[00:14] Sakuna
So this is rice.
[00:17] Sakuna
It's so warm.
[00:22] Sakuna
The smell of the earth and
grass feels so comfortable.
[00:26] Sakuna
This fertile feeling satisfies the spirit.
[00:29] Sakuna
So this is my mother's...
[00:33] Toyohana
Sakuna. Sakuna.
[00:38] Toyohana
Sakuna.
[00:38] Kokorowa
Sakuna. Sakuna. Sakuna.
[00:44] Sakuna
Kokorowa?
[00:46] Sakuna
Why would you wake someone
who's sleeping so comfortably?
[00:49] Sakuna
Tama, water.
[00:52] Kokorowa
Tama is out.
[00:54] Kokorowa
The Bridge of Heaven just appeared,
and some humans crossed over.
[01:01] Sakuna
Humans?
[01:14] Tauemon
What is this place?
[01:15] Kinta
I can't see anything in this fog.
[01:18] Voice
Turn back. Turn back!
[01:23] Myrthe
What?
[01:24] Yui
What is this voice?
[01:25] Voice
Uninvited guests, the Lofty
Realm lies beyond this point.
[01:31] Voice
Humans do not belong there.
[01:35] Voice
Turn back. Turn back!
[01:42] Ishimaru
I finally found you, Katsura.
[01:47] Tauemon
Ishimaru.
[01:49] Tauemon
Ishimaru, why won't you leave us alone?
[01:53] Ishimaru
I doubt you realize it since you left
the group, but we're scraping by.
[01:58] Ishimaru
I can't allow those kids or a
traitor like you to walk free.
[02:05] Tauemon
Th-Then you leave me with no choice.
[02:16] Kinta
What are you being so weak-kneed for?
[02:20] Ishimaru
And you call yourself a samurai.
[02:24] Ishimaru
No matter. Let's settle this.
[02:29] Ishimaru
Who are you?
[02:30] Sakuna
Don't mind me. Carry on
with what you were doing.
[02:34] Sakuna
You're humans, aren't you?
[02:36] Sakuna
Newly arrived, and you're
already trying to kill each other?
[02:38] Sakuna
How amusing.
[02:39] Sakuna
Go on. Keep going.
[02:41] Ishimaru
That's a nice kimono you've got there.
[02:45] Sakuna
Even a lowly fellow like you
can recognize its quality?
[02:50] Sakuna
This fabric is expensive.
[02:53] Sakuna
It's worthy of Princess Sakuna,
the harvest goddess.
[02:58] Tauemon
Harvest goddess?
[03:00] Ishimaru
I was wondering what you'd
say, but a goddess?
[03:04] Ishimaru
You stink of sake for just a little kid.
[03:08] Sakuna
What did you say? I am...
[03:14] Sakuna
a grown adult!
[03:21] Sakuna
His insolence ruined my buzz.
[03:25] Sakuna
Humans, beyond this point is the
Lofty Realm, the domain of the gods.
[03:31] Sakuna
This bridge will vanish eventually.
[03:33] Sakuna
You should turn back before it does.
[03:36] Tauemon
The domain of the gods?
[03:39] Myrthe
Yanato has two worlds?
[03:43] Yui
Look.
SIGN Episode 1:
Princess Sakuna of the Lofty Realm
[05:29] Tama
You kicked the human?
[05:34] Sakuna
Yes, for his insolence.
[05:37] Sakuna
He got what he deserved.
[05:39] Tama
How many times have I told you?
[05:41] Tama
This is the Lofty Realm, where
the many gods of Yanato reside.
[05:45] Tama
You should act more like a
goddess, Your Highness.
[05:49] Tama
Your Highness!
[05:51] Sakuna
I know! Shut up.
[05:53] Kokorowa
Sakuna, you've returned.
[05:56] Sakuna
Yeah. Kokorowa, you missed out on the fun.
[06:00] Sakuna
There was an insolent human.
[06:02] Sakuna
When I kicked him, he went
flying like a grain of rice.
[06:06] Kokorowa
Then the Bridge of Heaven really does connect
[06:10] Kokorowa
the Lofty Realm to the Lowly
Realm where humans reside.
[06:15] Kokorowa
The bridge...
[06:17] Tama
The Bridge of Heaven suddenly
appears and suddenly vanishes.
[06:21] Tama
Even Lady Kamuhitsuki said
it's difficult to manage.
[06:27] Voice
Lady Kamuhitsuki has arrived!
[06:31] Voice
Lady Kamuhitsuki has arrived!
[06:42] Kamuhitsuki
I am pleased to have my
accession to the throne
[06:45] Kamuhitsuki
celebrated again this year with
such a marvelous banquet.
[06:50] Kamuhitsuki
This is because of all of
you. You have my thanks.
[06:55] Sakuna
Lady Kamuhitsuki is as big as ever.
[06:59] Tama
She'll hear you.
[07:00] Kamuhitsuki
I shall now announce your
duties for the year.
[07:10] Sakuna
I was wondering what this meeting was for.
[07:14] Sakuna
I'm sure I'll get it again.
[07:17] Sakuna
After all, official duties are assigned
according to our offerings.
[07:19] Tama
Your Highness, show some respect.
[07:21] Kamuhitsuki
I shall now assign the first of the duties.
[07:25] Kamuhitsuki
Princess Sakuna, step forward.
[07:28] Sakuna
See?
[07:37] Sakuna
You have my deepest gratitude.
[07:39] Kamuhitsuki
The flavor of your rice offering
was impressive indeed.
[07:44] Kamuhitsuki
I look forward to another
year of service from you.
SIGN Duty
[07:50] Hyotan
Princess Sakuna again?
[07:52] Madam
It'll be her for a while.
[07:55] Madam
She's still got a mountain of rice stored.
[08:03] Sakuna
This is exhausting.
[08:08] Sakuna
What is this automaton?
[08:10] Kokorowa
It's my offering this year.
[08:13] Kokorowa
It's perfect for guarding a shrine.
[08:17] Sakuna
Impressive.
[08:20] Sakuna
It'll be nice if you're assigned
an official duty someday.
[08:22] Sakuna
Now let's go.
[08:24] Sakuna
Apparently, those who received duties
this year receive new rooms.
[08:29] Kokorowa
New rooms?
[08:31] Sakuna
They're supposed to be pretty
high up. Let's go check it out.
[08:38] Sakuna
Now this is impressive.
[08:41] Sakuna
Look! You can see so far into the distance.
[08:44] Sakuna
And it's huge.
[08:46] Sakuna
You can roll around all you want
and never bump into anything.
[08:50] Kokorowa
It's certainly impressive that
they have rooms like this.
[08:54] Sakuna
You can come hang out anytime.
[08:57] Sakuna
I think I'll drink while
enjoying this scenery.
[09:01] Sakuna
Tama, bring me sake.
[09:03] Tama
There's something we should discuss first.
[09:06] Sakuna
We can talk later. Sake comes first.
[09:08] Tama
Your Highness!
[09:10] Sakuna
Make it quick.
[09:13] Tama
Very well.
[09:15] Tama
The rice you have been offering as tribute
[09:18] Tama
was grown and harvested through
the efforts of your mother
[09:23] Tama
and former harvest goddess Lady Toyohana.
[09:29] Tama
It was grown far away on the Isle
of Demons with Lord Takeribi.
[09:34] Tama
Have you not been offering
this stored rice every year
[09:38] Tama
without doing anything yourself?
[09:41] Sakuna
So what if I am?
[09:43] Sakuna
My mother and father's rice belongs to me.
[09:46] Sakuna
Now that they're missing,
I should do as I see fit.
[09:50] Tama
But the other gods know this.
[09:54] Tama
Some frown upon the way you receive
an official post every year
[09:58] Tama
without breaking a sweat yourself.
[10:02] Tama
You should mend your ways and
be more like your mother...
[10:08] Sakuna
Are you finished?
[10:10] Tama
No, I am not finished! In the first place—
[10:20] Tama
I'm not a dog!
[10:23] Sakuna
What are you, if not a little round dog?
[10:27] Tama
I may look like one,
[10:29] Tama
but I'm the spirit of the Blade of
Hoshidama that was once your father's.
[10:33] Tama
I look like this since only a part of it
[10:36] Tama
transformed into a spirit
when the blade was broken.
[10:41] Sakuna
What's wrong?
[10:42] Kokorowa
It seems to have detected intruders.
[10:50] Sakuna
What?!
[10:53] Tama
What's going on?
[10:55] Kokorowa
Look.
[11:00] Yui
What is that?
[11:03] Kinta
That huge puppet is moving!
[11:05] Myrthe
Oh, how marvelous!
[11:14] Tauemon
Run!
[11:17] Sakuna
Impressive. I'd expect no less from
Kokorowa, goddess of inventions.
[11:23] Tama
More importantly, what are
those humans doing here?
[11:26] Tama
I thought you kicked them off the bridge.
[11:28] Sakuna
One of them.
[11:30] Sakuna
I told them to turn back.
[11:33] Sakuna
If Lady Kamuhitsuki finds out I allowed
humans in here, I'll be in big trouble.
[11:38] Tama
What are you going to do?
[11:40] Sakuna
I'm going to catch them and throw
them into the clouds
[11:42] Sakuna
before this becomes a big deal.
[11:44] Tama
So violent!
[11:45] Sakuna
Oh, shut up.
[11:49] Sakuna
This is no time to worry about that.
[11:54] Kinta
I'm gonna fall!
[11:56] Yui
Kinta!
[12:03] Sakuna
Oh no. Damn that automaton.
[12:06] Sakuna
It's making the situation worse.
[12:08] Tama
Not your Divine Raiment.
[12:10] Tama
You caused a disturbance just
the other day with that.
[12:12] Sakuna
It's too late for that!
[12:28] Sakuna
Where did they go?
[12:31] Sakuna
The rice I offered to Lady
Kamuhitsuki is stored that way.
[12:36] Sakuna
Hey, you! Wait!
[12:54] Yui
I've never eaten white rice before.
[12:58] Kinta
There's still so much of it.
[13:00] Sakuna
Now you've done it, humans!
SIGN Oil
[13:15] Kamuhitsuki
What a fragrant smell.
SIGN Storing
Rice
SIGN In order to feed people for a year, rice
harvested in the fall must be stored in a
way that preserves its quality. Rice was
once stored in well-ventilated raised
storehouses with rat guards, with efforts
made to protect the rice from mold or rats.
Toyohana's storehouse is protected from
damage by divine energy.

[13:25] Sakuna
My sincerest apologies!
[13:27] Kamuhitsuki
Princess Sakuna, as daughter
of the war god Takeribi,
[13:33] Kamuhitsuki
I appointed you to an important post.
[13:35] Kamuhitsuki
I can't believe you destroyed both
the offerings and the storehouse.
[13:39] Sakuna
No, you've got it all wrong.
[13:41] Sakuna
Lady Kamuhitsuki, this all
started because the humans—
[13:45] Kamuhitsuki
You're a god! Don't try to
blame the humans for this!
[13:49] Kamuhitsuki
Besides, it was your carelessness
that brought them here.
[13:56] Kamuhitsuki
Now then, where are the humans?
[13:58] Tama
Here.
[14:01] Kinta
What? Is that a monster?
[14:03] Yui
No. She's a god.
[14:07] Myrthe
This is Yanato's god?
[14:10] Kamuhitsuki
Indeed. I am Kamuhitsuki,
head goddess of the Lofty Realm.
[14:15] Kamuhitsuki
Identify yourselves, humans.
[14:20] Tauemon
I am Katsura Uemon-no-jou Takamori.
[14:24] Tauemon
People call me Tauemon.
[14:27] Kinta
I'm Kinta. Are you an empress?
[14:30] Yui
I'm Yui.
[14:31] Yui
I don't want to be here.
Please send us back.
[14:35] Myrthe
I am Myrthe.
[14:37] Myrthe
And this is Kaimaru.
[14:40] Kamuhitsuki
Gods and humans must remain
in their separate worlds,
[14:44] Kamuhitsuki
the Lofty Realm and the Lowly Realm.
[14:48] Kamuhitsuki
However, the Bridge of Heaven you crossed
to get here has already vanished.
[14:54] Tauemon
Does that mean we're...
[14:56] Kamuhitsuki
Until the bridge reappears, you shall deal
with the aftermath of this disturbance.
[15:01] Sakuna
What do you mean?
[15:04] Kamuhitsuki
Princess Sakuna, you're aware of
the Isle of Demons, are you not?
[15:09] Kamuhitsuki
It's the remote island where your parents
met and defeated the evil god Omizuchi.
[15:15] Sakuna
Yes, but it's said that demons still
reside there beyond even your control.
[15:22] Kamuhitsuki
You will go to this island and cultivate it
while determining why demons are born there.
[15:30] Tama
The Isle of Demons! This is too much.
[15:34] Sakuna
But it takes days to get there from here.
[15:37] Kamuhitsuki
What? Surely you don't intend to commute.
[15:41] Kamuhitsuki
Naturally, you will live on the
island and fulfill your duty.
[15:45] Sakuna
Live on the island? What about the capital?
[15:48] Kamuhitsuki
You're right. Until you have fulfilled your
duty, you are banished from the capital.
[15:53] Sakuna
Banished?!
[15:57] Kamuhitsuki
This is an official decree.
[16:00] Kamuhitsuki
That is all. You may leave.
[16:02] Sakuna
Please wait, Lady Kamuhitsuki!
[16:05] Sakuna
This is too much!
[16:07] Sakuna
Lady Kamuhitsuki!
[16:11] Kinta
She disappeared.
[16:12] Yui
So that was a god.
[16:17] Sakuna
This... This is all your fault...
[16:22] Kinta
What?
[16:24] Sakuna
Why didn't you turn back when I told you to?
[16:26] Sakuna
Didn't I say that humans didn't belong here?
[16:31] Tauemon
We had nowhere to return to.
[16:34] Tauemon
Our only choice was to move forward.
[16:40] Kinta
Let go of me.
[16:41] Tama
Your Highness, this is the audience chamber.
[16:45] Sakuna
I know.
[16:53] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[16:56] Sakuna
I know. Kokorowa, will you come with me?
[16:59] Kokorowa
What?
[17:00] Sakuna
Yes, that would be best.
[17:02] Sakuna
You're the goddess of invention.
Having you around would be a huge help.
[17:06] Sakuna
We're childhood friends, aren't
we? We're best friends, right?
[17:09] Sakuna
Please!
[17:11] Kokorowa
But...
[17:13] Sakuna
Tama, are you okay with this?
[17:16] Sakuna
You were so opposed when I said
I was going to the Isle of Demons
[17:21] Sakuna
to look for my mother.
[17:23] Tama
That's because you were still young.
[17:27] Sakuna
If I say left, you say right.
[17:29] Sakuna
You're always disagreeing
with everything I say.
[17:32] Kokorowa
I feel kind of sorry for Sakuna.
[17:38] Tama
But I believe Lady Kamuhitsuki issued
this edict so she'd mend her ways.
[17:47] Tama
After defeating Omizuchi, her mother,
Lady Toyohana, supported herself
[17:52] Tama
by growing rice and hunting on
that island with her father.
[18:00] Tama
Making Her Highness experience the same thing
[18:03] Tama
will make her realize she
is the harvest goddess.
[18:06] Tama
Perhaps that was her intention.
[18:10] Kokorowa
You could be right.
[18:14] Kokorowa
Wait here for a while.
[18:17] Kinta
It's pretty big. Is this the ocean?
[18:24] Yui
It's salty. Tastes just
like our world's sea.
[18:28] Kokorowa
The Lofty Realm and Lowly Realm
are two sides of the same coin.
[18:32] Kokorowa
They influence one another.
[18:34] Kokorowa
When there's more famine
or war in the Lowly World,
[18:38] Kokorowa
the harvest is poorer in
the Lofty World as well.
[18:42] Tauemon
Then something bad may happen.
[18:46] Tauemon
The Lowly World is in a terrible state
right now due to war and famine.
[18:51] Kokorowa
I see.
[18:53] Myrthe
Is the Lowly World below us?
[18:57] Yui
Now that you mention it, I wonder.
[18:59] Yui
Is the world of people beyond
the bottom of the sea?
[19:03] Kokorowa
They say there are clouds
in the depths.
[19:07] Kokorowa
But not even gods can go there,
so there's no way to know.
[19:14] Myrthe
Oh, amazing! Yanato is an incredible place.
[19:17] Tauemon
The world is a strange place indeed.
[19:23] Kinta
So, what's that noisy goddess doing?
[19:37] Tama
Your Highness, it's time.
[19:39] Sakuna
I know.
[19:44] Tama
Leave the sake!
[19:46] Sakuna
What? Why?
[19:47] Tama
Forgive me, but that is Lady
Kamuhitsuki's decree.
[19:51] Tama
You're not to drink for a while.
[19:54] Sakuna
But...
[19:55] Sakuna
I won't do it.
[19:56] Tama
Your Highness.
[19:58] Sakuna
I don't want to do this!
[20:03] Tama
Your Highness, don't behave
like a spoiled child.
[20:07] Tama
You're a god.
[20:08] Sakuna
Shut up!
[20:09] Sakuna
I heard Lady Kamuhitsuki shut
herself in a chest once, too.
[20:14] Kokorowa
Is something the matter?
[20:15] Tama
Ah, Lady Kokorowa. As you can
see, Her Highness is...
[20:21] Kokorowa
Sakuna.
[20:22] Sakuna
Is that you, Kokorowa? Could you ask
Lady Kamuhitsuki to forgive me?
[20:28] Sakuna
You're smart. I bet Lady
Kamuhitsuki would listen to you.
[20:32] Kokorowa
Sakuna, is that really what you want?
[20:37] Sakuna
Huh?
[20:38] Kokorowa
Didn't you say you'd become a great
god someday and find your parents?
[20:47] Kokorowa
Were you lying when you said that?
[20:49] Sakuna
No! But how long do you
think it's been since then?
[20:54] Sakuna
My parents went missing
when I was still nursing.
[20:58] Sakuna
I've never had a mother or father.
[21:02] Kokorowa
You've given up, then.
[21:04] Kokorowa
You're not going to the Isle of Demons,
the last known location
[21:09] Kokorowa
of your father, Lord Takeribi,
and your mother, Lady Toyohana?

I shall protect her with my life. Farewell.
[21:58] Kokorowa
I'll miss her, but...

I still don't want to go!
[22:11] Sakuna
I can't survive outside
the capital. I'll die!
[22:16] Yui
She's exaggerating.
[22:17] Kinta
She's such a noisy goddess.
[22:20] Tama
Your Highness, please stop.
[22:24] Tauemon
What a beautiful dawn.
[22:30] Sakuna
Beyond the horizon...

It's waiting for us.

Tauemon, was it?
[03:21] Sakuna
You're their father. You lead the way.
[03:24] Tauemon
Father?
[03:25] Tauemon
Not at all. I'm not their father.
[03:31] Sakuna
You're not?
[03:32] Tauemon
I know Kaimaru, but it's been only
a month since I met the others.
[03:39] Sakuna
Well, this is hopeless.
[03:43] Tauemon
Not only that, but I'm
not much of a fighter.
[03:47] Sakuna
This is no laughing matter!
[03:48] Tama
Your Highness.
[03:55] Sakuna
It's too heavy!
[03:56] Sakuna
Don't we have anything else?
[04:03] Sakuna
Is this all we have?
[04:17] Sakuna
What's this?
[04:20] Yui
It gives me chills.
[04:22] Tama
I sense a powerful miasma.
[04:25] Tama
I'd expect no less
from the Isle of Demons.
[04:33] Sakuna
I'm leaving.
[04:35] Tama
Your Highness?
[04:37] Sakuna
I'm leaving!
[04:43] Sakuna
Could it be?
[04:48] Tauemon
I-I am Katsura Uemon-no-jou Takamori.
[04:49] Myrthe
So this is a demon.
[05:01] Sakuna
Take this!
[05:06] Sakuna
Stand back.
[05:09] Sakuna
I am your opponent.
[05:11] Tama
Be careful.
[05:12] Sakuna
Don't worry.
[05:14] Sakuna
It may be a demon, but it's only a rabbit.
[05:15] Sakuna
I can handle a rabbit.
[05:17] Tama
Actually, it's more that demons...
[05:20] Tama
are rarely encountered alone!
[05:30] Sakuna
Hi-yah!
[05:34] Sakuna
Take this!
[05:40] Mythe
What?
[05:41] Tama
She isn't the daughter of the
war god Lord Takeribi for nothing.
[05:47] Tama
If only she'd inherited the
spirit of Lady Toyohana as well.
[05:52] Sakuna
Can't you offer me a compliment
without making it backhanded?
[05:57] Sakuna
Do you understand now the
difference between humans and gods?
[06:02] Kinta
Whatever. We're the
ones who rowed here.
[06:06] Kinta
We're just even now.
[06:08] Sakuna
You're one twisted little brat.
[06:11] Tama
He's surely just upset about
suddenly being sent to this place.
[06:16] Tama
He's a child.
[06:18] Tama
As a god, you should try
to be lenient with him.
[06:23] Sakuna
Let's go.
[06:26] Tama
Your Highness!
[06:30] Sakuna
There were still demons left?
[06:32] Ashigumo
I'm not a demon.
[06:35] Ashigumo
Did Kamuhitsuki send you?
[06:38] Tama
That's...
[06:42] Sakuna
What is this?
[06:49] Sakuna
Hey, wait!
[06:59] Sakuna
Who are you?
[07:02] Ashigumo
Why did you come here?
[07:04] Sakuna
Why?
[07:06] Tama
There's illusion magic cast on this pass.
[07:10] Tama
Only those who already know
it's here can reach it.
[07:16] Ashigumo
Are you the spirit of Takeribi's sword?
[07:19] Tama
It's been a while, Ashigumo.
[07:21] Tama
We come in peace. Put away your weapons.
[07:25] Sakuna
You know each other?
[07:27] Tama
He's one of the Ashigumo who have
lived on this island since long ago.
[07:32] Tama
When the island was in danger,
[07:33] Tama
they joined forces with
Lord Takeribi and Lady Toyohana
[07:36] Tama
to defeat the evil dragon god Omizuchi.
[07:41] Sakuna
My father and mother?
[07:45] Ashigumo
Your father...
[07:45] Sakuna
What?
[07:49] Ashigumo
Now that I get a better look,
you do resemble that idiot.
[07:55] Myrthe
Oh, the houses of Yanato are incredible!
[07:59] Tauemon
They're a bit damaged but not rotten.
[08:04] Ashigumo
Of course not. I've been maintaining them.
[08:07] Sakuna
You?
[08:09] Ashigumo
I owe your parents that much.
[08:15] Sakuna
My parents lived here?
[08:20] Yui
There are two rooms inside!
[08:22] Myrthe
Oh, a hearth!
[08:24] Sakuna
What are you doing
inside my house before me?
[08:28] Sakuna
I'm the one who owns it!
[08:30] Tama
We appreciate your hard work.
We'll be using these houses.
[08:35] Ashigumo
If she is the daughter of Takeribi,
then I cannot refuse.
[08:39] Tama
Where are you going?
[08:41] Ashigumo
Lately, the demons have been
making a lot of noise.
[08:44] Ashigumo
There have been many earthquakes, too.
[08:46] Ashigumo
This place may be protected by the charm,
but don't let your guard down.
[08:56] Sakuna
Hey, don't open that.
[08:59] Kinta
I'm hungry. Don't you have anything?
[09:02] Sakuna
I don't know why you're asking me.
[09:04] Yui
You just said you own the place.
[09:15] Sakuna
Doesn't look like there's anything here.
[09:19] Sakuna
What's this?
[09:21] Tauemon
Looks like a kokibashi.
[09:24] Tauemon
This must be a farming shed.
[09:28] Tauemon
Which means the empty plot
outside used to be a field.
[09:34] Sakuna
A field...
[09:37] Sakuna
Isn't there any rice stored here?
[09:40] Tama
Unfortunately, no.
[09:42] Tama
There are fruits and nuts nearby.
[09:44] Tama
For the time being,
we'll have to hunt for food.
[09:49] Sakuna
Hunt?
[09:53] Sakuna
Wait!
[09:54] Sakuna
Are you telling me to gather food for them?
[09:58] Tama
As a god, that is one of your duties.
[10:00] Sakuna
That can't be your excuse for everything.
[10:04] Yui
If only we could grow
something in the field outside.
[10:09] Tama
It's a good idea, but we'll
have to find seeds somewhere.
[10:13] Tauemon
I have some unhulled rice right here.
[10:16] Tama
What?
[10:17] Tauemon
Though I come from a family of warriors,
[10:20] Tauemon
my head is always full of thoughts
of farming instead of swords.
[10:23] Tauemon
Even after becoming a bandit,
I couldn't let this go.
[10:29] Tama
I see. In that case...
[10:33] Tauemon
We will grow rice here.
[10:36] Sakuna
While I hunt outside for food.
[10:40] Tama
Then we'll find the right time to determine
where the demons are coming from.
[10:47] Sakuna
I'd be lying if I said
I'm happy with this,
[10:50] Sakuna
but for now it's our only choice.
[10:53] Sakuna
Starting tomorrow, we'll work on
getting food so we can build up our energy.
[11:02] Sakuna
Is this all?
[11:03] Kinta
We can't help it.
[11:05] Kinta
It's too cold for anything decent to grow.
[11:08] Yui
We have acorns, too.
[11:10] Kinta
If you don't want yours, give it to me.
[11:12] Kinta
It's better than what I've been eating.
[11:15] Sakuna
Wait. Sheesh...
[11:18] Sakuna
Anyway, if this is an improvement,
[11:20] Sakuna
the world of humans must
be in a terrible state.
[11:24] Tauemon
With all the wars and famine,
it's in a state of decline.
[11:27] Tauemon
The bandits I ran with
were once impoverished as well.
[11:31] Tauemon
We swore we wouldn't steal
from women and children, but...
[11:38] Sakuna
Sounds like there's quite a story there.
[11:41] Sakuna
Why did you come here
with these people in the first place?
[11:44] Tauemon
The truth is that Ishimaru,
one of my fellow bandits,
[11:49] Tauemon
was trying to sell these captives.
[11:54] Sakuna
Ishimaru?
[11:58] Sakuna
That man, huh?
[12:00] Tauemon
Ishimaru slew our leader for trying to stop
him and tried to go ahead with his plan.
[12:05] Tauemon
When I saw what he'd done,
I freed them and took Kaimaru with me.
[12:11] Tama
I see.
[12:13] Tama
Then Ishimaru pursued you all
the way to the Bridge of Heaven.
[12:19] Tauemon
That's right.
[12:21] Sakuna
Seriously?
[12:22] Sakuna
Then I was right to kick him off the bridge.
[12:26] Tama
Ultimately, yes.
[12:30] Tauemon
Our slain leader was Kaimaru's father.
[12:34] Tauemon
Kaimaru lost the ability to speak
after he saw what happened.
[12:40] Tauemon
It makes me wonder if there was
something I could've done to stop it.
[12:45] Kinta
It'd be the same either way.
[12:47] Kinta
We weren't getting enough to eat.
[12:49] Kinta
We would've died either way.
[12:51] Yui
Yeah.
[12:57] Sakuna
I'm going to sleep.
[13:00] Tama
Your Highness.
[13:05] Sakuna
I'm a god. No demons will beat me.
[13:09] Sakuna
Starting tomorrow,
[13:10] Sakuna
I'll bring you enough food
to fill your bellies, so follow me.
[13:28] Tama
I'm proud of you, Your Highness.
[13:33] Sakuna
Humans are such a pain in the rear.
SIGN Plowing and Irrigating Rice Fields
In order to help the rice take root, the field must have
good air and water flow. The earth is broken apart
along with the rice stubble remaining in the dry field
after harvest in order to plow the field. Then the field
is irrigated by filling it with water to create an even
surface. In addition to hoes and plows, farming
equipment pulled by cattle and horses have made
farming more efficient. When Sakuna is at her best,
she can plow as efficiently as 15 horses.

