[00:01] Uesugi Bushi 1-17
    The oni have been wiped out!
[00:04] Musashi
    What a relief. Looks like the
    Uesugi Bushi won with ease.
[00:10] Musashi
    Hey, you made it back okay, too!
[00:12] Akihiro
    I didn't contribute much...
[00:15] Kuroko
    Naturally.
[00:16] Kuroko
    The blade energy chain can only be joined
    by those who've trained together.
[00:20] Kuroko
    You should hurry and rendezvous
    with your squad.
[00:23] Kuroko
    No Bushi can fight alone, boy.
[00:27] Musashi
    That's right!
[00:29] Akihiro
    Get a load of the spectator.
[00:31] Musashi
    Damn it! If I only had my Kitetsu Blade...
[00:34] Naoe
    We don't know how the enemy got inside.
[00:36] Naoe
    There could be more in hiding.
[00:38] Naoe
    While we wait for word from our lord,
    I want the entire castle swept.
[00:41] Naoe Subordinates
    Yes, sir!
[00:42] Kuroko
    Kanetatsu, doesn't this strike you as odd?
[00:44] Naoe
    Yeah.
[00:45] Naoe
    They've never gotten into
     the castle before, so what gives?
[00:49] Shiro
    I opened an entrance
    for them with my technique!
[00:54] Musashi
    It's that guy!
[00:56] Shiro
    Good to see you again!
SIGN    Inukai Shiro
    of the Obsidian Eight
[01:00] Musashi
    Why're you here?!
[01:01] Naoe
    Who the hell are you?
[01:03] Shiro
    Hey, guess what this is!
[01:05] Kuroko
    That's...
[01:07] Kuroko
    our lord's Kitetsu Blade!
[01:09] Naoe
    The lord...
[01:14] Villager 1-17
    Has our lord fallen?
[01:15] Villager 2-17
    It can't be...
[01:17] Shiro
    I took Eyepatch's soul.
[01:21] Shiro
    It had a nice color to it...
[01:23] Shiro
    And he made such a great face,
    right up until the very end.
[01:27] Kuroko
    Is he with the Black Dogs?
[01:30] Naoe
    Bastard!
[01:36] Kuroko
    Everyone, link your blade energy!
[01:38] Kuroko
    We face a single foe!
[01:39] Kuroko
    Even with just the Uesugi,
    we're five thousand strong!
[01:42] Naoe
    Kuroko?
[01:43] Kuroko
    Stay calm, Kanetatsu.
[01:44] Kuroko
    The Uesugi's strength
    is our blade energy chain.
[01:47] Kuroko
    Let's show him that!
[01:49] Naoe
    You got that right.
[01:56] Musashi
    A-All of this...
[01:58] Naoe
    Don't think you're getting out of here alive!
SIGN    Memories of Stone
[03:34] Tsugumi
    This is great!
    All the guards were called away.
[03:37] Kojiro
    Let's use this chance to
    find Musashi's sword.
[03:49] Kuroko
    You're alone out here.
[03:50] Kuroko
    And a Bushi with no comrades
    to link with is nothing to fear!
[04:02] Kuroko
    He lost the link-up?
[04:06] Naoe
    What are you people doing?!
[04:09] Naoe
    What in the world...

[04:19] Seiroku's Power Signs
    INFECTION
[04:22] Shiro
    I forcibly cut your blade energy connection.
[04:26] Kuroko
    He severed the connection?!
[04:28] Shiro
    That's how his technique works.
[04:31] Musashi
    Who?
[04:33] Seiroku
    Shiro, you dolt. Don't go blabbing
    about your ally's powers.
[04:38] Shiro
    What ally?
[04:40] Seiroku
    Me, obviously!
[04:41] Seiroku
    You seriously have no concept of
    camaraderie or fraternity, do you?
[04:47] Shiro
    I have no concept of most
    the stuff you talk about.
[04:50] Seiroku
    Well then, let's split the
    work between us, brother.
[04:54] Seiroku
    You and I are gonna wipe
    out the Uesugi Bushi.
SIGN    Inukawa Seiroku
    of the Obsidian Eight
[05:00] Naoe
    You obsidian curs think
    you can wipe us out?
[05:04] Seiroku
    Ladies and gentlemen of the
    Uesugi Band, it's a pleasure!
[05:07] Seiroku
    I see the head of your family is no more.
