[00:02] Narrator
    The giant treefolk, Kunugi, gives his life to
    carry Koushi and Hinako to the divine palace.
[00:12] Narrator
    Awaiting them is the man
    whose experiments changed Hinako:
[00:17] Narrator
    the Okibis' family physician, Takimi,
    who is revealed to be a god.

[02:04] Koushi
    You...
[02:07] Takimi
    I realize this outfit doesn't suit me,
    but it is customary in the palace.
[02:15] Takimi
    Don't worry. The test subject
     will soon recover.
[02:22] Koushi
    Takimi!
[02:24] Takimi
    Please give the subject to me.
[02:33] Takimi
    You can't defy us gods with a toy like that.
[02:39] Koushi
    Don't do anything else to Hinako.
[02:43] Takimi
    That child escaped the death
    that was staring her in the face.
[02:49] Takimi
    She's currently experiencing
    an adverse reaction to her mutation.
[02:53] Takimi
    I need to administer
    medication for her pain.
[02:57] Koushi
    Don't give me that!
[03:00] Takimi
    I shall inject you, too.
[03:03] Takimi
    Although born from the same womb,
    you seem to have avoided fetal contamination.
[03:11] Takimi
    But from now on,
    you can share your sister's pain.
[03:17] Koushi
    And Kira? What about Kira?
[03:21] Takimi
    Oh, the Okibis' daughter?
[03:24] Takimi
    I would have loved to
    experiment on her, too,
[03:28] Takimi
    but the Earth Clan set
    their sights on her first.
[03:33] Takimi
    I could've perfected my drug
     much sooner with her as a subject.
[03:42] Takimi
    Research never proceeds smoothly
    when too many groups get involved.
[03:48] Takimi
    I'm sure you can relate.
[03:53] Takimi
    If I can't have the capital,
    I'll experiment on a whole village somewhere.
[04:01] Takimi
    If I can prove the viability
    of life without fiendfire,
[04:08] Takimi
    I'll be able to save every human
    in this country one day.
[04:33] Koushi
    Mizore!
[04:38] Takimi
    Inferior creature!
[04:52] Koushi
    What about Roroku?
[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.
