Original subtitles

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

And the Bell Will Ring for... Who?!

Ha! A choir contest?

Yes!

I've realized that the best way to strengthen our bonds

is to join our hearts and voices as one in choral harmony.

Ah, you wish us to sing!

I do have some confidence in my ability to perform karaoke.

It's not karaoke. It's a choir.

Anyway, vocal abilities aside, when you think about our school...

none of us is exactly the choral type.

Including you, Maeda Keiji.

My point exactly.

This is why we need to strengthen the bonds between us through choral singing.

So what are we going to sing?

If we don't have a song, then we might as well go home.

The school song.

What?

Surely that will be the best song to express the love and pride we have for our school.

Indeed!

Anyone can sing the school song, it is verily the most appropriate choice!

Uh, Master. Do you even know the school song?

Well, I...

Come to think of it, we haven't sung it once since our first day of school.

Does our school even have a song?

Who knows?

Of course we have a song.

Dr. Akechi!

How long have you been here?

Since, "A choir contest?"

So the whole time?

We do have a school song. However...

it was abolished long ago, consigned to oblivion for all eternity.

Oblivion?

For what reason would...?

Because it is a cursed song.

When the school song is sung, the most terrible things come to pass.

What manner of terrible things?

Who can say?

He just laughs. You're not gonna tell us?

Hey! Dr. Akechi!

He's gone.

A cursed song... I'd love to hear it.

Hello? He just said nobody is supposed to ever hear it!

If there's no school song, I guess we can't sing.

If there's no song, we'll just write one.

We will create our own school song.

It's a wonderful opportunity!

Write a song? You say it like it's so easy.

Don't be too serious about it.

For example, how about this?

Basara has wood forests, water clear and pure!

In the sky, the clouds create a hollyhock symbol!

Stop, stop, stop! In the sky, the clouds create a hollyhock symbol!

Stop, stop, stop!

Oh, Mitsunari.

Would you care to sing along?

Are you mad?!

I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, you shameless bastard!

You're secretly plotting to sway the election with your pro-Tokugawa song!

How low are you willing to sink?!

Yeah! We can see right through you!

Then how would you sing about our school?

How would I...

This is your chance, Lord Mitsunari!

It's time to really let him have it!

Hmph. Very well.

I shall educate you...

as to what a school song should truly sound like!

Yo! I've had it up to here with your stupid friendship bonds!

You think you're all that, but we know your evil cons!

Contradictions wait in this cycle of hate!

This I will annihilate, you I will decapitate!

I-e-ya-su!

Stop!

Damn. That's the most annoying thing I've ever heard.

You fiend!

You would find fault with the rap of my soul?!

That isn't rap, it's crap.

What?!

If you're such an expert, then why don't you let us hear your school song?

Of course.

Let's party!

Party!

Jet X!

X!

Come on!

Magnum step! War dancing!

So it's Dragon Wave!

Dragon! Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!

Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!

Dragon!

Basara Academy never goes out of date!

Thanks!

I-I refuse to ever accept a school song like that one!

Lord Mitsunari.

I liked it. It had nice wild vibe going.

You know... I think the choir contest idea has completely wandered off.

If that is how Lord Masamune wishes to play it,

then I, too, must put forth an equally worthy school song that he cannot best!

Like the unshakable mountains,

the mountains do not move, but when they do,

the flames of Basara burn in my breast.

Oh, Your Lordship!

You are so...

Why a mere one chime?!

It really wasn't working.

Hey, ya dogs.

I can't listen to this anymore.

Captain!

It sounds like this is a job for me and my crew!

Yo-ho! Here we come, a pirate crew! Charting a course!

Across the ocean, rowing hard to find our Basara!

Alright, ya dogs! Where can I find the most sexy, awesome academy in the world?

Basara!

The most badass in the world?

Basara!

Then who would be this badass school's biggest boss?!

Motochika!

Yeah!

I always did want to try ringin' one of these!

You didn't have to only give me two bells!

But we want you to hear our song!

Itsuki!

Tsuruhime!

Please enjoy a Basara salad!

Thank you!

This has been Basara Girls Team B!

Team A got in some trouble and done "moved on" in their careers!

I hope we'll see you all at the meet and greet later!

