[00:01] ---
    Towa Higurashi and Demon Slayer Setsuna.
[00:03] ---
    Between us half-demon twins,
[00:05] ---
    two different worlds
    exist at the same time.
[00:08] ---
    Human and demon.
[00:09] ---
    Light and shadow.
[00:10] ---
    Feudal Era and present day.
[00:13] ---
    Peacefulness and war.
[00:14] ---
    Joy and sorrow.
[00:16] ---
    Dreams and reality.
[00:18] ---
    One moment and eternity.
[00:20] ---
    And finally, love and hate.
[00:23] ---
    A Feudal Fairytale,
    Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.
[00:27] ---
    We'll keep moving forward
    through the hurdles of destiny.
[00:52] ---
    TOWA AND SETSUNA'S MOTHER — RIN
[01:02] ---
    So this is Mount Musubi.
[01:05] ---
    It's teeming with enormous amounts
    of demon energy.
[01:08] ---
    MOROHA
[01:08] ---
    Huh?
[01:09] ---
    What is this?
[01:11] ---
    It's not just demon energy.
[01:28] ---
    Stop it.
[01:30] ---
    Please stop.
[01:53] ---
    Breaking your horn wasn't enough?
[02:02] ---
    BEAST KING — KIRINMARU
[02:08] ---
    RULER OF THE WESTERN PROVINCE —
    GREAT DOG-DEMON
[02:12] ---
    Why won't you finish me?
[02:15] ---
    A child is watching. Is she your child?
[02:21] ---
    Yes.
[02:22] ---
    Don't bring a child to the battlefield.
[04:16] ---
    "The Barrier at Mount Musubi"
[04:20] ---
    TOWA AND SETSUNA'S FATHER — SESSHOMARU
[04:23] ---
    It appears Towa and the others
    went to Mount Musubi.
[04:26] ---
    JAKEN
[04:27] ---
    Pardon? They went
    to Mount Musubi?
[04:30] ---
    As I recall, that mountain is where...
[04:32] ---
    Ah, yes. It's the mountain
    where Rion is shut in a barrier.
[04:42] ---
    Rion...
[04:44] ---
    This must be the entrance.
[04:46] ---
    SETSUNA
    TOWA
[04:46] ---
    All right, let's go.
[04:48] ---
    Moroha! This is no ordinary barrier.
[04:51] ---
    I know. The barrier here is made up
    of incredibly evil demon power.
[04:56] ---
    Think we can get past it?
[04:58] ---
    This is just a hunch, but...
[05:00] ---
    the center of Mount Musubi
    is filled with sacred power.
[05:05] ---
    Then we have to go.
[05:07] ---
    Yeah.
[05:38] ---
    Great Dog-Demon...
[05:40] ---
    take a look at this scar.
[05:43] ---
    Sesshomaru's daughters did this to me.
[05:47] ---
    I'd expect no less from those
    who have inherited your blood.
[05:51] ---
    I haven't suffered this many injuries
    since the time I fought you.
[05:56] ---
    It's been 600 years since then.
[05:59] ---
    Of course, nothing could compare
    with that humiliation.
[06:19] ---
    KIRINMARU'S OLDER SISTER — ZERO
[06:24] ---
    I'm glad you made it back alive.
[06:28] ---
    Sister!
[06:29] ---
    Just who is that Great Dog-Demon?
[06:34] ---
    I've spanned the globe,
[06:37] ---
    but not once
    have I ever been defeated!
[06:41] ---
    True.
[06:42] ---
    I would never have thought there was
    one so powerful in this island nation.
[06:49] ---
    KIRINMARU'S DAUGHTER — RION
[06:49] ---
    Oh, my.
[06:51] ---
    There, there.
    You must've been so scared.
[06:56] ---
    Today is a day I will never forget!
[06:59] ---
    Every time I see this horn,
[07:01] ---
    the seething anger within me
    will be etched into my heart!
[07:04] ---
    This anger is not hatred toward him...
[07:08] ---
    but to reprimand my own inexperience!
[07:10] ---
    I was defeated tonight,
    because I neglected my training.
[07:16] ---
    From this day on,
    each time I see you,
[07:18] ---
    I will recall
    this humiliation
[07:19] ---
    KIRINMARU'S INCARNATION — RIKU
[07:20] ---
    and train myself further!
[07:22] ---
    Is that clear?
[07:24] ---
    I yearn for the day
    when I can discard this form.
