WEBVTT
00:03.060 --> 00:05.570
In the
00:03.060 --> 00:05.570
time
00:03.060 --> 00:05.570
of the
00:03.060 --> 00:05.570
warring
00:03.060 --> 00:05.570
states
00:04.270 --> 00:06.780
A time of corruption
00:07.320 --> 00:12.990
There existed
00:07.320 --> 00:12.990
an
00:07.320 --> 00:12.990
ultimate
00:08.570 --> 00:14.240
Way of
00:08.570 --> 00:14.240
the Sword
00:09.820 --> 00:12.990
that used
00:09.820 --> 00:12.990
no swords
00:22.750 --> 00:24.460
Oushuu
00:24.630 --> 00:25.800
Hida Castle
01:11.320 --> 01:13.180
The rebel,
01:14.070 --> 01:16.840
Hida Takahito.
01:18.490 --> 01:19.610
Kyotouryuu's...
01:18.490 --> 01:19.610
Note: Kyotouryuu = Swordless Style
01:22.930 --> 01:24.240
I see...
01:24.830 --> 01:27.930
So this is how I'll meet my end.
01:48.400 --> 01:50.940
At this point, it is unavoidable.
02:08.290 --> 02:08.600
Miss?
02:10.200 --> 02:11.720
It's in sight now.
02:15.020 --> 02:18.140
What kind of business might you have on an uninhabited island like that?
02:19.150 --> 02:21.690
It's not an uninhabited island.
02:21.690 --> 02:24.960
That's the island where the hero of the rebellion was exiled.
02:26.500 --> 02:41.030
onore o harahara hana ni tatoete chirinuru o
02:26.500 --> 02:41.030
己をはらはら花に例えて 散りぬるを…
02:26.500 --> 02:41.030
Just like the flowers, I'll scatter away...
02:42.600 --> 02:47.790
tsumi aguneta guren no tama o
02:42.600 --> 02:47.790
摘みあぐねた紅蓮の霊を
02:42.600 --> 02:47.790
My crimson heart was furious,
02:48.410 --> 02:53.420
sarau ano hi areshi mune yori
02:48.410 --> 02:53.420
さらう彼の日 荒れし胸より
02:48.410 --> 02:53.420
the day it was plucked dry and snatched away
02:54.250 --> 02:59.780
osoruru mama mikoto wa habataite
02:54.250 --> 02:59.780
恐るるまま命は羽搏いて
02:54.250 --> 02:59.780
Even with my frightened heart,
02:59.780 --> 03:05.410
yagate yagate ten no hate ni
02:59.780 --> 03:05.410
やがて やがて 天の果てに
02:59.780 --> 03:05.410
my life takes flight, to the end of the sky
03:05.410 --> 03:11.260
akaku somare surechigai kira no yume o
03:05.410 --> 03:11.260
朱く染まれ すれ違い綺羅の夢を
03:05.410 --> 03:11.260
The dyed red, glittering dream we encountered by chance,
03:11.260 --> 03:19.790
ataeta mou machiwabite meiya ni samayoi
03:11.260 --> 03:19.790
与えたもう 待ち侘びて冥夜にさまよい
03:11.260 --> 03:19.790
I offer to you, waiting around, lost in the dark night
03:19.790 --> 03:22.960
tomoni moe youka
03:19.790 --> 03:22.960
共に燃えようか
03:19.790 --> 03:22.960
Shall we blaze away together?
03:23.210 --> 03:28.770
omoi ga harahara mau yue ni
03:23.210 --> 03:28.770
想いがはらはら舞う故に
03:23.210 --> 03:28.770
With our fluttering thoughts dancing along,
03:28.770 --> 03:34.600
watashi wa mayoi o kinjite
03:28.770 --> 03:34.600
私は迷いを禁じて
03:28.770 --> 03:34.600
I will no longer have any doubts
03:34.600 --> 03:40.390
mugen no kairou yori umareta
03:34.600 --> 03:40.390
無限の回廊より生まれた
03:34.600 --> 03:40.390
I'm heading towards the sky, to paint...
03:40.390 --> 03:48.160
kizuna o sara naru sora e egaite
03:40.390 --> 03:48.160
絆を更なる空へ描いて
03:40.390 --> 03:48.160
our bonds born from the endless corridor
03:48.160 --> 03:55.350
hana no chiranu uchi ni
03:48.160 --> 03:55.350
花の散らぬうちに
03:48.160 --> 03:55.350
As long as the flowers are still blooming
03:49.610 --> 03:56.080
Katana-
03:49.610 --> 03:56.080
gatari
03:56.080 --> 04:02.000
Zettou
03:56.080 --> 04:02.000
Kanna
04:03.290 --> 04:10.640
The one who came to power after the rebellion, Shogun Yanari, fearing the power of the hero of the rebellion, Yasuri Mutsue,
04:11.120 --> 04:15.620
exiled him along with his family to this uninhabited island.
04:16.950 --> 04:23.980
For 20 years after that, no one else stepped foot on the island.
04:27.780 --> 04:29.490
What a hassle.
04:29.490 --> 04:31.160
What are you doing, Shichika?
04:31.160 --> 04:32.120
Nee-chan...
04:33.220 --> 04:35.290
It looks like the cistern's out of water, so...
04:35.860 --> 04:38.980
Don't come out dressed like that, it's cold.
04:38.980 --> 04:40.140
I'm fine.
04:40.140 --> 04:42.700
It feels good if it's just for a bit.
04:42.700 --> 04:45.670
Also, wasn't it my turn to do the housework today?
04:45.670 --> 04:46.760
Was it?
04:49.720 --> 04:54.200
Didn't I tell you to stop treating me so delicately?
04:54.200 --> 04:56.030
I wasn't trying to.
04:56.030 --> 04:57.190
It's fine.
04:57.190 --> 04:58.790
This is just another part of training.
04:58.790 --> 05:02.230
I don't remember teaching you to be overly considerate.
05:03.360 --> 05:05.730
See, go back inside I said!
05:05.730 --> 05:09.240
There's no meaning to training anymore.
05:10.060 --> 05:11.410
Nee-chan...
05:11.680 --> 05:16.910
What meaning is there in maintaining a combat style that will end with your generation?
05:18.220 --> 05:20.460
I don't think about the meaning or anything.
05:20.460 --> 05:22.100
Hey, Shichika...
05:22.100 --> 05:25.280
It's already been a year since father died.
05:25.280 --> 05:26.550
Can't you let it go already?
05:26.550 --> 05:28.800
You don't need to say it like that...
05:28.800 --> 05:32.890
I mean, just yesterday, I thought up a new ultimate move.
05:33.150 --> 05:36.980
It's a really awesome... move...
05:36.980 --> 05:42.120
To begin with, the one who got banished was father alone.
05:42.120 --> 05:45.190
It'd be impossible for me, but you could make a boat for yourself and—
05:45.190 --> 05:46.900
Don't say stupid stuff!
05:48.830 --> 05:51.610
That wasn't the kind of topic to bring up so early in the morning, was it.
05:54.170 --> 05:57.740
I'll prepare breakfast, so come back quickly.
05:57.740 --> 05:58.610
Yeah.
05:59.190 --> 06:03.340
A new ultimate move, you say...
06:03.340 --> 06:04.870
Show it to me later.
06:10.620 --> 06:12.050
Leave the island, huh...
06:12.950 --> 06:16.020
I was expecting this topic to come up eventually,
06:17.210 --> 06:19.850
but this is the only thing I inherited from father, so...
06:20.700 --> 06:24.070
I want to cherish it while I still can.
06:24.070 --> 06:26.420
I don't have anything else, after all.
06:32.940 --> 06:34.660
What a hassle.
06:35.330 --> 06:38.580
If father was around he'd cut them down with one strike, too...
06:48.440 --> 06:49.270
Hey!
07:00.600 --> 07:02.340
A person from the mainland?
07:04.380 --> 07:05.360
First time seeing one.
07:07.140 --> 07:08.270
A sword?
07:08.790 --> 07:10.310
First time seeing that too.
07:11.320 --> 07:16.560
I don't personally mind if strangers or outsiders come here, but...
07:17.110 --> 07:18.930
Um...
07:18.930 --> 07:22.330
It's absolutely forbidden to carry blades onto this island.
07:23.090 --> 07:24.460
Is that so?
07:24.460 --> 07:25.460
Yeah.
