**[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!
