02x11 - Kessen no saku (kôhen)

[bunniefuu]

All right!

The eyeball on top of the Tower
of the Full Moon Raccoon Dog is closed!

First I'm going to get back

my bow and arrows from Shogen Mamiana!

Where am I?

Zero!

Without your demon power, it's easy
to put you under my illusion spell.

The sorrow in her eyes isn't consistent.

A grieving heart, tears of distress...

feel free to enjoy them, Lord Nanahoshi.

"Battle on the New Moon, Part 2."

TOWA AND SETSUNA'S MOTHER - RIN

Oh, no.

The silver scales have spread so far.

Lord Sesshomaru.

I want to see them...

my girls...

one last time.

Lord Sesshomaru...

Towa... Towa is crying.

Tonight is the new moon.

That means that right about now
Towa and Setsuna's demon powers are ...

DEMON SLAYER - SETSUNA

SNOW DEMONS - SNOW BEASTS

Sesshomaru's daughter.

Time to settle an old score.

This is the finest aromatic wood
in the world, the Mini Galaxy.

What are you doing?

TOWA HIGURASHI

That eternity bug...

it will suck out your pain and suffering.

When it returns to the Mini Galaxy,

it will release
the most splendid fragrance.

Sir Shogen!

-How is everything going?
-Nothing out of the ordinary, sir.

Tonight's the night of the new moon.

The Full Moon Raccoon Dog's eye is closed.

We'll keep a closer watch
on things than usual!

At daybreak, we shall hold
Lord Kikunosuke's coming-of-age ceremony.

You must prevent any intruders
from interfering with that!

-Yes, sir!
-Yes, sir!

Sir Shogen seems to be in a good mood.

Of course he is.

After tomorrow,
he'll consolidate his position.

Hey, stop struggling!

Let go of me!

Sir Shogen?

Open the gates!

I finally caught the intruder
who works for Takechiyo!

Well, um...

Wait! You didn't see me come by, did you?

Her companion Hachiemon
got away from me and ran this way!

So the one we just saw a moment ago...

Was Hachiemon disguised as Sir Shogen?

You fools!

You let him into the castle?

Ha! That's so pathetic!

You raccoon dog demons
can't even see through a transformation?

Attention, all guards!
There's an intruder!

An intruder has snuck his way
into the castle!

Not only that,
he's disguised himself as Sir Shogen!

-Huh?
-There he is! Get him!

What's going on?

What are you fools doing?

Silence, Hachiemon!

Stop that! I said stop!

It worked like a charm!

Now to wait and see how things play out.

All right.

First I get back my bow and arrows.

Who's there?

You're the intruder who escaped
from the dungeon, aren't you?

Oh, it's just you, Kikunosuke.

Don't scare me like that.

How is my brother doing?

Is he well?

Because of my lack of courage,

I have put him through much hardship.

I'm sure he must despise me.

Takechiyo is trying to deal
with this whole situation in his own way.

But he didn't seem to hold
any grudge against you.

Really? I wish I could see
my brother right now.

I'd like to apologize
from the bottom of my heart.

Well, what do you know?

This kid is far more mature
than Takechiyo.

Where is my brother?

-Takechiyo is-
-You mustn't, Lord Kikunosuke.

Do you intend
to bring down the Mamidaira Clan?

F-Full Moon Raccoon Dog?

Capture that girl immediately.

Ha ha!

You're trying to take control
of the Mamidaira Clan

away from Takechiyo and Kikunosuke!

That won't work on me.

No way!

Did you think you could seal me away
with that level of spirit power?

I can't move.

Nice saving, Takamaru!

TAKECHIYO'S RETAINER - TAKAMARU

Lord Kikunosuke, help me get up!

Who would listen to anything you say?

Takamaru, did you get
a response from them?

What the hell? I can't make sense of this.

Let's see.

"Dear Lady Moroha,

daughter of Inuyasha and Lady Kagome...

during this time where spring approaches,

I am very pleased to hear
about your continued growth.

Now concerning your question

on how to repel
Shogen Mamiana's secret technique,

the spell known as the World Reversal..."

Aww, this preface is so long!

Curses! So you already snuck
this far into the castle?

Lord Kikunosuke,
first off, come over here!

Are you really Shogen?

Sure you're not Hachiemon in disguise?

Stop talking nonsense!

You fools! Don't mistake me
for someone else!

But we've been falling
for their tricks nonstop.

You're all so unreliable!

I have no choice.
I'll take you on myself!

Oh, sorry.

I'm not done reading this letter,
so I can't deal with you.

Well, whatever the case,
keep up the good work, Hachiemon!

I'm not Hachiemon!

G-Get back here!

G-Go after that giant red kite!

Lord Kikunosuke has been abducted!

Don't let them get away!

Understood! After them, men!

Don't let them get away!

Our next clan leader has been kidnapped!

Shh.

I'm counting on you, Takamaru.

All right. We're in the endgame now.

Her demon energy is so weak!

Is she really Sesshomaru's daughter?

"If the demon who shows up is..."

If the demon who shows up
is taller than six shaku,

pull the rope labeled "one"
dangling from the ceiling.

That's what it says.

He's at least seven shaku tall.

Who the hell are you?

We're demon slayers

Demon slayers?

Were you hired by the innkeeper here?

Well, something like that.

-There.
-Huh?

Whoa!

Rokuta! Nanasuke!

He's all yours!
Leave him to us!

What the-

-Ready, and...
-Go!

Oh, no!

Hisui, what does it say about dealing
with demons about a shaku tall?

According to my calculations,
if they are less than ten in numbers...

It says you should be able to destroy
them with your sickle and chain.

I didn't have to ask to know that.

Uh-oh.
The enemy has merged themselves.

