The time has come for the beautiful Princess Kaguya, who made the descent to Earth,
to embark on the journey back to the moon!
Appearing as a beast, the princess asked for help from her loyal servant Tetsuju.
And together, they finally located her lost sky vessel, a giant Ascending Dragon!
However, another Princess Kaguya showed up with Seikichi Tamaya
and some other guys I've never seen bef--
Hm? What happened here?
What's --?!
Stupid piece of junk! Hey!
At any rate, it was finally time for Tetsuju the Human Fuse to play a major role!
Unfortunately, the story could not move forward with Tetsuju still hogging the spotlight,
so he was to be forcibly exited from the scene forthwith.
Hm?
What the hell's this...?
Whoa! Hold on! Hey...!
Tetsuju!
Since it's him, I'm sure he'll be fine!
I have no proof, though.
What the hell is that?
It's similar, huh? Looks like the other vessel the sky beasts came in.
Yeah, it is very similar.
But the thing is, it's much bigger than the ones the fugitive and I came in.
Huh? Hold on, Sora!
Does that mean you could use this to could get back to the moon?!

So that's what the blue beast... that's what your woman was lookin' for?!
No. It was the other beast who split off from her.
Well, that's just how she works.
But you're tryin' to help her escape in that ship?!
I'm going too, of course.
What're you talkin' about?!
It makes sense, doesn't it?
There's no place I can go now, in Edo or anywhere else in Japan.
With these hands, I drained the blood of other people for her sake.
Hatchobori...!
Don't get the wrong idea-- I don't regret it one bit.
I actually found it quite exhilarating.
Are you serious?
I'm dead serious.
I'm not a man who would lie!
Ginjiro... it's really true there's nothing in the world you can't open, huh?
Wh...What do you mean by that?
What I mean is, you managed to unlock the shackles to my desires.
A most impressive feat.
My entire life, all I ever did was lie to myself about everything.
"My job matters"... " Family matters"... "Tokugawa interests matter"...!
Those things are all a complete load of crap.
What I really wanted was to do something real.
What do you mean by... " real"...?
I mean if it's for the woman I love...
...then I'm capable of anything!
So Ginjiro... what about you?
Tell me... can't you open the shackles to your own desires?
It's the reason why all you ever do is lie to yourself.
The truth is, you love that girl.
You love Sora!
Sora ain't even a human being!
What difference does that make?
Things're goin' good between her and Seikichi!
I just think, they're both young, so--
You're a liar!
Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar!
Which is why you lose when you go against me.
That thing... it's tryin' to get in, ain't it?!
Seikichi, you wait here!
But Sora...!
I said this is my responsibility!
What? Captain Bellybutton's hurt...?!
I hear his voice... it's definitely Captain Bellybutton.
I say let him die! Who cares about a traitor like him.
The important thing right now is, we can't let her get away.
I agree. I don't relish the thought of a piece of myself flying off somewhere without me.
You may as well give up.
I wanna go back...
I just wanna go back...!
Back to the sky... all I wanna do is go back...!
I wanna go back...!
Sora... don't go...
Don't go!
We're so happy you're all in one piece, Captain Bellybutton!
And I, Heels...!
I, Ankles...!
I, Knees, carried you back here!
You guys...
I was... I was deceiving you guys the whole time.
Even though... I knew that girl was a sky beast...
You deceived us... but we wasn't the only ones you was deceivin'.
To bring your fever down.
Seikichi...
For a fireworks maker, injuries come with the job.
So he said he knew for sure there'd be some medicine in this cabin.
That's why he told us to bring you here, Captain Bellybutton.
When I thought about it, I realized that when you saw Sora's beast form,
you didn't distrust her one bit, unlike me... which maybe makes you the better man.
I still hate to admit it.
No...
But I'm askin' you, please don't lie to me no more!
Never again!
Okay.
Now then, the medicine.
Yeah, I dunno. The smell's a little--
--Arms! --Yo!
Let's get it started!
--Guz-zle it all down! Fix it all right now! --No, I can't ! I can't ! I can't ! I can't ! I can't ! I'm tellin' you, I can't ...!
