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.

By some twist of fate, Former Seventh Squad Captain, Kisumi the Ice,

confronted Fuusuke and friends in a final showdown.

However, Fuusuke tried to defy fate and save Kisumi by sacrificing himself.

In the end, he obtained the Tenkuu Dragon's true power.

And thanks to the dragon's power,

Kisumi opened his heart at the plea of his late fiancée Miyuki,

made up with Fuusuke and friends, and vanished.

After parting ways with Misato,

they head to the Imperial Army's secret prison to rescue Fuusuke's mother.

It's kind of hard to see with all the fog, but that's probably Vine Swamp Mountain.

Good for you, Fuusuke.

You'll get to see your mom soon.

Yeah, I'm really happy!

Do you miss your mom's breasts?

I'm not a baby!

Don't mind us. Just suck on them to your heart's content!

Just let me suck on the other boob.

Can it, you big perv!

This isn't the time for dumb jokes!

Yeah, we're about to infiltrate the enemy's secret base, after all.

We haven't any idea why they kidnapped Fuusuke's mom and locked her up.

Let's be extra careful and travel on foot from here.

Sure!

Let's get going, Hiroyuki!

H-Hey! Wait up, Fuusuke!

Didn't you hear me?!

How are you gonna lead us when you're terrible with directions?!

C'mon, wait up, Fuusuke!

I'm back! Mom, I...

Kotarou.

Chuutatsu the Mayfly...

I happened to have business nearby, so I dropped in.

Kotarou, don't just stand there. You got a friend visiting.

Are you all right?

Pardon me.

You should lie down and get some rest, ma'am.

I can talk with him outside. Right?

Yeah.

It took five years.

I've been looking for you, Kotarou the Fog Spider.

You won't be able to kill me with that.

I'm the most nimble guy in the clan.

You're aware of the shinobi code, correct?

Only death awaits runaway ninjas.

And I'll keep on running away.

While carrying your ill mother?

She's in a pretty bad way, wouldn't you say?

Now, now, let's not jump to conclusions.

Depending on how things go, I just might turn a blind eye.

What?

I've received intel that wanted men will be crossing this mountain in a couple of days.

The Imperial Army is offering hefty rewards to anyone who kills them.

You want me to kill them?

You'll get a thirty percent cut.

More than enough money for pricey medicine.

Thirty percent? That's unacceptably little.

That's the price you have to pay in exchange for freedom.

And my opponent?

The Ninku.

The Ninku?

Can I...

really defeat the Ninku?

This fog's so thick I can't make heads or tails of where we're going!

Ow...

Didn't see that coming.

You guys gotta watch out, or you'll trip like me!

Hey, guys, where'd ya go?

Aichou! Touji! Rihoko!

Boy, it looks like they got lost, as though they're little kids.

Oh, it's just a child.

That's a relief.

I think the one who got lost here was you, kid.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right.

By the way, how long have you been here?

I couldn't sense you at all.

I didn't do my ninja arts training deep in the mountains for nothing.

Concealing my presence is a simple matter.

So you're a ninja?

Right! I'm the great Kotarou, ninja among ninja.

I've got more than just a knack for it.

You've got more than just a snack?

Then I'd like some curry rice and chowder.

Wrong! I said more than just a knack.

In other words, I'm an insanely strong ninja.

Insanely strong? In what way?

Wanna find out?

Yeah! I insanely wanna see it!

Then for starters, kid, try and catch me.

It's like hide-and-seek!

Yeah, bring it on.

Okay, Hiroyuki. Let's get him.

Catch him!

Down here!

You're really something!

That was the Shadow Scatter Technique.

It's a technique only honest-to-goodness ninjas can use.

What's with this fog?

He disappeared.

Up here, kid.

When did you...

This one's called the Fog Concealing Technique.

You really are amazing!

You should teach me when you get a chance!

Watch out!

What?

You all right?

Y-Yeah!

Oh, so you're on a journey in search of your mother.

It's done.

You're a pretty nice guy.

You must have been starving.

So what are you doing here, Kotarou?

Ninja arts training.

This mountain is basically my backyard.

Then, do you know where Vine Swamp Mountain is?

I'm on my way to rescue my mom. She's held in prison there.

But I have no idea where to go.

The prison on Vine Swamp Mountain?

It's right past this mountain.

Really?

You're a lifesaver!

Is there anything I can do for you in return?

Tell me if there's anything you need help with.

What I need help with, huh?

I just wish I had the money to buy my sick mom some medicine.

Then there's also...

Here!

I'm happy to chip in.

Thanks, but no thanks.

