Hmm.

They've taken our town, our homes.

Now we show them what they can never take.

Yeah!

At least one of you had better survive this.

I still need to get paid.

I fear your hope for remittance rests entirely on Saki now

and her protector.

It's time.

You would abandon your position?

This is your plan?

Let us all get overrun while you pray for your own salvation?

Hmm!

Your spiritual power is great, but you use it only as a weapon,

even when it would be better used as a shield.

There's a saying among my people, Doctor.

"No matter how hard the shield,

with enough time, any blade will get through it. "

- How do we get through all this? - Stay here.

- That's the opposite of getting through. - You stay here.

What the hell?

- Ambush! He fights for the enemy! - Wait. No! Don't shoot!

Hold your fire! It isn't me! I'm not doing this!

Now we go.

Show-off.

Hey, listen.

You'll get to rest soon. I promise.

You just need to keep your strength for a short while longer. Can you do that?

Mm-hmm.

Good.

Tell me where to find the Daimyo.

Hmm.

- Where is she? - Everywhere.

Ah!

Hey, what-

Yassan, are you okay?

Yassan?

Yassan!

Yassan!

Iga soldiers. What are they doing here?

Wha-? Uh…

That always was your way. To follow your first instinct.

Act from your gut.

Come now, my friend.

From that look, one would think you've never seen a ghost!

Surely you must have known

I wasn't entirely finished with this world.

Or is it the other way around?

My lord.

I come here to help you defeat the Daimyo who usurped me.

- How? - Who are you talking to?

Come.

Time, as always, fights against us.

What's happening?

My lord, you're…

Alive?

Matters of such importance are rarely so cut and dry.

I am still your kaishakunin.

No!

There is only one way to break these bonds.

Destroy Hojo Masako, whose power sustains them.

You must free me, Yasuke.

You must kill the Daimyo.

Yassan!

I won't just leave you, Yassan.

It's you.

It's her.

Whoa!

You know how to make a big wall. I'll give you that.

We have to give them more time.

They need more time.

Something tells me they don't have it.

Steady!

What are you doing?

Now we try my way.

Mmm.

Stop it!

It's me, Saki! Can't you see me?

He has abandoned you, like they all do.

He cares only for his own ends.

Just like your parents when they sold you.

Yasuke!

You begin to understand. There's only one way to stop the samurai.

You must kill him.

Bring your blade down into her heart.

You do not need him.

End him and set yourself free.

No!

He's my friend.

Yasuke, don't do this.

No. This…

This isn't real.

It can't be. It's some kind of trick.

It's not a trick.

It's your own memory.

Natsumaru?

You have honor.

You try to do the right thing, even when you have to fight yourself.

You helped your friends. Like me.

You're not-

You're not really here.

Even if there could be forgiveness for what I've done,

you aren't here to grant it.

"All we can do now is act as she would have wanted. "

"As they would have wanted. "

You said that to me once.

Kill her.

She's the one who helped Mitsuhide betray us.

The Hojo Daimyo must die.

Yes.

She must!

Did you think that was the whole of my strategy?

I merely thought to amuse myself as I turned the girl's power to mine.

But I can just as easily rip it from her body.

Are you all right? Did I hurt you?

No.

Saki!

Neither of us is strong enough to beat her.

What do we do, Yassan?

We beat her together.

Together.

Enough!

You earned your payment, Shaman.

Too bad I can't take it with me.

If we must give our lives,

then we do so proudly in the temple of our ancestors.

I cannot understand it.

The insistence in believing these illusions,

when the true relation of nature remains what it has always been.

Power.

I will make the girl's power my own.

So this is how it feels…

Change.

Does this mean we won?

The monster was created by the Daimyo's power.

It could only have been destroyed if that power is no more.

We won!

We won!

Yeah!

- Whoo! - Whoo!

Perhaps.

But if this is victory, what is the cost?

Yassan, we did it. We beat her!

Yassan?

Yassan!

What happened?

You saved me.

We do that for each other kind of a lot.

The Daimyo…

You're standing.

You aren't sick anymore.

Yeah, you're right.

I feel better somehow.

More balanced.

Not for long.

Soon you will want more and more.

So much that it will take a whole world to sustain you.

No, I'm not like you.

I have friends.

My body… Flames rage inside it.

Samurai, dispatch me quickly from this realm.

The people you tormented will decide your fate.

Collect all their weapons.

- Check those knots. - You, get more bandages.

No one is safe.

- I'm on my way! - Let's move this.

You, come on. Right here. Get me some help.

Where's the medic?

Morisuke!

Saki, I thought you…

So, you did it, then.

You truly defeated her.

No. We did.

Ah. Finally been paid, I see, Achoja.

I guess I owe you some kind of thanks.

This is the most successful job I have ever done.

I don't know. Are you sure we should've come back?

It's your home.

Where is everyone?

Hmm?

It's all right, everyone. It's Saki and the boatsman.

They've come back.

Sorry about the greeting.

We've been getting visits from some of the Daimyo's old units,

trying to jockey for power.

But we showed them where to go!

We heard it was you that took down the Daimyo.

Never been prouder of one of our own!

One of… your own?

You got a fruit tree for life at my stand!

As long as you don't blow it up again.

You're a badass, Saki!

How'd you do it? Was it like, "Bam"?

Or was it like, "Ka-thunka-boom"?

What? You knock me unconscious with one psychic blast

and suddenly we're not friends anymore?

I was sure you would hate me forever!

Ichi told us what happened.

We owe you so much for what you did for this land.

We all do.

Come on, Dad. Ask her!

If you need a place to stay, we would be honored if you would-

Really?

Yes!

Oh!

So that means you're back?

It was never my home.

It was my retreat.

One which I no longer need.

I suppose I could stay a little bit longer.

Just until your training is finished.

I almost forgot!

- Saki, I- - She would want you to have it.

It was your mother's.

You could come bring it back to me, when I'm older.

Come on, Saki! Let me show you my new toys!

People give you so much stuff when you almost die!

Yeah, seriously, come on!

MARU

I remember you.

You are the African who protected me from Ota Gyuichi that day on the docks.

It all seems so long ago.

I guess that it was.

NATSUMARU

Was it also you who sent my family the chest of Nobunaga's gold?

I always thought it must have been you.

You were the only one she spoke of as a friend.

There was something else. Something I should have given you then.

If you have this,

does that mean…

W- Were you with her, at the end?

Tell me.

How did she die?

She died with honor.

She died fighting for her clan.

Thank you for returning-

Uh… Huh?
