[00:20] Kishikai Mu Dan (M > F)
    Kill me? Kill me.
[00:37] Sagiri
    Sh-Sh-Shion-dono—
[00:38] Shion
    Nurugai.
[00:39] Shion
    Cut their flowers and roots with your sword.
[00:41] Shion
    That may slow their transformation.
[00:44] Shion
    Then take the others and get away from here.
[00:46] Nurugai
    Got it.
[00:50] Sagiri
    Shion-dono.
[00:51] Shion
    We'll talk later. This will be over soon.
[00:54] Shion
    The movement, smell,
    and sound of these waves.
[00:59] Shion
    No doubt about it.
[01:00] Shion
    It's the same as the creature
    that killed Tenza.
[01:03] Shion
    On the way here, I took
    the lives of various creatures
[01:06] Shion
    to test the usage and nature of the waves.
[01:08] Shion
    Now I will use you to demonstrate
    how the immortal can be killed.
[01:14] Shion
    Cutting the waves directly will kill a
    creature, even if the vitals aren't struck,
[01:17] Shion
    as it is akin to cutting the soul itself.
[01:20] Shion
    I will release, circulate,
    and envelop myself in my own waves.
SIGN    Dreams and Reality
[03:09] Nurugai
    The flowers have stopped growing,
    but at this rate...
[03:14] Shion
    Hoko-san, what should we do?
[03:16] Hoko
    There is nothing I can do for him.
[03:19] Hoko
    I did not even know what
    the Tensen actually were.
[03:25] Yuzuriha
    Move, both of you.
[03:27] Yuzuriha
    It may be too late for him,
[03:28] Yuzuriha
    but I have a salve
    that will stop the bleeding.
[03:30] Senta
    Yuzuriha-san...
[03:34] Senta
    It's too late for me...
[03:38] Sagiri
    Shion-dono!
[03:39] Nurugai
    Don't worry about him.
[03:41] Nurugai
    He's really strong. Besides,
[03:43] Nurugai
    we followed a certain creature here.
[03:46] Nurugai
    He won't die here.
[03:50] Shion
    Tameshi Itto-ryu: Fiend's Flurry.
[03:55] Shion
    Tameshi Itto-ryu: Autumn Rains.
[04:23] Yuzuriha
    What's his deal? He's incredible.
[04:26] Nurugai
    He's my master.
[04:28] Sagiri
    It's not regenerating.
[04:30] Sagiri
    Shion's tao is compatible with the enemy's.
[04:34] Sagiri
    Perhaps...
[04:38] Shion
    It's mostly consistent with my tests.
[04:42] Kishikai Mu Dan (M)
    Incredible. Yours
    is opposed to mine as well.
[04:45] Kishikai Mu Dan (F)
    But...
[04:52] Kishikai Mu Dan (F)
    Even scratches will produce flowers.
[04:55] Kishikai Mu Dan (F)
    You'll make good tan.
[04:57] Nurugai
    Master!
[05:05] Kishikai Mu Dan (M)
    Do you want to die, too?
[05:11] Shion
    I don't intend to die here.
[05:14] Shion
    But if I can't progress without dying,
    then I accept death.
[05:18] Yuzuriha
    What's up with him? He's horrifying.
[05:21] Shion
    He's losing too much blood.
[05:23] Nurugai
    Master...
[05:25] Kishikai Mu Dan (F)
    Kill! Kill me.
[05:29] Shion
    I'm using my waves as I tested,
    but it's still no simple task.
[05:34] Shion
    Can my body withstand what it takes
    to kill an immortal creature?
[05:38] Sagiri
    I need to help him.
[05:41] Nurugai
    Don't. You can barely stand.
[05:43] Sagiri
    But at this rate...
[05:46] Sagiri
    No, Shion-dono is already prepared to die.
[05:49] Sagiri
    Fighting alone is too great a disadvantage.
[05:51] Sagiri
    We should at least attack
    from two sides to create an opening.
[05:55] Nurugai
    Fine. In that case, let's all—
[05:58] Yuzuriha
    What?
[05:59] Yuzuriha
    No, thanks. I'm all out of steam.
[06:03] Nurugai
    I see.
[06:09] Nurugai
    Better now?
[06:10] Yuzuriha
    What do you mean?
[06:12] Nurugai
    That's odd.
