WEBVTT
00:07.980 --> 00:11.530
The 7th Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
00:12.340 --> 00:18.160
The army general director in support of critical tasks under direct control of Yanari Shogun of the Owari Shogunate,
00:18.160 --> 00:19.540
Togame the Strategian.
00:20.470 --> 00:26.370
These two have begun their journey to collect Shikizaki Kiki's perfected Deviant Blades.
00:29.150 --> 00:34.800
It is said those who wield those 12 swords can rule the world.
00:34.800 --> 00:39.730
After obtaining Zettou Kanna, previously held by Maniwa Koumori,
00:39.730 --> 00:45.440
they have arrived at the city of Kyoto to prepare for the journey.
00:47.020 --> 00:49.490
Are you shocked at such an unfamiliar sight?
00:49.490 --> 00:52.400
Yeah, there's people everywhere...
00:52.400 --> 00:54.650
With this many, I really can't tell anyone apart.
00:54.650 --> 00:56.460
There's no need to tell them apart or anything.
00:56.460 --> 00:57.240
Really?
00:57.240 --> 00:58.530
Yes.
00:58.530 --> 01:03.280
If you try to study every person that crosses your way, you'll go crazy in no time.
01:03.280 --> 01:06.560
I feel like I've gone crazy already, Togame.
01:06.560 --> 01:08.750
Hey, I'm over here!
01:09.350 --> 01:11.940
I can't tell you apart from others your height...
01:11.940 --> 01:13.990
How bad can you get...
01:13.990 --> 01:14.680
Um...
01:14.680 --> 01:14.990
What?
01:14.990 --> 01:16.600
Aren't you cold?
01:20.490 --> 01:21.280
No?
01:21.930 --> 01:23.910
Don't mind him.
01:23.910 --> 01:26.400
Think of him as a bear or some other animal.
01:26.400 --> 01:28.060
O-Okay...
01:29.580 --> 01:31.300
Is something weird?
01:31.300 --> 01:36.470
If you ask me that, I'd have to say everything about you...
01:37.230 --> 01:40.010
With that outfit you do look a bit...
01:41.010 --> 01:42.000
I don't like any of them.
01:42.310 --> 01:44.780
Staring a gift horse in the mouth, huh...
01:44.780 --> 01:47.700
I don't need anything like this to begin with.
01:47.700 --> 01:49.000
It'll make it hard to move.
01:49.000 --> 01:53.180
People were looking at you as if you were naked back there.
01:53.180 --> 01:54.670
I don't really care.
01:54.670 --> 01:56.260
It's a problem for me.
01:56.260 --> 02:00.330
Walking along with a young, naked man in the depths of winter?
02:00.330 --> 02:02.990
What would people think of a woman like that?
02:02.990 --> 02:04.110
What would they think?
02:04.110 --> 02:10.950
They'd see me as some dominatrix and harass me anywhere I go by throwing rocks as we pass.
02:10.950 --> 02:12.810
That'd be a problem.
02:12.810 --> 02:15.360
If you agree then go find some clothes.
02:15.360 --> 02:17.940
Living on the mainland comes with a lot of hassles...
02:17.940 --> 02:20.780
And yet everyone lives through them.
02:20.780 --> 02:22.760
Have you decided what you'd like?
02:22.760 --> 02:23.680
Yes.
02:23.680 --> 02:25.760
I'll take this and this and that and that and that please.
02:25.760 --> 02:27.230
Wow, that many?
02:27.230 --> 02:28.780
I don't need that many.
02:29.680 --> 02:30.840
They're for me!
02:31.690 --> 02:34.410
Don't you already have a lot of clothes?
02:34.410 --> 02:36.450
Learn to appreciate a lady's fashion sense.
02:36.450 --> 02:38.090
I don't get it at all...
02:38.090 --> 02:39.890
You're the one I don't get.
02:40.200 --> 02:42.030
What's with that getup?
02:42.030 --> 02:43.780
I'm not naked so it's fine, isn't it?
02:43.780 --> 02:49.790
I suppose it qualifies as original, and you could say it's chic to flaunt such a weather-defying outfit,
02:49.790 --> 02:52.090
but I'm not a fan of it.
02:52.090 --> 02:55.650
I really don't get this whole like and dislike stuff.
02:59.760 --> 03:00.450
What?
03:00.450 --> 03:04.110
Yeah, sometimes you run into people like this.
03:04.110 --> 03:05.280
What do I do?
03:05.280 --> 03:07.030
Protect me.
03:07.030 --> 03:07.960
Understood.
03:07.960 --> 03:09.460
I will protect you.
03:09.870 --> 03:12.920
My, what pretty clothes you're wearing.
03:12.920 --> 03:16.700
If you don't wanna die, you know what to do.
03:16.700 --> 03:18.840
I have no intention of handing anything over.
03:20.650 --> 03:25.000
Also, if you guys don't want to die, keep your swords sheathed.
03:26.070 --> 03:27.270
What the hell are you—
03:29.620 --> 03:32.220
That's why I told you to keep them sheathed.
03:32.220 --> 03:33.720
Damn you!
03:38.280 --> 03:41.990
You guys would be dead if you were a little better at using those swords.
03:44.620 --> 03:45.740
Kyotouryuu hidden art...
03:46.940 --> 03:48.010
Wait, wait!
03:48.010 --> 03:50.150
Why are you finishing them off?
03:50.150 --> 03:51.250
I can't?
03:51.250 --> 03:52.240
You can't!
03:52.620 --> 03:54.620
Is that a mainland custom?
03:54.620 --> 03:56.780
It's common sense!
03:56.780 --> 04:01.510
They may be bad guys, but that doesn't mean you can just slaughter them.
04:04.270 --> 04:05.580
You're lucky.
04:05.580 --> 04:09.350
If I hadn't stopped him you really would have died.
04:09.350 --> 04:11.130
What a hassle...
04:11.130 --> 04:15.350
A man who knows no one, a woman who closed her heart.
04:15.350 --> 04:18.510
Thus their journey of hardship began.
04:19.580 --> 04:34.110
onore o harahara hana ni tatoete chirinuru o
04:19.580 --> 04:34.110
己をはらはら花に例えて 散りぬるを…
04:19.580 --> 04:34.110
Just like the flowers, I'll scatter away...
04:35.680 --> 04:40.870
tsumi aguneta guren no tama o
04:35.680 --> 04:40.870
摘みあぐねた紅蓮の霊を
04:35.680 --> 04:40.870
My crimson heart was furious,
04:41.490 --> 04:46.500
sarau ano hi areshi mune yori
04:41.490 --> 04:46.500
さらう彼の日 荒れし胸より
04:41.490 --> 04:46.500
the day it was plucked dry and snatched away
04:47.330 --> 04:52.860
osoruru mama mikoto wa habataite
04:47.330 --> 04:52.860
恐るるまま命は羽搏いて
04:47.330 --> 04:52.860
Even with my frightened heart,
04:52.860 --> 04:58.490
yagate yagate ten no hate ni
04:52.860 --> 04:58.490
やがて やがて 天の果てに
04:52.860 --> 04:58.490
my life takes flight, to the end of the sky
04:58.490 --> 05:04.340
akaku somare surechigai kira no yume o
04:58.490 --> 05:04.340
朱く染まれ すれ違い綺羅の夢を
04:58.490 --> 05:04.340
The dyed red, glittering dream we encountered by chance,
05:04.340 --> 05:12.870
ataeta mou machiwabite meiya ni samayoi
05:04.340 --> 05:12.870
与えたもう 待ち侘びて冥夜にさまよい
05:04.340 --> 05:12.870
I offer to you, waiting around, lost in the dark night
05:12.870 --> 05:16.040
tomoni moe youka
05:12.870 --> 05:16.040
共に燃えようか
05:12.870 --> 05:16.040
Shall we blaze away together?
