[00:25] ---
    Leader. Why are we in such a hurry?
[00:29] ---
    Just what awaits us in the capital?
[00:32] ---
    Something is amiss with the twinkling
    of the Big Dipper's stars.
[00:35] ---
    The twinkling of the Big Dipper's stars?
[00:38] ---
    The Two Celestial Deities...
[00:40] ---
    The two who harbor the
    karma of Alkaid and Dubhe
[00:42] ---
    and bring turmoil to the land...
[00:45] ---
    And it looks like the Alkaid
    and Dubhe have just collided...
[00:53] ---
    It is the karma of the Five Divine Warriors
[00:55] ---
    to act as breakwaters
    for the Celestial Deities.
[01:01] ---
    In which case, I have no choice but to go.
[01:18] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    to our prime forever
[01:27] ---
    And I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[01:36] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    'cos I can't forget her°
[01:45] ---
    But I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[01:54] ---
    Try to scream
[01:57] ---
    Shattered dreams are
    made of stone and desperation
[02:06] ---
    Broken hearts blown in a
    freezing wind during winterlong
[02:11] ---
    Unspoken words floating on
    freezing wind during winterlong
[02:21] ---
    During winterlong
[02:45] ---
    Keiro!
[02:49] ---
    Keiro... is my father?!
[02:55] ---
    Time to die, Keiro!
[03:02] ---
    I, Kocho, won't let you
    lay a finger on Lord Keiro!
[03:06] ---
    Fire!
[03:15] ---
    Hey, you bastard! That's not fair!
    Fight me man-to-man!
[03:20] ---
    Forget about Keiro! Getting away
    from these guys is more important!
[03:25] ---
    Get away how?!
[03:28] ---
    Ryuko! The Paradise Cave!
    If we escape into that...!
[03:32] ---
    The Paradise Cave...
[03:39] ---
    Let's go! It's the only chance we have!
[03:42] ---
    "Chapter Thirteen:
    The Two Celestial Deities"
[03:52] ---
    That's it!
[03:54] ---
    There they are! They're fleeing
    into the Paradise Cave!
[04:11] ---
    Mustached bastard! I will be back!
[04:15] ---
    I will beat the crap out of you!
[04:17] ---
    Let's go!
[04:22] ---
    They destroyed the cave
    to seal the entrance!
[04:32] ---
    Now you, men!
[04:34] ---
    What are you doing?!
    Jump! Jump across!
[04:37] ---
    Never mind them. A large
    force will only slow us down.
[04:41] ---
    The two of us will be more than enough.
[04:43] ---
    But the inside of the Paradise
    Cave is like a labyrinth!
[04:47] ---
    I'm not sure we can successfully find them...
[04:49] ---
    If the heavens call for a battle,
[04:51] ---
    then the Alkaid and I will face each other!
[05:14] ---
    My most sincere apologies!
[05:16] ---
    The moment I learned he was a wanted man,
[05:19] ---
    I was scared stiff and could do
    nothing but watch as he fled!
[05:23] ---
    Scared senseless, I was!
[05:26] ---
    You don't seem like
    that sort of coward to me...
[05:28] ---
    No, despite how I look,
[05:31] ---
    on the inside I'm as frail as a maiden...
[05:36] ---
    Night dew is terrible for the body.
    You should probably be off.
[05:40] ---
    You'll regret this, priest.
[05:42] ---
    It cannot be helped.
[05:49] ---
    Huh? I shouldn't have, Shokaku?
[05:53] ---
    Choka asked to crush a rebellion,
    so I gave my permission as usual...
[05:58] ---
    What did Lady Choka say about the enemy?
[06:01] ---
    Only that they were rebels...
[06:04] ---
    Should I not have allowed it?
[06:07] ---
    You have done nothing wrong, Your Majesty.
[06:10] ---
    Oh. That's good, then...
[06:25] ---
    That was scary!
    I thought we were goners!
[06:29] ---
    There's nothing to worry about now.
[06:31] ---
    Did people make this cave?
[06:35] ---
    The Paradise Cave is a training
    ground dug out of a crag
[06:39] ---
    by Tong You Temple ascetics
    over several centuries.
[06:42] ---
    So every member of the temple
    has a map of it in their head. But...
