Asura

---

Turbulent times.

The grass under ones feet burns,

And many lives vanish as darkness falls.

Surviving on this land, where there is nothing left but ruins.

Even though the answer was nowhere in sight, I was wondering the land fulfilling my duty.

Till I met that thing.

The land that we have built since times past, crumbles under it's own bad karma.

Our own ignorance has brought upon us, this unfortunate situation.

Rebuilding what has been lost, at the cost of ones life.

Namu-amida-butsu.

It hurts.

It hurts.

It hurts.

I'm going to give birth.

OK, it's alright.

Drink properly, grow up healthy.

Water!

I found it first!

Outta the way!

Something to eat...

Something to eat...

Meat...

Meat...

Something... to eat...

Something...

to eat...

Something to eat...

Something to eat...

Something to eat...

Something to eat...

Asura

Nubles Presents

This is the very last, eat it properly.

Sayo...

If only I wasn't like this, sorry.

With the drought that's going on, everywhere is the same.

Who on earth...

Who could have done such!

It's so horrible!

People are dead!

Someone killed them!

Their throats were cut open!

It's rain!

Finally!

It's all thanks to the God of rain!

You've eaten people, haven't you?

So you intend on eating me too.

I see.

So you don't know how to talk.

I want to see your heart!

Namu Amida Butsu!

Namu Amida Butsu!

It must have some sort of relation to this...

So you're awake?

To you, everything that's alive is an enemy huh...

OK.

I won't kill and eat you.

Well whatever.

I'll leave it here.

You are a human, but yet you are not.

You're just a sad creature, who can't live without fighting.

Isn't it delicious?

You kill to protect yourself.

If not, then you wouldn't have been able to live, would you?

But you know, humans are beings that live by helping each other out.

Namu Amida Butsu.

Say it now.

Namu Amida Butsu.

OK, nicely done even though it's your first time.

Anger, grief, hurt and kill.

You have the burden of suffering on you.

Asura.

That will be your name from now on.

It doesn't matter if he can't understand it now.

Just keep chanting that,

and become human.

Hey!

This is of no use.

Someone drop this one off In the valley.

Wait lord, This one is just weak...

If we give it food...

Don't get ahead of yourself.

We don't have much for weaklings.

OK?

Just make sure you deliver this to its designated place before sunset.

This guy tried to eat Saoru.

What's with this guy!

It still wants to eat...

Here, eat this!

It's like a dog.

Why is that kid following us?

It wants to eat Saburo?

Nothing to eat anymore, shoo!

Ouch!

Hey!

This isn't a place where you can

freely walk without permission.

Yup!

Go back to your village already!

You scum.

You're in the way.

Don't get in the way.

I won't be able to feed them, If we don't take this log to the other side.

Please let us pass.

Don't answer back.

Know your place.

What's with that look, you got a problem!?

Kotaro-sama!

What are you going to do?

Kotaro is the landlord's...

This is bad!

What?

Kotaro was killed?

Kotaro!

Jitou-sama!

Ko-kotaro!

My only son!

Who is it? Who did this!?

Who is it, speak up!

Jitou-sama!

It's him!

He did it!

What!

Why you! I'll kill you!

You brat!

Don't think you can run away from me.

Die!

Why you!

Now what will you do?

Why don't you try taking me on once more!

I wonder if he was killed.

Of course, he was against Jitou-sama.

He sure was one heck of boy.

Sorry, it was hot wasn't it.

It's alright.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Nothing to be afraid of.

There there, be a good boy.

It'll be over soon, let's stop the bleeding, OK?

You sure held up well.

Good boy.

I know.

You must be hungry.

Here.

Asura.

Asura.

Asura?

I got it.

I'll call you that.

Morning, Asura.

Asura.

Come here.

Namu-Amida-Butsu.

Namu-Amida-Butsu.

You can say sutras?

Amazing!

My name is Wakasa.

Nice to meet you.

Asura, this is an eye.

Say it.

Eye.

This is an ear...

Mimi...

Then try saying it,

Wa - ka - sa!

Wa - ka - sa!

That's it!

Nice.

I hope the rice comes out fine this year.

It should be alright.

Yea, I guess you're right.

Asura, you can't stay here, you must hide in the basket.

You're hungry aren't you.

Honestly, you shouldn't over do it,

It'd be bad if the villagers found you.

It's pretty bad for that family, they didn't only sell their daughter, but their babies died too.

OK.

That's it for today.

We can come back later,

after we've had our meals.

Thanks dad.

Asura.

Jeez, It can't be helped.

What a beautiful sunset, It feels so nice.

Thanks for bringing me here, Asura.

I don't think the villagers have ever come here.

We found a nice place.

This Is the safest place for you.

Come here Asura.

Y-Yes.

They say that the city is beyond that mountain.

City.

I'd like to go there one day.

With that person.

Wait!

City...

If you want someone who can

work, then how about that person?

Don't talk about things like that, right Wakasa?

Y-Yes...

Men really should be the ones to work.

This year sure looks like it's gonna be tough on taxes.

Yeah, whether we have food

or not Is none of their concern.

Asura!

It's amazing you knew I was here.

Look at these, they're mushrooms.

They're delicious if you bake or make soup with them.

I'll bring you dinner tonight.

Now then, lend me a hand.

We're gonna pull that big one out.

Mushrooms grow under the shade of trees.

They grow well in enclosed places.

Asura, you try searching for some too.

Don't hold that dangerous thing.

Give it back.

Say Asura, you killed Kotaro-sama didn't you.

In doing so, you almost died.

I don't want to see anything sad anymore.

Sad...

Wakasa, sad?

You mustn't kill anymore.

Thank you.

Good boy.

So Asura, does it taste good?

We have plenty more.

I'm going to head back now, OK?

Lets go and pick mushrooms again.

Don't eat this all at once.

Wakasa!

I wanted to meet you.

Me too.

I want to stay like this forever.

I don't know when it will be.

But one day I'll leave this place,

And i will come to take you away with me.

I really want to leave this

place, and be with you forever.

Lets run away to the city.

Wakasa!

Asura!

Shio-san!

I'm alright.

Shio-san!

Why?!

WHY?!

Stop it.

Asura.

What did you do to him!

Wakasa.

You demon!

Demon!

I don't know you anymore.

Get out!

Wakasa.

Demon...

It would've been better if I hadn't been born.

It would've been better if I hadn't been born.

The one who gave birth to you in this world!

I hate you!

To have been born in a place like this.

What is this.

This creature, which is human but

also not human, regrets being born.

It would've been better... It would've

been better if I hadn't been born.

We meet again Asura.

Is it hurting you?

It seems that you've learnt a lot of words.

You've become more human like than before.

I'm not a human.

I'm not a human, just a beast.

Then let us close our hearts by chanting sutras.

I told you before.
