[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

    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.

[05:39] 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.

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

[05:14] Fudou
    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.
[05:47] Fudou
    You there, quit yawning.
[05:49] Fudou
    I'm telling you about my most
    precious memories here.
[05:51] Namazuo
    Not like anyone really asked you to.
[05:56] Fudou
    You know, I'm still very new to this Citadel.
[06:00] Fudou
    I just want you all to get to know me better.
[06:04] Sayo
    Are you done? Can we go now?
[06:07] Fudou
    You guys...
[06:12] Hasebe
    Sayo Samonji. Are you healthy
    enough to be out here?
[06:15] Sayo
    Yes. I'd just rot away
    if I stayed in bed all day.
[06:18] Hasebe
    I see. Glad to hear it.
[06:20] Fudou
    Wow, you're a nice guy, Heshikiri.
[06:23] Hasebe
    Fudou Yukimitsu. What're you doing,
    getting drunk during the day?
[06:27] Hasebe
    How do you expect to carry
    out your duties like that?
[06:30] Hasebe
    Also, "Heshikiri" originates from one of
    my former master's violent outbursts.
[06:34] Hasebe
    Please refrain from calling me that.
[06:37] Fudou
    Former master?
[06:39] Fudou
    You mean Nobunaga?
[06:41] Hasebe
    Do we have to talk about him again?
[06:44] Namazuo
    Uh... You know, Oda Nobunaga
    handed Hasebe down to Kuroda Kanbei,
[06:50] Namazuo
    so he probably has more
    memories of the Kuroda clan!
[06:54] Fudou
    Huh?
[06:55] Maeda
    Namazuo-san...
[06:56] Atsushi
    Adding fuel to the fire?
[06:58] Namazuo
    Huh?
[06:59] Namazuo
    O-Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to!
[07:02] Fudou
    So you were given away to someone
    who wasn't even his retainer?
[07:08] Hasebe
    Fudou Yukimitsu. Oda Nobunaga
    isn't our master now.
[07:13] Hasebe
    Let the past go already.
[07:17] Hasebe
    What?
[07:18] Fudou
    It seems to me that you're the one
    who's not able to let it go.
[07:23] Atsushi
    Hey, Fudou...
[07:26] Fudou
    Serving a new master doesn't mean I'm
    gonna pretend my former master didn't exist.
[07:30] Fudou
    In my eyes,
[07:32] Fudou
    both Nobunaga and our current
    master are equally important.
[07:35] Hasebe
    Don't put our master in
    the same boat as Nobunaga.
[07:38] Hasebe
    Nobunaga was a loser who couldn't
    see his ambitions to fruition.
[07:45] Fudou
    Hey, what did you just say?
[07:47] Hasebe
    Did you not hear me?
[07:49] Fudou
    I did, which is why I'm asking again.
[07:51] Fudou
    How dare you speak of Nobunaga that way?!
[07:54] Namazuo
    Hey, cut it out!
[07:56] Fudou
    You spent time with Nobunaga too, didn't you?!
[07:59] Fudou
    He took such good care of us!
    I won't stand for this!
[08:04] Hasebe
    What the hell would you know?
[08:08] Souza
    You two...
[08:10] Souza
    What are you doing?
[08:11] Maeda
    Souza-san.
[08:12] Souza
    What's happening here?
[08:14] Fudou
    Souza! This guy just insulted Nobunaga!
[08:17] Fudou
    The very same Nobunaga
    who showered us with love!
[08:20] Hasebe
    Nobunaga this, Nobunaga that!
    I'm sick and tired of hearing his name!
[08:25] Hasebe
    He wasn't a man worthy of being
    the great unifier! That is all!
[08:30] Fudou
    I told you, knock it off!
[08:32] Namazuo
    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.

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

SIGN    Azuchi Castle, Tensho 8 (1580)
[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!
[10:40] Fudou
    Yagen!
[10:43] Yagen
    I'm not done yet!
[10:54] Yagen
    There's no end to them.
[10:58] Ranmaru
    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!

[00:55] 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?

