[00:04] Kojiro
    The whole castle's gone.
[00:07] Musashi
    This place might be wrecked,
[00:10] Musashi
    but maybe it's for the best.
[00:12] Kojiro
    Everyone looks a lot happier than
    when that lord was in charge.
[00:17] Musashi
    And it's thanks to her.
[00:19] Old woman
    Kind sirs...
[00:22] Musashi
    Whoa!
[00:23] Old woman
    I have a request for you two.
[00:27] Old woman
    Please, take Tsugumi away from the castle!
[02:06] Tsugumi
    Never!
[02:08] Old woman 2
    Come down, Tsugumi!
[02:08] Tsugumi
    I'm not going anywhere!
SIGN    Getting Stronger
[02:10] Old woman 2
    You need to leave the Kosameda Band!
[02:10] Tsugumi
    Don't wanna! No! No way! Lemme go!
[02:14] Musashi
    If she wants to stay that badly,
    do you really have to kick her out?
[02:15] Old woman 2
    Get down from there!
[02:21] Old woman
    We aren't kicking her out.
    She needs to escape Lord Hideo.
[02:26] Kojiro
    Escape him?
[02:30] Old Woman
    Lord Hideo has fallen apart after being
    betrayed by the people under his rule.
[02:34] (Flashback) Kosameda
    Tsugumi? Where's Tsugumi...?
[02:36] Old Woman
    And because of that, he's become
    even more fixated on Tsugumi.
[02:38] (Flashback) Kosameda
    Tsugumi? Tsugumi? Tsugumi!
[02:42] Old Woman
    If they're reunited,
    he'll try to manipulate her again.
[02:47] Tsugumi
    But I'm fine now!
[02:50] Old Woman
    Tsugumi...
[02:51] Tsugumi
    I'm not going to do what he says anymore.
[02:55] Old woman
    Can you really say that for certain?
[03:00] Tsugumi
    W-Well...
[03:02] Old woman
    Listen to me, Tsugumi!
[03:04] Old woman
    As long as you stay here,
    you'll be haunted by Lord Hideo!
[03:07] Old woman
    You must go! Flee the castle!
[03:10] Tsugumi
    B-But... But...
[03:14] Tsugumi
    The sounds of sword practice...
    The smell of the fields...
[03:18] Tsugumi
    My memories with my sister...
    I have to leave all that behind?
[03:21] Musashi
    Tsugumi...
[03:23] Tsugumi
    I can't! I'd miss it too much!
[03:27] Musashi
    She's...
[03:28] Townperson 1 (Woman)
    I don't know if I like this.
[03:31] Townsperson 2 (Man)
    Me either.
[03:32] Townsperson 2 (Man)
    We'll just have to protect her
    from His Lordship this time.
[03:38] Townsperson 3(Man)
    It's okay, Tsugumi.
[03:40] Townsperson 4(Woman)
    We'll keep you safe.
[03:42] Townsperson 5(Man)
    Don't worry, Tsugumi.
[03:48] Tsugumi
    I understand. I'm going to leave the castle.
[03:53] Old woman
    Tsugumi...
[03:54] Kojiro
    She hated the idea before.
    Why'd she suddenly change her mind?
[03:59] Tsugumi
    Hey, I don't really have any plans,
    so could I join up with you guys?
[04:04] Musashi
    Sure, that's cool.
[04:06] Musashi
    It'll be great to have more band members.
[04:08] Tsugumi
    Thanks!
[04:10] Tsugumi
    I'll go get ready.
[04:22] Tsugumi
    I already made up my mind about leaving...
[04:26] Musashi
    You oughta get some sleep.
    We're leaving early tomorrow.
[04:29] Tsugumi
    You...
[04:31] Musashi
    Listen, what exactly made you
    decide to leave the castle?
[04:35] Tsugumi
    Because it'd be better for everyone else.
[04:39] Tsugumi
    I've let His Lordship decide
    everything for me before now.
