1
00:00:01,919 --> 00:00:05,173
Under the seven stars shining in the sky,

2
00:00:05,256 --> 00:00:10,136
a dreadful assassination art
lay hidden for 1,800 long years

3
00:00:10,219 --> 00:00:12,847
in the darkness of history.

4
00:00:17,309 --> 00:00:21,856
Living in history's shadows,
concealed in history's darkness,

5
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:25,025
it's an art that moved through the ages.

6
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:26,902
And its name is...

7
00:02:08,921 --> 00:02:13,217
MESSENGER FROM THE HOMELAND

8
00:02:15,427 --> 00:02:16,846
Auntie...

9
00:02:17,304 --> 00:02:18,639
Everyone...

10
00:02:19,390 --> 00:02:21,225
Wait for me.

11
00:02:22,351 --> 00:02:23,477
I promise...

12
00:02:42,913 --> 00:02:45,082
W... Who's there?

13
00:03:02,099 --> 00:03:04,435
Thank you.

14
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:06,478
Who are you?

15
00:03:12,484 --> 00:03:15,404
It's God...

16
00:03:23,329 --> 00:03:27,750
I looked away for one second,
and she vanished.

17
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,127
Man, that was a close one.

18
00:03:31,295 --> 00:03:32,755
Hey, it's you!

19
00:03:32,838 --> 00:03:34,965
You're alive?
- Huh?

20
00:03:36,008 --> 00:03:37,009
Ken!

21
00:03:37,843 --> 00:03:41,263
What did you get up to
after sending us back from God's Land?

22
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:43,933
I finished what I started.

23
00:03:44,308 --> 00:03:45,935
I destroyed God's Land.

24
00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:49,688
So, that stuff was true?

25
00:03:50,022 --> 00:03:52,316
See? I told you.

26
00:03:52,399 --> 00:03:55,236
He actually destroyed God's Land.

27
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,239
He's not like your average guy, you know.

28
00:03:58,322 --> 00:04:00,491
Sure, but...

29
00:04:00,908 --> 00:04:03,911
Well? Do you believe us now, old man?

30
00:04:05,162 --> 00:04:06,497
Serves you right!

31
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:08,290
God's Land?

32
00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:10,960
Why're you the one bragging, Bat?

33
00:04:11,043 --> 00:04:12,711
Hey, come on...

34
00:04:15,673 --> 00:04:20,928
Are you the man
who single-handedly destroyed God's Land?

35
00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:22,680
We've been looking for you.

36
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:24,723
For me?

37
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:27,017
We heard all about you.

38
00:04:27,184 --> 00:04:30,312
Wanted to invite you to our group.

39
00:04:30,813 --> 00:04:33,357
With you, we'd be even stronger.

40
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,152
Nothing could stop us.

41
00:04:36,235 --> 00:04:37,695
Hold it right there.

42
00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:41,782
If you want him,
you gotta take it up with me, his manager.

43
00:04:42,074 --> 00:04:43,826
Stay out of this, brat!

44
00:04:47,204 --> 00:04:48,288
Bat!

45
00:04:49,123 --> 00:04:52,251
Are you in?
And it's not volunteer work either.

46
00:04:52,334 --> 00:04:55,129
We'll pay you what you're worth.

47
00:04:56,922 --> 00:05:00,300
I see. You've got a nice body.

48
00:05:02,594 --> 00:05:04,972
Seven scars on his chest!

49
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:06,390
He's...

50
00:05:07,016 --> 00:05:11,228
He's the guy who took down
King's gang all on his own.

51
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:12,187
Hey.

52
00:05:13,313 --> 00:05:15,649
Keep your filthy hands off me.

53
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:24,200
Bastard!

54
00:05:24,283 --> 00:05:25,367
Hold it.

55
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:31,373
You're so loud.

56
00:05:32,416 --> 00:05:34,084
Keep it down.

57
00:05:34,585 --> 00:05:36,253
Yes, sir.

