SDK Chapter 211 - Awkward Loyalty 1 (A guy wearing a very bad Yukimura mask is pretending to fish - I guess Yukimura ran out of *good* body doubles) Villagers: Hey, Yukimura-sama, catching anything? Villager 1: Yukimura-sama is awful quiet today, don't you think? Villager 2: Oh no, that's Mochizuki Rokurou-sama you're looking at! Villager 2: I wonder where he went off to... Rokurou: Yukimura-sama... Kosuke... please come back soon... Sign pointing to Rokuro: Mochizuki Rokurou of the Sanada Juuyuushi. He lost at rock-paper-scissors and got stuck with this job. 2 (Yukimura has his sword to Shindara's neck and looks PISSED.) Yukimura: Sasuke... apologise to the Juuyuushi... Text: Chapter 211 - Awkward Loyalty 3 (And everybody else is like "WTF???!!") Yukimura: Otherwise... Yukimura: I will kill you! Kosuke: Yukimura-sama... Yukimura: Yes... apologise... 4 (Yukimura is about to give the killing blow...) Yukimura: Your regeneration abilities won't do you much good if I cut off your head... Yukimura: Apologise and I'll spare your life. Shindara: Apologise? Shindara: ...How childish... Haven't you been saying that you believe in me all this time? Shindara: ...How long will you continue to be so weak? Shindara: Cut the crap!! I abandoned you - kill me! Please! KILL ME!! Yukimura: SASUKE!! 5 (When Kosuke jumps in to shield Shindara with her own body! Whee, boobies!) Yukimura: K... Yukimura: Kosuke...!? 6 (Kosuke won't budge, and starts yelling passionately) Saizou: ...Kosuke!! What are you doing?! Kosuke: Y... Kosuke: *huff* Kosuke: Yukimura-sama... Kosuke: Yukimura-sama...!! Please, don't kill Sasuke-san!! Kosuke: Sasuke-san... Sasuke-san never betrayed you!! Yukimura: ...What?! Bon: Huh? Kamanosuke: Kosuke... what are ya sayin'? Shindara: Kosuke... stop this... Kosuke: No! I won't!! Kosuke: I know... I'm breaking our promise, but... my heart just can't take it... Kosuke: I just... 7 (Kosuke transitions into a flashback sequence...) Kosuke: I can't just sit back and watch this happen!! Yukimura: Kosuke... Yukimura: ...You know something. You have to tell me. Kosuke: Yes... Kosuke: Just before Sasuke-san left the Sanada clan, I spoke with him... Kosuke: Sasuke-san...!! How can you just leave Yukimura-sama like this...?! Kosuke: I... I believe in you, Sasuke-san...!! Kosuke: I... I know you would never betray Yukimura-sama...!! 8 (And it's a flashback to when Shindara is leaving! Shindara thinks back to Tokito's prediction that Yukimura will die without accomplishing anything.) Kosuke: Why, Sasuke-san?! Give me an answer!! Kosuke: Answer me, or I swear I won't let you go...!! Shindara: ... Shindara: You never change, Kosuke... Shindara: You must not speak a word of this to anyone. Shindara: In this world... there are great powers we know nothing of. There are people stronger than the Tokugawa, with power that common people can never achieve... these people are the Mibu. Tokito: [Sanada Yukimura has a little over ten years to live... Do you also want to die too, without ever gaining the world? If not... come to me.] Shindara: I intend to go to the Mibu Clan... Kosuke Are you saying that you'll leave the Sanada Clan...?! Shindara: I must have that power... Shindara: And I cannot search the world to find it while blinded by the Sanada... Kosuke: .... Shindara: I believe that Yukimura-sama is strong when motivated by his dreams and his ideals... Shindara: And I believe he can overcome even fate to conquer his enemies. Shindara: But... the Mibu Clan is stronger... I don't know if danger will befall him, but if that time should come... 9 (Shindara poses dramatically and explains his plans.) Shindara: If the Sanada Clan is to be saved... if Yukimura-sama is to be saved... it will require someone operating from within the enemy itself. Shindara: It is for the same reason that Yukimura-sama's own brother, Sanada Nobuyuki-sama, was on the enemy side at the Battle of Sekigahara... Kosuke: T... Kosuke: That's... Kosuke: You would decieve Yukimura-sama for that?! Kosuke: Yukimura-sama would want you risking yourself like that!! Kosuke: But... but what if you end up having to fight against Yukimura-sama and the Juuyuushi...?! Kosuke: Someone will have to fall! Sasuke-san, you're making a mistake... Shindara: I don't care. Shindara: I don't care what others may think. I have chosen one master in my life, and that is Sanada Yukimura-sama. I will protect him, and I will save him. Shindara: This is how I will show my loyalty. This is how I will live my life. Kosuke: S... Sasuke-san... 10 (Flashback ends and we're back to the present. Yuki looks pretty shocked.) Shindara: "I will stay with Sanada Yukimura-sama for as long as I live..." Our paths have now diverged, but my heart is with the rest of the Juuyuushi. Yukimura: Sasuke... this means... you were... Shindara: That was too much... Shindara: For a made-up story... Kosuke: !? 