[00:22] Hasebe
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro is supposed
    to be the Attendant.
[00:25] Hasebe
    I cannot usurp his position just like that.
[00:29] Saniwa
    Surely you have realized by now.
[00:31] Saniwa
    This is a request from Yamanbagiri Kunihiro
    himself. He wants to resign as Attendant.
[00:52] Midare
    Well? How's it going inside?
[00:54] Atsushi
    Shh! Keep it down!
[00:56] Mikazuki
    Oh, what's happening? Why are all of you here?
[01:00] Kashuu
    Well, you see...
[01:14] Yamanbagiri
    What are you doing?
[01:17] Kashuu
    Uh, how do we explain this?
[01:20] Mutsunokami
    What did Master say?
[01:24] Hachisuka
    Hey!
[01:26] Kasen
    Not looking good, huh?
[01:27] Konnosuke
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro has offered
    to resign from his post of Attendant.
[01:32] Yamabushi
    Brother did?
[01:34] Horikawa
    But why?
[01:35] Konnosuke
    Master picked Heshikiri Hasebe
    to be his successor.
[01:40] Jiroutachi
    Hasebe as Attendant, huh?
[01:42] Nakigitsune
    And? Did you accept?
[01:46] Hasebe
    I needed time to think, so I asked
    that I be allowed to sleep on it.
[01:58] Shokudaikiri
    Hey, Hasebe-kun.
[02:01] Shokudaikiri
    We heard that you were appointed Attendant.
[02:04] Tsurumaru
    Congrats on the promotion...
    is what I'd say, in other circumstances.
[02:08] Doudanuki
    You don't seem too pleased about it.
[02:12] Hasebe
    Obviously.
[02:13] Yamabushi
    Normally, being appointed Attendant
    should be cause for celebration...
[02:18] Tsurumaru
    ...but coming on the heels
    of Yamanbagiri's resignation?
[02:22] Shokudaikiri
    Your pride won't let you accept
    being second choice?
[02:25] Hasebe
    That's not the problem.
[02:27] Hasebe
    I feel partly responsible for driving
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro into such a corner.
[02:34] Hasebe
    Yamabushi Kunihiro, Doudanuki Masakuni.
    You two must know where I'm coming from.
[02:39] Doudanuki
    Yeah. We were with you guys when it happened.
SIGN    Tensho 18 (1590)
    Odawara, Sagami Province
[02:51] (Flashback) Honebami
    Slash!
[03:07] Yamabushi
    That wasn't Brother's fault.
[03:10] Doudanuki
    We were simply too weak, is all.
[03:13] Doudanuki
    So we gotta get stronger.
[03:16] Shokudaikiri
    All of us, together.
[03:18] Tsurumaru
    That's right.
[03:19] Tsurumaru
    Everyone here in this Citadel
    needs to grow stronger as a group.
[03:22] Yamabushi
    Yes.
[03:24] Yamabushi
    We need to make sure Brother
    doesn't feel solely responsible.
[03:28] Ookurikara
    I don't know about that.
[03:33] Tsurumaru
    Heya, Kara-boy. Not every day
    you voluntarily join a conversation.
[03:40] Ookurikara
    We're not here to make friends.
    We exist to fight.
[03:45] Ookurikara
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro made a tactical error
    and nearly got his squad wiped out.
[03:50] Ookurikara
    It's only natural that he resigned.
[03:54] Ookurikara
    And you, Heshikiri Hasebe.
[03:56] Ookurikara
    Master appointed you.
    Isn't it your duty to fulfill their orders?
[04:01] Hasebe
    I'm aware of that, of course.
[04:03] Ookurikara
    Then what reason do you have to waver?
[04:10] Tsurumaru
    Anyway, Hasebe is Attendant now.
    That's happy news.
[04:15] Shokudaikiri
    We need to celebrate.
[04:18] Doudanuki
    Celebrate how?
[04:25] Hasebe
    When did you build this?
[04:27] Shokudaikiri
    I figured our Citadel needed
    an oasis for the soul,
[04:30] Shokudaikiri
    so I got permission from
    Master and built this—
[04:33] Shokudaikiri
    a Mitsutada-made bar counter!
[04:37] Tsurumaru
    Oh, looks like you've got a whole
    collection of rare booze.
[04:52] Hasebe
    I get that being appointed Attendant is
    a huge honor. I can't possibly turn it down.
[04:59] Hasebe
    But I can't ignore
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro's state.
[05:04] Hasebe
    I can't let him be a disgraced loser.
[05:07] Tsurumaru
    So you're stuck between your loyalty to
    Master and your bond with Yamanbagiri?
[05:13] Doudanuki
    That's surprising, coming from you.
    You always put Master first in everything.
[05:18] Yamabushi
    Hasebe-dono...
[05:20] Tsurumaru
    Well, it certainly is pointless to stay
    upset about a lost battle forever.
[05:24] Hasebe
    What am I supposed to do?
[05:26] Yamabushi
    Oh, don't you worry. Brother will be fine.
[05:30] Yamabushi
    No matter how many times he stumbles,
    he will always get back on his feet.
[06:01] Mikazuki
    I admit defeat.
[06:04] Mikazuki
    As a sword, I am positively ancient,
    but I have only recently manifested.
[06:09] Mikazuki
    You have me handily beat
    in real combat experience.
[06:13] Mikazuki
    I must grow stronger.
    I hope you will continue to spar with me.
[06:20] Mikazuki
    Hm? What's the matter?
    Is there something on my face?
[06:25] Yamanbagiri
    What's the point of comparing one of
    the Five Great Swords to a mere copy?
[06:32] Maeda
    I wonder what happened to Yamanbagiri-san.
[06:35] Honebami
    He must have a lot going on.
[06:44] Hasebe
    So what if you're a copy?
[06:46] Yamanbagiri
    You heard that?
[06:48] Hasebe
    Why'd you resign as Attendant?
[06:50] Yamanbagiri
    It's none of your concern.
[06:52] Hasebe
    Of course it is!
[06:55] Yamanbagiri
    Don't expect great things
    from a copy, basically.
[06:58] Hasebe
    If you say you're a copy,
[07:00] Hasebe
    I was one that was handed down to
    someone who wasn't even a direct retainer.
[07:04] Hasebe
    But I don't intend to use that
    as an excuse to run away!
[07:08] Hasebe
    I'm going to gratefully accept Master's
    appointment to Attendant, okay?!
[07:14] Yamanbagiri
    Sure. I know you'll be up to the task.
[07:20] Hasebe
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro...
[07:22] Hasebe
    I will never accept your
    abandoning the Attendant post!
[07:38] Uguisumaru
    Those aren't quite ready to harvest yet.
[07:41] Yamanbagiri
    Is that so? Sorry about that.
[07:48] Hirano
    Why do you call yourself
    a geezer, Mikazuki-san?
[07:54] Mikazuki
    No special reason. I was a sword
    forged in the Heian period, is all.
[08:00] Mikazuki
    In this Citadel, though, I am still a newcomer.
