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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. I'd just rot away

Wow, you're a nice guy, Heshikiri.

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

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?

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?!

Hey, cut it out!

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

who showered us with love!

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.
[08:36] Fudou
How dare you?!
[08:38] Hasebe
What good will clinging to
past memories forever do?
[08:42] Fudou
Hey, Souza! Doesn't it make you mad,
having your former master insulted?!
[08:48] Souza
I...
[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.

SIGN Team Four

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,
[01:58] Ranmaru
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!

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!

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.

Some are fated to die here,

Oh, dear. It appears you

[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.

"Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy,

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.

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!

I don't care what happens to me
as long as I can save him.

I shall gladly offer up my own life.

So please...

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!

I can save his life!
[05:45] Fudou
Don't you want to save him, Souza?
[05:49] Fudou
Did you forget all the love he gave you?!
[05:56] Souza
That's exactly why we
mustn't cut down Mitsuhide!
[05:59] Souza
This historical event is what makes
Nobunaga and Ranmaru who they are.
[06:06] Souza
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)

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.

[00:22] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro is supposed
to be the Attendant.
[00:25] Hasebe
I cannot usurp his position just like that.
[00:29] Saniwa
Surely you have realized by now.
[00:31] Saniwa
This is a request from Yamanbagiri Kunihiro
himself. He wants to resign as Attendant.
[00:52] Midare
Well? How's it going inside?
[00:54] Atsushi
Shh! Keep it down!
[00:56] Mikazuki
Oh, what's happening? Why are all of you here?
[01:00] Kashuu
Well, you see...
[01:14] Yamanbagiri
What are you doing?
[01:17] Kashuu
Uh, how do we explain this?
[01:20] Mutsunokami
What did Master say?
[01:24] Hachisuka
Hey!
[01:26] Kasen
Not looking good, huh?
[01:27] Konnosuke
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro has offered
to resign from his post of Attendant.
[01:32] Yamabushi
Brother did?
[01:34] Horikawa
But why?
[01:35] Konnosuke
Master picked Heshikiri Hasebe
to be his successor.
[01:40] Jiroutachi
Hasebe as Attendant, huh?
[01:42] Nakigitsune
And? Did you accept?
[01:46] Hasebe
I needed time to think, so I asked
that I be allowed to sleep on it.
[01:58] Shokudaikiri
Hey, Hasebe-kun.
[02:01] Shokudaikiri
We heard that you were appointed Attendant.
[02:04] Tsurumaru
Congrats on the promotion...
is what I'd say, in other circumstances.
[02:08] Doudanuki
You don't seem too pleased about it.
[02:12] Hasebe
Obviously.
[02:13] Yamabushi
Normally, being appointed Attendant
should be cause for celebration...
[02:18] Tsurumaru
...but coming on the heels
of Yamanbagiri's resignation?
[02:22] Shokudaikiri
Your pride won't let you accept
being second choice?
[02:25] Hasebe
That's not the problem.
[02:27] Hasebe
I feel partly responsible for driving
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro into such a corner.
[02:34] Hasebe
Yamabushi Kunihiro, Doudanuki Masakuni.
You two must know where I'm coming from.
[02:39] Doudanuki
Yeah. We were with you guys when it happened.

[02:51] (Flashback) Honebami
Slash!
[03:07] Yamabushi
That wasn't Brother's fault.
[03:10] Doudanuki
We were simply too weak, is all.
[03:13] Doudanuki
So we gotta get stronger.
[03:16] Shokudaikiri
All of us, together.
[03:18] Tsurumaru
That's right.
[03:19] Tsurumaru
Everyone here in this Citadel
needs to grow stronger as a group.
[03:22] Yamabushi
Yes.
[03:24] Yamabushi
We need to make sure Brother
doesn't feel solely responsible.
[03:28] Ookurikara
I don't know about that.
[03:33] Tsurumaru
Heya, Kara-boy. Not every day
you voluntarily join a conversation.
[03:40] Ookurikara
We're not here to make friends.
We exist to fight.
[03:45] Ookurikara
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro made a tactical error
and nearly got his squad wiped out.
[03:50] Ookurikara
It's only natural that he resigned.
[03:54] Ookurikara
And you, Heshikiri Hasebe.
[03:56] Ookurikara
Master appointed you.
Isn't it your duty to fulfill their orders?
[04:01] Hasebe
I'm aware of that, of course.
[04:03] Ookurikara
Then what reason do you have to waver?
[04:10] Tsurumaru
Anyway, Hasebe is Attendant now.
That's happy news.
[04:15] Shokudaikiri
We need to celebrate.
[04:18] Doudanuki
Celebrate how?
[04:25] Hasebe
When did you build this?
[04:27] Shokudaikiri
I figured our Citadel needed
an oasis for the soul,
[04:30] Shokudaikiri
so I got permission from
Master and built this—
[04:33] Shokudaikiri
a Mitsutada-made bar counter!
[04:37] Tsurumaru
Oh, looks like you've got a whole
collection of rare booze.
[04:52] Hasebe
I get that being appointed Attendant is
a huge honor. I can't possibly turn it down.
[04:59] Hasebe
But I can't ignore
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro's state.
[05:04] Hasebe
I can't let him be a disgraced loser.
[05:07] Tsurumaru
So you're stuck between your loyalty to
Master and your bond with Yamanbagiri?
[05:13] Doudanuki
That's surprising, coming from you.
You always put Master first in everything.
[05:18] Yamabushi
Hasebe-dono...
[05:20] Tsurumaru
Well, it certainly is pointless to stay
upset about a lost battle forever.
[05:24] Hasebe
What am I supposed to do?
[05:26] Yamabushi
Oh, don't you worry. Brother will be fine.
[05:30] Yamabushi
No matter how many times he stumbles,
he will always get back on his feet.
[06:01] Mikazuki
I admit defeat.
[06:04] Mikazuki
As a sword, I am positively ancient,
but I have only recently manifested.
[06:09] Mikazuki
You have me handily beat
in real combat experience.
[06:13] Mikazuki
I must grow stronger.
I hope you will continue to spar with me.
[06:20] Mikazuki
Hm? What's the matter?
Is there something on my face?
[06:25] Yamanbagiri
What's the point of comparing one of
the Five Great Swords to a mere copy?
[06:32] Maeda
I wonder what happened to Yamanbagiri-san.
[06:35] Honebami
He must have a lot going on.
[06:44] Hasebe
So what if you're a copy?
[06:46] Yamanbagiri
You heard that?
[06:48] Hasebe
Why'd you resign as Attendant?
[06:50] Yamanbagiri
It's none of your concern.
[06:52] Hasebe
Of course it is!
[06:55] Yamanbagiri
Don't expect great things
from a copy, basically.
[06:58] Hasebe
If you say you're a copy,
[07:00] Hasebe
I was one that was handed down to
someone who wasn't even a direct retainer.
[07:04] Hasebe
But I don't intend to use that
as an excuse to run away!
[07:08] Hasebe
I'm going to gratefully accept Master's
appointment to Attendant, okay?!
[07:14] Yamanbagiri
Sure. I know you'll be up to the task.
[07:20] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro...
[07:22] Hasebe
I will never accept your
abandoning the Attendant post!
[07:38] Uguisumaru
Those aren't quite ready to harvest yet.
[07:41] Yamanbagiri
Is that so? Sorry about that.
[07:48] Hirano
Why do you call yourself
a geezer, Mikazuki-san?
[07:54] Mikazuki
No special reason. I was a sword
forged in the Heian period, is all.
[08:00] Mikazuki
In this Citadel, though, I am still a newcomer.
[08:03] Midare
So we're your senpai, huh?
[08:05] Midare
Then we'll protect you when we sortie together.
[08:11] Mikazuki
Yes, please do.
[08:14] Mikazuki
That aside, Hotarumaru
sure is taking his sweet time.
[08:17] Akita
Hotarumaru-san?
[08:18] Mikazuki
Yes. I invited him to have some tea together.
[08:24] Tonbokiri
If you're looking for Hotarumaru-dono,
he was sent on an expedition.
[08:28] Mikazuki
Oh, an expedition?
[08:30] Otegine
Yeah. Apparently we detected some
suspicious movements in one time period.
[08:35] Otegine
Master ordered him to go
scout it out with Nikkari Aoe.

