    Yes!
[00:15] Musashi
    Bushi! Bushi! Bushi!
[00:18] Musashi
    This whole town is crawling with Bushi!
[00:21] Musashi
    I've never seen anything like it!
[00:24] Kojiro
    What's up with that?
[00:26] Tsumugi
    Oh, he's paying with Kitetsu.
SIGN    Sen
[00:31] Tsumugi
    Business between Bushi bands
    uses Kitetsu as currency.
[00:36] Musashi
    All right, where're the Kitetsu Blades?
[00:39] Tsumugi
    Kitetsu Blade auctions are the big draw,
     so they get saved for last.
[00:43] Musashi
    Huh, is that right?
[00:45] Musashi
    I can't wait to get my hands
     on a Kitetsu Blade!

[02:28] Bushi A
    Say, what band are you guys from?
[02:32] Kojiro
    I mean...
[02:34] Musashi
    Come to think of it,
    we never settled on a name.
[02:38] Bushi A
    A Bushi band that doesn't even have a name?!
[02:40] Bushi A
    Hey, sweetheart, how about you ditch
    these slobs and join up with us?
[02:44] Tsumugi
    Nah...
[02:45] Musashi
    Hey, give it a rest!
[02:47] Bushi A
    I'm just kidding with you! Just kidding!
[02:51] Kojiro
    Tch... I guess he's got us there.
[02:54] Tsumugi
    What has you two so gung-ho
    about hunting oni in the first place?
[02:58] Musashi
    Isn't that obvious?
[03:01] Musashi
    It's our dream, right, Kojiro?
[03:03] Kojiro
    R-Right...
[03:06] Musashi
    Our dream's always been to become Bushi,
     then make the strongest band ever!
[03:13] Tsumugi
    I never really understand guys and the
    whole "I wanna be the very best" thing.
SIGN    Her dream: To go home someday
[03:20] Kojiro
    Kinda jaded, aren't you?
[03:22] Tsumugi
    Well, there's one thing
    you need to figure out.
[03:24] Both
    What's that?
[03:26] Tsumugi
    Which one of you is the captain?
[03:30] Tsumugi
    I mean, if it's not clear who's in charge,
[03:33] Tsumugi
    then you don't know who
    you're supposed to listen to.
[03:36] Tsumugi
    Kinda inconvenient.
SIGN    The type
    to need
    direction
[03:41] Kojiro
    The idea of one of us being
    in charge is kinda...
[03:45] Musashi
    It's gotta be you, right, Kojiro?
[03:51] Tsumugi
    That was easy enough.
[03:52] Kojiro
    A-Are you sure?
[03:54] Musashi
    About what?
[03:56] Musashi
    I mean, I don't even have a family name.
SIGN    Takeda Band
     Captain: Takeda Naotora
[03:59] Musashi
    We've got the Takeda Band
    and the Kosameda Band...
SIGN    Kosameda Band
    Captain: Kosameda Hideo
[04:02] Musashi
    Family name determines
     the band name, yeah?
SIGN    Kanemaki Band
     Captain: Kanemaki Kojiro
[04:06] Musashi
    So our captain's gotta be Kanemaki Kojiro!
[04:09] Musashi
    You feel me?
[04:10] Kojiro
    And you really don't mind?
[04:13] Musashi
    Why would I?
[04:14] Kojiro
    Come on, man...
[04:16] Kojiro
    You're so competitive,
    I thought you would want it.
[04:19] Kojiro
    "I'm stronger, so I get to be captain!"
     That kind of thing.
[04:22] Musashi
    Nah.
[04:24] Musashi
    I'm happy as long as we can
    chase our dream together.
[04:28] Tsumugi
    So Kojiro is my new lord?
[04:32] Kojiro
    I wish your eyes weren't
    sparkling like that...
[04:35] Bushi B
    And now the moment
     you've all been waiting for!
[04:37] Bushi B
    It's time for the Kitetsu Blade auction!
[04:43] Bushi C
    We have 25 pieces here from the
    master smiths of the Ryuzoji Band!
[04:47] Bushi C
    Let those of you who would
    lay claim to one come forth!
[04:53] Musashi
    Those are Kitetsu Blades? They're beautiful!
[04:56] Kojiro
    And they look expensive...
[04:58] Musashi
    There's a whole bunch!
[05:00] Musashi
    How am I gonna choose?
