[01:33] Abuto
    Life is just one important decision after another.
[01:37] Abuto
    Go ahead and see how far your naive decisions can take you.
[01:43] Abuto
    I told you, didn't I? I...
[01:47] Abuto
    ...hate killing my own kind.

[01:56] Shinpachi
    H-He...
[01:58] Shinpachi
    saved us...
[02:01] Kagura
    Shinpachi...
[02:03] Shinpachi
    Kagura-chan!
[02:04] Shinpachi
    Thank god.
[02:05] Shinpachi
    You're back to normal...
[02:06] Kagura
    I...lost.
[02:09] Kagura
    To my Yato instincts...
[02:11] Kagura
    To my own self...
[02:13] Kagura
    I tried to kill him.
[02:15] Kagura
    After all that preaching I did...
[02:17] Kagura
    In the end, I wasn't any different...
[02:19] Kagura
    from them...from my brother.
[02:24] Shinpachi
    That's not true.
[02:26] Shinpachi
    Kagura-chan, weren't you fighting to protect us?
[02:30] Shinpachi
    Sorry...
[02:31] Shinpachi
    It's because I was weak that...
[02:33] Shinpachi
    If only I were stronger...
[02:37] Kagura
    I couldn't see anything...
[02:38] Kagura
    I couldn't hear anything...
[02:40] Kagura
    Inside that total darkness, I heard...
[02:43] Kagura
    Your voice...
[02:46] Kagura
    Shinpachi, you're the one who protected me.
[02:55] Kagura
    I feel so frustrated.
[02:57] Kagura
    I want to become stronger...
[02:59] Kagura
    Strong enough to protect everyone.
[03:01] Kagura
    Strong enough so that I won't lose to anyone, not even myself.
[03:07] Shinpachi
    I feel the same way.
[03:09] Shinpachi
    But, for now!
[03:10] Shinpachi
    There are people who need our help.
[03:15] Shinpachi
    There are things even we can protect.
[03:18] Shinpachi
    Every time we protected something,
[03:21] Shinpachi
    we became a little stronger, didn't we?
[03:24] Shinpachi
    So let's wipe our tears and go.
[03:26] Shinpachi
    I'm sure we'll become a little stronger.
[03:39] Hyakkaf
    Don't let them get to Hinowa-sama!
[03:41] Hyakkag
    Hold them back!
[03:43] Kamui
    So persistent.
[03:49] Kamui
    It's not my style to kill women.
[03:52] Kamui
    Women may give birth to strong children, right?
[03:55] Kamui
    Well, I suppose I can't expect anything from your children.
[04:00] Seita
    S-Stop it!
[04:01] Seita
    What's so fun about killing people like that?!
[04:05] Seita
    How can you kill people and just smile like that?!
[04:08] Kamui
    That's harsh. After all I did to bring you here.
[04:11] Kamui
    Besides, they're the ones keeping your mother locked up here.
[04:15] Seita
    I don't remember asking for it!
[04:17] Kamui
    I pay my respects with a smile when killing.
[04:21] Kamui
    Regardless of how their life was, it's appropriate to send them off with a smile,
[04:24] Kamui
    so they can die soundly.
[04:26] Kamui
    You could even say that, I intend to kill when I'm smiling.
[04:32] Kamui
    I'm kidding.
[04:34] Kamui
    I don't believe in killing children.
[04:36] Kamui
    After all, they may grow up to be strong.
[04:41] Kamui
    Come here.
[04:43] Kamui
    You should also smile.
[04:44] Kamui
    You don't want to meet your mother with such a strained look on your face.
[04:48] Seita
    Mom is...here...?
[04:53] Kamui
    Eight years ago,
[04:55] Kamui
    when she was captured while trying to help you escape,
[04:58] Kamui
    she traded her own freedom for yours.
[05:03] Kamui
    She's only a courtesan in name.
[05:06] Kamui
    Hosen locked her up here when he wasn't using her to attract customers.
[05:12] Kamui
    She was allowed no clients nor freedom.