[04:44] Tsugumi
    So I'm not sure I could
    really stand up to him.
[04:48] Tsugumi
    And if I become his puppet again,
[04:51] Tsugumi
    instead of protecting the people in town,
    I might hurt them if he tells me to...
[04:56] Tsugumi
    I don't want that to happen, ever!
[04:58] Musashi
    I see...
[05:00] Tsugumi
    Pathetic, isn't it?
[05:01] Musashi
    What?
[05:02] Tsugumi
    The fact that I can't let go of him...
[05:07] Musashi
    Nah. It's not pathetic at all.
[05:09] Musashi
    Isn't it hard for anyone
    to let go of their parents?
[05:12] Tsugumi
    But we're not even related by blood.
    He's not my real father.
[05:17] Tsugumi
    I'm being weird, aren't I?
[05:22] Musashi
    Is it really that weird...?
[05:25] Musashi
    If your real parents are gone
    and there's an adult to take care of you,
[05:29] Musashi
    why wouldn't you rely on them?
[05:31] Musashi
    I thought of Kojiro's dad like my own, too.
[05:35] Musashi
    I really loved him.
[05:38] Kojiro
    Dad...
[05:41] Musashi
    So I get how you feel.
[05:45] Tsugumi
    Really?
[05:46] Musashi
    Yeah. And even though he's gone now...
[05:50] Musashi
    he's the reason I have these sword
     techniques and a dream for the future.
[05:53] Tsugumi
    A dream for the future?
[05:55] Musashi
    Don't you have anything like that?
[06:00] Tsubame
    Uniting the country would be wonderful.
[06:03] Tsubame
    But we don't just fight for ourselves.
[06:05] Tsubame
    We're also doing this to protect
    people who are weaker than us.
[06:09] Tsubame
    That's the Bushi way, Tsugumi.
[06:12] Young Tsugumi
    I'm gonna be a nice Bushi like you, Tsubame!
[06:18] Tsugumi
    I do.
[06:20] Tsugumi
    But with the way things are now...
[06:23] Tsugumi
    I'm dependent on everyone
     instead of protecting them.
[06:26] Tsugumi
    I need to get stronger, don't I?
[06:39] Kojiro
    We're heading out. Ready?
[06:41] Musashi
    We're off!
[06:42] Leaving Party 1 (Man)
    Take care!
[06:43] Leaving Party 3 (Man)
    Drop by every now and again!
[06:44] Leaving Party 2 (Woman)
    Take care of yourself!
[06:44] Leaving Party 2 (Woman)
    Tsugumi!
[06:46] Musashi
    Thanks for everything!
[06:48] Kojiro
    We're going, Tsugumi.
[06:49] Tsugumi
    Okay.
[06:50] Leaving Party
    Take care! Have a good trip! Goodbye!
[06:57] Brother
    Tsugumi!
[07:00] Leaving party (villagers)
    Tsugumi! Tsugumi!
[07:00] Sister
    Tsugumi!
[07:03] Sister
    Don't leave!
[07:05] Brother
    Tsugumi! Make sure to come back someday!
[07:09] Sister
    You better come back!
[07:18] Girl 1
    Be sure to come visit us!
[07:20] Girl 2
    We'll be waiting for you!
[07:23] Tsugumi
    Everyone...
[07:36] Tsugumi
    Okay! I'm leaving for now!
[07:39] Tsugumi
    Take care of yourselves!
[07:42] Brother
    Tsugumi! We'll be waiting!
[07:46] Sister
    Come back someday!
[07:50] Tsugumi
    One day, when I'm strong enough
    on my own that I'm sure it'll be okay...
[07:55] Tsugumi
    I'll return here. I'll come back home.
[08:01] Tsugumi
    I miss them!
[08:04] Musashi
    Chill out. You look ridiculous
    when you're crying.
[08:08] Kojiro
    We're stuck with a real handful...
[08:15] Musashi
    The Bushi band we started with just
     the two of us now has a new member.