Guz-zle it all down! Fix it all right now!
"This chant is intended solely as a demonstration of support for peasant uprisings, and under no circumstances should it be construed as an attempt to force people to drink against their will!" Guz-zle it all down! Fix it all right now!
"This chant is intended solely as a demonstration of support for peasant uprisings, and under no circumstances should it be construed as an attempt to force people to drink against their will!"
Yeah! Woo-hoo! All right!
We ain't got time for messin' around like this! Where's Akai?!
The Hatchobori and the woman ain't here yet.
So we're takin' out the other beast before they get here!
Akai's already here!
Goddamnit...!
I wanna go back...
I just... wanna go back...
I was wondering why you split again, even though your body wasn't fully recovered yet.
So this is why?
Yes-- it suddenly split off all by itself.
So you committed that crime again?
Akai...!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeere....
...goooooooooooooes!
Leave this one to me to take care of.
Quick, hurry and absorb the other one!
Eh...?
What's wrong?! If you don't rejoin with it, you won't regain your original powe--!
That's it... isn't it?
What should I do?
Come to think of it, one of you guys is missin'.
Eyes might've gone on ahead to face them on his own.
Wants to claim all the credit, huh?
Uh, hey... I'm havin' some second thoughts...
Here we go!
Men in Black!
One shot of...
...fighting power!
Hatchobori!
Shit...!
What's he trying to do now?!
He's tryin' to fly outta here, just the two of them.
What the hell's that Hatchobori asshole thinkin' !
That thing's a bloodsuckin' monster, ain't it?!
Is he doin' what she tells him 'cuz he's bein' threatened...?!
Ain't no way I'm lettin' 'em get away with this!
Whoa-ho... so this is the inside of a fava bean, huh?
Let's look for the Hatchobori!
Aren't we there yet?
Nothing seems to be broken. We should be able to take off right away.
That's perfect for us.
The people who came here in this ship must've been some distant ancestors of ours.
So why didn't they try to get back home...?
Oh, I see.
What is it?
Nothing.
This is where we pilot the ship.
Hurry and get it moving.
I'll stand here... and guard the rear.
Hey... what kindsa bad things did that woman do on your planet, anyway?
It's obvious, man-- she killed some people and ate 'em!
That kind of thing isn't a very serious crime.
Eh?!
Absorbing the life energy of indigenous lifeforms is something we certainly frown upon...
...but that sort of crime doesn't warrant permanent incarceration.
Her crime was much more serious.
What she did was split her consciousness in two.
Split her... consciousness...?!
Lemme explain.
For example, let's say that Seikichi's in love with Ginjiro.
What kinda example's that?!
But then, suppose that Seikichi also hates Ginjiro.
Huh?
As the rift grows deeper and deeper...
...there's one Seikichi who loves Ginjiro, and then another Seikichi who hates Ginjiro...
...and the two of them split off into different bodies.
That's what it means to split your consciousness.
Wha...? I don't really get it. How come that's s'posed to be a crime?
The same kinda thing happens with us, you know.
Where one part of us feels one way, or our feelings go back and forth about something.
Well, but that's a crime for us.
And even now, she's still committing the same crime.
You guys just don't know when to quit, do you?
Hatchobori! You were tricked by that beast into--
This is gonna be fun!
Seikichi!
He ain't gettin' me this time!
I pulled these puppies from Tetsuju's work shed!
How come you did all those things?!
Because I fell for her. I fell for the girl.
But she's a damn beast!
That's what I like.
Damn it all...!
Eyes!
Hurry and get outta here.
What's goin' on here, Eyes?!
Aren't you supposed to have it in for Akai and the girl?!
Yeah, 'cuz of this here.
But when I sat down and really thought about it...
I realized what was gonna happen to us if we actually caught 'em.
We'll be discharged... from the Men in Black.
And that means goin' back to my borin'-ass life-- no thanks, brother.
I'm a Man in Black! I wanna keep doin' this crazy shit forever!
