[00:01] Ranmaru
    Who's there?!
[00:04] Ranmaru
    You're the ones from before...
[00:06] Ranmaru
    You knaves!
[00:12] Ranmaru
    What are you doing?
[00:14] Ranmaru
    Let me go... Unhand me!
[00:37] General
    No wonder our lord chose them to put on a show.
[00:40] General 2
    This is very impressive!
[00:50] Ranmaru
    Mitsuhide-sama.
[00:53] Mitsuhide
    Oh, if it isn't Ranmaru.
[00:55] Ranmaru
    I didn't know you were here.
[00:58] Mitsuhide
    Our lord summoned me
    to entertain a court noble.
[01:02] Ranmaru
    Is that so?
[01:04] Mitsuhide
    How beautiful is the camellia in late bloom.
[01:09] Mitsuhide
    Unlike you, I am old and
    won't live for much longer.
[01:14] Mitsuhide
    But I hope I can make
    flowers bloom in the afterlife.
[01:17] Ranmaru
    Camellia...
[01:19] Ranmaru
    These flowers are said to be
    a bad omen for warriors,
[01:23] Ranmaru
    for the way they fall
    reminds one of a beheading.
[01:28] Ranmaru
    I can't say I'm too fond of them, either.
[01:32] Mitsuhide
    A flower bears no sin.
[01:35] Ranmaru
    Indeed. But they do put
    bad thoughts in my mind.
[01:40] Ranmaru
    Like something sad is about to happen...
[01:44] Mitsuhide
    Is something the matter?
[01:47] Ranmaru
    No, nothing. I shall take my leave now.
[02:03] Mitsuhide
    Oda Nobunaga, whose head will it be?
[02:07] Mitsuhide
    Will it be my head that falls,
    or will it be yours?

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