[00:18] Moroha
    This happened three years ago.

    I was still a kid who didn't know
     my left from my right.

SIGN    MOROHA'S MASTER, WOLF-DEMON – YAWARAGI
[00:34] Moroha
    What is it, Master?
[00:36] Yawaragi
    Deep within this cave, the crucible of Kodoku
     will soon fulfill its vow.
[00:41] Moroha
    The crucible of Kodoku?
[00:43] Yawaragi
    It's a spell of Fuko used in Onmyodo.
[00:48] Yawaragi
    Within this cave, there are hundreds
     of demons fighting against each other,
[00:53] Yawaragi
    and the last surviving one will become
    known as Kodoku, the strongest demon.
[01:02] Moroha
    And?
[01:03] Moroha
    Could it be that you want me to go in there?
[01:06] Yawaragi
    That's right. Go in, throw yourself
     into that battle, and survive.
[01:11] Yawaragi
    If you emerge victorious, as a symbol
     of completing your training,
[01:15] Yawaragi
    I'll reward you
     with my prized Kurikaramaru.
[01:19] Moroha
    You'd give me Kurikaramaru?
[01:21] Yawaragi
    It's been three years
[01:22] Yawaragi
    since I was entrusted with you
    from the Chief of the Wolf-Demon Tribe.
[01:26] Yawaragi
    This will be your last lesson,
     and your training will be complete.
[03:15] Towa Higurashi
    "Double-Edged Moroha"
[03:31] Moroha
    I'm at my limit.
[03:32] Moroha
    I have to use this.
[03:35] Yawaragi
    I forbid you to use your rouge.
[03:37] Moroha
    Why can't I? I'm still just a kid.
[03:40] Moroha
    If I'm fighting the Kodoku demons,
    then I can't win unless I become Beniyasha.
[03:45] Yawaragi
    It's not about winning.
[03:46] Yawaragi
    It's much more important
     to be able to maintain yourself in battle.
[03:51] Yawaragi
    Don't hesitate! You can win,
     just use your creative imagination.
[03:56] Moroha
    What the heck is creative imagination?
[04:00] Yawaragi
    Do you understand?
     You cannot use your rouge.
[04:04] Moroha
    All right, all right, Master.
[04:07] Last Demon
    You're the only one left.
     I will be the one to leave this cave.
[04:14] Moroha
    Hey! Maybe we could talk about this.
[04:17] Moroha
    How about we work together
     and get out of this cave, huh?
[04:21] Last Demon
    You're joking, right? Work together?
     And you call yourself a demon?
[04:26] Last Demon
    Hold on.
     I smell human blood from you.
[04:31] Moroha
    Yeah, I'm a quarter-demon.
[04:33] Last Demon
    What? There's no way a measly quarter-demon
     can be fine with all this demon energy.
[04:40] Moroha
    That's 'cause I have spirit power
     that can purify demon energy.
[04:44] Last Demon
    Ridiculous.
[04:45] Last Demon
    A quarter-demon with spirit power?!
     Why mix an impurity like that into the crucible?
[04:51] Last Demon
    Hey, demon gambling house bookie,
     what's going on?
[04:55] Last Demon
    The Kodoku will get muddy.
[04:58] Moroha
    Why don't you shut up about the details?
[05:01] Moroha
    Blades of Blood!
[05:06] Moroha
    You're wide open.
[05:15] Moroha
    Sorry, but I really can't take
    much more of this.
[05:24] Moroha
    That's why I said
     we should work together.
[05:33] Moroha
    You should listen to
     people's advice, you know.
[05:36] Moroha
    Well, see ya.
     Hope you live a good life!
[05:40] Moroha
    Hup!
[05:46] Moroha
    I somehow won.
[05:50] Moroha
    Master? Master Yawaragi?
[05:56] Moroha
    You're kidding me, right?
[06:02] Jyubei
    You threw that child
     into the crucible of Kodoku?
SIGN    CORPSE DEALER

[06:06] Yawaragi
    CORPSE DEALER
     Yes, I did.
[06:07] Yawaragi
    She has a fifty-fifty chance of surviving.
[06:12] Jyubei
    If you sealed her rouge,
     then her chance of winning is...
[06:17] Jyubei
    twenty, maybe ten percent.
SIGN    CORPSE DEALER JYUBEI

[06:19] Jyubei

     However, I suppose
[06:20] Jyubei

     this would be good training.

