The time: the Warring States Era.
The brave men aiming to unify the land heralded
in the age with the entire country on the line.
The one closest to unifying the land was the
Devil King of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga.
Nobunaga ruthlessly shot down all those who dared stand in his way.
His biological sister, Oichi, and her husband, Azai Nagamasa were no exception.
As the Oda army dyed the land of the rising sun in blood and fear,
the One-eyed Dragon of Oshu, Date Masamune,
and the young warrior of the Kai Takeda, Sanada Yukimura,
aim for Nobunaga’s stronghold in Azuchi together
despite formally being enemies themselves.
We’ll turn Azuchi Castle into the Devil King’s grave!
{need to decide how to handle maou variations}
We absolutely cannot give our future over to a compassionless general!
All we shall offer the Devil King are prayers for the dead!
Thus, their rear guard, comprised of warriors
from all over the land, amass at Azuchi.
From Oshu: Masamune’s long-time confidant and loyal retainer, Katakura Kojuro.
From Kai: the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen; And Shingen and Yukimura’s dependable
ninja, Sarutobi Sasuke.
{what, Shingen totally wasn’t there, was he? idk}
From Eichigo: the general, Uesugi Kenshin and his adoring ninja, Kasuga.
Further, thanks to the appeals of the Vagabond of the Maeda clan, Maeda Keiji,
Chosokabe Motochika from Saigoku and Mori Motonari both
heeded the call and the siege of the Oda clan was complete.
You finish this.
I shall, though it may cost me my life.
With the hearts and minds of the states behind
them, Masamune and Yukimura defeated Nobunaga.
With Nobunaga’s death and the wealth and might of the
country behind him, the Despot King, Toyotomi Hideyoshi,
along with his strategist, Takenaka Hanbei, sought world
domination and once again the land was plunged into turmoil.
With Masmune, set on making a comeback having been once defeated
by the surprising power of the Toyotomi, heading for Osaka,
and Yukimura, setting out on an expedition to Saigoku on
Shingen’s orders, having caught wind of the Toyotomi plot,
they were both moving to defeat the Toyotomi,
though their paths may have differed.
They both walked the paths they believe in, overcoming trial after trial.
And then, just as the Toyotomi army headed complete its dominion of the land,
Mori Motonari, who had formed an alliance with the Toyotomi, rose in rebellion.
And Yukimura, who had allied with the Satsuma
Army amidst the chaos, took him down.
Meanwhile, in Odawara, Masamune’s brings his fight to the
death with Hideyoshi to a close, managing a narrow victory.
And with that, it seemed like these turbulent times were coming to an end,
but the destruction of the Toyotomi heralded in a third wave of turmoil.
Two of Hideyoshi’s subordinates:
Tokugawa leyasu, aiming to unify the nation with heartfelt bonds,
and Ishida Mitsunari, hunting down Masamune to avenge Hideyoshi.
Thus, with the entangled feelings of Masamune, Yukimura and the other generals,
the greatest battle of the Warring States Era was about to explode.
With the defeat of the Oda and the end of the Toyotomi Era,
countless wars brought forth untold sorrow and regret.
And that, at times, transforms the souls of
those left behind into a hell fire of carnage.
Their fates which ought to have been meager, warp, seized with uncertainty.
Here is one such soul.
Lord Hideyoshi...
Lord...Hideyoshi!
LORD...HIDEYOSHI!
The Lamenting.
His name: Ishida Mitsunari.
Let the game begin! Amidst the profusion of florid colors
Wills to fight intertwine
How numerously those bonds gush fourth from their Flags
Those that carve up the brilliance shall herald in a new age
Their lust, like a Crazy Storm, compels them to paint
A rainbow that sparkles only at night, they are
drawn to it even though it makes their hearts pound
They hold their breath in anticipation, at the mercy of each other’s eyes
They don’t budge, not even one step, as the brilliance draws near
They aimed for the heavens!
Gather! At the banquet of flowers hastening to bloom at the summit
A storm crashes through tomorrow
How wonderously those souls spring forth from their Flags
If they don’t sprint through the moment, their lives will never be set ablaze
You, who will carve up the brilliance!
Create a new age!
I shall not allow you to beg for your life.
L-Lord Mogami!
The enemy is not a great army!
Hm? What ever do you mean?
I-It’s a single man!
Hmph. Just when I thought it was a whole army, it’s just a skinny little boy.
That’s much more convenient.
A gentleman...!
is never violent!
I know all about you, my boy.
Now then, come here Ando, or whatever!
{added or whatever because it would be hard for
normalfags to realize he doesn’t know what mitsunari’s name is and is making it up}
I don’t know who you are, but let’s be friends!
As a token of our friendship, have a
Getting-to-know-you-Genmaicha! {lol this worked perfectly}
And look, the tea leaves are aligned auspiciously!
Certainly, you wouldn’t do anything reckless when you’re
at such an overwhelming disadvantage, would you, my boy?
Begone.{this kanji is seriously the closest thing to Fuck off ever}
Refusal is not an option. {I don’t take no for an answer}
Those that hinder me are just as guilty as he is.
W-Who’s ‘he’?
You wouldn’t happen to have come here to kill the splendid,
sly fox of Ushu, Mogami Yoshiaki, would you, my boy?
Save your shenanigans for your mustache.
W-wait!{panic sounds}
{THE SOUND A FOX MAKES, WHATEVER THAT IS}
The one I am after...!
Is me, brah.
GOOD SPIRIT!
Pretty ballsy of you to try and get REVENGE on your own, Toyotomi leftovers.
