[00:14] Ohtenkun
    What would you like to talk about?
[00:17] Ohtenkun
    Let's see...
[00:19] Ohtenkun
    Perhaps the story of how I've carried
    out the Hoshin Plan from the shadows?
[00:23] Taikobo
    From the shadows?
[00:25] Ohtenkun
    I'm sure even you must know that,
[00:27] Ohtenkun
    at many stages, sacrifices must
    be made to achieve the goal.
[00:34] Ohtenkun
    Regardless of whether it's good or evil,
    you know it's the most effective way.
[00:39] Ohtenkun
    But you're a good person, so you can't do it.
[00:44] Taikobo
    What are you saying?
[00:46] Ohtenkun
    I'm capable of doing the things
     you want to do.
[00:51] Ohtenkun
    I'm sort of the mirror that reflects
    the darkness in your heart.
[00:55] Ohtenkun
    And you're the mirror that
    reflects the light in mine.
[01:11] Ohtenkun
    It's time to make your choice.
[01:13] Ohtenkun
    What'll it be, Taikobo?
[01:20] Ohtenkun
    You, who lost your entire
    clan and ended up alone...
[01:25] Taikobo
    My memories of entering the Sennin world
    and beginning to train as a Doshi...
[01:30] Ohtenkun
    You, who thought, "I'll show you!"
     when you were assigned
[01:33] Ohtenkun
    to carry out the Hoshin Plan...
[01:38] Taikobo
    I gained allies, and then...
[01:47] Taikobo
    I have always gotten things
    done in my own way.
[01:52] Taikobo
    Am I to simply throw all that away?
SIGN    HAKYU HOSHIN ENGI
[03:26] Taiitsu
    We're gonna crash!
SIGN    Concentration
[03:35] Fugen
    We've made contact with the barrier.
[03:36] Fugen
    With this, 29 percent of Konron Mountain's
    surface has been destroyed.
[04:11] Fugen
    The barrier is gone!
[04:12] Supushan
    He did it!
[04:14] Taikobo
    Yozen...
[04:32] YokaiA
    C-Commander Bunchu!
[04:34] YokaiA
    Konron Mountain has crashed into
    Tsutenho! It's been decimated!
[04:39] Bunchu
    Damn you, Ohtenkun...
[04:53] Yozen
    Good...
[04:55] Yozen
    Taikobo had faith in me.
[05:01] Yozen
    But I'm so exhausted that I can't even
    maintain my human form anymore.
[05:08] Yozen
    I have to find somewhere to hide...
[05:23] Ohtenkun
    Hey, sorry, Bunchu.
[05:26] Ohtenkun
    Chotenkun got himself beat up by Yozen.
[05:32] Ohtenkun
    The bastard literally took
    his victory and ran.
[05:35] Bunchu
    In that case... are you Yozen?
[05:38] Ohtenkun
    What?
[05:40] Bunchu
    The genius Doshi specializes
    in transforming himself.
[05:44] Bunchu
    The real Ohtenkun upheld my orders
[05:48] Bunchu
    and died fighting Yozen, right?
[05:51] Bunchu
    I can't believe Ohtenkun would betray me
[05:54] Bunchu
    and allow Yozen to get away.
[05:58] Bunchu
    Shall I put an end to you right now?
[06:05] Ohtenkun
    Wait a second, Bunchu!
[06:07] Ohtenkun
    I just wasn't sure if it was my place
    to decide if I could kill him!
[06:12] Ohtenkun
    After all, Yozen is the son
    of Lord Tsuten Kyoshu!
[06:19] Bunchu
    I see.
[06:22] Bunchu
    Still, that is no excuse!
[06:25] Bunchu
    It doesn't change the fact
    that he is our enemy.
[06:31] Ohtenkun
    Just hear me out.
[06:33] Ohtenkun
    Yozen can barely even move right now.
[06:38] Ohtenkun
    I have no doubt the enemy
    will come to rescue him.
[06:42] Ohtenkun
    Just a few of them,
    so they'll be less noticeable.
[06:44] Ohtenkun
    And they'll only send their best.
[06:47] Ohtenkun
    Taikobo himself might even come.
[06:50] Ohtenkun
    We just need to take him out.
[06:52] Ohtenkun
    In other words, I left Yozen alive
     as some very effective bait.
[06:58] Bunchu
    You somehow resemble the fox...
[07:02] Bunchu
    But I suppose that plan
    isn't without its merits.
[07:06] Bunchu
    I'll have all the Juttenkun
    except you carry it out.
[07:10] Bunchu
    I'll be keeping you where I can see you.
[07:13] Ohtenkun
    You don't trust me at all, huh?
[07:16] Bunchu
    Don't misunderstand.
