[02:28] Ohtenkun
    So, what'll it be,
[02:31] Ohtenkun
    Taikobo?
[02:42] Taikobo
    Just wait a moment, Ohtenkun.
[02:45] Taikobo
    I do have a bit of an
    attachment to who I am now.
[02:49] Taikobo
    I can't make this decision that easily.
[02:53] Taikobo
    My mother and father raised me well...
[02:58] (Flashback) Dad
    Do you see how those people are living, Bo?
[03:02] (Flashback) Dad
    One day, you will protect
    this village as its leader
[03:06] (Flashback) Dad
    and guide those people.
[03:08] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Yes, Father.
[03:16] (Flashback) Woman
    Oh? Master Ryobo?
[03:19] (Flashback) Woman
    What is the son of the Kyo
    leader doing out here?
[03:24] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Looking after the sheep.
[03:26] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I'm twelve now.
[03:28] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I'm more than old enough to work.
[03:30] (Flashback) Woman
    Oh, but all the way out here,
     and all by yourself?
[03:37] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Yin troops...
[03:39] (Flashback) Taikobo
    It can't be...
[03:42] (Flashback) Taikobo
    The village!
[03:45] Taikobo
    I lost my clan and was left all alone.
[03:52] (Flashback) Genshi
    My name is Genshi,
[03:54] (Flashback) Genshi
    and I have come for you.
[03:56] (Flashback) Genshi
    You are to become a Sennin.
[03:59] (Flashback) Taikobo
    My mother, father,
    elder brother, and younger sister...
[04:02] (Flashback) Taikobo
    They were all taken away and buried.
[04:05] (Flashback) Taikobo
    If I become a great Sennin, will I
    be able to defeat the bad people?!
SIGN    Konron Mountain
[04:11] Taikobo
    My memories of entering the Sennin world
[04:13] Taikobo
    and beginning to train as a Doshi...
[04:17] (Flashback) Genshi
    Taikobo has talent.
[04:20] (Flashback) Genshi
    In less than thirty years, he has
    gained remarkable strength.
[04:24] (Flashback) Hakutsuru
    He has become quite lazy recently, though.
[04:27] (Flashback) Genshi
    He most likely thought that if he were lazy,
[04:30] (Flashback) Genshi
    he would be allowed to
    train in the human world.
[04:36] (Flashback) Fugen
    Bo...
[04:38] (Flashback) Fugen
    Bo. Bo?
[04:48] (Flashback) Fugen
    You do have a long way to go.
[04:55] (Flashback) Fugen
    Will Master Genshitenson be all right?
[04:58] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Oh, he'll be fine.
[05:00] (Flashback) Taikobo
    You're the one who concocted
    that sleeping drug, after all.
[05:06] (Flashback) Fugen
    I made it a little too strong,
[05:08] (Flashback) Fugen
    so he might be out for about a week.
[05:12] (Flashback) Taikobo
    What a thing to say with
    such a calm expression...
[05:15] (Flashback) Fugen
    Well, you said you wanted
    to see the human world.
[05:18] (Flashback) Fugen
    We'll need at least that much time.
[05:20] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Yeah.
[05:22] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I want to see as much of
    that great big world as I can!
[05:29] (Flashback) Taikobo
    What?! But we've trained equally!
[05:31] (Flashback) ---
    Why do only you get a paopei?!
SIGN    Konron Mountain
[05:34] (Flashback) Fugen
    My effort, I guess.
[05:36] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Why?!
[05:40] (Flashback) Genshi
    I leave this scroll in your hands.
[05:43] (Flashback) Genshi
    It is not my intention to let Dakki
    and her underlings do as they please.

[05:49] Taikobo
    The "I'll show you!" feeling when I was
    assigned to carry out the Hoshin Project...
[06:02] Ohtenkun
    I'm sort of the mirror that reflects
    the darkness in your heart.
[06:07] Ohtenkun
    And you're the mirror that
    reflects the light in mine.
[06:12] Taikobo
    What are you saying?
[06:31] Ohtenkun
    That damned old man is behind it all.
[06:37] Ohtenkun
    I used to be a human named Oh Eki.
[06:42] Ohtenkun
    Apparently, Oh Eki had the extremely
    unique ability to split his soul in two.
[06:49] Ohtenkun
    When Genshitenson learned of this,
[06:52] Ohtenkun
    he split Oh Eki's soul in two...
[06:58] Ohtenkun
    and gave one to Kingo Island.

[07:09] Dakki
    I'll get you out of here.
