01x16 - Mad God of the Wild City

[bunniefuu]

Tsukiko!

It's her...

Who the hell are you?!

That hurts!

His skin is hard!

Tsuki...

Tsukiko multiplied, nau!

-An illusion?
-Is that Tama?

Are you okay?

You fool! Now your illusion is pointless!

Tsukiko!

Farewell!

Damn it!

Wow, he fell right for it.

Oh? You didn't notice either?

The one he kidnapped is
one of the illusions.

No way!

Then where's the real Tsukiko?

Over there.

Which one?!

Tsukiko!

Tsukiko!

Tsukiko!

Senya...

Trying to fight a dragon...

Thank you.

I-It's okay.

Geez... Reckless as always...

What if the real Tsukiko
fell straight to the ground?!

Don't get it twisted.

The illusions were going to turn into
leaves that would have caught her.

T-Thank you.

Senya, was it? Long time no see.

Who are you?

H-Hey!

He's been through a lot.

What about you? Why do you look like that?

Well, I've been through a lot too.
But I look cool, right?

Nau.

Oh, you're back.

Damn it, failed again!

At any rate, I've got to find
that strong b*stard!

Well, shall I introduce myself?

My name is Tama.
An old friend of Shinsuke's.

And this is my illusion master.

Master?

Is that a Katawara?

I'm Tsukiko.

A disciple of Shinsuke Sensei.

I'm Senya.

I've lost my memory.

Nau, nau.

Disciple?!

You?

She's not.

S-Shinsuke Sensei is
a strong, cool, and brave warrior!

She idolizes you.

What did you do to trick her?

I'm telling you, she's not my disciple.

You two go play outside, okay?

This lady and I have some talking to do.

She seems to know who I am,

but it doesn't feel like we were friends...

Good grief...

You suddenly disappeared without a trace
and now here you are.

Suddenly?

Am I wrong?

After the battle at
Dangaishuu's head temple,

When I came to at
the Mountain God's place, you were gone.

How could you just leave me there?

Yeah, yeah. My bad. I'm sorry, okay?

That's it?

That hurts! It really hurts!

Well...

I wasn't sure when you'd wake up.

I'm taking this.

But while I did leave quickly,
I haven't accomplished much.

I returned to my old illusion master
to learn more techniques

and searched far and wide for clues
on Jinka's whereabouts.

You haven't had any luck?

No.

Now, I'm looking for this amazing
fortune teller that my master knows.

Fortune teller?

Will they know?

Who knows?

How about you, Shinsuke?

What happened?

To me? Well...

I came to, and you were gone.

The Mountain God said...

Let's give you a goal!

A goal?

After training here for three months,
I'd like you to look for Jinka.

Jinka?

You don't want to?

I'm sorry, but I can't trust you
for some reason.

You don't have to.

But this is a job.
You will be rewarded, of course.

I don't want your money.

I know that. Your reward is...

I'll wake your friend
that's been turned to stone.

Shakugan...

Can it be done?!

I'm not sure.

I had my doubts about it,
but in any case, I accepted.

You have no talent at all.

Forgive me!
I didn't think you'd be this weak!

You're helpless.

So, I trained for three months...

I feel like you're skipping past a lot...

It'll be a long story
if I tell you everything.

Do you want to hear it?

No, it's fine.

So you took off after that.

That was my plan, at least.

I hurt all over...
Am I well enough to travel?

You might want to keep back.

I'm in the middle of something.

Is that...

Senya?

I was hoping to task him with a job,

but he's quite stubborn.

It's my duty to avenge my father...
No, master as a disciple.

I told you. Your father's been
sealed away, but he's still alive.

If you'll accept the job,
I'll let him go free.

A Dangaishuu does not negotiate
with Katawara even if you may be a god...

Ever!

How unfortunate.

I thought you might actually defeat
the Thousand Tailed Fox one day.

Such great potential.

The Katawara wouldn't be happy
with you as a member of a human group.

Let me crack the egg of
the one thousand devils here and now.

What?

I don't really know myself.

I just thought that
maybe you shouldn't be k*lling a kid.

You know how horrifying I can be
after your three months of training.

Yet you still face me?

I'm quite impressed.

Your training is now complete.

T-Thanks...?

It might be a bit difficult to
try to keep just you alive, Shinsuke.

Farewell.

My lady!

What is it, Rinzu?

I... um...

Let's go!

Why are you helping me again?

Hell if I know!

I won't let you go!

-Raishoujusen!
-My lady, no!

Rinzu?

Tree! Tree!

When I came to,
I was in Tsukiko's village.

Senya came to a few days later,
but had lost his memory.