[08:19] Musashi
    The three of us are gonna
    make it the strongest ever!
[08:22] Kojiro
    Yeah.
[08:23] Kojiro
    So, where are we headed next, Musashi?
[08:31] Musashi
    There should be a blue Kishin up ahead.
[08:34] Musashi
    Let's go hunt some oni!
[08:36] Tsubame
    Who cares about hunting oni?
[08:39] Tsubame
    What's the point if there's no one
     to praise me for doing it?!
[08:44] Musashi
    Don't you worry! We'll give you
    whatever praise you need!
[08:48] Tsubame
    You guys?
[08:50] Musashi
    Sure!
[08:51] Tsugumi
    How could that possibly motivate me?!
[08:54] Musashi
    What'd you say?! You're infuriating!
[08:56] Kojiro
    Hey, would you two stop moving around?!
[08:58] Kojiro
    Get along with no fighting!
[08:59] Musashi
    Yeah, you're right.
[09:01] Tsubame
    What's that about?
[09:02] Musashi
    It's our mantra for the trip.
[09:04] Kojiro
    We get along with no fighting.
[09:05] Musashi
    Get along with no fighting.
[09:07] Kojiro
    Get along with no fighting.
[09:08] Musashi
    Get along with no fighting.
[09:10] Both
    Get along with no fighting!
[09:14] Musashi
    This is gonna lead to a fight.
[09:17] Tsugumi
    I wub you, Musashi!
[09:22] Musashi
    Pressing her chest against me like that
    is gonna give Kojiro the wrong idea...
[09:27] Kojiro
    What's going on here?!
[09:30] Muashi
    Why'd she suddenly get so clingy anyway?
[09:37] Muashi
    I need to make sure
    the three of us get along.
[09:50] Muashi
    You're part of the gang now!
[09:52] Muashi
    I don't just wanna send you flying!
[09:57] Muashi
    Don't you get that?
[10:01] Tsugumi
    Musashi! I don't know what to do with you!
[10:05] Musashi
    What are you trying to do with me?!
[10:07] Musashi
    Why'd you strip out of the blue?!
[10:09] Musashi
    I have no idea what goes through your head!
[10:16] Musashi
    I-It's not like that, Kojiro!
    Don't give me that look!
[10:20] Musashi
    There's nothing between me and Tsugumi!
[10:22] Musashi
    I don't want this misunderstanding
    to cost me our ten-year friendship.
[10:27] Musashi
    But the only way to clear it up
    is to reveal an embarrassing secret...
[10:33] Musashi
    Yes, the truth is...
[10:35] Musashi
    I am definitely into older women!
[10:38] (Flashback) Machiko
    Confiscated! Confiscated! Confiscated!
    Confiscated! Confiscated! Confiscated!
[10:39] Musashi
    At mining school, we were subjected to a
    strict lifestyle so we'd focus on mining.
[10:45] Musashi
    Anyone caught with one of the girls
    from town would be expelled.
[10:45] (Flashback) Lady Teachers
    Expelled! Expelled! Expelled! Expelled!
    Expelled! Expelled! Expelled!
[10:48] Musashi
    In other words,
    we had to suppress our desires...
[10:54] (Flashback) Classmate 1
    Get a load of Ms. Machiko,
    the phys ed teacher!
[10:56] (Flashback) Classmate 1
    She's overflowing with maternal goodness
    and curves that are just magnetic!
[11:01] (Flashback) Classmate 3
    What do you think, Musashi?
[11:02] (Flashback) Musashi
    I think I prefer Ms. Kyoko,
    the ancient texts teacher.
[11:07] (Flashback) Classmates 1&3
    I get you!
[11:09] Musashi
    We had nowhere to direct our interest
    other than the teachers...
[11:09] (Flashback) Musashi
    Tell me about it!
[11:15] Musashi
    But I can't tell Kojiro
    something that embarrassing!
