[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
[02:19] ---
    Even when I shut the fated
    tears deep within my eyes
[02:25] ---
    my eyelids still remember you
[02:42] ---
    "Wails of Restless Ghosts"
[02:51] ---
    "Tokaido Road - Kakegawa Inns"
[03:18] ---
    Fool.
[03:43] ---
    C'mon, let me have a turn now!
[03:49] ---
    Hey!
[03:53] ---
    W-What in the...
[05:02] ---
    It's kill or be killed...
[05:10] ---
    The Kouga... and I... win!
[05:17] ---
    Die, Oboro!
[05:27] ---
    "West Oigawa"
[05:28] ---
    What's this?
[05:30] ---
    Someone read it.
[05:31] ---
    Let's see here...
[05:33] ---
    "Where have you fled to, Kouga Gennosuke?
[05:37] ---
    Kagero is in my hands.
[05:40] ---
    I shall take her head
[05:43] ---
    after a day or two
    of our special Iga torture.
[05:50] ---
    If you are truly the leader
    of Kouga Manjidani,
[05:53] ---
    you will leave your hole and rescue her.
[05:58] ---
    If you do not have the skill for that,
    bring the ninja roster to us.
[06:07] ---
    Do so, and I will drag both
    you and Kagero to Sunpu alive.
[06:14] ---
    From Iga-no-Oboro."
[06:19] ---
    What is this?
[06:20] ---
    I saw the same notice board in Kanaya!
[06:25] ---
    Talk about creepy...
[06:26] ---
    Heaven help us!
[06:40] ---
    "Tokaido Road - Fujieda Inns"
[07:53] ---
    "Iga"
[08:13] ---
    Your Kouga leader
    certainly is heartless, Kagero...
[08:20] ---
    I was completely taken in.
[08:23] ---
    To think your sweet breath
    would transform into poison...
[08:44] ---
    Oboro-dono!
[08:57] ---
    Tenzen...
[09:16] ---
    You're not exactly Oboro-sama,
    but now I regret this war somewhat.
[09:23] ---
    I would've liked to take you again,
    even if it meant a few days of death.
[09:33] ---
    Just... kill me...
[09:37] ---
    Do not be so impatient.
    That would be a real waste.
[09:42] ---
    We needn't rush; by tomorrow morning,
[09:47] ---
    you will no longer be living.
[09:54] ---
    Stop! Please stop, Tenzen!
[10:36] ---
    Tenzen!
[10:37] ---
    You made it here all by yourself?
[10:40] ---
    You're finally starting
    to act like a shinobi...
[10:45] ---
    For heaven's sake, Tenzen!
    Please stop this!
[10:49] ---
    I... I cannot bear it!
[10:54] ---
    Oboro-sama...
[10:57] ---
    I am struck with great admiration.
[11:01] ---
    Using this girl as bait
    to lure out Kouga Gennosuke...
[11:07] ---
    That was truly an excellent idea!
[11:10] ---
    Ofuku-dono was deeply impressed, as well.
[11:14] ---
    "What a true ninja leader...
[11:16] ---
    ...an adorable face,
    but a cold-blooded mind."
[11:25] ---
    At least...
[11:27] ---
    At least show mercy and let her die now...
[11:32] ---
    Mercy...
[11:33] ---
    This is a living hell...
[11:36] ---
    She may be our foe,
    but she is still a person.
[11:39] ---
    Show some pity for her!
[11:41] ---
    Mercy? Pity?
[11:45] ---
    Ironically, these are words oft heard
    from shinobi's mouths these days,
[11:50] ---
    but I haven't the faintest understanding
    of what these words mean...
[12:24] ---
    T-Tenzen?!
[12:28] ---
    W-What are you doing?!
[12:31] ---
    Changing my plans.
[12:37] ---
    It seems this girl's breath only
    becomes poison when she is excited.
[12:46] ---
    We will let her watch us having intercourse,
[12:53] ---
    and once she begins to exude poison,
    you will use your piercing eyes.
[12:56] ---
    Tenzen! You're a horrifying man!