     My condolences.
[05:11] Seiroku
    What a pity.
[05:21] Seiroku
    Same approach, same outcome.
[05:25] Seiroku's Power Signs
    NECROSIS
[05:25] Seiroku
    Sadly for you, my technique puts
     a cap on yours.
[05:28] Seiroku's Power Signs
    NECROSIS
[05:29] Seiroku
    You folks aren't going to be linking
    Blade Energy during this fight.
[05:33] Naoe
    Doesn't look like he's bluffing...
[05:36] Seiroku
    Now, what does a crowd like this
    do when their bag of tricks is tied
[05:39] Seiroku
    and they find themselves at a disadvantage?
[05:41] Seiroku
    Should be an interesting study.
[05:43] Seiroku
    Bushi tend to be a lot weaker
    on an individual basis.
[05:47] Seiroku
    There's no way you'll be able
    to hunt Yamata no Orochi tomorrow.
[05:51] Kuroko
    How do you know about that?
[05:52] Seiroku
    Shiro! Finish them off.
[05:54] Shiro
    Nah!
[06:00] Shiro
    It's seriously great seeing you again!
[06:02] Tamekuni
    He was here in an instant!
[06:03] Naoe
    On your guard! His techniques are bizarre!
[06:07] Seiroku
    Shiro, you dumbass!
[06:08] Seiroku
    You're not supposed to mess with him!
    You're supposed to mess up the Uesugi!
[06:13] Shiro
    Don't care!
    The Uesugi aren't very interesting.
[06:17] Shiro
    There might be some good-looking swords here...
[06:22] Shiro
    But you're what's really special!
[06:26] Musashi
    There's something weirdly
    intimidating about this guy.
[06:29] Shiro
    Huh?
[06:31] Shiro
    And yet... something about her
    reminds me of the goddess, too.
[06:34] Shiro
    Why's that?
[06:35] Musashi
    What are you talking about, man?
[06:38] Shiro
    I'd love to chat more,
[06:40] Shiro
    but I'm a little busy today.
[06:44] Shiro
    You shouldn't be here.
[06:46] Shiro
    Because this castle is about to get flattened.
[06:49] Musashi
    Are you going to go nuts again?!
[06:51] Masaki
    Master Kanetatsu, there's only two of them,
[06:54] Masaki
    and we've got the the alliance forces with us.
[06:58] Shiro
    As much as it pains me...
[07:00] Musashi
    I'm not going anywhere!
[07:02] Musashi
    Not when my friends are still here!
[07:08] Shiro
    This is goodbye!
[07:12] Musashi
    What is this?!
[07:14] Kuroko
    He disappeared?!
[07:15] Shiro
    Nope.
[07:16] Shiro
    He just switched places...
[07:19] Shiro
    with something on Awaji Island.
[07:20] Naoe
    Something on Awaji Island?
[07:22] Akihiro
    That's...
[07:23] Amako
    The Kishin... Yamata no Orochi!
[07:25] Kuroko
    That's one of its heads!
[07:28] Seiroku
    I like to think of it as
    "calling upon the gods."
[07:45] Kojiro
    Musashi...
[07:50] Musashi
    Where am I?
[07:53] Yataro
    The heart of Awaji Island.
[07:56] Yataro
    Shiro will be assailing the
    Uesugi castle as we speak...
[08:01] Yataro
    using his heretical methods.
[08:03] Musashi
    That voice...
[08:04] Yataro
    You've done excellent work, Michiru.
[08:08] Musashi
    You're Michiru's father, right?
[08:11] Yataro
    She is my daughter, yes.
[08:13] Yataro
    I shall see her disposed of. Hand her over.
[08:15] Musashi
    Not happening!
[08:17] Yataro
    Then I shall simply kill you...
[08:21] Yataro
    and retrieve the Obsidian Goddess.
[08:24] Musashi
    Again with this?
[08:26] Yataro
    The immense power of the Obsidian Goddess
[08:29] Yataro
    is like a compass that can set the course of
    our far eastern lands, and it will be mine.
[08:35] Musashi
    Quit yammering and bring it already!
[08:37] Yataro
    I'm guessing from your reaction that you
    don't know what became of her previous vessel.
[08:42] Musashi
    What previous vessel...?
[08:45] Goddess
    Jisai was killed before we
    could finish what we started.
[08:50] Musashi
    You...
