Sengoku Youko (戦国妖狐)

A dragon.

A dragon is coming.

A dragon...

A band of Katawara thieves?

Who'd have thought the Katawara could organize like that?

And when was this?

Soon after the rumored destruction of the Dangaishuu's head temple, perhaps?

Sounds like a group of small-fries to me.

Hey, Senya. You're finally up?

What?

Don't play dumb. I'm talking about you.

Senya?

Wait a minute. You're telling me you don't even know who you are?

Who... I am?

Hey. Do you know who I am?

No.

Do you remember what happened?

Nothing. Myself, you, this place, nothing.

I think I know what this is.

Amnesia.

I'm Shinsuke Hyoudou, a wandering samurai.

-And this is... -Call me Furukoke.

I'm a Katawara, but I'm not really a guardian,

and merely live here in peace with the villagers.

And your name is Senya!

Senya?

Well then...

Where do I start?

Are you okay, Shinsuke?

No, I'm not okay!

This decision is too difficult!

Alright! Got it!

I won't tell you anything!

What? Are you sure?

Yes. He's perfectly forgotten every last detail.

This is a sign from the heavens to start life anew.

What...

His life? He's just a kid...

Exactly, Furukoke.

His new life begins now.

But first...

Go play outside and make some friends!

Don't come home until you do.

What's with that guy?

Play? Make friends? How?

Who exactly are you two?

I'll tell you soon.

It's so big.

Um, excuse me...

You're awake.

Awake?

I found you and told Furukoke.

Yes.

Come this way.

It was here.

Don't you remember?

You... fell from the sky.

I fell...?

My name is Tsukiko. What's yours?

I'm...

What is it? What's wrong?

I feel like I should be more formal...

Why? Are you from a wealthy family?

I think you should speak any way you want to.

Oh... well then... I'm...

Senya...

I see. Senya.

I'm...

I'm...

I'm Senya!

Yes, I heard.

I'm Tsukiko.

Senya.

Tsukiko.

-Senya! -Tsukiko!

You're a strange one.

Hey, Tsukiko! Let's play after you finish gathering wood!

Oh? Who's that guy?

I'm Senya!

Wow...

What a weirdo.

Whatever, let's play sword fight!

-Ow... -Ouch...

That hurt.

S-Senya, try me next.

Don't be fooled! Tsukiko is the strongest in the village!

He jumped!

Whoa!

Way to go, Tsukiko!

It's amazing how high you can jump.

-Bye! -See you next time.

See you again.

Welcome back!

Welcome back.

R-Right.

I'm... back.

Were you surprised to find a Katawara in the village?

This village is friendly to the Katawara.

It sure is a great village.

The booze is great too.

So, were you able to play?

Y-Yeah.

Friends...

Play...

Sword fight...

Tsukiko...

That was fun.

I can't remember anything before yesterday.

So I started today. I was born today.

Today...

Voices...

Senya!

We've been relinquished by the dragon at last!

Now is the time to become King of the Katawara!

Remember!

We're invincible!

Invincible...

A party! A celebration!

Senya?!

Ouch...

What is this?

They took me away while everyone was sleeping.

Are we going to be eaten?

I never thought us Katawara could form a band of thieves!

The first step to establishing our own Katawara Nation!

Katawara Nation?

Well then, how about a bite to eat?

No, please!

I'm not scared at all. But why?

You look tasty!

Demon-slaying sword!

Shinsuke Hyoudou...

is here!

He's so cool!

I don't know about this "band of thieves" business,

but any Katawara trying to kidnap and eat humans

won't escape my demon-slaying sword...

When we went to snatch the kids this guy was passed out drunk.

I'm the strongest sword fighter out of all of us.

I have to protect everyone.

I... I...

You fool! That's a demon sword!

Fight me!

Stay out of this!

I came here so you kids can just be kids!

So that you kids don't have to fight!

I see! Shinsuke came here so I wouldn't have to fight.

That means...

I have...

the power to fight!

Isn't that right?

The one thousand Katawara that I saw inside me in my dream.

Let's do it, Katawara Bandits!

Let's show them the power of Hyakkiyakou!

Hyakkigattai!

Senya!

Do you remember now, Senya?

The army of a thousand within!

Sound the celebratory cannons of awakening!

Special technique!

Senkiyakou!

I...

...was born today!

Hey! Where are you?

Tsukiko! Tsukiko!

We're saved.

Dad... Dad!

-Dad... -Dad!

Are you okay?

You just vanished. I was so worried!

I know.

Senya.

Go and prepare for a journey.

Journey?
