[00:04] Beholder
    Fushi: an ever-changing sphere.
[00:09] (Flashback) Hisame
    Nice to meet you. I'm Hisame.
[00:12] Beholder
    Fushi is met by those who want to take him...
[00:16] (Flashback) Tonari
    Hey, you there.
[00:18] Beholder
    ...along with those who seek to stop them.
[00:23] (Flashback) Tonari
    People who've been poisoned
    are strong against poison.
[00:29] (Flashback) Hisame
    Tonari...
[00:31] (Flashback) Hisame
    of Jananda!
SIGN    Beating Will
[02:07] Tonari
    This is the three-taloned owl
    I've had on my shoulder since I was a kid.
[02:13] Tonari
    Its third talon seeps poison.
[02:15] Tonari
    I've been taking in a little each day.
[02:17] Tonari
    I found out later that it's similar to
    the poison of western morning glories.
[02:22] Hisame
    The owl girl, Tonari...
[02:24] Hisame
    I know of you from my
    grandmother's autobiography.
[02:27] Hisame
    Why are you here?
[02:28] Hisame
    Weren't you the island leader at Jananda?
[02:31] Tonari
    My buddies are taking care of it.
[02:33] Tonari
    I had some unfinished business, after all.
[02:36] Tonari
    Since we've bumped into each other,
    I'll give you a warning:
[02:39] Tonari
    You'd best stop following Fushi around.
[02:42] Hisame
    I can't do that.
[02:43] Hisame
    Fushi belongs to us Guardians.
[02:46] Tonari
    The Guardians, huh?
[02:47] Tonari
    There are many of you in Jananda, too.
[02:50] Tonari
    I figured I'd let them be, so long
    as they weren't harming Fushi.
[02:54] Tonari
    But if you're siding with the
    Nokkers, that changes things.
[02:59] Tonari
    You don't understand.
[03:01] Tonari
    The Nokkers are a threat
    to Fushi and to you.
[03:03] Hisame
    It wouldn't hurt me!
[03:05] Hisame
    This is my dear friend that's been passed
    down to me from my grandmother!
[03:11] Hisame
    This woman's scary, isn't she?
[03:13] Hisame
    She's trying to kill you.
[03:15] Hisame
    But don't worry. I'll protect you.
[03:18] Tonari
    It's taken over your mind.
[03:21] Tonari
    I'll take care of it real quick.
[03:29] Tonari
    Ligard!
[03:54] Tonari
    Shit! It's taken root.
[04:00] Tonari
    No! Don't fall asleep!
[04:03] Tonari
    Is this it for me?
[04:07] Tonari
    Fushi!
[04:09] Tonari
    Fushi!
[04:11] Tonari
    Fushi...
[04:17] Elder
    Hey, you're awake.
[04:20] Elder
    I'm the elder of this village.
[04:21] Elder
    I'm grateful to have met you.
[04:24] 50s Fushi
    What happened last night?
[04:26] Elder
    Follow me.
[04:38] Sandel
    Fushi-san! You made it!
[04:40] 50s Fushi
    What happened?
[04:42] Sandel
    She was attacked by the Nokker in Hisame's
    left hand while we were knocked out.
[04:47] 50s Fushi
    Why?
[04:48] 50s Fushi
    Where's Hisame?
[04:49] Sandel
    The Nokker apparently dragged her away.
[04:52] Sandel
    The Nokkers must have hated her
    more than they hate you.
[04:58] 50s Fushi
    She's hurting all over.
[05:01] 50s Fushi
    You have to do something!
[05:03] 50s Fushi
    Hurry!
[05:04] Tonari
    Don't look like that.
[05:06] Tonari
    You're better off smiling.
[05:11] Sandel
    Here.
[05:14] Tonari
    Wine? At a time like this?
[05:17] Sandel
    There's nothing I can do.
[05:19] Sandel
    It must have made holes
    all throughout her insides.
[05:22] Sandel
    All she can do is purge
    the blood that's built up.
[05:25] Sandel
    So I want her to at least
    enjoy her favorite wine.
