[00:02] Yozen
    Maintaining a human form was
    always a simple task for me.
[00:07] Yozen
    Using a false form within human society
[00:11] Yozen
    is easier than revealing
    my true self, after all.
[00:15] Yozen
    But it meant
[00:15] Yozen
    that I couldn't truly open my heart
    to anyone but my master.
[00:26] (Flashback) Gyokutei
    Let's go back now, Yozen.
[00:29] (Flashback) Gyokutei
    Before you catch a cold.
[00:41] Yozen
    I don't need to open my heart to anyone.
[00:44] Yozen
    I can do anything I want to by myself.
[00:47] Yozen
    I have everything I need.
[00:50] Yozen
    But then, on that day...
[00:54] Yozen
    I met him.

[02:39] Taikobo
    Supu, listen to me carefully
     and don't turn around.
[02:42] Supushan
    Huh? What's the matter?
[02:44] Taikobo
    Someone is following us.
[02:46] Supushan
    Huh?!
[02:48] Taikobo
    That smell... Do you recognize that?
[02:52] Supushan
    A smell?
[02:55] Supushan
    It smells like Da... Da... Da...
[02:57] Taikobo
    Shh! Calm down!
[02:59] Supushan
    Da-Da...
[02:59] Taikobo
    Turn around on the count of three!
[03:02] Taikobo
    One...
[03:03] Supushan
    Two...
[03:04] Both
    Three!
SIGN    Do as before!
SIGN    Do As Before!
[03:11] Both
    Dakki!
[03:12] Dakki
    So good to see you again!
[03:19] Supushan
    M-My legs gave out.
[03:22] Taikobo
    Supu...
[03:24] Dakki
    I finally found you, Taikobo!
[03:27] Supushan
    Wh-Why is Dakki all the way out here?!
[03:31] Dakki
    Why, to get rid of you two, of course!
[03:35] Dakki
    Supushan...
[03:39] Dakki
    It breaks my heart,
[03:40] Dakki
    but I'm going to use my
    new paopei, Sansento,
[03:44] Dakki
    to turn you into sashimi!
[03:48] Taikobo
    Stop, Dakki!
[03:51] Supushan
    Huh? This is strange.
[03:54] Supushan
    Dakki usually has others do everything for
    her and never lifts a finger on her own,
[03:57] Supushan
    but there's no one here with her.
[04:00] Supushan
    Is it some kind of trap again?
[04:02] Dakki
    Now, show me what you can do!
[04:06] Dakki
    Prepare to be bewitched by my sexy calves!
[04:15] Taikobo
    I can't take it anymore!
    You're a riot, you phony!
[04:18] Supushan
    Huh? Phony?
[04:20] Taikobo
    Yeah!
[04:21] Taikobo
    I mean, it looks just like her,
[04:23] Taikobo
    but there's no denying the feeling
    that something just isn't right.
[04:27] Taikobo
    And above all, the real Dakki
    doesn't call you "Supushan."
[04:32] Taikobo
    She calls you "Supu"!
[04:35] Supushan
    That gave it away?!
[04:36] Taikobo
    I've heard there's a genius Doshi in the
    Sennin world skilled in transformations.
[04:42] Taikobo
    I believe his name was...
[04:44] Taikobo
    Yozen!
[04:46] Dakki
    Well, you got me.
[04:48] Dakki
    It seems my reputation
    has worked against me.
[04:54] Yozen
    Congratulations on seeing
    through my disguise, Taikobo.
[04:57] Yozen
    You are correct.
[04:59] Yozen
    I am Yozen, student to
    Gyokutei Shinjin of Kinkado
[05:02] Yozen
    at Mount Gyokusen in the
    Konron mountain range.
[05:05] Supushan
    Wow, he's really good-looking!
[05:08] Supushan
    He looks more like a
    protagonist than you do.
[05:10] Taikobo
    Shut up!
[05:11] Taikobo
    Just think about it, Supu.
[05:14] Taikobo
    This guy was just disguised as Dakki!
[05:16] Taikobo
    He said he was gonna bewitch me!
[05:19] Yozen
    Come on, you weren't supposed
    to bring that up...
[05:23] Taikobo
    Well? What is it you're after?
[05:26] Taikobo
    That was quite the greeting for
    someone you've never met before.
[05:31] Yozen
    Master Genshitenson gave me an order.
[05:35] Yozen
    He told me to follow you
[05:38] Yozen
    and assist you with the Hoshin Project.
[05:41] Taikobo
    Oh, that's a huge help!
[05:44] Taikobo
    A guy like you is more than welcome!
     I'll have it easy now!
[05:47] Yozen
    However, I only agreed on one condition.
[05:50] Taikobo
    A condition?
