Ninja Kamui (2024) s01e12 Episode Script

1
I don't need any treatment.
It's not your physical state
I'm worried about.
It's the emotional wounds of
your heart that ache, no?
I'm certain they run deep.
After all, you just fought
a deadly battle with a close friend.
One fierce enough that you both
used your secret arts.
Zai's technique, which is a
flurry of attacks at lightning speed
that go beyond the body's limits.
And you countered all of his blows
with your own technique that gives you
super senses and keen foresight.
How do you know about our secret arts?
I came here
to explain everything to you.
Chief?!
Not my fortress
Dilly
Dilly!
Thanks for your report.
Seems like another victory for AUZA.
Performance in all departments
continues to improve.
And an upward revision of
your mid-term plan was proposed
during the board meeting earlier today.
I see.
What are your thoughts on that, Dilly?
Huh?
I would never propose
a change to your plans, sir.
And why is that?
Because you're a ninja?
Because you're ex-army?
Or because your duty
is to serve as my secretary?
All of the above, sir.
I am nothing more than a mere soldier.
Well, that's not what I think!
Poverty, social polarization,
environmental issues
Nobody can solve those problems
because their common sense
always gets in the way.
It takes insanity to make
any real change in the world!
Our role in society is a shackle
that we should just break free from.
Besides, don't you think
that makes life more fun?!
"Fun"?
Why bother doing a job
that you don't enjoy?
Surely you've felt that way before.
Let's enjoy ourselves, Dilly.
Because we're gonna change the world!
It's all right.
Since even without AUZA
the world can definitely be changed
as long as you're still alive.
How idiotic.
His ambitions have already met their end.
A new era is here, and now the ninja
shall rule over everything.
I can't believe you lent an ear
to that fool's nonsense.
It wasn't nonsense. At least
not to me!
My time with him changed me.
And now I have faith!
I believe in the power of change
that he brings with him!
He provided everyone in our ranks
with power that transformed us!
It lit a fire within our souls!
And I'm positive
the same must be true for you,
Master Yamaji!
A perfected version of the Gusoku Gear
the "Mikado"!
That man didn't understand
how to wield power properly.
All of it should exist in the service
of the great ninja cause.
Ninjas have no emotion. No ego.
They are hollow.
Why did you help me?
I was exiled.
I let myself feel. Develop a personality.
The ninja code
that you instilled in all of us
I broke it.
Wasn't the code the be-all and end-all?
The code is
a curse upon the ninja
that shackles us all.
Our organization is ancient.
Long ago, we set out to take down
all the other syndicates who rivaled us.
We succeeded and conquered
the underworld,
solidifying our reign over Japan
from the shadows for many ages.
However
This assignment clearly does not require
the skills of a ninja.
I suggest that we reject it.
In reality,
there had come a point
where the country of Japan
began to distance itself from us.
There are other special forces teams
we can hire.
Why trust a shady organization like this?
I suppose it's only natural.
It didn't matter how much
new technology we adopted,
because we ninjas
have always fallen back on
the ancient code passed down
through the ages as our sole mainstay.
The end seemed inevitable
given enough time,
so I searched for a new path
that the ninja could walk down.
But
I struggled.
The code is all we have.
We're warriors who cast aside
our emotions
and any sense of self
to live as the shadows of Japan.
I just didn't know
what other path was feasible
That was when I realized,
I was nothing more than another
aging ninja who was trapped by the code.
Growing desperate,
I chose to disguise myself and
began to observe the organization
in search of answers.
And that's when,
I came across your loving hearts.
Is something the matter?
I can sense a wavering
along with a calmness.
Huh?
Within your heart, I mean.
There are waves within the heart
that affect the body.
Yours are quite warm
which is peculiar for a ninja.
Peculiar for a ninja? Is that so?
Although it's especially true of you,
there are others who I've noticed
exuding similar waves.
Two of them, to be exact.
There is nothing wrong with one
who values their comrades.
However, I get the impression
your bonds run much deeper.
In time, you will
undoubtedly harbor emotions.
I'm not so sure.
Will you be reporting this to the chief?
No, I won't.
But continuing down this path
will lead you to tragedy sooner or later.
For those who break the code
are doomed to be hunted.
Are you ready to face that fate?
To be honest,
I don't know if I'm ready or not.
However
I don't want to simply
surrender my life to fate.
If I must follow something,
then I want to follow my heart.
The ninja of the distant past
were stuck living within a gruesome,
back and forth competition.
So I imagine this was a change
that never could have occurred back then.
It was a small push into the future
that was brought about
by the passage of time.
I kept watch over your group
as you followed your heart's desires.
"A ninja is more than just a warrior
who holds a blade.
They must let
their heart guide their blade."
At least that's what it felt like
you three were telling me.
But I watched Yamaji, too
and he had different thoughts.
He was also trying to find a way forward
for our ninja clan.
We ninjas have already proceeded
down a path to the future.
We shall no longer exist
to support anything or anyone.
We will walk a road where ninjas
can thrive as ninjas without dying out.
That is the way forward.
In our heart of hearts, every ninja
should desire peace above all else.
Yet the vision you have for the future
will surely result in many sacrifices.
That goes without saying.
But it's all for the ninja cause.
This will bring about
an even greater peace for us to cherish.
And in pursuit of that,
I won't hesitate to cast aside
everything that's deemed inessential.
Including emotion and ego.
You have let doubt consume you
and now serve no further purpose.
My indecision was
the answer I came up with.
I'm sorry, Yamaji.
