**[00:00] Tamura**
Dude, I was freaked out for
real. You just disappeared.
***SIGN*** Happy Graduation!
**[00:03] Ittoki**
I went totally offline to focus on test prep.
**[00:05] Boy 1**
Ya coulda mentioned you were
going to a school in Tokyo.
**[00:09] Ittoki**
Yeah, sorry.
**[00:10] Tamura**
Don't sweat it. We'll still see each other.
**[00:13] Tamura**
Let's hang out when you come back to visit!
**[00:16] Ittoki**
Yeah.
**[00:19] Tamura**
Huh?
**[00:21] Tamura**
Dude, no need to cry.
**[00:24] Ittoki**
I'm not...
***SIGN*** Happy Graduation!
**[01:58] Yumika**
Ittoki, study diligently that you
may become a fine village chief.

QUIRKS OF FATE
**[02:03] Kozo and Reiha**
Have a safe trip.
**[02:06] Ittoki**
I will.
**[02:08] Tokisada**
Forget anything?
**[02:09] Ittoki**
No. I think.
**[02:11] Tokisada**
'Kay. Shall we go, then?
**[02:14] Ittoki**
Yeah.
**[02:31] Ittoki**
I'm in Tokyo.
***SIGN*** Old Art Museum and Botanical Garden Station
**[02:35] Tokisada**
You'll take a train the rest of the way.
**[02:38] Ittoki**
What?
**[02:38] Ittoki**
A train? Where's the station?
**[02:41] Ittoki**
For real?
**[02:43] Tokisada**
Bon voyage!
**[02:48] Ittoki**
Is this really the right place?
**[03:02] Ittoki**
Have we just been in this
tunnel for three hours now?
**[03:05] Kousetsu**
Stop with the questions.
**[03:07] Ittoki**
But doesn't it make you nerv—
**[03:08] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[03:09] Ittoki**
What?!
**[03:21] Ittoki**
Wow.
**[03:24] Students**
Morning!
**[03:24] Students**
Oh my gosh! It's been so long!
**[03:37] Ryoko**
How do you do?
**[03:38] Ittoki**
Oh, uh... How do you do?
**[03:41] Ryoko**
We haven't met, have we?
**[03:43] Ittoki**
Th-That's right.
**[03:45] Ittoki**
I'm Ittoki Sakuraba.
**[03:46] Ryoko**
My name is Ryoko Suzunone.
A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
**[03:51] Ryoko**
And yours as well.
**[03:53] Female Student A**
Ryoko!
**[03:54] Female Student B**
I've missed you!
**[03:56] Female Student C**
How've you been?
**[03:58] Kousetsu**
Move your butt.
***SIGN*** Kokuten Ninja Academy Station
**[04:05] Ittoki**
Kousetsu, school life
might be pretty fun here!
**[04:10] Kousetsu**
Immature.
**[04:14] Ittoki**
Hey, Kousetsu,
**[04:15] Ittoki**
do you—
**[04:16] Ittoki**
Huh? Kousetsu? Kousetsu?
**[04:20] Ittoki**
Oh.
**[04:21] Ittoki**
I'm sorry.
**[04:22] Himura**
What?
**[04:27] Himura**
Hey... you're...
**[04:30] Kirei**
Hey! Hey, you! How've ya been?
**[04:33] Ittoki**
H-Huh?
**[04:33] Kirei**
Great from the looks of it.
That's awesome!
**[04:35] Ittoki**
Who're you?
**[04:36] Ittoki**
H-Hold on.
**[04:36] Kirei**
Oh, there's just heaps to catch
up on! Let's grab drinks and chat!
**[04:40] Suzaku**
Let's go.
**[04:43] Kirei**
Are you a transfer student?
**[04:44] Ittoki**
Yes.
**[04:45] Kirei**
I can't believe you did something
so clueless right off the bat.
**[04:50] Ittoki**
Did I do something?
