[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] ---
    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"
[23:50] ---
    A showdown in moonless darkness
    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.
[24:04] ---
    A gruesome end crosses eyes of truth.
[24:07] ---
    Here, there is extreme cruelty.
[24:11] ---
    On the next Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:
[24:14] ---
    "Dawn of Darkness."
