    "Lian Tong Temple"
[00:58] ---
    Kanyo!
[01:00] ---
    Hang in there, Kanyo!
[01:01] ---
    T-Taito...
[01:03] ---
    What on earth happened?!
    How many of them are there?!
[01:07] ---
    O-One...
[01:08] ---
    One?!
[01:37] ---
    The Xian Jia Lan Wu...
[01:39] ---
    At last, the sword of the ruler
    of the world is mine...
[01:49] ---
    Damn you...
[01:51] ---
    Just what the hell do you think you're doing
    while others are trying to enjoy the night?!
[01:57] ---
    You piece of scum! You'll pay for this!
[02:02] ---
    What?!
[02:03] ---
    Those who stand in the way shall be cut down.
[02:09] ---
    Not bad.
[02:11] ---
    I can see how you managed
    to storm this place all by yourself!
[02:13] ---
    My objective is the conqueror's
    sword, the Xian Jia Lan Wu.
[02:17] ---
    It is only proper that I obtain it on my own.
[02:20] ---
    Enough of your nonsense!
[02:22] ---
    I won't even let you have a single rock!
[02:33] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[02:45] ---
    You made me use my right arm. Impressive.
[02:53] ---
    Damn...
[02:55] ---
    Don't touch the sword!
[03:05] ---
    D-damn you!
[03:07] ---
    I will overlook your insolence.
[03:09] ---
    Now leave the Xian Jia Lan Wu and begone.
[03:11] ---
    Like hell I will! Now I'm really mad!
[03:13] ---
    You're going down now! I swear it!
[03:17] ---
    Fool. That is the sword
    of the chosen conqueror.
[03:21] ---
    A measly insect cannot possibly draw it.
[03:23] ---
    Shut up!
[03:31] ---
    Th-that's...!
[03:43] ---
    What is this sword?!
[03:45] ---
    What?! You've chosen the Alkaid,
    Xian Jia Lan Wu?!
[03:49] ---
    No! That's not possible!
[03:53] ---
    My meeting the Alkaid here
    was also destined by the stars!
[03:56] ---
    Alkaid? What the hell are you talking about?!
[03:59] ---
    You shall fall before my cause!
[04:01] ---
    The hell with that, mustache freak!
[04:20] ---
    What was that shock wave just now?!
    Was that bastard holding back before?!
[04:33] ---
    Die!
[04:43] ---
    Although the Alkaid, you are but a boy.
[04:46] ---
    Your unsheathing of the sword poses little--
[04:48] ---
    What?!
[04:53] ---
    I- I'm not finished yet...
    Not until I avenge my friends...!
[05:04] ---
    Boy... You still intend to beleaguer me?!
[06:02] ---
    Fall, Alkaid!
[06:17] ---
    Lord Keiro! Welcome back!
[06:23] ---
    Oh! Look, men!
[06:26] ---
    At long last, the Xian Jia Lan Wu
    is in our Lord Keiro's possession!
[06:49] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    to our prime forever
[06:58] ---
    And I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[07:07] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    'cos I can't forget her°
[07:16] ---
    But I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[07:25] ---
    Try to scream
[07:28] ---
    Shattered dreams are
    made of stone and desperation
[07:37] ---
    Broken hearts blown in a
    freezing wind during winterlong
[07:42] ---
    Unspoken words floating on
    freezing wind during winterlong
[07:52] ---
    During winterlong
[08:08] ---
    In the heavens are seven stars.
    They are the stars of the Big Dipper.
[08:13] ---
    The seven stars:
[08:14] ---
    In other words, the heroes
    who are the Dipper Bearers;
[08:17] ---
    the karma in place since Creation;
[08:19] ---
    the transmigration of the wild gods;
[08:21] ---
    the tales of warriors.
[08:23] ---
    And, just as in this world
    there are yin and yang,
[08:27] ---
    so too are there the opposite poles
    of Dubhe and Alkaid in the Big Dipper.
[08:30] ---
    These two are "wild stars" that hold
    complete sway over the land.
[08:37] ---
    "Chapter One: Alkaid Roars"
[08:59] ---
    Found some!
