[00:01] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    Kanetatsu, you're the strongest
    Bushi in the Uesugi Band.
[00:05] (Flashback) Naoe
    My lord...
[00:07] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    Promise me, Kanetatsu...
[00:09] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    If I'm ever gone and the
    Uesugi Band is in danger,
[00:14] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    you must protect them.
[00:17] Naoe
    My lord entrusted me with that duty.
[00:21] Naoe
    But I lost to this dog. I was powerless.
[00:25] Naoe
    I couldn't protect my band!
[00:30] Seiroku
    Die!
[00:32] Seiroku
    What?!
[00:34] Naoe
    I'll never forgive him for that.
[00:36] Naoe
    But more importantly...
[00:39] Naoe
    I can't forgive letting the people
    I cherish get hurt and die...
[00:43] Naoe
    because of my weakness!
[00:46] Seiroku
    My Smothering Sutured Edge!
[00:48] Naoe
    Now!

    INFECTION INFECTION INFECTION INFECTION
[02:23] Masaki
    Master Kanetatsu did it!
[02:24] Kuroko
    The seal has been broken!
SIGN    A Matter of Trust
SIGN    All of you will now head to Awaji Island and shatter Yamata no Orochi's eight horns!
SIGN    Third Deployment:
    2,500 Black-Clad
    Elite Uesugi Soldiers
[02:32] Kuroko
    You're finally free to make it happen.
[02:34] Kuroko
    The time has come to crush
    the foes of the Uesugi!
[02:38] Kuroko
    The rest is up to you, Kanetatsu.
SIGN    Awaji Island
    Northeast Coast
[02:41] Naoe
    Kuroko has you beat, Inukawa Seiroku.
[02:46] Seiroku
    So setting the island ablaze
[02:48] Seiroku
    was really to create a smokescreen
    that'd let you get close.
[02:52] Seiroku
    In fact, she arranged this
    entire ruse to that end.
[02:54] Seiroku
    To put you here.
[02:56] Naoe
    That's right.
[02:57] Naoe
    The tables have turned!
    And you're out of luck!
[03:01] Seiroku
    I'll admit this much.
[03:03] Seiroku
    She's got me beat as a tactician.
[03:06] Seiroku
    But the thing is...
[03:07] Naoe
    He drew a second sword?
[03:09] Seiroku
    You aren't going to reach the Kishin's horns.
[03:13] Seiroku
    Because I'm going to kill you
    and all or your elite soldiers.
[03:17] Seiroku
    And once Shiro takes the
    Obsidian Goddess, victory will be ours.
[03:22] Naoe
    No. The Obsidian Goddess
    isn't going anywhere.
[03:26] Naoe
    Because our backup should
    be at Yura Mine by now.
SIGN    Second Uesugi Deployment:
     1,000 Takeda Soldiers
[03:34] Shige
    Takeda reinforcements!
[03:35] Mamori
    We're saved!
[03:36] Shiro
    Huh? What're you doing here?
[03:40] Naotora
    I'm the only one who can take you on.
[03:43] Sanae
    Should we forget about the explosives, then?
[03:45] Amako
    It seems like this was all part
     of Lady Usami's plan.
[03:49] Musashi
    Wait, are you serious?
    Does that mean we were just bait?
[03:53] Naotora
    What are you talking about, Musashi?
[03:56] Naotora
    This is where your real job starts.
[03:59] Naotora
    Right now, the Uesugi forces are going all in
     on cracking the Kishin's horns.
[04:05] Naotora
    But to succeed, we'll need to deal
    with the black dogs first.
[04:09] Naotora
    Naoe's got one.
[04:11] Naotora
    I've got this guy.
[04:15] Naotora
    That leaves the last one for you, Musashi!
[04:20] Musashi
    Sounds good to me!
[04:31] Naoe
    I'm going to beat you.
[04:33] Naoe
    I swear it on my title as a first-class
    red Bushi, granted to me by my lord.
[04:38] Naoe
    And I will protect my bandmates!
[04:40] Naoe
    That was the duty entrusted to me!
[04:44] Seiroku
    A lot of awfully obnoxious
    resolve you've got there.
