Skeleton Knight in Another World (2022) s01e08 Episode Script
Allied! Dashing Through the Darkness with the Beastpeople!
1
I've been traveling to recover my beastpeople
comrades who have been captured by humans.
It was during those travels that I arrived
in the town of Diento, and met a strange human.
Whether it's elves or beastpeople,
different races have a characteristic scent—
But this human smelled
different from anyone else.
His entire presence was different.
It was so strange
A ninja?!
And on top of that
It's a furry-eared ninja! Here we go!
A strange man with a spirit creature,
who are sensitive to human malice.
We'll meet again, soon.
Wait!
And now I've run into him again.
This may be quite fortunate.
Royal Capital, Olav
Hi there. It's me, Arc.
We're here in the royal capital of Olav,
where I've once again run
into the furry-eared ninja.
You did well freeing those elves.
I'd like to discuss something.
Do you have a moment?
Who is this girl?
I wasn't able to explain during
the actual attack in Diento
She was the one who provided me
with the tracking contract.
And as for a name
My apologies.
My name is Chiyome.
I am one of the Jinshin Clan's Six Ninja.
Jinshin?
Jin means blade,
and Shin is the word for heart,
and when put together,
they come to mean "those who endure."
That's literally what shinobi means!
This is no place for a conversation,
so why don't we relocate?
The capital city is proving
to be as elegant as one would expect.
Gotta say
The Jinshin clan.
Jin means blade, and shin means heart,
and their name apparently means
"those who endure," she said
Which sounds to me a lot like
The kanji for "yaiba" plus the one
for "kokoro" equals shinobi!
Blade + Heart
Shinobi
I was right! I knew it!
She's a ninja! A for real furry-eared ninja!
Arc?
Well, I suppose this is the time
for formal introductions.
My name is Arc,
and I am a traveling mercenary.
This is Ponta.
I'm Ariane Glenys Maple.
A warrior from Maple
in the Great Canada Forest.
Sir Arc, Lady Ponta, and Lady Ariane.
Getting to the point,
I'd like to ask Sir Arc something.
What might that be?
Why did you call me a ninja
when we met in Diento?
I mean, because you
are pretty obviously a ninja
Not that I could actually say that.
In my homeland,
there are spies who dress in a fashion similar
to yours that are known as ninja.
That is a name known only
to my clan, and kept secret.
You must come from the same
country as our Great Founder.
Your founder?
Incidentally, is this
Great Founder still alive?
No, the Great Founder
was alive six hundred years ago,
and is practically a legend at this point.
Six hundred years ago?!
Does that mean another Japanese guy found
himself in this world, six hundred years ago?
I must ask Chiyome, right?
What did you wanted to discuss with Arc?
In Diento, Lady Chiyome was taking a big risk,
on her own, to search for something.
If it wasn't the elves, then
There are beastpeople
I'd like to ask your aid
in freeing my comrades.
I figured
It's easy enough to imagine how beastpeople
are treated in this world,
given how the relationship
between elves and humans is going.
Looks like Lady Chiyome has
a mission a lot like Lady Ariane's.
I believe the two of you are searching
for the individuals listed on the contract.
I can offer you intel
on their whereabouts as payment.
I see.
But, Lady Chiyome,
I'm currently contracted
to aid Lady Ariane and the elves.
She's a skilled ninja,
yet she's still such a young girl.
I wish I could help her.
I don't want more attention,
but if there's something I can do
What do you say, Lady Ariane?
Lady Chiyome says she can
offer us information.
Chiyome.
Have you been working to rescue your
people from a young age, as well?
Yes. It is what I have trained for.
To become strong. To rescue
as many of my comrades as possible.
Just like me
Okay, then.
What did you think I was going to say?
I know what it feels like
to want to save your kin.
Lady Chiyome!
R-Right!
It would be my pleasure to help!
Yes. Likewise.
So, what exactly would we be doing?
Right!
Damn it, of all the timing!
Why did the haunted wolves stop taking
orders at the worst possible moment?!
Do you suppose someone destroyed the rings?
And this means Yuriarna is alive?
We haven't been able to
confirm her whereabouts.
It's likely she's taking back roads
in order to avoid us.
But the search continues.
If she manages to reach the elves
for this negotiation
Since the attack in Diento,
the elves and beastpeople have been
more active in undermining the trade.
How are we supposed to do any business?!
Do we know who was
responsible for the attack yet?
Only word of elf-like
individuals being involved.
Nothing concrete.
It's likely that they'll
arrive in Olav, eventually.
You
You think that they're after my life?
Possibly.
What can be done?
You have to do something, Cetrion!
I have a safe house
that is a tightly kept secret.
It would be wise to go
into hiding there for a time.
Lady Chiyome,
you mentioned that your Great Founder
was the one who named the Jinshin Clan,
but was he also a beastperson?
No, the Great Founder,
Master Hanzo, was a human.
Hanzo?!
Originally, the Great Founder
was a spy in the employ of the Revlon Empire.
He took the beastpeople, who faced
injustice in the empire, into his care,
making some into his subordinates.
That was the foundation of the Jinshin Clan.
A human named Hanzo
No doubt about it!
This Great Founder was Japanese!
Creating a ninja clan by yourself,
after ending up in another world,
and having your legend still be
known six centuries in the future!
Man, I'm jealous!
That's so awesome!
Is he alright?
He gets like that at times.
That's the place.`````````````
The largest slave market
in the capital, Etzat Market.
We're going to attack it.
Episode 8
Allied! Dashing Through the Darkness With the Beastpeople!
How much product is there?
They're coming in at good rate.
We should hit the quota
in time for shipping.
Good.
Business has been harder than usual, lately.
True.
Prince Dakares will be rather pleased.
