[00:11] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    In other words, you want my
    daughter. Is that correct?
[00:14] (Flashback) Haruto
    Huh?
[00:15] (Flashback) Haruto
    Oh, no. Actually,
[00:18] (Flashback) Haruto
    I just want to learn the secret technique
    that's passed down in this village.
[00:22] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    And what is the technique you seek?
[00:25] (Flashback) Haruto
    A technique that will slay
    others with certainty.
[00:30] (Flashback) Haruto
    I go to battlefields with
    my master on occasion.
[00:33] (Flashback) Haruto
    And I get a sense of confidence from her
    that nothing in this world can't be slain.
[00:38] (Flashback) Haruto
    That confidence is what allows us
    to determine what's worth slaying.
[00:41] (Flashback) Haruto
    I believe that is the true
    value of sword techniques.
[00:45] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    I see. However...
[00:48] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    I will not give my daughter away
    to a guy I know nothing about
[00:52] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    who appeared from out of nowhere!
[00:53] (Flashback) Haruto
    I can't just leave here empty-handed either.
[00:57] (Flashback) Haruto
    I shall stay in this village until
    you teach me the technique.
[01:01] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Nonsense!
[01:02] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Leave at once! Besides, you already
    have a great master, don't you?
[01:04] Kanoko
    You're welcome to stay.
[01:07] Kanoko
    Do your best if there's something
    you want to accomplish,
[01:08] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    You should learn the basics
    from your master first.
[01:10] Kanoko
    instead of stopping and wiping your tears.
[01:12] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Besides, you make it sound
    like it's nothing...
[01:13] Kanoko
    You must move on by working
    hard and wiping your sweat!
[01:14] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    ...but the secret technique is
    our clan's precious daughter!
[01:17] (Flashback) Haruto
    Wha... Uh, sure.
SIGN    Phantom Blade
[01:23] Shiori
    How about this?
[01:25] Shiori
    I did it!
[01:27] Shiori
    There we go...
[01:31] Shiori
    Murasaki-san!
[01:32] Murasaki
    Hmm?
[01:35] Murasaki
    Don't worry. There's nothing wrong with me.
[01:39] Shiori
    Okay...
[01:40] Murasaki
    How did you know that I was up here?
[01:42] Shiori
    I am a teacher, after all.
[01:45] Murasaki
    Are you concerned about me and my sister?
[01:48] Murasaki
    Well, it's not like I
    want to keep it a secret.
[01:52] Murasaki
    Care for a little story, then?
[02:01] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Oh, Saki.
[02:02] Haruto
    Huh?
[02:02] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Come here and introduce yourself.
[02:06] (Flashback) Haruto
    Oh, there she goes.
[02:07] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Sheesh. What's so hard about saying hi?
[02:12] (Flashback) Haruto
    It's okay. I bet she got scared
    because a stranger is in her house.
[02:23] (Flashback) Haruto
    Good morning, Saki.
[02:25] (Flashback) Haruto
    My name is Haruto. Nice to meet you.
[02:28] (Flashback) Haruto
    So, you like kaiju?
[02:31] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Dunno.
[02:32] (Flashback) Haruto
    You don't know?
[02:34] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I think I like them.
[02:36] (Flashback) Murasaki
    But it's not my most favorite.
    I still don't know what I like.
[02:41] (Flashback) Haruto
    Does it have to be your
    most favorite, though?
[02:43] (Flashback) Murasaki
    A ninja is only allowed to like
    their most favorite thing.
[02:48] (Flashback) Haruto
    And why is that?
[02:50] (Flashback) Murasaki
    To not cause any hesitation.
[02:52] (Flashback) Murasaki
    In case of an emergency,
[02:54] (Flashback) Murasaki
    we need to be able to leave everything behind
    except for that one thing we care most about.
[02:58] (Flashback) Haruto
    What you care about most, huh?
[03:03] (Flashback) Murasaki
    What do you care most about, Haruto?
