**[00:04] Seimei**
I can no longer see...
**[00:06] Seimei**
Doman, it appears that I've
lost sight of myself again.
**[00:16] Seimei**
I no longer have a need to watch over all!
**[00:21] Seimei**
I only want one thing...
**[00:24] Seimei**
I only want to see her smile...
**[00:26] Seimei**
That's all.
**[00:39] Seimei**
Come get me, Doman!
**[00:43] Seimei**
I shall show you the true power of the head
of the Ketsuno clan, Seimei Ketsuno!
***SIGN***
**[02:31] N**
What incredible power!
**[02:33] N**
Seimei has gathered the power
that was used to protect Edo!
**[02:37] N**
Team Shirino's shikigami
was instantly eradicated!
**[02:42] N**
Soan has lost his will
to fight and run away!
**[02:46] N**
Only Doman remains!
**[02:52] Seimei**
Doman!
**[02:54] Doman**
Seimei...
**[02:55] Doman**
Seimei!
**[02:58] Doman**
Rin, Pyo, To, Sha, Kai,
Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!
**[03:02] Doman**
Mystic counter!
**[03:03] Doman**
Mantra of Victory!
**[03:05] Seimei**
Mystic seal!
**[03:06] Seimei**
Spell return!
**[03:09] N**
A furious exchange of blows!
**[03:12] N**
The arena is falling apart!
**[03:13] N**
It's like we're watching Dragonball!
**[03:18] Doman**
Seimei, I will not lose!
**[03:20] Doman**
I will never lose!
**[03:21] Seimei**
It's futile, Doman.
**[03:23] Seimei**
Your power alone will not
be enough to defeat me!
**[03:33] Doman**
namaH sarvatathaagatebhyaH
sarvamukhebhyaH, sarvathaa traT...
**[03:34] N**
But Doman is already chanting
another spell!
**[03:40] Seimei**
You have a bad habit of getting so excited that
you lose sight of everything else, Doman.
**[03:45] Seimei**
I'm going to wake you up!
**[03:48] Doman**
Silence!
**[03:49] Doman**
Acala Vidyaraja!
**[03:51] N**
Wow!
**[03:52] N**
Doman is surrounded by
a swirl of flaming wards!
**[03:56] N**
To cast so many wards simultaneously!
**[03:58] N**
Such an amazing display of power!
**[04:00] Doman**
Seimei...
**[04:01] Doman**
I shall incinerate you with an
infinite number of flames!
**[04:05] Seimei**
Doman.
**[04:06] Seimei**
Don't make up numbers.
**[04:08] Seimei**
Rounding 103 wards wouldn't
give you an infinite number.
**[04:13] Seimei**
I should mention that I'm using 1,562.
**[04:16] Seimei**
Nowhere near infinity.
**[04:18] N**
What an incredible number!
**[04:20] N**
Seimei has surpassed Doman
by controlling an infinite...!
**[04:24] N**
Correction, by controlling 1,562 wards!
**[04:27] N**
It's almost like a giant wall of fire!
**[04:31] Doman**
Seimei... You...
**[04:34] Seimei**
Doman, this is the difference
between our heart's wish!
**[04:44] N**
Overwhelming!
**[04:46] N**
Now that Seimei has unleashed
his true power,
**[04:49] N**
Doman is unable to fight back!
**[04:53] N**
Doman has been swallowed
in a giant flame to burn!
**[04:57] N**
Is the match over?!
**[05:02] Dad**
Doman...
**[05:04] Dad**
Doman...
**[05:07] Dad**
Doman, what are you doing?
**[05:09] Dad**
You're so hopeless.
**[05:11] Dad**
Staying up late again.
**[05:13] Doman**
But I can't fall asleep.
**[05:15] Dad**
Very well.
**[05:16] Dad**
I shall tell you another old tale.
**[05:20] Doman**
Yay! What are you going
to tell me about today?
**[05:22] Doman**
Kintaro slaying Gedomaru?
**[05:23] Doman**
Or Momotaro?
**[05:25] Dad**
No, I have an older story to tell you.