[05:28] 50s Fushi
    No...
[05:30] 50s Fushi
    Another one I failed to protect.
[05:32] Tonari
    It's all right, Fushi.
[05:34] Tonari
    I'm feeling great.
[05:36] 50s Fushi
    Is there anything I can do for you?
[05:39] Tonari
    You're going to do
    something for this old bag?
[05:42] Tonari
    I appreciate it.
[05:43] Tonari
    Well, then...
[05:45] Tonari
    Could you stay by my side until I croak?
[05:48] 50s Fushi
    That's all you need?
[05:51] Tonari
    That's more than enough.
[05:54] Tonari
    I heard you've been hiding
    on the island this whole time.
[05:58] Tonari
    What were you doing for forty years?
[06:00] 50s Fushi
    Fighting the Nokkers,
    killing them, eating them...
[06:03] Tonari
    That's it?
[06:04] 50s Fushi
    Oh, no.
[06:05] 50s Fushi
    I feel the most like myself in this form,
    so I tested to see how long I could stay in it.
[06:11] 50s Fushi
    I tried practicing archery
    and training my body,
[06:14] 50s Fushi
    but there was nothing I could do
    that I could be proud of.
[06:16] Tonari
    Why didn't you leave the island?
[06:19] 50s Fushi
    Because...
[06:20] 50s Fushi
    I didn't want to see people dying anymore.
[06:25] 50s Fushi
    I was with a person named
    Pioran for a long time.
[06:29] 50s Fushi
    When she died,
[06:32] 50s Fushi
    I realized I wouldn't have to go through
    so much misery if I just didn't meet anyone.
[06:41] 50s Fushi
    I don't have the power
    to stop anyone from dying.
[06:44] 50s Fushi
    So many people died because
    I couldn't save them, and because of me.
[06:48] Sandel
    Are you going to continue living like that?
[06:51] Sandel
    Alone, secluded?
[06:53] 50s Fushi
    If I can.
[06:54] Sandel
    But you rushed to the village
    when you heard it was in danger.
[06:58] Tonari
    I think you need people who understand you.
[07:02] Tonari
    People who can be your friends.
[07:06] 50s Fushi
    I can't take it.
[07:08] 50s Fushi
    I don't want people to sacrifice
    themselves to help me.
[07:12] Sandel
    Everyone experiences the deaths
    of those close to them.
[07:14] Sandel
    That pain isn't unique to you.
[07:17] 50s Fushi
    You're wrong.
[07:18] 50s Fushi
    Everyone else dies. I live.
[07:21] 50s Fushi
    That goes on forever.
[07:23] 50s Fushi
    I can live by myself.
[07:25] 50s Fushi
    I don't need anyone.
[07:26] Tonari
    Hey, Fushi...
[07:28] Tonari
    I'd like to see the people you've met.
[07:34] Tonari
    It's this dying woman's last wish.
[07:37] Tonari
    Please.
[07:38] 50s Fushi
    All right. Don't be shocked.
[07:42] 50s Fushi
    The first person I met...
[07:44] Fushi
    looked like this.
[07:46] Fushi
    This is when he was really young.
[07:48] Fushi
    I don't know his name.
[07:49] Fushi
    He passed away peacefully.
[07:52] Fushi
    He died because I didn't do anything.
[07:55] Fushi (March)
    The next one I met was March.
[07:57] Fushi (March)
    She took care of me when I was hopeless.
[08:01] Fushi (Parona)
    Parona was desperate to protect March.
[08:04] Fushi (Parona)
    Both of them were killed by Hayase.
[08:08] Fushi (Gugu)
    I met Gugu in Takunaha.
[08:10] Fushi (Gugu)
    He fought the Nokkers for me.
[08:13] Fushi (Gugu)
    But because of that...
[08:16] Fushi (Shin)
    I stole Gugu away from
    his older brother, Shin.
[08:21] Fushi (Shin)
    Gugu had more family.
[08:24] Fushi (Booze Man)
    The boozer, and...
[08:27] Fushi (Rean)
    Rean.