[08:52] Musashi
    Do you know Kanemaki Jisai?
[08:55] Yataro
    Kanemaki Jisai?
[08:58] Musashi
    Is he just playing dumb?
[09:00] Yataro
    Or is that some sort of death
    poem you were reciting?
[09:04] Yataro
    In that case, die.
[09:07] Musashi
    I'm not sure how far I'll
    get with this sword...
[09:10] Musashi
    But I'm not letting him have Michiru!
[09:15] Musashi
    Michiru? You're awake?
[09:16] Yataro
    Ah, you've awoken, Michiru.
[09:19] Yataro
    Go ahead and restrain the boy.
    I will strike him down.
[09:22] Musashi
    Michiru...
[09:26] Michiru
    Father.
[09:28] Michiru
    Please, don't kill him.
[09:33] Yataro
    Are you betraying me?
[09:36] Michiru
    I'm begging you.
[09:39] Yataro
    Michiru, your body is damaged.
    You're not thinking straight.
[09:45] Yataro
    Wouldn't you agree?
[09:47] Michiru
    No. I'm thinking clearly, Father.
[09:50] Yataro
    Then why won't you work?
[09:52] Yataro
    I ordered you to kill this boy.
[09:56] Michiru
    Why...? I'm not sure.
[10:00] Michiru
    I understand what I'm supposed to do.
[10:02] Michiru
    And I've thought of killing him before...
[10:07] Michiru
    But... if he dies...
[10:11] Michiru
    we'll never be able to speak again
    or laugh together.
[10:15] Michiru
    And the warm feeling I get
    in my chest when we do...
[10:21] Michiru
    The thought of losing all of that...
[10:26] Michiru
    I-I just can't do it.
[10:30] Michiru
    Maybe something really is
    wrong with me, Father.
[10:36] Musashi
    Michiru...
[10:39] Michiru
    B-But I want to help you, too!
[10:43] Michiru
    I honestly can't think of a time
[10:46] Michiru
    that you've shown me any modicum of kindness...
[10:50] Michiru
    But, still, I want to be of use
    to you and make you happy.
[10:58] Michiru
    I understand you don't
    care for me, but even so...
[11:06] Michiru
    Isn't it strange?
[11:11] Musashi
    I...
[11:13] Musashi
    I just thought of this guy
    as some creepy old jerk.
[11:19] Musashi
    But... to Michiru, he's family.
[11:23] Musashi
    Someone she cares about.
[11:26] Musashi
    I thought helping her
    would mean running away together.
[11:30] Musashi
    Or kicking this old guy's butt.
[11:34] Musashi
    But that's not really the solution, is it?
[11:42] Yataro
    You want to save his life
    yet still do as I request.
[11:46] Yataro
    Have you any way to accomplish this?
[11:49] Michiru
    Y-Yes!
[11:51] Michiru
    We might be able to retrieve the
    Obsidian Goddess without killing Musashi.
[11:54] Michiru
    I'll do the research to find out how!
[11:56] Michiru
    I'm sure I can do it!
    Because I'm your daughter!
[12:00] Yataro
    Michiru...
[12:11] Yataro
    It seems you've inherited
    my enthusiasm for study.
[12:16] Yataro
    To be honest, I always thought of you
    more like a doll than anything...
[12:21] Yataro
    But now, you feel like my own flesh and blood.
[12:23] Yataro
    You are, truly, my darling daughter.
[12:27] Michiru
    F-Father...!
[12:32] Musashi
    What gives?
    He's acting so nice all of a sudden.
[12:35] Musashi
    But something's wrong.
[12:38] Musashi
    Is that how you smile
    at your darling daughter?
[12:45] Musashi
    Damn it! I knew it!
[12:46] Musashi
    What do you think you're doing?! Back off!
[12:48] Michiru
    Father?!
[12:52] Yataro
    Goodbye, Michiru.
[13:03] Musashi
    Michiru!
[13:10] Naoe
    Get the civilians underground!
[13:11] Naoe
    We have to hold out until they're secure!
[13:13] Seiroku
    Kitetsu Blade: Smothering Sutured Edge.
[13:17] Seiroku
    Lacerate, rend, and pulverize!
[13:18] Seiroku's Power Signs
    LACERATE
[13:20] Seiroku
    Where I'm striking should
     cause enough pain to knock you out.
[13:25] Seiroku
    But you're a real fighter, aren't you?
