[00:00] Kojiro
    This thing is a Kishin?
[00:03] Bushi A
    Its head is missing...
[00:05] Kojiro
    We finally get here
    and it's already been slain?
[00:08] Tsugumi
    No... I think it's still alive.
[00:12] Kojiro
    What do you mean, Tsugumi?
[00:14] Tsugumi
    Well, when an oni dies,
    it's supposed to turn into Kitetsu.
[00:18] Tsugumi
    Since it hasn't yet,
    its horn is probably still intact.
[00:22] Kojiro
    I see.
[00:24] Tsugumi
    What're you doing?
[00:25] Kojiro
    I know Musashi's going to
     join back up with us.
[00:27] Kojiro
    I want to find the Kishin's weakness
    so we'll be ready when he does.
[00:32] Tsugumi
    Kojiro...
[02:17] Bushi B
    Any protrusions that could be the horn?
SIGN    A Bushi's Way of Life
[02:19] Bushi A
    I haven't seen anything.
[02:20] Kojiro
    Maybe it's on the head,
    since that seems to be missing.
[02:24] Shiro
    Exactly right!
[02:25] Kojiro
    Who's there?!
[02:29] Bushi A
    Are you the one who took
    this Kishin's head?
[02:32] Shiro
    Yep!
[02:34] Bushi B
    Where's the head with the horn?
[02:37] Bushi B
    Hey! Are you listening?
[02:39] Bushi B
    Where'd you hide the head?!
[02:41] Bushi B
    Hey... Answer me, damn you!
[02:47] Bushi B
    Best to just tell us where
    the Kishin's head is.
[02:50] Bushi B
    Then my band will take the kill!
[02:57] Kojiro
    Come on now... Is this really the time
    for Bushi to be fighting with each other?
[03:13] Shiro
    I'm here for your Kitetsu Blades.
[03:17] Shiro
    And that means you're all
    going to have to die!
[03:23] Bushi C
    Are you one of those sword hunters?!
[03:25] Kojiro
    A sword hunter?!
[03:26] Bushi D
    You have to kill the wielder of a
    Kitetsu Blade to steal its power!
[03:30] Bushi C
    You filthy animal! If that's what
    you're after, then bring it on!
[03:34] Bushi C
    Take this!
[03:44] Shiro
    I love it when the materials put up a fight!
[04:07] Mitsuru
    Wh-What is this?
[04:09] Mitsuru
    His strength... It's obscene!
[04:13] Bushi A
    He's no ordinary sword-hunting bandit!
[04:17] Tsugumi
    What do we do, Kojiro?!
[04:19] Kojiro
    Get back!
[04:20] Shiro
    Kojiro?
[04:22] Shiro
    Oh, then you're the one?
[04:26] Kojiro
    What?! Do you know me?
[04:29] Shiro
    A Bushi's death is a glorious thing.
[04:32] Shiro
    Even when your body's gone,
    your soul inhabits your Kitetsu Blade...
[04:36] Shiro
    You become one with your sword
    and go on fighting forever.
[04:40] Kojiro
    What are you on about?
[04:45] Shiro
    That redhead...
[04:47] Kojiro
    You mean Musashi?
[04:49] Shiro
    He's already a Kitetsu Blade.
    And he's waiting for you.
[04:52] Kojiro
    Musashi's a Kitetsu Blade?
[04:54] Kojiro
    What did you do to him?!
[04:55] Shiro
    I can do the same for you!
[04:57] Shiro
    Isn't that exciting?!
[05:00] Kojiro
    Musashi!
[05:06] Musashi
    I... What happened to me?
[05:11] Goddess
    You've turned into black stone.
[05:14] Musashi
    Black stone?
[05:20] Goddess
    That's right.
[05:22] Goddess
    You don't need to fight anymore.
[05:25] Goddess
    Stay here and hide forever.
[05:28] Goddess
    I don't want you to die.
[05:40] Goddess
    I thought you'd be safe in the magma...