[08:31] Sandel
    What's the matter, Fushi-san?
[08:33] Fushi (Rean)
    And then I arrived at Jananda.
[08:37] Fushi (Rean)
    There...
[08:38] Fushi (Nando)
    I fought this strong guy named Nando.
[08:41] Fushi (Nando)
    Nando sacrificed himself
    to save his younger brother.
[08:44] Fushi (Nando)
    He was a proud man.
[08:47] Fushi (Nando)
    That's why I decided to help
    the people of Jananda.
[08:51] Fushi (Nando)
    There were more who put their
    lives on the line to fight with me.
[08:56] Fushi (Uroy)
    Uroy.
[08:58] Fushi (Mia)
    Mia.
[09:00] Fushi (Oopa)
    Oopa.
[09:01] Fushi (Oopa)
    And...
[09:03] Fushi (Oopa)
    Sandel, Tonari...
[09:08] Fushi (Oopa)
    They're alive.
[09:10] Fushi (Oopa)
    They're both still alive!
[09:14] Sandel
    I'm glad to hear that.
[09:17] Sandel
    Are you all right?
[09:26] Tonari
    Hey, Fushi...
[09:27] Tonari
    What was Tonari like?
[09:30] Fushi
    Tonari?
[09:32] Fushi
    Tonari was...
[09:33] Fushi
    I always thought she was horrible.
[09:36] Fushi
    But she brought people
    to fight alongside me.
[09:42] Tonari
    Was she a meddler?
[09:45] Fushi
    I'm grateful to her now.
[09:47] Tonari
    Is she not horrible anymore?
[09:50] Fushi
    She isn't.
[09:54] Tonari
    Fushi, keep remembering lots about the
    people around you when they were alive.
[10:01] Tonari
    Let that make you appreciate being alive.
[10:17] Sandel
    What will you do now, Fushi-san?
[10:20] Fushi
    I haven't decided yet.
[10:21] Sandel
    I see.
[10:23] Sandel
    I'm going back home to deliver
    the news of her passing.
[10:27] Sandel
    Please become her when you need
    to confront the Guardians.
[10:32] Sandel
    She built her body to be impervious
    to poison for your sake.
[10:37] Fushi
    For my sake? Why?
[10:39] Fushi
    Who are you people?
[10:41] Sandel
    I'm sorry, but I can't tell you.
[10:43] Sandel
    That was her wish.
[10:45] Sandel
    She said she'd be embarrassed
    if you found out.
[10:47] Fushi
    Then could you at least tell me your names?
[10:49] Sandel
    She and I both love you.
[10:54] Sandel
    Better to fight with a lot of arrows
    than just one. Right?
[10:58] Sandel
    Your friends didn't live to make you suffer.
[11:03] Sandel
    So long.
[11:15] Sandel
    Tonari-san...
[11:17] Sandel
    Where are you now?
[11:20] Sandel
    Are you content now with all you've done?
[11:53] Sandel
    She built her body to be impervious
    to poison for your sake.
[12:00] Fushi
    I see...
[12:01] Fushi
    I see now.
[12:03] (Flashback) Tonari
    I think you need people
    who can be your friends.
[12:08] Fushi
    "Better a lot of arrows than just one"?
[12:18] Fushi
    Friends, huh?
[12:35] Fushi
    Should I be looking for people
    who understand me?
[12:38] Fushi
    I don't want to go where
    there are people, though.
[12:41] Beholder
    I have good news.
[12:42] Beholder
    The Nokkers have emerged
[12:44] Beholder
    in two places that are beyond your reach.
[12:47] Fushi
    How is that good news?!
[12:49] Beholder
    You don't have an excuse to
    lock yourself away anymore.
[12:52] Beholder
    Wherever you are,
    the Nokkers will attack people.
[12:55] Fushi
    Why are they attacking
    other people besides me?
[12:57] Fushi
    Are they trying to ruin
    the whole world or something?
[13:00] Fushi
    Why are they doing this?
[13:02] Beholder
    Who knows?
