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.

On their way to the Feng Shui Valley,

the group finally found the entrance to the Feng Shui Pass inside the blizzard.

However,

Fuusuke, who had lagged behind, was attacked by Basara's masked warrior, Genbu.

Basara had frozen Genbu's sense of pain, so he could withstand any attack unprotected.

Aichou and Touji arrived just in time to save Fuusuke, and they escaped to the Feng Shui Pass.

However, when they got to the huge whirlwind outside the valley,

Basara's three warriors, Genbu, Byakko, and Suzaku, were already waiting for them.

Too bad for you, former Ninku captains.

To die here by our hands, just as you came so close to meeting the Tenkuu Dragon.

Shut up!

Damn you and your stupid names!

You bastards should realize how lame you are!

Yeah! Lame-os! You've got horrible fashion sense too!

Just some insults from sore losers.

What?!

You now know how much stronger we are.

We will win.

The fight's just getting started!

How interesting.

We've overcome countless hardships so far...

together as friends!

Camaraderie is for the weak.

I'll show you how worthless friendship is.

That move...

It's a move from the Second Ninku squad, where all the iron in the blood is gathered together.

Bastard, are you a former Ninku?

That is a thing of the past.

Now I am a member of the strongest Imperial Army squad, The Trio of Basara.

The iron warrior, Byakko!

Take this! Air Iron Crush!

Air Iron Crush

Oh crap!

Onii-chan!

Is that the extent of your friendship?

The weak ones protect each other, but what use is a relationship like that?

Basara-sama taught me how meaningless friendship is.

Kisumi did...?

Well, are you afraid of dying?

Who are you?

Former Ninku Seventh Squad captain, Kisumi.

Former Ninku... Why did you attack us then?

Since you're all going to die here, the reason doesn't matter.

Or do you want to survive?

Kill each other in front of me then.

How can you ask us that?

I can't kill my friends!

Then die, all of you.

No, please don't!

D-Dammit!

What...?

You...!

I just don't wanna die. I don't wanna die!

You bastard...

Die!

You guys, how dare you attack me!

What's stopping you? He betrayed you.

Friendship is pointless. The thing you had believed in betrayed you this easily.

Will you choose death over a useless thing like that?

Dammit!

If I hadn't...

If I hadn't believed in these guys...

You get it now, don't you?

What you need isn't friendship. Empty your heart and become stronger.

Wh-What did you just do?

I tested you, and you chose correctly. You do not need friendship.

So I froze your heart.

You should no longer feel anything, even though you killed that man.

Become strong under me.

You have talent.

And I became stronger.

Spare the crap until after you've defeated me!

Otherwise, you're going to look so lame afterward.

The one who's going to regret it is you!

You're not strong enough to fight with me.

Air Iron Crush!

What?!

Air Snake Palm!

It hurts...

Why?

Why is it my brother who got hurt, when he was the one who attacked?

Look at that guy's body.

His whole body...

It's completely covered in iron!

This is the Air Iron Crush I perfected.

Eat this! Air Iron Spirit!

Stop it!

You have no time to be saving your friends. I am your opponent.

What, we gonna have a masquerade ball?

I, Aichou, will send you to the depths of hell in the blink of an eye!

Sky Soaring Fist!

He disappeared.

What's the matter? Can't keep up with my speed using those legs you're so proud of?

Th-That's some insane power...

Aichou...

Well, shall we resume our fight now?

Or... we could take our time watching your friends die first.

You're trying to stand up...

Fighting with a hurt body is difficult, isn't it?

Even if you get back up, I am still leagues above you.

You are so wrong.

What?

Not feeling pain doesn't make you stronger.

Real strength comes from experiencing pain.

You feel pain, then you overcome it. That's how people get stronger.

Then overcome it.

If it's pain you're after, you've got a lot coming your way!

Does it hurt?

Then I'll continue pummeling you...

until you overcome the pain!

Gathering so you can die together? That's all friendship is good for, huh?

Dammit...

Don't!

Don't!

Still worrying about your friends?

Outta my way.

I'm going to save my friends, after I defeat you.

You don't have the time or power to save your friends.

Neither time nor power have anything to do with it!

Let's go!

Air Pressure Soaring Fist!

Air Spiral Shot!

What?!

You live up to your name, former Ninku Rooster Squad Captain, Aichou the Sky.

Killing you would be such a waste.

