Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon (2020) s01e20 Episode Script

Hanyô no kakurezato

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!
So what are we up to today?
Where are you taking me, this far away?
I didn't take you anywhere.
You're the one who came along.
But where is this
Watch it, Setsuna! I'll fall off!
This is my
"The Hidden Village for Half Demons"
CAT DEMON -KIRARA
Hey, Setsuna.
Why are we this far into the mountains?
Going for a walk?
I'm just making my rounds.
That's why I said you didn't have to come.
So what on earth is here anyway?
There's nothing here.
That's how it's supposed to be.
What? What does that mean?
The earliest memory I have is
the view of a burnt-up forest.
You mean the one we were in?
So it's a memory from
after we got separated?
After that, I lived here for a while.
That was when we were
around four years old, right?
I'm sorry, I didn't know anything and I
I wasn't alone. I had Miss Shiori,
and there were other children, too.
Miss Shiori? Who's that?
This place is a hidden village
for half-demons that Miss Shiori made.
A hidden village?
After that fire
I couldn't do anything.
I just sat by the ruins.
But someone came for me.
Hey.
SESSHOMA RU'S TWO-HEADED DRAGON -A-UN
You there, little girl. Hop on.
What is it? You need not fear me.
Come now, jump on.
I was led by a voice
that I couldn't quite place
And I was taken to this mountain.
Survive and live!
-Who are you?
-Yeah, who're you?
-No humans allowed.
-No demons allowed.
-Say something.
-Yeah, say something.
You're a half-demon, right?
You're probably a half-demon.
-Half-demon?
-What's the matter?
-Oh, Miss Shiori.
-Miss Shiori.
My, a child
What's wrong? Are you okay?
I was told to give you this
Oh, dear
My child, you seem to be tied
to a strange destiny.
Welcome.
And Miss Shiori invited me in
to a hidden village inhabited
by half-demon children.
Miss Shiori was a half-demon
from the Demon Bat Tribe
with the power to create barriers.
She used her barrier to protect
the peace of the village.
-I'm Futa.
-I'm Raita.
-So what happened to your parents?
-Yeah, what happened?
I don't know.
That's a little sad.
My parents were killed by humans.
My parents were killed by demons.
But if you don't know,
then that's kind of a big deal.
Oh.
I got used to living there pretty quickly.
During the day,
we went out to gather food,
and at night, we hid.
I learned numbers
and how to read and write.
Miss Shiori.
Look what I got!
Miss Shiori, I got a lot, too!
That's amazing, everyone.
You all worked so hard.
Miss Shiori!
I brought it down.
And I caught it.
Both of you are amazing.
SETSUNA
At times, I would receive items
addressed to me.
-What's that?
-Yeah, what is it?
"Cut the wind."
For some reason,
I trained following those orders.
SETSUNA
"Cut water."
Cut the water?
Can it be cut, though?
-It's impossible, right?
-Impossible.
Humans would never stray this far
into the mountain,
but sometimes demons
would make their way here.
Most of them would give up and leave,
barred by Miss Shiori's barrier.
The really persistent ones
would wait for us to emerge.
With those demons,
we worked together to take them down.
Eat this! Wind Scythe!
Eat this! Thunder!
Scourge of Swallows!
We did it!
We all worked well together, but
Miss Shiori always seemed sad.
She understood that
we had to kill these enemies,
but deep down, I think she wished
for the world to be different.
In a forest in the east,
a half-demon child is suffering all alone.
I'd love it if they decide to come here.
I had been living here for six years
when a certain letter arrived.
THE VILLAGE WHERE YOU WERE BORN
Setsuna, it says here that you are to
return to where you were born.
You'll be living there from now on.
No. I like it here.
Half-demons are able
to live among humans, too.
If you have a place to live a life,
it's not a bad idea to get to know
human society as well.
Go and live in the village
where you were born.
I ended up in the village
where Priestess Kaede lived,
but not for very long.
There was something
I realized after beating up some bandits
who were pillaging the area.
Y-You bastard!
She's a monster. Run for it!
Setsuna, that's enough.
Setsuna!
H-Help me!
Setsuna, stop it!
If we don't kill them,
they'll just come again.
I don't want you to go through such things
when you're still so young.
I am a half-demon.
Setsuna?
I'm returning to my village.
Miss Shiori welcomed me back
without asking any questions.
My friends were happy
that I was back, too.
I returned to my peaceful days
at the village,
and I thought I would stay there
for the rest of my life.
But
Miss Shiori is also a half-demon.
There are times
when she loses her demon powers.
In other words, her barrier disappears.
A demon named Gaga Gozen planned
for that day, and appeared before us.
Gaga Gozen?
Miss Shiori is also a half-demon.
There are times
when she loses her demon powers.
In other words, her barrier disappears.
A demon named Gaga Gozen planned
for that day, and appeared before us.
Gaga Gozen?
