01x26 - A Renewed Encounter

[bunniefuu]

Jinka.

I'll have you out of there soon.

The battle between the Tribe of the Void's
army and the Thousand-Demon Chaos is nigh.

That will be your only chance to break
the Tribe's grasp on Banshou-ou.

You'd better hurry.

The final battle begins now.

Are you certain, Elder Daigan?

Yes, without a doubt.

Shakugan has awoken from her rocky prison.

I see. Where did they take Shakugan
and the rest of the villagers?

After the incident,

I expanded my spirit energy
in order to track them down.

Just now, I discovered a very large
and abnormal land.

Almost all of that land's spirit energy
was devoured by something eight years ago.

Eight years ago. Could it be?

Sensei?

Let's go, Tsukiko!

The Tribe of the Void are responsible
for abducting the Katawara.

Senya and Nau must be there too.

Right!

Don't worry, Elder Daigan.

Shakugan, everyone in the village...

I'll save them all!

Your soul shines bright.

Fate will surely lend its strength
to a man like yourself.

That's right.

Here we go.

I know where Jinun,
Banshou-ou, and the rest are headed.

Perfect timing, too.
Just as our wounds have healed up.

Let's go.

The stage of the final battle.
The Dangaishuu's head temple.

T-The Dangaishuu's head temple?
You're really going?

Of course.

What, are you scared?

Get lost, Tago.

We don't need you.

Don't say that, Mudo.

Thank you for showing us the way.

Farewell.

Wait.

You still owe me for the musket.

He remembered, nau.

W-Will this be enough?

Not even close!
This is a kid's pocket change!

Take me to the head temple with you
and I'll let it slide!

It'll be dangerous.

Then you can guard me too!

Then we'll be even!

I don't know
if I'll be able to keep you safe.

The head temple is also the location of
the genius researcher Yazen's lab.

While everyone is fighting,
I'll help myself to all of his stuff!

It'll be scary, but as they say,
nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Wait!

You guys wait here.

We'll finish the party when we get back.

Get the sake ready!

Douren! Mudo!

Thank you! Good luck!

Leave it to us!

We've rounded up the monks, High Priest.

And when will the operation take place?

Lord Douren! It's Lord Douren!

We were just about to
go reclaim the head temple!

Lord Douren has
the power of one thousand men!

I'm glad you're here, Douren.
And who are the others?

My disciple, and Jinun's disciple, Senya.

Senya?

Do you remember me?

We met a few times when you were small.

Um... Sorry.

I see.

And that disciple is?

Is he a dragon?

Who do you think you're talking to,
damn monk?

You...!

How dare you?!

What are you doing to do about it?!

Enough!

Ouch...

Fine...

Their fighting spirit is incredible.

These three have enough spirit
to rival that army.

We may reclaim the head temple,
but can we deal with Banshou-ou?

High Priest.

What is it, Senya?

I believe the Katawara army is
being controlled by the Tribe of the Void.

That's why...

"Don't k*ll them."

Right?

Yes.

Avoiding bloodshed is impossible.

We've retreated this far,
but there have already been casualties.

Then we must not lose
another person, another body!

You're asking us not to fight?

Then what did you come here for?

To issue an evacuation warning.

Leave this fight to the three of us.

You retreat back to the village
and await news of our victory.

What?

High Priest!

I'll leave it to you, Douren.

Senya. Be careful.

Escape as soon as you sense danger.

If you hope to save each and every life,

please remember
to think about your own life, too.

Thank you.

I'm ready. Let's go, nau.

Nau.

Let's go.

It's a wasteland.

There's nowhere to hide.

There's quite a distance to cover,

but we have no choice.

They're here.

There they are.

Well then, just as we promised, Jinun...

The old man...

My father...

...will be defeated by
whoever finds him first!

Go!

Go forth, filthy ones.

Fallen Demon Princesses!

Let's get this party started!

Water?

Give me a break.
You think this will stop me?

By the way, is it true that
if you eat a mermaid's flesh

you can become immortal?

Come on, you started this fight.
Don't run away!

Wait, damn it!

What is he doing...

Hmph!

My spirit fur armor is in top condition.

No time to go around.
I'll take them head on!

Douren...

He's heading straight
into the army of Katawara.

Senya!

That was close! My tail froze!

A blizzard? This could be bad news
for a Water God like you, Nau.

I'll handle this.

Yuukaikanshou!

Stop!

I'm going to melt!

A Kasha? Everyone, douse it with water!

Beware of fire!

P-Pure white...

Nau, I want to drop off this Yuki Onna.

Okay. We'll put her down there.

She's awake.

Hold me! Let me melt in your arms!

I love you!

If you're all better then you need to
run away and hide somewhere.

