[00:45] Gabimaru
    Even after being pierced by blades
    and spilling his guts on the ground,
[00:50] Gabimaru
    he remains standing in place.
[00:53] Gabimaru
    The Chief of Iwagakure truly was immortal.
[00:57] Gabimaru
    Apparently, it was due to a medicine he
    acquired long ago from a land across the sea.
[01:08] Gabimaru
    Judging by your expression,
[01:10] Gabimaru
    it seems like you didn't
    think it actually existed.
[01:13] Sagiri
    You mean...
[01:15] Gabimaru
    It's real. The Elixir of Life.
[01:18] Gabimaru
    The Tokijiku no Kagunomi.
[01:22] Gabimaru
    I don't know if it's here, though.
SIGN    Weakness and Strength
[03:05] Sagiri
    What is this?
[03:10] Sagiri
    It's so fantastical.
[03:13] Sagiri
    This place certainly makes one believe
    the Elixir of Life might be found here.
[03:20] Gabimaru
    Don't you mean it's creepy as hell?
[03:23] Gabimaru
    There's no rhyme or reason to the species
[03:25] Gabimaru
    and natural habitats
    of the plants growing here.
[03:27] Gabimaru
    It's unnatural.
[03:29] Gabimaru
    And...
[03:32] Gabimaru
    There's no telling what might
    be out there. Be careful.
[03:35] Sagiri
    You're not allowed to remove your bonds.
[03:38] Gabimaru
    You expect me to do this with
     my hands tied? That's ridiculous.
[03:40] Sagiri
    Ridiculous or not, it's the shogun's will.
[03:42] Sagiri
    It's my job to keep an eye
    on a criminal like you.
[03:45] Sagiri
    I cannot overlook any attempt
    to break the rules.
[03:48] Sagiri
    Bind your hands.
[03:50] Gabimaru
    C'mon, can't you let this slide?
[03:53] Gabimaru
    In fact, this isn't the only
    ridiculous thing about this expedition.
[03:56] Gabimaru
    We've only been given food
    and water for three days.
[03:58] Gabimaru
    Our only clue is this drawing.
[04:00] Gabimaru
    They're not actually trying
    to find it, are they?
[04:05] Sagiri
    Bind your hands.
[04:08] Sagiri
    If you're confused,
    then allow me to explain.
[04:10] Sagiri
    I am an executioner, not your ally.
[04:14] Sagiri
    It's not my problem if you fail to find
    the Elixir and receive a pardon.
[04:22] Sagiri
    If you refuse to bind your hands,
    then I'll simply take your head off.
[04:30] Gabimaru
    Fine, fine. Whatever you want.
[04:33] Gabimaru
    In any case, all I want
    is to see my wife again.
[04:36] Gabimaru
    I'll accept whatever conditions I have to,
    but try not to be too rid—
[04:45] Sagiri
    Ga...
[04:51] Keiun
    That's one down!
[04:55] Keiun
    Fool.
[05:01] Keiun
    He let his guard down
    under these circumstances.
[05:04] Keiun
    He deserved to d—
[05:05] Gabimaru
    Wow.
[05:07] Gabimaru
    You surprised me.
[05:11] Sagiri
    You're all right?
[05:12] Gabimaru
    I dislocated my neck.
[05:15] Gabimaru
    Anyway, look at him.
[05:17] Sagiri
    Yes.
[05:18] Sagiri
    That's Twisted Keiun,
    one of the condemned criminals.
[05:22] Sagiri
    He's a warrior monk who fell in love
    with weapons during his training.
[05:28] Sagiri
    They say he's stolen over
    a hundred weapons from other warriors.
[05:33] Gabimaru
    Actually, that's not what I meant.
[05:35] Gabimaru
    His hands aren't bound.
[05:37] Sagiri
    What?
[05:39] Sagiri
    That doesn't matter right now.
    Well, it does matter, but...
[05:44] Sagiri
    Why aren't his hands bound, Kisho-dono?
[05:46] Kisho
    You're as rigid as ever, Sagiri.
[05:49] Kisho
    We can tie their hands
    again on the trip back.
[05:52] Kisho
    I can't be bothered to argue
    with this scum over that. It's stupid.
[05:56] Gabimaru
    See? See?
[05:57] Kisho
    You're still the lowest-ranked
    because you're honest to a fault.
[06:02] Kisho
    All the Asaemon are ranked.
[06:05] Kisho
    Sagiri's rank is—
[06:06] Sagiri
    This is not the time for that discussion.
[06:09] Keiun
    Hey!
[06:10] Keiun
    How dare you ignore me, Gabimaru the Hollow.
[06:14] Keiun
    You're as bold and
    stalwart as the rumors say.
[06:18] Keiun
    How convenient for me.
[06:20] Keiun
    I can test my weapons on you
    to my heart's content.
