Mao (2026) s01e11 Episode Script
Chi no Majiwari
Shigeru Shigeru
Stay with me!
Big brother, don't die!
Shigeru
God Please
Please
Please help Shigeru
MIZUCHI
Please save my son's life
MIZUCHI
Please save him!
Oh, Mr. Kuchinawa,
will you be leaving us already?
Yes.
Thank you for the stay.
Things never slow down, do they?
And here I am in Kyoto for
the first time in ages
Beniko, did you find anything?
Yes, I did, Master Kamon.
There's a daughter
of an aristocratic family.
An aristocrat's daughter
Very good.
She was critically ill, but the family
called a spiritual healer.
She is completely recovered now.
May I help you?
KUCHINAWA
KUCHINAWA
Oh, come now.
It's me, Kuchinawa.
Of course! Mr. Kuchinawa!
Forgive me.
I shall take you to the master at once.
Forgive my late visit.
I came to see how
your daughter was faring.
Thank you for your concern.
She is completely recovered now.
I understand it was thanks
to a celebrated spiritual healer.
Just between you and me
I summoned a famous onmyoji
from the Goko Clan.
An onmyoji from the Goko Clan
I see.
Father.
MIYAKO
Do I have a visitor?
Oh, Miyako.
My, my.
Good day to you, Miss Miyako.
It's me, Kuchinawa.
Oh, Mr. Kuchinawa.
Good day to you as well.
It's been quite some time.
I'm relieved to see you looking well.
Yes, I'm feeling much better now.
Water?
You know, Father,
we should have invited Mr. Kuchinawa
to my recovery party.
Yes, we should have.
How forgetful of me.
Oh, Father.
You really are forgetful.
Come now, go easy on me.
- This young lady
is already dead.
She and the people around her
don't even realize it.
MAO
BLOOD BOND
KUCHINAWA
KAMON
Master Kamon
BENIKO
How did it go?
It didn't go well.
Apparently, the spiritual healer
was referred by a friend of a friend.
But the moment I tried to ask
who the original referral came from,
he completely froze up.
Do you think his memories
were erased?
It's possible.
On top of that
Whoever's behind this
clearly wants the upper class
to remember the name
of the Goko Clan.
So they can attract more clients,
I suppose.
Even so, the spell they used
was hopelessly imperfect.
Which means they don't truly know
the secret art of Taizanfukun.
Are you sure?
Will my son really be healed?
SHIGERU
Yes. But in exchange
MAO - OTOYA
I'm ready to go!
NANOKA KIBA
NANOKA KIBA
I'm all geared up.
Did you say "geared"?
Yup.
I'll need to protect my hands, so
I brought work gloves,
heavy-duty gloves
And I brought goggles
to protect my eyes from water.
Those are swimming goggles?
Oh, that's right.
Nanoka, I'm sorry.
It's already over.
Huh?
What?
An assassin came right
after you returned to your world.
Seriously? But I came
here all prepared.
That's admirable.
You look good in
those swimming goggles.
Right?
I even practiced
so I can put them on quickly.
Like this!
Wow.
She's a good girl.
But it may have been for
the best that you weren't here.
Huh?
I agree.
He was a challenging opponent,
even for me.
Will they be sending in
another assassin?
Excuse me
SHIGERU'S MOTHER
Are you a doctor?
SHIGERU'S YOUNGER SISTER
I'd like you to see my son
SHIGERU'S YOUNGER SISTER
Mommy!
Are you alright?
Mommy!
She's just sleeping.
Thank god.
Mommy was taking care
of my big brother without any sleep
The exhaustion caught up with her.
Otoya, Nanoka.
Let her sleep here for a while.
Where are you going?
I'm going to see her son.
Take me to your house.
Okay.
It's this way.
So he sees human patients, too?
Yes, sometimes.
If human patients ask him,
he treats them for free, too.
Oh
So he really is a doctor, after all.
This is Mao's
I can't speak!
I can't move my body either!
I'm sorry.
Is that a shell?
Otoya?!
Forgive me
Forgive me!
Huh?
The kodoku pot
That's what keeps Mao alive!
Shigeru!
MAO
It's over there.
Just a little further.
Big brother! Big brother!
Over here, doctor!
Hurry, doctor!
Big brother
He's already dead.
From the looks of it,
he may already have been dead
when they came to ask for help.
Those eyes
He's a shikigami.
Who is your master?
You'll find out when you meet.
This isn't good.
I didn't bring my sword.
Otoya! Otoya!
Snap out of it!
Are you awake?
I was caught in an illusion spell.
That woman stole the kodoku pot!
We have to go after her!
But where did she go?
