[01:51] (Flashback) Mother     Grow up strong, Rokurota. [01:55] (Flashback) Mother     Oh, my. Is it playtime     now that he's had a snack? [02:18] Genji     Stand back, Sagiri! [02:33] Sagiri     Genji-dono! [02:38] Sagiri     You need immediate medical attention. [02:40] Genji     Run, Sagiri. [02:43] Genji     It's too late for me. [02:46] Genji     Hurry... run... [03:04] Sagiri     Gabimaru... [03:05] Gabimaru     Is he a condemned criminal or a monster? [03:10] Gabimaru     He's practically unharmed. [03:12] Sagiri     That's Rokurota, the Giant of Bizen. [03:17] Sagiri     He's assigned to... [03:20] Sagiri     Eizen-dono. [03:26] Gabimaru     Those are the eyes     of a predator who's located his prey. [03:29] Gabimaru     It'll be tough for us to escape together. [03:33] Gabimaru     Then I have no choice. [03:35] Gabimaru     I'll kill him. [03:37] Gabimaru     That said, how? [03:39] Gabimaru     If that kick was ineffective,     then he's as tough as an Iwagakure. [03:45] (Flashback) Chief     Shinobi Rule Number Nine. [03:48] Chief     Accurately analyze the enemy's abilities. [03:54] Gabimaru     I'll decide once I see how strong he is. [04:02] Gabimaru     What? [04:13] Gabimaru     Stay back. You'll die. [04:15] Sagiri     But... [04:17] Gabimaru     Physically, he's stronger than me. [04:19] Gabimaru     How long are you going to     sit there and watch, Yuzuriha? [04:22] Gabimaru     Help me. [04:23] Gabimaru     You've got your own ninjutsu, don't you? [04:25] Gabimaru     Fight with me, like you promised you would. [04:27] Yuzuriha     Okay, okay. [04:29] Yuzuriha     Of course I'll keep my promises. [04:33] Yuzuriha     You're responsible for the fighting, [04:34] Yuzuriha     and I'm responsible     for gathering information. [04:37] Yuzuriha     You've got this, Gabimaru. [04:39] Yuzuriha     Don't let him beat you, Gabimaru. [04:41] Yuzuriha     Go, go. Get him. [04:42] Yuzuriha     You're so strong, Gabimaru. [04:44] Yuzuriha     Get out there. [04:48] Gabimaru     There's nothing special about his swings. [04:50] Gabimaru     If I just focus on the     destruction wrought by his fists... [05:02] Gabimaru     His swings and reactions are fast. [05:05] Gabimaru     I can feel it instinctively. [05:07] Gabimaru     It's impossible to defend     against those fists. [05:09] Gabimaru     Touching them would mean instant death. [05:10] Gabimaru     In that case... [05:12] Gabimaru     Ninpo: Stone Storm. [05:24] Gabimaru     Projectiles are ineffective. [05:29] Gabimaru     Ninpo: Unformed Blade. [05:34] Gabimaru     Not even my Unformed Blade, which is     comparable to steel, works against him. SIGN    Ninpo: Unformed Blade SIGN    Ninpo:     Savage      Headbutt [05:39] Gabimaru     What else do I have? SIGN    Ninpo:     Aqueous      Bomb SIGN    Ninpo:     Quilt of      Thorns SIGN    Ninpo:     Savage     Headbutt SIGN    Ninpo:     Zephyr      Weave [05:41] Gabimaru     What long-range ninjutsu     would be effective against him? SIGN    Ninpo:     Wild     Archer SIGN    Ninpo:     Savage      Headbutt [05:46] Genji     Enough. [05:48] Genji     This is pointless. [05:50] Genji     Run, Sagiri. [05:54] Sagiri     Don't give up. [05:55] Sagiri     You'll survive if we can stop the bleeding. [05:59] Genji     You're a strange person. [06:02] Genji     Moments ago, you were blustering like a man. [06:07] Genji     But now, I feel a woman's affection in you. [06:11] Sagiri     Right now, there are no men or women. [06:13] Sagiri     I simply don't want my senior, who     studied under the same master to die. [06:21] Genji     So that's how you've chosen to live. [06:25] Genji     Rather than dividing everything in two,     such as man or woman, strength or weakness, [06:30] Genji     you accept opposing     concepts as part of yourself. [06:34] Genji     You embody the middle way. [06:36] Genji     That is your conviction. [06:40] Genji     I finally understand. [06:46] Genji     A warrior's sword is his soul. [06:49] Genji     I give this to you. [06:52] Genji     Rokurota probably killed Eizen-dono. [07:00] Genji     If you're a samurai, then I won't      tell you to run anymore. [07:06] Genji     Kill Rokurota, [07:11] Genji     Yamada Asaemon Sagiri. [07:20] Gabimaru     Close-quarters combat is too dangerous.     