This happened three years ago.
-Setsuna.
-Yes?
Soon I'll lose my demon powers.
I only hope that nothing happens.
Miss Shiori!
-Some samurai are here!
-Yeah, they're here.
Samurai?
-Lord Gaga, is it this mountain?
-Yes, there are a lot of half-demons here.
That's what I heard. Many demons have
come here searching for half-demons,
but they either couldn't find them
or have been taken down.
Just who do you think I am?
They couldn't find them because
they're all a horde of brainless idiots.
I've looked into it, though.
All the demons that got taken down?
They weren't strong enough.
I've eaten a hundred samurai,
and I've grown tired of eating them.
It's time to stuff my belly
full of delicious half-demons.
Miroku, we can't defeat them
with just the two of us.
We should go back and get help.
He's bad news.
That demon has already eaten
a hundred samurai.
We'll look for an opening and
slay him as quickly as possible.
We can never see eye to eye, huh
They look like samurai,
but they're all demons.
You can tell?
My nose works better than yours.
-They all smell like demons.
-What should we do?
If demons come here,
then it's to eat or kill us half-demons.
But Miss Shiori won't be able to
use her demon powers.
This is bad.
If they knew that and came here
That's pretty annoying.
Behold!
The one who produces this barrier loses
their demon powers during a solar eclipse.
Amazing as ever, Lord Gaga.
Now then
-Wind Scythe!
-Thunder!
This naginata is the infamous
Kanemitsu no Tomoe.
Your dull knife is no match for it.
What's the matter?
Gaga Gozen, steel yourself!
That man
Eat this! Thunder!
-He's the last one.
-Get him!
Miroku! See, what did I tell you.
-Setsuna, let's get him.
-Yeah, come on Setsuna.
Damn half-demons!
Everyone, over here. Hurry! Are you okay?
I wonder if you can stomach my poison fog!
Damn you!
-Setsuna!
-Setsuna!
Now, you stay down.
I'll save you for later.
Look at you half-demons,
you all look absolutely scrumptious!
-Wind Scythe!
-Thunder!
Such nonsense.
Now, which one shall I eat first?
Please stop it!
Why don't I start with you, then?
Little girl.
Do you think you, a mere half-demon,
can defeat me, Gaga Gozen?
You damn worm!
-You did it!
-Setsuna!
Wait, Setsuna.
Your demon blood isn't settling down.
If you cannot quell it
Go away!
Die, die, die!
Die!
Oh, no.
Setsuna, stop! Please!
Calm down, Setsuna. Please.
That's it Take deep breaths.
Miss Shiori!
Pardon!
Setsuna? Setsuna?!
Are you okay, Setsuna?
Um, what you just used
didn't kill her, right?
It did not. This is a sedative
used by demon slayers.
It's especially effective for Setsuna,
with her keen sense of smell.
Thank goodness.
I'll apply a seal
that will suppress her demon blood.
This naginata will act as the medium.
Let's begin.
On meeting an arhat, slay the arhat;
on meeting your parents,
slay your parents
Know that the light
to your path lies there.
This should be good for now.
Setsuna has inherited demon blood
that is too powerful
for her half-demon body.
Um, you're Monk Miroku, aren't you?
I am. And I'm glad
you're in good health, Lady Shiori.
You grew up so beautifully, too.
Is your mother here as well?
No, she passed away
An illness overtook her.
Such is the fate of humans, I'm afraid.
Some time after Monk Miroku left,
Miss Shiori told me to leave the village.
Setsuna. You are no longer so weak
that you have to live in hiding.
Live in the outside world,
for your own sake.
-Setsuna, take care!
-Yeah, take care!
Oh, you two will eventually
have to leave this village, too.
Setsuna is just leaving
a little earlier than everyone.
I don't wanna!
Setsuna, if you ever meet
a half-demon child who's in trouble,
can you tell them about this village?
I will.
Okay. Off you go, then.
All right.
Back at Priestess Kaede's village,
I was invited to join the demon slayers.
I never knew that
Monk Miroku was Hisui's father.
So that naginata
was a spoil from a battle, huh?
It's a human-made piece.
I've been using it with appreciation.
It's also my seal for my demon powers.
You sure did a lot of talking today.
Why's that?
Because Miss Shiori told me that if there
was a troubled half-demon child,
I'm to tell them about this village.
What do you mean?
I'm not troubled,
and I'm not even a child.
Geez.
Here it is. This is the mountain
where half-demons are said to be hiding.
They think they're so clever.
Let's just find them and eat them.
My horns!
You think you're so clever.
If you ever come here again,
death will be a sweet thing.
Bastards like them still manage
to make their way here.
Although I hope things
can quiet down a little.
Setsuna. You've been doing
this for a while, huh?
Sometimes. When I have time on my hands.
Because to you, this place
is one of your precious homes, right?
Kirara.
Thank you, Setsuna.
