==Valhalla==
===Tomb Raider - Manius===
<!-- Not the actual name, obviously -->
Eivor arrived at the docks at Ravensthorpe, finding a crowd of onlookers witnessing strage behaviour on a group of animals in the river.
*'''Norse Woman 1:''' ''Do you hear that?''
*'''Norse Woman 2:''' ''Thor's testicles! What is happening over there?''
*'''Norse Woman 3:''' ''Have you ever known anything like this?''
Eivor approached them.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What is going on?''
*'''Norse Woman 1:''' ''Across the river! The animals have lost their senses!''
*'''Norse Woman 2:''' ''My very pig chewed through her fence and plunged into the river. She tried to swim across!''
*'''Norse Woman 1:''' ''O! I have seen crows attacking one another. Perhaps this is serious.''
*'''Eivor:''' ''It is concerning. My raven might see better. Synin!''
Through the raven's eyes, Eivor could see strange winds surrounding a rock marked with a rune.
*'''Eivor:''' [ONO - HUH?] <!-- surprisingly, not a transcriber's note from me, but actual text. --> ''Synin herself has lost course.''
*'''Norse Woman 2:''' ''Something must be done!''
*'''Norse Woman 1:''' ''Do you think we are in danger?''
*'''Eivor:''' ''I will look into it.''
Eivor crossed the river and went towards the marked rock. As she touched the rune, the rock itself flickered away into an Isu column, revealing an entrance into the mountain itself.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What seidr is this?''
A note laid nearby the small column.
:'''Strange Columns'''<br>''I am struck by the unusual stone structures found in the tombs.<br><br>I cannot believe that Britons, who live in huts of clay could have carved such columns.<br><br>Some long-forgotten peoples must have erected them.<br><br>- Manius Calvisius, Engineer to the Emperor''
Eivor entered Manius's Sanctum, taking a leap of faith into a cart of hay at the bottom of the cave. She began exploring the tunnels beneath, finding another note.
:'''Command of Nero Claudius Germanicus, Emperor of Rome'''<br>''Manius, I know you to be a capable engineer with a cunning and sometimes diabolical imagination. I am therefore assigning you this weighty commission.<br><br>The barbarians of Britain have taken to gathering at the tombs of their heroes as if at sacred shrines. There they foment rebellion against Rome and therefore against my very person.<br><br>This cannot be tolerated.<br><br>However, Manius, I have consulted my soothsayer, a man of subtle knowledge. The auguries tell him that to defile the tombs or even to seal them away would bring a storm of ill fortune upon me personally.<br><br>You see the problem.<br><br>You must leave the tombs unharmed but endeavor to make access to them so parlous as to be unthinkable.<br><br>I am not asking of you a favor, Manius. This is a command from your emperor.<br><br>- Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus''
She came upon a hall with a couple of pressure plates.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I need to place something on this.''
On a small room adjacent, she found a mechanism that dispensed a small round weight.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Where does this belong?''
She placed it on one of the plates in the hall and went to find something to weigh down the other.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I need something very heavy to weigh this down.''
A movable column, taller than her, was found in a sealed room, also adjacent to the hall.
*'''Eivor:''' ''This could be useful.''
Placing that upon the plate, a gate opened, allowing her to proceed.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Ah! A hidden chamber.<br>This is the ancient work of Romans.''
Eivor approached what seemed to be an Isu map of the Isles, finding a key to Manius' workshop and another note.
:'''The Final Conundrum'''<br>''All the tombs are now protected by my contraptions.<br><br>Yet I am defeated by this final entrance! What could lie behind it? How does one open its odd gateway?<br><br>It is perhaps the one problem I cannot solve.<br><br>- Manius''
*'''Eivor:''' ''Is this England? Odd. Some locations are marked.''
On the ground before it, the final entrance Manius had mentioned.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Sealed tight. No way to open this.''
Eivor unlocked the door leading to the engineer's workshop, continuing on.
*'''Eivor:''' ''The workshop of a madman.''
She read a note from his desk.
:'''Notes from the Roman Engineer'''<br>''Emperor Nero has given mea task born of Madness. I am to prevent the Britons from gathering at the tombs of their fallen heroes.<br><br>Yet I cannot simply build a wall! Our mad emperor insists that it be possible to approach the tombs, but mandates that all who attempt to do so shall perish.<br><br>My duty is to do as he wishes, however nonsensical. And so I shall.<br><br>- Manius Calvisius''
Near a prototype traps, two notes were affixed with daggers.
:'''Notes for Spinning Traps'''<br>''I lured a credulous Briton into one of the spinning traps.<br><br>Successful dismemberment.''
 
:'''Notes for Spike Walls'''<br>''The tests with the animals went badly. I must sharpen the spikes!''
Past the spike trap, Eivor looted a chest, retrieving the Fallen Hero Cape.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Impressive gear.''
 
===Tomb Raider - Boudicca===
Eivor approached the marked rock. As she touched the rune, the rock itself flickered away into an Isu column, revealing an entrance into the mountain itself.
*'''Eivor:''' ''The same as the other.''
This time, there was a note affixed to the Isu column itself.
:'''The Illusions'''<br>''By pure happenstance, I have unleashed the power of this remarkable machinery.<br><br>Using some artifice, the entrances to these caves are obscured, leaving a passer by to belive there is no entrance at all!<br><br>If I belived the gods existed, I would ascribe this to Mercury himself.<br><br>- Manius''
Eivor entered Boudicca's tomb.
*'''Eivor:''' ''This place is not very welcoming.''
She made her way deeper, avoiding the numerous spike traps.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Ah! Go! Go! Go!''
Once upon a large room filled with traps and some pressure plates, Eivor started to locate the appropriate weights and placing them where they were needed. Eivor crossed a deep chasm filled with poisonous gas.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Best not fall.''
She went down a pit of spikes and found a mechanism that dispensed a small round weight. To return to the main hall, however, she had to traverse a tunnel filled with gas and spinning traps.
*'''Eivor:''' ''I have to go through this?''
She placed the weight upon the pressure plate and went to find another. Eivor went through a tunnel of gas and spike walls, finding another mechanism at the end of it.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Slowly. Carefully.''
She made her way back to the main hall, weight in hand.
*'''Eivor:''' ''How many traps are in this place?''
Once all four plates were weighed down, the gate opened.
*'''Eivor:''' ''Another chamber May this one be as truthful.''
Into the crypt proper, Eivor encountered Boudicca's tomb, and leaning against it, a ghostly apparition of the very Iceni warrior that laid there.
*'''Boudicca:''' ''Who disturbs my centuries-long slumber? I well deserved the rest. When my husband, chief of the Iceni, died, the Romans broke their promise to us. They took our lands, cattle, crops, our horses and boats. They defiled my daughters. Then me. As I am of fiery temper, with my husband's sword, I hacked through their legions. I burned their camps at Colchester, Lunden, Albanes. Desecrated Roman tombs. Let flow rivers of Roman blood. But there were too many. Defeated, I drank poison rather than give myself to their sweaty hands. I am Boudicca.''
The ghost pounded on her own chest and disappeared. Eivor found a note on the tomb.
:'''Tribute to Boudicca'''<br>''Fiery hair and fiery heart<br>Our Boudicca burned the Roman camps<br>And danced in the flames<br>They could not kill her<br>She saw to that.''
She retrived the Fallen Hero Greaves and Bracers from two nearby chests.
*'''Eivor:''' ''More! Of the same kind as the first.''
On a hidden tunnel, she found a strange artifact.
*'''Eivor:''' ''What is this?<br>hásm<br>Why did I say that? There must be someplace where these words are useful.''

