SIGN Red-Bladed Bushi of
the Kanemaki Band
Musashi
[00:16] Musashi
Look how blue it is!
SIGN Blue-Bladed Bushi of
the Kanemaki Band
Kanemaki Kojiro
[00:18] Kojiro
Wow...
[00:20] Musashi
Right? Get a load of the huge lake, Kojiro.
[00:23] Tsugumi
That's not a lake, Musashi. It's the ocean.
SIGN Green-Bladed Bushi of
the Kanemaki Band
Hattori Tsugumi
[00:26] Musashi
What's the difference, Tsugumi?
[00:27] Tsugumi
I dunno! I've never seen
the ocean before either.
[00:34] Kojiro
Which one is the Uesugi's?
[00:36] Musashi
That's cold! Cut it out!
[00:39] Musashi
What's up?
[00:40] Tsugumi
Those flags have the Uesugi clan emblem.
[00:47] Musashi
Which means...
[00:48] Tsugumi
I wonder if that's the Uesugi fortress.
SIGN Uesugi Band Mobile Citadel
SIGN Shiryu Castle
[00:57] Musashi
That's one heck of a castle.
[00:59] Tsugumi
It's the size of a mountain.
[01:01] Kojiro
That's where the Uesugi are...
[01:06] Musashi
Let's go find this Uesugi lord so
we can learn about your dad.
[02:43] Naoe
Not happening.
SIGN The Uesugi Band
[02:44] Musashi
What? We can't see him? Why?
[02:47] Naoe
Why, you ask?
[02:49] Naoe
Our lord is busy preparing for battle.
SIGN Uesugi Bushi
Naoe Kanetatsu
[02:52] Naoe
He doesn't have time for meet and
greets with rank-and-file Bushi.
[02:56] Musashi
A battle? He must mean...
[02:59] Chamberlain
Lord Uesugi has called for the
Uesugi Alliance to report to Harima.
[03:06] Musashi
It's sure a lot of Bushi...
[03:10] Naoe
What band do you belong to, anyway?
[03:12] Musashi
We're the Kanemaki Band!
[03:13] Naoe
Kanemaki? Never heard of you.
[03:15] Kojiro
Well, we're not actually part
of the Uesugi Alliance.
[03:19] Naoe
You're what?
[03:20] Kojiro
Okay, bad vibes.
[03:22] Tsugumi
I think this might be a
"no outsiders allowed" sitch!
[03:24] Musashi
But the old guy said we should
come by if we were curious!
[03:28] Uesugi Guard
What should we do, Master Naoe?
[03:30] Naoe
We've got a VIP en route.
I won't stand for an ugly display.
[03:35] Naoe
Apprehend them and find out who they are.
[03:37] Uesugi Guard
Sir!
[03:38] Tsugumi
We're not up to anything, I swear!
[03:40] Musashi
Sounds like we're in
trouble if we get caught!
[03:47] Musashi
Coming through!
[03:49] Musashi
What?
[03:53] Kojiro/Tsugumi
Musashi!
[04:00] Kojiro
He took Musashi down with one kick?
[04:02] Tsugumi
Who is that guy?
[04:04] Akihiro
Master Naoe, this one's weak.
[04:08] Akihiro
Not worth worrying about him.
[04:10] Musashi
What'd you say?!
[04:14] Musashi
What's that sound?
[04:27] Musashi
What the heck is that?
[04:35] Musashi
I think that crest is...
[04:46] Kijinosuke
That's the head Uesugi family's Kitetsu Mount!
[04:53] Kijinosuke
The lord must be aboard it...
[04:56] Naoe
We've been awaiting your arrival.
[05:00] Musashi
So this is the guy
everyone's talking about?
[05:03] Kojiro
This is the guy who might know my Dad!
[05:08] Musashi
What are you doing on that thing,
[05:10] Musashi
Takeda Naotora?!
SIGN Captain of the Takeda Band
Takeda Naotora
[05:14] Masked Bushi
Takeda Naotora?! What's he doing here?
[05:17] Kojiro
I thought it was going to be Lord Uesugi...
[05:25] Musashi
This guy?
[05:26] Naotora
Sorry, kid!
[05:28] Naotora
I'm afraid I had to steal
your big first step.
[05:32] Musashi
Hey! Haven't seen you since
the Engoku Tengu fight.
[05:41] Naotora
Who're you again?
[05:44] Musashi
He forgot about me?
[05:47] Musashi
Am I that insignificant to him?
