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.

I'm hungry.

Hey, Touji! How long are repairs gonna take?!

We're almost to Mt. Genren!

Chill already. Feng Shui Valley isn't going anywhere.

All righty, all done!

This is awesome!

It'd make for a sweet meal if we roasted the corn!

Okay, then let's get the fire going!

Yeah!

Lend me some matches.

I don't have any.

Rihoko!

I don't have any.

You mean there's a field of corn and we can't eat any of it?!

If you're Ninku, make some fire appear!

Don't ask the impossible!

In the past, Sekirai woulda come and helped us out...

Sekirai, eh? That brings back memories...

Who's Sekirai?

A friend who fought alongside us.

So he's a Ninku who manipulates fire.

If Sekirai were here, he could cook the corn.

He could do more than that!

He usually made the bonfires for us.

And he usually started the fires for cooking, too.

And he warmed the bathwater, too!

Really? Aren't you just pulling my leg?

What's wrong?

I found it! There's a fire!

There! Look over there!

That's an awfully big bonfire.

Moron! That's a bona fide fire!

How horrible...

Is anyone in there?!

Hey, kids! Outta the way!

Damn it! How dare those Imperial Army scum set my house afire while I'm gone!

Is this your house?

Yeah, but it was in shambles.

Oh! Did you see a sleepy-looking man around here?

No, we haven't seen him.

Oh, dear! I bet that sleepyhead's still asleep!

Asleep? In that fire?

I wouldn't put it past him!

I must save him!

Granny, we'll go.

He's not here...

Even if he was, he'd be a crispy critter if he was asleep in this fire.

Wait, I hear snoring!

I found him!

Buster, this isn't the time to be sleeping!

Wake up already!

He's obstinate about not waking up!

Hey, haven't we seen those droopy eyes somewhere before?

Now that you mention it...

You're so noisy...

Is it dinner time already?

Fuusuke! Aichou! Touji!

What are you doing out here?

It really is you, Sekirai!

It's been ages!

What've you been up to?

This is Sekirai-san?

Long time no see! How've you been doing?

I see you've exiled Colonel Ajirada.

Colonel Mekira.

Lieutenant Lamuda is still marching towards Feng Shui Valley,

ignorant that Ajirada has lost his position.

I'm surprised you know what's happened when you're in a different unit.

It's only natural.

It's our job to manage and manipulate all information within the Imperial Army.

Convincing the commoners that the Ninku are evil and the Imperial Army is just

was all thanks to the propaganda we spread.

As a former foreigner, the only thing I can trust is my own power.

I don't rely on others.

Didn't you know that, Archbishop Kouchin?

I see you intend to go even if I ask you not to.

But jeez, it's no wonder you used to be the Ninku's Fifth Squad Captain.

You said it!

You Dragon Ninjas were the only ones who could come out unscathed after sleeping in a fire.

So tell us, what are you doing here?

I'm not totally sure why...

After the Ninku disbanded, I was traveling in search of inspiration for my beloved paintings.

I fell asleep and was really shocked when I woke up next.

An old lady I'd never met was bringing me food.

I've been hangin' out with Granny Umechiyo ever since.

You serious?

So why is the Imperial Army after her?

Sekirai, would you know why?

Don't bother asking him.

I see... So you're Ninku.

The Imperial Army is trying to force me to guide them to Feng Shui Valley.

You mean the Feng Shui Valley?

Granny, do you know about that place?

It's a terrible place.

The source of nature's powers whirl about Feng Shui Valley, located at the peak of Mt. Genren.

A countless number of people have died upon setting foot there.

Only those who know the Feng Shui Path can enter that valley.

The Feng Shui Path?

It's the only entrance into Feng Shui Valley.

And you know where it is?

For generations my family has served as the guides to Feng Shui Valley.

Sadly, I'm the only one still left.

Several days ago, I received a letter from Lamuda of the Imperial Army

saying he wanted to use the power of the Feng Shui Valley to strengthen his Thunder Fist.

But I turned him down.

I already have a man worthy of those powers living with me.

You mean Sekirai-san?

I'll never forget how we first met.

He was napping as he floated down with the river's current.

Just as I was lifting him out of the water, the sky was suddenly filled with lightning!

Mt. Genren is roaring.

I had a premonition.

Someday Sekirai may visit Feng Shui Valley and obtain power over nature.

Please tell us, Granny.

Can we see the Tenkuu Dragon if we go to Feng Shui Valley?

You actually know about the Tenkuu Dragon?

We're on our way to Feng Shui Valley...

to see the Tenkuu Dragon.

We want to obtain power great enough to let us fight Kisumi of the Imperial Army.

I knew it...

Let me stew on this.

As I thought! They truly were Feng Shui Valley's chosen ones!

Who's there?!

Do you think that granny will lead us to the Feng Shui Valley?