**[04:51] Kirei**
Those guys weren't just Koga
ninjas, but elite ones to boot!
**[04:56] Kirei**
Careful. If you tick them
off, your school life's over.
**[05:00] Ittoki**
Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that.
**[05:03] Kirei**
I'm Kirei.
**[05:04] Ittoki**
"Kirei"... pretty? I mean,
I guess you are, but...
**[05:07] Kirei**
No, no, no! My *name* is Kirei.
**[05:10] Kirei**
Of course, I won't deny I'm pretty, too.
**[05:13] Ittoki**
Uh-huh... I'm Ittoki Sakuraba.
**[05:16] Kirei**
What's your village?
**[05:17] Ittoki**
Iga. Why?
**[05:18] Kirei**
Are you kidding? Iga? *The* Iga?!
**[05:21] Ittoki**
What do you mean?
**[05:21] Kirei**
I mean, *everyone*'s heard about
the Iga ninjas, even non-ninjas.
**[05:25] Kirei**
And sure, now you hear they're
poor, or fallen from glory,
**[05:29] Kirei**
or on the verge of collapse, but...
**[05:31] Ittoki**
That's not good.
**[05:32] Kirei**
My situation's not all that different,
so let's be friends, Ittoki.
**[05:37] Ittoki**
Okay.
**[05:41] Juzen**
Congratulations for reaching the next grade.
**[05:43] Juzen**
Uh, I've given this spiel hundreds of times,
**[05:47] Juzen**
but it's all I've got to say, so here we go.

Okay, clap!
**[06:01] Juzen**
Now then, students. Be sure to obey
the rules and enjoy your school life.
**[06:08] Kirei**
Ittoki, looks like we're classmates.
**[06:11] Ittoki**
Sure does.
**[06:12] Ittoki**
Oh, this is Kousetsu, also from Iga.
**[06:14] Kirei**
Huh? Oh!
**[06:16] Kirei**
Hey. Nice to meet ya!

**[06:34] Ittoki**
What is this.
**[06:35] Kirei**
It's nasty but filling. And nasty.
**[06:37] Ittoki**
Why this?
**[06:38] Kirei**
You might tick them off.
**[06:41] Kirei**
The Koga ninjas have both money and power.
**[06:43] Kirei**
Plus overwhelming numbers.
**[06:45] Kirei**
You can't beat them, so it's better
to actively avoid the Koga students.
**[06:50] Ittoki**
So we can't even have the food we want?
**[06:56] Himura**
Hey, you. What're ya lookin' at?
**[07:00] Kirei**
Gotta go. I think something urgent
is gonna come up. Sorry, Ittoki.
**[07:03] Himura**
You tryin' to pick a fight or something?
**[07:06] Ittoki**
Is there a problem?
**[07:07] Himura**
Don't play dumb, asshole!
**[07:09] Ittoki**
Did I... do something?
**[07:11] Himura**
You bastard! You think you can screw with—
**[07:13] Suzaku**
Himura.
**[07:15] Suzaku**
If you're a ninja, silence your heart.
**[07:19] Suzaku**
For the next Iga chief to act like this...
Do you really not know anything?
**[07:26] Suzaku**
The Koga chief, the great
Kishinmaru, passed away.
**[07:29] Suzaku**
You Iga ninjas killed him!
**[07:32] Ittoki**
What?
**[07:36] Suzaku**
Kishinmaru was a great man, said to be
the most talented ninja in Koga history.
**[07:42] Suzaku**
He was unsurpassed in ninjutsu, and
most importantly, a wonderful person.
**[07:47] Suzaku**
He considered ninjas as a whole,
**[07:48] Suzaku**
not just Koga, and was trying to
compromise with the other villages.
**[07:53] Suzaku**
Kishinmaru was a great man.
**[07:55] Suzaku**
He never should have died!
**[07:58] Suzaku**
Koga will not forgive Iga.
**[08:00] Suzaku**
Your destruction will be certain,
thorough, and complete.
