The Third Year of Tensho, Katsuyori Takeda,
who is the present master of the Takeda
who will choose the way of all-out confrontation with Nobunaga Oda.
It has been two years since Hikage started to chase Marou.
Hikage is going toward the West.
However, Hikage has not heard anything related to Marou.
Ninja, aren't you?
There you are, rogue.
Why did you run away after you killed our leader?
No, I didn't do that, Shiranui. It wasn't me!
Don't say anything!
Hey, you! What are you looking at?
Why are you laughing? Hey, do you want to fight?
You, bastard!
You killed our leader to betray us?
No, I didn't!
Betrayer!
Shiranui!
Shiranui, wait for me.
Don't go. It's coming,
Mikawa...
A horse?
It's an illusion.
Shiranui!
Was it you who killed my companions, one by one?
I have something to ask you.
Do you know where the person named Marou is?
A person?
My name is Majumi no Miko. I am the one who controls the seas.
There is another who controls the land.
When we unite, all of the Yoma in the world will be revived.
You already know who Marou really is.
Shut up!
Shiratsuyu!
Lord Miko...
Majumi seems to have been killed by Hikage.
The time to revive the aquatic Yoma will be delayed by this.
I curse the Ninja called Hikage.
Lord Miko, please give me permission to kill Hikage,
on behalf of the terrestrial Yoma.
You have my leave. Kill Hikage.
Yes, My Lord.
I am going back to the East.
I feel that this era of war will be controlled by
by someone from the Mikawa area.
Therefore, I will make the Mikawa area into a living hell.
Oh, it sounds like fun.
Just like a woman. Stop crying.
Not just a woman. I am a Ninja!
Oh...
Kazami?
My name is Aya.
I'll ask somebody to let us stay tonight.
Aya!
Excuse me, hello.
Yes?
We're travelers. Would you let us stay tonight?
A baby?
So cute. Don't you want to hold this baby?.
Head...
The head...
The baby's head...
What the hell?
All of the villagers have died. It's a procession of the dead.
The dead who are still attached to this world.
If this was caused by war, the village would have burned.
I think Yoma did this.
You said you are looking for someone?
What does Marou mean to you?
He tried to kill me.
You're chasing him and intend to kill him?
Damn! Why didn't he wake me up?! Damn!
Are you afraid of me?
Her heart was cut in two.
I was slain by my lover.
Lord Mai! Lord Shiratsuyu!
He killed me.
Why are you still attached to the man who killed you?
I don't know.
I just want to be close to him.
Yoma!
Hikage!
Die, Hikage!
Hikage!
You...
You love that man.
Hikage, are you going to stand by and watch me kill them?
Die!
Hikage, behind you!
Hikage!
You?!
Don't! No! Don't! Stay out!
No way...
I guess her spirit entered the body of that snake.
Even though she is a spirit, even though she possessed a Yoma...
She wants to see the man who loved her.
What?
It's strange.
There are no signs of Yoma around the area.
It looks like they all disappeared.
They might attack to the East, like the Oda forces did.
The Oda have laid waste to the land, and revel in blood.
The Lord of Owari, Nobunaga Oda, aimed to rule the entire country.
He led an expedition to the Mikawa area.
His purpose was to aid Castle Nagashino.
He may be one of the Yoma.
It's been a while, Hikage.
What do you want to tell me?
I have to take your life.
Our lord, Katsuyori Takeda, in order to win against Nobunaga,
ordered us to borrow the power of Yoma.
He ordered me to help, so I went to see Kikuga no Miko.
As I thought, Kikuga no Miko was Marou.
So what?
Marou will help the Takeda under one condition.
Marou said kill me?
For the Takeda! Die, Hikage!
You stopped.
I am a Ninja.
I cannot live like you who ignores the rules.
If ordered to kill, I kill. If ordered to die, I die.
However, I do not want to kill you, even for the Takeda,
but a Yoma is controlling me.
Lord Katsuyori is out of his mind. The Takeda will not last long.
Kazami!
In this year, in the area of Nagashino Mikawa,
the forces of Katsuyori Takeda lost the battle against
the forces of Nobunaga Oda.
Thus, the extinction of the Takeda clan came sooner then expected.
Your death, your blood, tears, anger and despair.
Those are the sources of our power.
Katsuyori, did you really think the Yoma would side with a coward?
Nagashino. You're going there, aren't you?
Marou is waiting for me.
Waiting for you?
Yes, waiting for me.
You've done enough. Don't worry about Marou any more.
If you are going,
please kill me!
Kill me.
If you die...
I...
Don't go, Hikage.
I beg you...
Marou, I have come for you!
Marou!
Why? Why are you Kikuga no Miko?
Marou is not Miko.
Kikuga no Miko was born into this world
by taking the shape of Marou's infant body.
Hikage...
Didn't you have something to ask me?
That scar. Yes, that scar.
You wanted to ask me why I threw a poisoned shuriken at you.
Hikage...
You humans are so simple, especially you Ninja.
Ninja will fight when ordered to, die when ordered to.
The rules constrain you all of your life. Such a stupid way to live.
By breaking my shell as Marou and being revived as Kikuga no Miko,
I transcended my frail humanity.
Transcended humanity?
Therefore, during my trip, I killed a woman whom I loved.
Although I've killed everyone else, I don't want to kill you, Hikage.
That's why my shuriken missed.
I want you to transcend humanity too.
As I thought, you did not truly wish to kill me, did you?
No, I couldn't. Hikage, come to our world.
Hikage!
Don't you want to come with me, Hikage?
I see.
I understand!
Hikage!
I will drink your blood, and hold the world in my hands.
Majumi!
Come, Majumi! Let us unite and change the world!
Aya!
You are the sacrifice to the revival of the Yoma, Hikage!
Hikage, aren't you tired of being just a human?
Hikage!
Yoma were created from your human hatred, fear and prejudice.
The way for humans to overcome their humanity is to become Yoma.
How about it, Hikage? I am going to let you feel your own weakness.
Then, perhaps, you will overcome your humanity.
I will stand aloof from my destiny through living by my own beliefs.
Stop prattling!
Stand aloof from destiny?
The time has come to learn whether or not
you are strong enough to stand aloof from destiny.
Here I come!
Marou!
Hikage...
Marou...
Aya...
You carried me?
Aya...
You cry too much, just like a woman.
Hikage!
Kotone, run!
Marou!
Kotone!
I give my life force to you, so please live as a human next time.
I give my life force to you to allow your rebirth.
Hikage, over there.
A baby.
Poor woman. She used all of her strength to give birth, then died.
There, there...
Being a human is so boring, Hikage.
