We look the same, but men call us monsters. If we shadows, which lurk between eras, are destined to die, then I shall fall with the cherry blossoms. Then, I shall fall with the cherry blossoms.
Upward?
Yeah. Let's hurry.
Wait, someone's coming.
Now, lie together.
Do it.
Let me see you fornicate like beasts!
That old man?
But that doesn't make sense.
Gorone-san took his arm!
We already knew they weren't normal at all.
Right?
But I have a better way.
Remembrance Must Fade
Gorone, your work isn't over yet.
You think to blind me, after all you've seen of my power?
How boring...
It's no different than the technique you used as a child.
The game is over.
I think it's time you descended into your own hell.
No!
It appears that my butterflies worked.
I'm impressed...
Even at your age, you can still get it up!
You?
You finally understand my allure!
He's dead.
Yeah. Let's hurry.
Little brats...
What will you do, Hachirou?
Why not grant what she longs for?
Make love to her or slay her.
I care not, either way.
Who are these people?
Have you forgotten?
We have taken pity on you,
and brought you here to meet Gennosuke!
No!
He kidnapped you.
Indeed, we went so far as kidnapping to bring you here.
Sneaking you past those who would stand in your love's way.
But still, he refuses to do it.
Even after all that's happened...
You did well back there, girls.
Look! The demon god's right arm is missing!
That damn old man made it so that it lost the arm, not him!
Then, when I stabbed him in the stomach...
You hurt me very badly,
and the demon god is not happy.
Why didn't you just die?
Come down!
This time, I'll send you to hell.
Don't make such a fuss.
Your opponent is behind you...
Shichigen!
Rui, be careful.
Something's wrong.
Yeah.
And that statue...
You.
If you're planning to use a bomb to blow it up,
I will be your guide.
You hurt?
I was careless.
I was stabbed by the man I went to save.
By Suruga-sama?
It was unfortunate.
Did you save him?
I see.
But then, what are you still doing here?
Your job's over, right?
I'm curious.
Well,
I am a ninja, too...
So I want to see how this ends.
How it ends?
Let us go.
Wait!
Use it.
It will dull the pain.
Thank you.
If you manage to save both leaders...
You'll remember me, I'm sure.
But I won't, if you die.
Then I can't die, no matter what, right?
People like you never die.
It doesn't make me happy,
but it may be better than making me sad.
What did you do to Shichigen?!
He said he wanted to meet his mother,
so I granted his wish.
His mother?
Fascinating, yes...
I helped him a bit, and that which he wanted to see appeared.
It seems, for him, a remembrance of his mother is within.
His mother was a lustful woman who would sell her own body,
and he sees her in the goddess Kannon...
What nonsense!
You would mock his mother, Neirichiou?!
Does that anger you?
Scary!
But now isn't the time, is it?
Rui!
I'm going to enjoy this.
The Kouga and Iga were always enemies.
It seems much more natural for them to fight than to be friends.
Stop it...
Stay away, Shichigen!
What's wrong?
Didn't you use your butterflies?
It won't work on him. Not now...
Joujin, I think I know why I...
why Hibiki and I were given that power.
To defeat people
who only see the blood that flows within our veins as a tool!
Are you referring to us?
Your friends were no different.
No!
Gei'in and the rest knew this blood's burden...
The burden of the lost lives that flow within it!
Didn't you run because you couldn't bear that burden?
That's right.
And that's why
I'm willing to use Ouka, without hesitation, to defeat you here!
Fascinating...
But the Ouka belongs to both you and Hibiki.
Can you use it?
That is Oboro.
If Hibiki has Oboro's mind now,
then I'll place my bet on her feelings for Gennosuke.
Oboro's true feelings for Gennosuke.
Oboro...
Gennosuke-sama,
you finally said my name.
Oboro.
Gennosuke-sama...
Look at me, Oboro.
Stare into my eyes.
With my body and soul,
I'll return the feelings that your eyes communicate.
You must do the same.
The time has come for our feelings to become one.
Oboro!
Hibiki...
Oboro!
Hibiki...
My... My name is...
Utsutsu, that statue of Kannon...
That statue...
Are they connected, just like that monster and the old man?
Rui!
Mother...
Rui, what are you doing?!
Shichigen.
Idiot...
Do you intend to pretend to be his mother?
And then wake him up?
You make me laugh!
It's me, Shichigen.
Now, touch your mother's breasts.
Your techniques won't work on him now.
What?
What's happening?
Come here.
Wait, Shichigen!
That isn't your mother.
That's a fake... No.
That is your mother.
That indecent woman is none other than your mother.
Kill her.
Kill her!
That's right.
Kill the mother you hate.
Kill her!
Kill the remembrance of your mother who betrayed you.
Shichigen...
You still cannot forgive... your mother?
I never...
hated my mother...
And my mother... never betrayed me.
But...
I was just so young.
So young.
I couldn't forgive her.
And I couldn't forgive myself for not forgiving her...
That's why you stabbed your own heart, yes?
What?
Wha—
You can no longer bear my wounds?
Thank you for everything,
demon god...
