You haven't noticed yet?
You're already dead.
What happened?
Hana-kun?
Can you win against him, Hana?
Byakkô
Over Soul: White Swan
Okay, Amidamaru Let's teach him how to fight.
Experience. Technique. Knowledge. Wisdom.
When all of those become one,
then your soul will become powerful at last.
And, you still lack something vital...
Something... I'm lacking...?
Without it, you'll never be able to beat me.
Hana.
Don't take a life of imitation
I want to stay true to myself
Can't stop the wheel of fortune
Woah Woah
Don't take a life of imitation
I want to stay true to myself
Can't stop the wheel of fortune
Ah!! Time just flashes by
I'm left behind to go around and around
I was living a lazy life
Before long, I'll grow old and wither away
I can't face that reality
Don't be scared to step up
We'll work it out!
Without doing anything
Before you give up
No one lives in solitude
Seek that light
Even if others are shining
Through the thorns and pain
Use that power to guide us to tomorrow
Finding that unseen path
Follow your heart and my soul
No matter...
What despair rains down on me
I don't care...
Towards the future...!
Reach out, Believer
Episode 10 "Island of Death Zero"
An airplane?
Where am I, anyway?
I died, then met Uncle Hao in the afterlife.
And then...
And, you still lack something vital...
Damn!
I'm sick of this!
Hey, you.
What are you doing over there?
You weren't going to hit that...
with those dirty shoes of yours?
What?
Sakutaro Sakurai.
I'm the pilot of that fighter.
Sakutaro Sakurai
You're dressed somewhat strangely. Are you a native?
I can't just let you leave now that you've seen my plane.
It'll be trouble if your parents come looking for you.
Life or death. The choice is yours.
Got it, kid?
You're seriously pointing a pistol at me?
Yowch!
You actually shot me?! I can't believe it!
You speak Japanese?
Of course I do. Why do you have a gun anyways?
You're a criminal. I'll kill you!
How pitiful.
To think a civilian like you is still around.
It's an insult to my fallen comrades.
Whatever.
I don't know what a kid like you is doing here...
but you better scram.
Don't tell anyone about my plane.
And keep your feet away from it.
Wait a minute! Where are we?
What are you doing here?
This is a small island in the south.
The enemy has started advancing.
But the war still rages on.
War?
Yes.
I'll fly away from here.
It's all I live for now.
Live for?
But you're already...
Damn!
An enemy fighter!
Luckily, it's ignoring my downed plane.
Of course, it's junk!
But it's possible they'll come to retrieve it.
We've got to hide it.
Help me, boy.
How do you move something like this?
The wheels are still good.
And it's lighter since it lost some of the fuselage.
Between the two of us, it should move.
Hurry up, boy. If the enemy comes back, we're dead.
Why the hell am I doing this?
And push!
Once more.
And push!
Tired already?
You're a scrawny kid.
Didn't you play any sports at school?
Don't talk to me about that cursed place.
Don't you like school?
That's no good.
In poor areas,
many children won't ever get to go to school.
Being able to go to school is a blessing.
Thank your parents and to go to school.
I want to talk about my parents even less!
Alright! Since you helped me, I'll teach you.
Hold on, why should I learn anything from you!
Take a seat.
Once you learn how to study, you'll come to love school.
You have to study while you're still young.
You have to make the most of the time you have.
That's the meaning of the Ninomiya Kinjirô statues at the school entrance.
What era are we talking about here?
First, arithmetic.
Multiplication. Tell me the twos-table.
Are you kidding me?
How long has it been...
The enemy shot me down in midair,
and I had to make a crash landing here.
Fortunately, my plane is still repairable.
Since then,
I've spent my days gathering parts from the island.
You've ended up being a great help. Thank you, boy.
I finally get it.
I'm still in the Great Spirit.
What?
Since you haven't noticed, I'll be blunt.
You're already dead.
Probably during your plane crash.
Impossible. I'm obviously alive right now.
Of course you'd say that.
You wouldn't be stuck here if you accepted the truth.
Tamao-kachan said this once.
When we die,
it's your soul that determines where you go.
Whether it's heaven or hell,
The world you end up in is nothing but your own heart.
Maybe it was Ryu who said that...
Doesn't matter.
This place is a commune for your soul and others like you.
It's the modern version of an Ashura Hell, like a Mini Ashura Hell.
Mini? An Ashura Hell?
Yeah.
It's one of six realms.
Those who spent their lives fighting,
are destined to repeat their battles eternally.
I think it's something like that.
That sounds pretty vague to me.
Shut up. It's not like I really studied this stuff.
Did your mother tell you these stories? Or does your family run a temple?
No, an inn.
An inn?
Never mind, that's not important.
How should I put this?
Shamans; The ones who connect the worlds of the living and the dead.
I'm the son of that lineage, Hana Asakura.
You probably don't get it, right? That's why we've changed our line of work.
You can't feed yourself just doing shaman work.
You're right, I don't get it.
But let's say that what you say is true...
and we're in a spirit commune...
Then...
You're in this Mini Ashura Hell as well?
Me?
Well, enough of this idle chatter. Let's eat and go to sleep.
It's risky to keep the fire burning.
It's too late now, but I'll walk you home in the morning.
I’m also a resident of this hell?
Come to think of it, he did say something like that...
That's hot!
Shit!
They've come to recover my plane.