[06:24] Yawaragi
    Moroha is a quarter-demon born
     between a half-demon and a human.
[06:28] Yawaragi
    If she were full-demon...
[06:30] Yawaragi
    no matter what crisis came her way,
[06:32] Yawaragi
    she'd be able to keep her heart,
     and she'd never lose her sense of self.
[06:36] Yawaragi
    Of course, Moroha is different.
[06:39] Yawaragi
    When she is cornered and
    her life is in danger,
[06:43] Yawaragi
    her great demon's blood
     will take over, and she'll transform.
[06:46] Yawaragi
    However, just like the meaning of her name,
     she's a double-edged sword.
[06:51] Yawaragi
    The more she transforms,
     the more her heart will disappear.
[06:55] Yawaragi
    She'll turn into a monster that only fights.
[07:02] Jyubei
    So that's why you used the rouge
     and sealed away her great demon blood.
[07:08] Yawaragi
    Originally, the seal was something
     her mother, Lady Kagome, had applied,
[07:13] Yawaragi
    but I taught her how to dispel the seal
     by transforming into Beniyasha.
[07:19] Jyubei
    But that girl has been using the rouge
     without knowing about any of this.
[07:27] Yawaragi
    Truly troublesome indeed.
[07:31] Jyubei
    Looks like I won.
[07:33] Jyubei
    If you could kindly hand that over.
[07:39] Jyubei
    However, Lady Yawaragi,
[07:41] Jyubei
    for you to sell off your esteemed pupil
     in a gamble for just three ryou...
[07:45] Yawaragi
    In order to train her to
    maintain her sense of self,
[07:48] Yawaragi
    I had to put her through
     the crucible of Kodoku.
[07:50] Yawaragi
    The only way to do that was to
    go through the demon gambling house.
[07:55] Jyubei
    And now you only have two ryou left.
[07:59] Yawaragi
    I'm in a tough spot.
[08:01] Yawaragi
    I need to get this Armor of the Iron-rat
    off of me as soon as possible, too.
[08:06] Jyubei
    How much more will it cost?
[08:08] Yawaragi
    According to an old armor dealer,
[08:11] Yawaragi
    a blacksmith rat can make a key to remove it,
    but it would cost twelve ryou.
[08:18] Jyubei
    I see. Then this corpse dealer can...
[08:22] Moroha
    There you are, you old hag!
[08:24] Yawaragi
    Oh, Moroha.
     You managed to get out, huh?
[08:28] Moroha
    Shut up! Why the hell didn't you
     wait for me back there?
[08:32] Moroha
    Did you seriously sell me off
     to the demon gambling house?
[08:35] Yawaragi
    Can you blame me? I needed
     seed money to play some sugoroku.
[08:39] Moroha
    I've had it with your gambling problem!
     Our master-pupil relationship ends today.
[08:45] Moroha
    I've finished my training,
     so let me have Kurikaramaru.
[08:50] Yawaragi
    Your demon power
     hasn't gotten stronger at all.
[08:53] Yawaragi
    You didn't absorb the Kodoku's powers
