[00:00] Shiro
    Which means...
[00:03] Shiro
    If we attack him here now,
     the goddess will issue her sentence.
[00:07] Shiro
    And we'll get to see it happen!
[00:10] Shiro
    Just how bad is this going to be?
     I can't wait to find out!
[00:15] Nanao
    Understood. Resuming goddess
    retrieval operation.
[00:20] Nanao
    I just need to kill the
    redheaded host boy, right?
[00:27] Tsugumi
    Her staff came apart!
[00:30] Nanao
    My Kitetsu Blade...
[00:39] Nanao
    Seven Belled Armadillo Sword!
[00:41] Kojiro
    That sword!
[00:42] Tsugumi
    One, two, three...
[00:44] Kojiro
    Seven blades?!
[00:45] Nanao
    Have a taste of my sword skills!
[00:49] Nanao
    Seven Lashing Swords Style
    secret technique...
[00:52] Nanao
    Mangling Murder Wheel!
[00:59] Tsugumi
    A style with seven swords
    has to be cheating!
[01:02] Kojiro
    Even if you dodge one, the rest keep coming!
[01:06] Nanao
    Just give up. Nobody likes a sore loser!
[01:15] Shiro
    There you go, Nanao!
[01:17] Nanao
    I'll be expecting
    a big reward for this, Master.
[01:23] Nanao
    One! Two! Three!
[01:33] Nanao
    And four!
[01:35] Nanao
    What?!
[01:52] Kojiro
    You can evade one,
    but the rest are right behind it.
[01:56] Kojiro
    Still, no matter how strong she is,
     there's only one of her.
[02:01] Kojiro
    And there's three of us.
[02:03] Kojiro
    We'll have to gamble on that.
[02:06] Kojiro
    Musashi. Tsugumi.
[02:10] Kojiro
    I've got a plan.
[02:14] Nanao
    Oh my, it seems they're putting
    together some kind of scheme.
[02:18] Shiro
    You gonna be okay by yourself, Nanao?
[02:22] Nanao
    Yes. Just wait over there, Master.
[02:30] Nanao
    Our mission is to kill that redheaded boy.
[02:34] Nanao
    I'll get the job done.
SIGN    The Goddess's Power
[04:18] Kojiro
    All right, you two, let's do this!
[04:21] Musashi/Tsguumi
    Right!
[04:21] Nanao
    I see...
[04:23] Nanao
    They intend to come after me all at once.
[04:26] Nanao
    I don't mind.
    My sword-whip has seven blades.
[04:31] Nanao
    This is essentially a seven-on-three
    battle to the death.
[04:37] Nanao
    No amount of teamwork will help you
     overcome these odds—
[04:42] Nanao
    What?
[04:45] Nanao
    They split up?
[04:47] Nanao
    While blondie tries to take me on by himself?
[04:49] Nanao
    That's just too reckless.
    There has to be some trick here.
[04:54] Nanao
    Could it be...
[04:55] Nanao
    he realized they can't win,
    so he's helping his friends escape?
[04:59] Nanao
    I can't allow the redhead to get away.
[05:02] Nanao
    Maybe I should take care
    of the blonde boy first...
[05:06] Nanao
    No. My goal, above all else,
     is capturing the redhead!
[05:12] Kojiro
    Here she comes, Musashi!
[05:17] Nanao
    Got him!
[05:19] Nanao
    Wait...
[05:25] Nanao
    She used whips to grab my blades?
[05:29] Tsugumi
    It's pretty easy to catch a sword
    if you know where it's headed!
[05:34] Kojiro
    Three against seven...
[05:35] Kojiro
    When you're outnumbered, splitting
    up means more of a disadvantage.
[05:39] Kojiro
    But if you can goad the
    enemy into bunching up...
[05:43] Kojiro
    You can catch them!
[05:45] Nanao
    Getting a hold of them won't—
[05:48] Nanao
    Wait! You're trying to...
[05:59] Nanao
    sunder my weapon?!
[06:00] Tsugumi
    We did it!
[06:04] Tsugumi
    Kojiro's plan worked perfectly!
[06:06] Tsugumi
    Because I knew she wouldn't attack me,
[06:09] Tsugumi
    I was able to focus on catching her blades!
[06:12] Kojiro
    Under the circumstances, she was bound
    to go after either me or Musashi.
[06:17] Bushi A
    The three of them were able
    to break the enemy's weapon!
[06:22] Musashi
    We should be able to do this
    if we work together!