With Takeda dead after the Invasion of Koshu,
[08:54] Aoe
Nobunaga was one step away from
uniting the nation under his rule.
[08:58] Aoe
He then ordered Hideyoshi to attack the
Chugoku region, ruled by Mori Terumoto.

And Bitchu-Takamatsu, under the command
of Shimizu Muneharu—a Mori retainer—

is a stronghold of note.

But, surrounded by the Hashiba army
[09:15] Aoe
and forced to defend a siege,
it's only a matter of time until it falls.
[09:18] Aoe
So far, everything's going
according to history.
[09:21] Aoe
What's the matter?
[09:23] Hotarumaru
Is that...
[09:26] Hotarumaru
Yep, it's them. The Time Retrograde Army.
[09:29] Hotarumaru
They're scouting out the Hashiba army.
[09:33] Aoe
Let's go.
[09:34] Hotarumaru
Yep.
[09:41] Hotarumaru
There.
[09:44] Aoe
Smile... the Nikkari way.
[10:05] Hotarumaru
Ta-da!
[10:07] Hotarumaru
My sure-kill move!
[10:11] Aoe
Just two enemies?
[10:13] Hotarumaru
They must've been a recon unit,
not a proper squad.
[10:18] Aoe
We should report in to the Citadel.
[10:25] Shokudaikiri
Kept you waiting!
[10:27] Shokudaikiri
I've brought you Mitsutada's special ohagi!
[10:29] Shokudaikiri
Nothing better for a war council.
[10:32] Doudanuki
Not ohagi again.
[10:33] Shokudaikiri
I tried sprinkling soy flour on today's.
[10:36] Mikazuki
Now this looks quite enticing.
[10:39] Ichigo
Yeah, this is great.
[10:41] Tsurumaru
Well, Hasebe? Want to try some?
[10:44] Hasebe
I'm good.
[10:46] Shokudaikiri
Would you have preferred just bean paste?
[10:49] Hasebe
We're here for a war council.
I'll have the snacks later.
[10:53] Mikazuki
Is that so? Then let us get back on topic.
[10:59] Tsurumaru
Basically...
[11:01] Tsurumaru
It's likely the enemy isn't targeting
Shimizu Muneharu in Bitchu-Takamatsu,
[11:07] Tsurumaru
but rather Hashiba Hideyoshi?
[11:10] Aoe
Yeah. They were scouting
the Hashiba camp, after all.
[11:15] Ishikirimaru
Considering his historical importance,
[11:18] Ishikirimaru
it would make sense for them
to go after Hashiba Hideyoshi.
[11:22] Doudanuki
Then we'll just sortie and cut them down.
[11:25] Doudanuki
Manba, report to Master right away.
[11:28] Doudanuki
Oh, right. You're not the Attendant anymore.
[11:33] Yamabushi
What do you say, Hasebe-dono?
[11:36] Hasebe
I haven't accepted the position yet.
[11:40] Mikazuki
I would not mind taking over for you.
[11:45] Mikazuki
That is, if you won't do it, Heshikiri Hasebe.
[11:52] Tsurumaru
What's up? Bathroom break?
[11:54] Hasebe
No. I'm going to see Master.
[11:59] Tsurumaru
Looks like he's finally up to doing it.
[12:03] Mikazuki
Excellent, excellent.
[12:07] Saniwa
I see. I understand the report
from Nikkari Aoe's squad.
[12:13] Saniwa
That aside, have you thought about my offer?
[12:18] Hasebe
I have. Thanks to that, I couldn't
get a moment of sleep last night.
[12:22] Saniwa
Then tell me how you feel.
[12:28] Hasebe
I appreciate your gracious offer
to make me your Attendant.
[12:41] Saniwa
Then, Heshikiri Hasebe,
[12:43] Saniwa
do you have any problems with
becoming Attendant at this Citadel?
[12:47] Hasebe
No. How could I ever?
[12:51] Hasebe
Should you wish it,
[12:53] Hasebe
I will gladly accept the role.
[12:56] Saniwa
Now, I'm sorry this is so sudden, but I want
you to take charge of the next mission.
[13:01] Hasebe
Yes.
[13:02] Saniwa
Squad 1, led by Attendant Heshikiri Hasebe,
will be comprised of:
[13:08] Saniwa
Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
[13:11] Saniwa
Shokudaikiri Mitsutada.
[13:14] Saniwa
Doudanuki Masakuni.
[13:17] Saniwa
Ookurikara.
[13:20] Saniwa
And lastly...
[13:21] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[13:24] Hasebe
I request that you include Yamanbagiri
Kunihiro in the squad for this mission.
[13:33] Saniwa
Heshikiri Hasebe...
[13:35] Saniwa
I see you are a kind sword.
[13:38] Hasebe
I realize this is a selfish request.
[13:41] Hasebe
And I apologize for it.
[13:42] Saniwa
No need to apologize.
[13:44] Saniwa
I'm sure you're up to the task.
[13:47] Hasebe
Your words honor me.
[13:51] Hasebe
And? Where are we deploying this time?
SIGN TOUKEN RANBU KAI DOUDEN
SIGN Tensho 10 (1582)
Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle
[14:20] Ookurikara
When will the enemy make their move?
[14:23] Yamanbagiri
Probably in the middle of the
Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu.
[14:28] Ookurikara
That castle is going to be flooded, right?
We'll have to fight on water.
[14:33] Yamanbagiri
Worried?
[14:35] Ookurikara
I'll just cut down any enemies in my way.
You're the same, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[14:40] Ookurikara
You may not be Attendant anymore,
but surely you can still fight.
[14:44] Yamanbagiri
Yeah.
[14:51] Doudanuki
Man...
[14:53] Doudanuki
Damming the river to flood the
castle itself is a real daring move.
[14:59] Tsurumaru
There are many ways to fight a war.
[15:02] Tsurumaru
We should be taking notes ourselves.
[15:04] Laborer
Hey, newbies! Quit standing
around and get to work!
[15:07] Doudanuki
Shut up! Yeah, we'll get to it! Happy now?
[15:11] Tsurumaru
First, we infiltrate the locals
and gather information.
[15:24] Kanbei
After Bessho Nagaharu at Miki Castle
and Yoshikawa Tsuneie at Tottori Castle,
[15:29] Kanbei
it is time to take Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle,
ruled by Shimizu Muneharu.
[15:35] Hasebe
That voice... It must be Kuroda Kanbei.
[15:37] Kanbei
If we fell this castle,
we'll be one step away from Mori.
[15:42] Hideyoshi
Five years since I was
ordered to take Chugoku...