07:25.890 --> 07:27.500
Pardon me, then.
07:27.500 --> 07:29.140
I wasn't aware.
07:29.140 --> 07:30.270
Forgive me.
07:30.270 --> 07:32.550
Well, I wasn't the one who decided it.
07:32.900 --> 07:34.680
How did you come to this island?
07:34.680 --> 07:36.510
By boat, of course.
07:36.750 --> 07:39.720
It's not like I particularly wanted to know,
07:39.720 --> 07:42.970
but I'm supposed to say that in this situation.
07:42.970 --> 07:43.560
Next is...
07:43.870 --> 07:46.060
"What did you come here for?" right?
07:46.320 --> 07:47.210
Yeah!
07:47.210 --> 07:48.230
What did you come here for?
07:49.940 --> 07:54.420
I heard that the 6th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Mutsue lives here.
07:54.420 --> 07:55.570
Do you know him?
07:55.980 --> 07:57.690
If you're talking about dad, he died.
07:58.730 --> 07:59.490
A year ago.
08:03.130 --> 08:04.330
I see...
08:09.010 --> 08:11.210
Right now I'm the family head.
08:11.210 --> 08:15.220
The 7th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
08:16.460 --> 08:17.880
I see.
08:17.880 --> 08:20.870
Excuse my insensitivity.
08:20.870 --> 08:25.520
My information was 20 years old, so I had considered he may have passed away.
08:25.520 --> 08:27.020
I see...
08:27.020 --> 08:28.960
He's got a strong body.
08:29.880 --> 08:31.400
Doesn't look terrible either.
08:31.650 --> 08:34.370
I'd say it gets a passing grade.
08:34.370 --> 08:35.810
What are you talking about?
08:35.810 --> 08:37.790
Ah, just talking to myself.
08:37.790 --> 08:40.530
It seems you had business with dad... sorry about that.
08:40.900 --> 08:43.430
You're right, but a little off.
08:43.430 --> 08:46.120
My business is with the Kyotouryuu head.
08:46.760 --> 08:52.460
Which means the business I had with Mutsue-dono has now changed to business with you.
08:55.220 --> 08:58.540
Shichika, I haven't told you my own name yet.
08:58.540 --> 09:00.110
I'm Togame.
09:00.110 --> 09:01.450
Togame?
09:01.450 --> 09:02.310
Weird name.
09:07.770 --> 09:12.150
In my position as general director for the army of the Shogunate, I serve as a strategist.
09:12.690 --> 09:15.820
I'll first of all be putting Kyotouryuu to the test.
09:18.900 --> 09:24.290
This is an early work of Mibu Kasamaro, one of the 36 Fugaku swordsmiths.
09:24.290 --> 09:25.290
Test?
09:25.290 --> 09:27.150
That's what I said.
09:27.150 --> 09:28.080
Here I come!
09:34.820 --> 09:38.590
Yasuri Shichika and Togame the strategian.
09:38.590 --> 09:42.310
The unfortunate meeting that began their destiny together,
09:42.310 --> 09:50.190
took place in the middle of January, in a time when the word "gyafun" was not yet outdated.
09:52.370 --> 09:53.420
I'm back.
10:00.980 --> 10:03.770
You said you're Togame the strategian, right?
10:03.770 --> 10:09.770
As you're our first visitor to this island, I'm not entirely sure how to welcome you...
10:09.770 --> 10:10.670
No.
10:10.670 --> 10:13.330
Pardon me for arriving here unannounced.
10:13.580 --> 10:17.100
I am Yasuri Mutsue's daughter, Nanami.
10:17.100 --> 10:22.020
I heard you came to visit my father, but what connection do you have with him?
10:22.020 --> 10:24.750
I don't really have any "connection" to him.
10:24.750 --> 10:25.950
You don't?
10:25.950 --> 10:26.980
No.
10:26.980 --> 10:30.570
You can think of me as someone who just got involved, Nanami.
10:31.070 --> 10:33.490
I'll keep your sword in my care.
10:33.490 --> 10:37.630
It's forbidden to bring or use blades on this island.
10:38.520 --> 10:39.990
Because of Kyotouryuu?
10:42.690 --> 10:46.280
It's written as "flow of the empty sword", {TL note: 虚刀流 = empty sword flow}
10:46.280 --> 10:49.140
a hidden style that uses no sword.
10:49.490 --> 10:52.170
The only ones who have openly demonstrated that style,
10:52.170 --> 10:53.840
were the first generation head Yasuri Kazuni...
10:53.840 --> 10:57.070
and the 6th generation head Yasuri Mutsue.
10:57.070 --> 11:03.230
When the whole country was plunged into rebellion, it was used in the midst of the chaotic battlefields, the deadliest of sword styles.
11:07.650 --> 11:10.200
That man is the 7th head.
11:10.200 --> 11:11.360
Togame-san.
11:12.080 --> 11:14.650
You tried to attack my brother?
11:14.980 --> 11:19.090
I really wanted to see Kyotouryuu in action.
11:19.090 --> 11:21.610
I'm not used to that sort of thing though.
11:21.610 --> 11:23.790
I'm a strategian, not a swordsman.
11:23.790 --> 11:26.160
That was still pretty impressive, given that.
11:27.100 --> 11:28.790
I practiced that.
11:28.790 --> 11:31.000
Why don't you keep practicing till you master it?
11:31.430 --> 11:33.050
That was a rather violent method, no?
11:33.050 --> 11:36.970
It's understandable if you see it that way, but I had my reasons.
11:36.970 --> 11:41.730
I'd heard of the name Yasuri Mutsue, but I don't know his face.
11:41.730 --> 11:43.810
It would be big problem if I got the wrong person.
11:43.810 --> 11:48.810
If he demonstrated Kyotouryuu, that would be more convincing than any name could be.
11:48.810 --> 11:52.620
Even if Mutsue were Shichika, it'd be the same?
11:52.620 --> 11:54.730
In that case, why don't you test him again?
11:55.470 --> 11:59.060
Consider yourself lucky to have tripped over that rock.
11:59.060 --> 12:05.160
If your blade had reached Shichika's body, you wouldn't have escaped with just a bump on your forehead.
12:05.500 --> 12:06.500
No.
12:06.500 --> 12:10.210
I'll accept those words as proof of Kyotouryuu.
12:11.090 --> 12:12.470
Is that so?
12:13.220 --> 12:16.100
Let's hear what you have to say then. {お話を伺いましょう}
12:16.100 --> 12:17.280
Alright.
12:17.280 --> 12:18.970
Hey you, wouldn't you like to rule the world?
12:19.300 --> 12:19.880
No.
12:19.880 --> 12:21.260
Exactly.
12:21.260 --> 12:24.620
It's a natural desire for all who live in this world.
12:24.620 --> 12:26.900
There's no shame in having ambition.
12:26.900 --> 12:30.620
Who can deny the motivations of rebels?
12:30.620 --> 12:36.020
If you look into it, you'll find that even the current Shogunate were originally servants who supplanted their masters.
12:36.020 --> 12:37.820
Which means... wait, you said "no"??
12:37.820 --> 12:38.580
Yeah.
12:38.580 --> 12:40.570
I don't really get what you're saying.
12:41.170 --> 12:42.490
Don't get it?
12:42.760 --> 12:43.970
Togame-san.
12:43.970 --> 12:47.680
Being born and raised on this island, we don't really know about the world.
12:47.680 --> 12:51.880
It's better if you assume we don't understand wordy language.
12:51.880 --> 12:53.160
Is that right?
12:53.160 --> 12:56.860
In that case, could I have you leave?
12:56.860 --> 12:58.420
I can't agree to that.
12:58.880 --> 13:00.670
There are two reasons why.
13:00.670 --> 13:03.770
The first is that Kyotouryuu is an art inherited by blood.
13:03.770 --> 13:08.850
Even if dad were still here, he'd have let us stay too.
13:08.850 --> 13:12.190
And the other reason is because I'm bad at thinking.
13:12.190 --> 13:15.440
Really? You're bad at thinking, huh.
13:15.440 --> 13:19.060
Then I'll continue under the promise of confidentiality.
13:19.060 --> 13:21.450
Do you know a swordsmith by the name of Shikizaki Kiki?
13:21.450 --> 13:21.990
No.
13:21.990 --> 13:23.710
Exactly.
