WEBVTT
00:03.020 --> 00:05.530
In the
00:03.020 --> 00:05.530
time
00:03.020 --> 00:05.530
of the
00:03.020 --> 00:05.530
warring
00:03.020 --> 00:05.530
states
00:04.230 --> 00:06.740
A time of corruption
00:07.280 --> 00:12.950
There existed
00:07.280 --> 00:12.950
an
00:07.280 --> 00:12.950
ultimate
00:08.530 --> 00:14.200
Way of
00:08.530 --> 00:14.200
the Sword
00:09.780 --> 00:12.950
that used
00:09.780 --> 00:12.950
no swords
00:22.710 --> 00:24.420
Oushuu
00:24.590 --> 00:25.760
Hida Castle
01:11.280 --> 01:13.140
The rebel,
01:14.030 --> 01:16.800
Hida Takahito.
01:18.450 --> 01:19.570
Kyotouryuu's...
01:18.450 --> 01:19.570
Note: Kyotouryuu = Swordless Style
01:22.890 --> 01:24.200
I see...
01:24.790 --> 01:27.890
So this is how I'll meet my end.
01:48.360 --> 01:50.900
At this point, it is unavoidable.
02:08.250 --> 02:08.560
Miss?
02:10.160 --> 02:11.680
It's in sight now.
02:14.980 --> 02:18.100
What kind of business might you have on an uninhabited island like that?
02:19.110 --> 02:21.650
It's not an uninhabited island.
02:21.650 --> 02:24.920
That's the island where the hero of the rebellion was exiled.
02:26.460 --> 02:40.990
onore o harahara hana ni tatoete chirinuru o
02:26.460 --> 02:40.990
己をはらはら花に例えて 散りぬるを…
02:26.460 --> 02:40.990
Just like the flowers, I'll scatter away...
02:42.560 --> 02:47.750
tsumi aguneta guren no tama o
02:42.560 --> 02:47.750
摘みあぐねた紅蓮の霊を
02:42.560 --> 02:47.750
My crimson heart was furious,
02:48.370 --> 02:53.380
sarau ano hi areshi mune yori
02:48.370 --> 02:53.380
さらう彼の日 荒れし胸より
02:48.370 --> 02:53.380
the day it was plucked dry and snatched away
02:54.210 --> 02:59.740
osoruru mama mikoto wa habataite
02:54.210 --> 02:59.740
恐るるまま命は羽搏いて
02:54.210 --> 02:59.740
Even with my frightened heart,
02:59.740 --> 03:05.370
yagate yagate ten no hate ni
02:59.740 --> 03:05.370
やがて やがて 天の果てに
02:59.740 --> 03:05.370
my life takes flight, to the end of the sky
03:05.370 --> 03:11.220
akaku somare surechigai kira no yume o
03:05.370 --> 03:11.220
朱く染まれ すれ違い綺羅の夢を
03:05.370 --> 03:11.220
The dyed red, glittering dream we encountered by chance,
03:11.220 --> 03:19.750
ataeta mou machiwabite meiya ni samayoi
03:11.220 --> 03:19.750
与えたもう 待ち侘びて冥夜にさまよい
03:11.220 --> 03:19.750
I offer to you, waiting around, lost in the dark night
03:19.750 --> 03:22.920
tomoni moe youka
03:19.750 --> 03:22.920
共に燃えようか
03:19.750 --> 03:22.920
Shall we blaze away together?
03:23.170 --> 03:28.730
omoi ga harahara mau yue ni
03:23.170 --> 03:28.730
想いがはらはら舞う故に
03:23.170 --> 03:28.730
With our fluttering thoughts dancing along,
03:28.730 --> 03:34.560
watashi wa mayoi o kinjite
03:28.730 --> 03:34.560
私は迷いを禁じて
03:28.730 --> 03:34.560
I will no longer have any doubts
03:34.560 --> 03:40.350
mugen no kairou yori umareta
03:34.560 --> 03:40.350
無限の回廊より生まれた
03:34.560 --> 03:40.350
I'm heading towards the sky, to paint...
03:40.350 --> 03:48.120
kizuna o sara naru sora e egaite
03:40.350 --> 03:48.120
絆を更なる空へ描いて
03:40.350 --> 03:48.120
our bonds born from the endless corridor
03:48.120 --> 03:55.310
hana no chiranu uchi ni
03:48.120 --> 03:55.310
花の散らぬうちに
03:48.120 --> 03:55.310
As long as the flowers are still blooming
03:49.570 --> 03:56.040
Katana-
03:49.570 --> 03:56.040
gatari
03:56.040 --> 04:01.960
Zettou
03:56.040 --> 04:01.960
Kanna
04:03.250 --> 04:10.600
The one who came to power after the rebellion, Shogun Yanari, fearing the power of the hero of the rebellion, Yasuri Mutsue,
04:11.080 --> 04:15.580
exiled him along with his family to this uninhabited island.
04:16.910 --> 04:23.940
For 20 years after that, no one else stepped foot on the island.
04:27.740 --> 04:29.450
What a hassle.
04:29.450 --> 04:31.120
What are you doing, Shichika?
04:31.120 --> 04:32.080
Nee-chan...
04:33.180 --> 04:35.250
It looks like the cistern's out of water, so...
04:35.820 --> 04:38.940
Don't come out dressed like that, it's cold.
04:38.940 --> 04:40.100
I'm fine.
04:40.100 --> 04:42.660
It feels good if it's just for a bit.
04:42.660 --> 04:45.630
Also, wasn't it my turn to do the housework today?
04:45.630 --> 04:46.720
Was it?
04:49.680 --> 04:54.160
Didn't I tell you to stop treating me so delicately?
04:54.160 --> 04:55.990
I wasn't trying to.
04:55.990 --> 04:57.150
It's fine.
04:57.150 --> 04:58.750
This is just another part of training.
04:58.750 --> 05:02.190
I don't remember teaching you to be overly considerate.
05:03.320 --> 05:05.690
See, go back inside I said!
05:05.690 --> 05:09.200
There's no meaning to training anymore.
05:10.020 --> 05:11.370
Nee-chan...
05:11.640 --> 05:16.870
What meaning is there in maintaining a combat style that will end with your generation?
05:18.180 --> 05:20.420
I don't think about the meaning or anything.
05:20.420 --> 05:22.060
Hey, Shichika...
05:22.060 --> 05:25.240
It's already been a year since father died.
05:25.240 --> 05:26.510
Can't you let it go already?
05:26.510 --> 05:28.760
You don't need to say it like that...
05:28.760 --> 05:32.850
I mean, just yesterday, I thought up a new ultimate move.
05:33.110 --> 05:36.940
It's a really awesome... move...
05:36.940 --> 05:42.080
To begin with, the one who got banished was father alone.
05:42.080 --> 05:45.150
It'd be impossible for me, but you could make a boat for yourself and—
05:45.150 --> 05:46.860
Don't say stupid stuff!
05:48.790 --> 05:51.570
That wasn't the kind of topic to bring up so early in the morning, was it.
05:54.130 --> 05:57.700
I'll prepare breakfast, so come back quickly.
05:57.700 --> 05:58.570
Yeah.
05:59.150 --> 06:03.300
A new ultimate move, you say...
06:03.300 --> 06:04.830
Show it to me later.
06:10.580 --> 06:12.010
Leave the island, huh...
06:12.910 --> 06:15.980
I was expecting this topic to come up eventually,
06:17.170 --> 06:19.810
but this is the only thing I inherited from father, so...
06:20.660 --> 06:24.030
I want to cherish it while I still can.
06:24.030 --> 06:26.380
I don't have anything else, after all.
06:32.900 --> 06:34.620
What a hassle.
06:35.290 --> 06:38.540
If father was around he'd cut them down with one strike, too...
06:48.400 --> 06:49.230
Hey!
07:00.560 --> 07:02.300
A person from the mainland?
07:04.340 --> 07:05.320
First time seeing one.
07:07.100 --> 07:08.230
A sword?
07:08.750 --> 07:10.270
First time seeing that too.
07:11.280 --> 07:16.520
I don't personally mind if strangers or outsiders come here, but...
07:17.070 --> 07:18.890
Um...
07:18.890 --> 07:22.290
It's absolutely forbidden to carry blades onto this island.
07:23.050 --> 07:24.420
Is that so?
07:24.420 --> 07:25.420
Yeah.
07:25.850 --> 07:27.460
Pardon me, then.
07:27.460 --> 07:29.100
I wasn't aware.
