"Come on!" "Samurai-sama, please wait!" "Young lady..." "I can't keep myself from wanting to cut this man down." "Do not neglect your sword's care." "I've sharpened it for you." "Killing a man truly makes you a samurai." "The fact that I'm risking my life for people like this is laughable enough to make me cry." "But we samurai are going to carry through!" "We're going to cut down every last one of those bandits!" "That makes all seven of us." "Being able to understand each other, and to share with each other, are both as short-lived as a bubble on the water." "Obscured by the sands of time, unable to hold on," "I gave up, until I saw you again, asking" ""How much pain have you been carrying, all alone?" "And how much loneliness is hidden behind your eyes when you smile?"" "Embrace this miracle of an encounter now," "By gazing upon each other, we can become stronger." "And if this isn't what you call love, then what is it you call love now?" "Begging your pardon..." "Oh, my, Samurai-sama." "You've come through all of this thick fog to see me." "Well, please, come on in." "No, here will be fine." "Those belong to Kirara." "She appears to be quite well read." "She gets them delivered by rapidturtle, or by peddlers, and such." "She has always liked books." "Perhaps that is why she is always casting her eyes outside the village." "Grandmother, I have returned." "Ooh, Katsu-noji!" "Come now, Komachi, call him Katsushiro-sama." "Is something the matter, Kanbe-sama?" "There's a favor I'd like to ask of you." "A favor?" "Mm-hmm." "Before long, the bandits will be coming." "When that happens, I'd like for the women and children to hide in here." "If that makes you uneasy, I can post Katsushiro here to protect you." "No, do not worry about that." "Right, Grandmother?" "Mm-hmm." "We'll be all right." "Katsushiro-sama, you may fight as hard as you wish." "Kirara-dono, may I have a moment?" "Katsushiro-sama?" "Mm-hmm." "Not being able to cut anyone down without the just cause of defending others," "I must say that he is still too emotionally naive." "I..." "I will not let Katsushiro-sama go through these painful experiences alone." "I am the one who set Katsushiro-sama on this carnal path." "If he is to become stained with blood, then I will cleanse him of that blood." "I am the one who was responsible for bringing everyone here." "I see." "Then there is nothing for me to say." "May your battle be victorious." "This is disturbing, huh?" "Things are becoming more complicated." "Okara-chan, what's becoming more complicated?" "That's a secret between us young ladies." "Nothing to do..." "K" " Kikuchiyo-sama!" "You don't need to call me sama." "What's with the katana?" "I found it." "What are you doing?" "I wanna get so I'm able to use a katana." "At first, it strained my lower back, but it's okay now." "I'm gonna get so I can cut what I'm aimin' for." "Where did you buy that mechanical body of yours?" "You want to become a mechanical samurai?" "Mm-hmm." "What would you do if you did?" "I'd kill the bandits!" "If I'm gonna fight bandits, then becomin' a machine is the best thing to do!" "So please, tell me where you got your body!" "Don't do it." "Why not?" "Once you get your wife back, it would be a shame not to hold her with your own flesh." "Hold up your sword." "I'll teach you how to use a katana." "Kikuchiyo has completely forgotten about his task as a watchman." "Shichi-san..." "For now, let's leave them alone for a little while." "But..." "I will take his place as watchman." "I missed again." "I've gotten the hang of it!" "We're gonna trounce those bandits!" "Yup!" "Although, you ain't improved one bit." "It's my bow!" "There's somethin' wrong with my bow!" "You're just a klutz." "What was that, you good-for-nothin'?" "!" "Let's do it again!" "Samurai-sama...?" "They're coming!" "It's quiet..." "Too quiet." "It's almost as though..." "What is it?" "Today's program has just gotten started." "Looks like they're roughly two and a half ri away." "They're here, are they?" "Okay, it's almost time!" "Deploy for battle!" "Women and children, go to the Mikumari's house at once!" "Everyone else, do as we've planned!