"The youthful Nobunaga has emerged victorious from his battle to the death with Shingen." "Shingen tried to entrust the future of the East and his Regalia to Nobunaga intervened." "the two Regalia have been divided." "The Regalia of fire has gone to Nobunaga and the Regalia of wind is with Caesar." "Oda Nobunaga is a coward!" "I never thought Nobunaga would win." "seriously." "too." "right?" "And as a bonus..." "What?" "You'll get that princess." "Caesar-sama." "What is it?" "A message for Uesugi Kenshin-dono was found in our lord's belongings." "We consulted amongst ourselves" "Caesar-sama." "We beg of you to lend us your aid to avenge our lord's death." "You not only got Takeda's castle but also his advisors' loyalty." "Caesar." "I have Takeda in my grasp." "Uesugi may be next..." "What?" "Lord Shingen lost his life to Nobunaga of Oda?" "Is this true?" "my lord." "Ever since Himiko of Yamatai bestowed a Regalia upon Nobunaga it seems he has been gaining momentum." "I was to be the one to defeat that giant..." "Yet Nobunaga managed the deed?" "This is not the only matter of concern." "Speak." "Even prior to Lord Shingen's passing" "Takeda's forces had forged a secret alliance with a Westerner named Julius Caesar." "Now that Lord Shingen is no more they seem to have formed a coalition." "Julius Caesar..." "Then you mean to say that Takeda was not the one responsible for Nobukatsu-sama's death?" "Lord Shingen and I man to man." "I know this with certainty because I have fought him." "He was a warrior who would never lie." "Then who was it?" "Most likely it was an outsider who sought to take advantage of the turmoil over the succession so that we could be crushed." "but outward." "the enemy will take advantage of our strife." "My betrothed is correct." "Himiko-sama." "are you recovered?" "shouldn't you stay in bed?" "The grief of losing Nobuhide-sama and Nobukatsu-sama will never leave my heart." "But there is no point in dwelling on what is past." "What the Oda clan should do now is move forward." "That is what my crystal says." "If we must be concerned who is in Takeda's castle." "I cannot fathom that one's true intentions." "Lord Shingen entrusted the Regalia to me so that I might gain dominion." "I must regain the Regalia of wind from Caesar no matter what the cost." "Use the resources of Yamatai to grant your heart's desire." "I will." "this requires more thought." "He is a foe who cannot be defeated by force alone." "you shouldn't push yourself." "Shouldn't you be resting?" "Don't worry about me." "What matters is..." "Do not worry." "Leave the war to me." "Julius Caesar..." "Da Vinci-dono." "What manner of man is Julius Caesar?" "King Arthur has who have sworn fealty to him." "Caesar is one of them." "What is his goal?" "too." "He came outta nowhere and pulled all kinds of crap." "courage and benevolence not exist on the Star of the West?" "The West has its own concept of chivalry." "Oh?" "underhanded principles." "I believe Caesar came to this planet in order to investigate it." "Investigate what?" "The Regalia?" "Indeed." "The ley lines of this planet are far more turbulent than those of the Star of the West." "He is here to study the potential of the" "Regalia that harness the ley lines' power." "he is to investigate those who can wield the Regalia..." "So that is his purpose?" "to find those who can master the Regalia." "as well." "Tell me more." "I have always believed that Giant War Armor must be developed as a vessel for activating Regalia from days of yore." "But my true passion is to analyze the various powers manifested by the Regalia and the phenomena they cause." "Their powers are said to draw on the quantum fields of this star's ley lines." "Depending on the Regalia's own characteristics their powers manifest unique qualities and gravity." "and decisions interact with the quanta." "They can strengthen or weaken the Regalia's power and even alter their very nature." "I have reached a certain conclusion after studying various experiments and battles." "There is a strong correlation between the Regalia's power and the willpower of the one who wields it." "the stronger its wielder the more powerful his Regalia?" "You must have experienced that for yourself no?" "Himiko-sama's Regalia and Nobunaga's increased potential... you said it is not Caesar but King Arthur who reigns on the Star of the West?" "I did." "Does he share your beliefs about the Regalia?" "I have not yet been permitted to have an audience with King Arthur so this is only speculation but I believe His Majesty would agree with me." "His decision to send Caesar here right as the ley lines of the West is evidence enough. as well?" "that is not for me to say." "If I can say one thing:" "control the world." "It's possible that King Arthur seeks to control the Eastern ley lines himself through the Regalia and their users." "So