Tatara, a warrior of the Byakko Seven.
Separated for decades from his beloved Suzuno, the Priestess of Byakko…
…he was still possessed by his love for her, even to his death.
In seeing them both embrace from across time…
…Keisuke saw the image of his younger sister, the Lady Miaka, and Tamahome.
To give up one’s life defending their priestess…
…is the destiny of a Celestial Warrior.
And now a cruel twist of fate…
…causes that shadow to fall upon Chiriko…
This body is so poorly defended!
I, Miboshi, shall take it as my own!
Chiriko?!
YOU’RE Miboshi?! What’s going on here?! Miboshi was just…!
Now that the temple master’s body is dead…
…I have no further need of it.
In mastering the many evil spells I know…
…I had to give up my body.
And now I live on by simply taking whatever body I fancy.
Children are especially easy to enter.
He may be a kid, but Chiriko’s smart!
He isn’t some weak-willed child you can just possess!
His character mark’s disappeared.
If we don’t do something, he’ll do whatever he wants to Chiriko!
I don’t like where this is headed…
Yes. Until Lady Yui summons Seiryu, you can play with my demon beasts!
It’s too dangerous to leave this barrier, you know?!
And if we’re not careful when we fight…
…we could end up killing Chiriko!
What do we do? We have to get Chiriko back to normal…
…before we stop Yui from summoning Seiryu.
Miaka!
Quit it! What’s the big idea?! Everyone’ll see my underpants!
MIAKA!!!
Footsteps… I hear footsteps moving away from me.
Yui… Please come back! Yui!
Lady Yui?
What’s wrong? We’re nearly to the altar.
Tell me, Nakago, do you love me?
Yes.
You’re very important to me.
Your wishes are my wishes. My dreams…
I have waited a very, very long time for this.
But… You’ve taken such good care of me…
…ever since I came to this world.
Tell me… Don’t you have a wish to make?
It can be anything. I’ll give you one of my three wishes.
I thank you, my lady. Come, let us proceed.
Lady Yui!
Suboshi! When did you get back?
I see you had quite a time using those on Tomo.
The ones we sent out to search for his body found them.
Lady Yui has several things to do before the summoning of Seiryu.
You should assist her as well.
It would be a simple matter for me…
…to use my spells to rip this girl apart in an instant.
But I’d feel sorry for you…
…if I killed your precious priestess so simply.
I have something special planned for her…
You coward! Return Miaka to us!
You must be Tamahome…
You’re as gallant as Nakago said you were.
But this child doesn’t have the will power you do!
Give it up!
MIAKA!!!
Dammit…! Isn’t there somethin’ we can do?!
Subaru, can you cast that spell?
If you can, then cast it on me!
What are you saying?!
It would age you within like it did Tatara!
It could kill you!
Do we abandon them, then?!
With this old body of mine… I can’t use my powers!
If we don’t use the spell now, then when?!
He looks like he’s sleeping peacefully.
Yeah.
May I join you in doing this?
Heh… You wouldn’t listen if I tried to stop you, would you?
Stop it!
Chiriko… Can you hear me?
Chiriko, please… Hear my voice.
Silence!
Chiriko…! Chiriko…!
My head feels like it’s coming apart…!
Where did you come from?!
I was here already!
To be simple, what you just saw was called teleportation.
It’s the specialty of Tokaki of the Byakko Seven!
Master?!!
Man, you sure are a lotta trouble for a student!
Miaka!
It’s all right. I’ll heal her wounds right now.
Hey, Pops! Why’d you suddenly get so young?
Do you just keep the old face as a cover?
Of course not!
I used a spell to return our bodies to what they were 90 years ago.
Dear, you’re so sexy!
Leave this to me.
Om nikawate-tara wasuni Miaka!
Meat bun!
I returned your body to how it was yesterday. Can you talk now?
You’re the only one who can stop the Priestess of Seiryu now.
For the sake of we of the Byakko Seven…
…and for the sake of Tatara, who gave his life, you must stop her!
Subaru…
I won’t let you! I’ll kill you all right now!
He’s summoning a demon beast! The highest-level one…
Suboshi… Isn’t this building shaking a little?
It’s all right. The Suzaku Seven will never get here.
It’s almost time to summon Seiryu, isn’t it?
Yes…
I’m sort of shocked about it. It’s really happening.
The truth is…
For a while now, I’ve been a little scared.
It’s all right, Lady Yui.
I’ll stay with you until you regain your courage.
What I fear is myself…
That I may be about to make a fatal mistake…
But… I guess it’s too late now.
What the hell was that?!
What happened to Chiriko?!
Run for it!
