Kaijin!
Here and now, by the power of the four gods...
...seal the evil demon Tenkou away!
REKKA... SHI NEN!!!
Not like this...
My ambitions... My ambitions will not be ended like this...
I will not be sealed away like this!
Get lost!
What do you mean?
I'll explain.
There are seven Jewels of Memory in all.
So far, two have been returned to Tamahome.
Mine and Chichiri's.
Exactly. Because you're both still alive.
However, Hotohori and the others...
...haven't been able to be reborn into the forms they desire.
All because an evil demon's life force is interfering with it.
Interfering...?
A demon's power?
So, what happens if we can't find the stones?
If we don't find them, it's still okay.
...but if the demon somehow obtained them before us, then...
And if... If he does get the stones, then...?
If he remains without his memories...
...and the demon's power increases...
...then Tamahome will disappear.
I'll... disappear...?
Huh?! What the...?!
It's an earthquake!
Mt. Taikyoku is...!
Taiitsukun! What's happening?!
This much... He's gathered this much power now...?
Taiitsukun!
Miaka!
MIAKA!!!
Miaka! That was close. You okay?
She's not breathing...
H- Hold on here! Miaka! Wake up!
Wake up, Miaka!
All right. You didn't swallow too much water.
Miaka...
Dammit, Chichiri, don't scare me like that!
Oh... Chichiri...
We're safe now, you know?
Miaka!
Taka!
Miaka! Guys! Are you okay?!
Yeah, I'm fine.
Where are the others?
Scattered around a bit, but okay.
Taiitsukun used her holy power to fly us out of there.
From inside that explosion...
Mt. Taikyoku's covered by dark clouds and looks terribly different now.
So, where are we now?
Lake Taichi in Konan.
Miaka... To you and the Suzaku Seven, I leave this task.
The palace... Let's get to the palace.
First of all, we have to find those jewels.
We can't let some demon beat us!
Miaka...
Well said! You're right, you know? Tasuki!
Right, leave this to me!
We won't solve anything just standing around here.
Uh, Tasuki? Since when have you been able to swim?
- Election Results - President - Ren Shigyou Vice-President - Yui Hongo
Was this your doing?
Whatever do you mean?
Don't play dumb. Why'd you make me vice-president?
But you were running for it, weren't you?
I see. Asking you is pointless, isn't it?
Miss Hongo...
It's getting dark. Why don't I walk you home?
Goodbye.
That was a close one!
Not hurt, are you?
Please be careful.
Wouldn't want you to be devoured by a blue dragon again, would we?
You...!
Who are you?!
I'll tell you. My name is Renhou.
And your friend...
...is my enemy.
M- Miaka...
We're here, you know?
Damn, it's been too long!
It hasn't changed a bit!
The war two years ago is becoming ancient history to the people here.
Holy...! It looks just like ancient China!
Jeez, same old amateurish shock reactions...
Miaka!
Nyan-Nyan!
She... She's flying!
You're all right!
You're safe, too, Nyan-Nyan!
I didn't see you at Mt. Taikyoku, so I was worried!
Wha... What is that?!
This is really inconvenient.
Can't you get some more of your memory back?
Oh! Lord Chichiri!
Lord Tamahome! Oh, even the Priestess of Suzaku!
Prime Minister! It's been so long, you know?
Lord Tamahome!
Oh, and Lord Tasuki, too.
Just noticed me?
Stones? Stones, you say?
Yes, sir. Right now, they're the only clue we have.
I see. I'll inform everyone and begin a search immediately.
You there!
Sir!
In any case, Lord Chichiri, if you're not in too much of...
...a hurry, won't you all stay here a while?
Huh? Here? You mean in this palace?
Yes. We've been working our hardest to rebuild the nation since the war...
...but one thing still saps the strength of our people.
His Highness's death.
Konan still lacks a leader who can be a bridge to the future.
What about Lady Houki? That woman who looked like Nuriko.
Right... After giving birth to the crown prince...
...the empress fell ill...
...and hasn't spoken a word for a year and a half.
Ayear and a half...?
Minister! Where is Lady Houki? Please let us visit her!
Lady Priestess... Thank you so much.
But before that...
...can we eat this?
She's in here.
Lady Houki?
Hotohori...
I can't even touch her...
A broken heart. She couldn't stand the grief of losing Hotohori.
She loved him so very, very deeply.
Houki... Forgive me.
We should leave them alone for now, you know?
So, this is where His Highness ended up.
It was Taiitsukun's power.
The others were sent back to their homes, too.
I see. That's a relief.
Oh, well. We'd better find the rocks for this loser.
Sorry about this...
Chichiri, can you find them?
This is one thing I can't use my powers for, you know?
Oh, well, then I guess we'll search one room at a time.
Oh, no! You mustn't go that way!
That looks painful.
You little rock-headed brat!
Prince!
You cute li'I devil. Don't tell your dad I said that, okay?
Prince? Then you mean...?
This is His Highness's son.
No way!
He sure is cute.
So, he's Hotohori and Houki's son...
Come, Highness, let's go back to your room.
I promise I won't try to take your doll again.
I gave that doll to your daddy before.
Don't worry, I won't take it. What's your name?
See? You wanna smack his head too, right?
Priestess of Suzaku, it's no use.
Prince Boushin will not speak one word.
It's just like with his mother, as though his mouth has been sealed.
He seems to understand our words, but...
What are you saying?!
Hotohori, don't pop out like that!
Can't you see it? It's me!
He looks like I did as a baby. The lovable intelligence.
The obvious wit and grace, and yet...!
- Oh, you've gotta be kidding. - What a narcissist!
Everyone! Get away from that doll!
What the hell...?!
It's a monster, you know?!
Miaka!