**[05:31] Dad**
Long, long ago, an evil
god lived in the capital.
**[05:37] Dad**
The brutal god, Antenmaru, shrouded
the capital in dark clouds
**[05:43] Dad**
and tortured the people
with an eternal rain.
**[05:47] Dad**
However, Antenmaru was sealed by the
mysterious power of two travelers.
**[05:56] Dad**
The skies cleared above the capital and the emperor
showed his appreciation for the brothers
**[06:02] Dad**
by granting the name Mikado, as protectors
of the capital, and made them his servants.
**[06:07] Dad**
The Mikado brothers were very close,
**[06:10] Dad**
and they were able to drive away
all forms of wickedness.
**[06:15] Dad**
Their strong bond kept the capital safe.
**[06:22] Dad**
But something happened to fracture their bond,
where demons had been unable to strike.
**[06:30] Dad**
The younger Mikado brother was in love with
the emperor's sister, the lovely princess.
**[06:38] Dad**
However, the princess lived in a different
world from the Mikado brothers.
**[06:43] Dad**
The younger brother's love was
a sad one that could never be.
**[06:48] Dad**
The younger brother kept his feelings
for the princess secret
**[06:51] Dad**
as he could only watch
over her from afar.
**[06:56] Dad**
That was when a shocking piece
of news reached his ears.
**[07:01] Dad**
The princess had been kidnapped.
**[07:05] Dad**
The kidnapper was...
**[07:08] Dad**
His older brother.
**[07:11] Dad**
Yes, the older brother was also
in love with the princess.
**[07:16] Dad**
Sadly, they had fallen in love with each other
without the younger brother knowing
**[07:22] Dad**
and eloped, abandoning their
position and prestige!
**[07:26] Dad**
The emperor was absolutely furious
**[07:28] Dad**
and declared that the older
brother be tried as a traitor.
**[07:33] Dad**
And the younger brother was
chosen to track him down.
**[07:38] Dad**
The younger brother set off on
his search with a heavy heart...
**[07:43] Dad**
But his older brother was living
happily with the princess...
**[07:47] Dad**
And when he saw their baby, his heart
was overcome with darkness.
**[07:55] Dad**
The next thing he knew, the two of them
were on the ground before him.
**[08:00] Dad**
The two people he loved most.
**[08:04] Dad**
He spared the baby because he could not bear
for his heart to be blackened any further.
**[08:14] Dad**
Once he returned to the capital, he was named
to a high position in the government.
**[08:18] Dad**
But despite his prestige, despite his beautiful
wife, his heart remained clouded.
**[08:27] Dad**
Rain continued to fall on the
capital, as it did in his heart.
**[08:33] Dad**
And the younger brother finally realized.
**[08:37] Dad**
That he was causing the rain...
**[08:41] Dad**
That he had become a demon...
**[08:46] Dad**
The darkness had spread from
his heart to the rest of his body,
**[08:51] Dad**
transforming him into the evil god he
and his brother had once sealed,
**[08:54] Dad**
Antenmaru!
**[08:57] Dad**
Antenmaru had been biding his
time after they sealed him,
**[09:01] Dad**
before possessing the younger brother through
his jealousy, hatred, and negative feelings,
**[09:07] Dad**
all while plotting revenge.
**[09:11] Dad**
However, it was too late
by the time he realized.
**[09:14] Dad**
An arrow was fired into his hideous face.
**[09:20] Dad**
There stood the son of his brother,
whose life he had spared.
**[09:27] Dad**
And thus, the clouds which had
shrouded the capital cleared.
**[09:31] Dad**
However, a new dark cloud was born.
**[09:36] Dad**
The son of the older brother
slew the revived Antenmaru
**[09:38] Dad**
and entered the Emperor's service,
founding the Ketsuno clan.
***SIGN*** [Ketsuno]
**[09:44] ---**
And the children of the younger brother
who were chased from the capital
**[09:47] ---**
and had their name taken,
the Shirino clan.
***SIGN*** [Shirino]
**[09:52] Dad**
The holy gate, Mikado, which
had once guarded the capital,
**[09:57] Dad**
was split in half like a dirty ass.