Projectiles are ineffective. [07:25] Gabimaru     If I could just get the chance     to use Ascetic Blaze... [07:31] Gabimaru     If it were two against one,     I could find a blind spot. [07:39] Sagiri     If you insert your blade at the junction     of extended muscles, tendons, and bone, [07:45] Sagiri     even the strongest body can be cut. [07:47] Sagiri     No matter how outlandish your opponent,     the principles of execution apply. [07:52] Sagiri     Understand the structure of their body     and strike at the gaps. [07:56] Sagiri     That is the Yamada Asaemon style. [08:01] Sagiri     Gabimaru. [08:03] Gabimaru     Good timing. I was just looking for help. [08:07] Both     Assist me. [08:09] Senta     Um, I'd like to go tend     my fellow student's wounds. [08:13] Yuzuriha     What? But it's too late for him. [08:16] Yuzuriha     Besides, you're not     that kind of guy, are you? [08:21] Yuzuriha     More importantly, no monsters have     approached despite the noise we're making. [08:26] Yuzuriha     Wouldn't it be more beneficial     to observe them? [08:29] Yuzuriha     We can flee once they're dead. [08:33] Sagiri     His bleeding has stopped already. [08:36] Gabimaru     So that wasn't a serious injury for him. [08:40] Gabimaru     We need a single killing blow. [08:42] Gabimaru     We'll have to aim for the gaps     between his bones and decapitate him. [08:44] Sagiri     But his neck is too high up. [08:47] Gabimaru     So we'll split up. [08:49] Gabimaru     Cut his legs from his blind spot     and make him kneel. [08:52] Sagiri     You say that so casually. [08:53] Gabimaru     Huh? [08:56] Gabimaru     You can do it, can't you? [09:01] Gabimaru     I'll handle his attacks. [09:14] Sagiri     What? [09:21] Gabimaru     Are you all right? [09:22] Sagiri     Yes. [09:24] Sagiri     He's condemned to death     and killed my senior. [09:30] Sagiri     But if I attack too aggressively,     my swordsmanship will suffer. [09:34] Sagiri     I must remain calm. [09:35] Sagiri     I must push aside my emotions     and rely on reason. [09:42] Gabimaru     He's coming. Again. [09:47] Gabimaru     My leg... [09:49] Gabimaru     I must've strained it     while evading his blows. [09:52] Gabimaru     Dodging all his attacks takes     a high degree of skill. [09:55] Sagiri     A simple open-palm strike     from him hits like a cannon. [09:57] Sagiri     I must remain calm. [09:59] Sagiri     If I'm struck by a single blow, it's over. [10:05] Sagiri     Cutting through his bones     while he's rampaging about will be difficult. [10:08] Sagiri     His movements close the gaps between his     bones, leaving no space for my blade. [10:12] Sagiri     Normally, beheadings are performed     on people bowing their heads. [10:15] Sagiri     Killing him with a single blow     requires him to hunch over. [10:19] Gabimaru     But since our blades     can't penetrate his limbs, [10:22] Gabimaru     it'll be difficult to make him do that. [10:27] Gabimaru     This is a tough problem. [10:32] Gabimaru     Is his stomach growling? [10:40] Yuzuriha     What is this? [10:43] Gabimaru     He's so loud. [10:58] Sagiri     Gabimaru! [11:03] Gabimaru     His extraordinary strength made me     cautious, but I can withstand this. [11:08] Gabimaru     I can handle this. [11:15] Sagiri     No! [11:18] Gabimaru     Crap. I need to get back up. [11:21] Gabimaru     That wasn't a fatal blow. [11:23] Gabimaru     Stand up. [11:31] Sagiri     Death. [11:33] Sagiri     Calm down. I must remain calm. [11:36] Sagiri     Suppress your emotions. Think logically. [11:40] Sagiri     Calm down. [11:41] Sagiri     Abandon your passion and remain calm. [11:45] (Flashback) Genji     The middle way. That is your conviction. [11:49] Sagiri     Rather than dividing everything in two,     accept the opposing concepts as they are. [11:58] Sagiri     Both emotion and reason. [12:14] Sagiri     Turn your emotions into strength. [12:16] Sagiri     