Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (2020) s01e16 Episode Script

1
BOUNTY HUNTER – MOROHA
I guess I'll tell you two the story.
HALF-DEMON GIRL – TOWA HIGURASHI
DEMON SLAYER – SETSUNA
This happened three years ago.
I was still a kid who didn't know
my left from my right.
Moroha.
MOROHA'S MASTER, WOLF-DEMON – YAWARAGI
What is it, Master?
Deep within this cave, the crucible of
Kodoku will soon fulfill its vow.
The crucible of Kodoku?
It's a spell of Fuko used in Onmyodo.
Within this cave, there are hundreds
of demons fighting against each other,
and the last surviving one will become
known as Kodoku, the strongest demon.
And?
Could it be that you
want me to go in there?
That's right. Go in, throw
yourself into that battle, and survive.
If you emerge victorious, as a
symbol of completing your training,
I'll reward you with
my prized Kurikaramaru.
You'd give me Kurikaramaru?
It's been three years
since I was entrusted with you
from the Chief of the Wolf-Demon Tribe.
This will be your last lesson,
and your training will be complete.
"Double-Edged Moroha"
I'm at my limit.
I have to use this.
I forbid you to use your rouge.
Why can't I? I'm still just a kid.
If I'm fighting the Kodoku demons, then
I can't win unless I become Beniyasha.
It's not about winning.
It's much more important to be
able to maintain yourself in battle.
Don't hesitate! You can win,
just use your creative imagination.
What the heck is creative imagination?
Do you understand?
You cannot use your rouge.
All right, all right, Master.
You're the only one left. I
will be the one to leave this cave.
Hey! Maybe we could talk about this.
How about we work
together and get out of this cave, huh?
You're joking, right? Work
together? And you call yourself a demon?
Hold on. I smell human blood from you.
Yeah, I'm a quarter-demon.
What?
There's no way a measly quarter-demon can
be fine with all this demon energy.
That's 'cause I have spirit
power that can purify demon energy.
Ridiculous.
A quarter-demon with spirit power?!
Why mix an impurity like that into
the crucible?
Hey, demon gambling
house bookie, what's going on?
The Kodoku will get muddy.
Why don't you shut up about the details?
Blades of Blood!
You're wide open.
Sorry, but I really
can't take much more of this.
That's why I said we should work together.
You should listen to
people's advice, you know.
Well, see ya. Hope you live a good life!
Hup!
I somehow won.
Master? Master Yawaragi?
You're kidding me, right?
You threw that child
into the crucible of Kodoku?
Yes, I did. She has a
fifty-fifty chance of surviving.
If you sealed her rouge,
then her chance of winning is
twenty, maybe ten percent.
However, I suppose
this would be good training.
Moroha is a quarter-demon born
between a half-demon and a human.
If she were full-demon
no matter what crisis came her way,
she'd be able to keep her heart,
and she'd never lose her sense of self.
Of course, Moroha is different.
When she is
cornered and her life is in danger,
her great demon's blood will
take over, and she'll transform.
However, just like the meaning of
her name, she's a double-edged sword.
The more she transforms,
the more her heart will disappear.
She'll turn into a
monster that only fights.
So that's why you used the rouge
and sealed away her great demon blood.
Originally, the seal was something
her mother, Lady Kagome, had applied,
but I taught her how to dispel the
seal by transforming into Beniyasha.
But that girl has been using the
rouge without knowing about any of this.
Truly troublesome indeed.
Looks like I won.
If you could kindly hand that over.
However, Lady Yawaragi,
for you to sell off your esteemed
pupil in a gamble for just three ryou
In order to train her to
maintain her sense of self,
I had to put her
through the crucible of Kodoku.
The only way to do that was to
go through the demon gambling house.
And now you only have two ryou left.
I'm in a tough spot.
I need to get this Armor of the Iron-rat
off of me as soon as possible, too.
How much more will it cost?
According to an old armor dealer,
a blacksmith rat can make a key to
remove it, but it would cost twelve ryou.
I see. Then this corpse dealer can
There you are, you old hag!
