Meiôjû no Meifuku
1
Towa and Setsuna.
Between us half-demon twins,
two different worlds exist
at the same time.
Human and demon.
Feudal era and present day.
Peacefulness and war.
Joy and sorrow.
Dreams and reality.
One moment and eternity.
And finally, love and hate.
A Feudal Fairytale,
Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon.
We'll keep moving forward
through the hurdles of destiny!
Who goes there?
See that tree over yonder.
Historically significant,
yet so distasteful.
Menial flies, be gone.
What did you say?
What an exquisite view.
ONE OF THE FOUR PERILS – KONTON
Damn him.
"Meifuku, the Meioju"
CORPSE DEALER
One of the fortresses
of a certain commander has been destroyed.
A certain commander?
-As in, one of those monkeys?
-No.
They keep sending soldiers to
survey the situation, but none return.
They think this might be
the work of demons,
so they came to me.
So, how about it?
That depends on the payment.
If you slay the demons, the commander
will pay one thousand mon coins.
I'm in.
Takechiyo.
Go ahead and take them there.
Yep.
Okay, let's go.
Hey, what's wrong? Come on, let's go.
Setsuna and I aren't really interested
in bounty hunting.
You aren't interested?!
But it's one thousand mon.
That's a year's worth of rice!
You can eat that by yourself.
Yeah, I'll eat all that rice
on my own Not!
Just come with me already!
-Let's just split up for today.
-Why?
We have different goals, or something?
What does that even mean?
Why must we go with you
in the first place?
Well, that's because, uh
because we're comrades?
Comrades?
Demon slaying and bounty hunting
are different things.
Fine, be that way!
I can take care of this job all by myself.
Damn you, you bunch of dummies.
Your mama's a human!
Yours is too.
Come on, Takechiyo.
Hey, you're going the wrong way,
it's that way!
So?
Did you find out anything
about the Dream Butterfly?
Enough of that already.
But I have to.
I came to this world to get your dreams
back from the Dream Butterfly.
As usual, I don't have anything.
-Not even a little?
-Sorry.
But if you really want results,
why not put out a bounty for it?
That is how my business works, after all.
A client pays money,
and someone fulfills their request.
If you put a bounty out
for the Dream Butterfly,
I'm sure someone will go look for it.
How much would I have to pay?
Towa, stop it.
A Dream Butterfly would be
one thousand mon.
One thousand mon?
A year's worth of rice.
One koku, a year's worth, is ten tou,
one hundred shou, or one thousand gou.
Wait, how may kilograms is a thousand gou?
It's quite the amount.
So do you have a bounty
that would fetch me that price?
For now, there's only
that one job I gave to Moroha.
You can't be serious
Geez, what's with them?
I was just thinking that
since we're cousins,
I'd try to get along with them
like relatives normally would.
But then I get treated like that.
And here I was, finally thinking
that I'd made some friends,
since I've been all alone
this whole time, so
You wouldn't understand.
Quarter-demons have it pretty rough
if we're alone.
Hey! Moroha!
Wait for us!
Moroha, we'll go with you!
Come on, Takechiyo, let's hurry up.
We're not going to wait for them?
I said hurry up. Go!
Wait, what? Moroha! Hey!
Why did you run from us?
Takechiyo just suddenly booked it,
you know? Blame him.
No, I didn't
So? What did you want,
chasing after me and all?
We'll help with your bounty hunting.
But you said you didn't want to.
Well, the thing is
We thought about it,
and consider you a reliable friend.
What? Oh, really?
Let's slay demons together.
Well, if you put it that way,
then I guess I have no choice!
Sure, I'll bring you two along.
Thanks a lot, Moroha.
All right, Takechiyo.
The fortress should be up ahead.
I'm spent, so I'm going to head home.
If you're heading back,
can you take this bicycle with you?
Is that it?
Something's here.
You're right. It smells fishy, literally.
Not much demon energy, though.
MEIOJU'S SON – MEIFUKU
What are you doing?
H-Hey.
Leave him be. It's just some kid.
The real thing is over there.
I thought it would be
another boorish group of samurai,
but instead I see
a trio of mysterious girls.
Excuse me, are you the one who destroyed
the fortress that was here?
I did not destroy it.
It was distasteful,
so I simply removed it.
Behold, this wonderful scenery!
Yeah, it's definitely him.
Girls, if you would perform
a dance for me,
then I can perhaps reward you.
Hah! A dance? You've got to be kidding.
You'll be the one dancing for us!
Moroha the Demon Killer,
here to collect the bounty on your head.
Bounty? There's a bounty
on this Konton's head?
Distasteful! Absolutely distasteful.
Konton?
So he's Kirinmaru's underling?
To run into him in this situation
What should we do?
We'll take him down, obviously.
Watch out!
WIND LION
THUNDER LION
Half-demons. I will not go easy on you.
You think you can keep parrying like that?
Your belly's wide open.
Moroha!
Kurikaramaru couldn't cut through it?
What kind of demon magic is this?
If so, I'll absorb the demon power.
I can't absorb its power?
This is not a matter
of demon energy or demon magic.
This is an especially sturdy armor,
and will not crack from any hit it takes.
Not even a diamond will pierce through.
And behold this divine sword
from ancient times.
