PART 1: The Story of Hijikata[]
PART 1: The Story of Hijikata (土方の話)
Conversations
Kane-san, this place is Hakodate!
In other words, this is where our master--no, our previous master...
Perhaps he could somehow not die and live on instead...
駄目だ駄目だ！ てめえ言いつけを忘れたか。歴史は歴史、良くも、悪くも
Of course not! Did you forget our orders? History is history, for better or for worse.
But Kane-san, you're crying...
PART 2: The Story of Okita[]
PART 2: The Story of Okita (沖田の話)
Conversations
What're you getting all gloomy over? It's annoying.
だって･･････沖田くんとは、結局一緒にこれなかっただろ
Because, I mean... in the end, we couldn't come here together with Okita-kun, could we?
そうねー。あの人、お前みたいな使いにくい刀好きだった分、体弱かったもんね
I guess~ Well, as much as that person liked a hard-to-use sword like you, he had a weak body, after all.
You're just as "hard-to-use", aren't you?
･･････そうね。ったく、俺たちみたいな刀の主は、長生きしてくれなきゃ迷惑だよ･･････
...Well that's true. Geez, for swords like us, it's a real pain if our master doesn't live a long life...

PART 3: Tarou and Jirou (太郎と次郎)
Conversations
We’re close to our hometown.
Do you plan on offering yourself again?
No. Today, I'm a combat sword after hundreds of years.
Hardly. I aid our master for the sake of attaining peace.
PART 4: Useless Objects[]
PART 4: Useless Objects (無用の長物)
Conversations
This era was so peaceful.
You're right, it was peaceful. Which meant I held almost no value.
As for me, I didn't even get a chance to prove my worth.
For useless objects such as ourselves to be given a chance here...
PART 5: Swords of Grief[]
PART 5: Swords of Grief (悲しみの剣たち)
Conversations
This is where we were burned.
Certainly, here is where we burned.
If only we could do things over...!
You mustn't. If you do, you’ll be no better than our enemies.
Let's believe. In our current master.
PART 6: Master Craftsman of Azuchi[]
PART 6: Master Craftsman of Azuchi (安土の名工)
Conversations
It's been a while. Brother.
I'm glad to see you're having fun.
It is the wish of this humble servant of Buddha to become strong enough so that he can laugh off everything.
What will you do when you become strong?
まあ、その時には戦も終わる。カカカ、美術品に戻るとするか
Well, by the time that happens the war will already be over. Kakaka, maybe I'll go back to being a work of art.
PART 7: The Sword of Imagawa[]
PART 7: The Sword of Imagawa (今川の剣)
Conversations
･･････ここは桶狭間。即ち、この後僕は魔王に囚われるのだ、と思うと･･････
...This is Okehazama. In other words, after this I'll be imprisoned by the Demon King. When I think of that...
なるほど。･･････哀しみの記憶は、癒えませんか
I see... will these sorrowful memories never heal, I wonder?
･･････わからないんだ。今川の剣で終わったほうが幸せだったのかどうか
...I don't know. Whether I would have been happier being a sword of Imagawa to the end.
･･････いろんなことがありすぎて、もうわからないんだ･･････
So many things have happened... that I don't know anymore...
PART 8: The Story of Yoshitsune[]
PART 8: The Story of Yoshitsune (義経の話)
Conversations
This place... is it Atsukashiyama?
That’s right. This is where we met our fates!
ぼくのまえのしゅじんをころしたひとたちが、しんでしまいました
The people who killed my previous master are already dead.
They are, as they should be.
While I’m here, maybe I can save my previous master.
Why can’t we change history?
･･････悲しいことはあっても、その次に我らがいるからだ
…Even through sad times, we must continue onward.
PART 9: The Path to Becoming a Divine Sword[]
PART 9: The Path to Becoming a Divine Sword (神剣までの道)
Conversations
I wonder why I can't become a divine sword.
Ghost or not, you still killed a child.
なんてね。何百年かすれば、またかわるかもしれないよ
Just kidding. Maybe things will be different in a few hundred years.
PART 10: Why There’s So Many Toushirous[]
PART 10: Why There’s So Many Toushirous (藤四郎だらけなのは)
Conversations
Big brother, why do we have so many siblings?
決まってるだろう。家康公が使ってたからだ。縁起がいいってな。どこの大名も持ちたがった
Isn't that obvious? It's because we served Lord Ieyasu. They say that we bring good fortune, so all the feudal lords wanted to possess a Toushirou.
So we're like good luck charms!
And because of that, there are also a load of fakes.
泣きそうな顔すんなよ。お前はそう、決まったわけじゃないから
Don't get all teary. You may still be genuine, anyway.
