WEBVTT

00:26.214 --> 00:28.007
Isn't this odd, Hyakka?

00:28.466 --> 00:29.425
What do you mean?

00:30.301 --> 00:32.720
The massacre in Hitokabe Village

00:33.179 --> 00:35.014
happened less than
three days ago, yet...

00:35.932 --> 00:39.477
there isn't a single reporter
or police officer here.

00:40.436 --> 00:42.897
That just means
the newspapers and the police

00:42.939 --> 00:44.691
have been told to stay away.

00:45.275 --> 00:46.651
It was the same back then.

00:49.487 --> 00:50.613
They...

00:51.656 --> 00:52.991
appeared out of nowhere.

00:59.497 --> 01:00.331
What the—?!

01:00.373 --> 01:02.041
Everyone in the village was slaughtered.

01:03.501 --> 01:05.169
I barely managed to escape, but...

01:05.795 --> 01:10.133
the incident never made the papers
or even sparked a rumor.

01:11.050 --> 01:14.053
But this time,
the incident made the papers.

01:14.721 --> 01:16.347
Hyakka, I think this is...

01:25.273 --> 01:27.108
It seems the incident in this village

01:27.567 --> 01:29.819
was a trap to lure us out.

01:31.195 --> 01:33.156
That's right, but...

01:34.490 --> 01:38.995
I never expected you
to show up as well, Hyakka.

01:39.621 --> 01:43.166
You bastard! Were you the one behind
the scarecrows 20 years ago?!

01:44.500 --> 01:45.543
Well, yes.

01:46.294 --> 01:48.170
Back then,
neither of us had the chance

01:48.171 --> 01:50.214
to get a good look
at each other's faces.

01:51.049 --> 01:52.717
Would you like to see mine?

01:53.468 --> 01:55.720
Before I take out
your remaining eye?

01:59.599 --> 02:01.100
<i>This is the man,</i>

02:01.976 --> 02:03.311
<i>who did that to Hyakka's eye...?</i>

02:06.689 --> 02:07.731
20 YEARS EARLIER

02:07.732 --> 02:11.861
20 YEARS EARLIER
1904 MEIJI ERA

02:17.116 --> 02:18.117
<i>What the hell happened?</i>

02:19.118 --> 02:21.621
HYAKKA

02:19.452 --> 02:20.370
<i>Who did this?</i>

02:23.289 --> 02:24.415
<i>What are those things?</i>

02:28.795 --> 02:29.796
Metal scarecrows?!

02:43.810 --> 02:44.811
Metal aura?!

02:47.939 --> 02:49.357
<i>An onmyoji must be behind them!</i>

03:00.118 --> 03:00.993
Is that him?!

04:58.528 --> 05:01.989
HAKUBI

05:02.490 --> 05:05.076
Hey! This is all your doing, isn't it?

05:05.618 --> 05:08.454
You dragged innocent villagers
into this...

05:09.038 --> 05:10.289
You goddamn monster!

05:12.834 --> 05:14.919
What an unlucky village.

05:15.419 --> 05:18.923
All because you happened
to be there, Hyakka.

05:20.007 --> 05:20.967
However,

05:21.551 --> 05:24.887
it was an excellent
testing ground for my soldiers.

05:28.474 --> 05:30.017
Screw you!

05:30.685 --> 05:32.270
MAO

05:31.143 --> 05:32.019
Hyakka!

05:41.112 --> 05:43.656
<i>These ribbons of steel are identical
to the ones used by</i>

05:43.781 --> 05:45.032
<i>the shikigami that attacked me.</i>

05:49.245 --> 05:51.914
<i>This man is also working
with Shiranui.</i>

05:53.916 --> 05:54.750
Who are you?!

06:00.548 --> 06:01.549
Stay out of this, Mao!

06:01.924 --> 06:03.050
He's mine!

06:09.849 --> 06:10.766
A barrier!

06:32.496 --> 06:33.414
His arm...

06:32.496 --> 06:34.874
OTOYA

06:37.835 --> 06:40.129
Hey! That arm of yours...
Is it because...

06:40.421 --> 06:41.589
of what happened back then?

06:43.215 --> 06:45.509
I underestimated you,
thinking you were just a brat.

06:49.722 --> 06:50.681
For centuries,

06:51.307 --> 06:54.435
I was never injured
by anyone in a battle...

06:56.646 --> 06:57.563
Though...

06:57.647 --> 06:59.607
it hasn't inconvenienced me
in the slightest.

