00:01.600 --> 00:05.810
TENPO YEAR 1 (1830)
00:02.440 --> 00:05.730
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
00:05.730 --> 00:06.600
Shut up!
00:09.560 --> 00:10.690
Annoying brat.
00:11.190 --> 00:12.810
You're a goddamn mistake.
00:13.400 --> 00:14.100
C'mere!
00:15.560 --> 00:18.690
No, please!
00:19.350 --> 00:22.100
Help me, Jinta!
00:27.770 --> 00:28.730
Wait, Dad!
00:29.350 --> 00:30.480
I'm sorry!
00:34.810 --> 00:38.310
I'm s-sorry...
01:11.100 --> 01:13.980
Suzune! Suzune!
01:17.770 --> 01:18.650
Suzune!
01:29.150 --> 01:29.980
Suzune?
01:32.690 --> 01:33.980
Jinta...
01:34.560 --> 01:35.350
Suzune!
01:37.400 --> 01:39.560
I'm sorry. I should have done something.
01:39.730 --> 01:43.690
Don't say that, Jinta. You're gonna get in trouble!
01:44.850 --> 01:47.400
Just forget about me and go back home.
01:48.150 --> 01:48.770
Okay?
01:52.150 --> 01:52.980
We're leaving.
01:53.560 --> 01:54.230
Huh?
02:07.770 --> 02:09.600
Are you getting cold, Suzune?
02:09.900 --> 02:12.940
Not with you here. I'll be fine.
02:25.940 --> 02:28.650
No place to go? Then come stay with me.
02:32.440 --> 02:34.940
Jinta? Jinta!
02:36.810 --> 02:38.690
Ah, good morning.
02:45.850 --> 02:47.940
Well, no more riding piggyback for you.
02:48.900 --> 02:50.270
Time to walk on your own.
03:02.400 --> 03:04.270
What a weird place...
03:04.440 --> 03:09.100
This village was built to house blacksmiths
who use large bellows to forge katana.
03:12.850 --> 03:14.020
Well, come on in.
03:14.900 --> 03:16.810
Daddy! Welcome home!
03:17.650 --> 03:19.940
Thank you. Have you been a good girl?
03:20.310 --> 03:20.980
Mm-hm!
03:27.020 --> 03:27.850
Who are they?
03:28.520 --> 03:29.770
Kids who need a home.
03:30.560 --> 03:32.480
So they're going to live with us from now on.
03:33.150 --> 03:34.770
You mean, in our house?
03:34.940 --> 03:37.690
Yes. I'm making them part of our family.
03:38.350 --> 03:39.020
Is that okay?
03:40.190 --> 03:40.850
Yeah!
03:43.350 --> 03:46.020
My name is Shirayuki! What's your name?
03:46.480 --> 03:47.900
J-Jinta...
03:49.730 --> 03:53.310
Hello there! Will you tell me your name, too?
03:59.060 --> 04:00.230
I'm Suzune.
04:00.440 --> 04:01.560
Thank you!
04:03.810 --> 04:05.150
Let's be friends, okay?
04:05.770 --> 04:08.810
All right. Shirayuki-chan...
04:10.100 --> 04:11.440
You don't need to call me that.
04:11.900 --> 04:14.900
Because from now on, we're all going to be family!
04:31.270 --> 04:32.440
Can't sleep?
04:37.650 --> 04:39.560
Are you a samurai, Motoharu-san?
04:39.810 --> 04:41.730
No. I'm a sentinel.
04:44.520 --> 04:46.850
I keep important things and people safe.
05:55.150 --> 05:59.520
You always eat too many dango, Shirayuki-chan.
We should go vegetable picking instead next time!
05:59.730 --> 06:03.020
I can't help it, Chitose-chan.
Your mom just makes the best dango.
06:03.310 --> 06:04.270
I know, right?
06:04.270 --> 06:05.310
Chitose!
06:06.150 --> 06:06.980
My mom's calling me.
06:07.350 --> 06:08.350
Bye for now!
06:08.350 --> 06:09.150
See you later!
06:09.150 --> 06:10.560
Bye to you, too, Jinta-nii!
06:11.850 --> 06:13.650
I'm back, Mommy!
06:14.100 --> 06:18.190
Guess what? My friends and I went to the river today
to play in the water and we had so much fun...
06:31.440 --> 06:33.350
So, about your mom...
06:34.310 --> 06:36.520
Her name is Yokaze, right?
06:37.190 --> 06:41.850
I know she was the one who helped us get
the permission we needed to live here in Kadono village.
06:44.440 --> 06:46.560
She never leaves that shrine, huh?
06:47.310 --> 06:50.190
Yeah. It's because she's the Itsukihime.
06:50.730 --> 06:51.730
What's that?
06:52.350 --> 06:55.350
Well, it's another name for the Miko of the Fire God.
06:56.060 --> 07:00.940
The only people allowed to see the Itsukihime
are the village chieftain and our dad, her sentinel.
07:02.100 --> 07:07.850
The rules say the Itsukihime can't interact with
regular people, because it might taint her holy powers.
07:09.690 --> 07:12.310
It's been years since I last saw her myself...
07:14.650 --> 07:16.520
Come on. Let's go home.
07:16.980 --> 07:18.940
TENPO YEAR 3 (1833)
07:34.230 --> 07:35.480
Still not good enough.
07:36.730 --> 07:37.980
Well, only practice makes perfect.
07:37.980 --> 07:39.560
Yeah, yeah!
07:40.270 --> 07:43.690
But y'know, it feels like I haven't made
any progress at all...
07:46.900 --> 07:47.980
Listen, Jinta.
07:48.400 --> 07:50.060
Nothing is forever.
07:50.440 --> 07:53.020
Although you may feel like you're still the same,
07:53.270 --> 07:55.520
the reality is that you've been changing little by little.
07:56.850 --> 07:59.600
So buck up. You'll get tougher in time.
08:00.480 --> 08:01.980
I guarantee it.
08:02.810 --> 08:03.520
Okay.
08:03.850 --> 08:06.520
Well, it's time for me to go fulfill my duties.
