Episode 22: Hand Reached Out

Impossible...

Utsuro's transformation has been undone.

It's proof that she's weakened.

I can still fight.

I'll defeat you, and then...

get my revenge on every shinobi in this world.

So that someone like me never exists again!

Utsuro-san.

When I encountered your heart earlier,

I met Mai-san inside it.

What you experienced, what you wished for, why you despaired..

Why you came into this world as Utsuro-san...

Mai-san told me everything.

Quit spoutin' nonsense.

Come at me!

Wh-What do you think you're doin'?

I will not fight you.

I just want to talk to you.

Don't give me that!

I ain't got a single thing to talk about with a hero like you!

Actually, you do.

Because, Utsuro-san...

You're about as shy as I am, and much more lonely.

Lonely? Me?

I abandoned my family and my village!

That's because I wanted to!

I'm going to live and die alone!

I could never feel lonely!

Then... Then why were you...

smiling so happily back then?

Back when you abandoned everything and left your village...

Why were you crying?

Shut up! You don't know a damn thing!

It's because...

You're actually shy but can't even talk to the people you like!

You're the same kind of dummy that I am!

What the hell would you know?!

I absolutely know how a shy girl feels.

Like someone as blessed as you could ever know what it feels like to be a sinner!

What is a sinner, then?

Are you never allowed to be happy again just because you made one mistake?

No!

If you've made a mistake, you just need to make it right!

If you can't do it alone, do it with someone else!

And you had someone by your side who would carry the burden with you!

I don't...

need that.

Ai-san said the same thing as you.

All alone in a dark room,

she called herself a sinner and tied herself down with chains.

You're way too awkward.

You're trying to bear your own sin, and it's made you desperate.

But if your desire has hurt the world,

hurt the ones you love,

and is going to hurt you, as well...

I'll stop you as many times as it takes.

Even if I have to risk my life!

You keep actin' like you know everything...

In the end, that's just it. No one...

understands me at all...

Not you, not Ai-nee...

Not even me!

If everything is going to reject me,

I'll shatter this shell...

and end it all!

Shatter, shell of this world!

A gentle breeze that embraces a cloud of love!

The drunken breath that floats in!

Now that we're here...

We're not gonna let you have your way!

Pepesha-san! Piltz-san! Mianlong-san!

Sorry we're late!

I thought you were done for.

Okay, you bad little girl...

Do you still intend to fight?

Don't underestimate me. I can take on all of you.

Why...

Leave her to me.

Why are there so many people around Ai-nee?

I'm...

I'm always alone, no matter how far I go.

Mai-sama.

Please, stop this.

There's no reason for you to hurt any more.

Tokimaru?

What are you doin' here?

Are you gonna get in my way, too?

T-Tokimaru-san!

You're bleeding!

It's because you got in my way!

Because you got close to me!

I'm wearing a gauntlet. This is nothing.

But every time you swing that sword,

your actual heart is going to hurt even more.

This wound can't even compare.

You are not a person who can stay unaffected by hurting others.

No matter how empty that mask you wear is,

your heart will not disappear.

That's what being human means.

Your heart is kind, delicate, and honest.

No! I threw that heart away

the first time I killed someone!

In the end, you're just another one of them, Tokimaru.

There's no way you'd understand how I feel.

It's true. I do not know everything about your heart, Mai-sama.

But I could say the same for you, as well.

What's that piece of paper supposed to be?

It's a written plea.

Ai-sama wrote this to our master so you could return to the village.

It's a written plea to pardon you, Mai-sama.

Regardless of what punishment awaits,

she said she would take your place.

She repeated her plea over and over again.

Even if she had to be punished, Ai-sama never gave up.

She wanted you to be forgiven.

Impossible... Why?

Because of me, Ai-nee...

Even if her plea wasn't accepted...

Please, gods...

Please forgive Mai for what she's done.

Please ensure that she's not sufferin'.

Please make sure she's happy.

All right! Just 73 more times!

Come on, Tokimaru! You do it, too!

A hundred prayers!

Do you really believe that this has meaning, Ai-sama?

I honestly don't care if it has meaning or not.

I just want Mai to know that I'm always thinkin' about her, even now.

That there's someone wishin' for her happiness right here.

I don't care if it's through gods or Buddha or birds or bugs...

I want someone to tell her that.

I'm pretty sure she feels mighty alone in this world right now.

Ever since then, not a single day went by that Ai-sama didn't pray.

Do you understand, Mai-sama?

Even if you cut through me, reject me, hate, or despise me...

Even if this whole world turned against you,

our feelings for you wouldn't change in the slightest.

You're just lyin'!

You and Ai-nee and everyone else is on that side!

You're different from me!

If you so desired, I would fight everyone here.

I'm more than ready to die alongside you.

But only...

if that's what you truly desire, Mai-sama.

You say some crazy things, Tokimaru.

Even the protagonist of some romance wouldn't say all that.

Ai-san!

Ai-nee...

I'm sure you really hate me, too.

Because I stabbed you!

Just a moment ago...

When I was inside your heart...

They were mere moments,

but your memories came flowin' into me.

There were so many things I didn't know.

That's awful... We were always together.

I'm supposed to be your older sister.

But I didn't know a thing about you...

I'm so sorry, Mai.

