SIGN    Yin and Yang
[01:47] Gantetsusai
    I thought I'd found a moving rag,
    but you're that shinobi.
[01:52] Gantetsusai
    You're looking ragged.
    Is it time for you to die?
[02:02] Gantetsusai
    Oh?
[02:03] Gantetsusai
    Didn't think you could trade blows
    with me in your current state.
[02:07] Gantetsusai
    You truly are exceptional.
[02:10] Gabimaru
    It'll be difficult to defeat him
    without suffering any injuries.
[02:12] Gantetsusai
    You're more exhausted than you realize.
[02:15] Gantetsusai
    Your movements are slow.
[02:17] Gabimaru
    Your center of gravity on your left side...
[02:20] Gabimaru
    I can tell by your posture
    that you're not used to protecting it.
[02:24] Gabimaru
    Your left arm's too badly
    injured to use, isn't it?
[02:41] Fuchi
    Okay, okay. No more.
[02:44] Fuchi
    Let's not waste time
    on pointless shows of force.
[02:46] Gantetsusai
    It's not pointless.
[02:48] Gantetsusai
    All fights begin with an assessment
    of each other's preliminary movements.
[02:50] Fuchi
    It's pointless.
[02:52] Fuchi
    First of all, it's unscientific.
    Second of all, this isn't the time for that.
[02:54] Fuchi
    It's meaningless.
[02:56] Fuchi
    What we should be doing right now
    is gathering information.
[03:00] Fuchi
    What has he experienced so far?
    Where is the Asaemon assigned to him?
[03:03] Fuchi
    Who is that girl over there?
[03:08] Fuchi
    If you kill each other, we won't be
    able to acquire any useful information.
[03:11] Fuchi
    So...
[03:14] Fuchi
    We'll take the information without killing.
[03:18] Fuchi
    I know how to do
    that without killing anyone.
[03:23] Fuchi
    Oh?
[03:24] Fuchi
    You intend to fight against the both of us?
[03:27] Gabimaru
    Is now the time to move? But...
[03:30] Gabimaru
    These two are undoubtedly strong.
[03:36] Gabimaru
    I'll have to change my tactics.
[03:43] Gabimaru
    After all, I'm not Gabimaru
    the Hollow anymore.
[03:47] Gantetsusai
    What do you think you're doing?
[03:48] Gabimaru
    Given your strength, I have a suggestion.
[03:51] Gabimaru
    Why don't we work together?
[04:03] Gantetsusai
    You didn't move.
[04:05] Gantetsusai
    So you're not trying to fool us.
[04:08] Gantetsusai
    But I'm disappointed.
[04:10] Gantetsusai
    I seek strong warriors,
[04:13] Gantetsusai
    not cowards who easily bow
    their heads to their enemies.
[04:16] Fuchi
    Your thinking is simplistic.
[04:19] Fuchi
    I'd like to know why
    you're willing to do this.
[04:26] Gantetsusai
    What?
[04:27] Gantetsusai
    What are those Tensen monsters?
[04:30] Gantetsusai
    I didn't run into anything
    so powerful! Why not?
[04:34] Gabimaru
    I don't know.
[04:35] Fuchi
    They can regenerate?
[04:37] Fuchi
    Breaking their necks
    and burning them doesn't kill them?
[04:39] Fuchi
    What about their organs?
    What were they like?
[04:41] Gabimaru
    I don't know.
[04:42] Gabimaru
    I don't know any specifics.
[04:44] Gabimaru
    I just want to earn
    a pardon so I can see someone.
[04:47] Gabimaru
    I'll do anything to achieve that.
[04:50] Gabimaru
    Please help me.
[04:52] Fuchi
    But what proof do you have
    that any of that is true?
[04:56] Gantetsusai
    All right, I'm in!
[04:58] Gantetsusai
    If we can get to Horai and meet these Tensen,
    then it's two birds with one stone.
