[00:02] Ishimaru     The more I look at your face,     the more hate I feel. [00:08] Ishimaru     It makes me want to kill you all over again. [00:12] Sakuna     When did he get here? [00:16] Tauemon     Will you allow me to handle this? [00:22] Tauemon     It's been a while. [00:25] Ishimaru     I'll admit I'm impressed     you've lived this long. [00:29] Ishimaru     It sounds like you were     growing some good rice, too. [00:33] Tauemon     You understand, don't you? [00:35] Tauemon     Eating is the most     important factor of survival. [00:38] Tauemon     If you want some of our rice, then— [00:44] Ishimaru     Don't get the wrong idea. [00:46] Ishimaru     "A samurai uses a toothpick even      when he's got nothing to eat." [00:49] Ishimaru     I won't suck up to someone just for food. [00:54] Tauemon     But... but you're not a samurai! SIGN    Episode 11          Light of Forgiveness [02:33] Man A     Where did they go? [02:34] (Flashback) Man B     Find them! Kill all the bandits! [02:39] (Flashback) Ishimaru     Damn. I'll kill them first. [02:42] (Flashback) Tauemon     Don't. [02:43] (Flashback) Ishimaru     You're too soft! [02:45] (Flashback) Ishimaru     It's kill or be killed. [02:46] (Flashback) Ishimaru     For us to live, we have to kill them! [02:48] (Flashback) Tauemon     Isn't it important to flee sometimes     because our world works that way? [02:54] (Flashback) Tauemon     In order to live... [02:58] (Flashback) Tauemon     At times it seems to me like     you're in a hurry to die. [03:05] (Flashback) Tauemon     What did you do before becoming a bandit? [03:11] (Flashback) Tauemon     A farmer? [03:12] (Flashback) Tauemon     No, based on your appearance,     perhaps a fisherman. [03:17] (Flashback) Tauemon     Perhaps a carpenter. [03:18] (Flashback) Tauemon     No, a stonemason. [03:20] (Flashback) Ishimaru     Shut up! I hate you samurai! [03:24] (Flashback) Ishimaru     Because you won't stop fighting,     our world has turned into this hell! [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? [03:47] (Flashback) Tauemon     Perhaps that would be acceptable. [03:49] (Flashback) Tauemon     I've thought countless times     that I should die. [03:54] (Flashback) Tauemon     But for some reason, I want to live. [03:56] (Flashback) Tauemon     If I'm to die, [03:58] (Flashback) Tauemon     I'd like to die thinking     I was glad to live. [04:06] Tauemon     Aren't you the same? [04:09] Tauemon     Aren't you living to find     a reason to be glad you're alive? [04:21] Ishimaru     No. No, I'm not. [04:24] Ishimaru     It's not like that at all. [04:27] Ishimaru     Guys like you disgust me! [04:56] Ishimaru     Do it. [04:57] Tauemon     Ishimaru. [04:59] Ishimaru     Let's go back to being     who we're supposed to be. [05:02] Ishimaru     You're a samurai,     and I'm just a peasant. [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     Kaimaru! [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     Carrying a hatred and despair     that never goes away, [06:12] Ishimaru     you'll starve, sleep,     and be unable to die, [06:15] Ishimaru     living only motivated by hatred! [06:23] Tama     What's this? [06:29] Ishimaru     Stop! [06:31] Ishimaru     Stop! Stop talking! [06:32] Ishimaru     Stop talking to me! [06:38] Sakuna     What is this light? [06:44] Tama     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.

[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! [22:33] Tama     Your Highness... SIGN    Episode 12           The Blade of Hoshitama