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

[07:32] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Milord...
[07:35] Fudou
    Ranmaru...
[07:38] Fudou
    Ranmaru!
[07:47] Fudou
    I don't want to see you die!
[07:51] Fudou
    You and I are comrades,
    both beloved by Nobunaga!
[07:58] Fudou
    That's why I'll... I will...
[08:01] Ranmaru
    Quiet!
[08:08] Fudou
    Ranmaru!
[08:12] Fudou
    You need treatment.
[08:14] Ranmaru
    I must go.
[08:17] Ranmaru
    I must protect milord...
    I must protect Oda Nobunaga-sama.
[08:21] Fudou
    You need treatment, now!
[08:24] Ranmaru
    Let me go!
[08:36] Ranmaru
    Honnoji Temple... is in flames...
[08:40] Ranmaru
    This can't be... It can't be happening.
[08:45] Ranmaru
    Mitsuhide-sama would never start a rebellion.
[08:50] Ranmaru
    Nobunaga-sama cannot die here.
[08:55] Ranmaru
    No... this must be a bad dream. It has to be.
[09:01] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Mitsuhide-sama.
[09:02] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    Forgive me. I had to ask,
    since you seemed so forlorn.
[09:08] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    It simply means our lord treasures
    Mori Ranmaru above all.
[09:14] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    Unlike you, I am old and
    won't live for much longer.
[09:18] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    But I hope I can make
    flowers bloom in the afterlife.
[09:21] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Why would you start a rebellion?
[09:23] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    What cause could this
    madness possibly serve?
[09:26] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    Let me ask you, then.
[09:28] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    Why do you try to protect him with your life?
[09:32] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    What has you show such loyalty to him?!
[09:37] Ranmaru
    I'm aware.
[09:39] Ranmaru
    This is no bad dream. It's reality.
[09:42] Ranmaru
    Mitsuhide-sama is rebelling,
    and milord's life is in danger.
[09:47] Ranmaru
    And yet, there is nothing I can do.
[09:53] Ranmaru
    Do it.
[09:56] Ranmaru
    Kill me. Is that not why you're here?
[10:02] Fudou
    I could never do that!
[10:05] Fudou
    I could never kill a man who
    loved a sword as useless as me!
[10:16] Ranmaru
    Then I shall kill you instead.
[10:31] Ranmaru
    Die.
[10:38] Ranmaru
    You stand in my way again?
[10:53] Yamanbagiri
    Are you okay, Fudou Yukimitsu?
[10:55] Fudou
    Manba-chan.
[10:57] Ranmaru
    The numbers advantage, eh?
[11:00] Ranmaru
    How unlike the time I fought alongside you.
[11:03] Yagen
    Yeah. You treated me back then.
[11:08] Yagen
    I appreciate it, I truly do.
[11:10] Hasebe
    But this ends now.
[11:16] Ranmaru
    No, not yet.
[11:19] Ranmaru
    I have life in me yet.
[11:24] Yagen
    Tch. He keeps coming.
[11:27] Souza
    Wait one moment!
[11:28] Hasebe
    Yeah, something's off.
[11:39] Yamanbagiri
    What's this?
[11:43] Mikazuki
    If Tsurumaru Kuninaga were here,
    I believe this is what he would say...
[11:47] Mikazuki
    "Now this is a surprise."
[11:57] Fudou
    Ranmaru?
[12:12] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    You knaves!
[12:15] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Let me go... Unhand me!
[12:40] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Milord...
[12:49] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    No... No...
[12:52] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    No, no, no, no!
[12:54] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Oda Nobunaga cannot go out this way!
[13:00] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    I must protect milord...
[13:04] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    I don't care what happens to me
    as long as I can save him.
[13:11] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    I shall gladly offer up my own life.
[13:15] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    So please...
[13:20] Hasebe
    What is this?
[13:22] Yagen
    Yeesh. They're pulling out all the stops.
[13:26] Yamanbagiri
    Watch out!
[13:40] Yamanbagiri
    Too shallow?
[13:43] Yamanbagiri
    Crap!
[13:52] Yamanbagiri
    Thanks.
[13:52] Mikazuki
    Now, what do we do about this?
[14:27] Hasebe
    Attack him all at once!
    Fudou Yukimitsu, you fight, too!
[14:32] Hasebe
    Hey! Are you listening?!
[14:36] Fudou
    I decided to defend history as a Sword Warrior.
[14:39] Fudou
    To do that, I thought I had
    to come to terms with it...
[14:44] Fudou
    Come to terms with Ranmaru
    and Nobunaga's history. But...
[14:48] Fudou
