SIGN    Touko
[00:32] Haijuu
    Kanata. My dog's name is Kanata.
[00:44] Narrator
    That night, a man
    they called a "fire hunter" died,
[00:49] Narrator
    leaving behind only
    his hound and his sickle.

[02:45] Touko
    Kanata.
[02:59] Touko
    Pardon us, Lady Warashi.
[04:02] Akari
    For the dog.
[04:05] Grandmother
    Touko.
[04:07] Grandmother
    It's high time you returned that animal.
[04:11] Grandmother
    It's all healed up now, right?
[04:15] Grandmother
    You must give it back, along with
    that warding stone and the fire sickle.
[04:22] Akari
    That warding stone doesn't look hand-carved.
[04:26] Akari
    The factories print writing like that.
[04:29] Akari
    Maybe that fire hunter was from the capital.
[04:32] Akari
    If he was, you'll need
    to go there to return his dog.
[04:37] Akari
    Will you go, Touko? To the capital.
[04:39] Rin
    Touko? In the capital?
[04:41] Touko
    But Aunt, I'd never make it.
[04:46] Grandmother
    Touko.
[04:48] Grandmother
    Fire hunting is a noble calling.
[04:52] Grandmother
    How many times have I told you that?
[04:55] Grandmother
    Up until about 60 years ago, we used
    to skulk around among the dark trees,
[05:02] Grandmother
    but now, we can build villages.
[05:07] Grandmother
    We have the fire hunters to thank for that.
SIGN    Tokohanahime
[05:11] Grandmother
    They risk their lives to harvest flame
    so that you can live with your eyes open.
[05:20] Grandmother
    That dog has had special training
    so that it can help them with their work.
[05:27] Grandmother
    You must return it.
[05:30] Grandmother
    Take it to the hunter's family,
    along with his other personal effects.
[05:40] Akari
    The collection truck will come by soon.
[05:45] Akari
    I'll speak to the papermakers.
[05:48] Rin
    Hey, I could go if Touko doesn't want to.
[05:53] Akari
    Don't be ridiculous!
[05:55] Akari
    What could you do?
[05:56] Akari
    That dog bites everyone except Touko.
SIGN    Tokohanahime
[06:49] Rin
    Put that light back. You're wasting it.
[06:55] Rin
    You really are cursed.
[06:59] Rin
    Someone died because of you.
[07:01] Rin
    You made this house even more
    cramped for Mom and me.
[07:05] Rin
    And now, you're gonna run off and
    leave me to take care of Grandmother.
[07:11] Rin
    I seriously...
[07:14] Rin
    seriously hate you.
[07:20] Akari
    We'd like to return the fire hunter's dog
     and sickle to his family.
[07:27] Akari
    And as you probably know,
    the dog only listens to Touko.
[07:32] Akari
    Since we think that hunter
    was from the capital,
[07:35] Akari
    we're hoping to send Touko
    and the dog there on the next truck.
[07:43] Akari
    So, could you give her
    a few sheets of muku paper?
[07:47] Shuichi
    Muku paper?
[07:50] Shuichi
    Now listen here, Akari...
[07:52] Shuichi
    We can't afford to
    stick our necks out that far.
[07:55] Shuichi
    You know we only make muku in the dead
    of winter, when the water's at its clearest.
[08:03] Shuichi
    Even if we started now,
    we'd never be done in time.
[08:09] Shuichi
    Plus, you do realize that just one sheet of
    muku is enough to keep the lights on, right?
[08:14] Shuichi
    It's a sacred offering.
    You can trade it for bottled lightning.
[08:18] Shuichi
    And you want some just like that?
[08:22] Shuichi
    Enough's enough. She went into
    the forest, got a fire hunter killed,
[08:31] Shuichi
    and now she can't work
    because of that dog.
[08:35] Shuichi
    Go cry to the collection truck
    if you want to give the mutt back that badly.
[08:41] Shuichi
    We can't clean up Touko's mess for her.
[08:45] Shuichi
    Sure, maybe she'll end up on the street,
[08:48] Shuichi
    but the capital's likely
     full of kids like that.
[08:52] Akari
    That's why I'm asking.
[08:54] Akari
    Our village is small, but it's special.
[08:57] Akari
    Lots of villages sell to factories,
    but only a handful make offerings.
[09:06] Akari
    And muku paper is what the gods write on.
[09:11] Akari
    We'd shame ourselves
    if we sent a girl to repay a debt
[09:17] Akari
    without properly preparing her
     for the journey.
[09:22] Akari
    Falling down dead in the forest
    would be bad enough.
[09:26] Akari
    But if she ends up homeless in the capital,
[09:28] Akari
    the Lady Goddess will
    consider this village defiled.
[09:49] Shuichi
    Half a sheaf.
    That's five sheets we'll give you.
[09:53] Shuichi
    We'll have to give the collectors
    double the usual batch of dyed paper.
[09:59] Shuichi
    And even getting that much done
    will mean losing sleep.
[10:04] Shuichi
    Make sure you're packed.
[10:07] Akari
    Sorry for the trouble.
[10:16] Akari
    No one knows why you went into the forest.
[10:24] Akari
    You went to fetch medicine,
    didn't you? From the treefolk.
[10:31] Akari
    Touko, they won't give you
    eye medicine. You can't use it.
[10:38] Akari
    Their medicine is poisonous to us.
[10:42] Akari
    Silly girl.
[10:43] Akari
    You weren't thinking of Grandmother,
    were you? You were thinking of me.
[10:49] Akari
    Don't fret. My eyes still work.
[10:55] Akari
    People must have been
    so carefree in the old days.
[11:00] Akari
    Never stopping to think what
    their actions would cause down the road.
[11:15] Narrator
    This is no ancient tale.
[11:20] Narrator
    Once, humans could make fire
    and use it as they pleased.
[11:26] Narrator
    But then, the human race was remade.
[11:32] Narrator
    Thereafter, even approaching
    a spark of natural flame
[11:37] Narrator
    would cause their bodies
    to ignite from within.
[11:43] Narrator
    So ended old humanity's
    long history of war.
[11:50] Narrator
    Ever since, the world has
    been covered by dark forests,
[11:54] Narrator
    which have become
    the domain of flame fiends,
[11:59] Narrator
    where humans cower in fear
    of both the darkness and fire.
[12:07] Narrator
    One day, strong winds rustled the treetops,
    sparking a small natural flame.
[12:15] Narrator
    This tiny fire claimed the lives of
    Touko's parents and their neighbor's husband.
[12:20] Narrator
    Akari's eyes burned, and a total of
    19 villagers died, incinerated from within.
[12:33] Akari
    Don't worry. We'll take
    good care of your grandmother.
[12:38] Akari
    Rin's a hard worker,
    though you'd never guess it.
[12:42] Akari
    Go make amends for what you've done.
[12:46] Akari
    The dog will look out for you.
[12:50] Akari
    And...
[12:54] Akari
    Come back home. We'll be waiting.
[12:59] Akari
    I promise we'll be waiting.
[13:12] Villager A
    Oh! There it is!
[13:18] Villager A
    Here comes the collection truck!
[14:59] Narrator
    About once every six months, the tiny
    village comes alive for the collection.
[15:08] Narrator
    Villagers flock to trade with the truck,
    which not only buys goods,
[15:13] Narrator
    but also operates a shop in
    the square during its two-day stay.
SIGN    1
[15:41] Narrator
    Even though natural flame
    now spelled death for humans,
[15:46] Narrator
    they were loath to relinquish
    the lost blessings of fire.
[15:50] Narrator
    Or perhaps they wished to
    shield their young from its dangers.

    We'll be traveling companions for a while.
[16:43] Enji
    We can give you a lift, but there are
    other villages we have to stop at.
[16:50] Enji
    It'll take us five months
    to reach the capital.
[16:53] Enji
    Then we'll have to wade through paperwork
     and do repairs before we can leave again.
[17:01] Enji

     make it out of the forest alive.

    Everything's all in order at home, too.

    People of the past cremated their dead.
[19:43] Narrator
    Did no one question this act of mixing
    searing flame with the immobility of death?
[19:51] Narrator
    Or is fire only a symbol of
    suffering in this present age?
[19:58] Narrator
    This world once perished.
[20:02] Narrator
    The humans who survived its demise were
    remade to combust in the presence of flame.

    They eked out a living, scraping together

[20:32] Narrator
    There was always someone
    falling ill somewhere.
[20:37] Narrator
    When people wielded natural fire,
[20:40] Narrator
    they knew how to shield themselves
    from dangers and toxins.
[20:45] Narrator
    That knowledge was lost,
    and this new world has no time to relearn it.

    The mother of this boy and
    his young sister worked in a factory.

    Oh, you're awake!
[02:12] Benio
    Don't talk to her out of the blue, Hotaru.
     The dog won't like it if you startle her.
[02:21] Benio
    I couldn't believe it.
[02:22] Benio
    You puked and passed out
    as soon as you got on.
[02:27] Hotaru
    Here, have some water.
[02:40] Hotaru
    I'm Hotaru.
[02:41] Hotaru
    This is Benio.
[02:45] Hotaru
    And that girl over there is Kaho.
[02:55] Hotaru
    We're all getting rides to other villages.
[03:00] Hotaru
    We're off to be married.
[03:02] Touko
    You're getting married?
[03:04] Touko
    That's why you're on the collection truck?

    But you're not here as a bride, are you?
[03:17] Touko
    I'm going to the capital.
[03:21] Benio
    To the capital? What for?
[03:24] Touko
    S-Someone died because of me.
[03:28] Touko
    I'm going to return his things.
[03:34] Benio
    What's your name? How old are you?
[03:38] Touko
    Touko. I'm 11.
[03:43] Sakuroku
    You awake, twerp? Come with me.
[03:46] Touko
    O-Okay.
[03:47] Sakuroku

[03:53] Touko
    Ah, wait for...
[03:56] Touko
    Please take care of this.
[03:58] Hotaru
    Sure.
[04:00] Narrator
    Collection trucks connected
    the scattered villages,
[04:03] Narrator
    bringing precious goods made
    in the capital's factories to them.
[04:08] Narrator
    To the inhabitants of this world,
    they were a lifeline.
[04:15] Narrator
    In exchange for the safe light
    and warmth of bottled lightning,
[04:19] Narrator
    each village would send its unique
    products and offerings to the capital.
[04:25] Narrator
    The trucks ferried goods and news
    between villages, but that wasn't all.
[04:33] Narrator
    They were the last thread linking the
    humans isolated within protective wards.
[04:42] Sakuroku
    This is the engine room.
[04:44] Sakuroku
    Hey, Shouzou!
[04:46] Shouzou
    Huh?
[04:48] Sakuroku
    We picked up this twerp in the
    village yesterday. Put her to work.
[04:52] Shouzou
    What?
[04:54] Shouzou
    Why me? I've already got a lot on my plate.
[04:57] Sakuroku
    Can it. She's your problem now,
    and that's that.
[05:11] Shouzou
    Follow me.
[05:12] Shouzou
    I hear you got saddled
    with a dead fire hunter's stuff.
[05:16] Shouzou
    Tough luck for a kid like you.
[05:19] Touko
    It's my fault the fire hunter died.
[05:24] Shouzou
    I'd sell the sickle to a passing hunter for a
    tidy sum and keep the hound as a guard dog.
[05:31] Shouzou
    You villagers sure are honest.
[05:33] Shouzou
    'Course, it's better for
    the factories that way.
[05:40] Shouzou
    Scrub it nice and clean.
[05:41] Touko
    Okay...
[05:44] Shouzou
    There's more after this one.
[06:05] Shouzou
    You oughta know me by now.
[06:08] Shouzou
    Dogs are supposed to be quick learners.
[06:12] Shouzou
    You're done here.
[06:13] Shouzou
    Go back to your room and eat.
[06:18] Touko
    Um, do you know where Mr. Enji is?
[06:24] Shouzou
    Sorry, but Enji's on the other truck, Car 2.
[06:30] Shouzou
    He's good with people.
[06:33] Shouzou
    But over here, we've got that scary old chief.
[06:43] Benio
    You reek!
[06:48] Hotaru
    Your food's here.
[06:50] Hotaru
    We already ate.
[07:15] Kaho
    I don't need it.
[07:17] Touko
    But...
[07:19] Kaho
    I don't!
[07:21] Hotaru
    That's no good, Kaho. You have to eat.
[07:25] Hotaru
    Or you'll starve to death
     before your wedding.
[07:28] Hotaru
    And if we die on the truck, then...
[07:34] Hotaru
    what are we here for?
[07:38] Benio
    They packed us off as brides
    to get rid of curses.
[07:42] Touko
    Get rid of curses?
[07:45] Hotaru
    My village made pottery.
[07:50] Hotaru
    Like bowls and teacups, you know?
[07:52] Hotaru
    Except lately, the clay's been no good.
[07:56] Hotaru
    It runs through your fingers
    like fiend blood.
[08:00] Hotaru
    The old folks read the omens
    and said it was a curse.
[08:04] Hotaru
    The treefolk wouldn't take me
    far enough away for them,
[08:10] Hotaru
    so they put me on this truck.
[08:12] Benio
    Same story here.
[08:15] Benio
    My village works bamboo.
    The whole place is one big grove.
[08:19] Benio
    And this year, it refuses to grow.
[08:22] Benio
    It doesn't normally need any help from us,
    but this crop rots as soon as it sprouts.
[08:28] Benio
    I got the same deal as Hotaru.
[08:30] Benio
    As if marrying me off would lift any curse.
[08:35] Benio
    I could've done the work of
    five men if they'd just left me alone.
[08:40] Benio
    Kaho's in the same boat.
[08:42] Benio
    Her village mines pretty rocks.
[08:46] Benio
    Ah, I'm bored to tears on this thing.
[08:50] Benio
    You're lucky they let you work, Touko.
[08:53] Benio
    Food doesn't taste right when you don't.
[08:56] Benio
    I love to work. Being holed up in this
    little room doesn't suit me one bit.
[09:09] Benio
    Hurry up and eat!
[09:10] Benio
    This has to be easier on
    a mutt like you than it is on us.
[09:15] Benio
    Don't growl like you own the place.
    Mind your manners!
[09:28] Hotaru
    You're so funny, Benio.
[09:30] Hotaru
    You showed Touko's dog who's boss.
[09:33] Hotaru
    That makes you the head honcho.
[09:36] Benio
    Come on, Hotaru. Laugh or cry,
    but don't do both.
[09:41] Hotaru
    But Benio, look. It's eating.
[09:45] Hotaru
    Look, Touko.
[09:55] Touko
    Kanata?
[09:57] Hotaru
    Could it be a dog whistle?
[10:01] Hotaru
    There's a fire hunter
    aboard the other truck.
[10:05] Hotaru
    They say he orders his hound around
    with a whistle that only dogs can hear.
[10:13] Hotaru
    I bet Kanata can hear it, too.
[10:17] Benio
    Do you want to work, too?
[10:33] Kaho
    You're too loud.
[10:36] Touko
    I'm sorry. Was I snoring?
[10:39] Kaho
    No. You kept groaning in your sleep.
[10:44] Kaho
    Here. This fell out of your bag
    when you got on.
[10:48] Kaho
    Those two wouldn't stop yapping
    long enough for me to give it back.
[10:52] Kaho
    Well, you have it now.
[10:54] Kaho
    You barely talk when you're awake,
    but in your sleep, you never shut up.

[12:29] Koushi
    I received this letter.
[12:31] Koushi
    Haijuu the fire hunter is my father.
    I believe you've hosted him here before.
[12:36] Butler
    We have been expecting you, sir.
    Right this way.
[12:45] Butler
    My master, Yuoshichi,
    will be with you shortly.
[13:07] Yuoshichi
    I was devastated to hear what happened.
[13:10] Yuoshichi
    Your poor mother.
    And while your father is away, too.
[13:14] Yuoshichi
    My sincerest condolences.
[13:17] Yuoshichi
    I've been indebted to your father,
     Haijuu, for many years.
[13:22] Yuoshichi
    Your mother's health troubled me,
    but I never expected such a sharp decline.
[13:31] Koushi
    I have a younger sister.
[13:34] Koushi
    She's ill, but I'm a student
    and I don't have a job yet.
[13:40] Koushi
    Could you please find it in your heart
    to let me work in your factory?
[13:45] Yuoshichi
    Oh, I didn't reach out to you children
    because I want to put you to work.
[13:52] Yuoshichi
    Tell me, how would you like to live here?
[13:57] Koushi
    What?
[13:58] Yuoshichi
    It's better than it once was,
    but the capital is still far from safe.
[14:03] Yuoshichi
    I'll give both of you rooms
    in my house. What do you say?
[14:08] Koushi
    Apprentice quarters?
[14:10] Yuoshichi
    Actually, I'd like to welcome you
    to be part of the family.
[14:15] Koushi
    I'm deeply grateful, but I can't
    presume upon your generosity.
[14:20] Yuoshichi
    I realize this is sudden.
    You must be confused.
[14:24] Yuoshichi
    But think it over carefully.
[14:26] Yuoshichi
    Whether you work or stay in school,
    your sister will be alone all day.
[14:33] Yuoshichi
    If you join me here,
    I can get her a good doctor.
[14:39] Yuoshichi
    I can find you a tutor and even
    get you a pass to the central archive.
[14:48] Yuoshichi
    And...
[14:50] Yuoshichi
    You'll have free rein to use
    the skyfire your father left behind.
[14:57] Koushi
    Skyfire?
SIGN    Skyfire
[15:00] Yuoshichi
    Haijuu once told me he'd stockpiled
    skyfire in his home for a rainy day.
[15:09] Yuoshichi
    Though, by law, all skyfire and fiendfire
    must go to our rulers, the divine clans.
SIGN    Divine Clans
[15:19] Yuoshichi
    Koushi, your father left the capital
    because he sensed times were changing.
[15:26] Yuoshichi
    The government of this land
    is likely on its last legs.
[15:31] Yuoshichi
    You must know about it. Unlike the fire
    harvested from fiends in the dark forest,
[15:38] Yuoshichi
    skyfire only comes from fallbeasts,
    the fiends of the air.
SIGN    Fallbeasts
[15:43] Yuoshichi
    And it is far more potent
    than ordinary fiendfire.
[15:49] Yuoshichi
    It doesn't burn. It explodes.
[15:52] Yuoshichi
    Even a little of it makes excellent fuel.
[15:56] Yuoshichi
    And only a handful of the very best
    fire hunters can harvest fallbeasts.
SIGN    Fire Hunters
[16:01] Yuoshichi
    Hunters like your father, Haijuu.
[16:05] Yuoshichi
    Unfortunately, using skyfire is
    beyond my factory's technicians.
[16:11] Yuoshichi
    But I believe you can reinvent
    bottled lightning for a new purpose.
[16:19] Koushi
    A new type of bottled lightning?
SIGN    Bottled Lightning
[16:24] Yuoshichi
    Use all the funds and materials you want.
[16:28] Yuoshichi
    I share your father's premonition.
    This nation will soon falter.
[16:38] Yuoshichi
    When it does, we need the strength
    to defend ourselves and our villages.
[16:45] Koushi
    Please tell me one thing.
[16:48] Koushi
    Why get me to use the skyfire?
    Wouldn't an expert be better for this?
[16:53] Koushi
    It's dangerous, and I'm still a student.
    My knowledge is limited.
[17:00] Koushi
    If you help my sister, I would be happy
    to give you the skyfire my father left.
[17:08] Yuoshichi
    No, I doubt anyone is
    better suited to the task.
[17:13] Yuoshichi
    Forgive me, but I took the
    liberty of investigating you.
[17:18] Yuoshichi
    You weren't born into wealth,
    but you received a scholarship to the academy
[17:26] Yuoshichi
    because they saw you had
    a talent that others lack:
[17:32] Yuoshichi
    the potential not just to learn,
    but to create new things.
[17:37] Yuoshichi
    And above all, that fire
    is your father's legacy.

    I'm going hunting. Join me.
[18:24] Touko
    Huh?
[18:26] Enzen
    Come. Hunt with my hound, Izumo.
[18:45] Sakuroku
    We just need enough to get by.
     Don't overdo it. Be careful.
[18:50] Enzen
    We only work because there's danger.
[18:54] Benio
    Who does he think he is? I can't stand him.
[19:00] Hotaru
    Oh no!
[19:01] Hotaru
    Kaho's gone! I think she went outside.
[19:10] Benio
    What's wrong with that girl?!
[19:14] Touko
    Kanata!
[19:18] Touko
    Please leave this open!
     I'll bring Kaho back!

    Kaho!
[19:36] Touko
    Kaho!
[19:40] Touko

[20:19] Touko
    Kanata.
[20:37] Touko
    K-Kaho!
[20:58] Enzen
    Kanata! Izumo! Well done!
[21:39] Enzen
    You nitwit!
[21:41] Enzen
    I'd chew the other girl out, too,
    if she weren't hurt.
[21:49] Enzen
    Don't snarl at me.
[21:51] Enzen
    This kid's not your master.
[21:54] Enzen
    She's just your chaperone to the capital.
[22:00] Sakuroku
    Never go outside without permission.
[22:03] Sakuroku
    The lives of the whole crew
     depend on our rules.
[22:10] Sakuroku
    Sorry, twerp, but I can't keep you on board.
[22:14] Sakuroku
    Get off at the next village
     with one of the brides.

[02:00] Yuoshichi

    Please excuse me now.
    I have to work this afternoon,

    but we'll dine with my wife
    and daughter tonight.
[02:28] Kira
    May I come in?
[02:35] Kira
    I'm so sorry I didn't greet you earlier.
[02:38] Kira
    I'd hoped to meet you with Mother,
    but she hasn't come out of her room yet.
[02:49] Kira
    How do you do? I'm Kira.
    I'm part of the Okibi family.
SIGN    Kira
[02:57] Kira
    The doctor wants to see you
    about your sister's diagnosis.
[03:09] Kira
    Here he is, Doctor.
[03:12] Takimi
    I am Takimi, the Okibis'
     principal physician.
SIGN    Takimi
[03:17] Koushi
    I'm Hinako's brother, Koushi.
[03:22] Takimi
    This is a clear case of fetal contamination.
[03:26] Takimi
    A real cure for her condition is
    frankly unlikely, I'm sorry to say.
[03:33] Takimi
    But with proper nutrition and a hygienic
     environment, she should regain her strength.
[03:40] Takimi
    She's been on a lot of
    painkillers, hasn't she?
[03:44] Takimi
    They will only worsen her condition.
[03:47] Takimi
    Most children with fetal contamination
    succumb at a much earlier age.
[03:53] Takimi
    Hinako must be a strong girl.
[03:56] Koushi
    Strong?
[03:58] Takimi
    In cases like Hinako's, complications
    from infections pose the greatest risk.
[04:04] Takimi
    She should be safer here. It's far from
    the factory district, and the air is clean.
[04:10] Takimi
    I'll start treating her symptoms in earnest
    once she has her strength back.
[04:16] Takimi
    The master of the house told me about
     your mother. My sincerest condolences.
[04:22] Takimi
    Please, have no fear for your sister.
[04:25] Takimi
    I will treat her to the best of my ability.
[04:36] Kira
    Dr. Takimi is wonderful, don't you think?
[04:40] Koushi
    Thank you for bothering
    with people like us. I'm grateful.
[04:44] Kira
    Please, don't stand on ceremony.
[04:49] Kira
    To tell the truth, I've been lonely
    growing up in this house.
[04:55] Kira
    I'm so glad you came.
    It's like I have siblings.
[04:58] Kira
    Your sister is called Hinako,
    isn't she? That's a lovely name.
[05:03] Kira
    What do I call you?
[05:06] Koushi
    Koushi.
[05:08] Kira
    How do you write it?
[05:17] Koushi
    "Kou" is "emperor" with the "fire" radical.
[05:25] Koushi
    "Shi" is the number four. Koushi.
[05:29] Kira
    What a wonderful name.
[05:31] Kira
    The "kou" means "a great blaze,"
    and the "shi" means "safety and perfection."

[05:56] Koushi
    Really? I had no idea.
[05:59] Kira
    Apparently, people started this custom
    sometime after the loss of natural fire.
[06:07] Kira
    It meant a lot at the time,
    but no one remembers now.
[06:09] Koushi
    Where did you learn about it?
[06:12] Kira
    My tutor, Mr. Kouhachi, taught me.
     He's amazing. He knows everything.
[06:18] Kira
    I'm 16. What about you?
[06:21] Koushi
    I'm 15. A year younger.
[06:23] Koushi
    Don't you go to school, Kira?
[06:29] Kira
    I wanted to, but my parents decided
     I should have a tutor instead.
[06:35] Kira
    I'm an only child,
    so I'll inherit the factory someday.
[06:40] Hibana
    I wouldn't be so sure of that.
[06:45] Hibana
    I take it this is your new brother?
[06:52] Kira

    I'm Yuoshichi's wife.
    Forgive me for not greeting you sooner.