08:06.940 --> 08:07.980
Motoharu-san!
08:08.440 --> 08:09.810
Thanks for training me.
08:10.230 --> 08:10.980
Sure.
08:17.850 --> 08:19.810
Daddy! Don't forget this!
08:19.810 --> 08:20.900
Why thank you.
08:23.020 --> 08:24.480
Be safe!
08:24.480 --> 08:25.310
Will do.
08:36.230 --> 08:37.520
Too bad that you lost.
08:38.060 --> 08:39.020
Does it still hurt?
08:39.480 --> 08:40.480
Cut it out.
08:40.730 --> 08:44.400
Aw, don't be like that. I'm trying to be
a good big sister and cheer you up.
08:44.560 --> 08:48.060
How are you my big sister? You're younger than me.
08:48.600 --> 08:51.940
Because I've got my act together!
That makes me the mature one!
08:56.850 --> 08:58.440
Wah! S-Suzune!
08:58.440 --> 09:00.400
Good morning, Jinta...
09:01.850 --> 09:02.940
What's the matter?
09:02.940 --> 09:05.350
Uh, it's nothing!
09:07.350 --> 09:09.650
Okay. It's time for breakfast.
09:09.650 --> 09:10.230
Yay!
09:15.520 --> 09:16.150
Right.
09:20.520 --> 09:23.650
Once again, your demon-slaying skills prove impeccable.
09:24.230 --> 09:28.400
Jinta. You never falter in the face
of those flesh-eating monsters.
09:29.020 --> 09:30.980
Your stalwart dedication is to be admired.
09:31.690 --> 09:36.150
Not at all. I am merely fulfilling my duties
as the village sentinel.
09:37.100 --> 09:39.400
What sort of demon was it this time?
09:39.690 --> 09:43.350
It used a human disguise to try and sneak
into Kadono unnoticed.
09:46.100 --> 09:48.900
Then it must have been after our princess.
09:55.310 --> 09:58.730
Demons naturally have a lifespan
that lasts over a thousand years.
09:59.020 --> 10:02.690
But legend has it that eating the fresh liver
of a Miko can make them immortal.
10:03.310 --> 10:05.940
Oh please, we don't even know
if that folktale is true or not.
10:05.940 --> 10:09.980
Does it matter? The previous Itsukihime,
Yokaze, was in fact eaten by a demon.
10:10.190 --> 10:14.560
And we only managed to put an end
to the monster after Motoharu gave his life.
10:16.150 --> 10:18.190
It's possible they seek to obtain Yarai.
10:18.940 --> 10:21.850
The sacred sword passed down
to the Itsukihime for generations.
10:22.600 --> 10:24.980
I imagine it holds great value to the demons, as well.
10:25.310 --> 10:25.980
Perhaps.
10:26.810 --> 10:30.770
The story goes that Yarai was created
by using the best smithing techniques in Kadono.
10:30.850 --> 10:34.900
It is a mystical katana that has remained
in pristine shape for well over a century.
10:35.650 --> 10:40.350
Now the demons seek to wield its power.
Is that what you suggest?
10:41.690 --> 10:42.690
However...
10:43.600 --> 10:45.400
Yes, I know what you wish to say.
10:50.980 --> 10:54.690
Don't get your loincloth in such a twist, Father.
10:54.900 --> 10:58.560
You realize the Itsukihime now
has two sentinels protecting her, don't you?
10:58.770 --> 10:59.730
Kiyomasa.
11:00.270 --> 11:04.650
Although one of them is an oddball with no talent
for anything except swinging a sword around.
11:05.150 --> 11:05.940
Right?
11:06.270 --> 11:07.520
You got a problem with me?
11:08.150 --> 11:11.980
You know this sacred shrine
is no place for such petty quarrels.
11:12.520 --> 11:14.440
Yes. Please accept my apologies.
11:14.730 --> 11:16.650
That applies to you as well, Kiyomasa.
11:16.850 --> 11:17.900
Seriously?
11:18.150 --> 11:20.730
Of course. You are a sentinel, are you not?
11:21.020 --> 11:25.560
I mean, sure. But the only thing I really do
is hang around as your bodyguard.
11:27.100 --> 11:28.020
Kiyomasa.
11:28.690 --> 11:30.690
Yeah, yeah. I hear you.
11:35.150 --> 11:38.520
Very well. This brings our meeting to a close.
12:00.350 --> 12:02.900
Are you the only one who has stayed behind?
12:03.350 --> 12:03.900
Yes.
12:04.730 --> 12:06.520
Then we can drop the formalities.
12:17.350 --> 12:18.400
Princess!
12:21.980 --> 12:26.100
C'mon, Jinta. How many times do I gotta tell you?
Quit all the fancy talk.
12:26.270 --> 12:28.100
But you're in a role that's due respect.
12:29.480 --> 12:35.770
I get it may be difficult for you, but I really wish
you'd just use my name when we're alone.
12:36.600 --> 12:40.230
Since at this point, you're the only one left
who can call me that.
12:41.100 --> 12:42.230
Yes, but...
12:47.400 --> 12:48.560
Shirayuki.
12:51.940 --> 12:53.480
Sorry to be so self-centered.
12:53.980 --> 12:54.850
I gotta shape up!
12:55.150 --> 12:56.730
I can't just rely on you forever.
12:57.150 --> 12:58.690
Why is that a problem?
12:59.230 --> 13:02.520
The whole reason the Itsukihime is assigned
a sentinel is for her to depend on them.
13:04.940 --> 13:05.770
Thank you.
13:07.400 --> 13:09.980
By the way, Suzu-chan is here today.
13:11.350 --> 13:11.940
Huh?
13:13.440 --> 13:14.600
Shirayuki?
13:27.900 --> 13:29.900
If she ever gets caught sneaking in here,
13:29.900 --> 13:34.650
she better not come crying to me when they
put her to death for blasphemy against the Itsukihime.
13:34.810 --> 13:36.230
Don't be like that.
13:36.600 --> 13:38.520
Suzu-chan only came here to see you.
