[00:14] Musashi
    Good thing you're a fisher-samurai, Kojiro!
[00:25] Kojiro
    There's no way...
[00:28] Kojiro
    I'd be satisfied just
    being the self-sufficient guy.

[00:36] Musashi
    We can see the whole town from up here.
[00:39] Kojiro
    Where's my steel horse?
[00:44] Kojiro
    There it is!
[00:45] Musashi
    They took our weapons and stuff, too.
[00:48] Musashi
    We better find all of it.
[00:50] Musashi
    It's morning...
[00:51] Kojiro
    Hey, Musashi, look over there.
[01:02] Kojiro
    Something's coming!
SIGN    Choosing Tomorrow
[02:41] Tsugumi
    What should I do?!
[02:44] Tsugumi
    Someone tell me!
[02:46] Kosameda
    Tsugumi!
[02:48] Tsugumi
    My Lord!
[02:49] Kosameda
    There are signs of an incoming attack.
[02:53] Kosameda
    We're going to begin mobilizing
    the entire castle town.
[02:57] Kosameda
    Hand out swords to everyone.
[02:59] Kosameda
    Tell them to become heroes who
    defend their home from oni!
[03:05] Tsugumi
    But that's...
[03:11] Kosameda
    I'm counting on you, Tsugumi.
[03:17] Tsugumi
    N...
[03:19] Tsugumi
    N...
[03:21] Musashi
    If there's something you gotta get out,
[03:25] Musashi
    why not just say it?
[03:27] Tsugumi
    That's right.
[03:30] Kosaemda
    What's with that look?
[03:32] Tsugumi
    The total mobilization...
[03:34] Tsugumi
    I'm against it!
[03:40] Tsugumi
    I'm... not backing down anymore!
[03:46] Kosaemda
    My daughter is turning against me...
[03:49] Kosaemda
    Do you have any idea how much
    this saddens me, Tsugumi?
[03:53] Kosaemda
    For most of your life,
    I've treated you, an orphan,
[03:58] Kosaemda
    like you were my own flesh and blood.
[04:01] Tsugumi
    M-My Lord...
[04:04] Kosameda
    But it seems you don't
    understand my love.
[04:10] Tsugumi
    Your Lordship?!
[04:13] Kosameda
    You...
[04:15] Kosameda
    are of no further use.
[04:19] Kosameda
    Get out of my castle.
[04:22] Kosameda
    You are no longer a member of this band.
[04:25] Kosameda
    No one will pay you any mind ever again.
[04:28] Kosameda
    Live out the rest of your days
    alone in the wilderness.
[04:31] Tsugumi
    Alone...?
[04:39] Kosameda
    If you do as I say, we can act
     like this never happened.
[04:43] Kosameda
    I'll praise your efforts, guide you,
     and let you live in my castle.
[04:48] Tsugumi
    I'll listen... Please don't abandon me.
[04:55] Kosaemda
    Good girl.
[05:02] Kosaemda
    See?
[05:03] Kosaemda
    You can't do anything without me.
    You can't even survive.
[05:11] Kosaemda
    If you understand now, then get to work.
[05:28] Tsugumi
    Tsubame...
[05:29] (Flashback) Tsubame
    I'm a useless idiot.
[05:31] (Flashback) Kosameda
    That's right, Tsubame!
[05:33] (Flashback) Kosameda
    You're so useless, you can't
    do anything without me!
[05:38] (Flashback) Kosameda
    You just need to do what I tell you!
[05:41] (Flashback) Tsubame
    Yes, sir.
[05:42] (Flashback) Kosameda
    Are you worth anything at all?!
[05:47] Tsugumi
    I understand now.
[05:48] Tsugumi
    After hearing all that day in and day out,
[05:52] Tsugumi
    it wore away your confidence
    until you couldn't think at all.
[05:55] Tsugumi
    It must've been so frustrating...