07:29.100 --> 07:30.230
Forgive me.
07:30.230 --> 07:32.510
Well, I wasn't the one who decided it.
07:32.860 --> 07:34.640
How did you come to this island?
07:34.640 --> 07:36.470
By boat, of course.
07:36.710 --> 07:39.680
It's not like I particularly wanted to know,
07:39.680 --> 07:42.930
but I'm supposed to say that in this situation.
07:42.930 --> 07:43.520
Next is...
07:43.830 --> 07:46.020
"What did you come here for?" right?
07:46.280 --> 07:47.170
Yeah!
07:47.170 --> 07:48.190
What did you come here for?
07:49.900 --> 07:54.380
I heard that the 6th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Mutsue lives here.
07:54.380 --> 07:55.530
Do you know him?
07:55.940 --> 07:57.650
If you're talking about dad, he died.
07:58.690 --> 07:59.450
A year ago.
08:03.090 --> 08:04.290
I see...
08:08.970 --> 08:11.170
Right now I'm the family head.
08:11.170 --> 08:15.180
The 7th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
08:16.420 --> 08:17.840
I see.
08:17.840 --> 08:20.830
Excuse my insensitivity.
08:20.830 --> 08:25.480
My information was 20 years old, so I had considered he may have passed away.
08:25.480 --> 08:26.980
I see...
08:26.980 --> 08:28.920
He's got a strong body.
08:29.840 --> 08:31.360
Doesn't look terrible either.
08:31.610 --> 08:34.330
I'd say it gets a passing grade.
08:34.330 --> 08:35.770
What are you talking about?
08:35.770 --> 08:37.750
Ah, just talking to myself.
08:37.750 --> 08:40.490
It seems you had business with dad... sorry about that.
08:40.860 --> 08:43.390
You're right, but a little off.
08:43.390 --> 08:46.080
My business is with the Kyotouryuu head.
08:46.720 --> 08:52.420
Which means the business I had with Mutsue-dono has now changed to business with you.
08:55.180 --> 08:58.500
Shichika, I haven't told you my own name yet.
08:58.500 --> 09:00.070
I'm Togame.
09:00.070 --> 09:01.410
Togame?
09:01.410 --> 09:02.270
Weird name.
09:07.730 --> 09:12.110
In my position as general director for the army of the Shogunate, I serve as a strategist.
09:12.650 --> 09:15.780
I'll first of all be putting Kyotouryuu to the test.
09:18.860 --> 09:24.250
This is an early work of Mibu Kasamaro, one of the 36 Fugaku swordsmiths.
09:24.250 --> 09:25.250
Test?
09:25.250 --> 09:27.110
That's what I said.
09:27.110 --> 09:28.040
Here I come!
09:34.780 --> 09:38.550
Yasuri Shichika and Togame the strategian.
09:38.550 --> 09:42.270
The unfortunate meeting that began their destiny together,
09:42.270 --> 09:50.150
took place in the middle of January, in a time when the word "gyafun" was not yet outdated.
09:52.330 --> 09:53.380
I'm back.
10:00.940 --> 10:03.730
You said you're Togame the strategian, right?
10:03.730 --> 10:09.730
As you're our first visitor to this island, I'm not entirely sure how to welcome you...
10:09.730 --> 10:10.630
No.
10:10.630 --> 10:13.290
Pardon me for arriving here unannounced.
10:13.540 --> 10:17.060
I am Yasuri Mutsue's daughter, Nanami.
10:17.060 --> 10:21.980
I heard you came to visit my father, but what connection do you have with him?
10:21.980 --> 10:24.710
I don't really have any "connection" to him.
10:24.710 --> 10:25.910
You don't?
10:25.910 --> 10:26.940
No.
10:26.940 --> 10:30.530
You can think of me as someone who just got involved, Nanami.
10:31.030 --> 10:33.450
I'll keep your sword in my care.
10:33.450 --> 10:37.590
It's forbidden to bring or use blades on this island.
10:38.480 --> 10:39.950
Because of Kyotouryuu?
10:42.650 --> 10:46.240
It's written as "flow of the empty sword", {TL note: 虚刀流 = empty sword flow}
10:46.240 --> 10:49.100
a hidden style that uses no sword.
10:49.450 --> 10:52.130
The only ones who have openly demonstrated that style,
10:52.130 --> 10:53.800
were the first generation head Yasuri Kazuni...
10:53.800 --> 10:57.030
and the 6th generation head Yasuri Mutsue.
10:57.030 --> 11:03.190
When the whole country was plunged into rebellion, it was used in the midst of the chaotic battlefields, the deadliest of sword styles.
11:07.610 --> 11:10.160
That man is the 7th head.
11:10.160 --> 11:11.320
Togame-san.
11:12.040 --> 11:14.610
You tried to attack my brother?
11:14.940 --> 11:19.050
I really wanted to see Kyotouryuu in action.
11:19.050 --> 11:21.570
I'm not used to that sort of thing though.
11:21.570 --> 11:23.750
I'm a strategian, not a swordsman.
11:23.750 --> 11:26.120
That was still pretty impressive, given that.
11:27.060 --> 11:28.750
I practiced that.
11:28.750 --> 11:30.960
Why don't you keep practicing till you master it?
11:31.390 --> 11:33.010
That was a rather violent method, no?
11:33.010 --> 11:36.930
It's understandable if you see it that way, but I had my reasons.
11:36.930 --> 11:41.690
I'd heard of the name Yasuri Mutsue, but I don't know his face.
11:41.690 --> 11:43.770
It would be big problem if I got the wrong person.
11:43.770 --> 11:48.770
If he demonstrated Kyotouryuu, that would be more convincing than any name could be.
11:48.770 --> 11:52.580
Even if Mutsue were Shichika, it'd be the same?
11:52.580 --> 11:54.690
In that case, why don't you test him again?
11:55.430 --> 11:59.020
Consider yourself lucky to have tripped over that rock.
11:59.020 --> 12:05.120
If your blade had reached Shichika's body, you wouldn't have escaped with just a bump on your forehead.
12:05.460 --> 12:06.460
No.
12:06.460 --> 12:10.170
I'll accept those words as proof of Kyotouryuu.
12:11.050 --> 12:12.430
Is that so?
12:13.180 --> 12:16.060
Let's hear what you have to say then. {お話を伺いましょう}
12:16.060 --> 12:17.240
Alright.
12:17.240 --> 12:18.930
Hey you, wouldn't you like to rule the world?
12:19.260 --> 12:19.840
No.
12:19.840 --> 12:21.220
Exactly.
12:21.220 --> 12:24.580
It's a natural desire for all who live in this world.
12:24.580 --> 12:26.860
There's no shame in having ambition.
12:26.860 --> 12:30.580
Who can deny the motivations of rebels?
12:30.580 --> 12:35.980
If you look into it, you'll find that even the current Shogunate were originally servants who supplanted their masters.
12:35.980 --> 12:37.780
Which means... wait, you said "no"??
12:37.780 --> 12:38.540
Yeah.
12:38.540 --> 12:40.530
I don't really get what you're saying.
12:41.130 --> 12:42.450
Don't get it?
12:42.720 --> 12:43.930
Togame-san.
12:43.930 --> 12:47.640
Being born and raised on this island, we don't really know about the world.
12:47.640 --> 12:51.840
It's better if you assume we don't understand wordy language.
12:51.840 --> 12:53.120
Is that right?
12:53.120 --> 12:56.820
In that case, could I have you leave?
12:56.820 --> 12:58.380
I can't agree to that.
12:58.840 --> 13:00.630
There are two reasons why.
13:00.630 --> 13:03.730
The first is that Kyotouryuu is an art inherited by blood.
13:03.730 --> 13:08.810
Even if dad were still here, he'd have let us stay too.
13:08.810 --> 13:12.150
And the other reason is because I'm bad at thinking.
13:12.150 --> 13:15.400
Really? You're bad at thinking, huh.
13:15.400 --> 13:19.020
Then I'll continue under the promise of confidentiality.
13:19.020 --> 13:21.410
Do you know a swordsmith by the name of Shikizaki Kiki?
13:21.410 --> 13:21.950
No.
13:21.950 --> 13:23.670
Exactly.
13:23.670 --> 13:30.760
Even on this isolated island, any swordsman will at least have heard that name.
13:30.760 --> 13:36.290
For a school like Kyotouryuu which fights without weapons, someone like Shikizaki is a natural enemy.