13:38.810 --> 13:39.690
Me?
13:41.560 --> 13:44.400
You haven't been home in days
because you were out hunting demons.
13:44.600 --> 13:46.440
I think she couldn't wait any longer.
13:47.100 --> 13:49.400
But that's no reason to break the rules.
13:49.980 --> 13:51.810
Suzune! Wake up!
13:56.600 --> 13:58.230
Good morning, Jinta.
14:00.600 --> 14:01.980
Welcome home!
14:02.400 --> 14:04.230
Thanks. Good to be back.
14:08.310 --> 14:12.350
Suzune. I've told you over and over again
that this shrine is off-limits.
14:12.480 --> 14:14.440
You're not allowed to come here.
14:14.770 --> 14:18.230
Boo! Why do you get to come but I don't?
14:18.850 --> 14:21.350
Those are the rules and you need to follow them.
14:21.350 --> 14:22.600
Okay!
14:23.940 --> 14:25.520
Ah, the struggles of being an older brother.
14:26.310 --> 14:28.560
Someone's coming. Keep quiet, Suzune.
14:28.560 --> 14:30.520
It's okay, I know a secret way out!
14:30.730 --> 14:31.350
Wait!
14:31.810 --> 14:33.150
Bye-bye!
14:38.310 --> 14:39.400
You handled that well.
14:39.770 --> 14:41.730
Suzune-chan is such a sweet girl.
14:41.940 --> 14:44.480
Although she can be a real handful sometimes...
14:55.310 --> 14:58.060
May I have a moment of your time, Princess?
14:58.350 --> 15:01.600
I was hoping to get your answer
to my proposal from the other day.
15:02.350 --> 15:04.190
Ah, I see...
15:05.730 --> 15:07.020
Pardon me.
15:12.730 --> 15:16.810
Jinta. Would you mind
stepping outside for a few minutes?
15:17.310 --> 15:19.270
But, sir, it's my duty to stay by her sid-
15:19.270 --> 15:19.850
Jinta.
15:20.310 --> 15:21.900
You are excused.
15:23.560 --> 15:24.150
As you wish.
15:28.560 --> 15:29.230
Jinta.
15:30.350 --> 15:33.980
The safety of Kadono is in your hands.
Please remain its staunch defender.
15:51.060 --> 15:53.020
Listen, Jinta...
15:53.560 --> 15:55.060
I'm going to become the Itsukihime.
16:00.350 --> 16:03.020
I love this village that my mother gave her life for.
16:03.650 --> 16:07.560
And I want to help keep it strong,
because that feels like the right thing to do.
16:11.940 --> 16:12.650
But it means...
16:13.440 --> 16:14.900
I won't be able to see you again.
16:19.100 --> 16:20.940
Then I'll just work my way up to you.
16:21.690 --> 16:23.230
I don't have what it takes yet.
16:23.690 --> 16:25.150
But I'll get tougher!
16:25.600 --> 16:29.810
I'm going to follow in Motoharu-san's footsteps
and train hard until I can defeat any demon.
16:30.440 --> 16:33.230
Then I can become the village sentinel
and see you again.
16:56.980 --> 16:57.980
How goes it?
16:58.480 --> 16:59.690
Swimmingly.
17:00.100 --> 17:04.520
Even though it's my own ability,
the idea seemed far too absurd for me to believe.
17:05.520 --> 17:08.730
But now I've made sure of it with my own eyes.
17:09.270 --> 17:12.810
There is no doubt. She looks exactly like the one I saw.
17:30.310 --> 17:33.060
Getting a slow start today, huh, Jinta?
17:34.020 --> 17:36.480
I was told I'm not needed
at the shrine until this afternoon.
17:40.770 --> 17:42.560
Oh really?!
17:46.480 --> 17:47.810
Do I have something on my face?
17:48.480 --> 17:50.440
Your bandage is coming undone.
17:53.560 --> 17:54.900
Is it okay now?
17:55.600 --> 17:56.150
Yeah.
18:03.310 --> 18:05.730
We've really found happiness, haven't we?
18:06.350 --> 18:10.270
All I ever need to be happy is you, Jinta.
18:12.230 --> 18:13.270
Good morning!
18:15.060 --> 18:16.150
Princess?
18:19.810 --> 18:21.230
What are you doing here?!
18:21.440 --> 18:22.520
I slipped away!
18:22.940 --> 18:25.810
So come spend the day with me, Jinta!
18:26.060 --> 18:28.400
You slipped away? But the Itsukihime can't-
18:28.400 --> 18:29.480
It's okay.
18:29.650 --> 18:32.310
I already got approval from the chieftain just for today!
18:32.980 --> 18:36.310
C'mon, Jinta! Let's all have breakfast together
like the old days!
18:37.600 --> 18:38.440
Okay...
18:38.730 --> 18:40.020
Hurry up, now!
18:40.020 --> 18:42.520
We can't make the princess serve herself!
18:42.730 --> 18:44.810
Hey, slow down! This isn't a party!
18:53.940 --> 18:56.480
You should've prepared something more fancy.
18:56.480 --> 18:57.440
No whining.
18:57.900 --> 18:59.690
Are you just a bad cook or what?
18:59.690 --> 19:00.770
Don't make me smack you.
19:01.100 --> 19:05.230
Now that's rich. We all know you're too big of a softie
to ever lay a hand on Suzu-chan.
19:06.400 --> 19:08.940
I can be a strict brother when the need arises.
19:09.100 --> 19:10.770
Even if that means getting rough.
19:11.980 --> 19:13.850
It'll never happen in a million years.
19:14.100 --> 19:16.270
You think so, too, huh?
19:16.270 --> 19:18.730
Yep! I mean, you know how Jinta is.
19:18.940 --> 19:20.980
You two are seriously asking for it.
19:22.600 --> 19:24.350
Okay, then go right ahead.
19:24.480 --> 19:26.230
Smack me if you can.
19:36.690 --> 19:39.900
Yeah, well, I guess I'll let you off the hook.
19:40.150 --> 19:41.600
There you have it!
