[00:05] Bunchu
    For someone half-dead,
    you're very persistent, Buseioh.
[00:09] Hiko
    Same to you.
[00:11] Bunchu
    I have no intention of fighting
    you in earnest here.
[00:14] Bunchu
    I want a dignified battle with our armies
    after we return to the human world!
[00:19] Bunchu
    Leave here at once!
[00:21] Hiko
    Oh, shut up.
[00:24] Hiko
    I won't feel better until
    I slug you a good one.
[00:27] Bunchu
    Slug... me?
[00:31] Bunchu
    Then you leave me no choice.
[00:36] Hiko
    You...
[00:39] Hiko
    stupid idiot!
[00:58] Bunchu
    Hiko...
[00:59] Bunchu
    I see now. The thing I wanted to protect...
[01:05] Bunchu
    It was...

[02:52] Supushan
    Should we really be loafing around like this?
[02:56] Taikobo
    Dakki's power is too overwhelming.
[02:59] Taikobo
    As things stand, I'm no match for her.
[03:02] Supushan
    That's why we need to find some
    strong allies to face her with!
[03:07] Taikobo
    But if we keep at this, we might
    actually catch something big...
[03:14] Supushan
    Still reeling from your
    defeat at Dakki's hands?
SIGN    Choka
[03:38] Hiko
    What? Did you say Bunchu?
[03:40] Guy
    Yes, sir. I'm also told that the uprising
    in Hokkai will soon be suppressed.
[03:45] Hiko
    I see.
[03:46] Hiko
    And when is he scheduled to return?
[03:49] Bunchu
    I'm already here.
[03:51] Bunchu
    You've aged a bit, Hiko.
[03:55] Hiko
    Come on... Is that all you have to say to me?
[03:59] Hiko
    Better that than some Doshi who never ages.
[04:04] Bunchu
    I guess both of us are still
[04:08] Bunchu
    as salty as ever.
[04:09] Bunchu
    Thanks for keeping Yin in
    one piece while I was away.
[04:12] Hiko
    It wasn't easy.
[04:14] Hiko
    That damn shrew is here, after all.
[04:17] Bunchu
    About twenty years ago...
[04:24] (Flashback) Beast
    You will pay, humans!
[04:26] (Flashback) Beast
    I'll slaughter every last one of you!
[04:31] (Flashback) Bunchu
    Stop!
[04:41] (Flashback) Bunchu
    No vermin messes with my Yin.
[04:46] (Flashback) Bunchu
    I will exterminate you!
[04:50] (Flashback) Hiko
    You stupid idiot!
[04:53] (Flashback) Hiko
    What moron kills first
    and asks questions later?!
[04:58] (Flashback) Bunchu
    Who are you?
[05:00] (Flashback) Hiko
    I don't have to introduce myself to you.
[05:05] (Flashback) Hiko
    There, go on.
[05:07] (Flashback) Baby
    Mama!
[05:10] (Flashback) Beast
    Oh, my little girl!
[05:13] (Flashback) Hiko
    That spirit beast's baby was
    taken by some punks from Choka.
[05:17] (Flashback) Hiko
    That's why the mother was so pissed off.
[05:21] (Flashback) Hiko
    A Grand Preceptor's gotta have
    more than just brute strength.
[05:25] (Flashback) Hiko
    Keep that in mind, will ya?
[05:32] (Flashback) Bunchu
    You're...
[05:33] (Flashback) Chu
    I've been waiting for you, Koh Hiko!
[05:35] (Flashback) Chu
    I expect you to give your all for Yin.
[05:38] (Flashback) Hiko
    I will.
[05:39] (Flashback) Hiko
    Good to see you, Grand Preceptor.
[05:42] Bunchu
    Before I knew it...
[05:46] Bunchu
    we were friends who trusted
    each other with our lives,
[05:50] Bunchu
    Hiko.

[05:59] Risei
    H-Help me!
[06:01] Risei
    He's gonna kill me!
[06:11] Risei
    That guy's my son...