**[08:05] Tokisada**
Why didn't you say anything to Ittoki?
**[08:08] Yumika**
I was simply planning to tell him
once the truth had become clear.
**[08:12] Tokisada**
It's going to lead to even more trouble.
**[08:15] Yumika**
I can't change that.
**[08:16] Tokisada**
We need to get a little
forceful to get anywhere.
**[08:19] Tokisada**
I'll do anything you
order, including torture.
**[08:22] Yumika**
No.
**[08:23] Yumika**
Our grudge lies not with the traitor,
**[08:25] Yumika**
but with the fiend who would use a
person's weakness to manipulate them.
**[08:30] Tokisada**
So then we're keeping to the status quo.
**[08:33] Yumika**
Let's get back to work. Right now
let's accomplish the tasks we can.
**[08:40] Ittoki**
This is the dorm?!
**[08:42] Ittoki**
Honestly, it's better than home!
**[08:44] Ryoko**
This isn't it.
**[08:45] Ittoki**
Huh?
**[08:49] Ittoki**
Is this a haunted house?
**[08:51] Kirei**
It's your dorm.
**[08:52] Ittoki**
It's unfit for human habitation.
**[08:54] Kirei**
Hey! I live here, too, you know.
**[08:57] Ittoki**
That what was that other building?
**[08:59] Kirei**
That was the Koga dorm.
**[09:01] Ittoki**
Koga again?
**[09:03] Kirei**
Boys on the second floor. Girls on the third.
**[09:06] Kirei**
Well, see ya tomorrow.
**[09:08] Ittoki**
Yeah. Um, thanks for all your help.
**[09:11] Kirei**
That reminds me. How did
things go in the cafeteria?
**[09:14] Kirei**
Was it bad?
**[09:15] Ittoki**
Don't worry. I'm fine.
**[09:16] Kirei**
Sorry for splitting on you! But next
time, you should split too! Seriously!
**[09:21] Ittoki**
Yeah, okay.
**[09:29] Ittoki**
The lock?
**[09:31] Ittoki**
You're not gonna knock?!
**[09:33] Kousetsu**
The Koga are just tossing accusations.
**[09:35] Kousetsu**
Huh?
**[09:36] Kousetsu**
Thinking about it is pointless,
as is listening to an enemy.
**[09:40] Ittoki**
You say that, but someone I know
might have killed somebody.
**[09:45] Kousetsu**
You can't afford to spend your time
and energy on pointless things.
**[09:49] Kousetsu**
Those are better spent on training.
**[09:55] Ittoki**
Hey... thanks.
**[09:58] Kousetsu**
"Thanks"? For what?
**[10:00] Ittoki**
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
**[10:06] Mitsuhashi**
We're combining your two classes
for today's exercise.
**[10:09] Mitsuhashi**
You'll be learning hands-on how to
use Ninja Suits and Ninja Cores.
**[10:13] Ittoki**
Ninja Suit? Ninja Core? What're those?
**[10:16] Kousetsu**
Everyone else knows.
**[10:17] Ittoki**
Okay, but *I* don't...
**[10:19] Mitsuhashi**
Each case here contains a
general-purpose suit and core.
**[10:23] Mitsuhashi**
The principles are as you
learned in middle school.
**[10:25] Mitsuhashi**
Once you finish calibrations,
activate your suit.
***SIGN*** Ninja Core

**[10:41] Ittoki**
Whoa!
**[10:43] Ittoki**
Like this? Is this right?
**[10:46] Ittoki**
Really?
**[10:53] Mitsuhashi**
This time, to get you used
to Ninja Suit performance,
**[10:56] Mitsuhashi**
we're having you go to the roof of the tower.
**[10:59] Ittoki**
Excuse me?
**[11:00] Mitsuhashi**
The principal is relaxing up
there with a supply of manju.
**[11:04] Mitsuhashi**
As proof you reached the
roof, bring back a manju.
