"Episode 19" "Episode 20" "Episode 19" "then to finally perish!" "The joy of it!" "The sheer bliss!" "lend me your Regalia." "You are worthy of having your life ended by me" "Destroyer-King!" "The Destroyer-King..." "Nobu... are you..." "I will obtain power!" "Nobu?" "I will go to Yomotsuhirasaka and obtain the ley lines' power." "leave!" "I will return with power that can defeat Alexander!" "and survive!" "my lord!" "Meet the dragons?" "Yomotsuhirasaka is where generations of Yamatai's rulers have gone to face trials." "If one crosses the barrier with that intent it will transform into a dimension where dragons dwell." "It will also be a place where the living may speak with the dead." "Life and death rebirth and destruction where two different dimensions overlap..." "So it may conceal even the secret behind this world's creation." "In order to obtain power one must face the dragons." "Face?" "Wise beyond measure yet horrifying at the same time the dragons are a mirror of one's own strength." "Powerful dragons will appear before the strong." "If the dragons accept my betrothed he can gain power." "And if he cannot?" "He will be lost in the land of the dead and never return to the world of the living." "Are you willing to let Sir Nobunaga go?" "What are you worried about?" "My betrothed will succeed in his task." "I will never let you die." "My betrothed will challenge the West once more." "I cannot let his right-hand man die!" "Mitsu..." "What is it?" "I leave the castle to you." "You will return alive." "Why..." "I will return." "But the forces of the West know no mercy." "please protect the people." "It's as if you will not return." "I will." "But I cannot tell how much time it will take." "May I ask one thing?" "Will you truly use the power you obtain for the people?" "My oath to you and Monkey is not a lie." "yet again." "That is why I need power!" "We cannot let the Westerners trample us into the ground." "Right." "Did you come to see me off?" "I'm coming with you." "And what will that accomplish?" "I don't know." "But I can at least be your shield." "I need no shield to face the dragons." "will face the dragons so I can obtain a stronger shield." "Do as you wish." "Uesugi Kenshin... pick one." "It is a fortune-telling of sorts." "Do you mean to read my mind with these?" "the Wheel of Fortune." "This card is asking you if you are prepared to accept any fate." "Even if that fate may be death." "You may think you are reading my mind by watching my eye movements but my eyes are not so truthful." "The fate known as death..." "I cannot accept it just yet." "As you wish." "Of the three who will return alive?" "Or will none return?" "It appears Sir Nobunaga has entrusted this castle to you in his absence." "Then the rest is up to you." "why do you seek power?" "To unite heaven and earth." "Hm." "and not for yourself?" "seek power only for my own purposes." "I wish to become even more powerful and become the most powerful person in the world." "To influence others is nothing more than conceit." "either." "Very well." "I will face the dragons of Yomotsuhirasaka and obtain power." "I will avenge my humiliation by Alexander." "I will defeat you." "Do as you will." "Will Nobu return with greater power?" "He has said that he will use that power but..." "Ichihime-sama?" "!" "Wh-Where is Caesar-dono?" "Is there nothing more for me to do as one who does not possess a Regalia?" "Are you in darkness?" "Da Vinci-dono." "The Wheel of Fortune?" "You can hear the dragons breathing." "Indeed." "I once wandered here by accident when I was a boy." "When you were a boy?" "You were allowed to pass these gates even before you possessed a Regalia?" "Very well." "Why?" "Is it because I'm from the West?" "wait!" "Nobunaga!" "Nobunaga!" "Nobunaga." "Ranmaru?" "So you've finally come." "Lord Shingen?" "So you have come to obtain power?" "Indeed." "I have come here to obtain unshakable power." "unshakable power." "How absurd." "How so?" "I came here craving power to strengthen myself!" "eh?" "Then what sacrifices are you willing to make?" "you say?" "What would constitute unshakable power?" "I believe it is absolute power that dominates all others." "Then you believe you are capable of containing such a power within yourself?" "But of course." "Know humility!" "Why am I not acceptable?" "Because you fear the prophecies and bear ill will toward your own self." "What?" "Me?" "How despicable!" "How accursed!" "How tainted!" "Jeanne is demon-possessed!" "Demon-possessed!