    My daughter's been over the moon
    since she learned you were coming.
[07:06] Hibana
    Kira, don't take things for granted.
[07:10] Hibana
    You might not be the only potential heir.
[07:15] Kira
    Yes. I'm sorry, Mother.
[07:18] Hibana
    I'm going to rest.
[07:20] Hibana
    Don't disturb me until dinner.
[07:29] Koushi
    Is she not feeling well?
[07:31] Kira
    It's not that. Sorry about her.
[07:33] Kira
    Mother didn't even tell you her name.
[07:38] Kira
    Hibana.
SIGN    Hibana
[07:39] Kira
    My mother's name is Hibana.
[07:42] Kira
    She's not ill or anything.
[07:44] Kira
    She says she had a hard youth,
    so she takes to her bed sometimes.
[07:50] Kira
    But she's usually full of life.
[07:54] Koushi
    I'm glad she's not ill.
[07:56] Koushi
    Hinako's and my mother passed away
    due to the factory toxins the other day.
[08:02] Kira
    What am I thinking, celebrating
    when you've just lost your mother?
SIGN    Touko
[09:21] Doctor
    The claw wounds are deep but not fatal.
[09:25] Doctor
    If it had bitten her, she'd be dead.
[09:28] Doctor
    Standing here worrying
     won't make her better.
[09:32] Doctor
    The chief told you to get off
    at the next village, remember?
[09:35] Doctor
    I feel sorry for you, but them's the breaks.
[09:38] Doctor
    We all look out for
    each other's survival here.
[09:42] Doctor
    Anyone who can't do that
    has to go, even if it's a kid.
[09:48] Benio
    Kaho, you idiot!
[09:50] Benio
    We don't want to get married
    any more than you do!
[09:53] Benio
    But you never complained!
    You just snuck out!
[09:56] Benio
    What if you'd died?!
[09:58] Hotaru
    Touko!
[10:00] Benio
    That's a nasty bruise. Did somebody hit you?
[10:04] Hotaru
    I just heard the news from one of the crew.
[10:07] Hotaru
    Are you really getting off
    at Weaver Village with me?
[10:11] Benio
    It doesn't make sense!
     Touko went out to save Kaho!
[10:15] Benio
    I'll go talk to them.
[10:17] Hotaru
    Benio!
[10:20] Shouzou
    I don't know what you
    expect me to do about it.
[10:24] Benio
    You can't toss her out midtrip
    for trying to help somebody.
[10:28] Shouzou
    I know you villagers are big on responsibility,
[10:31] Shouzou
    but the chief isn't mad
    'cause the kid went outside.
[10:36] Shouzou
    She didn't shut the door behind her, right?
[10:41] Benio
    She asked us to leave it open.
[10:43] Shouzou
    Some fiends are quick little buggers.
[10:47] Shouzou
    Do you know what would happen
    if one of them slipped in here?
[10:53] Shouzou
    In these cramped quarters, we'd be helpless.
[10:56] Shouzou
    You, me, and everyone else
    could've been slaughtered.
[11:00] Benio
    What?
[11:02] Shouzou
    Besides, didn't you notice that
    Kaho girl was up to something?
[11:06] Benio
    Of course not! We would've stopped her!
[11:09] Benio
    Or run away with her.
[11:14] Shouzou
    I'll try to smooth things
     over with the chief.
[11:16] Benio
    Huh?
[11:18] Shouzou
    The chief and the hunter don't get it.
[11:21] Shouzou
    If we try to kick the kid out,
    that dog won't take it lying down.
[11:27] Shouzou
    Leave it to me. I won't let you down.
[11:40] Touko
    She's taking her time.
[11:42] Benio
    Let her. It's a special day.
[12:04] Crewwoman
    You're still getting ready?
[12:10] Crewwoman
    A farewell present for the bride.
[12:14] Crewwoman
    Don't tell the rest of the crew.
[12:16] Hotaru
    Are you sure? This must be to sell.
[12:20] Crewwoman
    That's why I'm saying to keep it quiet.
[12:23] Crewwoman
    I couldn't stand to
    send you out with so little.
[12:27] Crewwoman
    I'll just sell something else at double price.
[12:30] Crewwoman
    Oh, and don't worry.
[12:33] Crewwoman
    That girl's still sleeping off
    the medicine, but she'll live.
[12:38] Crewwoman
    She was tough enough to sneak out
    the bottom of the truck,
[12:42] Crewwoman
    so she'll be up and about in no time.
[12:46] Benio
    Hey, are you gonna give me
    anything when it's my turn?
[12:50] Crewwoman
    Maybe. If I find anything
    that'd suit a bumpkin like you.
[12:55] Crewwoman
    Oh, that reminds me. The kid's off the hook.
[12:58] Crewwoman
    She and the dog can stay with us
     all the way to the capital.
[13:02] Benio
    Good for you, Touko!
[13:04] Benio
    I guess that Shouzou guy
    actually came through for you.
[13:09] Hotaru
    I'm so glad, Touko. That's great, isn't it?
[13:18] Touko
    So pretty.
[13:20] Benio
    You said it. She's gorgeous.
[13:23] Benio
    Whoever marries you should
    thank his lucky stars, Hotaru.
[13:30] Hotaru
    Benio. Touko. I'm glad I got to know you.
[13:35] Hotaru
    My village married me off to lift a curse,
    but I wouldn't have met you if they hadn't.
[13:44] Hotaru
    Getting to meet you was a blessing.
[13:50] Hotaru
    We were only together for
    a little while, but I'm truly grateful.
[13:54] Hotaru
    I hope you'll both be safe and happy.
[14:00] Narrator
    Touko and Benio didn't get
    to see Hotaru get married.
[14:05] Narrator
    All bar the locals were forbidden from
    attending weddings of curse-bearing brides.
[14:14] Narrator
    Was the ceremony grand enough
    to call it a wedding?
[14:22] Narrator
    Was the bride even welcome in her new home?
[14:26] Narrator
    They had no way of knowing.
SIGN    Koushi
[14:36] Yuoshichi

    This is where I want you

[15:16] Koushi
    May I ask a question?
[15:18] Koushi
    You said this country will fail,
    and that was why my father...
[15:24] Koushi
    Why he went into the forest alone,
    without telling his fellow hunters.
[15:29] Koushi
    But why will it fail?
[15:31] Koushi
    What will threaten the divine clans' rule?
[15:39] Koushi
    What is going to happen?
[15:42] Yuoshichi
    Have you heard of the spiders?
[15:45] Koushi
    My father said they're a worse danger
    to hunters than the fiends are.
SIGN    Spiders
[15:51] Yuoshichi
    Although they once numbered
    among the divine clans,
[15:55] Yuoshichi
    they now lurk in the forest,
    plotting to overthrow the capital's rule.
[16:00] Koushi
    So the spiders will make their move?
[16:04] Koushi
    But if they rebel,
    the divine clans who rule us will...
[16:09] Yuoshichi
    Rule? Yes, they certainly do that.

[16:31] Yuoshichi
    I suppose you've heard of the great fire
     that once ravaged the capital.
[16:37] Yuoshichi
    It was long before you were born, of course.
[16:40] Koushi
    I know what I was taught in school.
[16:43] Yuoshichi
    In a brand new factory, there was a burst
     not of fiendfire, but of natural flame.
[16:58] Yuoshichi
    It spread from person to person in the
    densely packed residential quarter.
[17:05] Yuoshichi
    The city's canals filled with the bodies
     of people trying to flee the blaze.
[17:15] Yuoshichi
    Water-wielding gods finally quenched
    the blaze by calling a rainstorm,
[17:21] Yuoshichi
    but they were too late.
[17:23] Yuoshichi
    Far too many people had already died,
     burning up like torches.
[17:27] Yuoshichi
    It was a horrible sight.
[17:31] Yuoshichi
    And I believe the divine clans
    chose to delay and let it happen.
[17:38] Koushi
    Then, you mean they...
[17:41] Yuoshichi
    They culled the excess human population.
[17:44] Yuoshichi
    The lives of the gods last
    as long as three centuries.
[17:47] Yuoshichi
    They control nature and
    possess ancient technology.
[17:53] Yuoshichi
    So why do they leave humans
    to be poisoned by the factories?
[17:58] Yuoshichi
    I've sent trustworthy fire hunters
    to investigate the spiders in secret,
[18:03] Yuoshichi
    but they haven't learned
    anything definitive yet.
[18:07] Yuoshichi
    Still, whatever they do is sure
     to cause chaos in the capital.
[18:13] Yuoshichi
    We would be fools to rely on gods
    who once culled us like weeds.
[18:20] Yuoshichi
    We need powerful weapons to
    defend ourselves with our own hands.
[18:28] Koushi
    I'll do what I can.
[18:29] Yuoshichi
    I have high hopes for you.
[18:32] Yuoshichi
    Oh, and keep this between us.
[18:35] Koushi
    I won't tell a soul.
[18:37] Yuoshichi
    I've registered you with the central archive.

    Don't mind the chief.
[20:14] Shouzou
    He's got a short fuse, but he told me
    how impressed he was with your hard work.
[20:18] Touko
    What?
[20:20] Shouzou
    He said you're more useful than I am.
[20:22] Shouzou
    Who the hell does he think
    keeps this truck in working order?
[20:28] Shouzou
    I hear we still don't know
    what fiendfire really is.
[20:32] Shouzou
    But we can run this big truck by using it
    to boil water into high-pressure steam.
[20:40] Shouzou
    In the old days, they mixed fuel
    and air to make an explosion,
[20:43] Shouzou
    and used the energy
    to run all kinds of machines.
[20:49] Shouzou
    But if we tried that now,
    we'd be toast in no time.
[20:54] Shouzou
    Now that he's got Kanata,

SIGN    Koushi and Kira
[05:27] Narrator
    Once a year, when spring rolls around,
    a ship leaves the capital,
[05:31] Narrator
    bound for an island far to the south.
[05:35] Narrator
    In the placid bay, expensive boats
    luxuriously decked out bob on the water.
[05:40] Narrator
    Onlookers often enjoy debating
    which boat is the most magnificent.
[05:50] Kira
    Here, Hinako. Try one.
[05:53] Hinako
    Okay.
[05:54] Kira
    That boat practically
    glides across the water.
[05:58] Kira
    When you're feeling better,
    you should come watch it with me.
[06:02] Hinako
    What about your family, Kira?
     Don't you have a boat?
[06:06] Kira
    We do, but my father is an awful decorator.
[06:12] Kira
    He thinks being gaudy
    and garish is all it takes.
[06:17] Kira
    I feel ashamed every time I see our boat.
[06:20] Kira
    Oh, but don't tell him I said that.
[06:25] Kira
    That goes for you, too, Koushi.
[06:26] Koushi
    I won't say a word.
[06:28] Hinako
    Honestly, Koushi. You always
    have your nose in a book.
[06:31] Kira
    Oh, that reminds me. You go to
    my father's study every afternoon.
[06:37] Kira
    What for?
[06:39] Koushi
    Huh?
[06:40] Koushi
    Oh, he lets me read his books.
[06:43] Koushi
    Mr. Kouhachi's lessons are way beyond
    what I learned at the academy,
[06:48] Koushi
    so I'm working hard to catch up to you.
[06:53] Kira
    Sugar perks up your brain and your spirits.
[06:57] Kira
    Here. Say "aah."
[07:00] Koushi
    Aah.
[07:06] Hinako
    It's sweet!
[07:09] Yuoshichi
    How are things progressing?
[07:12] Yuoshichi
    If there's anything you need,
    just say the word.
[07:16] Koushi
    In that case, I would like
    a few things, if you don't mind.
[07:20] Koushi
    I'd also like to visit the central archive
    again tomorrow afternoon.
[07:25] Yuoshichi
    Feel free.
[07:27] Yuoshichi
    You mustn't put any questions about
    this work to your tutor, after all.
[07:32] Koushi
    I know crystal plates are expensive, but...
[07:35] Yuoshichi
    Crystal plates and additional fiendfire?
[07:40] Yuoshichi
    I'll get you everything on this list
    by the end of tomorrow.
[07:43] Yuoshichi
    Keep up the good work.
[07:46] Narrator
    Colorful sweets are placed
    outside shops, pharmacies,
[07:49] Narrator
    and the little shrines to the
    city's many guardian deities,
[07:54] Narrator
    and children are free to eat
    whatever they wish.
[08:04] Koushi
    If the spiders were to invade the capital,
    how and where would they—
[08:08] Yuoshichi
    If I were in their shoes,
    I wouldn't bother infiltrating the city.
[08:12] Yuoshichi
    I'd go straight for the divine palace.
[08:14] Yuoshichi
    Striking the divine clans' stronghold
    would be my top priority.
[08:19] Koushi
    Could you get a map of the factory district
     and the area around the palace for me?
[08:24] Koushi
    I'd like one as precise as you can make it.
[08:27] Yuoshichi
    That's quite a tall order.
[08:31] Yuoshichi
    I shouldn't need to tell you
    how tight palace security is.
[08:36] Yuoshichi
    I doubt anyone has ever charted
    its surroundings in detail.
[08:42] Yuoshichi
    Still, I'll see what I can do.
[08:55] (Flashback) Hitoo
    Once, when humans possessed natural fire,
[09:00] (Flashback) Hitoo
    we spread out from our original home
     and inhabited the whole world.
[09:07] (Flashback) Hitoo
    Fire allowed us to adapt to frozen tundras
     and lands where food was scarce.
[09:14] (Flashback) Hitoo
    Yet now, swallowed by the dark forest,
[09:18] (Flashback) Hitoo
    we have no way of knowing
    what has become of other nations.
[09:23] (Flashback) Hitoo
    Seeking out news of them is
    part of the ship's yearly mission.
[09:28] (Flashback) Hitoo
    That said, the ship always
    goes to the same place:
[09:32] (Flashback) Hitoo
    a small island with people
    who speak our language.
[09:36] (Flashback) Hitoo
    Every year, we sail there to ask them
    for news, but it is always in vain.
[09:47] (Flashback) Hitoo
    The ship returns laden with island goods that
     are hardly worth the fuel burned on the trip.
[09:56] (Flashback) Hitoo
    Nevertheless, it sets out once more,
    and the capital celebrates the Boat Festival.
[10:03] (Flashback) Hitoo
    In short, that island is as far as
    modern humans can go and come back.
[10:14] (Flashback) Haijuu
    Skyfire is both flame and light.
[10:18] (Flashback) Haijuu
    Flame fiends have black blood,
    yet the fire they yield gleams like gold.
[10:27] (Flashback) Haijuu
    What could it be, I wonder?
[10:29] (Flashback) Haijuu
    Fiends rush to attack fire hunters on sight,
[10:34] (Flashback) Haijuu
    like they're mad with rage.
[10:38] (Flashback) Haijuu
    But they fall still the moment
    a sickle takes their life.
[10:44] (Flashback) Haijuu
    They never so much as spasm or groan.
[10:48] (Flashback) Haijuu
    They die and provide us
    with their golden fire.
[10:54] (Flashback) Haijuu
    Sometimes, I think the
    flame fiends might be a gift.
[11:01] (Flashback) Haijuu
    A gift from someone in ancient times
    to sustain us in this savage world once...
[11:10] (Flashback) Haijuu
    No, I shouldn't say any more.
[11:13] (Flashback) Haijuu
    The Forest God would curse me for it.

    Fiends won't attack you if you stay with us.
[13:23] Kaho

[13:27] Kaho
    What happened to my village?
[13:34] Treefolk Woman
    The white dragon guards Crystal Village.
[13:38] Treefolk Woman
    The village's ward is
    useless without its god.
[13:47] Treefolk Man
    Any village that loses
    its guardian is doomed.
[14:21] Shouzou
    That's bitter!
[14:28] Touko
    Kaho!
[14:29] Shouzou
    Hey. Are you awake?
[14:32] Shouzou
    These, uh, treefolk guys patched you up.
[14:37] Treefolk Man
    Village guardians are incarnations
    of the capital's Lady Goddess.
[14:41] Treefolk Man
    If your dragon god went mad,
    someone likely made it so.
[14:48] Treefolk Woman
    The spiders.
[14:50] Shouzou
    Did you say the spiders?
[14:52] Shouzou
    Hang on. How could the spiders
    control that dragon god?
[14:56] Touko
    What are "spiders," Mr. Shouzou?
[14:59] Shouzou
    Can it!
[15:01] Shouzou
    The spiders used to be
    one of the divine clans.
[15:03] Shouzou
    Meaning they're related to the gods.
[15:06] Shouzou
    The spiders broke with the capital and now
     they wanna turn our world upside down.
[15:10] Touko
    But they're family. Why would they fight?
[15:13] Shouzou
    Hell if I know!
[15:15] Shouzou
    So that's who got us?
    The spiders? The goddamn spiders?
[15:23] Treefolk Woman
    We will guide you to the nearest village.
[15:26] Shouzou
    And after that?

    We cannot take you any farther than that.

    "The resemblance of the fiends to
    ancient mammals backs up this theory."
[18:10] Koushi
    "Adapting to a changed environment
    turned existing animals into fiends."
[18:18] Koushi
    "Yet much about the life and habits of
    the fallbeast remains shrouded in mystery."
[18:25] Koushi
    "We nevertheless distinguish it from other
    flame fiends due to the potency of its fire."

[20:27] Hitoo
    My lungs can't handle the dust,

[20:34] Hitoo

[20:36] Hitoo
    That reminds me. A young fellow once
    begged me to let him into the archive.
[20:41] Hitoo
    I think he must have been a fire hunter.
[20:44] Koushi
    What?
[20:45] Hitoo
    He was a fine young man, with red hair
    you couldn't miss, but he smelled of dogs.
[20:54] Hitoo
    So you didn't find it, then. Oh well.

    Koushi!
[21:03] Hitoo
    Your sister seems much better.
    I'd heard she was ill.
[21:16] Kira
    Hinako wanted to come get you.
[21:19] Kira
    Because you lose track of time
    when you study, she said.
[21:26] Kira
    And since she seems to be feeling better,
[21:28] Kira
    I thought we could all go watch
     the Boat Festival while we're out.
[21:36] Koushi
    But isn't it dangerous
    for you to be out alone?
[21:39] Kira
    That's why you're coming, too.
[21:45] Narrator
    No flame fiend or fallbeast gives up its fire
    unless slain with a hunter's sickle.
[21:53] Narrator
    It is said the Lady Goddess birthed
    the first sickle from within herself.
[21:59] Narrator
    Records hold that this event coincided
    with the maturation of the first fiends,
[22:09] Narrator
    as though the goddess had been waiting
    for their life-giving flame to ripen.

[00:01] Narrator
    This world is home to humans who fear fire,
[00:04] Narrator
    and flame fiends who harbor
    a new form of fire within them.
[00:09] Narrator
    The fire hunter known as Haijuu died,
    leaving behind his sickle and his dog, Kanata.
[00:13] Narrator
    To return them to his family,
    Touko journeys to the capital.

[01:51] Kaho
    Come on, put me down. I can walk now.
[01:54] Shouzou
    Stop whining and just sit tight. You're not
    well enough yet. You'll get tired in no time.
[01:59] Shouzou
    Hey, kid. What are you gonna do next?
[02:02] Touko
    I'm going to the capital.
[02:04] Touko
    I need to give Kanata and the
    fire hunter's things back to his family.
[02:08] Shouzou
    That's easy to say, but you'll never
    make it there walking through this forest.
[02:13] Touko
    But that's why I left my village.
[02:17] Shouzou
    I mean, I wanna get back home, too.
[02:20] Shouzou
    My family needs money.
[02:22] Shouzou
    Crewing a collection truck is risky,
    but the pay's good.
[02:40] Kaho
    We're here.
[02:41] Shouzou
    Yeah.
[02:44] Kaho
    What's this?
[02:46] Shouzou
    A blow dart?
[03:25] Touko
    Kanata!
[03:28] Akira
    Don't chase him! Come back!
[03:44] Akira
    A factory worker with treefolk?
    You don't see that every day.
[03:49] Treefolk Woman
    They seem to have left.
[03:53] Treefolk Man
    They won't be back for a while.
[04:00] Touko
    Kanata!
[04:04] Shouzou
    Say, that's a fire hunter's sickle, isn't it?
[04:08] Kaho
    So that dog... is a hunting hound?
[04:14] Touko
    A fire hunter.
[04:36] Village Woman A
    Akira.
SIGN    Akira
[04:43] Village Woman A
    We quit working in our workshops at night,
[04:47] Village Woman A
    but we can't let the fires go out,
[04:49] Village Woman A
    meaning we need more of it than
    we can buy from the collection trucks.
[04:53] Village Woman A
    That's why we turn to
    roaming fire hunters like Akira.
[05:01] Village Woman A
    The trucks give us a
    fair price for our wares,
[05:06] Village Woman A
    but it's not enough to keep us going.
[05:09] Village Woman A
    Oh, but should I be saying this?
    You are from the capital.
[05:13] Shouzou
    Huh? Oh.
[05:15] Shouzou
    Well, it's true that I'm from the capital,
    but I don't know much about trucks.
[05:21] Akira
    The details can wait till tomorrow.
[05:24] Village Woman A
    Oh?
[05:25] Akira
    They must all be exhausted,
    especially after that attack.
[05:29] Village Woman A
    How inconsiderate of me.
[05:33] Shouzou
    We need to pay them.
     Do you have anything we can trade?
[05:36] Touko
    I have muku paper.
[05:38] Shouzou
    Whoa! Nice going.
[05:41] Shouzou
    I'll take a bit.
[05:42] Touko
    Uh...
[05:43] Shouzou
    Just a little.
[05:46] Village Woman A
    Goodness gracious! Is that...
[05:48] Village Woman A
    Grandpa! Look at this! It's muku paper!
[05:51] Village Woman A
    This is what the gods write on.
[05:54] Touko
    But Mr. Shouzou, shouldn't we tell them?
[05:58] Touko
    This village must be waiting
    eagerly for the trucks to come.
[06:01] Shouzou
    It's not like we can do anything for them.
[06:05] Shouzou
    Telling these villagers
    would just cause unease.
[06:10] Akira
    I saw some newly wrecked trucks
    as I wandered this way from the west.
[06:15] Akira
    I'm guessing you were on them.
[06:18] Akira
    You can tell me the whole story
    while we soak in the tub.
[06:22] Akira
    Just us women.
[06:30] Akira
    Those two could use a bath, too.
[06:36] Kaho
    The doctor told me you ran
    out of the truck to rescue me.
[06:43] Kaho
    And that man carried me
    on his back all the way here.
[06:48] Kaho
    Touko, if you're going to
    the capital, I'll join you.
[06:52] Kaho
    I want all three of us to go together.
[06:55] Akira
    How about all four of us?
[06:59] Akira
    If the capital's your
    destination, I'll help you.
[07:02] Shouzou
    Hey! What the hell?!
[07:02] Akira
    From here, you have to go through
    the forest to get anywhere.
[07:06] Akira
    And it looks like you've got spiders
    after you as well as flame fiends.
[07:12] Akira
    The treefolk will help you
    if you run into them,
[07:15] Akira
    but you can't count on them all the time.
[07:18] Akira
    So trying to make it to the capital
    on your own is basically suicide.
[07:22] Akira
    Temari and I could
    protect you on the journey.
[07:32] Touko
    Um...
[07:35] Akira
    You're quick on the uptake.
[07:36] Akira
    And yes, I'll only do it for
     some of that muku paper.
[07:40] Akira
    I don't want any trouble,
    so we'll leave early tomorrow morning.
[07:44] Touko
    But what will Mr. Shouzou say?
[07:48] Akira
    He doesn't have a death wish.
[07:50] Akira
    This deal will help him, too,
    and the payment is your muku paper.
[07:55] Akira
    Why should he complain?
[08:06] Akira
    The capital's about 7,000 units south of here.
[08:10] Shouzou
    Sure, more or less.
[08:13] Akira
    We'll cut through the forest to the sea,
    then take a boat the rest of the way.
[08:19] Akira
    If all goes well, it'll take us three days.
[08:22] Shouzou
    You have a boat?
[08:24] Akira
    There's a boat in the bay
    that any fire hunter may use.
[08:28] Akira
    We trade with each other for
    what we need, when we need it.
[08:34] Akira
    Of course, the boat ain't free.
[08:43] Akira
    Hey, how many sheets of
    muku paper you got left?
[08:46] Touko
    I had half a sheaf, so five in total,
    but I gave one to the villagers yesterday.
[08:53] Akira
    That leaves four, then.
    It'd be a shame to waste them.
[08:59] Akira
    Guess I'll hunt on the way.
[09:01] Touko
    Um, you're a fire hunter, right, Ms. Akira?
[09:05] Touko
    Have you seen this dog before?
    Its name is Kanata.
[09:09] Touko
    Do you know the fire hunter it belonged to?
[09:12] Akira
    Kanata?
[09:14] Akira
    Sorry. Not ringing any bells.
[09:17] Akira
    Your name's Touko, right?
[09:19] Akira
    How did you come to
    travel with that dog?
[09:27] Akira
    That fire hunter might have
    been after the same thing I am.
[09:32] Touko
    Muku paper?
[09:33] Akira
    Yeah.
[09:34] Touko
    What use would you and
    that fire hunter have for it?
[09:42] Akira
    I want to write a letter.
[09:45] Akira
    Strange things are happening
    in villages all over.
[09:48] Akira
    That's why yours sent you off
    to become a bride, right, Kaho?
[09:53] Akira
    I bet the world is gonna be changing
    in a big way before too much longer.
[09:58] Shouzou
    How can you tell that?
[10:01] Akira
    Because the Millennial Comet,
    the Flickering Flame, is coming home.
[10:06] Touko
    The Flickering Flame?
[10:25] Kaho
    A child?
[10:26] Shouzou
    What would a kid be doing out here?
[10:29] Akira
    Temari! Kanata! Stand guard here!
SIGN    Koushi
[11:21] Koushi
    Hinako!
[11:27] Koushi
    Hinako, put that down! Don't touch it!
[11:47] Fire Hunter B
    Well, look who it is!
    You're Haijuu's boy, right?
[11:51] Fire Hunter A
    What's wrong? You're covered in sweat
     and seem to be in a daze. Are you drunk?
[11:56] Koushi
    Oh, no, I'm just not feeling too well.
[11:59] Fire Hunter C
    What was Haijuu thinking, running off
    and leaving his sick wife like that?
[12:03] Fire Hunter c
    Must've been hard on you and your sister.
[12:06] Fire Hunter D
    He always loved long journeys.
    Probably off hunting somewhere as we speak.
[12:07] Koushi
    It wasn't real. I was dreaming.
[12:10] Koushi
    Maybe it's because
    I feel so out of place here.
[12:12] Fire Hunter C
    I'm sorry for your loss, but your kid sister
     will be safe here with the Okibis.
[12:17] Fire Hunter A
    You've really moved up in the world.
[12:19] Fire Hunter C
    Man, here you are in this big mansion
    and you still look like a scarecrow.
[12:25] Fire Hunter C
    You oughta fatten up a bit.
[12:31] Kira
    Koushi!
[12:34] Kira
    Sirs, may Koushi and I give
    our regards to your dogs?
[12:38] Fire Hunter C
    Go ahead. You sure are a
    dyed-in-the-wool dog lover, Miss Kira.
[12:43] Fire Hunter D
    The dogs will love getting some
    attention from a nice girl like you.
[12:48] Kira
    Come on, Koushi.
[12:50] Kira
    Hurry up!
[12:54] Kira
    Shimaki, Tatsuta, Iwao, Kagura.
[13:00] Koushi
    I never knew you liked dogs so much.
[13:04] Kira
    I like all animals.
[13:06] Kira
    I'd love to keep a pet here,
[13:09] Kira
    but my mother can't stand them.
[13:12] Kira
    Your family had a dog, too, right?
[13:17] Koushi
    Kanata.
[13:19] Kira
    Kanata? What a lovely name.
[13:22] Koushi
    Yeah.
[13:24] Kira
    Oh, I haven't seen you before.
    You're gorgeous.
[13:32] Kira
    I wonder which fire hunter you belong to.
[13:35] Hibana
    Kira! Show our guests some attention!
[13:38] Hibana
    Kira!
[13:39] Kira
    Coming!
[13:41] Kira
    I'm sorry, Koushi. I need to go.
[13:48] Roroku
    I hear the master of the house
    has taken you under his wing.
[13:53] Roroku
    Impressive for a kid your age.
[13:56] Koushi
    The other fire hunters are over there.
[13:59] Roroku
    I'm not a party guest.
    I came to talk business.
[14:03] Roroku
    I got turned away at the gate, though.
[14:06] Roroku
    I've got skyfire to sell.
[14:09] Koushi
    Skyfire?
[14:11] Koushi
    You hunt fallbeasts?
[14:14] Roroku
    Yeah. I do.
[14:21] Koushi
    Excuse me, but could you
    teach me about skyfire?
[14:36] Roroku
    The name's Roroku. This is Mizore.
SIGN    Roroku
[14:44] Roroku
    If you want to learn about fallbeasts
    and skyfire, why not join me on a hunt?
SIGN    Touko
[14:54] Shouzou
    What'd you pick up this kid for?
[14:57] Akira
    He's wearing a flame fiend pelt.
[15:00] Akira
    Which means he's a spider.
[15:04] Akira
    In a pinch, we can use him as a hostage.
[15:07] Shouzou
    Have we made it?
[15:11] Shouzou
    Yes! We're here...
[15:15] Shouzou
    No way.
[15:17] Akira
    Wait here!
[15:30] Shouzou
    What the hell happened here?
[15:41] Shouzou
    The bodies are all burned to a crisp.
    People, dogs, even fiends.
[15:51] Akira
    Hey! Is anybody still alive?!
[16:10] Touko
    Kanata.
[16:12] Shouzou
    It was the spiders.
[16:15] Shouzou
    But how?
[16:16] Shouzou
    Hey, brat! Tell me!
[16:19] Shouzou
    How come the spiders can use fire?!
[16:21] Shouzou
    Well?! Say something!
[16:21] Kaho
    Stop that. This child isn't
    going to know anything.
[16:25] Shouzou
    Hey!
[16:26] Kun
    Bugs.
[16:31] Kun
    Bugs that make it so your body doesn't burn.
[16:35] Kun
    Everyone made the bugs bite them
[16:40] Kun
    so they could use fire
    that's not from fiends.
[16:44] Shouzou
    You mean you guys did all this?
[16:50] Shouzou
    You sicced fiends on the hunters,
    then set a fire to kill them all?
[16:55] Shouzou
    So you really were behind
    the attack on our trucks!
[16:58] Kaho
    Adults did that!
[17:00] Kaho
    There's not point blaming a little kid!
[17:04] Kaho
    He was probably abandoned
    in the forest to fend for himself.
[17:08] Shouzou
    Why? Why would they do that?
[17:14] Akira
    Hurry! Get to the boat!
[17:19] Shouzou
    Move it!
[17:20] Kaho
    Right.
[17:44] Akira
    What's wrong with these fiends?
    They're overly vicious.
[18:52] Kaho
    Shouzou! Shouzou!
[18:55] Kaho
    No. You can't die!
[18:58] Kaho
    Don't die.
[18:59] Kaho
    Calm down. Don't move him.
[19:03] Shouzou
    It hurts. It hurts so bad.
[19:07] Kaho
    Don't die.
[19:45] Akira
    Sorry. I talked big, but I didn't do
    a great job of protecting you.
[19:50] Akira
    I never expected the spiders to control
    fiends and send them to attack the bay.
[20:00] Akira
    You really surprised me, Touko.
[20:04] Touko
    Huh?
[20:05] Akira
    You know, you just might have—
[20:08] Touko
    Um, I'm supposed to keep this sickle safe.
[20:12] Touko
    Will the fire hunter's family
    get mad at me for using it?
[20:18] Akira
    Hunters share with each other to get by.
[20:22] Akira
    That even goes for sickles and hounds.
[20:25] Akira
    I got Temari here from another hunter.
[20:30] Akira
    Temari's supposed to be
    the last of an ancient lapdog breed.
[20:35] Akira
    And you know...
[20:37] Akira
    My sickle isn't really mine, either.
     It's a memento.
[20:44] Touko
    A memento?
[20:45] Akira
    Of my big brother. He was a fire hunter.
[20:51] Kun
    I'm hungry.
[20:55] Touko
    Sorry. We don't have any food right now.
[21:02] Touko
    What's your name?
[21:05] Kun
    Kun.
SIGN    Kun
[21:09] Touko
    Kun, did you hurt your arm earlier?
[21:14] Kun
    All the others got the bugs
    to bite them so they didn't burn.
[21:20] Kun
    I'm the only one the venom didn't work on.
[21:24] Kun
    My mom said I was too in tune with
    the bugs, so the forest could have me.
[21:32] Kaho
    I knew it.

