**[00:19] Cleaner**
These were on Tsukishiro.
**[00:33] Boy**
This is a lot...
**[00:35] Jin**
That should be enough to take
care of you and your mother.
**[00:41] Boy**
Thank you... Thank you so much!
**[00:45] Jin**
Listen closely...
**[00:47] Jin**
Don't ever look back.
**[00:49] Jin**
Once you're out of here,
forget anything you ever saw.
**[00:52] Jin**
Got it?
**[00:54] Boy**
Right!
**[01:00] Cleaner**
It'd probably be a good idea
to *thoroughly* clean things up.
**[01:03] Jin**
Right. And I intend to.
**[01:17] Jin**
You know too much.
**[01:20] Jin**
People will betray you,
whether friend or foe.
**[01:23] Jin**
There's no ruling someone's heart.

**[03:23] (Flashback) Janome**
The dosage wasn't right.
We'll need to revise our calculations.
**[03:33] (Flashback) Janome**
Bring the next one, 633, in here.
***SIGN*** 638
**[03:41] (Flashback) Jin**
How long do you think this
is going to go on?
**[03:44] (Flashback) Yoshio**
For as long as we survive.
**[03:47] (Flashback) Jin**
Then I'm gonna try to run!
**[03:49] (Flashback) Yoshio**
Iori... I've made up my mind, too.
**[03:52] (Flashback) Yoshio**
I'm gonna use this.
I managed to stash it away.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Jin**
Let's kill the guards and get out of here!
**[03:56] (Flashback) Yoshio**
Run to where?
**[03:58] (Flashback) Jin**
Well...
**[04:00] (Flashback) Jin**
I mean, there *has* to be somewhere!
**[04:02] (Flashback) Yoshio**
There's nowhere to run. I'm gonna die.
**[04:05] (Flashback) Jin**
Wait! Yoshio!
**[04:14] (Flashback) Jin**
Yoshio?
**[04:19] (Flashback) Guard**
633, 633...
**[04:24] (Flashback) Guard**
Great, another one to dispose of.
**[04:26] (Flashback) Guard**
Janome-sama is not going to be happy.
**[04:30] (Flashback) Jin**
In that case...
**[04:33] (Flashback) Jin**
Take me instead.
***SIGN*** 638
**[04:44] (Flashback) Janome**
638 did this?
**[04:47] (Flashback) Janome**
Inform the shogun!
**[04:57] (Flashback) Guards**
Over there!
**[04:58] (Flashback) Guards**
Don't let him escape!
**[05:00] Jin**
*I'm not giving up!*
**[05:03] (Flashback) Jin**
A village!
**[05:12] (Flashback) Jin**
Oh, no...
**[05:14] (Flashback) Guards**
There's nowhere to run!
**[05:16] (Flashback) Guards**
Don't move!
**[05:18] (Flashback) Jin**
Damn it...
***SIGN*** Nue
**[05:26] (Flashback) Guards**
A Nue agent?
**[05:31] (Flashback) Jin**
Nue?
**[05:49] (Flashback) Kotodama**
The shogun has chosen you.
**[05:53] (Flashback) Kotodama**
The shogun?
**[05:55] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Is that the snake bastard's boss?
**[05:56] (Flashback) Kotodama**
The shogun regrets Professor
Janome's barbaric experiments.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Jin**
I'm not going back.
**[06:05] (Flashback) Kotodama**
A new path has been prepared for you.
**[06:09] (Flashback) Jin**
What new path?
**[06:10] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Defy his will, and die.
**[06:19] (Flashback) Jin**
What is this path?
**[06:25] (Flashback) Kotodama**
During his escape from the lab,
he killed 38 fellow subjects
**[06:30] (Flashback) Kotodama**
and 14 guards.
**[06:43] (Flashback) Kotodama**
What you see is
**[06:44] (Flashback) Kotodama**
the result of the experiments: he's developed
a resistance to 120 types of snake venom.
**[06:51] (Flashback) Kotodama**
He has a strong body and mind,
**[06:54] (Flashback) Kotodama**
along with a powerful thirst for life.
A perfect candidate.
**[06:59] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Turn around.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Kotodama**
An amusing jest, sir.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Tokugawa**
You are to be walking down
a path fraught with carnage.
**[07:22] (Flashback) Tokugawa**
You will demonstrate your resolve
to live in service to me.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Jin**
Resolve?
**[07:29] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Clean up the spilled wine.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Jin**
How? With what?
**[07:33] (Flashback) Kotodama**
You can lick it up, can't you?
**[07:36] (Flashback) Tokugawa**
If even a drop is left, we can
still send him back to Janome.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Kotodama**
As you wish, sir.
