[00:15] Imagawa
    Just who are you people?!
SIGN    Gray Testament
[02:01] Hototogisu
    I have news.
[02:02] Hototogisu
    Ootomo of Chikuzen and Date of Michinoku
    have both joined the conquistadors.
[02:10] Hototogisu
    Indiscriminate slaughter is being
    carried out across the country.
[02:14] Saburo
    What of Magoichi and the other one?
[02:16] Hototogisu
    They're heading to Omi,
     searching for Kurohyo.
[02:19] Saburo
    Omi?
[02:20] Saburo
    I see... They'll be in Kunitomo, then.
[02:33] Kuro
    Okay.
[02:52] Kuro
    I'll kill them!
[02:55] Kuro
    Kill! Kill!
[02:58] Kuro
    Kill! Kill!
[03:00] Kuro
    Kill you all!
[03:08] Kuro
    I'll kill you! Every last one of you!
[03:11] Kuro
    Every last one!
[03:15] Kuro
    For as long as I can remember,
    a boiling rage has kept me going.
[03:19] Kuro
    When I was born, my heart was in bad shape...
    They said I wouldn't have a long life.
[03:26] Kuro
    I cursed the heavens themselves for
    giving me a body like this.
[03:31] Kuro
    I was good with my hands, though.
[03:34] Kuro
    I saw the craftsmen working in the forges...
[03:38] Kuro
    And then started hammering iron,
    copying what I had seen.
[03:40] Kuro
    I hammered, and I hammered,
    and I never stopped!
[03:45] Kuro
    I wanted to make the kind of gun
    that Magoichi would use one day!
[03:50] Kuro
    It was my dream.
[03:53] Kuro
    "Magoichi" is the name of a Saika hero.
[03:56] Kuro
    In our village, for generations,
[03:58] Kuro
    the boss responsible for protecting
    the village took the name Magoichi.
[04:01] Kuro
    My own dad was a mercenary,
[04:04] Kuro
    who traveled around the country
    to support the village.
[04:07] (Flashback) Kuro
    Dad, are you heading out again?
[04:10] (Flashback) Dad
    Yeah.
[04:12] Kuro
    And just like that, he took off...
[04:15] Kuro
    And it was never the same again.
[04:19] Kuro
    I remember, I was around
    16 when it happened...
[04:23] Kuro
    An epidemic hit the whole province of Ki.
[04:27] Kuro
    My whole family died, leaving me behind
[04:32] Kuro
    so I could wait for my own death.
[04:36] Kuro
    But then a scholar who came
    from overseas saved my life.
[04:41] Kuro
    I forget her name... Sara, maybe?
[04:46] Kuro
    Thanks to her, I lived, but the price...
    was my arms and legs.
[04:56] Kuro
    Out of ammo?
[05:20] Kuro
    What punishment is this? Is it karma?
[05:24] Kuro
    What the hell did I do?
[05:25] Kuro
    Answer me! Whoever did this
    to me, I want an answer!
[05:35] (Flashback) Kuro
    Damn it...
[05:42] (Flashback) Dad
    Kuro? What's happened?
[05:45] (Flashback) Kuro
    How about I get answers first?
[05:47] (Flashback) Kuro
    Where the hell have you been?
[05:50] (Flashback) Dad
    Where are your mom and the others?
[05:51] (Flashback) Kuro
    They're all dead. I'm all that's left.
[05:57] (Flashback) Kuro
    And I'm not gonna last long.
[06:10] (Flashback) Dad
    How are you feeling?
[06:11] (Flashback) Kuro
    Do I look good to you?
[06:19] (Flashback) Dad
    Y'know, I never did show
    you the armor, did I?
[06:28] (Flashback) Dad
    This rusted armor is the White
    Tiger Reaper, a divine treasure.
[06:32] (Flashback) Dad
    Our clan has used it to defend
    the village for generations.
[06:37] (Flashback) Kuro
    Who gives a shit?
[06:40] (Flashback) Dad
    If I said I could get your limbs
    working again, what would you say?
[06:44] (Flashback) Kuro
    Are you screwing with me?!
[06:45] (Flashback) Dad
    Just listen.
[06:49] (Flashback) Dad
    This dragon stone has power.
[06:52] (Flashback) Dad
    And I'm not positive,
[06:54] (Flashback) Dad
    but I think using it and the armor
[06:56] (Flashback) Dad
    will allow me to fix your body
     and cure your illness...
[07:00] (Flashback) Dad
    If that's what you want.
[07:03] (Flashback) Kuro
    Give it a rest.
[07:08] (Flashback) Kuro
    What do you think you're doing?!
[07:09] (Flashback) Kuro
    You abandon us for years, and now
    you wanna act like a father?!