07:05.696 --> 07:06.572
You're...

07:14.747 --> 07:16.499
The only problem is...

07:18.376 --> 07:21.128
I haven't aged... a bit.

07:19.210 --> 07:21.754
HAKUBI

07:22.922 --> 07:23.839
Hakubi!

07:28.928 --> 07:31.055
<i>Mao killed Lady Sana...</i>

07:32.098 --> 07:33.015
<i>Why?!</i>

07:33.724 --> 07:35.059
<i>Calm down, Hyakka.</i>

07:37.228 --> 07:38.187
<i>I saw it, too.</i>

07:39.563 --> 07:41.691
<i>Mao betrayed the Goko Clan...</i>

07:42.692 --> 07:43.651
<i>He's our sworn enemy!</i>

07:45.653 --> 07:48.531
You were summoned to
the Goshikido as well, Hakubi?

07:49.490 --> 07:50.324
I was.

07:50.908 --> 07:51.826
Hyakka...

07:52.368 --> 07:54.537
I knew that you were summoned, as well.

07:56.747 --> 08:02.086
Fighting you 20 years ago
was a blessing in disguise.

08:03.212 --> 08:06.132
I learned that those of us
who were summoned to the Goshikido...

08:06.841 --> 08:11.345
can injure and kill one another.

08:14.432 --> 08:17.476
<i>Among the members of the Goko Clan,</i>

08:17.727 --> 08:19.770
<i>Hakubi was one of
the most trusted by the Master.</i>

08:20.020 --> 08:22.565
<i>He was tasked with
casting many of the curses.</i>

08:24.942 --> 08:27.027
<i>Master would hand him a scroll...</i>

08:28.112 --> 08:32.158
<i>and within days, rumors would
spread that a nobleman had died,</i>

08:32.700 --> 08:36.162
<i>followed by deliveries of
various gifts to the compound.</i>

08:38.247 --> 08:41.208
<i>What was inside the scrolls
Master handed over</i>

08:42.001 --> 08:43.377
<i>whenever he ordered a curse?</i>

08:46.088 --> 08:51.010
For me, the Goko Clan
was where I felt I truly belonged.

08:52.553 --> 08:53.804
But Mao,

08:54.847 --> 08:57.892
your betrayal brought about
the Goko Clan's downfall.

09:00.311 --> 09:01.896
Over the centuries,

09:02.938 --> 09:05.483
I fought in many battles.

09:08.069 --> 09:10.446
I discovered that I was
better suited to the battlefield...

09:11.030 --> 09:14.075
than lurking in the shadows
casting spells.

09:19.997 --> 09:23.209
I died many times...
or felt like I did.

09:24.251 --> 09:26.504
But every time I woke up,

09:27.379 --> 09:31.258
every wound I'd suffered in battle
had vanished without a trace.

09:32.885 --> 09:33.844
Hyakka...

09:34.386 --> 09:36.388
wasn't it the same for you?

09:37.807 --> 09:39.600
<i>Yeah. Same here.</i>

09:40.851 --> 09:44.355
That is why,
20 years ago, Hyakka...

09:45.523 --> 09:47.775
When we crossed paths
and fought one another...

09:48.359 --> 09:49.860
and I realized my severed arm

09:50.653 --> 09:54.198
and the burns on my face
would never heal...

09:54.990 --> 09:56.867
I was thrilled from
the bottom of my soul.

10:02.748 --> 10:04.500
Because that was when I learned...

10:04.750 --> 10:06.210
there is an end!

10:12.133 --> 10:13.384
Handy arm you've got there.

10:13.843 --> 10:16.887
I'll grant your wish
and put a quick end to this.

10:30.276 --> 10:31.485
<i>Ordinarily,</i>

10:31.944 --> 10:33.612
<i>Fire overcomes Metal.</i>

10:34.321 --> 10:38.159
WOOD FIRE EARTH METAL WATER

10:35.364 --> 10:37.658
<i>Master Hyakka should
have the advantage, but...</i>

10:38.701 --> 10:42.288
that's only when both sorcerers
are evenly matched in elemental energy.

10:43.080 --> 10:45.666
<i>Hakubi's Metal aura is...</i>

10:46.625 --> 10:47.585
<i>powerful.</i>

11:00.389 --> 11:01.307
Ah...

11:06.437 --> 11:08.314
<i>Huh? Can it be...?</i>

11:09.773 --> 11:13.444
Mao, is that the blade
that the Master gave you?

