00:02.720 --> 00:10.220
This land, situated in a cold region in the northernmost part of Japan, formerly known as the country of Ezo,
00:10.230 --> 00:20.410
still has much primitive wildlife due to its complex geography and harsh natural environment that are unsuitable for living in.
00:32.460 --> 00:41.760
All living things in the Ezo region participate in a merciless battle of life and death every day.
00:49.850 --> 00:52.270
Cold cold cold cold!
00:52.270 --> 00:54.690
I'll die I'll die! I'm gonna die!
00:55.530 --> 01:00.800
This particular region, known even in Ezo to have particularly harsh snowstorms,{And it was in a region which even in Ezo is known to have especially harsh snowstorms}
01:00.800 --> 01:05.350
and which is also designated a first class disaster area — Mount Odori,{and is designated a first class disaster region, the region of absolute freezing - Odoriyama,}
01:05.350 --> 01:11.620
is where the strategian Togame and the 7th generation Kyotouryuu head Yasuri Shichika find themselves climbing for their lives.{which Strategian Togame and 7th head of Kyotouryuu Yasuri Shichika are climbing for their dear lives.}
01:11.970 --> 01:15.910
Dammit, piling up on my head's like this...
01:15.910 --> 01:16.920
Annoying snow!
01:16.920 --> 01:18.510
Ow, ouch!
01:18.510 --> 01:21.080
It's your own fault for not dodging!
01:21.080 --> 01:22.840
You say that...
01:23.300 --> 01:25.040
But this really is amazing.
01:25.040 --> 01:27.210
So this is what they call Ezo snow?
01:27.210 --> 01:30.650
The snow is quite something, but what's really amazing is the wind.
01:30.650 --> 01:33.040
The wind is so strong that snow only builds up to knee height.
01:33.040 --> 01:35.190
It's like a constant avalanche.
01:35.190 --> 01:36.400
Don't describe it like that!
01:36.820 --> 01:39.030
You'll make me feel even colder!
01:39.030 --> 01:42.950
We aren't even halfway up the mountain, you know.
01:42.950 --> 01:46.440
I can't even imagine what it's going to be like at the peak.
01:46.440 --> 01:48.270
And they live up there, right?
01:48.270 --> 01:50.050
That "Itezora" clan, was it?
01:50.050 --> 01:52.280
What kind of people are they anyway, Togame?
01:52.940 --> 01:56.370
They probably look like snowmen.
01:56.370 --> 02:00.010
Or they could be covered in thick fur and look like the abominable snowman.
02:00.010 --> 02:03.090
Well, no doubt they're resistant to the cold, anyway.
02:03.090 --> 02:05.800
"No doubt"... you don't actually know?
02:05.800 --> 02:07.400
Nope. Not at all.
02:07.400 --> 02:10.720
And while we're on the topic, I haven't heard a single thing about Soutou Kanazuchi, either.
02:10.730 --> 02:15.650
Soutou Kanazuchi
02:10.730 --> 02:15.650
Hammer,
02:10.730 --> 02:15.650
The Pair
02:11.580 --> 02:15.650
Soutou is written "pair of swords", so it could be a set of two swords.
02:17.180 --> 02:20.610
I do know that the Itezora clan's ancestors were apparently the giants of Izumo.
02:21.080 --> 02:23.190
Well that's useful to know...
02:23.190 --> 02:23.820
...not.
02:23.820 --> 02:28.450
Togame, how are you going to make any plans with such little information?
02:28.450 --> 02:31.080
Does "Strategian" mean "someone who doesn't make plans"?
02:31.080 --> 02:33.660
Moron! I would never make plans!
02:33.660 --> 02:35.120
What I come up with are schemes!
02:35.120 --> 02:38.170
By "schemes", do you mean "guessing as you go along"?
02:38.320 --> 02:39.760
Wh-What!
02:39.760 --> 02:40.340
Why you!
02:40.340 --> 02:42.350
Ch-Cherirurero!
02:42.350 --> 02:45.020
I see you get your tongue in a twist when it's cold.
02:45.020 --> 02:47.930
If you've got the time to waste talking, hurry up and climb!
02:47.930 --> 02:51.100
If you don't hurry up, I'm going to turn into a snowman!
02:51.430 --> 03:05.960
onore o harahara hana ni tatoete chirinuru o
02:51.430 --> 03:05.960
己をはらはら花に例えて 散りぬるを…
02:51.430 --> 03:05.960
Just like the flowers, I'll scatter away...
03:07.530 --> 03:12.720
tsumi aguneta guren no tama o
03:07.530 --> 03:12.720
摘みあぐねた紅蓮の霊を
03:07.530 --> 03:12.720
My crimson heart was furious,
03:13.340 --> 03:18.350
sarau ano hi areshi mune yori
03:13.340 --> 03:18.350
さらう彼の日 荒れし胸より
03:13.340 --> 03:18.350
the day it was plucked dry and snatched away
03:19.180 --> 03:24.710
osoruru mama mikoto wa habataite
03:19.180 --> 03:24.710
恐るるまま命は羽搏いて
03:19.180 --> 03:24.710
Even with my frightened heart,
03:24.710 --> 03:30.340
yagate yagate ten no hate ni
03:24.710 --> 03:30.340
やがて やがて 天の果てに
03:24.710 --> 03:30.340
my life takes flight, to the end of the sky
03:30.340 --> 03:36.190
akaku somare surechigai kira no yume o
03:30.340 --> 03:36.190
朱く染まれ すれ違い綺羅の夢を
03:30.340 --> 03:36.190
The dyed red, glittering dream we encountered by chance,
03:36.190 --> 03:44.720
ataeta mou machiwabite meiya ni samayoi
03:36.190 --> 03:44.720
与えたもう 待ち侘びて冥夜にさまよい
03:36.190 --> 03:44.720
I offer to you, waiting around, lost in the dark night
03:44.720 --> 03:47.890
tomoni moe youka
03:44.720 --> 03:47.890
共に燃えようか
03:44.720 --> 03:47.890
Shall we blaze away together?
03:48.140 --> 03:53.700
omoi ga harahara mau yue ni
03:48.140 --> 03:53.700
想いがはらはら舞う故に
03:48.140 --> 03:53.700
With our fluttering thoughts dancing along,
03:53.700 --> 03:59.530
watashi wa mayoi o kinjite
03:53.700 --> 03:59.530
私は迷いを禁じて
03:53.700 --> 03:59.530
I will no longer have any doubts
03:59.530 --> 04:05.320
mugen no kairou yori umareta
03:59.530 --> 04:05.320
無限の回廊より生まれた
03:59.530 --> 04:05.320
I'm heading towards the sky, to paint...
04:05.320 --> 04:13.090
kizuna o sara naru sora e egaite
04:05.320 --> 04:13.090
絆を更なる空へ描いて
04:05.320 --> 04:13.090
our bonds born from the endless corridor
04:13.090 --> 04:20.280
hana no chiranu uchi ni
04:13.090 --> 04:20.280
花の散らぬうちに
04:13.090 --> 04:20.280
As long as the flowers are still blooming
04:14.560 --> 04:21.070
Katana-
04:14.560 --> 04:21.070
Katana-
04:14.560 --> 04:21.070
gatari
04:21.070 --> 04:26.990
Soutou
04:21.070 --> 04:26.990
Kanazuchi
04:28.770 --> 04:30.320
Owari
04:30.520 --> 04:32.910
Owari
castle
grounds
04:31.510 --> 04:32.910
Though I must say,
04:31.560 --> 04:32.910
Princess
Hitei's
04:31.560 --> 04:32.910
palace
04:33.220 --> 04:37.080
that woman really is impossible to read, going straight from Satsuma to Ezo like that...
04:37.800 --> 04:41.980
She must have heard about my return to power by now.
04:41.980 --> 04:43.880
Is this a display of confidence on her part?
04:43.880 --> 04:47.020
What do you think, Emon Zaemon?
04:47.020 --> 04:48.720
I really couldn't say.
04:48.720 --> 04:50.090
Boring!
04:50.470 --> 04:52.750
What a boring man you are.
04:52.750 --> 04:56.230
Have you forgotten who went to the effort of putting a mask over that face of yours,
04:56.230 --> 04:59.960
darker than darkness itself, and bothered to write "unconcealed" on it? {Norg: I have a feeling that last EP I suggested it was Mitomezu... (misread the kanji . _. ) it's Shinobazu}{shorten this line lol}
04:59.960 --> 05:01.190
That would be my princess—
05:01.190 --> 05:02.590
Shut up!