[07:18] Bunchu
    I don't trust anyone.
[07:22] Ryukitsu
    We've made contact with Kingo Island.
[07:25] Ryukitsu
    It'll be a fair fight now.
[07:28] Ryukitsu
    But both Konron Mountain and I
     are drained of energy.
[07:33] Taikobo
    Koshu...
[07:34] Ryukitsu
    I don't need your pity.
[07:36] Ryukitsu
    Do what you must first.
[07:39] Taikobo
    Right.
[07:43] Taikobo
    All right!
[07:45] Taikobo
    First, we have to rescue Yozen.
[07:48] Genshi
    How will you do that?
[07:50] Taikobo
    This time, I'll enter Kingo Island myself.
[07:53] Taikobo
    We can't afford to lose Yozen.
[07:55] Supushan
    What? But you're our commander!
[07:58] Supushan
    We'll be in trouble if we lose you!
[08:01] Taikobo
    I will temporarily return command
    to Master Genshitenson.
[08:05] Taikobo
    More than anything, I don't want
    to leave Yozen on his own.
[08:10] Genshi
    Very well. Go, Taikobo.
[08:14] Gyokutei
    I'm going with you, Taikobo.
[08:17] Gyokutei
    Yozen is my pupil.
[08:20] Gyokutei
    He's like a son to me.
[08:23] Taikobo
    Gyokutei...
[08:38] Taikobo
    So this is what Kingo Island
     looks like inside!
[08:42] Gyokutei
    It does look more advanced
    than Konron Mountain.
[08:47] Gyokutei
    I suppose it's no wonder we
    misjudged Tsutenho's firing range.
[08:58] Gyokutei
    Taikobo, how are you going to find Yozen?
[09:01] Taikobo
    Well, first, I'm going to look
    for the barrier control room.
[09:05] Taikobo
    It's likely he'll be somewhere nearby.
[09:09] Supushan
    But, Master, why do you suppose
    there are no Sennin around here?
[09:15] Taikobo
    Well, most likely, they've
    realized that we're here.
[09:20] Taikobo
    Withdrawing all the Sennin and Doshi in
    this area was probably part of their plan.
[09:24] Taikobo
    We must remain alert.
[09:28] Supushan
    Y-You're right! So we don't
    get caught in any tra—
[09:33] Supushan
    Wh-What the—?!
[09:35] Supushan
    Master!
[09:38] Taikobo
    Supu!
SIGN    HAKYU HOSHIN ENGI
[09:48] Queen
    Since ancient times,
[09:50] Queen
    the number three has been said to
    carry connotations of sexiness.
[09:55] Venus
    Oh, is that so, Queen?
[09:57] ---
    Do you suppose that refers
    to the three of us?
[10:01] Queen
    But a truly beautiful
    woman must also be strong.
[10:10] Unsho
    The Three Unsho Sisters!
[10:19] Tenka
    I wonder if Taikobo and his
    gang are already in here.
[10:23] Hiko
    Tenka, are you all right?
[10:25] Hiko
    You still have that nasty wound
    in your belly. Don't overdo it.
[10:30] Tenka
    Yeah, but it just oozes a little
    blood now and then. I'm fine.
[10:35] Hiko
    So, what do we do now?
[10:38] Unsho
    Look down.
SIGN    Core
[10:40] Unsho
    Of all the stars within Kingo Island,
[10:43] Unsho
    the ones that shine the brightest
    are the Juttenkun's rooms.
[10:48] Unsho
    And that large, black star
    is the core of Kingo Island.
[10:56] Unsho
    Most likely, Bunchu is in there
    controlling Kingo Island right now.
[11:03] Hiko
    Bunchu...
[11:05] Tenka
    So what is this "Juttenkun"?
[11:10] Unsho
    The Juttenkun, led by Ohtenkun,
[11:15] Unsho
    are the top officers of Kingo Island.
[11:18] Unsho
    They're very troublesome Sennin
    who use the space paopei Juzetsujin.
[11:24] Hiko
    I don't follow...
[11:25] Unsho
    In any case, when you see an octagonal
    mark like this, take extreme caution.
[11:32] Gyokutei
    It seems this eight-sided mark is
    the entrance to their hyperspace.
[11:36] Gyokutei
    What now?
[11:38] Taikobo
    Supu's in trouble! We're going in!
[11:55] Taikobo
    C-Capybara?
[11:58] Gyokutei
    What is this fairytale-looking place?
[12:00] Sontenkun
    Hey...
[12:02] Supushan
    Th-The stuffed animal talked!
[12:05] Sontenkun
    Let's play.
[12:07] Sontenkun
    What do you want to play?