[05:51] Musashi
I thought for sure he'd...
This is so embarrassing!
[05:59] Naotora
That was a joke! I remember you.
[06:01] Naotora
Musashi the consolation prize winner, right?
[06:03] Naotora
Man, you are really fun to mess with.
[06:08] Naotora
Bet you're relieved I remember you,
huh, Musashi?
[06:11] Musashi
I forgot he was like this...
[06:13] Musashi
You're still a jerk, huh?
You must hear that from everyone.
[06:18] Naotora
Most don't have the guts to actually say it.
[06:24] Naotora
Why's everyone bowing to him?
[06:26] Kojiro
Even Tsugumi...
[06:28] Tsugumi
Hey, why are you guys—
[06:31] Tsugumi
Why are you gentlemen acting so familiar?
[06:33] Musashi
"Gentlemen"?!
[06:34] Kojiro
Why's she being so formal all of a sudden?!
[06:38] Bushi 1 E13
The Takeda Band is the
second largest in Hinomoto!
[06:42] Bushi 2 E13
No, in terms of territory and number
of mining towns they've liberated,
[06:45] Bushi 2 E13
they're the biggest.
[06:47] Bushi 1 E13
Lord Takeda Naotora is their leader.
[06:50] Bushi 1 E13
And he's none other than...
[06:52] Bushi 1 E13
one of the Five Great Generals,
[06:54] Bushi 1 E13
Hinomoto's most powerful warriors!
A rival to Lord Uesugi himself!
[06:58] Kojiro
Wait, so he's actually a way
bigger deal than we thought?
[07:01] Musashi
Can't judge a book by its cover, huh?
[07:03] Haruhisa
To speak that way of the
second strongest man in Hinomoto...
[07:06] Haruhisa
Just who is that redhead?
[07:08] Naoe
Lord Takeda, we need to take
custody of these people.
[07:12] Naoe
If they're not of our ranks,
we can't have them roaming free.
[07:14] Naoe
We'll deal with them.
[07:16] Naotora
Actually, they work for me.
[07:20] Naotora
I apologize for the fuss.
I'll make sure to get them under control.
[07:24] Musashi
We're not your—
[07:28] Naoe
Oh? If you say so,
then I suppose that's that...
[07:32] Naotora
I knew you'd understand, Master Naoe.
[07:37] Naoe
Well, let's escort you aboard, Lord Takeda.
[07:39] Naoe
You're meeting with our lord, yes?
[07:42] Naotora
Right.
[07:44] Musashi
Naotora! We wanted to meet Lord Uesugi, too!
[07:48] Naotora
Not happening!
[07:50] Musashi
Take me with you, damn it!
[07:52] Musashi
I mean, pretty please!
[07:54] Musashi
Naotora!
[07:58] Priest
We beseech the wise and divine Takamusibi,
grant our mortal souls courage
[08:03] Priest
so that through our bonds of blood we may
[08:08] Priest
seize victory in the coming battle...
[08:24] Naotora
Hey. It's been a while, Tatsuomi.
SIGN Leader of the Uesugi Alliance
& Captain of the Uesugi Band
Uesugi Tatsuomi
SIGN Leader of the Uesugi Alliance
& Captain of the Uesugi Band
Uesugi Tatsuomi
[08:29] Tatsuomi
You're here, Naotora.
[08:31] Naotora
Swearing a victory before
your forefather's bones...
[08:35] Naotora
Nobody's big on lineage like the Uesugi.
[08:38] Naoe
My lord, there were three outsiders
among the troops...
[08:42] Tatsuomi
Kill them.
[08:44] Naotora
Never one bit of mercy for outsiders, huh?
[08:47] Tatsuomi
Unity of blood is everything to us.
[08:50] Naotora
Well, they're actually my subordinates...
My older brother's second cousins.
[08:56] Naotora
Not buying that, huh?
[08:58] Tatsuomi
If you say they're your subordinates and
your blood, then that's all there is to it.
[09:03] Naotora
So...
[09:05] Naotora
What'd you send this for?
I don't work for you, remember?
[09:10] Tatsuomi
Oh, I know. Believe me.
[09:14] Tatsuomi
But I figured you'd want to help me. Right?
[09:22] Naotora
Slaying the Kishin of Awaji, huh?
[09:25] Naotora
That's a lot to bite off.
[09:30] Spyglass Bushi 1
The island looks completely different now.
