Drifters 3

[1]
Side note: Shimazu Toyohisa, a warrior from the Sengoku Era who was thrown into another world...

Iehisa: Toyohisa!
Toyohisa!!
You got a warrior's head in your very first battle?!
You are great! A great youngster indeed!
Toyohisa!

Box: Dad!
[T.N.: All lines in this page are in Satsuma dialect.]


[2]
Toyohisa: Dad!!

Man: Oh, so you did wake up.
A rather tough man.
Your wounds have just been stitched up.
Better not to move, or else you'll die.


[3]
Toyohisa: Who are you?!
Who the hell
are you?!

Man: Who am I?
I am asking the same question.
Who are YOU?


[4]
Man: Answer me.
Who are you...
and where are you from?


[5]
Toyohisa: That "mokko" family crest...
[T.N. "mokko" is a Japanese quince, often used in family crests.]
Are you a man from the house of the Oda?

Man: A man from the house of the Oda?!
Are you an oaf?
*I* am Oda.
And Oda is *me*.

Toyohisa: Who the hell are you!?


[6]
Man: I am Nobunaga.
Oda Ufu Nobunaga.
[T.N.: Oda Nobunaga(1534-1582) was a famous general and daimyo who started the unification of Japan in the Sengoku Era. "Ufu" was his nobility rank.]


[7]
(Toyohisa almost hits Nobunaga with his sword.)

Nobunaga: That was dangerous.
You really are an oaf.

Toyohisa: YOU are the oaf!!
You say you are Nobunaga?!
Lord Nobunaga has been dead for so many years now!
Henceforth, here must be indeed the netherworld!
And you must be a devil trying to deceive me with your Nobunaga talk!
[T.N.: Oda Nobunaga was indeed called as an oaf in his early years, given his rather odd behavior. It's said that actually, Oda was so smart that no one could understand him, taking him for an oaf.]

[8]
Person: Stop it.


[9]
Feminine looking man: Are you awake?
That is good news indeed.

(The man turns to Nobunaga and presents a bird)

Man: Pluck the feathers off.

Nobunaga: Hm.
I see.


[10]
(Nobunaga starts plucking)

Man: Do you have your hands free?

Toyohisa: Uh...
yes.

Man: Pluck the feathers off.

(the three start plucking)

Toyohisa: What the fuck is this?

Chapter 3: The Devil Lord of the 6th Heaven
[T.N.: This was the nickname Oda Nobunaga had, according to Portuguese preacher Luis Frois. It is used for men with an enormous power and huge talents, yet lacking in spiritual development.]
