[00:15] Ittoki
    You're ignoring my orders?
[00:22] Ittoki
    Listen to me! Go back!
[00:24] Tokisada
    I cut ties with Iga.
[00:27] Tokisada
    You aren't my chief. Who cares about your orders?
[00:30] Ittoki
    I need you to listen to me!
[00:32] Tokisada
    What a pain...
[00:34] Kousetsu
    Still so childish.
[00:37] Kousetsu
    I won't obey your orders.
[00:43] (Flashback) Ittoki
    Kousetsu, do you still want to die?
[00:48] (Flashback) Ittoki
    Mom said something to me once.
[00:51] (Flashback) Ittoki
    She told me her greatest joy comes from
    seeing what her kids do with their lives.
[00:59] (Flashback) Ittoki
    I'm sure she's watching to see
    what you do with yours, Kousetsu.
[01:03] (Flashback) Ittoki
    Could that be reason enough for you to live?
[01:10] (Flashback) Ittoki
    Take care of things here.
[01:15] (Flashback) Tokisada
    Koga is going to attack.
[01:18] (Flashback) Tokisada
    Make sure the Iga ninjas successfully escape.
[01:20] (Flashback) Tokisada
    Those are the chief's orders.
[01:23] (Flashback) Tokisada
    The plan is for the chief to charge into
    Koga headquarters alone while that happens.
[01:29] (Flashback) Tokisada
    You can break the chip
    in your head with this.
[01:31] (Flashback) Tokisada
    The only thing is, you might break first.
[01:36] (Flashback) Tokisada
    I want to help Ittoki.
[01:50] Kousetsu
    I'm here because this is what I want to do.
[01:57] Kousetsu
    Thank you.

SIGN    Ittoki the Ninja
[03:52] Enbi
    At the stroke of midnight, we'll
    begin the second assault on Iga.
[03:56] Enbi
    We'll settle the battle for
    certain within 30 minutes.
[04:05] Receptionist 2
    Senpai, does this late-night reception work
    not violate the Labor Standards Act?
[04:12] Receptionist 1
    That sort of thing flies in Koga.
[04:23] Receptionist 1
    Might I ask what your business is here today?
[04:30] Ittoki
    I'd like to meet with Koga's chief.
[04:35] Enbi
    Get me the security feed!
[04:38] Enbi
    Ridiculous!
[04:39] Enbi
    What the hell do they think
    they can do with just three people?
[04:42] Koga Higher-up E
    But Tokisada is among them!
[04:44] Kidou
    Is that supposed to be a problem?
[04:48] Enbi
    Activate all the Asuras in the building!
    Recall the deployed units as well!
[04:57] Koga Ninja 1
    It's no use. We can't reach
    headquarters through Iga's jamming.
[05:00] Commander
    So they caught wind of our movements.
[05:03] Commander
    No matter! Begin the second
    assault on Iga as planned.
[05:09] Kozo
    Stay alive and protect Iga.
[05:12] Iga Ninjas
    Yes, sir!
[05:23] Ryoko
    This'll stall them for at least two minutes.
[05:25] Ittoki
    Ryoko!
[05:27] Ittoki
    Kirei?!
[05:28] Kirei
    H-Heya!
[05:31] Ryoko
    It looks like there are no
    issues with what I sent.
[05:34] Ittoki
    What are you two doing here?
[05:36] Ryoko
    I came to take back what was taken from me.
[05:38] Kirei
    I'm her escort!
[05:41] Ryoko
    Kirei, don't you have something to say?
[05:44] Kirei
    Oh, uh...
[05:46] Kirei
    I changed my look! Whaddya think?
[05:49] Ryoko
    Kirei.
[05:56] Kirei
    I'm so sorry!
[05:59] Kirei
    I was deceiving you the whole time.
[06:03] Kirei
    I was... passing intel to Koga.
[06:07] Kirei
    So I came to make amends.
[06:11] Kirei
    Because I want to stay friends with you!
[06:17] Kirei
    That's all!
[06:26] Ryoko
    You three go on ahead!
[06:28] Kirei
    Leave this to us! We'll handle things here!
