[00:14] Kojiro     I guess we might be lost. [00:16] Tsugumi     What?! Get it together, Captain! [00:19] Kojiro     The map didn't say anything about a forest! [00:22] Tsugumi     I hate this! It's hot, and it's dark,     and this thing is heavy! [00:25] Tsugumi     I want out of these woods now! [00:27] Tsugumi     Just drive the Kitetsu Mount! [00:29] Kojiro     Why don't you drive it yourself, then?! [00:35] Musashi     I wanna do it! [00:39] Musashi     I wanna try driving! [00:44] Musashi     You guys better not let go, okay? [00:46] Musashi     I'm serious! [00:49] Kojiro     It's pretty scary without any help     in the early stages. [00:52] Tsugumi     I know, right? [00:53] Tsugumi     Let's spook him by letting go      when he's not paying attention! [00:57] Kojiro     Keep it quiet! [00:59] Musashi     I think they've both settled     down some. That's a relief. [01:02] Kojiro     Are you ready? [01:03] Tsugumi     Careful now. [01:04] Tsugumi     Don't let him notice... [01:06] Musashi     I'll play along for now. [01:09] Musashi     You guys better not let go! [01:12] Musashi     I mean it! [01:13] Musashi     You can't let go of me! [01:17] Musashi     Huh... [01:20] Musashi     All right, maybe you can actually let go now. SIGN    Green Oni     Octopus Jars [01:30] Tsugumi     Help, Musashi! [01:34] Musashi     Kojiro! Tsugumi! [01:41] Musashi     There's someone else, too! [01:46] Musashi     These oni never get any less monstrous. [01:49] Musashi     But now... [01:51] Musashi     I'm not helpless against them anymore! [01:57] Musashi     Enma's Oodachi! SIGN    Where This Road Leads [03:35] Musahi     Where's its horn? [03:39] Musahi     There! [04:06] Musahi     Kojiro! Tsugumi! You okay? [04:10] Tsugumi     I'm soaked... [04:13] Kojiro     Yeah, we're okay. [04:15] Kojiro     Nice save. [04:17] Musashi     Thank goodness. [04:18] Musashi     Oh, yeah... [04:20] Tsugumi     Huh? It caught someone else? [04:22] Musashi     Hey! You okay in there? [04:27] Tsugumi     No answer... [04:29] Kojiro     Don't tell me... [04:30] Musashi     They were moving a second ago! [04:33] Musashi     They've gotta be alive! [04:50] Musashi     It's a girl. [04:52] Tsugumi     Is she alive? [05:12] Tsugumi     What a relief. [05:21] Michiru     Right here... [05:23] Michiru     You're bleeding. [05:27] Musashi     Oh, yeah. [05:29] Musashi     From when I saved you. [05:31] Michiru     You saved me? [05:35] Musashi     Yeah. [05:39] Michiru     I see... [05:51] Michiru     Thank you. [05:55] Kojiro     She's gorgeous. [05:57] Musashi     Are you feeling okay? Any injuries? [06:02] Tsugumi     Musashi and Kojiro are gaga over her! [06:05] Tsugumi     I bet they're hearing birdsong in their heads! [06:08] Musashi     This is great news. [06:09] Musashi     I'm still normal enough     to think girls my age are cute. [06:16] Musashi     I need to cherish this wonderful feeling! [06:21] Chamberlain     Princess! [06:23] Musashi/Kojiro/Tsugumi     Princess? [06:26] Chamberlain     You're all right! [06:28] Michiru     Chamberlain... [06:29] Chamberlain     I was ever so worried when you     were separated from the group! [06:32] Michiru     Stray oni attacked me,     and then I was saved by this man. [06:36] Chamberlain     Stray oni? [06:37] Chamberlain     Princess, I could never make it up to     His Lordship if anything happened to you! [06:42] Michiru     I'm sorry, chamberlain. [06:45] Musashi     An actual princess...? [06:47] Tsugumi     And what exactly is a hoity-toity lady     like that doing in the backwoods? [06:52] Tsugumi     Say something like that, Musashi! [06:54] Michiru     Actually... [06:58] Chamberlain     Sir, the princess would     like to know your name. [07:02] Tsugumi     She should give hers first! [07:04] Tsugumi     And if she has something to say,      tell her to say it! [07:07] Chamberlain     How terribly rude of me. [07:11] Chamberlain     This is the daughter of Lord Nobumitsu, [07:14] Chamberlain     head of the Saruwatari Bushi     under the Uesugi Alliance... [07:17] Chamberlain     Milady Saruwatari Michiru. SIGN    Saruwatari Band      Saruwatari Michiru [07:20] Chamberlain     In order to attend the battle