[06:47] ---
    ...the Xuan Lang Platoon is sure to get lost.
[06:50] ---
    Plus our side also knows the secret exits!
[06:53] ---
    Yep.
[06:58] ---
    This way.
[07:09] ---
    --Kocho.
    - -Sir?
[07:11] ---
    Taki's birthday is approaching.
[07:14] ---
    Oh, you remembered it?!
[07:16] ---
    Taki is now my daughter and will
    someday be the wife of the emperor.
[07:20] ---
    We must celebrate on a grand scale.
[07:23] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:28] ---
    I, too, had a child.
[07:30] ---
    What?! Truly?! I never knew that!
[07:34] ---
    What became of this child?
[07:36] ---
    I abandoned him on the day I swore
    to conquer the path of domination.
[07:40] ---
    M-my word!
[07:41] ---
    It was sixteen years ago.
[07:44] ---
    I felt that a child was of no use
    on my path of domination.
[07:48] ---
    If the heavens will it, then he is
    likely still alive somewhere.
[08:03] ---
    I hope Master Ryusho is all right...
[08:05] ---
    I'm sure he'll be fine.
[08:08] ---
    He was a great guy!
[08:10] ---
    My old man's a pretty bold guy,
[08:12] ---
    but yours is manly and hearty
    and a really great dad, Ryuko!
[08:18] ---
    Yes...
[08:22] ---
    That's right. General Keiro
    of the Xian Empire...
[08:26] ---
    is your father.
[08:29] ---
    No... That can't be...
[08:38] ---
    It's nice and cold!
[08:39] ---
    So, if we leave you to handle Keiro,
[08:43] ---
    the question is how we deal
    with the Xuan Lang Platoon...
[08:45] ---
    That bastard's pretty
    impressive for a villain,
[08:49] ---
    leading so many men like that.
[08:51] ---
    I guess our only choice now
[08:54] ---
    is to find the rest of the Divine
    Warriors like Ryusho said...
[08:57] ---
    The rest of them?
[08:58] ---
    All five of 'em together should
    be able to run interference for you!
[09:01] ---
    All of the Five Divine Warriors
    together?! That's so cool!
[09:05] ---
    Isn't it though, Laila?!
[09:07] ---
    Five people against that
    entire army? Sounds rough.
[09:11] ---
    It won't work?
[09:12] ---
    We don't even know if the other
    two will side with us or not.
[09:16] ---
    The Five Divine Warriors are
    supposed to act as breakwaters.
[09:19] ---
    There's no guarantee that they'll join us.
[09:22] ---
    Don't worry.
[09:24] ---
    At the very least, the three
    here won't side against you.
[09:28] ---
    Right, Ryuko?
[09:35] ---
    Is it me, or has he been acting weird lately?
[09:40] ---
    K- Keiro...
[09:42] ---
    "Keiro"
[10:00] ---
    Be more careful, Ryuko!
[10:03] ---
    Sorry. I was lost in thought.
[10:05] ---
    Man! This isn't like you!
[10:08] ---
    I said I am sorry!
[10:15] ---
    What's his problem?!
[10:28] ---
    We're here. The exit isn't far now.
[10:31] ---
    Wh-what is this place...?
[10:51] ---
    It's huge!
[10:57] ---
    What was that?!
[11:15] ---
    Ryuko!
[11:19] ---
    Ryuko! Taito!
[11:22] ---
    Whew, that was close!
    You okay, Ryuko?
[11:30] ---
    Ryuko! Knock it off!
[11:32] ---
    Quit acting like a wimp!
    We're in real trouble here!
[11:36] ---
    What's with that look?!
[11:38] ---
    C'mon, Ryuko! We need you
    to pull yourself together
[11:41] ---
    if we wanna keep everyone together
    and beat that mustached bastard!
[11:44] ---
    I'm really counting on you!
[11:46] ---
    Do not tell me what to do!
[11:49] ---
    Ryuko...
[11:50] ---
    The Divine Warriors
    are not the Alkaid's servants!
[11:53] ---
    I never wanted the Alkaid
    and Dubhe to collide to begin with!
[11:58] ---
    I resent being called your comrade!