[06:17] Nurugai
    Better now?
[06:19] Sagiri
    I feel... slightly more energized?
[06:23] Nurugai
    Better now?
[06:24] Sagiri
    Huh? Uh, I suppose.
[06:26] Sagiri
    But how...?
[06:28] Nurugai
    I used to do it to Grandpa all the time.
[06:30] Nurugai
    When I did it to my master,
    he said it energized him, too.
[06:35] (Flashback) Shion
    I've clearly recovered some stamina.
[06:38] (Flashback) Shion
    All creatures produce waves,
[06:40] (Flashback) Shion
    but there must be various interactions,
    like the elements of Wuxing philosophy.
[06:45] (Flashback) Shion
    But I'd prefer you not
    suddenly latch onto me.
[06:48] (Flashback) Shion
    Simply touching me seems
    to have some effect.
[06:50] (Flashback) Nurugai
    Okay.
[06:51] Sagiri
    Which means sometimes there are
    positive interactions,
[06:54] Sagiri
    such as increasing someone's tao.
[06:56] Sagiri
    No, there's no time to think right now.
[07:00] Sagiri
    As long as I can move, that's good enough.
[07:02] Sagiri
    Let's go.
[07:03] Yuzuriha
    Good luck.
[07:08] Shion
    Sagiri, Nurugai. I told you to stay away.
[07:12] Shion
    Wait, what are you wearing?
[07:15] Sagiri
    We'll help you, Shion-dono.
[07:16] Sagiri
    I know the creature's weakness.
[07:19] Shion
    Its weakness?
[07:20] Sagiri
    The source of its power. The tanden.
[07:23] Sagiri
    If we can strike at its core,
    we should be able to defeat it.
[07:28] Shion
    But that monster has two tanden.
[07:31] Shion
    Simply being scratched by it is fatal.
[07:34] Sagiri
    That's what this is for.
[07:36] Sagiri
    We've wrapped ourselves in bandages
    and Yuzuriha's mucus.
[07:40] Sagiri
    It should be able to prevent scratches
    and keep flowers from growing.
[07:44] (Flashback) Sagiri
    Is it really necessary to lick it?
[07:46] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    No.
[07:47] Sagiri
    This child and I will act as decoys
    and attack from the front.
[07:51] Sagiri
    Use that opportunity to get behind it.
[07:53] Sagiri
    With your speed, you should be
    able to strike two places at once.
[07:58] Sagiri
    Watch out!
[08:05] Sagiri
    Such an athletic child...
[08:13] Nurugai
    Wow.
[08:15] Shion
    Incredible. Sagiri's sensing its waves, too.
[08:18] Shion
    Like me, she's predicting its movements
    from the flow of its waves,
[08:22] Shion
    and doing it even faster
    and more accurately than I can.
[08:26] Shion
    You've become so strong.
[08:29] Shion
    I'm sorry.
[08:30] Shion
    We'll go with your plan, Sagiri.
[08:32] Shion
    Let's play it by ear.
[08:34] Sagiri
    Got it.
[08:37] Shion
    Tameshi Itto-ryu: Harvest Shower.
[09:14] Yuzuriha
    Wow, they're actually overpowering it.
[09:20] Yuzuriha
    It's taking longer and longer to regenerate.
[09:25] Sagiri
    I've never seen Shion-dono
    fight so fiercely before.
[09:29] Sagiri
    We could actually beat it.
[09:34] Shion
    I'll keep this up...
[09:36] Shion
    even if I die here.
[09:51] Shion
    I'm sorry, Sagiri, Nurugai.
[09:54] Shion
    I knew it would be dangerous.
[09:56] Shion
    But I can't stop.
[10:00] Shion
    My mind and body are being
    swallowed by a pitch-black emotion.
[10:05] Shion
    It's not resolve. It's hatred.
[10:08] Shion
    My hatred and frustration will never forgive
[10:12] Shion
    how all I could do
    in that moment was run away.
[10:20] Shion
    Never forgive. Never, never, never!
[10:24] Shion
    Yamada Asaemon Shion,
    you will never be forgiven.
[10:28] Shion
    Not until the life of the enemy has ended.
[10:31] Shion
    Not until your own life has ended.
[10:39] Sagiri
    Shion-dono!
[10:42] Shion
    I'll gather all the waves flowing
    through my body in a single point.
