Fushigi Yûgi - The Mysterious Play (1995–2002): Season 2, Episode 6 - Whirlpool of Doubt - full transcript

As the Lady Miaka
set out for Hokkan...

...before her appeared Soi,
one of the Seiryu Seven.

HAKUJIN-RAIHOH!

It was the holy sword
given to her by Hotohori...

...which saved them
from this crisis.

Attention all patrons.
The library is about to close.

Hey, Keisuke! What do
we do? Should we leave?

Not yet! We've got to
check this thing out!

Don't forget the book!

Hey! Where are you going?!

Where we won't be bothered!



Brr... It's so cold!

Where's Tamahome?

He headed off with
that nasty little kid.

What's wrong with Tasuki?

He got scared of Tasuki's face
while they were playing...

...and started to cry, you know?

HOW IS MY FACE SCARY?!

Whoa! Whoa! Just calm down!

They're probably in
the woods behind us.

Nuriko!

Bring him a blanket.

I'll go right now!

C'mon! C'mon! What's wrong?

You've gotta loosen up!



Don't you want to
learn how to ride right?

But...

If a man can't ride,
people will make fun of him!

You want that?

No way! I'm gonna learn
to ride, no matter what!

Good! That's the spirit!

Tamahome?

Miaka...

Okay, it's getting late.
You'd better get to bed.

See you!

Sure! See you!

You really have a way with kids.

Why do you think I started
hanging around with you?

Hey, I'm not a kid!

Well, to me you seemed
like a little sister.

I... I was scared...
I was so scared!

Oh, so you just think of me
like a little sister, huh?!

I did at first...

Then I realized I was
in love with you.

Tamahome...

After you summon Suzaku,
I want us to be together.

And you?

I also want to be
with you, Tamahome.

No, what I meant was WHERE
should we stay together?

I've been worried
about this for a while...

...but when I heard about
the Priestess of Genbu...

The Priestess of Genbu...

After she summoned Genbu,
did she go back to her world?

Tamahome?

Well, that's what they say,
but I don't know any details.

Will you go back to your world
After you've summoned Suzaku?

I don't know about your world,
and I can't go there.

But a priestess...
You can...!

Tamahome just exists in this book.

And I'm a person from the
real world outside the book.

I knew that...
but I didn't want to think about it!

I'm just a
middle-school student...

Just an exam candidate.

And my mother... My brother...

All my friends are there!

It's where I spent all
15 years of my life.

My real world...

But Tamahome
doesn't exist there.

I- I... I...

Don't go!

Don't go back there!

Stay with me!

Tamahome! We can't
do this! Let me go!

I don't want to!

Always... I'm always
worrying about it!

I don't want to lose you!

If I stay here, I give
up my old world forever.

But if I do it, I never
have to leave Tamahome!

I don't want to
leave you. I...

I'll stay here!
I'll stay here forever!

I'll give up my family,
my friends...

...the world I've
always known...

If I can just be here with you,
I can give it all up!

I want to live with you!

Above all, be careful!

We will! Thank you
for your hospitality.

Big Brother!

Hi!

I promise! I promise
I'll learn to ride!

Because then I can
ride to your country!

Okay, that's a promise, then.
We'll see each other again.

Goodbye, Mr. Scary-Face!

Should I punch the
little brat or not...?

Goodbye!

Nearly there! We have to
find the Shinzaho in Touran.

I'm sorry about
this, Yui, but...

No! For Yui's sake, too...

...I have to summon Suzaku as
soon as I can! I have to...!

It's your turn now, Ashitare...

Lady Yui and Suboshi
set out for Touran...

This is the land of your birth.

With that strength you have...

...find the Priestess of
Suzaku...and slaughter her.

So, this is Touran.

We finally got here!

I'm cold.

It's snowing!

Wow... It almost never
does this in Konan.

The weather's too nice there.

It's been so long...

In my world, it would
snow during the winter.

Wait! That's right...
I decided last night.

That, once I summon Suzaku,
I'm staying here in this world.

That I was going
to give up everyone...

My family and friends.

Well, then,
now where should we go?

Right now, we're at the city gates, you know?

We should split up and look for
any clues about the Shinzaho.

Since Chiriko's just
a kid, I'll go with him.

My pleasure!

Since Tasuki's such a hothead...

...the much calmer Mitsukake
should go with him.

What's that supposed to mean?!

And, naturally,
I go with Miaka.

What about Nuriko?

I'd prefer to go
with Miaka and Tamahome.

I have to protect you
in His Highness's place.

Hey, baby!

Oh, yeah, you're
a pretty one!

How's about you
share my drink with me?

Excuse me, but I'm
not that cheap!

Hey, baby! Maybe you
shouldn't go with Miaka.

Looks like there's plenty
of drunks around here.

Hey, lady!
Want a drink with me?

No kidding.

If seeing two girls here
brings out this many perverts...

...we're never going
to get anywhere.

Okay, I get it! I just have
to not look like a girl, right?!

What a waste...!

Nuriko, are you
sure about this?!

Now you can't
look like a girl!

It's all right.

I told you, it's time
I quit doing the gay act.

Besides, I can't have this
flapping all over the place...

...while I'm trying to
fight the Seiryu Seven!

The Seiryu Seven...

That's right. They may hit
us when we least expect it.

Exactly. The problem is finding
a way to all keep in touch...

...while we're split up looking
for the Shinzaho, you know?

I can't use magic, or the
enemy will be able to find us.

Yeah, that's a puzzler.

I have a great idea!

Hey! Don't scare
me like that!

What sort of
great idea, Chiriko?

These!

Fireworks?

They're signal flares!

