[00:41] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    to our prime forever
[00:50] ---
    And I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[00:59] ---
    I'll never say good-bye
    'cos I can't forget her°
[01:08] ---
    But I feel like dumb,
    I don't know why
[01:17] ---
    Try to scream
[01:20] ---
    Shattered dreams are
    made of stone and desperation
[01:29] ---
    Broken hearts blown in a
    freezing wind during winterlong
[01:34] ---
    Unspoken words floating on
    freezing wind during winterlong
[01:44] ---
    During winterlong
[02:09] ---
    What's taking you guys so long?!
    Why do you have to walk so slow?!
[02:12] ---
    What are you getting mad for, Taito?
[02:15] ---
    It's going to be a long journey;
    we'll get exhausted if we start rushing now.
[02:18] ---
    Shut up! What if that
    mustached bastard gets away
[02:21] ---
    while you're sitting around
    saying stuff like that?!
[02:24] ---
    Please calm down, Sir Taito.
[02:27] ---
    We're talking about
    a general of the Xian Empire.
[02:30] ---
    Just where would he run away to?
[02:32] ---
    Wh-where? Well...
[02:35] ---
    S-some place I don't know!
[02:37] ---
    Now you're just being defiant.
[02:40] ---
    Something wrong with that?!
    Something wrong with that?!
[02:42] ---
    Don't repeat yourself!
[02:43] ---
    There is nothing to fear.
    We will find Keiro at the capital.
[02:48] ---
    Especially if that is the karma of the stars.
[02:52] ---
    However, I do not think you can
    defeat Keiro at your current strength.
[02:56] ---
    What?!
[02:58] ---
    H-hey, wait! I only lost because
    he caught me off guard!
[03:02] ---
    In a real fight, I'd beat that guy easy!
[03:04] ---
    Would you be willing to hear me out?
[03:07] ---
    We can hurry ahead after that if you'd like.
[03:11] ---
    And as long as we're here,
    let's wash off the sweat of the road!
[03:15] ---
    "Chapter Three: The Pledge
    of Energy Manipulation"
[03:32] ---
    So, what do you have to tell me?
[03:35] ---
    Do you know the Eight Great Styles?
[03:39] ---
    Of course I do!
[03:41] ---
    Then please name the eight parts.
[03:45] ---
    Okay! The fist. The staff. Rope, bow,
[03:49] ---
    spear, sword. And then there's...
[03:53] ---
    Huh? That's only six.
[03:55] ---
    Come to think of it, yeah.
    You would expect there to be eight...
[03:59] ---
    It isn't surprising that you don't know.
[04:01] ---
    The remaining two are known
    as Energy Manipulation.
[04:04] ---
    Energy Manipulation?
[04:06] ---
    Yes. Technically, there are two types of it,
[04:10] ---
    but one has died out because no one uses it.
[04:14] ---
    Hold on! I don't wanna hear you
    spout off trivia you know!
[04:18] ---
    What does that have to do with me not
    being able to beat that mustached bastard?!
[04:27] ---
    W-wow...!
[04:31] ---
    This is Energy Manipulation.
[04:33] ---
    That wasn't much, given
    that this is just cloth, but...
[04:39] ---
    Rumor has it Keiro is the greatest
    Energy Manipulation user alive.
[04:45] ---
    If you cannot at least control the flow of
    your own energy,
[04:49] ---
    you do not stand a chance.
[04:51] ---
    That is what I am trying to say.
[04:56] ---
    Energy Manipulation!
    Energy Manipulation!
[04:59] ---
    He is so dumb...
[05:06] ---
    Wow! What a big boat!
[05:11] ---
    It's the Wo Jin Squad... To think that
    they've come to such a rural port...
[05:26] ---
    Wow!
[05:27] ---
    This is amazing, Taito!
    Look at all the shops and buildings!
[05:31] ---
    Look at how imposing that rock is!
[05:35] ---
    Yeah. But...
[05:37] ---
    there's something
    exhausted and weak about this place.
[05:40] ---
    Yeah, now that you mention it...