[10:46] Shion
    I'll temper them and
    wrap them around my blade.
[10:50] Shion
    Focusing one's waves is
    the same as focusing one's soul.
[10:54] Shion
    If you're not careful, you risk dying.
[10:57] Shion
    But if you're immortal,
    then allow me to teach you
[11:01] Shion
    how fleeting and heavy life is.
[11:05] Shion
    How terrifying it is!
[11:08] Shion
    Wait. Is this truly its weakness?
[11:11] Shion
    According to Sagiri,
    it's the source of its power.
[11:15] Shion
    But I don't sense strong
    waves coming from here.
[11:20] Shion
    There's no time to hesitate—
[11:21] Senta
    Shion-san!
[11:23] Senta
    The ovule!
[11:24] Shion
    Senta!
[11:26] Senta
    If it's a plant monster,
    then its ovule is its tanden.
[11:34] Senta
    Where the nutrients
    for its flowers are concentrated.
[11:38] Senta
    At the center of its petals.
[11:42] Senta
    That's its weakness!
[11:58] Kishikai Mu Dan (M)
    Beautiful.
[12:00] Kishikai Mu Dan (M)
    A man prepared to die.
[12:02] Kishikai Mu Dan (M)
    The space between life and death.
[12:04] Kishikai Mu Dan (M)
    I could never attain such perfect yin-yang.
[12:09] Kishikai Mu Dan (M)
    I wish I could've shown Rien.
[12:21] Kishikai Mu Dan (M)
    I waited a thousand years. Thank you.
[12:55] Sagiri
    Senta-dono!
[12:59] Yuzuriha
    He'll live another half-hour at most.
[13:01] Yuzuriha
    That took everything he had left.
[13:03] Sagiri
    No...
[13:05] Shion
    Senta!
[13:05] Nurugai
    Don't move, Master.
[13:07] Sagiri
    What about the salve?
[13:09] Yuzuriha
    I still have one dose left.
[13:11] Sagiri
    Th-Then...
[13:14] Yuzuriha
    I think it'd be better used on him.
[13:18] Sagiri
    If you split the dose, then...
[13:21] Yuzuriha
    I need to keep some for myself.
[13:23] Yuzuriha
    I'm not such a good person
    that I'd give all of it away.
[13:26] Yuzuriha
    Besides, the road ahead is too difficult
    to bring an injured man with us.
[13:29] Yuzuriha
    Give up.
[13:32] Sagiri
    No... but...
[13:36] Sagiri
    Didn't you say we'd manage
    somehow as long as we were alive?
[13:40] Yuzuriha
    Shinobi are realists.
[13:42] Yuzuriha
    We can tell the difference between suffering
[13:44] Yuzuriha
    that should be overcome
    and suffering that's pointless to endure.
[13:50] Yuzuriha
    I'm sure you know this,
    but you're not going to make it.
[13:54] Yuzuriha
    So you can let go.
[13:56] Yuzuriha
    You don't need to hold onto
    your job or pride anymore.
[14:01] Yuzuriha
    You can relax now.
[14:04] Yuzuriha
    You've always lied to yourself, right?
[14:07] Yuzuriha
    At the very end, think about
    whatever you want to think about.
[14:13] Yuzuriha
    Your family? A pet cat?
[14:16] Yuzuriha
    A sweetheart you left back home?
[14:18] Yuzuriha
    Picture them in your heart as you
    die beholding a beautiful sight.
[14:25] Yuzuriha
    I can at least let you lean on me.
[14:29] Senta
    The things I loved...
[14:30] Senta
    My family back home. Konpeito.
[14:34] Senta
    Kitao Shigemasa's illustrated books.
[14:37] Senta
    Being in the arms of the one I admired.
[14:52] Shion
    The situation has progressed too quickly.
[14:55] Shion
    I'd like to take stock of things.
[14:57] Yuzuriha
    I agree.
[14:58] Yuzuriha
    Let's start with who the heck you two are.
[15:02] Shion
    Let's get away from here first, Sagiri.
[15:12] Sagiri
    Thank you for what you
    said earlier, Yuzuriha-san.
[15:16] Sagiri
    Your cool head saved me again.
[15:22] Sagiri
    It no longer matters if we're criminals
    or executioners anymore.
[15:26] Sagiri
    We won't survive otherwise.
