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

Has it been three years?

Shion! Fall back for now!

Are you nuts?!

You expect me to abandon them?!

Ryusei!

Ryusei! The demons are attacking!

You want to recruit that demon?

He's human. And the jewel glowed red.

Then he must be...

You can't be serious about making Gai a Samurai Trooper.

I am.

With proper guidance, he'll be an emissary of Fire like Mr. Sanada.

I think, anyway.

A PERSON CUTS AHEAD OF YOU IN LINE. IS IT OKAY TO HIT THEM?

I don't understand! I just don't get humans!

Take it easy.

What's this song?

It's getting me all fired up!

Right?

It's called "Samurai Heart."

Hey.

I've been meaning to ask. What're those marks on your shoulders?

Oh, these? I inherited them from my role model, the Trooper of Fire.

Fire is more my thing, though.

When you become worthy of being a hero, they'll appear on you.

I'm... fine...

In what universe?

You can barely even stand.

If we win, you quit being a Samurai Trooper.

We don't need an old fart slowing us down!

Those sound like fighting words.

Ryusei?

Ryusei!

They got me.

Those stupid brats!

It's not like that.

This is their way of showing kindness.

Where are they now?

Fighting demons with Shion.

Samurai Troopers can't unleash their full power unless all five stand together.

But if he's with them...

Dad!

You mean that's...

The Demon Emperor...

Ramaga!

EPISODE V SADNESS

To think that my own child would betray me!

Don't give me that crap! You only see me as your next Puppet!

It is a son's duty to sacrifice himself for his father.

And it's that mindset that rubs me the wrong way!

Huh? Why'd it go boom?

Was that Ramaga's sorcery, or what?

What's wrong? If you won't come to me,

I'll reach you.

Damn it! Hypnosis?

Guys! Wake the hell up!

Won't you kill them?

Did losing your power reduce you to human on the inside as well?

Damn it. Your stupid faces are pissing me off even more than usual.

This fight is over.

Anti-Magic Bullet!

What the...?

What happened to us?

Ryusei...

Now, who's ready to strike back?

Ryusei, you idiot!

You're already way past your limit, so why push it?

Because he promised Ryo.

Ryo? From the original Samurai Troopers?

Ryo Sanada, the emissary of Fire.

He passed the baton to Ryusei.

But Ryusei's element is Light. Why would the emissary of Fire choose him?

I think that Ryo sensed something in Ryusei.

And so he entrusted the future of the Samurai Troopers to him.

Ryusei has been sacrificing himself to live up to his expectations.

How can that man dispel a supreme art?

Could it be...

I guess old men really do get up early.

I was so worried about my problem students, I couldn't sleep.

Did you break the spell on us?

Yeah. It was a gamble, so I'm glad it paid off.

I mean, I wasn't affected anyway, but yeah.

You were totally under their control. Probably the worst of anyone.

What'd you say?!

Why didn't you attack us when we came at you?

Hurting you guys would only weaken our side.

You're still a terrible liar.

And you're still a pain in the ass!

Nah, if anyone's a pain in the ass, it's you!

Oh, you've got a point.

What?!

Hey! Enough with the chitchat!

Run!

Why didn't you tell me about the poison?

I'm not good with words.

Bull. You're in no shape to fight.

You're not fooling anyone.

I love the Samurai Troopers, same as you.

Is that a dig? Are you being sarcastic?

Maybe I'm jealous.

Doesn't this seem weird to you?

Huh?

He ought to know we can dodge at this range.

Now that you mention it, this isn't like him.

Sasuke normally goes for a head-on fight.

That's it!

Yamato! Use your secret art!

Huh?!

Just like that?! Easy for you to say!

JUSTICE

Secret Art: Geo Morph!

Whoa! That's the first time it worked!

I see. So that's what the invisible walls really are.

Hey! Are you gonna just ignore my debut secret art?!

I saved your butts! The least you could do is say thank you!

Thanks.

Nice one.

Props.

I want proper thank-yous! And Gai, all you did was nod!

You'd better not think that wall will save you!

Yeah! Yeah!

Looks like Kaito's right.

You're strangely determined not to get out of position.

Explosive Thunder Attack!

Now!

Oh, man. All because Sasuke's crew got out of position.

So the Ten Warriors really were behind it.

I call it "Operation Move the Ten Warriors and Bust Through the Barrier"!

Well done. But the true battle is yet to come.

Anti-Magic Bullet!

Take this!

Did you imagine your petty tricks would fool me?!

No, I didn't!

When did he—

This is the end!

Think again!

You call this dull knife the Sword of Domination?

Don't make me laugh!

Shion!

Shion said the Jewel of Conquest and Sword of Domination were "Sacred Treasures."

That's right. When the Three Sacred Treasures are assembled,

the Armor of the Supreme Emperor is supposed to appear.

The what?

A legendary set of armor only the Samurai Troopers can manifest,

said to banish any evil.

So does this mean Ramaga's invading to stop them from summoning said armor?

I suppose...

Ridiculous.

To think you dared face me with such a paltry imitation...
