[00:04] Kahaku
    A mysterious entity sent to this world...
[00:08] Kahaku
    Fushi, a being with eternal life.
[00:13] Kahaku
    The emotions, pain, and deaths of
    those he meets cause Fushi to grow,
[00:22] Kahaku
    and to acquire.
[00:26] Kahaku
    Fushi's travels continue.
[00:30] Kahaku
    I can only hope that his travels
    are to his own benefit.
SIGN    Infatuation Reborn
[02:35] Villager
    Good.
[02:39] Villager 2
    Thanks.
[02:43] Villager 3
    It's still fresh!
[02:45] Villager 3
    Come get a look up close!
[02:48] Villager 4
    Hey.
[02:49] Villager 5
    What's that?
[02:51] Villager 4
    What's wrong?
[02:58] Dad
    Run!
[03:00] Girl
    Dad!
[03:14] Brother
    Hurry!
[04:02] 50s Fushi
    Hey, how long has it been
    since I came to this island?
[04:08] Beholder
    Almost forty years.
[04:12] 50s Fushi
    What the hell have I been
    doing all these years?
[04:16] Beholder
    You are tasked with preserving all of creation.
[04:20] 50s Fushi
    I get that.
[04:22] 50s Fushi
    But how long do I have to keep it up?
[04:26] Beholder
    Let's say, when you're able to replicate
    that ocean, you're complete.
[04:32] 50s Fushi
    Is this not good enough?
[04:34] Beholder
    You need awareness.
[04:38] Beholder
    Awareness that it belongs to you.
[04:42] 50s Fushi
    It'll be another thousand years.
[04:50] Beholder
    Are you lonely?
[04:51] 50s Fushi
    I'm bored.
[04:53] Beholder
    Why not go back in the water and
    play with your buddies in the sea?
[04:57] 50s Fushi
    Quit it.
[04:58] 50s Fushi
    That was a horrible experience.
[05:00] 50s Fushi
    I can't even eat fish anymore.
[05:04] 50s Fushi
    That was another time I tried
    to fight back against it.
[05:09] 50s Fushi
    No...
[05:13] Pioran
    What is your dream, Fushi?
[05:17] Pioran
    Do what you want to do, like I did!
[05:21] 50s Fushi
    So I'm not going to see anyone anymore.
[05:25] 50s Fushi
    That was what I decided to do.
[05:27] 50s Fushi
    That I would live my life as a crab.
[05:30] (Flashback) Beholder
    Fantastic.
[05:32] (Flashback) Beholder
    I see that you're trying to obtain things
    that you couldn't in human form.
[05:37] (Flashback) Crab Fushi
    What the heck is this?!
[05:38] (Flashback) Crab Fushi
    Why?!
[05:41] 50s Fushi
    That species had no eyesight.
[05:44] 50s Fushi
    My memory after that becomes hazy.
[05:49] 50s Fushi
    I took on all sorts of forms.
[05:58] 50s Fushi
    The black thing tells me I traveled
    the ocean for about two years.
[06:12] 50s Fushi
    I've been buddies with this guy the whole time.
[06:14] 50s Fushi
    It's nice to me, even though I can't see well.
[06:17] 50s Fushi
    Once I quit being human, I didn't have
    to think too hard about anything.
[06:20] 50s Fushi
    I'd just picture the foods
    and scents that I liked,
[06:23] 50s Fushi
    and I'd occasionally have to be alert.
[06:25] 50s Fushi
    That was it.
[06:26] 50s Fushi
    But if this guy died, I'd be lonely again.
[06:30] 50s Fushi
    And just as I was thinking that...
[06:33] 50s Fushi
    It abandoned me.
[06:42] (Flashback) Beholder
    The Nokkers are here.
[06:44] 50s Fushi
    I immediately remembered
    Pioran and the others again.
[06:49] 50s Fushi
    I remembered that I couldn't defeat
    my enemies, the Nokkers, by myself.
[06:59] Fushi
    These exploding arrows are useful!