05:02.590 --> 05:04.640
I'm not looking for an answer.
05:04.640 --> 05:05.840
I don't need an answer!
05:05.840 --> 05:06.570
I deny it.
05:06.990 --> 05:09.620
I deny the day I employed you!
05:09.620 --> 05:15.510
If they're in Ezo, they'll be heading towards the frozen land designated as a first class disaster region, Mt. Odori.
05:15.510 --> 05:23.340
That would be where the sword they seek, Soutou Kanazuchi, is held by the Itezora clan.
05:24.130 --> 05:26.790
I thought as much.
05:26.790 --> 05:29.800
But does that woman really think it will be easy?
05:30.220 --> 05:31.460
What do you mean?
05:31.460 --> 05:35.810
Do you know why Mt. Odori was designated a disaster region?
05:35.810 --> 05:40.100
Wasn't it because it harbors the harshest snowstorms in Japan?
05:41.300 --> 05:44.690
That unpleasant woman probably thinks the same.
05:45.090 --> 05:50.810
It was designated as such not because of the mountain itself, but because of the inhabitants of the mountain —{The disaster designation was given to the area because of the owners of Soutou Kanazuchi,}
05:50.810 --> 05:55.080
the owners of Kanazuchi — the Itezora clan, who have lived there since the distant past.
05:55.730 --> 05:57.710
This sounds like it'll get interesting.
05:57.710 --> 06:01.670
She can go ahead and keep flirting with that Kyotouryuu until she realizes what the real situation is.
06:07.550 --> 06:09.160
S-Shichika...
06:09.160 --> 06:10.430
If I die...
06:10.430 --> 06:11.230
Huh?
06:11.230 --> 06:17.890
If I die, please make all of Japan adopt "cheerio" as a catchphrase that means a shout to fire you up...
06:17.890 --> 06:19.610
Wha.. what are you saying?
06:19.610 --> 06:20.890
Pull yourself together, Togame!
06:21.140 --> 06:22.930
I can't take it anymore...
06:22.930 --> 06:24.100
H-Hey!
06:24.100 --> 06:26.320
This looks like the end for me...
06:26.320 --> 06:27.590
So please, Shichika...
06:27.590 --> 06:29.720
If nothing else, please make "cheerio"...
06:29.720 --> 06:31.120
That's impossible!
06:31.120 --> 06:35.670
There's no way I could make "cheerio" catch on with the wrong meaning!
06:35.670 --> 06:37.590
You can do it...
06:37.590 --> 06:39.870
You are the sword I chose.
06:39.870 --> 06:40.910
Impossible!
06:40.910 --> 06:43.500
I can't do anything without you!
06:43.750 --> 06:45.030
What are you saying?
06:45.030 --> 06:49.420
I've taught you everything I can already.
06:49.420 --> 06:51.550
You don't need my schemes anymore.
06:51.550 --> 06:52.430
What?
06:52.430 --> 06:55.520
You still have things to do!
06:56.740 --> 07:01.580
During this journey with you, I've realized for the first time...
07:01.580 --> 07:05.560
Everything I've done so far is meaningless...
07:06.720 --> 07:12.520
True happiness is finding the one you love and becoming a mother,
07:12.520 --> 07:15.940
and then living your life out with them.
07:15.940 --> 07:19.870
In the past, I hadn't even considered such a thing.
07:19.870 --> 07:23.270
Isn't it a bit too early for you to be thinking about that?
07:23.270 --> 07:27.100
I've walked this path for 20 years...
07:27.100 --> 07:32.260
but in the mere half year since we met, you've taught me how a human should live life.
07:32.260 --> 07:36.360
No, I really haven't done anything to change your outlook on life yet...
07:39.670 --> 07:41.810
My body seems kind of strange...
07:44.190 --> 07:45.190
What are you doing?!
07:47.190 --> 07:48.500
Shichika?
07:48.500 --> 07:50.030
Shichirin?
07:50.030 --> 07:51.390
Hey, Shichika!
07:52.700 --> 07:53.440
Shichika!
07:54.880 --> 07:56.660
I thought you'd died!
07:56.660 --> 07:58.160
What's wrong?
07:58.160 --> 08:01.330
My limbs won't move like I want them to...
08:01.580 --> 08:03.270
You've got frostbite, you idiot!
08:03.270 --> 08:05.160
If you're cold, why didn't you say so?
08:05.160 --> 08:07.460
I didn't think you were just putting up a strong face!
08:07.460 --> 08:12.010
Well no, I'm not cold, but I'm kind of losing control of my body.
08:12.010 --> 08:12.910
Idiot!
08:12.910 --> 08:14.850
How dull can you get?
08:15.570 --> 08:17.890
So this is what "cold" feels like...
08:18.390 --> 08:19.830
No, don't go to sleep!
08:19.830 --> 08:21.490
If you sleep, you'll die!
08:21.490 --> 08:22.320
Shichika!
08:22.320 --> 08:23.320
Open your eyes!
08:23.320 --> 08:25.280
Open your—
08:26.490 --> 08:27.880
Wake up!
08:27.880 --> 08:30.560
Please, wake up!
08:31.150 --> 08:32.110
Shichika...
08:35.190 --> 08:36.690
What do I do...
08:36.690 --> 08:38.080
What should I do?
08:40.230 --> 08:41.690
What should I do...
08:41.690 --> 08:42.760
Um...
08:44.210 --> 08:45.660
Are you okay?
08:52.150 --> 08:53.170
Here we go!
08:56.960 --> 09:03.670
At the exact moment when the strategian Togame and Shichika were saved by Itezora Konayuki,
09:03.670 --> 09:10.070
the 12 heads of the specialist assassins, the Maniwa Corps, were gathered in the Maniwa village.
09:10.570 --> 09:14.280
Though, having said 12 heads, there are only 6 here.
09:14.840 --> 09:17.570
Maniwa "Phoenix God" Houou,
09:18.450 --> 09:21.820
Maniwa "Sea Turtle the Long-lived" Umigame,
09:22.070 --> 09:26.080
Maniwa "Mandarin Duck the Rewind" Oshidori,
09:26.330 --> 09:30.580
Maniwa "Otter the Investigator" Kawauso,
09:31.400 --> 09:34.840
Maniwa "Penguin the Proliferate" Pengin,
09:35.090 --> 09:40.300
and the shapeless Maniwa "Rabid Dog the Infectious" Kyouken.
09:41.310 --> 09:48.980
Indeed, the Maniwa Corps have been halved in number this past half year.
09:48.980 --> 09:56.490
The effective leader of the Maniwa Corps, Maniwa Houou, was in the middle of his report to the other 5 heads,
09:56.490 --> 10:03.670
and was explaining how the crisis had driven him to form an alliance with the strategian Togame in Satsuma.
10:04.280 --> 10:08.620
And thus, we must all move together as a unit from now on.
10:09.140 --> 10:14.300
It is unavoidable, if it's true that the Insect squad really has been exterminated.
10:14.300 --> 10:18.330
I know you were on close terms with the Insect squad's Chouchou.
10:19.050 --> 10:23.040
I'm guessing this alliance goes against your wishes.
10:23.850 --> 10:29.270
No, Chouchou and I merely serve the Maniwa Corps.
10:29.270 --> 10:32.550
I would never consider acting on my own for revenge.
10:32.550 --> 10:33.060
Right?
10:33.720 --> 10:39.640
As far as revenge goes, personally I have a burning desire to avenge that Koumori idiot.
10:39.640 --> 10:41.930
He was my friend...
10:41.930 --> 10:46.700
but bearing this pain is what shinobi must do.
10:48.160 --> 10:53.220
If we can achieve our goal at the end of it all,
it will make up for their losses a little.
10:53.220 --> 10:57.460
To do that, we must start collecting swords as quickly as possible.
10:57.460 --> 10:58.710
Right.
10:58.710 --> 11:01.420
While avoiding conflict with Togame-chan too, right?
11:01.880 --> 11:08.920
The three swords I told the strategian about are in Shireizan, Tendou, and Edo,
11:08.920 --> 11:11.350
but for some reason they headed for Ezo.
11:12.470 --> 11:19.400
Um... i-isn't Ezo where S-S-Soutou Kanazuchi is?
11:19.400 --> 11:23.430
Your information gathering abilities are as impressive as ever.