05:16.290 --> 05:21.850
omoi ga harahara mau yue ni
05:16.290 --> 05:21.850
想いがはらはら舞う故に
05:16.290 --> 05:21.850
With our fluttering thoughts dancing along,
05:21.850 --> 05:27.680
watashi wa mayoi o kinjite
05:21.850 --> 05:27.680
私は迷いを禁じて
05:21.850 --> 05:27.680
I will no longer have any doubts
05:27.680 --> 05:33.470
mugen no kairou yori umareta
05:27.680 --> 05:33.470
無限の回廊より生まれた
05:27.680 --> 05:33.470
I'm heading towards the sky, to paint...
05:33.470 --> 05:41.240
kizuna o sara naru sora e egaite
05:33.470 --> 05:41.240
絆を更なる空へ描いて
05:33.470 --> 05:41.240
our bonds born from the endless corridor
05:41.240 --> 05:48.430
hana no chiranu uchi ni
05:41.240 --> 05:48.430
花の散らぬうちに
05:41.240 --> 05:48.430
As long as the flowers are still blooming
05:42.600 --> 05:49.110
Katana-
05:42.600 --> 05:49.110
gatari
05:49.110 --> 05:55.030
Zantou
05:49.110 --> 05:55.030
Namakura
05:55.030 --> 06:00.500
It's been a month since they started their search for Shikizaki Kiki's Deviant Blades.
06:00.500 --> 06:05.960
Togame and Shichika have headed to Inaba to find the second sword.
06:07.520 --> 06:09.590
Don't be so rough!
06:10.380 --> 06:12.040
I don't know how to hold back.
06:18.280 --> 06:21.270
Hey, do we have to keep doing this?
06:21.270 --> 06:25.690
Until you're able to recognize me clearly.
06:26.020 --> 06:30.480
It'll be troublesome if you don't learn to distinguish people.
06:30.480 --> 06:31.590
That's true.
06:32.280 --> 06:37.370
I just don't want to be mistaken for an assassin and killed if I call out to you as a joke.
06:37.630 --> 06:39.100
That's true.
06:39.100 --> 06:43.670
That's why I'm trying to learn your exact color and scent right now.
06:43.670 --> 06:46.050
Idiot, you're not allowed to bite, okay?
06:46.050 --> 06:47.790
You'll injure me if you do.
06:47.790 --> 06:48.500
How about licking?
06:48.500 --> 06:50.000
You're allowed to lick.
06:50.000 --> 06:52.230
Actually, go ahead and lick me to remember my taste.
06:52.230 --> 06:54.560
Stop squirming around though.
06:54.560 --> 06:56.420
When you pull on my hair it hurts.
06:56.420 --> 06:58.220
I guess.
06:59.580 --> 07:02.510
Training is a funny thing...
07:02.510 --> 07:05.540
At any rate, we'll be in Inaba tomorrow.
07:05.540 --> 07:08.920
Oh, that...
07:08.920 --> 07:10.120
What's it called again?
07:10.430 --> 07:12.160
Gekoku Castle.
07:12.160 --> 07:14.940
We're aiming for Zantou Namakura.
07:12.160 --> 07:14.940
Note: Blunt, the Decapitator
07:14.940 --> 07:16.730
That's a pretty weak-sounding name...
07:16.730 --> 07:19.090
That's Shikizaki's sense of irony.
07:19.090 --> 07:22.760
The main feature of Zantou is its unparalleled sharpness.
07:22.760 --> 07:27.170
It'll supposedly cut through absolutely anything effortlessly.
07:29.650 --> 07:34.720
So wait, what would happen if you tried to use Zantou to cut that tough Zettou?
07:35.160 --> 07:37.280
I can't say for sure without trying,
07:37.280 --> 07:42.300
but probably, the one that is less complete would yield.
07:42.300 --> 07:48.560
I think Zantou was made later, so if it came down to it, Zettou would probably be cut.
07:49.050 --> 07:52.260
There's a reason I chose to go after Namakura next.
07:52.750 --> 07:54.870
Our opponent this time is a swordsman.
07:54.870 --> 07:57.080
A swordsman would be an easier opponent than a ninja.
07:57.570 --> 08:01.240
He's a ronin named Uneri Ginkaku.
07:57.570 --> 08:01.240
Note: Masterless samurai
08:01.240 --> 08:03.800
Or maybe you could call him a castle lord.
08:04.870 --> 08:09.830
Long ago, when Shogun Kyuu ordered the sword hunt,
08:09.830 --> 08:13.650
its owner was a samurai serving the Tottori feudal lord named Uneri Kinkaku.
08:13.650 --> 08:18.510
But in an act unbefitting of a samurai, Kinkaku refused to turn over Zantou.
08:18.510 --> 08:21.570
"It belongs to me" he said.
08:23.070 --> 08:29.200
After that, he used Zantou to repulse the army Shogun Kyuu sent after him, killing over 10,000 soldiers.
08:29.200 --> 08:30.410
10,000?!
08:30.410 --> 08:35.440
Its current owner, Uneri Ginkaku, is supposedly his 10th generation descendant.
08:37.440 --> 08:42.640
Entrance front the through in walk just to ninja a as embarrassing pretty it's but,
08:42.640 --> 08:45.290
helped be can't it case this in, well.
08:45.290 --> 08:47.250
Myself introduce me let.
08:47.250 --> 08:52.760
Corps Maniwa the of heads 12 the of one, Shirasagi Maniwa I'm.
08:52.760 --> 08:57.220
"Shirasagi talk-reverse" me call people.
09:00.230 --> 09:08.230
Namakura Zantou, anything through slice to able as heralded is that sword fearsome the — that taking be I'll.
09:08.230 --> 09:12.800
Lonely get I'll or me ignore don't, now hey.
09:12.800 --> 09:16.300
Much that it see to want really you do or?
09:16.300 --> 09:22.370
Know you, anyone to arts ninja my show just don't I,
09:22.370 --> 09:24.260
now on come.
09:25.540 --> 09:35.550
Are you trying to tell me that your "reverse talk" ninja art allows you to keep jabbering on after being sliced in half?
09:37.370 --> 09:38.180
Woah!
09:38.180 --> 09:39.430
Wh-When did you...
09:39.430 --> 09:41.480
G-Ginkaku!
09:43.230 --> 09:45.140
Hiken: Zerosen.
09:47.020 --> 09:49.610
I got the tatami mats dirty...
09:55.080 --> 09:58.230
Actually, I heard about this place from my dad.
09:58.230 --> 10:00.350
I've secretly been looking forward to it.
10:00.350 --> 10:05.030
Ah, Inaba today is no longer like what you've heard.
10:05.660 --> 10:10.290
The Inaba desert started rapidly expanding about 5 years ago.
10:10.290 --> 10:11.960
It's since swallowed up the whole Tottori domain.
10:12.340 --> 10:15.380
Today, it's an uninhabitable land.
10:15.380 --> 10:19.370
So what's that Uneri Ginkaku guy doing in a place like this?
10:19.370 --> 10:21.840
I told you, he's the lord of a castle.
10:21.840 --> 10:23.640
I don't get that.
10:23.640 --> 10:27.920
Isn't it pointless being a feudal lord in a land where no one lives?
10:27.920 --> 10:32.640
You'd think so, but of all the servants the Shogunate has sent there to scout it out,
10:32.640 --> 10:34.810
not a single one has returned.
10:34.810 --> 10:36.860
Cut first, ask later...
10:37.260 --> 10:40.650
He might have been lured by the poison of Shikizaki's sword,
10:40.650 --> 10:43.140
or he might have some other reason.
10:43.140 --> 10:45.270
So basically you have no clue?
10:45.270 --> 10:48.050
Didn't you say you specialize in brain work?
10:48.540 --> 10:50.460
Anything and everything I do is part of my plan.
10:50.460 --> 10:52.600
You needn't bother asking.
10:52.600 --> 10:53.940
Ah, that's right!
10:53.940 --> 10:57.710
That aside, you need to come up with a catchphrase.
10:58.140 --> 10:59.090
A catchphrase?
10:59.090 --> 11:00.020
Right.
11:00.020 --> 11:00.550
Whose?
11:00.550 --> 11:01.830
Yours.
11:03.750 --> 11:08.720
I went ahead and wrote about your successful venture last month.
11:08.720 --> 11:11.460
Ah, that report thing?
11:11.460 --> 11:17.060
That's right, like you asked, I took down that ninja guy in a flashy way.