[13:03] Beholder
    I can only guess that maybe
    they are jealous of us.
[13:06] Fushi
    You don't actually know anything, do you?
[13:09] Beholder
    It's not as though I can control
    the minds of others.
[13:12] Beholder
    I can't sense what they are thinking.
[13:15] Fushi
    But you can control
    people's bodies, can't you?
[13:17] Fushi
    So stop them!
[13:19] Fushi
    Don't you feel anything about this?
[13:21] Beholder
    If that's how you feel,
    then that's what you should do next.
[13:25] Fushi
    Quit blabbering and help me!
[13:30] Fushi
    The bastard ran away...
[13:32] Hisame
    Is that you there, Fushi?
[13:35] Fushi
    Hisame? Are you okay?
[13:37] Hisame
    When I came to, I was in this forest.
[13:40] Hisame
    But my friend here guided me to you.
[13:45] Hisame
    Have I done something?
[13:47] Hisame
    I don't remember anything.
[13:51] Fushi
    That thing on your arm...
[13:52] Tonari
    ...needs to be extracted.
[13:54] Hisame
    Please, don't! I'm scared!
[13:56] Hisame
    That form scares me!
[13:58] Tonari
    It's just going to rot off.
[14:00] Hisame
    I don't care!
[14:01] Hisame
    I've already given my left arm to it!
[14:03] Tonari
    Stop being silly!
[14:09] Hisame
    There are still things I need to do.
[14:16] Hisame
    It seems this is the end.
[14:18] Hisame
    My body won't hold up much longer.
[14:21] Hisame
    I will avoid meeting you from now on.
[14:29] Fushi
    I'll take you to the grown-ups.
[14:33] Fushi (Wolf)
    Follow me.
[14:36] Hisame
    Fushi...
[14:41] Fushi
    Take this cloth. Wrap it up.
[14:43] Hisame
    Thank you.
[14:44] Fushi
    We're getting closer to the scent.
[14:46] Fushi
    We'll be there by tomorrow.
[14:49] Hisame
    No! Stay put.
[14:51] Fushi
    What are you going to do when you get back?
[14:53] Hisame
    I'm going to work to maintain the Guardians.
[14:55] Fushi
    "Maintain"?
[14:56] Hisame
    I'll have a child someday
    and pass down my blood...
[15:00] Hisame
    Rather, Hayase's blood.
[15:04] Fushi
    I don't get it.
[15:09] Hisame
    This is the last day I'll see you,
    so I'll tell you now.
[15:15] Hisame
    Hayase had a wish.
[15:19] Hisame
    A secret goal that was separate
    from the goals of the Guardians.
[15:23] Hisame
    It's been shared only between me
    and my mother and grandmother.
[15:27] Hisame
    Fushi, I want to have your child.
[15:32] Fushi
    That's your goal?
[15:33] Hisame
    Yes.
[15:34] Fushi
    Will you leave me alone
    if you accomplish that?
[15:37] Hisame
    I don't know, but I think my mother and my
    late grandmother would both be content.
[15:42] Fushi
    I don't know how children are made, though.
[15:46] Hisame
    My mother said we just need
    to sleep together.
[15:49] Fushi
    That's it?!
[15:50] Fushi
    I've slept with a lot of people,
    but we've never had kids because of it.
[15:54] Hisame
    You have to be a girl of age
    to become pregnant, I'm told.
[15:58] Hisame
    And you have to want it.
[16:01] Hisame
    It's okay, right?
[16:02] Hisame
    My mother said it's too early for me,
    but I'll work hard to bear a child.
[16:08] Fushi
    If that'll make you lose interest in me...
[16:15] Hisame
    Thank you.
[16:17] Hisame
    I can go home proud now.
[16:20] Fushi
    Tell that thing in your arm
[16:22] Fushi
    to come after me when it learns to talk.
[16:25] Hisame
    I'm sure it's listening.
[16:27] Hisame
    Please go to sleep now, Fushi.
[16:35] Fushi
    I guess she needs someone who
    understands her and will help her, too.
