[00:14] ---
    A man's strength is determined
[00:16] ---
    by the number of lives he takes
    and the amount of blood he sheds!
[00:19] ---
    Cruel, absolute strength will be
    how I attain total domination!
[00:24] ---
    Just... Just what do you plan to do
    with such blood-soaked strength?!
[00:30] ---
    I shall bring new order and eternal
    peace to the ruined Xian Empire!
[00:35] ---
    What?!
[00:36] ---
    For that, I will gladly wear
    the title of slaughterer!
[00:46] ---
    Screw you!
[01:00] ---
    Die, Alkaid!
[01:17] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    to our prime forever
[01:26] ---
    And I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[01:35] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    'cos I can't forget her
[01:44] ---
    But I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[01:53] ---
    Try to scream
[01:56] ---
    Shattered dreams are
    made of stone and desperation
[02:05] ---
    Broken hearts blown in a
    freezing wind during winterlong
[02:11] ---
    Unspoken words floating on
    freezing wind during winterlong
[02:20] ---
    During winterlong
[02:39] ---
    Where am I?
[02:43] ---
    Laila! Ryuko!
[02:47] ---
    Hosei! Rinmei!
[03:00] ---
    Oh! There you are, Ryuko!
[03:03] ---
    Where are the others?
[03:08] ---
    What's the matter, Ryuko?
[03:12] ---
    H-hey, wait! Wait!
[03:18] ---
    Ryuko! Ryuko!
[03:23] ---
    Ryuko!
[03:25] ---
    Ryuko!
[03:32] ---
    Where am I?
[03:34] ---
    That's right! I was fighting
    that mustached bastard!
[03:39] ---
    What happened after that?
[03:41] ---
    Damn! I can't remember anything!
[03:52] ---
    A ship?!
[04:09] ---
    Ryuko! Where did this ship come from?!
[04:12] ---
    You're finally awake?
[04:16] ---
    You're...!
[04:17] ---
    "Chapter Fourteen:
    The Dou Ya Changes Course"
[04:26] ---
    What?!
[04:28] ---
    Then Ryuko stayed behind
    in the cave so we could escape?!
[04:35] ---
    How?! How did it turn out this way?!
[04:38] ---
    How?! Someone answer me!
[04:42] ---
    Tell me, Hosei!
[04:44] ---
    It was the only way...
[04:48] ---
    We all would've been killed
    if someone hadn't stayed.
[04:52] ---
    So Ryuko decided to...
[04:54] ---
    The hell with that! That's got
    nothing to do with anything!
[04:58] ---
    Abandoning a friend to escape...
    No one should ever do that!
[05:05] ---
    Take the ship back to the cave!
[05:08] ---
    Do you hear me?! Do it!
[05:11] ---
    It's too late!
[05:12] ---
    Several days have passed!
[05:14] ---
    Someone who was asleep
    at the most important time
[05:16] ---
    has no right to argue
    with me after the fact!
[05:19] ---
    What?!
[05:21] ---
    You live a carefree life.
[05:23] ---
    You pass out in the middle
    of a fight, sleep non-stop,
[05:28] ---
    and rant and rave
    the minute you wake up.
[05:30] ---
    You're like a little kid!
[05:31] ---
    What did you say?!
[05:34] ---
    Is Ryuko the only friend
    you don't want to lose?
[05:39] ---
    For Ryuko, you, Hosei, Laila
    and Rinmei were all dear friends.
[05:45] ---
    That's why he chose to sacrifice
    himself to let his friends live!
[05:50] ---
    They suppressed their frustration
    and escaped because they understood that!
[05:57] ---
    If you insist on whining about "friends,"
[05:59] ---
    then think about how
    Ryuko and the others felt.
[06:03] ---
    It hurt them hundreds of times more
    than you; you slept through it all.
[06:08] ---
    Taito...
[06:12] ---
    The men I sent to the
    cave will be back soon.
[06:16] ---
    Who knows, maybe
    we'll find something out.
[06:27] ---
    We've returned.
[06:29] ---
    How did it go?
[06:30] ---
    As expected, there was no one there.
[06:33] ---
    Keiro's army had already left as well.
[06:35] ---
    Did you find any clues at all?
[06:41] ---
    That's...!
[06:51] ---
    Rinmei...
[06:52] ---
    I take it that's Ryuko's?
[07:01] ---
    Even after this,
    I can't go and avenge him?!
[07:06] ---
    Well?!
[07:07] ---
    No. The result is clear.
[07:09] ---
    Let me go! Ryuko risked
    his life to save me!
[07:14] ---
    So I want to risk
    my own life to repay him!
