BASARA PRIVATE ACADEMY

Here it comes, here it comes!

This is what it's like to be on the verge of massive upheaval!

836th Student Elections Ishida Mitsunari Tokugawa Ieyasu

Finally, we'll see the outcome of the war that has rocked our school to its very foundation.

Ballot Box

My, my, my. I'm glad to see everyone this tense.

Ballot Box

Time to count your votes!

So who's it gonna be?

The winner of this fateful conflict!

Will it be Tokugawa Ieyasu?

Or Ishida Mitsunari?

Just kidding.

To tell you the truth, I don't give a rat's behind.

Take pride in your noble, beautiful life

You who carve your names on history, change the times

Press on unfalteringly through the raging winds

A fiery soul within trembling convictions

Clashing warriors send sparks flying

Raise the curtain on a battle where there is no retreat

Like the blazing flames

Burn your life now in mutual conflict

Take pride in your noble, beautiful life

You who carve your names on history, change the times

I have made my request a thousand times.

We of the soccer team have a vital game on the horizon.

And therefore we wish to claim the privilege of using the field first!

Privilege to use the field first?

You'll get it in your dreams.

Capisce?

What?

You wanna kick a ball around, you can do it by the river.

I-insolence!

I am a forgiving man, but this is one thing I cannot excuse!

Oh? And what are you gonna do about it?

We have but to eject the baseball team by force!

Well that's not very neighborly.

Let's play it cool, Mr. Fiery Mountain Sanada Yukimura.

Damn you, Date Masamune!

Sanada Yukimura!

Now, now, that's enough! Let's all just calm down, Masters.

Do not stop me, Sasuke!

Stay out of this, Saru!

We're all sportsmen here, aren't we?

In that case, let's do this on the up-and-up!

And settle it with some sport, what do you say?

Kickball Game! Winner Gets the Field!!

And so, to see who gets the field, we'll play a game of kickball!

Honk, honk, boom, boom! Woohoo!

Kickball, you say?

Yup. It's what you get when you add baseball to soccer and divide by two.

You pitch, and you kick. See? Simple and clear!

Don't give me that crap! Why did we have to add them and divide by two?

Interesting. Let's try it, Boss Masamune.

Kojuro.

And in exchange, if we win...

you will immediately hand the field over to us!

You speak as though you are already victorious!

Very well, then. I humbly accept your challenge!

Okay. If that's how we're gonna do it, then I hope you don't mind if we play our way.

Are you ready, guys?

Yeah!

Our defense is as solid as the mountains.

We will not let even one of them set foot on base!

Yeah!

Huh?

Whoa, wait a minute! Why are you kicking it?

I'll knock your first pitch out of the park!

Come on, this is kickball!

No problemo!

This is the One-Eyed Dragon's style.

I'm ready when you are.

I burn like a raging fire!

Let's party!

Seriously?

Let's go, ya dogs!

Captain!

C-Captain...

You do like to show us a good time, don't you?

Honda Tadakatsu!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Boss Masamune!

Tadakatsu, tell them you're sorry!

Lord...Tokugawa.

My apologies.

I'm the one who told Tadakatsu to distribute these fliers.

Making a brighter school with the power of our bonds! Vote for Tokugawa

Ieyasu!!

Forgive us.

With the power of our bond, you and I can change this school!

No, we will change it!

Please, I want you to cast your honest vote for me!

Right now, I'm more interested in getting this field for my baseball...

Our bonds! They tie us together!

Oh, shit! Thank you! Thank you!

Ieyasu!

I'm counting on our bonds!

You scoundrel! You dare scatter these around when I am trying to give my speech?

Oh, Mitsunari!

Your stopgap measures won't work on me forev-

Listen, Mitsunari. We can't let things go on like this!

We must change this school from the ground up!

Someone must bring us revolution!

Nonsense!

That was the path Lord Hideyoshi showed us!

If you truly wish for revolution, then why did you betray him?

You know, I'd really like to get on with this kickball game.

Sasuke.

Oh? Master Maeda.

What happened?

I thought you were taking a world hitchhiking tour.

I just got back.

I feel like something's different.

What are they fighting about over there?

Well, the thing is, our school's been split right in two.

Split in two?

Oh, right. When you go Rip Van Winkle, you don't go halfway.

Fine. I'll give you a quick recap.

As you already know, until very recently, the student body president was Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

What? He's not anymore?

Yeah, you see, in the beginning, Headmaster Oda Nobunaga had his eye on him,

so Hideyoshi didn't do anything too far out of line.

But soon Nobunaga was appointed to Honnoji Academy, and he started spending most of his time over there.

Hideyoshi took full advantage.

Figures.