[05:51] Yozen
    He had to let me test you to find
    out if your skills surpass mine.
[05:57] Yozen
    If you perform poorly,
[06:00] Yozen
    I will carry out the
    Hoshin Project in your place
[06:03] Yozen
    and defeat Dakki myself.
[06:05] Taikobo
    What?!
[06:07] Yozen
    Show me whether or not you're
    a man I can reveal myself to,
[06:12] Yozen
    all right?
SIGN    Choka
[06:17] Chi
    Bunchu... I have bad news.
[06:21] Bunchu
    Hiko betrayed Choka?!
[06:25] Bunchu
    There must be some mistake.
[06:28] Chu
    Bunchu...
[06:29] Bunchu
    He would never betray us
[06:31] ---
    unless the circumstances were truly dire...
[06:35] Bunchu
    It couldn't be...
[06:41] Bunchu
    Hiko...
[06:47] (Flashback) Kashi
    Dear.
[06:49] (Flashback) Hiko
    Kashi!
[06:51] (Flashback) Kashi
    I'm going to visit your sister.
[06:53] (Flashback) Kashi
    I only get to see her during New Year's.
[06:56] (Flashback) Hiko
    You're going to the inner palace?
[06:59] (Flashback) Kashi
    I'll be fine.
[07:06] (Flashback) Hiko
    Be careful.
[07:08] (Flashback) Hiko
    I'd like to go with you,
[07:11] (Flashback) Hiko
    but men aren't allowed in the inner palace.
[07:14] (Flashback) Kashi
    I know.
[07:18] (Flashback) Dakki
    Oh!
[07:20] (Flashback) Dakki
    If it isn't the Buseioh's wife!
[07:23] (Flashback) Kokibi
    Loli loli!
[07:25] Kashi
    Dakki?!
[07:26] (Flashback) Dakki
    Come have some drinks with me!
[07:29] (Flashback) Kashi
    Uh, but...
[07:30] (Flashback) Dakki
    Oh, come on!
[07:36] Kashi
    She's so beautiful...
[07:39] Kashi
    But what's going through her head?
[07:42] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    Sister!
[07:44] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    I told you to leave me alone!
[07:47] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    Do you realize what's
    going on here right now?
[07:50] (Flashback) Kashi
    I'm sorry. I never expected this...
[07:55] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    My empress, King Chu has arrived.
[07:59] (Flashback) Dakki
    Gosh, he's so late!
[08:02] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    His Majesty?
[08:04] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    You mustn't, Empress Dakki!
[08:05] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    It's improper for a retainer's
    wife to meet the king!
[08:09] (Flashback) Chu
    Dakki! Let me join the party, too!
[08:15] (Flashback) Chu
    Who's that?
[08:17] (Flashback) Dakki
    This is the Buseioh's wife.
[08:20] (Flashback) Chu
    What?!
[08:21] (Flashback) Chu
    F-Forgive my intrusion!
[08:23] (Flashback) Dakki
    Wait, King Chu.
[08:25] (Flashback) Dakki
    Kashi is a very beautiful woman.
[08:29] (Flashback) Dakki
    I'm nothing in comparison to her.
[08:35] (Flashback) Chu
    Well, just one look...
[08:37] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    Dakki! How could you...
[08:41] (Flashback) Chu
    W-Wait! Let me see your face!
[08:51] (Flashback) Chu
    You can't escape, Kashi, my dear!
[08:59] (Flashback) Chu
    I wouldn't say you're as beautiful as
    Dakki, but you'd make my top five!
[09:04] (Flashback) Kashi
    Don't touch me.
[09:08] (Flashback) Kashi
    I am the wife of the Buseioh, Koh Hiko.
[09:12] (Flashback) Kashi
    And I am proud of that.
[09:14] (Flashback) Kashi
    I won't let anyone taint me.
[09:18] (Flashback) Chu
    You are a fine woman.
    I truly want to make you mine.
[09:21] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    Your Majesty! Please stop!
[09:26] (Flashback) Dakki
    What belongs to the king's
    retainers belongs to the king.
[09:31] (Flashback) Chu
    You will be mine.
[09:35] (Flashback) Kashi
    If I refuse, my husband will
    be held accountable as well.
[09:40] (Flashback) Kashi
    Very well. As of this moment,
    I belong to the king.
[09:48] (Flashback) Kashi
    But...
[09:50] (Flashback) Kashi
    You cannot have your way with my heart.
[09:54] (Flashback) Chu
    Kashi!
[10:04] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    No! Sister!
[10:29] (Flashback) Chu
    K-Koh Shi...
[10:31] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    My brother and sister-in-law are
    bound to this place because I'm here.
[10:36] (Flashback) Chu
    Koh Shi!
