Sakimitama, Kushimitama, please protect us.
TL Note: In the Shinto religion, Sakimitama is the portion of the soul that deals with blessings while Kushimitama deals with auspiciousness.

THE FIRST
THE DESTINED TWO
Mum, what is this?
Is it dead?
Don't be concerned about it.
Are you being chased?
Ah. Yes!
Eh. Wai... Wait!
Please save me!
Why should I?
This has...
This has nothing to do with you,
but it's unfortunate that you've seen this woman.
Now you're going to die.
All witnesses must be killed?
How lame.
What?
Don't make a fuss.
You'll bite your tongue.
Om. Marici Sowaka!
TL Note: Om is the Buddhist sacred syllable, while Marici Sowaka is the Sanskrit spelling of the Marishi-ten, the goddess of light.
Marishi-ten... You're...
With that level of strength, do you think you can really fight without hurting anyone?
Don't hold back!
Secret Technique: Flipping the Heavens
If I had let go of you, you would have become a target.
Um...
Geez... I'm starving and I still ended up wasting energy on that...
Wait!
If you're this strong,
protecting a woman should be a piece of cake, right?
I don't know if I'll be chased by thugs like them again,
so please come with me!
I don't want to.
What's this?
If you're a man, don't you think you should save me?
You're heartless!
You're annoying!
Didn't I just save you?
Not a word of thanks, and now you call me heartless!
Thanks?
That's true...
Well then... Why don't you come with me to Shinshuu Ueda?
I didn't hear any thanks in that, either.
How about I treat you to soba?
You're hungry, aren't you?
R E S T I N G P L A C E
You sure ate a lot...
No leftovers?
Thanks for the meal!
That was good...
Hm?
Are you full?
You don't eat much.
You just eat a lot.
Stop calling me "you".
TL Note: He's been calling her "temee" all this while, which is the rudest form of the word "you" in the Japanese language.
My name is Isanami.
What's your name?
What do you do?
Saizou.
Samurai.
Saizou?
Then how about Sai-chan?
I'll kill you, bitch.
If you're a samurai, whom do you work for?
Mind your own business.
You're a vagabond, huh?
That would explain why you're poor and attracted to soba.
Good morning!
You...
Good morning!
Isanami.
Hey, um...
Thanks for before.
Oh, you finally said it!
Ah...
How many days has it been since I've been able to relax like this?
Saizou will definitely stay by my side.
It's true!
At first, I thought it would be impossible,
since it seemed like Saizou didn't want to get involved with me...
But when Saizou carried me over his shoulder,
I thought, "If it's this person, I'll be fine."
And then, for some reason, I felt relieved.
"He'll definitely save me," I thought...
Don't go deciding that on your own.
I simply didn't want to end up dying in vain.
But you could have just abandoned me.
I only saved you because you would have made a racket otherwise.
Saizou, you're a good person.
If you're done eating, let's get out of here.
Ah, wait... Oba-san, I'll leave the money here!
All right!
Hey, that looks like it's going to fall off.
Whoops.
It'd be troublesome if it did fall off.
Saizou... Walk slower...
Ueda is just ahead. This is far enough, isn't it?
Try not to get noticed as you walk through the rice fields.
Bye.
Hey, wait!
Just come with me for a bit longer.
I don't know how to get into the castle...
Huh?
By castle, do you mean Ueda Castle?
Yeah.
Don't kid me.
That's way too troublesome.
I can't let you go.
What were you talking about?
This guy...
We're not suspicious!
I'm a priestess from Izumo!
Holy priestess, why are you with this murderer from Iga?
Iga ninjas are... fiends.
Shut up.
You just have more people on your side, you lousy Koga ninjas!
Dogs should hurry back to their kennels!
Go get some bones from your master!
I will never forgive intruders of the Sanada.
Stop breathing your dog breath into my face.
I'm not a dog.
I am Sarutobi Sasuke, leader of the Sanada Shinobi!
You!
What's your name?
Don't get cocky, you Koga monkey.
After making Kirigakure Saizou state his name,
don't even think about returning alive!
Kirigakure?
That's...
I really hate the Koga!
The feeling is mutual.
Well then, you've lost.
Paralysis herbs?
Saizou!
You're weak.
A replacement?
You're making this really fun!
Not bad, monkey.
Damn you, who's your master?
Master?
Don't compare me to yourself.
I really hate things like that!
Wait!
Enough already!
I've come to see Sanada Yukimura!
So this is the impregnable Ueda Castle...
It's unexpectedly... plain.
Being her first time in a castle, I'd thought she'd be screaming about how awesome it is...
It's not something troublesome, is it?
Why did they wake me up?
Young master...
Well, whatever.
You may lift up your heads!
Hey, they weren't bowing.
This man, he is a commander with both ingenuity and spirit.
Sanada Yukimura.
Well, that's fine as well.
He had a bad upbringing...