13:36.900 --> 13:37.880
Wait, you said, "no"??
13:38.180 --> 13:38.780
Yeah.
13:38.780 --> 13:40.970
Though I get the idea that he's a big deal.
13:41.290 --> 13:43.140
Shikizaki Kiki...
13:43.140 --> 13:46.850
If I recall, he was a famous swordsmith from the Sengoku period?
13:46.850 --> 13:49.140
That's all you know about him?
13:49.520 --> 13:54.270
I only heard that he had a close connection to the founder of Kyotouryuu.
13:55.840 --> 13:58.780
Shikizaki didn't belong to any sword school.
13:58.780 --> 14:02.710
He isolated himself from others, the most heretic of the heretical swordsmiths.
14:02.710 --> 14:07.440
However, it's said his swordsmithery dominated the Sengoku period.
14:07.440 --> 14:09.180
Dominated the Sengoku period?
14:09.180 --> 14:11.760
I don't understand the meaning of those words...
14:11.760 --> 14:18.460
Belonging to no country or house, he distributed the swords he made indiscriminately throughout the land.
14:18.460 --> 14:22.090
Within 25 countries, he gave out a thousand swords.
14:22.090 --> 14:23.270
A thousand?
14:23.270 --> 14:23.930
That's a lot!
14:23.930 --> 14:25.100
Not very many.
14:26.640 --> 14:27.930
Not many then...
14:28.230 --> 14:32.360
The more of his swords a country had, the better they did on the battlefield.
14:32.360 --> 14:35.230
If that's not dominating the Sengoku period then what is?
14:35.530 --> 14:37.660
Couldn't you say it's the other way around?
14:37.660 --> 14:44.160
Being large and powerful enough to hold an advantage in combat allowed some countries to amass more of his swords.
14:44.440 --> 14:47.580
It's true that's how it must look from a practical standpoint.
14:47.580 --> 14:51.800
On the other hand, it's also true there's a basis for that myth.
14:51.800 --> 14:55.830
They say 150 years ago, Shogun Kyuu obsessed over those mythical weapons,
14:55.830 --> 15:01.750
and when he achieved unification of the country, he held a majority of the swords, 507 of them.
15:02.230 --> 15:03.470
How childish...
15:03.740 --> 15:11.670
After that, Shogun Kyuu, who put all his trust in Shikizaki's swords, made that corrupt decree to collect up all swords.
15:11.670 --> 15:14.270
The one he said was for making a Buddha statue or something?
15:14.270 --> 15:16.290
That was only the face of it.
15:16.290 --> 15:19.770
I heard the real purpose of it was to bring together all the swordsmen into one place.
15:19.770 --> 15:21.780
No, the true goal was—
15:22.170 --> 15:24.570
"to collect together all of Shikizaki's swords"?
15:24.570 --> 15:25.960
Exactly.
15:25.960 --> 15:28.140
That's quite surprising to hear.
15:28.140 --> 15:32.740
That said, Shogun Kyuu collected over 100,000 swords.
15:32.740 --> 15:34.370
100,000 swords?
15:34.370 --> 15:35.170
That's not very many!
15:35.490 --> 15:36.330
Quite a lot.
15:38.250 --> 15:39.920
Quite a lot then...
15:40.590 --> 15:44.180
So did he collect all of Shikizaki's swords?
15:44.180 --> 15:45.120
No.
15:45.120 --> 15:47.720
He gave up at the very end.
15:48.910 --> 15:53.040
He managed to track down the locations of all one thousand swords...
15:53.040 --> 15:54.810
but only their locations.
15:54.810 --> 15:56.790
Shouldn't he have been able to collect them all then?
15:56.790 --> 15:58.860
He had the authority of the Shogunate after all.
15:59.110 --> 16:01.330
It didn't work out that way.
16:01.330 --> 16:08.570
Among the thousand, the final 12 remaining were incredibly unique. {どうしようもない際物 that right?}
16:08.570 --> 16:15.320
It's currently believed that the first 988 were mere practice for the purpose of creating those 12 swords.
16:15.320 --> 16:17.250
A thousand for the sake of 12?
16:17.630 --> 16:19.920
Pretty crazy story, right?
16:20.300 --> 16:21.090
Kanna.
16:20.300 --> 16:21.090
Plane, the Absolute
16:21.430 --> 16:22.250
Namakura.
16:21.430 --> 16:22.250
Blunt, the Decapitator
16:22.640 --> 16:23.420
Tsurugi.
16:22.640 --> 16:23.420
Blade, the Thousand
16:23.800 --> 16:24.550
Hari.
16:23.800 --> 16:24.550
Needle, the Light
16:24.850 --> 16:25.720
Yoroi.
16:24.850 --> 16:25.720
Armor, the Grudge
16:25.970 --> 16:26.880
Kanazuchi.
16:25.970 --> 16:26.880
Hammer, the Pair
16:27.260 --> 16:28.050
Bita.
16:27.260 --> 16:28.050
Poor, the Evil
16:28.330 --> 16:29.220
Kanzashi.
16:28.330 --> 16:29.220
Sai, the Tiny
16:29.530 --> 16:30.390
Nokogiri.
16:29.530 --> 16:30.390
Saw, the King
16:30.740 --> 16:31.550
Hakari.
16:30.740 --> 16:31.550
Scales, the True
16:31.840 --> 16:32.720
Mekki.
16:31.840 --> 16:32.720
Gild, the Poison
16:32.960 --> 16:33.970
Jyuu.
16:32.960 --> 16:33.970
Gun, the Flame
16:33.970 --> 16:40.580
The evilness of those swords is incomparable to any other famous sword you've heard of.
16:40.580 --> 16:46.570
The records say that the armies sent by Shogun Kyuu to collect them were wiped out by the power of a single sword.
16:47.180 --> 16:49.200
This is the first time I've heard that.
16:49.200 --> 16:53.060
And that is why I've come to this island.
16:53.060 --> 16:55.600
Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
16:55.600 --> 17:02.410
I've come to convey this command to you, to gather the last 12 swords that the legendary swordsmith Shikizaki Kiki made.
17:02.410 --> 17:05.050
So that's what you meant when you asked if I wanted to rule the world.
17:05.240 --> 17:05.960
Indeed.
17:06.550 --> 17:09.760
I didn't actually mean you would rule the world.
17:10.340 --> 17:13.690
The Shogunate right now has been stable for a long time, right?
17:13.690 --> 17:17.930
They had the power to suppress the rebellion with brute force.
17:17.930 --> 17:20.140
Indeed, with brute force...
17:22.140 --> 17:25.150
N-No I mean, that rebellion was a problem.
17:25.150 --> 17:27.490
The Owari Shogunate has been in power for 150 years now.
17:27.490 --> 17:31.520
No one in this generation really understands what the Sengoku period was like anymore.
17:31.520 --> 17:37.650
These days no one really thinks of Shikizaki Kiki's swords as anything more than trinkets, but just think about it...
17:37.650 --> 17:42.570
If the conspirators behind the last rebellion had gotten a hold of those 12 swords,
17:42.570 --> 17:44.640
what would have happened to the current Shogunate?
17:44.640 --> 17:46.590
They fear a revolt...
17:46.590 --> 17:48.380
"You can never be too careful" kind of thing?
17:48.730 --> 17:50.340
So where are those swords currently?
17:50.890 --> 17:56.390
The ones we know of are in Inaba, Izumo, Satsuma, Ezo, and Tosa.
17:56.640 --> 17:58.420
The rest are still under investigation.
17:59.480 --> 18:01.400
You only know half of them...
18:01.400 --> 18:03.880
Say "you've already found half of them" instead!
18:04.380 --> 18:05.110
What is it?
18:05.370 --> 18:10.280
If they're afraid of a revolt, wouldn't it be smarter not to provoke the current owners?
18:10.660 --> 18:13.780
"Do it skillfully" was the order given by the Shogunate.
18:13.780 --> 18:15.450
What does doing it skillfully mean?
18:15.720 --> 18:17.840
We have a strategian for that very purpose!
18:17.840 --> 18:20.370
Someone who can move about in the shadows.
18:20.620 --> 18:21.820
Um...
18:21.820 --> 18:24.100
What exactly is a "strategian"?
18:25.290 --> 18:32.680
Specifically, I'm the army general director in support of critical tasks under direct control of Yanari Shogun of the Owari Shogunate,
18:33.130 --> 18:34.630
the strategian Togame.
18:35.790 --> 18:37.130
Um...
