**[00:41] (Flashback) Dad**
Bo!
**[00:43] (Flashback) Dad**
You're alive?!
**[00:46] (Flashback) Dad**
Thank goodness, Bo...
**[00:49] (Flashback) Dad**
Thank goodness...

**[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.
***SIGN*** Seal
**[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.
***SIGN*** DIE

***SIGN*** DIE
***SIGN*** WHO AM I?
**[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.
***SIGN*** HAKYU HOSHIN ENGI
**[09:30] (Flashback) Hakutsuru**
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...
