"The forces of Takeda and Uesugi engaged Oda's army at Nagashino." "the forces of Date tried to breach Shitaraga Plains." "and the two sides clashed." "Who are you and where are you from?" "I will not allow you to take a step further!" "Oda launched an operation to eliminate them." "the forces of Takeda and Uesugi suffered heavy losses. forcing him to stay at the Takeda manor in Kai to recuperate."

"We can't leave Echigo unguarded for long." "We'll leave our injured here with them for now." "I wasn't referring to that." "Is it all right that you didn't speak with Shingen Takeda?" "and yet..." "Right now... in preparation for the final battle with Oda." "Meeting the Tiger of Kai amicably and having a good chat with him comes after the world has been freed from the threat of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven." "I see." "K-Kenshin-sama..." "My beautiful blade." "Your work at Nagashino was magnificent." "I-I'm unworthy of those words..." "I hope that you'll continue to dance beside me." "It's you?" "You actually managed to survive." "seeing how you were unharmed by that scuffle." "Who do you think I am?" "Let's... see..." "You received an order to sneak into the manor of a warrior to assassinate him. and ended up becoming a fugitive ninja?" "Was that right?" "what business do you have with me?" "isn't it? enjoy a moonlit night together..." "I'm going back." "Wait!" "That was a joke!" "so can't you go along with the joke sometimes?" "I'm here to give you a little advice." "Advice?" "It's more of a message from my Lord." "Don't take a step away from the War God." "I wouldn't" "My Lord meant at all times." "Don't leave him even if he orders you to scout for him." "Always stay beside him." "What are you saying?" "I'll do anything as long as Kenshin-sama orders" "Think about it. and the One-Eyed Dragon of Oushuu has the Right Eye of the Dragon with him." "no?" "they won't just sit and wait for us to act." "My master won't be eliminated that easily." "once you face him- you know." "Why must I listen to an order from the Tiger of Kai? but it seems that my Lord regards you highly." "That's pretty amazing." "My mistake!" "you should remain somewhere- ...safe." "Go correct the misunderstanding!" "I'll investigate what the Demon King is up to with my subordinates and update you." "What's that?" "It seems to be at the western border." "Just stay here." "Protect your master." "It's too early to be an attack by Oda." "A skirmish between scouts?" "Masamune-sama... was not able to caution you or protect you..." "I always respect your opinion... towards your death." "Katakura-dono." "I heard strange noises from the west." "The ninja squadron under my command is currently on the way to investigate it." "I see." "I understand how you feel." "If my Lord were to be injured right in front of me..." "The enemy had countless firearms." "I do not think you are to blame for Date-dono's injuries." "Date-dono was shot by the arquebuses in our place." "If Oda's rifle troops had instead been dispatched to support the Tokugawa forces- so anything could have happened." "It's just how battles go." "However..." "That Akechi bastard..." "He seemed to treat battle as a game." "let us start the banquet! I don't see the point in him slaughtering his ally Azai and turning on Tokugawa at this time." "That's indeed true..." "That bastard might actually be defying the Demon King although he appears to be his vassal." "Mitsuhide..." "Akechi..." "Master Sanada!" "Sasuke?" "Who is he?" "Bunshichi!" "Katakura... sama... what happened?" "!" "Katakura-sama..." "Yoshinao and the others are..." "Even though you're volunteering to take over our guard duty... it's just thanks for the trouble we caused." "Don't be so stiff." "We just wanna help out." "We brought supplies as well." "It's rice balls made of Oushuu rice." "B-But it's our duty to remain here..." "Huh?" "Let us take over already!" "You wanna cry?" "!" "What was that noise just now?" "Probably just wild dogs howling?" "we found this fellow lying there alone." "What about the others?" "They seem to have been taken away." "This was left there." "Katakura-dono!" "They want the Shieldless Armour of Takeda and the Six Swords of Date in exchange for the captives." "the deadline is tomorrow." "Hisahide Danjou Matsunaga... he hasn't tried to rally an army to conquer the land." "diligently collecting antiques... what is the Shieldless Armour?" "It is the heirloom of the Takeda Clan. to