[00:11] Itak
    I am Itak, Prince of Nakoku.
[00:14] Itak
    I ask your forgiveness for
    this unannounced visit.
[00:20] Atuy
    He's so handsome!
[00:22] Kuon
    He looks like a kind person, I think.
[00:24] Nekone
    He looks so delicate...
[00:28] Haku
    I've heard of what happened in Nakoku.
[00:30] Haku
    You have my deepest sympathies.
[00:33] Haku
    I'm surprised you came yourself, though.
[00:38] Itak
    I'll make my request simple:
[00:40] Itak
    We want troops to help retake Nakoku.
[00:43] Anju
    Troops?
[00:45] Itak
    Nakoku was invaded after refusing
    the usurpers' demands several times.
[00:51] Anju
    So you were attacked because
    you decided to join me?
[00:54] Itak
    No. You, Princess Anju, are the
    only one we've sworn to serve.
[01:00] Itak
    My father, the owlo, was
    wounded, and our castle taken.
[01:03] Itak
    But Nakoku's people can still fight!
[01:07] Itak
    We beg you! Please, lend us
     your strength, Princess!
[01:14] Haku
    Nakoku is on the other side of the
    capital from us, separated by the sea.
[01:21] Haku
    If we succeed in retaking it,
[01:23] Haku
    we'll be able to split the court's
    forces to the east and west.
[01:27] Soyankekur
    So, Imperial Guard of the Right,
    do you have a plan to win this for us?
[01:31] Haku
    I don't think it's a hopeless war.
[01:35] Haku
    But our forces alone would have
    had a great deal of difficulty.
[01:40] Haku
    To be honest, I'm glad
    to have Shyahoro along.
[01:45] Soyankekur
    Her Highness must truly be a great leader,
[01:48] Soyankekur
    to have found someone like
    you to serve at her side.
SIGN    Utawarerumono
SIGN    Mask of Truth
[03:50] Itak
    Um...
[03:52] Atuy
    You need something from me?
[03:57] Itak
    No, I j-just wanted to talk to you...
[04:01] Shinonon
    What's that? It's so huge!
[04:07] Kuon
    It's the Great Bridge of Inava.
[04:11] Nekone
    The one built by the Mikado with the power
    of a miracle that leads to the capital?
[04:17] Fumirul
    Amazing...
[04:19] Itak
    The legends say that until
    the day it was complete,
[04:22] Itak
    there was no sign of it being built.
[04:26] Itak
    But when the sun sank and night came,
     and then the sun rose again...
[04:32] Itak
    The huge white bridge could
    be seen in the dawn light.
SIGN    He made it in a single night?
[04:39] Itak
    Yes.
[04:40] Itak
    At a single word from the Mikado,
[04:42] Itak
    countless stones flew from the
    capital and fell into the sea,
[04:45] Itak
    connecting together as if
    they'd always been that way.
[04:52] Fumirul
    It's hard to believe...
[04:55] Shinonon
    The Mikado is incredible!
[04:57] Haku
    You can't fool me, Brother.
[04:59] Haku
    I know you were just feeling lazy!
[05:02] Itak
    But that bridge is now...
[05:08] Atuy
    Itak, you're a little too tense.
[05:14] Itak
    I'm sorry.
[05:29] Maroro
    It seems the bait was taken by
    a bigger fish than I thought.
[05:57] Atuy
    I wish I could just take a nap here.
[06:06] Itak
    Atuy...
[06:07] Atuy
    Um, how do you know my name?
[06:11] Itak
    Do you remember the promise?
[06:14] Atuy
    Promise?
[06:17] Itak
    My uncle never told you?
[06:20] Itak
    I'm your fiancé.
[06:24] Atuy
    My father, you mean?
[06:26] Atuy
    A fiancé...
[06:30] Itak
    We first met in Nakoku's castle.
[06:33] Itak
    You showed me a whole new world.
[06:37] Atuy
    Were you that little boy?
[06:43] Atuy
    I remember now!
[06:45] Atuy
    We used to use the secret passages
    out of the castle to go into town!
[06:51] Itak
    I haven't forgotten you for a
    moment since we met as children.
[06:57] Itak
    I've worked so hard to be a man
    who can protect you, Atuy.
