[01:33] (Flashback) Hotaru
    It's cold!
[01:37] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Mister!
[01:39] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Where are we going next?
[01:44] (Flashback) Hotaru
    You should take me to all kinds of places!
[01:51] Tsuru
    Stop!
SIGN    Gardenia-Colored Light
[02:09] Tsuru
    Did he...
[02:23] Tsuru
    He was able to avoid it, from that position?!
[02:25] Hotaru
    Hurts...
[02:30] Hotaru
    Take this!
[02:34] Hotaru
    It didn't work.
[02:41] Tsuru
    Hotaru!
[02:54] Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii!
[02:56] Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii, are you all right?
[02:57] Tsuru
    Yeah...
[02:59] Hotaru
    I'm gonna treat you right away, okay?
[03:13] Hotaru
    This wound...
[03:16] Tsuru
    I-It's fine. I just need... rest...
[03:25] Teacher
    Nature is a treasure trove of medicine.
[03:28] Teacher
    Beach vitex fruit, lycium root, amur cork bark...
     All can serve as antidotes.
[03:29] Hotaru
    A long time ago,
[03:30] Hotaru
    there were a bunch of other kids who
    were also being raised as assassins.
[03:39] Hotaru
    We were comrades, who all trained together
[03:42] Hotaru
    so we could do a big mission some day...
[03:45] Hotaru
    No.
[03:46] Hotaru
    We were friends.
[03:52] Hotaru
    We endured the harsh training
    because we had each other.
[03:58] Hotaru
    But then, suddenly,
    it was time to say goodbye.
[04:03] (Flashback) Teacher 2
    All of you are going to
    attempt to kill each other!
[04:08] (Flashback) ---
    Whoever survives to the end
    will be presented with this:
[04:11] (Flashback) ---
    The Shifting Spirit Turtle.
[04:16] Hotaru
    To survive, I had to kill my friends.
[04:20] Hotaru
    But I wasn't sad when it was over.
[04:25] Hotaru
    Everyone has their time.
[04:27] Hotaru
    When my time comes,
    I'll be able to join my friends.
[04:36] Hotaru
    Can he really hit me from up there?
[04:43] Tsuru
    It can't be... Did he notice me?
[04:49] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I'm wide open. Why doesn't he take the shot?
[04:53] (Flashback) Tsuru
    He's wide open... Is he
    trying to get me to shoot?
[04:58] (Flashback) Hotaru
    He's been watching me
    morning, noon, and night.
[05:03] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Doesn't he get bored?
[05:04] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Morning, noon, and night,
    all he does is goof around.
[05:08] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Is he really the target?
[05:11] (Flashback) Hotaru
    And he still hasn't taken a shot.
[05:14] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I'm getting tired...
[05:16] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Maybe I should put an end to this.
[05:20] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I'll make it clean, with one shot.
[05:27] (Flashback) Tsuru
    What?! Damn it! He's mocking me!
[05:37] Hotaru
    I don't see any lycium
    or amur cork anywhere...
[05:39] Hotaru
    Maybe I should look a bit further ahead.
[05:42] Hotaru
    After that, Tsuru-nii and
    I started traveling together...
[05:51] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Yeah, it's okay. No one is following us.
[05:54] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I see.
[05:55] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Are you sure this is a good idea?
[05:57] (Flashback) Hotaru
    You killed your friends.
[05:59] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I was already fed up with them.
[06:01] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I see. I guess it's fine, then.
[06:07] Tsuru
    He seems like a totally normal kid
    at times like these...
[06:11] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Hey, mister,
[06:13] (Flashback) Hotaru
    why don't we see who can kill the most
    enemies next time they catch up with us?
[06:25] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Three behind that building.
[06:28] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Two hiding in the shadow of
    that tree across the way.
[06:31] (Flashback) Tsuru
    The samurai sitting on the
    bench is after us, too.
[06:34] (Flashback) Hotaru
    What do you wanna do?
[06:35] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Why fight if we don't have to?
[06:41] (Flashback) Hotaru
    So hot...
[06:47] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Mister...
[06:49] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Are you sure it's a good idea
    to rest in a hot spring?
[06:52] (Flashback) Tsuru
    It's important to take breaks sometimes.
[06:56] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Do you not like hot springs?
[06:57] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Not really, no.
[06:59] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I can never last until the count of 100.
[07:02] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Such a kid.
[07:05] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I guess old geezers like long baths, huh?
[07:07] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Make sure to keep an eye out, little boy.
[07:11] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Yeah, it'd be pretty sad
    if you died naked, grandpa!
[07:25] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Come on, just talk. Where
    are you guys coming from?
[07:29] (Flashback) Hotaru
    If you tell me, I'll put
    you out of your misery.
[07:36] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Don't do that. It's disgusting.