11:17.300 --> 11:25.220
True as that is, I didn't actually see how flashy it was, so I couldn't write about it.
11:25.220 --> 11:27.530
I went out of the way to do as you asked too...
11:28.040 --> 11:29.570
I can't do anything about that.
11:29.570 --> 11:31.930
I can't write about what I didn't see.
11:31.930 --> 11:37.960
Though, it isn't really a huge problem, since you'll have more opportunities in the future.
11:37.960 --> 11:44.530
More importantly Shichika, when I was writing about how we obtained Kanna, I noticed one important thing.
11:45.670 --> 11:46.630
Important thing?
11:46.630 --> 11:48.260
You have a weak personality!
11:49.700 --> 11:54.230
...is how I figure I should react, but what's the problem, exactly?
11:54.230 --> 11:55.360
So naive!
11:55.360 --> 11:56.600
Are you an amateur?
11:56.600 --> 11:58.700
At everything but the sword arts. {'sword arts' -> 'my art'?}
11:58.700 --> 12:01.690
You can't afford to be so selfish from now on.
12:01.690 --> 12:02.030
What?
12:02.740 --> 12:09.130
No matter how I worded the report, that Maniwa Koumori ninja stood out more than you.
12:09.130 --> 12:11.880
I rewrote it and rewrote it but the result was the same.
12:11.880 --> 12:15.510
I just couldn't make you stand out more than Koumori.
12:15.510 --> 12:16.860
Wait a second...
12:16.860 --> 12:20.700
When I finished the final revision and read it over,
12:20.700 --> 12:25.000
no matter what, the only impression I got of you was that of a half-naked idiot.
12:25.000 --> 12:26.720
I said wait a second, Togame-san!
12:27.380 --> 12:33.840
Of course I'd lose in character to a guy who pulls swords from his mouth!
12:33.840 --> 12:36.750
But I won the fight, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?
12:36.750 --> 12:42.270
Of course, if you lose in fighting it'd be a problem, but it's also a problem if you lose in character.
12:42.900 --> 12:45.760
Your personality has almost nothing interesting about it!
12:45.760 --> 12:47.710
You don't hold back, do you?
12:47.710 --> 12:50.940
If I did, would I be able to write a captivating report?
12:50.940 --> 12:53.950
Just what kind of battle is she fighting?
12:54.280 --> 12:59.140
Incidentally, there are other ninja with far stronger personalities than Koumori, you know?
12:59.140 --> 13:01.870
Just among the ones I know, let's see...
13:02.380 --> 13:05.250
There's a ninja called Shirasagi who speaks backwards.
13:05.250 --> 13:08.740
No matter what, he'll speak with his words reversed.
13:08.740 --> 13:10.720
What's the point of that?
13:10.720 --> 13:13.840
He's trying his utmost not to be boring.
13:14.600 --> 13:17.860
Do ninja have to take that into consideration too?
13:17.860 --> 13:19.160
Those "Maniwani" guys...
13:19.160 --> 13:20.470
Maniwani?
13:20.470 --> 13:22.230
Ah, you shortened it.
13:22.230 --> 13:25.000
"Maniwa corps" is kind of hard to say.
13:25.000 --> 13:26.760
I'll bite my tongue on it eventually.
13:27.610 --> 13:29.180
Maniwani...
13:29.180 --> 13:30.070
Is it weird?
13:30.070 --> 13:31.120
It's good.
13:31.120 --> 13:32.920
Kind of cute. I approve.
13:32.920 --> 13:33.370
I see.
13:33.620 --> 13:34.810
Good job.
13:34.810 --> 13:36.540
That's the first intelligent thing you've said.
13:36.920 --> 13:37.870
Excellent.
13:37.870 --> 13:41.400
The readers will get to know you and come to understand your outlook.
13:41.400 --> 13:44.950
Your report sounds like a lot of work...
13:44.950 --> 13:46.700
Finally understand, do you?
13:46.700 --> 13:51.150
Well, it's true our opponents are extremely eccentric,
13:51.150 --> 13:56.320
so asking you to try to reach their level is probably too much.
13:56.320 --> 13:57.390
Even so Shichika,
13:57.390 --> 14:01.360
having said that, you still have to put in a minimum amount of effort.
14:02.170 --> 14:06.290
That said, for the time being we'll focus on your catchphrase.
14:06.290 --> 14:08.900
Is that really something you decide by thinking about it?
14:08.900 --> 14:13.510
Yeah, it has to give the reader a kind of "wow, this guy isn't normal" impression.
14:13.510 --> 14:16.200
I don't really mind if they think I'm normal...
14:16.480 --> 14:18.290
I can't have that.
14:18.290 --> 14:21.940
What'll happen if they get so bored they stop reading?
14:21.940 --> 14:25.280
Does a report have to be that interesting?
14:25.690 --> 14:26.980
Oh yeah!
14:26.980 --> 14:31.900
The genius swordsman Sabi Hakuhei's catchphrase is quite good.
14:31.900 --> 14:35.710
As annoying as it is to speak well of someone who betrayed me,
14:35.710 --> 14:39.000
even so, I must give recognition where recognition is due.
14:39.000 --> 14:41.270
I'll ask what it is just for reference.
14:43.560 --> 14:45.610
"I'll have you fall for me."
14:47.150 --> 14:50.640
I'd die if I had a catchphrase like that...
14:50.640 --> 14:51.470
Oh yeah!
14:51.470 --> 14:53.910
There is something I'm always saying!
14:54.260 --> 14:54.940
Oh?
14:54.940 --> 14:57.160
You know, that "Such a hassle!" thing.
14:57.160 --> 14:58.320
Cheerio!
14:59.910 --> 15:04.820
You idiot, what kind of apathetic phrase is that to set up your character with?
15:04.820 --> 15:08.840
Think about what it's like for me to write about such a stagnant character.
15:08.840 --> 15:12.640
What happens if I lose my will to write halfway through?
15:12.640 --> 15:13.220
I see...
15:13.220 --> 15:19.130
In the first place, if I described you constantly saying "it's a hassle it's a hassle!" while we're collecting swords,
15:19.130 --> 15:21.850
you'd come across as doing it unwillingly.
15:21.850 --> 15:23.230
So I should work enthusiastically?
15:23.230 --> 15:24.780
Exactly.
15:24.780 --> 15:30.240
Anyway, I just want to avoid looking like I forced you to do this.
15:30.240 --> 15:33.000
Pretty self-centered, aren't you...
15:33.000 --> 15:36.320
Though that said, I can't just come up with something on the spot.
15:36.670 --> 15:37.800
Don't worry.
15:37.800 --> 15:41.990
I figured you'd say that, so I came up with some in advance.
15:41.990 --> 15:45.160
Well I'm sure you'll like at least one.
15:45.160 --> 15:48.900
You'll have the privilege of picking out the final candidate.
15:48.900 --> 15:50.750
Pick whatever you like.
15:51.360 --> 15:53.810
That's a pretty intrusive privilege...
15:54.370 --> 15:56.330
Well, assuming I like any.
15:56.330 --> 15:57.050
Of course.
15:57.050 --> 16:01.100
Don't worry, I've prepared some really cool catchphrases.
16:01.100 --> 16:04.020
Hey,
16:01.100 --> 16:04.020
the gods
16:01.100 --> 16:04.020
love no one more
16:01.100 --> 16:04.020
than me, yeah ?
16:01.630 --> 16:04.970
"Hey, the gods loves no one more than me, yeah?"
16:05.460 --> 16:07.360
"H-Hey"...
16:07.360 --> 16:14.070
Didn't you say that you had brain power to make up for your lack of fighting prowess?
16:14.070 --> 16:15.190
What do you mean?
16:15.190 --> 16:18.780
A dumb person couldn't come up with that catchphrase.
16:18.780 --> 16:21.800
It's true it has a certain evil ring to it...
16:21.800 --> 16:26.310
Fundamentally, a catchphrase is meant to provoke your opponent.
16:26.310 --> 16:31.820
Like pointing out the difference in status, or expressing your complete self-confidence.
16:31.820 --> 16:39.110
If you announce your omnipotence beforehand, when you win, it'll look like an easy victory.