[12:11] Gyokutei
    Who are you?
[12:13] Sontenkun
    I'm Sontenkun, one of the Kingo Juttenkun.
[12:18] Sontenkun
    Welcome to my hyperspace, Kaketsujin.
[12:23] Both
    Juttenkun?
[12:26] Sontenkun
    This is a world of toys.
[12:28] Sontenkun
    Gyokutei Shinjin of the
    Twelve Sennin of Konron,
[12:31] Sontenkun
    and Taikobo, commander of Konron...
[12:35] Sontenkun
    You will become toys in my collection.
[12:40] Gyokutei
    Don't underestimate me.
[12:50] Taikobo
    Wow! The sonic-speed Zansenken!
[12:53] Taikobo
    It took out one of the Juttenkun in a flash!
[12:55] Gyokutei
    No, look, Taikobo.
[12:59] Gyokutei
    This was just a stuffed animal.
[13:03] Sontenkun
    Precisely, Gyokutei Shinjin!
[13:06] Sontenkun
    All of these toys are me!
[13:09] Sontenkun
    No matter how many you
    cut up, it won't matter!
[13:12] Taikobo
    You heard him, Gyokutei.
[13:15] Taikobo
    It seems the toys are not
    our enemy's true body.
[13:19] Taikobo
    He's controlling them from somewhere.
[13:27] Gyokutei
    You're a coward for not showing yourself.
[13:30] Gyokutei
    I'll cut apart everything in this room
[13:32] Gyokutei
    until you have nothing to act as your body.
[13:40] Supushan
    Th-The art of the quick draw, I see...
[13:42] Taikobo
    Definitely one of the Twelve Sennin!
[13:44] Sontenkun
    Snicker, snicker, snicker...
[13:46] Sontenkun
    That's right.
[13:48] Sontenkun
    There's something else I forgot to mention.
[13:49] Sontenkun
    I can also self-destruct.
[13:52] Gyokutei
    What?
[13:57] Gyokutei
    Self-destruct?
[13:59] Sontenkun
    Come on, play with me!
    Let's play kuzushi shogi!
[14:04] Taikobo
    Very well.
[14:05] Taikobo
    Supu, you play with him.
[14:07] Supushan
    What?! But it might be a trap!
[14:11] Supushan
    Besides, we have to hurry and find Yozen!
[14:14] Taikobo
    The only way out of here is to defeat him.
[14:18] Kyokutei
    Taikobo, do you have a plan in mind?
[14:22] Taikobo
    We may be close to figuring
    out where the enemy is.
[14:25] Supushan
    Well, if you say so... All right!
[14:32] Supushan
    My best game is go!
[14:34] Supushan
    I said go!
[14:36] Sontenkun
    Okay, kuzushi shogi it is.
[14:38] Sontenkun
    We'll use rock-paper-scissors
    to decide who goes first.
[14:42] Supushan
    R-Roger!
[14:44] Sontenkun
    Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
[14:47] Sontenkun
    Yay! I win!
[14:49] Supushan
    Darn it! Darn it all!
[14:57] Sontenkun
    Now, that just leaves the difficult ones.
[15:01] Sontenkun
    I'll start over here.
[15:04] Sontenkun
    Here I go.
[15:05] Sontenkun
    Slowly, slowly...
[15:10] Supushan
    All right! Now it's my turn!
[15:14] Sontenkun
    Rats.
[15:15] Supushan
    Hup... and... one more...
[15:21] Sontenkun
    You're pretty good.
[15:25] Supushan
    I've never played kuzushi shogi before,
[15:27] Supushan
    but it's actually pretty easy!
[15:30] Supushan
    Now to finish this in one big move!
[15:40] Sontenkun
    Yay! Thanks for breaking up the pile for me!
[15:45] Sontenkun
    I've got more than half the pieces! You lose!
[15:55] Taikobo
    Supu!
[15:56] Sontenkun
    Snicker, snicker, snicker...
[15:57] Sontenkun
    I forgot to mention this,
    but if you lose to me in a game,
[16:01] Sontenkun
    your penalty is being turned into a toy.
[16:04] Sontenkun
    Now, come play with me!
[16:06] ---
    If you win, I'll turn him back!
[16:10] Taikobo
    I'll play.
[16:12] Sontenkun
    You, Taikobo?
[16:14] Taikobo
    I have a bit of interest
    in games of this sort.
[16:19] Taikobo
    So, what shall we play?
[16:21] Sontenkun
    Then... let's play concentration.
[16:25] Taikobo
    Concentration, eh? Very well.
[16:28] Sontenkun
    Yay!
[16:31] Gyokutei
    You said you were on the verge
    of locating the enemy earlier...
