WEBVTT
00:05.560 --> 00:07.730
MIZUHO
00:05.560 --> 00:07.730
TEMPLE
02:00.810 --> 02:02.980
Welcome back, Tsuchiura.
02:02.980 --> 02:04.650
How did it go?
02:04.650 --> 02:06.400
My apologies, Master.
02:06.400 --> 02:09.400
I'm afraid that Naotsugu Miura
escaped from me.
02:09.690 --> 02:11.600
There is no excuse for my failure.
02:11.600 --> 02:14.690
I will accept whatever punishment
you deem fit.
02:15.810 --> 02:20.900
Come now, Tsuchiura.
I have never doubted your loyalty to me.
02:20.900 --> 02:23.980
A single failed mission
does nothing to shake that faith.
02:23.980 --> 02:27.810
Just make up for it
when the next opportunity arises.
02:27.810 --> 02:30.060
Yessir. Thank you very much.
02:30.060 --> 02:32.150
Naotsugu Miura
won't escape alive next time.
02:32.150 --> 02:33.810
You can forget about him.
02:33.810 --> 02:37.190
I need you to go to Kyoto instead.
02:37.480 --> 02:38.810
Kyoto?
02:39.150 --> 02:41.400
The situation there is tumultuous.
02:41.400 --> 02:43.690
My lord has been using the Shinsengumi
02:43.690 --> 02:46.770
to police Kyoto and
keep the imperialist at bay,
02:46.770 --> 02:48.850
but the tides are shifting against them.
02:48.850 --> 02:51.020
And that's where you come in.
02:51.600 --> 02:54.440
I've already sent about
100 demons to Kyoto.
02:51.600 --> 02:56.190
WOVEN BY A SINGLE THREAD
02:54.440 --> 02:56.230
They are only lesser demons,
02:56.230 --> 02:59.940
but I want you to take command of them
to strike down the enemy.
03:00.440 --> 03:01.440
Yessir.
03:01.440 --> 03:04.980
But if I may, how did you get
100 demons on your side?
03:04.980 --> 03:08.730
Easily enough.
Thanks to a certain mystical sake.
03:08.730 --> 03:13.060
Although, it's become impossible
to obtain now.
03:15.600 --> 03:17.560
Understood.
03:21.770 --> 03:25.440
Master Yasuhide.
May I ask you just one thing?
03:25.440 --> 03:26.850
Go ahead.
03:27.350 --> 03:30.730
Why was it necessary for me to attack
Naotsugu Miura in front of that man
03:30.730 --> 03:34.060
at the cost of exposing my true form?
03:34.310 --> 03:36.480
Because necessity demanded it.
03:36.480 --> 03:39.060
Or is that answer
not satisfying enough for you?
03:39.650 --> 03:40.560
No, sir.
03:40.560 --> 03:42.940
Then go fulfill your duty, Tsuchiura.
03:42.940 --> 03:44.060
Yessir.
03:45.310 --> 03:49.100
I will see to it that everyone who stands
against you is dead and buried, Master.
04:09.350 --> 04:11.020
Look! It's the demon kid!
04:11.020 --> 04:12.100
Stop that!
04:12.100 --> 04:14.020
You don't know what he'll do
if you get too close!
04:14.020 --> 04:16.270
Neener, neener! Freaky creature!
04:16.270 --> 04:19.020
Enough! Do as I say, young man!
04:19.020 --> 04:20.060
Now let's go!
04:20.060 --> 04:21.770
But, Mom, just look at him!
04:21.770 --> 04:24.270
No more! You're going to worry me sick!
04:51.770 --> 04:53.100
Nomari...
04:56.980 --> 04:59.560
Yet another thing I've lost.
05:06.810 --> 05:08.940
Winter daphnes?
05:13.520 --> 05:15.190
I've been looking all over.
05:15.190 --> 05:17.230
You just vanished without a word.