The Etzat Market is closely tied
to the center of operations,
and once we attack,
reinforcements will appear quickly.
It's likely that the royal
army will take action, as well.
Won't it be hard to escape, then?
Yes.
Which is I would like the two of you
to strike conspicuously,
and then make a quick exit.
What do you mean?
I don't think everyone
involved in the attack,
and everyone attempting to flee,
will be able to escape.
Etzat is just a decoy, then?
Simultaneous attacks will be launched
on the other four slave markets in the capital.
To this end, my comrades
have already infiltrated Olav.
So once their attention is drawn
to Etzat, the biggest target,
the others will all be liberated.
But that's
Not everyone can be saved.
If sacrificing ten will bring the salvation
of a hundred, that is what we must do.
And I believe with the two of you helping,
the sacrifices can be further minimized.
In that case, Lady Chiyome,
then we would like to fight
to the end, as well.
No, I couldn't ask that of you
I can use teleportation magic.
Teleportation magic?!
Then I wasn't mistaken before, after all!
You really are a master
of space-time ninjutsu,
like the Great Founder, Sir Arc?!
Space-time ninjutsu?
Yes!
Legends say that the Great Founder
wielded space-time ninjutsu
that let him cross great
distances in an instant!
Well, it's not ninjutsu,
but I can travel to anywhere
that I've previously been to in an instant.
With that magic, we can
probably minimize casualties.
We may actually be able to save those
who are being held captive in Etzat, then.
Sir Arc, I'll inform
my comrades immediately!
Right. No need to rush. Go carefully.
Thank you for your concern!
Oh, I forgot to mention:
the attack is tonight,
so please make any preparations
you need to in the meantime.
She did just say that we're
doing this tonight, right?
That is what I heard, yes.
So be it.
We should set about preparing.
Preparing?
Time to eat!
I guess having a meal is one way to prepare.
War can't be waged on an empty stomach.
This is as much
a component of battle as any.
I must say—
Bounty of the sea, and the mountains
We're spoiled for choice, here!
Well, goods from all over
the nation flow to the capital.
Hey, try this.
I've never seen anything like it.
Is that right?
Try it quick, before it gets cold.
Well? Is it good?
Indeed, it is!
The texture is crispy,
but has a flavor like mushrooms.
What is it?
Dragonfly.
Wait, from before?!
I told you, didn't I?
It's nice and crunchy, so you should try it.
Yes, it is indeed tasty.
It seems the world
is full of undiscovered wonders.
Thank you for the meal!
Now, then
Are we leaving already?
There is one other bit
of preparation to attend to.
That should do it.
Why a mask?
If we're to act as decoys,
it's the least we can do.
I'd think you stand out enough as-is.
Why not purchase one yourself, Lady Ariane?
That's all right.
It costed 13 gold coins!
I will say—
And I wasn't sure if I should,
but I'm going to just be honest
It's really creepy!
You sure you weren't swindled?
What?!
The price reflects its cultural significance!
Look at how impressive it is!
Right, Ponta?!
Et tu, Ponta?!
I apologize for the delay.
Oh, Lady Chiyome
Why the mask, Sir Arc?
Well, you see
Don't worry about it.
Who's your friend?
This is another on
of the Jinshin Clan's Six Ninja, Goemon.
G-G-G-G-Goemon!
I-I'm curious, is Chiyome your actual name?
No,
that name is one of the titles bestowed
upon the most skilled among our clan,
who are known as the Six Ninja.
I knew it!
Her name really does come
from the famous kunoichi
Mochizuki Chiyome!
So, their Great Founder used Hattori Hanzo,
and this guy is named after Ishikawa Goemon!
Does that mean the other Six Ninja have names
like Sarutobi Sasuke or Kirigakure Saizo?!
Arc?
Is something on your mind?
Oh, er, not exactly
Man, he's staring!
Goemon!
W-Wait a sec, Arc!
You're quite good!
I could say the same of you!
What was that?
Maybe they feel some kind of kinship?
It seems the other strike teams are ready.
Then, it's time for the operation.
Yes.
As we discussed before,
Lady Ariane and I will strike from the rear.
The frontal attack will be
handled by Sir Arc and Goemon.
Good luck with the distraction, Arc.
I will steal away with their attention!
Shall we begin, Sir Goemon?
Right.
What the?
Someone's coming!
A beastperson and
What is that thing?!
You, stop right there!
Come any closer and you'll suffer for it!
Do you two not hear us?!
I said stop!
Now, Sir Goemon, let's get conspicuous!
Muscle to stone
Wall Smasher
Muscle to stone, Wall Smasher!
It's an attack! We're under attack!
It's begun.
Let's get going.
What does a filthy beastperson think
he's doing in the human capital?!
Do you realize that you're
in the Etzat Market?!
Get them!
Muscle to metal, Arm Bracer!
Muscle to metal
Arm Bracer
Wh-What's he made of?!
Damnable freak!
I take it you cowards
won't come after us, then?
Then, allow me to take initiative!
And without my usual restraint.
Careful not to be caught
in the wake, Sir Goemon.
If we need flashy magic
to draw the enemy's attention, then
Rock Shot!
Rock Shot
Damn it, that masked bastard is a mage!
We need more reinforcements!
Good! And to attract even more attention
I'll terrify them!
D-Don't falter!
Muscle to stone, Rock Spear Strike!
Muscle to stone
Rock Spear Strike
Most impressive, Sir Goemon!
Then perhaps I'll cut loose, as well!
Rock Fang!
Rock Fang
Sir Goemon, I believe your
ninjutsu and my magic
have a boosted, cumulative effect!
Unexpected.
I get the feeling that a certain cocky
skeleton just had an impromptu burial
We should go.
Next Time
The Capital in Chaos and a Maiden's Oath
Can't wage war on an empty stomach!
