01x08 - Go

[bunniefuu]

[ominous music playing]

[Kagehito] So close.

Once we expose the door,

I will have the Clavis.

Then all you know

will end.

[all gasp]

Anyone who tries to stop me…
[wheezes] …will be destroyed!

Well, that is
very interesting information.

And, of course,
we wouldn't dream of trying to stop you.

No, no, no. No way. Not at all.

[screams]

[theme music playing]

-[adventurous music plays]
-[Kitsune] How does that thing run?

[Toshiko] I don't know.
Half the engine is missing.

[powering up]

[chirping mechanically]

Ashibasha!
You come back here this instant!

It'll be back soon.
You know it doesn't like to be alone.

Psst! Hey!

Chikabuma!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Keep it down!
Kagehito could be after me.

If he finds out I came here,
I'm gonna be mole sushi.

Kagehito?! That Yokai
with all the eyeballs?

Yeah. Look, I don't have much time.

-He's gonna, like, destroy everything.
-[Kitsune] How is he--

[Chikabuma] He's more powerful
than you can imagine. And he's coming.

Listen to me, I know Usagi
can trap Yokai back in the Ki-Stone.

Well, he's gotta do that
with Kagehito right away,

or we're all wrecked.

-But--
-I gotta go.

Tell Usagi, or the whole city is gonna be…

[mimics slicing]

And watch out for Kagehito,
or you are gonna be…

[mimics slicing]

-We gotta find Usagi.
-He said he was going to see Tetsujin.

You got hungry, didn't you?

-[honks]
-Let me get you some batteries.

It's official. I blew it.

Usagi! And two miniature ninja?

Yip.

And Spot. What do you mean you blew it?

Well, this is Hana.

-Is that the Ki-Stone? It's so beautiful.
-Don't get too close.

And her twin there is actually Giman,
the deception Yokai.

Ah! You've captured
the last of the three Urban Yokai.

[Spot whimpers]

No. Because it turns out Giman is cool.

I don't want to trap her in the Ki-Stone,

which means Karasu-Tengu
won't be my sensei

and I'll never be a true samurai.

Right.

Wow, you really did blow it.

[energy crackles]

-What's that?
-[Usagi gasps]

Oh!

Usagi, the Ki-Stone
wants to show you something.

Does it have a way to help me?

Oh, Ki-Stone, you are officially
my favorite giant, glowing rock!

Maybe I will be a samurai after all.

[grunts]

[dramatic music plays]

[groans]

[tense music plays]

[shogun] "You!"

[Miyamoto] "I'm sorry."

[gasps]

[screeching]

[Usagi] No, no, no!

-[Spot whimpers]
-[groans]

Everyone said my ancestor was a villain,
but I didn't believe it.

My whole life,
I wanted to be a samurai like him.

Are you okay?

No, I give up. I'm out, okay?
I'm going back to Auntie's farm.

Hana, you won't be safe in Neo Edo.
You two had better come with me.

Wait, that's not all
she wanted you to see. There's more.

The Ki-Stone says it's important!
You can't go!

[gasps softly]

Goodbye, Tetsujin.
Thank you for everything.

[funky music playing]

You doing okay, Hana?

[chuckles] Doing great.

Having a friend who can turn
into a steamcycle is awesome.

[Kana] If you had let me
turn into an airship,

I wouldn't be getting
so many bugs in my face.

[dramatic music plays]

[gasps]

[all] We need Usagi!

Has he been here?

-He was going to his aunt's farm.
-We have to go get him!

-I think I know where it is.
-Can we take the Ashibasha?

Only if it's had its nap.

Otherwise it gets cranky.

-[Ki-Stone crackles]
-Mm.

It's okay, they'll bring him back.
I know they will.

[dramatic music plays]

So, my little spy,

what information do you bring me?

[squeaking]

What?! Usagi has finally left Neo Edo?

And now his friends
want to bring him back?

[squeaks]

No, no! No, no, no, no!

No! No!

No, no, no, no, no, no! No!

No!

Usagi is the only one who could trap me
in that cursed Ki-Stone again.

I would go mad in there.

Mad, I tell you!

I have been hiding all this time
in hopes of keeping my freedom.

But now I see I must take action.

I must destroy Usagi and his friends!

I must put an end
to those horrible Yokai fighters!

[sighs]

I must acquire some glue.