[05:14] Kamui
    Hosen forced Hinowa to rot to death here.
[05:18] Kamui
    No, I suppose you could say that Hinowa chose this for herself.
[05:22] Kamui
    In order to protect you.
[05:25] Kamui
    Yet you still came here.
[05:27] Kamui
    Wasting Hinowa's years of hardship and resolve and putting yourself in danger...
[05:34] Kamui
    But you still came to see her.
[05:37] Kamui
    Which means you're resolved in your own way.
[05:40] Kamui
    It's your job to go from here on.
[05:48] Hinowa
    Leave.
[05:50] Hinowa
    You won't find what you're seeking here.
[05:55] Hinowa
    Leave.
[05:56] Seita
    M-Mom...?
[05:59] Seita
    Is that you, mom?!
[06:00] Seita
    Open up!
[06:01] Seita
    You know who I am, right?!
[06:03] Seita
    I'm your son, Seita!
[06:05] Seita
    Mo...!
[06:05] Hinowa
    I have no son.
[06:07] Hinowa
    I don't know any dirty brat like you.
[06:11] Seita
    Why do you know...?
[06:14] Seita
    Why do you know I'm a dirty brat?
[06:17] Seita
    You were watching me, weren't you?
[06:19] Seita
    Whenever I was looking up at you from below,
[06:22] Seita
    you were also looking at me, right?
[06:25] Seita
    You never responded when I shouted to you,
[06:28] Seita
    but that was so I wouldn't get involved.
[06:30] Seita
    You were struggling to keep your mouth shut, weren't you?!
[06:35] Seita
    Mom...
[06:37] Seita
    I had no idea...
[06:39] Seita
    that you were suffering here.
[06:42] Seita
    I always wondered why I was the only unfortunate one.
[06:46] Seita
    When I was living in poverty with Grandpa...
[06:49] Seita
    When I was all alone after Grandpa died...
[06:52] Seita
    I blamed it all on you for abandoning me.
[06:55] Seita
    I had no idea.
[06:58] Seita
    I didn't know anything at all.
[07:02] Seita
    That you were protecting me this whole time.
[07:10] Seita
    Now it's my turn!
[07:14] Seita
    Now it's my turn to save you, mom!
[07:19] Seita
    Now I'm going to protect you, mom!!
[07:22] Seita
    I won't leave you in there!!
[07:24] Seita
    This time we'll leave this place for sure!
[07:26] Seita
    Both of us are going up together!
[07:29] Seita
    So mom...
[07:30] Seita
    Open the door!
[07:32] Seita
    Please, mom!
[07:33] Seita
    Mom!!
[07:34] Seita
    Mo...!
[07:35] ---
    Stop it!
[07:37] Hinowa
    Your mom isn't here.
[07:40] Hinowa
    Didn't I tell you that?
[07:42] Seita
    M-Mom...
[07:44] Hosen
    That's not true.
[07:47] Hosen
    If you want to see her so badly, I'll let you.
[07:53] Hosen
    Personally...
[07:56] Seita
    H-Hosen!
[07:57] Kamui
    Oops, we've been found.
[08:00] Hosen
    Take her with you if you want.
[08:03] Hosen
    Child, that is your mother.
[08:08] Hosen
    Hinowa isn't your mother.
[08:11] Hosen
    Your mother left this world long ago.
[08:16] Seita
    What are you...talking about...
[08:18] Hosen
    You think a courtesan of Yoshiwara could give birth to a child unnoticed?
[08:26] Hosen
    Eight years ago, a prostitute became pregnant with a child.
[08:30] Hosen
    But becoming pregnant in Yoshiwara means death for both.
[08:35] Hosen
    So a number of the women hid her and secretly assisted the birth.
[08:42] Hosen
    Yes...
[08:44] Hosen
    That was you, child!
[08:46] Hosen
    Your mother was weak and died after giving birth to you.
[08:52] Hosen
    Unfortunately, the woman over there isn't your mother.
[08:56] Hosen
    Dreaming of becoming a mother, yet couldn't.
