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

The Sword of Domination's taken over Gai!

Shion!

Did I... make it?

Sorry I couldn't finish you off.

Humans really get me fired up.

You had me worried there, you dopes.

Jun, are—

Do you have a moment to spare?

Be careful when you use the Sword of Domination.

We can't deal with you going berserk and turning on us again.

Give it a rest, would you? I told you I get it already.

What?!

N-Nothing to see here.

Keep your voice down!

You asked Mirei out? When?

When we were practicing supreme arts.

You mean that time she got falling-down drunk?

So, what'd she say?

Wh-Where's the enemy? Did those chickens run for it?!

She shot you down, huh?

Sh-Shut up! I'm gonna keep trying!

Wherever you are, bring it on!

Huh? What's this?

They match the colors of our armor.

Late, I see.

I nearly died of boredom.

Dad!

I shall subject you to a trial.

You are each to enter a door alone.

Like hell! Stop wasting our time and get out here!

Perform your supreme art and I will face you.

What was that?

We do need to master our supreme arts to invoke the Armor of the Supreme Emperor.

But you expect us to just play along?

You will once you've seen this.

Mirei!

Guys?

Huh? Wait, what's going on?!

Get this crap off me!

What do I have to be tied up for?!

I tie people up, not the other way around!

At least she's well enough off to rant about her fetishes.

Put a sock in it!

I can handle myself! You guys focus on your own—

Mirei!

Be quick about it, or who knows what may befall this woman?

What should we do?

We've only got one choice.

We wipe the floor with my dad

and take Mirei home.

EPISODE X SACRIFICE

Nasti!

The demons took Mirei!

Huh?

What the...?

Where am I?

No way. How?

What's going on?

This is our orphanage.

Yama!

Musashi!

What are you doing here?

Don't ask me! I came from over that way and wound up here.

Are the other guys around too, then?

Pick 'em up.

The only ones in this world...

are you and us.

I know those voices. You're from the Ten Warriors!

Granny!

I'm sorry to say that was an illusion.

I heard this world's based on your memories.

Aren't you...

Kamanosuke, in the flesh! Let's have us some fun.

How does it feel, revisiting your demon self?

Dad's Sorcery, huh?

Your supreme art requires the spirit of Righteousness.

That entails compassion for your parents and comrades.

I bet that means squat to you.

After all, you've never felt...

a parent's love!

Yamato Hojo!

Explain to me the spirit of Justice!

Shove it! How should I know?!

Moron!

What is Justice if not humans as they ought to be?!

Musashi Hojo!

Explain to me the spirit of Faith!

"Faith" as in trust? Or like the religious kind?

Moron!

What is Faith if not humans free of deceit?!

The Wisdom for which you are being tested

hinges on your ability to discern right from wrong.

How do you intend to overcome this battle?

The best way to beat you demons

is to outmaneuver you and master my supreme art!

Hey, hey, Ishy! You know what the spirit of Grace is all about?

Respecting others, right?

Oh, I knew you were smart!

But if you know that and still can't pull off your supreme art,

that proves you can't put it into practice!

I'll ask you again!

For what reason do you fight?

Shut up!

We're obviously fighting for what's right!

And what do you think is right?!

We're going to defeat you demons and bring back peace!

Even if it kills us,

we know it's the right thing to do!

Self-sacrifice, hmm?

If you consider that good,

then you truly fail to comprehend the spirit of Wisdom.

What has that infantile justification made of your world?

It's about time you realized

that there wouldn't be so many victims if you guys weren't a total disaster!

You call yourselves samurai without bothering to learn the samurai spirit,

instead devoting yourselves to paper-thin notions of "what's right,"

and this is the result!

If you wanna play hero, go do it somewhere else!

How can you save anyone when you don't know the first thing about what's right?

Look at you failing to save one lousy woman right now!

You can't protect anyone as you are.

What's wrong with you?

What do you think Nezu and Kakei died for?

They were sacrificed because of you!

Your body stole their powers to become the ultimate Puppet!

So what is this?

How are they supposed to rest in peace now?!

Is that...

Mirei?

Isn't this that song...?

The one she was singing then?

Not a bad song choice.

But if she wanted to cheer you on, she's too late.

Wanna bet?

Sure, I don't know jack about Righteousness or doing the right thing.

And of course my dad never loved me that I can remember,

so I don't even know how to spell "compassion."
