[01:30] Narr
    As the Muromachi shogunate continues
    to weaken from persistent, ongoing war,
[01:37] Narr
    military conflicts erupt between
     rival feudal lords across all of Japan.
[01:41] Narr
    The age is now one of chaos;
     bloodshed leading to ever more bloodshed.
SIGN    A Jet Black Arrival
[02:02] Troops
    Did you hear?
[02:05] Troops
    There are supposed to be
    demons in the Saika forest.
[02:08] Troops
    Demons?
[02:09] Troops
    Yeah. Troops have been
    stationed here before us,
[02:13] Troops
    but apparently none of them
    ever made it back alive.
[02:16] Troops
    Are you freaking kidding me?
[02:18] Troops
    I heard the Saika feast on the
    flesh of their slain enemies...
[02:24] Officers
    You, there! Stop running your
    mouths and keep marching!
[02:27] Troops
    Sir!
[02:33] Kuro
    All right...
SIGN    Kurohyo of the Saika
[02:43] Troops
    I-I didn't sign up for this!
[02:44] Troops
    No way am I dying out here!
[02:49] Troops
    A woman?
SIGN    Ageha of the Saika
[02:52] Troops
    What's a woman doing all the way out here?
[02:54] Troops
    Look, we've already lost the battle.
    No one's going to find out.
[02:57] Troops
    Let's enjoy the spoils of war...
[02:59] Troops
    Yeah!
[03:07] Ageha
    I wonder what kind of sordid
    dreams you're having?
[03:16] Tsuru
    Hotaru.
[03:18] Tsuru
    Stay behind me and—
[03:19] Tsuru
    Hey!
[03:23] Hotaru
    And another!
[03:25] Hotaru
    Got 'em.
SIGN    Hotarubi of the Saika
[03:27] Hotaru
    Maybe you should hide behind me, Tsuru-nii!
SIGN    Tsurukubi of the Saika
[03:37] Tsuru
    Not in a hundred years.
SIGN    Hototogisu of the Saika
[03:46] Commander
    How can a handful of men
    beat a force of 300?!
[03:51] Commander
    They're demons... Th-The Saika demons!
[03:57] Deku
    What's with these guys
    and the stupid costumes?
SIGN    Deku of the Saika
[04:01] Deku
    Magoichi, look lively or
    their boss is gonna get away.
[04:05] Magoichi
    I don't think so!
[04:13] Magoichi
    Leaving your men as you run off?
    You're not cut out to be a leader.
[04:17] Commander
    Stand aside, worm!
SIGN    Magoichi of the Saika
[04:26] Everybody
    I'm beat!
[04:28] Everybody
    Finally done...
[04:28] Everybody
    I'm bushed.
[04:31] Everybody
    I got three more than you.
[04:33] Magoichi
    This is the Saika village, where we live.
[04:35] Magoichi
    The men hammer iron,
[04:37] Magoichi
    the women work the bellows.
[04:39] Magoichi
    It's a tiny settlement,
    where expert gunsmiths live in secret.
[04:44] Magoichi
    The feudal lords and various bandits
    keep coming after the village,
[04:48] Magoichi
    and every time the warriors
    of Saika send them packing.
[04:54] Deku
    Man, a bath after a battle feels especially good.
[04:59] Magoichi
    It's almost like I fight
    for this very moment.
[05:03] Deku
    I feel alive again!
[05:05] Magoichi
    A little slice of heaven!
[05:10] Magoichi
    What's up?
[05:12] Deku
    You've changed a lot, man.
[05:14] Deku
    You're nothing like the Magoichi who
    drifted into the village three years ago.
[05:18] Magoichi
    Have I? I can't really tell, myself.
[05:22] Deku
    You sure have. And it's a good thing.
[05:33] Magoichi
    Armors.
[05:35] Magoichi
    They're sacred treasures
    that tap into the flowing
[05:37] Magoichi
    Ryumyaku energy that's said
    to run deep underground...
[05:40] Magoichi
    And for those that resonate with Ryumyaku,
    it can awaken all kinds of powers.
[05:45] Magoichi
    Physical prowess beyond human limits.
[05:48] Magoichi
    Special abilities that reflect
    the user's personality.
