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.
Saizou!
I'll handle this.
Utsutsu and Rui, take Shichigen and get inside, now.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Hachisu!
Let's finish this up, quick.
Yeah.
We Must See the Lotus Flowers Together
It isn't fair.
You're going to make me handle the rest?
Just hang on a little.
I'll go put an end to all of this.
Hibiki is no longer herself.
Within her, she carries the heart of Oboro,
who suffered after she fell in love with Kouga Gennosuke.
Damn you, Joujin!
The Gorouza fires multiple rounds at once, and you have two Lotus Root guns?
Last gifts from Gorone-dono.
Stop... Wake up!
Stop it, Hibiki!
My techniques are stopping her from holding back.
Let's go.
If I can reflect it with my Spearing Eye...
If it works, I can break Joujin's technique!
No...
Hibiki may not be able to bear it.
What's wrong, Kouga Hachirou?
Will you try to save your own life by using the Spearing Eye on Iga Hibiki,
and in so doing, intend to kill her?
This is the end.
What are you doing?
Now, come.
You don't need to tell me!
Even with my eyes closed,
I can sense your every movement,
Hibiki...
Curse you!
Hibiki!
Gennosuke-sama...
I've been waiting for you for so long.
What is this place?
This is probably what powers the Murakumo.
I wish Gorone could have seen this.
Right.
Let's hurry.
What about Shikibu and Hachisu?
There's no time to wait.
Indeed... They'll be fine.
They're a good pair.
Yeah.
Hibiki, wake up!
It's me, Hachirou!
I'm not Gennosuke!
No, you are Gennosuke-sama.
We finally... finally meet!
You cannot break my technique so easily.
Hachirou, just be happy that your Spearing Eye
did not cause Hibiki to slit her own throat.
Give it up, Kouga Hachirou.
Joujin-sama's power could never be overcome by the likes of you.
Hibiki, are you no longer...
Will you leap into my Adamantite Tower?
Naubo akyasha kyarabaya.
On ari kyamari bori sowaka!
We'll just have to head upward.
Yeah.
Someone's coming.
I smell a woman.
Shichigen's technique was originally intended to seduce women.
It's coming from the right corridor.
The rest of you, head left.
If it's a woman, it's probably Yasha Itaru.
Watch out for her Destiny's Passage.
I'll avenge Saizou.
No woman can withstand your technique.
Yasha Itaru, in the end, you're a woman, too.
You cannot resist me.
Shichigen.
Mother...
Who's there?
Show yourself!
Is this the work of some monster?
You cannot deceive me.
Show yourself!
Shichigen...
Shichigen.
Shichigen!
Mother?
Shichigen.
Mother!
Good boy...
Now, do as your mother tells you.
Looks like the others went on ahead.
Yeah.
Choose.
Like your brother, you are not good with your hands.
This weapon will be what you entrust with your life.
And you must master it.
I can't keep...
You must not say another word.
When you stop, you die, Hachisu.
Shoulders back. Squeeze the trigger hard.
Like this.
Don't worry.
It takes time to get good.
Don't hold your breath.
Okay!
I did it!
Hachisu, do you like your older brother?
Yeah!
I see.
And do you like your pistol?
Yeah, I do!
Which do you like better, then?
We are ninjas.
A ninja must rank the things they like.
Brother!
I see.
But we aren't the ones who decide the real way things are ranked.
It's already been decided.
Don't let them get away!
Shoot, Hachisu...
Don't worry about me!
Brother!
That is what you chose.
Don't betray your choice!
Shoot!
The whole world comes down to the roll of the dice.
They roll and roll on the mat.
You dream and dream. And at the end,
you will eventually die.
Shikibu, get back!
It's Yasha Itaru.
Don't look into her mirror.
Right.
What?
Shichigen!
Hachisu!
He is my slave now.
A living puppet.
We're as good as done here.
Go after your other comrades.
You!
I have heard of you.
So you die without that armor?
Then, take it off and go to hell.
Let me see you explode without your armor!
You're so ugly, though, monster!
No...
The only monster here is you!
What are you doing?
I'm about...
to change that disgusting destiny... of yours!
You go to hell, too!
My eyes...
I can't see...
You see now?
That is your destiny.
I refuse to believe it.
A destiny like this...
I refuse to believe it!
Impossible...
You were struck by Destiny's Passage.
You just... broke the spell.
You told me not to believe in destiny.
Shikibu...
Decide your own path in life.
Just like I did.
Right...
Brother?
Looks like I've gotta die here...
But I'm happy.
Because I'm not alone.
You're going to explode, along with me!
How crude of you, to interrupt my journey into death...
Don't worry...
Hachisu and I are going to heaven!
You're...
going to...
hell!
Naubo akyasha kyarabaya.
On basara kirikiri sowaka.
Hibiki...
Now, lie together.
Do it.
Let me see you fornicate like beasts!

Kill one another.
The Kouga and the Iga have always been rivals.
It is far more natural for you to kill one another than to be friends.