[15:45] Hideyoshi
This long battle with Mori will soon be over.
[15:48] Hideyoshi
And once we conquer Shikoku and Kyushu,
[15:51] Hideyoshi
Nobunaga-sama will finally unite
the nation under his rule.
[15:57] Nagamasa
Hashiba-sama?
[15:58] Hideyoshi
I was a mere foot soldier,
but Nobunaga-sama helped me get this far!
[16:04] Hideyoshi
I'll be able to witness his unification
of the nation while I'm still alive!
[16:09] Hideyoshi
How blessed am I!
[16:12] Kanbei
Yes, Tensho 10 will go down as the year
Oda Nobunaga-sama unified the nation.
[16:18] Kanbei
It will be spoken of in history books
for generations to come.
[16:22] Shokudaikiri
Are you okay, Hasebe-kun?
[16:26] Hasebe
Given that we know what'll happen in
the near future, this is all very ironic.
[16:43] Retainer A
Gah! Have we not found Nobunaga's body yet?!
[16:46] Retainer B
Yes. Perhaps it burned together
with the inner temple.
[16:51] Retainer A
We don't need your guesses right now.
[16:53] Retainer A
We must find Nobunaga's corpse
and take his head at all costs!
[16:57] Retainer B
Sir!
[16:59] Retainer C
My lord.
[17:00] Mitsuhide
What is it?
[17:01] Retainer C
One of our men spotted a few of Oda's
people escaping Honnoji in the chaos.
[17:06] Mitsuhide
Was Nobunaga one of them?
[17:08] Retainer C
No. They were women and children,
and a foreign man.
[17:11] Mitsuhide
Ignore them. We don't have time
to deal with the riff-raff.
[17:15] Mitsuhide
There is no turning back.
[17:17] Mitsuhide
I, Akechi Mitsuhide, will rule the nation now.
[17:46] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[17:48] Yamanbagiri
Look.
[17:56] Hasebe
Rain?
[17:57] Tsurumaru
Oh, the perfect day to flood a castle.
[18:00] Doudanuki
Will the Time Retrograde Army make their move?
[18:03] Yamanbagiri
Probably.
[18:04] Shokudaikiri
So it begins.
[18:09] Hasebe
Yes.
[18:10] Hasebe
It's the Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu.
[18:20] Soldier
Hurry!
[18:21] Soldier
This is our golden chance!
The river has risen thanks to the rain!
[18:24] Soldier
Make sure we finish in time!
[18:30] Kanbei
Normally, Bitchu-Takamatsu
is an impregnable fortress
[18:32] Kanbei
due to its location by the Ashimori River
and being surrounded by marshes.
[18:37] Hideyoshi
We flip the script by flooding it
to isolate it from land completely.
[18:43] Hideyoshi
Not to mention building an embankment
in a mere twelve days.
[18:48] Hideyoshi
Kanbei, such an ingenious strategy
could only come from your brilliant mind.
[18:52] Kanbei
A strategy only exists on paper
until it is successfully executed.
[18:56] Kanbei
It was you, Hideyoshi-sama,
who helped propel it to completion.
[19:00] Hideyoshi
The Shimizu army can do nothing anymore.
[19:03] Hideyoshi
This long siege is finally coming to an end.
[19:08] Nagamasa
Father!
[19:09] Kanbei
What is it?
[19:11] Nagamasa
One of the scaffoldings used
to build the dam has collapsed.
[19:15] Kanbei
What?
[19:16] Nagamasa
Several of our laborers are
being swept away by the river!
[19:25] Labourer
Help!
[19:30] Hasebe
Konnosuke.
[19:33] Hasebe
Give me the historical impact of the
construction workers being swept away.
[19:37] Konnosuke
One moment.
[19:40] Konnosuke
It seems those men wield very
little influence over history.
[19:44] Tsurumaru
That means it won't be a
problem if we save them.
[19:47] Shokudaikiri
Let's get going, then!
[20:16] Shokudaikiri
Are you okay?
[20:18] Labourer A
Thanks. You saved my life.
[20:20] Labourer B
We would've drowned if you hadn't shown up.
[20:23] Tsurumaru
Oh, no need to thank us.
[20:26] Doudanuki
Yeah. It served as a good workout, too.
[20:30] Ookurikara
Hey.
[20:38] Doudanuki
Not very welcoming, eh?
We just saved these guys, too.
[20:43] Kanbei
Haven't seen you men around before.
[20:45] Nagamasa
Are you with the enemy?
[20:48] Yamanbagiri
These two...
[20:49] Tsurumaru
Yeah, it's Kuroda Kanbei and his son Nagamasa.
[20:53] Shokudaikiri
I see.
[20:55] Doudanuki
What do you want with us?
[20:57] Kanbei
That's what we want to ask you.
[21:00] Kanbei
What were you doing in our camp?
[21:02] Kanbei
Were you trying to delay the operation
by destroying the embankment?
[21:07] Doudanuki
Huh? Why would we do something like that?
[21:10] Labourer B
Please, samurai!
[21:11] Labourer B
These men saved our lives!
[21:14] Labourer C
They threw themselves into
that dangerous current for us!
[21:17] Labourer A
If they really are with the enemy,
why would they save us?
[21:20] Kanbei
They could've caused the collapse themselves
and saved you to gain our trust.
[21:25] Kanbei
That way they can catch us unawares.
[21:28] Kanbei
If it were me, I would at least
consider pulling the strings to do that.
[21:32] Doudanuki
What, you wanna say we should've let them die?!
[21:36] Tsurumaru
Now, calm down, Doudanuki.
[21:39] Kanbei
Allow me to thank you for saving our workers.
[21:42] Kanbei
However, I cannot let you leave just like that.
[21:47] Kanbei
The Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu
is reaching its most crucial stage.
[21:50] Kanbei
I cannot let us be fooled by
the enemy's strategy right now.
[21:53] Nagamasa
Apprehend them.
[21:54] Soldiers
Sir.
[21:57] Hasebe
Hey, Ookurikara!
[21:58] Shokudaikiri
Not now, Kara-chan.
[22:00] Ookurikara
If they're going to impede our mission,
we must get rid of them.
[22:04] Yamanbagiri
We can't take out Kuroda Kanbei
and Nagamasa here.
[22:07] Ookurikara
But that doesn't mean we
have to let them capture us.
[22:13] Soldier
He's running!
[22:18] Hasebe
Ookurikara!