11:23.430 --> 11:29.830
With Koumori no longer with us, it's no exaggeration to say that the success of our sword collection plan rests on you.
11:29.830 --> 11:34.570
Then we should search for the swords in locations other than those four.
11:34.570 --> 11:36.000
Correct.
11:36.000 --> 11:37.590
U-Um...
11:37.590 --> 11:39.210
Um, um, um!
11:39.210 --> 11:40.980
What is it, Pengin?
11:40.980 --> 11:47.230
A-About that point, or rather, about the swords' locations...
11:47.230 --> 11:48.250
Shireizan...
11:48.250 --> 11:49.350
Shireizan?
11:49.350 --> 11:53.310
There's n-no longer a sword in Shireizan.
11:53.310 --> 11:56.900
Or r-rather, Shireizan itself...
11:57.920 --> 12:09.480
I-I don't know wh-who it was, but someone laid waste to Shireizan in just half an hour and took the sword.
12:09.480 --> 12:10.770
What on earth...
12:10.770 --> 12:17.750
If such a monster exists, I think you'll have to move for us, Kyouken.
12:19.850 --> 12:21.250
Kyouken?
12:21.510 --> 12:25.200
Kawauso, how long was Kyouken here?
12:25.200 --> 12:26.860
Give me a break...
12:26.860 --> 12:32.640
When she moves seriously, even another member of the Beast Squad like me can't follow her movements.
12:32.640 --> 12:37.400
Though, I had a feeling she was still around when you were talking about that Ezo stuff.
12:37.400 --> 12:39.060
This is bad.
12:39.060 --> 12:41.650
That means she's gone after the strategian.
12:41.650 --> 12:45.140
That Kyouken is particularly emotional, after all.
12:45.140 --> 12:47.890
I doubt we'll be able to stop her.
12:47.890 --> 12:49.020
Right?
12:49.020 --> 12:51.330
If Kyouken is on the move...
12:51.330 --> 12:55.830
The alliance will fall apart just one month after it was formed.
12:55.830 --> 12:57.690
Now that it's come to this, we have no choice.
12:59.000 --> 13:00.930
Let's go, Kawauso.
13:00.930 --> 13:02.200
As you wish.
13:07.720 --> 13:10.640
Strategian-chan, Kyotouryuu-chan...
13:10.640 --> 13:14.390
You are the first people to make me this angry.
13:14.720 --> 13:16.070
I'll never forgive you!
13:16.070 --> 13:18.100
I will avenge my friends!
13:18.100 --> 13:19.160
Got it?
13:19.160 --> 13:22.310
You'd better not freeze to death before I get to Mt. Odori!
13:30.590 --> 13:33.520
You're an amazingly powerful girl.
13:33.530 --> 13:37.200
You carried me and Togame through this blizzard, right?
13:37.200 --> 13:39.580
And with that tiny body of yours too...
13:40.690 --> 13:44.320
I wouldn't be able to live on this kind of mountain otherwise!
13:44.320 --> 13:46.330
You're pretty amazing too!
13:46.330 --> 13:50.370
You climbed halfway up this mountain with a person on your back.
13:50.370 --> 13:53.560
You have a lot of guts for an land dweller!
13:53.560 --> 13:54.720
A land dweller?
13:54.980 --> 13:58.230
Onii-chan and Onee-chan, would you tell me your names?
13:58.920 --> 14:01.390
Oh, excuse me.
14:01.400 --> 14:07.900
Army general director in support of critical tasks under direct control of Yanari Shogun of the Owari Shogunate, Togame the Strategian.
14:07.900 --> 14:11.320
I'm the 7th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
14:11.320 --> 14:13.880
Togame Onee-chan and Shichika Onii-chan?
14:13.880 --> 14:17.850
I'm Itezora Konayuki, 11 years old.
14:17.850 --> 14:19.080
Nice to meet you!
14:20.350 --> 14:22.000
Itezora...
14:22.000 --> 14:23.370
I see.
14:23.370 --> 14:26.730
Meeting you here must be a fate.
14:26.730 --> 14:30.470
We actually came all the way here because we have some business with your clan.
14:30.470 --> 14:33.190
Really? How surprising!
14:33.190 --> 14:39.380
I'm sorry to ask this right after you saved us, but could you guide us to the Itezora clan's village in the morning?
14:43.420 --> 14:44.880
Um, well...
14:44.880 --> 14:51.270
This is very hard to say, but the Itezora village was wiped out in an avalanche just last month.
14:51.270 --> 14:52.320
Wiped out?
14:52.320 --> 14:53.360
Yes...
14:53.360 --> 14:55.660
I'm the only survivor.
14:55.930 --> 14:58.580
What do we do about our sword gathering now?
14:58.580 --> 15:00.090
Sword gathering?
15:00.090 --> 15:01.730
What's that?
15:01.730 --> 15:07.250
Might we have a sword which Togame Onee-chan and Shichika Onii-chan are looking for?
15:07.250 --> 15:08.470
Yeah...
15:08.470 --> 15:15.470
Your clan owns Soutou Kanazuchi, one of the 12 Perfected Deviant Blades which Shikizaki Kiki forged.
15:15.470 --> 15:16.880
Have you heard of it?
15:16.880 --> 15:18.100
Oh, Kanazuchi!
15:18.470 --> 15:19.350
You know about it?
15:19.350 --> 15:20.100
Not at all!
15:24.200 --> 15:28.430
Sorry, as you can see, I'm just a child.
15:28.430 --> 15:33.030
They didn't tell me about important matters or clan secrets.
15:33.030 --> 15:36.980
Then was there anyone in the clan who used a sword?
15:38.020 --> 15:43.460
Well, we don't really use swords, whether we're hunting, cooking, or building.
15:43.460 --> 15:44.220
Oh!
15:44.220 --> 15:46.460
Come to think of it, the mayor's eldest son...
15:46.460 --> 15:47.790
What about him?
15:49.510 --> 15:51.500
Are you okay?
15:51.500 --> 15:52.610
I'm fine.
15:52.610 --> 15:55.620
More importantly, what was that about the mayor's eldest son?
15:55.620 --> 15:58.980
I heard he used a sword when he was hunting.
15:58.980 --> 16:05.090
But I haven't seen it, and I don't know if it's Kanazuchi...
16:05.880 --> 16:07.230
What do you think, Shichika?
16:07.230 --> 16:08.020
No idea.
16:09.940 --> 16:13.280
If you're placing your hopes on my 6th sense, you're out of luck.
16:13.280 --> 16:16.320
It's such a faint sensation that I might just be imagining it.
16:16.320 --> 16:21.010
Then our only hope is to dig up the area around the mayor's house.
16:21.010 --> 16:23.550
But the village was buried in an avalanche, right?
16:23.550 --> 16:26.750
Do you even have any idea where it would have been?
16:27.490 --> 16:29.490
Good point...
16:29.490 --> 16:33.330
If that's the case, how I go out for a bit to fetch it?
16:33.330 --> 16:34.300
"Go out for a bit"?
16:34.690 --> 16:38.240
I lived in the village for 10 years, so I have a good idea where it would be.
16:38.240 --> 16:40.420
But there's a vicious snowstorm outside...
16:40.420 --> 16:44.260
The amount of snow falling makes no difference to us.
16:44.260 --> 16:46.150
The snow is a part of us.
16:46.150 --> 16:50.320
Whoops, I said "us", but I'm the only one left now.
16:52.260 --> 16:54.540
I'll just go get it then!
16:54.540 --> 16:56.610
Please wait here.
16:59.950 --> 17:01.720
"Just go get it"...
17:01.720 --> 17:05.380
Will she just give it to us if it's really Kanazuchi?
17:05.380 --> 17:06.560
I don't know.
17:06.560 --> 17:16.340
It's not clear what meaning Kanazuchi had to the Itezora clan, but it doesn't seem like that girl has any attachment to it.
17:16.340 --> 17:21.770
And that means we may be able to collect this sword with only negotiations, and no battle.
17:21.770 --> 17:27.190
I wonder if Konayuki is being kind to us because she feels lonely after losing everything...
17:29.390 --> 17:30.320
What?
17:30.320 --> 17:35.890
I just thought it's strange for you to recognize someone else's pain as "loneliness".
17:35.890 --> 17:37.610
Is that meant to be a compliment?
17:37.610 --> 17:39.970
Yes, but at the same time I'm concerned.