16:40.460 --> 16:43.010
It feels like I'd just become another bad guy...
16:44.750 --> 16:48.810
Frankly, it'd help me out if you were a little more of a bad guy.
16:49.530 --> 16:56.900
If I demonstrated the ability to handle a tough nut or a rowdy smartass, my own standing would improve.
16:57.400 --> 17:00.520
In that respect, you're a little too nice.
17:00.520 --> 17:01.890
So selfish...
17:02.490 --> 17:05.410
Apparently you're looking to get exiled.
17:02.500 --> 17:05.410
Apparently you're looking to get exiled.
17:06.030 --> 17:14.970
Why would a guy who was exiled for 20 years himself say that so proudly to someone else?
17:14.970 --> 17:15.840
Idiot.
17:15.840 --> 17:18.050
That's exactly why it sounds so convincing.
17:18.050 --> 17:20.470
I really don't need that...
17:21.920 --> 17:24.130
Such a picky guy...
17:24.450 --> 17:28.400
Does she intend to continue this pointless conversation the whole way there?
17:29.110 --> 17:32.290
I didn't think too much over the next one but...
17:32.290 --> 17:37.100
"However, by that point you'll have been torn into pieces."
17:37.100 --> 17:38.360
Something like that?
17:38.360 --> 17:40.110
Ah, whatever, that's fine!
17:40.110 --> 17:41.570
Let's go with that.
17:41.570 --> 17:43.500
I said that's fine.
17:43.500 --> 17:47.520
"However, by that point you'll have been torn into pieces."
17:47.520 --> 17:49.290
Yes, it sounds good.
17:50.450 --> 17:51.920
You're okay with this?
17:51.920 --> 17:53.700
I didn't expect that.
17:53.700 --> 17:58.660
It's not a choice I was expecting to really push while I was thinking it up.
17:58.660 --> 18:02.050
Though that said, it's certainly a work I'm proud of.
18:02.420 --> 18:04.530
Yeah, I'm totally shocked.
18:04.530 --> 18:05.700
It matches me so well!
18:05.700 --> 18:07.080
I see, I see.
18:07.080 --> 18:12.480
This idea was born from your super ultimate "Shichika Hachiretsu" move.
18:12.480 --> 18:13.770
I-I see.
18:14.120 --> 18:15.650
Yep, you can go ahead and thank me.
18:16.110 --> 18:18.100
You made my day.
18:18.100 --> 18:20.240
Indeed, I see, I see.
18:20.240 --> 18:23.070
Well if you like it then that's that.
18:24.120 --> 18:28.860
Though because you were so picky, this discussion went on longer than I thought it would.
18:29.460 --> 18:32.910
That said, not so long that we have to rush or anything.
18:32.910 --> 18:36.250
At this pace, we'll reach our destination around evening.
18:36.250 --> 18:37.060
Yeah...
18:37.060 --> 18:40.610
However, by that point you'll have been torn into pieces.
18:40.610 --> 18:41.770
Cheerio!!
18:43.510 --> 18:45.920
Do you not think?!
18:45.920 --> 18:47.580
You're so confusing...
18:48.220 --> 18:52.900
Incidentally, that "cheerio!" I've been using is my catchphrase.
18:52.900 --> 18:55.440
I-I see... I didn't really notice...
18:55.950 --> 19:02.190
"Cheerio" is a popular phrase in the Satsuma domain in Kyushu.{Norg: we gonna add 'in Kyuushuu' or does that make it too long? Also 藩!=県}
19:02.190 --> 19:05.450
It's not so much in the dialect, but more like part of the culture.
19:05.450 --> 19:13.790
I don't have any particular connection to Kyushu, but the expression "cheerio" just seems kind of cute to me. {Norg: took out the battle cry bit.}
19:14.270 --> 19:19.710
I'm actually quite proud of the effect it has when combined with my appearance.
19:20.350 --> 19:23.880
I'm sure it'll catch on once I submit my report to the Shogunate.
19:21.960 --> 19:23.880
Of course, as you are aware,
19:23.880 --> 19:28.380
the phrase originating from the Satsuma domain used to raise one's spirits is "chesuto".
19:28.380 --> 19:33.810
The expression "cheerio" which Togame uses is a foreign word meaning "goodbye".
19:33.810 --> 19:44.330
The story of when she notices her mistake and loses herself with embarrassment is yet some months away.
19:55.030 --> 19:55.970
Hakuhei!
19:55.970 --> 19:57.410
I'll be taking that sword!
19:58.140 --> 20:03.500
You too, have become lost to this sword's magic?
20:03.500 --> 20:04.920
Here I come!
20:08.210 --> 20:10.980
I'll have you fall for me.
20:12.850 --> 20:15.670
S-So cool...
20:23.560 --> 20:26.190
Wait up, you're walking too fast!
20:26.190 --> 20:27.820
Ah, sorry.
20:27.820 --> 20:30.460
I'm not used to walking with anyone.
20:31.150 --> 20:33.800
You're heavy because you're wearing too much.
20:33.800 --> 20:35.020
Fool!
20:35.020 --> 20:37.120
Don't frivolously call a lady heavy!
20:37.730 --> 20:40.480
Well you're definitely light,
20:40.480 --> 20:42.860
but isn't it hard to move with all that?
20:42.860 --> 20:44.590
Once again, you're an idiot.
20:44.590 --> 20:46.680
Women use different muscles to stay fashionable.
20:46.680 --> 20:48.780
Women have such body parts?
20:48.780 --> 20:51.500
Parts that a backwater barbarian like you wouldn't understand.
20:51.850 --> 20:54.540
Well, I don't care about fashion or whatever.
20:54.540 --> 20:57.360
Clothes just get in the way when you wear them.
20:58.080 --> 21:02.640
I've already given up on trying to get you to clothe your upper body.
21:02.640 --> 21:05.080
Just don't take off anything from your lower half, please.
21:05.080 --> 21:06.850
I don't want to travel with a pervert.
21:07.240 --> 21:08.550
Don't worry.
21:08.550 --> 21:12.290
I've taken a liking to this hakama that you bought me.
21:08.550 --> 21:12.170
Note: A hakama is the pants-like thing he's wearing
21:12.290 --> 21:14.680
It's easy to move and easy to fight in.
21:14.680 --> 21:17.700
Ease of movement and ease of fighting are different?
21:17.700 --> 21:19.320
Yeah they're different.
21:20.000 --> 21:23.060
So is there still a ways to go till we get to Gekoku Castle?
21:23.060 --> 21:26.660
It'll be night soon, and that'd be inconvenient for you, right?
21:26.660 --> 21:27.710
Indeed.
21:27.710 --> 21:31.390
Letting a girl sleep outdoors in the desert would be a total waste of her fashion.
21:31.390 --> 21:33.210
Is that the problem here?
21:33.510 --> 21:35.630
Who the hell left this here?!
21:39.380 --> 21:42.510
This is Maniwani's... Maniwa Shirasagi!
21:49.340 --> 21:50.630
The castle?
21:50.630 --> 21:51.280
How... { didn't we see it till now?}
21:51.760 --> 21:54.530
It's a camouflage caused by a mirage in the air.
21:54.530 --> 21:56.690
You can't see it till you get this close.
21:57.480 --> 22:00.030
That's the Inaba desert's Gekoku castle.
22:00.030 --> 22:02.890
Strong offense, easy to defend.
22:02.890 --> 22:07.710
Most people don't know about it, but it's famous among certain groups.
22:08.340 --> 22:10.620
That was quite a shock!
22:10.620 --> 22:11.490
Sorry.
22:11.490 --> 22:14.030
I thought I'd try surprising you.
22:16.340 --> 22:19.170
So why's his body discarded like this outside the castle?
22:19.760 --> 22:24.920
Apparently the 12 Maniwa corps leaders are competing.
22:24.920 --> 22:29.600
It's a race to collect Shikizaki Kiki's 12 perfected Deviant Blades.
22:29.980 --> 22:39.280
Presumably, Shirasagi learned that Uneri Ginkaku of Gekoku castle holds Zantou Namakura, and came to take it.