**[11:07] Mitsuhashi**
However, the principal is a huge manju lover.
**[11:11] Mitsuhashi**
As long as his appetite lasts, he'll keep
snacking on the supply. Keep that in mind.
**[11:16] Ittoki**
Seriously?
**[11:18] Mitsuhashi**
This is your first practical drill.
**[11:20] Mitsuhashi**
Make good use of what you
learned in middle school.
**[11:22] Mitsuhashi**
Use what you learned in middle school
and show you're worthy to be a ninja!
**[11:25] Mitsuhashi**
Ready...
**[11:27] Mitsuhashi**
Begin!
**[11:33] Ittoki**
Kousetsu, I can't move... Why?
**[11:38] Kousetsu**
Insufficient studying.
**[11:39] Ittoki**
H-Help...
**[11:41] Ittoki**
Hey!
**[11:44] Koga Student**
The next Iga chief can't
even use a Ninja Suit right!
**[11:48] Himura**
Here's an idea.
**[11:50] Himura**
If he's that garbage, couldn't we kill
him and make it look like an accident?
**[11:54] Suzaku**
The principal is watching. Be smart.
**[11:57] Suzaku**
There's also...
**[12:03] Mitsuhashi**
Come on, Ittoki Sakuraba.
**[12:05] Mitsuhashi**
If you can't even do this, you could be
immediately expelled for lack of aptitude!
**[12:11] Ittoki**
I can't have that happen!
**[12:13] Mitsuhashi**
Then get in the game!
**[12:15] Mitsuhashi**
You, too! Get it together!
**[12:16] Ittoki**
Shit! I can't let this...
**[12:18] Ryoko**
Excuse me.
**[12:20] Ittoki**
Oh, Ryoko.
**[12:22] Ryoko**
I'll take a look, if you don't mind.
**[12:25] Ittoki**
Huh? What?!
**[12:26] Ryoko**
Oh my. This is some nice
stuff you're working with.
**[12:29] Ittoki**
Ah, ooh, wait...
**[12:32] Ittoki**
Stop. Ah!
**[12:34] Ittoki**
Ah! Stop!
**[12:34] Ryoko**
Correctly sizing a Ninja Suit
can be a delicate issue.
**[12:37] Ryoko**
It's not necessary with custom Suits,
**[12:39] Ryoko**
but with these school ones, you
have to do some adjusting yourself.
**[12:43] Ryoko**
Still, a difference of a just few
millimeters can affect power transmission,
**[12:46] Ryoko**
and sometimes it can work
against you so you can't move.
**[12:50] Ittoki**
Uh, um...
**[12:50] Ryoko**
Even so, I think general-purpose
Cores have a charm of their own.
**[12:55] Ryoko**
Since anyone can use them, anyone
can obtain the power of a ninja!
**[12:59] Ryoko**
This technology could be used to make
powered suits for regular people!
**[13:03] Ryoko**
The technology would truly help society!
**[13:07] Ryoko**
But ninjas have to stay in the shadows.
**[13:08] Ryoko**
How I wish I could bring this
tech into the light of day!
**[13:13] Ryoko**
Oh, pardon me! I let myself get carried away.
**[13:17] Ittoki**
It's fine...
**[13:18] Ryoko**
Okay, time to get moving.
**[13:23] Ittoki**
This is cool!
**[13:29] Ittoki**
Ahhhh!
**[13:31] Ittoki**
I'm gonna die!
**[13:36] Ittoki**
Ow.
**[13:38] Ittoki**
Huh? I'm okay...
**[13:41] Ryoko**
Isn't it wonderful?
**[13:42] Ryoko**
This is the power of Ninja Suits and Cores.
**[13:46] Ittoki**
A Ninja Suit and Core...
**[13:48] Ryoko**
Ninja Cores are a ninja device.
**[13:51] Ryoko**
They power ninja tools and suits.
