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.

This really sucks.

Hey, Fuusuke.

What?

Where are we supposed to meet up with Touji-niichan?

Yeah, I wonder.

What was that?!

What's that supposed to mean? What exactly?

Do you mean to say we're lost?

Don't worry.

I think we're supposed to meet in the north, so we're fine if we keep going this way.

That's eastwards.

Really?

This isn't a laughing matter!

And here I was going to kill time shopping when we hit the next town!

Huh?

Hiroyuki!

Hey, where are you going?!

Hey, Hiroyuki!

Who're you?

I'm Fuusuke.

I'm Hiroyuki's friend.

Hiroyuki? This penguin's called Hiroyuki?

That's right.

Yay!

I screwed up.

There's no way that brat could ever escort a beautiful lady like me.

I'll go shopping by myself!

That's heavy!

Don't move!

Okay.

It's dinnertime, everyone!

It's curry tonight.

Later, Fuusuke!

It's so heavy I can't get out, Hiroyuki.

Good thing my nose is stuffed up.

Welcome back, everyone.

Yay! Curry! Curry!

Hold your horses.

Who are you?

Me? My name is Fuusuke.

That's a no-go, Fuusuke-kun.

Go back to your own home.

But it's dinnertime, right?

I'm hungry...

Listen. This place is called Heart's Home.

It's a home for the poor children who lost their parents to the war.

We only have enough food for our residents.

Okay?

Try to understand.

I see. Okay.

Later, then.

What? What's that noise?

Sorry! That's my tummy's noise.

Your stomach's noise?

Na-chan, it's all right.

He must be hungry.

Mother, you need to get your sleep.

It's okay. I feel good today.

Fuusuke-kun, you may eat with us if you like.

Really?

In exchange, I want you to go home to your mother afterwards.

I don't know if Mommy's even alive.

I'm traveling in search of Mommy.

Mommy smells good, she's beautiful, and she's super nice.

Do you know her?

Phew, I'm stuffed!

My, you must have been starving.

You're amazing.

There isn't any meat in this curry, is there?

Don't be so picky.

But it's still pretty good.

You bet! It's Mother's curry!

I see. So Mother's a good cook.

I'm all right, Na-chan. I only hurt a little.

No, you need to get your rest.

I'll be fine!

Oh, Fuusuke-kun!

Dear me!

Here, blow your nose.

So, what were you praying for?

I was praying for the children to stay safe and healthy.

Did you pray for me, too?

Yes, of course.

I asked for your cold to go away soon.

Mother, you're sick too, aren't you?

Is there anything I can do to help?

I'll watch over you or do housework or whatever.

Thank you.

Oh, my!

You have a fever.

Over here.

You can sleep here tonight.

You must be fatigued from your travels.

You kinda smell like Mommy.

Then you can think of me as your real mother if you like.

Really?

Yes.

Over here, Fuusuke!

Mommy, wait!

Wait!

Over here! This way!

Mommy, I got ya!

Mommy, you smell good.

Mommy...

Mommy...

He's been through so much.

But instead of fretting over that, he was worried about me.

Mommy...

There's no mistake.

Let's report to Colonel Basara.

He's late!

Oh, no!

You perv!

Stop that you!

C'mon!

Who's that? I think I've seen him somewhere before...

Oh, if it isn't Aichou!

What'cha doin' out here?

Check him out!

He's kinda hot!

Hey, wenches,

get lost if you don't wanna die!

No! No!

H-Hey, where are you going?

Sorry to crash the party,

but it's time to sober up!

Damn it, you're ten hours late!

Man, lighten up.

I mean, you're the one who suggested we look for that Ajirada guy to begin with!

And Fuusuke still isn't here yet!

What's keeping him?

It's probably because of that.

That?

I wonder if he'll ever develop a sense of direction.

But whatever. Wanna head on out tomorrow?

And having said that, I'm off.

Whoopsie!

Where are you going?

Back to see those ladies and—

Aichou, time out! Time out!

Shut up, you bastard!

Look, stupid!

Look over there!

The Imperial Army's on the move again.

Excuse me.

We've found one of the three former Ninku that Colonel Ajirada has been searching for.

We'll find the other two soon.

Once you've found one, the others will come on their own.

Colonel Ajirada has sent a rather large division to investigate.

I feel bad for Colonel Ajirada, but I'll get to them first.

Oh, Fuusuke-kun! How's your cold?

My head doesn't hurt and my nose isn't runny.

Really? Isn't that wonderful?

Hey, what's wrong with Mother?

It's her heart.

But rather than take expensive medicine,

she'd like to provide lots of food for the children, so she keeps getting worse.

I'm going out for a bit!

Where are you going?

Mother made my cold go away, so I wanna heal Mother's heart!

Wait, Fuusuke-kun!

Hold on, Mother!