13:23.710 --> 13:30.800
Even on this isolated island, any swordsman will at least have heard that name.
13:30.800 --> 13:36.330
For a school like Kyotouryuu which fights without weapons, someone like Shikizaki is a natural enemy.
13:36.940 --> 13:37.920
Wait, you said, "no"??
13:38.220 --> 13:38.820
Yeah.
13:38.820 --> 13:41.010
Though I get the idea that he's a big deal.
13:41.330 --> 13:43.180
Shikizaki Kiki...
13:43.180 --> 13:46.890
If I recall, he was a famous swordsmith from the Sengoku period?
13:46.890 --> 13:49.180
That's all you know about him?
13:49.560 --> 13:54.310
I only heard that he had a close connection to the founder of Kyotouryuu.
13:55.880 --> 13:58.820
Shikizaki didn't belong to any sword school.
13:58.820 --> 14:02.750
He isolated himself from others, the most heretic of the heretical swordsmiths.
14:02.750 --> 14:07.480
However, it's said his swordsmithery dominated the Sengoku period.
14:07.480 --> 14:09.220
Dominated the Sengoku period?
14:09.220 --> 14:11.800
I don't understand the meaning of those words...
14:11.800 --> 14:18.500
Belonging to no country or house, he distributed the swords he made indiscriminately throughout the land.
14:18.500 --> 14:22.130
Within 25 countries, he gave out a thousand swords.
14:22.130 --> 14:23.310
A thousand?
14:23.310 --> 14:23.970
That's a lot!
14:23.970 --> 14:25.140
Not very many.
14:26.680 --> 14:27.970
Not many then...
14:28.270 --> 14:32.400
The more of his swords a country had, the better they did on the battlefield.
14:32.400 --> 14:35.270
If that's not dominating the Sengoku period then what is?
14:35.570 --> 14:37.700
Couldn't you say it's the other way around?
14:37.700 --> 14:44.200
Being large and powerful enough to hold an advantage in combat allowed some countries to amass more of his swords.
14:44.480 --> 14:47.620
It's true that's how it must look from a practical standpoint.
14:47.620 --> 14:51.840
On the other hand, it's also true there's a basis for that myth.
14:51.840 --> 14:55.870
They say 150 years ago, Shogun Kyuu obsessed over those mythical weapons,
14:55.870 --> 15:01.790
and when he achieved unification of the country, he held a majority of the swords, 507 of them.
15:02.270 --> 15:03.510
How childish...
15:03.780 --> 15:11.710
After that, Shogun Kyuu, who put all his trust in Shikizaki's swords, made that corrupt decree to collect up all swords.
15:11.710 --> 15:14.310
The one he said was for making a Buddha statue or something?
15:14.310 --> 15:16.330
That was only the face of it.
15:16.330 --> 15:19.810
I heard the real purpose of it was to bring together all the swordsmen into one place.
15:19.810 --> 15:21.820
No, the true goal was—
15:22.210 --> 15:24.610
"to collect together all of Shikizaki's swords"?
15:24.610 --> 15:26.000
Exactly.
15:26.000 --> 15:28.180
That's quite surprising to hear.
15:28.180 --> 15:32.780
That said, Shogun Kyuu collected over 100,000 swords.
15:32.780 --> 15:34.410
100,000 swords?
15:34.410 --> 15:35.210
That's not very many!
15:35.530 --> 15:36.370
Quite a lot.
15:38.290 --> 15:39.960
Quite a lot then...
15:40.630 --> 15:44.220
So did he collect all of Shikizaki's swords?
15:44.220 --> 15:45.160
No.
15:45.160 --> 15:47.760
He gave up at the very end.
15:48.950 --> 15:53.080
He managed to track down the locations of all one thousand swords...
15:53.080 --> 15:54.850
but only their locations.
15:54.850 --> 15:56.830
Shouldn't he have been able to collect them all then?
15:56.830 --> 15:58.900
He had the authority of the Shogunate after all.
15:59.150 --> 16:01.370
It didn't work out that way.
16:01.370 --> 16:08.610
Among the thousand, the final 12 remaining were incredibly unique. {どうしようもない際物 that right?}
16:08.610 --> 16:15.360
It's currently believed that the first 988 were mere practice for the purpose of creating those 12 swords.
16:15.360 --> 16:17.290
A thousand for the sake of 12?
16:17.670 --> 16:19.960
Pretty crazy story, right?
16:20.340 --> 16:21.130
Kanna.
16:20.340 --> 16:21.130
Plane, the Absolute
16:21.470 --> 16:22.290
Namakura.
16:21.470 --> 16:22.290
Blunt, the Decapitator
16:22.680 --> 16:23.460
Tsurugi.
16:22.680 --> 16:23.460
Blade, the Thousand
16:23.840 --> 16:24.590
Hari.
16:23.840 --> 16:24.590
Needle, the Light
16:24.890 --> 16:25.760
Yoroi.
16:24.890 --> 16:25.760
Armor, the Grudge
16:26.010 --> 16:26.920
Kanazuchi.
16:26.010 --> 16:26.920
Hammer, the Pair
16:27.300 --> 16:28.090
Bita.
16:27.300 --> 16:28.090
Poor, the Evil
16:28.370 --> 16:29.260
Kanzashi.
16:28.370 --> 16:29.260
Sai, the Tiny
16:29.570 --> 16:30.430
Nokogiri.
16:29.570 --> 16:30.430
Saw, the King
16:30.780 --> 16:31.590
Hakari.
16:30.780 --> 16:31.590
Scales, the True
16:31.880 --> 16:32.760
Mekki.
16:31.880 --> 16:32.760
Gild, the Poison
16:33.000 --> 16:34.010
Jyuu.
16:33.000 --> 16:34.010
Gun, the Flame
16:34.010 --> 16:40.620
The evilness of those swords is incomparable to any other famous sword you've heard of.
16:40.620 --> 16:46.610
The records say that the armies sent by Shogun Kyuu to collect them were wiped out by the power of a single sword.
16:47.220 --> 16:49.240
This is the first time I've heard that.
16:49.240 --> 16:53.100
And that is why I've come to this island.
16:53.100 --> 16:55.640
Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
16:55.640 --> 17:02.450
I've come to convey this command to you, to gather the last 12 swords that the legendary swordsmith Shikizaki Kiki made.
17:02.450 --> 17:05.090
So that's what you meant when you asked if I wanted to rule the world.
17:05.280 --> 17:06.000
Indeed.
17:06.590 --> 17:09.800
I didn't actually mean you would rule the world.
17:10.380 --> 17:13.730
The Shogunate right now has been stable for a long time, right?
17:13.730 --> 17:17.970
They had the power to suppress the rebellion with brute force.
17:17.970 --> 17:20.180
Indeed, with brute force...
17:22.180 --> 17:25.190
N-No I mean, that rebellion was a problem.
17:25.190 --> 17:27.530
The Owari Shogunate has been in power for 150 years now.
17:27.530 --> 17:31.560
No one in this generation really understands what the Sengoku period was like anymore.
17:31.560 --> 17:37.690
These days no one really thinks of Shikizaki Kiki's swords as anything more than trinkets, but just think about it...
17:37.690 --> 17:42.610
If the conspirators behind the last rebellion had gotten a hold of those 12 swords,
17:42.610 --> 17:44.680
what would have happened to the current Shogunate?
17:44.680 --> 17:46.630
They fear a revolt...
17:46.630 --> 17:48.420
"You can never be too careful" kind of thing?
17:48.770 --> 17:50.380
So where are those swords currently?
17:50.930 --> 17:56.430
The ones we know of are in Inaba, Izumo, Satsuma, Ezo, and Tosa.
17:56.680 --> 17:58.460
The rest are still under investigation.
17:59.520 --> 18:01.440
You only know half of them...
18:01.440 --> 18:03.920
Say "you've already found half of them" instead!
18:04.420 --> 18:05.150
What is it?
18:05.410 --> 18:10.320
If they're afraid of a revolt, wouldn't it be smarter not to provoke the current owners?
18:10.700 --> 18:13.820
"Do it skillfully" was the order given by the Shogunate.
18:13.820 --> 18:15.490
What does doing it skillfully mean?
18:15.760 --> 18:17.880
We have a strategian for that very purpose!
18:17.880 --> 18:20.410
Someone who can move about in the shadows.
18:20.660 --> 18:21.860
Um...
