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

A fan? What the hell?

He was as much a Samurai Trooper as the rest of us!

Are you watching, Shion?

We're looking ahead.

I promise we're gonna stomp the Divine World!

More big talk!

In that case...

you'll be facing me next.

Lady Sagume.

I've been looking for you.

What is it?

I was wondering when you mean to obliterate the humans.

I realize that the Armor of the Supreme Emperor is our true objective,

but surely you intend to remake the planet as well.

Or have you abandoned that plan...

seeing as you have no strength left to wield Lord Yatogojin's power?

You may be a messenger of the gods, but you began life human.

It appears you cannot overcome your natural lifespan.

When did I suggest I had given up on the planet's rebirth?

Cleanse this world!

This is DST Team Four!

Divine Warriors are attacking Area B of the city!

Send backup imme—

Dispatch Instructor Sanada and the Samurai Troopers to Area B.

Yes, ma'am!

We knew this was coming.

But why have the Divine Warriors concentrated in one place?

Good question. Splitting up to attack us would be more effective.

Sagume Yashima...

What in the world are you scheming?

I see that you yet retain your power.

Please forgive my disrespectful remarks.

The Human World will soon meet its end.

And as for you!

Your brief lives...

end here!

That's Gaimei's Sacred Beast Transformation.

He's fast!

The human race is ten billion years too green to challenge the Divine World!

I am the mightiest gatekeeper of the gods,

Gaimei of the Four Beast Warriors!

EPISODE XIX COLLAPSE

We awakened in the Divine World.

None of us know who we were or where we'd come from,

but we felt a powerful bond between us.

It was Lady Sagume who showed us the way.

She did more than feed, clothe, and shelter us.

At times, she protected us like a mother.

At times, she expounded nature's laws like a teacher.

She gave us our roles as the Four Beast Warriors.

And most importantly, she always cared deeply for this planet.

So...

She must have her reasons for intervening in the Human World!

You're full of it.

You and Sagume aren't "emissaries of the gods"!

You're just murderers...

My weapon will freeze you from the inside out, sapping your strength.

Unless you defeat me, your organs will soon succumb.

Oh, yeah?

Time for the Supreme Emperor.

Of course. If we can end the fight fast enough...

I'm in.

Supreme Art: Void of the Five Skandhas!

Supreme Art: Vigor and Vitality!

Supreme Art: Unparalleled!

Supreme Art: Light Beam Flash!

Supreme Art: Mind Clear!

You take the Four Beast Warriors too lightly!

The Armor of the Supreme Emperor isn't cutting it!

You wear the armor of a god!

No human could ever master its power!

Heavenly Art:

Hail!

Gai!

Gai!

I only want the armor. Your head, I'll crush.

Who goes there?!

You're looking awfully pathetic!

The Ten Warriors!

Did you manage to learn your Supreme Arts?

Regrettably not.

That aside, you're in quite a predicament.

Yeah. Watch out for his weapon.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Hey, you guys!

Is there something else?

The rest is... up to you.

Save everyone. Save the world...

We're counting... on you.

Their lives will be fully extinguished soon enough.

I'll make you suffer the same fate.

Allow us to show you the fruits of our training.

Sasuke, he's all yours!

On it!

So the Ten Warriors truly are among the initiated as well.

In that case...

I will face you in earnest!

Heavenly Art: Ice Blade!

I wonder how Gaimei is faring.

Shimei.

Lady Sagume?

Stay still, damn you!

Hey, does something seem off to you?

Now that you mention it, I haven't been feeling myself.

Cold, cold...

It can't be.

Finally noticed, have you?

Those blades of ice have the same effect as my weapon.

Shimei, can you swear your loyalty to me?

But of course.

I love you, Lady Sagume.

I am prepared to give my life for you at any time.

I have a request I would only make of you.

Name it!

Might as well fill my stomach while I watch your miserable ends.

I've been saving this for a special occasion.

I'm frozen from the very marrow of my bones...

Colder, even colder...

This is seriously where we're gonna die?

Were we mistaken after all?

Damn it. Why can't I beat you?

It's not about winning or losing.

This is training to unleash your Supreme Arts!

We would have unleashed them by now if we could!

Kill! Kill!

How many times do I have to tell you to ditch the anger and hatred?

Maybe you just suck at teaching, meathead gorilla.

Who're you calling a meathead gorilla?!

What do they have that we don't?

Can't sleep?

You too, huh?

Me three!

I guess we're all thinking the same thing.

Yeah, yeah.

What the hell are we doing?

We just went from demon to human, and now they expect us to be heroes.

And just look at us.

Beat black and blue...

Maybe we've chosen the wrong path.

If anyone says we're weaker without Shion,

we'll be able to hear him laughing from the afterlife!

Yeah, I'd rather not!

He trusted me to do enough for the both of—

Rein it in! We can all get stronger together.

Right.

Okay! Let's try that again.

What?! We're not done yet?

So they train us by day and train themselves by night?

It appears we haven't taken this seriously enough.

Yeah.

All right!

See that, Yamato?! We win!

Victory! Victory!

I said this isn't about winning and losing!

Learn your damn Supreme Arts already!

Still, something in their faces has changed.