[22:19] Hasebe
What is he doing?
[22:21] Tsurumaru
Mitsu-boy, get him!
[22:22] Shokudaikiri
Got it, Tsuru-san. Leave Kara-chan to me.
[22:27] Soldier
Don't let them escape! After them!
[22:28] Hasebe
No need to go after them.
[22:31] Hasebe
Two men won't hurt you.
You can capture the rest of us.
[22:34] Doudanuki
Yeah, we won't run or hide.
If you're gonna apprehend us, do it already.
[22:39] Nagamasa
Father... What do we do?
[22:42] Kanbei
Throw them in the jail for now.
[22:51] Doudanuki
We'll have to wait and see, huh?
[22:54] Tsurumaru
The enemy hasn't made their move yet.
Let's take our time and scope things out.
[23:08] Soldiers
Whoa!
[23:09] Soldiers
Help!
[23:10] Soldiers
I'm drowning!
[23:11] Soldiers
Somebody... Please help!
[23:13] Kanbei
Like a palace on the water, eh?
[23:17] Hideyoshi
If we weren't at war, I would want to
have a drink with this beautiful backdrop.
[23:24] Kanbei
Build a dam on the Ashimori River,
and direct the water to the castle...
[23:29] Kanbei
The plan seems to have worked.
[23:31] Hideyoshi
Kanbei, you brilliant strategist.
You made this happen.
[23:35] Kanbei
We were lucky that the continuous
rain raised the river's level.
[23:41] Kanbei
Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle is
basically on its own island now.
[23:44] Kanbei
It won't be easy for them
to fight or flee like that.
[23:49] Hideyoshi
The Chugoku invasion that Nobunaga-sama
ordered has taken me five years,
[23:54] Hideyoshi
and it will soon be over. You have my thanks.
[23:57] Kanbei
What are you saying, Hashiba Hideyoshi-sama?
[24:01] Kanbei
The valor belongs to you alone.
[24:03] Kanbei
If I were serving any other lord, I couldn't have
put such a daring strategy into motion.
[24:08] Kanbei
When Nobunaga-sama unites
the country for good,
[24:12] Kanbei
the long-lasting strife of the
Sengoku Period will finally end.
[24:15] Kanbei
But it makes me sad.
[24:18] Kanbei
Sad?
[24:19] Hideyoshi
I've faced many a battle together with
Nobunaga-sama, dreaming of uniting the nation.
[24:24] Hideyoshi
That dreamlike time will soon come to an end.
[24:28] Hideyoshi
One is happiest when chasing
the dream, don't you think?
[24:32] Kanbei
Don't you wish to take
the country for yourself?
[24:37] Hideyoshi
What?
[24:39] Kanbei
The thought that you too would make
for a fine ruler refuses to leave my mind.
[24:43] Hideyoshi
Kanbei, remember that we were born
in the time of the great Oda Nobunaga.
[24:49] Hideyoshi
His dream is my dream, too.
[24:53] Kanbei
My apologies. Pay no heed to my words just now.
[24:57] Kanbei
Please forget them.
[24:58] Hideyoshi
That aside, I heard that you captured some
suspicious men at the construction site.
[25:05] Kanbei
Yes. I had them confined so
that they wouldn't get away.
[25:11] Hideyoshi
Are they with Mori?
[25:13] Kanbei
I hope to find out by
interrogating them shortly.
[25:15] Hideyoshi
How will the Mori forces react
now that they've been cornered?
[25:19] Hideyoshi
Victory is within sight. All the more
reason for us to exercise utmost caution.
[25:23] Hideyoshi
See to it.
[25:24] Kanbei
Sir.
[25:28] Tsurumaru
We just made it to this time period.
[25:32] Tsurumaru
Who woulda thought we'd immediately
get captured and thrown in jail?
[25:35] Doudanuki
We could break out of here in no time, though.
[25:39] Doudanuki
So? What's the plan, Captain?
[25:43] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, what would you do?
[25:47] Yamanbagiri
Why ask me?
[25:49] Yamanbagiri
You make the call.
[25:51] Yamanbagiri
We'll just follow your orders.
[25:55] Hasebe
How long are you going to
keep moping like this?!
[25:59] Yamanbagiri
What do you mean?
[26:02] Hasebe
Remember...
[26:04] Hasebe
I will not accept this!
[26:16] Ookurikara
Look.
[26:21] Shokudaikiri
Oh, boy...
[26:23] Shokudaikiri
Looks like the enemy's making their move, too.
[26:25] Shokudaikiri
Are you planning on fighting them alone?
[26:29] Ookurikara
Heshikiri Hasebe and Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[26:33] Ookurikara
Heshikiri Hasebe is trying to use this mission
[26:36] Ookurikara
to get Yamanbagiri Kunihiro back
on his feet after his last defeat.
[26:40] Shokudaikiri
Yeah...
[26:42] Shokudaikiri
You may be right.
[26:44] Ookurikara
But we fight to defend history, nothing else.
[26:48] Ookurikara
The Citadel's not a place for friendship.
[26:51] Shokudaikiri
It's not like Hasebe-kun and
Yamanbagiri-kun don't understand that.
[26:56] Ookurikara
Then what are they doing?
[26:58] Shokudaikiri
They're fighting frantically to grow
stronger than they are now.
[27:04] Shokudaikiri
You don't seem convinced.
But you're fine that way, Kara-chan.
[27:09] Shokudaikiri
I can't let you go alone.
We can't afford to lose you.
[27:13] Shokudaikiri
Let's regroup with Hasebe-kun's
squad and report this.
[27:17] Shokudaikiri
This isn't friendship. It's teamwork.
[27:20] Shokudaikiri
That's essential in battle, don't you think?
[27:25] Shokudaikiri
I knew you would understand, Kara-chan.
[27:28] Ookurikara
Tch. Let's get going already.
SIGN Main Keep
Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle
[27:34] Muneharu
I never imagined they would use
the Ashimori River to flood us.
[27:39] Muneharu
Only Kuroda Kanbei could have
come up with such a plan.
[27:43] Retainer 1
The flooding has completely
broken our supply lines.
[27:47] Retainer 1
If the castle runs out of
weaponry or provisions,
[27:50] Retainer 1
we stand no chance of victory!
[27:53] Muneharu
You think I would lose to