[10:39] (Flashback) Koh Shi
    Brother... please follow your own path.
[11:03] (Flashback) Koh Mei
    Terrible news!
[11:05] (Flashback) Koh Mei
    Your wife and the Lady Koh have...

SIGN    Rintokan
[11:21] Taikobo
    Test me?
[11:23] Yozen
    You will undergo three tests.
[11:25] Yozen
    The first is already complete.
[11:28] Yozen
    When you encountered your
    greatest enemy, Dakki,
[11:33] Yozen
    you retained your composure.
[11:36] Yozen
    You passed.
[11:37] Taikobo
    So... there are still more tests?
[11:41] Yozen
    Naturally.
[11:43] Yozen
    Let's continue!
[11:46] Taikobo
    Supushan!
[11:47] Supushan
    What are you doing?!
[11:49] Supushan
    Let me go!
[11:52] Taikobo
    That dog is no spirit beast.
[11:55] Yozen
    Correct. He is my paopei, Kotenken.
[11:59] Yozen
    Now, Kotenken, bite Supushan!
[12:04] Taikobo
    Supushan!
[12:06] Yozen
    Taikobo, unless you answer
    my challenge in earnest,
[12:09] Yozen
    Supushan will die.
[12:11] Yozen
    I need to see your strength.
[12:13] Yozen
    That is my second test.
[12:16] Taikobo
    Come on, Supu!
    If he's biting you, bite him back!
[12:20] Supushan
    I-I can't! I'm not the fighting type!
[12:25] ---
    Are you going to continue playing dumb...
[12:28] Yozen
    Taikobo?!
[12:36] Supushan
    Master!
[12:38] Supushan
    Why didn't you dodge?!
[12:41] Taikobo
    Yozen, it makes no difference
    who wins or loses this fight.
[12:47] Yozen
    You've won me over.
[12:49] Yozen
    You didn't even flinch in the face of danger.
[12:54] Yozen
    I'll call this a passing
    score on your second test.
[13:06] Chu
    The sun is setting.
[13:11] Hiko
    Your Majesty, I'd like to
    request a training match.
[13:15] Chu
    So you've come.
[13:37] Shinkohyo
    I seem to have come upon
    quite the intriguing spectacle.
[13:40] Dakki
    Oh! Shinkohyo!
[13:51] Chu
    What happened was an accident!
[13:54] Hiko
    I know it wasn't your fault.
[13:57] Hiko
    But still, I have to settle this score!
[14:07] Yozen
    Look there.
[14:10] Yozen
    Those people have fled
    Choka to head for Seiki.
[14:13] Yozen
    But a checkpoint called Rintokan lies ahead.
[14:18] Yozen
    Most likely, they'll all be captured there.
[14:22] Yozen
    This is your third test.
[14:25] Yozen
    See that these powerless
    people make it to the west.
[14:29] Yozen
    This won't be easy.
[14:31] Yozen
    If you succeed, I'll acknowledge your skill.
[14:35] Taikobo
    Who do you think you are?!
[14:37] Taikobo
    You really think you're that important?!
[14:41] Taikobo
    "Test," my ass!
[14:43] Taikobo
    Sure, you're a genius, all right!
[14:45] Taikobo
    So why doesn't the great
    genius help those refugees?!
[14:50] Taikobo
    Still...
[14:51] Taikobo
    If I back down now,
    I won't be able to live with myself.
[14:57] Taikobo
    Yozen...
[14:59] Taikobo
    I'm going to be a bit mean.
[15:02] Taikobo
    Let's go, Supu!
[15:04] Supushan
    R-Roger!
[15:07] Yozen
    What is he going to do?
[15:18] Shinkohyo
    Oh-ho... The Buseioh possesses martial
    arts skills that would rival a Sennin.
[15:23] Shinkohyo
    To fight on even footing with such a man...
[15:43] Chu
    You wish to leave, then?
[15:48] Hiko
    Yes.
[15:51] Chu
    I see. I will miss you.
[15:54] Chu
    Are you going to Seiki?
[15:56] Hiko
    Yes.
[15:58] Chu
    I see.
[16:05] Hiko
    Kashi...
[16:15] Yozen
    He won't abandon these people.
[16:19] Taikobo
    How can you flee when some
    of your people still remain in Choka?
[16:24] Taikobo
    I cannot allow such cowards
    to pass through here!
[16:28] Taikobo
    I take the side of this checkpoint's soldiers!
[16:38] Yozen
    You weren't even worth testing.
[16:41] Yozen
    It would be one thing if you'd
    terrorized me, but these people?!
[16:46] Yozen
    Master Genshitenson, you chose the wrong man!
[16:50] Yozen
    And I was wrong to have hope
    for him, even for an instant.