[06:14] Risei
    Nataku, the paopei man!
[06:16] Taikobo
    The paopei man?
[06:19] Taikobo
    He wields three paopei
    with no problem at all?
[06:25] Risei
    H-Here it comes!
[06:29] Taikobo
    That's...
[06:30] Taikobo
    The paopei Kenkonken!
SIGN    Choka
[06:41] Bunchu
    Forgive my long absence, Your Majesty.
[06:43] Bunchu
    Come to think of it, a court vixen
    appeared two generations ago as well...
[06:50] Bunchu
    About sixty years ago,
    during Taitei's rule...
[06:56] (Flashback) Bunchu
    That's as far as you go, fox.
[06:58] (Flashback) Bunchu
    I will not allow anyone
    to bring harm to Yin!
[07:04] Bunchu
    Now that I've returned,
[07:06] Bunchu
    you won't have your way any longer.
[07:08] Bunchu
    I'll chase you out as many
    times as I must, Dakki!
[07:15] Hiko
    Y-You idiot!
[07:17] Hiko
    The king is in here!
[07:19] Bunchu
    I don't care. It's good medicine.
[07:21] Chu
    B-Bunchu! Are you trying to kill me?!
[07:25] Bunchu
    Your Majesty, Dakki is a Sennyo.
[07:30] Dakki
    That's a lie.
[07:31] Bunchu
    Your Majesty!
[07:33] Bunchu
    I have trained you since
    you were a young boy.
[07:37] Bunchu
    Who will you believe, me or that fox?!
[07:41] Chu
    Dakki.
[07:46] Hiko
    Just let it go.
[07:50] Bunchu
    Hiko...
[07:52] Bunchu
    I swear I will stop you soon enough.
[07:55] Dakki
    Oh?
[07:57] Dakki
    Do you really think you can do that, Bunchu?

[08:06] Risei
    This is Chintokan.
[08:08] Risei
    My name is Li Sei, and I'm a
    commanding officer here.
[08:12] Risei
    I once trained at Konron Mountain
[08:15] Risei
    Nataku is... an artificial human
    created by the Sennin world.
[08:21] Inshi
    Welcome home, dear.
[08:23] Risei
    Ah, perfect timing.
[08:25] Risei
    This is my wife, Inshi.
[08:27] Taikobo
    I see.
[08:29] Taikobo
    Now, please tell me about Nataku.
[08:32] Risei
    It was more than ten years ago.
[08:35] Risei
    My wife had been pregnant
    for three and a half years.
[08:39] Risei
    Of course, that's not normal.
[08:41] (Flashback) Risei
    It's all right! I'm sure our child
    will truly be a ball of love!
[08:46] Risei
    But on the inside, I had my suspicions
    that she'd give birth to a monster.
[08:52] Risei
    One day, she told me she'd had a dream.
[08:57] (Flashback) Inshi
    Who are you?
[08:59] (Flashback) Taiitsu
    I'm sorry to tell you that the baby you
    carry is nothing more than a lump of flesh.
[09:04] (Flashback) Taiitsu
    But it may yet conceive life
    if you accept this...
[09:12] (Flashback) Taiitsu
    the paopei Reiju.
[09:14] Risei
    And the child she then bore...
[09:17] Risei
    really was just like a ball.
[09:21] (Flashback) Risei
    My wife...
[09:24] (Flashback) Risei
    must never see this monster!
[09:29] Risei
    It wasn't human, but whatever it was,
     it was born with paopei on its body.
[09:36] Risei
    Yet my wife never failed
     to treat Nataku with love.
[09:43] (Flashback) Inshi
    Time to eat!
[09:44] (Flashback) Nataku
    Yum.
[09:45] (Flashback) Inshi
    Time to study. What's one plus two?
[09:48] (Flashback) Nataku
    Three.
[09:49] (Flashback) Inshi
    Very good!
SIGN    Choka
[09:55] Bunchu
    Demolish the Horaku and fill in the Taibon!
[09:58] Bunchu
    Distribute the food to the people!