18:21.860 --> 18:24.140
What exactly is a "strategian"?
18:25.330 --> 18:32.720
Specifically, I'm the army general director in support of critical tasks under direct control of Yanari Shogun of the Owari Shogunate,
18:33.170 --> 18:34.670
the strategian Togame.
18:35.830 --> 18:37.170
Um...
18:37.170 --> 18:41.430
Is that a new post that was created in the last 20 years or something?
18:41.430 --> 18:44.390
No, I just made up that title.
18:44.390 --> 18:45.510
Self-named...
18:45.850 --> 18:49.540
If tactics are created by a tactician, strategies are created by a strategian!
18:49.540 --> 18:53.020
I'm abnormal, so abnormal orders are given to me.
18:54.810 --> 18:57.860
That being the case, can you lend me your strength?
18:58.160 --> 19:03.250
If you're really from the Shogunate, there's no need for you to rely on Kyotouryuu...
19:03.250 --> 19:05.420
I know what you're trying to say.
19:05.420 --> 19:07.880
However, I can't use people who will work for money.
19:08.820 --> 19:11.400
The ninja who were entrusted the task of collecting the swords...
19:11.400 --> 19:12.800
betrayed us.
19:13.690 --> 19:15.040
Even though they're ninja?
19:15.040 --> 19:16.950
Your surprise is understandable.
19:16.950 --> 19:21.620
If they did that, the trust in them that they'd built up over all those years would collapse.
19:21.620 --> 19:25.830
Even so, once they found the swords, they disappeared.
19:25.830 --> 19:28.180
The entire ninja army, along with their whole village.
19:28.180 --> 19:29.610
Unbelievable...
19:29.860 --> 19:35.240
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...}
19:35.240 --> 19:37.290
That's why people who'd work for money are unacceptable.
19:37.820 --> 19:39.070
I see.
19:39.070 --> 19:40.520
Then how about honor?
19:40.520 --> 19:44.110
My father taught me that swordsmen should do what's right.
19:44.110 --> 19:45.280
Honor, huh...
19:45.280 --> 19:47.040
Swordsmen are no good either.
19:47.370 --> 19:53.220
The Shogunate picked one of their strongest, most loyal and honorable swordsmen.
19:53.220 --> 19:55.250
His name was Sabi Hakuhei.
19:55.250 --> 19:59.460
They tasked him with retrieving what they thought was hardest sword to obtain - Hakutou Hari.
19:59.460 --> 20:02.020
However, he obtained it in a shockingly short time.
20:02.020 --> 20:02.770
Wow!
20:02.770 --> 20:04.870
He obtained it, then disappeared.
20:04.870 --> 20:05.480
Hey!
20:05.780 --> 20:07.700
Its poison is too strong.
20:07.700 --> 20:13.650
And he betrayed us precisely because of that honor — he was unable to resist the honor of owning one of Shikizaki's sword.
20:13.650 --> 20:15.770
Ninja and swordsmen...
20:15.770 --> 20:18.940
So the swords are now in the possession of really strong guys...
20:18.940 --> 20:20.630
Your followers must all be running away.
20:20.630 --> 20:21.760
That's right!
20:21.760 --> 20:23.150
What can I do about it?
20:23.150 --> 20:24.140
Like I'd know!
20:24.140 --> 20:26.250
So that's why you sought out Kyotouryuu.
20:26.250 --> 20:29.540
Swordsmen who don't work for money nor wield swords.
20:29.780 --> 20:30.790
Exactly.
20:30.790 --> 20:33.430
Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika!
20:33.430 --> 20:38.250
In order to ensure the prosperity of the Owari Shogunate, will you wield the skills you have forged?
20:38.250 --> 20:40.760
I understand what you came for,
20:40.760 --> 20:45.740
and it sounds urgent for you, but I don't have any interest in swords.
20:45.740 --> 20:46.750
Are you scared?
20:46.750 --> 20:48.310
Of course I am!
20:48.310 --> 20:53.180
But more importantly, it's a hassle, leaving the island and crossing the sea and all.
20:54.610 --> 20:58.200
Do you think I didn't anticipate that answer?
20:58.200 --> 21:01.160
Do you believe that this strategian who has been betrayed so many times in the past,
21:01.160 --> 21:06.160
came to this island without preparing an appropriate reason for you?
21:06.160 --> 21:07.950
You've been betrayed, have you?
21:07.950 --> 21:10.280
Well do you have one? A reason?
21:10.280 --> 21:11.340
Yeah.
21:11.340 --> 21:13.410
People who work for money are no good.
21:13.410 --> 21:15.420
People who work for honor are also no good.
21:15.820 --> 21:18.800
That leaves only one reason.
21:19.280 --> 21:19.840
Love!
21:20.160 --> 21:21.510
L-Love?
21:21.760 --> 21:24.680
People who work for love can be trusted.
21:24.680 --> 21:26.010
Yasuri Shichika...
21:26.010 --> 21:27.430
fall for me!
21:49.060 --> 21:49.910
Shuriken?!
21:49.910 --> 21:51.610
What the hell!
21:51.610 --> 21:53.520
This is the home dad built!
21:52.330 --> 21:52.790
Shichika...
21:56.500 --> 21:58.790
Honestly, so hasty...
21:58.790 --> 22:00.890
No, that was the right thing to do.
22:00.890 --> 22:04.030
For aerial weaponry, you have to make split-second decisions.
22:04.030 --> 22:06.720
Well, he's just moving on instinct...
22:07.090 --> 22:09.790
A ninja... from the Maniwa corps, it seems.
22:10.950 --> 22:11.560
Maniwa?
22:11.850 --> 22:15.420
The ones who turned traitor the instant they learned of the value of Shikizaki's swords.
22:15.420 --> 22:16.810
How many are there?
22:16.810 --> 22:17.980
Probably just one.
22:19.180 --> 22:21.870
Maniwa shinobi hate working in groups.
22:21.870 --> 22:25.650
What I don't know is why they're here...
22:25.650 --> 22:29.240
I wasn't tailed, and I didn't tell anyone my destination.
22:29.240 --> 22:31.510
If the enemy is really here alone,
22:31.510 --> 22:36.070
then Shichika is probably leading them to the beach ahead.
22:36.070 --> 22:37.980
You seem pretty confident.
22:37.980 --> 22:39.980
The enemy is from the Maniwa corps, you know?
22:39.980 --> 22:43.050
Kyotouryuu won't lose to a mere ninja.
22:43.050 --> 22:49.720
That's reassuring, but what's most important right now is why is a Maniwa corps soldier is on the island!
22:50.160 --> 22:51.950
That's true...
22:51.950 --> 22:55.930
Togame-san, are you certain there was no possibility you were followed?
22:55.930 --> 22:57.060
Don't insult me.
22:57.060 --> 23:01.410
It was precisely because the opponent is a ninja that I was more cautious than usual.
23:01.410 --> 23:04.500
That's also why I didn't tell anyone my destination.
23:05.520 --> 23:07.230
I really wonder how...
23:07.230 --> 23:10.570
Did you come to this island alone?
23:10.570 --> 23:11.660
You're seriously asking that?
23:12.120 --> 23:14.370
How did you get here then?
23:14.370 --> 23:16.080
I came by boat, of course!
23:16.480 --> 23:18.130
Did you row the boat yourself?
23:18.470 --> 23:19.950
What a strange question.
23:19.950 --> 23:22.220
My specialty is brain work.
23:22.220 --> 23:24.210
Does it look like I'd have the strength to—
23:24.530 --> 23:26.220
So there was a ferryman?
23:26.840 --> 23:28.260
Yes, but...
23:28.280 --> 23:29.230
Oh no!
23:29.230 --> 23:32.130
That man wields one of Shikizaki's swords!
23:34.980 --> 23:39.430
I hope you're not thinking you've driven me into a corner.
23:39.940 --> 23:41.430
It's the opposite!
23:41.430 --> 23:44.230
I'm the one who led you here!
23:44.230 --> 23:46.220
Wait, wait...
23:46.220 --> 23:49.370
My head is spinning from all the visitors here today.
23:49.370 --> 23:51.240
Could you not all come on the same day like that?
23:52.360 --> 23:55.270
I don't give a damn about your problems.
23:55.270 --> 23:59.910
I'm one of the 12 heads of the Maniwa corps, the great Maniwa Koumori!
24:00.210 --> 24:01.870
Maniwa corps?