which     will decide the fate of the nation, [07:24] Chamberlain     we are headed to the port of Harima. [07:28] Musashi     A battle that's gonna decide     the fate of the nation? [07:37] Kojiro     This thing is a Kitetsu Mount, too?! [07:39] Chamberlain     Is this your first time riding one like it? [07:40] Chamberlain     Consider the lift a token of gratitude     for Sir Musashi saving the princess. [07:44] Chamberlain     We'll clear through the     forest in no time at all. [07:47] Tsugumi     It's great that we got a ride, huh, Musashi? [07:50] Tsugumi     Musashi? [07:51] Musashi     Huh? Yeah. [07:57] Musashi     She seems like a totally different person. [08:00] Musashi     What's she upset about? [08:03] Kojiro     What is that? [08:06] Tsugumi     Musashi, check it out!     It's crazy over there! [08:09] Musashi     Yeah... [08:11] Musashi     Are you guys seriously not noticing this? [08:13] Musashi     This awkward, chilly mood that's crept over? [08:17] Musashi     I can't stand this kind of atmosphere. [08:20] Musashi     So I've gotta find a way to break the ice! [08:23] Musashi     Y'know, we were actually kind of lost! [08:27] Musashi     I'm so glad you have a map of the forest. [08:31] Musashi     Come on, gimme something! [08:33] Tsugumi     Huh? What's this blacked out part? [08:37] Kojiro     Maybe a misprint? [08:38] Tsugumi     But it's the whole area... [08:41] Musashi     They're hijacking the conversation! [08:43] Musashi     So, where are you from? [08:46] Musashi     Talking about your hometown     is a classic conversation starter! [08:56] Chamberlain     Well, we're actually from Bicchu. [09:00] Musashi     Another interloper! [09:01] Kojiro     By the way, you mentioned you     were headed to the Harima port. [09:05] Chamberlain     Correct. Lord Uesugi has called for a     gathering in order to slay a Kishin, [09:09] Chamberlain     so the Bushi of the Uesugi Alliance     are reporting to Harima. [09:14] Musashi     You're headed to fight a Kishin, then? [09:17] Musashi     What kind of fighting style do you use? [09:20] Musashi     If she's a Bushi, she's gotta     love talking about swords! [09:26] Kojiro     What's the Uesugi Alliance? [09:28] Tsugumi     Oh, it's a network of friendly Bushi bands. [09:31] Musashi     Hey, could you guys not change the     subject every few seconds?! [09:35] Tsugumi     What was that for?! [09:35] Musashi     I'm trying to talk to Michiru! [09:41] Michiru     You remembered my name...? [09:49] Chamberlain     These game trails can be quite bumpy! [09:59] Kojiro     Musashi! [10:01] Musashi     Huh? [10:07] Musashi     Crap, this is bad! [10:18] Michiru     Kitetsu Blade: Lapis Lazuli Lotus. [10:22] Musashi     You... [10:28] Musashi     Whoa, we're flying! [10:31] Musashi     Your Kitetsu Blade is awesome! [10:36] Michiru     You remind me of my father. [10:39] Michiru     When I could first use a Kitetsu Blade, [10:42] Michiru     he praised me just like that. [10:46] Musashi     You're smiling! [10:48] Mihciru     I'm sorry I was rude before. [10:52] Musashi     It's okay, but... what's brought     you out of your shell all of a sudden? [10:57] Michiru     You won't laugh? [10:58] Musashi     I promise. [11:02] Michiru     The truth is... [11:07] Michiru     I'm a recluse. [11:11] Musashi     A recluse? [11:14] Michiru     It's usually just me and the chamberlain, [11:17] Michiru     so when there are more people... [11:20] Michiru     I-I'm never sure how     to join the conversation. [11:24] Michiru     I didn't know what to do. [11:27] Musahi     Is that what the issue was? [11:33] Michiru     You're laughing! [11:34] Musashi     I'm just relieved you weren't mad. [11:41] Michiru     Say, why don't you head south with me? [11:46] Musashi     We're actually headed east. [11:50] Michiru     You won't be able to go far, then. [11:52] Michiru     Remember how the map was blacked out? [11:55] Musashi     Yeah. What's with that? [11:58] Michiru     It's easy enough to explain. [12:00] Michiru     Look. There it is. [12:13] Musashi     What is that?! [12:20] MIchiru     That black wall is a Kishin. [12:23] Musashi     That's a Kishin? It's way too huge! [12:45] Musashi     