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "Pull!" "They're here!" "They're here!" "They're here!" "They're finally here!" "It's the bandits!" "How come there are so many of them?" "There's more'n I thought there'd be." "Hey!" "What're we up against?" "!" "We sure have gone an' gotten the bandits angry at us!" "Manzo!" "It's no use sayin' that at this point!" "Yeah, but even if we do got seven samurai-sama, there's no way we can win against that many bandits!" "If we're gonna apologize, now's the time!" "Even if we do apologize after comin' this far, they ain't gonna forgive us!" "At this point, it's all or nothin'!" "There's more than we planned for, but there's no backing out now." "That's some awesome stuff comin'." "Halt!" "Secure the footings!" "Nice work!" "We managed somehow to finish it on time." "Still, there are an awful lot of them, huh?" "Feeling apprehensive?" "Don't be ridiculous!" "This is more like it!" "By the way, where is Kikuchiyo?" "I'm right here!" "Sorry to keep you waiting." "Draw the bow." "Rikichi!" "You fire it." "M- me?" "Mm-hmm." "You're going to strike back at them." "It's okay." "You just have to knock the catch out." "Everyone take your stations!" "Man your stations!" "Move it!" "Move it!" "Move it!" "Kikuchiyo-sama coming through!" "Draw the bow!" "Draw the bow!" "Draw the bow!" "M- my house!" "My house!" "Take it easy!" "Take it easy, Manzo!" "There's nothin' you can do about it now!" "Cease drawing!" "Cease drawing!" "Firing preparations complete!" "Come and get it!" "This is no threat!" "Throw down your weapons and come across the bridge one at a time!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "All right!" "Go get 'em!" "We got them!" "Take that!" "Serves you right!" "Wow!" "They did it!" "Awesome!" "You two!" "Come get inside the house, now!" "But, look..." "The war..." "The war has started." "Look at that!" "T- they're comin'!" "Don't panic!" "Man your stations, and ready your bows!" "They're here!" "They're here!" "They're here!" "They're here!" "Yahoo!" ""KannaBridge"" "Fire!" "Don't let up your attack!" "Fire!" "We did it!" "Take that!" "They may be bandits, but after taking arrows and falling down into there, they won't be giving us any more trouble." "The samurai sure are fearsome." "They didn't even blanch at doin' all that killing'." "We did it!" "Hey!" "Bring some rope!" "Grandfather!" "Grandfather!" "Are the bandits dead?" "Yeah, dead!" "They're dead!" "Dead by the arrows we shot at them!" "Did they writhe in pain?" "Yeah, they writhed, all right!" "Good." "Even so, I don't think the bandits're gonna stop at just this!" "What'll we do when that happens?" "Things went well this time, but now that we got the bandits mad, what's gonna happen to us?" "Mosuke..." "You're sure we ain't doin' something terrible here, ain'tcha?" "Mosuke!" "You don't wanna die, right?" "Uh-huh!" "Uh-huh!" "Then, fight!" "What kind of setup is this?" "!" "If we go straight at them, we'll run into that again!" "The peasants have also been training with the bow." "This is a hell of a declaration of war." "Even I was scared half to death." "The samurai, huh...?" "Crush them!" "Behind us..." "Sister?" "The flow of the mists is being disturbed." "They're coming again." "It's okay, it's okay." "Nunky is here, so it'll be okay." "C" " Chief, what is this?" "W- we're very sorry to have troubled you!" "Peasants, what are you trying to pull?" "W- we've finally opened our eyes." "We realize that we done somethin' we shouldn'a done when we killed those bandits." "What are you trying to say?" "We're farmers." "We're lowly farmers, so we hired the samurai to try to defeat you bandits." "But now we've gotten scared." "Us farmers are best at bein' farmers." "For us to be fightin' a war is outrageous." "We know that you bandits're angry, and that's why you've come here." "You even said that if we fell in league with the samurai, that you'd kill all of us." "But we've had a change of heart." "We'll give you bandits anything' you want." "As a token of our apology, you can have all this rice here." "So please, spare us!" "We beg you!" "Of course we're going to take your rice." "But there's one other thing that we want." "Where are the samurai?" "!" "As you can see, we're holdin' them." "The old man merely gazed off into the distance from the hideaway in which he lived." "The baby cries, seeking only for the warmth of his mother." "We are born paying the price for someone's punishment, for someone's sins, but there is no such thing as a future without salvation, and the present slips quietly into the past." "We string together nothing but hollow ideas, and tell nothing but hollow lies." "And as the rain falls down upon us, something appears and then fades away." "It's Okara." "We've finally had a clash with the bandits." "There was this huge bow and arrow that we all made together." "That thing ran one of the bandits right through, which got me all fired up." "Everyone came around, and suddenly an army was formed." "Impressive work, Kanbe." "He might be pretty good at managing people." "So then, I wonder why he's been in so many losing battles up to now." "I bet this strategy of his has got some holes in it somewhere." "Speaking of Kanbe, there's Komachi's sister, Kirara." "Her sister is some kind of enchantress." "I think that in the end, it was her sister that got the samurai to come to the village, not the rice." "The bandits are piping mad now." "I wonder if I'll be able to safely deliver this bonus feature next time."