[10:00] Shinkohyo
    Are you hoping to reverse all of
    the evil deeds Dakki has done?
[10:05] Bunchu
    I'm only doing what would be
    expected of a Grand Preceptor.
[10:08] Shinkohyo
    I don't understand why you place
    so much importance on Yin.
[10:25] Bunchu
    Yin is...
[10:27] Bunchu
    very much like a child to me.
[10:32] Bunchu
    That doesn't sound like me, does it?
[10:36] Shinkohyo
    Not at all.
[10:38] Shinkohyo
    So you live your life alongside Yin, Bunchu...
[10:44] Taikobo
    I see.
[10:46] Taikobo
    So I just need to stop this argument
    between Nataku and his parents.
[10:49] Supushan
    Uh, can you do that?
[10:51] Taikobo
    If we can make him our ally, it would give
    us the strength of a thousand men, no?
[10:56] Taikobo
    And to do that, we need to
    intervene here so he owes us one!
[11:01] Inshi
    Nataku!
[11:03] Taikobo
    Nataku! I have decided to take Li Sei's side!
[11:08] Taikobo
    If you want to kill Li Sei,
    you'll have to kill me first!
[11:13] Supushan
    M-M-M-Master?!
[11:14] Taikobo
    Listen, Supushan.
[11:16] Taikobo
    If your fear is so great that you can't fly,
[11:18] Taikobo
    you're no more than a hippo!
[11:21] Supushan
    A hippo?!
[11:22] Supushan
    Here I go!
[11:24] Taikobo
    Good!
[11:25] Inshi
    Taikobo!
[11:27] Inshi
    Please take care of him.
[11:29] Taikobo
    Of course.
[11:30] Taikobo
    I intend to handle this
    in the best possible way.
[11:42] Taikobo
    Here I come!
[11:48] Taikobo
    Chi!
[11:51] Supushan
    They offset each other!
[11:57] Taikobo
    Yeah, that looks like the face
    of a man born to fight.
[12:01] Taikobo
    Dodge, Supushan!
[12:08] Taikobo
    He really is strong.
[12:09] Supushan
    At this rate, we'll be
    overcome by his sheer power!
[12:12] Taikobo
    Yeah, I can't win on power alone.
[12:16] Taikobo
    What's the matter, Nataku?
    You can't hit me from that far away!
[12:28] Supushan
    He's trying to catch the paopei
    he just launched himself!
[12:39] Nataku
    Mother!
[12:40] Supushan
    What was that?
[12:42] Taikobo
    Kenkonken is a paopei that uses copper
    rings to make direct attacks.
[12:47] Taikobo
    I can't stop them both at once,
[12:49] Taikobo
    but changing their direction is easy enough.
[12:52] Risei
    Th-That was close...
[12:56] Taikobo
    Dafuba!
[13:01] Inshi
    Nataku!
[13:05] Taikobo
    What's the matter?
    Can't use your Kenkonken anymore?
[13:09] Taikobo
    Well, even if you could,
[13:11] Taikobo
    I could just change its direction
    with my Dashinben again.
[13:15] Nataku
    Why do you interfere?
[13:17] Nataku
    This is between Li Sei and me.
    It's none of your concern.
[13:21] Taikobo
    Tell me, Nataku...
[13:24] Taikobo
    Why do you despise Li Sei so?
[13:27] Nataku
    Li Sei detests me.
[13:29] Nataku
    It's no surprise, given that I was
    born possessing weapons like these.
[13:34] Nataku
    I can understand why he
    wouldn't consider me his son.
[13:38] Nataku
    And I've caused trouble for my mother.
[13:43] Taikobo
    And? Did something happen after that?
[13:47] Inshi
    Yes.
[13:48] Inshi
    It was three years ago, on a very humid day...
[13:52] Inshi
    He had gone to swim in a river that
    was supposed to be off-limits.
[13:57] Inshi
    He angered the spirit beast
    that ruled the river.
[14:01] (Flashback) Beast
    Who dares to use paopei in my river?!