[06:24] Keiun
    Weapons only shine once they drink blood.
[06:29] Keiun
    Your body shall experience
    their beauty firsthand.
[06:34] Gabimaru
    Are you some kind of pervert?
[06:36] Gabimaru
    If we waste time fighting here,
    the others will get a head start on us.
[06:40] Keiun
    That's precisely why I'm doing this.
[06:42] Keiun
    We were given practically
    no leads to begin with.
[06:45] Keiun
    It would be wise to kill
    the other criminals first
[06:49] Keiun
    and then take my time
    searching for the Elixir.
[06:53] Keiun
    And you're first, Hollow.
[06:56] Gabimaru
    What?
[06:58] Kisho
    We're just here to watch you.
[07:00] Kisho
    Feel free to kill each other if you'd like.
[07:02] Sagiri
    I agree.
[07:05] Gabimaru
    But it's a pointless hassle.
[07:07] Gabimaru
    I don't want to kill anyone
    'cause my wife wouldn't like it.
[07:11] Gabimaru
    But I have no choice. Guess I'll kill you.
[07:14] Keiun
    I'd like to see you try!
[07:18] Sagiri
    Bind your hands.
[07:19] Gabimaru
    You're kidding, right?
[07:34] Gabimaru
    Okay, they're tied.
[07:36] Keiun
    How convenient.
[07:38] Keiun
    I shall test all my weapons against you.
[07:41] Gabimaru
    I don't have time for all of that.
[07:48] Sagiri
    He used a single pole as a lever
    to launch his massive bulk.
[08:07] Gabimaru
    It's hard to fight with my hands tied.
[08:11] Sagiri
    A single blow?
[08:18] Sagiri
    It's sewn directly onto his skin.
[08:20] Sagiri
    How truly outlandish.
[08:24] Keiun
    We're just getting started, Hollow.
[08:40] Gabimaru
    That was a waste of time.
[08:43] Gabimaru
    Let's look for the Elixir.
[08:47] Gabimaru
    My hands are still tied.
[08:49] Sagiri
    What? Oh, right.
[09:02] Kisho
    Well, I'm heading back now.
[09:05] Gabimaru
    We don't need to fight?
[09:06] Kisho
    I told you, we're neither
    your enemies nor allies.
[09:10] Kisho
    If the criminal we're responsible for dies,
    then we simply take his head back.
[09:15] Kisho
    I'm going home and taking a bath.
[09:17] Sagiri
    Kisho-dono.
[09:19] Sagiri
    Sixty men went missing on this island.
[09:21] Sagiri
    Be careful on your return journey.
[09:24] Kisho
    Can you afford to worry
    about anyone else right now?
[09:27] Kisho
    If anything, I consider myself lucky
    for getting out of this so quickly.
[09:30] Kisho
    You're naïve if you think you're safe
    just because his hands are tied.
[09:34] Kisho
    The man standing next to you is a criminal.
[09:37] Kisho
    Mere moments after we headed to shore,
    I'd already seen so much.
[09:44] Kisho
    Those who sought to reduce their
    competition before we even landed...
[09:47] Kisho
    Those who plotted to work together,
    and those who pretended to...
[09:53] Kisho
    They never followed society's
    rules in the first place.
[09:58] Kisho
    They don't care about duties or rules.
[10:06] Kisho
    They'll attempt to survive
    by whatever methods suit them.
[10:09] Kisho
    They'll do whatever it takes.
[10:12] Sagiri
    But wouldn't breaking
    the rules invalidate their pardon?
[10:16] Kisho
    That's why I called you rigid.
[10:18] Kisho
    To a samurai, the shogun's word is absolute,
[10:21] Kisho
    but what really matters is our priorities.
[10:24] Kisho
    Priority number one is the Elixir of Life.
[10:25] Kisho
    Everything else comes second to that.
[10:27] Kisho
    Wouldn't the shogunate prefer we break
    the rules to achieve our
[10:30] Kisho
    objective rather than
    following them and failing?
[10:35] Kisho
    Besides, rules are illusions
    that don't function
[10:38] Kisho
    unless you believe
    everyone will follow them.
[10:41] Kisho
    For some, they simply never apply.
[10:44] Kisho
    Like him.
[10:46] Kisho
    Shall I cut him down for you now?
[10:50] Gabimaru
    Let's not waste time on pointless jokes.
[10:53] Gabimaru
    We're short on time as it is.
[10:55] Gabimaru
    I just want to get back to my wife.
[10:58] Gabimaru
    I don't care about anything else.
[11:03] Kisho
    Let's hurry.
[11:06] Kisho
    You're right. You should hurry.
[11:10] Kisho
    Allow me to make a prediction.
[11:13] Kisho
    The situation will change
    again in just a few hours.
