Original subtitles

There were people who loathed one another.

Their corpses withered in the fields, their souls soaked in blood...

And their bonds were broken by blades...

Collapsed in the darkness, their sincerity wails...

"My beloved, please die... "

"My beloved, please die..."

Clouds shroud a night with a waning moon quivering in the haze

A cruel trap involving a pair of crucified fledglings

Oh, since smoldering feelings lie firmly in their hearts...

...destruction!

Gently as the water, severely as a flower

pierced with a trembling blade

Even when I shut the fated tears deep within my eyes

my eyelids still remember you

"Wild Dance of Butterflies"

"Sekiyado"

That will do, Kagero.

What will you do now, Gennosuke-sama?

Surely you cannot journey to Sunpu with your eyes as such.

The purpose of this outing is to determine the retired shogun's intent.

We cannot turn back until we've accomplished that.

An attack by the Iga was not unexpected.

We will never reach Sunpu if we shy away so easily.

I apologize for my needless worries.

We leave the minute Saemon returns. Let us prepare.

Gennosuke-sama...

I only hope my worries truly are needless...

There is no turning back from this blood-soaked, hellish journey...

Nenki-dono! What did you just say?!

I said I have wonderful news!

I've slain Gennosuke and the others with my own hands!

Kouga Gennosuke?

He was unable to use his Dojutsu...

And Muroga Hyoma?

It goes without saying that cutting that blind shinobi

was easier than cutting a daikon radish!

While I was at it, I also took care of the Kagero girl who scurried off

while covered in your butterflies.

That only leaves...

Then what about Kisaragi Saemon?!

It's a real pity, but he managed to get away...

That isn't like you, Nenki-dono!

Don't be like that.

So you're still alive, Kisaragi Saemon...

Oh, yes.

Kagero confessed to me at death's door...

Apparently it was Kisaragi Saemon who killed Yashamaru.

Nenki-dono! How could you, of all people, make such a blunder?!

Kisaragi Saemon...

So he really was the one who killed Yashamaru...

He was the one...

You, more than anyone, should have slain Saemon!

No. This may be-

This may be divine providence. So that I can slay Kisaragi Saemon...

Can you, Hotarubi?

There's no telling whose face he might take, you know.

I will not be deceived, no matter whom Saemon turns into!

I will not be deceived!

To think you would see...

...through me, Hotarubi!

Kisaragi... Saemon...

Ya...

Yashamaru-dono...

Ya...

Yashamaru-dono...

Yashamaru-dono...

"Kuwana Port"

Why do we have to go through the trouble of taking a boat?!

Going by sea, of all things...

Crossing a seven-league sea is deplorable!

Jingoro-dono. Do you hate the ocean that badly?

Of course I do! Who knows what'll happen if I fall in the salty ocean?!

Just thinking about it makes me shake uncontrollably!

Quit your fretting, Jingoro. It's not as if we're swimming across.

I know that! But I can't help that I'm afraid of it!

I don't sense that the Kouga group has used a boat in this area.

If they've taken the Saya Pass, then we should get there first by boat.

But Tenzen-sama... Nenki-dono and Hotarubi have yet to return...

Should we really be taking this ship?

We have no time to wait for people we've lost contact with.

The fact they have yet to show themselves indicates just that.

Ship's leaving now!

I do not wish to fight, but nor will I avoid any attack from you.

Should the trip become a war to the death

between the five Kouga and the seven Iga, then so be it.

The seven Iga...

Gennosuke-sama counted me as one of his seven remaining enemies...

He must think that I knowingly led him into a trap...

I want nothing more than for him to know that wasn't the case...

And then...

Please be careful, Princess.

Koshiro... You were right by my side!

Oboro-sama!

Oh, here you are!

It's dangerous here. Come inside...

Just a little longer...

Oboro-sama?

This is my first time sailing...

May I at least smell the seawater, Akeginu?

The smell of the sea... The sound of the waves...

The sounds of the seabirds... There are so many firsts for me...

Why am I here, I wonder?

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

That was great! I was spellbound!

--Hey, play us another one! --Yeah!

Gennosuke-sama...

Akeginu.

Yes?

Could you take Jingoro with you to the stern hold?

The stern hold?

I'd like to speak with Oboro-sama alone.

Have Koshiro keep guard so that no one nears the central hold.

Come, now.

I'm only going to sit her down, not make any disturbing advances.

That sounds fine, but what exactly are you going to tell Oboro-sama?

We may encounter the Kouga group when we arrive at Miya Port.

However, Oboro-sama's heart does not appear to be in this,

which makes me feel most uneasy...

While we are at sea, I must determine where her devotion lies

and then have her mend her ways at all costs.

I'm counting on you.

Tenzen-sama.

What is it?

If...

If Oboro-sama doesn't heed what you have to say...

...what will you do?

Worry not. Oboro-sama will heed me. I'm certain of it.

That was some great flute-playing!

That's for sure! Let's treat him to a drink later!

Oh! Good idea!

How much further until Miya Port, Akeginu?!

Who's there?

Tenzen?

Tenzen... Where are Akeginu and the others?

Akeginu and Jingoro are in the stern hold.

Why won't they come here?

Tenzen?!

I have something I wish to tell you...

The mist of sorrow softly touches these lips blotted with red droplets

The mirror in the sky beautifully illuminates the distance in the night

Giving more than a passing thought to the myriad of showering stars

gently, the cords of a deep bond firmly, firmly bind them

Those beautiful eyes that sparkle with a lazuline hue...

Even if they wind up closed by a harbinger from the darkness,

since no one can steal the bridge of connected dreams

they still reflect the limitless tomorrow

"Next Episode"

Close bonds have turned to bitter hostilities.

Now, more than ever, the maiden feels compassion

as she surrenders to secluded remembrances.

Vile hands violate the rules of master and servant.

Painful screams break the sounds of the sea

and drives the "one who conceals " into a frenzy.

On the next Basilisk~ Kouga Ninpouchou-

"Strait of Strewn Flowers"
