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.

A group of bounty hunters were after Fuusuke and friends.

They were rescued by members of the Ninku support organization, Hikari.

Elsewhere, Rihoko and Hiroyuki, who got separated from Fuusuke

were saved by the mayor's son, Reiji.

However, the mayor found and apprehended them.

That's when she met Hikari's leader, Akemi, who was also Reiji's childhood friend.

Despite much internal strife, Reiji finally aimed his gun at his father.

I've changed my mind about you. You were awesome.

Not really...

Thank you, Reiji.

It's over that way. Everyone's waiting.

This way, and watch your step.

It's just like Lieutenant Leila said.

Their hideout's down here.

Akemi-san!

Hiroyuki, you're still alive!

I thought a bounty hunter caught and ate you!

What happened? We were so worried!

We thought you got caught since you didn't come right back.

Sorry to have worried you,

but I'm fine.

Rihoko, good to see you're okay!

Yep! He saved me when I was in a pinch.

He?

Right! Reiji-kun!

What are you doing here?

This is no place for you.

Guys!

Hey, what's your problem?

This is the guy who saved our lives.

He saved your lives?

I don't buy it.

This punk is the son of that mayor who put a bounty on your heads and is trying to kill you!

Are you spying on us under your father's orders? Well?!

I-I...

Guys, stop it!

Reiji really did save our lives.

He was so desperate he even defied his father.

I was moved by his courage.

So... So accept him as a comrade-in-arms!

I'm begging you, as you can see.

Akemi...

It's okay. I'm fine...

I don't blame them.

It's only natural for them to question me.

Reiji.

After all, I'm that mayor's son.

It was inevitable.

I'll go. I won't get in your way.

Reiji...

Reiji-kun...

It's okay! I don't mind.

Wait!

We can't let you just walk away.

Wh-What are you doing?!

Now that he knows where our hideout is, we can't let him leave.

What?

You'll report out hideout's whereabouts to the mayor as soon as you leave.

Then the army would strike!

If they attacked now, we'd be in threat of annihilation since we're not ready for a fight.

We must avoid that at all costs with our revolution in the making.

Guys...

We can use you.

The mayor can't fight us as long as we have you as our prisoner.

What are you doing?!

You're horrible!

I can't believe you don't trust others and use force to make them bend to your will!

You're behaving just like the Imperial Army!

I'm very...

very sad!

I get how you hate the Imperial Army.

But there's something you should do before you fight.

What's that?

Can't you move another's heart if you believe in them?

Reiji, where are you going?

I'm going back. I'll go back and explain things to my father.

You'll persuade him?

I'll tell him not to be a dog of the army.

I'll ask him to return to being a kind mayor that cares for his people's happiness.

Reiji...

Reiji, wait!

Reiji!

Touji! Aichou! Let's go, too!

Yeah!

At this rate, the town will be in danger.

I've got to find those guys, those Ninku, and hand them over to the army right away!

Keep a close eye on the town's perimeter.

There's a possibility the underground organization will start working for the Ninku.

The town's finished if there's even the tiniest of skirmishes.

The army has surrounded the town's perimeter.

L-Lieutenant Leila!

We've already caught everyone in that underground organization.

Now that it's been made clear there's a rebel force,

we can't let this village continue on as it has

regardless of how many Ninku heads you offer us.

Reiji! Wait up, Reiji!

You can't change his mind!

Have you forgotten what that man's done to us?

Kill her.

Shoot her! Shoot her, Reiji!

Are you going to humiliate me in front of Lieutenant Leila?

But...

But even so, he's still my father.

Reiji!

Wh-When did you get here?!

They fell right for it.

That aura...

What's wrong, Fuusuke?

I sensed a strange aura.

I'll be right back!

You guys...

Guys, what are you doing?!

Fuusuke!

Everyone, run!

There's something wrong with them!

Scatter!

We'll swoop around and trap 'em!

Damn it. We're surrounded!

Take a look at their eyes.

Yeah, it looks like they've been possessed.

They're being controlled.

It must be hypnosis or something.

Hypnosis?

Isn't there a way to break the hypnosis?!

I see... He's using Ninja Leaf Hypnosis Technique.

Ninja Leaf Hypnosis Technique?

He's using the fluttering leaves to hypnotize his opponents.

It's a Rat Ninja move.

What are we doing here?

Fuusuke-san!

You're back to normal!

It worked!

Sweet!

It's still too soon to rejoice.

I should have anticipated as much from the Ninku's former First Squad Captain,

Fuusuke the Rat Ninja.

I'm impressed you undid my hypnosis.

Who are you?

I'm Leila.

I serve under Colonel Mekira, one of the Imperial Army's Three Great Tacticians.

Damn bitch!

Don't move!

They're dead if you move.

What?!

One of them will die quicker than you can move.

Damn it!

Dad!

In the end, you couldn't do anything.

Everyone will be considered a traitor in a town that harbors rebels.

All it takes is one order from me and the army surrounding the town will begin the assault.

It seems you thought you could avoid that fate if you handed over these Ninku,

but you were naive.

No...

Y-You mean...

Dad...

Lieutenant Leila...

But allow me to give you one last chance.

If you're loyal to the army, you'll shoot them.

Take this gun!

That's the only way you can save this town.

Execute the traitors with your own two hands!

B-But...

Can't do it?

Dad!

It's okay. Shoot me.

Reiji?

It's okay, so shoot me.

Only shoot me.

But in exchange, please spare everyone else.

Don't move!

I've been a fool since I was little.

I never could do anything on my own.

I was always letting you down.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, Dad.

Reiji...

If I can be of help,

if I can save everyone...

Shoot me.

It's okay, so shoot me.

Fascinating. Mayor, which will you choose?

Your son or the whole town?

C'mon, Dad.

F-Forgive me, Reiji.

There's no defying God!

I-I'll save the town.

It's the only way!

No!

Don't! Stop it!

Don't you see how dirty the army is? Don't you see our real enemy?

Obeying the army is humiliating!

Don't you see?!

Kill him, Mayor!

You bastard!

You're another traitor!

Die!

Dad!

Reiji!

That's unforgivable!

Sky Soaring Fist!

Air Shuriken!

Air Pressure Fist!

Mekira-sama!

I don't like this.

You should have stuck with the mission.

You sick drunk!

We'll resume this fight later.

She's super strong...

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

Please feel free to ask if you need something.

I'll do anything I can.

Dad...

I've made up my mind.

I'm going to follow your footsteps.

Reiji!

I want to spend my life protecting this village with you.

Is that all right, Dad?

Reiji...

Later!

Let's go.

hoho ni ataru kaze ga kizu wo keshiteyuku

The wind blowing against my cheeks soothes my wounds.

I can hear your voice both near and far.

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.

shibomikaketa yume ga mata

Just as my dream is about to fade away,

someone makes a noise and wakes me up.

I cry in anger, laugh, and love someone.

dareka wo aishitari

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.

I don't like Hiroyuki at all!

He's not my friend.

I hate his guts!

So I don't want to be with you anymore.

So... So goodbye!

Next episode: Farewell, Hiroyuki!

I'm not sad!