[05:42] ---
    I've heard that imperial officials
    continually exploit this town
[05:47] ---
    to fill their own pockets.
[05:50] ---
    Perhaps that is one reason why.
[05:52] ---
    Officials?!
[05:53] ---
    Now I see!
[05:55] ---
    The Qing Long guys did talk about
[05:59] ---
    how officials have been doing whatever
    they please in the capital and in the country
[06:02] ---
    ever since the new child emperor
    acceded to the throne...
[06:07] ---
    Damn it!
[06:08] ---
    That mustached bastard,
    the kid emperor, the officials!
[06:13] ---
    The empire is nothing but a bunch of ass--
[06:15] ---
    Taito! Not so loud!
[06:18] ---
    I will search for lodging for the night.
[06:21] ---
    Why don't you two enjoy yourselves
    and have a look around the boat?
[06:26] ---
    You don't mind?!
[06:27] ---
    You're so understanding, Ryuko!
[06:29] ---
    Okay, see you later!
[06:31] ---
    Absolutely not!
[06:32] ---
    There's no way at all?!
[06:34] ---
    C'mon, just for a minute!
    Let us see the inside of the boat!
[06:37] ---
    Stubborn kid!
[06:39] ---
    The likes of you would never
    be allowed on the Dou Ya,
[06:42] ---
    the ship of the glorious Wo Jin Squad!
[06:44] ---
    Wo Jin Squad, Floating Pod, whatever!
[06:47] ---
    Just c'mon! Please?!
[06:49] ---
    Taito...
[06:56] ---
    Are you okay?! Little Sister Laila!
[06:59] ---
    Curses! Your sickness will just not go away!
[07:04] ---
    Listen, Big Brother...
    I have just one favor to ask...
[07:09] ---
    What is it?! Tell me!
[07:10] ---
    I want to see the inside of that ship...
[07:15] ---
    Just once, before I die...
[07:17] ---
    Okay! I understand!
[07:19] ---
    I will ask that nice Mr. Sailor for you now!
[07:23] ---
    So... Are we still not allowed on?
[07:26] ---
    Of course you aren't!
[07:29] ---
    Damn cheapskate.
[07:31] ---
    My acting was perfect, too...
[07:34] ---
    Sir Taito. Lady Laila.
[07:37] ---
    I've found lodging.
[07:40] ---
    This place?!
[07:42] ---
    Ryuko! There were better places than this!
[07:46] ---
    When it comes to lodging, staying
    out of the night dew is all that matters.
[07:50] ---
    What do you people want?!
[07:54] ---
    These are my two companions
    I mentioned, Ma'am.
[07:58] ---
    We would like to stay the night.
[08:01] ---
    Oh. I see.
[08:04] ---
    Oh, yes.
[08:05] ---
    It looks like tonight will be chilly
    from the rain, so I left you an extra blanket.
[08:11] ---
    Thank you very much.
[08:13] ---
    Is she... a nice person?
[08:16] ---
    I guess so...?
[08:24] ---
    To think that Sir Koyo, the head of the world-
    renowned Wo Jin Squad would stay here!
[08:30] ---
    Working even in such a rural
    port town has its benefits!
[08:36] ---
    Don't be silly.
[08:38] ---
    You're guaranteed to make it big
    when you return to the capital, Sir Oen.
[08:44] ---
    I should have come to see you much sooner.
[08:48] ---
    Just as I would expect
    from the Sir Koyo who leads
[08:51] ---
    the great warriors of the Wo Jin
    Squad at such a young age!
[08:53] ---
    You're quite a flatterer!
[08:55] ---
    It is not flattery.
[08:57] ---
    We water bandits must read
    the tide of the times to make a living.
[09:02] ---
    If a military officer is the next to conquer
    the capital, it will be Lord Keiro.
[09:07] ---
    And if it is a civilian...
[09:12] ---
    What a delightful night!
[09:13] ---
    Hey! Bring even more food for Sir Koyo!
[09:18] ---
    Of course!
[09:21] ---
    Now then, Sir Oen.
[09:23] ---
    Allow me to entertain you with a trick.
