02x15 - The Self, Worn Down

[bunniefuu]

With the support of the king,

preparations for the w*r
at Renril enter the final stages.

Will you board this absurd ship?

Now is the time to make your choice.

The warriors decide their fates
of their own will.

Then,

the time has finally come.

What's with that attack?

Where did that cannonball come from?

Is everyone all right?

The first west gate tower is down!

Any casualties?

Did we lose anyone?

It's fine.

No one died.

What?

What's wrong, Fushi?

No…

It feels like…

there's another person.

Another person?

Maybe someone gave birth?

No, this feels different.

So that's what attacked us.

Everyone, get behind the walls!

Where did those things
get all those catapults?

Let's use ours too!

No, ours won't reach that far.

What should we do then?

Are we just going to sit back
and let them take us?

I won't let that happen!

I won't let them enter my field of sense.

-Amazing!
-Great!

Take them down!

His roots have extended beyond Renril.

Just how far do they go?

Don't let the Nokkers
infiltrate through the waterways!

Don't let your guard down!
Assume a Nokker lurks behind every tree!

Look over there!

Looks like we don't need
to do anything after all.

Fushi! Are you all right?

It must be hard on you.
Is there anything I can do to help?

I need to concentrate.

Leave me alone.

Little girl, what are you doing here?

Are you all by yourself?

Where's your mother?

Are you lost?

Hey! It's dangerous to be here!

Return to your home at once!

Sorry, I'll leave right away.

You can come to my house.

Are you crying?

There, there.

You'll cheer up
after you taste my wife's cooking.

-Yes!
-Great!

It's been six hours since the w*r started.

Fushi is fending off the Nokkers


But it has taken a huge toll on him.

Something smells.

Sorry, that was me.

You must be kidding.

Yes, sorry. It was Nixon who passed gas.

By the way, about that child…

Still no sign of her, huh?

Hey! What's wrong?

Are you all right?

What happened?

No idea. He just drank the water and…

Don't drink the water!

It's been poisoned!

Tell everyone not to drink the water!

Stop using the water!

Don't use any of the water!
There's something wrong with it!

So the Nokkers
filled their bodies with poison

and deliberately allowed themselves
to be injured?

Yes.

What's the situation
with the water supply?

We can still use water from the well.

But it'll be bad if this continues.

That river flows throughout all of Renril.

We have no idea
how long this battle will last.

The water gate…

Let's have Fushi eliminate
the Nokkers in the west first.

No. We can't burden Fushi any further.

We'll handle the Nokkers
coming from the front and east.

Right. It's better than doing nothing.

I don't think that'll ease Fushi's burden!

Fifty-nine…

Fifty-nine died all because
I didn't notice in time…

As soon as I felt the pain,

the sensation of the cold ground
reached my face before I was aware.

Before I knew it…

You mustn't blame yourself.

It's 60 now…

We must join the fight.

Fushi, please recreate this.

Okay.

What is this?

Water with abrasive material.

Abrasive?

How could you let him drink that?

Is it possible for you
to continuously siphon water

from the reservoir
that was previously sealed off?

Yes…

Please connect it to this.

What is it?

A new weapon that utilizes water
instead of b*ll*ts.

This is a weapon, you say?

Will it really be effective?

To think you prepared such a weapon!

I was planning for us
to use it in a dire situation.

And this too.

This is your armor.

Mine?

In case of emergencies.

Thank you, Kai.

I hope you never need to use it.

You need me to take care
of the Nokkers in the west, right?

So you heard us.

You focus on those in the west.

We'll handle the front and east.

You want to let them near Renril?

Precisely.

If we can get them
within 400 meters from us,

we can strike them down
with the catapults.

Got it.

With this, we won't stay on the defensive.

We can go on the offensive too.

Everyone to your stations!

Fire!

So the water flows from there.

That's several kilometers from here.

Victory will be ours as long as we can
defeat all the poisonous Nokkers, right?

That's not all.

The mountains and rivers

will need to be recreated too.

What do you need us to do?

Take care of this for me
so I can remain here.

It appears that she was separated.

She kept asking where "Fu" was.

-"Fu"?
-Yes. I think she meant Fushi.

Fushi? The legendary immortal?

It can't be.

In any case,
let's get her some food first.

We'll figure everything else out later.

But I can't use any water right now.