[06:31] Tokisada
    Don't be reckless
[06:33] Kousetsu
    Be careful.
[06:38] Ittoki
    Thanks.
[06:54] Ittoki
    I only came here to talk.
[06:57] Ittoki
    I don't want to fight you if I can help it.
[06:58] Koga Higher-up G
    It's a little late for that!
[07:05] Ittoki
    Stay back.
[07:27] Koga Higher-up F
    Now!
[07:30] Ittoki
    Uncle!
[07:31] Tokisada
    Kousetsu!
[07:35] Ittoki
    Kousetsu.
[07:38] Tokisada
    Go.
[07:47] Tokisada
    Give it your best shot.
[08:02] Kirei
    Ryoko, another immobilizing thingy!
[08:04] Ryoko
    We used them all!
[08:05] Kirei
    That's a nasty little joke you just told.
[08:08] Ryoko
    It's the truth.
[08:09] Kirei
    Then we'll just have to take 'em out!
[08:12] Ryoko
    Right. Let's give it all we've got!
[08:19] Himura
    Ugh. What is this bullshit?
[08:22] Enbi
    We'll end this quickly and go crush Iga.
[08:25] Kousetsu
    I'll take care of them.
[08:27] Kousetsu
    Kousetsu.
[08:29] Himura
    You! Why?
[08:47] Ittoki
    Let's go.
[08:53] Suzaku
    I have something I want to ask you two.
[08:55] Himura
    Bastard...
[08:56] Enbi
    So you're here to get revenge for Housen.
[08:58] Himura
    You're a traitor!
[08:59] Suzaku
    If I didn't come here to do this,
     I'd be betraying myself.
[09:21] Kidou
    So that's the secret Ninja Core?
[09:24] Ittoki
    It's what Iga's chiefs protected
    at the cost of their lives.
[09:28] Ittoki
    And what you were willing to
    destroy everything to get.
[09:32] Ittoki
    I offer it on these conditions:
[09:34] Ittoki
    that you make no moves
    against other villages;
[09:37] Ittoki
    that you destroy all your mechanical ninjas;
[09:40] Ittoki
    that you admit to all your crimes;
[09:43] Ittoki
    and finally, that you give up being a ninja.
[09:47] Ittoki
    Swear these things.
[09:49] Kidou
    I refuse.
[09:50] Kidou
    The fact that your blade isn't pointed at
    me means that you have no intent to kill.
[09:56] Kidou
    Or more accurately, you lack
    the mettle to kill someone.
[10:01] Kidou
    Countless Koga ninjas will be returning
     here after crushing Iga village.
[10:09] Kidou
    All I have to do is wait.
[10:12] Kidou
    Your little act of rebellion is finished.
[10:18] Ittoki
    I want to confirm something.
[10:21] Ittoki
    Why are you trying to destroy
    every village and all ninjas?
[10:26] Ittoki
    Why...
[10:28] Ittoki
    did my mother have to die?
[10:33] Ittoki
    You didn't want to become a ninja.
[10:36] Ittoki
    But you had no choice but to be one.
[10:38] Ittoki
    So you didn't want there to be
    any more people like you, right?
[10:44] Ittoki
    So that no one else would have to suffer.
[10:49] Ittoki
    Being born to a ninja family means
     you have your life decided for you,
[10:53] Ittoki
    you endure pain, and you have
     dirty work forced on you.
[10:57] Ittoki
    Could it be that a desire to change that
[10:59] Ittoki
    is what led you to try to
    make yourself the last ninja?
[11:03] Ittoki
    Could it be that you're a
    kind person, deep down?
[11:07] Ittoki
    If that's the real reason you hate ninjas,
[11:13] Ittoki
    then I'll forgive you.
[11:17] Himura
    Dammit!
[11:18] Suzaku
    Answer me. What do you two
    think of Koga's current state?
[11:23] Suzaku
    Say you use the Asuras to kill every ninja.
    What lies at the end of that path?
[11:27] Enbi
    The powerful will stand on
    top, and the weak will die.
[11:31] Enbi
    We'll just repeat that.