[05:44] Goddess
    But it seems they can still
    reach us even here.
[05:49] Goddess
    It's all over. We're going to be caught.
[05:53] Goddess
    Such a shame...
[05:54] Musashi
    Wait! Who are you?!
[06:16] Townsperson 1
    That's the kid who failed
    the sword trial, right?
[06:19] Townsperson 2
    He's alive!
[06:25] Nanao
    Huh? You're still alive?
[06:28] Nanao
    I thought you would've
    turned to stone by now...
[06:31] Musashi
    Haven't we met before?
[06:33] Nanao
    I'm Nanao.
[06:34] Nanao
    And reeling you out was...
    a miscalculation, you could say.
[06:38] Nanao
    I wanted to finish our mission
    to retrieve the goddess,
[06:42] Nanao
    but it seems I pulled you out of the pit
    before you completely turned to black stone.
[06:48] Nanao
    Also, please put some clothes on.
[06:50] Musashi
    Pulled me out of the pit?
[06:52] Musashi
    This is...
[06:57] Musashi
    where I fell.
[06:59] Musashi
    I'm back?
[07:00] Musashi
    I'm back...
[07:03] Shiro
    We'll turn your friends into
    material for my swords, too!
[07:07] Musashi
    That's right! I gotta go!
[07:11] Musashi
    Thanks for hauling me up!
[07:13] Nanao
    You really don't have to thank me...
[07:16] Musashi
    Kojiro and Tsugumi are in danger!
[07:19] Musashi
    Kojiro! Tsugumi!
[07:21] Goddess(Light)
    You won't be able to do
    anything even if you go.
[07:24] Goddess(Light)
    You don't have the strength to fight.
[07:26] Goddess(Light)
    You would only get in the way.
[07:28] Goddess(Dark)
    You say you want to be a Bushi,
[07:31] Goddess(Dark)
    but that's just an excuse to be
    with your friends, isn't it?
[07:36] Musashi
    You don't get it.
[07:38] Musashi
    To me, being a Bushi is way more than that!
SIGN    The remaining Bushi
[07:46] (Flashback) Young Musashi{also what sign says; same breaks}
    The remaining Bushi...
SIGN    should just die
[07:49] (Flashback) Young Musashi{also what sign says; same breaks}
    should just die.
[08:00] (Flashback) Relative(Granny)
    Very good! Well said, Musashi.
[08:10] Young Musashi
    No...
[08:12] Young Musashi
    I'm the one who should die.
[08:29] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    What am I doing here?
[08:32] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    An apology won't make up for it...
[08:36] (Flashback) Jisai
    Musashi?
[08:39] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    Pops?
[08:42] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    Pops, I'm so sorry about what I said!
[08:47] (Flashback) Jisai
    It's cold out there.
[08:50] (Flashback) Jisai
    You should come in and warm up.
[09:01] Young Musashi
    I'm the worst. It hurts so bad
    to be told to die...
[09:08] Young Musashi
    I know that better than
    anyone, and I still...
[09:11] Young Musashi
    There's no point in me being alive!
[09:15] (Flashback) Jisai
    Musashi, don't worry about
    what happened today.
[09:19] (Flashback) Jisai
    I know you're in a tough position right now.
[09:22] (Flashback) Jisai
    And it's because you're friends
    with a Bushi family like ours.
[09:26] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    But you and Kojiro haven't
    done anything wrong!
[09:31] (Flashback) Jisai
    You've always always thought
    that way about us, haven't you?
[09:46] Young Musashi
    That was super cool!
[09:47] (Flashback) Jisai
    Kojiro was alone before he met you.
[09:51] (Flashback) Jisai
    The entire town treated him coldly,
    just like they treat you now.
[09:56] (Flashback) Jisai
    He was on the verge of breaking...
[09:59] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    Just like me...?
[10:05] (Flashback) Jisai
    Musashi...
[10:08] (Flashback) Jisai
    You saved Kojiro.
[10:12] (Flashback) Jisai
    Having a friend to laugh and cry with...