[05:57] Tsugumi
    It must've made you feel so pathetic.
[06:04] Tsugumi
    I've made up my mind...
[06:06] Tsugumi
    I'm going to defy His Lordship
    and protect the people in town.
[06:10] Tsugumi
    So...
[06:12] Tsugumi
    Please, give me the courage, big sister!
[06:15] Kosameda
    Tsugumi.
[06:17] Kosameda
    You can't do anything without me.
[06:20] Tsugumi
    Your Lordship...
[06:22] Kosameda
    If you defy me, I'll chase
    you out of this castle.
[06:26] Kosameda
    The place you belong,
    the people that need you,
[06:29] Kosameda
    everything that you ever cared
    about all belongs to me.
[06:33] Kosameda
    How could you possibly go on
    living without all of that?
[06:40] Tsugumi
    But... I'm doing it anyway!
[06:45] Tsugumi
    I'm not going to do what you say anymore.
[06:48] Tsugumi
    I'm going to protect everyone,
[06:50] Tsugumi
    the way my sister did!
[06:56] Tsugumi
    Wh-Why...?
[06:59] Tsugumi
    Why can't I do it?
[07:00] Kosameda
    Tsugumi.
[07:03] Kosameda
    You just need to do as I tell you!
[07:08] Tsugumi
    N-No!
[07:09] Tsugumi
    Get off me!
[07:28] Tsugumi
    Wh-What are you guys doing here?
[07:30] Kojiro
    Any chance you know where our swords are?
[07:32] Tsugumi
    This is bad! His Lordship said you must
    stay locked up until he wishes!
[07:36] Musashi
    It's all "His Lordship" with you...
[07:39] Musashi
    But who even is that guy to you?
[07:42] Tsugumi
    He...
[07:43] Musashi
    Who cares what the so-called lord has to say?
[07:48] Tsugumi
    But...
[07:49] Tsugumi
    I'm so weak... and dumb...
[07:53] Tsugumi
    Without him,
[07:57] Tsugumi
    I can't do anything.
[07:59] Kojiro
    Weak? You?
[08:01] Musashi
    Nah. You kicked Kojiro's butt.
[08:04] Musashi
    That makes you pretty strong.
[08:05] Kojiro
    Shut it.
[08:06] Musashi
    Besides, you're pretty smart.
[08:09] Musashi
    You seem to know more
    about oni hunting than we do,
[08:13] Musashi
    and that light-up weapon on
    your arms is pretty cool.
[08:18] Musashi
    You're really something else!
[08:24] Kojiro
    Here come the oni.
[08:29] Musashi
    Let's go. We'll give you a lift.
[08:32] Musashi
    You're a Bushi. You're not just
    gonna stand there, are you?
[08:40] Tsubame
    We're also doing this to protect
    people who are weaker than us.
[08:44] Tsubame
    That's the Bushi way, Tsugumi.
[08:50] Tsugumi
    I'll show you to your swords.
[08:53] Tsugumi
    In exchange...
[08:55] Tsugumi
    there's something I need your help with.
[09:05] Tsugumi
    It's a huge swarm of kodama oni!
[09:20] Tsugumi
    We'll have to crash that square
    to make sure everyone can escape.
[09:25] Kojiro
    Wouldn't he just attack
    the townspeople that way?
[09:28] Tsugumi
    Let's go!
[09:29] Kojiro
    Hold your horses.
[09:30] Tsugumi
    You're just the driver, so quit talking!
[09:32] Kojiro
    Just the driver?!
[09:34] Tsugumi
    Don't the low-ranking guys
    usually get stuck driving?
[09:37] Kojiro
    Are you mocking me?!
[09:40] Musashi
    You just haven't seen how
    impressive he really is.
[09:43] Tsugumi
    He's impressive?
[09:44] Musashi
    At the end of the day,
    you can always count on Kojiro.
[09:49] Kojiro
    Hey, you really think so?
