**[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.