[07:18] ---
    You're saying I shouldn't?!
[07:20] ---
    If you want to return
    Ryuko's kindness, stay alive.
[07:23] ---
    You owe your life to him, after all.
[07:26] ---
    Plus, if the Mizar put his life
    on the line to act as a breakwater,
[07:31] ---
    then I will follow
    the karma of the stars too.
[07:34] ---
    We can't let the Alkaid and Dubhe
    collide again that easily.
[07:39] ---
    Th-that's...!
[07:40] ---
    ...the pattern of a Divine Warrior!
[07:43] ---
    Megrez...
[07:45] ---
    No way! You're a Divine
    Warrior too, Koyo?!
[07:49] ---
    Break's over, men! The Dou Ya
    will now make for Lian Tong Temple!
[07:54] ---
    We will work around the clock! Hurry!
[07:56] ---
    Right!
[07:58] ---
    You know about Lian Tong Temple?!
[07:59] ---
    Yeah. There's nowhere else to go,
[08:02] ---
    plus it's probably the best way
    to get back on your feet.
[08:06] ---
    I don't really wanna go there,
    but I guess I have no choice.
[08:15] ---
    Oh... The tides have changed...
[08:19] ---
    The stars are really
    coming and going now.
[08:22] ---
    Ol' Taito must be quite confused.
[08:37] ---
    Hey, Taito. Isn't it nice, traveling by boat?
[08:41] ---
    It's great weather,
    and the wind is nice and calm!
[08:44] ---
    Oh, I'm so glad we met Koyo!
[08:51] ---
    C'mon, Taito. Cheer up.
[08:53] ---
    You'll only get gloomier
    and gloomier if you stay like this.
[08:57] ---
    Hosei is helping row the ship...
[08:59] ---
    Rinmei is the head chef...
[09:01] ---
    They've both found
    their place on the ship.
[09:04] ---
    And the Wo Jin Squad members
    are all a lot nicer than they look!
[09:09] ---
    You should do something too, Taito!
[09:12] ---
    I know! Enki said they need
    more people to keep watch!
[09:16] ---
    Laila...
[09:17] ---
    Y-yeah?
[09:21] ---
    What was the last thing Ryuko said?
[09:30] ---
    Rinmei! Hosei!
[09:32] ---
    I'll hold off Keiro!
    Take Taito and escape!
[09:36] ---
    Ryuko, Hosei and Rinmei were
    all as commendable as Koyo said.
[09:43] ---
    They didn't hesitate
    to do what they had to do.
[09:49] ---
    I thought I'd come to really understand
    Ryuko in that short amount of time.
[09:55] ---
    We were on the same page; we didn't
    even need to talk to communicate.
[10:00] ---
    But it turns out I knew
    nothing about him!
[10:04] ---
    He was right.
[10:06] ---
    He only wound up in that lonely cave
[10:09] ---
    because he was so involved
    with me, the Alkaid...
[10:13] ---
    Taito...
[10:14] ---
    But it's true! This wouldn't have
    happened if I wasn't the Alkaid!
[10:20] ---
    You can't say that for sure!
[10:22] ---
    Ryuko was a Divine Warrior!
    He couldn't avoid the karma of the stars!
[10:27] ---
    You're wrong!
[10:28] ---
    If he hadn't met me,
[10:30] ---
    he'd have lived a nice life with
    Ryusho and Rinmei and the others!
[10:36] ---
    I dragged him into this...
[10:41] ---
    I killed him...
[10:44] ---
    Not just him. All the Qing Long
    Platoon members and Koei too!
[10:49] ---
    If only I hadn't gotten involved
    with them, they'd all be alive now!
[10:58] ---
    How can you say that?
    How can you say that, Taito?
[11:02] ---
    You bastard, making Laila cry!
[11:06] ---
    Could your logic be
    any more self-centered?!
[11:10] ---
    Hosei!
[11:12] ---
    Ryuko wound up like
    this because of you?!
[11:15] ---
    My master died because of the Alkaid?!
[11:18] ---
    I've had enough of your crap!
[11:20] ---
    You think you're that great, huh?!
[11:24] ---
    Stop, Hosei!
[11:25] ---
    Sorry, Laila!
[11:27] ---
    Cut the crap!
[11:29] ---
    You being here or not
[11:31] ---
    wouldn't change anything for me,
    my master, Ryuko or anyone!
[11:35] ---
    So just get off your
    ego trip, you dumbass!
[11:38] ---
    Hosei... Stop...
[11:41] ---
    It's okay... Go ahead
    and beat me to death...
[11:46] ---
    I don't mind if you kill me;
    I've caused you a lot of trouble...