     How about this, then?
[13:32] Seiroku
    That's one fancy dragon tattoo...
[13:35] Seiroku
    I bet you're proud of it after being
     given the draconic "Tastu" to your name.
[13:38] Naoe
    How do you know about that?
[13:41] Seiroku
    To be honest, I think they're ugly.
[13:51] Shiro
    This is so boring.
    The Uesugi Band didn't put up a fight at all.
[13:56] Shiro
    I wonder if we've got the
    Obsidian Goddess yet.
[13:59] Musashi
    Michiru!
[14:01] Musashi
    You... What the hell did you do to her?!
[14:05] Yataro
    I silenced her.
[14:07] Yataro
    Michiru failed in her mission,
[14:10] Yataro
    in addition to shedding pathetic tears
    in an attempt to buy my sympathy.
[14:16] Musashi
    Buy your sympathy?
[14:18] Musashi
    You're wrong! Michiru...
[14:21] Musashi
    When you said she was
    your darling daughter,
[14:24] Musashi
    those were tears of joy! But you...
[14:29] Musashi
    You just...
[14:31] Yataro
    It's not as if I've killed her.
[14:33] Yataro
    You don't understand a
    thing about her, it seems.
[14:37] Musashi
    How can you say that?!
[14:39] Yataro
    That stone form is her true nature.
[14:43] Musashi
    What are you talking about?
[14:45] Yataro
    Michiru is no ordinary human.
[14:48] Yataro
    She is beyond human... A creation of mine
    to result in more perfect offspring.
[14:53] Yataro
    An oni child.
[14:57] Yataro
    I implant a Kitetsu fragment
    in select children,
[15:00] Yataro
    allowing it to assimilate into their bodies.
[15:03] Yataro
    Of those, my daughters who've
    combined with the Kitetsu
[15:06] Yataro
    of Orochi's offspring have
    been particularly talented.
[15:09] Musashi
    You combine them... with oni?
[15:11] Yataro
    Yet Michiru was a failure.
[15:13] Musashi
    That's what you think of her?
[15:15] Yataro
    Indeed. She had no more
    power than a normal human.
[15:20] Yataro
    She was one of many daughters
    I had cast aside.
[15:23] Yataro
    I have no need for inferior
    children who cannot contribute!
[15:27] Yataro
    A child who has no value to its parents
     has no reason to exist.
[15:32] Musashi
    Don't say that.
[15:35] Musashi
    Are you saying that unless you're useful...
[15:38] Musashi
    Unless you can live up
    to your parents' hopes...
[15:42] Musashi
    You don't deserve to be alive?
[15:46] Musashi
    That's not right.
[15:48] Musashi
    Michiru's no failure.
[15:51] Musashi
    She was scared to death of you forsaking her,
[15:55] Musashi
    but she still tried to protect me.
[15:58] Musashi
    She's so brave and kind...
    She's amazing!
[16:03] Musashi
    So don't just cut her off.
[16:08] Musashi
    You would've killed her if you
    didn't have doubts, right?
[16:14] Yataro
    Michiru is a special child, after all.
[16:17] Musashi
    Then...
[16:19] Yataro
    Now come back, Michiru!
[16:28] Musashi
    Michiru!
[16:29] Musashi
    Thank goodness.
[16:31] Musashi
    You're back to normal!
[16:34] Michiru
    Musashi.
[16:39] Michiru
    Who are you?
[16:42] Musashi
    Michiru...?
[16:43] Michiru
    What's a Michiru?
[16:45] Yataro
    That's your name.
[16:48] Musashi
    What's going on here?
[16:49] Yataro
    Michiru's memories have
    been completely reset.
[16:53] Musashi
    Reset?
[16:56] Yataro
    I emptied her head.
[16:58] Yataro
    Michiru can wield Kitetsu Blades.
    All I truly require is her body.
[17:03] Yataro
    So I erased her experiences with humans
[17:06] Yataro
    and all the feelings she derived
     from those experiences.
[17:09] Musashi
    You erased them?
[17:11] Yataro
    Michiru is little more than
    a blank slate now. A doll.
[17:16] Musashi
    Why?
[17:17] Yataro
    Why? Because it was all in the way.
[17:21] Yataro
    I have no use for a child's personality.
[17:23] Yataro
    Offspring must be loyal
    subordinates to their parents.