     after defeating it?
[08:56] Moroha
    Well, I sure as hell won that battle.
[08:59] Moroha
    But who would ever want to absorb powers
    from such a gross demon?
[09:06] Jyubei
    You're pretty amazing to have escaped
     from the crucible of Kodoku.
[09:11] Moroha
    Hey old man, who're you?
[09:12] Jyubei
    I'm Corpse Dealer Jyubei.
     I deal in demons' bounties.
[09:17] Moroha
    Yeah, yeah, whatever.
[09:19] Moroha
    Master Yawaragi.
[09:20] Moroha
    Wait, we're not master-pupil anymore.
     I don't need to be formal.
[09:25] Moroha
    Hey, Yawaragi.
[09:26] Moroha
    Hand over Kurikaramaru,
    or we're gonna have to fight it out!
[09:29] Jyubei
    Now hold on, child.
[09:31] Jyubei
    What do you say? Lady Yawaragi,
    how about I pay for the child?
[09:37] Moroha
    Pay for me?
[09:38] Jyubei
    For pulling out of the gambling house,
     for the Armor of the Iron-rat key,
[09:42] Jyubei
    and for what you lost
     in our sugoroku round.
[09:45] Jyubei
    How does fifteen ryou sound for all of that?
[09:48] Yawaragi
    Sold!
[09:49] Moroha
    W-Wait, sold?
[09:50] Jyubei
    However, please hand
     Kurikaramaru over to Moroha.
[09:56] Yawaragi
    That's a sacrifice I'll have to make.
[10:06] Yawaragi
    That's all of it.
[10:08] Yawaragi
    Right. Farewell, Moroha.
[10:11] Moroha
    Wait! Hey!
[10:13] Jyubei
    Moroha.
[10:15] Jyubei
    As of today, you've been hired for
     fifteen ryou to this corpse dealer, Jyubei.
[10:20] Jyubei
    You will return that debt
    through bounty hunting.
[10:24] Moroha
    What?! Why do I have to be the one to
    pay back that money to you?
[10:29] Moroha
    You're kidding me, right?
[10:30] Jyubei
    Would you rather go back to
    the gambling house
[10:32] Jyubei
    and continue to fight in
    the crucible of Kodoku forever?
[10:37] Jyubei
    If you don't want to do that, then make
     this bounty hunting trade your business.
[10:42] Moroha
    All right, fine, old man.
[10:44] Jyubei
    It's Mr. Jyubei.
[10:47] Moroha
    Fine, Mr. Jyubei.
[10:54] Moroha
    It's been three years.
[10:58] Moroha
    It's been a while...
[11:00] Moroha
    Yawaragi.
[11:07] Moroha
    You're still wearing the Armor of the Iron-rat?
[11:10] Moroha
    You couldn't find the blacksmith rats?
[11:13] Yawaragi
    Well, it took a long time, but I found
     the blacksmith rats' hidden village.
[11:19] Moroha
    Then, why?
[11:21] Yawaragi
    I found the village,
    but everyone had been slaughtered.
[11:27] Yawaragi
    As you know,
[11:29] Yawaragi
    my Armor of the Iron-rat and
     your Robe of the Fire-rat were created
[11:33] Yawaragi
    in a blacksmith rats' workshop
    deep in the mountains.
[11:36] Yawaragi
    However...
[11:38] Yawaragi
    How cruel.
[11:48] Konton
    You can't find it?

