[00:01] ---
I don't believe it...
[00:02] ---
The Koma Sword is the Myoda sect's
main object of worship,
[00:04] ---
and he had a connection
to father through it?
[00:06] ---
Hurry up, keep reading!
[00:08] ---
Oh. Right!
[00:09] ---
Man, I'm getting a bad feeling about this...
[00:12] ---
I don't know what Suguro's dad
wants to ask me to do, but...
[00:16] ---
Rin?
[00:17] ---
Yukio, keep reading that letter.
[00:31] ---
So, this is the former stronghold
of the Myoda sect.
[00:35] ---
Goma Hall is in the back. We should hurry.
[00:38] ---
Indeed.
[00:39] ---
Do you really think
it'll be safe in there, though?
[00:43] ---
Fudobu-ji Temple was built around Goma Hall
to protect it.
[00:47] ---
I expect that the Right Eye
was originally kept sealed there.
[00:51] ---
Returning it to its original resting place
is the wisest choice, wouldn't you agree?
[01:00] ---
It's been a while
since I last came up this mountain.
[01:03] ---
Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!
[01:08] ---
Come back here, you monkeys!
[01:10] ---
Uh-oh, here she comes! Run!
[01:13] ---
It brings back memories...
[01:19] ---
Mamushi!
[01:20] ---
Stay away from this place!
[01:29] ---
Oh, dear.
[01:30] ---
So this is where you've been, Mamushi.
[01:33] ---
Your father has been worried sick.
[01:36] ---
Ready to come home?
[01:37] ---
Ms. Hojo.
[01:40] ---
Is this Goma Hall?
[01:43] ---
Yes.
[01:44] ---
This was once a sacrosanct place that
only the head priest was allowed to enter.
[01:51] ---
If I do this,
I doubt the others will ever forgive me.
[01:57] ---
But now, it's just an empty shell,
without a master or holy relic...
[02:03] ---
The goma altar's sacred flame is lit!
[02:07] ---
There should be some sort
of hidden door somewhere.
[02:09] ---
Let's look for it.
[02:10] ---
All right.
[02:14] ---
Until the Master... Until Tatsuma Suguro
proves he is worthy of my trust,
[02:20] ---
I must do this!
SIGN Episode 6: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
[03:54] ---
The Koma Sword.
[03:55] ---
A demonic sword passed down
as the Myo-O Dharani sect's main object of worship.
[03:59] ---
Also known as Kurikara.
[04:02] ---
It is said that Fukaku, Myoda's founder,
[04:04] ---
summoned a fire demon named Karura
into this sword,
[04:08] ---
and used its flames
to defeat the Impure King.
[04:12] ---
Ever since, the Myoda have passed down
the sword as their main object of worship,
[04:17] ---
kept the Right Eye sealed away,
[04:19] ---
and have had a strict rule about
remaining apart from the secular world.
[04:24] ---
Then, as if to mock all of that,
he appeared before me.
[04:31] ---
Wh-What are you saying?
That's Myoda's main object of worship!
[04:36] ---
Quit yapping! I know, chrome dome!
[04:39] ---
Anyway, the thing's empty, right?
[04:42] ---
How dare you speak of things
you don't understand!
[04:46] ---
Yaozo!
[04:47] ---
How long do you intend
to continue defiling our relic, you thief?
[04:56] ---
Did you get him, Yaozo?
[04:57] ---
That's our Yaozo!
[04:59] ---
N-No, it wasn't me...
[05:01] ---
The maniac was gravely injured
the whole time!
[05:04] ---
What?
[05:05] ---
I'm amazed he could even move
with these wounds.
[05:08] ---
Who is this guy?
[05:10] ---
What do you wish done with him,
Master Tatsuma?
[05:18] ---
You awake?
[05:19] ---
Shiro Fujimoto, Senior Exorcist First Class.
Order of the True Cross, Japan Branch.
[05:30] ---
Where am I?
[05:32] ---
Fudobu-ji, Kongo-Shinzan.
[05:34] ---
You collapsed.
[05:36] ---
We couldn't leave you like that,
so we brought you to the temple.
[05:39] ---
Are you kidding?