[gentle music plays]

-[Spot chirping]
-[grunts]

-[coughs]
-[Spot chirps]

Kana, could you hide for a while?

My auntie isn't used to Yokai.
I don't wanna freak her out.

Great. Thanks.

Do you think she'll like me?

She will love you,

and you'll love her.

Auntie is the kindest person
I have ever known.

She always looked out for me,
even when I was kind of a jerk to her.

-I hope she'll accept my apology.
-Of course I do.

I'm so glad to see you, Usagi.

I'm sorry, Auntie. I--

Just shut up and hug me, dummy!

[tender music playing]

And who do we have here?

Auntie, I want you to meet Hana.

Hana, this is my aunt.

Hello, Usagi's aunt.

Please, call me Auntie.
It's nice to meet you, Hana.

What happened to your leg?

[Auntie] I lost it.

Did you look behind your bed?
Sometimes I lose stuff down there.

[laughs]

You and I are going to get along.

Hana, do you wanna check out the farm?
See if you can find where I hid my comics?

Auntie, Hana needs
someone to look after her.

She was stolen from an orphanage
by the Ninja Crew, and--

Of course I'll take care of her.

With you gone,
it'll be nice to have a kid around again.

Yeah, about that.

I'm going to stay too, if you'll let me.

I went to the city to be a samurai,
like our ancestor,

but that was a mistake.

Usagi, since before you could walk,
you wanted to be a samurai.

If you move back to the farm,

your heart will die.

We both know that.

I found a rock shaped like a foot!
Is there anything to eat?

Of course, dear.
Come inside and I'll fix you something.

Usagi has some things to think about.

Thank you.

You're welcome, Hana.

[melancholic music playing]

[chirping]

[panting]

[gulps and chirps]

[pants and chirps]

[sighs sadly]

I don't know. What should I do, Spot?

[Kana] Sure, ask him when you've got
a perfectly intelligent Yokai.

Sorry. I forgot you were here.

You know, now that Hana is safe,
you could capture me. Take me back.

Maybe Karasu-Tengu would train you.
You could be a true samurai.

Auntie was right,
I have always wanted to be a samurai.

But as much as I want to,
capturing you would be wrong.

That's what I needed to hear.

[Usagi gasps]

Karasu-Tengu! Or are you just Giman
pretending to be Karasu-Tengu?

There is no Giman. I made it up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What?!
You sent me to defeat yourself?

You were impulsive and self-centered.

Such a person could not be trusted
with the kind of skills I can teach.

I had to test you.

I had to see that you could put
the needs of others before your own,

and you have done that.

Listen to me. I sense that something
is coming, something terrible.

This world will need a champion.

-Usagi…
-[gasps]

…I will be your sensei.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

When do we start? Now? Is it now?
Can we start now? Or did we already start?

I don't really know how it works.
Wait, do I have time to grab a snack?

Now that Hana is safe, we will begin!

[bold music playing]

Whee!

[laughs]

Yeah!

[Spot chirps]

[Karasu-Tengu] Oh! Apologies.

I really shouldn't leave this here.
It's untidy.

[tender music playing]

Where did Usagi go?

Forward.

[bold music playing]

[horn honking]

[honking and chirping]

Uh, shouldn't you be watching the road?

It doesn't matter.
This doesn't do anything.

I just hold on because it's there.

[honking]

[dramatic music playing]

[gentle music playing]

[chirps]

[grunts]

Mm? [chirping]

Okay, yeah.

This is exactly the place I pictured
getting mystical martial arts training.

-Cut this grain of rice!
-What?

Ah, no fair! I wasn't ready.
Can I get a do-over?

You will have many thousands of do-overs.

This part of your training will not be
complete until you can cut the rice.

Can't we do something easier?
How about we start with a watermelon?

[sighs] We are going
to be here a long time.

Fortunately, here on the sacred mountain,
time does not obey the usual rules.

I was wondering why it was day
when we left the farm, and now it's night.

And also, that.

[chirping]

-Magic is weird.
-If it weren't, it wouldn't be magic.

[sniffing]

[chirping happily]

I am going to tell you the secret
of mastering the sword.

Wait, what? Really?

[chuckles] You're, like,
starting with the secret?

[laughs] Cool.

The sword knows the future.

When you fight,
it knows what your opponent will do next.

You can know this too,
if you listen to the sword.

To do this, you must silence your mind.