[09:01] ---
    Hang in there, Taito!
[09:13] ---
    Master Sonnei. Senior Soei.
[09:15] ---
    Be at ease.
[09:16] ---
    We've been so busy with
    the funerals the past few days
[09:19] ---
    that we haven't had time to see you.
[09:21] ---
    I thank you again in my son's place, Ryuko.
[09:25] ---
    No, it was only dumb luck
    that I happened upon him.
[09:28] ---
    It seems my terrible sense of
    direction can be useful.
[09:32] ---
    No, it was in both of your destinies.
[09:35] ---
    You mean the karma of the stars?
[09:37] ---
    They say fools are tough,
    but it's a relief that he's all right
[09:40] ---
    and that we didn't
    have to give him a funeral.
[09:43] ---
    Please forgive me. If only I had
    arrived a little sooner...
[09:48] ---
    Don't say that.
[09:48] ---
    Had I not gone to Emei Shan
    for moon viewing that night...
[09:52] ---
    It was I who invited you
    to that moon viewing.
[09:55] ---
    Still, it's unbelievable to think that someone
    single-handedly managed to take on
[10:00] ---
    the renowned warriors of the Qing Long Platoon
    and the armed priests of Lian Tong Temple...
[10:03] ---
    Not even the Alkaid was a match for him...
[10:06] ---
    What did you just say, Master Sonnei?
[10:10] ---
    Taito! Taito!
[10:13] ---
    Taito!
[10:14] ---
    Hello, Master Sonnei!
[10:17] ---
    You're always in such high spirits, Laila.
[10:19] ---
    Not at all. My dumb brother
    makes me cry every day.
[10:26] ---
    Is he still not...?
[10:27] ---
    He'll be fine now.
    His wounds have nearly healed.
[10:30] ---
    Really?! In that case...
[10:32] ---
    ...get up already!
[10:37] ---
    Good morning, dumb brother!
[10:39] ---
    What the hell, Laila?! What's the big idea?!
    What's the big idea?!
[10:43] ---
    Why did you say that twice?
[10:44] ---
    Shut up! I'm gonna hit you for that!
[10:47] ---
    My dumb brother's mad now!
[10:49] ---
    You can't get away from me! Get back here!
[10:52] ---
    Who is she?
[10:54] ---
    Taito's younger sister. My daughter.
[11:00] ---
    Stop, Laila! Get back here!
[11:04] ---
    Sorry! Forgive me!
[11:10] ---
    Wh-what? What are you looking at?
[11:41] ---
    Kanyo's sword...
[11:45] ---
    In my eyes, Lian Tong Temple
    was my home; Tai Shan my garden.
[11:49] ---
    And the priests and the Qing Long Platoon
    members were my irreplaceable friends.
[11:54] ---
    And now they're all...
[11:58] ---
    Damn it!
[11:59] ---
    Taito!
[12:04] ---
    Taito! Stop it!
[12:12] ---
    Taito! That's not cool at all!
    Lashing out like that is pathetic!
[12:17] ---
    What?!
[12:18] ---
    You're completely wrong if you think
    you're the only one who's sad!
[12:22] ---
    We're the lucky ones.
[12:24] ---
    Those people can't even
    feel sadness anymore!
[12:28] ---
    I'm glad you didn't die.
[12:30] ---
    Just being able to feel that makes me happy.
[12:36] ---
    Laila. I'm strong, aren't I?
[12:41] ---
    Then why did I lose?!
[12:44] ---
    H-how... How should I know?!
[12:51] ---
    Medicinal herbs...
[12:58] ---
    Men don't care how other people feel at all!
[13:00] ---
    They're so hopeless!
[13:02] ---
    Stupid Taito!
[13:22] ---
    Why am I unable to draw it?
[13:27] ---
    Is that Alkaid boy still alive?
[13:31] ---
    Very well. If you will not choose me,
[13:35] ---
    then I will take the land by force.
[13:37] ---
    Come, Shimei.
[13:41] ---
    Impressive, Lord Keiro, that you can
    even detect the presence of a dead person.
[13:47] ---
    Go.
[13:48] ---
    Leave the Alkaid's destruction to me.