[12:01] ---
    What are you saying?
[12:03] ---
    Taito.
[12:05] ---
    My life has been a terrible
    mess ever since I met you!
[12:10] ---
    Making an enemy of an imperial general
[12:12] ---
    and being driven from my home
    and forced to wander through caves...!
[12:15] ---
    I've had enough! I want
    no more to do with you!
[12:32] ---
    You're really letting him have it, Mizar kid.
[12:36] ---
    Now, then! How will you entertain me?
[12:48] ---
    Are you serious, Ryuko?
[12:52] ---
    I'm sorry. I lashed out.
    I'm not thinking straight.
[12:57] ---
    Ryuko...
[12:59] ---
    There it is again!
[13:00] ---
    What is this?!
[13:04] ---
    It's getting closer...
[13:14] ---
    M-mustached bastard!
[13:15] ---
    Keiro...! How did he find us?!
[13:20] ---
    So the heavens do want a battle.
[13:23] ---
    A battle between the Alkaid
    and Dubhe, you and me...
[13:27] ---
    We have no choice but to fight now!
[13:30] ---
    The Xuan Lang Platoon isn't here,
    and we outnumber them!
[13:34] ---
    Let's do it, Taito!
[13:35] ---
    Yeah! I've been waiting for this!
[13:37] ---
    Let's fight, you bastard!
[13:46] ---
    Rinmei! Protect Laila!
[13:48] ---
    Got it!
[13:49] ---
    Let's go, Taito! Ryuko!
    Simultaneous attack!
[13:52] ---
    Yeah!
[13:56] ---
    Ryuko!
[13:57] ---
    What's the matter, Ryuko?!
[14:02] ---
    What?!
[14:07] ---
    Hosei!
[14:11] ---
    Taito!
[14:12] ---
    You're dealing with me!
[14:19] ---
    Outer-channel Energy Manipulation.
[14:21] ---
    Your reliance on techniques
    is proof of your weakness!
[14:24] ---
    What?!
[14:33] ---
    How dare you use
    such a cheap trick on Hosei!
[14:36] ---
    It appears the karma
    of the stars will not allow
[14:39] ---
    my forces or your friends
    to lend assistance...
[14:42] ---
    In which case, now is the time
    to end this with our fists!
[14:49] ---
    Decorate my path to domination
    with your blood, Alkaid!
[14:58] ---
    Shut up! You're the one who's goin' down!
[15:09] ---
    Taito...
[15:24] ---
    This is bad. The Alkaid
    and Dubhe are seriously colliding!
[15:31] ---
    Inner-channel Energy Manipulation...
[15:34] ---
    So you've learned to master it somewhat...
[15:37] ---
    Surprised at all?
[15:39] ---
    T- Taito!
[15:41] ---
    Ryuko. Why did you...
[15:44] ---
    Wh-why?! Why do you
    people belittle His Majesty
[15:48] ---
    and assist with Keiro's foul ambitions?!
[15:51] ---
    Foul, they are not! They only
    appear that way to your clouded eyes!
[15:56] ---
    Lord Keiro's fight is a just one
    ordained by the heavens!
[16:03] ---
    I don't rely on cheap tricks!
    I'll send you to hell in one blow!
[16:08] ---
    Absurdity!
[16:33] ---
    If Keiro is my father, then that isn't
    a fight between Alkaid and Dubhe;
[16:38] ---
    it's between friend and father!
[16:39] ---
    Is there no way to stop my friend
    and father from killing one another?!
[16:44] ---
    Alkaid! Do you know why I cast
    myself into battle like this?!
[16:51] ---
    To gain strength!
[16:54] ---
    A man's strength is determined
[16:55] ---
    by the number of lives he takes
    and the amount of blood he sheds!
[17:00] ---
    Cruel, absolute strength will be
    how I attain total domination!
[17:04] ---
    Just... Just what do you plan to do
    with such blood-soaked strength?!
[17:09] ---
    I shall bring new order and eternal
    peace to the ruined Xian Empire!
[17:14] ---
    What?!
[17:15] ---
    For that, I will gladly wear
    the title of slaughterer!
[17:23] ---
    Taito!
[17:27] ---
    Fear not.