17:39.970 --> 17:40.940
Concerned?
17:40.940 --> 17:41.490
About what?
17:41.930 --> 17:42.910
Could you fight?
17:42.910 --> 17:45.740
Yeah, my legs and arms are fine now.
17:45.740 --> 17:47.630
That's not what I mean.
17:47.630 --> 17:50.060
I'm asking if you could fight Konayuki.
17:50.060 --> 17:52.000
A child for an opponent would be easy.
17:52.000 --> 17:53.060
I see.
17:53.060 --> 17:54.490
That's fine, then.
17:54.490 --> 18:00.070
But to think their village was destroyed by an avalanche after living here hundreds of years...
18:00.070 --> 18:01.680
I guess even these things happen.
18:02.110 --> 18:05.040
The Itezora clan's village is on the mountain peak, right?
18:05.040 --> 18:08.060
Now that you mention it, that does seem unnatural.
18:38.100 --> 18:42.140
Shichika, something's been bugging me since we left Satsuma.
18:42.140 --> 18:43.300
What is it?
18:43.300 --> 18:45.770
How did you know about that "chest" expression?
18:45.770 --> 18:48.690
I'd just heard it from my father.
18:48.690 --> 18:53.730
It's just that you were saying it so boldly that I thought maybe I was remembering wrong.
18:53.730 --> 18:54.420
I see.
18:54.420 --> 18:58.270
There isn't anything else you know about that you aren't telling me, is there?
18:58.270 --> 18:59.820
Um...
18:59.820 --> 19:01.030
I guess there are...
19:01.030 --> 19:02.050
There are?!
19:02.050 --> 19:03.470
You're such a...
19:03.470 --> 19:05.740
Come on, tell me all of them while we're on the topic!
19:05.740 --> 19:07.970
O-Okay...
19:07.970 --> 19:08.980
Let's see...
19:08.980 --> 19:15.000
I killed the previous Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Mutsue, my father, with my own hands.
19:16.160 --> 19:26.220
I also know that you're the daughter of the mastermind behind the rebellion whom my father killed, Hida Takahito.
19:26.750 --> 19:29.020
Who told you about my father?!
19:29.020 --> 19:32.810
That ninja I fought on Fushou Island, Maniwa Koumori.
19:33.270 --> 19:34.760
I see...
19:34.760 --> 19:38.930
I dealt with him more than any of the other Maniwa corps members.
19:38.930 --> 19:42.880
The problem is, who else has Koumori told besides you?
19:42.880 --> 19:45.210
I think I'm the only one he told.
19:45.210 --> 19:48.160
I think he said it to buy some time after I cornered him.
19:48.160 --> 19:52.760
I'm sure he intended to kill me afterwards, so I don't think it was a secret he leaked to anyone else.
19:52.760 --> 19:53.750
I suppose...
19:53.750 --> 19:58.590
Come to think of it, he was competing with the other 12 heads to collect the swords.
19:58.590 --> 20:02.380
I guess he withheld information from them to gain an advantage.
20:03.070 --> 20:06.070
That's just like him to be so impudently treacherous.
20:09.490 --> 20:10.870
W-What?
20:10.870 --> 20:16.810
So does that mean you chose to be my sword after learning about my father?
20:16.810 --> 20:18.290
Yeah, what about it?
20:18.290 --> 20:19.720
You knew that, yet...
20:19.720 --> 20:23.450
No, because of who I was, you fell for—
20:24.400 --> 20:25.200
Togame?
20:25.560 --> 20:26.870
Nooo!
20:26.870 --> 20:29.010
No no no no no no!
20:29.010 --> 20:30.450
W-What're you doing?
20:30.770 --> 20:32.750
Sorry, I was covering up my embarrassment.
20:32.750 --> 20:34.870
That's covering embarrassment?
20:34.870 --> 20:37.550
I suppose there are no more doubts then.
20:37.550 --> 20:39.980
Though it doesn't change our situation.
20:39.980 --> 20:42.770
No, it may even have improved it.
20:42.770 --> 20:43.740
Shichika,
20:43.740 --> 20:46.530
I'm going to add another order.
20:46.530 --> 20:51.220
You must never speak of these two facts to anyone besides me.
20:51.720 --> 20:52.890
Understood.
20:55.810 --> 20:57.260
Hey, Togame.
20:57.260 --> 20:59.510
Assuming we collect Kanazuchi—
20:59.510 --> 21:01.180
There's no assuming.
21:01.180 --> 21:01.880
We're getting it.
21:01.880 --> 21:03.960
Yeah, I guess so.
21:03.960 --> 21:05.880
We collect Kanazuchi,
21:05.880 --> 21:10.490
then get the remaining 6 to complete the collection of all 12 as planned.
21:10.490 --> 21:11.710
Right.
21:11.710 --> 21:14.580
After that, what do you plan to do?
21:14.900 --> 21:21.440
As your sword, I intend to accompany you however your life turns, and stay by your side wherever you go.
21:22.800 --> 21:25.920
But what about you?
21:25.920 --> 21:29.640
Once we finish the collection, what do you intend to do with your sword?
21:31.020 --> 21:34.220
I don't think there's been a day you've surprised me more than today.
21:34.580 --> 21:35.490
Really?
21:35.490 --> 21:40.150
Are you trying to ask me how I'm going to treat you as the Kyotouryuu sword?
21:40.150 --> 21:44.150
How I'll treat someone who should be the object of my revenge?
21:44.610 --> 21:46.810
I wonder now...
21:47.530 --> 21:50.280
I'm not playing innocent, just so you know.
21:50.280 --> 21:52.490
I'm really am thinking about it.
21:52.490 --> 21:54.500
We're still in the middle of our journey.
21:54.500 --> 22:00.080
For now, we need to focus on collecting all of Shikizaki Kiki's Deviant Blades.
22:00.990 --> 22:08.650
I don't know if that's a valid excuse, but it's the reason why I don't want to give an answer to your question yet.
22:08.650 --> 22:10.010
Sorry.
22:11.260 --> 22:12.460
Shichika?
22:16.250 --> 22:18.490
You fell asleep?!
22:21.740 --> 22:22.920
Honestly...
22:22.920 --> 22:26.400
Come to think of it, today is the first time you've fallen asleep before me.
22:27.080 --> 22:29.320
Good night, Shichika.
23:00.850 --> 23:02.010
Sorry to keep you waiting!
23:02.010 --> 23:04.220
Togame Onee-chan, Shichika Onii-chan!
23:04.220 --> 23:07.670
This is the sword that the mayor's eldest son owned.
23:09.860 --> 23:11.780
That?
23:11.780 --> 23:13.890
That's not a very promising reaction...
23:13.890 --> 23:16.640
Isn't this the sword you were looking for, Togame Onee-chan?
23:16.640 --> 23:18.390
Unfortunately not...
23:18.390 --> 23:20.090
That's strange...
23:20.090 --> 23:24.580
According to the documents that were with it, this is Kanazuchi.
23:24.870 --> 23:25.440
What?
23:25.440 --> 23:26.880
Could you show it to me for a second?
23:26.880 --> 23:28.290
Okay!
23:48.000 --> 23:48.920
This is it!
23:48.920 --> 23:50.650
This is Kanazuchi!
23:51.230 --> 23:52.100
Wait a second!
23:53.530 --> 23:54.810
I see...
23:54.810 --> 23:57.930
Kanazuchi is the heaviest sword ever created.
23:57.930 --> 24:02.400
And the Itezora clan's strength is unmatched by anyone else.
24:02.400 --> 24:05.250
Even though you pride yourself on your strength, you can't even budge it.
24:05.250 --> 24:07.500
You really have superhuman strength...
24:07.500 --> 24:10.610
Oh no, I'm not strong at all.
24:10.610 --> 24:13.560
In the strength competitions, I always came in last place.
24:13.560 --> 24:16.160
Of course, I could never compare to the adults,
24:16.160 --> 24:18.640
but I was also the weakest among the kids my age.
24:18.640 --> 24:19.720
Weakest?!
24:20.240 --> 24:26.280
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, but according to the document, the sword can't just be given away.
24:26.280 --> 24:27.230
What?
24:27.230 --> 24:33.820
If any land dweller says they really want it, they have to prove they are worthy to Kanazuchi.
24:39.930 --> 24:42.370
Are you ready, Shichika Onii-chan?
24:42.370 --> 24:44.700
Yeah, but it's cold.