[05:02] Mitsuru
    Whichever you fall in love with
     at a glance is right.
[05:06] Mitsuru
    A katana and a Bushi are drawn to each other.
[05:08] Mitsuru
    Just go after whichever
    one grabs your fancy.
[05:11] Musashi
    Of course, madam!
[05:13] Kojiro/Tsumugi
    "Madam"?
[05:14] Musashi
    You look lovely, by the way!
[05:15] Mitsuru
    I'm no madam, boy.
[05:18] Mitsuru
    The name's Osafune Mitsuru, and I'm the
    head of the Ryuzoji Band smiths.
[05:22] Musashi
    Of course, Miss Mitsuru!
[05:24] Tsumugi
    He didn't react at all when I
    took my top off in front of him.
[05:28] Tsumugi
    What the hell is this?
SIGN    Likes older women
[05:31] Musashi
    Still, I've never picked out
    a Kitetsu Blade before...
[05:34] Mitsuru
    Oh, it's your first time?
[05:37] Mitsuru
    This is a big day for you, then.
[05:39] Kojiro
    It is?
[05:40] Mitsuru
    Of course.
[05:41] Mitsuru
    Choosing a Kitetsu Blade is as a rite
    as important as coming of age.
[05:46] Mitsuru
    And that's because obtaining a
    Kitetsu Blade that can slay oni
[05:50] Mitsuru
    is the moment that you come
    into your own as a Bushi.
[05:53] Muashi/Kojiro
    Coming into your own as a Bushi...
[05:56] Musashi
    I like the sound of that!
[05:59] Apprentice B
    Now then, everyone, please stand before the
    blade that you would claim as your own!
[06:09] Kojiro
    This one?
[06:11] Kojiro
    Or maybe this one?
[06:13] Kojiro
    And what about this one?
[06:14] Tsumugi
    Not very decisive, are you, Kojiro?
[06:20] Tsumugi
    Musashi? Are you sure you wanna
    pick such a plain katana?
[06:23] Musashi
    Yeah.
[06:25] Musashi
    I think this is the right one.
[06:27] Mitsuru
    The boy's got a good eye.
[06:33] Kojiro
    No one's paying this katana any mind...
[06:38] Kojiro
    Reminds me of myself.
[06:40] Kojiro
    I'm going with this one.
[06:42] Mitsuru
    That's a good choice as well.
[06:44] Apprentice
    Number one has selected the
    Kitetsu Blade "Enma's Oodachi."
[06:47] 1
    One-sixth alloy!
[06:49] 1
    Number two has selected the Kitetsu
    Blade "Vorpal Cherry Blossoms."
[06:52] 1
    One-sixth alloy!
[06:55] Kojiro
    Wait, has the auction started?
    What am I supposed to do?
[06:58] Mitsuru
    Did you think this was a regular auction?
[07:01] Mitsuru
    Grab ahold of the hilt.
[07:04] Musashi
    What? We can pick them up already?
[07:06] Musashi
    All right!
[07:11] Musashi
    This is...
[07:12] Musashi
    Huh?
[07:16] Kojiro
    What happened to Musashi?
[07:19] Mitsuru
    He's going through the sword's trial.
[07:21] Mitsuru
    A Kitetsu Blade auction
    isn't like anything else.
[07:24] Mitsuru
    You compete by testing
    your potential as Bushi.
[07:28] Mitsuru
    You could say it's a ritual where the
    Kitetsu Blade chooses its master.
[07:33] Kojiro
    A sword choosing its master?
[07:35] Kojiro
    I didn't know that was a thing.
[07:37] Tsumugi
    It's hard to describe, but when you pick
     one up, you get this strange feeling.
[07:42] Tsumugi
    Anyway, once this ritual is over,
    you're able to use the Kitetsu Blade!
[07:47] Kojiro
    Okay.
[07:50] Narrator
    The trial of the sword
[07:52] Narrator
    refers to the special phenomenon that occurs
    when a human picks up a Kitetsu Blade.
[07:56] Narrator
    From the moment you grasp the hilt...
[08:00] Kojiro
    It's like the sword's going inside me!
[08:06] Narrator
    As your pulse quickens, it feels as if
    something is coursing through your body...
[08:12] Narrator
    Those who have gone through the experience
[08:15] Narrator
    recount seeing their life
    flash before their eyes.
