[00:15] Taikobo
    Chi!
[00:24] Taikobo
    Bunchu! Both you and the Yin have grown old!
[00:28] Taikobo
    What the human world needs
    now is a young wind!
[00:31] Taikobo
    You need to disappear!
[00:32] Bunchu
    And I'm telling you that you're dreaming!
[00:35] Bunchu
    I will not hand the human world over
    to one of such childish, shallow thinking!
[00:55] Taikobo
    I'm running low on strength...
[00:59] Taikobo
    But the same goes for him!
[01:02] Taikobo
    No matter what it takes,
    no matter what I must do...
[01:07] Taikobo
    I must overcome!
[01:09] Taikobo
    Here I come, Bunchu!
[01:12] Bunchu
    Come, Taikobo!

[03:00] Taikobo
    Master Genshitenson, your number
    one pupil, Taikobo, has arrived.
[03:06] Genshi
    Good. Have you progressed in your training?
[03:09] Taikobo
    Y-Yes, of course.
[03:12] Genshi
    Don't lie to me!
SIGN    Northern Praying Mantis
[03:16] Genshi
    You always pretend to meditate,
    but you're actually just sleeping.
[03:20] Genshi
    You cannot fool these eyes of mine.
SIGN    Long Head
[03:23] Genshi
    You're blessed with the bones of a Sennin,
SIGN    Sturdy Bones
[03:25] Genshi
    yet instead of training, you
    spend your time lazing about!
SIGN    Less Marrow Than Most
[03:29] Taikobo
    With all due respect, should we really
    just continue to do as we always have?
[03:33] Taikobo
    Dakki and her underlings are having
    their way with the human world.
[03:38] Taikobo
    Should we really just hang around up
    here and train while that's happening?
[03:43] Taikobo
    When I think about that...
[03:45] Taikobo
    I just fall asleep.
[03:47] Genshi
    No sleeping!
[03:49] Genshi
    It would seem you are not suited
    for the standard training.
[03:56] Taikobo
    What's that?
[03:57] Genshi
    The Hoshin List.
[04:00] Genshi
    It is not my intention to let Dakki
    and her underlings do as they please.
[04:05] Genshi
    Some years ago, we discussed how
    we could solve this problem.
[04:10] Genshi
    We will drive them out of
    the human world, of course,
[04:13] Genshi
    but we must not allow them to
    return to the Sennin world.
[04:17] Genshi
    And so...
[04:17] Genshi
    We created a new world, the world of gods,
     between the Sennin and human worlds,
SIGN    Sennin World
SIGN    Konron Mountain
SIGN    Kingo Island
SIGN    World of Gods
SIGN    Human World
[04:22] Genshi
    and decided to seal them all away there.
[04:26] Genshi
    That list contains the names
    of those who must be sealed.
[04:30] Genshi
    You are to defeat the 365
    individuals on that list!
[04:35] Taikobo
    Huh?!
[04:37] Taikobo
    B-But Sennin and Doshi are forbidden to kill!
[04:40] Hakutsuru
    You won't be killing, Taikobo.
[04:46] Hakutsuru
    Look at that.
[04:49] Hakutsuru
    It's called the Hoshindai.
[04:52] Hakutsuru
    When evil Sennin are defeated
    in the human world,
[04:55] Hakutsuru
    their souls are sent there
    and trapped inside.
SIGN    Seal
[05:02] Taikobo
    Wh-When did that thing show up?
[05:05] Genshi
    If simply defeating Dakki were enough,
[05:08] Genshi
    we would mount all of our forces against her.
[05:10] Genshi
    But if they lost such a powerful ruler,
[05:12] Genshi
    the denizens of the human world
    would rebel against the Yin,
[05:16] Genshi
    throwing the world into chaos.
[05:17] Genshi
    We must avoid that at any cost.
[05:21] Taikobo
    So we need some follow-up care
    after Dakki is defeated?
[05:25] Genshi
    Exactly. To prevent widespread chaos,
[05:28] Genshi
    we'll have to establish a new
    king in the human world.
[05:32] Genshi
    The best candidate for that is
    probably Kisho, the Seihakuko.
[05:36] Genshi
    But for Kisho to become king,
    he will have to defeat Dakki.
[05:40] Genshi
    So you are to use your knowledge
    to move forward with the Hoshin Project,
[05:44] Genshi
    and help Kisho do exactly that.
[05:46] Genshi
    And if you don't...
[05:47] Genshi
    you will be expelled!
[05:51] Taikobo
    E-Expelled?!
[05:55] Hakutsuru
    Do you think Taikobo will do it?
[05:57] Genshi
    I'm certain he will.