Oh, Moroha. You managed to get out, huh?
Shut up! Why the hell
didn't you wait for me back there?
Did you seriously sell me off
to the demon gambling house?
Can you blame me? I needed
seed money to play some sugoroku.
I've had it with your gambling problem!
Our master-pupil relationship ends today.
I've finished my training,
so let me have Kurikaramaru.
Your demon power
hasn't gotten stronger at all.
You didn't absorb the
Kodoku's powers after defeating it?
Well, I sure as hell won that battle.
But who would ever want to
absorb powers from such a gross demon?
You're pretty amazing to have
escaped from the crucible of Kodoku.
Hey old man, who're you?
I'm Corpse Dealer Jyubei. I
deal in demons' bounties.
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Master Yawaragi.
Wait, we're not master-pupil
anymore. I don't need to be formal.
Hey, Yawaragi.
Hand over Kurikaramaru, or
we're gonna have to fight it out!
Now hold on, child.
What do you say? Lady Yawaragi,
how about I pay for the child?
Pay for me?
For pulling out of the gambling
house, for the Armor of the Iron-rat key,
and for what you
lost in our sugoroku round.
How does fifteen
ryou sound for all of that?
-Sold!
-W-Wait, sold?
However, please hand
Kurikaramaru over to Moroha.
That's a sacrifice I'll have to make.
That's all of it.
Right. Farewell, Moroha.
Wait! Hey!
Moroha.
As of today, you've been hired for fifteen
ryou to this corpse dealer, Jyubei.
You will return that
debt through bounty hunting.
What?! Why do I have to be the
one to pay back that money to you?
You're kidding me, right?
Would you rather go
back to the gambling house
and continue to fight in
the crucible of Kodoku forever?
If you don't want to do that, then make
this bounty hunting trade your business.
All right, fine, old man.
It's Mr. Jyubei.
Fine, Mr. Jyubei.
It's been three years.
It's been a while
Yawaragi.
You're still wearing
the Armor of the Iron-rat?
You couldn't find the blacksmith rats?
Well, it took a long time, but I
found the blacksmith rats' hidden village.
Then, why?
I found the village, but
everyone had been slaughtered.
As you know,
my Armor of the Iron-rat and
your Robe of the Fire-rat were created
in a blacksmith rats'
workshop deep in the mountains.
However
How cruel.
You can't find it?
Isn't this what you're
looking for, Yawaragi?
Was this your doing?
Rats are useless
creatures with no discipline.
I didn't need to kill them,
but I thought I might as well.
You might as well?
Oh, that's right.
I hear the Armor of the Iron-rat
you're wearing shrinks as years go by.
A cursed piece of armor that, in the end,
shrinks to the size of a rat and
crushes the wearer's body to pieces.
Who are you?
I serve Lord Kirinmaru.
My name is Konton of the Four Perils.
Konton.
However, we are currently Two Perils.
Do you know anything
about the one who defeated
one of the Four Perils, Tokotsu, and
stole the Red Rainbow Pearl from him?
I think you might be surprised.
It was Moroha, your beloved former pupil.
Moroha?
You can have the key to that armor of
yours,
but only in exchange for Moroha's head.
If you refuse, I shall
break this key right here.
Why don't you do it yourself? Why ask me?
I thought I'd offer Tokotsu the
entertainment of a master-pupil showdown.
Oh, no. So Konton's showdown is
Disgusting.
I'm fine with that.
Besides, I don't feel any
kind of gratitude towards you at all.
Let's give them a
showdown, just like they want.
That's good. And that's why
you were worthy of being my pupil.
No need to help me. This is a
fight between me and Yawaragi.
I hear you've mastered
the Crimson Dragon Wave.
But how powerful is it
coming from a quarter-demon like you?
Why don't I just show you?
Crimson Dragon Wave!
Moroha.
She stopped it! A
brute force attack won't work.
Then try this. Sacred Arrow!
How ridiculous. With spirit power
this weak, you can barely call it sacred.
Heavenly Arrow Barrage!
Take this.
I'm helping you.