[08:18] Narrator
    And after overcoming the near-death
    experience that makes up the ritual...
[08:26] Narrator
    the sword will light up, with wings of
    glowing stone erupting from the user's body!
[08:35] Apprentice B
    Number Two has completed
    Vorpal Cherry Blossoms' trial!
[08:37] Kojiro
    What was that...?
[08:39] Tsumugi
    Congratulations, Kojiro!
[08:41] Tsumugi
    This proves that Kitetsu Blade
    has chosen you as its master.
[08:45] Tsumugi
    Notice how it kinda feels different?
[08:49] Kojiro
    Yeah.
[08:50] Kojiro
    It feels so natural.
    It's like the sword's a part of my body.
[08:54] Kojiro
    I've got a connection to it,
    like it's a living thing!
[08:57] Kojiro
    So this is my new sword!
[09:01] Kojiro
    Good!
[09:02] Apprentice B
    Number five has completed his sword's trial!
[09:05] BG bushi
    I did it!
[09:06] Apprentice B
    Number seven has also passed!
[09:09] Kojiro
    Huh... Everyone's passing pretty easily.
[09:13] Kojiro
    But the glowing colors around them
    are all different.
[09:17] Mitsuru
    That's the color of their souls.
[09:20] Mitsuru
    A Bushi's soul has a color to it,
[09:24] Mitsuru
    and the minerals in those katanas
     shine to match their color.
[09:30] Mitsuru
    There are five colors in total.
[09:32] Mitsuru
    And depending on the color,
    a Kitetsu Blade can use different powers.
[09:36] Mitsuru
    It looks like yours is blue.
[09:39] Kojiro
    Blue?
[09:41] Kojiro
    Is that special or something?!
[09:43] MItsuru
    Nah, it's pretty normal.
[09:45] Kojiro
    Normal, huh?
[09:46] Mitsuru
    About a fourth of the folks
    in our band are blue.
[09:50] Mitsuru
    Other than that, there's green,
    yellow, white, and red.
[09:54] Mitsuru
    You wanna have at least person
    in your band who's red.
[10:00] Tsumugi
    Now, let's see what Musashi's color is!
[10:07] Musashi
    What's this weird feeling?
[10:11] Musashi
    It's so dark... and my heart is pounding.
[10:16] Musashi
    Hey, I can see something.
[10:19] Musashi
    I don't wanna get near it, though...
[10:21] Musashi
    I have a bad feeling.
[10:24] Musashi
    This is...
[10:26] Musashi
    Tatsuyama?
[10:29] Musashi
    Am I back home?
[10:35] Musashi
    No...
[10:41] Musashi
    This is...
[10:43] Musashi
    back when...
[10:44] Young Musashi
    Pops!
[10:53] Young Musashi
    Wait! What did you say, Pops?!
[11:01] Musashi
    What was that?
[11:04] Musashi
    Why am I seeing the past?
[11:07] Musashi
    What's the deal with these Kitetsu Blades?!
[11:13] Musashi
    It's so dark, I can't see anything...
[11:24] Musashi
    Hey, what's going on here?!
[11:39] Musashi
    What is this?
[11:41] Musashi
    It feels really familiar.
[11:47] Musashi
    Are you trying to say something?
    I can't hear you.
[11:59] Musashi
    She's... so warm.
[12:03] Musashi
    It's reassuring.
[12:17] Giant
    Do... eed...
[12:19] Giant
    Don't... need...
[12:22] Musashi
    What is this?! She really
    is saying something!
[12:26] Giant
    I don't need you.
[12:31] Apprentice B
    Number ten has completed his sword trial.
[12:34] Number Ten
    I did it!
[12:36] Tsugumi
    Is Musashi still at it?
[12:49] Kojiro
    It's black.
[12:54] Mitsuru
    He's forsaken...
[13:01] Kojiro
    Are you okay, Musashi?!
[13:03] Tsumugi
    Did you hurt yourself?
[13:06] Musashi
    Nah, I'm fine...
[13:07] Apprentice A
    Boss, what was that darkness?
[13:11] Mitsuru
    I've never actually seen a
    sword trial like this...
[13:15] Mitsuru
    But I've heard stories.
    The stuff of legends, really.
[13:19] Mitsuru
    The problem is...
[13:20] Tsugumi
    You were in the middle of your sword trial!
[13:23] Tsugumi
    Did you realize you dropped it?
