[00:02] Haku
    And next, I pronounce Soyankekur,
    owlo of Shyahoro,
[00:05] Haku
    the next Imperial Minister of the Left.
[00:08] Haku
    And Genho, the former ruler of Izuruha,
[00:12] Haku
    shall be the new Imperial
    Minister of the Right.
[00:15] Haku
    Atuy, Princess of Shyahoro,
[00:17] Haku
    shall take Soyankekur's place as
    one of the Eight Pillar Generals.
[00:22] Atuy
    Leave it to me!
[00:23] Haku
    Genho's eldest child, Nosuri,
    shall be the new ruler of Izuruha,
[00:27] Haku
    and one of the Eight Pillar Generals, as well.
[00:29] Haku
    You and Ougi are now free
    to rebuild your clan.
[00:33] Nosuri
    Sir!
[00:34] Haku
    This concludes the dispensation
    of titles and awards.
[00:37] Haku
    I ask that all of you continue to
    work for the benefit of Yamato,
[00:40] Haku
    and uphold your duty of
    loyalty to Her Majesty.
[00:45] Anju
    Well done, everyone!
[00:47] All
    My liege!

[02:29] Haku
    Sheesh...
[02:32] Haku
    I still don't like the fact that every time
    I solve a problem, I just get busier.
[02:42] Haku
    I wish I could've held a funeral for him.
[02:46] Haku
    But knowing him, he's now become
    the wind, racing through the sky.
[02:52] Haku
    In the end, he was a victim of my
    brother's craziness, just like me.
[02:58] Haku
    That's how it's always been.
[03:02] Haku
    It's the ones who are left
    behind who have it the hardest.
[03:08] Haku
    Still...
[03:11] Haku
    I can't very well leave things as they are.
[03:13] Twins
    Master...
[03:15] Twins
    We apologize for disturbing you at this hour.
[03:19] Haku
    What is it?
[03:20] Haku
    Is someone calling me?
[03:24] Haku
    Very well. Take me there.
[03:30] Kuon
    Where are you going?
[03:31] Haku
    Kuon? What are you doing here?
[03:35] Kuon
    Where are you taking Oshtor?
[03:38] Twins
    Now we don't have to look for you.
[03:40] Twins
    Good timing.
[03:43] Twins
    We were told to bring you, as well.
[03:46] Kuon
    Me, as well?
[03:55] Twins
    Don't stop moving.
[03:57] Twins
    If we're separated, there's no telling
    where you'll end up. Be careful.
[04:05] Haku
    This is...
[04:07] Haku
    The garden where my brother always met me.
[04:13] Honoka
    It's been a long time, hasn't it?
[04:15] Honoka
    I've been waiting for you.
[04:16] Haku
    Honoka? Where have you been all this—
[04:19] Honoka
    Thank you for supporting Anju,
[04:22] Honoka
    and for your aid in taking back Yamato.
[04:27] Haku
    No, it was only thanks to
    everyone else's help.
[04:31] Haku
    I could never have done it myself.
[04:34] Kuon
    Um, where is this place?
[04:37] Kuon
    It doesn't feel like someone from
    another nation should be here.
[04:42] Haku
    Forget that. Where have you been?
     Would you tell me that?
[04:46] Honoka
    It would be better to hear about
    that directly instead of from me.
[04:52] Haku
    Directly?
[04:54] Honoka
    This way.
[05:01] Honoka
    I've brought them.
[05:06] Kuon
    A ruin in completely undamaged condition...
[05:09] Kuon
    No weathering, no decay at all...
[05:17] Kuon
    This means...
[05:19] Kuon
    the Onvitaikayan.
[05:46] Honoka
    I have returned, my lord.
[05:50] Mikado
    Welcome...
[06:01] Haku
    Brother...
[06:04] Mikado
    I never thought I'd see a look
    like that on your face.
[06:06] Mikado
    Today is a rare day indeed!
[06:09] Haku
    You're alive?
[06:11] Mikado
    I survived, somehow.
[06:15] Mikado
    I've put you through an awful lot.
[06:17] Mikado
    Thank you for keeping my
    daughter safe until the end.
[06:21] Haku
    If you must thank someone, thank him.
[06:24] Haku
    This was his wish.
[06:26] Mikado
    I see...
[06:27] Mikado
    It's a shame to lose a man such as him.
[06:31] Mikado
    His father and his teacher, too.
[06:33] Mikado
    Good men always die young.
[06:37] Honoka
    My lord...
[06:39] Haku
    But what happened to you?
[06:42] Mikado
    Nothing of particular importance.
[06:45] Mikado
    Someone attacked me while I was
    undergoing a life extension procedure,
[06:49] Mikado
    and now I'm stuck in here.
[06:51] Kuon
    Life extension?
[06:53] Haku
    Attacked? By who?