[09:33] Spyglass Bushi 2
Yeah. It's bad news.
[09:35] Spyglass Bushi 2
Let's report to the lord.
[09:37] Yataro
Oh, great Lord Orochi!
SIGN Awaji Island
[09:40] Yataro
To bear witness to such
a magnificent Kishin...
SIGN Green Kishin
Artillery Serpent
Yamata no Orochi
SIGN Green Kishin
Artillery Serpent
Yamata no Orochi
[09:44] Yataro
As one of the obsidian brotherhood,
I pledge my service to you.
[09:50] Yataro
I shall endeavor to destroy the
Uesugi Band from within.
[09:59] Tsugumi
So who're they, Musashi?
[10:01] Musashi
They work for Naotora.
They helped save our hometown once.
[10:05] Shunrai
I see. This is the Uesugi seal.
[10:08] Shunrai
And you want to meet with Lord Uesugi
to find out more about Kojiro's father?
SIGN Green-Blade Takeda Bushi
Special Division Vice-Captain
Yamamoto Shunrai
[10:13] Aoshi
Tch. Can't believe I got kicked off
the captain's security detail.
SIGN Blue-Blade Takeda Bushi
First Division, Second Class
Sanada Aoshi
[10:17] Aoshi
How come I've gotta babysit some
jumped-up redheaded miner?
[10:21] Tsugumi
Musashi's gonna lose it.
[10:24] Musashi
Gee, mister, thanks for
covering for us back there!
[10:28] Aoshi
"Mister"?
[10:30] Tsugumi
He's actually being polite for once!
[10:32] Musashi
The Takeda Band is our in
to meet Lord Uesugi, after all.
[10:36] Tsugumi
So you're sucking up for Kojiro's sake.
[10:38] Kojiro
I appreciate it, Musashi.
[10:42] Shunrai
You can butter us up all you want,
but we'll never let you meet Lord Tatsuomi!
[10:47] Musashi
Wh-Why not?
[10:49] Shunrai
Because it's dangerous.
[10:52] Shunrai
Bushi don't take kindly to outsiders.
[10:57] Shunrai
Especially not the Uesugi.
[10:59] Musashi
We only need a second with him!
[11:01] Musashi
We just wanna know if he knew Pops.
[11:04] Shunrai
And what benefit is that to the Uesugi clan?
[11:06] Musashi
Benefit?
[11:07] Shunrai
Bushi don't bother with anything
that doesn't benefit their house.
[11:11] Kojiro
Their house?
[11:12] Shunrai
Yeah. The lord of the clan
and their relatives lead the pack.
[11:15] Shunrai
With all the fighting in the old days,
folks trusted family above all else.
[11:21] Shunrai
And that's particularly true of the Uesugi.
[11:25] Musashi
Trusting family above all else...
[11:30] Musashi
I don't really get that.
[11:32] Tsugumi
I think I kind of understand.
[11:36] Tsugumi
His Lordship always made a big deal
about the family's reputation and honor.
[11:42] Kojiro
I...
[11:45] Kojiro
I want to learn about my family.
[11:47] Musashi
Kojiro...
[11:51] Musashi
Let's do whatever we can
to figure out your dad's deal.
[11:55] Kojiro
Musashi...
[11:57] Musashi
No one'll notice us running
around with all that going on.
[12:00] Aoshi
Don't get any ideas.
[12:01] Aoshi
If you get drafted into the Kishin fight,
you're as good as dead.
[12:04] Kojiro
What do you mean?
[12:06] Musashi
We know our way around Kishin.
[12:09] Aoshi
Listen up. This is the Engoku Tengu
we tangled with before.
[12:14] Aoshi
Now, as for the Kishin of Awaji Island...
[12:17] Aoshi
That's this one. Yamata no Orochi.
[12:19] Musashi
It's huge!
[12:20] Kojiro
They're not the same at all.
[12:22] Aoshi
The size of the circle represents
how powerful it is.
[12:25] Musashi
So it's that much stronger...
[12:27] Aoshi
Well, it's one of the Four Blights.
[12:29] Musashi/Kojiro
Four Blights?
[12:30] Aoshi
They were all born from the same oni...
[12:35] Aoshi
The Black Kishin.
[12:38] Michiru
They say it was the first oni to appear
in Hinomoto over 150 years ago.
[12:45] Musashi
How the heck do we beat that thing?
[12:48] Shunrai
The first step is to slay its offspring.
[12:50] Shunrai
The sire gets bigger from what
the offspring consume.