You should've just left me where I was!
[05:43] ---
You're a real soft touch, aren't you?
[05:46] ---
Uh, you got a light?
[05:50] ---
Hey, what are you—
[05:51] ---
That can wait, Fujimoto.
[05:54] ---
Just how much do you know
about our relic... About Kurikara?
[05:58] ---
Why do you want to take it?
[06:00] ---
Hell if I know. I just came here
on orders from my bosses.
[06:03] ---
But I think they're gonna use it
to kill a kid...
[06:08] ---
Kill... a child?
[06:10] ---
He said that without batting an eye!
[06:13] ---
If you can move,
I must ask you to leave at once!
[06:16] ---
Whatever the circumstances may be,
I cannot tend to a child killer!
[06:21] ---
Don't worry, I'll leave.
After I get the Koma Sword.
[06:25] ---
You haven't given up on that?
[06:27] ---
You don't have the slightest idea
where in Fudobu-ji it might be!
[06:30] ---
No sweat, I'll just bust into
all of your temples until I find it.
[06:34] ---
No, there's probably no time for that.
It'd be faster to just ask you.
[06:38] ---
So tell me. Where's the sword?
[06:41] ---
Th-This man is—
[06:45] ---
Come on, really?
You wanna fight me with that?
[06:48] ---
Stop it before you get hurt.
[06:55] ---
Hey! Wait!
[06:58] ---
Where are you—
[07:00] ---
No, that's—
Don't go in there!
[07:04] ---
Wha—
[07:05] ---
Wh-What the hell is this?
[07:09] ---
Stop this!
[07:12] ---
What do you think you're doing?
[07:13] ---
Shut up! End this farce right now!
[07:16] ---
You monster!
Do you know what you've done?
[07:18] ---
If we stop communing with the Buddha,
he will forsake us and withdraw his power!
[07:23] ---
Then answer me this!
Has all your praying helped these people?
[07:28] ---
You're a coward who plays the saint...
[07:30] ---
You're the kind of person I hate the most!
[07:33] ---
These people are way beyond prayer!
[07:35] ---
You have to pull the toxins that make up
the miasma out of their bodies right now!
[07:38] ---
Y-You can help them?
[07:40] ---
Yeah! I can save them all. I think.
[07:44] ---
You there! Bring me radish, onion,
heal-all, calamus, rock salt...
[07:48] ---
Oh, and some eagle claw chili!
[07:51] ---
Also, some petroleum jelly
or beeswax or lard!
[07:54] ---
Um, right...
[07:56] ---
Will that save them?
[07:57] ---
Don't make me repeat myself!
As for you, heat up a bunch of water!
[08:01] ---
Also...
[08:03] ---
I could use that light.
[08:06] ---
If this...
[08:08] ---
If this really helps them...
[08:10] ---
Then what have we...
[08:14] ---
Torako...
[08:17] ---
Tatsuma, I'm—
[08:19] ---
T...
[08:21] ---
To...
[08:23] ---
Torako!
[08:29] ---
Tatsuma...
[08:30] ---
I-I honestly thought I was done for!
[08:37] ---
I... I'm really going to be able
to have the baby?
[08:41] ---
Sure you will!
[08:42] ---
Thank goodness... I'm so relieved!
[08:47] ---
Thank you, Fujimoto!
[08:49] ---
When you showed up
to steal the sword,
[08:50] ---
I thought you were
some sort of bandit!
[08:53] ---
Was I ever wrong about you!
[08:55] ---
Huh?
[08:57] ---
That was that. And this is this.
Cough up the sword.
[09:01] ---
I mean, I did save all those lives.
[09:04] ---
And even taught you the treatment.
[09:06] ---
I think I'm entitled to a little something
for my trouble, don't you?
[09:10] ---
Tatsuma?
[09:11] ---
Y-You get some rest, okay?
[09:16] ---
I thought you were a good person!
[09:18] ---
Man, you really are the kind of person
I hate the most...
[09:22] ---
Trust me, I ain't.
[09:25] ---
If you aren't gonna help,
I'll find it myself.
[09:28] ---
You'll never get anywhere
if you're afraid to get your hands dirty.