Lady Sakuna, good morning.
[13:57] Sakuna
You're up early.
[14:01] Tauemon
When I heard we'd be
farming, I couldn't wait.
[14:22] Sakuna
B-Be careful...
[14:27] Sakuna
I'll be back.
[14:30] Yui
Bring back some fish if you can.
[14:33] Sakuna
Don't be ridiculous.
[14:34] Sakuna
Look after the field while I...
[14:38] Myrthe
Let us go.
[14:40] Sakuna
Wait, wait!
[14:41] Sakuna
I told you, there are demons out there.
[14:44] Sakuna
You should stay here and help.
[14:47] Myrthe
I want to see what is out there.
[14:49] Sakuna
Well, you can't! Come on, Tama.
[14:54] Sakuna
Honestly.
[14:55] Sakuna
Anyway, at this rate,
[14:58] Sakuna
we should be able to complete
Lady Kamuhitsuki's mission.
[15:01] Tama
Don't let your guard down.
[15:03] Tama
There's no telling what else
is on this island.
[15:06] Sakuna
Don't worry.
[15:08] Sakuna
The demons we've seen so far...
[15:15] Sakuna
don't stand a chance against me.
[15:17] Tama
Impressive.
[15:23] Sakuna
This grass is edible.
[15:25] Sakuna
I'll try venturing
a little deeper to gather more.
[15:49] Sakuna
What are you looking at?
[15:52] Sakuna
Heave ho!
[16:01] Sakuna
Good grief.
[16:02] Sakuna
Now we won't have to worry
about food for a while.
[16:08] Sakuna
Hey, I'm back!
[16:13] Sakuna
What's going on?
[16:15] Tauemon
Forgive me.
[16:16] Kinta
Why didn't you say something?
[16:19] Kinta
Are you trying to make us starve?
[16:22] Myrthe
Do not be angry.
[16:25] Myrthe
In no country is it good to get angry.
[16:30] Sakuna
What's wrong? What happened?
[16:34] Yui
This man washed away the unhulled rice.
[16:37] Sakuna
He did what?
[16:39] Tauemon
I'm sorry. I have only a handful left.
[16:46] Sakuna
Is this all?
[16:48] Kinta
Not only that, but he only knows how
to farm from watching others.
[16:51] Kinta
He's never actually done it himself.
[16:54] Sakuna
What?
[16:56] Sakuna
But you said you were good at farming!
[16:59] Tauemon
Forgive me, but the truth is I'm not
a very good warrior or farmer.
[17:07] Sakuna
Crying about it won't help.
[17:12] Sakuna
Oh, shut up!
[17:15] Tauemon
I am ashamed!
[17:17] Tauemon
I have no choice but
to slice open my belly now.
[17:20] Sakuna
Nobody told you to do that!
[17:22] Kinta
Having fewer mouths
to feed might not be so bad.
[17:26] Kinta
He eats enough for five people.
[17:29] Kinta
He's selfish.
[17:33] Kinta
What's wrong? You're
a samurai, aren't you?
[17:35] Kinta
Do what you said you would.
[17:36] Myrthe
Stop this!
[17:38] Myrthe
Why do you hurt him? Tauemon is kind.
[17:42] Myrthe
He just made a mistake.
[17:50] Yui
Kinta!
[17:50] Kinta
Don't follow me!
[17:54] Sakuna
Now we're divided.
[18:00] Myrthe
What's that?
[18:01] Sakuna
The game I caught.
[18:04] Sakuna
Being hungry makes you angry.
[18:07] Sakuna
Eat this tonight and go to bed.
[18:10] Myrthe
Then I shall prepare a Ventanian dish.
[18:14] Sakuna
Ventanian?
[18:16] Myrthe
Ventania is my homeland. A nation of ports.
[18:23] Sakuna
So this is Ventanian cuisine...
[18:26] Myrthe
Yanato ingredients and Ventanian cuisine
may not have been a good combination.
[18:33] Tama
This is...
[18:35] Yui
It just tastes like charcoal.
[18:37] Myrthe
I will try harder next time.
[18:39] Kinta
You're all just talk.
[18:45] Sakuna
Don't say that.
She didn't do it on purpose.
[18:49] Sakuna
Myrthe, as there's no one
else we can turn to,
[18:54] Sakuna
you're in charge of cooking for now.
[18:57] Sakuna
Can you do that?
[18:58] Myrthe
Yes.
[18:59] Myrthe
Yanato ingredients
and Yanato cuisine are the best.
[19:03] Myrthe
I will come up with something.
[19:05] Sakuna
We're counting on you.
[19:12] Sakuna
I'm worried about the future.
[19:15] Tama
You led the humans without getting mad.
[19:19] Tama
You're beginning to act like a real god.
[19:23] Sakuna
I'm just too exasperated to get mad.
[19:27] Tama
So, what will you do now?
[19:31] Sakuna
What do you mean?
[19:33] Tama
I'm not sure we should leave
Tauemon in charge of this field.
[19:39] Tama
I heard he trampled the seedlings
and furrows as well.
[19:45] Sakuna
He's worse than useless.
[19:50] Sakuna
Wait.
[19:51] Sakuna
You're not telling me
to do even more work, are you?
[19:55] Tama
There's no other choice.
[19:57] Sakuna
Think about it!
[19:59] Sakuna
A harvest goddess making
her own rice tribute—
[20:02] Tama
Sounds completely reasonable to me.
[20:06] Tama
That is what the harvest
gods of our land do.
[20:10] Tama
Lady Toyohana and even
Lady Kamuhitsuki plant rice every year.
[20:17] Sakuna
But I don't know anything
about planting or growing rice.
[20:25] Tama
Don't worry about that.
SIGN Rice Cultivation Compendium
[20:31] Tama
I found this earlier.
[20:34] Tama
It's a scroll on agriculture
that Lady Toyohana left behind.
[20:37] Tama
It contains records of the rice
harvests grown here and how to do it.
[20:43] Sakuna
My mother's...
[20:56] Tama
Even Tauemon seems to know something,
even if he's otherwise completely useless.
[21:03] Tama
He could help—
[21:03] Sakuna
I won't do it.
[21:06] Tama
Your Highness?
[21:06] Sakuna
I won't do it! I refuse!
[21:09] Sakuna
On top of completing Lady Kamuhitsuki's
mission, I have to hunt, too!
[21:15] Sakuna
I can't do it!

Was Sakuna angry just now?
[21:26] Tama
No, she's not angry.
[21:43] Sakuna
Mother...
[22:05] Tauemon
Lady Sakuna...
[22:08] Tama
This is the daughter of Lady
Toyohana, the harvest goddess.

What's this?

[22:20] Tama
We're going to begin
growing rice here again.

[00:03] Tauemon
First you let the unhulled
rice absorb water, like this.
[00:07] Sakuna
And then you sow it in the field, right?
[00:10] Tauemon
No.
[00:11] Tauemon
If you wait a while, the unhulled
rice will begin to sprout.
[00:15] Sakuna
And then you sow it in the field, right?
[00:17] Tauemon
No.
[00:19] Tauemon
They'd be overwhelmed by weeds,
[00:22] Tauemon
so you let them grow in a seed bed first.
[00:26] Sakuna
This sounds like a pain in the rear.
[00:29] Sakuna
Isn't there any kind of rice that
can be grown and harvested in a flash?
[00:33] Tauemon
Unfortunately, no.
[00:35] Tama
Your Highness, that's just
how growing rice works.
[00:39] Tama
You spend your time
sweating as you face the
[00:41] Tama
silent rice plants day after day,
watching them grow.
[00:46] Sakuna
Why do you seem so happy?
[00:49] Tama
Because you're finally fulfilling
your true duties as a harvest goddess.
[00:54] Tama
What could be better than that?
[00:58] Sakuna
Well, it doesn't make me happy at all.

And you haven't touched this area yet.

Don't just stand there. You do it.

I'm making rice so we can all eat.

We don't have a choice.
That's the only hoe we have.

[03:54] Tauemon
When you're finished with that,
[03:56] Tauemon
I'd like to discuss
making fertilizer with you.
[04:00] Sakuna
Fertilizer?
[04:01] Tama
In simple terms, it's nutrients
that we can spread in this field.
[04:05] Tama
However, that's not all...
[04:09] Tama
In order to help plants take root in spring,
[04:14] Tama
over the winter,
[04:15] Tama
we grow plants such as milk vetch that
will provide the soil with nutrients.
[04:19] Tauemon
In spring, we'll mix them into the soil to
increase its fertility, helping the rice grow.
[04:27] Tama
When you grow and what you spread impacts
the quality and flavor of the rice.
[04:34] Sakuna
I see.
[04:36] Sakuna
So, how is it made?
[04:39] Tama
Normally you'd use cow or horse manure,
but we don't have any here, so...
[04:47] Sakuna
So?
[04:50] Sakuna
You can't be serious...
[04:52] Kinta

[04:53] Myrthe
No, stop! Very bad! You will fall!
[04:58] Sakuna
You want me to spread this?
[05:00] Tauemon
No, this will just serve as the base.
[05:04] Tauemon
We'll move this next
to the field over there,
[05:07] Tauemon
add the necessary materials,
and let it rest to make fertilizer.
[05:11] Kinta
I found this thing.
[05:15] Sakuna
You don't mean...
[05:16] Tama
Come, Your Highness.

first batch of fertilizer.
[05:22] Sakuna
Wait, no! I'm not doing this!
[05:25] Sakuna
I know, you! It's time you did some work!
[05:29] Kinta
I'm not doing a stinky job like that.
[05:31] Kinta
Besides, I made a living making handicrafts,
so I'm not suited to field work.
[05:37] Tama
And Yui and Myrthe are girls.
[05:41] Tama
They couldn't do something
as labor intensive as this.
[05:44] Sakuna
Hey! I'm a girl, too!
[05:47] Tama
But you're a goddess.
[05:49] Sakuna
It's always goddess this, goddess that.
[05:54] Tauemon
I'll handle it.
[05:57] Kinta

[05:58] Yui
Can you do it?
[06:01] Tauemon
It's just using this bucket
to move that over there.
[06:05] Tauemon
I may be clumsy, but I can handle it.
[06:10] Sakuna
I suppose you could manage this much.
[06:14] Tauemon
Then have yourself some tea
and rest a while.
[06:25] Myrthe
It is coarse tea.
[06:28] Sakuna
I see.
[06:31] Sakuna
It really doesn't taste like anything.
[06:35] Sakuna
What are you laughing about?
[06:37] Myrthe
I learned a Yanato greeting.
[06:41] Sakuna
Coarse tea isn't a greeting, you know.
[06:43] Yui
Will he really be all right?
[06:45] Kinta
He's massive.
[06:48] Kinta
I'm sure he can handle
a bit of physical labor.
[06:54] Tauemon
I spilled it all!
[07:02] Tauemon
Lady Sakuna! Lady Sakuna!
[07:04] Sakuna
Don't come in!
[07:06] Tauemon
I stink all over! I don't know what to do!
[07:08] Sakuna
To the river! Go to the river
and wash it off!
[07:12] Tauemon
But... but I need something
to wipe it with!
[07:16] Myrthe
Will someone take this to him?
[07:23] Sakuna
In the end, I have to do everything.
[07:27] Tama
I'm proud of you.
[07:29] Kinta
You're the one who lost
at rock-paper-scissors.
[07:31] Sakuna
Oh, shut up!
[07:33] Yui
Is there something bothering you?
[07:37] Kinta
I told you to stay away from me.
[07:41] Sakuna
Honestly...
[07:43] Sakuna
Tama, a little more to the right.
My back is killing me.
[07:48] Tama
Very well.
[07:51] Myrthe
Excuse me, Sakuna...
[07:57] Sakuna
Did you mess up again?
[08:00] Myrthe
Yanato ingredients are challenging.
[08:03] Tama
It seems we've used up the meat we had.
[08:07] Tama
Once you're done planting,
you'll have to go hunting again.
[08:11] Sakuna
You want me to hunt on top
of everything else I'm doing?
[08:14] Kinta
All the adults here are useless.
[08:18] Kinta
They can't cook, and they
can't handle manual labor.
[08:21] Kinta
They can't do anything.
[08:24] Sakuna
Then don't eat!
[08:25] Kinta
What?
[08:26] Sakuna
You haven't done anything
since you got here.
[08:30] Sakuna
You have no right to complain.
[08:34] Kinta
I'm just not forcing myself
to do what I can't.
[08:38] Kinta
If I did, I'd end up causing
problems like these guys.
[08:44] Sakuna
Looks like I'll have to
teach him a lesson.
[08:51] Tauemon
My sincerest apologies!
[08:53] Tauemon
It's because I'm so useless!
[08:57] Sakuna
Stop crying!
[09:05] Sakuna
Ouch...
[09:09] Sakuna
Kokorowa.
[09:12] (Flashback) Sakuna
Kokorowa, I was moved by this chapter
in Unrequited Love Story.
[09:17] (Flashback) Sakuna
Whoever wrote this must be a genius.
[09:23] Sakuna
It sure was fun in the capital.
[09:35] Ashigumo
I see.
[09:37] Tauemon
I know I'm asking for a lot, but...
[09:43] Ashigumo
I'll consider it.
[09:56] Tauemon
By adding water, leveling the soil,
[10:00] Tauemon
and plowing and irrigating the field,
it is prepared for planting.
[10:06] Yui
It's starting to look like a rice field.
[10:08] Sakuna
Finally.
[10:10] Sakuna
Anyway, it sure is beautiful.
[10:12] Sakuna
Of course it is, since I plowed it myself.
[10:14] Tauemon
Lady Sakuna.
[10:18] Tauemon
These are the young sprouts.
[10:22] Sakuna
They've grown so much.
[10:24] Tama
Your Highness, you should
plant the first sprout.
[10:28] Sakuna
Okay.
[10:38] Sakuna
It's so soft.
[10:40] Sakuna
I feel a faint warmth, too.
[10:43] Tama
That is the rice field.
You are a harvest goddess.
[10:47] Tama
You must be attuned
to the power of the soil.
[10:52] Sakuna
Should I just stick it in there?
[10:55] Tauemon
It says to grasp it in three fingers
like you're holding a brush.
[11:01] Sakuna
Like holding a brush.
[11:03] Sakuna
Like this?
[11:04] Tauemon
Now plant it not too shallow
and not too deep.
[11:07] Tauemon
About two knuckles deep into the soil.
[11:12] Sakuna
Let's see. Like this?
[11:17] Sakuna
It's falling over.
[11:19] Tauemon
Sprouts often fall over in soft soil that
has been recently plowed and irrigated.
[11:24] Tauemon
Being careful not to make too big
a hole in the ground with your fist...
[11:28] Sakuna
This sounds difficult.
[11:31] Tauemon
Finally, gently pull your hand
forward so it gets caught in the soil.
[11:36] Tauemon
That's what it says.
[11:37] Sakuna
Gently pull forward...
[11:47] Tama
Your Highness, that is the plant
that will become rice.
[11:51] Tama
The crop grown by harvest gods
that is the heart of Yanato.
[11:57] Sakuna
This is rice, huh?
[11:59] Tama
Rice is special to harvest gods.
[12:02] Tama
Eating it will surely
grant you even more power.
[12:09] Sakuna
Power...
[12:10] Tama
Greater divine power.
[12:13] Tama
Your life energy.
[12:15] Tama
More power should aid you in battles
against demons and with your mission.
[12:22] Sakuna
Really?
[12:23] Sakuna
Then we could return to the capital.
[12:25] Tama
Eventually.
[12:26] Sakuna
Okay, let's do this!
[12:28] Sakuna
Once these are grown,
we can fill our bellies with rice!
[12:33] Tauemon
Fill our bellies?
[12:35] Kinta
This little bit of rice isn't
nearly enough for a glutton like you.
[12:39] Tauemon
That's not what I meant.
[12:43] Tauemon
Never mind.
SIGN Planting
Rice seeds are planted in the seedling bed and grown
until they are large enough to be transferred to the field.
Because so much manpower is required in the spring,
large numbers of people get together to plant the rice all
at once. Groups such as these that helped one another
were called “yui.” The perennial failure Tauemon had
been secretly practicing so he could help with farming.

[12:55] Sakuna
Hey! I'm back!
[13:02] Sakuna
What are you doing?
[13:03] Tauemon
Ah, Lady Sakuna. Welcome back.
[13:06] Tauemon
Weeds have started sprouting,
so I thought I'd remove them.
[13:12] Sakuna
What are you doing?
[13:13] Sakuna
Is the rice all right?
[13:15] Tauemon
Yes, barely...
[13:18] Sakuna
Honestly.
[13:20] Sakuna
You can stop now. I'll do it.
[13:23] Sakuna
So, where are these weeds?
[13:25] Yui
There and there.
[13:28] Sakuna
But it's only been a few days!
[13:31] Sakuna
How are there so many?
[13:33] Tama
It's because there are so
many nutrients in the soil.
[13:37] Tama
All kinds of vegetation grow well in it.
[13:40] Tama
It's important to regularly remove them
so the nutrients go to the rice.
[13:46] Sakuna
What a pain in the rear.
[13:50] Sakuna
Is this it?
[13:52] Sakuna
And...
[13:54] Myrthe
Sakuna.
[13:55] Sakuna
Ah, Myrthe.
[13:57] Sakuna
I brought venison.
[13:59] Sakuna
We're feasting on venison tonight.
[14:05] Sakuna
What's this?
[14:06] Tauemon
Tekusari dumplings.
[14:09] Tauemon
In my land, we called
them red spider lilies.
[14:13] Tauemon
Though they're poisonous,
[14:14] Tauemon
you can eat them if you grind up
the roots and add them to water.
[14:19] Sakuna
What about the venison?
[14:21] Myrthe
I am sorry...
[14:23] Tauemon
Kaimaru started crying.
[14:25] Tauemon
The venison burned
while she was comforting him.
[14:29] Sakuna
So you wasted the venison I brought back?
[14:33] Sakuna
And now we're supposed to
eat these poisonous dumplings?
[14:37] Myrthe
Poison dumplings...
[14:39] Yui
I like these.
[14:41] Sakuna
That's not the point!
[14:43] Tama
Your Highness!
[14:48] Sakuna
Next time you need help, let me know.
[14:56] Tauemon
Where are you going?
[15:02] Sakuna
It's just until the rice is ready.
[15:06] Sakuna
Just standing hurts.
[15:17] Sakuna
Beware of spindly growth.
[15:20] Sakuna
What's spindly growth?
[15:23] Sakuna
What is it?
[15:25] Tauemon
Lady Sakuna,
there's something I have to tell you.
[15:29] Sakuna
Don't bother apologizing.
[15:31] Sakuna
No amount of apologies will fill my stomach.
[15:33] Sakuna
More importantly—
[15:34] Tauemon
It's actually about that.
[15:36] Sakuna
About what?
[15:38] Tama
Your Highness,
[15:39] Tama
do you think you'll grow enough
rice this year to fill your stomach?
[15:44] Sakuna
Are you saying we won't?
[15:46] Tama
I knew it.
[15:48] Sakuna
What does that mean?
[15:50] Tauemon
Even if we grow and
harvest all the plants here,
[15:55] Tauemon
we'll only have enough
rice for a few days.
[15:59] Sakuna
What?
[16:00] Tama
And the quality is still low, too.
[16:03] Tama
I doubt this rice has the power
to grant you much strength.
[16:10] Sakuna
That's not what you promised!
[16:12] Sakuna
Didn't you say I'd get to
fill my belly with rice?
[16:14] Sakuna
Didn't you say the rice
would make me strong?
[16:18] Sakuna
You lied to me!
[16:20] Tama
It will eventually.
[16:23] Tauemon
That's what I meant, too.
[16:28] Sakuna
How many years will it take?
[16:30] Sakuna
How many years until I can fill my
belly with high-quality rice?
[16:33] Sakuna
Two? Three?
[16:36] Tauemon
Well...
[16:39] Tama
It takes many years to gradually
develop and improve rice.
[16:47] Tama
It can't be done overnight.
[16:50] Sakuna
I'm asking how many years!
[16:53] Tauemon
Probably at least ten...
[16:57] Tama
Your Highness!
[16:59] Sakuna
I've had enough.
[17:01] Sakuna
I haven't been lazy!
[17:03] Sakuna
I bit back my anger, ran myself ragged,
[17:05] Sakuna
and endured an empty
stomach like you told me to!
[17:09] Sakuna
And this is what I get for it?
[17:10] Tama
No, wait. That wasn't my intention when—
[17:13] Sakuna
Silence!
[17:16] Tama
Your Highness!
[17:19] Yui
What's going on?
[17:21] Sakuna
I've had enough!
[17:23] Sakuna
Everyone's ganging up on me
to make me suffer!
[17:27] Sakuna
Well, I can't take it anymore.
[17:29] Sakuna
I'm going back to the capital so
I can sprawl out in my spacious room.
[17:35] Sakuna
I don't care about the mission.
[17:36] Sakuna
I don't care about anything!
[17:38] Sakuna
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!
[17:49] Sakuna
I thought I was going to die...
[17:52] Sakuna
I had no idea the rough sea
was so terrifying at night.
[17:56] Sakuna
I'd never reach the capital.
[18:07] Tauemon
Lady Sakuna! Lady Sakuna!
[18:13] Tauemon
There you are.
[18:20] Kinta
Here.
[18:21] Yui
From me, too.
[18:26] Sakuna
What's this?
[18:27] Sakuna
They're clean.
[18:30] Kinta
I told you, I used to make handicrafts.
[18:34] Kinta
That's the best I can do
since I lack materials, though.
[18:38] Yui
And I could make all sorts
of things with a loom,
[18:42] Yui
but for now, that's all I can do.
[18:45] Sakuna
When did you make these?
[18:49] Myrthe
I smoked the burnt venison.
[18:53] Myrthe
It is a good way to preserve food.
[18:58] Tama
And that's not all.
[19:05] Sakuna
What's this?
[19:06] Tauemon
A rice paddy the Ashigumo once
cleared with Lady Toyohana.
[19:11] Tauemon
I spoke with the Ashigumo,
and they said we could use it.
[19:17] Sakuna
But what about unhulled rice?
[19:19] Sakuna
We only had the ones we planted, right?
[19:22] Tauemon
The Ashigumo agreed
to share some of theirs, too.
[19:28] Tauemon
If we can harvest this entire field,
it will yield a substantial amount of rice.
[19:33] Sakuna
Why didn't you say something sooner?
[19:37] Tauemon
I thought I might disappoint
you by ruining everything again.
[19:44] Tama
They didn't want to say anything
until they were finished.
[19:50] Sakuna
Humans shouldn't be
so considerate of a god.
[19:59] Sakuna
Come on. Let's start planting.
[20:07] Sakuna
I know what I said, but...
[20:10] Sakuna
This field is huge. This is taking forever.
[20:18] Myrthe
My back hurts.
[20:29] Yui
Quit it, Kaimaru! Go away!
[20:32] Kinta
And I keep telling you to stay away from me.
[20:35] Sakuna
No more. I still have to hunt, too.
[20:39] Sakuna
You handle the rest.
[20:41] Kinta
Don't be ridiculous!
[20:42] Kinta
Who do you think tilled this field?
[20:45] Sakuna
What was that?
[20:50] Yui
Quiet! I told you to go away!
[20:53] Myrthe
Don't fight. Let's have fun planting.
[20:59] Myrthe
Stop that!
[21:01] Tauemon
Weak roots and weak hearts.
[21:13] Tauemon
Sink your legs into the mud
and bend your back.
[21:27] Sakuna
What was that?
[21:29] Kinta
A rice planting song.
[21:31] Tauemon
That's right.
[21:32] Tauemon
It's a long, hard road
to happiness when farming.
[21:38] Tauemon
Conversation leads to discontent
and demotivates you.
[21:42] Tama
So our predecessors decided to sing instead.
[21:46] Tama
Singing distracts you from the pain.
[21:49] Tauemon
Thin sprouts and thin bodies.
[22:00] Kinta
That's a surprise.
[22:02] Kinta
We were born in different places,
but we sing the same song.
[22:07] Kinta
The next line is...
[22:09] Kinta
With empty stomachs we wish
for golden fields.
[22:19] Sauna
I see.
[22:20] Myrthe
It's a good song.
[22:23] Tauemon
Care to join us, Lady Sakuna?
[22:28] Sakuna
Fine. At this point, why not?
[22:31] Tauemon
All together now.
[22:34] All
Plant the seedlings, let them take root
[22:45] All
Weak roots and weak hearts
[22:57] All
Sink your legs into the mud
and bend your back
[23:09] All
Thin sprouts and thin bodies
[23:21] All
With empty stomachs we wish
for golden fields
[23:33] All
Plant the seedlings, let them take root
[23:45] All
Growing stems and miserable fortunes
[23:57] All
Don't lean against the ridges
and stand in the sunlight

