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!"

SIGN Episode Five
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!