I came here to say ‘sup.
T-T-T-There you are!
I was waiting for you!
How do you like that, Yamada or whatever!
He’s my bosom buddy, the One Eyed Dragon of Oshu...
HA! Yeah right, old fart.
You’re more BFFs with tea cups than a dragon!
{idk, i had to make this more obnoxious sounding}
It’s you!
Do whatever you want to that GENTLEMAN, I’ll wait.
{gonna treat Masamune’s Engrish on a case-by-case basis}
V-V-Violence is bad!
Lord Hideyoshi...
give me permission to decapitate this man in vengeance!
{zanmetsu, decapitate AND destroy!
Fun––if we wanna go there I suggest “decapistroy”}
Who the hell are you?
I have no name for the likes of you...!
MARVELOUS!
This is not a game!
Unforgivable...!
I shall never forgive you!
Not bad, but...
I’m Date Masamune, Head of the Oshu Gang!
And, sorry brah, but there’s only one dude in these Warring States
who can, unironically, HEAT this dragon UP!{G-G-GAY}
COOL OFF!
You can’t beat me with resentment alone.
Fly your own flag, dude.
Then we can talk.
Let’s go at it, with the land as the prize.{Tenka}
YOU SEE?
As if I care about the likes of the land!
I desire nothing more than to end your sorry life!
If you wanna mourn General Monkey that badly, why don’t you go cry at his grave?
You... How dare a criminal insult my Lord Hideyoshi with such a churlish nickname!
KEEP IT UP!
HA!
You bastard!
Let me execute you! {this is some obsolete word for
killing someone who has committed a crime/sinned}
Unforgivable!
I shall never forgive you for your crimes!
Date Masamuneeeeee!
I should not expect anything less from my eternal rival.
It was a complete defeat, Tiger of Kai.
Thanks to you, I have spent half my life full of vigor.
You have my heartfelt thanks, Kenshin.
I leave the future of Echigo, to the Tiger of Kai.
Trust this man and devote your energies to him.
Understand?{良いですね}
Milord...!
Yukimura, observe well.
Some day, this time shall come for you.
Yessir!
We must part, my beautiful blade...
Farewell, Kenshin...!
Lord Shingen!
That’s-!
Sir Tokugawa... Ieyasu!?
You mustn’t sever your bonds!
Lord Shingen!
The Light of the East...
It’s you, Takechiyo.
It has been too long.
You’ve certainly grown.
I guess I have, but you are still bigger.
I am glad to see you are as healthy as ever.
You seem well too, Sanada Yukimura.
It has been ages since last we met, Sir leyasu.
I came here today with a singular purpose:
To convey my determination to Lord Shingen and to Lord Kenshin as well.
I, Tokugawa leyasu, have firmly resolved to unify
the Land of the Rising Sun with the power of bonds.
“This is the last time.”
So everyone says and so everyone believes,
but thus far we have been repeating the same actions over and over.
However, each time someone tries to seize the land,
yet another appears and the world descends into the chaos of war.
This time, I want to bring an end to this world in which those who
believe in tomorrow cannot live to see it. {this line right here
is about max length for a single line... idk how the dialogue’s gonna
be styled but I think this should be a safe 2x stack length}
Thus, you have preemptively removed your helmet and cast away your spear?
Indeed I have.
In sum, you can wait no longer for the time to be ripe.
That is correct, Lord Shingen.
To wait any longer would be tantamount to wishing for the ruin of our country.
“Waiting for the time to be ripe” would mean “missing an opportunity."
I cannot think of anything more heartening than the two
of you, the Tiger of Kai and the War God of Echigo,
bound by such deep bonds, lending me your strength hand-in-hand.
Ieyasu,
I understand your thoughts but, no one will lend you their ears.
Certainly, if obtaining universal approval were a simple task,
no one would go to war in the first place.
Only two were willing to listen, having paid me a visit in response to rumors:
The Vagabond of the Maeda and the Demon of the West Sea.
But even so, I–
Milord...!
Then, try to achieve it.
Thank you, Lord Shingen, Lord Kenshin.
We will meet again, Sanada.
MILORDDD!
What is so urgent?
I am most busy with the expansion of the Takeda territory.
There is a matter I wish to report to you, Milord!
Speak.
Yessir!
There has been something smoldering in this chest of mine
since after returning from my previous trip to Satsuma and doing battle with the Mori.
{yukimura has some derp grammar here, need to reflect it more––he’s gotta
be talking about the Mori army and not Mori himself since he doesn’t -dono the
name, unless Mori’s the one person Yukimura has literally 0 respect for, lol}
It was but a vague feeling and, try as I might, I could not give it to words.
But, Lord leyasu has shown me what it was through his example.
{derp, mi wo motte shimesu is to show by one’s own example, idk how to put in words}
You’re too naive, Yukimura.
A thousand pardons, however...
Lord leyasu’s unparalleled determination to achieve, with
a single fist, what all others have long given up on,
nay, what none have even attempted in this war-torn age
has set my heart hopelessly ablaze! {timing check}
You are telling me that, for the sake of tomorrow, you are
prepared to abandon those spears of yours henceforth?
Those spears you thoroughly tempered and continued to refine?
Yessir!
Yukimura!
Yessir!
That’s...
good!
Yessir!
That’s... GOOD!
YUUUKIMURAAAAA!
WHAA-? {sounds of getting punched}
Milord?!
Now that’s a true warrior!
This is not a decision born out of youthful impetuosity!
Nay, it is what all men should aspire to!
Now, in my stead, blaze a trail to tomorrow!