[05:52] Magoichi
    Destructive power beyond what technology
    of this era should be capable of...
[05:57] Magoichi
    It's thanks to these Armors that the Saika
    don't owe allegiance to any feudal lord.
[06:02] Magoichi
    Apparently I showed up here, carrying this...
[06:07] Magoichi
    I don't have any memories
    of what I was doing before.
[06:10] Magoichi
    I have no idea who I am,
    or why I came here...
[06:16] Magoichi
    On that night when I drifted here,
    just what was I doing...
[06:23] Magoichi
    Ow—!
[06:26] Deku
    Damn it, you were angsting out
    again, weren't you?
[06:28] Magoichi
    Did you have to hit me?! That seriously hurt!
[06:31] Deku
    We just won a battle. Cheer up a little.
[06:35] Magoichi
    You ass! First you slug me and
     then you tell me to cheer up?!
[06:39] Deku
    Hey, stupid, it's the boss's job to encourage
    his men and celebrate their victories.
[06:46] Magoichi
    Who are you calling stupid, stupid?!
[06:48] Deku
    You wanna tell me what's wrong with calling
    someone who's stupid, stupid? Stupid.
[06:51] Magoichi
    You... You called me stupid three times!
[06:54] Deku
    Shut up! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!
[06:56] Magoichi
    That's four! I've had it with you!
     Let's fight! I'll—
[07:10] Hotaru
    Tsuru-nii, what did you ask the raven for?
[07:13] Tsuru
    For you to grow up into someone who behaves.
[07:17] Hotaru
    You always treat me like a kid...
[07:20] Tsuru
    That's because you are one.
[07:22] Hotaru
    Just you wait! I'm gonna do such a good
    job fighting, you're gonna be shocked!
[07:28] Tsuru
    Not in a hundred years.
[07:32] Hotaru
    If that's true, I'm never gonna
    be able to get stronger than you.
[07:36] Tsuru
    Exactly.
[07:37] Tsuru
    You should just let me protect you, Hotaru.
[07:40] Hotaru
    Look, I'm a Saika soldier, too!
[07:47] Tsuru
    About that...
[07:49] Tsuru
    I'm actually thinking about leaving.
[07:52] Tsuru
    The village has come under
    attack more and more often.
[07:55] Tsuru
    Which means your life is
    in more danger than ever.
[08:01] Hotaru
    But—
[08:02] Tsuru
    We're leaving after the next battle.
[08:06] Hotaru
    But what are you gonna tell
    Magoichi and the others?
[08:09] Tsuru
    I'll convince them somehow.
[08:11] Tsuru
    Besides, I don't think they
    can keep the village safe.
[08:24] Ageha
    You realize how bizarre it is to turn your
    Armor into a part of your body, right?
[08:29] Kurohyo
    Who the hell are you calling bizarre, huh?
     You wanna get filled with lead?
[08:33] Ageha
    And rude, to boot.
[08:35] Ageha
    Honestly, what kind of
    upbringing did you have?
[08:37] Kurohyo
    Look, workshops are sacred, and that means
    someone like you doesn't belong here, man!
[08:44] Ageha
    Who are you calling a man?! I'm a woman!
[08:47] Kurohyo
    Shut up, dumbass!
[08:49] Ageha
    I've had enough from you, you gadget freak!
[08:51] Kurohyo
    Is that right, huh?! You wanna go?!
[08:54] Ageha
    If it wasn't against the code, I'd smash
     you up and turn you into scrap!
[08:58] Kuro
    Code?
[09:00] Kuro
    The rules he came up with, you mean?
[09:03] Kuro
    It's so stupid.
[09:05] Kuro
    I don't accept him as the boss, anyway.
[09:14] Ageha
    After you already challenged him
    to a duel and got your butt kicked?
[09:17] Kuro
    I...
[09:19] Kuro
    I was just having an off day.
[09:21] Ageha
    I'm sure. It was just a bad day.
[09:25] Kuro
    What about you, huh?!
    You think he's got what it takes?
[09:28] Ageha
    I do. Because I like strong men.
[09:32] Ageha
    So long as Mago-mago
    stays strong, I'll follow his orders.
