Sengoku Basara: The Last Party

The time: the Warring States Era.

The brave men aiming to unify the land heralded

in the age with the entire country on the line.

The one closest to unifying the land was the

Devil King of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga.

Nobunaga ruthlessly shot down all those who dared stand in his way.

His biological sister, Oichi, and her husband, Azai Nagamasa were no exception.

As the Oda army dyed the land of the rising sun in blood and fear,

the One-eyed Dragon of Oshu, Date Masamune,

and the young warrior of the Kai Takeda, Sanada Yukimura,

aim for Nobunaga’s stronghold in Azuchi together

despite formally being enemies themselves.

We’ll turn Azuchi Castle into the Devil King’s grave!

We absolutely cannot give our future over to a compassionless general!

All we shall offer the Devil King are prayers for the dead!

Thus, their rear guard, comprised of warriors

from all over the land, amass at Azuchi.

From Oshu: Masamune’s long-time confidant and loyal retainer, Katakura Kojuro.

From Kai: the Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen; And Shingen and Yukimura’s dependable

ninja, Sarutobi Sasuke.

From Eichigo: the general, Uesugi Kenshin and his adoring ninja, Kasuga.

Further, thanks to the appeals of the Vagabond of the Maeda clan, Maeda Keiji,

Chosokabe Motochika from Saigoku and Mori Motonari both

heeded the call and the siege of the Oda clan was complete.

You finish this.

I shall, though it may cost me my life.

With the hearts and minds of the states behind

them, Masamune and Yukimura defeated Nobunaga.

With Nobunaga’s death and the wealth and might of the

country behind him, the Despot King, Toyotomi Hideyoshi,

along with his strategist, Takenaka Hanbei, sought world

domination and once again the land was plunged into turmoil.

With Masmune, set on making a comeback having been once defeated

by the surprising power of the Toyotomi, heading for Osaka,

and Yukimura, setting out on an expedition to Saigoku on

Shingen’s orders, having caught wind of the Toyotomi plot,

they were both moving to defeat the Toyotomi,

though their paths may have differed.

They both walked the paths they believe in, overcoming trial after trial.

And then, just as the Toyotomi army headed complete its dominion of the land,

Mori Motonari, who had formed an alliance with the Toyotomi, rose in rebellion.

And Yukimura, who had allied with the Satsuma

Army amidst the chaos, took him down.

Meanwhile, in Odawara, Masamune’s brings his fight to the

death with Hideyoshi to a close, managing a narrow victory.

And with that, it seemed like these turbulent times were coming to an end,

but the destruction of the Toyotomi heralded in a third wave of turmoil.

Two of Hideyoshi’s subordinates:

Tokugawa leyasu, aiming to unify the nation with heartfelt bonds,

and Ishida Mitsunari, hunting down Masamune to avenge Hideyoshi.

Thus, with the entangled feelings of Masamune, Yukimura and the other generals,

the greatest battle of the Warring States Era was about to explode.

With the defeat of the Oda and the end of the Toyotomi Era,

countless wars brought forth untold sorrow and regret.

And that, at times, transforms the souls of

those left behind into a hell fire of carnage.

Their fates which ought to have been meager, warp, seized with uncertainty.

Here is one such soul.

Lord Hideyoshi...

Lord...Hideyoshi!

LORD...HIDEYOSHI!

The Lamenting.

His name: Ishida Mitsunari.

Let the game begin! Amidst the profusion of florid colors

Wills to fight intertwine

How numerously those bonds gush fourth from their Flags

Those that carve up the brilliance shall herald in a new age

Their lust, like a Crazy Storm, compels them to paint

A rainbow that sparkles only at night, they are

drawn to it even though it makes their hearts pound

They hold their breath in anticipation, at the mercy of each other’s eyes

They don’t budge, not even one step, as the brilliance draws near

They aimed for the heavens!

Gather! At the banquet of flowers hastening to bloom at the summit

A storm crashes through tomorrow

How wonderously those souls spring forth from their Flags

If they don’t sprint through the moment, their lives will never be set ablaze

You, who will carve up the brilliance!

Create a new age!

I shall not allow you to beg for your life.

L-Lord Mogami!

The enemy is not a great army!

Hm? What ever do you mean?

I-It’s a single man!

Hmph. Just when I thought it was a whole army, it’s just a skinny little boy.

That’s much more convenient.

A gentleman...!

is never violent!