[11:33] Enbi
    Your old man died because he spouted
    soft crap like, "What about the future?"
[11:39] Suzaku
    I see.
[11:41] Himura
    Bastard. What will opposing
    the chief get you?
[11:45] Himura
    You planning to take his place or something?
[11:48] Suzaku
    I am.
[11:49] Himura
    Wh—
[11:50] Himura
    Enough with your bullshit!
[11:53] Himura
    I'll absolutely never follow you!
[12:00] Suzaku
    Kidou Minobe doesn't have a heart.
[12:04] Suzaku
    So I'm going to remake Koga!
[12:14] Kidou
    You must have been born blessed
    and grown up being loved.
[12:20] Kidou
    You're banking on a conscience
    that I do not possess.
[12:27] Kidou
    But then, neither do you.
[12:32] Kidou
    The reason I killed your mother
    was just that she was in the way.
[12:37] Kidou
    And the reason I want to crush Iga,
    destroy every village, and kill all ninjas,
[12:43] Kidou
    is just that they're an eyesore.
[12:46] Kidou
    You're seeking closure for your
    beloved mother's death, aren't you?
[12:51] Kidou
    You want to believe there was some grand
    reason for why your lives were ruined.
[12:57] Kidou
    However, the reality is
[12:59] Kidou
    that my reason for killing her was trivial.
     I squashed her like I would a bug.
[13:05] Kidou
    It's nothing more than that.
[13:07] Kidou
    Are you still able to forgive me,
[13:10] Kidou
    Ittoki Sakuraba?
[13:13] Kidou
    We're all demons just below the surface.
[13:17] Kidou
    If you want to avenge your
    mother, now is your only chance.
[13:21] Kidou
    Draw your blade, coward! Kill me!
[13:31] Kousetsu
    Ittoki.
[13:35] Ittoki
    You're right.
[13:37] Ittoki
    We'll be going now.
[13:40] Kidou
    So you'll play the angel until you die.
[13:45] Ittoki
    I have nothing more to discuss with you.
[13:49] NSC 1
    Video and audio recorded. We have everything.
[13:52] NSC 1
    We can go any time.
[13:56] (Flashback) Ittoki
    I'll get testimony from Koga's chief
[13:58] (Flashback) Ittoki
    that he ordered the aggressions
    against the villages.
[14:01] (Flashback) Shione Kouzuki
    Testimony?! But how?
[14:03] (Flashback) Shione Kouzuki
    Don't tell me you plan to enter Koga.
[14:08] (Flashback) Shione Kouzuki
    You get the evidence.
    In exchange, I look the other way.
[14:11] (Flashback) Shione Kouzuki
    Is that it?
[14:13] (Flashback) Ittoki
    I am making this request of you on
    Tokisada's counsel, Captain Kouzuki.
[14:20] Shione Kouzuki
    Sir, permission to go in.
[14:25] Juzen
    Granted.
[14:27] Shione Kouzuki
    All agents, move in!
[14:30] Shione Kouzuki
    Prioritize rescuing the wounded!
[14:32] Shione Kouzuki
    Secure a route to the top floor!
[14:38] Ittoki
    The rest is the NSC's job.
[14:41] Ittoki
    Surrender quietly and accept your punishment.
[14:44] Kidou
    As if a mere child...
[14:48] Kidou
    Fine, then.
[14:57] Ittoki
    Kousetsu!
[14:58] Kidou
    Why?
[15:01] Kidou
    Why do you resist?
[15:13] Kidou
    You have no chance of winning.
[15:14] Kidou
    You had to know you would perish eventually.
[15:18] Kidou
    So don't fight it.
[15:20] Ittoki
    Don't make light of me.
[15:24] Ittoki
    What reason could I possibly have
[15:27] Ittoki
    to give up on what I hold dear?
[15:40] Kidou
    You invent ridiculous ideals and
    persist with your revolting angel act.
[15:46] Kidou
    Bound by fantasy, you'll die
    having accomplished nothing.
[15:50] Kidou
    Your actions
[15:52] Kidou
    are pointless! Worthless!
[15:56] Ittoki
    You're wrong.