If you find out anything
about the Shinzaho...

...just light one of
these off to let us know.

They can be seen from
anywhere in the city!

Touran...

I smell it... I smell
something delicious.

I smell the Suzaku
girl and her friends!

What was...? Was that a howl?

A stray dog...?

What is this? Why do
I suddenly feel like...

...something horrible is
coming closer to us?

Hey! Hey! Look!
Did you see this monument?

What is it?

Well, there's a carving
of Genbu on top.

You think there might
be a connection?

What is all that?

Those characters
look like worm-tracks!

Oh, excuse me!
Could you read this for us?

Oh, this? This is
the ancient writing...

...we stopped using
200 years ago.

Ancient writing?

The only people who can
read it now are scholars.

I know someone
who can read it.

Are you travelers?

You said there really is
someone who can read this?

Yeah. My father.

I can take you to him.
Follow me.

Let's take him up on that!

Hold it.
I wouldn't if I were you.

Everyone knows that man's
a good for nothing bum!

His father WAS a scholar,
but he's fallen on hard times.

You don't have to come.

I'll go!

Miaka, you stay here with
Nuriko and wait for me.

I'm going, too!

Nuriko, take care of Miaka!

Gotcha!

I hope he'll be all right.

You aren't cold,
are you, Lady Yui?

Yes, I am!

You don't have to be
so direct about it...

Nakago said
that we'd find clues...

...about the Shinzaho if we
searched here in Touran.

And that he was sending Ashitare
against the Suzaku Seven.

Have Miaka and Tamahome
arrived here already?

I heard from Nakago before.

About how that guy
rejected you. Was it Tama--

Lady Yui!

Lady Yui?

Hey! How much
further is it?!

We're here.

Yikes... I've got a
bad feeling about this.

You've got money, don't you?

I had a feeling it'd be like
this. So, you were lying.

I wasn't lying.

The guy drinking at the
table to my right is my dad.

You've traveled this far,
so you must have some money.

Now give it to me!

I see. Sorry,
but I don't have any.

I have to borrow some myself.

I see... Well, then,
you can pay with your body!

Y- You're into THAT?!
Sorry, but I like girls!

What are you talking about?!

Since you're just standing
there not taking me seriously...

...you'll pay the price
with a little pain!

That's how it goes.

Should have just done
what I said to begin wi--

Ooh, that felt good!
So, you done now?

Wh- Why, you...!

Wait!

You've lost, son!
And you, boy!

You don't seem like
the usual sort of...

...idiot treasure hunter
we get around here.

I'm sure.

Another second and I'd
have smashed his face.

For an understanding father,
I'll show some mercy.

Uh-oh...

It's nice to finally
be away from Suboshi...

...but now I'm lost!

Still, it's nice to
be alone for a change.

I see... You're one of
the Suzaku Seven, huh?

In that case, listen well!
This is what that monument says:

"This monument lies on the spot
the Priestess of Genbu appeared...

...who, with the seven stars,
saved our land forevermore."

"The Shinzaho lies hidden deep
within a cave atop Mt. Koku."

" He who opens the
cave must also be one..."

"...who does the will
of the 28 constellations."

The Shinzaho
is in Mt. Koku!

Miaka's going to
be so happy about this!

Yu...!

Tamahome!

What's taking
Tamahome so long?

What are you talking about?
He just left, didn't he?

Hey, Nuriko...

Don't you have any regrets
about cutting your hair off?

Never mind about that.
I thought having this hair...

...could make up for losing
my little sister, Korin.

Still, you look really cool
with your hair cut like that!

Oh? Haven't you ever
noticed how attractive I am?

Gee, you sure take
compliments quickly!

What are you implying?

What are you doing here?

Of course. You're after
the Shinzaho, too.

Relax. I'm alone right now.

Neither Nakago nor
Suboshi are with me.

Do you still consider
yourself Miaka's enemy?

I think you know her
better than that.

You know she
didn't betray you!

None of that...

Don't you see that doesn't
make any difference now?!

I'm the Priestess of Seiryu!
That makes me your enemy!

This is your chance, isn't it?
Why don't you kill me?!

Look out!

Let me go!

Why are you acting so nice?!

Especially when you
feel nothing for me!

That's not true! You're a good
person! And you're Miaka's friend--

Stop it!

We can never be friends again...!

Why are you so stubborn?!
There's still time!

You still haven't
summoned Seiryu!

No...

I've already made up my mind.
To summon Seiryu!

But don't worry. I don't
intend to do it to get you.

That's going to be Miaka's
wish to Suzaku, isn't it?!

For you two to be together?

For what reason?
It's stupid!

Because if she doesn't
summon Suzaku...

...you could never spend
your life with Miaka!

Who cares about you?!
You're just a character in a book!

What's wrong, Miaka? Cold?

No...

I just suddenly
got a bad feeling...

Feeling...?

I'm really worried
about Tamahome!

I'm gonna go look for him!

Hey, Miaka! Me, too!

I've found you.

Are... Are you sure about
this? It says to keep out.

Enough already! Just keep
your eyes on that book!

Okuda... Okuda...
Where did it go?!

Right, right. I hear you.

Okay...
"As Nakago had ordered..."

"...he arrived to kill
the Priestess of Suzaku..."

WHAT?!!

Priestess of Suzaku!

Die.

MIAKA!!!

Seven Celestial Warriors
were brought together...

...to protect the Lady Miaka.

Sharing in their hearts
the willingness...

...to die fighting for her is
the pride of the Suzaku Seven.

And for Nuriko, it is the
reason for his existence.

Next time, "To Die
for the Star of Suzaku."

A sacrifice for the
one he believes in...
