SB3 Bloody Angel Volume 1 Chapter 2 Translation
Sorry this took longer than expected to upload. I have been assuming the façade of a working citizen.
Second chapter: In which everyone has the same hairstyle as their horse.
Sengoku BASARA 3 Bloody Angel is written and drawn by Ryu Itō with the supervision and cooperation of CAPCOM.
-SECOND DESTRUCTION-MITSUNARI: Heheheh…
Hahaha…
This…
Is what I learned from Hideyoshi-sama.
"Despair".
AYUMU: Mitsunari-sama!
H…uh?
What I saw when I woke up was…
No corpses, just my normal, everyday room.
-SECOND DESTRUCTION-
-HYMN OF DESPAIR-
AYUMU: A dream? No, that’s not it.
Back then, I’m sure I…
IEYASU: You’re finally awake.
Seemed like you were having a terrible nightmare.
AYUMU: Ieyasu-sama…
How did I get here?
IEYASU: You don’t remember? That's understandable.
When it was over, you fainted. You’ve been shut in here ever since.
AYUMU: Then…the Hōjō ninja are…
That's right.
The side of Mitsunari-sama I saw wasn’t an illusion, it was real.
The dead bodies outside have already been disposed of.
The bloodstains left on the ground are proof of that.
KAKUNOSHIN: *screams*
AYUMU: *eek*
I…Ieyasu-sama! It can’t be one of the Hōjō…!
IEYASU: It’s Ukyō-dono.
AYUMU: Huh…?
KAKUNOSHIN: *screams*
PHYSICIAN: Hold Ukyō-sama down!
We must stop the bleeding…!
AYUMU: Is everything okay?!
PHYSICIAN: Yamadera-sensei!
PHYSICIAN: We’ve been awaiting your arrival…! There’s nothing we can do.
He’s been struggling and crying out in pain for over an hour now!
AYUMU: Understood…I’ll take care of…!
KAKUNOSHIN: …Kill me..!
Please kill me…!
MITSUNARI: You can’t help me.
I don’t need anyone’s help.
KAKUNOSHIN: To taste such despair…
MITSUNARI: With this sword I shall teach the meaning of despair.
KAKUNOSHIN: I’d rather be dead!
AYUMU: The words Mitsunari-sama had spoken crossed my mind…
IEYASU: Hideyoshi-dono said…
‘If the weak do not foster the strong, this country will never change.’
I heard his words and believed that, if I followed Hideyoshi-dono, we might make a world where the weak are also saved.
AYUMU: Ieyasu-sama…?
IEYASU: But back then, Mitsunari said…
That he “learned despair” from Hideyoshi-dono.
IEYASU: Why, Mitsunari?...Why...?
You’re living in despair…!
SOLDIER: Sorry to interrupt! Ieyasu-sama…I have something to report.
IEYASU: …What is it?
SOLDIER: I have intelligence stating that, following last night’s incident, the Hōjō lost the will to fight and have surrendered.
IEYASU: What?!
Is this true?!
SOLDIER: Yes…
IEYASU: That means…!
Toyotomi have conquered the land?!
SOLDIER: That’s…
Mitsunari-sama has…
IEYASU: What…did you say…?
IEYASU: Mitsunari has gone alone to Odawara, where the Hōjō are?!
SOLDIER: I bring orders from Hideyoshi-sama that you are to provide backup for Mitsunari-sama.
MITSUNARI: With this sword I shall teach the meaning of despair.
AYUMU: Ieyasu-sama…
IEYASU: Did he…tell me to stop Mitsunari...?
MITSUNARI: Can you demonstrate the power of bonds?
IEYASU: …Back then, there was nothing I could do…
Mitsunari, who lives in despair…!
Am I able to stop him…?!
AYUMU: I…
I don’t understand either, Ieyasu-sama.
Bonds or despair…
I want to know which is right…
SOLDIER: Hōjō-sama! Hōjō-sama!
Somebody is headed this way!
UJIMASA: Th…that’s…
The man known as Toyotomi’s left arm, Ishida Mitsunari!
HŌJŌ UJIMASA
SURRENDERED
HŌJŌ ARMY GENERAL
UJIMASA: Our letter of surrender was delivered... so why has this man come to Odawara alone…?!
SOLDIER: *eek*
MITSUNARI: Where is Hōjō?
Bring him to me.
AYUMU: Mitsunari-sama…
Why do you think he would go to the Hōjō’s base, even though they already surrendered?
PHYSICIANS: That…is a matter for Mitsunari-sama.
If he intends to take Hōjō’s head as a warning, then...
AYUMU: You could say that…
But here's what I think.
AYUMU: Perhaps he went...
To confirm Hōjō’s intentions?
UJIMASA: I…I am the general, Hōjō Ujimasa.
I’ve heard rumours of you, Ishida. Let me first congratulate the Toyotomi on their success.
From now on I’ll be assisting you, so please, let’s get along.
UJIMASA: That’s it! Since our long-awaited comrade has arrived, let’s have a toast…
MITSUNARI: I’ve no interest in collusion or the like.
UJIMASA: Wha!
MITSUNARI: Prove to me, here and now, that you will serve Hideyoshi-sama.