[03:06] (Flashback) Haruto
    Hmm, I care about myself the most.
[03:10] (Flashback) Murasaki
    You're arrogant.
[03:12] (Flashback) Haruto
    You finally noticed?
[03:25] (Flashback) Yuuki
    It's only been a few days,
    but look how tan you got!
[03:28] (Flashback) Kanoko
    I'm sure it's boring, since
    there's nothing to do here.
[03:31] (Flashback) Haruto
    Not at all. Everything I see
    and touch is new to me.
[03:35] (Flashback) Haruto
    There's no time for me to get bored.
[03:40] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Wow, what's gotten into you?
    You never help out, Saki.
[03:44] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Well, I just felt like it today.
[03:46] (Flashback) Haruto
    So, you usually don't?
[03:48] (Flashback) Yuuki
    She's hardly up this early
    in the morning too.
[03:52] (Flashback) Haruto
    Hey, I've been wondering
    about it for a while...
[03:55] (Flashback) Haruto
    But your mother, could it
    be that her eyes don't...
[03:58] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Oh... Yeah.
[04:00] (Flashback) Yuuki
    But it's really not a problem around
    the house, so don't worry about it.
[04:05] (Flashback) Takeshi
    I heard your mama can't see.
[04:08] (Flashback) Kiyoshi
    Hey, don't get physical.
[04:10] (Flashback) Takeshi
    She thinks we're below her just because
    the adults act like she's special.
[04:16] (Flashback) Takeshi
    Bet your mama won't even realize if her
    husband got swapped with another guy!
[04:20] (Flashback) Koji
    Wow, sounds freaky.
[04:23] (Flashback) Takeshi
    Don'chu have anything to
    say to her too, Kiyoshi?
[04:25] (Flashback) Kiyoshi
    But...
[04:26] (Flashback) Koji
    You're so lame.
[04:28] (Flashback) Haruto
    Huh?
[04:28] Takeshi
    She's ignoring us.
[04:28] (Flashback) Haruto
    Hey, what are you brats up to?!
[04:31] (Flashback) Takeshi
    It's Yuuki's fiancé.
[04:33] (Flashback) Koji
    Let's go!
[04:39] (Flashback) Murasaki
    You don't have to worry about me.
    I'm used to being bullied.
[04:42] (Flashback) Haruto
    That's not something to be used to.
[04:44] (Flashback) Haruto
    Being quiet when someone precious
    to you gets humiliated is cowardly.
[04:48] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Cowardly...
[04:50] (Flashback) Haruto
    Courage is just like a sword.
[04:52] (Flashback) Haruto
    It's not something that's used
    to intimidate the opponent.
[04:55] (Flashback) Haruto
    What's important is
    when you draw that sword.
[04:58] (Flashback) Haruto
    If your timing is off,
    then you'll stay a coward your entire life.
[05:02] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Well, I can't seem to get the timing right.
[05:05] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I even talked to my parents
    about it, but still...
[05:07] (Flashback) Haruto
    Did you, really? That was brave of you.
[05:10] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Brave?
[05:11] (Flashback) Haruto
    It means that you gathered your
    courage and took a step forward.
[05:15] (Flashback) Haruto
    Talking about something with someone
    is a sign that you trust them.
[05:19] (Flashback) Haruto
    They'll pay full attention to your courage.
[05:23] (Flashback) Haruto
    I bet that's what parents do.
[05:25] (Flashback) Murasaki
    You think so?
[05:27] (Flashback) Haruto
    If it's something that can't be resolved,
    then put it off for a while.
[05:30] (Flashback) Haruto
    Improve your skills at your own pace,
    and become stronger than who you used to be.
[05:35] (Flashback) Haruto
    Then, one day, you'll become a great
    ninja before you even know it.
[05:39] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Really?
[05:40] (Flashback) Haruto
    Who knows. I'm just passing
    on what my master told me.