[09:31] ---
    Please forgive my crudeness.
[09:33] ---
    No, splendidly done!
[09:35] ---
    Did you see that, Korin?
[09:38] ---
    The great Koyo of the Wo Jin Squad
    humbly performed a trick for me.
[09:42] ---
    Yes!
[09:43] ---
    To think a renowned master
    would lower himself that much!
[09:48] ---
    I guess it's because those
    with power cannot be ignored.
[09:52] ---
    Indeed.
[09:53] ---
    I will need much money
    once I return to the capital.
[09:57] ---
    I need to squeeze as much money out of
    these people as I can while I'm in this town...
[10:18] ---
    Can't sleep?
[10:21] ---
    If you want to practice your martial arts,
[10:24] ---
    you can avoid the rain in the backyard.
[10:27] ---
    Use it as you please.
[10:29] ---
    I guess she is nice after all?
[10:38] ---
    Energy Manipulation begins with being
    conscious of the flow of energy in the body.
[10:43] ---
    Gather that energy in the right hand...
[10:46] ---
    ...and instantly release it into a weapon!
[10:54] ---
    Huh? That's weird.
[10:57] ---
    Again!
[11:00] ---
    Huh?
[11:01] ---
    Transfer the energy into the weapon only.
[11:04] ---
    You are pouring the energy into
    your own body instead of your weapon.
[11:10] ---
    The secret to Energy Manipulation is in
    how you transfer the energy to the weapon.
[11:14] ---
    B-but how am I supposed to
    transfer energy into this?
[11:19] ---
    Learning it is the only way
    you can beat Keiro!
[11:23] ---
    That mustached bastard...
[11:26] ---
    Again!
[11:30] ---
    You've already used Energy
    Manipulation, Sir Taito.
[11:34] ---
    If you stay unawakened,
    the land will remain at peace.
[11:39] ---
    But will the karma of the stars
    allow it to be that way?
[11:52] ---
    Whoa, there are so many of 'em!
[11:54] ---
    I'd expect no less from the Xuan Lang
    Platoon, led by Imperial General Keiro!
[12:00] ---
    The big man sleeps nice and sound in town
[12:02] ---
    while the poor subordinates
    live in the freezing cold...
[12:04] ---
    That's so sad!
[12:07] ---
    Well, guess I'll go prowl
    around the weapons depot!
[12:15] ---
    Taito! Get up! Get up!
[12:20] ---
    I said get up!
[12:22] ---
    Oww!
[12:24] ---
    We can't leave town?
[12:26] ---
    The river has swelled due to the rain.
[12:29] ---
    We're stuck until the water recedes.
[12:33] ---
    Oh...
[12:34] ---
    Well, I can just consider it a good
    chance to get in some training!
[12:37] ---
    What are you talking about, dumb brother?
[12:40] ---
    All you've done is sleep
    and snore and nothing else!
[12:43] ---
    Shut up!
[12:46] ---
    I'm coming in.
[12:48] ---
    Hello, Ma'am. Do you need something?
[12:51] ---
    It's hard to see from any
    other room than this.
[13:02] ---
    Pardon my manners.
    Shall I bring you some more tea?
[13:06] ---
    O-okay...
[13:09] ---
    That rock is called the "Holy Bear."
[13:13] ---
    It's the guardian deity of this town.
[13:17] ---
    It was because of the great bear's presence
[13:21] ---
    that our town hasn't suffered very much
[13:23] ---
    even during times of war and famine.
[13:27] ---
    But the officials from the capital have
    forbidden us from worshipping anything
[13:31] ---
    other than what the empire decrees.
[13:36] ---
    That's terrible!
[13:37] ---
    At this rate, something
    bad is certain to happen.
[13:42] ---
    Something dreadful...
[13:46] ---
    Then you guys should kick those
    officials out! Stand up to them!
[13:51] ---
    Old lady! Are you here?! Old lady!
[13:55] ---
    What?!
[13:56] ---
    That great bear has sat there for centuries!
[14:00] ---
    Rain like this can't do anything to it!