[07:30] ---
    Kirinmaru, have you forgotten
    what the Great Dog-Demon said to you?
[07:34] ---
    You really should stop taking Rion
    out with you all the time.
[07:37] ---
    I only want to show her this vast world
    and have her see my battles.
[07:43] ---
    No matter how powerful the enemy is,
[07:45] ---
    there is no problem at all
    if I keep her protected.
[07:48] ---
    But tonight, you were defeated.
[07:51] ---
    You may be the strongest,
[07:53] ---
    but you are not invincible.
[07:55] ---
    Your words hurt my ears, Sister!
[07:59] ---
    If you have anything further to say,
    say it to Riku here!
[08:03] ---
    I am Riku.
[08:05] ---
    Then you can start
    by disposing of this arm for me.
[08:10] ---
    These bugs that seek demon energy
    are such a nuisance.
[08:14] ---
    Where should I dispose of it?
[08:32] ---
    I never imagined
    that I'd be betrayed by Riku,
[08:36] ---
    a discarded portion of myself.
[08:39] ---
    Now then, I must get some sleep.
[08:45] ---
    I can see you again in my dreams.
[08:49] ---
    Right... Rion?
[08:54] ---
    Huh?
[08:56] ---
    Where did those two go?
[08:59] ---
    Oh, well.
[09:01] ---
    They're probably somewhere
    wasting their time again.
[09:12] ---
    Huh?
[09:13] ---
    That tree, it must be
    a demon spirit tree!
[09:17] ---
    I'm guessing these roots
    become the Kyuyokon root.
[09:22] ---
    She's really pretty, almost like a spirit.
[09:28] ---
    These ears, are they real?
[09:32] ---
    I can't touch her?
[09:33] ---
    She's not a spirit. Is she like a ghost?
[09:40] ---
    Setsuna and Moroha aren't with me.
[09:43] ---
    Were they blown away by the barrier?
[09:48] ---
    Where could they have gone?
[09:51] ---
    To those who would enter Mount Musubi...
[09:54] ---
    Who's there?
[09:56] ---
    That voice, it sounds familiar.
[09:59] ---
    Answer this question.
[10:02] ---
    Is there something you wish to protect?
[10:06] ---
    Something to protect?
[10:08] ---
    Other than Setsuna,
    there's nothing I want to protect—
[10:11] ---
    And answer this one other question.
[10:14] ---
    Is there something
    you're willing to let go of?
[10:19] ---
    If you do not provide the correct answers
[10:22] ---
    then you will never be able to leave
    the barrier at Mount Musubi.
[10:28] ---
    What is this place?
[10:30] ---
    What?
[10:35] ---
    Hey, is that...
[10:37] ---
    a Dream Butterfly?
[10:42] ---
    Could it be...
[10:44] ---
    this child is having her dreams
    taken away as well?
[10:50] ---
    Oh! Good evening.
[10:53] ---
    Or should I say, "Good morning"?
[10:56] ---
    Thank you for coming.
[10:59] ---
    My name is Rion.
[11:02] ---
    And you are?
[11:04] ---
    The name's Moroha.
[11:05] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[11:07] ---
    Miss Moroha.
[11:09] ---
    Then are you the one who will take me
    away from this place, Miss Moroha?
[11:14] ---
    Take you away?
[11:16] ---
    Okay, sure.
[11:17] ---
    If you want to leave,
    shall we leave together?
[11:22] ---
    You possess demon powers,
    but also spirit powers as well.
[11:26] ---
    Huh?
[11:27] ---
    Without strong spirit powers,
[11:30] ---
    you would not be able to penetrate
    the barrier here at Mount Musubi.
[11:35] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[11:36] ---
    What about Towa and Setsuna,
    who don't possess spirit powers?
[11:40] ---
    Did you come with others?
[11:42] ---
    Yeah.
[11:43] ---
    Do you know where they are?
[11:47] ---
    Do you mean these two?
[11:52] ---
    Towa! Setsuna!
[11:55] ---
    They are within Mount Musubi's barrier.
[11:59] ---
    Left as they are, these two may never
    be able to leave this place.
[12:04] ---
    Oh, no! Can't you do something about it?
[12:08] ---
    Do you wish to go save them?
[12:10] ---
    Of course!
[12:11] ---
    They're my precious friends!
[12:18] ---
    This isn't real.
[12:20] ---
    It's an illusion created by the barrier.
[12:25] ---
    And I can't use my demon power either.
[12:33] ---
    This is...
