Sir Ranmaru, where is our lord?
[00:16] Ranmaru
He's in the inner temple.
SIGN Oda Owari-no-Kami Nobunaga
[01:05] Kousetsu
Did you have that dream again?
[01:15] Souza
It's a terrible dream.

The Return of the Incident
[03:23] Vassal
Please escape, Milord!
[03:36] Kashuu
Hup.
[03:38] Kashuu
You okay,
[03:39] Kashuu
Tokugawa Ieyasu-san?
[03:47] Ieyasu
Who are you people?
[03:48] Fox
Tokugawa Ieyasu was being wined and dined
here in Azuchi Castle at this time.
[03:54] Fox
I believe the Time Retrograde
Army seeks to assassinate him.
[04:00] Nakigitsune
Well, not on our watch.
[04:02] Kashuu
Now...
[04:05] Kashuu
Time to cut them down.
[04:16] Yamabushi
Are you unharmed, brother?
[04:19] Yamanbagiri
Yeah, no problems here.
[04:23] Yamabushi
That's good to hear.
[04:25] Yamanbagiri
Well, I'm glad you're having fun.
[04:27] Yamabushi
I wish to become strong enough
to laugh everything off.
[04:32] Yamanbagiri
And what will you do then?
[04:34] Yamabushi
When I do, this war will be over.
[04:39] Yamabushi
Maybe I'll go back to
being a museum exhibit.
[04:43] Yamanbagiri
Talk about carefree.
[04:46] Horikawa
There's no time for chit-chat.
[04:48] Horikawa
We're in the middle of a battle.
[04:51] Yamabushi
Right!
[05:07] Urashima
Hup!
[05:20] Kogitsunemaru
Looks like we're in for a fine day.
[05:34] Yamanbagiri
Sorry we're late.
[05:37] Yamanbagiri
The Second Division has returned.
[05:39] Kashuu
I'm glad we made it back
in time for breakfast.
[05:42] Horikawa
You mean back in time for
the morning meeting.
[05:46] Mikazuki
Good work completing your mission.
[05:49] Mikazuki
Now, let's begin another day
[05:52] Mikazuki
under the auspices of our master.
[05:56] Aizen
What's your task today?
[06:01] Uguisumaru
This is some good broth.
[06:02] Hotarumaru
Yeah.
[06:22] Fudou
Where am I?
[06:24] Mikazuki
Welcome to our Citadel.
[06:26] Fudou
"Citadel"?
[06:28] Mikazuki
You were awakened by the Saniwa
[06:31] Mikazuki
and have manifested as a Sword Warrior.
[06:34] Fudou
A Sword Warrior...
[06:38] Fudou
I see.
[06:40] Fudou
So you...
[06:42] Fudou
You're my new master.
[06:48] Yagen
A dream, huh?
[06:51] Souza
Yes. It's always the same one.
[06:57] Souza
A dream of back when I was a sword.
SIGN Oda Owari-no-Kami Nobunaga
[07:02] Yagen
I dream at times, too.
[07:04] Yagen
But...
[07:07] Yagen
It's never the same one over and over again.
[07:11] Yagen
The Honnoji Incident, huh?
[07:13] Yagen
Maybe it's not a dream,
[07:16] Yagen
but your past memories.
[07:18] Souza
My memories?
[07:20] Yagen
But you're not the only sword
Nobunaga-san had, Souza.
[07:26] Yagen
Perhaps there's a reason you're
dreaming about that day.
[07:33] Yagen
Like maybe...
[07:35] Yagen
you feel intense regret about it?
[07:38] Souza
I couldn't say.
[07:43] Yagen
I'll give you some good sleep medicine.
[07:46] Yagen
Hopefully, it'll let you
sleep too soundly to dream.
[07:52] Maeda
He's not here, either.
[07:54] Yagen
What's the matter?
[07:56] Midare
Oh, Yagen. Did the newcomer show up here?
[07:59] Yagen
What newcomer?
[08:01] Hirano
A new Sword Warrior has manifested.
[08:03] Midare
Where did he go?
[08:15] Yamabushi
Brother! You won't win if you're
stuck on the receiving end!
[08:30] Tsurumaru
Wow. He had his back against the wall,
but he used that to his advantage.
[08:34] Shokudaikiri
Yeah. That was an impressive move.
[08:38] Kashuu
I've got lots left in the tank!
[09:02] Horikawa
This match is over!
[09:04] Horikawa
The result...
[09:05] Horikawa
is a draw!
[09:07] Yamabushi
That was spectacular, you two.
[09:10] Kashuu
No, we're not done yet.
[09:12] Kashuu
Yamanbagiri may have manifested first,
[09:15] Kashuu
but I'm not about to let him beat me.
[09:18] Kashuu
All right.
[09:19] Kashuu
Let's do another round.
[09:21] Doudanuki
Afraid not.
[09:22] Doudanuki
It's my turn now.
[09:25] Shokudaikiri
I could take you on.
[09:27] Tsurumaru
How about a free-for-all training session?
[09:30] Horikawa
You mean we all fight one another at once?
[09:33] Tsurumaru
You can't assume a real battle
will always be one-on-one.
[09:36] Yamabushi
That sounds like a great idea.
[09:39] Yamabushi
Oh, Souza-dono!
[09:42] Tsurumaru
Care to join us, Souza?
[09:44] Shokudaikiri
Daily sparring experience will
pay off in the long run.
[09:48] Souza
No, I must refuse.
[09:50] Yamanbagiri
Are you not feeling well?
[09:53] Souza
I'm a little sleep-deprived.
[09:56] Tsurumaru
That's not ideal.
[09:58] Shokudaikiri
Be it our battles to defend history
or our daily tasks at the Citadel,
[10:01] Shokudaikiri
we can only perform when we're healthy.
[10:03] Fudou
Hic!
[10:06] Fudou
Hic...
[10:15] Fudou
Goodnight.
[10:20] Yamanbagiri
H-Hey, wait. This area's not for sleeping.
[10:24] Fudou
Ugh, come on.
[10:27] Yamanbagiri
Who the heck are you?
[10:28] Fudou
Hey, that's rude!
[10:30] Shokudaikiri
Wait, are you a newcomer?
[10:33] Fudou
I'm Fudou Yukimitsu,
[10:35] Fudou
Oda Nobunaga's favorite sword!
[10:40] Kashuu
Nobunaga?
[10:41] Fudou
This Citadel's so damn big, I got lost.
[10:45] Fudou
That's when I found some
amazake in the kitchen.
[10:48] Fudou
I figured I could help myself to
some, but then I couldn't stop.
[10:52] Shokudaikiri
Someone's tipsy, I see.
[10:55] Tsurumaru
I wish that was me.
[10:57] Doudanuki
If you were one of Oda Nobunaga's swords...
[11:00] Kashuu
...then you and Souza must know each other.
[11:03] Fudou
Souza?
[11:07] Souza
H-How can I help you?
[11:11] Fudou
It's so strange.
[11:12] Fudou
We were only together as swords.
[11:15] Fudou
This is our first time
meeting in these forms.
[11:20] Fudou
But I can still tell who you are.
[11:22] Fudou
You're Yoshimoto Samonji,
Miyoshi Samonji, and finally Sousan Samonji!
[11:27] Fudou
You're called Souza now, huh?
[11:30] Fudou
Long time no see!
[11:32] Souza
I can't say I remember you.
[11:34] Fudou
What? That's kinda mean.
[11:37] Fudou
Not that I recall much
about the past, either.
[11:42] Fudou
But there is one thing I remember.
[11:46] Fudou
You and I were both swords
beloved by Lord Nobunaga!
[11:58] Mikazuki
Oh, Fudou Yukimitsu.
[12:01] Mikazuki
I've been looking for you.
[12:03] Mikazuki
Ah, it seems you have already
introduced yourself.
[12:07] Fudou
Yeah, and I also met an old friend.
[12:10] Mikazuki
An old friend, is it?
[12:12] Tsurumaru
He and Souza share the same
former master—Oda Nobunaga.
[12:16] Shokudaikiri
Which means he must know Yagen-kun
and Hasebe-kun, as well.
[12:21] Fudou
There are other Nobunaga swords here?
[12:24] Yamabushi
Aye. Oda Nobunaga was a famed
sword collector, after all.
[12:30] Kashuu
A lot of swords are linked to
him in some way or the other.
[12:32] Mikazuki
I wanted to show him around the Citadel
while introducing him to you all,
[12:38] Mikazuki
but our master asked me to
handle a different matter.
[12:41] Mikazuki
Souza Samonji.
[12:43] Mikazuki
Would you show him around for me?
[12:46] Souza
Who, me?
[12:49] Mikazuki
You two go way back. You must
have lots to catch up on.
[12:54] Mikazuki
I'm counting on you.
[12:55] Horikawa
Not waiting for an answer, huh?
[12:58] Fudou
I'm in your hands, Souza.
[13:01] Fudou
Hmm? What's wrong?
[13:06] Yamanbagiri
I'll join you on the tour of the Citadel.
[13:09] Fudou
Who the heck are you?
[13:11] Yamanbagiri
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[13:13] Fudou
"Yamanbagiri Kunihiro"? Then...
[13:17] Fudou
I'll call you Manba-chan!
[13:19] Yamanbagiri
Ma—
[13:19] Fudou
Say, why are you wearing this cloak?
[13:22] Fudou
It's none of your business.
[13:25] Fudou
What? C'mon, tell me! It won't kill you!
[13:27] Souza
Fudou Yukimitsu.
[13:29] Souza
You're still very new to our Citadel.
[13:33] Souza
Take it slow and steady.
[13:40] Tsurumaru
Even a journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step.
[13:45] Yamanbagiri
A.D. 2205.
[13:48] Yamanbagiri
Historical revisionists,
who are plotting to alter history,
[13:52] Yamanbagiri
began their attacks on the past.
[13:55] Yamanbagiri
In order to defend history from
the attacks of the revisionists,
[14:00] Yamanbagiri
the Saniwa, our master, manifested us.
[14:03] Yamanbagiri
When we're not in battle, we spend
our time here in the Citadel.
[14:07] Fudou
What's with that?
[14:08] Yamanbagiri
We don't get to goof off just
because we're not fighting.
[14:11] Yamanbagiri
We still have vital tasks to
handle—internal affairs.
[14:14] Fudou
Internal affairs?
[14:16] Yamanbagiri
Maintaining the Citadel,
preparing for missions,
[14:19] Yamanbagiri
training for battle, and other daily tasks
[14:22] Yamanbagiri
are also a part of our job.
[14:25] Yamanbagiri
Upkeep of these bodies our
master has bestowed upon us
[14:29] Yamanbagiri
requires completing a whole
slew of regular tasks.
[14:32] Yamanbagiri
If our clothes get dirty, we wash them.
If they get frayed, we mend them.
[14:36] Yamanbagiri
It's also on us to procure our own food.
[14:39] Yamanbagiri
We harvest the vegetables we
grow on our farm every morning.
[14:44] Yamanbagiri
When we get hungry, we eat.
[14:46] Yamanbagiri
We can't function on an
empty stomach, after all.
[14:50] Fudou
Wow. So our bodies make
things a lot harder, huh?
[14:56] Yamanbagiri
Cooking meals is part of it, too.
[14:59] Yamanbagiri
We can't neglect our physical shape
when we have to go into battle.
[15:03] Yamanbagiri
And cooking requires firewood.
[15:06] Yamanbagiri
We procure what we need
daily from the nearby forest.
[15:11] Yamanbagiri
Chopping wood makes for good training.
[15:15] Yamanbagiri
We also need to look after the
horses we ride into battle.
[15:19] Shishiou
Here's the topography of
this area from back then.
[15:19] Yamanbagiri
The library houses historical
data and strategy manuals.
[15:21] Maeda
We've got to find a way through.
[15:24] Fudou
What are they doing?
[15:27] Yamanbagiri
We take turns handling internal affairs.
[15:29] Yamanbagiri
When we're not assigned any
tasks, we take the day off.
[15:30] Kogitsunemaru
So that's your game.
[15:33] Yamanbagiri
Getting sufficient rest
is part of our duties.
[15:35] Uguisumaru
Oh?
[15:37] Uguisumaru
Care to join me for a game, Yamanbagiri?
[15:39] Yamanbagiri
I'll pass. I'm showing the
newcomer around the Citadel.
[15:44] Uguisumaru
Appreciate you.
[15:48] Fudou
This place is huge.
[15:51] Yamanbagiri
Defending history calls
for many Sword Warriors.
[15:55] Yamanbagiri
We'll have to expand as our numbers grow.
[15:59] Fudou
I see. So this is my new home.
[16:04] Fudou
Manba-chan, Souza.
[16:05] Fudou
I'm a useless sword, but I'll do my best.
[16:11] Yamanbagiri
Useless?
[16:13] Fudou
My master—no, my former master—
[16:18] Fudou
Nobunaga gave me his love,
but I couldn't repay him.
[16:23] Fudou
That makes me a useless sword.
[16:26] Jirou
Huh?
[16:28] Jirou
Is that a newcomer?
[16:29] Fudou
Yeah!
[16:31] Fudou
I'm Fudou Yukimitsu, a sword
owned by Oda Nobunaga.
[16:35] Tarou
Nobunaga?
[16:37] Jirou
Then you're the same as Heshikiri Hasebe.
[16:40] Jirou
Great, you two can reminisce about the past.
[16:44] Fudou
Hasebe?
[16:45] Hasebe
What?
[16:47] Fudou
I don't remember seeing you with Nobunaga.
[16:50] Fudou
Oh, did we just miss each other?
[16:55] Hasebe
I don't care about Nobunaga.
[16:57] Fudou
Huh?
[16:59] Hasebe
Our current master is the only one I serve.
[17:05] Fudou
What's his problem?
[17:28] Yagen
I heard that our newest member was a
sword that belonged to Nobunaga-san.
[17:33] Souza
Yes.
[17:35] Yagen
I hope this doesn't make your dreams worse.
[17:41] Yagen
Nobunaga-san tried to take all
kinds of famed swords for himself.
[17:45] Yagen
It's almost like he wanted to
monopolize all the world's might.
[17:52] Souza
It was the Battle of Okehazama.
[17:55] Souza
Oda Nobunaga, Imagawa Yoshimoto,
[17:58] Souza
and the armies they led clashed
at Okehazama, in Owari.
[18:04] Souza
At the time, I was owned
by Imagawa Yoshimoto.
[18:09] Souza
The Oda army changed into Imagawa's camp
[18:13] Souza
and succeeded in killing their enemy
commander, Imagawa Yoshimoto.
[18:18] Souza
When he was killed,
[18:21] Souza
the demon king took me and branded
me, making me who I am today.
SIGN Oda Owari-no-Kami Nobunaga
[18:27] Souza
After he died, I was passed
on to the Toyotomi clan,
[18:31] Souza
after which the Tokugawa
clan took possession of me.
[18:35] Souza
Did the demon king's modification
of me appeal to them so much?
[18:42] Yagen
I mean, Nobunaga-san personally branded you.
[18:47] Yagen
They must've wanted to preserve
a symbol of the great unifier.
[18:51] Souza
I'm nothing but a caged bird.
[18:55] Souza
Never to be used,
[18:57] Souza
all that was ever asked of me was to exist.
[19:00] Souza
Because of the demon king's branding,
[19:05] Souza
I am...
[19:15] (Flashback) Fudou
That makes me a useless sword.
[19:20] Mutsunokami
Oh, Yamanbagiri.
[19:22] Mutsunokami
There you are!
[19:24] Mutsunokami
Master's callin' for ya!
[19:26] Yamanbagiri
What for?
[19:28] Mutsunokami
Wants ta talk ta you before
dinner, apparently.
[19:38] Mikazuki
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[19:40] Mikazuki
Our master has been expecting you.
[19:47] Yamanbagiri
What is this about?
[19:55] Yamanbagiri
Wh-What do you mean?!
[19:57] Mikazuki
Exactly what you think.
[19:59] Mikazuki
Master believes that our Citadel is in
need of an organizational reshuffle.
[20:05] Yamanbagiri
Okay, but why me?
[20:08] Mikazuki
Master has deemed you suitable for
the job, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[20:13] Mikazuki
The one who will succeed me as the
Citadel's new Attendant Sword
[20:17] Mikazuki
is you.
[20:19] Yamanbagiri
I...
[20:21] Mikazuki
What's the matter?
[20:24] Yamanbagiri
I... I'm a copy.
[20:28] Yamanbagiri
What are you expecting from a mere copy?
[20:31] Mikazuki
The Attendant manages all the swords
in the Citadel for our master.
[20:37] Mikazuki
In other words, he's the Citadel's mainstay.
[20:40] Mikazuki
Master wants to entrust that duty to you.
[20:45] Mikazuki
It won't be your first time, will it?
[20:48] Mikazuki
You were this Citadel's very
first Attendant, after all.
[20:53] Yamanbagiri
Surely both our master and
you remember what happened.
[20:57] Yamanbagiri
I...
[20:59] Yamanbagiri
I...
[21:07] Yamanbagiri
I nearly got my squad wiped out.
[21:10] Yamanbagiri
There's no way I could be Attendant.
[21:13] Saniwa
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[21:16] Saniwa
You are not the same Sword
Warrior you were back then.
[21:22] Mikazuki
There you go. You can handle it.
[21:56] Mikazuki
Now...
[21:58] Mikazuki
I wonder how the story of the Honnoji
Incident will unfold this time.
[22:06] Mikazuki
I cannot wait to find out.