[11:49] ---
    Then I won't have to
    be the Alkaid anymore.
[11:59] ---
    Taito! Pull yourself together, Taito!
[12:05] ---
    Just what is this
    "karma of the stars" thing?
[12:13] ---
    What will become of the Alkaid?
[12:15] ---
    I don't know.
[12:16] ---
    Whatever happens, in the end
    it won't change what we must do.
[12:22] ---
    I know. It's just...
[12:25] ---
    It's just what?
[12:26] ---
    As someone trying to achieve the same
    things, I want him to get back on his feet.
[12:54] ---
    Team ♪3, it's your shift!
    Hurry to your posts, please!
[13:01] ---
    Team ♪1, it's mealtime!
[13:07] ---
    Sheesh! You never grow tired of it!
    Is cuisine that rare to you?
[13:13] ---
    It sure is! I never imagined I'd get
    a decent meal aboard the Dou Ya!
[13:19] ---
    Yeah! I look forward to our meals now
    ever since you came on board!
[13:23] ---
    Seafood dumplings! Fried rice!
    Grilled shrimp in chili sauce!
[13:27] ---
    Everything you make is incredible!
[13:29] ---
    Hearing that makes it worth the trouble!
[13:32] ---
    Hey, Rinmei! I'd love some meat
    and vegetable dumplings next!
[13:37] ---
    Yeah! I could go for that!
    I bet yours are really good!
[13:43] ---
    I agree! Oh, just thinking
    about it makes me drool!
[13:46] ---
    Yeah! Yeah!
[13:49] ---
    Please, Rinmei!
[13:53] ---
    Sorry. I've decided never to make
    meat and vegetable dumplings again.
[13:57] ---
    O-oh, we didn't mean to be
    pushy or anything. Right?
[14:02] ---
    Yeah...
[14:03] ---
    We'll be happy with anything you make!
[14:06] ---
    Yes! We'll be more than happy!
[14:22] ---
    Ryuko...
[14:46] ---
    What are you doing, Taito?!
[14:50] ---
    What on earth are you doing?!
[14:53] ---
    Leave me alone, Rinmei!
    It's all because of this stupid pattern!
[14:58] ---
    Stop that!
[15:00] ---
    Tell me, Rinmei! How can
    I get out of being the Alkaid?!
[15:08] ---
    I don't want to be the Alkaid anymore!
[15:10] ---
    As long as I'm the Alkaid, I'll only
    bring more misfortune to everyone!
[15:14] ---
    I don't want that anymore!
    Which is why I...!
[15:24] ---
    It isn't your fault.
    It isn't your fault at all.
[15:29] ---
    Rinmei...
[15:31] ---
    I don't blame you one bit.
[15:33] ---
    Neither would Ryuko. So stop this.
[15:56] ---
    You can't sleep?
[16:02] ---
    Your Majesty.
[16:05] ---
    I'm sorry. Did I disturb your sleep?
[16:09] ---
    No, I couldn't fall asleep either.
[16:13] ---
    You too, Your Majesty?
[16:16] ---
    Incidentally, Taki,
    I take it you've heard?
[16:20] ---
    Y-yes. But...
[16:23] ---
    Even I realize there are many
    ulterior motives at work.
[16:27] ---
    Even so, it makes no difference.
[16:32] ---
    My feelings will remain the same.
[16:54] ---
    Okay! All done!
[16:57] ---
    How'd it go, ol' Koyo?! How much
    more beautiful is Laila now?!
[17:02] ---
    She looks exquisite!
[17:04] ---
    Let him see!
[17:06] ---
    O-okay.
[17:13] ---
    L- Laila!
[17:17] ---
    Oh!
[17:18] ---
    What do you think?
    Am I good or what?
[17:21] ---
    Actually, it's because
    she looks good to begin with.
[17:24] ---
    Yes. Plus she's young
    and has beautiful skin.
[17:27] ---
    Th-that's not true...
[17:29] ---
    It is true! It is true!
[17:32] ---
    Master! I'm so happy, being able
    to marry such a beautiful girl!
[17:36] ---
    Is it really okay for me to hog
    all of the world's happiness like this?!
[17:43] ---
    Do I really look that good, Hosei?
[17:46] ---
    You do! You do! You totally do!
[17:50] ---
    In that case... I'll go show Taito!
[17:57] ---
    Taito! Look! Look!
[18:00] ---
    What do you think? I had Koyo
    do this! He likes makeup!
[18:06] ---
    He says putting it on changes
    the way you feel on the inside too!
[18:13] ---
    Taito?