[15:28] Sagiri
    Let's focus all our efforts
    on making it back alive.
[15:35] Sagiri
    I won't let anyone else die.
[15:38] Sagiri
    I swear we'll all leave this island alive.
[15:41] Sagiri
    I swear it.
[15:53] Gantetsusai
    That's the first thing
    you do upon waking up?
[15:55] Gantetsusai
    Relax a little. What are you, a cat?
[15:58] Gabimaru
    Where are we?
[16:00] Fuchi
    A cave halfway up the valley wall.
[16:02] Gantetsusai
    I carried you here.
[16:05] Gabimaru
    I can't remember...
[16:32] Sagiri
    This place should allow us
    to hide for a while.
[16:36] Sagiri
    Of course, we'll need to be careful.
[16:39] Sagiri
    What are you doing?
[16:41] Yuzuriha
    Changing.
[16:45] Yuzuriha
    I bet this would look good on you, Sagirin.
[16:47] Nurugai
    Me, too.
[16:48] Yuzuriha
    Why would a guy wear this?
[16:50] Nurugai
    Why, you...
[16:52] Sagiri
    Keep your wits about you.
[16:52] Yuzuriha
    What's your problem?
[16:53] Shion
    Sagiri, I understand your eagerness,
[16:54] Nurugai
    I wanna wear it, too.
[16:55] Yuzuriha
    You do?
[16:56] Nurugai
    Yeah.
[16:56] Shion
    but you must be exhausted as well.
[16:56] Yuzuriha
    Really? Which one?
[16:57] Nurugai
    This one.
[16:58] Yuzuriha
    That one?
[16:59] Nurugai
    Yeah.
[16:59] Shion
    Relaxing a little won't hurt you.
[16:59] Yuzuriha
    Wouldn't this look better?
[17:00] Nurugai
    No, I want this one.
[17:02] Yuzuriha
    This one?
[17:02] Sagiri
    Shion-dono.
[17:03] Nurugai
    Yeah, this one.
[17:04] Yuzuriha
    Well, try it on, then.
[17:04] Shion
    Okay, everyone.
[17:06] Shion
    Don't stop what you're doing,
    but listen while you do that.
[17:09] Both
    Okay.
[17:10] Shion
    Let's focus on reviewing what information
    we have that will help us return alive.
[17:15] Shion
    First, let's discuss the waves needed
    to defeat the Tensen.
[17:18] Shion
    What you call tao.
[17:21] Shion
    It's a power everyone possesses innately,
[17:23] Shion
    but mastering it allows one
    to achieve superhuman abilities.
[17:27] Shion
    Isn't that what you do, Sagiri?
[17:30] Shion
    Your experiences on the island
    have strengthened your tao.
[17:34] Shion
    It must've been hard.
[17:36] Sagiri
    No worse than it was for you.
[17:39] Shion
    But you must be careful how you use it.
[17:41] Shion
    Tao is life itself.
[17:44] Shion
    Use too much, and you'll exhaust
    more than just your stamina.
[17:47] Shion
    It's unclear exactly what the effects are,
[17:50] Shion
    but it might cause mental
    or physical changes.
[17:53] Shion
    It might even affect one's
    consciousness or memories.
[17:57] Shion
    In the worst case,
    overuse likely leads to death.
[17:59] Yuzuriha
    If we're talking about life or death,
[18:02] Yuzuriha
    then we've got a more serious problem.
[18:05] Yuzuriha
    The Elixir of Life.
[18:07] Yuzuriha
    Though there's something similar,
    there's no Elixir of Life.
[18:11] Shion
    The Shogunate won't accept
    "we couldn't find it."
[18:15] Sagiri
    Gabimaru said it exists.
[18:18] Sagiri
    His village chief was immortal.
[18:20] Sagiri
    It must exist somewhere.
[18:25] Yuzuriha
    About that...
[18:27] Yuzuriha
    Maybe that was an illusion.
[18:30] Sagiri
    An... illusion?
[18:33] Yuzuriha
    Yeah, the type shinobi use.
[18:36] Yuzuriha
    Show someone a supernatural phenomenon
[18:39] Yuzuriha
    when they're little to
    achieve total control over them.
[18:42] Yuzuriha
    You imprint on people
    that they can never defy the chief.
[18:46] Yuzuriha
    Only a few leaders know the truth.