Yes.

Works wonders, apparently!

[02:15] Fudou
Whoa, awesome!
[02:18] Fudou
Is this all gonna be dinner?
[02:20] Kasen
Fudou Yukimitsu. This is your first time
on kitchen duty, is it not?
[02:24] Fudou
Yeah, I never cooked when I was a sword.
[02:30] Kasen
Start by learning how to peel the vegetables.
[02:33] Kasen
Have Sayo teach you the basics.
[02:37] Fudou
Help me out, Sayo Samonji.
[02:48] Yamabushi
Muscles!
[02:50] Yamabushi
More muscles!
[03:00] Yamabushi
You need to build muscle if you wish
to serve as Attendant, brother!
[03:08] Yamabushi
Hasebe-dono.
[03:11] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[03:13] Hasebe
I hear our master appointed you Attendant.
[03:17] Hasebe
First, let me congratulate you.
[03:20] Hasebe
But being Attendant is a big responsibility...
[03:23] Yamanbagiri
What do you think, Hasebe?
[03:25] Hasebe
About what?
[03:27] Yamanbagiri
I really don't think I'm fit
to be Attendant Sword.
[03:32] Yamanbagiri
I'm sure you guys feel the same way.
[03:38] Hasebe
We'll comply with Master's decisions.
[03:44] Hasebe
Follow your orders. So long as Master
has appointed you Attendant,
[03:49] Hasebe
living up to expectations
is the least you can do.
[03:54] Yamabushi
Aye, this too is training.
[03:56] Yamabushi
You can do this, brother. I guarantee it.
[04:00] Doudanuki
Complaining right off the bat isn't gonna help.
[04:02] Doudanuki
If you've got time to think,
you've got time to train.
[04:08] Yamabushi
Why don't you join us, Hasebe-dono?
[04:12] Hasebe
Huh? Uh...
[04:13] Yamabushi
Let us go!
[04:15] Yamabushi
Come, come! Come on, now!
[04:15] Hasebe
Hang on! I never said I'd join!
[04:24] Midare
Let's eat!
[04:29] Jirou
This is some good broth.
[04:30] Tarou
I believe Kasen Kanesada's team
was on kitchen duty today.
[04:35] Fudou
I made the miso soup. Isn't it delicious?
[04:38] Sayo
I did most of the work, though.

Well, it doesn't matter
as long as it fills me up.
[04:56] Tsurumaru
Oh, someone's already here.
[05:07] Tsurumaru
Beautiful moon tonight.
It'd be a waste to sleep through it.
[05:14] Tsurumaru
If you'd told me I'd be sitting here
drinking under the night sky,
[05:18] Tsurumaru
I never would've believed it back then.
[05:21] Tsurumaru
This world is full of surprises.
[05:29] Ookurikara
I'm not here to make friends.
[05:57] Souza
What's happening?
[06:22] Sayo
What's the matter?
[06:23] Souza
Oh, it's nothing.
[06:40] Yagen
From the looks of it,
[06:41] Yagen
you had another bad dream?
[06:44] Souza
Yes...
[06:46] Yagen
Are you okay?
[06:48] Souza
I don't know...
[06:51] Ichigo
You seem pale.
[06:54] Ichigo
Is something bothering you?
[06:59] Ichigo
A dream?
[07:01] Ichigo
I'm just guessing,
[07:04] Ichigo
but that dream may be based on your story.
[07:07] Souza
My... story?
[07:09] Ichigo
Yes. Your story as a sword.
[07:12] Ichigo
Our past memories, and our foundation.
[07:17] Ichigo
Everyone in this Citadel has their own story.
[07:24] Yagen
Hey, what's up?
[07:26] Gokotai
S-Sorry!
[07:27] Gokotai
You were having a serious discussion.
[07:29] Ichigo
It's fine.
[07:34] Ichigo
These tigers are important to Gokotai.
[07:36] Ichigo
And I'm sure they're a part of his story.
[07:40] Ichigo
Just as Gokotai needs his tigers, Souza,
[07:45] Ichigo
your dream may be something
necessary for you.
[07:49] Namezuo
Ichi-nii. We're ready to go.
[07:53] Ichigo
Thank you, Namazuo.
[07:55] Yagen
A mission?
[07:56] Ichigo
Master's orders. We'll be going now.
[08:00] Tsurumaru
Leave this to me.
I'll take point and set the table.
[08:07] Fudou
You going somewhere, Sayo?
[08:10] Fudou
I thought we were going
fishing together today.
[08:13] Sayo
We have a mission.
[08:16] Fudou
A mission?
[08:17] Fudou
Oh, the defending history thing?
[08:20] Fudou
Take me with you.
[08:22] Yamanbagiri
You sober up first.
[08:25] Fudou
Come on, what's the big deal?
[08:28] Yamanbagiri
This isn't fun and games.
[08:31] Yamanbagiri
They're setting off for battle.
SIGN Battle of Okehazama, 1560
[08:36] Yamanbagiri
We Sword Warriors...
[08:37] Urashima
I'm cutting you down!
[08:39] Yamanbagiri
...jump to various places and eras
and fight to defend history.
SIGN Battle of Toba-Fushimi, 1868
[08:44] Yamanbagiri
The historical revisionists
are plotting to alter history.
[08:46] Jirou
Take that!
[08:48] Yamanbagiri
The Time Retrograde Army they control
can appear anytime, anywhere.
[08:52] Aoe
There!
[08:53] Kashu
Come on!
[08:54] Yamanbagiri
We have no idea why they
want to change history.
SIGN Battle of Atsukashiyama, 1189
[08:58] Yamanbagiri
But our master manifested us
to defend that history.
SIGN Ikedaya Incident, 1864
[09:11] Yamangbagiri
As such, defending history
is what makes us who we are.
[09:19] Yamangbagiri
Never forget that.
[09:28] Midare
What's wrong?
[09:30] Fudou
Oh, Midare.
[09:32] Midare
Are you feeling down because
Yamanbagiri-san scolded you?
[09:36] Fudou
That's not it. It's just...
[09:40] Fudou
I still don't really understand
what it means to defend history.
[09:45] Midare
Don't worry.
[09:48] Midare
You'll figure it out eventually.
SIGN The Winter Siege of Osaka, 1614
[09:55] Tokugawasoldier
Good. That hit the main keep.
[09:58] Tokugawasoldier
The Toyotomis must be trembling in fear now.
[10:02] Tokugawasoldier
Who are they?!
[10:09] Shokudaikiri
How's the Time Retrograde Army looking?
[10:12] Tsurumaru
They appear to be attacking
the Tokugawa base camp.
[10:14] Namazuo
Attacking the great Tokugawa Ieyasu?
[10:18] Namazuo
Our enemy sure has some bold ideas.
[10:20] Sayo
It doesn't matter. We'll simply
kill whoever we're up against.
[10:27] Ichigo
Let's go.
[10:31] Namazuo
Say, Ichi-nii.
[10:33] Namazuo
This castle has significant ties
to our former master, right?
[10:39] Ichigo
Yes. We once belonged to
the Toyotomi clan, after all.
[10:44] Namazuo
We were burned to a crisp here.
If we can stop that...
[10:48] Ichigo
Stop it.
[10:50] Ichigo
That would make us the same as the enemy.
[10:59] Namazuo
I get it. I won't look back on the past.
[11:09] Shokudaikiri
It's our moment to shine.
[11:12] Shokudaikiri
Let's make it cool!
[11:14] Sayo
Who do I need to kill?
[11:16] Namazuo
Entering combat.
[11:19] Tsurumaru
The stage is set!
[11:23] Ichigo
I am Ichigo Hitofuri.
[11:25] Ichigo
Here I come!
[11:29] Kousetsu
Is there no path to peace?
[11:38] Kousetsu
Itabeoka Kousetsusai...
[11:41] Kousetsu
I really cannot bring myself to fight here.
[11:47] Sayo
Kousetsu-niisama!
[11:47] Kousetsu
Sayo!
[11:57] Shokudaikiri
Is everyone all right?
[11:59] Ichigo
Yes.
[12:00] Tsurumaru
I'm fine, too.
[12:02] Namazuo
Huh? Where are Kousetsu-san and Sayo-chan?
[12:08] Namazuo
Sayo-chan!
[12:10] Kousetsu
Sayo was wounded trying to protect me.
[12:13] Namazuo
That cut looks deep.
[12:16] Ichigo
Shokudaikiri-san, please tend to Sayo!
[12:28] Ichigo
No need to worry. Sayo will be all right.
[12:40] Ichigo
I reported this to Master.
[12:45] Namazuo
I'm glad the injuries weren't too serious.
[12:49] Kousetsu
Sayo... All because
I wasn't thinking straight...
[12:53] Yamanbagiri
What happened?
[12:56] Kousetsu
That place was where my former
master, Itabeoka Kousetsusai,
[13:00] Kousetsu
worked on peace negotiations
as a retainer of the Toyotomi clan.
[13:05] Kousetsu
I wasn't sure if I could
stain that place with blood.
[13:08] Kousetsu
The Time Retrograde Army
took advantage of my hesitation...
[13:12] Yagen
But Sayo saved you?
[13:15] Kousetsu
Yes. But...
[13:18] Kousetsu
I wish I could've been wounded instead.
[13:24] Hasebe
The more you blame yourself,
the sadder it'll make Sayo.
[13:28] Ichigo
This is my responsibility as captain.
I didn't make the right decisions.
[13:32] Hasebe
No need to apologize.
Our master manifested us to fight.
[13:38] Hasebe
In battle, neither victory
nor safety is guaranteed.
[13:55] Sayo
Revenge... I must have my revenge...
[14:04] Kousetsu
From time to time, the stories
of our past return to torment us.
[14:09] Kousetsu
My former master tried to bring
peace in an era of conflict.
[14:15] Kousetsu
My soul has inherited his will.
[14:21] Kousetsu
Sayo's former owner lost his mother
to bandits as a young child.
[14:31] Kousetsu
He spent years looking for
his mother's killer, found him,
[14:35] Kousetsu
and exacted his revenge.
[14:39] Kousetsu
That thirst for revenge now resides
in Sayo's tiny body with nowhere to go.
[14:45] Souza
I understand that.
[14:47] Souza
But, regardless of our past,
[14:50] Souza
we must fight in order to defend history.
[14:56] Souza
Although it might not sound very convincing
coming from me, a mere decoration.
[15:02] Kousetsu
We are all struggling
with something, aren't we?
[15:06] Kousetsu
You look so agonized.
[15:09] Kousetsu
I won't ask you to smile, but please,
[15:12] Kousetsu
let us try to look like respectful
older brothers, at least in front of Sayo.
[15:21] Fudou
Stories, huh?
[15:30] Yamanbagiri
We will hereby begin our council of war.
[15:34] Yamanbagiri
Or so I'd like to say, but...
[15:36] Yamanbagiri
You!
[15:37] Yamanbagiri
And you!
[15:39] Yamanbagiri
Shape up, will you?
This is an important strategy meeting.
[15:45] Mikazuki
Oh, my tea stalk stood up.
[15:48] Mikazuki
A good omen.
[15:50] Tsurumaru
Nah, when that happens,
[15:52] Tsurumaru
you need to drink the tea without anyone
finding out about it for good luck.
[15:57] Yamanbagiri
Can you take this a bit more seriously?
[15:59] Tsurumaru
I'm as serious as can be.
[16:02] Tsurumaru
But calm and composure is just as important.
[16:06] Hasebe
Please move on.
[16:08] Tsurumaru
First, let's hear about the other day's battle.
[16:12] Ichigo
Sure.
[16:14] Ichigo
When we deployed at the Winter Siege of Osaka,
[16:17] Ichigo
the enemy's main force led a
concentrated attack on Kousetsu.
[16:20] Ichigo
When they cornered him,
Sayo was wounded trying to protect him.
[16:24] Hasebe
That makes no sense.
[16:25] Hasebe
You should've been able to handle the
enemies of that era with no problem.
[16:29] Tsurumaru
We're growing in strength.
The enemy must be responding in kind.
[16:36] Ichigo
So the Time Retrograde Army is growing
stronger through battle, as well?
[16:40] Tsurumaru
From their standpoint, we get in their way
every time they try to alter history.
[16:46] Hasebe
It wouldn't be strange if they started
taking measures to counter us.
[16:51] Doudanuki
That's fine by us.
We'll just grow even stronger.
[16:58] Mikazuki
What do you say, Attendant?
[17:07] Yamanbagiri
We need to investigate the change
in the enemy's capabilities.
[17:12] Yamanbagiri
We'll send expedition teams to various eras—
[17:15] Shokudaikiri
Kept you waiting!
[17:17] Shokudaikiri
I figured tea alone wouldn't be enough,
so I prepared some snacks.
[17:23] Shokudaikiri
Mitsutada's special ohagi, made by yours truly.
[17:27] Shokudaikiri
Now...
[17:28] Shokudaikiri
Eat up.
[17:35] Mikazuki
Yes, this is pretty good.
[17:38] Tsurumaru
That's my Mitsu-boy. He gets hospitality.
[17:42] Hasebe
Take this seriously, you guys.
[17:44] Mikazuki
What's the problem?
[17:46] Mikazuki
Looking all serious isn't going to
help us find a solution right away.
[17:51] Tsurumaru
You really speak my language, Mikazuki.
[17:53] Mikazuki
Why don't you have one?
[17:56] Tsurumaru
If you don't want it,
[17:57] Tsurumaru
I'll take it.
[18:07] Hasebe
Eavesdropping isn't very nice.
[18:12] Fudou
Hic.
[18:14] Yamanbagiri
Are you drunk again?
[18:16] Fudou
Listen.
[18:18] Fudou
If you're going on an expedition,
take me with you.
[18:21] Yamanbagiri
What?
[18:22] Fudou
We can go to any time period we want, right?
[18:24] Fudou
That means I can see Nobunaga again!
[18:31] Shokudaikiri
I don't know about that.
[18:33] Fudou
Come on! Take me with you!
[18:36] Tsurumaru
You'll see Oda Nobunaga, and then what?
[18:40] Fudou
That man treated me very well.
[18:43] Fudou
And yet I couldn't protect him
in his final moments.
[18:49] Fudou
So I...
[18:51] Hasebe
You still don't seem to
understand why we're here.
[18:55] Fudou
Yeah, I don't.
[18:57] Fudou
Why do we need to defend
history in the first place?
[19:01] Fudou
Why did Sayo have to fight and end up hurt?
[19:05] Fudou
I still don't get it.
[19:07] Fudou
And I get the feeling
I won't until I see Nobunaga.
[19:13] Hasebe
What?
[19:15] Fudou
I used to be Oda Nobunaga's sword.
[19:19] Fudou
After his death, I belonged to Mori Ranmaru.
[19:22] Fudou
How will I feel when I see
their history play out?
[19:27] Fudou
Until I know that,
[19:29] Fudou
I don't have the confidence to live
here and fight alongside you all.
[19:34] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[19:36] Hasebe
Give this newcomer a lesson on what it
means to be a member of this Citadel.
[19:42] Hasebe
You know that's part of your job as Attendant.
[19:45] Yamanbagiri
My apologies.
[19:47] Hasebe
I'll be leaving now.
[19:53] Fudou
Nobunaga took care of you, too, didn't he?!
[19:57] Fudou
Hey, get back here!
[20:03] Mikazuki
So much for a strategy meeting.
[20:14] Yamanbagiri
Fudou Yukimitsu.
[20:19] Fudou
What, here to lecture me?
[20:29] Fudou
Want a drink, Manba-chan?
[20:31] Yamanbagiri
No, I'll pass.
[20:39] Fudou
Look, I'm just grateful to Nobunaga
for all the love he gave me.
[20:45] Yamanbagiri
Even if you do see Oda Nobunaga,
you won't get to save him.
[20:49] Yamanbagiri
Because that's a part of history.
[20:52] Fudou
Tell me.
[20:53] Fudou
Why do we need to keep history the way it is?
[20:57] Fudou
Why is that?
[20:59] Mikazuki
Perhaps because we are mere objects.
[21:05] Yamanbagiri
Mikazuki...
[21:07] Mikazuki
Objects exist to be used.
[21:10] Mikazuki
And our master puts us to use.
[21:13] Mikazuki
It just happens to be
that it's to defend history.
[21:17] Fudou
Then what happens if I don't do that?
[21:24] Mikazuki
Well...
[21:26] Mikazuki
In that case...
[21:33] Mikazuki
We'll have to cut you down.
[21:40] Mikazuki
It is only natural that an object that
doesn't fulfill its purpose is disposed of.
[21:52] Mikazuki
But our master doesn't wish for any
of us in this Citadel to meet that fate.
[22:01] Mikazuki
So why don't we spend another
cheerful day defending history?