Nobunaga's little lap monkey?!
[27:58] Retainer 2
But my lord, our hands are tied.
[28:02] Retainer 3
At this rate, our men will
simply be waiting to die!
[28:06] Muneharu
Curse you, Hideyoshi. Curse you, Kanbei.
[28:10] Muneharu
What do I do? What can I do to fight back?
[28:15] Retainer 1
Who's there?!
[28:19] Retainer 2
A-A monster?!
[28:22] Retainer 1
W... We... We are on your side.
[28:28] Retainer 1
We help you.
[28:30] Retainer 1
We help you... survive.
[28:34] Retainer 3
What the hell is this?!
[28:36] Retainer 2
Is the monster making him speak?!
[28:42] Muneharu
If all I can do is wait for
my death, I might as well.
[28:46] Muneharu
I don't care if you're monsters or whatever.
[28:48] Muneharu
If you're offering to side with me,
I accept your offer.
[28:53] Retainer 1
We will help you win.
[28:58] Munharu
Then I order you...
[29:00] Munharu
Kill Hashiba Hideyoshi.
[29:06] Hasebe
We deployed in the
Battle of Odawara before.
[29:10] Hasebe
We were soundly defeated that time.
[29:15] Hasebe
The one who was controlling the Time
Retrograde Army from the shadows back then
[29:21] Hasebe
was Kuroda Kanbei.
[29:23] Hasebe
And this Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu
takes place before the one at Odawara.
[29:28] Hasebe
If we handle this right,
we may be able to cancel that defeat.
[29:32] Tsurumaru
Needless meddling will only mess
up the complex web of timelines.
[29:38] Tsurumaru
I'm pretty sure you're
fully aware of that, though.
[29:42] Hasebe
Yeah. Just wanted to put it out there.
[29:48] Tsurumaru
Hey, if it isn't Kuroda Kanbei.
[29:52] Doudanuki
How long are you gonna
keep us locked up in here?
[29:56] Doudanuki
My body's growing rusty.
[30:01] Doudanuki
Out. I need to talk to you.
[30:07] Doudanuki
Is this how you treat guests here?
[30:11] Tsurumaru
Looks like we're still under suspicion.
[30:14] Hasebe
So what did you want to talk about?
[30:17] Kanbei
Unifying the nation was said to be an
impossible dream, but can it really be done?
[30:24] Kanbei
Every man living in this era
must've asked himself that once.
[30:28] Kanbei
One particular man, however,
is attempting to make it reality.
[30:32] Hasebe
Oda Nobunaga.
[30:34] Kanbei
Indeed. He exiled even the Shogun,
[30:37] Kanbei
took down the opposition including
the likes of Takeda Shingen,
[30:42] Kanbei
and is one step away from
ruling the entire nation.
[30:47] Kanbei
But it doesn't look like it will be easy.
[30:50] Tsurumaru
Mori Terumoto sided with the Shogun, right?
[30:54] Kanbei
You know a lot about this.
[30:56] Kanbei
In order to take down Mori,
Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle here must be felled.
[31:02] Kanbei
We can't have anyone getting
in our way, not right now.
[31:07] Kanbei
Who are you people?
[31:09] Kanbei
Are you with Shimizu Muneharu?
Or are you direct retainers of the Mori?
[31:13] Doudanuki
We're not like that.
[31:16] Kanbei
Then who are you?
[31:17] Kanbei
You can't tell me that you passed by and
just happened to help the drowning workers.
[31:22] Tsurumaru
Actually, yeah, we just happened
to help the drowning workers.
[31:26] Kanbei
This is one battle we cannot afford to lose.
[31:30] Kanbei
Everything we do is for
Nobunaga-sama's ambition.
[31:32] Kanbei
Should you stand in its way,
[31:34] Kanbei
I will cut you down right here and now,
no matter who you might be.
[31:39] Hasebe
You seem enamored with Nobunaga.
[31:42] Kanbei
Of course I am. Have you all met him?
[31:47] Hasebe
Nah. I don't know or care about Nobunaga.
[31:50] Kanbei
That's unfortunate.
You'd understand if you'd met him.
[31:54] Kanbei
Understand how lucky
you are to live in his era.
[31:58] Kanbei
Behold. This is a famed sword
he gave to me—Heshikiri.
[32:04] Kanbei
It is my pride and joy.
[32:07] Hasebe
You're not even his direct retainer.
It can't be anything special.
[32:13] Kanbei
No. It must have torn his heart apart
to give one of his swords to another.
[32:19] Kanbei
And yet, he bestowed me with one.
[32:22] Kanbei
That is why I must display
my unending loyalty to him,
[32:27] Kanbei
in the name of this sword.
[32:30] Nagamasa
Father!
[32:32] Kanbei
What is it?
[32:33] Nagamasa
Our patrol apprehended a
messenger headed for Mori.
[32:38] Kanbei
A messenger?
[32:40] Nagamasa
This is the letter he was carrying.
[32:53] Kanbei
Nobunaga-sama... was killed in Honnoji
in an act of rebellion by Akechi Mitsuhide?
[32:59] Kanbei
It can't be...
[33:01] Kanbei
This cannot be happening!
[33:05] Doudanuki
Ow!
[33:07] Doudanuki
You could treat us with a
bit more care, you know!
[33:10] Tsurumaru
They received word of
Nobunaga's death in Honnoji, huh?
[33:14] Hasebe
Yeah. If it goes according to history,
[33:16] Hasebe
the Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu will be
brought to a swift conclusion from here.
[33:21] Doudanuki
And Hideyoshi will retreat from Chugoku
to take down Akechi Mitsuhide.
[33:32] Hideyoshi
Nobunaga-sama is dead?
[33:34] Hideyoshi
Lies. This has to be some kind of mistake!
[33:38] Kanbei
We have no way of confirming
this news as of now.
[33:42] Kanbei
But if it reaches Mori's ears,
it may change the course of this war.
[33:48] Hideyoshi
What do you want me to do?
[33:51] Kanbei
Now is the time to make
Nobunaga-sama's dream your own.
[33:55] Hideyoshi
Are you telling me to betray Nobunaga-sama?!
[33:58] Kanbei
That is not what I mean.
[34:00] Kanbei
But we cannot let Akechi or Mori take
over his dream to unite the nation.
[34:06] Kanbei
In that case, Hashiba Hideyoshi-sama...
[34:08] Kanbei
