Uesugi army Opening Video

(Between the ceiling and the roof of a mansion, the captivating Kasuga is sneaking in. Her eyes shine with killing intent. She spies Kenshin, who is writing something. Kasuga jumps down and draws closer to Kenshin, seemingly unaware of her presence.)

Kasuga: Uesugi Kenshin...I shall take your life!

(As she is about to strike, Kenshin smoothly turns towards her, his "bishie power" maxed out. Kasuga, love at first sight. Roses for her too. Kenshin smiles at her, puts down what he was writing and stands up. Kasuga backs away, and Kenshin walks towards her, his arms spread open wide. Kasuga, backing away, readies her sword)

Kenshin: I do not know whose hand controls you, but...

(Kasuga ends up with her back against the wall. Kenshin puts his hands on the wall, surrounding her.)

Kenshin: Truly, I feel as if your blade pierced my heart... The blade your beautiful eyes wield with such skill...

(Kasuga is hopelessly lost in him. She drops her sword. She falls against his chest, and moans in Kenshin's embrace. A spinning circle of roses is formed...)

ENDING VIDEO
(The Uesugi flag flutters among dancing cherry blossoms. Kenshin stares at his drinking cup, and a petal flies inside it.)

Kenshin: The tumultuous world is now gone... The one man to bring me down...has not appeared... Even that Shingen has...

(Kasuga looks at him, worried)

Kasuga: Ha..!

(She leans towards him, without thinking, but doesn't know what to say. Kenshin looks at her. Kasuga sits back properly, a bit flushed.)

Kenshin: ....let us simply say that the end of the tumults was a good thing, then...

(He gulps down his liquor)

Masamune Chapter 5

Chapter 5


Narrator: Date Masamune had finally settled his bout with the Toyotomi army.

To confront again Sanada Yukimura, finish what could not be ended at Ueda castle that day, and settle their duel, Masamune rode into the battlefield of Kawanakajima, where the Takeda and Uesugi armies were facing each other.

Masamune: That one's been settled, Kojuro..

Kojuro: Lord Masamune..

Masamune: Well, it's high time we ride into Kawanakajima!


Title: Intrusion! Battle of Kawanakajima

[Event at the start of the Stage]
(Outside Kawanakajima, in a forest)

Masamune: Weird..it's awfully quiet.

(Kojuro arrives in a rush)

Kojuro: Lord Masamune, Sanada cannot be seen anywhere!

Masamune: Hum, then..let's go smoke him out of his den!


[Stage starts]
Masamune: Sanada Yukimura... That guy will come out, no matter what. Until then make me kill some time, you two!

Shingen: You're the Date youngster, aren't you..

Kenshin: Life, rushing towards death's precipice... This, too, is divine will..


[During the Stage]
Kenshin: Heh..The battlefield is becoming chaotic..

Shingen: Did you think of snatching the victory taking the advantage of our battle, One-Eyed Dragon?


[Fight against Sarutobi Sasuke]

Sasuke: Now it's pretty crowded, mind going back home?

Masamune: I've only got business with that man... Where is he?

Sasuke: That's a sec-ret!

Masamune: Out of the way... A mere ninja of the Takeda isn't worthy of consideration!

Sasuke: Heeeh, I get it.. Just now, I started disliking the boss..

Masamune: Tell this to Sanada Yukimura.. In this battle, my only objective is you!

Sasuke: Strong-willed as always, I see..if that's how it is, pray for me not to die!

Masamune: Ha! Do your very best and survive, ok?

Sasuke: Our commander is scary if you anger him, you know? Since he's having the fight with the War God, which he waited for ages..

Masamune: What's up, you want my head, right? Come at me determined for a fight to the death!

Sasuke: At this time, the Sanada boss might be attacking Oshu, you know?

Masamune: Ninja, you suck at jokes...shut up for a sec!

Sasuke: Heey, now that's really rude!


[Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin appear]
(Shingen and Kenshin are fighting a close duel)

Masamune: Aren't you two having fun!

Kenshin & Shingen: Ha!?

(The two raise their heads, and Masamune jumps down attacking, cutting between the two. The three's weapons grind against each other and emit sparks, and afterwards Shingen and Kenshin step back. Masamune readies his swords into a stance.)

[Fight against Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin]

Masamune: Oops, sorry sorry, did I interrupt something?

Kenshin: One-Eyed Dragon!

Shingen: Why you! So you really came, little boy!

Masamune: I will be the one that conquers the country! Not anyone of you!

Shingen: Ridiculous! Barking like this is something a mere dog can do too!

Kenshin: O vehement dragon! You are a man fit to cross swords with!

Masamune: Alriight, it wouldn't be fun if it wasn't like this!

Masamune: Ha! What's wrong, your legs aren't moving!

Shingen: Damn you..brat!!

Kenshin: O dragon, prepare yourself!

Masamune: Shit!(*) You're no joke at all, War God!

Masamune: As expected from the Tiger of Kai, as expected from the War God! Both real powerful!

Kenshin: You too, even if enemy praise is in order..

Shingen: It looks like taking you lightly is not good, heh..


[Shingen defeated]
Shingen: Yukimura..you didn't make in time, after..all..

[Shingen and Kenshin defeated]
(Masamune, having defeated Kenshin and Shingen, stands still on the battlefield.

Scene change - Yukimura, hearing the news of Shingen's death, wails loudly and screams at the sky.)

Yukimura: WOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooohhh...

(Yukimura arrives at Masamune's location, and their eyes meet)

Masamune: So you're there..Sanada Yukimura.

KASUGA
For Lord Kenshin

OPENING VIDEO


(In a dark forest, on a tree...Kasuga closes her eyes, as to focus her energy..then she opens them all of a sudden! She bends her upper body backward, and shuriken fly through her pigtails. She then jumps away, avoiding the enemy shuriken barrage. She jumps from branch to branch, the shuriken chasing her. Once she lands, above her she finds the enemy! Which is swiftly taken care of.)

Kasuga: I am that man's sword.. That man's enemies... I will eliminate them all....!!

Chapter 1
Narrator: The Toyotomi army that appeared in this riotous world.. because of the rise of a new power, boasting massive military strength, the power relations between the various armies came to a standstill, and temporarily the flames of war ceased to rage.

