Sengoku Youko (2024) s01e05 Episode Script
Higan
1
He's got his guard down now.
Makes you want to
jump up from behind to scare him.
I brought you some lunch.
Okay.
Thank you again, Shinsuke.
Zanzou Raidou?!
Could it be he's exchanging food
for swordsmanship lessons?
Look.
Your downward strike is good,
but sideways is hopeless.
Relax your shoulders
and listen to the wind.
Listen?
That's right.
Good strikes sound different.
Was that it?
What do we do?
That food came from us, you know.
We should surprise No, warn him a little.
Geez.
We were wondering what you were up to.
J-Jinka?
Wait, you hadn't noticed them?
Huh?
W-Wait!
You've got it all wrong.
He's not really a bad guy.
He's Umm
Ah, this is nice.
I'll make the remedies now.
Shinsuke says
you were just trying to save your sister.
Is it true?
The Raidou Clan isn't anything special,
but our spiritual power is strong.
Those with spiritual power
will always be intertwined with Katawara.
We're fated to stay in the shadows,
away from the real world.
In order to survive,
I became a devourer of darkness,
and my little sister Hino
left home to join the Dangaishuu.
However
In the Dangaishuu,
her spiritual power is nothing special,
and if the higher-ups feel like it,
they can easily kill her.
I see. So that's why
Or so I thought.
Gross!
Are you okay?
My eyes! My eyes!
So the truth is, she wasn't undermined?
Apparently, Hino has been
quite successful.
No, her name now is
The Dangaishuu Beast Leader, Higan.
The next assassin.
Oh?
So this time,
it's your sister who will come to kill me.
Probably, yeah.
So be careful.
Just so you know,
you are lucky that
I did not kill you after beating you.
There's no guarantee
the same will be true for your sister.
I know that.
You might even die this time.
The beast leader Higan,
meaning "ice rock."
Her name is similar to Shakugan's.
Well, there's probably
no question about it.
She must be an enhanced human.
That was gruesome.
It stinks!
Jin! Tama!
Help!
Huh?
This smell
This is awful.
What happened?
It's a woman.
A woman suddenly appeared.
She kicked me out of my home!
She told me to tell Jin
that she's waiting for him.
A woman
It must be Hino.
Wait for me.
Zanzou Raidou.
Your sister has hurt my friend,
on my mountain.
Unfortunately, I will definitely kill her.
Shaku, take care of the house
and of this guy.
- Shinsuke, you carry Zanzou
- Umm.
Please let me go too.
That means I've got to
Wa Water
Wa Water.
Oh my.
You're here already.
Hi, Hino.
Brother. You are alive I see.
You've become a success.
Yes.
I worked ha
Are you done? Can we start already?
This isn't good. He's losing his temper
Jinka. Calm down and fight.
Yes.
Spirit transformation?
Then please allow me to join you.
I am Dangaishuu Beast Leader Higan.
Here I come.
Hino.
Brother.
I will fulfill this mission
and bring you
and the Raidou Clan out in the light.
Is that why you
But you will die here.
Jinka the Sendou, here I co
Shaku?
Long time no see, Sougan!
It was your stench after all!
Do you recognize me even though
I've been sealed up inside this girl?
It's me, Kagan!
So that's how it is.
What is going on?
Enhanced humans are made
by fusing humans and Katawara.
The one talking right now is probably
a Katawara named Kagan,
who has been sealed inside Shaku.
A Katawara?
Are you saying that
this "Sougan" is inside Hino?
I am Higan.
Not Hino, nor Sougan.
Forget about Sougan.
You're using Katawara as toys.
You enhanced humans
What irredeemable sacrilege!
You've gone too far in your rotten ways!
Shakugan. Get out of the way!
W-Wait a moment.
It's Kagan's friend.
The Katawara's conscience remains.
You're nothing but a failure.
A failure?
Yes.
Part of my mission
involves exterminating you.
Step aside and wait.
Hold on.