24:44.700 --> 24:46.310
Let's start this already,
24:46.310 --> 24:47.210
right Togame?
24:47.230 --> 24:47.830
Yes.
24:50.220 --> 24:53.210
Start the fight!
24:54.260 --> 24:57.130
Here I go!
25:02.140 --> 25:04.760
Oh? You're over there, Shichika Onii-chan!
25:07.910 --> 25:09.360
This is kind of bothersome.
25:11.860 --> 25:14.520
Whoop, I'm not supposed to hurt her.
25:15.000 --> 25:16.150
I have to hold back.
25:16.150 --> 25:17.980
I must win without injuring my opponent,
25:17.980 --> 25:22.200
or else we can't get her to carry Kanazuchi back to Owari.
25:24.740 --> 25:26.350
Kyotouryuu: Rose!
25:25.710 --> 25:26.380
Kyotouryuu
25:25.710 --> 25:26.380
Rose
25:31.360 --> 25:32.630
I'm over here!
25:32.630 --> 25:33.170
Now for it!
25:33.710 --> 25:35.050
Kyotouryuu: Violet!
25:35.050 --> 25:35.700
Kyotouryuu Violet
25:45.040 --> 25:46.520
H-How's that?
25:46.840 --> 25:48.310
Konayuki...
25:55.370 --> 25:56.650
This is fun, isn't it?
25:56.650 --> 25:57.660
Shichika Onii-chan!
25:57.660 --> 25:59.570
I-Is it?
26:00.180 --> 26:04.730
I'll stop thinking too much and try to finish this quickly in one move.
26:04.730 --> 26:05.700
What should I do?
26:06.230 --> 26:11.500
The only way I can counter Konayuki's strength is through speed, which makes Kyouka Suigetsu my only choice.
26:11.500 --> 26:12.920
Shichika Onii-chan!
26:12.920 --> 26:15.090
It's my turn now!
26:27.270 --> 26:28.060
What?
26:28.080 --> 26:31.190
She can even freely change the swing of the sword?!
26:36.820 --> 26:39.150
Stop!
26:41.950 --> 26:51.670
And thus in his fight with Konayuki, Yasuri Shichika suffered his first defeat on their sword collection journey.{And so the first defeat was marked in Yasuri Shichika's journey collecting swords.}
26:54.210 --> 26:56.520
So that's Mt. Odori?
26:56.520 --> 26:59.260
Doesn't seem anything special.
26:59.270 --> 27:00.840
Now then...
27:01.480 --> 27:06.750
how should I cook up Strategian-chan and Kyotouryuu-chan?
27:06.750 --> 27:09.090
Everyone's looking forward to it.
27:09.090 --> 27:13.610
I'll send them to their graves in a way that suits them best.
27:15.780 --> 27:17.440
By the way, Houou...
27:17.870 --> 27:25.120
It's kind of sad to admit, being the leader of the Beast squad, but I still don't know much about Kyouken's ninpou.
27:26.780 --> 27:28.950
You've known her for a long time, right?
27:28.970 --> 27:30.700
This is a good opportunity, so tell me.
27:30.990 --> 27:33.280
That's not quite accurate.
27:33.280 --> 27:36.270
She is in a league by herself as far as time goes.
27:36.270 --> 27:37.930
"Rabid Dog the Infectious"...
27:37.930 --> 27:40.420
It would be described as something like a "resident mind".
27:40.700 --> 27:42.050
Resident mind?
27:42.050 --> 27:47.310
The truth is, the individual named Maniwa Kyouken died a long time ago.
27:48.440 --> 27:50.500
Oh, I see...
27:50.500 --> 27:54.130
She can freely jump between bodies?
27:54.130 --> 27:56.280
That is one convenient ninpou...
27:56.280 --> 27:59.970
Unfortunately, it seems there are limits to the ability.
27:59.970 --> 28:02.820
Apparently she can only target women.
28:03.780 --> 28:05.540
I didn't know that either.
28:05.540 --> 28:06.850
Lots of secrets, that woman.
28:06.850 --> 28:15.180
The power of Kyouken's ninpou will be beyond all description if Kanazuchi's owner turns out to be a woman.
28:15.180 --> 28:19.290
According to Pengin-kun's information, all members of the clan are incredibly powerful.
28:19.290 --> 28:27.190
Whatever the case, we must at least prevent the worst case where we lose both Kyouken and the alliance with the strategian.
28:27.190 --> 28:27.820
Right.
28:27.820 --> 28:28.930
And for that, Kawauso...
28:29.170 --> 28:31.850
It may be necessary for you to die.
28:32.110 --> 28:33.690
Aye sir, got it.
28:33.690 --> 28:39.420
I've experienced many things as a ninja, but I've never died yet.
28:39.420 --> 28:42.280
Now that it's come to this, I'm actually kind of looking forward to it.
28:42.280 --> 28:45.240
That Koumori idiot is probably feeling lonely up there, too.
28:45.670 --> 28:46.770
Let's hurry.
28:46.770 --> 28:47.830
Got it.
28:50.050 --> 28:54.000
Shichika Onii-chan, I'm really sorry!
28:54.000 --> 28:55.230
It's fine, I said.
28:55.230 --> 28:55.820
Don't worry about it.
28:56.210 --> 29:00.740
I never expected Shichika Onii-chan to be so weak.
29:01.020 --> 29:03.010
Is my handmade jerky tasty?
29:03.010 --> 29:03.750
Yeah.
29:03.750 --> 29:05.850
The rabbit one is particularly good.
29:07.920 --> 29:09.580
Rabbit it is then!
29:09.580 --> 29:12.020
Then to help Shichika Onii-chan recover faster,
29:12.020 --> 29:14.540
I'll go hunt lots of tasty rabbits!
29:14.550 --> 29:16.480
Stay here and rest well.
29:16.480 --> 29:17.940
Okay, thanks.
29:19.370 --> 29:21.860
Sorry.
29:21.860 --> 29:23.280
What's that all of a sudden?
29:23.280 --> 29:30.230
Well, I was thinking what happened this time was maybe my fault...
29:35.140 --> 29:38.000
You aren't holding a grudge against me, right?
29:38.000 --> 29:40.140
Like "a broken sword is useless",
29:40.140 --> 29:42.650
or "it's disgraceful for my sword to lose",
29:42.650 --> 29:44.200
or "go back to your island"?
29:44.200 --> 29:46.810
Or are you angry at how violent I am?
29:46.810 --> 29:49.790
I'm not angry or bearing a grudge.
29:49.790 --> 29:51.310
It's true that I lost.
29:51.890 --> 29:56.480
I already knew she was immensely strong, but I was underestimating her because she's a child.
29:56.480 --> 30:01.610
Though, I don't know if I could have beaten her even if I was on guard.
30:01.920 --> 30:06.000
You rate her abilities pretty highly even though she's just an amateur.
30:06.000 --> 30:08.810
Frankly, that kind of opponent is the hardest to deal with.
30:08.810 --> 30:12.030
Those ones with no sense and logic, who are simply strong.
30:12.030 --> 30:13.420
I see.
30:13.420 --> 30:15.760
You saved me with that swift decision.
30:15.760 --> 30:18.250
If the battle had continued after that, I could have been killed.
30:18.250 --> 30:19.530
You'd even thank me?
30:19.790 --> 30:21.880
I broke the promise...
30:21.880 --> 30:27.200
"Protect the swords, protect Togame, and protect myself."
30:27.200 --> 30:29.260
I wasn't able to protect myself.
30:29.260 --> 30:31.770
Don't be too hard on yourself.
30:31.770 --> 30:35.930
I've already blamed you enough.
30:35.930 --> 30:37.600
Or maybe too much.
30:37.600 --> 30:38.690
I'm sorry.
30:40.050 --> 30:46.460
Something like a fractured arm which will heal in half a month doesn't count as breaking your promise.
30:46.460 --> 30:49.360
And I'm the one who miscalculated this time.
30:49.360 --> 30:51.980
I don't intend to count it as disloyalty on your part.
30:51.980 --> 30:53.520
Well, thanks.
30:53.520 --> 30:55.430
So, what do we do?
30:55.430 --> 30:59.050
I still can't kill Konayuki, right?
30:59.050 --> 31:03.060
I guess we'll be having a rematch once my left arm heals, though.
31:03.060 --> 31:05.120
About that, Shichika...
31:05.120 --> 31:08.420
You probably won't have to fight Konayuki anymore.