58
00:05:52,186 --> 00:05:55,064
Ugh, who's this dirty kid?

59
00:05:55,147 --> 00:05:56,106
Stay out.

60
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:59,610
You're that kid...

61
00:06:01,612 --> 00:06:03,906
Please...

62
00:06:03,989 --> 00:06:07,951
Save Auntie, and everyone in my village.

63
00:06:09,411 --> 00:06:13,874
What's this? Another weirdo showed up.

64
00:06:13,957 --> 00:06:17,461
Wow, he's covered in dirt.

65
00:06:17,795 --> 00:06:20,130
Here. At least wipe your face off.

66
00:06:20,464 --> 00:06:23,759
We don't have time
to save others around here.

67
00:06:23,842 --> 00:06:24,760
Scram.

68
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,763
Thank you.

69
00:06:27,846 --> 00:06:29,890
Keep it. And don't come near me.

70
00:06:30,349 --> 00:06:31,892
Damn...

71
00:06:37,356 --> 00:06:39,567
Taki, is that you?!

72
00:06:39,650 --> 00:06:40,567
Hey!

73
00:06:40,901 --> 00:06:42,820
That voice...

74
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:44,696
B... Bat!

75
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:48,659
Wait. What do you mean, "that voice"?

76
00:06:48,784 --> 00:06:50,786
You can't be serious.

77
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:52,454
Did you go blind?

78
00:06:58,502 --> 00:07:00,754
Bat!

79
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:03,632
Hey, what happened to you?

80
00:07:03,715 --> 00:07:05,301
Just calm down and tell us.

81
00:07:05,384 --> 00:07:06,885
Why can't you see anymore?

82
00:07:07,302 --> 00:07:11,682
I left the village
and kept walking in the desert.

83
00:07:11,765 --> 00:07:14,560
I think the sun damaged my eyes.

84
00:07:14,893 --> 00:07:17,438
But I can still see a little.

85
00:07:17,521 --> 00:07:20,524
Wait, you walked through that desert?

86
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:21,608
Why?

87
00:07:22,359 --> 00:07:25,613
The village's well
dried up all of a sudden,

88
00:07:25,696 --> 00:07:27,823
so we couldn't get water from it anymore.

89
00:07:27,906 --> 00:07:31,243
That's when everyone left the village.

90
00:07:31,577 --> 00:07:35,748
The orphans don't have
anyone to care for them,

91
00:07:35,831 --> 00:07:37,916
so Auntie stayed to dig a new well.

92
00:07:38,542 --> 00:07:42,546
But she can't do it on her own.

93
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:46,925
Is that old hag for real?
She's still alive?

94
00:07:47,342 --> 00:07:50,262
There's water. I know there is.

95
00:07:50,387 --> 00:07:52,681
But we need a man.

96
00:07:52,764 --> 00:07:54,808
We can't do it without a man's strength.

97
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:57,978
So, you came to find workers?

98
00:07:58,103 --> 00:08:01,440
Who'd wanna help in this day and age?

99
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:03,192
Bat...

100
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,361
Huh? Well, um...

101
00:08:07,905 --> 00:08:08,947
Ken...

102
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:11,158
Bat.

103
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:13,452
Where is your village?

104
00:08:13,744 --> 00:08:14,745
What?

105
00:08:19,291 --> 00:08:21,126
Water, huh?

106
00:08:22,002 --> 00:08:23,712
Get over here.

107
00:08:23,795 --> 00:08:25,130
Yes, sir.

108
00:08:31,345 --> 00:08:35,182
How many times do I have to tell you?

109
00:08:35,265 --> 00:08:40,771
If you wanna live a long life,
don't fight people stronger than you.

110
00:08:42,731 --> 00:08:47,110
You bastards aren't cut out
to work under me.

111
00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:10,301
Man, this place is totally wrecked.

112
00:09:10,384 --> 00:09:12,803
No wonder everyone left.

113
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:15,264
We're here, aren't we, Bat?

114
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:16,348
Yeah.

