Well, everyone?
A strange monster that makes Chouka tremble every night.
It certainly tickles your curiosity, does it not?
It seems Dakki has overstepped the line that must never be crossed.
I must go, not as the War Minister of Seiki,
but as the one who was entrusted with Project Soul Hunt.
I have already spoken with Bunchu.
I understand.
We will hold the entire army in readiness until you return.
I will leave Youzen, Nataku, and Raishinshi here with you.
Bunchu...
Highness?
Does this mean that you and I just stood by and let my brother die?
Yes.
You and I will forever be burdened by that fact.
We will.
You're pretty good at this, Tenka.
I might not look it, but I drove one around a bit at Mount Kunlun.
But Old Man, that monster...
Don't say it. It still isn't certain if it is.
Yin
Majesty...
Majesty,
from this day forth, the people will refer to you as "Majesty".
You must behave more openly and grandly.
You are right, Bunchu.
Please go.
The people are crowding to see a glimpse of their new emperor.
Can you not hear them?
Bunchu...
Majesty.
We have awaited this moment for a long time.
Hang on, Old Man.
Tenka, can't you go more quietly?
You okay, Old Man?
Yeah, I'm all right. But...
Come to think of it...
There's no one around?
What happened to the people who live here?
Master, are they... All?
Hey, wake up! Hey!
Old Man, it's no use.
What in the world happened while we were gone?
Is Father in there?
What's this smell?
Hey, something smells good.
My, my, Bunchu.
I'm sorry we didn't come out to greet you sooner.
Kou Hiko too! Long time no see.
Oh my, His Highness is with you as well.
And you're all grown-up now. I almost didn't recognize you.
So you are Dakki!
Taking up residence in the Inner Palace, bewitching the emperor,
and letting demon immortals become parasites of the Human World.
My final enemy.
You are...
Oh, you're the Taikoubou that I've heard so much about.
Splendid!
I've been looking forward to meeting you.
So have I.
If I kill you, Project Soul Hunt is as good as finished.
Without their leader,
the demon immortals will be expelled from Earth,
and a world with only humans will arise.
Oh, but what if the tables are turned?
In either case, we must settle this once and for all.
Where is my father?! Where is he?!
Answer me!
I am not the Yinhong of old! If we kill them now,
we can still save this country!
Your Highness, please allow me.
Everyone, step back!
You had better not get caught in the middle of this!
Amazing...
Awesome power, as always.
What have you done with His Majesty?! Answer me!
What in the world is happening?
That's the Bankohan!
Bankohan? But it can't be...
How do you like the feel of one hundred gravities, Bunchu?
Can you even take one step in there?
Bitch, where did you get that?
I'm welcoming the great Lord Chancellor of Yin, Bunchu.
I had better have something good prepared to entertain you with.
The Bankohan is a Paopei that manipulates gravity.
Dakki can even use things like that?
No, that's...
A prince may be about to be born!
I will not have the nation stained in blood at a time like this!
But you didn't have to go on an inspection of the border!
If you have time to yell at me, run!
What did you say?!
Now look what you've done!
Yin
Majesty, please don't...
He is fine.
Majesty!
Oh, you two! You will be the first to see!
My first-born prince!
There!
Majesty, you mustn't! It's dangerous!
This is...
Nobody breathe it!
How do you like it?
It's my Shiju Hagoromo's powder, made from a poisonous moth.
Breathe it into the depths of your lungs until your entire body rots.
Hurry! Into the buildings!
Don't let your guard down!
Watch all sides!
There's powder here too!
This powder isn't just poisonous.
It also burns really easily.
See?
Damn!
Are you all right, Master Taikoubou?
Yes. Where is everyone else?!
I don't know.
This is pitiful, all we can do is take care of ourselves.
Hippo...
Master, where are you?!
If you're alive, I hope you'll answer me!
Mister, you're Kibi's type! Kibi will take you alive!
Come and get me if you can!
What?!
A transformation spell? But you can't win with borrowed powers.
My kung fu makes up the difference.
What?!
The power of my sword is losing!
Take that!
The Nyoi Hagoromo is a transformation Paopei.
It can copy any Paopei that it's blocked.
And it becomes stronger by the power of Kibi's kung fu.
You have certainly turned this country into a ruin!
You must have enjoyed it a great deal.
I will take care of you myself, if it is the last thing I do!
The highest output of the Bankohan is one thousand gravities.
I wonder how long you'll last?
Besides, Bunchu,
you've been manipulating the Yin from the shadows too,
by educating successive emperors since they were children.
Raising a new emperor
and using him as a tool for your own pleasures
cannot possibly be the same!
Do you really think so?
Well, either way, don't you think humans have no choice,
but to act exactly as the immortals wish?
No!
As I thought,
there is no way you could have complete control of the Bankohan!
There are gaps in your stream of control over the Paopei!
If you continue to push yourself, your bones will be crushed!
Would you care to test that idea?
This is impossible!
Did you know that Hiko takes on thirty soldiers in training?!
He holds the steel staff by his side and swings it like this!
It is dinnertime.
I am sorry, Mother.
But I'm going to become strong like Hiko soon!
If you wish to be strong, you must clean your plate.
I don't want the vegetables. Take it away, please.
Yes, Highness.
You need not take it away.
All the food that is here was grown by the people,
as they plowed their fields and raised cows and pigs.
To slight this food is also to slight the people.
Bring him some water.
Yes, Majesty.
Oh, my.
Prince Yinxiao, here is some water.
Run, run. Will the poison kill you? Or the flames?
Master, where are you?!
You look like you're all right. Can you fly?
Tenka!
Old Man!
You okay?!
Oh, some of his friends are here.
Her Nyoi Hagoromo can copy any Paopei that you attack with!
What?
I don't use any Paopei!
No! Scary man isn't Kibi's type!
You monster!
Sister, shall we stop playing around now?
This room is already full of poisonous powder.
If I unleash a spark, you will all evaporate in a matter of seconds!
This is bad. At this rate, we'll really all be finished.
If your bones are lucky enough to survive, we'll come pick them up.
Kibi will pick yours up, Mister!
Now all I have is the cracked Dashinben.
You are my last hope.
Farewell, Taikoubou.
Master!
Yin
You have served our country well.
And you have done well to guard in my absence.
It will be a while before our borders are threatened again.
It is all thanks to Your Majesty's bold leadership.
And We owe it to the support you have given us.
Yinxiao, Yinhong?
Yes?
Is all as I left it?
Yes!
What is wrong, Yinhong?
He has been like this for a while now.
Yinhong is afraid of your armor that smells of blood.
Prince Yinhong, His Majesty has defeated the enemies
that threaten this country...
Hiko, it is fine.
Do you princes know what it means for the country to thrive?
The country thrives when the people's hearts are at ease.
All can work diligently without fearing harm.
All can obtain provisions without ever starving.
As it all builds up,
wealth is accumulated and the country thrives.
Well? It is simple reason, is it not?
But following that simple reason is difficult.
If Heaven is angered, you calm it with prayers.
If the land is disturbed,
we must take up our swords and fight.
If you fight, you and your enemy will both bleed.
But you see, you cannot allow the people to bleed.
In exchange for the people's hearts to be at ease,
I don a garment of blood.
Thus, successive generations of emperors
have protected this long-lasting peace.
Yin
Zutto sagashite ita onaji hitomi
Onaji yume o idaiteru my friends

On the day of his succession, the young emperor burned with passion
at the joyous cheering of his people,
and his mind raced at the thought of his country's future.
The older brother was born to this world
in order to succeed the will of the Emperor.
The younger brother feared his father's blood-covered armor.
And now comes their final moment between father and son.