31:08.920 --> 31:09.970
What do you mean?
31:09.970 --> 31:13.820
I'm thinking that what she said about proving we're worthy was a lie.
31:13.820 --> 31:14.760
A lie?
31:14.760 --> 31:16.390
Why would she lie like that?
31:16.760 --> 31:19.310
That girl is lonely.
31:20.730 --> 31:25.710
When she hands over Kanazuchi, we'll leave, and she'll be all alone again.
31:25.710 --> 31:28.500
She only just lost her family to an avalanche.
31:28.500 --> 31:33.350
As cheerful as she's acting, I'm sure she must be longing for some company right now.
31:33.350 --> 31:36.660
So she told that lie so we'd stay here longer?
31:37.170 --> 31:38.650
What a sweet lie...
31:42.650 --> 31:43.990
Look!
31:44.000 --> 31:47.030
I caught this.
31:47.030 --> 31:49.910
I can hunt all by myself now.
31:53.600 --> 31:57.050
I know I shouldn't lie...
31:57.050 --> 31:59.330
But I want to play with them...
31:59.330 --> 32:01.770
Just a little longer, okay?
32:02.220 --> 32:05.690
After that, I'll say sorry for lying.
32:07.070 --> 32:08.110
Everyone...
32:09.620 --> 32:14.310
I'm so lonely with everyone gone...
32:36.260 --> 32:38.070
Konayuki, are you okay?!
32:38.660 --> 32:39.530
Yes...
32:39.530 --> 32:40.880
I'm okay.
32:42.640 --> 32:44.060
Maniwani?!
32:44.060 --> 32:45.800
Is she someone you know?
32:45.800 --> 32:47.760
I just reflexively...
32:49.160 --> 32:51.790
Did this woman tell you her name?
32:51.790 --> 32:55.980
I think she said she's one of the 12 Maniwa Ninja Corps heads, Maniwa...
32:55.980 --> 32:57.660
Maniwa Kyouken or something.
32:58.510 --> 33:00.820
So you're Maniwa Kyouken?
33:00.820 --> 33:04.400
You're a heavyweight, even among the 12 heads.
33:04.400 --> 33:06.670
I had no idea you were a woman.
33:06.670 --> 33:11.340
Being knocked out right after showing up reminds me of Maniwa Shirasagi.
33:11.910 --> 33:18.640
Shirasagi, Koumori, Kuizame, Chouchou, Mitsubachi, Kamakiri...
33:18.640 --> 33:23.490
You've gone and brazenly killed my friends, Strategian-chan.
33:23.490 --> 33:26.520
Thanks to you, the Maniwa Corps is a total mess!
33:26.520 --> 33:27.730
So what?
33:31.280 --> 33:34.990
I've watched over and protected my companions in the Maniwa village.
33:34.990 --> 33:36.820
Don't take me lightly!
33:36.820 --> 33:39.140
I will avenge them!
33:39.140 --> 33:42.130
I'll send you to the other side with these two hands!
33:43.930 --> 33:49.600
It's nice that you're lively, but you don't look like you're in any condition to kill me.
33:49.600 --> 33:51.290
You've come here just to die.
33:51.290 --> 33:53.840
What an ill-fated woman.
33:53.840 --> 33:58.080
Don't get too depressed, I lost to that girl too.
34:00.240 --> 34:03.270
Really? How good of you to tell me.
34:03.270 --> 34:07.310
I was uncertain whether I'd be able to defeat you with this body,
34:07.310 --> 34:09.900
since its only merit is speed.
34:14.970 --> 34:17.100
Maniwa ninpou: Kyouken Hatsudou!
34:14.970 --> 34:17.100
Note: Rabid Dog activation
34:17.110 --> 34:17.770
Kyouken Hatsudou
34:41.660 --> 34:43.140
What just happened?
34:54.400 --> 34:58.890
Sorry to keep you waiting, Strategian-chan, Kyotouryuu-chan.
34:58.890 --> 35:03.740
I am one of the 12 Maniwa corps head's, Maniwa Kyouken-chan!
35:05.280 --> 35:06.880
Amazing!
35:06.880 --> 35:08.470
Simply amazing!
35:08.470 --> 35:10.710
I can feel the power flowing through my body!
35:10.950 --> 35:13.940
This is more amazing than any other body I've taken control of before!
35:13.940 --> 35:15.110
It's perfect!
35:15.110 --> 35:16.590
The Itezora clan, was it?
35:16.590 --> 35:19.130
It's such a shame I never knew about them before!
35:19.130 --> 35:22.960
I see, so this is how she's lived for so long...
35:22.960 --> 35:24.600
What is this, Togame?
35:24.600 --> 35:29.620
Basically, she can jump between bodies.
35:29.620 --> 35:31.190
She's a resident mind.
35:31.190 --> 35:32.350
A resident mind!?
35:32.350 --> 35:34.220
You know what that means?
35:34.220 --> 35:36.150
Nope, not a clue.
35:36.060 --> 35:36.100
Cheerio
35:36.100 --> 35:36.140
Cheerio
35:36.140 --> 35:36.190
Cheerio
35:36.150 --> 35:36.970
Cheerio!
35:36.190 --> 35:36.230
Cheerio
35:36.230 --> 35:36.890
Cheerio
35:36.890 --> 35:36.940
Cheerio
35:36.940 --> 35:36.980
Cheerio
35:41.860 --> 35:46.280
Togame, just making sure, but I can kill that now, right?
35:46.280 --> 35:48.160
Will you be able to, Shichika?
35:48.160 --> 35:51.770
It'll definitely be difficult with my left arm like this,
35:51.770 --> 35:55.530
but I'm not sure if I could beat her even in top form anyway,
35:55.540 --> 35:56.740
so it's kind of the same either way.
35:56.990 --> 35:58.260
I understand, Shichika.
35:58.260 --> 36:00.250
But it's not "you can kill her".
36:00.250 --> 36:01.420
It's "kill her".
36:01.420 --> 36:02.540
Cut her down.
36:03.090 --> 36:03.740
I know!
36:04.160 --> 36:07.080
If I go to the Itezora village and switch to an adult woman,
36:07.080 --> 36:08.990
her body might be even more amazing!
36:09.550 --> 36:10.330
Oh?
36:10.330 --> 36:13.290
The Itezora clan got wiped out?
36:13.290 --> 36:15.730
She even takes over memories?
36:18.510 --> 36:19.320
What...
36:25.910 --> 36:27.630
What's this memory?
36:27.630 --> 36:30.180
What caused this devastation...
36:30.180 --> 36:33.720
The village... the Itezora clan was wiped out!
36:33.720 --> 36:34.910
Well, whatever.
36:34.910 --> 36:38.380
I'll get Kawauso or Pengin to look into it later.
36:38.380 --> 36:39.240
Hey.
36:41.220 --> 36:43.390
Stop spouting garbage.
36:43.390 --> 36:45.270
You came here to kill me, didn't you?
36:45.270 --> 36:47.810
I'll play with you, Maniwa Kyouken.
36:48.050 --> 36:50.720
That's correct, Kyotouryuu.
36:50.720 --> 36:56.090
Shirasagi, Koumori, Kuizame, Chouchou, Mitsubachi, Kamakiri.
36:56.090 --> 36:59.050
I'll be sending your enemies over to you soon.
36:59.880 --> 37:02.260
Make sure you share them out when you eat them!
37:03.430 --> 37:04.780
Are those movements...
37:05.490 --> 37:07.860
Let me tell you something interesting, Kyotouryuu-chan.
37:07.860 --> 37:10.010
I don't just take over memories.
37:10.010 --> 37:11.410
I inherit them.
37:11.760 --> 37:15.720
I've taken over more than 2000 bodies in my lifetime.
37:15.720 --> 37:18.660
Most of them were female ninja, highly skilled in the martial arts.
37:18.660 --> 37:23.780
I don't know how many years of experience you have, but I have several thousand times more!
37:24.630 --> 37:29.500
All I've got is 20 years of training, and I haven't even done real battle 20 times.
37:31.080 --> 37:33.380
Wait, if it's like this, maybe I should check to see.
37:40.220 --> 37:41.420
What, you're trying to escape?
37:41.420 --> 37:43.940
How pathetic. Is that how a swordsman acts?
37:43.940 --> 37:48.120
No, I just wanted to confirm something.
37:48.500 --> 37:49.930
What? Confirm?