[09:36] ---
Father?
[09:37] ---
That's him.
[09:39] ---
Seize him!
[09:45] ---
What are you—
[09:47] ---
He's trying to escape!
After him!
[09:49] ---
Don't let that bandit
leave this mountain alive!
[09:52] ---
Father, what are you doing? That man—
[09:54] ---
Tatsuma! Don't think
this fiasco will go unpunished!
[09:57] ---
An Order of the True Cross exorcist?
[10:00] ---
You brought an emissary from those unbelievers
into our temple and let him work their foul magic!
[10:04] ---
You're wrong!
Father, that man just saved many lives!
[10:07] ---
He saved them... He saved Torako!
[10:10] ---
That makes no difference!
[10:12] ---
Outsiders who learn anything of the Koma Sword
and the secrets of the Myoda,
[10:16] ---
must be killed!
[10:20] ---
I have a responsibility to protect Myoda!
[10:24] ---
Father, what you're protecting is its rules.
[10:28] ---
I'm...
[10:32] ---
I'm not like you!
[10:34] ---
Tatsuma! Where are you going?
[10:36] ---
Tatsuma!
[10:40] ---
- He went that way!
- Don't let him get away!
[10:42] ---
Crap, these guys don't give up!
[10:45] ---
I tore open my wounds, damn it!
[10:48] ---
Fujimoto!
[10:50] ---
Tatsuma?
[10:51] ---
Take it.
[10:55] ---
The Koma Sword?
[10:57] ---
I'll show you the way out. Follow me.
[11:00] ---
Hey, hang on!
[11:02] ---
What gives? Are you sure about this?
[11:04] ---
It's all right. I've known all along.
[11:07] ---
When I was a child,
I once secretly drew that sword.
[11:11] ---
I wanted to see Karura.
[11:14] ---
But nothing came out.
Not Karura, not flames, nothing.
[11:16] ---
That sword is empty.
I've known all these years.
[11:21] ---
I'm through with praying
over an empty sword!
[11:24] ---
I finally found the will to fight!
[11:26] ---
Thanks to you!
[11:29] ---
I'm gonna kill a kid with this, you know.
[11:31] ---
No, I know you won't.
[11:34] ---
I can tell.
[11:37] ---
You're a hopeless soft touch, you know that?
[11:39] ---
The trail leads this way!
[11:42] ---
Keep running in this direction.
This makes us even!
[11:45] ---
Nope.
[11:47] ---
This makes us friends.
[11:50] ---
Over there!
[11:52] ---
- Drat, he jumped!
- He's below! Head him off!
[11:58] ---
Here ends the tale
of me and Father Fujimoto.
[12:04] ---
A few months later,
the Blue Night occurred,
[12:07] ---
and my father passed on the true secret
of the Myoda sect with his dying breath.
[12:13] ---
That secret was indeed a terrible thing.
[12:20] ---
So this is where it was hidden!
Let's see what's down there.
[12:28] ---
It's a door!
[12:30] ---
I had no idea there was a chamber like this
hidden beneath Goma Hall...
[12:35] ---
Give the Right Eye to me.
[12:37] ---
B-But you said that carrying both
would put your life at risk!
[12:40] ---
We're practically there.
And I'm more worried about you.
[12:45] ---
I'm beginning to regret
[12:48] ---
that my guesswork has caught up
my dearest pupil in something dreadful.
[12:53] ---
When I think about
the repercussions for you...
[12:56] ---
Are you having regrets?
[12:59] ---
No, sir.
[13:00] ---
I am the only one
who can keep everyone safe now!
[13:03] ---
You really are a fine young lady.
[13:06] ---
Now, let's get this open.
[13:19] ---
What is that?
[13:20] ---
This is the Impure King.
[13:23] ---
Ansei year 5 (1858).
[13:25] ---
Fukaku, your founder,
[13:27] ---
made a pact with the demon sword Kurikara,
inhabited by the fire demon Karura,
[13:31] ---
and battled the Impure King,
but to no avail.
[13:34] ---
He finally subdued the Impure King
by plucking out his eyes and sealing them away.
