[02:27] Koushi
    Kanata?
[02:28] Koushi
    What's wrong, Kanata?
[02:31] Kun
    The small lady is calling?
[02:35] Koushi
    Touko's in danger.
[02:37] Koushi
    Kun, send your bugs.
[02:47] Koushi
    Let's go, Kun.
[02:49] Koushi
    And you, Roroku?
[02:50] Roroku
    Mizore seems to have
    taken a liking to Akira's dog.
[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.
[04:38] Flickering Flame
    Tayura had a dog by her side, too,
    remember? A dog named En.
SIGN    Tayurahime
[04:44] Hibari
    Will you go to our sister?
[04:46] Flickering Flame
    Yes. I want to see Tayura.
[04:51] Flickering Flame
    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.
[05:31] Hibari
    Such a world cannot go on like this.
[05:46] (Flashback) Kouhachi
    I must insist that the
    young lady accompany me.
[05:57] (Flashback) Flickering Flame
    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.
