Don't think about the consequences. Just live your life the way you want.

Throw away the name of Uesugi...

Leave the Yashashu clan, and live like a normal woman.

That wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Thank you very much, Lord Kagetora.

Thank you for all your services.

This may be the last time we see each other.

Yes.

Can't hold this feeling no more. Just can't pretend to care for.

Chapter 3 Wind of the River's Edge

Takaya, Takaya!

Takaya!

What is it?

What do you...

This is...

The heavens have accepted us as a family of Bishamonten?

Are they providing us with power?

I'm going after the spirits and Rairyu.

I'm going to capture those spirits.

How are you going to deal with such numbers?

On Aromaya Tengu Sumanki Sowaka.

On Hirahira Ken Hirakennou Sowaka.

These spells...

Tengu goblins of Kurama...

Goblins, show me the way!

Show me the way to the spirits of the Araki Clan!

Let's go after them, Naoe!

Those goblins will lead us to the spirits.

As you wish!

There's nothing wrong with your leg. Just keep it cool with this.

How come you're not leaving?

You should leave when you can.

If you stay here any longer, those men from the Ikko sect will come for you.

I can't leave you here.

I owe you a favor.

A favor?

So why don't you exorcise me?

Is it because of Shintaro?

It's none of your business!

What about the Ikko sect?

What are they planning?

What are they trying to do by using you and the Mandala?

They plan to sacrifice me by making the spirits of our clan attack me.

Then the great spiritual power created from that sacrifice will become a cannon.

A cannon?

A cannon capable of firing a beam of spiritual energy.

They called it the "Araki Cannon."

Rairen set the date for the cannon to be created on December 13.

It's the day the clan was executed by the Oda.

Spirits are certainly going to be aggressive that day.

To retaliate against the Oda?

Our clan's vengeful energy by itself is a strong weapon.

Mouri assembled this weapon...

...he agreed to share it with the Ikko sect and swore allegiance.

The problem is where they are planning to place the cannon. They are going to...

...revive our Amagasaki castle.

That area is currently...

It's in the Hanshin industrial area. If the spirits run wild there, then...

My clan was wiped out, and I was the only one left.

I can understand their grudge.

I made them who they are now.

I don't care about the kind of treatment I receive from them.

If I can atone for my sins...

But I couldn't let this all happen, after I found out what their plans were.

This is called justice.

I'm just making up excuses.

Excuses?

There's nothing you could've done about it. You survived.

I'm paying the price for it!

Murashige?

I made up excuses and left the others, so I deserve to be punished!

I made up lies.

I'm dishonest.

I made up a sorry excuse to leave the castle and not help them.

To tell you the truth, I wanted to throw away everything!

I couldn't decide whether to surrender or die alongside them in battle.

Many of them relied on me and asked for help.

I couldn't take all the responsibility and the pressure...

...that was put on my shoulders.

I... fled.

That's right, I fled.

That massacre of our people... is my fault.

Why did you revolt against the Oda, when you knew it was impossible?

This all started probably...

...because Oda suspected a unification of Mouri and the Ikko sect.

Even if it was a rumor, it would stop him from trusting me like before.

So I rebelled before he could come and destroy us.

I had no choice. I was afraid because he doubted me.

But now, it's nothing but an excuse.

I backed out at the last minute...

It's very strange.

Even though this land has changed so much...

...the smell of the air is still the same as it was back then.

I'm not the one you call Shintaro.

I'm not crying.

It's not sad at all.

I'm not going to quit just because I failed once or twice.

I'm not bluffing. I'll just keep on searching.

Keep on waiting. Until my lover is reborn.

I have lots of time.

How sad.

If you don't give yourself a reason to live, then there's no point at all.

If you can't come up with an excuse, then you can't keep on going.

How long should I keep on going?

I don't really know if I still love him.

No more.

How much longer do I have to wait to see him?

Will I really see him one day?

I want to believe. I don't want to doubt.

I really loved him from the bottom of my heart.

You must believe.

When you first met me, you were desperately calling out for Shintaro.

If you didn't love him, you wouldn't have been able to do such a thing!

You still love Shintaro.

That is the truth.

Shintaro.

Did I interrupt?

Let's end this cat and mouse game in Uji, shall we?

I suggest you come back to us.

Shameless Murashige...

Don't come any closer! If you do, I'll exorcise you just like that!

You can't exorcise us.

Amitabha power...

That's right.

The Amitabha Buddha is protecting us.

You should back out of this before you get hurt. If you don't...

...you will die!

Try it if you can!

Who wants to be first?

Do it.

Uesugi!

Run, Murashige!

But...

I'll exorcise them all at once.

Leave this place before you get drawn in!

You can't take on them all...

But I have to do it. They are never gonna die!

Didn't I say you couldn't exorcise us, Uesugi?

You want to die that much?

But I don't want this man to die!

I realize he's not Shintaro.

But...

I've come to help you, my brother!

So you came, Rairyu!

Rairen's younger brother...

Murashige! Damn you, Murashige! We'll never forgive you. Damn you to hell!

Murashige!

That cage was created by the power of Amitabha!

Now there is no escape for you, Murashige!

You belong in our hands now.

What?

Let's see, there's one more annoying person left.

This is a great opportunity to get rid of this Yasha of Uesugi once and for all!

