[00:16] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani"
[00:57] ---
    No, uhh...
[01:06] ---
    Josuke!
[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] ---
    "Ephemeral Portrait of Days Gone By"
[02:54] ---
    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] ---
    On the next Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:
[24:13] ---
    "Runoff in Darkness."