It has to be you.
[34:11] Kanbei
If you are unwilling, then I,
Kuroda Kanbei, will inherit his dream.
[34:16] Hideyoshi
Kanbei, you...
[34:19] Kanbei
What will you do?
[34:21] Hideyoshi
What will you do after I unify the country?
[34:25] Hideyoshi
Will you pry it from my hands?
[34:28] Kanbei
If that's what you believe,
then cut me down right here and now.
[34:33] Hideyoshi
Fine. Kanbei... lend me your strength.
[34:38] Hideyoshi
We'll fell Bitchu-Takamatsu
at once and return to Kyoto.
[34:42] Hideyoshi
We must kill the traitor Akechi Mitsuhide.
[34:46] Kanbei
As you wish.
[34:49] Hideyoshi
What?!
[34:52] Kanbei
What is it? Did the Mori attack?
[34:55] Soldier
M-Monsters...
[34:56] Kanbei
Monsters?
[35:03] Kanbei
What is all this?
[35:07] Doudanuki
It's getting noisy out there.
[35:10] Tsurumaru
Yeah. Looks like it's begun.
[35:15] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro!
[35:19] Shokudaikiri
It'd be ideal if we could surprise the
enemy and go wild, don't you think?
[35:27] Ookurikara
I'll fight solo. You guys do whatever you want.
[35:31] Doudanuki
Doesn't feel right without this.
[35:33] Tsurumaru
We might as well set up an ambush.
[35:39] Hasebe
I know you can still fight.
[35:53] Tsurumaru
Okay, the stage is set.
[35:56] Tsurumaru
Let's get started!
[36:01] Shokudaikiri
We've got a chance to shine,
so let's steal the show!
[36:07] Doudanuki
Sure.
[36:09] Doudanuki
No matter how sturdy,
nothing can withstand me!
[36:14] Ookurikara
Here I go.
[36:36] Hasebe
I'll handle this. You guys go
defend Hideyoshi and Kanbei!
[36:40] Kanbei
Thank you!
[36:50] Hasebe
Crap!
[36:53] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro!
[37:22] Yamanbagiri
We're on the back foot.
[37:24] Hasebe
What would you do?
[37:27] Hasebe
How do you see this situation?
[37:33] Yamanbagiri
We may be outnumbered,
but we're about equal in strength.
[37:38] Yamanbagiri
I'd choose to fight through this.
[37:40] Hasebe
We'll do just that, then!
[37:50] Kanbei
Oh, no! An ambush?
[38:06] Tsurumaru
Not much of a surprise, I must say.
[38:09] Shokudaikiri
Glad you're okay.
[38:26] Doudanuki
That should take care of them.
[38:29] Ookurikara
I could've handled this myself.
[38:32] Doudanuki
Don't say that. I'm glad you were with me.
[38:42] Muneharu
What are you doing? Hideyoshi is still alive!
[38:46] Muneharu
Send more reinforcements!
[38:48] Retrograde Tachi
This is over. There are
other places to alter history.
[38:55] Muneharu
Wait! Where are you going?
[38:57] Muneharu
Are you going to abandon me?!
[39:09] Shokudaikiri
The Hashiba side sent a messenger
to Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle after that,
[39:13] Shokudaikiri
and the two sides signed a peace deal.
[39:16] Doudanuki
But the condition was that the castle lord,
Shimizu Muneharu, commit seppuku.
[39:22] Doudanuki
The Sengoku Period was brutal.
[39:25] Tsurumaru
Muneharu left the castle on a boat,
wrote his final haiku, and cut himself open.
[39:33] Tsurumaru
The way samurai live and die
is always eye-opening.
[39:38] Hasebe
With this, the Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu
concluded as it did in history.
[39:43] Doudanuki
So that's mission complete.
[39:47] Shokudaikiri
Let's return to the Citadel
and report in to Master.
[39:53] Kanbei
Oh, there you are.
[39:57] Hasebe
Lord... I mean, Kuroda Kanbei.
[40:03] Doudanuki
What do you want?
You gonna throw us in jail again?
[40:08] Kanbei
Allow me to first apologize.
[40:11] Kanbei
I'm sorry for suspecting you all.
[40:14] Hasebe
No need for apologies.
You didn't know who we might be.
[40:19] Hasebe
In your position,
what you did was the right choice.
[40:22] Doudanuki
So is that all you wanted?
[40:27] Kanbei
Actually, I have a request to make of you, too.
[40:30] Tsurumaru
Oh? What kind of request?
[40:33] Kanbei
The Hashiba army will leave here
at once and head to Kyoto.
[40:40] Kanbei
Hideyoshi-sama seeks to avenge
the death of our lord.
[40:44] Shokudaikiri
Avenge your lord...
[40:46] Hasebe
Kill Akechi Mitsuhide, huh?
[40:51] Kanbei
Yes. And in light of your skills,
I want you to be his bodyguards.
[40:57] Doudanuki
Us? Hideyoshi's bodyguards?
[40:59] Kanbei
With Nobunaga-sama gone,
we cannot afford to lose him, too.
[41:06] Shokudaikiri
But we're here on our own master's orders.
[41:10] Shokudaikiri
We can't accept another mission
without their permission.
[41:16] Ookurikara
Hey.
[41:18] Yamanbagiri
Yeah. Looks like they were trying
to figure out what we're doing.
[41:22] Yamanbagiri
Hasebe.
[41:24] Hasebe
I know. This isn't over yet.
[41:27] Hasebe
So we'll continue our mission,
as Master ordered.
[41:46] Doudanuki
They're not attacking yet.
[41:48] Tsurumaru
Yeah.
[41:49] Shokudai
But they are keeping an eye on us.
[41:53] Ookurikara
We're wasting time as bodyguards.
[41:55] Ookurikara
We can just go on the attack ourselves.
[41:57] Hasebe
Wait. It'd be risky to act when we
don't know what the enemy is planning.
[42:02] Hasebe
Who knows what kind of trap
they might have set?
[42:05] Shokudaikiri
Either way, it's unlikely that this
will go down without incident.
[42:23] Shokudaikiri
What's the matter, Hasebe-kun?
[42:25] Hasebe
Nothing.
[42:37] Doudanuki
You see 'em?
[42:41] Doudanuki
They really are keeping an eye
on us, but with just scouts.
[42:47] Doudanuki
Which means they'll
probably make their move...
[42:50] Ookurikara
...in the Battle of Yamazaki, where Hashiba
Hideyoshi defeats Akechi Mitsuhide.
[42:57] Doudanuki
Either way, our job doesn't change. Right?