19:51.270 --> 19:52.270
Someone's in a good mood.
19:52.650 --> 19:55.850
Well, duh! You get to spend
a whole day with the princess!
19:56.100 --> 19:58.020
That makes me super happy!
19:58.400 --> 19:59.940
How does that work?
20:00.190 --> 20:02.310
Because I love you, Jinta!
20:02.520 --> 20:05.480
So your happiness is my happiness!
20:09.810 --> 20:10.850
Watch after the house.
20:11.230 --> 20:13.480
'Kay! Have fun!
20:18.810 --> 20:20.850
Alright! Let's go eat some dango!
20:37.350 --> 20:39.100
Suzune-chan's such a sweetie.
20:39.310 --> 20:39.900
Yeah.
20:43.900 --> 20:46.230
Did I just see Jinta-sama with a beautiful girl in tow...?
20:49.810 --> 20:51.730
Look at that pretty girl hanging around Jinta-sama.
20:51.730 --> 20:53.730
Does Byakuya-sama know about this?!
20:53.730 --> 20:54.940
Talk about scandalous!
20:54.940 --> 20:56.850
DANGO
20:57.020 --> 20:58.850
Hey, Chitose. Pardon the sudden visit.
20:59.060 --> 21:00.730
Oh, Jinta-sama!
21:00.900 --> 21:02.900
Welcome... in?
21:03.520 --> 21:05.190
Um, may I ask who this is?
21:05.190 --> 21:07.980
A friend of mine. Let's just leave it at that.
21:09.850 --> 21:11.560
Gimme 10 orders of dango!
21:11.560 --> 21:12.440
Just two, actually.
21:12.900 --> 21:13.980
And some tea, please.
21:13.980 --> 21:15.060
Boo...
21:19.020 --> 21:21.270
Chitose-chan doesn't recognize me, does she?
21:21.520 --> 21:23.730
She hasn't seen you in person for years now.
21:23.980 --> 21:24.980
What do you expect?
21:25.520 --> 21:27.350
Yeah, I figured as much...
21:36.440 --> 21:37.230
Thank you.
21:38.150 --> 21:39.650
Your order is ready.
21:44.190 --> 21:45.400
I see more than dango...
21:45.400 --> 21:47.730
That's isobe mochi. You loved it as a kid, right?
21:48.150 --> 21:49.310
You remember that?
21:49.850 --> 21:51.940
Yeah. We had some on hand.
21:51.940 --> 21:53.270
So help yourself, Jinta-nii...
21:53.270 --> 21:55.940
Oh, I'm sorry! How rude of me!
21:57.230 --> 21:57.940
I don't mind.
22:04.060 --> 22:04.690
It's great!
22:06.770 --> 22:08.730
Please enjoy yourselves.
22:12.350 --> 22:14.600
She's a real bundle of nerves, huh?
22:14.770 --> 22:16.270
I don't blame her.
22:16.810 --> 22:18.770
Things have changed between us.
22:18.770 --> 22:22.020
I'm no longer a big brother figure. I'm the village sentinel.
22:23.480 --> 22:24.480
That makes sense.
22:28.480 --> 22:30.230
"Nothing is forever."
22:30.810 --> 22:32.810
One of dad's favorite catchphrases.
22:32.850 --> 22:33.690
Yeah.
22:33.900 --> 22:38.310
He was always trying to teach me
important life lessons like that.
22:39.400 --> 22:44.020
Even now, it feels like he's guiding me
to follow in his footsteps.
22:44.940 --> 22:45.900
That's good.
22:46.900 --> 22:48.650
I hope we can live up to mom and dad.
22:49.230 --> 22:53.520
By keeping the majesty of Kadono village safe
just like they did.
22:54.520 --> 22:55.270
Yeah.
23:03.900 --> 23:04.900
Thanks for coming.
23:05.310 --> 23:07.270
Same. I had a good time today.
23:07.560 --> 23:09.690
I see. I'm glad to hear that.
23:10.690 --> 23:13.270
I felt bad making you go along
with another of my selfish whims...
23:17.730 --> 23:19.310
So, are you satisfied?
23:19.690 --> 23:20.310
Mm-hm.
23:24.650 --> 23:27.440
Actually, I just wanted a chance for us to talk here.
23:28.230 --> 23:30.310
This is where it all started for me.
23:31.400 --> 23:33.900
Which is why I thought it was
the best place to share my news.
23:34.690 --> 23:36.400
So, will you hear me out?
23:37.400 --> 23:37.900
Sure.
23:42.520 --> 23:45.190
I'm going... to marry Kiyomasa.
23:49.600 --> 23:51.900
I got lectured by the chieftain yesterday.
23:52.810 --> 23:54.480
He said that if demons are coming for me,
23:54.980 --> 23:58.650
then I should bear a successor
before I end up like mom did.
24:00.100 --> 24:03.730
Kiyomasa is a sentinel. Plus, he was born in Kadono.
24:04.230 --> 24:06.100
And eventually, he'll become the village chieftain.
24:07.810 --> 24:11.150
The idea is that our marriage
would be to the benefit of everyone.
24:13.940 --> 24:15.810
And I'm inclined to agree.
24:19.230 --> 24:22.600
But speaking as Shirayuki, I want you to know...
24:28.150 --> 24:30.900
...I love you, Jinta.
24:34.690 --> 24:36.350
But I must live as Byakuya now.
24:36.940 --> 24:38.690
I can't go back to being Shirayuki.
24:40.350 --> 24:45.440
To be perfectly honest, I was ready to leave
and start a life with you somewhere else.
24:46.650 --> 24:50.520
But I knew that was a choice you would never make.
24:51.480 --> 24:52.440
You're right.
24:52.980 --> 24:55.730
Because you're not in love with me?
24:56.770 --> 25:01.400
I swore an oath to protect Byakuya. Not Shirayuki.
25:02.350 --> 25:05.520
I worked myself to the bone learning
how to wield the blade when I was young,
25:06.060 --> 25:10.810
because you courageously took up the mantle
of Itsukihime and I respected you for it.