Still, I don't see why we had to

Wow, this is quite the view.

"Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy,

Oda Nobunaga once sang that poem while
clapping his knees all drunk and happy.
[05:20] Atsushi
Oh?
[05:22] Akita
Your name's in that poem, huh?
[05:25] Fudou
Yeah. He must've really
wanted to brag about me.
[05:30] Fudou
And later, he bestowed me to Mori Ranmaru.
[05:36] Maeda
They say Ranmaru-san was
a close aide of Oda-san's.
[05:40] Fudou
Yeah. Ranmaru was one of Nobunaga's
dearest and most trusted retainers.

You there, quit yawning.

precious memories here.

You know, I'm still very new to this Citadel.

You guys...
[06:12] Hasebe
Sayo Samonji. Are you healthy

Yes. I'd just rot away

[06:18] Hasebe
I see. Glad to hear it.
[06:20] Fudou
Wow, you're a nice guy, Heshikiri.
[06:23] Hasebe
Fudou Yukimitsu. What're you doing,
getting drunk during the day?
[06:27] Hasebe
How do you expect to carry
out your duties like that?
[06:30] Hasebe
Also, "Heshikiri" originates from one of
my former master's violent outbursts.
[06:34] Hasebe
Please refrain from calling me that.
[06:37] Fudou
Former master?
[06:39] Fudou
You mean Nobunaga?
[06:41] Hasebe
Do we have to talk about him again?
[06:44] Namazuo
Uh... You know, Oda Nobunaga
handed Hasebe down to Kuroda Kanbei,
[06:50] Namazuo
so he probably has more
memories of the Kuroda clan!

Huh?

Adding fuel to the fire?

Huh?
[06:59] Namazuo
O-Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to!
[07:02] Fudou
So you were given away to someone
who wasn't even his retainer?
[07:08] Hasebe
Fudou Yukimitsu. Oda Nobunaga
isn't our master now.
[07:13] Hasebe
Let the past go already.
[07:17] Hasebe
What?
[07:18] Fudou
It seems to me that you're the one
who's not able to let it go.
[07:23] Atsushi
Hey, Fudou...
[07:26] Fudou
Serving a new master doesn't mean I'm
gonna pretend my former master didn't exist.
[07:30] Fudou
In my eyes,
[07:32] Fudou
both Nobunaga and our current
master are equally important.
[07:35] Hasebe
Don't put our master in
the same boat as Nobunaga.
[07:38] Hasebe
Nobunaga was a loser who couldn't
see his ambitions to fruition.
[07:45] Fudou
Hey, what did you just say?
[07:47] Hasebe
Did you not hear me?
[07:49] Fudou
I did, which is why I'm asking again.
[07:51] Fudou
How dare you speak of Nobunaga that way?!
[07:54] Namazuo
Hey, cut it out!

You spent time with Nobunaga too, didn't you?!

who showered us with love!
[08:20] Hasebe
Nobunaga this, Nobunaga that!
I'm sick and tired of hearing his name!
[08:25] Hasebe
He wasn't a man worthy of being
the great unifier! That is all!

I told you, knock it off!

Stop fighting!
[08:33] Sayo
Help us stop them, Souza-niisama.

[08:49] Fudou
You take that back right now! Or else!
[08:57] Akita
Souza-san?
[09:05] Souza
Why?
[09:07] Fudou
Souza?
[09:08] Souza
Oh, uh, excuse me.
[09:11] Fudou
Hey, Souza!
[09:12] Sayo
Nii-sama!
[09:20] Yamanbagiri
What's up?
[09:21] Yamanbagiri
Is something wrong?
[09:23] Gokotai
Y-Yamanbagiri-san... Well...
[09:26] Hasebe
Nothing.
[09:27] Hasebe
It's not worth thinking about.
[09:32] Yamanbagiri
What happened?
[09:34] Atsushi
Where do we even begin?
[09:45] Sayo
Nii-sama.
[09:46] Fudou
Souza, hey...
[09:50] Souza
How can I help you?
[09:52] Fudou
I just got mad when he insulted
Nobunaga. I lost my head.
[09:58] Souza
It's not your fault.
[10:00] Fudou
But...
[10:02] Souza
This is my problem, and mine alone.
[10:07] Sayo
Kousetsu-niisama?
[10:11] Kousetsu
Souza, can I ask for your help
tending to the horses?
[10:16] Souza
Huh?
[10:18] Kousetsu
Would you be willing to do that for me?
[10:21] Souza
Sure.
[10:22] Kousetsu
Sayo, Fudou Yukimitsu.
I'd like you two to join, as well.
[10:26] Fudou
Huh? Okay.
[10:28] Sayo
Yeah.
[10:29] Kousetsu
Let's go, then.
[10:34] Yagen
You're not acting like yourself ever since
Fudou Yukimitsu manifested, Hasebe.
[10:43] Yagen
Well, I see where you're coming from.
I once belonged to Oda, too.
[10:48] Yagen
Everything he—Fudou Yukimitsu—says reminds
me of Nobunaga-san, whether I like it or not.
[10:55] Hasebe
That man held us down when alive,
[10:59] Hasebe
and even in death, he refuses to let us go.
[11:05] Hasebe
To this day, Oda Nobunaga
continues to haunt us.
[11:14] Tsurumaru
I see.
[11:15] Tsurumaru
So Hasebe and Fudou Yukimitsu
butted heads over that?
[11:19] Atsushi
Yeah. Ever since Fudou Yukimitsu manifested,
Hasebe hasn't been able to control himself.
[11:24] Shokudaikiri
Neither has Souza-kun.
[11:26] Ichigo
Is Oda Nobunaga the cause?
[11:30] Tsurumaru
Can't think of anything else that could be.
[11:32] Ichigo
Oda Nobunaga...
[11:34] Ichigo
A man who was a huge presence in the
Sengoku period, along with my former masters.
[11:38] Ichigo
Generals nationwide fought for supremacy
in a bid to unite the nation.
[11:44] Ichigo
Meanwhile, we swords came to
be used as more than weapons.
[11:47] Ichigo
We also became symbols
of power and authority.
[11:52] Ichigo
Due to that, many of us have experienced
being passed around from owner to owner.
[11:58] Ichigo
In particular, Souza Samonji, who was
personally branded by Oda Nobunaga,
[12:03] Ichigo
became a symbol of the great unifier
SIGN Oda Owari-no-Kami Nobunaga
[12:05] Ichigo
and was passed down to Toyotomi
Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
[12:09] Ichigo
That proves how much influence
Oda Nobunaga held over the country.
[12:14] Ichigo
It's not ideal that his influence
is still being felt in our Citadel.
[12:19] Shokudaikiri
It looks like they all have complicated
feelings about Oda Nobunaga.
[12:24] Atsushi
Can't we do something, Ichi-nii?
[12:27] Atsushi
If this keeps up, things will stay
awkward between those three.
[12:31] Ichigo
If only there was a good way to
help the Oda swords break the ice...
[12:36] Tsurumaru
Oho? "Break the ice," huh?
[12:41] Shokudaikiri
That look tells me Tsuru-san
has bad intentions in mind.
[13:01] Souza
You're free, I see.
[13:03] Souza
On the other hand, I am but a caged bird.
[13:10] Souza
I suppose I have no right to talk.
[13:13] Souza
I'm one of the people
keeping you locked in here,
[13:17] Souza
when surely you would prefer
to run freely in the wild, too.
[13:21] Kousetsu
I'm done. How about you?
[13:25] Souza
I just finished, too.
[13:28] Kousetsu
Souza, why don't we go
for a ride while we're here?
[13:33] Souza
Huh?
[13:34] Kousetsu
I'm sure the horses would like to
run around a spacious field for once.
[13:38] Kousetsu
What do you say?
[13:41] Souza
Sure.
[13:51] Yamabushi
One more push, all of you!
[13:58] Iwatooshi
This... is nothing!
[14:04] Yamabushi
Iwatooshi-dono.
[14:06] Yamabushi
I refuse to be outdone!
[14:22] Yamabushi
We worked up a good sweat
again today, huh, brother?
[14:26] Yamanbagiri
Right.
[14:28] Yamabushi
If something's bothering you,
I can lend you an ear.
[14:33] Yamanbagiri
Nah, I'm fine.
[14:35] Doudanuki
You certainly don't look like it.
[14:39] Horikawa
Is something wrong, brother?
[14:42] Yamabushi
Is this about the Oda swords?
[14:46] Yamanbagiri
Yeah.
[14:47] Yamabushi
I thought so.
[14:50] Doudanuki
So, what exactly happened?
[14:59] Honebami
Hasebe and Fudou Yukimitsu fought?
[15:02] Horikawa
But over what?
[15:04] Doudanuki
Oda Nobunaga, huh?
[15:06] Yamanbagiri
Yeah.
[15:08] Doudanuki
Things have been awkward with the Oda
swords since Fudou Yukimitsu manifested.
[15:14] Yamanbagiri
I'm sorry.
[15:15] Doudanuki
Huh?
[15:16] Yamabushi
Why do you apologize, brother?
[15:18] Yamanbagiri
This shouldn't have happened on my watch.
[15:21] Honebami
It's not your fault, Yamanbagiri.
[15:23] Yamanbagiri
It is.
[15:25] Yamanbagiri
It shows that I, the Attendant,
haven't managed you as well as I should.
[15:30] Yamabushi
I think you're doing your job just fine.
[15:36] Yamanbagiri
Why did our master make me Attendant?
[15:39] Yamanbagiri
Surely there were other options
far more worthy than me.
[15:43] Doudanuki
No point in thinking about it.
[15:46] Yamanbagiri
I...
[15:49] Yamanbagiri
I failed once already.
[15:52] Yamanbagiri
I nearly got my squad
wiped out on that mission.
SIGN Siege of Odawara, Tensho 18 (1590)
[16:09] (Flashback) Doudanuki
Manba!
[16:11] (Flashback) Yamanbagiri
Is it my fault?
[16:13] (Flashback) Sayo
Yamanbagiri-san!
[16:15] (Flashback) Yamanbagiri
A copy like me never should have
become Attendant. I made this happen.
[16:22] (Flashback) Yamanbagiri
You guys...
[16:24] (Flashback) Hasebe
Time to turn the tables.
[16:28] (Flashback) Yamanbagiri
Move.
[16:30] (Flashback) Doudanuki
Heshi, Manba... That's enough.
[16:32] (Flashback) Doudanuki
This ends here.
[16:34] (Flashback) Hasebe
What are you talking about?
We haven't wiped out the enemy!
[16:38] (Flashback) Yamanbagiri
Yeah! I'm not letting them get
away with hurting my brother!
[16:43] (Flashback) Doudanuki
We've lost.
[16:44] (Flashback) Doudanuki
We lost this battle! Accept that!
[16:47] (Flashback) Honebami
What's more important is that we survive.
[16:49] (Flashback) Honebami
Let's get through this and
return to the Citadel.
[17:06] Yamanbagiri
I... I made a bad decision
and put you all in danger.
[17:13] Yamanbagiri
If Doudanuki hadn't talked sense into me,
I would've led you all to your deaths.
[17:18] Yamanbagiri
I'm not leadership material.
[17:21] Yamanbagiri
That's why I resigned as Attendant.
[17:25] Yamabushi
Brother...
[17:26] Yamanbagiri
So why did our master make me
Attendant Sword once again?
[17:33] Yamabushi
Brother.
[17:35] Yamabushi
Who do you see here in front of you right now?
[17:39] Yamabushi
I am right here, can't you see?
[17:43] Yamabushi
Doudanuki and Honebami are here, too.
[17:47] Yamabushi
So is Hasebe.
[17:50] Yamabushi
Everyone who went into battle
that day is here, alive and well.
[17:54] Yamabushi
And I believe we have you
to thank for that, brother.
[18:00] Iwatooshi
Hold up. It's not just you guys.
[18:03] Imanotsurugi
We're here with you.
[18:05] Shishiou
Nobody in our Citadel thinks you're
not fit to be Attendant, Yamanbagiri.
[18:13] Iwatooshi
We'll support whoever Master
chooses as Attendant as best we can.
[18:18] Doudanuki
Quit trying to carry the load alone.
[18:21] Doudanuki
Or what, do you not trust us, Manba?
[18:25] Honebami
As if, right?
[18:27] Horikawa
Right!
[18:31] Mikazuki
Looks like it's time to come
to terms with it, Yamanbagiri.
[18:34] Yamanbagiri
Mikazuki?
[18:36] Mikazuki
You heard what our master said.
[18:38] Mikazuki
"You are not the same Sword Warrior
you were back then."
[18:43] Mikazuki
That is exactly why you have been
chosen to be Attendant once again.
[18:48] Mikazuki
Don't you think your job now is to prove
that our master made the right decision?
[19:08] Yamanbagiri
Yeah, you're right.
[19:11] Yamanbagiri
Guys, what do you think we should do
about the Oda swords situation?
[19:16] Horikawa
There's gotta be a way.
[19:19] Doudanuki
I doubt just talking it out will fix it, though.
[19:24] Shokudaikiri
Yeah, we've got to help them out somehow.
[19:27] Horikawa
Shokudaikiri-san!
[19:29] Ichigo
We've been trying to come up
with a good solution, too.
[19:34] Shishiou
Figure anything out?
[19:36] Tsurumaru
Of course we did.
[19:38] Tsurumaru
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro,
[19:41] Tsurumaru
I have a proposal for you.
[19:44] Yamanbagiri
A proposal?
[19:52] Souza
Beautiful.
[19:53] Kousetsu
It is.
[19:56] Kousetsu
Do you feel a little better now?
[19:59] Souza
Kousetsu-niisama.
[20:02] Souza
I'm sorry you had to do all this for me.
[20:05] Kousetsu
There's no need to apologize.
[20:08] Kousetsu
For now, let's allow this view to
heal our hearts for a little while.
[20:16] Nakigitsune
Oh, dear! Oh, my!
[20:18] Shishiou
This is gonna be great. Just watch.
[20:21] Yamatonokami
Say, Izuminokami.
[20:22] Yamatonokami
Do you know why we've been summoned here?
[20:24] Izuminokami
Nah, I haven't heard anything.
[20:27] Fox
What have they gathered us all in the dojo for?
[20:35] Mikazuki
Sorry to keep you all waiting.
[20:39] Izuminokami
What's happening here?
[20:42] Mikazuki
All yours, Attendant.
[20:44] Yamanbagiri
Yeah.
[20:56] Yamanbagiri
We will hereby hold a session
of combat training.
[20:59] Mutsunokami
Combat?
[21:00] Kasen
Well, I don't think we could have
sparring matches with these numbers.
[21:05] Yamanbagiri
We're not going to spar.
[21:07] All
What?
[21:09] Yamabushi
They all sound surprised.
[21:12] Tsurumaru
Well, the big surprise is still to come.
[21:19] Hasebe
I can't believe our master would agree to this.
[21:22] Hasebe
No, stay focused. I have to
carry out my master's will.
[21:39] Hasebe
You need to be quicker with your ambushes.
You won't defeat me like that.
[21:44] Ichigo
That was just our way of saying hello.
[21:46] Shokudaikiri
Now, Hasebe-kun, get ready to go full-tilt!
[21:50] Hasebe
Who even came up with this idea?
[21:52] Hasebe
Actual battle training, fighting
fellow Citadel members? Ridiculous!
[21:58] (Flashback) Tsurumaru
That's right.
[22:00] (Flashback) Tsurumaru
I propose a free-for-all
combat training exercise
[22:02] (Flashback) Tsurumaru
pitting four teams against one another.
[22:05] (Flashback) Yamanbagiri
In other words... a no-holds-barred battle!