22:39.680 --> 22:41.860
And then got cut down instead...
22:42.410 --> 22:45.450
To think a Maniwa corps head was brought down like this...
22:45.450 --> 22:48.140
I've beaten a Maniwani head too, you know.
22:48.140 --> 22:51.450
In your case, you were merely blessed with luck.
22:52.340 --> 22:54.330
Let's think of it positively...
22:54.720 --> 22:59.430
The Maniwani who got here first failed to get Zantou.
22:59.430 --> 23:02.800
Depending on your perspective, that could be a good thing.
23:02.800 --> 23:08.980
If Shirasagi had succeeded in obtaining the Deviant Blade, we'd have come here for nothing.
23:08.980 --> 23:11.270
I see, that is positive.
23:11.830 --> 23:17.570
But because of this guy's failed attempt, the castle lord will be on his guard now.
23:17.570 --> 23:19.960
Worst case, he might even have run away.
23:20.650 --> 23:21.970
He won't have.
23:21.970 --> 23:28.790
Uneri Ginkaku is the man who didn't leave this land even after the entirety of Inaba turned to desert.
23:29.280 --> 23:32.750
Furthermore, by the looks of Shirasagi here,
23:32.750 --> 23:36.390
Uneri has complete faith in his own skills.
23:36.390 --> 23:39.630
Fleeing before an approaching foe wouldn't even cross his mind.
23:40.090 --> 23:43.060
It seems he's a stronger opponent than we thought, huh.
23:45.530 --> 23:48.450
We could also come back later, you know?
23:48.450 --> 23:50.110
Not a chance.
23:50.110 --> 23:56.400
We can't afford to waste any time now that the Maniwa corps are moving so fast.
23:57.090 --> 24:01.450
Quite the opposite Shichika, I'm glad this happened.
24:02.410 --> 24:09.530
I've got something interesting to write in my report now, thanks to Maniwa Shirasagi giving us this opportunity.
24:09.990 --> 24:16.290
To be able to report that we took the Deviant Blade from the swordsman who cut down Maniwa Shirasagi the traitor...
24:16.290 --> 24:18.590
How satisfying!
24:18.590 --> 24:24.830
And most importantly, now I don't have to write down any tedious backwards talking.
24:24.830 --> 24:26.470
S-Sure...
24:26.470 --> 24:35.890
And anyway, are you suggesting I write about us turning tail even though we're so well prepared?
24:36.150 --> 24:37.740
I see, that certainly is positive.
24:38.210 --> 24:39.150
Yep.
24:40.150 --> 24:43.120
This is why I fell for you.
24:49.460 --> 24:51.950
Isn't it dangerous for you to go first?
24:52.490 --> 24:54.840
I'm the one fighting, right?
24:54.840 --> 24:59.380
Or do you plan to take on Uneri Ginkaku yourself first?
24:59.380 --> 25:00.660
Idiot.
25:00.660 --> 25:03.990
You know very well how good I am at fighting.
25:03.990 --> 25:07.970
I'd be easier for him to defeat me than to rip a paper screen.
25:07.970 --> 25:10.260
Even if you say that so proudly...
25:10.970 --> 25:17.020
Look, apparently you're misunderstanding this part of the process, so I'll make it clear.
25:17.020 --> 25:20.020
We didn't come here as thieves.
25:21.270 --> 25:27.130
We can't just run in, swords swinging, and pillage it.
25:27.130 --> 25:30.160
We have to follow proper procedures and negotiate.
25:30.160 --> 25:33.950
Um... "procedures", like at a government office?
25:33.950 --> 25:36.560
Let's say that's how it is for now.
25:36.560 --> 25:40.300
If that's all it takes, you don't really need me do you?
25:40.800 --> 25:48.390
It's almost a certainty that anyone who would consume the poison of Shikizaki's swords is insane.
25:48.390 --> 25:51.930
So basically, you're not expecting that negotiation can settle this to begin with.
25:51.930 --> 25:53.070
But even so...
25:53.070 --> 25:54.650
I need to consider the chance that it can.
25:54.970 --> 25:58.440
Take for example the case where the sword owner happens to be a good person.
25:58.440 --> 26:00.820
What would you do then?
26:00.820 --> 26:05.990
As long as we have the backing of the Shogunate, we won't be punished even if we do kill people.
26:05.990 --> 26:10.620
But that doesn't make it okay to senselessly cut people up.
26:11.640 --> 26:13.080
Now that's out the way, let's go.
26:16.350 --> 26:19.430
This is a suspiciously obvious screen...
26:19.430 --> 26:21.680
which means there's something here, right?
26:23.530 --> 26:26.310
Wait, don't just open it!
26:26.310 --> 26:27.460
Hey!
26:39.080 --> 26:40.930
You must be Uneri Ginkaku.
26:41.860 --> 26:48.810
I'm the army general director in support of critical tasks under direct control of Yanari Shogun of the Owari Shogunate,
26:48.810 --> 26:50.070
Togame the Strategian.
26:51.700 --> 26:55.330
That sword appears to be Zantou Namakura.
26:55.330 --> 26:56.570
Am I correct?
26:57.050 --> 26:59.110
What a racket.
26:59.110 --> 27:02.030
It's true I am Uneri Ginkaku.
27:02.030 --> 27:04.290
You don't have to shout like that.
27:04.760 --> 27:06.820
Pardon me.
27:06.820 --> 27:07.680
So?
27:08.170 --> 27:11.870
Why is a big shot from the Shogunate here in the desert?
27:11.870 --> 27:15.290
Would you consider handing over Zantou?
27:16.850 --> 27:18.720
Of course, I'm prepared to pay.
27:18.720 --> 27:22.010
I'll provide anything the shogunate can offer.
27:23.500 --> 27:31.650
You know, just a bit earlier some fake-looking ninja came along and said something similar.
27:31.650 --> 27:33.240
What's with that?
27:33.240 --> 27:34.960
A friend of yours?
27:35.720 --> 27:37.590
He's no friend of ours.
27:37.590 --> 27:40.560
We're different from that ninja scum.
27:40.560 --> 27:43.470
We want to make a fair trade.
27:43.470 --> 27:50.210
Of course, even given that it's a single sword, I'm well aware of its value.
27:51.110 --> 27:55.470
I understand that it's not something you can just replace.
27:55.470 --> 28:02.440
However, I'd like you to consider this offer for the sake of the Shogunate — no, for the whole world.
28:02.440 --> 28:07.590
There isn't a single sane person who talks about a unified country these days.
28:11.780 --> 28:12.690
Indeed.
28:12.690 --> 28:18.370
I'm sure you don't wish to continue living aimlessly in the desert like this.
28:18.370 --> 28:22.440
If you have any ambitions, I can assist you.
28:22.440 --> 28:24.300
Both in public and in the shadows.
28:25.100 --> 28:28.430
Are you saying you'd support a ronin like myself?
28:28.430 --> 28:34.090
I'm grateful for the offer, but I've heard there's a bounty on my head.
28:34.090 --> 28:37.200
Of course, I can release you from that burden.
28:37.200 --> 28:39.450
You can have anything you desire.
28:40.670 --> 28:42.730
Hey, Uneri!
28:42.730 --> 28:46.470
I couldn't quite hear you properly this time.
28:46.470 --> 28:48.690
Could you come a bit closer?
28:50.780 --> 28:56.780
Besides, isn't it rude to speak to a swordsman from across a door?
28:58.710 --> 29:01.620
I don't know exactly how important you are,
29:02.320 --> 29:06.890
but that isn't the right attitude for someone asking a favor.
29:07.910 --> 29:09.970
You're quite right.
29:09.970 --> 29:10.800
Excuse me.
29:19.240 --> 29:20.900
Kyotouryuu: Lily!
29:28.790 --> 29:30.210
What are you doing?!
29:30.210 --> 29:31.270
Calm down.
29:31.270 --> 29:34.430
You think I can calm down after suddenly being kicked, you idiot?!
29:34.430 --> 29:36.680
A mysterious force suddenly pulling me backwards...
29:36.680 --> 29:39.380
I thought aliens were abducting me!
29:39.380 --> 29:41.450
You certainly have quite the imagination...