The wall's... moving? [12:50] Musashi     What the hell is this thing?! [12:54] Michiru     They say it was the first oni to appear     in Hinomoto over 150 years ago. [13:04] Michiru     Long ago in Hinomoto... [13:14] Michiru     A lone oni appeared. [13:26] Michiru     It was extremely powerful. [13:29] Michiru     No human could stand against it. [13:34] Michiru     Hinomoto was split in two [13:38] Michiru     between those who saw the oni as enemies      and declared all-out war on them, [13:42] Michiru     and those who heralded the oni as gods      and decided to worship them. [13:47] Michiru     The latter would go on to build mining towns, [13:51] Michiru     where ore was harvested     and offered up to the Kishin. [13:56] Michiru     As it consumed ore, it grew ever bigger, [14:01] Michiru     to the point that it now covers     over half of Hinomoto. [14:06] Michiru     It's known as the Black Kishin. [14:16] Musashi     The Black Kishin... [14:17] Chamberlain     That's what we've named it. [14:21] Chamberlain     And defeating it is the unrealized ambition      of all Bushi the past 150 years. [14:29] Chamberlain     Considering that the Black Kishin     continues to grow with each passing day, [14:34] Chamberlain     it will eventually swallow all of Hinomoto     if nothing is done to stop it. [14:40] Kojiro     The entire country...? [14:42] Musashi     Then we need to take it out fast, right?! [14:45] Tsugumi     But an oni that no one's been     able to defeat for 150 years... [14:50] Tsugumi     I don't see how anyone can beat it now. [14:54] Chamberlain     Fear not! The leader of our alliance,     Master Uesugi Tatsuomi, shall slay it! [15:00] Chamberlain     After all, he ranks among      the nation's strongest Bushi, [15:05] Chamberlain     the Five Great Generals. [15:08] Musashi     The Five Great Generals? [15:09] Chamberlain     Yes! They are the closest anyone     has come to unifying the nation. [15:13] Kojiro     That sounds pretty impressive... [15:16] Chamberlain     Defeating the Kishin on Awaji Island will be      critical to taking down the Black Kishin. [15:22] Chamberlain     I recommend you all join us     in Harima if you're interested. [15:26] Chamberlain     Come now, Princess. Let's be on our way. [15:31] Michiru     Well, I hope we meet again someday. [15:41] Tsugumi     I wonder if my sister was aware of all this... [15:46] Musashi     Do you think that Pops     knew about that thing? [15:50] Kojiro     No clue. [15:52] Kojiro     The scrolls he left didn't mention it. [15:55] Musashi     Are you sure? [15:57] Kojiro     I guess we can check. [16:03] Tsugumi     Oh, every band has these scrolls. [16:06] Musashi     What? Really? [16:07] Tsugumi     Yeah. It has a record of the     Kishin's names and traits. [16:12] Kojiro     If this is something all Bushi bands carry... [16:15] Kojiro     then why'd my dad have it? [16:17] Tsugumi     I mean, it probably means he     was a Bushi in a band, right? [16:22] Tsugumi     Right? [16:24] Musashi     Then Pops really did have connections     to the outside world... [16:27] Tsugumi     Hey, this scroll has a seal. [16:30] Musashi     What seal? [16:31] Tsugumi     It's for identification. [16:32] Tsugumi     Let's see, from the looks of it... [16:36] Tsugumi     This is the seal of the lord of the Uesugi. [16:38] Musashi     Isn't that... [16:40] Tsugumi     It probably means Kojiro's dad     belonged to the Uesugi Band. [17:08] Sanae     Everyone here is part of     the Uesugi Alliance?! [17:11] Sanae     Wow! [17:12] Keiji     Why are we way out on the fringe? [17:14] Hikaru     Well, the Amako band is pretty minor. [17:17] Yamanaka     Near the center are the Arima,      the Ootomo, and... [17:22] Kijinosuke     The second-biggest band in the     Uesugi Alliance, the Shimazu! [17:29] Amako     Our duty is to slay the     Kishin of Awaji Island. [17:34] Amako     Let's take the island back! [17:35] Amako(Group)     Right! [17:38] Haruhisa     Natsuki, do you remember what Father said? [17:42] Natsuki     Yeah. Whoever takes the Kishin's horn on     Awaji gets to be the head of the clan, right? [17:47] Fuyuya     I'm sure Sir Akihiro can do it. [17:57] Naoe     Get in line! [17:59] Naoe     First come, first serve. No cutting. [18:02] Crowd     We're waiting back here! [18:02] Amakazu     Try and calm down. [18:04] Naoe     I hate it when anything is out of place... [18:08] Amakazu     You're a little too organized,     Master Kanetatsu. [18:16] Naoe     My lord! There are reports that     the Obsidian Goddess was spotted [18:18] Naoe     at the great eastern mine of Mimasaka. [18:20] Naoe     Word came from one of     the bands under our authority. [18:26] Tatsuomi     The Obsidian Goddess... [18:30] Naotora     Come on, Tatsuomi.      