This child forgave and welcomed me
as my vessel and my owner.
Don't you dare mock her.
Is the same true for you?
Has Sougan accepted you as his vessel?
I devoured
that Katawara's conscience long ago.
I don't need it.
What?
Jinka!
Let us switch!
I'll kill her!
Understood.
In return, let us befriend you
as Kagan as well.
Talk to us every now and then.
Jinka
Thanks.
Shakuyaku and I are one and the same.
In other words,
you and I are already friends.
I am Shakugan, two souls in one body.
Here I come!
Come on, failure.
Come so that I may build
my success on you.
Goushinten!
Not bad.
You can work together well enough
to invocate a simple Goushinten.
However
I can do the same.
Shaku!
What do you think?
Shakugan has the will and the power
of both a human and a Katawara
working together in perfect harmony.
However
Higan's spiritual power
is about the same as my own.
The odds are not good.
Hino
Earthworms
Earthworms!
You really want worms, not water?
Throw them in my mouth.
With all this dirt?
It scared me at first,
but it's not exactly intimidating now.
Actually, it's kind of cute.
You're a good human.
Are you a friend of Jin's?
You mean Jinka?
Well, I don't know
if that's what he'd call it.
Be his friend, will you?
He can come off as
misanthropic and stubborn,
but he's kind to those close to him.
He's not a bad guy.
Yeah. I know.
Hold on for a second,
I'll get you more worms.
I just got a chill What was that?
W-Who are they?
Not here We're leaving, Senya.
Yes, Master Jinun.
Senya.
Yes, Master Jinun.
I saw a river of blood.
Hey.
I caught the scent of a dragon.
A dragon?
Hurry up and run.
I'll tell you a shortcut, so find Jin,
and tell them all to flee immediately!
Hey!
Shinsuke?
You.
Did you abandon my friend?
That friend told me to go himself.
To tell you all to run.
- To run?
- Yes.
He said something about
the smell of a dragon.
A dragon?
It can't be Master Jinun?
Jinun? Right, actually
Dragons are bad news.
Run away!
Higan.
Master Jinun
You committed the crime of
assassinating a Shogunate official.
You will be annihilated.
Assassinated a Shogunate official?
What evidence do you have of that?
I am on a mission right now.
I need no evidence.
This is simply justice.
So you are Jinka.
The one who attacked the head temple.
Everyone, scatter!
We'll meet in the runaway cave.
A smokescreen
Senya. You're too inexperienced.
I apologize, Master Jinun.
It is fine. You learned from it.
It appears Higan got away too.
That is fine.
This won't last long.
"The runaway cave"
I knew this was where he'd be.
Jinka, you got here fast.
Are you afraid, Jinka?
I am afraid.
Hino.
Brother
She's still alive
Enhanced humans have quite the life force
Though she doesn't have long.
Hino What did you do?
You assassinated a Shogunate official?
I killed him.
Master Matsunaga ordered me to
The Shogun's Deputy
Master Miyoshi Nagayoshi
Why?
Even the Dangaishuu forbids bringing
spiritual power out into the world.
So those of us
who were born with spiritual power
can never strive for more?
Must we always live in darkness?
Can we never achieve happiness?
Hino
The Raidou Clan has lived
in the world of darkness for far too long.
With your talent for the sword, brother,
the Raidou Clan's wish could be
brought out into the world.
Hino.
The Raidou Clan has no such wish.
This is just your desire.
Do you not want to step
out into the world?
Do you not want to be happy?
Must you achieve that ambition
in order to be happy?
That's not how it works.
Brother
I pity you.
The darkness has engulfed even your heart.
Hino!
Do not worry, elder brother.
I shall save you from the darkness.
I will bring you out into the sun!
Hino! That's enough! Stop it!
No! Even if I cannot return
to the Dangaishuu,
Master Matsunaga will help me somehow.
But first, I must
First I must eat a Katawara
to preserve my life
Katawara
- Hino! Stop it!
