Oh, merciful one…
god of healing.
Give your blessing to those pure of heart.
To those suffering in pain.
Show them the path to life.
His wounds are bad.
He may not make it.
It's okay.
I won't last long.
Joshua,
be careful.
Macapine is a fearsome man.
He found out the location of the samurai residence.
What?
The rebel army in Ho Rando was wiped out…
Jorg!
The threads.
Watch out for the threads.
Jorg…
BASTARD‼ -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-
HELL'S REQUIEM
They defeated someone as skilled as Jorg.
BLUE STORM
Look at these cuts.
What kind of blade could cause wounds like these?
Any other person would have died of shock the moment he was cut.
It's a miracle he made it here.
Jorg used up the last of his energy to get back to us.
Joshua…
Jorg was his best friend.
What?
The enemy knows our location?
That is what I have heard.
Then their army might attack us at any moment.
Young Prince!
Don't call me that!
Once I avenge the late king, the crown is mine.
So just call me King!
Now he shows up.
I wish he'd praised Jorg's loyalty while he was still alive.
Anyway, who was it?
Which disloyal bastard betrayed me?
Prince Mercy. There is not a single disloyal samurai.
Fool! What are you saying, Mifune? Didn't you hear--
-King. -Huh?
Lord Mifune speaks the truth.
The enemy didn't know of our location
until just now.
Is that a thread?
They traced him here. A trap?
They exploited Jorg's loyalty.
That damn Sorcerer Shogun.
What in tarnation?
The enemy tricked him?
And he led them right to our front door?
You…
fool!
-King! -King!
What's wrong with you all?!
Wait!
Have you forgotten that a samurai's loyalty is absolute?
But…
Vai.
We have other things to do now.
For Jorg's sake, too.
Yoko…
Now that I, Ba Thory, am here,
the lowly samurai are all good as dead!
That cowardly Yngwie
is nothing compared to a great Sorcerer Shogun like me.
Lord Kall-Su will soon see that!
I can see the ogre in you.
What?
Just try not to die.
Shut up, Macapine!
As long as we've got this thing,
we can kill hundreds of samurai in one blow.
Bring on the storm!
Drag the samurai rats from their hole!
They're here.
A sphinx?!
Send out the samurai and kill the beast.
I will take shelter by escaping through the rear gate with the women and children.
You too, Mifune.
-Wait. -What?
The enemy wants to wipe us out.
They may have circled behind us under cover of the storm.
We should stay put and watch from the castle.
Have you lost your nerve, coward?
If anything happens to me,
we lose all hope of rebuilding the kingdom.
Besides, if they only just found us,
they can't have sent a large force already.
Young Prince, each Sorcerer Shogun is worth an entire army.
Shut up, you bastard!
I'm scared, Yoko!
Samurai, move out!
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Guess we have no choice.
Tia Noto Yoko. You stay here.
You will take shelter with me. A woman of high birth
does not need to endanger herself by fighting among the samurai.
What?
That little perv.
Prince Mercy.
That's all in the past.
I live among the samurai now.
I don't want any special treatment.
The daughter of the Great Priest of Meta-llicana,
Tia Noto Yoko, died two years ago.
Along with one man's soul.
Yoko…
Yoko.
Yoko!
-Yoko! -Yoko!
I couldn't do anything.
Two years ago, I just let everyone else protect me.
Nei, Gara, Kai, and Sean. They all fought.
For what they believed in.
Even Princess Sheila
fought against the unbelievably heavy fate of the seal.
And…
Huh?
You too…
Stay alive.
You have to survive.
You're 17 now.
No matter what happens,
don't give in.
Never admit defeat.
Promise me you'll keep hope alive for the future.
Yoko?
I love you.
The ritual to break the seal.
She still has faith in it.
Oh no, how could she?
Yoko… I like you.
Let's go, everyone!
-Yes! -Yes!
Geo, my friend.
Rejoice.
Your daughter has grown so strong.
The fate of these two
will decide the future of humanity.
I'm counting on you, Joshua, and Kai.
Even if we can't rebuild our kingdom,
we must protect Yoko and Lucien.
I'll fight…
Of my own will.
We won't let you go any further.
Attack!
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Here come the scumbags.
You're standing inside Yozanshi's barrier now!
These Yozanshi threads are so sharp that they can slice steel like tofu!
Eat this!
Thread Formation from One-Thousand Sides!
What?
Threads? He's put up a barrier using threads?
Too slow! You're so careless.
Your fate is to be sliced to rings!
All this time, you've survived due to Yngwie's incompetence.
But I'm not like him.
Dance, my puppets.
-If there is beauty in destruction, -Mohi!
then show me now!
You bastard!
Mohi!
Goddammit!
Is that tallow?
It's slowing down the threads.
I can see them. And they're blunted.
They may be sharp steel threads,
but even they get weighed down by oil.
That was a clever idea.
Yoko! Kai!
Watch out! The sphinx is coming.
Clever little trick.
Vai!
Got it!