However, the one who broke this equilibrium, having planned the invasion of the Uesugi territories, was the leader of the Honganji head temple; Honganji Kennyo.

Kenshin, judging that this had to be stopped, advanced towards the Honganji.

Kasuga: Honganji Kennyo..This is unforgivable!!


Title: Honganji Invasion


[Stage starts]
Kenshin: To come and strike my home base.. Sir Honganji, greed has blinded your vision..

Kennyo: Gahaha!! Financial power is what triumphs over all, this's how this world works! I just did what's natural to do!

[When the Uesugi soldiers take the money Kennyo gives out and switch sides]

Kenshin: So even a strong heart cannot match gold's shine? Ooh, Lord Bishamonten..!

Kasuga: Lo-Lord Kenshin...!! Damn you Honganji Kennyo, you're nothing but a vile coward!

[Fight against Honganji Kennyo]

Kasuga: Honganji Kennyo, prepare yourself!

Kennyo: I will dye this world in a single golden colour! The Uesugi's domain is simply the first step!

Kasuga: A man driven by lust like you..is unforgivable!! To think you attempt to invade the untainted Lord Kenshin's domain..!!

Kennyo: Moron! If you're untainted you couldn't even eat, you know! Untainted is only for temples and stuff like that!!

Kenshin: For someone like you to speak of Lord Buddha.. is something I cannot possibly allow!!

Kennyo: Gahaha! Uesugi!! Penniless beggars like you should keep their mouth in check!

Kennyo: Penniless beggars, bow before me! Before these muscles who fear no god! Gahaha!

Kasuga: Ghh..do-don't get any closer! You're a disgusting sight!

Kennyo: What!! Can't you understand this beauty!?!

Kasuga: I'll send you to the other world right now.. Until that, at least recite a prayer..

Kennyo: Moron!! I don't know anything of stuff like that!!

Kasuga: ...then go count your money or something!!

Kennyo: I can buy someone to replace you anytime.. Uesugi too has the same intention! Gahaha!!

Kasuga: It-It can't be true! Such a thing can't...!!


Chapter 2


Narrator: Not a moment after stopping Honganji Kennyo's invasion, to Kenshin came the piece of news that Hojo Ujimasa, the one in control of the Odawara region, was planning to betray their alliance.

Kenshin, extremely suspicious about this, ordered Kasuga to scout the Hojo.


Kenshin: My beautiful sword..do sound out the Hojo's situation.


Title: The Hojo's Betrayal
[Stage starts]

Kasuga: Hojo..have you really betrayed Lord Kenshin...!?

[During the stage]

Kasuga: Hojo is a gutless man, he isn't capable of such bold actions.. Something smells here...

[Fight against Hojo Ujimasa]

Kasuga: Hojo, why have you betrayed that man? If you don't talk..I'll kill you!!

Ujimasa: Shiieee!! Yo-yo-you are U-Uesugi's ni-ni-nija!!

Kasuga: You're the one who wanted a pact formed between he two provinces!

Ujimasa: Bu-but if it was up to me..!! I didn't want to do this, I didn't!!

Ujimasa: I had no other choice!! I've been instigated by that man..

Kasuga: That man!? Damn you, it can't be that you've been threatened!!?

Ujimasa: Yes, I've been threat..no no no!! Wha, what's all this about? *hums a tune*

Kasuga: Talk..who's standing behind the scenes?!

Ujimasa: I can't say that!! You-you understand, right?

Ujimasa: Shieee!! What a fast and agile ninja!! My vision has quite aged, my head spiiins...!

Ujimasa: Damn you, Uesugi ninja! I just slipped a little, and you've gotten so conceited!


Chapter 3
Narrator: The truth that came floating to the surface thanks to the Odawara castle infiltration... It was the existence of someone behind the scenes pulling
the Hojo's strings. However, days passed without being able to confirm this person's
identity, until one day Akechi Mitsuhide's sudden proclamation of war came flying to Kenshin.

Kasuga: Lord Kenshin! the Akechi army declared war to our camp!!


Title: The Akechi's Proclamation
[Stage starts]

Kenshin: Who has instigated the Hojo?

Mitsuhide: Instigation? What is this about?


[During the stage]
Mitsuhide: Sir God of War, it must be tough for you too. Because of that man such a thing has happened... Hehehe..

Kasuga: That man!? Who are you talking about??

Mitsuhide: Ooh..It seems I have indulged in chatting too long..


[Fight against Akechi Mitsuhide]
Kasuga: Damn you...just what are you plotting? Are you too someone else's puppet!?

Mitsuhide: Hehehe..I simply want to enjoy myself.

Kasuga: Honganji, Hojo..are you bastards all comrades??

Mitsuhide: It's quite a problem to be associated with such rabble..

Mitsuhide: It appears that you dislike killing people.. Since you can't avoid it anyway,
it'd be better if you enjoyed it more..

Mitsuhide: Please discard such thoughts as "I might as well die". Because killing such a person does not provide the least joy..

Mitsuhide: So the God of War's sword too sheds blood..hehehe..

Mitsuhide: Phew.. The banquet for the God of War might as well be closed... I've grown bored of it.

Chapter 4

Narrator: Even the Uesugi army showed signs of exhaustion after repeated declarations of war by many seemingly conspiring armies. Kenshin, judging this atmosphere of unrest as an urgent situation, ordered Kasuga to gather information at the capital city.

Kasuga: Lord Kenshin! I shall be back soon!


Title: Information Gathering at the Capital
[Stage starts]
Kenshin: Honganji, Hojo, Akechi.. This thread must be tied in one place.

Kasuga: I shall find out the truth at all costs and present it to you, my Lord!

Keiji: Yaawn...what's all the ruckus?


[During the stage]
Keiji: What, isn't that Kenshin? What have you come here for?

Kenshin: Ooh, Keiji! You come at the right time.. There's something I want to ask you.

Keiji: Something you wanna ask? Well ok, I'm waiting here.


[Fight against Maeda Keiji]
Keiji: Quite the gorgeous kunoichi has come, I see! Well, what's that you wanna ask?

Kasuga: I only want information..I mean no harm.