[05:44] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I wish you would've said it was true,
    even if it was a lie.
[05:48] (Flashback) Haruto
    I'm an honest man.
[05:51] (Flashback) Haruto
    I'm bad at lying to girls.
[05:54] (Flashback) Haruto
    Huh? Did you just laugh right now?
[05:56] (Flashback) Murasaki
    No, I didn't.
[06:13] (Flashback) Haruto
    There we go...
[06:16] (Flashback) Haruto
    That's all of them!
[06:20] (Flashback) Haruto
    I'm actually training, even though it looks like
    I'm just helping out with the farm work, right?
[06:25] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Huh?
[06:25] (Flashback) Haruto
    I'm training my muscles by adding uneven
    load to areas where it's hard to train, right?
[06:30] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Oh, uh-huh. Exactly!
[06:35] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    I don't know if you're
    innocent or just simple.
[06:37] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Sheesh, you're making me feel guilty.
    It feels like I'm tricking you.
[06:41] (Flashback) Haruto
    Then I'd say it's about time that
    you taught me the secret technique.
[06:43] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Sorry to disappoint, but I don't
    intend to teach any techniques.
[06:47] (Flashback) Haruto
    Why not?!
[06:48] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Years ago,
[06:51] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    a man came to this village seeking
    sword techniques, just like you.
[06:59] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    He became addicted to techniques,
[07:01] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    and turned into a man who took
    people's lives for pleasure.
[07:06] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Fortunately, he was expelled before
    learning the secret technique.
[07:11] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    But since that incident,
     we became vigilant as a clan.
[07:15] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Besides, none of us who are living
    here can use that technique anymore.
[07:19] (Flashback) Haruto
    Huh?
[07:20] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Yuuki can, but I've left her in
    the good hands of the Sengoku family.
[07:24] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    So, she won't be inheriting the
    family name when time comes.
[07:27] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    My wife also relinquished her title.
[07:31] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Saki is the only one who can
    officially inherit our name,
[07:35] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    but she is too young and inexperienced.
[07:37] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Do you have a family?
[07:39] (Flashback) Haruto
    I don't know who my parents are.
[07:44] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Is that so?
[07:47] (Flashback) Haruto
    I knew that I was asking for something that
    he wouldn't teach me so easily. But still...
[07:52] (Flashback) Murasaki
    My father's right, though.
[07:54] (Flashback) Murasaki
    It'd be dangerous if you learned it
    without knowing the consequences.
[07:57] (Flashback) Haruto
    What kind of move is it?
[07:59] (Flashback) Haruto
    Oh, sorry. I wasn't supposed to ask you.
[08:05] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Um... So...
SIGN    Murasame
SIGN    Hachibee
SIGN    Changwen
[08:07] (Flashback) Murasaki
    If it can't be taught to outsiders,
    then you should become one of us.
[08:12] (Flashback) Haruto
    Hmm...
[08:14] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Is there already someone
    precious to you in your life?
[08:17] (Flashback) Haruto
    Yes, there is.
[08:18] (Flashback) Haruto
    But I think our love for
    each other isn't like that.
[08:22] (Flashback) Haruto
    How should I put this?
    I think I idolize him.
[08:29] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Listen...
[08:30] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I'm a ninja, so I can't do
    anything without a master.
[08:35] (Flashback) Murasaki
    If I must work under someone in the future,
[08:39] (Flashback) Murasaki
    then I want my master to be
    someone like you, Haruto.
[08:47] (Flashback) Murasaki
    A ninja only works for those
    they care about most.
SIGN    Life
SIGN    Spirit
SIGN    Spirit
[08:51] (Flashback) Murasaki
    And live for those that are
    most precious to them.
SIGN    Finish
[08:54] (Flashback) Murasaki
    The sword that I drew with
    all the courage that I had
SIGN    9
SIGN    8
[08:58] (Flashback) Murasaki
    was dodged just like that.