18:37.130 --> 18:41.390
Is that a new post that was created in the last 20 years or something?
18:41.390 --> 18:44.350
No, I just made up that title.
18:44.350 --> 18:45.470
Self-named...
18:45.810 --> 18:49.500
If tactics are created by a tactician, strategies are created by a strategian!
18:49.500 --> 18:52.980
I'm abnormal, so abnormal orders are given to me.
18:54.770 --> 18:57.820
That being the case, can you lend me your strength?
18:58.120 --> 19:03.210
If you're really from the Shogunate, there's no need for you to rely on Kyotouryuu...
19:03.210 --> 19:05.380
I know what you're trying to say.
19:05.380 --> 19:07.840
However, I can't use people who will work for money.
19:08.780 --> 19:11.360
The ninja who were entrusted the task of collecting the swords...
19:11.360 --> 19:12.760
betrayed us.
19:13.650 --> 19:15.000
Even though they're ninja?
19:15.000 --> 19:16.910
Your surprise is understandable.
19:16.910 --> 19:21.580
If they did that, the trust in them that they'd built up over all those years would collapse.
19:21.580 --> 19:25.790
Even so, once they found the swords, they disappeared.
19:25.790 --> 19:28.140
The entire ninja army, along with their whole village.
19:28.140 --> 19:29.570
Unbelievable...
19:29.820 --> 19:35.200
The perfected Deviant Blades are such a high class treasure that you could buy an entire country with the cost of a single sword. {need to standardize 完成形変体刀...}
19:35.200 --> 19:37.250
That's why people who'd work for money are unacceptable.
19:37.780 --> 19:39.030
I see.
19:39.030 --> 19:40.480
Then how about honor?
19:40.480 --> 19:44.070
My father taught me that swordsmen should do what's right.
19:44.070 --> 19:45.240
Honor, huh...
19:45.240 --> 19:47.000
Swordsmen are no good either.
19:47.330 --> 19:53.180
The Shogunate picked one of their strongest, most loyal and honorable swordsmen.
19:53.180 --> 19:55.210
His name was Sabi Hakuhei.
19:55.210 --> 19:59.420
They tasked him with retrieving what they thought was hardest sword to obtain - Hakutou Hari.
19:59.420 --> 20:01.980
However, he obtained it in a shockingly short time.
20:01.980 --> 20:02.730
Wow!
20:02.730 --> 20:04.830
He obtained it, then disappeared.
20:04.830 --> 20:05.440
Hey!
20:05.740 --> 20:07.660
Its poison is too strong.
20:07.660 --> 20:13.610
And he betrayed us precisely because of that honor — he was unable to resist the honor of owning one of Shikizaki's sword.
20:13.610 --> 20:15.730
Ninja and swordsmen...
20:15.730 --> 20:18.900
So the swords are now in the possession of really strong guys...
20:18.900 --> 20:20.590
Your followers must all be running away.
20:20.590 --> 20:21.720
That's right!
20:21.720 --> 20:23.110
What can I do about it?
20:23.110 --> 20:24.100
Like I'd know!
20:24.100 --> 20:26.210
So that's why you sought out Kyotouryuu.
20:26.210 --> 20:29.500
Swordsmen who don't work for money nor wield swords.
20:29.740 --> 20:30.750
Exactly.
20:30.750 --> 20:33.390
Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika!
20:33.390 --> 20:38.210
In order to ensure the prosperity of the Owari Shogunate, will you wield the skills you have forged?
20:38.210 --> 20:40.720
I understand what you came for,
20:40.720 --> 20:45.700
and it sounds urgent for you, but I don't have any interest in swords.
20:45.700 --> 20:46.710
Are you scared?
20:46.710 --> 20:48.270
Of course I am!
20:48.270 --> 20:53.140
But more importantly, it's a hassle, leaving the island and crossing the sea and all.
20:54.570 --> 20:58.160
Do you think I didn't anticipate that answer?
20:58.160 --> 21:01.120
Do you believe that this strategian who has been betrayed so many times in the past,
21:01.120 --> 21:06.120
came to this island without preparing an appropriate reason for you?
21:06.120 --> 21:07.910
You've been betrayed, have you?
21:07.910 --> 21:10.240
Well do you have one? A reason?
21:10.240 --> 21:11.300
Yeah.
21:11.300 --> 21:13.370
People who work for money are no good.
21:13.370 --> 21:15.380
People who work for honor are also no good.
21:15.780 --> 21:18.760
That leaves only one reason.
21:19.240 --> 21:19.800
Love!
21:20.120 --> 21:21.470
L-Love?
21:21.720 --> 21:24.640
People who work for love can be trusted.
21:24.640 --> 21:25.970
Yasuri Shichika...
21:25.970 --> 21:27.390
fall for me!
21:49.020 --> 21:49.870
Shuriken?!
21:49.870 --> 21:51.570
What the hell!
21:51.570 --> 21:53.480
This is the home dad built!
21:52.290 --> 21:52.750
Shichika...
21:56.460 --> 21:58.750
Honestly, so hasty...
21:58.750 --> 22:00.850
No, that was the right thing to do.
22:00.850 --> 22:03.990
For aerial weaponry, you have to make split-second decisions.
22:03.990 --> 22:06.680
Well, he's just moving on instinct...
22:07.050 --> 22:09.750
A ninja... from the Maniwa corps, it seems.
22:10.910 --> 22:11.520
Maniwa?
22:11.810 --> 22:15.380
The ones who turned traitor the instant they learned of the value of Shikizaki's swords.
22:15.380 --> 22:16.770
How many are there?
22:16.770 --> 22:17.940
Probably just one.
22:19.140 --> 22:21.830
Maniwa shinobi hate working in groups.
22:21.830 --> 22:25.610
What I don't know is why they're here...
22:25.610 --> 22:29.200
I wasn't tailed, and I didn't tell anyone my destination.
22:29.200 --> 22:31.470
If the enemy is really here alone,
22:31.470 --> 22:36.030
then Shichika is probably leading them to the beach ahead.
22:36.030 --> 22:37.940
You seem pretty confident.
22:37.940 --> 22:39.940
The enemy is from the Maniwa corps, you know?
22:39.940 --> 22:43.010
Kyotouryuu won't lose to a mere ninja.
22:43.010 --> 22:49.680
That's reassuring, but what's most important right now is why is a Maniwa corps soldier is on the island!
22:50.120 --> 22:51.910
That's true...
22:51.910 --> 22:55.890
Togame-san, are you certain there was no possibility you were followed?
22:55.890 --> 22:57.020
Don't insult me.
22:57.020 --> 23:01.370
It was precisely because the opponent is a ninja that I was more cautious than usual.
23:01.370 --> 23:04.460
That's also why I didn't tell anyone my destination.
23:05.480 --> 23:07.190
I really wonder how...
23:07.190 --> 23:10.530
Did you come to this island alone?
23:10.530 --> 23:11.620
You're seriously asking that?
23:12.080 --> 23:14.330
How did you get here then?
23:14.330 --> 23:16.040
I came by boat, of course!
23:16.440 --> 23:18.090
Did you row the boat yourself?
23:18.430 --> 23:19.910
What a strange question.
23:19.910 --> 23:22.180
My specialty is brain work.
23:22.180 --> 23:24.170
Does it look like I'd have the strength to—
23:24.490 --> 23:26.180
So there was a ferryman?
23:26.800 --> 23:28.220
Yes, but...
23:28.240 --> 23:29.190
Oh no!
23:29.190 --> 23:32.090
That man wields one of Shikizaki's swords!
23:34.940 --> 23:39.390
I hope you're not thinking you've driven me into a corner.
23:39.900 --> 23:41.390
It's the opposite!
23:41.390 --> 23:44.190
I'm the one who led you here!
23:44.190 --> 23:46.180
Wait, wait...
23:46.180 --> 23:49.330
My head is spinning from all the visitors here today.
23:49.330 --> 23:51.200
Could you not all come on the same day like that?
23:52.320 --> 23:55.230
I don't give a damn about your problems.
23:55.230 --> 23:59.870
I'm one of the 12 heads of the Maniwa corps, the great Maniwa Koumori!
24:00.170 --> 24:01.830
Maniwa corps?
24:01.830 --> 24:04.630
Oh yeah, I heard you're a ninja or something.
24:04.630 --> 24:07.250
The fact that you heard that is bad luck for you.
24:07.250 --> 24:10.050
If it weren't for that, I'd have just ignored you.
24:10.050 --> 24:14.130
My objective is that woman who has all that information.