===HQ 1===
====At the Source====
Lea Cantato and her cortigiane oneste will be your allies. They offer to bribe some informants in order to check the area.
 
====A Stubborn Captain====
Thanks to the courtesans, the locals are your eyes and your ears. But Zini, a captain of the guard, refuses to collaborate.
 
Maybe this captain is not as blameless as he claims... It's time to investigate.
 
====A Scream in the Night====
Your informants report that Zini, the captain who threatens you, spends a lot of time in an abandoned building in the ghetto.
 
Some claim to have heard screams. Infiltrate the building and find out what's going on.
 
====That was Close!====
You catch Zini as he is about to murder a former courtesan who has fled the clutches of his power. His guards are not far behind. Decide what to do.
*Do nothing
*Eliminate Zini: get [skull]
 
====Suspicious Disappearance====
A courtesan disappeared during your infiltration of the ruined building. She must be found.
 
====Inside the Barracks====
The courtesan is in Zini's barracks!
*Infiltrate if you own [skull]: continuation 1 [In Bad Condition]
*Infiltrate: continuation 2 [The End Justifies...]
 
====In Bad Condition====
The infiltration went smoothly: Captain Zini's disappearance must have something to do with it. You get to the jail and rescue the courtesan.
 
====The End Justifies...====
It was Zini who kidnapped the courtesan and chased her into the barracks. With what you know about him, you blackmail him and negotiate the release of the courtesan, but with no glory.
 
====Roman Threat====
The freed courtesan says that elite horseman are on their way from Rome. They will easily succumb to the charms of the courtesans if the latter are trained to attract their attention.
*get [mask]
 
====Discreet Meeting====
Luigi Ranieri, a suitor for the Doge's succession, offers you his political support and protection if you manage to find a letter held by his rivals, the Viateni. You have accepted. You must now locate the letter.
 
====Interception====
The letter compromising Luigi Ranieri has been located. It will be deposited in the denunciation box of the Ducal Palace, intercept it as soon as possible!
 
====Temptation====
You've retrieved the sealed letter! What does it contain that is so important to Luigi Ranieri?
*Do nothing.
*Forge the stamp and read the letter: continuation [Dramatic Turn of Events!]
 
====Dramatic Turn of Events!====
The letter has been opened! It reveals, with supporting evidence, that Luigi Ranieri is... a Templar!
 
If his allegiance were to be revealed, he could no longer become a member of the Grand Council.
*receive [letter]
 
====The Return of Luigi====
Ranieri's on his way to the Headquarters to get the letter.
*Do not give him the letter (must have [letter]): continuation 1 [Ambush!]
*Give him the letter: continuation 2 [The Impromptu Luigi]
 
====Ambush!====
You refuse to give the letter. Tension is rising. Ranieri comes at you. But the ambush you were planning should allow you to go scot-free...
 
====The Impromptu Luigi====
"Thank you, my lords. It is good to know that I owe my appointment to the Grand Council to... Assassins. And my allegiance to the Templars obliges me to thank you in the nices possible way." He pulls out his weapon, and his men rush to attack you!
 
====Neighborhood Network====
Your Headquarters have become the center of a network of informants scattered over half the city, but you can stretch out even further...
 
====Venetian Network====
Your Headquarters have become the center of a network of informants scattered throughout Venice and its surroundings, Bravo! Keep up the good work.
 
====To Italy and Beyond!====
Your Headquarters have become the center of a network of informants that radiates throughout Italy... and beyond! Congratulations!

*'''Yasuke:''' ''Caro. You are near. Can you feel it? It is the sins of your past, given form.''
[]
*'''Nuno Caro:''' ''So. She helped him.''

[]
*'''Assassin:''' ''Go!''
[]
*'''Caro:''' ''Diogo?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Yasuke.''
[]
*'''Nuno Caro:''' ''It was necessary. I had to set an example to the others. Your mother's death taught everyone how I felt about insubordination. Everyone except you, it seems.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''It is uncommon for a corpse to talk this much.''
*'''Caro:''' ''So, what do you want, Diogo? Revenge? It will get you nothing, I'm afraid. We have the regalia already.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Not for long. We will make sure of it.''
*'''Caro:''' ''"We?" Diogo. I was sent here because no one else in my organization cared enough. And look what I accomplished. Look around you, Diogo. Everything you see here is mine. This land, its resources, its people. You should understand that better than anyone.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Put a hundred, a thousand men between us, Caro... there is no difference. You are welcome to watch them all die.''
[]
*'''Caro:''' ''My friends. The bounty for escaped slaves will be honored today. But only dead.''

*'''Caro:''' ''Kill him so we can focus on what really matters!''
[]

*'''Yasuke:''' ''After you killed my mother, I kept my desire for vengeance in my heart. In the same place I once held thoughts of her. It kept me alive. Nourished me. To get to you today.''
*'''Caro:''' ''Then... it's yours. Vengeance. Not that it will bring her back.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''It is no longer mere vengeance I want.''
*'''Caro:''' ''Then what is it? What is this all about?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''A declaration of war. Against the Templar Order.''
*'''Caro:''' ''You are serious? My God, you're serious. What makes you think you can win?''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Because we are united in the defense of our home. This country... so shaken with strife. The people are victims to it. But together, they will be unstoppable. We will be unstoppable. We live by this code. And it is because of my league that I know what I must do.''
[]
*'''Caro:''' ''And what does killing me prove?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''That no one is untouchable. That even you are just one blade of grass in a withering field. And when you die, no one will remember you. Your death will only ever be a message to your compatriots. One that says you should fear us.''
*'''Caro:''' ''We will hunt you down. My group will send everything at you.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''After they find what is left of you, they may think twice. You may start praying now.''
[]
*'''Caro:''' ''This isn't over. It's the beginning, in fact. The beginning of your end.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''It is done...''
*'''Caro:''' ''Declaring war on the Templars. A fool's errand. Goodbye, Diogo.''
[]
*'''Caro:''' (gurgles)
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''My name...''

====Surprise!====
===The Lesson===
Spying on the Colonna has been fruitful: They are preparing to attack! Take them by surprise by striking tonight!
[09:43-10:30][47]
[]
*'''Bandit:''' ''Ah! It's Meiran! Take him!''
*'''Meiran:''' ''Not these bandits again! They are the bane of my existence!''
*'''Bandit:''' ''You will never escape us!''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''My friend Junjiro is at the temple. I must go there in case more of these outlaws decide to attack.''
*'''Meiran:''' ''You go ahead. I will make my way there as fast as I can.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Interesting.''
[]
*'''Junjiro:''' ''Over here!''
[12:52-13:17][25]
[]
*'''Meiran:''' [breathes]
[]
*'''Monk:''' ''Finally, he is here.''
*'''Pilgrim:''' ''It is time for us to learn the ways of bojustsu.''
*'''Junjiro:''' (gasps)
[14:09-14:49][40]
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I do not trust him.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Why don't you go. I will stay and see what his lessons are worth.''
[]
*'''Junjiro:''' (grunts)
*'''Naoe:''' ''And keep an eye on Junjiro.''
*'''Junjiro:''' (grunts)
*'''Yasuke:''' ''At least he looks like he will have some fun.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Hmm...''
[]
*'''Student:''' ''Shall we fight together?''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Let's go.''
*'''Student:''' ''I will not hold back.''
[]
*'''Student 1:''' ''You fight well!''
[]
*'''Student:''' (breathes)
*'''Naoe:''' ''Keep training and soon you will be a master of the bo, I am sure.''
[]
*'''Student 2:''' ''Hello?''
[]
*'''Student:''' ''Are you ready to spar?''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Yes. It is time.''
*'''Student:''' ''Good, good.''
[]
*'''Monk:''' ''Be gentle with me.''
[]
*'''Student:''' (breathes)
*'''Naoe:''' ''You fight well for a novice.''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''Maybe Meiran can suggest another challenge.''
[19:08-19:30][22]
[]
*'''Meiran:''' ''Remember, young lady, you do not need to get in close. Better to strike from afar.''
[]
*'''Monk:''' ''Bandits! Bandits are attacking the temple!''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''I must defend the temple.''
*'''Monk:''' ''Meiran! They've come for your silver!''
*'''Bandit leader:''' ''Kill them all! Take their silver!''
[]
*'''Pilgrim:''' ''The bo master is unstoppable!''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''More of them.''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' [breathes]
[23:33-24:46][73]
[]
*'''Meiran:''' ''It seems you have taken something from my lessons beyond mastery of bo combat. Now, excuse me. I must pray.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''They deserve your prayers.''
*'''Meiran:''' ''I don't pray for them. I pray for me.''


