- Tadanobu Sato
- Hey, Brother! Only 6 days until the epic war between the Genji and Heike begins!
- Tsugunobu Sato
- I know! I can hardly contain myself I'm so excited! We'll have to do our best for Lord Shanao!
- Tomomori Taira
- Ah yes, only 6 days until Shanao and I... I'm sure it will be worth the wait!
- Tadanobu Sato
- T-Tomomori Taira! What are you doing here?!
- Tomomori Taira
- What? It's only natural to get a good look at the enemy before the battle starts, right?
- Tomomori Taira
- Actually, coming over here was Noritsune's idea, but I thought it couldn't hurt to try and sneak a peek at Shanao!
- Tomomori Taira
- But alas, I suppose I'll have to wait a few more days. Give Shanao my regards.
- Tsugunobu Sato
- He's gone! Such speed...
- Tadanobu Sato
- He disappeared in an instant! But don't worry, we won't let him escape next time!
- Takatsuna Sasaki
- It was reported that Tsugunobu and his brother met Tomomori yesterday! It seems that he was interested in seeing Lord Shanao. Just what could he be planning?
- Benkei Musashibo
- Hm... Well it's only five days until we meet in battle right? We've got to make sure we're ready for them!
- Takatsuna Sasaki
- Of course! With everyone here there's no way we'll lose to those dirty Heike!
- Takatsuna Sasaki
- Come to think of it, this will be Lord Shanao's first battle. He must be nervous. Isn't that right, Lord Yoritomo?
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- That doesn't seem to be the case. Last I heard he was strutting proudly around town.
- Benkei Musashibo
- Wow! My lord would be so happy to hear you speak about him like that, Lord Yoritomo!
- Takatsuna Sasaki
- What a good brother! I'm so jealous...
- Benkei Musashibo
- Me too...
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- What's with you two?
- Tadanobu Sato
- Grgh! What's the point of all these patrols if Tomomori doesn't even bother to show up? Wait, what's that...
- Shigehira Taira
- Hey Noritsune, did you hear? Seems these Genji punks are waiting with bated breath to take us down.
- Noritsune Taira
- Tomomori said the battle will start in four days. I'm going to go all out!
- Noritsune Taira
- Just wait Shanao, I'm going to be the one to take you down! There'll be no escaping this time!
- Shigehira Taira
- Well, well, aren't you excited? To be fair, it has been a while since I've had the chance to spill some blood. I'm looking forward to it too.
- Noritsune Taira
- In that case how about a preliminary training match? A duel between you and I is sure to be exciting.
- Shigehira Taira
- Oh? Why yes, that sounds excellent. Just don't go home crying after I spank you.
- Noritsune Taira
- Hmph. You're one to talk.
- Tadanobu Sato
- Noritsune and Shigehira? Those guys are bad news. I better head back and report this to the others!
- Shungen
- Our fight with the Heike is only three days away. We'll have to make sure we're well positioned to... Takatsuna, Tsugunobu, what are you two doing?
- Takatsuna Sasaki
- Preparing for battle with the Heike! Tadanobu told us that Noritsune and Shigehira are planning to go all out!
- Tsugunobu Sato
- We're also training some of the horses at the behest of Lord Shanao.
- Tsugunobu Sato
- It seems that Lord Shanao is busy prepping himself for battle too!
- Shungen
- I-I see that's why there are so many weapons and horse reins scattered around here.
- Takatsuna Sasaki
- Haha, that's right! I have to say though, when I see how excited Lord Shanao is for battle, it makes me feel even more confident!
- Shungen
- That's right, he's made up his mind to fight with everything he's got, and I want to do everything I can to support him!
- Takatsuna Sasaki
- Wow! That means a lot coming from someone like you who has been friends with Lord Shanao since childhood!
- Tsugunobu Sato
- That's true, but we all have to do our best from now on! Next time let's do some training with Tadanobu and Benkei too!
- Takatsuna Sasaki
- Good idea!
- Shigehira Taira
- You've been in such a good mood lately, Brother. You looking forward to the day after tomorrow? I must admit I'm kind of jealous.
- Tomomori Taira
- Will you be lonely here without me?
- Shigehira Taira
- Of course, we always have a good time together. But it's alright, I'll have Noritsune to keep me company.
- Noritsune Taira
- Quit messing around. More than that, we've got to stay focused on the Genji's movements. They've steadily been making progress on their war preparations.
- Shigehira Taira
- Ugh, you're so boring Noritsune, always focused on work. Quit worrying, we're way stronger than them.
- Shigehira Taira
- I could crush them with my eyes closed. Even Shanao is no match for my brother and I!
- Tomomori Taira
- Ah yes, I sure am interested in that Shanao... Don't worry I'll let the two of you play with him as well.
- Shigehira Taira
- Sounds good to me! I wouldn't mind hunting him down and watching him squeal like a little piggy!
- Noritsune Taira
- You guys sure give me the creeps sometimes...
- Shungen
- Tomorrow's the big day Benkei!
- Benkei Musashibo
- That's right, our first battle fighting alongside Lord Shanao! We'll win for sure!
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- I admire your enthusiasm, but what have you two been up to all day?
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Your clothes are positively filthy.
- Shungen
- Actually we've all been training for tomorrow's battle, that's why our clothes look so dirty.
- Benkei Musashibo
- Lord Shanao is so strong, I wanted to show him what I can do! Though perhaps I went a bit overboard...
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Well, that's good. As long as you'll be able to fight tomorrow, it's not a problem.
- Benkei Musashibo
- Yes, sir! I plan to show you what I can do in battle! Just you watch!
- Shungen
- He's been like this all day... You're going to pass out of you keep that enthusiasm up all day Benkei!
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Finally the day has come. I hope you're all prepared.
- Benkei Musashibo
- Yes, sir!
- Shungen
- Yes, sir!
- Benkei Musashibo
- It's time to show them everything we've got! This is what we've been training for!
- Shungen
- I'm prepared for whatever comes next!
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Good. This battle is sure to be intense, but together with Lord Shanao, we'll find a way to win.
- Shungen
- Yes, sir!
- Benkei Musashibo
- That's right!
- Noritsune Taira
- Finally the battle's about to begin... The Genji are sure to be ready and waiting for us!
- Noritsune Taira
- Shanao, show me what you can do. Show me just how strong you really are!
- Tomomori Taira
- Hehe. I'm getting excited just watching you.
- Noritsune Taira
- Hmph. You're one to talk, you've been talking about this moment for the last week straight.
- Tomomori Taira
- You're right, it's so unlike me! I just hope this can live up to my unreasonably high expectations...
- Yoritomo Minamoto
- Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei...
- Everyone
- Out Now!