[04:46] Seiroku
    I'll deal with that the same way
    I did your dragon tattoo.
[04:51] Naoe
    Here I come!
[04:54] Seiroku
    Smothering Sutured Edge! Take this!
[04:59] Naoe
    Is that the best you can do?!
[05:01] Seiroku
    What?!
[05:02] Naoe
    I'll blow it away!
[05:03] Naoe
    Dragon-Toothed Chain Sword!
[05:08] Seiroku
    He's—
[05:17] Seiroku
    How is it that every red Bushi
    I've met is a brute?
[05:20] Naoe
    Inukawa Seiroku.
    You're a yellow blade, aren't you?
[05:25] Naoe
    You've got excellent reach,
    but you aren't actually all that strong.
[05:30] Naoe
    The difference in our power is clear!
[05:33] Seiroku
    You've got me there! Which is why I'll
    be using one of my special tricks.
[05:38] Seiroku

    What is this? I see words.
[06:18] Naoe
    I-Is he...
[06:20] Naoe
    Wh-What's going on? I can't see anything...
[06:27] Seiroku
    Sorry, I guess I spooked you
    when I touched you just now...
[06:30] Seiroku
    Considering you're totally blind.
[06:32] Naoe
    What the hell did you do to me?!
[06:34] Naoe
    I am indeed a yellow blade.
[06:37] Naoe
    A lot like your master, honestly.
[06:39] Naoe
    Like my lord?
[06:40] Seiroku
    Do you understand what's
    about to happen to you?
[06:43] Seiroku
    I'm going to, very thoroughly,
    dissect you piece by piece.
[06:47] Naoe
    I can't let an enemy
    I can't see get too close.
[06:50] Naoe
    So...
[06:52] Naoe
    I'll have to chase him off!
[06:55] Naoe
    If I lash out in every direction,
    I should be able to drive him back!
[07:01] Seiroku
    It's easy to tell what you're thinking.
[07:04] Seiroku
    But you can't repel me when you can't see me.

[07:33] Seiroku
    The pain would be enough
    to make most folks faint,
[07:35] Seiroku
    feeling like your nerves
    are totally exposed.
[07:40] Naoe
    You can cause all of this at will?
[07:43] Seiroku
    Everything I diagnose, I make reality.
[07:47] Naoe
    H-How am I supposed fight that?
[07:52] Naoe
    But...
[07:56] Naoe
    I can't afford... to lose...
[08:00] Naoe
    I won't let your foul technique
     hurt my comrades!

[08:23] Seiroku
    But, bit by bit, I'm rendering you helpless.
[08:28] Naoe
    I...
[08:30] (Flashback) Naoe
    I can't compare to you, my lord.
[08:33] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    You're mistaken. My yellow blade can
    make my comrades stronger,
[08:38] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    but it's ill suited to raise hell
    on the front lines.
[08:41] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    And one cannot change the color
    of the soul they're born with.
[08:44] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    To be honest, I'm envious of you.
[08:46] (Flashback) Naoe
    My lord...
[08:49] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    Promise me, Kanetatsu...
[08:51] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    If I'm ever gone and the
    Uesugi Band is in danger,
[08:56] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    you must protect them.
[09:00] Seiroku
    You'll never stand or carry a blade again.
[09:06] Seiroku
    You're no invincible hero.
     You're powerless.
[09:12] Naoe
    I...
[09:22] Seiroku
    Come on now, Naoe Kanetatsu.
[09:25] Seiroku
    Look. Your friends have almost made it ashore.
[09:29] Seiroku
    Oh, wait. You can't see.
[09:32] Sign
    BLACKOUT
[09:33] Seiroku
    I lifted the blade energy
    affecting your eyes.
[09:36] Seiroku
    Now you'll get to watch your men die.
[09:39] Seiroku
    And with your limbs in shambles,
    you won't be able to do much about it.
[09:43] Seiroku
    Y'know, I really do pity you. I mean it.
[09:48] Seiroku
    You're supposed to save your
    comrades, right? I get that.
[09:52] Seiroku
    I actually used to be a doctor.
[10:01] Seiroku
    But in a band of Bushi, anyone with
    special powers ends up suffering for it.
