Original subtitles

During a war, a handful of warriors nearly obliterated the Imperial Army.

They were called the Ninku Unit.

The empire was barely able to defeat them,

so they set out to subdue the unit in fear of their powers.

Few even know about the real Ninku anymore.

I'm finished! I can't take another step!

Not again.

It's so hot I feel like we might as well let them capture us.

I've had it!

What's wrong? You look pale.

Of course I do!

Unlike you guys, I'm a weak, fragile maiden!

I'm dead tired.

My legs are getting swollen, soon they'll get fat like radishes!

I wanna eat a radish.

I'm so hungry I could die.

How dare you say that after you just finished eating twenty onigiri?!

We were supposed to share that!

I wanted some, too!

That's too cruel!

I bought tons of food in the last village and you ate it all!

And why does that penguin eat potatoes anyway?

I'm gonna whack the both of you!

A woman's grudge over food is scary!

It's amazing how they can fight over the same garbage everyday.

But you know, we get to pick up the pace when she runs like that, so it's all good.

But man I'm tired.

No matter how far we go, nothing matches that description.

Are you sure we're headed the right way?

Fuusuke!

Gotcha!

Isn't Colonel Ajirada's castle at the end of this desert?

Yeah, that's what the guy who attacked Heart's Home said.

Wait, Fuusuke! You seriously believe the enemy?

Yeah.

Listen up! There's no way the enemy would tell you the truth.

It's gotta be a trap!

Be more careful!

You think?

I can't believe you!

Ninku have tough bodies, but your brains are weak!

Jeez!

What was that?!

Just you try to say another word!

Aichou-san, you're scary but wonderful.

Let it go, Aichou.

Shut up!

Doesn't it bug you?

It's been nagging at me this whole time.

What is?

Remember what the guys who attacked Heart's Home said?

They became powerful after Colonel Basara froze their hearts.

Plus, their fast movements were just like the Ninku's.

So what?

One of your old friends joined sides with the empire and is teaching people Ninku techniques?

That would never happen.

One of the former Zodiac Ninja was called the Man of Ice.

The Man of Ice?

Right. But he'd never...

Who is it?!

The Ninku are a team!

Our bonds are stronger than those of parents and siblings.

There's no way someone would ever betray us!

I'd like to think that, too!

There's no point questioning others.

We'll just have to meet him and see. Right?

Anyway, I'm going!

Going where? That's north!

Why are you going back the way we came?

You still haven't developed a sense of direction.

It's the Imperial Army.

Looks like there really is a castle.

Colonel Basara, we shall reach the castle fortress shortly.

I understand.

If what you say is true,

Colonel Basara's actions are a severe breach of military discipline.

As supervisor for Your Excellency's forces, I, Hum Boldt, would never speak falsely to you.

I don't question your honesty, Lieutenant Colonel.

Everyone out!

Fall in rank!

Reporting in!

Colonel Basara has come to see you.

What?!

Thank you for coming all this way, Colonel Basara.

It was nothing.

I believe you've already heard from Lieutenant Colonel Boldt,

but I have come to offer an official report and explanation.

If it's official, then why are you dressed that way?

You may be a colonel, but you stand before the second in command, His Excellency Ajirada.

First there's that hair of yours!

Don't you realize you're a military official?

It's art.

That's it.

Isn't that the A101 Land Battleship?

A land battleship?

During the war, the Imperial Army developed a transformational mobile fortress.

It required tremendous manpower and money,

so it never got finished since the war ended before it was complete.

You know a lot about it, Sis.

It's common knowledge if you read the newspaper.

Why don't know about it when you fought against the army?

It may not move, but it looks like a sound fortress.

So how do we break in?

Heading straight in is the quickest way.

H-Hey, Fuusuke!

This sucks.

We're going already?!

Let's rest a bit more!

So then, Colonel Basara, let's hear your side of the story.

How do you explain beating Colonel Ajirada's division to the Ninku

when he was ordered to exterminate them?

Really, you should be grateful to me.

What?!

That division would have been massacred if they proceeded to attack the Ninku.

Wh-What?!

According to the report, your elite force was massacred instead, Colonel Basara.

All three of the Ninku hiding in Heart's Home were captains.

These results are only natural.

I sent my unit there to confirm their identities.

Division Leader Boldt's anti-Ninku unit fails to understand their full power.

D-Damn you!

Now you dare mock me!

I have no intention of mocking you.

I merely believed that it would be in the military's interest

for me to obtain valid information at minimal cost.

Is that why you sacrificed your own elite force?

It would have nagged at me until confirming it personally.

What is it?

Someone's approaching us.

There's two tall men, a child that looks like a frog, a woman, and a penguin!

Maybe they're...

Ninku! The Ninku are approaching!

I'll go report to Colonel Ajirada!

Wait!

Wait a sec.

They're headed straight towards us...

without realizing it.

Hey, guys! You walk too quickly!

I haven't gotten a break since earlier!

They're gonna break... My feet are gonna break!

Let's take a break! I'm begging you! Please!

Stupid! Like we can rest here!

We're right in front of the enemy.

I know that!

Don't touch a lady's butt, you perverted penguin!

Wait, damn you! I'm gonna let you have it this time!

Well then, seems she's got the energy after all.