[09:00] Hosen
    Just a pathetic women who immersed herself in playing a mother role.
[09:06] Hinowa
    Why...
[09:08] Hinowa
    Why did you come to this place?
[09:11] Hinowa
    Why did you come?
[09:14] Hinowa
    You should have just forgotten about someone like me.
[09:18] Hinowa
    Just knowing you lived up there for the rest of us would have been enough.
[09:23] Hinowa
    I'm not worth risking your life to protect.
[09:30] Hosen
    You won't find your mother anywhere in this world.
[09:34] Hosen
    Now that you understand, take that memento of her and get lost.
[09:37] Hosen
    Of course, it's a different story if you wish to see your mother in the afterlife.
[09:47] Seita
    I have a mother!
[09:49] Seita
    Right here!
[09:50] Seita
    My mom is alive!
[09:52] Seita
    Right here!
[09:54] Seita
    The one who delivered me from this eternal darkness to the surface!
[09:57] Seita
    The one who risked her life to give birth to me!
[10:00] Seita
    It doesn't matter if we aren't related by blood!
[10:03] Seita
    This person is my mom!
[10:07] Hosen
    You don't know when to give up, child.
[10:09] Hosen
    I have no choice.
[10:11] Hosen
    Go meet your real mother in the underworld.
[10:21] Seita
    Th-This is...
[10:23] Gin
    Hey, I wasn't told about this.
[10:26] Gin
    I came cause they said the best woman in Yoshiwara was here.
[10:31] Gin
    But it looks like she's got a kid.
[10:35] Gin
    Those tears prove it.
[10:39] Seita
    M-Mom...?
[10:41] Gin
    Hey manager, get me a different girl.
[10:44] Gin
    One that can withstand some really rough SM play.
[10:47] Hosen
    Who are you?
[10:52] Gin
    Nobody special.
[10:54] Gin
    Just a girl-loving playboy.
[11:07] Seita
    Gi...
[11:08] Seita
    Gin-san!!
[11:10] Gin
    What are you doing, dummy?
[11:12] Gin
    Just get going and don't worry about me.
[11:14] Seita
    But...
[11:17] Seita
    Is it okay for me to go?
[11:20] Seita
    Is it okay for a dirty brat like me
[11:23] Seita
    to call such a beautiful person my mom?
[11:28] Gin
    You called her that all this time and now you're asking?
[11:31] Gin
    Call to her.
[11:33] Gin
    Yell "Mom" from the bottom of your heart.
[11:43] Seita
    M-Mom...
[11:45] Hinowa
    Are you sure?
[11:46] Hinowa
    Calling someone not related to you...
[11:49] Hinowa
    a dirty woman like me, your mom?
[11:54] Seita
    Mom...
[11:56] Hinowa
    Are you sure?
[11:57] Hinowa
    Calling someone who wasn't able to do anything for you...
[12:01] Hinowa
    a woman like me, as your mom?
[12:05] Seita
    Mom...
[12:06] Hinowa
    Are you sure?
[12:08] Hinowa
    A woman like me becoming your mom...?
[12:14] Seita
    Mom!
[12:17] Hinowa
    Seita!
[12:29] Kamui
    He was the one from when...
[12:34] Kamui
    Wow, so he survived.
[12:37] Hosen
    I see.
[12:39] Hosen
    You're the ronin the child hired.
[12:42] Hosen
    Are you the one who's been running wild around my city?
[12:46] Gin
    Running wild?
[12:48] Gin
    Don't make me laugh.
[12:49] Gin
    I haven't bought a single woman.
[12:52] Hosen
    I see.
[12:53] Hosen
    Then I'll prepare a banquet for you.
[12:56] Hosen
    A banquet of blood.
[12:58] Gin
    I appreciate the generous gesture, but I'll have to pass.
[13:02] Gin
    I can't enjoy a drink while looking at an old geezer's receding hairline.
[13:07] Gin
    I can't enjoy a drink at a place like this.
[13:11] Gin
    Yeah, you did a fine job with bringing in this many babes.