05:20.650 --> 05:22.980
So, this is where you've been?
05:23.480 --> 05:25.980
I'm surprised you knew where to find me.
05:26.270 --> 05:28.310
I had no idea, actually.
05:28.310 --> 05:33.560
I just went around to every place
that I imagined you might go.
05:38.310 --> 05:39.900
Are you okay?
05:40.400 --> 05:43.350
I'm not flimsy enough
to die from a few hits.
05:43.350 --> 05:45.150
That's not what I meant.
05:50.940 --> 05:53.190
What are you going to do now?
05:53.190 --> 05:56.600
Kill Tsuchiura. The demon from earlier.
05:57.690 --> 05:59.150
That's absurd.
05:59.150 --> 06:03.770
You couldn't even leave a mark on him
when you two fought, remember?
06:03.770 --> 06:08.690
Even so, I can't afford to back down
in pursuit of my goal.
06:10.690 --> 06:12.100
Jinya-kun...
06:13.310 --> 06:15.520
I've always wanted to ask.
06:15.520 --> 06:18.440
Why are you so driven to fight demons?
06:22.560 --> 06:25.690
It all goes back twenty some years ago...
06:26.310 --> 06:29.980
when I lived in a blacksmithing village
known as Kadono.
06:30.310 --> 06:35.100
I had no talent for forging swords,
but I was good at wielding them.
06:35.650 --> 06:38.900
So I was assigned
to guard the village shrine maiden.
06:39.520 --> 06:41.480
Her name was Byakuya.
06:42.350 --> 06:45.230
You loved her, I'm guessing?
06:46.020 --> 06:47.150
Yeah.
06:47.940 --> 06:51.850
She gave up her own happiness
for the sake of Kadono.
06:51.850 --> 06:53.400
And became the shrine maiden.
06:54.100 --> 06:56.350
Her actions struck a chord with me,
06:56.350 --> 06:58.940
so I wished for nothing
other than to keep her safe.
07:01.350 --> 07:05.230
Until one day,
Kadono came under attack by demons.
07:05.230 --> 07:08.100
Even though I was supposed
to be her sentinel,
07:08.690 --> 07:11.020
I couldn't save her from death.
07:11.020 --> 07:13.310
That was the day I lost everything.
07:14.100 --> 07:16.150
It left me full of rage.
07:16.150 --> 07:18.480
I hated the demon who did it.
07:19.190 --> 07:21.020
A century from now,
07:21.020 --> 07:24.440
that same one is destined to become
an evil deity who rules over demonkind
07:24.440 --> 07:28.230
and will return to Kadono
before laying waste to the world.
07:29.150 --> 07:31.060
I must stop that demon god.
07:31.060 --> 07:33.480
It's the sole reason for my existence.
07:34.270 --> 07:38.810
That's why I hunted demons
to consume them and steal their power.
07:39.480 --> 07:41.900
I wanted to become
a force to be reckoned with.
07:42.900 --> 07:45.980
The name of the demon
who killed Byakuya is Suzune.
07:46.690 --> 07:48.600
She's my little sister.
07:50.440 --> 07:57.400
So, you're saying the reason you wanted
so much power was to kill your own sister?
07:57.600 --> 07:59.020
Who knows.
08:00.440 --> 08:02.730
You're not going to answer me, huh?
08:03.150 --> 08:04.600
I'm sorry.
08:04.600 --> 08:06.440
I'm not trying to deflect.
08:06.440 --> 08:09.020
I honestly don't know what to say.
08:09.020 --> 08:12.310
Then let me ask you a different question.
08:12.480 --> 08:14.940
I understand you fight to gain power.
08:14.940 --> 08:18.310
As part of the larger goal
of stopping your sister.
08:18.690 --> 08:22.810
But why exactly do you
feel the need to stop Suzune?
08:23.310 --> 08:26.310
You might be forced to kill her.