Chasin' after criminals and guys we don't like for whatever reason...!
You're...!
So that's why... I decided to let 'em go!
We gotta get Akai!
Hurry up! Hurry and get this ship in the air!
Akai...?
I can understand why you feel the way you do, but...
...the jig is up! Akai!
Akai! Run away!
No need to worry. Just leave these guys to me.
It's got the Ascending Dragons!
I'm going home... I'm going home...
Seikichi!
Take this!
Shit!
Hatchobori!
What's that sound?! It's really goddamn loud.
We gotta get out! Seikichi! Ginjiro!
--Huh? --We're getting out!
It's gonna be fine. Your wounds'll heal in no time!
What the hell do I do...?!
Which of these things do I touch to get this damn thing to fly...?!
This ship won't be flying anywhere.
I activated the self-destruct sequence.
"Self"... " destruct"...?
"Self-destructive" ? Like doing S&M on yourself...?
No.
Yeah, I guess not.
By blowing this ship up, I make sure the other girl won't be able to go home either.
Serves her right.
B-But why?! Why would you do something like that?!
Turn it off! Tell me how to turn it off!
But don't you... wanna go back home to the sky...?
This whole time I thought I wanted to go back...
...but something strange happened.
As I was living among these sad little indigenous lifeforms like you
I started feeling like I didn't want to go back after all.
A part of me wanted to...
...and another part of me didn't .
The feelings inside of me split into two halves...
...until eventually...
...my body wound up splitting right along with my feelings.
That other beast is the me who wants to go back to the sky.
And the me sitting here...
...is the you who doesn't ... want to go back.
Go now, Akai.
Why? I'm staying right here.
Even if we can't go to the sky together, this is still a fine ending for us.
Yu.
What do you think of the name "Yu" ?
You mean for my name?
I see there's no " blue" in it.
It means " evening"... and the evening sun sets in the west.
And in the evening, the sun is red: "Akai."
Huh, what's this? Some new kind of sex game...?
No, this is different! Hey! Hey!
Yu!
Yu...!
Yuuuuuuuuuu....!
Yeah...? So I guess you guys all felt the same way, then?
Seikichi!
Sora!
--Captain, sir! --Captain Bellybutton!
So glad you're alive...!
Yeah... thanks, guys.
However much they may have received Lord Mizuno's forgiveness in this matter,
surely it would not do to simply pretend that the sky beast commotion did not take place...?
So, you're determined to punish the Furai Row House gang no matter what?
For example, one hundred lashes.
And while we're on this, there were also those Men in Black guys, weren't there?
Okay, confiscation of all household goods.
And what ever became of Akai...?
All right, fine.
However, Seikichi Tamaya must be punished in some way, even if just for show.
And so with that they put it in the record that Tamaya'd been reckless with fire
and was banished for that reason.
But that punishment's too harsh!
They call it " banishment," but all we actually have to do is leave the town limits.
So we're just moving across the river, that's all.
So then, what's gonna happen to the rocket?
Nothin' to worry 'bout.
It's even been arranged that we can build our own workshop on Ishikawa Island.
It kinda feels like everything worked out a little too well, doesn't it?
Apparently they just want her to get the hell outta here.
And the whole thing has Council Elder Lord Tadakuni Mizuno's seal of approval.
The Great Edo Rocket Project is back up and runnin', everyone!
Woo-hoo!
But Mister Old Man...?
Hm?
You're standing.
Eh?!
What's that? You guys just now realized...?
#No worries at all. #
Yo.
Captain!
Please come out, Captain!
I guess he really up and left us for good this time, huh?
It's a stubborn one, all right... the lock to that man's heart.
Where's Shunpei? I wonder if he still can't find it...
He said leave it to him, but I'm guessin' he probably got lost or somethin'.
Hey Sora...
Your other form... would you mind showin' me again?
You wanna see it here?
You're not scared of me?
Nah, you look kinda cool!
And the rocket... I'm gonna build it for sure!
Hm? I feel like we're forgetting something...
Oh, Princess...

Am I still alive, even?!