[05:02] Gantetsusai
    We just happened to be lost, too.
[05:04] Fuchi
    You're not wrong,
    but isn't he our competition?
[05:08] Gantetsusai
    It's fine.
[05:09] Gantetsusai
    After all, I'm not really
    interested in the pardon.
[05:13] Fuchi
    I thought you wanted to
    improve your sword skills.
[05:16] Gantetsusai
    That's just my method.
[05:17] Gantetsusai
    I want to become immortal.
[05:22] Fuchi
    Don't tell me you intend to consume
    the Elixir of Life yourself.
[05:27] Gantetsusai
    No.
[05:28] Gantetsusai
    Being literally immortal would be boring.
[05:32] Gantetsusai
    I'll achieve something grand that
    will be talked about throughout the land.
[05:35] Gantetsusai
    My name will be spoken endlessly across
    generations, and I'll become a legend.
[05:39] Gantetsusai
    The name Tamiya Gantetsusai will
    never grow old and never die.
[05:44] Gantetsusai
    This appearance and these words will survive
    as pictures and words in the distant future.
[05:52] Gantetsusai
    That's what it means to be truly immortal.
[05:56] Fuchi
    What a truly preposterous goal.
[05:59] Gantetsusai
    Whatever you say. I'm serious about it.
[06:02] Gantetsusai
    So, what will you do, Whatever-emon?
[06:05] Gantetsusai
    I've made my decision.
[06:07] Fuchi
    It's "Asaemon."
[06:09] Fuchi
    I'm not interested in your bombastic goals,
[06:12] Fuchi
    but I am very interested in immortal beings.
[06:18] Gantetsusai
    Allow me to defeat the Tensen.
[06:21] Fuchi
    Allow me to dissect them
    once you've killed them.
[06:25] Gabimaru
    Then we have a deal.
[06:28] Fuchi
    If you could provide us
    with additional information...
[06:31] Gabimaru
    First, concerning this girl...
[06:36] Fuchi
    What's so surprising?
[06:39] Gabimaru
    She was a young girl until a moment ago,
[06:42] Gabimaru
    but she's grown.
[06:44] Gantetsusai
    Don't worry about that.
[06:46] Gantetsusai
    It's one of the mysteries
    of female development.
[06:48] Gabimaru
    That's not the issue here.
[06:50] Mei
    Ga... Gabimaru.
[06:54] Gabimaru
    You can talk now?
[06:58] Gabimaru
    Who are you?
[07:00] Gabimaru
    No, more importantly,
    tell me what you know about the Elixir.
[07:06] Gabimaru
    Sorry.
[07:12] Gabimaru
    Thank you for saving me.
[07:16] Gabimaru
    If you can speak, I'd like you to tell me.
[07:18] Gabimaru
    That mysterious power...
[07:20] Gabimaru
    Are you like the Tensen?
[07:26] Senta
    No matter how you look at it, it's strange.
[07:29] Sagiri
    Senta-dono?
[07:30] Senta
    You said the Tensen are gods
    who screen people's souls in Horai, correct?
[07:36] Hoko
    Yes.
[07:37] Senta
    After listening to you, I'm certain of it.
[07:41] Senta
    It's simply not possible
    for this place to be the real Shinsenkyo.
[07:46] Senta
    It's clearly a man-made religious system.
[07:49] Yuzuriha
    What do you mean?
[07:50] Senta
    The terms "Horai," "Eishu,"
[07:53] Senta
    and the Tensen's names are all originally
    terms used by different religions.
[07:58] Yuzuriha
    It's a mysterious island.
    Who cares if they're all mixed up?
[08:03] Senta
    That's the problem.
[08:05] Senta
    All the mixed-up elements come
    from culturally specific interpretations.
[08:10] Yuzuriha
    Okay?
[08:11] Yuzuriha
    He's in the zone now.
[08:11] Senta
    Which means they were preceded
    by human religious views.
[08:16] Senta
    The elements are combined crudely, too.
