[00:09] Kasen
    We've come a long way.
[00:12] Mikazuki
    We have.
[00:12] Mikazuki
    We can't leave our horses
    to rot in the stables forever,
[00:16] Mikazuki
    lest they prove useless
    when needed most in battle.
[00:20] Yamanbagiri
    Still, I don't see why we had to
    do this so early in the morning.
[00:26] Mikazuki
    So long as we were traveling anyway,
    there was something I wanted to see.
[00:35] Mutsunokami
    Wow, this is quite the view.
[00:38] Kasen
    The very definition of scenic beauty.
[00:41] Kashu
    How many times do you think this sunrise
    has happened since the start of history?
[00:46] Hachisuka
    I've never kept count.
    Though I guess nobody has.
[00:51] Mikazuki
    It doesn't matter,
    because it's still beautiful.
[00:55] Mikazuki
    I won't ask for more.

[02:53] Shokudaikiri
    Are you okay, Hasebe-kun?
[02:55] Tsurumaru
    You don't seem to be at your best.
[02:57] Hasebe
    There's no problem. I'm the same as ever.
[03:02] Tsurumaru
    It's not good to push yourself too hard.
[03:05] Shokudaikiri
    Yeah. Overwork can have the opposite effect.
[03:08] Hasebe
    I said there's no problem. Here I come!
[03:19] (Flashback) Fudou
    I don't remember seeing you with Nobunaga.
[03:23] (Flashback) Fudou
    Oh, did we just miss each other?
[03:29] (Flashback) Fudou
    That man treated me very well.
[03:33] (Flashback) Fudou
    And yet I couldn't protect him
    in his final moments.
[03:38] Hasebe
    Screw Oda Nobunaga!
[03:48] Hasebe
    Sorry, but I'm going to have to call it a day.
[03:52] Souza
    Oh...
[03:53] Souza
    Hasebe.
[03:55] Shokudaikiri
    I see.
[03:57] Tsurumaru
    Yeah, not at his best.

[04:15] (Flashback) Nagamasa
    Is this it?
[04:17] (Flashback) Kanbei
    Yes.
[04:18] (Flashback) Kanbei
    Lord Nobunaga gifted it to me as a reward
    for my contributions in the Mori conflict.
[04:24] (Flashback) Nagamasa
    But Father, you aren't his retainer.
    And yet he gave you this treasure?
[04:28] (Flashback) Kanbei
    The Heshikiri Blade...
[04:30] (Flashback) Kanbei
    When one of Lord Nobunaga's pages insulted him,
[04:33] (Flashback) Kanbei
    it's said that it cut him through
    the cupboard he was hiding under.
[04:37] (Flashback) Kanbei
    For its master, it cuts even
    that which cannot be cut.
[04:40] (Flashback) Kanbei
    A fiercely loyal partner.

    Akechi Hyuga-no-Kami Mitsuhide
    has rebelled at Honnoji Temple!
[04:52] (Flashback) Kurodaretainer
    Lord Oda Nobunaga has been killed!
[04:55] (Flashback) Kanbei
    What?!
[05:08] Fudou
    "Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy,
[05:11] Fudou
    and Niwa Nagahide, all three are mine!"
[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!