[11:19] Musashi
    I have to clear this up and*
     reject Tsugumi without hurting her!
[11:25] Musashi
    How am I supposed to do that?!
[11:29] Kojiro
    Musashi and Tsugumi*
    really seem to be hitting it off...
[11:32] Kojiro
    I've never seen him blush like that before.
[11:36] Kojiro
    Congratulations! I wish you all the best!
[11:36] Kojiro
    I've been friends with
    Musashi for ten years.
[11:39] Kojiro
    If he's found a nice girl
    and has a shot at happiness,
[11:43] Kojiro
    I'd gladly give my blessing...
[11:45] Kojiro
    Except not! Something about this
    doesn't sit right with me at all!
[11:49] Kojiro
    And the only way I can get him to understand
    is to reveal my most embarrassing secret.
[11:55] Kojiro
    I hate to admit it—I really do—because...
[11:59] Kojiro
    I have absolutely no romantic experience!
[12:04] Kojiro
    The reason being that I'm a Bushi.
[12:06] Kojiro
    What kind of girl wants a guy who gets
    looked down on and spit at every day?
[12:12] Kojiro
    Even if there were a nice girl like that,
    she'd be outcast right alongside me.
[12:17] Kojiro
    That's why I've been desperate
    to avoid women all this time...
[12:21] Kojiro
    But Musashi was a miner.
[12:24] Kojiro
    Miners got all the chicks in town.
[12:27] Kojiro
    He would've had his choice of women.
[12:29] Musashi
    Women? I think thirty...
[12:32] Musashi
    No, more like forty.
[12:34] Musashi
    You get enough action,
    you kinda stop counting, y'know?
[12:38] Kojiro
    If he says that,
    how will I relate to him ever again?!
[12:44] Tsugumi
    Hmph.
[12:44] Kojiro
    Why's Tsugumi been avoiding me, anyway?
[12:47] Kojiro
    Is it that obvious how little
    experience I have with women?
[12:50] Kojiro
    So she won't even look at me?
[12:52] Kojiro
    If she mentions it to Musashi,
    I don't know that I'll ever recover!
[12:55] Kojiro
    Anything but that!
[12:58] Musashi
    I don't wanna be embarrassed!
[12:59] Kojiro
    I don't wanna hurt anyone!
[13:03] Musashi
    Tsugumi! What the heck are you thinking?!
[13:06] Kojiro
    You have to tell us, Tsugumi!
    Just what is it...
[13:09] Musashi/Kojiro
    What are you really after?!
[13:12] Tsugumi
    Will you...
[13:14] Tsugumi
    Will you be... friends with me?
[13:20] Musashi
    Uh, aren't we friends already?
[13:23] Tsugumi
    Is that how it works?
[13:25] Tsugumi
    I... don't actually know how
    to make friends, it turns out.
[13:29] Musashi
    What are you talking about?
[13:31] Tsugumi
    I've never really gotten to know
    anyone outside of the Kosameda Band.
[13:37] Tsugumi
    And when I started thinking about how you two
[13:39] Tsugumi
    are the first people I've really known
    outside of my band...
[13:42] Tsugumi
    I-I-I-I-I didn't know what to say!
[13:45] Musashi
    Why were you avoiding Kojiro, then?
[13:47] Tsugumi
    I was scared he was mad at me
     for calling him the driver.
[13:52] Kojiro
    What, is that all?
[13:54] Musashi
    So why'd you start stripping?
[13:57] Tsugumi
    A long time ago, my sister told me...
[13:59] Tsubame
    Tsugumi, if you ever find yourself
    unsure of what to do, take your clothes off.
[14:02] Tsugumi
    That's why! I just want
    to be friends with you guys!
[14:07] Tsugumi
    But I'd be so embarrassed if you said no!
[14:09] Tsugumi
    And because I didn't want to get hurt,
     I started acting weird!
[14:13] Tsugumi
    I'm so sorry!
[14:24] Musashi/Kojiro
    I get you!