AYUMU: In these turbulent times, treachery is common…
Moreover, one cannot know for sure who is their enemy and who they can trust.
AYUMU: Forming a bond with the opponent you took up arms against…is such a thing really possible?
I don’t understand either…!
Ieyasu-sama, what have you been fighting for until now?
As long as you wield that big spear…
And continue to kill people…
AYUMU: Are those bonds truly real?!
CROW: Will you end it here…?
PHYSICIANS: Ieyasu-sama?!
IEYASU: You’re right, Ayumu.
Until now I wasn’t able to prove anything… in that case…!
With my fists alone, I’ll show proof of the power of bonds!
IEYASU: TADAKAAAATSU!
HONDA TADAKATSU
TOKUGAWA ARMY
KNOWN AS THE STRONGEST WARRIOR OF THE SENGOKU ERAIEYASU: Let’s go Tadakatsu!
AYUMU: …Ieyasu-sama…
AYUMU: Please take me with you…
To where Mitsunari-sama is…!
IEYASU: Get on, Ayumu!
AYUMU: I knew there was nothing I could do…
But…I wanted to find out…
Which is right, bonds or despair...
UJIMASA: …What did you just say, Ishida?
MITSUNARI: I said I want proof of your intentions.
UJIMASA: B…but I already sent that to Hideyoshi-dono.
I handed over the country to Toyotomi.
MITSUNARI: Is a scrap of paper worth relying on?
UJIMASA: Then how do I get you to rely on me?!
Ah, what about money?! If it’s money, we have enough to spare…
MITSUNARI: I don’t need money.
…That's it.
I’ll take your fingers.
All ten of them.
UJIMASA: Huh?
UJIMASA: Fi…fingers…
My fingers?
MITSUNARI: Those who might turn traitor cannot be allowed to hold a sword.
UJIMASA: Wa…wait a minute! I have no reason to betray you!
UJIMASA: *screams* Somebody save me…!
UJIMASA: Just kidding.
Having gone to great trouble to prepare this tour de force...
I guess there’s no alternative but to reveal it!
UJIMASA: Oops, forgot the introduction.
'Fūma Kotarō.' He will complete any kind of task without fail.
FŪMA KOTARŌ
IN HŌJŌ UJIMASA’S EMPLOY
A LEGENDARY NINJA UJIMASA: A man known as the 'legendary ninja.'
UJIMASA: I sent that letter of surrender to lure my opponent into a false sense of security.
I had planned to use my 'trump card', Fūma, to crush the Toyotomi.
I never dreamed I would have to reveal him so soon…
Sorry, but I can’t afford to send you home.
UJIMASA: Farewell...
Ishida Mitsunari.
IEYASU: HŌJŌ-DONO!
UJIMASA: Oh?
IEYASU: Even though we received your statement of surrender…
What on Earth is this…?
UJIMASA: Y…you are…
UJIMASA: Tokugawa Ieyasu…!
MITSUNARI: You…
MITSUNARI: What are you playing at, without any weapons?
UJIMASA: Grr…these damn youngsters…!
They’re making light of the Hōjō…!
UJIMASA: Fūma…everyone! Have at them!
AYUMU: Mitsunari-sama…please watch!
Ieyasu-sama’s resolve…!
SOLDIER: *agh*
UJIMASA: It…
It cannot be… Fūma was…
IEYASU: Don’t worry, they’re not dead.
UJIMASA: *eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek*
I surrender! This time I mean it!
I’ll hand the country over to Toyotomi, so forgive me…I beg you!
IEYASU: Yeah…of course we forgive you.
UJIMASA: Re…
Really?!
IEYASU: However, you must all throw away your weapons.
IEYASU: This is an age where weapons are no longer needed.
SOLDIERS: …Ah…
HIDEYOSHI: Well done, Ieyasu.
IEYASU: Hideyoshi-dono…
UJIMASA: Hi…Hideyoshi-dono…
I am…
IEYASU: Hōjō-dono has stated his surrender, and offers you dominion over the country.
IEYASU: With this, victory is-
HIDEYOSHI: Kill him.
IEYASU: …huh?
HIDEYOSHI: An old soldier needs no mercy.
Kill him.
IEYASU: The land is yours, Hideyoshi-dono!
We have no reason to fight…
HIDEYOSHI: You still don’t understand, Ieyasu?
Only the strong survive.
The weak shall die and leave no trace.
That is how this Land of the Rising Sun should be.
HIDEYOSHI: To be weak is nothing more than sinful.
So kill him.
IEYASU: You…you can’t be…
MITSUNARI: I learned despair from Hideyoshi-sama.
MITSUNARI: Ieyasu, I'll say it once more.
This is despair.
IEYASU: Mitsu…nari…
SOLDIERS: *eek*
HIDEYOSHI: Heheheh…
Hahahahahaha…
HIDEYOSHI: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Everyone! Come with me!
HIDEYOSHI: From this day forward, the age of Toyotomi begins!
We shall amass even greater military power…
And show that power to the world!
The world will be next…!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
AYUMU: The power of despair had won.
The blood that dripped from Ieyasu-sama’s clenched fist…
Was almost like tears.
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed it.
