[00:10] Haku
    So this is Onkamiyamukai.
[00:15] Kuon
    Yeah.
[00:16] Kuon
    This is the land protected by the Onkami.
[00:19] Kuon
    It's a special place to the people of Tuskur.
[00:22] Fumirul
    People come from all over the nation
    to worship at the Great Shrine.
[00:59] Haku
    This is...
[01:01] Ulthury
    Remains of the great deeds of
    the Onvitaikayan are left here,
[01:04] Ulthury
    just as they were before.
[01:08] Haku
    "Before," huh?
[01:22] Kuon
    Is something wrong?
[01:23] Haku
    No, I'm fine.
[01:27] Haku
    Let's go.
[01:35] Haku
    The Akuruka...
[01:37] Haku
    Someone is calling me?
SIGN    Utawarerumono
SIGN    Mask of Truth
[03:13] Haku
    A city this size left untouched...
[03:17] Haku
    I knew it rationally, but...
    humanity's really gone, isn't it?
[03:27] Haku
    What's wrong, you two?
[03:34] Haku
    Tatari?
[03:36] Ulthury
    They will not attack you.
[03:39] Twins
    They've been purified.
[03:41] Twins
    This place has been sanctified.
[03:44] Twins
    The Tatari remain calm and at peace.
[03:47] Haku
    Do they?
[03:49] Ulthury
    Yes.
[04:13] Kuon
    Impossible...
[04:14] Kuon
    This is... a seal?
[04:21] Fumirul
    Ku? What's wrong?
[04:24] Kuon
    It was supposed to be just a
    fairy tale, they said. But...
[04:30] Haku
    Kuon!
[04:33] Ulthury
    You're sure this is what you want, yes?
[04:35] Haku
    Ulthury?
[04:36] Ulthury
    What you seek lies ahead, I'm sure.
[04:40] Ulthury
    But if you go inside, all hope
    may be shattered forever.
[04:45] Ulthury
    Will you still go?
[04:50] Haku
    I'm fine.
[04:52] Ulthury
    I apologize for overstepping
    my bounds. Please forgive me.
[04:57] Ulthury
    This is as far as I can take you.
[04:59] Ulthury
    The one inside the shrine shall
    guide you the rest of the way.
[05:30] Eruruu
    Welcome.
[05:32] Haku
    You're...
[05:34] Eruruu
    Yes. I'm Eruruu. I have been tasked
    with administering this facility.
[05:39] Fumirul
    Eruruu...
[05:41] Haku
    A pleasure to meet you. I am Oshtor.
[05:46] Eruruu
    I am aware. And I know your true
    name as well, and why you've come.
[05:52] Eruruu
    Only those who have the right
    to enter this place may do so.
[05:57] Haku
    The right?
[05:59] Kuon
    Why?
[06:01] Kuon
    What are you doing here?
[06:03] Eruruu
    You've grown up, Kuon.
[06:08] Kuon
    Mother!
[06:17] Kuon
    Mother... Mother...
[06:21] Eruruu
    You've grown up so big, but you're
    still a little crybaby, aren't you?
[06:26] Kuon
    Because... you just disappeared.
[06:29] Kuon
    I looked for you everywhere,
    but I couldn't find you!
[06:36] Eruruu
    I'm sorry I worried you.
[06:39] Kuon
    You know... I'm an herbalist now.
[06:44] Kuon
    I wanted to be a great herbalist...
    like you... so I worked so hard.
[06:51] Eruruu
    That's great. You worked
    really hard, didn't you, Kuon?
[06:55] Fumirul
    Ku...
[06:58] Eruruu
    I longed to hold you like this, to pat
    you on the head and tell you I'm proud.
[07:03] Eruruu
    To tell you that you're my beloved daughter.
[07:08] Eruruu
    I'm so sorry.
[07:11] Kuon
    Mother... Mother...
[07:23] Eruruu
    Are you okay now?
[07:25] Kuon
    Yeah.
[07:27] Eruruu
    Don't worry. I won't
    disappear on you again.
[07:31] Eruruu
    So for now, I need to do my
    duty for the man you brought here.
[07:37] Kuon
    Okay.
[07:38] Haku
    Kuon's always so strong, but now...
[07:41] Eruruu
    Thank you for waiting. Please come inside.
[07:45] Eruruu
    The master of this shrine awaits you.
[07:50] Haku
    The master of the shrine?
[08:01] Eruruu
    I've brought them.
[08:03] Hakuowlo
    Thank you.
[08:07] Hakuowlo
    And welcome,
[08:09] Hakuowlo
    Utawarerumono.
[08:10] Haku
    Utawarerumono?