    Ranmaru's trying to protect Nobunaga,
    no matter what it takes.
[14:53] Fudou
    I can't cut him down just
    because that's our mission.
[14:57] Fudou
    I failed on that fateful day in Honnoji.
[15:01] Fudou
    Souza, Hasebe, and Yagen, you guys failed, too.
[15:04] Fudou
    But Ranmaru's trying to do what we couldn't!
[15:08] Fudou
    He's trying to save Nobunaga!
[15:14] Fudou
    Stop it! I don't want to fight you!
[15:19] Ranmaru
    Shut up!
[15:23] Souza
    Mori Ranmaru, you should already be dead.
[15:29] Ranmaru
    What are you talking about? I still live...
[15:34] Ranmaru
    I am alive and well right here!
[15:37] Souza
    That isn't what the history books want!
[15:44] Fudou
    Screw history!
[15:47] Fudou
    Do you really think it's more important
    than the people you love?!
[15:50] Fudou
    Is it more important than Ranmaru and
    Nobunaga, who treated us with love and care?!
[15:56] Fudou
    Don't we have a choice that
    isn't accepting this bullcrap?
[16:01] Fudou
    That's just too cruel!
[16:03] Hasebe
    Mori Ranmaru is not meant
    to be alive at this point.
[16:09] Hasebe
    He must die.
[16:16] Fudou
    Ranmaru.
[16:17] Fudou
    Let's get this over with
    and go see Nobunaga, yeah?
[16:27] Yamanbagiri
    Fudou!
[16:29] Hasebe
    Not only is he no help,
    he's actively working against us!
[16:35] Ranmaru
    I must protect milord...
[16:39] Yagen
    Take this!
[16:46] Fudou
    No...
[16:49] Fudou
    Don't!
[16:51] Yamanbagiri
    Now, Souza!
[16:55] Ranmaru
    Souza? Souza Samonji?
[17:00] Ranmaru
    I see. You're milord's sword...
[17:09] Ranmaru
    Why? You are his sword...
[17:14] Ranmaru
    So why do you stop me?
[17:16] Ranmaru
    I simply wish to keep our lord safe...
[17:34] Yagen
    Souza...
[17:42] Ranmaru
    You asked me a question when we last met.
[17:47] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    I wish you all the best, too.
[17:49] (Flashback) Hasebe
    Goodbye, then.
[17:54] (Flashback) Souza
    Mori Ranmaru.
[17:57] (Flashback) Souza
    What is Oda Nobunaga to you?
[18:02] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Huh?
[18:09] Ranmaru
    What is Oda Nobunaga to me?
[18:13] Ranmaru
    As one born to a family under his patronage,
[18:17] Ranmaru
    he is my lord.
[18:20] Ranmaru
    That is why... I must protect him...
[18:28] Ranmaru
    But in truth, such formalities
    never mattered to me.
[18:32] Ranmaru
    My family and my duty were irrelevant.
[18:36] Ranmaru
    I simply loved Oda Nobunaga as a person.
[18:43] Ranmaru
    That is why... I wished to be his shield.
[18:51] Ranmaru
    But I see now that my wish will not come true.
[18:54] Ranmaru
    You all have come here with
    a duty to fulfill, have you not?
[19:01] Ranmaru
    Then forget me, and do as you must.
[19:06] Ranmaru
    As we are all here for a purpose.
[19:12] (Flashback) Fudou
    Yeah, let's meet again for sure.
[19:19] Fudou
    Ranmaru...
[19:27] Mitsuhide
    Oda's followers?
[19:31] Mitsuhide
    Where is Oda Nobunaga?
[19:33] Mitsuhide
    My army has Honnoji Temple surrounded.
    There is nowhere to run.
[19:39] Odaretainer
    I don't know.
[19:40] Odaretainer
    Even if I did, I would never do you
    the pleasure of telling you.
[19:50] Mitsuhide
    Where is he?
[19:51] Mitsuhide
    Where are you, Nobunaga?
[20:01] Mitsuhide
    How bizarre.
[20:02] Mitsuhide
    Is this camellia?
[20:05] Mitsuhide
    A flower disdained by warriors, for the way
    they fall reminds one of a beheading.
[20:13] Mitsuhide
    O Camellia... Who do you bloom for?
[20:29] Yamanbagiri
    Hold it. Where are you going?
[20:31] Fudou
    Sorry, Manba-chan. I don't think my
    "useless" label is going anywhere.
[20:39] Mikazuki
    I believe I warned you.
[20:41] Mikazuki
    If you refuse to defend history,
[20:44] Mikazuki
    we'll have to cut you down.
[20:48] Mikazuki
    Will you still go?
[20:50] Fudou
    Yeah, I'm going.
[20:52] Hasebe
    Are you disobeying our master's orders?
[20:56] Fudou
    Heshikiri... Apologize to our master for me.
[21:00] Hasebe
    If you intend to alter history,
[21:04] Hasebe
    you'll be turning against us, you know that?!
[21:10] Yagen
    Fudou!
[21:12] Yamanbagiri
    That idiot!
[21:24] Hasebe
    Souza Samonji.
[21:30] Yagen
    We should go, too.
[21:36] Hasebe
    Where are you going?
[21:38] Souza
    You were right, Hasebe.
[21:40] Souza
    The Demon King continues
    to haunt us to this day.
[21:43] Souza
    His will still shackles me, you, Yagen...
[21:48] Souza
    And Fudou.
[21:50] Souza
    There is no escape for us.
[21:53] Yagen
    So let's say there is no escape. 
    What can we do?
[22:02] Souza
    If we can't escape it,
[22:06] Souza
    then we have no choice but to face up to it!