If you'd believe it, he armed the students under his command,

and started mounting attacks against other schools.

Wow, he did it.

He actually went through with it.

I mean, I always knew he would eventually, but...

Student Council Naturally, the general student body was none too happy.

They rallied together and stormed the student council.

And their leader was the traitor to the Toyotomi Regime...

Tokugawa Ieyasu?

Bingo!

And that means, he came onto the scene.

Oh no! The Devil King Headmaster!

In the end, not only was Toyotomi stripped of his title,

he was suspended from school.

Lord Hideyoshi!

Thus, bereft of its student body president,

the school was plunged into a turbulent era of rival school leaders.

Is that it?

And the first two to nominate themselves for the next presidency...

were Tokugawa Ieyasu, who advocates for revolution through the power of bonds,

and Ishida Mitsunari, whose devotion to Hideyoshi has ignited the flames of hatred

against the man who drove Hideyoshi from power.

Listen to him howl.

While Ieyasu gains more support by appealing to the power of bonds,

Ishida's laying the groundwork for his clever "vote for me or else" strategy.

Look, you can already see that Ieyasu is siding with Masamune,

while Mitsunari...

Think about it, Sanada Yukimura!

Do you want to live your entire life at this school tied down

under the yoke of his bonds of falsehood and their multitude of contradictions?

I-I do not, but I...

The election holds little meaning to-

Sanada!

Vote for Mitsunari.

Or you and your posterity will be cursed for all generations.

L-Lord Otani...

In other words, depending on how you look at it,

even this fight for the playing field is a proxy war for the election.

It couldn't be more exhausting, am I right?

Whoa, what are you so excited about?

Did you listen to a word I said?

Looks like I came back at just the right time.

You really are an idiot, aren't you?

I'm blushing.

It wasn't a compliment.

I am Ishida Mitsunari! Vote for me! Bonds! Friendship! Vote for bonds!

How long do you have to keep us from our game before you're happy?

I am in agreement!

It is of utmost importance that we settle our score!

I wasn't trying to keep you from anything.

Allow us to lend our support to the One-Eyed Dragon.

What?

Then, Gyobu! You and I shall assist Sanada!

We shall?

Now let us begin the match once more!

That last hit was a foul!

Lord Masamune, I ask that you now return to the plate!

A foul?

That's crazy talk!

You got rocks for eyes?

If Honda hadn't gotten in the way, that totally would've been a home run!

No, 'twas a foul!

You hear that, Kojuro? There's no reasoning with him.

So it would seem.

Big Boss!

Oh, come on!

At this rate, we're never gonna get this game started!

Motochika Chosokabe.

Oh, no. As if it wasn't complicated enough.

Okay, who was it?

Who's making that nonstandard creature go around nearly killing people?

Do you have something to say to me, Motochika?

You came this close to seriously injuring my precious crew!

Now what are you gonna do to make it up to me?

What's wrong? Quit wasting my time and start begging my forgiveness.

That's what a real man would do.

Right, ya dogs?

Captain!

Dammit, Motochika! Quit roughin' up my baseball field!

It does not belong to you! It is our field of soccer!

And you will leave it forthwith!

Oh really. If that's how you're gonna treat me...

Wait, Motochika!

What?

I am the one at the heart of this dilemma.

None of the others are to blame.

I will not run from you.

Let us open our hearts and come together in bonds of goodwill!

Ieyasu! Not your deranged babblings again-

Calm yourself, Mitsunari. Ieyasu! Not your deranged babblings again-

Calm yourself, Mitsunari.

I find it unlikely that Chosokabe would be swayed by such honeyed words.

Is this for real?

He's not going to dodge!

Fine by me!

Ms. Magoichi!

I thought I told you, Motochika.

If you're going to ride a motorcycle, wear a helmet.

What was that for, Sayaka?

How many times do I have to tell you not to call me by that name?

You want another piece of chalk?

O-okay, okay! I get it!

You hear that, dogs? You gotta wear helmets!

Captain...

Wait.

You come mess up my field and you're just gonna leave it that way? I don't think so.

If you're saying you need more players on your team, I can lend you a hand.

Very cool.

Yes! The bond between teammates.

That's what's important: Bonds!

Trust those pure bonds, and vote for Ieyasu!

Ieyasu! Trust those pure bonds, and vote for Ieyasu!

Ieyasu!

Jumping on every opportunity!

You will refrain from laying further waste to our field!

A pack of fools.

I have no interest in any ASB president election.

I seek only the true silence that will allow me to immerse myself in my creation.

Kingo!

What do you think you are doing in my sacred sanctum of sound?!

Mr. Akechi told me that playing piano music for the hot pot makes it taste better!

I play no music for hot pots!

I'm scared! You're face is scaring me!

