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

Armor of Wildfire!

Ow...

Who knew the sky was so blue?

This pain is a step toward changing tomorrow.

In your dreams, maybe.

If you still have strength to talk, I guess you can go another round.

Seriously?!

Ryo!

Do you have a moment?

The barrier around the Demon World is about to break.

A new Demon Emperor may have emerged to replace Arago.

All right. We'll go see.

Twin Fire Slash!

A tolerable vessel.

Who's there?!

Demon Emperor Ramaga.

I have come to claim your body!

Ryo...

What's Mr. Sanada doing there?

You know him?

He's one of the original Samurai Troopers.

Yama! Isn't that guy...

Yeah, no doubt about it.

He's our hero!

Ryo! It's me!

Nasti!

Save your breath. His personality is no more.

Ryo Sanada... He made for a fine vessel, but the years have taken their toll.

And I'm gonna be your next Puppet?

Gimme a break!

Don't give yourself airs, whelp.

I need better than you can offer right now!

Gai, you turn fifteen today.

To celebrate, I will give you a chance.

Is that...

Henceforth, we will make our headquarters in this Demon Castle!

EPISODE VI RESTART

A Demon Castle?!

I grant you seven days' reprieve.

Use that time to make yourself a Puppet worthy of me

or to find me another Puppet to take your place.

Fail me, and I will raze this country to the ground.

I shall lend you the Sword of Domination.

This should prove amusing!

Still, it would be a shame to retreat without doing anything.

Yeah! Yeah!

What're you blabbing about?!

You want another piece of me?!

You mean you didn't even realize we went easy on you?

You can't hold a candle to us!

Yamato! Musashi!

I've seen all I need to of your moves.

You pieces of—

You don't stand a chance without your demon powers.

Enjoy your last seven days alive as best you can.

Confirmed survivors alone have reached 110,570 people.

We need to move them to evac sites and government shel—

First, explain the castle!

And what's this about destroying the country a week from now?

We have a way to avert it.

It's another reason we need the Samurai Troopers ready for action once more.

This again?

We have a plan,

and a secret strategy to make them stronger than ever.

Mirei.

Oh, Commander.

Look at these. They all came out awful.

I would've taken at least one good one if I'd known he was going to die.

Okay, enough's enough! Time to shift gears!

Ryusei would laugh at me!

You don't need to force yourself.

Same to you, Commander.

Mr. Sanada being Ramaga's Puppet must really be weighing on you.

I'm fine.

Speaking of, this is really bugging me.

Why would Ramaga go to all this trouble and then decide to wait a week?

Good question. But it does give us an opportunity.

I'd like to ask a favor of you.

I feel totally defeated.

Ryu wound up dead, our hero is Ramaga,

the Ten Warriors are wicked tough...

We don't have a chance in hell, do we?

People do... just die, don't they?

Seeing Ryu pass with my own eyes finally brought that home for me.

I haven't been able to stop shaking since.

Me neither.

My fear won out over my hatred and my anger.

Yeah, but it's not like we can just run away either.

What'd be so bad about running?

Seriously?

I mean, we're still kids, right?!

So why should we have to deal with this crap?!

Quitting and getting badmouthed for it is better than dying!

Musashi...

Then let's all quit together.

What'd you just say?!

I don't want to lose any more comrades.

What the hell is wrong with me?

If you ever hesitate to kill a Puppet, try out this program.

It'll put you face-to-face with your problems.

GAI'S PERSONAL SIMULATION VER 1.32 START

Isn't this place...

How dare you kill us?!

It's you guys!

We'll make you suffer like we did!

The Samurai Troopers are... in your hands.

No way, no way, no way!

The heroine's not supposed to die like this!

I don't see any heroines.

Shion!

This is great!

Anything's "great" compared to the DST's terrible coffee.

Ryusei liked the way it tasted.

I assume you didn't come here to sample the coffee.

We need your help.

Sorry, but I won't take Ryusei's place.

Of course not. No one's asking you to.

You're you and nobody else.

The commander asked me to give you this.

A final present from Ryusei to you.

What will Gai do if we all quit?

He'll fight on his own. His life's on the line.

I wonder.

Huh?

What's he groaning about?

He's having a nightmare.

What's this?

You'll pay!

There you are!

You killed us like we were just mannequins!

I had a family that meant the world to me!

Why me?

I just happened to be there.

You're...

The hell're you doing?

Guys!

This simulation makes virtual enemies from your memories.

Why do this to yourself?

Ryusei told me I should.

That jackass left me one hell of a farewell gift.

It's made me realize something crazy.

Humans do nothing but destroy the world.

That's what my dad taught me, and I never doubted him.

But when I watched Ryusei die...

It hurt like somebody was squeezing my heart.

I've never felt that way before.

It made me think... maybe every life I took made someone else feel like that.

Gai...

So this is your way of taking responsibility?

It's not like I think it'll change what I've done!

But you still had to put yourself through it.

What the—?!

Emergency! Emergency!

Intruder on board! Initiating emergency stop!

Intruder on board! Initiating emergency stop!

Locating intruder with all due—
