**[00:28] Hana**
Weasel! Badger!
**[00:33] Hana**
Where are you?!
***SIGN*** Episode 5
**[02:09] Doan**
Tonight, you will bear witness
to a menagerie of freaks,
**[02:12] Doan**
gathered from distant Ryukyu, Ezo,
and even China and the lands beyond!
**[02:12] Sign**
The Doan
Company
**[02:12] Sign**
The
Mighty Man
of Stone
**[02:12] Sign**
The
Fire-Breathing
Daruma
**[02:12] Sign**
The
Terrifying
Snake-Woman
**[02:12] Sign**
The
Uncanny
Knife-Thrower
**[02:17] Doan**
A fire-breathing daruma
who lights up the night sky,
**[02:20] Doan**
a man of stone with unrivaled strength,
**[02:22] Doan**
and of course, a dreadful snake-woman
and her terrifying brood!
**[02:56] Badger**
Big brother Weasel...
Where are we? Where'd Hana go?
**[03:01] Weasel**
Come on, quit crying.
**[03:02] Weasel**
She said to meet up at the Jizo statue
if we got separated, remember?
**[03:08] Doan**
Well, now. Where did you two come from?
**[03:15] Doan**
I must say, it seems some absolute
treasures have found their way to me.
**[03:21] Doan**
Welcome to the Doan Company.
**[03:33] Soji**
All right. Time for a round to celebrate.
**[03:36] Soji**
Wait, no, no. If I bet big on
Nio's kite tomorrow, I'll score huge.
**[03:41] Soji**
Where the hell's the sense
in blowing cash before then?
**[03:49] Soji**
Man, I'm still not buying it.
**[03:50] Soji**
How do hands that have only ever held blades
to kill know how to paint, of all things?
**[03:58] Raizo**
When I face someone, sword in hand...
At times, I find that time seems to stop.
**[04:04] Raizo**
Much like in these pictures, really.
**[04:08] Raizo**
And I have realized this same moment
comes when I am holding a brush.
**[04:12] Raizo**
Then, I need only depict what I see.
**[04:15] Soji**
You mean to tell me you paint
people the same way you kill them?
**[04:20] Raizo**
No. Once you achieve that state,
what you actually do is of little concern.
**[04:25] Raizo**
"The sword and zen meditation are as one."
I always thought the saying pretentious,
**[04:30] Raizo**
but maybe it is close to the truth after all.
**[04:33] Soji**
Well, shit, I like that even less.
**[04:36] Soji**
If you're able to pull that off
with a brush instead of a sword,
**[04:40] Soji**
why exactly did all the people
you killed have to die?
**[04:46] Soji**
What? You mad?
**[04:48] Raizo**
No. But I sincerely believe you have
a better head on your shoulders than I.
**[04:55] Soji**
Man, shut up! Go sharpen that
butcher's knife of yours or something!
**[05:03] Soji**
You better not start thinking
you can do what the boss does.
**[05:06] Soji**
By the time they first dipped him in a bath,
**[05:09] Soji**
he was already the kinda monster who could
paint, fold gold, and kill as good as anyone.
**[05:15] Raizo**
Is something the matter?
**[05:16] Soji**
Huh? No, man, why?
**[05:19] Raizo**
Forgive me. I did not mean you.
**[05:25] Hana**
My friends... Weasel and Badger...
**[05:30] Hana**
They're missing.
**[05:34] Soji**
I'm always tellin' Hana not to hang out with
folk from the mountains, but she never listens.
**[05:40] Raizo**
This is quite the hill.
**[05:43] Raizo**
If the missing siblings lived up here,
how could Hana have met them?
**[05:48] Soji**
She tries to act grown-up,
but she's still a little brat.
**[05:52] Soji**
And sometimes, she misses her mom.
**[05:55] Raizo**
I see. She was visiting her grave.
**[06:01] Soji**
Aw, damn it. The kite battle's today.
**[06:06] Raizo**
That thing?
**[06:07] Soji**
That's right. Li'l Nio better do a good job.
**[06:11] Soji**
I'm betting my whole fortune on you!
**[06:14] Soji**
Bring home the big one again this year!
