So that's our strategy.

Ayako and I will round up the backup troops

from the village at the foot of the mountain.

And Genba, you are to immediately return

to Suwa Grand Shrine and request reinforcements.

I'm leaving the front lines! I don't have to die.

This guy…

Kids, I want your help too.

I want to set as many traps as possible before the enemy advances.

-Leave it to us. -We'll need to gather materials too.

-When battle starts… -First we should check the traps…

-…we'll safely relocate the children. -Oh, yeah. We can reuse some of the traps.

-They'll need a guard. I can do it. -So we'll use what we have already

and make the rest that we need?

Fubuki.

We'll need more traps this time, so let's increase the amount.

Do you have a minute to spare?

I see.

Your elusiveness is splendid.

Now attack me!

FLAIL

Now I understand.

Your attacks are utter trash.

So you want me to teach you a sword technique

that even someone like you could use to kill an enemy.

It's really hurtful that you've summed me up and finished your meal in one swing!

You're an excellent teacher.

The war council just now was very easy to understand,

and you seem to know sword fighting well.

Please. I don't want to just be protected all the time.

You said your name is Chojumaru.

Are you Shizuku's older brother?

That's more of a term of endearment.

The other retainers are fond of you, and they're devoted to you too.

You must be from an exceptionally noble family.

No. My parents were Suwa warriors, but they passed in a fire.

I don't have any relatives, so Suwa Grand Shrine took me in.

You see, I've never had martial arts training or anything.

FLOP - WHIP - BING - BOUNCE

He's an orphan.

Perhaps he empathizes with the children because he experienced similar hardships.

He doesn't have much going for him besides his elusiveness,

but his unexpected warmth in these turbulent times is a strong weapon.

There is something.

There's a secret sword technique that suits you.

Are you serious?

I didn't think anyone could intentionally pull off this technique,

but you will master it quickly.

I believe it is the kindest, most compassionate,

yet cruelest technique.

DEMON-HEART BUDDHA BLADE

Let's call it the Demon-heart Buddha Blade.

Demon-heart Buddha Blade?

However, this technique can only be used in a one-on-one match.

Wait, that means…

I should…

No, this way is better…

MUMBLE MUMBLE

It's perfect.

-Chojumaru. -Yes.

It looks like the enemy's main forces might invade as soon as tomorrow.

As for you, you'll fight the enemy general.

Understood!

With the reinforcements Shizuku will bring

and your elusiveness,

it's a heaven-sent chance at victory!

SQUISH

THE ELUSIVE SAMURAI

THE ELUSIVE SAMURAI

Right. We've surrounded them on both fronts.

Sir. Why do we gotta invade from the mountains

instead of goin' through the entrance?

The fact that our vanguard didn't come back three separate times means

there are plenty of ambushes or traps on the most accessible path.

An ambush on difficult terrain may be more trouble, but it's more secure.

My boss is so smart!

BUDDHA

The scoundrels causing a commotion in this era were warriors who,

after losing their land, became bandits and formed their own independent paradise.

Rich in combat experience, their war tactics

and organizational capabilities didn't compare to ordinary thieves.

Put the mind and body you've honed as a samurai to use,

and pillage mercilessly.

What a sweet feast for a scoundrel.

Kill the adults and enslave the children.

We shall taste the sweet sake of plunder.

Let's go.

What--

An ambush from the summit?

You bastards! I'll climb up there and kill you!

Stop. That's what they want.

VILLAGE

They'll shoot us down while we reverse the army and climb back up.

It's a strategic move to suppress the enemy when completely outnumbered.

No matter. Advance forward.

With this strategy, they might as well have admitted that they're outnumbered.

The enemy are few in number.

The battle is over if we can just occupy the village.

Now…

It's time for war.

Ice?

From a distance it just looks like flatlands, but the whole field is frozen.

We dammed up the waterway and flooded the outer edges of the village.

This winter is so extremely cold that Lake Suwa froze over.

The ice trap is ready in just one night.

What are you doing?

Hurry up!

It's not that easy!

The archers at the summit are descending!

This is bad. They're sniping us off in a cross fire!

-There's your path. Go. -Yes, sir!

Now a pitfall…

The traps just keep coming one after the other.

The children's traps are also functioning according to plan.

Damn thieves!

They dare desecrate the Suwa Sect's land that Myojin has gifted.

-The Suwa Warriors Shizuku gathered… -Fujimori, Komatsu!

-…are few in number, but they're reliable. -The enemy is coming from the right!

Go around and be on the defense!

We're able to stop the enemy attacks from both sides, all according to plan.

It's not impossible to wipe them out at this rate…

as long as they're solely average soldiers.

FURAN - SHIRO - BYAKKOTSU SEIGI PARTY CORE MEMBERS

Don't bother with your fellow men behind you.

The archers can't annihilate us in the dark.

Rather, we can keep the entire enemy army's attention on us.

Yes, sir.

First, we'll go kill the archers that are guiding the opposing army.

Their entire defense will totally crumble if they lose their leader.

I won't let you!

They pass through the ice and the pitfall traps

without panicking one bit, and easily overwhelm the guards.

Those four are exceptionally strong.

Especially that man that can see the entire state of the battle.

He must be the general.

Hey, what should we do, Fubuki?

We have to stop those four.

No. You guys already have your hands full.

If we divide our forces, the line of defense will collapse.

Then what shall we do?

Leave it…

to us children.

My eye!

Let's get that bald general!

