Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru (刀剣乱舞-花丸-)

The year is 2205 A.D.

To annihilate the History Retrograde Army, who scheme to alter history,

we, who were born from swords...

...engage in mortal combat today as well!

"Touken Ranbu Hanamaru S2"

Master!

We brought dinner!

May we join you?

"This anime is about the stories of the Hanamaru days

of a certain group of Sword Warriors in a certain citadel."

I got it!

It's so big!

Looks good!

As expected of Otegine!

It'd be great if there was saké, too!

I won't lose to anyone when it comes to stabbing.

Wait a minute!

Why...

Why are you all making yourselves comfortable?

"That Morning"

The weather's nice today, isn't it?

It's warm, even though it's already fall.

A day like this makes me want to go fishing.

We can get delicious saury at this time of year.

That sounds good!

I want to go, too.

But if we go by ourselves, then our big brothers and those at the citadel will probably worry.

We're done, we're done!

Fieldwork is pretty hard labor, huh?

"Otegine"

After doing hard labor, I wanna drink saké and have some delicious fish.

That sounds good.

It's fine to dream, isn't it?

Ichi-nii, you're so mean!

Whoops.

Hey, Houchou!

Quarreling with your brother?

How unusual.

I'm embarrassed you had to see that...

Houchou will be back once he's calmed down.

Thank you for your concern.

We'll have salt-grilled saury tonight for dinner!

Sounds good! It'll go great with hot saké, too!

Huh?

Houchou!

What's the matter?

Ichi-nii's a fathead, so I ran away from home.

What? What happened?

Hey, wanna come with us for a change of pace?

We're not catching anything!

Well, there are days like that, too.

Besides, we've only been fishing for about an hour.

Otegine and Nihongou are both sleeping, too.

They've been working the fields since this morning,

and it's nice and warm today.

I think I'm getting kind of sleepy, too...

Where... are we...?!

It's already morning, and they still haven't come home!

Calm down. The situation won't change even if you panic.

Did they come back?

Did he come here?

No, not yet.

We searched by the ocean all night, but no one was there.

My younger brothers and I searched the mountains, too...

There's no question that Otegine and the others went fishing yesterday, right?

That's what I heard.

But where could Houchou have gone?

I'll go look again.

Wait, wait. Aren't you tired from searching this whole time?

Why don't you take a break with your brothers first?

But...

We had Master look into it!

All six are together!

Really? Even Houchou?

Yeah. Master said not to worry because everyone is all right.

I'm so glad...

Also, they probably aren't very far away.

But Master doesn't know exactly where they are.

I see...

But even if Otegine and the others went fishing,

why didn't Houchou come back?

I scolded him too harshly.

"Feminine Wives"

Hey, Houchou.

Aren't I always telling you that if you eat so many snacks,

then you won't be able to eat dinner?

That's all you've been saying recently, Ichi-nii.

A married woman would kindly tell me that I could eat as much as I wanted.

No married woman would come to this citadel!

If only I hadn't been so harsh with him...

W-Well, isn't it great that it sounds like everyone's okay?

Hey, look.

Could that be...?

Kuniyuki! Are you going to look for them?

It'll be bad if we miss each other, so Hotarumaru, you stay at the citadel.

But you haven't slept this whole time, either, have you, Kuniyuki?

Will you be okay?

This is nothing.

If you're going to look for them, then I will go, too.

I will also--

A fake should stay.

I've been waiting at the citadel, so I still have stamina left.

So, I will go this time.

Very well. I leave it to you, then.

I will go search for them, too.

But...

I'm so worried, I can't sit still.

I'll tire myself out more if I stay.

I will also accompany you.

I'm sure I can be of use somehow.

Everyone, be careful out there.

Oh, right. If you're going out to look for them...

I understand.

A swallow is a symbol of luck.

It will definitely bring you all good luck.

They're cooked!

Here you go!

Thank you very much!

Delish!

It's the best!

Hey, wait!

Aren't you all getting too comfortable with this situation?

But we don't know where we should head.

Even from the citadel, they'll be able to figure out where we are,

so someone'll come for us eventually.

But we don't know how long it'll take.

So we should arrange things in our environment the best we can.

Houchou! When we finish eating, let's build a house with Nihongou-san!

What? If I don't have a reward waiting, like getting a pat on the head by a married woman,

then I don't feel like doing anything.

That's all you've been saying since you got here.

Isn't that why Ichigo Hitofuri scolded you?

Ichi-nii has nothing to do with what's going on now, does he?

And I'm sure he feels relieved that I'm gone.

He doesn't have to get mad anymore.

Monoyoshi, is this really the right path?

Yes.

My intuition is telling me so.

Is this really the right path?

Yes, this way please.

Good fortune lies up ahead.

Is this... a cave...?

It looks very deep...

I didn't know there was a place like this...

There's no evidence that anyone's been here before, either.

Hey, are you sure we're going the right way?

Yes, this way please.

Right now, we have no choice but to trust Monoyoshi and move forward.

You're right.

If something comes out, I'll chase it away.

Now, here we go!

It's getting chilly, so let's go by the bonfire.

I'm fine...

I think Ichi-nii's really worried about you, too, Houchou.

No, he's not. I always make him mad.

That's because he cares for you.

I think it's really hard for the kind Ichi-nii to get mad at someone.

But I think it's because

he wants you to be able to get along better with everyone at the citadel

that he does it.

Of my previous masters, there were those who were always alone in their later years.

No one ever got mad at them.

But I think that's the same as time being stopped.

They couldn't change or grow.

So let's work hard so Ichi-nii will praise us.

I know this is hard,

but let's do our best so we can be proud when we go back to the citadel.

All right. I'll do it.

We finally got out of there...