[08:03] Midare
    So we're your senpai, huh?
[08:05] Midare
    Then we'll protect you when we sortie together.
[08:11] Mikazuki
    Yes, please do.
[08:14] Mikazuki
    That aside, Hotarumaru
    sure is taking his sweet time.
[08:17] Akita
    Hotarumaru-san?
[08:18] Mikazuki
    Yes. I invited him to have some tea together.
[08:24] Tonbokiri
    If you're looking for Hotarumaru-dono,
    he was sent on an expedition.
[08:28] Mikazuki
    Oh, an expedition?
[08:30] Otegine
    Yeah. Apparently we detected some
    suspicious movements in one time period.
[08:35] Otegine
    Master ordered him to go
    scout it out with Nikkari Aoe.
SIGN    Tensho 10 (1582)
    Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle
[08:46] Hotarumaru
    The Hashiba forces have the castle surrounded.
[08:49] Hotarumaru
    There's no way out.
[08:51] Aoe
    With Takeda dead after the Invasion of Koshu,
[08:54] Aoe
    Nobunaga was one step away from
    uniting the nation under his rule.
[08:58] Aoe
    He then ordered Hideyoshi to attack the
    Chugoku region, ruled by Mori Terumoto.
[09:05] Aoe
    And Bitchu-Takamatsu, under the command
    of Shimizu Muneharu—a Mori retainer—
[09:10] Aoe
    is a stronghold of note.
[09:12] Aoe
    But, surrounded by the Hashiba army
[09:15] Aoe
    and forced to defend a siege,
    it's only a matter of time until it falls.
[09:18] Aoe
    So far, everything's going
    according to history.
[09:21] Aoe
    What's the matter?
[09:23] Hotarumaru
    Is that...
[09:26] Hotarumaru
    Yep, it's them. The Time Retrograde Army.
[09:29] Hotarumaru
    They're scouting out the Hashiba army.
[09:33] Aoe
    Let's go.
[09:34] Hotarumaru
    Yep.
[09:41] Hotarumaru
    There.
[09:44] Aoe
    Smile... the Nikkari way.
[10:05] Hotarumaru
    Ta-da!
[10:07] Hotarumaru
    My sure-kill move!
[10:11] Aoe
    Just two enemies?
[10:13] Hotarumaru
    They must've been a recon unit,
    not a proper squad.
[10:18] Aoe
    We should report in to the Citadel.
[10:25] Shokudaikiri
    Kept you waiting!
[10:27] Shokudaikiri
    I've brought you Mitsutada's special ohagi!
[10:29] Shokudaikiri
    Nothing better for a war council.
[10:32] Doudanuki
    Not ohagi again.
[10:33] Shokudaikiri
    I tried sprinkling soy flour on today's.
[10:36] Mikazuki
    Now this looks quite enticing.
[10:39] Ichigo
    Yeah, this is great.
[10:41] Tsurumaru
    Well, Hasebe? Want to try some?
[10:44] Hasebe
    I'm good.
[10:46] Shokudaikiri
    Would you have preferred just bean paste?
[10:49] Hasebe
    We're here for a war council.
    I'll have the snacks later.
[10:53] Mikazuki
    Is that so? Then let us get back on topic.
[10:59] Tsurumaru
    Basically...
[11:01] Tsurumaru
    It's likely the enemy isn't targeting
    Shimizu Muneharu in Bitchu-Takamatsu,
[11:07] Tsurumaru
    but rather Hashiba Hideyoshi?
[11:10] Aoe
    Yeah. They were scouting
    the Hashiba camp, after all.
[11:15] Ishikirimaru
    Considering his historical importance,
[11:18] Ishikirimaru
    it would make sense for them
    to go after Hashiba Hideyoshi.
[11:22] Doudanuki
    Then we'll just sortie and cut them down.
[11:25] Doudanuki
    Manba, report to Master right away.
[11:28] Doudanuki
    Oh, right. You're not the Attendant anymore.
[11:33] Yamabushi
    What do you say, Hasebe-dono?
[11:36] Hasebe
    I haven't accepted the position yet.
[11:40] Mikazuki
    I would not mind taking over for you.
[11:45] Mikazuki
    That is, if you won't do it, Heshikiri Hasebe.
[11:52] Tsurumaru
    What's up? Bathroom break?
[11:54] Hasebe
    No. I'm going to see Master.
[11:59] Tsurumaru
    Looks like he's finally up to doing it.
[12:03] Mikazuki
    Excellent, excellent.
[12:07] Saniwa
    I see. I understand the report
    from Nikkari Aoe's squad.
[12:13] Saniwa
    That aside, have you thought about my offer?
[12:18] Hasebe
    I have. Thanks to that, I couldn't
    get a moment of sleep last night.
[12:22] Saniwa
    Then tell me how you feel.
[12:28] Hasebe
    I appreciate your gracious offer
    to make me your Attendant.
[12:41] Saniwa
    Then, Heshikiri Hasebe,
[12:43] Saniwa
    do you have any problems with
    becoming Attendant at this Citadel?
[12:47] Hasebe
    No. How could I ever?
[12:51] Hasebe
    Should you wish it,
[12:53] Hasebe
    I will gladly accept the role.
[12:56] Saniwa
    Now, I'm sorry this is so sudden, but I want
    you to take charge of the next mission.
[13:01] Hasebe
    Yes.
[13:02] Saniwa
    Squad 1, led by Attendant Heshikiri Hasebe,
    will be comprised of:
[13:08] Saniwa
    Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
[13:11] Saniwa
    Shokudaikiri Mitsutada.
[13:14] Saniwa
    Doudanuki Masakuni.
[13:17] Saniwa
    Ookurikara.
[13:20] Saniwa
    And lastly...
[13:21] Hasebe
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[13:24] Hasebe
    I request that you include Yamanbagiri
    Kunihiro in the squad for this mission.
[13:33] Saniwa
    Heshikiri Hasebe...
[13:35] Saniwa
    I see you are a kind sword.
[13:38] Hasebe
    I realize this is a selfish request.
[13:41] Hasebe
    And I apologize for it.
[13:42] Saniwa
    No need to apologize.
[13:44] Saniwa
    I'm sure you're up to the task.
[13:47] Hasebe
    Your words honor me.
[13:51] Hasebe
    And? Where are we deploying this time?
SIGN    TOUKEN RANBU KAI DOUDEN
SIGN    Tensho 10 (1582)
    Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle
[14:20] Ookurikara
    When will the enemy make their move?
[14:23] Yamanbagiri
    Probably in the middle of the
    Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu.
[14:28] Ookurikara
    That castle is going to be flooded, right?
    We'll have to fight on water.
[14:33] Yamanbagiri
    Worried?
[14:35] Ookurikara
    I'll just cut down any enemies in my way.
    You're the same, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[14:40] Ookurikara
    You may not be Attendant anymore,
    but surely you can still fight.
[14:44] Yamanbagiri
    Yeah.
[14:51] Doudanuki
    Man...
