[00:04] Munechika     Almost all the soldiers outside the     walls have surrendered to the princess. [00:09] Munechika     Inside the walls, everything is calm. [00:11] Anju     What about those injured in the battle? [00:13] Munechika     We're treating the injured,     among both our allies and our enemies. [00:17] Munechika     Kuon offered us additional     medicine. Don't worry. [00:22] Anju     I see. [00:27] Soldiers     No! It can't be... [00:40] Anju     Oshtor? SIGN    Utawarerumono SIGN    Mask of Truth SIGN    Episode Eighteen SIGN    With a Great Wish in One's Heart [02:48] Raiko     So you're finally here? [02:51] Raiko     It's been a long time since we've     seen each other like this, Oshtor. [02:58] Anju     Why? [03:00] Anju     Why did you betray us? [03:03] Anju     You cared for Yamato more than anyone! [03:07] Anju     So why did you create a false puppet? [03:10] Anju     Was I that unworthy? [03:14] Anju     I don't understand! I don't understand at all! [03:18] Raiko     You've grown a little, I see. [03:21] Raiko     Making Yamato mine was only     a step toward a larger goal. [03:26] Raiko     What I wanted was what came after. [03:29] Raiko     Yes. The liberation of the people of Yamato!     For them to become truly independent! [03:34] Anju     Liberation? [03:36] Anju     What are you talking about? [03:37] Anju     Are you saying that my father oppressed     the people? Made them suffer? [03:41] Raiko     Quite the opposite, in fact. [03:44] Raiko     No one loved the people of     Yamato as much as the Mikado. [03:53] Anju     Where are you going? [03:54] Raiko     Please, follow me. [04:00] Raiko     The Mikado loved the people of Yamato, [04:03] Raiko     but he was also concerned     for the nation's future. [04:07] Raiko     Did you never notice that there was     something wrong with this nation? [04:12] Atuy     I don't really understand... [04:14] Nosuri     Yeah, I think it's a good place to live. [04:18] Fumirul     I think what he's trying to say is... [04:21] Kuon     If anything, how easy it     is to live here, I think. [04:24] Kuon     The people of this country are too blessed. [04:27] Kiwru     What? Are you saying it's wrong     for the people to be happy? [04:31] Raiko     No. The happiness given to the people     of Yamato isn't something they earned. [04:37] Raiko     It was given to them by heaven. [04:39] Kuon     So they're birds in a cage? [04:42] Raiko     And most of them believe that this     is normal, and think nothing of it. [04:49] Raiko     The Mikado gave us many blessings. [04:53] Raiko     Things we could think about for     centuries and never imagine. [04:57] Raiko     We have been blessed in countless ways     by power and wisdom beyond imagination. [05:01] Raiko     Yes, the Mikado loved us. [05:06] Raiko     He treated us with love and care,      like helpless babies in a cradle. [05:12] Raiko     But that makes us no different from pets. [05:16] Raiko     What are we to do if our master gets     bored with us, and abandons us? [05:19] Raiko     Or what if, as we just saw, he dies? [05:23] Raiko     What do we do then? [05:26] Raiko     I have nothing but gratitude for the     Mikado and all he's done for us. [05:30] Raiko     But now that he's gone, we must     take flight by our own strength. [05:39] Kuon     Even if that's not what the     people of this country want? [05:43] Raiko     Many countries have risen     and then disappeared, [05:46] Raiko     continuing a cycle of prosperity and decline. [05:49] Raiko     That's how a country should be. [05:51] Anju     Impossible! Yamato will never fall! [05:55] Anju     It's a paradise that will last forever! [05:59] Raiko     Every sun will someday set.     