Kamui: What's wrong?
Something like that won't stop me.
I was glad you attacked without thinking twice about the enemy's injuries,
but you're still around 100 steps short
to go at it with Big Brother.
SFX: GOH

SFX: DOOON
Kagura: Maybe for you,
with short legs like Poppy.
But me, who has the body of a model like Mommy,
I can make it in one step!!
SFX: GAOON
Kagura: The battle starts here, yes? Stupid Big Brotheeeer!!

SFX: DOGOOO
Kamui: Sheesh. You really are a dumb little sister.
The basics of battle are to know one's self and to know one's enemy.
Take a good look
at the length of your legs
and at your enemy.

Kondou: It looks like
this is it.
Momochi: I am sorry.
I know you warriors have a cherished desire to go down gloriously by the side of your shogun.
Just as we shinobi
have chosen the path of dying in the shadows.
Hiji: Heh.
We're just gonna end up as fertilizer in the dirt anyhow, so it's the same thing whether we go down on a bed of flowers or a footpath between rice fields.
So
I'm gonna die next to my shogun.
Kondou: Heh. You said it.
You better protect my back to the end, Toshi.

Page 12:
Kon: As long as I ain't dead,
you can't go dying on me.
Hiji: Geez... We really want to have the most graceful exit we can.
Momochi: .........
Do not worry. Whichever one of you dies first, I will manipulate the corpse with my puppet techniques.
Kon: Keh. I really can't laugh at that joke.
Let's go!
SFX: DOH
Kon: Let's show these guys what the final struggle of shinobi and samurai aaaare!!

Tendoushuu: Well done.
Your work on this occasion was truly magnificent.
You did well protecting Lord Shigeshige from the insurgents.

Page 16:
Tendoushuu: You all are truly
loyal retainers.
Shou: T-
Tendoushuu.
Abuto: ...I see.
So knowing everything that was going on, they've been sitting on their laurels up on their perch
just waiting for this opportunity.

Abuto: So right when we, the Hitotsubashi Faction, and the Shogun Faction have exhausted each other
they could swoop in.
SFX: SHARAN SHARAN
Abuto: Vile crows and their love of eating dead flesh.
Did you think if you came now you could peck at our eyeballs?
All right, then.
I doubt you expected that you would get off scot free after butting into a Yato's fight.
Guy: Vice Captain!
I have an urgent message from the unit on standby just nearby earth!
Abuto: What? Did these crows fly all the way to space?
Guy: No...!! It's Harusame!
SFX: GOGOGO
Guy: Our unit, the 7th division
has been surrounded by a Harusame fleet!!

Page 18:
Abuto: Geez.
They even got the senate of elders to go with them?
Captain,
it looks like our little prank's gone too far.
Tendoushuu: Your role ends here.
We will take custody over Lord Shigeshige.
Rest easy. You may leave all further matters in our hands.
Hattori: You're not gonna fool us with that.
In order to crush a hostile faction, a group that's been silent this whole time
is just now going to give shelter to the shogun?
So your next choice after the Hitotsubashi Faction is to try to manage something with the Shogun that won't listen to you?
Tendoushuu: Crush the Hitotsubashi Faction?
I have no idea what you are talking about.

Page 19:
Tendoushuu: Although we owe a debt to Lord Hitotsubashi, we have no recollection of them being a hostile faction.
Lord Shigeshige, you should be thankful to them as well.
Do you remember? You handed this in trying to resign from your position as Shogun.
This resignation decree?
Paper: Resignation Decree
Tendoushuu: At that time, there was no one fit to take your place and so it was put on hold,
but now we have someone suitable to govern this country and the emperor has given his permission.
He is the next Great Shogun that Subdues Barbarians
Hitotsibashi Nobunobu.
Henceforce known as Tokugawa Nobunobu.