[14:53] Doudanuki
    Damming the river to flood the
    castle itself is a real daring move.
[14:59] Tsurumaru
    There are many ways to fight a war.
[15:02] Tsurumaru
    We should be taking notes ourselves.
[15:04] Laborer
    Hey, newbies! Quit standing
    around and get to work!
[15:07] Doudanuki
    Shut up! Yeah, we'll get to it! Happy now?
[15:11] Tsurumaru
    First, we infiltrate the locals
    and gather information.
[15:24] Kanbei
    After Bessho Nagaharu at Miki Castle
    and Yoshikawa Tsuneie at Tottori Castle,
[15:29] Kanbei
    it is time to take Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle,
    ruled by Shimizu Muneharu.
[15:35] Hasebe
    That voice... It must be Kuroda Kanbei.
[15:37] Kanbei
    If we fell this castle,
    we'll be one step away from Mori.
[15:42] Hideyoshi
    Five years since I was
    ordered to take Chugoku...
[15:45] Hideyoshi
    This long battle with Mori will soon be over.
[15:48] Hideyoshi
    And once we conquer Shikoku and Kyushu,
[15:51] Hideyoshi
    Nobunaga-sama will finally unite
    the nation under his rule.
[15:57] Nagamasa
    Hashiba-sama?
[15:58] Hideyoshi
    I was a mere foot soldier,
    but Nobunaga-sama helped me get this far!
[16:04] Hideyoshi
    I'll be able to witness his unification
    of the nation while I'm still alive!
[16:09] Hideyoshi
    How blessed am I!
[16:12] Kanbei
    Yes, Tensho 10 will go down as the year
    Oda Nobunaga-sama unified the nation.
[16:18] Kanbei
    It will be spoken of in history books
    for generations to come.
[16:22] Shokudaikiri
    Are you okay, Hasebe-kun?
[16:26] Hasebe
    Given that we know what'll happen in
    the near future, this is all very ironic.
[16:43] Retainer A
    Gah! Have we not found Nobunaga's body yet?!
[16:46] Retainer B
    Yes. Perhaps it burned together
    with the inner temple.
[16:51] Retainer A
    We don't need your guesses right now.
[16:53] Retainer A
    We must find Nobunaga's corpse
    and take his head at all costs!
[16:57] Retainer B
    Sir!
[16:59] Retainer C
    My lord.
[17:00] Mitsuhide
    What is it?
[17:01] Retainer C
    One of our men spotted a few of Oda's
    people escaping Honnoji in the chaos.
[17:06] Mitsuhide
    Was Nobunaga one of them?
[17:08] Retainer C
    No. They were women and children,
    and a foreign man.
[17:11] Mitsuhide
    Ignore them. We don't have time
    to deal with the riff-raff.
[17:15] Mitsuhide
    There is no turning back.
[17:17] Mitsuhide
    I, Akechi Mitsuhide, will rule the nation now.
[17:46] Hasebe
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[17:48] Yamanbagiri
    Look.
[17:56] Hasebe
    Rain?
[17:57] Tsurumaru
    Oh, the perfect day to flood a castle.
[18:00] Doudanuki
    Will the Time Retrograde Army make their move?
[18:03] Yamanbagiri
    Probably.
[18:04] Shokudaikiri
    So it begins.
[18:09] Hasebe
    Yes.
[18:10] Hasebe
    It's the Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu.
[18:20] Soldier
    Hurry!
[18:21] Soldier
    This is our golden chance!
    The river has risen thanks to the rain!
[18:24] Soldier
    Make sure we finish in time!
[18:30] Kanbei
    Normally, Bitchu-Takamatsu
    is an impregnable fortress
[18:32] Kanbei
    due to its location by the Ashimori River
    and being surrounded by marshes.
[18:37] Hideyoshi
    We flip the script by flooding it
    to isolate it from land completely.
[18:43] Hideyoshi
    Not to mention building an embankment
    in a mere twelve days.
[18:48] Hideyoshi
    Kanbei, such an ingenious strategy
    could only come from your brilliant mind.
[18:52] Kanbei
    A strategy only exists on paper
    until it is successfully executed.
[18:56] Kanbei
    It was you, Hideyoshi-sama,
    who helped propel it to completion.
[19:00] Hideyoshi
    The Shimizu army can do nothing anymore.
[19:03] Hideyoshi
    This long siege is finally coming to an end.
[19:08] Nagamasa
    Father!
[19:09] Kanbei
    What is it?
[19:11] Nagamasa
    One of the scaffoldings used
    to build the dam has collapsed.
[19:15] Kanbei
    What?
[19:16] Nagamasa
    Several of our laborers are
    being swept away by the river!
[19:25] Labourer
    Help!
[19:30] Hasebe
    Konnosuke.
[19:33] Hasebe
    Give me the historical impact of the
     construction workers being swept away.
[19:37] Konnosuke
    One moment.
[19:40] Konnosuke
    It seems those men wield very
    little influence over history.
[19:44] Tsurumaru
    That means it won't be a
    problem if we save them.
[19:47] Shokudaikiri
    Let's get going, then!
[20:16] Shokudaikiri
    Are you okay?
[20:18] Labourer A
    Thanks. You saved my life.
[20:20] Labourer B
    We would've drowned if you hadn't shown up.
[20:23] Tsurumaru
    Oh, no need to thank us.
[20:26] Doudanuki
    Yeah. It served as a good workout, too.
[20:30] Ookurikara
    Hey.
[20:38] Doudanuki
    Not very welcoming, eh?
    We just saved these guys, too.
[20:43] Kanbei
    Haven't seen you men around before.
[20:45] Nagamasa
    Are you with the enemy?
[20:48] Yamanbagiri
    These two...
[20:49] Tsurumaru
    Yeah, it's Kuroda Kanbei and his son Nagamasa.
[20:53] Shokudaikiri
    I see.
[20:55] Doudanuki
    What do you want with us?
[20:57] Kanbei
    That's what we want to ask you.
[21:00] Kanbei
    What were you doing in our camp?
[21:02] Kanbei
    Were you trying to delay the operation
    by destroying the embankment?
[21:07] Doudanuki
    Huh? Why would we do something like that?
[21:10] Labourer B
    Please, samurai!
[21:11] Labourer B
    These men saved our lives!
[21:14] Labourer C
    They threw themselves into
    that dangerous current for us!
[21:17] Labourer A
    If they really are with the enemy,
    why would they save us?
[21:20] Kanbei
    They could've caused the collapse themselves
    and saved you to gain our trust.
[21:25] Kanbei
    That way they can catch us unawares.
[21:28] Kanbei
    If it were me, I would at least
    consider pulling the strings to do that.
[21:32] Doudanuki
    What, you wanna say we should've let them die?!
[21:36] Tsurumaru
    Now, calm down, Doudanuki.
[21:39] Kanbei
    Allow me to thank you for saving our workers.
[21:42] Kanbei
    However, I cannot let you leave just like that.
[21:47] Kanbei
    The Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu
    is reaching its most crucial stage.