[If Betrayal token, continuation: Neighborhood Alliance]
===The Yokai===
Rumors of yokai plague these lands. A monk-turned-demon-hunter needs help to uncover the truth of these monstrous tales.


====Neighborhood Alliance====
[00:14-01:25][71]
You discover that Vitelli's troops have allied with the Colonna! Giovanni Vitelli will make you pay for your refusal to lend him your mercenaries when he needed them...
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Even as a child I never believed in ghost stories. People do much worse things than we can even imagine.''
[]
*'''Mamushi:''' ''I have heard all the stories. I investigated each and every one. And always, there is a logical explanation.''
[]
*'''Mamushi:''' ''I am old and tired. You are young and strong. I give the last of these rumors to you. Prove to yourself, and everyone else, there are no yokai!''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I am no Yokai hunter, but if I come across any in my travels, you will be the first to know.''
*'''Mamushi:''' ''Come back when all the rumors of yokai are dead.''


====Eastern Fortress====
Taka Nyudo
Your Headquarters are growing ever bigger. The Brotherhood covers half of Venice, but it can still stretch further...
[]
*'''Taka Nyudo:''' (growls)
*'''Chitose:''' ''Help!''
[]
*'''Chitose:''' ''Thank you. He was a monster. He had fire in his eyes.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Our eyes can play tricks when we fear for our lives.''
*'''Chitose:''' ''Fear opens eyes wide to see death up close.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Do you have somewhere safe to go?''
*'''Chitose:''' ''I've been following the wind, you see. It carries a name on its back. Mamushi...''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Mamushi. I've been helping him disprove some myths.''
*'''Chitose:''' ''Fear surrounds him. Many tales of ghosts and demons. I have a tale of my own to tell him. Thank you for your kindness.''


====Venetian Fortress====
Oshiroi Baba
Your Headquarters are firmly established. The ramifications of the Brotherhood extend over Venice and its surroundings, keep on working!
[]
*'''Oshiroi Baba:''' [wails]
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''That did not sound... human.''
[]
*'''Oshiroi Baba:''' [wails] ''Ichiro-o-o! You are dead... and now I am alone...''
[]
*'''Oshiroi Baba:''' [screams]
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Oshiroi Baba! I know nothing of Ichiro. I do not want to hurt you.''
*'''Obaba:''' (laughs) ''What did you call me? Oshiroi Baba? I am no yokai, you fool!''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I do not think so. But everyone in the village does.''
*'''Obaba:''' ''Idiots! But now I see you clearly. You are not my husband's killer. He was much smaller.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Well, you're scaring the villagers. Go home and get some rest. Drink some tea.''
*'''Obaba:''' ''You are kind. I'm sorry I attacked you.''


====To Italy and Beyond!====
Yuki Onna
Your Headquarters have become a true fortress. Congratulations!
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Yuki-Onna, the snow woman. They say to kiss her icy lips is to know love one moment, and death the next.''
[]
*'''Woman:''' ''A visitor? You must be cold. Join me inside. Let me warm you.''
[]
*'''Yuki Onna:''' ''I don't want to fight. Come, have some tea instead.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''She was beautiful, but her heart was made of ice.''


The Brotherhood shines throughout Italy... and beyond!
Suika no Bakemono
[]
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''Do not interfere, stranger. The fate of our melon harvest is about to be decided.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''That depends on the sky and not the sword, does it not?''
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''For generations the Suika family has waged battle with the Makuwauri melon clan. And for generations the harvest of the champion has prospered.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Both harvests cannot be prosperous?''
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''Insanity! Which is your favorite? The delicious suika, or the mediocre makuwauri?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I enjoy the suika more. They are crisp and refreshing.''
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''A very wise choice. And now, prepare to defend them with your life!''
[]
*'''Suika no Bakemono:''' ''You fought well! The title of "Melon Lord" goes to the suika!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Definitely no yokai here. Just two farmers with a fiery passion for... melons.''

Kappa
[]
*'''Kappa Taku:''' (growls) ''Shirikodama! Hungry!''
*'''Kappa Rei:''' (growls) ''Closer! We are going to eat...''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''They look like Kappa. And they definitely smell like Kappa.''
*'''Kappa Taku:''' ''You'll never catch us. You're too slow and fat!''
*'''Kappa Rei:''' ''And when you get tired and fall, we're going to eat you for dinner.''
[]
*'''Girl:''' (yelps) ''Please don't hurt us! We made a deal with the thieves! We scare people away from their camp for food.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Just children. I actually believed you were Kappa! I feel foolish.''

*'''Yasuke:''' ''Bird cries from a warrior. Could this be a Daitengu?''

[]
*'''Daitengu:''' (caws) ''Mortal wanderer. Do you seek honor in the clash of steel? Or do you flutter by like a leaf on the breeze? Do you see your reflection in my blade? Or do you wear a mask to protect your soul?''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I always wanted to cross blades with a Daitengu. This was just a man who talks like a bird.''


===Miscellanea===
Return to Mamushi
====Hidden Blade*====
[14:27-15:09][42]
Ever since Darius, a Proto-Assassin, eliminated the Persian king Xerxes,
[]
the hidden blade has become the signature weapon of the Brotherhood of Assassins.
*'''Chitose:''' ''I am spawned from the dread of mortals. Your fear makes me stronger.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''In the end... Mamushi was wrong. Yes. Yokai.''


It is usually hidden using an armband and can be deployed in a flash, revealing a formidably sharp point. Thanks to modifications made by Altaïr, you no longer need to cut off a finger to use it to its best advantage. Some Assassins, however, continue to mutilate themselves out of tradition and devotion to the Brotherhood.
===The Tournament (Shadows)===
Naoe and Yasuke receive an invitation to a formidable and secret fighting arena in Yamato.