I'll stop his sword, and you will deal the final blow!

No, that's a foolish strategy!

You…

Oh, no, kids.

Is it your first time fighting a warrior in full armor?

Shut up!

An armored warrior's swordsmanship

is completely different from what we'd expect in the present day.

This is because they can guard their face with their helmet,

their torso with their breastplate, and forearms with gauntlets.

The only body parts to vigilantly guard

are the slight openings between their armor.

Right here!

Are you done yet, kids?

Don't worry. I don't kill children.

All that we'll do is take your teeth and tongue out nicely,

gently slice the tendon in your right leg, and make you slaves.

I won't do anything other than that.

This guy.

He's an irredeemable demon.

Don't be scared!

You kids will be worth a total of three kanmon.

You don't want to become three kanmon?

Once you've gotten a sense of the enemy general's swordsmanship, please run away.

If you think you can outsmart him, lure him into that house.

What's this?

My lord, we're leaving, but you better not die!

Okay. Thank you.

I wonder if our lord will be okay by himself.

Maybe the three of us should take him on.

Considering the current situation,

we don't have the luxury of fighting three-on-one.

Plus, with the plan that Fubuki has devised,

it'll be easier for the Young Lord to defeat him on his own.

Everything Fubuki says and does is convincing.

The battle is going almost exactly as he predicted.

He's a great teacher, and his swordsmanship is excellent too.

He's overflowing with talent.

That Fubuki.

I guess it's time for me to join the fight.

Which one of you should I kill first?

Today's war is so fun.

Impressive! I've been trapped!

And all those traps outside the village…

Even Kusunoki would be thrilled by this defense tactic!

Kusunoki?

By the way, two kanmon (boy),

you're not planning on facing me by yourself, are you?

-What are you saying-- -Yes.

Your quality is higher than the two kids from earlier.

You will fetch two kanmon on your own.

Wait. If I teach you a skill, you could go up to three kanmon.

What is a cheap and easy trick I can teach in a short amount of time?

This man…

Even though he's been trapped, it doesn't seem to bother him at all.

In fact, he's started to appraise me.

I want to ask one thing.

Were you the one who gave the order

to slaughter the parents of the village children?

Certainly, it was me.

Why would you do something so cruel?

Even slave-handling brutes spare the mother, don't they?

That's a good question.

Four kanmon. (Boy.)

When I slaughter the parents, I feel elated for that moment.

When I kill the parents and sell off the kid, the elation lasts much longer.

These children have to suffer hell for the rest of their lives.

The peace and freedom they enjoyed under their parents will never return.

How I pity them.

A pitiful life of despair.

When I think about these things as I sell kids off,

buy sake with that money and get drunk,

it slowly fills my heart with joy, and I enjoy the most pleasant drunkenness.

I understand well.

You're a demon to the core.

I can kill you with no remorse.

It's a duel.

The winner takes the loser's future.

It's what you're good at, right?

You're a brave child.

What's your name?

I'm Chojumaru of Suwa Grand Shrine.

Chojumaru. (Boy.) (Four kanmon.)

You keep saying numbers.

Sorry, Chojumaru.

For this moment, I will respect your bravery

and regard you as a warrior, not a commodity.

What is your name?

I've changed my name many times, but right now, I go by Shokan.

Surely it will be special…

The sake I'll buy with the money I get for you!

NANBOKUCHO GAME OF TAG

DEMON OF DISBELIEF SHOKAN THE HERETIC

Look here! This brat's got nothin' on us!

I can take him on by myself.

Hurry up and kill him so we can find our boss.

Over here.

I guess the same trick won't work twice.

Pip-squeak. Where's our boss?

I saw him surrounded by our soldiers and crying pathetically.

You could go see him if you beat us, but I doubt you can.

You want people to treat you like an adult?

You're ten years too early, brats. Now die!

Reckless, so reckless. You brats are too damn reckless!

My man Shiro is the strongest in the Seigi Party!

Hey, where do you think you're going? Are you gonna run away?

Chicken.

No, I realized something while we were fighting.

It seems you don't want your allies to see this,

so I thought we would go somewhere more isolated.

What the hell are you talking about?

It's you, right?

The strongest person out of you thieves.

BUDDHA

You sure are good at evading, Chojumaru.

Want me to guess your strategy?

You're running around this cramped room, hoping my sword will get stuck somewhere.

You underestimate me.

An indoor fight is a specialty for thieves who invade homes.

I won't make a mistake as long as I switch out my long sword for this short one.

All in all, nothing threatens my heavy armor in this small room.

Plus, there's no room for you to run.

Your strategy is half-assed.

You've backed yourself into a corner, Chojumaru!

If at some point you don't think you can win,

knock over the fire and escape through the ceiling.

With your agility, you should be able to just reach it.

There's oil on the floor,

so you may be able to burn him alive if luck is on our side.

But this is a backup plan.

The best scenario is if you could defeat him with your own skills.

Can I really slay him?

It feels like the harder I try, the weaker my swings become.

You're misunderstanding how to use a sword.

Your weapon is your kindness.

You're better at running than fighting.

Better at pulling than pushing.

Better at defending rather than attacking.

Those skills are all because of your kindness.

That kindness is ideal for slaying a person.

Here, take the stance like I told you.

Are you praying to Buddha for help?

It's useless, useless!

Let me tell you a shocking fact.

There is no such thing as Buddha!

There's no need to grip your sword in hatred.

Instead, be like the bodhisattva and handle it with compassion.