[12:55] Shunrai
So if you want to stop it from growing,
that connection needs to be severed.
[13:02] Shunrai
Which is why we're hunting Yamata no Orochi!
[13:06] Aoshi
Easier said than done.
No one's pulled it off in 150 years.
[13:11] Aoshi
That should tell you how dangerous it is.
[13:13] Aoshi
If you value your lives, stay clear.
[13:22] Musashi
I know what the Takeda guys said,
[13:24] Musashi
but we're not here to hunt oni.
[13:27] Musashi
We're trying to find info on Pops.
[13:29] Musashi
I'm gonna go look around.
[13:31] Kojiro
Try to make it back without causing trouble.
[13:34] Tsugumi
And... you're off!
[13:37] Tsugumi
Good luck!
[14:06] Musashi
It's massive!
[14:08] Tatsuomi
It's a fine castle, isn't it?
[14:12] Musashi
What's with Mr. Tattoos over here?
[14:18] Musashi
The castle is huge, but all
the Bushi are impressive too.
[14:22] Tatsuomi
The Bushi...
[14:24] Tatsuomi
They've all got family waiting.
[14:29] Tatsuomi
Wives, children, parents, siblings...
[14:34] Tatsuomi
And beyond that are the lives
of all who came before them.
[14:40] Tatsuomi
I come up here before a battle
to remind myself of that.
[14:46] Musashi
You're not just some sage, are you?
[14:50] Musashi
Are you a Bushi, too?
[14:51] Tatsuomi
Technically.
[14:54] Tatsuomi
Are you?
[14:56] Musashi
Yep.
[14:58] Tatsuomi
How old are you?
[14:59] Musashi
Fifteen!
[15:01] Tatsuomi
I see.
[15:04] Tatsuomi
If nothing else, I want to keep young Bushi
like you from dying pointlessly.
[15:12] Tatsuomi
But we're up against a real threat.
I need to pull out all the stops.
[15:16] Musashi
He said he's a Bushi,
but who exactly is this guy?
[15:20] Naoe
My lord!
[15:24] Naoe
I thought I'd find you here.
[15:28] Naoe
Everyone's waiting for your orders, my lord.
[15:31] Tatsuomi
I'm coming.
[15:32] Musashi
Wait, your lord...?
[15:33] Naoe
Mind your manners.
[15:34] Naoe
You are in the presence of the
Uesugi clan leader, Lord Uesugi Tatsuomi.
[15:39] Musashi
You?! You're Lord Uesugi?!
[15:42] Naoe
I told you to mind your manners!
[15:44] Tatsuomi
It's fine.
[15:46] Tatsuomi
If he's an allied Bushi,
then he's practically family.
[15:50] Musashi
That's a relief! I wanted to ask you—
[15:52] Naoe
My lord, he's actually not an allied Bushi.
[15:56] Naoe
He's one of the outsiders.
[15:57] Musashi
That's not true! I'm Naotora's...
[15:59] Naoe
If it's not true,
then state your post castle,
[16:03] Naoe
your unit name, blade color, and rank.
[16:05] Musashi
Rank?
[16:07] Musashi
What rank do you mean?
[16:18] Musashi
Crap! They're onto me!
[16:20] Naoe
Trespassing in the castle
is grounds for execution.
[16:23] Naoe
But given that Lord Takeda
seems partial to you...
[16:28] Tatsuomi
Take them to the barracks.
[16:32] Tsugumi
So we got drafted for trespassing...
[16:35] Tsugumi
I bet we'll be sent to the front line.
[16:39] Kojiro
I don't want to die before learning anything.
[16:43] Musashi
Look, we managed to get inside the castle.
[16:45] Musashi
Let's keep an eye out for
any clues about Pops.
[16:48] Kojiro
Musashi...
[16:52] Tsugumi
But once the fighting starts,
we're probably gonna be Kishin fodder.
[16:57] Musashi
We'll just have to figure a way out of it.
[17:00] Musashi
Like we did when we came up with
that plan to fight together!
[17:04] Tsugumi
Yeah.
[17:06] Kojiro
You're right.
[17:08] Musashi
No matter what happens, the three of us...
[17:10] Kojiro
We'll get through this together!
[17:13] Guard
Put those on! Blondie and the girl
head right! The redhead heads left!
[17:21] Kojiro
Musashi!
[17:24] Musashi
I'm on my own...
[17:29] Musashi
Calm down.