[00:32] Mikazuki
    I suppose this is not the time for laughing.
[00:39] Yamanbagiri
    Mikazuki!
[00:43] Mikazuki
    That was some impressive skill.
[00:46] Yamanbagiri
    "Just as the sun shines upon the moon," huh?
[00:49] Yamanbagiri
    That's a tough ask.
[00:51] Mikazuki
    Did I really say that, now?
[00:54] Yamanbagiri
    Quit playing dumb, geezer.
[00:58] Mikazuki
    Quite the sooty sun we have here.
[01:01] Mikazuki
    Now, I suppose I should earn my keep.
[01:05] Yamanbagiri
    Look down on me because
    I'm a copy, and you'll regret it!

[02:47] Yasuke
    Who are you people?
[03:03] Fudou
    Ranmaru... I'll take your place
    and finish what you started.
[03:11] Fudou
    Stay out of my way!
[03:14] Fudou
    Where are you, Mitsuhide?!
[03:27] Souza
    I may not have much battle experience,
[03:33] Souza
    but it seems I cannot keep calling myself
    a caged bird and running away!
[03:42] Souza
    At the end of the day,
    am I only fit to be a decoration?
[03:48] Souza
    Yagen! Hasebe!
[03:51] Hasebe
    How long are you going to mope?
[03:53] Hasebe
    Decoration or not,
    a sword's a sword's, so fight.
[03:56] Yagen
    We can watch your back for you.
[04:02] Mikazuki
    We can handle things here.
[04:05] Yamanbagiri
    We'll open a path for you.
[04:07] Yamanbagiri
    Now go.
[04:09] Souza
    Right!
[04:19] Fudou
    What the...
[04:30] Fudou
    Mitsuhide.
[04:35] Mitsuhide
    You're terribly wounded.
[04:43] Mitsuhide
    How dare you?
[04:47] Fudou
    Nobunaga never would've died
    if you hadn't pulled this crap!
[04:54] Fudou
    Screw your cause! Screw your Honnoji Incident!
[04:59] Fudou
    I'll erase it from the history books!
[05:12] Fudou
    Souza?
[05:25] Fudou
    Why would you go so far to stop me?
[05:28] Souza
    You mustn't kill Mitsuhide.
[05:33] Fudou
    He's trying to kill Nobunaga!
[05:36] Fudou
    You're a Nobunaga sword, too!
[05:39] Fudou
    I failed to protect him back then,
[05:41] Fudou
    but now I have another chance!
    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)
[21:01] Retainer1
    Eek!
[21:02] Retainer2
    How horrible!
[21:03] Yoshihime
    Kojiro...
[21:17] Masamune
    The Toyotomi or the Hojo, huh?
[21:20] Masamune
    To think I would be stuck
    choosing between the two...
[21:25] Masamune
    I feel pathetic, my armor.
[21:28] Masamune
    Is our dream of ruling the nation
    fated to never come true?
[21:35] Yamanbagiri
    A.D. 2205.
[21:37] Yamanbagiri
    Historical revisionists,
    who are plotting to alter history,
[21:41] Yamanbagiri
    began their attacks on the past.
[21:44] Yamanbagiri
    In order to stop them, the Time Government
[21:47] Yamanbagiri
    sent Saniwa to various time periods.
[21:51] Yamanbagiri
    The Saniwa are sages who
    can awaken dormant spirits
[21:56] Yamanbagiri
    and grant them the power to fight.
[22:00] Yamanbagiri
    The spirits they awaken
    manifest as Sword Warriors.
[22:05] Yamanbagiri
    And so,
[22:06] Yamanbagiri
    we head into battle.

[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.
SIGN    Tensho 18 (1590)
    Odawara, Sagami Province
[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.
SIGN    Tensho 10 (1582)
    Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle
[08:46] Hotarumaru
    The Hashiba forces have the castle surrounded.
[08:49] Hotarumaru
    There's no way out.
[08:51] 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.
[09:05] Aoe
    And Bitchu-Takamatsu, under the command
    of Shimizu Muneharu—a Mori retainer—
[09:10] Aoe
    is a stronghold of note.
[09:12] Aoe
    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.

    And? Where are we deploying this time?

    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.

    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.