[16:34] Taikobo
    Shh. Keep your voice down.
[16:37] Taikobo
    The enemy is hidden among
    the toys in this room.
[16:40] Taikobo
    He probably looks somewhat
    like a toy himself.
[16:45] Taikobo
    He was trying to distract us
    with that explosion earlier.
[16:50] Taikobo
    Why would he try to stop us
    by making us look away?
[16:55] Taikobo
    Most likely because he
    felt he was in danger.
[16:59] Taikobo
    Just leave this to me.
[17:03] Sontenkun
    Ta-dah! I found the cards!
[17:06] Sontenkun
    I'll lay them out now!
[17:08] Taikobo
    Hold it! I'll lay out the cards.
[17:13] Taikobo
    I can't have you cheating, after all.
[17:16] Sontenkun
    I wouldn't cheat! Don't be so rude to a toy!
[17:22] Taikobo
    In that case...
[17:23] Taikobo
    Behold the card-dealing skills
    of Taikobo the Magician!
[17:27] Sontenkun
    Yay! Sounds fake!
[17:30] Taikobo
    Chi!
[17:34] Sontenun
    Yay!
[17:49] Taikobo
    That'll do it.
[17:50] Sontenkun
    Amazing! Amazing! Super respect!
[17:54] Taikobo
    Now, to see who goes first...
    Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!
[18:00] Taikobo
    Looks like I'm first.
[18:01] Sontenkun
    Rats... Rats!
[18:04] Taikobo
    This... and this!
[18:08] Gyokutei
    Wow, you got a pair.
[18:10] Gyokutei
    That's impressive. How'd you do it?
[18:14] Taikobo
    Nothing is impossible for Mister Taikobo!
[18:17] Taikobo
    Joking aside, though...
[18:20] Taikobo
    I looked at all the card faces while I was
    dealing and memorized their positions.
[18:25] Gyokutei
    What?
[18:26] Taikobo
    It's a skill made possible by my supreme
    powers of dynamic vision and memorization!
[18:33] Gyokutei
    That's a pretty underhanded cheat,
    but it's impressive in its own way...
[18:37] Taikobo
    This and this! This and this!
[18:39] Taikobo
    This! This! This!
[18:43] Taikobo
    Concentration is so much fun!
[18:46] Taikobo
    I'm so delighted, there are
    flowers blooming behind me!
[18:52] Sontenkun
    That cheat is so great, it's a
    remarkable talent in its own way.
[18:55] Sontenkun
    Of course, it was my own fault
    for giving you the cards...
[19:01] Sontenkun
    But you know what? Memory is a surprisingly
    vague and uncertain thing.
[19:06] Sontenkun
    Sometimes it betrays people.
[19:09] Taikobo
    Oh, please! You're just a sore loser—
[19:13] Taikobo
    What?
[19:14] Taikobo
    I missed? It can't be!
[19:15] Sontenkun
    Lucky me! Now it's my turn!
[19:19] Sontenkun
    A-hup. Three of clubs.
[19:23] Taikobo
    Yes, that is indeed the three of clubs...
[19:23] Sontenkun
    Which one should I pick next?
[19:27] Sontenkun
    This one!
[19:31] Sontenkun
    Next is this one...
[19:33] Sontenkun
    and this one.
[19:34] Sontenkun
    Yay! I got another pair!
[19:37] Taikobo
    How did you...
[19:41] Sontenkun
    Why are you acting so shocked?
[19:45] Sontenkun
    This is my room, remember?
[19:47] Sontenkun
    Things happen here according to my will.
[19:50] Sontenkun
    That's how the Juttenkun's Juzetsujin works.
[19:54] Sontenkun
    I can even do... something like this!
[20:01] Gyokutei
    What? He made all the cards the same!
[20:04] Taikobo
    I get it.
[20:06] Taikobo
    Within Sontenkun's paopei, Kaketsujin,
    the loser is turned into a toy.
[20:12] Taikobo
    But its master never loses.
[20:16] Taikobo
    The space paopei, Juzetsujin...
    They use space.
[20:20] Taikobo
    That is the power of the Juttenkun.
[20:24] Taikobo
    In other words, he's been challenging
    us to games we can never win.
[20:31] Sontenkun
    Took you long enough to figure it out!
[20:33] Sontenkun
    I already have 26 cards,
    which is half the deck,
[20:36] Sontenkun
    so I only need one more pair to win.
[20:39] Sontenkun
    You're going to turn into a toy!
[20:43] Taikobo
    Gyokutei...
[20:47] Taikobo
    I leave the rest in your hands.
[20:51] Gyokutei
    Don't worry.
[20:59] Gyokutei
    Taikobo...
[23:12] Yozen
    Master...