24:14.130 --> 24:15.940
You were eavesdropping?
24:15.940 --> 24:17.220
That's a distasteful hobby.
24:17.220 --> 24:19.930
You should say it's a good hobby!
24:20.520 --> 24:22.480
You tailed Togame here?
24:22.930 --> 24:23.760
Nope.
24:23.760 --> 24:26.060
I didn't do anything so sneaky.
24:26.060 --> 24:27.480
We came here together.
24:27.480 --> 24:30.360
I rowed the boat all the way here.
24:30.360 --> 24:31.870
It was hard work you know.
24:31.870 --> 24:35.700
That woman just sat on her ass the whole time without lifting a finger to help.
24:35.700 --> 24:39.240
Does everyone from the mainland talk as much as this?
24:36.000 --> 24:38.700
She's got quite the nerve, geez...
24:39.240 --> 24:40.600
Don't you think so?
24:40.600 --> 24:41.120
Right...
24:42.070 --> 24:44.040
You're a pretty dull guy.
24:44.040 --> 24:46.080
Well, you are from the boonies I guess...
24:46.080 --> 24:47.290
Can't help that.
24:49.550 --> 24:53.800
It's nothing personal, but I'll have to kill you here.
24:53.800 --> 24:57.220
Come to think of it, this is my first real battle, isn't it?
24:57.220 --> 24:58.930
You scared?
24:58.930 --> 25:00.010
No...
25:00.010 --> 25:02.760
I was just thinking you aren't carrying a sword, as far as I can tell...
25:02.760 --> 25:06.080
Oh right, you're a swordsman who doesn't use a sword?
25:06.080 --> 25:10.340
When it comes to "swordsmanship" you usually assume you're going to be fighting with swords.
25:11.760 --> 25:14.480
That's some ridiculously absurd swordsmanship!
25:14.480 --> 25:18.490
Not really, it's just that I don't know much about how ninja fight.
25:18.490 --> 25:19.810
Don't worry.
25:19.810 --> 25:24.440
While I'm not a swordsman, it's not like I can't use a sword.
25:24.440 --> 25:29.500
As you wish, how about I bring out the sword I'm carrying?
25:35.420 --> 25:36.220
What?
25:43.220 --> 25:45.480
Humans can do something like that?
25:46.980 --> 25:49.090
Listen and look in shock!
25:49.090 --> 25:55.400
This is one of the 12 Deviant Blades that Shikizaki Kiki perfected, Zettou Kanna!
25:55.400 --> 25:56.060
Kanna
25:55.400 --> 25:56.060
Zettou
25:56.250 --> 25:59.350
I'm more shocked at your body than the sword...
26:00.640 --> 26:02.750
They call me Hades Koumori!
26:02.750 --> 26:07.540
Meaning, I have a very generous personality when it comes to serving up presents from hell!
26:07.790 --> 26:09.420
Koumori the maid? {TL note: "Hell" sounds like "maid"}
26:07.790 --> 26:11.420
Note: "Hell" sounds like "maid".
26:09.420 --> 26:11.420
That sounds strangely cute...
26:11.420 --> 26:14.400
Stop spouting that nonsense!
26:14.400 --> 26:17.240
That aside, aren't you feeling anything right now?
26:17.240 --> 26:21.350
This is one of the Shikizaki swords that that woman was talking about earlier, you know.
26:22.490 --> 26:24.100
Nothing at all?
26:24.750 --> 26:28.030
I don't really want to take it when it's all sticky like that.
26:28.030 --> 26:29.330
It's really valuable, right?
26:29.330 --> 26:31.480
Should you really be carrying it around like that?
26:31.480 --> 26:33.250
Quite the opposite.
26:33.250 --> 26:37.820
If I didn't keep it stored inside my body, I'd be worried about the safety of such a valuable treasure.
26:38.270 --> 26:41.100
On top of that, this thing has an interesting power.
26:41.100 --> 26:44.980
That woman called it poison, but this thing is the ultimate medicine!
26:44.980 --> 26:47.250
When you hold it, you feel its desire to cut off people's heads!
26:48.460 --> 26:50.040
Houfuku Zettou! {報復絶刀}
26:48.460 --> 26:50.040
Note: Absolute Retribution Strike
26:50.040 --> 26:50.700
Houfuku
26:50.040 --> 26:50.700
Zettou
26:56.260 --> 26:59.970
Kyotouryuu, first dance: Lily of the Valley.
26:59.970 --> 27:02.970
Then how about this?
27:06.920 --> 27:08.600
Houfuku Zettou!
27:08.770 --> 27:10.060
Kyotouryuu: Chrysanthemum!
27:13.650 --> 27:14.110
Huh?
27:14.950 --> 27:15.650
You little...
27:15.650 --> 27:16.400
You saw through—
27:16.400 --> 27:17.740
You're so noisy!
27:21.280 --> 27:22.950
Let me thank you.
27:22.950 --> 27:26.320
It's been a long time since I've been surprised at anyone.
27:26.320 --> 27:28.460
You use your arms and legs as swords...
27:28.460 --> 27:31.420
You know your stuff, I guess you really are a swordsman.
27:31.610 --> 27:34.950
I'm not nearly as surprising as you though.
27:34.950 --> 27:36.340
Nor...
27:36.340 --> 27:38.270
as surprising as that "Kanna".
27:38.270 --> 27:41.360
Did you notice anything from that attack?
27:41.360 --> 27:44.760
The technique I just used isn't meant to catch swords.
27:44.760 --> 27:48.310
Kyotouryuu: Chrysanthemum is a technique that breaks your opponent's sword in two.
27:49.110 --> 27:51.340
That sword is definitely weird.
27:53.750 --> 27:55.250
What are you talking about?
27:55.250 --> 27:56.470
Of course it's weird!
27:56.470 --> 27:58.940
If would be strange if it didn't seem weird.
27:58.940 --> 28:03.490
This Zettou Kanna was created with toughness as its main focus.
28:03.490 --> 28:08.470
Swords are expendable, so when you use them they'll break or bend and lose their ability to cut.
28:08.470 --> 28:10.490
However, this Kanna is different.
28:10.490 --> 28:12.870
It can't ever be broken or bent.
28:12.870 --> 28:15.560
That's why it always cuts so well.
28:15.560 --> 28:16.530
Wow...
28:16.530 --> 28:21.370
Even though it's a straight sword, no matter what you do it doesn't chip.
28:21.370 --> 28:24.610
It's a Japanese sword that wouldn't break even if elephants trampled it.
28:24.610 --> 28:26.860
It'd sell for a really high price too!
28:27.850 --> 28:29.480
I did some research and found out...
28:29.480 --> 28:37.140
Even though that Shikizaki geezer was a swordsmith, he also dabbled in the occult and alchemy.
28:37.140 --> 28:40.050
Rather suspicious methods, don't you think?
28:40.050 --> 28:44.160
A guy who pulls swords out of his mouth like you is 12 times more suspicious.
28:44.160 --> 28:47.470
There was a reason for that little story.
28:47.470 --> 28:51.610
You must now understand that Kyotouryuu cannot match up to Shikizaki's swords.
28:51.610 --> 28:54.540
Your sword-breaking technique couldn't break it after all!
28:54.790 --> 28:58.800
I see that Kyotouryuu aims to destroy the opponent's weapons.
28:58.800 --> 29:00.640
Really, that's outstanding!
29:00.640 --> 29:03.720
I would have loved to see you do it though!
29:05.570 --> 29:09.100
Kyotouryuu, second dance: Daffodil.
29:09.950 --> 29:13.390
This time I will definitely shatter that Zettou Kanna.
29:13.550 --> 29:15.130
Idiot!
29:19.740 --> 29:21.140
What do you mean shatter it?!
29:21.140 --> 29:24.320
If I brought it like that to the Shogunate, they'd make me commit harakiri!
29:24.320 --> 29:25.110
Ah...
29:25.110 --> 29:28.490
Didn't you listen to a single word I was saying?
29:28.490 --> 29:33.360
It's not like I said I'd accept your request anyway...
29:33.360 --> 29:35.180
That's not the problem here!
29:35.180 --> 29:37.380
Don't you understand the value of things?
29:37.380 --> 29:39.170
That's right!
29:39.170 --> 29:45.090
As one who understands the value of things, smashing something of monetary worth is unthinkable to me.
29:45.090 --> 29:45.800
Yep.
29:47.930 --> 29:49.950
How about I start off with this?