[14:05] (Flashback) Beast
    Do you realize that your paopei
    causes shockwaves in the water?!
[14:09] (Flashback) Beast
    You've caused massive casualties
    among the denizens of this river!
[14:14] (Flashback) Inshi
    Please forgive him!
    Nataku is still an ignorant child!
[14:18] (Flashback) Inshi
    Please!
[14:19] (Flashback) Beast
    I refuse!
[14:20] (Flashback) Beast
    You will both be executed!
[14:32] (Flashback) Inshi
    Nataku...
[14:33] (Flashback) Nataku
    He was...
[14:37] (Flashback) Nataku
    going to kill you, too.
[14:40] Inshi
    Nataku was trying to protect me.
[14:44] Inshi
    But a few days later, the enraged
    Spirit Beast King came with his family, and...
[14:49] (Flashback) Beast
    Come forward, child who murdered my son!
[14:52] (Flashback) Inshi
    A parent is responsible
    for the sins of their children.
[14:55] (Flashback) Inshi
    I will accept any punishment!
[14:58] Inshi
    Then, to protect me again...
[15:03] (Flashback) Nataku
    Mother.
[15:05] (Flashback) Nataku
    I'm going to give back this body.
[15:13] Nataku
    I should have died.
[15:15] Nataku
    But my main body survived.
[15:19] Nataku
    I became a being made
    of consciousness alone.
[15:22] Nataku
    My mother didn't know that,
[15:24] Nataku
    so she built a glorious tomb for me.
[15:27] Nataku
    That alone was enough to satisfy my soul.
[15:30] Nataku
    But...
[15:33] (Flashback) Risei
    How dare she make a tomb like
    this without telling me?!
[15:37] (Flashback) Risei
    What if the Spirit Beast King finds out?!
[15:41] Nataku
    And then a Sennin appeared.
[15:44] (Flashback) Taiitsu
    I am Taiitsu Shinjin.
[15:46] (Flashback) Taiitsu
    Nataku, you are not destined to die yet.
[15:51] (Flashback) Taiitsu
    You will be reincarnated as a lotus.
[15:56] Nataku
    It would seem that Sennin has kept me alive.
[16:00] Nataku
    Only one thing was clear to me...
[16:04] Nataku
    I could never forgive Li Sei.
[16:08] Nataku
    The body I received from my mother has died.
[16:10] Nataku
    Li Sei is now a stranger to me.
[16:13] Taikobo
    I see!
[16:15] Taikobo
    Hearing your story has changed my mind.
[16:19] Taikobo
    Hey, Nataku!
[16:20] Taikobo
    I've decided to take your side instead.
[16:24] Taikobo
    Now hurry up and kill this foolish father!
[16:27] Supushan
    What?!
[16:30] Supushan
    M-M-M-Master, are you in your right mind?!
[16:33] Taikobo
    What's the matter, Nataku?
[16:37] Taikobo
    You can do it, can you?
[16:39] Taikobo
    With that power, you could kill your
    blockheaded father in three seconds.
[16:43] Nataku
    He's skilled at running away!
[16:45] Taikobo
    No, the truth is that you don't
    hate him as much as you say.
[16:50] Nataku
    You're wrong!
[16:52] Nataku
    I despise Li Sei!
[17:03] Nataku
    Mother...
[17:05] Nataku
    Mother!
[17:09] Taikobo
    Be grateful. I protected your parents.
[17:13] Taikobo
    I am on your side, after all!
[17:17] Nataku
    You're wrong...
[17:18] Nataku
    You're wrong.
[17:19] Nataku
    You're wrong!
[17:20] Nataku
    You're wrong!
[17:21] Nataku
    You're wrong!
[17:22] Nataku
    You're wrong!
[17:30] Taikobo
    Stop this now.
[17:33] Taikobo
    You still intend to keep going?
[17:35] Taikobo
    When your focus weakens,
    your paopei powers down.
[17:39] Taikobo
    You can never beat me in your current state!
[17:41] Inshi
    Wait!