[06:00] ---
    Oh?
[06:01] Genshi
    He has his own reasons.
[06:04] Voice
    It was a manhunt.
[06:06] Voice
    They said they needed villagers
    to bury with the slain emperor.
[06:11] Voice
    But why hundreds of them?
    Isn't it usually just five or six?
[06:14] Voice
    That was the empress's selfishness.
[06:17] Taikobo
    The Yin empress...
[06:22] (Flashback) Genshi
    The empress of the Yin was once a Sennyo
    who lived in the Sennin world.
[06:26] (Flashback) Genshi
    She possesses an ageless, immortal
    body and the beauty of a courtesan.
[06:29] (Flashback) Taikobo
    A Sennyo?
[06:30] (Flashback) Genshi
    She has lived in the palace ever since she
    descended to the human world centuries ago.
[06:35] (Flashback) Genshi
    She has changed her name and appearance
    to deceive generations of emperors
[06:40] (Flashback) Genshi
    and live a life of perpetual extravagance.
[06:43] (Flashback) Dakki
    I like to make a grand
    show of everything I do!
[06:45] (Flashback) Dakki
    Let's send a few hundred more people
    with you to the next life than usual!
[06:49] (Flashback) Dakki
    If we use citizens from a different land,
[06:51] (Flashback) Dakki
    the people of Yin won't rebel, right?
[06:56] (Flashback) Guy
    Right...
[06:58] (Flashback) Genshi
    It seems Dakki has recently
    acquired a dangerous new spell.
[07:01] (Flashback) Genshi
    Such wicked power attained through mere
    beauty cannot be allowed to continue.
[07:07] (Flashback) Genshi
    My name is Genshi, and I have come for you.
[07:11] (Flashback) Genshi
    You are to become a Sennin.
[07:13] (Flashback) Taikobo
    A Sennin?
[07:15] (Flashback) Taikobo
    My mother, father, elder brother,
    and younger sister are all dead!
[07:20] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Can I defeat the one who did this
     if I become a Sennin?!
[07:27] Taikobo
    Master Genshitenson, I will
    undertake the Hoshin Project.
[07:31] Genshi
    I see. Then I shall give you this.
[07:34] Genshi
    A paopei that controls the air, Dashinben.
[07:37] Taikobo
    A p-paopei!
[07:40] Taikobo
    A specialized weapon for
    amplifying a Sennin's power!
[07:43] Genshi
    And one more thing...
[07:51] Hakutsuru
    Your spirit beast, Supushan.
[07:53] Hakutsuru
    Use him as your ride.
[07:56] Supushan
    Are you Taikobo?
[07:57] Supushan
    I'm Supushan. Nice to meet you.
[08:01] Taikobo
    Good boy!
[08:11] Dakki
    The Hoshin Project? How comical.
[08:15] Dakki
    I control more than
    three hundred Sennin and Doshi,
[08:19] Dakki
    and some no-name Doshi expects to defeat me?
[08:21] Shinkohyo
    That is indeed the case.
[08:24] Shinkohyo
    After all, your strength
    is second only to mine.
[08:27] Shinkohyo
    So, what will you do?
[08:29] Dakki
    Thanks to my Temptation, I've
    attained the highest rank there is.
[08:35] Dakki
    I don't think I need to be
    concerned about a single Doshi.
[08:38] Shinkohyo
    While that is indeed true,
[08:41] Shinkohyo
    I would still like to go
    and see how strong he is.
[08:45] Guy
    Lady Dakki told you to ignore him!
[08:48] Guy
    You would dare defy her?!
[08:49] Shinkohyo
    I am here as a guest.
[08:52] Shinkohyo
    I can't have you misunderstanding that.
[08:55] Dakki
    That's right!
[08:56] Shinkohyo
    Now then, I'll go and take a
    shot at Taikobo right away.
[09:01] Shinkohyo
    My Raikoben here must be bored, after all.
[09:05] Taikobo
    How long until we reach the capital, Choka?
[09:08] Supushan
    Quite a while yet.
    It's a large country, after all.
[09:13] Taikobo
    Look, Supushan. It's a shepherd.
[09:19] Shepherd
    Wow, a Sennin! Hey!
[09:19] Taikobo
    A nomad in the west...
    He must be of the Kyo people.
[09:24] Taikobo
    He's dressed in rags...
[09:29] Supushan
    By the way, Master, have you
    taken a look at the Hoshin List?
[09:33] Taikobo
    Oh, right.
[09:36] Taikobo
    I'll read it before we reach Choka.
[09:38] Supushan
    Roger!