[21:50] Kanbei
    I cannot let us be fooled by
    the enemy's strategy right now.
[21:53] Nagamasa
    Apprehend them.
[21:54] Soldiers
    Sir.
[21:57] Hasebe
    Hey, Ookurikara!
[21:58] Shokudaikiri
    Not now, Kara-chan.
[22:00] Ookurikara
    If they're going to impede our mission,
    we must get rid of them.
[22:04] Yamanbagiri
    We can't take out Kuroda Kanbei
    and Nagamasa here.
[22:07] Ookurikara
    But that doesn't mean we
    have to let them capture us.
[22:13] Soldier
    He's running!
[22:18] Hasebe
    Ookurikara!
[22:19] Hasebe
    What is he doing?
[22:21] Tsurumaru
    Mitsu-boy, get him!
[22:22] Shokudaikiri
    Got it, Tsuru-san. Leave Kara-chan to me.
[22:27] Soldier
    Don't let them escape! After them!
[22:28] Hasebe
    No need to go after them.
[22:31] Hasebe
    Two men won't hurt you.
    You can capture the rest of us.
[22:34] Doudanuki
    Yeah, we won't run or hide.
    If you're gonna apprehend us, do it already.
[22:39] Nagamasa
    Father... What do we do?
[22:42] Kanbei
    Throw them in the jail for now.
[22:51] Doudanuki
    We'll have to wait and see, huh?
[22:54] Tsurumaru
    The enemy hasn't made their move yet.
    Let's take our time and scope things out.
[23:08] Soldiers
    Whoa!
[23:09] Soldiers
    Help!
[23:10] Soldiers
    I'm drowning!
[23:11] Soldiers
    Somebody... Please help!
[23:13] Kanbei
    Like a palace on the water, eh?
[23:17] Hideyoshi
    If we weren't at war, I would want to
    have a drink with this beautiful backdrop.
[23:24] Kanbei
    Build a dam on the Ashimori River,
    and direct the water to the castle...
[23:29] Kanbei
    The plan seems to have worked.
[23:31] Hideyoshi
    Kanbei, you brilliant strategist.
    You made this happen.
[23:35] Kanbei
    We were lucky that the continuous
    rain raised the river's level.
[23:41] Kanbei
    Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle is
    basically on its own island now.
[23:44] Kanbei
    It won't be easy for them
    to fight or flee like that.
[23:49] Hideyoshi
    The Chugoku invasion that Nobunaga-sama
    ordered has taken me five years,
[23:54] Hideyoshi
    and it will soon be over. You have my thanks.
[23:57] Kanbei
    What are you saying, Hashiba Hideyoshi-sama?
[24:01] Kanbei
    The valor belongs to you alone.
[24:03] Kanbei
    If I were serving any other lord, I couldn't have
    put such a daring strategy into motion.
[24:08] Kanbei
    When Nobunaga-sama unites
    the country for good,
[24:12] Kanbei
    the long-lasting strife of the
    Sengoku Period will finally end.
[24:15] Kanbei
    But it makes me sad.
[24:18] Kanbei
    Sad?
[24:19] Hideyoshi
    I've faced many a battle together with
    Nobunaga-sama, dreaming of uniting the nation.
[24:24] Hideyoshi
    That dreamlike time will soon come to an end.
[24:28] Hideyoshi
    One is happiest when chasing
     the dream, don't you think?
[24:32] Kanbei
    Don't you wish to take
    the country for yourself?
[24:37] Hideyoshi
    What?
[24:39] Kanbei
    The thought that you too would make
    for a fine ruler refuses to leave my mind.
[24:43] Hideyoshi
    Kanbei, remember that we were born
    in the time of the great Oda Nobunaga.
[24:49] Hideyoshi
    His dream is my dream, too.
[24:53] Kanbei
    My apologies. Pay no heed to my words just now.
[24:57] Kanbei
    Please forget them.
[24:58] Hideyoshi
    That aside, I heard that you captured some
    suspicious men at the construction site.
[25:05] Kanbei
    Yes. I had them confined so
    that they wouldn't get away.
[25:11] Hideyoshi
    Are they with Mori?
[25:13] Kanbei
    I hope to find out by
    interrogating them shortly.
[25:15] Hideyoshi
    How will the Mori forces react
    now that they've been cornered?
[25:19] Hideyoshi
    Victory is within sight. All the more
    reason for us to exercise utmost caution.
[25:23] Hideyoshi
    See to it.
[25:24] Kanbei
    Sir.
[25:28] Tsurumaru
    We just made it to this time period.
[25:32] Tsurumaru
    Who woulda thought we'd immediately
    get captured and thrown in jail?
[25:35] Doudanuki
    We could break out of here in no time, though.
[25:39] Doudanuki
    So? What's the plan, Captain?
[25:43] Hasebe
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, what would you do?
[25:47] Yamanbagiri
    Why ask me?
[25:49] Yamanbagiri
    You make the call.
[25:51] Yamanbagiri
    We'll just follow your orders.
[25:55] Hasebe
    How long are you going to
    keep moping like this?!
[25:59] Yamanbagiri
    What do you mean?
[26:02] Hasebe
    Remember...
[26:04] Hasebe
    I will not accept this!
[26:16] Ookurikara
    Look.
[26:21] Shokudaikiri
    Oh, boy...
[26:23] Shokudaikiri
    Looks like the enemy's making their move, too.
[26:25] Shokudaikiri
    Are you planning on fighting them alone?
[26:29] Ookurikara
    Heshikiri Hasebe and Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[26:33] Ookurikara
    Heshikiri Hasebe is trying to use this mission
[26:36] Ookurikara
    to get Yamanbagiri Kunihiro back
    on his feet after his last defeat.
[26:40] Shokudaikiri
    Yeah...
[26:42] Shokudaikiri
    You may be right.
[26:44] Ookurikara
    But we fight to defend history, nothing else.
[26:48] Ookurikara
    The Citadel's not a place for friendship.
[26:51] Shokudaikiri
    It's not like Hasebe-kun and
    Yamanbagiri-kun don't understand that.
[26:56] Ookurikara
    Then what are they doing?
[26:58] Shokudaikiri
    They're fighting frantically to grow
    stronger than they are now.
[27:04] Shokudaikiri
    You don't seem convinced.
    But you're fine that way, Kara-chan.
[27:09] Shokudaikiri
    I can't let you go alone.
    We can't afford to lose you.
[27:13] Shokudaikiri
    Let's regroup with Hasebe-kun's
    squad and report this.
[27:17] Shokudaikiri
    This isn't friendship. It's teamwork.
[27:20] Shokudaikiri
    That's essential in battle, don't you think?
[27:25] Shokudaikiri
    I knew you would understand, Kara-chan.
[27:28] Ookurikara
    Tch. Let's get going already.
SIGN    Main Keep
    Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle
[27:34] Muneharu
    I never imagined they would use
    the Ashimori River to flood us.
[27:39] Muneharu
    Only Kuroda Kanbei could have
    come up with such a plan.