[09:52] Musashi
    You bet I do!
[09:54] Tsugumi
    Can I really trust you two?
[09:58] Kojiro
    We just want to ensure
    the townsfolk get to safety, right?
[10:03] Musashi
    You got a plan, Kojiro?
[10:08] Kosameda
    Our final stand against the blue oni
[10:10] Kosameda
    that infest these lands is upon us!
[10:13] Kosameda
    In thirty minutes,
    they will force their way here.
[10:16] Kosameda
    And we will be victorious!
[10:18] Kosameda
    We will bring the full strength of our
    band to bear and scatter these oni!
[10:23] Kosameda
    But to do that,
    the oni need to be delayed.
[10:26] Kosameda
    The honor of that duty will falls to you,
    the people of this fief.
[10:30] Kosameda
    I'm sure you're all thrilled
    to be able to join the battle.
[10:33] Citizen 1(Woman)
    B-But... we've never done anything
    but tend the fields before.
[10:38] Citizen 2 Man
    What in the world is he thinking?
[10:41] Kosameda
    I've always thought it was a shame
    that those of you who aren't Bushi
[10:45] Kosameda
    will never know the glory of battle.
[10:48] Kosameda
    Today... that changes.
[10:50] Kosameda
    Now the joy will finally be yours!
[10:54] Kosameda
    War is a feast.
    Make sure you get your fill!
[11:00] Citizen 2 Man
    No way... I don't want to die!
[11:03] Citizen 3
    We can't escape.
[11:04] Citizen 4
    Is our only option to die...?
[11:09] Bushi 1
    Wh-What is that?!
[11:11] Bushi 2
    There's smoke...
[11:12] Kosameda
    Who goes there?!
[11:16] Kosameda
    Are you behind this...
[11:18] Kosameda
    Tsugumi?!
[11:20] Tsugumi
    My Lord, total mobilization
    is completely out of the question.
[11:24] Tsugumi
    A Bushi's duty is to defend the people.
[11:27] Tsugumi
    Sending all non-combatants into
    battle would shame any true Bushi!
[11:31] Kosameda
    Isn't fleeing from the enemy
    the true shame of a Bushi?!
[11:34] Kosameda
    Bushi bands exist to battle the oni!
[11:37] Tsugumi
    And I'm saying it's idiotic to clash
    with the kodama horde head-on.
[11:43] Tsugumi
    They may be weak individually,
[11:45] Tsugumi
    but when swarming, they have destructive
    power comparable to a tornado!
[11:49] Tsugumi
    I believe it's best
    to take cover until they pass,
[11:52] Tsugumi
    and then request aid from
    Lord Tokugawa in the central territory!
[11:55] Kosameda
    Where exactly is the need
    for additional aid?!
[11:58] Kosameda
    The only thing I'm sending home are oni heads!
[12:02] Tsugumi
    What's the point of collecting kodama heads?!
[12:04] Tsugumi
    Wouldn't the Kosameda Band be better off
[12:08] Tsugumi
    saving our strength for the
    day that we slay a Kishin?
[12:11] Old Woman
    Please, try to convince
    His Lordship, Tsugumi!
[12:15] Tsugumi
    My job is actually to keep his attention
    on me as long as possible...
[12:20] Tsugumi
    If I can do that, the others can escape.
[12:23] Kosameda
    That's funny, Tsugumi.
[12:26] Kosameda
    I don't remember you ever
    being such a smooth talker.
[12:31] Kosameda
    Is this some kind of scheme?
[12:34] Kosameda
    My men will cut down any would-be deserters.
[12:39] Tsugumi
    He saw through me...
[12:40] Tsugumi
    Maybe I really can't do
    anything against him.
[12:44] Musashi
    No one's awake to take your crappy
    commands anymore, Kosameda Hideo.
[12:57] Kosameda
    What is the meaning of this?
[12:58] Kojiro
    We used the smoke to take
    out all of your guards.