[15:58] Ittoki
    Protecting what's dear comes from
     the will to preserve things.
[16:04] Ittoki
    Risking your life to keep something going
[16:08] Ittoki
    is what it means to live!
[16:15] Kidou
    Don't latch onto me, you insect!
[16:58] Tokisada
    The NSC will be here soon.
    Can you hold out until then?
[17:02] Suzaku
    I'll... take care of Kidou....
[17:06] Tokisada
    Okay.
[17:09] Suzaku
    Dammit.
[17:13] Kidou
    Do you think I feel guilty?
[17:19] Kidou
    You were born blessed.
[17:22] Kidou
    I was born defective.
[17:27] Kidou
    You're so merciful, you can't even
    kill your parent's killer.
[17:32] Kidou
    I'm so merciless, I would even kill an infant.
[17:38] Kidou
    We turned out the way we had to.
[17:42] Kidou
    I have not a single thing to repent.
[17:46] Kidou
    I am who I am.
[17:50] Ittoki
    All just excuses.
[17:53] Ittoki
    You talk like you're the victim, like you
    couldn't help it, like you're blameless.
[18:00] Ittoki
    You know that's not true.
[18:02] Ittoki
    You just ran away from
    the unfairness of it all.
[18:06] Ittoki
    Everyone struggles with unfairness
    from the moment they're born.
[18:10] Ittoki
    It never stops.
[18:13] Ittoki
    Because the world isn't fair.
[18:16] Ittoki
    But you have to tough it out.
[18:18] Ittoki
    You have to grit your teeth and bear it.
[18:21] Ittoki
    No matter how much it hurts...
[18:24] Ittoki
    You have to live despite it!
[18:30] Ittoki
    Are you okay, Kousetsu?
[18:33] Kousetsu
    Yeah. I'll manage.
[18:35] Kidou
    How very
[18:37] Kidou
    kind you are.
[18:55] Tokisada
    I did this completely on my own! Got that?
[19:01] Ittoki
    Uncle, don't!
[19:04] Tokisada
    This is my job.
[19:08] Tokisada
    It doesn't have to be your burden to bear.
[19:11] Tokisada
    You don't need a babysitter anymore, right?
[19:15] Tokisada
    Oh... Kousetsu...
[19:18] Tokisada
    Smile now and then.
[19:23] Tokisada
    Welp, see ya.
[19:26] Shione Kouzuki
    Requesting medical unit ASAP.
[19:28] Shione Kouzuki
    And... this is a message for all NSC agents.
[19:31] Shione Kouzuki
    On suspicion of attacking Koga
    and killing Koga's chief,
[19:35] Shione Kouzuki
    Tokisada Kaga is a wanted fugitive!
[19:39] Shione Kouzuki
    I swear,
[19:41] Shione Kouzuki
    I won't let you get away!
[19:48] Ittoki
    Ready to go?
[19:51] Kousetsu
    Yeah.
[19:53] Ittoki
    What'll you do now?
[19:56] Kousetsu
    It doesn't matter.
[19:58] Ittoki
    What do you mean?
[20:03] Kousetsu
    I can do... anything.
[20:07] Ittoki
    I see.
SIGN    Several Years Later
[21:44] Kozo
    Thankfully, we're maintaining a
    functional relationship with Koga.
[21:49] Shione Kouzuki
    That's good to hear.
[21:50] Kozo
    As for Tokisada, it's been nothing
    but radio silence from him.
[21:54] Shione Kouzuki
    You guessed why I'm here.
[21:56] Kozo
    You know, I think he's not running, but
     protecting us from the shadows.
[22:03] Shione Kouzuki
    In a certain sense, that's
    very like a shinobi.
[22:06] Kozo
    Are you still going to punish him?
[22:09] Shione Kouzuki
    I'm just going to do my job.
[22:13] Gantetsu
    Hey, Ryoko!
[22:15] Gantetsu
    When you get a chance, can you
    give my prosthetic a once-over?
[22:19] Ryoko
    Sure thing!

    Well...
[22:29] Kirei
    I'm a liar, you see.
[22:31] Iboro
    That's your reason?