[06:55] Mikado
    I don't know. To escape, I used a spare
    body to serve as a corpse and hid.
[07:02] Mikado
    I remember nothing else.
[07:06] Mikado
    When I finally woke up, it was all over.
[07:12] Mikado
    Kuon...
[07:14] Mikado
    You encouraged my daughter,
    supported her, and helped her.
[07:19] Mikado
    I want to thank you.
    Not as Mikado, but as a parent.
[07:25] Mikado
    And I want to apologize for
    invading your home of Tuskur,
[07:30] Mikado
    and stealing something you treasured.
[07:37] Kuon
    It always bothered me...
[07:39] Kuon
    Why? Yamato is rich in resources.
[07:41] Kuon
    There was no reason to invade Tuskur, I think.
[07:44] Mikado
    My own selfishness.
[07:47] Mikado
    This all sprang from my
    own human selfishness.
[07:52] Mikado
    You've realized what I am, I'm sure.
[07:59] Kuon
    Onvitaikayan.
[08:00] Mikado
    Correct.
[08:02] Mikado
    One of the ones you call the Onvitaikayan.
[08:05] Mikado
    A survivor of the race that
    once ruled everything,
[08:09] Mikado
    but grew arrogant and was cast down.
[08:12] Mikado
    In the distant past,
    a great disaster occurred.
[08:16] Mikado
    The heavens rumbled.
    The earth split. The seas roared.
[08:20] Mikado
    The end came.
[08:23] Mikado
    I just barely managed to survive.
[08:28] Mikado
    And while I survived... I was the only one.
[08:35] Kuon
    And the other Onvitaikayan?
[08:40] Mikado
    This is what humanity became.
[08:45] Kuon
    The Tatari Unkami...
[08:48] Mikado
    I wanted to save my comrades.
[08:52] Mikado
    I sought the things I needed to do it,
[08:54] Mikado
    and used my loyal servants
    to capture all the ruins.
[08:59] Mikado
    I destroyed the leaders of neighboring nations
    standing in my way and made them my own.
[09:04] Mikado
    I continued this process until
    a massive nation was formed.
[09:10] Mikado
    And that nation was Yamato.
[09:14] Mikado
    And after many, many years, I found a way.
[09:21] Mikado
    A way to end their eternal suffering
    by destroying them forever.
[09:27] Mikado
    But it would require sacrifices from
    those who were alive in the present.
[09:34] Mikado
    And I was too old to make that decision.
[09:39] Mikado
    Then I met my long-lost brother.
[09:46] Kuon
    Brother?
[09:49] Kuon
    So I was right?
[09:52] Kuon
    Oshtor... isn't Oshtor?
[09:55] Mikado
    It's all over now, isn't it?
[10:00] Mikado
    Don't you think it's time?
[10:02] Kuon
    I knew it... You're Haku!
[10:05] Haku
    No, that's not true.
[10:08] Haku
    I am Oshtor. The High
    General of Yamato, Oshtor.
[10:13] Haku
    Not Haku.
[10:15] Kuon
    No... You are! You're Haku!
[10:18] Kuon
    I know you're Haku!
[10:20] Kuon
    Your job's done! So Haku can come back...
[10:25] Haku
    I can't remove this Akuruka.
[10:27] Haku
    The dead must not be allowed to return.
[10:30] Kuon
    No...
[10:32] Haku
    Haku died that day.
[10:37] Kuon
    I don't understand.
[10:39] Kuon
    I don't understand!
[10:41] Kuon
    I don't want to understand!
[10:43] Twins
    We don't understand, either.
[10:45] Twins
    Is the name "Haku" that important?
[10:48] Twins
    Our master is our master.
[10:51] Twins
    His name means little.
[10:54] Kuon
    You...
[10:55] Honoka
    Uruuru, Saraana, enough.
[10:59] Mikado
    The Akuruka were originally made for humanity.
[11:03] Mikado
    For safety reasons, once it's fused
    with you, it can't be removed.
[11:09] Haku
    Brother, what are the Akuruka?
[11:13] Mikado
    Once, there was something called
    the True Humanity Project.
[11:17] Mikado
    And from it came the Iceman Project.
[11:21] Mikado
    That's where the first Akuruka came from.
[11:24] Kuon
    The True Humanity Project...
    and the Iceman Project?
[11:28] Mikado
    The sealed first Akuruka was
    created from its research data.
[11:34] Haku
    The one Raiko used?
[11:36] Kuon
    It was beyond our ability
    to control, however.
[11:40] Kuon
    To control it, its power
    was split into four pieces.
[11:46] Haku
    And that's where the four Akuruka came from?
[11:53] Kuon
    Okay!
[11:54] Kuon
    I can't accept this,
    but I will, for your sake!
[11:57] Kuon
    You owe me a full explanation later!