[16:55] Yozen
    Show me whether or not you're
    a man I can reveal myself to,
[17:00] Yozen
    all right?
[17:04] Yozen
    Transform!
[17:09] Commander
    Splendid work, great Doshi.
[17:11] Commander
    They're all running away.
[17:13] Taikobo
    No. Look over there.
[17:22] Commander
    B-B-Buseioh?!
[17:26] Hiko
    What's going on here?
[17:29] Hiko
    Why won't you let them
    through the checkpoint?!
[17:33] Commander
    B-But...
SIGN    This is an order! Don't you dare let the people who fled from Choka through Rintokan! By Dakki
[17:34] Commander
    I have orders from the empress!
[17:37] Hiko
    Things have changed.
[17:40] Hiko
    Let those people through right now.
[17:42] Commander
    Yes, sir!
[17:43] Taikobo
    Don't be fooled!
[17:46] Taikobo
    That Buseioh is a fake!
[17:48] Taikobo
    Don't fall for it!
[17:50] Commander
    What? A fake?
[17:53] Hiko
    Very well. You decide.
[17:57] Hiko
    Which one of us is lying, me or this Doshi?
[18:07] Commander
    Apprehend that dubious Doshi!
[18:21] Supushan
    Master...
[18:23] Commander
    You have my thanks, Buseioh.
[18:25] Commander
    This half-witted Doshi nearly had me fooled.
[18:29] Yozen
    Strange...
[18:30] Yozen
    Supushan should have been the
    first to chastise Taikobo.
[18:34] Yozen
    Why didn't he say anything?
[18:37] Supushan
    Master, if you keep doing things like this,
[18:40] Supushan
    people will hate you even though
     you're doing good things.
[18:45] Yozen
    He did get those refugees through the barrier!
[18:47] Yozen
    And excluding Taikobo himself,
    no one was hurt.
[18:52] Yozen
    Did he...
[18:53] Guy
    You piece of... How dare you?!
[18:54] Supushan
    No! Stop!
[18:55] Hiko
    Stop it!
[19:00] Hiko
    I can't believe you.
[19:06] Yozen
    Taikobo...
[19:08] Yozen
    You went so far as to use
    me to save those people?
[19:12] Yozen
    Well done.
[19:14] Taikobo
    How was that, Supu?
    My acting fooled even the genius!
[19:18] Supushan
    For a Doshi, you certainly are
    good at that, if nothing else.
[19:22] Yozen
    That's exactly the problem!
[19:25] Yozen
    I was highly confident in
    my Dakki transformation.
[19:30] Dakki
    But you saw through me in no time!
[19:33] Dakki
    My acting skills still need work!
[19:36] Dakki
    I'll have to return to the
     Sennin world to practice.
[19:40] Taikobo
    What? You're not going to
    become my ally right now?!
[19:43] Dakki
    Well, I am a perfectionist, after all!
[19:48] Dakki
    So bye-bye, Taikobo!
[19:51] Dakki
    Until we meet again!
[19:53] Taikobo
    Could it be that he just
    likes dressing as a girl?
[20:02] Yozen
    Maybe he could understand me...
[20:06] Yozen
    Even trust me.
[20:11] Yozen
    But...
[20:13] Yozen
    I suppose it won't be
    that easy to tell him...
[20:22] Yozen
    Taikobo, a storm is brewing
     in the skies over Choka.
[20:27] Yozen
    Please hurry to the west.
[20:29] Yozen
    When the time comes, I will appear once more
[20:34] Yozen
    to be of help to you.
[22:10] Chu
    The Buseioh's family left Choka
    yesterday to head for Seiki.
[22:15] Chu
    I'm going to let them go without hindrance.
[22:19] Bunchu
    If Hiko integrates into Seiki,
[22:21] Bunchu
    the people will acknowledge
    Ki Sho as the true king.
[22:26] Bunchu
    If Seiki gains any more power,
    it will have to be crushed for good.
[22:32] Bunchu
    Regardless of the fact that I'm older,
[22:35] Bunchu
    you always acted like the older brother.
[22:38] Bunchu
    But I really didn't mind that.
[22:43] Bunchu
    You were the one person
    I could open my heart to.
[22:49] Kokukirin
    Master Bunchu.
[22:51] Bunchu
    Kokukirin...
[22:53] Bunchu
    Summon the Shisei of Kuryu Island.
[22:55] Kokukirin
    The Shisei? You truly intend
    to defeat Koh Hiko, then?
[23:01] Bunchu
    It is all for the sake of Yin and King Chu.
[23:05] Kokukirin
    Understood. I'm on my way.
[23:11] Bunchu
    Hiko...
[23:13] Bunchu
    I'm going to kill you.
[23:17] Bunchu
    The path you and I walked
    together splits here.
