Akeginu...
**[07:56] ---**
Hyoma...
**[07:59] ---**
So Oboro's hawk
returned to an inn in Chiryu...
**[08:04] ---**
In that case...
**[08:22] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*?!
**[08:25] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*! Koshiro-*dono*!
**[08:33] ---**
Koshiro-*dono* is...
**[08:36] ---**
Koshiro-*dono* is...
**[08:42] ---**
Akeginu...
**[08:44] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*!
**[08:50] ---**
Koshiro...
**[08:57] ---**
They did come, after all...
**[09:01] ---**
Saemon-*dono*, you can slay them
from close range in that form...
**[09:14] ---**
*Oboro...*
**[09:18] ---**
Koshiro-*dono*...
**[09:22] ---**
There are no wounds on his body, and yet...
**[09:35] ---**
You...
**[09:38] ---**
*You* did this to Koshiro-*dono*...
**[09:45] ---**
Akeginu, who's there?
**[09:48] ---**
One of the Kouga has died upright here.
**[09:53] ---**
He and Koshiro-*dono* most likely
killed each other at the same time...
**[10:01] ---**
*Forgive me for using
your body as bait, Hyoma...*
**[10:07] ---**
His face is destroyed beyond recognition,
but his hair is swept back.
**[10:13] ---**
It appears this is the man
known as Muroga Hyoma.
**[10:19] ---**
Akeginu! What are you doing?!
**[10:29] ---**
Please stop, Akeginu!
**[10:41] ---**
Stop it, Akeginu!
**[10:46] ---**
Please stop defiling that dead man's body!
**[10:51] ---**
I was also disgusted when Tenzen
placed Kasumi Gyobu for all to see
**[10:58] ---**
on the border bridge...
**[11:01] ---**
He may be our enemy,
**[11:03] ---**
but he was skilled enough
to kill Koshiro before he died...
**[11:07] ---**
Don't you think insulting that
would be insulting Koshiro too?
**[11:16] ---**
Plus, the fact that he stood even in death
**[11:20] ---**
means he must have had
strong attachment to someone...
**[11:26] ---**
Don't you agree?
**[11:32] ---**
What about Tenzen?
**[11:36] ---**
Don't tell me Tenzen was also--
**[11:39] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*? Absurd.
**[11:43] ---**
That is all but impossible.
**[12:00] ---**
Saemon-*dono*, are you certain Tenzen is dead?
**[12:04] ---**
Of course I am.
He was definitely no longer alive.
**[12:10] ---**
What nonsense are they spouting?
**[12:15] ---**
We cannot miss this chance to strike the Iga!
**[12:21] ---**
*Oboro...*
**[12:25] ---**
Wait!
**[12:27] ---**
What are you doing, Saemon-*dono*?!
**[12:29] ---**
People are coming from the east.
**[12:31] ---**
A suspicious number for this hour...
**[12:43] ---**
"Hattori Hanzo Residence"
**[12:45] ---**
Father.
**[12:46] ---**
Have you heard about
Ofuku-*sama*'s secret departure for Ise?
**[12:53] ---**
Is that why you've returned?
**[12:55] ---**
She most likely intends to
participate in this ninja war...
**[12:59] ---**
Please send men at once.
**[13:00] ---**
Let her be.
**[13:03] ---**
Father?
**[13:10] ---**
Please rest in peace, Koshiro-*dono*...
**[13:31] ---**
Who goes there?!
**[13:38] ---**
W-What is this?!
**[13:40] ---**
Bandits! Careful, men!
**[13:44] ---**
Eh?!
**[13:46] ---**
We are on our way to Sunpu,
by request of the retired leyasu-*sama*!
**[13:52] ---**
And who are you?!
**[13:57] ---**
W-What?!
**[13:58] ---**
The retired shogun?!
**[14:00] ---**
What nonsense! His name
is not one to be used lightly!
**[14:04] ---**
Who are you?!
**[14:06] ---**
Warriors of Tsubagakure, in Iga.
**[14:09] ---**
Iga?!
**[14:10] ---**
What?! What did you just say?!
**[14:18] ---**
Did you just say Iga Tsubagakure?!
**[14:32] ---**
Ofuku-*sama*!
**[14:33] ---**
'Tis all right. Stand down.
**[14:39] ---**
Might you be the Iga clansmen
who are fighting the Kouga
**[14:45] ---**
now that the Hattori Hanzo
pact has been nullified?
**[14:49] ---**
Who are you?
**[14:51] ---**
I am Ofuku, nurse to Takechiyo-*sama*,
son of the shogun.
**[15:02] ---**
Might your names be Oboro and Akeginu?
**[15:07] ---**
Eh?!
**[15:08] ---**
How do you know that?!
**[15:10] ---**
Oh, so I was right!
**[15:12] ---**
The old shogun gave the names of
Iga-no-Ogen's ten most prized ninja.
**[15:20] ---**
You are vital in that you are fighting
for Takechiyo-*sama*'s succession.
**[15:34] ---**
Incidentally...
**[15:35] ---**
To whom does this corpse belong?
**[15:38] ---**
This man is Muroga Hyoma,
from Kouga Manjidani.
**[15:45] ---**
Oh! A Kouga, you say?!
**[15:48] ---**
Splendidly done!
**[15:50] ---**
So, Iga woman, where are
the rest of your comrades?
**[16:00] ---**
They are all dead.
**[16:04] ---**
That can't be!
**[16:06] ---**
Only a few days have passed
since the pact was annulled!
**[16:41] ---**
Please tell us...
**[16:44] ---**
What do you mean
**[16:47] ---**
when you say we're fighting
for Takechiyo-*sama*?
**[16:53] ---**
What?!
**[16:56] ---**
You don't mean...
**[16:59] ---**
You've been fighting the Kouga
without even knowing why?
**[17:07] ---**
Very well...
**[17:11] ---**
I will tell you just how important
of a mission your battle is...
**[17:21] ---**
You're truly not concerned about Ofuku-*sama*?
**[17:26] ---**
If we leave her alone,
she may cause unnecessary trouble...
**[17:29] ---**
Quite the opposite.
**[17:32] ---**
I'm leaving Ofuku alone to
*prevent* unnecessary trouble.
**[17:41] ---**
Ofuku was once the second
wife of Inaba Sadonokami,
**[17:45] ---**
but she eventually learned that her
husband had a child with a mistress.
**[17:50] ---**
To force him to admit it,
she invited them over while he was away
**[17:53] ---**
and then suddenly stabbed
mother and child to death.