[14:03] ---
    This is no time for denial!
[14:05] ---
    The town will be destroyed
    once the bear falls!
[14:09] ---
    But where can we flee to in this rain?
[14:13] ---
    Are you saying this is
    the great bear's wrath?
[14:17] ---
    Wh-what should we do?
[14:18] ---
    There's nothing to do.
    We must evacuate immediately too.
[14:23] ---
    But what about all the townspeople?!
[14:25] ---
    A place to run to... A place where
    the townspeople can also escape to...
[14:30] ---
    That's it!
[14:32] ---
    The lives of the townspeople are on the line!
[14:34] ---
    Please!
[14:35] ---
    I said no!
[14:37] ---
    I don't care if some rocks
    fall or not; I can't let anyone past here!
[14:41] ---
    Then we'll talk to your boss directly!
[14:44] ---
    Please! Let us see him!
[14:46] ---
    The boss would never bother
    with the likes of you!
[14:49] ---
    Now get the hell out before you get hurt!
[14:52] ---
    Damn you!
[14:58] ---
    How dare you...!
[15:00] ---
    There's no time to explain
    the situation to small fries!
[15:02] ---
    Just let me see your boss!
[15:04] ---
    Like hell we will, you brat!
[15:05] ---
    What are you doing?
[15:07] ---
    That many people ganging up on a kid
    will ruin the name of the Wo Jin Squad.
[15:11] ---
    B-but, Boss...!
[15:13] ---
    I'm telling you to leave!
[15:17] ---
    You're the head of this ship?
[15:19] ---
    I'm Koyo. And you are...?
[15:22] ---
    I'm Taito.
[15:23] ---
    Apparently this rain is going to cause
    that big rock to fall onto the town!
[15:28] ---
    Please! Let the townspeople
    seek shelter on your ship!
[15:32] ---
    Please! There's no time left!
[15:34] ---
    Move aside! Move aside!
[15:40] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Sir Koyo!
[15:42] ---
    Oh, Sir Oen. You've
    certainly arrived quickly.
[15:45] ---
    Yes. It's a race against time, you see.
[15:49] ---
    Now, then! Carry my treasure
    onto the ship!
[15:51] ---
    No dawdling!
[15:54] ---
    We truly appreciate the help, Sir Koyo!
[15:58] ---
    Someday I will reward you handsomely!
[16:00] ---
    Those words alone honor me.
[16:05] ---
    Wha--?! Hold on!
    Let the townspeople get on too!
[16:10] ---
    Who is this runt, Sir Koyo?
[16:14] ---
    Apparently, he wants me to let the people
    of that town board my ship as well...
[16:19] ---
    Don't be stupid! The ship is at full
    capacity now that we're onboard!
[16:24] ---
    What happens to the lowly
    commoners is of no concern to me!
[16:27] ---
    What did you say?!
[16:28] ---
    Isn't that what you would want anyway?
[16:30] ---
    Being crushed by the very
    thing you believe in...
[16:40] ---
    Taito! Where are you going?!
[16:46] ---
    Just look, Sir Koyo!
[16:48] ---
    This treasure is my pride and joy!
[16:50] ---
    It is the symbol of my power!
[16:53] ---
    Yes. But it's odd.
[16:56] ---
    I don't see the valuable
    Holy Bear Jewel anywhere...
[16:58] ---
    Holy Bear... Jewel?
[17:01] ---
    Yes. According to our investigations,
[17:04] ---
    it was hidden here by a previous official.
[17:08] ---
    Don't tell me you haven't
    dug it up yet, Sir Oen?!
[17:13] ---
    Hurry! Hurry!
[17:15] ---
    We really must thank Koyo!
[17:18] ---
    Absolutely!
[17:20] ---
    To think that such a treasure
    was sleeping beneath
[17:23] ---
    the very mansion we live in!
[17:27] ---
    It's raining much more
    heavily than we expected.
[17:31] ---
    Hey! Girl!
[17:32] ---
    Hurry them up. There's no time to waste.
[17:41] ---
    This is a load of crap!