11:14.195 --> 11:16.780
The Sword of Hagunsei?

11:17.781 --> 11:19.033
How can this be?

11:19.909 --> 11:22.745
That ill-omened sword was meant
to mark you as the sacrifice.

11:23.579 --> 11:26.707
It was never meant to protect you.

11:27.541 --> 11:30.794
This is a cursed sword,
bathed in the Byoki's blood.

11:32.129 --> 11:35.257
I, too, am cursed by the Byoki.

11:36.508 --> 11:38.761
Cursed, you say?

11:39.470 --> 11:40.804
Don't make me laugh, Mao.

11:41.347 --> 11:44.141
You're using that
so-called cursed sword...

11:44.683 --> 11:47.561
to receive the Byoki's protection!

11:48.896 --> 11:52.733
<i>Mao, give me your body.</i>

11:54.485 --> 11:56.987
<i>The Byoki's protection?!</i>

11:57.988 --> 11:59.281
Who cares?!

12:00.407 --> 12:01.700
Bastard...

12:01.825 --> 12:02.826
Just melt already!

12:05.788 --> 12:06.830
<i>Pearls?</i>

12:07.623 --> 12:10.417
I hate having to use Water energy, but...

12:23.138 --> 12:24.598
Forgot already, Hakubi?

12:25.099 --> 12:29.603
20 years ago, I burned every one
of your scarecrows to ashes.

12:31.563 --> 12:32.731
<i>No flames...</i>

12:38.904 --> 12:39.822
Hyakka!

12:41.198 --> 12:43.117
<i>Did he just use
the Water energy of the pearls</i>

12:43.158 --> 12:44.952
<i>to seal Hyakka's spell?</i>

12:45.953 --> 12:47.913
Damn it! I can't get it off.

12:48.455 --> 12:49.456
Hyakka...

12:49.832 --> 12:52.293
I'll kill you properly later.

12:52.876 --> 12:53.836
Hakubi.

12:55.713 --> 12:58.424
Are you working with Shiranui?

12:59.091 --> 12:59.967
Why?!

13:00.426 --> 13:04.013
I could say the same of you.

13:05.014 --> 13:06.932
You joined forces with the Byoki

13:07.516 --> 13:09.351
and betrayed the Goko Clan.

13:10.936 --> 13:11.895
Mao...

13:12.271 --> 13:13.272
you are...

13:14.273 --> 13:16.483
the Goko Clan's sworn enemy!

13:26.744 --> 13:29.413
You are the Goko Clan's sworn enemy!

13:36.337 --> 13:40.507
You're siding with this
fake Goko Clan?

13:41.300 --> 13:42.384
Fake?

13:43.093 --> 13:44.595
Are you so sure about that?

13:48.223 --> 13:50.642
I first heard rumors of the Goko Clan...

13:51.185 --> 13:53.771
toward the end of the Tokugawa era.

13:54.897 --> 13:58.025
Someone claiming to be
from the fallen Goko Clan

13:58.567 --> 14:00.068
was said to be carrying out

14:00.069 --> 14:03.405
life-extension and
cursing services for the nobility.

14:04.865 --> 14:06.200
I went looking for them.

14:06.825 --> 14:09.787
I was certain it was an imposter
using the Goko Clan's name.

14:10.412 --> 14:13.248
I intended to kill the imposter.

14:14.500 --> 14:15.709
I went to...

14:15.793 --> 14:19.755
the Northern Beach where the
Water sorcerers of the Goko Clan trained,

14:20.089 --> 14:22.299
and found a shrine protected
by a barrier...

14:26.428 --> 14:29.306
I slipped past the barrier
without difficulty.

14:30.140 --> 14:33.811
No... they must have let me in
on purpose.

14:35.604 --> 14:38.899
Waiting for me was that woman.

14:41.527 --> 14:45.447
She had a familiar,
dark, sinister aura.

14:46.448 --> 14:48.200
She was no imposter.

14:48.909 --> 14:51.620
She was unmistakably
a woman of the Goko Clan.

14:52.287 --> 14:53.330
A woman?!

14:53.705 --> 14:56.208
What are you talking about?

14:57.876 --> 15:00.796
Mao, you've already met her,
haven't you?

15:01.713 --> 15:03.090
Lady Yurako.

15:06.927 --> 15:08.053
<i>Lady Sana?!</i>

15:09.304 --> 15:10.764
Hey, Hakubi! You bastard!

