02x21 - Kirin Osamu no ayakashi seibatsu

[bunniefuu]

"Osamu Kirin's Apparition Conquest."

The doorway through
the Tree of Ages has closed.

You three!

Thank goodness!

-I thought you had already left.
-We're sorry.

That's right.
You girls shouldn't be out so late.

Anyway, come inside.

Are you hungry?

I wonder if I have any leftovers.

Those Half-Demon Princesses
are the ones responsible

for bringing about
the Degenerate Age in this world...

You humans will be
devoured by demons and perish.

KIRINMARU'S INCARNATION -OSAMU KIRIN

How problematic.

This will hardly be good enough.

At this rate, humanity will suffer
serious casualties.

That aside, I wonder
what Rion is doing right now.

Even if she has a puppet body...

This is...

Riku!

I'm sorry.

I was prepared for this!

Come on! Let's go!

Okay!

HIGURASHI FAMILY CAT -BUYO

I see.

You're unable to go back to
the other world.

At this rate,
something even worse might happen.

But things are peaceful right now.

I don't think you need to be so grim.

Why don't you take it easy for a bit?

I was finally able to meet
my mom and dad too.

Come to think of it...

I'm pretty sure my sister mentioned

that she wasn't able to go
to the other side once before.

But she was able
to go there again later on.

-Really?
-How long did that take?

-I think it was about... three years?
-What?

Three years.

What happened on the other side?

I made a promise...
that I would make it back alive...

and that when I did...

my father, my mother, Setsuna and I...

would hug one another as a family.

Towa.

All right.

Let's try asking the Sacred Tree
for help tomorrow.

I'm sure your feelings
will get through to it.

Papa Sota.

Now then, we should
get some rest for today.

-Okay.
-Setsuna, are you able to sleep now?

Huh? Oh, yes.

I'm glad to hear that!

I want Setsuna to sleep with me.

MEI HIGURASHI

Sleep with me...

Hey, be careful now.

Don't fall asleep along the way.

-I think I'll go to bed too.
-Okay. I'll try.

-Good night, Grandpa.
-Good night.

I almost forgot.
Moroha, care to take a bath?

I'll get the bath ready.

Wow, thanks!

It's been a while since I
took a bath with hot water!

I'm going to bed too.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Papa Sota, Mama Moe...

Good night.

-Go on ahead!
-But...

Quickly!

This is...

No, wait, this is an opportunity.

I'm keeping him asleep for a little while.

He'd been fighting nonstop,
so he seemed to be quite exhausted.

So we finally meet... Rion.

I see. The Kyuyokon fruit, huh?

If you use this, you can suppress
Kirinmaru's demon powers.

-Let go of me!
-Hush!

I am your ally.

Don't you remember me?

I'm the right arm that was cut off
by the Great Dog-Demon.

I've wanted to meet you.

I can't express how much
I've longed to meet you.

I didn't expect for you to have this body.

You must have suffered more than anyone.

I can understand how you feel
more than anyone.

The warmth of your hand!

We both wish for the same world.

The flowers, the trees,
the animals you love so dearly...

and the humans who have created
a wide variety of cultures,

I love them beyond everything else.

Why not use this...

to create the world you desire?

Let's create a world where you
won't have to suffer ever again.

I'm very sorry for all the pain
I have put you through.

I will do whatever I can
to make you happy.

This sensation...

this scent...

Father?

With the Kyuyokon fruit,
you can change the world.

Come on. Let's go.

Miss Rion!

Who is that?

Please, Tree of Ages!

Let us go to the other world!

Akuru! Let us pass through!

Is it no good?

We have to...

get back there.

We must go back there!

We made a promise
that we would go back alive!

Akuru, we're begging you!

-Akuru!
-Akuru!

Akuru!

You can do it, Akuru!

You can do it!

Please! Open it up!

TIME SPIRIT -AKURU

-It opened!
-All right!

Thank you, Akuru!

Akuru?

Akuru is...

He did this for us.

-Let's go!
-Yeah!

We need to go before the door closes.

Towa!

I'm sure this will
come in handy over there.

Thanks!

Setsuna, I hope you'll continue
to enjoy playing the violin.

I will, Ms. Moe.

Don't cry, Mei.

I'm not going to cry!

I won't cry.

I decided I wouldn't cry!

Towa...

I think of you...

as my actual daughter.

I always have, and I always will.

Towa, you will always be my daughter.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry.

Towa, I'm glad you were
able to find Setsuna.

Yeah!

Thank you for searching for her with me!

I'm really...

happy for you.

The past ten years with you...

have brought us more joy
than we could hope for.

-Get going, Towa!
-Okay!

I'll be going now!

Setsuna! Moroha!

-Yeah!
-Let's go!

I won't cry anymore!

I'll make sure you won't
have to worry about me!

Take care!

You're all my beloved great-grandchildren!

We'll see them again someday.

I'm sure we will.