[08:19] Senta
    Specific eras and cultures
    are combined in a superficial way.
[08:23] Senta
    I recognize this type of distortion.
[08:26] Yuzuriha
    Uh, wh-what?
[08:27] Senta
    It's Moro Makiya.
[08:29] Senta
    He was the founder of a new religion
    plotting to overthrow the shogunate.
[08:33] Senta
    The religion he founded was like this place.
[08:35] Senta
    There was a certain distortion created
    by his patchwork of various religions.
[08:39] Senta
    That's why I previously felt
    this place was defective.
[08:43] Senta
    It's not just the faith, but the monsters
    and configuration of the island as well.
[08:48] Senta
    This island most likely has a creator.
[08:51] Senta
    This is just a theory, but it's not
    that no one returns from this place.
[08:55] Senta
    From the start, the intention was that only
[08:58] Senta
    humans who'd transformed
    into flowers would return.
[09:01] Senta
    However—no, precisely because of that—
[09:04] Senta
    if someone's deliberate
    intention is behind this,
[09:06] Senta
    then it could also be our clue
    to understanding this place.
[09:08] Senta
    We should be able to find both
    the Elixir and a way to escape.
[09:15] Senta
    I-I'm s-s-sorry. I rambled on.
[09:17] Yuruziha
    Don't worry about it.
[09:20] Sagiri
    You're truly knowledgeable, Senta-dono.
[09:22] Sagiri
    You enjoy this kind of thing, don't you?
[09:24] Senta
    I w-wouldn't say I enjoy it, exactly...
[09:27] Sagiri
    You've very dependable as long
    as you're not keeping watch.
[09:30] Yuzuriha
    If your theory's correct,
    then we have a problem.
[09:34] Yuzuriha
    That intention has continued on
    for over a thousand years.
[09:36] Yuzuriha
    Are we capable of beating it?
[09:39] Yuzuriha
    It's possible Gabimaru
    and the girl are already dead.
[09:46] Sagiri
    No, I'm sure he's alive.
[09:48] Sagiri
    And he hasn't given up.
[09:51] Sagiri
    He's somewhere on this island formulating
    a plan and carrying it out
[09:54] Sagiri
    in order to see his beloved.
[09:57] Sagiri
    That's the kind of man Gabimaru is.
[10:01] Gabimaru
    If you know the Tensen's secrets
    and how to defeat them,
[10:06] Gabimaru
    please tell me.
[10:13] Gabimaru
    If there's some power
    that can be used to fight the Tensen,
[10:17] Gabimaru
    then I'd like you to tell me what it is.
[10:21] Mei
    Tao.
[10:22] Gabimaru
    Tao?
[10:23] Gabimaru
    Is that what the power is called?
[10:28] Mei
    Tao. Strong, weak.
[10:31] Mei
    Mind, body. Strong, weak.
[10:36] Mei
    Tanden, turn.
[10:39] Mei
    Strong, weak.
[10:43] Mei
    Scary?
[10:46] Mei
    Tao. Strong, weak.
[10:47] Gabimaru
    I don't understand.
[10:49] Gantetsusai
    Maybe by "tanden," she means what
    the navel is called in martial arts.
[10:53] Fuchi
    To be precise, it's just below the navel.
[10:56] Fuchi
    It's what they call
    the meridian in Chinese medicine.
[10:59] Gabimaru
    So, what exactly is tao?
[11:02] Fuchi
    No idea.
[11:05] Hoko
    Tao is the power
    that flows through all things.
[11:08] Yuzuriha
    "The power that flows through all things?"
[11:11] Sagiri
    And the Tensen control that?
[11:14] Hoko
    Yes.
[11:15] Hoko
    Everything in this world
    is created by the flow of tao.
[11:19] Hoko
    To touch tao is to touch
    the origin of the universe.
[11:23] Yuzuriha
    I don't get it.
[11:25] Sagiri
    After all, it's rooted in a specific belief.
