[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
[02:42] ---
    "Way of the Shinobi"
[02:48] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani"
[02:54] ---
    Gennosuke-sama went to Tsubagakure?
[02:57] ---
    Word came last night.
[02:59] ---
    He'll be staying several days
    at Ogen-dono's compound.
[03:01] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani Group - Okoi"
[03:04] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani Group - Kisaragi Saemon"
[03:09] ---
    Who's with him?
[03:12] ---
    Josuke is accompanying him.
[03:14] ---
    He had planned to meet with Oboro-dono,
[03:16] ---
    but I guess they ran into him somewhere...
[03:19] ---
    The Iga women are probably
    feeling very annoyed as we speak!
[03:25] ---
    Yes.
[03:28] ---
    I wish I could have gone with him, too!
[03:36] ---
    I've never even stepped
    foot into Tsubagakure yet!
[03:40] ---
    I'm sure you will soon enough.
[03:44] ---
    I'm so bored.
[03:47] ---
    With this ninpou exhibition,
[03:49] ---
    I have nothing to pass the time with!
[03:53] ---
    You're all stuck inside the compound...
[03:56] ---
    Even my tea companion,
    Jimushi-dono, left for Sunpu...
[03:59] ---
    Hold on. Since when is
    Jimushi-dono your tea companion?
[04:05] ---
    And Gyobu-dono promised
    to go boar-hunting with me!
[04:08] ---
    Actually, he was looking
    forward to that himself...
[04:11] ---
    But we are supposed to watch
    the place while Danjo-sama is away.
[04:16] ---
    Be patient for a little longer.
[04:19] ---
    Will you come hunting with us then, Brother?!
[04:22] ---
    Count me out. I don't boar-hunt...
[04:27] ---
    I prefer leisurely
    fishing for char and the like.
[04:30] ---
    No, I insist! You can be the bait!
[04:33] ---
    Are you asking me to be boar food?
[04:37] ---
    What do you take your brother for?!
[04:47] ---
    Say, Okoi. Could I ask something of you?
[04:52] ---
    "Kouga Danjo's Compound"
[04:59] ---
    He can't be sane...
[05:04] ---
    Marrying an Iga girl?!
[05:05] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani Group - Kagero"
[05:07] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani Group - Muroga Hyoma"
[05:07] ---
    That's enough, Kagero.
[05:10] ---
    You can stop repeating yourself.
[05:12] ---
    This is Gennosuke-sama's decision.
[05:15] ---
    Made only after grasping the
    situation and considering our future...
[05:20] ---
    You catch on fast, Hyoma.
[05:22] ---
    "Kouga Manjidani Group - Kasumi Gyobu"
[05:23] ---
    Though it does sound as if you're
    trying to persuade yourself...
[05:29] ---
    Indeed.
[05:30] ---
    But only half of the time now.
[05:33] ---
    Seeing Gennosuke-sama as such
    has only bettered my opinion of him.
[05:39] ---
    What nonsense!
[05:43] ---
    Marrying a girl he doesn't even
    love for a peace no one wants...
[05:47] ---
    He only meets with her
    before a ceremony can be held
[05:50] ---
    to make this Oboro or
    whomever feel the same way!
[05:54] ---
    If he cares for the Kouga clan at all,
[05:56] ---
    he'll kill the Tsubagakure
    ringleader's granddaughter at once!
[05:59] ---
    Kagero.
[06:11] ---
    Still, I cannot help but worry
    about Gennosuke-sama's safety.
[06:16] ---
    Moreover, Jubei has foreseen misfortune,
[06:20] ---
    and we already fear the worst
    for Danjo-sama and Shogen...
[06:25] ---
    I can go to Iga and check things out.
[06:34] ---
    There's no need; I sent Okoi just now.
[06:40] ---
    You're well-prepared.
[06:41] ---
    Good thinking. The Iga will
    likely be less wary of a girl...
[06:45] ---
    Yes.
[06:46] ---
    And Gennosuke-sama won't be
    as angry if Okoi confronts him.
[06:52] ---
    Precisely.
[06:54] ---
    Then let's wait for her to--
[06:59] ---
    Footsteps.
[07:06] ---
    They belong to shinobi.
    Coming from the north.
[07:09] ---
    From the road? Could it be
    Danjo-sama and the others?
[07:13] ---
    No... The head count doesn't match.
[07:16] ---
    Five... One is a girl.
[07:20] ---
    There is bloodlust in their steps.
[07:23] ---
    They're not Kouga!
[07:29] ---
    "Iga Tsubagakure - Iga Ogen's Compound"
[07:32] ---
    I don't seem to see Josuke...
[07:34] ---
    Y-Yes... The truth is...
[07:38] ---
    ...he came to my room
    many times before dawn...
[07:44] ---
    He did what?
[07:45] ---
    And then?
[07:49] ---
    Akeginu.
[07:50] ---
    Don't tell me...
[07:52] ---
    Nothing of the sort!
[07:54] ---
    But, I was at my wit's end
    and said something a bit harsh...
[08:00] ---
    What exactly did you say?
[08:02] ---
    Well...
[08:04] ---
    That fat gentlemen are not my type...
[08:07] ---
    Oh, my!
[08:08] ---
    He then fell unexpectedly silent...
[08:14] ---
    How horrible...