24:01.870 --> 24:04.670
Oh yeah, I heard you're a ninja or something.
24:04.670 --> 24:07.290
The fact that you heard that is bad luck for you.
24:07.290 --> 24:10.090
If it weren't for that, I'd have just ignored you.
24:10.090 --> 24:14.170
My objective is that woman who has all that information.
24:14.170 --> 24:15.980
You were eavesdropping?
24:15.980 --> 24:17.260
That's a distasteful hobby.
24:17.260 --> 24:19.970
You should say it's a good hobby!
24:20.560 --> 24:22.520
You tailed Togame here?
24:22.970 --> 24:23.800
Nope.
24:23.800 --> 24:26.100
I didn't do anything so sneaky.
24:26.100 --> 24:27.520
We came here together.
24:27.520 --> 24:30.400
I rowed the boat all the way here.
24:30.400 --> 24:31.910
It was hard work you know.
24:31.910 --> 24:35.740
That woman just sat on her ass the whole time without lifting a finger to help.
24:35.740 --> 24:39.280
Does everyone from the mainland talk as much as this?
24:36.040 --> 24:38.740
She's got quite the nerve, geez...
24:39.280 --> 24:40.640
Don't you think so?
24:40.640 --> 24:41.160
Right...
24:42.110 --> 24:44.080
You're a pretty dull guy.
24:44.080 --> 24:46.120
Well, you are from the boonies I guess...
24:46.120 --> 24:47.330
Can't help that.
24:49.590 --> 24:53.840
It's nothing personal, but I'll have to kill you here.
24:53.840 --> 24:57.260
Come to think of it, this is my first real battle, isn't it?
24:57.260 --> 24:58.970
You scared?
24:58.970 --> 25:00.050
No...
25:00.050 --> 25:02.800
I was just thinking you aren't carrying a sword, as far as I can tell...
25:02.800 --> 25:06.120
Oh right, you're a swordsman who doesn't use a sword?
25:06.120 --> 25:10.380
When it comes to "swordsmanship" you usually assume you're going to be fighting with swords.
25:11.800 --> 25:14.520
That's some ridiculously absurd swordsmanship!
25:14.520 --> 25:18.530
Not really, it's just that I don't know much about how ninja fight.
25:18.530 --> 25:19.850
Don't worry.
25:19.850 --> 25:24.480
While I'm not a swordsman, it's not like I can't use a sword.
25:24.480 --> 25:29.540
As you wish, how about I bring out the sword I'm carrying?
25:35.460 --> 25:36.260
What?
25:43.260 --> 25:45.520
Humans can do something like that?
25:47.020 --> 25:49.130
Listen and look in shock!
25:49.130 --> 25:55.440
This is one of the 12 Deviant Blades that Shikizaki Kiki perfected, Zettou Kanna!
25:55.440 --> 25:56.100
Kanna
25:55.440 --> 25:56.100
Zettou
25:56.290 --> 25:59.390
I'm more shocked at your body than the sword...
26:00.680 --> 26:02.790
They call me Hades Koumori!
26:02.790 --> 26:07.580
Meaning, I have a very generous personality when it comes to serving up presents from hell!
26:07.830 --> 26:09.460
Koumori the maid? {TL note: "Hell" sounds like "maid"}
26:07.830 --> 26:11.460
Note: "Hell" sounds like "maid".
26:09.460 --> 26:11.460
That sounds strangely cute...
26:11.460 --> 26:14.440
Stop spouting that nonsense!
26:14.440 --> 26:17.280
That aside, aren't you feeling anything right now?
26:17.280 --> 26:21.390
This is one of the Shikizaki swords that that woman was talking about earlier, you know.
26:22.530 --> 26:24.140
Nothing at all?
26:24.790 --> 26:28.070
I don't really want to take it when it's all sticky like that.
26:28.070 --> 26:29.370
It's really valuable, right?
26:29.370 --> 26:31.520
Should you really be carrying it around like that?
26:31.520 --> 26:33.290
Quite the opposite.
26:33.290 --> 26:37.860
If I didn't keep it stored inside my body, I'd be worried about the safety of such a valuable treasure.
26:38.310 --> 26:41.140
On top of that, this thing has an interesting power.
26:41.140 --> 26:45.020
That woman called it poison, but this thing is the ultimate medicine!
26:45.020 --> 26:47.290
When you hold it, you feel its desire to cut off people's heads!
26:48.500 --> 26:50.080
Houfuku Zettou! {報復絶刀}
26:48.500 --> 26:50.080
Note: Absolute Retribution Strike
26:50.080 --> 26:50.740
Houfuku
26:50.080 --> 26:50.740
Zettou
26:56.300 --> 27:00.010
Kyotouryuu, first dance: Lily of the Valley.
27:00.010 --> 27:03.010
Then how about this?
27:06.960 --> 27:08.640
Houfuku Zettou!
27:08.810 --> 27:10.100
Kyotouryuu: Chrysanthemum!
27:13.690 --> 27:14.150
Huh?
27:14.990 --> 27:15.690
You little...
27:15.690 --> 27:16.440
You saw through—
27:16.440 --> 27:17.780
You're so noisy!
27:21.320 --> 27:22.990
Let me thank you.
27:22.990 --> 27:26.360
It's been a long time since I've been surprised at anyone.
27:26.360 --> 27:28.500
You use your arms and legs as swords...
27:28.500 --> 27:31.460
You know your stuff, I guess you really are a swordsman.
27:31.650 --> 27:34.990
I'm not nearly as surprising as you though.
27:34.990 --> 27:36.380
Nor...
27:36.380 --> 27:38.310
as surprising as that "Kanna".
27:38.310 --> 27:41.400
Did you notice anything from that attack?
27:41.400 --> 27:44.800
The technique I just used isn't meant to catch swords.
27:44.800 --> 27:48.350
Kyotouryuu: Chrysanthemum is a technique that breaks your opponent's sword in two.
27:49.150 --> 27:51.380
That sword is definitely weird.
27:53.790 --> 27:55.290
What are you talking about?
27:55.290 --> 27:56.510
Of course it's weird!
27:56.510 --> 27:58.980
If would be strange if it didn't seem weird.
27:58.980 --> 28:03.530
This Zettou Kanna was created with toughness as its main focus.
28:03.530 --> 28:08.510
Swords are expendable, so when you use them they'll break or bend and lose their ability to cut.
28:08.510 --> 28:10.530
However, this Kanna is different.
28:10.530 --> 28:12.910
It can't ever be broken or bent.
28:12.910 --> 28:15.600
That's why it always cuts so well.
28:15.600 --> 28:16.570
Wow...
28:16.570 --> 28:21.410
Even though it's a straight sword, no matter what you do it doesn't chip.
28:21.410 --> 28:24.650
It's a Japanese sword that wouldn't break even if elephants trampled it.
28:24.650 --> 28:26.900
It'd sell for a really high price too!
28:27.890 --> 28:29.520
I did some research and found out...
28:29.520 --> 28:37.180
Even though that Shikizaki geezer was a swordsmith, he also dabbled in the occult and alchemy.
28:37.180 --> 28:40.090
Rather suspicious methods, don't you think?
28:40.090 --> 28:44.200
A guy who pulls swords out of his mouth like you is 12 times more suspicious.
28:44.200 --> 28:47.510
There was a reason for that little story.
28:47.510 --> 28:51.650
You must now understand that Kyotouryuu cannot match up to Shikizaki's swords.
28:51.650 --> 28:54.580
Your sword-breaking technique couldn't break it after all!
28:54.830 --> 28:58.840
I see that Kyotouryuu aims to destroy the opponent's weapons.
28:58.840 --> 29:00.680
Really, that's outstanding!
29:00.680 --> 29:03.760
I would have loved to see you do it though!
29:05.610 --> 29:09.140
Kyotouryuu, second dance: Daffodil.
29:09.990 --> 29:13.430
This time I will definitely shatter that Zettou Kanna.
29:13.590 --> 29:15.170
Idiot!
29:19.780 --> 29:21.180
What do you mean shatter it?!
29:21.180 --> 29:24.360
If I brought it like that to the Shogunate, they'd make me commit harakiri!
29:24.360 --> 29:25.150
Ah...
29:25.150 --> 29:28.530
Didn't you listen to a single word I was saying?
29:28.530 --> 29:33.400
It's not like I said I'd accept your request anyway...