115
00:09:16,431 --> 00:09:19,894
But the way I see it,
there's no saving this place.

116
00:09:19,977 --> 00:09:21,436
I bet that old hag's dead.

117
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:25,190
No, I'm sure she's at the new well.

118
00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:32,406
Oh, that must be it.

119
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:34,533
Auntie!

120
00:09:34,616 --> 00:09:37,369
Bat's back!

121
00:09:37,452 --> 00:09:40,914
And I found someone to help out!

122
00:09:41,331 --> 00:09:43,292
You old crow!

123
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:47,213
I came all this way,
and you're not even gonna say hi?

124
00:09:47,296 --> 00:09:48,171
Ouch!

125
00:09:49,673 --> 00:09:51,717
How dare you show your face around here.

126
00:09:51,967 --> 00:09:54,511
You dumb, self-indulgent son of mine.

127
00:09:56,847 --> 00:09:59,058
You old hag!

128
00:09:59,141 --> 00:10:01,018
Big Bro!

129
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:02,978
Bat!

130
00:10:07,774 --> 00:10:09,985
Thank you for coming.

131
00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:12,154
I am Toyo.

132
00:10:12,821 --> 00:10:14,740
You must be tired.

133
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:15,991
Auntie.

134
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:17,868
Auntie!

135
00:10:17,951 --> 00:10:20,412
Huh? What's this?

136
00:10:20,495 --> 00:10:22,748
Why do you have this bandage?

137
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:24,583
No need to worry.

138
00:10:24,875 --> 00:10:28,754
His eyes were damaged
after his long trek through the desert,

139
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:32,924
but they should heal slowly over time.

140
00:10:33,175 --> 00:10:35,385
My, is that so?

141
00:10:36,845 --> 00:10:41,058
In any case, I'm so glad you're home safe.

142
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:43,852
Sneaking off like that...

143
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:48,732
Here.

144
00:10:49,024 --> 00:10:51,652
You must be thirsty after your journey.

145
00:10:51,735 --> 00:10:53,612
Oh, thanks!

146
00:11:01,912 --> 00:11:04,290
What's the matter, Taki?

147
00:11:04,373 --> 00:11:06,166
Drink up.

148
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:08,669
But this is...

149
00:11:08,752 --> 00:11:09,836
It's fine.

150
00:11:10,837 --> 00:11:12,506
Okay.

151
00:11:19,513 --> 00:11:24,101
Why did no one try to dig the new well?

152
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:27,521
Water is guaranteed to flow.

153
00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:31,191
Even a geologist from here said so.

154
00:11:31,274 --> 00:11:36,488
But it's impossible to get through
the thick layer of bedrock below.

155
00:11:36,571 --> 00:11:39,574
That's why everyone gave up.

156
00:11:40,117 --> 00:11:43,578
Then you and the kids will someday
have to leave the village.

157
00:11:44,287 --> 00:11:48,500
I can't possibly
go on a journey with the kids.

158
00:11:48,667 --> 00:11:51,378
Staying here is our only option.

159
00:11:53,296 --> 00:11:55,340
Their parents were murdered,

160
00:11:55,674 --> 00:11:59,178
or they were only seen
as a burden and left behind.

161
00:11:59,261 --> 00:12:02,848
That's why I care for them now.

162
00:12:03,682 --> 00:12:08,062
In my eyes, they are all my children.

163
00:12:08,145 --> 00:12:11,064
My sweet, adorable children.

164
00:12:13,442 --> 00:12:16,570
I never thought of you as my mom, got it?

165
00:12:16,862 --> 00:12:22,701
Yeah, I've never thought of
a brat like you as my child either.

166
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:24,119
Hmph!

167
00:12:26,455 --> 00:12:30,167
I can't help but find
dummies like him adorable.

168
00:12:33,837 --> 00:12:35,172
I'm jealous.

169
00:12:45,015 --> 00:12:48,143
Want to sleep next to me tonight?

170
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,436
Hmm?

171
00:12:56,151 --> 00:12:58,320
Ken!

