Damn that Sanada Yukimura, he's disrespecting me.
I did plan on embarrassing him, but it seems to have backfired...
To be fair, didn't you cause it?!
That's quite the accusation...
So, what do you want to do?
Would you like to kill me, Ieyasu-dono?
Capture Yukimura, at all costs!
I don't think he's the kind of guy who will actually apologise if we bring him here.
Then kill him!
Kill him on the spot!

THE EIGHTH
THE BIRTH
OF A
NEW BRAVE
Sanada's group is heading towards Oumi.
Could they be planning to take refuge in Ishida Mitsunari's castle?
Neither Sanada nor the Kushimitama will get away.
Hey, old man!
Why do we have to retreat?
What did you do anyway?
It seemed that Ieyasu didn't like my sword-dancing show at all.
That can't be all.
It doesn't really matter, does it?
It was fun.
If they come after us, I'll just kill them.
Let's do it, let's do this!
There he is!
Sanada!
Catch him!
They're persistent.
Who's fault is that?
Isanami, switch to Rokurou's horse.
Eh?
Saizou, Kamanosuke!
You can go ahead.
No need to tell me!
Yukimura-sama!
Ben-chan!
I thought you'd take this way home, so I waited here.
You did good, Benmaru.
It's better to be safe than sorry, right?
You can say that now,
but you really planted a trap for us so you could laugh at us, didn't you?
Ben-chan, I'm so happy to see you again.
Onee-chan!
The other pursuers must have heard the explosion as well.
Yeah.
Let's hurry up.
The people after us are quick to react.
I doubt this will go as well as we hope.
Saizou, Kamanosuke.
Huh?
I order you to scout for enemies between here and Sawayama.
We will hide in the forest up ahead.
Okay.
All right, let's do it.
You don't know the meaning of scouting for enemies, do you?
It means to make a plan and kill the enemies, right?
Idiot!
It's hard to tell if they're in high spirits or not.
Isanami, are you tired?
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
You look fine to me, but you're too lightly dressed.
Yukimura-sama...
Don't worry, Saizou will come back right away.
We will be returning to our homes in Ueda soon.
Yes.
This is...
What's this?
The road is all blocked off.
What will we do?
Let's hurry and go back.
I wonder if the Lord will compliment us.
It's no good, all the roads are completely blocked off.
Even if we continue on this path, we'll only end up at Lake Biwa.
Is it the enemy's plan to cut off our paths of retreat and attack us all at once?
It would be impossible to swim, it's far too cold.
Old man!
Don't be so hasty.
I have Brave ones with me.
Don't say it so casually.
You're bad at handling your men, as always.
As long as I have you guys, it'll work out somehow.
No!
It won't work out somehow!
Thanks for the other day.
You came all this way just to thank me?
You sure know how to play dumb.
We followed you!
That's what I'd say,
but we'll be taking back that which was stolen from us.
Masamune, you're an impudent thief.
Besides, this treasure is too much for you to handle!
Don't talk so highly!
I'll crush you!
For them to come with this many...
Was Kanetsugu feeling remorse and joking with us?
It's not strange for him not to be here.
He has no guts.
Sanada... Yukimura!
Wait up, I won't let you lay a finger on Isanami or the old man.
They're coming!
Like I'll let them!
Huge Whirlwind!
Run away, Isanami!
They're going all out!
I'll do the same.
Take this!
No holding back.
This is...
We can't go any further!
Old man, Isanami!
You're all okay?
Really...
For you guys to be able to make it here...
Thanks to that, our workload has increased!
Date's ninjas?
Don't worry, I'll finish this right away.
This guy... He's taking the stance of Iga...
Rumour has it that he's a really ruthless assassin.
Saizou!
Going all crazy with those guys,
do you really think he's a ruthless assassin?
I don't care if he's taking the stance of Iga.
Don't make me laugh!
You're afraid of it, aren't you, Saizou?
Fighting for someone.
Those eyes are irresistible!
You don't feel anything!
You just carry out your killings.