29:48.250 --> 29:49.220
So that was Iainuki...
29:48.250 --> 29:49.220
Note: Kneeling sword draw
29:50.740 --> 29:55.000
If I hadn't been wearing as much clothing, I'd be...
29:55.000 --> 29:59.730
I'm pretty sure it'd be the same either ways.
30:00.470 --> 30:02.280
I'm shocked.
30:02.280 --> 30:07.520
This is the first time my Zerosen has been evaded since I inherited Zantou.
30:08.130 --> 30:10.810
I'm the one who's shocked.
30:10.810 --> 30:17.010
I'd heard Iainuki was a supreme sword technique, but to think it's that fast...
30:17.010 --> 30:22.660
So with my shock and your shock, we're even.
30:23.560 --> 30:24.480
Uneri!
30:24.480 --> 30:27.120
Do you understand what you've just done?
30:27.780 --> 30:32.920
The same goes for you too, bringing along such a skilled big brother.
30:32.920 --> 30:36.670
You intended to do things by force from the start, right?
30:36.670 --> 30:38.430
Big brother?!
30:38.430 --> 30:41.530
Do I look like this guy's little sister??
30:41.530 --> 30:43.610
What part of me looks like a "little sister"?!
30:43.610 --> 30:54.030
My ancestors refused to give up this sword to their own masters, let alone the Shogunate.
30:54.030 --> 31:00.160
If I simply said "here you go" and gave it up to you, I'd be the laughing stock of my dead fathers.
31:00.730 --> 31:02.860
Are you afraid of losing that sword?
31:04.350 --> 31:10.030
You can't reach that level of speed with that Zerosen move of yours without it, right?
31:10.030 --> 31:12.040
So are you afraid of losing it?
31:12.040 --> 31:13.470
And what if I am?
31:13.470 --> 31:15.250
That's fine.
31:15.250 --> 31:19.380
I was just thinking to myself that that must be the limit for sword users.
31:25.620 --> 31:28.290
Aren't you a swordsman yourself?
31:28.290 --> 31:30.860
I am most definitely a swordsman.
31:32.710 --> 31:36.810
In which case, no further words are needed, as swordsmen.
31:36.810 --> 31:41.290
If you want this sword, stop talking and come get it.
31:41.290 --> 31:45.280
And I'll stop talking and fight back.
31:47.060 --> 31:47.910
Stubbornness?
31:48.740 --> 31:49.670
It's pride.
31:51.320 --> 31:55.480
You may be confident after saving that woman,
31:55.480 --> 31:58.090
but that wasn't my full strength just now.
31:59.450 --> 32:03.690
Zerosen at full speed is faster than light.
32:04.760 --> 32:05.600
Want to do this?
32:06.300 --> 32:07.620
Togame.
32:07.620 --> 32:10.090
I want to confirm something.
32:10.090 --> 32:11.270
Is that okay?
32:11.580 --> 32:12.430
Hey...
32:12.440 --> 32:14.530
Just a bit of strategizing.
32:14.530 --> 32:17.810
We'll be back soon, so take a nap or something.
32:19.270 --> 32:23.900
When I'm back, I'll have you show me your full speed Zerosen or whatever.
32:26.170 --> 32:29.020
Close the screen on your way out.
32:30.580 --> 32:32.410
Oh yeah...
32:33.170 --> 32:37.460
You didn't tell me your name yet, big brother.
32:43.310 --> 32:45.660
I'm the 7th Kyotouryuu head...
32:45.660 --> 32:47.180
Yashuri Shichika.
32:50.780 --> 32:51.980
My tongue slipped...
33:00.860 --> 33:03.530
Don't look so upset.
33:03.530 --> 33:05.450
If I hadn't done that you'd be in two pieces!
33:05.780 --> 33:08.040
I don't look upset, 'kay!
33:08.040 --> 33:08.700
"kay"?
33:08.700 --> 33:10.490
Uh... I mean...
33:10.490 --> 33:13.330
I don't look upset!
33:13.330 --> 33:16.740
You're ridiculously childish sometimes...
33:16.740 --> 33:19.010
How old are you, anyway?
33:19.000 --> 33:20.790
You are older than me, right?
33:20.790 --> 33:23.450
That's irrelevant.
33:23.450 --> 33:26.970
More importantly Shichika, what did you want to confirm?
33:26.970 --> 33:31.230
I can't see a good reason for you to have stopped the fight at that point.
33:32.380 --> 33:35.640
I wanted to see if he'd let us.
33:36.440 --> 33:37.850
If he'd let us?
33:38.250 --> 33:43.420
Basically, whether he'd chase us or not as we left.
33:44.250 --> 33:46.480
But he let us go.
33:46.480 --> 33:48.280
Well, that's true...
33:48.800 --> 33:54.290
The moment you crossed the boundary into that room, he attacked you.
33:54.790 --> 34:01.540
Looking at it the other way, he won't attack us as long as we don't enter that room.
34:02.230 --> 34:06.590
That secluded room is optimal for him to ambush his foes.
34:06.950 --> 34:08.240
I see.
34:08.240 --> 34:12.510
That's why Maniwa Shirasagi had no choice but to face him up front.
34:12.930 --> 34:16.240
That room is Uneri Ginkaku's absolute territory.
34:16.240 --> 34:20.390
Then we should find a way to drag him out of that room.
34:21.180 --> 34:23.330
Do you have a plan?
34:24.220 --> 34:26.810
First, you'll enter the room.
34:26.810 --> 34:29.240
Okay, I'll enter...
34:29.240 --> 34:32.450
Then, falling prey to Zerosen, you get cut in two.
34:32.450 --> 34:33.770
I see.
34:33.770 --> 34:36.810
Since he can't just abandon your corpse,
34:38.340 --> 34:42.320
he'll have to leave the castle to dispose of you, like with Maniwa Shirasagi.
34:42.320 --> 34:43.590
And then?
34:43.590 --> 34:45.420
Then I get him.
34:45.420 --> 34:46.310
Cheerio!
34:46.790 --> 34:49.850
I have to get cut in two for that!
34:50.680 --> 34:53.730
That's why I was thinking it might not work.
34:53.730 --> 34:55.160
Of course not!
34:55.160 --> 35:01.170
Well, even if we give up on luring him out, I still have a plan, Togame.
35:01.170 --> 35:04.940
Do I get split into two in this plan?
35:06.770 --> 35:11.400
If you have to face your opponent directly, just do it.
35:11.790 --> 35:12.960
Shichika,
35:12.960 --> 35:15.340
if that's the conclusion you came to, I'm going to be angry.
35:15.820 --> 35:18.280
No, you've been angry the whole time.
35:18.280 --> 35:18.880
Don't mock me!
35:19.240 --> 35:20.330
You know,
35:20.330 --> 35:24.920
I think just winning today isn't good enough to win tomorrow's battles.
35:27.420 --> 35:31.890
We can't just win by luck like with Koumori.
35:33.640 --> 35:36.680
That's unexpectedly serious, coming from you.
35:36.680 --> 35:41.950
I have to protect the swords, as well as you, right?
35:43.760 --> 35:50.500
I-If you understand that then stop coming up with plans that involve splitting me in half!
35:50.760 --> 35:53.820
And so, I'll ask that you stand behind me.
35:55.380 --> 35:57.120
As insurance, just in case.
35:57.630 --> 36:03.810
I'm sure you're already aware, but I have no skills by which to cover your back.
36:03.810 --> 36:05.390
That's not what I mean.
36:05.390 --> 36:06.670
Shichika...
36:07.050 --> 36:08.550
How can I put it...
36:08.550 --> 36:13.940
I can't express it very well, but I want you to do this.
36:16.590 --> 36:21.280
Basically, people with something to protect are strong.
36:25.290 --> 36:27.450
He said Kyotouryuu...
36:28.030 --> 36:30.740
A martial art based on swordsmanship?
36:31.470 --> 36:34.750
A swordsman gains nothing by discarding his sword.
36:34.750 --> 36:37.840
What a creepy style.
36:38.230 --> 36:39.750
Well whatever.
36:39.750 --> 36:41.950
There's no use thinking about it.
