01x24 - Gai

[bunniefuu]

Oh? You would have me rule
these piddling islands?

The other deities have decreed it so.

I will not abide it.

Please, stop this! Lord Yatogojin!

A servant of the gods
dares find fault with me?

You please me.

Sagume!

I shall begin my dominion
by destroying the land of the rising sun.

This planet belongs to me.

O gods, Yatogojin must be obliterated!

What a dreadful prospect.

Without his armor, he can be beaten!

I beg you, judge him!

Ramaga!

You deceived me!

I will not surrender this world.

I will not abide it.

I cannot abide it!

It falls to us to sustain
the Divine World from now on.

Until the day this child inherits
the mantle of the Supreme Emperor.

I will raise Gai.

You will grow strong. As I am.

And then what will I do?

My offspring is of some use, I see.

A fine hue.

Fitting for my armor.

How come?

Damn it all.

Twin Dazzle Slash!

It pleases me!

Burn!

Gai!

The armor just...

With this, your fates...

are sealed.

- EPISODE XXIV
GAI

- Heavenly Art:

- Oblivion.

Land of the rising sun,

sink beneath the waves!

This will end it.

Stop!

White Blaze!

White Blaze put himself
in harm's way... to save us.

Now it's our turn!

To think you took the force
of that light and survived...

This is impossible.

We don't have what it takes to stop him.

There's still a chance.

You believe you can defeat me alone?

Hurry up.

Gai?

Are you waiting for something?

Why do you go to such lengths
to defend humankind?

They are powerless creatures
that can do nothing alone.

They fight endless, foolish wars
and defile this planet.

They have no value.

Shove it.

So in the end, you're but another base
creature with human blood in your veins.

Your reward for restoring
the Supreme Emperor

will be a painless death!

Gai!

I see I kept you waiting, boy!

Took you long enough.

That sounds like...

Ramaga!

What is the meaning of this?

Ramaga has made himself
at home inside you.

What?!

It's the height of luxury in here.
A far cry from the boy.

Ramaga? How?

The armor, that's how.

Boy, it's me.

How come?

No time to explain.

Cut Yatogojin with the Sword of Domination
and give him the Supreme Emperor.

I'll slip inside him.

Damn it all.

Burn!

I never dreamed you would
resort to such a vile trick.

Sagume had the idea.

She entrusted you to me.

Aid Gai in my stead.

She made a vow with Shimei.

Die for me.

She revealed Yatogojin's return and asked
Shimei to imbue her crystal with venom.

Shimei poisoned herself
and died at Inmei's hand.

All to get him to swallow
her toxic crystal.

I'm here to let its venom loose!

If you unleash that,
you doom yourself as well!

If I can take you with me,
I'd like nothing better!

Curse you!

Go to hell, Yatogojin!

I will not abide it.

I will not abide...

any part of this!

Guys!

Did you imagine I would
succumb to mere venom?!

He still has that kind of strength left?

Is he seriously gonna
power through the poison?

So much for our big chance...

Are we out of luck?

Damn it!

Hang in there.

Did someone...

...just say, "Hang in there"?

You heard it, too?!

Hang in there, Samurai Troopers!

Please, save our country!

That sounded like...

Hang in there, Samurai Troopers!

Save our world!

Please!

We're counting on you!

Keep fighting!

Will everyone's voices
really reach them this way?

I put my power of Fire into
the Sword of Domination, remember?

We should be able to use our power
to reach them through the blade.

They have all these people
rooting for them?

Some part of all of us has felt like
we're fighting a lonely battle.

But that's not true.

Come on, feelings!

Get through to them!

I can hear all their voices.

Is this another perk of
sharing Gai's mental world?

So many people are cheering us on.

And now that we hear 'em,
we can't let 'em down!

We're not in this alone.

Oath of Righteousness, emissary of Fire.

RIGHTEOUSNESS

Armor of Heat!

- Oath of Wisdom, emissary of Air!

- WISDOM

Armor of Sky!

Oath of Justice, emissary of Earth!

