TNΌƒ - Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars) - Disc 2 The Unofficial "Translation FAQ" by Lando/MRA. Script (c) MRA 1998. Sakura Taisen (c) Sega Enterprises, LTD. 1996 (c) RED 1996 This translation faq contains some Japanese text in Shift-JIS format. First of all, I just want to apologize for this translation; I was either too literal, I didn't know half the words and they weren't available in any dictionary I have, or I knew the words but could not make sense of the sentence in which they were used. Still other lines of text simply cannot be translated effectively. At any rate, I hope the general ideas - and perhaps a little more - in this story have been carried across to the general English-speaking public comprised of those interested in unspoiled Japanese entertainment. I must iterate that I have no formal schooling in Japanese, just an avid interest. Second, I would like to apologize for the general ugliness of this faq. I am currently doing one for Sakura Taisen 2 as well; that faq looks much better. Also, if anyone wishes to reformat this faq to make it look neater, or if anyone has corrections, additional information, questions, or other general comments, please feel free to e-mail me and let me know.

All: Happy New Year! Sakura: Oogami-san! Happy New Year! I'm sure this year will be a good year! Oogami: Happy New Year, Sakura-kun. This year, let's all do our best together and make it a good year. Sakura: Yes! We'll do our best! Umm...... Oogami: What is it? Sakura: No! It's nothing! You've done so much for us last year. Please continue to do so this year too! Sumire: Aah...... Sakura-san, your greetings are met unusually with courtesy. Sakura: Thank you. This year I'm doing my best to try to become a lady like you, Sumire-san. Sumire: Aaah, ohohoho...... You have acquired such good sense! Well, a diligent apprenticeship under me is required for a debut in society circles. By the way, Oogami-san. What do you think of this outfit? Is it a bit too simple after all? Oogami: (......Where is it simple?) (on the outfit) Oogami: (It's an amazing outfit......) (on the outfit again) Oogami: (But...... where is this outfit simple?) (on the headpiece) Oogami: (Wh- what is this? Is this one of those turban head ornaments......?) (It's almost as showy as the stage costumes......) (on the headpiece again) Oogami: (But...... isn't it heavy?) (on Sumire's mouth) Sumire: Hm...... In all honesty, it was especially tailored by Nishijin Fabric from Kyoto...... It was supposed to have appeared as a long-sleeved kimono of the ultimate highest class. It's too bad...... Kohran: Yes, yes, it suits you as always, Sumire-han. Sumire: Ah...... you speak with such biting words! Kohran: Ahahaha, it's all in your imagination. Right, Oogami-han! Oogami: Eh? (1st option Su+) Sumire-kun, it suits you well. Kohran: See? Sumire-han, whatever you wear suits you! Sumire: Aah, ohohoho! Have you awakened finally to my beauty? Maria: Commander...... Happy New Year. Oogami: Hey, Maria. Happy New Year. Kohran: Yeah! Although the Chinese New Year is yet to come, so it's a little early for me to celebrate. Oogami: For now, we'll celebrate it anyway. Happy New Year. Iris: Oniichan, Happy New Year! Oogami: Hey, Iris. Happy New Year. Iris: Iris will turn 11 this year! A little more and we can get married, right? Oogami: W- well...... hahaha, it's still early, yet...... Iris: Really? Oogami: Kanna, Happy New Year. This year should be good. Kanna: That's just like you, commander. Well, I'm glad. This will be a good year. Sumire: How grand you are...... Kanna: What did you say!? You tasteless woman!? Sumire: Your voice is much too loud, huge one! Kanna: You wanna start something!? You rotting snake woman!? Oogami: Hey...... it's New Years - please stop. Fujieda: Oogami-kun...... You've certainly worked hard last year. Do your best this year as well...... Oogami: Y...... yes'm...... Kohran: Oogami-han, you...... from New Year's (something) Oogami: Hahaha...... (But...... peace along with New Year's greetings are truly good things......) Oogami: Whew...... Did I drink too much? My head hurts a little...... Fujieda: Ensign Oogami, Ensign Oogami. Manager Yoneda is calling. Please come to the manager's office. Oogami: Manager Yoneda...... what could it be? For now, I'll go and see...... Now then...... let's go. (The girl that shows up now is whichever girl you happen to be most in favor with. Again, Sakura is the example.) Hey, Sakura-kun...... Are you doing the Hatsumoude (w - the first shrine or temple visit in the new year) now? Sakura: Y- yes...... (1st option Sa+) Oogami: If it's all right...... could we go together? Sakura: Eh...... is it all right? Going with me...... Oogami: Yes. Certainly. Sakura: Well then, please wait a bit...... Oogami: Well, please wait in your room. I'll go meet you afterwards. Sakura: Absolutely! Oogami: Hatsumoude with Sakura-kun...... it should be fun. Oogami: Oogami, just arrived. Yoneda; Oh, you've come. Enter. Oogami: Yes, excuse me. You have business with me, manager? Yoneda: Oh, Oogami. Well, first, how about a glass? (2nd option) Oogami: ......I'm sorry, but I must restrain myself. Yoneda: ......I see. That's fine. Not forgetting the chaos even in the new peace...... if you don't have that kind of attitude, you can't serve as company commander. Oogami: Yes. Yoneda: ......Well, even so, I have the empathy to let you relax during New Year's. Do whatever you like - today you don't have to work. Take a stroll or something. Oogami: Y- yes sir! Well then...... please excuse me. A stroll...... Manager Yoneda may have a sensible idea. Okay. After such a long time, I can forget my work and relax. Fujieda: Oogami-kun? What's going on? Oogami: Ayame-san...... I've got the manager's approval, so I thought I'd go outside for a bit...... Fujieda: (laughs), sounds good. Now that the New Year's come, you should be able to kick up your heels and relax. (Literally, "spread your wings.") Oogami: Y- yes. ......Um...... (2nd option) ......Well then, please excuse me! Fujieda: As for that girl...... I leave her to you! ......Hang in there, Oogami-kun. Oogami: Eh!? Fujieda: You mustn't keep a girl waiting long. Oogami: .................. Fujieda: Yes, from that...... Oogami-kun. The one who chases two rabbits won't find even one. This is my advice. Oogami: .................. Who should I go with to the Hatsumoude......? (One would assume you should go with the girl who showed up at your door earlier, in this case Sakura.) (at Sakura's door) Oogami: Is Sakura-kun...... in her room, I wonder? It's Oogami...... Sakura-kun, are you there? Sakura: Sorry for making you wait! Oogami: My, Sakura-kun...... h- how lovely! Sakura: This kimono? (2nd option) Oogami: No...... you are. Sakura: Even if it is flattery, your praise makes me happy. Thank you very much. Oogami: I didn't intend it to be flattery...... Well then, shall we go? Let's ride the steam railroad to the Meiji Jingu ((?)_{ - Meiji (Shinto) Shrine). Sakura: Ah! The train's come! Let's get on! Sakura: Wow, so many people! So this is New Year's in Tokyo! But, I'm so glad...... There is peace in Tokyo...... Oogami: You're right. It's the peace that all of you protected. Sakura: Now then...... let's go! Oogami: Yes. Sakura: So many people...... Oogami: It won't do to be separated, so let's go hand-in-hand. Sakura: Yes...... Sakura: ............ Oogami: (Now then...... what should I pray for?) (2nd option) (To be able to be closer with Sakura-kun......) Sakura: ............ Oogami: ............ Sakura: Well, let's go! Oogami: Sakura-kun...... what did you pray for? Sakura: It's a secret. Oogami: All the stands are lined up. Just like a temple festival. (on the leftmost stand) Oogami: Oh, it's Oni no Teki Ate ("Hit the Oni Target"). Man: Well? Would the two of care to try? Sakura: Oogami-san, let's do it! Man: Oh-ho, such an adult as the young man would have to refuse Oni no Teki Ate. It's much too simple for him. Well? Wouldn't you care to try some target practice inside? (1st option) Oogami: All right, let's do it! I went through so much trouble to get to the Hatsumoude, I might as well have a little fun. Man: Thanks! Now then, this way to the target practice stand! XeLI Welcome to the target practice range - there's no limit on bullets, so please kill lots of Oni. (options - Begin & Demo - A,B,& C = Fire!) (if you kill lots) Man: Yes, congratulations. Here's your prize. A present for your girl. Oogami: Well, Sakura-kun. Would you...... like this? Sakura: Wow, a pendant? Thank you! I'm so...... happy. It will be my treasure. (on the middle stand) Man: Well? Would you two like to try? Sakura: Wow, Oogami-san. It's so dear to me. (1st option) Oogami: Now that you mention it, I played with these often so long ago. Sakura: Aah, you too, Oogami-san? Whenever there was a festival in my countryside I'd come to this stand often. Oogami: It was like a dream. Sakura: Heheh...... Yeah. (on the rightmost stand) Man: Now then, step right up, step right up! It is the monkey from China. Monkey: Ukkii, ukkii. Sakura: Wow, Oogami-san. That monkey is cute. (2nd option) Oogami: Yeah. It's cute. And quite clever, too. Sakura: Yes...... Oogami: The fact that such things appear is yet another result of peace in Teito. Sakura: Yes, truly...... (offscreen) Sakura: Oh, Oogami-san, wait. Oogami: ......Hm? Sakura: Come this way for a bit. Oogami: He...... hey. Sakura: Look...... Over there, the HokushinGongen-sama (kCl - North Star Avatar (honorific suffix))...... If the North Star were to fall in one strike it would be awful. Oogami: Wh- what the!? Sakura: ............! Oogami: ............E- everyone! Kanna: We came after you, you know! Sumire: We never intended to allow the two of you to go to the Hatsumoude alone in the first place! Ohohohohohoho...... Kohran: Were you surprised!? Yeah, we meant to surprise you! Maria: I'm sorry. I tried to stop everyone, but...... Iris: EVERYONE has to do the Hatsumoude together! Kanna: We'll all have a party! Sakura: Yeah! It'll be Hatsumoude with all the Hana-Division members after all! Kanna: Yossha! That's the kind of thing I like to hear! Maria: ............! Oogami: ......What's wrong, Maria? Maria: Something seems wrong here...... Mysterious unkown, yet uncannily familiar, voice: (laughing) Oogami: What is this voice!?! Maria: This voice...... Sakura: Over there! Satan: We meet again...... Dear friends of the TeikokuKagekidan. Oogami: You......! Satan: My name is...... Aoi Satan (ìO)!! Oogami: Damned Kuronosukai! You're still alive!? Satan: Kuronosukai......? Ridiculous. There was a limit to that Tenkai's degree. He was a childish king obsessed with the Tokugawa! Oogami: What......! Satan: But, I, Aoi Satan, am different! I show no such mercy! (didn't get this) It is a waste to attempt to stop me...... Oogami: What did you say!? Satan: I shall completely destroy this Teito and thrust all humans down to the very depths of terror! Oogami: What is your objective!? Satan: Objective? (laughing) I hate the happy faces of humans! The suffering, wailing forms in terror are what make me happy! Sakura: Such a thing...... I will never forgive! Satan: I shall destroy all those people and things that you love! Sakura: What! Satan: (laughing) Come! Restrained in the lowest stratum of Teito, beings of evil! I shall be the liberator of evil! Arise! Kouma!! Maria: What are these......!? Kouma: (various demonic noises) Kohran: Wh- what are these things!? Sakura: Watch out! Everyone! Fujieda: Well, this seems like good timing! Sakura: Ah! The Shougei-Maru! Oogami: Ayame-san! Kohran: The Shougei-Maru! We're saved!! Kanna: Okay! (something I didn't get) Oogami: Right, let's go, everyone! We'll meet the enemy in Koubu!! Kohran: ............! Maria: Everyone, let's go!! (Eyecatch) TeikokuKagekidan: TeikokuKagekidan, sanjou! Inoshishi: Hahahahahaha! What great might you wield as insects!! My name is Inoshishi ( - the boar)! I am one of the Three Knights (ORm)! We shall meet again! That is, if you are still alive! Shika: My name is Shika ( - the deer). I am one of the Three Knights. If you live long enough, I shall be your next opponent! Chou: I am one of the Three Knights, Chou ( - the butterfly). You must be overjoyed to be able to meet me. Ohohohohoho. You thank the gods to be able to meet me before you die. (You may recognize from my faq of the previous disc these three as elements of the Hanafuda card combination InoShikaChou ().) Satan: I shall not go so far as to lower my hand to you. Those beings shall suffice for me. Now then, excuse me...... Fujieda: They're different from the enemies you've faced until now! Be careful! Oogami: Understood!! (after smacking a Kouma) Sakura: Oogami-san! This enemy is stronger to an extent that doesn't compare with the ones we've faced until now! Oogami: (The difference in fighting strength is too great...... what do we do!?) (after being smacked by a Kouma) Oogami: Damn! What strength! Sakura: Oogami-san! Under these conditions......!! Fujieda: Ensign Oogami, we are going to fire the Shougei-Maru's cannon. It's dangerous, so head through the torii!! (torii - Ѷ - Shinto shrine gateway) Yoneda: Oogami! If you don't evacuate all members, we can't fire the cannon! Get out of there fast! Oogami: Understood! All members, escape through the torii!! (once inside) Oogami: Ayame-san! Evacuation complete! Please begin cannon fire!! Fujieda: Well done, Ensign Oogami! Shougei-Maru, fire cannon! Aim and fire!! Cannon firing completed. The enemies are still alive, but they should be much weaker now. Ensign Oogami! Now you can win. Please destroy the enemy! (afterwards) Oogami: (oops...... missed it) Sakura: ......!? Oogami-san! The Koubu...... the Koubu won't move! Oogami: Wh- what the- something's wrong with the Koubu! Kohran: Everyone, evacuate! The Koubu are at their limits! (Eyecatch) Maria: The Koubu's been destroyed...... Kanna: Ah...... We've known them for so long, but now we can't use them. Kohran: Sniff...... Both the main body and the armaments are at their limits. These guys have really worked hard. Hey...... Sleep well...... My Koubu...... Sumire: ......What's more, the armor is crumbling from those monsters' attacks. What can we possibly do? Oogami: If those monsters were to come out again...... (Eyecatch) January 2nd Teito Nippou ( - name of a newspaper) newspaper extra "New Enemy Appears" "Great Chaos at Meiji Jinguu" Grotesque monsters appear at the Meiji Jinguu. It is a great bitter battle for the TeikokuKagekidan - Hana-Division. During the Hatsumoude at the bustling Meiji Jinguu grounds grotesque monsters appeared, around one o'clock, exhibiting a confused and noisy condition. The TeikokuKagekidan - Hana-Division moved out. Even though these were repelled, the damage was tremendous. Are the Spirit Child Armor Koubu casualties? The appearance of new demons is a shock to Teito citizens and (something) Yoneda: This scandalous news article says it all. You idiot!! (1st option) Oogami: So you say, Chief Yoneda. But the Koubu were no match for them. Yoneda: Oogami! You indeed!! Are you not the Hana-Division company commander!? Did you only learn debating and secrets to living a good life in the military academy!?! Oogami: .................. Fujieda: The citizens of Teito fear a new menace after the Kuronosukai...... Yoneda: Since everyone is hiding within their homes and won't come out Teito's economy is dwindling. Since yesterday I've been receiving tasteless messages from eminent members of government about that matter. I've got a stomachache that can't be helped. Oogami: That...... is because you drink to much osake...... Yoneda: Did you say something? Oogami: No, nothing! Yoneda: Is that clear, Oogami!? Don't make a mess of the peace we had from defeating the Kuronosukai! Moreover, if you continue this shameful conduct you will be nothing more than a ticket puncher! Oogami: No...... nothing more than a ticket puncher!? Yoneda: When it looks bad, you must think of a countermeasure against the monstrous enemy! Oogami: Y- yes sir! Yoneda: If you understand, go! Oogami: Y- yes sir! Excuse me! Fujieda: (laughing) Chief, weren't you overreacting just a bit? Yoneda: (sorry, missed this) Don't forget the confusion in the calm. We mustn't be unprepared even in times of peace...... Fujieda: The previous battle with the Kuronosukai...... the normal conditions were too sweet. Yoneda: Aoi Satan...... He may be more of a burden than Tenkai...... Fujieda: ............ Satan: Finally the time has come for you to surface aboveground...... You may snatch away all the lives of the living in this world...... You may eat all the flesh...... However, for that purpose, the interlopers must be buried...... A magnificent enemy is waiting for you...... Oogami: Nevertheless...... that a monster such as that remains yet alive...... Kouma............ Six years ago...... the Kouma sealed within the depths of the earth by Lieutenant General Yoneda and the others in the RikuGunTaiKoumaButai (Army Anti-Kouma Corps)...... now...... by the hand of that Aoi Satan have been called back to Teito...... If we don't repair the Koubu fast...... Teito will be in terrible trouble. Yes, hold on a second...... Kohran: Oogami-han...... Sorry for coming so late at night. Oogami: ......What's wrong, Kohran? Kohran: ......I'd like to talk with you for a bit. Can I...... come in? Oogami: ......I understand. Well then, come inside. Sumire: ............Kohran? Kohran............ What can you possibly wish to speak about with the ensign......? Oogami: ......Well then, Kohran. What did you want to say? Kohran: Speaking from my own conclusions...... my expectations for the repairs of the Koubu seem fairly low. Oogami: What? Kohran: From what I've seen, the Koubu's Soul Child Engine is completely dead. Repairs will be fairly difficult...... And honestly speaking, even with repaired Koubu...... this time I don't know if we can beat the enemy. Oogami: ......So what you're saying is that we need a weapon even greater than the Koubu...... it would seem. Kohran: If only it were that simple. Even if it were, this TeikokuKagekidan would become a money-eating worm. Development of the Soul Child Armor, adjustments, maintenance...... I don't know where the money is going to come from to pay for any of these. And then, the destruction of the Koubu...... To make matters worse, because of the new enemy Teito's economy is dwindling. At this time, we simply don't have enough to make a new Koubu. Oogami: Funds............ ......hm!? Kohran: What's wrong, Oogami-han? Such a frightening face...... Oogami: Well...... didn't you hear something just now? Kohran: No, I didn't hear anything. Oogami-han, maybe it's your imagination? Oogami: I see...... Kohran: Oogami-han...... What will you do now? (1st option) Oogami: This isn't a problem I can solve by myself. I'm going to speak with Manager Yoneda. Kohran: ......Understood. I'll tell everyone in the Hana-Division to gather in the war planning room. Oogami: I'll leave it to you. Now then...... to Manager Yoneda's room. Oogami: It's Oogami. Manager Yoneda, I have to speak with you. Yoneda: Oh, come in. Oogami: Pardon me. Manager, the truth is...... Yoneda: This is about the Koubu, right? Oogami: ......Yes, it is. The extent of the Koubu's efficiency, and, moreover, the difficulty of funding...... Manager...... How can we possibly solve this problem? Yoneda: Hm, that problem's been giving me a headache as well...... However, Oogami...... Couldn't you leave this to me? Oogami: Yes sir...... Yoneda: It isn't all bad. It'll just take a little time. Therefore, Oogami...... Please try to keep your comrades in the Hana-Division smiling! Oogami: ......Understood. Well then, please excuse me. Everyone in the Hana-Division should be gathered in the war planning room. Oogami: It seems everyone is gathered. Maria: Yes...... Now then, shall we begin? Sakura: This is about counter-measures against those monsters...... the Kouma, right? Kanna: First, let's hear the commander's opinion. As for dealing with those monsters...... what do you think we should do? (1st option Sa+ Ka+) Oogami: Training again for all members. The strength of the human pilots of the Koubu shall become as strong a fighting force. The only way to strengthen the current fighting force of the Hana-Division is for each member to become stronger individually! Maria: Never forgetting one's original intention..... yes? Kanna: Returning to one's origin..... I see! Sounds good. In that case I'll go once more to the mountain where I trained in karate so long ago! Sakura: I'll refine my skill with the sword at the origin of the teacher to whom I am indebted..... Oogami: Okay! Now then, the others..... Sumire: I don't want any part of this special training. Iris: (?) Oogami: .....Eh? Iris: Iris would rather have a new Koubu made than special training. Sumire: I agree. We can't win fighting with just our bare hands. Kanna: But, don't you believe the last remaining humans alive will eventually be those who disciplined themselves to the limit of their souls? Sumire: If that is what you believe, then you can seclude yourself on a mountain somewhere and practice your karate..... Do whatever you like that befits a jungle queen. Kanna: What did you say!? Oogami: You two, calm down! Maria: ......Commander, what do we do? (1st option) Oogami: ......All right, special training! Let us all return to our own individual origins and take hold of something we have forgotten!! Sakura: Yes! Kanna: Yosshaa! Oogami: What about the rest of you? Sumire: ............ Iris: ............ Maria: I obey my commander's orders...... Oogami: ......And Kohran? Kohran: Well...... honestly speaking, I don't think there is any special training I can do to become stronger. Oogami-han. All people vary in their appearance and their minds with their own interests and beliefs. If there are those people who agree with your thoughts, then there will also be those who do not agree, right? Oogami: But............ Kohran: So I'll be busy with new inventions. Oogami: Fine! I understand. Only those who approve of my thoughts may join me. You should all know we cannot defeat the Kouma like this. Sumire: Well then, we shall all do as we please. Iris: Well then, Iris can sleep plenty! Kohran: ......Okay, Oogami-han. - Oogami: Man oh man, do you suppose my arm was a little slow? Maria: Hmhm...... seems it's my win today. Oogami: What, not yet! - Kohran: Yes, one more step...... - Iris: Yaay! We've bought so much! Sumire: Hohoho...... next, a dress! When we get back we'll have tea. Iris: After that...... Iris will have a nap! - Kanna: I'll show you I can do it! If it's me, I can do anything! This time I'll show you I can surpass my father! - Sakura: The way of the sword, namely, the way of the heart...... The sword shines brilliantly within one's heart............ swiftly...... with ease...... (Eyecatch) Oogami: ......After three weeks we've finally returned. Maria: It's been quite a while since we've been at the Great Imperial Playhouse. Oogami: We're back! Kanna: Welcome back, you two! Sakura's already come back as well. Maria: You seem healthy, Kanna. Sakura: Oogami-san! Maria-san! Welcome back. Oogami: We're home, Sakura-kun. (on Sakura's mouth) Sakura: ......Oogami-san...... we're finally able to meet...... Oogami: ......What's up, Sakura-kun? Sakura: ............ ......I'm sorry. ʭۭЭAۭЪAԲt...... Maria: .................. Kanna: Ah-ah, what is it, Sakura!? You're not a kid - spit it out already! Sakura: I- I'm sorry. ......I just feel a bit strange. Oogami: ......Did you do any special training? Sakura: Yes! Since I've always been working on the stage, my sword technique was getting rusty. Kanna: I'm in top shape! I've been killing bulls to my heart's c ontent......! Oogami: Ki- killing bulls......? Maria: That's amazing...... Kanna: Heheh...... I'm finally following in my father's footsteps! (on Kanna's mouth) Oogami: ......By the way, what's been happening with everyone else? Sakura: Iris was exhausted from playing so she is napping in her room. Oogami: ............ Sakura: Kohran is in her room making something, I think. I heard an explosion earlier. Kanna: Sumire was in the salon. She seems to be walking around outside everyday, not doing any special training. Oogami: Oh man...... Maria: Commander...... Why don't you go check on them? Oogami: Yes...... I'll do so...... (at Tsubaki-chan's desk) Oogami: Hey, Tsubaki-chan. It's been a while. Tsubaki: Welcome back, Oogami-san! You must be tired from your special training! Oogami: Tsubaki-chan...... do you have work when there's no public performance? Tsubaki: Yeah! Sorting and arranging the posters, bromides, and such keeps me quite busy! Right now I'm in the middle of sorting the bromides, so, I'm sorry, but I can't sell you any. Oogami: Really...... bad luck. Tsubaki: I only sell one bromide a month, so...... please come by sometime and buy one! (If you already have six bromides you can buy the special bromides at this point.) (in the cafeteria) Oogami: Oh...... Kanna, eating food as usual. Kanna, it looks delicious. Kanna: It's like I've said - eating food is the best way to become strong. Eating anything, whether you like it or hate it. Being able to see it that simply is more difficult than any training. Commander, are there any foods you love or hate? (1st option) Oogami: No, I'll eat anything. There have never been any I love or hate. Kanna: Heh, that's quite amazing! But no matter what you eat, you'll want to eat what tastes good. What a meal. Eating food here after all...... is the true feeling of having returned to the Imperial theatre for me. Well then, commander. See you later. Oogami: Now then...... I should be going. (backstage) Oogami: Huh? Sakura-kun...... Sakura: Ah...... Oogami-san. Oogami: ......rehearsing alone? Sakura: No...... it isn't rehearsing...... I've come back after so long, I just came to see the stage for a bit...... When I stand on stage...... before I know it, I spontaneously start dancing. (1st option Sa+) Oogami: Sakura-kun...... you must really love the stage. Sakura: Yeah...... Although when I came here last April, I was a bit uneasy...... Now, being onstage makes me very happy. If I dance after so long...... it calms my spirits. Oogami: .................. Sakura: Well, Oogami-san...... if you'll excuse me, I'll be going. Oogami: Yeah. Well, see you later. Now then...... I should be going as well. (in the library) Maria: Commander...... what are you doing here? Oogami: I was going to ask you...... why are you in the library so soon after coming back? Maria: Well, I missed it..... at any rate, it's been three weeks. I can't get to sleep without a book. Oogami: I understand how you feel...... It's the same with me. Maria: Hmhm, it's mutual. Well then...... please excuse me. Oogami: ......I think I'll walk around the theatre some more after so long. (at Iris's door) Oogami: It's been so long...... I wonder how Iris is. (knocking) Fujieda: Yes, who is it? Oogami: Huh? It's Ayame-san's voice. Fujieda: Oogami-kun. I'm opening the door, so come in. Oogami: Ayame-san! ......It's been a while. Fujieda: Long time no see, Oogami-kun. It seems you've gotten sturdier after being away so long. Oogami: Thank you! Fujieda: By the way, Oogami-kun. Why are you here? (2nd option) Oogami: I came to see Iris after so long, but...... ......it seems she's still sleeping. Fujieda: Iris is still growing right now. She's at the time when no matter how much she sleeps, she can't seem to get enough...... Oogami-kun, do you have such memories as well? Oogami-kun. Please tell Iris that you're home. Oogami: ......Iris, I'm home. Iris: (indistinct) Oogami: Hahaha...... she's sleeping innocently. Fujieda: Oogami-kun, have you noticed anything about Iris? Oogami: Eh? What do you mean? Fujieda: Right now Iris needs to sleep. For the growth of her mind and body...... you see. ......Well then, I must be going. I'll be in my room, so if anything should happen, drop by. Oogami: The growth of her mind and body......huh. Perhaps right now it may be more important to Iris than any special training. See you, Iris...... sleep well. Well, now that I've been able to check on Iris, I should go see everyone else. (at Kohran's room) Oogami: It's been quite a while since I've been in Kohran's room...... (knocking) Kohran: Yes. Oogami: It's Oogami...... could you open the door? Kohran: ......Oogami-han! It's been a while. Open the door and come right in! Oogami: Well then, pardon me. Kohran: Now then, if there's much you have to say, go right ahead...... Oogami-han, don't you have business with me? Oogami: Yeah...... (1st option) What's happened with the Koubu? Do you have an outlook for the repairs? Kohran: Well, the truth is...... as for the Koubu...... I'm completely not touching them. Oogami: What!? Then...... how are we supposed to fight the Kouma!? No matter how strong we become through training, fighting the Kouma without the Soul Child Armor is too reckless! Kohran: ......I have nothing to say concerning that matter. Oogami: I see............ Kohran: ......I'm sorry, Oogami-han, that I'm giving you such an explanation...... Well, now that you've finally come back we'll have lots of fun! ......Yeah, we'll play some Hanafuda! (Oh yes, lots of Hanafuda............) Oogami: Kohran...... for some reason, you're quite sunny. Kohran: Yeah! Now I'm finished with the job Yoneda-han asked me to do, so I'm in a good mood! Oogami: Manager Yoneda...... asked you to do a job? Kohran: Ah...... oops! That's still a secret! Oogami: ............? Kohran: It- it's nothing. Now then, work, work! Oogami: Well then...... I'd like to say hi to the others, so I'm going. Kohran: ......See you, Oogami-han. (2nd option) Oogami: Kohran, good luck. We rely on you for the Soul Child Armor. Kohran: ......Yup...... .................. Oogami: ......What is it, Kohran? Kohran: I...... have a dream. This dream's not anything really big. I just want to fly freely in the sky. Oogami: If it's the sky, you can always fly in the Shougei-Maru, can't you? Kohran: That's only floating! I was talking about flying freely on wings. Oogami-han, do you know about airplanes? Oogami: If you mean the army's planes, I've seen them before, but...... Kohran: Yes, those! Crash! Crash! ......Crash again! There're too many problems in both the design and the output! But still, if we have the technology to make the Soul Child Armor...... we should be able to fly as far as China...... But...... I know - a person who devoted his life to an incomplete airplane like that...... A time long ago when I was small. That person...... flew over to Japan in an airplane he made himself...... Hmhm...... he flew...... He didn't say anything...... and he promised nothing. Afterwards...... I don't know what happened...... I would follow that person flying freely in the air...... Ever since then...... that's what I've believed. Oogami: ......I see. (1st option) So you want to complete an airplane. Kohran: Eh......? Oogami: You've had this dream for so long, right? You must complete it. For yourself, and that person...... Kohran: ............ Oogami: Isn't that right...... Kohran? Kohran: Yeah...... Oogami: If there's anything I can do to help, tell me anytime. Kohran: ......Okay, Oogami-han. Oogami: See you, Kohran. (2nd option) Oogami: You really liked that person, didn't you? Kohran: Eh......? Me......? ......is it true? Not it's not! Well...... it may be...... true. Oogami-han, could you leave me alone for a bit? I want to think a little by myself. Please...... Oogami: ......I understand. Kohran: Oogami-han......? Oogami: What? Kohran: Um, Oogami-han...... there's something I forgot to tell you...... Oogami: ......? Kohran: That person............ reminded me very much of you...... Oogami: Kohran...... Kohran: Well, see you later...... Oogami-han. (in the salon) Oogami: Sumire-kun...... Sumire: Ahh, ensign. It has been a while. Oogami: Sumire-kun...... what have you been up to these three weeks? Sumire: Hohohoho, shopping! Western-style clothes, jewelry, perfume...... and extremely fabulous dinners! Hmm...... polishing my beauty is my special training. (2nd option) Oogami: Oh man...... Sumire: What is it...... with that face? Oogami: Well, you haven't changed a bit...... I give up. Sumire: What did you say!? Oogami: For these past weeks...... you've only been having fun? Sumire: Well...... you don't know how people feel. No doubt you...... want to say something like this? "While we've been sweating in our special training, what have you been doing!?" - right? Oogami: .................. Sumire: I...... have only been doing what I can do myself. Oogami: ......What you can do? Sumire: It's nothing. ......Please excuse me. (walking past Oogami's room) Yuri: Excuse me...... Oogami-san. Oogami: Hey, Yuri-kun. What are you doing here? Yuri: Um...... Oogami-san. Please don't blame Sumire-san too much. Oogami: Eh? Yuri: I know. Sumire-san...... has been bustling from morning to night. In order to contribute to the expense of developing the Teigeki's weapons...... Oogami: ......What did you say!? Yuri: At night, parties in the financial world; during the day, patrolling government and public agencies...... Because of this...... Sumire-san hasn't been able to sleep well. Sumire-san isn't on very good terms with her parents' home. Half of the home was blown away when the Hana-Division showed up...... Sumire-san has been going to her parents' home with her head lowered. From the Kanzaki estate to other zaibatsu (و - plutocrats, financial cliques, and/or conglomerates) she has gone to commission investments...... Oogami: Sumire-kun...... has been doing this...... Yuri: Thanks to the large sum of invested funds gathered thanks to Sumire-san...... the once halted Hana-Yashiki Armaments Production Line has begun to move. Moreover, it won't do to be absent from the Imperial theatre while you and the others are gone, right? Oogami: ............ Yuri: Sumire-san...... isn't very meek...... I think it's no doubt that you weren't noticing her. Oogami: Sumire-kun......is...... Yuri: Oogami-san. If you especially want to thank Sumire-san...... don't say so. (?) If you just believe that Sumire-san is important...... then please close up Sumire-san's conditions in your heart. Oogami: Sumire-kun...... (at Sumire's door) Oogami: If Sumire-kun...... is in her room, it would be good, but...... (knocking) It's Oogami...... Sumire-kun, are you there? Sumire: ......It's you, ensign. Is there something you want with me? Oogami: ......I want to speak with you. Do you suppose you could answer the door......? Sumire: ............Come right in. I'm opening the door. ......If you're here to preach, then I'm sorry. Oogami: N- no...... that's not it...... I came thinking I would apologize to you. Sumire: ......Eh? Oogami: While I was gone...... it seems you've made great efforts for us in acquiring funds...... Sumire: .................. Well...... what do you mean? I do not remember any such thing. I do not know from whom you heard that, but I have only been enjoying myself all this time. As a result, I'm very tired. I was planning on taking a nap right now. Oogami: Sumire-kun............ Sumire: Ensign...... don't be bothered by anything strange, and please show your face to Iris or Kohran. Those girls...... have been waiting such a long time for your return...... Oogami: ......I see. Thank you, Sumire-kun. (after going to various places, you will hear the alarm) Oogami: The alarm!? Have the Kouma come!?! ......Okay. I'll show you the results of our special training! (in the war planning room) Oogami: Oogami and all members of the TeikokuKagekidan - Hana-Division gathered! Yoneda: Mm...... The Kouma have appeared here in Ginza. You must move out urgently! Sakura: But, Chief Yoneda...... The Koubu...... are unusable. How are we supposed to fight? Yoneda: Don't worry about it. Everyone, come to the hangar. (in the hangar) Oogami: ......Wh- what are these!? Yoneda: The new model Soul Child Armor Shinbu (_ - roughly, "warrior of the gods")! Oogami: Shinbu!! Iris: Yaay! They look so cool! Kanna: You've been hiding these revived guys from us! Yoneda: They're not merely new. Kohran...... show them the Rei no Are (A)! Kohran: The result of my experiments is perfect! Sakura: Wh- what is that......? Yoneda: The apparatus that raises the transmission of moving power of the Soul Child Armor to its greatest extent! Maria: Kohran...... in order for you to make this...... Sumire: Kohran's special training was making this. Kohran: Heheheh...... I guess you could say that. Yoneda: ......Okay, Oogami! Give the order to move out!! (2nd option Sa+ Ma+ Ka+) Oogami: All right, everyone! Let's show them the results of our special training! Maria: Understood! Kanna: I'll show you...... the power of a one-strike certain kill! Sakura: Let's do our best, Oogami-san! Oogami: This power...... the Koubu doesn't even compare to it...... With this, we can do it!! Sakura: Oogami-san! Oogami: Sakura-kun, let's do our best. Show me the results of your special training! Sakura: Yes! ......Um, Oogami-san. Well...... during your special training with Maria-san...... Oogami: What is it? Sakura: ......Oh, no, it's nothing! I'm sorry, at a time like this...... Oogami: Okay! Soul Child Armor - Shinbu, activate! TeikokuKagekidan - Hana-Division, move out! Sakura: Understood!! (Eyecatch) Inoshishi: (laughing) Bake! Burn up! Everything in this world, turn to ash! Oogami: That's as far as you go! TeikokuKagekidan, sanjou!! Inoshishi: So you've come...... the fools who defy Satan without knowing their fate! (as you fight the enemy during the course of this battle, the members of the Hana-Division will marvel over the amazing power in the Shinbu.) (after all the lesser demons have been destroyed) Inoshishi: (laughing)......My name is Inoshishi! Eat this!! The burning evil inferno of hell!! (after Inoshishi attacks) Sakura: What was that attack just now!? He's different from our previous enemies! Oogami-san, be careful! (after Inoshishi uses his Hissatsu (2nd time?)) Inoshishi: Guwahhahha. Isn't it impressive!? All of my burning flame techniques! How did you like that!? (if you say nothing) Inoshishi: What? Your mouth won't open!! Kuwahhahhahhahhahhahha!! Fujieda: Good work, Oogami-kun. Now that Inoshishi is negligent, his defense has dropped. (after Inoshishi is beaten) Inoshishi: Satan-sama! Forgive me! Kohran: All right, let's go. (victory pose & eyecatch) Sakura: Aoi Satan...... I absolutely will not forgive your dirty way of doing things. Fujieda: For now...... The sanctity of Teito has been protected. Maria: Has it? Iris: Has the battle begun again? Sakura: Now matter what happens, we must protect our Teito! Oogami: Now...... is the true battle. Ŗ\ - Scenes from next episode Oogami-han, something's strange this time. Something's up with Ayame-han - suspicious, isn't it? Next time on Sakura Taisen, "The Final Weapon Revealed." Taishou zakura ni rouman no arashi! Hang in there, Commander-han! (expect lots more fan service this time too?) Shika: Satan-sama, the Kouma troops are assembled here! Satan: Now, finally the time for you rise out aboveground has come! Destroy! Destroy completely! The destruction of everything! Aah, how beautiful! All shall perish and a new life shall be born! This destruction is the prelude to a new life! Kouma: Uoooo! Satan: The night of the red moon...... at that time the most powerful Kouma shall be revived...... We will hold the most reliable destructive power!! Kouma "Shika"! Shika: Yes! Satan: You will buy us time until then...... Shika: As you wish...... Satan: Don't you believe sincerely that we should take vengeance for Inoshishi in abundance? Shika: Yes...... Satan-sama...... I would like you to acknowledge me as the strongest...... ξыb - Episode 9 ȭفIɒ - The Final Weapon Revealed Fujieda: Who...... are you...... Voice: (laughing) Fujieda: Who? Who is it? Eh...... kyaaa! ......hanh, haah...... haah...... Oogami: Let's see...... the demon from out of the darkness, forthcoming in this present world...... brings about the darkness. The continent of darkness Yamato (Όa), from within its seal...... ......Sounds difficult. Kohran: Oogami-han. What were you reading just now? Oogami: Mm. I just though I'd learn a little about the Kouma...... Sakura: Hmm, what book is it? Oogami: Um, it's a copy of HouShinKiShoDen (u_L`v- "Legend of the Liberated God"? - the romanization is probably wrong too......). Chief Yoneda lent it to me. Kanna: Hey, let me see it for a sec. Oogami: Hey, handle it with care! It's a valuable book, you know!? Maria: Ah, Commander, there you are. The chief is...... Ah? That book...... Kanna: Maria, you know about this book? Maria: Yes - when I became commander of the Hana-Division, the chief lent it to me. Oogami: Oh, to you as well? Maria: Yes - everything you need to know about being commander of the Hana-Division is supposedly written in it. Mostly, I received orders from Ayame-san at that time, so I read it, but...... (1st option) Oogami: Maria...... could you tell us about this book? Maria: It doesn't really matter to me, but...... when Chief Yoneda lent it to me immediately after becoming commander...... didn't he tell you to make your own understanding of it? Oogami: Oh well...... I think I'll take a rest. Maria: ............Commander, if you leave such an important book on the floor...... Iris: Oniichan, I brought you juice! Oogami: Eh? Yeah, thanks, Iris. Maria: Ah, Iris! Watch you feet!? Iris: Eh? ......Ah! Oogami: I- Iris! (2nd option - protect the important book) Oogami: Uwaa! Th- that's cold! Kohran: Aah! Oogami-han's a mess! Iris: Sorry, oniichan...... Kohran: But at least the book didn't get wet, so it's good, right? Oogami: It's not that good! Because of that I'm soaking wet! Sakura: Um...... Oogami-san. Please use this handkerchief. Sumire: Ah...... it would be rude for the ensign to use a handkerchief such as that! Please use mine. Oogami: (Wh...... what should I do? These two are both offering me a handkerchief at the same time!) (1st option - take Sakura's Sa+ Su-) Oogami: Thank you, Sakura-kun. Sakura: Oh no...... Sumire: ............ ......! It's already that time. If we don't start preparations for the performance...... Sakura: Ah, is it already that time? Oogami: What is today's performance? Kohran: The Great Dreaded Dragon IslanduΌѡ㽪v. Iris and I are the leads. Sumire: Ever since Tsubasa (Wings), Kohran has been the lead. Oogami: The Great Dreaded Dragon Island? What's that about? Iris: Hmm, it's the story of Tankentai (TΈ?). Oogami: ......? Kohran: The Great Dreaded Dragon Island is an adventure in the southeast with blood and meat. (or something?) The mysterious ruins of an ancient civilization, aborigines, suspicious-looking ceremonies! Resounding yelling! Many hidden traps along the way!! Oogami: Hmm...... sounds interesting. But what kind of story is it? Iris: Hmm...... it's a konto. Kohran: Yes, it's a comedy! The basis of this public performance is laughs. Oogami: Konto? A comedy? If so...... is Maria doing this as well? Maria: No, this time I'm not peforming. I'll be backstage. Oogami: Ah...... I see. (I'd be concerned if I saw Maria's konto acting.) Kanna: Well, let's go. Maria: Ah...... commander! I almost forgot. Chief Yoneda is calling. Oogami: Eh...... yeah, understood! Where is he? Maria: The chief is waiting in the basement storeroom. Oogami: Basement storeroom......? He doesn't want to tell me to sort the storeroom this time, does he......? Maria: Commander, the chief seemed to be in a hurry, so I think you should go there as fast as you can. (in the basement storeroom) Oogami: What do you want in the basement storeroom? Yoneda: You'll see soon...... Oogami: Th...... this is...... Yoneda: Yes, this is the enemy we are fighting now...... the Kouma. Oogami: Kouma...... Yoneda: They are troublesome enemies whose strength is to an extent to which the Kuronosukai could not compare. Oogami: Yes...... Yoneda: That is everything you have been told so far since they appeared. Fujieda: Look at this...... Oogami: Th- there are Kouma in a painting so old! (If you can't find them, look harder.) Yoneda: This is the oldest confirmation of them we have in the present day. Fujieda: The battle with the Kouma did not start now. Yoneda: From four hundred years ago...... the battle on this earth between humans and Kouma has been spread. At that time we humans were victorious, despite how bitterly, and those Kouma were sealed deeply underground. But the Kouma have concealed themselves, continuing to view the situation in secret for an opportunity to invade aboveground. Fujieda: Each time they have appeared in the past they have made a small scale attack to tear our bound world. But, each time they appeared above ground we humans defended against that and confined them again underground. Oogami: There were people who fought the Kouma before us? Yoneda: Long, long ago...... yes. They were formed by the same objective written in the RikugunTaiKoumaButai. The tale of long, long ago...... it was an era when no one really protected Teito from demons. I, and Shinguuji Kazuma...... Together, Sakura's father and I increased the number of colleagues in private. Even while continuously feeling the presence of evil...... Oogami: B- but...... in an era without the Soul Child Armor, how could you fight them? Yoneda: Obviously, we couldn't fight the demons as well as we do now. Since we had nothing more than our own flesh and a sword...... By the time the Kouma wars had ended, we had lost both Shinguuji Kazuma and Yamazaki Shinnosuke. Fujieda: ............Six years ago...... Yoneda: Shinguuji Kazuma had a special kind of spiritual power...... the Haja no Chikara (j׭ - Evil-destroying power). Shinguuji Kazuma drew upon his life to seal the Kouma...... Oogami: Haja no Chikara......? Yoneda: I believe I told you before, but the Haja no Chikara is power of the Ma wo Karu Mono (uڑv - the ones who hunt evil) that has existed since ancient times. I can only tell you that that power is inherited through bloodline. ......The Shinguuji house is one of those. Oogami: The bloodline of the Shinguuji house......? ......Then, does Sakura-kun have that power as well? Fujieda: Yes, it is true...... but the way of unleashing that power is a mystery...... Perhaps Colonel Shinguuji...... meant to tell us after Sakura has become an adult...... (Colonel = Ό (taisa - also a navy captain). However, Ό may also be read as Oosa, a person's name, which caused some confusion until I did more extensive research.) Yoneda: But every Shinguuji gone now was lost in opposition to the Kouma...... ......But we have a trump card against the Kouma...... Oogami: Trump card......? Yoneda: Yes, a trump card. It should be used only as a last resort. That...... is this! Oogami: Th- this is......! Yoneda: These are called the Majinki. Oogami: Majinki......? Yoneda: As you can see, the Majinki are the sacred tools of old - the sword, jewel, and mirror. (The Majinki - _ɒ ("Magical God Tools") are the sword - (ken), jewel - ړ (tama), and mirror - Ѳ (kagami) that are rooted deep within the Japanese culture and may be found in many anime series.) If we hold these virtuous items we can repress the evil power. Their efficacy...... is absolute! Oogami: ......!! Yoneda: But...... if it happens to such a great extent, we won't be able to use it. No, that must not be! Oogami: Chief Yoneda......? Yoneda: No, it's nothing...... ......The Majinki are the legendary amplifier of old. If those with an evil heart hold them the evil power will be amplified...... Because of the Kuronosukai's RokuHaSeiKoumaJin, the Kouma are now freed from their world of confinement...... We can just barely hold off the Kouma as they appear aboveground because of these Majinki. The Majinki that we hold are the final stronghold of legend. Oogami: The final...... stronghold...... Fujieda: But, Oogami-kun, at the same time, the Majinki...... are the greatest threat. ......If the Majinki were to fall into the enemy's hands...... At that time, the power would be so great that the earth would overflow with Kouma! Oogami: But, why would such important things be in the Imperial Theatre's...... basement storeroom, no less? Yoneda: This Ginza home base is the point in Teito with the greatest concentration of spiritual energy...... Fujieda: .....The spiritual energy in nature and the power of living things there...... the power of people's thoughts. At the place of that power...... We sing and dance. Protecting the sacred tools of old...... Oogami: ............ Yoneda: Most likely, that man...... Aoi Satan's aim is these Majinki. Oogami: These......? Yoneda: These Majinki are the key to unfastening the seal of the Seimajou ( - Castle of the Holy (Evil) Spirit?). They are in our hands now. Oogami: Seimajou? Yoneda: The castle used for killing hundreds of years ago! That such thing must not appear on this earth! Is that clear? This is the greatest secret of military authorities. Do not speak of it to anyone. Only Ayame-kun and I are able to open this strongbox. Therefore, he will definitely attack here! Prepare yourself! The Majinki are, as written (_ɒ), the ultimate sacred tools (ɒ) hiding the power of the devil () and god (_)! I have kept silent about it to you, but...... your true duty in the Teigeki is to protect these Majinki from the treacherous! Oogami: ......!! Fujieda: Since the key to unfastening the seal on the Seimajou is here, they will come without fail to take the Majinki by force! Yoneda: Oogami...... The Kouma will appear here without fail. At that point, I want you together with Ayame-kun to reinforce the defense of the perimeter of the Majinki. Oogami: Yes sir! Yoneda: In order to have utmost important secrecy in your duty, you must absolutely never tell anyone of this outside or certainly even in the Hana-Division! Oogami: Chief Yoneda, does Sakura-kun...... know the reason why her father died? Yoneda: No...... I haven't told her. Oogami, can you tell her? That Kazuma died fighting the demons...... and that now the ones you are fighting are those demons......! To burden an eighteen-year-old girl so...... it is far too heavy. If she knew such a thing...... Oogami: Sakura-kun would...... Yoneda: Oogami...... what I have just told you, you must never tell Sakura...... is that clear!? Oogami: Yes...... Iris: Just a little more and we'll have finally reached the hidden treasure! Kohran: Watch out! There is a trap! Follow in my steps! Iris: Okay. Kohran: First, three steps left, then four steps right, and seven steps ahead...... Is how we have to walk...... Iris: Owowow...... Maria: It may seem like fun at first glance but even Konto is quite difficult. Kanna: It's too bad the commander isn't enjoying it. Sakura: That's because Oogami-san's not here. Kohran: He's not here? What happened? Iris: Huh? Oniichan went downstairs with Ayame-oneechan earlier. Sakura: ......With Ayame-san? Maria: To the basement? Kohran: What for? Sumire: It's suspicious, isn't it. Sakura: Oogami-san...... Oogami: If we set up a trap here, then when the enemy comes inside, he won't be able to reach the basement storeroom. Fujieda: ......A trap? But what kind? (2nd option) Oogami: If we, for example, fastened a steam pipe from the storeroom and used some kind of jet propulsion...... Fujieda: I see. Good idea, Oogami-kun. Oogami: Is it? We could use a duplicate steam pipe leading upstairs. If we tried looking there'd be some good plumbing...... Fujieda: Ah, your face...... you're sweating. Oogami: Ah, it's all right! I'll do it myself!! Fujieda: Don't be so diffident! In these times, even a gentleman has to take care of his personal appearance. Oogami: (As always a good fragrance......) Fujieda: Good. You are meek, Oogami-kun. Oogami: Y- yes...... Fujieda: Never deceiving yourself is an important thing. Oogami: I- I wouldn't do such a thing. Fujieda: I...... am a bit worried that I haven't been myself lately...... Oogami: Ayame-san......? Fujieda: From now on, be honest with yourself, Oogami-kun. Oogami: Eh, well...... I'm embarrassed...... (All right. I am obviously not getting something right here......) Maria: ......What could he be doing? Sakura: ............! Sumire: That face ensign has...... As though he's in love. Kanna: Ah, that face is no good. Kohran: No, the commander is unattainable. (Literally, "flowers on inaccessible heights.") Iris: Oniichan, you look bad when you're embarrassed! Sakura: Oogami-san............ (Eyecatch) Oogami: Whew...... it's already that time...... So many things have happened today...... I'll try sorting it out a bit...... (1st option - about the Majinki and Kouma) The Majinki...... The key to unfastening the sealed Seimajou...... And if it is used by the virtuous the strong power of the Kouma can be checked...... The Kouma...... Inhuman creatures that have fought with humans since long, long ago...... A powerful enemy with whom the Kuronosukai do not even compare...... If the Majinki were to come into their hands, the strong power they have now would increase and overflow the earth...... If that were to happen, we alone could not stop them...... ......Only we must not give them the Majinki...... (2nd option - about the Haja no Chikara) The Haja no Chikara...... The spiritual power held and used by Sakura-kun's father...... The Shinguuji house in which the Haja no Chikara is inherited...... Her father died without explaining the means of using the power...... (3rd option - about the Seimajou) The Seimajou...... The castle of the Kouma sealed four hundred years ago...... If the enemy's objective is to revive the Seimajou...... then they will come here to take the Majinki by any and all means. I must protect the basement storeroom any way I can...... For now, I think I've sorted everything on my mind. (1st option - search your mind) But...... wait...... I'm pulling something out...... (1st option - the influence of the Haja no Chikara) The Haja no Chikara............ The ones who can use it, the people with the ӭЭ(?) bloodline...... Colonel Shinguuji...... Sakura-kun's father defeated the Kouma using the Haja no Chikara. And at that time lost his life...... Does the power go to the extent of taking a person's life? (2nd option - the reason the Majinki is in the Imperial Theatre) Protecting the Majinki, protecting Teito...... Protecting Teito is the TeikokuKagekidan's mission...... And above that is the Majinki, and since continuously guarding it is necessary, it is here...... (3rd option - the Kouma Sensou) In the battle with the Kouma...... Colonel Shinguuji, Sakura-kun's father, died. What's more, Major Yamazaki Shinnosuke is unaccounted for...... what kind of people were those two, I wonder? The TaiKoumaButai that fought agains the Kouma even without the Soul Child Armor...... If an entire war should occur again against the Kouma...... There cannot be another Kouma Sensou...... Hm? Who is it? ......Come in. (Note that the girl with whom you are closest will enter now. Sakura is merely an example.) Ah...... Sakura-kun...... Sakura: Oogami-san! Where did you go until now!? Oogami: Sa- Sakura-kun. ......What is this? Sakura: I'm the one asking that. Where did you go and what did you do with Ayame-san!? Oogami: W- well............ th- that is...... Sakura: It seems you can't say. Oogami: No, that's not it! Sakura: Then please tell me. I am a member of the Hana-Division! Oogami: Wh...... what should I do!? (1st option - tell the truth) Oogami: The truth is...... Sakura: The truth is......? Oogami: This is our greatest secret, and I was told never to tell anyone, but...... Sakura: ......? Oogami: It seems that the enemy's objective is sacred tools called the Majinki...... Sakura: Majinki? Oogami: Right now the power of the Kouma is sealed by the effect of those Majinki. But if those Majinki were to fall into the enemy's hands, then this world would most likely...... Sakura: ......Can that be!? Where are those Majinki? Oogami: They exist in a room in the Imperial Theatre. Protecting them in secret to the death is my and Ayame-san's duty. (Ayame-san's and my duty? The duty of me and Ayame-san? The duty of Ayame-san and me? Damn the English language!) ......Do you understand? Do you think I had said something good to you in the beginning? (Somebody smack me if I ever claim to know Japanese again......) Sakura: Oogami-san...... Oogami: (Sakura-kun doesn't know......) (about her father...... the sacrifice he made......) Sakura: Oogami-san? Oogami: (If she knew that...... then undoubtedly, Sakura-kun......) (Sakura-kun mustn't know that......) Sakura-kun...... Sakura: ......? Oogami: I will definitely protect you and everyone in the Hana-Division...... Sakura: O- Oogami-san...... Oogami: Let's fight the Kouma together! Sakura: ......Yes! Kanna: What the...... well, aren't they in a good mood? Sumire: What's with you, ensign! After Ayame-san is Sakura-san? Aren't you a bit indecisive!? Kohran: What's with you, Sumire-han? Isn't it a bit crooked for you to concern yourself? Sumire: Wh- what did you say!? Kohran: Now now, don't get upset. ......But it's a bit odd that Oogami-han is still hiding something from us. Fujieda: ............I...... what in the world...... ......Where am I going............ I...... don't know...... What in the world...... is happening...... to me...... Woman: What's troubling you......? Hmhmhm...... Fujieda: Who in the world...... are you......? Woman: Hmhmhm...... Me? Have you forgotten? Soon you will see...... Fujieda: Eh? Woman: Hmhmhm...... Satan: Hmhmhm...... a little more. Kouma "Shika" - are you there? Shika: Yes! Satan: Move out. Throw those interfering little girls into confusion until the most powerful Kouma awakens! Shika: Confusion...... ......Yes sir, agreed! Satan: Hmhmhm...... Humans - in a little while your existence will lapse from this earth. The red moon...... and darkness...... destruction...... Appropriate in the prelude to a new world. Fujieda: What in the world...... is happening to me...... ............I don't know...... something is happening to me...... Satan: ......The time of awakening is nearing. Now, you may awaken...... Fujieda: ......What's happened............ to me......... ......What's happening......? Satan: Deep within the red moon, the most powerful Kouma is revived...... Now......! Fujieda: ......I- I...... ......truly...... I...... ......Who in the world...... am I......? Oogami: The red moon............ an eerie night...... I think I'll check the basement...... I wonder if the basement is okay...... Hm? Hu...... huh? Ayame-san...... Fujieda: ............ Oogami: Ah, Ayame-san...... what's wrong? Fujieda: ......Uh...... k-...... ......uh! Oogami: A- Ayame-san! What's wrong!? Are you all right!? Fujieda: ......Uh...... uuh............ Oogami: Wh- what's wrong!? ......Uwah! U- uwaah! ......G- uh! Fujieda: Ugggg...... gg...... Oogami: A...... Ayame-san! ......ug...... G...... gwah! A- Ayame-sa...... G...... gah...... ca...... can't breathe...... A...... Ayame-san...... Please stop...... Guah...... gohoh! G-...... no - no good...... what strength...... (1st option) Oogami: (more struggling to breathe) G-...... no - no good...... what strength...... (2nd option - call out to her) Oogami: A...... Ayame-san...... Please stop...... Fujieda: ......! I...... I'm sorry...... Oogami-kun...... are you all right......? I...... I...... Oogami: N...... no...... (cough)...... I - I'm fine............ More importantly...... what's going on......? Fujieda: ......Oogami-kun, please............ hold me tightly. Oogami: ......Eh...... Fujieda: Please...... quickly......!? (2nd option) Fujieda: Please...... more strongly...... ...... Oogami: A- Ayame-san...... Fujieda: Uuh...... Sakura: (I don't know my feelings...... where could Oogami-san be?) (He must have gone to the basement on patrol......) (if you didn't call out to her earlier) ! Eh! What!! Oogami-san is-!! Fujieda: Ggg...... Sakura: Ayame-san! Please stop!! Fujieda: ............Uuh. Oogami: G...... (coughing) Sakura: O- Oogami-san! Are you all right!? Oogami: I - I'm fine! More important is the order to move out! Go on ahead! ......I'll go soon. Sakura: B- but! Oogami: Go already! I'll explain later! Sakura: Y- yes! Understood! Please come later without fail! Oogami: ......Yes, I'll go soon...... (Ayame-san...... the basement storeroom...... moreover, what in the world......) (if you did call out to Ayame and are now holding her) Sakura: Eh!? What's the meaning of this...... Ha! The enemy! ........................ .............................. ............Oogami-san...... Oogami: Ayame-san! Fujieda: O...... Oogami......kun...... ......I'm sorry...... I...... Oogami: ............Ayame-san...... what in the world happened? Are you all right? Fujieda: I'm sorry, Oogami-kun...... Right now...... more importantly...... quickly...... the enemy......! Oogami: B- but...... Ayame-san. Fujieda: Please...... Oogami-kun...... Now...... I...... Oogami: ......Ayame-san...... Fujieda: I'm all right, go...... Oogami: ......Yes...... Fujieda: ......Oogami-kun, take this...... Oogami: This is-! A- Ayame-san...... Fujieda: If...... if something should happen to me, shoot me without fail with that gun! Oogami: Wh- what do you mean!? Fujieda: ......This is an order. Oogami: An- an order, you say - th- that...... why, such a thing...... Fujieda: Please...... No one but myself is requesting...... ......Oogami-kun. Go, Oogami-kun! Oogami: A- Ayame-san...... Fujieda: Now, Ensign Oogami! What are you stalling for!? Move out! Oogami: Y- yes! Fujieda: Uh...... ............it's wrong............ ......it's wrong...... it's wrong...... (Eyecatch) Shika: Satan-sama told me to create confusion...... I don't care! In order to show the true power of me, Shika, I will destroy the Hana-Division! Sakura: That's as far as you go! TeikokuKagekidan, sanjou! Shika: Huh, you've come...... little girls!! Yoneda: All members, wait and listen to me! The Kouma's objective is the most important secret hidden inside the the theatre. Maria: The most important secret? Sumire: What is it? Yoneda: I'll explain when the battle is over! At any rate, they must not be able to enter the theatre. Kanna: Keeping silent from us, how unfriendly...... Kohran: Yossha! We'll beat them and learn the reason right away!! Shika: (laughing) ......Kagekidan...... I will destroy your home base. Kagekidan! The curtain of you worms' lives, I, Shika, shall drop!! Wahhahhahhah! Kanna: Uwah!? The whole landscape is covered with snow!! Kohran: It's amazingly cold!! Sumire: Ensign, please look! The enemy is doing something suspicious under the cover of the blowing snow! Oogami: What!? Shika: (laughing) Now I shall summon the Kouma and destroy your base of operations! Oogami: Damn! He means to get inside the theatre! Everybody protect the theatre!! There seem to be suspicious devices to summon Kouma from all directions. Let's destroy them all!! Shika: My subordinates!! Enter the theatre!! (After destroying all the devices) Sumire (or whoever): All of them have been destroyed!! All the remains now is Shika! Shika: Little girls! Now you will know the true power of the most powerful Kouma, I, Shika! (After using his hissatsu) Shika: (laughing), how great I am. The Kagekidan is insignificant! (if you say nothing) Shika: What? You are so frightened you cannot speak!! (laughing) Yoneda: No! He's the type who increases in power when he's in high spirits! (After you win) Oogami: He was a strong opponent...... but we win without fail. Okay, everyone! Let's go like we always do!! Sakura: Together! |[YccíI (Eyecatch) Satan: Hmph, useless cretin...... Now, that one can awaken...... Yoneda: Indeed, I have a vague apprehension...... what a bad night...... Fujieda: ........... Uh...... K............ ......Satan...... sama............... Yoneda: ......? Ayame-kun. What in the world are you doing here? !! Ayame! What's wrong!? Fujieda: ............ K............ Sa...... Sa......tan......sama...... Yoneda: !! A- Ayame! ......Damn, the Majinki! Satan: (laughing) Sakura: Over there! Maria: Aah!? Sakura: A- Ayame-san...... Satan: (laughing) The Majinki will be handed over to me...... Sakura: Majinki!? Satan: Now, Ayame...... this way. Fujieda: ......Y- yes...... (1st option) Oogami: N- no! Fujieda: Oogami-kun! Sh...... shoot me! Oogami: ! Fujieda: Quickly, quickly, shoot! This is an order, Oogami-kun! Oogami: ...... Sakura: Oogami-san...... don't shoot! (do nothing) Oogami: D...... D...... Damn...... Fujieda: Never...... deceive yourself, Oogami-kun. Oogami: ......I can't...... Sakura: Oogami-san...... Fujieda: Oogami-kun...... Satan: (laughing) ......You are quite cynical about the locked seal and the strongest one...... (?) Fujieda: ...... Satan: Now...... remember...... Ayame...... the memory of the lost garden of pleasure...... Satan: (laughing) The strongest Kouma is closest to me...... Again, as dependable as ever...... Ayame (E), you have finally awakened! (E = kill, = woman) Ayame: Yes...... we are together as usual. As I promised in the previous world, I am at your side this time. Satan: Hm...... Ayame: A chance meeting late this night is eternal...... Let us spread our place of subjugation, the pleasure garden of evil...... Satan: (laughing) Ayame: Now then, this is what we have been searching for. Please supply us with the Majinki. Sakura: Aah!! Oogami: A- Ayame-san!! You mustn't give him those! Satan: (laughing) ......Now all you shall have are suffering...... despair...... Ayame: And...... destruction...... Oogami: N- no way...... W-wait! Ayame-san! Ayame: Your Ayame is already dead...... along with that red moon! Sakura: A- Ayame-san...... Oogami: ............ (Eyecatch) Satan: Black rain, evil wind, and the sea of sinister intent shall now unfasten the seal...... Give me power! It will finally be revived...... the Seimajou!! Oogami: Ayame-san...... .................. Sakura: Oogami-san...... Clearly there must be some mistake. For Ayame-san to have been the enemy...... Such a thing...... must be a lie! Sumire: F- for me to have been tricked is unforgivable...... Oogami: Sumire-kun...... Sumire: Completely...... I too have been fooled. Maria: If this is a dream...... then I want to wake up fast...... Such a thing...... Kohran: Ayame-han...... What should I do? Iris: That Ayame-oneechan before...... was very frightening! What happened to her? Kanna: That vice-commander...... I can't believe it! If this is a dream, wake me up...... Yoneda: Impossible that such a thing could happen...... Maria: ...... Everyone may be bitter, but we don't know when the Kouma will advance again. We should get some sleep...... Kohran: You're right...... Yoneda: Right now those girls need someone to comfort them...... Oogami, that would be you...... Oogami: ............ Yoneda: Could you check on everyone for me......? Oogami: ......Understood. Yoneda: After you've listened to each member, come to my room...... (in the dining room (Kanna)) Oogami: Kanna...... Kanna: M? Ensign...... Oogami: Can't fight on an empty stomach...... right? Kanna: Heh, I suppose...... If I just brood, I'll never get Ayame-san back, right? Oogami: Ah...... Kanna: Don't worry! With constant help I'll lead her back! Oogami: Kanna...... you should get some sleep. Kanna: Commander...... you should get some sleep yourself. Oogami: When you go to sleep...... I'll go to sleep as well. Kanna: After I eat this...... okay. ......Please...... don't worry about me. Oogami: ......Ah, I'm sorry. ......I'm going now. (at Maria's door) Oogami: It's Maria's room...... (knocking) It's Oogami...... Maria: Ah...... commander...... Oogami: ......Can I come in? Maria: ............ Oogami: Maria...... Aren't you tired? You should get some rest as well. Maria: Commander...... In the Hana-Division, I have known Ayame-san the longest. I met her four years ago in America...... At that time I was in despair, just before placing myself as a professional killer. Oogami: ............ Maria: The one who saved me then was Ayame-san...... At that time Ayame-san may have been fighting for other people...... A sad person...... Oogami: Maria...... Maria: (laughing) ......I'm no good. I'm finally telling stories of my past that I've never told anyone. Oogami: No...... it's all right. Maria: Please forget what I've just told you...... Until now...... No, until you had come...... (laughing) ......I had only been able to tell such things to Ayame-san. As soon as you've left...... I'll get some sleep. Oogami: That's good...... Maria: Th- that is so...... Oogami: ......What is it, Maria? Maria: Ayame-san, who showed the path to me so long ago...... Good or evil...... Which was Ayame-san? (in Iris's room) Oogami: It's Iris's room...... (knocking) Iris...... Are you awake? ......Huh? It's not locked...... ......Iris? Iris: Ayame- oneechan...... Oogami: Iris...... (in the library (Kohran)) Oogami: Kohran...... ......Kohran......? Kohran: (Sniff)...... Ah, Oogami-han...... Oogami: What are you doing in such a place? ......Are you crying? Kohran: I...... I know I don't have any kind of strength. Oogami: ......Kohran? Kohran: I can't use a gun like Maria-han, and I don't have Kanna-han's strength either. ......(sniff) - honestly speaking, I'm not really skilled with my fingers. In truth...... I've never gone to school. Oogami: ...... Kohran: But, Ayame-han found me. She had me study in Japan. Ayame-han is someone precious to me...... truly...... (sniff)...... (sniff)...... Why did this happen...... Oogami: Kohran...... Kohran: Well...... Oogami-han? Oogami: ......I will save her! Kohran: ......? Oogami: Ayame-san is very important to me. I will save her without fail! Kohran: (sniff)...... really? Oogami: Really, really! Now, Kohran, smile, smile! (In case you hadn't noticed, Oogami is repeating Kohran's Kansai "honma" - apparently Kansai dialect for "hontou," which equates roughly to "really.") Kohran: You're right...... A smile is best! I can't fall down now! Oogami: Yes, yes! Kohran: Thanks, Oogami-han. I'm going to my room now to get some sleep. Oogami: Yes, that's good. Kohran: Hey, commander, good night...... (in the salon (Sumire)) Oogami: Sumire-kun...... Sumire: Commander...... Oogami: You seem so depressed...... Sumire: Depressed!? That's...... ridiculous...... What does it matter if one or two such women should disappear!? (1st option) Oogami: ......Well, aren't you meek!? Sumire: Eh...... Not meek...... you say! Commander...... are you going to say the same thing everyone else does!? (2nd option) Oogami: Sumire-kun...... You should get some sleep. Sumire: Hmph! I don't need your solicitude! Commander...... aren't you going to say the same thing everyone else does!? Sumire: Excuse me! Oogami: Sumire-kun...... (at the terrace (Sakura)) Oogami: Sakura-kun...... You're at such a place? Sakura: ......I was feeling a little down, so...... Oogami: (I'm fairly beaten...... everyone in the Hana-Division is feeling down......) Sakura: This is what Satan was after. I'll have to hang in there. Oogami: ............ Sakura: We can't be feeling that we've already lost! The battle begins now! Oogami: You've...... become strong, haven't you. Sakura: Oogami-san, did you...... like Ayame-san? (2nd option) Oogami: Perhaps...... perhaps I did like Ayame-san. Sakura: I too...... liked Ayame-san. I admired her greatly. Someday, I wanted to become like Ayame-san...... Oogami: Sakura-kun...... Sakura: But, now it is different! I will become stronger. Right, Oogami-san! Let us rescue Ayame-san! Ayame-san has been manipulated by Satan! We will be able to save her! We can't give up on our friends! Oogami: It's all right...... it's all right, Sakura-kun! Sakura: ......! Oogami: I believe in Ayame-san! Ayame-san's true heart is not evil! Sakura: Yes! Ayame-san has merely been manipulated by Satan! Let's rescue her! There is no substitute for Ayame-san in the Teigeki, right! Oogami: Right! Let's show them the Hana-Division's capacity for united action! Sakura-kun! Sakura: Thank you, Oogami-san. Oogami: ............ Ah...... When did the snow...... Ayame-san...... Right now, in this snow...... where do I look for you? (at the manager's office) Yoneda: ......Who is it? Oogami: It's Oogami. Yoneda: Oh, I see. Come in. Oogami: Excuse me, chief. Yoneda: Oh, Oogami...... You checked on the condition of the Hana-Division......? Oogami: Yes...... Yoneda: Ah well, good work...... Oogami: ............ Yoneda: Ah, yes. I have something I want to ask you. Oogami: Yes, what is it? Yoneda: ......The truth is...... I have a report I would like to write...... Do you know where the paper for reports is? Oogami: ......Hah? The paper for reports? Yoneda: Yes, they should be in that desk...... Oogami: In the desk......? Yoneda: ............Yes...... How completely miserable...... Until now I left all such things to Ayame-kun...... Oogami: ............ Yoneda: In this circumstances I don't have one woman's hand...... (or something) Oogami: ......Chief. Yoneda: ......Yes, Oogami. Oogami: ...... Yoneda: ......Ever since she appeared before me six years ago...... I always thought of Ayame-kun as my own daughter. I thought anytime or anyplace I went...... this of all times...... Oogami: ......Chief Yoneda, I will bring back Ayame-san! ......Without fail...... Without fail, I will show you I can bring her back by this hand!! ......Excuse me! Yoneda: That damned Oogami...... always talking like that...... Oogami: ........................Ayame-san...... The gun Ayame-san entrusted me with..................Ayame-san...... Voice: If...... if something should happen to me, shoot me without fail with that gun! Oogami: Ayame-san...... Voice: But no one would understand what is right. Oogami: But...... what should I...... do? Voice: No matter what happens to what is important...... You can continue to exert yourself normally without regret...... Oogami: Without regret...... That is true, Ayame-san...... Satan: (laughing) I will summon the castle of treachery. ......Ayame. Ayame: Yes. Satan: A little more time is still necessary to revive the Seimajou. For the duration, take care of the little girls. Ayame: Yes! Satan: Show me your strength. Chou: Please wait. This Ayame was but asleep until yesterday. She may make a mistake. For that duty, certainly it shall be I, Chou! Satan: Hmph...... Fine. Do as you like...... Chou: Thank you - I am so happy...... Ayame: (laughing) Chou: What are you laughing at!? Ayame: Hmhm, oh, no...... I shall go and see your skill...... Chou: The one who shall fulfill treachery with Satan shall be me...... He will never love you! Oogami: ............ Yoneda: Everyone is gathered her...... The horrifying reality has come to pass...... Kohran: What is that? In the Tokyo Bay......? Yoneda: Mm...... The red moon, the time of the unfastening of the seal, the sacred precincts of the Kouma, have been revived. The divine device of destruction is in the sacred precincts. That divine device holds the light of judgment that returns the earth to ash............ A line from u_L`v. Sakura: u_L`v......? Yoneda: Together with the Majinki, the book of predicitons written over time of most precious allies. Sumire: Precious allies...... impossible. Maria: Then, that is...... Yoneda: Yes...... the Seimajou. Oogami: Seimajou...... Yoneda: The fearful device of the gods is a Soul Child Cannon written about in ancient times. Maria: Soul Child Cannon......? Yoneda: Its light rends the heavens, and changes the earth into mist...... it is said. It appeared first in the battle four hundred years ago. The sealed continent of illusion "Yamato - Όa" is now floating again. We have no time! We must head at once to Tokyo Bay and impede the resurrection of the Seimajou! Oogami: Understood! Maria: ! Yoneda: What? Ayame: Come out of that dirty little hovel. Dogs of Teito! Sumire: Th...... that voice...... Oogami: Ayame-san...... Maria: We can not waste time. ......Everyone, let's go! (Eyecatch) Chou: Satan-sama's desire is the destruction of all, the death of all...... That desire, I shall...... Kagekidan: TeikokuKagekidan, sanjou! Oogami: A- Ayame-san!! Ayame-san! Ayame: (laughing) You've come out, I see, boy. Oogami: Ayame-san! It's me! It's Oogami! Ayame: (laughing) ......what a cute boy. Didn't I tell you Ayame has died? I will kill you now as well! Oogami: Guhah! Sakura: Oogami-san! Ayame: (laughing) Oogami: Uuh! A- Ayame-san...... Chou: It seems you have copulated with them after all - you're so lenient. Ayame: Hmhm...... Show me your way of doing things. Chou: K-! Watch! Report to Satan-sama the killing of all. Ayame: (laughing) ......It seems the ultimate stage has begun...... Yoneda: Oogami! The enemy has set up some burdensome devices. This "Chou" or whatever Kouma seems to have set up some electricity offensive apparatus. I'm not sure what they are exactly, but it's dangerous to get too close to them! Destroy them, or move around them! Oogami: Understood! Let's go, to take back Ayame-san!! (After defeating Chou's lesser demons) Chou: Watch! Ayame! The one to fulfill Satan-sama's treachery shall be me!! (After defeating Chou) Oogami: Where is Ayame-san? Ayame-saaaan!! (Eyecatch) Satan: Revive! (something) holy metropolis! - Finally! Finally! Oogami: Uwaaaa!! Wh- what was that!? Just now...... Ayame: (laughing) (something?) Oogami: ......Ayame-san, don't you understand yet!? It's me - it's Oogami! Ayame: (laughing) ......I understand, Oogami Ichirou. I am as I always am...... Satan-sama's strongest and closest subordinate, Kouma Ayame. Oogami: You're being manipulated! Please wake up! Ayame-san!? Ayame: Your beloved Fujieda Ayame is no longer in this world. If, for some reason, you wish to see her...... search that world. Sakura: Ayame-san! Open your eyes! Ayame: (laughing) It's certain death, cute girl. Die. Satan: Ayame, the Seimajou has been revived...... Come back...... Ayame: Yes! ......A narrow escape from death, isn't it. (laughing) ......I'll see you next time. (laughing) - boy...... if you want to see me, come to the Tokyo Bay. Oogami: Ayame-saan!! Maria: Commander! There's no time! Let's head to the Tokyo Bay right now! Oogami: Ah...... Ayame-san...... Kohran: Look...... the fog has cleared. Soon it will be morning...... This world will not have an endless night! Iris: Ah - Look at that! Kohran: Wh - what is it!? Sumire: Aa...... aah!! Kanna: Dowaaaa!! Th- that's...... Maria: Seimajou...... Oogami: Th- that is Seimajou...... That...... doesn't look like a city! (uhh......) Satan: Look now! This is the continent of illusion effaced from history - Yamato! Soon, my treachery will be unstoppable. I am your ruler! I am your God, Satan! Malice, fury, despair! Now, in my hand...... The new Teito is here - Yamato! Ŗ\ - Scenes from next episode It's the final battle! But, this is not the end! By our hand our Teito will be protected! TeikokuKagekidan, koko ni sanjou! Next time on Sakura Taisen - the final episode, "The Final Judgement." Taishou zakura ni rouman no arashi! I won't be afraid of anything anymore! (Eyecatch) Taishou Year 13 Teito Tokyo "It is the end of this world...... ......the end......" Ayame: Desire...... malice...... jealousy...... All human vices add to the power of the Soul Child Cannon. When Satan-sama's prayers end, this fire shall carve twelve engravings...... At that time, the light of darkness will pour down over the earth, the world shall crumble down, and return to darkness! ف\b Episode 10 فԋR The Final Judgement Yoneda: Asakusa...... ......Ginza...... ............Ueno...... ......Everywhere............ there are horrible circumstances...... It's bad, but...... Seimajou has been revived. It is only a matter of time before the gradual destruction of Teito. Under these circumstances, the fate of the world...... (on Iris) Iris: That's...... the Seimajou? There are lots of bad guys there, right......? Iris knows...... that if there are bad people there, incredible power is gathered. (on Maria) Maria: Tenkai's RokuHaSeiKoumaJin...... and the resurrection of the Kouma...... Majinki...... This...... the resurrection of the Seimajou...... was Aoi Satan's objective? Oogami: Yes, it seems so...... Maria: The Seimajou stores the power of living things, so to speak! If we don't do something...... (on Sumire) Sumire: Honestly...... No matter what we do or how great it is will make any difference! How are we supposed to fight something like that? It's impossible! Maria: What do we do, commander? (2nd option) Oogami: We're only meeting to kill a would-be avenger (?)...... Let's think a little here. Kohran: You say 'let's think,' but there's a huge island in the Tokyo Bay full of the enemy...... What is thinking going to do about such an enemy? (2nd option) Oogami: Are there no good ideas? Everyone. (on Kanna) Kanna: Hmm...... Well, if it were me, I'd go right in through the front. No matter what the enemy...... I wasn't taught to run away...... Sumire: Even if we could at this time, how do you intend to break inside from the front? You hopeless fool...... Kanna: Heh...... It's the only talent I have. (didn't get this) Sumire: Honestly, you...... Ensign, what do you think of Kanna's battle plan? (1st option) Oogami: It's an idea...... Kanna: Isn't it? After all, a woman is courage. Maria: But, the enemy's defense should be iron-clad. Isn't it too dangerous? Oogami: Maria is also right. For a frontal attack, we must be prepared for great damage. Kanna: Well, it's one idea. If anyone's got a better one, I'll go with it. (on Kohran) Kohran: Mm...... Anyway we think of to attack and invade, we'll only receive damage. Sakura: You don't have some kind of good idea? Kohran: Gathering all the weapons in Teito...... no, that's impossible...... Oogami: You don't have some kind of useful invention? Kohran: None to speak of for such a thing...... My inventions don't come out so well. (Poi-poi?) Oogami: I see...... I was hoping for one of Kohran's inventions. Kohran: I'm sorry I couldn't meet your expectations...... (on Sakura) Sakura: As for me...... How to fight...... honestly speaking, I don't know. But...... Now matter how strong they may look, there must be a weak point. If we find out what it is, we may be able to do something. Yoneda: ......Everyone, listen. The truth is, there is only one way to hit them. The thing we fear most is the activation of the Soul Child Cannon. Since the Seimajou has just been activated, the Soul Child Cannon should not have collected enough energy yet...... Oogami: Yes...... Yoneda: We must penetrate inside the Seimajou now and destroy the Soul Child Cannon before it has completed preparations! Then we should have a chance to win. But...... Oogami: It isn't...... as easy as that. Yoneda: But the Seimajou is the Kouma's base of operations! We can only estimate how many of the enemy there may be. And...... the Soul Child Cannon should be situated in the heart of the Seimajou...... Nothing up to now compares to the malicious amplified power of the Kouma!! Using this battle plan...... I can't guarantee your lives! Oogami: ......Certainly, it's up for agreement. Maria: ......We always put our lives on the line. ......Chief. Yoneda: ............ Sumire: This is our greatest battle! I shall not run away! Kanna: I shall destroy them all! With...... this fist! Kohran: Yeah, yeah! You can rest at ease and leave it to us! Iris: We absolutely will not lose! Sakura: The TeikokuKagekidan gives its life for the stage and peace! Yoneda: Y- you...... Oogami: So, chief...... no matter who tries to stop us, we will go! We, the TeikokuKagekidan - Hana-Division will show them we protect Teito!! Yoneda: ............ Maria: ......Chief!! Yoneda: ......I got it, I won't stop you anymore! Teito's future is in your hands! Come back in victory!! Oogami: Okay, everyone, let's go!! TeikokuKagekidan, move out!! Sakura: Understood!! (if Sakura is closest to you) Oogami: ......Beyond these clouds...... the Seimajou and Ayame-san are there...... Can I...... really fight Ayame-san? ......Sakura-kun...... Sakura: Oogami-san...... what's wrong, that you're in this place......? Oogami: No...... it's nothing. Sakura: ............ Oogami: ......What's wrong, Sakura-kun? Sakura: Oogami-san, your face...... doesn't say "it's nothing." You seem so...... Oogami: Eh? Sakura: You seem so lonely...... Oogami: ......Lonely, huh. ......Maybe I am. ......I wonder...... what we are going to do from this point. Ayame-san left the Teigeki...... and now we...... are going to fight that Ayame-san. Sakura: ............ Oogami: I'm...... frightened. Of finishing it...... and of being finished. ......Isn't it strange? A man who is supposed to be the Hana-Division company commander trembling...... Sakura: ............ Oogami: If I think about it, everything I've believed in seems to be being destroyed...... I seem to be losing so much, and I'm frightened...... Sakura: That...... Oogami-san! What's happened!? Why, that sort of...... Oogami: This time, the enemy exceeds our imagination...... Honestly speaking, how do we fight such a monstrous enemy......? Sakura: ............ Oogami: ......It's shameful. That a commander should be like this...... ......!? Sakura: Do you understand......? My heart...... is pounding like this. Oogami: ......Sakura-kun...... Sakura: Everyone is with us. Everyone is undoubtedly afraid as well. Oogami: ............ Sakura: I'm afraid myself. Alone, and afraid so much that I can't raise my face...... I'm not yet as strong as the others...... or my father. Oogami: ............ Sakura: But, everyone is with me...... and Oogami-san, you inspire me, so I can fight! Since Oogami-san is with me, I can do my best! Oogami: ......Sakura-kun...... Sakura: Calling yourself shameful...... Please don't speak like that! Oogami-san is here for me, so...... therefore...... Oogami: ............ Sakura: Please fight! To defend Teito, right? To defend the future, right!? Please fight...... together with us, Oogami-san! Oogami: ............ Sakura: Everyone is on the bridge. Waiting for Oogami-san...... waiting for their commander! Oogami: ......Thank you. Sakura: ............ Oogami: It's all right. I won't lose myself anymore...... For Teito, and for everyone...... Sakura: ............ Oogami: For you, I can not lose. We...... absolutely can not lose! Sakura: Oogami-san! Oogami: ......Let's go, Sakura-kun! Sakura: Yes! Kanna: Shougei-Maru, entering warning range! Seimajou confirmed off the starboard side! Altitude holding at 2000...... Oogami: Everyone, we're finally going in! Aoi Satan is perhaps our final and most powerful enemy. But we absolutely will protect Teito, and the world!! And...... Return here without fail!! Sakura: ......Understood!! Oogami: Right, Hana-Division, move out! Course, Seimajou! Kanna: Understood! Target, Seimajou! Ahead, full!! Oogami: Break through the gates no matter what it takes! Hurry the main cannon preparations! Prepare first volley of cannon fire! (Seimajou...... Ayame-san is in there......) Maria: Main cannon preparations complete! Oogami: Right! Target, Seimajou castle gate! Fire!! Iris: No way...... Kohran: No good...... it didn't do a thing. Sumire: There is nothing more that can be done. Oogami: Don't give up!! If one shot doesn't work, keep firing as many times as it takes!! Continue with the second volley! Hurry preparations for the main cannon!! Ayame: ......The ultimate stage seems to have begun. (didn't she say that last episode?) (laughing) The Shougei-Maru's firepower can't destroy the castle gate. Yoneda: I...... send the girls to the battlefield and then just sit like this...... I'm a no good army personnel...... But, I loved all of you more than anyone, and held your lives dear...... But, Ayame-kun! I refuse...... to leave this world in the hands of evil! Yuri: Kasumi: Launch preparations complete! Yoneda: Aerial battleship Mikasa - launch!! Maria: The aerial battleship Mikasa has been completed...... Yoneda: Blah blah fire! Kohran: Incredible...... what destructive power! Maria: Look! There's no trace of the Seimajou castle gate! Oogami: Chief Yoneda!! Yoneda: There's something I forgot to tell you...... When you get back, there'll be a big party!! Hurry up and come back!! Oogami: ......Understood!! Kanna!! Land the Shougei-Maru at the remains of the castle gate! We'll enter from there! Kanna: Understood! Yoneda: ......I leave it...... to you...... Yuri: Kouma from out of the Seimajou, rapidly entering our proximity. Their number, a mere two thousand! Yoneda: Prepare to meet them! Open