172
00:12:58,904 --> 00:12:59,780
What's wrong?

173
00:12:59,863 --> 00:13:01,532
It's Taki!

174
00:13:01,615 --> 00:13:05,452
He went to steal water in the next town
because the old hag gave him water.

175
00:13:05,827 --> 00:13:06,703
What?

176
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:11,458
Drinking water from another village
is a death sentence!

177
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:15,712
And that village
has a monster guarding their water.

178
00:13:16,421 --> 00:13:19,091
What the hell's that punk thinking?

179
00:13:19,174 --> 00:13:20,133
Where is it?

180
00:13:20,425 --> 00:13:21,718
Three kilometers east.

181
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:24,251
It's right out in the open,
so you can't miss it.

182
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:31,770
I better run away quick.

183
00:13:36,525 --> 00:13:38,401
N... No way.

184
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:46,701
Die, you street rat.

185
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:06,596
You stole our water, huh?

186
00:14:08,890 --> 00:14:12,060
You have no right to do this.

187
00:14:12,394 --> 00:14:13,645
Who the hell are you?

188
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,363
Taki...

189
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,158
Why would you do such a thing?

190
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:31,371
Mister...

191
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:36,209
Give this to Auntie.

192
00:14:36,835 --> 00:14:39,338
Auntie...

193
00:14:39,421 --> 00:14:43,175
she hasn't had a drop of water.

194
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:45,552
She's giving her share

195
00:14:45,635 --> 00:14:48,764
to everyone else.

196
00:14:48,847 --> 00:14:52,142
But even then, we'll only last

197
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:54,894
another two days at most.

198
00:14:55,186 --> 00:14:58,565
We'll die before we find any water.

199
00:14:58,732 --> 00:15:00,025
It's that bad?

200
00:15:00,108 --> 00:15:02,444
Mister...

201
00:15:02,527 --> 00:15:05,739
Mister, I know...

202
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:09,284
you can save everyone.

203
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:12,579
I'm sure of it.

204
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:15,290
I know you can.

205
00:15:19,085 --> 00:15:20,670
Taki.

206
00:15:21,421 --> 00:15:23,381
Taki!

207
00:15:38,855 --> 00:15:40,106
Taki!

208
00:15:46,196 --> 00:15:48,990
He said this is for you.

209
00:15:52,994 --> 00:15:58,166
W... Why did he have to die?

210
00:15:58,667 --> 00:16:02,754
He was such a kind child, so why?

211
00:16:03,713 --> 00:16:08,259
He was only seven.

212
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:35,161
The life of a purehearted child

213
00:16:36,538 --> 00:16:39,332
stolen over a flask of water...

214
00:16:40,250 --> 00:16:42,127
What has this world come to?

215
00:16:49,968 --> 00:16:52,721
I know it's Ken,
but crushing bedrock is impossible.

216
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:55,348
Taki!

217
00:17:05,984 --> 00:17:07,944
It's water!

218
00:17:16,286 --> 00:17:17,662
My God...

219
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:21,750
Taki spoke so highly of you,

220
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,668
but who are you?

221
00:17:24,419 --> 00:17:28,173
We can't let anyone know
there's water here.

222
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,592
If word gets out,

223
00:17:30,884 --> 00:17:33,428
you'll fall prey to bandits in an instant.

224
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:36,431
Please keep it hidden.

225
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:45,565
Looks like there's water.

226
00:17:45,815 --> 00:17:48,985
Shall we go ahead and steal it, Jackal?

227
00:17:49,527 --> 00:17:50,737
Don't rush it.

228
00:17:51,029 --> 00:17:54,073
That guy probably uses Hokuto Shinken.

229
00:17:54,783 --> 00:17:58,704
There's no need to risk our lives
to kill an elephant.

230
00:17:58,787 --> 00:18:02,332
We'll just prey on the elephant's meat.

231
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:05,460
The scouts are going in without orders!

232
00:18:09,631 --> 00:18:11,633
Those idiots.