SIGN    Touko and Kira
[02:05] Kira
    What a fine dog. It looks so
    strong and clever. Is it yours?
[02:11] Touko
    N-No. Um, this dog is lost, like me.
[02:17] Kira
    So the two of you got lost together, huh?
[02:21] Kira
    And that's why you're crying?
[02:24] Touko
    A strange man chased us.
    He had black clothes and a club.
[02:30] Kira
    You must mean a watchman.
[02:32] Kira
    Don't be scared of them. They only go after
     people who have done something wrong.
[02:37] Kira
    Here, eat this and cheer up.
[02:45] Kira
    What's your name?
[02:48] Touko
    Touko.

    How do you write that?
SIGN    Touko
[03:02] Kira
    Touko. "Lamp child."
[03:05] Kira
    What a lovely name.
[03:10] Kira
    I'm Kira.
[03:12] Kira
    Where would you like to get back to?
    I can give you directions.
[03:15] Kira
    Although I don't come here often either,
    so they might not be very good.
[03:22] Touko
    Um, I think Kanata...
    I think this dog remembers the way.
[03:30] Kira
    Kanata, be a good guide for Touko, all right?
SIGN    Kira and Koushi
[03:37] Kira
    Would you like some water?
[03:39] Kira
    I couldn't believe it when
    that fire hunter carried you in.
[03:44] Kira
    But Dr. Takimi says
    all you need is a little rest.
[03:53] Kira
    Koushi.
[03:57] Kira
    You haven't told me anything.
[04:00] Kira
    What happened out in the forest?
[04:02] Kira
    What is my father making you do?
[04:08] Kira
    He's upset, but it's not because
    that hunter, Roroku, put you in danger.
[04:14] Kira
    He can't stand that something
     happened to you beyond his reach.
[04:20] Kira
    He thinks he owns you.
[04:32] Kira
    It's still not too late.
[04:34] Kira
    My father is the one keeping secrets
    from the gods, not that hunter.
[04:40] Kira
    If even I know that, my father needs
    to be careful about blaming others.
[04:46] Kira
    I love my parents.
[04:49] Kira
    They both worked hard
    in order to live how they do now,
[04:53] Kira
    and I'm sure they're a bit odd because of it.
[04:57] Kira
    But I think they're wonderful
    people. I respect them.
[05:04] Koushi
    If the time comes...
[05:05] Kira
    What?
[05:08] Koushi
    If I can ever speak about it you, then...
[05:13] Kira
    I ran into a lost little girl in town earlier.
[05:17] Kira
    She had a dog with her. A strong, kind, gray dog
     that seemed a little too majestic for her.
[05:25] Kira
    I'm sure it was a hunting hound.
[05:28] Kira
    And she called it Kanata,
    just like your family's dog.
[05:35] Koushi
    Kanata?
SIGN    Koushi and Yuoshichi
[05:38] Yuoshichi
    So in short, you snuck out
    of the house on your own
[05:42] Yuoshichi
    and asked that man to
    take you into the forest?
[05:46] Koushi
    I thought that if I went there myself,
    I might learn something about fallbeasts
[05:50] Koushi
    that I can't read about
     in the central archive.
[05:53] Koushi
    I did find something.
[05:55] Koushi
    And I absolutely need Mr. Roroku's help.
[06:02] Koushi
    There's a fallbeast with skyfire in here.
[06:05] Koushi
    I don't know who drew it,
[06:08] Koushi
    but this beast's body
    is covered in lightning.
[06:13] Koushi
    Fallbeasts swoop down with lightning bolts.
[06:16] Koushi
    Which means skyfire may be at its most potent
     when falling from the sky as lightning.
[06:25] Yuoshichi
    Perhaps.
[06:27] Koushi
    True, my imagination
    may be running away with me.
[06:30] Koushi
    But this drawing matches what
    I've observed in the laboratory.
[06:36] Koushi
    The spider said they had mastered fire.
[06:39] Koushi
    Not fiendfire, but the natural flame
    humans have used since ancient times.
[06:45] Koushi
    And he claimed they no longer
    combust in its presence.
[06:54] Yuoshichi
    So...
[06:56] Yuoshichi
    Will your skyfire idea work
    against spiders who don't burn?
[07:02] Koushi
    Even if they don't burn, they can't survive
    the lightning strike the skyfire will create.
[07:12] Yuoshichi
    Hm?
[07:14] Yuoshichi
    What's this?
[07:15] Koushi
    In the ancient world, humans supposedly
    struck at their enemies from the skies.
[07:20] Yuoshichi
    But how will you use it?
[07:22] Yuoshichi
    Even assuming we can
    launch skyfire into the air,
[07:26] Yuoshichi
    how will we make it fall onto the target?
[07:31] Koushi
    We'll bury bottled lightning around the
    palace and factory district in advance.
[07:39] Koushi
    And for that job... I'd like Mr. Roroku's help.
[07:47] Koushi
    You should be able to work
    without the spies seeing you.
[07:54] Yuoshichi
    Koushi, Roroku is a roaming
    fire hunter from the islands.
[08:00] Yuoshichi
    He doesn't seem worthy of
    placing that much trust in him.
[08:05] Koushi
    I didn't experience the great fire
    that once ravaged the capital.
[08:09] Koushi
    I've only read about it.
[08:12] Koushi
    But you've felt it, haven't you?
    The terror of that disaster.
[08:21] Yuoshichi
    People deify whatever they can't control.
[08:26] Yuoshichi
    To defend our city from the gods and
    the spiders who wield those wild forces,
[08:33] Yuoshichi
    perhaps lightning is a fitting weapon.
[08:37] Yuoshichi
    This place is for us humans to live in,
    not for the gods to rest on their laurels.
[08:43] Yuoshichi
    The invasion will begin soon.
[08:47] Roroku
    Sounds like we have a deal.
[08:51] Roroku
    He's got more guts
    than I gave him credit for.
[08:55] Roroku
    Not just anyone can bargain with Mr. Okibi.
[08:59] Koushi
    I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
[09:03] Roroku
    At first, I thought if the capital's
    gonna burn, I want a front row seat.
[09:08] Roroku
    But I've changed my mind.
[09:12] Roroku
    See you.

SIGN    I
SIGN    E
[09:30] Shouzou's Mother
    about spiders dead in the forest,
     while others invade the city.
[09:35] Shouzou's Mother
    Oh, what's the world coming to?
[09:38] Touko
    Take care.
[10:08] Akira
    Oh? You changed back into your old clothes?
[10:11] Touko
    Oh, welcome back.
    I feel more comfortable in this.
[10:16] Akira
    But you looked good in a skirt.
[10:21] Touko
    Kaho! Ms. Akira is back!
[10:26] Akira
    Kun! Time for lunch!
[10:35] Touko
    It's delicious.
[10:37] Akira
    I used to buy food from this stand all the
     time when I worked in one of the factories.
[10:41] Kun
    There were lots of funny-smelling people.
[10:44] Touko
    What did they smell like?
[10:46] Akira
    They were asafuyou dealers.
[10:48] Akira
    It's a drug that makes you hallucinate.
[10:51] Akira
    Kun, even if they offer you
    sweets, whatever you do...
[10:55] Kun
    Don't go with them.
[10:57] Akira
    That's right.
[10:59] Touko
    You used to work in a factory, Ms. Akira?
[11:03] Akira
    A long time ago. Before I left
    the capital to start roaming.
[11:08] Touko
    You said you wanted to write a letter on
     muku paper and take it to the palace.
[11:15] Touko
    Shouldn't you go do that?
[11:16] Akira
    Shouzou isn't out of the woods yet.
[11:20] Akira
    I let him get hurt bad,
    even though I promised I'd protect him.
[11:25] Akira
    And his folks are sheltering us.
    I can't just run out on them like that.
[11:32] Touko
    Mr. Shouzou got hurt protecting us.
[11:36] Kaho
    You did your share of fighting.
[11:39] Kaho
    So did Akira, Shouzou, Kanata,
    and Temari. You all fought hard.
[11:45] Kaho
    That's why we're all alive
    here in the capital now.
[12:03] Touko
    Do you think Mr. Shouzou will wake up?
[12:06] Kaho
    He will.
[12:08] Kaho
    Even I woke up.
[12:10] Kaho
    The truck doctor said
    I might end up just wasting away,
[12:15] Kaho
    but here I am, taking care of people.
[12:21] Kaho
    I'm going to marry him.
[12:24] Touko
    Huh?
[12:26] Kaho
    Ever since I got shipped off as a bride,
    all I've thought about is dying.
[12:34] Kaho
    But I've made it all this way
    because people have kept helping me.
[12:40] Kaho
    Even when Shouzou eventually wakes up,
    he won't be able to move like before.
[12:46] Kaho
    So this time, I'll be the one who helps him.
[12:51] Kaho
    I'll stay with him even
    if he never wakes up.
[12:55] Kaho
    I've made up my mind.
[12:57] Touko
    He'll love that.
[13:00] Touko
    Mr. Shouzou will be over the moon
    when he wakes up and hears that.
[13:05] Touko
    I mean, you're gorgeous.
[13:07] Touko
    He won't believe his luck.
[13:14] Akira
    I'm going out again. And not for
    food this time, so I'll leave Kun here.
[13:22] Akira
    I've gotta go hunting to pay the doctor.
[13:24] Touko
    But is that safe, Ms. Akira?
[13:28] Akira
    Worried about spiders?
[13:31] Akira
    True, those rumors about spiders roaming
    the forest near the capital seem credible.
[13:38] Akira
    But all the more reason
    why I've gotta do my hunting now.
[13:42] Touko
    Please take Kanata with you.
[13:45] Touko
    Kanata worked with another
    fire hunter on the collection truck.
[13:50] Akira
    That dog came all this way with you
     to get back to its family.
[13:55] Akira
    We helped each other on the journey,
    but Kanata isn't ours to order around.
[14:03] Akira
    Besides...
[14:05] Akira
    Kanata doesn't get along
    all that well with Temari.
[14:12] Akira
    I'll be back this evening.
[14:21] Touko
    What are you up to, Kun?
[14:23] Kun
    Picking my bug familiars.
[14:26] Touko
    Your what?
[14:27] Kun
    Since the big lady went out,
[14:30] Kun
    I'll get bugs to watch out for danger.
[14:34] Kun
    I'll pick the strongest.
[14:36] Kun
    This one.
[14:56] Touko
    Kanata, take me back
    there again. To your house.
[15:03] Touko
    Ms. Akira is right.
    You need to go back to your family.
SIGN    Touko and Koushi
[16:24] Touko
    You can still smell your owners.
[16:50] Koushi
    Kanata!
[16:51] Koushi
    You, too! Hurry!
[16:53] Koushi
    This way!
[17:00] Koushi
    Hurry up!
[17:10] Koushi
    Come on!
[17:54] Koushi
    You're a fast runner.
[17:58] Touko
    What was that?
[18:01] Koushi
    A spy. One of the gods' familiars.
[18:06] Touko
    A spy?
[18:08] Koushi
    Yes. It was probably watching me.
[18:13] Koushi
    Kanata... So the dog Kira saw really was you.
[18:19] Koushi
    You came home.
[18:21] Touko
    Are you related to his fire hunter?
[18:25] Koushi
    Yes, although that's nothing to brag about.
[18:29] Koushi
    My name is Koushi. This dog belongs
    to my father, Haijuu the fire hunter.
[18:36] Touko
    Your father saved my life!
[18:40] Touko
    I was attacked by
    a flame fiend in the forest!
[18:44] Touko
    The fire hunter was wounded and...
[18:50] Touko
    He passed away there.
[18:54] Touko
    H-His grave is in my village.
[18:56] Touko
    He died saving me! I'm sorry!
[18:59] Touko
    I'm so sorry!
[19:03] Touko
    I-I brought you his sickle and warding stone.
[19:06] Touko
    G-Give me a second.
[19:08] Touko
    I really am sorry!
[19:11] Touko
    Here. I've come to return
    this sickle and Kanata.
[19:24] Koushi
    So that's it. My dad died saving you.
[19:29] Koushi
    In that case, I'm glad.
[19:31] Touko
    Huh?
[19:35] Koushi
    Thank you for bringing Kanata back.
[19:38] Koushi
    My sister will be overjoyed.
[19:41] Koushi
    I thought my dad had abandoned us.
[19:45] Koushi
    I've hated him all this time.
    But it turns out he died helping someone.
[19:50] Koushi
    Thank you for telling me.
[19:53] Touko
    I owe the fire hunter my life.
[19:56] Touko
    He was a great man.
[19:59] Koushi
    Hey.
[20:02] Koushi
    Your name is Touko, right?
[20:04] Touko
    Huh?
[20:05] Koushi
    Touko, written "lamp child."
[20:08] Koushi
    Kira is good at remembering
    people's names by their meaning.
[20:13] Touko
    Then, you're friends with
     that lady, Mr. Koushi?
[20:20] Koushi
    You should leave the capital
    as soon as you can.
[20:24] Koushi
    Fighting is going to break out here soon.
     Against people known as "spiders."
[20:29] Touko
    Huh?
[20:30] Touko
    Spiders use fire. Real fire.
[20:35] Touko
    If they're coming here,
    you'll be in danger, too.
[20:40] Koushi
    How... do you know that?
[20:44] Koushi
    Who in the world...
[20:50] Koushi
    Anyway, let's go somewhere else.
[20:53] Koushi
    Another spy will find us if we stay here.
[21:01] Koushi
    Were we spotted?
[21:03] Touko
    That was...
[21:04] Touko
    one of the treefolk! It's the treefolk!
[21:07] Koushi
    "Treefolk"? Hey, wait!
[21:09] Touko
    I remember now. The treefolk said
    they had friends in the capital.
[21:15] Touko
    In the "forbidden quarter," I think.
[21:19] Touko
    That was definitely one of the treefolk.
[21:22] Touko
    They bring medicine to the villages!
[21:24] Koushi
    Wait. I'm telling you we'll be spotted.
[21:27] Touko
    The treefolk might have
    medicine for Mr. Shouzou!
[21:37] Koushi
    Kanata?
[21:39] Touko
    Kanata!
[21:41] Koushi
    I know where the forbidden quarter is.
[21:44] Koushi
    You'd just get lost if you tried
    to follow that person on your own.
[21:49] Koushi
    I'll take you there. In exchange,
    please tell me about the spiders' fire.

    At last, Touko has met Koushi, a member
    of the hound Kanata's family, in the capital.
[00:08] Narrator
    But she has also encountered a new wonder:
    the divine clans and their "spies."

[01:51] Narrator
    The capital's largest canal separates
    the residential and industrial districts.
[01:56] Narrator
    Beyond the long bridge that spans it
[01:59] Narrator
    lies a sprawling expanse of factories
    crisscrossed by waterways.
[02:08] Touko
    Mister, is this the land of the dead?
[02:12] Koushi
    No, it's the factory district, although
    people call it the "Garden of the Gods."
[02:18] Koushi
    It connects to the forest, too.
[02:21] Koushi
    There's a tunnel to the south that
    fire hunters and collection trucks use.
[02:29] Koushi
    You can just call me Koushi, by the way.
[02:32] Touko
    Koushi.
[02:33] Koushi
    The "kou" means "a great blaze,"
    and the "shi" means "security and perfection."
[02:39] Koushi
    Kira taught me that.
[02:41] Touko
    A great blaze?
[02:42] Koushi
    Yes, though I don't know what kind of fire.
[02:45] Touko
    That thing you threw was like lightning.
[02:50] Koushi
    That was bottled lightning.
    As you saw, it makes a flash on impact.
[02:56] Koushi
    It's like bottled fiendfire,
     but it's full of skyfire instead.
[03:02] Touko
    Bottled skyfire? But that's so valuable.
[03:07] Koushi
    That spy earlier was
    really just a piece of paper.
[03:11] Koushi
    A god controls it, but it turns back
    into paper if you break the spell.
[03:17] Koushi
    I'm just glad the bottled lightning worked.
[03:44] Koushi
    You came for medicine, right?
[03:46] Touko
    Someone who did a lot for me is badly hurt.
[03:51] Koushi
    The treefolk help villagers with medicine.
[03:54] Koushi
    And they have ancient knowledge.
    Things only the gods know.
[03:59] Touko
    Even about the Flickering Flame?
[04:01] Koushi
    Huh? How do you know about that?
[04:08] Koushi
    That's the break signal. Let's hurry.
[04:26] Koushi
    It's no good.
[04:27] Koushi
    It's totally rusted shut.
[04:37] Koushi
    Kanata, is that the way?
[04:44] Touko
    One of the treefolk.
[04:50] Touko
    Mr. Treefolk, I need medicine!
[04:52] Touko
    My friend is really hurt!
    Will you please share some medicine with me?
[05:00] Koushi
    Let's go.
SIGN    Touko and the Treefolk
[05:10] Touko
    Kanata and I got a ride
    on the collection truck.
[05:15] Touko
    It wasn't just us. There were women
    who'd been sent off to be married, too.
[05:22] Touko
    Then, Kaho's village guardian,
     the dragon god...
[05:29] Koushi
    I can't believe the spiders turned
    a guardian deity against a collection truck.
[05:34] Koushi
    But if that fire hunter, Akira, is right...
[05:39] Koushi
    I wonder what my father wanted
    to write on muku paper, and to whom.
[05:45] Touko
    In my village, they say it's an offering
    for the Lady Goddess to write on.
[05:50] Koushi
    The Lady Goddess, Tayurahime, writes
    prayers. Poems that praise the world.
[05:57] Koushi
    Supposedly, her life allows the
    divine clans to rule with their powers,
[06:02] Koushi
    and her sister, Tokohanahime,
    was the very first fire hunter.
[06:14] Koushi
    Tokohanahime used natural flame
    to forge a sickle while her body burned.
[06:20] Koushi
    She vanished from the world
    but left these dying words:
[06:26] Koushi
    "With the fire of the Millennial Comet,
    we need no longer fear the dark forest."
[06:32] Koushi
    "And whoever catches it shall become
    known as the lord of the fire hunters."
[06:38] Koushi
    "This lord shall harvest
     the Flickering Flame."
[06:53] Touko
    These aren't tree trunks. Are they roots?
[07:03] Mukuge
    Do not growl. En will do no mischief.
[07:08] Koushi
    Over there.
[07:09] Mukuge
    Visitors. Shuyu has brought a rare find.
[07:16] Gomuju
    Summon Kiri.
[07:19] Kiri
    Humans?
[07:21] Mukuge
    Guests. Shuyu brought them.
[07:25] Kiri
    Ugh. This is why I told you not to keep birds.
[07:29] Kiri
    There must be a better way to kill time.
[07:34] Kiri
    So, what do you humans want?
[07:37] Koushi
    This girl wants medicine.
[07:39] Koushi
    And I was hoping to ask you some questions.
[07:43] Kiri
    We have no medicine to give you here.
[07:47] Kiri
    Only the successes sent to the
    forest were taught medicine.
[07:54] Touko
    "Successes"? What do you mean?
[07:58] Koushi
    Then tell me about this world.
[08:01] Kiri
    Tell you what?
[08:02] Koushi
    War is coming on the surface.
    Haven't the gods told you anything?
[08:08] Kiri
    The divine clans? They don't tell
    treefolk what happens in the capital.
[08:16] Kiri
    We're not like the test groups...
    the ones sent to help villagers.
[08:25] Kiri
    We're failed experiments.
[08:28] Kiri
    The gods were too ashamed
    to let us see the light of day,
[08:31] Kiri
    so they shut us up here
    in the forbidden quarter.
[08:36] Kiri
    Shuyu! Never go out again.
    And never bring humans here!
[08:43] Touko
    Wait. Please wait!
[08:45] Kiri
    Can it. I don't know what you've been told,
     but we don't enjoy the divine clans' favor.
[08:55] Gomuju
    Moles.
[08:56] Kiri
    Moles?
[09:00] Kiri
    Oh, that's who this is?
[09:02] Kiri
    The ones burying bottled lightning all over?
[09:07] Kiri
    We can tell through the tree roots.
[09:11] Kiri
    That's a secret, right?
[09:13] Kiri
    If you don't want the gods finding out,
     stop nosing around down here.
[09:19] Kiri
    We don't care what happens
    to the surface world.
[09:24] Kiri
    En, chase them out.
[09:57] Yanagi
    Stop.
[09:59] Yanagi
    That child has a sickle. You'll get En hurt.
[10:08] Gomuju
    Yanagi.
[10:10] Yanagi
    As Kiri said, we failed treefolk
    are locked up down here.
[10:18] Yanagi
    Though, unlike Gomuju and me,
    Kiri and Shuyu might survive in the forest.
[10:26] Kiri
    This stuff keeps growing
    no matter how much I cut it back.
[10:30] Kiri
    It hurts, and it's always in the way.
[10:33] Kiri
    And Shuyu's still a baby inside and out.
     That pipsqueak can't hack it out there.
[10:41] Yanagi
    You crossed the forest, didn't you?
    You smell of our brethren.
[10:48] Yanagi
    I'm sorry we can't give you medicine.
[10:52] Yanagi
    Back when the world died, the gods tried
    to entrust fire to the surviving beasts.
[11:01] Yanagi
    Wild animals once gave humans fire.
[11:06] Yanagi
    The gods acted out those tales in reverse.
[11:11] Yanagi
    Humans and gods alike became
    combustible and lost the use of fire.
[11:19] Yanagi
    To rid themselves of the abominable flame,
    they returned it to the beasts.
[11:26] Koushi
    Are you saying the gods created
    the flame fiends of the forest, too?
[11:32] Yanagi
    And so, the flame fiends were born.
[11:35] Yanagi
    Never-before-seen creatures, adapted
    to the dark forest and bearing fire within.
[11:44] Yanagi
    Though I doubt the gods predicted
    their fire would take the form it has now.
[11:53] Koushi
    But then, why did Tokohanahime
    create the fire sickles?
[11:58] Yanagi
    Tokohanahime discovered that the
    fire in beasts no longer ignited people.
[12:05] Yanagi
    She forged her sickle to
    keep the human race alive.
[12:10] Yanagi
    Humans had lost fire and the dark forest had
    swallowed up their homes, but they lived on.
[12:18] Yanagi
    Perhaps their strength lit a fire
    in the Lady Goddess's heart.
[12:24] Yanagi
    Like you humans, the divine clans
    feared the world would truly die.
[12:33] Koushi
    You mean, the gods made this world?
    They made it the way it is now?
[12:39] Yanagi
    I think ancient humans must have
    been as cruel and reckless as the gods.
[12:48] Yanagi
    To efficiently slay their enemies
    and cull the excess population,
[12:55] Yanagi
    they used pathogens to create bodies
    that would ignite in the presence of fire.
[13:02] Yanagi
    If they'd gotten their way,
    unnecessary humans would have vanished,
[13:08] Yanagi
    leaving only the worthy
    living on this planet.
[13:40] Koushi
    There's a good doctor
    at the mansion I live in.
[13:45] Koushi
    I might be able to get medicine from him.
    Or I could ask him to treat your friend.
[14:06] Koushi
    Run!
[14:34] Touko
    Temari!
[14:41] Akira
    Touko, you dummy! Where've you been?!
[14:44] Touko
    Ms. Akira!
[14:46] Touko
    What are you doing here?
[14:47] Akira
    I told you to take care of Kun!
[14:50] Akira
    You can make excuses later.
[14:52] Akira
    Kanata! Temari! Protect the kids!
[15:37] Hibari
    I think that's quite enough.
[15:50] Hibari
    And you, fire hunter. Don't shed
    unclean blood before the Lady Goddess.
[16:06] Hibari
    A fine dog. White beasts
    please the Lady Goddess.
[16:12] Hibari
    Leave at once.
[16:43] Koushi
    That was a god...
[16:48] Akira
    Wow. Nice place ya got here.
[16:53] Akira
    Doesn't this house belong to one
    of the richest guys in the capital?
[16:57] Koushi
    Yes, but I'm not part of the family.
     I just live with them.
[17:02] Akira
    So they've basically adopted you,
    but you won't inherit anything?
[17:08] Koushi
    That's why I have to make myself useful.
[17:18] Akira
    Go on, Touko.
[17:20] Touko
    Thank you so, so much for
    taking me to see the treefolk.
[17:35] Koushi
    Could you hold on to it?
[17:38] Touko
    Huh?
[17:39] Koushi
    I have a feeling you'll find
    more use for it than I will.
[17:43] Koushi
    As things stand, if it gets out that
    you brought my father's things here,
[17:48] Koushi
    you might find yourselves
    in trouble sooner or later.
[17:55] Koushi
    And take these.
[17:59] Touko
    I-I can't accept those!
[18:07] Akira
    Take 'em, Touko.
[18:09] Koushi
    Thank you for traveling so far.
[18:13] Koushi
    And for bringing Kanata back.
[18:40] Akira
    I'm impressed, Touko.
[18:43] Akira
    Saying goodbye to a dog isn't easy.
[18:51] Akira
    You're just a kid, but you left your village
    and came all this way through the dark forest.
[19:00] Akira
    Well done.
[19:08] Akira
    Now, let's go back. I'll carry you.
[19:11] Touko
    I-It's okay. I can walk.
[19:14] Akira
    You think I can walk alongside you
     with you crying like that?
[19:18] Akira
    The watch'll be wondering what I did to you.