That is the way of the world. [06:03] Raiko     The sun that is the Mikado set,     and then the nation split in two. [06:09] Haku     But now the sun is ready to rise again      and bring light to the people. [06:15] Haku     The sun that is Princess Anju! [06:18] Anju     Oshtor... [06:19] Haku     A baby in its cradle will someday grow     up and walk on its own two feet. [06:25] Haku     Princess Anju has learned,     and grown, all by herself. [06:29] Haku     When the time comes, she will     be there to cheer them on. [06:36] Raiko     Perhaps I've said too much. [06:38] Raiko     Now, end this with your own hands, Oshtor! [06:44] Shichirya     No, not yet! [06:55] Shichirya     We still have something we can do! [07:00] Haku     An Akuruka? [07:01] Nekone     But there are only supposed     to be four of them! [07:05] Raiko     The secret treasure of the Mikado... [07:07] Raiko     A reflection of the true Akuruka,      the first one he made. [07:12] Raiko     The one that served as the     base for the other four... [07:15] Shichirya     Please, use this and conquer. [07:20] Raiko     I cannot do that. [07:22] Raiko     To turn to the Mikado's power at this     point would make me worse than a fool. [07:28] Raiko     It's over, Shichirya. [07:32] Raiko     I tried to make my way to heaven in     order to escape the Mikado's cradle. [07:38] Raiko     So even in death, I shall stare at the heavens      and become the bearer of their sins. [07:45] Raiko     Enough. Leave me, Shichirya. [07:48] Shichirya     No, I won't! [07:52] Shichirya     Then I will open the path! [07:56] Shichirya     General Raiko, please...     make your dream become real. [08:05] Raiko     You have shown yourself to be truly loyal. [08:09] Raiko     But I am the one who started this war. [08:12] Raiko     I alone will bear the cost for it. [08:16] Shichirya     General Raiko... [08:18] Raiko     Ideals without power are nothing but dreams. [08:22] Raiko     Oshtor, if you would compare     the princess to a sun, [08:26] Raiko     and say she will bring light to the people, [08:29] Raiko     then prove to me that her light is real! [08:47] Anju     What is this incredible power? [09:08] Raiko     The power comes to me     from deep within my body! [09:13] Raiko     This sense of excitement,     verging on madness... [09:16] Raiko     It makes everything feel so small! [09:19] Raiko     Even my own life! [09:23] Haku     I've got no choice... [09:24] Kuon     Oshtor! [09:26] Kuon     You're not thinking of     fighting on your own, are you? [09:33] Nekone     We won't let you use the Akuruka anymore! [09:37] Haku     Guys... [09:40] Anju     Believe in the friends who've     fought with you so far! [09:44] Kuon     Everyone's thinking the same thing. [09:47] Kuon     And... [09:51] Haku     Yeah. [09:54] Raiko     Now, it's time for one of us to die. [09:57] Raiko     I shall judge for myself... [10:01] Raiko     if you are truly worthy to     lead the nation of Yamato! [10:09] Shinonon     Big Sis Rulu! I brought bandages! [10:12] Rulutieh     Thank you, Shinonon. [10:17] Shinonon     Big Sis Rulu, you okay? [10:23] Rulutieh     Sorry. Yeah, I'm fine. [10:27] Rulutieh     I have to do my best. [10:29] Rulutieh     And do what I can do right now... [11:00] Mikazuchi     Brother... [11:03] Mikazuchi     Wait... I'm coming to finish this! [11:32] Shichirya     General Raiko! [11:34] Kuon     I won't let you! [11:39] Shichirya     Y-You... [11:44] Raiko     Shichirya, enough. Go. [11:47] Shichirya     I can still fight! [11:49] Shichirya     Please, stay with me until the end! [11:51] Raiko     You're in my way. [11:57] Shichirya     As you wish. [12:02] Raiko     It's time to end this. [12:05] Raiko     I will now unleash all my power     and destroy everything. [12:11] Raiko     Heirs to the history of Yamato, [12:14] Raiko     show me your resolve! [12:17] Raiko     Or you will never banish the     sloth that dwells within Yamato! [12:29] Haku     He sure likes to talk... [12:32] Kuon     I'll have to do this myself! [12:35] Fumirul     No, Ku! [12:37] Kuon     But... [12:38] Fumirul     Using too much power in a short span will     put that much more stress on your body! [12:42] Fumirul     You understand that, right? [12:45] Haku     Fear not! [12:47] Haku     We're going to show him the     strength of the people of Yamato! [12:51] Haku     Even without the protection of the     Mikado or the power of the Akuruka, [12:55] Haku     we can survive on our own! [12:58] Haku     This battle will be the     first step toward that! [13:01] Haku     Right? [13:05] Haku     Here we go! [13:06] All     Right! SIGN    This is our last fight, ain't it? [13:15] Atuy     I'm so excited! [13:19] Nosuri     I won't let you! [13:20] Kiwru     We'll use all our strength in this battle! SIGN    