obtain the consensus of the Takeda Clan." "The vows we swear there are never broken." "That armour bonds us and supports our unwavering will." "It is literally a treasure." "no matter what weapon is used. they say you should lay him down in the presence of the Armour." "That is why we put Date-dono there." "That's the Armour?" "Hisahide Matsunaga..." "He intends to decorate the alcoves of his hermitage with the Swords of Date and the Armour of Takeda?" "I shall inform my Lord about this." "No need for that." "Why?" "This is our mistake." "I can't cause further trouble to the Takeda Clan." "there's no way we can let you sacrifice your heirloom armour." "Ka..." "Katakura-sama..." "Don't let Masamune-sama hear about this." "Take it that they died at Nagashino." "Get it?" "But..." "Katakura-dono!" "that's the correct decision." "Kojuurou?" "Captain!" "Date-dono!" "where's my horse?" "Masamune-sama!" "Not to worry." "right?" "I'll go and save them." "Where's that Matsunaga bastard?" "That will not do!" "The Date army can't have anyone missing." "You see?" "I cannot allow you to go!" "Ka..." "Katakura-sama... you intend to point your sword at me?" "Your retainers are important." "Masamune-sama." "Then come with me." "Protect my back like always!" "Katakura-dono!" "always charging forward no matter the situation." "protect your back." "but... even if I must lose this life!" "huh." "I won't be holding back..." "Kojuurou!" "Katakura-dono is only attacking from Date-dono's right..." "That master's sure thought this out." "I like it." "Kojuurou..." "You..." "Ca..." "Ca..." "Captain!" "Captain!" "Captain!" "that wasn't fair!" "The Captain is injured..." "Why did you...?" "Why" "Masamune-sama." "will definitely rescue them." "Katakura-dono... let me borrow these." "he's going alone." "Hisahide Matsunaga!" "Another one gone..." "The world will decay if you leave it alone." "Like a corpse left in an imperial mortuary." "Fire will eventually go out." "Trees burnt down will never return." "The construction of the world... is unfathomable." "When will Man and matter fall to dust?" "the more I appreciate and worry about them." "I generally know what happened." "Yukimura." "Sir!" "What is it you want me to do?" "I..." "I..." "Master!" "Why don't you just try saying it?" "Then I'll ask you instead." "Why did you let the Right Eye of the Dragon go alone?" "Sir! our precious heirloom that never leaves our gates." "I felt we absolutely could not hand it over to someone despicable enough to take people hostage..." "Kojuurou Katakura-dono said that he did not want to trouble Takeda any further..." "I... respected how he felt... the world is in a dangerous state now." "Followers of the Demon King might infiltrate Kai at any time." "They might possibly even be after my Lord's life." "I do not think I can leave Kai at this time..." "God..." "You bloody idiot!" "Yukimura." "why didn't you ask me to offer the Shieldless Armour?" "not asking would've been fine." "Why didn't you simply take the Armour and depart with the Dragon's Right Eye without saying a word?" "My Lord..." "Matsunaga didn't request only the One-Eyed Dragon's swords. the one called the Villain of the Warring States definitely won't release them!" "The Date Clan..." "They may eventually be our rival in the battle for the land." "they are guests in my care." "Taking care of people doesn't just mean giving them lodging and food!" "M-My Lord!" "I know how Date-dono and Katakura-dono feel." "I just cannot agree with handing the Armour over!" "Not that I would make that kind of mistake." "I saw something of my Lord in Katakura-dono just now..." "The fiery heart you have inspired in me..." "I saw the same thing within Katakura-dono!" "Then all the more reason for you to bring the Shieldless Armour to him!" "My Lord!" "Make sure you save the Date hostages and bring the Armour back!" "Sir!" "I will put my soul into it!" "Yukimura!" "My Lord!" "Yukimura!" "My Honoured Lord!" "Yukimura!" "My Most Honoured Lord!" "Yukimura!" "My Most Honoured and Awesome Lord!" "Well then..." "He's here?" "Yeah." "then." "another appears." "two more appear." "Three persons down and it's the end." "Men call us the Death God Squadron of Matsunaga..." "The Miyoshi Triumvirate." "I will assist you!" "Katakura-dono!" "Hand over the ransom!" "We'll deliver the hostages to you after." "Whether they return dead or alive is up to luck." "I'll let you sleep." "Come." "Katakura-dono!" "Yukimura Sanada is coming!"