[10:15] (Flashback) Jisai
    Someone he could support
    and be supported by...
[10:17] (Flashback) Jisai
    It humanized him.
[10:20] (Flashback) Jisai
    And that made me happier than anything.
[10:24] (Flashback) Jisai
    Musashi, you're an amazing boy.
[10:28] (Flashback) Jisai
    You've saved two people's hearts.
[10:31] (Flashback) Jisai
    Kojiro and I owe you a great deal.
[10:34] (Flashback) Jisai
    Thank you.
[10:36] (Flashback) Jisai
    So don't ever think that you're worthless!
[10:41] (Flashback) Jisai
    I want you to live.
[10:43] (Flashback) Jisai
    Stay alive and keep on living, Musashi!
[10:51] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    Okay!
[11:07] (Flashback) Jisai
    Do you want to live here?
[11:16] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    Pops!
[11:18] Young Musashi
    Pops took me in and raised me.
[11:23] (Flashback) Jisai
    Don't worry about it.
[11:26] (Flashback) Jisai
    I'm just living the way I want,
     like a Bushi should.
[11:30] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    Like a Bushi should?
[11:31] (Flashback) Jisai
    You swear loyalty to whatever you
    cherish and gives you strength,
[11:35] (Flashback) Jisai
    then live without ever betraying that.
[11:38] (Flashback) Jisai
    That's the Bushi way of life.
[11:41] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    The Bushi way of life!
[11:48] Musashi
    Pops! You were a Bushi,
    and you kept my soul from dying!
[11:53] Musashi
    That's why...
[11:55] Musashi
    I'm gonna follow the same path
     without betraying it!
[12:07] Shiro
    You mustn't run away.
    You mustn't run away.
[12:10] Shiro
    Didn't I tell you clowns to stop running?!
[12:14] Bushi F
    That monster...
[12:16] Bushi G
    He's as strong as a Kishin.
[12:18] Shiro
    The souls of cowards are hideous!
[12:21] Shiro
    Bushi like that only turn
    into dull wastes of steel.
[12:25] Shiro
    That's not what I'm looking for!
[12:29] Shiro
    But y'know, even if that's not my style,
[12:32] Shiro
    I'd better make the redhead's
    friend into material.
[12:36] Shiro
    I made a promise, after all!
[12:40] Tsugumi
    No! He's coming right for us!
[12:44] Kojiro
    He really is after me!
[12:47] Tsugumi
    Kojiro?! Where are you going?!
[12:51] Tsugumi
    I'm over here, you crazy bastard!
[12:54] Mitsuru
    Is he trying to help the rest of us flee?!
     That's crazy!
[13:07] Kojiro
    A dead end...
[13:14] Kojiro
    Dammit!
[13:19] Kojiro
    I'm not going to die like this.
[13:29] Kojiro
    I can't hit him at all!
[13:31] Shiro
    Here we go...
[13:45] Kojiro
    It's no use... I don't stand a chance.
[13:53] Shiro
    That was very brave of you.
[13:55] Shiro
    I like people who've got real guts!
[13:58] Shiro
    The souls of courageous Bushi
    are a beautiful color...
[14:04] Kojiro
    I-I'm done for...
[14:06] Tsugumi
    Kojiro!
[14:12] Kojiro
    Why did he stop?
[14:18] Kojiro
    Musashi!
[14:19] Tsugumi
    What? Musashi?
[14:23] Bushi F
    Isn't that the kid who
    failed his sword trial?
[14:27] Bushi E
    What's he trying to do?
[14:46] Kojiro
    Musashi...
[14:49] Tsugumi
    Musashi!
[14:51] Musashi
    Kojiro, Tsugumi!
[14:55] Musashi
    I...
[14:57] Tsugumi
    You what?
[15:01] Musashi
    Uh, I'm back.
[15:05] Kojiro
    Took you long enough.
[15:07] Musashi
    You okay, Kojiro?