[17:27] Michiru
    Yes, Father!
[17:34] Musashi
    I swear...
[17:42] Musashi
    I won't let you get away with this!
[17:52] Michiru
    Right there, Father!
[17:54] Michiru
    Get him!
[17:55] Michiru
    You can do it, Father!
[17:57] Musashi
    No way...
[18:03] Musashi
    Damn... I'm not getting any blade energy!
[18:05] Yataro
    It's pointless. Without your own
    Kitetsu Blade, you have no chance.
[18:10] Yataro
    You can die now, so that the
    Obsidian Goddess will be mine!
[18:14] Michiru
    Get him, Father!
[18:16] Yataro
    Kitetsu Blade: Progenitor's Black Lightning!
[18:25] Michiru
    I am my father's daughter.
    I am my father's daughter.
[18:31] Musashi
    This can't be...
[18:32] Michiru
    I love you, Father!
[18:35] Musashi
    This can't be!
[18:42] Musashi
    It can't...
[18:45] Michiru
    Father!
[18:49] Musashi
    Damn it...
[18:54] Yataro
    Die!
[19:02] Musashi
    Michiru?
[19:06] Michiru
    Musashi...
[19:08] Michiru
    Huh? But who's that?
[19:15] Musashi
    Michiru—
[19:17] Yataro
    You little fool.
[19:19] Yataro
    It seems the memories
    yet cling to your body.
[19:23] Yataro
    Michiru, as long as you
    continue to defy me...
[19:28] Yataro
    Until you finally learn,
     I will time and time again
[19:32] Yataro
    erase your joy and sorrow!
     I will erase everything!
[19:38] Michiru
    Yes, Father.
[19:44] Musashi
    Michiru!
[19:49] Shiro
    Time's running out for my technique.
[19:52] Shiro
    Man, I wish something fun would happen.
[19:59] Shiro
    That's...
[20:00] Uesugi Bushi 2-17
    It's the Takeda!
[20:01] Uesugi Bushi 3-17
    Those are Takeda reinforcements!
[20:05] Naotora
    Tatsuomi! Where are you?!
[20:06] Shiro
    If you're looking for the
    Uesugi boss, I took him.
[20:10] Naotora
    And you are?
[20:11] Shiro
    Inukai Shiro. And, uh, who're you?
[20:16] Naotora
    The leader of the Takeda Band.
[20:18] Naotora
    Takeda Naotora.
[20:21] Shiro
    Now this should be fun!
[20:29] Naoe
    Without the ability to link blade energy,
     you can't even defend yourself.
[20:33] Naoe
    What a pity.
[20:35] Naoe
    Let's put you out of your misery.
[20:38] Naoe
    Looks like time's up.
    The name's Inukawa Seiroku.
[20:42] Naoe
    Naoe Kanetatsu.
[20:44] Seiroku
    Next time we meet,
    I'll make sure to collect your head.
[20:48] Naoe
    I'll be taking yours.
[22:34] Tsugumi
    Musashi!
[22:35] Kojiro
    You're awake!
[22:38] Musashi
    Where are we?
[22:39] Tsugumi
    This is an emergency hospital
    they put together yesterday.
[22:42] Musashi
    Yesterday...?
[22:45] Musashi
    It's been a whole night since then?
[22:50] Musashi
    What a mess. They wrecked the place.
[22:53] Kojiro
    We weren't able to fight back, after all...
[22:55] Tsugumi
    It was so scary.
[22:57] Tsugumi
    I didn't think Yamata no Orochi
    would be that strong.
[23:00] Kojiro
    Yeah...
[23:01] Bushi 1-17
    The Uesugi Band is done for.
[23:04] Bushi 2-17
    Let's get out of here.
[23:05] Tsugumi
    People keep deserting...
[23:08] Kojiro
    Most of our squad's gone already.
[23:13] Musashi
    I wonder how my squad's doing.
[23:16] Naoe
    Say, your name's Musashi, right?
[23:19] Musashi
    Master Naoe? You're hurt pretty bad!
[23:22] Naoe
    Musashi, I need to talk to you.
[23:24] Musashi
    Me?
[23:26] Naoe
    I'm past pretense at this point.
[23:29] Naoe
    Please. We need your help.
[23:32] Naoe
    To defeat this Kishin...
[23:34] Naoe
    we'll need the power of the
    Obsidian Goddess inside of you.