[06:27] Musashi
    You destroyed one of seven blades.
[06:30] Musashi
    I'm still far from—
[06:32] Musashi
    Master?!
[06:33] Tsugumi
    Great, more trouble!
[06:35] Musashi
    Are they going to fight together, too?
[06:38] Tsugumi
    They're strong enough individually...
    What'll happen if they team up?
[06:43] Kojiro
    Coordinated attacks'll be bad news for us.
[06:45] Musahi
    It is what it is.
[06:47] Musahi
    They seem to be partners, after all.
[06:51] Nanao
    Master! I can still fight on my own!
[06:55] Nanao
    I... I want to be able to help you!
[06:58] Nanao
    So, please, let me handle this!
[07:02] Nanao
    We don't need to fight together yet!
[07:15] Tsugumi
    Wh-What's up with him?
[07:20] Nanao
    M-Master...
[07:27] Shiro
    Excuse me? Why would I ever
    fight with someone like you?
[07:33] Shiro
    Have we ever fought together before?
[07:38] Nanao
    No, sir.
[07:39] Shiro
    Right? Because there's no point.
[07:42] Shiro
    I like fighting by myself best.
[07:45] Shiro
    Now, be a good girl and step back.
[07:50] Shiro
    Weak allies are just a hindrance, y'know?
[07:54] Nanao
    Right...
[08:02] Tsugumi
    I... I kinda feel sorry for her.
[08:14] Shiro
    The goddess isn't making her move,
    so I'm bored of this fight.
[08:18] Shiro
    I'll take the three of you out at once.
[08:24] Kojiro
    What is that color?!
[08:25] Tsugumi
    Those are his blade rings!
[08:27] Musashi
    What are blade rings?
[08:28] Tsugumi
    Those halos of light that appear when
    you channel power into a Kitetsu Blade.
[08:32] Tsugumi
    Up until now, that guy in the black
    hood hasn't used his.
[08:37] Tsugumi
    In other words...
[08:40] Tsugumi
    We're about to see how strong he really is!
[08:53] Tsugumi
    H-Huh?
[08:56] Tsugumi
    Nothing's happening.
[08:57] Musashi
    What did he do just now?
[09:03] Kojiro
    Careful, Musashi!
[09:04] Kojiro
    Even without using his blade rings,
    his attacks were incredibly powerful.
[09:20] Tsugumi
    Are those walls of light?!
[09:22] Kojiro
    We're trapped!
[09:24] Bushi B
    There's no telling what kind of attack it is!
    Best to avoid contact!
[09:28] Shiro
    Oh, I wouldn't worry.
    It's not that kind of technique.
[10:16] Musashi
    What the?!
[10:35] Musashi
    That was close...
[10:38] Musashi
    Kojiro! Tsugumi!
[10:41] Kojiro
    We managed to hang on...
[10:43] Kojiro
    But if we fall, we're dead!
[10:45] Kojiro
    And it's only a matter of time!
[10:46] Tsugumi
    What's going on here?!
[10:48] Tsugumi
    Why is the ground above
    us and the clouds below?!
[10:51] Musashi
    Is this his doing...?
[10:55] Musashi
    He used a single sword to slice out part
     of the world and turn it upside down?
[10:59] Musashi
    People can do that?!
[11:01] Musashi
    What the hell is he?!
[11:05] Musashi
    This is way crazier than
    anything I've seen an oni do!
[11:10] Tsumugi
    We'd be okay if we our Kitetsu
    Blades could fly, but they can't!
[11:18] Shiro
    I think all the bums probably fell...
[11:21] Shiro
    Huh? There are a few who are
    managing to hang tough.
[11:25] Shiro
    Down you go.
[11:36] Musashi
    Bastard!
[11:38] Shiro
    What are you so mad about?
    Were they your friends, too?
[11:42] Shiro
    I honestly don't understand.
[11:47] Shiro
    You guys are trying to fight oni, right?
[11:51] Shiro
    The strength you need for that...
    Why look for it in other people?
[11:56] Shiro
    If there's someone you want to defeat,
[11:58] Shiro
    there's only one way to go about it:
[12:01] Shiro
    Become the strongest Bushi
[12:03] Shiro
    and obtain the strongest
    Kitetsu Blade to fight with.
[12:08] Shiro
    That's all you really need.
    So why all the banding together,
[12:13] Shiro
    like you're a bunch of insects,
    wriggling together to endure the cold?
[12:17] Shiro
    Oh, I get it.
