**[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...

What is this?!

**[04:17] Naoe**
You... What have you done to us?
**[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.