[11:59] Kuon
    You owe me!
[12:01] Haku
    O-Okay...
[12:03] Kuon
    And you!
[12:04] Kuon
    If you weren't in there, I'd be
    punching you hard in the face!
[12:09] Mikado
    Now, let's get back on topic.
[12:12] Mikado
    My long-lost brother had come back to me.
[12:15] Mikado
    This seemed to me to be a sign.
[12:17] Mikado
    I felt like I had little time
    left before the end of my life.
[12:21] Mikado
    And thus, I decided to leave Yamato to Anju,
[12:25] Mikado
    and to you, I would leave
    the legacy of humanity.
[12:29] Haku
    You're leaving humanity to Haku?
[12:32] Mikado
    And for that, I needed to go to Tuskur.
[12:37] Mikado
    Well over ten years ago, I detected
    the Master Key within Tuskur.
[12:43] Haku
    The Master Key?
[12:44] Mikado
    The key that commands everything.
[12:46] Mikado
    With it, the facilities now called
    ruins could be reactivated.
[12:51] Mikado
    And perhaps our comrades could be saved.
[12:55] Mikado
    I'd given up, due to my advanced age.
[13:00] Mikado
    But if you would follow in my footsteps,
[13:04] Mikado
    I felt that someday you
    would need the Master Key.
[13:10] Haku
    Well, I'm just glad you're alive.
[13:15] Haku
    Anju will be happy to know.
[13:18] Kuon
    Yeah, we'll have to tell her right away.
[13:21] Mikado
    You must not tell Anju.
[13:24] Haku
    Why?
[13:25] Mikado
    I am already dead.
[13:27] Mikado
    There's no need.
[13:29] Kuon
    But she's your family! Don't you want—
[13:31] Mikado
    She is the Mikado.
[13:34] Mikado
    You know very well that the ruler of a nation
    cannot let themselves depend on others.
[13:40] Mikado
    At this point, I'm just in the way.
[13:46] Haku
    Okay, got it.
[13:48] Haku
    So I go grab this Master Key thing, right?
[13:50] Mikado
    You'll do it?
[13:52] Haku
    Sure, I'll go find the thing.
[13:54] Haku
    So don't go telling me
    you're "just in the way."
[13:58] Haku
    You're too young to stay in hiding all day.
[14:01] Mikado
    I never thought I'd see the day
[14:02] Mikado
    when you'd be the one to tell
    me not to stay in hiding.
[14:05] Haku
    It's fine. I was going to visit
    Tuskur anyway, one of these days.
[14:09] Haku
    It just moved up a little, is all.
[14:11] Kuon
    I'll take you there, I think!
[14:14] Kuon
    After all, I'm your guardian, Haku!
[14:18] Haku
    That's true.

[14:30] Haku
    Kuon?
[14:32] Kuon
    I'd like you to let me head back
     to the mansion alone, I think.
[14:36] Kuon
    I want to talk to Nekone in private.
[14:44] Haku
    Will you do that for me?
[14:45] Kuon
    Yeah. See you later.
[14:55] Nekone
    Where did Brother go? He's not in
    his bedroom, and it's almost dawn.
[15:04] Nekone
    Welcome back, Brother...
[15:08] Nekone
    Sister?
[15:10] Nekone
    What's wrong? Why are you out at this hour?
[15:17] Nekone
    Oh, Brother's asleep now.
[15:21] Nekone
    If you need something, I'll be happy to...
[15:23] Kuon
    That's how you've been
[15:26] Kuon
    supporting him this whole time, isn't it?
[15:29] Nekone
    Sister?
[15:30] Kuon
    He's so awkward, and this
    was all so new to him.
[15:34] Kuon
    You were so worried that you didn't
    have a moment to rest, I think.
[15:39] Nekone
    What are you...
[15:46] Kuon
    It's okay.
[15:48] Kuon
    Oshtor told me.
[15:50] Kuon
    No... Haku told me everything.
[15:56] Kuon
    It must've been so hard.
[15:58] Kuon
    You must've been so sad...
    It must've been so awful.
[16:03] Kuon
    And I didn't notice... I left you alone.
[16:11] Kuon
    I'm so sorry!
[16:13] Nekone
    It's all my fault!
[16:16] Nekone
    Haku was doing it for Yamato... For everyone.
[16:21] Nekone
    To grant my brother's wish,
    he had to kill the person he was!
[16:27] Nekone
    I... I stole Haku's future!
[16:34] Nekone
    I can't imagine how sad you
    were when you heard he died.
[16:39] Nekone
    I can't imagine how much it
    hurt him to see you go.
[16:44] Nekone
    And I knew the truth,
    but I kept lying to everyone!
[16:50] Nekone
    To so many people... and you...
[16:53] Nekone
    I caused you all so much pain.
