[00:01] Towa Higurashi
    Towa and Setsuna.
[00:02] Towa Higurashi
    Between us half-demon twins,
    two different worlds exist at the same time.

[00:08] Towa Higurashi
    Human and demon.
[00:10] Towa Higurashi
    Feudal era and present day.
[00:12] Towa Higurashi
    Peacefulness and war.
[00:14] Towa Higurashi
    Joy and sorrow.
[00:16] Towa Higurashi
    Dreams and reality.
[00:17] Towa Higurashi
    One moment and eternity.
[00:19] Towa Higurashi
    And finally, love and hate.
[00:23] Towa Higurashi
    A Feudal Fairytale,
    Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.

[00:26] Towa Higurashi
    We'll keep moving forward
    through the hurdles of destiny!

[00:33] Osamu Kirin
    Well, well, Mr. Higurashi,
    is that you?
[00:36] Osamu Kirin
    Good evening, Mr. Higurashi.
[00:38] Sota Higurashi
    Sorry, I don't recall your name.
[00:41] Osamu Kirin
    I'm Miss Towa's homeroom teacher,
    Osamu Kirin.
[00:45] Sota Higurashi
    Oh, hello.
[00:46] Sota Higurashi
    SOTA HIGURASHI, MEI HIGURASHI
     Oh, hello.
[00:47] Mei Higurashi
    SOTA HIGURASHI, MEI HIGURASHI
     Good evening, Mr. Kirin.
[00:49] Mei Higurashi
    Good evening, Mr. Kirin.
[00:50] Osamu Kirin
    How is Miss Towa doing these days?
[00:52] Osamu Kirin
    Ever since she transferred,
    she's been absent.
[00:55] Sota Higurashi
    Yes, well, her neuralgia has subsided,
    but her rheumatism is still...
[01:01] Osamu Kirin
    I do hope she takes care.
[01:03] Moe Higurashi
    I'm back!
[01:05] Moe Higurashi
    Thank you for picking me up.
[01:06] Sota & Mei
    Welcome back.
[01:08] Moe Higurashi
    Oh, Mr. Kirin. Thank you for
    always looking after Towa.
[01:13] Osamu Kirin
    It's no trouble at all.
[01:14] Osamu Kirin
    MOE HIGURASHI
     It's no trouble at all.
[01:14] Mei Higurashi
    MOE HIGURASHI
    Did you bring me a gift?
[01:16] Moe Higurashi
    MOE HIGURASHI
    Yes, of course I did.
[01:16] Moe Higurashi
    Yes, of course I did.
[01:18] Mei Higurashi
    Apples! Sis's favorite!
[01:21] Osamu Kirin & Mei
    – These look tasty, I want to eat it now!
    – It's gotten closer, hasn't it?
[01:24] Osamu Kirin
    I believe it's been 500 years.
[01:26] Sota Higurashi
    What? Where do you mean?
[01:28] Osamu Kirin
    Well, I don't know the particulars,
[01:32] Osamu Kirin
    but it's a comet that is said to
    approach Earth every 470 years.
[01:38] Sota Higurashi
    Oh, I've been hearing people
    talk about it here and there.
[01:42] Sota Higurashi
    But it shouldn't be visible yet
    to the naked eye.
[01:46] Sota Higurashi
    I can't see where it is at all.
[01:48] Osamu Kirin
    I see. So a normal person
    can't see that at all.

[01:56] Kirinmaru
    I see. So it does appear
    in the other era.

SIGN    BEAST KING – KIRINMARU

[02:03] Kirinmaru
    I suppose I cannot
    continue to ignore it.
[03:48] Towa Higurashi
    "The Three Princesses Strike Back"
SIGN    KIRINMARU'S OLDER SISTER – ZERO

[04:01] Zero
    KIRINMARU'S OLDER SISTER – ZERO
     This is who I am after all.
[04:03] Zero
    This is who I am after all.
[04:04] Zero
    That's fine, isn't it, My Lord?
[04:08] Zero
    All that remains are the finishing touches
    for the other half-demon girl.
[04:14] Zero
    Riku.
[04:15] Riku
    I'm here.
[04:17] Zero
    You know, don't you?
[04:19] Zero
    Tell me how the other daughter
    can manifest her true powers.
SIGN    PIRATE WASHED ASHORE – RIKU

[04:24] Riku
    PIRATE WASHED ASHORE – RIKU
    Are you talking about Lady Towa?
[04:27] Zero
    Who else could I be talking about?
[04:29] Riku
    Yes. Lady Towa is the kindest person...
[04:35] Kirinmaru
    I see.
    So that's how her powers are released.