Do not put me in the same league
as this country's demons.
How dare you, so distasteful.
After them.
Where is this
More importantly,
who the heck is this shrimp here?
Moroha, you're being rude.
Remember, he saved us.
We saw each other earlier, right?
What's your name?
My name is Meifuku. I'm a Meioju.
Meioju.
Your kind sports the sturdiest shell
among all the demons.
The sturdiest? You don't mean
Please look over there.
Whoa, what the hell?
Man, that's a huge creature.
Are these the bones of a demon?
The remains of my father.
My father was quite the exceptional demon,
but Konton had laid a trap
using a strange spell.
GREAT DEMON WITH
THE ULTIMATE ARMORED SHELL – MEIOJU
How distasteful. Take this!
Nothing can pierce my armored shell.
Dark Lightning Cannon!
Did you think
you could defeat this Meioju?
I laid out an immobilizing field.
You can no longer move.
I have now acquired
Meioju's armored shell.
Damn you.
F-Father!
Run, Meifuku!
Konton killed my father
and took his armored shell.
He used that shell
to create a suit of armor.
So that's what that suit of armor is.
But how do you shape
an armored shell into a suit of armor?
Grandpa Myoga?
I live!
It seems Konton and the other Four Perils
are from the mainland,
so the spells they use are similar
to Tao magic and Fang magic.
Oh, you researched it?
Konton probably extracted
the shell's demon energy,
and used a spell technique to mold it
into a suit of armor.
I was just so focused
on running away back then.
I don't want to leave things as they are.
I wish to avenge my father,
so I've been following Konton around.
But
I don't think I can win at all.
If I could at least take back
my father's shell
and send him off properly
How long have you been
following him around?
Maybe around ten years.
Ten years? That's too long.
But I'm just barely fifty years old.
You're older than me?
You're fifty years old?!
I'm so young that my armored shell
is only a single layer.
If fifty's not enough,
how much longer do you need?
Ideally, another fifty years
You're kidding me.
-Your armored shell is sturdy enough!
-Please stop!
Remove it, I'll use it instead.
It's not something I can just remove!
I can't! It's impossible!
Then stand in front of me
and become my shield.
I'd rather not!
They've caught up to us.
Is it just the pets?
Konton.
It is indeed a strange spell.
Grandpa Myoga,
it might be better if you hid.
Here I go, goodbye!
So it's Meioju's little brat.
After all this time,
you still bare your fangs at me?
I um
You betcha!
Meifuku here says he's going to beat you
and take his revenge.
I see. Vengeance, is it?
But I'm not ready
Go on! Tell him you want
your dad's armored shell back.
Well, yes, I would like
to do that one day.
Are you saying that you can defeat me?
Don't worry about it, we'll help you out.
We'll defeat him
and get one thousand mon coins.
Even better, if we take his head back,
we can get a gold ingot!
So here, go on now!
I'll avenge my father So Konton
Geez, you're so helpless.
Just become my shield, then.
O-Okay.
Huh? Me?
Hey, you.
That person is scary,
so I'll just be your armor, okay?
Crimson Dragon Wave!
Moroha!
Cyclone Burst!
-What?
-Divine Speed.
Setsuna!
Setsuna!
It can't be helped. It's come to this.
With this rouge, I become
Beniyasha, Destroyer of Lands!
Tremble before the bloodthirsty dawn!
Divine Speed.
Moroha!
Divine Speed!
Your armored shell's doing its job!
All right, let's go all at once.
Meifuku, your armored shell
is just as sturdy as your dad's!
This is nothing compared to my father's.
Even with its demon energy removed,
his is still just as sturdy.
So its demon energy was removed, huh?
Exploding field!
Towa!
You must know you cannot
absorb its demon energy!
Yeah, that armored shell
doesn't have any demon energy.
So I'll give you
some of mine!
Damn you, Konton! Damn you!
Father?
Divine Speed!
Meifuku. My dear Meifuku.
Fire a Dark Lightning Cannon.
Father! It's really you, isn't it?
But my Dark Lightning Cannon is still
It'll be fine.
From this distance,
your Dark Lightning Cannon will be enough.
But then, Father, you'll get
Please, put your father at ease, Meifuku.
I will not allow it! Exploding field!
Oh, no.
What?
Don't you dare.
How distasteful.
Now, Meifuku.
Fire your Dark Lightning Cannon!
Father
Dark Lightning Cannon!
Now!
Father!
You did well, Meifuku.
Father
You managed to steal away my armor,
but you've exhausted your demon energy.
Now die!
Crimson Dragon Wave!
Cyclone Burst!
D-Damn you.
Now I've got you!
He got away.
I see. What a troublesome spell.
Thanks, you two.
Are you all right?
I think I used
a bit too much demon energy.
Lady Moroha.
It's right here.
Please don't forget it.
Thanks to you, I was able
to get back my father's armored shell.
For now, I'll be praying
for the departed souls.
Just out of curiosity,
how long will you do that for?
For about fifty years.
I still can't believe Konton got away.
Looks like you can't collect your bounty.
What? But we chased him away.
We can't collect the bounty
unless we have his head!
Damn it all.
Things will not end like this.
Curse you half-demons.

Kinka and Ginka,
demon brothers born conjoined.