To get a ticket, first y'all just have to eat a deluxe helping of the cafeteria lunch set every day.

And bring lots of dessert refreshments to the Divination Group, or you won't qualify!

We'll be waiting!

Then no one can get a ticket!

Ya think so?

The song was nice, though. It's too bad.

What manner of song would you sing, Sasuke?

Huh?

Oh, no, I can't. My agent won't allow it.

What is this agent you speak of?

We haven't heard your song yet.

No, uh, I...

Yes. The sound of this flute is my current self.

Even if I never find myself in the spotlight, I will never forgive what you've done.

Headmaster, I can at least take you down with me...

Well done, Katsuie!

Never mind the song; you performed in front of all of us.

I think it was a brilliant effort.

"Never mind the song", he says.

Well, I think we've heard all of our options.

Now which should we choose?

What? We're choosing one of those songs?

The answer is clear.

There couldn't possibly be a better choice than my rap number.

Give me a break! How can there be any song better than the One-Eyed Dragon's?

I shan't have any of you forget about my submission!

Now, Masters. You all know just who we should go to for this kind of thing.

You came to me?

Yes. As the leader of the concert band,

we thought you could give us a fair, unbiased opinion.

Very well.

I reject them all.

Reject?

Prithee, what do you mean?

The noise you have created isn't worth a single hearing.

The hell you say?

See, what'd I tell you? It's no use talking to this guy!

If it's a school song you want, I have one.

I thought this might happen, and so I prepared this.

He thought it might...

My greatest masterpiece, the ultimate melody.

There is no other piece that could ever serve as an anthem to our school.

Ugh, you chose your own song.

And this isn't actually a song.

I hear it.

I hear the melodic voice...

What do you mean "ultimate melody"!

Give me a break!

Wh-what are you doing!

My sacred music!

Wh-what pray tell is this song?!

S-somebody stop it! Hurry!

What in the world just happened?

The 50 year history of our alma mater

There it is again! The 50 year history of our alma mater

Th-that voice! The 50 year history of our alma mater

Th-that voice! When compared with all the world

Headmaster Nobunaga! When compared with all the world

Yes, so it would seem. When compared with all the world

Is reduced to nothing more than a passing dream

Dr. Akechi?! Is reduced to nothing more than a passing dream

Again, how long have you been here? Is reduced to nothing more than a passing dream

He must have been reminded of our old school song. Is reduced to nothing more than a passing dream

He must have been reminded of our old school song. Once given the blessing of life

Once given the blessing of life

Th-then you mean... Once given the blessing of life

Th-then you mean... Should anything remain unobliterated?

Yes. This... Should anything remain unobliterated?

is the cursed school song! Should anything remain unobliterated?

Basara.

Then don't we have to stop him? Basara.

Or terrible things will happen! Basara.

Basara.

When "Basara" becomes "Bye, so long," Basara.

When "Basara" becomes "Bye, so long,"

When "Basara" becomes "Bye, so long," Basara...

everything in this school will perish! Basara...

You gotta be kidding me! Basara...

Hurry up! Basara...

Basara...

He's not here! Basara...

Basara...

Upstairs! Basara...

Basara...

Basara...

There he stands!

Basara...

Bye, so long.

What the hell just happened?

Everything appears unchanged.

To think you would seriously believe such a preposterous, obviously fabricated tale.

What gullible little songbirds you all are.

That hurts!

I love it!

Stop!

Don't stop!

Now it's my turn to sing a swan song!

It is finished.

Now, who shall I task with opening...

this irresistible yet forbidden door?

I still don't see any reason to decide who gets the field with an eating contest.

One minute to go.

You'll catch it one day, usin' vittles for a thing like that.

See? Didn't I tell you?

Itsuki, bring us some water!

Fer cryin' out loud!

30 seconds.

There's... no change?

How strange.

That is not how this was supposed to go.

So in a nutshell, the theory states that time is relative.

It is theoretically possible to travel into the future, but to go back to the past is...

Where am I?

Lord Masamune!

Your vestments!

Wh-what the hell?

And look at you, Sanada!

What!

Oh, shit!

Prepare to die!

Kojuro?!

Wh-what did you just-!

We'll handle things here!

You must get to safety, Boss Masamune!

W-wait, Kojuro!