37:49.930 --> 37:51.890
Why don't you go confirm your corpse!
37:51.890 --> 37:53.130
Stupid blockhead!
37:54.000 --> 37:55.510
Kyotouryuu: Plum!
37:56.210 --> 37:56.880
Kyotouryuu
37:56.210 --> 37:56.880
Plum
37:57.290 --> 37:58.650
It landed!
37:59.110 --> 38:00.540
How did you do that, Shichika?
38:00.540 --> 38:07.050
I don't know why, but ever since Konayuki was taken over, I've been able to read her movements clearly.
38:07.050 --> 38:08.010
I see...
38:08.010 --> 38:13.550
You couldn't read Konayuki's movements since she was a complete amateur, but Kyouken is an experienced assassin.
38:13.550 --> 38:16.560
And on top of that, she has the combined experience of thousands of people.
38:16.560 --> 38:19.380
It makes sense that you can read her movements now.
38:20.570 --> 38:22.420
Shichika, this is an order.
38:22.420 --> 38:26.650
If that woman takes over my body, kill me without hesitation.
38:26.650 --> 38:28.410
As brutally as you can.
38:28.410 --> 38:29.180
Understood.
38:30.070 --> 38:33.830
Don't think for a moment that a hostage strategy would work against my sword.
38:33.830 --> 38:36.800
Just so you know, the strength of my body is on par with sliding door paper.
38:36.800 --> 38:39.120
I'm confident I can die just by falling over.
38:39.490 --> 38:42.130
I'm also confident that I can lose in a fight with a rabbit.
38:42.130 --> 38:45.300
If you still want to take over my body despite that, go ahead.
38:45.300 --> 38:49.310
However, by that point you'll be torn into pieces.
38:54.350 --> 38:58.340
I am one of the 12 Maniwa Ninja Corps heads, Maniwa Kyouken!
38:58.340 --> 38:59.480
I will avenge my friends!
38:59.900 --> 39:01.140
Now...
39:03.260 --> 39:04.020
Eat this!
39:04.590 --> 39:05.360
I get it now.
39:05.800 --> 39:08.050
That's why that sword is called "pair".
39:08.050 --> 39:12.250
There's no clear handle or tip, so you're free to hold it either way.
39:12.250 --> 39:13.450
Soutounoinu!
39:12.250 --> 39:13.450
Note: Twin-bladed dog
39:13.450 --> 39:14.120
Soutounoinu
39:14.060 --> 39:16.060
Kyotouryuu: Hikara Kuyou!
39:14.060 --> 39:15.450
Note: Falling blossoms, scattered leaves
39:15.450 --> 39:16.120
Kyotouryuu Hikara Kuyou
39:37.560 --> 39:39.000
The tattoo...
39:39.000 --> 39:41.350
Maniwa Kyouken's tattoo is vanishing!
39:46.750 --> 39:47.940
Shichika, what did you...
39:49.550 --> 39:55.970
I thought maybe if I only attacked the tattoo, I could defeat Kyouken without killing Konayuki.
39:55.970 --> 39:57.220
It looks like it worked.
39:57.220 --> 39:58.200
That's a relief.
39:58.200 --> 40:02.080
We have to get Konayuki to carry Kanazuchi to Owari, right?
40:02.080 --> 40:03.660
Y-Yeah...
40:03.660 --> 40:04.990
That's right.
40:04.990 --> 40:06.450
Well done, Shichika.
40:20.680 --> 40:23.940
This is the first time Shichika made his own decision not to kill his opponent.
40:23.940 --> 40:26.270
And against my orders, too.
40:26.630 --> 40:29.000
Kyotouryuu is but a single sword,
40:29.000 --> 40:32.110
but before that, he's also a human.
40:32.110 --> 40:35.340
I thought I should wake up that human side in Shichika,
40:35.340 --> 40:40.030
to make him find his resolve as a person, not as a sword.
40:40.030 --> 40:42.710
I told myself there would be insurmountable hurdles if I didn't.
40:43.320 --> 40:45.780
But now that it's actually happened, was I right?
40:45.780 --> 40:51.630
Maybe everything I've done in the last two months has merely served to dull his blade.{Perhaps over the past 2 months everything I've done has just blunted his blade.}
40:51.630 --> 40:56.550
All because, as his owner, I didn't know how to handle this sword.
40:56.790 --> 40:57.410
Cheerio.
40:58.670 --> 41:00.890
It seems we're too late.
41:04.300 --> 41:08.920
I'm one of the 12 Maniwa Ninja Corps heads, Maniwa Houou.
41:08.920 --> 41:14.070
Likewise, I'm one of the 12 Maniwa Ninja Corps heads, Maniwa Kawauso.
41:14.600 --> 41:19.120
You have some nerve to show your faces in front of me!
41:19.120 --> 41:21.650
Don't glare like that, Togame-chan.
41:21.650 --> 41:23.640
We used to work together in the shadows, didn't we?
41:23.640 --> 41:24.540
Shut up!
41:24.820 --> 41:28.080
It would appear the worst case happened after all.
41:28.080 --> 41:28.720
Right.
41:28.720 --> 41:33.170
And now Strategian-dono has lost her trust in us.
41:33.170 --> 41:35.380
I put no trust in you people from the start!
41:35.690 --> 41:37.370
Please don't jump to conclusions.
41:37.370 --> 41:40.400
Kawauso and I came here to stop Kyouken.
41:40.400 --> 41:42.990
Kyouken moved of her own accord this time.
41:42.990 --> 41:46.830
I wouldn't want you to think that the Maniwa Corps agreed to this.
41:46.830 --> 41:53.150
However, it's entirely understandable if you wish to break up the alliance after this incident.
41:53.150 --> 41:54.920
The alliance is already over.
41:54.920 --> 41:56.240
Don't say that...
41:56.240 --> 42:01.930
We were definitely in the wrong this time, so please allow us to take responsibility.
42:01.930 --> 42:03.750
Responsibility?
42:03.750 --> 42:04.790
Kawauso.
42:04.790 --> 42:05.950
Alrighty.
42:07.430 --> 42:11.320
Togame-chan, you know what my ninpou is, right?
42:11.320 --> 42:13.460
Maniwa ninpou: Record Tracer.
42:13.710 --> 42:14.970
Record Tracer?
42:15.580 --> 42:18.880
Kyouken was searching through Konayuki's memories, remember?
42:18.880 --> 42:22.610
Kawauso can do the same thing with inanimate objects.
42:22.610 --> 42:25.710
Basically, it's a form of psychometry.
42:25.990 --> 42:27.520
Psycho me tree?
42:27.830 --> 42:31.860
Objects have spirits, same as people, Kyotouryuu.
42:31.860 --> 42:38.620
Though it doesn't mean I can read absolutely anything, and conversely to Kyouken, I can't read people's memories.
42:38.620 --> 42:39.700
I'm too shy for that.
42:39.700 --> 42:42.010
If you can do that...
42:42.010 --> 42:49.860
So you understand now how useful this man's ninpou is for sword gathering.
42:49.860 --> 42:52.210
That's quite the secret weapon they kept hidden.
42:52.590 --> 42:53.380
Right?
42:53.670 --> 42:56.130
So, what do you mean by responsibility?
42:56.130 --> 42:57.050
Hurry up and tell us.
42:57.300 --> 42:58.440
Right.
42:58.440 --> 43:04.720
Even if I offered to lend you Kawauso's ability, you wouldn't trust us.
43:04.720 --> 43:07.420
And so I have no choice but to do this.
43:13.300 --> 43:18.740
With this, the 12 heads of the Maniwa Corps, including myself, are down to 4.
43:19.440 --> 43:24.150
At this point, I'm sure you agree we cannot pose any real threat to you,
43:24.150 --> 43:28.660
so could you overlook this minor violation of our alliance?
43:28.660 --> 43:29.580
You...
43:29.580 --> 43:31.580
You call yourself a leader?
43:31.580 --> 43:34.910
I told you before, you're overstating things.
43:34.910 --> 43:37.270
The Maniwa Corps needs no leader.
43:37.270 --> 43:39.450
Shinobi merely live and die.
43:40.720 --> 43:41.910
How about it then?
43:41.910 --> 43:48.440
If you still insist that we're a threat to you even without Kawauso's psychometry, then there's no choice.
43:48.440 --> 43:51.320
I will have to fight you here.
43:51.320 --> 43:54.730
I, too, harbor the urge to avenge my companions—
43:54.730 --> 43:55.980
I'll let it pass!