- Master Tama!
Hino
Misfortune is not decided by fate,
but by your heart.
I don't want to die
Farewell.
And be careful
on your journey to the afterlife.
Be hu
I wanted
to be huma
What did she say?
That she wanted to be human.
Then why?!
Why did you eat my friend?!
Why did you become one
if you did not wish to be together?
What are we?
If we are not people, what are we?
If we are not Katawara, what are we?!
Shakugan
Jinka.
I won't do it. I cannot fight him!
His strength is too great.
Then what will you do?
Will you run for all eternity?
Even if you manage
to escape the assassins,
sooner or later, that man will come.
But
We have no choice but to defeat him!
Defeat him? A dragon?
Is that possible?
If we go to him right now,
we'd just be courting disaster.
We need to prepare.
Prepare what?
First!
We go to the Dangaishuu laboratories,
to put a final stop to those experiments
toying with the lives of Katawara!
Second!
We take their research documents,
and gather the information we need
to fight them.
And third!
We buy time by running, and use
that information to find a way to win.
Then we will face that man
in a final battle.
That is how we fuse what I want
and what we need to do.
Raise your hand if you object!
One moment please.
Before we do any of that,
Kagan wishes to
bring Sougan's remains to his home.
His home? Where is that?
I'm not sure, but Kagan says
he can tell the direction by smell.
Okay.
Then that's where we start.
I will leave that to you.
I will settle things for Hino.
I see. Take care.
Jinka.
Don't be afraid.
Elder sister
That dragon guy might be strong,
but he's just a brat not even half my age.
I'll outsmart him any day.
Just follow me.
I'll bring victory to you every time.
Prepare yourself, little brother.
Even if you didn't tell me,
I'd still be right behind you.
Then let's go.
He speaks of justice,
but refuses to talk and abuses his power.
We'll teach that selfish brat a lesson!
It ended up becoming a much,
much
much longer journey than we expected.
We initially set out
to fight for our survival,
but
in the end it became a journey to find out
what makes a Katawara,
and what makes a human.
And while on this journey
we learned the true forms
of both humans and Katawara.
He's got his guard down now.
Makes you want to
jump up from behind to scare him.
I brought you some lunch.
Okay.
Thank you again, Shinsuke.
Zanzou Raidou?!
Could it be he's exchanging food
for swordsmanship lessons?
Look.
Your downward strike is good,
but sideways is hopeless.
Relax your shoulders
and listen to the wind.
Listen?
That's right.
Good strikes sound different.
Was that it?
What do we do?
That food came from us, you know.
We should surprise No, warn him a little.
Geez.
We were wondering what you were up to.
J-Jinka?
Wait, you hadn't noticed them?
Huh?
W-Wait!
You've got it all wrong.
He's not really a bad guy.
He's Umm
Ah, this is nice.
I'll make the remedies now.
Shinsuke says
you were just trying to save your sister.
Is it true?
The Raidou Clan isn't anything special,
but our spiritual power is strong.
Those with spiritual power
will always be intertwined with Katawara.
We're fated to stay in the shadows,
away from the real world.
In order to survive,
I became a devourer of darkness,
and my little sister Hino
left home to join the Dangaishuu.
However
In the Dangaishuu,
her spiritual power is nothing special,
and if the higher-ups feel like it,
they can easily kill her.
I see. So that's why
Or so I thought.
Gross!
Are you okay?
My eyes! My eyes!
So the truth is, she wasn't undermined?
Apparently, Hino has been
quite successful.
No, her name now is
The Dangaishuu Beast Leader, Higan.
The next assassin.
Oh?
So this time,
it's your sister who will come to kill me.
Probably, yeah.
So be careful.
Just so you know,
you are lucky that
I did not kill you after beating you.
There's no guarantee
the same will be true for your sister.
I know that.
You might even die this time.
The beast leader Higan,
meaning "ice rock."
Her name is similar to Shakugan's.