All we have are bread and fruits.

We can give her some cider.

Have something to eat, little girl.

Hey…

Yes?

Are we supposed to stay here like this?

Nothing has happened in hours.

Of course.

It's great that nothing has happened.
It's proof that we've kept this rope safe.

It took two weeks for my roots
to spread two kilometers before this.

I should be able
to do it faster this time.

Spread your roots?

Look.

So a part of you is fighting over there…

It's raining.

What are we going to do for tonight?

Sleep in the river with the fish?

Will that do?

This sure is an easy job.

They told us they needed
all hands on deck,

but this isn't a big deal at all.

What nonsense are you saying?

People have died!

There have been casualties.

Scary…

Fushi, please come inside and rest too.

You'll catch a cold!

Teleportation?

You're bleeding!

Leave him be.

He is concentrating
on every corner of Renril right now.

No need to be concerned.

Yes, this will do.

The next wave is coming!

Hurry!

Fushi!

Fire!

Fushi!

The Nokkers are climbing up the walls!

I told you so.

Doing this would only increase his burden.

Have you taken care
of the river in the west?

I'm working on it!
You don't need to remind me!

Also, Renril's weapons
can only drive their cores away.

I can go for their vitals.

What about you guys?

How about using fire?

It's getting dark.
That is what we should use.

Prepare at once!

Well done!

Fushi!

Are you all right? Stay with me!

Fushi!

Calm down.

He probably just shifted to another place.

No, he's still breathing.

He's completely out cold.

Is this due to hypersensitivity?

He can recover just
by transforming again, right?

This might be exhaustion
on a whole other level.

The walls aren't
repairing themselves either.

In order to act quickly,

we've been relying on Fushi's powers
to reload ammunition and other things.

It'll be bad for us
if he stays unconscious.

Wake up, Fushi! Get up!

Fushi, get up!

Fushi!

Build a cover!

Protect Fushi's body!

We need to protect Fushi no matter what.

It's so that he can continue
to protect us too.

Kai!

We might be dead before we even notice

the Nokkers that are near us.

How many enemies are there?
How many lives have we lost?

We won't know without Fushi.

Calm down, Bon.

Eko…

It doesn't matter how many we've lost.

What matters is that
we eliminate our enemies before us.

You're right.

Eko!

We've lost so many…

Our numbers are decreasing…

Kahaku!

Fushi, you're awake!

What's going on? What happened?

Nothing.

That can't be true!

No.

Nothing has changed
since the battle began.

You collapsed, so we took over.

That's all.

Bon is reporting
the current situation to the princess.

What about the others?

The other three… have died.

They're dead?

They're only human, after all.

Fortunately, the Nokkers
haven't been able to climb over the walls.

I stopped all of them.

Don't worry, Fushi.

You still have me.

Kai… Hairo… Messar…

Fushi! Are you all right?

He reduced his scope for now.

Kahaku, I'll need you to defend
the wall with Camu and the others.

What? But…

All of you are aware
that Nokkers are among us, yes?

Of course.

He is one of them.

You were wanted, just like Fushi.

It's impressive that you managed to retain
consciousness with one of them inside you.

Kahaku is a valuable combatant.

But you must all be wary
of people that have been invaded

by Nokkers as well.

Okay. We just need
to eradicate them, right?

Kai. Hairo. Messar.

Don't forget them.

We are here because of those regrets.

We choose to stay.

It'll be bad if you get cold feet now.

How did they die?

Eko will show you.

Don't let the Nokkers get inside!

Catapults, fire at ten o'clock!

Danger at the fourth east tower!

We're moving the fuel
over there right now.

I'll head over there!

Look! It's a Nokker!

Stop. He is one of us…

The east tower?

I'm worried about Hairo.

I'll go check on them.

Be careful!

Come back before sunrise!

Messar!

Protecting Fushi's rope
is our utmost priority!

Don't leave his side!

What's this?

It's fine.

I will protect Fushi.

I'm sorry. I wasn't good enough,

but the battle isn't over yet.

We still need your power.

I know.

I'll k*ll all of them.

Fushi!

NEXT EPISODE

Kai. Hairo. Messar.

The three warriors are dead.

Driven by rage and sadness
over the loss of his allies,

Fushi takes on the Nokkers.

Yet, the pieces return to life.

Fushi remains unaware

of the other power he holds.