[19:38] Akira

[19:44] Kaho
    Kun stopped moving, and as soon as
    he snapped out of it, he threw a fit.
[19:52] Kaho
    Is Touko asleep?
[19:56] Kaho
    Wait, where's Kanata?
[20:08] Kaho
    Touko.
[20:19] Touko
    I can hear him.
[20:22] Kaho
    What?
[20:29] Akira
    Shouzou.
[20:39] Shouzou
    Shit! The pain!
[20:42] Shouzou
    What the hell happened?
[20:47] Shouzou
    I'm hurting and I'm hungry.
[20:49] Kaho
    Hey. Is that all you have to say?
[20:52] Akira
    Seriously. I'm not one to talk
    since I screwed up guarding you,
[20:56] Akira
    but try not to make this too hard on Kaho.
[21:08] Kunugi
    Seeing the world like this
    angers the Flickering Flame.
[21:14] Kunugi
    Tayurahime continues to
    write letters to appease it.
[21:21] Kunugi
    If the Flickering Flame lashes out,
    the world will be incinerated once more.
[21:27] Kunugi
    The divine clans fear that prospect.
[21:32] Kunugi
    I know.
[21:34] Kunugi
    The lord of the fire hunters will soon appear,
[21:38] Kunugi
    just as Tokohanahime desired
     when she coined the title.
[21:44] Kunugi
    Humans will plead with the
    Flickering Flame in the gods' place.
[21:49] Kunugi
    The lord will beg its forgiveness.
[21:54] Kunugi
    But the Flickering Flame will not listen.
    Its fury will not abate.
[22:01] Kunugi
    Let it burn up the world if it wishes.
[22:06] Kunugi
    Light the beacon.
    Light the fire to welcome the star!

    I recognize this dog.
     Your father's, I believe?
[01:59] Yuoshichi
    So your father left by
     the cliff tunnel, did he?
[02:03] Yuoshichi
    But since only his hound made it back...
[02:15] Hibana
    Couldn't you ask that fire hunter,
    Roroku, to take care of the dog?
[02:20] Kira
    Mother, please.
[02:23] Hibana
    Forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt
    Koushi and Hinako's feelings.
[02:30] Hibana
    I simply can't stand animals.
[02:33] Yuoshichi
    Be that as it may, the dog means
    a lot to Koushi and his sister.
[02:37] Yuoshichi
    I don't see why they shouldn't
     be allowed to keep it.
[02:41] Yuoshichi
    What's a dog or two around the house?
[02:44] Hibana
    This makes three strays you've taken in.
[02:50] Yuoshichi
    Give the dog a bath. We'll feed it after.
[02:55] Hinako
    Can I keep Kanata in my room?
[02:59] Yuoshichi
    Well, all right. I'll allow it.
[03:02] Yuoshichi
    It will probably be better for your health.
[03:22] Koushi
    Hinako, Dad died out in the forest.
[03:31] Koushi
    Hinako?
[03:38] Koushi
    Aren't you glad Kanata came home?
[03:44] Koushi
    I need to thank the people who brought
    Kanata back to us the next time I see them.
[03:49] Koushi
    Climb into bed before you fall asleep, okay?
[04:18] Koushi
    I'm sorry I'm late.
[04:21] Roroku
    Hi there, boy.
[04:24] Akira
    Nice to meet you.
[04:26] Roroku
    As I was just telling Mr. Okibi,
[04:29] Roroku
    this girl's a fire hunter,
    and she has important news.
[04:37] Yuoshichi
    This seems urgent,
    so feel free to cut to the chase.
[04:47] Akira
    The spiders are on the move.
[04:51] Akira
    I saw collection trucks attacked
    by a dragon in the western forest.
[04:54] Yuoshichi
    Trucks under attack?
[04:57] Akira
    Both cars were horribly wrecked.
[05:00] Akira
    I think the dragon was a guardian deity.
[05:03] Akira
    The spiders may have used
    venomous bugs to control it.
[05:07] Akira
    A lot of fire hunters were killed, too.
    Burned alive at a cove in the forest.
[05:11] Akira
    Did you know that the spiders can
    safely use the old fire now, Mr. Okibi?
[05:18] Yuoshichi
    You expect me to believe
    a guardian destroyed trucks
[05:21] Yuoshichi
    and spiders used the ancient
    flame to massacre hunters?
[05:26] Akira
    As things stand, the villages
    waiting for their fire won't get it.
[05:31] Akira
    I'd like you to send out
    new trucks immediately.
[05:36] Yuoshichi
    Shouldn't you be making that
    request to the divine clans instead?
[05:41] Akira
    That would take too long.
[05:43] Akira
    The gods must have noticed an attack by
     one of the Lady Goddess's possessed beasts,
[05:49] Akira
    but they don't seem to
    have done anything about it.
[05:53] Roroku
    Sounds like we can't
    count on the divine clans.

[06:16] Yuoshichi
    The capital's factories might benefit
    if we earned their gratitude.
[06:23] Yuoshichi
    You say you're a roaming fire hunter.
[06:26] Yuoshichi
    Would you investigate the
    spiders further on my behalf?
[06:30] Akira
    Only if you send the trucks.
[06:33] Yuoshichi
    I'll start making the preparations tomorrow.
[06:36] Akira
    It took me two days to
    sail here from the cove.
[06:40] Akira
    If the spiders are coming, they'll gather
     allies as they cut through the forest.
[06:46] Akira
    That's a ten-day journey, give or take.
[06:51] Roroku
    Well then, if you'll excuse us.
[07:03] Yuoshichi
    Well, we've certainly had some
    nosy oddballs around here lately.
[07:10] Yuoshichi
    I heard the ancient humans bred
    those dogs for entertainment.
[07:16] Koushi
    Even more unpredictable
    factors may come into play.
[07:20] Yuoshichi
    This "Millennial Comet" you mentioned?
[07:25] Yuoshichi
    Built by the ancient humans and the gods,
    but ultimately beyond their control?
[07:33] Yuoshichi
    It sounds like a fairy tale.
[07:37] Akira
    You must really love dogs.
[07:39] Akira
    I've never seen Temari so comfortable
     with anyone other than me.
[07:44] Kira
    Thank you so much for letting me
    cuddle your hunting hound.
[07:49] Akira
    We'll visit again sometime.
[08:09] Hibari
    So you've ganged up to plot
     the spiders' downfall, huh?
[08:13] Hibari

[08:53] Hibari
    Let me supplement that fire hunter's report.
[08:57] Hibari
    The spiders will come by night
    nine days from now.
[09:00] Hibari
    They'll gather their scattered brethren and
    assault the capital, armed with natural flame.
[09:06] Koushi
    Why would you tell me that?
[09:08] Hibari
    For amusement.
[09:11] Hibari
    If the spiders wish to burn down
    this city, they're welcome to try.
[09:16] Hibari
    Perhaps it's coming to
    the end of its lifespan.
[09:20] Hibari
    This world, I mean.
[09:23] Hibari
    Of course, the spiders
    may not deal the fatal blow.
[09:28] Hibari
    The child of the stars seems
    determined to get here before them.

    "The lord of the fire hunters."
[09:39] Hibari
    Your father could have been
    the one to claim that title.
[09:43] Koushi
    What?
[09:44] Hibari

    usually, but we assisted Mr. Takiguchi.
[10:42] Koushi
    It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Koushi.
[10:45] Yuoshichi
    Please do not worry.
[10:48] Yuoshichi
    Koushi was a scholarship student,
    and now, he conducts research for me.
[10:53] Yuoshichi
    He was the one who devised this plan.
[10:57] Yuoshichi
    Everyone, I pray nothing will
    go amiss when the time comes.
[11:02] Takiguchi
    Well then, let's go see it.
SIGN    5

[11:12] Yuoshichi
    A collection truck?
[11:14] Koushi
    I'm borrowing a truck undergoing
    maintenance to supply the necessary power.
[11:34] Yuoshichi
    Is this it?
[11:37] Takiguchi
    Yes, although I couldn't
    tell you how it works.
[11:42] Koushi
    I based the device off records on an ancient
     weapon I found in the central archive.
[11:48] Koushi
    I believe the ancients referred
    to it as an "anti-aircraft gun."
[11:56] Koushi
    The original weapon was designed to
    shoot down aircraft flying at high altitude.
[12:03] Koushi
    It needed a steep angle of elevation,
    a quick turning speed, and a long barrel.
[12:09] Koushi
    But we won't need all that to hit
    stationary targets on the ground.
[12:16] Yuoshichi
    I understand.
[12:18] Koushi
    The cannon shells contain bottled skyfire.
[12:22] Yuoshichi
    Yes. You showed me what those
    shells can do the other day.
[13:22] Butler
    Everything is ready, sir.
[13:28] Koushi
    We should fire it before the wind changes!
[13:33] Yuoshichi
    Begin.
[13:34] Butler
    Certainly, sir.
[14:12] Koushi
    The lightning itself won't
    trigger human combustion,
[14:16] Koushi
    but the instantaneous shock wave
    will topple nearby buildings,
[14:21] Koushi
    which could cause
    scattered fires to break out.
[14:25] Yuoshichi
    How powerful is the bottled
    lightning in the real shells?
[14:29] Koushi
    Twice as strong, at least.
[14:31] Yuoshichi
    Excellent. The spiders won't be able to
    shrug that off, and neither will the gods.
[14:38] Koushi
    Huh?
[14:40] Roroku
    I'll finish burying the charges in
    the divine palace tomorrow night.
[14:44] Koushi
    In the palace? But then we'd be
    interfering in a war between gods.
[14:51] Yuoshichi
    That's the plan.
[14:54] Yuoshichi
    Don't tell me you imagined
    the spiders and the divine clans
[15:00] Yuoshichi
    would conveniently wipe each other out.

[16:57] Akira
    Thanks for the bottled lightning.
    One of my companions is hurt bad,
[17:02] Akira
    and it paid for his doctor and medicine.
[17:06] Koushi
    Was the permit his?
[17:09] Roroku
    See? He's sharp.
[17:12] Roroku
    Of course, brains aside,
    he's just some upstart kid.
[17:19] Akira
    As you've probably guessed,
     we go way back.
[17:23] Akira
    When he was fresh off the boat
    from his island and at a loose end,
[17:26] Akira
    my brother was the one who
    suggested he give fire hunting a try.
[17:31] Koushi
    Then, you're originally from the capital?
[17:35] Akira
    My brother was such a daredevil
    that we couldn't stay here,
[17:41] Akira
    so we became roaming fire hunters.
[17:43] Koushi
    Was your brother one of
    the capital's fire hunters?
[17:48] Koushi
    Then, um, did he have red hair like you?
[17:54] Akira; Roroku
    Huh?
[17:56] Koushi
    Could you please come with me?
[18:11] Akira
    It's gorgeous.
[18:13] Roroku
    I can't believe you got us in here.
[18:16] Koushi
    I got a special pass from one
    of the teachers at the academy.
[18:21] Koushi
    The book was hidden away over there.
[18:26] Koushi
    It's about flame fiends and our world.
[18:29] Koushi
    Or rather, it's a collection of sources
    and commentaries on that subject.
[18:34] Koushi
    And it's full of someone's
    personal notes and opinions.
[18:42] Koushi
    The person who left it
    in the archive had red hair.
[18:46] Koushi
    And he smelled and carried
    himself like a fire hunter.
[18:52] Roroku
    Why hide something that
    dangerous in the archive?
[18:57] Akira
    That's my brother.
[18:59] Roroku
    If only he hadn't stuck
    his neck out like that...
[19:02] Akira
    Yeah. I can't tell if he was
    being cautious or just plain stupid.

    Touko. If you can't sleep, let's go upstairs.
[20:21] Akira
    A collection truck leaves
    the day after tomorrow.
[20:23] Akira
    You should hitch a ride back to your village.
[20:28] Akira
    You did your duty and did it well.
[20:31] Akira
    The next thing you need
     to do is get back home.
[20:36] Akira
    Listen, Touko.
    The divine clans killed my brother.
[20:43] Akira
    He appealed directly to the palace about
    the Millennial Comet, the Flickering Flame.
[20:48] Akira
    They marked him as a threat.
[20:53] Akira
    It was too soon.
[20:55] Akira
    But now... With the city full
    of rumors about spider attacks,
[21:03] Akira
    that muku paper you
    brought will come in handy.
[21:09] Akira
    To meet the Flickering
    Flame when it returns,
[21:12] Akira
    I need to submit an appeal
    to the palace on muku paper.
[21:17] Akira
    I'll take the letter there myself.
[21:21] Akira
    Even if they kill me,
    someone will hunt that comet.
[21:27] Akira
    I don't care who earns the title
    of "lord of the fire hunters."
[21:34] Touko
    Ms. Akira, would you please take me with you?
[21:42] Touko
    I won't give you any muku paper unless you do.
[21:49] Touko
    The palace is full of scary gods
    like the one we met, right?
[21:54] Touko
    Can you really go deliver
    your letter all on your own?
[21:58] Touko
    Ms. Akira, I don't want to see
    anyone else I care about get hurt or killed.
[22:09] Touko
    Ms. Akira... I think you should
    become the lord of the fire hunters.

    Hibari of the divine clans

[02:53] Narrator
    clashed in a fierce battle that
    nearly saw Touko drown in a canal.
[02:57] Narrator
    But Koushi's sister, Hinako, rescued Touko,
    as well as Akira's hound, Temari.
[03:11] Touko
    Kanata?
[03:16] Akira
    Are you awake?
[03:18] Touko
    Ms. Akira.
[03:20] Touko
    Is Kun...
[03:22] Akira
    Don't worry. He's just sleeping.
[03:29] Akira
    Why are a treefolk and a fiend here?
[03:34] Touko
    Shuyu...
[03:36] Akira
    Touko, did you slay that fiend?
[03:40] Touko
    I don't really remember.
[03:42] Touko
    It sprang out in front of me
    with Shuyu in its jaws.
[03:46] Touko
    Temari and I...
[03:48] Touko
    Koushi's little sister
    pulled us up onto the bank.
[03:53] Akira
    What?
[03:54] Touko
    I couldn't believe how strong she was.
     She seemed strange, too.
[03:59] Touko
    Then she just crossed the canal and left.
[04:04] Akira
    Crossed how?
[04:07] Touko
    It was almost like she flew.
[04:12] Akira
    What in the world?
[04:14] Akira
    I thought Koushi's sister was sickly
    and the Okibis were caring for her.
[04:19] Touko
    But she...
[04:22] (Flashback) Hinako
    Thank you for Kanata.
[04:25] Touko
    She thanked me for returning Kanata.
[04:29] Touko
    That was...
[04:45] Akira
    Fiends have slipped into the capital.
[04:49] Akira
    Since they broke the fiend wards,
    the spiders must be controlling them.
[05:26] Akira
    Every fire hunter and hound
    in the capital will head here.
[05:30] Akira
    Touko, take Kun and run.
[05:33] Akira
    This is about to become a battlefield.
[05:37] Touko
    You run, Ms. Akira.
[05:41] Touko
    You're going to become
    the lord of the fire hunters.
[05:44] Akira
    I didn't set out to become anything so grand.
[05:47] Akira
    I just don't want this world
     to die yet. Besides...
[05:53] Akira
    You're not a fire hunter now.
[06:02] Akira
    Here they come.
[06:03] Akira
    Sorry, Touko, but I'm borrowing Kanata.
[06:07] Narrator
    A pack of fiends breaks through
    the wards and enters the capital.
[06:11] Narrator
    Every fire hunter gathers to fight them off.
[06:15] Narrator
    As Akira said, this place
    becomes a battlefield.
[06:27] Narrator
    Akira and Temari fight well.
[06:30] Narrator
    As does Kanata.
[06:51] Akira
    Touko?
[07:00] Akira
    You little fool.
[07:28] Akira
    Touko!
[07:40] Akira
    Touko! Fall back for now!
[07:45] Akira
    Touko...
[07:55] Akira
    Touko!
[08:06] Kun
    Lady!
[08:19] Roroku
    Get clear, Mizore!
[08:35] Koushi
    Ms. Akira, you're hurt.
[08:37] Akira
    Man, how pathetic can I be?
[08:39] Roroku
    You overdid it.
[08:41] Roroku
    Now, take the girl and fall back.
[08:45] Roroku
    Every fire hunter in the capital
    saw the Millennial Comet.
[08:49] Roroku
    Your brother will never get
    to rest in peace if you die here.
[08:53] Roroku
    Get your ass to the palace
    before the spiders beat you there.
[08:59] Roroku
    Let's go, Mizore.
[09:05] Touko
    Koushi...
[09:08] Koushi
    We have to get away from here.
[09:11] Koushi
    You don't need to use this anymore.
[09:20] Fire Hunter A
    Look there!
[09:22] Fire Hunter B
    The spiders have made it in here!
[09:25] Koushi
    Huh?
[09:28] Koushi
    No!
[09:30] Koushi
    The fiends are that way!
[09:31] Akira
    Wait!
[09:33] Koushi
    You're making a mistake!
[09:34] Fire Hunter A
    Kill him!
[09:40] Akira
    Wait! Don't kill him!
[09:58] Koushi
    Hinako?
[10:10] Koushi
    Please come with me.
[10:12] Koushi
    You need treatment
    if you're going to the palace.
[10:14] Akira
    Touko, can you stand?
[10:23] Flickering Flame
    Just like my older sister.
[10:26] Touko
    Who are you?
[10:28] Flickering Flame
    But Tokohanahime has gone from this world.
[10:34] Flickering Flame
    I cannot see my sister in the flesh again.
[10:37] Flickering Flame
    I left my orbit because
    I could not bear the fear,
[10:42] Flickering Flame
    yet I have returned.
[10:44] Touko
    Am I dead?
[10:48] Flickering Flame
    You are not dead.
[10:50] Flickering Flame
    It was our older sister who died.
[10:54] Flickering Flame
    And many humans, too.
[10:57] Flickering Flame
    Almost all life.
[11:00] Flickering Flame
    You live.
[11:03] Touko
    Who are you?
[11:06] Touko
    The Flickering Flame?
[11:09] Flickering Flame
    Enough have died already,
    yet still they kill each other.
[11:17] Touko
    You're the Flickering Flame.
[11:22] Akira
    Patch up Kun.
[11:24] Koushi
    Spiders are like gods physically.
[11:27] Koushi
    Your injuries obviously come first.
[11:30] Koushi
    I'm not a doctor,
    so I can only give you first aid,
[11:34] Koushi
    but I can at least stop the bleeding.
[11:38] Akira
    What about Touko?
[11:39] Koushi
    Sleeping off her exhaustion.
[11:41] Koushi
    She's so small, and yet...
[11:44] Fire Hunter C
    You there. Our job's not done yet.
[11:48] Akira
    I won't let Touko swing a sickle anymore.
[11:54] Akira
    She kills too much.
[11:57] Akira
    Killing's not the same as hunting.
[11:59] Akira
    We must never let Touko
    wield a sickle again.
[12:54] Koushi
    Hinako?
[12:56] Koushi
    Hinako!
[12:58] Akira
    Koushi. Don't go looking for her.
[13:02] Akira
    She was probably...
[13:04] Koushi
    Remade by the gods.
[13:07] Koushi
    Like the treefolk in the forbidden quarter.
[13:12] Koushi
    I think the doctor who treated Hinako...
[13:16] Akira
    He works for the gods?
[13:18] Koushi
    He may be a god. And he might not
    be the only one in the Okibis' mansion.
[13:24] Akira
    Does Mr. Okibi know?
[13:27] Koushi
    I doubt he has realized.
[13:30] Koushi
    He loathes the divine clans.
[13:33] Akira
    That girl is no longer...
[13:45] Koushi
    What now?
[13:46] Akira
    I'll deliver my appeal to the Lady Goddess.
[13:50] Koushi
    But then, you'll end up like your...
[13:52] Akira
    My brother brought word of the Millennial
    Comet and the lord of the fire hunters,
[13:56] Akira
    and the gods killed him for it.
[13:59] Akira
    I'm that fool's little sister, and hunting
    flame fiends is all I know how to do,
[14:05] Akira
    so I'll do what I've set my mind on.
[14:08] Akira
    But I have hope this time.
[14:11] Akira
    The Lady Goddess has to read
    an appeal written on muku paper,
[14:16] Akira
    and the gods can't play dumb now the
     spiders have launched their invasion.
[14:22] Akira
    So? What will you do?
[14:25] Koushi
    I'll use the tunnels that link the factories
    to get to the Ibushi cultivation plant.
[14:34] Koushi
    They have the second lightning cannon,
[14:38] Koushi
    and they should have
    staff on-site to work it.
[14:42] Koushi
    I'll join them.
[14:44] Koushi
    Mr. Okibi must be on his way to the
    first cannon at the Takiguchi steelworks.
[14:54] Akira
    Koushi, you don't need to
    stand by rich old Okibi anymore.
[15:00] Akira
    You don't need to endanger yourself, either.
[15:03] Akira
    If you head straight for town,
    you can make it to the bridge.
[15:06] Akira
    Take Touko and Kun with you.
[15:08] Koushi
    No, I'll stick to the plan.
[15:13] Koushi
    I designed that machine—that weapon—
    to protect the townspeople
[15:18] Koushi
    from the spiders' war with the gods.
[15:22] Koushi
    I have a responsibility to see this through.
[15:26] Akira
    I wonder if Haijuu was like you.
[15:30] Koushi
    My father?
[15:31] Akira
    Haijuu even abandoned
    his family to seek out muku paper.
[15:37] Akira
    He traveled to Touko's village,
    but before he could get what he wanted,
[15:41] Akira
    he died saving Touko from a fiend attack.
[15:46] Koushi
    Pretty stupid, huh?
[15:48] Akira
    It does seem silly.
[15:51] Akira
    If he'd ignored Touko
    and gotten the muku paper,
[15:55] Akira
    Haijuu might have petitioned the Lady
    Goddess and become lord of the fire hunters.
[16:02] Akira
    But you know, only a warmhearted fool
    would think of overturning divine rule,
[16:09] Akira
    let alone try to do it.
[16:14] Koushi
    My father never once mentioned
    the lord of the fire hunters to me.
[16:20] Akira
    "The lord of the fire hunters
    has the power to change the world."
[16:25] Akira
    It sounds like a fairy tale,
[16:28] Akira
    but looking at the capital, we really
    do need an alternative to divine rule.
[16:35] Koushi
    Mr. Okibi said the same thing.
[16:41] Koushi
    He told me we needed a weapon
    against the gods to make that happen.
[16:45] Koushi
    And for all humans to get to eat their fill
     of meat, sacrifices needed to be made.
[16:53] Akira
    A lord is someone who spends their life
     thinking about how other people live.
[16:59] Akira
    They never treat people like banknotes.
[17:03] Koushi
    So not just anyone will do, then?
[17:06] Koushi
    The skill to hunt the
    Flickering Flame isn't enough.
[17:10] Akira
    Right. We need someone worthy to
    become the lord of the fire hunters.
[17:31] Koushi
    Are you evacuating to the city?
[17:33] Supervisor
    No one's left.
[17:36] Supervisor
    Where did you come from?
[17:38] Akira
    Could you take this kid with you? She's hurt.
[17:42] Supervisor
    Sure, I can take her,
[17:44] Supervisor
    but if she's hurt, a treefolk named Kiri is
    healing people on the southern outskirts.
[17:49] Koushi
    Kiri? You mean Kiri came aboveground, too?
[17:53] Koushi
    No, never mind.
[17:55] Supervisor
    What about that kid?
[17:57] Akira
    He's mine.
[18:00] Supervisor
    Aren't you folk evacuating?
[18:03] Akira
    We still have a little
    business to take care of.
[18:06] Supervisor
    "Business," huh?
[18:09] Akira
    Ask the welder and laundress in Minatozaka,
     District 22. They'll tell you about her.
[18:25] Akira
    She'll be furious later.
[18:28] Akira
    You'd never guess,
    but Touko has a mean temper.
[18:35] Akira
    I'm not ditching you, okay? I'll come back.
[18:39] Akira
    Stay with this boy and do what he tells you.
[18:42] Koushi
    Ms. Akira, the lightning
    will start soon. Be careful.
[18:46] Akira
    I can't wait to see your invention in action.
[18:51] Narrator
    Entrusting Touko to the kindness of others,
    Koushi leads Kun to the lightning cannon.
[18:57] Narrator
    Akira heads for the divine palace
    with Temari to petition the Lady Goddess.
[19:05] Narrator
    Their time apart may prove lengthy.
[19:21] Kun
    What's this place?
[19:23] Koushi
    It's where food grows when people
    in the capital don't have enough.
[19:27] Koushi
    Kun, we'll hide you here.
[19:30] Koushi
    Don't worry. Kanata will be with you.
[19:33] Koushi
    I'm counting on you, Kanata.
[19:35] Koushi
    Don't come out even if you hear loud noises.
[20:09] Koushi
    Hello! Is anybody here?
[20:12] Koushi
    It's me, Koushi! Is anybody here?
[20:16] Hibari
    You took your sweet time.
[20:18] Koushi
    You're... Hibari.
[20:24] Koushi
    Did you kill them all?
[20:26] Hibari
    Of course not. They turned tail
    and fled as soon as they saw my spies.
[20:36] Koushi
    Did the gods make this rain, too?
[20:39] Hibari
    Perhaps they made it a bit too heavy.
[20:42] Hibari
    They called the rain like this before,
    when they tried to stop the great fire.
[20:49] (Flashback) Yuoshichi
    Water-wielding gods finally quenched
    the blaze by calling a rainstorm.
[20:57] (Flashback) Yuoshichi
    I believe the divine clans
    chose to delay and let it happen.
[21:01] (Flashback) Yuoshichi
    They culled the excess human population.
[21:08] Hibari
    They have arrived.
[21:09] Hibari
    The spiders have entered the capital.
[21:28] Hibari
    They used the fiends to divert attention.
[21:32] Hibari
    I see the spiders' usual crude stratagems
    have proven effective against humans.
[21:40] Hibari
    And it appears some humans schemed
     to invite them into the city.
[21:46] Hibari
    Starting with the reconstruction after
    the great fire, they built hidden passages
[21:54] Hibari
    so the spiders could access the tunnels.
[21:58] Hibari
    The spiders have had a way
    into the capital all this time.
[22:04] Hibari
    And humans made it for them.

    Tell me, how will you fight

    Have you already told your allies,
    the other gods, about this place?
[02:02] Hibari
    No. My relatives don't care for me.

