II (2003) |
Birthed in a flash of lighting from Yamato no Orochi, the
instrument of Genkaku's revenge was finally realized. Susa-no-o
is a hulking beast whose body shows signs of both Yamato no
Orochi's power, with a reptilian right arm and a scaly neck,
and the fallen hero whose name he takes: Susa-no-o. The creature
posses tremendous power while in possession of the Ame no Murakumo
sword, able to destroy the capital of Yamato in a single sword
stroke, sending out shockwaves that detonated nearby structures
and sent fissures through the streets, causing the capital's
citizens to plummet to their doom.
Sensing that Susa-no-o has finally been released, Seimei and
Hiromasa set out to wake the god Amaterasu, in hopes that she
will revert Susa-no-o back to his human form. The two descend
on the resting place of Amaterasu in Ama no Iwato, and begin
performing the ritual to call forth the god. However, Susa-no-o
senses the god Amaterasu beginning to stir out of her slumber,
and goes to Ama no Iwato to confront Seimei and Hiromasa. Upon
arriving, though, Susa-no-o is paralyzed by Hiromasa playing
his flute, as the hulking creature is reminded of his life as
a human and lays down his sword. However, his father, Genkaku,
is waiting behind him. Taking his son's sword, Genkaku does
battle with Seimei, until he runs the Yin-Yang master through
with the Ame no Murakumo sword. Fortunately, the blood of Seimei
completes the ritual, and Amaterasu is awoken. As hoped, Susa-no-o
converts back into a human and goes with Amaterasu back to heaven.