11 (Shindara looks sort of sad but determined. Yukimura looks hurt and adorable.) Shindara: It was out of pure self-interest that I went to Nobunaga-sama, and to the Mibu. Shindara: I did not want to serve someone destined to fail... Shindara: Why waste my life on a master who can give me nothing better than his trust? Shindara: And after this battle, I was really shocked... Kosuke: Sasuke-san... Shindara: Shocked at how someone can really not change at all after all these years... Shindara: Yes... Shindara: You're just as innocent as you always were... Shindara: I know I was not mistaken in choosing the Mibu. Yukimura: Sasuke... 12 (Shindara stands up and starts to walk off, thinking one thing and saying another.) Yukimura: Sasuke... you... Shindara: [Yukimura-sama... I know you've always believed in me until now... and from the bottom of my heart, I was happy.] Shindara: ...I think it's best that I leave you again... Shindara: ...And that we never meet again... Shindara: [You are truly the kindest of men... so I will take my secrets to the grave...] Shindara: The line between master and servant should be clear... I have no place among you. Shindara: [Despite my failings, you Juuyuushi have grown strong...] Shindara: [You will be just as well without me...] Saizou: S... Sasuke... Shindara [Yukimura-sama... I ask only that you take care of yourself. I am selfish, I know...] Shindara: I will give myself fully to Nobunaga-sama and the Mibu Clan, and sever all former ties to the Sanada Clan... Shindara: [Yes...] 13 (Yukimura just looks SO HURT, and Shindara makes a sexy pose. Then he has a couple brief flashback glimpses of happy days with Yuki and the Juuyuushi). Shindara: [This is...] Shindara: [My loyalty...] Shindara: [Even if we don't live in the same place...] Shindara: [Even if we don't walk the same path...] Shindara: [We share one heart...] 14 (2-page spread of Yuki and the Juuyuushi walking together and being cute.) Shindara: [Until the day we die...] 15 (2-page spread continues) Shindara: [We will stay with Sanada Yukimura...] 16 (Shindara is walking away all dramatically, when omfg, he starts dissolving into leaves! How ninjaesque!) Yukimura: S... Sasuke!! Yukimura: Come back... Yukimura: Let's be together again... Shindara: [I leave behind only what I have taught you...] Shindara: [So that you may change the fate Tokito read...] Jinpachi: S... Sasuke?! Kamanosuke: He... he was... 17 (Shindara (or rather the fake copy of Shindara) has transformed completely into leaves and blown away) Kamanosuke: Jus' a dang copy?! Kamanosuke: But he was just... Saizou: Sasuke!! Saizou: Sasuke!! Shindara: Goodbye, Sanada Yukimura... Saizou: Sasuke... Saizou: Sasuke!! Saizou: What do you think you're doing, Sasuke?! 18 (AWW Yukimura looks like he's going to cry or something as he gazes off at the swirling leaves.) Saizou: We've got to chase him down!! He must be around here somewhere...!! Saizou: Just give the order...!! Saizou: Yukimura-sama!! Yukimura: I can't. Yukimura: [You did this... to protect me...] Yukimura: [You even went so far as to trick me...] Yukimura: [So I can't follow you just yet...] Yukimura: [Because I know this is just your way of showing that you care...] Yukimura: I can't... give the order. 29 (Yukimura goes over to face Kyo) Saizou: Yukimura-sama... Yukimura: [It is my duty to protect the Sanada Clan...] 20 (Yukimura gives Kyo a sexy look. And omg, he has a tiny ass. I mean, it's totally flat in this back view. Loooong legs... no butt at all.) Yukimura: Sorry to keep you waiting... 21 (Kyo stands up and gives him a sexy look right back! It's going to be a battle of sexy gazes!) Yukimura: Kyo-san...