[11:28] Senta
    It seems difficult to describe in
    a way that we'd understand.
[11:33] Yuruziha
    Aw, man.
[11:35] Yuruziha
    Isn't there a hot teacher who's good
    at explaining things around here?
[11:58] Shion
    Do that all you want.
    I still won't train you to use a sword.
[12:03] Nurugai
    Please, Master. Teach me to use a sword.
[12:08] Nurugai
    Didn't you swear that we'd avenge Tenza?
[12:15] Shion
    You can't.
[12:18] Shion
    I don't want to see any more
    young lives end before my eyes.
[12:22] Shion
    I'm the only one who needs to fight.
[12:25] Shion
    I'll avenge him, but I won't wait
    for your skills to improve.
[12:29] Nurugai
    I want to fight too, Master.
[12:32] Shion
    As I told you before, I am not your master.
[12:35] Shion
    I haven't taught you anything.
[12:37] Nurugai
    Well, I'm gonna call you that.
[12:39] Nurugai
    You're no ordinary man.
[12:42] Nurugai
    I attacked you from behind just now.
[12:44] Nurugai
    Instincts alone don't explain that.
[12:49] Nurugai
    Please.
[12:50] Nurugai
    Please teach me.
[12:53] Nurugai
    I don't want to see any more
    people I love die before my eyes.
[13:00] Nurugai
    I can't take it.
[13:05] Nurugai
    Please be my master.
[13:10] Shion
    This feeling can't be taught overnight.
[13:15] Shion
    It's too difficult.
[13:17] Shion
    Everything in this world
    produces a unique wave.
[13:22] Nurugai
    A wave?
[13:23] Shion
    Yes.
[13:24] Shion
    They're waves flowing around our bodies.
[13:27] Shion
    I can sense those.
[13:30] Shion
    Because of that, I know your height,
    weight, and that your hair is tied up.
[13:35] Nurugai
    Are you for real?
[13:37] Shion
    Of course.
[13:38] Shion
    Using the waves improves
    not only one's senses,
[13:42] Shion
    but their physical capabilities as well.
[13:44] Hoko
    Mastering the use of tao grants
    one godlike strength and body.
[13:49] Shion
    You must order your thoughts
    in order to sense them.
[13:52] Shion
    Neither too fierce nor too quiet.
[13:56] Mei
    Tao, mind. Strong, weak.
[14:00] Hoko
    Stillness and motion, yin and yang.
[14:03] Hoko
    That cycle, that flow, is the key
    to drawing out the power of tao.
[14:09] Shion
    Between rage and calmness,
    or else both simultaneously.
[14:13] Shion
    You must achieve that state of mind.
[14:17] Shion
    That will make it easier
    to detect the waves.
[14:20] Shion
    In Buddhism, it's known as the middle way.
[14:23] Shion
    That state of mind allows one
    to exceed their normal capabilities.
[14:27] Hoko
    For example,
[14:29] Hoko
    it allows people to withstand
    greater strength than their own
[14:32] Hoko
    or survive what should be fatal injuries.
[14:36] Shion
    The skill cannot be acquired
     immediately, however.
[14:39] Shion
    In the first place,
    there is much I don't know.
[14:42] Nurugai
    Then at least teach me to use a sword—
[14:43] Shion
    You have more fundamental
    problems than that.
[14:45] Shion
    The way you wield a blade is all wrong.
[14:47] Nurugai
    What?
[14:48] Nurugai
    Then how am I supposed to do it?
[14:54] Shion
    First, keep your left
    hand on your center line.
[14:57] Shion
    Your right shoulder and left foot
    should face the same direction.
[15:00] Shion
    You should only grip it tightly
    in the moment you attack.
[15:03] Shion
    The rest of the time, grip it loosely.
[15:06] Shion
    Don't swing your left arm wildly.
    Be aware of its position.
[15:07] Nurugai
    Huh? Is he teaching me everything?
