[00:26] Mu Dan (M)
    I'm impressed.
[00:28] Mu Dan (M)
    I think you're the first humans
    to reach this place.
[00:31] Mu Dan (M)
    The first in a thousand years.
[00:33] Senta
    What? Who—
[00:34] Sagiri
    A human?
[00:35] Yuzuriha
    Definitely not. This is bad.
[00:40] Mu Dan (M)
    Whoops.
[00:42] Mu Dan (M)
    You don't have to run.
[00:44] Mu Dan (M)
    I don't intend to kill you... yet.
[00:48] Yuzuriha
    He's so strong.
[00:49] Senta
    When did he get there?
[00:51] Sagiri
    I understand why she fled.
[00:53] Sagiri
    He's clearly stronger than any
    of the monsters we've faced so far.
[01:01] Saigri
    L-Let go of her.
[01:03] Yuzuriha
    Sagirin...
[01:05] Mu Dan (M)
    Don't glare at me. I just want to talk.
[01:10] Sagiri
    Who are you?
[01:11] Hoko
    A Tensen.
[01:14] Hoko
    This is the peony spirit,
    Jiujun Amoghavajra.
[02:51] Sagiri
    He's one of those...?
[02:53] Senta
    Hoko-san, you're alive?
SIGN    Umbrella and Ink
[02:57] Mu Dan (M)
    That's not enough to kill him.
[02:59] Mu Dan (M)
    It'll simply accelerate his transformation,
    turning him completely into a tree.
[03:03] Sagiri
    But...
[03:04] Hoko
    It is a shame, but this is my fate.
[03:07] Hoko
    I pray my soul is
    at least invited into Horai.
[03:11] Mu Dan (M)
    Yeah, all that stuff about souls
    and Jiujun Whatever is a lie.
[03:18] Hoko
    What?
[03:19] Mu Dan (M)
    It's a convenient lie invented by our master
    to maintain order on the island.
[03:24] Mu Dan (M)
    This island is a place
    for conducting experiments on life.
[03:27] Mu Dan (M)
    You and all the others are simply
    prototypes produced as part of experiments.
[03:32] Hoko
    But...
[03:34] Mu Dan (M)
    And the humans who come
    to this island are research materials.
[03:40] Mu Dan (M)
    These are Kyoshi. I made them using humans.
[03:44] Sagiri
    Made them... using humans?
[03:46] Mu Dan (M)
    Yes.
[03:48] Mu Dan (M)
    They were originally humans
    who came to the island.
[03:50] Mu Dan (M)
    I love toying with humans,
[03:52] Mu Dan (M)
    so I always end up playing
    with them like this.
[03:54] Mu Dan (M)
    Funny, right?
[03:57] Mu Dan (M)
    But this isn't how we typically use humans.
[04:01] Mu Dan (M)
    High-quality humans are turned into tan.
[04:03] Senta
    Tan... You mean the Elixir of Life?
[04:06] Mu Dan (M)
    Elixir of Life?
[04:08] Mu Dan (M)
    All the humans who come here
    always say the same thing.
[04:12] Mu Dan (M)
    The Elixir of Eternal Life and Youth,
[04:14] Mu Dan (M)
    Ochimizu, Tokijiku-no-kagu-no-mi...
[04:18] Mu Dan (M)
    Sorry, but there's nothing like that here.
[04:23] Mu Dan (M)
    Tan is essential to us,
[04:26] Mu Dan (M)
    but if an ordinary human consumes it,
    they turn into a tree.
[04:29] Mu Dan (M)
    Hoko and the flower people have sort of
    achieved eternal life, but not eternal youth.
[04:33] Mu Dan (M)
    My associates are researching that,
    but they're not done yet.
[04:37] Mu Dan (M)
    Either way, the item you're looking
    for isn't on this island.
[04:41] Sagiri
    There's no Elixir?
[04:44] Sagiri
    Then what's going to happen to him?
