[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] ---
"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
[23:26] ---
is a crumbling butterfly dream
that wildly disturbs the path of the stars
[23:47] ---
"Next Time"
[23:51] ---
Crimson drops of blood
stain tender skin.
[23:54] ---
The boiling grudge eventually
becomes an eternal curse
[23:57] ---
and transforms a lovely
flower into an evil demon.
[24:00] ---
Like an appeal to unfounded irrationality,
the rain falls ever more.
[24:05] ---
The one whose light was stolen
[24:06] ---
finds a glimmer of salvation
at the depths of agony.