He's a quick one.
[00:14] Sakuna
Don't go too crazy.
[00:16] Sakuna
We can't have you destroying the field.
[00:18] Sakuna
I can't believe we have to deal
with spiders and snails, too.
[00:21] Tama
Frogs and spiders eat insects,
and snails keep the water clean.
[00:26] Tama
Getting help from nature is
an essential part of growing rice.
[00:33] Myrthe
Okay.
[00:34] Myrthe
Class is in session.
[00:37] Myrthe
You are children.
[00:39] Myrthe
No matter where we are,
you must grow up to become decent adults.
[00:43] Myrthe
Today I will teach you about God.
[00:46] Kinta
I was wondering what you wanted to discuss,
but I wasn't expecting this.
[00:52] Yui
I've still got spiders to catch.
[01:03] Sakuna
Did you just say you'd
teach them about the gods?
[01:06] Myrthe
Sakuna...
[01:07] Myrthe
Yes!
[01:08] Myrthe
I came to Yanato to spread
the teachings of Formos.
[01:13] Sakuna
What did you plan to tell them about me?
[01:16] Sakuna
That I'm a beautiful and
merciful harvest goddess, I assume.
[01:20] Myrthe
No, Sakuna. You are not God.
[01:25] Sakuna
What?!
[01:26] Kinta
You're more like a kid.
[01:29] Sakuna
I'm not a child! I'm a goddess!
[01:31] Sakuna
And a beautiful one at that!
[01:34] Kinta
A goddess?
[01:35] Kinta
You're a woman?
[01:39] Sakuna
Why, you little...! How dare you!
[01:44] Myrthe
In the Formos faith,
there is one unseeable God.
[01:50] Sakuna
Unseeable?
[01:52] Sakuna
What does that make me?
[01:55] Myrthe
Oh, I know. You are probably...
[02:00] Myrthe
An angel who lives in the Lofty Realm.
SIGN Episode 4
[03:36] Tama
Her Highness aside,
[03:38] Tama
are you saying Lady Kamuhitsuki
is an archangel and not a goddess?
[03:43] Myrthe
Archangels are very grand and important.
[03:47] Sakuna
Is that what they believe outside of Yanato?
[03:51] Myrthe
It is not just Yanato.
[03:53] Myrthe
Ouka and Nadit have their
own gods and beliefs.
[03:59] Sakuna
Ouka and Nadit...
[04:01] Tama
Those are lands west of Yanato.
[04:04] Sakuna
I see.
[04:06] Sakuna
Didn't you say you came
from a place called Ventania?
[04:11] Myrthe
Yes!
[04:11] Myrthe
Ventania is a port nation.
[04:14] Myrthe
Our buildings are made of stone.
[04:16] Kinta
Your buildings are made of stone?
[04:19] Yui
That's a surprise.
[04:22] Myrthe
I set out with a priest in order to spread
the teachings of God throughout the world.
[04:31] Myrthe
The world is a big place.
[04:34] Myrthe
The priest said we must spread God's
teachings throughout the whole world.
[04:42] Myrthe
Learning is important.
Teaching is important.
[04:48] Myrthe
But the priest passed
away during our journey.
[04:53] Myrthe
All the things I have seen,
the vastness of the world,
[04:57] Myrthe
and the strangeness of this world.
[05:00] Myrthe
I promise I will tell the people
of Ventania about these things.
[05:04] Tauemon
So that's why you're
so interested in everything.
[05:08] Myrthe
Yes.
[05:13] Yui
Kinta...
[05:17] Sakuna
He's always acting like that.
[05:19] Sakuna
Did you do something to upset Kinta?
[05:26] Yui
Don't worry about it.
[05:33] Sakuna
What happened to
the frog oil that was there?
[05:39] Sakuna
Collecting that wasn't easy.
[05:43] Myrthe
Who knows?
[05:59] Kinta
It's beautiful.
[06:08] Kinta
To strengthen iron, apply heat...
[06:15] Kinta
Hot, hot, hot!
[06:20] Sakuna
Figures you'd sneak off
with the oil and get up to mischief!
[06:23] Kinta
It wasn't mischief!
[06:25] Sakuna
Then what were you doing?
[06:26] Kinta
None of your business!
[06:28] Sakuna
You took something of mine
and that's none of my business?
[06:31] Sakuna
You stole my dumplings
the other day, too, didn't you?
[06:35] Myrthe
Don't fight, you two. Hold out your arm.
[06:41] Kinta
Ow!
[06:45] Kinta
It doesn't hurt anymore.
[06:48] Yui
Wow.
[06:49] Myrthe
Good.
[06:50] Myrthe
That was my first time making
medicine using Yanato herbs.
[06:54] Tauemon
Medicine? You can create medicines?
[06:56] Myrthe
Yes. I studied a lot.
[06:59] Sakuna
You're a doctor, too? That's impressive.
[07:03] Myrthe
It is important to learn what you do not
know and see what you have not seen.
[07:12] Myrthe
I want to see more of the outside world.
[07:15] Sakuna
The outside world?
[07:17] Myrthe
Yes. For now, we are stuck in this pass.
[07:21] Myrthe
But I want to see all kinds of places
farther outside in the Lofty Realm.
[07:26] Sakuna
Outside? Don't be ridiculous.
[07:29] Sakuna
Take one step outside,
and there are demons everywhere.
[07:31] Sakuna
You saw them when we came to the island.
[07:35] Myrthe
But...
[07:36] Tama
Actually, that may not be impossible.
[07:40] Sakuna
Tama...
[07:41] Tama
I spoke with the Ashigumo yesterday.
[07:44] Tama
Thanks to your efforts,
they've been seeing fewer demons in this area.
[07:51] Tama
Perhaps you could visit
the area around the pass...
[07:54] Myrthe
Really?
[07:55] Tauemon
Maybe we could enter the nearby
woods to forage for mushrooms.
[07:59] Yui
Or catch lots of fish in the stream.
[08:02] Sakuna
I see.
[08:03] Sakuna
Then I wouldn't have to work
so hard to gather food for us.
[08:07] Tama
Indeed.
[08:09] Tama
Why not let them handle
the food so you can make progress
[08:13] Tama
on your mission of determining
where the demons are coming from?
[08:18] Sakuna
That's a great idea.
[08:20] Tauemon
Then the problem is the rice.
[08:24] Tauemon
With the addition of the
field below, it's a large area.
[08:27] Tauemon
We don't have nearly enough manpower.
[08:29] Sakuna
Manpower, huh?
[08:32] Sakuna
If Kokorowa were here, she could
make a puppet or two in a flash.
[08:38] Tama
For now, our best bet is...
[08:42] Ashigumo
Help you grow rice?
[08:44] Sakuna
Naturally, we don't
expect you to do it for free.
[08:46] Sakuna
Come harvest time, you'd
be rewarded according to—
[08:49] Ashigumo
I don't need food.
[08:50] Ashigumo
I already have plenty to eat.
[08:52] Tama
That said, you must have friends.
[08:55] Tama
It's not a bad deal.
[08:58] Ashigumo
I have no friends.
[08:59] Sakuna
What?
[09:00] Ashigumo
Fearing the demons,
the other Ashigumo left the island.
[09:06] Ashigumo
I am the only one who remained.
[09:09] Sakuna
I see...
[09:11] Tama
Then you've been protecting
this place all by yourself?
[09:16] Ashigumo
I don't like to give up.
[09:18] Ashigumo
I once fought alongside
Kamuhitsuki to protect the island.
[09:23] Ashigumo
I can't let some demons
scare us away now.
[09:27] Tama
Perhaps Lady Kamuhitsuki
sent us here knowing that.
[09:35] Tauemon
Kappa?
[09:38] Sakuna
Yes.
[09:39] Sakuna
According to the Ashigumo,
they often show up in the nearby stream.
[09:44] Sakuna
We may be able to convince them to help us.
[09:48] Myrthe
Kappa! I have never heard of them before.
[09:51] Myrthe
Are they beasts?
[09:52] Sakuna
Sort of, but not exactly.
[09:57] Tauemon
They're yokai that can control water.
[10:00] Myrthe
Oh, yokai!
[10:02] Myrthe
I would love to see one!
[10:04] Myrthe
Kinta, will you be coming?
[10:08] Kinta
I'm not interested.
[10:10] Kinta
My arm still hurts, anyway.
[10:13] Sakuna
Leave him. He brought it upon himself.
[10:19] Kinta
You should go with the others.
[10:22] Yui
Want me to bring anything back for you?
[10:24] Yui
Fish? Meat?
[10:27] Yui
There might even be mushrooms.
[10:29] Kinta
I don't need anything.
[10:34] Yui
Fine.
[10:38] Kinta
Iron.
[10:39] Kinta
If you find any iron ore lying around,
could you bring it back for me?
[10:44] Yui
Sure.
[10:54] Yui
I can't see the pass.
[10:56] Tama
That's the power of the barrier.
[10:59] Tama
The demons can't enter the pass
because they can't see it.
[11:03] Myrthe
What is this?
[11:05] Tauemon
It's mugwort. The leaves are edible.
[11:08] Tauemon
It can be ground up and added
to mochi for a fragrant treat.
[11:15] Myrthe
Oh! It smells good.
[11:17] Sakuna
You really are interested in everything.
[11:24] Kinta
That should do it.
[11:26] Kinta
Okay!
[11:35] Ashigumo
Who's there?
[11:37] Kinta
N-Nobody. I was just looking.
[11:44] Kinta
I was wondering how you made
that impressive thing.
[11:48] Ashigumo
You mean this?
[11:49] Kinta
I'm not interested in wielding a blade,
[11:51] Kinta
but since I made
a living making handicrafts,
[11:55] Kinta
I'd like to create
something incredible someday.
[12:00] Ashigumo
They don't compare to this blade,
but I can create simple knives.
[12:05] Ashigumo
Shall I teach you?
[12:06] Kinta
Really?
[12:08] Ashigumo
But we'll need a forge.
[12:11] Kinta
A forge...
[12:18] Yui
It's nice and cool.
[12:20] Tauemon
I see lots of fish, too.
[12:23] Sakuna
Okay, you stay here and gather food.
[12:27] Sakuna
There could be demons about. Stick together.
[12:32] Myrthe
You always come here alone, Sakuna.
[12:36] Myrthe
Are you going to fight demons?
[12:39] Sakuna
Of course I am.
[12:41] Myrthe
Thank you.
[12:44] Sakuna
So you finally understand how great I am?
[12:47] Sakuna
You should be grateful.
[12:49] Tama
If only you hadn't said
that about yourself.
[12:53] Sakuna
Shut up!
[12:54] Sakuna
Make sure you tell Kinta that, too.
[12:56] Yui
Iron... iron...
[13:03] Tauemon
That's...
[13:05] Sakuna
A kappa!
[13:06] Myrthe
Kappa! It's so cute!
[13:11] Yui
It says, “Who are you?”
[13:14] Sakuna
You understand it?
[13:17] Tama
Kappa are a type of god
that live in the Lofty Realm.
[13:21] Tama
As a greater goddess, you must greet them.
[13:24] Sakuna
Right.
[13:26] Sakuna
I am Princess Sakuna!
[13:28] Sakuna
As a harvest goddess, Lady Kamuhitsuki
has sent me on a mission to...
[13:32] Sakuna
Ugh, you stink.
[13:36] Myrthe
So this is a yokai.
[13:38] Myrthe
So cute.
[13:48] Sakuna
What's wrong?
[13:55] Sakuna
What's going on?
[14:00] Sakuna
What are they saying?
[14:02] Yui
“Enemies! Outsiders!”
[14:04] Sakuna
Enemies? No, wait! We're...
[14:09] Yui
Ow!
[14:11] Tauemon
Yui!
[14:13] Tama
Your Highness, we should
retreat for the time being.
[14:24] Kinta
Are you okay?
[14:26] Yui
Sorry I couldn't bring back any iron.
[14:30] Kinta
It wasn't that important.
[14:32] Kinta
Why'd you have to do that?
[14:35] Yui
Sorry.
[14:37] Myrthe
I am sorry.
[14:39] Sakuna
You have nothing to apologize for.
[14:41] Tama
So, the kappa threw rocks at you
because they didn't like her?
[14:47] Yui
It was her blue eyes.
They said she would eat them.
[14:51] Sakuna
They must've had a bad experience
with visitors before.
[14:56] Myrthe
I have had rocks thrown at me before.
[15:02] Myrthe
The more you try to get to know someone,
the more they dislike you.
[15:05] Myrthe
That is especially true in Yanato.
[15:09] Myrthe
Perhaps learning about Yanato
is not good after all.
SIGN Maintaining and Fertilizing Soil
Good soil is required to grow good rice. Good soil is soft
and nutrient-rich soil, allowing plants to take root.
Farmers create good soil by mixing fertilizer into dirt
and tilling it year after year. In the past, excrement,
fish meal, and dead leaves were combined and
fermented to create fertilizer and keep the soil in good
condition. As a harvest goddess, Sakuna can determine
the level of nutrients in soil just by looking at it.

out so they don't get excited.
[15:32] Myrthe
Okay.
[15:35] Myrthe
You are going out?
[15:37] Kinta
I'm not going with you guys.
[15:41] Yui
Kinta...
[15:43] Sakuna
He's such a little brat.
[15:46] Tauemon
He's not very honest,
but I believe he wants to help us.
[15:51] Tama
In that regard, perhaps you're alike.
[15:55] Sakuna
Alike? Who is?
[15:58] Tama
You can't be serious.
[15:59] Sakuna
Hey, wait!
[16:06] Kinta
There's nothing around here.
[16:10] Sakuna
What are you doing?
[16:11] Kinta
Nothing.
[16:14] Sakuna
What?
[16:23] Myrthe
Does it hurt?
[16:25] Yui
No. Thank you.
[16:28] Myrthe
No, I am sorry.
[16:31] Yui
Don't worry about it.
[16:34] Myrthe
Yui...
[16:35] Yui
I don't really get it,
[16:37] Yui
but I think it's amazing that
you're trying to achieve something.
[16:41] Myrthe
Is it?
[16:44] Yui
I'm sure Kinta agrees.
[16:51] Myrthe
Kaimaru!
[16:55] Myrthe
What is this?
[17:00] Yui
It's scared.
[17:03] Myrthe
It is all right. I will not hurt you.
[17:10] Myrthe
I understand.
[17:16] Myrthe
Kaimaru...
[17:26] Myrthe
The priest said not to give up on trying
[17:31] Myrthe
to understand people and
communicate with them, so...
[17:43] Kinta
Is this the place?
[17:45] Tauemon
Yes.
[17:46] Sakuna
Hey, kappa!
[17:47] Sakuna
I am Princess Sakuna! I was here yesterday!
[17:50] Sakuna
I came to talk today!
[17:54] Tauemon
They don't seem to have heard you.
[17:56] Kinta
Maybe they got scared of you and ran.
[17:59] Sakuna
Then what am I supposed to do?
[18:07] Yui
I said to wait until
the others returned, but...
[18:13] Sakuna
Where did they go?
[18:15] Yui
The kappa said to follow the dog.
[18:21] Kinta
It's the dog.
[18:22] Sakuna
Oh, good. It came back.
[18:27] Sakuna
That's Myrthe's!
[18:39] Sakuna
Myrthe!
[18:43] Sakuna
I can't see a thing.
[18:44] Sakuna
Tama.
[18:45] Tama
Understood.
[18:58] Sakuna
This'll work.
[18:59] Tama
Your Highness!
[19:04] Sakuna
What? A demon?
[19:16] Myrthe
Sakuna!
[19:18] Sakuna
Myrthe!
[19:18] Myrthe
The kappa were running from demons.
[19:22] Myrthe
The demons eat kappa.
[19:24] Myrthe
Bad demons!
[19:26] Tama
Your Highness, hurry!
[19:30] Sakuna
I know!
[19:33] Sakuna
Gotcha!
[19:55] Myrthe
It is all right.
[20:00] Sakuna
Myrthe!
[20:05] Sakuna
Myrthe!
[20:15] Sakuna
What's going on?
[20:17] Myrthe
Poison!
[20:19] Myrthe
I scattered poison to protect myself.
[20:24] Tama
Your Highness, this is our chance!
[20:49] Sakuna
Blue eyes?
[20:50] Yui
They thought she was an enemy because her
[20:54] Yui
eyes are the same color
as that demon catfish's.
[20:57] Tauemon
And now that that's been cleared up...
[21:01] Myrthe
Let us head to the field below.
[21:04] Tama
They will be a huge help with rice farming.
[21:17] Kinta
Do I really have to talk to her?
[21:21] Yui
Kinta...
[21:24] Yui
You do.
[21:32] Kinta
God...
[21:33] Sakuna
What?
[21:34] Kinta
God—no, Buddha—no, Goddess!
[21:38] Sakuna
Wh-What is it? Are you plotting something?
[21:42] Kinta
No. I have a request.
[21:47] Kinta
While fixing your hoe, I realized...
[21:49] Kinta
I want to try forging blades.
[21:52] Kinta
I want to try making scythes
and swords with these hands.
[22:02] Myrthe
Far to the east is the land of Yanato.
[22:05] Myrthe
They believe that there have been
two worlds since ancient times,
[22:09] Myrthe
the land of gods and the land of humans.
[22:14] Myrthe
I plan to live in this strange land known
as the Lofty Realm a while longer
[22:21] Myrthe
so I can better understand Yanato.
[22:28] Myrthe
The sweet smell of the earth.

It's fine.

I'm just doing what I want to do.
[02:26] Sakuna
Yeah, but...
[02:29] Yui
I'm glad he found
something he wanted to do.
[02:33] Tama
I hear Kinta and Yui have been traveling
together since before they met Tauemon.
[02:39] Tama
I'm sure there's a story there.
[02:41] Sakuna
But still...
[02:44] Sakuna
What's this?
[02:46] Sakuna
Hey, big guy! We need water!
[02:48] Sakuna
There's no water!
[02:49] Tauemon
Ah, it's about time.
[02:53] Sakuna
What are you lazing around for?
[02:55] Tauemon
It's the midseason draining
described in the scroll.
[02:59] Tauemon
I drained the water on purpose.
[03:01] Sakuna
On purpose?
[03:03] Tauemon
Draining the water prevents offshoots so
the roots of the rice plants stay healthy.
[03:10] Tauemon
Myrthe!
[03:11] Myrthe
Understood.
[03:16] Sakuna
Growing rice sure is a pain in the butt.
[03:20] Tama
Growing good rice takes that much effort.
[03:30] Sakuna
What's this?
[03:32] Tauemon
They're the ducks Kaimaru brought here.
[03:35] Sakuna
Oh?
[03:38] Tauemon
The ducks are for the rice.
[03:40] Tauemon
They churn the dirt and eat
the weeds and bugs around the rice.
[03:45] Sakuna
Bugs and weeds?
[03:47] Tauemon
Summer brings lots of bugs
and weeds with it.
[03:52] Tauemon
A person couldn't possibly keep up
with removing all the pests.
[03:55] Sakuna
So that's why we use ducks.
[04:00] Sakuna
When did we get a cat?
[04:03] Tauemon
Oh, no!
[04:03] Tauemon
We must keep it away from the ducks!
[04:11] Tama
What a ruckus.
[04:14] Tama
We should split up and gather them back up.
[04:15] Sakuna
We can't do this ourselves!
[04:17] Sakuna
What are the others doing?
[04:20] Myrthe
Kinta is over there.
[04:22] Sakuna

Hey, Kin—

[04:42] Kinta
Huh?
[04:43] Kinta
Oh, it's you.
[04:45] Sakuna
What does that mean?
[04:47] Sakuna
Listen, you can't stay cooped up
in the forge now that we have one.
[04:52] Sakuna

[04:53] Kinta
Later. I'm in the middle

[04:59] Sakuna
What?
[05:00] Sakuna
Oh, you actually drank it.
[05:02] Kinta
What?
[05:03] Sakuna
Why are you so mean to Yui?
[05:06] Sakuna
She does it because she cares about you.
[05:09] Kinta
No reason. It's none of your business.
[05:14] Sakuna
Don't you like Yui?
[05:17] Sakuna
You've been together since you
were in the Lowly Realm, right?