[07:12] Dakki
    I'll lend strength to your hatred.
[07:32] Ohtenkun
    At Kingo Island, his soul
    was separated yet again,
[07:37] Ohtenkun
    placed into a yokai-based body,
     and named Ohtenkun.
SIGN    Tsu
[07:48] (Flashback) Tsuten
    Genshitenson... Taijo Rokun...
[07:52] (Flashback) Tsuten
    Dakki... Yozen...
[07:55] (Flashback) Tsuten
    Oh Eki... Joka...
[07:59] (Flashback) Ohtenkun
    That was easier than I expected.
[08:02] (Flashback) Dakki
    So long as you do what I say,
    everything will work out.
[08:08] (Flashback) Dakki
    Everything.
[08:16] Ohtenkun
    You know why I have such a deep
    interest in you, don't you?
[08:25] (Flashback) Ohtenkun
    Well, I had a hunch you'd manage.
[08:28] (Flashback) Ohtenkun
    After all, you have his blood
    running through your veins.
[08:32] (Flashback) Ohtenkun
    We would be happy to accept you here.
[08:36] (Flashback) Ohtenkun
    But if word of who you really
    are gets around Konron,
[08:39] (Flashback) Ohtenkun
    you know exactly what they'll
    start saying behind your back.
[08:45] (Flashback) Ohtenkun
    That's just how humans are.
[08:48] Ohtenkun
    In the end, all you did...
[08:52] (Flashback) Gyokutei
    Take care of Yozen.
[08:58] Ohtenkun
    ...was sacrifice him.
[09:01] Ohtenkun
    You and I are fated to be despised.

    Your spirit beast, Supushan.
[09:31] (Flashback) Hakutsuru
    Use him as your ride.
[09:35] (Flashback) Supushan
    Are you Taikobo?
[09:36] (Flashback) Supushan
    I'm Supushan. Nice to meet you.
[09:39] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Good boy!
SIGN    The Hoshin List Shinkohyo Bunchu Dakki
[09:41] (Flashback) Taikobo
    The first one is... Shinkohyo.
[09:42] (Flashback) Supushan
    Sh-Shinkohyo?!
[09:45] (Flashback) Supushan
    He's said to be stronger than
    the Three Great Sennin!
[09:48] (Flashback) Supushan
    He's the strongest Doshi! He rides the
    strongest spirit beast, Kokutenko,
[09:51] (Flashback) SUpushan
    and he has the strongest paopei, Raikoben!
[09:54] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Wh-What? I can't fight someone like that!
[09:57] (Flashback) Supushan
    Exactly! Let sleeping dogs lie, as they say!
[10:00] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Does this go from strongest to weakest?
[10:04] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Who's the weakest, then?
[10:08] (Flashback) Shinkohyo
    Raikoben!
[10:11] (Flashback) Supushan
    I-I'm going to dodge it!
[10:13] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Close your eyes, Supushan!
[10:27] (Flashback) Hiko
    You're a Sennin, aren't you?
[10:29] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Wh-Who are you?!
[10:32] (Flashback) Hiko
    I'm Koh Hiko, the Chinkoku Buseioh!
[10:35] (Flashback) Hiko
    You don't know who I am?
[10:39] (Flashback) Hiko
    Are you going to see the empress?
[10:41] (Flashback) Taikobo
    That's right.
[10:42] (Flashback) Hiko
    For what purpose?
[10:44] (Flashback) Taikobo
    To defeat her.
[10:46] (Flashback) Supushan
    You can't just tell him that!
[10:53] (Flashback) Hiko
    Sorry, man! I'm just so used to guys showing
    up wanting to become her henchmen!
[10:58] (Flashback) Hiko
    If you were one of them...
[11:00] (Flashback) Hiko
    I would have killed you.
[11:02] (Flashback) Taikobo
    So you're not under the control
    of Dakki's Temptation, then?
[11:06] (Flashback) Hiko
    Damn right.
[11:08] (Flashback) Hiko
    I repelled that crazy sorcery by sheer will.
[11:27] (Flashback) Hiko
    Taikobo, the moment I met you,
[11:30] (Flashback) Hiko
    I had this feeling...
[11:34] (Flashback) Hiko
    I didn't save you.
[11:36] (Flashback) Hiko
    I kept you alive for the sake of this world.
[11:39] (Flashback) Hiko
    Stay alive.
[11:41] (Flashback) Hiko
    I won't forgive weakness.