[09:35] Ageha
    But if someone stronger comes along,
    I might stick to them instead.
[09:39] Ageha
    I mean, what's hotter than two guys fighting?
[09:44] Kuro
    You're a guy, too.
[09:46] Ageha
    So rude! I'm a woman where it counts!
[09:49] Deku
    Guys, we're celebrating tonight!
[09:52] Deku
    So drink up, sing out, and dance!
[09:55] Deku
    Make some noise!
[09:56] Saika
    Yeah!
[10:00] Magoichi
    The people of this village accepted me
    when I couldn't even remember my own name.
[10:02] Ageha
    Oh, you're so sweet.
[10:07] Magoichi
    They gave me a place to belong
    when I was an outsider.
[10:10] Random Saikas
    If he were a girl I'd be head over heels!
[10:13] Ageha
    You guys... I could start charging, y'know!
[10:19] Magoichi
    Appreciate it!
[10:20] Deku
    Open those eyes up
     and take a good look around!
[10:25] Deku
    The mountains of Kumano and the Kii River!
[10:29] Ageha
    Even though the land is
    embraced by the gods...
[10:34] Both
    Those who live in Kishu bow to no one!
[10:39] Magoichi
    I want to protect this village.
    No matter what it costs me.
[10:39] Both
    The villagers of Saika bow to no one!
[10:59] Deku
    I'm gonna hurl...
[11:01] Magoichi
    That's what you get.
[11:02] Deku
    And you're fine, Magoichi?
[11:04] Magoichi
    I never manage to get drunk.
[11:07] Deku
    That's freaky.
[11:12] Magoichi
    Nice weather today.
[11:14] Deku
    Yeah. Makes you forget about all the
    fighting that's going on out there.
[11:19] Magoichi
    Say, Deku...
[11:21] Magoichi
    If there's ever peace again,
[11:23] Magoichi
    that means there won't
    be any work for mercenaries.
[11:26] Deku
    Well, not having to fight
    for a living would be nice...
[11:30] Deku
    But how would we make money, then?
[11:32] Magoichi
    If merc work is out,
    we'll have to find other jobs.
[11:35] Deku
    What other jobs? The only thing I know
    how to do is blast away with my Armor.
[11:39] Deku
    Aw, crap—
[11:42] Magoichi
    That's just sad.
[12:02] Cortes?
    I want the Saika village razed.
[12:15] Troops
    No one escapes!
[12:17] Troops
    Get them!
[12:29] Magoichi
    What's going on, Hototogisu?
[12:31] Hototogisu
    All of our lookouts have been killed,
[12:33] Hototogisu
    so there's no telling how many
    or what types of troops there are.
[12:36] Deku
    These guys must be good, then.
[12:40] Hototogisu
    The fact they've set the forest on fire
[12:42] Hototogisu
    indicates an intent to kill
    everyone in the village.
[12:45] Magoichi
    Where are the others?
[12:47] Hototogisu
    All in position.
[12:49] Magoichi
    Okay.
[12:50] Magoichi
    Hototogisu, help the
    non-combatants get to safety.
[12:53] Hototogisu
    Understood.
[12:55] Deku
    You sure he can handle it?
[12:58] Magoichi
    We don't have to worry about Hototogisu.
[12:59] Magoichi
    Let's hurry!
[13:00] ---
    Yeah.
[13:06] Hotaru
    Well?
[13:07] Tsuru
    They're headed straight for us.
[13:10] Hotaru
    What are we gonna do, Tsuru-nii?
[13:12] Tsuru
    Same as usual. Kurohyo breaks them up
    with suppressing fire, then we strike.
[13:17] Tsuru
    There's something creepy about these
    guys and those weird masks. Be careful.
[13:21] ---
    
[13:25] Kurohyo
    One, two, three, four...
[13:28] Kurohyo
    About twenty of them.
[13:31] Kurohyo
    Should make decent target
    practice for my improved Armor.
[13:35] Kurohyo
    Okay...
[13:38] Kurohyo
    I'm gonna put holes in all of you!
[13:45] Kurohyo
    How's that? Everybody dead?
[13:52] Kurohyo
    Damn it...