[14:43] Musashi
    What was that...?
[14:45] Musashi
    It's morning.
[14:52] Musashi
    Hey! Are you trying to eat Kojiro's sword?
[14:56] Musashi
    Get back here, dammit! Drop that sword!
[14:57] Kojiro
    What's going on?
[14:59] Tsugumi
    Your Lordship, am I on standby?
    Training? A mission?
[15:05] Musashi
    Kojiro's dad left that to him!
[15:08] Musashi
    Give it back!
[15:09] Musashi
    It's not some snack
    for a shrimpy oni like you!
[15:16] Musashi
    Gotcha!
[15:18] Musashi
    Wh-What the?!
[15:19] Musashi
    That's nuts... This pole is made of metal!
[15:23] Musashi
    It'd be one thing against a Kishin,
    but this squirt?
[15:27] Musashi
    Hey! Hold it!
[15:31] Musashi
    What gives? What's going on here?
[15:34] Musashi
    Dammit, dammit, dammit!
[15:36] Musashi
    Why can't I win?!
[15:44] Musashi
    What the heck is it doing?
[15:47] Musashi
    Swords...?
[15:54] Musashi
    There're so many. What is this place?
[16:02] Shiro
    Not bad, but...
[16:14] Shiro
    Are you staring at the swords? Or at me?
[16:18] Shiro
    They're all beautiful, aren't they?
[16:21] Musashi
    Y-Yeah...
[16:23] Shiro
    You wanna borrow one?
[16:25] Shiro
    It should let you beat that oni.
[16:29] Shiro
    Otherwise... it's snack time.
[16:33] Musashi
    It's eating Kojiro's sword!
[16:36] Musashi
    Thanks, man!
[16:40] Musashi
    What is this?!
[17:08] Musashi
    What?!
[17:14] Musashi
    It's like my arm is on fire!
[17:16] Shiro
    Cut it!
[17:18] Musashi
    Cut it?
[17:19] Musashi
    That's right!
[17:20] Musashi
    I can cut it!
[17:39] Musashi
    That was crazy...
    What's up with this katana?!
[17:42] Shiro
    Very nice! Was that your
    first time using one?
[17:46] Shiro
    A Kitetsu Blade.
[17:47] Musashi
    This is called a Kitetsu Blade?
[17:51] Musashi
    The iron sand's being drawn to the sword...
[17:54] Musashi
    This is just like what the Takeda Band did.
[17:57] Musashi
    So this is what it's like to slay an oni...
[18:01] Musashi
    It feels good.
[18:11] Musashi
    Sorry! I broke it!
[18:14] Shiro
    Aw, don't worry about it.
[18:16] Shiro
    I didn't need her.
[18:19] Shiro
    She was a waste of steel, in other words.
[18:21] Shiro
    You managed to draw out some
    incredible power, though...
[18:24] Shiro
    I wonder why.
[18:28] Shiro
    Could you be the one?
[18:32] Shiro
    I thought maybe, but I'm not so sure.
[18:36] Musashi
    Thought what?
[18:37] Nanao
    Master.
[18:45] Nanao
    It's time.
[18:46] Shiro
    Okay.
[18:52] Nanao
    You've made a mess again.
[18:54] Nanao
    Why do you insist on making patterns
    in the ground with Kitetsu Blades?
[18:58] Shiro
    Isn't it obvious?!
[18:59] Shiro
    It feels good to be surrounded by beauties!
[19:04] Musashi
    Beauties...?
[19:05] Shiro
    Just look at her.
[19:06] Shiro
    She's delicate, yet has a perfectly
    balanced linear beauty
[19:10] Shiro
    like the willowy waist of a holy maiden!
[19:13] Shiro
    Meanwhile, this one has a bewitching mix
    of refined dignity and dangerous mystique.
[19:18] Shiro
    She's as pristine and beautiful as any flower,
     with an edge as white as lilies themselves.