SIGN    The Hoshin List Shinkohyo Bunchu Dakki
[09:40] Taikobo
    The first one is... Shinkohyo.
[09:41] Supushan
    Sh-Shinkohyo?!
[09:44] Supushan
    He's said to be stronger than
    the Three Great Sennin!
[09:47] Supushan
    He's the strongest Doshi!
     He rides the strongest spirit beast,
[09:51] Supushan
    and he has the strongest paopei, Raikoben!
[09:54] Taikobo
    Wh-What? I can't fight someone like that!
[09:56] Supushan
    Exactly! Let sleeping dogs lie, as they say!
[09:59] Taikobo
    Does this go from strongest to weakest?
[10:03] Taikobo
    Who's at the end of the list, then?
[10:07] Shinkohyo
    A pleasure to meet you. I am Shinkohyo.
[10:11] Shinkohyo
    I live in the palace as a guest of Dakki.
[10:14] Taikobo
    Shinkohyo?
[10:15] Supushan
    Master Shinkohyo!
[10:16] Supushan
    Wh-Why would a man of your
    standing take Dakki's side?!
[10:22] Shinkohyo
    Now, now, Kokutenko.
[10:24] Shinkohyo
    It's not nice to glare.
[10:27] Shinkohyo
    I am not on anyone's side.
[10:30] Shinkohyo
    I only stay at the palace because there is
    nowhere else suited to my lifestyle.
[10:35] Taikobo
    Oh! So you're not an enemy then!
[10:37] Taikobo
    So long!
[10:38] Shinkohyo
    Hey! Wait!
[10:39] Shinkohyo
    I'm on that list of yours, am I not?!
[10:42] Shinkohyo
    So don't you have to defeat me?!
[10:43] Tai/Su/Koku
    He can't stand being ignored...
[10:46] Taikobo
    Shinkohyo, let me tell you one thing.
[10:48] Shinkohyo
    Wh-What is that?
[10:49] Taikobo
    Your outfit is so tasteless.
    Worst fashion sense ever.
[10:54] Shinkohyo
    Taikobo, you'll pay dearly for that.
[10:57] Shinkohyo
    Being called tasteless...
[11:00] Shinkohyo
    is the one thing I hate most!
[11:05] Supushan
    I never should have teamed
    up with this idiotic Doshi!
[11:11] Shinkohyo
    Raikoben!
[11:23] Supushan
    I-I'm going to dodge it!
[11:25] Taikobo
    Close your eyes, Supushan!
[11:35] Dakki
    That's Raikoben!
[11:36] Guy
    Is it Shinkohyo, then?
[11:38] Dakki
    That's right.
[11:39] Dakki
    You don't want him on your bad side,
[11:41] Dakki
    but he makes a very useful ally.
[11:43] Dakki
    Even the Sennin world won't
    try to attack me carelessly.
[11:46] Shinkohyo
    Believe it or not, I was holding back.
[11:55] Shinkohyo
    By the way, Kokutenko,
    what happened to Taikobo?
[11:59] Shinkohyo
    Use your clairvoyance to find out.
[12:02] Kokutenko
    It looks like he went down
    with significant injuries.
[12:04] Kokutenko
    It appears he avoided death by using a
     paopei to distort the lightning, though.
[12:09] Shinkohyo
    So he's alive? Good!
[12:13] Shinkohyo
    In five thousand years, this is the
    first time I've seen my own blood.
[12:18] Shinkohyo
    I've decided to acknowledge him as my rival.
[12:22] Shinkohyo
    He knew there was a Kyo village behind him.
[12:26] Shinkohyo
    He protected it and still
    managed to strike back at me.
[12:30] Shinkohyo
    It would be a waste to kill him.
[12:34] Supushan
    W-We're alive!
[12:39] Taikobo
    I was naïve.
[12:41] Taikobo
    I need to be more focused from now on.
[12:44] Taikobo
    What's that?
[12:45] Supushan
    It's the Yin Dynasty's tomb.
[12:49] Taikobo
    Mother, Father, everyone from my clan...
[12:53] Taikobo
    Rest in peace.
[12:56] Taikobo
    Many people are suffering at the
    hands of foolish Sennin and Doshi.
[13:01] Taikobo
    I'm going to create a safer human
    world, free of people like them.
[13:07] Taikobo
    Let's go, Supu.
[13:09] Supushan
    Roger!
[13:22] Boy
    Oops, 'scuse me.
[13:25] Taikobo
    Slaves eat the same food as dogs
[13:28] Taikobo
    for working as hard as ants...
[13:30] Taikobo
    until they die of exhaustion.
[13:34] Taikobo
    This is the enemy's base, Kinjo.
