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 Nobunagas stronghold
in Azuchi together
despite formally being
enemies themselves.
Well turn Azuchi Castle
into the Devil Kings grave!
{need to decide how to
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: Masamunes long-time confidant
and loyal retainer, Katakura Kojuro.
From Kai: the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen;
And Shingen and Yukimuras dependable
ninja, Sarutobi Sasuke.
{what, Shingen totally
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 Nobunagas 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
Shingens 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, Masamunes
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 Hideyoshis 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 others eyes
They dont 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 dont 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-Its a single man!
Hmph. Just when I thought it was a whole
army, its just a skinny little boy.
Thats much more convenient.

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.
Milord...!
Yukimura, observe well.
Some day, this time shall come for you.
Yessir!
We must part, my beautiful blade...
Farewell, Kenshin...!
Lord Shingen!
Thats-!
Sir Tokugawa... Ieyasu!?
You mustnt sever your bonds!
Lord Shingen!
The Light of the East...
Its you, Takechiyo.
It has been too long.
Youve 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 dialogues gonna
be styled but I think this should
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 morehes gotta
be talking about the Mori army and not
Mori himself since he doesnt -dono the
name, unless Moris the one person
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
Youre too naive, Yukimura.
A thousand pardons, however...
Lord leyasus 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!
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!
Thats...
good!
Yessir!
Thats... GOOD!
YUUUKIMURAAAAA!

Now thats a true warrior!
This is not a decision born
out of youthful impetuosity!
Nay, it is what all men should aspire to!

Now is the time, more than
ever, as you have fallen into

There have been signs of
unrest in various places.
Im 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 Mogamis 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...

