**[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?
**[21:35] Sato**
Magoichi and
**[21:36] Spi**
Deku's
**[21:37] Both**

***SIGN*** Magoichi Deku Casual Kishu Travelogue!
**[21:42] Spi**
Everyone, we wanna thank you for
watching episode 1 of Rusted Armor!
***SIGN*** Deku
**[21:44] Sato**
Thank you very much.
**[21:46] Spi**
This anime, Rusted Armors, actually
started with a 2.5D stage production...
***SIGN*** 2.5D Theater Production
**[21:50] Sato**
Right.
**[21:50] Spi**
And from that, the anime and other
multimedia versions were launched,
***SIGN*** Anime/Comics
***SIGN*** Reverse
2.5D
Adaptation
**[21:53] Spi**
giving us a reverse 2.5D adaptation,
which is a first-of-its kind project.
**[21:57] Sato**
That's right. From the stage to the anime.
**[21:59] Spi**
Right.
**[22:00] Sato**
The first of its kind.
**[22:02] Spi**
As for what we're doing here,
**[22:03] Spi**
this segment is about you and I traveling
all around Kishu and Wakayama,
***SIGN*** Deku & Magoichi's Casual Kishu Travelogue: Satou Taiki and Spi
travel areas in Kishu and Wakayama with connections to the Saika!
**[22:07] Spi**
and visiting places with
connections to Rusted Armor.
***SIGN*** Deku & Magoichi's
Casual Kishu

**[22:12] Sato**
Since we're Deku and Magoichi?
I see, sounds good.
***SIGN*** Taiki Satou
***SIGN*** Magoichi
**[22:14] Spi**
So, it's time to start Deku &
Magoichi's Casual Kishu Travelogue!
**[22:19] Spi**
I wonder what kinda
trip this is gonna be.
**[22:23] ---**
We're starting off with this:
**[22:25] ---**
The Yanomiya Shrine!
**[22:28] Sato**
Here we are at Yanomiya Shrine!
**[22:29] Spi**
Let's go and check it out.
**[22:31] Sato**
Right!
***SIGN*** Inside we go!!
***SIGN*** A shrine with a connection to the Saika, the Yanomiya Shrine
**[22:35] Spi**
Hey, good afternoon!
**[22:37] Sato**
Good afternoon!
**[22:38] Spi**
Hey, are those ema?
**[22:41] Sato**
That is... is it okay if
we take a closer look?
***SIGN*** Emas spotted!
**[22:44] Sato**
Look at that,
wouldn't you know it...
**[22:46] Sato**
The Yanomiya
Shrine means
**[22:47] Sato**
the Yata Raven!
**[22:48] Spi**
That sure is the Yata Raven.
**[22:50] Sato**
The symbol
of the Saika.
**[22:52] Spi**
That's right. In the anime,
it's on their banners!
**[22:56] Spi**
The symbol of the Saika, the Yata raven.
***SIGN*** Casual Memo: The Yata Raven
***SIGN*** The Yanomiya Shrine is dedicated to the Yata Raven!
**[22:58] Spi**
The same divine raven that's
associated with the shrine!
**[23:02] Spi**
And since we're at a shrine
with a connection to the anime,
**[23:05] Spi**
we're gonna pray for its success!
**[23:07] Spi**
Pardon us.
**[23:08] Sato**
Excuse us!
**[23:10] Spi**
Excuse us.
***SIGN*** Not in sync!
**[23:21] Spi**
So, did you pray
for our success?
**[23:22] Sato**
Yep.
**[23:23] Sato**
I prayed that Season 2 of the
anime will air some day.
**[23:27] Spi**
That's a little premature,
isn't it?
**[23:28] Spi**
We're still on Season 1.
**[23:29] Sato**
The first episode, huh...
***SIGN*** Still the first episode
**[23:30] Spi**
The first episode
hasn't aired yet.
**[23:30] Sato**
Okay, I'll pray that
the anime is a success.
**[23:32] Spi**
Let it be a success.
***SIGN*** The End
