[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
[02:20] Sign
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.

[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.

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!

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!

[11:45] Naoe
Let's see which is stronger!
[11:49] Seiroku
He's...
[11:50] Seiroku
He's turning his blade energy on himself!

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!