Well, there's probably
no question about it.
She must be an enhanced human.
That was gruesome.
It stinks!
Jin! Tama!
Help!
Huh?
This smell
This is awful.
What happened?
It's a woman.
A woman suddenly appeared.
She kicked me out of my home!
She told me to tell Jin
that she's waiting for him.
A woman
It must be Hino.
Wait for me.
Zanzou Raidou.
Your sister has hurt my friend,
on my mountain.
Unfortunately, I will definitely kill her.
Shaku, take care of the house
and of this guy.
- Shinsuke, you carry Zanzou
- Umm.
Please let me go too.
That means I've got to
Wa Water
Wa Water.
Oh my.
You're here already.
Hi, Hino.
Brother. You are alive I see.
You've become a success.
Yes.
I worked ha
Are you done? Can we start already?
This isn't good. He's losing his temper
Jinka. Calm down and fight.
Yes.
Spirit transformation?
Then please allow me to join you.
I am Dangaishuu Beast Leader Higan.
Here I come.
Hino.
Brother.
I will fulfill this mission
and bring you
and the Raidou Clan out in the light.
Is that why you
But you will die here.
Jinka the Sendou, here I co
Shaku?
Long time no see, Sougan!
It was your stench after all!
Do you recognize me even though
I've been sealed up inside this girl?
It's me, Kagan!
So that's how it is.
What is going on?
Enhanced humans are made
by fusing humans and Katawara.
The one talking right now is probably
a Katawara named Kagan,
who has been sealed inside Shaku.
A Katawara?
Are you saying that
this "Sougan" is inside Hino?
I am Higan.
Not Hino, nor Sougan.
Forget about Sougan.
You're using Katawara as toys.
You enhanced humans
What irredeemable sacrilege!
You've gone too far in your rotten ways!
Shakugan. Get out of the way!
W-Wait a moment.
It's Kagan's friend.
The Katawara's conscience remains.
You're nothing but a failure.
A failure?
Yes.
Part of my mission
involves exterminating you.
Step aside and wait.
Hold on.
This child forgave and welcomed me
as my vessel and my owner.
Don't you dare mock her.
Is the same true for you?
Has Sougan accepted you as his vessel?
I devoured
that Katawara's conscience long ago.
I don't need it.
What?
Jinka!
Let us switch!
I'll kill her!
Understood.
In return, let us befriend you
as Kagan as well.
Talk to us every now and then.
Jinka
Thanks.
Shakuyaku and I are one and the same.
In other words,
you and I are already friends.
I am Shakugan, two souls in one body.
Here I come!
Come on, failure.
Come so that I may build
my success on you.
Goushinten!
Not bad.
You can work together well enough
to invocate a simple Goushinten.
However
I can do the same.
Shaku!
What do you think?
Shakugan has the will and the power
of both a human and a Katawara
working together in perfect harmony.
However
Higan's spiritual power
is about the same as my own.
The odds are not good.
Hino
Earthworms
Earthworms!
You really want worms, not water?
Throw them in my mouth.
With all this dirt?
It scared me at first,
but it's not exactly intimidating now.
Actually, it's kind of cute.
You're a good human.
Are you a friend of Jin's?
You mean Jinka?
Well, I don't know
if that's what he'd call it.
Be his friend, will you?
He can come off as
misanthropic and stubborn,
but he's kind to those close to him.
He's not a bad guy.
Yeah. I know.
Hold on for a second,
I'll get you more worms.
I just got a chill What was that?
W-Who are they?
Not here We're leaving, Senya.
Yes, Master Jinun.
Senya.
Yes, Master Jinun.
I saw a river of blood.
Hey.
I caught the scent of a dragon.
A dragon?
Hurry up and run.
I'll tell you a shortcut, so find Jin,
and tell them all to flee immediately!
Hey!
Shinsuke?
You.
Did you abandon my friend?
That friend told me to go himself.
To tell you all to run.
- To run?
- Yes.