In that case...

Get out.

Yui to weave for you?

need help with something.
[08:23] Kinta
Not really.
[08:25] Sakuna
Don't say that.
[08:26] Sakuna
There must be something.
[08:28] Sakuna
Like something you don't have
enough of, or something you want.
[08:31] Kinta
In that case, obsidian.
[08:34] Sakuna
Obsidian?
[08:35] Kinta
Yeah.
[08:36] Kinta
You might have to go pretty deep
into the mountains to find it.
[08:39] Sakuna
Oh, that's not what I meant.

Can't you tell? You can have it.

Yeah.

Is Yui still weaving at this hour?
[10:11] Sakuna
Probably.
[10:19] Kinta
Aw, man. It's morning already?
[10:28] Kinta
Yui, are you in there?
[10:29] Yui
Don't! I'll be right there!
Don't come in!
[10:32] Kinta
What? Are you changing?
[10:37] Yui
G-Good morning.
[10:39] Kinta
You're up early.
[10:44] Kinta
What's this?
[10:46] Sakuna
Yui didn't come back all night.
[10:48] Kinta
What do you think you're doing?
[10:51] Kinta
I said I didn't need anything!
[10:53] Kinta
Why'd you stay up all night making this?
[10:57] Yui
I just...
[11:00] Kinta
Don't do it again!
[11:13] Sakuna
I'm sorry. It was my idea.
[11:17] Yui
Goddess...
[11:19] Sakuna
But even if he didn't need it,
he shouldn't have said that!
[11:24] Yui
Don't!
[11:26] Sakuna
Yui...
[11:27] Yui
It's not your fault or Kinta's.
[11:30] Yui
I'm the one who chose to do this.
[11:35] Myrthe
Here.
[11:36] Myrthe
Eat this. It will cheer you up.
[11:46] Sakuna
What should I do?
[11:50] Yui
Don't worry about it.
[11:52] Sakuna
Yui...
[11:54] Yui
I don't think these feelings
of mine are love after all.
[11:58] Sakuna
Then what are they?
[12:01] Yui
I'm not sure.
[12:03] Yui
I just want to stay
with him and repay my debt.
[12:07] Myrthe
Repay your debt?
[12:10] Sakuna
What do you mean?
[12:14] Yui
Kinta saved my life before,
[12:18] Yui
even though he knew it meant he
couldn't stay at the temple anymore.
[12:23] Sakuna
The temple? Kinta used to live at a temple?
[12:27] Yui
So I want to repay that debt.
[12:31] Yui
But Kinta thinks I'm a creep
and a nuisance.
[12:35] Sakuna
No matter how you look at it,
he's in the wrong.
[12:38] Sakuna
I won't stand for this.
[12:39] Yui
No, wait! Kinta...
[12:43] Yui
Kinta doesn't remember saving me.

SIGN Water Management
Fields are filled with water drawn from rivers or lakes.
The amount of water is adjusted according to the rice's
growth. Immediately after planting, the field is filled with
water to increase the number of stalks. Once the plants
have grown, the field is drained of water so the roots can
grow strong. Rice plants need the most water when they
bloom, so plenty of water is added then. During harvest
season, the water is drained completely to make it easier
to harvest the rice. Because it is too difficult for Sakuna
to precisely manage the water level while also hunting,
when she goes out the others take turns managing
the water level.
[13:05] Sakuna
He doesn't remember the person he saved?
[13:08] Sakuna
What does that mean?
[13:12] Sakuna
What is it?
[13:13] Tauemon
There are a lot of bugs.
[13:16] Sakuna
What?
[13:17] Tauemon
We could sow something to keep them
away and see how it goes, but...
[13:22] Sakuna
What?
[13:23] Tauemon
It may only ease our minds,
[13:26] Tauemon
but we could perform a Mushiokuri ceremony.
[13:29] Sakuna
Mushiokuri?
[13:30] Tama
It's a type of ceremony
performed in the Lowly Realm.
[13:34] Tama
They burn fires at night to
keep insects away from the fields.
[13:38] Myrthe
Oh, I'd like to see a Yanato ceremony.
[13:44] Kinta
Wh-What?
[13:46] Sakuna
What?!
[13:54] Sakuna
What happened? What was that crane?
[13:57] Kinta
How should I know?
[13:59] Kinta
When I entered the hut and looked inside,
it suddenly popped out.
[14:02] Sakuna
You mean you looked inside
without saying anything?
[14:05] Sakuna
Where is Yui?
[14:06] Kinta
I dunno.
[14:09] All
Yui! Yui!
[14:14] Tama
She isn't at the field below, either.
[14:17] Tama
Perhaps she ran away.
[14:18] Kinta
Why would Yui run away?
[14:21] Sakuna
It's your fault.
[14:23] Kinta
What?
[14:25] Sakuna
Why do you always treat her like that?
[14:28] Sakuna
She spent all night making
that for you, but you...
[14:33] Kinta
Is that why?
[14:35] Sakuna
Answer me!
[14:36] Sakuna
Depending on your answer,
I may show you no mercy.
[14:39] Kinta
She creeped me out.
[14:42] Kinta
She suddenly showed up and started following
me around, saying she wanted to help me.
[14:46] Sakuna
What?
[14:47] Kinta
Right?
[14:49] Kinta
She made up some story
about me saving her life.
[14:52] Kinta
At first, I thought she was
trying to trick me.
[14:55] Kinta
That I'd be sold off somewhere.
[14:59] Kinta
But that never happened,
and she didn't seem to be lying.
[15:04] Kinta
She stuck with me,
saying she wanted to help me.
[15:09] Kinta
So I told her she wouldn't
find happiness with me.
[15:15] Kinta
I'm poor. I can't do anything.
[15:18] Kinta
Being with me would only make her unhappy.
[15:22] Kinta
I told her to stay away from me.
[15:23] Kinta
That she was bothering me.
[15:25] Kinta
That I hated her.
[15:28] Kinta
If she stayed away from me,
[15:30] Kinta
any wealthy family would take her in with
her pretty pale skin and make her happy.
[15:39] Kinta
But she kept following me and following me.
[15:44] Tama
Your Highness...
[15:46] Sakuna
Let's go.
[15:48] Tama
Go where?
[15:50] Sakuna
That crane is our only clue.
[15:52] Sakuna
We have to go after it.
[16:02] Sakuna
There!
[16:06] Kinta
Why am I doing this?
[16:08] Sakuna
Don't complain.
[16:10] Sakuna
You're the one who caused this.
[16:15] Kinta
You're sure it went this way?
[16:18] Sakuna
No.
[16:20] Sakuna
But when I stopped by this valley before,
there was a beautiful spring.
[16:25] Sakuna
The crane is probably there,
[16:27] Sakuna
but we'll have to defeat
some demons to reach it.
[16:35] Kinta
Is that a shellfish?
[16:37] Sakuna
It's a clam.
[16:38] Sakuna
Don't worry.
[16:39] Sakuna
This thing you made is
better than I expected!
[16:53] Sakuna
Thunderbolt!
[17:06] Sakuna
This is it.
[17:07] Tama
Your Highness, look.
[17:10] Sakuna
The crane...
[17:12] Kinta
Could it be?
[17:15] Sakuna
What is it?
[17:17] Kinta
That's the crane I freed a long time ago.
[17:19] Sakuna
Freed?
[17:23] Kinta
Some young monks at the temple
once caught a crane in a trap.
[17:29] (Flashback) Kinta
That crane...
[17:33] Kinta
It was so white,
[17:35] Kinta
it looked like it was glowing
in the woods at night.
[17:38] (Flashback) Monk
Hey, looks like we caught something.
[17:41] (Flashback) Monk
Let's go check it out.
[17:48] Sakuna
So that's why you had to leave the temple.
[17:52] Kinta
How do you know that?
[17:55] Sakuna
I see. So that's how it is.
[17:58] Sakuna
Yui.
[17:59] Kinta
Yui? What are you talking about?
[18:01] Kinta
That's a crane.
[18:03] Visitor
She cannot speak anymore.
[18:06] Visitor
Because she broke her contract of secrecy,
she reverted to her original form.
[18:13] Sakuna
Who are you?
[18:14] Tama
I don't sense any divine energy.
[18:16] Tama
They're not a god.
[18:18] Kinta
What is it? I didn't hear anything.
[18:21] Kinta
Who are you talking to?
[18:26] Visitor
We travel between worlds
connected by the Tree of Creation
[18:30] Visitor
to save our world from
the brink of destruction.
[18:35] Visitor
We are the Visitors.
[18:38] Sakuna
The Divine Raiment...
[18:39] Tama
Could they have given it to Lady Toyohana?
[18:43] Visitor
That crane's fervent wish
transformed it into a human.
[18:48] Visitor
We granted her the power to weave
threads and bring people together.
[18:54] Visitor
The power of connection.
[18:57] Sakuna
Is there no way to turn
Yui back into a human?
[19:00] Visitor
In order to reclaim the name Yui,
[19:02] Visitor
she must reclaim the power of connection.
[19:06] Visitor
If that can be proven...
[19:09] Sakuna
Connection...
[19:11] Sakuna
Hey, Kinta. What do you think of Yui?
[19:14] Kinta
Wh-Where did that come from?
[19:16] Sakuna
Hurry up!
[19:18] Sakuna
Don't you care what happens to Yui?
[19:20] Kinta
B-But I don't know what to say...
[19:22] Sakuna
Hurry!
[19:24] Sakuna
Say how you feel about Yui!
[19:27] Kinta
Okay, okay.
[19:29] Kinta
Let's see...
[19:33] Kinta
Being followed around by Yui
used to exhaust me, but...
[19:46] Kinta
But I feel like I've changed
since meeting Yui.
[19:56] Kinta
Hearing her speak with my accent
made me feel comfortable around her.
[20:01] Kinta
For the first time in my life,
I was grateful to be alive.
[20:09] Tama
Nothing's happening.
[20:12] Sakuna
Why not? Didn't that count?
[20:18] Sakuna
True feelings...
[20:21] Sakuna
Kinta, do you have anything on you?
[20:23] Kinta
Like what?
[20:25] Sakuna
Something that shows how you feel about Yui.
[20:27] Kinta
I don't have...
[20:32] Sakuna
What's that?
[20:34] Kinta
I made this comb for Yui.
[20:37] Kinta
It's not much, but since Yui
was pale like the crane,
[20:41] Kinta
I thought it would suit her.
[20:47] Visitor
It seems you have a powerful connection.
[20:50] Visitor
You have proven its strength.
[20:59] Yui
Goddess... Kinta...
[21:02] Sakuna
Yui!
[21:06] Kinta
Yui!
[21:09] Yui
Kinta...
[21:11] Kinta
Are you sure about this?
[21:14] Yui
Yes.
[21:31] Sakuna
Oh, wonderful.
[21:33] Sakuna
It's love. This is love.
[21:36] Tama
How precious.
[21:41] All
Begone, bugs! Begone, bugs!
[21:46] Yui
Will this really drive off the bugs?
[21:50] Yui
It's almost morning.
[21:51] Yui
Oh, sorry.
[21:54] Kinta
It's fine.

The ears of the rice plants are sprouting.

[00:13] Sakuna
They're full of rice.
[00:15] Tauemon
But we mustn't let our guard down yet.
[00:19] Tauemon
Fall is the season
of heavy rains and storms.
[00:22] Tauemon
An entire crop can fail overnight.
[00:25] Sakuna
What?
[00:26] Sakuna
What do we do if that happens?
[00:28] Tauemon
We'll have to start over again next year.
[00:31] Sakuna
No way...
[00:33] Tama
Such is the nature of growing rice.
[00:35] Tama
Because of that, harvests are
a particularly joyful occasion.
[00:40] Tauemon
What's this?
[00:48] Tauemon
That seemed rather large.
[00:51] Tama
The Ashigumo said the volcano
has been rather active recently.

The volcano, huh?
[00:57] Kinta
Bad news!

This isn't the only place.

Looks like we'll have to pay a visit.

You mean to the volcano?
[03:03] Myrthe
Sakuna, don't you want to go?
[03:08] Tama
We entered the volcano once before, but...
[03:12] (Flashback) Sakuna
Today, we'll hike to the top.
[03:18] (Flashback) Sakuna
Wh-What is that?
[03:20] (Flashback) Tama
It sounds like a voice.
[03:32] (Flashback) Sakuna
L-Let's leave for today.
[03:35] Tama
She's avoided the volcano ever since.
[03:38] Kinta
Seriously?
[03:39] Kinta
You're a god,
but you're afraid of ghosts?
[03:42] Yui
Cute.

Shut up!
[03:46] Sakuna
I never said I was scared!
[03:49] Kinta
Then why don't you go?
[03:51] Yui
Yeah.
[03:55] Sakuna
Why are you two suddenly getting along?
[03:59] Tauemon
But the volcano's
poison could harm the rice.
[04:03] Tauemon
We must do something...
[04:05] Sakuna
Fine, fine.
[04:07] Sakuna
You want me to go check it out, right?
[04:09] Sakuna
Tama.
[04:10] Tama
What is it?
[04:13] Sakuna
Where did I put my spirit warding talisman?
[04:23] Sakuna
This place is as creepy as ever.
[04:26] Tama
It's filled with even more evil energy
than the last time we visited.
[04:30] Sakuna
I don't hear any voices, though.
[04:41] Tama
Your Highness!
[04:42] Sakuna
Is that a demon?
[04:51] Tama
It seems to be dead already.
[04:53] Sakuna
What?
[04:57] Sakuna
What's this?
[05:00] Voice
Hate... hate...
[05:07] Sakuna

I'm not sure.

[05:24] Sakuna
Ouch...
[05:30] Sakuna
Wh-What is this?
[05:41] Sakuna
Did these things kill the demons?
[05:43] Tama
It certainly seems that way.
[05:49] Sakuna
Fierce Furrow!
[05:55] Yomotsugami
Hate... hate...
[06:06] Sakuna
Ashigumo?
[06:07] Ashigumo
This way. Follow me.
[06:14] Sakuna
The corpses of Ashigumo?
[06:17] Ashigumo
Yes.
[06:18] Ashigumo
They've become Specters,
bringers of death shrouded in death.
[06:23] Tama
I see.
[06:24] Tama
So they've been killing demons
to avenge their own murders?
[06:29] Ashigumo
Yes.
[06:31] Sakuna
But why would they do that?
[06:34] Ashigumo
Many of the corpses come
from higher up on the mountain,
[06:38] Ashigumo
probably the peak itself.
[06:39] Ashigumo
There's something on the peak controlling
the corpses and making them do this.
[06:45] Ashigumo
They're defiling the Ashigumo.
[06:49] Ashigumo
I'd give my life to stop them.
[06:52] Sakuna
Ashigumo...
[06:54] Tama
Your Highness.
[06:55] Sakuna
I know.
[06:56] Sakuna
My father and mother met on this island
and protected it alongside the Ashigumo.
[07:03] Sakuna
I'll go with you.
[07:06] Ashigumo
Try not to get in my way.
[07:07] Sakuna
Who do you think you're talking to?
[07:17] (Flashback) Ashigumo
Try to keep up.
[07:20] (Flashback) Takeribi
Who do you think you're talking to?
[07:28] Sakuna
What is it?
[07:30] Ashigumo
Nothing.
[07:31] Ashigumo
Come to think of it,
when we fought Omizuchi...
[07:34] Ashigumo
you ended up like that
after the sword was broken.
[07:39] Ashigumo
Neither of us have had it easy.
[07:42] Ashigumo
Takeribi fought with the first
Kamuhitsuki after that as well.
[07:47] (Flashback) Takeribi
I don't care if they're
from the capital!
[07:50] (Flashback) Takeribi
Let's show them this is the
best island in all the Lofty Realm!
[07:55] (Flashback) Ashigumo
Yeah!
[07:57] Ashigumo
It was never boring with him around.
[08:02] Sakuna
You're smiling, too.
[08:05] Ashigumo
Does that bother you?
[08:07] Sakuna
No.
[08:08] Sakuna
I have no stories to tell about
my father or mother, that's all.
[08:15] Sakuna
I'm going to sleep.
[08:19] Tama
Don't worry about it.
[08:22] Tama
She's probably simply
beginning to feel...
[08:25] Tama
that Lady Toyohana and Lord
Takeribi actually lived here.
[08:35] Sakuna
Take this!
[08:40] Sakuna
We've climbed pretty high.
Are we there yet?
[08:51] Ashigumo
We should be there soon.
[08:53] Sakuna
Right.
[08:59] Sakuna
What's this?
[09:02] Ashigumo
There's something in there. Let's go.
[09:13] Sakuna
It's so hot.
[09:15] Sakuna
You're done for if you fall in there.
[09:22] Ashigumo
Who's there?
[09:23] Voice
Hate... hate...
[09:27] Voice
Hate!
[09:29] Sakuna
What's this?
[09:31] Tama
Probably a Homusubi Specter.
[09:34] Tama
This must be the one controlling
the Ashigumo corpses.
[09:48] Tama
Your Highness!
[09:58] Sakuna
Ashigumo!
[10:00] Ashigumo
The skeletons in the area
were probably my tribe as well.
[10:04] Ashigumo
And the one controlling them is...
[10:06] Sakuna
That thing, right?

I don't want to die...

[10:39] Sakuna
Ashigumo.
[10:40] Ashigumo
Kill it...
[10:42] Tama
Your Highness, we should retreat.
[10:57] Tauemon
He's gravely injured.
[11:00] Tauemon
We should keep him here for a while.
[11:02] Myrthe
I made medicine.
[11:07] Ashigumo
Forgive me. Please forgive me.
[11:10] Sakuna
Look after Ashigumo.
[11:12] Tama
Wait.
[11:14] Sakuna
As long as that thing is around,
Ashigumo can't recover in peace.
[11:18] Tama
But...
[11:18] Sakuna
I feel sorry for Ashigumo!
[11:20] Sakuna
He's been protecting
the island all by himself!
[11:51] Sakuna
It's not working.
[11:53] Tama
Your Highness, is that
the Rising Carp technique?
[11:56] Sakuna
It's the best technique for wiping out the
Specters that keep appearing everywhere,
[12:02] Sakuna
but I'm still not strong enough
to use Rising Carp or Milky Way.
[12:07] Tama
Wait.
[12:09] Sakuna
What is it?
[12:11] Tama
It will be harvest time soon.
[12:14] Sakuna

You are a harvest goddess.

You will use the power of the rice.

SIGN Harvest
When the plants begin to sag under the weight of the
plump rice, the rice is harvested using sickles and hung
from a rack to dry. Harvest time must not be missed, so
like tilling the fields, everyone helps with the harvest.
Rice that has been threshed using a threshing machine
or other tools is called unhulled rice. Because scraps of
leaves and straw are mixed in with the rice, winnowers
are used to separate them using air.
[12:44] Sakuna
This is killing my back.
[12:47] Tauemon
Once you've cut it,
tie the rice into bundles.
[12:55] Tauemon
Then we'll hang them to dry, like this.
[13:01] Sakuna
Hup.
[13:03] Sakuna
Like this?
[13:06] Tauemon
Very good.
[13:08] Sakuna
And we have to do this for both fields?
[13:13] Tama
They say fall is the busiest
season for growing rice.
[13:18] Tama
In the Lowly Realm, everyone in the
village works together to get it done.
[13:25] Sakuna
There's nobody like that here,
[13:30] Sakuna
but we do have someone
making more work for us.
[13:37] Sakuna
I can't move anymore.
[13:39] Tauemon
You did a truly fine job.
[13:42] Tauemon
Depending on the weather and dryness
of the rice, we'll move it into storage.
[13:50] Sakuna
I finished moving the rice.
[13:52] Sakuna
So, when does it become rice?
[13:55] Tauemon
Just a little longer.
[13:57] Tauemon
This is a kokibashi.
[14:01] Tauemon
You use it like this...
[14:04] Tauemon
to thresh the rice.
[14:12] Sakuna
Now this is the rice I recognize.
[14:15] Tauemon
Not yet.
[14:16] Tauemon
We still have to hull and polish the rice.
[14:20] Sakuna
There's more?
[14:21] Tauemon
Yes.
[14:24] Sakuna
I can't believe this is all
the rice we get from these plants.
[14:29] Tama
It also means all the blessings
of the earth and sun
[14:33] Tama
gathered by the leaves
are contained within the rice.
[14:42] Sakuna
I have to do this, too?
[14:55] Tauemon
Once the brown rice is polished,
we will finally have white rice.
[15:05] Sakuna
Like this?
[15:07] Tauemon
Yes.
[15:08] Tauemon
The whiteness of the rice depends
on how much you do that.
[15:13] Sakuna
So polishing it more
isn't necessarily better.
[15:18] Tauemon
Brown rice is more filling and nutritious,
but white rice tastes better.
[15:27] Sakuna
I see. That should be enough.
[15:32] Tama
This is rice.
[15:34] Tama
Your first rice harvest.
[15:39] Sakuna
It's beautiful.
[15:41] Tauemon
That's some impressive rice.
[15:43] Sakuna
All right. Let's cook it up and eat it.
[15:49] Kinta
Is it ready yet?
[15:51] Myrthe
You mustn't open the lid
even if the baby cries.
[15:55] Yui
I thought it was done
once it stops making noise.
[15:59] Sakuna
Really?
[16:03] Sakuna
I don't hear anything.
[16:06] Tauemon
Then it's probably done.
[16:09] Sakuna
I'm opening it.
[16:21] Kinta
What's this smell?
[16:23] Yui
Hurry up and serve it.
[16:26] Tauemon
I'll do it.
[16:28] Sakuna
Don't you dare touch that!
[16:35] Ashigumo
White rice? I haven't
eaten this in a while.
[16:40] Sakuna
Let's eat. Is everyone ready?
[16:46] Sakuna
Thanks for the food.
[16:51] All
Thanks for the food.
[16:56] Sakuna
This is...
[16:58] Kinta
What is this?
[16:59] Yui
It's sweet.
[17:01] Myrthe
Marvelous.
[17:03] Tauemon
I don't believe it.
[17:09] Tama
That is rice.
[17:14] Sakuna
Tama...
[17:16] Tama
From tilling in the spring
to hulling in the fall,
[17:20] Tama
you steadfastly watched
over the rice's growth
[17:24] Tama
and poured your love into it to create this.
[17:29] Tama
That is what makes rice strong.
[17:32] Tama
Rice is power.
[18:10] Sakuna
Where do you think you're going?
[18:14] Ashigumo
You have your mission from Kamuhitsuki.
[18:18] Ashigumo
The Ashigumo are none of your business.
[18:23] Ashigumo
I will settle this matter.
[18:24] Sakuna
Thank you.
[18:26] Sakuna
For protecting the island my father
and mother lived on.
[18:33] Sakuna
Will you let me handle this?
[18:37] Sakuna
They may be corpses, but I don't
want to see you fight your loved ones.
[18:50] (Flashback) Toyohana
Will you let me handle this?
[18:53] (Flashback) Toyohana
This quarrel...
[19:15] Yui
I tried making something.
[19:21] Kinta
Take this with you.
[19:33] Sakuna
Now I have nothing to worry about.
[19:41] Sakuna
Let's go.
[19:43] Tama
Be careful.
[19:46] Sakuna
I know.
[19:54] Sakuna
Hey. Sorry I kept you waiting.
[20:06] Tama
What? There are even more than before.
[20:09] Tama
Your Highness!
[20:11] Sakuna
No matter how many there are,
we just need to get rid of them, right?
[20:17] Sakuna
This is the power of rice!
[20:22] Sakuna
Take this!
[20:53] Sakuna
That won't work!
[21:11] Sakuna
Gotcha!
[21:23] Yomotsuhomusubi
Hate... hate...
[21:29] Yomotsuhomusubi
We were killed...
[21:34] Yomotsuhomusubi
By demons... by humans...
[21:51] Sakuna
Did it say humans?
[21:54] Sakuna
What was that thing?
[22:26] Ashigumo
Thank you.