[07:06] Fushi
    There are still more Nokkers!
[07:11] Fushi
    Longer bows seem to work
    better with Uroy's body.
[07:22] 50s Fushi
    I'd suddenly be wracked with guilt.
[07:26] 50s Fushi
    I hated living my life on
    top of everyone's deaths.
[07:30] 50s Fushi
    At the same time, I didn't want
    to lose everyone, either.
[07:39] 50s Fushi
    The Nokkers kept coming.
[07:42] 50s Fushi
    I fought them, defeated them, and ate.
[07:48] 50s Fushi
    Forty years...
[07:51] 50s Fushi
    I wonder how everyone's doing.
[07:54] 50s Fushi
    Rean and Tonari must be pretty old now.
[08:00] 50s Fushi
    I'm sure they're fine.
[08:02] Beholder
    Sorry to interrupt your sulking.
[08:04] 50s Fushi
    Not again. Where are they now?
[08:07] Beholder
    They're already rampaging.
[08:09] Beholder
    Off this island.
[08:11] 50s Fushi
    Why aren't they coming here?
[08:13] Beholder
    Maybe they've given up on you.
[08:16] Beholder
    Either they're trying to clear out everyone
    around you, or they're trying to lure you out.
[08:20] 50s Fushi
    Are you telling me they're attacking people?
[08:24] 50s Fushi
    Take me there!
[08:25] Beholder
    It'll take you at least
    a month to get there.
[08:28] Beholder
    Are you going to fall
    for their provocations?
[08:29] 50s Fushi
    People might die!
[08:32] Beholder
    People are already dying. It's too late.
[08:36] 50s Fushi
    Damn it!
[08:37] 50s Fushi
    Worthless Nokkers!
[08:39] 50s Fushi
    Freaking cowards!
[08:42] 50s Fushi
    Try being smarter!
[08:47] 50s Fushi
    We're going. We're leaving the island.
[08:50] Beholder
    All right.
[08:53] 50s Fushi
    I don't know if I can make it alone, though.
[08:56] 50s Fushi
    No, that's not my concern right now.
[08:58] Hisame
    I've finally found you, Fushi.
[09:02] Hisame
    Nice to meet you. I'm Hisame.
[09:04] Hisame
    My grandmother, Hayase, was in your debt.
[09:06] 50s Fushi
    Grandmother? You're Hayase's grandchild?
[09:09] Hisame
    Yes. I've been tasked with leading the
    Guardians, who are here to protect you.
[09:13] Hisame
    So I came to—
[09:13] 50s Fushi
    Stop! How did you find...
[09:18] Hisame
    I looked for you all over!
[09:21] Hisame
    I came here eager to finally meet you.
[09:24] 50s Fushi
    Get away.
[09:27] Hisame
    You kinda smell.
[09:29] Hisame
    Are you washing yourself?
[09:32] 50s Fushi
    Wait, what brought that on?
[09:34] Hisame
    I'm sorry. My mother taught me to do that.
[09:37] 50s Fushi
    Your mother? You mean Hayase's daughter?
[09:40] 50s Fushi
    What happened to Hayase?
[09:41] Hisame
    She passed away before I was born.
[09:44] 50s Fushi
    Oh, really? She's dead, huh?
[09:47] Hisame
    The way you say that...
[09:48] Hisame
    It said in my grandmother's autobiography
    that you're a kind person who values life.
[09:55] 50s Fushi
    Does it say anywhere that she killed
    two people that I cared about?
[10:00] Hisame
    Yes, it was an appropriate action.
[10:03] 50s Fushi
    Appropriate?
[10:04] 50s Fushi
    How old are you?
[10:06] Hisame
    Nine.
[10:07] 50s Fushi
    You don't understand anything, then.
[10:09] 50s Fushi
    Poor kid...
[10:11] 50s Fushi
    The grown-ups have got you brainwashed.
[10:13] Hisame
    It's a good thing not to know.
[10:16] Hisame
    It means I get to have new surprises and
    moving experiences for the first time.