233
00:18:11,716 --> 00:18:13,927
They have no idea who they're up against.

234
00:18:14,636 --> 00:18:17,555
All right, watch closely.

235
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:21,684
You'll see just how terrifying he is.

236
00:18:21,935 --> 00:18:25,688
Woo-hoo!
- It's water!

237
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:28,483
Beat it!
- Get lost!

238
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:30,276
Auntie!

239
00:18:30,568 --> 00:18:31,862
Those hyenas.

240
00:18:31,945 --> 00:18:35,114
They already sniffed out our water?

241
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:36,324
Huh?

242
00:18:38,660 --> 00:18:40,370
This is great.

243
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:44,374
With all this water,
we don't have to roam around anymore.

244
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:45,333
Hey.

245
00:18:45,708 --> 00:18:46,751
Huh?

246
00:18:47,418 --> 00:18:50,171
Drink your fill, get out,

247
00:18:50,588 --> 00:18:54,050
and forget that you ever saw water here.

248
00:18:54,676 --> 00:18:55,677
What?

249
00:18:57,136 --> 00:19:00,348
Who the hell are you?

250
00:19:00,431 --> 00:19:04,394
You really think we'd let
a water source like this slip by?

251
00:19:04,811 --> 00:19:08,231
Listen up. This place is ours now.

252
00:19:08,690 --> 00:19:12,193
We'll slaughter anyone
who gets in our way.

253
00:19:17,323 --> 00:19:19,826
I guess you're not gonna listen.

254
00:19:20,994 --> 00:19:22,537
Arrogant fool.

255
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:24,706
Picking a fight with us, huh?

256
00:19:25,081 --> 00:19:26,833
Die!

257
00:19:31,754 --> 00:19:33,047
You bastard!

258
00:19:38,636 --> 00:19:41,180
Hokuto Finger-snap of Emptiness.

259
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:47,521
I erased your memories
from the last few days.

260
00:19:47,604 --> 00:19:49,522
What did you say?!

261
00:19:53,651 --> 00:19:56,988
Bat, get rid of them in the desert.

262
00:19:57,071 --> 00:19:57,947
Huh?

263
00:19:59,741 --> 00:20:05,872
But with guys like them hanging around,
it's not safe here, even with water.

264
00:20:10,793 --> 00:20:12,420
Get it now?

265
00:20:12,587 --> 00:20:15,423
We can wait.
The water's not going anywhere.

266
00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:24,933
Hopefully those bandits passing by
were just a coincidence, but...

267
00:20:25,016 --> 00:20:26,809
I understand.

268
00:20:26,976 --> 00:20:28,394
You needn't worry.

269
00:20:28,978 --> 00:20:32,649
If it comes down to it, I've got this.

270
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:38,613
Wow, that's incredible.

271
00:20:39,322 --> 00:20:41,658
It still has some bullets too.

272
00:20:57,715 --> 00:21:01,010
If I stay, disaster will strike.

273
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:02,929
Be well.

274
00:21:08,935 --> 00:21:10,687
M... Mister--

275
00:21:10,979 --> 00:21:14,440
Shh, let's see him off in silence.

276
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:19,404
It's his destiny
to continue on his travels.

277
00:21:20,488 --> 00:21:25,326
This world is filled
with people just like us,

278
00:21:25,493 --> 00:21:28,746
waiting for that man to appear.

279
00:21:30,415 --> 00:21:32,041
Stay safe.

280
00:21:37,255 --> 00:21:40,925
You aren't leaving without me, got it?

281
00:21:41,259 --> 00:21:43,011
I'm coming too.

282
00:21:46,097 --> 00:21:47,432
Do as you please.

283
00:21:53,521 --> 00:21:57,692
He's far enough.
He won't hear those brats scream now.

284
00:22:00,111 --> 00:22:02,822
That pain in the ass is gone now.

285
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:05,450
Let's go!

286
00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:07,702
Yeah!

287
00:23:36,999 --> 00:23:40,002