{totally not forcing a 00 joke in here...}
Milord...!
Now is the time, more than ever, as you have fallen into
the abyss of agony and devoted yourself to your studies,
and now as you have acquired the spirit,
skills and also strength of the martial arts!
Know this! You and leyasu can achieve it!
Understoooood!
Miiiiiiloooord!
Yuuukimuraaaa!
Miiiiiiloooord!
Yuuukimuraaaa!
Miiiiiiloooord!
Yuuukimuraaaa!
Miiiiiiiiiiloooooooooooooooooord!
Yuuuuukimuraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! {Where do I even end this timing check}
Wait a sec, this is getting serious!
Mi...lorb... {fudging their pronounciations}
Yuki...bura...
Milord!
Yukimura...
I, Takeda Shingen, have taught you all that I know.
You’ve adjudged the God of War and have surpassed me.
I entrust the spirit of the Tiger to you.
Yuki...mura...!
Milord!
Milord!?
Miiiiiiilooooord!
He could’ve just retired like a normal person.
Sasuke!
There have been signs of unrest in various places.
I’m assuming I should report to you now, General.
Boss!
Lord Masamune!
Where did you go off to without mobilizing the troops?
We should have intercepted the unidentified intruder who
trespassed upon Oshu before leaving Mogami’s territory––
There was only one opponent, Kojuro.
What?!
Just one person?
No big deal, dude.
I just had to roll out the welcome wagon for that
desperate, REVENGE-crazed Toyotomi survivor––{just
wanted to receive some hospitality...
check 丁重にお引き取り願った （line break? ) リベンジに駆られて躍起になってる、豊臣のー生き残りが}
Lord Masamune?!
B-Boss?
Boss?!
Booooooooss!!
Have you tired of strolling about, Mitsunari?
Date Masamune,
I care not if you abase me,
but there is no meaning in making mincemeat out of
you if you continue to scorn my Lord Hideyoshi.
That knave used my own self to further blaspheme my Lord Hideyoshi!
I must make him repent before granting him the death penalty!
{wash out those thoughts=> repent}
Hee hee, there are few that take others’ words as seriously as you do, Sire.
Speak your mind clearly and concisely, Magistrate.
I know not what manner of cowardly tactics the One Eyed
Dragon used to entomb the regent, { Hideyoshi,... I'm
thinking people'll be able to pick up Regent=Hideyoshi
from context here but if they can't, fuck them}
but, his refusal fight one who does not command an army?
It is, perhaps, just a makeshift excuse.
You may have failed to kill him, but surely you made him run away with his tail
between his legs. Aapparently you have to watch the movie 6 times to understand
this scene if you’re a native Japanese speaker, lol: http://detail.chiebukuro.
Yahoo. co. jp/qa/question_detail/q1269735747 note: find more hilarious idiom}
Do you not believe that, Sire?
If it is as you say...
It is all the more unforgivable!
For such a weakling to have felled Lord Hideyoshi!
There is no need to raise an army against such a weak foe.
It would be prudent tempt him into action and lie in wait.
I shall make arrangements.
I leave it all to you.
Are you not curious about my choice of tactic?
I have no time to doubt you.
I see.
All for honor, all for you, Sire.
Lord Masamune! You still mustn’t move around too––
Found out who that dude was?
Yessir, Ishida Mitsunari.
After invading Oshu alone, it appears that he
led an army and attacked a variety of places.
And after mercilessly visiting violence upon not
only soldiers, but unarmed civilians as well,
he makes a show of raising his own flag and leaves.
Wholesale slaughter?
The generals of the other states are now filled with trepidation.
They call Ishida Mitsunari, “The Minister of
Misfortune, ” for they fear and detest him.
Kojuro...
Yes?
I’m gonna go beat up Ishida.
Back there, I, the One Eyed Dragon, used mere words to distract him
and turned my tail and ran from an enemy!
This world is vast.
Huh?
Your decision to refrain from needlessly
crossing swords with a revenge-crazed assassin
is most befitting of one who’s duty is to care for and protect Oshu.
I have rebuked you for recklessly going out alone,
but thanks to you, this land avoided violation
and the soldiers and civilians carry on their normal, daily lives.
Do not believe for a moment that only those who go to extremes
for military valor are worthy of becoming Conqueror of the Land.
I haven’t the faintest idea as to why you feel
responsible for Ishida’s subsequent deeds.
I’m the one who pissed that dude off.
I told him to come back again after he flew his own flag.
Gotta settle things with him.
In that case, there is one thing I must say.
Next time, I shall not let you go alone.
The King of Misfortune, huh?
Yeah, that dude was CRAZY.
But...
Why did he have such clear eyes?
As forces began to make secret maneuvers in response to the Ishida army,
Tokugawa leyasu, Maeda Keiji, and Chosokabe Motochika, tried
launching a full-blown walking tour about the country
in order to convince the lords of the states that
it was not a day too soon to end the war-torn age.
Ieyasu...
You scoundrel, why do you refuse to avenge Lord Hideyoshi with me?
How can you forget Lord Hideyoshi’s kindness and abandon the Toyotomi?
Sir Hideyoshi was too concerned with power.
If left unchecked, the Toyotomi would have spread the fires of war to the whole world,
and even more people would die and fall into despair.
You... Just what did you see when you were with them?
Lord Hideyoshi sought power with that indefatigable heart
of his and fought to protect the pride of this country,
so that the Land of the Rising Sun would not fall to ruin!
Listen to me, Mitsunari.
I am as guilty as anyone of admiring heroes from a far.
But, I have learned something in doing so.
Ironically, their actions were not so heroic.
