01x21 - Episode 21

[bunniefuu]

Why'd you k*ll them?

To obtain the Shield of Domination,

I must imbue this mirror with
the lives of five initiates.

I need one more.

Mine?

They fought well, in their own way.

This isn't looking good for us.

If we allow Ramaga to take our lives now,

the hopes of those we leave
behind will turn to despair!

We won't lose even if it kills us!

If we die, we lose!

Ramaga!

Saizo!

Isa! Get him!

Isa!

I've adjusted to a body
of flesh and blood.

I'll start with you, Kamanosuke.

What's so amusing?!

Sorry...

See you on the other side...

K-Kamanosuke!

Let's get him, Isa!

You're next?

You can die together!

Brother...

Isa...

I'll join you again
as your little brother...

And I as your elder brother...

...in the next life.

It appears this is the end for us.

In which case, I will at least leave
something to those who follow!

You nearly had me.

I forgot that you could
wield a g*n as well.

Die...

and serve me!

Saizo! Kamanosuke! Sei! Isa!

The rest... is in your hands.

Every one of them wore a strange
smile in his last moments.

I suppose they couldn't wait
to be put out of their misery.

Don't give me that crap.

If that's true...

I'll smile when I take your head!

- EPISODE XXI
WARNING

- Damn it all.

- Ugh! It's hot, and buggy, and
crawling with weird critters!

When do we get to go back to the bridge?!

We escaped that ice world
as soon as we beat Gaimei.

You think Sasuke's okay?

If Ramaga's back, I kind of doubt it.

We've got no time to lose.

I thought I'd be seeing you soon.

You kept breaking ranks
with us and acting alone

so that you could pick us off one by one.

Did Lady Sagume tell you that?

Where are Gaimei's and Shimei's crystals?

In here.

That only leaves yours.

What?

The Divine Warriors vanished.

At last, my preparations are complete.

Hey, Beast Warriors! Get out here already!

How long are you gonna keep us wait—

Huh? Wait, what?

We're back on the Heaven Bridge.

What just happened?

I'm not sure,

but let's get to Gai and
the warriors while we can.

You mean drop down there?
Doesn't this seem fishy?

I can't see the bottom.

We don't have time to think. Let's move!

For real?

Someone's guiding us.

I have Gaimei's brute strength
and Shimei's agility.

Once I gain your iron physique,
the foundations will be laid.

What foundations?

Lady Sagume didn't tell you that part?

Your memory was erased,
so you wouldn't recall,

but we were originally one body.

What?

I don't blame you for being shocked,
but it's indeed true.

What proof do—

Think back to the beginning
of our memories.

We all awoke together in one place.

What were we doing there?

Our lack of memories before
that point is the ultimate proof.

We were... one?

First, I will take back
the power that was mine!

The power that was divided
because it was too great!

And then I will gain the true
Armor of the Supreme Emperor!

Take it, if you can!

What will you do with
the true armor if you get it?!

That should be obvious.

I will rule this world as its king.

All will bow down before me!

What a load of crap!

That's all you sacrificed them for?!

That mark...

You've improved in a short time.

But do not forget that my own
strength has grown with Gai's!

Twin Dazzle Slash!

We followed everything on the monitors.

What on earth has happened
in the Divine World?

We can't figure that out either.

Say, Jun, can't you
use your powers somehow?

That's a pretty vague ask.

Your staff resonates
with the Samurai Troopers.

With help from everyone here,
there must be a way.

Oh, right.

That just might work!

Guys! Focus your Samurai Trooper
energy on the staff!

I feel... the Divine World's presence.

Gai and the others must be up ahead.

Yeah. For now, all we can do is believe.

I just hope they're all okay.

As if they'd bite it in a place like this.

They haven't even kept their promise yet.

- ACADEMIC APTITUDE TEST

- That's not even close!
And this is for grade-school kids!

- We cannot help it.

We never received a formal education.

- Unno and Nezzie taught us
to read and write, though.

- THIRD-GRADE JAPANESE
KAMANOSUKE

- I can't make out a word of that.

Anyway, what difference does it
make if we can't answer these?

A big difference. We can't work as a team
unless you learn some common sense.

We'll make you play our favorite songs
if you don't finish these drills.

I've got the sheet music and everything.

This song again?

