Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

1
By the power of the Tree of Ages,
I now return to this world!
What is happening?
-What is
-Sis.
This smell.
Mei!
Oh, how strange.
Sis, what is that?
Could this smell be
-Wha
-Oh, dear.
That's That's
Yes! That unbelievably bright place
from my memories
And this smell!
Setsuna!
DEMON SLAYER - SETSUNA
Wh-Who calls my name?
Damn it. I feel so weak.
BOUNTY HUNTER - MOROHA
Is it because I crossed through
the rainbow corridor?
Wonderful, just wonderful!
The Silver Pearl is here as well.
Now each of my three eyes
will have a pearl!
Setsuna, I'll save you!
No way! My Kikujumonji broke!
"The Dream Butterfly"
No way! My Kikujumonji broke!
Did you say Kikujumonji?
This is obviously a fake.
The blade pattern's completely different!
-But
-Give it to me.
Give me the Silver Pearl!
-Give it to me now!
-My body won't
"Silver" what? What is she talking about?
Give it to me!
How dare you break my Kikujumonji
How dare you do that to Setsuna!
What?
I can't believe it.
She created a demon energy blade
with her own power.
Wait, did I do this?
Hey! What are you doing?
Hurry up and finish her!
-I don't think that's possible
-This is not the time!
Sis!
You see?
If you don't hurry up, they'll get eaten!
-Mei!
-Mei!
It's nothing personal.
Th-Thank you
You saved us. Thank you so much.
No need to thank me.
I'm sorry, Setsuna.
How do you know my name?
Who are you?
You don't remember me, Setsuna?
It's me, Towa. You used to call me Sis.
Ugh, that was horrible.
I can finally move my body now.
Hey, welcome back!
Wait, what is that?
Well, this is kind of nostalgic, isn't it?
Yes. It reminds of the times
Inuyasha would come to visit Kagome.
Hey! Hey, I can keep this, right?
Do as you wish.
All right! But man, what a trip.
Where the heck are we?
This whole place is as bright as day.
Setsuna, I'm sorry.
It's my fault, isn't it?
It's because I let go of you that day
That's why you're acting this way, right?
Setsuna?
I do not know you.
Don't come near me if you value your life.
Take even one step, and
I'll kill you!
What?
-Stop running!
-Hell no!
You look like you're seriously
out to hurt me!
That's because I am!
Hey, cut it out, you two!
And Setsuna, stop acting like a kid.
What's the harm in letting her near you?
-Silence.
-My name's Moroha.
My bounty hunter buddies call me
"Moroha the Demon Killer."
What's your name?
Towa Higurashi.
Towa, huh? Okay, Towa!
Are you really Setsuna's sister?
Of course I am!
I got separated from her
in the forest fire ten years ago!
So she says.
I've been alone since birth.
Oh yeah? But you're both half-demons.
See, I can tell just from
your demon energy.
Isn't that right, half-demon "Setsu"?
Plus, why else would a Rainbow Pearl
dwell inside your eye?
Which makes you a half-demon, too, Towa.
What's a "half-demon"?
A half-demon is someone born
between a demon and a human.
You two share really similar demon energy.
Even if you're the child of a great demon,
having human blood halves your powers.
I'm guessing that's what
bothers Setsu the most.
And if I'm not mistaken, your dad's
the great demon Sesshomaru.
-Is that right?
-What? Who is that?
-Well?
-Don't know. Never met him.
Setsuna is the daughter of Sesshomaru?
So she's a half-demon?
No wonder she's so powerful.
Fourteen years ago
Sesshomaru came here
and took his newborn twins with him.
That was the last I saw of them, until
One day, Setsuna came to me.
She told me that it was
"a rite of courage and cowardice."
I'll be in your care for a while.
"Rite of courage and cowardice"?
A lion is said to push their cubs
into the bottomless ravine,
and raise only the ones strong enough
to crawl back up on their own.
It is known as the
rite of courage and cowardice.
Is that what Sesshomaru
is doing to Setsuna?
Perhaps, though I can't say for certain.
Lord Sesshomaru used to help me a lot
back when I was a kid.
But even then, it was difficult to
understand his true intentions.
You said "twins." That means
there's another child out there?
I wonder.
Being uninformed half-demons,
it's very possible that she may have
already killed the other out of hate.
Oh, no.
If you truly are my older sister,
then prove it to me with your strength.
I don't need to prove anything,
because I'm not wrong!
Empty words. They mean nothing.
-Come on, cut it out already!
-Be quiet.
-You're so stubborn!
-Shut up.
Is that
Yup.
The Hitokon chose its host.
Geez, how pathetic.
This is what happens
when you let your guard down!
-Towa?
-Stop it, Sis!
That's not the Towa
you know and love anymore.
You all should go hide somewhere!
-O-Okay.
-You too, Grandpa!
All right.
The Hitokon itself is nothing special,
but the problem is,
it can control the powers of its host.
Damn it, this is so annoying.
She looks just like her.
Just like who?
Her eyes look just like Kagome's.
Whoa!
I see, interesting.
So that's your demon power.
Then I'll treat you as a worthy opponent.
Get real, Setsuna.
Are you really going to kill your sister?
Anyone who opposes me is an enemy of mine.
Cyclone Burst!