You know the first order of business.
[17:33] Musashi
Don't let them look down on you!
[17:37] Musashi
This is...
[17:42] Musashi
I can see it! I can see it clearly!
[17:45] Narration
In this moment,
Musashi's special gift activated...
[17:50] Narration
The ability to read a crowd and instantly
[17:54] Narration
determine the hierarchy
among its constituents.
[17:57] Sign
Uncle
[17:57] Sign
Auntie
[17:57] Narrator
It was a critical skill he mastered
to survive his harsh upbringing.
[18:01] Musashi
First, let's subtly scope things out...
[18:07] Musashi
Looks like there are already factions.
[18:11] Musashi
They're being cagey and keeping distance.
[18:13] Musashi
That tells me this is the first time
they've really interacted.
[18:17] Musashi
They don't know each other well.
[18:19] Musashi
They're still figuring out where
they stand with each other.
[18:23] Musashi
Which means I have a
chance to assert myself.
[18:28] Musashi
My next move will determine
my future standing!
[18:33] Katsumi
I'd like to clear something up first thing.
[18:36] Katsumi
Who among us is strongest?
[18:38] Katsumi
That's who should take command.
[18:40] Musashi
Here we go!
[18:41] Haruhisa
Fine by us.
[18:45] Musashi
It's that guy...
[18:49] Katsumi
I am the son of Amako Hisami,
head of the Amako Band.
SIGN Amako Band
Amako Katsumi
[18:54] Katsumi
Amako Katsumi.
[18:59] Akihiro
Shimazu Akihiro of the Shimazu Band.
SIGN Shimazu Band
Shimazu Akihiro
[19:06] Keiji
The Shimazu?!
[19:07] Hikaru
What's the son of a major clan doing here?!
[19:09] Musashi
What, he's the kid of some hotshot?
[19:15] Katsumi
Likely the third or fourthborn son
from some mistress.
[19:20] Katsumi
Unceremoniously kicked to the battlefield.
[19:22] Haruhisa
Tch.
[19:23] Natsuki
Oh, if it isn't Master Amako of
the weakest band in the alliance!
[19:29] Akihiro
Trying to regain some glory
for your washed-up clan?
[19:31] Katsumi
What was that?
[19:33] Akihiro
You don't seem too smart
about the fights you pick.
[19:36] Katsumi
Shut up!
[19:38] Musashi
Everyone here seems about as old as me.
[19:41] Musashi
Other than Kojiro, I don't think I've ever
had it out with anyone my age before.
[19:48] Musashi
What's with the veiled samurai?
[19:52] Musashi
Michiru?
[19:53] Musashi
Hey, Michiru!
[19:54] Musashi
We ended up coming!
[19:57] Musashi
Huh? You don't seem too happy...
[20:01] Michiru
This battle is going to be dangerous,
[20:04] Michiru
s-so I'm worried about you.
[20:08] Musashi
She's worried about me?
[20:10] Musashi
I thought I was gonna be on
my own, but I guess not!
[20:15] Shige
Hey, can you do something about them?
[20:17] Musashi
What do you mean?
[20:18] Mamori
We're in the same unit, and they're
fighting! It's just too hostile.
[20:22] Katsumi
If you're a Bushi, why not prove
your strength with your sword?!
[20:25] Shige
They talk big, but it amounts
to fighting for a promotion.
[20:28] Shige
Becoming a squad leader
[20:29] Shige
means getting to meet the
bigwigs of the Uesugi house.
[20:34] Musashi
That could be my chance
to find out about Pops!
[20:36] Mamori
I wish someone else would
become squad leader...
[20:40] Mamori
Those two are scary.
[20:42] Musashi
I'm thinking I wanna test
my sword skills out, too.
[20:46] Musashi
Okay, I'll do it.
[20:47] Shige
Wait, seriously?
[20:50] Musashi
I want in, too.
[20:51] Katsumi
Very well. This is how
we'll determine the winner.
[20:55] Musashi
What d'you mean?
[20:56] Natsuki
You stupid or something? You fight
with the blunt side of your sword.
[20:59] Natsuki
This is how Bushi settle things.
[21:01] Katsumi
Mortal combat between Bushi
is against the military code,
[21:04] Katsumi
so we fight with blades that cannot cut...
[21:08] Katsumi
until one man is left standing.
[21:10] Musashi
This Bushi business sounds good to me!
[21:13] Hikaru?
It's a three-way!
[21:15] Katsumi