Power exists not to be used.
One must have the strength of both body and heart
never to brandish it in order to protect our bonds.
That is what true heroism is.
That is what I should have told Sir Hideyoshi...
My crime was my failure to do so.
Had I, perhaps Sir Hideyoshi would still be alive.
Know your place, leyasu!
You disgust me with your impertinent talk!
What can any man other than Lord Hideyoshi accomplish with a naked fist alone?
Prove it to me before this blade, wet with my bitter tears of blood!
Mitsunari, I came here to talk to you!
As a friend, I wanted to make sure you understood first.
There is nothing I need to hear from the likes of you.
I have no need for friendship!
Why do you think that?
You, just as Sir Hanbei was to Sir Hideyoshi–
How dare you frivolously speak their names!
Lord Hideyoshi and Lord Hanbei shared a bond
deeper than a mere mortal could understand!
Yes, a bond!
Those two shared a deep bond! {this is the gayest thing to ever gay}
And so did Sir Hideyoshi and Keiji!
Maeda Keiji...
He committed the folly of standing in Lord Hideyoshi’s way as he headed for Odawara.
He is deserving of certain death!
He the very picture of self-righteousness!
I shall indict him after Date Masamune!
I don’t believe that.
Keiji believed in his bonds with Sir Hideyoshi,
and I believe his actions are the very symbol of those who will live from hereon.
Do not glorify those that defied Lord Hideyoshi!
Do not talk about Lord Hideyoshi as if he represents bygone days!
Lord Hideyoshi is the one who should have lived from hereon and blazed a
trail to tomorrow with his sword! {oh yeah the 00 jokes just keep rolling}
Lord Hideyoshi, was my everything!
Mitsunari!
I refuse to indulge you in any further conversation.
I shall never forgive that man who stole my Lord Hideyoshi away!
This world that is on the verge of forgetting
Lord Hideyoshi, is unforgivable! The lot of it!
What a pretty flower garden...
They said something wonderful will happen if I make a lot of flowers bloom...
So Ichi is going to try very hard to make them bloom.
My brother is laughing...
I’m so happy...
Wonderful!
Yes!
More! Accumulate more of them! Lady Oichi!
I’m scared, Father Tenkai...!
Legatus, you truly are a timid one.
It will be fine as long as you offer up a prayer to Buddha.
No, you offer up a prayer to Buddha! Aren’t you a priest?
Fret not. I shall hold a memorial service for them en masse.
Is it going well? {not sure of this}
Don’t surprise me like that, Mr. Otani...
Before long, everything shall be in order.
And what of you?
Mitsunari does not doubt me.
Magistrate, you seem quite friendly with the King of Misfortune.
Credence is not something so easily obtained.
I am not working for his benefit.
I am merely noting that Mitsunari does not suspect a thing.
The Devil Queen of the Fifth Heaven...
Lady Oichi and the King of Misfortune, Ishida Mitsunari.
An impeccable medium for channeling the true banquet
that I desire and the destruction you wish for.
and Legatus shall provide the finishing touches.
Huh!? Y-yeah.
Juuuust you waiiiit, Booooosss!
Boooooossss!
CHEEECK IT OUUUT, YO! {all in bad english}
Yoshinao!
Hey, Y-Yoshinao!
Where were you hit?
A crow?
What!?
Hey, long time no see.
Mr. Keiji!
What’s up?
Just wanted to see the One Eyed Dragon.
How’s he been?
The Boss said he was gonna settle things with Ishida Mitsunari.
We’re chasing after him right now.
Gonna go mess up Tokugawa after we beat up Ishida!
Huh?
The Boss... feels responsible.
And now even Tokugawa is taking advantage of
the Ishida troops’ random acts of violence...
I’ve heard the rumors, but leyasu wouldn’t do such a thing––
Hey.
What’s stuck in your hair?
Huh?
Why would that be in...!
This is...
a letter to the Boss.
From Tokugawa leyasu!
What?!
Lemme take a look.
Hey, wait!
But, uh, that’s...
for the Boss.
You can’t!
This is...!
I am Tokugawa leyasu.
One who desires from the bottom of his heart
to govern the lands with the power of bonds.
I have visited every corner of the land and advocated the
importance of bonds to everyone. {split: daga yorikake}
However, regrettably, not one person responded to my appeal.
With each battle, no matter how much we exhaust ourselves
or how often we experience the grief of losing something irreplaceable
no one in this Land of the Rising Sun tries to believe in the power of bonds.
This reality has sunk deep into my mind and I understand now...
Therefore, shameful as it may be, I have no option but to change my methods.
It precisely because my will is unyielding that I must resort to force.
I would like you to understand that, at any time,
the Tokugawa could do as Ishida Mitsunari,
who has been rampaging about as he pleases.
Now, I have even started to think that this Land of the Rising Sun,
filled with those poor in spirit who do not try to take each other’s hands,
might be better off being destroyed along with the villainous Ishida army.
However, I understand that is nothing more than my own imprudence.
Therefore, I would like to speak with everyone once more.
On September 15th, at daybreak, I would like for you
to all gather on the grounds of Sekigahara in Mino.
To all warriors born and raised in the Land
of the Rising Sun who grieve for its future.
––Tokugawa leyasu
Methinks Sir leyasu would not do something so craven and backhanded!
It’s just a rumor that he ended up resorting to force after no one gave him
the time of day when he visited the states to bring peace to the land.
Well, you’d normally think it was pretty shady.
To be talking about “bonds” all of a sudden in this day and age.
That is not so!
Nay...