[04:41] Riku
    So I don't believe she has
    any powers hidden within her.
[04:45] Zero
    Oh? Well, if you say so,
    then I'll take your word for it.
[04:50] Riku
    Yes. I'm sorry I
    couldn't be of more use.
[04:54] Zero
    You're really not good at
    telling lies, are you?
[04:59] Zero
    Well, that's fine.
[05:00] Zero
    I'll make some tea.
    You should have some.
SIGN    BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA

[05:11] Jyubei
    BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA
    I believe this is a Blood Blade.
[05:11] Jyubei
    I believe this is a Blood Blade.
[05:14] Setsuna
    Blood Blade?
[05:15] Towa Higurashi
    What's that?
[05:16] Towa Higurashi
    TOWA HIGURASHI, SETSUNA, JYUBEI
     What's that?
SIGN    TOWA HIGURASHI, SETSUNA, JYUBEI

[05:17] Jyubei
    TOWA HIGURASHI, SETSUNA, JYUBEI
     If you truly are
[05:19] Jyubei
    the daughters of Sesshomaru,
[05:21] Jyubei
    then you have inherited
    the blood of a great demon.
[05:25] Jyubei
    This means that
    things such as poison claws
[05:29] Jyubei
    and blades of blood and
    demon energy flow within you,
[05:33] Jyubei
    and at times, your body
     will bring these things forth.
[05:37] Jyubei
    That's what I hear, anyway.
[05:39] Towa Higurashi
    "That's what you hear"? Mr. Jyubei,
    you can be pretty vague sometimes.
[05:43] Jyubei
    Well, of course, and that's because
    I've never seen it with my own eyes.
[05:47] Setsuna
    So one day I will be able...
[05:49] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna?
[05:50] Setsuna
    ...to use this?
[05:52] Jyubei
    Ask your own blood.
[05:59] Moroha
    That was a good night's rest.
[06:00] Setsuna
    You're up.
[06:01] Moroha
    Hey, how're you two doing?
    Oh, good morning, Mr. Jyubei.
[06:06] Moroha
    Got any juicy bounty hunting jobs?
[06:09] Jyubei
    I don't know about juicy, but there are
    some nice people who'd like to hire you.
[06:16] Moroha
    Oh yeah? Who is it?
[06:18] Towa Higurashi & Setsuna
    – It's me...
     – And me.
[06:20] Towa Higurashi
    We'll pay you our share
    of Totetsu's bounty—all of it.
[06:25] Moroha
    You two want to hire me?
[06:27] Moroha
    What led you to this turn of events?
[06:29] Takechiyo
    Hey!
[06:30] Takechiyo
    This is what you wanted, right?
SIGN    MASTER OF HIRAIKOTSU – HISUI

[06:32] Hisui
    MASTER OF HIRAIKOTSU – HISUI
     Azusa no Yumihari. Here.
SIGN    TAKECHIYO

[06:36] Hisui
    TAKECHIYO
     It's a tsuchigumo web.
SIGN    TAKECHIYO

[06:38] Towa Higurashi
    Yeah, this really reeks of
    that woman's smell.
[06:42] Setsuna
    Now we'll know where to find her.
[06:45] Moroha
    That woman... Do you mean...
[06:47] Setsuna
    Once dawn breaks,
    we're going to go slay Zero.
[06:52] Setsuna
    It's time to fully repay my debt to her.
[06:58] Moroha
    All right! Let's get to it!
[07:08] Kirinmaru
    It's been a while, your Ladyship.
[07:12] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Kirinmaru, it has been a while.
    Are you well?
[07:16] Kirinmaru
    Yes, I am. And it's wonderful to see
    your Ladyship is beautiful as always.
SIGN    SESSHOMARU'S MOTHER