To me, you're the only warm light I have.
You're needed.
There are Brave ones with me.
I'm not an Iga.
I'm Sanada's Brave, Kirigakure Saizou!
Ah, they came, they came.
You're gonna play with me too!
There are only five of them!
Why are you having such difficulty?!
My lord.
What are you worried about?
I wasn't expecting anything from Tanuki's warriors in the first place.
Let's put an end to this already,
Sanada Yukimura!
Naval forces?
Enemy backup?!
They sure let me have a good time.
My lord!
Please stand back.
What do you think you're doing on my turf?
You guys!
Kakei-san!
Shoot!
He sure has tremendous luck.
You saved us!
Yukimura-sama.
I'm glad you're safe.
Are you guys also all right?
Yeah.
You look fine as well, Kakei-san.
I've been saved, thanks to you.
No, it's not because of me, but because of him.
Say, you want to live with me on this ship?
I'll make sure you won't get bored!
Who do you think you're asking?!
I'll kill you!
Whoa, what a tough girl.
But that suits a pirate just fine!
Huh?
How and where do I look like a girl?
I'm a guy!
Eh?
This girl's a guy?
Seems to be.
Jinpachi!
Please don't speak to Yukimura-sama in such a rude way!
Well, well, it's fine.
I'm Sanada Yukimura from Shinshuu Ueda.
I must thank you.
I'm called Nezu Jinpachi.
I like sake and girls.
Everyone should love my ship.
My motto is: As long as you have fun in life, it's all good.
Another weird person has appeared...
What a good thing to say.
Wow, what a big cat!
A cat, a cat!
So cute!
Hey, I saved them because you told me there was a good-looking girl among them.
I don't see any...
You're saying such rude things again!
What is so rude?!
I'm the absolute leader of this ship!
Um... I'm a girl.
As if someone would want a girl with such little breasts and a pug-nosed face.
Brats shouldn't open their mouth.
Little breasts... Pug-nosed face...
So where's the beautiful woman with blond hair and huge breasts?
What's here is here, in Ueda there's...
You bastard!
Don't make a fool of Isanami!
Idiot!
Don't do it on the ship!
I won't allow you to do as you please on my ship.
He blocked Sekai's iron club with his bare hands?
Jackass!
Onii-chan!
Sekai!
What was that shock just now?
Seems you weren't as big as you seemed to be.
Jinpachi!
It's way too early for my ship to break down.
Besides, I haven't even approved of them being on this ship.
W-What are you saying?
Juuzou, I've vowed to be your brother,
but I don't have any obligations to them.
Which means, I'm going to test whether you're strong enough to stay on this ship.
How interesting.
As if you can win.
Take this.
This smell is...
It's sake!
What did you think it would be?
A match isn't limited to swords, you know.
When you've drunk all of this,
I don't mind approving your stay on this ship.
All right, I'm in!
Are you stupid?!
Look at the number, can you count how many there are?
No need to hold back.
Don't start spouting cool lines!
I haven't drank anything but sacred sake.
I'm excited!
It's the first time for me!
I wonder if it'll taste good.
Kids aren't allowed to drink it!
Eh?!
Don't give me that!
You have no clue what's going on here!
What are you saying those harsh words for, Saizou?
He's already drunk...
All right, let's drink!
I wonder what Yukimura-sama and the rest are doing.
I just hope they haven't got in any trouble.
Besides, even Kamanosuke and Sekai went.
Now it's getting lonely around here.
What do we do if something were to happen...?
Nothing will happen.
I'm here.
You're not worried at all.
Besides, you're here too.
Oh, really.
What an honour.
So good!
I see.
Have some more.
You're strong!
When I saw you guys, I had a feeling you'd love sake.
That's not true.
Good sake is meant to be shared.
Have some more, Peppi-san.
Why only me?
Is this a donburi?
You'll catch a cold for sleeping there, Nii-san.
Sake is nice, and I have eaten enough.
Onee-chan, this isn't a cat, but a panther!
Really?
Right, Veronica?
