01x23 - Senya's Eight Years

[bunniefuu]

Don't hold back.

Senya...

No, my son... My disciple.

Show me what you've learned...

in the last eight years.

This is bad. I bet that must have
scared some of the Katawara.

Not bad. Should we hit him
with that big arm again?

Use a blade! A blade!

I was worried for nothing.

Let's do this, everyone!

Jinun is pretty agile
for having just woken up.

Senya...

His attacks are fast, heavy, and sharp.

I can't fight him in close quarters.

His power and techniques surpass mine.

I'll get worn out defending like this.

Then I'll end this quickly
by using everything I got!

Sen...

Ki...

Ya...

Senya!

That big guy is pretty light on his feet.

He really is something.

He was just released after eight years,

but he's still so agile
and has this much power.

Certainly the strongest human
I've ever seen.

This isn't a good match for Senya
as he is now.

He stopped my Senkiyakou?

What's wrong, Senya?

Stop fooling around already.

Senya.

Senya won't lose.

Senya won't lose!

Nau...

Here we go!

Full power!

Gou...

Shin...

g*n!

Hmm. That wasn't too bad.

His defense is way too hard!

We were able to hit Mudo, but not him!

It's my father's technique, Hagunshou.

He uses the spirit energy
in his palm to defend himself.

But how did he block an attack
from all sides with only one hand?

What a godly technique.

What's wrong? Out of plans?

-What will you do?
-Senya!

Senkiyakou.

What?

It's a move by all of us
that has defeated a dragon before.

The next one will hit
and we will surpass my father!

Let's finish this.

I understand you left the Dangaishuu
and have been away from battle,

but it seems you've been lazing around
these eight years.

How unfortunate.

Here it comes!

It's Hagunshou!

These are my...

No, our one thousand arrows!

Try stopping this with one hand!

Senkiyakou!

Hagun Soushou!

Senkiyakou?

In a row?!

Magairyuujinkyaku!

Two consecutive attacks of that level?

It's a nice try,
but he's used too much energy.

He has nothing left...

Senkiyakou!

Third spear!

What is this energy?

What is this speed?

So this is what you've gained
in these eight years.

And this is just a bonus!

The Fist of Your Son!

Senya!

Amazing.

Senkiyakou, I see.

He was able to sh**t
three of those in a row?

Hanatora must have
really put him through the ringer.

She had him fire Senkiyakou twice
into the sky every three days

to deplete his energy
before he began his training.

He was almost k*lled, nau.

Oh?

I see. So you have gotten stronger.

I admit that you weren't slacking off,
but your finish is weak.

How?

It hit, didn't it?

That would've taken Mudo down.

Wide-area attacks are not suited
for one-on-one combat.

A simple diagonal barrier is enough
to disperse the energy.

-A barrier?!
-Seriously?

There's no way it was a perfect defense.

I know it hit him.

We'll keep at it!

You can still fight?

What amazing stamina.

Very well.

Who is this?

The Tribe of the Void
sent my father to the spirit world?

Stop them, Senya!

I know!

Yuukaikanshou!

What is this place?

Father.

You're safe.

Senya...

Why are you so small?

Don't worry. This is the spirit world.

The spirit world?

My lady!

I made it just in time.

I thought I saw you get dragged here.

By these two.

Our plan was to just get Taizan.
She is quite an ancient god.

What do we do?

Our target is Taizan.

We retreat if it's impossible.

Our true goal is of another nature.

That's the Tribe of the Void.

They battle in the spirit world

to take over your consciousness
and drive you mad.

Tribe of the Void?

A child?

With silver hair and fairy eyes?

Not one of the two from before...

Are they your enemy?

Yes.

However...

nobody stands a chance
against us in the spirit world.

It can't be...

Nadare?

Nadare?

Who wakes me from my slumber?

Yazen. Kokugetsusai. Where are they?

There's no doubt about it.

That is Nadare,
the dragon that sleeps inside me.

I heard that High Priest Yazen
and his friend Kokugetsusai

worked together to seal him away.

It may just be an illusion
cast by the Tribe of the Void.

An illusion?

Planting such a monster within your body
takes a truly depraved man.

Thanks to that, the Jewel
of One Thousand Wonders was born.

"One Thousand Wonders."
Does he mean the Katawara inside of you?

Yes. That's what they're after.

They call you Jinun, right?

As his father, what possessed you
to cram one thousand monsters

inside your own son's young body?