29:49.950 --> 29:51.760
It's been a while, little kitty.
29:52.090 --> 29:53.950
Maniwa Koumori...
29:53.950 --> 29:55.550
Don't be so mad.
29:55.550 --> 30:00.110
Ninja may be traitors, but sneakiness is our selling point. {卑怯卑劣が売りなんだから。}{sneaky cowardice is our selling point?}
30:00.110 --> 30:00.980
Why you...
30:00.980 --> 30:05.480
We'll have plenty of time to talk about that later, Miss strategian.
30:05.480 --> 30:08.450
Nice and slowly, after I destroy this Kyotouryuu guy!
30:08.450 --> 30:10.460
Shichika, defeat him!
30:10.460 --> 30:13.490
Actually, that Kanna has got me riled up.
30:13.490 --> 30:15.620
Like I said, don't break it!
30:15.620 --> 30:17.160
Yeah, yeah.
30:17.160 --> 30:19.270
If you have any other requests, say so now.
30:19.270 --> 30:20.920
I'm going to end this right now.
30:20.920 --> 30:22.800
Well, in that case...
30:22.800 --> 30:25.760
If at all possible, do it with a flashy move.
30:25.760 --> 30:30.490
I'll have to hand in a report describing how we obtained the sword.
30:30.490 --> 30:36.120
If you have some cool move that'll capture the reader's attention, I'll ask that you use it now!
30:36.120 --> 30:39.460
Once again, don't destroy that sword, even accidentally.
30:39.460 --> 30:42.480
If you do, this story will end at chapter one!
30:42.910 --> 30:45.440
Chapter one? Are you writing a book?
30:45.440 --> 30:47.640
I'd also like to do that sometime in the future.
30:47.640 --> 30:49.350
It'd sell!
30:49.350 --> 30:51.450
I guess I'll show you something flashy then.
30:51.450 --> 30:52.990
Sorry to keep you waiting, Koumori.
30:52.990 --> 30:53.790
Wha... hey!
30:57.660 --> 30:59.370
No no, it was me delaying this.
30:59.370 --> 31:00.770
What are you doing?
31:00.770 --> 31:02.920
It's not going to be much of a fight like that!
31:02.920 --> 31:03.980
Yep.
31:03.980 --> 31:06.090
I'm not a swordsman, after all.
31:06.090 --> 31:09.770
I'm particular about this sword, so being beaten by you here wouldn't be very shinobi of me.
31:06.090 --> 31:09.760
Note: "shinobi" also means "to steal"
31:09.770 --> 31:12.130
Oops, was that a pun?
31:12.130 --> 31:13.350
I don't care.
31:13.350 --> 31:14.310
I'll beat you either way.
31:14.310 --> 31:18.890
You're no match for me if I fight with ninjutsu.
31:18.890 --> 31:21.520
My actual battlefield experience is on a different level from yours.
31:22.530 --> 31:24.460
So far this has just been a welcoming reception.
31:24.460 --> 31:28.160
Just think of it as a bad habit of mine.
31:28.160 --> 31:29.700
I'm going to be serious from now on.
31:29.840 --> 31:31.260
Stop screwing around!
31:31.260 --> 31:34.540
That thing isn't just a decoration for you to get your drool all over!
31:34.540 --> 31:36.870
Take it out! Take it out right now!
31:36.870 --> 31:40.490
Geez, such a noisy little kitty.
31:40.490 --> 31:41.780
Fine...
31:41.780 --> 31:44.000
Oh? You're unexpectedly cooperati—
31:54.380 --> 31:55.430
Ow...
32:01.500 --> 32:02.430
Huh?
32:06.070 --> 32:08.420
Damn, that was close.
32:08.420 --> 32:11.370
That kid is really something.
32:11.370 --> 32:14.920
Though I was expecting something like that, little kitty.
32:25.150 --> 32:26.240
What's this?
32:26.240 --> 32:28.000
Oh, you're awake?
32:29.070 --> 32:31.140
Don't worry, I'll be killing you soon.
32:31.140 --> 32:31.800
Koumori!!
32:31.800 --> 32:35.410
You probably think you've found something good,
32:35.410 --> 32:36.610
but that's too naive!
32:36.610 --> 32:39.810
He may be used to battling, but he's never been on a battlefield.
32:39.810 --> 32:41.540
You're just a coward who runs away.
32:41.540 --> 32:44.600
Hey hey, what are you blabbing about?
32:44.600 --> 32:49.340
Isn't a wise person supposed to fight strength using intellect, Miss strategian?
32:49.340 --> 32:52.230
All you do is bully weaker people!
32:52.230 --> 32:58.680
I come up with strategies that allow the weak to challenge the strong, by whittling away their life and spirit.
32:58.680 --> 33:00.270
Don't even compare us, you lowlife!
33:00.270 --> 33:03.080
I see strategians are also good at running their mouths off.
33:03.080 --> 33:05.150
Though even so, that's not what you did, is it?
33:05.150 --> 33:05.750
What?
33:05.750 --> 33:07.510
"Fall for me"?
33:07.510 --> 33:10.270
Come on, that's pretty wild!
33:10.270 --> 33:13.590
I was so surprised I accidentally spat out those shuriken.
33:13.850 --> 33:16.210
That attack wasn't intentional?
33:16.210 --> 33:18.350
It was way too embarrassing for me to bear.
33:20.020 --> 33:25.000
That's touching, I'd have liked someone to say that to me.
33:25.000 --> 33:28.760
Well I overheard all the information I needed, so it's fine.
33:28.760 --> 33:30.440
Hurry up and kill me!
33:30.440 --> 33:33.340
Stop trying to act so dignified, little kitty.
33:33.340 --> 33:38.780
Even while you say that, you're trying to think of a way to outsmart me, right?
33:38.780 --> 33:42.490
You're even more tricky than me. {totally not what he says. help. あんたの腹の中は、俺以上に混沌としてるぜ}
33:43.530 --> 33:46.040
Don't worry, I won't kill you.
33:46.040 --> 33:49.570
I deliberately missed with that shuriken attack earlier.
33:50.590 --> 33:52.990
You don't understand the concept of moderation do you?
33:52.990 --> 33:56.040
If one had even nicked me, I would have died! {nicked? glanced? hit? かすったりしようものなら、わたしは絶対に死んでいたぞ。}
33:56.040 --> 33:58.130
You don't know how fragile I am.
33:58.130 --> 34:01.020
That's not something you should be bragging about!
34:01.020 --> 34:04.430
I'll torture you when I return, so bear with it a little longer.
34:04.430 --> 34:08.600
I'm sure you're not completely clueless about the location of the remaining swords.
34:08.930 --> 34:10.950
Though since this is the end I guess I'll ask you.
34:10.950 --> 34:14.400
How about turning your back on the Shogunate and following us?
34:14.400 --> 34:16.580
I'll be sure to give you a piece of the action.
34:16.580 --> 34:17.530
I decline.
34:17.530 --> 34:19.950
People who work for money can't be trusted.
34:19.950 --> 34:21.860
You're afraid of being betrayed?
34:21.860 --> 34:24.600
I'd say it's more strange to trust in a ninja.
34:24.600 --> 34:26.410
Now then...
34:30.410 --> 34:34.820
I'm sure you've been thinking it, but the truth is you're not actually a hostage.
34:34.820 --> 34:36.470
How about this?
34:36.470 --> 34:40.970
What if I changed my appearance to that of yours?
34:53.730 --> 34:56.780
This way even that Kyotouryuu guy will let down his guard.
34:57.780 --> 35:00.310
You must be aware of my ability, right?
35:00.310 --> 35:03.710
After all, I found Kanna under your orders, then stole it.
35:08.180 --> 35:13.450
After I kill that Kyotouryuu guy, maybe I'll transform into him to kill you.
35:13.450 --> 35:17.400
Sorry, but I'll have you wait there until then.
35:17.400 --> 35:17.840
Wait!
35:18.170 --> 35:20.570
I originally betrayed you for money,
35:20.570 --> 35:25.990
but even were it not for that, if i had known what kind of person you were from the start, I wouldn't have worked with you.
35:25.990 --> 35:28.850
Even that invitation just now was just so I could work with you again,
35:30.220 --> 35:32.870
and then betray you again.
35:33.690 --> 35:37.420
There's no one in this world who'd stay by your side.
35:41.860 --> 35:43.320
That's strange...
35:48.640 --> 35:50.920
Where on earth did they go?