[13:38] ---
At that time, Karura departed from Kurikara.
[13:41] ---
That is the truth of the Myoda sect.
[13:43] ---
This is what the Myoda sect's
secrets within secrets have protected.
[13:48] ---
This is the Impure King?
[13:49] ---
Impossible! Are you saying that
it's existed down here for 150 years?
[13:54] ---
But then, the Right Eye and Left Eye—
[13:57] ---
Correct.
[13:57] ---
If the Right Eye and Left Eye were to be
returned to the shrivelled Impure King,
[14:02] ---
he would be restored to his former glory.
[14:07] ---
Mr. Todo, just what are you?
[14:11] ---
Oh, Ms. Hojo.
[14:12] ---
You are my dearest student,
and hearing that tone wounds me deeply.
[14:18] ---
However, I have no further use for you.
[14:23] ---
Well, well!
[14:25] ---
Master?
[14:27] ---
Mamushi!
[14:28] ---
Everything will be fine.
[14:29] ---
I'll get you back to your father
safe and sound, you hear?
[14:34] ---
This is a cancer that corrupts
all it comes in contact with!
[14:37] ---
It ends with me!
I won't let it infect another generation!
[14:41] ---
I will protect everyone!
[14:43] ---
Master!
[14:44] ---
Any who would try to thwart that goal
[14:47] ---
will answer to Tatsuma Suguro,
the 17th head priest of the Myoda sect!
[14:58] ---
Father!
[14:59] ---
Surrounded by blue flames,
[14:59] ---
Father! Can you hear me?
Father! Father!
[15:00] ---
I learned all the secrets passed down
among the head priests of Myoda.
[15:05] ---
Don't die! Father!
[15:12] ---
I am called Karura.
[15:14] ---
I serve the high priests
of the Myo-O Dharani.
[15:17] ---
Are you descended
from its founder, Fukaku?
[15:20] ---
Give me proof of your blood.
[15:22] ---
I... I am Tatsuma Suguro!
[15:25] ---
I am Fukaku's descendant!
[15:28] ---
You are indeed of Fukaku's blood.
[15:31] ---
In that case, I shall henceforth serve you,
Tatsuma Suguro.
[15:36] ---
I don't believe it. The high priests
have employed Karura for generations?
[15:41] ---
In exchange for what?
[15:43] ---
What I desire is secrets.
[15:45] ---
My existence. And the purpose
I am made to serve you.
[15:50] ---
The truth of all that is sealed away
and kept secret.
[15:53] ---
That is your price?
[15:55] ---
To be more precise,
[15:57] ---
the keeping of secrets is what gives me life,
and I feed on lies and mistrust.
[16:02] ---
In exchange for those secrets,
I lend you the flames that quell your enemy.
[16:08] ---
Our enemy?
[16:09] ---
The Impure King.
[16:11] ---
The remnant that has been slumbering
beneath this temple for 150 years.
[16:16] ---
Karura!
[16:17] ---
The time has come for you
to lend me your power!
[16:22] ---
Master!
[16:24] ---
Such is our pact. Ask, and I obey.
[16:27] ---
Karura!
[16:29] ---
Or do I call you the Vermillion bird or phoenix?
[16:31] ---
That is quite the magnificent familiar
you have there!
[16:34] ---
Fiend! I don't know what you're planning,
[16:37] ---
but the Impure King
cannot be controlled so easily!
[16:40] ---
Put down the Right and Left Eyes
and leave this place!
[16:43] ---
I'm afraid I can't do that.
[16:46] ---
This is the moment I've lived for
all these years!
[16:51] ---
Karura-en... Kashoku-no-in!
(Karura Flames, Fire-eating Sigil)
[16:57] ---
I can't believe his physical abilities!
[16:59] ---
Such tends to be the case with humans
who are inhabited by a demon.
[17:03] ---
All right, then...
[17:04] ---
Karura-en, kafun-no-in!
(Karura Flames, Spark Sigil)
[17:08] ---
M-M-My regeneration can't keep up!
[17:12] ---
So this is Karura's power.
[17:16] ---
Mamushi!
[17:19] ---
Allow me to play my trump card, then.
