Granblue Shodown - The Path of a Ravager - Episode 2

After performing a burial ritual for the villagers, Haohmaru explains more about Amakusa's past. The crew notices that Haohmaru almost seems to be looking forward to the possibility of fighting him.



After finishing the burial ceremony for the villagers, Haohmaru turns back to look at the crew.
A quiet anger lingers on his face, smoldering gently.
Lyria: Um, Haohmaru? What kind of person is Amakusa?
Lyria: You said he was responsible for all the strange things that have been happening. He might have something to do with the request we received.
Haohmaru: An evil pretty boy who plunged into the abyss. A fallen scion of a dark god... He's been called lots of things over the years.
Haohmaru: Basically... he's undying, causes disasters everywhere, and is trying to take over the world.
Vyrn: Did you say undying? There are people like that out there?
Haohmaru: He died as a human a long time ago, but he borrowed the power of a dark god or something to resurrect his soul.
Haohmaru: No matter how many times I cut him down, he keeps coming back. Guy just doesn't know when to give up.
Haohmaru's expression contorts painfully into something that could almost be confused for a smile.
Vyrn: You're enjoying this, aren't you, Bushy Bushido?
Haohmaru: Yeah. I like crossing swords with tough opponents. And Amakusa's only gotten tougher since the last time I killed him.
Lyria: Oh my gosh! You like sword fighting with others?
Vyrn: Now that you mention it... You didn't even blink when those villagers attacked us earlier.
Haohmaru: Ha ha ha... Got me there. If I'm gonna be cutting down demons, I might just have to become a little demon-like myself to keep up.
Haohmaru: Where would I be if I didn't?
The crew can't help but be taken aback by Haohmaru's strangely positive attitude.
He's helpful and good-natured, but something about him feels unsettlingly otherworldly to the crew.
Haohmaru: Hm? The hell's that?
Haohmaru stops laughing. Insane voices reverberate through the air.
The crew looks ahead.
Vyrn: Whoa! There's smoke coming from over there!
Lyria: Oh no! Something's burning!
Haohmaru: I don't like the look of this. My boat's anchored over there.
Haohmaru: If I had to guess, those crazed villagers probably set it on fire.
Haohmaru scratches his head in bemusement before heading after (Captain) and the others.
Haohmaru: From the way you guys were talking earlier, it sounds like we're both after the same thing.
Haohmaru: If we're in the same boat, I don't suppose you'd mind letting me board yours? I mean... mine's on fire.
With a big, beaming smile that feels a world removed from the stoic swordsman the crew met earlier, Haohmaru pleads with (Captain) to let him on the ship.
(Captain) sees no reason to deny the request. To Shimabara Isle!

Granblue Shodown - The Path of a Ravager - Episode 2: Scene 2

(Captain) and Haohmaru arrive on Shimabara, the island where Amakusa is waiting for them. Haohmaru suddenly comes under attack by his longtime foe and fellow swordsman Genjuro Kibagami.



After a long journey, (Captain), Haohmaru, and the rest of the crew arrive on Shimabara Isle.
Oppressive, stifling air assaults them as soon as they step foot on the island.
They have no choice but to push forward, the miasma growing thicker as they draw closer to the island's center.
Haohmaru is leading the way when he suddenly stops.
Haohmaru: ...
Lyria: Is something wrong, Haohmaru?
Vyrn: More villagers?
Haohmaru: No. I've been sensing an intense bloodlust ever since we got here.
Haohmaru: And to top it off... Heh heh. I'd know this scent anywhere. Brings back memories.
Lyria: The smell is... reminding you of something?
Genjuro: Haohmaru... I'll kill you!
Haohmaru: Try me!
Lyria: Oh my gosh! Another swordsman?
Vyrn: You okay, Bushy Bushido?
Haohmaru: Heh heh... You never change, Genjuro! What are you doing here?
Genjuro: Stupid question. I'm here to kill you, Haohmaru!
Both fighters close in, concentrating their spirit and looking for the perfect range to go in for the kill.
Close enough. Haohmaru and Genjuro rush at each other, their swords colliding with earth-shattering force.
Genjuro: Doryaah!
Haohmaru: Oryaaah!
Swords clash. Sparks dance. The ringing of blades reverberates through the crew's eardrums.
Both Genjuro and Haohmaru are unmistakably fighting with everything on the line, but they also seem to be enjoying themselves.
(Captain) simply watches the duel in stunned silence, breath held in anticipation.
