Granblue Shodown - The Path of a Ravager - Episode 4
(Captain) and crew reach the heart of the miasma and confront Amakusa, who praises (Captain) and Haohmaru for their sublime fighting spirits. Haohmaru refuses Amakusa's request to join him in destroying the world, and the final battle begins.
(Captain) and company finally arrive at the origin of the miasma.
Waiting for them is the unmistakable source of countless evil deeds, Shiro Tokisada Amakusa.
Amakusa: Heh heh heh... It has been too long, Haohmaru. I knew you were the right choice for this.
Amakusa: Oh? Who are those children behind you? I sense such powerful spirits from them... How considerate of you to offer them to me.
Amakusa: Join me in ushering this world into oblivion. What better way is there to make use of such powerful spirits than to work alongside Lord Ambrosia?
Amakusa: Do so, and I will deign to forgive your trespasses against me. Now come. Let chaos reign!
Haohmaru: That's enough yammering out of you, Amakusa. We're not teaming up with you!
Amakusa: Humph. What utter foolishness. In that case... Lord Ambrosia will happily accept your lives as tribute!
Amakusa: Allow me to teach you the true meaning of fear!
Granblue Shodown - The Path of a Ravager - Episode 4: Scene 2
Amakusa unleashes his true power, but a surprise appearance from Genjuro saves the day. With the evil mastermind defeated, the two swordsmen finally have time to fight each other without reservations.
Amakusa is a fierce foe indeed, but even he cannot stand up to the onslaught from Haohmaru and (Captain).
Amakusa: Rgh... Impossible... How can this... be...
Amakusa: God of darkness... I beseech you... offer me your blessing once more!
The crew believes Amakusa defeated, but he once again calls upon the power of his dark lord to unleash true evil.
He concentrates the evil energies within him, unleashing a final enraged onslaught on the crew.
Amakusa: Hyooorgh! May the fires of hell consume you!
Haohmaru: Ngh... This isn't looking good.
Amakusa strikes at Haohmaru, who is defenseless to stop him.
(Captain) senses the threat and attempts to leap to Haohmaru's defense, but he's too far away.
A crimson flash suddenly bursts into the chamber.
Genjuro: You're struggling against a dead man? How pathetic can you be, Haohmaru?
Haohmaru: Genjuro... Why are you here?
Genjuro: I'm the one who's going to kill you. I refuse to let Amakusa get to you first!
Haohmaru: Ha ha ha... I guess it wouldn't be right for me to die after all the trouble you went through to save me.
Genjuro: Don't mistake my intentions. Once I finish Amakusa, you're next!
Haohmaru returns to his feet, and firmly grips his trusty blade, Fugudoku.
While far from rehearsed, Haohmaru nonetheless matches Genjuro's heroic actions, the two samurai breathing as one.
Genjuro: Doryaaah!
Haohmaru: Oryaaaah!
Their conflicting spirits overlap, merge, twist and change, becoming a singular, harmonious whole that begins to swallow Amakusa.
At that very instant, two brilliant flashes erupt from their blades, inescapably etching the mark of judgment upon Amakusa's body and soul.
Amakusa: Gwaaaargh...
Amakusa: How could I allow this to happen again... Haohmaru! Genjuro! (Captain)! How dare youuu!
Amakusa: But never forget. I will return... again and again... without fail...
Amakusa: To welcome you into the benediction of death! To usher the world into its final hours!
Haohmaru: Heh. Listen to him. Come back as many times as you want! We'll just kill you again!
Kuroko: Victory! Well done!
Kuroko: The victors are... Haohmaru! Genjuro! And (Captain)!
Vyrn: I didn't see nothin'...
Lyria: Yeah... Me neither.
Genjuro: Hey! Idiot! Still got some fight left in you?
Haohmaru: Of course.
Genjuro: Heh heh... No one left to interrupt. We can do whatever we want now.
Haohmaru and Genjuro are battered and bruised from the battle with Amakusa. But their bloodlust burns unabated.
Lyria can't help but worry about the two of them.
Lyria: Please don't fight. You need medical attention...
(Captain) pats Lyria on the head.
To understand the spirit of a samurai requires becoming a samurai yourself, (Captain) explains. Those outside their brutal world must not interfere.
When Lyria hears this, the words she had for Haohmaru and Genjuro die in her throat.
Kuroko: Fair and square!
Genjuro: Haohmaru... It's time to die!
Haohmaru: We'll see about that!
The clash of these two master swordsmen creates shockwaves that shake the chamber's foundations.
They reverberate ever outward, purifying the miasma scouring the world, returning the skies to their original pure azure.
It is a sound not unlike a victory cry. A paean to those who brought this long, hard-fought struggle to an end. May it offer courage to all who hear it.
