**[00:24] (Flashback) Tsumabiki**
Are you the new special exceptions?
**[00:27] (Flashback) Haori**
And who might you be?
**[00:28] (Flashback) Tsumabiki**
Us?
**[00:30] (Flashback) Tsumabiki**
We're in the same position
you are, with different duties.
**[00:34] (Flashback) Tsumabiki**
We're a bit like your senpai.
**[00:37] (Flashback) Tsumabiki**
So you're willing to hunt your own kind
out of devotion to that girl?
**[00:43] (Flashback) Tsumabiki**
Followers of the way of rock
after our own hearts.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Tsumabiki**
It's going to be difficult for both of us.
**[00:56] Tsumabiki**
Let us begin!
***SIGN*** Malevolent Spirits
***SIGN*** Sparks
**[02:33] Tsumabiki**
It's our once-in-a-lifetime concert!
**[02:36] Tsumabiki**
Time to hear it!
**[02:55] Botan**
Haori!
**[02:55] Haori**
The next wave's coming!
**[02:58] Fukie**
Ring out.
**[03:03] Fukie**
A mirror?
**[03:07] Suzuri**
Go! Nagi, Yu!
**[03:27] Tsumabiki**
*This is...*
**[03:29] Tsumabiki**
*This is it!*
**[03:30] Tsumabiki**
* The agonizing battle for our lives*
* that we've been seeking for so long!*
**[03:39] Tsumabiki**
Come, now! The concert's only just begun!
**[03:48] Yu**
You must die for your crime of harming Botan.
**[03:53] Fukie**
I don't mind that.
**[03:55] Fukie**
But first,
**[03:56] Fukie**
I'll need to defeat all of you.
**[04:12] Yu**
Suzuri!
**[04:34] Tsumabiki**
Guess it's time for the closing number!
**[04:46] Tsumabiki**
Now, let's let the Bureau of
Traditional Music roar!
**[04:56] Fubuki**
Sheesh, turn it down already!
**[04:58] Tsubaki**
This isn't good.
**[05:01] Tsubaki**
The sound waves are hitting them
with incredible pressure.
**[05:05] Yu**
I can't... move!
**[05:11] Suzuri**
Nagi! Yu!
**[05:14] Kagami**
Haori-chan!
**[05:15] Haori**
Right!
**[05:20] Fukie**
These two first.
**[05:33] Botan**
Nagi! Yu!
**[05:50] Hyoma**
Is that...
**[05:52] Tsubaki**
Of course.
**[05:53] Tsubaki**
He's awakened, then.
**[06:05] Botan**
Kushige!
**[06:30] Yu**
Thanks for the save, Kushige!
**[06:32] Nagi**
Honestly...
**[06:34] Nagi**
Waiting for the most dramatic
possible time to come back, huh?
**[06:36] Suzuri**
Regardless, the full Bridal Trousseau
is together for the first time in a while.
**[06:45] Haori**
Kushige.
**[06:46] Haori**
You handle the protection of Botan.
**[06:53] Haori**
We excel the most when
we're fighting to protect.
**[06:57] Haori**
I'm told you said that about us, Tsumabiki.
**[07:01] Haori**
You're halfway correct.
**[07:06] Haori**
When someone has harmed our mistress,
**[07:08] Haori**
we will attack,
**[07:09] Haori**
and attack,
**[07:10] Haori**
until we destroy them!
**[07:12] Haori**
Experience for yourselves
the Bridal Trousseau's battle!
**[07:17] Fukie**
I never thought I'd get to fight
the full Bridal Trousseau for real.
**[07:21] Tsumabiki**
I'm numb with exultation!
**[07:25] Tsumabiki**
I only wish Tsuzumi could have been here!
**[08:15] Hyoma**
It's over, then?
**[08:21] Tsumabiki**
*Magnificent.*
**[08:25] Fukie**
*Truly magnificent.*
**[08:28] Fukie**
Thank you for putting an end to us here.
**[08:34] Fukie**
When the living god manifested
**[08:36] Fukie**
and Tsuzumi was destroyed right before our eyes,
**[08:40] Fukie**
we couldn't even struggle against her.
**[08:42] Fukie**
We just let her go by.
**[08:46] Tsumabiki**
Rock ends the moment it bends to another.
**[08:50] Tsumabiki**
We've failed to see our resolve
through. It's our time to go.
**[08:59] Hyoma**
Tsumabiki...
**[09:13] Tsumabiki**
*That's right.*
**[09:14] Tsumabiki**
*More than us, with all our grand talk about it...*
**[09:17] Tsumabiki**
* More than anyone here, the one trying*
* to assert himself through hardship...*
**[09:24] Tsumabiki**
*You were true rock.*
**[09:31] Tsumabiki**
You'd better hurry if you want your prize.
**[09:40] Nagi**
Quit spinning everything
through your stupid worldview.
**[09:44] Nagi**
We just couldn't forgive you...
**[09:47] Nagi**
for putting Botan in danger.
**[09:51] Nagi**
I doubt you're gonna tell us anyway.
**[09:54] Nagi**
Kagami's Shoyokyo will reveal the past.