[15:10] Nurugai
    Is he an idiot, or is this on purpose?
[15:14] Soshin
    Killing is wrong.
[15:17] Soshin
    All life is precious.
[15:20] Nurugai
    Master!
[15:25] Shion
    The speed of your sword
    is important as well.
[15:27] Shion
    If you keep it free of oils,
    the blade will last longer.
[15:33] Shion
    Everything in this world
    produces a unique wave.
[15:37] Shion
    I can sense those.
[15:45] Shion
    Don't rely on brute force.
    Use the weight of the sword.
[15:49] Shion
    You won't get tired as easily.
[15:50] Shion
    Only turn your hips at the last moment.
[15:53] Shion
    Keep your knees low and chest high.
[15:59] Shion
    I cannot be your master. I have a job to do.
[16:05] Shion
    But you're free to study
    and learn on your own.
[16:10] Nurugai
    Yes, Master.
[16:12] Shion
    But it's a fact that we don't stand
    a chance against those monsters.
[16:16] Shion
    I'll need to hone my skills.
[16:18] Shion
    But on this island,
    I don't have that kind of time.
[16:22] Gabimaru
    Unbelievable.
[16:24] Gabimaru
    We can't even have a nice long chat.
[16:29] Gantetsusai
    Supposing tao is the way to kill the Tensen,
[16:33] Gantetsusai
    it's not like we can take
    our time learning about it.
[16:37] Gantetsusai
    The best way to learn to fight
    is in the middle of a battle.
[16:40] Gantetsusai
    And fortunately, we've got plenty
    of monsters to practice with.
[16:46] Gantetsusai
    Now teach me the power of tao, miss.
[16:51] Fuchi
    What a fiery old man.
[16:58] Gabimaru
    Who... is that?
[17:03] Mu Dan (M)
    If you throw humans into the pit,
    they'll eventually merge with the flowers.
[17:09] Tao Fa (F)
    You made something amazing, Mu Dan.
[17:12] Tao Fa (F)
    Now we'll be able to
    harvest tan more efficiently.
[17:16] Mu Dan (M)
    Don't kill the humans
    you throw into the pit.
[17:20] Tao Fa (F)
    What happens if they try to get out?
[17:23] Mu Dan (M)
    Once they're weakened,
    it's too deep for humans to climb out.
[17:27] Mu Dan (M)
    Besides, the walls will block their escape.
[17:31] Mu Dan (M)
    They want everyone
    to join them on their side.
[17:36] Mu Dan (M)
    They grab on and don't let go.
[18:08] Toma
    We won't be able to overwhelm them by force.
[18:11] Toma
    We need to assess the situation.
[18:14] Toma
    B-Brother?
[18:15] Chobe
    We're gonna kill those shitheads, Toma.
[18:20] Toma
    No, we should leave the island
    immediately and tend our—
[18:23] Chobe
    We're killing those shitheads, Toma.
[18:25] Toma
    But—
[18:26] Chobe
    We're killing those shitheads, Toma.
[18:29] Toma
    Okay.
[18:31] Toma
    Then let's come up with a plan of attack.
[18:33] Chobe
    We don't need a plan.
[18:35] Tome
    But how...
[18:37] Chobe
    Their weakness is their lower body.
[18:42] Chobe
    When I chopped its body in two,
[18:45] Chobe
    that monster started regenerating
    from its lower body,
[18:48] Chobe
    not the half with its head and heart.
[18:51] Chobe
    Which means its weakness
    is the groin or navel.
[18:55] Chobe
    It was kind of plant-like,
[18:57] Chobe
    so it makes sense that its weakness is the
    bottom half with the roots and not its top.
[19:01] Toma
    I'm impressed, Brother.
[19:03] Toma
    That's what you call assessing a situation
    and coming up with a plan.
[19:06] Chobe
    What?
[19:07] Toma
    Nothing. I'm just taking that in.
