01x14 - Thousand Demon Night March

[bunniefuu]

A dragon.

A dragon is coming.

A dragon...

A band of Katawara thieves?

Who'd have thought
the Katawara could organize like that?

And when was this?

Soon after the rumored destruction of
the Dangaishuu's head temple, perhaps?

Sounds like a group of small-fries to me.

Hey, Senya. You're finally up?

What?

Don't play dumb. I'm talking about you.

Senya?

Wait a minute. You're telling me
you don't even know who you are?

Who... I am?

Hey. Do you know who I am?

No.

Do you remember what happened?

Nothing. Myself, you, this place, nothing.

I think I know what this is.

Amnesia.

I'm Shinsuke Hyoudou, a wandering samurai.

-And this is...
-Call me Furukoke.

I'm a Katawara,
but I'm not really a guardian,

and merely live here in peace
with the villagers.

And your name is Senya!

Senya?

Well then...

Where do I start?

Are you okay, Shinsuke?

No, I'm not okay!

This decision is too difficult!

Alright! Got it!

I won't tell you anything!

What? Are you sure?

Yes. He's perfectly forgotten
every last detail.

This is a sign from the heavens
to start life anew.

What...

His life? He's just a kid...

Exactly, Furukoke.

His new life begins now.

But first...

Go play outside and make some friends!

Don't come home until you do.

What's with that guy?

Play? Make friends? How?

Who exactly are you two?

I'll tell you soon.

It's so big.

Um, excuse me...

You're awake.

Awake?

I found you and told Furukoke.

Yes.

Come this way.

It was here.

Don't you remember?

You... fell from the sky.

I fell...?

My name is Tsukiko. What's yours?

I'm...

What is it? What's wrong?

I feel like I should be more formal...

Why? Are you from a wealthy family?

I think you should speak
any way you want to.

Oh... well then... I'm...

Senya...

I see. Senya.

I'm...

I'm...

I'm Senya!

Yes, I heard.

I'm Tsukiko.

Senya.

Tsukiko.

-Senya!
-Tsukiko!

You're a strange one.

Hey, Tsukiko! Let's play
after you finish gathering wood!

Oh? Who's that guy?

I'm Senya!

Wow...

What a weirdo.

Whatever, let's play sword fight!

-Ow...
-Ouch...

That hurt.

S-Senya, try me next.

Don't be fooled!
Tsukiko is the strongest in the village!

He jumped!

Whoa!

Way to go, Tsukiko!

It's amazing how high you can jump.

-Bye!
-See you next time.

See you again.

Welcome back!

Welcome back.

R-Right.

I'm... back.

Were you surprised to find
a Katawara in the village?

This village is friendly to the Katawara.

It sure is a great village.

The booze is great too.

So, were you able to play?

Y-Yeah.

Friends...

Play...

Sword fight...

Tsukiko...

That was fun.

I can't remember
anything before yesterday.

So I started today. I was born today.

Today...

Voices...

Senya!

We've been relinquished
by the dragon at last!

Now is the time to become
King of the Katawara!

Remember!

We're invincible!

Invincible...

A party! A celebration!

Senya?!

Ouch...

What is this?

They took me away
while everyone was sleeping.

Are we going to be eaten?

I never thought us Katawara
could form a band of thieves!

The first step to establishing
our own Katawara Nation!

Katawara Nation?

Well then, how about a bite to eat?

No, please!

I'm not scared at all. But why?

You look tasty!

Demon-slaying sword!

Shinsuke Hyoudou...

is here!

He's so cool!

I don't know about this
"band of thieves" business,

but any Katawara
trying to kidnap and eat humans

won't escape my demon-slaying sword...

When we went to snatch the kids
this guy was passed out drunk.

I'm the strongest sword fighter
out of all of us.

I have to protect everyone.

I... I...

You fool! That's a demon sword!

Fight me!

Stay out of this!

I came here so you kids can just be kids!

So that you kids don't have to fight!

I see! Shinsuke came here
so I wouldn't have to fight.

That means...

I have...

the power to fight!

Isn't that right?

The one thousand Katawara
that I saw inside me in my dream.

Let's do it, Katawara Bandits!

Let's show them the power of Hyakkiyakou!

Hyakkigattai!

Senya!

Do you remember now, Senya?

The army of a thousand within!

Sound the celebratory cannons
of awakening!

Special technique!

Senkiyakou!

I...

...was born today!

Hey! Where are you?

Tsukiko! Tsukiko!

We're saved.

Dad... Dad!

-Dad...
-Dad!

