Opening Credit Scenes
Written by: HolyUp Chacha
Contributing Collaborator: Christopher Coyle
Notes2: The shichiseishi of Genbu are: Tomite, Hikitsu, Uruki, Hatsui, Inami, Urumiya and Namame. These were translated by Miss Hoh, one of the absolute authorities on the stars of Genbu. The powers, however, are of my imagination or were altered from role play experiences; except for those of Hikitsu and Tomite. Watase Yuu had dibs on those ones. ;)
CueThe constellation suddenly comes alive and the dual heads ofItooshi Hito no Tameni non-lyrical mix.
[ Scene change ]Takiko, dressed in her green summoning robes, exits a tent by pushing aside the flap. Wearing a smile and carrying the summoning scroll, she walks down a path past her sei.
Hatsui is first, who bows looking serious.
Urumiya is next; he hides a bottle behind his back and grins. He elbows the next sei in the ribs, who is Namame.
Namame ignores Urumiya and bows to his miko with a smile.
Uruki is up, now. She folds her arms across her chest and nods at the miko, a hint of a smile showing after Takiko passes.
Inami is last in line and smiles with brotherly affection before turning to face the two men we now see at the end of the path.
Takiko stops walking and stands before the two men.
Hikitsu and Tomite kneel upon one knee before their miko, the mouth of the cave at the end of the path at their backs. They both look up, expressions fierce with pride.
Suddenly, both glow green; one side from Hikitsu's eye, the other coming from one side of Tomite's back.
[ Scene changes to collective sei power examples ]Urumiya slashing about with a sword while wearing the armor of the Kutou army.
Namame fades into sight. He stands firm, his arms upraised to hold clenched fists before his face. Black shadow figures, like an image blurring together, appear and then merge about his body, like a filmy armor. He drops an arm to the side to ward off a sword's blow and then lashes out with the opposite fist before fading into the next sei in the series.
Hatsui weilding his sacrificial knife; his eyes close, his head bows and green chi explodes around him.
Inami charges past the scene leaving echos of himself to lash out with his fists and feet.
Takiko appears in the center of the screen as the after images of the previous four sei fade away. She holds the Shijin tenshi no sho to her chest.
Images from the following scenes now appear and fade out the last of the previous scenes.
Uruki, looking angry, pulls two small pouches from her sleeves and throws them across the screen. She opens her mouth, looking as though she's yelling or singing, and the pouches ignite in green flames.
A scowling Tomite appears in the center of the screen. He takes aim with his bow, the arrow within icing over. The arrow is shot at the viewers as Tomite smirks.
Hikitsu appears behind Tomite as he fades away. His eye closes; his head bows. His hand is held vertically before his face. He ignites with chi and serpents of ice appear from behind him to follow the same path as Tomite's arrow.
[ Scene change ]The figure of
The seishi begin to gather together in front of it.
First Urumiya and Namame elbow each other until they're settled back to back and staring out at the audience.
Next comes Inami, who looks serious as he stands beside Urumiya, but bodily facing forwards.
Uruki follows. She stands before the three men and folds her arms over her chest, looking angry.
A little off to the left side, appears Takiko in her real world kimono, her hands clasped before her demurely.
From behind her suddenly appears Tomite with his hand on her shoulder.
Hikitsu abruptly appears next to Tomite and stares straight ahead, overtop Takiko at the audience.
[ Scene change ]The words '
A green silk ribbon floats down from the top of the screen to settle beneath the words. Then it blows away and the screen goes black for the episode title to appear.