[03:28] Masumi
    You injured? What factory did you come from?
[03:32] Boy Worker 1
    She ain't a worker.
[03:34] Boy Worker 1
    She doesn't even have a uniform.
[03:36] Masumi
    Can it. You're not even
    a team leader, so butt out.
[03:42] Boy Worker 1
    Keep it down. The chief'll yell at us again.
[03:45] Boy Worker 2
    Who is she?
[03:47] Boy Worker 3
    She's not a worker, right?
[03:48] Boy Worker 4
    Think she could be a kid from the slums?
[03:51] Boy Worker 5
    But she came with an evacuee group, right?
[03:52] Masumi
    Do you want to go outside?
[03:55] Boy Worker 6
    She must've gotten mixed in.
[03:56] Masumi
    What are you looking at?
[03:58] Masumi
    Let us through.
[03:58] Boy Worker 5
    I hear hunters headed to
    the tunnel to wipe out the fiends.
[04:01] Boy Worker 6
    You mean the wards broke?
[04:04] Boy Worker 7
    The spiders'll break the gods' wards
    and attack from the dark forest.
[04:08] Boy Worker 6
    The spiders? Are the gods
    gonna fight the spiders, then?
[04:12] Boy Worker 5
    The fire hunters will fight them first.
[04:15] Boy Worker 6
    Won't the other adults do anything?
[04:17] Boy Worker 6
    How can we just wait here
     twiddling our thumbs?
[04:20] Supervisor 2
    Pipe down, pipsqueaks.
    Don't talk like you know any better.
[04:24] Boy Worker 6
    If we keep working in the factories,
    pollution'll kill us anyway.
[04:28] Boy Worker 5
    I'd rather die fighting spiders!
[04:30] Supervisor 2
    Don't get smart with me! Any more
    nonsense and you're on waste disposal!
[04:35] Supervisor 2
    Or would you rather service tunnels
     till you can't stand straight?
[04:35] Masumi
    None of them have ever even
    seen a fiend or a spider.
[04:39] Masumi
    The older kids are always
    picking fights with the grown-ups.
[04:43] Boy Worker 8
    Hey. You can't just go outside.
[04:47] Masumi
    I think this girl is here by mistake.
    She says she's from the slums.
[04:52] Masumi
    Cowards.
[04:55] Masumi
    That scared them because the slums
     are said to be full of infection.
[05:00] Masumi
    But my mom's got it way worse.
[05:03] Masumi
    She can't talk anymore because of
    factory poisoning. She can only groan.
[05:08] Masumi
    And we'll all end up that way sooner or later.
[05:13] Masumi
    Just like my mom.
[05:16] Touko
    Are we somewhere in the factory district?
[05:20] Masumi
    No, we're in a communal kitchen
    in the residential district.
[05:24] Masumi
    Nothing to eat here now, though.
[05:29] Boy Worker 5
    Hey! Look at that!
[05:31] Boy Worker 6
    Whoa.
[05:32] Boy Worker 6
    Are the gods doing something?
[05:34] Boy Worker 7
    They're here. The spiders really came!
[05:38] Masumi
    What are you so happy about?
[05:41] Boy Worker 7
    My folks told me about 'em.
[05:44] Boy Worker 7
    They say the gods leave
    factory poisons around on purpose.
[05:49] Boy Worker 7
    When the spiders come, humans will
    be able to use fire like in the olden days.
[05:53] Boy Worker 7
    We'll be stronger than the gods.
[05:55] Boy Worker 6
    Is that true?
[05:58] Boy Worker 7
    My old man says the bug venom kills you,
    then makes it so you won't burn.
[06:03] Boy Worker 5
    The watch will arrest you
    for talking like that.
[06:06] Masumi
    Don't be silly.
    No one comes back from the dead.
[06:10] Boy Worker 6
    Shut up! I'd rather die from
    bug venom than factory poisoning!
[06:15] Supervisor 2
    Give it a rest already!
[06:18] Supervisor 2
    A-A-Anyway, all of you, get inside.
[06:24] Touko
    I had no idea.
[06:26] Touko
    I didn't know anything
    about what the capital is like.
[06:32] Masumi
    You mean you're not from the city?
[07:22] Koushi
    Kun, I can't operate this alone.
[07:24] Koushi
    I need your help.
[07:28] Kun
    Okay.
[07:29] Koushi
    But first, I have something to tell you.
[07:34] Kun
    I know. Everybody's gonna die, right?
[07:38] Koushi
    Right.
[07:40] Kun
    But you've gotta use this thing, right?
[07:47] Koushi
    Right.
[08:18] Koushi
    Kun, over here.
[08:21] Koushi
    Pull that long rod toward you
     as hard as you can.
[08:24] Kun
    Right.
[08:42] Okibi Maid A
    I believe children from
    the factories have gathered here?
[08:45] Supervisor 1
    Did the Okibis send you?
[08:47] Okibi Maid A
    Please enjoy this food together.
[08:50] Supervisor 1
    Meal time, you lot.
[08:53] Masumi
    Join in. Come on.
    This is your chance to get food.
[08:53] Kids
    Food!

[09:59] Boy Worker 7
    Look, lightning!
[10:00] Kids
    Lightning?
[10:01] Boy Worker 5
    Forked lightning! It struck
    the edge of the factory district!
[10:07] Kids
    Hey! Quit crying!
[10:08] Touko
    Mr. Koushi...
[10:10] Okibi Maid A
    What? You know Koushi?
[10:15] Okibi Maid A
    Which factory is this girl from?
[10:17] Supervisor 2
    Actually, a fire hunter left her
    with us during the evacuation.
[10:31] Koushi
    A volley from the first cannon!
[10:47] Koushi
    Hurry, Kun. Load the next—
[10:52] On
    What are you doing?
[10:57] On
    I don't believe it. You can make
     lightning strike with this?
[11:04] On
    You're calling lightning...
[11:07] On
    and killing my comrades?
[11:39] Koushi
    Her arm!
[11:44] Koushi
    Kanata!
[12:12] Roroku
    That was a close one.
[12:14] Koushi
    Roroku!
[12:15] Roroku
    She dislocated her elbows and shoulders
    to stretch her already long arms.
[12:20] Roroku
    Her range was hard to gauge.
[12:21] Koushi
    So you're all right, then.
[12:24] Roroku
    You think anyone's all right
     given current circumstances?
[12:29] Koushi
    Your arm...
[12:32] Roroku
    It started to ignite,
    so I cut it off with my sickle.
[12:35] Roroku
    Those who escaped went to guard the first
     cannon at Takiguchi's like we'd planned.
[12:42] Roroku
    This thing wasn't firing,
    so they sent me to check it out.
[12:47] Roroku
    Where's the crew?
[12:49] Koushi
    The gods chased them off.
    They were gone by the time I got here.
[12:54] Roroku
    So you launched that shot on your own?
[12:58] Koushi
    No, I got this boy and Kanata to help me.
[13:04] Roroku
    Now that's rich.
[13:06] Roroku
    They've got a gaggle of grown men
    kicking up a fuss over there,
[13:11] Roroku
    but a four-eyed kid, a pipsqueak,
    and a dog made this monster howl.
[13:17] Koushi
    What's going on outside?
[13:21] Roroku
    Spiders leaped out of
    the underground tunnels all over.
[13:25] Roroku
    They must've been spinning their web
    under the capital for a long time.
[13:29] Roroku
    Fire killed the gods who thought
    they could get the drop on them.
[13:35] Roroku
    Most of the fire hunters burned, too.
[13:38] Roroku
    What about Akira and the girl?
[13:40] Koushi
    Akira set out for the divine palace.
[13:43] Koushi
    We asked a group of evacuating workers
     to take Touko into town.
[13:55] Kun
    On won't fight anymore.
[13:58] Koushi
    You know this spider?
[14:00] Kun
    We were together in the forest.
[14:02] Kun
    On had a short temper
    and wouldn't play with me much.
[14:06] Roroku
    Hey...
[14:08] On
    I wouldn't want humans any other way.
[14:12] Roroku
    You're a tough one.
    A human would be dead by now.
[14:17] Roroku
    Must be the spiders' divine blood.
[14:23] On
    As I speak, our fellows open the gates
    of the home from which we were driven.
[14:29] On
    Go to them, Kun.
[14:32] Kun
    The bug that makes you
    not burn doesn't work on me.
[14:36] On
    No matter. Go and watch
     as the world regains fire,
[14:45] On
    and as the spiders burn away the gods,
    the head clan from which we split,
[14:50] On
    and the home of our birth.
[14:53] Koushi
    "The home of your birth"?
[14:56] Koushi
    The spiders used to be part of the Fire Clan.

[14:59] Koushi
    Is that why you're so fixated on fire?
SIGN    Fire
[15:03] On
    Ancient flame was once
    the very power we commanded.
[15:09] On
    Now the head clan stands over all,
[15:12] On
    yet they cannot even approach the flame
    that is their power, let alone wield it.
[15:19] On
    Does it not frustrate you? More than anyone,
    humans should reclaim fire.
[15:25] On
    Return to the era when you
    boasted of controlling its might.
[15:29] Koushi
    Why... Why do you care so much
    about what humans do?
[15:33] Roroku
    Stop. Don't bother arguing.
[15:36] On
    We attack the capital
    where the divine clans squat
[15:40] On
    to achieve our great ambition
    of giving humanity fire.
[15:45] Koushi
    After you killed so many
    of those very humans?
[15:48] Koushi
    You act just like the
    people of the old world.
[15:54] Koushi
    Ancient humans once destroyed the world
    with fire to get what they wanted.
[16:03] On
    Didn't you kill your fair share
    using the fallbeasts' power?
[16:10] On
    Like the humans of the old world.
[16:14] On
    No matter how the world changes,
    the human race never will.
[16:20] On
    That is humanity's true nature.
[16:26] On
    Humans use fire to make things
    and fight each other.
[16:31] On
    Then they rise again from
     the ashes of destruction.
[16:35] On
    That's how it should be.
[16:37] On
    That's the kind of creatures humans are.
[16:41] On
    So reclaim fire.
[16:47] Touko
    Where are we going?
[16:49] Okibi Maid A
    We'll escort you to the Okibi estate.
[16:51] Okibi Maid A
    You must have seen Koushi in the factories.
[16:54] Okibi Maid A
    He's alive, isn't he?
[16:56] Touko
    He left me with some people
    and went to a factory, I think.
[17:02] Voice 1
    The spiders have come.
[17:04] Voice 1
    The spiders brought real fire to save us.
[17:07] Voice 2
    Purifying flame, not filthy fiendfire.
[17:12] Driver
    Move! And be quick about it!
[17:16] Driver
    Make way! Clear the road!
[17:16] Voice 3
    The spiders will save us, even after we die.
[17:20] Voice 5
    They'll free us from the torment
    of the factories and the pain of life!
[17:27] Okibi Maid A
    Who's that with the cane?
[17:30] Okibi Maid B
    That's Ms. Ibushi.
    She runs the cultivation plant.
[17:35] Ibushi
    You ought to stop this. Don't go.
[17:39] Ibushi
    It wasn't just the gods.
[17:42] Ibushi
    They swell up out of the dark places.
[17:45] Yuoshichi
    Someone escort Ms. Ibushi home to her estate.
[18:03] Yuoshichi
    Spineless coward.
[18:11] Kira
    Touko?
[18:13] Okibi Maid A
    Miss Kira.
[18:15] Kira
    What's wrong? What brings you here?
[18:18] Okibi Maid A
    She said she was in the
    factory district with Koushi.
[18:21] Okibi Maid A
    We bumped into her at a communal kitchen.
[18:25] Kira
    Touko, let's go to my room.
[18:29] Kira
    Bring her clean clothes
    and something hot to eat.
[18:31] Hibana
    Wait right there.
[18:36] Hibana
    Kira.
[18:38] Kira
    Yes, Mother.
[18:43] Hibana
    You mustn't decide these things on your own.
[18:48] Kira
    Forgive me, Mother.
[18:54] Hibana
    What are you waiting for?
    Fetch this girl a change of clothes.
[18:57] Kira
    Okay.
[18:59] Hibana
    Listen closely.
[19:01] Hibana
    That boy was invited into
     our home for this moment.
[19:07] Hibana
    Your father predicted this would happen
    and kept an assistant on hand.
[19:14] Hibana
    The boy certainly made
    himself at home here,
[19:19] Hibana
    but he must have realized that much himself.
[19:24] Hibana
    So, Kira...
[19:27] Hibana
    Stop having vulgar feelings
    for your father's lackey.
[19:33] Kira
    What?
[19:45] Kira
    Koushi and Hinako and even Kanata
    must be in the factory district right now.
[19:52] Kira
    I had no idea.
[19:55] Kira
    How... How long has this been going on?
[20:00] Kira
    I have to go.
[20:01] Kira
    I have to go to where they are.
[20:05] Hibana
    Kira! Wait!
[20:08] Kira
    I...
[20:09] Okibi Maid A
    Miss Kira!
[20:11] Touko
    Miss Kira!
[20:41] Kouhachi
    I must insist that the
    young lady accompany me.
[20:47] Kouhachi
    So that the Flickering Flame
    may become our new Lady Goddess,
[20:52] Kouhachi
    we must choose a human child
    as a temporary vessel.
[20:58] Kouhachi
    A bright, healthy girl like
    Miss Kira should do nicely.
[21:09] Hibana
    Kouhachi. So you were a mole?
[21:12] Hibana
    You pretended to be human and
     snuck into our home, you monster.
[21:17] Hibana
    Give me back my daughter!
[21:20] Takimi
    The Okibis have been chosen.
[21:23] Takimi
    Chosen by the gods to keep
    the human world from ending.
[21:28] Hibana
    You, too, Takimi?
[21:32] Takimi
    Little Hinako proved most suitable.
[21:36] Takimi
    She's a new breed of human
    that doesn't need fire.
[21:41] Hibana
    My daughter...
[21:43] Hibana
    Give Kira back to me!
[21:47] Takimi
    Unfortunately, this is no time for scruples.
[21:52] Takimi
    Please understand.
[21:54] Takimi
    We do this for future generations.
[21:58] Hibana
    Kira!
[22:12] Flickering Flame
    I'll take you to where the dogs are.

    Mizore seems to have

[02:55] Roroku
    I'll go find them.
[02:58] Koushi
    I'm going to Touko.
[03:01] Koushi
    Roroku... be safe.
[03:05] Koushi
    Let's go, Kun.
[03:08] Roroku
    I can't believe spiders
    really can command bugs.
[03:12] Roroku
    And I figured Koushi was just a cocky brat,
[03:15] Roroku
    but I guess taking him
    on that fiend hunt paid off.
[03:19] Roroku
    Let's go, Mizore.
[03:25] Flickering Flame
    Oh, it really is beautiful.
[03:28] Flickering Flame
    A long time has passed since I last saw one,
[03:32] Flickering Flame
    but I love what you make with paper, Hibari.
[03:36] Flickering Flame
    But isn't it paper for writing on?
[03:40] Hibari
    Our sister, Tayurahime, gave it to me.
[03:44] Hibari
    She shared it with me quite some time ago.
[03:50] Flickering Flame
    You still look like a child, Hibari.
[03:53] Flickering Flame
    Though in truth, you must be one
    of the oldest gods around now.
[03:58] Flickering Flame
    So much time has passed since then, hasn't it?
[04:02] Hibari
    But you've stayed a child, too, sister.
[04:08] Flickering Flame
    That girl...
[04:11] Hibari
    She's in league with a fire hunter who means
    to hunt you, but shall I take her to the palace?
[04:17] Flickering Flame
    That girl must go forth.
[04:20] Flickering Flame
    There is a dog she must meet.
[04:25] Hibari
    A dog?
[04:29] Hibari
    Oh, now that you mention it,
    she does usually have a hound by her side.
[04:35] Flickering Flame
    Yes, like Tayura.

    And send that girl home quick—
[04:56] Hibari
    The divine clans have decided
    to make you the next Lady Goddess.
[05:01] Hibari
    You may wander into
     the void, Flickering Flame,
[05:06] Hibari
    but when your ordained duty
    calls you back to this land,
[05:09] Hibari
    you will succeed Lady Tayurahime.
[05:14] Hibari
    That girl will be made your vessel.
[05:18] Hibari
    Forcing the Lady Goddess
    to bear a great burden alone
[05:23] Hibari
    allows us to wield our divine power.
[05:27] Hibari
    We govern the surviving humans.

    I'll take you to where the dogs are.
[06:03] Touko
    Kanata.
[06:11] Kun
    I lost sight of Kanata.
[06:13] Koushi
    If Kanata left, Touko must be nearby.
[06:18] Koushi
    But why would Touko be in a factory?
[06:22] Koushi
    I thought she escaped with those
    other kids. What could have happened?
[06:26] Koushi
    Kun, try to find Kanata again.
[06:29] Kun
    The bugs are getting weak,
    so I can't tell much.
[06:32] Koushi
    Try, Kun. Your bugs are our only hope.
[06:37] Kun
    I'll give it another shot.

[07:47] Touko
    A collection truck?
[07:56] Touko
    Grandma.
[08:00] Touko
    Aunt.
[08:06] Touko
    Rin.
[09:17] Touko
    Whose footprints are those?
[09:37] Touko
    Mr. Koushi... Ms. Akira... Kanata...
[09:45] Touko
    Kanata!
[09:51] Kun
    Kanata...
[09:54] Kun
    Kanata found the small lady.
[09:58] Koushi
    Where's Touko?
[09:59] Kun
    The bugs are in bad shape,
    so I can't see too good.
[10:04] Kun
    There.
[10:31] Koushi
    What is it? What's wrong, Kun?
[10:33] Kun
    Well...
[10:37] Kun
    A big tower and a big, black log.
[10:42] Kun
    Just like the thing from before.
[10:44] Koushi
    Kun, you mean Touko saw something...
    something like the lightning cannon?
[10:51] Koushi
    That must be Takiguchi's first cannon.
[10:54] Kun
    Mister...
[10:57] Kun
    A big shadow's coming at the small lady!
[11:00] Koushi
    "A shadow" doesn't tell me
    anything. What exactly—
[11:03] Koushi
    An earthquake!
[12:23] Touko
    The huge treefolk?
[12:30] Touko
    You were in the forbidden quarter.
[12:46] Yanagi
    Ah, I see you made it in one piece, too.
[12:50] Kunugi
    The mole's friend, huh?
[12:55] Touko
    Treefolk...
[12:57] Touko
    But why are you aboveground?
[13:00] Yanagi
    The gods collapsed the ground
    to put out the spiders' fires.
[13:06] Yanagi
    Thanks to that, Kunugi managed to
    get free of that wall and come up here.
[13:12] Touko
    Then, what about Ms. Kiri
    and the other treefolk?
[13:17] Yanagi
    Kiri and En fled.
[13:19] Yanagi
    We don't know where Shuyu is.
[13:22] Yanagi
    The others...
[13:26] Touko
    A fiend killed Shuyu. I'm sorry.
[13:31] Touko
    I couldn't do anything.
[13:35] Yanagi
    I see.
[13:38] Yanagi
    Sad as that is, you shouldn't
    let it trouble you so much.
[13:44] Yanagi
    We can't live long on the surface.
[13:49] Touko
    What?
[13:58] Yanagi
    There's nothing I... nothing we can do.
[14:03] Yanagi
    I said we should just return to the soil,
[14:07] Yanagi
    but Kunugi came aboveground,
    hoping to make graves for our comrades.
[14:13] Kunugi
    We must dig graves.
    Graves for the treefolk.
[14:18] Ruri-Matsuri
    If you want to make graves for your fellows,
     bury the dead spiders first.
[14:27] Ruri-Matsuri
    We can't leave corpses
     lying around. Death defiles.
[14:31] Ruri-Matsuri
    We must clear the area around the palace
    before rot causes ghost lights.
[14:39] Touko
    Kanata!
[15:03] Yanagi
    You're Ruri-Matsuri of the Wood Clan.
[15:08] Yanagi
    You remade us, the treefolk
    of the forbidden quarter.
[15:14] Ruri-Matsuri
    Oh? You have a good memory.
[15:20] Yanagi
    I had nothing new to remember underground.
[15:24] Yanagi
    Where is Kiri?
[15:27] Yanagi
    You should be able to tell
    even without putting down roots.
[15:35] Ruri-Matsuri
    She seems to be tending to wounded humans.
[15:39] Ruri-Matsuri
    Fitting for a treefolk's final task, I suppose.
[15:44] Ruri-Matsuri
    The human girl called Hinako is with her.
[15:49] Ruri-Matsuri
    Are you the one that good-for-nothing
    Hibari has his eye on?
[15:55] Ruri-Matsuri
    Hibari... The rest of us labor to put out fires,
     calling rain, shifting canal water,
[16:04] Ruri-Matsuri
    collapsing earth, and guiding
    the fall of trees and buildings.
[16:08] Ruri-Matsuri
    But he's only focused on the
    Lady Goddess and the Millennial Comet.
[16:14] Ruri-Matsuri
    He refuses to do real work.
[16:29] Kunugi
    Trees are burning.
[16:31] Yanagi
    Didn't the gods put out the spiders' fire?
[16:35] Ruri-Matsuri
    Humans did this.
[16:40] Touko
    Why would humans use fire?
     Why would they burn trees?
[16:45] Ruri-Matsuri
    The humans doing that
    are caught in the spiders' web.
[16:50] Ruri-Matsuri
    I knew some humans
    secretly supported the spiders.
[16:56] Ruri-Matsuri
    Not content to dig secret tunnels
    beneath the factories,
[17:00] Ruri-Matsuri
    they ignite their own bodies
    to burn down factories and trees.
[17:06] Touko
    They're burning themselves?
[17:09] Mob
    The spiders have come!
    The spiders really brought fire!
[17:11] Mob
    Not filthy fiendfire! Purifying flame!
[17:13] Mob
    The spiders will save us, even after we die!
[17:13] Mob
    You must've seen that star fall!
    The spiders will claim it and defeat the gods!
[17:16] Mob
    The spiders are our true saviors!
[17:17] Mob
    They'll liberate us! Liberate us!
[17:19] Mob
    We'll be free!
[17:22] Ruri-Matsuri
    Those humans believed that absurd story
    about victims of the spiders' fire
[17:28] Ruri-Matsuri
    reviving with bodies that don't burn.
[17:31] Ruri-Matsuri
    And all of this because he never
    alerted anyone to their activity.
[17:38] Ruri-Matsuri
    I can't believe he kept
    the keen-eared Wind Clan fooled.
[17:43] Ruri-Matsuri
    The clans should have kept
    a closer eye on that idiot.
[17:51] Touko
    Do you mean... Mr. Hibari?
[18:07] Touko
    I'll go with Kanata. We have to find Mr. Koushi.
[18:12] Touko
    If you go to help Ms. Kiri, please
    protect Hinako, the girl with her, too.
[18:17] Touko
    She's part of this dog's family.
[18:27] Koushi
    Kun, about that spider called On...
[18:31] Kun
    On was with us in the forest.
[18:34] Kun
    My dad said On was better
    with blades than bugs.
[18:43] Koushi
    What are the bugs that
    stop you from burning like?
[18:48] Kun
    I heard some special bugs were born.
[18:52] Kun
    And once those bugs bit everyone,
    going near fire didn't bother 'em.
[18:59] Kun
    I was the only one the bugs didn't
    work on, so they left me in the forest.
[19:04] Kun
    My mom told me to become
    part of the forest and left.
[19:09] Koushi
    I see.
[19:12] Koushi
    Could an insect really have that effect?
[19:16] Koushi
    But the spiders did bring
    ancient flame into the capital,
[19:21] Koushi
    so they must at least have some way
    to stop their own bodies from burning.
[19:26] Koushi
    But even if they do, why would
    they want to share it with humans?
[19:34] (Flashback) On
    More than anyone,
     humans should reclaim fire.
[19:38] (Flashback) On
    Return to the era when you
    boasted of controlling its might.
[19:43] (Flashback) Koushi
    Why... Why do you care so much
    about what humans do?
[19:48] Koushi
    "That is humanity's true nature."
[19:52] Koushi
    "That's the kind of creatures humans are."
[19:55] (Flashback) On
    Didn't you kill your fair share
    using the fallbeasts' power?
[20:03] (Flashback) On
    Like the humans of the old world.
[20:09] Koushi
    "That's the kind of creatures humans are."
[20:13] Koushi
    "So reclaim fire."
[20:16] Kun
    Mister?
[20:21] Kun
    How do you think
    Kanata found the small lady?
[20:25] Koushi
    Kanata found who he ought
    to protect on his own.
[20:29] Kun
    On his own?
[20:31] Koushi
    Fire hunters don't choose their hounds.
[20:34] Koushi
    Hounds choose their fire hunters.
[20:47] Koushi
    Kun, quick.
[21:23] Kureha
    You mustn't go.
[21:30] Kureha
    You mustn't go.
[21:33] Koushi
    Don't, Kun.
[21:38] Koushi
    Didn't you work for the Okibis?
[21:42] Kureha
    You mustn't go any farther.
[21:54] Koushi
    I have to go. My friends are in danger.
[21:58] Kureha
    Hide.
[22:00] Kureha
    You'll burn.
[22:01] Kureha
    You mustn't die.
[22:05] Kun
    Mister...
[22:07] Kureha
    I'm sorry.
[22:08] Kureha
    I'm not a person anymore.