**[17:59] ---**
Then, as if nothing had happened
at all, she sped off in her palanquin.
**[18:07] ---**
She is the type who gets
more riled up and defiant
**[18:12] ---**
the more you get in her way.
**[18:15] ---**
Leaving her alone is the best option,
as it will cause the least trouble.
**[18:20] ---**
But, Father...
**[18:21] ---**
Kyohachiro.
**[18:23] ---**
As the fourth generation Hanzo
Masahiro, I guarantee you this.
**[18:27] ---**
Whatever shrewd scheme Ofuku concocts,
**[18:31] ---**
no common interloper will
have an effect on this ninja battle.
**[18:46] ---**
It's a truly great honor, wouldn't you agree?
**[18:53] ---**
Oboro. Akeginu. Might I ask
you to accompany me to Sunpu?
**[19:00] ---**
No, I *insist* that you accompany me!
**[19:05] ---**
*For Takechiyo-sama's sake,
I mustnotlet these two die!*
**[19:12] ---**
What do you say?
I promise you won't regret it.
**[19:18] ---**
The anti-war pact negotiated by
the Hattori house has been nullified.
**[19:24] ---**
But I do not wish to fight,
nor do I know the reason for fighting.
**[19:32] ---**
Therefore, I intend to visit Sunpu at once
**[19:35] ---**
to appeal to the retired
shogun and Hattori-*dono*.
**[19:40] ---**
We will go to Sunpu.
**[19:42] ---**
Oh! That's wonderful!
**[19:44] ---**
Oboro-*sama*! We can't just
let the Kouga go now!
**[19:48] ---**
No, we will not let the Kouga get away!
**[19:52] ---**
Nor will I let either of you die!
**[19:57] ---**
*Indeed, having Oboro-sama go to
Sunpu might be our best plan now...*
**[20:07] ---**
*And then I can...*
**[20:12] ---**
*We could meet the retired shogun
and Hattori-sama at Sunpu...*
**[20:18] ---**
*Then, even if it costs me my life,
we can reinstate the anti-war pact...*
**[20:38] ---**
So this *ninpou* war is actually
to decide the Tokugawa successor...
**[20:44] ---**
How utterly amusing...
**[20:49] ---**
So that's why...
**[20:54] ---**
So that's how it is...
**[22:31] ---**
*The mist of sorrow softly touches
these lips blotted with red droplets*
**[22:42] ---**
*The mirror in the sky beautifully
illuminates the distance in the night*
**[22:53] ---**
*Giving more than a passing thought
to the myriad of showering stars*
**[22:59] ---**
*gently, the cords of a deep bond
firmly, firmly bind them*
**[23:08] ---**
*Those beautiful eyes that
sparkle with a lazuline hue...*
**[23:14] ---**
*Even if they wind up closed
by a harbinger from the darkness,*
**[23:20] ---**
*since no one can steal
the bridge of connected dreams*
**[23:28] ---**
*they still reflect the limitless tomorrow*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next Time"
**[23:52] ---**
*A woman waits silently on
the Imure Bridge at dusk.*
**[23:56] ---**
*Destruction cuts through the funeral
mist and pierces a brilliant chest.*
**[24:02] ---**
*A small bit of pity is felt,
as the enemy's humanity is seen.*
**[24:07] ---**
*Red threads trail the water's surface...*
**[24:11] ---**
*On the next Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:*
**[24:13] ---**
*"Flowing Mercy."*

**[00:19] ---**
There were people who loathed one other.
**[00:24] ---**
Their corpses withered in the fields,
their souls soaked in blood...
**[00:31] ---**
And their bonds were broken by blades...
**[00:50] ---**
Collapsed in the darkness,
their sincerity wails...
**[00:56] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:03] ---**
"My beloved, please die..."
**[01:34] ---**
*Clouds shroud a night with a waning
moon quivering in the haze*
**[01:45] ---**
*A cruel trap involving
a pair of crucified fledglings*
**[01:56] ---**
*Oh, since smoldering feelings
lie firmly in their hearts...*
**[02:08] ---**
*...destruction!*
**[02:08] ---**
*Gently as the water, severely as a flower*
**[02:14] ---**
*pierce with a trembling blade*
**[02:18] ---**
*Even when I shut the fated
tears deep within my eyes*
**[02:25] ---**
*my eyelids still remember you*
**[02:42] ---**
"Flowing Mercy"
**[03:10] ---**
Pardon my intrusion.
**[03:13] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*...
**[03:23] ---**
Ogen-*sama*. You called for me?
**[03:29] ---**
Tenzen... Where were
you when Oda invaded?
**[03:37] ---**
I am truly shameful.
**[03:40] ---**
I died quickly, upon taking a bullet.
**[03:48] ---**
Incidentally, Ogen-*sama*.
**[03:50] ---**
I hear you failed to kill Kouga Danjo...
**[03:56] ---**
But in your condition,
I suppose it couldn't be helped.
**[04:01] ---**
We are the clan's
banners, Ogen-*sama*.
**[04:05] ---**
The fact that Kouga Danjo
survived after breaking your heart
**[04:12] ---**
has solidified the Iga's unity all the more.
**[04:19] ---**
I take my leave.
**[04:28] ---**
Tenzen...
**[04:33] ---**
Are you...
**[04:43] ---**
Old woman. I will not
repeat the regret of that day.
**[04:52] ---**
I will have Oboro-*sama* bury
Kouga Gennosuke by her own hand!
**[05:25] ---**
Such a dreadful sound...
**[05:28] ---**
It may be that those
who've died are cursing us...
**[05:35] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[05:37] ---**
Has your heart been swayed
upon knowing the scheme of things?
**[05:46] ---**
There is no stopping it now.
**[05:50] ---**
Much blood has already been shed.
**[05:53] ---**
Until either the Kouga or Iga
is ruined, it will probably never end.
**[06:07] ---**
What has Gennosuke-*sama* decided?
**[06:08] ---**
He's decided to stay
hidden for the time being.
**[06:12] ---**
Now that the Iga are
protected by the Tokugawa side,
**[06:16] ---**
we cannot continue as we have been.
**[06:18] ---**
But Gennosuke-*sama
*already made up his mind
**[06:21] ---**
to slay Oboro and the Iga...
**[06:26] ---**
That is precisely why.
**[06:28] ---**
As our leader, he must survive
and fulfill our true objective.
**[06:38] ---**
Look, Kagero.
