Orient 49 “The oni who nest on Awaji”
Page 25 The great war for the unity under heaven is about to start. The one who carries Hi no Moto’s future over his shoulders is, from the Uesugi bushidan, Uesugi Tatsuomi.
Page 26 & 27
Man: Oh, great Takami Musubi no kami!! Man: We present ourselves to you in high spirits, may we win this difficult war by the blood ties that bind us…
Naotora: He’s making a vow of victory in front of the bodies of his ancestors… Naotora: being proud of our family lineage is normal within bushi households, but… Uesugi is the only one who takes it this far…
Naoe: My lord. There are three outsiders to the Uesugi bushidan, they’ve infiltrated themselves within the corps… Uesugi: Kill them.
Page 28 Naotora’s thoughts: As unmerciful to outsiders as always… Naotora: Ah, those people are my subordinates! Uesugi: … And what about that? Natoroa: Moreover, they are the cousins of a distant relative of my older brother. Naotora’s thoughts: Will he be as harsh as ever? Uesugi: if those subordinates are related by blood to you, i’ll leave them be… Naotora’s thoughts: I’m so glad consanguinity is so important to him… Naotora: Then?, Why did you send this to me? I’m not your subordinate, Tatsuomi…
Page 29 Uesugi: Of course you are not… Uesugi: However, I wonder if you could help me?
Naotora: “Must defeat the Awaji kishin”? Sounds challenging…
Page 30 Girl: I see… Uesugi’s seal is on that picture scroll? And thereupon, to investigate about Kojirou’s dad lineage, you want to meet lord Uesugi…
Page 31 Tsugumi: Musashi, who are these people? Musashi: Oh… They are from the Takeda bushidan, they saved our town some time ago…
Box: Sanada Aoshi. Takeda Bushidan, First squad, second blue sword.
Box: Yamamoto Shunrai Takeda Bushidan Green sword, special corps, vice commander.
Aoshi: We were removed from the captain’s escort, to babysit some brats of all things…! Shunrai: You worry way too much, Aoshi… Aoshi: Why? Why do i have to get along with this used-to-be miner, redhead brat? Whyyyarhg? Tsugumi’s thoughts: if they don’t thake him seriously, Musashi will snap… Musashi in Tsugumi’s thoughts: I’m not a brat, my name is Musashi!!
Page 32
Musashi: Thanks for covering for us before bro!
Tsugumi’s manuscript: I had never seen that look on him before!
Tsugumi: Huh? He’s being unusually humble… Tsugumi’s manuscript: Why?
Musashi: Because the Takeda Bushidan seems to be our intermediary in order to start contact with lord Uesugi… Manuscript: We gotta get along with them.. Manuscript: Big connections. Manuscript: Uesugi Tsugumi: He’s making himself closet o them and making them like him… Manuscript: To help Kojirou… Kojirou: Thank you, Musashi. Shunrai: AHAHA, Even if you use that obvious flattery, we won’t let you meet lord Tatsuomi! Musashi: W-WHY!?
Page 33 Shunrai: Because it’s dangerous! Bushidan are very severe towards outsiders! Actually, a while ago, just when people noticed you were outsiders to the Uesugi Alliance, everyone froze, remember? Musashi: Yeah... but maybe hey can tell me a couple of things… Manuscript: Like if they had anyone named Kanemaki Jisai… Musashi: Does the Uesugi family gains anything from that? Shunrai: Bushi don’t do anything that won’t benefit their “house”!
Kojirou: House?
Page 34 Shunrai: That’s right! The leader’s priority are those who have blood connections with them. Manuscript: Family
Shunrai: Now we give the name “bushi” to those people who can use a Kitetsu sword, but originally, on the Heian era, the word “buke” was about warriors from a household lineage.
Shunrai: Long ago, those houses battled each other… That’s why “ We believe in blood ties above anything” … is an idea that every bushidan seems to have in common.
Page 35 Musashi, Kojirou: Oh…
Musashi: Bushi battled each other when the Oni didn’t exist?... Shunrai Manuscript: Eat Kojirou: Now that you mention it, the picture scroll does mention something about bushidan competing with each other… Manuscript: That’s absurd… Musashi: Yeah.. Musashi: To believe in blood ties above anything… Musashi: I don’t understand very well…
Page 36 Tsugumi: I think i get it a little… My lord always told me things like not to stain the name of the family, and that i should cherish the honor of being part of them… Kojirou: I… … Jisai: Kojirou, you are the descendant of a proud household. Jisai: Don’t trow away your pride as a bushi. Kojirou: I’ll find out from now on… Musashi: Kojirou…
Page 37 Musashi: We’ll find a way to know about the old man somehow… Kojirou: Musashi… Musashi: With all those people out there on the harbor, it shouldn’t be so hard to infiltrate… Aoshi: Stop that! Those bushi are gathered to exterminate the Kishin of Awaji island… You will die if you infiltrate. Kojirou: Die? Musashi’s manuscript: It’s alright! Musashi: we’ve seen Kishin a couple of times! Aoshi: You kids don’t get it. Aoshi: Oh, great, let me take a look at this picture scroll…
Page 38 Aoshi: this looks like an Oni family tree. The size of their circle is proportional to their strenght. The huge one at the center is the strongest, the “Black Kishin”! Kojirou: Woah! Musashi: Which one is Engokutengu? Aoshi: This one. Box: This. Musashi: What the… It’s so small. Musashi: Then, this Kishin of Awaji island is…?
Page 39 Aoshi: This one. Box: This. Box with arrow: Engokutengu. Kojirou, Musashi: What!? It’s so big… Completely in another level! Musashi: So, just by this you can tell it’s strong?
Box: Awaji island. Man: There’s no trace of the original shape of the island… Man: Yeah… This is terrible. Let’s report this to the lord!
Page 40, page 41
Page 42 Box: Emerald Kishin. Housenryuuya Matanoorochi. ( battle dragon of eight heads) Man: Oh! Man: Oh… Great god of ours we worship so dearly…! Man: I’m able to meet a high kishin like so close … As one of the Obsidian brotherhood, i swear i’ll be useful to you! Man: Please look how i break the Uesugi bushi from the inside… As i’m invading them.