[00:01] Namazuo
A combat training exercise with four teams?
[00:04] Tonbokiri
Why four teams?
[00:06] Otegine
What does that mean?
[00:08] Maeda
Um, is this going to be different
from our usual sparring sessions?
[00:13] Yamanbagiri
Yeah.
[00:14] Yamanbagiri
Our usual sparring sessions are one-on-one,
[00:18] Yamanbagiri
but this four-team session will be
held under real battle conditions.
[00:22] Hachisuka
Real battle conditions?
[00:25] Mutsunokami
Hey, that sounds fun.
[00:27] Yamanbagiri
You'll be split into four teams of six
[00:31] Yamanbagiri
and fight one another all at the same time.
[00:33] Kashu
Do you have Master's permission for this?
[00:36] Yamanbagiri
Yeah. We got approval.
[00:39] Hasebe
If you wanted to run a combat exercise,
[00:41] Hasebe
you could've easily asked another
Citadel to have a mock battle with us.
[00:48] Yamanbagiri
That wouldn't serve our purpose.
[00:50] Yamanbagiri
By competing in battle,
you'll get to know your teammates,
[00:54] Yamanbagiri
get to know yourself, improve one another,
[00:57] Yamanbagiri
and strengthen your bonds.
[00:58] Yamanbagiri
That's what this exercise aims to do.
[01:00] Yagen
That makes sense. Okay, understood.
[01:03] Yagen
Now, what are the teams?
[01:05] Yamanbagiri
I will now announce the team lineups.
[01:09] Tsurumaru
This is where the big surprises start.

Hold back, okay? This is training, after all.
SIGN Team Four
Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki, Izuminokami Kanesada,
Yamatonokami Yasusada, Hachisuka Kotetsu, Jiroutachi, Taroutachi

[03:38] Yamanbagiri
Hachisuka Kotetsu,
[03:41] Yamanbagiri
Jiroutachi, and Taroutachi.
[03:43] Jiroutachi
So I just gotta go wild, right?
[03:45] Hasebe
I object!
[03:47] Yamanbagiri
What's the problem?
[03:48] Hasebe
What is with these lineups?!
[03:51] Yamanbagiri
They were decided
with a fair drawing of lots.
[03:53] Hasebe
How am I supposed to fight with that team?!
[03:57] Mikazuki
Oh? So, Heshikiri Hasebe, do you mean to say
you won't follow our master's orders?
[04:01] Hasebe
What?
[04:03] Mikazuki
Master has approved these team lineups, too.
[04:07] Mikazuki
Do you have an issue with that?
[04:09] Hasebe
I-I don't.
[04:13] Mikazuki
I'm glad you understand.
[04:16] Yamanbagiri
This exercise will begin at noon tomorrow.
[04:20] Yamanbagiri
Dismissed.
[04:26] Yagen
Well, looks like we have
to go through with this.
[04:36] Kashuu
Someone's motivated.
[04:38] Mutsunokami
An exercise under real battle conditions?
It's just what we need!
[04:42] Kasen
I hope tomorrow's exercise patches
things up between the Oda swords.
[04:48] Mutsunokami
Oh! So that really is
the reason behind all this.
[04:53] Kashuu
Sure hope it works out.
[04:55] Hachisuka
Anyway, it's big news that Yamanbagiri
Kunihiro's been appointed Attendant again.
[05:01] Kashuu
Well, he was the first sword
to manifest in this Citadel.
[05:05] Kashuu
We can't have him sulking forever.
[05:07] Mutsunokami
Okay! Time ta do some swings
and prepare for t'morrow!
[05:10] Kashuu
Have fun. We're going to bed.
[05:12] Mutsunokami
H-Hey!
[05:19] Otegine
Looking forward to how this goes.
[05:20] Tonbokiri
Yeah.
[05:24] Midare
All right, it's time for the four-team,
free-for-all combat training exercise!
[05:29] Midare
Here at this special stage
in the Citadel's courtyard,
[05:32] Midare
we hope to bring you this
heated battle, live and up next.
[05:35] Midare
I'm Midare Toushirou, and I'll
be handling the play-by-play.
[05:38] Midare
And...
[05:40] Midare
On color commentary, we have
Ishikirimaru-san and Nikkari Aoe-san!
[05:44] Aoe
Glad to be here.
[05:45] Ishikirimaru
Are you sure you want me doing this?
[05:46] Midare
Very sure! Glad to have you here!
[05:49] Aizen
They're really pumped up for this.
[05:51] Akita
Right?
[05:53] Gokotai
I don't know which team to cheer for...
[05:57] Maeda
Just root for all of them to do their best.
[05:59] Midare
Konnosuke, you're up!
[06:09] Midare
We have placed a few dozen Konnosukes
in various locations across the forest.
[06:13] Midare
We'll be bringing you the battles
they see live and in color.
[06:20] Midare
It looks like Yamanbagiri-san is explaining
this exercise to the participants.
[06:26] Yamanbagiri
You'll disperse into the forest,
[06:28] Yamanbagiri
and the moment you run into an
opponent, you'll engage in combat.
[06:31] Yamanbagiri
You win if you render your opponent immobile
[06:33] Yamanbagiri
or make them surrender.
[06:35] Yamanbagiri
You have until sunset.
[06:38] Yamanbagiri
The team with the most surviving
members will win this exercise.
[06:41] Midare
What do you think the highlight will be?
[06:44] Ishikirimaru
I would say the tag-team battles,
which will call for perfect teamwork.
[06:47] Aoe
I'm looking forward to seeing
how they use the terrain, as well.
[06:50] Midare
All right, everyone!
[06:52] Midare
Are you excited for the heated battles to come?
[06:56] Yamabushi
This is a chance to test ourselves, brother!
[06:58] Horikawa
Yeah, let's do our best.
[07:00] Shokudaikiri
Tsuru-san, you look like you're having fun.
[07:03] Tsurumaru
Well, duh. I'm going to
enjoy this to the fullest.
[07:08] Hasebe
I want you to know this.
[07:09] Fudou
What?
[07:11] Hasebe
Don't hold us back.
[07:13] Fudou
Huh?
[07:14] Yagen
Hey, stop that.
[07:16] Midare
The time has come!
[07:18] Midare
The curtains are about
to open on the battle!
[07:25] Fudou
"Don't hold us back"? Right back at you.
[07:29] Yagen
This is not the time to be squabbling, you two.
[07:32] Yamanbagiri
What are you doing?
The exercise is already underway.
[07:37] Fudou
Hmph!
[07:44] Midare
Can you believe it?
[07:45] Midare
They're so fast,
Konnosuke's eyes can't keep up!
[07:51] Namazuo
Yeah, you really are fast.
[07:53] Honebami
No holding back from either of us, brother.
[07:57] Namazuo
Of course!
[07:59] Aizen
Yeah!
[08:01] Ishikirimaru
This is a battle of speed.
[08:04] Aoe
The forest has lots of footholds,
[08:06] Aoe
so it favors multidimensional attacks.
[08:09] Ishikirmaru
Yeah. I couldn't hope to fight like that.
[08:11] Midare
Right, right.
[08:14] Midare
Oh, there's another encounter!
[08:17] Midare
They're about to enter battle!
[08:19] Yamatonokami
It's hard to go all-out when
we're fighting our friends.
[08:22] Izuminokami
Come on. This exercise
takes that into account.
[08:26] Izuminokami
We just gotta do what we can!
[08:28] Yamabushi
How do we attack Izuminokami-dono, brother?
[08:32] Horikawa
I'll engage Kane-san in close quarters.
[08:34] Yamabushi
So you plan to take away his reach advantage.
[08:37] Horikawa
Here I go!
[08:39] Yamatonokami
Come on, come on!
[08:48] Ishikirimaru
We can clearly see the difference in
fighting style between these two teams.
[08:52] Ishikirimaru
Izuminokami and Yamatonokami
are both attackers.
[08:57] Ishikirimaru
But with Yamabushi and Horikawa,
one attacks while the other intercepts.
[09:02] Ishikirimaru
They're opposites,
which makes this so interesting.
[09:05] Midare
Whoa, we have another fierce battle unfolding!
[09:12] Doudakuni
If I'd been slower to react,
my head would've gone flying.
[09:15] Jiroutachi
Don't be silly.
[09:16] Jiroutachi
This is training. I wouldn't do that to you.
[09:19] Jiroutachi
But I'm still gonna go wild!
[09:25] Jiroutachi
There!
[09:26] Doudanuki
Tch, your blade's too big!
[09:29] Aoe
A wise choice.
[09:31] Aoe
Taking those blows head-on would
put too much stress on his blade.
[09:34] Ishikirimaru
Yeah, he's deflecting them well.
[09:41] Jiroutachi
Well, here's an even bigger blade.
[09:44] Taroutachi
Here I come.
[09:46] Doudanuki
Bring it on!
[09:56] Jiroutachi
Whew, scary.
[09:59] Doudanuki
Don't underestimate the toughness
of a sword forged in battle!
[10:03] All
Way to go!
[10:06] Midare
Oh, boy!
[10:08] Midare
We've got two more encounters!
At the same time!
[10:11] Midare
Who is it this time?
[10:13] Midare
Now this is one exciting pair!
[10:18] Kashu
I didn't expect to come up against you.
[10:21] Mutsunokami
A worthy opponent!
[10:24] Kasen
We're both proud art pieces.
Come at me with all you've got.
[10:29] Hachisuka
Yes. This will be an all-out battle.
[11:17] Aizen
Hey, what's going on?
[11:21] Midare
No! Konnosuke!
[11:25] Mikazuka
Oho? Are you by yourself?
[11:28] Yamanbagiri
Mikazuki.
[11:30] Yamanbagiri
Will this really work out?
[11:33] Yamanbagiri
Putting them on the same team...
[11:38] Yamanbagiri
Hey, what was that for?
[11:40] Mikazuki
I thought we were to engage in battle
the moment we encountered a foe.
[11:45] Yamanbagiri
Stop it, Mikazuki!
[11:48] Mikazuki
This is a battle.
[11:49] Mikazuki
The Oda swords will have to find
their own path through combat.
[11:57] Mikazuki
And that goes for you and me, as well.
[12:03] Tsurumaru
So you're my opponent, Sayo-boy.
[12:09] Sayo
Do you have anyone you want to get revenge on?
[12:13] Tsurumaru
Not revenge, no.
[12:15] Tsurumaru
But I do have a target I want to surprise.
[12:19] Tsurumaru
It's the heavens.
[12:20] Tsurumaru
Now that I've taken this form,
[12:22] Tsurumaru
I want to do something that shocks the heavens.
[12:35] Tsurumaru
Take this!
[12:40] Tsurumaru
One-on-two, eh?
[12:42] Kousetsu
I hate fighting, but I will fight to protect.
[12:47] Tsurumaru
Well, this isn't ideal.
[13:01] Hasebe
I apologize for the other day.
[13:06] Souza
Hasebe.
[13:07] Souza
I want to ask you something...
[13:11] Souza
about the Nobunaga within you.
[13:14] Hasebe
The Nobunaga within me?
[13:18] Souza
Who do you think Oda Nobunaga really was?
[13:28] Ichigo
Stay on your toes, you two.
[13:31] Ichigo
Training or not, we're in the middle of a battle!
[13:44] Hasebe
Shokudaikiri!
[13:46] Shokudaikiri
Am I interrupting?
[13:50] Namazuo
That's...
[13:51] Honebami
Brother.
[13:52] Honebami
Temporary ceasefire. We're helping Ichi-nii.
[13:56] Namazuo
Aren't you on a different team?
[13:59] Honebami
Hasebe and Souza come first.
[14:01] Namazuo
Okay, got it!
[14:06] Hasebe
This is getting complicated.
[14:08] Souza
Hasebe, I leave those two to you.
[14:12] Hasebe
Sure.
[14:29] Hasebe
You need to be quicker with your ambushes.
You won't defeat me like that.
[14:33] Ichigo
That was just our way of saying hello.
[14:36] Shokudaikiri
Now, Hasebe-kun, get ready to go full-tilt!
[14:40] Hasebe
Who even came up with this idea?
[14:43] Hasebe
Actual battle training, fighting fellow
Citadel members? Ridiculous!
[14:57] Ichigo
You're good.
[14:59] Shokudaikiri
But we still have the numerical advantage.
[15:03] Yagen
How about I make it three-on-four, then?
[15:06] Souza
Yagen.
[15:07] Yagen
Well...
[15:09] Yagen
We're still at a disadvantage, though.
[15:11] Hasebe
Let's go!
[15:15] Mikazuki
What's the matter, Yamanbagiri?
Why aren't you attacking?
[15:20] Yamanbagiri
Wasn't this exercise for patching
things up between the Oda swords?!
[15:24] Mikazuki
Then you can simply cut
me down and go do that.
[15:27] Yamanbagiri
What?
[15:29] Mikazuki
Feel free to attack as you please.
[15:41] Hachisuka
Aww, he dodged it.
[15:43] Kasen
I told you not to bother
with a surprise attack.
[15:46] Yamanbagiri
Fighting together with
members of other teams?
[15:48] Kasen
This tactic improves our chances of victory.
[15:51] Hachisuka
In a free-for-all, it's standard practice
to defeat the strongest foes first.
[15:56] Hachisuka
Care to join us, Mikazuki Munechika?
[16:00] Hachisuka
No, I shall team up with Yamanbagiri.
[16:03] Yamanbagiri
Huh?
[16:05] Mikazuki
"In a free-for-all, it's standard practice
to defeat the strongest foes first," no?
[16:10] Mikazuki
Kasen Kanesada and Hachisuka Kotetsu
are both formidable opponents.
[16:15] Kasen
What an honor.
[16:16] Hachisuka
All right. Let's do this.
[16:21] Shokudaikiri
I know you've got more than this, Hasebe-kun!
[16:24] Hasebe
Of course I do!
[16:30] Fudou
Crap, I missed.
[16:32] Hasebe
Stay out of this!
[16:33] Fudou
I'll help you out!
[16:34] Fudou
Now it's four-on-four!
[16:37] Yagen
Hey!
[16:38] Fudou
You guys used to be Toyotomi
and Date swords, right?
[16:42] Fudou
That means we can't lose.
[16:44] Fudou
Mitsuhide ruined his dream,
[16:47] Fudou
but I'll prove that Nobunaga
was the real great unifier!
[16:52] Yagen
What are you doing? Work as a team!
[16:54] Fudou
I can handle these scrubs myself—
[16:57] Hasebe
Who could ever work together with this punk?
[17:01] Fudou
You're just jealous because
you weren't Nobunaga's favorite.
[17:06] Ichigo
Stop that, newcomer.
We're in the middle of an exercise.
[17:10] Fudou
But I'm not like you.
[17:12] Fudou
I bet our current master will
come to love me just as much.
[17:16] Hasebe
Nobunaga was a terrible judge
if he chose to call you his favorite.
[17:22] Shokudaikiri
Calm down, Hasebe-kun.
[17:25] Hasebe
It was the same with Mitsuhide!
[17:27] Hasebe
Nobunaga employed the kind of man
who would rebel against his lord.
[17:30] Hasebe
And look what happened!
He was betrayed and killed!
[17:34] Fudou
I don't care what you say about me! But...
[17:37] Fudou
Don't insult Nobunaga!
[17:39] Fudou
I love him with all my heart.
[17:43] Fudou
Is it so wrong to feel that way?!
[17:47] Fudou
What did he do to deserve this?!
[17:48] Fudou
What the hell were you guys looking at
when you were with Oda Nobunaga?!
[17:59] Souza
Nobunaga...
[18:06] Yagen
Souza?! Hey!
[18:08] Yagen
Souza!
[18:14] Tsurumaru
So the operation to patch things up failed.
[18:17] Mikazuki
Indeed. It seems their conflict runs deep.
[18:27] Sayo
How's Souza-niisama?
[18:29] Yagen
Don't worry. He wasn't injured.
[18:32] Yagen
He'll be fine with time.
[18:35] Kousetsu
Let him have his rest for now.
[18:48] Mikazuka
Care for a drink?
[18:57] Yamanbagiri
I thought things might change
if they fought together,
[19:04] Yamanbagiri
but it's not so easy.
[19:07] Mikazuki
Indeed.
[19:08] Yamanbagiri
Emotions are truly a nuisance.
[19:12] Yamanbagiri
Seeing the Oda swords
really drove it home for me.
[19:16] Yamanbagiri
If we didn't have emotions,
we wouldn't be so easily swayed by them.
[19:21] Mikazuki
Well, I believe that perhaps we have
emotions because we are objects.
[19:29] Yamanbagiri
What do you mean?
[19:32] Mikazuki
What do you feel when you look up at the moon?
[19:38] Yamanbagiri
It's beautiful.
[19:42] Mikazuki
That feeling will take root in the moon.
[19:46] Mikazuki
Your emotion has traveled from your heart
[19:50] Mikazuki
all the way to the moon there, you see?
[19:54] Mikazuki
And it may come back to you one day.
[19:59] Yamanbagiri
Come back?
[20:02] Mikazuki
Emotions traverse through all creation.
[20:05] Mikazuki
The Oda swords and you have
inherited wills and emotions,
[20:10] Mikazuki
and those emotions are
what link everything together.
[20:15] Mikazuki
Should the moon ever manifest here,
[20:18] Mikazuki
I'm sure it would be truly beautiful.
[20:24] Yamanbagiri
Say, Mikazuki.
[20:26] Yamanbagiri
What should I do as Attendant?
[20:29] Yamanbagiri
What can I do?
[20:32] Mikazuki
In actuality, the moon has a rocky,
mountainous surface.
[20:35] Mikazuki
It does not, and cannot,
look like that of its own free will.
[20:40] Mikazuki
Only when the rays of the sun shine
upon it does it gain such beauty.
[20:46] Mikazuki
All you need do is trust yourself
[20:48] Mikazuki
and shine upon our rocky Citadel
with the rays of your heart.
[20:54] Mikazuki
Just as the sun shines upon the moon.
[21:04] Mikazuki
What did our master say?
[21:05] Yamanbagiri
We have orders to sortie.
[21:07] Tsurumaru
Figures.
[21:09] Yamanbagiri
I'll lead a squad including myself, Mikazuki,
[21:13] Yamanbagiri
Heshikiri Hasebe,
[21:14] Yamanbagiri
Souza Samonji,
[21:16] Yamanbagiri
Yagen Toushirou,
[21:18] Yamanbagiri
and Fudou Yukimitsu.
[21:20] Tsurumaru
Oho? And where are you going?
[21:24] Yamanbagiri
The Honnoji Incident.
[21:26] Mikazuki
Oda Nobunaga, who was one step
away from unifying the nation,
[21:30] Mikazuki
was killed by his retainer, Akechi Mitsuhide,
in an event of huge historical magnitude.
[21:34] Tsurumaru
I can't believe we're sending them on
a mission involving their former master.
[21:39] Mikazuki
Master must have deemed it unavoidable.
[21:45] Mikazuki
If they are to grow,
[21:48] Mikazuki
they must face up to Oda Nobunaga's story.
[21:58] Yamanbagiri
Our master has ordered us to sortie.
[22:02] Yamanbagiri
Our destination...
[22:04] Yamanbagiri
Honnoji Temple in Taisho 10, 1582.