[07:14] (Flashback) Kuro
    Well, screw you! Because of you...
[07:17] (Flashback) Kuro
    Because you weren't here,
    the whole family's dead!
[07:20] (Flashback) Kuro
    And even when I'm dead, I won't forgive you!
[07:37] (Flashback) Kuro
    Okay. It's ready!
[07:42] (Flashback) Kuro
    Dad, I finally finished my gun for Magoichi!
[07:49] (Flashback) Kuro
    Huh...?
[08:08] (Flashback) Kuro
    Hey...
[08:11] (Flashback) Kuro
    You said you could get
     my body working again.
[08:16] (Flashback) Kuro
    Is it possible?
[08:18] (Flashback) Dad
    It is.
[08:20] Kuro
    So my old man
[08:21] Kuro
    started trying to use the link between
    the dragon stone and the armor...
[08:24] ---
    It all sounded pretty complicated,
[08:27] ---
    but I understood this much:
[08:29] ---
    The dragon stone goes into my chest,
    to replace my weakening heart...
[08:36] ---
    That would then get the prosthetics
    he made from the armor moving.
[08:42] (Flashback) Dad
    Stop moving, fool!
[08:43] (Flashback) Kuro
    Hey, I'm sick!
[08:45] (Flashback) Dad
    That makes me your doctor, then!
[08:47] (Flashback) Dad
    So if you wanna play patient,
     do as your doctor says!
[08:54] Kuro
    I guess what dad did, more or less,
    was turn me into a living armor.
[08:59] (Flashback) Dad
    Not too shabby, eh?
[09:01] (Flashback) Kuro
    You wanna really screw around, now?
[09:03] (Flashback) Dad
    I'm dead serious.
[09:05] (Flashback) Kuro
    You wanna die, then?!
[09:18] (Flashback) Dad
    How do you feel?
[09:20] (Flashback) Kuro
    What the hell do you think?
    I'm freaking out so much, I might pass.
[09:24] (Flashback) Dad
    Kuro, there's something I need to ask of you.
[09:27] (Flashback) Kuro
    What?
[09:28] (Flashback) Dad
    If this doesn't work, forgive me.
[09:30] (Flashback) Kuro
    It had better work! You need to
    bust your ass to make sure it does!
[09:33] (Flashback) Dad
    You don't need to worry about that.
    I'll do everything I can.
[09:44] Kuro
    I don't really remember what happened next...
[09:48] Kuro
    But I can vaguely remember
    the look on my dad's face
[09:54] Kuro
    as he desperately tried to save me.
[10:00] (Flashback) Dad
    Kuro... a bit longer.
[10:04] (Flashback) Dad
    I need you to hold on a little longer.
[10:08] (Flashback) Dad
    It's okay. Leave it to your old man.
[10:14] (Flashback) Kuro
    Quit acting like you're a proper dad...
[10:24] (Flashback) Dad
    Awake, eh?
[10:35] (Flashback) Dad
    You took it better than I expected.
[10:37] (Flashback) Dad
    The procedure was a success.
[10:42] (Flashback) Dad
    It's gonna take a while,
[10:44] (Flashback) Dad
    but once you're used to them,
    they'll work as well as real limbs.
[10:53] (Flashback) Kuro
    It moved! This is awesome!
[10:55] (Flashback) Kuro
    Did you see that?! It moved!
[11:02] (Flashback) Kuro
    Hey... Hey, what's wrong?!
[11:06] (Flashback) Dad
    This is all I can do for you...
[11:10] (Flashback) Dad
    When they die, the master of a rusted armor's
    soul becomes one with the dragon stone,
[11:16] (Flashback) Dad
    and is passed to the next generation..
[11:19] (Flashback) Dad
    It happened to my dad, his father,
    and his father before that...
[11:25] (Flashback) Kuro
    Hang on... You're telling me you're gonna die?!
[11:33] (Flashback) Kuro
    You're joking, right?
[11:35] (Flashback) Kuro
    There has to be a reason you survived.
[11:41] (Flashback) Kuro
    Screw that! No, no, screw that!
[11:45] (Flashback) Kuro
    Don't you dare die on me!
    I haven't forgiven you yet, all right?!
[11:49] (Flashback) Kuro
    Do you know how much we all
    suffered because of you?!
[11:55] (Flashback) Dad
    Kuro... live.
[12:00] (Flashback) Kuro
    Damn it, this can't be happening!
[12:09] (Flashback) Kuro
    It can't be happening... you old bastard...
[12:31] Kuro
    I'm alone again.
[12:46] Kuro
    I can't even take care of myself now...
    Is there any point to being alive like this?
[12:53] Kuro
    Dad...
