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.

Brrrr... It's so cold.

Wish I could thrive in this weather like you, Hiroyuki.

My feet are so frozen that I can't even walk anymore!

Hey, just walk it off!

You'll freeze to death at this rate!

Aichou, aren't you cold?

Of course not!

As long as I get to see the Tenkuu Dragon, this is nothing.

Right, Touji?

Huh?

How much farther do we need to go to reach the Feng Shui Path?

Hmm... Should be in sight now.

There should be a stone gate.

That's the entrance to the Feng Shui Path, and the valley is further ahead.

Hey!

With a blizzard like this, it's probably been buried under the snow!

Oh yeah, might be.

"Might be"? Now what are we gonna do, huh?!

Hiroyuki, what's up?

Hey, take a look at the ground beneath him.

Huh?

What?

Why is there no snow where he's standing?

Let's check it out.

Huh?

No way, how?!

This is so weird!

Why isn't it snowing here?

The blizzard is really intense over here.

It's strange.

It's like a tunnel within the blizzard.

Wow, this is kind of romantic!

This place is nice and warm too!

Oh!

I think we've found the Feng Shui Path!

Huh?

The wind from the Feng Shui Valley must be forming this tunnel.

We can finally meet the Tenkuu Dragon!

Let's go!

Huh?

Ugh, you're so gross!

It got warm all of a sudden, so I couldn't hold it in.

Fine, wanna take a rest then?

Whoa!

This is so much fun!

Welcome to my castle, Colonel Mekira.

Let's not stand on ceremony.

We listen to enough boring sermons as it is.

Today, I came for personal reasons.

Really?

What kind of reasons?

I'll cut to the chase here.

Colonel Basara.

Why don't you move out and personally eliminate those Ninku?

You've been lounging here even though you know they're searching for the Tenkuu Dragon.

Are you really taking the elimination of the Ninku seriously?

I can answer that rather bluntly.

The one who awaits the Ninku in the Feng Shui Valley is my strongest soldier.

There is a reason why I let them live up until now.

Hey, Fuusuke!

You still aren't done yet?!

Nope, it just keeps flowing, so I can't stop.

It's been ages already!

How much longer are you gonna take?!

It's been well over five minutes since you started pissing!

Fuusuke is the reigning Ninku pissing champ after all!

Hey, stop that, it's embarrassing.

That's nothing to be proud of!

Oh well. Let's move on toward the Feng Shui Valley without him.

Great!

So, Fuusuke, we'll be going on ahead!

You can keep pissing until all the snow melts.

H-Hey, wait for me!

But... it won't stop.

There it is!

The entrance to the Feng Shui Path!

Hooray!

We finally found it!

Yeah!

So...

The Feng Shui Valley, home of the Tenkuu Dragon, lies just ahead!

Let's go!

Hey, wait a second!

Huh?

What about Fuusuke?

Just leave that pissing kid behind!

Oops. I shouldn't say such filthy words.

He'll be fine. There's only one way here anyway.

Even if you get lost easily like Fuusuke, I guess you can't go wrong here.

Hey, Hiroyuki!

See? He's already itching to go.

Let's go too!

Yeah!

Seems like it's finally stopping.

Crap, I got some on my hands.

Who are you?

That's some weird getup you're wearing there.

My name is Genbu.

Genbu?

I'm—

I already know.

Former Ninku First Squad Captain, Fuusuke the Rat Ninja.

How do you know who I am?

I know everything.

I even know the day you will die.

What?

Today...

is that day!

That hurt, you bastard.

What'd you do that for?!

Where did he go?

Here!

You're pretty strong.

Air Snow Fist!

A-A Ninku technique...

Who are you?!

Shit.

Where are you?! Show yourself!

Air Shuriken!

What?!

My Air Shuriken didn't even faze him?

That didn't even itch.

Why are you bluffing?

You're bleeding.

I do not feel pain.

Basara-sama has frozen my pain.

Frozen?

By Kisumi...

Wh-What do you want?!

If it's money you're after, I don't have any!

Impressive.

You masterfully defeated soldiers that have undergone my special training.

What do you want with me?!

I've ascertained your strength.

As I thought, your reflexes, your judgment, your attacks—

all of them are perfect.

So why...?

I want to welcome you into our army. I will make you a first-class soldier.

It hurts!

I-I'm bleeding!

I saw right away that you were hiding your weakness.

Don't you wish to overcome your cowardice and become stronger?

Of course I do!

B-But I just can't!

I can't stand pain!

Every time... Every time I see my own blood, I get so frightened that my feet won't move.

Indeed, once you get over that fear of pain,

you can become the strongest warrior.

How is it? Do you still feel the pain?

I-I... can't feel it.

Using the power of the Tenkuu Dragon, I have frozen your pain.

What did you say?!

You will no longer feel any kind of pain.

You will no longer need to defend against any attack.

Is there anything stronger than this?

You shall live as a defenseless soldier that cannot feel pain!

Ever since Basara-sama froze my pain and taught me Ninku skills,

I have never let an enemy come out of a fight alive.

But I won't lose to you!

Is that all you got?

You'll never defeat me like that!

I sent my strongest soldier,

the man I found after scouring the entire country under Archbishop Kouchin's orders.

The Archbishop's orders?

How about a drink? I heard you like this sort of thing.

The Feng Shui Valley in Mt. Genren is the origin of all the energy of this land.

I was told by Archbishop Kouchin that in order to govern this nation,

the valley must be protected from invasion and destruction by outsiders.

And protecting the Dragon Stream requires...