[10:20] Hisame
    About what's right and wrong,
    about you, and about love...
[10:27] 50s Fushi
    Yeah, you're right.
[10:30] 50s Fushi
    Can I go now?
[10:32] 50s Fushi
    I have to be somewhere.
[10:33] Hisame
    I'll go with you.
[10:35] Hisame
    As a Guardian, I must protect
    you from the monsters.
[10:38] 50s Fushi
    You? A nine-year-old?
[10:40] 50s Fushi
    Don't come to me for help if it attacks you.
[10:41] Hisame
    I know.
[10:43] 50s Fushi
    Suit yourself.
[10:44] Hisame
    I will!
[10:46] 50s Fushi
    Hey! What is your deal? You're creeping me out.
[10:49] 50s Fushi
    Give me, like, five meters of space.
[10:52] Hisame
    I apologize.
[11:02] Hisame
    Come eat with us. It's delicious.
[11:04] 50s Fushi
    I'll pass. I have this.
[11:07] Hisame
    What is that?
[11:09] 50s Fushi
    Nokker jerky.
[11:11] Hisame
    Don't eat such a strange thing!
[11:14] Hisame
    Have some of this, please.
[11:16] 50s Fushi
    No, thanks.
[11:17] 50s Fushi
    I'm going now.
[11:20] Hisame
    Goodnight.
[11:26] Hisame
    I've made some tea. Here.
[11:28] Hisame
    There's a hole here. Shall I sew it up?
[11:30] Hisame
    May I help?
[11:32] Hisame
    Shall I scrub your back?
[11:37] 50s Fushi
    Good. I'm far enough away.
[11:40] 50s Fushi
    If I go to where the Nokkers are attacking,
    I might just attract even more of them.
[11:45] 50s Fushi
    But I might be able to help people if
    I make good use of Hisame's group.
[11:52] 50s Fushi
    Hisame...
[11:54] 50s Fushi
    She may be Hayase's granddaughter,
    but she doesn't seem like a threat.
[12:12] Hisame
    No!
[12:14] 50s Fushi
    What?!
[12:15] Hisame
    I'm sorry. I just wanted
    to sleep next to you.
[12:19] 50s Fushi
    This pain...
[12:21] 50s Fushi
    Let me see!
[12:22] Beholder
    What a surprise.
[12:25] Beholder
    So this is the Nokkers' idea of a clever plan.
[12:29] 50s Fushi
    He's been keeping it from me on purpose!
[12:31] Hisame
    I'm sorry.
[12:33] Hisame
    I didn't mean to surprise you.
[12:35] Hisame
    My hand just moved on its own.
[12:36] 50s Fushi
    Did you try to attack me?
[12:38] 50s Fushi
    "Guardians," my ass.
[12:40] 50s Fushi
    I'll cut it off.
[12:43] Hisame
    Don't do that!
[12:45] Hisame
    This Nokker was passed down from
    my grandmother to my mother,
[12:47] Hisame
    and from my mother to me.
[12:49] Hisame
    It's the very will of the Guardians!
[12:51] 50s Fushi
    Huh?
[12:51] Hisame
    It lives by drinking my blood.
[12:54] Hisame
    It does as I say.
[12:56] Hisame
    There, there.
[12:58] Hisame
    See? It's okay now.
[13:00] 50s Fushi
    You can speak with it?
[13:02] Hisame
    No.
[13:03] Hisame
    But it understands what I'm saying.
[13:05] Hisame
    It understands who I am.
[13:08] Hisame
    I am Hayase's reincarnation.
[13:11] 50s Fushi
    What?
[13:13] Hisame
    My grandmother had told my mother that
    she would be born into my mother's womb.
[13:17] Hisame
    I'm truly sorry.
[13:20] Hisame
    I'll sleep over there.
[13:24] 50s Fushi
    Uh-huh...
[13:34] 50s Fushi
    To think the Nokkers and Hayase had come
    up with such a crazy relationship...