Wh-What are you...

I couldn't be there for you when you were sufferin' so much.

I had no idea just how troubled you were...

I'm sorry I acted like I knew.

There ain't no point in you apologizin' to me now!

The way you try to distance yourself so that no one else gets hurt...

You haven't changed one bit, Mai.

Stay back!

I'm someone who wouldn't feel a damn thing even if I cut you down!

I-If you come any closer, I—

See? You're still a kind girl.

Come on, Mai. If you can't rely on anyone else,

at least rely on your sister.

The two of us have always been one.

Let's go home together.

Ai-nee...

I-I...

Mai, I...

An explosion?!

The hell are you wasting time for, Utsuro?!

Your dream ain't over yet, is it?!

Those little...

That's right.

I don't have the right to take her hand...

I'm gonna burst open the walls of your heart, or whatever!

But... even so...

Just one more time...

Together, could we...

Shy.

Doki Baragaki

Gets angry easily and is simple-minded. Has a foul mouth and gets into fights often.

A-A hole...

This isn't good! At this rate...

Wh-What's going to happen?

What the...

Asakusa, Tokyo

The black orb just...

What's that black stuff?

What the hell?!

M-My body...

Th-There's an emergency!

What's going on?

There are reports that a fog has started leaking

from the black orb, and it's turning citizens into monsters.

So this is what Stigma was talking about.

It happened earlier than we anticipated.

Flow out! Scatter!

The outer world's gonna be overwhelmed by the humans' fear!

What is that?

This is Century.

Leader Shy, can you hear me?

Y-Yes! I can hear you.

Good, we can communicate now that the black orb's been broken.

Shy, I'm going to fill you in on the situation out here.

Shrimpy-san!

Due to something leaking from the black orb,

citizens are turning into monsters.

If the black orb breaks any more, there will be casualties on a grand scale.

Listen to me. You must stop the black orb from being destroyed at any cost.

Citizens are turning into monsters?

So they're going berserk even without the ring?

They don't need rings or the Heart-shift bracelets!

Anyone can join Amarariruku by using fear as the key!

All humans can live as their hearts desire!

Doesn't that world sound like a dream?!

How dare you call that a dream?!

Whoa! Like your dumb, slow fireball would actually hit us!

That stupid lizard!

Well? Sucks that you can't do anything, huh?

You dumbasses!

Wh-Wha?!

Utsuro, you ass! What's the big idea?!

This is my heart.

I can do as I please here.

Mai-sama...

Hey, you sure about this?!

I was gonna help you

make your dream of destroying this world come true!

My hatred for this world remains unchanged.

But I realized something.

My dream wasn't destroyin' the world.

It's just a puny little dream that's within me.

Is that so?

And here I thought...

you were the only one like me.

I guess...

I had the wrong idea.

If you're gonna do what you want,

we're just gonna destroy this thing like we planned!

A selfish child at heart that looks like a demon...

Naughty little boys that bully my little sister...

will have to deal with me!

The Tennoji sisters...

...have become full!

Ai-san! Mai-san!

Damn it! Who do you think you are?!

Hey, Kufufu! We're gonna do that one thing!

Bring that thing out!

Silence...

Hey, what're you doing, Kufufu?!

I said bring that thing out!

Are you listening, Kufufu?!

Hey, damn it, Kufufu!

Kufufu-san!

What?

Hurry up and bring the thing out!

Really? Isn't this enough?

I'm super tired, so I just wanna hurry back and sleep.

You dumbass! Like we can turn back now!

My name's not "dumbass." It's Kufufu-san.

Just shut up and bring it out! Come on Kufufu...san!

Jeez... I don't feel up to it, but fine.

This is the last time.

POP

Here, Inori-sama.

What an adorable plushie.

Truly, a symbol of love.

Wh-What did she just do?!

Next, Doki-san.

All right! Here we go!

Off you go, little bear!

Kufufu...

Inori...

Doki!

Wha...

What the heck is that?!

I awakened it to the heart of love.

I gave it some fighting weapons!

And I made it bigger.

We call this... the Holy Mother Bear Plan!

Giant Bear That Flies in the Sky Plan

Kufufu-san...

If that thing goes berserk...

We have to stop it, no matter what.

If you think you can stop it, go ahead and try!

Did you see that power?

Okay, little bear!

Just break right through!

No! If the already-cracked black orb gets hit with something that powerful,

it'll instantly...

What a rowdy little one.

Let's go, Mai.

No need to tell me.

Hidden Sword Technique: Hollow Cherry Blossom Cyclone!

It's no use!

Little Bear's claws are made out of diamond!

They ain't gonna crack that easily!

Actually...

Two blades are cutting the same place over and over...

And they're improvising this.

Before this masterful technique,

even diamonds will shatter!

What?!

They're always breaking your stuff, Doki.

Wow!

They did it!

Ah...

This feels so nice.

My heart can just be honest.

I had been in pain for so long...

I just wanted to disappear without anyone seeing me.

Mai.

But...

Someone who'll reach out their hand...

even for someone like me... is right beside me.

You jerks! Don't think you're gonna get away with this!

Hey, Mr. Demon, over here!

Towards the dancing wind!

Soga Style Twin Ninja Technique: Sal Tree...

Blossom!

Mai-sama...