36:42.750 --> 36:46.060
I need only protect this castle and this sword.
36:46.530 --> 36:47.840
That's all.
36:53.770 --> 37:00.020
Everyone ran from the desert, abandoning their homeland.
37:00.860 --> 37:04.340
Perhaps, if I wasn't the last one,
37:04.340 --> 37:06.940
I'd have been able to leave Inaba too.
37:07.930 --> 37:12.210
No, leaving was never an option.
37:12.770 --> 37:15.140
I am not allowed to be indecisive.
37:15.610 --> 37:19.380
Is this my anchor to this land, to this sword?
37:20.360 --> 37:23.530
It truly is an obsession.
37:24.130 --> 37:27.390
A swordsman needs something to protect.
37:27.390 --> 37:31.140
Without that, he cannot fight.
37:39.340 --> 37:39.900
Yo.
37:41.760 --> 37:42.470
Sorry for the wait.
37:42.790 --> 37:43.810
Indeed.
37:43.810 --> 37:45.080
So?
37:45.080 --> 37:49.310
Did you come up with a counter to my Zerosen?
37:50.830 --> 37:52.080
In a way.
37:52.660 --> 37:57.250
What, Kyotouryuu even has a counter for Iainuki?
37:58.830 --> 38:03.340
Well, if the opponent is someone at your level, it'll probably work.
38:04.260 --> 38:09.080
For this technique, the faster the opponent's sword moves, the more effective it becomes.
38:12.070 --> 38:15.590
Kyotouryuu, seventh stance: Iris.
38:15.590 --> 38:18.670
What's with that ridiculously obvious pose?
38:18.670 --> 38:21.930
I thought he had a counter, but that's it?
38:22.240 --> 38:24.400
It appears I'm not being taken seriously.
38:24.400 --> 38:26.250
Kyotouryuu...
38:26.250 --> 38:28.310
clearly not a worthy opponent.
38:29.460 --> 38:32.160
Idiot, he's just taunting you!
38:33.920 --> 38:35.560
Well whatever.
38:35.560 --> 38:38.150
Alright then, on your marks...
38:38.710 --> 38:39.530
Get set...
38:39.520 --> 38:40.250
Go!
38:40.960 --> 38:42.160
The distance is three steps!
38:42.650 --> 38:43.370
One!
38:44.450 --> 38:45.490
Two!
38:46.470 --> 38:46.950
Three!
38:47.230 --> 38:47.940
Zerosen!
38:49.950 --> 38:51.620
Kyotouryuu: Rose!
38:53.850 --> 38:55.230
You got him?
38:55.230 --> 38:56.670
No, it was too weak!
38:58.960 --> 39:01.780
I'll admit that was a good feint with your footwork.
39:01.780 --> 39:04.780
I tried to cut at a phantom illusion.
39:04.780 --> 39:07.810
But why did you hold back?
39:08.210 --> 39:09.410
What does he mean?
39:09.410 --> 39:13.730
Rose would have finished him if I hadn't held back.
39:14.780 --> 39:17.040
His sword pressure caught me off guard.
39:17.040 --> 39:18.300
Crap!
39:18.300 --> 39:21.520
To have his lack of real battle experience show now of all times...
39:22.000 --> 39:23.460
Shichika!
39:22.190 --> 39:23.460
Don't move!
39:24.090 --> 39:25.740
Stay behind me!
39:25.740 --> 39:27.000
Idiot!
39:27.000 --> 39:29.910
You think I can just sit by after your plan failed?
39:30.660 --> 39:32.800
That surprised me...
39:32.800 --> 39:36.370
Now that you've done it twice, I'm sure it isn't dumb luck.
39:36.370 --> 39:39.840
I'm completely awake now, Kyotouryuu.
39:39.840 --> 39:43.520
This is the best I've felt since I was born screaming into this world.
39:43.520 --> 39:46.680
You're welcome, and good morning.
39:46.680 --> 39:50.020
And good night to you.
39:51.730 --> 39:56.270
I'm aware that what you did was extraordinary.
39:56.270 --> 40:00.030
But don't think the same thing will work again.
40:00.030 --> 40:02.950
Hurting him was a bad move...
40:03.140 --> 40:05.280
Zerosen formation: Five lives!
40:09.870 --> 40:11.090
Five attacks...
40:11.600 --> 40:17.740
With this, it won't matter whether you speed up or slow down.
40:17.740 --> 40:21.020
I'll easily overcome any small errors like that.
40:22.270 --> 40:24.590
You were hiding that the whole time?
40:24.930 --> 40:26.290
This?
40:26.290 --> 40:28.760
No, no, not at all.
40:32.100 --> 40:32.960
Wha—
40:32.960 --> 40:34.500
What happened?
40:34.500 --> 40:36.860
He cut himself...
40:36.860 --> 40:37.730
What for?
40:39.920 --> 40:43.710
This is the technique Uneri Kinkaku used to kill 10,000 soldiers.
40:43.710 --> 40:46.660
Observe, Kyotouryuu.
40:46.660 --> 40:52.850
When my blood flows into the sheath and soaks the sword,
40:52.850 --> 40:55.430
its draw speed increases. {hax! 飛天御剣流!}
40:55.980 --> 41:03.800
The friction between the blade and sheath disappears, and Zerosen reaches the speed of light.
41:03.800 --> 41:09.130
This is Zantou Namakura's limited hidden art, Zantou Gari!
41:09.130 --> 41:12.470
The more it cuts, the faster it becomes.
41:13.570 --> 41:15.090
I've got an idea!
41:15.090 --> 41:18.190
Shichika, let's make a tactical retreat.
41:18.190 --> 41:21.030
If we just leave him alone he'll bleed to death.
41:21.030 --> 41:21.780
I refuse.
41:21.780 --> 41:22.900
It's a chance to win!
41:22.900 --> 41:24.520
That wouldn't be winning.
41:24.990 --> 41:26.950
I told you, I won't win by chance.
41:29.330 --> 41:30.990
That's pretty cool of you.
41:32.310 --> 41:37.360
Looking at you, it makes me ashamed that I was hiding moves.
41:37.360 --> 41:39.180
No more holding back.
41:39.180 --> 41:41.420
I'll show you the full might of Kyotouryuu.
41:42.560 --> 41:43.210
Let's go.
41:45.120 --> 41:49.550
Ah, actually there's one thing I want to ask you about.
41:49.550 --> 41:55.060
Lil lady, you said that if I handed this Zantou over,
41:55.060 --> 41:58.250
you'd grant any wish of mine, right?
41:58.250 --> 41:59.810
Y-Yeah...
42:00.320 --> 42:08.070
Then, in exchange for this Zantou, can you restore Inaba to how it was?
42:08.070 --> 42:09.760
I can't do that.
42:09.760 --> 42:14.550
The Shogunate has already decided the Tottori domain no longer exists.
42:14.550 --> 42:20.240
And even if they hadn't, there's no way to reverse the desertification.
42:20.240 --> 42:21.620
I see.
42:21.620 --> 42:28.590
Well, I guess that means I wasn't wrong in attacking you.
42:28.590 --> 42:29.900
That's a relief.
42:30.360 --> 42:33.010
Why are you doing this?
42:33.870 --> 42:34.940
I wonder.
42:35.500 --> 42:37.650
Is it for that "pride" stuff you were talking about?
42:38.120 --> 42:40.560
I wonder at that too.
42:41.470 --> 42:44.070
I just said that on the spot.
42:44.070 --> 42:45.020
Don't take it seriously.
42:46.880 --> 42:50.930
I just wanted to protect something.
42:51.970 --> 42:59.340
But even though I wanted to protect something, this was the only thing left to me to protect.
43:01.120 --> 43:01.890
I see...
43:04.000 --> 43:05.310
Let's go then.
43:05.610 --> 43:06.890
Yeah,
43:06.890 --> 43:10.190
my Zerosen's ready to go anytime.
43:10.750 --> 43:13.720
Observe Zerosen surpassing the speed of light.
43:14.400 --> 43:21.480
And if you really have a hidden trick up your sleeve, show me that too.
43:21.860 --> 43:23.700
Sure, I'll show you it.
