[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
[02:43] ---
    "Kouga-Iga Border - Toki Pass"
[02:59] ---
    Sorry I'm late...
[03:03] ---
    Oboro-dono...
[03:07] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[03:09] ---
    "Dual Stirrings"
[03:52] ---
    What's wrong, Oboro-dono?
[03:56] ---
    I'm sorry...
[03:58] ---
    Ever since Grandmother
    and the others departed for Sunpu,
[04:03] ---
    this sense of foreboding just won't stop...
[04:06] ---
    The moment I saw your face...
[04:11] ---
    Please forgive me...
[04:17] ---
    Worry not, Oboro-dono.
[04:20] ---
    The mutual hatred between
    our clans is now ancient history.
[04:26] ---
    As long as the Kouga-Iga Anti-War Pact
    from the Tenshou Era stands,
[04:33] ---
    there will never be strife again.
[04:43] ---
    A ninpou demonstration...
[04:46] ---
    ...for the retired shogun.
[04:49] ---
    Even the letter from Hattori
    Hanzo-dono said as such, did it not?
[04:56] ---
    Yes, Gennosuke-sama...
[05:09] ---
    My guess is that Hanzo-dono
    
[05:12] ---
    must see this as a good opportunity
[05:16] ---
    for both houses to step out into the world...
[05:21] ---
    Grandfather nodded in agreement
    and set off for Sunpu as well.
[05:27] ---
    How shameful...
[05:29] ---
    I didn't mean to lose my calm...
[05:32] ---
    And although born to a shinobi house,
    I'm but a flounderer
[05:36] ---
    competent in neither the sword nor
    the fighting arts,
[05:40] ---
    much less ninpou.
[05:43] ---
    Come now... It bothers me not in the least.
[05:48] ---
    Even more, I am distraught...
[05:51] ---
    I cannot even throw a single
    kunai knife properly...
[05:55] ---
    I also feel sorry to my grandmother,
    who taught me everything...
[06:01] ---
    Perhaps it doesn't suit you...
[06:04] ---
    Besides...
[06:07] ---
    Once the day comes that
    everyone lives happily together,
[06:10] ---
    such skills will be unneeded.
[06:14] ---
    Gennosuke-sama.
[06:17] ---
    Why do you suppose the Iga and Kouga
[06:19] ---
    have despised each other for so long?
[06:25] ---
    Hmm...
[06:27] ---
    I do not know either.
[06:30] ---
    Grandfather and Ogen-dono need
    to decide a date for the ceremony...
[06:36] ---
    Yes, I can hardly wait!
[07:08] ---
    Well, I'll be.
[07:11] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani Group-Udono Josuke"
[07:12] ---
    That damn hawk was carrying a scroll!
[07:18] ---
    Let's see here...
[07:22] ---
    Who's there?!
[07:27] ---
    Could you kindly hand
    that here, Udono Josuke?
[07:28] ---
    "Iga Tsubagakure Group - Azuki Rousai"
[07:34] ---
    Well, well, if it isn't Azuki Rousai-rou!
[07:38] ---
    That's one flashy outfit
    for someone your age!
[07:41] ---
    Hardly. I have chosen a
    particularly plain one for tonight.
[07:46] ---
    That hawk was that of our leader, Ogen-sama.
[07:51] ---
    The scroll would appear
    to belong to her as well.
[07:58] ---
    Meaning neither hawk nor scroll
[08:00] ---
    are meant for the hands
    of you, Kouga rubbish.
[08:05] ---
    I see!
[08:06] ---
    That must mean this is news from Sunpu.
[08:10] ---
    Now I'm kinda curious!
[08:15] ---
    Josuke!
[08:16] ---
    It's true that we're bitter rivals.
[08:19] ---
    However, we're now constricted
    by the Hattori family's pact
[08:24] ---
    and soon the marriage of
    Gennosuke-sama and Oboro-sama
[08:27] ---
    will put all this behind us!
[08:32] ---
    Why don't we be friends too, Rousai-rou?
[08:36] ---
    Very well. Then let us play amicably...
[08:40] ---
    Yes. This is a game.
[08:43] ---
    A ninpou game to see who's better,
    the Kouga or the Iga!
[08:52] ---
    Don't write me off as some tub of lard!
[09:01] ---
    What?!
[09:08] ---
    Time to learn that even games
    can end with fatal results, Josuke!
[09:12] ---
    The truce between Iga and Kouga
    disgusts me to no end!
[09:26] ---
    What are you, a windbag?!
    You spineless freak!
[09:33] ---
    Hey, stretchy old geezer!
