**[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!