[00:06] Mitsuhide
What's the matter, Ranmaru-dono?
[00:10] Ranmaru
Mitsuhide-sama.
[00:12] Mitsuhide
Forgive me. I had to ask,
since you seemed so forlorn.
[00:18] Ranmaru
Oh, dear. It appears you
caught me lost in thought.
[00:21] Mitsuhide
Is there something worrying you?
[00:25] Ranmaru
Well...
[00:26] Mitsuhide
Hmm?
[00:27] Ranmaru
Milord bestowed this sword to me.
[00:33] Mitsuhide
Is that... Fudou Yukimitsu?
[00:46] Ranmaru
What's the matter?
[00:50] Mitsuhide
"Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy,
[00:53] Mitsuhide
and Niwa Nagahide, all three are mine!"
[00:57] Mitsuhide
When our lord is drinking in a jolly mood,
[01:00] Mitsuhide
he often smacks his knees
[01:02] Mitsuhide
and recites that poem out loud.
[01:04] Mitsuhide
That sword is a treasure equal to any land.
[01:08] Toshimitsu
But why would our lord give it to Ranmaru-dono?
[01:13] Yukimasa
It is far too valuable for a mere boy to wield.
[01:16] Mitsuhide
It simply means our lord treasures
Mori Ranmaru above all.
[01:24] Mitsuhide
What's wrong?
[01:25] Mitsuhide
Are you displeased?
[01:27] Ranmaru
It just feels almost like milord
is giving me a keepsake.
[01:31] Ranmaru
I'm getting a bad feeling in my stomach.
[01:35] Mitsuhide
What are you saying?
Our lord is alive and well.
[01:39] Mitsuhide
That sword is no keepsake.
Cherish it for the rest of your life.
[01:44] Mitsuhide
Now, we have matters to attend to. Farewell.
[01:55] Ranmaru
"Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy,

and Niwa Nagahide, all three are mine!"

Reunions and Conflicts
[03:50] Yamanbagiri
Nobunaga's holding a tea party
the day before the Honnoji Incident,
[03:55] Yamanbagiri
not knowing that he is fated to die tomorrow.
[03:58] Yamanbagiri
How carefree.
[04:00] Mikazuki
Nobunaga was a famed collector of the arts.
[04:04] Mikazuki
There are stories that say he was lured
to Honnoji using a famous tea instrument.
[04:09] Mikazuki
These are but theories, though.
[04:13] Yamanbagiri
This tea party lines up with historical fact.
[04:15] Yamanbagiri
We haven't confirmed any
Time Retrograde Army interference.
[04:19] Mikazuki
Perhaps they are targeting
Akechi Mitsuhide, then.
[04:23] Yamanbagiri
It's too early to say.
[04:25] Yamanbagiri
I hope Hasebe and the others
can give us more information.
SIGN Tanba-Kameyama Castle
[04:33] Yagen
Looks like the Akechi troops
are gathered in Kameyama Castle.
[04:37] Yagen
They seem ready to fight at any moment.
[04:41] Hasebe
Most of the men here
[04:43] Hasebe
believe they're headed to provide
backup at Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle.
[04:47] Hasebe
They don't have the faintest idea that
they're about to go kill Oda Nobunaga.
[04:52] Yagen
That's how secretive the
whole operation was, I guess.
[04:56] Hasebe
No signs of the Time Retrograde Army
targeting this place.
[04:59] Yagen
In that case, we should regroup
with Yamanbagiri and the others.
[05:04] Fudou
Are we really gonna find any enemies
by searching around here?
[05:08] Souza
We aren't only on the lookout
for the Time Retrograde Army.
[05:11] Souza
Signs of altered history can show
up in various shapes and sizes.
[05:15] Fudou
Listen...
[05:16] Fudou
I think I probably passed through Kyoto
here back when I was a sword.
[05:22] Fudou
With Nobunaga and Ranmaru, I mean.
[05:25] Fudou
What is this feeling?
[05:27] Souza
Is it nostalgia?
[05:30] Fudou
Yes, that's it!
[05:32] Fudou
I'm filled with nostalgia right now.
[05:36] Fudou
Are you feeling nostalgic, too?
[05:38] Souza
Huh?
[05:39] Fudou
I'm sure you spent time in
the Kyoto of this era, too.
[05:44] Souza
So what if I did?
[05:47] Fudou
It's just... nostalgia is a strange feeling.
[05:52] Fudou
It comes with both joy and
sorrow at the same time.
[05:57] Fudou
Say, Souza.
[05:59] Fudou
Could we go meet him?
[06:01] Souza
Meet whom?
[06:03] Fudou
Nobunaga.
[06:05] Fudou
All I want is to get a good look at his face...
[06:07] Souza
You mustn't.
[06:08] Fudou
Please! All I need is one moment!
[06:11] Souza
We're on a mission right now.
[06:13] Souza
Mixing work and private matters
is simply unacceptable.
[06:17] Townsfolk1
What's going on?
[06:18] Townsfolk2
A fight's broken out!
[06:24] Townsfolk3
Damn it... How dare you?!
[06:25] Souza
Just focus on our mission right... now...
[06:33] Souza
Fudou Yukimitsu...
[06:38] Hasebe
They're late.
[06:39] Hasebe
It's long past the appointed time.
[06:42] Yamanbagiri
I understand a slight delay,
but this is strange.
[06:44] Yagen
Do you think they encountered
the enemy during their search?
[06:48] Mikazuki
Don't worry. Souza Samonji
won't go down that easily.
[06:54] Hasebe
At this point, an enemy
encounter might be better.
[06:56] Hasebe
I just hope Fudou Yukimitsu
isn't causing trouble again.
[07:00] Yamanbagiri
Change of plans.
[07:02] Yamanbagiri
We are now going to search for
Souza Samonji and Fudou Yukimitsu.
[07:09] Fudou
Huh?
[07:10] Fudou
Where the heck is Honnoji Temple?
[07:12] Souza
Fudou Yukimitsu!
[07:14] Fudou
Souza!
[07:16] Souza
Letting me catch you proves that
you still have a long way to go.
[07:20] Fudou
Perfect timing.
[07:21] Fudou
I don't know the way to Honnoji Temple.
[07:24] Fudou
Could you come with—
[07:25] Souza
Enough is enough!
[07:28] Souza
Even if you meet Oda Nobunaga,
you will not be allowed to alter history.
[07:33] Fudou
I wasn't planning on it.
[07:36] Souza
Then why do you want to see him?
[07:38] Fudou
Again, like I said... you know...
[07:42] Souza
Fudou Yukimitsu.
[07:44] Souza
We are here to defend history.
[07:47] Souza
And that's...
[07:49] Souza
a history where Oda Nobunaga
is killed at Honnoji.
[07:55] Fudou
You're lucky, Souza.
[07:57] Souza
Huh?
[07:59] Fudou
I was bestowed to Ranmaru,
[08:01] Fudou
but you got to stay by Nobunaga's
side until the very end.
[08:04] Fudou
He even branded you,
[08:06] Fudou
which goes to show how much
he loved you, right?
[08:09] Fudou
He gave you so much love,
and you were with him the entire time...
[08:13] Fudou
So why couldn't you help Nobunaga?
[08:17] Fudou
Why couldn't you keep him safe?!
[08:21] Souza
I...
[08:22] Souza
I don't remember if I saw
any battle in Honnoji that day.
[08:29] Fudou
Huh?
[08:31] Souza
Swords are objects.
[08:32] Souza
And objects only serve their purpose
when they are put to use.
[08:37] Souza
But I...
[08:39] Souza
I was forever a caged bird.
[08:43] Fudou
Souza...
[08:46] Souza
What's the matter?
[08:49] Souza
What is it?
[08:51] Fudou
Souza Samonji was a beautiful sword.
[08:54] Souza
Huh?
[08:56] Fudou
Maybe Nobunaga...
[08:58] Fudou
Maybe he didn't use you because he didn't
want to stain your beauty with blood.
[09:05] Fudou
Meanwhile, I'm just a useless sword.
[09:08] Fudou
And it makes me feel even more useless
when I see amazing swords like you.
[09:14] Fudou
That's why I...
[09:16] Fudou
Wh-What was that for? I don't think
I said anything to make you that mad!
[09:19] Souza
That isn't why.
[09:23] Fudou
What's that?
[09:24] Souza
The Time Retrograde Army!
[09:32] Souza
Fudou Yukimitsu!
[09:40] Hasebe
So you really did encounter the enemy.
[09:42] Fudou
I didn't ask for your help!
[09:44] Hasebe
Don't get the wrong idea.
I'm not doing this for you.
[09:46] Hasebe
I'm merely following Master's orders
and taking out our enemy.
[09:50] Yagen
Really gets the blood boiling.
[10:01] Fudou
Not so fast!
[10:02] Hasebe
Don't chase them!
[10:04] Hasebe
Damn it.
[10:06] Hasebe
Souza and I will handle this.
[10:08] Hasebe
Yagen, you go after Fudou Yukimitsu.
[10:10] Yagen
Okay, I've got you!
[10:16] Fudou
Hold it!
[10:18] Fudou
There you are!
[10:31] Fudou
Crap!

[10:54] Yagen
There's no end to them.