**[06:42] ---**
When this sun rises, then sets...
**[06:45] ---**
How many more lives will have ended?
**[06:52] ---**
If I'm to die in this form,
**[06:54] ---**
then may it serve as a gift for the
Kougas waiting on the other side...
**[07:01] ---**
Saemon-*dono*...
**[07:22] ---**
Oboro-*sama*!
**[07:23] ---**
Oboro-*sama*! You must stay inside!
**[07:26] ---**
I wish to walk, Akeginu.
**[07:30] ---**
I wish to step into this ground myself.
**[07:34] ---**
I do not want to forget...
**[07:38] ---**
...that we are alive.
**[07:44] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[07:45] ---**
There's no telling when
the Kouga might attack!
**[07:49] ---**
Consider your safety!
**[07:51] ---**
We depart immediately!
Get to your positions!
**[07:54] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[08:13] ---**
She hasn't even touched her dinner...
**[08:16] ---**
No matter. Just as long as she
lives until the successor is chosen...
**[08:30] ---**
Where do you think you're going?!
**[08:36] ---**
An important person is staying here tonight.
**[08:39] ---**
Go try another inn.
**[08:43] ---**
And who is this "important person"?
**[08:45] ---**
That's none of your business!
**[08:47] ---**
Now get the hell out of here!
**[08:55] ---**
--W-Why, you!
**[08:56] ---**
--A bandit!
**[09:12] ---**
Come forth, men! We have
a troublemaker on our hands!
**[09:25] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[09:27] ---**
Wait! It's not what you think!
**[09:30] ---**
This man is on our side!
**[09:43] ---**
My apologies, Tenzen-*sama*.
**[09:45] ---**
I informed them in advance, but...
**[09:51] ---**
These are the retainers to Ofuku-*sama*,
**[09:54] ---**
who is nurse to
Takechiyo-*sama*, son of the shogun.
**[10:00] ---**
The shogun, you say?
**[10:02] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*! Please see Ofuku-*sama*!
**[10:06] ---**
She'll explain why we're here...
**[10:09] ---**
No... There is no time for that.
**[10:13] ---**
I've found Kagero, of the Kouga group.
**[10:18] ---**
She seems to be waiting for
someone at the Imure Bridge.
**[10:22] ---**
Most likely Kouga Gennosuke
or Kisaragi Saemon, no doubt.
**[10:29] ---**
If it's a Kouga you found, we can help!
**[10:32] ---**
Leave the Kouga to us.
**[10:36] ---**
They are far beyond your skill.
**[10:40] ---**
Moreover, the honor of
the Iga would be tarnished
**[10:45] ---**
if someone else handled them...
**[10:54] ---**
It was Kagero who killed Koshiro...
**[11:00] ---**
I-I thought Koshiro-*dono* and
Muroga Hyoma killed each other?
**[11:07] ---**
Not so.
**[11:09] ---**
This Kagero girl's sighs supposedly
turn to poison when with a man...
**[11:17] ---**
Koshiro's body had
no wounds, correct?
**[11:22] ---**
Her technique has no effect
on women. Which is why you must--
**[11:28] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[11:31] ---**
Please give me a moment.
**[11:35] ---**
Akeginu?
**[12:01] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*!
**[12:05] ---**
Akeginu. Is that...
**[12:09] ---**
Please forgive me, Tenzen-*sama*!
**[12:12] ---**
Although he's a bitter rival,
he's still dear to Oboro-*sama*!
**[12:15] ---**
At least allow her a memento...
**[12:26] ---**
Very well...
**[12:31] ---**
I will pretend I never saw it.
**[12:50] ---**
So this "Ofuku" intends
to slay the Kouga herself?
**[12:56] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[12:58] ---**
What foolishness!
**[13:00] ---**
This war for succession
is of no concern to us.
**[13:05] ---**
Only the end of the long-held grudge
between Iga and Kouga matters.
**[13:11] ---**
Do you not agree?
**[13:14] ---**
Enlisting outside help will prevent
the fallen from resting in peace.
**[13:22] ---**
I've always...
I've always felt that way, too!
**[13:27] ---**
Until we've slaughtered
every last Kouga...
**[13:32] ---**
...the Igas' war...
and my war... will not end!
**[13:37] ---**
Except...
**[13:40] ---**
Except, I want
the blind Oboro-*sama* to--
**[13:44] ---**
I want to deliver
Oboro-sama safely to Sunpu...
**[13:55] ---**
What strange people they are...
**[13:59] ---**
I'd rather not get involved with ninjas,
but it's Ofuku-*sama*'s orders...
**[14:09] ---**
Y-Y-You're--?!
**[14:40] ---**
Kouga Gennosuke's bamboo flute...
**[14:42] ---**
Eh?
**[14:43] ---**
Did you bring it from Tsubagakure?
**[14:46] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[14:48] ---**
I believe it is Kouga Gennosuke's symbol
**[14:52] ---**
of his parting with Oboro-*sama*.
**[14:55] ---**
Then why did you
look after it so carefully?
**[15:01] ---**
I'd think it would be the perfect
item to break her attachment to him...
**[15:08] ---**
Well, you see...
**[15:10] ---**
There is truly nothing as
unfathomable as a person's heart...
**[15:17] ---**
...much less the heart of an enemy.
**[15:20] ---**
However much one might feel,
there will be no answer.
**[15:28] ---**
What's wrong?
**[15:29] ---**
N-Nothing...
**[15:33] ---**
Let us go, Akeginu.
**[15:37] ---**
Yes...
**[15:55] ---**
Gennosuke not here yet?
**[16:08] ---**
I challenge you!
**[16:11] ---**
It is you I have been waiting for, Akeginu.
**[16:21] ---**
Kagero!
**[16:30] ---**
*Ogen-sama...
Rosai-dono... Nenki-dono...*
**[16:32] ---**
*Jingoro-dono...
Hotarubi... Yashamaru-dono!*
**[16:37] ---**
I will avenge Koshiro!
**[17:02] ---**
Die, Kagero!
**[17:07] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*?!
**[17:34] ---**
Oboro will join you soon!
**[17:37] ---**
You can use that blood of
yours to usher her into Hell!
**[18:27] ---**
*Whether a Kouga or an Iga,
a person is a person...*
**[18:31] ---**
*We must break the shackles of this
grudge and open our clouded eyes.*
**[18:38] ---**
*Even one Iga would be enough.*
**[18:41] ---**
*Getting close comes first.*
**[18:46] ---**
At this point, there is no
means to get to know them...