SIGN    Yuko
[09:01] (Flashback) Kanoko
    Very well. Now, listen carefully.
[09:04] (Flashback) Kanoko
    You must choose someone who you'd gladly
    go to hell with as your master.
[09:11] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Please teach me how I can become a
    ninja who will be needed by my master!
[09:15] (Flashback) Kanoko
    It's easy to make a man need you.
[09:19] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Teach me!
[09:20] (Flashback) Kanoko
    Oh dear, your sister is the one who
    brought Haruto-san here, though.
[09:25] (Flashback) Kanoko
    Well, whatever.
[09:27] (Flashback) Kanoko
    You're still quite young for this, but it
    may come in handy for you in the future.
[09:31] (Flashback) Murasaki
    In detail, please!
[09:33] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    What?! You want Haruto-kun
    to be your master?
[09:37] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Absolutely not! Are you out of your mind?
[09:40] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    You're someone that this village needs!
[09:42] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    True, he's good looking, like me.
[09:45] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    And for a second, I thought he was a good boy.
[09:47] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    But you gotta understand that a no is a no!
[09:52] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Wha...
[09:59] (Flashback) Yuuki
    You're always like that, aren't you, Saki?
[10:02] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Asking for something that
    already belongs to me.
[10:05] (Flashback) Yuuki
    And I'm always told, "You're older than
    her, so give it to your little sister."
[10:09] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I'm sorry.
[10:11] (Flashback) Yuuki
    There you go again, apologizing
    and going quiet.
[10:15] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Is that because of me?
[10:17] (Flashback) Yuuki
    There was a time when I couldn't take
    it anymore and went crazy, yelling:
[10:21] (Flashback) Yuuki
    "I didn't ask to be the
    big sister!" Right?
[10:25] (Flashback) Yuuki
    I think that's when you started to go quiet.
[10:30] (Flashback) Yuuki
    After I yelled...
[10:34] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Mom came to me to cheer me up.
[10:37] (Flashback) Yuuki
    She said, "Sorry we always make you give
    up on what you want for your sister."
[10:41] (Flashback) Yuuki
    That's when I thought, "Oh, I want
    to be someone like our mom!"
[10:46] (Flashback) Yuuki
    "And let's accept the fact
    that I am the older sister."
[10:49] (Flashback) Yuuki
    So you don't have to put
    a lid on your feelings.
[10:52] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Oneechan...
[10:54] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Oh! I haven't heard you call
    me that in a long time!
[10:58] (Flashback) Murasaki
    The words that Haruto said to me.
    I think I understand what he meant.
[11:02] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Putting a lid on your feelings isn't enough.
[11:05] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Sometimes, courage is what it
    takes to understand each other.
[11:09] Murasaki
    I'm glad that she's my oneechan.
[11:13] Murasaki
    That is what I truly thought.
[11:17] (Flashback) Villager A
    That boy named Haruto... he's related
    to the Sengoku family, isn't he?
[11:21] (Flashback) Villager A
    We go way back with the Sengoku family,
     ever since the Bakumatsu period,
[11:24] (Flashback) Villager A
    so we can't treat him poorly.
[11:26] (Flashback) Villager B
    He isn't directly related to them.
[11:28] (Flashback) Villager C
    But our village still exists thanks
    to the backing of the Sengoku family.
[11:34] (Flashback) Villager D
    We give enough in return, don't we?!
[11:37] (Flashback) Villager D
    Think about how many ninjas we've
    sent them from our village!
[11:41] (Flashback) Villager C
    What is your thought on this, chief?
[11:43] (Flashback) Chief
    We've lectured outsiders on
    our techniques in the past.
[11:48] (Flashback) Chief
    However, those were done
    under special circumstances.
[11:51] (Flashback) Chief
    About the man who came to
    our village in the past...
[11:54] (Flashback) Chief
    I'm sure you all still...
[12:01] (Flashback) Chief
    Y-You!