[08:12] Haku
    What's that?
[08:14] Haku
    And is that really a person in there?
[08:19] Hakuowlo
    Now then, Oshtor.
[08:21] Hakuowlo
    Or would it be better to call you "Haku"?
[08:30] Hakuowlo
    You've come seeking a way to bring rest to
    the ones they call the Onvitaikayan, yes?
[08:36] Hakuowlo
    I can understand your pain,
    but I can do no more than that.
[08:41] Hakuowlo
    Your wish is an illusion.
[08:44] Hakuowlo
    Nothing in the world exists
    that can grant such a wish.
[08:48] Hakuowlo
    They cannot be released from their purgatory.
[08:53] Hakuowlo
    Thus, they are "the ones
    who are lost forever."
[08:57] Hakuowlo
    There's no point in wasting
    your time on the impossible.
[09:00] Hakuowlo
    Don't you agree, Haku?
[09:03] Haku
    I haven't proven what you
    say to be true for myself.
[09:09] Haku
    Even if I don't know how to do it now,
     that doesn't mean I never will.
[09:15] Haku
    No matter how many years it takes,
[09:18] Haku
    if I seek the answer, I shall find it someday.
[09:23] Haku
    And thus, I will continue to struggle.
[09:25] Haku
    That's what it means to be human!
[09:32] Hakuowlo
    You are different from the others, after all.
[09:36] Hakuowlo
    That's why I called you here.
[09:41] Hakuowlo
    First, you should know the truth of humanity.
[09:48] Hakuowlo
    In the distant past, there was a
    race that flourished on this world.
[09:53] Hakuowlo
    In their wisdom, they created many things.
[09:58] Hakuowlo
    Things that only a divine being could make.
[10:01] Hakuowlo
    There was nothing, it seemed,
    that was impossible for them.
[10:06] Hakuowlo
    Thus, even now, they are revered
[10:11] Hakuowlo
    as the great fathers, the Onvitaikayan.
[10:16] Hakuowlo
    But they failed to become gods.
[10:21] Hakuowlo
    And the price of playing at
    godhood was a terrible one.
[10:27] Hakuowlo
    Their power warped the natural order,
    and poisoned the skies and seas.
[10:35] Hakuowlo
    But they lacked the strength to
    live in this poisonous world.
[10:40] Hakuowlo
    They fled underground to escape it,
[10:44] Hakuowlo
    and they sought strong bodies that
    would enable them to survive.
[10:48] Hakuowlo
    This was the beginning of
    the True Humanity project.
[10:52] Hakuowlo
    But the research failed
    to grant them their wish.
[10:57] Hakuowlo
    And then the fated day came.
[11:01] Hakuowlo
    They awoke something that
    could grant their wish.
[11:07] Hakuowlo
    It was...
[11:09] Kuon
    Onkami Uitsualnemetia.
[11:13] Haku
    Kuon?
[11:14] Kuon
    A god said to rejoice in granting wishes,
[11:17] Kuon
    who will respond to any wish you have.
[11:20] Kuon
    But...
[11:21] Twins
    ...also a Nugwisomkami,
    a god that leads to destruction.
[11:24] Twins
    The price of granting that wish
[11:26] Twins
    was the destruction of paradise,
    and the exile of mankind.
[11:32] Kuon
    That's what the legends say.
SIGN    Episode Twenty-One
SIGN    Humanity's Heir
[11:45] Hakuowlo
    Thus they made their wish,
     and it was granted.
[11:50] Hakuowlo
    They were given strong bodies.
    Immortal bodies that would never age.
[11:56] Hakuowlo
    They paid a heavy price, though.
[11:58] Haku
    Don't tell me... that price...
[12:00] Hakuowlo
    Their human forms... and their reason.
[12:04] Hakuowlo
    The loss of their forms caused them
[12:06] Hakuowlo
    to cease maintaining any form at all.
[12:09] Hakuowlo
    And the loss of their reason
[12:11] Hakuowlo
    caused them to devour everything
    as their instincts drove them.
[12:16] Hakuowlo
    They're no longer even living
    creatures as we understand them.
[12:21] Hakuowlo
    They'll never go back to their old forms,
[12:23] Hakuowlo
    but they cannot die.
[12:26] Hakuowlo
    They'll wander the depths
    of the world forever.
[12:30] Hakuowlo
    That is the true nature of the Tatari.
    The final fate of the Onvitaikayan.
[12:38] Fumirul
    Is that true?
[12:40] Twins
    It is.
[12:42] Twins
    It matches what we know to be true.
[12:45] Fumirul
    So we've met the Onvitaikayan
    many times without knowing it.