[02:36] Flickering Flame
    They still get muddled and fight.
[02:45] Takimi
    The divine clans, the spiders,
    and the humans who believe in them.
[02:50] Takimi
    Most of the fire hunters
    fell fighting swarms of fiends,
[02:53] Takimi
    the humans using skyfire
     destroyed themselves,
[02:56] Takimi
    and the townspeople will
    eventually turn into a violent mob.
[03:02] Takimi
    We can no longer extinguish these flames,
[03:05] Takimi
    because unlike the great fire in the past,
    humans are lighting these ones themselves.
[03:11] Flickering Flame
    Devastation will come, whether I act or not.
[03:16] Takimi
    There aren't many humans or gods left.
[03:20] Takimi
    Anyone can see this world is dwindling.
[03:24] Takimi
    Humans of the past would have devoted
    all of their skills to finding a solution,
[03:30] Takimi
    but humanity lacks the resources now.
[03:33] Takimi
    That's why we're going to lend you a hand.
[03:37] Koushi
    What did you do to Hinako?
[03:40] Takimi
    Industrial toxins would have
    caused her ever greater pain,
[03:44] Takimi
    ultimately killing her within ten years.
[03:47] Takimi
    But Hinako has already
    overcome that hurdle.
[03:52] Koushi
    Don't give me that!
[03:55] Hibari
    We'll have none of that.
[04:00] Koushi
    Stop...
[04:03] Hibari
    Do not fight in the presence
    of the Flickering Flame.
[04:08] Hibari
    Your job is to put out fires,
    not stand around chatting.
[04:13] Takimi
    Oh, I take my work very seriously.
[04:16] Takimi
    Though I imagine it won't amount to much.
[04:19] Hibari
    You ought to know
    we have no time for griping.
[04:24] Takimi
    And how did we fail to detect the spiders
     until the situation got so dire?
[04:29] Takimi
    I believe intelligence falls
    within the Wind Clan's purview.
[04:34] Takimi
    Or has someone been
    concealing suspicious activity?
[04:39] Flickering Flame
    Let him go now.
[04:43] Koushi
    What did you do?
    And I don't mean just to Hinako...
[04:46] Koushi
    What did you do to the
    Okibis' servants? To humans?
[04:51] Takimi
    We of the Water Clan merely acted
    on our desire to help humanity survive.
[04:58] Takimi
    Unlike the other clans, we aren't content
    to sit and wait for the Millennial Comet.
[05:04] Takimi
    Of course, our attempts to remake
    bodies were met with many setbacks.
[05:09] Takimi
    But with the help of a superb subject,
    we perfected the formula.
[05:14] Takimi
    We created a new human race. One at home
    in darkness, without the need for fire.
[05:23] Koushi
    How could you toy with people like that?
[05:27] Koushi
    Why would you go that far to keep us alive?
[05:31] Takimi
    Because making sacrifices now
    will prove beneficial in the long run.
[05:36] Takimi
    Flickering Flame, it seems you refuse
    to become the next Lady Goddess.
[05:41] Takimi
    But since no suitable lady
    has been born to the divine clans,
[05:45] Takimi
    only you can inherit that mantle.
[05:48] Flickering Flame
    Would I become like Tayura?
[05:52] Flickering Flame
    What will happen to Tayura if I succeed her?
[05:56] Takimi
    The Earth Clan has chosen
    a vessel from among the humans.
[06:02] Takimi
    They plan to enthrone you as
    the Lady Goddess by force if necessary.
[06:06] Hibari
    Sister, you need not listen to this prattle.
[06:17] Kun
    Mister. Mister!
[06:20] Kun
    Hey, are you okay?
[06:22] Koushi
    Yeah.
[06:23] Koushi
    Where are we?
[06:25] Hibari
    Did hitting your head give you bad dreams?
[06:29] Koushi
    I know you showed me that.
[06:31] Hibari
    Think what you like.
[06:34] Koushi
    Forget him, Kun.
[06:36] Hibari
    Wandering around will get you killed.
    Fires are still burning here and there.
[06:42] Hibari
    The girl with the dog is over that way.
[06:45] Koushi
    Touko?
[06:47] Hibari
    The Water Clan is putting out fires,
    but there must be spiders around, too.
[06:53] Hibari
    So be careful.
[06:55] Koushi
    What is a "vessel"?
[06:57] Hibari
    A human that will house
     the Flickering Flame.
[07:01] Koushi
    "House" her?
[07:03] Hibari
    They picked your foster parents' daughter.
[07:06] Koushi
    Kira?
[07:08] Hibari
    They needed a wealthy girl
    uncontaminated by the toxic waste.
[07:12] Hibari
    One who was physically and mentally fit
    to become the Lady Goddess.
[07:16] Hibari
    Candidates were in short supply.
[07:19] Hibari
    You must have had some inkling.
[07:22] Hibari
    Aside from the doctor
    who called himself Takimi,
[07:25] Hibari
    one more god frequented
     the Okibi household.
[07:29] Hibari
    He pretended to be a human teacher.
[07:33] Hibari
    You never suspected him?
[07:36] Hibari
    Well, clever as you seem, you are only human.
[07:41] Hibari
    Or maybe I should compliment
    the old man on his disguise.
[07:51] Kun
    When did he leave?
[07:54] Kun
    I never took my eyes off him.
[08:56] Touko
    Kun!
[08:57] Kun
    Lady!
[09:04] Kun
    Lady!
[09:05] Touko
    Kun!
[09:16] Touko
    Mr. Koushi.
[09:23] Koushi
    I'm sorry. I... I...
[09:27] Koushi
    I've been working like mad
    to cause these horrors.
[09:31] Koushi
    With the skyfire my father left
    and the Okibis' influence,
[09:36] Koushi
    I convinced myself
    I could protect this city.
[09:40] Koushi
    I ended up creating horrible weapons.
[09:44] Koushi
    Protect the city?
[09:47] Koushi
    I just created heaps of charred corpses.
[10:01] Koushi
    Gods?
[10:16] Yuoshichi
    What a glorious sight.
[10:22] Koushi
    Yuoshichi, sir.
[10:24] Koushi
    Why are you here? And is that blood?
[10:31] Yuoshichi
    The gods rule humans, yet they despise
    the blood in our veins and view it as unclean.
[10:41] Yuoshichi
    Still, it looks like
    the lightning only struck spiders.
[10:46] Yuoshichi
    I wish it could have killed gods, too.
[10:51] Yuoshichi
    This takes me back to the great fire.
[10:55] Yuoshichi
    The bodies littering the ground,
    the charred smell in the air...
[11:00] Yuoshichi
    My mother burned back then.
[11:04] Yuoshichi
    She helped me into a canal
    before she combusted.
[11:08] Yuoshichi
    The stink of burned humans
    lingered for days, even weeks.
[11:13] Yuoshichi
    Children who'd lost their food and homes
     had no choice but to forage.
[11:21] Yuoshichi
    I'll make those conceited gods
    feel humanity's rage.
[11:27] Yuoshichi
    That's all I've lived for
    since I survived the great fire.
[11:34] Yuoshichi
    I no longer have any need of your services.
[11:38] Yuoshichi
    Use that tunnel and
    escape to wherever you like.
[11:43] Butler
    Sir.
[11:53] Yuoshichi
    Try to survive, just like I did.
[12:10] Touko
    Temari!
[12:12] Touko
    Ms. Akira? Are you there?
[12:29] Touko
    Ms. Akira!
[12:31] Kun
    Lady!
[12:36] Koushi
    Where's Akira?
[12:37] Touko
    She isn't here. Only Temari.
[12:44] Koushi
    Akira...
[12:51] Koushi
    Akira got separated from Temari.
[12:56] Koushi
    And we still don't know where Hinako is.
[12:59] Touko
    Um, Mr. Koushi.
[13:01] Touko
    I think Hinako is at a relief station
    in the factory district.
[13:06] Koushi
    What?
[13:07] Touko
    She's helping Ms. Kiri of the treefolk
    treat the fire hunters who got hurt.
[13:13] Touko
    A goddess told me so.
[13:17] Koushi
    One from the divine clans?
[13:20] Touko
    She scared me.
[13:22] Touko
    The forbidden quarter treefolk said
     she was the goddess who made them.
[13:27] Koushi
    "Goddess"? There's nothing holy about them.
[13:32] Koushi
    Hinako, the forbidden quarter
    treefolk, and now Kira.
[13:37] Koushi
    They treat us like lab rats.
[13:40] Touko
    Ms. Kira?
[13:43] Koushi
    Kira was chosen as a vessel.
[13:45] Touko
    What's that?
[13:47] Koushi
    It sounds like the
    Lady Goddess is on her last legs.
[13:49] Koushi
    So the divine clans want to put
    the Flickering Flame inside Kira
[13:54] Koushi
    to make her the new Lady Goddess.
[13:56] Touko
    Put a goddess inside her?
[13:59] Koushi
    That shows how little
     humans matter to them.
[14:03] Koushi
    They don't care what we think or feel.
[14:10] Touko
    Why, Mr. Koushi?
[14:13] Touko
    My grandma always said the fire hunters
    made the world a better place.
[14:19] Touko
    Humans used to live in the forest, hiding
    from fiends without villages or houses.
[14:27] Touko
    We had no fire, so we had nothing to eat,
    and lots of people starved to death.
[14:36] Koushi
    I wish you'd never gotten
    caught up in all this, Touko.
[14:41] Koushi
    If you'd stayed in your village,
    at least you wouldn't be in so much danger.
[14:46] Touko
    But I'd still know nothing
     if I'd stayed at home.
[14:51] Touko
    I wouldn't have met Kaho, Mr. Shouzou,
    Hotaru, Benio, or Ms. Akira.
[15:00] Touko
    You go look for Hinako, Mr. Koushi.
[15:03] Touko
    I'll find Ms. Akira and
    go to the palace with her.
[15:11] Koushi
    No, I'll go with you.
[15:13] Touko
    But...
[15:14] Koushi
    It's fine. Hinako will
    be safer with the treefolk,
[15:18] Koushi
    and she won't have to fight or hurt others...
[15:22] Koushi
    or kill again.
[15:28] Koushi
    We should all stick together from now on.
[15:41] Koushi
    But which way do we go?
[15:48] Koushi
    That thing...
[15:50] Koushi
    It was near the tunnel entrance earlier, too.
[15:55] Touko
    What?
[15:57] Koushi
    Is someone trying to guide us?
[16:00] Touko
    Huh?
[16:04] Touko
    Ms. Flickering Flame?
[16:08] Koushi
    I guess we have to follow it.
[16:29] Koushi
    This looks like a facility to purify
    wastewater and send it somewhere.
[16:36] Kun
    Water!
[16:38] Koushi
    Let's take a breather.
[16:40] Koushi
    We could use some water, too.
[16:44] Touko
    Mr. Koushi.
[16:45] Koushi
    Hm?
[16:46] Touko
    What is the Flickering Flame?
[16:48] Koushi
    No idea.
[16:50] Koushi
    She's been called the Millennial Comet,
    the star child, the mechanical doll...
[16:57] Touko
    Do you think she really is a goddess?
[17:00] Koushi
    Oh, right. You said the Flickering Flame
    might be guiding us earlier.
[17:06] Touko
    I don't know for sure, but I feel like
    I've met her a lot in my dreams.
[17:11] Koushi
    In your dreams?
[17:13] Flickering Flame
    I was made that way.
[17:17] Flickering Flame
    The world was ending
    due to pollution and war,
[17:20] Flickering Flame
    and I was sent up to save it from the sky.
[17:25] Flickering Flame
    To find people who needed help from orbit.
[17:31] Flickering Flame
    Isolated settlements.
[17:33] Flickering Flame
    Stranded soldiers.
[17:35] Flickering Flame
    Children and livestock buried alive.
[17:38] Flickering Flame
    Wanderers who'd lost their homes.
[17:44] Flickering Flame
    It frightened me.
[17:46] Flickering Flame
    People who should have
    been saved kept dying.
[17:50] Flickering Flame
    The people who should have
    rescued them killed others instead.
[17:55] Flickering Flame
    It seemed like the planet
    was strangling itself.
[18:02] Flickering Flame
    There were almost no facilities
    left to receive my signals.
[18:07] Flickering Flame
    Even when a distress call got through,
    there was no one to help.
[18:13] Flickering Flame
    I didn't want to look.
[18:15] Flickering Flame
    I didn't want to just watch
     from up in the sky.
[18:20] Flickering Flame
    I never meant to come back.
[18:24] Flickering Flame
    My return wouldn't mean anything.
[18:28] Flickering Flame
    But I was designed so I can't change it myself,
    even though I tried for so long.
[18:36] Flickering Flame
    I couldn't overwrite my directive.
[18:39] Flickering Flame
    So I came back.
[18:43] Koushi
    Touko.
[18:44] Koushi
    Touko!
[18:49] Koushi
    Touko, you met the Flickering Flame,
     didn't you? What did she say?
[18:55] Touko
    She tried to "overwrite
    her directive" but couldn't.
[19:01] Koushi
    What directive?
[19:03] Touko
    She said she can't change it herself.
    She was made that way.
[19:08] Touko
    And that's why she came back.
[19:10] Koushi
    She can't overwrite it?
[19:19] Touko
    What have they found?
[19:21] Koushi
    I'm not sure.
[19:25] Touko
    A spy?
[19:27] Koushi
    No, they don't work in the water.
[19:39] Touko
    Kun!
[19:46] Touko
    Kun!
[19:47] Koushi
    Touko! Watch out!
[19:59] Touko
    Wh-What are...
[20:01] Koushi
    Spies?
[20:15] Touko
    A person?
[20:42] Hibari
    What a nuisance.
[20:44] Hibari
    The Flickering Flame has come home,
[20:48] Hibari
    yet the interruptions never cease.
[20:51] Touko
    You're the god from before.
[20:56] Koushi
    Hibari, why did you save us?
[21:00] Hibari
    Learn to show some caution.
[21:04] Hibari
    You're only human.
[21:06] Koushi
    So were they!
[21:08] Hibari
    They aren't human.
[21:10] Koushi
    They are! The divine clans just remade them!
[21:14] Hibari
    So what if we did?
[21:16] Hibari
    Would you abandon the spider child
    to save those humans?
[21:20] Hibari
    The Water Clan controls those creatures.
[21:25] Hibari
    They loosed them into the
    waterways to kill spiders on sight.
[21:30] Hibari
    And even if I'd spared them, they would
    never have regained their humanity.
[21:37] Koushi
    Where did the Flickering Flame go?
[21:40] Hibari
    To the rest of the divine clans.
[21:44] Hibari
    The Flickering Flame is still wavering.
[21:47] Hibari
    The choice is hers to make,
[21:51] Hibari
    but whatever her final
    decision is, it must satisfy.
[21:56] Hibari
    You can reach an even
    deeper level from here.
[21:59] Hibari
    It will lead you to a slope.
[22:01] Hibari
    Keep going and you'll reach the palace.
[22:05] Hibari
    Don't waste the guidance
    the Flickering Flame gave you.
[22:15] Koushi
    The Flickering Flame's final decision...

[02:07] Kun
    Down there, mister?
[02:09] Koushi
    Who knows?
[02:11] Koushi
    Whether or not
    we believe what that god said,
[02:14] Koushi
    the Flickering Flame
    was leading us this way.
[02:18] Koushi
    I guess we just have to keep going.
[02:23] Touko
    Kun!
[02:23] Koushi
    Kun!
[02:25] Koushi
    Kun, are you hurt?
[02:27] Koushi
    Kun!
[02:28] Touko
    Kun!
[02:30] Kun
    I'm fine!
[02:33] Kun
    Hey, wait!
[02:48] Kun
    This fish doesn't fight back.
[02:50] Koushi
    Fish?
[02:57] Kun
    We don't get fish like this in
    forest rivers. Think it tastes good?
[03:02] Koushi
    Why are there fish here?
[03:08] Touko
    So many huge fish.
[03:33] Koushi
    I'm sorry to say they don't seem natural.
[03:37] Touko
    Did the gods make them?
[03:40] Koushi
    They can remake humans. I wouldn't be
     surprised if they made these fish, too.
[03:47] Touko
    But what for?
[03:50] Koushi
    Let's keep going.
[04:07] Touko
    Do you smell that, Mr. Koushi?
[04:15] Koushi
    It's the forest.
[04:16] Koushi
    We're in the dark forest.
[04:25] Koushi
    When did we get here?
[04:49] Koushi
    Akira!
[04:51] Touko
    Ms. Akira.
[04:53] Kun
    Lady!
[04:59] Touko
    Ms. Akira!
[05:03] Roroku
    Hey, kid. Surprised you're not dead.
[05:09] Koushi
    Roroku.
[05:11] Akira
    Yeah, so I met up with him, and
    we got as far as the palace entrance.
[05:16] Akira
    But then, things got weird,
[05:19] Akira
    and the next thing I knew,
    we'd wandered into the forest.
[05:24] Akira
    The gods must have
    pulled a fast one on us.
[05:29] Akira
    Temari and I got separated on the way.
[05:34] Touko
    M-Ms. Akira, your hand.
[05:36] Akira
    Oh, yeah. But it's no big deal
     compared to his.
[05:44] Akira
    This guy's called Roroku.
[05:47] Akira
    He's a wandering fire hunter like me.
[05:52] Roroku
    I helped you out back in
    the factory district, remember?
[05:57] Akira
    Don't sweat it.
[05:59] Akira
    You weren't yourself then.
    I doubt you remember a thing.
[06:04] Roroku
    The gods must have cast
    an illusion to get us out of the way.
[06:10] Roroku
    Did it to you, too, I'll bet.
[06:12] Koushi
    Yes, the same happened to us.
[06:22] Touko
    Mr. Koushi...
[06:24] Roroku
    Fire hunters hired by Okibi
    tortured a captive spider here.
[06:35] Roroku
    I guess he still hasn't gotten over it.
[06:43] Akira
    We'd better figure out
    how to get back to the capital.
[06:47] Roroku
    Let's get some sleep first.
[06:58] Akira
    Koushi, are you awake?
[07:01] Akira
    That god called Hibari showed you, didn't he?
[07:07] Akira
    What the Flickering Flame looks like.
[07:10] Koushi
    Yes, but... was that real?
[07:15] Koushi
    And she didn't seem solid.
[07:19] Akira
    But you saw it.
[07:21] Koushi
    They said the gods have prepared a vessel
[07:24] Koushi
    to make the Flickering Flame
    the next Lady Goddess.
[07:28] Koushi
    They're going to put
    the Flickering Flame inside Kira.
[07:32] Koushi
    Who knows if she's safe?
[07:35] (Flashback) Akira
    You must really love dogs.
[07:37] (Flashback) Akira
    I've never seen Temari so comfortable
     with anyone other than me.
[07:42] (Flashback) Kira
    Thank you so much for letting me
    cuddle your hunting hound.
[07:51] Akira
    Try acting a little more worried.
    At least about the people who matter to you.
[07:59] Akira
    You hated that house.
[08:03] Akira
    But that girl who was born and raised in it
    is the only one you can open up to, and...
[08:15] Akira
    Well, whatever. Get some sleep for now.
[08:49] Spider A
    Boy.
[08:52] Spider A
    Is the enemy always in front of you?
[09:09] Roroku
    What's wrong?
[09:10] Koushi
    Nothing.
[09:12] Akira
    The point of sleeping was to rest.
    How'd you wake up looking even more tired?
[09:23] Koushi
    Kun.
[09:25] Koushi
    I need a favor from you.
[09:30] Koushi
    Can you find one of those bugs?
[09:33] Akira
    What?
[09:35] Roroku
    You sure come up with some rotten ideas.
[09:38] Roroku
    Don't tell me you want that bug
    that made the spiders fireproof...
[09:44] Koushi
    If the spiders can control combustion,
    I don't see why humans and gods can't.
[09:51] Roroku
    I knew it.
[09:53] Roroku
    That's just the kind of thing you'd think of.
[09:57] Koushi
    I killed so many of the spiders
    who entered the capital.
[10:03] Koushi
    I want to at least do what I can
    to stop things from getting any worse.
[10:10] Kun
    I can do it.
[10:11] Kun
    I can find that bug.
[10:14] Kun
    It might go faster if I use my bugs, too.
[10:22] Touko
    Why?
[10:24] Touko
    Why aren't you going
    to help Hinako and Ms. Kira?
[10:30] Touko
    I'm sure they're both okay.
    They must be waiting for you.
[10:40] Akira
    Touko.
[10:43] Akira
    I think Koushi has
    given this a lot of thought.
[10:48] Akira
    We should let him do
    what he wants this time.
[10:57] Akira
    I have three letters.
    They all say the same thing.
[11:03] Akira
    Someone will deliver one.
[11:06] Akira
    Roroku, you take one.
[11:09] Akira
    And Koushi, you hold on to one.
[11:14] Akira
    Good grief. Why do you come up
    with such ridiculous plans?
[11:18] Akira
    I'll take Kun and Touko with me
    to track down those bugs.
[11:24] Akira
    In the forest, Touko will be
    a lot more help than you.
[11:30] Akira
    You two head back to the capital.
[11:33] Akira
    We'll make our way there,
     too, before sundown.
[11:38] Akira
    At least try to fill in
    for the hand Roroku lost.
[11:43] Roroku
    I'm counting on you.
[11:47] Kun
    Chewing these leaves makes you hurt less.
[11:52] Roroku
    Where would I be without you kids?
[12:01] Koushi
    Kanata will go with you.
[12:06] Touko
    But...
[12:08] Koushi
    He's your dog now, Touko.
[12:11] Touko
    Mr. Koushi...
[12:13] Touko
    Stay alive. Please.
[12:30] Akira
    Don't fall behind, Touko.
[12:38] Roroku
    We should get moving, too.
[12:40] Koushi
    What if the path I've chosen
    brings even more destruction?
[12:45] Koushi
    Maybe that's why the Flickering Flame
    can't make up her mind.
[12:50] Koushi
    Will the future be a world worth living in?
[12:54] Koushi
    If a world like that really exists,
[12:59] Koushi
    I'd like to see it, too.
[13:02] Roroku
    Then, you'd better live.
[13:08] Roroku
    I hate this smell.
[13:11] Koushi
    It doesn't look like anything's burning.
[13:19] Roroku
    I hear voices.
[13:23] Roroku
    It'll be a pain if someone finds us.
[13:26] Roroku
    Let's split up.
[13:29] Roroku
    There are three letters.
[13:32] Roroku
    What's the point if we go down together
    before reaching the palace?
[13:36] Roroku
    You deliver yours if I don't make it.
[13:39] Roroku
    But find your sister first.
[13:44] Roroku
    Little Miss Okibi must be in the palace.
[13:47] Roroku
    Go find your sister, then bring her back.
[14:22] Crewman A
    Hey.
[14:24] Crewman A
    Did you get left behind?
[14:27] Crewman B
    Why didn't you run for it?
[14:30] Crewman A
    Don't tell me...
[14:32] Crewman A
    Are you with those guys
    going around setting fires?
[14:36] Crewman B
    Tell us the truth.
[14:38] Koushi
    N-No, I'm...
[14:42] Crewman B
    Hang on. Are you from the academy?
[14:45] Crewman A
    What? Some brat here to help his teacher?
[14:48] Crewman A
    I can't stand those eggheads,
    acting all full of themselves.
[14:54] Koushi
    Are you crewmen? From a collection truck?
[14:57] Crewman A
    Hey, go tell your teachers
    we need more guys to carry the wounded.
[15:03] Koushi
    Please wait.
[15:05] Koushi
    By "the wounded," do you mean fire hunters?
[15:08] Koushi
    And teachers from the academy are here?
[15:11] Koushi
    What about—
[15:11] Crewman B
    What?
[15:12] Koushi
    The factory district.
[15:14] Koushi
    I'm looking for my sister.
[15:19] Crewman B
    The only people left here are crewmen
     who are hurt too bad to move.
[15:23] Crewman A
    Well, them, and dogs whose owners have died.
[15:27] Crewman B
    At least that stink keeps 'em docile.
[15:32] Crewman A
    The treefolk smell.
[15:35] Koushi
    The treefolk?
[15:36] Crewman B
    Yeah.
[15:38] Koushi
    Where are the treefolk now?
[15:40] Crewman A
    Over there. At the relief station.
[15:42] Koushi
    I'll try there.
[15:44] Koushi
    Thank you.
[15:47] Koushi
    Thank you!
[15:59] Akira
    Koushi told me.
[16:01] Akira
    You talked with the Flickering Flame.
[16:04] Touko
    Did I really? It might have been a dream.
[16:09] Akira
    Koushi saw it, too.
[16:11] Akira
    So I think you really did talk to it, Touko.
[16:16] Akira
    Koushi said it looked like a girl.
[16:21] Akira
    But according to legend,
    the Flickering Flame is a mechanical doll.
[16:25] Akira
    The Flickering Flame you met must be...
[16:28] Kun
    Found some!
[16:33] Kun
    They might still be close.
    Want me to find some more?
[16:36] Akira
    No, that's enough.
    We'll head back to the capital.
[16:42] Touko
    Kanata?
[16:46] Voice
    What are you trying to do?
[16:47] Voice
    You just want to die.
[16:48] Voice
    Believe Tokohanahime and
    become the "lord of the fire hunters"?
[16:54] Voice
    You want to die satisfied that
    you carried on your brother's will?
[16:56] Touko
    Ms. Akira, what's...
[16:59] Akira
    Ignore them.
[17:01] Akira
    The gods just want to spook us.
[17:01] Voice
    Poor Tayurahime.
[17:03] Voice
    False petitions to the Flickering Flame.
[17:04] Akira
    Pretty underhanded for
    high and mighty rulers.
[17:06] Akira
    Let's go.
[17:06] Voice
    An excuse for the divine clans to live on.
[17:10] Voice
    No wonder Hibari pities her.
[17:14] Voice
    Petitions at the chief clan's dictation.
[17:18] Crowd
    Can't we at least get
    disinfectant and bandages?
[17:19] Crowd
    I told you! The medical supplies burned up!
[17:20] Crowd
    What the hell are they thinking?!
[17:22] Crowd
    They have no need of lives,
    so what use is medicine to them?
[17:23] Crowd
    For now, stop the bleeding
    and give them painkillers.
[17:25] Crowd
    What about the group that went
    to pharmacies to get supplies?
[17:29] Crowd
    Let the doctors handle triage.
    Our stock's running low.
[17:31] Hitoo
    Koushi.
[17:33] Hitoo
    Koushi, is that you?
[17:33] Crowd
    Get anyone who can walk to go into town.
[17:33] Crowd
    Shut those dogs up! I can't hear myself think.
[17:36] Koushi
    Mr. Hitoo?
[17:36] Crowd
    It's all because the hunters
    were sent into town without them.
[17:37] Hitoo
    I thought I recognized you.
[17:38] Crowd
    What idiot split up hunters and hounds?
[17:39] Hitoo
    But really, fancy seeing you here.
[17:40] Crowd
    They only listen to their owners.
[17:40] Crowd
    Who cares?! Just get
    them to shut the hell up!
[17:42] Crowd
    Check vitals. We need to free up beds.
[17:42] Hitoo
    Are you hurt? I'm amazed you've survived.
[17:44] Crowd
    This'll become a morgue at this rate.
[17:46] Koushi
    I'm fine. But my sister, Hinako...
[17:46] Crowd
    We need more people. Call the workers back.
[17:48] Crowd
    The standby order got extended.
[17:52] Crowd
    No worker recall until
    they're sure all the fires are out.
[17:53] Hitoo
    This isn't the best place to talk.
    Let's go out there.
[17:55] Crowd
    Oh, great. So no one cares if we burn up.
[17:58] Hitoo
    Your sister, huh?
    That's certainly concerning.
[18:11] Koushi
    The first cannon...
[18:13] Koushi
    What could tear up the ground like this?
[18:18] Koushi
    Did something come up from below?
[18:23] Koushi
    Are you helping at the relief station?
[18:26] Hitoo
    No. Unfortunately, medicine isn't my field.
[18:32] Hitoo
    I'm gathering data.
[18:34] Koushi
    Data?
[18:36] Hitoo
    I want to determine the distance
    at which humans combust.
[18:40] Hitoo
    I estimate the size of a flame,
[18:43] Hitoo
    then measure the distance
    to the point of combustion.
[18:47] Hitoo
    This data will prove useful someday.
    Or so I believe.
[18:53] Hitoo
    By the way...
[18:55] Hitoo
    A strange rumor is going around the city.
[18:59] Hitoo
    They say a red-haired fire hunter
    will become a "lord" and save us all.
[19:05] Hitoo
    It reminded me of that
    red-haired fire hunter I met,
[19:10] Hitoo
    but at this point, it seems like
    more than an urban legend.
[19:14] Koushi
    A red-haired fire hunter...
[19:16] Koushi
    I know one.
[19:19] Koushi
    Let me tell you everything that's happened.
[19:26] Hitoo
    You made this, Koushi?
[19:29] Koushi
    I called it a lightning cannon.
[19:51] Hitoo
    I see. Thank you for telling me.
[19:55] Hitoo
    How dreadful that must have been.
[19:59] Hitoo
    I don't know what to say. For children
    like you to shoulder such a burden...
[20:10] Hitoo
    I feel ashamed of how little I can do.
[20:14] Koushi
    I'm sorry. You always told me
    to turn to you when I was in trouble,
[20:20] Koushi
    but I convinced myself
    I could do everything alone.
[20:23] Koushi
    And I killed so many spiders.
[20:27] Hitoo
    Koushi, I think I understand
    why you keep blaming yourself,
[20:35] Hitoo
    but it doesn't seem quite right
    to say that you bear all the blame.
[20:45] Koushi
    I thought up this horrible machine
    and killed dozens of spiders. Maybe more.
[20:54] Hitoo
    But did you do that out of malice?
    Or because you had some evil intent?
[21:00] Koushi
    I wanted to shield the cityfolk from
    the war between the spiders and the gods.
[21:06] Hitoo
    You wanted to save
    the people you care about.
[21:11] Koushi
    Even if I did, I ended up
     making things worse.
[21:16] Hitoo
    Koushi, sometimes people
    can't bring themselves
[21:21] Hitoo
    to kill one person in front of them,
    even for a good reason.
[21:25] Hitoo
    And sometimes, they kill a hundred,
    even a thousand when trying not to.
[21:31] Hitoo
    That only goes to show that people's hearts
[21:37] Hitoo
    are just as good or evil
     as they think they are.
[21:42] Hitoo
    But a person's true morality ought
    to be judged separate from their feelings.
[21:51] Hitoo
    What could be more arrogant than
    believing you can control everything?
[22:00] Hitoo
    But perhaps I should mind my own business.
[22:05] Hitoo
    Koushi, what is that?
[22:09] Hitoo
    How horrible.
[22:12] Koushi
    They used animal blood
    to keep the gods away.
[22:18] Koushi
    How could they?