[07:05] Itak
    We'll be reaching our hidden fortress soon.
[07:09] Itak
    I'm sure my father will be happy to see you.
[07:23] Soldiers
    Prince Itak! It's Prince Itak!
[07:25] Soldiers
    And Soyankekur!
[07:27] Soldiers
    They've brought reinforcements!
[07:32] Chancellor
    Prince Itak...
[07:33] Itak
    I'm sorry to have worried you, Chancellor.
[07:36] Itak
    I'm sorry I kept you all
    waiting for so long, too.
[07:38] Soldiers
    We've been waiting for your return!
[07:41] Soldiers
    We kept this fortress safe,
    believing you'd come back!
[07:45] Chancellor
    Calm down, everyone!
[07:48] Itak
    You did well to last until our return.
[07:50] Itak
    I can't thank you enough.
[07:58] Itak
    Now, let me introduce you!
[08:00] Itak
    This is the famous
    Imperial Guard of the Right, Oshtor.
[08:04] Soldiers
    He came here himself?
[08:06] Soldiers
    General Oshtor... We're sure to win now!
[08:09] Soldiers
    That's great!
[08:10] Haku
    If we work together,
    we are sure to win this war!
[08:28] Itak
    My apologies.
[08:30] Itak
    Get some rest in the fortress.
[08:38] Nekone
    According to reports, the court armies
    that captured Naara, Nakoku's capital,
[08:43] Nekone
    have occupied the palace
    connected to the Great Bridge.
[08:46] Kuon
    With just the forces we have now,
[08:48] Kuon
    it'll be hard to beat an enemy
    holed up in a castle, I think.
[08:51] Atuy
    Want me to bust open a wall?
[08:54] Nekone
    The capital city of Naara is
    surrounded by ocean on three sides,
[08:58] Nekone
    as well as sturdy walls.
[09:01] Nekone
    The south is our only option for an attack.
[09:05] Itak
    I'm sorry I'm late.
[09:07] Haku
    It's fine.
[09:09] Haku
    Let's continue the meeting.
[09:12] Haku
    First, we'll take the bulk of our
    army and advance up to Naara.
[09:18] Haku
    At the same time the battle starts
    in the city, another force,
[09:21] Haku
    which we've snuck into the castle in
    advance, will launch a surprise attack.
SIGN    Sneak into the castle?  Do you have a plan for that?
[09:28] Haku
    We'll use the underground passages
    that Itak used for his escape.
[09:33] Haku
    They'll cause as much damage as they can
    from inside, and in the ensuing chaos,
[09:38] Haku
    open the gate for our forces to enter.
[09:41] Haku
    It doesn't matter how strong their walls
    are if we open their gates from within.
[09:47] Haku
    We'll be sure to win.
SIGN    I thought it was a crazy idea at first,  but now I think we can actually pull it off.
[09:55] Fumirul
    How many people will participate
    in this surprise attack?
[09:59] Kuon
    We can't take too many
    people from the main force.
[10:02] Kuon
    So probably not many at all, I think.
[10:04] Nekone
    We also need someone outside
    who can command our army.
[10:08] Soyankekur
    And that's what you need me for, huh?
[10:11] Atuy
    Father?
[10:12] Haku
    You know the geography of Nakoku well,
    and as one of the Eight Pillar Generals,
[10:17] Haku
    the soldiers know and trust you.
[10:20] Haku
    With you giving orders to the army outside,
[10:23] Haku
    I can focus on leading the
    team inside the walls.
[10:26] Soyankekur
    It's a big job, but I accept!
[10:29] Atuy
    Just don't screw up and ruin it for everyone.
[10:36] Soyankekur
    Harsh!
[10:38] Haku
    But we need a way to catch
    the enemy off-guard,
[10:41] Haku
    in case they've prepared for our plan.
[10:44] Atuy
    I've got a good idea.
[10:47] Haku
    A good idea?
[10:49] Atuy
    Yeah, you see...
[10:54] Haku
    I see. That might work...
[10:57] Itak
    Wait.
[11:00] Itak
    Atuy, I don't want you to
    participate in this battle.
[11:05] Atuy
    You don't?
[11:08] Itak
    I just saw my father's body.
[11:13] Itak
    He died defending the people
    of Nakoku, placing his hopes in me.