That's nowhere near enough to buy medicine.

Also, if I defeat the wanted Ninku,

I'll get a mighty sum.

The Ninku?

A reward?

So you're looking for the Ninku to capture them, perhaps kill them?

It's a dirty job, but I've gotta do it for my mom.

Another reason I'm interested is that fighting a tough opponent

should show how much I've gained from my training.

I...

I don't want to fight you.

What are you blabbering about, kid?

What gave you that idea?

Don't tell me you're a...

Kotarou-san, looks like you've already found a Ninku.

Prepare yourself...

Former Ninku First Captain, Fuusuke the Rat Ninja.

The Ninku's Fuusuke.

You're him?

Kotarou, why are you all worked up?

Are you seriously going to fight me?

Fuusuke...

Sorry, but it's for me and my mom.

Is there no way out of this?

Right.

I don't hold any grudges against you,

but I don't think I can afford to hold back here.

I'm going all out!

Fog Concealing Technique.

Where did he go?

You're a Ninku, all right.

Say, could we call this off?

You're a good guy.

I want to be your friend, not fight you.

Likewise.

But this is our fate.

Even so...

No more words.

A ninja needs no sympathy.

Let's do this!

There's nowhere to run now!

I caught them all!

Try this on for size!

Damn.

Try this! Air Shuriken!

So you're finally serious.

I can't afford to die here!

Same here.

The fog is my friend.

It moves exactly the way I ask it to.

I-It's that Fog Concealing Technique again.

Where is he gonna strike from?

In the fog, you won't be able to tell until right before it hits you.

Dammit.

You know what? I'll blow all this fog away.

Wind Pressure-

What? I can't move.

This one's Spider Silk Technique.

And next up is my Hair Needle Cast Technique!

It's no use!

What?! He disappeared!

That was a close call.

That's my Shadow Scatter Technique.

You can mimic my techniques after just seeing them once?

Wind Pressure Palm!

This wind...

Just like how the fog is your friend, the wind is mine!

This kid can manipulate wind freely?!

You're really strong.

Let's call it a draw.

I-I can't give up just yet.

I need to do it for my bedridden mom.

Fog Robe Technique!

Air Pressure Fist!

Y-You're strong!

I only won by sheer luck.

If I hadn't known your moves before the fight,

I might have lost.

But a loss is a loss. Finish me!

I won't do that!

You're not a bad guy.

You only attacked me so that you could get some medicine for your mother.

Your techniques really pack a wallop!

You should use your talent for better causes.

What are you doing, Kotarou?

Wait...

Right now, I might have a chance of killing this Ninku kid, along with Kotarou.

Oh, right! I've got something here.

My master gave me some medicinal herbs.

I'm sure they'll help your mother get better.

Fuusuke, how can you be so...

Fuusuke, behind you!

Die!

Kotarou-san, you know...

I guess you weren't as strong as I thought.

Y-You bastard!

You're next. If I bring your head to the boss,

I should get an even bigger reward!

Hey, are you sure you killed the Ninku?

What?

What happened to all the blood? Where'd he go?

I'm right here.

Damn you! Die!

You...

Don't sweat it.

As a runaway ninja, I'll always be a marked man.

But I'm determined to break free from them all.

Take this.

Thank you.

Kotarou...

I guess this is goodbye.

Yeah.

I wish you all the best in finding your mother.

Let's go, Hiroyuki.

Fuusuke!

I swear, where in the hell did Fuusuke go?

What's that sound?

Imperial Army trucks.

There's no doubt.

Looks like they're headed toward that swamp.

Let's check it out.

Yeah.

It's almost time.

Yamabuki-sama,

we're here to take you to the Capital, where Archbishop Kouchin awaits.

You'll be using your powers as the core of the castle for the Imperial Army.

And one more thing.

Looks like your son's here at Vine Swamp Mountain looking for you.

Fuusuke is?

Unfortunately, you'll have to leave before you have a chance to see him.

Fuusuke's on this mountain.

All right, escort her.

Mom...

Hiroyuki, that was my mom just now.

I feel like my mom called for me.

Let's get moving.

You find anyone?

Not a soul in sight.

Is it possible?

Perhaps those trucks came to take Fuusuke's mom away from here.

No way!

We were so close to rescuing Fuusuke's mom!

Guys!

Fuusuke!

Aichou, Touji. Did you find my mom?

She's somewhere here, right?

Mom, where are you?

She's not here.

Mom, I'm here to rescue you! Answer me!

Mom's nowhere!

Damn it all.

Mom's scent...

Mom...

H-Hey, Fuusuke!

Mom!