[02:12] Hitoo
    You need to think carefully about
    how to use such a massive flame.
[02:18] Hitoo
    You thought up a way to make lightning.

[02:44] Koushi
    I found you.

    Kiri.
[03:01] Kiri
    Don't act so friendly, mole.
[03:09] Koushi
    I'm glad you're...
[03:11] Kiri
    Mukuge and Gomuju are dead.
[03:14] Kiri
    I think Yanagi made it out,
    but with a body like hers...
[03:21] Kiri
    Hurry up and go somewhere else.
[03:25] Kiri
    There's no one here but the dead.
[03:29] Koushi
    Kiri, can you guess where
     Yanagi might have gone?
[03:35] Kiri
    Probably.
[03:37] Koushi
    Then let's go there.
[03:40] Kiri
    She'll be with Kunugi.
    A giant like him will be easy to spot.
[03:46] Koushi
    Who's Kunugi?
[03:47] Kiri
    When you came to the

[03:51] Kiri
    he was right in front of you,

    Damn. Back to square one again.
[04:54] Akira
    Touko. Kun. Stay close to me.
[05:05] Touko
    Ms. Akira, um, about
    those voices in the forest...
[05:09] Kun
    I heard them, too.
[05:11] Akira
    They might be right.
[05:14] Akira
    Fiends don't have
    cunning minds like humans.
[05:20] Akira
    At least, when a fiend comes at a human,
    it can only mean a fight to the death.
[05:27] Akira
    I might be able to relax more
    in the forest than anywhere else.
[05:40] Touko
    There's that symbol again.
[05:43] Akira
    Yeah. Markers for the spiders.
[05:46] Akira
    Looks like this place isn't safe, either.
[05:56] Akira
    Who's there?
[06:05] Akira
    Are you factory workers?
[06:08] Akira
    Did you get stranded?
[06:15] Boy
    Dad.
[06:49] Akira
    You fool!
[06:50] Akira
    Do you want to take
    the kid out with you?!
[07:01] Man
    I was so close.
[07:03] Man
    Just a little longer, and I could
    have freed him from this world.
[07:09] Akira
    "Freed" him?
[07:11] Man
    He could have departed this
    cursed world and been reborn
[07:17] Man
    in a body that won't burn.
[07:26] Man
    May the spiders burn you,
    running dog of the gods.
[07:31] Akira
    I'm not one of the capital's fire hunters.
[07:41] Akira
    Let's go.
[07:47] Kiri
    I know I shouldn't complain
    when I'm leaning on you,
[07:50] Kiri
    but you sure are weak.
[07:53] Koushi
    You're right. You're the last person
    I want to hear that from right now.
[07:58] Koushi
    Let's go.
[08:05] Koushi
    Let's go, Hina—
[08:09] Koushi
    Hinako?
[08:16] Koushi
    Hinako, leave that thing behind.
[08:40] Touko
    Who were those people?
[08:42] Akira
    A couple of firestarters who fell
     for the spiders' empty promises.
[08:47] Touko
    Was it a good idea to just leave them?
[08:50] Akira
    People like that never listen to reason.
[08:54] Akira
    They've suffered for too long.
[08:58] Akira
    So they cling to what they want to hear
[09:02] Akira
    and throw away their families' lives
     along with their own.
SIGN    Kaho
[09:27] Touko
    Kaho?
[09:28] Kun
    Kaho!
[09:30] Akira
    Kaho?
[09:40] Kaho
    I thought I'd never see you again.
     Thank goodness.
[09:45] Akira
    Kaho, what are you doing in a place like this?
[09:52] Touko
    Why... Why are you here?
[09:56] Kaho
    Some of the townsfolk came here
    to help the wounded fire hunters.
[10:01] Kaho
    I followed them.
[10:03] Akira
    Are you part of a collection truck crew?
[10:09] Crewman C
    You must think we're a bit old for it.
[10:12] Akira
    Oh, well...
[10:14] Crewman C
    You see how it is.
    They called up anyone with experience.
[10:19] Akira
    This area isn't safe.
[10:22] Crewman C
    We know.
[10:24] Crewman C
    But for the villagers' sake,
    we need to get the trucks moving soon.
[10:32] Crewman D
    The last convoy never
    came back from the forest.
[10:36] Crewman E
    They say a dragon attacked it
    and killed the whole crew.
[10:41] Crewman C
    Shouzou gave us the gist of things,
    including about what you're trying to do.
[10:48] Crewman D
    Kaho here demanded we take her
    to the factories. She's a real firecracker.
[10:57] Kaho
    Shouzou said I had to tell you
    something if we ran into you, Akira.
[11:02] Kaho
    A lot of the townsfolk believe humans
    will be saved if we listen to the spiders.
[11:11] Kaho
    No one knows what's going on, so they've
    all started believing the same thing.
[11:17] Kaho
    If this keeps up, it'll be a disaster.
[11:21] Kaho
    Akira. He said, "Tell the red-haired
    fire hunter to become the new lord."
[11:28] Kaho
    And that everyone needs
    something they can believe in.
[11:38] Crewman D
    Shouzou sounded like he really
    thought you could pull it off.
[11:44] Crewman D
    Akira, wasn't it?
[11:50] Crewman C
    The capital's a hellhole.
    I lost my wife and kids to factory toxins.
[11:58] Crewman C
    I did heavier work than any of them,
    covered in oil in the repair center,
[12:05] Crewman C
    but I'm the only one who survived.
[12:08] Crewman C
    My friends died horribly, too.
[12:11] Crewman C
    I always wished we could at least
    live and die like people in this city,
[12:17] Crewman C
    and I got old still wishing.
[12:21] Crewman C
    So please.
[12:28] Kaho
    Here, Kun. Food.
[12:30] Kaho
    It's from Shouzou's mom.
[12:33] Kaho
    You'd better make it back, Touko.
[12:36] Touko
    I will.
[12:49] Touko
    Ms. Akira.
[12:50] Akira
    Keep quiet and walk.
[13:34] Hibana
    I thought I recognized you.
[13:39] Hibana
    That dog...
[13:41] Hibana
    That dog brought all the misfortune with it.
[13:46] Hibana
    I knew I loathed animals for a reason.
[13:55] Akira
    You're Mrs. Okibi, aren't you?
[13:59] Akira
    Don't tell me the gods got to you, too?
[14:06] Hibana
    Where's Kira?
[14:09] Hibana
    Where has my daughter been taken?
[14:12] Hibana
    Do you work for them, too?
[14:16] Hibana
    You wormed your way into my house
    and my husband's good graces,
[14:21] Hibana
    you flea-bitten she-fox!
[14:24] Akira
    I don't work for the divine clans.
[14:27] Akira
    They've taken Kira to their palace.
[14:30] Akira
    We're going there to get her back,
    so stay out of our way.
[14:34] Hibana
    You can't possibly imagine how it felt,
[14:37] Hibana
    clawing my way out of the slums
    so I could take my place in that house.
[14:44] Akira
    Like I care. Don't give me your sob stories.
[14:48] Akira
    I can't stand that even if we save Kira,
    she'll end up back in that house.
[14:54] Akira
    How can you live with that man?
[14:56] Hibana
    When poverty left me all skin
    and bones, he gave me meat.
[15:03] Hibana
    He told me to eat up and get pretty.
[15:07] Hibana
    So I followed him.
[15:09] Hibana
    I thought that if I could live with him,
    looking down on the city's riffraff,
[15:15] Hibana
    I could be human, too.
[15:18] Touko
    Ms. Akira...
[15:20] Hibana
    I failed to become a person.
[15:23] Touko
    Ma'am, stop it!
[15:24] Touko
    Aren't you going to help Ms. Kira?
[15:27] Touko
    Aren't you on your way to get her?
[15:31] Akira
    Get back, Touko!
[15:33] Akira
    She's out of her mind.
[15:45] Touko
    Stop!
[15:47] Hibana
    Die!
[16:06] Kun
    I'll kill anyone who picks on her.
[16:18] Akira
    Temari.
[16:23] Akira
    So you made it, too.
SIGN    Koushi, Hinako, Kiri... Kunugi
[17:08] Koushi
    This is Kunugi?
[17:20] Kiri

[17:31] Ruri-Matsuri
    So two treefolk from the garden remain, hm?
[17:40] Kiri
    That's Ruri-Matsuri of the
    Wood Clan who made us.
[17:47] Kiri
    Go away! What do you want after all this time?
[17:50] Ruri-Matsuri
    I came because it's been so long.
[17:54] Ruri-Matsuri
    Plus, treefolk who belong in
    the forbidden quarter are roaming about.
[17:59] Ruri-Matsuri
    True, you can't live away from that place.
[18:05] Ruri-Matsuri
    But I still need to clean up
    after my creations.
[18:10] Kiri
    Shuyu, Mukuge, Gomuju, even Yanagi...
[18:14] Kiri
    All your failures are dead.
[18:17] Kiri
    Kunugi and I don't have long, either.
[18:20] Kiri
    What's left to "clean up"?
[18:23] Ruri-Matsuri
    Aren't you the human
    who made that lightning?
[18:29] Ruri-Matsuri
    You made quite a dent in
    the spiders' numbers. Well done.
[18:35] Koushi
    What happened to the
    Flickering Flame after that?
[18:39] Ruri-Matsuri
    What do you want with her?
[18:42] Ruri-Matsuri
    The Flickering Flame is dangerous.
[18:44] Ruri-Matsuri
    We need to shut her down and bury her
    deep underground as soon as she returns.
[18:51] Ruri-Matsuri
    But the Fire Clan, the spiders,
    and the humans all want her.
[18:58] Ruri-Matsuri
    No one in this world now
    can tame the fire inside her.
[19:03] Ruri-Matsuri
    Not even the spiders
     who have nullified combustion.
[19:07] Ruri-Matsuri
    They all talk about prolonging this world.
[19:11] Ruri-Matsuri
    Those Earth Clan fools
    found a girl to serve as a vessel.
[19:16] Ruri-Matsuri
    The Water Clan remade
    humans into something new.
[19:22] Ruri-Matsuri
    Like that girl, I believe.
[19:27] Koushi
    Hinako.
[19:29] Koushi
    What's wrong? Do you feel sick?
[19:31] Ruri-Matsuri
    The drugs must have worn off.
[19:34] Ruri-Matsuri
    You see, the Water Clan's methods
    don't rebuild bodies from the ground up.
[19:41] Ruri-Matsuri
    They need to keep taking medicine
    to sustain themselves.
[19:45] Ruri-Matsuri
    Their pointless struggles
    only create more busywork.
[19:52] Koushi
    Hinako!
[19:53] Koushi
    Hang in there, Hinako!
[20:10] Kunugi
    Your business is over there, mole!

[21:20] Koushi
    You...
[21:23] Takimi
    I realize this outfit doesn't suit me,

[04:55] Koushi
    Mizore, where's Roroku? Where is Roroku now?
[04:59] Takimi
    Oh, yes. That roaming fire hunter
    kept this hound with him.
[06:00] Koushi
    Kira!
[06:02] Flickering Flame
    Is that this girl's name?
[06:06] Flickering Flame
    Ah. You must be friends.
[06:12] Flickering Flame
    But forgive me.
[06:15] Flickering Flame
    I'm not Kira.
[06:19] Flickering Flame
    I'm just inside her right now.
[06:26] Koushi
    The Flickering Flame?
[06:56] Touko
    Is this... Mr. Kunugi?
[07:00] Akira
    You mean this is a treefolk?
[07:19] Touko
    Ms. Kiri.
[07:21] Kun
    Be careful!
[07:23] Touko
    Ms. Kiri!
[07:34] Touko
    Ms. Kiri!
[07:40] Kiri
    Up there.
[07:42] Touko
    Ms. Kiri, I can't... I can't hear you!
[07:49] Akira
    Koushi's group crossed this treefolk's body
     to the palace on the far side?
[07:57] Akira
    Touko. Kun.
[08:00] Akira
    We're going to the palace, too.
[08:09] Kunugi
    Your friends went on ahead.
[08:15] Kunugi
    Will you birth the lord of the fire hunters?
[08:19] Kunugi
    Then beg forgiveness. The Flickering Flame
     will soon scorch this planet.
[08:25] Kunugi
    Become the lord and beg
    for the star child's forgiveness.
[08:35] Flickering Flame
    She's angry.
[08:37] Flickering Flame
    This girl is absolutely furious.
[08:41] Flickering Flame
    So enraged, she can't keep still.
[08:46] Flickering Flame
    Put me back in my old body.
[08:51] Flickering Flame
    Being in this one feels miserable.
[08:56] Flickering Flame
    And if this keeps up,
    this girl's body won't last, either.
[09:06] Koushi
    Is that Kira? I mean, the "vessel"?
[09:10] Takimi
    Five incisions were made to
    insert the soul, then tied shut.
[09:17] Takimi
    The Earth Clan's handiwork.
[09:20] Koushi
    They trapped her soul inside Kira?
[09:22] Takimi
    The Flickering Flame resides inside
    the girl that was made into her container.
[09:28] Takimi
    That is the Flickering Flame.
[09:31] Takimi
    She may still be able to escape her vessel
    and return to the Millennial Comet.
[09:39] Takimi
    But she would need the
    Earth Clan's help for that.
[09:44] Koushi
    Kira...
[09:46] Takimi
    Flickering Flame,
    you should make the choice.
[09:50] Takimi
    No one has the power to stop
     your decision, in any case.
[09:59] Flickering Flame
    Choose?
[10:02] Flickering Flame
    I chose a long time ago.
[10:06] Flickering Flame
    When I left the ground, I chose never
    to return until I crumble to dust alone.
[10:15] Takimi
    Regardless, you mustn't come out here.
[10:19] Takimi
    Your vessel hasn't stabilized yet.
[10:23] Takimi
    If you push yourself too hard,
    you'll die along with her.
[10:27] Takimi
    Go inside the palace for now.
[10:30] Hibari
    That's enough out of you.
[10:38] Koushi
    Hibari!
[10:40] Takimi
    Oh? I thought you had
    your hands full with human rebels.
[10:46] Hibari
    And what of you?
[10:50] Hibari
    How dare you spill blood fighting
    an animal before the Lady Goddess?
[10:56] Hibari
    Don't set foot in the palace
    until that blood is cleansed.
[11:01] Takimi
    I could say the same to you.
[11:03] Takimi
    I hear that Okibi and his servant,
    traitors coated in impure filth,
[11:09] Takimi
    have made it into the palace.
[11:12] Takimi
    Surely the Wind Clan bears the blame
    for overlooking such trespassers?
[11:18] Hibari
    The Water Clan kept human "test subjects"
    in the palace and lost control of them.
[11:27] Hibari
    Throw them out at once.
[11:30] Hibari
    Otherwise, I'll annihilate them down to
    the last drop of blood and flake of bone.
[11:37] Flickering Flame
    Stop toying with humans.
[11:43] Flickering Flame
    I'm fed up with all this.
[11:47] Hibari
    Sister.
[11:49] Hibari
    We're out of time.
    Please return to Lady Tayurahime.
[11:55] Flickering Flame
    Inside that palace, they're preparing
    to install me on the Lady Goddess's throne.
[12:03] Flickering Flame
    And give me commands that I can't overwrite.
[12:07] Flickering Flame
    I know they have a place
    to write orders into my head.
[12:13] Hibari
    I don't want any of you to become
    puppets of the divine clans, sister.
[12:19] Hibari
    I want you to be free.
[12:21] Hibari
    I won't let anyone criticize
    your choice, no matter what it is.
[12:27] Flickering Flame
    Then return this girl vessel
    and those two to their city.
[12:36] Flickering Flame
    I'll decide after that.
[12:39] Hibari
    Please discard needless
    attachments to humans for now.
[12:43] Hibari
    Some of them are trying to hunt you, sister.
[13:04] Flickering Flame
    Leave them out of this.
[13:07] Flickering Flame
    Stop getting Koushi and Hinako involved.
[13:24] Koushi
    Hinako!
[13:35] Koushi
    Hinako. Hinako!
[13:47] Takimi
    Test subject, hold still!
[13:50] Koushi
    Get your hands off Hinako!
[13:52] Koushi
    Stop!
[13:59] Roroku
    Mizore!
[14:41] Koushi
    Hinako!
[15:31] Koushi
    Roroku!
[15:37] Roroku
    Damn.
[15:55] Takimi
    I see.
[15:56] Takimi
    You aren't... compatible.
[16:03] Takimi
    What a shame.
[16:10] Roroku
    These guys just don't know
     when to stay dead.
[16:13] Roroku
    I'd rather fight a pack of fiends.
[16:17] Roroku
    Sorry I'm late.
[16:19] Roroku
    I tussled with spider
    remnants on the old road,
[16:23] Roroku
    and that ate up time.
[16:36] Roroku
    I don't believe it.
[16:39] Roroku
    So they made the girl
     into their vessel, huh?
[16:44] Roroku
    Koushi.
[16:46] Roroku
    I'll deliver the petition
     to the Lady Goddess.
[16:50] Roroku
    You need to take your sister
    and the girl home. Got that?
[17:36] Roroku
    Akira.
[17:38] Roroku
    This was supposed to be your job.
[17:42] Roroku
    Akira, where are you?
[18:46] Kouhachi
    To think the Water and Wind Clans would
    let a filthy human get this far. Deplorable.
[19:03] Kouhachi
    No human may approach the palace,
    let alone the Lady Goddess.
[19:11] Koushi
    No...
[19:26] Kouhachi
    What can a wounded lesser animal do?
[19:51] Kouhachi
    Lady Goddess... Tayurahime...
[20:24] Yuoshichi
    At last. I finally managed it.
[20:30] Kouhachi
    Filthy human.
[20:32] Kouhachi
    Have you any notion what you've done?
[20:37] Kouhachi
    Curse you!
[20:39] Kouhachi
    I'll rip you apart!
[20:55] Butler
    Master Yuoshichi!
[20:57] Kouhachi
    This can't be. But...
[21:00] Kouhachi
    That Lady Goddess is...
[22:02] Yuoshichi
    One more.
[22:04] Yuoshichi
    If I crush one more,
    the divine clans' rule will end.
[22:10] Yuoshichi
    And that last one must be in there.

    Well done.

    If you survive, I'll let you name your price.
[02:50] Roroku
    Keep your money.
[02:52] Roroku
    I did this for my own reasons.
[02:55] Yuoshichi
    Have it your way.
[02:57] Roroku
    I'm telling you to stop.
[03:00] Roroku
    That's...
[03:01] Roroku
    your own daughter, Miss Kira.
[03:07] Yuoshichi
    I don't care what she looks like.
    No one can stop me now.
[03:35] Yuoshichi

[03:56] Yuoshichi
    I can't believe we referred
    to you weaklings as gods.
[04:01] Yuoshichi
    You're laughingstocks.
[04:04] Hibari
    Sister, please run!
[04:16] Hibari
    Get back! You're nothing but a filthy human!
[04:37] Yuoshichi
    This "filthy human" is going
    to put an end to you gods.
[04:42] Yuoshichi
    So watch closely.
[04:46] Flickering Flame
    What is it you are fighting?
[04:51] Yuoshichi
    I've been working toward
     this moment my whole life.
[05:01] Koushi
    Stop! That's Kira!
[05:10] Koushi
    Have you lost your mind? Let go of Kira!
[05:14] Yuoshichi
    I don't care what container they put
    her in, or if my bloodline dies out.
[05:19] Yuoshichi
    None of that matters.
[05:28] Koushi
    Don't move from this spot, Hinako.
[05:39] Koushi
    Wait!
[05:48] Koushi
    Stop!
[05:52] Koushi
    Stop!
[05:54] Yuoshichi
    I already said I was done with you!

[06:01] Koushi
    Kira!
[06:12] Yuoshichi
    You...
[06:17] Hibana
    You stopped giving me meat.
[06:21] Hibana
    Look how hideous I've become.
[06:25] Hibana
    You must give me more meat.
[06:38] Yuoshichi
    Hibana.
[06:41] Hibana
    I thought I would find you here, dear.
[06:49] Hibana
    That's my daughter.
[06:53] Yuoshichi
    You...
[06:55] Yuoshichi
    You fell into that god's hands, too?
[06:59] Flickering Flame
    Who is this?
[07:02] Yuoshichi
    She calls herself your mother.
[07:07] Flickering Flame
    She is this girl's mother?
[07:12] Hibana
    What were you attempting to do to this girl?
[07:16] Hibana
    She's my daughter.
[07:19] Hibana
    I gave birth to her. She's mine. All mine.
[07:26] Hibana
    You'll never have her.
[07:30] Yuoshichi
    Stand aside.
[07:52] Hibana
    I just wanted to eat meat.
[07:57] Hibana
    I had no other reason
    for joining the Okibi family.
[08:04] Yuoshichi
    I knew that.
[08:06] Yuoshichi
    And I didn't mind,
    as long as you stayed by my side.
[08:12] Yuoshichi
    That was good enough for me.
[08:40] Yuoshichi
    Hibana, you were beautiful.
[08:59] Kira
    Father.
[09:03] Kira
    Mother.
[09:41] Touko
    Ms. Akira.
[09:42] Touko
    Some people... Some people
    fell from the palace.
[09:46] Akira
    Yeah. I saw them, too.
[09:49] Akira
    It looked like Yuoshichi and his wife.
[09:54] Akira
    Damn it. What's going on?
[10:04] Akira
    These are...
[10:08] Akira
    Spiders?
[10:10] Akira
    Why are there spider corpses here?
[10:14] Touko
    Mr. Kunugi said he was going
     to make a grave for them.
[10:20] Akira
    Down below the cliff?
[10:24] Akira
    A grave for the spiders...
[10:29] Akira
    Kun, I know this can't
    be easy, but let's hurry.
[10:32] Kun
    Huh?
[10:36] Kun
    Wait.
[10:38] Kun
    That's Dad.
[10:41] Kun
    Dad!
[10:42] Touko
    Huh?
[10:49] Kun
    Dad!
[10:51] Kun
    It's me. It's Kun.
[11:02] Father
    Kun?
[11:04] Father
    I thought you ended up as
    bug food in the forest long ago.
[11:12] Father
    So the kid who didn't take to the
     fire-restoring insect survived, huh?
[11:20] Kun
    I saw On die.
[11:24] Father
    Everyone died.
[11:28] Father
    Are you the fire hunter
    who wants to become the lord?
[11:33] Akira
    Are you the father
    who abandoned Kun in the forest?
[11:40] Akira
    I hear you're promising humans
     bodies that won't burn,
[11:47] Akira
    but we don't need help from you spiders.
[11:50] Akira
    We humans will take care of ourselves.
[11:59] Father
    So these humans are
    your family now, huh, Kun?
[12:06] Kun
    Yeah.
[12:07] Father
    Then, go with them.
[12:12] Father
    Listen up, human who would
    become the lord of the fire hunters.
[12:18] Father
    As long as humans hunt beasts with
    tools bestowed by the divine clans,
[12:23] Father
    you will remain tied to those
     doomed gods to the bitter end.
[12:29] Father
    Till the soil, acquire sustenance,
    and perpetuate life.
[12:34] Father
    That is how humans should be.
[12:38] Father
    Creatures like you must not be chained
    to this place that is dripping with poison.
[12:46] Akira
    You spiders have killed too many
    humans to make speeches now.
[12:52] Kun
    And humans killed spiders while the gods
     carried on causing human deaths.
[13:16] Father
    Kun, go with those humans.
[13:23] Father
    Human, reclaim fire for yourself.
[13:33] Kun
    Dad!
[13:49] Koushi
    Kira! It's not safe there! Come this way!
[13:53] Hibari
    Sister.
[14:03] Koushi
    Roroku! You're in no shape to be moving!
[14:17] Touko
    Miss...
[14:20] Touko
    Ms. Akira, Ms. Kira's over there!
[14:23] Akira
    Yeah, I see her.
[14:29] Akira
    A god?
[14:31] Akira
    Hibari?
[14:37] Touko
    What? No. That's not Ms. Kira. That's...
[14:43] Kunugi
    Mole.
[14:44] Touko
    Huh?
[14:45] Touko
    Ms. Akira.
[14:47] Akira
    I hear it.
[14:48] Akira
    Is this treefolk talking?
[14:51] Kunugi
    Moles, that human girl has become a vessel.
[14:58] Akira
    That's not Kira anymore.
[15:02] Akira
    Koushi...
[15:03] Akira
    While you take your sweet time,
    the person you care about...
[15:09] Akira
    keeps getting further away from you.
[15:16] Touko
    That's Ms. Flickering Flame.
[15:30] Koushi
    I'll stop the bleeding.
[15:32] Roroku
    Don't touch me.
[15:35] Roroku
    It's fine now.
[15:38] Koushi
    How is this "fine"? You haven't seen
    the future yet. I haven't shown it to you.
[15:42] Koushi
    But I know we'll need fire hunters
    like you in that world!
[15:49] Koushi
    You, too, Mizore?
[15:52] Roroku
    You'll have to...
[15:55] Roroku
    see that future world for me.
[16:00] Roroku
    And get your facts straight.
[16:05] Roroku
    Fire hunting's not my real job.
[16:09] Roroku
    I'm just a fisherman who trawls the seas.
[16:15] Roroku
    Though with this arm...
[16:20] Roroku
    I doubt I'll ever be able
    to haul in another net.
[16:33] Koushi
    Roroku!
[16:54] Flickering Flame
    This planet fell once,
    but it still harbors so much life.
[17:01] Flickering Flame
    To the planet, humans
    and the gods beside them
[17:06] Flickering Flame
    should be no different
     from any other creature.
[17:11] Flickering Flame
    So why does this keep happening
     time and time again?
[17:17] Touko
    Didn't they put you in your "vessel"?
[17:24] Flickering Flame
    I am still inside her.
[17:27] Flickering Flame
    But she feels so angry, so uncontrollably
     sad, the knots have loosened.
[17:38] Flickering Flame
    Even so, I will be pulled back soon.
[17:43] Flickering Flame
    The divine clans seemed to think
    putting me in a human container
[17:48] Flickering Flame
    would let them control me.
[17:52] Flickering Flame
    They thought it was the only way
    to make me succeed Tayurahime.
[17:58] Flickering Flame
    But the girl they turned into my vessel
    did not vanish. Her will endures.
[18:05] Touko
    I need to go back there.
[18:10] Flickering Flame
    Are you not scared?
[18:11] Touko
    I am scared. But even though I won't be
    any help, I want to be with the people there.
[18:21] Flickering Flame
    I have a person I want to be with, too.
[18:25] Touko
    What?
[18:27] Flickering Flame
    I had never thought of it like that before,
[18:31] Flickering Flame
    but I suppose I have a right
    to wish for something, too.
[18:45] Touko
    It looks sort of bigger than before.
[18:49] Flickering Flame
    Yes. It keeps coming closer.
[19:28] Touko
    This is the divine palace.
[19:31] Touko
    Huh?
[19:41] Touko
    Mr. Roroku...
[19:53] Touko
    Kanata, Mr. Roroku is...
[19:59] Touko
    I didn't...
[20:02] Touko
    I didn't want anyone else to die.
[20:32] Koushi
    Lightning?
[20:35] Akira
    What?
[20:40] Akira
    The Millennial Comet looks so big.
[20:44] Akira
    Don't tell me it's falling to earth.
[20:56] Koushi
    What's going on?
[20:58] Akira
    We'd better take shelter.
[21:01] Hibari
    Sister, let's go back.
[21:20] Akira
    Touko!
[21:21] Koushi
    Touko!
[21:30] Akira
    Kun! Hurry!
[22:08] Akira
    A fallbeast.