No means no!

Don't be that way! Just give me some medicine.

What world do you live on to think you'll get stuff for free?

Go get some money, then I'll sell it to you.

C'mon! You've got gobs of medicine!

Of course I do! This is a pharmacy.

Say, wanna see a silly face?

A silly face?

Well? Pretty funny looking, wasn't it?

Then gimme some medicine.

Those are two separate things.

Just give up and go home.

C'mon! Please! Give me some!

You're a persistent bugger!

Go home! Scram!

I'm not giving up.

Hey! Give me some medicine!

A little will do! Please!

No sightings in the eastern district.

We didn't find any Ninku in the southwestern district.

Ow!

Is it morning already?

I never did run into Touji-niichan.

Where did they go?

What's with them?

These are Colonel Basara's orders.

We have spotted one of the Ninku we are searching for at the orphanage, Heart's Home.

Your special orders are to organize a secret attack on the orphanage.

They found Fuusuke!

I have to hurry and tell Onii-chan!

Mother, where's Fuusuke?

It seems he went out.

I hope he hurries back.

What's going on?

Who are you people?

They showed up demanding we hand over Fuusuke-kun!

We know he's here.

Hand him over without any further resistance.

Fuusuke-kun isn't here!

Even if he was, we wouldn't give him to the likes of you!

I recommend you stop covering for him.

What are you doing? Stop it!

If you don't hand over the brat, we'll destroy your home.

Don't berate us!

Your threats won't work on us!

Did you think I would sacrifice him just to protect our home?

I see. Then how about this?

Yoshio-kun!

I-It hurts!

Yoshio-kun...

Stop!

I'll call the Imperial Army if you don't!

So what? You'll ask them to deal with us?

You bet! The Imperial Army protects the citizens!

Exactly! That's why we're here.

We're here to protect the civilians from the Ninku!

What?

So you're part of the Imperial Army?

Indeed!

And that Fuusuke kid is one of the few remaining Ninku!

Impossible! Not Fuusuke-kun!

You're lying! There's no way he's evil.

It's up to you whether or not you believe us,

but he's dead if you don't hurry up!

Wait!

If you're gonna kill someone, kill me!

Crush his throat!

I'm right here.

Fuusuke-kun!

Yo! Did you wanna see me that badly?

I'm here, so put Yoshio down.

Who promised we'd do that?

Then I'll just have to save him.

Air Pressure Palm!

This is a high-level Ninku technique that allows the wielder to hit several times harder than

the average punch by gathering super high pressure air around his palm.

Yoshio-kun!

You're safe now, everyone!

Fuusuke-kun, who are you...?

Sorry.

I didn't mean to keep it a secret, but they're right. I'm a Ninku.

That's the truth?

But trust me,

the Ninku aren't bad.

The war was started by the Imperial Army, not the Ninku.

Let's believe him.

Mother!

I don't believe he's lying.

When I watch Fuusuke-kun, I get the feeling that there's still hope for children,

even in this day and age.

We need children like Fuusuke-kun now!

You're right.

The Imperial Army might be the bad guys, just like Fuusuke-kun said.

You have no right to decide whether we're good or bad!

You're gravely mistaken,

if you think the Ninku are the only ones capable of using the Substitution Technique.

Colonel Basara taught us this technique!

Colonel Basara? Who's that?

There's no need for you to know.

After all, you're going to die here.

Mother, get everyone inside!

Hiroyuki, protect the kids!

Hurry, everyone!

What gives?!

Don't you have a conscience?

Sure don't.

The longer you defy us, the more they'll suffer.

There's only one way to save them. You have to die!

Okay, fine!

Fuusuke-kun!

Okay. Do as you wish.

Okay!

Fuusuke-kun!

Do it!

Stop it! Stop it already!

Please, stop it!

The wind blowing against my cheeks soothes my wounds.

hoho ni ataru kaze ga kizu wo keshiteyuku

I can hear your voice both near and far.

kimi no koe ga tooku chikaku kikoeteru

Our promised land isn't all that far away.

Let's use that as our starting point as we set forth once more.

The sky we look upon is endless as it spreads out for all eternity.

miageru sora hateshinaku towa ni hirogaru

Just as my dream is about to fade away,

shibomikaketa yume ga mata

someone makes a noise and wakes me up.

oto wo tatete me wo samasu yo

I cry in anger, laugh, and love someone.

naite okottari, soshite warattari,

Flowers always bloom before withering away.

But, even so, tomorrow will still come.

I want to believe in someone, after I free myself from love and everything.

There will always be a tomorrow

as long as my heart can feel the wind.

Mother, I'm cool with getting beaten up by those jerks.

So c'mon. Smile for everyone.

Watching you cry is much more painful to me and makes me sad.

Next time: The Victor's Smoke.

Things look pretty rough again.
