[00:02] Tokifusa
    Oshtor and his men are sure to take
    the bait and return to Ennakamuy...
[00:07] Tokifusa
    But without realizing
    I know where their nest is.
[00:13] Tokifusa
    We'll capture them all at the
    hunting ground I've prepared!
[00:23] Tokifusa
    The Golden Seal is mine!

[01:58] Haku
    Can you give me more specifics?
[02:01] Nekone
    The court has sent troops to Ennakamuy.
[02:04] Nekone
    Over 2,000.
[02:06] Nekone
    They'll reach Ennakamuy in a matter of days.
[02:10] Haku
    Who is their general?
[02:11] Nekone
    The Imperial Guard of the Left's
    flag is at their vanguard.
[02:17] Haku
    The Imperial Guard of the Left... Mikazuchi?
[02:21] Kuon
    Mikazuchi?
[02:22] Haku
    If Mikazuchi is coming, then...
[02:25] Twins
    Master.
[02:27] Nekone
    Brother...
[02:33] Haku
    We return to Ennakamuy!

[02:43] Ougi
    This is the fastest route.
[02:46] Ougi
    But are you sure?
[02:48] Haku
    It's fine.
[02:49] Haku
    Nekone.
[02:50] Nekone
    Yes. I've already sent messengers,
     as you asked.
[02:54] Nosuri
    Messengers?
[02:56] Nosuri
    Are you asking for reinforcements?
[02:58] Haku
    If Tokifusa's working with Raiko,
[03:01] Haku
    he probably knows the location
    of the hidden village.
[03:05] Haku
    Which means he's sure to
    set a trap on our route home.
[03:14] Haku
    If we can predict that, though,
    there are things we can do.
[03:23] Soldier
    Our targets are moving as predicted!
[03:26] Soldier
    There are seven in all!
[03:27] Soldier
    They have no troops with them!
[03:29] Tokifusa
    I thought they'd borrow troops from Genho,
[03:33] Tokifusa
    but not even one, huh?
[03:34] Tokifusa
    Poor Oshtor... This will be your grave.
[03:39] Tokifusa
    Take your positions!
[03:41] All
    Yes, sir!
[03:44] Ougi
    We're almost to the Great Canyon.
[03:46] Ougi
    An hour's march after that,
    and we're at the border.
[03:50] Haku
    Be watchful, everyone!
[03:58] Nosuri
    Cowards!
[04:00] Haku
    Ignore them!
[04:01] Haku
    Run!
[04:10] Ougi
    Oh?
[04:11] Haku
    What is it?
[04:12] Ougi
    The river's dried up.
[04:14] Haku
    That's fortunate for us.
[04:16] Haku
    We'll head to the other
    side as fast as we can.
[04:23] Tokifusa
    Welcome, Oshtor!
[04:26] Tokifusa
    But this place will be your grave!
[04:28] Tokifusa
    You are completely surrounded!
[04:34] Tokifusa
    Return my Golden Seal,
    and perhaps I'll let you live.
[04:41] Nekone
    Brother!
[04:42] Haku
    As I thought, he surrounded
    us from both front and back.
[04:45] Nosuri
    What do we do, Oshtor?
[04:47] Haku
    Stay calm.
[04:49] Haku
    Ougi, how long until dawn?
[04:52] Ougi
    I'd say less than an hour.
[04:54] Haku
    Plenty of time.
[04:56] Haku
    Everyone, listen.
[04:58] Kuon
    So you have a plan.
[05:00] Twins
    Understood.
[05:01] Twins
    We shall do as you say, Master.
[05:05] Tokifusa
    What's taking them so long?
[05:09] Haku
    Isn't it a bit early to assume you've won?
[05:14] Haku
    Each of us is worth a thousand warriors!
[05:16] Haku
    A few hundred arrows won't
    be enough to stop us!
[05:20] Nosuri
    That's right!
[05:22] Nosuri
    A coward's arrows are nothing to fear!
[05:25] Nosuri
    Feel the power of a true arrow
     of the Evenkuruga!
[05:35] Tokifusa
    Don't be afraid! Go!
[05:40] Haku
    Here we go!
[05:41] Haku
    Eliminate any soldiers that stand in our way!
[05:44] All
    Right!
[06:13] Nosuri
    Weak!
[06:14] Nosuri
    Far too weak!
[06:22] Tokifusa
    I expected this much.