[13:39] Beholder
    No matter how far you go, until you crush
    it, it will keep coming back to you.
[13:43] 50s Fushi
    I don't care. It's for my peace of mind.
[13:46] Beholder
    Humans do come up with some
    remarkable methods to avoid dying.
[13:51] Beholder
    It's true that, as long as the will is
    passed down, their existence is continued.
[13:54] 50s Fushi
    Cut it out with the reincarnation stuff!
[13:57] 50s Fushi
    You're going to mess up my mind.
[13:59] 50s Fushi
    What the hell is that thing?
[14:02] Beholder
    To animate an animal, you need a vessel in
    the form of flesh, and the fye to fill it.
[14:07] Beholder
    To move fye from one vessel to another
    may be what you call "reincarnation."
[14:13] 50s Fushi
    Hang on.
[14:15] 50s Fushi
    Wh-What's fye?
[14:17] Beholder
    Fye is the energy that moves a vessel.
[14:20] Beholder
    Humans call it "souls" and "spirits."
[14:24] Beholder
    You can sense it, I'm sure...
[14:26] Beholder
    The moment all the sensation
    coming from a living thing
[14:30] Beholder
    is completely erased and becomes empty.
[14:32] Beholder
    When the vessel breaks, the fye is released.
[14:36] Beholder
    It becomes free to do as it
    wants and go where it pleases.
[14:43] 50s Fushi
    So... Pioran and Gugu and March...
[14:47] 50s Fushi
    And everyone else who died...
[14:49] Beholder
    They've each gone somewhere
    of their own will.
[14:55] Beholder
    It wouldn't be surprising if Hayase
    had died with such strong intent
[14:58] Beholder
    that her fye would carry into
    the vessel known as Hisame.
[15:02] Beholder
    Though her memories are erased,
[15:05] Beholder
    so she would live life as an almost
    entirely different person.
[15:09] 50s Fushi
    Th-Then...
[15:11] 50s Fushi
    Hisame is Hisame, right?
[15:12] 50s Fushi
    She isn't Hayase, is she?
[15:14] Beholder
    That's right. Is something bothering you?
[15:18] 50s Fushi
    It's not as if she was the one
    who killed March and Parona,
[15:21] 50s Fushi
    but I don't feel comfortable around her.
[15:23] 50s Fushi
    And it doesn't feel right hating a nine-year-old
    girl when she has nothing against me.
[15:29] Beholder
    You were tormented by
    Hayase for a long time.
[15:32] Beholder
    It's nothing that shouldn't be expected.
[15:34] Beholder
    It's a common human defense mechanism.
[15:38] Beholder
    If you're upset by the current situation,
    you ought to build up some immunity.
[15:42] 50s Fushi
    Immunity?
[15:43] Beholder
    Approach her a little at a time.
[15:46] Beholder
    It'll be painful in the beginning,
    but you'll soon overcome it.
[15:49] Beholder
    It's arduous because you
    don't know her well.
[15:53] Beholder
    What do you want to do, Fushi?
[16:01] Hisame
    There he is!
[16:02] Hisame
    I was worried about you!
[16:04] Hisame
    Please don't wander off like that!
[16:06] 50s Fushi
    I woke up early to make boats.
[16:09] 50s Fushi
    Gotta row to the next island, after all.
[16:11] Hisame
    Thank you, Fushi.
[16:15] Hisame
    I'm sitting here.
[16:32] Hisame
    Yay! I got one!
[16:34] Hisame
    Let's have it for dinner, Fushi.
[16:36] 50s Fushi
    No, thanks.
[16:37] Hisame
    But I caught it for us...
[16:42] 50s Fushi
    Hey, Hisame...
[16:43] 50s Fushi
    You should go somewhere to have a
    doctor get rid of that creepy thing.
[16:47] Hisame
    I said I don't want to.
[16:48] 50s Fushi
    You're young.
[16:50] 50s Fushi
    You don't need to have someone
    controlling you yet.
