WIND
The Fujinken...
is now mine to exploit.
Just you wait, Yaiba Kurogane.
THUNDER
Vile oni... So you have awakened.
YAIBA: SAMURAI LEGEND
EPISODE 3: ANOTHER MAKEN
Hey! I'm leaving for school!
Good grief!
I see he's developed quite the Kekkai.
"Kekkai"?
It marks the finite zone in which he can sense
an opponent's presence or sudden attack.
We refer to this invisible barrier as the Kekkai.
Perhaps a small test is in order?
He actually blocked it!
Not bad, right! Ouch!
Clearly a novice still.
Yeah.
'Morning!
Yaiba's here!
Looking extra adorable today, Yaiba!
- Suddenly, he's everybody's sweetheart. - Hey, Yaiba! Get a load of this!
Yeah? Let's see.
Well, whaddya think?
- What? You mean those mounds? - Huh?
I already saw those things on Sayaka, when we were in the bath.
You took a bath with Sayaka?
Yeah.
Can't hit me from there, Sayaka.
Whoa, he didn't even look.
Who's that?
He's got something sticking out of his head.
That's...
Onimaru!
Missed me, runt?
Is that really you, Onimaru?
You look kinda bigger.
Fight me, Yaiba Kurogane!
Bring it!
Yaiba!
That's... a real sword!
Fighting dirty, eh, Onimaru?
Done stalling?
Hey, is it really...
That's a genuine...
Yaiba...
Think you can stop my blade with that thing?
Damn it... I can't see him swing.
One arm will be more than adequate to dispose of you.
Forget your eyes.
Come at me, Onimaru!
The ole Shingan, eh?
You think you're so clever.
I see you...
I see you, Onimaru!
Catch all that, Onimaru?
I guess that pathetic showing is the best you pull off.
What?!
What the...
What's happening?
What's the matter?
Pick it up.
Damn it...
Poor baby.
The wind...
I have to slash through it.
Unbelievable.
Yaiba.
What are we going to do?
- Where are the teachers? - He's gonna get hurt.
Now, to end this.
Stop it! You've won, okay?
Silence.
He's a monster!
- Run! - Sayaka, get away!
Please! Just stop!
That's enough, Sayaka. Now stay back...
Time to die!
Yaiba!
Yaiba Kurogane.
You truly are sad.
I lost... completely.
I don't have a chance like this.
I'm pathetic.
I'm a weakling.
My boy's growing up.
Pops.
Yo!
So you're no stranger to the Fujinken.
Fujinken?
Its power is immense. It can stir up storms like the God of the Wind.
Supposedly, its powers had been sealed away.
SAKE
To think it has been awakened...
Dad! You mean the sword's unbeatable?
Against the Fujinken...
only the Raijinken has a chance.
Raijinken?
Once grasped,
it darkens the skies, unleashing a flurry of lightning.
If memory serves,
a mean old codger by the name of Miyamoto has it.
So where can I find this old man?
You must be joking, Yaiba.
Even if you could find the sword,
it would take years to safely wield it.
I don't care how many years it takes!
That sword will bring me victory against Onimaru!
- Where is it! - Huh? Wait...
- Come on, tell me, Pops! - Hey...
That's right...
I think it was Mount Tengu.
Mount Tengu...
Know it?
Uh... I do, but...
So I've become an oni.
Not bad.
Now, what to do with all this power?
Suppose it's time to test the waters.
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
You gave me no choice.
I've no idea where Mount Tengu is.
You can't be serious about going to Mount Tengu.
Well, I am.
Somebody, help!
Hey, come on, help me out here!
My clothes are a mess!
Want something else to wear?
You brought extra clothes?
Here ya go!
You rummaged through my clothes?
Okay, then don't wear it.
You brought my school uniform?
Well, you really like it, don't you? You wear it all the time.
Anyway, let's eat!
I'll go catch us something.
Come on, Kagetora, Shonosuke!
Does that old Miyamoto guy really live around here?
I've got to say, you really good at this.
Pops is even better.
What was that?
Kagetora, bad boy!
You ate it all yourself?
What was that?
Thank you. That was delicious.
You!
You're the one who ate my food!
So... you're no stranger to the sword.
Could he be that old man Miyamoto?
Ignoramus! I'm not old!
I'm not much older than you!
So, what business do you have here?
We came here to get the Raijinken from some dusty old man called Miyamoto.
What?
Please, we promise!
Let us have the sword and we'll get out of your way.
Why not, I suppose.
Fine, then. Follow me.
Hooray!
What? You mean this is your house?
Amazing... A real tree house...
Did you build it yourself, old man?
Well, yes.
I told you... I'm not old.
My skills are as sharp as ever.
Now, listen closely. Many a swordsmen have attempted
to get past me in their quest for the Raijinken,
but every last one of them has been reduced to dust.
Only the legendary samurai can wield that sword.
For 400 long years, I have watched over that sword,
waiting here patiently for that samurai.
- And... - So then, you're Miyamoto?
Are you strong?
Nincompoop!
You really have no idea who you're talking to!
Indeed, Miyamoto is my last name, but I am no ordinary Mr. Miyamoto.
If you aspire to the sword, then you shall know my name.
Open your ears. I go by...
Musashi Miyamoto.
You mean the swordsman of the two-sword style?
Musashi Miyamoto...
Who the heck's that?
Enough with the stories, just tell us where the sword is!
I wouldn't tell you if I was six feet under!
There it is!
Wait!
Let's get it and go home!
I told you so.
That blade strikes searing lightning unto the degenerate who touches it.
I see.
You're saying I'm a degenerate?
Precisely.
Now, scurry along!
This is no place for children!
Yay! I got it!
- That's amazing! - What?!
Even I couldn't pull out that sword, but he...
This whippersnapper...
Is he the legendary samurai I've waited for,
for four excruciating centuries?
Alas, this is the end.
The oni will roam and conquer the world.
It's heavy...
No, snap out of it.
The fate of humankind rests on my shoulders.
I shall take this juvenile under my wing,
I shall mold him into the strongest samurai the world has ever known!
Whoo-hoo! Look, I'm the legendary samurai!
Okay!
Let's make some lightning!
Here we go!
Ouch!
You're light-years from wielding that sword.
That hurt...
To brandish the blade,
you must first forge a spirit capable of conquering
the Thunder God's power within.
The Thunder God's power is in this sword?
No Thunder God is gonna get the best of me...
Show yourself, oh, God of Thunder!
Let's fight!
What happens if he loses to the Thunder God?
Well...
Oh, no!
Yaiba?
Oh, goodness gracious...
Cursed Thunder God...
I shall relish the challenge!
Stand back, young lady.
Okay.
It stopped.
The Raijinken.
Now I understand these stirrings of the sword.
FUJINKEN RAIJINKEN
It shall be mine.
Thank goodness. You're back.
The Thunder God trounced you.
Remember this.
To wield the Raijinken,
you must conquer its power by true courage,
or fall prey to its strength and become an oni.
You have only two options.
Is that why Onimaru has that weird oni look?
Likely, the blade summoned the oni within.
No one is without their own demons.
Fury, hatred, fierceness...
The potential for turning toward oni evil is endless.
As you are now,
you do not stand a chance.
So, what is your choice?
You have to ask?
I will not lose to the Thunder God.
I will wield the Raijinken...
and I will defeat Onimaru!
So he got the Raijinken,
but can Yaiba really handle it?
What? They're looking for the Raijinken too?
Who are they?
Next time, "Attack of the Eight Ogres."