[04:47] Sagiri
    He won't receive a pardon
    without the Elixir.
[04:51] Mu Dan (M)
    Anyway, your journey has come to an end.
[04:54] Mu Dan (M)
    Now be good and come with me.
[04:57] Mu Dan (M)
    There are a bunch of things
    I'd like to do with you.
[05:01] Yuzuriha
    Ninpo: Substitution.
[05:11] Yuzuriha
    That should be enough to kill any monster.
[05:14] Yuzuriha
    That just leaves his underlings?
    But they seem out of it.
[05:19] Yuzuriha
    Let's get out of here while we can.
[05:21] Yuzuriha
    Sagirin.
[05:22] Sagiri
    What? Oh, right.
[05:27] Yuzuriha
    Thanks for helping me earlier,
     even though I ran.
[05:31] Yuzuriha
    Are you shocked to learn about the Elixir?
[05:34] Yuzuriha
    I get it.
[05:36] Yuzuriha
    But our top priority is our survival.
[05:40] Yuzuriha
    As long as we're alive,
    we'll manage somehow.
[05:43] Yuzuriha
    First, we need to make sure we stay alive.
[05:45] Yuzuriha
    Switch gears. It's time to run.
[05:48] Sagiri
    Right.
[05:51] Yuzuriha
    You too, Senta. Hurry.
[05:53] Senta
    Right.
[05:54] Mu Dan (M)
    Such a nice woman. You've got potential.
[05:58] Mu Dan (M)
    You were wrong about one thing, though.
[06:01] Mu Dan (M)
    The Kyoshi aren't my underlings.
[06:08] Mu Dan (M)
    They're my toys. Funny, right?
[06:13] Mu Dan (M)
    You dodged it. You've got a good eye.
[06:16] Mu Dan (M)
    Rather, you can see tao, can't you?
[06:19] Yuzuriha
    That's the first time
    I've heard the word tao.
[06:22] Yuzuriha
    In my village, we called it qi.
[06:25] Mu Dan (M)
    But you haven't mastered its use.
[06:28] Mu Dan (M)
    Allow me to teach—
[06:30] Senta
    Wait.
[06:32] Senta
    If this will decide her life or death,
    then you'll have to go through me first.
[06:36] Senta
    It's my job.
SIGN    Tameshi-itto-ryu Rank 5
    Yamada Asaemon
     Senta
[06:40] Mu Dan (M)
    The other two seem
    to have some aptitude for it,
[06:43] Mu Dan (M)
    but if that's all they're
    capable of, then forget it.
[06:45] Mu Dan (M)
    Shinobi, I'll teach you to use tao.
[06:49] Mu Dan (M)
    If you've got the talent for it,
    then I could show you bochu jutsu,
[06:52] Mu Dan (M)
    or turn you into high-quality tan.
[06:55] Senta
    You're already his favorite.
[06:58] Yuzuriha
    Shut up.
[06:59] Sagiri
    I can't believe Senta-dono drew his sword.
[07:02] Sagiri
    For a criminal, no less.
[07:05] Sagiri
    Does he perhaps have
    special feelings for her?
[07:10] Mu Dan (M)
    I'm not interested in anyone
    except the shinobi girl.
[07:12] Mu Dan (M)
    Get out of the way.
[07:18] Yuzuriha
    Sagirin!
[07:19] Mu Dan (M)
    Forget about her.
[07:21] Mu Dan (M)
    That was Distant Strike.
[07:23] Mu Dan (M)
    It's performed by gathering
    and launching one's tao.
[07:25] Mu Dan (M)
    Since ordinary humans can't learn to use it,
[07:27] Mu Dan (M)
    you can forget that one.
[07:29] Mu Dan (M)
    You need to start with the basic—
[07:33] Mu Dan (M)
    Huh?
[07:37] Mu Dan (M)
    Stay out of my way, fat boy.
[07:39] Senta
    I told you, you have to go through me.