Regrettably,
I sense that many have such inclinations...
But nonetheless Sir leyasu would not––
This letter... The brushstrokes look just like his, but...
Something smells fishy...
It certainly is suspicious, and that is why––
No, I mean it kinda smells delicious...
Kinda like, hot pot.
H-Hot pot?
What I’m worried about is how the surprise attacks keep happening
even though none of the ninja squads I sent out catch wind of them.
Even though no one’s seen forces that could be them moving about,
almost every night some place gets attacked and falls.
Could they be utilizing a as-of-yet unheard of weapon?
In any case, that is not something Sir leyasu would do!
Sir Masamune!
LONG TIME KNOW SEE! {masamune actually says this and is dumb}
Just where do you think you’re going with such an angry face, Sanada Yukimura?
It has been ages since last we met.
I am on my way to call on Sir Tokugawa leyasu.
HM, that’s so you to be driven by righteous indignation.
Word on the street is that he’s pretty tough.
Be careful, bro.
Nay, that is not––
I’m gonna go kick around Ishida Mitsunari.
I was gonna come back around to get leyasu too,
but if you’re going I’ll leave him to you, bro.
Sir Masamune––
Yo, I heard you’ve succeeded the Old Tiger?
Indeed.
Good job.
When we’re done running errands, let’s have a PARTY to settle things.
I do wish to settle things with thee.
However, at this time, I am not on my way to destroy Sir leyasu.
Hm？
I am calling on him to confirm something:
That Sir leyasu is not one who would trample
down other lands as if imitating the Ishida army
and tell all the generals to gather at the grounds of Sekigahara in a half-threat.
Sekigahara, you say?
I also have something I need to check with Ishida too.
But that doesn’t change the fact that we’re going to go at it anyway.
Catch you later, Sanada Yukimura.
Oh yeah, this is where you and I first fought each other.
That is correct.
How about we settle things right now?
What are you saying...
Lord Masamune!
I could have resisted if we met anywhere else but here, but...
{just couldn’t keep it in your pants, could you?}
A match with that dude doesn’t make me COOL or HOT.
Somebody wins and somebody dies.
It’s just a DEATH MATCH slathered in hatred.
HAD NO CHOICE!
So I wanna go at it with you right now!
Sanada Yukimura!
Sir Masamune!?
General!
To not accept would be the greatest regret of my life!
I feel as such!
DEATH BITE!
Ring of Fire!
Who goes there?
What are you doing, Vagabond?
Just what are you guys doing when the land’s in trouble?!
Sorry dude, but it’s got nothin’ to do with you.
Outta my way!
I get it, you’re rude. But I won’t back down!
Do not interfere!
Oops!
SHIT! {timing check}
That’s it!
I know how you feel, but let’s stop here, you two.
You, Sir, are...
I’m Maeda Keiji.
This is Yumekichi.
You’re Sanada Yukimura of Kai, the guy who
always makes the One Eyed Dragon happy, right?
Huh?
How about it?
Until this haze hanging over the land is neatly cleared
away, why don’t you let me hold on to this match for you?
Yeah. As far as I’m concerned, you’re always my GOAL.
Almost forgot about that other dude.
Thanks, girly-boy.
What a clear spoken, cheerful personage...
I shall leave it in your custody, Sir Maeda!
Lord Masamune.
That letter you were talking about, huh?
No need to read it.
I’ll find out what the hell’s going on and who’s up to what, once I get to Sekigahara.
Yeah, probably.
Both leyasu and Chosokabe Motochika, who’s running around
western Japan now, should be rushing there themselves.
It’s gonna be a crazy-ass PARTY.
If that douche Ishida is hostin’ it, then Imma
settle it with him right in the middle of it!
For you, Boss...
What’s this?
Everyone in the Date gang talked it over and said they want you to use it, Boss.
We knew you might get mad, Boss, but
we got permission from Lord Katakura and we rushed to make it.
It wasn’t easy to get the old smithy to sign off on it so it’s a bit late but...
Use this for your fight with Ishida––
The King of Misfortune, Ishida Mitsuri... is he that strong?
Please accept it, Boss!
Boss! {timing or missing line?}
Lord Masamune.
Lord Masamune’s life, is the life of everyone in Oshu.
HM, not bad.
COOL ACCESSORY, bros.
I’ll use it.
Her fear in hand, her fear in heart...
The roots did tear her soul apart...
They ate him inside out, his roots that did sprout––
Um...Ms. Oichi...?
Petals fall and flowers wither...
D-do you want some hot pot?
The voices call, "Come now! Come hither!"
Legatus.
I have bad news.
Huh? What? What is it?
Everyone has found out that you used Tokugawa
Ieyasu’s name to write a fraudulent letter.
Whaaaa-?
It seems like the generals are quite angry and once they arrive
at Sekigahara they will first destroy Kobayakawa Hideaki.
Really?! Is that true?!
I thought it would let everyone be friends like you said, Father Tenkai!
I, more than anyone, understand how much you wish for peace, Legatus.
But a mere monk cannot deal with the warriors driven by anger
Deal with theeem!
It is unfortunate that they will gang up and
torture you to death, but you can’t avoid it.
N-no waaay!
Yesss.
Why don’t you treat them to some hot pot?
This inexhaustible darkness.
Even if I were to carve death into that knave,
I would not be able to annihilate it.
All that awaits me is inescapable nothingness.
My second death.
Mitsunari.
Flourish that might to your heart’s content!
Let us wrench open the world together!
ARE YOU READY GUYS!?
YEAH!
DON’T SLACK OFF!
STEP ON IT!