V-Vero... neroica?
Which one?
O-Onee-chan?!
You're drinking?
Kakei-san?
As expected from a ninja, sake doesn't affect you much.
Of course.
I'm resistant to sake and poison.
More over, why the hell are you on a ship, Kakei-san?
You're not even returning to Ueda.
The stubborn Kakei-san switched to being a pirate?
Don't be silly!
In order to polish my skills,
I've travelled through numerous regions in search of a new gun.
That's when I heard that the Nezunaru pirates possessed an impressive gun,
so I found my way onto his ship.
However, I wasn't allowed to have the gun straight away.
So?
Then he proposed this battle, and I was made to drink as well.
When I drank two whole barrels, they made me their brother.
He's a strong drinker, this old guy...
He then happily gave me a new gun, not for free, of course.
So I've been doing some manual labour here to pay for it.
...and his love for guns is as strong as always.
Ah well, we were saved because you were on this ship.
Now that you mention it, why were you being chased by that army?
Ask Yukimura for the details.
There's a limit to what you can protect, you know.
He even provoked them.
There's no telling with him.
You've softened up.
Huh?
What are you two talking about?
Say, say, Saizou, what were you talking about?
Let me join!
Shut up!
You look like a lovestruck girl, Kamanosuke.
Huh?!
Each and everyone is treating me like a girl!
Quite the drunk, eh?
I'm a guy!
Is there something stuck on my face?
No... Are you really a young lord from Ueda?
No matter how I look at it, you just seem to be someone fooling around with his friends.
It's just like that.
See, you're not even getting mad.
You don't even give a vibe like you're someone elite.
Thanks for that.
I was wondering what you'd have done back there.
Surrounded by that army, with nowhere to run.
The only places left were heaven or hell.
Yeah, that's true.
I'm amazed.
Though, it's not like you hadn't already thought of something, right?
There were Brave ones with me,
so it would have worked out somehow.
Brave ones?
If not, I thought we'd meet someone new.
You're either someone great or a common idiot.
So what about you?
Why, of all things, a pirate?
Because they're free!
You're always connected to someone by invisible lines when on land.
As long as you're someone on it, it means you belong to someone.
I don't belong to anyone.
I'm my own master.
As long as I'm on the wide sea,
below the infinite sky, I am able to be free.
I don't have to do crap like pay taxes or fight someone else's war.
Being a pirate is the best if you want to live a fun life and drink loads of sake.
You don't like to be tied down, eh?
No, I don't.
No matter where one is, someone who is tied up will always be.
Someone who's free will be free.
Regardless of whom I serve, or where and how I live,
if I do so by my own will, I'm free, right?
I'm not tied to anything then.
What would a lord with people serving him know?
Don't tell someone to live such a bad way.
You're paying them, aren't you?
Unfortunately, I'm poor.
Not only that, I don't possess much either.
But even then...
They're all here by their own will.
You sure are of poor character.
Saizou...
I might have always been looking for a life like this...
Captain!
Yeah, I'll be gone for a little while!
Is that pirate guy coming with us to Ueda?
Seems like it.
What?!
When did you manage to persuade him, old man?
There are more and more people joining us.
What a miracle.
Seeing the personalities of different people is a nice thing.
Yeah!
First, I met Saizou, then everyone from Ueda, right?
Kamanosuke, Onii-chan, Ben-chan, the pirate guy, altogether...
Ten people.
Well then, we're returning to Ueda.
Yes!
This time I'm counting on a beautiful woman with blond hair and huge breasts!
Leave it to me!

Why come all the way to Ueda?
If I don't get to see that girl Juzo was talking about,
everything will have been a waste, ya know?
There really is a beautiful woman with blond hair and huge breasts, right?
You mean Ana?
She really is there.
Did Kakei-san tell you...
...that there was a beautiful woman with blond hair and huge breasts?
Yeah.
Saizou! Yukimura-san is calling for you!
Kakei-san, as thick-headed as he is,
surprisingly looks at that when he can, too.