[17:43] ---
    Only the rotten bastards get to survive
    while the innocent people die?!
[17:48] ---
    That's a load of crap!
[17:51] ---
    So don't fall, old bear!
    Hold on just a little longer!
[17:58] ---
    I said stop!
[18:01] ---
    Sir Taito.
[18:02] ---
    You really are as unfathomably
    stupid as Laila says.
[18:07] ---
    Ryuko!
[18:08] ---
    Did you really think you could
    stop this all by yourself?
[18:14] ---
    Look hard! Whoever
    finds it will get a reward!
[18:19] ---
    Treasure! Treasure! My treasure!
[18:23] ---
    You done, Ryuko?!
[18:26] ---
    All finished, Sir Taito!
[18:28] ---
    That should hold now.
[18:31] ---
    Assuming the rain doesn't
    get heavier, anyway...
[18:37] ---
    Ryuko!
[18:42] ---
    S-Sir Taito!
[18:50] ---
    Sir Taito! Please let go! I will be fine!
[18:55] ---
    Forget it! Not even you can get away
    clean from a fall from this height!
[19:00] ---
    But at this rate, we'll both be killed!
[19:03] ---
    Please let go!
[19:05] ---
    Let go of me!
[19:08] ---
    Let go, Taito!
[19:09] ---
    I refuse to!
[19:11] ---
    You may be my watchdog...
[19:13] ---
    but you told me we would
    go to the capital together!
[19:17] ---
    We're comrades!
[19:19] ---
    Besides, you came all the way
    out here to help me!
[19:24] ---
    So I absolutely refuse to abandon you now!
[19:28] ---
    I refuse to!
[19:30] ---
    T- Taito...
[19:34] ---
    The Alkaid pattern!
[19:46] ---
    I thank you...
[19:47] ---
    Don't be stupid. It was nothing!
[20:07] ---
    The rock!
[20:08] ---
    Great bear!
[20:09] ---
    Sir Oen! The rock...!
[20:11] ---
    What?!
[20:28] ---
    I'm sorry we couldn't protect the town...
[20:31] ---
    Don't be silly. You did very well.
[20:34] ---
    The houses and buildings
    may have been demolished,
[20:38] ---
    but everyone is still alive.
[20:40] ---
    We will simply treasure the
    great bear in its new form now.
[20:46] ---
    But why did the head of that ship
    suddenly decide to help everyone?
[20:52] ---
    Who knows...
[21:00] ---
    To think he would go back to be crushed
    while looking for a treasure that doesn't exist!
[21:03] ---
    It's too bad the guy had to be so greedy!
[21:06] ---
    Coming to this rural port was worth it!
[21:10] ---
    The only issue was that the Holy Bear
    came down sooner than anticipated.
[21:14] ---
    That boy's actions cancelled it out.
[21:18] ---
    Taito, huh? I'll be sure to remember you!
[21:26] ---
    At last, we can head for the capital again!
[21:28] ---
    What are you talking about?
    We were only stuck there for one day.
[21:33] ---
    Shut up! That was a long day!
[21:36] ---
    Come. Let's not dawdle, Taito.
[21:40] ---
    Wait, Ryuko!
[21:42] ---
    Just "Taito" instead of "Sir Taito"?
[21:46] ---
    What happened to reaching
    the capital as quickly as possible?
[21:49] ---
    You're one to talk!
[21:54] ---
    Well, whatever.
[21:57] ---
    Wait for me!
[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 stars begin to move.
    Led by karma, they meet.
[23:38] ---
    Five Divine Warriors? I dunno
    what you're talking about!
[23:41] ---
    I'm only trying to do what my master said!
[23:43] ---
    I don't know why,
    but I smell stupidity in the air.
[23:47] ---
    If you are to join the Dubhe,
    then I will destroy you with all my might.
[23:53] ---
    The boy with the Phecda pattern...
    Is he friend or foe?
[23:58] ---
    On Hero Tales,
    "Chapter Four: Divine Warrior."
[24:12] ---
    "See you next time!"
[24:13] ---
    Stay away from Laila!