[07:42] Senta
    Besides—
[07:43] Yuzuriha
    He's right. You're in the way.
[07:48] Yuzuriha
    If nothing can kill him,
    then I'm willing to try anything.
[07:54] Yuzuriha
    Ninpo: Slime String.
[07:57] Yuzuriha
    My ninjutsu allows me to metabolize
    the medicines I swallow and secrete them.
[08:01] Yuzuriha
    And this is soluble snake poison.
[08:05] Yuzuriha
    Ninpo: Nectar Prison.
[08:07] Yuzuriha
    And then...
[08:08] Yuzuriha
    Ninpo: Grim Garrote.
[08:16] Mu Dan (M)
    Your abilities are an
    application of tao, aren't they?
[08:19] Mu Dan (M)
    Metabolizing poisons
    alone makes you superhuman.
[08:23] Mu Dan (M)
    But you're not using it very specifically.
[08:26] Mu Dan (M)
    You should learn to manipulate it better.
[08:29] Senta
    If we can create the right opportunity,
    we can look for a way to beat him.
[08:33] Mu Dan (M)
    I see.
[08:34] Mu Dan (M)
    Sure.
[08:35] Mu Dan (M)
    Shall we try it right now?
[08:47] Yuzuriha
    Senta, you're in the way.
[08:48] Senta
    So are you, Yuzuriha-san.
[08:56] Mu Dan (M)
    Tao is a feeling.
[08:59] Mu Dan (M)
    By wearing it like clothing,
    you can sense it coming from any direction.
[09:04] Mu Dan (M)
    Unless you master it, you're merely human.
[09:07] Mu Dan (M)
    You're no match for us.
[09:10] Mu Dan (M)
    Welcome to Horai.
[09:15] Senta
    How can we beat this monster?
[09:21] Sagiri
    Hoko-san, do the Tensen have any weaknesses?
[09:25] Hoko
    He's a god.
[09:27] Hoko
    If this is divine punishment,
    then I will accept it.
[09:31] Sagiri
    I understand how you feel,
    but at this rate, we'll all be killed.
[09:36] Sagiri
    You won't get to see Mei-san again.
[09:40] Sagiri
    It can be anything. Any hint will do.
[09:44] Mu Dan (M)
    That substitution you used earlier
    was an application of tao as well.
[09:48] Mu Dan (M)
    Not only that, but the same type I use.
[09:50] Mu Dan (M)
    Interesting.
[09:51] Mu Dan (M)
    You can learn something resembling
    our Hojutsu through your own training.
[09:55] Mu Dan (M)
    Well, it's time to kill the fat boy.
[09:57] Mu Dan (M)
    Whoops.
[09:58] Mu Dan (M)
    You recovered quickly.
[10:00] Mu Dan (M)
    But you can't do anything.
[10:02] Mu Dan (M)
    You have an ordinary amount of tao.
[10:07] Senta
    Our opponent can read our
    movements and intentions.
[10:10] Sagiri
    Yes, but not an intentionless path.
[10:15] Hoko
    Now cut open his tanden.
[10:19] Hoko
    The legends say tao comes from our tanden,
[10:23] Hoko
    travels through the body,
    and returns to the tanden once more.
[10:27] Hoko
    If you sever his tanden...
[10:30] Mu Dan (M)
    Sorry, but there's nothing you can do.
[10:33] Mu Dan (M)
    First of all, you don't have enough tao.
[10:36] Mu Dan (M)
    No matter where you cut me,
    I'll just regenerate.
[10:39] Mu Dan (M)
    In fact, including the shinobi girl,
[10:41] Mu Dan (M)
    there isn't a human here who's
    mastered tao enough to kill me.
[10:49] Sagiri
    I realized something
    after getting close to you.
[10:52] Sagiri
    You're the same, after all.
[10:53] Mu Dan (M)
    What?
[11:04] Sagiri
    He can read my movements.