[11:25] Eizen
    Are you hungry, Rokurota?
[11:48] Kisho
    In just a few mere hours, there will
     be a seemingly unpredictable turn.
[11:57] Kisho
    More than half the criminals will die,
[11:59] Kisho
    and within a few moments more,
    so will the other half.
[12:05] Kisho
    In less than a day,
    there will be only one left.
[12:10] Kisho
    You're expendable.
[12:13] Kisho
    If your numbers dwindle,
    then more will be added.
[12:16] Gabimaru
    More?
[12:17] Kisho
    Hattori's messenger has
    already traveled to Ishu.
[12:20] Kisho
    The shogunate undoubtedly made
    contact with the new Iwagakure.
[12:25] Kisho
    The Asaemon aren't
    a monolith either, Sagiri.
[12:28] Kisho
    Rumor has it this job will determine
    the next head of the clan.
[12:33] Kisho
    I don't know if it's true or not,
    but it's enough to inspire ambition in some.
[12:37] Kisho
    Not that I'm interested.
[12:39] Kisho
    See you later.
[12:41] Kisho
    Don't let your guard
    down around the criminals.
[12:43] Kisho
    You've been warned.
[12:48] Sagiri
    He's right.
[12:49] Sagiri
    Even though we've been traveling
    together for several days,
[12:52] Sagiri
    I still don't understand
    this man's true character.
[12:55] Sagiri
    But...
[12:57] Sagiri
    Which way now?
[13:07] Sagiri
    What do you think you're doing?
[13:09] Gabimaru
    I was hoping to kill you painlessly.
[13:13] Sagiri
    I knew it.
[13:15] Sagiri
    This man's true nature is...
[13:25] (Flashback) Chief
    They asked to leave the village
    the moment they had a child?
[13:30] (Flashback) Chief
    And they're supposed to be jonin. Pathetic.
[13:34] (Flashback) Chief
    I shall raise this child.
[13:36] (Flashback) Shinobi A
    Yes, sir.
[13:38] (Flashback) Chief
    Look closely, Gabimaru.
[13:41] (Flashback) Chief
    This is weakness.
[13:43] (Flashback) Chief
    Emotions, even love between a parent
    and child, make you weak.
[13:49] (Flashback) Chief
    Unless you're strong,
    you can't protect anything.
[13:52] (Flashback) Chief
    Let alone everything precious to you.
[14:17] Sagiri
    Killing me is a violation of the rules.
[14:21] Gabimaru
    Remember what your clansman said.
     It's about priorities.
[14:25] Gabimaru
    If the Iwagakure arrive on the island,
    everything will go up in smoke.
[14:30] Gabimaru
    I have to find the Elixir
    of Life before then.
[14:35] Gabimaru
    I have no hatred for you,
    but you're a hindrance.
[14:38] Sagiri
    So you're going to kill me?
[14:40] Gabimaru
    Sometimes there's no other choice.
[14:42] Gabimaru
    I'm sorry, but you have to die.
[14:47] Sagiri
    This man is dangerous after all.
[14:49] Sagiri
    His thinking and morality
    are extreme and abnormal.
[14:52] Sagiri
    He should be executed immediately.
[14:55] Sagiri
    But for some reason, I'm hesitant.
[15:00] Sagiri
    I can't...
[15:01] Sagiri
    I just can't...
[15:07] Gabimaru
    Again.
[15:08] Gabimaru
    I should've been able to
    kill her just now.
[15:15] Gabimaru
    Why am I hesitating?
[15:18] Gabimaru
    Why?
[15:20] (Flashback) Yui
    I think it's normal not to
    want to kill anyone.
[15:26] (Flashback) Gabimaru
    Ridiculous. I'm hollow.
[15:29] (Flashback) Gabimaru
    I don't have feelings like that anymore.
[15:32] (Flashback) Yui
    How can you say that
    after you blushed so much over a kiss?
[15:38] (Flashback) Yui
    If you have emotions,
    you should listen to them.
[15:42] (Flashback) Yui
    You're not your old self anymore.
[15:48] (Flashback) Yui
    True courage is being true to your emotions.
[15:52] (Flashback) Yui
    As long as you're
    like that, I'll follow you,
[15:55] (Flashback) Yui
    even if it means leaving the village.
[15:59] Gabimaru
    I experienced emotions
    after meeting my wife.
[16:05] Gabimaru
    But among them was hatred.
[16:09] (Flashback) Shinobi B
    He wasn't our target.
[16:12] (Flashback) Gabimaru
    He said he'd take revenge on my wife
     and the rest of my family.
[16:18] (Flashback) Samurai
    No, wait! I can't die!
[16:21] (Flashback) Samurai
    I've got a wife and child!
[16:37] Gaimaru
    I experienced weakness as well.