It's the 82nd Infantry Division.
82nd Infantry Division
Mildcats
The Mildcats!
We don't stand a chance against them!
Run away, Hana-kun!
Not for sale/rent/streaming. Do not distribute after available for streaming or home media.
So...
About this...
...guy.
He's a corpse.
Things will get bad if we just leave him here.
Are we sure Hana-kun is really dead?
You're asking that now? He's not breathing anymore.
That doesn't mean much in our line of work, I guess.
But why are you standing with us like you belong here?!
It's obvious. I'm a member of Team Hao too.
He's right.
Each of the five legendary warriors received an elemental spirit.
The Spirit of Thunder was held by Tao Ren.
Juilong Baolei
Plus...
One of the leading forces of Shaman Fight, and the leader of the X-Laws...
Iron Maiden Jeanne.
A child was born from their union...
The Holy Boy...
The Holy Boy
Tao Men
Tao Men.
The Holy Boy?
Tao Men.
Bason and Shamash.
He's a shaman thoroughbred who inherited these spirits at age seven.
There's no way that god wouldn't choose him.
Even if,
he has personality issues.
Issues?
Alumi-san, what are you talking about?
Looks like he also inherited his parents' stubbornness and sentimentality.
But I'm sure you guys will understand what I'm talking about soon enough.
What a rude thing to say.
I get it.
You must be the team's director, Alumi Niumbirch.
Let me say this. Whether you accept him or not,
Hana is still the boss.
I understand how you feel, but that's just the way he is.
He's a stubborn fool.
But with this little trip, Hana will remember his true self.
He'll come back to us after he's matured a bit.
And that might change your mind about him.
What?
Now, will you help me carry Hana away from here?
It'll be a real pain if anyone sees us, and we've already got a car right here.
Oh, and also...
Yohane, gather up some of those mummy bandages.
Gakko, I need you to stuff Hana into the trunk.
Put the corpse in the inn's large icebox.
Hurry before he rots.
It'll be perfect to cool down his idiot head.
Roger, boss!
He'll rot?
But who's gonna be driving?
Those adults can handle that.
They're just passed out.
I'm not supposed to kill anyone.
After all... that's one of my parents' ironclad rules.
Mildcats?
Damn!
You can't let them find you, got it?
They're armed.
Well trained.
They're an elite troop.
And the most troublesome is that tank.
Don't look up.
It's got a 75mm cannon,
a 7.62mm machine gun,
and thick 76mm armor plating.
We don't stand a chance against it.
Run away, Hana-kun.
I'll...
be a diversion!
What's with him?
That's not how you avoid a fight.
And plus we're in a Mini Ashura Hell.
He probably fights for the hell of it.
Then...
You're in this Mini Ashura Hell as well?
That can't be right.
No one gets in fights for fun.
And definitely if you could die if you lose.
It's an insult to my fallen comrades.
That's true...
Nobody fights because they want to die.
Everyone has their own reason to fight.
Geez. So then why is he?
Guess that it.
I'll take care of this and hear what he's got to say for himself.
What's that?
A kid?
A katana? Where did he get that?
Stop!
Didn't you hear me? That's an elite troop!
I did listen.
And I know that I can fight using a stronger visualization than them.
We're inside the Great Spirit.
With that in mind,
you can make anything happen just by thinking about it.
Demon Helmet
Over Soul! Demon Helmet!
What's with that huge katana?!
Fighting an army? Big deal.
If he can do it...
then I sure as hell can, too!!
Fire!
It's a demon face?
Eat this!
Amida-ryu Shockwave Buddha-giri!!!
Amida-Style Shockwave
Buddha-giri
Perfect! You're next!
Hold the line. And attack!
You're next in line!
Retreat!
They'll be back to make life difficult for us.
Let's go!
Shinkû Buddha-giri!
Insane... This is a completely crazy.
This isn't real.
Does this mean Hana-kun was right?
Am I already...
No.
I'm not going to die.
That felt good.
How was it?
I guess you figured out this ain't the real world.
Why are you giving that face?
Hana-kun, did you kill them?
Like I've been telling you, they're already dead!
Then what am I?
This is war...
What became of the country that we risked our lives fighting for?
Is everyone living in peace?
I don't know much about war...
Earlier, you mentioned a movie.
War isn't a part of a movie.
It really happened...
I'm sorry, Chiharu.
But I need to go after all.
Yes, I understand, Sakutaro-san.
But please come back.
Yes, I'll use all my strength.
And come back alive.
I'll always be waiting for you...
What's the matter?
Hana-kun.
I'd like to ask...
for a favor.
At the bottom of the sea,
is my plane,
and my remains.
Can you take us home?
Drifting hope, a winding thread
I'll hand it over, only, to you.
Like stars begging for the sky at the end of their life
The two of us.
A road someone has traveled, even if you can't see what lies behind it,
Time latches on tightly to everything,
What rules cause and effect should be followed to get there?
I don't know. But, this land lies at the other side of the beginning.
The halation of the destiny is flickering.
The soul, -emotions-, change the path.
Ah, this is the flower that blooms.
Now, the heartbeat resounds.
Drifting hope, a winding thread,
I'll hand it over, only, to you.
To the very end of life, it flows,
What does it know?
Return, Reborn,
A world where it cannot remain, as it passes over it,
A love shines silently,
It will pass on the future -guidance-, to the next person, whoever it is.