You're a priestess from Izumo, right?
Well then, how about you over there?
We finally meet!
Please save me!
First, tell me what's going on.
The shrine was engulfed in a sea of fire.
Everything was... red... red...
There were bodies everywhere.
The stench of blood filled the air...
Isanami, hurry up!
But, everyone else is still...
Leave them!
Just run!
Only you... You must live on!
Priest!
Find Shinshuu's Sanada Yukimura.
What about you?!
Sakimitama, Kushimitama, please protect us.
Priest!
I alone got away, but they caught onto my trail.
Had Saizou not saved me, I wouldn't even be here.
What should I do...?
That's a cruel story for a woman who knows nothing of war...
And?
What do you want me to do?
What...?
The priest asked me to go to you!
Even if he did, I have no interest in helping you get revenge.
That's not it!
You're being hunted, aren't you?
Don't involve me in this.
I don't want to poke my nose into such dangerous business.
Sorry, but there's nothing I can do for you.
That's...
Well, it's not like I'm a demon.
You may stay the night.
Rokurou, have someone prepare a room!
Yes.
Hey!
I'm going, so...
Don't be so sad.
This is what lords are like.
You don't understand!
How do you think I felt running here from Izumo?
Leaving everyone else behind, being the only one...
I'm the only one...
Hey!
Why are you still following me?
Be obedient and stay in the castle!
I wouldn't know what to do tomorrow.
Let's go together!
Saizou is strong...
It must have been fate that we met!
It'll be problematic if you follow me.
Go!
My feet hurt...
I can't walk any more!
I've had it.
I'll just stay here on my own.
If I get eaten by wolves, they'll find my bones, won't they?
Don't misunderstand me.
I'm not the person you think I am.
I won't feel anything if you die right here.
Don't follow me anymore.
S-Saizou!
They hid their presence perfectly!
These guys are stronger than the ones in the afternoon.
That's the monkey's.
The smell of Tanuki!
TL Note: A tanuki is a Japanese raccoon dog.
You must be Ieyasu's underlings.
TL Note: Tokugawa Ieyasu was a prominent warlord from the period, who later became the Shogun of Japan.
Don't use us as bait!
Forgive me, we needed to measure their threat.
But, you're not the kind of guy who would lose to people like that, are you?
Bring it on!
Watch closely then, Sanada Yukimura!
Sarutobi Sasuke!
Secret Technique:
Flash of Light!
Why?
Why did this have to happen to us?
Just what did we do!
How dare you look down on us. Die.
Hey, Isanami.
That technique... What the...
Are you oka-
Saizou.
You really saved me!
Saizou!
Impressive.
The trees withered in an instant.
What the hell happened?
Old man, do you know what's going on?
So... this is their objective.
I don't think we can surrender this to that Tanuki.
Yukimura-sama.
Rest easy.
Sanada will take care of Isanami.
I won't hand you over to them.
Saizou!
Yukimura-sama, Saizou is very useful at times.
Won't you employ him to stay by your side?
You!
What are you trying to do?
This has nothing to do with me!
Let's stay in Ueda together!
Spare me.
I'm tired of being with a woman like you.
Didn't I treat you to soba?
Don't screw with me! That was...
What's this?
You have a debt to a woman?
How disgraceful.
You'll have to repay it... as a man.
It's decided.
Manual labour.
I'm counting on you, Saizou.
Impossible...
I didn't imagine they'd come together like this...
Is this what they call fate?
Rokurou, have you seen anything like it?
That is a power which disregards life and death, and consigns all to oblivion.
However, in order to use that power, we need to control it.
That's something the Tanuki knows as well.
It's about time for it to come to an end.
Then...
Be patient, Rokurou.
We don't have enough numbers.
We need to have ten highly talented fingers on our hands.
And now...
Damn it.
My head is throbbing.
First Sarutobi, now that page...
What's with all these skilled men?
Collecting talents?
I don't believe this lord.
Sanada Yukimura... Just what is he scheming?
It's going to be interesting finding out.
What's this?
That attack...
Don't tell me...
What are you doing? Ow...
Why are you in my futon!
And almost naked to boot!
What does that matter?
Sleeping together is warmer.
That's not...
Food.
Food!
Isanami!
Why are you here?
Food!
Thank you, Sasuke.
Hey, monkey.
You...
We'll get you next time!
Go to hell!
Stop screwing around!
Damn Sanada shinobi!
Ah!
The food...
That was Saizou's food.
Yours is in your room.
Food!
I wonder what we'll have today!
How troublesome...

Hey, monkey.
For your information, I don't have the slightest intention of getting close to you.
I'm straight, you frivolous, effeminate...
Effeminate?
Whom are you talking about?!
Always noisy like an excited girl... Bye.
Sasuke, I need more food.
Starting tomorrow, a large serving for Isanami.
You're a horny bastard, Koga monkey!