[12:08] (Flashback) Takeshi
    How did this happen?
[12:10] (Flashback) Koji
    This is bad. There's fire burning here too.
[12:18] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Smoke.
[12:20] (Flashback) Murasaki
    The village is...
[12:21] (Flashback) Murasaki
    in flames!
[12:24] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Grandfather!
[12:25] (Flashback) Murasaki
    What happened?!
[12:27] (Flashback) Chief
    Allowing that man to learn our
    secret technique was a mistake.
[12:35] (Flashback) Murasaki
    No... Did Haruto...
[12:38] (Flashback) Chief
    He went to the mountain... with Sadatoki.
[12:42] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Father! Mother!
[12:48] (Flashback) Murasaki
    No.
[12:50] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Why...
[12:52] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Not only did he take my mother's
    precious sword with him...
[12:55] (Flashback) Murasaki
    But why must he go this far just because
    he couldn't learn that technique?!
[13:00] (Flashback) Murasaki
    They were only pretending to be nice
[13:02] (Flashback) Murasaki
    while they were actually
    mocking me behind my back.
[13:05] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Big Sis... Haruto...
[13:08] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Are Haruto and Big Sis really the
    ones that did this? I don't know.
[13:13] (Flashback) Murasaki
    It feels like I'm about to go crazy.
[13:16] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I don't know what to believe.
[13:20] (Flashback) Murasaki
    But there is one thing that I do know.
[13:25] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Now is the time that I draw my sword,
    or I'll stay a coward my entire life.
[13:42] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I am a sword. A nameless sword.
[13:44] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I will only get a name
    under an honorable master.
[13:47] (Flashback) Murasaki
    My body shall now become a lethal weapon,
[13:51] (Flashback) Murasaki
    filling my heart with total madness.
[13:54] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I come from the Ikoma family.
[13:56] (Flashback) Murasaki
    And my name is "Murasaki."
[13:58] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Magical Blade: Murasaki.
[14:00] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Thus, there is nothing that I cannot slay.
[14:05] (Flashback) Haruto
    Where did Saki go?!
[14:07] (Flashback) Yuuki
    She likes the height, and she always goes
    to the shrine that's up on the mountain.
[14:11] (Flashback) Yuuki
    So, I'm sure she's there again.
[14:12] (Flashback) Haruto
    Who could've done such an awful thing?
[14:15] (Flashback) Sadatoki
    Take care of Saki for us.
[14:18] (Flashback) Kanoko
    My sword is behind the scroll...
[14:31] (Flashback) Haruto
    Someone's there!
[14:32] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Where?!
[14:34] (Flashback) Momotaro
    Good evening.
[14:37] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Momotaro!
[14:38] (Flashback) Momotaro
    Why hello, Miss Yuuki.
[14:42] (Flashback) Yuuki
    You're the mastermind, aren't you?
    Why are you doing this?!
[14:45] (Flashback) Momotaro
    Hmph!
[14:46] (Flashback) Momotaro
    Killing the villagers would spontaneously
    bring precious things to this mountain.
[14:52] (Flashback) Momotaro
    Because that's the rule of this village.
    Isn't that right?
[14:56] (Flashback) Momotaro
    Hmm?
[14:57] (Flashback) Momotaro
    That's "Yuko," isn't it?
[15:00] (Flashback) Momotaro
    You're not an Ikoma, are you?
[15:03] (Flashback) Momotaro
    I see. So, it was never kept in
    that house in the first place.
[15:08] (Flashback) Momotaro
    But it looks like today is my lucky day.
[15:10] (Flashback) Momotaro
    Because I can finally have that
    technique and sword all to myself!
[15:15] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Watch out, Haruto!
[15:19] (Flashback) Momotaro
    She shot at me even when
    her friend was nearby!
[15:25] (Flashback) Momotaro
    Too slow!
[15:26] (Flashback) Momotaro
    You spoiled woman!
[15:32] (Flashback) Haruto
    Oh!