If you beg and swear your loyalty to us now, we may even allow you to join our squad.

Stop spewing horseshit!

Looks like that wasn't enough!

Whirlwind Ring

Whirlwind Ring!

I can't move!

How about it? Will you beg now?

Beg? Even if I die, I will never bow my head!

That is the you from yesterday. Forget the past, carry on, and survive!

I threw away my past and became strong.

Not gonna apologize after bumping into me?!

Who do you think I am?

You...!

What?

To even crack my ice... you have talent. Bow before me and I will forgive you.

Whatever happens, I will never bow down!

I am a former champion!

Glory from the past... Throw that away.

Deep inside, you should want to let go of it yourself.

You can become even stronger if you are willing to throw away your idiotic past.

Who are you?

Former Ninku Seventh Horse Squad Captain, Kisumi the Ice.

You are no longer the man you used to be.

You are a scarred, different man. Become stronger, so you'll win as a member of my squad!

So I managed to be reborn as a machine who only seeks power.

Air Spiral Shot!

Colonel Basara, do you really believe your three warriors will defeat the Ninku?

Of course they will.

A frozen heart devoid of fear and conflicting emotions lets one pursue power for its own sake.

The Tenkuu Dragon will grant power to a pure heart that seeks strength.

A report that they have eliminated the Ninku should come in shortly.

Hmph.

I don't care either way.

Oh?

If the Ninku are that weak, then they can just get eliminated.

But I'm sure you don't think they will be killed so easily.

What are you trying to say?

I just have a feeling that I might meet those guys again.

The Feng Shui Valley where your three warriors can fight best

is also the place where the Ninku have a chance to obtain the power of the Tenkuu Dragon.

Now, which side will Lady Luck pick?

It's nearly time.

What?!

Looks like he's finished too.

How pathetic. None of the former Ninku captains really put up a fight.

Aichou!

I'm sorry, Touji.

Touji! Your so-called friendship is now over.

Air Iron Crush!

O-Onii-chan!

Air Iron Spirit!

Dammit... My body...

Air Snake Palm!

What?!

Even if you make your whole body iron, you can't make your eyes iron.

You all right, Touji?

Yeah.

Whatever you say means nothing. None of you have any strength left.

Your full-on strike only crushed one of Byakko's eyes.

Unfortunately, you're right. But we can't pull back now.

Definitely not.

Dammit... The center of the Feng Shui Valley is right there, but they're blocking our way!

Shall we go... in there?

Yeah!

Yeah!

Stop!

I won't let you escape!

Let's go!

Yeah.

Stop!

I can't breathe! I'm gonna die!

I feel like I'm going to be blown away.

Touji!

This is bad.

We can't get into the Feng Shui Valley at this rate.

But they can't attack us here.

I wonder about that!

You bastards are done for.

Fuusuke! What are you doing?!

Air Rat Whirlwind!

Where...?

Is this the center of the Feng Shui Valley?

Is everyone all right?

Yeah...

Somehow.

Rihoko and Hiroyuki aren't here!

What?!

Let's look for them.

To allow you to enter this holy place...

Just die!

Where are we?

This is so beautiful.

Oh yeah, where is everybody?

Let's look for them!

Onii-chan!

Your final moments have come.

Looks like they reached the Feng Shui Valley.

Hey, Colonel Basara, can I ask you something?

You make your soldiers stronger by freezing their hearts.

What part of yourself did you freeze?

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.

mou ichido koko kara arukihajimeyou

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

miageru sora hateshinaku towa ni hirogaru

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,

oto wo tatete me wo samasu yo

someone makes a noise and wakes me up.

naite okottari soshite warattari

I cry in anger, laugh, and love someone.

dareka wo aishitari

itsumo hana wa saki soshite chitteku

Flowers always bloom before withering away.

sore demo ashita wa yatte kuru

But, even so, tomorrow will still come.

ai wo toki hanachi subete toki hanachi

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

dareka wo shinjitai

itsumo kaze wo kanjiteru kokoro ni

There will always be a tomorrow

Dammit... We finally managed to reach the Feng Shui Valley,

but where the hell is the Tenkuu Dragon?

I guess this is what "every criminal must pay the price" means.

Is that it?

Hey, Tenkuu Dragon! Hurry and show yourself!

Otherwise, we'll come and get you!

Next episode: The Tenkuu Dragon Appears!

I-It's massive.