08:26.310 --> 08:28.900
And I can't understand
why you would choose
08:28.900 --> 08:30.940
to follow this path in spite of that.
08:30.940 --> 08:31.850
Well, I...
08:32.060 --> 08:35.020
Are you fighting to protect other people?
08:35.020 --> 08:36.900
Or to satisfy your hatred?
08:36.900 --> 08:40.060
Is it revenge that
you ultimately want from all this?
08:40.980 --> 08:42.190
No.
08:42.520 --> 08:45.940
I'm not doing it for
righteousness or revenge.
08:46.400 --> 08:50.100
Even now, Suzune holds
a very special place in my heart.
08:50.100 --> 08:52.900
But the rage won't let me go.
08:52.900 --> 08:57.730
I'm still consumed by hatred for her,
enough to make me bloodthirsty.
08:57.730 --> 09:01.400
Yet at the same time,
a part of me hesitates to kill her.
09:01.400 --> 09:04.810
Despite all the decades
that I've been alive,
09:04.810 --> 09:07.190
I can't even figure out
what my heart truly want from me.
09:09.480 --> 09:12.230
But I swore to stop her, regardless.
09:12.230 --> 09:13.850
And I'm certain
09:13.850 --> 09:17.190
that desire didn't come from a
savior complex or my hatred of Suzune.
09:17.190 --> 09:22.020
I merely wanted to put a satisfying period
on my way of life.
09:22.810 --> 09:25.400
What I truly wanted to kill...
09:25.400 --> 09:27.560
was that flawed part of me.
09:29.560 --> 09:32.020
I'm so pathetic.
09:32.900 --> 09:36.310
The reality is while I wanted to kill her
from hatred on one hand,
09:36.310 --> 09:39.350
I wanted save her
through forgiveness on the other.
09:39.350 --> 09:41.230
But in the end,
09:41.230 --> 09:45.310
those were just excuses I made
to avoid dealing with my own spinelessness.
09:46.440 --> 09:49.230
I can already tell this rage
will never subside
09:49.230 --> 09:51.850
and will lead me
to the worst possible outcome.
09:52.770 --> 09:55.810
My way of life was a mistake.
09:56.520 --> 09:57.940
I'm glad.
09:59.230 --> 10:03.730
You're still the same Jinya-kun
who I've always known.
10:03.730 --> 10:07.020
You're a good person
who can admit when they're wrong.
10:07.690 --> 10:11.480
But tell me, is being in the right
really so important?
10:11.480 --> 10:12.980
Remember my dad?
10:12.980 --> 10:16.520
He literally abandoned
everything he had just for me.
10:17.190 --> 10:19.350
Looking back at it now,
10:19.350 --> 10:23.900
I think that was the wrong choice
for any normal person to make.
10:23.900 --> 10:25.270
But it's because...
10:25.270 --> 10:26.480
No.
10:26.480 --> 10:30.480
It doesn't matter what his reasons were.
They don't justify his choice.
10:30.480 --> 10:33.940
Since there are still people out there
who suffered as a result.
10:36.690 --> 10:39.690
Still, he did save me.
10:39.940 --> 10:42.770
You have to realize that
doing the right thing in the right way
10:42.770 --> 10:45.600
doesn't always lead to a perfect outcome.
10:46.230 --> 10:47.810
At the very least,
10:47.810 --> 10:52.350
I'm able to be here today
because that's where his mistake led me.
10:55.020 --> 10:57.690
Waging a war to kill your sister.
10:57.690 --> 11:00.310
Consuming demons for their power.
11:00.310 --> 11:02.600
You do all of that in service to yourself.
11:02.940 --> 11:04.850
So, you're right.
11:04.850 --> 11:08.190
The path you've taken
and the events that put you on it,
11:08.190 --> 11:10.060
those were all mistakes.
11:10.900 --> 11:15.100
But even so, there are people
who were saved by your actions.