[13:57] ---
    Absolutely no one shall stand
    in my way to domination!
[14:02] ---
    The Xian Jia Lan Wu?!
[14:04] ---
    That's the symbol of the
    emperor of our Xian Empire!
[14:08] ---
    Indeed, it is the sword of conquerors.
[14:10] ---
    He who draws the Xian Jia
    Lan Wu will rule the world.
[14:14] ---
    Shouldn't it be in the
    emperor's possession then?
[14:17] ---
    A false one is.
[14:18] ---
    The real one was
    kept here at the Lian Tong Temple.
[14:22] ---
    Why is that?
[14:24] ---
    Because the current emperor couldn't draw it.
[14:27] ---
    He couldn't?!
[14:29] ---
    Being unable to unsheathe the sword of rulers
    would place his position as emperor at risk.
[14:33] ---
    So he secretly left it in our hands.
[14:39] ---
    Just how many lives were lost
    for one measly sword?!
[14:43] ---
    Then the bandit's intent
    was to steal the Xian Jia Lan Wu...
[14:47] ---
    Just who was he?
[14:49] ---
    Someone saw troops in the mountains.
[14:52] ---
    They carried black flags that said
    "Wolf" and red flags that said "Xian"...
[14:55] ---
    That can't be! Red "Xian"
    flags are carried by...!
[14:58] ---
    Yes. The main imperial army.
[15:02] ---
    Such foolishness. Stealing the sword
    won't amount to anything.
[15:06] ---
    Huh?
[15:08] ---
    It chooses its own master.
[15:11] ---
    The fact is that the current emperor
    wasn't chosen by the sword.
[15:15] ---
    The sword's master has already been decided.
[15:40] ---
    He'll pay for this. That
    mustached bastard will pay...
[15:47] ---
    I understand how he feels. But...
[15:52] ---
    Okay!
[15:57] ---
    Hey! Taito!
[16:04] ---
    That was dangerous!
[16:06] ---
    What's the big idea, Laila?!
    What's the big idea, Laila?!
[16:09] ---
    Why did you say that twice?
[16:10] ---
    Shut up! It's a habit of mine!
[16:14] ---
    Hey, Taito. I know you feel angry,
    but I don't want to see you like this!
[16:18] ---
    Wh-what brought that on?
[16:21] ---
    It's not like you!
[16:22] ---
    You need to always
    be cheerful and in high spirits!
[16:30] ---
    Laila. Thanks for the herbs.
[16:34] ---
    Now if only there was
    a medicine for curing stupidity.
[16:38] ---
    Stupidity causes other
    people so much trouble!
[16:40] ---
    Quit calling me stupid.
[16:42] ---
    Even if we're not related by blood,
    I still am your older brother.
[16:44] ---
    Thank goodness that we
    aren't related by blood!
[16:48] ---
    Hey! Are you insulting me?!
[17:08] ---
    Whoops, that was close.
    Looks like he has some skill.
[17:12] ---
    But not nearly enough.
    The Alkaid is no trifling thing like that.
[17:17] ---
    Isn't that right?
[17:21] ---
    Guess I'll lay a trap.
[17:36] ---
    It looks like it's going to rain.
    Just after I did the laundry, too...
[17:40] ---
    Hello, young lady.
[17:42] ---
    Who's there?!
[17:43] ---
    My boss left me with an
    errand to take care of.
[17:48] ---
    Can't say I care myself, though.
[17:51] ---
    What business do you have with me?!
[17:53] ---
    I only want to see what the Alkaid's
    capable of when he's serious.
[17:57] ---
    The Alkaid?!
[17:58] ---
    If he disappoints me,
    I'll exterminate him.
[18:00] ---
    That's it, basically.
[18:09] ---
    That was Laila!
[18:10] ---
    Laila!
[18:11] ---
    Laila! What happened?!
[18:19] ---
    Did something happen, Laila?
[18:21] ---
    S-stay away... Taito...
[18:24] ---
    What? I can't h--
[18:30] ---
    L- Laila?
[18:31] ---
    N-no... M-my body's moving on its own...
[18:34] ---
    You show yourself, Alkaid.
