: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...
:10:01
and drove the remnants
of our people to the east.
:10:05
Some managed to survive here
for all these years,
:10:08
but the blood of our tribe has grown
thinner and weaker with each generation.
:10:13
Now our last prince must cut his
hair and leave us, never to return?
:10:19
Sometimes I think the gods
are laughing at us.
:10:35
Our laws forbid us from watching you go,
Ashitaka.
:10:39
Whatever comes to pass now,
you are dead to us forever.
:10:45
Farewell.