**[18:53] ---**
Kagero... We...
**[18:57] ---**
You lured her out perfectly,
Saemon-*dono*!
**[19:02] ---**
That just leaves Oboro now!
**[19:06] ---**
Saemon-*dono*.
Allow me the role of slaying her!
**[19:13] ---**
I'm told Oboro's eyes are sealed shut.
**[19:55] ---**
Then we'll do it that way.
**[20:20] ---**
Oh, if it isn't Ofuku-*dono'*s
retainers. I apologize for earlier.
**[20:30] ---**
I grew up almost like a monkey
in the mountains of Iga, you see.
**[20:35] ---**
I did not mean to act rudely...
**[20:38] ---**
Where is Akeginu-*dono*?
**[20:42] ---**
Akeginu left in pursuit of Kouga
Gennosuke, the Kouga leader.
**[20:49] ---**
What?!
**[20:50] ---**
And then?!
**[20:52] ---**
He was seriously wounded
**[20:56] ---**
and will likely die a dog's death,
**[20:59] ---**
but she went to make certain of it.
**[21:03] ---**
According to Akeginu-*dono*,
**[21:06] ---**
there
is another with the Kouga group.
**[21:09] ---**
A woman by the name of Kagero...
**[21:13] ---**
She has been tamed.
**[21:19] ---**
Tamed, you say?
**[21:21] ---**
I caught her alive and
made her my woman.
**[21:26] ---**
After which, she switched sides
to join the Iga, oddly enough...
**[21:34] ---**
That is very impressive of you...
**[21:38] ---**
And your skill earlier...
**[21:41] ---**
What a truly reassuring ally you are...
**[21:47] ---**
Incidentally, Yakushiji Tenzen-*dono*...
**[21:51] ---**
Akeginu-dono has also told me...
**[21:59] ---**
...that you cannot die,
no matter what injuries you incur.
**[22:06] ---**
That you are an immortal shinobi...
**[22:10] ---**
What?!

I'm told you are an immortal
*shinobi* who cannot die,

no matter what injuries you incur...
**[03:03] ---**
What?!
**[03:06] ---**
*Immortal?!*
**[03:09] ---**
Supposedly, burning you in bright
red flames or removing your head
**[03:15] ---**
are the only ways of possibly killing you...
**[03:18] ---**
*Tenzen... can't die?!*
**[03:22] ---**
Don't tell me you've been killed?!
**[03:25] ---**
Tenzen-*sama*? Absurd.
**[03:30] ---**
That is all but impossible.
**[03:35] ---**
And it was Akeginu who said this?
**[03:39] ---**
It was.
**[03:40] ---**
One of the Iga Ten, revealing
a *shinobi* technique to an outsider...
**[03:46] ---**
*He wasn't dead then?!*
**[03:50] ---**
A special skill that closes any
wound whatsoever and allows one
**[03:54] ---**
to simply "wake up" alive again...
**[03:57] ---**
How I'd love to see such a thing myself!
**[04:21] ---**
Then let us give it a try.
**[04:39] ---**
Y-Yakushiji... Tenzen!
**[04:47] ---**
I thought that was *your* name?
**[04:52] ---**
How? You were most definitely...
**[04:57] ---**
Such injuries are like mere
flea bites to an immortal body!
**[05:37] ---**
There was once an Iga who
wielded a technique like yours.
**[05:42] ---**
During the Tenshou battle,
he completely deceived the Kouga
**[05:48] ---**
by transforming into
the retired leader of Manjidani...
**[05:53] ---**
T-The Tenshou--
**[05:58] ---**
D-Damn you...
**[06:27] ---**
Kisaragi Saemon...
**[06:29] ---**
You did well, until you
transformed into me...
**[06:57] ---**
Is that you, Kagero?
**[06:59] ---**
Yes.
**[07:02] ---**
"Akeginu"
**[07:08] ---**
I've slain Iga-no-Oboro...
**[07:20] ---**
I see. Well done.
**[07:26] ---**
Are you all right?
**[07:29] ---**
Yes...
**[07:32] ---**
Saemon-*dono* has also
successfully infiltrated Ofuku's party.
**[07:48] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[07:52] ---**
Once this war is over...
**[07:56] ---**
...I would like to be by your side...
**[08:01] ---**
It doesn't matter that we
can never touch each other.
**[08:05] ---**
Just please let me take care of you...
**[08:13] ---**
Is this a wish that can never be granted?
**[08:19] ---**
Are you certain that is what you want?
**[08:23] ---**
Yes. If the Iga's ruin will bring
even further solidity to the Tokugawa,
**[08:31] ---**
there will be no need for
*shinobi* in a truly peaceful world.
**[08:34] ---**
There will be no need to pass on this blood.
**[08:38] ---**
Devoting myself entirely to you...
**[08:42] ---**
...is my life's one true desire!
**[08:58] ---**
Only one remains of the Iga Ten.
**[09:06] ---**
*Oboro...*
**[09:08] ---**
*I will slay you, by my own hand!*
**[09:16] ---**
So you've already heard?
**[09:19] ---**
*Shinobi* are said never to reveal
their techniques to outsiders, but...
**[09:25] ---**
Oh, how careless of me.
**[09:28] ---**
I have not been an Iga
*shinobi* for very long at all.
**[09:35] ---**
It was a mere 180 years ago that
I found myself in Iga Tsubagakure.
**[09:41] ---**
I am still but a hatchling.
**[09:46] ---**
I see! I suppose that isn't
very long for an immortal at all!
**[09:53] ---**
I'm certain it served as a good
memory for the slaughtered Kouga...
**[09:59] ---**
Still, some claim to have seen
the cut on your cheek close right up.
**[10:13] ---**
It seems many of your retainers
have never killed a person before.
**[10:20] ---**
I can only assume they imagined
things amidst their bewilderment.
**[10:33] ---**
Ofuku-*dono*.
**[10:35] ---**
At Maisaka, or perhaps Hamamatsu,
a Kouga woman will call on me.
**[10:43] ---**
Please have your retainers
nonchalantly grant her entrance.
**[10:50] ---**
Understood.
**[11:01] ---**
What an eerie man...
**[11:20] ---**
Akeginu...
**[11:22] ---**
Please come back, Akeginu...
**[11:57] ---**
*Saemon-dono...*
**[11:59] ---**
*It looks like you've done well...*
**[12:12] ---**
*Violating her made her switch sides, huh...*
**[12:23] ---**
"Hamamatsu Inns"
**[13:01] ---**
Saemon-*dono*...
