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    Touken Ranbu -Kai- Kyoden SIGN    Honnoji Temple, June 20th, Tensho 10 (1582) 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!