    Who're you calling a spineless freak?!
[09:58] ---
    Found ya, gourd head!
[10:01] ---
    Got you!
[10:27] ---
    Seems you have more of a spine
    than meets the eye, old man.
[10:30] ---
    It is proving rather difficult
    to break yours as well.
[10:37] ---
    --Here I come!
[10:37] ---
    --Here I come!
[10:51] ---
    Josuke!
[11:35] ---
    The Iga's list is in
    Danjou-sama's possession.
[11:39] ---
    Now to fight this battle
    between warring ninja
[11:41] ---
    and exterminate the Iga
    Tsubagakure in a single night!
[11:47] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani"
[11:51] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani -
    Kouga Danjou's Compound"
[11:55] ---
    Danjou-sama had a star of misfortune...
[12:04] ---
    Shougen has signs of ill presage as well.
[12:11] ---
    Wait.
[12:14] ---
    I will go.
[12:48] ---
    G-Gennosuke-sama! When did I--
[12:52] ---
    I-I apologize!
[12:56] ---
    No...
[12:59] ---
    It was very tranquil...
[13:04] ---
    Your sleepless days appear
    to have continued...
[13:08] ---
    Yes...
[13:09] ---
    Let us go.
[13:11] ---
    The people at Tsubagakure must be worried...
[13:15] ---
    But we still haven't--
[13:17] ---
    It can wait another day.
    We can practice any time.
[13:21] ---
    Yes, Gennosuke-sama...
[13:49] ---
    What's wrong, Oboro-dono?
[13:53] ---
    Y-You walk... so quickly that I...
[13:59] ---
    How rude of me!
[14:02] ---
    I did the same thing earlier as well...
[14:06] ---
    Please give it no mind.
    I shall keep up with you...
[14:13] ---
    If we hold our hands together,
[14:16] ---
    we will no longer separate, and my
    pace will likely cease to quicken...
[14:23] ---
    Yes...
[14:30] ---
    Gennosuke-sama?
[14:44] ---
    Oboro-sama.
[14:48] ---
    "Iga Tsubagakure Group - Akeginu"
[14:48] ---
    If it isn't Akeginu...
[14:51] ---
    What brings you out here?
[14:57] ---
    You were exceedingly late
    in returning home...
[14:59] ---
    "Iga Tsubagakure Group - Mino Nenki"
[15:05] ---
    "Iga Tsubagakure Group - Hotarubi"
[15:06] ---
    ...so we came to collect you.
[15:09] ---
    Nenki... Even Hotarubi...
[15:15] ---
    Please pardon my discourtesy,
    Tsubagakure Group...
[15:19] ---
    I am relieved to see that you are unharmed.
[15:22] ---
    Still, not returning until dawn...
[15:25] ---
    Forgive me, Akeginu...
[15:27] ---
    Yet, you needn't worry
    when I'm with Gennosuke-sama...
[15:30] ---
    No...
[15:32] ---
    Jingorou! You came as well?
[15:35] ---
    Until Ogen-sama returns from Sunpu,
[15:35] ---
    "Iga Tsubagakure Group - Amayo Jingorou"
[15:38] ---
    you are our leader.
[15:40] ---
    I humbly ask you pay
    more caution to your safety...
[15:44] ---
    'Tis my fault...
[15:46] ---
    I apologize. Please forgive me.
[15:48] ---
    That's not true!
[15:49] ---
    Incidentally, Oboro-sama,
    might you have seen Rousai-rou?
[15:54] ---
    Eh?
[15:55] ---
    He left upon spotting something
    in the sky, but has yet to return.
[16:00] ---
    No, I haven't seen him...
[16:14] ---
    Josuke!
[16:19] ---
    Oboro?!
[16:31] ---
    Ow!
[16:32] ---
    What are you doing, Josuke?
[16:36] ---
    G-Gennosuke-sama!
[16:38] ---
    Please tell Oboro-sama to look away from me!
[16:42] ---
    I-I would never...
[16:45] ---
    We know.
[16:47] ---
    You were born with piercing eyes...
[16:52] ---
    With neither technique nor skill,
[16:56] ---
    your wondrous eyes can
    effortlessly break down
[16:59] ---
    the monster-like techniques of the ninja.
[17:03] ---
    You, there!
[17:05] ---
    --Rousai-dono!
[17:05] ---
    --Rousai!
[17:06] ---
    Retrieve the scroll in Josuke's kimono!
[17:10] ---
    It belongs to Ogen-sama!
[17:23] ---
    What is the meaning of this, Josuke?
