Tanuki specialized in ghost and goblin
transformations since ancient times.

:08:35
The tanuki learned to utilize
not only their own KI energy,...

:08:40
...but also to draw and
amplify energy from fire, electricity,...

:08:44
...levitation, flight and
other sources of energy in nature.

:08:48
And then they learned how
to store it and use it when needed.

:08:53
Under the direction of
the three Elders from Shikoku,...

:08:55
...they began a training program
that was unbelievably taxing.

:09:01
Male or female,
whether they could transform or not,...

:09:04
...all tanuki participated
and gave everything they had.

:09:11
That evening,
the tanuki's enthusiasm was so great...

:09:15
...that they were like an unstoppable fire.
:09:18
And so they went all out even though
no humans were there to see them.

:09:28
Hey, look!
:09:34
What's that?

Let the flowers bloom on withered trees!