ULTRA-SMOOTH LAVENDER HAND CREAM

The demons might merge themselves
to become as big as five shaku tall.

Here is how to deal with them.

Let's see now.
A demon as big as five shaku tall...

Found it.

Oh, she wants me
to defeat them with Hiraikotsu.

Hiraikotsu!

Will it be like this the entire night?

Hey, you guys!

Stop messing with me!

Let's see. The second time, I pull this...

I won't fall for that again!

Huh?

Please! Stop hurling me!

I'm surprised that Setsuna can sleep
while all this is happening.

You can cry if you want, Towa.

The more tears you shed,
the more your sorrow will be alleviated.

I'll never cry!

This is most impressive!

Let your tears overflow.

Scream as loud as you can.

And reveal the vicious darkness
that hides deep within your heart!

I won't cry!

I refuse to cry!

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE -
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE -
YASHAHIME: PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

What will you do now?

The Full Moon Raccoon Dog's main body
is within that tower.

The Full Moon Raccoon Dog
within the partition screen

was probably Shogen Mamiana
throwing his voice.

Then why did he say that your
spirit power won't work against him?

Spirit powers can't seal away
a simple painting.

The fact is, the guy does
feel threatened by my spirit powers.

That's why he tried that crafty bluff.

I see.

Look at how much he's embezzled

from your taxes!

Shogen Mamiana has been deceiving you!

Let's work together to throw him out!

Yeah!

I envy my brother.

He has someone
as wonderful as you as an ally.

I lack his kind of virtue.

The Mamidaira Clan is in decline
because of my pitiful behavior.

I know you're going through a lot,

but you should try to get along
with your brother.

So that's the thing
my mom sealed away, huh?

I've been told the Full Moon Raccoon Dog
was our clan's guardian spirit.

Come on.

He may be your guardian spirit,

but what good is he if someone
like Shogen Mamiana misuses him?

Lady Moroha...

I'm not like my mom!

This isn't the Arrow of Sealing!

I'm going to purify you
with a Sacred Arrow!

Go!

Kikunosuke!

Are you all right, Kikunosuke?

Brother!

Hold on tight!

Are you all right?

Is that really you, Hachiemon?

I hope you're not Shogen Mamiana.

Very funny, Miss Moroha.

You've taken everything from me!

In that case, want to settle this here,
Shogen Mamiana?

With pleasure.

I will get my revenge on Inuyasha
for scarring my face

by defeating his daughter!

Takechiyo!

Hold these two letters high enough
so that I can read them!

Huh? Why me?

This concerns your clan!

If you don't stand your ground,

who will keep the peace
in the Mamidaira Clan?

-Fine, I'll do it.
-And besides...

you're the only one
I can ask to do this, Takechiyo!

Moroha... you can count on me!

Here we go!

Crimson Dragon Wave!

Hmph! Women of White Mist,
seduce the Crimson Dragon!

That's just what I wanted!

Take this!

Crimson Backlash Wave!

I countered with a Backlash Wave
at the slowest speed.

Please let this work!

You fool. You never learn.

World Reversal!

Let's see.

Put my wrists together and...

Nothing is happening!

That's odd.

This is bad!

Look out, Brother!

You too, Miss Moroha! Run!

I believe in you, Moroha!

I got it!
Yell it together!

-World Reversal Reversal!
-World Reversal Reversal!

Impossible!

This is the technique
that monk used before!

Phew.

We defeated him.

Brother... are you all right?

-Yeah. That was a close one.
-Huh?

Wasn't this painting supposed to be fake?

I'm sure that the Full Moon
Raccoon Dog was purified

and released from Shogen Mamiana's spell.

He's become our guardian spirit
once again.

It's all thanks to you, Lady Moroha,
the daughter of the legendary priestess.

I am grateful to you, Lady Moroha!

The Mamidaira Clan
is greatly indebted to you.

Well, it was a pretty big deal, wasn't it?

Thank you, Moroha.

Good luck, Takechiyo!

Make sure you become a great leader
of the Mamidaira Clan!

I'm not doing that.

Huh? Then why did we
work so hard to do this?

It's way more fun to work
over at the corpse dealer.

Well, that may be true, but...

I'm leaving the Mamidaira to Kikunosuke!

I can't do that, Brother!

This castle is too small to contain
someone of my caliber!

I'm going to continue
collecting bounties as I have been

and working towards a bigger dream!

Well said!

Just what I'd expect from someone
who chose me to be his helper!

Why is Moroha acting like she's the boss?

Take this, Moroha!

Your reward of one ryou of gold dust!

You can use that to pay back
your entire debt to Mr. Jyubei!

I don't need it!

Moroha?

I have no intention of leaving
the bounty-hunting business either!

A debt of one ryou is perfectly fine.

Let's make all sorts of noise
living with the corpse dealer!

What do you say, Takechiyo?

But I can't take back
any money I've handed out!

In that case, give it away.

You're right.
Take this, Kikunosuke!

Hand it out to your retainers
and subjects who were robbed!

It's not much, though.

Brother, Lady Moroha.

Well, shall we get going, Takechiyo?

Okay! Sounds good!

-Thank you very much!
-Thank you very much!

You don't have to do that.

Take care, you guys! Bye!

Morning, Setsuna.

That over there is the Yukinyudo
we've been hearing about.

Did I cause any problems for the inn?

No. In fact, they were thankful.

Come on. Let's go, everyone.

Setsuna will protect us
on the road for a while.

You will do that, right?

Yes. You can count on me.

I'll never forgive you!

Delectable. So delectable...

Such exquisite sorrow,
the finest suffering.

Bring out your hatred!
Bring out more of it!

I'll never forgive you!

I'll never, ever...

forgive any of you!