43:24.360 --> 43:29.320
However, by that point you'll have been torn into pieces.
43:30.670 --> 43:31.670
On your marks...
43:32.130 --> 43:33.160
Get set...
43:33.160 --> 43:33.490
Go!
43:33.490 --> 43:35.780
Zerosen formation: Ten lives!
43:40.380 --> 43:41.210
Gyafun!
43:42.270 --> 43:44.390
"Everything is within Zerosen's range"?
43:44.840 --> 43:46.310
Wrong!
43:46.310 --> 43:48.560
You can't draw straight above your head!
43:49.880 --> 43:51.470
K-Kyotouryuu!
43:53.760 --> 43:57.150
Kyotouryuu seventh hidden art: Rakka Rouzeki!
43:53.760 --> 43:57.150
Note: Scattered Blossoms
44:12.270 --> 44:15.160
So where are we going next?
44:17.000 --> 44:17.990
Hey.
44:20.210 --> 44:21.750
Hey, Togame!
44:21.750 --> 44:23.380
Don't ignore me!
44:23.380 --> 44:25.730
You've been like that since yesterday!
44:25.730 --> 44:29.060
Were you injured somewhere when I kicked you?
44:29.060 --> 44:30.480
You're so noisy!
44:30.480 --> 44:33.980
Stop trying to speak so normally to someone when they're mad at you!
44:33.980 --> 44:39.150
Geez, I'd never have thought you'd use me as a wall to kick off of!
44:39.510 --> 44:41.580
Ah, you're angry at that.
44:41.580 --> 44:42.560
I'm not angry!
44:43.120 --> 44:49.200
I was hoping the initial Iris chaining into Rose would do the job...
44:49.200 --> 44:52.550
I really did just mean to use you as insurance.
44:52.550 --> 44:54.740
Why couldn't you have told me that from the start,
44:55.270 --> 45:00.050
instead of saying grandiose things like "people with something to protect are strong" or whatever.
45:00.390 --> 45:02.970
Sorry, that was just random babbling.
45:02.970 --> 45:04.190
Don't babble!
45:05.540 --> 45:08.010
People who have something to protect are strong.
45:08.490 --> 45:11.070
The fact that that is not a means of becoming strong,
45:11.590 --> 45:15.670
and that there are people who need something to protect in order to keep living...
45:16.600 --> 45:20.400
Shichika learned that from this battle.
45:21.510 --> 45:27.410
The story of Katanagatari on this month and this evening ends here.
45:27.410 --> 45:32.550
That reminds me, you haven't actually seen Zantou's blade yet have you?
45:33.720 --> 45:34.810
Here.
45:34.810 --> 45:35.900
No, it's okay.
45:37.090 --> 45:41.870
In the end, I couldn't follow Ginkaku's Zerosen with my eyes,
45:42.710 --> 45:46.010
so I don't have the right to.
45:47.610 --> 45:48.420
I see.
45:48.880 --> 45:52.380
Hey, what'll happen to Inaba after this?
45:52.380 --> 45:53.130
And Gekoku Castle?
45:53.880 --> 45:55.630
Nothing.
45:56.090 --> 46:00.070
At this point it's already outside the Shogunate's jurisdiction,
46:00.070 --> 46:02.460
so it'll just rot away and perish.
46:02.460 --> 46:06.850
Even so, it'll last for ages to come, far longer than ourselves.
46:06.850 --> 46:14.270
It might even continue on for a thousand more years, just not as a castle.
46:14.920 --> 46:16.140
I see.
46:16.140 --> 46:20.890
Neither swordsmen or their swords can win against nature, I guess.
46:20.890 --> 46:23.320
That's how it is, in the end.
46:23.320 --> 46:24.970
Seems that way.
46:27.000 --> 46:28.880
But you know, Togame...
46:28.880 --> 46:30.710
Uneri's final line...
46:30.710 --> 46:32.210
it was really cool.
46:33.240 --> 46:37.970
It wasn't only cool, it brought out his character.
46:38.460 --> 46:41.060
Is that what you'd call a catchphrase?
46:41.060 --> 46:42.920
You're a little off.
46:43.520 --> 46:46.010
That was a line to fall by.
46:46.010 --> 46:47.850
A final message,
46:47.850 --> 46:49.770
his last words before death.
46:49.770 --> 46:52.390
You could call it his will.
46:52.390 --> 46:55.540
It's different from a catchphrase in that you only say it once in your whole life.
46:55.540 --> 47:00.320
You're not allowed to say it until you're ready to walk to the path to Hades.
47:03.250 --> 47:04.570
I see.
47:04.570 --> 47:06.190
Does it bother you?
47:06.190 --> 47:11.880
Certainly, one's final words are even more powerful than a catchphrase.
47:11.880 --> 47:15.000
You only say it once in your lifetime, after all.
47:15.530 --> 47:21.680
However understand that you, Shichika, are not allowed this one chance.
47:22.330 --> 47:26.270
You needn't give any thought to your last words.
47:35.180 --> 47:39.510
At last, deep sleep is allowed me. {if this line is long and has to be split, use "At last, I can sleep soundly."}{Norg: maybe use that anyway, what kind of engrish is this line? lol} {that is not engrish you philistine!}
48:02.270 --> 48:09.980
utsurona keshiki kuzureru sajou no gensou
48:02.270 --> 48:09.980
虚ろな景色 崩れる砂上の幻想
48:02.270 --> 48:09.980
In this hollow scenery, the illusions built on sand are collapsing
48:09.980 --> 48:16.960
hitori egaita masshirona sekai
48:09.980 --> 48:16.960
一人描いた 真っ白な世界
48:09.980 --> 48:16.960
In this pure white world I created alone,
48:16.960 --> 48:24.390
subete wo ushinai kooritsuita jikan ni
48:16.960 --> 48:24.390
全てを失い 凍りついた時間に
48:16.960 --> 48:24.390
I'm losing everything to frozen time
48:24.390 --> 48:32.430
owari wo tsugeyou shizuka ni kuuhaku no hate e
48:24.390 --> 48:32.430
終わりを告げよう 静かに空白の果てへ
48:24.390 --> 48:32.430
Let's speak of the end, in the silence of space
48:33.380 --> 48:40.460
itsuka koe wo koroshita kogoeru you ni nemurenu yoru
48:33.380 --> 48:40.460
いつか声を殺した 凍えるように眠れぬ夜
48:33.380 --> 48:40.460
I sometimes lose my voice in the freezing sleepless nights...
48:40.460 --> 48:47.790
kasokushite iku senkou togisumasare surudoku
48:40.460 --> 48:47.790
加速していく閃光 研ぎ澄まされ鋭く
48:40.460 --> 48:47.790
polishing the accelerating light until it is sharp
48:47.790 --> 48:55.090
saigo irodorishi iro wa setsuna ni chiru tsui no bigaku
48:47.790 --> 48:55.090
最期彩りし色は 刹那に散る終の美学
48:47.790 --> 48:55.090
The last color I paint scatters the final beauty
48:55.090 --> 49:02.320
azayaka ni iroasenu hana wo egaite
48:55.090 --> 49:02.320
鮮やかに“色褪せぬ華”を描いて…
48:55.090 --> 49:02.320
I draw a vivid "fading flower"
49:11.830 --> 49:16.820
"However, by that point you'll have been torn into pieces" huh...
49:16.830 --> 49:18.950
Although it wasn't high on my list of suggestions,
49:18.950 --> 49:21.780
if Shichika says he likes it, that's fine.
49:21.780 --> 49:25.420
With this, that plain Shichika will stand out a bit more.
49:25.420 --> 49:29.180
Now then, I'll try out this backwards talking thing.
49:29.970 --> 49:31.230
Strategian the Togame,
49:31.230 --> 49:35.520
Shogunate Owari the of Shogun Yana... critical... the...
49:35.520 --> 49:36.950
Like I can do this!
49:36.950 --> 49:39.860
Next on Katanagatari: Sentou Tsurugi
49:36.950 --> 49:40.590
Sentou
49:36.950 --> 49:40.590
Tsurugi
49:39.860 --> 49:40.890
Cheerio!