====Cesare Borgia's Pistol====
[00:15-01:07][52]
Made under duress by Leonardo da Vinci for the Baron de Valois, this pistol of rare precision includes several innovations never seen on weapons of this era. It can be immediately identified thanks to its golden metal spinning wheel.
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' [breathes] ''That is everything. Please consider my proposal.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Sounds like I have found the fighting tournament. People here are quite... uninhibited.''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''You came!''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''It's a match! Victory to Lord Unkai!''
[]
*'''Lord Unkai:''' [scoffs] ''Gyoji!''
[02:37-03:30][53]
[]
*'''Takao:''' ''Nothing like bloodshed to warm the soul. And some tasty sake.''
[]
*'''Woman:''' ''Your first fight is against Lady Masago? You may as well leave now.''
[]
*'''Man:''' ''Lady Masago's naginata has reach. Bide your time, then strike!''
[]
*'''Lady Masago:''' ''Unkai gave me purpose. No one will take that from me.''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''It's a match! Lady Masago is no more! Victory to Yasuke the Giant!''
[]
*'''Byakko:''' ''Back to work. Clean this up!''
[]
*'''Takao:''' ''You could lend a hand, you know.''
[]
*'''Byakko:''' ''Where did you find your challenger?''
*'''Gyoji:''' ''You have your secrets, I have mine. Keep your head down. We are not free yet.''
[]
*'''Man:''' ''Lord Suguru's blade tears through flesh. Like a knife through water. The sharpest I have ever seen.''
[]
*'''Kitsune:''' ''Tea, Lord Hokuto? Or something stronger?''
*'''Lord Hokuto:''' ''Bring me your finest umeshu.''
[]
*'''Lord Suguru:''' ''Look upon my blade, and see your death staring back.''
[]
*'''Lord Suguru:''' ''Bask in my blade's glory.''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''It's a match! Lord Suguru is sheathed! Victory to Yasuke the Giant!''
[]
*'''Takao:''' ''Clean fast, clean fast!''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''Still have your doubts?''
*'''Byakko:''' ''In you? Yes. In the new challenger? Time will tell.''
*'''Gyoji:''' ''That is the question. For all our sakes.''
[]
*'''Kitsune:''' ''Are you thirsty, Lady O-Sen?''
*'''Lady O-Sen:''' ''Get out of my sight, you little beast.''
[]
*'''Man:''' ''I lost mon betting on Lord Suguru, I'm glad to see him gone. Let's hope Lord Hokuto fares better.''
[]
*'''Man:''' ''To survive Lord Hokuto, stay out of his reach. Or it'll be your last mistake.''
[]
*'''Lord Hokuto:''' ''Look upon me and be crushed.''
[]
*'''Lord Hokuto:''' ''You won't like how this ends.''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''It's a match! Lord Hokuto has been toppled! Victory to Yasuke the Giant!''
[]
*'''Takao:''' ''How am I supposed to move him? He's huge!''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''For a moment there, I was worried.''
*'''Byakko:''' ''The giant one is impressive. I might even place a bet on him.''
[]
*'''Woman:''' ''You fight Lady O-Sen next? Well... you had a good streak.''
[]
*'''Kitsune:''' ''This is the best tea I've ever made. It will calm your nerves!''
*'''Lady O-Sen:''' ''Nerves? Fine.''
[]
*'''Man:''' ''Lady O-Sen will poison you the first chance she gets. Be prepared!''
[]
*'''Lady O-Sen:''' ''Taste the poison of my blades.''
[]
*'''Lady O-Sen:''' ''Embrace death.''
[]
*'''Lady O-Sen:''' [roars]
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''It's a match! O-Sen has poisoned her last foe!Victory to Yasuke the Giant!''
[]
*'''Takao:''' ''Careful! Poison may still be on the blades.''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''It all comes down to this.''
*'''Byakko:''' ''We've been here before. Or have you forgotten?''
*'''Gyoji:''' ''We must have faith in our fighter. I can feel it.''
[]
*'''Man:''' ''Next, you face Lord Unkai. Do anything you can to stop him from drinking. The more drunk, the more fearsome!''
[]
*'''Lord Unkai:''' ''Finally. A worthy foe.''
[]
*'''Lord Unkai:''' ''I give my opponents a fair fight. Do you?''
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''I – I can't believe it! It's a match!'' (laughs) ''You did it! Lord Unkai is defeated! Victory to Yasuke the Giant. Our new champion!''
[16:17-17:20][63]
[]
*'''Gyoji:''' ''Trust that I will find you when the next challenger comes.''


====Story: The Doge====
===Yamabushi Imposters===
In Venice, the Doge is the first magistrate of the republics of Venice and Genoa. He is elected for life. From the ''Palazzo Ducale'', he leads the armies, presides over the Senate, can declare war and sign peace. He is responsible for the Council of Ten, an assembly made up of the lords of the most powerful Venetian families.
These stranger men disguise themselves as itinerant mountain monks in order to commit brutal acts of violence.


The current Doge, elected in 1501, is Leonardo Loredan. He is a cultured merchant and a fine politician.
[]
*'''Genpaku:''' ''Step no closer, stranger. I am no imposter.''
[00:20-01:20][60]
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This camp looks abandoned. I wonder where the person went.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' (grunts) ''What is that stench?''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''So many. And all men.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''A dead Yamabushi. But wearing... bits of armor? One of the impostors, I am sure.''
[]
{{IUNote|Title=Letter on the Corpse of a Strange Yamabushi|Text=Sir,<br><br>My numbers climb quickly! If I maintain the vigor and precision of my hunts, I will soon surpass my brothers in bloodshed. The silent mountain stalker and even that fiend in Iga will finally be second to me!<br><br>I hope you continue tallying the score, sir, and that you've abandoned your foolish guilt. Turning yourself to stone serves no one, certainly not Lord Nobunaga.<br><br>I will leave this letter for you near the shrine in Mibuno Vale. But before that, one last kill for my count; a beautiful woman calls out to me from atop the mountain. I'll kill slowly and with great pleasure.<br><br>(In the margins, there are 29 small marks.)}}
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Looks like he had a letter on him. "Brothers in bloodshed." Words of a warrior, not a monk. And these marks... Ominous.''
[]
*'''Woman:''' ''I don't want to get any closer. A body in the water like that? It will stink.''
*'''Woman 2:''' ''Don't you want to know what happened?''
*'''Woman:''' ''And end up like him? Dead in a river?''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''A corpse from upstream.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''That man dresses like a mountain monk... ...but he walks like a soldier. An imposter Yamabushi.''
[]
*'''River Yamabushi:''' ''Ah, I recognize you, brother. Leave me to my mission, then.''
[]
*'''Yamabushi:''' ''Help! An attacker!''
[]
*'''Forest Yamabushi:''' [laughs] ''Saw through my tricks, did you?''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What has made you stoop so low?''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Something is off about that Yamabushi. He is not lost in meditation but... watching and waiting. As if stalking prey. An imposter, perhaps. Like Genpaku said.''
[]
*'''Village Yamabushi:''' ''Nomaku sanmanda bodanan baku... nomaku sanmanda bodanan baku... Save me from Hell.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''That Yamabushi. He has barely moved a muscle. But something in his meditation does not seem right. Is he ill? And what is all that clutter around him? I should keep looking around.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This armor... it belongs to a high ranking soldier. And with Lord Nobunaga's crest, too. But it has clearly been set aside for some time. This is not the first time Lord Nobunaga's name has come up either.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''So many letters. Reports, I suppose. One writer says he "hunts travelers, walking along their pilgrimage routes." And here, another says he is "haunting the mountains of Kii." And all the marks in the margins. So many lives lost to these fake Yamabushi.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''A cooking pot, but no food. Only bark and pine needles. And... the smell of bitter tea and resin.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''The imposter... turned ascetic.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I was sent to kill this man. But clearly, this one knows the wrong he has done.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''He is set on his path and will die eventually.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''A traveling Yamabushi... With a weapon? He is one of the imposters I've been searching for.''
*'''Yamabushi:''' ''Come! Join my list of death!''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''Another victim of this imposter.''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''More bodies. The people deserve better.''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''Looks like I'm not the only one on the trail today.''
*'''Clifftop Yamabushi:''' ''Takes a lot to get all the way up here. I'll hang your corpse somewhere special. For Lord Nobunaga! Death to Igans and all and all and all!''
*'''Naoe:''' ''What?''
*'''Clifftop Yamabushi:''' ''Die!''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''That man was deranged. How long has he been out here, hunting people? How long has he been alone? And he said, "For Lord Nobunaga." Another Yamabushi imposter with that name on his breath.''
[]
{{IUNote|Title=Letter Found on a Yamabushi Imposter|Text=Sir,<br><br>That sneaky bastard ran me off my hunting grounds along the path to Nyu-Daimyojin Shrine, but I've found a new area and I'm going strong. People are easy to kill when distracted.<br><br>I will not abandom my mission, sir. Never. Never. Never.<br><br>For Lord Nobunaga.<br><br>(Below the note text, there are 17 rough-drawn slash marks.)}}
*'''Naoe:''' ''An unsent message. And these slash marks at the bottom. Counting kills of innocents like it were sport.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''That looks like a Yamabushi. But no true mountain monk would threaten civilians. He must be an imposter, just like Genpaku said.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''It is over. I should return to Genpaku and let him know the imposters have been dispatched.''

