[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
[02:19] ---
    Even when I shut the fated
    tears deep within my eyes
[02:25] ---
    my eyelids still remember you
[02:42] ---
    "Fleeting Visions and Fantasies"
[03:02] ---
    Do not loathe me.
[03:06] ---
    If you loathe anyone, it should be Tokugawa.
[03:10] ---
    Loathe the retired shogun in Sunpu...
[03:13] ---
    Loathe the world's greatest succession war...
[03:17] ---
    And...
[03:21] ---
    ...curse yourself for being born a Kouga!
[03:25] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[03:29] ---
    It has been a long time...
[03:38] ---
    At last, this day has come...
[03:54] ---
    Hyoma...
[04:32] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[04:36] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[04:41] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[05:04] ---
    Ge--
[05:07] ---
    Gennosuke...
[05:35] ---
    Gennosuke-sama?!
[05:41] ---
    Oboro-dono...
[05:45] ---
    Yes...
[05:47] ---
    A sword...
[05:51] ---
    Do you have one?
[05:59] ---
    What?! Oboro is gone?!
[06:11] ---
    You heard people fighting?!
[06:14] ---
    Then what are you
    sitting there trembling for?!
[06:19] ---
    What if the worst has happened?!
[06:27] ---
    No... I do not have one...
[06:32] ---
    Take his sword, Oboro-dono.
[06:38] ---
    I must slay you.
[06:45] ---
    And you must slay me.
[06:49] ---
    You may be able to.
[06:53] ---
    My eyes have been sealed shut.
[06:57] ---
    I, too, have been blinded...
[07:02] ---
    By an Iga?!
[07:04] ---
    No. I sealed my own eyes shut...
[07:09] ---
    I did not want to see the war
    with the Manjidani clan...
[07:16] ---
    Oboro-dono...
[07:19] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[07:23] ---
    Please...
[07:28] ---
    ...kill me...
[07:46] ---
    Before these eyes open...
[07:57] ---
    Oboro-dono...
[07:59] ---
    Yes...
[08:00] ---
    I am the only Kouga left.
[08:05] ---
    And I am the only Iga left...
[08:12] ---
    Take the sword already, Oboro!
[08:19] ---
    Gennosuke-sama... Why?
[08:22] ---
    Kagero!
[08:24] ---
    Why won't you slay Oboro?!
[08:30] ---
    The Kouga... Manjidani...
[08:44] ---
    And even me...
[08:47] ---
    Do you intend to betray us all?!
[08:56] ---
    Kagero...
[08:58] ---
    She lied to you and framed you!
[09:04] ---
    She's Tsubagakure's...
[09:07] ---
    I know.
[09:10] ---
    Then you must hurry and...
[09:30] ---
    Gennosuke...
[09:35] ---
    Let us go...
[09:54] ---
    There is no safe refuge anywhere...
[10:03] ---
    for either...
[10:07] ---
    ...of us...
[10:14] ---
    Gennosuke-sama?!
[10:16] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[10:25] ---
    Oboro...
[10:30] ---
    May you be the only one who lives on...
[10:41] ---
    Stop... Stop...
[10:47] ---
    Stop!
[10:49] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[11:08] ---
    The poison... is disappearing...
[11:19] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[12:18] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[12:21] ---
    Oboro...
[12:24] ---
    Gennosuke-sama!
[12:25] ---
    Oboro...
[12:30] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[12:32] ---
    I didn't...
[12:35] ---
    I didn't want to kill anyone...
[12:44] ---
    I didn't want anyone to die...
[12:52] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[13:20] ---
    What happened here?!
[13:22] ---
    It was a Kouga!
[13:24] ---
    Kouga Gennosuke was here!
[13:26] ---
    Tenzen-dono!
[13:28] ---
    T-T-Tenzen-dono is dead again!
[13:33] ---
    Quiet! Keep your calm!
[13:47] ---
    Tenzen is an immortal ninja.
    You all know that!
[13:53] ---
    Someone sit him up.
[13:56] ---
    And put the head back where it belongs!
[14:06] ---
    What are you afraid of?!
[14:08] ---
    This concerns the fate of Takechiyo-sama,
[14:12] ---
    and thus the fates of
    me and all of you as well!
[14:16] ---
    U-Understood!
[14:50] ---
    Oboro...
[14:55] ---
    Grandmother...
[15:00] ---
    Incidentally, Oboro...
[15:04] ---
    Be wary of Yakushiji Tenzen.
[15:11] ---
    You may not have seen it yet,
    but his technique is one of immortality.
[15:19] ---
    His is not ninpou, either...
[15:23] ---
    Something has taken hold inside his body.
[15:30] ---
    Not even I know what it is.
[15:33] ---
    After all, the story behind it took
    place long before I was ever born.
[15:40] ---
    There is no need to make certain of it.
[15:42] ---
    But, as I see it, what has
    taken residence inside him is...
[15:52] ---
    G-Grandmother?
[15:54] ---
    No, pay no mind...
[15:57] ---
    Forgive my blathering.
[16:01] ---
    You've your whole life ahead of you.
    There is no need for you to know.
[16:10] ---
    Dear me... Even I've turned senile now...
[16:17] ---
    Grandmother...
[16:24] ---
    Grandmother!
[16:33] ---
    O-Oboro...
[16:49] ---
    Oboro? Your eyes have opened?!
[17:25] ---
    H-Hey! Something's not right!
[17:28] ---
    Tenzen-dono?!
[17:49] ---
    Kouga... Gennosuke!
[17:56] ---
    Behind Oboro... Beneath... the steps...
[18:35] ---
    You've your whole life ahead of you...
[18:50] ---
    There is no need for you to know...
[18:56] ---
    We, the Kouga Manjidani Clan...
[19:04] ---
    And you, the Iga Tsubagakure Clan...
[19:25] ---
    Both sides, skilled with
    terrifying secret ninpou arts,
[19:33] ---
    have loathed one another under
    the pretext of a long-standing hatred.
[19:41] ---
    The very height of stupidity, I feel...
[19:49] ---
    You've your whole life ahead of you...
[19:54] ---
    I feel...
[19:59] ---
    There is no need for you to know...
[20:04] ---
    I didn't want to kill anyone...
[20:10] ---
    Why...
[20:13] ---
    Why?
[20:16] ---
    Why?!
[20:38] ---
    I-Is he dead?
[20:49] ---
    Oboro...
[20:53] ---
    Tenzen's words just now...
[20:58] ---
    Yes, behind me lies
    a wounded and poisoned Kouga...
[21:06] ---
    Oh! Well done!
[21:10] ---
    Killing an enemy who cannot fight...
[21:15] ---
    ...will bring no honor to the Iga.
[21:19] ---
    W-What un-ninja-like nonsense is this?
[21:28] ---
    Very well.
[21:31] ---
    Send an urgent dispatch
    to Hattori Hanzo-dono!
[21:33] ---
    Understood!
[21:35] ---
    Ready the horses!
[21:36] ---
    Right!
[21:40] ---
    We will hold a fair duel before
    Hattori Hanzo-dono, referee of this war.
[21:48] ---
    Any objections?
[22:02] ---
    No objections...
[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] ---
    The quiet spring comes to an end.
[23:52] ---
    Amidst even greater silence,
    two souls fall into the blue darkness.
[23:58] ---
    Like water foam that soon disappears,
[24:00] ---
    a tragic love carries a bond into
    the blue moonlight of the next world.
[24:05] ---
    May they meet again at a future time.
[24:07] ---
    May they become one in a future life.

    Basilisk ~ Kouga Ninpouchou:
