Pg 31
?: The Shibata Army's archers are way too fast
?: We can't shoot back

?: Stop, stop, crouch down and protect yourself

SG: Whoa

HY: Urgh, up to our main force
HY: Their firing distance is too much

Shibata: Are those guys flinching already?
Shibata: Next are the spears, charge!

Pg 32
Box: After a volley of arrows from the archers

Box: The spear unit would attack in a "yari-busuma" formation

Note: Yari-busuma: Written with the kanji for "spear quilt." 20-30 soldiers wielding spears would fight while packed together. It was called such because the tips of the spears lined up together looked like a blanket.

?: The spears are coming!
?: Kinoshita archers, move to the side
Box: Then the two spear units would fight each other.

Pg 33
Box: This way of fighting was recorded in Zatsuhyou Monogatari

Sengoku: Time for the Kinoshita spear unit.
?: Ho

?: Now
?: Raise the spears

Note: Zatsuhyou Monogatari (The Common Soldier's Tale): A book compiled in the early Edo period by Matsudaira Mino no Kami Nobuoki. In the tactics of Sengoku-era warfare were recorded in the words of the foot soldiers.

Quote: [might want to use a different font for this? Like an old fashioned one] "Don't think of thrusting with the spears"
Quote: Line up all of the spear heads, and strike from above as one.

Pg 34
?: Strike!

?: Owww

Hori: Up till now, the Kinoshita Brigade has been weak...
Hori: I cannot think of them at all as a well-trained unit
Txt: Hori Kyuutarou Hidemasa

Hori: The archers are not at all in sync, and they're firing wildly
?: Raise the shield!
?: Give me the arrows quicker!

Hori: The yari-busuma has a power that is beyond simple numbers, which comes from all of the soldiers moving as one, and concentrating their strength....

Hori: In the case of the Kinoshita spear unit.. They are all in disarray....

Pg 37
Hori: Looking at the main units, the gap between the two generals is obvious.

Hori: Probably.... Out of all the brigades participating, the Kinoshita Brigade
Hori: will be the one which collapsed the fastest

HY: They've been taken in by Hanbei's plan