**[10:02] Dad**
And thus began the long struggle
between Ketsuno and Shirino.
**[10:08] Dad**
A spiral of growing hate...
**[10:11] Doman**
How am I supposed to fall asleep
after hearing all that melodrama?!
**[10:15] Dad**
Now listen, Doman.
**[10:18] Doman**
No way!
**[10:19] Doman**
You're going to tell me to
fight Seimei-kun again!
**[10:22] Dad**
So it's true that you've become
friendly with the Ketsuno boy.
**[10:28] Doman**
I don't care about the past!
**[10:30] Doman**
Don't force your family feud onto us!
**[10:33] Doman**
Seimei-kun's a really nice guy!
**[10:35] Doman**
He taught me how to curse
my enemies today!
**[10:39] Doman**
Once the two of us take over, the Ketsuno clan
and Shirino clan will get along together!
**[10:44] Doman**
We made a promise!
**[10:47] Dad**
You fool!
**[10:49] Dad**
Can you not understand the grudge our ancestors hold
for having their position and prestige taken away?!
**[10:55] Dad**
Get along together?
**[10:58] Dad**
That will never happen!
**[11:01] Dad**
If you have time to learn how to curse
your enemies from an enemy,
**[11:04] Dad**
curse that boy to death.
**[11:07] Dad**
If you don't end your
relationship with him,
**[11:11] Dad**
our relationship as father
and son ends here.
**[11:17] Shinpachi**
What's that?!
**[11:18] Shinpachi**
The mystical mark on Doman-san...!
**[11:25] Seimei**
It's too bad.
**[11:28] Seimei**
I thought we could become best friends.
**[11:33] A**
Hey, you hear?
**[11:34] A**
Our young master was beaten
up by the Ketsuno kid again.
**[11:38] B**
No chance there.
**[11:40] B**
That kid's said to be the greatest prodigy
the Ketsuno clan has ever seen.
**[11:45] B**
Adults can't even beat him,
and he's still young.
**[11:49] A**
Man, what a terrifying kid.
**[11:52] A**
Completely different from
our craven young master.
**[11:55] B**
I have to worry about our future when
our next head is so pathetic.
**[11:59] B**
Honestly, I envy the Ketsuno clan.
**[12:05] Dad**
You fool!
**[12:06] Dad**
You have the nerve to crawl
back to this house!
**[12:10] Dad**
You have shamed our clan!
**[12:11] Dad**
I told you not to return
until you defeated him!
**[12:14] Dad**
Hate him!
**[12:16] Dad**
Envy him!
**[12:17] Dad**
Despise him!
**[12:18] Dad**
We are armed with a millennia of malice!
**[12:22] Dad**
Change that hatred into power!
**[12:24] Dad**
Take everything back, even if it requires
you to become a demon!
**[12:34] Ketsu**
Are you okay?
**[12:36] Ketsu**
I'm sorry.
**[12:37] Ketsu**
My brother doesn't know
how to hold back.
**[12:44] Ketsu**
Oh no...
**[12:45] Ketsu**
You're bleeding from your butt.
**[12:48] Ketsu**
You can use mine.
**[12:51] Ketsu**
Help one another when in need, right?
***SIGN*** ["Rorie"] [Note: This is a play on "Laurier", a woman's sanitary napkin brand.]
**[12:56] N**
What is this?!
**[12:58] N**
The writing on Doman's
face is spreading!
**[13:04] N**
That's?!
**[13:06] Anten**
Doman.
**[13:08] Anten**
Surrender your body to me!
**[13:11] Anten**
The ones who banished your family from
the light to the dark should be hated!
**[13:16] Anten**
Should be destroyed!
**[13:18] Anten**
Why do you hesitate? Why do you wait?
**[13:22] Anten**
Surrender your body, just as it happened
a thousand years ago!
**[13:38] Ketsu**
I'm sorry...
**[13:40] Ketsu**
Today's that day...
**[13:46] Anten**
Recall!
**[13:47] Anten**
The magma of hatred
sleeping deep within!