[06:24] Tokifusa
    When one goes boar-hunting, no one's foolish
    enough to stand in front of the boar.
[06:30] Tokifusa
    This...
[06:39] Tokifusa
    is how you hunt!
[06:44] Nosuri
    Where's he aiming?
[06:46] Nosuri
    He's nothing but a false ruler!
[06:54] Nosuri
    Nothing compared to my father!
[06:58] Kuon
    What?
[06:59] Haku
    What is this?
[07:18] Ougi
    So that's what felt wrong.
[07:40] Tokifusa
    Now there's nowhere to run.
[07:46] Nosuri
    How could he do this to his comrades?
[07:48] Nosuri
    Unforgivable!
[07:49] Nosuri
    And you call yourself
    the ruler of Evenkuruga?
[07:52] Tokifusa
    Why should I care?
[07:54] Tokifusa
    If I win, my name will
    echo throughout eternity.
[07:58] Tokifusa
    This is your last chance.
[08:00] Tokifusa
    Any more resistance, and I'll show no mercy!
[08:05] Nosuri
    How low can you go?
[08:07] Tokifusa
    Now, what will you do?
[08:10] Haku
    Very well.
[08:14] Tokifusa
    Smart decision.
[08:16] Nekone
    Brother...
[08:17] Tokifusa
    First, return the Golden Seal
    you took from me!
[08:21] Haku
    You lose, Tokifusa!
[08:24] Tokifusa
    What?
[08:30] Kiwru
    Brother! We made it!
[08:33] Tokifusa
    I-Impossible!
[08:34] Haku
    The tables have turned.
[08:37] Soldier
    General Tokifusa! We must retreat!
[08:39] Tokifusa
    Are you telling me to just give up?
[08:43] Soldier
    No, but... we can't...
[08:48] Tokifusa
    Nonsense! We can still—
[08:50] Nosuri
    Tokifusa, enough!
[08:53] Tokifusa
    What?
[08:57] Tokifusa
    You...
[09:01] Nosuri
    Make amends with my father!
[09:03] Nosuri
    There's no reason for people from Izuruha
    to fight over an ancient grudge anymore!
[09:09] Tokifusa
    So not only does Genho mock me,
    but a girl like you does, as well?
[09:14] Tokifusa
    Genho is a great tree, and I'm just a weed!
[09:17] Tokifusa
    The taller he grows, the more
     I sink into the shadow!
[09:19] Tokifusa
    No matter what kind of flowers
    I bloom with, no one cares!
[09:23] Tokifusa
    Ruler of the clans! One of
    the Eight Pillar Generals!
[09:26] Tokifusa
    Those titles are no more than the
    empty boasting of a fraud!
[09:29] Nosuri
    That's not true!
[09:30] Nosuri
    They're both high honors!
[09:33] Tokifusa
    Don't lie to me!
[09:35] Tokifusa
    But if I have the Golden Seal, things change.
[09:39] Tokifusa
    It's the symbol of power!
    Of a rightful ruler!
[09:43] Tokifusa
    It makes me the owlo of Izuruha,
    recognized by the Mikado!
[09:49] Tokifusa
    As long as I have that,
    honor and power can be mine!
[09:55] Nosuri
    Is this that important to you?
[09:57] Tokifusa
    Of course!
[10:01] Nosuri
    So it's because...
[10:05] Nosuri
    of this thing!
[10:09] Tokifusa
    It's mine!
[10:11] Nosuri
    No!
[10:20] Tokifusa
    It's mine once more!
[10:21] Tokifusa
    Now I am a ruler!
[10:25] Tokifusa
    I am one of the Eight Pillar Generals!
[10:39] Nosuri
    Tokifusa!
[10:49] Nosuri
    Tokifusa...
[11:07] Genho
    Thank you for coming today, everyone.
[11:10] Genho
    I will now perform the ritual of inheritance.
[11:15] Genho
    Nosuri.
[11:16] Nosuri
    Yes, sir!
[11:17] Genho
    Are you prepared to carry the future
    of Izuruha as its new ruler?
[11:22] Nosuri
    Of course!
[11:24] Nosuri
    I am Nosuri, eldest daughter
    of the last ruler, Genho!
[11:28] Nosuri
    With the Mikado gone, Yamato
[11:32] Nosuri
    and its rightful ruler Princess Anju
     are suffering greatly.
[11:36] Nosuri
    I have returned to my homeland
    so I can be of help to her.