[00:05] Kokorowa
Since Sakuna left for the Isle of Demons,
[00:09] Kokorowa
my life has changed dramatically.
[00:13] Kokorowa
I was appointed to an important
position by Lady Kamuhitsuki
[00:16] Kokorowa
and received praise
from the other gods as well.
[00:21] Kokorowa
It's like I traded my friend for honor.
[00:28] Kokorowa
But somewhere deep down,
this is the life I wanted.
[00:34] Kamuhitsuki
I received a letter from Princess Sakuna.
[00:38] Kamuhitsuki
I'm thinking of summoning her back.
[00:41] Kokorowa
Yes, Your Majesty.
[00:42] Kokorowa
My distress made me realize that
despite the status and honor I had gained,
[00:50] Kokorowa
I was still afraid of Sakuna's shadow.
SIGN Episode 7
The Melancholy of Kokorowa
[02:23] Sakuna
I am honored to have
received your invitation.
[02:28] Kamuhitsuki
Is what was written
in this letter the truth?
[02:32] Sakuna
Yes.
[02:33] Sakuna
The Homusubi Specter said those
words before it disappeared.
[02:40] Kamuhitsuki
In other words, humans are
involved in this demonic outbreak?
[02:45] Tama
It's too early to say,
but it's a possibility.
[02:53] Kamuhitsuki
This may have something to do
with the famines of the Lowly Realm.
[02:57] Kamuhitsuki
Continue investigating the reason
for the demons' appearance.
[03:02] Sakuna
Yes, Your Majesty.
[03:06] Kamuhitsuki
What is that?
[03:07] Sakuna
I humbly offer this rice that
was harvested on the Isle of Demons.
[03:11] Kamuhitsuki
Rice?
[03:12] Tama
It is the first rice Princess Sakuna
planted and harvested herself.
[03:18] Tama
We happened to return to
the capital just as it was harvested.
[03:21] Sakuna
I hope you like it.
[03:24] Kamuhitsuki
I see.
[03:25] Kamuhitsuki
So you're beginning to realize
what it means to be a harvest goddess.
[03:30] Kamuhitsuki
I appreciate the offering.
[03:33] Sakuna
Yes, Your Majesty.
[03:37] Sakuna
My neck hurts, and my legs are numb.
[03:41] Sakuna
Being in Lady Kamuhitsuki's
presence is exhausting.
[03:44] Tama
That just goes to show how
much you lounge around normally.
[03:49] Tama
Why not take this opportunity
to straighten yourself out as...
[03:54] Tama
Your Highness!
[03:56] Sakuna
Anyway, Lady Kamuhitsuki
sure is unreasonable.
[04:00] Sakuna
I thought if I gave her
some of her favorite rice...
[04:02] Kamuhitsuki
Princess Sakuna, as a reward for this rice,
[04:05] Kamuhitsuki
I will allow you to remain
in the capital for a while.
[04:08] Kamuhitsuki
Stretch your wings.
[04:10] Sakuna
At least, that's what
I thought would happen.
[04:13] Tama
Normally, only the best rice
is offered to Lady Kamuhitsuki.
[04:19] Tama
You should be grateful she
accepted your offering at all.
[04:22] Sakuna
Rice is rice, isn't it?
[04:25] Sakuna
Anyway, we came all the way here.
[04:27] Sakuna
I'd like to see Kokorowa's
face at least once.
[04:31] God B
Princess Kokorowa.
[04:33] God B
I'd like to discuss security
for the main temple.
[04:36] Sakuna
Kokorowa?
[04:38] Kokorowa
S-Sakuna? What are you doing here?
[04:41] Sakuna
Kokorowa!
[04:42] Sakuna
I missed you!
[04:44] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
[04:45] Sakuna
Oh, I missed this feeling.
[04:48] Sakuna
Being around you is so relaxing.
[04:51] Kokorowa
Why the sudden visit?
[04:53] Tama
We just made our report to Lady Kamuhitsuki.
[04:56] Tama
Seeing as it's the end of the year,
we thought we'd stop by.
[04:59] Kokorowa
S-So, will you be staying in the capital?
[05:04] Sakuna
I wish.
[05:05] Tama
We're returning to
the Isle of Demons tomorrow.
[05:10] Kokorowa
I see.
[05:11] Sakuna
Okay, let's drink.
[05:13] Sakuna
Tonight we're gonna drink all night,
just like we used to.
[05:15] Kokorowa
What? B-But...
[05:17] Sakuna
Don't hold back. The ship
doesn't leave until tomorrow.
[05:21] Sakuna
Come on. Let's go to my room.
[05:23] God B
Princess Kokorowa, our discussion...
[05:25] Sakuna
What a pain in the butt.
We'll talk in my room.
[05:29] Sakuna
You can come with us.
[05:34] Sakuna
It's been too long!
[05:36] Sakuna
Tama, bring me some sake.
[05:39] Tama
I will not, Your Highness.
[05:41] Sakuna
Don't be like that.
[05:42] Sakuna
I'm finally back in my old room again.
[05:45] God B
Your room?
[05:46] God B
Is this not Princess Kokorowa's room?

[05:54] Sakuna
Kokorowa, what did you just hide?

[06:00] Sakuna
This is an official appointment scroll.
[06:03] Sakuna
Did you receive this after I left?
[06:06] Kokorowa
No, I...
[06:12] Sakuna
That's great!
[06:13] Sakuna
You always said you wanted to
receive an important post.
[06:18] Sakuna
Doesn't this mean Lady Kamuhitsuki
finally recognized your efforts?
[06:22] Sakuna
That's great news!
[06:24] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
[06:25] Sakuna
Why didn't you tell me?
[06:28] Sakuna
Tama, bring us some sake.
[06:29] Tama
Your Highness, I cannot...
[06:31] Sakuna
Oh, shut up!
[06:33] Sakuna
If you won't bring it,
then I'll go get some myself.
[06:36] Sakuna
Kokorowa, we're
celebrating tonight. Got it?
[06:39] Kokorowa
Sakuna.
[06:41] Sakuna
What is it?
[06:43] Kokorowa
Nothing.
[06:45] Sakuna
Okay.
[06:47] Tama
Your Highness, you haven't
completed your mission yet!
[06:51] Tama
And we're going back
to the Isle of Demons tomorrow!
[06:52] Sakuna
I know, I know.
[06:58] Kokorowa
Unrequited Love Story?
[07:00] Sakuna
Yeah.
[07:01] Sakuna
It helped mend the relationship
between some kids named Kinta and Yui.
[07:07] Sakuna
I knew Koushi Oborozuki could do it.
They're a real genius.
[07:12] Sakuna
Why are you laughing?
[07:13] Kokorowa
No reason.
[07:15] Sakuna
Anyway, has Koushi
Oborozuki put out a new book?
[07:20] Kokorowa
Unfortunately, I've been busy
with my duties...
[07:23] Sakuna
Duties?
[07:24] Kokorowa
I-I mean, I'm sure the author
Koushi Oborozuki is busy as well.
[07:30] Sakuna
I see. I'd love to meet them.
[07:34] Sakuna
So, how have you been, Kokorowa?
[07:37] Sakuna
Is your new job difficult?
[07:39] Kokorowa
It is, but it's worthwhile.
[07:43] Kokorowa
I've increased my efforts
on security for the capital.
[07:47] Sakuna
Yeah?
[07:49] Kokorowa
Recently, demons have been
seen around the capital.
[07:54] Sakuna
Demons? So they've
started turning up here, too.
[07:59] Kokorowa
Yes.
[08:00] Kokorowa
We don't know what they want,
[08:02] Kokorowa
but Lady Kamuhitsuki said
not to let a single one inside.
[08:07] Sakuna
Then I must work on my mission.
[08:09] Sakuna
Ashigumo was worried about it, too.
[08:13] Kokorowa
Sakuna, don't you want to
return to the capital?
[08:17] Sakuna
What?
[08:18] Sakuna
I'm dying to return.
Of course I want to come back.
[08:23] Sakuna
The Isle of Demons is a terrible place.
[08:27] Sakuna
There's nothing to eat, the summers
are hot, and the winters are cold.
[08:30] Kokorowa
I see.
[08:32] Sakuna
But, because of that, the joy
of accomplishment is tremendous.
[08:40] Sakuna
But I still like the capital.
[08:43] Sakuna
After all, you're here.
[08:47] Kokorowa
Do you remember when we tried to go
to the Isle of Demons together?
[08:55] (Flashback) Sakuna
If we hide in here,
we'll get there eventually.
[08:58] (Flashback) Tama
Your Highness.
[09:00] (Flashback) Tama
How many times do I have to tell you?
[09:03] (Flashback) Tama
You're too young to go.
[09:07] (Flashback) Sakuna
You said my father
and mother lived on the island.
[09:11] (Flashback) Tama
That is true, but...
[09:13] (Flashback) Sakuna
Then couldn't I go see them?
[09:15] (Flashback) Sakuna
All I have to do is take this boat.
[09:19] (Flashback) Sakuna
If I'm wrong, then tell me!
[09:21] (Flashback) Sakuna
If it's not true, then tell me!
[09:23] (Flashback) Sakuna
If my father and mother
are gone, then tell me!
[09:32] Kokorowa
I thought then that maybe you...
[09:39] Kokorowa
That you were already far ahead of me.
[09:48] Kamuhitsuki
Princess Sakuna. Princess Sakuna.
[09:54] Sakuna
Lady Kamuhitsuki?
[09:56] Kamuhitsuki
No need to be so formal.
I came here on a whim.
[10:01] Sakuna
Oh, I was just...
[10:03] Kamuhitsuki
I'm not angry.
[10:05] Kamuhitsuki
I just wanted you to eat something.
[10:09] Sakuna
Eat something?
[10:17] Sakuna
What's this?
[10:18] Kamuhitsuki
One is the rice you offered me today.
[10:22] Kamuhitsuki
The other is rice grown by Lady Toyohana.
[10:26] Kamuhitsuki
Compare them.
[10:29] Sakuna
My mother's rice...
[10:47] Kamuhitsuki
Well?
[10:48] Kamuhitsuki
It's hard to believe
they're both rice, isn't it?
[10:51] Kamuhitsuki
The sweetness, the stickiness,
and the texture are all superb.
[10:57] Sakuna
So this is...
[11:02] Kamuhitsuki
It seems you've never considered
the differences in rice before.
[11:06] Kamuhitsuki
It changes this much
according to who grows it.
[11:10] Kamuhitsuki
Remember that.
[11:12] Sakuna
But why are you telling me this?
[11:14] Kamuhitsuki
I look forward to enjoying rice grown by the
daughter of Lady Toyohana the harvest goddess.
[11:34] Sakuna
Why?
[11:35] Sakuna
What's different? Was it the seed rice?
[11:39] Sakuna
No, the seeds Ashigumo gave me
were grown by my mother.
[11:44] Sakuna
I grew mine in the same place
in the same soil, but they're so different.
[11:52] Sakuna
Was it the fertilizer?
The water? No, the draining?
[11:57] Sakuna
Tauemon said when you harvest
affects the flavor, too.
[12:16] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
[12:24] Kokorowa
Sakuna!
[12:27] Sakuna
Kokorowa?
[12:29] Kokorowa
Sakuna!
[12:31] Sakuna
Take care!
[12:33] Sakuna
I'll work hard to accomplish
my mission and grow good rice!
[12:38] Sakuna
I'll grow rice that I can be
proud of as a harvest goddess!
[12:41] Sakuna
I hope you'll have some
the next time we meet!
[12:44] Sakuna
It's a promise!
[12:46] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
SIGN Brown Rice and White Rice
Rice that has been harvested and threshed is known as
unhulled rice, and rice that has been hulled is known
as brown rice. Brown rice that has had the germ
removed completely is known as white rice, and rice
that still has some remaining is called partially-pounded
rice. Brown rice keeps well and is nutritious, while
whiter rice is easier to digest and eat, but which state
someone likes most comes down to personal
preference. In Sakuna's era, commoners rarely ate
white rice, and it was a precious commodity.

Thank you.
[13:15] Kinta
Sure.
[13:21] Sakuna
It's so cold. Nothing like the capital.
[13:26] Yui
Goddess.
[13:27] Sakuna
I just got back.
[13:30] Sakuna
I brought a gift.
[13:34] Sakuna
I'm finally starting to warm up.
[13:39] Sakuna
Well, who do you think you are,
showing up right when I get warm?
[13:43] Myrthe
Thank you for waiting.
[13:45] Myrthe
There wasn't much, so I made porridge.
[13:49] Sakuna
The rest of you should try this.
[13:50] Kinta
Is that rice?
[13:51] Sakuna
Not just any rice. My mother grew it.
[13:55] Sakuna
I was able to bring
a little bit back with me.
[13:58] Yui
It's so shiny and pretty.
[14:01] Tauemon
I can practically taste it already.
[14:08] Tauemon
What's this?
[14:09] Myrthe
Oh! Delicious.
[14:12] Kinta
I'm surprised. It's nothing
like the rice we grew.
[14:16] Yui
I feel like I'm melting.
[14:18] Sakuna
Right?
[14:20] Sakuna
I was amazed after a single bite, too.
[14:22] Sakuna
I couldn't believe such
delicious rice exists.
[14:25] Kinta
Why not? You've never eaten it before?
[14:28] Sakuna
No, I mean, I used to eat this all the time.
[14:33] Yui
What does that mean?
[14:34] Tauemon
Th-This is...
[14:37] Tauemon
This is no ordinary rice.
[14:38] Tauemon
This is the kind of divine rice
all rice farmers dream of eating.
[14:46] Kinta
Is that worth crying over?
[14:48] Yui
Divine rice?
[14:50] Yui
Well, this rice really was made by a god.
[14:54] Sakuna
Tauemon.
[14:56] Tauemon
What is it?
[14:59] Sakuna
I want to try growing rice like this, too.
[15:02] Tama
Your Highness...
[15:04] Sakuna
After spending a year
cultivating rice, I had a thought.
[15:07] Sakuna
If it takes this much effort,
I want to grow the best rice possible.
[15:12] Sakuna
I want to create something
that will make everyone who eats it happy.
[15:15] Taumeon
That's a marvelous goal.
[15:19] Kinta
He's crying again.
[15:22] Tama
Finally...
[15:23] Tama
You've finally started
to become a harvest goddess...
[15:27] Yui
He's crying, too.
[15:29] Myrthe
Oh, cute.
[15:31] Sakuna
Is that possible?
[15:32] Tauemon
The entire process for cultivating this rice
is contained within the scroll.
[15:38] Sakuna
I see. Then...
[15:40] Tauemon
However, actually growing
it won't be easy.
[15:45] Tauemon
Growing rice is a battle of establishing
harmony with nature and weather.
[15:50] Tama
The same seeds and soil yield
different results depending
[15:54] Tama
on the sun, rain, heat,
and cold throughout the year.
[16:01] Tama
It is necessary to build
experience and cultivate
[16:04] Tama
the best possible rice
through trial and error.
[16:08] Sakuna
In other words, it'll take years?
[16:12] Tauemon
Unfortunately, yes.
[16:17] Sakuna
Then we have no choice.
[16:18] Tauemon
Sakuna...
[16:21] Sakuna
Is there anything we can do over the winter?
[16:31] Sakuna
The seeds?
[16:33] Tauemon
Yes.
[16:34] Tauemon
We'll put the seeds in here,
mix them into mud,
[16:38] Tauemon
and remove the bad seeds
that come floating to the top.
[16:43] Tauemon
By selecting only the fullest seeds
that sink to the bottom,
[16:47] Tauemon
we can prepare for planting in the spring.
[16:51] Sakuna
I see.
[16:53] Sakuna
It's strange, though.
[16:55] Sakuna
Each little thing we do
to prepare affects the final result.
[17:00] Tauemon
Indeed.
[17:03] Sakuna
And in spring, we'll start
growing rice all over again.
[18:30] Tauemon
Our fourth harvest was incredibly bountiful.
[18:34] Tauemon
I can hardly believe how much we struggled.
[18:37] Sakuna
The kappa did a great job.
[18:40] Sakuna
They did even more work than we did.
[18:44] Sakuna
What should we give them?
[18:46] Tama
Since they're kappa, perhaps cucumbers?
[18:49] Sakuna
Cucumbers, huh?
[18:50] Sakuna
But the ones that grow
on this island are too bitter.
[18:54] Tama
You could sell your rice
and buy some from the capital.
[18:57] Sakuna
That's a good idea.
[19:00] Sakuna
This year's rice
should be especially good.
[19:03] Sakuna
I was just thinking about offering some
to Lady Kamuhitsuki if it's good enough.
[19:08] Kinta
It's ready.
[19:18] Sakuna
It's so lustrous. Fragrant, too.
[19:22] Kinta
It's been years,
and you're still doing that.
[19:27] Tama
The time has come to give it a name.
[19:31] Sakuna
A name?
[19:32] Tama
Yes, a name for the rice.
[19:34] Tama
Aren't you going to offer it to
Lady Kamuhitsuki and sell it at the capital?
[19:40] Sakuna
Anyone got any good names?
[19:42] Kinta
I don't know...
[19:45] Kinta
Since it was harvested
on the Isle of Demons, what about Demon Rice?
[19:49] Sakuna
Too simple.
[19:50] Tauemon
What about Midnight Oil?
[19:54] Tauemon
In this remote place,
we endure great hardship to—
[19:57] Sakuna
Too convoluted. Next.
[19:59] Yui
Since a god made it,
what about God's Rice?
[20:03] Sakuna
The buyers could be gods, too. Next.
[20:06] Myrthe
Wild Sakuna.
[20:07] Sakuna
Next.
[20:08] Kinta
Instead of relying on us,
you come up with something.
[20:12] Tama
As the harvest goddess,
perhaps you should handle this.
[20:17] Sakuna
I suppose you're right.
[20:18] Sakuna
I'll use the rich vocabulary
I developed reading
[20:22] Sakuna
all of Koushi Oborozuki's
Unrequited Love Story.
[20:26] Sakuna
This is the Lofty Realm.
[20:29] Sakuna
In other words, Heaven. No, ama.
[20:32] Sakuna
And rice plants... inaho...
[20:36] Sakuna
What about the name Amaho's Honor?
[20:38] Kaimaru
Amahoho!
[20:40] Kinta
Amahoho, huh? That's nice.
[20:42] Yui
It's easy to remember.
[20:43] Tauemon
And feels familiar, too.
[20:45] Sakuna
No, wait. I said Amaho's Honor—
[20:47] Myrthe
Let's enjoy some Amahoho!
[20:50] All
Thanks for the food!
[21:03] Kokorowa
Sakuna did?
[21:06] Kamuhitsuki
Yes.
[21:06] Kamuhitsuki
The Amahoho she offered me
earlier was delicious.
[21:11] Kamuhitsuki
Rice like this can't be made without patiently
working with it over a long period of time.
[21:17] Kamuhitsuki
The old Princess Sakuna
could never have made this.
[21:22] Kamuhitsuki
I love rice more than anything.
[21:26] Kamuhitsuki
The ability to grow good rice is enough of
a reason to grant someone an official duty.
[21:31] Kokorowa
An official duty?
[21:32] Kamuhitsuki
Yes.
[21:33] Kamuhitsuki
I'm thinking of summoning Princess Sakuna
and granting her an official duty.
[21:42] Kokorowa
Why?
[21:43] Kokorowa
All she does is laze around and sleep.
[21:45] Kokorowa
She's selfish and does nothing to help.
[21:47] Kokorowa
So why...
[21:49] Kokorowa
Why does she receive
more recognition than me?
[21:52] Kokorowa
Why does she seem bigger than me?
[21:57] Kokorowa
I work so much harder than her
and have done so much more than her,
[22:03] Kokorowa
so why am I so afraid of her?
[22:06] Kokorowa
Why do I feel like I can't compare?
[22:16] Kokorowa
Who's there?
[22:22] Kokorowa
A demon?