Dunno. But I bet things will work out.

What's that sound?

Hey!

It's Granny's!

Lamuda-sama, what do you intend to do?

I'm going to double, no, triple Ajirada-sama's gratitude towards me.

Lamuda-sama, they're following us!

Don't worry. It's all part of my plan.

Get over here!

Start climbing already!

Sure!

Jeez, how long are you gonna sleep?!

What's wrong?

The Imperial Army kidnapped Granny Umechiyo!

We've gotta save her!

Okay... I gotta pee first.

What?!

He's taking too long! How long does it take him to pee?

I can't believe you!

Now I'm pissed!

Hiroyuki, let's forget about this jerk and head on out!

Care to show us the Feng Shui Path now?

I'll never show it to the likes of you!

Hag, I see you want a beating!

So? Continue where you left off. What happened to Granny?

Huh?

The Imperial Army kidnapped Granny Umechiyo!

We've gotta save her!

Shit! This isn't the time to be a sleepyhead!

She's in there...

But Onii-chan should already be here, right?

No matter how many times you whip me,

I'll never tell you where Feng Shui Path is!

You damn hag!

The bastard!

How dare he hit an old granny!

Fuusuke, be careful!

Stop it!

Tell me!

You!

Shit!

Welcome, gentlemen. I've been waiting.

You're as naive as ever.

Rihoko!

Sorry, Onii-chan!

We didn't even need to use our hostage.

That cage was made from Gauni-sama's special alloy.

You'll never break free.

You'll make a great gift for Ajirada-sama.

Sorry, dude, but Ajirada won't be coming.

What was that?

He went off somewhere after we kicked his butt!

Enough of your lies!

Please stop it!

Please don't shoot at them.

Our era needs people like them!

It looks like torturing you upsets the old hag.

Don't do it!

I'll give you the map to Feng Shui Path, so don't shoot them!

You wouldn't have had to suffer if you'd given it to me from the start.

So this is the map to Feng Shui Path...

Hag, your job here is done.

That's playing dirty!

Silence!

I'll send you to the same place in just a moment.

Die!

That's enough!

Sekirai!

You—!

Who are you?!

Former Captain of the Ninku Unit's Fifth Squad, Sekirai the Dragon Ninja!

What?

You're another Ninku?

Granny's like a mom to me.

You're going to pay for this!

Damn it... I dare you to move!

Do it and the hag's dead!

Your threats won't work on me!

Just you try to shoot Granny!

You're dead the second you do!

Take this!

Air Flame Palm!

Where do you think you're aiming?!

I was just joking!

I'm serious this time!

Your lack of control is depressing.

It's no use!

My control over Ninku techniques has gotten rusty these past three years.

I feel stupid for getting scared!

Shoot him down!

Sekirai!

The age of Ninku has come to an end.

How horrible...

You're a monster!

Hag, there's no need for sorrow.

I'll send you to the same place right now.

You're all that's left.

Die.

What?!

Don't underestimate a Zodiac Ninja.

When did you...?

You even got the hag!

A S-Substitution Technique?!

I won't forgive you...

Look! Victor's Smoke is coming out of Sekirai's body!

I can't forgive...

myself for growing rusty these three years.

What's holding you back?!

He's rusty with his Ninku techniques!

Hurry and kill him!

What?!

Now that I'm pissed, you're out of luck.

Damn it!

I'll teach you what it's like to have a gun pointed at you!

Air Flame Palm!

Sleep for a while and reflect on what you've done.

I see... I never dreamed Kisumi would side with the Imperial Army.

We have to see the Tenkuu Dragon if we're going to return Kisumi's heart to normal.

Will you help us?

Of course! We're friends, after all!

I'll catch up after I finish tending to Granny's injuries.

We'll be waiting!

Later, Sekirai! You've gotta catch up!

Don't fall asleep!

Wakey wakey, Lieutenant Lamuda.

It looks like you got your butt kicked.

C-C-Colonel Mekira, what are you doing here?

Mekira's Unit has been placed in charge of eliminating the Ninku.

What? What's the meaning of this?!

Ajirada was exiled from the army.

There's an order for his execution.

I don't believe you!

Colonel Ajirada is No. 2 in the Imperial Army!

The times are changing.

We'll arrest you as Ajirada's accomplices and fellow traitors!

Wh-What?!

C'mon!

What do you think you're doing?!

I'm innocent! Unhand me!

I'm not interested in dense men.

The wind blowing against my cheeks soothes my wounds.

as long as my heart can feel the wind.

Whoa! Lookie, Aichou, Touji!

There's some posters of us!

But they aren't very well done...

We look kinda evil.

What's this?

"Contact the Imperial Army if you see them"?

Huh?

Next time: The Rebellion for Freedom!

This time, things look— Whaa! Run for it!