[13:17] Gin
    But it doesn't matter how many beautiful women,
[13:20] Gin
    or how much fine liquor you have.
[13:22] Gin
    I won't drink a single drop in your place.
[13:26] Gin
    I can't enjoy a drink poured by women in chains.
[13:32] Gin
    I can't enjoy a drink poured by someone in tears.
[13:37] Gin
    I'd take a crappy snack joint full of old ladies instead,
[13:40] Gin
    if they serve me with a smile.
[13:43] Gin
    I'd take a bar run by a vicious cabaret girl instead,
[13:47] Gin
    if everyone could drink and laugh.
[13:51] Gin
    I'd take a field in the middle of nowhere with no women, wine, or even a roof instead,
[13:54] Gin
    if we could drink cheap liquor and watch the moon.
[13:58] Gin
    A woman's tears...
[14:00] Gin
    are too much to go with drinking.
[14:04] Hosen
    So you came to shatter those chains?
[14:06] Hosen
    To free Hinowa...the woman of Yoshiwara from the King of the Night?
[14:13] Gin
    It's not that big a deal.
[14:15] Gin
    I just want a drink.
[14:18] Gin
    And have the finest courtesan serve it to me with one great smile.
[14:23] Kamui
    How amusing.
[14:25] Kamui
    Picking a fight with the King of the Night for the sake of a drink.
[14:29] Kamui
    Guess Earth has its share of amusing people.
[14:32] Kamui
    Right, Boss Hosen?
[14:40] Kamui
    Ooh, scary.
[14:41] Kamui
    Don't be so angry.
[14:43] Kamui
    Don't worry. I won't interfere with you anymore.
[14:46] Hosen
    Kamui! What are you after?
[14:49] Hosen
    After attempting to take my life, you help that child by taking him to Hinowa.
[14:55] Hosen
    You want to interfere with me that badly?
[14:58] Hosen
    Or perhaps...
[15:00] Hosen
    Watching that child long for his mother brought back memories of the past?
[15:06] Hosen
    You now feel like atoning for abandoning your sick mother?
[15:15] Kamui
    What nonsense.
[15:18] Kamui
    I was wondering what sort of woman could turn the King of the Night into a fool,
[15:23] Kamui
    but she turns out to be a miserable wretch clinging to a dirty brat.
[15:26] Kamui
    The sun of Yoshiwara? Yeah, right.
[15:29] Kamui
    This isn't it.
[15:30] Kamui
    The strength I seek isn't for some cheap crap like this.
[15:35] Gin
    Like not hesitating to kill your own sister or father.
[15:38] Gin
    Is that what you mean?
[15:40] Gin
    Talk about ironic.
[15:42] Gin
    If there's a brother willing to kill his real sister,
[15:45] Gin
    there are people with bonds stronger than those between a parent and a child.
[15:50] Gin
    Who knows which would be considered the real family.
[15:54] Hosen
    Very amusing.
[15:58] Hosen
    Why don't you show me how strong those bonds are?
[16:06] Hosen
    Whether you can release them from my chains...
[16:10] Hosen
    or for me to break through their bonds.
[16:15] Hosen
    Let's see who will win!
[16:19] Hosen
    Can a mere Earthling shatter the chains...
[16:24] Hosen
    of the King of the Night?!
[16:26] Gin
    A chain made from a perverted old man's wet dreams?
[16:30] Gin
    I'll break it with a single strike.
[16:33] Gin
    Every night has to end eventually.
[16:35] Gin
    It's time for this city to see dawn.
[16:38] Gin
    The King of the Night can watch the sunrise,
[16:41] Gin
    and go nighty night!!
[16:43] Seita
    Gin-san!
[17:01] Seita
    G-Gin-san!
[17:07] Hosen
    Ah...
[17:11] Hosen
    So you blocked my attack?
[17:14] Gin
    What the hell...
[17:17] Gin
    One hit...
[17:18] Gin
    One strike and it feels like...
[17:20] Gin
    my body's lost all its energy and stamina!