Keiji: Information..Do I know of anything..? Or not..?

Keiji: A bunch of guys suddenly started attacking Kenshin's place, right? Rumor has it that there's someone behind those events..

Kasuga: You bastard..what do you know exactly...!

Keiji: Yeah well, win against me and I'll tell you!

Keiji: As I thought, love's power is awesome!!

Kasuga: I-I just..for that man..!

Keiji: Hahaha, that's love, you know!

Keiji: People determined to the max like you...I like them. It's good, betting one's life on one's feelings...

Keiji: You're strong, sis... Maybe even more than Sister Matsu?


[Winning against Keiji]
Keiji: I broke up some nice sweat, sis!

Keiji: Takenaka Hanbei.. That bastard seems to be plotting Kenshin's fall. For the Toyotomi, the God of War is a problematic existence..

Kasuga: Takenaka...Hanbei.


Final Chapter
Narrator: The one plotting schemes to bring the Uesugi to ruin, and pulling the strings of forces of many regions from behind the scenes, that was the Toyotomi army's strategist - Takenaka Hanbei.

Kenshin, enraged by this cowardly conduct, advanced with his soldiers to Takenaka Hanbei's base, Inabayama castle, to settle everything.

Kasuga: Only you...I shall not forgive, no matter what!

Title: The Sword of Life
[Stage starts]

Kenshin: The life heaven gave you ends here.. Takenaka Hanbei, it is time for you to fall into earth's spires!

Hanbei: As expected from the God of War.. Honganji, Hojo, Akechi..you managed to defeat them all.

Kasuga: Only you..I'll never, ever forgive you!!


[During the Stage]
Kasuga: Takenaka Hanbei, tell me why! Why have you acted so..!!

Hanbei: It's all for the Toyotomi's sake. For Hideyoshi, the God of War is a nuisance.

Hanbei: For the God of War, you are just another ninja. Nothing more or less than that...

Kasuga: Th-that's...!! But....!! As long as I can be at that man's side, that's fine!

Hanbei: A ninja's destiny is to be thrown away, once the tumults end..

Kasuga: Lord Kenshin is not such a person..!!

Kasuga: Not yet...I can't be defeated yet!! I will die only after making sure that man is safe!!

Hanbei: Won't you explain to me..? Why do you proceed towards death?

Kasuga: I, I....

Hanbei: You want to die, right? It's your wish to die for the God of War, or am I wrong?

Kasuga: Sh-shut your mouth!! Silence!!

Kasuga: I will defeat you!! Even at the cost of my life..!!

Hanbei: That's what differentiates us. I will not die..for Hideyoshi's sake.

Kasuga: For..Hideyoshi's sake..?

Hanbei: I'll ask one more time, do you want to die? I'll listen to your answer later..directly from your mouth..

Kasuga: Lord Kenshin..I want to protect you.. I want to see with my own eyes the country you will build..

[Takenaka Hanbei enters the scene]

Hanbei: So, can you answer now?

(Kasuga, without a word, readies her stance. Her heart is surprisingly calm)

Hanbei: So that's your answer..very well. I have no intention of facing people willing to die. For the sake of the things we mean to protect, let us stake our life!

[Fight against Takenaka Hanbei]
Kasuga: I will live! Live, and protect that man! I will defeat you..and go back alive!

Hanbei: To protect someone and die... Is an exceptionally moving story, but.. I cannot admit such a thing.

Kasuga: Come at me with your full power! Yet I will not die! I'll show you that I will live!

Hanbei: Of course..I cannot die, no matter what.

Hanbei: Me and you have a reason to fight..that is sufficient.

Kasuga: I am not just a sword destined to break! I will keep protecting Lord Kenshin, and become a strong sword!

Hanbei: Sir God of War..I might have underestimated you too much..

Kasuga: I have no more reason to die! But only reasons to live!!

[Hanbei defeated]
Hanbei: Strong, indeed..the will to live, that is...

(Hanbei falls, and Kasuga whispers softly to him..)

Kasuga: I...thank you.

Nouhime vs Kenshin

Chapter 2


Narrator: Nouhime and Ranmaru, after freeing themselves from the insurrectionists' hold in the northern lands, resolved to pass through Kasugayama in order to hasten to the Honnoji.

That way, however, was blocked by its local warlord, Uesugi Kenshin the God of War.

Nouhime: Ranmaru, we must break through at any cost!


Title: The steep road ahead
[Stage starts]

Kenshin: A lost child has come, I see.. A lost child walking towards the land that leads from this world to the next..

Ranmaru: Lord Nobunaga isn't dead!!!!

Nouhime: Ranmaru! Don't get swayed by his words. Our Lord...there's no way he's dead!


[During the Stage]
Kenshin: I see, so you are directed to the Honnoji... Yet you will not pass here.

Nouhime: If that's how it is, I will open the path by force!


[Fight against Kasuga]
Kasuga: I'm sorry, but you won't pass here.. The Demon king has died..and it's better that way.

Nouhime: It's not certain at all that he's dead! Even if I have to dye myself with your blood, I will pass here!

Kasuga: Why, why do you fight..? Your reason to fight should have gone already!

Kasuga: Withdraw! The origin of the worsening of this riotous world has gone already!

Kasuga: Stop acting strong like that..!! That's not necessary anymore..!!

Kasuga: To fight for Lord Kenshin..is my happiness. But you are different! You look so much in pain..

Nouhime: My feelings...cannot be understood by someone like you!

Kasuga: Child of the Demon King, you too will end without killing anyone anymore.

Ranmaru: Shut up!! Lord Nobunaga isn't dead!!

[Kasuga dies]

[Fight against Uesugi Kenshin]
Nouhime: I can't fall in a place like this..!! The road is still much, much long and steep..!

Kenshin: Demonic beings shall return to the earth... this is how it is. To be destroyed above the earth is heaven's decree.

Nouhime: That man is not dead! You may rejoice now, while you still can!

Kenshin: Such empty words do not work with me... That is just empty pity..

Kenshin: O butterfly flying without destination.. Let me lead you to the other world..

Kenshin: Once its petals scatter, the flower becomes dust.. Yet the butterfly, without thinking, is entranced nevertheless..