[12:38] ---
    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
    YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[12:42] ---
    A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE —
    YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON
[12:54] ---
    So if I enter this, it'll take me
    to where they're being kept, right?
[12:58] ---
    Yes, in theory.
[12:59] ---
    But the barrier may ask you to answer
[13:01] ---
    the things you wish to protect and
    the things you're willing to let go of.
[13:06] ---
    What kind of a Zen riddle is that?
[13:08] ---
    Inside the Kyuyokon lies a corridor.
[13:10] ---
    It lets you pass through
    the rift between past and future,
[13:12] ---
    as well as the border
    between this world and the next.
[13:16] ---
    You won't be able to use any
    of your demon powers, so be careful.
[13:20] ---
    What about spirit powers?
[13:22] ---
    Can I use spirit powers?
[13:30] ---
    Please be careful.
[13:41] ---
    Damn it!
[13:43] ---
    I'm counting on you, Sacred Arrow!
[13:49] ---
    Come on! Why am I not stopping?
[13:53] ---
    What the...
[13:55] ---
    What is that giant skeleton?
[13:57] ---
    INUYASHA
[13:59] ---
    What is it,
    Inuyasha?
[14:01] ---
    KAGOME
[14:01] ---
    The Tessaiga...
[14:03] ---
    My dad's fang is trying
    to tell me something.
[14:09] ---
    Up there!
[14:14] ---
    What's going on?
[14:15] ---
    Why are my Sacred Arrows
    getting restless all of a sudden?
[14:19] ---
    Wait!
[14:21] ---
    Was that...
[14:23] ---
    I saw them in the photo
    Papa Sota showed me.
[14:26] ---
    Mom and Dad?
[14:30] ---
    It's really them!
[14:31] ---
    It's Mom and Dad!
[14:34] ---
    That was Moroha, wasn't it?
[14:35] ---
    It was really her!
[14:37] ---
    Yeah.
[14:38] ---
    Look how big she has grown.
[14:45] ---
    I should still be
    in the Feudal Era right now.
[14:50] ---
    The present has been recreated
    so faithfully.
[14:54] ---
    Did they look into my memories?
[15:00] ---
    It's the school I attended.
[15:03] ---
    SAINT GABRIEL ACADEMY
[15:04] ---
    I had just transferred, so I only
    have vague memories, but the details...
[15:10] ---
    Still don't have an answer?
[15:14] ---
    This world is the place you must protect.
[15:17] ---
    It is also the place you must let go of.
[15:19] ---
    That voice...
[15:21] ---
    it sounds like Mr. Kirin,
    my homeroom teacher.
[15:27] ---
    It's been a while, Half-Demon Princess.
[15:31] ---
    The Spirit of the Tree of Ages?
[15:33] ---
    You're in the rift between life,
    death, and space-time.
[15:36] ---
    How did you get here?
[15:40] ---
    I see.
[15:41] ---
    You've acquired the Yukari no Tachikiri.
[15:44] ---
    That would explain
    how you were able to get here.
[16:15] ---
    That's a wonderful phrase.
[16:15] ---
    MOE HIGURASHI
[16:18] ---
    Where did you learn it?
[16:21] ---
    I don't know.
[16:22] ---
    More like my body seems to remember it.
[16:26] ---
    Did I learn it from this woman?
[16:30] ---
    How does it feel
    to meet your mother again?
[16:33] ---
    Mother?
[16:35] ---
    Did you say my mother?
[16:36] ---
    If she is, why is she so young?
[16:39] ---
    It's my understanding
    that she was 18 when she was sealed in.
[16:44] ---
    Sealed in?
[16:46] ---
    Your mother Rin
    has not aged for 14 years.
[16:52] ---
    Tree of Ages!
    Is there a way to undo the seal?
[16:57] ---
    Do you wish to save her?
[17:01] ---
    My heart aches...
[17:04] ---
    Do you feel pity for her?
[17:06] ---
    Does it make you feel
    a desire to protect her?
[17:16] ---
    A desire to protect...
[17:20] ---
    Is she the person I wish to protect?
[17:26] ---
    The Higurashi Shrine...
[17:29] ---
    The shrine grounds...
[17:31] ---
    I've known this place since I was a child.
[17:38] ---
    Huh?
[17:39] ---
    I'm not sad. So why am I crying?
[17:48] ---
    Ow!
[17:50] ---
    Moroha?
[17:51] ---
    Towa!