[11:07] Mu Dan (M)
    What was that?
[11:09] Mu Dan (M)
    The size of one's tao
    is controlled by one's mind.
[11:12] Mu Dan (M)
    Is she the type that
    instantaneously manifests hers?
[11:15] Mu Dan (M)
    But that's not what's important.
[11:17] Mu Dan (M)
    This woman... Could it be...?
[11:20] Senta
    Yuzuriha-san.
[11:21] Yuzuriha
    I know. That wound...
[11:24] Yuzuriha
    It's not regenerating.
[11:32] Sagiri
    I detected a unique aura
    when I approached him.
[11:37] Sagiri
    If that's tao, then I know how to cut it.
[11:41] Sagiri
    Sometimes Gabimaru produces the same aura.
[11:44] Sagiri
    So did Rokurota, the Giant of Bizen.
[11:49] Senta
    Did those two use tao?
[11:52] Sagiri
    It's just a guess.
[11:53] Yuzuriha
    Greater than a certain amount of tao
    is required to injure our enemy.
[11:58] Yuzuriha
    Sagirin can temporarily increase
    her tao using breathing techniques.
[12:02] Yuzuriha
    But that's not all.
[12:04] Yuzuriha
    Why can't the Tensen regenerate?
[12:09] Sagiri
    I'll handle this.
[12:11] Mu Dan (M)
    Such an unusual type of tao.
[12:14] Mu Dan (M)
    Not only that, but it's poison to me.
[12:18] Mu Dan (M)
    Marvelous.
[12:20] Mu Dan (M)
    I wonder what kind of tan you'll produce.
[12:22] Mu Dan (M)
    Or will you kill me?
[12:27] Senta
    Wait, Sagiri-san.
[12:30] Senta
    Our enemy is powerful.
[12:31] Senta
    The three of us should work together.
[12:36] Mu Dan (M)
    Hojutsu: Earth Yin Night Pilgrim.
[12:41] Sagiri
    He vanished.
[12:45] Yuzuriha
    He didn't vanish.
[12:46] Yuzuriha
    He diminished his tao as much
    as possible so we couldn't detect him.
[12:50] Yuzuriha
    It works the same way as my substitution.
[12:52] Yuzuriha
    Cut him now.
[12:54] Sagiri
    My mind must be both still and active.
[12:58] Mu Dan (M)
    Kyoshi, kill the shinobi woman.
[13:06] Yuzuriha
    Thanks, Senta.
[13:07] Senta
    We're working together, remember?
[13:14] Yuzuriha
    Nice teamwork. Thanks, Senta.
[13:17] Senta
    You're welcome.
[13:21] Mu Dan (M)
    I can read your swordsmanship,
[13:22] Mu Dan (M)
    and the moment's delay makes
    your attacks easy to dodge.
[13:25] Sagiri
    The way I'm breathing is exhausting.
[13:27] Sagiri
    I can't do it for long.
[13:33] Mu Dan (M)
    Your teamwork isn't bad.
[13:42] Sagiri
    Now's my chance.
[13:43] Mu Dan (M)
    You underestimate me.
[13:46] Sagiri
    He flew.
[13:49] Mu Dan (M)
    Hojutsu: Earth Yang Sky Pilgrim.
[13:52] Mu Dan (M)
    By manipulating the tao in the atmosphere,
[13:55] Mu Dan (M)
    one can even stand in the air.
[13:58] Mu Dan (M->F)
    Though to those who don't
    understand how it works...
[14:01] Mu Dan (F)
    I must seem like a god.
[14:04] Mu Dan (F)
    This is another application of tao.
[14:06] Mu Dan (F)
    Senjutsu: Tin Splinter.
[14:15] Senta
    This is beyond our abilities.
[14:18] Sagiri
    Senta-dono!
[14:24] Sagiri
    My vision is becoming blurry.
[14:26] Sagiri
    That breathing technique consumes
    something other than my stamina.