====Salaì====
===The Pirate Alliance===
Gian Giacomo Caprotti da Oreno, born in 1480, is the most famous of Leonardo da Vinci's apprentices. He maintains an ambiguous relationship with the ''Maestro'', made of a deep friendship, but also of some mischief due to the young apprentice's passion for gambling.
Danger lurks along the coasts of Wakasa, leaving despair in its wake. Someone needs to put an end to the trail of destruction.


A few years ago, this passion almost cost the Assassins dearly when Salaì failed to keep track of his mission: Protect Leonardo. Fortunately his courage, his insight and some decisive help from Ezio allowed the Assassins to find the ''Maestro'' safe and sound.

[]
*'''Lopo Cruz:''' ''What do you think, Ishi? And you, Roku? I know. Samemaru's men have shit for brains, but they have the brawn. We must obtain the treasure. I agree Little Kappa is too crazy. He doesn't care about riches, only blowing things up.'' (sighs) ''All right. Meeting ajourned! I am glad we had this council, friends. Trusted comrades are hard to find!''

*'''Jesuit priest:''' ''I... did not see him, but the villagers called him Sen.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''Thank you.''

*'''Man:''' ''Hmm. I saw Sen throw something in the water. Could that be it?''

Salaì would do just about anything for Leonardo da Vinci, and the feeling is probably mutual.
===The Winter Raiders===
In winter, several villages and important roads in Japan are under attack by a veteran military unit gone rogue, trained in the art of sabotage. They vanish for the rest of the year, but the memories of their vile acts linger.


====Leonardo da Vinci====
[]
Leonardo da Vinci, aged 57 in 1509, is one of those rare people who are gifted in all they choose to do. His first meeting with Ezio was more than thirty years ago and Ezio still carries the hidden blade that the genius repaired and upgraded for him.
*'''Rin:''' ''Warrior! You're the toughest I have seen today by quite a measure.''
*'''Samurai duelist:''' (scoffs)
*'''Rin:''' ''Don't walk away! We need your help. Will you listen to me?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I heard you. Loud and clear, miss.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Oh, yes. Come with me? I will explain.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What is the trouble?''
*'''Rin:''' ''A group of dangerous raiders target our village and nearby areas. They steal all they can, and kill anyone in their way. I'm taking you to our elder.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Are they bandits?''
*'''Rin:''' ''If only. They are much stronger. They were once trained soldiers.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''So they prey on the defenseless. That will not do.''
*'''Rin:''' ''I was hoping you'd say that. I was hoping for a mighty samurai to fight for us. I'm glad to have met you.''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Speak with the elder. I do hope you'll decide to help us.''
[01:52-02:50][58]
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Excuse me, samurai. Can you spare me one more moment?''
[03:04-03:54][50]
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''You survived. If you had stayed, you would not have.''
[04:27-05:07][40]
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''Go, teach her. I think it would do you both some good.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''If you say so.''
[]
*'''Sobei:''' ''You! You killed my Akumu. Hired by the Elder, weren't you.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Hmm. Information about the Winter Raiders. And something about the Gobo elder. I wonder why they have a grudge against him.''
[]
*'''Yasha:''' ''You took Sobei, so I will take your head!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What is done is done. The Raiders will terrorize the people no more. I must have a word with the elder.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This note could help me find the rest of those Winter Raiders. It sounds like someone has betrayed them.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''The elder's notes mentioned that house. I should investigate it.''
[]
{{IUNote|Title=Note from Yasha's Contact|Text=Hello, old fool. Your hounds are coming for me, but you are not. Coward. Pretending to hold power over Kawakami, what we built together by that river in northern Yoshino. Death will take you too. Perhaps even sooner than you think.}}
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This note suggests a connection with one of the Raiders. As the elder suspected.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This is the village referred to in the supplier's note.''
[]
*'''Yasha:''' ''It's just ink. A brush. Why is this so hard to master?''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Hmm. This letter. It says the Winter Raiders were once hired to protect. What went wrong?''
[]
*'''Sobei:''' ''Insolence. Defiance. This is what happens when Sobei is crossed. All who oppose me will suffer the same fate.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This letter contains information that can be useful. More about those Winter Raiders and their whereabouts.''
[]
*'''Takahara deserter 1:''' ''I'm not going back to Takahara. I'm still haunted by what happened last winter.''
*'''Takahara deserter 2:''' ''We weren't careful enough. We should have known that fire meant the raiders camped in the woods.''

[]
*'''Akumu:''' ''Very good. It seems you heeded our lessons, recruit. Why do we strike at winter?''

[]
*'''Outlaw thug:''' ''Enough of your whining.''
*'''Buddhist monk:''' ''Someone! Help me!''

*'''Buddhist monk:''' ''Those men ambushed me north of Kumano Hayatama Taisha Shrine. If you have sense, you will stay far from there.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Hmm, something seems off.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This note could help me find the rest of those Winter Raiders. It sounds like someone has betrayed them.''
[]
*'''Jinbei:''' ''The elder's newest fool. You killed Akumu and Sobei.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What's done is done. The Raiders will terrorize the people no more. I must have a word with the elder.''
[]
*'''Gobo elder:''' ''The Raiders. Are they...''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''You knew they were soldiers. They once protected you. And for reasons I do not understand, you banished them.''
*'''Gobo elder:''' ''One must make difficult decisions at times. You should understand this.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Your choices, your actions, created enemies. You, elder, are culpable for all their bloodshed.''
*'''Gobo elder:''' ''And you are responsible for their end. The matter is resolved.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I need nothing from a remorseless old fool.''
*'''Gobo elder:''' ''As you wish.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Your people may be free, but until they are free of your "leadership," know that I will be watching.''
*'''Gobo elder:''' ''Fine. Now begone. What's done is done. Get out of my sight.''


As a staunch ally, Leonardo enabled the Assassins to technologically surpass their Templar enemies thanks to numerous inventions, including the flying machine.
===The Hunters of Kyonyo===
A group of bounty hunters spread across Kii are targeting Kyonyo.


The ''Maestro'', as we sometimes call him, has the habit of appearing without warning, whether in Rome, Florence or where he is now, Venice.
[00:16-01:20][64]

[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Bodies. Monks and bandits.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This confirms a plot to kill Kyonyo. The attackers will regroup after, at Yunomine Onsen.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This is where Kyonyo's ambushers planned to meet. I should stay hidden and see if any are here.''
[]
*'''Inumaru:''' ''I almost had Kyonyo. It's Kamakichi's fault! Busy playing spy games in that decrepit town in Saika. Kyonyo was on the tip of my katana. Another inch, he'd be dead. And I'd be rich. Kamakichi's going to regret this. Same goes for you, all of you, if this gets back to him!''