[19:10] Chobe
    Taking in what? Oh, right...
[19:17] Chobe
    You finally feel like
    eating monster flesh, too?
[19:21] Toma
    No. Wait, that's not a monster—
[19:23] Chobe
    Just eat.
[19:25] Chobe
    You won't last long unless
    you build up your strength.
[19:27] Toma
    Brother!
[19:28] Doshi B
    Ah, you're alive.
[19:34] Doshi B
    Forgive me for not
    announcing my presence first.
[19:38] Doshi B
    Don't be afraid.
[19:42] Toma
    Who are you?
[19:43] Chobe
    Doesn't matter.
[19:44] Chobe
    You're a monster. We'll kill it.
[19:47] Doshi B
    Oh, no. I'm capable of reason.
[19:51] Doshi B
    Let's talk.
[19:53] Doshi B
    I simply came to investigate
    on orders from the Tensen.
[19:58] Chobe
    The Tensen?
[20:00] Chobe
    You mean those things
    that are neither man nor woman?
[20:03] Doshi B
    Indeed. They are our masters.
[20:06] Doshi B
    My colleagues have gone to scout out
    the other humans who arrived on the island.
[20:14] Doshi B
    The other doshi.
[20:17] Chobe
    Doshi? That monster mentioned Soshin...
[20:21] Doshi B
    That's a misunderstanding.
[20:23] Doshi B
    The Soshin lack intellect.
    They are defective.
[20:26] Doshi B
    They are scum not even
    permitted to enter Horai.
[20:30] Doshi B
    The doshi serve the Tensen directly.
    We are their right hand.
[20:35] Doshi B
    Within the palace we study under the Tensen
[20:37] Doshi B
    while looking after them
    and handling troublesome tasks.
[20:41] Doshi B
    That is our responsibility.
[20:43] Chobe
    Horai... Palace...
[20:46] Doshi B
    So, please.
[20:48] Doshi B
    Go back into the hole
    and allow yourselves to become tan.
[20:55] Doshi B
    Barbarous.
[20:57] Toma
    Brother.
[21:03] Doshi B
    How is he so strong?
[21:09] Doshi B
    You're superhuman. Did you consume the tao?
[21:12] Chobe
    Shut up.
[21:13] Chobe
    If you work for those Tensen,
[21:17] Chobe
    then beating you is
    the shortest route to them.
[21:22] Chobe
    How convenient.
[21:25] Chobe
    I'll force answers out of you.
[21:28] Doshi B
    Very well.
[21:29] Doshi B
    If you don't seek a peaceful resolution,
[21:32] Doshi B
    then I am prepared
    to handle you accordingly.
[21:35] Doshi B
    You deeply sinful and foolish human.
[21:39] Doshi B
    You'll realize you would have been happier
    if you'd just allowed yourself to become tan.
[21:44] Toma
    Brother—
[21:44] Chobe
    Toma.
[21:46] Chobe
    Kill the nobodies.
[21:48] Chobe
    I'm counting on you.
[21:51] Toma
    Got it.
[21:57] Toma
    You focus on him.
[22:00] Doshi B
    This man is strong.
[22:02] Doshi B
    But he is exhausted.
[22:05] Doshi B
    One look at the flow
    of his tao, and it's obvious.
[22:15] Doshi B
    He moves well despite
    his injuries. It's astounding.
[22:19] Doshi B
    But it's pointless.
[22:20] Doshi B
    Attacks from one
    who cannot use tao are trivial.
[22:24] Doshi B
    He has predisposition
    for it, but that's all.
[22:27] Doshi B
    Attacks weak in tao
    aren't merely ineffective.
[22:29] Doshi B
    I can regenerate from them instantly.
[22:35] Doshi B
    He is astounding, but...
[22:38] Doshi B
    The disturbance in his tao reflects
    a blind spot in his awareness.
[22:41] Doshi B
    It is an opening.
[22:51] Toma
    Brother!