[13:01] Kojiro
    You were too busy speechifying to notice.
[13:05] Kojiro
    We could see where they were
    from above pretty easily,
[13:08] Kojiro
    so all we needed was a bit
    of cover to take them down.
[13:13] Musashi
    No one's gonna stop everybody
     from fleeing now, yeah?
[13:18] Tsugumi
    Yeah! Thank you!
[13:20] Tsugumi
    Come on, everyone! Get to safety!
[13:23] Tsugumi
    We're going to get through this!
[13:31] Musashi
    Why aren't they running?
[13:38] Tsugumi
    Everyone, flee!
[13:40] Tsugumi
    The oni are going to overrun
    the entire castle at this rate!
[13:44] Kosameda
    All of you!
[13:45] Kosameda
    Desertion is a crime that will
     earn your entire family the death penalty!
[13:49] Tsugumi
    That's it... They're all still scared of him.
[13:53] Tsugumi
    Because if they defy him,
[13:55] Tsugumi
    the punishment will befall their families, too.
[13:57] Musashi
    But if they stay here,
    aren't they toast anyway?
[14:02] Tsugumi
    They're not really thinking.
[14:05] Tsugumi
    They're so scared of the lord that
    they can't see anything else.
[14:11] Musashi
    So what do we do?
[14:17] Tsugumi
    I'm going...
[14:19] Tsugumi
    to defeat him!
[14:21] Tsugumi
    To shake them awake, I have to beat
    the lord they're all so scared of!
[14:26] Tsugumi
    If I do that, they should find the
    courage to run from the castle.
[14:31] Old woman
    Tsugumi...
[14:35] Musashi
    What's he gonna do?
[14:40] Kosameda
    Get them into position!
[14:42] Kosameda
    Drag them if you have to!
[14:44] Bushis
    Yes, sir!
[14:46] Tsugumi
    This is bad! They're going
    to take everyone away!
[14:48] Sister
    No! Big brother, help!
[14:50] Brother
    Stop it!
[14:53] Musashi
    You can leave these goons to us.
[14:55] Tsugumi
    Guys...
[14:56] Musashi
    Give that jerk the beating he deserves!
[15:00] Tsugumi
    I will!
[15:04] Kosameda
    My, my. A rebellious phase?
[15:07] Kosameda
    What a troublesome girl.
[15:21] Kosameda
    What?!
[15:28] Citizen 5
    Tsugumi is fighting His Lordship
     so that we can escape...
[15:34] Tsugumi
    I'm going to save everyone!
[15:36] Tsugumi
    Just like my sister would have!
[15:43] Kosameda
    Your attacks can't touch me!
[16:01] Kosameda
    Who do you think taught you how
    to fight in the first place?
[16:04] Kosameda
    Never stay out past curfew!
[16:07] Kosameda
    Never think unnecessary thoughts!
[16:10] Kosameda
    Never fail to complete your training!
[16:13] Kosameda
    And never, ever defy your father!
[16:16] Kosameda
    I know I told you all this!
[16:17] Kosameda
    So why can't you just do it?!
[16:19] Kosameda
    You are completely worthless, Tsugumi!
[16:25] Kosameda
    You people can't survive on your own.
[16:28] Kosameda
    Take away your families,
[16:30] Kosameda
    and the loneliness and despair
    will sap your strength away,
[16:33] Kosameda
    leaving you incapable of
    going on. Am I wrong?
[16:36] Old woman
    Tsugumi....
[16:37] Mother 3
    Th-That's right...
[16:39] Mother 3
    If I lost my children, I couldn't go on.
[16:41] Kosameda
    You're weak.
[16:43] Kosameda
    Weak little creatures.
[16:45] Kosameda
    But there's no shame in that.
    Even wild animals form groups to survive.
[16:49] Kosameda
    So you all just need to keep
    doing as I tell you like always.