Halt!
[10:59] Ranmaru
It is the height of cowardice
to gang up on someone!
[11:02] Ranmaru
I, Mori Ranmaru, shall put an end to this!
[11:05] Fudou
Ranmaru?!
[11:15] Yagen
Why here? Why now?
[11:17] Yagen
Why Mori Ranmaru?
[11:21] Ranmaru
What's wrong? I'll take you on.
[11:24] Ranmaru
Come at me!
[11:27] Fudou
What the...
[11:34] Hasebe
That is weird.
[11:35] Hasebe
They just retreated without
fulfilling their objective.
[11:38] Souza
That said, I'm glad you're all right.
[11:41] Yagen
Yeah, somehow.
[11:45] Ranmaru
Are you unhurt?
[11:52] Ranmaru
Who were those strange-looking fellows?
[11:56] Ranmaru
That said, you all are dressed
quite peculiarly yourselves.
[12:02] Fudou
Ranmaru!
[12:08] Ranmaru
What is it?
[12:10] Fudou
It's been too long!
[12:11] Ranmaru
Huh?
[12:12] Fudou
It's me, can't you tell?
[12:14] Fudou
Nobunaga handed me over to you! I'm Fudou—
[12:18] Yagen
That's enough.
[12:22] Yagen
I apologize for my friend's behavior.
[12:25] Hasebe
We'll take our leave now.
[12:27] Souza
Thank you.
[12:29] Fudou
Hey, wait! What are you doing?!
[12:29] Hasebe
All right, off we go. Stop struggling.
[12:32] Fudou
Lemme go! Let me go!
[12:34] Ranmaru
One moment, please!
[12:38] Ranmaru
You there.
[12:40] Ranmaru
You appear to be wounded.
[12:42] Yagen
Oh, this?
[12:44] Yagen
It's fine. This doesn't count as an injury.
[12:47] Ranmaru
No, you mustn't make light of a sword cut.
[12:50] Ranmaru
Should it worsen,
it may even put your life at risk.
[12:54] Yagen
Again, it's not that big a deal.
[12:57] Ranmaru
It is.
[12:58] Ranmaru
I am not so cruel as to
abandon a wounded fellow.
[13:02] Yagen
No, but...
[13:04] Ranmaru
I have a room in Honnoji Temple,
where we are stationed.
[13:08] Ranmaru
I shall tend to you there.
[13:17] Yamanbagiri
Find them?
[13:19] Mikazuki
No, there's no sign of them,
so I was enjoying the sights of Kyoto.
[13:24] Yamanbagiri
Souza's better than this.
[13:28] Yamanbagiri
Fudou Yukimitsu must've
done something stupid.
[13:31] Mikazuki
That was accounted for
when this squad was chosen.
[13:35] Mikazuki
Unless they reconcile
with Fudou Yukimitsu,
[13:38] Mikazuki
the Oda swords cannot fight to defend
history alongside him in our Citadel.
[13:44] Mikazuki
That must be the conclusion
our master has reached.
[13:47] Yamanbagiri
Talk about ripping the bandages off.
[13:54] Mikazuki
Who is that?
[13:56] Yamanbagiri
One of Oda Nobunaga's retainers...
[13:58] Yamanbagiri
Yasuke.
[14:00] Mikazuki
Ah, so that's him.
[14:03] Yamanbagiri
On the mission during which my entire
squad was nearly wiped out...
[14:07] Yamanbagiri
The one who conspired with the
Time Retrograde Army to alter history
[14:12] Yamanbagiri
was Yasuke.
[14:14] Yamanbagiri
His goal was to avenge the Honnoji Incident.
[14:18] Mikazuki
I believe he went missing after the incident
and was later found serving the Kuroda.
[14:25] Mikazuki
So, in this time period,
he's blissfully unaware.
[14:33] Yasuke
Do you need me for something?
[14:36] Yasuke
You have been staring at me
with murder in your eyes.
[14:42] Mikazuki
Oh, he simply has a scary look
on his face all the time.
[14:46] Mikazuki
He's often misunderstood.
[14:49] Mikazuki
We apologize if he caused you displeasure.
[14:55] Yamanbagiri
Thanks.
[14:57] Mikazuki
No, I believe you would've stopped
yourself had I not stepped in.
[15:02] Mikazuki
After all, Yasuke is a part
of the Honnoji Incident.
[15:08] Mikazuki
If you killed him here,
you would alter history.
[15:14] Mikazuki
All that aside, we must
find Souza and Fudou at once.
[15:18] Yamanbagiri
Hasebe and the others may
have found them already.
[15:21] Yamanbagiri
Let's return to the meetup point.
[15:28] Ranmaru
That should take care of it for the time being.
[15:31] Yagen
I appreciate the first aid.
[15:34] Yagen
I'll have to undergo repairs
either way, though.
[15:37] Ranmaru
What?
[15:38] Yagen
Nothing, never mind.
[15:40] Yagen
Thanks, uh...
[15:44] Ranmaru
I'm Mori Ranmaru, retainer to the Oda.
[15:49] Ranmaru
I was in town to buy some things for milord
[15:52] Ranmaru
when I saw you being attacked by those
strange-looking fellows and joined the fray.
[15:58] Hasebe
We appreciate you helping out
total strangers like us.
[16:02] Souza
But why would you go so far for us?
[16:05] Ranmaru
As I said, it wouldn't be right
to abandon the wounded.
[16:10] Yagen
Did you not stop to consider
that we may be your enemies?
[16:15] Ranmaru
I don't quite understand it myself,
[16:19] Ranmaru
but I could not think of you as strangers.
[16:23] Fudou
Huh?
[16:25] Ranmaru
It's true. I felt as though it wasn't
my first time meeting you.
[16:29] Ranmaru
I felt a strange sense of familiarity with you.
[16:33] Ranmaru
Perhaps I simply did not want to
say goodbye in that manner.
[16:37] Souza
Familiarity, you say?
[16:40] Ranmaru
Yes. I've had that feeling before.
[16:44] Ranmaru
It was...
[16:48] Ranmaru
Right. It was with Mitsuhide-sama.
[16:52] Ranmaru
Akechi Hyuga-no-Kami Mitsuhide-sama.
You're the same as him.
[16:56] Hasebe
In what way?
[16:59] Ranmaru
Hmm... What, indeed?
[17:01] Ranmaru
Maybe your undying love for milord.
[17:06] Hasebe
Wha—
[17:07] Ranmaru
Do you happen to serve a retainer of the Oda?
[17:13] Yagen
No, uh, well...
[17:15] Yagen
We're simply traveling martial artists.
We have nothing to do with the Oda clan.
[17:19] Hasebe
We just happened to stop by Kyoto
in passing. Nothing more, nothing less.
[17:25] Ranmaru
Is that so? My apologies for presuming.
[17:28] Yagen
Don't worry about it.
[17:30] Fudou
Listen, Ranmaru. I...
[17:32] Hasebe
Well, the wound has been treated.
No reason for us to stay any longer.
[17:36] Yagen
Yeah, we should get going.
[17:39] Fudou
But we got to meet Ranmaru!
[17:43] Hasebe
You should thank him, too.
[17:50] Fudou
Thanks, Ranmaru. Be well.
[17:53] Ranmaru
Of course. I wish you all the best, too.
[17:56] Hasebe
Goodbye, then.
[18:01] Souza
Mori Ranmaru.
[18:04] Souza
What is Oda Nobunaga to you?
[18:09] Ranmaru
Huh?
[18:11] Yagen
Hey, Souza...
[18:12] Hasebe
Let's go.
[18:18] Ranmaru
Wait.
[18:20] Ranmaru
I feel as though we will meet again.
[18:25] Fudou
Yeah, let's meet again for sure.
[18:32] Ranmaru
"What is Oda Nobunaga," huh?
[18:40] Yagen
Never expected to run into
Mori Ranmaru, of all people.
[18:44] Hasebe
I hope our interaction doesn't
affect history in any way.
[18:48] Souza
I'm sorry. It's all because we
thoughtlessly engaged the enemy.
[18:53] Fudou
No, it's not Souza's fault.
[18:56] Fudou
It's all because I ran off on my own.
[19:01] Yagen
Well, what's done is done.
[19:04] Yagen
But man, it bothers me.
[19:06] Souza
What does?
[19:08] Yagen
The Time Retrograde Army's actions.
[19:09] Yagen
Once Ranmaru joined the fight,
they retreated without doing anything.
[19:14] Yagen
Something about that feels off to me.
[19:17] Hasebe
Mori Ranmaru is a vital player
in the Honnoji Incident.
[19:21] Hasebe
If they didn't plan on approaching him,
[19:23] Hasebe
that must mean their target
is on Akechi's side, not Oda's.
[19:26] Yagen
That, or they're planning something else.
[19:33] Mikazuki
Good. You're all safe.
[19:35] Fudou
Hey... Sorry, Manba-chan.
[19:38] Fudou
I acted alone and put everyone in danger.
[19:43] Fudou
I really am a useless sword.
[19:48] Yamanbagiri
You and I are alike.
[20:06] (Flashback) Yamanbagiri
What are you expecting from a mere copy?
[20:13] Yamanbagiri
I'm Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[20:16] Yamanbagiri
The sword made at the order of
Nagao Akinaga, the lord of Ashikaga Castle.
[20:20] Yamanbagiri
As a copy of Yamanbagiri.
[20:23] Yamanbagiri
I'm not a fake, though.
[20:27] Yamanbagiri
I am the best masterpiece of Kunihiro,
and I'm proud to say it.
[20:32] Yamanbagiri
But I kept calling myself a mere copy,
maybe in a bid to escape my responsibilities.
[20:40] Yamanbagiri
I will do my job as the Attendant Sword.
[20:44] Yamanbagiri
So...
[20:46] Yamanbagiri
You try to get rid of your
"useless" label, too.
[20:50] Fudou
Manba-chan...
[20:52] Yamanbagiri
Let's go.
[20:56] Hasebe
We must figure out what is about
to happen in this time period.
[21:01] Yagen
Once this night is past,
the Honnoji Incident will commence.
[21:04] Yagen
No matter what the enemy does,
we have to defend that history.
[21:09] Yamanbagiri
At the break of dawn tomorrow,
[21:12] Yamanbagiri
Akechi Mitsuhide's army will
lay siege to Honnoji Temple.
[21:16] Yamanbagiri
Mori Ranmaru will be defeated,
[21:19] Yamanbagiri
and Oda Nobunaga will be driven to suicide.
[21:22] Ranmaru
"Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy..."
[21:26] Ranmaru
Milord.
[21:31] Mikazuki
Yes. An act of rebellion so great that
it went down in the history books
[21:35] Mikazuki
as the Honnoji Incident.
[21:38] Mikazuki
We must ensure that it happens as recorded.
[21:45] Ranmaru
Who's there?!
[21:47] Ranmaru
You're the ones from before...
[21:49] Ranmaru
You knaves!
[21:56] Ranmaru
What are you doing?
[21:57] Ranmaru
Let me go... Unhand me!

[00:37] General
No wonder our lord chose them to put on a show.
[00:40] General 2
This is very impressive!
[00:50] Ranmaru
Mitsuhide-sama.
[00:53] Mitsuhide
Oh, if it isn't Ranmaru.
[00:55] Ranmaru
I didn't know you were here.
[00:58] Mitsuhide
Our lord summoned me
to entertain a court noble.
[01:02] Ranmaru
Is that so?
[01:04] Mitsuhide
How beautiful is the camellia in late bloom.
[01:09] Mitsuhide
Unlike you, I am old and
won't live for much longer.
[01:14] Mitsuhide
But I hope I can make
flowers bloom in the afterlife.
[01:17] Ranmaru
Camellia...
[01:19] Ranmaru
These flowers are said to be
a bad omen for warriors,
[01:23] Ranmaru
for the way they fall
reminds one of a beheading.
[01:28] Ranmaru
I can't say I'm too fond of them, either.
[01:32] Mitsuhide
A flower bears no sin.
[01:35] Ranmaru
Indeed. But they do put
bad thoughts in my mind.
[01:40] Ranmaru
Like something sad is about to happen...
[01:44] Mitsuhide
Is something the matter?
[01:47] Ranmaru
No, nothing. I shall take my leave now.
[02:03] Mitsuhide
Oda Nobunaga, whose head will it be?
[02:07] Mitsuhide
Will it be my head that falls,
or will it be yours?