How many times do we have to tell you?
We only play 80s music.

Eighties! Eighties!

Then finish your damn homework!

Quit nagging! We'll do it
if it means that much to you!

In the end, they tapped out
on the third page.

Oh, yeah, that did happen.

We've gotta make sure they finish
and put on a show, then.

There's the exit.

Where are we?

Come on!

Sasuke!

You guys...

So you've arrived at last.

That's Ramaga's original form.

You mean he's fully absorbed Gai's body?

Hey, look!

Don't waste your time.

They're all dead.

What gives?

What the hell?

Don't tell me you were
seriously going to play it!

Why...

Why do you keep taking
people we care about...

Ramaga?!

I can't...

...move!

It's too soon for you to take the stage.

Nezu's paralysis!

Have you forgotten?

I possess the powers of the Ten Warriors.

Stay there and watch him die.

Jun, have you learned anything?

Yup. I think I got
the big picture, anyway.

The Divine World is a real mess right now.

They've split into three factions.

Grant me all of your power!

First, there's Sagume Yashima.

She's absorbed human life force
and claimed Yatogojin's power.

Next is Inmei.

He's trying to recombine the Four
Beast Warriors into their original form.

Heavenly Art: Hail!

Th-That's Gaimei's Heavenly Art!

This fight is over!

Become part of me like the rest!

And the last faction...

is Ramaga.

Ramaga?!

He's taken control of Gai's body.

So Ramaga stabbed us in the back.

You mean Kaito and the Troopers are
getting dragged into a three-way battle?

It looks like it.

Is there a chance Gai
will come to his senses?

I don't sense Gai at all.

Why won't you move, body?!

Damn it!

To mark the occasion,
I'll take my time with you.

Stop it!

Rage away!

How I pity you, powerless
to do anything but scream.

Why are you doing this?!

Because I enjoy it, of course.

You're out of your mind.

I couldn't ask for higher praise.

Just stop already.

Hmm? Did you say something?

I told you to stop!

Is that how you beg for a favor
from the king of this world?

Thanks for fighting for all of us!

That's enough! Stop it!

Would you stop in my shoes?

I'm a hero, too.

Take a good look. This is my...

our final attack!

What folly. You've let
the humans influence you.

This is what you were after, right,

Saizo?

What?

The mark on your neck
is a curse Saizo planted.

His parting gift.

When I graze that mark
with my demon energy,

it turns into deadly poison!

Drop dead.

You ingrate!

What did you think of my acting?

Did you imagine I hadn't
noticed Saizo's tricks?

He only used his g*n once,
back when he poisoned the boy.

So I guessed he'd used poison again
and cleansed it with Heavenly Arts.

You've run out of options.

What gives?

They're seriously treating us like heroes.

Enough with the noise!

This is going to teach them humanity?

You're already full-fledged heroes.

Of course. I finally see now.

I get why they went out smiling.

We had a great time with you guys.

Thanks for making us human.

And so he falls.

O life, come dwell
in the Mirror of Supremacy.

You've gotta be kidding me.

What is it?

The Ten Warriors... have been wiped out.

Now...

Time to give the Shield of Domination
its finishing touches!

Come, Shield of Domination!

Rise again!

At last, it's mine.

That's...

the Shield of Domination.

Shall I test it?

Hurl your hatred at me!

Fine by me!

- Oath of Faith, emissary of Water!

- Oath of Justice, emissary of Earth!

- Oath of Wisdom, emissary of Air!

- Oath of Grace, emissary of Light!

Armor of Wilderness!

Forget right and left!

I'll chop you—wham—
straight down the middle!

FAITH

Follow Blade!

WISDOM

Gale Force Break!

JUSTICE

Crusher b*llet!

GRACE

expl*sive Thunder Attack!

That had no effect at all?!

Magnificent! It's all I could ask for!

Sagume.

I've come to take your life.

Oh?

Gomei, welcome home.

Sagume and Ramaga...

Which one will I have to face?

Huh? Uh... what?

Where are we now?

Could this be... the afterlife?

For real?!

Don't go k*lling me off.

Is this a new checkpoint
in the Divine World?

No, none of them look like this.

Hey!

What's that?

Gai?

Huh? No way!

Gai! Gai!

Gai!

You can never become Gai.

Is your son so precious to you?