43:55.980 --> 43:57.900
I'll ignore this incident.
43:57.900 --> 44:00.890
Hurry up and get out of my sight!
44:00.890 --> 44:03.840
I don't want to see that unpleasant grin of yours any longer!
44:03.840 --> 44:07.160
I thank you for your generous treatment.
44:07.160 --> 44:08.350
Ah, yes...
44:08.350 --> 44:10.420
About what I told you the last time...
44:10.420 --> 44:14.380
Apparently the owner of Shireizan's sword changed a few days ago.
44:14.380 --> 44:16.440
Its owner changed?
44:16.440 --> 44:21.430
It means that there's someone besides yourselves and us gathering the swords.
44:22.810 --> 44:26.750
It would seem that the new owner got on a boat from Roku to Shikoku.
44:26.750 --> 44:27.710
Shikoku...
44:28.180 --> 44:31.650
I recommend you deal with it soon.
44:31.650 --> 44:37.870
The new owner is a monster that laid waste to Shireizan in a mere half hour.
44:45.710 --> 44:48.310
I'm sorry I lied to you.
44:48.830 --> 44:49.860
It's okay.
44:49.860 --> 44:51.510
All that aside, we're counting on you.
44:51.510 --> 44:52.920
You're the only one who can do this.
44:52.920 --> 44:54.260
Leave it to me!
44:54.260 --> 44:56.460
I'll be sure to take it to Owari.
44:56.460 --> 44:57.290
Yup.
44:57.290 --> 44:58.300
Do your best.
44:58.300 --> 45:04.160
And don't worry about the Sanzu shrine where you'll be living from now on.
45:04.160 --> 45:06.890
I've heard that your ancestors originally came from Izumo.
45:06.890 --> 45:08.390
I'm sure this is fate.
45:08.390 --> 45:09.410
Okay!
45:19.330 --> 45:21.690
Togame Onee-chan, Shichika Onii-chan!
45:21.690 --> 45:23.860
Thanks for playing with me!
45:23.860 --> 45:26.280
It was really fun.
45:32.430 --> 45:34.710
We're finally heading to Shikoku, Shichika.
45:34.710 --> 45:37.990
We can go see the giant Sword Buddha statue that you wanted to see.
45:37.990 --> 45:39.170
Yeah...
45:39.170 --> 45:40.040
What's wrong?
45:40.040 --> 45:41.360
You look down.
45:41.360 --> 45:43.070
How to put it... I feel some regret.
45:43.070 --> 45:44.030
What?
45:44.030 --> 45:45.130
A change of heart?
45:45.130 --> 45:47.330
I didn't know you had a thing for little girls!
45:47.330 --> 45:49.310
Are you telling me you prefer that young girl over m—
45:49.310 --> 45:53.400
No no, I said regrets, not a change of heart.
45:53.400 --> 45:58.230
We managed to defeat Kyouken, but my defeat by Konayuki still stands.
45:58.230 --> 46:01.810
That's why I still feel regret after beating Kyouken.
46:02.400 --> 46:05.980
I see. I already explained that to you.
46:05.980 --> 46:11.010
Konayuki's hit was just an amateur fluke that happened to catch you.
46:11.010 --> 46:12.550
It's nothing to worry about.
46:12.550 --> 46:15.280
That wouldn't normally even count as a loss.
46:15.280 --> 46:17.340
Really?
46:17.340 --> 46:19.030
No matter how many times you say it, I don't get it.
46:20.120 --> 46:23.350
Are you sure you haven't had a change of heart?
46:23.350 --> 46:25.720
Do you want me to wrap my hair around you again?
46:25.720 --> 46:27.870
A change of heart is impossible.
46:27.870 --> 46:29.640
I'm your sword, after all.
46:30.040 --> 46:31.880
Well, that's fine then.
46:31.880 --> 46:33.610
Don't make me worry like that.
46:35.580 --> 46:43.040
Well, if you absolutely must conclude your fight with her, do it after finishing our sword collection journey.
46:43.040 --> 46:43.830
Okay.
46:46.650 --> 46:48.960
Understood, Togame.
46:50.320 --> 46:57.350
Shichika's humanity was making fast progress as they reached the midpoint of their sword collection journey.
46:58.210 --> 47:04.130
Next month's deciding battle will take place in the holiest ground for swordsmen, Mt. Sayabashiri,
47:04.130 --> 47:07.510
inside the Seiryouingoken temple where the Buddha of swords sits.
47:08.430 --> 47:15.750
Shichika has achieved victory without killing the owner twice in succession now with Azekura Kanara and Itezora Konayuki,
47:15.750 --> 47:20.570
but in his next fight, he will undergo the experience of killing his own sister.
47:20.570 --> 47:25.500
Will the sword, the heart, or both of them be broken?
47:25.990 --> 47:31.090
The story of Katanagatari on this month and this evening ends here.
47:42.340 --> 47:51.680
konayuki wo koorase you ka
47:42.340 --> 47:51.680
粉雪を凍らせようか
47:42.340 --> 47:51.680
Should I freeze the snow...
47:54.260 --> 47:59.640
chi ni mau mae ni
47:54.260 --> 47:59.640
地に舞う前に
47:54.260 --> 47:59.640
before it drifts to the ground?
47:59.640 --> 48:04.700
haku iki hitotsu de
47:59.640 --> 48:04.700
吐く息ひとつで
47:59.640 --> 48:04.700
With a single breath
48:05.580 --> 48:11.290
tsurara to mimagou
48:05.580 --> 48:11.290
つららと見紛う
48:05.580 --> 48:11.290
The icicle was mistaken...
48:11.710 --> 48:17.610
koori no aikuchi
48:11.710 --> 48:17.610
氷の匕首
48:11.710 --> 48:17.610
for a dagger of ice
48:18.040 --> 48:22.230
kumo ga sakeru tabi ni
48:18.040 --> 48:22.230
雲が裂けるたびに
48:18.040 --> 48:22.230
Every time the clouds split...
48:24.060 --> 48:28.700
tsuki mo ha wo mise you
48:24.060 --> 48:28.700
月も刃を見せよう
48:24.060 --> 48:28.700
the moon will reveal the blade
48:29.660 --> 48:35.090
nikushimi no tame ni
48:29.660 --> 48:35.090
憎しみの為に
48:29.660 --> 48:35.090
Even the destiny I encounter...
48:34.140 --> 48:38.370
deau sadame mo
48:34.140 --> 48:38.370
出逢う定めも
48:34.140 --> 48:38.370
Because of fate
48:38.620 --> 48:44.120
mata itoshi yueni
48:38.620 --> 48:44.120
また愛し 故に
48:38.620 --> 48:44.120
is also for love
48:43.230 --> 48:46.780
ai yori aoku
48:43.230 --> 48:46.780
藍より青く
48:43.230 --> 48:46.780
Love bluer than indigo
48:46.220 --> 48:53.670
omoi wo togeru sono hi ni wa
48:46.220 --> 48:53.670
想いを遂げるその日には
48:46.220 --> 48:53.670
On the day I accomplish my wishes...
48:53.670 --> 48:58.990
shizuka ni sora wa sumi yuki
48:53.670 --> 48:58.990
靜かに空は澄みゆき
48:53.670 --> 48:58.990
the quiet skies will be perfectly clear...
48:59.680 --> 49:06.590
tokeru darou
48:59.680 --> 49:06.590
溶けるだろう
48:59.680 --> 49:06.590
and will melt into the sky
49:13.140 --> 49:17.000
To think that Shichika would feel regret over another woman...
49:17.220 --> 49:21.330
I'll wrap him up with my hair so tight he won't forget me!
49:21.330 --> 49:24.200
Now then, the owner of the sword for next episode...
49:24.200 --> 49:26.770
To think she of all people would stand in our path...
49:27.240 --> 49:29.760
What is Yasuri Nanami thinking?
49:29.760 --> 49:32.390
Next time on Katanagatari: Akutou Bita.
49:32.790 --> 49:35.010
We'll show you Shichika's new ultimate move!
49:35.570 --> 49:37.900
Well, I'm thinking it up now...
49:37.070 --> 49:40.600
Akutou
49:37.070 --> 49:40.600
Bita
49:37.070 --> 49:40.600
Poor,
49:37.070 --> 49:40.600
the Evil
49:37.900 --> 49:39.760
Cheerio!
