[00:07] (Flashback) Gin
    We would've made a whole bunch of money
    if you hadn't gotten in my way there!
[00:12] (Flashback) Shin
    What are you saying?
    Don't ignore your own mistake!
[00:14] (Flashback) Gin
    I didn't make any mistakes.
[00:14] (Flashback) Kag
    Oh, Sadaharu. We're home.
[00:16] (Flashback) Shin
    If that wasn't a mistake,
    I don't know what is!
[00:16] (Flashback) Kag
    Hey! Stop crying over spilled milk!
[00:19] (Flashback) Gin
    Uh, it was your fault in the first place!
[00:19] (Flashback) Shin
    Uh, it was your fault in the first place!
[00:29] U
    You gave everything you have,
    and made so many sacrifices,
[00:34] U
    but what you've gained is
    so trifling in comparison.
[00:40] U
    All you've done is momentarily
    strip me of my armor of immortality.
[00:47] U
    Besides, as I'm sure you realize,
[00:51] U
    your feeble flame of hope is already fading.

[02:44] (Flashback) Shin
    Good morning!
[02:46] (Flashback) Shin
    I'm sorry.
[02:47] (Flashback) Shin
    Sis has a cold, which is why I'm a bit late.
[02:51] (Flashback) Shin
    Good morning, Sadaharu.
[02:54] (Flashback) Shin
    Oh, right.
[02:57] (Flashback) Shin
    I'm home, Sadaharu.
[03:09] (Flashback) Kag
    The rain got me good.
[03:10] (Flashback) Kag
    I should've left sooner.
[03:14] (Flashback) Kag
    I've always hated walking
    home in this weather.
[03:19] (Flashback) Kag
    Wet streets,
[03:21] (Flashback) Kag
    and an empty home.
[03:25] (Flashback) Kag
    This just brings back bad memories.
[03:29] (Flashback) Kag
    Huh? Sadaharu?
[03:33] (Flashback) Kag
    Where'd he run off to?
SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan
[03:41] (Flashback) Kag
    I'm home.
[03:43] (Flashback) Kag
    Uh, you just got here, too.
[03:58] (Flashback) Gin
    I'm sick of puking.
[04:00] (Flashback) Gin
    I keep saying I'll never drink again,
    but this time I swear I'll stick to it.
[04:06] (Flashback) Gin
    Crap, my head hurts like
    it's being split open.
[04:09] (Flashback) Gin
    It's like there's an elephant on my head.
[04:11] (Flashback) Gin
    Oh, Sadaharu, help me out here.
[04:14] (Flashback) Gin
    I drank too much, and I can't move.
[04:16] (Flashback) Gin
    Take me inside, please.
[04:19] (Flashback) Gin
    What's with that look?
[04:21] (Flashback) Gin
    Why do you have to be so demanding?
[04:23] (Flashback) Gin
    Relax. I did buy you something.
[04:26] (Flashback) Gin
    Go get that bag.
[04:29] (Flashback) Gin
    It's monja. Eat up.
[04:31] (Flashback) Gin
    Ow! My headache got worse!
[04:33] (Flashback) Gin
    And I can't see anything! Help, Sadaharu!
[04:39] (Flashback) Gin
    Huh? I'm better now.
[04:41] (Flashback) Gin
    I'm good now, Sadaharu.
[04:43] (Flashback) Gin
    Thanks for your help.
[04:46] (Flashback) Gin
    Also...
[04:48] (Flashback) Gin
    I'm home.
[05:15] Shin
    Sadaharu, wait just a bit.
[05:21] Shin
    Very soon,
[05:23] Shin
    we'll come home to you.
[05:26] Shin
    So please...
[05:33] Shin
    Bark for us one more time.
[05:38] Shin
    Welcome us home with a bark!
[05:49] U
    It's over.
[05:53] U
    He died,
[05:55] U
    and the dragon revived.
[06:09] U
    You gave me a surprisingly hard time.
[06:12] U
    However...
[06:15] U
    Now, I can welcome the end of
    the world with no resistance.
SIGN    Lake Toya
[06:28] Gin
    Sadaharu...
[06:48] U
    What is this?
[06:49] Oto
    Good grief.