What?
-Do not interfere.
-Hey, Setsuna.
You're a demon slayer, aren't you?
You should at least have
medicine to weaken the Hitokon.
Scourge of Swallows!
Sis!
Are you okay? Wake up already!
Hey! What are you doing?!
-Mei!
-Oh, no!
Mei!
-Mei?
-What?
That bastard transferred over
to the child.
M-Mei.
Mei, what's wrong?
Is she being controlled? Get it together!
Stay right there.
You figured a child
would be easier to control.
-How foolish.
-Hey, what are you
Don't worry. I will cut out the Hitokon.
You can't!
I won't let you scar Mei's face.
I can't trouble this family
more than I already have!
Such naiveté.
What did you say?
Mei. This is my fault
I'm so sorry, Mei.
As long as you're alive,
you'll always trouble someone.
Hey, stop it.
-Mei!
-It's fine.
It'll be okay, Mei.
Moon of the Resting Moth.
Did you kill them?
A resting moth's powder
only puts one to asleep.
Th-Thank you!
Right.
So you did have some slayer potion!
GRASS ROOT DEMON - HITOKON
The Hitokon, huh?
The bounty for this one's pretty small.
Well, maybe it'll be enough for lunch!
What's wrong?
So Mistress Three Eyes, Setsuna,
and Moroha vanished near the Sacred Tree?
Indeed. Hisui, show Lady Kaede.
Yes. I found this attached to
the root of the Sacred Tree.
That's Root Head.
It is, isn't it?
I knew I had seen it before.
This is a demon we had slain
back when you were a baby.
If Root Head really did attach itself to
the Sacred Tree,
then this could be a problem.
A demon tree's root can absorb
the powers of its host, right?
Like the Hitokon.
Yes, but to attach itself to the
Tree of Ages, of all things
Tree of Ages?
I've heard of the Sacred Tree
being called the Tree of Ages.
But why is that?
Kohaku, you know about the
Bone Eater's Well, don't you?
Are you referring to the well
that Lady Kagome and Lord Inuyasha
used to travel through?
It's been over fifteen years
since it's become defunct
But according to Kagome, that well had
the power to travel across time.
Travel across time?
Kagome and Inuyasha simply described it
as going to "the other world."
The other world
That well was made using
wood from the Tree of Ages.
And if Root Head was attached
to the Tree of Ages
It may have absorbed
the Tree of Ages' ability
to cross into the other world.
So Setsuna and the others
may have gone to
To "Tokyo," the village
Kagome originally came from.
Can they even come back
from place like that?
I'm afraid it would be no easy task.
Is Towa asleep?
Yes. She said she was really tired.
Things sure have taken
an interesting turn.
TOWA'S ADOPTIVE FATHER - SOTA HIGURASHI
I've told you about it before, didn't I?
That demons were real.
And I've always believed you,
so that's fine and all
But this Kikujumonji, on the other hand
This was only on loan from the museum
-What should we do?
-Daddy!
What's done is done!
We'll just have to keep holding on to it.
Mommy, listen.
More importantly, what about Sis?
We had a lot of trouble out there.
Sis really had some amazing powers.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't know
Towa will be just fine.
She's always been the center of chaos.
The problem is actually those girls
who came from the other era, right?
That felt great.
I've never in my life
splashed hot water over my head.
That's great. It's getting late,
so how about turning in for the night?
Thanks, I'll do just that.
But dang, that felt great.
According to Mom,
that girl might be Kagome's daughter.
Oh, my. So that means she's our relative!
She might be, yes.
Then it'll be fine if they
stayed here for a while, right?
I don't mind.
Yay! I have three older sisters now!
Come on, just accept it already.
She had that much demon power.
She can't be lying about
being your older twin sister.
I don't have any memories
of when I was younger.
Besides, it's not something
I can simply accept.
There is no way someone who indulges
in slumber like that can be my sister.
I knew it.
You've never
fallen asleep before, have you?
Bull's eye.
Falling asleep leaves you
wide open to attack.
It's common sense in the warring age.
No, that's not it.
It's not that you won't fall asleep.
You can't fall asleep.
Don't act like you don't know.
You got your dreams eaten
by the Dream Butterfly.
My dreams were eaten?
What an annoying curse.
A butterfly in the dream world
has escaped over to this world,
and now you can never fall asleep,
let alone ever have dreams again.
Setsuna can't fall asleep?
And she can't dream?
But she was fine back then
All of this
It's all because I let go of her hand.
It's all my fault!
I bet you also tested the
resting moth's powder on yourself, right?
And you have no memories of your childhood
because they were also stolen
by the Dream Butterfly.
And what of it?
In the warring age,
it works to my advantage.
-Hey
-Setsuna!
NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
Moroha plans to negotiate with Rood Head
to pass through the corridor of time.
It's a pretty wild idea.
But for Setsuna to be able
to fall asleep and have dreams,
we have to look for the Dream Butterfly
in the Feudal Era.
However, we run into someone
in the corridor.
Is the Tree of Ages
supposed to look like a priestess?
Who are you?
Next time on Yashahime:
Princess Half-Demon:
"The Gateway to the Past"
You've done well to come here,
Half-Demon Princesses.
Daughters of Sesshomaru,
I have a request for you.