[15:33] (Flashback) Haruto
    My bad. I was gonna let you end him,
    but he got on my nerves, so...
[15:38] (Flashback) Yuuki
    I won't blame you.
[15:40] (Flashback) Haruto
    I guess you can call this a standstill too.
[15:44] (Flashback) Haruto
    What now?
[15:46] (Flashback) Yuuki
    We have to find our little guppy, Saki.
[15:48] (Flashback) Haruto
    Is that a pun?
[15:55] (Flashback) Murasaki
    You even hired these men.
    How dare you kill my people!
[16:01] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I'll never forgive the two of you!
[16:05] (Flashback) Murasaki
    You broke the seal?!
[16:06] (Flashback) Haruto
    The "seal"?
[16:07] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Look out!
[16:08] (Flashback) Haruto
    Wha?!
[16:15] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Don't just sit there. Get out of here!
[16:18] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Run!
[16:21] (Flashback) Yuuki
    That's the rumor that goes
    around in this village.
[16:24] (Flashback) Yuuki
    A forbidden technique that turns
    you into a fearless, undoubtedly
[16:28] (Flashback) Yuuki
    highly-efficient killing machine...
[16:30] (Flashback) Yuuki
    "Phantom Blade."
[16:31] (Flashback) Yuuki
    The only way to win against
    it is by running from it.
[16:35] (Flashback) Haruto
    That's it?!
[16:36] (Flashback) Yuuki
    When she reaches her limit, she might end
    up dying from the brain damage.
[16:41] (Flashback) Haruto
    Oh, could it be that your mother
    is also blind because...
[16:43] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Yes.
[16:44] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Saki doesn't have a master yet,
[16:46] (Flashback) Yuuki
    so perhaps my mother's death broke her
    seal and made her lose control.
[16:49] (Flashback) Haruto
    What kind of technique is it?
[16:50] (Flashback) Haruto
    She even cut down a tree
    with an ordinary sword!
[16:53] (Flashback) Yuuki
    She didn't cut down a tree,
    and she doesn't have a sword with her!
[16:56] (Flashback) Haruto
    What do you mean?
[16:58] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Saki's "Magical Blade" is made from
    extreme self-empowerment and illusion.
[17:02] (Flashback) Haruto
    So, hypnosis?
[17:04] (Flashback) Yuuki
    She creates an invisible sword
    through her strong belief
[17:07] (Flashback) Yuuki
    which resonates with the surrounding area
    and synchronizes that feeling with others.
[17:11] (Flashback) Yuuki
    So, if Saki believes she slayed us...
[17:13] (Flashback) Haruto
    We'll also think the same.
[17:15] (Flashback) Yuuki
    In other words, there's nothing
    she can't slay right now.
[17:19] (Flashback) Haruto
    Isn't there something we can do to save her?
[17:22] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Listen...
[17:23] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Will you please order me
    to kill my little sister?
[17:27] (Flashback) Yuuki
    I don't know if I'll stand a chance,
    but if I also break my seal, then maybe...
[17:31] (Flashback) Haruto
    But what if you die?!
[17:34] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Do you remember the incident
    where Taiga-sama was kidnapped?
[17:37] (Flashback) Haruto
    S-Sure.
[17:38] (Flashback) Yuuki
    It's the same as that time.
    Even if it's a temporary contract,
[17:41] (Flashback) Yuuki
    I'll regain my sanity
    if I'm ordered to come back.
[17:45] (Flashback) Yuuki
    As long as they're the words of
    someone who I care deeply about.
[17:49] (Flashback) Yuuki
    So, please.
[17:50] (Flashback) Yuuki
    A little push is all I need for this yucky
    feeling to go away, so I can fight my sister.
[17:53] (Flashback) Haruto
    Yuuki's yucky feelings... Another pun?
[17:57] (Flashback) Yuuki
    That's right. I like playing with words.
[18:04] (Flashback) Yuuki
    I come from the Ikoma family.