[03:47] Mutsunokami
Nothing beats coolin' down with
the evening breeze right after a bath.
[03:50] Kasen
Yes. It is truly tasteful.
[03:53] Kashu
It's not too bad, yeah.
[03:55] Kasen
The sky is so grand.
[03:57] Kasen
No matter how many eras came and went,
[04:00] Kasen
people could never change the form
the sky takes day after day.
[04:05] Kashu
Maybe the sky has watched history
being written from above.
[04:09] Hachisuka
I wonder if Hasebe's squad is all right.
[04:12] Mutsunokami
Ah, yeah. They've headed off on a
mission that's awfully cruel ta them.
[04:19] Hachisuka
The Honnoji Incident, huh?
[04:21] Mutsunokami
Gah! I haven't the foggiest idea
what Master was thinkin'!
[04:26] Kashu
Say...
[04:27] Kashu
You think we'll be sent on missions with
Sakamoto Ryoma or the Shinsengumi, too?
[04:33] Mutsunokami
Who knows? That's for our master ta decide.
[04:38] Kasen
We all bear our own stories.
[04:42] Kasen
As you have your stories with
Sakamoto Ryoma or the Shinsengumi,
[04:47] Kasen
Hachisuka has one with the Hachisukas,
[04:50] Kasen
and I have mine with the Hosokowas.
[04:53] Kasen
Shokudaikiri Mitsutada and Ookurikara
have theirs with Date Masamune.
[05:00] Kasen
Our stories are tied to the history books,
and we fight to defend that history.
[05:07] Kasen
If that's the case, then maybe
we can't avoid facing our stories.
[05:13] Mutsunokami
You may be right.
[05:16] Hachisuka
I'm sure a time will come when we all
have to face off with our own stories.
[05:22] Hachisuka
If that is what Master wants, it will happen.
[05:25] Kashu
Well, I'm ready for that to happen.
[05:29] Kashu
Always have been, always will be.
[05:53] Yagen
The Honnoji Incident is about to begin.
[05:55] Hasebe
The Akechi army has
Honnoji Temple surrounded.
[05:58] Hasebe
Oda and his followers have
nowhere to run now.
[06:02] Hasebe
Soon, a battle cry will sound out,
and the attack will begin.
[06:07] Souza
Yes.
[06:08] Yagen
Why do you think Master
sent us on this mission?
[06:13] Hasebe
It doesn't matter. They're Master's orders,
and we mustn't question them.
[06:19] Hasebe
We're here to carry out our mission,
and that's what we'll do.
[06:24] Yagen
I figured you'd say that.
[06:28] Hasebe
Probably as a message, telling us
to come to terms with it.
[06:31] Souza
Huh?
[06:32] Hasebe
We have to come to terms
with Oda Nobunaga's story.
[06:39] Souza
For me...
[06:40] Souza
When that so-called Demon King Oda Nobunaga
defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto at Okehazama,
[06:46] Souza
he took me as spoils of war.
[06:48] Souza
I stayed with him as
Oda Nobunaga's sword thereafter,
[06:52] Souza
and I burned here in Honnoji.
[06:55] Souza
If I close my eyes,
I see a nightmare of flames.
[06:58] Souza
So long as this brand remains on my chest,
I can never escape this nightmare.
[07:02] Yagen
You know, I don't feel too negatively
about Nobunaga-san.
[07:07] Souza
Yagen?
[07:08] Yagen
I can't say I hated him.
[07:10] Yagen
But I also don't know if I liked him.
[07:13] Yagen
What I do know is that
I want to understand him.
[07:16] Souza
Understand him, you say?
[07:19] Yagen
I want to understand what kind
of man Oda Nobunaga really was.
[07:24] Yagen
The Fool of Owari,
the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven,
[07:28] Yagen
the Conqueror, the Great Unifier...
[07:30] Yagen
People gave him all kinds of monikers.
[07:34] Yagen
He was respected, feared, loved, and despised.
[07:40] Yagen
Nothing about him gives us a glimpse
into who he was deep inside.
[07:46] Yagen
But you know what?
[07:48] Yagen
I think they were all part of what
made Oda Nobunaga who he was.
[07:54] Yagen
We all have different sides, too.
[07:57] Yagen
We do farm work, and we eat.
[08:00] Yagen
We fight battles, and we wrestle
with our thoughts, just like now.
[08:03] Yagen
I feel like he was probably the same.
[08:06] Yagen
There's no way we can sum
that all up in one sentence.
[08:11] Souza
To me, that man was...
[08:19] Yamanbagiri
What are you doing there?
[08:22] Fudou
Nothing, really.
[08:25] Yamanbagiri
If you have something to say,
go out there and say it.
[08:28] Yamanbagiri
You were an Oda sword just like them.
[08:32] Fudou
I'm not strong like Heshikiri and Yagen.
[08:36] Fudou
I was beloved as a sword,
but not as much as Souza.
[08:40] Fudou
I really am a useless sword.
[08:43] Fudou
That's why I can't stay this way.
[08:47] Fudou
Manba-chan, I'll fight to defend history, too.
[08:52] Fudou
I'll help make sure the Honnoji Incident
occurs just like it did in history.
[08:56] Yamanbagiri
Yeah, that's the way.
[08:59] Mikazuki
The time is upon us.
[09:03] Hasebe
So it's starting.
[09:05] Yamanbagiri
Yeah.
[09:12] Yamanbagiri
It's the Honnoji Incident.
[09:43] Mitsuhide
Our enemy lies in Honnoji! To battle!
[09:48] Toshimitsu
Inform all troops to commence battle!
[09:50] Retainer
Sir!
[10:01] Ranmaru
Is this...
[10:06] Ranmaru
Milord!
[10:18] Akechisoldiers
What the...
[10:19] Akechisoldiers
What's going on?
[10:21] Akechisoldiers
This almost seems to be an ayakashi's doing!
[10:27] Akechisoldiers
These fiends...
[10:29] Akechisoldiers
Monsters!
[10:34] Hasebe
Settle down. There's nothing we can do.
[10:38] Yagen
About historical fact, that is.
[10:41] Hasebe
But if anyone seeks to alter it,
we must move to defend it.
[10:46] Fudou
I decided to fight to defend history.
[10:51] Fudou
But... now that I see this
unfolding before me...
[10:55] Fudou
Heshikiri, don't you...
[10:57] Fudou
Don't you care what happens to Nobunaga?!
[11:01] Hasebe
I don't, no. Unlike you,
I was a sword he discarded.
[11:05] Hasebe
So I think this serves him right, even.
[11:09] Hasebe
A human life is but a flash
in the overall scale of history.
[11:13] Hasebe
All life is bound to die someday,
[11:15] Hasebe
and Oda Nobunaga was no exception. That's all.
[11:18] Fudou
Still, I...
[11:19] Hasebe
Don't get emotional.
[11:21] Hasebe
Oda Nobunaga will die here,
[11:24] Hasebe
and we have to ensure it happens.
[11:33] Yamanbagiri
This is no time to be standing around chatting.
[11:36] Hasebe
Fudou Yukimitsu.
[11:37] Hasebe
If you won't fulfill your duty
as a Sword Warrior,
[11:42] Hasebe
leave this place now.
[11:46] Yamanbagiri
Let's go.
[11:47] Mikazuki
Yes, let's. To put an end
to Oda Nobunaga's history.
[11:57] Fudou
The heck am I supposed to do?!
[12:06] Akechisoldier
You're mine!
[12:10] Yasuke
Ranmaru-sama!
[12:14] Ranmaru
Is Mitsuhide-sama staging a rebellion?
[12:17] Yasuke
Why would he do that?
[12:20] Ranmaru
I don't know. And...
[12:23] Ranmaru
This isn't the Honnoji Temple I know.
[12:26] Yasuke
What is happening?
[12:28] Akechisoldier
There they are!
[12:29] Yasuke
Ranmaru-sama.
[12:30] Ranmaru
I'll handle things here. You take on
the foes there, Yasuke-dono.
[12:34] Yasuke
Si, signore!
[12:36] Ranmaru
I am not letting you through to milord!
[12:41] Ranmaru
Curses!
[12:43] Akechisoldier
Prepare to die.
[13:01] Ranmaru
It's you...
[13:10] Ranmaru
Why do you help me?
[13:13] Yasuda
Oh? He has some terribly grotesque men.
[13:16] Yasuda
I suppose he's not called
the demon king for nothing!
[13:33] Ranmaru
No!
[13:36] Ranmaru
I can't die yet!
[13:40] Ranmaru
I must protect milord...
I must protect Nobunaga-sama!
[13:50] Yasuda
How could this be?
[13:58] Yasuda
You walking corpse!
[14:15] Yasuda
Have you ceased to be human?
[14:23] Ranmaru
I will... keep milord safe.
[14:40] Yagen
Hey, you okay?
[14:42] Akechisoldier
Who are you people?
[14:44] Hasebi
Looks like Honnoji Temple has
turned into a cursed labyrinth.
[14:49] Mikazuki
Our foes are trying every trick in the book.
[14:52] Yamanbagiri
Stop being impressed. Let's hurry.
[14:57] Akechisoldier
Who were those guys?
[15:03] Souza
That's...
[15:04] Akechisoldier
Yasuda-sama!
[15:06] Akechisoldier
He's still breathing! Take him outside!
[15:08] Akechisoldier
Right!
[15:10] Yamanbagiri
One of Akechi's generals, Yasuda Kunitsugu.
[15:13] Yagen
The warrior who historically
killed Mori Ranmaru...
[15:17] Yagen
and yet he's down and out already.
[15:19] Hasebe
History is starting to get twisted.
[15:22] Mikazuki
Is the Time Retrograde Army counting on
Mori Ranmaru to save Oda Nobunaga?
[15:30] Fudou
Nobunaga!
[15:32] Fudou
Ranmaru!
[15:33] Fudou
Where are you?!
[15:35] Fudou
Hey, where are you?
[15:39] Fudou
Ranmaru... Ranmaru... I...
[15:53] Fudou
I finally found you.
[15:57] Ranmaru
Why are you here?
[16:03] Fudou
Ranmaru!
[16:06] Hasebe
Wait.
[16:07] Fudou
Heshikiri?
[16:09] Souza
Something's wrong.
[16:11] Yagen
Yeah.
[16:23] Ranmaru
Well, it doesn't matter.
[16:27] Ranmaru
Whoever comes after milord's
life has to go through me.
[16:40] Souza
That form...
[16:42] Yagen
He looks like one of the Time Retrograde Army.
[16:48] Fudou
Ranmaru!
[16:52] Fudou
Move, Souza!
[16:54] Souza
You mustn't! According to history,
[16:57] Souza
Mori Ranmaru should already be dead!
[16:59] Souza
What you see there is not Mori Ranmaru!
[17:03] Fudou
But...
[17:04] Hasebe
It's a monster possessed by
the Time Retrograde Army.
[17:07] Fudou
Stop it!
[17:09] Yagen
Hey, we don't have time to be arguing.
[17:15] Yamanbagiri
The Time Retrograde Army...
[17:17] Ranmaru
Oh, so you are our enemies.
[17:21] Ranmaru
In that case, in order to protect milord,
[17:25] Ranmaru
I must have your heads!
[17:27] Yamanbagiri
Don't bunch up. Disperse!
[17:39] Yasuke
Who are you?
[17:41] Yasuke
I see.
[17:43] Yasuke
You wish to protect Nobunaga-sama, too,
[17:47] Yasuke
our dark friends?
[18:00] Fudou
No! Stop it, Ranmaru!
[18:03] Fudou
I don't want to fight you!
[18:15] Fudou
Ranmaru?
[18:16] Ranmaru
I won't let milord die. I will protect him.
[18:22] Fudou
No, Ranmaru!
[18:23] Fudou
Tend to your wounds, or you'll die!
[18:26] Ranmaru
Out of my way!
[18:28] Fudou
Cut it out!
[18:29] Fudou
I don't want to fight you!
[18:32] Ranmaru
Quiet!
[18:32] Fudou
I don't want to see you die!
[18:35] Fudou
You and I are comrades,
both beloved by Nobunaga!
[18:40] Fudou
That's why I...
[18:44] Ranmaru
I must go to milord...
[18:47] Fudou
Ranmaru!
[18:56] Yamanbagiri
The enemy has possessed
Mori Ranmaru in a bid to alter history.
[19:00] Hasebe
They want him to kill Akechi Mitsuhide and
keep Oda Nobunaga alive beyond Honnoji?
[19:06] Souza
Then we must stop Mori Ranmaru.
[19:09] Yagen
Hey, check it out.
[19:14] Yagen
Looks like we hit the bullseye.
[19:17] Mikazuki
Then fight we shall.
[19:23] Fudou
Ranmaru!
[19:24] Hasebe
Fudou Yukimitsu!
[19:26] Yagen
When will he learn?
[19:28] Yamanbagiri
Souza, we'll take care of this.
[19:31] Yamanbagiri
Go after Fudou.
[19:32] Souza
Right!
[19:37] Ranmaru
Milord...
[19:44] Akechiretainer
Wh-What the?!
[19:46] Akechiretainer
Foul monster!
[19:54] Mitsuhide
Are you... Ranmaru-dono?
[20:00] Ranmaru
Mitsuhide-sama.
[20:03] Ranmaru
Why would you start a rebellion?
[20:05] Mitsuhide
To see my cause to fruition.
[20:08] Ranmaru
What cause could this
madness possibly serve?
[20:11] Mitsuhide
Ranmaru, why do you fight for
our lord in such a wretched state?
[20:17] Ranmaru
Because that is my duty.
[20:22] Mitsuhide
"Duty," eh?
[20:24] Mitsuhide
Just as you fight out of fealty,
I fight for my cause.
[20:33] Mitsuhide
Move, Ranmaru.
[20:35] Mitsuhide
I must have his head.
[20:38] Ranmaru
Why would you want to kill him?
What did he do to deserve this?
[20:42] Mitsuhide
Let me ask you, then.
[20:44] Mitsuhide
Why do you try to protect him with your life?
[20:48] Mitsuhide
What has you show such loyalty to him?!
[20:53] Mitsuhide
Ranmaru...
[20:55] Mitsuhide
I ask you, what kind of man
is Oda Nobunaga to you?
[20:58] Mitsuhide
Who is Oda Nobunaga?
[21:08] Fudou
Ranmaru!
[21:18] Souza
Mori Ranmaru.
[21:20] Souza
You were already meant
to be dead by this point.
[21:24] Ranmaru
And yet I still live!
[21:27] Souza
That isn't what the history books want!
[21:34] Kasen
Since we swords were part
of many historical events,
[21:39] Kasen
they form our stories, as well.
[21:42] Kasen
And part of that is always
our former masters' downfalls.
[21:47] Hachisuka
Yes. Some passed away peacefully,
[21:50] Hachisuka
while others died in the midst
of pursuing their dreams.
[21:54] Mutsunokami
And regardless, we were brought
here ta defend history.
[21:59] Kashu
Yeah, which is why we'll do just that.
[22:03] Kashu
Even if that history is
nothing but pain and misery.

[01:05] Yamanbagiri
Go. Run away from this place and survive.
[01:15] Yamanbagiri
The Honnoji Incident...
[01:17] Yamanbagiri
Some are fated to die here,
while others must survive.
[01:22] Yamanbagiri
Oda Nobunaga is one who has to die.
[01:26] Yamanbagiri

Then I deem you...

Out of my way.

According to history, Mori Ranmaru
should already have been killed in action.
[04:28] Yagen

[07:06] (Flashback) Ranmaru
Oh, dear. It appears you
caught me lost in thought.
[07:10] (Flashback) Ranmaru
Well...
[07:11] (Flashback) Ranmaru
Milord bestowed this sword to me.
[07:14] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
Is that... Fudou Yukimitsu?
[07:18] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
That sword is no keepsake.
Cherish it for the rest of your life.
[07:23] (Flashback) Ranmaru
"Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy,
[07:27] (Flashback) Ranmaru
and Niwa Nagahide, all three are mine!"

That's why I'll... I will...

[08:12] Fudou
You need treatment.
[08:14] Ranmaru
I must go.
[08:17] Ranmaru
I must protect milord...
I must protect Oda Nobunaga-sama.
[08:21] Fudou
You need treatment, now!
[08:24] Ranmaru
Let me go!
[08:36] Ranmaru
Honnoji Temple... is in flames...
[08:40] Ranmaru
This can't be... It can't be happening.
[08:45] Ranmaru
Mitsuhide-sama would never start a rebellion.
[08:50] Ranmaru
Nobunaga-sama cannot die here.
[08:55] Ranmaru
No... this must be a bad dream. It has to be.
[09:01] (Flashback) Ranmaru
Mitsuhide-sama.
[09:02] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
Forgive me. I had to ask,
since you seemed so forlorn.
[09:08] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
It simply means our lord treasures
Mori Ranmaru above all.
[09:14] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
Unlike you, I am old and
won't live for much longer.
[09:18] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
But I hope I can make
flowers bloom in the afterlife.
[09:21] (Flashback) Ranmaru
Why would you start a rebellion?
[09:23] (Flashback) Ranmaru
What cause could this
madness possibly serve?
[09:26] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
Let me ask you, then.
[09:28] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
Why do you try to protect him with your life?
[09:32] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
What has you show such loyalty to him?!
[09:37] Ranmaru
I'm aware.
[09:39] Ranmaru
This is no bad dream. It's reality.
[09:42] Ranmaru
Mitsuhide-sama is rebelling,
and milord's life is in danger.
[09:47] Ranmaru
And yet, there is nothing I can do.
[09:53] Ranmaru
Do it.
[09:56] Ranmaru
Kill me. Is that not why you're here?
[10:02] Fudou
I could never do that!
[10:05] Fudou
I could never kill a man who
loved a sword as useless as me!
[10:16] Ranmaru
Then I shall kill you instead.
[10:31] Ranmaru
Die.

Yeah. You treated me back then.

I must protect milord...
[13:04] (Flashback) Ranmaru
I don't care what happens to me
as long as I can save him.
[13:11] (Flashback) Ranmaru
I shall gladly offer up my own life.
[13:15] (Flashback) Ranmaru
So please...
[13:20] Hasebe
What is this?
[13:22] Yagen
Yeesh. They're pulling out all the stops.
[13:26] Yamanbagiri

[13:40] Yamanbagiri

Thanks.
[13:52] Mikazuki
Now, what do we do about this?
[14:27] Hasebe
Attack him all at once!
Fudou Yukimitsu, you fight, too!
[14:32] Hasebe
Hey! Are you listening?!
[14:36] Fudou
I decided to defend history as a Sword Warrior.
[14:39] Fudou
To do that, I thought I had
to come to terms with it...
[14:44] Fudou
Come to terms with Ranmaru
and Nobunaga's history. But...
[14:48] Fudou
Ranmaru's trying to protect Nobunaga,
no matter what it takes.
[14:53] Fudou
I can't cut him down just
because that's our mission.
[14:57] Fudou
I failed on that fateful day in Honnoji.
[15:01] Fudou
Souza, Hasebe, and Yagen, you guys failed, too.
[15:04] Fudou
But Ranmaru's trying to do what we couldn't!
[15:08] Fudou
He's trying to save Nobunaga!
[15:14] Fudou
Stop it! I don't want to fight you!
[15:19] Ranmaru
Shut up!
[15:23] Souza
Mori Ranmaru, you should already be dead.
[15:29] Ranmaru
What are you talking about? I still live...
[15:34] Ranmaru
I am alive and well right here!
[15:37] Souza
That isn't what the history books want!
[15:44] Fudou
Screw history!
[15:47] Fudou
Do you really think it's more important
than the people you love?!
[15:50] Fudou
Is it more important than Ranmaru and
Nobunaga, who treated us with love and care?!
[15:56] Fudou
Don't we have a choice that
isn't accepting this bullcrap?
[16:01] Fudou
That's just too cruel!
[16:03] Hasebe
Mori Ranmaru is not meant
to be alive at this point.
[16:09] Hasebe
He must die.
[16:16] Fudou
Ranmaru.
[16:17] Fudou
Let's get this over with
and go see Nobunaga, yeah?
[16:27] Yamanbagiri
Fudou!
[16:29] Hasebe
Not only is he no help,
he's actively working against us!
[16:35] Ranmaru
I must protect milord...
[16:39] Yagen
Take this!
[16:46] Fudou
No...
[16:49] Fudou
Don't!
[16:51] Yamanbagiri
Now, Souza!
[16:55] Ranmaru
Souza? Souza Samonji?
[17:00] Ranmaru
I see. You're milord's sword...
[17:09] Ranmaru
Why? You are his sword...
[17:14] Ranmaru
So why do you stop me?
[17:16] Ranmaru
I simply wish to keep our lord safe...
[17:34] Yagen
Souza...
[17:42] Ranmaru
You asked me a question when we last met.
[17:47] (Flashback) Ranmaru
I wish you all the best, too.
[17:49] (Flashback) Hasebe
Goodbye, then.
[17:54] (Flashback) Souza
Mori Ranmaru.
[17:57] (Flashback) Souza
What is Oda Nobunaga to you?
[18:02] (Flashback) Ranmaru
Huh?
[18:09] Ranmaru
What is Oda Nobunaga to me?
[18:13] Ranmaru
As one born to a family under his patronage,
[18:17] Ranmaru
he is my lord.
[18:20] Ranmaru
That is why... I must protect him...
[18:28] Ranmaru
But in truth, such formalities
never mattered to me.
[18:32] Ranmaru
My family and my duty were irrelevant.
[18:36] Ranmaru
I simply loved Oda Nobunaga as a person.
[18:43] Ranmaru
That is why... I wished to be his shield.
[18:51] Ranmaru
But I see now that my wish will not come true.
[18:54] Ranmaru
You all have come here with
a duty to fulfill, have you not?
[19:01] Ranmaru
Then forget me, and do as you must.
[19:06] Ranmaru
As we are all here for a purpose.
[19:12] (Flashback) Fudou
Yeah, let's meet again for sure.
[19:19] Fudou
Ranmaru...
[19:27] Mitsuhide
Oda's followers?
[19:31] Mitsuhide
Where is Oda Nobunaga?
[19:33] Mitsuhide
My army has Honnoji Temple surrounded.
There is nowhere to run.
[19:39] Odaretainer
I don't know.
[19:40] Odaretainer
Even if I did, I would never do you
the pleasure of telling you.
[19:50] Mitsuhide
Where is he?
[19:51] Mitsuhide
Where are you, Nobunaga?
[20:01] Mitsuhide
How bizarre.
[20:02] Mitsuhide
Is this camellia?
[20:05] Mitsuhide
A flower disdained by warriors, for the way
they fall reminds one of a beheading.
[20:13] Mitsuhide
O Camellia... Who do you bloom for?
[20:29] Yamanbagiri
Hold it. Where are you going?
[20:31] Fudou
Sorry, Manba-chan. I don't think my
"useless" label is going anywhere.
[20:39] Mikazuki
I believe I warned you.
[20:41] Mikazuki
If you refuse to defend history,
[20:44] Mikazuki
we'll have to cut you down.
[20:48] Mikazuki
Will you still go?
[20:50] Fudou
Yeah, I'm going.
[20:52] Hasebe
Are you disobeying our master's orders?
[20:56] Fudou
Heshikiri... Apologize to our master for me.
[21:00] Hasebe
If you intend to alter history,
[21:04] Hasebe
you'll be turning against us, you know that?!
[21:10] Yagen
Fudou!
[21:12] Yamanbagiri
That idiot!
[21:24] Hasebe
Souza Samonji.
[21:30] Yagen
We should go, too.
[21:36] Hasebe
Where are you going?
[21:38] Souza
You were right, Hasebe.
[21:40] Souza
The Demon King continues
to haunt us to this day.
[21:43] Souza
His will still shackles me, you, Yagen...
[21:48] Souza
And Fudou.
[21:50] Souza
There is no escape for us.
[21:53] Yagen
So let's say there is no escape.
What can we do?
[22:02] Souza
If we can't escape it,
[22:06] Souza
then we have no choice but to face up to it!