...the defenders of the four directions,

Seiryu, Byakko, Suzaku, and Genbu.

You need four guardians.

In other words, Colonel Basara, you had to create at least three more soldiers like you—

soldiers with powers bestowed upon them by Archbishop Kouchin.

Saying my power was bestowed upon by the Archbishop is a tad off the mark.

It originates from the Dragon Stream, where there is a flow of life energy.

Is that so?

You seem well informed, so why the visit?

You've got me wrong.

What I want to know is...

your true intentions.

The weather over here is fantastic!

Hey, is this the Feng Shui Valley?

Nope... Looks like we're supposed to continue walking after exiting the cave.

What? We have to walk more?

Shut up, idiot!

Stop complaining when we've gotten this far!

Hey! Don't be angry, Aichou-san!

Hey, hey, hey. Do you think I'll be able to see the Tenkuu Dragon too?

As if an idiot like you would ever be able to see it.

Why do you keep calling me an idiot?

Shut up, ugly!

U-Ugly...?!

Hey! I know that you don't even think that!

Sheesh...

You're a persistent one. You're still going to stand up?

Damn right.

As if I'd ever just give up after you hurt me this much!

I-Is that the Feng Shui Valley?

Looks like it.

Do we have to go through that whirlwind?

You've gotta be kidding me. That's one massive whirlwind.

But there's no doubt the Feng Shui Valley lies within that.

We have no choice. Let's go.

Oh!

Wh-What?

What's up?

What are you doing, you dummy?

The string on my loincloth split.

What? Jeez...

H-Hey.

I have a bad feeling about this.

There's a jinx that when the string on your loincloth splits, one of us will die.

Yeah.

I was thinking about that too.

Perhaps...

Something happened to Fuusuke?

What did you say?

Rihoko, we're going back to look for Fuusuke.

You two wait here.

Let's go!

Yeah!

Hey, wait!

Just stay right there, okay?

You're quite a tough one.

You cannot defeat me, no matter how resilient you may be.

Wind Pressure Palm!

Trying to blind me now, huh?

Is that all...

you've got?!

Air Snow Fist!

Air Snow Fist!

Shall I put an end to this?

I don't have time to play around with you.

You're planning to fight Touji and the others?

I-I won't let you...

With the state you're in, you can't do anything!

Now then, time for you to die.

Fuusuke!

Who's that bastard?!

Anyway, we've gotta save Fuusuke.

Let's go!

Yeah!

Air Snake Tear!

Fuusuke!

What happened? You all right?

Th-Those are some deep wounds...

Damn him.

Where did he go?

Did he get buried under your Air Snake Tear?

No.

I made the snow rise just so we could save Fuusuke,

so he shouldn't have suffered much damage.

Anyway, it's too difficult to fight in this blizzard. Let's go back to the Feng Shui Path!

Yeah.

Did you see the dragon... yet?

Not yet. We've managed to get to the entrance of the Feng Shui Valley though.

Then... why did you come back?

The string on my loincloth split.

I had a bad feeling about it.

After all I did to stop him from coming after you guys...

Fuusuke, don't talk!

There he is.

All right. Let's get away.

Grab onto me!

Let's go!

Good.

It's the exit.

Fuusuke!

Once we get through here, the Feng Shui Valley is just ahead!

Onii-chan! Aichou-san! You're back!

Fuusuke! What happened?!

Watch out!

That bastard!

Sky Soaring Fist!

Take that!

How...

My Sky Soaring Fist didn't work?

I'll fight you then.

Take care of Fuusuke.

Air Snake Palm!

Wh-What's with this guy?!

Kisumi has frozen his sense of pain.

What?

Kisumi, you say?

That's right. I feel no pain whatsoever.

No attack will work against me.

I'll fight this guy.

You guys take Rihoko and Hiroyuki, and hurry to the Feng Shui Valley.

What are you saying?

Can you even fight like that?

I'll deal with him!

Aichou! Take everyone and go!

Moron!

Stop trying to act cool!

I can finish this guy by myself! You go first!

What is this?

Hah.

Looks like you guys are overflowing with beautiful friendship.

Hey, hey! Who the hell are you two?!

You're all dressed like a bunch of weirdos.

Who the hell are you bastards?!

I am the iron warrior, Byakko!

I am the masked warrior, Suzaku.

I am the defenseless warrior, Genbu.

They are my strongest warriors—

The Trio of Basara.

I can already see it.

Even though they made it to the valley's entrance, I can see Fuusuke's crew dying

without ever seeing the Tenkuu Dragon, their hearts will be filled with regret and frustration.

With the Feng Shui Valley right in front of them,

Kisumi's assassins, known as The Trio, stand before Fuusuke's crew.

Can Fuusuke and his group defeat them and reach the Feng Shui Valley?

hoho ni ataru kaze ga kizu wo keshiteyuku

The wind blowing against my cheeks soothes my wounds.

kimi no koe ga tooku chikaku kikoeteru

I can hear your voice both near and far.

yakusoku no basho nara sonna tookunai

Our promised land isn't all that far away.

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

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

shibomikaketa yume ga mata

Just as my dream is about to fade away,

someone makes a noise and wakes me up.

I cry in anger, laugh, and love someone.

Flowers always bloom before withering away.

But, even so, tomorrow will still come.

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

I think you guys have it all wrong.

I don't like things that are sad or painful either,

but I know it hurts a lot more to run away from them.

So, no matter how sad or painful it is, I won't lose this battle!

Next episode: The Demonic Trio!

Looks like we're in for quite a fight this time.