25:12.650 --> 25:15.310
So if I make the choice to run away with you now,
25:15.980 --> 25:18.150
it would be a waste of all my training,
25:18.940 --> 25:21.190
and an affront to what you stand for.
25:22.150 --> 25:26.020
I... could never live with that.
25:27.100 --> 25:29.400
You and I are truly birds of a feather.
25:30.150 --> 25:35.400
When all's said and done, we can't help but prioritize
how we live our lives over who we live them with.
25:36.940 --> 25:39.270
I made the choice to become the Itsukihime.
25:40.230 --> 25:44.730
And I could never look you in the face again
if I cast that identity aside now.
25:45.690 --> 25:51.600
Because if following this path was just a mistake,
then the same would be true of my feelings for you.
25:53.520 --> 25:54.400
That's why...
25:55.190 --> 25:57.270
I will continue to live as the Itsukihime.
26:01.600 --> 26:05.980
So that my heart remains true,
and my love for you thrives until the very end.
26:06.850 --> 26:07.560
Okay.
26:08.310 --> 26:13.190
Then I'll do the same, and keep living as your sentinel
to protect you always.
26:13.980 --> 26:14.650
Okay.
26:29.270 --> 26:32.560
There have been two demons
sighted prowling the Tabu Forest.
26:33.060 --> 26:35.100
Kiyomasa shall stay here to guard Kadono.
26:35.600 --> 26:39.020
Meanwhile, you shall enter the forest
and fulfill your duties as sentinel.
26:39.400 --> 26:42.400
Understood. I shall slay these demons with all haste.
26:46.020 --> 26:47.730
May fortune be with you.
26:54.440 --> 26:55.100
Hey.
26:56.940 --> 26:57.690
Stop!
26:59.400 --> 27:01.020
What's with the silent act?
27:01.190 --> 27:03.190
You've heard the news about me and Byakuya, right?
27:04.150 --> 27:04.850
Yeah.
27:05.100 --> 27:06.850
And you're okay with it?!
27:07.190 --> 27:08.770
What the hell is going through your head?!
27:08.980 --> 27:12.730
Nothing. Only the happiness of our princess
and the peace of our village.
27:13.150 --> 27:15.190
Don't pretend you're not in love with her, too!
27:18.190 --> 27:20.190
How can you be all right with this?
27:21.690 --> 27:24.100
You're out of your mind, man.
27:25.230 --> 27:26.810
Yes, I'm well aware.
27:43.020 --> 27:45.060
Why hello there, little missy.
28:13.190 --> 28:16.100
Damn, that attack was supposed to blindside you.
28:16.560 --> 28:19.440
You're alone? I heard there were two of you.
28:19.940 --> 28:22.230
My companion had business in Kadono.
28:23.350 --> 28:24.150
I see.
29:06.980 --> 29:08.770
I knew this would be fun.
29:10.650 --> 29:15.650
We demons can easily live for more than a century,
while you humans only last for a fraction of that.
29:16.100 --> 29:22.100
And yet, humans can outlive themselves
by passing down their dreams and techniques to others.
29:23.060 --> 29:25.310
It's truly fascinating.
29:26.060 --> 29:27.690
I simply must know.
29:28.150 --> 29:30.900
Why do you wield that blade, human?
29:31.520 --> 29:35.440
You've defied nature to amass power, but for what end?
29:36.850 --> 29:37.900
For my people.
29:38.480 --> 29:41.100
I will cut down whoever threatens those I must protect!
29:41.980 --> 29:44.940
So, do you know what I am?
29:45.940 --> 29:46.900
A demon...
29:47.520 --> 29:49.810
Yep. The same as you.
29:50.150 --> 29:51.850
We're both demons.
29:52.350 --> 29:53.730
No! I'm not!
29:54.730 --> 29:55.770
I'm human...
29:59.150 --> 30:01.400
Sibling love. Isn't that just sweet?
30:01.810 --> 30:02.440
Huh?
30:02.560 --> 30:06.400
I mean, your love for your brother
is what compels you to be human, right?
30:06.940 --> 30:11.310
He must have been a very loyal defender
to make you feel that way.
30:11.520 --> 30:13.440
I honestly find it impressive.
30:15.310 --> 30:16.020
Mm-hm!
30:16.650 --> 30:18.770
You think the world of him, huh?
30:20.100 --> 30:21.230
Of course!
30:21.440 --> 30:23.150
Because he's my everything!
30:25.900 --> 30:27.730
A young woman at heart, I see.
30:32.060 --> 30:34.600
You might care to know that someone
is out to hurt your brother.
30:35.350 --> 30:37.440
Will you use your power to help me?
30:37.650 --> 30:39.270
My power?
30:39.480 --> 30:42.440
Yes. All you need to do is come with me.
30:43.400 --> 30:46.100
Don't worry. We demons never lie.
30:46.100 --> 30:48.400
I promise that I'm not going to hurt you.
30:50.940 --> 30:51.730
No way!
30:52.150 --> 30:55.940
Even if I know you won't hurt me,
you still might hurt my brother!
30:56.520 --> 30:57.400
That's fair.
30:58.350 --> 31:00.690
But will you feel the same after seeing this?
31:24.230 --> 31:25.350
What was that...?
31:25.940 --> 31:27.810
I have the power of foresight.
31:28.270 --> 31:33.770
And I can share my visions of the future with others,
although they only get a brief glimpse at it.
31:35.190 --> 31:37.690
That's NOT what I want to know! Was it real?!
31:38.020 --> 31:39.230
Did she really...?
31:40.980 --> 31:43.230
Oh, it's all very real.
31:43.520 --> 31:44.270
You're lying.
31:44.810 --> 31:46.060
Don't believe me?
31:46.560 --> 31:48.270
Then come along and see for yourself.
31:48.900 --> 31:49.560
Huh?
31:55.980 --> 31:57.440
Do it for your brother.
31:58.310 --> 31:59.940
For Jinta...?
32:27.690 --> 32:29.060
My turn to ask a question.
32:29.310 --> 32:32.060
Tell me, demon. Why do you bring harm to humans?