29:33.400 --> 29:35.220
That's not the problem here!
29:35.220 --> 29:37.420
Don't you understand the value of things?
29:37.420 --> 29:39.210
That's right!
29:39.210 --> 29:45.130
As one who understands the value of things, smashing something of monetary worth is unthinkable to me.
29:45.130 --> 29:45.840
Yep.
29:47.970 --> 29:49.990
How about I start off with this?
29:49.990 --> 29:51.800
It's been a while, little kitty.
29:52.130 --> 29:53.990
Maniwa Koumori...
29:53.990 --> 29:55.590
Don't be so mad.
29:55.590 --> 30:00.150
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?}
30:00.150 --> 30:01.020
Why you...
30:01.020 --> 30:05.520
We'll have plenty of time to talk about that later, Miss strategian.
30:05.520 --> 30:08.490
Nice and slowly, after I destroy this Kyotouryuu guy!
30:08.490 --> 30:10.500
Shichika, defeat him!
30:10.500 --> 30:13.530
Actually, that Kanna has got me riled up.
30:13.530 --> 30:15.660
Like I said, don't break it!
30:15.660 --> 30:17.200
Yeah, yeah.
30:17.200 --> 30:19.310
If you have any other requests, say so now.
30:19.310 --> 30:20.960
I'm going to end this right now.
30:20.960 --> 30:22.840
Well, in that case...
30:22.840 --> 30:25.800
If at all possible, do it with a flashy move.
30:25.800 --> 30:30.530
I'll have to hand in a report describing how we obtained the sword.
30:30.530 --> 30:36.160
If you have some cool move that'll capture the reader's attention, I'll ask that you use it now!
30:36.160 --> 30:39.500
Once again, don't destroy that sword, even accidentally.
30:39.500 --> 30:42.520
If you do, this story will end at chapter one!
30:42.950 --> 30:45.480
Chapter one? Are you writing a book?
30:45.480 --> 30:47.680
I'd also like to do that sometime in the future.
30:47.680 --> 30:49.390
It'd sell!
30:49.390 --> 30:51.490
I guess I'll show you something flashy then.
30:51.490 --> 30:53.030
Sorry to keep you waiting, Koumori.
30:53.030 --> 30:53.830
Wha... hey!
30:57.700 --> 30:59.410
No no, it was me delaying this.
30:59.410 --> 31:00.810
What are you doing?
31:00.810 --> 31:02.960
It's not going to be much of a fight like that!
31:02.960 --> 31:04.020
Yep.
31:04.020 --> 31:06.130
I'm not a swordsman, after all.
31:06.130 --> 31:09.810
I'm particular about this sword, so being beaten by you here wouldn't be very shinobi of me.
31:06.130 --> 31:09.800
Note: "shinobi" also means "to steal"
31:09.810 --> 31:12.170
Oops, was that a pun?
31:12.170 --> 31:13.390
I don't care.
31:13.390 --> 31:14.350
I'll beat you either way.
31:14.350 --> 31:18.930
You're no match for me if I fight with ninjutsu.
31:18.930 --> 31:21.560
My actual battlefield experience is on a different level from yours.
31:22.570 --> 31:24.500
So far this has just been a welcoming reception.
31:24.500 --> 31:28.200
Just think of it as a bad habit of mine.
31:28.200 --> 31:29.740
I'm going to be serious from now on.
31:29.880 --> 31:31.300
Stop screwing around!
31:31.300 --> 31:34.580
That thing isn't just a decoration for you to get your drool all over!
31:34.580 --> 31:36.910
Take it out! Take it out right now!
31:36.910 --> 31:40.530
Geez, such a noisy little kitty.
31:40.530 --> 31:41.820
Fine...
31:41.820 --> 31:44.040
Oh? You're unexpectedly cooperati—
31:54.420 --> 31:55.470
Ow...
32:01.540 --> 32:02.470
Huh?
32:06.110 --> 32:08.460
Damn, that was close.
32:08.460 --> 32:11.410
That kid is really something.
32:11.410 --> 32:14.960
Though I was expecting something like that, little kitty.
32:25.190 --> 32:26.280
What's this?
32:26.280 --> 32:28.040
Oh, you're awake?
32:29.110 --> 32:31.180
Don't worry, I'll be killing you soon.
32:31.180 --> 32:31.840
Koumori!!
32:31.840 --> 32:35.450
You probably think you've found something good,
32:35.450 --> 32:36.650
but that's too naive!
32:36.650 --> 32:39.850
He may be used to battling, but he's never been on a battlefield.
32:39.850 --> 32:41.580
You're just a coward who runs away.
32:41.580 --> 32:44.640
Hey hey, what are you blabbing about?
32:44.640 --> 32:49.380
Isn't a wise person supposed to fight strength using intellect, Miss strategian?
32:49.380 --> 32:52.270
All you do is bully weaker people!
32:52.270 --> 32:58.720
I come up with strategies that allow the weak to challenge the strong, by whittling away their life and spirit.
32:58.720 --> 33:00.310
Don't even compare us, you lowlife!
33:00.310 --> 33:03.120
I see strategians are also good at running their mouths off.
33:03.120 --> 33:05.190
Though even so, that's not what you did, is it?
33:05.190 --> 33:05.790
What?
33:05.790 --> 33:07.550
"Fall for me"?
33:07.550 --> 33:10.310
Come on, that's pretty wild!
33:10.310 --> 33:13.630
I was so surprised I accidentally spat out those shuriken.
33:13.890 --> 33:16.250
That attack wasn't intentional?
33:16.250 --> 33:18.390
It was way too embarrassing for me to bear.
33:20.060 --> 33:25.040
That's touching, I'd have liked someone to say that to me.
33:25.040 --> 33:28.800
Well I overheard all the information I needed, so it's fine.
33:28.800 --> 33:30.480
Hurry up and kill me!
33:30.480 --> 33:33.380
Stop trying to act so dignified, little kitty.
33:33.380 --> 33:38.820
Even while you say that, you're trying to think of a way to outsmart me, right?
33:38.820 --> 33:42.530
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}
33:43.570 --> 33:46.080
Don't worry, I won't kill you.
33:46.080 --> 33:49.610
I deliberately missed with that shuriken attack earlier.
33:50.630 --> 33:53.030
You don't understand the concept of moderation do you?
33:53.030 --> 33:56.080
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。}
33:56.080 --> 33:58.170
You don't know how fragile I am.
33:58.170 --> 34:01.060
That's not something you should be bragging about!
34:01.060 --> 34:04.470
I'll torture you when I return, so bear with it a little longer.
34:04.470 --> 34:08.640
I'm sure you're not completely clueless about the location of the remaining swords.
34:08.970 --> 34:10.990
Though since this is the end I guess I'll ask you.
34:10.990 --> 34:14.440
How about turning your back on the Shogunate and following us?
34:14.440 --> 34:16.620
I'll be sure to give you a piece of the action.
34:16.620 --> 34:17.570
I decline.
34:17.570 --> 34:19.990
People who work for money can't be trusted.
34:19.990 --> 34:21.900
You're afraid of being betrayed?
34:21.900 --> 34:24.640
I'd say it's more strange to trust in a ninja.
34:24.640 --> 34:26.450
Now then...
34:30.450 --> 34:34.860
I'm sure you've been thinking it, but the truth is you're not actually a hostage.
34:34.860 --> 34:36.510
How about this?
34:36.510 --> 34:41.010
What if I changed my appearance to that of yours?
34:53.770 --> 34:56.820
This way even that Kyotouryuu guy will let down his guard.
34:57.820 --> 35:00.350
You must be aware of my ability, right?
35:00.350 --> 35:03.750
After all, I found Kanna under your orders, then stole it.
35:08.220 --> 35:13.490
After I kill that Kyotouryuu guy, maybe I'll transform into him to kill you.
35:13.490 --> 35:17.440
Sorry, but I'll have you wait there until then.
35:17.440 --> 35:17.880
Wait!
35:18.210 --> 35:20.610
I originally betrayed you for money,
35:20.610 --> 35:26.030
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.
35:26.030 --> 35:28.890
Even that invitation just now was just so I could work with you again,
35:30.260 --> 35:32.910
and then betray you again.
35:33.730 --> 35:37.460
There's no one in this world who'd stay by your side.
35:41.900 --> 35:43.360
That's strange...