[13:37] Supushan
    Master, maybe we should reconsider
    going straight for Dakki...
[13:43] Taikobo
    Listen well. Many of the people on this list
    were forced into serving Dakki by her magic.
[13:49] Taikobo
    So if we defeat Dakki,
    we can take out her underlings too.
[13:54] Supushan
    You are very cunning, Master, so I'm sure
    you have some kind of plan... right?
[13:59] Taikobo
    Yup! First we kidnap the Yin king, Chu!
[14:02] ---
    What?!
[14:06] Hiko
    You're a Sennin, aren't you?
[14:08] Taikobo
    Wh-Who are you?!
[14:11] Hiko
    I'm Koh Hiko, the Chinkoku Buseioh!
[14:15] Hiko
    You don't know who I am?
[14:18] Hiko
    Are you going to see the empress?
[14:20] Taikobo
    That's right.
[14:21] Hiko
    For what purpose?
[14:23] Taikobo
    To defeat her.
[14:25] Supushan
    You can't just tell him that!
[14:32] Hiko
    Sorry, man! I'm just so used to guys showing
    up wanting to become her henchmen!
[14:37] Hiko
    If you were one of them...
[14:39] Hiko
    I would have killed you.
[14:41] Taikobo
    So you're not under the control
    of Dakki's Temptation, then?
[14:45] Hiko
    Damn right.
[14:47] Hiko
    I repelled that crazy sorcery by sheer will.
[14:50] Hiko
    So she really is a Sennyo?
[14:53] Taikobo
    She is.
[14:54] Hiko
    What's your name?
[14:56] Taikobo
    I'm Taikobo, a Doshi of Konron Mountain.
[15:00] Hiko
    I'd like to offer you my assistance,
[15:03] Hiko
    but if we don't do our job,
    the nation will fall.
[15:06] Hiko
    Taikobo, King Chu was once an amazing man.
[15:11] Hiko
    We of the Koh clan have sworn loyalty
    to the Yin Dynasty for generations.
[15:15] Hiko
    I can't stand watching someone ruining it.
[15:19] Hiko
    Well, if you get into trouble,
    just run and find me.
[15:23] Hiko
    I'll help you out.
[15:24] Hiko
    Oh, I know. I'll set it up so
    you can see the empress soon.
[15:29] Taikobo
    I appreciate it, Buseioh!
[15:32] Hiko
    Later, then.
[15:33] Supushan
    Can we really trust him?
[15:36] Taikobo
    I think we can.
    He's a man of great character.
[15:50] Taikobo
    What is it, Supushan?
[15:52] Supushan
    She's even more beautiful
    than the rumors say!
[15:54] Supushan
    I'd wake up from a 100,000
    year sleep to see this!
[15:57] Taikobo
    Really?
[15:58] Chu
    The Buseioh informed me that
    you wish to work for me?
[16:02] Taikobo
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[16:03] Chu
    Dakki, what do you think?
[16:05] Dakki
    I think that sounds great!
[16:07] Dakki
    So, Taikobo, what kind of
    work would you like to do?
[16:11] Taikobo
    I would like to be a court musician.
[16:14] Chu
    A court musician?
[16:16] Taikobo
    As such, King Chu, I plan to
    hold a grand party tomorrow
[16:19] Taikobo
    in the western capital of Shugen,
    and invite three hundred beautiful ladies.
[16:25] Chu
    What?! I'm there!
[16:27] Chu
    But it takes a few days to
    travel from here to Shugen...
[16:30] Taikobo
    Worry not! With my Supushan
    here, it is but a quick leap!
[16:34] Chu
    I see! That beast of yours can fly!
[16:37] Taikobo
    Come, climb up behind me.
[16:39] Taikobo
    Just think of me as your chauffeur.
[16:42] Dakki
    My, that sounds like fun!
[16:45] Dakki
    Oh? You look awfully pale. D-Don't tell me...
[16:50] Dakki
    You're lying and plotting to kidnap King Chu?!
[16:55] Chu
    What?!
[16:56] Chu
    Get him!
[16:58] Taikobo
    Supu!
[17:01] Taikobo
    No... Dakki's spell?!
[17:04] Dakki
    What a good boy.
[17:08] Taikobo
    Supu?
[17:10] Supushan
    I am very sorry.
[17:14] Taikobo
    Supu...
[17:19] Guy
    Look there.
[17:30] Dakki
    This is my Taibon!
[17:32] Taikobo
    Supushan...
[17:37] Dakki
    We'll start by executing these 160 people.
[17:41] Hiko
    Empress, who are these people?
[17:44] Dakki
    They're Kyo that we were using as slaves.