I see.

I managed to make it away
from the Mountain God,

but it's probably over for Shakugan, now.

Forgive me.

It's not your fault.

Don't you worry about me!

I'm sure she'd say something like that.

Yeah.

In any case, I've decided what to do.

I have to find Jinka.

How dare you make a fool of me...

The girl will be mine.

I'll devour Senya as well.

The swordsman and that damn fox,

I'll k*ll them all!

I'll be leaving you here.

I'll notify you of any progress.

Right.

Tsukiko, Nau. Take care.

You too.

Senya.

Yes?

It's not easy for those with strength
to avoid fighting.

But it feels like that is
the path I must take to become human.

I see.
I hope you're able to become human, then.

Let's go.

Okay.

Lord Mudo! There she is! Over there!

Shut up! I see her!

The dragon.

You're alone? You damn fox.

No matter. You'll be my first blood.

You're not very classy for a dragon.

Begone!

Farewell!

Damn you.

How dare you make a fool of me?!
I'll k*ll you!

Crap. Let's get out of here.

Our journey continued like this.

We just walked quietly
towards the capital.

Shinsuke, Tsukiko, Nau and I.

And booze.

And we finally made it to the capital.

I expected a worse scene.
There are a lot of people here.

It's the capital, after all.

There's a skull here, nau.

It does have a few rough spots
here and there.

The capital is a city of evil.

The miasma is thick with
the faint presence many spirits.

Spirits...

A letter?

Yeah. Give it to a man named Zanzou Raidou
in a place called Nijou Gosho.

Okay.

Just ask a gatekeeper or something.
They should be able to help.

Probably.

What about you?

I'm getting drunk, nau.

A bad role model, nau.

Nijou Gosho...

Gosho...

It is where the Shogun lives.

The Dangaishuu must not get involved
with their activities.

Have you been there?

I... I'm not sure.

I'll go ask for directions.

Dangaishuu...

Forgive me.

I'll turn into a Crazed God soon.

Please do it where no one's around.

Senya.

I know where to go.

Are you okay?

Oh, no, it's nothing.

Nau. Go with Tsukiko.

No needless fighting, okay?

Is this about earlier?

Senya?

Sorry. I have to go.

Let's meet up with Shinsuke later.

A Crazed God... but she didn't seem
to be losing her mind.

An abandoned temple?

I don't know how soon it will be,

but I'll wait here.

Once the enemy comes,
I'll lure her into the mountains.

I have a feeling this is about
the one thousand Katawara inside me.

I can't let Tsukiko be involved again
like before.

The enemy is here!

A Crazed God?

I'm itching for a fight!

Against the dragon they were so scared,
but they're in high spirits now.

Senya plans to escape!

Can't we get him to fight?

She's here!

-What is this power?
-God of the land!

She seems different.

But the spiritual power is the same.

To the mountain!

She's faster than me...

No, I'll give it my all.

Lend me your strength, Katawara!

This power causes conflict,
but it's necessary to avoid conflict.

This hypocrisy...

Sensei!

Did you hand over the letter?

Yes. To the gatekeeper.

But...

Are you okay? Have a drink.

Okay.

Sorry! I forgot it was booze.

Sensei. It's Senya...

A Crazed God, nau.

A Crazed God?

I think Senya is trying to deal with it.

Sensei! You have to help Senya!

Please... Senya...

Get something to eat and wait here.

-Ok.
-Nau.

Be good until I get back.

Still chasing me?

Until I defeat her,
she'll continue forever...

How charming.

A cat dragonfly and dog dragonfly
chasing down a rabbit...

In there!

In this narrow sea,

how long must one sleep
to catch up to the ant whale?

Just like before.

Like the last Crazed God.

How brave it is to flee...

Green-faced shrew and
rosy-cheeked tanuki, taking a bath...

What are those little things?

It's not easy for those with strength...

I will protect you!

I will become a human!

...to start life anew.

...the one thousand devils...

Our power exists to defeat evil.

I am not your father. Call me master.

Calm your power in times of danger
and listen to the voices inside.

k*ll me.

Please.

Why are you asking me?

Only those with strength...

Only you can do it!

Why me?!

Senya...

Shinsuke...

This is...

The group of five...

I couldn't... disobey them.

They exploited a weakness in my soul...

The five...

You saw them? The group of five?

I had decided I wouldn't fight...

I...

I didn't want to fight.

You're alive.

You're alive. That's what matters.

Cheer up a little.

Tsukiko is waiting.

Senya, Shinsuke.

Tsukiko?

Who are you?

I'd love to introduce myself,
but we're out of time.

Look forward to next time!