It's cold as ever.
[00:08] Sakuna
Look. It's completely frozen.
[00:11] Tauemon
But you can detect a hint of spring.
[00:14] Sakuna
How?
[00:21] Kinta
Your fault for spacing out.
[00:24] Sakuna
You little brat!
[00:26] Kinta
Why are you acting like such a kid?
[00:29] Sakuna
Shut up!
[00:30] Sakuna
I don't want to be called a kid by a kid!
[00:37] Kinta
Who is that?
[00:40] Tama
Well, well.
[00:42] Tama
It's good to see you again, Semorigami.
[00:45] Tama
How have you been?
[00:49] Kinta
I don't understand
a word they're saying.
[00:52] Tama
This one is an exceptional Morigami,
but they've got a thick accent.
[01:00] Sakuna
What's this?
[02:32] Sakuna
Amahoho is a dangerous crop?
SIGN Episode 8 The Rice Riot
That Shook the Capital
[02:35] Tauemon
But we heard it has
a good reputation in the capital.
[02:38] Tama
Bad crops are the same
here in the Lofty Realm.
[02:42] Tama
It's been a while since anyone other
than Lady Kamuhitsuki has eaten rice,
[02:46] Tama
so the gods are happy.
[02:49] Sakuna
What's so dangerous about that?
[02:51] Tama
Apparently this is
the so-called dangerous rice.
[03:04] Sakuna
I don't notice anything unusual.
[03:09] Tama
You'll see once you eat it.
[03:11] Kinta
Isn't it dangerous?
[03:13] Yui
Does that mean one bite can't hurt us?
[03:20] Tauemon
What's this?
[03:21] Yui
It's definitely Amahoho.
[03:24] Myrthe
The flavor is normal.
[03:26] Sakuna
No, but... the aftertaste
seems a bit different.
[03:31] Tauemon
It's strangely addictive.
[03:37] Tama
That's exactly what the problem is.
[03:39] Tama
Those who eat this rice become addicted
[03:44] Tama
to the aftertaste and refuse
to eat anything else,
[03:46] Tama
so the distribution of Amahoho
is currently prohibited.
[03:50] Sakuna
What?!
[03:54] Sakuna
There are a few tiny grains mixed in.
[03:58] Tauemon
Did someone trying to damage
Amahoho's reputation mix them in?
[04:02] Sakuna
Who would do something so awful to my rice?
[04:09] Tama
They're not certain who the culprit is,
[04:12] Tama
but according to rumors,
there is one potential suspect.
[04:15] Sakuna
Who? Tell me.
[04:19] Tama
Is that true?
[04:23] Tama
Even Lady Kamuhitsuki?
It's gotten that far already?
[04:27] Sakuna
What is it? I don't understand.
[04:30] Sakuna
Hurry up and tell me.
[04:31] Tama
But this is...
[04:34] Sakuna
You better tell me after
making it sound so important.
[04:41] Tama
Try to remain calm.
[04:44] Tama
The one currently suspected
of distributing this rice is...
[04:48] Tama
Princess Kokorowa.
[04:51] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[04:52] Tama
Yes. Lady Kamuhitsuki
has already heard about it.
[04:57] Tama
She plans to investigate it herself soon.
[05:01] Sakuna
Kokorowa did this...
[05:03] Kinta
Who's Kokorowa?
[05:05] Yui
The one we met when we
first entered the capital.
[05:09] Kinta
Oh, the god with the giant gear on her back?
[05:14] Myrthe
Sakuna's friend.
[05:20] Sakuna
There's no way that's true.
[05:23] Sakuna
Kokorowa is my best friend.
[05:25] Sakuna
She'd never do anything like that.
[05:28] Tama
Depending on the results of the investigation,
she could be stripped of her duties.
[05:33] Sakuna
Don't be ridiculous!
[05:38] Tama
Where are you going?
[05:39] Sakuna
I'm going to the capital
to find the true culprit myself.
[05:43] Tama
You mustn't!
[05:44] Sakuna
Don't try to stop me.
[05:45] Tama
Listen to me!
[05:47] Tama
By offering her Amahoho and managing
to learn a little bit about the demons,
[05:52] Tama
you've caught Lady
Kamuhitsuki's attention.
[05:55] Tama
If you return to the capital
without her permission now...
[05:58] Sakuna
That said, I can't ignore this.
[06:01] Sakuna
Kokorowa is my best friend.
[06:03] Tama
But...
[06:05] Myrthe
I think Sakuna should go.
[06:09] Sakuna
Myrthe...
[06:10] Myrthe
You cannot abandon those you love.
[06:13] Myrthe
It is not good to do nothing when you
know something terrible may happen.
[06:17] Myrthe
My own god teaches the same thing.
[06:21] Yui
I agree.
[06:23] Kinta
Yui...
[06:26] Tauemon
If only you could enter the capital
without being caught by Lady Kamuhitsuki.
[06:34] Tama
Is there a way?
[06:44] Sailor A
Those are some big boxes.
[06:47] Sailor B
They're the Semorigami's
personal belongings.
[06:52] Sailor A
Huh.
[06:54] Tama
You really should reconsider.
[06:57] Tama
This won't fool Lady Kamuhitsuki.
[07:02] Sakuna
Tama, do you remember?
[07:05] Sakuna
When Kokorowa and I tried to get to the
[07:08] Sakuna
Isle of Demons by hiding
in a box like this one?
[07:12] (Flashback) Sakuna
If I'm wrong, then tell me!
[07:14] (Flashback) Sakuna
If it's not true, then tell me!
[07:16] (Flashback) Sakuna
If my father and mother
are gone, then tell me!
[07:22] Tama
I believe I remember that.
[07:25] Sakuna
I'm sorry about that.
[07:27] Tama
Your Highness...
[07:29] Sakuna
You stay in the box.
[07:31] Sakuna
Then I'm the only one who will be
punished if we're caught.
[07:37] Tama
You're hopeless.
[07:58] Sailor
What was that?
[08:09] Sakuna
We'll try going to
Kokorowa's room first.
[08:13] Tama
If we speak, the other gods will hear us.
[08:20] Sakuna
Tama...
[08:22] Tama
You mustn't speak. Find a way past them.
[08:25] Sakuna
Oh, hello!
[08:28] Sakuna
Oh, yes! V-Ventania, Ouka, Nadit!
[08:37] Yomi
This smell...
[08:40] Yomi
I recognize this smell.
[08:43] Hyotan
Where is Lady Kamuhitsuki?
[08:46] Landlady
She's speaking with Princess
Kokorowa about that matter.
[08:55] Sakuna
Tama!
[08:55] Tama
Hurry!
[08:57] Sakuna
Got it!
[09:04] Kamuhitsuki
My investigation of the rice circulating
in the capital led me to this bag.
[09:10] Kamuhitsuki
Do you recognize it?
[09:13] Kokorowa
With all due respect, no.
[09:15] Kamuhitsuki
So you had nothing to do with this?
[09:20] Kokorowa
No.
[09:21] Kamuhitsuki
Then why do the rumors say that you did?
[09:26] Kokorowa
Someone must be jealous about
the official duties I received.
[09:33] Kamuhitsuki
I see.
[09:40] Kamuhitsuki
Princess Kokorowa.
[09:42] Kokorowa
Yes.
[09:43] Kamuhitsuki
You could say this rice
circulated in the capital
[09:45] Kamuhitsuki
because there are issues
with the capital's security.
[09:49] Kamuhitsuki
You will use those resources
to find the culprit.
[09:52] Kokorowa
Me?
[09:56] Kamuhitsuki
Is there a problem?
[09:57] Kokorowa
No.
[10:00] Kokorowa
I appreciate your trust in me.
[10:14] (Flashback) Kokorowa
What's this?
[10:16] (Flashback) Kokorowa
If I mix this into Amahoho,
its reputation will fall.
[10:25] (Flashback) Kokorowa
What am I thinking? I could
never do something like that...
[10:35] Kokorowa
Why did I...?
[10:42] Kokorowa
Who are you?
[10:44] Sakuna
Kokorowa.
[10:45] Kokorowa
S-Sakuna?
[10:47] Sakuna
Kokorowa!
[10:51] Sakuna
Don't worry.
[10:52] Sakuna
I promise I'll find the true culprit
and prove your innocence.
[10:56] Kokorowa
Wh-What are you doing here?
[10:59] Sakuna
Who wouldn't rush
to save a friend in danger?
[11:03] Kokorowa
What did Lady Kamuhitsuki say?
[11:05] Kokorowa
You shouldn't be doing this!
[11:06] Kokorowa
You'll be in big trouble if she finds out.
[11:08] Kokorowa
You may be banished
from the capital forever.
[11:11] Sakuna
I just want to save you.
[11:14] Sakuna
I want to be here for you.
[11:17] Sakuna
You were there for me
when I was suffering most.
[11:26] (Flashback) Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[11:28] (Flashback) Sakuna
Are my parents dead?
[11:33] (Flashback) Sakuna
They're already...
[11:36] Sakuna
You quietly stayed by my side.
[11:41] Sakuna
I want to repay that kindness.
[11:45] Sakuna
Leave it to me.
[11:51] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[11:53] Kokorowa
Let's sleep for today.
SIGN Rice and Food Culture
Japanese food developed around soups, pickles, grilled
fish, and stews that went well with Japan's staple food
of rice. The invention of seasonings such as miso,
vinegar, and sake made from rice and beloved dishes
such as porridge, sushi, donburi made it take root in
Japanese cuisine. Local dishes adapted
to the climate are varied.

We seem to be inside a box.

Okay, that's the last one.
[12:47] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
[12:50] Sailor B
What was that?
[12:53] Tama
Your Highness, what are you doing?
[13:00] Sakuna
Kokorowa!
[13:05] Sakuna
Kokorowa!
[13:11] Sakuna
Kokorowa!
[13:13] Kokorowa
Sakuna, why are you so determined?
[13:18] Sakuna
Because I'm your friend.
[13:21] Kokorowa
Friend?
[13:23] Kokorowa
Now that I think about it,
perhaps that word was making me suffer.
[13:30] Kokorowa
After you left, I finally
received an official duty.
[13:34] Kokorowa
This is the least I can do.
[13:37] Kokorowa
I can't accept myself!
[13:42] Kokorowa
Automatons, handle the rest.
[13:46] Sakuna
Kokorowa!
[13:50] Tama
Your Highness, you mustn't do this.
[13:53] Tama
You'll cause a commotion.
[13:55] Sakuna
Too late!
[14:13] Tama
These seem different from
the automatons we've seen so far.
[14:17] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[14:35] Tama
Don't get hit by the light.
[14:53] Sakuna
Now!
[15:24] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[15:27] Sakuna
What's this?
[15:30] Kokorowa
The rice I distributed.
[15:33] Sakuna
That you...? Then you really did do it?
[15:37] Sakuna
Why?
[15:41] Kokorowa
Because I didn't want you
to return to the capital.
[15:45] Kokorowa
Because I finally received an official duty.
[15:49] Sakuna
Wait. I wouldn't get in your way.
[15:53] Sakuna
If anything, I was happy—
[15:54] Kokorowa
You don't know how I feel!
[15:58] Kokorowa
You eat and sleep when you want,
read books, laugh, and live wildly!
[16:04] Kokorowa
Unlike you, I've
always worked really hard.
[16:09] Kokorowa
But my efforts weren't recognized...
[16:12] Kokorowa
because you drew all the attention while
living luxuriously off your family's name.
[16:19] Kokorowa
Lady Kamuhitsuki finally
granted me an official duty.
[16:22] Kokorowa
I won't let you take
anything else from me.
[16:25] Kokorowa
I don't want to fear your shadow anymore.
[16:28] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[16:32] Sakuna
Hey, Kokorowa. Behind you.
[16:34] Kokorowa
Behind? What's behind me?
[16:38] Kokorowa
Were you listening to what I said?
[16:40] Sakuna
No, wait! We can talk later! Right now—
[16:42] Kokorowa
How rude!
[16:44] Kokorowa
When the one you called a friend is crying
in front of you, pouring her heart out...
[17:00] Kamuhitsuki
What a fragrant aroma.
[17:07] Kamuhitsuki
Not only did you leave the Isle of Demons
to return to the capital,
[17:11] Kamuhitsuki
but you managed to do that again.
[17:13] Sakuna
With all due respect, the rice
that burned was the dangerous rice.
[17:17] Sakuna
Compared to the previous bad explosion,
that was a good explosion.
[17:21] Kamuhitsuki
Don't be ridiculous!
[17:23] Kamuhitsuki
So, Princess Kokorowa.
[17:26] Kamuhitsuki
You're certain you were the one
who mixed something into the rice?
[17:29] Kokorowa
Yes. It was me.
[17:32] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[17:33] Kokorowa
I turned to evil because
I was jealous of my friend.
[17:38] Kokorowa
Please punish me as you will.
[17:41] Kamuhitsuki
I see.
[17:43] Kokorowa
I'm responsible for
everything that happened.
[17:47] Kokorowa
Please forgive Princess
Sakuna for her crimes.
[17:53] Kamuhitsuki
An honorable sentiment.
[17:54] Kamuhitsuki
I was impressed by your recent performance,
so this is especially disappointing.
[18:01] Kamuhitsuki
Therefore—
[18:01] Sakuna
Lady Kamuhitsuki!
[18:04] Sakuna
It was my inexperience
that caused all of this.
[18:10] Kamuhitsuki
But it was Princess Kokorowa
who mixed something into the rice.
[18:16] Sakuna
True, but I made Princess
Kokorowa do it because I never
[18:19] Sakuna
considered her feelings,
took advantage of my status,
[18:23] Sakuna
and screwed around
despite being by her side.
[18:26] Sakuna
If I'd been more considerate,
this wouldn't have happened.
[18:31] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
[18:32] Sakuna
Please place all the blame on me and allow
Princess Kokorowa to retain all her duties.
[18:41] Sakuna
Please!
[18:43] Kamuhitsuki
I see. In that case, Princess Sakuna...
[18:48] Kamuhitsuki
You will be banished forever and never
be able to return to the capital again.
[18:53] Kamuhitsuki
Are you all right with that?
[18:55] Sakuna
What?
[18:56] Kamuhitsuki
I will never allow you to return.
[19:00] Kamuhitsuki
I'm asking if you're
all right with that.
[19:02] Sakuna
Uh, well...
[19:05] Kamuhitsuki
What will you do?
[19:13] Sakuna
I understand, Your Majesty.
[19:15] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
[19:17] Tama
Lady Kamuhitsuki! Forgive me,
but this is too much!
[19:21] Kamuhitsuki
I have made my judgment. You may leave.
[19:27] Sakuna
Kokorowa.
[19:30] Sakuna
I'm sorry for everything until now.
[19:32] Sakuna
I won't see you again,
but do a good job with your duties.
[19:37] Sakuna
I'm glad you told me how you really felt.
[19:39] Sakuna
Even if we don't meet again,
I'll still be your friend.
[19:46] Tama
Your Highness.
[19:55] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
[20:00] Kamuhitsuki
What will you do?
[20:10] Tama
Your Highness...
[20:13] Sakuna
I...
[20:14] Sakuna
I can't do it!
[20:16] Tama
Stop! It's too late!
[20:18] Sakuna
It's for forever!
I'll never get to come back!
[20:21] Tama
You're the one who accepted it.
[20:25] Sakuna
I can just wear a mask
and sneak back in again.
[20:28] Tama
I don't think that will work.
[20:31] Kokorowa
Sakuna!
[20:35] Sakuna
Kokorowa?
[20:39] Kokorowa
Sakuna! Sakuna!
[20:43] Sakuna
Huh? Hey!
[20:54] Kokorowa
Sakuna!
[20:56] Sakuna
What is it?
[21:00] Kokorowa
Lady Kamuhitsuki gave me a mission.
[21:03] Kokorowa
I'm to travel to the
Isle of Demons with you,
[21:06] Kokorowa
find out why the demons
are appearing, and stop them.
[21:10] Sakuna
You, too?
[21:11] Kokorowa
Yes.
[21:12] Kokorowa
And if we successfully complete our mission,
we can freely visit the capital again.
[21:18] Kokorowa
Both you and I.
[21:21] Sakuna
Really? But your duties...
[21:25] Kokorowa
I'll resume them when I return...
[21:28] Kokorowa
with you this time.
[21:33] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[21:40] Kokorowa
I was always afraid of you.
[21:44] Kokorowa
I didn't understand why I felt dwarfed
by you, no matter how hard I tried.
[21:50] Kokorowa
Why you felt so mature
despite being so young.
[21:56] Kokorowa
But now I understand.
[22:00] Kokorowa
You're a harvest goddess
with a heart of gold.
[22:06] Kokorowa
And my friend who deserves my respect.
[22:18] Kokorowa
This is it?
[22:20] Sakuna
Yeah, where my parents once lived.
[22:24] Sakuna
Now we cultivate rice together in this pass.
[22:28] Kinta
You're...
[22:32] Kokorowa
My name is Kokorowa.
[22:36] Kokorowa
I am Sakuna's best friend.

carefully planted one by one.
[00:24] Sakuna
Hey, Kinta.
[00:26] Sakuna
It's crooked.
[00:27] Kinta
What are you talking about?
[00:29] Kinta
Yours are crooked.
[00:31] Sakuna
What do you mean? Mine are nice and...
[00:39] Tama
As you can see,
[00:41] Tama
planting the seedlings the
right distance apart is difficult.
[00:46] Kokorowa
I see.
[01:01] Myrthe
This is much easier.
[01:03] Yui
We know exactly where to plant.
[01:08] Sakuna
What a beautiful field.
[01:10] Kinta
She's not the goddess
of invention for nothing.
[01:13] Kinta
Nothing like the goddess who lounges around
despite calling herself a harvest goddess.
[01:18] Sakuna
You didn't have to say that last part.
[01:22] Yui
We appreciate your continued support,
Princess Kokorowa.
[01:31] Sakuna
What was that?
[01:38] Sakuna
What's this?
SIGN Episode 9
The One Who Controls the Demons
[03:11] Sakuna
Absolutely not! Demons are demons!
[03:14] Tama
Her Highness is correct.
[03:17] Tama
Demons are demons because
they are wicked and evil.
[03:21] Tama
There's no telling what might happen
later if we don't finish it off now.
[03:25] Tauemon
But what could it possibly do
when it's so badly injured?
[03:30] Sakuna
You've butchered and eaten
plenty of demon rabbits before now.
[03:36] Tauemon
You're not wrong, but...
[03:41] Myrthe
I will bring medicine.
[03:43] Sakuna
Myrthe.
[03:45] Myrthe
I think you are right,
but I cannot do nothing.
[03:57] Yui
Just look at these wounds.
[04:00] Tauemon
They seem to have been inflicted by a blade.
[04:03] Tauemon
Perhaps it was driven away
after a falling out.
[04:06] Yui
If it was driven away, that means
it's different from ordinary demons.
[04:11] Yui
Please. Say something, Kinta.
[04:18] Yui
Kinta?
[04:20] Myrthe
I made medicine.
[04:24] Kinta
We should kill it.
[04:26] Yui
Kinta...
[04:28] Kinta
Don't be naive.
[04:30] Kinta
What if it heals and attacks someone?
[04:34] Myrthe
Well...
[04:36] Tauemon
Kinta is right, but
if we kill it so it can't kill us,
[04:44] Tauemon
then we're no different from Ishimaru.
[04:48] Kinta
But...
[04:53] Sakuna
We'll kick it out as soon as it can walk.
[04:56] Sakuna
It can stay until then.
[04:58] Yui
Goddess...
[05:03] Yui
Yeah.
[05:04] Yui
We'll go thank her later.
[05:13] Sakuna
Honestly, they're all so demanding.
[05:19] Sakuna
Kokorowa.
[05:20] Kokorowa
I'm surprised.
[05:23] Sakuna
About what?
[05:24] Kokorowa
I doubt you would've heeded
the requests of humans before.
[05:30] Sakuna
It can't be helped.
[05:33] Sakuna
I had to say that to settle the matter.
[05:35] Sakuna
Honestly, they require
so much looking after.
[05:40] Kokorowa
Do they?
[05:44] Sakuna
Since coming to this island,
[05:46] Sakuna
I've done all the hunting,
exploring, and rice cultivating myself.
[05:51] Sakuna
I was at my wit's end.
[05:54] Kokorowa
All by yourself?
[05:56] Sakuna
Well...
[05:59] Sakuna
Tauemon may be clumsy, but he reads
that book so we can make better rice.
[06:05] Sakuna
Myrthe has done her best to learn
to cook unfamiliar Yanato dishes.
[06:09] Sakuna
Yui and Kinta are still
foul-mouthed children,
[06:12] Sakuna
but despite how they seem,
they're dexterous.
[06:15] Sakuna
They've made farming tools and clothes.
[06:18] Sakuna
Kaimaru is young, but he's doing his best.
[06:22] Sakuna
They stumbled into the Lofty Realm,
but none of them have given up.
[06:28] Sakuna
Not a single one of them is bad at heart.
[06:35] Kokorowa
What's this?
[06:36] Sakuna
A senbakoki.
[06:38] Sakuna
It's for removing the
unhulled rice from the plant.
[06:42] Kokorowa
I see.
[06:47] Kokorowa
What is that?
[06:48] Sakuna
Don't worry about it.
[06:49] Sakuna
It happens all the time on this island.
[06:52] Sakuna
Though, lately, I feel like it's
been happening too frequently.
[07:02] Sakuna
Okay. Let's go down to the field below.
[07:08] Sakuna
Tama? What's the matter?
[07:11] Tama
Your Highness...
[07:12] Tama
I was just wondering why
that demon wandered in here.
[07:17] Kokorowa
What do you mean?
[07:20] Tama
Lord Takeribi's illusion magic
is cast over the entire pass.
[07:26] Tama
Normally, a demon shouldn't be
able to wander in here so easily.
[07:31] Kokorowa
In other words, the spell is weakening?
[07:34] Tama
I considered that possibility,
[07:37] Tama
but I believe it's not that
the spell is getting weaker.
[07:40] Tama
It's the evil energy
that's getting stronger.
[07:43] Sakuna
Then demons will show up here eventually.
[07:46] Tama
If the evil energy continues
to get stronger...
[07:50] Kokorowa
But if the evil energy is getting stronger,
[07:54] Kokorowa
doesn't that make it easier
to find the source?
[07:58] Kokorowa
Isn't it easier to determine
where the demons are coming from
[08:04] Kokorowa
and where the center of it is now?
[08:07] Sakuna
You're right.
[08:08] Tama
So we should use this
opportunity to strike first.
[08:12] Tama
That may not be a bad idea.
[08:22] Sakuna
Looks like we can track it.
[08:25] Sakuna
Kinta.
[08:26] Kinta
Huh?
[08:27] Sakuna
I'm telling you this because
I see you as an adult.
[08:31] Sakuna
Keep an eye on the demon.
[08:33] Sakuna
If it does anything suspicious,
kill it right away.
[08:38] Kinta
Got it.
[08:46] Kokorowa
Thank you for waiting.
[08:49] Sakuna
Where did you get that?
[08:52] Kokorowa
Lady Kamuhitsuki allowed me to bring it.
[08:56] Kokorowa
Let's go.
[08:59] Sakuna
Do you think I could ride
on its other shoulder?
[09:04] Tama
It's important to walk
on your own two legs.
[09:09] Sakuna
Says the guy who floats around!
[09:18] Sakuna
It's this way.
[09:19] Tama
That's not where the Homusubi
Specter's volcano was.
[09:25] Kokorowa
Let's go.
[09:50] Tama
This place...
[09:52] Sakuna
Ashigumo.
[09:55] Ashigumo
What is it?
[09:58] Ashigumo
Who are you?
[09:59] Kokorowa
My name is Kokorowa.
[10:03] Tama
We followed the scent of a demon
who wandered into the pass here.
[10:12] Kokorowa
Look.
[10:14] Kokorowa
That's the only place
the mist isn't moving.
[10:17] Kokorowa
It's frozen in place.
[10:26] Sakuna
This must be it.
[10:32] Sakuna
Mother...
[10:37] Tama
The mist...
[10:42] Ashigumo
There's a castle here?
[10:44] Tama
It was hidden by a barrier, like our pass.
[10:50] Sakuna
But do demons know how to do that?
[10:53] Tama
There must be someone leading the demons.
[10:57] Tama
They probably grew the number of demons
on the island and attacked the Ashigumo.
[11:08] Sakuna
What is it?
[11:10] Ashigumo
We're surrounded.
[11:18] Sakuna
So many...
[11:19] Ashigumo
It's an ambush.
[11:20] Ashigumo
Looks like they knew we would come here.
[11:23] Sakuna
Here?
[11:26] Tama
That injured demon rabbit...
[11:28] Tama
Was it bait to lure you here?
[11:38] Sakuna
Kokorowa, stay here.
[11:39] Sakuna
Ashigumo, let's go.
[11:41] Ashigumo
Got it.
[11:42] Kokorowa
Automaton!
[11:51] Sakuna
What's this?
[11:52] Kokorowa
Have you forgotten?
[11:54] Kokorowa
Lady Kamuhitsuki gave me a mission, too.
[11:59] Kokorowa
The same as yours.
[12:02] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[12:07] Sakuna
Ashigumo!
[12:08] Tama
Your Highness!
[12:09] Sakuna
What?
[12:10] Tama
This trap, the demon rabbit...
[12:13] Tama
I'm worried about the pass.
[12:15] Sakuna
But...
[12:16] Kokorowa
I'll go to the pass.
[12:19] Sakuna
Kokorowa... Will you be
all right on your own?
[12:21] Kokorowa
I've worked just as hard as you.
[12:25] Kokorowa
Don't worry about me.
[12:30] Kokorowa
Be careful.
SIGN Rice, Health, and Nutrition
Eating rice provides not only carbohydrates that serve
as a source of energy for the brain and body, but also
the protein necessary to build muscle and dietary fiber
to maintain a healthy gut microbiome. It is low in fat.
When eaten with soups and side dishes, it becomes an
exceptionally nutritious and healthy food. Rice is an
essential part of a complete meal, along with one soup
and three sides.