What he ultimately settled on
was establishing an even stricter code.
For becoming completely
heartless is a path
that can only lead to
overwhelming power.
And thus, the future for the ninja
that I had hoped for
never came to bear any fruit.
I was killed by Yamaji
and he took control of the organization,
which promptly set everyone
down a path to the end.
How are you here if he killed you?
You know the old saying.
Cats have nine lives.
But I have lost
all my ninja abilities.
Therefore I am no longer able
to put a stop to him.
We ninjas are bound by
the cruel shackles of fate.
So please, I want you to use that blade
to cut us all free from them!
I will not fight for the ninja clan.
I wield this blade
for the sake of all the people
who gave me life again!
That was footage
of the disaster from last night.
The entire surrounding area
was devastated
and now the citizens of AUZA City
are gradually being evacuated.
Furthermore, the area
is dealing with
heavy electrical interference that
has blocked many communications
So, this is about the data
that Emma found, right?
Yep.
I'll take it.
If one of your buddies has it,
then tell me where they are.
I'll deal with them however you'd like.
Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
I know you'd just suppress it.
What do you want?
To arrest Joseph Evans.
I've decided against relying on
any other agents.
I want you to be the one
who turns the FBI on its head.
That's why I asked them to call you in.
It sounds like you're serious about this,
in which case you're an absolute moron.
Whenever powerful organizations collude,
the reasoning behind it
is always very complex.
It involves layers upon layers
of people who all reap
the benefits of the agreement.
And at this point,
the situation is so messed up
that my influence alone
won't be enough to resolve it.
Just give it up, Mike.
We're both veterans of the job.
I know you understand
how this stuff works by now.
Obviously.
Yet I'm here asking you
to take a stand regardless.
Just wait.
I made sure I'd have plenty of leverage.
Hm?
Urgent report from HQ.
What is it?
It appears that private AUZA data
has been leaked onto the web!
It includes detailed information about
the armed "ninja" organization that
AUZA has been secretly using and more.
Just as planned.
I told my buddy to upload it
if he didn't hear from me.
All you've done is dig your own grave!
I told you once already,
this won't be enough
to disrupt the balance of power!
Because of whatever "reasoning"
is behind all the collusion?
Then we'll just make a reason of our own.
A new one.
That's way bigger than all the rest!
The leak also contains
a list of collaborators!
It includes the records
of secret accounts
that various dignitaries
currently hold with AUZA Bank!
But it looks like some of the names
have been censored
If it wasn't already obvious,
the censored names
are the top brass of the FBI.
Oh, and one more
A certain big shot who must
be freaking out about now.
The Secretary of Defense.
She was allowing AUZA
to privately rent the ninjas
who are technically part of our military.
And there's no way in hell you guys
can let that fact be made public, right?
Are you trying to blackmail us?
The army and the FBI?
Yeah! So how about it?
Is that "reason" enough
for you to move your ass?!
I'm not backing down.
Working with you taught me
everything I know!
About true justice! That's why I'm here!
Risking my life for what's right!
And I know you still have
some decency left in you!
It's just that your passion
has burned down to embers, right?!
But I know that you've been searching!
Trying to find a way
to ignite those flames again!
Please.
Turn off the cameras.
You seriously just don't get it.
From my point of view right now,
the side that I chose is justice.
I'm not some kind of skeptical pansy
that you can win over
with inspirational speeches.
Learn to give me some credit.
I outrank you.
Still the same old hardhead, I see.
Yeah. This ain't the first time
we've butt heads
So let's decide this how we usually do.
Bring it!
What the heck?
After an online leak revealed
that the global conglomerate, AUZA,
made personal use
of a "ninja" military team,
the FBI have announced
they're issuing an arrest warrant
for AUZA's CEO, Mr. Joseph Evans.
However, Mr. Evans has been
reported as missing ever since
the disastrous collapse of the
AUZA headquarters the other day.
I just knew they'd try and cover
their asses, those damn ingrates!
Fine then.
Let that be the last stupid decision
they ever make.
Did they seriously think
that I'd just go down without a fight?!
I'm devastated right now.
It's so hard to watch you take
such short-sighted action against me.
Have you forgotten?
As it stands, the very fate of the world
as you know it rests solely in my hands.
All I have to do is overload
my AUZA reactors.
The damage of the ensuing explosions
will cover a 100 kilometer radius.
If you make the wrong choice here,
then this world will be ruined
beyond belief.
This is a recorded statement that was
sent only to the Secretary of Defense
and the top brass of the FBI.
It's more than just a threat, huh?
He's probably using this
as a distraction
so he can flee the country
in the meantime.
And that's not all.
Those bastards from HQ
have claimed joint control
over this case with our branch.
They've already mobilized
their own soldiers to hunt Joseph down.
What?! That's not good
Yeah.
They're probably going to
kill him to keep him quiet.
No response to
the warning we issued, sir!
They're proceeding
directly to the southeast!
Hurry and dispatch the drones!
Take those bogeys out now!
They disappeared!
What?! That's impossible
Mrs. Secretary!
We just got a report from the air force!
What did they say?!
Have they found Joseph?!
No, I'm afraid that
This is the start of a new world.
A world that's for the ninja
and by the ninja.
It shall be a place
free from greed and pride.
Where the unyielding horizon
that we ninjas have sought
since ancient times awaits.
You can find him in AUZA City.
He's there to prepare for the battle
against the only obstacle
that remains: you.
From this moment onwards,
we are our own masters.
All the blood and pain
that we ninjas have borne
shall give rise to an eternal peace.