[16:54] Hisame
    I knew you'd be a kind person.
[17:00] Hisame
    Over there?
[17:02] 50s Fushi
    Yeah.
[17:03] 50s Fushi
    It was attacked a month ago.
[17:06] Hisame
    I'll go take a look, if you'd like.
[17:10] Hisame
    You're scared that more Nokkers
    would come, aren't you?
[17:13] Hisame
    I've heard something about that.
[17:15] 50s Fushi
    You'll do that?
[17:17] Hisame
    It's the job of the
    Guardians to support you.
[17:21] Hisame
    Wait here.
[17:23] Hisame
    I'll be back by evening if I'm quick.
[17:26] 50s Fushi
    Thanks.
[17:28] Hisame
    Of course!
[17:33] 50s Fushi
    She's late.
[17:35] 50s Fushi
    Could the village have been
    in a really bad state?
[17:38] (Flashback) Beholder
    People are already dying. It's too late.
[17:44] 50s Fushi
    Shut up.
[17:48] Tonari
    Hey, you there.
[17:50] Tonari
    Are you here to check up on the
    village that's been attacked?
[17:53] Fushi
    No, I...
[17:55] Tonari
    We are, too.
[17:56] Tonari
    Worrying, isn't it?
[17:57] Tonari
    We're here to give aid to the village,
[17:59] Tonari
    and we just got some time for a break.
[18:01] Sandel
    Some corpses had emerged
    from a nearby graveyard.
[18:06] Sandel
    Everyone's evacuated already, though.
    Only a few villagers remain.
[18:10] Fushi
    How many died?
[18:11] Tonari
    Six dead, 33 injured.
[18:16] Tonari
    When did you get here?
[18:18] 50s Fushi
    This morning.
[18:19] Tonari
    That's odd.
[18:21] Tonari
    I thought the Nokkers always
    come for you, Fushi.
[18:24] 50s Fushi
    You know me?
[18:26] Tonari
    The white-haired immortal.
[18:27] Tonari
    You're famous. You didn't know?
[18:29] Sandel
    We hear rumors about you all over.
[18:31] 50s Fushi
    No way...
[18:32] 50s Fushi
    I've been on my own for a really long time.
[18:35] Tonari
    Oh, yeah! There was this silly little girl
    who blabbed about you all the time.
[18:40] Tonari
    And those "Guardians"
    people are your fan club.
[18:44] Tonari
    They go into the city daily to talk
    about you and gain more believers.
[18:49] Tonari
    You'd best be careful.
[18:51] Tonari
    They just want to own you.
[18:53] Hisame
    I heard that.
[18:54] Tonari
    Oh, my! Is it you?!
[18:56] Hisame
    You'd better not badmouth the Guardians.
[18:59] Hisame
    Who are you two?
[19:00] Sandel
    Doctors.
[19:02] Sandel
    We've been treating the
    wounded in the village.
[19:04] Hisame
    I see! Thank you.
[19:06] 50s Fushi
    Um...
[19:07] Hisame
    I told the village elder about you,
    and they insist that you use their room.
[19:11] Hisame
    Let's stay there tonight.
[19:12] Tonari
    Perfect!
[19:13] Tonari
    Let's go out for dinner together.
[19:16] Tonari
    Thank you so much for treating us.
[19:19] Hisame
    If it'll make you like us,
    I'll provide as much as you'd like.
[19:24] Tonari
    Should I, though? You already have
    plenty of believers, don't you?
[19:27] Hisame
    Yes, thank you.
[19:29] Hisame
    We've gathered a nation's worth of
    believers in the past forty years.
[19:32] Hisame
    But we need even more people to
    learn of our goals and join us.
[19:37] Tonari
    I don't know...
[19:39] Tonari
    It looks to me like your
    organization's just obsessed
[19:41] Tonari
    with showing off that Fushi belongs to you.
[19:44] Hisame
    That's a misunderstanding.
[19:46] Hisame
    This man has been hiding on an
    island because of the Nokkers.