{{IUNote|Title=Journal Entry Three|Text=I heard Kyonyo's father hired someone to locate his son. Whoever they are, they will be to late to interfere. I'm so close, I can smell the promised reward.}}

*'''Yasuke:''' ''That man looks like he's on the watch. It must be Kamakichi.''
[]
*'''Saika guard:''' ''No, I saw him. Kyonyo. Dangerous people look for him. Maybe they will come to Saika.''

*'''Yasuke:''' ''I am here on behalf of our ally, Naoe, and your father. He said you are being hunted.''
*'''Kyonyo:''' ''I thought he had other priorities. I can handle these bounty hunters.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Your injuries suggest otherwise. They will not rest until you are dead. Or until I deal with them.''
*'''Kyonyo:''' (sighs) ''I cannot afford to be choosy about the help I accept. Not until I'm ready to fight back. I'm... grateful for your aid. Here. This is all I know about the men hunting me. I'd know more, but my contact in Koyasan has gone quiet. If you could check on him, I'd be grateful.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I will.''
*'''Kyonyo:''' ''As for me, I'll be moving on. I have to assume my enemies may know I'm here. Meet me in Kumano Sanzan, and when the time is right, we will end the leader. Together.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Stay safe.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''The information Kyonyo shared mentioned this place. One of the bounty hunters is thought to be based here.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What is that noise?''
[]
*'''Shishi-o:''' ''Your silence only prolongs our suffering. Where is Kyonyo?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Surely he is one of Kyonyo's hunters.''

*'''Yasuke:''' ''Shishi-o shared a close bond with the leader of these bounty hunters.''
[]
*'''Guard:''' ''I'm so sorry, Tenchi. I should have been here.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What happened?''
*'''Guard:''' ''The temple's head monk asked me and Tenchi to pick up some papers. Didn't need the two of us, we thought. So Tenchi went to the monk's quarters. Alone. I stopped for a drink. Tenchi was taking so long... I headed over and heard a noise coming from the backyard. It was so dark, but I saw someone running. Must've been whoever killed my friend.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Sounds like the killer was looking for the head monk. Where can I find him?''
*'''Guard:''' ''He should still be at the Monks' District.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Are you the head monk here?''
*'''Head monk:''' ''Tell me who sent you. Before I call the guards.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I am Yasuke. Kyonyo sent me. He has been expecting an update from you. And based on the dead man near your quarters, you are the next target.''
*'''Head monk:''' ''I feared I was being targeted. Now we know for sure. If you help me, we can set a trap.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''What do you have in mind?''
*'''Head monk:''' ''The building behind me is our best hope. I'll dismiss the guards. Draw him out. Extinguish all the lights. And we'll have our best chance.''
[]
*'''Head monk:''' ''Come. Follow me.''
[]
*'''Head monk:''' ''All of you. Gather around. I need your assistance.''

[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I think that is the last of them. I will tell Kyonyo his immediate threats are dealt with.''

[17:14-18:27][13]

====Story: Niccolò di Pitigliano (a.k.a. Niccolò di Orsini)====
*'''XXXX:''' ''XXXXXX''
Niccolò Orsini di Pitigliano (1442 - 1510) was a Leader of Italian mercenaries. He was the Captain-General of the Venetians during the war against the Cambrai league.


====Niccolò Machiavelli====
===A Puzzlement===
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli, born in 1469, is a Florentine with many talents. Philosopher, politician and member of the Brotherhood of Assassins since he was 19, Niccolò is one of those who allowed Ezio to join the Brotherhood. He is a powerful enemy of the Borgias and has helped Ezio dismantle one of their bases in Rome. He faithfully supports Ezio in all circumstances, despite the apparent discord between the two men. It was probably at his request that Niccolò temporarily left his native Florence to lend a hand once again to the Assassins in Rome.
Two bickering men are on the brink of discovery - a discovery they think will make them rich.


His political visions will have to wait a few more years before being written down on paper in his famous book: The Prince.

====Bocca di Leone====
===Teach a Dog New Kicks===
The ''Bocca di Leone'' ("Lion's Mouth") were boxes made for denunciation. They often bore the shape of a human or animal mouth. Some were dedicated to various types of accusations: Concealment of income, favors, misdemeanors linked to public health, etc.
Yasuke has some skills to pass on to Kane and Kinu in hopes of training them.


Denunciations could not be completely anonymous (except in case of emergency) and were processed according to a sophisticated investigation system. The lion sometimes appeared on the boxes as a reference to the Lion of Venice, emblem of the Republic.

*'''Naoe:''' ''All right, let's start.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Now, when your weapon is occupied, you must rely on the strength of your own body. At times, a strong kick will do the job. Not only does it keep enemies from your vital core, but kick hard enough, and they will take flight.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Brace your stomach.''
[]
*'''Kinu:''' ''Oof.'' (whimpers)
[]
*'''Kane:''' ''I've been wanting to do that to him for years. Let me try!''

====Pieces of Eden====
===Headucation===
The Assassins know the secrets of a civilization that existed long before humanity. lts members were known under the names Isus, Precursors or First Civilization. Some elements of their technology have endured, such as the Pieces of Eden. As rare as they are powerful, they have been used repeatedly to influence the course of humankind's history.
It's Naoe's turn to help train Kinu and Kane - and she's determined to have some fun.


The Assassins are trying by all means to prevent Templars from finding and using the fragments.
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''It is a new day. I hope that Kinu and Kane are feeling better.''
[]
*'''Kinu:''' ''Please don't embarass me in front of miss Naoe.''

[]
*'''Kane:''' ''We've kicked, we've choked. What else is there?''
*'''Naoe:''' ''I'm sure you're right. That must have thought you everything.''
*'''Kane:''' ''So we're ready for the final test then!''
*'''Kinu:''' ''You won't be disappointed, miss Naoe. Meet us here tomorrow. I need to lie down. Immediately.''

====Staves of Eden====
===Battle of the Bests===
Among the Pieces of Eden, the Staves were created to take control of the body and mind of humans. Used properly, they are an extremely powerful instrument of control, which can be used for good or evil.
The time has come to see all the skills that Kinu and Kane have learned. Will they be invited to join the Kakushiba ikki?


Doubt remains as to whether their extraordinary powers, such as levitation or invisibility, are real or are simply illusions.
*'''Kane:''' ''This is it, Kinu. You wanna stop sleeping on the rocks? Get away from the macaques? That happens today. If... you don't mess it up.''
*'''Kinu:''' (gulps)
[]
*'''Kane:''' ''To perform in front of you... it is an honor.''

[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''I'm thinking it.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''They have charisma?''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''I thought they were bad, but turns out they're just stupid. And stupidity is not a crime.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''But it should be''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''We know Tomiko could use a hand. She hates mucking the horse stalls.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''They could handle that.''

*'''Naoe:''' ''All right, legendary samurai. Let's duel.''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' ''You're not bad at this fighting thing.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Lord Nobunaga did not keep me around just to play Go.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''That explains why Junjiro always wins your games.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I often let the disadvantaged win. You may see that yourself today!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' (yawns)
*'''Naoe:''' ''Don't start.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Then wake me up!''
[]
*'''Naoe:''' (grunts)
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Are you all right down there?''

====The Lion of Venice====
=Typing=
The famous Lion of Venice is none other than a representation of Saint Mark, decorated with wings inspired by the Bible. When its fore paws are crossed, one rests on the ground and the other on the water, symbolizing the balance of Venetian powers between land and water. When depicted with a book, it symbolizes peace, whereas it is sometimes holding a sword during periods of armed conflict.