I'll give you a taste of my new technique.
Ready for reaction!
Power of flame, dwell in this blade!
Bonfire!
Did we kill it?
A barrier?
Kai, above you!
Using a spell leaves you open.
You're mine, Kai Harn!
The Sorcerer Shogun Ba Thory.
He's going to kill me.
Die, traitor!
Earth Sword! Patriotic Mt. Fuji Destruction!
What?
Schen!
Let me deal with this guy.
Kill the sphinx.
Okay.
Thanks.
Don't mess with me, brat.
You're not my true target,
but I'm glad I get to kill a Sorcerer Shogun.
He came with me without Lord Kall-Su's permission,
and then rushes headlong into battle.
If Tia Noto Yoko is alive then that man could be alive too.
Why didn't he consider that?
What an idiot.
Whatever. He'll make for good bait.
If Dark Schneider shows up…
I'll just sit back and watch.
That won't do.
What?
Joshua Belaira. When did you get here?
A samurai is not allowed to strike down someone whose weapon is sheathed.
You managed to sneak up behind me.
You bastard.
It's strong.
I'll break down that thing and the barrier altogether!
No good. This place is covered in threads.
We can't get out.
The threads. Watch out for the threads.
Macapine is a thread wielder.
Jorg gave his life to warn us.
And we wasted his warning.
What are you doing?
Get me to the exit.
The sphinx and its lightning will destroy the castle.
It's no use, Prince.
What did you say?
Even if we get out, there's nothing we can do.
We can't protect you and the women and children.
Too many of us died.
Do something!
This man
is not worthy of our loyalty.
However, a samurai cannot break the rules.
Would that man let anything tie him down?
You're pretty good, brat.
That black blade.
You must be Schen Karr.
The number two samurai.
I've heard you're an even better swordsman than Joshua Belaira.
Your body is about to find out.
I know that stance. The Shadow style of swordsmanship.
Secret Shadow Sword Style.
Fudo Meio-Ken!
No way! His sword disappeared!
I see.
You severed the fighting spirit emanating from your sword…
to hide the trajectory of the blade…
from your enemy's eyes…
What?
Your swordsmanship is really something.
But you underestimated my magic.
That's why you're only number two.
He's regenerating?
I, Ba Thory, keep millions of bugs inside my body.
My lovely little friends.
My body is their home, so when it breaks, they exert an incredible life force,
to repair it for their own sake.
They're called regeneration worms.
I've got others too, Schen.
For example…
Demon blood worms!
These are vampiric worms.
He's a bug wielder?
Uh-oh! You're screwed now!
You will die, Schen.
No one has ever been able to pull them off their body while they're still alive!
You may be the better swordsman,
but I'm too strong for you.
Your swordplay is like a pretty dance.
Wonderful, Joshua!
You're the first to fight the Yozanshi using a sword.
My friend Jorg gave his life to tell me your secret.
Now that I know,
I can see through your threads with ease!
That fool also told me where you were.
Shut up!
I will punish you no matter what.
My greatest technique will send you to hell.
Butterfly Dance, Ashura Blade!
How beautiful, like a swarm of dancing butterflies.
And the Ashura Blade, which divides life from death in an instant.
But I am after another man's head.
I don't give a damn about yours.
What?
A female? They had another one?
Cowards!
You novice! Fighting is all about victory.
Winning is all that matters.
Valuing honor and honesty only limits your strength.
Why can't you and Yngwie understand that?
Now, suffer and die.
Joshua!
Damn! The barrier is too thick.
Samurai spells can't break it.
I'll have to dash in and cut it with my sword.
Oh no, the sphinx is going to fly.
We can't hit it in the air.
It's hopeless.
I can't change the tide of the battle on my own.
Angus!
Shit!
There was another one?
I'm powerless.
Forgive me, Lucien.
I can't protect you anymore.
What do you say, Joshua? Isn't this a beautiful sight?
My division of winged beasts.
You should be honored.
Two Sorcerer Shogun and ten magic beasts.
That's all it takes for us to destroy your whole army.
The castle is crumbling!
Move aside! Out of my way!
Look!
Run away!
Looks like this fight is over.
Lord Kall-Su will be very pleased with me.
Marie…
Time for you to die, Joshua.
Joshua!
Don't give in.
Never admit defeat.
It's not over yet.
There's still something I can do.
According to the records,
this spell only has a 20% success rate.
I don't think you can use it now,
but if it works, it can completely revive all who have died.
But the spell also kills the caster.
The caster's life serves as the catalyst for the spell.
I'll sacrifice my life.
These two years,
the kind samurai of the samurai residence protected me.
The old lady.
I love them all.
I…
choose her instead.
Instead of having the whole world,
I'd rather have her.
I…
It's strange, Lucien.
I feel you so close to me right now.
Open, divine coffers of the heavens!
In the name of lord, release your power!
Save those about to ascend to the heavens,
in exchange for my life--
It's okay.
Don't worry.
What's happening?
Shut the hell up!