[17:28] ---
    The many lives taken by my hand
    now live in my fists as my strength.
[17:34] ---
    Wh-what the hell do you think
    of people's lives as?!
[17:38] ---
    Once I bring peace to the empire,
[17:41] ---
    I am sure they will
    be able to rest in peace.
[17:44] ---
    Screw you...
[17:45] ---
    Naturally, I will also kill you
    and make your power mine.
[17:49] ---
    Screw you!
[17:54] ---
    Oh no! The Alkaid's power has taken over!
[18:09] ---
    Die, Alkaid!
[18:18] ---
    Taito!
[18:20] ---
    Taito! Wake up, Taito!
[18:27] ---
    Rinmei! Hosei!
[18:29] ---
    I'll hold off Keiro!
    Take Taito and escape!
[18:33] ---
    Ryuko...!
[18:34] ---
    What are you saying?!
[18:35] ---
    Quickly!
[18:42] ---
    Rinmei! No!
[18:44] ---
    So long, Ryuko!
[18:49] ---
    Is that them?!
[18:51] ---
    Pull up the castaways!
[19:09] ---
    Goodbye, Taito...
[19:30] ---
    I have been prepared to
    die from the very start.
[19:33] ---
    Do as you will.
[19:34] ---
    Acting as a shield
    to let your friend escape...
[19:37] ---
    Your manliness is admirable,
    even if you are an enemy.
[19:40] ---
    Sir! I implore that he be punished leniently!
[19:43] ---
    Absolutely not! He should
    be executed at once!
[19:49] ---
    Lord Keiro. I would like to speak with you.
[19:53] ---
    You're...!
[19:55] ---
    Sir Shokaku...!
[19:59] ---
    Please forgive my impoliteness.
[20:01] ---
    What do you want, Sir Shokaku?
[20:04] ---
    I've come to plead for this man's life.
[20:07] ---
    Ryuko's actions are no fault of his own;
    he has merely obeyed his karma.
[20:11] ---
    In terms of the stars' karma, the Divine
    Warriors only act as breakwaters
[20:15] ---
    for when the Celestial Deities collide.
[20:17] ---
    We are neither servants to the
    Alkaid nor enemies to the Dubhe.
[20:24] ---
    S- Sir Shokaku! You're...?!
[20:27] ---
    Alioth, one of the Five Divine Warriors.
[20:31] ---
    Lord Keiro. I have only one wish:
[20:34] ---
    that the Xian Empire
    have everlasting peace.
[20:37] ---
    I'll accept whatever
    it takes to make it happen.
[20:40] ---
    Ryuko shares that sentiment as well.
[20:44] ---
    What do you say, my lord?
[20:46] ---
    Mizar is the star of benevolence,
    loyalty, and filial piety.
[20:49] ---
    Why not take this opportunity
    to persuade Ryoko to accept his fate,
[20:54] ---
    and then place both of us
    under your command?
[20:57] ---
    Me, under Keiro's command?!
[21:00] ---
    Oh! That sounds interesting!
[21:02] ---
    This is absurd!
[21:04] ---
    You want us to place our trust
    in a man who was our enemy?!
[21:08] ---
    "Fight fire with fire"
[21:10] ---
    and "Change misfortune into a blessing"
    are other ways of putting it.
[21:14] ---
    Sir Ryuko.
[21:16] ---
    Do you have anything to ask him?
[21:24] ---
    You say you wish to bring new order
    and eternal peace to the empire.
[21:29] ---
    Are these words true?
[21:32] ---
    They are!
[21:52] ---
    Ryuko...
[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] ---
    He turns around,
    but his friend is not there.
[23:37] ---
    How did it turn out this way?!
    Someone answer me!
[23:41] ---
    Sorry. I've decided never to make
    meat and vegetable dumplings again.
[23:45] ---
    I thought I really understood Ryuko!
[23:50] ---
    But it turns out I knew nothing about him!
[23:53] ---
    With no way to heal the sadness,
    the ship sails along the river.
[23:57] ---
    On Hero Tales, "Chapter Fourteen:
    The Dou Ya Changes Course."
[24:12] ---
    "See you next time!"
[24:12] ---
    Tell me! How can I get
    out of being the Alkaid?!