[12:19] Shiro
    You're as weak as insects,
[12:21] Shiro
    so you need to stick together.
[12:23] Shiro
    That's how Bushi bands work!
[12:25] Musashi
    This jerk keeps running his mouth...
[12:30] Musashi
    He sounds just like her.
[12:34] Goddess
    Being in a band of Bushi is simply
    a means to an end for you.
[12:39] Kojiro
    He's wrong.
[12:40] Musashi
    Kojiro?
[12:41] Kojiro
    I can't put it into words...
[12:43] Kojiro
    but I feel like he's wrong about this.
[12:47] Kojiro
    Don't you, Musashi?!
[12:52] Shiro
    Is that right?
    Honestly, can't say that I understand.
[13:08] Musashi
    Dammit!
[13:10] Musashi
    I can't let it end like this!
[13:14] Musashi
    What is this?
[13:24] Musashi
    I can't move.
[13:27] Goddess
    I finally understand...
[13:31] Goddess
    just what kind of person you are.
[13:41] Musashi
    The world's frozen.
[13:43] Musashi
    What's going on?
[13:45] Musashi
    Did you do this?
[13:47] Goddess
    I did. I am the force that draws
    all things together, after all.
[13:52] Goddess
    Right now, I'm holding light and
    sound in place for your sake.
[13:57] Musashi
    So that Bushi in black isn't doing this?
[14:01] Goddess
    No.
[14:03] Goddess
    They're my enemies.
[14:05] Goddess
    They want my power.
[14:08] Goddess
    And they're trying to kill you
    in order to get their hands on me.
[14:13] Goddess
    Your death would be a problem for me.
[14:16] Goddess
    That's why I'm going to use
    what remains of my power...
[14:22] Goddess
    to ensure...
[14:26] Goddess
    that at least you get out of here alive.
[14:31] Musashi
    Meaning everyone else dies?
[14:35] Goddess
    That's right.
[14:36] Musashi
    No thanks, then.
[14:38] Musashi
    There's no point in surviving
    if I'm the only one who does.
[14:41] Goddess
    And why is that?
[14:42] Musashi
    Because...
[14:45] Musashi
    I'm a weakling who can't survive alone.
[14:48] Musashi
    I know the truth.
[14:50] Musashi
    By myself, I'd lose sight of what matters.
[14:53] Musashi
    I can't even dream on my own.
[14:56] Musashi
    But...
[14:57] Musashi
    when it's the two or three of us,
     I feel this power inside me!
[15:01] Musashi
    Isn't that weird?
[15:03] Musashi
    I want to see how far we can go together!
[15:10] Goddess
    I had thought that this kind of selfishness
    made you unfit to be my vessel...
[15:17] Goddess
    But now you have two allies willing
    to face vicious foes alongside you.
[15:21] Goddess
    You may not be able to survive on your own,
[15:24] Goddess
    but you have a knack for drawing
    others into your struggles.
[15:28] Goddess
    That's a valuable temperament.
[15:31] Goddess
    Because pooling strength with
    comrades in order to fight...
[15:35] Goddess
    is the only way a race as fragile as
    yours will be able to battle the Kishin.
[15:42] Goddess
    And that's what you want?
[15:45] Musashi
    You don't even have to ask.
    It always has been!
[15:50] Goddess
    Very good. Then I'll entrust
    you with my power.
[15:58] Goddess
    I shall demonstrate how I fight
     using your body.
[16:13] Shiro
    What just... Huh?
[16:19] Bushi
    O-Our swords are reacting on their own!
[16:21] Kojiro
    My Kitetsu Blade is being
    pulled by something!
[16:25] Tsugumi
    They're gonna fly off my arms!
[16:30] Nanao
    Something is drawing the blade energy!
[16:32] Nanao
    Master, th-this power... It's the real deal!
[16:46] Shiro
    The thundering supernatural power
    that dwells within Kitetsu Blades...
[16:50] Shiro
    That is blade energy.
[16:53] Shiro
    And there exists a black stone that can
    call upon the power of all Kitetsu Blades.
[17:09] Shiro
    Their true master...
[17:25] Shiro
    The obsidian goddess!
[17:29] Goddess Musashi
    That's a fine Kitetsu Blade you've got.
[17:31] Goddess Musashi
    Filth like you is unworthy.
[17:49] Tsugumi
    We're saved.
[17:50] Apprentice B
    Heaven and earth are back where they belong!