**[13:04] ---**
What happened with Oboro?
**[13:10] ---**
Come near, Kagero.
**[13:13] ---**
We are being watched.
**[13:15] ---**
Watched? I thought they were just lechers.
**[13:19] ---**
Do they suspect you?!
**[13:21] ---**
Not me. It is you she does not trust.
**[13:26] ---**
You mean Oboro?!
**[13:28] ---**
Oboro does not know how to suspect people.
**[13:31] ---**
Then who?!
**[13:32] ---**
Ofuku.
**[13:34] ---**
She says a Kouga would never
switch sides to the Iga so easily.
**[13:53] ---**
If I say I won you over
by taking your chastity,
**[13:56] ---**
she will claim that I have
actually fallen into your trap.
**[14:02] ---**
She is a most disbelieving woman.
**[14:06] ---**
T-Then... why was I allowed to come here?
**[14:10] ---**
They are uncertain.
**[14:13] ---**
Kagero.
**[14:14] ---**
S-Saemon-*dono*?
**[14:16] ---**
We must first make them trust you.
**[14:23] ---**
Saemon-*dono*! What are you--
**[14:28] ---**
I pretended that I made
you my woman at Komabano.
**[14:36] ---**
But to truly earn
the trust of Ofuku's party,
**[14:41] ---**
we must show it was no lie!
**[14:56] ---**
Saemon-*dono*!
**[14:58] ---**
Kagero!
**[15:00] ---**
S-Saemon-*dono*! My... breath...
**[15:05] ---**
Oh, out of breath? Give them
an earful of your flowery sweet sighs!
**[15:13] ---**
Crying out will do just fine, too...
**[15:17] ---**
*No...*
**[15:19] ---**
*This isn't Saemon-dono!*
**[15:22] ---**
*This man is...*
**[15:25] ---**
*...Yakushiji Tenzen!*
**[15:30] ---**
*How can he...*
**[15:33] ---**
*...be alive?!*
**[15:39] ---**
Saemon-*dono*...
**[15:43] ---**
*So you've been slain, Saemon-*dono*?!*
**[15:48] ---**
*Damn you...*
**[15:50] ---**
*Damn you, Tenzen!*
**[16:17] ---**
Kagero...
**[16:18] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama...*
**[16:27] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama...*
**[16:43] ---**
Kagero...
**[17:31] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*?!
**[17:37] ---**
Is Tenzen-*dono*--
**[17:39] ---**
What has happened?!
**[17:41] ---**
Ofuku-*sama*! Terrible news!
**[17:44] ---**
T-The Kouga girl has
killed Yakushiji Tenzen-*dono*!
**[17:47] ---**
What?!
**[17:49] ---**
Does she carry the roster?!
**[17:52] ---**
No!
**[17:58] ---**
Oboro! Take this wench's life!
**[18:01] ---**
Oboro?
**[18:04] ---**
Oboro! Enlisting the help of
outsiders for the Iga-Kouga war...
**[18:09] ---**
Have you no shame as a *shinobi*?!
**[18:15] ---**
So you sealed your own eyes...
**[18:18] ---**
And you call yourself the leader
of Tsubagakure? Hilarious!
**[18:25] ---**
Listen closely.
**[18:28] ---**
I lied to Gennosuke-*sama
*and said that I killed you.
**[18:34] ---**
Do you have any idea
what his reply was, Oboro?
**[18:50] ---**
"Well done," I assume?
**[19:00] ---**
Oboro!
**[19:02] ---**
Even if you're protected
by iron walls, I won't rest--
**[19:06] ---**
I won't rest until I've taken your life!
**[19:10] ---**
Oboro! Silence her at once!
**[19:14] ---**
I order you to kill her this instant!
**[19:18] ---**
I will not.
**[19:21] ---**
*Not* killing her may be for the best...
**[19:25] ---**
Why is that?!
**[19:26] ---**
Because
**[19:28] ---**
if we use this Kagero as bait,
Kouga Gennosuke *will* appear.
**[19:35] ---**
If we do not slay him and retrieve
the roster before we arrive at Sunpu,
**[19:41] ---**
we cannot declare that
the Iga have won this *ninpou* war.
**[19:52] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama...*
**[20:13] ---**
No thanks.
**[20:18] ---**
You have real talent.
**[20:22] ---**
Mister...
**[20:26] ---**
Can you play good?
**[20:30] ---**
What is your name, little boy?
**[20:32] ---**
Shinnosuke.
**[20:34] ---**
Ah. Mine is Gennosuke.
**[20:38] ---**
We're almost the same.
**[20:40] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[20:43] ---**
May I play?
**[20:45] ---**
If you can play it like my dad did...
**[20:49] ---**
A memento of your father, huh?

**[03:18] ---**
Fool.
**[03:43] ---**
C'mon, let me have a turn now!
**[03:49] ---**
Hey!
**[03:53] ---**
W-What in the...
**[05:02] ---**
It's kill or be killed...
**[05:10] ---**
The Kouga... and I... win!
**[05:17] ---**
Die, Oboro!
**[05:27] ---**
"West Oigawa"
**[05:28] ---**
What's this?
**[05:30] ---**
Someone read it.
**[05:31] ---**
Let's see here...
**[05:33] ---**
"Where have you fled to, Kouga Gennosuke?
**[05:37] ---**
Kagero is in my hands.
**[05:40] ---**
I shall take her head
**[05:43] ---**
after a day or two
of our special Iga torture.
**[05:50] ---**
If you are truly the leader
of Kouga Manjidani,
**[05:53] ---**
you will leave your hole and rescue her.
**[05:58] ---**
If you do not have the skill for that,
bring the ninja roster to us.
**[06:07] ---**
Do so, and I will drag both
you and Kagero to Sunpu alive.
**[06:14] ---**
From Iga-no-Oboro."
**[06:19] ---**
What is this?
**[06:20] ---**
I saw the same notice board in Kanaya!
**[06:25] ---**
Talk about creepy...
**[06:26] ---**
Heaven help us!
**[06:40] ---**
"Tokaido Road - Fujieda Inns"
**[07:53] ---**
"Iga"
**[08:13] ---**
Your Kouga leader
certainly is heartless, Kagero...
**[08:20] ---**
I was completely taken in.
**[08:23] ---**
To think your sweet breath
would transform into poison...
**[08:44] ---**
Oboro-*dono*!