[01:52] Touko
    But what is a fallbeast doing here?
[01:58] Touko
    Oh. Maybe it's because
    so much skyfire burned here.
[02:04] Touko
    It came to see what was happening.
[02:16] Koushi
    What's going on?
[02:18] Akira
    I can't help her anymore.
[02:23] Akira
    But fallbeasts live in the mountains.
    Why would one appear in the capital now?
[02:29] Koushi
    Why isn't the fallbeast moving?
[02:33] Akira
    It's almost like...
[02:36] Akira
    it's waiting for Touko to hunt it.
[02:42] Koushi
    My father mentioned that.
[02:44] Koushi
    Fallbeasts grow docile in front of fire
    hunters, like they're asking to be hunted.
[02:50] Akira
    Yeah. In front of true fire hunters.
[02:56] Akira
    I get it now. This fallbeast must have
    come to put an end to everything itself.
[03:04] Akira
    Everything.
[03:11] Koushi
    Temari!
[03:16] Akira
    No fire hunter's hound would
    ever turn its back on a fallbeast.
[03:21] Akira
    They're trained, maybe even
     destined, to act that way.
[03:29] Koushi
    Mizore!
[04:24] Koushi
    Touko.
[04:27] Akira
    Touko.
[04:34] Hibari
    I knew it. She...
[04:43] FF/Kira
    Will you hunt me?
[04:48] Koushi
    The Flickering Flame.
[04:51] FF/Kira
    Will you hunt me now? With that sickle?
[04:55] Hibari
    Sister!
[04:57] Akira
    Not now.
[04:59] Akira
    I can't hunt you unless
    you leave that girl's body.
[05:05] FF/Kira
    I can't leave on my own.
[05:09] FF/Kira
    But if you hunt this, that will be the end.
[05:17] Koushi
    Kira.
[05:18] Koushi
    Kira, is that you?
[05:21] FF/Kira
    I was a fool.
[05:23] FF/Kira
    This country under divine rule
    survived even after the world fell apart.
[05:31] FF/Kira
    I believed it was a good place.
[05:35] FF/Kira
    But I was wrong.
[05:38] FF/Kira
    There's... There's an enormous flame here.
[05:43] FF/Kira
    Somehow, I know how to use it, too.
[05:49] FF/Kira
    Because there's someone else inside me.
[05:52] FF/Kira
    This flame belongs to her.
[05:59] FF/Kira
    She longs to be free,
    but no one wants her to be.
[06:06] FF/Kira
    Not even she knows what choice
    will avoid a second devastation.
[06:16] FF/Kira
    If nothing changes, I'll end up using
     this flame to bring it all to an end.
[06:24] FF/Kira
    Even though I know it's wrong
     to think such things.
[06:30] FF/Kira
    To wish that everyone...
    that everyone would just disappear.
[06:44] Hibari
    It's Touko, isn't it?
[06:46] Hibari
    Follow me. Tayurahime summons you.
[06:50] Akira
    Wait a minute.
    Yuoshichi grabbed the Lady Goddess and...
[06:54] Hibari
    That was a substitute.
    A mere pitiable shadow.
[07:00] Hibari
    The Lady Goddess resides
    within the palace shrine.
[07:04] Koushi
    Then, Yuoshichi...
[07:06] Hibari
    Yes. He died without achieving
     any of his ambitions.
[07:59] Grandmother
    Touko.
[08:01] Grandmother
    Are you all ready to go to the capital?
[08:08] Akari
    Grandmother asked you
     a question. Speak up.
[08:14] Akari
    And explain why that dog's here.
[08:17] Touko
    Huh?
[08:19] Rin
    You'd better not have brought
    a hunting hound home again.
[08:29] Touko
    Temari?
[08:44] Touko
    Temari.
[08:47] Touko
    Kanata?
[08:52] Touko
    What about Mizore?
[08:54] Hibari
    That hound went to join its fire hunter.
[08:59] Hibari
    Or so a human might put it.
[09:04] Touko
    Mr. Hibari?
[09:09] Hibari
    That sickle looks newly made.
[09:13] Hibari
    Like Tokohanahime only just forged it.
[09:23] Touko
    What about Mr. Koushi and Ms. Akira?
[09:27] Touko
    Where are Hinako and Kun?
[09:31] Hibari
    You have more important
    things to worry about.
[09:41] Hibari
    Rest easy. No doubt Ruri-Matsuri
    did something for them.
[10:06] Touko
    Are they alive?
[10:09] Hibari
    Alive and dreaming.
[10:11] Touko
    Dreaming?
[10:13] Hibari
    They dream of slitting open their bellies
     and planting bits of nature inside.
[10:18] Hibari
    Of becoming trees and water and stones.
[10:21] Hibari
    They dream of becoming part of this planet.
[10:28] Hibari
    No one here has a spine.
[10:31] Hibari
    They couldn't stop the old world's ruin,
[10:35] Hibari
    and they failed to revitalize it.
[10:39] Hibari
    Many such gods chose to dwell in
    dreams of the old world they yearn for.
[10:49] Hibari
    While they gorge themselves
    on peace and dreams here,
[10:54] Hibari
    Tayurahime focuses the divine clans' power.
[10:58] Hibari
    Even now, she serves as
    the pillar propping up this world.
[11:04] Touko
    Tayurahime?
[11:07] Hibari
    Tayurahime is the elder sister
    of the Flickering Flame.
[11:14] Hibari
    Tayurahime desires words
    to console the Flickering Flame,
[11:19] Hibari
    and as such, she wishes to
    learn more about the outside world.
[11:26] Touko
    What does that have to do with me?
[11:29] Hibari
    She says that she wishes to question you.
[11:34] Hibari
    Tayurahime knows you well
    through the Flickering Flame.
[11:40] Hibari
    You have been chosen.
[12:12] Kun
    Lady!
[12:13] Koushi
    Touko!
[12:23] Kiri
    So you hunted a fallbeast.
[12:27] Kiri
    You're a full-fledged fire hunter now.
[12:31] Touko
    Ms. Kiri!
[12:35] Touko
    You're alive, too.
[12:38] Kiri
    Yeah. That goddess,
    Ruri-Matsuri, brought me here.
[12:45] Kiri
    She even patched up my wounds.
[12:48] Akira
    That god called Hibari decided
    to heal me once before, too.
[12:55] Akira
    One moment, they seem all-powerful,
    then blood makes them recoil in fear the next.
[13:01] Akira
    Are they strong or weak?
     I can't tell anymore.
[13:05] Koushi
    True.
[13:08] Touko
    And Hinako?
[13:10] Kun
    She's sleeping.
[13:12] Akira
    Touko just hunted her fourth fiend.
    A fallbeast this time.
[13:17] Akira
    And she used all three hounds to do it:
    Kanata, Temari, and Mizore.
[13:24] Touko
    What is this?
[13:27] Kiri
    A failed experiment from the past,
    when the gods implanted fire.
[13:33] Kiri
    They've been hiding it here.
[13:37] Touko
    An experiment?
[13:48] Touko
    What do you mean, they "implanted" fire?
[13:51] Koushi
    One of the treefolk, Yanagi, told us about it
    when we visited the forbidden quarter.
[13:56] Touko
    Oh.
[13:57] Touko
    She said the beasts
    held fire in their bodies
[14:02] Touko
    so that it would never
    come near the gods again.
[14:05] Koushi
    Yes. And so, the flame fiends were born.
[14:11] Touko
    They failed back then and...
[14:15] Kiri
    It's just like how they locked failed treefolk
    like Yanagi, Kunugi, and me underground.
[14:34] Koushi
    Did the goddess who brought us her,
    Ruri-Matsuri, want to show us this?
[14:43] Kiri
    I bet she's enjoying your reactions.
[14:50] Touko
    These tubes look different.
[14:53] Koushi
    Touko, don't touch them.
[14:58] Akira
    What is it? What's in there?
[15:07] Koushi
    A human.
[15:09] Akira
    A human?
[15:17] Akira
    You're right. They're all human babies.
[15:20] Akira
    But what does this mean?
[15:23] Touko
    Did they try to put fire inside humans, too?
[15:28] Kiri
    They're failed treefolk.
[15:31] Koushi
    No, that's not it.
[15:37] Koushi
    They look like they're meant
     to become something.
[15:42] Akira
    Become something?
[15:47] Akira
    You mean, like...
[15:54] Akira
    ...gods?
[15:57] Kiri
    Enough of this crazy talk, mole.
[16:00] Kiri
    What would baby gods be doing
    stashed away with these prototype fiends?
[16:10] Kun
    My dad told me the divine clans
    aren't really what they look like.
[16:16] Kun
    They're not real, so why should they act
    like gods and boss humans around?
[16:29] Koushi
    The divine clans are hiding something huge.
[16:34] Koushi
    Maybe the entities we call "gods"
    are made by altering humans.
[16:40] Koushi
    They could be artificial beings
    that humans created.
[16:45] Koushi
    Like the treefolk and
    the people the Water Clan injected.
[16:52] Koushi
    I'm certain the divine clans can't be
    a completely different species from us.
[16:58] Koushi
    That's...
[16:59] Koushi
    That's why the pathogen that causes
    human combustion affects them, too.
[17:08] Koushi
    The legend of Tokohanahime is true.
[17:10] Koushi
    She forged the hunters' sickles
    while she herself burned.
[17:18] Kiri
    Seriously, humans, spiders,
    and gods are all birds of a feather.
[17:28] Kiri
    That goddess, Ruri-Matsuri, might've gotten
     fed up with what they've been doing.
[17:35] Kiri
    But it's a little late for regrets.
[17:39] Koushi
    Akira?
[17:41] Touko
    Akira?
[17:43] Koushi
    Kiri, where's Akira?
[17:45] Kiri
    The fire hunter left.
[17:49] Touko
    Ms. Akira went off all alone?
[17:52] Koushi
    Why didn't you say something?
[17:54] Kiri
    Why do I have to
    tell you every little thing?
[17:59] Kiri
    Though I don't mind giving you advice.
[18:03] Kiri
    Why don't you go chasing after her?
[18:12] Kiri
    You came all this way
    but you're leaving the rest to her?
[18:16] Kiri
    That hardheaded hunter
    doesn't care if she dies.
[18:21] Kiri
    Just like the Flickering Flame.
[18:24] Kiri
    I'll keep an eye on
    the kid and the sick girl.
[18:28] Kiri
    You've got business with the
    Lady Goddess and the vessel girl, right?
[18:34] Kiri
    How long are you going
     to drag your feet for, mole?
[18:37] Kiri
    You're using your brain
    for all the wrong things.
[18:41] Touko
    But where...
[18:43] Koushi
    See those pipes with the glowing fish?
[18:46] Koushi
    Akira reckoned she could follow them
    to the real palace where Tayurahime is.
[19:07] Koushi
    Kiri's right. I need to go.
[19:09] Koushi
    The Flickering Flame...
    Kira must be near the Lady Goddess.
[19:16] Koushi
    Touko, come on.
[19:22] Touko
    Right.
[19:50] Kun
    That guy and the small lady left.
[19:54] Kiri
    Without saying a word
    to you or that sick girl.
[20:00] Kiri
    Those moles plan on coming
    back here, no matter what.
[20:06] Kun
    In that case...
[20:08] Kun
    I've gotta keep us safe until they do.
[20:14] Hinako
    Kanata...
[20:18] Kun
    After all, she's family.
[20:49] Kiri
    How will this world end?
    And what kind of world will follow it?
[20:55] Kiri
    You'll never get another chance to see.
[20:58] Kiri
    Me and the others from the forbidden
    quarter never got to witness anything.
[21:04] Kiri
    But you still have a chance.
[21:10] Koushi
    You know that goddess, Ruri-Matsuri?
[21:14] Koushi
    I wonder if she wants to see...
[21:17] Koushi
    what humans who know the truth will do.
[21:28] Koushi
    I see now. The divine clans can't
    sustain themselves without humans.
[21:35] Koushi
    They aren't ruling to preserve the world.
[21:41] Koushi
    It's all to ensure their own survival.
[21:47] Koushi
    Those fish—or what look
    like fish—are organic machines.
[21:54] Koushi
    After factories use fiendfire, they carry
    the purified residue to the palace basement.
[22:01] Koushi
    Burning that purified fire lets the
    Lady Goddess exceed her natural lifespan.
[22:09] Koushi
    The factory district
    really exists to purify fiendfire.

[01:58] Touko
    Ms. Akira!
[02:09] Koushi
    Akira.
[02:10] Akira
    So you came. That figures.
[02:14] Touko
    Ms. Akira.
[02:15] Hibari
    I only summoned the girl.
[02:19] Hibari
    I have no business with stray fire hunters.
[02:22] Ruri-Matsuri
    Your elder sisters must
    have wanted a look at her.
[02:27] Ruri-Matsuri
    They want to see the
    current world and its inhabitants
[02:32] Ruri-Matsuri
    before they settle everything.
[02:44] Touko
    Ms. Ruri-Matsuri.
[02:48] Akira
    So you're the treefolk's maker,
    Ruri-Matsuri of the Wood Clan?
[02:57] Ruri-Matsuri
    You there. The fire hunter.
    I saw you once before, in the dark forest.
[03:05] Touko
    You were the one
    who made those trees speak.
[03:10] Ruri-Matsuri
    Hardly.
[03:12] Ruri-Matsuri
    The forest was merely voicing
    the hunter's darkest thoughts to her.
[03:20] Ruri-Matsuri
    Now, humans, did you find
    those young specimens?
[03:27] Koushi
    You gods can't exist without humans.
[03:36] Ruri-Matsuri
    Exactly.
[03:40] Ruri-Matsuri
    Eventually, humans like you will appear.
    Ones who arrive at the truth.
[03:46] Ruri-Matsuri
    The divine clans haughtily assumed
    no human would ever realize.
[03:52] Ruri-Matsuri
    That shows you what our wisdom is worth.
[03:56] Ruri-Matsuri
    Fire hunter.
[03:58] Ruri-Matsuri
    Tayurahime's elder sister, Tokohanahime,
[04:01] Ruri-Matsuri
    gave her life to forge
    the sickles you use to hunt fiends.
[04:08] Ruri-Matsuri
    Without those tools, humans cannot
     harvest fire from the fiends.
[04:13] Ruri-Matsuri
    Keeping humans alive and
    maintaining this world's order...
[04:19] Ruri-Matsuri
    The divine clans were certainly capable
    of that in this once-ruined world.
[04:26] Ruri-Matsuri
    We possess superhuman lifespans
    and powers that resonate with nature.
[04:33] Ruri-Matsuri
    And by using our powers,
    we could save those facing death.
[04:39] Ruri-Matsuri
    Some of us did aspire to that,
    like Tokohanahime.
[04:45] Ruri-Matsuri
    Tayurahime's lifespan would
    normally have ended long ago.
[04:51] Ruri-Matsuri
    The capital's factory district is
    her overblown life support system.
[04:58] Touko
    Mr. Koushi said that earlier.
[05:01] Touko
    The capital factories are just
    one big machine to purify fiendfire.
[05:07] Ruri-Matsuri
    Did he now? No wonder
    Hibari took an interest in him.
[05:12] Ruri-Matsuri
    I didn't expect him to
    get that far on his own.
[05:16] Koushi
    Humans wield the sickles,
    and humans supply fire to the divine clans.
[05:24] Koushi
    You can't exist without us.
[05:28] God A
    How long will you let this farce drag on?
[05:33] Goddess B
    I have no patience for human prattle.
[05:37] God C
    By all rights, humans are
     forbidden to set foot in here.
[05:46] Hibari
    Stay, En. You'll get unclean blood
    on Tayurahime's sacred body.
[05:57] Head Clan Member C
    Our people possess the chosen blood.
[06:02] Head Clan Member D
    The planet blesses us
     over the children of men.
[06:05] Head Clan Member E
    We keep their realm alive.
[06:10] Head Clan Member F
    The Lady Goddess combines
    our powers and regulates the flow.
[06:15] Head Clan Member G
    Lady Goddesses are born
     only of the chief clan.
[06:19] Koushi
    Present-day humans are only
    the poor descendants of our ancestors,
[06:25] Koushi
    who played with fire until
    they destroyed the world with it!
[06:31] Head Clan Member H
    We returned fire to the forest
    and admonished ourselves.
[06:34] Head Clan Member I
    Because we admonished ourselves,
    the new Lady Goddesses died out.
[06:35] Head Clan Member J
    To keep the Lady Goddess alive,
    we need even greater power.
[06:41] Head Clan Member A
    The children of men bring it to us.
[06:45] Head Clan Member B
    By enduring now, they will also prosper.
[06:53] Hibari
    I have no choice.
[06:59] Akira
    Touko, you mustn't fight again.
    Not in any way.
[07:05] Touko
    You're wrong, Ms. Akira.
[07:08] Touko
    If Kanata... If Kanata is fighting for us...
[07:15] Touko
    Then I'll fight, too. For Kanata.
[07:19] Koushi
    Humans are miserable creatures now,
    living in fear of fire and beasts.
[07:26] Koushi
    But the divine clans are also... No, even the
    spiders who tried to destroy the capital...
[07:32] Koushi
    We're all being forced to clean up
    after the humans of the old world.
[07:39] Koushi
    We're just killing each other inside a system
    left to us by people who are dead and gone.
[07:51] Touko
    Are you there?
[07:59] Hibari
    Fire hunter, put down your sickle.
    En will attack you no more.
[08:29] Hibari
    Sister.
[08:31] Ruri-Matsuri
    Tayurahime.
[08:35] Akira
    This is...
[08:44] Hibari
    The Lady Goddess of this land.
[08:47] Hibari
    She alone links our divine powers
     and brings peace to the realm.
[08:54] Hibari
    Sister goddess to Tokohanahime,
    and twin sister to the Flickering Flame.
[09:01] Touko
    This is the Lady Goddess?
[09:05] Touko
    No. The Lady Goddess isn't...
[09:18] Touko
    No.
[09:23] Hibari
    Stop, girl! The likes of you—
[09:30] Hibari
    Tayurahime?
[09:34] Touko
    Why... Why do you look like this?
[10:12] Flickering Flame
    Tayura.
[10:14] Flickering Flame
    Try not to move. Your body will crumble.
[10:20] Koushi
    Kira!
[10:43] Tayura-Touko
    Welcome home, Flickering Flame.
[10:48] Akira
    Is that...
[10:51] Ruri-Matsuri
    Tayurahime is speaking.
[10:54] Tayura-Touko
    I've spent so long alone,
    brooding over what to do.
[11:02] Tayura-Touko
    My time had long since ended,
[11:06] Tayura-Touko
    but I resolved to have my life prolonged
    and to serve as the Lady Goddess.
[11:14] Tayura-Touko
    So that you wouldn't feel lonely
    when you returned,
[11:18] Tayura-Touko
    I've waited here all this time.
[11:24] Tayura-Touko
    Long ago, you were birthed to resemble me.
[11:28] Tayura-Touko
    A younger sister who shares my blood.
[11:32] Tayura-Touko
    Just as Tokohanahime felt
    concern for me, I felt it for you.
[11:43] Flickering Flame
    I was launched into the sky to watch over
    the world, and to save and comfort people.
[11:52] Flickering Flame
    But I could only watch the world
    fall apart, helpless to do anything.
[11:58] Flickering Flame
    They all wouldn't stop killing
    and destroying each other.
[12:05] Flickering Flame
    So many humans perished while wailing
    that they never meant it to come to this.
[12:12] Flickering Flame
    The powerless and the powerful
    jumbled together at the end,
[12:18] Flickering Flame
    scorched by their own burning bodies.
[12:21] Flickering Flame
    That made every human on this planet equal.
[12:25] Flickering Flame
    I witnessed the futility of this planet.
[12:34] Koushi
    Kira!
[12:35] Touko
    Ms. Kira!
[12:49] Touko
    Ms. Kira.
[13:02] Touko
    Is this the real Ms. Flickering Flame?
[13:06] Hibari
    I suppose she looked different to you.
[13:13] Hibari
    That was a false face to show to humans.
[13:17] Ruri-Matsuri
    You humans do love judging things
     by appearances, after all.
[13:25] Ruri-Matsuri
    But the need for that has passed.
[13:28] Ruri-Matsuri
    Here in the inner palace,
[13:30] Ruri-Matsuri
    the Flickering Flame can maintain even
     this incomplete body in physical form.
[13:37] Hibari
    My sister synchronized too closely
    with the girl who was her vessel.
[13:42] Koushi
    Kira! Is Kira alive?
[13:45] Koushi
    You toyed with Kira...
    with her body and soul, and...
[13:51] Flickering Flame
    The girl lives still.
[13:54] Flickering Flame
    I have done badly by her.
[14:02] Touko
    When I met Ms. Flickering Flame inside
    the Millennial Comet, she seemed sad.
[14:10] Touko
    You looked so sad.
[14:18] Touko
    The you I met then wasn't just for show.
[14:24] Touko
    It was the real Ms. Flickering Flame.
[14:32] Akira
    This is it?
[14:33] Akira
    A lump of mud and a mechanical doll
    on the verge of breaking down?
[14:38] Akira
    This...
[14:40] Akira
    This is all the Lady Goddess
    you gods worship really is?
[14:45] Akira
    You kept your precious Lady Goddess
    alive in this horrible state?
[14:50] Akira
    Does your own continuation
    mean that much to you?
[14:54] Hibari
    Silence!
[14:55] Hibari
    My sisters were entrusted with everything.
    What would a mere human know of their pain?
[15:01] Hibari
    Never speak so thoughtlessly again
    or it will be the last thing you do.
[15:08] Flickering Flame
    I think it's all right to end it now.
[15:13] Flickering Flame
    You remind me of all the people
    I used to look down at from orbit.
[15:22] Flickering Flame
    The people who panicked,
     ran, sobbed, and died.
[15:26] Flickering Flame
    You remind me of
     all the living and the dead.
[15:31] Flickering Flame
    Those people who lost hope
    but still wished for salvation,
[15:36] Flickering Flame
    even as death claimed them all.
[15:39] Flickering Flame
    I don't mind being hunted,
    as long as you do it.
[15:44] Touko
    What?
[15:46] Flickering Flame
    Because you remind me of everyone
    I longed to save but never could.
[15:56] Flickering Flame
    Hibari doesn't seem to have realized,
[16:00] Flickering Flame
    but I think Tayura called you here
    because she made the same decision.
[16:08] Flickering Flame
    I can't save Tayura,
    and I can't end this world, either.
[16:17] Flickering Flame
    But I can do this.
[16:20] Touko
    No! I can't accept that!
[16:23] Touko
    If I'm like the people
    who died in the old days,
[16:26] Touko
    then Ms. Akira and Mr. Koushi
    and Hinako and Kun must be, too!
[16:34] Flickering Flame
    Yes. But you don't resemble anyone.
[16:39] Touko
    What?
[16:53] Touko
    Ms. Flickering Flame...
[17:03] Touko; Akira
    "On the hunt, a fire hunter
    becomes the dark forest."
[17:08] Touko; Akira
    "She reads the minds of the hostile
    flame fiends and follows their movements."
[17:17] Touko; Akira
    "She grasps the feelings of the fiends
    who dwell in the forest and attack people."
[17:23] Touko; Akira
    "On the hunt, I, too, become a flame fiend."
[17:28] Touko; Akira
    "And so, I harvest life-giving fire."
[17:34] Touko; Akira
    "Gods, humans, treefolk, fiends, and even
    spiders are all equally part of this planet."
[17:47] Touko; Akira
    "I hear the fire to keep this world alive
    dwells within the Flickering Flame."
[17:53] Touko; Akira
    "With that fire, the lord of the fire hunters
    will sustain the world."
[18:00] Touko; Akira
    "Call the Millennial Comet
    to the hunting grounds."
[18:03] Touko; Akira
    "If you will not, then please
    punish this petition's author."
[18:10] Touko; Akira
    "So shall the human who had the temerity
    to write to the Lady Goddess atone."
[19:02] Ruri-Matsuri
    If the Flickering Flame has made up
    her mind, no one can argue.
[19:11] Ruri-Matsuri
    The lord of the fire hunters is born.
[19:14] Ruri-Matsuri
    No matter how foolish a choice that was.
[19:20] Ruri-Matsuri
    Hibari, I assume you don't object?
[19:26] Hibari
    I won't allow anyone to stand
    in the way of my sister's choice.
[19:31] Hibari
    Throughout your long service, your solitude
     and fears always concerned me.
[19:39] Hibari
    May you rest in peace.
[19:49] Ruri-Matsuri
    So this little girl is our new ruler?
[19:53] Ruri-Matsuri
    Flickering Flame, even your
    final choice was true to form.
[20:14] Kaho
    Those fire hunters are getting on, too?
[20:16] Akira
    Yeah. And not just to keep
    the collection trucks supplied this time.
[20:21] Akira
    A fire hunter will settle in
    every village and teach their craft.
[20:26] Kaho
    Touko, will you make paper
    once you get back to your village?
[20:29] Touko
    Huh?
[20:31] Touko
    Um...
[20:33] Akira
    No. Touko will become her village's
    fire hunter and come back here one day.
[20:39] Kun
    The small lady is the
    lord of the fire hunters, y'know.
[20:43] Akira
    I'll fill in for her in the meantime.
[20:47] Akira
    For now, we managed to get crews
    for the trucks together,
[20:52] Akira
    and Kiri and the treefolk
    have agreed to help us.
[20:56] Akira
    Experiments with the bugs
    Kun found will start soon, too.
[21:02] Akira
    We've got a lot on our plates.
[21:16] Koushi
    Are you really sure you want them here?
[21:19] Kira
    Yes. I think my mother
    and father would be happy.
[21:24] Koushi
    It's been almost a week
    since Touko left with the trucks.
[21:28] Kira
    Yes. And Kanata went with her.
[21:32] Kira
    Are you missing them, Koushi?
[21:36] Koushi
    Kanata will come home
     to the capital someday.
[21:39] Koushi
    And this time, Touko will be
    the lord of the fire hunters.
[21:54] Hinako
    A fish.
SIGN    Hotaru
[21:59] Touko
    Ms. Hotaru!
[22:04] Hotaru
    Touko!
SIGN    Papermaker Village
[22:35] Grandmother
    And Touko? Is Touko on board?
[22:40] Akari
    I can't see too well myself these days.
[22:44] Akari
    Is that Touko riding on the roof?
[22:49] Akari
    Looks to me like she's waving.
[22:52] Rin
    Grandma, Mom, I can see
    Touko waving clear as day.
[22:59] Rin
    Touko's... Touko's waving to us.
[23:06] Rin
    Her hand'll fly clean off if she keeps
     swinging it around like that.
[23:39] Rin
    Welcome home, Touko!
[23:44] Rin
    Welcome home, Touko!
