Gekijouban Sengoku basara: The Last Party Page #3

his own flag and leaves.

Wholesale slaughter?

The generals of the other states

are now filled with trepidation.

They call Ishida Mitsunari,

The Minister of

Misfortune, for they

fear and detest him.

Kojuro...

Yes?

Im gonna go beat up Ishida.

Back there, I, the One Eyed Dragon,

used mere words to distract him

and turned my tail and ran from an enemy!

This world is vast.

Huh?

Your decision to refrain

from needlessly

crossing swords with a

revenge-crazed assassin

is most befitting of one whos duty

is to care for and protect Oshu.

I have rebuked you for

recklessly going out alone,

but thanks to you, this

land avoided violation

and the soldiers and civilians carry

on their normal, daily lives.

Do not believe for a moment that

only those who go to extremes

for military valor are worthy of

becoming Conqueror of the Land.

I havent the faintest

idea as to why you feel

responsible for Ishidas

subsequent deeds.

Im the one who pissed that dude off.

I told him to come back again

after he flew his own flag.

Gotta settle things with him.

In that case, there is

one thing I must say.

Next time, I shall not let you go alone.

The King of Misfortune, huh?

Yeah, that dude was CRAZY.

But...

Why did he have such clear eyes?

As forces began to make secret maneuvers

in response to the Ishida army,

Tokugawa leyasu, Maeda Keiji,

and Chosokabe Motochika, tried

launching a full-blown walking

tour about the country

in order to convince the

lords of the states that

it was not a day too soon

to end the war-torn age.

Ieyasu...

You scoundrel, why do you refuse

to avenge Lord Hideyoshi with me?

How can you forget Lord Hideyoshis

kindness and abandon the Toyotomi?

Sir Hideyoshi was too concerned with power.

If left unchecked, the Toyotomi would have

spread the fires of war to the whole world,

and even more people would

die and fall into despair.

You... Just what did you see

when you were with them?

Lord Hideyoshi sought power

with that indefatigable heart

of his and fought to protect

the pride of this country,

so that the Land of the Rising

Sun would not fall to ruin!

Listen to me, Mitsunari.

I am as guilty as anyone of

admiring heroes from a far.

But, I have learned something in doing so.

Ironically, their actions

were not so heroic.

Power exists not to be used.

One must have the strength

of both body and heart

never to brandish it in

order to protect our bonds.

That is what true heroism is.

That is what I should have

told Sir Hideyoshi...

My crime was my failure to do so.

Had I, perhaps Sir Hideyoshi

would still be alive.

Know your place, leyasu!

You disgust me with your impertinent talk!

What can any man other than Lord Hideyoshi

accomplish with a naked fist alone?

Prove it to me before this blade,

wet with my bitter tears of blood!

Mitsunari, I came here to talk to you!

As a friend, I wanted to make

sure you understood first.

There is nothing I need to

hear from the likes of you.

I have no need for friendship!

Why do you think that?

You, just as Sir Hanbei

was to Sir Hideyoshi

How dare you frivolously speak their names!

Lord Hideyoshi and Lord

Hanbei shared a bond

deeper than a mere

mortal could understand!

Yes, a bond!

Those two shared a deep bond!

And so did Sir Hideyoshi and Keiji!

Maeda Keiji...

He committed the folly of standing in Lord

Hideyoshis way as he headed for Odawara.

He is deserving of certain death!

He the very picture of self-righteousness!

I shall indict him after Date Masamune!

I dont believe that.

Keiji believed in his

bonds with Sir Hideyoshi,

and I believe his actions are the very

symbol of those who will live from hereon.

Do not glorify those that

defied Lord Hideyoshi!

Do not talk about Lord Hideyoshi

as if he represents bygone days!

Lord Hideyoshi is the one who should

have lived from hereon and blazed a

trail to tomorrow with his sword!

Lord Hideyoshi, was my everything!

Mitsunari!

I refuse to indulge you in

any further conversation.

I shall never forgive that man who

stole my Lord Hideyoshi away!

This world that is on

the verge of forgetting

Lord Hideyoshi, is unforgivable!

The lot of it!

What a pretty flower garden...

They said something wonderful will happen

if I make a lot of flowers bloom...

So Ichi is going to try very

hard to make them bloom.

My brother is laughing...

Im so happy...

Wonderful!

Yes!

More! Accumulate more of them! Lady Oichi!

Im scared, Father Tenkai...!

Legatus, you truly are a timid one.

It will be fine as long as you

offer up a prayer to Buddha.

No, you offer up a prayer to Buddha!

Arent you a priest?

Fret not. I shall hold a memorial

service for them en masse.

Dont surprise me like that, Mr. Otani...

Before long, everything shall be in order.

And what of you?

Mitsunari does not doubt me.

Magistrate, you seem quite friendly

with the King of Misfortune.

Credence is not something

so easily obtained.

I am not working for his benefit.

I am merely noting that Mitsunari

does not suspect a thing.

The Devil Queen of

the Fifth Heaven...

Lady Oichi and the King of

Misfortune, Ishida Mitsunari.

An impeccable medium for

channeling the true banquet

that I desire and the

destruction you wish for.

and Legatus shall provide

the finishing touches.

Huh!? Y-yeah.

Juuuust you waiiiit, Booooosss!

Boooooossss!

Yoshinao!

Hey, Y-Yoshinao!

Where were you hit?

A crow?

What!?

Hey, long time no see.

Mr. Keiji!

Whats up?

Just wanted to see the One Eyed Dragon.

Hows he been?

The Boss said he was gonna settle

things with Ishida Mitsunari.

Were chasing after him right now.

Gonna go mess up Tokugawa

after we beat up Ishida!

Huh?

The Boss... feels responsible.

And now even Tokugawa

is taking advantage of

the Ishida troops random

acts of violence...

Ive heard the rumors, but leyasu

wouldnt do such a thing

Hey.

Whats stuck in your hair?

Huh?

Why would that be in...!

This is...

a letter to the Boss.

From Tokugawa leyasu!

What?!

Lemme take a look.

Hey, wait!

But, uh, thats...

for the Boss.

You cant!

This is...!

I am Tokugawa leyasu.

One who desires from the

bottom of his heart

to govern the lands with

the power of bonds.

I have visited every corner

of the land and advocated the

importance of bonds to everyone.

However, regrettably, not one

person responded to my appeal.

With each battle, no matter

how much we exhaust ourselves

or how often we experience the grief

of losing something irreplaceable

no one in this Land of the Rising Sun

tries to believe in the power of bonds.

This reality has sunk deep into

my mind and I understand now...

Therefore, shameful as it may be, I have

no option but to change my methods.

It precisely because my will is

unyielding that I must resort to force.

I would like you to

understand that, at any time,

the Tokugawa could do

as Ishida Mitsunari,

who has been rampaging about as he pleases.

Now, I have even started to think
