Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers (鎧真伝サムライトルーパー)

Ramaga!

You told me you wouldn't invade so soon!

Did I?

If you wish to save your friends, do as I say.

Ryo...

What should I do?

I have your son.

Gai will choose to become a Samurai Trooper in order to defeat me.

Guide him well.

Kaito Uesugi, Yamato Hojo, Musashi Hojo, and Shion Ishida...

I've assembled the team you asked for.

Nasti!

The demons took Mirei!

Try anything funny and I'll put you back in the storeroom.

I know.

Ramaga, can you hear me?

What is it?

I hear you've captured Mirei.

She has nothing to do with this.

Release her.

Even though she looks like this now?

Is that... Mirei?

EPISODE XI RETURN

Wow.

So this is the might of the Armor of the Supreme Emperor.

Sorry,

but we have to keep going!

Mirei...

Rest in peace.

Zealous Flash!

Mirei!

It's just like with Ryusei.

I ache like crazy right here.

So do we.

I commend you, Gai.

Truly, you are worthy of becoming my Puppet.

Cut the crap!

Ascend those stairs.

I await you in my keep.

You okay?

Yeah.

That took a lot out of us.

We've got to go anyway.

What a bunch of dum-dums. No way they're winning in the shape they're in.

I bet they think it's worth risking their lives trying.

What's this? Sticking up for the enemy?

If the prince and his pals pulled off the supreme arts, the woman would go free.

Wasn't that the deal?

The situation changed.

But as a result, the Armor of the Supreme Emperor is now complete.

So what?! That makes everything okay?!

Yeah! Yeah!

We have a duty to obey Emperor Ramaga's commands.

Could you say the same thing to our fallen comrades?

Tell me, is our fight worth risking our lives for?

Children,

it's time you prepared for the show.

I see.

They even got Mirei.

I bear responsibility.

We will review your conduct once the Demon Outbreak has been dealt with...

assuming that day ever comes.

The Samurai Troopers are our only hope.

I was dubious about entrusting Japan's future to children at first,

but not anymore.

I'm proud of those boys.

We're the ones who're gonna save

the citizens of Tokyo, Japan, and the world! Like wham!

You guys got that?

Don't look at me.

I guess that's fair. You wouldn't know about doing the right thing.

Hurry up and become a superhero like me before—

Cockroach!

What?

It's just a Gubbarjo.

You and your demonese!

That's obviously a cockroach!

Wait, "Gubbarjo"?

Where have I heard that before?

Man, you look like a Gubbarjo!

Hold up! You mean you were calling me a cockroach?!

I mean, it fits, right?

Yeah.

It does not! Don't you encourage—

You don't have to force it.

Huh?

We all know losing Mirei's hardest on you out of all of us.

I'm not forcing anything.

Problem?

Nah. Like Yamato said, I still don't get what doing the right thing really means.

Me neither.

The more I fight, the less I understand.

For now, let's beat Ramaga.

That's what's right for us.

Yeah.

In the fifteen years since your birth,

how I have longed for this day...

Skip the stupid intro.

Don't be so hasty.

At least allow me to summon my guests.

Commander!

I'm sorry, everyone.

I know I should be ashamed to face you and that I have no right to speak to you.

But please, defeat Ramaga!

I don't need you to tell me that.

Now get up already.

I can handle the likes of you seated.

Okay, adding fuel to the fire!

Oath of Righteousness, emissary of Fire!

RIGHTEOUSNESS

Armor of Heat!

Try some of this!

What?!

Boys...

That didn't always have a bell on it, did it?

No.

Ryo gave it to me.

So this is the government's demon-fighting HQ, huh?

Isn't it silly, me being in charge of it?

No, you're the perfect choice.

Here.

To celebrate your new job.

It has the same properties as that monk's staff

that saved us from so many scrapes.

Keep it as a charm.

Thank you.

Ring that bell,

and I'll come running anytime.

So I've continued to ring this bell,

hoping the staff's power would bring back Ryo's soul.

Then that's why you kept working and communicating with Ramaga?

If Ryo awakens, we can separate his body from Ramaga and guard

the Armor of the Supreme Emperor.

That was my hope.

I wondered about that irritating ringing sound.