[13:01] ---
    'Tis another shrewd way for me to
    enjoy Kagero again without dying.
[13:07] ---
    Have you no shame?!
[13:11] ---
    I won't let you! Besides, my eyes are still--
[13:15] ---
    Oboro-sama, how many nights has
    it been since we left Tsubagakure?
[13:22] ---
    The Iga have clearly won the war.
[13:25] ---
    So let us arrive at Sunpu
    tomorrow as husband and wife!
[13:31] ---
    No! No!
[13:33] ---
    Stop! Stop, Tenzen!
[14:03] ---
    Yakushiji Tenzen...
[14:13] ---
    How are you still alive?
[14:24] ---
    Why am I alive, you ask?
[14:32] ---
    Isn't it obvious?!
[14:37] ---
    To slay you, of course!
[14:46] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[14:49] ---
    Isn't this wonderful, Oboro-sama?
[14:53] ---
    Kouga Gennosuke fell right
    into the trap that you set!
[15:04] ---
    You look so happy...
[15:07] ---
    Coming up with cunning
    plans together was worth it...
[15:15] ---
    Now just leave everything to me.
[15:43] ---
    So Muroga Hyoma taught you...
[15:48] ---
    But without your Dojutsu,
[15:52] ---
    you're even inferior to
    the gutless Tokugawa samurai.
[16:18] ---
    Too slow!
[16:45] ---
    Gennosuke-sama?!
[17:27] ---
    How are you feeling, Gennosuke?
[17:31] ---
    Plead for your life.
[17:33] ---
    Depending on your attitude,
[17:36] ---
    I just might be kind enough
    to drag you to Sunpu half-alive,
[17:39] ---
    and then, after our audience
    with the retired shogun,
[17:42] ---
    I might let you stay beside Oboro-sama
    and me for as long as you live.
[17:50] ---
    'Tis not a bad offer, but...
[17:56] ---
    Oboro-sama.
[17:59] ---
    You spoke earlier of a living hell.
[18:09] ---
    But if there truly is a hell,
[18:14] ---
    then this void I've lived in for
    200 years after being born from death,
[18:20] ---
    with no hope for salvation
    or deliverance whatsoever...
[18:28] ---
    ...is that hell!
[19:18] ---
    Kouga scum!
[19:38] ---
    Gennosuke-sama?!
[19:51] ---
    This is the end, Gennosuke.
[19:56] ---
    Tenzen...
[19:58] ---
    I refuse to hear your last words.
[20:00] ---
    What do you harbor in your body?
[20:15] ---
    Their hatred for the Kouga
    became a hazy, blind belief,
[20:20] ---
    and eventually, it began to wane...
[20:25] ---
    Very few of them had
    suffered themselves, you see...
[20:33] ---
    Damn you...
[20:35] ---
    Don't tell me you...
[20:39] ---
    ...framed the Kouga?
[20:46] ---
    During the Tenshou battle,
    you plotted something...
[20:53] ---
    The Iga were on the verge of destruction.
[20:57] ---
    But it was also a very rare opportunity.
[21:01] ---
    Had I not capitalized on the Oda raid,
    the people of Tsubagakure
[21:06] ---
    might have become bound by
    Kouga Danjo and Ogen-sama's relations.
[21:14] ---
    Though the first
    Hattori Hanzo's anti-war pact
[21:18] ---
    was a grave miscalculation on my part.
[21:34] ---
    Grandmother... and Danjo-sama...
[21:39] ---
    Tenzen... You fooled both houses together...
[21:44] ---
    I fooled no one. I simply made sure
    neither side forgot whom to hate.
[21:58] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[22:04] ---
    Iga and Kouga...
[22:06] ---
    The victor shall be decided here!
[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"
[23:52] ---
    The bright light of life
    glistens upon overflowing tears.
[23:56] ---
    Blood ties that span the life-death
    void are carved into evil eyes.
[24:01] ---
    Sparks fly in the darkness.
[24:03] ---
    Glittering lazuline mercy and pity
    finally fell the phoenix.