35:52.650 --> 35:54.260
Leave the island, huh...
35:55.120 --> 35:56.170
This late...
35:57.090 --> 35:58.800
What a hassle.
36:03.190 --> 36:07.730
It's true that Kyotouryuu is a particularly troublesome opponent against Shikizaki's Deviant Blades.
36:07.730 --> 36:10.980
I'll have to make use of this chance to kill him.
36:11.250 --> 36:13.800
He's dead for sure. It's too bad...
36:13.800 --> 36:18.710
Well, once that woman set her eyes on him, his luck had already run out.
36:19.210 --> 36:19.900
Here I go.
36:20.520 --> 36:25.250
The premise is I barely escaped with my life from captivity.
36:25.250 --> 36:27.470
Before he can say anything, embrace him...
36:27.470 --> 36:28.830
And then kill.
36:30.580 --> 36:32.370
Shichika!
36:41.820 --> 36:43.430
Kyotouryuu: Peony!
36:43.430 --> 36:44.030
Kyotouryuu
36:43.430 --> 36:44.030
Peony
36:45.820 --> 36:46.930
Why?!
36:49.970 --> 36:51.310
What was wrong? The disguise?
36:51.310 --> 36:54.980
No, this isn't even a disguise, my transformation was perfect!
36:57.170 --> 36:58.900
Now that I look, it's Togame?
36:58.900 --> 36:59.880
This guy...
36:59.880 --> 37:01.820
He used that technique without even knowing who I was?!
37:01.820 --> 37:03.000
Huh?
37:03.000 --> 37:05.320
Wait, then I guess you're Koumori?
37:05.320 --> 37:06.270
Guess?
37:06.270 --> 37:07.830
Y-You...
37:07.830 --> 37:10.000
Can't you even recognize who you're facing?!
37:10.000 --> 37:14.310
Well, today's the first time I've ever seen another human besides Nee-chan.
37:14.310 --> 37:15.750
I can't recognize faces that quickly.
37:15.750 --> 37:17.310
What the hell?
37:17.310 --> 37:18.700
This wasn't even a question of disguise!
37:18.700 --> 37:21.570
From the beginning, this guy couldn't even differentiate between people?
37:21.570 --> 37:22.880
That was close...
37:22.880 --> 37:25.180
If it was her, she'd have died.
37:25.420 --> 37:27.330
This is beyond boonies...
37:27.330 --> 37:28.600
This guy's an animal!
37:28.600 --> 37:32.120
She asked for a flashy move, but it turned out kind of boring.
37:32.910 --> 37:33.780
You...
37:33.780 --> 37:36.770
Do you really want to help that woman so badly?
37:37.030 --> 37:39.020
I'm asking if you want to be used by her!
37:39.020 --> 37:39.680
Used?
37:39.680 --> 37:43.640
Didn't you think there was something strange about her story?
37:43.640 --> 37:47.150
Why does the Shogunate suddenly want to collect Shikizaki's swords after all this time?
37:47.150 --> 37:50.020
That was... because they fear a revolt?
37:50.350 --> 37:52.200
That is indeed a reason.
37:52.200 --> 37:53.580
Correct, however...
37:53.580 --> 37:57.880
don't you think it sounds too convenient?
37:57.880 --> 38:02.750
The Shogunate today doesn't hold the same reverence for Shikizaki's swords as Shogun Kyuu did.
38:02.750 --> 38:04.340
They're far more pragmatic.
38:04.340 --> 38:10.220
Ultimately, collecting up the swords this time is just a means for that woman to gain recognition.
38:10.220 --> 38:12.270
Togame the strategian...
38:12.270 --> 38:18.100
It's nothing but a move on her part to gain fame within the army as general director.
38:18.100 --> 38:20.820
I don't really understand that recognition stuff,
38:20.820 --> 38:24.280
but isn't general director of the army already pretty high up? {fix 軍所総監督って時点で、そこそこ偉いんじゃないのか}
38:24.280 --> 38:27.140
That woman isn't happy with that level.
38:27.140 --> 38:28.650
She's aiming for the top.
38:28.650 --> 38:30.600
Don't you know what it means to doubt someone?
38:30.600 --> 38:36.180
That young woman will use any dirty tactics she needs to rise to the top of the system.
38:36.180 --> 38:38.960
Raw strength isn't everything in this world.
38:38.960 --> 38:41.820
When we first met, she terrified me.
38:41.820 --> 38:44.050
There is ambition in her eyes.
38:44.050 --> 38:47.430
You can sense her willingness to sacrifice anyone and anything for her goals.
38:47.430 --> 38:50.140
She was perfectly willing to use the Maniwa corps, too.
38:50.140 --> 38:54.390
A fearsome ninja brigade made up of professional assassins, you know? Madness!
38:54.970 --> 38:57.810
And she is merely using you too, Kyotouryuu head!
38:58.340 --> 39:00.620
Is it going to end here?
39:00.620 --> 39:02.730
In this place?
39:03.000 --> 39:05.440
So before you were betrayed, you betrayed others?
39:05.440 --> 39:06.400
That's right.
39:06.400 --> 39:08.930
There's no way I'd follow that woman.
39:08.930 --> 39:12.110
Where do you think her ultimate aim lies?
39:12.110 --> 39:13.870
The right hand of the Shogun!
39:14.660 --> 39:16.970
The current Shogun is getting old.
39:16.970 --> 39:19.010
It won't be long before he retires.
39:19.010 --> 39:24.960
When that happens, I'm sure you can imagine what the natural step will be for the young lieutenant at his side?
39:24.960 --> 39:26.090
Ruling the world...
39:26.090 --> 39:31.010
I threw away my name and my family, all for it to end on this island?
39:31.010 --> 39:34.550
That's not really something to condemn her for...
39:34.550 --> 39:39.510
Well, for someone like you who was used, I'm sure it doesn't feel right.
39:39.510 --> 39:41.440
I don't really care about being used.
39:41.440 --> 39:43.550
Being used and using others is the way of the world.
39:43.550 --> 39:48.350
However, my problem in this case is the reason I was used!
39:48.350 --> 39:52.620
In case you don't know, my head isn't that great, so saying stuff like that doesn't really get through to me.
39:53.420 --> 39:58.750
That woman is the daughter of the leader of the last rebellion, Hida Takahito!
39:58.750 --> 40:03.170
Who can deny the motivations of rebels?
40:03.170 --> 40:06.840
If things had gone better, she'd have been the princess in her castle, ruling over a whole country.
40:06.840 --> 40:08.320
I can already see it.
40:08.320 --> 40:10.760
It's within my grasp!
40:10.760 --> 40:14.350
That woman is aiming for promotion without a care for the means.
40:14.350 --> 40:17.110
She aims to be the right hand man to the current Shogun.
40:17.110 --> 40:19.160
I'm sure you understand what that means.
40:19.160 --> 40:21.000
Father's dreams...
40:21.000 --> 40:22.310
Father's regrets...
40:22.310 --> 40:27.030
She was willing to ask for help from her father's enemies to collect those swords?
40:27.030 --> 40:30.470
It must be clear to you by now what she's planning...
40:30.470 --> 40:31.950
Revenge!
40:31.950 --> 40:34.870
I should have been able to avenge father's death!
40:34.870 --> 40:38.360
It's revenge for having her whole family exterminated!
40:39.070 --> 40:44.510
After all, that girl was watching as her family was killed!
40:51.010 --> 40:55.180
Even if that was the only possibility, to ask the person responsible for my father's death...
40:55.180 --> 40:58.130
Even if not that, to depend on his son...
40:58.130 --> 40:59.630
Even though I'm the son of her enemy...
40:59.630 --> 41:03.350
Maybe I was wrong to rely on Kyotouryuu after all...
41:03.350 --> 41:07.110
She's an insect born from the leader of the rebellion.
41:07.110 --> 41:12.220
I don't want to hear about treachery or cowardice from her!
41:14.280 --> 41:15.730
This is a good body.
41:15.730 --> 41:17.560
Allow me to use it as a reference.
41:17.560 --> 41:21.700
Your strength, musculature, and balance are all a perfect fit.
41:22.640 --> 41:23.840
Though,
41:23.840 --> 41:29.590
you've got the pain from when my shuriken hit your arms and legs, so I have a bit of an advantage.
41:29.960 --> 41:33.640
Just so you know, an attack like that doesn't hurt or even itch anymore.
41:33.640 --> 41:38.470
Seems it, so I guess we're as equal as rock vs rock. {ie: rock-paper-scissors}
41:39.770 --> 41:42.370
Though my "rock" here is quite strong.