Kenshin: Give up now.. When evil beings are destroyed, the heavens shine with glee.

Shimazu vs Kenshin

Chapter 1

Narrator: With his spirit burning in anticipation for a rematch with Honda Tadakatsu, Shimazu wandered the land looking for strong opponents. The first place he visited is the Kasugayama Castle, home to the famous "God of War" Uesugi Kenshin.

Title: "Great Man" Versus "God of War"
[Stage starts]

Kenshin: Ooh..there is a fierce one here. So be it, I shall overcome your challenge.

Yoshihiro: Arra, I have no use for weaklings like youse! Let only those who have confidence come and get me, yeah!?

Kenshin: To be cut through so deeply... It appears that I have no choice but to enter the scene.

[Fight against Kasuga]
Yoshihiro: A ninja as opponent..interesting! Come on, will ya!

Yoshihiro: The ninja protectin mr. God of War... pretty strong, so she is.

Yoshihiro: Ooh, ninja skills sure are interesting..

Kasuga: You have no time to just stand there looking at me! Careful that your neck doesn't get snapped, Demon Shimazu!

[Kasuga retreats]

[Fight against Uesugi Kenshin]
Yoshihiro: Well mr. God of War, have a bout with me, yeah?

Kenshin: Tenderness often stands for an example of power.. I shall crush you with technique.

Yoshihiro: Press, advance, cut! That is the true essence of the sword!

Kenshin: See through, dodge, cut... that is yet another form of the sword.

Yoshihiro: Mr. God of War, youse are strong as they say, so youse are!

Kenshin: You too, sir..may you always be brimming with spirit.

Kenshin: In war strategies are common things.. Sir Shimazu, you understand that...

Kenshin: Sir Shimazu's fighting style is exceptional.. Thus, I too shall surpass the normal ways.

(Continuing to fade-out)


Chapter 1
Narrator: In Kawanakajima, the flag of victory could not be raised by either Takeda Shingen or Uesugi Kenshin. Shingen, who headed again to Kawanakajima, was bent on settling that very day his battle with Kenshin; thus he assigned Sanada Yukimura, who was to lead a separate force, with a sure win strategy to crack the Uesugi army's rear.

Yukimura: Noble House Lord! Let us go to battle to Kawanakajima now!

Shingen: Hm..yet with the God of War as enemy common strategies are not enough! Yukimura. I shall assign you with a strategy.

Title: Kawanakajima River Crossing Battle
[Event at the start of the stage]
(Takeda main camp. Yukimura is about to go.)

Shingen: Yukimura, I will assign you with a separate platoon. Show me how you will admirably pierce through the Uesugi army's rear!

Yukimura: Yessir! I, Yukimura, shall do it at all costs!

(Yukimura runs off)

[Stage starts]
Shingen: Uesugi Kenshin, let us settle our bout! Soldiers, do not fear the War God! Advancee!

Kenshin: Prepare for battle! This is the final bout! Let us strike down the Tiger of Kai!!

[During the Stage]

Shingen: In this battle, a separate platoon is necessary.. Yukimura, you absolutely must not let the God of War be aware of your presence..

Yukimura: Yessir! Please leave it to me, Noble House Lord!

Yukimura: Wooooooh!! Noble House Lord! I, Yukimura! Having been charged with this great assignment, am fierily burning!!

Shingen: Yukimura, do not lower your guard... wait for the right chance!

Yukimura: Ooh, Noble House Lord! We are pressuring the opponent!

Shingen: Yukimura, do not grow conceited! The battle has yet to be decided!

Kenshin: Everyone, if you feel you reached your limit do retreat immediately.

Shingen: Hn..Uesugi, you're strangely fighting conservatively.. Or is it a strategy...?

Yukimura: Ooh, Noble House Lord! Our victory is imminent!!

Shingen: Do not rush ahead, Yukimura! Wait for my instructions and do not stand out!

Shingen: God of War! Here and now, I challenge you to a duel!

Kenshin: I was looking forward to this reprise. Tiger of Kai, come at me!!

[Fight against Kasuga]

Kasuga: Tiger of Kai..I won't let you proceed farther! Prepare yourself!

Shingen: Oh..a ninja bearing great loyalty.. Very well, try and stop me then!

Kasuga: Tiger of Kai..why do you attack us?? A bastard like you, it'd be much better if you didn't exist..

Kasuga: Only you..no matter what, I'll..

Shingen: Hn..have you let yourself be taken hold by emotion? Your cutting edge has dulled!!

Shingen: So you placed a ninja here, Uesugi Kenshin.. Hehehe...not a bad formation.

Kenshin: Can you break through, Takeda Shingen? Through my beautiful sword, hehe.

Shingen: What's wrong, Uesugi ninja? Come at me with the strength you still have left!

Kasuga: What powerful pressure... so this is the one that man recognizes as his equal..! No, I won't accept it..I'll never accept it!!

[Uesugi Kenshin enters the scene]

Shingen: I was granted to face you like this again.. This is quite the bond..isn't it, God of War!

[Fight against Uesugi Kenshin]

Kenshin: For us to face each other, is destiny..

Shingen: Then I will ask you..who will emerge victorious!

Kenshin: Only the heavens know that!!

Kenshin: Tiger of Kai..how fiery you are. Yet I shall break those fangs!!

Shingen: To defeat you means advancing one step further towards the country's conquest!

Kenshin: Raging like the wildest storm.. Indeed, you are the man I recognize as my equal.

Shingen: Uesugi Kenshin, become a stepping stone for my advance to the capital!

Kenshin: It shan't go like that, hehe..

Kenshin: Battling against you.. It appears to me like an endless dream..

[Shingen calls for Yukimura's separate platoon]

Shingen: Now is the time Yukimura! Come!

Yukimura: No, Noble House Lord!!

Shingen: Hn!? What happened, Yukimura!

[Meanwhile, the separate platoon is..]
(In another place, Yukimura is fighting Kasuga)

Yukimura: My humblest apologies! I have been reduced to such a shameful state..!!

(Scene changes back to Shingen and Kenshin)

Shingen: Nh! You had already seen through it, Uesugi Kenshin??