Yeah, I can't just stand and watch.
You can't! This is
between me and Yawaragi.
So you'll begin destroying the lands.
You fool! You continue to lose your
own heart because fear overpowers you.
Didn't I teach you to
overcome that weakness of yours?
Shut up! This is my power!
If you're only good for fighting,
then you're a monster, not a demon.
If you don't carry your fear,
then your body and heart feel no pain.
You won't be able to
understand your opponent's pain, either.
A monster like that
has no right to live!
Moroha!
Wait, she's trying to
teach Moroha something.
Go ahead and use your rouge.
But remember, once you
do, you're nothing but a puppet.
Without the rouge, I
can't win against Yawaragi.
A pitiful fool you are. A
quarter-demon, an incomplete existence.
With you, hope will
never see the light of day.
You haven't changed, not
a single bit since you were little.
Since I was little
Moroha, you cannot use your rouge!
WOLF-DEMON TRIBE'S NATURAL ENEMY –
BIRD OF PARADISE
She's right.
I haven't changed at all since then.
Moroha, don't use your rouge!
Moroha.
Damn, it called its friends.
Looks like you're in trouble.
Who're you?
Just an armor dealer passing by.
I saw that girl wearing
the Robe of the Fire-rat,
so I thought I'd recommend
this Armor of the Iron-rat to you.
More defense, and more demon power!
With this armor, the
Birds of Paradise are nothing!
All you have to do is place this
key in the keyhole on my back here.
Hurry, hurry. The armor
will mold to fit you perfectly.
Needs must, I guess.
Thanks for your business.
What is
Oh thank goodness. My
body was about to be crushed.
What's going on?
You'll have to pay a handsome sum and
get a new key made to take off that armor.
And make sure you have someone
else unlock it, like how you did just now!
It was cursed armor?
My power's surging. It's the armor, huh?
Scattering Winds!
That's right.
The armor, the scars on her
face they're all because of me.
Your Scattering Winds was really cool.
I see, were you recalling that moment?
I won't use the rouge.
Defeating you by
letting the demon take over
won't actually mean that I beat you.
Well said. Let's move
on to the last stage, Moroha!
Last stage?
I'm going to use my
Scattering Winds. Are you ready?
I'll thoroughly enjoy the moment
you kill your pupil with your own hands
Then, this key will be all yours.
Oh, you'll enjoy it all right.
Go ahead and do it!
Moroha, this is the end. Put
everything you have into this moment.
All right, I'll try!
This is it.
Scattering Winds!
Don't hesitate! You can win,
just use your creative imagination.
What's happening?
Crimson Dragon Wave!
Well done, Moroha.
What are you
This is the end of the
master-pupil showdown you wanted.
Feel it with your flesh.
You fool.
What?
Yawaragi!
The Blue Rainbow Pearl
was helpful. As for this
Damn you. Scourge of Swallows!
We'll meet again, half-demons.
He got away.
Another strange spell.
Master Yawaragi.
Well done, Moroha.
That was the Crimson Backlash Wave.
If I've taught you that,
then I have no more regrets.
Master Yawaragi!
Have strength in your heart, Moroha
Master Yawaragi!
No
Master Yawaragi
Master!
I wonder who I am.
I'm not a demon. I'm not a
human. I'm not even a half-demon.
There was no place for
me, and I had nowhere to go.
That's why I always ran around by myself
and went about making all sorts of noise.
I didn't know any other way to live.
I feel like it's pure luck
that I've survived up to this point.
And I have to keep living as
an incomplete quarter-demon.
You might be right.
However, you can
always change the way you live.
No matter what you do,
how you want to live is up to you.
I guess so.
Come on, cheer up, Moroha. None
of us are alone anymore, right?
Yeah.
That's right.
Somehow, before I knew
it, these two were by my side.
So
this is okay, right, Master Yawaragi?

demon who's been eating virtuous monks.
But we end up falling into Konton's trap!
Towa, cut me with your katana.
What? Why? I can't do that!

valley go? What's going on?!
Enter through the gate of
opening, and end at the gate of death.