[16:52] Attendant A
    Hisame-sama!
[16:53] Attendant B
    Where are you, Hisame-sama?
[17:01] Fushi (Shin)
    She was passed out on the road.
[17:02] Fushi (Shin)
    She's alive, but her arm's beginning to rot.
[17:05] Fushi (Shin)
    I want you to cut it off and save her, quickly.
[17:06] Attendant B
    Hisame-sama!
[17:09] Attendant A
    She's unconscious. Hurry!
[17:10] Fushi (Shin)
    Are you even listening?
[17:11] Attendant B
    We can't have her dying now.
[17:11] Fushi (Shin)
    Fix that thing on her arm!
[17:13] Fushi (Shin)
    Also, tell her parents to be
    better to their daughter!
[17:19] Fushi
    Hold it.
[17:21] Fushi
    I could have killed this kid at any time.
[17:24] Attendant A
    Go!
[17:28] Beholder
    It may be your child with
    Hisame who comes next.
[17:31] Fushi
    It won't be. I didn't sleep.
[17:33] Fushi
    Your reproductive organs do work.
[17:35] Fushi
    You might go to town if you're interested.
[17:38] Fushi
    What are you talking about?
[17:40] Beholder
    Right, sorry. You don't understand.
[17:43] Beholder
    I was simply suggesting
    that you visit a city.
[17:47] Fushi
    Yeah...
[17:49] Fushi
    If the Nokkers are coming either way,
[17:51] Fushi
    I may as well go look for
    someone who understands me.
[17:55] Fushi
    Let's go.
[17:56] Fushi
    To town!
[18:00] Kid A
    Let's race!
[18:00] Kid B
    Wait for me!
[18:06] Shopkeep
    This is from another country.
[18:08] Shopkeep
    No can do. This won't pass.
[18:11] Fushi
    Buy this from me, then.
[18:13] Shopkeep
    I'll take it for one silver coin.
[18:15] Shopkeep
    That'll do.
[18:16] Fushi
    Now, can I have that?
[18:18] Fushi
    Those are three silver coins.
[18:19] Fushi
    You'll need at least two more swords.
[18:21] Fushi
    Here.
[18:23] Fushi
    New food.
[18:25] Fushi
    Nice!
[18:27] Fushi
    Feathers! It's been a while.
[18:29] Fushi
    Nice!
[18:31] Fushi
    Towns are nice.
[18:33] Fushi
    This is nice!
[18:34] Fushi
    I decided to look for friends.
[18:37] Fushi
    But that didn't mean I stopped worrying
    about exposing people to danger.
[18:46] Fushi
    There's a trick to dealing with the city.
[18:48] Fushi
    From my experience so far,
[18:50] Fushi
    the Nokkers showed up if I spent
    more than seven days in one place.
[18:55] Fushi
    The first and second days are safe.
[18:58] Fushi
    The third day on is risky.
[19:00] Fushi
    Even if I can't see them, they'll often
    have sown their seeds in rocks and plants.
[19:06] Fushi
    That's why I leave the town
    before the third day begins.
[19:11] Fushi
    I move elsewhere by the fourth day.
[19:13] Fushi
    I don't stay long.
[19:15] Fushi
    It was really only once every half a year
    or so that I encountered the Nokkers.
[19:20] Fushi
    But...
[19:21] Beholder
    Nine additional victims.
[19:23] Fushi
    They caused harm where
    I couldn't reach them.
[19:27] Fushi
    That was my only regret.
[19:29] Fushi
    If only I could coordinate with someone,
    I could help more people.
[19:33] Fushi
    I need to find friends soon.
[19:37] Fushi
    I traveled from town to town,
[19:40] Fushi
    acquiring food, books, and tools of all sorts.
[19:45] Fushi
    Animals and insects, as well.
[19:47] Fushi
    I needed to remember them
    to produce them in the future.
[19:51] Fushi
    About four months into my travels,
    I learned that Ligard had died.
[19:58] Fushi
    I wonder if it's by Tonari's side now...
[20:02] Fushi
    I envied Ligard for being
    able to return to its kin.