35:48.680 --> 35:50.960
Where on earth did they go?
35:52.690 --> 35:54.300
Leave the island, huh...
35:55.160 --> 35:56.210
This late...
35:57.130 --> 35:58.840
What a hassle.
36:03.230 --> 36:07.770
It's true that Kyotouryuu is a particularly troublesome opponent against Shikizaki's Deviant Blades.
36:07.770 --> 36:11.020
I'll have to make use of this chance to kill him.
36:11.290 --> 36:13.840
He's dead for sure. It's too bad...
36:13.840 --> 36:18.750
Well, once that woman set her eyes on him, his luck had already run out.
36:19.250 --> 36:19.940
Here I go.
36:20.560 --> 36:25.290
The premise is I barely escaped with my life from captivity.
36:25.290 --> 36:27.510
Before he can say anything, embrace him...
36:27.510 --> 36:28.870
And then kill.
36:30.620 --> 36:32.410
Shichika!
36:41.860 --> 36:43.470
Kyotouryuu: Peony!
36:43.470 --> 36:44.070
Kyotouryuu
36:43.470 --> 36:44.070
Peony
36:45.860 --> 36:46.970
Why?!
36:50.010 --> 36:51.350
What was wrong? The disguise?
36:51.350 --> 36:55.020
No, this isn't even a disguise, my transformation was perfect!
36:57.210 --> 36:58.940
Now that I look, it's Togame?
36:58.940 --> 36:59.920
This guy...
36:59.920 --> 37:01.860
He used that technique without even knowing who I was?!
37:01.860 --> 37:03.040
Huh?
37:03.040 --> 37:05.360
Wait, then I guess you're Koumori?
37:05.360 --> 37:06.310
Guess?
37:06.310 --> 37:07.870
Y-You...
37:07.870 --> 37:10.040
Can't you even recognize who you're facing?!
37:10.040 --> 37:14.350
Well, today's the first time I've ever seen another human besides Nee-chan.
37:14.350 --> 37:15.790
I can't recognize faces that quickly.
37:15.790 --> 37:17.350
What the hell?
37:17.350 --> 37:18.740
This wasn't even a question of disguise!
37:18.740 --> 37:21.610
From the beginning, this guy couldn't even differentiate between people?
37:21.610 --> 37:22.920
That was close...
37:22.920 --> 37:25.220
If it was her, she'd have died.
37:25.460 --> 37:27.370
This is beyond boonies...
37:27.370 --> 37:28.640
This guy's an animal!
37:28.640 --> 37:32.160
She asked for a flashy move, but it turned out kind of boring.
37:32.950 --> 37:33.820
You...
37:33.820 --> 37:36.810
Do you really want to help that woman so badly?
37:37.070 --> 37:39.060
I'm asking if you want to be used by her!
37:39.060 --> 37:39.720
Used?
37:39.720 --> 37:43.680
Didn't you think there was something strange about her story?
37:43.680 --> 37:47.190
Why does the Shogunate suddenly want to collect Shikizaki's swords after all this time?
37:47.190 --> 37:50.060
That was... because they fear a revolt?
37:50.390 --> 37:52.240
That is indeed a reason.
37:52.240 --> 37:53.620
Correct, however...
37:53.620 --> 37:57.920
don't you think it sounds too convenient?
37:57.920 --> 38:02.790
The Shogunate today doesn't hold the same reverence for Shikizaki's swords as Shogun Kyuu did.
38:02.790 --> 38:04.380
They're far more pragmatic.
38:04.380 --> 38:10.260
Ultimately, collecting up the swords this time is just a means for that woman to gain recognition.
38:10.260 --> 38:12.310
Togame the strategian...
38:12.310 --> 38:18.140
It's nothing but a move on her part to gain fame within the army as general director.
38:18.140 --> 38:20.860
I don't really understand that recognition stuff,
38:20.860 --> 38:24.320
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}
38:24.320 --> 38:27.180
That woman isn't happy with that level.
38:27.180 --> 38:28.690
She's aiming for the top.
38:28.690 --> 38:30.640
Don't you know what it means to doubt someone?
38:30.640 --> 38:36.220
That young woman will use any dirty tactics she needs to rise to the top of the system.
38:36.220 --> 38:39.000
Raw strength isn't everything in this world.
38:39.000 --> 38:41.860
When we first met, she terrified me.
38:41.860 --> 38:44.090
There is ambition in her eyes.
38:44.090 --> 38:47.470
You can sense her willingness to sacrifice anyone and anything for her goals.
38:47.470 --> 38:50.180
She was perfectly willing to use the Maniwa corps, too.
38:50.180 --> 38:54.430
A fearsome ninja brigade made up of professional assassins, you know? Madness!
38:55.010 --> 38:57.850
And she is merely using you too, Kyotouryuu head!
38:58.380 --> 39:00.660
Is it going to end here?
39:00.660 --> 39:02.770
In this place?
39:03.040 --> 39:05.480
So before you were betrayed, you betrayed others?
39:05.480 --> 39:06.440
That's right.
39:06.440 --> 39:08.970
There's no way I'd follow that woman.
39:08.970 --> 39:12.150
Where do you think her ultimate aim lies?
39:12.150 --> 39:13.910
The right hand of the Shogun!
39:14.700 --> 39:17.010
The current Shogun is getting old.
39:17.010 --> 39:19.050
It won't be long before he retires.
39:19.050 --> 39:25.000
When that happens, I'm sure you can imagine what the natural step will be for the young lieutenant at his side?
39:25.000 --> 39:26.130
Ruling the world...
39:26.130 --> 39:31.050
I threw away my name and my family, all for it to end on this island?
39:31.050 --> 39:34.590
That's not really something to condemn her for...
39:34.590 --> 39:39.550
Well, for someone like you who was used, I'm sure it doesn't feel right.
39:39.550 --> 39:41.480
I don't really care about being used.
39:41.480 --> 39:43.590
Being used and using others is the way of the world.
39:43.590 --> 39:48.390
However, my problem in this case is the reason I was used!
39:48.390 --> 39:52.660
In case you don't know, my head isn't that great, so saying stuff like that doesn't really get through to me.
39:53.460 --> 39:58.790
That woman is the daughter of the leader of the last rebellion, Hida Takahito!
39:58.790 --> 40:03.210
Who can deny the motivations of rebels?
40:03.210 --> 40:06.880
If things had gone better, she'd have been the princess in her castle, ruling over a whole country.
40:06.880 --> 40:08.360
I can already see it.
40:08.360 --> 40:10.800
It's within my grasp!
40:10.800 --> 40:14.390
That woman is aiming for promotion without a care for the means.
40:14.390 --> 40:17.150
She aims to be the right hand man to the current Shogun.
40:17.150 --> 40:19.200
I'm sure you understand what that means.
40:19.200 --> 40:21.040
Father's dreams...
40:21.040 --> 40:22.350
Father's regrets...
40:22.350 --> 40:27.070
She was willing to ask for help from her father's enemies to collect those swords?
40:27.070 --> 40:30.510
It must be clear to you by now what she's planning...
40:30.510 --> 40:31.990
Revenge!
40:31.990 --> 40:34.910
I should have been able to avenge father's death!
40:34.910 --> 40:38.400
It's revenge for having her whole family exterminated!
40:39.110 --> 40:44.550
After all, that girl was watching as her family was killed!
40:51.050 --> 40:55.220
Even if that was the only possibility, to ask the person responsible for my father's death...
40:55.220 --> 40:58.170
Even if not that, to depend on his son...
40:58.170 --> 40:59.670
Even though I'm the son of her enemy...
40:59.670 --> 41:03.390
Maybe I was wrong to rely on Kyotouryuu after all...
41:03.390 --> 41:07.150
She's an insect born from the leader of the rebellion.
41:07.150 --> 41:12.260
I don't want to hear about treachery or cowardice from her!
41:14.320 --> 41:15.770
This is a good body.
41:15.770 --> 41:17.600
Allow me to use it as a reference.
41:17.600 --> 41:21.740
Your strength, musculature, and balance are all a perfect fit.
41:22.680 --> 41:23.880
Though,
41:23.880 --> 41:29.630
you've got the pain from when my shuriken hit your arms and legs, so I have a bit of an advantage.
41:30.000 --> 41:33.680
Just so you know, an attack like that doesn't hurt or even itch anymore.