Kenshin: He who holds great courage must also be finely careful..now our situation is even..

Shingen: Splendid! For today, let us call it a draw!


[Shingen retreats immediately]

Shingen vs Kenshin - Kawanakajima again

Final Chapter

Narrator: Shingen defeated Nobunaga after a cruel battle, and felt that the moment sworn on that day had come. After completing the preparations, Shingen set his aim on Kawanakajima to settle his duel with Uesugi Kenshin. Shingen contemplated silently that all battles fought until then were for the sake of this moment..

Shingen: This moment came at last... for me, the greatest opponent..

Title: Battle of Kawanakajima - Sky
[Event at the start of the stage]
(Shingen is sitting inside the main camp, Yukimura and Sasuke near him. The mist is progressively receding, and the sun begins to show itself. Shingen stands up energetically)

Shingen: Let's go! This is the final decisive bout!!

(In the Uesugi camp, Kenshin is standing elegantly)

Kenshin: So you have come..


[Stage starts]
Kenshin: I have been waiting for you, Tiger of Kai..

Shingen: Today will be the day when a decision will come.. Until one of us falls in Hachimanbara*!!

Kenshin: Let us wait.. In the stage of this fleeting dream..here I come!

[During the Stage]

Shingen: Defeating you will mean that my advance to the capital will be before my eyes!

Kenshin: Now is a moment I want to spend with you..

Shingen: Fuhaha, let's go War God!!

Shingen: Rapid like wind!! He who advances first will be in control!!

Kenshin: Devotion of heart and soul.. What these eyes see is just one thing..

Shingen: Silent like a forest! Get in formation and advance!!

Kenshin: Even a fool, if he produces effort, can move a mountain! Soldiers, do not give up!!

Shingen: Aggressive like fire!! Pressure them relentlessly!!

Kenshin: O mountain of corpses, drowning in a river of blood... disappearing firefly's flames.. May the Great Buddha be your guide.

Shingen: Unmovable like a mountain! Do not fall back, stand strong!!

Kenshin: Furinkazan..to command such power..!!

Kenshin: Takeda Shingen, I challenge you!

Shingen: Precisely what I wished!!

[Fight against Kasuga]

Kasuga: Now I have just my duty as sword to perform.. Tiger of Kai, even if I have to fall with you, I..!

Shingen: Nh!! so you came here, Uesugi ninja!

Kasuga: In that man's eyes, only you are reflected.. Why, a bastard like you..why...!!

Kenshin: Sword!! Do not go further than that!!

Kasuga: I will! Please allow me to, Lord Kenshin!! Even if this will become the last spark of my flame..!

Kasuga: I am not afraid of death!! What I fear..what I fear more than that...

Kasuga: Lord Kenshin...this is my last battle.. Please, watch me...!

Kenshin: To lose one's life, a moment's sparkle.. Aah, my sword...!!

Shingen: Uesugi ninja, your spirit is commendable!! Your heart's disposition shall be delivered to the War God, without fail!

[Uesugi Kenshin enters the scene]

Shingen: It's a mystery..my heart is at peace. Before such a decisive battle..

Kenshin: Thoughts that travel from heart to heart.. Truly, that is what it is...

(Both of them point their weapons at each other)

Kenshin & Shingen: Here I go!!

[Battle against Uesugi Kenshin]
Shingen: Let's go, Kenshin!

Kenshin: Come, Shingen!

Shingen: I've been waiting for this moment, Uesugi Kenshin!!

Kenshin: The destiny tied with yours, in the three worlds..** How nostalgic... I wonder how many times we have met, until now..?

Kenshin: As fast as wind, as quick as lightning! Bishamonten's protection resides within me!

Shingen: Interesting, let's settle this!!

Kenshin: Go forth, towards the land where gods and buddhas rule!

Shingen: I, Shingen, will become a tiger that will dominate over heaven and earth!!

Shingen: Two great heroes cannot stand together..God of War!!

Kenshin: Until I breath my last..I shall be your opponent.

Kenshin: A plot only gods could devise..this too is heavens' will. ...thus, may the gods be my witness!!

Kenshin: In this cruel world, only now... Let us partake of this instant of beauty..

Shingen: So you wish for a competition of pure strength! Interesting!!

Kenshin: Let me send you an endless embrace.. Tiger of Kai...sleep, until the end of time.

Shingen: You will be the one to fall asleep, God of War!!

[After defeating Kenshin]
(Kenshin has fallen. Shingen is at his side.)

Kenshin: Splendid, Takeda Shingen..that was a wonderful attack.

Shingen: Hm, yours too...

Kenshin: Let us meet again, in the next world...

(Shingen stands up without a word)

Notes:
*Hachimanbara is the name of the location where the 4th battle of Kawanakajima took place.

** The three worlds can stand for past, present, future, or the past world (where one was before being born), the present world and the future world (the otherworld)


ENDING VIDEO
(Scene is Kawanakajima. Shingen stands still.)

Shingen: Uesugi Kenshin.... Your manner of waging war was commendable. I, Shingen, shall never forget about you..

Yukimura (off screen): Noble House Lord!!

(Yukimura and Sasuke appear)

Yukimura: Noble House Lord!!

Shingen: Uhm! Now we shall head towards the capital!! Hnn!!

Kenshin - story mode

UESUGI KENSHIN

Destiny! The Battle of Kawanakajima - Heaven
OPENING VIDEO

(Kenshin and Kasuga stand in the wind. Kasuga walks forward and speaks, while Kenshin has still his eyes closed.)

Kasuga: Lord Kenshin... If it goes on like this, we will be caught in a pincer attack.. It's a matter of time.

Kenshin: Not yet..

(Light shines from Kenshin, and a path of light is formed. Scene changes to a great multitude of soldiers. The Uesugi army seems to be on the losing side. Kenshin charges forward on horseback)

Kenshin: All soldiers, charge!! Let us break through the Takeda army's center!

(Scene changes to Takeda Shingen's camp)

Messenger: Uesugi Kenshin is charging through the army, alone!

Shingen: Hn! Very well! If you have to come, then come! You shall be greeted by the Takeda style at its greatest!!

Kenshin: Takeda Shingen! I challenge you!!

