[00:20] Yasuke
    Our dark friends...
[00:33] Yamanbagiri
    I forgot you were present
    for the Honnoji Incident.
[00:38] Yasuke
    Who are you people?
[00:56] Yamanbagiri
    While it has already happened for me,
    I suppose you'll only find out later.
[01:02] Yamanbagiri
    Yasuke.
[01:03] Yamanbagiri
    You are not meant to die here.
[01:05] Yamanbagiri
    Go. Run away from this place and survive.
[01:15] Yamanbagiri
    The Honnoji Incident...
[01:17] Yamanbagiri
    Some are fated to die here,
    while others must survive.
[01:22] Yamanbagiri
    Oda Nobunaga is one who has to die.
[01:26] Yamanbagiri
    That's what the history books say.

    For Whom the Flower Blooms
[03:07] Ranmaru
    You choose to aid Mitsuhide?
[03:12] Ranmaru
    Then I deem you...
[03:16] Ranmaru
    my enemies!
[03:40] Ranmaru
    Why must you stop me?!
[03:42] Souza
    We cannot let Akechi Mitsuhide die here,
[03:47] Souza
    regardless of what lies in store.
[03:52] Souza
    Let us handle this,
    and go see your cause to fruition.
[03:58] Mitsuhide
    I know not who you are, but you have my thanks.
[04:15] Yagen
    What is he?
[04:18] Ranmaru
    Out of my way.
[04:22] Mikazuki
    According to history, Mori Ranmaru
    should already have been killed in action.
[04:28] Yagen
    Then this Ranmaru here...
[04:31] Ranmaru
    Out of my way.
[04:34] Hasebe
    ...cannot be alive.
[04:37] Ranmaru
    Begone!
[04:47] Yagen
    Here they come in droves again.
[04:51] Souza
    It doesn't matter how many there are.
[04:54] Souza
    We must cut them all down!
[05:20] Mikazuki
    Fudou?
[05:21] Ranmaru
    I will rend all that stands in my way.
[05:34] Ranmaru
    Mitsuhide...
[05:36] Fudou
    Wait, Ranmaru!
[05:38] Mikazuki
    Fudou Yukimitsu.
[05:41] Mikazuki
    I see.
[05:43] Mikazuki
    I suppose I will have to
    deal with you all first.
[05:58] Fudou
    Not now!
[06:01] Fudou
    I don't have time to deal with you.
[06:04] Fudou
    Not right now!
[06:08] Fudou
    Ranmaru!
[06:14] Mitsuhide
    Where is he?
[06:16] Mitsuhide
    Where is he?
[06:18] Mitsuhide
    Where is he?!
[06:20] Mitsuhide
    Oda Nobunaga...
[06:23] Mitsuhide
    Where could he be?
[06:46] Ranmaru
    Milord...
[06:50] Fudou
    Please wait!
[07:02] Fudou
    Ranmaru...
[07:06] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Oh, dear. It appears you
    caught me lost in thought.
[07:10] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Well...
[07:11] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    Milord bestowed this sword to me.
[07:14] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    Is that... Fudou Yukimitsu?
[07:18] (Flashback) Mitsuhide
    That sword is no keepsake.
    Cherish it for the rest of your life.
[07:23] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    "Fudou Yukimitsu, Tsukumogami the tea caddy,
[07:27] (Flashback) Ranmaru
    and Niwa Nagahide, all three are mine!"
[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!