[14:30] Sagiri
    I can't keep going.
[14:32] Yuzuriha
    Don't give up yet, Sagirin.
[14:35] Yuzuriha
    I think this is a sign our
    enemy's getting anxious.
[14:38] Yuzuriha
    She's been making sure
    to dodge all your attacks specifically.
[14:41] Yuzuriha
    Tao probably has matchups,
    and yours is her weakness.
[14:47] Sagiri
    But that monster...
[14:49] Yuzuriha
    That's right. It's a monster, not a god.
[14:52] Yuzuriha
    Which means it can be killed.
[14:54] Yuzuriha
    I'll stop her from moving, so you kill her.
[14:57] Sagiri
    You're rather optimistic.
[15:00] Yuzuriha
    This is normal.
[15:01] Yuzuriha
    I don't intend to die here.
[15:04] Yuzuriha
    Seriously, no way.
[15:07] Mu Dan (F)
    This is pointless.
[15:11] Sagiri
    Yuzuriha!
[15:14] Mu Dan (F)
    You're not dodging it? You'll die.
[15:27] Yuzuriha
    Get down here, you wannabe god.
[15:31] Yuzuriha
    I'll kill everyone
    who interferes with my life.
[15:35] Yuzuriha
    I'd even kill a real god.
[15:39] Yuzuriha
    Sagirin, now.
[15:42] Sagiri
    Got it.
[15:46] Mu Dan (F->M)
    Such an obnoxious woman.
[15:49] Senta
    Impressive work, Yuzuriha-san.
[15:54] Senta
    Now you can't move,
    regardless of your regeneration.
[15:57] Mu Dan (M)
    Do you intend to be cut down with me?
[16:00] Senta
    Aim for a hair's breadth, Sagiri-san!
[16:03] Sagiri
    You can count on me.
[16:20] Yuzuriha
    He's not moving.
[16:22] Yuzuriha
    Like we thought,
    that must've been his weakness.
[16:25] Sagiri
    It was a gamble.
[16:27] Yuzuriha
    But the two of us won.
[16:29] Senta
    What about me?
[16:33] Sagiri
    Hoko-san, your transformation...
[16:36] Hoko
    I still seem to be all right.
[16:39] Sagiri
    Good.
[16:40] Senta
    I can't believe there are
    six more of these monsters.
[16:45] Sagiri
    Tao, the mysterious power.
[16:47] Sagiri
    It's even farther beyond human
    understanding than Hoko-san described.
[16:52] Sagiri
    What is this strange exhaustion?
[16:54] Sagiri
    Did we really defeat a Tensen so easily?
[16:58] Sagiri
    The biggest problem is
    that the Elixir doesn't exist.
[17:04] Sagiri
    What should we do now?
[17:07] Yuzuriha
    We'll just have to figure something out.
[17:09] Yuzuriha
    If it doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist.
[17:11] Yuzuriha
    We'll have to come up with another way.
[17:13] Yuzuriha
    Aw, man. My skin is so dry.
[17:16] Yuzuriha
    Hey, this is all gold.
[17:19] Yuzuriha
    This much should make up
    for the lack of Elixir, right?
[17:21] Senta
    Shall we rest a little?
[17:22] Yuzuriha
    What a weird face. Is this a nose?
[17:24] Sagiri
    Yes.
[17:29] Senta
    Yuzuriha-san is so tenacious.
[17:33] Sagiri
    Senta-dono, you seem
    to have special feelings for her.
[17:38] Senta
    What? Oh, no, I... um...
[17:42] Senta
    I suppose I envy how free she is.
[17:47] Senta
    It's a foreign concept to me.
[17:50] Sagiri
    What do you mean?
[17:54] Senta
    When I was young,
    I wanted to become an artist.
[17:58] Senta
    But in my family, boys study
    under the Yamada family.
[18:03] Senta
    I wasn't allowed to defy that tradition.