[11:41] Nosuri
    Tokifusa's Golden Seal fell
[11:43] Nosuri
    into the waters of the Great Canyon
     with him and disappeared.
[11:50] Nosuri
    But even without the help of the Golden Seal,
[11:53] Nosuri
    I will be a ruler that surpasses my father!
[11:56] Nosuri
    For the sake of the princess, lend me
     your power, the power of Izuruha!
[12:01] All
    Yes!
[12:07] Genho
    Without the help of the Golden Seal, huh?
[12:11] Genho
    Let us celebrate our new ruler, then!
[12:15] Genho
    Today, we drink and eat!
[12:23] Haku
    That concludes my report.
[12:27] Anju
    Well done.
[12:29] Kuon
    What about the court's army?
[12:31] Munechika
    It retreated without ever
    reaching our borders.
[12:34] Munechika
    And Mikazuchi wasn't with it, either.
[12:38] Kuon
    So it was a decoy?
[12:42] Haku
    We have our alliance with Izuruha.
[12:44] Haku
    They will be a great help to you.
[12:48] Anju
    I expect great things from
    you as their new ruler!
[12:52] Nosuri
    Leave it to me!
[12:54] Haku
    This was only possible with Genho's help.
[12:59] Anju
    You have my thanks!
[13:01] Genho
    Your words honor me, but I've done nothing.
[13:05] Munechika
    You're too humble.
[13:07] Munechika
    I'm told you visited all
    the clans in advance,
[13:10] Munechika
    and that's what allowed the ritual
    of inheritance to proceed smoothly.
[13:14] Haku
    I'd love it if you continued to help us.
[13:18] Genho
    I'm not as young as I used to be.
[13:20] Genho
    I'd like to go back to my quiet retirement.
[13:23] Genho
    But, well... I can at least take care
    of things while our ruler is away.
[13:30] Genho
    By the way, I do have a
    question, if that's all right.
[13:36] Genho
    Why are you giving my little
    brat a position so close to you?
[13:41] Genho
    I'm worried she's causing
    you no end of trouble.
[13:46] Anju
    Nosuri saved my life.
[13:51] Genho
    Saved your life?
[13:52] Anju
    After my father passed away, I was poisoned,
    and even had assassins sent after me.
[13:58] Anju
    A fake princess appeared, and I lost
    my position and everything I had.
[14:04] Anju
    And it was Nosuri and Oshtor
    who were there for me.
[14:09] Anju
    They and the others were the
    only ones who stayed with me.
[14:15] Anju
    Is that not enough of an answer?
[14:18] Genho
    It's more than enough.
[14:26] Nosuri
    Father, what do we have to
    discuss that's so important?
[14:31] Genho
    Oshtor, the Imperial Guard of the Right.
[14:33] Genho
    He's an impressive man.
[14:36] Genho
    And every bit the general the rumors say.
[14:39] Nosuri
    It's rare for you to
    praise someone so highly.
[14:43] Nosuri
    Is there a problem?
[14:45] Genho
    No, I've taken a liking to him.
[14:49] Genho
    And I want him for myself.
[14:53] Genho
    Or perhaps I should say I want his bloodline.
[15:01] Nosuri
    Bloodline?
[15:04] Genho
    You always were dense.
[15:08] Genho
    I'm telling you to get intimate with him!
[15:19] Nosuri
    I-Intimate?!
[15:25] Nekone
    Oshtor, I brought you this.
[15:30] Haku
    Oh, is this...
[15:32] Rulutieh
    Yes, chamokku liver.
[15:35] Haku
    It looks delicious.
[15:37] Haku
    We must thank Shis for sending it.
[15:41] Nekone
    Why did she send it to you?
[15:43] Rulutieh
    In Kujyuri, we send chamokku to
    family and those we're close to.
[15:49] Rulutieh
    She insisted you try it.
[15:53] Haku
    Then I will gratefully accept her gift.
[15:57] Kuon
    Does that mean...
[15:59] Haku
    It's delicious!
[16:02] Haku
    Very good!
[16:05] Nekone
    He really is dense.
[16:12] Kuon
    Nosuri?
[16:15] Nosuri
    O-Oshtor, w-would you please go
    hunting with me tomorrow?
[16:20] Haku
    Uh?
[16:30] Nosuri
    Y-You know, the weather's perfect for a hunt.
[16:34] Haku
    The weather was nice the last time
    we went hunting too, wasn't it?