Don't leave me down there!

Take me with you!

Sit still!

What is Senya doing?

Looks like I'll be the first one there.

Even so, how did they
get all these Katawara?

Out of my way.

Where is Jinun?

In the head temple?

Who is that guy?

He has the lowest spirit energy,

and yet, he's the strongest?

Meow! The whale ants go marching
one by one with freezing salt.

Sitting manju, three stories, wasabi.

Give me a break.

Would you mind getting out of my way?

Nekomata, you can't beat him
in a battle of strength.

Mess with his mind.

She stopped him? That giant monster?

Let's take over his mind while he sleeps.

He'll make a good trump card like Nadare.

Douren!

What are you doing?
You're better than this!

This voice...

Tree leaves?

Cat nip?

Phantosmia? An illusion?

Tama the Youko is here!

It's you!

But why?

It's been a while.

I've got business with Banshou-ou.

I'm joining the fight!

A new enemy.

Then it's our turn.

Come forth, stone troops.

I recognize them...

The rock Katawara?

This spirit energy...

No way.

Shaku... Why?

You know her?

That should mess with your mind.

Do it.

They got away?

They ran away before they could get here?

What do we do next? At this rate...

I know.

We'll make it so that
they can't escape easily.

It seems relying on
brute force alone wasn't enough.

We have to do something.

Master.

Mudo? Senya, too?

You both retreated?

They got away.

Tama? What are you doing here?

Oh, sorry. Hakke Neko told me
where I could find Banshou-ou.

Who's that?

A Yuki Onna.

I'm his wife.

Wife?!

Nice work.

I'll take Tsukiko, then.

You've got it wrong!
She's just saying that!

You've sure grown up, Senya.

It's not like that.
I just saved her with Yuukaikanshou.

Should we keep this a secret from Tsukiko?

I'm telling you!

Just let go of me! I'm cold!

Don't push me away!

Don't come near me! I'll freeze!

Well, anyway...

Senya, is that black dragon
the one from before?

Yes. This is Mudo.

He made himself look older than before.

Who the hell are you? I'll eat you up.

He was calling Douren his master, too.

Say something!

Perhaps finding a master
helped him grow up a bit.

I've matured since that day, as well.

If I could return Shaku to normal,

would she even recognize me now?

Senya.

Yes?

A friend of mine is among the Katawara
being controlled by the Tribe.

A red-haired stone demon.

Please.

Save her.

Okay. Leave it to me.

I'm sorry. Thank you.

Why are we just sitting out here, Master?

Oh, right. Break time's over. Let's go.

I'm going too.

Me too.

I wanna go too!

Tama, can you take care of this Yuki Onna?

Oh, sure...

What?!

By the way, you guys have a plan right?

I'm going to save the Shoujou
and crush old man Nadare!

I'll save the Shoujou first,
and then take down Jinun.

I'm going to save my father
and finish things with the Tribe.

Oh, I see...

I see that you guys
haven't planned anything...

Wait up.
I'll cast some illusion magic on you.

It'll be easier to sneak...

Can you hear me, Senya?

It's the Tribe.

If you don't show yourselves
by the count of ten,

I'll k*ll a monkey.

Ten second after that,
I'll k*ll a stone demon.

Ten second after that,
it's another monkey.

Then a stone demon.

After all the monkeys and stones are gone,

I'll k*ll the Katawara one by one,
starting with the weakest.

Here I go.

One...

Two...

Three...

Senya!

Five...

Six...

Seven...

Eight...

Senya! Nau!

You guys can wait right there.

It's Senya we have business with.

The stone woman's arm
is aimed right at the monkeys.

You can see that far?!

A stone woman? Shaku?

Oh no. This doesn't look good.

I knew they were a despicable bunch,

but I don't feel anger
towards them anymore.

Furuon. I will avenge you.

They deserve to be destroyed!

What do you want?

Want me to fight all of them?

Fine by me. I'll take them all back.

That sounds good, too.
But your real opponent is...

Nadare.

You're up.

Old man Nadare!

Jinun!

Father.

I can see it, Senya.
A disturbance in your soul.

Your fate power is quivering.

It's like a giant vortex.
Can we overcome a fate as strong as his?

We have to destroy him
in order to change our own fates.

You're mine, Senya.

The core of your being.
The vortex of chaotic destiny.

Your spirit energy. The singularity.
The Jewel of One Thousand Wonders.

Go forth, Nadare!

Shatter our fate of destruction!

Where are you going, Nadare?

Come back!

Listen to my orders!

Not there!

Your enemy is...

Me!

REMNANTS OF YAZEN'S LAB

I can smell it! The smell of treasure!

I found it!
A mountain of cursed tools and treasures!

W-What is this?