    ONE OF THE FOUR PERILS – KONTON
    Isn't this what you're looking for,
[11:53] Konton
    Yawaragi?
[11:55] Yawaragi
    Was this your doing?
[11:57] Konton
    Rats are useless creatures
     with no discipline.
[12:00] Konton
    I didn't need to kill them,
     but I thought I might as well.
[12:05] Yawaragi
    You might as well?
[12:07] Konton
    Oh, that's right.
[12:09] Konton
    I hear the Armor of the Iron-rat
    you're wearing shrinks as years go by.
[12:15] Konton
    A cursed piece of armor that, in the end,
[12:18] Konton
    shrinks to the size of a rat and
    crushes the wearer's body to pieces.
[12:24] Yawaragi
    Who are you?
[12:26] Konton
    I serve Lord Kirinmaru.
[12:29] Konton
    My name is Konton of the Four Perils.
[12:33] Yawaragi
    Konton.
[12:34] Konton
    However, we are currently Two Perils.
[12:37] Konton
    Do you know anything
     about the one who defeated
[12:41] Konton
    one of the Four Perils, Tokotsu,
     and stole the Red Rainbow Pearl from him?
[12:46] Konton
    I think you might be surprised.
[12:49] Konton
    It was Moroha,
     your beloved former pupil.
[12:53] Yawaragi
    Moroha?
[12:55] Konton
    You can have the key to that armor of yours,
     but only in exchange for Moroha's head.
[13:00] Konton
    If you refuse,
     I shall break this key right here.
[13:05] Yawaragi
    Why don't you do it yourself? Why ask me?
[13:10] Konton
    I thought I'd offer Tokotsu the entertainment
     of a master-pupil showdown.
[13:19] Towa Higurashi
    Oh, no. So Konton's showdown is...
[13:22] Setsuna
    Disgusting.
[13:23] Moroha
    I'm fine with that.
[13:25] Moroha
    Besides, I don't feel any kind of gratitude
     towards you at all.
[13:29] Moroha
    Let's give them a showdown,
    just like they want.
[13:33] Yawaragi
    That's good. And that's why
     you were worthy of being my pupil.
[13:39] Moroha
    No need to help me. This is a fight
     between me and Yawaragi.
[13:43] Moroha
    I hear you've mastered
     the Crimson Dragon Wave.
[13:46] Yawaragi
    But how powerful is it coming from
    a quarter-demon like you?
[13:51] Moroha
    Why don't I just show you?
[13:53] Moroha
    Crimson Dragon Wave!
[14:01] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha.
[14:02] Setsuna
    She stopped it!
     A brute force attack won't work.
[14:06] Moroha
    Then try this. Sacred Arrow!
[14:11] Yawaragi
    How ridiculous. With spirit power this weak,
     you can barely call it sacred.
[14:17] Moroha
    Heavenly Arrow Barrage!
[14:25] Yawaragi
    Take this.
[14:29] Setsuna
    I'm helping you.
[14:30] Towa Higurashi
    Yeah, I can't just stand and watch.
[14:33] Moroha
    You can't!
    This is between me and Yawaragi.
[14:38] Yawaragi
    So you'll begin destroying the lands.
[14:40] Yawaragi
    You fool! You continue to lose your own heart
     because fear overpowers you.
[14:46] Yawaragi
    Didn't I teach you to overcome
    that weakness of yours?
[14:49] Moroha
    Shut up! This is my power!
[14:52] Yawaragi
    If you're only good for fighting,
     then you're a monster, not a demon.
[14:57] Yawaragi
    If you don't carry your fear,
    then your body and heart feel no pain.
[15:02] Yawaragi
    You won't be able to understand
     your opponent's pain, either.
[15:06] Yawaragi
    A monster like that...
[15:09] Yawaragi
    ...has no right to live!
[15:13] Towa Higurashi
    Moroha!
[15:14] Setsuna
    Wait, she's trying to
     teach Moroha something.
[15:21] Yawaragi
    Go ahead and use your rouge.
[15:24] Yawaragi
    But remember, once you do,
     you're nothing but a puppet.
[15:30] Moroha
    Without the rouge,
    I can't win against Yawaragi.
[15:34] Yawaragi
    A pitiful fool you are. A quarter-demon,
    an incomplete existence.
[15:40] Yawaragi
    With you, hope will never see the light of day.
[15:47] Yawaragi
    You haven't changed,
     not a single bit since you were little.
[15:52] Moroha
    Since I was little...
[15:54] Yawaragi
    Moroha, you cannot use your rouge!