YEAH!
ALL RIGHT!
LET’S RIDE ON!
YEAH!
Ishida Mitsunari...
If you’re really the one that’s gonna be waiting
for me right smack dab in the middle...
This time I’m gonna be the one who can’t forgive you!
Um...uh... {timing check}
E-Everybody’s maaad!
Oh no! I’m scared!
What do I do, Father Tenkai!?
Mr. Ieyasu!
It was you, Legatus?
I’m sorry, Mr. Ieyasu! I––
I see. It’s okay, Legatus.
I know you didn’t mean any harm.
So don’t be scared.
Watch over the hot pot and serve it to everyone.
O-Okay!
I am Tokugawa leyasu.
I am grateful that you responded to my appeal and gathered here today.
Thank you!
Everyone gathered here witnessed the dreadfulness of the two
great powers, the Oda and the Toyotomi, with their own eyes.
And it should have been carved deeply into your flesh and
bones that military might severs the bonds between people.
Ieyasu... I see...
Only those that show their might rise in the world and survive.
That is the nature of the Warring States.
But, with that attitude, conflict will never end!
{you know, I’m starting to notice how similar the language about lol
peace in Basara is really close to the language used in the
00 movie, only somehow Basara is less stupid about it}
We have twice seen the fall of those that rely on might alone.
I don’t believe there are any here who
brandish might, wishing for ruin! {lol wrong}
I am Maeda Keiji of Kaga!
Do you know why you are so physically strong, my brothers?
It’s so you can protect those you love.
The constant threat that your hometowns, where you were born and
raised, and dear things that money can’t buy, will be snatched away...
Why don’t we put an end to that?
I am Sanada Genjiro Yukimura of the Takeda from Kai.
Heretofore at numerous battlegrounds, I have
fervently crossed blades with many a warrior.
The rival warlords exercised military valor to the
utmost; and their aims after seizing the land...
are the same: peace!
Let us talk together of tomorrow along with Sirs leyasu
and Maeda, who both, rejecting avarice and ambition,
carry the true heart of a warrior!
Sanada––
Let us protect the bonds we have now
and form new bonds with those unknown to us and those who were our enemies in the past!
Come! Let us talk of a peaceful world while sipping Legatus’ hotpot!
Sanada Yukimura! {timing check}
The Tiger of Kai...
WAIT!
Wait a sec.
First, let’s make it clear who’s been attacking people all over the damn place.
Ishida Mitsunari!
It’s the King of Misfortune!
The Minister of Misfortune!
We’ve been waiting for you, Mitsunari.
Come over here and you can talk with everyone too!
Do as you please.
Do not involve me.
True bonds are a miracle.
And the hollow words you spew forth shall never erase the
resentment and hatred that stole away their joy from me!
Mitsunari!
They were in collusion after all!
We’ve been had by Tokugawa and Ishida!
Wha––
Why you...! I was almost fooled!
Wait! You’ve got it all wrong––
Fools... Bonds are nothing more than invisible threads.
Man is a creature that must quarrel.
To deny this truth is the act of fools.
All you pawns that have gathered at Sekigahara!
Cut down all those you know not by sight!
Those under a different flag are your enemies!
He who wins shall be the Conqueror of the Land!
This is the decisive battle!
That is... Mori Motonari!
A mere expendable pawn cannot defeat the likes of me.
I see, as long as I win...
I’ll be the Conqueror of the Land!
I’ll be––
That Mori... He’s much more boisterous than I expected.
Thanks to him, the battlefield’s aswirl.
{I don’t think aswirl is actually a word but I don’t care}
The stage is set, so kill him as you please.
You have my gratitude.
Kill... Advance...
General! Our defenses are at their limit!
Sanada Yukimura!
It seems like you’re facing a crucial decision, but
it’s time for you to prepare for the worst.
What are you gonna do as the commander of an army?
To suppress all the roots of evil here and now at Sekigahara!
The entire strength of the Takeda army shall achieve it!
Counterattack!
Understood!
GOOD!
That dude hasn’t given up.
As long as he’s in it to win it, even if you cut him up once or twice,
he’ll survive and claw his way back up.
That is correct, One Eyed Dragon.
And at that time together...
Sorry bro, but I don’t like pretending to be friends.
I’ll probably go at it with you someday.
And I will face you with this fist when that day comes.
Tokugawa leyasu...!
I won’t let the Land of the Rising Sun become a peopleless land!
I will protect bonds and friendship!
Let’s treat ourselves to a contest of strength!
Kojuro.
Yessir.
You lot!
Date Masamune...
What foolish means did you use to willfully murder Lord Hideyoshi?
Ishida Mitsunari.
What about you? How many innocent dudes have you
dragged into this mess with your grudge against me?
What are you trying to do with this CRAZY uproar?
That is inconsequential!
I shall not forgive those who forget the power of the Toyotomi
Still less those who defile them!
To have only such an uptight d-bag as the head of the clan,
the boss monkey must be turning in his grave!
Recant all profanities you have poured on Lord Hideyoshi!
I shall not accept any other words!
Repent and die!
HELL OR HEAVEN!
X-BOLT!
Be cutttttt!
With this, everyone is gathered together.
Mori’s participation is a godsend.
It seems like even the matchlessly resourceful general has not
noticed that his surprise attack actually lent us a hand.
The King of Misfortune’s feelings of resentment
towards those that have forgotten the Toyotomi
and the pure and unselfish will of Tokugawa leyasu, who
wishes for peace though all of the Land of the Rising Sun...
It seems we can make a delicious hotpot with the finest, unadulterated ingredients.