32:32.520 --> 32:34.270
Because of what I am.
32:34.600 --> 32:36.810
You mean to say demons kill humans by nature?
32:37.310 --> 32:38.060
Not really.
32:38.560 --> 32:41.940
But we exist to fulfill
an intended purpose and mine is here.
32:42.350 --> 32:46.400
Therefore, I work towards that end.
And I'm helpless to do anything else.
32:47.100 --> 32:49.900
Demons cannot defy their nature as demons.
32:51.810 --> 32:53.270
You can't exercise any restraint?
32:53.440 --> 32:55.400
We wouldn't be called demons otherwise.
32:56.190 --> 32:57.230
All right.
32:57.770 --> 32:59.230
Then I will show you no mercy.
32:59.440 --> 33:00.560
A wise choice.
33:01.310 --> 33:03.150
For I have the power of assimilation.
33:03.480 --> 33:05.940
I feast upon other demons to gain their power,
33:06.190 --> 33:09.190
which gives me such monstrous strength
that it alters my very anatomy!
34:06.230 --> 34:08.440
I have now fulfilled my purpose.
34:09.770 --> 34:13.690
The other demon I was working with
has the power of foresight.
34:14.150 --> 34:17.100
And she has seen far into the future.
34:17.230 --> 34:19.600
170 years, to be exact.
34:20.440 --> 34:26.190
When the advent of an evil deity who rules
over demonkind takes place here in Kadono.
34:27.100 --> 34:31.770
That's how we learned the demon of all demons
actually lives right in this village.
34:31.940 --> 34:34.850
It's the whole reason we came.
34:35.350 --> 34:38.150
A demon that lives in Kadono...?
34:44.480 --> 34:46.310
Take this, human.
34:46.940 --> 34:48.230
Consider it a parting gift.
34:51.900 --> 34:57.150
You said you wield that sword
for those you must protect.
34:57.650 --> 34:59.400
Now let me ask you a new question.
34:59.850 --> 35:04.810
What happens when those you've sworn to protect
are no longer worthy of that protection?
35:04.900 --> 35:07.770
Who will you cut down then?!
35:09.850 --> 35:13.310
Tell me, human. Why do you wield that blade?
35:15.520 --> 35:16.520
Kiyomasa?
35:17.560 --> 35:19.230
Stop! Now is not the time.
35:19.560 --> 35:21.730
At least wait until we know that Jinta is safe!
35:22.150 --> 35:23.650
Now is the best time.
35:24.020 --> 35:25.810
If we're lucky, this one night will be all it takes.
35:26.440 --> 35:30.600
Or do you want me to wait?
So that he can be around to hear you moaning?
35:32.190 --> 35:33.650
It's up to you.
35:35.980 --> 35:37.690
Well, I...
35:39.020 --> 35:40.400
But I'll get tougher!
35:40.690 --> 35:44.770
I'm going to follow in Motoharu-san's footsteps
and train hard until I can defeat any demon.
35:57.310 --> 36:00.270
I chose this path for the sake of Kadono.
36:09.230 --> 36:11.770
And this is what the Itsukihime must do.
36:12.400 --> 36:14.230
Y-you're both crazy...
36:23.690 --> 36:26.480
See? It wasn't an illusion.
36:35.980 --> 36:37.770
Suzu-chan...?
36:39.730 --> 36:42.650
Why, princess? Why?
36:48.270 --> 36:49.520
I'm not dead...
37:02.730 --> 37:03.600
Suzune!
37:13.520 --> 37:16.850
I thought you were in love with Jinta, princess.
37:17.310 --> 37:21.440
But it looks like you're willing to settle for any guy, huh?
37:21.600 --> 37:22.480
N-no!
37:22.480 --> 37:23.520
Then explain this!
37:24.270 --> 37:25.900
What are you doing?!
37:27.020 --> 37:29.310
What did I suffer for?
37:32.400 --> 37:35.310
No matter how much it tore my heart apart,
37:35.940 --> 37:40.480
I still pushed for you and Jinta
to be together with everything I had.
37:41.060 --> 37:44.810
Because I knew it would make him happy.
37:45.560 --> 37:47.020
That was the only reason.
37:47.730 --> 37:51.270
Seeing him get close to anyone
would have been unbearable otherwise!
37:51.770 --> 37:54.940
But after all that... you do this?!
37:57.150 --> 37:59.350
Suzu-chan, I see now...
38:00.350 --> 38:01.650
You did it for Jinta.
38:02.350 --> 38:03.810
You truly love him.
38:04.480 --> 38:09.900
That's why you kept your body and mind
from ever growing, to stay as his little sister, right?
38:10.480 --> 38:13.850
I believed in you. I was ready to grin and bear it.
38:14.350 --> 38:15.350
But after this?!
38:15.730 --> 38:16.520
I'm sorry.
38:17.480 --> 38:21.150
But there is only one person who I can be now.
38:22.400 --> 38:24.810
I must live as the Itsukihime to preserve Kadono's legacy.
38:25.520 --> 38:29.100
Because that's the only way I can think of
to properly repay his feelings.
38:31.480 --> 38:33.100
Are you serious?
38:37.480 --> 38:41.350
You took everything that I ever wanted,
38:41.730 --> 38:44.650
and now you're going to throw it away
for a bunch of nobodies?
38:45.810 --> 38:48.400
How dare you? How dare you?
38:58.020 --> 39:01.770
Do you just enjoy making me look like a fool or what?!
39:01.770 --> 39:02.810
Listen, I...
39:05.060 --> 39:07.940
Shut that rotten mouth of yours right now.
39:08.560 --> 39:11.400
See? Everything I told you was true.
39:11.850 --> 39:14.190
The princess here is a no-good bitch.
39:14.730 --> 39:16.310
She's not worth saving.
39:16.600 --> 39:21.810
Your darling brother is out there risking his life for her,
yet she's here stabbing him in the back.
39:22.020 --> 39:25.310
She thinks it's hilarious to watch him fight so hard
without knowing the truth.