====Welcome to the Animus====
;Yamabushi Imposters
The Animus was originally a technological project of Abstergo Industries, a facade for the Order of the Templars. Thanks to a DNA fragment, it allows the person who is connected to explore and relive the memories of their ancestors - their Genetic Memories.
[00:20-01:20][60]
[18:57-19:50][53]


Improved over time, used by both Assassins and Templars, the latest versions of the Animus are no longer dependent on the user's DNA and allow anyone to explore the memories of a subject as long as they have their DNA.
;The Pirate Alliance
[10:48-11:30][42]
[36:28-37:21][53]


The newest versions of the Animus, HR-8 and HR-8.5, developed under the supervision of Sophia Rikkin and Layla Hassan, are now portable and do away with the need to use a DNA sample. The Memory only needs to be saved in order to share it with others.
;The Hunters of Kyonyo
[24:10-25:01][51]
[17:14-18:27][73]


However, it happens that the Animus experiences some failures when displaying the Memories. These are the glitches that Assassins sometimes fear.

It is rumored that some of these glitches may have been intentionally introduced into the Animus code by the Templars...

====Lucrezia Borgia====
===l30===
Lucrezia Borgia, from a famous family of Templars, is cruel and merciless, just like her brother Cesare. Her use of excessive violence and her poisonings are almost legendary.
;A Puzzlement
[06:09-06:30][21]


Bold and independent, she defied social conventions by entertaining many romantic relationships during her numerous marriages. The few people who have really known her have been able to recognize the fragility beneath her arrogance and violence, no doubt linked to her family's turbulent history.
;The Lesson
[12:52-13:17][25]
[19:08-19:30][22]


During her two encounters with Ezio, they both tried to take advantage of the situation by playing the muddle game of seduction. She is still mad with rage at having let herself be taken in by her own game. She ruminates on a revenge that will certainly be terrible.

[02:18-02:43][25]
[03:52-04:20][28]


====Shaun Hastings====
;Headucation
Cynical, sarcastic and self-confident, Shaun works for the Brotherhood as a historian and analyst. His knowledge is a valuable source of information for modern Assassins who are looking for Pieces of Eden and other First Civilization resources from the memories of various historical figures. Shaun offers precious help to people who visualize their genetic memories through the Animus. He creates databases for the Assassins by analyzing people, locations and eras from historical experiences.
[02:07-02:28][21]
[02:53-03:15][22]
[03:46-04:13][27]


With Rebecca Crane, Desmond Miles and William Miles, Shaun was na essential member of the Assassins team who located an Apple of Eden and then the Great Temple in 2012, which changed the course of the conflict between Assassins and Templars.
===l40===
;The Lesson
[14:09-14:49][40]
[24:06-24:46][40]
*'''Meiran:''' (breathes)
*'''Naoe:''' ''The legend was true.''
*'''Meiran:''' ''Unfortunately for them. They heard the legend and believed they'd claim pounds of silver from a legend well past his prime.''
*'''Naoe:''' ''So, you were trying to lose them in the woods.''
*'''Meiran:''' ''I hoped they would give up the chase. Alas...''
[]
*'''XXXXX:''' ''XXXXX''


After perilous missions to London and Madrid, Shaun seems to have disappeared. Rumors of his reappearance were true!
;A Puzzlement
[02:49-03:23][34]


====Automatons**====
===o40===
When Leonardo da Vinci was forced to create war machines for the Borgias in 1499, his creative genius took over and he invented a whole system of combat automatons - it was still theoretical at that time - that can be set up in advance so that they travel a certain distance before setting off the bomb they are harboring.
;The Lesson
[09:43-10:30][47]


Overcome by remorse, he managed to hide his blueprints, but the Borgias were finally able to get their hands on them and turned them over to the Favero, who managed to finalize them. Fortunately, the Brotherhood also managed to create working prototypes thanks to Leonardo.
;A Puzzlement
 
[01:07-02:18][71]
====The Crows**====
This small group of fierce Templars aims to fight the Assassins with their own methods.
 
Trained like true counter-Assassins, the Crows are specialists in disguise, infiltration and, of course, assassination. They all wear clothes and accessories that evoke their favorite animal, the crow. Moreover their former leader, Sirus Favero, was nicknamed ''il corvo'' (the raven). In an attempt to preserve their anonymity, they use the names of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
 
The Assassins will have to face the four Crows led by Cesare Borgia including the formidable Matteo Favero, son of the historic leader of the Crows.
 
====Abstergo Industries***====
This megacorporation, created in 1937, is the result of a strategy of the Order of the Temple to sustainably transform the world and make it conform to the values and visions of the Templars.
 
Today, it is a sprawling conglomerate that extends its sinister wings over sectors as varied as medical, pharmaceutical or video game industries.
 
Abstergo is the inventor of the Animus.

===HQ 3===
====Clean Sweep====
Let's start by making a clean sweep: Let's equip ourselves and go hunt the rascals who prowl around our Headquarters.
 
====For Claudia====
Templars have targeted Claudia. We must make a diversion so she can go to the Brotherhood's Headquarters on Tiber Island.
 
====Trap?====
A shady character dressed in animal skins wants to meet up with you in the slums.
*Do not go.
*Go there: [continuation reversal]
 
====Reversal====
A follower of Romulus! He does not forgive the Templars for despising his own. If we offer him sufficient guarantees, he could join our ranks.
*Convince him
 
====Still For Claudia!====
Claudia needs a safe conduct to clear the guards. Our thieves are going to steal one from the Templars.
 
====The Biter Bit...====
The Templars' safe conduct actually belongs to the Pope! We have to give it back without attracting attention...
 
====Tank 2.0====
Leonardo da Vinci needs raw materials to improve his new tank model.
*Do nothing
*Find the materials [get tank token]
 
====You Will Be a Man...====
Ezio has found a letter from his father that mentions a secret library. We must have it authenticated by his sister Claudia.
 
====My Dear Brother...====
The letter is authentic! It was written by Giovanni, Ezio's father, and mentions the existence of a secret library in the fortress of Masyaf. The fortress could hold invaluable secrets for the Brotherhood. Ezio decides to go to Masyaf, leaving the reins of the Brotherhood to his sister Claudia.
 
====Farewell Ezio====
The transfer of power between Ezio and Claudia will soon take place. We are responsible for security during the ceremony.

[]

  • Naoe: These objects are blunt. Brutal. Who used them?

[]

  • Naoe: Yasuke would love this naginata. He has nothing like it.

[]

  • Naoe: Where did these come from? They definitely weren't made here.

[]

  • Naoe: Look at this tanto! Amazing. It's coming with me.

[]

  • Naoe: Look at this bronze. What would Heiji think of it?

[]

Beware, Seeker

The light that guards this cave is not of this world. It's born of a flame that can't be extinguished... not easily, anyway. If you've come seeking treasure, I've left some things behind. Take them, and forget about this place.
If you've come seeking answers, be careful. The light listens. It bends the mind, and it does not forgive. Such places were never meant for mortals. Trust me.

- Your friend, Kassandra.
  • Naoe: This Kassandra... she's powerful.

[]

  • Kassandra: Farewell, seeker.
  • Naoe: What is this? I know I heard her, but... am I going mad?
Blade of Yumminess

[]

Blade of Yumminess Clue

Beneath the watch of Akaiwa, the earth hides what a greedy eye cannot claim. Where the eagle's shadow meets the rising sun, seek stone hidden from wind and from rain.

[]

Guard of Yumminess Clue

Where stars watch over Yuasa, seek beneath the pilgrim's path. Past shrine laterns guarding dusk lies a stone neither prayed nor seen.

[]

Handle of Yumminess Clue

Below the gaze of Onyu Pass, waters conceal a treasure for the fearless. Seek the pool where sunlight never goes and shadows drift deep.

[]

Saya of Yumminess Clue

Where knowing walls stand older than memory and glyphs shimmer with power, fate hides the way. A sequence opens a doorway for those who seek truth.