15:11.306 --> 15:14.101
Dark? Sinister?
Who the hell are you talking about?!

15:15.477 --> 15:16.937
Know your place, Hyakka.

15:17.396 --> 15:19.898
Show some respect
when you say my name.

15:26.155 --> 15:28.407
Mao, let me tell you this.

15:28.824 --> 15:33.370
She's not the woman you think she is.

15:33.829 --> 15:37.666
What is it that you know...?

15:39.334 --> 15:42.296
You'll have to find out for yourself.

15:43.088 --> 15:44.756
I'll let you meet her right away.

15:53.390 --> 15:54.349
Master Mao!

15:55.058 --> 15:58.729
Mao, I'm taking you back with me alive.

15:59.938 --> 16:00.981
So your objective is...

16:01.565 --> 16:04.526
the secret spell of Taizanfukun?

16:06.486 --> 16:09.781
I have no interest in
a life-extension spell.

16:11.241 --> 16:14.203
Shiranui insists on learning it, though.

16:21.084 --> 16:22.920
<i>My Diamond Arm melted?!</i>

16:41.313 --> 16:43.148
Mao!
Damn it!

16:44.316 --> 16:46.360
Shiranui told me...

16:47.152 --> 16:49.988
That the Byoki's blood flows
through your veins, Mao.

16:51.031 --> 16:52.740
He said it is a deadly poison that

16:52.741 --> 16:54.618
burns and melts anyone
who touches it.

16:57.162 --> 16:59.122
You shouldn't have resisted me...

17:00.165 --> 17:02.709
<i>Mao... Don't tell me you're dead?!</i>

17:26.775 --> 17:27.776
Master Mao...

17:29.570 --> 17:31.655
Is that... Mao?!

17:32.573 --> 17:34.241
I see now, Hyakka.

17:35.158 --> 17:37.286
On that day
when the compound burned down,

17:37.786 --> 17:41.540
you never saw this monster,
did you?

17:42.165 --> 17:46.837
I suppose you were too much of a coward,
hiding for your life.

18:11.695 --> 18:13.238
Hakubi's spells are having no effect!

18:20.746 --> 18:23.290
So this is the power of the Byoki...

18:25.000 --> 18:25.917
Mao...

18:26.335 --> 18:28.545
After becoming one with the Byoki,
you're no longer

18:28.670 --> 18:30.464
just an enemy of the Goko Clan...

18:30.797 --> 18:32.466
You're the enemy of all onmyoji!

18:33.258 --> 18:34.301
Of onmyoji?

18:34.926 --> 18:36.178
What are you talking about?!

18:37.763 --> 18:38.972
I will punish you!

18:42.601 --> 18:44.811
Before I entered the Goko Clan,

18:45.312 --> 18:48.231
I had never seen a cat before.

18:49.024 --> 18:52.152
Hyakka, it was the same for you,
wasn't it?

18:52.861 --> 18:53.862
Is that true?

18:55.155 --> 18:56.239
Yeah...

18:57.115 --> 18:58.200
In those days,

18:58.283 --> 19:01.244
I heard cats were
only kept by noble families.

19:02.371 --> 19:05.916
Lady Sana's Haimaru
was the first cat I ever saw.

19:07.292 --> 19:08.752
What's your point?

19:09.670 --> 19:12.339
Cats exist outside
the realm of Onmyodo.

19:13.632 --> 19:17.886
It is a creature that belongs
to none of the Five Elements.

19:18.387 --> 19:19.930
In other words...

19:20.514 --> 19:27.104
WOOD FIRE EARTH METAL WATER

19:20.931 --> 19:23.307
they exist outside the cycle
of elemental opposition,

19:23.308 --> 19:26.812
making them immune
to elemental spells.

19:27.854 --> 19:31.607
So why would Master have
welcomed such an eerie creature

19:31.608 --> 19:33.610
into the compound?

19:35.153 --> 19:36.655
There can be only one answer.

19:37.739 --> 19:40.867
Master intended to turn the cat
into the most fearsome kodoku of all,

19:41.451 --> 19:45.247
the Byoki,
and make it serve him.

19:47.207 --> 19:49.458
Using the Byoki,
which is unaffected by Onmyo spells...

19:49.459 --> 19:51.628
as his shikigami
would make him invincible.

19:52.212 --> 19:53.296
But instead,

19:53.630 --> 19:55.632
the Byoki went berserk.