all cannon doors! Draw the Kouma here until the Hana-Division has sufficiently arrived at the Soul Child Cannon! Yuri: Understood! (I'll just hit the "Draw Kouma here" button next to the button marked "Do not push - Mikasa is ticklish here"......) Yoneda: The Soul Child Cannon must never fire! Damned monsters...... don't underestimate humans! Ayame: Impressive, Mikasa...... is it called? Yoneda has finally come out to put his hand in. Satan: A wicked play after all. Ayame: Well, we too...... Now, welcome back to existence, Three Knights of Twilight (uũ٬ORmv)...... (Eyecatch - and here you'll see the girl you'll end up with.) Oogami: Finally...... we're entering this Seimajou and destroying the Soul Child Cannon. And...... defeating Aoi Satan and rescuing Ayame-san! Kanna: The tremors of the warriors have come! (or something) Sumire: Kanzaki Sumire, the once-a-lifetime great actress. Kohran: Let's go in high spirit! Iris: Iris will do her best! Sakura: This Teito...... this world...... we absolutely will defend! Oogami: Let's go, everyone! All: Understood!! (after beating all the Kouma) Oogami: Okay, let's go inside. I don't know what'll happen at this point. Right now let's recover! Evacuated members go for repairs right away! (What's he talking about? They didn't scratch us......) Sumire: Ensign, I can feel strong energy collecting. Kanna: The switch to open this door...... is there. Oogami: What is this!? Inoshishi: Inoshishi! Shika: Shika! Chou: Chou! (the three most redundant lines I've written in this entire faq......) The Three Knights of Twilight: Now, we are revived!! We are the Three Knights of Twilight!! Maria: The Three Knights of Twilight!? Sumire: Aren't you............ supposed to be dead!? Inoshishi: We meet again...... Shika: Pathetic fools who oppose Satan-sama! Chou: We shall now take judgement!! Kohran: Wh- what...... are these guys!? Sakura: Watch out! Their murderous intent is different than before!! Kanna: Don't screw around with me! They're childish opponents! What are the Three Knights!? Go ahead, commander, while I hold them off! Oogami: Wh- what!? No! I'm supposed to leave you behind alone!? Kanna: What did you come here to do!?! To save Ayame-san, right!? To beat Satan, right!? To protect the world, right!? Don't get sweet on me, you idiot! (Okay, that was a bad translation. And she said tako (literally, octopus) which is supposedly a pretty harsh insult) Oogami: Kanna...... Maria: Kanna is right. Let's hurry, commander! Oogami: Maria!? Maria: Quickly!! Oogami: Understood...... We'll be back soon, so wait for us until then, Kanna! Kanna: Understood!! ......I'm a bit awkward. My final line doesn't have a bit of romanticism. Now, come at me! I'm your enemy now! Shika: Keh! There's only one remaining, this moaning fool. Kanna: Turning your back on your opponent is not a law of the Kirishima Line of Karate!! Inoshishi: I'll take care of this. Kanna: I won't let you go ahead from here! Inoshishi: Weak...... what kind of opponent are you!? Now, I shall cut off the root of your breath. Kanna: Uh...... aah...... Dad...... Commander Oogami...... just one shot'll do - please, give me strength...... the final strength...... Wind...... the free god of the heavens...... Now I offer my life (?) ...... Burn! Rage! Dance in the sky, run in the heavens!! Inoshishi: Uoooooo! This is the end!! Kanna: I'll show you! Kirishima Final Technique lUN ShiHouKouSouKen!! Oogami: Kanna...... Iris: ......(sniff)...... Kanna...... Sakura: Kanna-san......!! Maria: ...... Kohran: ...... Sumire: To- to the end of the ends, she always did it her way...... the worst fool (or something)...... the worst...... Oogami: ......Everyone, let's go! Sumire: Honestly...... making me wait, how rude you are! Shika: Sorry if I'm late, but your burlesque over your friend took quite a long time! Sumire: Bu...... burlesque!? Shika: (laughing) Sumire: Aa...... Shika: Some opponent you are. Now then, I'm going to deal with the rest of you. Guaaaaaah! Sumire: Welcome to the day before yesterday (?)! Sanshita (Oż)! (I have no idea what sanshita means - at first glance it would appear to mean "three down.") Shika: L- let go! If I fall like this, so will you! Sumire: ......So...... what? Striking each other simultaneously...... while separated (?)...... it's the worst, isn't it...... Ensign-san...... everyone...... the curtain call...... I beg of you...... Oogami: Wait! Sumire-kun's not here!? Sumire-kun......!! Kohran: Sumire-kun...... Iris: (cyring) Maria: ...... Sakura: Sumire-san! I don't want to not be able to fight with you anymore...... Maria: ......There's no time. Let's go...... commander. Oogami: ......Yes! Kohran, what's wrong? Kohran: This design is bothering me. I'm going to check it out, so everyone go ahead. Don't worry. If there's a problem I'll be right behind you. Furthermore...... if there should be a battle, I'll use the secret weapon in my Shinbu!! Oogami: Eh......? What's that? Kohran: It's a secret weapon, so it's a secret. Now, leave it to me! Oogami: ......Understood. But don't do anything impossible. Kohran: Understood! This design...... is some kind of black magic thing...... Impossible - could this be...... Anti-soul magic!! Satan's been using this to revive the defeated Three Knights!! Maybe so, but I won't let him revive anything anymore! Right...... Kanna-han, Sumire-han...... Your turn is over!! (something about the fundamentals of the stage?) Quite solid, isn't it. Oh no, they got me! They set up a trap!? Be patient and endure, my Shinbu. We must hold here...... Uwaaaaa! What the-! It's this far!! My residence! My future! My dreams!! All the precious things I've finally taken into my hands...... my precious treasures! I'll destroy you! Don't underestimate the TeikokuKagekidan - Hana-Division! It's my science's win! Oogami: Kohran...... Maria: ...... Iris: No...... I hate this...... Sakura: Kohran! Kohran!! Oogami: ......Let's go! Chou: (laughing) ......Well done............ however, I will not let you preoceed from here! (various people yell as they are injured) Oogami: He's gotten incredibly strong since before! Damn! We've approached so carelessly!! Maria: There's no time! I'll hold him here! Commander, you and the others please go ahead!! Oogami: Maria! That's idiotic - not you too!! Maria: Commander! You have a mission to defend Teito! Hurry ahead......!! Please hear out my...... final selfishness...... Oogami: ......Understood. Chou: Let go!! Let go of me!! Maria: Eat this! Paruuku Vichinoi! (Russian, I'm guessing, and I didn't romanize it correctly.) Oogami: Maria...... Oogami: The Soul Child Cannon is ahead? Let's go! Chou: (laughing) ......I'm finished...... I'm done for...... But...... even if it costs my life, I will not let anyone interfere with Satan-sama! That is my loyalty to Satan-sama...... and my love...... You will accompany me to hell!! Oogami: This looks bad! He plans to self destruct! Iris!! Chou: Anything you do is a waste! There will be no trace of anything in this area. It'll all be blown away! Iris: (crying) Oogami: Let go! Let go of him! Iris!! Iris: ......I won't...... lose...... I absolutely won't lose...... Because - oniichan...... Iris will...... absolutely...... protect...... oniichan!! Chou: Let go! If you kill me you'll explode!! Iris: Oniichan, when I return, let's go on a date. (Eyecatch) Sakura: Everyone......!! Oogami: Don't turn back, Sakura-kun!! Sakura: ! Oogami: It isn't over yet!! We will defeat Satan and save this world without fail! Sakura: Oogami-san...... Oogami: Everyone's thoughts............ will never be wasted............ Watch...... Kasumi: Main engine abnormal!! Output declining! Yuri: Subsidiary engine completely halted!! There is no hope for restoration! Tsubaki: Port chaingun unusable! Yoneda: What! Even with the Mikasa it's no good......? But, however! We must defend Teito! God...... Even if it costs our lives, we will preserve justice! Oogami: What is this place!? Sakura: Oogami-san! Over there! Ayame: Welcome...... Oogami: ......! Sakura: Ayame-san! Ayame: It's so good of you to have come this far...... I can finally settle on a conclusion with you...... Oogami: Out of the way, Ayame-san! We have a mission we must fulfill! If you get in the way, even if it is you...... Ayame: Even if it is I...... what? (laughing) ......Can you defeat me, Oogami-kun? Oogami: ............ Ayame: (laughing) ......cute. Good, let us come to a conclusion. Just the two of us...... okay? Sakura: Please stop! Oogami-san!! Oogami: It's all right. I'll show you I can persuade Ayame-san. Sakura-kun, please don't involve yourself! Ayame: I'm so glad you've come...... Let the two of us come to a conclusion...... I won't let anyone interfere. Yuri: Main cannon, completely destroyed! Yoneda: What!? Tsubaki: Port anti-aircraft gun is ablaze! Yoneda: Unuu!! Kasumi: Self-moving flying control mechanism, damaged! Flight position cannot be held! Yoneda: Convert the rudder to manual! I'll do it! We're not done yet!! (Eyecatch) Ayame: Let's go! Oogami-kun! (1st option) Oogami: Ayame-san, please return to normal! Ayame: The Ayame you know is already dead...... along with that red moon! (2nd option) Oogami: Ayame-san! You've been tricked by Satan! Ayame: (laughing) The ones who have been tricked are you. From the beginning I have been the Kouma Ayame...... Fujieda Ayame never existed from the beginning...... Oogami: Guah! Sakura: Oogami-san!! Oogami: Stay back!! Please...... don't involve yourself. Ayame: (laughing) (1st option) Oogami: I don't want to fight you...... My objective is to defeat Satan. Out of the way, please, Ayame-san!! Ayame: You say you want to interfere with Satan-sama? Let me explain. Opposing us is foolish. (2nd option) Oogami: You're wrong! The real Ayame-san was a person who always helped us during bitter problems...... I longed for you when you were like that...... Ayame: Humans are truly stubborn creatures. Clinging on to memories of bygone days when I say Fujieda Ayame is no longer here...... If you really love Fujieda Ayame that much, then I shall put you, together with those memories, to eternal sleep! Oogami: Guah! Sakura: Under these conditions...... Oogami-san will...... (1st option) Oogami: Ayame-san, please stop! Ayame: What's wrong...... tonight, a ball for the two of us...... here, a feast of blood...... (2nd option) Oogami: Why...... Why are you doing this thing...... Do you truly desire to destroy the earth!? Ayame: (laughing) Yes. When I met that person, my world changed...... Jealousy...... terror...... malice...... The evil volitions that fill this world give me strength. Oogami: Guah! Ayame: What's wrong? ......This is the limit of your strength!? Can it be! You are afraid to hurt me? Truly...... what a cute boy...... Soon, I shall give you pleasure...... Sakura: Please! Ayame-san! Please return to that Ayame-san that was once with us! This night, the Soul Child Cannon will fire...... and the world will return to darkness...... Look! Tears of blood, our beautiful drink...... your wailing, a pleasing melody...... and despair is the bell that chimes our hour. How many hundred millions...... of life's despair and terrors...... together with Satan-sama...... shall I become drunk upon. Oogami: K......! Oogami: How could such a thing...... Sakura: Oogami......san...... Win...... you must...... win...... okay...... Oogami: ......I understand - Sakura-kun...... Ayame: That a human...... should do so strange a thing...... Formerly, I may have done the same thing...... Wh...... what is...... this power!? Oogami: I...... Ayame-san...... Even though you interfere...... I admired you...... Even if the world were destroyed or everything were lost, I want to return to the days when you were with us...... I believed so somwhere in my heart...... But...... everyone...... including you, has taught me! There is a time where you can not give up! There is a time where you must pick up everything and move on! I won't lose myself anymore!! Please be watching, Sakura-kun. Sakura: Yes! Sakura: You've done it......! Ayame: Well done...... Now! By your own hand, finish me off! Oogami: Ku...... Sakura: Oogami-san!? (do nothing) Oogami: ...... Sakura: Oogami-san...... Ayame: Why won't you finish me off!? Haven't you beaten me now? Oogami: ......I don't know why...... but...... For some reason I can't defeat you...... Ayame: ......Strange...... child...... I tell you, your Fujieda Ayame is already gone...... Satan: Ayame! Stop the burlesque!! Oogami: Satan!? Ayame: Satan-sama!? Satan: Get lost!! Insects! Oogami: Uwaa- A- Ayame-san!? Ayame: ...... Oogami: Ayame-saaan!! Satan: Such pretentious mockery...... No matter how far a foolish woman...... Oogami: I won't forgive you...... Aoi Satan...... We, the Teigeki, will give you the iron hammer of justice!! Satan: Hahahaha!! What are the words of one who appears to help his enemy!! Worry not...... I will send you to where your precious Ayame is waiting in hell! Sakura: I'm all right now. Oogami-san, let's beat Satan together!! Oogami: Sakura-kun!! ......All right, let's go!! Satan: Before long this world will perish! Whether you live, fight, or die, everything shall return to nothing! Hahahaha...... Look! This is my device of the gods...... Kami no Kyoui (_Ѽ - menace of the gods)...... Power of the Gods (_ - shin'i) !! (Yes, I have good consistency power......) I shall crush you insects under my foot into tiny pieces!! (afterwards) Satan: ......Impossible! I...... by your hand......! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!! Oogami: What...... do you plan to do!? Satan: (laughing) I am releasing all the energy in this castle!! In this world...... the dreadful rain shall be made to fall!! So long! TeikokuKagekidan!! In the end...... it is your...... loss!! Oogami: Stop! Satan: You humans...... Pay for your sin!! (Eyecatch) Kasumi: Chief! The Soul Child Cannon's energy is rapidly increasing! Yoneda: What!? Tsubaki: Third main cannon, greatly damaged! Main cannon, completely destroyed! Yuri: Main Engine is overheating! (Did you really need a translation for that?) Kasumi: Resuming the battle is impossible!! At this rate, the Soul Child Cannon will......! Yoneda: Okay! You three evacuate!! Yuri: Chief!! Kasumi: And you, chief? ......What'll happen to you? Yoneda: Me? Hmhmhm...... I...... still have one weapon. The last...... trump card...... Kasumi: Hah! ......You don't mean-! Yoneda: Evacuate!! Tsubaki: Chief! Yoneda: Evacuate!! Girls: Y...... yes! Yoneda: Hmph...... as a military personnel, I've received quite a good place of death. Right, Ayame-kun!? My thanks! All engines, full output!! Target...... Seimajou!! Don't underestimate humans!! Charge!! Yoneda: You think that'll do it!? This is the end!! Oogami: The Mikasa......! Did Chief Yoneda...... do it? Have we...... won......? ......We - we won!! Wh...... what!! Satan: I...... am resurrected...... My sin, my darkness. The serpent of old as the eternal undying god. The original insurrectionist who rebelled against the omnipotent father. My name...... is Satan!! Narration: Formerly, the highest class head angel, closest to God and revered, the great angel Lucifer...... Because he held such tremendous power, he opposed God the father...... and was defeated in the following violent battle. God the father banished Lucifer from heaven. He was cast down into the boundless depths of the earth. This was the beginning of hell. And Lucifer became the eternal enemy of God...... The birth of the devil king Satan. Oogami: Th...... that's Aoi Satan's true form? Satan: Come...... The time of judgement has come...... This earth will return to the darkness of its beginning...... Heavens, cry...... Earth, tremble...... Today is the great day of the beginning of darkness!! Oogami: Th- this is Satan......! At this rate, the earth will be destroyed by him...... Sakura: We mustn't be discouraged by such a thing! If we do, we'll have sold our souls to the devil! Oogami: Yes...... you're right! We will never yield to that bastard! This may be a desperate situation, but we absolutely can not give up! And, we will win without fail! ......We have the lives of all the people on earth behind us! Satan: Today is the day I fulfill my desires! Oogami: K-! Satan: Come!! (x4) --- The Angel that was Ayame: Let there be...... light...... Stand...... Oogami: !? Ayame...... san......? Angel: No, I am the head angel...... the great angel Michael...... (Pay attention to the pronunciation of her name.) I walk together with Satan, fallen on the limitless path of wickedness, and I am the one who guides...... When Satan is resurrected...... I too will be resurrected...... Oogami: The great angel...... Michael? Michael: I have been sealed in the body of this one. Now, stand. If you want to save the earth...... upon your own feet! Oogami: But...... as for myself...... my precious friends............ have been lost...... Michael: Attaining justice is a difficult thing. At this time, you must proceed over a great many corpses. However! The uncrushable courage, and moreover...... the bonds of love among people...... will bring about victory in the end! No matter what difficulty there may be...... the light of hope is in the hearts of humans...... Go...... and, make righteousness known! You have the great Father's blessing. Oogami: ......!! ......Hm!? (Eyecatch) Oogami: ......E- everyone......! Maria: Let's go, commander. Kanna: What's with that look of surprise on your face!? Sumire: (laughing) The greatest heroine of this century - Kanzaki Sumire - is revived in splendor! Kohran: I'm going too! Iris: Oniichan! Iris is going too!! Oogami: ......!! Sakura: Let us go! To the final battle!! Oogami: Yes!! Everyone, let's go! For us there is but one remaining choice!! (Ironically, the following happens whether you choose the option or not:) TeikokuKagekidan, move out!! Everyone else: Understood!! Kohran: Let's go! It is the limit of our existence (?) in Teito!! Maria: Evil will not prosper!! Kanna: Staking it all one the limit of our strength!! Sumire: The gorgeous and dazzling falling cherry blossoms!! Sakura: Even if it costs our lives!! Iris: We will defend this world's tomorrow!! Satan: Ohhhhh...... Kagekidan: TeikokuKagekidan, sanjou!! Satan: Th...... this power............ can it be!? Michael: It is so. Satan!! Satan: Michael!? Michael: The unique power which opposes your darkness...... Trust and love...... the light of the human heart. The great...... power of the Father in heaven! Satan: Such a high and mighty thing...... Michael: Let us go back...... Satan...... to the great Father's approval...... Satan: SILENCE!! Do you expect to defeat me...... with such confused ones? Michael: Everyone in the Hana-Division, Satan's weak point is the heart of the angel's body...... It is...... here. Everyone in the Kagekidan...... I leave it to you from here...... You have the great Father's blessing. (first time Satan is injured and speaks) Satan: It is a waste...... such an attack has no effect! (2nd time) Satan: (laughing) Not bad for insects...... (3rd time) Satan: Im- impossible...... That mere humans could go this far...... (Final time) Satan: Guooo...... Oogami: Now! (Eyecatch) Satan: ......Aah...... Micha...... el............ Michael: Let's go back...... Satan. ......The great Father is waiting for you. Satan: ......Will he...... forgive me? Michael...... Michael: The time of gods is boundless...... The love of gods is also boundless...... No matter how heavy your sin may be, we shall forgive it. Satan: Michael...... Michael: You are not alone. ......Now...... Satan: Silence!! I will never repent!! Neither rebelling against the Father nor falling to hell! For the love of the kingdom of God is a deception!! The humans...... do not understand! Therefore, the slaughter will repeat itself, the enmity will repeat itself, and the solid earth of life shall be destroyed!! Do not think it will be only today!! Love is not born there! There is no kingdom of God!! A way of life trembling in despair and darkness befits the humans! I...... will lapse here...... but, as long as humans live, without fail, I will be revived!! Michael: Satan! That can not be!! Satan: There is no glory in heaven!! I live by the sword! And I shall die by the sword!! Michael: Satan...... Everyone in the TeikokuKagekidan...... You have done very well. But...... The battle is not ended by this. Your true battle...... is from now...... Oogami: ......Yes...... Michael: Now then, everyone. We must now part. Oogami: ......No way...... Michael: Hey! What's with that face!? You're a boy, aren't you...... Be tough! Oogami: ......Yes! Michael: Good...... Well...... See you again............ Oogami-kun...... Michael: Sayonara...... being able to meet you has made me very happy. Sakura: Um, are you okay, Oogami-san? Oogami: I'm fine. Everyone's with me. Everyone important...... Sakura: Oogami-san...... Yoneda: Yo! All: Chief Yoneda!! Yoneda: I won't be beaten so easily yet! Now, as I promised, a party - a huge party!! Sakura: But first - Oogami-san, Who's this important person you mentioned? Oogami: Eh? Sakura: Who do you choose!? (Chorus of "It's me, right?" as Oogami attempts to tell them to hold on......) Thus the curtain fell upon our battle. Afterwards, no further incidents occurred. The TeikokuKagekidan had a grand opening and a closing...... On the other hand, the Hana-Division's public performances day after day are packed with applause. The girls are busy with the stage...... And Manager Yoneda is back to his usual ways. Each is sent the days of the pressures of work. Teito has taken back its peaceful days. The flow of nights and days is swift. Over the course of this one year, we have lost a great many things, but...... We have taken a greater number of things into our hands. And once again, spring has arrived in Teito. There is nothing but tranquility under heaven. Under these circumstances, we eventually received a break in performance. Sakura's epilogue Oogami: For me? Sakura's letter: The battle has ended, Teito has been saved, and peace has returned. Now, various memories are filling my heart. For me, being in the TeikokuKagekidan has been very sweet. I understand that clearly. Therefore, I am leaving on a journey to train myself. And I will become stronger and return without fail. Commander Oogami, please forgive my selfishness. - Shinguuji Sakura Sakura: O - Oogami-san! I'm sorry...... Sumire's epilogue Oogami: The bell's tolled twelve. Sumire: The magic cast upon me won't melt because of something like that. Maria's epilogue There is no dialogue to translate in Maria's epilogue. Kohran's epilogue Sign: For Kohran's Personal Use - Tokyo Peking Oogami: Is this really all right!? Hey! Kohran: Leave it to me, I said! Okay, let's go! - It blew up. Iris's epilogue: Iris: Hey, oniichan. My father and mom seem to like you. Oogami: Really? Iris: Iris is absolutely lovely, so don't go floating around. Oogami: Got it. Kanna's epilogue Kanna: Watch your feet! Oogami: Yeah!

What I meant to add but will probably never get around to doing so (yes, that does sound like a paradox...) This section contains details regarding those elements of the game not previously mentioned in either faq that I have found that I will probably never get around to adding properly. Thus, this will probably remain a badly disordered section full of random bits thrown together in a most inconvenient way. "Again, I would like to apologize for the general unsightliness of this faq; I only hope that is in some way useful. Unfortunately, I don't really have the incentive to clean up this faq and make it look nicer (especially since I'm busy with Sakura Taisen 2 - two more endings to go!). Furthermore, it doesn't seem likely that I will actually produce a faq for Sakura Taisen 2 (which, I might add, is excellent); at least, not of this magnitude, and certainly not a line-by-line (as it were) translation, unless enough people let me know that they want one. It simply isn't feasible, as far as I can see. I don't have that much incentive since 1) I know enough Japanese to manage my way through the game adequately such that doing a line-by-line translation for my own sake would be unnecessary, and, more importantly, 2) for whatever reason, it doesn't appear that enough people are taking the time to read the faqs I've already produced; thus it would be a waste of my time to undertake such a task when no one is going to bother to read it. This is not, of course, intended to offend anyone or imply that Sakura Taisen 2 is not worth playing - I think anyone with a Saturn owes it to her or himself to play it, as well as the first game, as they are both worthy of praise that I am incapable of adequately expressing - or to suggest that producing a faq for the game is a waste of time. In truth, I would be more than happy to provide any help I can to any willing to devote themselves to such a mammoth undertaking, and I commend the idea that anyone is attempting to broaden the game's exposure to the non-Japanese-speaking world, especially since - and I know it is redundant to state this, but - the possibility that either game will be released in the United States (although, to be honest, I think they would lose quite a bit in the translation) is, as far as I can see (although I may be mistaken), zero." ......Or so I had originally said, but something inside me said "Damn it, you selfish bastard, you owe it to the thousands of people who bought Sakura Taisen 2 and don't understand Japanese." I have received enough e-mail from people and can see Sakura Taisen's influence on people who have little or no idea what is being said throughout the game to take it upon myself to translate this to the best of my ability. You better appreciate it. ^_^ But enough bullshit. On with the important stuff: - Every episode you can visit Yuri and Kasumi, look at Yuri's natural "charm" (her term for it, not mine), and hear all the latest gossip and learn many of the various things happening in the world during the Taishou era. As this has absolutely no effect on the outcome of the game, those of you without substantial knowledge of Japanese will find this a complete waste of time. Well, there is Yuri's natural charm...... - You can also visit Tsubaki-chan and buy a bromide each month. Collect them all, and you'll be able to receive a special bromide - one of seven - after New Year's. - Sadly, there is no ending for Tsubaki-chan (sniff). - After finishing the game, you will be awarded with the third item in the main menu (something that translates more or less to "a long day in the Imperial Theatre") which is basically a collection of various fun stuff such as mini-games previously played and music and movie tests. You may only travel on the second floor, which is divided up as follows: - Library - Chief Yoneda will let you choose a background for the "long day." - Any girl's bedroom - that girl's mini-game (if you have already played it) - Oogami's bedroom - end the "long day" or play the shooting game from the Hatsumoude. - Theatre - movie test - Hall - music test - Terrace - see previously purchased bromides - Ayame's room - Ayame's quiz game Library Chief Yoneda asks you to choose one of three backgrounds for the duration of the "long day." Any girl's bedroom Entering any girl's bedroom will allow you to play her mini-game, assuming you have already played it. I forgot to mention Iris's mini-game (it's pretty much self-explanatory) - you can find this one right after you agree to go with her on a date back in whatever episode it was. What's more, if you beat the highest score for each mini-game, you'll get an excellent hi-res bonus reward pic. Oogami's bedroom Upon entering your bedroom you will be greeted by whatever girl you last finished the game with. She will ask if you intend to stay up (first option) take a short nap (second) or sleep and end the "long day" (last). If you choose the second option you will be able to play the shooting game from the Hatsumoude. If you beat the top score, you'll be rewarded with a hi-res bonus pic. Theatre Kasumi will invite you to close your eyes and remember, at which point you will be greeted with a list of movies on the current disc to watch. Although you can only view those epilogues that you've already seen, you will be able to see the short video of Oogami and Sakura boarding the train for the Hatsumoude regardless of whether you've seen it previously or not. Hall Yuri will inform you she's found an interesting record on which all the BGM from the game happens to be which you may listen to at your leisure. Terrace Tsubaki-chan will show you any of the bromides you've previously purchased. Note that you must save your game after purchasing new bromides for them to appear here. Ayame's room Ayame will present you with a multiple-choice quiz game. You simply have to answer ten consecutive questions without a miss. You'll have no problem with the questions if you have played through the entire game... and you know Japanese. After you answer the first ten you can then elect to go up a level. If you successfully answer ten consecutive questions in the higher level correctly, Ayame will lead you to the salon, where you'll be awarded with...... KOI KOI TAISEN!!!! Challenge the entire Hana-Division to a game of Hanafuda! Defeat everybody and you'll be awarded with another hi-res bonus screen! Whee!!! - Oh yes, and Sumire is not the only one you can catch in the shower during the course of the game. Have fun! - eof -