[11:59] (Flashback) Taikobo
    You really hate conflict, don't you?
[12:02] (Flashback) Fugen
    The same goes for you, doesn't it?
[12:05] (Flashback) Fugen
    That's why we get along so well.
[12:08] (Flashback) Fugen
    But something tells me you'll devote
    yourself to fighting someday.
[12:12] (Flashback) Fugen
    There's a shining blade deep
    inside your heart, after all.
[12:16] (Flashback) Fugen
    When that day comes,
    I'll be right beside you.
[12:20] (Flashback) Fugen
    I have that much strength, at least.
[12:22] Taikobo
    Fugen, you were right.
[12:25] Taikobo
    I don't want to sacrifice anyone.
[12:29] Taikobo
    I want to create a safe human
    world without fighting.
[12:32] Taikobo
    But is it impossible
    to avoid fighting forever?
[12:46] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I did a lot of thinking
    while you were asleep.
[12:52] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I realized that I can't win alone,
[12:57] (Flashback) Taikobo
    so I'm going to find some allies.
[13:00] (Flashback) Taikobo
    We'll put together a grand army of allies!
[13:17] (Flashback) Li Sei
    That guy's my son...
[13:19] (Flashback) Li Sei
    Nataku, the paopei man!
[13:23] (Flashback) Li Sei
    It was born with paopei on its body.
[13:30] (Flashback) Li Sei
    Yet my wife never failed
     to treat Nataku with love.
[13:36] (Flashback) Taikobo
    If we can make him our ally, it would give
    us the strength of a thousand men, no?
[13:41] (Flashback) Taikobo
    And to do that, we need to
    intervene here so he owes us one!
[13:46] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Dafuba!
[13:54] (Flashback) Taikobo
    What's the matter?
    Can't use your Kenkonken anymore?
[13:58] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Well, even if you could,
[14:00] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I could just change its direction
    with my Dashinben again.
[14:03] (Flashback) Taikobo
    And if I do that, it might
    be your mother who dies!
[14:07] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Well?! Go on, use it!
[14:10] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Paopei have their own
    compatibilities, after all!
[14:12] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Your Kenkonken can't beat my Dashinben!
[14:16] (Flashback) Supushan
    Master, you've turned into the bad guy.
[14:21] (Flashback) Nataku
    My mother told me not to kill Li Sei.
[14:24] (Flashback) Nataku
    So I won't kill him.
[14:26] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Good. I think that's the right choice.
[14:30] (Flashback) Taikobo
    No matter what your body is now,
[14:33] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I think the three of you are
    very obviously a family.
[14:48] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Yozen!
[14:50] (Flashback) Dakki
    Well, you got me.
[14:52] (Flashback) Dakki
    It seems my reputation
    has worked against me.
[14:58] (Flashback) Yozen
    Congratulations on seeing
    through my disguise, Taikobo.
[15:02] (Flashback) Yozen
    You are correct.
[15:03] (Flashback) Yozen
    I am Yozen, student to
    Gyokutei Shinjin of Kinkado
[15:06] (Flashback) Yozen
    at Mount Gyokusen in the
    Konron mountain range.
[15:09] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Oh, that's a huge help!
[15:13] (Flashback) Taikobo
    A guy like you is more than welcome!
    I'll have it easy now!
[15:16] (Flashback) Yozen
    However, I only agreed on one condition.
[15:19] (Flashback) Taikobo
    A condition?
[15:20] (Flashback) Yozen
    He had to let me test you to find
    out if your skills surpass mine.
[15:26] (Flashback) Yozen
    If you perform poorly,
[15:29] (Flashback) Yozen
    I will carry out the
    Hoshin Project in your place
[15:32] (Flashback) Yozen
    and defeat Dakki myself.
[15:34] (Flashback) Taikobo
    What?!
[15:36] (Flashback) Genshi
    Hakutsuru, what is most essential
    is the ability to lead.
[15:42] (Flashback) Hakutsuru
    Huh?
[15:43] (Flashback) Genshi
    He does not need to be a genius.
[15:45] (Flashback) Genshi
    But he must unify his subordinates,
    care for the people,
[15:49] (Flashback) Genshi
    and make those around him
    want to be of use to him.
[15:56] (Flashback) Yozen
    Taikobo...
[15:57] (Flashback) Yozen
    You went so far as to use
    me to save those people?
[16:01] (Flashback) Yozen
    Well done.
[16:03] (Flashback) Taikobo
    How was that, Supu?
    My acting fooled even the genius!
