Keikain: In just 13 days since the first one, 5 seals have been destroyed.

Keikain: And now we are left with 3.
Keikain: Even among our branch families... the Fukuju, the Aika, the Yaso... only the guardians remain.
Fukuju: Wh... What are we going to do?! We must hurry and reinforce the third seal!!
Fukuju: It's our only choice!!

-07-
Elder2: That's outrageous... We won't be sending anyone!!
Elder3: Our candidate for family head has died!
Elder3: Cooperation from us is out of the question.

Elder2: The order has been decided... Send out your own warriors to protect you!!
Elder1: W-Wait just a minute!

Elder1: Now is the time all of our branch families should be standing together, is it not?!

Keikain A: The Fukuju's all worked up, isn't he?
KeikainB: Of course he is! Next to be killed will be that son he's so proud of.
KeikainB: It's Masatsugu up next...

Masatsugu: Just leave it, Father.
Masatsugu: This is a frivolous dispute, anyway.

Masatsugu: In effect, we gathered today to decide the order in which we would be killed.

-09-
Masatsugu: That doesn't sound like a very constructive discussion.
Masatsugu: The main problem is... When and how to capture Hagoromo Kitsune... is it not?

Fukuju: Th... That's not it, Masatsugu...
Fukuju: Do you know how much of a struggle it is to bring up a single onmyouji?

Keikain: Exactly...
Fukuju: We Keikain are a bloodline cursed by the fox...

Fukuju: Male children of the main house are doomed to die early.
Fukuju: And that's why our clan has always adopted talented individuals from branch families, and brought them into the main house.
Fukuju: We cannot allow the bloodline to die out!!

Elder A: It... It's the user of original Shikigami, Pato!!
Fukuju: H-Hey, stop that!
Elder2: P... Put the Shikigami away!

Pato: Hahaha hahaha!
Pato: You all agree with me, right?

Elder2: Don't be ridiculous!!
Elder2: Oi, someone stop his Shikigami!!

Akifusa: No... It's true... They were destroyed because we tried to protect them.
Akifusa: Also... that which must be protected is not the bloodline.

Kyoukotsu's daughter: It's so shiny, Hagoromo Gitsune-sama!!
KD: The capital city really does have things like this!!

KD: I know why you've set your sights on this city, Hagoromo Gitsune-sama.
KD: Because you think that this city would be beautiful... if only there were no people around.

Kitsune: You're right... Heh...
Kitsune: Now then, for tonight... Show me some entertainment flashy enough to match this temple.

Akifusa: Now once again, sink into darkness, you old fox!

Bottom right: Next time, opening colour for the decisive battle!! And Rikuo, at long last...?!

Chapter Notes
Branch / -ryuu / -流
Previously, this was translated as style, as it primarily appeared in conjunction with special techniques/moves. It can now be seen that this refers not only to a school of techniques but an actual subsidiary or branch family.

Gashadokuro, pages 2-3
Though not technically a traditional youkai, for a similar creature, see the skeleton apparition in Edo period ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi's print: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takiyasha_the_Witch_and_the_Skeleton_Spectre