[27:43] Retainer 1
    The flooding has completely
    broken our supply lines.
[27:47] Retainer 1
    If the castle runs out of
    weaponry or provisions,
[27:50] Retainer 1
    we stand no chance of victory!
[27:53] Muneharu
    You think I would lose to
    Nobunaga's little lap monkey?!
[27:58] Retainer 2
    But my lord, our hands are tied.
[28:02] Retainer 3
    At this rate, our men will
    simply be waiting to die!
[28:06] Muneharu
    Curse you, Hideyoshi. Curse you, Kanbei.
[28:10] Muneharu
    What do I do? What can I do to fight back?
[28:15] Retainer 1
    Who's there?!
[28:19] Retainer 2
    A-A monster?!
[28:22] Retainer 1
    W... We... We are on your side.
[28:28] Retainer 1
    We help you.
[28:30] Retainer 1
    We help you... survive.
[28:34] Retainer 3
    What the hell is this?!
[28:36] Retainer 2
    Is the monster making him speak?!
[28:42] Muneharu
    If all I can do is wait for
    my death, I might as well.
[28:46] Muneharu
    I don't care if you're monsters or whatever.
[28:48] Muneharu
    If you're offering to side with me,
    I accept your offer.
[28:53] Retainer 1
    We will help you win.
[28:58] Munharu
    Then I order you...
[29:00] Munharu
    Kill Hashiba Hideyoshi.
[29:06] Hasebe
    We deployed in the
    Battle of Odawara before.
[29:10] Hasebe
    We were soundly defeated that time.
[29:15] Hasebe
    The one who was controlling the Time
    Retrograde Army from the shadows back then
[29:21] Hasebe
    was Kuroda Kanbei.
[29:23] Hasebe
    And this Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu
    takes place before the one at Odawara.
[29:28] Hasebe
    If we handle this right,
    we may be able to cancel that defeat.
[29:32] Tsurumaru
    Needless meddling will only mess
    up the complex web of timelines.
[29:38] Tsurumaru
    I'm pretty sure you're
    fully aware of that, though.
[29:42] Hasebe
    Yeah. Just wanted to put it out there.
[29:48] Tsurumaru
    Hey, if it isn't Kuroda Kanbei.
[29:52] Doudanuki
    How long are you gonna
    keep us locked up in here?
[29:56] Doudanuki
    My body's growing rusty.
[30:01] Doudanuki
    Out. I need to talk to you.
[30:07] Doudanuki
    Is this how you treat guests here?
[30:11] Tsurumaru
    Looks like we're still under suspicion.
[30:14] Hasebe
    So what did you want to talk about?
[30:17] Kanbei
    Unifying the nation was said to be an
    impossible dream, but can it really be done?
[30:24] Kanbei
    Every man living in this era
    must've asked himself that once.
[30:28] Kanbei
    One particular man, however,
    is attempting to make it reality.
[30:32] Hasebe
    Oda Nobunaga.
[30:34] Kanbei
    Indeed. He exiled even the Shogun,
[30:37] Kanbei
    took down the opposition including
    the likes of Takeda Shingen,
[30:42] Kanbei
    and is one step away from
    ruling the entire nation.
[30:47] Kanbei
    But it doesn't look like it will be easy.
[30:50] Tsurumaru
    Mori Terumoto sided with the Shogun, right?
[30:54] Kanbei
    You know a lot about this.
[30:56] Kanbei
    In order to take down Mori,
    Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle here must be felled.
[31:02] Kanbei
    We can't have anyone getting
    in our way, not right now.
[31:07] Kanbei
    Who are you people?
[31:09] Kanbei
    Are you with Shimizu Muneharu?
    Or are you direct retainers of the Mori?
[31:13] Doudanuki
    We're not like that.
[31:16] Kanbei
    Then who are you?
[31:17] Kanbei
    You can't tell me that you passed by and
    just happened to help the drowning workers.
[31:22] Tsurumaru
    Actually, yeah, we just happened
    to help the drowning workers.
[31:26] Kanbei
    This is one battle we cannot afford to lose.
[31:30] Kanbei
    Everything we do is for
    Nobunaga-sama's ambition.
[31:32] Kanbei
    Should you stand in its way,
[31:34] Kanbei
    I will cut you down right here and now,
    no matter who you might be.
[31:39] Hasebe
    You seem enamored with Nobunaga.
[31:42] Kanbei
    Of course I am. Have you all met him?
[31:47] Hasebe
    Nah. I don't know or care about Nobunaga.
[31:50] Kanbei
    That's unfortunate.
    You'd understand if you'd met him.
[31:54] Kanbei
    Understand how lucky
    you are to live in his era.
[31:58] Kanbei
    Behold. This is a famed sword
    he gave to me—Heshikiri.
[32:04] Kanbei
    It is my pride and joy.
[32:07] Hasebe
    You're not even his direct retainer.
    It can't be anything special.
[32:13] Kanbei
    No. It must have torn his heart apart
    to give one of his swords to another.
[32:19] Kanbei
    And yet, he bestowed me with one.
[32:22] Kanbei
    That is why I must display
    my unending loyalty to him,
[32:27] Kanbei
    in the name of this sword.
[32:30] Nagamasa
    Father!
[32:32] Kanbei
    What is it?
[32:33] Nagamasa
    Our patrol apprehended a
    messenger headed for Mori.
[32:38] Kanbei
    A messenger?
[32:40] Nagamasa
    This is the letter he was carrying.
[32:53] Kanbei
    Nobunaga-sama... was killed in Honnoji
    in an act of rebellion by Akechi Mitsuhide?
[32:59] Kanbei
    It can't be...
[33:01] Kanbei
    This cannot be happening!
[33:05] Doudanuki
    Ow!
[33:07] Doudanuki
    You could treat us with a
    bit more care, you know!
[33:10] Tsurumaru
    They received word of
    Nobunaga's death in Honnoji, huh?
[33:14] Hasebe
    Yeah. If it goes according to history,
[33:16] Hasebe
    the Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu will be
    brought to a swift conclusion from here.
[33:21] Doudanuki
    And Hideyoshi will retreat from Chugoku
    to take down Akechi Mitsuhide.
[33:32] Hideyoshi
    Nobunaga-sama is dead?
[33:34] Hideyoshi
    Lies. This has to be some kind of mistake!
[33:38] Kanbei
    We have no way of confirming
    this news as of now.
[33:42] Kanbei
    But if it reaches Mori's ears,
    it may change the course of this war.
[33:48] Hideyoshi
    What do you want me to do?
[33:51] Kanbei
    Now is the time to make
    Nobunaga-sama's dream your own.
[33:55] Hideyoshi
    Are you telling me to betray Nobunaga-sama?!
[33:58] Kanbei
    That is not what I mean.
[34:00] Kanbei
    But we cannot let Akechi or Mori take
    over his dream to unite the nation.
[34:06] Kanbei
    In that case, Hashiba Hideyoshi-sama...
[34:08] Kanbei
    It has to be you.