[18:49] Yuzuriha
    The same thing happened in my village.
[18:51] Sagiri
    What?
[18:52] Yuzuriha
    I've got other questions, too.
[18:55] Yuzuriha
    Sagirin, you said Gabimaru's here
    for the person he loves.
[19:00] Sagiri
    Yes, his wife.
[19:02] Yuzuriha
    Yeah, that. It doesn't make sense.
[19:05] Yuzuriha
    Shinobi are merely pawns.
[19:07] Yuzuriha
    It's different for women, but would they
    really have such a young man get married?
[19:12] Yuzuriha
    You can't control people using only fear.
[19:16] Yuzuriha
    They need something stronger to motivate
    them to complete suicidal missions.
[19:20] Yuzuriha
    I'm just speculating, though.
[19:20] Sagiri
    Wait a minute.
[19:22] Yuzuriha
    His village could be different from mine.
[19:25] Yuzuriha
    But...
[19:26] Gabimaru
    I can't remember. Is it some
    type of memory impairment?
[19:31] Yuzuriha
    But Gabimaru's... wife, was it?
[19:34] Yuzuriha
    Does she actually exist?
[19:36] Sagiri
    Wait.
[19:38] Yuzuriha
    What's her name?
[19:40] Yuzuriha
    Have you actually seen her?
[19:41] Sagiri
    Please...
[19:43] Yuzuriha
    Maybe that's the chief's special illusion.
[19:46] Yuzuriha
    Do you even remember what she looks like?
[19:51] Gabimaru
    It's no use.
[19:52] Gabimaru
    I can't even remember where I am.
[19:54] Gabimaru
    Why am I here?
[19:56] Gabimaru
    Who are these guys?
[19:57] Gabimaru
    Enemies? Doesn't seem like it.
[20:00] Gabimaru
    I know who I am.
[20:02] Gabimaru
    I am...
[20:04] Gabimaru
    Iwagakure's current greatest ninja,
    Gabimaru the Hollow.
[20:08] Gabimaru
    In any case, I'll have to gather
    information while playing along.
[20:13] Gabimaru
    Even if they figure me out...
[20:18] Mei
    Gabimaru, okay?
[20:21] Gabimaru
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[20:36] Shion
    You're not going to sleep, Sagiri?
[20:39] Sagiri
    Shion-dono.
[20:42] Sagiri
    Why are you dressed like that?
[20:44] Shion
    My clothes were bloody, so I changed.
[20:47] Shion
    I looked an awful mess.
[20:50] Shion
    What's this?
[20:51] Shion
    Normally you appreciate my jokes.
[20:54] Shion
    Was it not good?
[20:56] Sagiri
    No, your wit is as sharp as ever.
[20:58] Sagiri
    But right now, I simply can't...
[21:02] Sagiri
    Eizen-dono, Genji-dono, Senta-dono,
    Kisho-dono, and Tenza-dono...
[21:09] Sagiri
    So much has happened, but it's
    still only our third night here.
[21:15] Sagiri
    Then there's Gabimaru.
[21:17] Sagiri
    What is he doing now?
[21:19] Shion
    Sagiri...
[21:21] Shion
    Don't tell me you love—
[21:22] Sagiri
    Not at all.
[21:23] Sagiri
    The way you always assume things
    are romantic is a bad habit of yours.
[21:26] Shion
    Sorry.
[21:27] Shion
    But it's clear that you
    feel strongly about him.
[21:29] Shion
    Beyond what's appropriate for your status.
[21:32] Shion
    What are you to Gabimaru?
[21:37] Sagiri
    Honestly, I don't know, but...
[21:41] Sagiri
    Born in a village of killers,
    he killed as he was told.
[21:46] Sagiri
    He's experienced love,
    but it makes his past self suffer.
[21:50] Sagiri
    On top of that, like Yuzuriha-san said,
[21:53] Sagiri
    if what motivates him is
    a deception as well...
[21:56] Sagiri
    That's simply too sad.
[22:00] Sagiri
    He's a heinous killer.
[22:03] Sagiri
    He's a killer, but I don't
    believe he's a bad person.
[22:06] Sagiri
    Which is why...
[22:09] Sagiri
    I believe they'll be reunited.
[22:12] Sagiri
    He'll never give up.
[22:16] Sagiri
    He'll make it back alive.
