Mushishi Episode 26 ~FINAL~.en Subtitles

00:00:08,007 --> 00:00:11,When I was a child,

00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:16,I always wondered about
the people beyond the valley mist.

00:00:17,351 --> 00:00:21,They always appeared
before the May showers

00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:25,and disappeared around
when the storms ended.

00:00:28,696 --> 00:00:30,Hmm?!

00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:46,"The Sound Of Footsteps On The Grass"

00:00:58,058 --> 00:01:01,Young master!

00:01:01,662 --> 00:01:05,I thought you'd be here.
The master is calling for you.

00:01:16,677 --> 00:01:20,It's a beautiful shade of purple today.

00:01:20,681 --> 00:01:25,It just looks like white mist to me.

00:01:25,019 --> 00:01:25,You sure are an odd child.

00:01:25,352 --> 00:01:27,"Mushi-shi"
You sure are an odd child.

00:01:27,988 --> 00:01:29,"Mushi-shi"

00:01:33,074 --> 00:01:38,Oh? It's already that time
when those people come, huh?

00:01:38,412 --> 00:01:40,I guess I should get
the storm shutters fixed.

00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:47,Is it all right, Father, to let them
do as they please on our mountain?

00:01:47,088 --> 00:01:50,It's not a big deal.
They won't do anything bad.

00:01:50,758 --> 00:01:52,I heard that they've been
coming for a long time.

00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,They chat with the mountain
guards and that's about it.

00:01:58,099 --> 00:02:01,What exactly do they do?

00:02:01,035 --> 00:02:04,I don't know exactly
what they do for living,

00:02:04,705 --> 00:02:08,but they don't seem to request alms.

00:02:08,709 --> 00:02:12,That's why I've never meddled
in their business that much.

00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:18,They know a lot about foreign lands,
and people say they're interesting folk.

00:02:18,386 --> 00:02:22,But they're still very
mysterious to us, so...

00:02:22,056 --> 00:02:26,They might try to lay their
hands on the waterfall basin.

00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:29,Why should we begrudge
the wanderers some water?

00:02:29,397 --> 00:02:33,It's not as if they're routing the water
to rice fields like the villagers.

00:02:33,734 --> 00:02:37,But I don't like outsiders
coming in and out of there.

00:02:37,405 --> 00:02:43,Taku, our family's heir shouldn't
be saying stingy things like that.

00:02:43,077 --> 00:02:49,Just think of them as migratory birds.
Just let them do as they please.

00:02:58,092 --> 00:02:59,Hm?

00:03:03,697 --> 00:03:07,Hey, catch anything?

00:03:07,034 --> 00:03:09,The fish can see you from there.

00:03:13,374 --> 00:03:18,Don't take so many fish from here.
This is my family's mountain.

00:03:19,713 --> 00:03:24,Are you... the Guardian here?

00:03:24,051 --> 00:03:25,I'm the owner's son.

00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:27,Whoa...

00:03:30,391 --> 00:03:35,Ohh... the son of the Guardian?

00:03:35,396 --> 00:03:37,"Then I'll give them back."

00:03:37,731 --> 00:03:41,Or so I'd like to say,
but we want something to eat, too.

00:03:41,735 --> 00:03:44,Could you spare a fish per person?

00:03:46,740 --> 00:03:49,Well, I guess that would be okay.

00:03:49,410 --> 00:03:51,Thank you.

00:03:51,412 --> 00:03:55,I'll give the rest to the Guardian then.

00:03:55,749 --> 00:03:57,My name is Isaza of the Watari.

00:03:57,751 --> 00:04:01,I'll be staying here again for a while.
Pleased to meet you.

00:04:02,356 --> 00:04:07,You sure are a strange one, though...
A son of the Guardian who's bad at fishing...

00:04:09,363 --> 00:04:16,Oh my. You sure caught a lot today.
How should I cook them?

00:04:16,036 --> 00:04:17,What's with him?

00:04:17,738 --> 00:04:21,It's not always true that the son
of the mountain's owner is good at fishing.

00:04:34,054 --> 00:04:35,Wo-woah.

00:04:37,391 --> 00:04:40,Looking closely, they're all over.

00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:45,Hey, you liar.

00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:50,I heard from my grandpa. Your father
isn't the Guardian of this mountain.

00:04:50,404 --> 00:04:56,It's not a lie! My ancestors
bought this land little by little.

00:04:56,744 --> 00:04:58,Bought?

00:04:59,747 --> 00:05:02,Do you think that that makes
you the Guardian of this place?

00:05:02,349 --> 00:05:05,This is not a place with which
people may do as they please.

00:05:05,686 --> 00:05:08,We're not doing as we please.

00:05:08,355 --> 00:05:10,This is a special mountain, isn't it?

00:05:10,691 --> 00:05:14,The land in this area is fertile
because of this mountain,

00:05:14,028 --> 00:05:18,so my family has been
protecting it all this time.

00:05:18,032 --> 00:05:19,My father is the one who's preventing

00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,everyone from damming that waterfall
and routing it to the village.

00:05:24,705 --> 00:05:28,Were you told by a mushi-shi to do that?