[08:20] ---
    Gennosuke-sama?
[08:22] ---
    No, putting such things so
    bluntly is best for his sake.
[08:27] ---
    Maybe so, but surely there
    was a better way of saying it...
[08:32] ---
    I'm certain it will be
    good medicine for Josuke.
[08:36] ---
    Akeginu-dono.
[08:38] ---
    I apologize for all the
    trouble we have caused.
[08:41] ---
    N-No! Please raise your head!
[08:45] ---
    Well, then, Oboro-dono.
    Let us view Ogen-dono's prized garden.
[08:50] ---
    Y-Yes!
[08:56] ---
    Akeginu.
[08:57] ---
    Yes?!
[08:58] ---
    Are Tenzen and the others not back yet?
[09:02] ---
    No, they still have yet to return...
[09:06] ---
    Wherever could they have gone?
[09:16] ---
    How long it's been. You've grown well...
[09:23] ---
    --Koshiro.
[09:23] ---
    --Right.
[09:45] ---
    The Kouga clan...
[09:47] ---
    ...is about to be exterminated!
[10:41] ---
    Doesn't it seem too quiet?
[10:43] ---
    Worry not, Hotarubi.
[10:45] ---
    We're simply messengers for Kouga Gennosuke.
[10:50] ---
    Clever thinking...
[10:52] ---
    We could possibly even lure some
    of the people on the roster to Iga...
[10:59] ---
    Let's go.
[11:18] ---
    This is the perfect time for fog.
[11:20] ---
    Yes. Let us take out the rest
    of the Ten before it clears.
[11:26] ---
    It's a surprise attack,
    but don't let your guard down.
[11:29] ---
    Kazamachi Shogen did give you
    that much trouble all on his own.
[11:35] ---
    What is it, Koshiro?!
[11:38] ---
    I sense someone!
[11:50] ---
    W-What are you doing, Rosai?!
[11:53] ---
    Curse you!
[12:03] ---
    What is it?! What's going on?!
[12:05] ---
    The wall spoke!
[12:07] ---
    "The walls in Manjidani have ears," it said!
[12:19] ---
    T-The wall!
[12:22] ---
    Come out! Intruders!
[12:27] ---
    Intruders have entered Manjidani!
[12:46] ---
    Damn you!
[13:20] ---
    Wait... Don't get the wrong idea.
[13:23] ---
    We are messengers, sent here by
    Kouga Gennosuke-sama's request.
[13:33] ---
    We won't fall for that trick!
[13:36] ---
    Why would messengers from
    Iga come from the north?!
[13:43] ---
    What's more, your secret
    code was very suspicious!
[13:51] ---
    Seize them!
[13:56] ---
    We were careless!
[13:59] ---
    It's over! Strike them down!
[15:27] ---
    The breath whirlwind, Kamaitachi!
[15:30] ---
    How about some more, Kouga scum?!
[15:35] ---
    What?!
[16:10] ---
    I won't fall for the same trick twice.
[16:47] ---
    Tenzen-sama!
[16:51] ---
    Monster!
[17:02] ---
    Don't falter!
[17:04] ---
    In the name of the Kouga,
    they must not be allowed to leave alive!
[17:21] ---
    Do you not value your life?
[17:27] ---
    Such drivel.
[17:46] ---
    Get them!
[17:47] ---
    Gyobu, stop.
[17:50] ---
    Iga clansmen, have you gone mad?!
[17:54] ---
    You Kouga are the mad ones.
[17:58] ---
    That was quite the welcome you gave us.
[18:04] ---
    I simply ordered the
    capture of suspicious men,
[18:07] ---
    in pursuance with the anti-war pact...
[18:08] ---
    We merely defended ourselves!
[18:13] ---
    Had we not,
[18:16] ---
    the five of us would be corpses by now...
[18:32] ---
    Why are you here?!
[18:37] ---
    It's very clear how the Kouga do things now!
[18:40] ---
    Should you ever be mad enough to
    visit Iga Tsubagakure in the future,
[18:46] ---
    know now that you'll be
    as warmly treated as we were here!
[19:09] ---
    Bastard!
[19:10] ---
    Gyobu!
[19:45] ---
    Gennosuke-sama...
[20:05] ---
    Who are you?!
[20:09] ---
    Suspicious bastard!
[20:11] ---
    From Iga, are you?!
[20:14] ---
    Stop!
[20:37] ---
    Oh, no, you don't!
[21:07] ---
    Damn! I screwed that up!
[21:30] ---
    Oboro-dono.
[21:31] ---
    Yes?
[21:32] ---
    I'm sorry to ask,
[21:33] ---
    but could you send a messenger
    to Kouga Manjidani?
[21:37] ---
    Eh?
[21:39] ---
    I want to make certain if
    Josuke has returned or not.
[21:53] ---
    I hope it's only my imagination...
[21:57] ---
    Forgive my rudeness...
[22:00] ---
    Not at all. I'll send one at once!
[22:03] ---
    Thank you.
[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"
[23:51] ---
    Dark skies signal the increasing tensions.
[23:55] ---
    Pouring rain. Fervent prayer.
[23:58] ---
    The enamored woman is soaked as she waits.
[24:03] ---
    Within the spells of long-held grudges,
[24:06] ---
    another unyielding future
    begins to crumble away.