I know all about you, my boy.

Now then, come here Ando, or whatever!

{added or whatever because it would be hard for

normalfags to realize he doesn’t know what mitsunari’s name is and is making it up}

I don’t know who you are, but let’s be friends!

As a token of our friendship, have a

Getting-to-know-you-Genmaicha!

And look, the tea leaves are aligned auspiciously!

Certainly, you wouldn’t do anything reckless when you’re

at such an overwhelming disadvantage, would you, my boy?

Begone.

Refusal is not an option.

Those that hinder me are just as guilty as he is.

W-Who’s ‘he’?

You wouldn’t happen to have come here to kill the splendid,

sly fox of Ushu, Mogami Yoshiaki, would you, my boy?

Save your shenanigans for your mustache.

W-wait!

The one I am after...!

Is me, brah.

GOOD SPIRIT!

Pretty ballsy of you to try and get REVENGE on your own, Toyotomi leftovers.

I came here to say ‘sup.

T-T-T-There you are!

I was waiting for you!

How do you like that, Yamada or whatever!

He’s my bosom buddy, the One Eyed Dragon of Oshu...

HA! Yeah right, old fart.

You’re more BFFs with tea cups than a dragon!

It’s you!

Do whatever you want to that GENTLEMAN, I’ll wait.

V-V-Violence is bad!

Lord Hideyoshi...

give me permission to decapitate this man in vengeance!

{zanmetsu, decapitate AND destroy!

Fun––if we wanna go there I suggest “decapistroy”}

Who the hell are you?

I have no name for the likes of you...!

MARVELOUS!

This is not a game!

Unforgivable...!

I shall never forgive you!

Not bad, but...

I’m Date Masamune, Head of the Oshu Gang!

And, sorry brah, but there’s only one dude in these Warring States

who can, unironically, HEAT this dragon UP!

COOL OFF!

You can’t beat me with resentment alone.

Fly your own flag, dude.

Then we can talk.

Let’s go at it, with the land as the prize.

YOU SEE?

As if I care about the likes of the land!

I desire nothing more than to end your sorry life!

If you wanna mourn General Monkey that badly, why don’t you go cry at his grave?

You... How dare a criminal insult my Lord Hideyoshi with such a churlish nickname!

KEEP IT UP!

HA!

You bastard!

Let me execute you! {this is some obsolete word for

killing someone who has committed a crime/sinned}

Unforgivable!

I shall never forgive you for your crimes!

Date Masamuneeeeee!

I should not expect anything less from my eternal rival.

It was a complete defeat, Tiger of Kai.

Thanks to you, I have spent half my life full of vigor.

You have my heartfelt thanks, Kenshin.

I leave the future of Echigo, to the Tiger of Kai.

Trust this man and devote your energies to him.

Understand?

Milord...!

Yukimura, observe well.

Some day, this time shall come for you.

Yessir!

We must part, my beautiful blade...

Farewell, Kenshin...!

Lord Shingen!

That’s-!

Sir Tokugawa... Ieyasu!?

You mustn’t sever your bonds!

Lord Shingen!

The Light of the East...

It’s you, Takechiyo.

It has been too long.

You’ve certainly grown.

I guess I have, but you are still bigger.

I am glad to see you are as healthy as ever.

You seem well too, Sanada Yukimura.

It has been ages since last we met, Sir leyasu.

I came here today with a singular purpose:

To convey my determination to Lord Shingen and to Lord Kenshin as well.

I, Tokugawa leyasu, have firmly resolved to unify

the Land of the Rising Sun with the power of bonds.

“This is the last time.”

So everyone says and so everyone believes,

but thus far we have been repeating the same actions over and over.

However, each time someone tries to seize the land,

yet another appears and the world descends into the chaos of war.

This time, I want to bring an end to this world in which those who

believe in tomorrow cannot live to see it. {this line right here

is about max length for a single line... idk how the dialogue’s gonna

be styled but I think this should be a safe 2x stack length}

Thus, you have preemptively removed your helmet and cast away your spear?

Indeed I have.

In sum, you can wait no longer for the time to be ripe.

That is correct, Lord Shingen.

To wait any longer would be tantamount to wishing for the ruin of our country.

“Waiting for the time to be ripe” would mean “missing an opportunity."

I cannot think of anything more heartening than the two

of you, the Tiger of Kai and the War God of Echigo,

bound by such deep bonds, lending me your strength hand-in-hand.