Shingen: Precisely what I wished!

Shingen: Come!!

(Shingen and Kenshin fight at high speed, blowing away the soldiers around them)

Kenshin: Let it end here for today..

Shingen: Mh!!

(Kenshin retreats, galloping away)


Chapter 1
Narrator: The dominance over Kawanakajima was divided between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen. Having sworn a rematch, Kenshin once again sends his soldiers into Kawanakajima, intending to cross swords with Shingen.

Kenshin: Takeda Shingen...this time we'll settle this.


Title: Direct Attack! Kawanakajima
[Event at the start of the stage]
(Uesugi camp. Kenshin draws his sword and points it skyward.)

Kenshin: This time indeed, I shall strike down the Tiger of Kai! Bishamonten's protection rests upon me!

(Scene changes to the Takeda camp. Shingen holds his command fan over his head.)

Shingen: Show the God of War the full power of the Takeda army!!

[Stage starts]
Kenshin: Tiger of Kai..the time has come to decide who, between us, excels the other.

Shingen: It is unnecessary now, but I will ask you nonetheless.. why do you wage war against me?

Kenshin: That's..destiny decreed by the heavens!

Shingen: Then let me bear witness to that heavenly decree, or whatever it is!

[During the Stage]
Kenshin: Soldiers, follow my lead!! Our aim is the Tiger of Kai, just that man!!

Shingen: I will defeat you, and grant you the honor of being a stepping stone to my entry into the capital!!

Kenshin: A formation where not one soldier is rendered useless.. "Castle walls no strike could faze"... this is the image it evokes.

Shingen: Heh..that's how my battle formation is!!

Shingen: I understand why you are called God while still living.. Your way of fighting is worthy of praise.

Kenshin: Heavens, what a magnificent battle..!! If I could, I would like to be immersed in it forever..

Kenshin: I am coming forth, Takeda Shingen!

Shingen: Woooohh!! I shall not run or hide!

[Fight against Sarutobi Sasuke]

Sasuke: Mr. God of War, I'm not too enthusiastic about defeating you.. But the master's enemies are mine too, so...

Kenshin: At least do not sullen your master's name..sleep.

Sasuke: Well well, the God of War as opponent is not child's play, huh..

Shingen: Sasuke!! Show the Takeda Ninja corps' strength, here and now!

Sasuke: Noble House Lord, please do not say such unreasonable things! The opponent is the God of War, after all!!?

Kenshin: You are full of openings, Takeda ninja!!

Sasuke: Woow, I'm being trained by the God of War himself! Maybe this way I can get stronger too?

Kenshin: Ninjas shine because they hide in the darkest night.. Before light, they can only perish.

Sasuke: As expected...from the man the Noble House Lord's hung up about..

[Battle against Sanada Yukimura]

Yukimura: Sir Uesugi! Please, grant me a match!

Kenshin: Move out of the way, you cannot possibly defeat me.

Shingen: Yukimura, learn from the God of War!! And then surpass him!!

Yukimura: I will, no matter what! I, Yukimura, shall surpass this man!!!

Kenshin: Man who inherited the Tiger's spirit... Know well how immature you are.

Yukimura: Woooh!! Such skill...!!! Sir Uesugi is indeed the Noble House Lord's destined rival!

Kenshin: Young tiger, you cannot see heaven's will, can you...

[Takeda Shingen enters the scene]
(Kenshin calmly appears before Shingen)

Kenshin: Tiger of Kai...I've been longing too meet you again.

(Kenshin unsheathes his sword, and holds it as in prayer)

Kenshin: Let us go..and start this bout.

Shingen: Wooh!!

[Fight against Takeda Shingen]
Kenshin: I am simply seeking... a moment of beauty with you...!!

Kenshin: The tortuous bond that connects us... Have we fought in another existence, too..?

Shingen: Hehehe..no matter what existence, the victor will always be I!!

Kenshin: Bishamonten is the War God.. Let us present him the Tiger of Kai as offering..

Shingen: Fuhaha!! I should have expected this from my destined rival!! Even facing against me, your expression hasn't changed at all!!

Kenshin: Why do I go seeking you..? Crossing our swords, I want to perceive this reason..

Shingen: Me and you are different this much... Yet we call to each other this much!! What a delight!!

Kenshin: Among the many concealed mysteries of life... the battlefield is indeed truth.

Kenshin: This is why you are called Tiger.. The fangs of the Takeda are quite the sharp things...

Shingen: That cutting edge...ooh, interesting! Kenshin, there are plenty things to be learnt from you!

[During the fight]
Kasuga: Lord Kenshin!!

(Kasuga runs in as to separate the two)

Kasuga: It's a message of exceptional urgency! Both the Oda and Toyotomi armies have started attacking us!!

Kenshin: ...thus, I must withdraw for a time!

Shingen: Hn, this bout is postponed!!

Kenshin: It shall continue, definitely...!!

(Kenshin withdraws)

Chapter 2

Narrator: In the midst of battle, Kenshin received news that both the Oda and Toyotomi armies were executing plans of invading the Uesugi domain, and thus was unable to finish his duel with Shingen.

Trying to put away his great regret, Kenshin decides to return to Echigo at full speed - but his path was blocked by the One-Eyed Dragon Date Masamune at Hasedo Castle.

Kenshin: We'll just pass through.

Title: Defeat the One-Eyed Dragon!
[Stage starts]

Masamune: What are you hurrying for, Mr. God of War?

Kenshin: A black shadow is drawing close to the people... Move out of the way, or I won't have pity!

Masamune: Just for your information, you can't just pass by in front of me...

[During the stage]

Kojuro: Lord Masamune, what's the meaning of this battle..?

Masamune: I happened to meet the God of War...just that.

Kojuurou: Well, you're really hopeless..

[Fight against Katakura Kojuro]
Kenshin: This is recklessness, dragon's right eye.. Why do you wish to make sparks of life scatter thus..?

Kojuro: I would have wanted to meet you on another occasion, if possible.. Not in a strained situation like this.

Kojuro: I'd wanted to drink sake at least once with you..

Kenshin: Heh...the heaven realm is so cruel at times...

Kenshin: It looks like you do not reflect it.. The image of your loss, that is..