[07:38] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Wouldn't it be better to go on the attack,
    instead of running around?
[07:42] (Flashback) Tsuru
    The owls are part of a massive organization.
[07:44] (Flashback) Tsuru
    They're not the kind of enemy
    the two of us can take down.
[07:46] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Besides...
[07:50] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I don't want you doing this
    sort of thing ever again.
[07:52] (Flashback) Hotaru
    You mean torture?
[07:53] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Yeah.
[07:54] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Why not? It's a pretty standard way
    of getting intel from an enemy.
[07:59] (Flashback) Tsuru
    It's not the kind of thing a child should do.
[08:01] (Flashback) Tsuru
    You're still young.
    It's not too late to start over.
[08:13] (Flashback) Mom
    Oh, aren't you full of energy?
[08:14] (Flashback) Dad
    He sure is. That's good to see.
[08:18] (Flashback) Mom
    Getting bigger, too!
[08:20] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Sorry about the wait.
[08:21] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Hey, mister...
[08:24] (Flashback) Hotaru
    What were your mother and father like?
[08:28] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I don't think I've ever
    met my parents before.
[08:32] (Flashback) Hotaru
    What's it like having a family?
[08:36] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Couldn't tell you.
[08:37] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Do you have any kids, mister?
[08:40] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Let's get moving.
[09:13] (Flashback) Hotaru
    You're such a worrywart.
[09:16] (Flashback) Tsuru
    There's no telling when we could be attacked.
    Nothing wrong with being cautious.
[09:19] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Can't we just, y'know, kill 'em all?
[09:26] (Flashback) Tsuru
    What are you going to do?
[09:31] (Flashback) Tsuru
    You can't just keep running with me, right?
[09:34] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Y'know, I think maybe we'd
    make good partners, mister.
[09:38] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I work alone.
[09:40] (Flashback) Hotaru
    But if you abandon me, I might die...
[09:45] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Wouldn't you be sad if I died?
[09:47] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Wouldn't you be ashamed
    to abandon a kid like me?
[09:50] (Flashback) Hotaru
    You're all grown up, but you're
    going to let them kill me...
[09:54] (Flashback) Tsuru
    You're a kid when it's
    convenient for you, I see.
[09:57] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Well, I am a kid.
[09:59] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Suit yourself!
[10:00] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I'll do just that!
[10:06] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Listen. When you're surrounded, make sure
    the enemy isn't able to get behind you.
[10:10] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Right!
[10:12] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Try to aim for vital points.
    Take them out quickly.
[10:15] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I know!
[10:18] (Flashback) Tsuru
    He's a real handful!
[10:53] (Flashback) Friends
    It's finally time to eat!
[10:54] Friends
    This looks good!
[10:56] (Flashback) Friends
    I'm so hungry...
[10:58] (Flashback) Friends
    You're making the weirdest face!
[11:03] (Flashback) Friends
    So good.
[11:08] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Guys!
[11:10] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Why?!
[11:13] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I'll go, too! Wait for me!
[11:30] (Flashback) Tsuru
    A waterfall!
[11:38] (Flashback) Tsuru
    There's a cave in a place like this.
[11:40] (Flashback) Tsuru
    This place is sacred to ascetic monks.
[11:57] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Have you ever heard of "rusted armors"?
[11:59] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Rusted... armors?
[12:03] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Yeah. It's said that the
    dragon stones in armors
[12:06] (Flashback) Tsuru
    that have a long lineage will
    glow with the color of rust.
[12:08] (Flashback) Tsuru
    My Phoenix Crasher and your Shifting
     Spirit Turtle are both rusted armors.
[12:18] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Rusted armors are said to demand
    the lifeforce of their user
[12:21] (Flashback) Tsuru
    in exchange for the power they offer.
[12:24] (Flashback) Tsuru
    The slightest mistake could
    result in your death.
[12:28] (Flashback) Tsuru
    A pretty literal double-edged weapon...
[12:31] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Open this.
[12:34] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Is this for me?
[12:36] (Flashback) Tsuru
    It's too soon for you to
    be using a rusted armor.
[12:39] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Something like that should
    be easier for you to use.
[12:42] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Thanks! I'll take good care of it.
[12:46] (Flashback) Tsuru
    We'll hide the Shifting Spirit Turtle here.
[12:50] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I doubt anyone is going to dig around
     the statue, out of fear of being cursed...
[12:54] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Yeah.
[12:57] (Flashback) Hotaru
    So, what are we gonna do now?
[12:59] (Flashback) Tsuru
    We'll head to the land of Ki.
[13:01] (Flashback) Hotaru
    The land of Ki?
[13:02] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Right. The people there don't owe
    allegiance to any of the daimyo clans...