**[13:51] Doman**
Hey, Christel.
**[13:52] Doman**
We're out of paper.
**[13:54] Ketsu**
Okay, then I'll leave some out here.
**[14:03] Doman**
That's all you ever have!
**[14:18] Anten**
Never forgive the ones who
took everything from you!
**[14:22] Anten**
If you can never have what you want,
**[14:24] Anten**
destroy it all!
**[14:27] Anten**
Soak into darkness!
**[14:30] Seimei**
Doman...
**[14:31] Seimei**
Did you channel yourself
into a shikigami?
**[14:34] Gedo**
No.
**[14:36] Gedo**
That is not a mere shikigami.
**[14:40] Gedo**
Lord Seimei, that man...
**[14:43] Gedo**
Has allowed his hatred to drive him
into summoning something terrible.
**[14:49] Seimei**
Don't tell me that's...?!
**[14:51] Gedo**
The most evil of gods, sealed by
the Ketsuno and Shirino clans
**[14:54] Gedo**
a thousand years ago
after a desperate fight.
**[14:59] Gedo**
Antenmaru.
**[15:16] Seimei**
Antenmaru, you say?!
**[15:18] Seimei**
The demon who almost destroyed
the capital a thousand years ago...
**[15:23] Seimei**
The strongest of the wrathful gods which
was sealed by our predecessors,
**[15:28] Seimei**
the Mikado, after many battles...
**[15:32] Seimei**
Why is it here?!
**[15:33] Gedo**
It was revived.
**[15:36] Gedo**
That man was driven by negative
feelings to seek power
**[15:41] Gedo**
and dabbled in the forbidden arts.
**[15:44] Gedo**
He's awakened the slumbering Antenmaru
and given his own body.
**[15:51] Seimei**
Turn his own body over to a demon...
**[15:54] Seimei**
How could he do this?
**[15:56] Seimei**
You intend to repeat the tragedy from
a thousand years ago, Doman?!
**[16:02] C**
Lord Doman! Get a hold of yourself!
**[16:04] C**
What's going on?!
**[16:08] Seimei**
No! He can no longer differentiate
between friend and foe!
**[16:11] Seimei**
Everyone run!
**[16:13] Seimei**
Wake up! Doman!
**[16:21] Seimei**
My spells don't work!
**[16:25] Kuzu**
Lord Seimei!
**[16:27] Kagura**
Shinpachi! We don't have
time to worry about rules!
**[16:46] Kuzu**
Darkness...
**[16:48] Kuzu**
Overwhelming darkness capable of even
swallowing Lord Seimei's spells...
**[16:54] Kuzu**
It consumes Doman's negative
feelings to grow stronger.
**[16:58] Kuzu**
It can no longer be stopped...
**[17:02] Kuzu**
It won't stop until it has shrouded
everything in darkness!
**[17:11] Kuzu**
Lord Seimei!
**[17:12] Seimei**
Stay back!
**[17:13] Seimei**
Gedomaru! Kuzunoha!
**[17:15] Seimei**
Take that man and his
friends and escape!
**[17:19] Kuzu**
Lord Seimei!
**[17:22] Kuzu**
Gedomaru?!
**[17:24] Gedo**
It's too early to give up.
**[17:27] Gedo**
This man has yet to play his role.
**[17:31] Kuzu**
What are you saying?!
**[17:33] Gedo**
Continue treating him.
**[17:35] Gedo**
His right ball is more or less healed.
**[17:38] Kuzu**
Lord Seimei wasn't able to
stand against that thing!
**[17:41] Kuzu**
What could this man with
no balls possibly do?!
**[17:46] Gedo**
It's true that he has no balls...
**[17:50] Gedo**
But this man...
**[17:52] Gedo**
...has a soul that can never be crushed.
**[18:01] Kuzu**
What are you doing?!
**[18:03] Kuzu**
Don't push yourself!
**[18:04] Kuzu**
Your left ball is still crushed!
**[18:07] Gintoki**
It's just as she said, I'm good to go...
