[00:11] Sakuna
    Hup.
[00:15] Kokorowa
    So this is rice planting?
[00:17] Tama
    Indeed it is.
[00:19] Tama
    The seedlings we grow are
    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!
