[00:04] Shione Kouzuki
    Excuse me.
[00:06] Shione Kouzuki
    You'll have to return that.
[01:58] Shiota
    Don't tell me these are...
[01:59] Kozo
    The enemy are Koga ninjas and, according
    to reports, mechanical ninjas.
[02:05] Ittoki
    You mean they're robots?!
[02:06] Ryoko
    I've never heard of such a thing.
[02:09] Reiha
    Their units are composed of one Koga
    ninja and several mechanical ninjas.
[02:14] Reiha
    There are a total of 48 Iga
    ninjas on the front lines.
[02:17] Reiha
    Koga's forces number 250
    just in front-line units.
[02:22] Kozo
    On top of that, they have nearly
    the same number in rear units.
[02:26] Kozo
    This is a rough estimate, but they appear
    to have a 10-fold advantage in numbers.
[02:30] Kirei
    Wouldn't it be better to run away?
[02:38] Tokisada
    Take Yumika and escape.
[02:40] Yumika
    Take care of this.
[02:44] Karajishi
    Don't let them get away!
[02:48] Tokisada
    This is a pain. Come at me all at once.
[02:50] Karajishi
    Attention all units:
[02:52] Karajishi
    Neutralize Tokisada Koga.
    Live capture not required!
[03:08] Yokogawa
    Are you all right?
[03:11] Chikamatsu
    Yes... You know, these guys
    aren't so tough one-on-one.
[03:15] Chikamatsu
    There are just too many. It's endless.
[03:18] Ittoki
    What is everyone's status?
[03:19] Reiha
    They're repelling the attacks.
[03:21] Reiha
    But no matter how many they defeat, the
    machines are immediately replenished.
[03:26] Reiha
    The more time passes, the greater our
    disadvantage with our inferior numbers.
[03:29] Kirei
    Doesn't that sound like game over?
[03:32] Kozo
    We have a chance once Tokisada returns.
    We'll have to hold out until then.
[03:40] Ittoki
    Could we have everyone hole
    up here until Uncle returns?
[03:44] Reiha
    The enemy's numbers are too great.
[03:46] Reiha
    I'm not sure the estate's defense
    systems could hold out...
[03:49] Kozo
    No, it's too risky to concentrate
    our forces in one place.
[03:53] Kozo
    We'll have to go on like this.
[03:58] Ryoko
    Did you notice something?
SIGN    Remaining Battery
SIGN    Mid-sortie
SIGN    Returning On Standby
[04:00] Ittoki
    Why are they being so cautious?
[04:04] Ittoki
    They greatly outnumber us, so they
    could just attack all at once.
[04:08] Kirei
    A bunch of them got blown up when they tried
    to force a charge through the tollbooth.
[04:12] Kirei
    Maybe they rethought things?
[04:13] Ittoki
    Even after that, Koga's
    numbers are overwhelming.
[04:17] Ittoki
    They shouldn't have any
    reason to be so cautious.
[04:19] Ryoko
    Um, can you tell what proportion of Koga's
    force is made up of mechanical ninjas?
[04:24] Kozo
    It's been reported that each unit
    comprises one Koga ninja and four machines.
[04:30] Kozo
    As for the composition of
    the rear units, I can't say.
[04:33] Ittoki
    So the vast majority are mechanical ninjas.
[04:36] Ryoko
    That may have some bearing on
    the strategy Koga has taken.
[04:40] Ittoki
    True.
[04:41] Ittoki
    Could we have everyone report anything
    they've noticed about the machines?
[04:45] Ittoki
    Even the smallest detail might be helpful.
[04:48] Ryoko
    If possible, I'd like to have a
    mechanical ninja brought here.
[04:52] Koga Ninjas
    Currently, 29% of the Asura units have
    been destroyed. Zero human casualties.
[04:58] Koga Ninjas
    Most likely, we can suppress
    Iga within one hour.
[05:01] Enbi
    Hurry up and die, Iga bastards!
[05:05] Tsune
    Sorry for the wait.
[05:07] Ittoki
    Thank you very much.
[05:11] Reiha
    Two ninjas wounded in the Sparrow Unit!
[05:12] Kozo
    Ms. Tsune, please go support them.