[18:06] (Flashback) Yuuki
    And my name is "Yuuki."
[18:08] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Hell Blade: "Yuuki."
[18:10] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Thus, there is nothing that I cannot slay.
[18:22] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Give it back! That sword
    belongs to my mother!
[18:25] (Flashback) Yuuki
    I knew it. So that's what you believe.
[18:29] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I said give it back!
[18:32] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Give it back!
[18:38] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Why isn't it...?!
[18:40] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Shoot!
[18:55] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Give me that sword!
[18:57] (Flashback) Haruto
    Misunderstanding your sister
    makes you an imperfect blade.
[19:01] (Flashback) Haruto
    Do you really think who you are right now
    deserves to have your mother's precious sword?
[19:05] (Flashback) Murasaki
    I'll kill you if you won't give it to me!
[19:07] (Flashback) Haruto
    Come and get it, then.
[19:20] (Flashback) Murasaki
    Give me the sword already.
[19:23] (Flashback) Haruto
    It's no use.
[19:25] (Flashback) Haruto
    Good grief. A real object can't
    do any harm to an illusion, huh?
[19:30] (Flashback) Haruto
    Sorry for what I said.
    It looks like I can't beat you.
[19:33] (Flashback) Haruto
    You can have your sword back.
[19:40] (Flashback) Haruto
    Did you know that grownups trick
    their opponents just like this?
[20:01] (Flashback) Haruto
    I have to thank my master
    for teaching me well.
[20:04] (Flashback) Haruto
    Using an illusion to combat
    an illusion was an obvious idea.
[20:09] (Flashback) Haruto
    But it worked.
[20:12] Haruto
    That is how Yuuki was left with
    the after-effects of memory loss.
[20:16] Haruto
    And Saki was left with her
    relatives that live in Russia.
[20:20] Yuuki
    That's when she inherited
    the name of our village
[20:22] Yuuki
    and changed her name to "Murasaki."
[20:27] Murasaki
    See? It wasn't very entertaining, was it?
[20:31] Murasaki
    I don't get along with my sister.
[20:34] Murasaki
    That's all there is to it.
[20:36] Shiori
    But I bet you want her to see how
    much you've grown, don't you?
[20:42] Shiori
    That's why you're here with us right now.
[20:44] Murasaki
    I don't know.
[20:46] (Flashback) Haruto
    The reason why I said I
    care about myself the most
[20:49] (Flashback) Haruto
    is because a precious person
    of mine cares about me.
[20:54] (Flashback) Haruto
    If you want to become useful to someone,
[20:56] (Flashback) Haruto
    then you gotta love yourself
    before anything else.
[20:59] (Flashback) Haruto
    There's no need to push yourself.
    Just put your heart into what you can.
[21:04] (Flashback) Haruto
    When you've become a ninja that
    understands what this means,
[21:08] (Flashback) Haruto
    then I'll be your master.
[21:13] Murasaki
    I'm here because I thought I'd
    perform better at my job.
[21:17] Shiori
    If you say so.
[21:20] Murasaki
    Thanks.
[21:26] Haruto
    What brought you back to Mihama?
[21:28] Yuuki
    Now you're asking that? I guess it was
    a bad idea to come back here, then.
[21:32] Haruto
    That's not what I meant.
[21:33] Haruto
    You're the one who sent Murasaki
    here on behalf of yourself.
[21:38] Yuuki
    Don't worry, I'll be gone just like
    that again before you know it.
[21:42] Haruto
    What's that supposed to mean?
[21:44] Yuuki
    Believe it or not, I have someone who's
    waiting for my return, you know.
[21:47] Haruto
    Huh, a boyfriend?
[21:49] Yuuki
    Does it make you curious?
[21:50] Haruto
    Not really. Because I know
    it's one of your lies again.
[21:54] Yuuki
    If I said, "I came because
    I wanted to be with you,"
[21:58] Yuuki
    then what would you do?