[13:04] Kuro
    "I've been traveling across the nation for years,
    looking for a way to cure Kuro."
[13:14] Dad
    Chinese medicine, modern and traditional...
[13:17] Dad
    Folk remedies...
[13:20] Dad
    None of it will do.
[13:22] Dad
    They can help with the pain,
    but can't fix the root illness.
[13:28] Dad
    But there is hope... in the dragon stone.
[13:32] Dad
    It has the power to instantly heal a wound.
[13:36] Dad
    Could it use that same power to
    cure Kuro's weakened heart?
[13:42] Dad
    I've been able to come up with a
    theoretical application so far.
[13:47] Dad
    But it's no good. It's still too risky.
[13:50] Dad
    I need more reliable information.
[13:53] Dad
    When I'm in combat,
    my thoughts always wander...
[13:56] (Flashback) Commander
    Charge!
[13:57] Dad
    Is my wife doing well?
[14:01] Dad
    Are my children getting along?
[14:04] Dad
    I just hope Kuro's condition
    hasn't gotten worse.
[14:08] Dad
    I still have work left undone...
[14:11] Dad
    And I won't die until I see it through!
[14:20] (Flashback) Dad
    I'm sorry... I was too late.
[14:27] Dad
    That's the price I paid for
    ignoring my family for so long.
[14:30] Dad
    It's only natural he hates me.
[14:32] Dad
    I'm a failure as a father,
[14:36] Dad
    and I know I can't ever make up for it,
[14:39] Dad
    but in the end, it'd be nice if
    I could do something for him.
[14:53] Dad
    A little more...
[14:58] Dad
    Just a bit more.
[15:03] (Flashback) Kuro
    Dad!
[15:06] Dad
    Kuro, if you're reading this, it's
    probably after I'm already gone.
[15:16] Dad
    You survived the epidemic, and you
    got through a difficult surgery.
[15:22] Dad
    You have vitality.
[15:25] Dad
    And one day, the armor will truly
    be like a part of your own body.
[15:31] Dad
    Live on, Kuro.
[15:34] Dad
    With your armor.
[15:47] (Flashback) Kuro
    Shit, this hurts...
[15:49] (Flashback) Kuro
    It's like standing on a pile of needles.
[15:55] (Flashback) ---
    
[16:06] (Flashback) Kuro
    It's not a damn show, all right?!
[16:10] Kuro
    Year three.
[16:12] Kuro
    I reconfigured the White Tiger Reaper parts
    on my right arm, and tried firing it.
[16:24] (Flashback) Kuro
    Why the hell isn't it hitting anything?!
[16:30] (Flashback) Kuro
    Don't break after one blast, dumbass!
[16:35] Kuro
    Year four. I was finally able to run.
[16:41] Kuro
    I'd been training my body to endure
    the burden of the armor
[16:55] Kuro
    and working on focusing my chi.
[17:06] Kuro
    And then came year five...
[17:29] ---
    Okay.
[17:34] Kuro
    Damn it.
[17:41] Kuro
    I'm surrounded...
[17:47] Kuro
    My dad kept me alive...
[17:49] Kuro
    I'm not dying in a place like this!
[18:05] ---
    
[18:06] Kuro
    Who the hell is this?
[18:13] Deku
    Did Kurohyo do all of this?
[18:21] Mago
    Deku, let's go!
[18:22] Deku
    Yeah!
[18:27] Kuro
    
[18:30] Kuro
    I'm not done!
[18:32] Dad
    There has to be a reason you survived.
[18:36] Dad
    Live, Kuro.
[18:38] Kuro
    I'm not gonna die,
[18:41] Kuro
    damn it!
[18:52] Kuro
    He's...
[19:07] Mago
    You okay, Kurohyo?
[19:10] Kuro
    What the hell are you doing here?
[19:13] Mago
    What do you mean? I'm here to help.
[19:15] Kuro
    I don't need your damn help!
     I'm fine on my own!
[19:19] Mago
    But you're already injured...
[19:20] Kuro
    Screw you! I'm still good!
[19:23] Kuro
    Don't look down on me, asshole!
[19:25] Mago
    I'm not! I just want to
    protect one of my comrades.
[19:34] Cortez
    You've really become pathetic...

    Right.
[22:48] Sato
    They weren't wearing
     helmets in the anime,
[22:52] Sato
    but it's believed that
     they did in real life?
[22:54] Takeuchi
    Well, naturally, in combat you
    want to protect your head.
[22:57] Takeuchi
    Which is what led to them wearing these.
[23:01] Takeuchi
    It was actually made
    in the Saika lands,
[23:05] Takeuchi
    which you can tell from the text on them.
[23:08] Takeuchi
    It's pretty certain.
[23:09] Sato