**[18:13] Gintoki**
Help keep my balance...
**[18:16] Gintoki**
Speaking of which,
it's time for me to use this baby.
**[18:23] Gintoki**
Got a rendezvous with a demon.
**[18:26] Gintoki**
Spruce it up a bit.
**[18:29] Gintoki**
Something flashy enough
to stick up its dirty ass!
**[18:39] Kagura**
What are you doing?!
**[18:42] Kagura**
There isn't time to worry about
which side you're on!
**[18:45] Kagura**
At this rate, the Ketsuno clan, Shirino
clan, and all of Edo will be wiped out!
**[18:50] Kagura**
Help him out!
**[18:51] Kagura**
You may have had your differences,
but you were all trying to protect Edo!
**[18:55] Seimei**
Didn't I tell you to escape?!
**[18:58] Kagura**
Sister lover!
**[18:59] Kagura**
Hold on!
**[19:00] Kagura**
We're coming to help!
**[19:02] Seimei**
This is the fate of those born
to Ketsuno and Shirino.
**[19:06] Seimei**
We may struggle, but we cannot
escape a millennia of karma.
**[19:14] Seimei**
Our ancestors destroyed one
another over a woman.
**[19:18] Seimei**
Our ancestors took from yours,
and threw you into the darkness...
**[19:24] Seimei**
And I have repeated that mistake.
**[19:30] Seimei**
However, Doman...
**[19:32] Seimei**
I can not allow a woman to
die because of our fight!
**[19:36] Seimei**
And Doman...
**[19:38] Seimei**
I won't let you die!
**[19:41] Seimei**
I am the only one who needs to die.
**[19:46] Seimei**
Doman, I knew that you
had fallen for Christel.
**[19:52] Seimei**
That you were suffering from the mess
created by your feelings for her,
**[19:57] Seimei**
animosity toward me, pressure
from your clan, and whatnot.
**[20:03] Seimei**
I thought I could ease your suffering...
**[20:06] Seimei**
A time would come where the three of us could
laugh together, that's what I thought...
**[20:11] Seimei**
But in the end, I only hurt
Christel and you...
**[20:18] Seimei**
Fate is beyond our control, Doman.
**[20:20] Seimei**
I may know a thousand different spells,
**[20:24] Seimei**
but I don't know a single way
to make up with a friend.
**[20:31] Seimei**
I was the one who pushed
you into that state.
**[20:37] Seimei**
It is my duty to take it all in.
**[20:42] Seimei**
Throw me all your hatred, sadness...
**[20:47] Seimei**
I'll accept all of your darkness.
**[20:52] Seimei**
My life would be a cheap price to pay to
end this stupid thousand-year-long fight...
**[20:59] Seimei**
Let's end this, Doman.
**[21:03] Seimei**
You must not lose yourself like your
ancestor and attempt to destroy all!
**[21:09] Seimei**
Come back to us, Doman!
**[21:12] Seimei**
Remember!
**[21:14] Seimei**
Was the woman you loved meant to
stand in the rain under a dark sky?
**[21:19] Seimei**
Was the Christel you loved...?
**[21:22] Seimei**
The Christel we loved...?
**[21:27] Shinpachi**
Seimei-san!
**[21:30] Anten**
Descendant of Mikado.
**[21:33] Anten**
It is too late.
**[21:36] Anten**
Your voices cannot reach him,
now that I have swallowed him.
**[21:41] Anten**
I laugh that a weakling consumed by darkness
would ever think to control my power.
**[21:48] Anten**
However, his negative
feelings served useful.
**[21:53] Anten**
I'll gladly be taking them.
**[21:56] Anten**
And thus, Ketsuno and Shirino, the two despicable
Mikado bloodlines, have been destroyed.
**[22:02] Anten**
However, my thousand-year-long
curse will not end!
**[22:08] Anten**
I will not allow a single
drop of Mikado blood,
**[22:11] Anten**
responsible for sealing me,
to exist in this land!
**[22:17] Anten**
What?!
**[22:23] Anten**
Who are you...?!
**[22:25] Gintoki**
Just a fan.