[34:11] Kanbei
    If you are unwilling, then I,
    Kuroda Kanbei, will inherit his dream.
[34:16] Hideyoshi
    Kanbei, you...
[34:19] Kanbei
    What will you do?
[34:21] Hideyoshi
    What will you do after I unify the country?
[34:25] Hideyoshi
    Will you pry it from my hands?
[34:28] Kanbei
    If that's what you believe,
    then cut me down right here and now.
[34:33] Hideyoshi
    Fine. Kanbei... lend me your strength.
[34:38] Hideyoshi
    We'll fell Bitchu-Takamatsu
    at once and return to Kyoto.
[34:42] Hideyoshi
    We must kill the traitor Akechi Mitsuhide.
[34:46] Kanbei
    As you wish.
[34:49] Hideyoshi
    What?!
[34:52] Kanbei
    What is it? Did the Mori attack?
[34:55] Soldier
    M-Monsters...
[34:56] Kanbei
    Monsters?
[35:03] Kanbei
    What is all this?
[35:07] Doudanuki
    It's getting noisy out there.
[35:10] Tsurumaru
    Yeah. Looks like it's begun.
[35:15] Hasebe
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro!
[35:19] Shokudaikiri
    It'd be ideal if we could surprise the
    enemy and go wild, don't you think?
[35:27] Ookurikara
    I'll fight solo. You guys do whatever you want.
[35:31] Doudanuki
    Doesn't feel right without this.
[35:33] Tsurumaru
    We might as well set up an ambush.
[35:39] Hasebe
    I know you can still fight.
[35:53] Tsurumaru
    Okay, the stage is set.
[35:56] Tsurumaru
    Let's get started!
[36:01] Shokudaikiri
    We've got a chance to shine,
    so let's steal the show!
[36:07] Doudanuki
    Sure.
[36:09] Doudanuki
    No matter how sturdy,
    nothing can withstand me!
[36:14] Ookurikara
    Here I go.
[36:36] Hasebe
    I'll handle this. You guys go
    defend Hideyoshi and Kanbei!
[36:40] Kanbei
    Thank you!
[36:50] Hasebe
    Crap!
[36:53] Hasebe
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro!
[37:22] Yamanbagiri
    We're on the back foot.
[37:24] Hasebe
    What would you do?
[37:27] Hasebe
    How do you see this situation?
[37:33] Yamanbagiri
    We may be outnumbered,
    but we're about equal in strength.
[37:38] Yamanbagiri
    I'd choose to fight through this.
[37:40] Hasebe
    We'll do just that, then!
[37:50] Kanbei
    Oh, no! An ambush?
[38:06] Tsurumaru
    Not much of a surprise, I must say.
[38:09] Shokudaikiri
    Glad you're okay.
[38:26] Doudanuki
    That should take care of them.
[38:29] Ookurikara
    I could've handled this myself.
[38:32] Doudanuki
    Don't say that. I'm glad you were with me.
[38:42] Muneharu
    What are you doing? Hideyoshi is still alive!
[38:46] Muneharu
    Send more reinforcements!
[38:48] Retrograde Tachi
    This is over. There are
    other places to alter history.
[38:55] Muneharu
    Wait! Where are you going?
[38:57] Muneharu
    Are you going to abandon me?!
[39:09] Shokudaikiri
    The Hashiba side sent a messenger
    to Bitchu-Takamatsu Castle after that,
[39:13] Shokudaikiri
    and the two sides signed a peace deal.
[39:16] Doudanuki
    But the condition was that the castle lord,
     Shimizu Muneharu, commit seppuku.
[39:22] Doudanuki
    The Sengoku Period was brutal.
[39:25] Tsurumaru
    Muneharu left the castle on a boat,
    wrote his final haiku, and cut himself open.
[39:33] Tsurumaru
    The way samurai live and die
    is always eye-opening.
[39:38] Hasebe
    With this, the Battle of Bitchu-Takamatsu
    concluded as it did in history.
[39:43] Doudanuki
    So that's mission complete.
[39:47] Shokudaikiri
    Let's return to the Citadel
    and report in to Master.
[39:53] Kanbei
    Oh, there you are.
[39:57] Hasebe
    Lord... I mean, Kuroda Kanbei.
[40:03] Doudanuki
    What do you want?
    You gonna throw us in jail again?
[40:08] Kanbei
    Allow me to first apologize.
[40:11] Kanbei
    I'm sorry for suspecting you all.
[40:14] Hasebe
    No need for apologies.
    You didn't know who we might be.
[40:19] Hasebe
    In your position,
    what you did was the right choice.
[40:22] Doudanuki
    So is that all you wanted?
[40:27] Kanbei
    Actually, I have a request to make of you, too.
[40:30] Tsurumaru
    Oh? What kind of request?
[40:33] Kanbei
    The Hashiba army will leave here
    at once and head to Kyoto.
[40:40] Kanbei
    Hideyoshi-sama seeks to avenge
    the death of our lord.
[40:44] Shokudaikiri
    Avenge your lord...
[40:46] Hasebe
    Kill Akechi Mitsuhide, huh?
[40:51] Kanbei
    Yes. And in light of your skills,
    I want you to be his bodyguards.
[40:57] Doudanuki
    Us? Hideyoshi's bodyguards?
[40:59] Kanbei
    With Nobunaga-sama gone,
    we cannot afford to lose him, too.
[41:06] Shokudaikiri
    But we're here on our own master's orders.
[41:10] Shokudaikiri
    We can't accept another mission
    without their permission.
[41:16] Ookurikara
    Hey.
[41:18] Yamanbagiri
    Yeah. Looks like they were trying
    to figure out what we're doing.
[41:22] Yamanbagiri
    Hasebe.
[41:24] Hasebe
    I know. This isn't over yet.
[41:27] Hasebe
    So we'll continue our mission,
    as Master ordered.
[41:46] Doudanuki
    They're not attacking yet.
[41:48] Tsurumaru
    Yeah.
[41:49] Shokudai
    But they are keeping an eye on us.
[41:53] Ookurikara
    We're wasting time as bodyguards.
[41:55] Ookurikara
    We can just go on the attack ourselves.
[41:57] Hasebe
    Wait. It'd be risky to act when we
    don't know what the enemy is planning.
[42:02] Hasebe
    Who knows what kind of trap
    they might have set?
[42:05] Shokudaikiri
    Either way, it's unlikely that this
    will go down without incident.
[42:23] Shokudaikiri
    What's the matter, Hasebe-kun?
[42:25] Hasebe
    Nothing.
[42:37] Doudanuki
    You see 'em?
[42:41] Doudanuki
    They really are keeping an eye
    on us, but with just scouts.
[42:47] Doudanuki
    Which means they'll
    probably make their move...
[42:50] Ookurikara
    ...in the Battle of Yamazaki, where Hashiba
    Hideyoshi defeats Akechi Mitsuhide.
[42:57] Doudanuki
    Either way, our job doesn't change. Right?
[43:02] Ookurikara
    We'll cut down the enemy.