[16:49] Gabimaru
    Again. This is weakness.
[16:52] Gabimaru
    At this rate, I won't be pardoned,
    much less survive.
[16:59] Sagiri
    He's a violent condemned criminal.
[17:01] Sagiri
    On top of that, he's trying
    to kill me, but...
[17:09] Gabimaru
    The heart is such a nuisance.
[17:13] (Flashback) Chief
    Unless you're strong,
    you can't protect anything.
[17:32] Gabimaru
    Stop resisting. It's pointless.
[17:35] Gabimaru
    You're skilled enough to know.
[17:38] Gabimaru
    You can't beat me with that.
[17:41] Gabimaru
    I don't care about the other criminals,
    but killing you will hurt me.
[17:46] Gabimaru
    Can't you at least die quietly?
[17:49] Sagiri
    It will hurt you?
[17:50] Sagiri
    You still have those kinds of emotions left?
[17:55] Gabimaru
    You're right.
[18:06] Gabimaru
    I don't have emotions.
[18:08] Gabimaru
    I am Gabimaru the Hollow.
[18:11] Gabimaru
    I've killed so many people,
    I've grown tired of it.
[18:14] Gabimaru
    Killing one more person
    doesn't make me feel anything.
[18:19] Gabimaru
    That's how I was raised.
[18:22] Gabimaru
    Unless you're strong,
    you can't protect anything.
[18:26] Sagiri
    I knew it. This man is dangerous.
[18:29] Gabimaru
    I don't need emotions.
[18:31] Gabimaru
    Now die.
[18:33] Sagiri
    But...
[18:50] Gabimaru
    Why?
[18:52] Gabimaru
    Why do I hesitate?
[18:55] Gabimaru
    I shouldn't feel anything.
[18:59] Sagiri
    That's right.
[19:01] Sagiri
    In that moment,
[19:02] Sagiri
    and that moment,
[19:04] Sagiri
    this man has always
[19:07] Sagiri
    worn the same expression he's wearing now,
[19:09] Sagiri
    as though he's trying to endure something.
[19:13] Sagiri
    The environment he was raised in
    simply gave him the wrong idea.
[19:16] Sagiri
    He's not a hollow man who feels nothing.
[19:19] Sagiri
    He's a human being with emotions.
[19:22] Sagiri
    And watching him allowed me
    to face my own emotions.
[19:29] Gabimaru
    Is this how weak I've become?
[19:34] Gabimaru
    At this rate, I won't survive.
[19:38] Gabimaru
    If I'm this weak,
    I'll never see my wife again.
[19:43] Sagiri
    That's not weakness.
[19:46] Sagiri
    It's the seed of strength.
[19:49] Sagiri
    Feeling nothing is
    the same as averting your gaze.
[19:54] Sagiri
    I believe not fleeing
    from your emotions is strength.
[19:59] (Flashback) Yui
    True courage is being true to your emotions.
[20:03] Sagiri
    At least allow me to say that.
[20:06] Sagiri
    After all, I was able to face
    my own emotions because of you.
[20:12] Gabimaru
    Is now really the right time to say that?
[20:14] Sagiri
    Your hands aren't moving.
[20:18] Sagiri
    Normally, I'd execute you immediately,
[20:21] Sagiri
    but this time, I'll overlook your behavior.
[20:23] Sagiri
    If you regret your own crimes,
[20:25] Sagiri
    face your emotions, and struggle
     to reclaim your life,
[20:30] Sagiri
    then I wish to see that through.
[20:34] Gabimaru
    What?
[20:36] Sagiri
    Show me if someone like
    you can reclaim his life.
[20:45] Sagiri
    I must face my own emotions as well,
    so that I can become stronger.
[20:52] Sagiri
    Our relationship hasn't changed.
[20:55] Sagiri
    But you...
[20:57] (Flashback) Yui
    You're not...
[21:00] Sagiri
    You're not your old self anymore.
[21:14] Gantetsusai
    What the hell is this?
[21:22] Fuchi
    Those look like man-made objects.
[21:44] Fuchi
    What are you doing?
[21:48] Fuchi
    Wh-Why?
[21:50] Gantetsusai
    Look.
[21:51] Gantetsusai
    It's a butterfly with a human face.
[21:53] Gantetsusai
    That's not from our world.
[21:59] Fuchi
    Amazing.
[22:01] Gantetsusai
    Don't get distracted.
[22:07] Gantetsusai
    What the hell is this island?
[22:10] Gantetsusai
    Is this actually the Other Side?
[22:13] Fuchi
    I-It wouldn't be impossible
    for creatures like those to exist.
[22:18] Gantetsusai
    This is starting to get interesting.
[22:35] Gantetsusai
    Interesting.
[22:46] Sagiri
    What is this... c-creature?
[22:52] Gabimaru
    Stay back.
