Original subtitles

There were people who loathed one other.

Their corpses withered in the fields, their souls soaked in blood...

And their bonds were broken by blades...

Collapsed in the darkness, their sincerity wails...

"My beloved, please die... "

"My beloved, please die..."

Clouds shroud a night with a waning moon quivering in the haze

A cruel trap involving a pair of crucified fledglings

Oh, since smoldering feelings lie firmly in their hearts...

...destruction!

Gently as the water, severely as a flower

pierce with a trembling blade

Even when I shut the fated tears deep within my eyes

my eyelids still remember you

"Deadly Insects, Cold Blood"

I imagine Danjou entrusted a similar scroll to Kazamachi Shougen...

If we five strike at once, he will have no hope for escape...

Koshirou.

A war between shinobi needs no vainglorious one-on-one battles.

Understood.

Tenzen-sama. What do you suppose became of Yashamaru-dono?

Judging from the time of the hawk's return...

...he will reach Iga later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Assuming he left Sunpu alive, that is...

Amayo.

Should Oboro-sama become aware of this, it will cause us trouble.

Having Gennosuke and Udono trapped like rats could work against us.

Yes. I will exercise caution.

So, shall I kill Gennosuke if given the chance?

Do not assume he can be slain so easily!

His eyes... Those two unfathomable eyes...

They're terrifying, even for an enemy's...

Blunders will not be tolerated. Take no risks before our return.

Understood.

First is...

...Kazamachi Shougen.

What's wrong?!

That is a Kouga palanquin...

Only the bearers!

Kouga clansman. I wish to speak with you. Step out.

And if I say no?

"Kouga Manjidani Group- Jimushi Juubei"

Your appearance... You must be Jimushi Juubei.

How're you going to fix this? You ruined my precious palanquin!

A palanquin for what aim?!

None of you have any manners at all!

How dare you-

Forgive my rudeness. We are the Ogen Clan of Iga Tsubagakure.

I am Yakushiji Tenzen.

We could not stand still out of concern for our grandmother,

who has gone to Sunpu...

You too, huh?

My own astromancy shows Danjou-sama under a star of misfortune...

Astromancy...

So that is your art...

I can handle this man alone. The rest of you, go intercept Shougen.

Now then...

By and large, I know everything about the Kouga clan,

but some members I know little about.

You are one of those few...

Speak!

The Kouga Manjidani Ten! What techniques do they wield?!

Speak or I shall remove your head!

What is so amusing?

Your own star is one of misfortune!

If an enemy ever learned of this trick, I would be doomed...

...but the enemy is doomed once he learns of it.

Still, to think the Iga would take such action as this...

What is transpiring?!

This is going to be great, Akeginu-dono!

Good grief. What a lost cause.

Ow!

Say, Akeginu-dono! Why don't we hold hands too?!

It begins!

Iga scum?

We will take the ninpou competition roster!

And how do you know about that?

I would not underestimate the Iga-no-Ogen Clan if I were you.

As you wish.

In that case, I'll start... by removing your names from the list first!

Interesting!

Three Iga bugs, caught in my web...

Perhaps I should crush them...

Now then...

I will let you choose the manner in which you die...

Shall I gouge your eyes out first... or slit your windpipe?

Choose!

I ask you the same thing!

Hotarubi! Koshirou's sickle!

My body hair is as my hands!

Mock me not, Kouga swine!

What?!

Jimushi...

...Juubei!

Intolerable bastard!

Is Yashamaru-dono unharmed?

Answer!

Answer! Answer me, Shougen!

Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!

Tell me now!

Yashamaru-dono...

Got you!

Why can't we catch up?!

I suggest you release the scroll in your mouth...

Otherwise...

...you cannot expel the spearhead in your throat.

Isn't that right...

...Jimushi!

Allow me to read your stars... Jimushi Juubei.

Tenzen!

I will not fall for the same trick twice.

Tenzen-sama!

What an inconvenience...

There is no need for two of the same scroll.

What of Shougen?

I... finished him off.

"Jimushi Juubei"

Seven left...

--But do not disregard them. --Indeed...

Even so, the last one standing shall be we, the Iga-no-Ogen Clan!

"Iga Tsubagakure- Iga-no-Ogen's Compound"

Oboro-dono. You needn't hurry so...

How good of you to come!

Jingorou, you're back!

Huh?

Oh! And you, too!

Preparations for the banquet are underway.

Iga sake probably tastes quite different from that brewed by the Kouga.

This is going to be great, Gennosuke-sama!

I wonder if Iga sake is sweet...

...or salty...

The mist of sorrow softly touches these lips blotted with red droplets

The mirror in the sky beautifully illuminates the distance in the night

Giving more than a passing thought to the myriad of showering stars

gently, the cords of a deep bond firmly, firmly bind them

Those beautiful eyes that sparkle with a lazuline hue...

Even if they wind up closed by a harbinger from the darkness,

since no one can steal the bridge of connected dreams

they still reflect the limitless tomorrow

"Next Episode"

Billowing animosity. Piercing hostility.

Earnest youth forgives all, and advocates lofty ideals.

Despite the unfaltering resolve, a crimson mist sprays the twilight.

With an emaciated body, a cunning assassin smiles.

A spring night banquet at Tsubagakure...

On the next Basilisk~ Kouga Ninpouchou-
