**[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.*
**[24:10] ---**