[17:26] ---
    No, you see, Rousai-dono and I
    fought over it in a ninpou battle...
[17:32] ---
    No, no, a ninpou game! You see--
[17:35] ---
    Fool!
[17:38] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[17:42] ---
    Now, Oboro-dono. Look inside.
[17:45] ---
    Halt!
[17:47] ---
    That must not be opened in his presence!
[17:51] ---
    W-What are you saying, Jingorou?!
[17:54] ---
    That is a scroll from Ogen-sama!
[17:58] ---
    Exposing it to Kouga eyes would
    cause us plight during her absence!
[18:04] ---
    Jingorou! Gennosuke-sama has already--
[18:07] ---
    The ceremony is likely
    some time away, Oboro-sama.
[18:13] ---
    T-That may be true, but...
[18:18] ---
    You trash...
[18:19] ---
    Ow!
[18:22] ---
    How rude of you all!
    Gennosuke-sama is the Kouga Manjidani--
[18:29] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[18:31] ---
    You are right. I will leave.
[18:35] ---
    Josuke!
[18:37] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[18:39] ---
    Ugh! You're so stupid, Jingorou!
[18:44] ---
    Gennosuke-sama! Udono-sama!
[18:46] ---
    I humbly ask your forgiveness!
[18:49] ---
    None are to blame.
[18:51] ---
    Eh?
[18:52] ---
    If you consider our clans' pasts,
    it is perfectly understandable.
[18:56] ---
    We are the heretical ones right now.
[18:59] ---
    Heretical?
[19:00] ---
    Yes.
[19:01] ---
    Solving this will not be an easy
    task if we anger at every turn...
[19:07] ---
    I am ashamed at having thrown the scroll...
[19:13] ---
    For not being able to
    throw a single kunai properly...
[19:17] ---
    ...your aim was true.
[19:33] ---
    Jingorou! What does Grandmother say?
[19:36] ---
    Jingorou?!
[19:37] ---
    W-Worry not, Oboro-sama!
[19:41] ---
    Peace between Kouga and Iga
    was wholly realized at Sunpu,
[19:45] ---
    and Grandmother and Kouga Danjou-sama
    are viewing springtime Edo
[19:49] ---
    on their return home!
[19:51] ---
    Oh! So it was good news!
[19:57] ---
    Please forgive my rudeness, Gennosuke-sama.
[20:00] ---
    'Tis the tragic nature of the shinobi...
[20:03] ---
    I've taken no offense.
[20:05] ---
    What do you say?
[20:06] ---
    Would you like to take
    this opportunity to visit Iga?
[20:11] ---
    Oh, Nenki! That's a splendid idea!
[20:16] ---
    By all means, please come, Gennosuke-sama!
[20:21] ---
    All right.
[20:22] ---
    Let us go to Iga.
[20:25] ---
    H-Hold on!
[20:27] ---
    That's far too reckless for you to be doing!
[20:34] ---
    Why don't you come too, Udono-sama?
[20:39] ---
    Oh, umm...
[20:43] ---
    Well, I always did want to see Tsubagakure...
[20:47] ---
    We will pick mountain
    herbs before returning...
[20:51] ---
    Be careful not to offend our guests, now...
[20:55] ---
    Yes, I am fully aware of the situation.
[21:01] ---
    Hotarubi...
[21:03] ---
    Inform Tenzen.
[21:05] ---
    Of course.
[21:25] ---
    So, Ogen-sama...
[21:27] ---
    ...is dead.
[21:28] ---
    "Iga Tsubagakure Group - Chikuma Koshirou"
[21:32] ---
    As is Kouga Danjou...
[21:32] ---
    "Iga Tsubagakure Group - Yakushiji Tenzen"
[21:36] ---
    By each other's hand, most likely...
[21:40] ---
    They must have been overjoyed...
[21:43] ---
    Tenzen-sama... Overjoyed?
[21:51] ---
    'Tis too early for someone
    so unsophisticated.
[22:03] ---
    At last, it is annulled...
[22:07] ---
    The anti-war pact that has bound
    the Iga and Kouga since Tenshou...
[22:13] ---
    ...is at last annulled!
[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 Episode"
[23:52] ---
    The anti-war pact has been annulled.
[23:55] ---
    In the abyss of blue darkness,
    a demonic horde is released.
[24:00] ---
    Dusty animal trails. Spider web snares.
[24:03] ---
    Large moth-orchids in full bloom.
    An indistinctly crawling oddity.
[24:11] ---
    On the next Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:
[24:14] ---
    "Deadly Insects, Cold Blood."