[13:25] Musashi
    Did I? I better try again.
[13:28] Musashi
    I was just seeing things.
    I'm sure it'll be fine this time.
[13:34] Apprentice B
    Seventeen and eighteen have
    succeeded in their sword trials!
[13:38] Musashi
    I can do it... this time...
[13:42] Musashi
    Dammit! Why am I the only
    one who ends up like this?!
[13:47] Musashi
    So heavy...!
[13:53] Tsugumi
    Are you sure you're okay?
[13:54] Tsugumi
    You've tried with six swords.
[13:56] Musashi
    I'm totally fine...
[13:58] Musashi
    Seventh's the charm...
[13:59] Mitsuru
    It's not happening.
[14:01] Mitsuru
    I'm sorry, Red, but you
    can't use Kitetsu Blades.
[14:05] Tsugumi
    He can't?
[14:06] Kojiro
    What do you mean?
[14:07] Mitsuru
    Those whose souls manifest in that black,
[14:10] Mitsuru
    burnt-out color are said to be
    rejected by all Kitetsu Blades.
[14:14] Mitsuru
    They're forsaken.
[14:17] Musashi
    But... if I work at it,
    I'll be able to use one, right?
[14:21] Musashi
    Won't I?!
[14:26] Mitsuru
    It's impossible.
[14:28] Mitsuru
    There's no changing the color of your soul.
[14:31] Mitsuru
    If yours is blue, it stays that way.
    If it's green, it's green for life.
[14:35] Mitsuru
    You have to accept it.
[14:38] Mitsuru
    As sure as people can't
    breathe underwater
[14:42] Mitsuru
    or survive amidst flames...
[14:45] Mitsuru
    Your soul is black.
[14:48] Mitsuru
    And you'll never use Kitetsu Blades.
[14:50] Mitsuru
    It's just the way you were made.
[14:55] Mitsuru
    You'll have to give it up.
[14:58] Musashi
    Give up what?
[15:05] Mitsuru
    Becoming a Bushi.
[15:12] Musashi
    Give up becoming a Bushi...
[15:16] Musashi
    What does that even mean?
[15:19] (Flashback) Bushi D
    You can't be a Bushi
    without a Kitetsu Blade
[15:23] (Flashback) Bushi D
    since you can't hunt oni.
[15:25] (Flashback) Bushi E
    A band member who can't hunt oni
[15:28] (Flashback) Bushi E
    can still stay at the castle,
    tending fields and horses.
[15:32] (Flashback) Bushi F
    Don't let it get you down, kid.
     It's a fine way of life.
[15:39] Musashi
    I get it.
[15:42] Musashi
    This means I can't hunt oni.
[15:48] Musashi
    Wait, that means my dream from back then...
[15:53] Musashi
    No, it can't be.
[15:57] Musashi
    Kojiro?
[15:59] Musashi
    Did you pass your sword trial okay?
[16:03] Kojiro
    Yeah.
[16:04] Musashi
    Oh yeah? That's great.
[16:08] Tsumugi
    Um, listen. For now, why don't you guys—
[16:16] Musashi
    What the hell are these things?!
[16:20] Lookout Bushi
    Enemy attack! A Kishin has descended!
[16:22] Lookout Bushi
    A Kishin has descended!
[16:23] Musashi
    A Kishin?!
[16:24] Lookout Bushi
    The Kishin itself has
    taken up atop the summit
[16:27] Lookout Bushi
    and is sending its lesser oni
    down to attack!
[16:30] Musashi
    Lesser oni?
[16:31] Musashi
    These things...
[16:33] Musashi
    are supposed to be lesser?
[16:36] Musashi
    Wh-What's going on?
[16:39] Musashi
    I wasn't this scared before...
[16:46] Musashi
    That's it... It's because I know the truth.
[16:49] Musashi
    If I can't break their horns,
    I can't beat these things.
[16:53] Musashi
    And now that I know that...
[17:04] Musashi
    Kojiro?
[17:19] Townsperson A
    It's a lesser oni attack!
[17:21] Townperson B
    Run! They're going to eat everything!
[17:24] Man
    Give me my sword back!
[17:27] Mother 4
    It's going to eat us!
[17:29] Daughter
    Mommy!
[17:39] Kojiro
    My arm's on fire!
[17:50] Kojiro
    I can cut it!
[18:06] Mother 4
    Th... Thank you!