19:55.966 --> 19:57.217
And even worse,

19:57.509 --> 20:00.804
chose the traitor Mao
and bound itself to him.

20:02.264 --> 20:05.767
<i>Hakubi doesn't know that
Master Mao rejected the Byoki...</i>

20:06.017 --> 20:08.729
<i>and that only his body fused with it?</i>

20:10.105 --> 20:12.190
You hideous monster!

20:23.618 --> 20:25.078
<i>I thought that bastard Hakubi said</i>

20:25.120 --> 20:27.789
<i>Onmyo spells
won't work on the Byoki...</i>

20:28.749 --> 20:29.666
Master Hyakka...

20:30.542 --> 20:32.169
Show me your sealed arm.

20:32.753 --> 20:33.587
Huh?

20:33.962 --> 20:35.046
Let's see if this works.

20:35.797 --> 20:36.882
This is my hair.

20:37.924 --> 20:40.177
You grew just one long one?
That's so weird.

20:50.687 --> 20:53.398
<i>I should've known no ordinary barrier
was going to stop him.</i>

20:55.692 --> 20:56.568
Come at me!

21:09.122 --> 21:10.582
<i>The seven tails have been severed,</i>

21:10.832 --> 21:12.375
<i>and the transformation is reversing...</i>

21:13.418 --> 21:15.420
<i>That cursed talisman
he put on his arm...</i>

21:16.046 --> 21:19.633
<i>It's identical to the talisman
on the Spear of Taima</i>

21:20.091 --> 21:22.219
<i>that nearly killed the Byoki...</i>

21:24.721 --> 21:26.264
That seems to work.

21:37.317 --> 21:38.735
Hakubi...

21:39.069 --> 21:40.529
You're a dead man!

21:42.948 --> 21:43.907
<i>Hyakka...</i>

21:44.866 --> 21:46.493
<i>You broke the seal?</i>

21:47.244 --> 21:49.621
Hyakka. I'll kill you next time.

21:51.581 --> 21:53.333
Fight me now, you bastard!

21:55.627 --> 21:56.628
He got away.

21:56.920 --> 21:57.921
Damn it!

22:06.221 --> 22:07.180
Master Mao.

22:07.556 --> 22:08.765
Is he back to normal?

22:09.891 --> 22:12.310
Hey, Mao! Pull yourself together!

22:17.107 --> 22:18.525
He fell asleep...

22:19.568 --> 22:21.653
He must be very tired.

22:21.945 --> 22:23.029
Huh?!

22:27.117 --> 22:29.870
I'm glad you were here to help us.

22:30.370 --> 22:32.414
He’s a real pain in the ass.

22:33.081 --> 22:36.251
You're much stronger than I thought.

22:36.877 --> 22:37.961
Damn right!

22:38.628 --> 22:40.714
Fire is stronger than Metal.

22:41.590 --> 22:43.508
I'll tell Miss Nanoka what you did.

22:43.884 --> 22:45.260
Yeah, tell her.

22:45.844 --> 22:48.972
For some reason,
she doesn't take me seriously.

22:53.059 --> 22:55.854
NANOKA KIBA

22:53.602 --> 22:55.061
Mao? Otoya?

22:56.688 --> 22:58.273
Huh? No way!

23:00.317 --> 23:02.694
Nobody's here?
I feel so alone!

23:14.080 --> 23:17.959
<i>The Byoki exists outside
the realm of Onmyodo...</i>

23:19.878 --> 23:22.422
<i>If I could control Mao...</i>

23:23.590 --> 23:25.050
<i>Now that would be interesting.</i>

24:57.934 --> 24:59.394
NEXT TIME

24:58.351 --> 25:00.562
I have no appetite.

25:01.062 --> 25:02.897
My neck feels so stiff...

25:02.981 --> 25:03.898
EFFICIENT

25:03.023 --> 25:04.274
I will give you some medicine.

25:04.524 --> 25:05.859
Let me help, Otoya.

25:06.192 --> 25:07.860
Apparently, there was a huge craze

25:07.861 --> 25:09.738
for a curse
that controlled cat kodoku.

25:09.946 --> 25:12.991
What does "maogui"
translate to in Japanese?

25:13.658 --> 25:14.826
"Cat demon"

25:15.076 --> 25:16.202
or Byoki.

25:16.703 --> 25:18.830
They said all that was left
was a pile of dirt.

25:18.913 --> 25:22.417
What? You mean his body
turned into dirt?

25:23.543 --> 25:25.628
Next time: Maogui