Use logic to keep sight of the objective. [12:19] Sagiri     Choose neither calmness nor passion, [12:22] Sagiri     but the middle. [12:30] Yuzuriha     Wow. [12:31] Senta     Her Tameshi-itto-ryu rank is 12th, [12:35] Senta     but Yamada clan ranks     aren't determined by pure skill alone. [12:39] Senta     They're assigned according     to their suitability to lead the clan, [12:43] Senta     so she loses standing simply     for being a woman. [12:45] Senta     In terms of pure skill, she's... [12:49] Genji     Sagiri lacks experience     as a warrior on the battlefield. [12:54] Genji     But when her duty and goals     are aligned with her heart, [12:59] Genji     when her hesitation vanishes, [13:02] Genji     her skill with a sword     is better than first-rate. [13:08] Genji     She may fear the monsters of the island, [13:11] Genji     but as an Asaemon, in the face     of a criminal, she shows no fear. [13:18] Genji     She's one stubborn person. [13:21] Gabimaru     I was right about her. [13:24] Gabimaru     That feeling I got when I first met her... [13:26] Gabimaru     She's strong. [13:36] Sagiri     A low-hanging head... [13:51] Gabimaru     I guess it's not that simple. [13:54] Sagiri     Is there any way to keep his head bowed? [13:58] Gabimaru     I've got an idea. [13:59] Sagiri     What? [14:01] Gabimaru     It might be a bit extreme. [14:09] Gabimaru     The Giant of Bizen. [14:11] Gabimaru     Close-quarters combat is too dangerous.     Projectiles are ineffective. [14:16] Gabimaru     Our only option is to get a blade through     a gap in his body and decapitate him. [14:20] Gabimaru     Doing that requires more than     exceptional physical abilities. [14:25] Gabimaru     We need the skills of the Yamada     Asaemon clan, specialized in beheading. [14:31] Gabimaru     But given his massive bulk     and reaction speed, [14:33] Gabimaru     a half-hearted effort won't be enough     to reach him with a blade. [14:36] Gabimaru     In that case... [14:44] Yuzuriha     Crap. [14:45] Senta     What? [14:45] Yuzuriha     We're getting out of here, Senta. [14:47] Gabimaru     Ninpo: Stone Storm, Ascetic Blaze Mode. [14:54] Gabimaru     Ninpo: Zephyr Weave, Ascetic Blaze Mode. [14:58] Gabimaru     Ninpo: Grand Crag, Ascetic Blaze Mode. [15:02] Gabimaru     Ninpo: Quilt of Thorns, Ascetic Blaze Mode. [15:15] Sagiri     Any more would be reckless. [15:17] Sagiri     Besides, this should be enough. [15:25] Senta     How far do we need to run? [15:27] Yuzuriha     As far as we can, you four-eyed raccoon dog. [15:29] Yuzuriha     They're not just trying to kill Rokurota. [15:33] Yuzuriha     They're planning to set     the whole area on fire. [15:36] Senta     Could it be? [15:38] Yuzuriha     It's the smoke. [15:39] Yuzuriha     The massive amount of smoke     produced by the oils in raw wood. [15:41] Yuzuriha     By setting fire to branches and leaves, [15:45] Yuzuriha     they can instantly fill the area above     with smoke, given smoke's properties. [15:48] Yuzuriha     And if he rampages about while crying, [15:50] Yuzuriha     he'll run short of breath     and inhale a large amount of smoke. [15:54] Gabimaru     Like execution by fire, [15:56] Gabimaru     the poison in the smoke     that causes loss of consciousness [15:58] Gabimaru     when inhaled is more harmful     than the flames or heat. [16:01] Sagiri     Poison? [16:02] Narrator     In other words, carbon monoxide. [16:04] Narrator     It binds to the hemoglobin in the blood, [16:07] Narrator     causing the entire body to rapidly reach     an oxygen deficient state. [16:11] Narrator     It is known as carbon monoxide poisoning. [16:14] Gabimaru     That was tough for me too, [16:16] Gabimaru     but as long as you stay crouched,     you won't inhale any smoke. [16:18] Gabimaru     It's safe. [16:20] Sagiri     I could burn to death. [16:23] Sagiri     Will he reach his limit first? [16:25] Sagiri     Or will his head come down first? [16:49] Gabimaru     Cut him now while we have the chance! [16:51] Gabimaru     I won't last long in a contest of strength! [17:01] Sagiri     