[17:43] Inshi
    Nataku, stop this.
[17:46] Inshi
    If I lost you,
[17:50] Inshi
    or if I lost him...
[17:54] Inshi
    it would break my heart.
[18:17] Nataku
    I've lost.
[18:23] Nataku
    What am I to those two?
[18:27] Nataku
    After being reborn, I don't have any
    physical relation to them.
[18:32] Nataku
    But my mother told me not to kill Li Sei.
[18:36] Nataku
    So I won't kill him.
[18:38] Taikobo
    Good. I think that's the right choice.
[18:42] Taikobo
    No matter what your body is now,
[18:45] Taikobo
    I think the three of you are
    very obviously a family.
[18:55] Taikobo
    You're...
[18:58] Bunchu
    A rebellion?
[19:00] Bunchu
    The Eastern prince?

SIGN    South Gaku Suu
[19:02] Chu
    I had the previous Eastern
    prince, Kyo Kanso, executed.
[19:07] Chu
    Kyo Hi, his younger sister
    and my wife, then killed herself.
[19:12] Chu
    It's no surprise that his heir,
    Kyo Bunkan, would initiate a rebellion.
[19:17] Chu
    And so...
[19:19] Chu
    I want one of you to go and
    persuade the Eastern prince...
[19:22] Chu
    with an army of fifty thousand soldiers.
[19:25] Bunchu
    Hiko.
[19:27] Bunchu
    This was just one of the fox's
    schemes to send me away.
[19:30] Bunchu
    She has already killed the Eastern prince.
[19:33] Hiko
    What?
[19:35] Bunchu
    That fox...
[19:37] Bunchu
    It seems her greatest weapon is not her
    Temptation spell, but her intellect.
[19:41] Taiitsu
    Well done!
[19:43] Taiitsu
    You succeeded in ceasing this
    fight between father and son.
[19:47] Nataku
    You're...
[19:48] Taikobo
    Taiitsu Shinjin!
[19:50] Taiitsu
    You know, I wanted to intervene myself,
[19:54] Taiitsu
    but I couldn't do something as cowardly
    as using his mother as a shield.
[20:00] Taikobo
    I haven't seen you in so long,
    and that's what you have to say?!
[20:03] Taiitsu
    Oh, I'm sorry. It's been what?
     Three hundred years?
[20:05] Taiitsu
    Good to see you again!
[20:08] Taiitsu
    Nataku, it seems you are
    still mentally immature.
[20:12] Taiitsu
    I'll have you train under me.
[20:17] Nataku
    And who are you to me? Speak!
[20:20] Taiitsu
    My goodness... Very well.
[20:29] Taikobo
    Now that's a paopei made
    especially to capture!
[20:32] Taiitsu
    By the way, Taikobo...
[20:35] Taiitsu
    Could you have Supushan
    get me down from here?
[20:38] Taiitsu
    I climbed up to make myself look cool,
    but I'm scared to climb down...
[20:43] Nataku
    Hey! Let me out!
[20:45] Taiitsu
    Don't worry about Nataku. I will train him.
[20:46] Nataku
    Let me out of here!
[20:48] Nataku
    Let me out! Let me out!
[20:48] Inshi
    Y-Yes, great Sennin.
[20:50] Nataku
    Hey! Let me out! Let me out of here! Hey!
[20:52] Inshi
    It hurts, but I suppose
    we must part for now...
[20:55] Taiitsu
    Taikobo, once Nataku's training is complete,
[20:59] Taiitsu
    he will work as your right hand.
[21:02] Taiitsu
    But there's no need to rush.
    We'll take things slowly.
SIGN    Taiitsu
[21:10] Risei
    Maybe I should start training again, too.
[21:13] Risei
    What kind of father am I if I'm
    being defeated all the time?
[21:18] Risei
    Next time, I'll be the one to...
[21:20] Taikobo
    Yes, that sounds good.
[23:06] Bunchu
    Your Majesty, I have silenced the rebellion.
[23:09] Chu
    Bunchu... I have bad news.
