[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?
[21:33] Sakuna
    Kokorowa.
[21:35] Kokorowa
    Sakuna.
[21:39] Sakuna
    What's this?
[21:40] Sakuna
    It's Oboro Zoushi!
SIGN    Oboro Zoushi
     Koushi Oborozuki
[21:43] Sakuna
    Hey, wait. What are you doing?
[21:46] Sakuna
    I'm a goddess!
[21:47] Sakuna
    Show some respect!
[21:49] Sakuna
    Hey, let go!
[21:50] Kokorowa
    Please look after Sakuna.
[21:52] Tama
    I shall protect her with my life. Farewell.
[21:58] Kokorowa
    I'll miss her, but...
[22:09] Sakuna
    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...
[22:32] Tama
    It's waiting for us.
[22:34] Tama
    That island you're deeply connected to.