[18:38] ---
    The girl is my marionette.
[18:41] ---
    What?!
[18:42] ---
    Now, then. Let's see the power of the Alkaid.
[18:47] ---
    "Alkaid"? What the hell is that, anyway?!
[18:50] ---
    What? You don't know?
[18:52] ---
    S-stop this!
[18:55] ---
    "Everyone knows but he himself," huh...
[18:57] ---
    Alkaid is a conqueror's star;
    a sinful star that cuts down all
[19:02] ---
    with its tremendous power
    and guides the world to turmoil.
[19:05] ---
    What?!
[19:06] ---
    You were born bearing Alkaid's karma.
[19:09] ---
    You have a pattern on your body, right?
[19:12] ---
    And there's another star that Alkaid
    clashes with for domination: Dubhe.
[19:16] ---
    My boss Keiro, in other words.
[19:19] ---
    Damn you! Don't tell me you're that
    mustached bastard's henchman?!
[19:26] ---
    M-my body!
[19:29] ---
    Easy! All too easy, Alkaid!
[19:32] ---
    I thought you were lacking
    somewhat, but not this much!
[19:39] ---
    Taito!
[19:44] ---
    I'll tell you what you lack.
[19:47] ---
    Ambition, resolve, authority,
    knowledge, skepticism...
[19:52] ---
    ...and hate!
[19:56] ---
    What are you doing, you pervert?!
[19:58] ---
    You're one strong-willed cutie-pie!
    You might just be my type!
[20:03] ---
    D-damn you! Get away from Laila!
[20:12] ---
    There are some people out there
[20:14] ---
    who get angrier from their
    friends' pain than their own.
[20:19] ---
    Is this where the heart is?
[20:24] ---
    Stop it, damn you! Stop it!
[20:27] ---
    Sure, I'll stop. Instead...
[20:32] ---
    Laila!
[20:34] ---
    What did you do?!
[20:35] ---
    She's going to strangle herself
[20:37] ---
    and rip her flesh and shatter
    her bones in doing so...
[20:40] ---
    This will be a real sight!
[20:44] ---
    That's a good look. Just how I like it!
[20:48] ---
    Damn you! I swear I'll get you for this!
[20:51] ---
    How empty that sounds!
[20:53] ---
    What can you possibly do now?
[20:56] ---
    Taito...
[20:58] ---
    You're powerless.
[21:00] ---
    That's right. You're powerless!
[21:03] ---
    Just as you couldn't save your friends,
[21:05] ---
    so too will you watch
    your own dear sister die!
[21:24] ---
    This is...!
[21:26] ---
    What is this menacing energy?!
[21:30] ---
    Taito...
[21:37] ---
    See, you do have it in ya.
[21:41] ---
    That's it.
[21:43] ---
    That's the hate you were lacking!
[21:48] ---
    How many centuries has it been
[21:50] ---
    since the stars of Alkaid
    and Dubhe have appeared?
[21:54] ---
    This is exciting!
[22:12] ---
    In those days,
    you believed in more dreams
[22:23] ---
    than could fit in your little hands
[22:31] ---
    Don't look like that,
    don't give in°
[22:42] ---
    Even inside me you're shining brightly now
[22:52] ---
    Please notice
[22:56] ---
    You can stay your more
    honest, open self
[23:02] ---
    I'll be by your side
    and act as a signpost
[23:12] ---
    So we can just walk beneath
    this great big sky together
[23:22] ---
    because you aren't alone
[23:33] ---
    The star awakes and takes action!
[23:36] ---
    Sir Taito appears to be reacting to my star!
[23:39] ---
    My father always said he didn't
    want Taito to awaken.
[23:44] ---
    He wanted him to live
    peacefully as a normal person.
[23:47] ---
    You'll destroy yourself, Sir Taito!
[23:49] ---
    Is the party finally starting?
[23:52] ---
    Those harboring the stars meet,
    their destinies intertwining.
[23:56] ---
    On Hero Tales, "Chapter Two:
    The Karma of Mizar."
[24:12] ---
    "See you next time!"
[24:12] ---
    My star is resonating!