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
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
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 youre a native Japanese
Yahoo. co. jp/qa/questiondetail/q1269735747
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 mustnt 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?
Im 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 whos 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 havent the faintest
idea as to why you feel
responsible for Ishidas
subsequent deeds.
Im 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 Hideyoshis
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!
And so did Sir Hideyoshi and Keiji!
Maeda Keiji...
He committed the folly of standing in Lord
Hideyoshis 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 dont 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!
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...
Im so happy...
Wonderful!
Yes!
More! Accumulate more of them! Lady Oichi!
Im 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!
Arent you a priest?
Fret not. I shall hold a memorial
service for them en masse.
Dont 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!
Yoshinao!
Hey, Y-Yoshinao!
Where were you hit?
A crow?
What!?
Hey, long time no see.
Mr. Keiji!
Whats up?
Just wanted to see the One Eyed Dragon.
Hows he been?
The Boss said he was gonna settle
things with Ishida Mitsunari.
Were 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...
Ive heard the rumors, but leyasu
wouldnt do such a thing
Hey.
Whats 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, thats...
for the Boss.
You cant!
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.
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 others 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!
Its 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, youd 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 Im 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 ones 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!
Just where do you think youre 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, thats so you to be driven
by righteous indignation.
Word on the street is
that hes pretty tough.
Be careful, bro.
Nay, that is not
Im gonna go kick around Ishida Mitsunari.
I was gonna come back
around to get leyasu too,
but if youre going Ill
leave him to you, bro.
Sir Masamune
Yo, I heard youve succeeded the Old Tiger?
Indeed.
Good job.
When were done running errands,
lets 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 doesnt change the fact
that were 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 couldnt keep it in
A match with that dude
doesnt make me COOL or HOT.
Somebody wins and somebody dies.
Its 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 lands in trouble?!
Sorry dude, but its got
nothin to do with you.
Outta my way!
I get it, youre rude.
But I wont back down!
Do not interfere!
Oops!
Thats it!
I know how you feel, but
lets stop here, you two.
You, Sir, are...
Im Maeda Keiji.
This is Yumekichi.
Youre 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 dont you let me
hold on to this match for you?
Yeah. As far as Im concerned,
youre 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.
Ill find out what the hells going on and
whos up to what, once I get to Sekigahara.
Yeah, probably.
Both leyasu and Chosokabe
Motochika, whos running around
western Japan now, should be
rushing there themselves.
Its 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...
Whats 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 wasnt easy to get the old smithy to
sign off on it so its 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!
Lord Masamune.
Lord Masamunes life, is the
life of everyone in Oshu.
HM, not bad.
COOL ACCESSORY, bros.
Ill 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
Ieyasus 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 cant avoid it.
N-no waaay!
Yesss.
Why dont 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 hearts content!
Let us wrench open the world together!
ARE YOU READY GUYS!?
YEAH!
DONT SLACK OFF!
STEP ON IT!
YEAH!
ALL RIGHT!
LETS RIDE ON!
YEAH!
Ishida Mitsunari...
If youre really the one
thats gonna be waiting
for me right smack
dab in the middle...
gonna be the
!
E-Everybodys maaad!
Oh no! Im scared!
What do I do, Father Tenkai!?
Mr. Ieyasu!
It was you, Legatus?
Im sorry, Mr. Ieyasu! I
I see. Its okay, Legatus.
I know you didnt mean any harm.
So dont 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, Im starting to notice
how similar the language about lol
peace in Basara is really close
to the language used in the
We have twice seen the fall of
those that rely on might alone.
I dont believe there
are any here who
brandish might, wishing for ruin!
I am Maeda Keiji of Kaga!
Do you know why you are so
physically strong, my brothers?
Its so you can protect those you love.
The constant threat that your
hometowns, where you were born and
raised, and dear things that money
cant buy, will be snatched away...
Why dont 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!
The Tiger of Kai...
WAIT!
Wait a sec.
First, lets make it clear whos been
attacking people all over the damn place.
Ishida Mitsunari!
Its the King of Misfortune!
The Minister of Misfortune!
Weve 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!
Weve been had by Tokugawa and Ishida!
Wha
Why you...! I was almost fooled!
Wait! Youve 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...
Ill be the Conqueror of the Land!
Ill be
That Mori... Hes much more
boisterous than I expected.
Thanks to him, the
battlefields aswirl.
{I dont think aswirl is actually
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 youre facing
a crucial decision, but
its 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 hasnt given up.
As long as hes in it to win it, even
if you cut him up once or twice,
hell survive and claw his way back up.
That is correct, One Eyed Dragon.
And at that time together...
Sorry bro, but I dont like
pretending to be friends.
Ill probably go at it with you someday.
And I will face you with this
fist when that day comes.
Tokugawa leyasu...!
I wont let the Land of the Rising
Sun become a peopleless land!
I will protect bonds and friendship!
Lets 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.
Moris 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 Misfortunes
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 Devils sister, Lady Oichi.
Whats 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.
Im 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 Hideyoshis 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 youve already died once,
how dare you brandish power to survive!
Im 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...
Dont say such a thing, Mitsu...nari...
Behold, Magistrate.
At last the King of Misfortune has
been dragged into leyasus farce.
Absolutely perfect as an hors
doeuvres for the banquet!
Lets all make them bloom...
Look, its almost time...
Hey everybody!
Watch out for those black hands!
Dont touch them!
Damn that Legatus, saying
unnecessary things...
Father Tenkai said this was to
make everyones hearts as one.
He said this was a sacrifice for that.
I thought it was right because
a priest said it, but...
I think its wrong after all!
Youre too late, Legatus.
I have a recollection
of those black hands...
Lady Oichi...
Whats that...
Petals fall
and flowers wither,
The voices call,
"Come now! Come hither!
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 hes popped up...{
I dunno who plotted this,
but youve 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 Queens black hands
has become the Devil Kings
new flesh and blood.
This world shall be shrouded in ruin...
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, youll destroy the
world Lord Hideyoshi ruled!
Lord Hideyoshis dreams...
Lord Hanbeis 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!
Worthless fooools!
Absolutely...
unforgivable!
Contemptuous Devil King...!
the likes of you...
should return to Lord Hideyoshis...
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 its not
There is no greater sorrow in the world...
Tis laughable...
Magistrate!
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 Kings roots?!
You say those countless black
hands are the Devil Kings 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?
Its 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 Im 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!
snagging the
Ah... Finally we can kill each other...
Lord Nobunaga...
We... cannot perish...
For We have already
periiiiished once before!
Ichi.
Dont 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!
Dont Dont eat me!
I dont taste good!
But!
Leave that...
for last!
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!
Now is the time to atone, Ichi.
Only you can do it.
Lord... Nagamasa.
Brother...
Lady...
Oichi...
The Devil Kings... sister...
Lets go to sleep.

The name for the 5th heaven :|...

Hey everybody!
Tadakatsu!
Heeey!
Do not forget your crime of stealing
away Lord Hideyoshis 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.
Youd be doubling my fun.
You are Maeda Keiji?
Yeah.
I have a favor to ask...
What is it? Ill 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
Complete and honest devotion,
convey that to the next Tiger.
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 shant collude with you.
Thats what I thought youd say.
So how about this:
Why dont we settle this with force?
Fine.
Lets treat ourselves to our
long-awaited PARTY, Sanada Yukimura.
I shall take that challenge!
GOOD LUCK.
Farewell.
Come on, everybody!
Lets have one last genuinely big fight!
Lets decide the winners and
losers with no hard feelings!
Youre pretty sullen, Mori!
Fool... My ingenuity and military prowess
are not inferior to yours in the slightest.
Dont hold it in!
Its written all over your face you
want to have a load taken off,
so Ill 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?
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.
Dont let me get a GOAL IN
so easily, Sanada Yukimura!
{I really cant
The Supreme Spears of Heaven!
Sanada Yukimura, has arrived!
The Head of the Oshu Gang, Date Masamune,
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
Dont be stingy, show me tomorrow!
Party on! Burning soul! Priceless!
The partys fire will never burn out
Let's dance! Warriors!
Lets be honest, its the end of times
Isnt 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 partys fire will never burn out
Let's dance! Warriors!
Lets be honest, its the end of times
Isnt 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!