[18:15] ---
    Who cares about makeup?
    What are you so excited about?!
[18:19] ---
    Ryuko's gone, you know!
    How can you smile?!
[18:23] ---
    That wasn't why I put it on...
[18:26] ---
    Then why did you?!
[18:28] ---
    Did you think Ryuko would've liked
    seeing you like that or something?!
[18:33] ---
    That's enough!
[18:36] ---
    I do understand your desire
    to abandon your role as the Alkaid.
[18:39] ---
    But what's got you depressed now
    isn't the Alkaid or the karma of the stars.
[18:45] ---
    It's your own heart!
[18:47] ---
    What did you say?!
[18:48] ---
    Damn kid. I guess I'll have to
    open your eyes myself.
[18:54] ---
    You always act so high and mighty!
    What would you possibly know?!
[19:03] ---
    That didn't hurt one bit!
[19:22] ---
    Too slow.
[19:28] ---
    You cannot beat me
    in your current frame of mind!
[19:35] ---
    I can't do anything...?
[19:39] ---
    I can't give up being the Alkaid,
    avenge Ryuko, or anything else?
[19:45] ---
    That's right! You're powerless!
[19:50] ---
    Tomorrow we take a break!
    Take the ship ashore at first light!
[19:54] ---
    Right!
[19:56] ---
    Damn it! What could you
    possibly understand?!
[20:00] ---
    The lousy boss of some water bandits
    is in no position to lecture me!
[20:05] ---
    Five years ago...
[20:07] ---
    ...a village was raided by the
    Xuan Lang Platoon led by Keiro,
[20:11] ---
    who was a growing power at the time.
[20:17] ---
    I don't know what justification
    he gave, but it was clearly a lie.
[20:22] ---
    E- Enki?
[20:25] ---
    Their homes were burned, their food
    was stolen, their fields were torn up,
[20:30] ---
    and countless innocent
    villagers were slaughtered.
[20:33] ---
    The only survivors were two children
    who had gone to play on a boat.
[20:39] ---
    Our leader and I were those children.
[20:46] ---
    When we returned to the village,
    we could hardly recognize
[20:49] ---
    our mothers, fathers
    or other people we knew.
[20:53] ---
    Enyu, my older brother and our
    leader's best friend, was among them.
[20:59] ---
    Everyone in the Wo Jin Squad
    has had their families or friends
[21:02] ---
    taken away by Keiro
    and his Xuan Lang Platoon.
[21:06] ---
    We all have scores to settle with them.
[21:09] ---
    Even our leader, of course.
[21:12] ---
    Then why don't you just
    go and kick Keiro's ass?!
[21:16] ---
    If he understands how I feel,
    why did he stop me?!
[21:19] ---
    Why do you think he did?
[21:22] ---
    I don't know about
    the karma of the stars.
[21:26] ---
    But everyone lives bearing
    their own personal fate.
[21:30] ---
    They have to, don't they?
[21:35] ---
    Just as I can't escape my fate,
[21:38] ---
    neither can you escape
    from being the Alkaid, Taito.
[21:48] ---
    So it's up to you to figure
    out what you should do.
[22:07] ---
    When the birds that forgot
    their song even lost the ability to fly
[22:17] ---
    the sun through the trees
    shed its light and cried loudly
[22:27] ---
    What will the morning sun
    be telling us by shining again?
[22:33] ---
    Now, then...
[22:38] ---
    I'll clap my hands,
    so that it will reach you
[22:44] ---
    I'll clap my hands,
    it's still not quite enough
[22:49] ---
    I'll clap my hands,
    with feelings of love welling up
[22:55] ---
    I'll clap my hands,
    even if time comes to an end
[23:00] ---
    My feelings for you that I never
    got to say I will now speak out!
[23:05] ---
    Every go every where,
    arrive aboard this song, feel now!
[23:13] ---
    I'll clap my hands
[23:18] ---
    Every go every where,
    arrive aboard this song, feel now!
[23:33] ---
    Taito's broken heart
    took everything from him.
[23:37] ---
    The enemy was coming right at you!
    What kind of joke was that?!
[23:40] ---
    To reject the stars is to reject yourself!
[23:44] ---
    Tell me! What is the Alkaid?!
    What is the karma of the stars?!
[23:47] ---
    A brightly shining star greatly affects
    all the other stars. For better or worse.
[23:53] ---
    Who awaits the lost spirit
    atop the towering mountain?
[23:57] ---
    On Hero Tales, "Chapter Fifteen:
    Alkaid's Guidepost."
[24:12] ---
    What is your answer, Taito?!
[24:12] ---
    "See you next time!"