[10:06] Seiroku
    You've always get a handful of powerful
    fighters and a mob of hanger-ons...
[10:13] Seiroku
    None of them hesitate to push
    the hardest jobs off on others
[10:16] Seiroku
    while they kick back and
    offer hollow encouragement.
[10:19] Seiroku
    They just expect more and more.
[10:23] Seiroku
    I'm sure your friends are the same kind
    of trash that isn't worth protecting.
[10:27] Seiroku
    Am I wrong?
[10:30] Seiroku
    Is he...
[10:32] Seiroku
    There's no way he can grasp a
    sword with his fingers shattered.
[10:46] Seiroku
    He's using the bloody bandages?
[10:52] Naoe
    I don't give... a damn... about your story.
[10:57] Naoe
    Sounds like...
[11:00] Naoe
    you choked under the pressure
    of your comrades' expectations.
[11:06] Naoe
    But to me, those expectations
    are a source of pride!
[11:11] Seiroku
    You little punk...
[11:13] Naoe
    The elite soldiers are coming.
    I need to end this before they arrive.
[11:18] Naoe
    I'm not letting my comrades
    suffer at your hands.
[11:21] Naoe
    Being the top red blade makes me
     the strongest in the band.
[11:24] Naoe
    I cannot lose!

[11:40] Naoe
    These cheap little strings of blade energy
    you caught me in, or my red blade energy?
[11:45] Naoe
    Let's see which is stronger!
[11:49] Seiroku
    He's...
[11:50] Seiroku
    He's turning his blade energy on himself!
[11:53] Seiroku
    Does he have a death wish or something?

[12:19] Naoe
    I can move my limbs!
[12:21] Seiroku
    So you were able to use your
    blade energy to cast mine off.
[12:25] Seiroku
    A suicidal show of brute strength.
[12:28] Seiroku
    This is why I hate you red-bladed thugs!
[12:32] Naoe
    Just as I suspected, Inukawa Seiroku.
[12:35] Naoe
    Your technique is merely a cheap trick.
[12:37] Seiroku
    What?
[12:39] Naoe
    It appears to give you a godlike
    power to dictate reality...

    You couldn't get rid of them for good.
[13:05] Seiroku
    Time to break you all over again.
[13:07] Naoe
    Before that happens...
[13:14] Naoe
    I'm going to end this!
[13:16] Seiroku
    I take it you want a duel, then?
[13:19] Seiroku
    You must not think I'm much of a swordsman.
[13:26] Naoe
    H-He's fast!
[13:29] Naoe
    I thought he relied on cheap tricks
    because he's not much of a fighter...
[13:37] Naoe
    But he's genuinely strong
    as a swordsman, too!
[13:41] Naoe
    Losing too much... blood...
[13:43] Seiroku
    That's right! Once the blood's gone,
    you can't force it back in circulation!
[13:47] Seiroku
    Now die!
[13:49] Naoe Subordinates
    Master Kanetatsu!
[13:51] Naoe
    No!
[13:51] Seiroku
    I'll kill all of you at once!
[13:56] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    You must protect them.
[13:59] (Flashback) Naoe
    I'm sorry, sir. I don't have that
    kind of faith in my abilities.
[14:05] (Flashback) Naoe
    There've been too many times
    I failed to save someone...
[14:09] (Flashback) Naoe
    Not to mention your left eye.
[14:11] (Flashback) Naoe
    If I were truly strong, you'd still have it!
[14:17] (Flashback) Naoe
    Invincible heroes don't really exist.
[14:21] (Flashback) Naoe
    That's the truth, isn't it?
[14:23] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    Yeah. You're right about that.
[14:28] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    Still... when you're a leader of men,
    you must pretend you can do anything.
[14:35] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    That's what gives your people hope.
[14:38] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    It's the fate of those born into power.
[14:41] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    You and I are the same in that sense.
[14:44] (Flashback) Naoe
    We are?
[14:46] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    That's right.
[14:48] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    I'm supposed to be the head of a band,
[14:50] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    but as a Bushi, I'm so weak that
    I can't even fight on my own.
[14:55] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    What I'm lacking frustrates
    me like you wouldn't believe.