And the one to stir it up is my puppet––
The Devil’s sister, Lady Oichi.
What’s up with this woman?!
Mitsunari,
You must be overjoyed.
Indeed, this must be the greatest sight for
those eyes that are unforgiving of this world.
W-will this really bring about peace?!
Moriiiiiiii!
You scallywag! Long time no see!
Causin’ a ruckus and trying to profit while others fight.
Up to your same old scurvy tricks, eh?
Mori!
Gleefully disparaging your opponent?
Chosokabe,
although it has not been so long, you have changed.
I’m gonna return the Land of Aki to you for a bit!
Just so I can beat you up right here and take it once again!
Relinquish it if you please.
After you are gone, Shikoku shall become an independent islet of Aki!
Watch your tongue, scallywag!
You have defiled Lord Hideyoshi’s land!
You stole my only light!
Lower your head to Lord Hideyoshi!
Seek, nay! Yearn for absolution!
And then give me your head!
Hey, what are you gonna cry about once you get your REVENGE?
Come at me, bro!
This is your CLIMAX!
What?!
What is the matter, Magistrate?
Pay it no mind.
For one who has died once to know death once
again and to be impressed at its impermanence...
Y-Y-YOUUUU!!
Especially ‘cause you’ve already died once,
how dare you brandish power to survive!
I’m gonna rid you of that grim reaper!
JUMPING JACK BREAKER!
What are you playing at, leyasu?!
Hatred...
and resentment...
can all be healed with bonds, Mitsunari.
I wanted to tell tha––
I told you to know your place!
I never asked you to save me!
Go and die... like a... dog...
Don’t say such a thing, Mitsu...nari...
Behold, Magistrate.
At last the King of Misfortune has been dragged into leyasu’s farce.
Absolutely perfect as an hors d’oeuvres for the banquet!
Let’s all make them bloom...
Look, it’s almost time...
Hey everybody!
Watch out for those black hands!
Don’t touch them!
Damn that Legatus, saying unnecessary things...
Father Tenkai said this was to make everyone’s hearts as one.
He said this was a sacrifice for that.
I thought it was right because a priest said it, but...
I think it’s wrong after all!
You’re too late, Legatus.
I have a recollection of those black hands...
Lady Oichi...
What’s that...
Petals fall
and flowers wither,
The voices call,
"Come now! Come hither! " {timing check this part}
We have awakened and revivedddd!
All bow down and submit to Us!
Rejoiiiiiice!
You foolish, greeeedy
dependeeeents!
The Devil King... of the Sixth Heaven!
Is that... Oda... Nobunaga?!
Been a while since he’s popped up...{ he does that a lot doesn’t he?}
I dunno who plotted this,
but you’ve been used as a setup for this SURPRISE PARTY.
It was all for this, huh...
Men!
Spread the banquet the world over!
What... astonishing power.
Incomparable to his former incarnation.
The sediment absorbed by the Devil Queen’s black hands
has become the Devil King’s new flesh and blood.
This world shall be shrouded in ruin... {timing check}
With this a thousand men are equally
maggots squirming in an abyss of darkness!
De... sist.
I absolutely do not approve of your barbarity!
With this, you’ll destroy the world Lord Hideyoshi ruled!
Lord Hideyoshi’s dreams...
Lord Hanbei’s hopes...
I shall not let the likes of you efface them!
Lowly monkey and his useless tail...
Becoming such a fragile, sentimental soul
and gazing upon the land for all eternity is worthless!
To worship a feral monkey drunk with power is the pinnacle of folly!
{timing: muyou domo}Worthless fooools!
Absolutely...
unforgivable!
Contemptuous Devil King...!
the likes of you...
should return to Lord Hideyoshi’s...
Ashes!
How perspicacious!
Magistrate?!
What are you doing!?
Why are you here!?
Fall back!
Fall back, Magistrate!
Do not endure any more!
Know the futility of your actions!
Magistrate!
Until now... I had not noticed...
when you thought of me...
and when I thought of you...
we felt the same way...{well it’s not like there’s a way to make this less gay}
There is no greater sorrow in the world...
‘Tis laughable...
Magistrate!
I will not permit you to die!
Magistrate!
What a stale expiation.
Magistrate, you were a mere mortal after all...
Mitsunari!
Take a good look at Nobunaga!
Behold how Sir Hideyoshi...
How we were reflected in the eyes of the people in the age of the Toyotomi!
There is... no way...!
Are those Mr. Devil King’s roots?!
You say those countless black hands are the Devil King’s roots?
The Devil King has not yet fully resurrected.
If we cut them now...
Kojuro!
Understood.
May victory smile upon us.
Sasuke!
I entrust the Takeda Army to you!
Roger that but...
Does second in command get a salary?
It’s now or never!
I leave the rest to you, Kojuro!
Milord! I beg your forgiveness!
I, Yukimura, shall become a sacrificial pawn for the land!
Toshi, Matsu, be happy...!
I trust that everyone will be united with bonds after I’m gone...
Wind, Forest, Fire, Shadow; Mountain, Lightning, Water!
Smile lightly, light of the east!
All I do, I do in the name of love! {Embrace and hold, unravelled hair!
掴めや抱け、乱れ髪！snagging the US line because lol}
IT’S ONE-EYES DRAGON!! {date fail}
Ah... Finally we can kill each other...
Lord Nobunaga...
We... cannot perish...
For We have already periiiiished once before!
Ichi.
Don’t run away, Ichi!
Now is the time to pay close attention.
Lord... Nagamasa?
I say, it is Lady Oichi. You were still here?