[19:50] Hisame
    Our duty is to free him
     from his emotional prison
[19:53] Hisame
    and give him a place to belong.
[19:56] Tonari
    But your work so far has
    involved capturing Fushi twice
[20:01] Tonari
    and being frustrated when
    he got away both times.
[20:04] Hisame
    You know a lot about the folklore.
[20:06] Hisame
    We didn't capture him. We gave him shelter.
[20:08] Hisame
    We protect him from the unknown,
[20:10] Hisame
    and we protect the people
    from him, another unknown.
[20:13] Hisame
    Those are our two goals.
[20:17] Tonari
    It looks like there haven't been any
    grown-ups around to take care of you.
[20:22] Hisame
    That's completely uncalled for!
[20:24] 50s Fushi
    May I?
[20:26] 50s Fushi
    I don't care about any of this.
[20:28] 50s Fushi
    Or about the past.
[20:30] 50s Fushi
    Not anymore, at least.
[20:32] 50s Fushi
    Anyway, doctor...
[20:34] 50s Fushi
    Could you remove this mass?
[20:37] Sandel
    It's alive, isn't it?
[20:39] Tonari
    I'm amazed you survived, Hisame-san.
[20:43] Hisame
    I'm a bit thirsty.
[20:45] Servant
    Shall I make tea?
[20:46] Hisame
    Yes.
[20:47] Hisame
    For the others, as well.
[20:49] Servant
    Yes.
[20:55] Tonari
    Hey, Fushi...
[20:57] Tonari
    Have you heard of the silver bat?
[20:59] Fushi
    No.
[21:00] Tonari
    There were people who ate it long ago,
    not knowing it was poisonous.
[21:04] Tonari
    Being the idiot I was,
    I wanted to try something.
[21:07] Tonari
    First, I swallowed a sand
    grain's worth of it.
[21:12] Tonari
    It made me nauseous and hurt my
    stomach so much, I thought I'd die.
[21:15] Tonari
    But I did it once every
    two days, and eventually,
[21:18] Tonari
    it stopped affecting me at all.
[21:21] Tonari
    Next, I ate a whole morsel.
[21:23] Tonari
    I felt like dying again.
[21:25] Tonari
    But I kept it up for a month.
[21:29] Tonari
    Then I ate a whole bat.
[21:31] Tonari
    Once again, I felt like I'd die,
[21:33] Tonari
    and I ate it for a month.
[21:35] 50s Fushi
    And you ended up all right?
[21:41] Tonari
    Western morning glory.
[21:44] Tonari
    That's a flavor that takes me back.
[21:46] Tonari
    May I have more?
[21:53] Tonari
    I became curious about other kinds
    of poisons, so I tried them out.
[21:57] Tonari
    Seed frogs, sea keelback, bitter turnips...
[22:00] Tonari
    I've put all kinds of things in
    my body over the past forty years.
[22:03] Hisame
    What are you talking about?
[22:06] Tonari
    The reason I did all that is because
    it reminded me of the past.
[22:11] Tonari
    I've been poisoned several times.
[22:14] Servant
    Here you are.
[22:15] Tonari
    But I'd always be the quickest to recover.
[22:26] Servant
    This tastes like bane lotus tea.
[22:30] Servant
    In half a minute, you lose your ability to
    speak, and in a few minutes, you're dead.
[22:34] Servant
    The Takunaha would often
    use it to kill Yanome.
[22:38] Servant
    It's been used against me, too.
[22:41] Tonari
    That's about thirty seconds, right?
[22:44] Hisame
    Hold her!
[22:47] Tonari
    People who've been poisoned
    are strong against poison.
[22:54] Hisame
    Tonari...
[22:57] Hisame
    of Jananda!
SIGN    Preview
[24:34] Beholder
    After forty years, fate is set in motion.
[24:41] Beholder
    Hisame, who pursues Fushi,
    and Tonari of Jananda, who opposes her...
[24:47] Beholder
    What effect does Fushi's reunion
    with old friends have on him?