[14:59] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    But Kanetatsu... you're strong.
[15:02] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    And with you at my side,
[15:04] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    even an imperfect man like me can
    stand tall like a champion for everyone else.
[15:14] Seiroku
    What the—
[15:16] (Flashback) Naoe
    I'm not perfect, sir.
[15:21] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    You don't have to be.
[15:22] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    But I still need you.
[15:26] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    Kanetatsu, you will win.
[15:31] Seiroku
    This can't...
[15:34] (Flashback) Tatsuomi
    I know it.
[15:45] Naoe Subordinates
    Master Kanetatsu!
[15:46] Naoe
    I can't take a knee in front of my men...
[15:50] Naoe
    Being the first-ranked red blade
    makes you an invincible hero.
[15:53] Naoe
    And I'm proud of that!
[15:56] Messenger
    Reporting!
[15:57] Messenger
    Master Naoe has struck down
    one of the enemy Bushi!
[16:03] Kuroko
    Kanetatsu... I knew you could do it.
[16:07] Kuroko
    We will now advance to the final phase
    of the plan to liberate Awaji Island!
[16:12] Kuroko
    The greatest hindrance to shattering
    Yamata no Orochi's horns...
[16:15] Kuroko
    is the two remaining black dogs.
[16:17] Kuroko
    The Takeda Band and special force
    will ensure they don't interfere.
SIGN    Special Force:
    Shimazu Squad
[16:23] Akihiro
    We're operating as a squad from here on out!
[16:26] Musashi
    Michiru's dad should be up ahead!
SIGN    Awaji Island Force
     5,000 White-Clad Soldiers
[16:29] Musashi
    Lord Tatsuomi's rescue will be seen to by
    the white-clad forces who've already landed.
[16:33] Kojiro
    We're doing this!
[16:35] Tsugumi
    It's finally our turn!
[16:38] Kuroko
    The only unknown is Inukai Shiro.
[16:43] Kuroko
    His powers are hard to fathom.
    The only one who can deal with him...
[16:48] Kuroko
    is one of the Five Great Generals,
    said to be Hinomoto's strongest...
[16:52] Kuroko
    Lord Takeda Naotora.
[16:56] Shiro
    A cage made from green blade energy, huh?
[16:59] Shiro
    I guess you wanna fight me
    one on one in here. Is that it?
[17:03] Shiro
    Great! Bushi who think like that
    always have the most pristine souls.
[17:07] Shiro
    You sure you wanna do this alone, though?
[17:11] Shiro
    Don't bands usually fight together?
[17:14] Shiro
    That's why they call the captains
     of the biggest bands
[17:19] Shiro
    the Five Great Generals, right?
[17:22] Naotora
    Maybe. Who can say?
[17:25] Shiro
    Well, I'm gonna have to force
    my way out of here anyway.
[17:28] Shiro
    I've got a goddess to go see.
[17:32] Aoshi
    What the hell is with his blade ring?
[17:34] Takeda Bushi
    I've never seen one like it before!
[17:37] Naotora
    I have.
[17:39] Naotora
    That blade ring... I could sense it
    when we crossed blades the other day.
[17:44] Naotora
    I get the feeling I've met you before this.
[17:47] Shiro
    You think? I don't remember you, though.
[17:51] Naotora
    It would've been over ten years ago.
[17:54] Shiro
    Oh, that long? Then I definitely forgot.
[17:58] Naotora
    Is that so?
[18:00] Shiro
    C'mon, I don't care about this right now.
    I'm just gonna go, okay?
[18:03] Naotora
    Nah. I can't have that.
[18:05] Shiro
    But the goddess is a bigger deal to me...
[18:09] Naotora
    I get it. You're kind of obsessed
    with this goddess of yours, huh?
[18:14] Naotora
    The Obsidian Goddess is
    worthless, if you ask me.
[18:18] Naotora
    Your group has been trying to take her,
[18:22] Naotora
    which leads you to clashing
    with other bands.
[18:26] Naotora
    That means she's the source
    of inter-Bushi fighting.
[18:31] Naotora
    I honestly wish that
    trouble-making mess of a woman
[18:34] Naotora
    would do us all a favor and die
    for real. Don't you agree?