11:18.150 --> 11:19.650
Why are you here?
11:20.230 --> 11:21.480
Please forgive me.
11:21.480 --> 11:24.020
We've been eavesdropping for awhile now.
11:25.190 --> 11:29.900
Miura-sama has been helping me
look for you with Nomari-chan.
11:30.270 --> 11:32.100
Because he wanted to apologize.
11:33.190 --> 11:34.940
I'll be frank.
11:34.940 --> 11:37.480
Your demonic form terrifies me.
11:37.480 --> 11:40.560
The fear of facing something drastically
more powerful than any mere man
11:40.560 --> 11:42.650
caused me to run away.
11:44.690 --> 11:47.770
As you can see, I'm a monster.
11:47.770 --> 11:50.020
It's not wrong for you to feel that way.
11:50.020 --> 11:51.060
No!
11:51.350 --> 11:53.690
I've seen you agonize
over doing what is right,
11:53.690 --> 11:58.900
yet still brave mortal danger
to stay true to your path in life.
11:58.900 --> 12:01.270
You and I are the same in that respect.
12:01.770 --> 12:06.730
Although you may be a demon,
you have never been a monster!
12:07.270 --> 12:08.560
Jin-dono!
12:08.560 --> 12:10.770
You are my good friend.
12:11.650 --> 12:14.060
I know I ran away once.
12:14.060 --> 12:16.440
But I never want to do it again.
12:16.650 --> 12:18.440
I would like...
12:18.440 --> 12:20.810
to stay your friend until the very end!
12:24.650 --> 12:26.020
Daddy!
12:36.560 --> 12:38.020
Nomari...
12:38.020 --> 12:40.020
don't I scare you?
12:41.020 --> 12:44.350
I'm not scared!
Because you're my daddy!
12:44.350 --> 12:47.940
So please don't disappear again!
12:56.020 --> 12:58.600
Always the doting dad, aren't you?
12:58.600 --> 12:59.940
That's for sure.
12:59.940 --> 13:03.900
All it takes is the word "daddy"
for him to go all soft and schmaltzy.
13:14.940 --> 13:18.310
This little scene is what
all your mistakes gave birth to.
13:18.310 --> 13:21.440
See? Not so bad after all, is it?
13:22.560 --> 13:24.900
Yeah, you're right.
13:26.020 --> 13:27.850
It really is.
13:34.270 --> 13:35.690
I'll admit it.
13:35.940 --> 13:39.350
Justifying everything about myself
with hatred as an excuse...
13:39.350 --> 13:42.900
that lifestyle was a mistake
from the beginning.
13:43.100 --> 13:44.310
However,
13:44.310 --> 13:47.980
accepting that won't change the fact
the demon god is coming in the future.
13:48.600 --> 13:51.440
In all likelihood,
hatred will continue to consume me
13:51.440 --> 13:53.940
until Suzune and I face off
in a battle to the death.
13:54.400 --> 13:55.650
Considering that...
13:56.400 --> 13:58.440
is it truly all right for me
13:58.440 --> 14:01.440
to reach out with this hand once more
and dream of being a guardian?
14:01.650 --> 14:05.690
You've already kept many people
and things safe from harm.
14:05.690 --> 14:08.690
You just refused to believe it.
14:09.810 --> 14:11.150
I see.
14:18.440 --> 14:20.350
Well, I should get going.
14:23.100 --> 14:24.400
I'm sorry.
14:25.190 --> 14:27.230
I always have to rely on you in the end.
14:28.100 --> 14:29.690
Don't worry about it.
14:29.690 --> 14:31.520
Fight fire with fire, as they say.
14:31.520 --> 14:33.730
Best to let a demon to hunt the demons.
14:33.730 --> 14:35.020
Please forgive-
14:35.020 --> 14:36.150
Never mind.
14:36.150 --> 14:37.900
Thank you!
14:38.150 --> 14:40.690
I am going to fulfill my purpose.