Kojuro: Yeah... I can't see anything but Lord Masamune's victory.

Kojuro: Gh..how fast! And sharp, too!!

Kenshin: I have no intention of wasting even one instant..

Masamune: What's wrong, Kojuro!? And you call yourself my right eye? If it's you, fighting evenly with the God of War should be possible!

Kojuro: If you say such a thing, then, I cannot allow myself to lose, isn't it..

[Fight against Date Masamune]

Masamune: Ookay, let's do it God of War.. I want to see your real strength with my own eye..

Kenshin: Then look at it carefully, this strength I possess!!

Masamune: I can see it, behind this eyepatch! The image of you losing against me!

Kenshin: Heavens, grant me protection!

Masamune: It's useless!! The heavens are just a path for dragons to walk on!

Masamune: Such a cool(*) expression... what're you thinking about, God of War?

Kenshin: My mind is serene and clear as a mirror... nothing more.

Masamune: So I'm nothing in your eyes? This conceit will cost you your life!!

Masamune: The old man Demon King, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi too.. We're the same in that we don't dig neither of them, right?

Kenshin: It is natural for sworn enemies to be defeated...

Masamune *whistle* We agree, then..

Masamune: Ha! You're quite something...
the "War God" title isn't just some decoration..

Kenshin: O dragon, scatter without leaving shame on your name!!

Chapter 3
Narrator: Having succeeded in deflecting Date Masamune's pursuit attack, Kenshin resumed his way to Echigo. But what he saw in the middle of the way was the sight of the army of the Demon King of Owari, Oda Nobunaga, attacking innocent peasants.

Possessed with great rage by this act of violence, Kenshin ordered an attack without hesitation to protect the people.

Kenshin: What cruelty! I cannot forgive this!

Title: The Conquering of the Demon King
[Stage starts]

Kenshin: Ooh, what is this..? Such deeds cannot be allowed!!

[During the stage]

Kenshin: Why do you bring death to a populace without sin?

Nobunaga: I have time to spare..our prey is you, God of War.

Kenshin: What vile conduct!! This land is protected by the Lord Buddha!!

[Fight against Mori Ranmaru]

Kenshin: The demon child..are you too part of the Demon King's kin?

Ranmaru: Hey you, quit making such a smug face!!

Ranmaru: What's this stuff about "war god"? You're just full of yourself!

Ranmaru: Ranmaru will defeat the war god!!!

Kenshin: For a demon child to talk about victory... how foolish...

Kenshin: For you, servant of the Demon King, there can be no peace.. Suffer for your sin in the otherworld...

Ranmaru: Tch...whaaat's with this guy, he's making me lose my rhythm!!

[Fight against Nouhime]

Kenshin: O butterfly smeared in blood.. Darkness is eating away at your wings.

Kenshin: The sin of casting one's hand on populace without sin.. O butterfly, I'm sure you can understand that..

Nouhime: To serve Lord Kazusa no Suke is my duty!!

Nouhime: Lord Kazusa no Suke came personally to this faraway place!! Think it as an honor!!

Kenshin: To serve a demonic being.. How pitiful..I cannot comprehend your thoughts.

Nouhime: D-don't talk as if you saw right through me!!

Kenshin: Butterfly, you can flutter about in the sky no more.. To rot away here could be, rather, considered good luck..

Nouhime: I have no need at all of your compassion!!

Nouhime: Noble Father..give Kicho enough strength to defeat the God of War...please...!!

[Fight against Oda Nobunaga]

Kenshin: Demonic being, this land will see your end..

Nobunaga: Go, prattle on, God of War..!!

Kenshin: O man carrying deeds of evil.. The depths of the Hades fit you the most.

Nobunaga: The Hades is my own possession!!

Nobunaga: These worthless beings are so much important to you..?

Kenshin: Absolutely..the people are creatures of Lord Buddha.

Nobunaga: Fuhaha!! Don't make me laugh!

Kenshin: Your deeds.. Even if Lord Buddha may forgive them, I will not!!

Nobunaga: God of War..whatever do you wish to accomplish?

Nobunaga: Go and pile up stones beside Hell's river...* That's an activity that fits you, God of War!!

Notes:
* Piling up stones beside the netherworld's river is the punishment given to children who died before their parents. By piling up stones they are supposed to build a pagoda to honor their parents, but a demon comes to knock the stones down whenever the pagoda is near completion.

Basically, Nobunaga's calling Kenshin a brat.

Chapter 4
Narrator: Having defeated the Oda army and protected the peasants, Kenshin decided that he had to defeat the reason for the suffering of the people of Echigo: the powerful Toyotomi army. Thus, he marched onto Inabayama Castle, where the general and genius tactician Takenaka Hanbei resided.

Kenshin: Bishamonten's blessing is by my side!

[Stage starts]

Hanbei: Exactly as I predicted, sir God of War. I thought you would definitely come attacking this place.

Kenshin: Then you should be able to see your destination too.. Fall into eternal sleep, by my hand!!

[During the stage]

Hanbei: Your army is exhausted from the battle with the Demon King. That is the opening I will strike through.

Kenshin: To make use even of the Demon King..

[Takenaka Hanbei enters the scene]
(Many Toyotomi soldiers surround Kenshin)

Hanbei: My plan has born fruit. You have no way of escaping now.

Kenshin: Hm...so this is where I die...

(That very moment, the Toyotomi soldiers start to get blasted away one by one)

Hanbei: What's this!?!

(Takeda Shingen, smacking away the soldiers, shows himself!)

Shingen: Nuuuuoooohhh!!!

[Fight against Takenaka Hanbei]

Shingen: Takeda Shingen is here! Kenshin, I will assist you!

Kenshin: Ooh...Takeda..Shingen..!

Hanbei: This is absurd! Why is the Tiger of Kai here!!?

Kenshin: Oh, the strange vicissitudes of fate... I give you my thanks!!

Shingen: Hahaha! I don't need thanks, Uesugi Kenshin!

Hanbei: I cannot understand! Why is this!

Shingen: I will be the one to defeat Uesugi Kenshin!

Hanbei: Ridiculous..such overly ridiculous emotions! You have chosen the wrong strategy, Takeda Shingen!