[18:42] Shunrai
    Yeowch...
[18:43] Shunrai
    I can't believe he broke my cage
    just by flexing his blade energy.
[18:51] Shiro
    Wow. That's quite a mouth you've got on you.
[18:55] Naotora
    Oh, sorry. Did I upset you?
[18:58] Shiro
    Fine. I'll take your bait.
[19:01] Shiro
    I guess I'll crush all of you
    before going on my way.
[19:05] Shiro
    Kitetsu Blade: Void.
[19:11] Naotora
    What is this?!
[19:12] Shunrai
    Water?!
[19:13] Shunrai
    S-So heavy...!
[19:15] Shiro
    Right now, you're so deep in the ocean
[19:17] Shiro
    that the water pressure is enough
    to crush your organs to mush.
[19:22] Shiro
    Anyone who'd wish for the goddess's demise
    doesn't even deserve to be rust on my blade.
[19:27] Aoshi
    What the hell is this?!
[19:28] Takeda Bushi
    Where'd the captain and the others go?
[19:31] Shiro
    Your friends are inside.
[19:33] Shiro
    The weight of the water is enough
    that it will destroy a human body.
[19:38] Shiro
    This is what I do when fighting someone
    I'd rather not even touch with my sword.
[19:42] Shiro
    Sometimes it's the bottom of the sea.
[19:43] Shiro
    Sometimes it's lava hot enough to melt bone.
[19:46] Shiro
    Send them to a place like that,
    and you can kill an entire band at once.
[19:51] Takeda Bushi
    This guy's a nightmare...
[19:53] Takeda Bushi 2
    Yeah. His power defies any advantage
    in numbers or weapon superiority with ease.
[19:57] Takeda Bushi 2
    His sword is enough to define
    the outcome of a battle!
[20:00] Aoshi
    I'll admit you're a freak of nature
    who's way too much for anyone to handle.
[20:04] Shiro
    Wow, thanks.
[20:06] Aoshi
    Anyone but our captain, that is.
[20:15] Naotora
    Everybody all right?
[20:16] Shunrai
    Yeah! Great save, Captain.
[20:20] Shiro
    How'd he get out of my water prison?
[20:23] Shiro
    He shouldn't have been able
    to move from the pressure...
[20:26] Naotora
    So, that trick you just pulled...
[20:29] Naotora
    Is that the best you can do?
[20:32] Naotora
    You were the one hunting for swords
    at the great eastern mine, right?
[20:35] Naotora
    You match the description.
[20:38] Shiro
    That might've been me...
[20:40] Naotora
    Y'know, I hunt oni,
    but I don't actually hate them.
[20:45] Naotora
    A monster that can't communicate
    might as well be a natural disaster.
[20:49] Naotora
    They're more like earthquakes or plagues.
[20:51] Naotora
    The real trouble is always other people.
[20:54] Naotora
    Those who take advantage of the
     state of the world to cause chaos...
[20:58] Naotora
    People like you.
[20:59] Shiro
    What exactly are you getting at?
[21:02] Naotora
    I deny you.
[21:04] Naotora
    And I'm gonna put you down.
[21:06] Shiro
    I love that expression.
[21:08] Shiro
    Let's settle up, then.
[21:13] Naotora
    We strike at the same speed,
[21:15] Naotora
    so I'll take the upper hand with more energy!
[21:18] Naotora
    Kitetsu Blade:
[21:23] Naotora
    Ao-no-Habakiri!
[21:27] Shiro
    You can have these back!
[21:36] Shunrai
    No way! He can cut and redirect
    the captain's attacks, too?
[21:44] Takeda Bushi
    What in the world is he?!
[21:46] Takeda Bushi
    Red, blue, yellow, green...
    His moves don't match any Bushi's!
[21:50] Aoshi
    I've never seen anything like it!
[21:52] Shiro
    My color? The blade ring's gotten
    kinda dull after everything,
[21:56] Shiro
    but it used to be more like this.
[21:59] Naotora
    That's...
[22:01] Naotora
    A white blade ring.
[22:04] Naotora
    He's a white-bladed Bushi...
    the strongest there is!