[06:51] Oto
    How many more sacrifices will we have
    to offer for our planet to calm down?
[06:58] Cat
    Well, if we offer her a mutt and three
    stooges, she might just return them.
[07:04] Tae
    True.
[07:05] Tae
    In that case,
[07:07] Tae
    let's have her take all the lives she
    wants from here until she's satisfied.
[07:13] Gin
    Y-You guys...
[07:16] Tae
    We won't make you guys
    carry the burden alone.
[07:20] Tae
    This is our planet.
[07:25] Tae
    We'll fight together with you until the end.
[07:28] Tae
    So don't give in, guys.
[07:32] Tae
    You're not alone.
[07:41] (Flashback) Nob
    Using life as a power source?
[07:43] (Flashback) Ane
    Yes. Ordinary people can't
    suppress ley lines like we can.
[07:49] (Flashback) Ane
    But if we act as mediums, they could
    convert their life energy into Zen power.
[07:54] (Flashback) Mone
    That's absurd.
[07:55] (Flashback) Mone
    We'd be making them carry
    the fated duty of our clan.
[08:00] (Flashback) Mone
    We'd be asking them to give up their
    lives to suppress the ley lines here.
[08:06] (Flashback) Mone
    Do you think he or the rest are
    fighting out of some sense of duty?
[08:17] (Flashback) Mone
    Komako!
[08:19] (Flashback) Nob
    Yes.
[08:21] (Flashback) Nob
    Even without a duty,
[08:24] (Flashback) Nob
    they would surely stand there...
[08:27] (Flashback) Nob
    Just to stand with their friends.
[08:34] Ane
    Take it!
[08:34] Mone
    Our power!
[08:37] Bo
    Everyone's feelings!
[08:47] U
    Who do you humans think you are?
[08:55] Kyu
    Stop us if you can.
[08:57] Kyu
    We will not take a single
    step back from here!
[09:02] Jir
    We've come this far together,
[09:04] Jir
    so we'll go with you all the
    way, be it to heaven or hell!
[09:12] Tsu
    No matter how many times you revive,
[09:14] Tsu
    we will keep standing back up!
[09:17] Zen
    We won't let anyone else die!
[09:19] Sac
    So guys, just one more time...
[09:34] U
    Begone.
[09:36] U
    Just how far will you take
    your futile resistance?
[09:39] U
    Humans, I know you better
    than you know yourselves.
[09:45] U
    You're foolish, cowardly,
    cruel, and filthy creatures.
[09:53] U
    Creatures that kept repeating their
    mistakes, caused much suffering,
[09:59] U
    and never stopped fearing me.
[10:03] U
    Creatures that I have killed over and over.
[10:11] U
    Creatures that I shall put an end to now...
[10:15] U
    No, creatures that are already done for.
[10:22] U
    Yes.
[10:24] U
    They should be done for by now.
[10:27] U
    The humanity I know
[10:30] U
    would've been afraid, given up, despaired,
[10:34] U
    and everything would've been over already.
[10:38] U
    But what is with these people?
[10:44] U
    What is this emotion I'm feeling?
[10:50] Nob
    You're right.
[10:53] Nob
    Humans are foolish, cowardly,
    and cruel creatures.
[10:59] Nob
    But there's one thing you're forgetting.
[11:07] Nob
    Humans are creatures that
    fight their own weakness.
[11:12] Gin
    The creatures you know
    of no longer exist here,
[11:17] Gin
    creature who fears humanity!
[11:22] U
    Fear? Me?
[11:27] U
    Fear humans?
[11:32] U
    No, that is wrong.
[11:35] U
    I simply don't understand
[11:38] U
    the human who caused me,
    who had always cursed people,
[11:41] U
    to give birth to another
    self that loved people.
[11:48] U
    Why?
[11:51] U
    You shouldn't be able to stand anymore.
[11:56] U
    Your sword should've been broken forever.
[12:03] U
    So why?
[12:14] U
    Why do you still stand there?
[12:28] U
    Why is it?
[12:37] U
    I don't understand.
[12:51] U
    I don't understand!
[13:07] U
    No, I knew all along.
[13:12] U
    That knowledge is what made
    me want to get rid of him.
[13:23] U
    Him, who could possibly erase even me.
