"I wish to have a word with my lord." "What a terrible smell." "It is something that you must listen to." "For the upcoming match on September 24th... that is taking place within this castle..." "If you must have them fight with real swords..." "I beg of you to stop it." "Superiority or inferiority in swordsmanship can be shown fully with wooden swords." "To use real swords would be a waste of these skilled people..." "The world is already at peace. and if you stain its gardens with blood... it would be taken as a sign of rebellion to the public!" "And it would be a serious incident for this family." "I will show this to you myself!" "Fighting... with real swords... w-will result in something like this!" "my lord... is this what you truly want to see?" "Foolish ruler. on September 24th." "It really is a waste." "To think that the lives of the best people in this city would be lost to real sword matches..." "And yet... no one can stop it. the lord simply trampled over him..." "He is most foul indeed." "A samurai's life does not belong to the samurai himself." "Being granted a chance to die for their master is an honor for a warrior." "{}" "Mie-dono." "Is something wrong?" "I saw it."

"Indeed." "Has he gone mad?" "For a one-armed swordsman to take on a match with real swords..." "He is competent." "Hyuuga-dono." "master of Kogan-ryuu..." "Fujiki Gennosuke-dono." "You were recommended by elder Saegusa Izunokami-sama." "let me look at your body again." "as you wish." "A wound of defeat?" "Is it all right for someone like this to stand before the master?" "based on the muscles on that back." "Irako Seigen." "Iku." "It'll be fine." "A cripple?" "Not only that." "He's blind?" "Fujiki Gennosuke." "Irako Seigen. and demonstrate your swordsmanship to the fullest for our master." "One-armed versus blind..." "To stain the gardens with something that is totally unworthy of being called martial arts... it will ultimately..." "No!" "Asakura-dono. and the cruel fate that they bring on themselves is truly what sways their souls." "finally..." "W-{\1aHFF\bord0\shad0}What is that pose?" "W-What is that pose?" "That is surely..." "Irako-sama's absolute victory pose." "The Mumyou Sakanagare form." "Fujiki-sama." "Please kill him." "That hateful..." "That hateful Irako." "Please kill him." "You monster..." "I can't read it." "I can't read the swords." "they're not normal! Toutoumi prefecture." "Don't do it." "Fujiki's sword press." "That's painful." "It doesn't let you say "I give up." "Give" "That's enough." "Fujiki."

"You can't..." "It will hurt your afterlife..." "Father!" "You came to break our dojo?" "I see." "Sensei is busy at the moment. you must fight two of our students before facing our master." "I don't mind." "Matching against other schools... in addition to the match itself. there's also the possibility of leaving a grudge." "It is definitely not good to have." "The man from the other school must be treated carefully." "There must not be any permanent deaths." "Make it so that they stand out when they return. and raise the reputation of the dojo to higher ground." "400)}It's unnecessary." "It's unnecessary." "His red lips..." "They're unnecessary for swordsmanship." "Is Fujiki's sword tip turning a little hot?" "The man bursts in." "Now." "Sword press!" "I'll crush you!" "He missed his chance." "What's wrong?" "Fujiki's stance seems strange." "He's... trapped his fingers." "Stop right there." "Instructor!" "Instructor!" "Instructor Fujiki!" "Don't mind me." "It begins now."