**[07:46] Yoshio**
*There's nowhere to run. I'm gonna die.*
**[08:32] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Jin Kuzuhara.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Kotodama**
That is your name now.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Kotodama**
It represents Yoshinobu-sama's
desire for you to be the one
**[08:41] (Flashback) Kotodama**
who clears away the trash of this world.
**[08:45] (Flashback) Sign/Jin**
Jin Kuzuhara...
**[08:48] (Flashback) Kotodama**
From now on, you will live a
new life under your new name.
**[08:53] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Do you have any questions?
**[08:55] (Flashback) Jin**
What am I supposed to call you?
**[08:58] (Flashback) Kotodama**
I have no name.
**[09:00] (Flashback) Kotodama**
But Yoshinobu-sama has taken
to calling me "Kotodama."
**[09:03] (Flashback) Jin**
Koto...
**[09:04] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Kotodama.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Kotodama**
It refers to the supernatural
force behind one's words.
**[09:10] (Flashback) Kotodama**
It might be easier to understand
if you think about the concept
**[09:12] (Flashback) Kotodama**
of "saying a wish out loud
to make it come true."
**[09:15] (Flashback) Jin**
Is that right?
**[09:17] (Flashback) Kotodama**
The shogun's desire is for you to become
a suitable member of our organization.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Jin**
What organization?
**[09:24] (Flashback) Kotodama**
This one.
***SIGN*** Nue
**[09:27] Kotodama**
* In order to preserve peace, the shogun*
* has created a secret organization.*
**[09:31] Kotodama**
*It is called "Nue."*
**[09:36] Kotodama**
* Our objective is to remove all*
* threats to the shogun in secret.*
**[09:45] (Flashback) Rebel**
Please, don't kill—
**[09:46] Kotodama**
*Throw away your sentimentality.*
**[09:48] Kotodama**
* Your life belongs to Yoshinobu*
* Tokugawa-sama from this point on.*
**[09:56] (Flashback) Kotodama**
The snake has betrayed us.
**[10:00] (Flashback) Jin**
Why would the snake suddenly
decide to defy the shogun?
**[10:03] (Flashback) Kotodama**
People will betray you,
whether friend or foe.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Kotodama**
There's no ruling someone's heart.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Hence the need for us.
**[10:13] (Flashback) Jin**
What about the research documents?
**[10:15] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Janome fled with all of it.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Kotodama**
It will be hard to resume research
into immortality without it.
**[10:21] (Flashback) Jin**
He's going to become a threat
to us... to the shogun.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Not only that, but Janome has set
his sights on the infamous blue blood.
**[10:29] (Flashback) Jin**
The blue blood...
**[10:31] (Flashback) Jin**
From the Karasumori clan,
who are said to have special powers.
**[10:36] (Flashback) Kotodama**
I've been given a message for you.
**[10:39] (Flashback) Kotodama**
You are to guard the Karasumori clan.
**[10:47] Kotodama**
* Strike down any suspicious*
* individuals who approach.*
**[11:00] Kotodama**
* Carry out your duty without*
* drawing the villagers' attention.*
**[11:23] Kotodama**
* There are beasts in the woods that have been*
* affected by the flow of power in the area.*
**[11:28] Kotodama**
*Be very cautious.*
**[11:41] (Flashback) Towa**
No!
**[11:46] (Flashback) Towa**
Dwell in the blue that surges within!
**[11:57] (Flashback) Towa**
Please stop. She was only
trying to protect her pups.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Jin**
A mother?
**[12:04] (Flashback) Towa**
You're one of Yoshinobu-sama's
men, aren't you?
**[12:08] (Flashback) Jin**
How do you know that?
**[12:10] (Flashback) Towa**
The village elders told us that
Yoshinobu-sama would protect our clan.
**[12:15] (Flashback) Jin**
I'm not sure you need protection,
with power like that.
**[12:19] (Flashback) Towa**
Not all of us can do this.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Towa**
We take no pleasure in fighting.
So please, lower your weapon.
**[12:28] (Flashback) Jin**
After you.
**[12:29] (Flashback) Towa**
Will you promise me you won't hurt them?
**[12:33] (Flashback) Jin**
She's going to maul me.
**[12:34] (Flashback) Towa**
She just wants them safe,
even if it costs her life.
**[12:37] (Flashback) Towa**
She wants to protect her children.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Towa**
I'm a mother, too, so I understand.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Jin**
Mom! Mom!
**[12:53] (Flashback) Towa**
Thank you.
**[12:56] (Flashback) Towa**
Your injury isn't too severe,
but it should probably be tended to.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Towa**
My name is Towa Karasumori. What's yours?
**[13:07] (Flashback) Jin**
I'm...
**[13:42] (Flashback) Sawa**
What's that?
**[14:19] (Flashback) Towa**
Are you okay?