[05:14] Tsune
    You got it.
[05:16] Reiha
    Wounded in the Shrike and
    Woodpecker Units as well!
[05:18] Reiha
    Medical units, go render aid!
[05:35] Shiota
    Ms. Tsune!
[05:37] Tsune
    You didn't quite manage to die, eh? Come on.
[05:41] Shiota
    It was sloppy of me.
[05:45] Ryoko
    As inelegant as I thought.
[05:48] Ittoki
    Did you learn something?
[05:49] Ryoko
    Ninja Cores are ultimately
    tools to pair with Ninja Suits
[05:51] Ryoko
    to bring human physical
    abilities beyond their limits.
[05:55] Ryoko
    This is so highly inefficient—
[05:56] Kirei
    For normal people, please!
[05:58] Ryoko
    Kirei, could you move all day
    on a single grain of rice?
[06:02] Kirei
    No way.
[06:03] Ryoko
    It's the same for these machines.
[06:05] Ryoko
    The amount of energy supplied by
    the Ninja Cores in these units
[06:09] Ryoko
    is far too low for the
    requirements of the body.
[06:12] Ryoko
    I'd expect the mechanical ninjas to
    be able to operate for an hour max.
[06:18] Kozo
    A report from Shiota!
[06:20] Shiota
    One of them retreated unnaturally
    on the verge of dealing a finishing blow.
SIGN    Audio call
[06:24] Shiota
    It ran off and a different
    mechanical ninja attacked.
[06:28] Shiota
    It could've killed me, but it didn't.
[06:31] Kirei
    Could it have withdrawn
    because it ran out of energy?
[06:35] Ittoki
    Thank you, Mr. Shiota.
    That's extremely helpful.
[06:38] Shiota
    Over and out.
SIGN    Audio call
SIGN    Call ended
[06:40] Ittoki
    If the mechanical ninjas' weakness
    is insufficient energy,
[06:42] Ittoki
    that explains why Koga is
    after Iga's secret Ninja Core.
[06:47] Ryoko
    With the technology behind the secret
    Ninja Core's unlimited energy,
[06:50] Ryoko
    the energy problem would be solved.
[06:53] Kozo
    If they were ever to be
    able to make that happen...
[06:56] Ittoki
    Right now, what we need is a
    way to force their retreat.
[07:00] Ryoko
    I have an idea.
[07:02] Ryoko
    These Ninja Cores are like
    rechargeable batteries, as it were.
[07:06] Ryoko
    Based on the report just now,
[07:08] Ryoko
    they most likely have a base
    somewhere for recharging energy.
[07:13] Ryoko
    I imagine they're maintaining
    a constant rotation
[07:16] Ryoko
    by sending new machines in
    while the previous ones charge.
[07:21] Ittoki
    If we take that out, that will
    stop the mechanical ninjas!
[07:23] Ryoko
    Yes, but Koga would want
    to hide their weak point.
[07:28] Ryoko
    They probably forced that charge
    with the trucks as a diversion
[07:32] Ryoko
    so that they could transport the
    charging system via another route.
[07:36] Ittoki
    Can we compute where that base is?
[07:39] Reiha
    I'll work backwards from
    the operational time limit.
SIGN    Security Checkpoint: Display Hide
SIGN    Abnormality Detection: None
[07:42] Kirei
    We have to search this whole area?
[07:44] Ryoko
    The charging system ought
    to be quite large.
[07:48] Ryoko
    Since it would have to
    be transported by truck,
[07:50] Ryoko
    limit the search to inconspicuous places
    with level ground and road access.
SIGN    Security Checkpoint: Display Hide
SIGN    Abnormality Detection: None
[07:55] Reiha
    Results in. There are
    five potential locations.
[07:58] Reiha
    If we send two ninjas to scout each spot...
[08:00] Kozo
    We can't. The front line would collapse.
[08:03] Kozo
    We have to form a single scout group
    and have them search one by one.
[08:07] Kozo
    It'll take time, but it's all we can do.
[08:11] Ittoki
    I'll go.
[08:13] Kozo
    You can't! It's too dangerous!
[08:15] Ittoki
    Everyone else is risking their lives.