41:42.370 --> 41:43.440
Hey.
41:43.880 --> 41:47.510
Is there anyone else who knows Togame's secret?
41:47.510 --> 41:50.720
There's no way I'd just give away such intriguing information.
41:50.720 --> 41:53.840
So it'll be fine if I just finish you off here, right?
41:54.480 --> 41:57.280
You're suddenly in a fighting mood now that you're facing me?
41:58.970 --> 42:02.700
I am the 7th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
42:02.700 --> 42:03.830
Here I go! {推して参る}
42:04.880 --> 42:06.990
Don't try to act cool!
42:07.500 --> 42:08.580
Come!
42:08.580 --> 42:10.670
I'll finish you with an extremely flashy move!
42:10.960 --> 42:12.800
Ultimate secret technique!
42:14.840 --> 42:16.090
Houfuku Zettou!
42:21.560 --> 42:22.720
Wh-Why?!
42:22.720 --> 42:26.980
Kyotouryuu men don't have any skill whatsoever with a sword!
42:26.980 --> 42:29.190
We're not swordsmen who don't use swords,
42:29.190 --> 42:30.650
we're swordsmen who can't use them!
42:32.480 --> 42:33.900
I'm going to be...
42:34.490 --> 42:36.820
Incidentally, I called it "ultimate secret technique",
42:36.820 --> 42:41.160
but the reason it sounds so generic is because it's an ultimate move I only came up with yesterday! {needs fixing for meaning of かってえ}
42:42.410 --> 42:47.290
The opponent take 7 hits from this secret technique, getting ripped apart in the blink of an eye!
42:47.290 --> 42:47.920
Kyouka
42:47.290 --> 42:47.920
Suigetsu
42:47.710 --> 42:49.210
So for now, I'll call it:
42:48.500 --> 42:49.210
Kachou
42:48.500 --> 42:49.210
Fuugetsu
42:50.090 --> 42:50.800
Hyakka
42:50.090 --> 42:50.800
Ryouran
42:52.880 --> 42:53.550
Ryuuryoku
42:52.880 --> 42:53.550
Kakou
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
H
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
i
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
k
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
a
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
R
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
a
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
k
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
u
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
y
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
o
42:54.630 --> 42:55.300
u
42:56.590 --> 42:57.260
Kinjou
42:56.590 --> 42:57.260
Tenka
42:59.640 --> 43:01.970
Kyotouryuu: Shichika Hachiretsu! {TL note: 7 petal 8 fissure}
42:59.640 --> 43:00.250
Rakka
42:59.640 --> 43:00.250
Rouzeki
43:06.600 --> 43:07.310
Shichika Hachiretsu
43:12.020 --> 43:13.730
What a state I'm in now...
43:13.730 --> 43:15.530
And I'm from a samurai bloodline too!
43:15.530 --> 43:17.780
Before my appearance becomes any more embarrassing, I've got to...
43:20.610 --> 43:23.030
It's not like this rope can't loosen or unravel...
43:23.030 --> 43:25.830
It's my strategies that are infallible and sharp!
43:25.830 --> 43:28.040
There's no way I can lose to this!
43:30.370 --> 43:31.960
So you were here.
43:35.300 --> 43:37.760
So that's the "eye" he was talking about.
43:39.680 --> 43:43.310
To me at least, it sparkles in quite a pretty way.
43:46.100 --> 43:48.560
Well for now, I've got one of them.
43:52.150 --> 43:56.780
Why does he sound like he's just getting started?
44:00.990 --> 44:02.280
Shichika, what about Koumori?!
44:02.280 --> 44:05.530
I finished him off with an awesome move.
44:05.530 --> 44:06.580
You missed it.
44:08.790 --> 44:09.830
That's too bad.
44:09.830 --> 44:13.750
Don't get me wrong, I did it for you.
44:14.130 --> 44:20.340
It's not that I want money or that I've been lured in by Shikizaki's swords.
44:20.340 --> 44:23.760
And I don't have a shred of obligation to help the Shogunate either.
44:24.180 --> 44:26.680
I've just decided I want to help you.
44:27.720 --> 44:29.730
I've fallen for you.
44:52.870 --> 44:53.830
Togame-san.
44:55.170 --> 44:59.090
I wanted to let you know I approve of this decision.
44:59.090 --> 45:00.420
Is that right?
45:00.420 --> 45:02.170
I thought for sure you'd object.
45:02.720 --> 45:04.340
I suppose...
45:04.340 --> 45:10.060
Well to be honest, I don't really care at all about the actual basis of your journey.
45:10.060 --> 45:15.770
If that child has found a reason to leave this island, I approve of it.
45:15.770 --> 45:22.030
He's been on this island for 20 years, training and studying hard,
45:22.030 --> 45:25.740
and it'd simply be too much of a waste if he didn't accomplish anything.
45:26.700 --> 45:30.950
Just so you know, it's not going to be any sort of simple journey.
45:30.950 --> 45:37.420
There's the Maniwa corps and Sabi Hakuhei of course, and on top of that, any other monsters that may lie where we're headed.
45:37.420 --> 45:39.340
Demons and serpents...
45:39.340 --> 45:42.590
I'm bringing along your brother to fight those kinds of battles.
45:43.010 --> 45:45.300
You're quite kind, aren't you?
45:46.180 --> 45:49.560
You truly care about him, don't you.
45:50.010 --> 45:53.850
I have no worries entrusting him to your care.
45:55.730 --> 45:57.150
I'm...
45:58.310 --> 46:02.070
I'm not such a kind woman.
46:04.900 --> 46:09.070
Yasuri Shichika, I have four directives for you.
46:09.070 --> 46:09.910
Four?
46:09.910 --> 46:10.330
Let's hear them.
46:10.780 --> 46:13.580
First I'll repeat what I said earlier - don't break the swords.
46:13.580 --> 46:14.410
Understood.
46:14.410 --> 46:16.170
I will protect the swords.
46:16.170 --> 46:16.750
The second?
46:16.750 --> 46:18.380
Protect me.
46:18.380 --> 46:22.670
Even though our objective is the collection of Shikizaki's swords, if I die it'll all be in vain.
46:22.920 --> 46:23.840
Understood.
46:23.840 --> 46:25.720
I will protect you.
46:25.720 --> 46:26.430
The third?
46:26.760 --> 46:28.760
Protect yourself.
46:28.760 --> 46:32.060
This is not me being considerate of you or anything.
46:32.060 --> 46:35.890
Until we collect all 12 of Shikizaki's swords, dying is unacceptable.
46:36.140 --> 46:37.140
Understood.
46:37.140 --> 46:39.100
I will protect myself.
46:39.100 --> 46:39.820
The fourth?
46:40.400 --> 46:41.730
Protect yourself.
46:42.400 --> 46:45.650
This is me being considerate of you.
46:47.150 --> 46:48.320
Don't die.
46:48.320 --> 46:51.410
The road will be harsh, but you mustn't die.
46:51.410 --> 46:52.280
You can do that right?
46:52.280 --> 46:53.700
I won't let you say you can't.
46:53.700 --> 46:55.290
Hurry up and say you get it!
46:56.000 --> 46:58.040
I completely understand.
46:58.040 --> 46:59.120
So what do we do now?
46:59.120 --> 47:00.460
No need to rush ahead.
47:00.460 --> 47:02.340
When we get to the city, I'll buy you some clothes.
47:02.340 --> 47:03.340
Got it.
47:03.340 --> 47:04.340
I love you.
47:04.340 --> 47:05.090
Yep.
47:05.090 --> 47:07.220
Love me as much as you want.
47:08.180 --> 47:12.430
A man unknown to anyone, a woman who closed her heart.
47:12.430 --> 47:15.720
And so those two began their journey.
47:16.060 --> 47:21.150
With no destination nor destiny, a journey to collect swords.
47:21.900 --> 47:24.320
Demons and serpents await them.
47:25.030 --> 47:28.950
The story of Katanagatari on this month and this evening...
47:28.950 --> 47:30.660
ends here.
47:36.500 --> 47:37.160
Though...
47:37.910 --> 47:41.040
That child is so weak... will they be okay?
47:44.090 --> 47:50.800
tadayou nami ni yorisou hana wa
47:44.090 --> 47:50.800
漂う波に寄り添う華は
47:44.090 --> 47:50.800
The flowers drifting in the waves,
47:50.800 --> 47:53.510