behind Caesar are the" "Brothers of the Round Table in the West and King Arthur." "All the more reason to retrieve the Regalia Shingen wished me to have from Caesar." "may I have a moment?" "So is this..." "You're going to storm the Takeda castle?" "Yeah." "But the combined forces of Caesar and Takeda will put us at a disadvantage." "Good point." "So what is the best strategy?" "You're asking me?" "you know." "I'm sorry about that." "I'll stop." "I know!" "we should bluff!" "How about we build a castle right in front of the Takeda forces overnight?" "we wouldn't be struggling." "it is not such an impossible feat." "All right!" "you'll direct this operation." "Got it." "I'm counting on you." "You can depend on me!" "What's the matter?" "Why are you spacing out?" "it's nothing..." "Nobu-sama!" "What does it mean?" "The Savior-King..." "Or Nobunaga... will die?" "What am I afraid of?" "Nobunaga!" "What?" "Are you really going to fight Caesar?" "Why bring this up now?" "But..." "It is inevitable." "calm in the blue skies!" "In Venus's name your new master and grant me power!" "it's not responding." "I can't believe Caesar isn't getting his way." "The Regalia of wind isn't half bad!" "when..." "I hereby release you from our bond of blood." "Serve Oda Nobunaga henceforth." "in addition to the Regalia of fire the Regalia of wind has also bonded with Nobunaga." "I shall defeat Nobunaga and nullify the existing bond." "I will obtain all of his Regalia and the beautiful princess." "Should we report to King Arthur about this?" "should we?" "Maybe we should." "a prophecy." "Since we're facing a decisive battle between Nobunaga and Caesar" "I'm worried about what it could mean." "Prophecies do not necessarily show you the future as it must be." "depending on your approach?" "One could be interpret it as the heavens showing you through that vision." "But what can I do?" "Upright Ace of Wands." "This signifies a departure on a journey toward dreams and ideals to advance full of enthusiasm." "and a staff that will help you." "It can also become a torch in the dark of night to light your way." "what weighs upon you?" "What?" "You look quite troubled... with a wolf closing in behind you." "What?" "Whose tiger?" "It is an idiom we use on this star." "another follows." "It is the perfect phrase to express the current state of the Oda clan." "I still have faith that my brother will get us through this predicament." "as well." "She has inner strength." "as for me..." "That's..." "When—?" "!" "A castle overnight?" "!" "Impossible!" "Caesar-sama!" "It's Oda's forces!" "So they have come." "The gauntlet has been thrown!" "advance!" "confirmed." "Quo Vadis." "The Fool has been activated." "After launch we will begin jamming the ley lines in this sector." "Understood!" "Let's do this for Himiko-sama!" "Roger!" "Let's go!" "Caesar!" "A diversion..." "Leave The Fool to me!" "siege the castle!" "Nobunaga!" "They're coming our way!" "What?" "What is that?" "The castle's—?" "They totally fell for it." "The "One-Night Castle" plan has succeeded." "The night's banquet will finally begin." "the rest is up to you." "You used trickery!" "Nobunaga!" "Can you keep up?" "!" "He's fast!" "Take this!" "I will not be defeated!" "What?" "!" "A wing-horse?" "!" "All right!" "Go!" "You're not getting away!" "Nobu-sama!" "A new Regalia power?" "With the power of lightning and his new power of fire the two Regalia have created a completely new power." "Go!" "Weak!" "Nobunaga!" "This is the end!" "Nobunaga!" "Luck in battle is no ordinary luck." "It also signifies how the experience of being in many battles can lead to victory." "my experience of having endured countless battles the true luck of battle." "Die." "Stop!" "I will protect him with my own life!" "Do not interfere." "Ranmaru!" "Are you an idiot?" "!" "The power of wind shall be mine!" "May the heavens protect him!" "What?" "!" "That... is the Regalia of absolute purity!" "The devotion of a maiden to Nobunaga has given rise to a new power!" "Regalia!" "How profound!" "What will you show me next?" "Ranmaru!" "That girl?" "If I recall..." "You escaped death." "But this is the end!" "What?" "!" "Impossible!" "I accept Shingen's wind!" "I am Oda Nobunaga!" "Regalia of wind" "I will be your new master in Lord Shingen's stead!" "Let your rapidity be that of the wind!" "Oda Nobunaga!" "This is a huge victory!" "It's thanks to your idea." "Call me the wise general from now on." "and wind." "Monkey." "Don't call me Monkey!" "The Regalia and that man have far surpassed my expectations and are resonating with the world." "The banquet's guests are beginning to assemble." "indeed." "The torch that lights the darkness... how far will you go?" "Nobunaga." "will protect you with my life!" "It was inevitable." "my power... and always protect him!" "Next time:" "The Moon." "A light pierces the darkness."