[13:06] (Flashback) Tsuru
    It's an independent province, where people
    make their living working as mercenaries.
[13:10] (Flashback) Tsuru
    We'll be able to hide there for a while.
[13:12] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Got it. I'll let you handle the planning.
[13:16] (Flashback) Hotaru
    So, I was wondering, mister...
[13:19] (Flashback) Tsuru
    What is it?
[13:21] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I wanted to know... your name.
[13:23] (Flashback) Tsuru
    My name?
[13:25] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Yeah. I can't just keep
    calling you "mister," can I?
[13:29] (Flashback) Tsuru
    My name, huh?
[13:30] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Yeah.
[13:32] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Tsurukubi.
[13:34] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Tsurukubi?
[13:35] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Yeah. One of the people who trained
    me to fight gave me that name.
[13:39] (Flashback) Hotaru
    What about the name your parents gave you?
[13:42] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I abandoned it the day
    I became an assassin...
[13:46] (Flashback) Hotaru
    So, Tsuru... Tsuru...
[13:49] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii!
[13:52] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Well, would you prefer Uncle Tsuru?
[13:56] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii?
[14:01] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii it is! Yeah,
    it makes the most sense.
[14:05] (Flashback) Hotaru
    As for me...
[14:09] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Hey!
[14:12] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Wait!
[14:23] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Fireflies, huh?
[14:27] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Wow! They look just like stars in the sky!
[14:30] (Flashback) Tsuru
    There's an old saying about fireflies
    being the souls of the dead.
[14:34] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Dead people?
[14:36] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Yeah.
[14:37] (Flashback) Tsuru
    People used to compare how fleeting human
    life could be with the light of fireflies.
[14:43] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii... I used to
    want to die all the time.
[14:50] (Flashback) Hotaru
    It'd be selfish to want to live,
    having killed so many people, right?
[14:57] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii... I...
    Is it okay for me to be alive?
[15:03] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I don't know.
[15:05] (Flashback) Tsuru
    All we can do now is live in a way
    that the dead will forgive us for.
[15:11] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Nothing more.
[15:13] (Flashback) Friends
    Hey!
[15:15] (Flashback) Friends
    Come on!
[15:26] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I need to ask you for something, Tsuru-nii.
[15:28] (Flashback) Tsuru
    What is it?
[15:29] (Flashback) Hotaru
    I want you to give me a name.
[15:31] (Flashback) Tsuru
    A name?
[15:34] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Fireflies...
[15:36] (Flashback) Tsuru
    Hotarubi?
[15:38] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Hotarubi?
[15:39] (Flashback) Tsuru
    You don't like it?
[15:40] (Flashback) Hotaru
    No! Hotarubi!
[15:43] (Flashback) Hotaru
    Like the light of fireflies! I like it!
[15:51] (Flashback) Tsuru
    The Shifting Spirit Turtle
    provides incredible power,
[15:55] (Flashback) Tsuru
    but it puts a heavy strain
    on the mind and body.
[15:58] (Flashback) Tsuru
    I hope the day never comes
    when you'll need this armor...
[16:04] Hotaru
    I'm sorry. But I want to help you, Tsuru-nii!
[16:24] Hotaru
    Didn't he die already?

    May Showers!
[16:43] ---
    Are you kidding me?
[16:50] ---
    Tsuru-nii!
[16:50] Tsuru
    Are you hurt?
[16:51] Hotaru
    Nah.
[16:52] Tsuru
    That armor is shutting down his sense
    of pain, and amplifying his vitality...
[16:57] Tsuru
    The only way to stop him is to
    cut off his source of power.
[17:03] Hotaru
    Shifting Spirit Turtle,
    second dance: Water Prison!

    Eternity!
[17:29] Tsuru
    That's...
[17:35] Tsuru
    There it is!
[17:58] Hotaru
    Is he dead?
[17:59] Tsuru
    Yeah.
[18:01] Hotaru
    What do you suppose happened to him?
[18:03] Tsuru
    Maybe the backlash from overusing the armor.
[18:08] Tsuru
    More importantly...
[18:10] Hotaru
    I'm sorry! But I wanted to help you!
[18:14] Tsuru
    It's okay. I wasn't able to keep you safe—
[18:18] Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii!
[18:19] Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii, are you okay?!
[18:21] Tsuru
    Hotaru... you... okay?
[18:26] Hotaru
    You can be so crazy sometimes.
[18:30] Hotaru
    Thank you, Tsuru-nii.
[18:42] Deku
    We never did get any leads on the two
    of them. Where do you suppose they went?
[18:49] Mago
    We can ask at that village.
[18:57] Deku
    Damn, man...
[19:00] Deku
    Did bandits do this?
[19:02] Mago
    No. It doesn't look ransacked.