39:22.480 --> 39:25.310
Suzu-chan! Don't listen to that monster!
39:25.600 --> 39:30.940
Suzu-chan! Look at me! Please, Suzu-chan! Suzu-chan!
39:25.600 --> 39:30.940
Doesn't it just make you angry that your brother
has to get hurt on behalf of this despicable whore?
39:31.520 --> 39:35.850
So, let's think. What can you do to help your brother out?
39:31.520 --> 39:34.850
That demon is lying to you! Don't believe her!
39:36.980 --> 39:40.350
Here's an idea: Maybe it's better if she's dead.
39:41.100 --> 39:43.230
Suzu-chan! Please no!
40:03.690 --> 40:04.940
Suzu-chan?
40:05.730 --> 40:07.770
Whatever, princess.
40:08.060 --> 40:09.020
Just die.
40:12.810 --> 40:14.520
Not so fast, playboy.
40:14.810 --> 40:17.190
This is a fight between women only!
40:21.400 --> 40:23.850
You should have the power to draw that sword now.
40:24.310 --> 40:29.190
And I bet the princess will die happy knowing that she
was killed by the very blade her people worshipped.
40:30.190 --> 40:32.480
I still have my uses for this guy, though.
40:35.980 --> 40:37.150
Enjoy yourselves!
40:44.850 --> 40:46.310
This is gonna be fun.
40:47.100 --> 40:48.310
Suzu-chan...?
40:56.520 --> 40:57.900
Shirayuki! Suzune!
41:19.100 --> 41:20.900
Shirayuki...?
41:29.560 --> 41:32.100
Welcome back! I hope you're not hurt!
41:40.850 --> 41:42.480
I'm going to become the Itsukihime.
41:40.850 --> 41:42.480
Let's be friends, okay?
41:42.600 --> 41:45.770
I'm trying to be a good big sister and cheer you up.
41:43.400 --> 41:44.520
I slipped away!
41:44.520 --> 41:45.770
We're all going to be family.
41:46.020 --> 41:48.310
I love you, Jinta.
42:11.020 --> 42:13.650
That was close! What's the big idea?
42:20.150 --> 42:22.100
Are you okay, Jinta?
42:22.190 --> 42:23.440
Did something happen?
42:25.520 --> 42:26.850
Is that you, Suzune...?
42:27.020 --> 42:27.690
Yeah!
42:28.520 --> 42:29.310
Really?
42:29.770 --> 42:31.020
Yeah, obviously!
42:32.020 --> 42:32.730
Then why?
42:33.310 --> 42:35.270
Why did you do that to Shirayuki?
42:36.230 --> 42:38.150
What's with the long face?
42:38.600 --> 42:40.650
I killed the princess for you.
42:40.900 --> 42:42.350
You should be smiling!
42:42.520 --> 42:44.480
How does that make sense...?
42:45.020 --> 42:48.940
Oh, let me explain. The princess was
going to get married to some other guy.
42:49.310 --> 42:53.690
She was just a no-good cheating bitch
who totally lied about being in love with you.
42:54.060 --> 42:57.440
So there's no reason for you to feel sad!
42:58.810 --> 43:00.520
Please, just stop...
43:01.940 --> 43:05.400
Oh no, don't tell me you still love her?
43:06.020 --> 43:09.850
Even though she stabbed you in the back?
You're really going to mourn her?
43:10.850 --> 43:12.230
Oh! But wait!
43:12.480 --> 43:18.150
Now that she's dead, you don't have to go through
the stress of watching her marry that other guy!
43:18.600 --> 43:19.810
Isn't that great?
43:21.690 --> 43:24.400
Hey, can we go home now? I'm exhausted!
43:24.650 --> 43:25.940
"Exhausted"?
43:26.230 --> 43:29.350
Yep! There were a lot of annoyances to get rid of.
43:29.650 --> 43:33.230
You betrayed the good people of Kadono
who raised us like their own,
43:33.560 --> 43:35.020
and even killed Shirayuki.
43:35.650 --> 43:39.520
Everything is in ruins and you have nothing
to say for yourself except you're "exhausted'?!
43:40.020 --> 43:41.350
Uh, is that a problem?
43:42.730 --> 43:44.100
Ah, I get it...
43:46.190 --> 43:51.150
The Suzune who I knew is already long gone, isn't she?
43:59.600 --> 44:00.770
Jinta?
44:02.810 --> 44:04.100
I'm so pathetic.
44:05.730 --> 44:08.770
Literally everything has slipped through my fingers.
44:17.150 --> 44:18.230
No, wait.
44:19.060 --> 44:21.560
I guess I do have one thing left.
44:22.270 --> 44:25.270
I don't understand. Why are you looking at me like that?
44:24.150 --> 44:27.810
My pure hatred for anything and everything.
44:25.600 --> 44:27.810
I only did this to make you happy!
44:27.810 --> 44:29.350
That's why I killed that slut!
44:29.350 --> 44:30.770
Enough! Shut up!
44:40.770 --> 44:41.770
Oh, I see.
44:43.020 --> 44:45.810
You're going to abandon me just like everyone else, huh?
44:47.650 --> 44:50.100
You know, I thought you were different.
44:50.560 --> 44:53.770
That you of all people would always be on my side.
44:55.350 --> 44:56.270
Fine then.
44:56.690 --> 44:59.100
I don't need you. I'm done having faith!
44:59.560 --> 45:04.690
You were my everything, but if you can't appreciate me
for who I am, then to hell with it!
45:05.560 --> 45:06.480
Screw this world!
45:07.100 --> 45:08.480
AND SCREW YOU!
45:12.230 --> 45:13.730
Why don't you just give up?!
45:13.850 --> 45:16.520
There's no point in wasting your life! Not anymore!
45:16.520 --> 45:17.770
I told you to shut up!
45:25.690 --> 45:26.650
Fine.
45:26.980 --> 45:28.060
Then die!
45:46.020 --> 45:47.940
Okay, then go right ahead.
45:47.940 --> 45:49.650
Smack me if you can.
46:03.730 --> 46:04.980
That wasn't enough?