How much time went by?
This towel
It's the one I placed on that woman.
What are you going to do?
Like this
Done.
That's amazing.
Where is it headed?
We won't let her get away.
I have to close the distance
and shut down his attacks!
Do you recall what spear this is now?
This is from that time!
It's the spear that
pierced the dying Byouki!
That's right.
900 years ago, this spear pierced Byouki
and stole its yokai powers,
and nearly claimed its life.
It is the Spear of Taima.
Mao
For capturing someone like you,
who's become one with Byouki,
this is the perfect cursed weapon.
Shigeru!
Mommy Big brother is
That's
The kodoku pot!!
Shigeru
Shigeru!
My poor boy
- Big brother
I did as you asked and brought this!
Hurry! Please save my boy!
Save my boy!
That child is already dead
I have no use for you now.
Banish!
Protecting an ungrateful thief
How utterly foolish.
Master Mao!
Now then
I shall take you to Kyoto.
You're going to hand me over
to your master
and force me to reveal
the secret art of Taizanfukun?
Why did you make that mother
steal the kodoku pot?
It would be troublesome
if you died on the way there.
He knows that the kodoku
sustains my life?
How does he know?!
Mao!
That hurts!
What the hell is this?!
Nanoka!
Nanoka
Nanoka, pull out the spear now!
O-Okay.
Mao!
I have no strength left
Master Mao! I'm coming to treat—
Mao!
Stay back!
Huh?!
Rin, Pyo, To, Sha,
Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!
Banish!
Nine Cuts!
He's getting away!
Stop!
Don't go after him, Nanoka!
It went away
Mao!
Are you alright?
Of course he isn't
He's been badly wounded.
Otoya!
Bring the kodoku pot! Quickly!
You're kidding me
The pot broke?!
Otoya!
Pull yourself together!
Mao needs our help!
What do I do?!
Wake up, Otoya!
The kodoku pot
It was what sustained Master Mao's life
The kodoku is gone
Otoya
Master Mao!
Otoya
This is an order.
If I perish here
What?!
Bury my corpse deep underground
and seal it with a powerful barrier.
So that Byouki
can never find my body.
Yes, Master Mao.
Wait! What're you talking about?
Byouki said it would wait
for my life to end
Because unless it reclaims
the body that fused with mine,
it cannot transfer itself
into Nanoka as a new vessel
That's true
If Byouki could
transfer vessels freely,
then during the great earthquake,
I would already have been
possessed by it.
Nanoka
There was so much more
I wanted to teach you.
Mao?
Mao?!
Mao!
Mao!
Hey! No!
Don't leave me!
I don't know anything!
I can't do anything by myself!
Please! Come on, Mao!
No! Don't die!
No! No! No!
Nooo!
Mao!
Huh?
What's happening?!
I feel dizzy
Master Mao's wound is healing.
Nanoka
Mao
You're alive
Thank god
Miss Nanoka!
Are you alright, Miss Nanoka?
Miss Nanoka!
One, two, three
Four, five, six, seven
Huh?
Are you awake, Nanoka?
Mao What about your injury?
What happened to me?
Nanoka, how are you feeling?
Huh? How do I feel?
Now that you mention it,
I feel kinda drained.
Like after drinking
one of those smoothies.
At that moment,
something warm flowed into
my body through the wound.
It was
Your blood, Nanoka.
The wound inflicted by the shikigami
It seems your blood
somehow kept me alive.
So that's what happened
My blood
is just like Mao's.
Cursed by Byouki.
But I'm just glad
Mao is still alive.
Put me down.
Put me down.
Can you walk?
I can walk.
I hugged him without even thinking!
This is so embarrassing!
Nanoka?
By the way,
what happened to those people?
That was awful. They tricked you
and stole the pot.
When I think about it,
I pity them.
I'm sure she did it only because
she wanted to save her son.
Shigeru
Master Mao, how did the shikigami
know about the kodoku pot?
Yes.
And how did they know where I was?
I'm up against a senior apprentice
who is a Water sorcerer.
Water is everywhere around us.
Could they be watching me
through the water?
If that's the case
I shall take you to Kyoto.
Why not come in person?
What's keeping them
from leaving Kyoto?
NEXT TIME
Mao
I can't wait to see you again.
Idiot!
You have no talent!
Just quit!
Welcome. We’ve been expecting you.
My dear big brother.
Instead of staying cooped up
inside this barrier,
why don't we go to
the Imperial Capital?
Help me
Help me!
Help me, Mao!
Next time: "Water Sorcerer."
Stay with me!
Big brother, don't die!
Shigeru
God Please
Please
Please help Shigeru
MIZUCHI