[18:09] Mother 4
    You saved our lives!
[18:11] Girl
    Thank you, Mister!
[18:15] Kojiro
    You're thanking me...?
[18:21] Kojiro
    It's because of the sword...
[18:23] Kojiro
    With this, I can help people
    and they'll actually be grateful!
[18:29] Kojiro
    That never happened even once back home.
[18:35] Kojiro
    Is this oni hunting?
[18:38] Kojiro
    Is this what it's like?!
[18:40] Kojiro
    Okay!
[18:42] BG Townspeople
    Go!
[18:43] BG Townspeople
    You can do it!
[18:46] Musashi
    So this is an oni hunt, huh?
[18:51] Musashi
    You can't do anything without
    a Kitetsu Blade, can you?
[18:53] Onlooker A
    You're that redhead who failed
    the sword trial before, right?
[18:57] Onlooker A
    You'll have to give up on a Kitetsu Blade.
[18:59] Musashi
    Come on, it's not like it's set in stone...
[19:01] Onlooker A
    You're a real stubborn one, aren't you?
[19:03] Onlooker A
    Why do you want a Kitetsu Blade
     so bad anyway?
[19:07] Musashi
    Why?
[19:09] Musashi
    Because...
[19:13] Apprentice B
    The bull oni have all been slain!
[19:16] Apprentice A
    You did a good job out there, blondie!
[19:19] Mitsuru
    He sure did.
    That was a hell of a first fight!
[19:23] Tsugumi
    Kojiro!
[19:28] Tsugumi
    Your hands.
[19:30] Kojiro
    My hands?
[19:31] Tsugumi
    We slap 'em together
    like this to celebrate!
[19:33] Kojiro
    W-We do?
[19:37] Musashi
    Kojiro looks happy.
[19:42] Young Musashi
    Check it out, Kojiro.
[19:44] Young Musashi
    There are these oni
    monsters outside of town,
[19:46] Young Musashi
    and the Bushi are the ones who fight them.
[19:49] Young Musashi
    Isn't that cool?!
[19:50] Young Kojiro
    Yeah!
[20:00] Musashi
    I see... I get it now.
[20:05] Musashi
    I wish...
[20:07] Musashi
    I could have joined him.
[20:12] Musashi
    But...
[20:15] Musashi
    Without a Kitetsu Blade, I can't fight.
[20:18] Bushi G
    Anyone with a Kitetsu Blade,
    head up the mountain!
[20:21] Bushi G
    It's time to slay the Kishin!
[20:23] Tsugumi
    We better go too, Kojiro.
[20:25] Kojiro
    Right.
[20:26] Kojiro
    Musashi!
[20:31] Musashi
    Kojiro...
[20:33] Musashi
    Get going, man.
[20:39] Tsumugi
    Are we gonna just leave him?
[20:42] Kojiro
    I think... that's for the best right now.
[20:57] Musashi
    Dammit... Dammit!
[21:02] Musashi
    I have to find some way to fight!
[21:05] Musashi
    I've gotta do something.
[21:07] Musashi
    But what options are there?
[21:09] Musashi
    What's the difference between
    me and everyone else?
[21:13] Musashi
    They all had light coming
    from their Kitetsu Blades...
[21:16] Musashi
    Light? Wait a second...
[21:18] Musashi
    I did that this morning.
[21:25] Shiro
    Hey! How you doing?
[21:29] Musashi
    It's you!
[21:30] Shiro
    I saw everything.
[21:31] Shiro
    Your whole sword trial.
[21:33] Shiro
    Looks like that black fighting aura
    gave you a bit of trouble, huh?
[21:37] Musashi
    What is this?!
    Are you here to make fun of me?
[21:40] Shiro
    Not at all!
[21:41] Shiro
    It turns out you and me
    have a lot in common.
[21:46] Musashi
    That's...
[21:48] Shiro
    I know where you belong...
[21:50] Shiro
    And it's with us.
SIGN    Tsugumi's diary
[23:25] Musashi
    It's Tsugumi's diary! Let's see here...
[23:27] Tsugumi
    Your Lordship, I've learned Musashi is like
    a father and Kojiro is like a mother...
[23:32] Musashi
    "I'm really glad I met them."
[23:34] Kojiro
    Brings a tear to your eye...
[23:35] Tsutgumi
    But they both have terrible B.O.!
    And their feet stink!