Shingen: Let's focus noow!! Rout the Toyotomi!!! The battle that will see us as opponents is awaiting!!

Kenshin: Heh..exactly as you say, Takeda Shingen! To welcome again the time of our decisive bout!

Hanbei: Let it be like this then...! I will beat down both the Uesugi and the Takeda, right now!! My plan has shaken a little, but it's possible to fix it!

Shingen: You're a man not to be taken lightly, Takenaka Hanbei!

Hanbei: I think the same about you, Takeda Shingen! I would never have thought that you would appear here..!

[After defeating Hanbei]

Shingen: God of War..I didn't do it for your sake... let's meet again soon.

Kenshin: At Kawanakajima..

Shingen: I'll be waiting!!

(Shingen leaves without turning back. Kenshin watches him leaving.)


Final Chapter
Narrator: Who saved Kenshin from certain death at Inabayama Castle was no other than his eternal enemy Takeda Shingen. With the words he left behind and the promise to cross swords once again, Kenshin headed to the Battle of Kawanakajima.

Kenshin: Each moment seemed like an eternity... but finally the time has come. Let us fulfill the promise of the other day. It's time to meet you, let's go!

Title: Final Battle! Kawanakajima
[Event at the start of the stage]
(Kasuga appears beside Kenshin, and kneels down.)

Kasuga: Lord Kenshin..I have spotted the Takeda army.

(Kenshin nods and holds his sword in front of him.)

Kenshin: All soldiers, charge!!

(Takeda camp. Shingen is sitting, waiting.)

Shingen: He's here..!

[Stage starts]
Shingen: I've been waiting, Uesugi Kenshin!

Kenshin: To complete the bout with you.. In other words, the greatest wish will see completion!

Shingen: Let's make today into the greatest banquet! It'll be a real feast, God of War!


[During the stage]


Kenshin: To fight you again... Fleetingly, I have been longing for it..

Shingen: Only for today, I will leave the country in the second place!! Let us create a battle that will remain engraved in history forever, God of War!!

Kenshin: Raise the sacred flag of Bishamonten! Entrust me with all of your sacred lanterns..*

Shingen: Defend with the crane's wings formation! Stop the Uesugi army's advance at all costs!

Kenshin: Tiger of Kai, let me thank you again.

Shingen: If it's about what happened at Inabayama castle, it needn't be mentioned!

Kenshin: At Inabayama, why did you come as reinforcements for me?

Shingen: Hehe..at Kawanakajima we promised the bout'd be postponed. You couldn't possibly have forgotten, right?

Kenshin: Of course not..the words exchanged with you.. Have been engraved in my breast.

Shingen: Just for today, I have not refined my strategy or schemes! Me and you, let us do a battle of pure strength!

Kenshin: Then, the final bout between us two, alone.. Until one of us will reach his destiny's final destination...!

Shingen: I challenge you, God of War! I, Takeda Shingen, stand and fight!!

[Fight against Sarutobi Sasuke]

Sasuke: Well then mr. God of War, this time I can't lose! 'cos ninjas aren't allowed to lose twice, ya know..

Kenshin: You are prepared then..come at me!

Kenshin: This sharpness...is not bad at all.

Sasuke: I sure can't challenge you with with an half-assed disposition, can I?

Shingen: Sasuke! Show me the ninjas' way of life!!

Sasuke: Understood commander!...I'll have it end here!

Sasuke: Defeating you will probably make Kasuga sad, huh.. But this is war...!

Sasuke: Well well, the God of War as opponent is quite tiring!!

Sasuke: To lose and keep living long is a ninja's worst disgrace..

Kenshin: Why do you challenge an opponent beyond your limits?

Sasuke: Ninjas don't choose their job..that's how it is. To defeat unmatchable foes is a ninja's job, ya know..

[Fight against Sanada Yukimura]

Yukimura: My heart has changed since that day.. Sir Uesugi, I am not the same Yukimura as before!

Kenshin: Ooh..you sure have gained good eyes...

Yukimura: That defeat's taste.. I, Yukimura, shall never ever forget it!

Kenshin: An heart completely pure... how true these words are now. Young tiger, you certainly have become stronger.

Yukimura: To confront again sir Uesugi.. How much have I been waiting for this!

Yukimura: Sir Uesugi's destined decisive battle.. Forgive my impolite interference, Noble House Lord!

Shingen: That is good! Now just attack with all your strength, Yukimuraa!!

Shingen: Yukimura! This is a good chance to recover the honor you lost!

Yukimura: Woooohh, Noble House Lord! Please, watch me!!!

Kenshin: Let us light your departure lantern... To guide your burning soul....

[Takeda Shingen enters the scene]

(Kenshin and Shingen confront each other,still not unsheathing their weapons.)

Kenshin: For this moment, who has come again..I thank you.

Shingen: The heavenly decree you speak about... I think I have understood what its meaning is.

(Both point their weapons at the opponent; the signal for the battle to start)

Shingen & Kenshin: Here I go!!

[Fight against Takeda Shingen]

Kenshin: Here I come, Shingen!

Shingen: Come, Kenshin!

Shingen: Fuhaha, your manner of fighting is superb, God of War! For this rematch, I have tempered my spirit's blade to the fullest!!

Kenshin: Heh..that is the same as I.

Shingen: Defeating you practically means my advance into the capital will be complete! Thinking about it, it's a path that started and ended with the God of War..

Kenshin: No...the dream has not ended yet!

Shingen: God of War, listen well to my soul's roar!!

Shingen: I am thankful for being born in the same era as you.. Don't you think the sky's command baton has been superb, God of War!?

Shingen: I am the tiger that shall bring down the War God! What wishes for this battle could possibly be bestial instinct!

Shingen: For me, this is the day of the greatest battle, when all my existence is at stake!! I am glad that the opponent turned out to be you, God of War!

Kenshin: O Tiger of Kai, go rest on the Heavenly Buddha's lap!

[Shingen defeated]

(The two's weapons are clashing. Silence all around. The first to speak is..)

Kenshin: Everlasting cycle of returns... once again, come back to me.

(Shingen falls)

Note:
* Lantern could carry the meaning of the soldiers' souls.