[07:23] Sesshomaru's Mother
    SESSHOMARU'S MOTHER
     No need for flattery.
[07:25] Sesshomaru's Mother
    And please,
    do stop calling me by that name.
[07:28] Sesshomaru's Mother
    That era has long since passed.
[07:31] Kirinmaru
    It seems my sister has been
    causing you some trouble.
[07:34] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Zero has not changed, has she?
[07:37] Sesshomaru's Mother
    She seems to be meddling in
    the affairs of Sesshomaru's daughters,
[07:41] Sesshomaru's Mother
    but I struggle to see the point.
[07:44] Kirinmaru
    I must agree.
[07:45] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Well, she can do what she wants.
[07:49] Sesshomaru's Mother
    I care not what happens to those girls.
[07:52] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Besides, a half-demon's true worth
    comes from survival.
[07:56] Kirinmaru
    I am glad to hear that.
[07:58] Kirinmaru
    Since I am being targeted by them,
[08:01] Kirinmaru
    I'm afraid I simply cannot
    let them go unharmed.
[08:05] Kirinmaru
    By the way...
[08:07] Kirinmaru
    has the Windmill of Time moved at all?
[08:10] Sesshomaru's Mother
    It has not. I haven't even seen Akuru
    these past several years.
[08:17] Kirinmaru
    Sesshomaru is having some difficulty
    finding Akuru's pinwheel.
[08:24] Sesshomaru's Mother
    I'm sure that is just Sesshomaru's
    way of passing time.
[08:28] Kirinmaru
    I think Sesshomaru's true intention
    is to take care of his daughters.
[08:33] Sesshomaru's Mother
    That cannot be possible.
    That would almost make him seem human.
[08:39] Kirinmaru
    That is true...
[08:50] Takechiyo
    See you later.
[08:51] Takechiyo
    And good luck.
[09:02] Zero
    I've faced many different people
     throughout the years,
[09:06] Zero
    but you are beyond understanding.
[09:09] Zero
    What an odd girl you are, truly.
[09:11] Towa Higurashi
    I can take that as a complement, right?
[09:15] Zero
    Of course.
    Show me your hidden demon powers.
[09:19] Zero
    I'd like to see your prowess for myself!
[09:22] Setsuna
    I knew it. I wasn't wrong when I thought
    you smelled like Kirinmaru.
[09:27] Riku
    Would you honor me with a fight?
[09:30] Setsuna
    Are you fine with me?
     Towa's the one you really want, right?
[09:34] Riku
    You got me right where it hurts!
[09:39] Setsuna
    Cyclone Burst!
[09:44] Setsuna
    Scourge of Swallows!
[10:05] Moroha
    Crimson Dragon Wave!
[10:09] Moroha
    Eat this!
[10:19] Zero
    Attempting revenge so soon?
    I like you, Half-Demon Princesses!
[10:25] Zero
    Azusa no Yumihari!
[10:28] Moroha
    I already know how your attack works.
[10:30] Moroha
    I have your life now! Prepare yourself!
[10:34] Zero
    Didn't I tell you that your
    Crimson Dragon does not work on me?
[10:38] Zero
    Crimson Dragons favor white clouds!
[10:41] Moroha
    Oh, I know.
[10:44] Moroha
    I borrowed this "auto-open"
    umbrella from Towa!
[10:47] Zero
    Well, then.
[10:51] Moroha
    This is what I was really waiting for!
[10:55] Moroha
    Crimson Backlash Wave!
[10:58] Zero
    W-What?
[11:14] Moroha
    What is that?
[11:15] Myoga
    Those are the Master's ashes.
[11:18] Moroha
    You were here, Grandpa Myoga?
SIGN    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA

[11:20] Myoga
    FLEA DEMON – MYOGA
     What are you talking about?
[11:23] Myoga
    This Myoga has always been
    by your side, Lady Moroha!
[11:26] Moroha
    Whatever you say.
[11:28] Moroha
    Wait, by "Master," do you mean
    grandpa? The Great Dog-Demon?
[11:32] Myoga
    Yes, this is where
    the Great Dog-Demon perished.
[11:36] Myoga
    So it wouldn't be strange if Master's
    demon powers had seeped into the dirt.
[11:43] Myoga
    Lady Moroha! The Backlash Wave
    was originally Tessaiga's technique.
[11:47] Myoga
    It was something developed by Master.
[11:50] Myoga
    It's hardly surprising if his ashes
[11:52] Myoga
    end up diffusing the
    reversed flow of demon energy.
[11:57] Moroha
    Then what am I supposed to do...
    Nevermind!
[12:00] Moroha
    I guess I just gotta go with the flow!
[12:09] Riku
    Looks like we've been surrounded.
[12:12] Zero
    At least you should be able to get away.
[12:15] Riku
    I would never do
    such a heartless thing, Madam.
[12:19] Towa Higurashi
    Madam? Then, the one
    who you said looked after you is...
[12:24] Riku
    It's her, yes.
[12:27] Moroha
    That's why you shouldn't have
    given him the Silver Pearl.
[12:30] Setsuna
    So we can assume that both of you
    are in league with Kirinmaru?
[12:34] Riku
    Well, I can neither confirm nor deny that.
[12:37] Myoga
    Lady Moroha!
[12:38] Myoga
    It's out of the question to battle at
    the place where Master passed away!
[12:43] Myoga
    You should retreat for now.
[12:46] Moroha
    So I get that it's not good to fight here.
    But you know...
[12:50] Myoga
    What is it?
[12:52] Moroha
    That doesn't matter right now!
[12:54] Moroha
    Why back down
    from a fight we could win?
[12:57] Myoga
    W-What a disrespectful granddaughter
    you are to your grandfather!
[13:00] Myoga
    Why did I bother?
[13:02] Moroha
    There he goes.
[13:04] Setsuna
    Why don't you return the Silver Pearl
    that you took from Towa?
[13:09] Zero
    Go ahead Riku, give it back.
[13:11] Riku
    You have to be joking.
[13:14] Riku
    I went through so much trouble
    to gather all the Rainbow Pearls here.
[13:17] Zero
    What?
[13:28] Zero
    You've gathered all the Pearls?
    It wasn't just the Silver Pearl you stole?
[13:34] Riku
    Nope. I have five here on me,
[13:38] Riku
    plus the Gold in Setsuna's right eye
    and the Red in Moroha's rouge.
[13:44] Zero
    How humiliating.
[13:45] Zero
    To think all my tears return to me
    at the place where he died...
[13:52] Zero
    This must be some kind of fate as well.
[13:55] Riku
    I was meaning to hand them to you
    after I had them all, but...
[14:00] Zero
    How dare you!
[14:02] Zero
    How dare you bring back
    these Pearls to me.
[14:06] Zero
    I will show you who
    the true owner of these Pearls are!
[14:27] Towa Higurashi
    Setsuna!
[14:28] Towa Higurashi
    The Blood Blade started acting up
    as soon as the Gold Pearl flew out!

[14:35] Zero
    Don't get so full of yourself!
[14:39] Setsuna
    Stop it!
SIGN    SESSHOMARU'S VASSAL – JAKEN

    SESSHOMARU'S VASSAL – JAKEN
     Lord Sesshomaru,
[15:04] Jaken
    SESSHOMARU'S VASSAL – JAKEN
     that pinwheel just now...
[15:05] Jaken
    that pinwheel just now...
[15:06] Sesshomaru
    TOWA AND SETSUNA'S FATHER –
    It was Akuru.
[15:07] Sesshomaru
    SESSHOMARU
    There's no mistake.
[15:09] Sesshomaru
    There's no mistake.
[15:11] Jaken
    W-Will you not give chase?
[15:17] Jaken
    Lord Sesshomaru.
[15:30] Kirinmaru
    The Windmill of Time has moved.
SIGN    TOWA AND SETSUNA'S MOTHER – RIN