[12:51] Haku
    Then if we ask that god to turn them back...
[12:54] Kuon
    That's probably a bad idea.
[12:58] Kuon
    The wishes always come with a price, I think.
[13:01] Haku
    You mean...
[13:03] Hakuowlo
    Uitsualnemetia changed them into that
    form to grant their wish of immortality.
[13:12] Kuon
    I can't even imagine what
    it would want in payment
[13:15] Kuon
    if we asked it to cure every
     Tatari in existence, I think.
[13:21] Haku
    It may only make things worse, huh?
[13:25] Kuon
    And even if you wanted to,
    I don't think you could.
[13:30] Kuon
    Uitsualnemetia has been sealed
    and is in a deep sleep.
[13:37] Hakuowlo
    You're sure?
[13:38] Eruruu
    Yes.
[13:39] Hakuowlo
    Then I will leave it all in your hands.
[13:43] Eruruu
    Thank you.
[13:46] Kuon
    That's...
[13:52] Eruruu
    Take this.
[13:53] Haku
    Is that... the Master Key?
[13:56] Eruruu
    Yes.
[13:58] Eruruu
    You need it, don't you?
[14:01] Kuon
    But isn't that important to you?
[14:04] Eruruu
    It's fine, Kuon.
[14:06] Eruruu
    The memories it's part of
     will always be in my heart.
[14:09] Kuon
    But...
[14:10] Eruruu
    And this was something granted
    to us by the ancients.
[14:15] Eruruu
    We've passed it down through the ages for
     the sake of granting it to the Onvitaikayan.
[14:20] Kuon
    Mother...
[14:22] Ulthury
    Wait, please.
[14:27] Ulthury
    Someone else has arrived who also bears
    the right to inherit the ancient key.
[14:38] Woshis
    Oh, you're all here?
[14:42] Haku
    He's one of the Eight Pillar Generals, right?
[14:46] Haku
    Woshis, what are you doing here?
[14:49] Ulthury
    Silence.
[14:51] Ulthury
    This is a holy place.
[14:53] Ulthury
    None may be allowed to shed blood here.
[14:57] Woshis
    It's been a long time, Oshtor.
[15:01] Haku
    Woshis, it's strange to see you here.
[15:06] Woshis
    Well, I have my reasons.
[15:09] Woshis
    To tell the truth, I've come here
    to play a role similar to yours.
[15:15] Haku
    Role?
[15:16] Woshis
    Yes.
[15:17] Woshis
    If I said I was sent here by the last
    Mikado, perhaps that would help?
[15:23] Haku
    What?
[15:26] Woshis
    I apologize for my sudden intrusion,
    master of Onkamiyamukai.
[15:32] Woshis
    I am Woshis.
[15:34] Woshis
    I've come here in pursuit of my objective.
[15:36] Hakuowlo
    And that is...
[15:38] Hakuowlo
    Well, I suppose I don't need to ask.
[15:40] Woshis
    Yes. The key.
[15:42] Woshis
    I've come for the Master Key.
[15:44] Haku
    What's going on?
[15:46] Haku
    My brother didn't say a word about that!
[15:50] Hakuowlo
    The key is not granted to all who wish it.
[15:54] Hakuowlo
    Do you have the right?
[15:56] Woshis
    Yes, of course I do.
[15:58] Woshis
    For I am the heir to the Onvitaikayan.
[16:06] Woshis
    The looks on your faces...
[16:08] Woshis
    You don't believe me.
[16:10] Woshis
    Let me tell you what I know, then, as proof.
[16:16] Woshis
    Let me tell you about the Iceman Project,
    which came after the True Humanity Project.
[16:22] (Flashback) Haku
    I'll send you the data. Take a look.
[16:26] (Flashback) Mikado
    Would you look at that...
[16:28] (Flashback) Haku
    It's something totally different from
    the True Humanity project now, isn't it?
[16:32] Haku
    That's right.
[16:33] Haku
    That's what ruined everything.
[16:36] Hakuowlo
    Tell me.
[16:40] Woshis
    A mysterious man was found in a glacier,
     still alive after countless eons.
[16:46] Woshis
    The scientists placed their last
    hopes in his powerful life force.
[16:52] Woshis
    The unknown power hidden within him
    far exceeded their imaginations.
[16:58] Woshis
    The True Humanity project changed its name
    to the Iceman Project, and continued.
[17:05] Woshis
    A huge step forward, but then they
    all vanished in a single night.
[17:13] Woshis
    Now, is that enough proof?
[17:17] Hakuowlo
    Very well.
[17:18] Hakuowlo
    You also have the right.