I understand your rage, Mori Motonari.

Otani?

Your beloved silence has been disrupted by buffoons,

you live your life in constant irritation.

What are you trying to say?

I can guarantee you the peace of mind you seek.

You?

But on one condition.

Down with Ieyasu!! Vote for Ishida Mitsunari!

Careful...

Get out!

This party is just getting started.

Here comes my full-powered magic pitch.

Who volunteers to be its first victim?

I volunteer!

No, I'll be batting this one!

Master Maeda?

If Motochika's siding with the One-Eyed Dragon, then I'll be joining your team!

Long time no see, Wanderer.

Boss Masamune is on edge after that last interruption.

You'd better brace yourself.

To celebrate our reunion, I'll knock this out of the park as my way of saying hello.

I hope you're watching, Ms. Magoichi.

Go!

Wha-she's gone?! Go!

Eyes on me, loser!

Life is short. O human race, fall in love.

Master Maeda!

Hey! Somebody get a stretcher!

You weren't braced enough.

Owww...

Damn you, Date Masamune.

I smell blood.

Yes...

The scent of a passionate and turbulent wayward youth.

Welcome to my infirmary.

Doctor... Akechi?

You have nothing to worry about.

I will make your recovery nice and painful.

Baseball Team Soccer Team

That brings us to two outs. Who shall take the plate next?

I'll knock it out of the park.

Yes! The moment we've been waiting for! It's all you, Captain!

Get us a homer! It's all you, Captain!

Is this a good idea?

No problemo.

He can be the hero, but he better get my results.

To make up for roughing up my field.

Alright, ya dogs! Who's the most badass batter alive?

You are, Captain!

Who hits the ball farther than the rest?

Captain!

And who's gonna win us this game?

Mo! To! Chi! Ka! Yeah!

I see your fiery fighting spirit, Lord Motochika, but mine is in no way inferior!

Feel the weight of my whole soul!

Tiger Shot!

One, two! One, two!

Matsu, keep pace with me!

Yes, Lord Inuchiyo!

L-Lord Inuchiyo!

Lord Inuchiyo!

Not bad, Motochika!

Gotta give you props for having the guts to jump at every single pitch!

Just you watch! The next one will ride the waves of the wind!

Did he do it?

Sorry, but that's three outs.

Dammit, Saru!

Baseball Team Soccer Team

Yes! The power of our bonds has earned us one out!

We'll use this momentum to carry us on, and on, and on!

Ieyasu!

Lord Masamune, if we continue in this vein, we shall never determine a victor!

Let us settle this in single combat between you and myself!

Single combat?

If I kick the ball, the soccer team triumphs.

But if I cannot, we shall yield the victory to the baseball team.

That's quite the sensible idea, coming from you.

Alright, I'm in.

Lord Inuchiyo!

I'm counting on you, Master!

Sanada Genjiro Yukimura makes his stand now!

Former Big Boss of Oshu Middle School's baseball team, Date Masamune!

Ready or not, here I come!

Howl, my magic pitch!

Invisible Dragon!

What?!

Strike!

It vanished?!

Seriously? It really is a magic pitch?

Magnificent!

Strike two!

Did you see that? It's the One-Eyed Dragon's secret move!

'Tis no use! I shall never kick it at this rate!

How can I possibly...

Yukimura!

Your... Lordship...

Takeda Shingen!

The soccer team adviser finally makes his appearance.

What are you doing, Yukimura?

You must use your mind's eye! See it with the eyes of your heart!

The eyes of my heart...

Yes, Your Lordship!

Yukimura!

Your Lordship!

Yukimura!

Your Lordship!

Yukimura!

Oh, Your Lordship!

Yukimura!

Your Lordship!

Alright, that's the way you should be.

That burning soul of yours...

Sets my coolness on fire!

I feel it, too! This precise moment...

Is proof that we are alive!

Sanada Yukimura!

Date Masamune!

I see it!

It's so cool.

I gotta hand it to you, Sanada Yukimura.

My rival.

You fools who dedicate not yourselves to scholastic pursuits!

You would wreak havoc here at Basara Academy knowing that I, Oda Nobunaga, am headmaster?

Divine punishment!

So it goes.

Wh-what the hell?

The soccer and baseball teams are henceforth forbidden from using this field. -Headmaster

Looks like Basara Academy is gonna get a whole lot more interesting!

It is I, Ishida Mitsunari. I'm coming in.

As expected, the keys to the next student president election...

will be Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura,

Lord Hideyoshi.

The Fateful Battle for the Playing Field!

Not a thing, not a thing will change in this world

Yourself, others

And the results are all affected by each other

Which makes the shape of this world And the results are all affected by each other