[08:19] Ittoki
    I don't want any more of
    our people to get hurt!
[08:23] Kozo
    It's still unacceptable. To send
    a child to a battlefield is—
[08:27] Ittoki
    I am the current acting chief!
[08:30] Ittoki
    It's my job to protect Iga.
[08:35] Ryoko
    Allow me to join you.
[08:37] Ittoki
    I can't let you do that!
[08:39] Ittoki
    I can't drag you into Iga's problems!
[08:41] Ryoko
    The mechanical ninjas were
    made by my father!
[08:45] Ryoko
    Something Saiga village made
    is being used as a tool of war.
[08:49] Ryoko
    I can't sit by and do nothing!
[08:52] Ittoki
    But...
[09:02] Ryoko
    Let me repay you and everyone in Iga
    for all the kindness you've shown me.
[09:09] Ittoki
    Ryoko...
[09:15] Ittoki
    Please help me.
[09:18] Ryoko
    Yes, sir.
[09:20] Kozo
    Just promise me one thing.
[09:23] Kozo
    That if things get too dangerous,
    you'll come straight back.
[09:27] Kirei
    Um, I...
[09:31] Kirei
    I don't think I'll be useful,
    so I'll sit this out. Sorry!
[09:37] Kirei
    I'm sorry.
[09:38] Ittoki
    You don't have anything to apologize for.
[09:41] Ittoki
    Once it's all over, let's
    hang out at the river again!
[09:45] Ittoki
    Ryoko, is there anything you need?
[09:47] Ryoko
    Yes. Could you lead me to where
    you keep your ninja tools?
[09:50] Kozo
    This way.
SIGN    They're targeting your base. Ittoki has
[10:12] Karajishi
    You damned demon.
[10:18] Karajishi
    Where have you been all this time?
[10:21] Karajishi
    No matter. I'll overlook
    the violation of orders.
[10:25] Karajishi
    We're capturing Tokisada Koga.
[10:27] Shione Kouzuki
    Captain Karajishi of the 2nd Division.
[10:29] Shione Kouzuki
    You are under arrest.
[10:35] Karajishi
    So you're an Iga turncoat?
[10:37] Shione Kouzuki
    Who're ya callin' a turncoat?
    You're the traitor here!
[10:41] Suzaku
    We arrested Koga ninjas attempting to burn
[10:45] Suzaku
    Captain Goshogawara's body at an
    NSC-owned cremation facility.
[10:51] Shione Kouzuki
    You are suspected of murdering
    Hayato Goshogawara.
[10:55] Shione Kouzuki
    Surrender quietly.
[10:57] Karajishi
    Why, you—
[11:05] Shione Kouzuki
    Put down your weapons!
[11:07] NSC 1
    You're letting him go?
[11:09] Shione Kouzuki
    Right now, we need to prioritize
    aid for NSC agents and
[11:12] Shione Kouzuki
    getting our situation under control.
[11:23] Higher-up
    Karajishi... has been arrested.
[11:27] Higher-up
    Tokisada escaped. He's expected
    to return to Iga soon.
[11:31] Enbi
    Hey, the hour is long past!
    What the hell is going on?
[11:35] Koga Ninja
    Iga's resistance has been greater than expected.
[11:37] Koga Ninja
    But by morning, they'll definitely—
[11:39] Enbi
    That'll be too damned late!
[11:41] Enbi
    Go all-out, rear units included,
    and finish it in 30 minutes!
[11:48] Yumika
    That's...
[11:49] Tokisada
    Chief...
[11:50] Kousetsu
    Uncle, Iga is blanketed in fog.
[11:52] Tokisada
    That's a Koga tactic. The
    village is being attacked.
[11:56] Tokisada
    Electromagnetic interference is
    keeping me from reaching anyone.
[11:59] Tokisada
    I don't know the situation inside.
[12:00] Kousetsu
    What should I do?
[12:01] Tokisada
    Leave the area and hide.
[12:03] Yumika
    I'm returning to the village.
[12:05] Yumika
    What chief would run when
    her village is in danger?
[12:12] Tokisada
    As you wish. Kousetsu, can you do it?
[12:15] Kousetsu
    I'll do it even if I can't.