**[06:19] Nio**
There we go! There we go!
**[06:26] Nio**
Which one should I cut next?
**[06:28] Villager 1**
Don't even try it, little boy!
**[06:30] Villager 2**
I'll show you, little girl!
**[06:31] Nio**
Boy? Girl? Which is it gonna be?
**[06:35] Villager 1**
Little girl!
**[06:35] Villager 2**
Little boy!
**[06:40] Villager 1**
Hang on! Stay away from me!
**[06:42] Villager 2**
No, stay away!
**[06:45] Villager 2**
Damn it!
**[06:46] Villager 2**
I said stay away!
**[06:47] Doan**
Usui-san.
**[06:50] Doan**
It's wonderful to see you doing so well.
**[06:52] Doan**
And looking even more beautiful than before.
**[06:57] Yuen**
I don't think we know each other
well enough to celebrate meeting again.
**[07:05] Doan**
Then let me get straight to the point.
**[07:08] Doan**
I ask that you let me take back my monster.
**[07:12] Doan**
An angel with the taint of darkness.
**[07:16] Doan**
Our separation has been a folly that
I, Doan, have regretted ever since!
**[07:19] Yuen**
If you mean Nio, I don't appreciate
you using the term "monster."
**[07:24] Yuen**
And it isn't a matter of money.
**[07:27] Yuen**
Nio is a human being.
**[07:31] Doan**
Surely you jest!
**[07:33] Doan**
All of the monstrosities in the
Doan Company pale by comparison.
**[07:37] Doan**
You're talking about an abomination
that reigns over all others.
**[07:41] Yuen**
Please leave. We have
nothing else to discuss.
**[07:44] Doan**
Do you truly think a demon would be
pleased at being defanged, declawed,
**[07:48] Doan**
and dressed as a human?
**[07:50] Doan**
Usui-sama, I am asking you
to set the beast free.
**[07:55] Yuen**
Leave.
**[07:57] Nio**
I wonder what I should get
Soji to buy me when I win.
**[08:00] Nio**
Hey, Yuen!
**[08:10] Villagers**
Hurray!
**[08:19] Raizo**
The two siblings are not the
only ones who are missing.
**[08:22] Raizo**
It seems a number of children with
remarkable appearances have disappeared.
**[08:28] Yuen**
No one cares how many children
from the mountains go missing.
**[08:33] Yuen**
That's simply how it is in Nagasaki.
**[08:41] Yuen**
That said, it was likely
the Doan Company's doing.
**[08:45] Raizo**
I heard they kidnap unfortunate children
and make them part of their show.
**[08:50] Yuen**
In the past, they were a simple
company of traveling performers.
**[08:54] Yuen**
But at some point, their chief, Doan,
began collecting children who were different,
**[08:59] Yuen**
with scant regard for anything else.
**[09:02] Raizo**
You know a lot about this.
**[09:04] Yuen**
Nio used to be among their number.
**[09:07] Yuen**
I brought that child into my care,
because I wanted to do something.
**[09:11] Yuen**
But it seems Doan regrets letting Nio go.
**[09:15] Yuen**
He visited me this afternoon.
**[09:17] Raizo**
And this Doan—
**[09:18] Soji**
Whoa, whoa, hold on a second!
**[09:21] Soji**
You mean to tell me Nio
lost because of that guy?!
**[09:25] Yuen**
It must have come as a shock, yes.
**[09:28] Soji**
That don't cut it, man!
I lost everything I had on that bet!
**[09:32] Soji**
And where the hell is Nio now?
**[09:34] Yuen**
In hiding for the time being,
just to be on the safe side.
**[10:11] Badger**
Let go!
**[10:12] Weasel**
G-G-Get off! Put us down!
**[10:40] Nio**
Doan.
**[10:46] Doan**
Nio.
**[10:53] Doan**
My beloved beast. Why are you here?
**[10:58] Nio**
You wanted to make me yours, right?
**[11:02] Doan**
Yes! I'll never let you go again!
**[11:05] Doan**
You belong only to me.
**[11:10] Nio**
In that case, how much are you willing to pay?
**[11:20] Attraction A**
Give me my doll back.