**[13:53] Ryoko**
Truly you could call them the
"core" of modern ninja practices.
**[13:56] Ryoko**
But if your Core gets damaged,
your Suit will lose power,
**[14:00] Ryoko**
so be careful never to break it!
**[14:03] Ittoki**
Thanks for teaching me all that.
**[14:06] Ryoko**
It's no problem.
**[14:07] Ryoko**
Um, you see, I'm from the Saiga village.
**[14:10] Ittoki**
Saiga?
**[14:11] Ryoko**
Over the generations,
**[14:13] Ryoko**
the village has been a producer of
ninja tools, including Suits and Cores.
**[14:17] Ryoko**
So, um, you see...
**[14:19] Ryoko**
I just... love ninja tools.
**[14:24] Ittoki**
I see...
**[14:25] Ryoko**
It's rare to find a shinobi who knows
nothing about ninja tools, so I just...
**[14:30] Ryoko**
Oh, I forgot to mention!
**[14:31] Ryoko**
Each village's Ninja Suits and Cores
have their own characteristics—
**[14:34] Ittoki**
Uh, could we continue this after class?
**[14:37] Ryoko**
Oh, of course! Sorry!
**[14:59] Juzen**
Congratulations. You're the first one.
**[15:05] Suzaku**
You think your skill is enough
to protect your chief?
**[15:20] Kirei**
That was a lot!
**[15:21] Juzen**
Nice work. Want some tea?
**[15:23] Kirei**
Oh, yes, please!
**[15:27] Ryoko**
You're expending excess
effort. Trust the Suit more!
**[15:31] Ittoki**
I'm slowly... getting the hang of this.
**[15:43] Ittoki**
Kousetsu?
**[15:45] Ryoko**
How lovely. They're bringing out
100% of the Suits' capabilities!
**[15:48] Ittoki**
What?
**[15:53] Kirei**
Oh, hey. How can I help you?
**[15:56] Himura**
Hand over your manju.
**[15:57] Kirei**
What?
**[15:59] Himura**
There's no rule saying we can't steal them.
**[16:02] Ryoko**
We reached the second island!
**[16:05] Ittoki**
We're only halfway? It's so far!
**[16:10] Ittoki**
Ryoko, could you go ahead without me?
**[16:14] Ryoko**
Sure...
**[16:19] Ittoki**
Kirei?!
**[16:24] Kirei**
Oh, Ittoki.
**[16:26] Ittoki**
Who did this to you?
**[16:28] Kirei**
This really ferocious cat. It was hissing.
**[16:35] Kirei**
Just kidding. Some of the Koga
elites. They broke my Core, too.
**[16:40] Ittoki**
Let's report them to the teacher.
**[16:42] Kirei**
No. You heard the principal.
If you're not found out, you're okay.
**[16:46] Kirei**
I just wasn't paying enough attention.
**[16:50] Ittoki**
None of this is right!
**[16:58] Koga Student 1**
Hand over your manju.
**[17:01] Himura**
Oh, you're gonna pick a fight with Koga?
**[17:04] Ittoki**
Stop!
**[17:07] Himura**
What's this?
**[17:09] Himura**
I'm amazed you even got here, future chief.
**[17:12] Ittoki**
Return what you took.
**[17:14] Himura**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[17:21] Ittoki**
Damn it!
**[17:23] Himura**
What are you? A boar?
**[17:24] Koga Student 1**
Hey, this is self-defense, right?
**[17:26] Koga Student 2**
He started the fight.
**[17:28] Himura**
So, shall we say he got
carried away, to fatal results?
**[17:35] Ryoko**
I made it.
**[17:36] Juzen**
Nice work.
**[17:43] Himura**
Hurts, doesn't it? Getting
kicked with a Ninja Suit.
**[17:48] Himura**
Hey, be careful, man.
**[17:54] Himura**
You bastard...
**[17:59] (Flashback) Ryoko**
But if your Core gets damaged,
your Suit will lose power,
**[18:03] (Flashback) Ryoko**
so be careful never to break it!