[17:23] ---
No!
[17:29] ---
Mamushi! Hang in there!
[17:33] ---
Hold on tight to me!
[17:36] ---
The Impure King is awakening!
[17:43] ---
Goma Hall? Why would they come here?
[17:53] ---
What in the world?
[17:56] ---
Master! And Mamushi?
[17:58] ---
Juzo?
[18:05] ---
Juzo! Watch out for the droplets!
[18:15] ---
What is that?
[18:16] ---
Juzo, your timing is perfect.
[18:19] ---
Some of Yaozo's quick thinking, eh?
Good, that helps.
[18:22] ---
I'll handle this, so take Mamushi back
to the field office and bring help!
[18:26] ---
Yes, sir!
[18:27] ---
What is that monster?
[18:29] ---
Mamushi knows.
[18:31] ---
She's gravely wounded from carrying
the Impure King's Right Eye inside her body.
[18:35] ---
Take her back to her father for me.
[18:39] ---
- What about you, Master?
- I will hold him here.
[18:43] ---
- Mamushi.
- Master...
[18:46] ---
You tell everyone everything.
I'm counting on you.
[18:50] ---
I understand.
[18:53] ---
Master...
[18:54] ---
Get moving!
[18:56] ---
Let's go, Mamushi. Climb on!
[19:00] ---
Master!
[19:04] ---
My secret has been revealed.
[19:06] ---
My pact to serve the head priests
of Myoda is at an end.
[19:10] ---
But your separate pact
with me personally still stands.
[19:14] ---
Before the Impure King can reach maturity
and release his miasma,
[19:18] ---
I have to try to pin him down here with
the Joukafuu-no-in (Purifying Flame Seal Sigil)!
[19:22] ---
The Joukafuu-no-in
demands a great deal of power.
[19:25] ---
I'll use Gouha-en
(World-destroying Waves and Flames).
[19:27] ---
I was under the impression that Gouha-en
was devised to defeat the Impure King.
[19:31] ---
If you use it now,
[19:32] ---
you will forever lose the chance
to defeat the Impure King.
[19:35] ---
There's no choice.
[19:37] ---
Let's begin!
[19:46] ---
Gouha-en! Joukafuu-no-in!
[19:52] ---
Right, that should at least keep him
confined here for the time being...
[19:56] ---
Whew, I'm beat.
[20:01] ---
I did warn you.
[20:03] ---
What, I ain't dead just yet.
[20:06] ---
And as long as there's life left in you,
there's always a way—
[20:14] ---
Oh, dear.
[20:16] ---
I do feel terrible
about what I did to Ms. Hojo.
[20:20] ---
Unfortunately, you're a man of mystery.
[20:22] ---
You rarely come out into the open,
making it impossible to locate you.
[20:27] ---
I thought long and hard about what
I would need to do to draw you out,
[20:32] ---
and I concluded that the only way
was to revive the Impure King.
[20:36] ---
I was certain that you were using Karura
to keep the Impure King sealed away.
[20:39] ---
But then I was forced to while away
many a year waiting for this day to arrive.
[20:44] ---
You were my objective, Tatsuma Suguro.
[20:47] ---
Or perhaps it would be
more accurate to say your familiar!
[20:53] ---
Tatsuma!
[20:57] ---
He's eating Karura?
[20:59] ---
What is this man?
[21:12] ---
Its power is even greater than I imagined!
[21:14] ---
He actually forced Karura to inhabit his body!
[21:18] ---
A human, forcing his will on a demon?
[21:21] ---
No human could possibly do that!
[21:24] ---
Oh, my. I feel like I'm quite a bit younger...
[21:28] ---
Perhaps this is an added bonus
from gaining Karura's power.
[21:33] ---
It's flapping around like mad
in my innards!
[21:37] ---
It would seem that I'm not quite
up to fully controlling it just yet.
[21:41] ---
But... I'll get used to it soon enough.
[21:44] ---
This brings me one step closer
to my ultimate goal.
[21:47] ---
Thank you, Tatsuma Suguro.
[21:51] ---
W-Wait...
[21:54] ---
Please.