**[08:57] ---**
*Tenzen...*
**[09:16] ---**
You're not exactly Oboro-*sama*,
but now I regret this war somewhat.
**[09:23] ---**
I would've liked to take you again,
even if it meant a few days of death.
**[09:33] ---**
Just... kill me...
**[09:37] ---**
Do not be so impatient.
That would be a real waste.
**[09:42] ---**
We needn't rush; by tomorrow morning,
**[09:47] ---**
you will no longer be living.
**[09:54] ---**
*Stop! Please stop, Tenzen!*
**[10:36] ---**
Tenzen!
**[10:37] ---**
You made it here all by yourself?
**[10:40] ---**
You're finally starting
to act like a *shinobi*...
**[10:45] ---**
For heaven's sake, Tenzen!
Please stop this!
**[10:49] ---**
I... I cannot bear it!
**[10:54] ---**
Oboro-*sama*...
**[10:57] ---**
I am struck with great admiration.
**[11:01] ---**
Using this girl as bait
to lure out Kouga Gennosuke...
**[11:07] ---**
That was truly an excellent idea!
**[11:10] ---**
Ofuku-*dono* was deeply impressed, as well.
**[11:14] ---**
"What a true ninja leader...
**[11:16] ---**
...an adorable face,
but a cold-blooded mind."
**[11:25] ---**
At least...
**[11:27] ---**
At least show mercy and let her die now...
**[11:32] ---**
Mercy...
**[11:33] ---**
This is a living hell...
**[11:36] ---**
She may be our foe,
but she is still a person.
**[11:39] ---**
Show *some* pity for her!
**[11:41] ---**
Mercy? Pity?
**[11:45] ---**
Ironically, these are words oft heard
from *shinobi's* mouths these days,
**[11:50] ---**
but I haven't the faintest understanding
of what these words mean...
**[12:24] ---**
T-Tenzen?!
**[12:28] ---**
W-What are you doing?!
**[12:31] ---**
Changing my plans.
**[12:37] ---**
It seems this girl's breath only
becomes poison when she is excited.
**[12:46] ---**
We will let her watch us having intercourse,
**[12:53] ---**
and once she begins to exude poison,
you will use your piercing eyes.
**[12:56] ---**
Tenzen! You're a horrifying man!
**[13:01] ---**
'Tis another shrewd way for me to
enjoy Kagero again without dying.
**[13:07] ---**
Have you no shame?!
**[13:11] ---**
I won't let you! Besides, my eyes are still--
**[13:15] ---**
Oboro-*sama*, how many nights has
it been since we left Tsubagakure?
**[13:22] ---**
The Iga have clearly won the war.
**[13:25] ---**
So let us arrive at Sunpu
tomorrow as husband and wife!
**[13:31] ---**
No! No!
**[13:33] ---**
Stop! Stop, Tenzen!
**[14:03] ---**
Yakushiji Tenzen...
**[14:13] ---**
How are you still alive?
**[14:24] ---**
Why am I alive, you ask?
**[14:32] ---**
Isn't it obvious?!
**[14:37] ---**
To slay *you*, of course!
**[14:46] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[14:49] ---**
Isn't this wonderful, Oboro-*sama*?
**[14:53] ---**
Kouga Gennosuke fell right
into the trap that *you* set!
**[15:04] ---**
You look so happy...
**[15:07] ---**
Coming up with cunning
plans together was worth it...
**[15:15] ---**
Now just leave everything to me.
**[15:43] ---**
So Muroga Hyoma taught you...
**[15:48] ---**
But without your *Dojutsu*,
**[15:52] ---**
you're even inferior to
the gutless Tokugawa samurai.
**[16:18] ---**
Too slow!
**[16:45] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*?!
**[17:27] ---**
How are you feeling, Gennosuke?
**[17:31] ---**
Plead for your life.
**[17:33] ---**
Depending on your attitude,
**[17:36] ---**
I just might be kind enough
to drag you to Sunpu half-alive,
**[17:39] ---**
and then, after our audience
with the retired shogun,
**[17:42] ---**
I might let you stay beside Oboro-*sama
*and me for as long as you live.
**[17:50] ---**
'Tis not a bad offer, but...
**[17:56] ---**
Oboro-*sama*.
**[17:59] ---**
You spoke earlier of a living hell.
**[18:09] ---**
But if there truly is a hell,
**[18:14] ---**
then this void I've lived in for
200 years after being born from death,
**[18:20] ---**
with no hope for salvation
or deliverance whatsoever...
**[18:28] ---**
...*is* that hell!
**[19:18] ---**
Kouga scum!
**[19:38] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*?!
**[19:51] ---**
This is the end, Gennosuke.
**[19:56] ---**
Tenzen...
**[19:58] ---**
I refuse to hear your last words.
**[20:00] ---**
What do you harbor in your body?
**[20:15] ---**
Their hatred for the Kouga
became a hazy, blind belief,
**[20:20] ---**
and eventually, it began to wane...
**[20:25] ---**
Very few of them had
suffered themselves, you see...
**[20:33] ---**
Damn you...
**[20:35] ---**
Don't tell me you...
**[20:39] ---**
...framed the Kouga?
**[20:46] ---**
During the Tenshou battle,
you plotted something...
**[20:53] ---**
The Iga were on the verge of destruction.
**[20:57] ---**
But it was also a very rare opportunity.
**[21:01] ---**
Had I not capitalized on the Oda raid,
the people of Tsubagakure
**[21:06] ---**
might have become bound by
Kouga Danjo and Ogen-*sama*'s relations.
**[21:14] ---**
Though the first
Hattori Hanzo's anti-war pact
**[21:18] ---**
was a grave miscalculation on my part.
**[21:34] ---**
Grandmother... and Danjo-*sama*...
**[21:39] ---**
Tenzen... You fooled both houses together...
**[21:44] ---**
I fooled no one. I simply made sure
neither side forgot whom to hate.
**[21:58] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[22:04] ---**
Iga and Kouga...
**[22:06] ---**
The victor shall be decided here!

**[03:02] ---**
Do not loathe me.
**[03:06] ---**
If you loathe anyone, it should be Tokugawa.
**[03:10] ---**
Loathe the retired shogun in Sunpu...
**[03:13] ---**
Loathe the world's greatest succession war...
**[03:17] ---**
And...
**[03:21] ---**
...curse yourself for being born a Kouga!
**[03:25] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[03:29] ---**
It has been a long time...
**[03:38] ---**
At last, this day has come...