As you wish!

Receive divine protection from Amitabha Buddha and follow my orders!

Vengeful spirits!

Your enemy is this Yasha in front of you!

Destroy her!

I don't think so!

Ari Nari Tonari Anaro Nabi Kunabi.

Bai!

It's not working!

Uesugi's...

I wonder how long you will last, Uesugi.

Painful, isn't it?

Give up and go to hell!

Kagetora...

I think...

...this is it for me.

Shintaro.

Tengu goblins?

Don't hesitate. Attack!

Goblins?

Just in time.

Kagetora...

No!

This is an illusion created by the goblins! All of you, pray for Amitabha Buddha!

Don't give in to the goblins!

Rairyu!

You!

We'll never forgive you. Damn you to hell!

It's no use!

Murashige!

Dashi...

You're Dashi!

Lord Murashige, I will stop them. Leave this place at once, hurry!

Why? Why are you helping me?

I was the one who let you die!

Even you had a grudge against me...

I am your wife.

Dashi...

You...

Lord Murashige.

Dashi... Dashi...

My Dashi... Dashi...

I couldn't save you... again...

Spirits!

I, Murashige Araki, will not flee nor hide from you!

No!

I don't think so!

Come on!

Don't!

Shintaro!

Murashige's soul is departing. Naoe, exorcise!

We can't let them exorcise his soul!

We must protect Murashige!

Hurry, Naoe!

Naoe, I'll do it!

Haruie!

I'll exorcise him. Let me do it!

Keep Rairen and his brother busy.

Bai!

Haruie.

Noumaku Samanda Bodanan Baishiramandaya Sowaka.

Namu Tobatsu Bishamonten. Demons be gone!

Lend us thy power!

Exorcise!

We can exorcise them now! Naoe!

As you wish!

Damn you fools!

Don't think you can escape from our hands! Uesugi!

Bai!

Noumaku Samanda Bodanan Baishiramandaya Sowaka.

Namu Tobatsu Bishamonten. Demons be gone!

Lend us thy power!

Exorcise!

Shintaro.

Back then, I was known as Tsuta. I was exorcising Vengeful spirits left and right.

Does it hurt?

My name is Shintaro Sone.

I found you lying unconscious by the river, and I took care of you.

By the way, I'm a doctor.

Well, I'm still a bit inexperienced.

I've loved birds since I was a child.

I used to think I could be a bird when I grew up.

Hoping to be friends with them when I become a bird...

...I used to feed a little portion of my food to them every day.

Otsuta, please hand me the medicine.

Here.

Thank you.

I grew up in a very poor village. There were no doctors.

I wish I could go back there someday.

Do you want to come with me, Tsuta?

Otsuta, Otsuta.

Otsuta...

Otsuta, Otsuta.

I didn't want to get Shintaro involved.

But...

Why am I having such a hard time taking care of this spirit?

Otsuta!

Shintaro!

I don't want you to blame yourself.

Compared to your life, my arm means nothing to me.

If... if you're really willing to make amends to me...

...then, will you become my right arm?

To make up for my right arm, you can be my right arm.

And...

I want you to be with me until I die.

But he never saw the magnolia kobus flower in his village again.

Shintaro died one year later.

While treating a contagious disease that turned the city of Kyoto into hell...

...he contracted the disease and died helplessly.

Please don't die. Please don't leave me.

I am your right arm. I am part of you.

If you die, I'll die too.

You must not die.

Please don't leave me.

I won't leave you alone.

I promise. Even if I die, I'll never leave you alone.

I'll reincarnate and come back for you.

Please wait for me, Tsuta. I'm sure you will still be my right arm then.

Shintaro.

I promise.

Promise...

Shintaro!

I won't leave you alone. I promise.

Shintaro.

I'll keep on living.

I still believe what you said.

We will definitely meet again.

Someday.

Welcome back.

I guess it's safe to assume that everything...

...is taken care of since nothing else happened after that.

What about you?

I tried every means possible. I did whatever I could do.

Now, we'll just have to see if my company and I have any luck left.

Tachibana.

Yes?

Would you like to work for my company?

Can you help me rebuild my company?

I want you to be my right-hand man.

Thank you very much.

You have many wonderful employees that are more than willing to serve you.

I guess your answer is no.

Chairman.

That's all right.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I'm truly sorry that I can't be of any help.

You did great.

You're a wonderful leader.

I really liked you.

Take care.

Did you want to work for him?

He was a bit rough, but convincing.

Just like a certain military commander from the past.

A soldier would be more than happy to die for a man like that.

I'm sure I could've accomplished great things with that chairman.

I wouldn't mind if you went with him.

Are you sure about that?

There's no turning back after being loyal to a master, right?

Why don't you go back to your kind master?

Even a dog can break free from its leash.

It was never my plan to keep you.

But if you run away...

...than you've lost.

If you don't want to be called a loser, then try to beat me.

If you can beat me, then that is the day...

...you can have me.

You always wondered just how much longer you have to go.

You always wondered just how much longer you have to go.

Lying under... The clouds of fear that refuse to flow.

Lying under... The clouds of fear that refuse to flow.

Tears of indigo...

Tears of indigo...

You don't have to cry no more. Hey, it's time for us to go on home.

You don't have to cry no more. Hey, it's time for us to go on home.