**[11:22] Attraction B**
Mommy... Mommy!
**[11:26] Snake Woman**
Come on, no more crying. I've got food.
**[11:29] Attraction C**
Gimme!
**[11:31] Attraction misc**
I miss my mommy!
**[11:31] Snake Woman**
Hang on, I've got yours right here. Just a sec.
**[11:35] Snake Woman**
Here you go.
**[11:39] Attraction Misc**
Give it back.
**[11:41] Weasel**
Cut it out already! Put Badger down!
**[11:46] Snake Woman**
Hey!
**[11:48] Snake Woman**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[11:55] Snake Woman**
Eat up and try to stay quiet.
**[11:57] Snake Woman**
If you don't wanna end up getting
slugged like me, you should do as they say.
**[12:07] Badger**
What's gonna happen to us?
**[12:13] Nio**
Well, if you learn some tricks,
life might not be so bad.
**[12:17] Badger**
Who are you?
**[12:19] Nio**
I mean, it's better than
living in the mountains.
**[12:23] Nio**
You get to eat every day
and sleep under a roof.
**[12:27] Badger**
I wanna go home.
I bet Hana's looking for us.
**[12:32] Weasel**
Yeah. No way are we staying here.
**[12:35] Nio**
Oh, is that right?
**[12:49] Soji**
Hell yeah! Nicely done, Nio!
**[12:51] Soji**
I might not starve now!
**[12:54] Raizo**
So the target for revenge
is the Doan Company.
**[12:57] Raizo**
And the coin was bitten by
the twins Hana is searching for?
**[13:01] Raizo**
This works out perfectly.
**[13:04] Teppa**
How exactly did some kids from
the mountains get a gold coin?
**[13:09] Teppa**
And how did you end up receiving it?
**[13:11] Nio**
Does it matter?
**[13:13] Nio**
I was on my way back from saying hi to Doan.
**[13:17] Nio**
I came across it by chance. Honest.
**[13:20] Yuen**
I asked you to stay away from Doan.
**[13:22] Nio**
Oh, did you?
**[13:24] Teppa**
Well, this all seems a little too convenient.
**[13:27] Soji**
Whoa, excuse me, but when did we start
questioning where the coins come from?
**[13:32] Soji**
This is bitten gold, same as any other.
**[13:34] Soji**
And now that it's in our hands,
**[13:37] Soji**
ain't it our job as revengers to
get to work, no questions asked?
**[13:40] Soji**
Or are you gonna tell me that every
other time, all those cases were legit?
**[13:48] Teppa**
Well, you've got a point there.
**[13:51] Teppa**
Once the gold bears the mark of a grudge,
we have no choice but to act.
**[13:56] Nio**
And there you have it.
Isn't this great, Yuen?
**[14:00] Nio**
Don't give me that scary look.
You wanted him dead, too, right?
**[14:06] Nio**
Oh, but Doan's mine, okay?
**[14:09] Nio**
Since I'm the one who
brought the revenge in.
**[14:12] Nio**
I can have that, can't I?
**[14:20] Nio**
Thanks for getting this for me so quickly.
**[14:23] Nio**
I promised Doan I'd be back tonight.
**[14:30] Nio**
It's too late, y'know.
**[14:32] Nio**
If you wanted to keep me from going,
you should've killed him first.
**[14:37] Nio**
You could've done it without
anyone catching on, right?
**[14:42] Yuen**
It's not a question of whether anyone knows.
**[14:45] Yuen**
I have already strayed from God's path.
**[14:47] Yuen**
I adhere to a code because it's
the last way I can stay faithful.
**[14:56] Nio**
I don't get this stuff
about religion and codes.
**[15:02] Nio**
* But I do get that we can't kill*
* without a coin, because Yuen says so.*
**[15:07] Nio**
*But we've got a coin now, so it's fine, right?*
**[15:15] Soji**
How's it looking? Nio said
everything should be set.
**[15:19] Soji**
You think we're gonna find
that Doan guy snoozing?
**[15:24] Raizo**
If he is the villain we have been
told he is, I doubt he fully trusts Nio.
**[15:28] Soji**
I hear that.
