Soyo: Hello?
This is Shigeshige's little sister...
Soyo.
Nobunobu-sama...
it's you, isn't it?
Nobu: ..........!!

Saka: What's wrong, Shogun-sama?
Were you not able to get in contact with your retainers on earth?
Nobu: ...........
SFX: SUH
Saka: Hello? I just took over from the Shogun.
Soyo: ...........
Saka: I'm Sakamoto Tasuma 'a the Kaientai.
Fer certain unavoidable circumstances, I'm accompanyin' the Shogun.
But no need ta be alarmed. The Shogun's safe with us.
Though negotiations with the Liberation Army did go sour and we got imprisoned for a bit.
SFX: GARARA
Saka: But we've got the Admiral Shijaku faction of Liberation Army Headquarters on our side,
Guys: Admiral!!
Saka: and we just gout out 'a the cells.
SFX: GASHIII

Shi: My apologies.
I never intended to make you all accessories to my betrayal.
Guys: No, it was because of you that we joined the Liberation Army in the first place, Admiral.
What the Liberation Army has become is just...
Shi: Did anything happen while I was imprisoned?
Guys: Admerial... Prince Enshou has just utterly...
Saka: We'll be working with Admiral Shijaku from here.
And also
we'll be working with the Admiral's homeland,
SFX: GOGOGO
Saka: Prince Dragonia of Planet Oukoku
and Prince Ba... Prince Hata and his personnel.
We are going to take control
of the Liberation Army Headquarters mother ship, the Amenotori Ship.

Page 4:
Saka: Even after gaining all these allies, I don't see us overturnin' our numerical disadvantage,
but if we can make use of the situation goin' on in the mother ship, we might be able ta pull it off.
But when it comes down to it, desperate measures like that are the only thing that'll end the war at this point.
So please, tell the people fightin' on Earth right now
ta just hold out a little longer.
And that we swear
we'll make it back ta Earth ta see 'em.
That all okay, Shogun-sama?
Nobu: ...........
Shi: Whaaat?!!
Guys: !!
Shi: I-Is that true?!!
............!!
Saka: Admieral, what happened?
Shi: ................

Page 5:
Shi: I'm sorry,
my earthling friends.
It's too late.
Too late for anything.
Enshou: ...It's already shifted towards destruction.
And the one who turned the rudder is you humans.

Title: Lesson 630
Bushido is Found One Second Before Death
Author: Sorachi HIdeaki
T/N: This is a joke on a famous phrase from Hagakure, the book of the samurai, often translated as "Bushido is found in death" or "Bushido is the way of dying".
En: The Amenotori Ship is not merely the Liberation Army's mother ship,
it is the pedestal of this giant weapon made by gathering the best techniques from all across the universe.
It possesses the power to destroy a planet in one attack. I had it long sealed because it was feared as a weapon whose might was simply taboo,
but in pursuit of our holy war, we improved it and restored it.
We needed a great deal of energy and time in order to use it, but we have long since gathered all we needed.
Hinokagutsuchi is now ready to fire.

Page 7:
En: In other words, in just 6 more hours,
this blue planet will disappear from the universe.
Before night ends on your planet,
it will disappear into the eternal night of space.
Gen: So basically, yer sayin' if ya can't get close ta the earth,
yer gonna finish the job from out in outer space?

Page 8:
Gengai: That ain't all that convincing as far as threats go.
If ya personally reduce this war that's had so many sacrifices
ta nothing,
then the comrades ya got here on the planet
fightin' fer the same noble cause are gonna go with it.
En: That is the reason I am doing it.
So the sacrifices made by those fighting for the same great cause are not in vain,
we cannot lose this holy war.
Our comrades on Earth will gladly become a stepping stone if it's for that victory.
SFX: GACHA

Page 9:
Guys: ...Prince,
what in the world are we fighting for?
To liberate people and planets from the Tendoushuu?
...But the ones we're fighting now are those people, isn't it?
Not only that, but if we destroy out comrades along with the planet
then aren't we
the same as the Tendoushuu?
Pricne, please, stop this.
This war... is not some holy war.
En: .........
Precisely.
There is no great moral cause in this war... No,
things like moral causes are mere sophistries created for those so weak they cannot fight without a reason.
I knew from the beginning
that even if we defeated the Tendoushuu, we would not get back what we lost.
SFX: JARI
En: Even if we free planets... free people, the things we lost will not come back.
So why do we fight?

Page 10:
En: Because fighting... is all we have left.
SFX: DO DO DO DO DO
Guys: This hatred,
this sadness,
now that we have lost any means of ridding ourselves of them,
all we can do is throw them in hell fire of battle where they'll burn on and on.
Until all the hatred and sadness burn out and become ash...
our only choice is to keep fighting.

Page 11:
En: As you can see,
we are already prepared to keep fighting even if it means stepping over the corpses of our comrades.
You can disappear along with the planet before dawn breaks,
or you can stop those nanomachines you've scattered all about before then,
and meet us directly and be destroyed.
Either way, your only path is that of destruc-
Guy: Prince!
SFX: WAAA

Soyo: Please come in,
Sakamoto-san.
What do you mean the Earth will soon be erased?
What is this destructive weapon...? Sakamoto-san!!
Saka; No need ta worry.
All that's happened is a planet that could 'a been destroyed at any time,
now's got a clear fixed time when it'll be destroyed.
Soyo: HUUUH?!!
SFX: UIIIN
Guys: RUUUUUUN!!

Guys: !
Looks like they're already onta us!!
SFX: DO DO DO DO DO
Saka: It seems that all that's left on this ship and in the Liberation Army
SFX: WAH
Saka: are tools of Enshou.
Shi: There's no time. And our chances aren't looking...
Saka: So waht?
Whether we've got a good chance 'er not,
it doesn't change what we gotta do.

Saka: Yeah,
nothin's changed.
SFX: DODOOO
Saka: They say that Bushido
is somethin' ya find in death, after all!

Page 15:
Someone: Reinforcements have arrived from the home country.
Zura: Good. Have them stationed on the border of the Liberation Army radar net!
Draw the enemy's battleships' attention to tear as many as you can away from the mother ship!
We will exploit that opening and use a stealth ship to launch a surprise attack on the enemy mother ship!
-----Says Prince Dragonia!
Even if the last moment
comes one second from now,
Handwritten: How did I end up in this mess...
Zura: we're going to keep living our lives the fullest so we have no regrets.
That is the thing we call a samurai.

Page 16:
Zura: Now that second has stretched until dawn.
And no matter what there is to lament over,
be joyous, Samurai.
Because we can still fight.
We can keep fighting
until there's not
a single shred of regret remaining.
Shin: NEVER DRINK AGAIIIIIIN!!

Soyo: ...moto-san!
Sakamoto-san!!
SFX: ZA
Nobu: Do not worry.
Edo... this country,
I swear I will protect it.
I'm sure your elder brother
would say that, wouldn't he?

Page 18:
Nobu: A real shogun
would say that, wouldn't he?
Unfortunately, I do not have the qualifications, nor the caliber to say that.
But as someone who used many lives as stepping stones in order to stand here at the top,
I at least have the qualifications to be a stepping stone for this country.
For those that perished, unable to protect those they sought to,
I at least have the qualifications... to perish for those they left behind.
...........
I'm sorry.
Soyo: ..........
I won't forgive you.

Page 19:
Soyo: Unless you... come back alive,
I won't forgive you.
Please come back to Earth,
and report to my elder brother
in front of his grave with me.
Report to him... that we protected Edo...
Cause if you don't, I'll...
never forgive you.