[17:47] Dakki
    Taikobo here was born of the Kyo,
[17:49] Dakki
    which means we can't trust any of them.
[17:51] Dakki
    So I'm throwing them all into the Taibon!
[17:54] Taikobo
    Stop, Dakki! I'm the only one at fault!
[17:56] Dakki
    Now, let the Taibon party begin!
SIGN    HAKYU HOSHIN ENGI
[18:07] Teikobo
    Everybody, run!
[18:08] Boy
    What are you saying?
[18:10] Boy
    This is your fault!
[18:12] Boy
    You poked a hornet's nest
     knowing that you were powerless!
[18:16] Boy
    I don't want to die this way!
[18:19] Boy
    Everyone, let's fight!
[18:35] Hiko
    It's working!
[18:36] Dakki
    Did you forget...
[18:38] Dakki
    that your little sister is
    still in my possession?
[19:13] Hiko
    I threw your clothes in the snake pit.
[19:16] Hiko
    As far as they know, you're dead.
[19:18] Taikobo
    All of those Kyo were killed.
[19:39] Taikono
    Why did you save me?
[19:42] Taikobo
    What's happened can never be undone.
[19:45] Hiko
    Taikobo, the moment I met you,
[19:48] Hiko
    I had this feeling...
[19:51] Hiko
    So it wasn't for me.
[19:54] Hiko
    I saved you for the sake of this world.
[19:57] Hiko
    Stay alive.
[19:59] Hiko
    I won't forgive weakness.
[20:02] Taikobo
    No weakness, huh?
SIGN    I had this made to look like what you were wearing. Take it if you want. There was also some scroll thing, so I'll leave it on the shelf.
[20:13] Taikobo
    I've lost so much...
[20:21] (Flashback) Taikobo
    All right! I caught one!
[20:24] (Flashback) Taikobo
    It's a rainbow trout.
[20:26] (Flashback) Fugen
    Bo, you shouldn't catch fish
    when you can't even eat them.
[20:30] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I know that!
[20:31] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Here! Catch and release!
[20:34] (Flashback) Fugen
    Here, I'll give you something nice.
[20:36] (Flashback) Fugen
    It's a fishing hook I made myself.
[20:38] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Hey! That won't catch anything!
[20:40] (Flashback) Fugen
    You go fishing when you
    need to think, don't you?
[20:44] (Flashback) Fugen
    Don't you feel bad for hurting the fish
     just so you can think?
[20:49] (Flashback) Taikobo
    You really hate conflict, don't you?
[20:52] (Flashback) Fugen
    The same goes for you, doesn't it?
[20:54] (Flashback) Fugen
    But something tells me you'll devote
    yourself to fighting someday.
[20:59] (Flashback) Fugen
    There's a shining blade deep
    inside your heart, after all.
[21:03] (Flashback) Fugen
    When that day comes,
    I'll be right beside you.
[21:07] (Flashback) Fugen
    I have that much strength, at least.
[21:12] Taikobo
    Fugen, you were right.
[21:16] Taikobo
    I don't want to hurt anyone.
[21:18] Taikobo
    I want to create a safe human
    world without fighting.
[21:21] Taikobo
    But is it impossible
    to avoid fighting forever?
[21:25] Shinkohyo
    You disappoint me.
[21:28] Shinkohyo
    Why are you smiling? It's rather creepy.
[21:32] Shinkohyo
    Kokutenko.
[21:33] Kokutenko
    Yes!
[21:38] Shinkohyo
    Now you owe me.
[21:43] Shinkohyo
    I'm expecting you to entertain
     me much, much more.
[22:27] Supushan
    Huh?
[22:28] Supushan
    Where are we?
[22:31] Taikobo
    Come on, it's time to go.
[22:34] Taikobo
    I did a lot of thinking
    while you were asleep.
[22:38] Taikobo
    I realized that I can't win alone,
[22:40] Taikobo
    so I'm going to find some allies.
[22:42] Supushan
    Allies?
[22:43] Taikobo
    That's right!
[22:45] Taikobo
    We'll put together a grand army of allies!
[22:56] Bunchu
    How many years have we been here?
[22:59] Kokukirin
    You could easily quell a backwoods
    rebellion with your paopei.
[23:04] Kokukirin
    Why do you not, Master Bunchu?
[23:07] Bunchu
    Kokukirin, when fighting humans, it's proper
    battle etiquette to face them as a human.
[23:12] Bunchu
    However...
[23:13] Bunchu
    When you're up against Sennin and
    Doshi, that's another matter.
[23:19] Bunchu
    I will not allow anyone, no matter who,
    to bring harm to King Chu or the Yin.