Calmly. [17:05] Sagiri     Fiercely. [17:22] Rokurota     Hungry. [17:22] Rokurota     Wanna play. [17:23] Rokurota     Wanna play. Wanna play. [17:25] Rokurota     Hungry. Hungry. [17:29] Rokurota     Why don't I ever feel full? [17:32] Rokurota     Why won't anyone play with me? [17:36] Sagiri     We allowed you to go on quite a rampage. [17:40] Sagiri     We must've frightened you. I'm sorry. [17:43] Sagiri     It's my fault for lacking experience. [17:47] Sagiri     But it's all right now. [17:50] Sagiri     Nobody hates you. [17:53] Sagiri     Those who might hate you now are dead. [17:57] Sagiri     Like them, I hope you rest in peace. [18:07] Gabimaru     The flames are getting stronger. [18:09] Gabimaru     Monsters might approach. [18:11] Gabimaru     We should get away from here. [18:21] Sagiri     Genji-dono... [18:23] Gabimaru     If we don't hurry, we'll burn to death. [18:36] Sagiri     On this island where I can't mourn my     fellow students, much less criminals, [18:40] Sagiri     I must be strong. [18:47] Sagiri     Strong... [18:50] Genji     Rather than dividing everything in two, [18:52] Genji     such as strength or weakness,     you accept them. [18:55] Genji     That is your conviction. [19:10] Gabimaru     They're coming. [19:12] Sagiri     They're heading toward the flames. [19:15] Sagiri     But normally, animals instinctively avoid fire. [19:20] Gabimaru     They're looking less and less natural. [19:25] Gabimaru     We don't have a choice. [19:27] Gabimaru     Let's head in the direction     where the monsters came from. [19:29] Sagiri     Wouldn't that be dangerous? [19:31] Gabimaru     Well, yeah, but we have no other choice. [19:34] Gabimaru     The monsters' ecology     is our only lead on the Elixir. [19:39] Gabimaru     I'm still feeling the damage I took earlier. [19:42] Gabimaru     I need a break. This is such a pain. [19:46] Sagiri     Would you rather give up, then? [19:47] Gabimaru     No. [19:49] Gabimaru     No matter how small or dangerous,     if it's a lead, I'll follow it. [19:53] Gabimaru     I'll find the Elixir of Life as quickly as     possible and see my wife as soon as I can. [19:58] Gabimaru     Are you sure you're not worried about     the safety of your fellow students? [20:07] Sagiri     No. [20:09] Sagiri     They all took this job     knowing it could kill them. [20:12] Sagiri     It would be disrespectful     to be too concerned about them. [20:15] Sagiri     If I'm worried about my fellows, [20:17] Sagiri     then I should find     the Elixir as quickly as possible [20:20] Sagiri     and release us from this responsibility. [20:24] Gabimaru     Our interests are finally aligned. [20:27] Sagiri     I'm still your monitor. [20:37] Sagiri     What is that? [20:38] Gabimaru     The vixen and raccoon     dog fled all the way here? [20:47] Gabimaru     Hey, what about our promise     to fight together? [20:53] Sagiri     Is this a village? [20:59] Yuzuriha     Doesn't look like it could be anything else. [21:02] Senta     If this place really is Shinsenkyo, [21:06] Senta     does that mean hermits live in this village? [21:24] Chobe     Man, that's gross. [21:25] Chobe     Doesn't even fill you up. [21:28] Toma     Is that safe to eat? [21:31] Chobe     I'm not eating it, I'm drinking it. [21:34] Chobe     The bodily fluids of animals are the     water you drink in the mountains. [21:39] Chobe     Anyway, what are those     hermits you mentioned earlier? [21:44] Toma     Well... they're imaginary. [21:48] Toma     They're a type of superhuman being     according to Shenxian philosophy. [21:51] Toma     Most resemble old men     and cast mysterious spells. [21:54] Toma     Allegedly, they're immortal. [21:56] Toma     They may exist on this island. [21:59] Toma     It's supposed to be hermits,     not monsters, that live in Shinsenkyo. [22:04] Chobe     Sounds dumb. [22:06] Chobe     Just kill the old farts and be done with it. [22:09] Chobe     They might actually satisfy my hunger. [22:12] Toma     You're joking, right? [22:17] Toma     Brother? [22:18] Chobe     Something's out there. [22:23] Chobe     These better be good.