00:05:28,042 --> 00:05:32,Hm? Yeah, I believe that was it.

00:05:32,379 --> 00:05:35,My ancestors were told
to do so by someone like that.

00:05:35,382 --> 00:05:39,They said that if we didn't,
the mountain would become sick.

00:05:39,053 --> 00:05:41,I see.

00:05:41,388 --> 00:05:45,So this mountain is to you too...

00:05:46,393 --> 00:05:49,Well... it's okay then.

00:05:49,730 --> 00:05:54,I was going to tell you to return the
fish from yesterday. Sorry about that.

00:05:54,401 --> 00:05:55,Later then.

00:05:55,736 --> 00:05:57,Wait.

00:05:58,072 --> 00:06:01,If you gave them to me because of some
misunderstanding, I'll return them.

00:06:01,342 --> 00:06:03,There's no reason for me
to take charity from you.

00:06:08,682 --> 00:06:10,Anything yet?

00:06:10,684 --> 00:06:13,Just wait a little longer.

00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:15,I already have today's catch,
so it's all right.

00:06:15,689 --> 00:06:17,I said wait.

00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,Say, what's this Guardian
you guys are talking about?

00:06:24,031 --> 00:06:28,It's that large catfish
in this waterfall basin.

00:06:28,702 --> 00:06:31,Who decided that?

00:06:31,705 --> 00:06:33,The mountain did.

00:06:33,874 --> 00:06:38,Those who are to become Guardians are born
with grass somewhere on their bodies.

00:06:38,212 --> 00:06:40,That's the marker.

00:06:44,051 --> 00:06:48,Then I've seen him before. It's that
large catfish with the grass on his head.

00:06:48,055 --> 00:06:50,Wow, I'm jealous.

00:06:50,391 --> 00:06:57,Th-then have you seen the mist become
colored and swell as if it were alive?

00:06:57,731 --> 00:07:02,Of course. This area is
the path of the light vein.

00:07:02,002 --> 00:07:03,Huh?

00:07:04,672 --> 00:07:08,The source of life runs through this land.

00:07:10,344 --> 00:07:14,It mixes with the water,
evaporates, and becomes mist.

00:07:14,682 --> 00:07:17,That's why the mist here has life.

00:07:19,687 --> 00:07:23,That's why its colour
and shape change by day.

00:07:24,358 --> 00:07:28,You can tell the condition of
the land by looking at the mist.

00:07:30,364 --> 00:07:31,Ah!

00:07:33,367 --> 00:07:35,Quickly, quickly! Don't panic!

00:07:35,035 --> 00:07:36,Shut up!

00:07:38,038 --> 00:07:40,I'm rather short, but...

00:07:40,708 --> 00:07:42,See you later.

00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:48,I told you a lot of things I know,
so next time, tell me something on your side.

00:07:48,382 --> 00:07:51,I don't know anything special.

00:07:51,385 --> 00:07:54,Just anything ordinary is fine.

00:07:54,054 --> 00:07:58,I find the things happening
in the village to be interesting.

00:08:10,003 --> 00:08:12,Why, if it isn't the young master, Taku.

00:08:12,339 --> 00:08:15,What's up? It's unlike you
to come to the parlour.

00:08:15,342 --> 00:08:19,I thought that I might be able
to hear something interesting.

00:08:19,346 --> 00:08:21,You came at the right time.

00:08:21,014 --> 00:08:24,I was just telling the master
about my travels.

00:08:24,685 --> 00:08:26,Please, have a seat.

00:08:29,690 --> 00:08:31,Is that true?

00:08:31,692 --> 00:08:37,Who knows? My uncle's stories
are always a bit exaggerated.

00:08:37,364 --> 00:08:44,Oh, and he also said he saw a strange kid
in the town two mountains to the south.

00:08:44,037 --> 00:08:47,He was about ten and had
white hair and green eyes.

00:08:47,374 --> 00:08:50,He was missing one of them.

00:08:50,377 --> 00:08:54,Hmm? Who could he be? A foreigner?

00:08:54,381 --> 00:08:57,He said it didn't seem like that.

00:08:57,050 --> 00:09:00,Hmm... two mountains to the south, huh?

00:09:00,988 --> 00:09:05,That's in the path we take.
I may be able to meet him.

00:09:05,659 --> 00:09:11,Oh, that's right. The rainy season
will end soon. When are you leaving?

00:09:11,665 --> 00:09:16,I don't know. My grandpa looks at
the mist every morning and decides.

00:09:18,338 --> 00:09:19,How?

00:09:19,673 --> 00:09:24,When it's bluish, the mountain's energy
is silent, so we can move swiftly.

00:09:24,011 --> 00:09:26,When it's reddish, it's the opposite.

00:09:26,346 --> 00:09:31,When it's golden, the mountain is in the
best mood, so that's the best day to depart.

00:09:31,685 --> 00:09:36,I see... How carefree it sounds...

00:09:39,693 --> 00:09:42,Are you jealous?

00:09:42,029 --> 00:09:46,My future is already decided.

00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:51,I'm going to live...