**[09:57] Nagi**
So...
**[09:59] Nagi**
Be cast to the four winds and die,
you stupid assholes.
**[10:05] Fukie**
Yeah...
**[10:08] Fukie**
It was a good concert.
**[10:17] Tsumabiki**
Hyoma...
**[10:19] Tsumabiki**
I can't say I know for sure
that you'll always keep her safe.
**[10:25] Tsumabiki**
But I believe that you can keep shouting.
**[10:31] Tsumabiki**
Let it be heard in all corners of the world.
**[10:35] Tsumabiki**
Let it cause even the land
of the dead to tremble.
**[11:08] Kagami**
* That day... when we saw Botan*
* seeking out blood family,*
**[11:13] Kagami**
*and our hearts began to waver,*
**[11:17] Kagami**
*they sent their song into our hearts*
**[11:19] Kagami**
*and created an opening there.*
**[11:24] Kagami**
Everyone!
**[11:29] Tenjitsu**
Finished, are you?
**[11:31] Shigure**
Well, then...
**[11:33] Shigure**
We'll be taking Nagatsuki Botan.
**[11:37] Tsubaki**
Leave the rest to me, Botan-chan.
**[11:40] Botan**
Tsubaki-san...
**[11:42] Yu**
Don't push yourself.
**[11:44] Yu**
You're clearly in no condition to fight.
**[11:47] Tsubaki**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[11:51] Tsubaki**
With all these wonderful toys
right in front of me?
**[11:54] Tsubaki**
I couldn't possibly sit this one out!
**[11:58] Botan**
Hyoma-san?
**[12:00] Hyoma**
No need to worry.
**[12:03] Hyoma**
Tenjitsu of the Warazamawashi...
**[12:07] Hyoma**
I'll defeat him myself.
**[12:26] Tenjitsu**
He's mine to hunt.
**[12:29] Tenjitsu**
Kindly don't interfere.
**[12:31] Fubuki**
Okay!
**[12:33] Fubuki**
Guess we'll have to hunt elsewhere!
**[12:54] Tenjitsu**
Half-baked.
**[12:57] Tenjitsu**
You're not about to tell me
this is all you have, are you?
**[13:05] Tenjitsu**
This is all the growth you've achieved?
**[13:09] Tenjitsu**
Your siblings must be so disappointed in you!
**[13:13] Botan**
Hyoma-san!
**[13:16] Hyoma**
I knew it.
**[13:18] Hyoma**
The spirit energy that surrounds you...
**[13:20] Hyoma**
The tone of your words...
**[13:23] Hyoma**
I remember it clearly now!
**[13:26] Hyoma**
In the instant before you literally
devoured my brother and sister,
**[13:29] Hyoma**
those words that you said...
**[13:32] (Flashback) Paper Umbrella**
I'll be making good use of them.
**[13:38] Hyoma**
I finally found you.
**[13:40] Hyoma**
You, wearing the skin of my brother...
**[13:44] Hyoma**
Tenjitsu of the Warazamawashi!
**[13:47] Hyoma**
You're the one!
**[13:49] Hyoma**
The one I've been looking for!
**[13:52] Tenjitsu**
Kunato Hayato and Kunato Kusui...
**[13:56] Tenjitsu**
I'm told they distinguished themselves
as Saenome from a very young age.
**[14:00] Tenjitsu**
They were considered unparalleled geniuses.
**[14:03] Hyoma**
What are you—
**[14:04] Tenjitsu**
But...
**[14:05] Tenjitsu**
They, who were utterly
unsurpassed in sheer ability,
**[14:09] Tenjitsu**
were overwhelmingly deficient in one
element necessary for a Saenome leader.
**[14:14] Tenjitsu**
An enemy that set traps in
the surrounding environment
**[14:16] Tenjitsu**
to guarantee a kill on their prey—
**[14:18] Tenjitsu**
They needed experience
against an enemy like that.
**[14:23] Tenjitsu**
But they were simply too innocent.
**[14:29] Tenjitsu**
Impatience creates mental blind spots.
**[14:32] Tenjitsu**
Those two, so desperate to become
the next heads of the Kunato family,
**[14:37] Tenjitsu**
were exceedingly simple to take out.
**[14:40] Tenjitsu**
Though I do understand why
they were in such a hurry.
**[14:45] Tenjitsu**
Kunato Zohei is long past his peak as a Saenome.
**[14:50] Tenjitsu**
And...
**[14:53] Tenjitsu**
Their talentless little brother
**[14:55] Tenjitsu**
was trying to become a Saenome
out of admiration for them!
**[14:59] Tenjitsu**
It must've been quite the burden
they were bearing!
**[15:03] Hyoma**
Don't slander my siblings! What would you know—
**[15:06] Tenjitsu**
I know everything!
**[15:08] Tenjitsu**
Because when I devoured him,
**[15:10] Tenjitsu**
I heard what was going through his mind.