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "The prophecies..." "The source of calamity!" "That's not true!" "Accept the truth!" "They are a pestilence." "No!" "Accept the sin and blame!" "All of it!" "Nobunaga... fool-brat." "Brother?" "Nobukatsu... you're... don't they?" "I'm hungry." "Asahi." "but... what do you wish to do?" "Dad?" "!" "Nobunaga..." "you should not have come here." "Why do you say that?" "What will you do once you obtain power?" "Is it to wage battle with the West?" "That's right." "At this rate the Star of the East will walk to its destruction." "Destruction..." "Who knew the word would pass your lips?" "Do you mean to say that you are prepared to sacrifice your own life in order to protect the people..." "or the Star itself?" "I will not run." "I will not be defeated!" "I couldn't protect you then." "But things have changed!" "I came here to protect the people and to unite heaven and earth!" "Then show me this resolve of yours." "Nobu-sama!" "Monkey?" "!" "Nobu-sama!" "It is not yet time for you to come to the land of the dead!" "Go back." "Monkey!" "No!" "The rest is up to you." "There are times when the wise supersede the strong." "Why do you follow Sir Nobunaga?" "That's not how I see it." "Noh is a splendid art that represents this star's aesthetics regarding the mysterious beauty of the universe." "it expresses grief." "Its morose expression makes it seem as though it's looking at you." "see..." "It suddenly looks as though it's laughing now." "as well." "All is due to light and dark and the curious angles created by their interplay." "All men seek to see the world as they desire it." "I'd like to overcome that." "Should Sir Nobunaga not return you will rule heaven and earth." "If that time comes will you be smiling like this?" "will you feel grief?" "What are you saying?" "What if I possess a Regalia?" "Have you ever had that thought?" "As an observer of all creation" "I am creating a certain painting." "I've titled it The Last Supper." "The Last Supper?" "It depicts the Savior-King and his twelve followers who would influence the fate of the two stars of the entire universe." "Should I include you in this painting?" "is it Arthur whom I should place in its center?" "Or is it Nobunaga?" "is it you?" "Ichihime-sama?" "what is your dream?" "My dream?" "That would be to have Nobunaga unite— that is my brother's dream." "What is your own dream?" "My dream is..." "Ichihime..." "Ichihime-sama!" "Avenge me." "Mitsuhide-sama." "Have you forgotten your desire to restore the Akechi clan?" "Kagome... you..." "I would like you to fulfill that desire." "do not fail us." "Stop." "Please stop." "That would be simple." "You must simply accept the prophecies as your own voice." "Why do you resist?" "Because of the prophecies..." "Because I voiced them" "I called forth disaster." "That is why." "yourself refuse to fully accept your prophecies?" "Stop!" "I don't want to hear anymore!" "I don't want to bring misfortune to anyone!" "That's all I want!" "Then accept the prophecies as a part of yourself!" "Then I would rather..." "The dragon that appears here is one's own mirror." "Powerful dragons will appear before the strong." "I see." "That means this must be my power." "is my fate." "This is the Wheel of Fortune." "Then I shall strike the Wheel of Fortune down!" "Be vanquished!" "My attack... struck myself?" "save me... save me." "Nobu... naga..." "Save us!" "No!" "It hurts!" "Save us!" "is that your true self?" "I see." "That's how you suffered." "The reason I could not save you all..." "No." "The reason I hurt you all was because of my immaturity." "I accept all of your pain in its entirety!" "devour me!" "all of your suffering!" "Ranmaru!" "are you my companion?" "Yes!" "That's why I've come so far!" "Then hesitate no more." "Accept the prophecies!" "What?" "along with your prophecies." "Nobunaga..." "Do not worry!" "I am with you!" "Follow the prophecies and press onward without fear!" "Nobunaga." "If that's what you say..." "I will no longer hesitate." "I... will accept the prophecies!" "Nobunaga." "A dragon?" "By offering himself to the dragon he has gained honor." "The Lord!" "Nobunaga-sama has returned!" "Nobu." "I'm back." "we do not know of Lord Kenshin's safety." "You have returned..." "I see." "Destiny continues onward... toward the Last Supper." "A lone light shines through the darkness of a world that knows not what love is." "no matter what the cost." "Next time:" "The Sun." "I will deliver you its warmth." "0000"