[12:17] Yumika
    Ittoki...
[12:18] Kousetsu
    Don't worry.
[12:21] Kousetsu
    He comes through when it counts.
[12:29] Ittoki
    There are so many.
[12:31] Ryoko
    With the charging station so close, the
    machines won't have to conserve energy.
[12:35] Ryoko
    If we're spotted, it's all over.
[12:38] Ryoko
    There are also plenty of guards.
    It's dangerous.
[12:40] Ryoko
    We should go report back.
[12:44] Ittoki
    Is it time for the rotation?
[12:46] Ryoko
    It doesn't feel right for that. And most
    of the Koga ninja guards are gone...
[12:54] Ittoki
    Ryoko, is it possible for us to
    destroy that thing right now?
[12:58] Ryoko
    That's reckless. We should
    go back and get help!
[13:02] Ittoki
    I don't know why, but their
    defense is thinner than normal.
[13:05] Ittoki
    This moment is an opportunity
    to end the battle.
[13:08] Ryoko
    But...
[13:10] Ittoki
    I noticed you aren't saying it's impossible.
[13:13] Ittoki
    Help me do this.
[13:16] Ryoko
    Ittoki, you really always
    put others before yourself.
[13:22] Ryoko
    I had a feeling you might want
    to try something reckless,
[13:25] Ryoko
    so I brought the grenades we
    didn't use when we were fishing.
[13:30] Ryoko
    If we use them on the charging system,
[13:32] Ryoko
    we can initiate a massive explosion
    through a chain reaction.
[13:36] Ryoko
    It should destroy the nearby
    mechanical ninjas as well.
[13:39] Ryoko
    However, I expect doing so
    will be quite difficult.
[13:42] Ryoko
    They'll need to be placed
    directly on the charging system.
[13:47] Ittoki
    Directly on it...
[13:50] Ryoko
    Yes. A nearly impossible task.
[13:52] Ryoko
    Which is why we'll use this.
[13:55] Ryoko
    It'll jam the instruction
    transmission mechanism,
[13:58] Ryoko
    then the self-repair program will—
[14:00] Ittoki
    Uh... the short version?
[14:01] Ryoko
    It'll stop the mechanical ninjas from
    moving, but only for about 10 seconds.
[14:05] Ryoko
    That's the best I could
    do on the fly like this.
[14:08] Ittoki
    That's amazing, Ryoko. Thanks.
[14:10] Ittoki
    You can head back first.
[14:13] Ryoko
    I'll be in charge of this one.
[14:16] Ryoko
    A ninja tool crafter's job
    is to provide support.
[14:19] Ryoko
    It would sully Saiga's name
    for me to bow out here.
[14:25] Ittoki
    Thank you.
[14:46] Himura
    You...
[15:01] Himura
    Hey, there, Future Chief.
[15:05] Himura
    Now I can finally kill you.
[15:08] Himura
    This ain't school.
[15:13] Ittoki
    Damn it!
[15:37] Ryoko
    Ittoki. Ittoki.
[15:40] Ryoko
    Ittoki!
[15:43] Ryoko
    We did it, Ittoki! Let's get out of here!
[15:52] Ryoko
    Ittoki?
[16:00] Ittoki
    Kirei!
[16:03] Kirei
    Good morning.
[16:05] Ittoki
    Why?
[16:07] Kirei
    "To deceive your enemy, first deceive
    your allies." As the saying goes.
[16:12] Ittoki
    Thank you.
[16:15] Kirei
    Hey! I can run on my own!
[16:18] Enbi
    Damn it! What the hell are
    the defense units doing?!
[16:21] Koga Ninja
    Charging station damaged!
     The front is going to collapse!
[16:25] Enbi
    We don't need the Asuras to
    defeat the likes of the Iga!
[16:27] Koga Ninja
    Annihilating Iga without the
    Asuras will not be possible!
[16:30] Koga Ninja
    Please, order the retreat!
[16:40] Reiha
    A convoy likely carrying the
    Koga units has left Iga!
[16:43] Kozo
    We've won!
[16:45] Ittoki
    Thank goodness.
[16:46] Kozo
    Still, promise never do
    anything like that again!
[16:50] Ittoki
    Sorry...