**[03:54] ---**
*Hyoma...*
**[04:32] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[04:36] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[04:41] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[05:04] ---**
Ge--
**[05:07] ---**
Gennosuke...
**[05:35] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*?!
**[05:41] ---**
Oboro-*dono*...
**[05:45] ---**
Yes...
**[05:47] ---**
A sword...
**[05:51] ---**
Do you have one?
**[05:59] ---**
What?! Oboro is gone?!
**[06:11] ---**
You heard people fighting?!
**[06:14] ---**
Then what are you
sitting there trembling for?!
**[06:19] ---**
What if the worst has happened?!
**[06:27] ---**
No... I do not have one...
**[06:32] ---**
Take his sword, Oboro-*dono*.
**[06:38] ---**
I must slay you.
**[06:45] ---**
And you must slay me.
**[06:49] ---**
You may be able to.
**[06:53] ---**
My eyes have been sealed shut.
**[06:57] ---**
I, too, have been blinded...
**[07:02] ---**
By an Iga?!
**[07:04] ---**
No. I sealed my own eyes shut...
**[07:09] ---**
I did not want to see the war
with the Manjidani clan...
**[07:16] ---**
Oboro-*dono*...
**[07:19] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[07:23] ---**
Please...
**[07:28] ---**
...kill me...
**[07:46] ---**
Before these eyes open...
**[07:57] ---**
Oboro-*dono*...
**[07:59] ---**
Yes...
**[08:00] ---**
I am the only Kouga left.
**[08:05] ---**
And I am the only Iga left...
**[08:12] ---**
Take the sword already, Oboro!
**[08:19] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*... Why?
**[08:22] ---**
Kagero!
**[08:24] ---**
Why won't you slay Oboro?!
**[08:30] ---**
The Kouga... Manjidani...
**[08:44] ---**
And even me...
**[08:47] ---**
Do you intend to betray us all?!
**[08:56] ---**
Kagero...
**[08:58] ---**
She lied to you and framed you!
**[09:04] ---**
She's Tsubagakure's...
**[09:07] ---**
I know.
**[09:10] ---**
Then you must hurry and...
**[09:30] ---**
Gennosuke...
**[09:35] ---**
Let us go...
**[09:54] ---**
*There is no safe refuge anywhere...*
**[10:03] ---**
*for either...*
**[10:07] ---**
*...of us...*
**[10:14] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*?!
**[10:16] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[10:25] ---**
Oboro...
**[10:30] ---**
May you be the only one who lives on...
**[10:41] ---**
Stop... Stop...
**[10:47] ---**
Stop!
**[10:49] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[11:08] ---**
*The poison... is disappearing...*
**[11:19] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[12:18] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama...*
**[12:21] ---**
Oboro...
**[12:24] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*!
**[12:25] ---**
Oboro...
**[12:30] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[12:32] ---**
I didn't...
**[12:35] ---**
I didn't want to kill anyone...
**[12:44] ---**
I didn't want anyone to die...
**[12:52] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[13:20] ---**
What happened here?!
**[13:22] ---**
It was a Kouga!
**[13:24] ---**
Kouga Gennosuke was here!
**[13:26] ---**
Tenzen-*dono*!
**[13:28] ---**
T-T-Tenzen-*dono* is dead again!
**[13:33] ---**
Quiet! Keep your calm!
**[13:47] ---**
Tenzen is an immortal ninja.
You all know that!
**[13:53] ---**
Someone sit him up.
**[13:56] ---**
And put the head back where it belongs!
**[14:06] ---**
What are you afraid of?!
**[14:08] ---**
This concerns the fate of Takechiyo-*sama*,
**[14:12] ---**
and thus the fates of
me and all of you as well!
**[14:16] ---**
U-Understood!
**[14:50] ---**
Oboro...
**[14:55] ---**
*Grandmother...*
**[15:00] ---**
Incidentally, Oboro...
**[15:04] ---**
Be wary of Yakushiji Tenzen.
**[15:11] ---**
You may not have seen it yet,
but his technique is one of immortality.
**[15:19] ---**
His is not *ninpou*, either...
**[15:23] ---**
Something has taken hold inside his body.
**[15:30] ---**
Not even I know what it is.
**[15:33] ---**
After all, the story behind it took
place long before I was ever born.
**[15:40] ---**
There is no need to make certain of it.
**[15:42] ---**
But, as I see it, what has
taken residence inside him is...
**[15:52] ---**
G-Grandmother?
**[15:54] ---**
No, pay no mind...
**[15:57] ---**
Forgive my blathering.
**[16:01] ---**
You've your whole life ahead of you.
There is no need for you to know.
**[16:10] ---**
Dear me... Even I've turned senile now...
**[16:17] ---**
*Grandmother...*
**[16:24] ---**
*Grandmother!*
**[16:33] ---**
O-Oboro...
**[16:49] ---**
Oboro? Your eyes have opened?!
**[17:25] ---**
H-Hey! Something's not right!
**[17:28] ---**
Tenzen-*dono*?!
**[17:49] ---**
Kouga... Gennosuke!
**[17:56] ---**
Behind Oboro... Beneath... the steps...
**[18:35] ---**
You've your whole life ahead of you...
**[18:50] ---**
There is no need for you to know...
**[18:56] ---**
We, the Kouga Manjidani Clan...
**[19:04] ---**
And you, the Iga Tsubagakure Clan...
**[19:25] ---**
Both sides, skilled with
terrifying secret *ninpou* arts,
**[19:33] ---**
have loathed one another under
the pretext of a long-standing hatred.
**[19:41] ---**
The very height of stupidity, I feel...
**[19:49] ---**
You've your whole life ahead of you...
**[19:54] ---**
I feel...
**[19:59] ---**
There is no need for you to know...
**[20:04] ---**
I didn't want to kill anyone...
**[20:10] ---**
Why...
**[20:13] ---**
Why?
**[20:16] ---**
Why?!
**[20:38] ---**
I-Is he dead?
**[20:49] ---**
Oboro...
**[20:53] ---**
Tenzen's words just now...
**[20:58] ---**
Yes, behind me lies
a wounded and poisoned Kouga...
**[21:06] ---**
Oh! Well done!
**[21:10] ---**
Killing an enemy who cannot fight...
**[21:15] ---**
...will bring no honor to the Iga.
**[21:19] ---**
W-What un-ninja-like nonsense is this?
**[21:28] ---**
Very well.