Are you okay?

You just vanished. I was so worried!

I know.

Senya.

Go and prepare for a journey.

Journey?

Yes.

Unfortunately...

We can't stay here.

Senya!

Thanks for saving us.

I forgot to say thank you.

Your arm is amazing!

Let's play again, okay?

Let's go home.

Come on.

It's not enough! Not enough!

More fighting!

More enemies!

Our strength! We are invincible!

More, more, more!

Invincible...

It's here! Getting closer and closer.

It's here! The Path to Dominance!

The Path to Dominance...

What are you going on about this early?

But I'm just so pitiful...

I couldn't protect the kids
and even made Senya do all the fighting.

I'm pretend to be cool and talk about my
demon-slaying sword, but it's all a front.

Might as well call me
the shabby samurai from now on.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah?

It's you.

Um... Is Senya here?

You took great care of our daughter.

Thank you so much.

Eat to your heart's content.

Onigiri...

Eat up!

Go ahead. It's to thank you for saving me.

Is it good?

It's delicious!

Where did you come from Senya?

Actually, he lost his memories...

His memories?

I see.

Then you can stay in the village
as long as you like!

This is a peaceful village
where we get along with the Katawara.

If you stay, you can take
Tsukiko as your wife!

Dad!

What are you saying?

Sorry my dad said all that weird stuff...

I-It's okay.

But...

I sure would be happy
if you decided to stay here.

I can't recall how I lived
or what I was doing before,

and this hand of mine is a mystery.

I want to stay here too!

Really?

Yes. If you'll let me.

Dark, so dark. Where did the light go?

The work of the flying rabbit perhaps?

What a beautiful story it is.

Cat-dragonfly and dog-dragonfly,
crawling across the sky.

Who is that?

From yesterday...

What is this place?

Hey, don't make a mess!

Curse you, you wasabi potato.

But for your magnificent interference...

I commend thee.

Gosaku!

What happened?

Senya!

Such slowness... I can't grasp it...

Enemy! It's an enemy!

The God of Soil! A Crazed God!

The God of Soil...

Let's defeat him!

God-k*lling! The first step to Dominance!

How many? How many of you are there?

Do not fear us! For we're...

...invincible!

Senya...

Tsukiko!

Dad!

You must get out of here.

But, Senya is...

Oh? Three-hundred, four-hundred...

So many, so many.

I can't keep up...

I won't lose. I'm invincible.

I'm invincible!

You bug, bug, bug...!

Senya!

Hurry!

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad...

Now, what am I...

Yes, I was searching?

I've been searching.

No good, but I still have a chance.

Arabuki!

I'm getting dizzy...

Curse you, you tattered group of five!

A group of five?

The Jewel of a Thousand Wonders...

Jewel of a Thousand Wonders...
I must find it...

The Jewel of a Thousand Wonders? Is that...

Special technique!

Senkiyakou!

It was deflected?

Rapid Fire!

Senkiyakou!

Are you okay?

Forgive me.

Thank you for stopping me.

It seems as though I lost my mind.

Beware... the five...

We did it! We defeated him!

We've defeated the God of Soil!

Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!

Dad! Wake up!

Dad!

He's sound asleep.

He used two of those big attacks.

What was a Crazed God
doing in this village?

I'm not sure, but I think it's our fault.

Just who are you guys?

We're searching for a fox.

A divine beast...

The Thousand-tailed Fox.

Thousand-tailed... Fox.

In any case...

We'll be leaving tomorrow.
We can't cause any more trouble.

I can't say I understand it all,

but no one would put the blame on you.

Yes, I know.

I'm the one trying to find
the Thousand-tailed Fox.

I thought about leaving Senya behind.

But...

I think what the Crazed God
was searching for was...

Senya.

I see.
Well, care for a little competition?

Competition?

A drinking competition.

If I win, you two stay here
as protectors of the village.

And if I win?

You can take this with you
on your journey.

Take care!

Thank you, Furukoke.

We owe you.

Until next time.

Sorry we had to leave so soon.

Do you want to see your friends?

Senya!

Furukoke told us. You're leaving right?

I'll lend this to you!

Bring it back someday, got it?

Thanks for protecting the village!

See you again!

A stone cat.

They thanked me.

Yeah.

They said, "See you again."

Is that right?

All of this...

All of this... All of it...

It's all my fault...

All of this is because of me...

You're wrong.

It's because of me!

No, it's not.

What's that?

Tsukiko.

Shi...

Shinsuke Sensei!

Sensei?

Please take me as your disciple!