[17:52] ---
    Isn't Setsuna with you?
[17:55] ---
    I looked all over,
    but I couldn't find her anywhere.
[17:57] ---
    If she dies this time, we can't—
[18:01] ---
    Pull yourself together!
    This is an illusion!
[18:04] ---
    Watch!
[18:05] ---
    Don't let the barrier play with your mind!
[18:23] ---
    Setsuna.
[18:25] ---
    We're inside the Tree of Ages, aren't we?
[18:27] ---
    Yes.
[18:29] ---
    This woman...
[18:31] ---
    I've seen her before.
[18:32] ---
    Towa, this is our mother, Rin.
[18:37] ---
    My mom?
[18:39] ---
    I see.
[18:41] ---
    The barrier at Mount Musubi sent you here.
[18:46] ---
    Tree of Ages?
[18:47] ---
    Tell me something!
[18:49] ---
    I saw my mom and dad inside the barrier.
[18:53] ---
    What was that place?
[18:55] ---
    The border of this world
    and the afterlife.
[18:59] ---
    The afterlife?
[19:01] ---
    Tree of Ages, you know, don't you?
[19:04] ---
    Tell me what I must do
    to save my mother.
[19:07] ---
    You can save her
    by using the Yukari no Tachikiri
[19:10] ---
    to sever the fate she shares with Zero.
[19:14] ---
    The Yukari no Tachikiri?
[19:16] ---
    Then I will save my mother!
[19:20] ---
    It seems you have your answers.
[19:22] ---
    Kirinmaru?
[19:24] ---
    Very well, then.
[19:26] ---
    I will allow the three of you
    to enter Mount Musubi.
[19:31] ---
    Keep my daughter Rion company.
[19:36] ---
    "Your daughter Rion"?
[19:38] ---
    That Rion?
[19:39] ---
    Kirinmaru's daughter is at Mount Musubi?
[19:43] ---
    You don't care
    if we acquire the Kyuyokon root?
[19:47] ---
    Rion...
[19:49] ---
    you have visitors.
[19:58] ---
    It seems you've exited the barrier.
[20:00] ---
    Are both of you okay?
[20:02] ---
    Seems we were all having the same dream.
[20:06] ---
    Dream?
[20:07] ---
    Was that a dream?
[20:09] ---
    No, it was not a dream.
[20:12] ---
    Who are you?
[20:14] ---
    I am Kirinmaru's daughter.
    My name is Rion.
[20:18] ---
    That's right!
[20:19] ---
    Is what we just heard really true?
    Seriously?
[20:22] ---
    There was no lie or deception.
[20:25] ---
    You're Kirinmaru's daughter?
[20:28] ---
    The Kyuyokon root is right here.
[20:32] ---
    Please take it.
[20:40] ---
    Why, if it isn't Mr. Kirin.
[20:43] ---
    If this is about Towa, then please
[20:44] ---
    see Sota over
    at his apartment.
[20:44] ---
    GRAMMY
    OSAMU KIRIN
[20:46] ---
    No, I'm actually
    here today
[20:49] ---
    to pay my respects
    to the local shrine.
[20:57] ---
    GRANDPA
[20:57] ---
    Nice of you to come.
[21:00] ---
    Head Priest.
[21:03] ---
    Do you have any of those Shikon Jewel
    keychain amulets you used to sell here?
[21:09] ---
    Shikon Jewel?
[21:11] ---
    Did we have such a thing?
[21:14] ---
    I see. I must've heard wrong.
[21:21] ---
    Just as I thought.
[21:22] ---
    Things are definitely starting to change.
[21:25] ---
    The Bone Eater's Well that I came through
    before is no longer here either.
[21:37] ---
    There's no doubt about it.
[21:39] ---
    I seem to have become
    an anomaly in this world.
[21:43] ---
    Well, then...
[21:45] ---
    what should I do about it?
[21:49] ---
    Please tell me...
[21:52] ---
    Tree of Ages.
[23:30] ---
    NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
[23:32] ---
    Kirinmaru's selfishness
    has been unbearable to me.
[23:36] ---
    Please defeat my father
    and protect this world that I love.
[23:42] ---
    I believe you are
    worthy of wielding
[23:44] ---
    this Kyuyokon root
    and the Star-Slicer Flute.
[23:47] ---
    Next time on Yashahime:
    Princess Half-Demon:
[23:49] ---
    "The Girl Named Rion"
[23:51] ---
    It must have been
    so lonely and hard for you.