**[21:31] ---**
Send an urgent dispatch
to Hattori Hanzo-*dono*!
**[21:33] ---**
Understood!
**[21:35] ---**
Ready the horses!
**[21:36] ---**
Right!
**[21:40] ---**
We will hold a fair duel before
Hattori Hanzo-*dono*, referee of this war.
**[21:48] ---**
Any objections?
**[22:02] ---**
No objections...

*She hasn't changed a bit...*
**[02:15] ---**
Hey, Kouga.
**[02:23] ---**
We're at Hattori Hanzo-*sama*'s residence.
**[02:29] ---**
"Hattori Hanzo's Sunpu Residence"
**[02:41] ---**
Iga-no-Oboro, may I enter?
**[02:45] ---**
Yes.
**[03:02] ---**
I am Kyohachiro, son of the
second-generation Hanzo Masanari.
**[03:07] ---**
I am now son to the
fourth-generation Masahiro.
**[03:11] ---**
It is nice to meet you...
**[03:14] ---**
Oh. I guess you do not remember me...
**[03:39] ---**
All that has happened...
**[03:41] ---**
I can only assume you bear some hatred for us
**[03:45] ---**
for driving your clan
into the jaws of death...
**[03:53] ---**
It cannot be helped...
**[04:03] ---**
Where is your sword?
**[04:06] ---**
I do not have one...
**[04:09] ---**
I see...
**[04:13] ---**
Then take this.
**[04:17] ---**
It bears no name, but it is a fine sword.
**[04:26] ---**
I thank you.
**[04:32] ---**
Is there anything you would like?
**[04:54] ---**
How is Kouga Gennosuke?
**[04:56] ---**
Just barely conscious. However...
**[05:01] ---**
Then bring him quickly. He need simply stand.
**[05:06] ---**
Understood.
**[05:23] ---**
*Truly as quick as a whirlwind...*
**[05:26] ---**
*To think that such a tragic end
would come within a mere 10 days...*
**[05:36] ---**
"Kouga Gennosuke"
**[05:39] ---**
"Oboro"
**[06:13] ---**
*The harsh winter is ending at last...*
**[06:18] ---**
*How long I have looked
forward to this season...*
**[07:02] ---**
Oboro-*dono*.
**[08:40] ---**
No, it was very tranquil...
**[09:23] ---**
"West of Sunpu Castle - Abekawa River"
**[09:34] ---**
We were simply on our way to Ise.
**[09:37] ---**
It was just by sheer coincidence
that we became involved in this feud.
**[09:43] ---**
As you are the referee for this war,
**[09:48] ---**
we very much wanted you to see
**[09:51] ---**
that we've taken no part in this duel,
**[09:55] ---**
so that you may serve as
a witness for the retired shogun...
**[10:02] ---**
I understand.
**[10:05] ---**
K-Kouga Gennosuke has been
blinded and gravely injured by the Iga,
**[10:13] ---**
but that is just another part
of a *ninpou* battle, is it not?
**[10:18] ---**
Of course.
**[10:22] ---**
Your tedious speech just now...
**[10:26] ---**
It will make you appear all
the more suspicious, Ofuku-*dono*.
**[10:36] ---**
Is there anything you would like?
**[10:41] ---**
There is not much
I can do at this point, but...
**[10:47] ---**
There... is nothing.
**[10:51] ---**
I see...
**[11:03] ---**
Hattori-*sama*.
**[11:07] ---**
There *is* one thing...
**[11:10] ---**
There is one thing
I would like to ask of you...
**[11:20] ---**
I would like you to hold onto this...
**[11:30] ---**
An item associated
with the Tsubagakure Ten...
**[11:37] ---**
It is... our prayer.
**[11:48] ---**
I duly accept this.
**[11:51] ---**
If...
**[11:54] ---**
If I should fall...
**[11:59] ---**
That is quite unlikely to happen...
**[12:03] ---**
Judging from Kouga Gennosuke's condition...
**[12:10] ---**
Oboro, I ask that you send him
to the next world in one strike...
**[12:22] ---**
Yes...
**[12:47] ---**
*Gennosuke-sama...*
**[13:21] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[13:23] ---**
Oboro! Kill that Kouga this instant!
**[14:13] ---**
I love you...
**[14:16] ---**
Gennosuke-*sama*...
**[14:59] ---**
S-Someone! Someone slay Gennosuke!
**[15:04] ---**
Someone!
**[15:09] ---**
*Fool...*
**[16:48] ---**
Oboro...
**[17:14] ---**
Oboro...
**[17:25] ---**
Father...
**[17:27] ---**
Don't tell me those two are...
**[17:33] ---**
"Oboro"
**[17:37] ---**
Kyohachiro.
**[17:38] ---**
Right.
**[17:47] ---**
"The last one to write this...
**[17:56] ---**
...is the Iga ninja, Oboro."
**[18:04] ---**
*To think that the Iga,
and the Takechiyo faction,*
**[18:09] ---**
*would achieve a last-minute
victory in such a manner...*
**[18:13] ---**
We're done for... We're all done for...
**[18:19] ---**
*What devilish luck this woman has...*
**[18:28] ---**
The Iga have won. Go to the castle...
**[18:33] ---**
"The last one to write
this is the Iga ninja, Oboro."
**[18:46] ---**
*When the wind blows on us both...*
**[18:50] ---**
*When we both carve out a dream...*
**[18:55] ---**
*There is something that comes to my mind...*
**[19:02] ---**
*I wonder if you and I might
have been a single spirit long ago...*
**[19:12] ---**
*I wonder if the spirit was split
and now seeks to regain its true form...*
**[19:22] ---**
*And that's why I have
such strong feelings for you...*
**[19:29] ---**
*A spirit split in two would come together.*
**[19:37] ---**
*No matter how many shoals
or generations separate them...*
**[19:43] ---**
*...they will come together.*
**[19:52] ---**
They will...
**[20:46] ---**
*Melting away in the melody
you whisper in the twilight*
**[21:06] ---**
*I sense eternity in our attracting eyes*
**[21:17] ---**
*and life sprouts silently*
**[21:29] ---**
*The dew of emotions that dances
and flutters about in the spring wind*
**[21:41] ---**
*is a crumbling butterfly dream*

You're going to Aekuni Shrine?
**[22:07] ---**
Yes. I have an offering I wish to make.
**[22:15] ---**
There is no reason
for you to go personally...
**[22:18] ---**
It is something I really must deliver myself.
**[22:23] ---**
You're a truly laudable fellow...