[16:55] Kosameda
    Do as the head of your family, the head
    of this Bushi band, tells you—
[17:07] Kosameda
    Wha...
[17:09] Kosameda
    Wh-Wh-Wh... What?
[17:12] Tsugumi
    I am done... listening to you....
[17:16] Kosameda
    You can't do a damn thing without me!
[17:20] Tsugumi
    But I'm going to do it anyway.
[17:23] Tsugumi
    It doesn't matter how weak...
     or unsure I am...
[17:27] Tsugumi
    I've decided to fight!
[17:30] Tsugumi
    Watch me, everyone.
[17:31] Tsugumi
    I'm not going to lose!
[17:34] Musashi
    That's....
[17:36] Kojiro
    It's like what the Takeda Band did!
[17:44] Kosameda
    Go ahead and try me!
[17:53] Tsugumi
    I've been afraid of this man for so long.
[17:57] Tsugumi
    But now I understand.
[17:59] Tsugumi
    What I truly feared was a future alone
[18:03] Tsugumi
    after leaving him behind.
[18:05] Tsugumi
    I was obeying him in order to
    maintain a place I could belong.
[18:11] Tsugumi
    As long as I could put up with the pain,
[18:13] Tsugumi
    I could stay with the people of the castle.
[18:17] Brother
    Tsugumi...
[18:20] Kosameda
    Desertion in the face of battle
    is punishable by death!
[18:24] Tsugumi
    I know how you all feel!
[18:26] Tsugumi
    You don't want to lose your loved ones.
[18:28] Tsugumi
    But even if we make it through
    today, what about tomorrow?
[18:31] Tsugumi
    And the day after?!
[18:32] Tsugumi
    You know that as long as you follow him,
     one day, it'll cost you everything!
[18:37] Tsugumi
    If you really want to protect the people
    you love, now is the time to fight!
[18:41] Mother 3
    To protect the people we love...
[18:44] Citizen 2
    We have to fight now?
[18:46] Kosameda
    You're the only traitor here!
    Give it up, Tsugumi!
[18:50] Kosameda
    You're a stupid, weak, useless,
    worthless girl!
[18:55] Tsugumi
    So what?!
[18:56] Tsugumi
    Even if I'm weak, I'm doing this!
[18:59] Tsugumi
    To protect the people I care about!
[19:02] Kosameda
    Take this!
[19:25] Tsugumi
    Now, everyone!
[19:27] Citizen 2
    Yeah! We need to go!
[19:28] Mother 3
    Hurry!
[19:33] Kojiro
    The oni are almost here!
[19:36] Musashi
    Move it!
[19:39] Kosameda
    Wait... Stop running...
[19:42] Kosameda
    I thought a Bushi band was like a family...
[19:45] Kosameda
    A Bushi band... family...
[19:49] Kosameda
    No one...
[19:50] Kosameda
    should defy their father!
[20:05] Mother
    We should be safe here.
[20:08] Brother
    Where's Tsugumi?
[20:14] Citizen 2 (Man)
    Run, Tsugumi!
[20:15] Brother
    Somebody help her!
[20:26] Tsugumi
    I can run, but I won't make it in time...
[20:33] Tsugumi
    Still, everyone got to safety.
[20:37] Tsugumi
    Tsubame, I did a good job, right?
[20:41] Tsugumi
    But...
[20:43] Tsugumi
    I kind of wish I could have
    lived a bit longer...
[20:51] Young Tsugumi
    I'm gonna be a nice Bushi like you, Tsubame!
[21:01] Tsugumi
    I wish I could have lived...
[21:03] Musashi
    Hey! Tsugumi!
[21:25] Musashi
    That was really cool back there!
[21:27] Musashi
    I knew you were something else!
[21:50] Shirou
    Feels great to be surrounded by beauties...
[23:25] Musashi
    That move of yours was pretty slick.
[23:27] Tsugumi
    You think so?