14:40.690 --> 14:42.100
You should do the same.
14:42.100 --> 14:45.060
Uphold your duty both as a human
and a samurai.
14:45.440 --> 14:46.650
Daddy!
14:46.900 --> 14:48.230
Daddy!
14:50.980 --> 14:52.060
Ofuu.
14:52.060 --> 14:53.770
Watch after Nomari for me.
14:56.190 --> 14:59.100
You're not going
to disappear again, right?
14:59.100 --> 15:00.480
Yeah.
15:00.480 --> 15:02.770
No more playing hide and seek.
15:02.770 --> 15:04.980
So be a good girl and wait for me, okay?
15:04.980 --> 15:07.310
'Kay, Daddy!
15:13.900 --> 15:17.900
Good luck! Please come back safe!
15:18.190 --> 15:19.690
We'll be waiting!
15:27.310 --> 15:29.810
Yo, Tsuchiura! Glad you made it.
15:34.230 --> 15:37.900
As taciturn as ever, I see.
15:41.560 --> 15:42.980
This is the second one.
15:42.980 --> 15:45.770
I played a little
with the temper pattern this time.
15:45.770 --> 15:48.100
I made it a mix of waves and streaks.
15:48.100 --> 15:51.650
It's stylish and sleek,
just like a fine woman.
15:52.520 --> 15:55.730
You better leave it at that, Kaneomi.
15:55.730 --> 15:57.730
You're making your pupil uncomfortable.
15:57.730 --> 16:00.520
Aw, come on, Yato! Just look at it!
16:00.520 --> 16:03.150
This is the sexiest blade I've made.
16:03.400 --> 16:06.730
And you wonder why
people call you a weirdo.
16:06.900 --> 16:09.100
What are you giving me the stink eye for?
16:09.100 --> 16:10.810
You're my wife, aren'tcha?
16:11.850 --> 16:13.850
Not you, too, buddy!
16:14.230 --> 16:15.770
Sorry, I didn't mean to...
16:20.730 --> 16:23.150
Oh! Your little lady friend is here.
16:23.150 --> 16:26.150
Yeesh.
Always gotta flaunt your stuff, don'tcha?
16:26.150 --> 16:27.270
All right.
16:27.270 --> 16:30.600
Guess you can head out a little early today,
once we finish cleaning up.
16:30.850 --> 16:31.940
But sir...
16:31.940 --> 16:33.560
You heard me.
16:33.900 --> 16:36.060
There's no need to feel bad.
16:36.060 --> 16:38.150
We could all use a break once in a while.
16:40.810 --> 16:42.270
All right.
16:42.270 --> 16:44.310
Then, if you insist...
16:44.650 --> 16:45.650
Great!
16:45.650 --> 16:47.600
But just one thing.
16:47.600 --> 16:50.690
Why do you always listen to what she says?
16:50.690 --> 16:52.850
I'm supposed to be in charge, y'know!
17:21.690 --> 17:23.150
Took you long enough.
17:23.150 --> 17:24.480
You again.
17:25.560 --> 17:27.150
I've been waiting.
17:32.310 --> 17:35.690
Not long ago, I had a little chat
with a group of demons.
17:35.690 --> 17:37.730
Seems you're heading for Kyoto, eh?
17:39.270 --> 17:41.060
You defeated them?
17:41.060 --> 17:44.060
It took longer than expected,
but they made for a good warm up.
17:44.810 --> 17:46.270
Why?
17:46.270 --> 17:50.810
Why would you kill your own brethren
just to get in the way of Master Yasuhide?
17:51.020 --> 17:53.310
Now that you've been
publicly exposed as a demon,
17:53.310 --> 17:56.270
you should have no reason to fight
on behalf of the humans.
17:56.270 --> 17:58.810
I don't understand your objective.
17:59.440 --> 18:01.440
Ideology isn't my thing.
