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.

The Tenkuu Dragon.

Legend has it that those who witness it

will be able to freely manipulate the immense energy of the natural world

and acquire unlimited power.

What's on your mind?

What brings you all this way here, Archbishop Kouchin?

Ever since your subordinates failed on their Ninku campaign,

you haven't taken a single step outside this castle.

I hope you haven't lost the resolve to fight your former comrades.

You need not worry.

I'm Colonel Basara of the Imperial Army.

Kisumi, the Horse Ninja Captain of the Ninku, is long gone.

Set out at once, then!

The Ninku remnants are on their way to the Cape of Feng Shui

in order to obtain the power of the Tenkuu Dragon.

Carry out your duty!

It's too warm.

Fuusuke's so easygoing.

Look at him, sound asleep when we're nearing the Cape of Feng Shui.

Well, let him get his sleep.

There might be incredible hardships waiting for us at the cape.

He probably knows that and is trying to get all the rest he can.

If we're unable to draw out the power of the Tenkuu Dragon this time,

our Ninku powers won't be enough to take on Kouchin!

We have a lot at stake here.

Hey, can't you do something about the rain?

I'm freezing back here!

The Cape of Feng Shui's just a bit further.

Just bear with it, my sister.

Wh-What's happening?

Onii-chan, stop this crazy thing!

Hey, get it together, Touji!

It's freezing, and I'm drenched.

Fuusuke, how can you be drowsy at a time like this?!

Fuusuke!

No!

I thought we were goners.

Will those two be all right?

Hey, someone just collapsed over there!

Huh?

What?

Hey! Hang in there!

Kisumi-san...

Kisumi?

What a relief! You're awake.

You know Kisumi?

Who are you guys?

We're Kisumi's comrades.

So you're Ninku.

Thank goodness.

I heard about you from my sister a long time ago.

I'm Misato.

I'm the younger sister of Miyuki, who used to be Kisumi's fiancée.

Kisumi did have a fiancée, but...

Right. She died in the war three years ago.

But we're not the only ones who lost family and loved ones during the war.

Yet Kisumi-san...

The kind and gentle Kisumi-san...

Miyuki...

Miyuki, hang in there! Miyuki!

Miyuki...

Nee-san...

Nee-san!

Nee-san...

Soon after Kisumi-san disappeared,

the war ended with the Imperial Army's victory.

D-Damn...

Then one day, years later,

just as I was almost ready to put the loss of my sister behind me...

Kisumi-san...

Misato?

Kisumi-san, what a relief it is to see you alive.

Misato...

Kisumi died back there alongside Miyuki.

I'm Colonel Basara of the Imperial Army.

He hated the war and wished for peace more than anyone.

I couldn't believe he'd joined the Imperial Army!

I don't know what he's trying to achieve.

Even so, I want the gentle Kisumi-san from back then to return.

So you came all the way here to see Kisumi?

Yes.

I felt like that's what my late sister would've wanted.

Hey!

What's up, Aichou?

The cape's over there!

Let's check it out!

Okay! I'll be right over!

Onii-chan, what do we do about Misato-san and Fuusuke?

Please take me with you!

Fuusuke's probably headed to the cape as well.

We can meet him there.

Man, that was brutal.

Hiroyuki, do you hear that? It sounds like a piano.

Amazing. It's like a graveyard for ships!

Are we at the Cape of Feng Shui?

The piano sound's coming from that ship.

Let's go check it out.

I've been waiting for you, Fuusuke.

Kisumi.

I had a feeling you'd be the first to get here.

Kisumi, what are you doing here?

You should already know the answer.

You're in the way!

You all right, Hiroyuki?

Your Substitution Technique's no match for me.

Why? Do you hate Hiroyuki?

Do you hate me too?

It's not about hate.

Then why?!

I don't wanna fight you.

Don't give me that nonsense now.

This is something you decided yourself.

I did?

I don't know what happened to you.

But could you stop helping the Imperial Army create the illusion of peace?

It's an illusion?

The peace the Ninku were after was the illusion.

It would have never brought an end to the war.

I realized that I had been wrong.

Do you seriously think this country's peaceful?!

The empire's making everyone suffer!

For a limited few.

How about it, Fuusuke?

Care to team up with me once more?

No one could threaten to destroy the peace if the former Ninku side with the empire.

Then I could take over the army and bring about true peace.

Kisumi, dump those stupid ideas!

Did you think that little spiel would get us to change our minds?

I'll say this once more.

You cannot defeat me as you are now.

Either take my advice and join the Imperial Army...

or die.

Wait!

Aichou!

Fuusuke, I'll give you some time.

Kisumi!

I await a favorable response.

You, the Ninku, never tried to change your ways after that.

If you're so determined to resist,

why did the Ninku withdraw three years ago?

Back then, we didn't know the Tenkuu Dragon existed.

Because Kouchin had acquired the Tenkuu Dragon's power,

our master decided we didn't stand a chance against him!

So in other words, you agree that power is everything.

It all comes down to who's the strongest.

Power is the be-all and end-all for obtaining peace.

You're wrong! I didn't say that.

Open your eyes...

You're the one who should open his eyes.

Prepare yourself, Fuusuke.

Do we really have to fight?

You don't have to. You can just stand there and let me kill you.

You can't be serious.

Then try and kill me instead!

I don't wanna do that!

I just want...

I just want the old you, the gentle you, back!

People change, Fuusuke.

But man, I never knew Kisumi was such a hit with the ladies.

I can't believe he was engaged to the sister of a beautiful woman like you.

My older sister and I are twins.

You look exactly like her, then! Interesting.

That's why when I lost my sister, it felt like half of me was gone.

I get you.

I know just how you-

Come here for a sec!

What is it, Aichou?

These are...

Yeah. They're Fuusuke and Hiroyuki's footprints.

I've got this sinking feeling.

I feel it too.

Something very frightening must be happening around the corner.

Okay, let's get going!

Not a single ship that tried to cross the sea surrounding this cape

made it out in one piece, or so they say.

Hundreds of ships have sunk below the sea.

This place is virtually a graveyard for ships.

Fuusuke!

You will share the same fate.

This cape will be your grave!

Hiroyuki, run!

Air Snow Fist!

Air Pressure Split Fists!

Fuusuke! It seems you've grown a bit stronger.

But this fight will never end if you just keep dodging my attacks.

Kisumi, why do we have to fight like this?

If you believe you're in the right, then fight me with all you've got!

Air Pressure Fist!

Air Ice Corpse!

He's above!

Air Pressure Rend!

Air Snow Barrier!

What's going on over there?

Fuusuke!

Kisumi's there too!

Let's head up there.

Hiroyuki!

Air Ice Sheet!

Kisumi!

Fuusuke...

Fuusuke!

You bastard! I'll kill you!

Kisumi-san...

What gives, you piece of shit?!

It's the dragon.

What?

Fuusuke and friends have reached the cape at last.

But little did they know that Kisumi, having made his move, was waiting for them.

Now that the Tenkuu Dragon has shown itself, which side will it choose?

I won't forgive you.

You've lost the Ninku spirit

and are now hurting others as a way to console yourself.

Looks like you don't even have an ice-cold heart left in you anymore, huh?

Answer me, Kisumi!

It's no use, Fuusuke.

He's too far gone for any of us to reach him!