[11:19] Itak
    I want to protect you, Atuy.
[11:23] Atuy
    Itak...
[11:36] Haku
    Atuy, may I speak with you for a moment?
[11:39] Atuy
    Oshtor?
[11:42] Haku
    What are you going to do?
[11:43] Atuy
    I know he wants to protect me, but...
[11:48] Atuy
    All it takes is a bit of bad luck,
    and you die, no matter who you are.
[11:53] Atuy
    No matter how strong you are,
     it's going to happen.
[11:59] Haku
    Then if Nekone, Kuon, or I died in battle...
[12:04] Haku
    What would you think then?
[12:07] Atuy
    Nekone or Kuon?
[12:09] Haku
    That's right.
[12:13] Atuy
    I don't think I'd like that.
[12:15] Atuy
    The thought makes me feel weird...
    Like something's squeezing my heart.
[12:21] Atuy
    What is this feeling?
[12:23] Haku
    That's the desire not to lose
    the people you care about.
[12:31] Haku
    We're leaving at dawn.
[12:33] Haku
    Take some time and think about it.
[12:36] Haku
    No matter what decision
    you make, I'll respect you.
[12:45] Atuy
    This is the desire not to lose
    people I care about?
[12:51] (Flashback) Itak
    I want to protect you...
[13:01] Atuy
    When he died...
[13:06] Atuy
    Oh... So this is...
[13:26] Soyankekur
    We haven't had a war in
    a while. Time to fix that!
[13:38] Haku
    It's started.
[13:39] Haku
    Let's get moving.
[13:42] Itak
    Yes. I'll show the way.
[13:50] Haku
    So there are aqueducts beneath the castle?
[13:54] Itak
    They connect all over the city.
[13:56] Itak
    Only the royal family and a very few others
    know the ones that lead to the castle.
[14:02] Haku
    I see.
[14:04] Kuon
    This should work, then.
[14:06] Itak
    The army Soyankekur's leading should have
    begun their attack on the walls by now.
[14:12] Itak
    We need to hurry inside and open the gates.
[14:16] Soldiers
    Aim... Fire!
[14:19] Soldiers
    Yes, sir!
[14:20] Chancellor
    So they decided to stay in
    the castle, as we thought.
[14:22] Soyankekur
    Fine by me. We're here to save the city,
    not burn it down in a battle.
[14:28] Soyankekur
    We don't need a full-scale attack.
[14:30] Soyankekur
    We'll take our time.
[14:31] Chancellor
    Of course.
[14:33] Soyankekur
    I expected more resistance, though.
[14:36] Soyankekur
    Are they planning something?
[14:39] Soyankekur
    Let's see how you handle this,
    Imperial Guard of the Right.
[14:45] Haku
    So we're through?
[14:54] Shinonon
    Nobody's here.
[14:56] Itak
    Something's not right.
[14:57] Itak
    It shouldn't be totally abandoned.
[15:06] Haku
    So they did set an ambush.
[15:09] Maroro
    Oh, dear. I was getting so tired of waiting...
[15:16] Maroro
    Oshtor.
[15:22] Haku
    Maroro!
[15:23] Itak
    You're the commander who took my castle!
[15:27] Nekone
    Maroro?
[15:29] Nekone
    Is that really Maroro?
[15:32] Kuon
    His face looks evil... terrifying, even.
[15:35] Maroro
    It's a symbol of the fury within my heart.
SIGN    This is pretty damn hot!
[15:59] Kuon
    What are these flames?
[16:01] Kuon
    It's like they're alive!
[16:03] Twins
    He's gotten stronger.
[16:05] Twins
    His magic has grown more
    powerful than before.
[16:09] Haku
    Maroro, why are you doing this?
[16:12] Haku
    I was sure you were going to join us!
[16:16] Maroro
    I've been waiting for this moment, too.
[16:22] Maroro
    The moment when I kill the
    traitor who slew my friend,
[16:26] Maroro
    and tried to steal the crown, as well!
[16:33] Kuon
    Slew your friend?
[16:35] Nekone
    Th-That's not what happened!
[16:38] Haku
    What are you talking about, Maroro?
[16:40] Maroro
    I can tell...
[16:43] Maroro
    The Oshtor in front of me
    isn't the Oshtor I knew!
