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!

Meetings and partings (Yes! Yes!)

In the direction the sun rises (Yes! Yes!)

Now, let's move forward, one step at a time, as each flower blossoms (Oh, yay!)

"Touken Ranbu Hanamaru S2"

Rather than be anxious, yes, it's better to believe

Always rich in mind and spirit, staying positive every day

Real strength is how we master what we each

Already have

If you try to rush virtue

It won't go well at all

Think as you look up at the sky

Step forward firmly, with assurance

Ready, set! Ready, go!

In a Hanamaru way

Laugh and cry

Without reserve

Under the bright, sunny sky

When you reach

The next street

Start walking again, one step at a time, as each flower blossoms (Oh, woo!)

Hey, Master, today's snack is zunda mocha.

I'm leaving now.

Kara, you eat with us, too!

"This anime is about the stories of the Hanamaru days

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

Kikkou-dono, do you have business in Master's room?

I thought I'd talk with the master for a bit.

Hello, I am Kikkou Sadamune.

"60 - Uchigatana, Kikkou Sadamune"

I'm a sword passed down in the family of General Tokugawa.

My current name comes from

an engraved crest with the appearance of a kikkou, or tortoiseshell.

And you are?

"61 - Uchigatana, Sengo Muramasa"

I am Sengo Muramasa.

Yes, the Muramasa also known as the "bewitched sword."

Rather than a greeting, shall I undress?

Don't strip!

That's why you're misunderstood!

I don't mind. Let them say whatever they want.

I'm fine. I believe what's under a person's clothes should stay hidden.

Too bad.

Well then, excuse me.

You again? Master needs to begin today's work.

Don't get in the way.

Then I will sit beside the master and gaze upon them.

That's not what I meant...

Are you a new Sword Warrior?

My name is Sengo Muramasa.

He is a Muramasa sword, like me.

In other words, I'm part of the Muramasa family.

I'm Heshikiri Hasebe.

I am Master's attendant.

Master's attendant?

I tidy up around Master so they can be comfortable,

"No wasting money!!"

sometimes helping with work,

sometimes telling everyone Master's orders.

In addition, I perform other duties to help Master in my important and honorable job.

"Herbs"

Master, how's your work coming along?

Hey, you! What are you doing without permission?!

Excuse me.

--If you need anything, feel free to order me to do it. --Hurry up and--

Listen, Muramasa.

Be careful not to do anything that would cause trouble for Master.

I understand.

Tonbokiri, we've got an expedition.

Get ready.

Very well. You should learn everything else from Kashuu-dono.

Roger that.

Kashuu, the expedition this time is on the long side.

Oh yeah?

I'm leaving the citadel to you while I'm gone.

Roger. Have a nice trip.

While he's gone, I will be the master's attendant.

Where did that come from?

Sounds interesting!

I would like to run for that position, as well.

Muramasa, you too?

Don't you think that to fulfill such an honorable position

so soon after coming to the citadel would make me a legend?

No, being Master's attendant isn't really like that--

Therefore, I will do it.

No, I will not yield.

Although I am a newcomer, no one is more attached to the master than I.

It is a duty that I should perform.

Then, let us have a contest!

-Kashuu, will you referee our contest?

--Kashuu-san, will you be the referee for our contest?

What?

We must create a good environment for the master to be in.

So first, we should clean.

It is important to have both body and possessions in good order.

Cleaning must be quick and neat.

Whoever finishes wiping to the end of the hall first wins.

We'll call this the "Fastest Wiper First Contest"!

Very well.

"Mr. Spick-and-Span the Second" "Concentrate"

By the way, what is this?

It is Mr. Spick-and-Span the Second!

Apparently, it is a wonderful product that allows you to clean and polish at the same time.

That's amazing.

Then, in order to clean everything up faster, let's use a lot!

"Concentrate"

Wait! You don't need much--

We're all ready.

I'm getting excited.

Okay then, here we go!

Ready...

...go!

I'll be going ahead.

Whoops!

I will be going ahead!

I have blundered.

I'm not finished yet.

I won't lose!

And then, Nihongou was like--

Oh?

B-Big Brother!

I'm going through.

Excuse me.

S-Stop me...!

Everyone, are you all right?

"Draw"

Well? What's next?

Male warriors must have endurance,

and there are times when they must clash in the buff.

This contest combines the two--

I call it the "Hot, Hot Endurance Contest"!

"This contest can only be undertaken by Sword Warriors because of their training. Please do not try this at home."

Oh, really.

Sorry I'm late.

What are you wearing?

I don't really like to show any skin.

Also, even if I might be at a disadvantage for wearing this,

it won't give me an advantage.

Well, that's true.

I am naked, but I won't go easy on you.

Everyone has one or two secrets to hide.

I-I see...

I can't take it anymore. I'll be outside.

You're pretty good.

But aren't you at your limit?

No, I've become even more excited.

"Coffee Milk"

I heard a weird sound. You guys okay?

"Draw"

Are you two really okay now?

Sorry for making you worry.

I'm completely fine now.

What shall we do for our next contest?

What, you're not done yet?

That's surprising!

What are you doing?

I'm showing everyone magic tricks as I practice.

It's amazing!

He makes things appear from empty hands and can tell what I'm thinking!

Even watching up close, I can't tell how he's doing it.

Then next, I'll escape from a rope.

Please put that towel over my hands.

Is this okay?

Yes! Okay, here I go.

Ta-da!

You didn't tie that very well.

You must tie it more firmly.

Then, let us do this next.

We each tie someone here up, and whoever's knots aren't untied will win.

What kind of contest is that?

I see.

Just in case someone gets into the master's room,

we can see who would be able to tie up the intruder the fastest.

That's right. It is important in times of emergency.

I call it the "Binding Hand and Foot Contest"!

This will be the final contest.

Let's decide things.

That's just what I wanted!

I'm finished.

I am, as well.

Now, let's have...

...an honest contest!

Oh? I have been tied up.

So I just need to untie this?

Yes, but it won't be easy--

Wha--?!

That's surprising!

How did you do that?

It's a se-cr-et.

I'm not as adept as Nikkari-dono, but...