[19:25] Nanao
    Sorry. My master here is the kind of pervert
[19:28] Nanao
    who prefers Kitetsu Blades over
    having three meals a day.
[19:32] Musashi
    Are you okay?
[19:34] Shiro
    Aw, are you trying to flatter me?
[19:39] Musashi
    Hey, who are you guys?!
[19:47] Shiro
    Just some dogs for hire
    without names worth sharing.
[19:50] Musashi
    Dogs?
[19:52] Tsugumi/Kojiro
    Musashi!
[19:54] Musashi
    Hey, guys!
[19:54] Tsugumi
    An oni showed up, right?
[19:56] Kojiro
    Where's my sword?!
[19:57] Tsugumi
    Are you okay?
[19:58] Kojiro
    There it is!
[19:58] Musashi
    Those people lent me a sword,
    and I took care of...
[20:02] Musashi
    Wait, the sword's gone!
[20:04] Tsugumi
    Say, what people are you talking about?
[20:08] Musashi
    They vanished...
[20:13] Tsugumi
    Are you sure you weren't dreaming?
[20:15] Musashi
    I know I wasn't!
[20:16] Musashi
    That sword was so awesome...
[20:19] Musashi
    It was like something
    from out of this world!
[20:23] Musashi
    I can't wait to use a Kitetsu Blade again!
[20:27] Kojiro
    And what exactly is a Kitetsu Blade?
[20:29] Musashi
    I mean, a Kitetsu Blade is...
[20:32] Musashi
    Huh, I don't actually know.
[20:35] Tsugumi
    You seriously don't?
[20:38] Tsugumi
    It's one of these. A blade made from Kitetsu.
[20:42] Musashi
    Your swords are made of Kitetsu, Tsugumi?!
[20:44] Tsugumi
    Of course they are.
[20:46] Tsugumi
    You can't break an oni's horn
    without a Kitetsu Blade.
[20:49] Musashi
    For real?!
[20:50] Tsugumi
    Yeah. Their horns are super hard,
[20:53] Tsugumi
    so you can't break them
    without the special power of Kitetsu.
[20:58] Kojiro
    The only thing that can finish off an oni...
[21:01] Kojiro
    They're bound to be rare,
    and valuable as weapons ago.
[21:05] Musashi
    I bet it's gonna be some kind of
    epic quest to get our hands on—
[21:09] Tsugumi
    Just buy one.
[21:11] Tsugumi
    People sell 'em, y'know.
[21:13] Musashi
    Where?! Where do we get them?!
[21:19] Tsugumi
    When a Kishin shows up,
    Bushi aren't far behind to slay it.
[21:24] Tsugumi
    And not long after that come merchants
    looking to do business with the Bushi.
[21:28] Tsugumi
    Equipment, liquor, food,
    and information are all for sale...
[21:30] Tsugumi
    Even Kitetsu Blades.
[21:34] Musashi
    Awesome!
[21:35] Kojiro
    Maybe this would be a good
    place to prepare for battle.
[21:39] Tsugumi
    They're a must-have!
[21:41] Tsugumi
    You can't beat a Kishin
    without a Kitetsu Blade.
[21:44] Musashi
    All righty! Guess we're gonna do a
    little shopping before our oni hunt!
[21:48] Musashi/Tsugumi
    Shopping, shopping!
    Shopping for Kitetsu Blades!
[21:52] Kojiro
    Do we have any money...?
[23:25] Musashi
    You really do know your stuff,
    Tsugumi! I'm impressed!
[23:28] Kojiro
    Yeah. With you around, I think our
    trip's gonna be a lot smoother.
[23:31] Musashi/Kojiro
    Tsugumi the smarty!
[23:32] Tsugumi
    Aw, I'm nothing special...
[23:34] Kojiro
    You embarrassed?
[23:35] Musashi
    You look freaky like that!
[23:36] Tsugumi
    I took so much verbal abuse growing up,
    I don't know how to react to praise...