[15:09] Tsugumi
    That guy almost got him.
[15:15] Kojiro
    You look pretty messed up too.
[15:17] Kojiro
    What's with the outfit?
[15:21] Kojiro
    A Kitetsu Blade...?
[15:22] Kojiro
    Musashi, can you use Kitetsu Blades now?!
[15:26] Tsugumi
    That's awesome!
[15:31] Kojiro
    Wait, you still can't?!
[15:33] Musashi
    Well, I'm still not getting
    the cool light show...
[15:38] Musashi
    But that haze and those black stones aren't
    coming out of me when I grab one now.
[15:43] Kojiro
    So... what does that mean?
[15:47] Shiro
    Neither accepted
    nor rejected by the blade, hmm?
[15:52] Nanao
    Master.
[15:55] Shiro
    What's the meaning of this, Nanao?
[15:57] Shiro
    Why's the redhead still alive?
[16:00] Nanao
    Turns out I pulled him up too early
    when he was turning to black stone.
[16:05] Shiro
    My, that was careless.
[16:06] Shiro
    You were probably in a hurry to
    finish the job, weren't you?
[16:09] Shiro
    You slacker!
[16:11] Nanao
    Why, of course not. Don't be silly, Master.
[16:15] Nanao
    I was just overzealous in pursuit
    of our glorious mission.
[16:21] Shiro
    Well, I forgive you!
[16:23] Shiro
    Because things have gotten interesting.
[16:25] Nanao
    What do you mean?
[16:27] Shiro
    Look at him. He's halfway
    fused with the black stone.
[16:31] Shiro
    The goddess hasn't cast her judgment yet.
[16:35] Shiro
    Which means...
[16:37] Shiro
    If we attack him here now,
    the goddess will issue her sentence.
[16:41] Shiro
    And we'll get to see it happen!
[16:44] Shiro
    Just how bad is this going to be?
     I can't wait to find out!
[16:50] Nanao
    Understood. Resuming goddess
    retrieval operation.
[16:54] Nanao
    I just need to kill
    the redheaded host boy, right?
[17:00] Kojiro
    Now there's two of them...
[17:02] Kojiro
    What's their problem with me?!
[17:05] Musashi
    Nah. I think I'm the one
    they're trying to kill.
[17:10] Tsugumi
    So you're the one in danger?
[17:12] Tsugumi
    And you can't even use a Kitetsu Blade!
    Why'd you come here for?!
[17:15] Musashi
    What do you mean?
[17:16] Musashi
    I came because I knew you
    guys were in trouble.
[17:19] Musashi
    Besides, Bushi fight together.
[17:24] Musashi
    Right, Kojiro?
[17:26] (Flashback) Young Musashi
    I bet Bushi fight together with their friends!
[17:29] (Flashback) Young Kojiro
    With their friends?
[17:31] (Flashback) Young Kojiro
    I like the sound of that.
[17:33] (Flashback) YoungMusashi
    Okay, we're gonna do it too, Kojiro!
[17:35] (Flashback) YoungKojiro
    Yeah!
[17:38] Kojiro
    Together, huh?
[17:40] Kojiro
    Even if you have a sword,
    fighting alone doesn't mean much.
[17:45] Kojiro
    When you take a stand,
    it should be alongside someone.
[17:48] Kojiro
    For someone.
[17:50] Kojiro**
    But not just some random person.
[17:52] Kojiro
    And it doesn't matter who's in charge!
[17:55] Kojiro
    This guy... Musashi...
[17:57] Kojiro
    He said he wants to fight by my side!
[18:01] Kojiro
    He's always said that.
[18:03] Kojiro
    All right.
[18:04] Tsugumi
    Whoa!
[18:05] Tsugumi
    No way, no how!
[18:07] Tsugumi
    They're too strong!
[18:08] Tsugumi
    Besides, aren't we here
     to fight oni and not other Bushi?
[18:12] Kojiro
    But they're after us.
[18:14] Kojiro
    If we run, then someone else
    might get hurt in the process.