[13:56] Hotaru
    Kurohyo is in trouble!
[13:59] Tsuru
    Hotaru, wait! They're dangerous!
[14:02] Tsuru
    Hotaru!
[14:06] Ageha
    I see. Once we've served our purpose,
    we should be disposed of?
[14:09] Ageha
    That does sound like him.
[14:20] Hototogisu
    Being shot in the limbs doesn't
    seem to slow them down,
[14:32] Hototogisu
    and their athleticism is
    beyond human limits...
[14:36] Hototogisu
    Fascinating.
[14:42] Hototogisu
    Huh? Still not dying, then?
[14:46] Hototogisu
    To stop them, I suppose I'll have to...
[14:56] Hototogisu
    This mission might be more
    trouble than I thought.
[15:07] Mago
    We're surrounded...
[15:08] Deku
    What's with these guys? They're not normal.
[15:13] Mago
    Deku, how many shots do you have left?
[15:16] Deku
    Two more, I think.
[15:20] Mago
    Okay, we're gonna have
    to break through them and—
[15:26] Deku
    What was that?!
[15:27] Mago
    It came from the village!
[15:32] Kurohyo
    Damn it, out of ammo!
[15:45] Hotaru
    You okay, Kurohyo?
[15:47] Kurohyo
    Hell no, I'm not!
[15:50] Kurohyo
    You know how much it took
    to get this Armor working?!
[15:53] Kurohyo
    Hey, asshole, you'd better not be dead!
[15:57] Kurohyo
    Get up! Now!
[15:58] Kurohyo
    I want compensation, damn it!
[16:00] Kurohyo
    Come on! Come on! You piece of—
[16:03] Tsuru
    Kurohyo, quit screwing around.
[16:07] Kuro
    You gonna pay for my damages
    instead or something?
[16:09] Tsuru
    I couldn't afford to pay the
    Sanzu River ferryman right now.
[16:14] Tsuru
    So, if we don't want to die,
    we need to fight our way out of this.
[16:18] Kuro
    Yeah...
[16:18] Kuro
    Damn it!
[16:20] Hotaru
    Okay!
[16:28] Ageha
    These kinds of intense battles
    are a nightmare for your skin!
[16:33] Ageha
    Not that I dislike aggressive men, but...
[16:41] Ageha
    But this might be bad news...
[16:48] Deku
    Damn it, these guys play dirty!
[17:00] Mago
    What do I do?
[17:02] Mago
    At this rate, everyone's going to die.
[17:05] Mago
    Because of me, they'll all...
[17:08] Mago
    I have to...
[17:09] Mago
    What do I have to do?!
[17:16] Mago
    Deku!
[17:23] Mago
    Hey, Deku! Hold it together!
[17:26] Deku
    It's okay. Nothing worth freaking out over.
[17:30] Mago
    Can you stand?
[17:32] Deku
    Don't worry about me.
    Help the people in the village...
[17:36] Mago
    I know.
[17:38] Mago
    Think, think, think!
[17:40] Mago
    How do I get us out of this?!
[17:45] Mago
    It's him!
[17:47] Mago
    He must be the leader!
[17:49] Mago
    If I take their commander's head,
    this battle will be over!
[17:54] Mago
    This fight!
[18:08] Mago
    I'm through!
[18:09] Mago
    And you're mine—
[18:18] Mago
    What just happened?
[18:21] Mago
    That's...
[18:22] Mago
    An Armor?!
[18:33] Mago
    He's so intimidating...
[18:35] Mago
    and has no openings!
[18:42] Mago
    Every one of his attacks is so heavy!
[18:45] Mago
    My arms are getting number
    with every attack I block!
[18:49] Mago
    It feels like I'm going to pass out!
[19:07] Mago
    Damn it... I can't move my arms...
[19:11] Mago
    I can't lift my sword!
[19:13] Mago
    Am I really gonna die here...
    unable to protect anyone?
[19:37] Nobunaga
    You're raising a lot of hell in my lands.
[19:44] Nobunaga
    You're Magoichi of the Saika, right?
[19:49] Nobunaga
    Hope you don't mind,
    but I'm taking over this fight.
[19:59] Magoichi
    Who... are you?