— Chiriko! — Chiriko, no!
Chiriko! Snap out of it!
— Chiriko! — Chiriko! Wake up!
— Chiriko! — Chiriko!
Chiriko! Try to remember!
Miaka!
It’s over.
Chiriko, stop it!
Chiriko…
Tasuki… Please… Do it…
Please… Use your fire on me!
What are you…?
Hurry! If you don’t, then he’ll…!
He’ll start attacking you all again!
You’re talkin’ crazy!
There’s no way I can do that!
There’s no way this little brat can resist me!
Chiriko!
Chiriko, stop it!
You little child…!
I don’t… want to lose to him…!
Even without my mark…!
I AM ONE OF THE SUZAKU SEVEN!!!
Chiriko!
You little brat! What are you doing?!
I won’t… let you go anywhere! You’re going to die with me!
L-Let me go! I can’t be beaten by a child…!
Chiriko…
Right! I’ll heal the wound right now!
You can’t! If you do, you’ll heal this thing inside of me, too…
Chiriko! But, you’ll die!
It’s all right. Just leave me be…
Forgive me… I wasn’t… much help, was I?
What are you talking about?!
By doing this, you saved us all, didn’t you?!
Yeah! You aren’t weak OR useless!
Miaka… Hurry and go, please!
You have to stop the Priestess of Seiryu…
But…
You must go. Do you want this boy’s sacrifice to be for nothing?
Please go! Miaka…
Lady Yui, come to the altar.
Miaka…
The time has come. The time has come to summon Seiryu.
Tasuki… Mitsukake…
Forget me and go, please…
You’ll be lonely by yourself. We’ll stay a little longer.
The scroll Taiitsukun gave me…!
Use it in my place!
Tell everyone…!
You really are such a strong guy!
I’ve never seen a guy as brave as you…!
Tell everyone… thank you!
Chiriko…
CHIRIKO!!!
Yui… If you summon Seiryu…
…then you and I may never be friends again!
Dammit! Which way’s the room with the hall for the ceremony?!
A reckless move could be dangerous, you know?!
I won’t let you get to Lady Yui so easily.
Soi!
I don’t personally hate you, but I’m doing all of this for him.
For Nakago, I’d sell my body to the devil himself!.
Master!
I’ll hold her off here! You guys, get going!
Let’s go!
Wait!
Oh, no! Can’t let you go any further!
Why is my heart so confused?
It’s as though someone inside is telling me to stop this.
Even though I can finally have my revenge on Miaka…
Will this really lead us to the roof?
I think so, you know?
Chichiri!
That hurt, you know…?
He took the brunt of my life force and instantly dispersed it…
I’m impressed.
Doing that would have killed an ordinary spell-caster.
Nakago!
Get out of our way! We have to stop Yui!
I wanted to thank you first.
Thank us?
I’ve taken a great deal of pleasure in playing with you all.
Tell me, Tamahome, did you ever wonder…
…why Suboshi killed your family in such a cold-hearted way?
The very cruelty of the act made us unforgivable, didn’t it?
If the Priestess of Suzaku hadn’t acted with that feeling in her heart…
…then neither would have Lady Yui.
And then time after time, you all behaved as I expected you would.
As did the other members of the Seiryu Seven.
Lady Yui only needs me.
We only get three wishes, after all.
I am truly grateful to you.
Because, thanks to your efforts, we can now summon Seiryu.
To hell with you!
By the way, the Priestess of Suzaku’s lips were so very, very soft…
Why don’t I show you exactly how I kissed her?
Tamahome!
You people are so easy to bait.
So long as you show me these weaknesses, you will never defeat me.
Remember this: He who is controlled by emotions is a fool.
Hold it…
Why are you fighting for Kutou in the first place?
The color of your hair and eyes…
14 years ago, Kutou destroyed a lot in its expansion…
…including all of the Hin tribe!
If you’re a survivor of that massacre…
…then why are you with Kutou?! What do you want from Seiryu?!
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
The ceremony is beginning, so if you’ll excuse me…
Miaka!
Yui’s on the other side of this door!
Yui!
Nobody’s here…
What’s going on? This is the roof, right?!
Look over there!
Yui!
That son of a bitch tricked us!
Yui! Don’t! Don’t summon Seiryu!
Seiryu! Alight from heaven and appear before us!
What’s that…?!
When Seiryu appears and an evil power is reawakened…
…the Lady Miaka loses her powers as a priestess…
…as well as the Lady Yui.
The battle becomes a muddy stream which steals away love and hope…
…and it is about to cast a shadow across heaven and earth.
Next time, “Divergent Light.”
These feelings alone I will always have…
