Having become uneasy about
the advent of the New Year...
:26:03
...Niiro headed to Tachibana Isshinsai's
dojo in Okachi Village in Shitaya...
:26:06
...after discussions with
his fellow rogue ronin.
:26:08
For what purpose?
:26:10
For what purpose?
Sir... it was for Dojo-harassment.
:26:15
Not good...
:26:17
Not good...
:26:23
That will be all.
:26:25
Wait!
:26:31
We've accommodated enough outside
styles for today. Please leave.
:26:34
Impossible!
:26:35
Here I stand.
:26:40
I believe that... I've clearly demonstrated
our strengths to your four friends.
:26:46
If you want to brag, you ought to wait
until you've finished dueling with me.
:26:52
It seems I have no choice. Very well
then, please prepare yourself.
:26:54
I'm ready right now!
:26:57
I'm ready right now!
What?!
:27:36
'Twas... a long duel... that left us
speechless with admiration...
:27:41
...but, in the end...
:27:43
Their skills were perfectly
matched, so...
:27:45
...if they continued, the result would
have been a simultaneous strike...
:27:47
...and both would have suffered
grievous injuries.
:27:52
So, the match was
concluded.
:27:55
If I may so ask... that is Jigen-
Ichi-Style, isn't it?
:27:59
That is correct.