[17:56] Apprentice A
    It's him...
[17:57] Apprentice A
    He took the enemy's Kitetsu Blade,
    which made the technique disperse!
[18:03] Kojiro
    Musashi? What happened to you?!
[18:09] Goddess Musashi
    Now then, I need to show this
    boy how to use Kitetsu Blades.
[18:15] Goddess Musashi
    You there, filth.
[18:21] Goddess Musashi
    You've been looking for me, haven't you?
[18:24] Goddess Musashi
    Though I can't say the feeling was mutual.
[18:29] Tsugumi
    What is that? A black blade ring?!
[18:31] Kojiro
    Musashi seems totally different...
[18:34] Kojiro
    It's like he's someone else.
[18:36] Goddess Musashi
    For now, just see how my
    power works, Kojiro.
[18:43] Nanao
    The obsidian goddess?!
[18:45] Nanao
    So this is the genuine article?
[18:50] Nanao
    She's warping my blade energy!
[18:52] Nanao
    It has to be her!
[18:56] Kojiro
    Amazing...
[18:58] Kojiro
    He was able to deflect all those attacks!
[19:00] Goddess Musashi
    Those with the black stone have
    control over blade energy.
[19:06] Goddess Musashi
    They can draw it toward them
    or even repel it,
[19:10] Goddess Musashi
    not unlike a powerful magnet.
[19:13] Goddess Musashi
    But because of the unique
    nature of this power,
[19:16] Goddess Musashi
    the vortex of magnetism
    can leave people confused
[19:18] Goddess Musashi
    and unable to use Kitetsu Blades.
[19:21] Goddess Musashi
    That's the truth behind the so-called
    forsaken legend you people speak of.
[19:27] Kojiro
    Are you saying Musashi can
    repel any kind of attack?!
[19:31] Kojiro
    Is that even possible?!
[19:33] Kojiro
    He'd be invincible!
[19:35] Goddess Musashi
    Sadly, his invincibility
    is coming to quick end.
[19:45] Goddess Musashi
    My existence is a fragile one.
    I was resting inside of Musashi.
[19:50] Goddess Musashi
    Taking action in the material world
    causes my power to fade quickly.
[19:54] Goddess Musashi
    I need to return to sleep soon.
[19:57] Goddess Musashi
    When I do, Musashi will lose
     the obsidian power...
[20:02] Goddess Musashi
    even as they continue to try to kill him.
[20:06] Goddess Musashi
    From now on, he'll need
    to rely on his friends.
[20:11] Goddess Musashi
    Are you willing to join him
    against these fearsome foes?
[20:14] Kojiro
    Of course I am!
[20:15] Kojiro
    There's no way I'd sit back
    and let anyone kill Musashi!
[20:19] Goddess Musashi
    I see.
[20:21] Goddess Musashi
    Thank you, Kojiro.
[20:26] Goddess
    I'm counting on you to take care of things.
[20:34] Shiro
    I've been wanting to meet you for so long!
[20:37] Shiro
    Come and join me!
[20:38] Shiro
    I know I'll be able to make you happier
     than you'd be with them!
[20:48] Goddess
    Piss off.
[20:51] Goddess Musashi
    I should chase them off before
    I return to my slumber.
[20:55] Goddess Musashi
    I'll be borrowing the power of you Bushi.
[21:01] Nanao
    What's she planning?
[21:04] Kojiro
    My Kitetsu Blade...
[21:07] Shiro
    Is she attracting everyone's blade energy?
[21:13] Goddess Musashi
    You said that Bushi are weak,
[21:15] Goddess Musashi
    like insects who have to work
    together to survive, did you not?
[21:20] Goddess Musashi
    You may be right about that.
[21:24] Goddess Musashi
    However... the brilliance of a single blade,
[21:28] Goddess Musashi
    when joined with others,
    can shine like a constellation.
[21:32] Goddess Musashi
    And with the heat of a meteor shower,
    I'm going to get rid of you.
[21:47] Goddess Musashi
    Well, bye now.
[23:25] Musashi
    The Naotora Band could fly, right?!
[23:27] Musashi
    Can't we do that, too?
[23:29] Mitsuru
    Bushi can fly with certain Kitetsu Blades,
    but those are the really expensive ones!
[23:33] Musashi/Kojiro
    Argh!
[23:34] Tsugumi
    Which means they're way beyond
    our current financial situation!
SIGN    Next Time
    What's in a Katana
[23:37] Kojiro
    If only I were rich!