[17:21] Hakuowlo
    I ask you both, what will
    you do with the Master Key?
[17:26] Hakuowlo
    What is your answer?
[17:28] Haku
    I will bring peace to my fellow man.
[17:30] Haku
    I want to free them.
[17:32] Haku
    There must be a reason
    I awoke here in this world.
[17:37] Haku
    I want to fulfill the last duty I was given.
[17:41] Woshis
    I will explore the unknown.
[17:44] Hakuowlo
    And what would you learn?
[17:46] Woshis
    Everything.
[17:47] Hakuowlo
    And what would you do with that knowledge?
[17:49] Woshis
    I wish to give my former comrades peace,
    of course, just like Oshtor.
[17:56] Woshis
    As the heir to their legacy, it is my duty.
[18:01] Woshis
    But it is nothing more than a duty.
[18:03] Woshis
    Infinite curiosity and the desire
     to learn everything...
[18:07] Woshis
    That's what makes one truly a human.
[18:10] Woshis
    It's not something that
    can be described by logic.
[18:12] Hakuowlo
    But that's what led to their destruction.
[18:15] Hakuowlo
    They touched that which should not
    be touched in search of wisdom.
[18:21] Hakuowlo
    Would you still seek knowledge?
[18:31] Haku
    He's laughing?
[18:33] Woshis
    When you say it, it carries
    a different weight...
[18:37] Woshis
    Iceman.
[18:39] Woshis
    Or should I call you Onkami Uitsualnemetia?
[18:46] Haku
    The one who was talking
    was Iceman? An Onkami?
[18:51] Woshis
    I've said too much.
[18:54] Woshis
    But now you understand that I'm the
    one who should bear the Master Key.
[19:00] Woshis
    Yes, as the heir to humanity,
[19:03] Woshis
    I should be given the Mikado's legacy,
     the secrets of humanity.
[19:10] Woshis
    It's a true shame.
[19:12] Woshis
    The Mikado was a great man,
    but he made one big mistake.
[19:18] Woshis
    Choosing you as his heir instead of me, Oshtor!
[19:23] Woshis
    No, Haku!
[19:27] Woshis
    He always did get sloppy when
    the work was almost over.
[19:29] Woshis
    They may worship him as a living god,
     but he's just a human.
[19:35] Uruuru
    Impudent!
[19:37] Uruuru
    Those words are an insult to
    the emperor and our master!
[19:43] Ulthury
    Silence.
[19:44] Ulthury
    This is a holy place.
[19:46] Ulthury
    I just told you that.
[19:48] Ulthury
    No fighting is allowed here.
[19:51] Ulthury
    If you insist, then I will have to face you.
[19:58] Woshis
    I've certainly no intention of incurring
    the wrath of one of the line of Mutsumi.
[20:03] Hakuowlo
    But you're not going to just leave, either.
[20:07] Woshis
    I won't deny that.
[20:09] Haku
    And I cannot allow you
    to have the Master Key.
[20:13] Kuon
    You can't have the right to inherit
    my mother's treasure, I think!
[20:18] Woshis
    Then what would you have me do?
[20:20] Hakuowlo
    Very well. Let us take this
     somewhere else, then.
[20:23] Eruruu
    You're sure?
[20:25] Hakuowlo
    If both sides have something
    they refuse to give up,
[20:28] Hakuowlo
    they must win by force.
    That is the way of the world.
[20:31] Hakuowlo
    That is the most I can offer you.
[20:35] Ulthury
    There is a barrier here.
[20:38] Ulthury
    You won't harm the surroundings.
[20:42] Woshis
    This place seems perfect.
[20:45] Hakuowlo
    We will not intervene.
[20:47] Hakuowlo
    This is a battle to decide your fate.
[20:51] Fumirul
    You two won't help us?
[20:55] Ulthury
    It doesn't truly belong to us.
[20:58] Ulthury
    It's up to him to decide.
[21:01] Woshis
    Now, even after what he said,
    are you planning to fight for real?
[21:05] Haku
    I won't let you have the Master Key!
[21:09] Woshis
    How frightening. I'm a busy man, though.
[21:15] Woshis
    Let's finish this quickly.
[21:19] Kuon
    Mother!
[21:24] Kuon
    Coward!
[21:27] Haku
    He was Raiko's...
[21:30] Woshis
    Now give me the Master Key.
[21:34] Eruruu
    It's okay.
[21:35] Eruruu
    He should be here soon.
[21:38] Kuon
    You mean...
[21:49] Haku
    This lightning... Is that...
[21:56] Mikazuchi
    I just got here, and it looks
    like a fun time already...
[22:04] Mikazuchi
    Oshtor!