[22:11] Yuuki
    Nobody was supposed to know
    what time my flight was!
[22:14] Haruto
    Were you being considerate of Murasaki?
[22:16] Yuuki
    Give me a break, that's not why.
[22:19] Haruto
    You staying at the academy is not good
    for her. That's why you're leaving.
[22:23] Yuuki
    You're giving me too much credit.
[22:25] Yuuki
    I just got an urgent mission, that's all.
[22:28] Haruto
    No, I know that that's another lie.
[22:30] Haruto
    You only tell the truth to your master.
[22:33] Haruto
    The reason why you only speak lies
    is because you've promised yourself
[22:37] Haruto
    that you'll never work under anyone and
    devote your life to your sister instead.
[22:41] Yuuki
    Okay. Let's go with that story, then.
[22:43] Yuuki
    What do you say? I'm a good
    big sister, aren't I?
[22:46] Haruto
    That's not what Murasaki wants, though.
[22:49] Yuuki
    Whatever. I'd better get going.
[22:53] Yuuki
    Bye. We'll see each other again
    if we're both still alive.
[22:57] Haruto
    Come home whenever you feel
    like it. We'll be waiting for you.
[23:02] PA
    This is the final boarding call for Gate 88.
    We will be closing Gate 88 shortly.
[23:09] Haruto
    You should've said "bye" to her.
[23:12] Murasaki
    It's fine. Words aren't
    necessary between us.
[23:22] Murasaki
    Even if the world shall end today,
[23:26] Murasaki
    nothing will change between us,
    and we won't have any regrets.
[23:30] Murasaki
    I think we at least understand
    each other to that degree.
[23:33] Murasaki
    And tomorrow will be another day
[23:35] Murasaki
    where we'll be stubborn and
    head in the opposite direction.
[23:40] Chris
    I'm Chris.
[23:41] Murasaki
    I'm Murasaki.
[23:42] Murasaki
    "I will not give my daughter away to a guy
[23:44] Murasaki
    I know nothing about who
    appeared from out of nowhere!"
[23:47] Murasaki
    never really made sense to me.
[23:49] Chris
    It's said because, "Strangers cannot
    be trusted and are useless,"
[23:53] Chris
    but that's not very convincing either.
[23:55] Murasaki
    I'm sure we have other things that
    are more useless in this world.
[23:59] Chris
    Like dreams?
[23:59] Murasaki
    Don't say that.
[24:01] Chris
    But when you think about it,
    nothing in this world is entirely useless.
[24:06] Murasaki
    So, you're saying that
    everything has a purpose?
[24:10] Chris
    Of course!
[24:11] Chris
    Let's see. We can use that stranger
    to do a surprise attack from behind!
[24:17] Murasaki
    It doesn't necessarily have
    to be a stranger, though.
[24:19] Chris
    Okay. You're standing in line all night
    on a popular game's release day.
[24:22] Murasaki
    Mmhmm.
[24:23] Chris
    You need to use the restroom,
    but you can't leave the line.
[24:25] Murasaki
    Oh!
[24:26] Chris
    That's when you'll smash the
    stranger down onto the ground!
[24:29] Murasaki
    That also doesn't have to be a stranger,
[24:31] Murasaki
    and people rarely stand in lines now
    because of online preorders.
[24:34] Chris
    Then when you preorder the
    game with your smartphone...
[24:37] Murasaki
    Mmhmm.
[24:38] Chris
    You crush the screen using that stranger!
[24:40] Murasaki
    Oh!
[24:41] Chris
    Next week, TV animation Grisaia:
    Phantom Trigger
episode six.
SIGN    Bluest Blue
[24:45] Murasaki
    Bluest Blue I.
[24:48] Murasaki
    Oh, I think I got it.
[24:49] Chris
    Got what?
[24:50] Murasaki
    That a stranger is useless after all.
[24:53] Chris
    Indeed.