No, don't! Boushin, stop this!
Highness, please drop the doll!
Can't... use my holy power!
No good! I can't use my powers without hitting the prince!
Can't use my fire, either!
BOUSHI N!!!
His Highness!
He's possessed him!
Tasuki?
Thanks.
No prob. What else was I gonna do? Now get off! You're heavy!
Right... Sorry.
Tasuki's really been saving you admirably on this trip.
He even kissed you back at the lake, you know?
It's called artificial respiration!
Well, we're safe, thanks to you, Your Highness.
Yes. The monster has been destroyed with the holy sword.
I'm a bit shocked myself at being able to do this.
That's great, Hotohori! You're a real father.
Hotohori, where are you going?
Houki!
Boushin...?
Houki...
Can't you see? It's me!
Highness...
Highness! Highness!
Houki...
Highness... It really is you.
Yes, Houki.
And it's my fault for leaving you and Boushin behind...
...and filling you with grief.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
Oh, Highness... I missed you so much.
Jewel of Memory?
That's right. Without them, Taka... Tamahome will disappear.
Now that you mention it...
I always thought it was just an illusion, but...
You thought what was just an illusion?
Yes... It was just before I gave birth to my son.
I saw a shining light blue stone appear before my eyes.
It gently entered my womb.
I remember how warm it was...
Just after that, when our son was born...
...the warmth passed out of me.
I thought it was a hallucination brought on by labor.
Is it with him?
You mean...
The jewel is I NSI DE him?!
All right! Leave this to me!
C'mon! Out! Spit it out!
Chichiri! Hit him from above!
With His Highness possessing him, he'll be all right!
R- Right!
WHAT ARE YOU DOI NG TO MY SON?!
Chichiri, how could you agree with that asinine plan?!
And what did I ever do to you...
...to make you put a stone in my son, Tamahome?!
I didn't put it in him!
Excuse me.
I've come to give the prince his food.
Right! We'll discuss this later! Right now, my son must be fed!
Eat well, Boushin, and grow up quickly.
Now then, Your Highness, come here.
She isn't human!
One after another, they show up!
Outta the way, Tamahome! REKKA SHI NEN!!!
Did that get it?!
Not quite!
San... Zen... HA!!!
This thing's tough!
I'll handle this!
I won't allow you to lay one finger on my son!
NOW BEGONE!!!
Highness...
Houki... You can see me?
Yes, I can see you.
You see him, too, don't you, Boushin?
You know who he is.
Yes. That man is your father.
Boushin... My son...
Come to me.
Enter me.
Please, enter my body.
Unlike everyone else, I've only got half my memories...
...so there's plenty of room in here, right?
Tamahome...
I am in your debt, Tamahome.
Boushin...
Boushin, forgive me. I am... I am a terrible father.
I can't be here at you or your mother's side.
But you are both always with me in my heart.
Boushin... Grow up quickly, my son.
Become a strong and noble man.
And then, as much as I did...
No, more than I did, love your people.
Become a great leader who will build a world of peace.
And protect your mother as a son should.
I know you will be able to.
You are... my most... precious treasure...
Pa... pa...
Boushin...
Boushin, you just... What did you just...?!
Pa... pa...?
Boushin...!
Pa... pa...
Boushin...
Papa!
What's...?
TheJewel of Memory... From inside this boy...
What's this...?
Yes, Tamahome. Even the power of the kodoku...
...was no match for the love you and Miaka share.
The strength with which you protect Miaka...
...comes from your love for her... and your gentleness.
Thank you for lending me your body.
Your Highness...
Isn't it great, Taka?
We got the third jewel.
Yeah. I remember that time in the rain, Miaka.
What the...?!
It's Suzaku!
They've been surrounded by the power of Suzaku!
They're going back to the other world?
Miaka...
Everyone! I promise we'll come back!
We'll find the fourth jewel. I promise!
Lord Rokou? Lord Rokou!
It might be a dream.
That I can protect all the things I love.
But isn't believing that all right?
You have to do all you can to be sure.
What's important can really be hard to see...
...but I think only your heart will know for sure.
If the pain of feeling down and sad that I can't reset...
...only causes me pain, it'll make me so lonely.
It's just the nature of life for...
...flowers and grass on the ground...
...to reach up and strain towards the sky.
Isn't it being a dream all right?
There's a shining world waiting...
...at the end of the tunnel.
And can't you decide after that?!
Try to make your loving feelings known.
The answers are buried deep in your heart...
...where your tears are born.
Light and dark exist in the same heart...
...awaiting the next choice from you.
Don't let it end as a dream!
Bring happiness to the one you love.
And isn't it wonderful?!
Try to embrace fully all your tears.
The Suzaku Seven? I see...
You were the ones who killed Ryuen.
Brother! Brother, you have to help us!
I won't give this jewel to anyone.
If you want to take it, then you'll have to kill me!
I'll do it.
Nuriko! NO!!!
Mysterious Play-ing around!
Number one!
Miaka! That was close.
She's not breathing...
Hey, don't feel so bad.
" MIAKA'S GRAVE" Sure! There's plenty of girls who are cuter than her, you know?
" MIAKA'S GRAVE" Hey, that's right!
" MIAKA'S GRAVE" I'll kill 'em!
Number two.
Oh, Miss Touma. That's no good.
It's all right, though. I'll just tell them that Ms. Kyouda did it.
You...! You'd make an enemy of Ms. Kyouda, too?!
Why not? I'm not scared of her.
Oh, you are SO dead!
Number three.
Boushin, I'm a terrible father.
Even though you and your mother were here...
...I ran around with all sorts of other women!
All those times I said I was out for recording sessions or radio shows...
...I was doing the wildest shit. I mean, just the other day...
Ow!