[16:51] Tsune
    Nobody should be lecturing him right now.
[16:55] Tsune
    I offer my deepest thanks, Acting Chief.
[16:57] Yogawa?/Yokogawa?
    We can't call you "Young
    Master" anymore, can we.
[16:59] Chikamatsu
    Please continue to protect Iga.
[17:02] Kirei
    That's right, Acting Chief.
[17:08] Shione Kouzuki
    Tell me everything.
[17:10] Shione Kouzuki
    Was it on Kidou Minobe's orders that
    you killed Captain Goshogawara?
[17:14] Karajishi
    I suggest you choose your words carefully.
[17:17] Karajishi
    I am the head of the NSC.
[17:19] Shione Kouzuki
    Did you betray the NSC for Koga
    so you could get that position?
[17:22] Karajishi
    I will remain silent until my lawyer arrives.
[17:25] Shione Kouzuki
    Would that be one of Koga's
    exclusive private lawyers?
[17:28] Karajishi
    Surely that's not so strange.
[17:31] Shione Kouzuki
    They aren't going to defend you.
[17:33] Shione Kouzuki
    The Koga ninjas who were attempting
    to burn Captain Goshogawara's body
[17:37] Shione Kouzuki
    gave statements saying you were
    the one who committed the murder.
[17:41] Shione Kouzuki
    And that they only took the job to burn
    the body, with no connection to Koga.
[17:47] Karajishi
    Hogwash.
[17:49] Shione Kouzuki
    Even after Koga abandoned
    you, you'll still serve them?
[17:54] Karajishi
    You think you can get me to
    crack with some clumsy bluff?
[18:00] Karajishi
    What's that look supposed to mean?
[18:02] Shione Kouzuki
    If you're truly NSC, then do what's
    necessary to serve justice.
[18:08] Karajishi
    Don't you dare look down on me.
[18:11] Karajishi
    This isn't over.
[18:20] Reiha
    Yumika!
[18:21] Kozo
    Welcome back, ma'am!
[18:23] Yumika
    Is everyone all right? What about Ittoki?
[18:25] Kozo
    We are. Ittoki protected the village
    splendidly as acting chief.
[18:31] Yumika
    I'm glad to hear it.
[18:32] Kozo
    Kousetsu, well done escorting her back.
[18:44] Yumika
    Kousetsu?
[18:52] Kousetsu
    Get out. Don't let anyone come in.
[18:55] Kozo
    What're you doing, Kousetsu?
[18:56] Kousetsu
    Do as I say, or she dies.
[18:59] Yumika
    Kousetsu!
[19:00] Kousetsu
    Hand over Iga's secret Ninja Core.
[19:03] Reiha
    Acting Chief! Emergency!
[19:05] Reiha
    Kousetsu has... betrayed us!
[19:08] Reiha
    She's holding the chief hostage!
[19:14] Yumika
    Were you waiting for this
    moment the whole time?
[19:17] Kousetsu
    Keep quiet.
[19:19] Yumika
    Who are you?
[19:20] Kousetsu
    Keep quiet!
[19:24] Karajishi
    Hand over the Ninja Core.
[19:27] Kousetsu
    Hand over the Ninja Core.
[19:31] Yumika
    Kousetsu.
[19:33] Yumika
    Snap out of it!
[19:36] Kousetsu
    Don't move!
[19:43] Kousetsu
    If you don't obey, I'll kill you.
[19:48] Kousetsu
    Stay back!
[20:00] Yumika
    I see how hard you're fighting.
[20:08] Yumika
    No matter what happens, you'll
    always be my daughter.
[20:28] Kousetsu
    M...o...
[20:32] Yumika
    Kousetsu!
[20:34] Yumika
    Kousetsu!
[20:46] Yumika
    Ittoki...
[20:49] Ittoki
    Where's Mom?
[20:50] Kozo
    We have the estate surrounded
    and are attempting learn more.
[20:54] Kozo
    We're going in!
[20:56] Ittoki
    Mom!
[20:58] Ittoki
    Mom!
[21:04] Ittoki
    M-Mom?
[21:21] Kozo
    Kousetsu!
[21:22] Kozo
    Why?!
[21:23] Kozo