Should you choose to cut Mitsuhide
down and alter history now,
[06:11] Souza
it would mean rejecting the lives
Ranmaru and Nobunaga led.
[06:17] Hasebe
Fudou Yukimitsu!
[06:19] Souza
Please wait!
[06:21] Souza
Fudou Yukimitsu.
[06:23] Souza
Just as Nobunaga means a lot to you
[06:26] Souza
and means a lot to me,
[06:29] Souza
he also means something to Mitsuhide.
[06:33] Souza
And that something...
is an entity he must kill here.
[06:39] Souza
The Honnoji Incident is the final page
in the story of Oda Nobunaga, our master!
[06:48] Fudou
Hey, tell me, Yagen.
[06:52] Fudou
Is your Nobunaga meant
to fall to Mitsuhide, too?
[06:58] Fudou
Tell me, Hasebe.
[07:00] Fudou
Does your Nobunaga have
to die in Honnoji, too?
[07:06] Hasebe
Don't ask us. Ask yourself.
[07:13] Mitsuhide
What's the matter? Kill me!
[07:33] (Flashback) Ranmaru
"Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy,
[07:36] (Flashback) Ranmaru
and Niwa Nagahide, all three are mine!"
[07:40] (Flashback) Ranmaru
You were a sword beloved by milord,
[07:44] (Flashback) Ranmaru
and now you belong to me.
[07:47] (Flashback) Ranmaru
Fulfill your purpose in my possession.
[07:50] (Flashback) Ranmaru
And should you ever leave my side
and belong to somebody else,
[07:58] (Flashback) Ranmaru
then do as you must and
fulfill your new purpose.
[08:04] (Flashback) Ranmaru
I know you will serve whoever your
master is well, Fudou Yukimitsu...
[08:11] (Flashback) Ranmaru
My treasure.
[08:18] Fudou
I'm a useless sword.
[08:22] Fudou
Never able to return the love I was shown,
[08:27] Fudou
I am a useless sword!
[08:40] Hasebe
Is that...
[08:44] Yagen
I could never forget him.
[08:46] Souza
The Demon King...
[08:49] Fudou
Nobunaga!
[09:10] Mitsuhide
Nobunaga!
[09:31] Yagen
And here they come.
[09:33] Hasebe
We can't afford to dilly-dally anymore.
[09:36] Hasebe
Not that we ever could, I guess.
[09:39] Yagen
They couldn't alter history
and prevent Nobunaga's suicide,
[09:42] Yagen
so now they're targeting Mitsuhide.
[09:44] Yagen
Get up, Fudou Yukimitsu.
[09:46] Yagen
You are a Sword Warrior,
and you will fight to defend history.
[09:51] Yagen
Isn't that right?
[09:53] Fudou
I don't need you to tell me that.
[09:59] Yamanbagiri
Here I come.
[10:02] Yamanbagiri
I don't like the look in your eyes.
[10:05] Yamanbagiri
I'll cut you down.
[10:12] Yamanbagiri
I...
[10:15] Yamanbagiri
I am no fake!
[10:19] Mikazuki
You want to fight?
[10:22] Mikazuki
There!
[10:24] Mikazuki
How do you like this?
[10:30] Mikazuki
And now, the finale.
[10:32] Hasebe
What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger!
[10:36] Hasebe
I'll cut down all who stand against my master!
[10:42] Hasebe
My blade will not be stopped!
[10:48] Yagen
It's do-or-die time.
[10:49] Yagen
I'll be piercing my way through!
[11:00] Yagen
All the way to the hilt.
[11:10] Fudou
Just how much is this bastard gonna mock me?
[11:13] Fudou
If I go down, it'll sully Nobunaga's name.
[11:18] Fudou
I may be a useless sword,
[11:21] Fudou
but you don't get to say it!
[11:25] Souza
I don't appreciate where you're looking.
[11:29] Souza
This is the brand of the Demon King,
which makes one and all crazy.
[11:35] Souza
There.
[11:37] Souza
Did you really think you
could lay a finger on me?
[11:44] Akechisoldier
Milord!
[11:45] Akechisoldier
Curse you, monsters!
[12:06] Souza
Once this ends, I'll be a caged bird once more.
[12:16] Hasebe
Looks like that's the last of them.
[12:19] Yagen
I can't fight anymore, either.
[12:23] Fudou
How long are you gonna stay on your knees?
[12:26] Mitsuhide
Why didn't you kill me? If you had,
[12:30] Mitsuhide
Nobunaga might still be alive.
[12:35] Fudou
Because you must rule the nation
[12:37] Fudou
and see your cause to fruition.
[12:42] Mitsuhide
My cause, eh?
[12:43] Mitsuhide
I wonder how future generations will
speak of the events in Honnoji today.
[12:50] Mitsuhide
Will they say, "Did Akechi Mitsuhide
wish to take the nation for himself?
[12:54] Mitsuhide
Or did he perhaps have some kind
of reason to hate Nobunaga?"
[12:59] Mitsuhide
They're both wrong.
[13:00] Mitsuhide
All I wanted was for him to deem me valuable.
[13:05] Mitsuhide
However, I no longer have
youth on my side like Ranmaru.
[13:09] Mitsuhide
The thought of him casting me
away scared me to death.
[13:14] Mitsuhide
I needed him to continue
to be my lord and master!
[13:19] Fudou
So?
[13:21] Fudou
So what?
[13:24] Fudou
Nobunaga fulfilled his role in history.
[13:27] Fudou
So you, Akechi Mitsuhide,
[13:30] Fudou
go and do your part in history, too!
[13:33] Mitsuhide
My part in history?
[13:38] Fudou
See it all the way through.
[13:41] Fudou
That is your purpose, and don't you forget it.
[13:50] Yamanbagiri
Honnoji Temple falls.
[13:52] Mikazuki
As the history books say.
[13:58] Yagen
Souza.
[14:00] Souza
Why, exactly, am I crying?
[14:06] Yagen
Don't worry. It's not a bad thing.
[14:11] Souza
Oda Nobunaga...
[14:12] Souza
Who in the world were you?
[14:17] Souza
Who were you to Ranmaru and Mitsuhide,
[14:20] Souza
and who were you to Fudou,
Yagen, and Hasebe, really?
[14:28] Souza
Bearing this brand as I do,
[14:31] Souza
I still can't see you as anything
but the Demon King.
[14:41] Yamanbagiri
The Honnoji Incident has gone down in history.
[14:44] Yamanbagiri
Mori Ranmaru was killed by Akechi's men,
[14:47] Yamanbagiri
and Oda Nobunaga set fire to Honnoji
Temple before ending his own life.
[14:52] Yamanbagiri
Mitsuhide searched for his
corpse but couldn't find it.
[14:58] Yamanbagiri
Maybe every bit of him was turned to ash,
or maybe he escaped and survived.
[15:02] Yamanbagiri
That part remains shrouded in mystery,
but nobody ever found out what became of him.
[15:07] Yamanbagiri
After putting an end to Nobunaga in
the Honnoji Incident, Akechi Mitsuhide,
[15:11] Yamanbagiri
a mere eleven days later...
[15:14] Yamanbagiri
fell to Hashiba Hideyoshi in the
Battle of Yamazaki and lost his life.
[15:20] Yamanbagiri
So everything went according to history,
at least on paper.
[15:26] Yamanbagiri
That's all for my report.
[15:29] Fudou
Aw, man.
[15:31] Fudou
I'm a sword, and here I am,
tending to the horses.
[15:35] Hasebe
We have to do everything Master orders,
even if it's tending to the horses.
[15:43] Fudou
Do you want some amazake, too?
[15:46] Hasebe
Hey, when did you get that?
[15:48] Fudou
I gotta drink to keep going.
[15:51] Hasebe
Quit slacking! This is an important job!
[15:54] Fudou
I'm not slacking, just taking a break.
[15:56] Atsushi
What's up, Yagen?
[15:56] Hasebe
Drinking during work is unacceptable.
[15:58] Yagen
I guess some people really do
get so close that they butt heads.
[15:59] Hasebe
I'll be taking this.
[16:03] Hirano
What does that mean?
[16:05] Atsushi
Beats me.
[16:09] Yamanbagiri
At first, I didn't know why our master
sent the Oda swords to Honnoji,
[16:14] Yamanbagiri
but I think I understand now.
[16:16] Mikazuki
Oh? And what do you think the reason was?
[16:19] Yamanbagiri
Because it gave birth to new stories.
[16:23] Mikazuki
Stories, you say?
[16:25] Yamanbagiri
Our stories make us stronger.
[16:27] Yamanbagiri
I don't like how high-handed the decision was,
[16:31] Yamanbagiri
but it just goes to show how
dire the situation is right now.
[16:35] Yamanbagiri
Master can't afford to sit around and wait
for us and the Citadel to grow stronger.
[16:40] Yamanbagiri
You're starting to get it, Yamanbagiri.
[16:45] Yamanbagiri
What do you mean?
[16:46] Mikazuki
Now I know the Citadel will be
in safe hands, even with me gone.
[16:51] Yamanbagiri
Gone? What are you talking about?
[16:56] Mikazuki
Just a hypothetical.
[16:58] Yamanbagiri
Don't be going senile now.
[17:01] Yamanbagiri
Mikazuki Munechika, we'll still be
needing your help for a while yet.
[17:06] Mikazuki
I'm happy you think so highly of me.
[17:10] Yamanbagiri
Hmm?
[17:12] Yamanbagiri
Where'd my tea go?
[17:13] Mikazuki
Where, indeed?
[17:16] Tsurumaru
You were wide open! Didn't expect me, did ya?
[17:19] Yamanbagiri
Tsurumaru!
[17:21] Tsurumaru
We all need surprises in
life to keep us on our toes.
[17:23] Tsurumaru
If everything goes as we expect,
our minds will rot away.
[17:28] Shokudaikiri
Kept you waiting, did I?
[17:30] Shokudaikiri
I made a new tea snack. Mind trying it for me?
[17:35] Mikazuki
Oho, this looks mighty appealing.
[17:38] Ichigo
You all seem to be having fun.
[17:40] Namazuo
Wow, those look so good!
[17:43] Kousetsu
New recipe?
[17:45] Sayo
Who are you trying to exact
revenge on with this snack?
[17:47] Shokudaikiri
I'm not out for revenge, no.
[17:50] Tsurumaru
Okay, we're throwing a Citadel
thank-you party today.
[17:53] Tsurumaru
It's not a bad idea to let off
steam every now and then.
[17:56] Shokudaikiri
I'll go let people know.
[17:58] Tsurumaru
Nah, let's have our Attendant,
Yamanbagiri, gather everyone.
[18:03] Tsurumaru
Off you go.
[18:04] Kousetsu
A fine thought.
[18:06] Shokudaikiri
I'd better prepare a feast.
[18:08] Ichigo
Allow me to help.
[18:09] Namazuo
I'll go grab the ingredients.
[18:14] Mikazuki
Yes, yes, very good.
[18:23] Yagen
Hey.
[18:24] Souza
Yagen.
[18:26] Yagen
I hear our master named you
MVP of our last battle.
[18:30] Yagen
Great job.
[18:33] Yagen
What's wrong?
[18:35] Yagen
Did you dream about Honnoji again?
[18:38] Souza
No. But even if I did stop dreaming about it,
[18:42] Souza
it doesn't mean that story
doesn't remain with me.
[18:48] Yagen
Yeah, you're right.
[18:53] Souza
If he hadn't wielded me, the Demon King
may not have been defeated.
[19:00] Yagen
Listen.
[19:02] Yagen
My eyes may have just been
playing tricks on me, but...
[19:06] Souza
What is it?
[19:08] Yagen
When we saw Nobunaga-san there in Honnoji,
it seemed to me like he was smiling.
[19:13] Yagen
"I'll play out my role in history,
true to myself.
[19:18] Yagen
So you guys walk your paths proudly, too.
[19:21] Yagen
Struggle, writhe, but keep moving forward."
[19:26] Yagen
I felt like that's what his back
was communicating to us.
[19:32] Hasebe
That's an awfully
convenient interpretation.
[19:35] Yagen
Long story short, that may have been
the kind of man I saw Oda Nobunaga as.
[19:41] Hasebe
Well, as long as it makes you happy,
I've got nothing to say.
[19:45] Yagen
I guess you could say that.
[19:47] Hasebe
Souza Samonji. Did you manage to
figure out who Oda Nobunaga was to you?
[19:52] Souza
Who can say?
[19:55] Souza
We wouldn't be going through all this
trouble if he were so simple to understand.
[20:33] Yamanbagiri
Now, let's begin another day
under the auspices of our master.
SIGN Kurokawa Castle, Tensho 18 (1590)
[21:01] Retainer1
Eek!
[21:02] Retainer2
How horrible!
[21:03] Yoshihime
Kojiro...
[21:17] Masamune
The Toyotomi or the Hojo, huh?
[21:20] Masamune
To think I would be stuck
choosing between the two...
[21:25] Masamune
I feel pathetic, my armor.
[21:28] Masamune
Is our dream of ruling the nation
fated to never come true?
[21:35] Yamanbagiri
A.D. 2205.
[21:37] Yamanbagiri
Historical revisionists,
who are plotting to alter history,
[21:41] Yamanbagiri
began their attacks on the past.
[21:44] Yamanbagiri
In order to stop them, the Time Government
[21:47] Yamanbagiri
sent Saniwa to various time periods.
[21:51] Yamanbagiri
The Saniwa are sages who
can awaken dormant spirits
[21:56] Yamanbagiri
and grant them the power to fight.
[22:00] Yamanbagiri
The spirits they awaken
manifest as Sword Warriors.
[22:05] Yamanbagiri
And so,
[22:06] Yamanbagiri
we head into battle.