46:07.310 --> 46:08.310
All right, then.
46:20.730 --> 46:21.900
You damn demons!
46:24.230 --> 46:25.400
Run along, dear.
46:42.400 --> 46:43.900
Wait, Suzune!
46:45.150 --> 46:47.730
I hate everything now.
46:48.190 --> 46:50.190
So I'm just going to rip it to shreds.
46:50.690 --> 46:56.650
People, nations, and every last thing
that exists in this world. I will destroy it all.
46:57.350 --> 46:58.520
Remember me.
46:59.310 --> 47:05.020
Because no matter how much time passes,
I'll be coming to pay you one last visit before the end.
47:11.310 --> 47:13.480
Oh yes! Sweet victory!
47:14.100 --> 47:16.810
I have now fulfilled my purpose!
47:19.730 --> 47:22.770
This is what you monsters consider your purpose?
47:22.900 --> 47:24.150
Mindless bloodshed?!
47:25.650 --> 47:26.520
That's right.
47:27.650 --> 47:29.270
I've seen the future.
47:29.900 --> 47:33.810
We demons can't hope to keep up
with how quickly the times will change.
47:34.350 --> 47:37.980
The darkness will get illuminated
by manmade light, robbing us of our homes.
47:38.650 --> 47:43.190
And eventually, "demons" will be nothing more
than myths from the days of old.
47:44.310 --> 47:45.310
But now...
47:46.350 --> 47:47.810
I can die happy.
47:48.520 --> 47:50.650
The future of my brethren is secure.
48:17.980 --> 48:22.100
Some sentinel that I am. After all my tough talk...
48:22.980 --> 48:25.230
I couldn't do a single damn thing.
48:25.770 --> 48:27.480
I protected nothing!
48:29.100 --> 48:33.150
Shirayuki... I loved you so much.
49:28.940 --> 49:31.900
DANGO
49:30.020 --> 49:31.310
I'm leaving Kadono.
49:32.690 --> 49:34.810
I must retrain myself from scratch.
49:35.730 --> 49:38.770
And prepare to fend off the demon god
that will unleash their wrath upon this land.
49:39.770 --> 49:40.850
Are you sure?
49:41.190 --> 49:44.480
Because if that story is true,
I can only assume the demon god is...
49:44.480 --> 49:46.850
I must end this, one way or another.
49:47.230 --> 49:50.150
So, you'll surrender to rage and kill your own sister?
49:50.650 --> 49:53.850
Come now, Jinta. Surely that isn't
what your heart desires.
49:54.020 --> 49:56.190
Suzune is my darling sister.
49:56.520 --> 49:57.900
But I loved Shirayuki, too.
49:58.440 --> 50:00.650
And I can't help but hate her murderer.
50:01.270 --> 50:03.810
I am consumed by malice that speaks to me even now.
50:04.560 --> 50:05.900
Urging me to kill Suzune.
50:07.600 --> 50:12.480
However... if it's possible,
I do wish to find a peaceful solution.
50:13.190 --> 50:18.190
Now that you've turned into a demon,
I thought slaughter was all you would care for.
50:18.770 --> 50:22.400
But it seems you still have some decency left in you.
50:23.440 --> 50:24.690
Please take this.
50:30.900 --> 50:31.810
Try to unsheathe it.
50:40.060 --> 50:43.100
This now makes you the owner of Yarai.
50:43.900 --> 50:47.270
Which means we should follow tradition
and add the "night" kanji to your name.
50:47.520 --> 50:49.900
From here on out, you will be "Jinya."
50:50.270 --> 50:52.600
But, sir, it's not right for me to have this...
50:52.980 --> 50:58.400
The Itsukihime lineage has ended,
so that blade will only gather dust in the shrine.
50:58.770 --> 51:00.730
It's better off in your hands now.
51:01.480 --> 51:05.650
Besides, I'm sure the princess can rest happier that way.
51:10.230 --> 51:11.150
Please forgive me!
51:12.230 --> 51:16.850
I knew all about the love
that you and the princess shared with each other!
51:17.100 --> 51:21.560
But at the same time,
I knew that Kiyomasa had feelings for her.
51:22.230 --> 51:24.730
Although I claimed it was for the sake of Kadono,
51:24.850 --> 51:29.650
I really only pushed for their marriage
because I wanted my son to be happy!
51:30.600 --> 51:33.560
This tragedy falls on my shoulders.
51:41.230 --> 51:46.310
If you intend to revisit Kadono many moons in the future,
51:46.560 --> 51:49.850
then the least I can do is atone
by erecting a shrine in your honor.
51:50.230 --> 51:53.100
It shall be called... the Jinta Shrine.
51:54.060 --> 51:58.270
Although people and towns
never last as long as demons do,
51:58.810 --> 52:02.440
there are some things we can make in our short lives
that withstand the test the time.
52:04.190 --> 52:05.350
Jinta-nii!
52:06.900 --> 52:08.440
You're really leaving?
52:09.690 --> 52:13.310
In my eyes, you're still the same person
that you've always been!
52:18.440 --> 52:21.850
I'll be back again.
Save some isobe mochi for me, will you?
52:22.810 --> 52:24.100
Do you promise?
52:24.440 --> 52:26.400
Because I'm holding you to that!
52:42.600 --> 52:44.020
I understand now.
52:44.690 --> 52:49.400
I know why that demon seemed so content
as it claimed it had "fulfilled its purpose."
52:51.770 --> 52:54.690
170 years, huh?
52:59.730 --> 53:04.400
I always thought the events of the distant past
had nothing to do with me.
53:05.480 --> 53:08.400
But, as it turns out, the reason behind his tears..
53:08.400 --> 53:09.440
Pardon me.
53:09.900 --> 53:12.810
...was directly connected to the reason
that I'm here right now.
53:13.100 --> 53:14.940
Are you the Miko of this shrine?
53:15.400 --> 53:17.270
I would soon come to learn...
53:17.850 --> 53:21.400
...all about the long journey that he had taken...
53:22.060 --> 53:23.770
...for the past 170 years.