[43:04] Ookurikara
    That's all.
[43:09] Shokudaikiri
    I can only watch in admiration.
[43:12] Tsurumaru
    Yeah, same here.
[43:14] Shokudaikiri
    They've been marching
    without any breaks at all,
[43:17] Shokudaikiri
    but neither Hashiba Hideyoshi nor
    Kuroda Kanbei show any signs of fatigue.
[43:23] Tsurumaru
    They moved such a large army across
    a huge distance in just ten days.
[43:26] Tsurumaru
    No wonder they're called the greatest
    offensive force of the Sengoku Period.
[43:31] Tsurumaru
    It goes to show why their names
    went down in the history books.
[43:39] Shokudaikiri
    We must keep them safe.
[43:40] Tsurumaru
    Yeah, and we will.
[43:46] Hasebe
    It's almost creepy how quiet it's been.
[43:49] Yamanbagiri
    They are observing our movements, though.
[43:52] Yamanbagiri
    But it seems they don't intend
    to attack or make contact with us.
[43:56] Hasebe
    There's no way it ends like this.
[43:59] Yamanbagiri
    I know. This is your first mission as Attendant.
[44:03] Yamanbagiri
    You must return to Master with news of victory.
[44:07] Yamanbagiri
    That's for sure.
[44:22] Yamanbagiri
    Once we cross that mountain,
    we'll be at Mt. Tenno.
[44:25] Yamanbagiri
    Mitsuhide is defeated there,
[44:27] Yamanbagiri
    and Hideyoshi begins his march
    to becoming the nation's ruler.
[44:30] Yamanbagiri
    If the Time Retrograde Army
    plans to move, it'll be there.
[44:40] Hasebe
    About these latest appointments...
[44:43] Hasebe
    At this rate, the frustration and regrets
    from that defeat will remain unresolved.
[44:50] Hasebe
    Not just for you, but also for me.
[44:53] Hasebe
    To overcome that, you need to
    return to the role of Attendant.
[44:58] Hasebe
    You are the Attendant at our Citadel.
    Fulfill your role, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[45:06] Yamanbagiri
    I...
[45:08] Yamanbagiri
    I lost sight of how an
    Attendant is supposed to be.
[45:11] Yamanbagiri
    If I'd stayed in the role,
    I might've led us to another defeat.
[45:17] Yamanbagiri
    That's why I made my decision.
[45:20] Hasebe
    I don't have a solution to your problem.
[45:24] Hasebe
    So you'll just have to find
    it yourself... in battle.
SIGN    Shoryuji Castle
[45:38] Soldier
    My lord!
[45:40] Soldier
    The Hashiba army's march is not stopping.
    The Saito squad has retreated from battle.
[45:44] Soldier
    Matsuda Masachika-dono, Ito Sadaoki-dono,
    and others have been killed, too!
[45:49] Mitsuhide
    If this continues, morale will keep dropping.
[45:53] Mitsuhide
    Well done, Hideyoshi-dono.
[45:55] Mitsuhide
    I am impressed.
[45:57] Mitsuhide
    But I'm not done.
[45:59] Mitsuhide
    If I die here, I will have betrayed
    Nobunaga-sama for naught.
[46:06] Mitsuhide
    We'll abandon this castle and fall back to Omi.
[46:10] Mitsuhide
    There, we will regroup
    and prepare to fight again!
[46:13] Retainers
    Sir!
[46:29] Hideyoshi
    Their soldiers are falling back.
[46:32] Hideyoshi
    Is Mitsuhide planning to abandon this battle?
[46:36] Kanbei
    We cannot let him escape.
[46:39] Kanbei
    Let's send a squad in pursuit right away.
[46:41] Kanbei
    We must kill the traitor
    Akechi Mitsuhide right here!
[46:45] Hideyoshi
    Yes.
[46:48] Hasebe
    Let's go.
[46:49] Doudanuki
    Yeah.
[46:50] Shokudai
    Are you all ready?
[46:54] Tsurumaru
    The stage is set. It's showtime.
[47:16] Samurai Hunter
    This guy's the Akechi lord.
[47:20] Samurai Hunter
    His head will fetch a pretty price.
[47:24] Mitsuhide
    Samurai hunters? Is this it?
[47:30] Samurai Hunters
    Wh-What?!
[47:34] Samurai Hunters
    The hell are you?!
[47:47] Kanbei
    Halt!
[48:02] Kanbei
    You guys...
[48:04] Shokudaikiri
    Let us handle this.
[48:07] Tsurumaru
    You go after Mitsuhide.
[48:10] Kanbei
    Got it. I'm counting on you.
[48:14] Doudanuki
    Great. We can finally fight the way we want.
[48:19] Hasebe
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro and I
    will guard Kuroda Kanbei.
[48:23] Hasebe
    Can you guys handle this?
[48:26] Shokudaikiri
    Okay.
[48:27] Tsurumaru
    I guess we could, yeah.
[48:30] Ookurikara
    Go.
[48:35] Doudanuki
    All right. Bring it already!
[48:45] Kanbei
    Mitsuhide!
[48:58] Mitsuhide
    None will stand in my way.
[49:07] Hasebe
    Are you all right?!
[49:08] Kanbei
    Mitsuhide!
[49:09] Kanbei
    Why did you betray Nobunaga-sama?!
[49:12] Mitsuhide
    Kuroda Kanbei...
    You should be able to understand.
[49:17] Mitsuhide
    When the nation is unified,
    Nobunaga-sama's dream will be fulfilled.
[49:22] Mitsuhide
    That would spell the end of my story
    serving him as he chases his dream.
[49:28] Mitsuhide
    I had no choice to take it from him!
    I had to take the nation from Oda Nobunaga!
[49:34] Kanbei
    Mitsuhide, some things
    are beyond certain people.
[49:38] Kanbei
    And for you, that is ruling the nation.
[49:41] Mitsuhide
    You're the renowned genius strategist.
    There may be truth to your words.
[49:46] Mitsuhide
    However, I could not afford to sit still!
[49:52] Kanbei
    It's not just you.
    Ruling the nation is beyond me, as well.
[49:56] Kanbei
    We're not built for it.
[49:58] Kanbei
    And I have only met three men
    in this world who can say they are.
[50:05] Kanbei
    Oda Nobunaga, Hashiba Hideyoshi,
    and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
[50:10] Mitsuhide
    You have a keen eye.
[50:14] Mitsuhide
    But even if my ambition is to die,
    I don't want my life to end here!
[50:26] Yamanbagiri
    That's a lot.
[50:27] Hasebe
    Think you can take them?
[50:28] Yamanbagiri
    Yeah. We can't let Kuroda Kanbei die here.
[50:37] Hasebe
    What the...
[50:44] Yamanbagiri
    What is this?
[50:55] Hasebe
    A sight that would've surprised even
    Tsurumaru Kuninaga if he were here.
[50:59] Yamanbagiri
    Here it comes!
[51:11] Doudanuki
    Bigger than the sum of its parts, eh?