[16:55] Kuon
    That's not true.
[16:57] Kuon
    It's not your fault.
[17:00] Kuon
    It was Haku's choice.
[17:03] Kuon
    You don't need to blame yourself.
[17:08] Nekone
    But I stole him from you!
[17:14] Kuon
    Even if he's acting like
    that now, Haku's still Haku.
[17:19] Kuon
    That's enough for me now, I think.
[17:24] Nekone
    Sister...
[17:26] Kuon
    And Oshtor really loved his sister.
[17:30] Kuon
    If he saw you like that, he'd be sad.
[17:42] Nekone
    Brother!
[17:46] Nekone
    Brother!
[17:55] Nekone
    This is the second time
    you've been there for me.
[17:58] Kuon
    The second time?
[17:59] Nekone
    When you came back to Ennakamuy,
    you combed my hair.
[18:04] Kuon
    It feels like a long time ago now, I think.
[18:08] Nekone
    Yes.
[18:09] Kuon
    Hey, why don't you come to Tuskur, too?
[18:12] Nekone
    Tuskur?
[18:14] Kuon
    Oshtor and I are going. There's something
    important we have to do there.
[18:18] Kuon
    Nobody there is going to
    care who Oshtor really is.
[18:24] Nekone
    Thank you. That's very kind.
[18:26] Nekone
    But I'll pass.
[18:29] Kuon
    Why?
[18:31] Nekone
    The time I stole from you...
    The time you spent with Haku...
[18:36] Nekone
    I want you to get back
    as much of it as you can.
[18:40] Kuon
    You really are kind. But...
[18:44] Nekone
    Please. Go alone.
[18:52] Kuon
    I'll keep him safe, okay?
[18:55] Nekone
    Okay, Sister!
[18:58] Kuon
    You do look best when
    you're smiling, I think.
[19:13] Soyankekur
    I'm surprised to see you going
    on a secret mission personally.
[19:16] Soyankekur
    I'll get you anywhere you can go by ship.
[19:21] Haku
    I'm grateful. I'm glad you
    were in the capital to help.
[19:26] Soyankekur
    I'd just brought the merchant
    fleet to the Omuchakko River.
[19:30] Soyankekur
    Enjoy your time aboard until we arrive.
[19:34] Haku
    I will.
[19:37] Haku
    Sorry, Kuon.
[19:39] Haku
    I don't know where I'm going on this
    journey. I can't get you involved.
[19:44] Haku
    Well, I left a note,
    so I'm sure she won't worry.
[19:49] Haku
    Now, time to settle in and enjoy the journey.
[19:53] Fumirul
    Would you care for some tea?
[19:55] Haku
    Oh, how kind—
[19:57] Haku
    Huh?
[20:00] Haku
    Fumirul? What are you doing here?
[20:03] Fumirul
    I'm not sure how to answer that.
[20:05] Fumirul
    I'm always by Ku's side.
[20:10] Kuon
    Why did you try to leave
    without telling me, I think?
[20:13] Haku
    W-Well, you see...
[20:17] Twins
    Let's move.
[20:18] Twins
    It's not good to get too much sun at sea.
[20:21] Twins
    We've prepared some shade
    for you. Come with us.
[20:24] Haku
    Wait!
[20:25] Kuon
    Hey, where are you taking him, I think?
[20:28] Kuon
    Wait, I think!
[20:30] Twins
    We will not wait.
[20:30] Twins
    It's our job to take care of our master.
[20:33] Fumirul
    Oh, my.
[20:41] Haku
    I'm sorry.
[20:43] Haku
    I can't go back to being Haku.
[20:47] Kuon
    I see.
[20:49] Haku
    So forget that name.
[20:52] Kuon
    I will.
[20:54] Haku
    I'm sorry for everything.
[20:56] Kuon
    What will you do now?
[20:58] Haku
    Look for the Master Key.
[20:59] Haku
    I promised my brother, after all.
[21:02] Kuon
    I see.
[21:03] Kuon
    Wait, no. Are you going
    to keep living this life?
[21:07] Haku
    No, when the time comes that
    they no longer need me,
[21:11] Haku
    I'm just going to quietly disappear.
[21:14] Haku
    It might be fun to travel the world.
[21:18] Kuon
    When that happens, will you...
[21:23] Kuon
    Nothing, I think.
[21:25] Kuon
    Oshtor, you're an Onvitaikayan, right?
[21:29] Kuon
    How did they live back then?
[21:32] Haku
    It'd take more than a night
    to tell you about that.
[21:36] Kuon
    That's okay.
[21:38] Kuon
    We have plenty of time.
[21:41] Kuon
    Tell me a little at a time.
[21:45] Haku
    The stars are so beautiful...
[21:48] Haku
    I'd never seen them myself.
[21:51] Haku
    After what happened, we lived underground.
