[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

[01:56] ---
    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] ---
    "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.