[43:02] Ookurikara
We'll cut down the enemy.
[43:04] Ookurikara
That's all.
[43:09] Shokudaikiri
I can only watch in admiration.
[43:12] Tsurumaru
Yeah, same here.
[43:14] Shokudaikiri
They've been marching
without any breaks at all,
[43:17] Shokudaikiri
but neither Hashiba Hideyoshi nor
Kuroda Kanbei show any signs of fatigue.
[43:23] Tsurumaru
They moved such a large army across
a huge distance in just ten days.
[43:26] Tsurumaru
No wonder they're called the greatest
offensive force of the Sengoku Period.
[43:31] Tsurumaru
It goes to show why their names
went down in the history books.
[43:39] Shokudaikiri
We must keep them safe.
[43:40] Tsurumaru
Yeah, and we will.
[43:46] Hasebe
It's almost creepy how quiet it's been.
[43:49] Yamanbagiri
They are observing our movements, though.
[43:52] Yamanbagiri
But it seems they don't intend
to attack or make contact with us.
[43:56] Hasebe
There's no way it ends like this.
[43:59] Yamanbagiri
I know. This is your first mission as Attendant.
[44:03] Yamanbagiri
You must return to Master with news of victory.
[44:07] Yamanbagiri
That's for sure.
[44:22] Yamanbagiri
Once we cross that mountain,
we'll be at Mt. Tenno.
[44:25] Yamanbagiri
Mitsuhide is defeated there,
[44:27] Yamanbagiri
and Hideyoshi begins his march
to becoming the nation's ruler.
[44:30] Yamanbagiri
If the Time Retrograde Army
plans to move, it'll be there.
[44:40] Hasebe
About these latest appointments...
[44:43] Hasebe
At this rate, the frustration and regrets
from that defeat will remain unresolved.
[44:50] Hasebe
Not just for you, but also for me.
[44:53] Hasebe
To overcome that, you need to
return to the role of Attendant.
[44:58] Hasebe
You are the Attendant at our Citadel.
Fulfill your role, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[45:06] Yamanbagiri
I...
[45:08] Yamanbagiri
I lost sight of how an
Attendant is supposed to be.
[45:11] Yamanbagiri
If I'd stayed in the role,
I might've led us to another defeat.
[45:17] Yamanbagiri
That's why I made my decision.
[45:20] Hasebe
I don't have a solution to your problem.
[45:24] Hasebe
So you'll just have to find
it yourself... in battle.
SIGN Shoryuji Castle
[45:38] Soldier
My lord!
[45:40] Soldier
The Hashiba army's march is not stopping.
The Saito squad has retreated from battle.
[45:44] Soldier
Matsuda Masachika-dono, Ito Sadaoki-dono,
and others have been killed, too!
[45:49] Mitsuhide
If this continues, morale will keep dropping.
[45:53] Mitsuhide
Well done, Hideyoshi-dono.
[45:55] Mitsuhide
I am impressed.
[45:57] Mitsuhide
But I'm not done.
[45:59] Mitsuhide
If I die here, I will have betrayed
Nobunaga-sama for naught.
[46:06] Mitsuhide
We'll abandon this castle and fall back to Omi.
[46:10] Mitsuhide
There, we will regroup
and prepare to fight again!
[46:13] Retainers
Sir!
[46:29] Hideyoshi
Their soldiers are falling back.
[46:32] Hideyoshi
Is Mitsuhide planning to abandon this battle?
[46:36] Kanbei
We cannot let him escape.
[46:39] Kanbei
Let's send a squad in pursuit right away.
[46:41] Kanbei
We must kill the traitor
Akechi Mitsuhide right here!
[46:45] Hideyoshi
Yes.
[46:48] Hasebe
Let's go.
[46:49] Doudanuki
Yeah.
[46:50] Shokudai
Are you all ready?
[46:54] Tsurumaru
The stage is set. It's showtime.
[47:16] Samurai Hunter
This guy's the Akechi lord.
[47:20] Samurai Hunter
His head will fetch a pretty price.
[47:24] Mitsuhide
Samurai hunters? Is this it?
[47:30] Samurai Hunters
Wh-What?!
[47:34] Samurai Hunters
The hell are you?!
[47:47] Kanbei
Halt!
[48:02] Kanbei
You guys...
[48:04] Shokudaikiri
Let us handle this.
[48:07] Tsurumaru
You go after Mitsuhide.
[48:10] Kanbei
Got it. I'm counting on you.
[48:14] Doudanuki
Great. We can finally fight the way we want.
[48:19] Hasebe
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro and I
will guard Kuroda Kanbei.
[48:23] Hasebe
Can you guys handle this?
[48:26] Shokudaikiri
Okay.
[48:27] Tsurumaru
I guess we could, yeah.
[48:30] Ookurikara
Go.
[48:35] Doudanuki
All right. Bring it already!
[48:45] Kanbei
Mitsuhide!
[48:58] Mitsuhide
None will stand in my way.
[49:07] Hasebe
Are you all right?!
[49:08] Kanbei
Mitsuhide!
[49:09] Kanbei
Why did you betray Nobunaga-sama?!
[49:12] Mitsuhide
Kuroda Kanbei...
You should be able to understand.
[49:17] Mitsuhide
When the nation is unified,
Nobunaga-sama's dream will be fulfilled.
[49:22] Mitsuhide
That would spell the end of my story
serving him as he chases his dream.
[49:28] Mitsuhide
I had no choice to take it from him!
I had to take the nation from Oda Nobunaga!
[49:34] Kanbei
Mitsuhide, some things
are beyond certain people.
[49:38] Kanbei
And for you, that is ruling the nation.
[49:41] Mitsuhide
You're the renowned genius strategist.
There may be truth to your words.
[49:46] Mitsuhide
However, I could not afford to sit still!
[49:52] Kanbei
It's not just you.
Ruling the nation is beyond me, as well.
[49:56] Kanbei
We're not built for it.
[49:58] Kanbei
And I have only met three men
in this world who can say they are.
[50:05] Kanbei
Oda Nobunaga, Hashiba Hideyoshi,
and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
[50:10] Mitsuhide
You have a keen eye.
[50:14] Mitsuhide
But even if my ambition is to die,
I don't want my life to end here!
[50:26] Yamanbagiri
That's a lot.
[50:27] Hasebe
Think you can take them?
[50:28] Yamanbagiri
Yeah. We can't let Kuroda Kanbei die here.
[50:37] Hasebe
What the...
[50:44] Yamanbagiri
What is this?
[50:55] Hasebe
A sight that would've surprised even
Tsurumaru Kuninaga if he were here.