**[14:21] (Flashback) Towa**
Pain, pain, go away...
**[14:29] (Flashback) Kotodama**
I have another message.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Kotodama**
The Karasumori clan is to be eliminated.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Jin**
Eliminated? He wants me to kill them?
**[14:38] (Flashback) Kotodama**
They were asked to use their special powers
to contribute to the Tokugawa regime,
**[14:43] (Flashback) Kotodama**
but they would not consent,
and they seem to be beyond negotiation.
**[14:47] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Not only that,
**[14:49] (Flashback) Kotodama**
but we have intel that suggests
Janome has nearly found the village.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Kotodama**
There is no time to waste.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Jin**
I'll kill Janome, then.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Kotodama**
Even if you killed him,
**[15:00] (Flashback) Kotodama**
there'd be no end to those seeking
the power of the blue blood.
**[15:03] (Flashback) Kotodama**
There's no way for them
to stay hidden forever.
**[15:07] (Flashback) Towa**
And it may bud in the spring...
**[15:11] Kotodama**
* You, of all people, should be able to imagine*
* the cruelty they'd be faced with.*
**[15:17] Kotodama**
*Yoshinobu-sama's commands are absolute.*
**[15:20] Kotodama**
*Defiance is not tolerated.*
**[15:29] (Flashback) Towa**
Look at you. You must be hungry.
**[15:36] (Flashback) Towa**
Come and have something to eat.
**[15:39] (Flashback) Jin**
I'll have to pass on that.
**[15:41] (Flashback) Towa**
I figured as much.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Towa**
Here.
**[15:45] (Flashback) Towa**
I've got a son, and he
definitely has an appetite.
**[15:49] (Flashback) Towa**
So I thought you might be the same.
**[15:52] (Flashback) Jin**
Is that bird always with you?
**[15:55] (Flashback) Towa**
Not necessarily.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Towa**
But members of the Karasumori are
chosen by birds to be their partners.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Towa**
She's a one-of-a-kind friend,
and one I'll spend my life with.
**[16:06] (Flashback) Jin**
A friend...
**[16:08] (Flashback) Towa**
Do you have any friends?
**[16:13] (Flashback) Towa**
Well, if you get hungry, come on down.
**[16:16] (Flashback) Towa**
It'll be fun to have another son around.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Towa**
Thank you for always looking out for us.
**[17:49] (Flashback) Towa**
I wonder what's going on...
**[17:52] (Flashback) Sawa**
Hey, what are these rice balls for?
**[17:55] (Flashback) Towa**
Those?
**[17:57] (Flashback) Towa**
They're dinner for our guardian spirit.
**[17:59] (Flashback) Sawa**
What does that mean?
**[18:01] (Flashback) Takeru**
Sawa! Wanna race to see who
can set out the futons faster?
**[18:05] (Flashback) Sawa**
Oh, I do!
**[18:06] (Flashback) Takeru**
All right, get ready.
**[18:09] (Flashback) Towa**
Of course he's not coming...
**[18:18] (Flashback) Towa**
Oh, welcome!
**[18:24] (Flashback) Towa**
Are you crying?
**[18:28] (Flashback) Towa**
It's okay.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Towa**
No! Don't!
**[19:11] Towa**
* She just wants them safe,*
* even if it costs her life.*
**[19:15] (Flashback) Towa**
She wants to protect her children.
**[19:17] (Flashback) Towa**
I'm a mother, too, so I understand.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Towa**
Thank you for always looking out for us.
**[19:25] (Flashback) Janome**
Look for anyone who might still be alive!
**[19:33] (Flashback) Janome**
They're all dead, too...
**[19:39] (Flashback) Janome**
This has to be divine providence!
**[19:46] (Flashback) Kotodama**
The mission was to kill them all.
**[19:49] (Flashback) Jin**
I am going to turn this girl
into a Nue executioner.
**[19:53] (Flashback) Jin**
She'll be a valuable resource
for Yoshinobu-sama.
**[19:55] (Flashback) Kotodama**
There is no room for exceptions.
**[20:12] (Flashback) Jin**
You said it yourself.
**[20:14] (Flashback) Jin**
People will betray you,
whether friend or foe.
**[20:18] (Flashback) Jin**
There's no ruling someone's heart.
**[20:24] (Flashback) Jin**
I'm going to carry it all.
**[20:27] (Flashback) Jin**
The grudges, the sorrow, the past, future...
**[20:31] (Flashback) Jin**
All of it.
**[20:37] Jin**
*"Kotodama." The force behind one's words.*
**[20:42] (Flashback) Jin**
I will protect this girl.
**[21:03] (Flashback) Jin**
Are you digging graves for them?
**[21:14] Sawa**
Did you kill them?
**[21:17] ---**