[16:07] (Flashback) Supushan
    For a Doshi, you certainly are
    good at that, if nothing else.
[16:29] (Flashback) Tenka
    So that's Taikobo?
[16:31] (Flashback) Hiko
    Yeah.
[16:32] (Flashback) Tenka
    I had heard about him,
[16:35] (Flashback) Tenka
    but this will be my first
    time seeing him fight.
[16:38] (Flashback) Tenka
    Taikobo! I'll help you, too!
[16:41] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Right!
SIGN    Kingo Island
[16:44] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Hey, everyone!
[16:46] (Flashback) Bukichi
    Master!
[16:49] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Now, Nataku, Yozen, Li Sei,
    Dokoson, and Sengyoku
[16:53] (Flashback) Taikobo
    will return to Konron with us.
[16:56] (Flashback) Taikobo
    The Buseioh's family will
    remain in the human world.
[17:00] (Flashback) Tenka
    Taikobo! This is no time to leave us—
[17:02] (Flashback) Taikobo
    Quiet, Tenka!
[17:04] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I think you know better than
    anyone why I excluded you.
[17:15] Taikobo
    For the sake of the ones
    we wished to protect
[17:19] ---
    and the paths we believed in,
[17:21] Taikobo
    we couldn't avoid facing one another.
[17:24] Taikobo
    I must overcome you at any cost.
[17:29] Taikobo
    No matter what happens...
[17:43] (Flashback) Bunchu
    Are you Taikobo?
[17:46] (Flashback) Taikobo
    W-Wait.
[17:49] (Flashback) Bunchu
    You can still move?
[17:50] (Flashback) Taikobo
    I-I won't let anyone be killed!
[18:00] (Flashback) Yozen
    Taikobo...
[18:03] (Flashback) Yozen
    He's protecting us with a wall of wind.
[18:07] (Flashback) Yozen
    Honestly... I can't believe you.
[18:13] Taikobo
    I...
[18:15] Taikobo
    will create a safe human world.
    One without Sennin or Doshi.
[18:24] (Flashback) Bunchu
    You would keep using your paopei
    until you cough up blood?
[18:29] (Flashback) Bunchu
    You are too great a man to give to Seiki.
[18:49] Taikobo
    I have always gotten things
    done in my own way.
[18:53] Taikobo
    Am I to simply throw all that away?
[20:33] Shinkohyo
    Dakki.
[20:34] Shinkohyo
    Would you tell me the name
[20:37] Shinkoyho
    of the one who backs you, the one
    known as the "Signpost of History"?
[20:43] Shinkohyo
    Kokutenko was very curious to know her name.
[20:48] Shinkohyo
    But it's difficult to answer when the only
    name I know is the "Signpost of History."
[20:54] Dakki
    Joka.
[20:56] Shinkohyo
    Joka... Joka, eh? I see.
[21:02] Dakki
    Shinkohyo...
[21:04] Dakki
    How much do you know?
[21:07] Shinkohyo
    I believe I know essentially everything.
[21:10] Shinkohyo
    But it is no more than speculation.
    None of it is certain.
[21:17] Shinkohyo
    Joka... Only one person has ever met her.
[21:29] (Flashback) Joka
    Man...
[21:33] (Flashback) Joka
    I will give you power.
[21:36] (Flashback) Joka
    You will use that power to
    create a new nation, Yin.
[21:43] (Flashback) Dakki
    Y-You're...
[21:48] Shinkohyo
    Though you were surprised,
[21:50] Shinkohyo
    you were able to instantly
    infer what that was.
[21:54] Shinkohyo
    And then, you said something more than
    sufficient to draw Joka's interest...
[22:03] (Flashback) Dakki
    We meet at last.
[22:12] (Flashback) Joka
    Woman... Will you make a deal with me?
[22:15] (Flashback) Joka
    I will give you power
    surpassing that of a Sennin.
[22:19] (Flashback) Joka
    In return, you will help me recover my body.
[22:31] Shinkohyo
    Then when Joka said she
     wanted to destroy Yin,
[22:34] Shinkohyo
    you seduced King Chu
[22:37] Shinkohyo
    and left the nation in chaos,
    making its ruin appear natural.
[22:43] Shinkohyo
    It would seem the world is turning out
    exactly as Dakki and Joka want it.
[22:48] Shinkohyo
    But somehow, I have a feeling
    you are about to do something.
[22:55] Shinkohyo
    Am I overestimating you?
[22:58] Shinkohyo
    Even if it means you must
    throw something away...