[13:39] U
    I know all too well...
[13:44] U
    That boy,
[13:49] U
    and how powerful humanity can be.
[14:17] U
    To think that man was still a part of me...
[14:23] U
    A mere fragment born to me as
    I drifted through countless lives.
[14:29] U
    But he has destroyed my eternity.
[14:34] U
    I was the one who was a mere fragment, huh?
[14:50] Hat
    Brother!
[14:51] Mad
    Hang in there!
[14:54] Shi
    This is bad.
[14:55] Shi
    At this rate, the Flame of
    Kagutsuchi's energy will...
[14:58] Shi
    I-Is there nothing we can do?
[15:02] Han
    Now, I could get through the security,
    access the Heavenly Bird's central systems,
[15:07] Han
    and maybe get that energy under control.
[15:10] Sho
    Hankai!
[15:11] Shi
    Wh-What are our chances of success?
[15:14] Han
    You're better off not knowing.
[15:16] Han
    But as long as it's not zero
    percent, it isn't impossible.
[15:19] Han
    We still have hope.
[15:23] Sho
    I never thought I'd hear those
    words come out of your mouth.
[15:28] Sak
    No matter how it turns out,
[15:31] Sak
    our destination remains the same.
[15:33] Kat
    Earth or hell, it makes no difference.
[15:38] Shi
    You two...
[15:40] Sak
    Wherever it is, they...
[15:43] Kat
    They'll be standing there, waiting for us.
[16:10] Shin
    What is that?
[16:11] Kag
    A spaceship?
[16:14] U
    Humans.
[16:17] U
    This isn't the end.
[16:21] U
    You have gone and chosen...
[16:26] U
    An endless war,
[16:29] U
    and a life dyed in sorrow and suffering.
[16:36] U
    Nobody can put an end to it for you anymore.
[16:42] U
    There is nobody who can
    save you people anymore.
[16:55] U
    One day, you will truly understand,
[16:59] U
    Shoyo's student...
[17:07] U
    You couldn't save Shoyo.
[17:13] U
    Nobody can save your teacher anymore.
[21:46] Shin
    The land of the samurai.
[21:48] Shin
    There was a time, long ago, when our
    country was called by that name.
[21:52] Shin
    The skies over Edo, which the samurai
    laid their lives down to defend,
[21:56] Shin
    are again filled with ships
    from strange worlds.
[21:59] Shin
    The streets of Edo, which the samurai
    laid their lives down to defend,
[22:03] Shin
    are again filled with swaggering,
    arrogant aliens.
[22:13] Shin
    Two years since that fateful day...
[22:15] Shin
    Even as it bore the scars of war,
[22:18] Shin
    Edo was slowly, but surely, returning
    to the city it used to be.
[22:25] Manager
    I told you that's not the one!
[22:28] Manager
    Nowadays, even a golden retriever
    can handle the register!
[22:32] Manager
    You're human! You've been
    working here for a month!
[22:35] Manager
    Why can't you do this?!
[22:37] Manager
    You moron!
[22:40] Manager
    You remind me of another good-for-nothing
    kid who used to work here.
[22:44] Ama
    Just leave it at that, boss.
[22:47] Ama
    Hey, kid, don't you bother with the
    register. Just get me some milk.
[22:51] Kid
    R-Right away.
[22:54] Manager
    S-Sir, you mustn't go so easy on him.
[22:58] Ama
    It's just, whenever I see a samurai these
    days, I feel kind of sorry for them.
[23:04] Ama
    This country's resources were completely
    depleted in the war two years ago,
[23:07] Ama
    and it can't even feed its people anymore.
[23:10] Ama
    The way they suck up to everyone to live
    makes them look like dead men walking.
[23:15] Ama
    When I see them like that...
[23:17] Kid
    Thanks for waiting.
[23:20] Ama
    I want to extend not only
    a hand, but also a leg!
[23:28] Shin
    Uh, excuse me.
[23:36] Ama
    What is wrong with you?!
[23:37] Ama
    Are you aware that we are
    Chatoran ambassadors?!
[23:41] Shin
    Blah, blah, blah.
[23:43] Shin
    Could you keep it down?
[23:48] Shin
    Are you in heat or something?