A FEUDAL FAIRYTALE - YASHAHIME:
PRINCESS HALF-DEMON

-We're here!
-What is that?

The Grim Comet!

Tons of demons are spilling out of it!

What is Mr. Kirin trying to do?

The Grim Comet
is what will grant us our wish.

Miss Rion!

Could it be?
Are you Kirinmaru's right arm?

Why, if it isn't Riku. It's been a while.

You mustn't trust him!

I'm sorry you think that.

I'm trying to make Rion's wish come true.

Miss Rion's wish?

Flowers blooming, plants thriving...

birds chirping, animals running around.

She wishes for a world
in which people can live in peace.

No!

-Miss Rion actually wishes for-
-Riku!

I have no need for you anymore!

Miss Rion?

Now then, Rion...

hold up the Kyuyokon fruit
towards the Grim Comet.

Okay.

What... is that?

Now, then, it is about to be born.

The Grim Butterfly!

THE GRIM BUTTERFLY

So this is...

the true identity of the Grim Comet.

Behold!

This is the birth of a new king!

Rion...

you adored the sky
and wished to fly around like a bird!

Say farewell to your human-shaped body

that was molded
out of grave dirt and bones.

You're now free!

You can continue watching over
the world for all time!

By linking to the Grim Butterfly,

I will no longer die,
even if Kirinmaru were to perish.

Riku...

why don't you link your fate
to the Grim Butterfly

and gain eternal life as well?

That is not what I desire!

I see.

In that case, you're not needed.

Demons that this world has no use for...

will be eliminated!

Come on, Rion. Let's go.

Osamu Kirin!

What... is that?

Osamu Kirin...

what do you intend to do with Rion?

Rion!

Rion!

That looks like the Dream Butterfly.

But it's way too big to be that!

Moroha!

Dad!

Looks like you came back
with one hell of a souvenir.

-What in the world happened?
-We don't know.

But demons have been getting sucked in.

Mr. Kirin said
he would destroy all demons.

Riku!

What's wrong?

That wound!

It's nothing.

More importantly, it's Miss Rion!

Did something happen to Rion?

Rion... please absorb all the unnecessary,
weak demons of the world.

Rion! What's the meaning of this?

That's no way to act towards your ruler.

Please kneel before her
and lower your head.

You're just my right arm.

Don't order me around!

I'm your real right arm.

I won't lose to your shoddy replacement.

Kirinmaru...

help me to construct the world
that Rion wishes for!

Rion, open your eyes!

You're the one
who needs to open your eyes.

If you had listened
to the Great Dog-Demon,

Rion wouldn't have died.

It was painful for Rion
to be dragged into battle!

What did you say?

You always prioritized your own desires

and never thought about
what your daughter wanted.

You're the worst sort of father.

Is that true?

Rion.

Kirinmaru...

the Dog-Demon Clan will come
to destroy Rion's dream.

-Stop them.
-Rion!

You're aiming to become
the most powerful demon, right?

In that case, defeat Sesshomaru.

That is Rion's desire...

and yours as well.

Is he telling the truth?

Rion...

Rion was absorbed by the Grim Comet?

I can't believe Mr. Kirin would do that.

Miss Rion is trying to eliminate
all the demons of the world!

There's no time to waste!
Shippo, let's go!

What? Why me?

Shippo, please!

Towa! Setsuna! Moroha!

-Takechiyo!
-Towa, take this with you!

What's this?

We received this from Ogigayatsu Hiiragi,
the Deputy Shogun of Kanto.

It's the famous Kikujumonji.

He wishes for you to save us
from the Degenerate Age.

Thank you very much!

Towa, I will no longer bother
you with the option to run away.

Your attitude of never backing down

has allowed you
to push through many hardships.

Just one thing.

Make sure to come back alive!

I will!

All right, let's go!

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

Master Jaken, what will you be doing?

I will wait here for Lord Sesshomaru!

Understood!

Uncle, we should get going.

Okay. Kirara!

Lord Sesshomaru.

TOWA AND SETSUNA'S MOTHER -RIN
TOWA AND SETSUNA'S FATHER -SESSHOMARU

Lord Sesshomaru!

Rin.

Yes?

Let's go, Rin.

Lord Sesshomaru!

Huh?

Lord Sesshomaru?

I shall reuse you as an energy source...

for the Grim Butterfly.

It's huge.

Rion... wait for us.

He's here.

Sesshomaru...

I've come to settle our duel.

Kirinmaru?

Rin, you need to hide
within the Tree of Ages!

-Rin.
-Huh?

Watch me from that spot.

What?

Don't back away.

I won't!

NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW

We'll stop the Grim Butterfly's movements!

Lady Kagome and Brother's barrier,
will it work?

This is the world that Rion,
our king, wanted.

-Rion!
-Rion!

Look for the thread connected to her!

You have something
you want to say to Lady Towa, right?

Miss Rion!

Next on Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon:
"The Grim Butterfly of Despair"

Have faith in me, Rion! I will save you!