18:01.440 --> 18:04.310
Kick the foreigners out or don't.
It matters little to me.
18:05.270 --> 18:07.560
At least, that's what I thought...
18:08.400 --> 18:14.150
but it turns out that I really hate how
Yasuhide Hatakeyama conducts his business.
18:17.020 --> 18:19.940
The strife happening in Kyoto
is between humans.
18:19.940 --> 18:22.060
They're fighting to decide
this country's future.
18:22.060 --> 18:25.690
We monsters have no place in that.
18:25.690 --> 18:27.650
And that's why you're doing this?
18:27.650 --> 18:28.690
No.
18:28.980 --> 18:31.440
I'm not that much of a whimsical meddler.
18:31.440 --> 18:33.690
My reason is far more simple.
18:34.310 --> 18:36.650
I have a friend
on the battlefield of Kyoto.
18:36.650 --> 18:38.440
So I can't let you pass.
18:39.690 --> 18:41.310
Are you serious?
18:41.310 --> 18:44.190
I thought I had no right to take a stand.
18:44.850 --> 18:49.020
I'm a monster of hatred
out to kill his own sister, after all.
18:49.020 --> 18:52.270
The idea seemed so ridiculous
I couldn't even say it aloud.
18:53.310 --> 18:56.480
But someone helped me realize
there are lives that can be saved
18:56.480 --> 18:58.060
even in the face of my mistakes.
18:59.190 --> 19:00.270
So...
19:00.940 --> 19:05.150
I am going to stay the course
with a little show of grit.
19:05.150 --> 19:08.480
And in the name
of all that I wish to protect...
19:10.270 --> 19:13.020
I shall wield this blade once more!
19:13.600 --> 19:14.770
Very well.
19:30.940 --> 19:34.230
So, you have a set of tenets
that you believe in, too?
19:34.480 --> 19:35.400
Yeah.
19:35.400 --> 19:37.440
I'm not going to be the one
who backs down.
19:38.020 --> 19:39.690
Well, neither am I.
19:45.230 --> 19:45.690
I'll crush you!
19:45.690 --> 19:46.400
I'll crush you!
19:45.690 --> 19:46.400
I'll kill you!
20:10.650 --> 20:13.020
Try all you like, it's pointless!
20:13.020 --> 20:14.440
That's what you think.
20:14.440 --> 20:18.100
I know your power
can make your body harder than steel.
20:18.100 --> 20:22.060
But you sacrifice
all of your mobility while using it.
20:22.350 --> 20:23.850
And so what?
20:23.850 --> 20:28.190
Even if that's true, it doesn't change
the fact that you can't hurt me!
20:47.730 --> 20:49.810
Like I said, it's pointless.
20:56.270 --> 20:59.690
You have absolute confidence
in your indomitability,
20:59.690 --> 21:02.190
which is why you took my attack head on.
21:02.190 --> 21:06.520
Sure, I may not have any tricks
up my sleeve that can breach your defense.
21:06.520 --> 21:09.060
But luckily, I don't need to.
21:09.440 --> 21:12.600
Because I have the ability
to absorb your power instead!
21:15.940 --> 21:17.100
Assimilation.
21:31.940 --> 21:34.810
People are saying
the Imperial Regent passed away.
21:34.810 --> 21:38.270
So it seems like the reign
of Toyotomi is now at an end.
21:38.270 --> 21:40.190
The world will get violent again.
21:42.480 --> 21:46.020
Soon enough, I'm sure a war
will break out to shape the next era.
21:46.400 --> 21:48.650
Which means the smithery
will get busy, too.
21:53.100 --> 21:54.350
What's wrong?
21:55.730 --> 21:58.560
Nothing. I'm fine.
22:00.560 --> 22:03.310
I'm here to listen if you need
to get something off your chest.
22:04.730 --> 22:06.060
All right.
22:07.150 --> 22:09.350
Then, hear me out...