He said something about
the smell of a dragon.
A dragon?
It can't be Master Jinun?
Jinun? Right, actually
Dragons are bad news.
Run away!
Higan.
Master Jinun
You committed the crime of
assassinating a Shogunate official.
You will be annihilated.
Assassinated a Shogunate official?
What evidence do you have of that?
I am on a mission right now.
I need no evidence.
This is simply justice.
So you are Jinka.
The one who attacked the head temple.
Everyone, scatter!
We'll meet in the runaway cave.
A smokescreen
Senya. You're too inexperienced.
I apologize, Master Jinun.
It is fine. You learned from it.
It appears Higan got away too.
That is fine.
This won't last long.
"The runaway cave"
I knew this was where he'd be.
Jinka, you got here fast.
Are you afraid, Jinka?
I am afraid.
Hino.
Brother
She's still alive
Enhanced humans have quite the life force
Though she doesn't have long.
Hino What did you do?
You assassinated a Shogunate official?
I killed him.
Master Matsunaga ordered me to
The Shogun's Deputy
Master Miyoshi Nagayoshi
Why?
Even the Dangaishuu forbids bringing
spiritual power out into the world.
So those of us
who were born with spiritual power
can never strive for more?
Must we always live in darkness?
Can we never achieve happiness?
Hino
The Raidou Clan has lived
in the world of darkness for far too long.
With your talent for the sword, brother,
the Raidou Clan's wish could be
brought out into the world.
Hino.
The Raidou Clan has no such wish.
This is just your desire.
Do you not want to step
out into the world?
Do you not want to be happy?
Must you achieve that ambition
in order to be happy?
That's not how it works.
Brother
I pity you.
The darkness has engulfed even your heart.
Hino!
Do not worry, elder brother.
I shall save you from the darkness.
I will bring you out into the sun!
Hino! That's enough! Stop it!
No! Even if I cannot return
to the Dangaishuu,
Master Matsunaga will help me somehow.
But first, I must
First I must eat a Katawara
to preserve my life
Katawara
- Hino! Stop it!
- Master Tama!
Hino
Misfortune is not decided by fate,
but by your heart.
I don't want to die
Farewell.
And be careful
on your journey to the afterlife.
Be hu
I wanted
to be huma
What did she say?
That she wanted to be human.
Then why?!
Why did you eat my friend?!
Why did you become one
if you did not wish to be together?
What are we?
If we are not people, what are we?
If we are not Katawara, what are we?!
Shakugan
Jinka.
I won't do it. I cannot fight him!
His strength is too great.
Then what will you do?
Will you run for all eternity?
Even if you manage
to escape the assassins,
sooner or later, that man will come.
But
We have no choice but to defeat him!
Defeat him? A dragon?
Is that possible?
If we go to him right now,
we'd just be courting disaster.
We need to prepare.

We buy time by running, and use
that information to find a way to win.
Then we will face that man
in a final battle.
That is how we fuse what I want
and what we need to do.
Raise your hand if you object!
One moment please.
Before we do any of that,
Kagan wishes to
bring Sougan's remains to his home.
His home? Where is that?
I'm not sure, but Kagan says
he can tell the direction by smell.
Okay.
Then that's where we start.
I will leave that to you.
I will settle things for Hino.
I see. Take care.
Jinka.
Don't be afraid.
Elder sister
That dragon guy might be strong,
but he's just a brat not even half my age.
I'll outsmart him any day.
Just follow me.
I'll bring victory to you every time.
Prepare yourself, little brother.
Even if you didn't tell me,
I'd still be right behind you.
Then let's go.
He speaks of justice,
but refuses to talk and abuses his power.
We'll teach that selfish brat a lesson!
It ended up becoming a much,
much
much longer journey than we expected.
We initially set out
to fight for our survival,
but
in the end it became a journey to find out
what makes a Katawara,
and what makes a human.
And while on this journey
we learned the true forms
of both humans and Katawara.