[18:07] Senta
    I actually didn't like the Yamada
    family or being a sword tester.
[18:11] Senta
    I hated killing people.
[18:15] Senta
    I spent a lot of time trying
    to rationalize killing people.
[18:19] Senta
    It's the reason I became so
    knowledgeable about religions.
[18:23] Senta
    Ironically, I was praised for being
    a diligent student, and my rank kept rising.
[18:28] Senta
    Eventually, I gave up
    and closed off my heart.
[18:32] Senta
    I began simply fulfilling my duties.
[18:36] Yuzuriha
    You don't actually care about
    this job or your clan, do you?
[18:41] Senta
    Actually, I—
[18:42] Yuzuriha
    You can try to hide it,
    but I can tell, you raccoon dog.
[18:45] Senta
    Since meeting her,
[18:47] Senta
    I've been confounded numerous times by her cold,
[18:50] Senta
    cruel behavior, and the way she seems
     to see right through everything.
[18:55] Senta
    But for some reason,
[18:57] Senta
    as someone who's been lying to himself,
    the way she only lies to others...
[19:05] Senta
    She seems so amazingly free.
[19:07] Senta
    I'm so jealous, it hurts.
[19:10] Senta
    I must've fallen for her ninjutsu.
[19:13] Senta
    I can hardly call myself an
    Asaemon when I admire a criminal.
[19:19] Sagiri
    Not at all.
[19:21] Sagiri
    I kind of...
[19:24] Sagiri
    It's really only a little,
    but I kind of understand how you feel.
[19:28] Sagiri
    Why don't we look for a way to
    save everyone who came to the island?
[19:36] Senta
    Sagiri-san...
[19:38] Senta
    Yes.
[19:44] Gabimaru
    I can sense tao now, but I don't
    feel like I've mastered its use.
[19:50] Fuchi
    We can't ask them about
    the Elixir if you kill them.
[19:55] Fuchi
    Though, judging by that conversation,
    she probably knows something.
[19:58] Gantetsusai
    It would be cruel
    to make her show us the way,
[20:01] Gantetsusai
    considering what those
    monsters wanted to do to her.
[20:08] Gabimaru
    But you followed me, didn't you?
[20:13] Gabimaru
    If you have some purpose or request,
    then tell me what it is.
[20:17] Gabimaru
    I'd like to thank you
    for saving me twice now.
[20:21] Fuchi
    Sagi's records said...
[20:23] (Flashback) Sagiri
    This man is not heartless after all.
[20:26] (Flashback) Sagiri
    But his humanity only becomes apparent
    when it comes to a particular person.
[20:32] Fuchi
    In all other scenarios, he is heartless.
[20:36] Fuchi
    But this is rather different
    from her records.
[20:39] Fuchi
    How will this soft side affect his job?
[20:45] Gantetsusai
    Hey.
[20:47] Gabimaru
    What is...
[20:51] Yuzuriha
    Hey.
[20:53] Yuzuriha
    Have there always been this many flowers?
[21:00] Sagiri
    Yuzuriha!
[21:21] Senta
    The fate of an imprudent,
    cruel, and sinful killer.
[21:30] Setna
    What I thought was common sense
    was blown away by a powerful wind.
[21:37] Senta
    I can't get any closer.
[21:39] Senta
    I don't need to be any closer
[21:42] Senta
    as long as I can keep watching by her side.
[21:50] Young Senta
    Huh? Am I allowed to draw right now?
[21:53] Young Senta
    I feel like I was in the
    middle of doing something else.
[21:58] Young Senta
    Well, whatever. I'll draw another one.
[22:03] Senta
    Whatever... One... more...
[22:27] Kishikai Mu Dan
    Kill me? Kill me.
[22:30] Sagiri
    Yuzuriha, what should we do?
[22:34] Yuzuriha
    We have to fight this
    monster again right now?
[22:39] Yuzuriha
    There's no way.