Ashigumo.
[12:58] Ashigumo
That's an unbelievable number
of demons, even more than before.
[13:01] Ashigumo
The demons' leader is definitely in there.
[13:09] Sakuna
I'll handle this!
[13:24] Sakuna
Let's go.
[13:27] Sakuna
It's in here, huh?
[13:32] Sakuna
What is that?
[13:45] Tama
Your Highness!
[13:54] Sakuna
You...
[14:02] Kokorowa/Id
Didn't I tell you?
[14:04] Kokorowa/Id
I don't want to lose to you.
[14:08] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[14:23] Ashigumo
Hurry!
[14:34] Sakuna
There's nothing here.
[14:36] Sakuna
That can't be possible, right?
[14:42] Sakuna
What?
[14:43] Tomo
The Homusubi Specter...
[14:45] Sakuna
But it sank into a sea of fire!
[14:48] Tama
The Homusubi Specter
[14:50] Tama
uses flames of undeath to weave
the hatred of the dead into new deaths.
[14:54] Tama
It must've been drawn to the powerful
evil energies here and reappeared.
[15:00] Homusubi
Hate... hate...
[15:07] Ashigumo
I'll handle this.
[15:08] Sakuna
Ashigumo.
[15:10] Ashigumo
Its hatred was originally the grudges
of the Ashigumo slain by demons.
[15:16] Ashigumo
I remained on the island to put that to rest.
[15:22] Sakuna
You're going to fight it alone?
[15:30] Ashigumo
It's time to end this.
[15:33] Tama
Your Highness.
[15:41] Sakuna
Who is that?
[15:45] Sakuna
Is he asleep?
[15:47] Tama
The evil energy is so strong,
my beard is bristling!
[15:54] Ishimaru
That voice...
[15:55] Ishimaru
I was wondering who you were.
[15:58] Ishimaru
You're the brat I met on the bridge.
[16:02] Sakuna
You're...
[16:04] Sakuna
You're the man I kicked off the bridge.
[16:09] Ishimaru
It's been a while.
[16:12] Sakuna
You've amassed a lot of energy
since I last saw you.
[16:17] Ishimaru
Well, yeah.
[16:18] Ishimaru
I arrived on the island long before you.
[16:22] Sakuna
What do you mean?
[16:23] Sakuna
What are you even doing here?
[16:28] Ishimaru
What happened to that fool Katsura?
[16:31] Ishimaru
Is he dead?
[16:33] Tama
Before us?
[16:35] Tama
The Bridge of Heaven!
[16:38] Sakuna
What do you mean?
[16:39] Tama
The Bridge of Heaven was created
by the first Lady Kamuhitsuki
[16:43] Tama
to connect various times and places.
[16:46] Tama
The mist around it
has no defined time or place.
[16:50] Tama
It is undefined and
the foundation of both worlds.
[16:55] Sakuna
So, by entering it, he came
to this island in the distant past.
[17:01] Ishimaru
Many years have passed
since I first came to this island.
[17:07] Ishimuar
I had more than enough time
to hone my skills.
[17:11] Sakuna
Why didn't you attack us
when you learned we came to the island?
[17:16] Ishimaru
I've had my hands full with other things.
[17:19] Ishimaru
Besides, killing you isn't my goal.
[17:23] Ishimaru
It's destroying both the Lofty Realm
and the Lowly Realm with him.
[17:30] Tama
Him?
[17:34] Tama
He's coming.
[17:39] Ishimaru
You'll pay for what you did
to me on that bridge!
[17:42] Ishimaru
Then I'll kill Katsura,
that woman, and the kids!
[17:52] Ishimaru
You think you can cut me with that?
[18:13] Tama
Your Highness!
[18:15] Sakuna
Don't worry.
[18:16] Sakuna
Ashigumo and Kokorowa let me
conserve my strength.
[18:22] Sakuna
Kinta and Yui made tools for me.
[18:29] Sakuna
Myrthe cooked the rice that
granted me even more power.
[18:33] Sakuna
I won't lose!
[18:37] Ishimaru
Why, you...!
[18:55] Sakuna
Take this!
[19:05] Tama
Your Highness, finish him.
[19:07] Sakuna
Finish him?
[19:08] Tama
As long as he's around, the demons
will band together and attack again.
[19:15] Tama
You must end it.
[19:26] Sakuna
Leave this place.
[19:27] Tama
Your Highness!
[19:29] Sakuna
Remember what Tauemon said?
[19:32] Sakuna
If we kill him simply so he can't
kill us, we're no different.
[19:38] Ishimaru
Katsura, huh?
[19:41] Ishimaru
What an annoying bastard.
[19:45] Sakuna
Sounds like you share
a deep connection with Tauemon.
[19:49] Sakuna
You may not be able to right away,
[19:51] Sakuna
but someday you should have
a heart-to-heart.
[19:55] Ishimaru
You're naive.
[19:56] Ishimaru
I'd rather slice his throat open.
[20:02] Sakuna
What was that?
[20:03] Tama
Look
[20:08] Sakuna
The mountain is burning...
[20:14] Ishimaru
It's begun.
[20:16] Ishimaru
I'm sure you've heard of him.
[20:19] Ishimaru
The evil god Omizuchi has awakened!
[20:22] Sakuna
Omizuchi?
[20:24] Tama
Impossible!
[20:25] Tama
Lord Takeribi defeated Omizuchi with me,
the Blade of Hoshidama.
[20:30] Ishimaru
He was once defeated by the gods
of the capital and the Ashigumo,
[20:37] Ishimaru
but he's not dead.
[20:40] Ishimaru
He's been biding his
time deep within the land.
[21:00] Ishimaru
When I arrived on the island,
[21:03] Ishimaru
I was drawn to his evil
energy and encountered him.
[21:07] Ishimaru
Uncontrollable hatred and rage...
[21:11] Ishimaru
He smelled just like me.
[21:16] Ishimaru
In exchange for healing his wounds,
I was given this demonic power
[21:22] Ishimaru
so we could destroy the Lofty Realm
and invade the Lowly Realm.
[21:28] Sakuna
You bastard...
[21:29] Ishimaru
Tell Katsura that you'll
regret your naivety.
[21:36] Sakuna
Hey, wait!
[21:43] Sakuna
Damn him.
[21:45] Tama
Your Highness!
[21:48] Sakuna
The island...
[21:50] Tama
I see flames in the pass, too.
[21:54] Tama
We should return for now.
[22:07] Sakuna
What is this?
[22:08] Tama
Your Highness, look at this.
[22:11] Sakuna
They're demon footprints.
[22:12] Tama
A lot of them, too.
[22:15] Tama
Perhaps that demon rabbit guided them here.
[22:19] Sakuna
Kokorowa!
[22:20] Sakuna
Tauemon! Kinta! Yui!
[22:23] Sakuna
Myrthe! Kaimaru!

You're all right.
[02:44] Sakuna
So this is where you've been hiding.
[02:47] Tauemon
A horde of demons attacked
during the eruption.
[02:51] Sakuna
So that's what happened.
[02:53] Sakuna
In any case, I'm glad
everyone's all right.
[02:56] Tauemon
But the house and the field
you worked so hard to grow...
[03:02] Kinta
It's my fault.
[03:04] Sakuna
Kinta...
[03:05] Kinta
That injured demon rabbit led them here.
[03:10] Kinta
You told me to kill it
if it tried anything, but I...
[03:21] Yui
It's my fault. I asked you to spare it.
[03:26] Myrthe
It is not your fault, Kinta.
[03:28] Myrthe
We are being tested by God.
[03:30] Myrthe
By overcoming this together—
[03:32] Kinta
Overcoming this? How?
[03:35] Kinta
Our home, the shed... everything's
been burned to the ground.
[03:39] Kinta
The rain and ash have made
the fields useless, too.
[03:42] Kinta
We have nothing! There's nothing left!

[04:12] Tama
Your Highness.
[04:14] Sakuna
I'm going to the outhouse.
[04:22] Sakuna
The outhouse burned down, too.
[04:25] Sakuna
Of course it did.
[05:16] Sakuna
No... no...
[05:23] Sakuna/Id

[05:25] Sakuna/Id
Nothing good will come from staying here!
[05:29] Sakuna/Id

I'm going home!
[05:39] Sakuna/Id
I'm going home and living

[05:43] Sakuna/Id

I've had enough!
[05:49] (Flashback) Sakuna
Everyone's ganging up on me

[05:54] Sakuna
But that would be no
different from back then.
[06:01] Sakuna
No different at all.

Your Highness.
[06:16] Sakuna
Tama.
[06:18] Tama
I tell you this as the Blade of Hoshidama
that served Lord Takeribi.
[06:23] Tama
You are the daughter of Lady Toyohana the
harvest goddess and Lord Takeribi the war god.
[06:29] Tama
You are an important god.
[06:32] Tama
Now that Princess Kokorowa's safety is
uncertain and Omizuchi may have returned,
[06:37] Tama
your life must not be lost as well.
[06:42] Tama
I humbly request
that you flee to the capital.

[06:49] Tama
Yes.
[06:58] Sakuna
I love the others.
[07:03] Sakuna
I love the days I spent on this island.
[07:08] Tama
Your Highness, what are you doing?
[07:12] Tama
W-Wait!
[07:15] Sakuna
We'll cover the fields with straw mats
to protect them from the ash.
[07:18] Sakuna
It'll take some time,
but they can be restored.
[07:21] Tama
But...
[07:23] Sakuna
We can gather wood
to rebuild the house, too.
[07:26] Sakuna
The rice we had stored is lost,
but we survived without any at first.
[07:32] Tama
Your Highness...
[07:33] Sakuna
I'll do something about Omizuchi, too.
[07:36] Sakuna
I've defeated plenty of demons until now.
[07:39] Sakuna
With the power of Divine Raiment
and farming tools—
[07:40] Tama
You can't accomplish all of that alone!
[07:43] Sakuna
I'm not alone! I have the others!
[07:48] Sakuna
We're all different now.

and blamed others for everything

Huh?
[08:10] Sakuna
What?
[08:20] Kokorowa
Oh, excuse me.
[08:23] Sakuna
Kokorowa!
[08:25] Kokorowa
Sakuna.
[08:27] Sakuna
Kokorowa! Kokorowa!
[08:39] Tauemon
Princess Kokorowa.
[08:41] Kokorowa
I'm glad everyone is all right.
[08:44] Sakuna
Apparently, she returned
to find everyone, but...
[08:49] Sakuna
Sensing danger, she fled
to the ship offshore.
[08:54] Tauemon
Forgive us for making you worry.
[08:58] Sakuna
So, we have something to tell you.
[09:00] Kinta
Can we say something first?
[09:04] Kinta
We talked about it while you were gone,
[09:08] Kinta
but why don't we start over?
[09:12] Tauemon
We know it won't happen
overnight, of course.
[09:17] Yui
I'll do my best to help with manual labor.
[09:20] Myrthe
I will gather lots of mushrooms.
[09:26] Tama
As a god, you can't let them show you up.
[09:29] Sakuna
I know.
[09:31] Kinta
So, what were you going to say?
[09:33] Sakuna
You already said it.
[09:37] Kinta
Huh?
[09:38] Sakuna
You're as infuriating as ever.
[09:42] Kokorowa
What's this?
[09:43] Sakuna
A tekusari dumpling.
[09:45] Sakuna
I wouldn't call them delicious, but...
[09:49] Yui
We don't have meat or nuts,
but they're better than nothing.
[09:52] Myrthe
I like them.
[09:54] Tauemon
Just one?
[09:56] Kinta
Don't be greedy.
[09:58] Sakuna
Okay, everyone. Raise your bowls.
[10:03] Sakuna
Let these tekusari dumplings
represent a fresh start.
[10:08] Sakuna
With these, we will begin anew.
[10:12] Sakuna
We'll grow delicious rice again!
[10:14] All
Let's do it!
[10:32] Kinta
Yui, help me carry that tree over there.
[10:36] Yui
Okay.
[10:39] Sakuna
People really do change.
[10:51] Sakuna
What was that?
[10:53] Kokorowa
Is something the matter?
[10:55] Sakuna
No.
[10:59] Sakuna
It's sticky, and there
isn't much fertilizer left.
[11:04] Sakuna
It must be because of the ash and rain.
[11:06] Kokorowa
Would it be possible to remove
only the ash from the soil?
[11:11] Sakuna
Not when it's so mixed together.
[11:13] Kokorowa
In other words, the ash
dissolved into the water.
[11:18] Kokorowa
If we fill the fields
with water and till them,
[11:21] Kokorowa
the heavy dirt may sink while
the ash is washed away with the water.
[11:25] Sakuna
You're so smart!
[11:33] Sakuna
It's looking a lot better.
[11:35] Kokorowa
But it's still not completely back
to how it was before.
[11:40] Kokorowa
However...
[11:41] Kokorowa
Yanato has many volcanoes.
[11:45] Kokorowa
This has surely happened many times before.
[11:49] Kokorowa
And yet, crops have been grown successfully.
[11:51] Sakuna
You're right.
[11:54] Kokorowa
I will think about it.
[11:57] Kokorowa
Perhaps the soil has
self-cleaning properties.
[12:02] Myrthe
Have you seen Kaimaru?
[12:04] Sakuna
No. Is he missing?
[12:06] Myrthe
Yes.
[12:12] Myrthe
Kaimaru.
[12:15] Ashigumo
Be careful.
[12:16] Ashigumo
The evil energy may have weakened,
[12:19] Ashigumo
but you mustn't let your
guard down even in this pass.
[12:25] Tauemon
So Ishimaru was leading the demons?
[12:28] Sakuna
Yes. I'm sorry.
[12:31] Sakuna
With everything that happened,
I forgot to tell you.
[12:35] Tauemon
It's fine.
[12:36] Ashigumo
That human, huh? I saw him, too.
[12:42] Ashigumo
As though drawn to his evil energy...
[12:45] (Flashback) Homusubi
Hate... hate... hate!
[12:51] Ashigumo
When it said “hate,”
[12:54] Ashigumo
I thought they were the words
of the slain Ashigumo, but perhaps...
[13:01] Sakuna
It could be Ishimaru's hatred as well.
[13:04] Sakuna
I hope he mends his ways a little.
[13:08] Tauemon
That would be nice, but...
[13:11] Tama
You don't think
that's possible? Why not?
[13:14] Tauemon
Well...
[13:17] Tauemon
His family was killed by bandits.
[13:23] Tauemon
He became the thing he hated most.
[13:28] Tauemon
Because of that,
[13:29] Tauemon
he despises bandits like my former
leader who refuse to steal from the weak.
[13:36] Sakuna
So he's trying to become
the thing he hates most on purpose.
[13:40] Tauemon
Perhaps it's his way
of making things right.
[13:45] Tauemon
If I had to guess what he's
thinking now, it's probably...
[13:49] Tauemon
“I'll make you regret not killing me
when you had the chance.”
[13:58] Sakuna
What a sad man.
[14:03] Kokorowa
Sakuna.
[14:05] Sakuna
What is it?
[14:06] Kokorowa
To the capital.
[14:07] Kokorowa
Let's go to the capital.
SIGN The Battle Against Nature
Rice has been grown while battling against natural threats
including typhoons, heavy rains, droughts, cold weather,
and volcanic eruptions. Damage can be minimized by
controlling flooding using engineering works, innovating
cultivation techniques, and selecting species according
to the climate. Meanwhile, volcanic ash becomes
nutrient-rich soil over time and is linked to the creation
of fertile soil. It can be said that people have
battled against and utilized nature. The volcano of Hinoe
(later know as Crimson Blaze Mountain) has an elevation
of 1,500 meters.

[14:20] Kamuhitsuki
Princess Sakuna, Princess Kokorowa.
[14:23] Kamuhitsuki
I understand you desire
the Orb of Transformation.
[14:26] Both
Yes, Your Majesty.
[14:28] Sakuna
Do we?
[14:30] Kokorowa
Keep your head down and be quiet.
[14:33] Kamuhitsuki
Growing on the branches of the Tree of Creation
that produced me and sustains the capital,
[14:38] Kamuhitsuki
it is a fruit that controls
the flow of time.
[14:41] Kamuhitsuki
What do you intend to use it for?
[14:44] Sakuna
Well, uh...
[14:45] Kokorowa
To make rice.
[14:47] Kamuhitsuki
Rice?
[14:48] Kokorowa
We will use it to advance time
and strengthen the soil.
[14:53] Kokorowa
We need it to cultivate good rice.
[14:58] Kamuhitsuki
I see.
[15:01] Sakuna
You could've let me know beforehand.
[15:04] Kokorowa
Forgive me.
[15:05] Kokorowa
I forgot to speak because
I was deep in thought.
[15:13] Kokorowa
Here we are.
[15:15] Sakuna
The Orb of Transformation is in there?
[15:18] Kokorowa
Lady Kamuhitsuki has granted
us permission to enter.
[15:22] Kokorowa
Let's go.
[15:26] Sakuna
What a thick forest.
[15:34] Kokorowa
There it is.
[15:38] Sakuna
So that's...
[15:40] Kokorowa
The only branch on which
the Orb of Transformation grows.
[15:43] Kokorowa
I thought finding it would be harder.
[15:47] Sakuna
Lady Kamuhitsuki said we could
keep it if we could get it,
[15:51] Sakuna
but this should be easy.
[15:56] Sakuna
Are these aphids?
[15:59] Sakuna
Their goofy faces make me
want to punch them.
[16:10] Sakuna
My arms feel weak.
[16:13] Kokorowa
It would seem Lady Kamuhitsuki discreetly
used us to dispose of some pests.
[16:21] Sakuna
They've made a lot of progress
in few days we were gone.
[16:27] Tauemon
Sakuna, Kokorowa.
[16:29] Myrthe
Welcome back.
[16:30] Sakuna
Hey.
[16:32] Tauemon
So this is the Orb of Transformation?
[16:36] Myrthe
Unbelievable.
[16:38] Myrthe
Is that not the Amal Stone?
[16:41] Sakuna
The Amal Stone? What's that?
[16:44] Myrthe
The Formos missionaries stopped
by a nation called Dharka.
[16:50] Myrthe
It is a precious red fruit
that grows on a sacred tree.
[16:55] Sakuna
A precious red fruit
that grows on a sacred tree...
[16:58] Kokorowa
Perhaps they are connected somehow.
[17:01] Tauemon
So, what will you do with it?
[17:04] Kokorowa
The key is to advance time for the soil.
[17:09] Kokorowa
By mixing the crushed fruit into water
and pouring it into the field...
[17:24] Sakuna
It seems a little better than before.
[17:27] Kokorowa
It will take some time,
but by next spring...
[17:32] Kokorowa
Let's pour some into
the field below as well.
[17:34] Tauemon
With this, it'll be just like before.
[17:36] Kinta
It won't be that easy.
[17:38] Kinta
We haven't solved the volcano
or demon problems.
[17:42] Yui
The other day, I saw some demons nearby.
[17:45] Yui
I ran back in a hurry, but...
[17:48] Tama
They're right.
[17:49] Tama
The evil energy may have weakened,
but the same thing could happen again.
[18:03] Sakuna
Tama.
[18:04] Tama
What is it?
[18:07] Sakuna
The evil god Omizuchi...
[18:09] Sakuna
That's the source
of the evil energy, right?
[18:12] Sakuna
And the reason for the increase in demons.
[18:14] Tama
Most likely, yes.
[18:16] Sakuna
You fought Omizuchi with my father before.
[18:21] Sakuna
Do you think I could defeat Omizuchi?
[18:27] Tama
Your mind and body have gotten stronger,
[18:30] Tama
but Lord Takeribi struggled against him
even with the Blade of Hoshidama.
[18:36] Tama
Now that the blade has been lost...
[18:40] Sakuna
I see.
[18:44] Myrthe
Kaimaru? Kaimaru?
[18:47] Tauemon
Kaimaru!
[18:50] Sakuna
Kaimaru!
[18:51] Yui
Say something!
[18:54] Kinta
Kaimaru!
[18:56] Myrthe
Have you seen him?
[19:00] Myrthe
Kaimaru!
[19:01] Sakuna
Come to think of it,
last time he disappeared,
[19:04] Sakuna
Ashigumo brought him back.
[19:08] Sakuna
Over there?
[19:10] Ashigumo
Yes. There's a cave up ahead.
[19:13] Ashigumo
Perhaps he's gone there.
[19:17] Sakuna
The rest of you, go back to the pass.
[19:19] Sakuna
Tauemon and I will go check it out.
[19:22] Tauemon
This must be it.
[19:26] Sakuna
Kaimaru!
[19:30] Tama
Your Highness!
[19:34] Sakuna
That's...
[19:38] Sakuna
What is the meaning of this?
[19:40] Sakuna
Kaimaru, have you forgotten what
that thing did to us?
[19:45] Sakuna
Move!
[19:46] Sakuna
I said move!
[19:48] Sakuna
We lost our home because of him!
[19:53] Sakuna
Someone could've died, but you...
[19:57] Sakuna
I told you to move!
[19:59] Tama
Your Highness!
[20:01] Tauemon
Sakuna...
[20:02] Sakuna
Cowering won't save you now. Say it.
[20:06] Sakuna
Confess what you did.

Hate...
[20:14] (Flashback) Ishimaru
Hate... hate... hate...
[20:20] Sakuna
If not for you...
[20:22] Sakuna
If we hadn't saved you then,
this never would've happened!
[20:28] (Flashback) Ishimaru
Hate...
[20:31] Ishimaru
Hate...
[20:34] Ishimaru
Hate... hate...
[20:38] Ishimaru
Hate!
[20:58] Sakuna
Eat this.
[21:01] Tauemon
Sakuna...
[21:03] Sakuna
Even if you couldn't defy Ishimaru
or the other demons,
[21:07] Sakuna
what you did is unforgivable,
[21:11] Sakuna
but...
[21:12] Sakuna
I don't want to hate you.
[21:24] Sakuna
If you're carrying a burden
right now, set it down.
[21:30] Sakuna
I won't hate you anymore. I forgive you.
[21:37] Sakuna
So try living a little more.
[21:56] Kaimaru
Thank you.
[22:02] Sakuna
Kaimaru, did you just...?
[22:09] Sakuna
What?
[22:11] Ishimaru
Hey, Katsura.
[22:13] Ishimaru
It's good to see your face again.
[22:17] Tauemon
Ishimaru...
[22:20] Ishimaru
The more I look at your face,
the more hate I feel.
[22:27] Ishimaru
It makes me want to kill you all over again.

It's been a while.

It sounds like you were
growing some good rice, too.

Eating is the most

"A samurai uses a toothpick even

[03:12] (Flashback) Tauemon
No, based on your appearance,

Perhaps a carpenter.

No, a stonemason.

[03:29] (Flashback) Tauemon
Perhaps you're right.
[03:32] (Flashback) Tauemon
Not only that,
[03:33] (Flashback) Tauemon
but I'm a samurai who became a bandit
because I couldn't draw my sword in battle.
[03:39] (Flashback) Tauemon
I have no reason left to live.
[03:41] (Flashback) Ishimaru
Then die. Or shall I kill you instead?

[05:02] Ishimaru
You're a samurai,

[05:05] Tauemon
That's not what I'm saying!
[05:08] Tauemon
What good will come
from continuing to hate each other?
[05:11] Tauemon
Hating me won't quell any
of the rage inside you!
[05:18] Ishimaru
I know that already.
[05:26] Tauemon

[05:27] Tama
Oh, no!
[05:28] Ishimaru
It's been a while, Kaimaru.
[05:31] Ishimaru
Do you remember me?
[05:32] Ishimaru
It's me.
[05:34] Ishimaru
Ishimaru, the man who killed your father.
[05:37] Ishimaru
He was hopelessly stubborn.
[05:41] Ishimaru
He refused to steal from the weak.
[05:44] Ishimaru
A bandit leader can't be acting like that.
[05:48] Ishimaru
Don't worry. I won't kill you.
[05:51] Ishimaru
Instead, I'll make you suffer like hell.
[05:55] Ishimaru
Being hurt by the man
who killed your own father
[05:58] Ishimaru
will plant a hatred in you
that can never be repaid.
[06:03] Tauemon
Ishimaru...
[06:04] Ishimaru
That's how you're going to live.
[06:08] Ishimaru