Hold it, Hiroyuki!

Got 'em!

Colonel Basara, do you realize what you've done?!

You sent the Daimyo's soldiers to their deaths for your own personal gain!

That's not beneficial to the army!

You have essentially acted in treason against the Daimyo!

Reporting in!

What is it?

We have just spotted Ninku headed directly towards the fortress.

What? The Ninku?

What of them?

Sir!

They seemed oblivious before stepping on a landmine, so I believe they were blown up.

Blown up?

Have you confirmed this?

Yes, sir! I've sent a team out to investigate.

Even a tank doesn't stand a chance against one of those landmines.

There's no escape, even if they could fly.

The Ninku are still human.

There's no way they're still alive.

Those damn Ninku got blown to smithereens.

What a pathetic way to die.

We're not dead yet.

Oopsie. That was a close one.

Ninku! Ninku! Let go of our man!

All right!

Air Pressure Fist!

Take this!

Headquarters! Headquarters! Requesting backup!

My squad is in combat with the Ninku. Send backup!

Send backup ASAP!

You dove into the sand and now my clothes are a mess!

Hey, you listening?

The team was obliterated?

Why?! Why are they still alive after stepping on that landmine?!

It's to be expected assuming they're Ninku.

Colonel Ajirada, please allow me to deal with them!

I swear I'll kill them!

Give it a try.

Thank you for your kindness!

It's the Ninku!

Fuusuke, leave them to us and go on ahead!

There's a passage over there.

You'll enter the castle if you go through that.

Oh!

No! I don't wanna stay here!

Then go with him.

Hiroyuki!

I-I don't like that idea either!

Here I come, small fry!

Damn those Ninku!

Division Leader Boldt!

What is it?

Some of the Ninku have infiltrated the fortress.

What?! Where are they?

Sir, they're...

This pipe's really long.

Something's not right with this pipe.

What is it?

Look at the walls.

They're all scraped up.

You're right. It looks like the inside of a gun.

The fools!

Activate the Megaro Cannon!

Activating the Megaro Cannon!

What gives?!

I see. Figures.

That's a cannon.

Prepare to fire the Megaro Cannon!

Initializing charge up.

Loading ammunition.

Target the Ninku who flies in the air.

Stop the target!

Fuusuke and the others are in trouble!

Now!

Perfect! Aim the Megaro Cannon at him!

Damn!

It's fully loaded.

We have a lock on the target.

It's gonna fire!

Crap! I don't wanna die here!

We'll kill two birds with one stone.

They're finished!

Fire the Megaro Cannon!

Fire!

W-We're finished!

Good! I've caught hold of the wind.

Grab onto me. We're going to use this wind to get outta here!

Wind Pressure Palm!

Serves you right!

Crap! We're falling!

Do something!

You're a life saver, Aichou.

Aichou-san!

You idiot! Don't cling on to me!

Reporting in!

There was an explosion due to firing issues with the Megaro Cannon.

It is not clear whether Lieutenant Colonel Boldt survived or not.

I knew it wouldn't work.

Seal all hallways.

Prepare for the Ninku's infiltration.

Yes, sir!

This conversation will have to wait until another time.

Air Shuriken!

Hey, where's Colonel Ajirada?

Down the hall and to the left.

Thanks!

Are you Ajirada?

You just missed him.

Colonel Ajirada isn't here.

That voice... Don't tell me you're—

Long time no see, Touji, Aichou, Fuusuke.

Kisumi?

What a nostalgic name.

But now I'm Colonel Basara with the empire.

I thought so.

I didn't want to believe it, Kisumi.

Damn you! Why'd you side with the Imperial Army?!

Answer me!

One of the Three Great Tacticians in the Imperial Army, Colonel Basara,

was actually the Ninku's Seventh Squad Captain, Kisumi the Horse Ninja.

What can Fuusuke do now that what he had dreaded the most has happened?

The wind blowing against my cheeks soothes my wounds.

hoho ni ataru kaze ga kizu wo keshiteyuku

I can hear your voice both near and far.

kimi no koe ga tooku chikaku kikoeteru

Our promised land isn't all that far away.

yakusoku no basho nara sonna tookunai

Let's use that as our starting point as we set forth once more.

mou ichido koko kara arukihajimeyou

The sky we look upon is endless as it spreads out for all eternity.

miageru sora hateshinaku towa ni hirogaru

Just as my dream is about to fade away,

shibomikaketa yume ga mata

someone makes a noise and wakes me up.

oto wo tatete me wo samasu yo

I cry in anger, laugh, and love someone.

naite okottari, soshite warattari,

dareka wo aishitari

Flowers always bloom before withering away.

itsumo hana wa saki soshite chitteku

But, even so, tomorrow will still come.

sore demo ashita wa yatte kuru

I want to believe in someone, after I free myself from love and everything.

ai wo toki hanachi subete wo toki hanachi

dareka wo shinjitai

There will always be a tomorrow

itsumo kaze wo kanjiteru kokoro ni

as long as my heart can feel the wind.

itsudemo ashita wa yattekuru

Three years ago, you were one of the friends that helped us out.

So you should know that what you're doing is wrong.

C'mon, answer me, Kisumi.

Next episode: Kisumi the Ice!

Things look pretty rough again.