[20:07] Fushi
    I didn't make much progress finding friends.
[20:10] Fushi
    Even when I found people
    who might understand me,
[20:13] Fushi
    when I thought about having to
    watch them die, I couldn't go on.
[20:17] Fushi
    What's left after they die
    is what becomes my friend.
[20:23] Fushi
    We can't come to understand each other,
[20:25] Fushi
    and even if I can talk to them in my head,
[20:26] Fushi
    they only respond in
    the words I already know.
[20:29] Fushi
    These were the only friends I had.
[20:32] Oumi
    Hello, Fushi.
[20:34] Oumi
    I'm the vice president of the Guardians.
[20:37] Fushi
    The Guardians still exist?
[20:39] Oumi
    Yes.
[20:40] Oumi
    We are currently looking for more to
    join us all across the continent of Hena.
[20:44] Oumi
    Any city that joins us is taken under
    our auspices, and they raise that flag.
[20:50] Oumi
    It shows that they are prepared
    to fight off a Nokker invasion.
[20:53] Oumi
    The citizens here will fight
    alongside you if the Nokkers come.
[20:58] Fushi
    Isn't it an act of betrayal
    for the thing on your arm?
[21:01] Fushi
    Doesn't it resist?
[21:03] Oumi
    Sometimes.
[21:04] Oumi
    It seems to be conflicted, but it's
    different from the other Nokkers.
[21:09] Oumi
    It's very cooperative.
[21:11] Fushi
    Are you Hisame's daughter?
[21:13] Oumi
    Yes.
[21:13] Oumi
    Thank you for taking care of my mother.
[21:16] Oumi
    Don't worry. I was born when
    my mother was seventeen.
[21:21] Oumi
    I'm told that you are a kind man who was
    by my mother's side when she was young.
[21:28] Oumi
    She passed away half a year ago.
[21:31] Oumi
    This child in my belly will soon be
    the one to succeed Hayase's will.
[21:36] Oumi
    I hope you'll give us your help
    when the time comes.
[21:39] Fushi
    Yeah... Okay.
[21:42] Fushi
    Hayase's descendants came
    to see me every now and then.
[21:46] Ushio
    I'm the second successor, Ushio.
[21:48] Ushio
    Nice to meet you.
[21:50] Fushi
    Stop it!
[21:51] Ushio's Daughter
    Hello.
[21:53] Chisui
    I'm the third successor, Chisui.
[21:57] Fushi
    One after the other, they were
    a weird, chummy bunch.
[22:03] Fushi
    But as soon as I took on Tonari's form,
[22:05] Fushi
    they'd quickly leave, looking disappointed.
[22:08] Fushi
    It was an amusing sight.
[22:10] Fushi
    I slowly started looking
    forward to them coming.
[22:13] Fushi
    On the other hand,
    a sad truth came to be.
[22:17] Beholder
    Ten Nokkers have emerged
    in the mountains to the north.
[22:20] Beholder
    The Guardians seem to have
    made quick work of them.
[22:22] Fushi
    Oh...
[22:24] Fushi
    The Guardians were the ones who had been
    taking concrete actions against the Nokkers.
[22:38] Kahaku
    What are you reading?
[22:42] Fushi
    Mostly cooking and needlework books.
[22:45] Kahaku
    Large Ship Architecture, Construction 
    Guidebook, How to Make Water...
[22:51] Kahaku
    That's a magic book.
[22:53] Kahaku
    Are you reading because
    you can't make those things?
[22:55] Fushi
    Dunno.
[22:56] Fushi
    Who are you?
[22:58] Kahaku
    The sixth successor, Kahaku.
[23:01] Fushi
    A man?
SIGN    Preview
[24:34] Beholder
    Kahaku, successor of Hayase's will.
[24:38] Beholder
    Fushi spends his days with him.
[24:42] Beholder
    The worship and persecution of others.
[24:46] Beholder
    The ceaseless harm brought by the Nokkers.
[24:49] Beholder
    A strange prince emerges
    before a troubled Fushi.