How did it feel for you, Senya?

To be filled with countless demons...

What a horrible father you have!

What must he think of
his own child's life?

An obvious attempt to upset me.

In this age of warring states,

it is military power
that fulfills one's wishes.

I wanted my son, to have the power

to decide his own fate
with his own two hands.

What twisted thinking.

I am being sincere.

This is an age
where the weak cannot be happy.

I do not want this child
to be unable to protect his loved ones.

I want to give him a chance
to get what he wants.

Father...

Jinun. You're one of
the strongest humans alive.

Were you able to become happy yourself?

Did your power bring you happiness?

No...

I couldn't protect her.

Senya, I couldn't protect your mother.

M... My mother?

I'm not the strongest. I'm powerless.

Oh? You sure broke down quickly.

You must have some deep regrets.

You are indeed powerless.

In that case,

why don't you give me that body of yours?

I'll make it nice and strong for you.

That's enough.

Get out of here now!

Get out!

Hyakumankiyakou!

There it is, your trump card!
But nothing can't beat this!

Worshipped by countless civilizations
throughout the ages,

the supreme deity of mythology,

Amaterasu!

My lady! Lord Taizan!

Did they give up?

For some reason,
they seemed unable to touch you.

They can't touch you?

What do you mean?

We've failed?

Diving into that one is too risky.

It would be too difficult a fight.

And how about them?

So, Nadare? How do you feel?

It is you who is the strongest.

The only one fit to hold
the name of Dragon God!

Father?

Let's go, Nadare.
We're leaving this mountain.

Retreat?

Senya is right in front of us.

Don't be hasty. This is not the time.

Just look over there.

-Taizan.
-Yes, my lady.

How dare you ruin my savior Senya's duel?

You think you can just walk into my house
and then retreat?

They changed the landscape...

Is Senya safe?

Senya is okay, nau.

Father...

He dodged it?

I thought I had you totally buried.

I must have held back too much,
trying to keep Senya safe.

Well done, Nadare.

Run!

Jinun should be a wreck
after all that fighting.

What is this energy?

Tsukiko? What are you...

I'm going to assist them.

Assist? What's with that gourd anyway?

Just a little cheat.

Talismans?

I'm going!

Wait!

Nau!

Tsukiko! Nau!

The trees wilted? No way...

Tsukiko!

What are you doing?

The older god is closing in.

Think we can get away?

I see where you're going. You're mine!

He's backtracking?

-My lady!
-My lady!

-Nau!
-Right!

Stop.

Tsukiko, stop!

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to protect Senya
and the people he cares about!

Father, please lend me your strength!

Itakebi!

A lightning attack?

Nadare.

He diverted it?

He used a guard talisman?

The dragon used a talisman?

He's not like the other Crazed Gods.

And...

Fine.

I'll keep firing until I run out of a*mo!

Give back Senya's father!

Lightning power? Not bad!

You can come with us, too.

This is...

The Tribe of the Void's world.
Just like Senya mentioned.

Hey, there.

I will now break your spirit,

using the form of the most powerful being
that you can imagine.

I can't lose here. I refuse to lose!

Think, think, think!

Think...

You are a strong girl.

Jinun?

Why are you here?

He called me here.

Hey, Tsukiko.

Dad? How?

You called me, didn't you?
You asked me to give you strength!

And it's not just this one time.

Every time you've call for me
from within your heart,

I've always been there to support you.

It seems
that's how the spirit world works.

Dad...

Looks like I dragged in some pests.

I'll make them all bow down to Amaterasu.

You shall be defeated!

Jinun! You push from that side!
I'll pull from mine!

-Please, help her.
-Very well.

Dad...

Jinun!

Dad!

Please take care of my son.

Senya.

I'm glad it worked.

I'm sorry. I couldn't save your father.

It's okay. I'm just glad you're safe.

My dad... He's been watching over me.

Tsukiko.

Sheesh.
That disciple of mine is a handful.

He got away.

My lady!

Tsukiko! Senya!

Looks like things are getting
a bit messy out there.

You seem to be enjoying it, Lord Yazen.

I suppose I am, Kuzunoha.

The mountain goddess's
energy is in turmoil.

Princess Mitsuchi Oyama has been wounded.

She can't break the barrier around
the thousand-tailed fox's island now.

How unfortunate.

Just when we'd found a way

to return Jinka to his true form.