What about him?!

Big Boss!

Hey!

What the hell is going on?!

I beg of you, please calm yourselves!

Sasuke!

Master, get out of here!

If Oda's army surrounds you, it's all over!

But I haven't the slightest idea what is-

Just go already!

Okay.

Now I'll handle all the rest of you personally!

What in Heaven's name is the meaning of all of this?

'Tis too elaborate for a hidden camera trick...

W-wait, I pray thee, Lady Itsuki!

And she looks that much like me?

'Tis more than that! You even share a name.

By the bye, that battle whence I came...

What, pray tell, was going on?

Oh, those were Oda's army men.

Oda's army?

They're a heap of trouble.

They done took everything from us.

The rice paddies, the vegetable fields...

everything I care about.

It's all that Devil King's fault!

Devil King?

Yes, sir.

They set fire to all the neighboring villages,

and it wasn't just the fugitive monks; they massacred children and the elderly, too.

You were right, Boss Masamune.

If a devil like him were to take control of the whole nation,

the world will be plunged into darkness.

It's so crazy.

Sounds like the Nobunaga I know is nothing compared to this bastard.

Rally the troops, Kojuro.

We're going after Oda!

Those are the words I've been longing to hear!

That's a right fancy trick you got there!

I ain't laughed this hard in ages.

I finally found you, Master.

Sasuke!

The scouts tell me that the anti-Oda network is almost complete.

What do you say, Master? If you want to attack, now's our chance.

Lady Itsuki.

I thank you for your help.

I will see to it that you and your family will be able to smile once more.

Fare thee well.

Wait, please!

Take this with you.

As a good luck charm.

Promise you'll come back alive.

I don't wanna lose no more of the things I love!

Your feelings, Lady Itsuki, I shall engrave indelibly in my heart.

Lord Masamune!

Sanada Yukimura!

Do you seek to vanquish Headmaster Nobunaga; or rather, the Devil King as well?

You, too, eh? What a coincidence!

Sarutobi! Do you know the Devil King's whereabouts?

Our enemy is at Honnoji!

You won't be finding him there.

Stop!

Dr. Akechi?

What is the Devil King's confidant doing here?!

Sir Nobunaga will be found at Azuchi Castle.

There's a castle in Azuchi?!

So he's already finished it.

He's bluffing!

Why would you give us that information?

My desire is to see Sir Nobunaga truly elevated!

Ah, merely picturing it is enough to...

Boss Masamune, this is a trap.

When we get to Azuchi, Oda and Akechi will have in their-

No problemo.

I don't give a damn about the small fry.

There's only one man who can satisfy my six claws.

Very well.

Humble Kojuro will accompany you and face his fate as the Dragon's Right Eye.

Are you ready, guys?

Yeah!

Let's party!

Yeah!

Burn, my soul!

Shit!

So it was indeed a trap!

Humble Kojuro has your back!

Thanks, Kojuro!

Whoa, look out!

Let Sarutobi Sasuke, the captain of the Sanada Ninja Corps, handle the small fry!

I'm counting on you, my friend!

Let's go, Sanada Yukimura!

Yes, Lord Masamune!

It has begun.

I do hope you will enjoy yourselves to the fullest, all three of you.

Where are you, Oda Nobunaga!

Foolish mortals.

I am the Devil King, descended from the Sixth Heaven.

I will use your skulls as my winecups,

and lay the cornerstone of a new world, united under my banner.

Headmaster... Oda?

No. He's just an old man with bad taste.

Fools! You will regret this choice in death!

Oops!

Too bad. We've kinda gotten used to your surprise attacks.

Now you will allow me to fulfil the promise I made Lady Itsuki!

From Oshu Middle School, Big Boss of the baseball team, Date Masamune!

Ready or not, here I come!

Sanada Genjiro Yukimura makes his stand now!

Worthless garbage.

You are nothing more than part of the evening's amusement.

Perish.

Blazing Kick!

Rest in peace!

Magnum Invisible!

Hilarious.

Boss Masamune!

Master!

Sanada!

Lord Masamune!

I never expected my class to get anyone so excited.

Nevertheless, strange things do indeed happen.

Yeah. I can't believe we both had the same dream.

A dream, you say...

Welcome to Sengoku Basara