[18:19] (Flashback) Jisai
    Kojiro, you're not trash.
[18:22] (Flashback) Jisai
    You're the descendant of a proud,
    courageous bloodline.
[18:25] Kojiro
    I want to be able to face
    my dad with pride!
[18:30] Tsugumi
    Y-You do...?
[18:32] (Flashback) Tsubame
    We're also doing this to protect
    people who are weaker than us.
[18:36] (Flashback) Tsubame
    That's the Bushi way, Tsugumi.
[18:39] Tsugumi
    Tsubame...
[18:40] Kojiro
    Moreover, they're Bushi, too.
[18:43] Kojiro
    How lame would it make us
    if we turned tail and ran?
[18:47] Kojiro
    We're forming the strongest
    band ever, aren't we?
[18:54] Kojiro
    The three of us are gonna work together...
[18:57] Kojiro
    and find a way out of this!
[19:01] Tsugumi/Musashi
    Right!
[19:04] Nanao
    My master tends to amuse himself
    in a very wasteful fashion.
[19:08] Nanao
    So I'll be the one to take your lives.
[19:19] Tsugumi
    Her staff came apart!
[19:21] Nanao
    My Kitetsu Blade...
[19:31] Nanao
    Seven Belled Armadillo Sword!
[19:33] Musashi
    That sword!
[19:34] Tsugumi
    One, two, three...
[19:36] Kojiro
    Seven blades?!
[19:37] Nanao
    Have a taste of my sword skills!
[19:41] Nanao
    Seven Lashing Swords Style
    secret technique...
[19:43] Nanao
    Mangling Murder Wheel!
[19:50] Tsugumi
    A style with seven swords
    has to be cheating!
[19:53] Kojiro
    Even if you dodge one, the rest keep coming!
[19:56] Nanao
    Just give up. Nobody likes a sore loser!
[20:06] Shiro
    There you go, Nanao!
[20:08] Nanao
    I'll be expecting
    a big reward for this, Master.
[20:14] Musashi
    Her technique might be awesome,
[20:16] Musashi
    but she's no oni.
[20:18] Musashi
    I can take her even with a regular sword!
[20:21] Musashi
    That means I can actually fight this time!
[20:27] Nanao
    One! Two! Three!
[20:37] Nanao
    And four!
[20:41] Musashi
    She's too far away! In that case...
[20:45] Musashi
    With the earth itself acting as a scabbard,
[20:48] Musashi
    you draw a flying spiral
    to cleave apart demons.
[20:52] Musashi
    Kanemaki-Isshin Style
    sword-drawing technique...
[20:55] Nanao
    What's this?
[20:56] Musashi
    Thousand Vortex Shredder!
[21:01] Nanao
    What?!
[21:13] Kojiro
    Musashi!
[21:17] Musashi
    Dammit, I was so close...
[21:22] Tsugumi
    I don't think you were!
[21:24] Tsugumi
    How are we supposed to beat her
    if we can't even reach her?
[21:28] Musashi
    We can't reach her?
[21:30] Musashi
    We're just getting her blades...
[21:33] Musashi
    Hey, what if we smash all
    seven of her swords?
[21:37] Kojiro
    I see. You want to sunder her weapon.
[21:40] Kojiro
    Not a bad idea.
[21:41] Tsugumi
    Yeah, but how exactly is
    this gonna work, Captain?
[21:45] Kojiro
    Musashi, Tsugumi...
[21:51] Kojiro
    I've got a plan.
[23:25] Nanao
    I messed up again today...
SIGN    Surprisingly klutzy
[23:28] Nanao
    I pulled the redhead up too soon,
[23:30] Nanao
    and the second I took my eyes off him,
    he thanked me and ran off.
SIGN    Waits for directions
[23:33] Tsugumi
    You should've just waited instead.
[23:35] Tsugumi
    That way, someone else could handle it.
[23:37] Musashi
    I get the feeling it's a bad idea
    to leave them to their own devices.