[17:26] Gin
    Hosen, King of the Night.
[17:28] Gin
    This is the power of the man once known as the King of the Yato?
[17:33] Kamui
    Oh, wow.
[17:35] Kamui
    You lasted ten seconds against the King of the Night.
[17:37] Kamui
    This is getting interesting.
[17:39] Kamui
    Good luck, mister.
[17:41] Kamui
    I feel like rooting for you now.
[17:42] Gin
    Don't look down on me, you damn kid.
[17:45] Gin
    Ten seconds? Hell, I'll last till I die of old age.
[17:48] Gin
    I'll die peacefully while surrounded by grandchildren, you bastard!
[17:52] Hosen
    Your life has already ended.
[17:56] Hosen
    The second you decided to oppose Yoshiwara...the King of the Night!
[18:06] Gin
    My bones are grating...
[18:08] Gin
    My muscles are crying in pain...
[18:10] Gin
    I can't relax a single finger, a single muscle!
[18:15] Gin
    I'll be crushed in the next moment!
[18:39] Gin
    No time to breath...or even blink!
[18:43] Gin
    A single blow forces my soul from my body!
[18:56] Seita
    Gin-san!
[18:57] Kamui
    What, over already?
[19:00] Kamui
    That's no fun.
[19:02] Hosen
    It seems you're not just all talk.
[19:05] Hosen
    Within Earth standards, that is.
[19:08] Hosen
    Of course, you samurai wouldn't be able to shatter my chains,
[19:13] Hosen
    when you couldn't even protect your own nation from the Amanto.
[19:18] Hosen
    When a lion loses a turf war,
[19:21] Hosen
    it must turn over its land and its females.
[19:25] Hosen
    Do you understand?
[19:27] Hosen
    You samurai no longer have a home,
[19:29] Hosen
    or the right to hold women.
[19:33] Hosen
    Because your lands and females all became ours long ago!
[19:40] Hosen
    That's right.
[19:42] Hosen
    This city, its women, and Hinowa all belong to the King of the Night!
[19:46] Hosen
    They're chained up as my pets.
[19:50] Hosen
    They cannot escape anywhere.
[19:52] Hosen
    And you losers don't have the right to stop me!
[19:57] Hosen
    It's your fault for being too weak to protect anything!
[20:03] Hosen
    A loser should act like one and just suck on his thumb...
[20:08] Hosen
    and watch as this nation and its women are violated by the stronger ones!
[20:14] Hosen
    In the other world, where your comrades are waiting for you!
[20:23] Gin
    We haven't lost...
[20:27] Gin
    ...I'm still fighting!
[20:30] Hosen
    You son of a...!!
[20:37] Seita
    Gin-san!!
[20:38] Gin
    Stay back!!
[20:39] Gin
    What are you doing, idiot?
[20:41] Gin
    Get going already.
[20:43] Gin
    Take your mom and get outta here!
[20:46] Seita
    N-No!
[20:47] Seita
    Are you telling me to run away by myself and leave you behind?!
[20:50] Seita
    I can't do that after getting you involved in all of this!
[20:55] Gin
    Getting me involved?
[20:57] Gin
    I butted in on my own.
[20:59] Gin
    Get going.
[21:01] Gin
    If something happens to the two of you,
[21:03] Gin
    we'll have come here for nothing.
[21:06] Seita
    No...!
[21:07] Seita
    No way!
[21:09] Seita
    I may be useless,
[21:11] Seita
    but I'll help you!
[21:12] Seita
    I'll stay with you until the end!
[21:14] Gin
    You stupid...
[21:15] Seita
    You said so!
[21:17] Seita
    That there were bonds stronger than family, even when people aren't related by blood?
[21:22] Seita
    That's right.
[21:23] Seita
    Blood doesn't matter.
[21:25] Seita
    You all reformed me from being a thief.
[21:29] Seita
    You all taught me how to lead a respectable life.
[21:32] Seita
    You all kept me...from being all alone.
[21:36] Seita
    It wasn't very long, but it was fun.
[21:39] Seita