JUSTICE

Armor of Wilderness!

Oath of Faith, emissary of Water!

FAITH

Armor of Water!

Oath of Grace, emissary of Light!

GRACE

Armor of Light!

Let's do this!

What difference will your armor make?!

Underestimate me at your peril!

He just doesn't quit!

Can't you do anything right?

Allow us to reinforce you!

That sounds like...

the Ten Warriors!

- You need this to really
go all out, right?

- This will allow you
to unleash your true power.

I know this song.

Guys...

Now this gets me pumped!

How...?

They move like different beings!

You're giving back that armor!

What?

How could a mere human
take my Supreme Emperor?

"A mere human"?

I was the same way.

I figured humans were weak,
and that was that.

But...

I've learned!

Even if each one is weak and frail,

they can support each other!

Through pain like your
heart's gonna burst!

And sadness you can't do anything to fix!

They can support each other
and come together to be stronger!

Hold your tongue!

Even we...

make plenty of mistakes!

Still...

we can reflect on them and move forward!

We... believe in people! In the future!

So we can get up
as many times as it takes!

We won't let any hurdle stop us.

We work together...

to get past them!

We discipline ourselves,
care for each other,

and go on blazing a trail to tomorrow!

White Blaze!

Living to protect
someone you care about...

is what humans do!

I will not abide it.

I will not abide my own...

destruction...

An immense presence has vanished
from the Divine World.

They did it.

Not too shabby.

It's over, then?

Yatogojin has fallen.

Did we win?

Yeah. We kept our world safe.

Aw, yeah!

It's not over yet.

Ramaga!

You mean he didn't die inside Yatogojin?

Gomei's bodily strength
resided in his crystal.

And he has become my Puppet.

Another parting gift from Sagume.

You mean Lady Sagume planned
to bring Ramaga back?

What would she do that for?

Gai, I will defeat you
and claim this world.

Gai! You're not up to another fight—

I know I'm not!

But neither is he.

How perceptive of you.

Sagume's Heavenly Arts
cleansed me of all my power.

But you still want this world?

I do.

All who oppose me must cease to be!

What a load of crap.

I've lost.

Finish me.

Not happening.

A samurai's mercy?

Nothing like that.

I remember now.

You became a real piece of work after
you got the Three Sacred Treasures.

The Jewel of Conquest magnifies desire.

If Sagume—Mom—cleansed the evil
from you with her Heavenly Arts,

you shouldn't want to rule
the world anymore.

You challenged me anyway so you could
lose and leave the Divine World to me.

I'll decide where I belong for myself.

So you stay here.

Live here to keep us humans safe.

Isn't that what true
strength means, old man?

You will grow strong. As I am.

And then what will I do?

Be a protector.

You'll live to keep someone
you care about safe.

That is true strength.

You okay?

My foolish son.

Hey.

I'm so glad... you made it back alive.

It's been three months

since the Samurai Troopers
restored peace to our nation.

Even Tokyo is showing signs
of recovering from the devastation.

To help our country rise from
the ashes stronger than ever,

we, its citizens, must unite to...

I can't believe you're
stepping down as instructor.

Nasti is coming back to work,
so you don't need me anymore.

We'd be happy to keep you on permanently.

Yeah. Stay with the DST,
and you'll be set for life.

Why don't you leave?

The fight will continue.
It's in your hands now.

By the way, is it true you gave
Gai your last name, Sanada?

Yeah. He's a full-fledged
Samurai Trooper now.

Gai Sanada... It's a nice name.

Are you sure you don't
want to see the boys?

As long as armor races through
our hearts, we'll meet again.

True.

Ugh. Where are they when you need them?

Like scorching heat,
I'll incinerate your mortal shell!

BURN!

So this is being human, huh?

It's the best.

Hey.

It's not over yet.

Everyone knows
the highlight of a class trip...

...is the pillow fight!

You're not getting any sleep tonight!

Oh yeah?! Bring it on!

Now this gets me all fired up!

THE END

- THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

- Armor races through your heart.
