[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...

[02:08] ---
    ...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] ---
    "Dawn of Darkness"
[02:56] ---
    Kunichiyo-sama! What's wrong?!
[03:00] ---
    Kunichiyo-sama! Say something,
    Kunichiyo-sama! Kunichiyo-sama!
[03:16] ---
    Oh, whatever is the matter, Oeyo-dono?
[03:23] ---
    Someone has poisoned Kunichiyo-sama!
[03:28] ---
    Luckily, things did not turn serious,
    but we cannot overlook this!
[03:33] ---
    I am leaving immediately for
    Sunpu to see the retired shogun!
[03:37] ---
    Hold on.
[03:39] ---
    This is not the best time to
    quarrel over the succession.
[03:44] ---
    It would be most prudent
    to calmly wait for news.
[03:50] ---
    But, Tenkai-dono...
[03:56] ---
    You are so heroic, Takechiyo-sama!
[04:00] ---
    Please tell the same
    thing to that absent vixen!
[04:50] ---
    Is that you, Kouga Gennosuke?!
[04:56] ---
    Iga scum!
[05:06] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[05:34] ---
    Kagero, take Gennosuke-sama
    with you and escape.
[05:39] ---
    Hyoma-dono...
[05:40] ---
    Hyoma! What are you--
[05:42] ---
    Gennosuke-sama, please take
    a good look at the world's reason...
[05:55] ---
    Hyoma...
[06:06] ---
    Kagero!
[06:07] ---
    Go!
[06:11] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[06:16] ---
    Gennosuke!
[06:20] ---
    Stop!
[06:53] ---
    Look, Koshiro!
[07:26] ---
    Where did he go, hawk?
[07:30] ---
    Tell me where the enemy is
    with your flapping!
[07:33] ---
    It seems his eyes have yet to open
    since Gennosuke-sama closed them.

[08:02] ---
    This is bad...
[08:06] ---
    How I would like to see that
    view again, Gennosuke-sama...

[08:39] ---
    Where are you, Kouga scum?
    What direction will you come from?!

[09:29] ---
    I've blundered!
[09:49] ---
    Hyoma... are you here, Hyoma?
[09:59] ---
    You called for me, Danjo-sama?
[10:03] ---
    Can you tell who this is?
[10:14] ---
    This one seems to have much of
    his mother's, your sister's, blood.
[10:24] ---
    Could you teach him the ways of your Dojutsu?
[10:33] ---
    I want this one to grow strong.
[10:37] ---
    Even stronger than I...
[10:47] ---
    Well, let me have a look.
[10:50] ---
    Eyes that see too much can be a problem.
[11:22] ---
    Well?
[11:24] ---
    Hyoma.
[11:26] ---
    Yes.
[11:27] ---
    A very honest child, he is.
[11:39] ---
    "Mountains of Kouga Manjidani"
[12:06] ---
    Aren't those nice voices, Gennosuke-sama?
[12:14] ---
    I have no need for birds' voices!
[12:19] ---
    How graceless.
[12:21] ---
    You will need to learn about elegance.
[12:40] ---
    What's wrong, Gennosuke-sama?
[12:45] ---
    Isn't it obvious?!
[12:47] ---
    But never mind that;
    I want to learn your technique,
[12:51] ---
    not walk around Manjidani
    all day with this blindfold on!
[12:57] ---
    You do not enjoy our strolls?
[13:00] ---
    I want to grow stronger!
    For the Kouga, and for--
[13:05] ---
    But this won't make me any stronger...
[13:10] ---
    If an enemy learns you use the Dojutsu,
    he will attack your eyes first.
[13:17] ---
    This training is for the unlikely
    event you lose the use of your eyes.
[13:31] ---
    I don't care about unlikely events!
    Just teach me the Dojutsu!
[13:41] ---
    Hyoma!
[13:44] ---
    Let us go, Gennosuke-sama.
[14:26] ---
    Sharpen your five senses.
[14:28] ---
    Do so, and mountain paths such
    as this will be nothing at all.
[14:34] ---
    I know that!
[14:38] ---
    Please be careful.
    This area is a bit dangerous.
[14:44] ---
    Yeah, right!
[15:05] ---
    I told you it was dangerous.
[15:08] ---
    Fear makes it all the more so.
[15:20] ---
    This world is complicated and inscrutable.
[15:23] ---
    All things intermingle
    and constantly change.
[15:30] ---
    But, if you can just see the reason
    behind that chaotic world,
[15:36] ---
    everything can be taken in by your eyes.
[15:40] ---
    Is that--
[15:41] ---
    That is the secret behind
    our Dojutsu technique...
[15:45] ---
    The reason in all living things.
[15:48] ---
    So, what is this "reason"?!
[15:52] ---
    If I told you, you wouldn't
    need to work hard.
[15:57] ---
    You're mean, Hyoma!
[16:21] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[16:47] ---
    Are you all right?!
[16:52] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[17:04] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani-
    Muroga Hyoma's Quarters"
[17:12] ---
    Danjo-sama's judgment was correct.
[17:16] ---
    Gennosuke-sama does indeed
    possess the Dojutsu's gift.

[17:22] ---
    However...
[17:28] ---
    
...where there is good in
    this world, there is evil.

[17:33] ---
    Where there is beauty,
    there is also ugliness.

[17:38] ---
    Gennosuke-sama's eyes are too
    honest to grasp them both together.

[17:55] ---
    His eyes may not need the darker reason...
[18:04] ---
    Gennosuke-sama, how are you feeling?
[18:09] ---
    Hyoma.
[18:11] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[19:27] ---
    Thank you, Hyoma...
[19:39] ---
    Magnificent...
[19:41] ---
    Remove your blindfold and look.
[19:44] ---
    No...
[19:46] ---
    I can see it. I can see it, Hyoma!
[19:51] ---
    So this is the reason of the world?
[19:55] ---
    Indeed, it is.
[19:57] ---
    It truly is a shiny sun...
[20:02] ---
    So this sun shines on Kouga
    and Iga Tsubagakure in the same way?
[20:11] ---
    That is the reason of the world...
[20:13] ---
    That is the reason of the world...
[20:30] ---
    Please... live...
[20:35] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[20:38] ---
    Hyoma!
[20:42] ---
    It had an effect...
[20:45] ---
    But I don't sense that he's fallen!
[20:48] ---
    Did I fail?! No, I know I killed him!
[20:56] ---
    Where are you, Kouga scum?! Where are you?!
[21:00] ---
    Where are you?!
[21:06] ---
    The hawk... Have Koshiro and Tenzen returned?
[21:10] ---
    No. Something doesn't seem right.
[21:16] ---
    Could something have happened
    to Tenzen-sama and Koshiro-dono?!
[21:27] ---
    Koshiro-dono...
[21:30] ---
    Where are you?! Where did you disappear to?!
[21:32] ---
    I can't afford to be stuck here!
[21:36] ---
    I must protect the princess!
[21:39] ---
    I must hurry to Oboro-sama!
[21:43] ---
    Koshiro-dono...
[21:44] ---
    W-Who's there?!
[21:48] ---
    Koshiro-dono...
[21:50] ---
    Akeginu-dono?!
[22:09] ---
    "Tokugawa Takechiyo's Nurse - Ofuku"
[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 corpse collapses, holding onto an image.
[23:53] ---
    What follows is a woman's
    first dam-breaking moaning.

[23:57] ---
    When the gasps and pulses resonate
    thrice in the ghostly moonlight,

[24:03] ---
    a strong noblewoman appears
    in the windless field.

[24:07] ---
    At last, the truth behind
    the Kouga-Iga war is brought to light!