**[15:30] Soji**
See? And here they are.
**[15:33] Soji**
Okay, since we're the decoys,
let's make this flashy...
**[15:40] Soji**
I didn't mean literally!
**[15:47] Soji**
Damn it.
**[15:49] Soji**
Hey, samurai! You get the fat fire freak!
**[16:02] Teppa**
Seems you knew we were coming.
**[16:07] Teppa**
It's been a while, but...
**[16:10] Teppa**
Guess it's time for a test of strength.
**[16:23] Soji**
Bastard!
**[16:27] Soji**
Asshole.
**[16:37] Raizo**
If this keeps up...
**[16:39] Soji**
He really lit a fire under us.
**[16:42] Soji**
Take the whole deck, then!
**[16:53] Knife thrower**
Damn you!
**[17:03] Knife thrower**
Get your fat ass off me! You're in the way!
**[17:13] Soji**
Well, *someone* sure owes *someone*.
**[17:15] Raizo**
I do not know which of us you mean.
**[17:24] Teppa**
Steady as she goes!
**[17:33] Teppa**
Honestly...
**[17:35] Teppa**
See what happens when you play with fire?
**[17:39] Snake Woman**
Somebody! Get the keys, please!
**[17:42] Snake Woman**
The kids will burn to death otherwise!
**[17:48] Snake Woman**
Get out of here quick, boys!
**[17:51] Snake Woman**
Help the kids who can't walk, you hear?
**[17:56] Nio**
That's right. I want your eyes on me.
**[18:00] Doan**
My precious abomination...
**[18:03] Nio**
You wanted me to be
yours and only yours, right?
**[18:14] Doan**
Yes. I knew.
**[18:21] Nio**
That's right. If you want to make sure
I belong to you alone, this is how.
**[18:47] Doan**
I can't.
**[18:49] Doan**
I can't bring myself... to destroy you.
**[18:53] Nio**
Okay.
**[18:54] Nio**
In that case, I guess I'll have
to make you mine, Doan.
**[19:03] Doan**
Yes. From the very beginning,
this was meant to be.
**[19:10] Doan**
You exquisite creature.
**[19:12] Doan**
At long last, I can become yours.
**[19:18] Nio**
You've been waiting for this for a while, huh?
**[19:21] Nio**
Now I'll love you, Doan.
**[19:43] Hana**
Hey! Quit running!
**[20:19] Nio**
This cake is expensive. What gives, Soji?
**[20:21] Nio**
It must have cost most
of your take from the job.
**[20:26] Soji**
You said the other day that
you wanted to eat your fill of it.
**[20:31] Soji**
I guess I'd say... I'm just glad Hana's
not worried sick anymore, all right?
**[20:36] Nio**
But then there was no point!
**[20:40] Nio**
I got those kids to bite the gold
'cause you said you were going broke.
**[20:46] Nio**
I didn't wanna hear you
whining about the kite battle.
**[20:50] Nio**
If you weren't gonna keep the money,
I shouldn't have bothered killing Doan.
**[20:53] Nio**
And those kids would've probably been
better off there than back in the mountains.
**[20:57] Soji**
What the hell? You mean to
tell me you set up the whole thing?
**[21:01] Nio**
Why are you giving me that look?
**[21:03] Nio**
You're the one who said one piece of
bitten gold is the same as any other.
**[21:15] Teppa**
Nio asked me something the other day.
**[21:17] Teppa**
Whether living in a town
where I can smell the sea
**[21:21] Teppa**
made me miss my old days as a scoundrel.
**[21:25] Yuen**
What did you say?
**[21:27] Teppa**
Same thing I said to you.
**[21:29] Teppa**
I take these kinds of jobs to keep
that side of myself in check.
**[21:35] Yuen**
I doubt Nio understood what you meant.
**[21:38] Teppa**
Well, that's human nature.
**[21:41] Teppa**
Even if it only amounts to an excuse,
we try to justify the things we do.
**[21:46] Teppa**
Except for Nio, who doesn't feel the need.
**[21:52] Yuen**
Even if that is the case...
**[21:56] Yuen**
I still want Nio to live like a human being.
