:08:11
I'm afraid this is very bad.
:08:14
The stones tell me the boar god
came from far to the west.
:08:18
He had some kind of poison inside him,
driving him mad,
:08:22
a poisonous hatred that consumed
his heart and flesh...
:08:26
and turned him
into a demon monster.
:08:29
- Prince Ashitaka?
- Yes?
:08:32
Show everyone
your right arm.
:08:41
What's it mean?
:08:44
My prince, are you
prepared to learn...
:08:48
what fate the stones
have foretold you?
:08:50
Yes, I was prepared the very
moment that I let my arrow fly.
:08:54
Mmm.
:08:56
The infection will spread throughout
your whole body, bone and flesh alike.
:09:01
It will cause you great pain
and then kill you.
:09:05
Is there no way
we can stop it?
:09:07
The prince got that wound by defending
our village and saving our lives!
:09:11
Do we just sit here
and watch him die?
:09:13
You cannot alter
your fate, my prince.
:09:17
However, you can rise
to meet it, if you choose.
:09:21
Look at this.
:09:23
This iron ball was found
in the boar's body.
:09:28
This is what hurt him so.
:09:30
It shattered his bones and
burned its way deep inside him.
:09:35
This is what turned him
into a demon.
:09:38
There is evil at work in the land
to the west, Prince Ashitaka.
:09:43
It's your fate to go there and see what
you can see with eyes unclouded by hate.
:09:47
You may find a way
to lift the curse.
:09:50
- You understand?
- Yes.
:09:54
We are the last
of the Emishi.
:09:57
It's 500 years since the Emperor
destroyed our tribe...