[16:48] Maroro
    I saw it happen!
[17:10] (Flashback) Maroro
    Haku?! Haku?!
[17:18] (Flashback) Maroro
    Wh-Who are you?
[17:36] Maroro
    Choose how you wish to die! Shot by arrows?
[17:40] Maroro
    Pierced by spears? Burnt by flames?
[17:45] Haku
    Maroro...
[17:51] Maroro
    Haku...
[17:52] Maroro
    I'm going to avenge you...
[17:54] Maroro
    I'm going to avenge your murder!
[17:57] Maroro
    Haku!
[18:01] Maroro
    Haku!
[18:03] Nekone
    Brother...
[18:06] Maroro
    Aim!
[18:10] Fumirul
    Oh, dear...
[18:13] Maroro
    Fire!
[18:27] Haku
    Now! Attack, everyone!
[18:29] Jachdwaldt
    On it!
[18:29] Kuon
    Leave it to me!
[18:43] Maroro
    So they had another force in reserve?
[18:46] Maroro
    The secret passages lead to
    more than just the throne room?
[18:50] Atuy
    That's right!
[18:53] (Flashback) Haku
    Split our forces?
[18:55] (Flashback) Atuy
    Yup!
[18:56] (Flashback) Atuy
    They're probably watching for us
    to try to sneak into the castle.
[19:02] (Flashback) Atuy
    Itak already used the corridors
    to escape, after all.
[19:07] (Flashback) Haku
    But aren't the secret passages only
    known to the royal family, Atuy?
[19:13] (Flashback) Atuy
    Maybe Itak's the only one who knows
    the ones leading into the castle.
[19:17] (Flashback) Atuy
    But I know the ones that lead into the city.
[19:21] (Flashback) Atuy
    If you guys can turn their
    attention inside the castle...
[19:24] (Flashback) Haku
    I see... That would work.
[19:28] (Flashback) Itak
    So you insist on going?
[19:31] (Flashback) Itak
    I can't let you do something so dangerous...
[19:34] (Flashback) Atuy
    Itak...
[19:36] (Flashback) Atuy
    I want to fight for you.
[19:41] (Flashback) Atuy
    I want to bring this place back to
    what it used to be, just like you do.
[19:47] (Flashback) Atuy
    I know what it feels like
    to lose someone precious.
[19:59] Atuy
    Nobody can beat me with a spear!
[20:01] Atuy
    I finally get to fight!
    Time to have some fun!
[20:07] Soyankekur
    Sounds like my daughter and her friends
    are having a good time in there!
[20:13] Soldier
    General Maroro!
[20:15] Soldier
    The castle gates have fallen!
    Our soldiers are still fighting,
[20:18] Soldier
    but we've already lost the city!
[20:21] Maroro
    Very well...
[20:23] Maroro
    I have one more thing to do,
    but you and the others are to retreat.
[20:28] Maroro
    Tell the soldiers at the gate to surrender
    after they've bought some time.
[20:33] Soldier
    Yes, sir!
[20:34] Atuy
    You'd better pay attention,
[20:37] Atuy
    or you're gonna get really hurt!
[20:46] Itak
    Atuy!
[20:50] Haku
    Really... What were you thinking,
    charging in on your own?
[20:57] Atuy
    It's okay!
[20:58] Atuy
    I knew you'd be there to watch my back!
[21:04] Maroro
    Now, I think I'll be going.
[21:10] Maroro
    I've achieved my goal here.
[21:13] Itak
    That's... the Divine Keystone!
[21:16] Itak
    But how...
[21:17] Maroro
    I came here from the capital.
[21:21] Maroro
    I've read everything there is
    to know about the Keystone.
[21:33] Maroro
    Farewell, then...
[21:35] Maroro
    Oshtor.
[21:39] Kuon
    Oshtor, what do we do?
[21:41] Haku
    What was that thing Maroro had?
[21:45] Itak
    That's the treasure the Mikado gave
    us along with the Great Bridge...
[21:52] Atuy
    Itak...
[21:54] Haku
    Itak! Atuy!
[21:56] Haku
    We're going after Maroro.
[21:58] Haku
    He's after... no, Raiko is after...
[22:03] Haku
    The Great Bridge of Inava!