Thank you very much for fulfilling your role.
I, Tenkai, shall see you off to the abyss!
What?
Oh my...
Um, am I out of alignment?
Yes.
W-wait a minute, please!
Don’t–– Don’t eat me!
I don’t taste good!
But!
Leave that...
for last!
Demonnn... {timing check}
of 50 years! {Derp history}
Lord...Hideyoshi...
For me to fall to ruin here uncouthly,
I beg your permission!
On my blade: censure!
On my scabbard: redemption!
Mitsu...nari!
Not even a tickle! {癪にも触れぬわぁぁ！！lol does that sound too silly?}
Now is the time to atone, Ichi.
Only you can do it.
Lord... Nagamasa.
Brother...
Lady...
Oichi...
The Devil King’s... sister...
Let’s go to sleep.
The fifth heaven?!{化楽?! The name for the 5th heaven :|...
yeah we’re fucked on this unless we Dante’s Inferno it up}
You fool!
Ichi will always be with you...
These arms... are... comfortable...
It cannot be hel– {是非、も— zehi mo nashi, which is old timey
for shikata ga nai but idk what to do... HAD NO CHOICE}
Hey everybody!
Tadakatsu!
Heeey!
Do not forget your crime of stealing away Lord Hideyoshi’s future...
If you prove yourself to be a unsightly little snake,
I shall execute you on the spot.
Refusal is not an option.
Bring it.
You’d be doubling my fun.
You are Maeda Keiji?
Yeah.
I have a favor to ask...
What is it? I’ll do what I can to help.
Someday, I would like you to tell me stories
about the Lord Hideyoshi I did not know.
Sure. Anytime, no problem.
Sir leyasu.
What is it, Sanada?
I thought I relinquished the name of the Tiger when my
determination on this occasion proved insufficient.
Mayhaps the one truly worthy of succeeding the
spirit of the Tiger in posterity, is you, Sire.
I have always revered Sir Shingen as my mentor in spirit.
And I revere him as such still.
But you are different.
Your bonds with Sir Shingen are surely thicker and hotter than blood.{gross}
Complete and honest devotion, convey that to the next Tiger.
Understood!{er more military old time}
Mitsunari.
I hope to someday rule over the country with you with the power of bonds.
To succeed the wishes of someone you love dearly...
is also and important bond.
I shan’t collude with you.
That’s what I thought you’d say.
So how about this:
Why don’t we settle this with force?
Fine.
Let’s treat ourselves to our long-awaited PARTY, Sanada Yukimura.
I shall take that challenge!
GOOD LUCK.
Farewell.
Come on, everybody!
Let’s have one last genuinely big fight!
Let’s decide the winners and losers with no hard feelings!
You’re pretty sullen, Mori!
Fool... My ingenuity and military prowess are not inferior to yours in the slightest.
Don’t hold it in!
It’s written all over your face you want to have a load taken off,
so I’ll settle things with you!
It should be the fond ambition of a pirate to become one with the ocean.
I shall make that anchor of yours your gravestone at the bottom of the sea!
The battles of the rival warlords continued on without end.
Lord Hideyoshi, Lord Hanbei,
I beg your permission to commit this act of insolence here and now!
Your teachings shall be in this heart of mine for the rest of my life!
Will those in control of the battlefield become
the supreme rulers of the Warring States,
or will they be unable to end the turbulent times
even with the passing of the Battle of Sekigahara?
Let’s form a bond, Mitsunari!{gayyyy}
I feel I can build a stronger bond with you than anyone else!
With you, you who risks your life in pure
devotion to someone, I know I definitely can!
Only the bonds and the burning spirits of these warriors know the answer.
One Eyed Dragon: Date Masamune!
Let us fulfill our ultimate oath here and now!
BE SATISFIED.
Don’t let me get a GOAL IN so easily, Sanada Yukimura!
{I really can’t believe he said that}
The Supreme Spears of Heaven!
Sanada Yukimura, has arrived!
The Head of the Oshu Gang, Date Masamune, I guess I’m here. {lol no really}
The cool and the wild befit this bewitching moonlit night
Though drinking in refinement is not a bad match either
With a snap of the fingers, light the signal fire or nothing will begin
Driven into a corner, cut to pieces, has it already come to this?
Living the life of the naked sword means even
in the darkness shadows fall behind my back
Falling forward as I am tempted to fall back
”Don’t be stingy, show me tomorrow!”
Party on! Burning soul! Priceless!
The party’s fire will never burn out
Let's dance! Warriors!
Let’s be honest, it’s the end of times
Isn’t being super flashy in good taste now? Pile it on!
The only way out of this decisive battle is victory
So keep on partying!
I am resolved, but every last one of them is too desperate
Gotta save room for desert so that even fate is moved
The brevity and the deep color of the fading, red twilight layers onto my body
Looking from the back of a runaway horse, if its
tail is facing east, which way is tomorrow?
Party on! Burning blood! Deep in a dream!
Drunk on waking up, I can't stop now!
Let's dance! Warriors! Go and do it right now!
Watching from on high would be a mistake!
Seize the searing, shooting star of this decisive moment
Living the life of the naked sword, show me the age beyond!
Party on! Burning soul! Priceless!
The party’s fire will never burn out
Let's dance! Warriors!
Let’s be honest, it’s the end of times
Isn’t being super flashy in good taste now? Pile it on!
Party on! Burning blood! Deep in a dream!
Drunk on waking up, I can't stop now!
One last round! Don't be stingy now!
Embrace the age with elegance because
The only way out of this decisive battle is victory
So keep on partying!