[16:38] Haku
    It was right after we returned
    to Ennakamuy, right?
[16:44] Nosuri
    Y-Yeah...
[16:47] Haku
    You were wonderful.
[16:51] Haku
    Your hunting skills.
[16:54] Haku
    You're the best hunter I know.
[16:58] Nosuri
    A-Am I?
[16:59] Nosuri
    I mean, of course I am.
[17:02] Nosuri
    A good woman...
[17:04] (Flashback) Genho
    I'm telling you to get intimate with him!
[17:14] Nosuri
    I-I know!
[17:15] Nosuri
    I'll show you how to hunt!
[17:17] Haku
    What?
[17:18] Nosuri
    Don't you go saying no!
[17:21] Nosuri
    First...
[17:31] Haku
    What is she doing?
[17:34] Nosuri
    N-Never mind...
[17:36] Nosuri
    I don't want to be helping
    out my competition!
[17:49] Haku
    Amazing as always.
[17:50] Nosuri
    Of course.
[17:52] Nosuri
    This is nothing.
[17:56] Nosuri
    Hunting is a great way to calm the mind.
[17:59] Haku
    I suppose I need to get to work, too.
[18:12] Haku
    We're doing well today.
[18:20] Nosuri
    No!
[18:22] Nosuri
    I need to focus on the competition!
[18:28] Haku
    I should've known I can't beat you, Nosuri.
[18:31] Nosuri
    You've gotten better, but you
    still have more to learn.
[18:34] Nosuri
    Now, I think you owe me something good
    to drink to celebrate my victory.
[18:40] Haku
    Very well.
[18:41] Nosuri
    It'll be a fun banquet tonight!
[18:50] Haku
    I'll carry a few.
[18:51] Nosuri
    Thanks.
[18:54] Nosuri
    Then...
[19:08] Nosuri
    It's a shame we had to leave our catch.
[19:10] Haku
    It's fine.
[19:12] Haku
    We can just come back.
[19:15] Nosuri
    Yeah.
[19:23] Nosuri
    Thanks.
[19:25] Haku
    What's this about?
[19:29] Nosuri
    Thanks to you...
[19:33] Haku
    Even if we've taken a step forward,
[19:34] Haku
    the path toward retaking the
    capital is still a long one.
[19:39] Haku
    I'll be counting on you, Nosuri.
[19:42] Nosuri
    Yeah, of course.
[19:49] Nosuri
    With you carrying me like this, it feels
    like I've gone back to being a child.
[19:54] Haku
    A child?
[19:56] Nosuri
    You may not believe it,
    but I used to be a real tomboy.
[20:00] Haku
    "Used to"?
[20:01] Nosuri
    Sometimes I'd go up into
    the mountains with my dad.
[20:06] Nosuri
    But it was too much for a little girl.
[20:09] Nosuri
    And when I was too tired,
    my father would carry me home.
[20:17] Nosuri
    His back was so big and warm...
[20:22] Nosuri
    Just like this.
[20:35] Haku
    Sheesh...
[22:16] Haku
    We've finally got a stable
    base for an army, I'd say.
[22:21] Kuon
    It feels like our hard
    work's finally paid off.
[22:26] Nekone
    The countries around us are
    starting to ally with us, too.
[22:30] Kuon
    Now we don't need to worry
    about being surrounded, I think.
[22:35] Haku
    But we're not quite ready
    to go on the offensive.
[22:39] Haku
    We need to find a way to work with Nakoku.
[22:43] Kuon
    Nakoku's supported us this whole time, right?
[22:47] Nekone
    Yes.
[22:49] Nekone
    They're on the other side of the sea,
     with the capital between us,
[22:52] Nekone
    so we haven't been able
    to contact them until now.
[22:56] Kiwru
    Brother!
[22:57] Kiwru
    Excuse me!
[22:59] Haku
    What is it?
[23:00] Kiwru
    A fleet of ships flying Nakoku and
    Shyahoro's flags has appeared on the horizon!
[23:05] Kiwru
    The reports say that Nakoku was attacked
    by the Court's armies, and its capital,
[23:09] Kiwru
    Naara, has fallen.
[23:10] Haku
    What?
[23:11] Nekone
    No...
[23:14] Kiwru
    Their representative, Soyankekur,
    the owlo of Shyahoro,
[23:18] Kiwru
    has requested an audience with the princess.
[23:22] Atuy
    Father...