He's probably...
[06:48] Sakuna
A god?
[06:50] Kinta
Kaimaru turned into a god?
[06:53] Tama
He didn't become one.
[06:55] Tama
Technically, he's becoming one.
[06:58] Kokorowa
That's right. There's
divinity growing inside him.
[07:03] Yui
Well, that's a surprise.
[07:05] Kokorowa
He's not the only one.
[07:07] Kokorowa
It's probably true
of the rest of you as well.
[07:10] Yui
Us, too?
[07:12] Myrthe
Will we become like Sakuna?
[07:15] Kokorowa
Yes.
[07:16] Kokorowa
Sakuna's mother, Lady Toyohana, was once
a human living in the Lowly Realm.
[07:22] Kokorowa
I hear she used her Divine Raiment to come
to the Lofty Realm and become a god.
[07:26] Kokorowa
Does that ring any bells?
[07:29] Kinta
Come to think of it,
[07:31] Kinta
lately my blacksmith's hammer
seems like it's glowing sometimes.
[07:35] Yui
Sometimes I feel like my loom is singing.
[07:39] Myrthe
I've identified symptoms
that can't be explained by medicine.
[07:45] Tauemon
I can eat 20 bowls of rice.
[07:47] Sakuna
That's different.
[07:49] Kokorowa
In any case, it seems likely
you're developing god-like powers.
[07:55] Kokorowa
You should get used to
them so they don't control you.
[07:59] Kinta
A god, huh?
[08:01] Tama
Depending on what you do next,
[08:03] Tama
you could become wonderful
gods like Lady Toyohana, or...
[08:13] Kinta
This is just a temporary structure!
[08:15] Kinta
It's dangerous in here!
Let's go outside!
[08:21] Sakuna
That's a pretty big one.
[08:23] Tama
It's been happening every day
since the mountain first spit fire.
[08:29] Sakuna
Is it Omizuchi?
[08:31] Kokorowa
Why don't we report this
to Lady Kamuhitsuki?
[08:35] Sakuna
To Lady Kamuhitsuki?
[08:36] Kokorowa
Even Lord Takeribi had trouble
with the evil god Omizuchi.
[08:40] Kokorowa
Surely Lady Kamuhitsuki would do something.
[08:45] Tama
You're right. However...
[08:50] Sakuna
Is there a problem?
[08:52] Tama
If Lady Kamuhitsuki goes
to fight, we'll be at war.
[08:56] Tama
It would be a major war involving not
just this island, but the capital as well.
[09:02] Tama
And if the Lofty Realm falls
into chaos, then eventually...
[09:05] Sakuna
There would be even greater
chaos in the Lowly Realm.
[09:10] Tama
Indeed.
[09:12] Tauemon
Even more chaos?
[09:14] Yui
If that happened,
[09:16] Yui
no one would be able to live
in the Lowly Realm anymore.
[09:36] Sakuna
Kokorowa.
[09:38] Kokorowa
You've grown quite skilled
at using your Divine Raiment.
[09:42] Sakuna
I've still got a lot to learn.
[09:44] Sakuna
If anything, now that we don't have rice,
I'm weaker than before.
[09:51] Kokorowa
Do you intend to fight Omizuchi?
[09:54] Sakuna
I'd love to defeat him if I could.
[09:57] Sakuna
But if I lose, then all will be lost.
[10:02] Sakuna
The efforts of my father,
who defeated Omizuchi...
[10:05] Sakuna
The efforts of my mother,
who grew rice here...
[10:08] Sakuna
The efforts of Ashigumo, the kappa,
and everyone who defended the island...
[10:15] Kokorowa
Sakuna...
[10:17] Sakuna
My mother left me this Divine Raiment.
[10:20] Sakuna
My father left me Tama,
who was the Blade of Hoshidama.
[10:25] Sakuna
I inherited heirlooms from
a harvest goddess and a war god,
[10:29] Sakuna
but what did I do?
[10:31] Sakuna
I distracted myself from
the sadness of my parents' absence
[10:35] Sakuna
by playing, drinking,
and sleeping every day.
[10:38] Sakuna
If only I'd noticed sooner.
[10:41] Sakuna
I had plenty of time to get stronger.
[10:46] Kokorowa
Tama and Lady Kamuhitsuki
have always been telling you
[10:51] Kokorowa
to mend your ways
and become a great goddess.
[10:56] Sakuna
You're right.
[11:01] Kokorowa
It was you who taught me there's
no point in regretting the past.
[11:07] Sakuna
Kokorowa...
[11:09] Sakuna
You're right.
[11:11] Sakuna
What's important is to have faith.
[11:14] Sakuna
In myself, and the power my parents left me.
[11:22] Tauemon
Sakuna...
[11:23] Sakuna
What is it? Is it about Ishimaru?
[11:27] Tauemon
Is fighting our only option?
[11:30] Sakuna
He'll kill us if we show any weakness.
[11:34] Sakuna
He showed no sign of holding back.
[11:37] Tauemon
"Eat or be eaten. Kill or be killed."
[11:42] Tauemon
That's what he used to say.
[11:48] Tauemon
Even against the weak, he was merciless.
[11:52] Tauemon
It was as though he hated himself and
wanted to create someone who would kill him.
[11:58] Tauemon
That's why I don't
want to fight to the death.
[12:03] Tauemon
If you wield a sword with hatred,
you're playing into his hands.
[12:08] Kokorowa
But I doubt he would listen.
[12:12] Tauemon
Just once, he smiled.
[12:15] Sakuna
He did?
[12:17] Tauemon
It was when Kaimaru first began walking.
[12:28] (Flashback) Kaimaru
For you.
[12:32] (Flashback) Ishimaru
I don't need any.
[12:34] Tauemon
No matter how much it deteriorates,
that spirit is still somewhere inside Ishimaru.
[12:40] Tauemon
That's what I want to believe.
[12:46] Ishimaru
Damn it!
[12:47] Ishimaru
Why am I so angry?
[12:52] Ishimaru
What was that voice?
[13:01] Ishimaru
The last of the Ashigumo, huh?
[13:04] Ishimaru
Good timing. I was just feeling pissed off.
[13:08] Ishimaru
I may look like I've fallen,
[13:11] Ishimaru
but I've still got a bit
of demonic energy left in me.
[13:15] Ishimaru
I wasn't expecting anyone
to come in the night.
[13:23] Ishimaru
You're a dead one, huh?
[13:35] Ishimaru
No matter. Sorry, but I
don't believe in retribution.
[13:40] Ishimaru
The only things here
are strength and weakness!
SIGN Onigiri
Onigiri have been around for centuries. The archetype for the onigiri is the tonjiki.
During the Tokugawa Era, their use as a convenient and portable "bento"
became widespread, and they were eaten during intermissions at theatrical
performances and on outings. Onigiri are also known as "omusubi."
According to one theory, the name originated among housemaids because
they were made by weaving the hands together.
They are also said to help bring people together and defeat oni.

Ishimaru...
[14:07] Kokorowa
Look.
[14:11] Sakuna
What is that?
[14:14] Sakuna
What's this?
[14:15] Tama
Your Highness!
[14:25] Sakuna
Ashigumo!
[14:27] Kokorowa
Sakuna!
[14:39] Sakuna
Are you all right?
[14:40] Ashigumo
Yes. Thank you.
[14:42] Sakuna
What's going on here?
[14:44] Ashigumo
I don't know.
[14:46] Ashigumo
The corpses of my people began moving again.
[14:49] Ashigumo
Driven by their hatred, they're attacking
the demons that killed them.
[14:57] Tauemon
What's this?
[14:58] Tauemon
Does this have something
to do with Ishimaru?
[15:02] Tama
The evil energy has grown stronger again.
[15:05] Tama
Perhaps Ishimaru's powerful hatred spread,
[15:08] Tama
and the Yomotsugami responded to it.
[15:18] Sakuna
Tauemon!
[15:25] Tama
Tauemon!
[15:28] Tauemon
I am ashamed.
[15:32] Tauemon
I'm still not ready to be a samurai.
[15:37] Tauemon
There's no reason
for me to live after all.
[15:40] Sakuna
Shut up, you hopeless samurai!
[15:42] Sakuna
How can you say you don't want to live
[15:44] Sakuna
after serving yourself dozens
of bowls of rice every night?
[15:48] Tauemon
Sakuna...
[15:51] Sakuna
You like making rice, don't you?
[15:54] Sakuna
You like working with the soil
and growing things, don't you?
[15:58] Sakuna
Isn't that enough?
[16:00] Tauemon
But...
[16:02] Sakuna
Leave the rest to me. I love this island.
[16:07] Tauemon
Sakuna...
[16:10] Sakuna
Kokorowa, you handle the rest.
[16:12] Kokorowa
Understood.
[16:14] Ashigumo
I'll assist you.
[16:15] Sakuna
Ashigumo.
[16:17] Ashigmo
That voice is probably...
[16:20] Kokorowa
Let us return to the pass.
[16:23] Tauemon
Princess Kokorowa.
[16:27] Tauemon
I have a request.
[16:35] Ashigumo
It's not here.
[16:42] Ashigumo
It seems to be calling us to it.
[16:52] Ashigumo
This is it.
[16:54] Sakuna
The sky...
[16:56] Sakuna
So it's always night here.
[16:58] Tama
The evil energy here is tremendous.
[17:01] Tama
Keep your wits about you.
[17:30] Sakuna
Ishimaru...
[17:31] Ashigumo
He was consumed by the Homusubi Specter.
[17:35] Ishimaru
Hate... hate...
[17:44] Sakuna
What was that?
[17:46] Sakuna
That was nothing like before.
[17:49] Tama
Its evil energy is incredible.
[17:52] Tama
The Homusubi Specter and Ishimaru...
[17:54] Tama
Their hatred is responding to each
other and running wild in there.
[18:03] Ashigumo
I'll draw its attention!
[18:13] Sakuna
What?
[18:31] Sakuna
Ashigumo!
[18:32] Tama
Your Highness!
[18:37] Sakuna
It's fast!
[18:46] Tama
Your Highness!
[18:49] Sakuna
It's so fast. It's nothing like before.
[18:53] Tama
It's too dangerous.
[18:56] Tama
We should retreat.
[18:57] Sakuna
But...
[19:02] Sakuna
If I can't defeat this thing,
then defeating Omizuchi is a wild dream.
[19:07] Sakuna
Mother...
[19:10] Tama
Your Highness!
[19:20] Sakuna
What is this light?
[19:33] Tama
Your Highness!
[19:34] Tama
Your Highness!
[19:37] Tama
Stop! Stop this at once!
[19:39] Tama
This is Princess Sakuna!
[19:42] Tama
I, the Blade of Hoshidama,
[19:44] Tama
am prepared to sacrifice
myself to protect her!
[19:53] Tauemon
Ishimaru!
[20:04] Tama
You...
[20:09] Tauemon
What are you afraid of?
[20:11] Tauemon
There's no need for fear,
anger, or hate anymore.
[20:21] Tauemon
Because you're already dead.
[20:44] Sakuna
Tauemon...
[20:52] Ishimaru
Well, if it isn't Katsura.
[20:58] Ishimaru
Did you kill me?
[21:02] Tauemon
You still don't understand?
[21:04] Tauemon
You died long ago,
consumed by your own hatred.
[21:12] Ishimaru
What is this?
[21:14] Tauemon
The rabbit you cut. I saved it.
[21:20] Tauemon
It says that it will forgive you.
[21:23] Tauemon
Haven't you had enough?
[21:25] Tauemon
Free yourself from hate.
[21:29] Ishimaru
Katsura, you truly disgust me.
[21:45] Kokorowa
Sakuna! Are you all right?
[21:50] Sakuna
Did the Divine Raiment protect me?
[22:11] Sakuna
Tama.
[22:12] Tama
Yes, Your Highness.
[22:14] Sakuna
I love this island.
[22:17] Sakuna
I love everyone who lives on it.
[22:21] Sakuna
I want to protect this island, so...
[22:26] Sakuna
So I...
[22:28] Sakuna
I will fight Omizuchi!

[00:01] Sakuna
So, what does this Omizuchi look like?
[00:06] Kokorowa
You called him an evil god.
[00:09] Tama
Omizuchi is a water dragon
who causes calamities.
[00:12] Tama
His size rivals Lady Kamuhitsuki's,
requiring one to look up at him.
[00:16] Tama
He resembles a giant snake.
[00:20] Sakuna
A giant snake?
[00:22] Tama
His entire body is covered in hard scales.
[00:24] Tama
They say there's nothing his claws
filled with evil energy can't destroy.
[00:30] Kinta
He's that powerful?
[00:33] Myrthe
Sakuna, you will fight him alone?
[00:36] Tauemon
How did Lord Takeribi defeat him?
[00:41] Tama
Lord Takeribi cut through his hard scales
[00:43] Tama
after a fierce battle using
the Blade of Hoshidama.
[00:49] Yui
But the Blade of Hoshidama
broke, didn't it?
[00:54] Sakuna
All I have is my Divine Raiment.
[00:57] Tama
Lady Toyohana received
that Divine Raiment imbued
[01:01] Tama
with divinity from the
Visitors in the Lowly Realm.
[01:06] Tama
But that alone won't be enough.
[01:11] Kokorowa
Sakuna, perhaps this
is too reckless after all.
[01:16] Tauemon
I agree.
[01:18] Tauemon
You cannot fight him
without the Blade of Hoshidama.
[01:21] Sakuna
But...
[01:22] Tama
Actually, we do have it.
[01:24] Tama
Half of the Blade
of Hoshidama is right here.
[03:00] Sakuna
No! I won't do it!
SIGN Episode 12
The Blade of Hoshitama
[03:02] Sakuna
How many times do I have to say it?
[03:04] Tama
It's the only way.
[03:07] Tama
You must melt me down and reforge me
into a new farming tool for yourself.
[03:12] Tama
Then you will be able to
pierce Omizuchi's scales.
[03:15] Sakuna
No!
[03:17] Sakuna
Won't your spirit be lost if we do that?
[03:21] Sakuna
You won't be able to talk anymore.
[03:23] Tama
My soul will remain as a sword.
[03:26] Tama
I will still be by your side.
[03:28] Sakuna
Don't be ridiculous!
[03:30] Sakuna
That's the same as losing you!
[03:32] Tama
Your Highness...
[03:34] Sakuna
You listen to me. Never bring this up again!
[03:37] Sakuna
As your master, that's an order!
[03:42] Sakuna
How's it going?
[03:43] Yui
I tried mending it with
the strongest thread I have, but...
[03:48] Sakuna
Sorry for all the requests.
[03:50] Yui
I don't mind.
[03:54] Kinta
This is the strongest
one I can make right now.
[04:17] Kokorowa
Perhaps I made it too strong.
[04:19] Sakuna
I thought I was going to die!
[04:22] Kokorowa
But this may still be weaker than Omizuchi.
[04:28] Sakuna
Well...
[04:32] Kokorowa
Did it tear again?
[04:35] Sakuna
Yeah.
[04:36] Sakuna
I can't fully utilize my strength like this.
[04:40] Sakuna
On top of that...
[04:41] Sakuna
I haven't seen that
strange light since then.
[04:49] Sakuna
I'll have to ask him to remake this, too.
[04:52] Kokorowa
Sakuna.
[04:56] Kokorowa
Nothing.
[05:00] Yui
It didn't work, did it?
[05:02] Sakuna
Can't you make it any stronger?
[05:05] Yui
I've already tried everything I can.
[05:09] Kinta
All I can do is reforge this, too.
[05:13] Sakuna
I see. Sorry, but could you?
[05:16] Kinta
What's the point?
[05:19] Kinta
Even if I can make it a little stronger,
I doubt it'll pierce Omizuchi's scales.
[05:25] Sakuna
Don't give up.
[05:27] Sakuna
It may take some time, but by gradually
making it stronger, eventually...
[05:39] Sakuna
That's...
[05:42] Kokorowa
We mustn't allow ash
to fall on the fields.
[05:44] Kokorowa
We should cover them, just in case.
[05:48] Tauemon
Understood.
[05:49] Myrthe
I will tell the kappa in the field below.
[06:00] Sakuna
The island...
[06:04] Tauemon
Should we really start planting
when the island is like this?
[06:08] Kinta
The number of demons is increasing, too.
[06:12] Kinta
It might be impossible
to keep cultivating rice here.
[06:18] Tama
Princess Kokorowa.
[06:20] Tama
I have a request.
[06:30] Sakuna
It's just like when I fought Ishimaru.
[06:41] Sakuna
Again?
[06:43] Sakuna
Why'd I have to tear
my Divine Raiment now?
[06:48] Kokorowa
Now that you've gotten stronger,
[06:51] Kokorowa
you're probably drawing on the
full strength of the Divine Raiment.
[06:54] Kokorowa
Your damaged raiment
probably can't keep up.
[06:58] Sakuna
You might be right.
[07:00] Sakuna
But how do you know that? You're not Tama.
[07:04] Kokorowa
B-Because...
[07:05] Kokorowa
More importantly, look at this.
[07:08] Kokorowa
I did my best to imitate what I've seen.
[07:11] Sakuna
Kokorowa.
[07:15] Sakuna
It's rather short.
[07:17] Kokorowa
I thought that would make it easier to use.
[07:21] Kokorowa
Here we go.
[07:34] Sakuna
Over here!
[07:47] Sakuna
What's this?
[07:49] Kokorowa
Sakuna.
[07:51] Sakuna
I did it. I did it!
[07:53] Sakuna
What is this? It's so sharp!
[07:56] Sakuna
I can beat him with this sword!
[07:59] Tama
This is the power of the Blade of Hoshidama.
[08:03] Tama
It is a unique blade unlike any other.
[08:06] Tama
Only the Blade of Hoshidama can defeat him.
[08:10] Sakuna
Tama...
[08:12] Tama
It's the only way.
[08:18] Sakuna
No.
[08:19] Tama
Your Highness.
[08:21] Sakuna
No! I refuse!
[08:28] Sakuna
Kinta! It's me!
[08:30] Kinta
Low-quality?
[08:33] Ashigumo
It's not enough either.
[08:35] Ashigumo
The top of the mountain is covered
in fire and unapproachable.
[08:41] Kinta
Damn it.
[08:43] Sakuna
Kinta...
[08:44] Tama
Yui is experiencing the same thing.
[08:47] Tama
She's been sacrificing sleep
to make something that won't tear.
[08:52] Tama
They're doing everything they can
for you and this island.
[08:57] Tama
At this rate, all their
efforts will be in vain.
[09:03] Tama
Do you remember when we
first arrived on this island?
[09:09] Tama
You spoke only of complaints and anxieties,
lamenting your unhappiness.
[09:15] Tama
“Is there any way to escape this place?”
[09:18] Tama
That's all anyone thought about.
[09:22] Tama
Not just you, but everyone here.
[09:26] Tama
When I saw that, I realized
I couldn't disappear.
[09:34] Tama
If I'd left you like that,
[09:37] Tama
I wouldn't be able to face
Lord Takeribi and Lady Toyohana.
[09:43] Tama
But now there's nothing to worry about.
[09:47] Tama
Seeing you and the others on the island now,
what do I have to worry about?
[09:53] Sakuna
No.
[09:55] Tama
Please allow me to be your sword.
[10:00] Tama
Please grant this old man his final wish.
[10:03] Sakuna
No. No, no!
[10:06] Sakuna
Why do I have to sacrifice you?
[10:10] Sakuna
Why would you ask me to do that?
[10:13] Tama
To save the island!
[10:16] Tama
Don't you want to save Hinoe Island?
[10:20] Tama
Don't you want to protect everyone here?
[10:39] Sakuna
Tama.
[10:40] Tama
Yes?
[10:41] Sakuna
No, Blade of Hoshidama.

Lend me...

Lend me your strength.

Thank you for saying that.
SIGN Preparing For Next Year's Planting
How was the rice cultivated? How was the weather? How did the rice turn out?
While eating their rice, farmers look back on how the rice was grown that year. This year,
the rice grew poorly due to lack of fertilizer, so next year, they'll use more. This year
the water was managed poorly, so next year, they'll be more careful. Sakuna and
her companions continue swinging their hoes as well, thinking about how to cultivate rice year after year...

Why are you up so early?
[11:40] Kinta
I can't do it.
[11:43] Kinta
I can't do it.
[11:45] Kinta
I can't melt down and reforge a sword
as incredible as the Blade of Hoshidama.
[11:51] Kinta
What if I mess up?
[11:53] Kinta
Once it's melted,

His spirit will be gone.
[11:58] Kinta
I can't do that.
[12:00] Sakuna

I ask that you grant him his final wish.
[12:17] Tama
Your Highness, you're up early.
[12:20] Sakuna
Tama.
[12:23] Sakuna
Listen, Tama. I spoke
with Kokorowa yesterday.
[12:26] Sakuna
Is there anywhere you'd like to visit?
[12:28] Sakuna
We could even take
a trip back to the capital.
[12:31] Tama
Your Highness...
[12:32] Sakuna
Tell me anything you'd like to do.
[12:34] Sakuna
There must be a lot you
haven't been able to do.
[12:39] Tama
Well...
[12:43] Tama
For me,
[12:44] Tama
I feel most at home in this
place where I spent time
[12:47] Tama
with Lord Takeribi and Lady Toyohana.
[12:52] Tama
I'd like to take it easy here.
[13:05] Sakuna
This is no different from normal.
[13:09] Sakuna
Are you sure you don't
want to go anywhere?
[13:12] Tama
The weather sure is nice.
[13:15] Myrthe
Have some tea.
[13:17] Tama
Ah, thank you.
[13:22] Tama
It tastes good.
[13:24] Tama
You've improved.
[13:26] Myrthe
Thank you.
[13:30] Sakuna
Oh, right. The rice.
[13:32] Myrthe
Rice?
[13:33] Sakuna
Didn't you say you found some Amahoho
the kappa had stored away?
[13:38] Sakuna
Could we get some of that?
[13:41] Myrthe
I believe so.
[13:43] Sakuna
Let's eat it together.
[13:45] Sakuna
I want Tama to eat the rice I made.
[13:50] Myrthe
Very well.
[13:59] Sakuna
A cow?
[14:01] Tama
Apparently.
[14:03] Sakuna
Did you bring that here?
[14:09] Kokorowa
Tauemon told me people attach
farming equipment to cows like this,
[14:14] Kokorowa
so I tried making something.
[14:26] Tauemon
A cow is very useful for performing
other types of manual labor as well.
[14:33] Tama
His divinity has grown stronger.
[14:37] Tama
Perhaps, because this child suffered
when his parents were killed
[14:41] Tama
in the Lowly Realm, he understands
hatred and anger produce nothing
[14:47] Tama
while forgiveness is
the source of true strength.
[14:56] Sakuna
It's still so cold.
[14:58] Kinta
It's hardly worth complaining about.
[15:01] Sakuna
I wasn't complaining.
[15:03] Myrthe
Do not fight.
[15:08] Tauemon
Hey!
[15:11] Tauemon
Let's get started as well.

I know that! Like this?
[15:36] (Flashback) Toyohana
That's too deep.
[15:38] (Flashback) Takeribi
It's basically the same.
[15:40] (Flashback) Takeribi
Cultivating rice doesn't suit
a war god anyway.
[15:44] (Flashback) Toyohana
Aren't you the one
who said he wanted to try it?
[15:49] (Flashback) Takeribi
Well...
[15:52] Toyohana

Could you sing me the planting song?

What are you doing?
[17:42] Sakuna
We were going to eat that with Tama!
[17:45] Sakuna
No dinner for you!
[17:46] Tauemon
B-But that's too cruel.
[17:49] Tama
It's all right. I ask
that you forgive him.
[17:55] Sakuna
Oh, fine. Have a seat.
[17:59] Tauemon
Thank you.
[18:02] Tama
I'm sorry.
[18:04] Tauemon
It's fine.
[18:06] Sakuna
I know.
[18:07] Sakuna
Why don't we go
pick mushrooms tomorrow?
[18:11] Myrthe
Mushrooms?
[18:12] Yui
B-But there are still
demons in the mountains.
[18:15] Sakuna
It shouldn't be a problem
if I'm with you.
[18:18] Sakuna
Now that it's spring, lots of new
mountain vegetables will have sprouted.
[18:22] Sakuna
Right, Tama?
[18:24] Tama
A fine idea.
[18:27] Sakuna
Really? You're coming, too.
[18:29] Sakuna
Got it?
[18:30] Yui
Kinta.
[18:31] Tama
Very well.
[18:32] Kinta
Don't say anything.
[18:43] Sakuna
Hey, Tama.
[18:44] Tama
What is it?
[18:46] Sakuna
Once we're done picking mushrooms,
we should chop some lumber, too.
[18:51] Sakuna
We'll need fresh water and fish as well.
[18:54] Sakuna
What do you think?
[18:56] Tama
A fine idea.
[18:59] Sakuna
Really?
[19:00] Tama
We're going out early tomorrow morning.
[19:04] Tama
You should rest.
[19:06] Sakuna
You're right.
[19:11] Sakuna
Good night.
[19:20] Tama
Good night, Your Highness.
[19:31] Tama
I'm sorry for asking you to do this.
[19:40] Tama
Let's begin.
[19:41] Kinta
Yeah.
[20:11] Sakuna
Another beautiful day.
[20:14] Sakuna
Tama, everyone. We're going out.
[20:21] Sakuna
Tama?
[20:23] Sakuna
Tama? Where are you?
[20:26] Sakuna
Is he down below? Are the others with him?
[20:42] Myrthe
Sakuna...
[20:47] Sakuna
Why? Why didn't you tell me?
[20:52] Kokorowa
It's what Tama— No, it's what
the Blade of Hoshidama wanted.
[20:57] Kokorowa
It was his final request.
[21:01] Sakuna
Tell me! Why did you do this?
[21:06] Sakuna
I'm a god!
[21:08] Sakuna
You think you can get away
with doing this without my permission?
[21:11] Sakuna
To my dear Tama?
[21:14] Sakuna
The one who raised me?
[21:16] Sakuna
Who was always by my side?
[21:20] Kinta
I didn't...
[21:23] Kinta
I didn't want to...
[21:31] Tama
Your Highness.
[21:32] Sakuna
Shut up!
[21:34] Tama
Your Highness.
[21:35] Sakuna
Shut up!
[21:41] Tama
Your Highness, this is no time to cry.
[21:46] Sakuna
Shut up.
[21:47] Tama
Stand up.
[21:51] (Flashback) Tama
Stand up, Your Highness.
[21:54] (Flashback) Sakuna
Shut up.
[21:55] (Flashback) Tama
Put your hands on the ground.
[22:00] (Flashback) Tama
You are the daughter of a war god
and a harvest goddess.
[22:09] Sakuna
Shut up.
[22:10] Sakuna
You're always, always, always...
[22:15] Sakuna
Always doing things to annoy me.
[22:18] Sakuna
Always saying things I don't want to hear.
[22:25] Sakuna
Tama... Tama...