**[15:31] Hayato**
*We were in too much of a hurry, Grandpa.*
**[15:35] Hayato**
*Me and Kusui both...*
**[15:37] Hayato**
*Before Hyoma became a Saenome,*
**[15:39] Hayato**
* we wanted to take over the house*
* and lay a proper foundation...*
**[15:44] Hayato**
*And most of all,*
**[15:46] Hayato**
*we wanted to let you rest!*
**[15:50] Hayato**
*But... we couldn't tell you!*
**[15:54] (Flashback) Tenjitsu**
These are his feelings?
**[15:59] Hayato**
*Because...*
**[16:01] Hayato**
* You've worked twice as hard as*
* anyone as house leader, right?*
**[16:05] Hayato**
*And... you raised us!*
**[16:12] (Flashback) Tenjitsu**
Human feelings are such ludicrous things!
**[16:18] Tenjitsu**
So the ones who drove Kunato Hayato
and Kunato Kusui to their deaths
**[16:22] Tenjitsu**
were their decrepit grandfather
and their useless little brother!
**[16:26] Hyoma**
Damn you!
**[16:28] Tenjitsu**
I won't get a real fight out of it,
**[16:31] Tenjitsu**
but I suppose I'll humor you a while.
**[16:36] Tenjitsu**
You never change, Hyoma!
**[16:39] Tenjitsu**
So straightforward and easy to read!
**[16:47] (Flashback) Hyoma**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[16:49] (Flashback) Hyoma**
Big Brother! I give, I give!
**[16:51] (Flashback) Hayato**
You've got a good,
straightforward attack posture...
**[16:55] (Flashback) Hayato**
But you'll need more,
**[16:56] (Flashback) Hayato**
or your opponent will read you a mile away.
**[17:05] Tenjitsu**
This is the result of your
admiration for your brother?
**[17:19] Botan**
Hyoma-san!
**[17:21] Fubuki**
Getting to fight to the death
with the Bridal Trousseau...
**[17:24] Fubuki**
Aren't I the lucky one?
**[17:29] Yu**
I won't let you lay one finger on Botan!
**[17:35] Shigure**
Fubuki, our objective is—
**[17:37] Fubuki**
I know, damn it!
**[17:38] Fubuki**
We've gotta kill these guys
and take Nagatsuki Botan, right?
**[17:42] Shigure**
Yes.
**[17:44] Nagi**
Won't let it happen.
**[17:45] Suzuri**
Honestly... you're annoyingly persistent!
**[17:48] Suzuri**
Aren't you?!
**[18:06] Kogarashi**
Maybe I went a bit too far?
**[18:09] Kogarashi**
I've made a mess of that
cute little face of yours.
**[18:24] Tsubaki**
Nothing satisfying about a losing battle!
**[18:32] Tsubaki**
Nice batting!
**[18:46] Tenjitsu**
What's the matter, Hyoma?
**[18:48] Tenjitsu**
Put up a fight, won't you?
**[18:53] Hyoma**
*Big... Brother?*
**[18:57] Hyoma**
*I guess... I still can't beat my brother.*
**[19:08] Tenjitsu**
Looks like you remembered.
**[19:11] Tenjitsu**
Our potentials as Saenome are
on completely different levels.
**[19:27] Botan**
*The being inside me is stirring.*
**[19:30] Botan**
*It's given me instinctive understanding...*
**[19:33] Botan**
*It's no use. He's...*
**[19:38] Botan**
*A natural talent.*
**[19:40] Botan**
*Gifted, even when he was alive and human,*
**[19:43] Botan**
* with a channel that brought him*
* close to the Saenome itself.*
**[19:51] Tenjitsu**
Do you hate me?
**[19:58] Tenjitsu**
It seems you've fought all this time,
fueled by your hatred of tsukumogami.
**[20:03] Tenjitsu**
But now it's all going to be for nothing.
**[20:07] Tenjitsu**
It's really pathetic, Hyoma.
**[20:11] Tenjitsu**
You'll simply die here, in vain,
**[20:15] Tenjitsu**
failing to avenge your siblings!
**[20:25] Botan**
Hyoma-san...
**[20:30] Botan**
Don't lose.
**[20:34] Suzuri**
Your reason for fighting
isn't hatred of tsukumogami!
**[20:39] Yu**
Like us, you're fighting to protect
someone you care about!
**[20:43] Kagami**
We decided we could entrust Botan to you!
**[20:49] Nagi**
We believe you can do this,
**[20:51] Nagi**
Hyoma!
**[20:53] Haori**
You're the one we've entrusted with Botan.
**[20:55] Haori**
We believe in you, son-in-law!
**[20:59] Botan**
Get up, Hyoma-san!
**[21:14] Hyoma**
My grudge against the paper umbrella...
**[21:17] Hyoma**
My hatred for tsukumogami...
**[21:22] Hyoma**
My reason for fighting is far beyond that.
**[21:26] Hyoma**
I swore an oath to Botan.
**[21:29] Hyoma**
I will not betray her! I will not die!
**[21:33] Hyoma**
I...
**[21:35] Hyoma**
I'll always keep Botan safe!
**[21:41] Botan**
Hyoma-san...
**[21:49] Tenjitsu**
Oh?