You mean meditate? [laughs]

I am amazing at meditating.
I meditate so hard.

One time I was meditating
and I had this awesome idea for--

Silence your mind!

Okay, I'll try really hard.

You must do the opposite of try.

You must surrender.

[inhales deeply]

[exhales]

[whispers] Why is the sun doing that?

[whispers] Shh. Magic.

I'm hungry for soup.

Hey, do my feet seem weird to you?

Silence.

Do you like owls? I like owls.

All right, we will get back to this.
Let us fight now.

[bold music playing]

[grunting]

Huh?

[scoffs]

[gentle music playing]

[breathes deeply]

[breathes deeply]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

[Spot chirps happily]

[sighs]

[bold music playing]

[grunts]

Hmm?

[grunting]

[yells]

[grunting]

[groans]

[sighs heavily]

[breathes deeply]

[inhales]

[groans and coughs]

[exclaims]

[both grunting]

Ow!

[both grunt and exclaim]

[groans]

-[grunts]
-[gasps]

Hmm.

Mm?

[snores]

[mystical music playing]

-[Karasu-Tengu] Are you ready?
-I was born--

Do not say you were born ready!
You clearly weren't.

-[Spot gulps]
-So my training is complete!

-No!
-Hmm?

You're still terrible at meditation.

And also, life itself is training.

It ends only with the final test.

Like a pop quiz, or--

Death. The final test is death.

Right, sorry. Obviously, yeah.

You must return to Neo Edo.
You will find it is not far.

[chirping]

[chirps]

On this sacred mountain,
two seasons have gone by.

But outside this place,
it has been less than a day.

Whatever I feel coming,
this dreadful threat,

you must stop it.

Right now, your friends
have gone searching for you,

leaving the city unprotected.

From what?

From the threat!

Are you paying attention at all?
You must go to Neo Edo at once!

I will find your friends
and send them there to meet you.

Together, I believe
you can stop this terrible danger.

Karasu-Tengu, I will make you proud.

I am already proud.

[dramatic music plays]

[coughs]

[exclaims in disgust]

-I know. They taste weird, huh?
-[engine revs]

[gentle music playing]

[Chizu] This place is beautiful.

[Hana] Chizu!

Chizu! Auntie, it's Chizu!

I'm so happy for you, Hana.

You must be Usagi's friends.

And you're Auntie.

Did Usagi make it
back to the city all right?

What? We came out here to get him.

We need him
to fight this Yokai called Kagehito--

-[creaking]
-What the heck?!

[roars]

[Toshiko exclaims]

[Toshiko growls and groans]

Hana, go inside!

I am O-Dokuro, the mightiest of the Yokai!

Born of the bones
of those who died in w*r.

And I have come to end you!

-[grunts]
-[gasps]

[grunts and groans]

-Huh?
-[grunts]

[yells]

[roars]

[Hana] Auntie!

-[Toshiko groans]
-Get back in the house!

[yells]

[grunts]

-[grunts]
-[gasps]

-Yeeks!
-Curses!

You have found my one weakness!

-[grunts]
-I am joking.

This comes off all the time.

O-Dokuro has no weaknesses!

[all yell]

[snarling]

[grunts]

[seethes and growls]

It is… [wheezes] …here!

The Clavis!

Where is your leader?

I'm right here! Right here,

where I have been this whole time.

Not up to anything.

[chuckles] You dig?

You are lying!

But if you seek to betray me,

you are too late.

My mission will soon be complete.

[crumbling]

[roars]

Hana, run!

Oh.

-Hello, Hana.
-Hi, Kana!

I like you like this.

[growls]

Hello, old friend.

[grunts]

Go to Neo Edo, now!
You will be needed there.

[O-Dokuro] What?!

Hmm.

Are you protecting mortals now?

You've gone soft.

Let us not speak.

We will only anger each other.

[grunts]

[both grunting]

[both yell and grunt]

Is this a normal day for you guys?

More or less.

[Ashibasha honks]

You cannot escape me!

I will find you!

I will find you and Usagi!

[groans]

[funky music plays]

Don't worry, Spot. We'll find
the others and deal with this threat.

[chirps]

It's probably just the Neko Ninja,
or something like that.

Nothing too serious.

[ethereal music playing]

-[energy pulsing]
-Huh?

[doors opening]

Stop!

Do not interfere… [wheezes]

…if you want to live.