**[18:08] Himura**
Why you!
**[18:11] Himura**
Give up already!
**[18:20] Himura**
That's it. Die.
**[18:23] Juzen**
That's enough.
**[18:27] Himura**
He attacked first.
**[18:31] Juzen**
Well, I'll have to punish both sides, then.
**[18:39] Juzen**
Wanna go to the infirmary?
**[18:43] Ittoki**
I'm... okay.
**[18:45] Juzen**
All right.
**[18:46] Juzen**
The manju will all be eaten
soon, so don't take too long!
**[18:57] Ittoki**
Here.
**[18:58] Kirei**
Huh?
**[19:00] Kirei**
I can't take this.
**[19:02] Ittoki**
It's not mine.
**[19:05] Himura**
Huh? Whe—
**[19:07] Mitsuhashi**
If you don't have it,
you'll have to start over.
**[19:10] Himura**
What?
**[19:10] Himura**
Hey, you two! You didn't—
**[19:16] Ryoko**
That little...
**[19:18] Himura**
You piece of shit!
**[19:24] Suzaku**
Your disgraceful display is over.
**[19:28] Kirei**
That was a dangerous thing to do.
**[19:31] Ittoki**
If you're not found out, you're okay, right?
**[19:36] Kirei**
This is far enough.
**[19:37] Ittoki**
What? But...
**[19:38] Kirei**
You haven't finished the
assignment yet, right?
**[19:41] Ryoko**
Ittoki?
**[19:42] Ryoko**
Are you okay?
**[19:43] Ittoki**
Ryoko.
**[19:44] Ittoki**
Did you finish?
**[19:45] Ryoko**
Yes. Now I just have to get back.
**[19:49] Ittoki**
That's great.
**[19:50] Ittoki**
Um... could you help Kirei for me?
**[19:53] Ittoki**
She's injured.
**[19:55] Ryoko**
Of course.
**[19:57] Ryoko**
You can go back and finish.
**[19:59] Ittoki**
Thanks.
**[20:03] Ryoko**
It was Kirei, right?
**[20:06] Kirei**
Ryoko, right? Thanks.
**[20:08] Ryoko**
Ittoki is wonderful, isn't he?
**[20:11] Kirei**
Isn't it a little embarrassing
to phrase it that way?
**[20:17] Juzen**
Oh, nice work.
**[20:20] Ittoki**
Thank goodness!
**[20:21] Juzen**
The character for "shinobi" is
written with "blade" above "heart".
**[20:26] Juzen**
You can't be a shinobi with just
a blade, much less just a heart.
**[20:42] Ittoki**
So...
**[20:44] Ittoki**
People are avoiding me. Yup.
**[20:47] Koga Student 1**
Poor guy. He just transferred
and already he's all alone.

You've got nobody on your side, future chief.
**[20:59] Ittoki**
Kousetsu.
**[21:00] Kousetsu**
You don't need to go to extra trouble.
**[21:03] Ittoki**
True. I can get what I want.

What about you?
**[21:15] Kousetsu**
I like it.
**[21:16] Ittoki**
Liar!
**[21:17] Ryoko**
Mind if I join you?
**[21:19] Ittoki**
Be my guest.
**[21:21] Ryoko**
We never finished our
discussion of ninja tools.
**[21:24] Kirei**
Hey. I see we think alike.
**[21:31] Ittoki; Kousetsu; Ryoko; and Kirei**
I'm grateful for my food!
**[23:05] Tokisada**
Hey. Still alive?
**[23:06] Tsune**
Sure am. Your usual, right?
**[23:09] Tsune**
Have some candy. No charge.
**[23:12] Tsune**
You don't usually seem so motivated.

Crafters pour their feelings into objects.
**[23:29] Kousetsu**
Often, no one will ever know what they felt.
**[23:32] Kousetsu**
But they do it anyway.