Now, then... [13:28] Ougi     There's no end of excitement     around here, huh? [13:39] Munechika     Now, Your Majesty! [13:41] Anju     On it! [13:44] Anju     Raiko! [13:59] Twins     Master! [14:00] Twins     Now! [14:14] Shichirya     General Raiko! [14:39] Nosuri     He's still alive? [14:50] Raiko     So this is it... [14:57] Haku     You were already at your limit, weren't you? [14:59] Raiko     I've followed my own path, [15:04] Raiko     and done so of my own free will. [15:07] Raiko     If there's such a thing as the next world,      we will meet there once again. [15:13] Haku     Yes. I'll go there too, someday. [15:17] Raiko     I'm looking forward to it. [15:22] Shichirya     General Raiko! [15:32] Shichirya     Raiko... [15:34] Anju     The war is over. [15:36] Anju     My foes are all dead. [15:39] Munechika     Your Majesty... [15:40] Haku     Yes, it's all over now. [15:44] Haku     It's time for me to fulfill my last duty. [15:49] Haku     Your Majesty, the people are waiting. [15:52] Anju     Indeed. [15:56] Haku     Uruuru, Saraana, can you bring the voice     of the princess to the people of Yamato? [16:01] Twins     It's possible. [16:02] Twins     No problem at all. [16:10] Anju     People of Yamato, do you hear my voice? [16:13] Anju     Do you understand my words? [16:17] Anju     I am the child of heaven! The new Mikado,      and the rightful ruler, Anju! [16:23] Anju     Raiko the traitor, [16:25] Anju     who deceived you with a false princess     bearing my name, has fallen! [16:28] Anju     Of course, I'm sure some     of you are still afraid. [16:33] Anju     And it is my fault that you felt such fear. [16:36] Anju     And thus, I will prove that I am the     true Mikado with deeds, not words, [16:43] Anju     by leading you upon the right path! [16:46] Anju     May light shine down on Yamato from heaven! [16:56] Haku     Oshtor... [16:58] Haku     I kept our promise. [17:01] Haku     The hopes that lived within     you have come true today. [17:09] Haku     This is all I can do. [17:14] Haku     It won't come off, will it? [17:17] Haku     Well, if I can't take it off, so be it. [17:22] Haku     I'll just disappear and     take the Akuruka with me. [19:07] Shichirya     How heartbreaking. [19:10] Raiko     I won't last much longer. [19:14] Raiko     Correct? [19:15] Shichirya     Even after so much damage... [19:17] Raiko     I thank you... [19:19] Raiko     for all your service to me. [19:23] Raiko     I needed to end things on my own. [19:27] Raiko     And you gave me the chance. [19:29] Shichirya     I... [19:31] Shichirya     I was always... [19:36] Shichirya     You knew? [19:39] Raiko     I was sure when you took out the Akuruka. [19:44] Raiko     No mere yatanawarabe could     possess such a thing. [19:51] Shichirya     But please believe me...     It wasn't supposed to be like this! [19:57] Shichirya     I should've taken your place! [20:01] Raiko     Don't cry, Shichirya. [20:17] Raiko     Shichirya... [20:19] Raiko     Shichirya, you... [21:11] Shichirya     General Raiko... [21:13] Shichirya     I-I just... I wanted to see what you saw... [21:38] Woshis     It's over. You've done well. [21:44] Shichirya     General Woshis... [21:46] Woshis     You did a wonderful job. [21:49] Woshis     We were lucky to get rid of him so easily. [21:55] Woshis     Now, give me the Akuruka. [22:00] Woshis     What's wrong? [22:09] Woshis     Excellent work. [22:11] Woshis     I would've preferred that     he take Oshtor with him... [22:15] Woshis     But I suppose that was asking for too much. [22:19] Woshis     A Proxy's body couldn't     bear the stress, I suppose. [22:24] Woshis     That's all we're going to get     out of an untuned Akuruka. [22:28] Woshis     So this will have to do. [22:33] Woshis     This will aid my research greatly. [22:36] Woshis     He didn't die for nothing. [22:40] Woshis     Be proud, Shichirya. [22:43] Shichirya     As you wish, General Woshis. [22:47] Woshis     Now, he's all that's left. [22:51] Woshis     It's time to move on to the next step, then. [22:59] Woshis     How do you suppose he felt when you,     the one he believed in, betrayed him? [23:07] Woshis     Well, there's no point in asking you,      the traitor, instead of him. [23:29] Shichirya     Farewell.