    Looks like you're in trouble.

    Just an armor dealer passing by.
[16:35] Weasel Man
    I saw that girl wearing
    the Robe of the Fire-rat,
[16:37] Weasel Man
    so I thought I'd recommend
     this Armor of the Iron-rat to you.
[16:41] Weasel Man
    More defense,
    and more demon power!
[16:44] Weasel Man
    With this armor,
    the Birds of Paradise are nothing!
[16:47] Weasel Man
    All you have to do is place this key
     in the keyhole on my back here.
[16:55] Weasel Man
    Hurry, hurry.
     The armor will mold to fit you perfectly.
[17:00] Yawaragi
    Needs must, I guess.
[17:02] Weasel Man
    Thanks for your business.
[17:11] Yawaragi
    What is...
[17:12] Weasel Man
    Oh thank goodness.
     My body was about to be crushed.
[17:16] Yawaragi
    What's going on?
[17:19] Weasel Man
    You'll have to pay a handsome sum and
    get a new key made to take off that armor.
[17:25] Weasel Man
    And make sure you have someone else unlock it,
    like how you did just now!
[17:30] Yawaragi
    It was cursed armor?
[17:39] Yawaragi
    My power's surging.
     It's the armor, huh?
[17:43] Yawaragi
    Scattering Winds!
[17:55] Moroha
    That's right.
[17:56] Moroha
    The armor, the scars on her face...
    they're all because of me.
[18:03] Moroha
    Your Scattering Winds
     was really cool.
[18:06] Yawaragi
    I see, were you recalling that moment?
[18:10] Moroha
    I won't use the rouge.
[18:12] Moroha
    Defeating you by
    letting the demon take over
[18:15] Moroha
    won't actually mean that I beat you.
[18:19] Yawaragi
    Well said. Let's move on to
    the last stage, Moroha!
[18:23] Moroha
    Last stage?
[18:24] Yawaragi
    I'm going to use my Scattering Winds.
     Are you ready?
[18:30] Konton
    I'll thoroughly enjoy the moment
     you kill your pupil with your own hands...
[18:35] Konton
    Then, this key will be all yours.
[18:40] Yawaragi
    Oh, you'll enjoy it all right.
[18:48] Moroha
    Go ahead and do it!
[18:49] Yawaragi
    Moroha, this is the end.
    Put everything you have into this moment.
[18:54] Moroha
    All right, I'll try!
[18:56] Yawaragi
    This is it.
[18:58] Yawaragi
    Scattering Winds!
[19:02] Yawaragi
    Don't hesitate! You can win,
    just use your creative imagination.
[19:11] Towa Higurashi
    What's happening?
[19:17] Moroha
    Crimson Dragon Wave!
[19:21] Yawaragi
    Well done, Moroha.
[19:24] Konton
    What are you...
[19:25] Yawaragi
    This is the end of the master-pupil
     showdown you wanted.
[19:28] Yawaragi
    Feel it with your flesh.
[19:31] Konton
    You fool.
[19:38] Yawaragi
    What?
[19:43] Moroha
    Yawaragi!
[19:48] Konton
    The Blue Rainbow Pearl was helpful.
     As for this...
[19:54] Setsuna
    Damn you. Scourge of Swallows!
[19:56] Konton
    We'll meet again, half-demons.
[19:59] Setsuna
    He got away.
[20:01] Towa Higurashi
    Another strange spell.
[20:05] Moroha
    Master Yawaragi.
[20:07] Yawaragi
    Well done, Moroha.
[20:09] Yawaragi
    That was the Crimson Backlash Wave.
[20:14] Yawaragi
    If I've taught you that,
     then I have no more regrets.
[20:19] Moroha
    Master Yawaragi!
[20:22] Yawaragi
    Have strength in your heart, Moroha...
[20:28] Moroha
    Master Yawaragi!
[20:31] Moroha
    No...
[20:32] Moroha
    Master Yawaragi...
[20:38] Moroha
    Master!
[20:49] Moroha
    I wonder who I am.
[20:53] Moroha
    I'm not a demon. I'm not a human.
     I'm not even a half-demon.
[20:58] Moroha
    There was no place for me,
     and I had nowhere to go.
[21:02] Moroha
    That's why I always ran around by myself
[21:06] Moroha
    and went about making all sorts of noise.
[21:09] Moroha
    I didn't know any other way to live.
[21:13] Moroha
    I feel like it's pure luck
     that I've survived up to this point.

    And I have to keep living as
    an incomplete quarter-demon.
[21:21] Setsuna
    You might be right.
[21:25] Setsuna
    However, you can always
    change the way you live.
[21:29] Setsuna
    No matter what you do,
    how you want to live is up to you.
[21:36] Moroha

     None of us are alone anymore, right?
[21:44] Moroha
    Yeah.
[21:47] Moroha
    That's right.
[21:48] Moroha