[51:24] Tsurumaru
    We should probably team up for this.
[51:26] Shokudaikiri
    We'll keep it busy.
[51:28] Shokudaikiri
    Hasebe-kun, you attack in the meantime!
[51:33] Yamanbagiri
    Shokudaikiri!
[51:35] Hasebe
    Help him!
[51:51] Tsurumaru
    This is trouble.
[51:58] Ookurikara
    I'll cut it.
[51:59] Ookurikara
    Don't stop me.
[52:01] Yamanbagiri
    If you don't want to be broken,
[52:03] Yamanbagiri
    help me out.
[52:05] Ookurikara
    What's your plan?
[52:07] Yamanbagiri
    Inside that thing is Akechi Mitsuhide,
    possessed by the Time Retrograde Army.
[52:12] Yamanbagiri
    I'll be the decoy and create
    an opening in that monster.
[52:15] Yamanbagiri
    You find Akechi Mitsuhide
    inside and drag him out.
[52:20] Doudanuki
    No need to go it alone.
[52:22] Shokudaikiri
    The more distractions, the better.
[52:25] Tsurumaru
    Yeah.
[52:26] Tsurumaru
    Let's give that monster a big old surprise.
[52:29] Hasebe
    Ookurikara, can you do it?
[52:32] Ookurikara
    Of course.
[52:58] Hasebe
    Now!
[53:12] Ookurikara
    There he is.
[53:30] Hasebe
    Did we get it?!
[53:41] Tsurumaru
    Looks like we need one last push.
[53:45] Doudanuki
    All right! Let's finish this up!
[53:49] Yamanbagiri
    Here I go!
[54:26] Doudanuki
    Was that the last one?
[54:30] Shokudaikiri
    Looks like it.
[54:33] Tsurumaru
    We're out of steam, too.
[55:02] Mitsuhide
    Kanbei-dono.
[55:05] Kanbei
    Mitsuhide-dono.
[55:09] Mitsuhide
    It was a most enjoyable time, following
    Nobunaga-sama as he chased his dream.
[55:16] Kanbei
    I must say I agree.
[55:19] Mitsuhide
    My friends, who lived through
    an age of war with me.
[55:22] Mitsuhide
    I lived a wonderful life.
[55:24] Mitsuhide
    You have my thanks.
[56:01] Hasebe
    That concludes my report on this mission.
[56:05] Hasebe
    After the Battle of Yamazaki,
    Hashiba Hideyoshi aims to unify the nation.
[56:11] Hasebe
    The series of events that started
    with the Honnoji Incident
[56:14] Hasebe
    have all gone according to history.
[56:33] Mikazuki
    There!
[56:39] Tsurumaru
    You got me.
[56:40] Tsurumaru
    That's one of the Five Great Swords for you.
[56:46] Mikazuki
    If you went all-out,
    I doubt I could defeat you yet.
[56:49] Mikazuki
    I have made progress, though,
    and not just with sparring.
[56:55] Mikazuki
    I've learned a lot about farm work and
    tending to the horses from everyone here.
[57:01] Mikazuki
    Each day since I manifested has
    been full of new things to learn.
[57:06] Maeda
    Hasebe-san.
[57:09] Maeda
    Did you finish reporting to Master?
[57:12] Hasebe
    Yeah.
[57:13] Mikazuki
    Oh, Heshikiri Hasebe. Have you
    gotten used to being Attendant yet?
[57:22] Tsurumaru
    Why the long face?
[57:25] Hasebe
    If it's what Master wants,
    I'll even do my best as Attendant.
[57:30] Hasebe
    But...
[57:32] Mikazuki
    Everyone in this Citadel, me included,
    is inexperienced as a Sword Warrior.
[57:39] Mikazuki
    All of this is new to us,
    and sometimes we will fail.
[57:49] Maeda
    I wonder what's up with Hasebe-san.
[57:51] Tsurumaru
    Oh, he just has a lot on his plate.
[58:03] Saniwa
    I see. I may have made the wrong call.
[58:10] Mikazuki
    Everyone makes mistakes.
[58:13] Saniwa
    I understand where Heshikiri
    Hasebe is coming from.
[58:17] Saniwa
    But I felt it would be cruel to ask Yamanbagiri
    Kunihiro to continue as Attendant.
[58:24] Saniwa
    The role of Attendant may
    end up vacant if this continues.
[58:28] Saniwa
    If only there were
    someone else up to the task...
[58:33] Mikazuki
    That would not solve the matter at hand.
[58:36] Mikazuki
    But going from Heshikiri Hasebe back to
    Yamanbagiri Kunihiro would also cause issues.
[58:44] Mikazuki
    In that case, Master,
[58:47] Mikazuki
    how about I take on the role temporarily?
[58:52] Saniwa
    Oh? You want to be Attendant,
    Mikazuki Munechika?
[58:56] Mikazuki
    Yes. Having only manifested recently,
    my sword skills are not yet up to par.
[59:03] Mikazuki
    But, old as I am, I may be able to pass down
    my experiences to the younger swords.
[59:08] Mikazuki
    It will look like I stole the role of
    Attendant from Heshikiri Hasebe,
[59:13] Mikazuki
    but I do not mind playing the villain
    if it helps the Citadel as a whole.
[59:19] Mikazuki
    When the time is right, you can just
    reinstate Yamanbagiri Kunihiro as Attendant.
[59:24] Mikazuki
    I'm sure that time is not too far away.
[59:38] Hasebe
    Mikazuki Munechika as Attendant?
[59:41] Mikazuki
    This was my idea, and Master agreed to it.
[59:46] Mikazuki
    If you have any objections,
    Master will gladly hear you out.
[59:52] Hasebe
    I have none. I would've suggested
    it to Master if you hadn't.
[59:58] Hasebe
    Master, I thank you deeply for
    taking my feelings into account.
[1:00:04] Hasebe
    I'll make sure that this decision
    benefits the Citadel in the long term.
[1:00:09] Hasebe
    And I'll continue to do my best so I can
    be Attendant fair and square someday.
[1:01:10] Kanbei
    You...
[1:01:12] Kanbei
    Are you the foreigner who
    was with Nobunaga-sama?
[1:01:15] Yasuke
    Nobunaga... sama...
[1:01:18] Kanbei
    What happened?
[1:01:19] Yasuke
    I don't know, but Ranmaru
    fought to save Nobunaga-sama.
[1:01:26] Yasuke
    We fought the dark ones to
    try to save Nobunaga-sama.
[1:02:46] Souza
    Is this...
[1:03:03] Souza
    A dream...
[1:03:05] Souza
    of Honnoji that day!
[1:03:19] Fudou
    Where am I?
[1:03:20] Mikazuki
    Welcome to our Citadel.
[1:03:23] Fudou
    Citadel?
[1:03:25] Mikazuki
    You were awakened by the Saniwa
    and have manifested as a Sword Warrior.
[1:03:31] Fudou
    A Sword Warrior... I see.
[1:03:35] Fudou
    So you're my new master.