I don't actually work for you. [18:43] Nanao     I bought a lot of stuff. [18:45] Nanao     I wonder if Master will be happy. [18:48] Nanao     I guess snacks wouldn't really please him. [18:51] Nanao     Maybe I should have hunted     down a Kitetsu Blade... [18:54] Nanao     No, no! I'm off duty after     finishing up a mission. [18:58] Nanao     And I don't believe in working without pay. [19:07] Nanao     Ugh... [19:12] Nanao     No one should come around here. [19:19] Yataro     H-Hey, Nanao... [19:22] Yataro     Looks like you're relaxing off duty, huh? [19:25] Nanao     Everyone being able to keep tabs     on you isn't very relaxing... SIGN    The Obsidian Eight [19:28] Yataro     We all have the same stones within us. [19:31] Yataro     That lets us know what's going on,     no matter the distance. [19:34] Seiroku     Speaking of duty, I hear you actually     found the Obsidian Goddess. [19:39] Nanao     Yes. The genuine article this time. [19:42] Nanao     There's no doubt about it. [19:44] Shiro     I found her! [19:45] Seiroku**     I heard she rejected you. [19:48] Seiroku     Wanna go drown your sorrows? My treat. [19:50] Shiro     What, you wanna go drinking, Seiroku? [19:52] Seiroku     I'm trying to say I'm worried about you! [19:55] Nanao     Seiroku, consideration and other delicate     sentiments don't apply to my master. [20:01] Boss     We need to keep the Obsidian Goddess     out of Bushi hands. [20:05] Boss     The compass would show the     way to divine treasures. [20:10] Boss     Our duty is to ensure the survival of the     Kishin so that we can live alongside them. [20:15] Boss     Let us all work together,     brothers and sisters. [20:17] O8     Right. [20:18] Shiro     Let's go and grab her right now! [20:20] Boss     I think it'd be a good idea to send     someone who can approach in secret. [20:24] Seiroku     Yeah, if we send someone without     a plan, she'll get away. Again. [20:29] Yataro     I-If I clean up the mess that Nanao made... [20:32] Yataro     Will I get praised for it? [20:35] Nanao     So creepy! [20:37] Seiroku     You wanna show off to Nanao, don't you? [20:39] Yataro     M-Maybe I should go this time... [20:45] Musashi     We're almost at the port of Harima. [20:48] Tsugumi     We'll be able to see the ocean. [20:49] Musashi     The ocean, huh? [20:51] Kojiro     The ocean... [20:52] Tsugumi     Do you guys even know what an ocean is? [20:55] Musashi     Sure we do. [20:56] (Flashback) Kyoko     During the Sengoku period, SIGN    Ocean of Blood [20:58] (Flashback) Kyoko     the ocean was a body of water that was turned     red with the blood of innocent farmers. [21:04] Tsugumi     Your school was really full of it, huh? [21:06] Musashi     I wonder what the ocean's really like... [21:10] Musashi     Should be exciting, huh, Kojiro? [21:13] Kojiro     You guys really don't mind     me being selfish like this? [21:17] Musashi     It's not selfish, man. [21:19] Tsugumi     It's only natural to want to     know more about your family. [21:22] Musashi     Yeah. Besides, I wanna     know more about Pops myself. [21:29] Kojiro     I need to know more about him, too. [21:33] Kojiro     I never even thought about     where he came from before. [21:39] Kojiro     But if we go to the Uesugi,     we might be able to learn something. [21:47] Musashi     What's that smell? [21:52] Kojiro     I think we're coming up on something. [21:54] Tsugumi     That's the ocean! [21:59] Kojiro     That's the ocean? [22:01] Musahi     It's so blue! SIGN    The Battle of Awaji Island Starts Summer 2022 [23:37] Musashi     This is Harima?!