[15:38] Riku
    Madam. Madam!
[15:41] Riku
    Please hang in there, Madam!
[15:47] Jaken
    Rin?
[15:51] Sesshomaru
    Zero is dying. Who struck her?
[16:03] Zero
    So this is the Underworld. I see.
[16:10] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Oh, Zero.
[16:11] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Planning to pass
    without even a greeting?
[16:14] Sesshomaru's Mother
    We were not that close, I suppose.
[16:17] Sesshomaru's Mother
    So age has finally gotten to you?
    How auspicious.
[16:20] Zero
    No, I was killed by Sesshomaru's daughter.
[16:26] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Oh, that is hilarious.
[16:28] Zero
    I didn't say a joke.
[16:30] Sesshomaru's Mother
    You got so wound up over those girls.
[16:34] Sesshomaru's Mother
    That's what meddling gets you.
[16:36] Zero
    You may be right.
[16:39] Zero
    Regardless, I'm feeling much better now.
[16:42] Zero
    And that's because Sesshomaru
    must be feeling downright miserable.
[16:48] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Is that so?
[16:50] Zero
    The human who is Sesshomaru's
    wife is still connected to me.
[16:56] Zero
    If I die, then she dies as well.
[17:01] Zero
    This is so delightful.
[17:03] Zero
    I'm sure she will soon pass this way.
[17:10] Zero
    Say, when Izayoi passed through here
    in the past, how did you feel?
[17:17] Zero
    Didn't you feel just as relieved
    as I am now?
[17:22] Zero
    Didn't your heart just dance?
[17:26] Zero
    After all, Izayoi is the woman
    who led him to his death.

[17:29] Zero
    You couldn't help but feel disdain.
[17:31] Sesshomaru's Mother
    How boorish.
[17:32] Zero
    These are my last moments.
[17:35] Zero
    Can't you spare me your
    falsehoods at the very least?
[17:39] Zero
    An offering to the woman who wasn't
    chosen by the Great Dog-Demon.
[17:46] Sesshomaru's Mother
    I have no interest in humans,
    and I have no words to offer you.
[17:53] Zero
    I see.
[17:56] Sesshomaru's Mother
    I have no offering, but Zero,
    what was it that you wanted to do?
[18:02] Zero
    I just wanted to protect Kirinmaru
    from humans and half-demons.
[18:08] Sesshomaru's Mother
    And you're telling me to
    spare you falsehoods!
[18:11] Zero
    You still talk like you can see through
    everything. I don't like you after all.
[18:16] Sesshomaru's Mother
    I shall take that as a compliment.
[18:19] Zero
    I hate humans and half-demons.
[18:23] Zero
    Especially those who did nothing more
    than inherit the Great Dog-Demon's blood.
[18:28] Sesshomaru's Mother
    So it was jealousy!
    How incredibly human of you.
[18:33] Zero
    A human?
[18:36] Zero
    How dare you!
[18:37] Riku
    Madam!
[18:51] Moroha
    You're...
[18:52] Towa Higurashi
    Sesshomaru.
[18:56] Sesshomaru
    Why didn't you use your own blade?
[19:00] Setsuna
    I cut her with this.
    Is this not my own blade?
[19:23] Zero
    What part of me is human-like?
[19:26] Sesshomaru's Mother
    Women who burn from love...
    how pitiful.
[19:32] Towa Higurashi
    Did he just cut something?
[19:41] Moroha
    She came back to life?
[19:46] Jaken
    That was a close one, Rin.
[19:49] Setsuna
    But why? How did she come back to life?
[19:52] Moroha
    It's the Tenseiga!
    I've heard rumors about it.
[19:55] Towa Higurashi
    Tenseiga?
[19:57] Moroha
    I don't know the details,
[19:59] Moroha
    but Sesshomaru's Tenseiga is a sword
    that saves the lives of the weak.
[20:06] Towa Higurashi
    So that's why that woman
    came back to life.
[20:08] Zero
    Damn it, it was you!
[20:10] Zero
    Sesshomaru!
[20:12] Zero
    Don't tell me you used the Tenseiga!
[20:17] Zero
    I won't forgive you.
    I won't forgive you, Sesshomaru.
[20:21] Zero
    Of all things, how could you have used
    his fang to bring me back to life?
[20:28] Sesshomaru
    I knew of no other method.
[20:32] Riku
    Madam, please calm down.
[20:37] Towa Higurashi
    Living in this world is hard.
[20:40] Towa Higurashi
    If you don't follow the set rules,
    you're treated as an outcast.

[20:45] Towa Higurashi
    I was so tired of it when I
    was in the other world.

[20:50] Zero
    I won't forgive you!
[20:52] Towa Higurashi
    What Zero is feeling now