[50:59] Yamanbagiri
Here it comes!
[51:11] Doudanuki
Bigger than the sum of its parts, eh?
[51:24] Tsurumaru
We should probably team up for this.
[51:26] Shokudaikiri
We'll keep it busy.
[51:28] Shokudaikiri
Hasebe-kun, you attack in the meantime!
[51:33] Yamanbagiri
Shokudaikiri!
[51:35] Hasebe
Help him!
[51:51] Tsurumaru
This is trouble.
[51:58] Ookurikara
I'll cut it.
[51:59] Ookurikara
Don't stop me.
[52:01] Yamanbagiri
If you don't want to be broken,
[52:03] Yamanbagiri
help me out.
[52:05] Ookurikara
What's your plan?
[52:07] Yamanbagiri
Inside that thing is Akechi Mitsuhide,
possessed by the Time Retrograde Army.
[52:12] Yamanbagiri
I'll be the decoy and create
an opening in that monster.
[52:15] Yamanbagiri
You find Akechi Mitsuhide
inside and drag him out.
[52:20] Doudanuki
No need to go it alone.
[52:22] Shokudaikiri
The more distractions, the better.
[52:25] Tsurumaru
Yeah.
[52:26] Tsurumaru
Let's give that monster a big old surprise.
[52:29] Hasebe
Ookurikara, can you do it?
[52:32] Ookurikara
Of course.
[52:58] Hasebe
Now!
[53:12] Ookurikara
There he is.
[53:30] Hasebe
Did we get it?!
[53:41] Tsurumaru
Looks like we need one last push.
[53:45] Doudanuki
All right! Let's finish this up!
[53:49] Yamanbagiri
Here I go!
[54:26] Doudanuki
Was that the last one?
[54:30] Shokudaikiri
Looks like it.
[54:33] Tsurumaru
We're out of steam, too.
[55:02] Mitsuhide
Kanbei-dono.
[55:05] Kanbei
Mitsuhide-dono.
[55:09] Mitsuhide
It was a most enjoyable time, following
Nobunaga-sama as he chased his dream.
[55:16] Kanbei
I must say I agree.
[55:19] Mitsuhide
My friends, who lived through
an age of war with me.
[55:22] Mitsuhide
I lived a wonderful life.
[55:24] Mitsuhide
You have my thanks.
[56:01] Hasebe
That concludes my report on this mission.
[56:05] Hasebe
After the Battle of Yamazaki,
Hashiba Hideyoshi aims to unify the nation.
[56:11] Hasebe
The series of events that started
with the Honnoji Incident
[56:14] Hasebe
have all gone according to history.
[56:33] Mikazuki
There!
[56:39] Tsurumaru
You got me.
[56:40] Tsurumaru
That's one of the Five Great Swords for you.
[56:46] Mikazuki
If you went all-out,
I doubt I could defeat you yet.
[56:49] Mikazuki
I have made progress, though,
and not just with sparring.
[56:55] Mikazuki
I've learned a lot about farm work and
tending to the horses from everyone here.
[57:01] Mikazuki
Each day since I manifested has
been full of new things to learn.
[57:06] Maeda
Hasebe-san.
[57:09] Maeda
Did you finish reporting to Master?
[57:12] Hasebe
Yeah.
[57:13] Mikazuki
Oh, Heshikiri Hasebe. Have you
gotten used to being Attendant yet?
[57:22] Tsurumaru
Why the long face?
[57:25] Hasebe
If it's what Master wants,
I'll even do my best as Attendant.
[57:30] Hasebe
But...
[57:32] Mikazuki
Everyone in this Citadel, me included,
is inexperienced as a Sword Warrior.
[57:39] Mikazuki
All of this is new to us,
and sometimes we will fail.
[57:49] Maeda
I wonder what's up with Hasebe-san.
[57:51] Tsurumaru
Oh, he just has a lot on his plate.
[58:03] Saniwa
I see. I may have made the wrong call.
[58:10] Mikazuki
Everyone makes mistakes.
[58:13] Saniwa
I understand where Heshikiri
Hasebe is coming from.
[58:17] Saniwa
But I felt it would be cruel to ask Yamanbagiri
Kunihiro to continue as Attendant.
[58:24] Saniwa
The role of Attendant may
end up vacant if this continues.
[58:28] Saniwa
If only there were
someone else up to the task...
[58:33] Mikazuki
That would not solve the matter at hand.
[58:36] Mikazuki
But going from Heshikiri Hasebe back to
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro would also cause issues.
[58:44] Mikazuki
In that case, Master,
[58:47] Mikazuki
how about I take on the role temporarily?
[58:52] Saniwa
Oh? You want to be Attendant,
Mikazuki Munechika?
[58:56] Mikazuki
Yes. Having only manifested recently,
my sword skills are not yet up to par.
[59:03] Mikazuki
But, old as I am, I may be able to pass down
my experiences to the younger swords.
[59:08] Mikazuki
It will look like I stole the role of
Attendant from Heshikiri Hasebe,
[59:13] Mikazuki
but I do not mind playing the villain
if it helps the Citadel as a whole.
[59:19] Mikazuki
When the time is right, you can just
reinstate Yamanbagiri Kunihiro as Attendant.
[59:24] Mikazuki
I'm sure that time is not too far away.
[59:38] Hasebe
Mikazuki Munechika as Attendant?
[59:41] Mikazuki
This was my idea, and Master agreed to it.
[59:46] Mikazuki
If you have any objections,
Master will gladly hear you out.
[59:52] Hasebe
I have none. I would've suggested
it to Master if you hadn't.
[59:58] Hasebe
Master, I thank you deeply for
taking my feelings into account.
[1:00:04] Hasebe
I'll make sure that this decision
benefits the Citadel in the long term.
[1:00:09] Hasebe
And I'll continue to do my best so I can
be Attendant fair and square someday.
[1:01:10] Kanbei
You...
[1:01:12] Kanbei
Are you the foreigner who
was with Nobunaga-sama?
[1:01:15] Yasuke
Nobunaga... sama...
[1:01:18] Kanbei
What happened?
[1:01:19] Yasuke
I don't know, but Ranmaru
fought to save Nobunaga-sama.
[1:01:26] Yasuke
We fought the dark ones to
try to save Nobunaga-sama.
[1:02:46] Souza
Is this...
[1:03:03] Souza
A dream...
[1:03:05] Souza
of Honnoji that day!
[1:03:19] Fudou
Where am I?
[1:03:20] Mikazuki
Welcome to our Citadel.
[1:03:23] Fudou
Citadel?
[1:03:25] Mikazuki
You were awakened by the Saniwa
and have manifested as a Sword Warrior.
[1:03:31] Fudou
A Sword Warrior... I see.
[1:03:35] Fudou
So you're my new master.
