Young Prince Junior is on the move, trying to revive the yokai's Infernal King!
In less than one month's time, our Infernal Majesty will step through that door.
Then, he will destroy everything on the surface -- humans, plants, animals.
And we yokai will have our eternal paradise.
Ah, the End of Act I
I don't think so!
C'mon, guys! Let's beat that guy down!
Hold yer horses.
Wait a moment, lads.
Even if ye fought now, ye could not beat Gashadokuro.
What are you talking about, Sandayuu?!
The Infernal King is lendin' him power from behind that Door of Seals.
He's far more powerful than before. Ye'd do better to withdraw for now.
You gotta be kiddin'.
You want us to run and leave those kids behind?!
We're supposed to be Kakuranger!
It's our job to protect those kids and keep the world safe!
If the five of us work together, we've got to win!
Sandayuu!
Keiko... Ryota...
Sandayuu. We want to fight, even if it means risking our lives.
Guys!
Here they come.
Prince Junior...
No... Gashadokuro!
You won't have your way any more!
Get ready!
I'll offer you as sacrifice to our Infernal Majesty as well.
Kunoichi Gang!
The Flower Kunoichi Gang has arrived!
Let's go!
Super Henge!
Yellow Claw!
One more!
Heave-ho!
Black Bow!
Shoot!
Kakure Style!
Art of the Doppelganger!
Right here!
Kakure Style Ninpo!
Petal Storm!
Blue Jet!
Very impressive, Kakuranger. But you still can't beat me.
I think it's time I sent you to hell, Kakuranger.
I do not think so!
Kakure Style!
Art of the Juusho Fighter!
Fools. The Juusho Fighters are no match for me.
Infernal Majesty!
We need Mighty Shogun!
Kakure Style!
Art of--
I don't think so!
Go to hell, Kakuranger.
Is this really... all the power we have?
Help! Help! Help!
Help! Help us, Tsuruhime! Tsuruhime!
Keiko... Ryota...
Help! Help! Help!
No way are we losing... without saving those kids!
It does seem I've won, Kakuranger.
But before you depart for the afterlife, let me show you something interesting.
What's going on?
Have a look, Kakuranger!
Until the day the Door of Seals opens and our Infernal Majesty steps through,
the barrier over this region will prevent anyone from interfering!
Now, I'll turn all of humanity into stone!
NO!
Where are we?
Fear not.
Ye're inside the Phantom Castle.
Sandayuu!
What's that?
The Heavenly Triad that reigns over this world.
The Heavenly Triad?
Mighty Shogun.
Tsubasamaru.
And Great Kakure Shogun.
Great Kakure Shogun?
Listen well, lads.
These events took place two thousand years ago.
As the world suffered through the battle between humans and yokai
the Infernal King led the yokai
while humanity was led by the Three Sages.
After a long and hard battle,
the Three Sages worked out a new technique.
It let them seal the yokai deep under the ground.
It was a shinobi spell.
Before long, the Three Sages' human souls faded away, and they became the Heavenly Triad.
When the yokai Infernal King tries to resurface
they work to stop him.
Four hundred years ago...
when yer ancestors fought the yokai
they helped them, too.
So the reason our Kakure Style ninpo summons Mighty Shogun...
It's a spell to call Mighty Shogun out from his heavenly slumber.
And that's why you said Mighty Shogun is alive?
Hear me, lads.
If ye wish to defeat the Infernal King,
ye must master the essence of Kakure Style ninpo.
The essence of Kakure Style ninpo?
Oh, c'mon!
We already mastered all that stuff!
Nonsense!
The essence of Kakure Style ninpo...
Is built on heart, technique, and body.
Heart, technique, and body?
Tsubasamaru represents heart.
Kakure Daishogun represents technique.
Mighty Shogun represents body.
Ye must have all three of these to defeat the Infernal King.
The essence of Kakure Style Ninpo.
The Shinobi Scrolls.
Acquire these and ye can control Mighty Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, and Tsubasamaru freely.
So where do we find 'em?
Dunno.
In the battle two thousand years ago
the five of them were scattered.
Oh, no!
But ye must find them at all cost.
And before the month is out.
Before the Infernal King sets foot upon Earth.
There's no way we can do it!
We don't even know where they are!
If you fail, humanity is lost!
If the Infernal King is revived...
Those people turned to stone will all die.
Is that what ye want?!
Ye have no time.
Use this map as your guide.
Split up and each find yer own scroll.
Hear me?
This is also a Journey of Trials meant to test ye.
Go, Kakuranger!
What a bunch of crap.
Why do we gotta split up to look for those scrolls?!
Why can't we just do it together?!
We don't have time.
We got no choice.
You're really okay with this, Sasuke?
We've stuck together all this time.
If something happens on the way...
We may never see each other again.
I'm going.
We're the only ones who can save the people who were turned to stone!
She's right.
C'mon, guys!
We'll find those Shinobi Scrolls and see each other again!
We'll all be friends again... just like we promised.
Right?
Guys...
Wind, I beg you not to sing
Not that song, which brings up memories...
... of my home, now so far away
I swore on that day that victory would be my only cause
And that from this journey, I would never return
My eyes are focused on tomorrow, now and forever
And though I should let tears fall from them...
There isn't any time
My body is covered in scars, and gains more every day
And though I should let myself feel that pain
There isn't any time
This is about more than finding the essence of Kakure Style ninpo.
This is a test we've been given.
A Journey of Trials.
If we want to become true warriors... we have to do this.
Watch us, you disgusting yokai.
We're going to find those Shinobi Scrolls...
Then we're coming back here!
Keiko... Ryota, wait for us!
Where are those Shinobi Scrolls?
I dunno if we can do it... but I'll try the best I can!
See you again, my friends.
See you again, my Kakuranger!
Can Sasuke and his friends retrieve the Shinobi Scrolls and save the people turned to stone?
With this, Ninja Squad Kakuranger Part 1 comes to an end!
Next week, we'll start anew.
After all the growing Sasuke and the gang have done as warriors,
Ninja Squad Kakuranger Part 2: Youth Battle Saga will begin!
I hope all our faithful viewers will look forward to it! That's all for today!