41:33.680 --> 41:38.510
Seems it, so I guess we're as equal as rock vs rock. {ie: rock-paper-scissors}
41:39.810 --> 41:42.410
Though my "rock" here is quite strong.
41:42.410 --> 41:43.480
Hey.
41:43.920 --> 41:47.550
Is there anyone else who knows Togame's secret?
41:47.550 --> 41:50.760
There's no way I'd just give away such intriguing information.
41:50.760 --> 41:53.880
So it'll be fine if I just finish you off here, right?
41:54.520 --> 41:57.320
You're suddenly in a fighting mood now that you're facing me?
41:59.010 --> 42:02.740
I am the 7th generation Kyotouryuu head, Yasuri Shichika.
42:02.740 --> 42:03.870
Here I go! {推して参る}
42:04.920 --> 42:07.030
Don't try to act cool!
42:07.540 --> 42:08.620
Come!
42:08.620 --> 42:10.710
I'll finish you with an extremely flashy move!
42:11.000 --> 42:12.840
Ultimate secret technique!
42:14.880 --> 42:16.130
Houfuku Zettou!
42:21.600 --> 42:22.760
Wh-Why?!
42:22.760 --> 42:27.020
Kyotouryuu men don't have any skill whatsoever with a sword!
42:27.020 --> 42:29.230
We're not swordsmen who don't use swords,
42:29.230 --> 42:30.690
we're swordsmen who can't use them!
42:32.520 --> 42:33.940
I'm going to be...
42:34.530 --> 42:36.860
Incidentally, I called it "ultimate secret technique",
42:36.860 --> 42:41.200
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}
42:42.450 --> 42:47.330
The opponent take 7 hits from this secret technique, getting ripped apart in the blink of an eye!
42:47.330 --> 42:47.960
Kyouka
42:47.330 --> 42:47.960
Suigetsu
42:47.750 --> 42:49.250
So for now, I'll call it:
42:48.540 --> 42:49.250
Kachou
42:48.540 --> 42:49.250
Fuugetsu
42:50.130 --> 42:50.840
Hyakka
42:50.130 --> 42:50.840
Ryouran
42:52.920 --> 42:53.590
Ryuuryoku
42:52.920 --> 42:53.590
Kakou
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
H
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
i
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
k
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
a
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
R
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
a
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
k
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
u
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
y
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
o
42:54.670 --> 42:55.340
u
42:56.630 --> 42:57.300
Kinjou
42:56.630 --> 42:57.300
Tenka
42:59.680 --> 43:02.010
Kyotouryuu: Shichika Hachiretsu! {TL note: 7 petal 8 fissure}
42:59.680 --> 43:00.290
Rakka
42:59.680 --> 43:00.290
Rouzeki
43:06.640 --> 43:07.350
Shichika Hachiretsu
43:12.060 --> 43:13.770
What a state I'm in now...
43:13.770 --> 43:15.570
And I'm from a samurai bloodline too!
43:15.570 --> 43:17.820
Before my appearance becomes any more embarrassing, I've got to...
43:20.650 --> 43:23.070
It's not like this rope can't loosen or unravel...
43:23.070 --> 43:25.870
It's my strategies that are infallible and sharp!
43:25.870 --> 43:28.080
There's no way I can lose to this!
43:30.410 --> 43:32.000
So you were here.
43:35.340 --> 43:37.800
So that's the "eye" he was talking about.
43:39.720 --> 43:43.350
To me at least, it sparkles in quite a pretty way.
43:46.140 --> 43:48.600
Well for now, I've got one of them.
43:52.190 --> 43:56.820
Why does he sound like he's just getting started?
44:01.030 --> 44:02.320
Shichika, what about Koumori?!
44:02.320 --> 44:05.570
I finished him off with an awesome move.
44:05.570 --> 44:06.620
You missed it.
44:08.830 --> 44:09.870
That's too bad.
44:09.870 --> 44:13.790
Don't get me wrong, I did it for you.
44:14.170 --> 44:20.380
It's not that I want money or that I've been lured in by Shikizaki's swords.
44:20.380 --> 44:23.800
And I don't have a shred of obligation to help the Shogunate either.
44:24.220 --> 44:26.720
I've just decided I want to help you.
44:27.760 --> 44:29.770
I've fallen for you.
44:52.910 --> 44:53.870
Togame-san.
44:55.210 --> 44:59.130
I wanted to let you know I approve of this decision.
44:59.130 --> 45:00.460
Is that right?
45:00.460 --> 45:02.210
I thought for sure you'd object.
45:02.760 --> 45:04.380
I suppose...
45:04.380 --> 45:10.100
Well to be honest, I don't really care at all about the actual basis of your journey.
45:10.100 --> 45:15.810
If that child has found a reason to leave this island, I approve of it.
45:15.810 --> 45:22.070
He's been on this island for 20 years, training and studying hard,
45:22.070 --> 45:25.780
and it'd simply be too much of a waste if he didn't accomplish anything.
45:26.740 --> 45:30.990
Just so you know, it's not going to be any sort of simple journey.
45:30.990 --> 45:37.460
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.
45:37.460 --> 45:39.380
Demons and serpents...
45:39.380 --> 45:42.630
I'm bringing along your brother to fight those kinds of battles.
45:43.050 --> 45:45.340
You're quite kind, aren't you?
45:46.220 --> 45:49.600
You truly care about him, don't you.
45:50.050 --> 45:53.890
I have no worries entrusting him to your care.
45:55.770 --> 45:57.190
I'm...
45:58.350 --> 46:02.110
I'm not such a kind woman.
46:04.940 --> 46:09.110
Yasuri Shichika, I have four directives for you.
46:09.110 --> 46:09.950
Four?
46:09.950 --> 46:10.370
Let's hear them.
46:10.820 --> 46:13.620
First I'll repeat what I said earlier - don't break the swords.
46:13.620 --> 46:14.450
Understood.
46:14.450 --> 46:16.210
I will protect the swords.
46:16.210 --> 46:16.790
The second?
46:16.790 --> 46:18.420
Protect me.
46:18.420 --> 46:22.710
Even though our objective is the collection of Shikizaki's swords, if I die it'll all be in vain.
46:22.960 --> 46:23.880
Understood.
46:23.880 --> 46:25.760
I will protect you.
46:25.760 --> 46:26.470
The third?
46:26.800 --> 46:28.800
Protect yourself.
46:28.800 --> 46:32.100
This is not me being considerate of you or anything.
46:32.100 --> 46:35.930
Until we collect all 12 of Shikizaki's swords, dying is unacceptable.
46:36.180 --> 46:37.180
Understood.
46:37.180 --> 46:39.140
I will protect myself.
46:39.140 --> 46:39.860
The fourth?
46:40.440 --> 46:41.770
Protect yourself.
46:42.440 --> 46:45.690
This is me being considerate of you.
46:47.190 --> 46:48.360
Don't die.
46:48.360 --> 46:51.450
The road will be harsh, but you mustn't die.
46:51.450 --> 46:52.320
You can do that right?
46:52.320 --> 46:53.740
I won't let you say you can't.
46:53.740 --> 46:55.330
Hurry up and say you get it!
46:56.040 --> 46:58.080
I completely understand.
46:58.080 --> 46:59.160
So what do we do now?
46:59.160 --> 47:00.500
No need to rush ahead.
47:00.500 --> 47:02.380
When we get to the city, I'll buy you some clothes.
47:02.380 --> 47:03.380
Got it.
47:03.380 --> 47:04.380
I love you.
47:04.380 --> 47:05.130
Yep.
47:05.130 --> 47:07.260
Love me as much as you want.
47:08.220 --> 47:12.470
A man unknown to anyone, a woman who closed her heart.
47:12.470 --> 47:15.760
And so those two began their journey.
47:16.100 --> 47:21.190
With no destination nor destiny, a journey to collect swords.
47:21.940 --> 47:24.360
Demons and serpents await them.
47:25.070 --> 47:28.990
The story of Katanagatari on this month and this evening...
47:28.990 --> 47:30.700
ends here.
47:36.540 --> 47:37.200
Though...
47:37.950 --> 47:41.080
That child is so weak... will they be okay?
47:44.130 --> 47:50.840
tadayou nami ni yorisou hana wa
47:44.130 --> 47:50.840
漂う波に寄り添う華は
47:44.130 --> 47:50.840
The flowers drifting in the waves,
47:50.840 --> 47:53.550