[]

  • Yasuke: Hmm. This blade sure feels like a powerful one. And I taste something... legendary.


Pagemaking[edit | edit source]

Transcription[edit | edit source]

End of the Line (Shadows)[edit | edit source]

[]

  • Yasuke: Caro. You are near. Can you feel it? It is the sins of your past, given form.

[]

  • Nuno Caro: So. She helped him.
  • Portuguese swordsman: Yes, senhor. It was a bloodbath, and she was nowhere to be found.
  • Caro: Didn't expect the giant to be the one that gave her a voice. Like a wagon following the donkey.

[]

  • Caro: Speak of the devil.

[]

  • Yasuke: You will answer for what you did.
  • Nuno Caro: You speak as if we know each other personally.
  • Yasuke: We do.

[]

  • Yasuke's mother: [breathes]

[]

  • Yasuke's mother: (grunts)
  • Yasuke: It's all right, mama.

[]

  • Duarte de Melo: [grunts]

[]

  • Duarte: Senhor Caro.

[]

  • Duarte: [laughs]

[]

  • Nuno Caro: Who sent you?
  • Yasuke: No-no one, senhor Caro. No one.

[]

  • Yasuke's mother: (cries)
  • Yasuke: Please! W-we saw nothing! We saw nothing!

[]

  • Yasuke: (screams) Mother! (cries) Mama...

[]

  • Caro: Is of your own choosing.

[]

  • Portuguese soldier: Intruder!

[]

  • Yasuke: Mama...

[]

  • Assassin: Go!

[]

  • Caro: Diogo?
  • Yasuke: Yasuke.

[]

  • Nuno Caro: It was necessary. I had to set an example to the others. Your mother's death taught everyone how I felt about insubordination. Everyone except you, it seems.

[]

  • Yasuke: It is uncommon for a corpse to talk this much.
  • Caro: So, what do you want, Diogo? Revenge? It will get you nothing, I'm afraid. We have the regalia already.
  • Yasuke: Not for long. We will make sure of it.
  • Caro: "We?" Diogo. I was sent here because no one else in my organization cared enough. And look what I accomplished. Look around you, Diogo. Everything you see here is mine. This land, its resources, its people. You should understand that better than anyone.

[]

  • Yasuke: Put a hundred, a thousand men between us, Caro... there is no difference. You are welcome to watch them all die.

[]

  • Caro: My friends. The bounty for escaped slaves will be honored today. But only dead.
  • Yasuke: Run. It will serve you no use.
  • Caro: Kill him so we can focus on what really matters!

[]

  • Caro: Kill him. Remind him of his place.

[]

  • Caro: There he is. Men, you will not fail me like the others. Do you hear me, Diogo? You cannot win.
  • Yasuke: I have hunted greater warriors than you.
  • Caro: (screams)
  • Yasuke: You cannot hide from me, Caro.
  • Caro: Diogo. You need to let it go, dear boy.

[]

  • Caro: Hah! Over here, Diogo.

[]

  • Caro: Stay away, Diogo! Let us settle this like civilized men.
  • Yasuke: You know nothing of civility.

[]

  • Caro: (screams)
  • Yasuke: You talk too much.

[]

  • Caro: Killing me won't bring your mother back, Diogo. Think!

[]

  • Caro: No more. You win, Diogo.

[]

  • Caro: (gasps) (pants) You win. Please, Diogo.

[]

  • Caro: (screams)

[]

  • Caro: (breathes)

[]

  • Yasuke: After you killed my mother, I kept my desire for vengeance in my heart. In the same place I once held thoughts of her. It kept me alive. Nourished me. To get to you today.
  • Caro: Then... it's yours. Vengeance. Not that it will bring her back.
  • Yasuke: It is no longer mere vengeance I want.
  • Caro: Then what is it? What is this all about?
  • Yasuke: A declaration of war. Against the Templar Order.
  • Caro: You are serious? My God, you're serious. What makes you think you can win?

[]

  • Yasuke: Because we are united in the defense of our home. This country... so shaken with strife. The people are victims to it. But together, they will be unstoppable. We will be unstoppable. We live by this code. And it is because of my league that I know what I must do.

[]

  • Caro: And what does killing me prove?
  • Yasuke: That no one is untouchable. That even you are just one blade of grass in a withering field. And when you die, no one will remember you. Your death will only ever be a message to your compatriots. One that says you should fear us.
  • Caro: We will hunt you down. My group will send everything at you.
  • Yasuke: After they find what is left of you, they may think twice. You may start praying now.

[]

  • Caro: This isn't over. It's the beginning, in fact. The beginning of your end.
  • Yasuke: It is done...
  • Caro: Declaring war on the Templars. A fool's errand. Goodbye, Diogo.

[]

  • Caro: (gurgles)

[]

  • Yasuke: My name...

[]

  • Yasuke: ... is Yasuke.

The Lesson[edit | edit source]

[09:43-10:30][47] []

  • Bandit: Ah! It's Meiran! Take him!
  • Meiran: Not these bandits again! They are the bane of my existence!
  • Bandit: You will never escape us!

[]

  • Naoe: My friend Junjiro is at the temple. I must go there in case more of these outlaws decide to attack.
  • Meiran: You go ahead. I will make my way there as fast as I can.
  • Naoe: Interesting.

[]

  • Junjiro: Over here!

[12:52-13:17][25] []

  • Meiran: [breathes]

[]

  • Monk: Finally, he is here.
  • Pilgrim: It is time for us to learn the ways of bojustsu.
  • Junjiro: (gasps)

[14:09-14:49][40] []

  • Yasuke: I do not trust him.
  • Naoe: Why don't you go. I will stay and see what his lessons are worth.

[]

  • Junjiro: (grunts)
  • Naoe: And keep an eye on Junjiro.
  • Junjiro: (grunts)
  • Yasuke: At least he looks like he will have some fun.
  • Naoe: Hmm...

[]

  • Student: Shall we fight together?
  • Naoe: Let's go.
  • Student: I will not hold back.

[]

  • Student 1: You fight well!

[]

  • Student: (breathes)
  • Naoe: Keep training and soon you will be a master of the bo, I am sure.

[]

  • Student 2: Hello?

[]

  • Student: Are you ready to spar?
  • Naoe: Yes. It is time.
  • Student: Good, good.

[]

  • Monk: Be gentle with me.

[]

  • Student: (breathes)
  • Naoe: You fight well for a novice.

[]

  • Naoe: Maybe Meiran can suggest another challenge.

[19:08-19:30][22] []

  • Meiran: Remember, young lady, you do not need to get in close. Better to strike from afar.

[]

  • Monk: Bandits! Bandits are attacking the temple!

[]

  • Naoe: I must defend the temple.
  • Monk: Meiran! They've come for your silver!
  • Bandit leader: Kill them all! Take their silver!

[]

  • Pilgrim: The bo master is unstoppable!

[]

  • Naoe: More of them.

[]

  • Naoe: [breathes]

[23:33-24:46][73] []

  • Meiran: It seems you have taken something from my lessons beyond mastery of bo combat. Now, excuse me. I must pray.
  • Naoe: They deserve your prayers.
  • Meiran: I don't pray for them. I pray for me.

The Yokai[edit | edit source]

Rumors of yokai plague these lands. A monk-turned-demon-hunter needs help to uncover the truth of these monstrous tales.

[00:14-01:25][71] []

  • Yasuke: Even as a child I never believed in ghost stories. People do much worse things than we can even imagine.

[]

  • Mamushi: I have heard all the stories. I investigated each and every one. And always, there is a logical explanation.

[]

  • Mamushi: I am old and tired. You are young and strong. I give the last of these rumors to you. Prove to yourself, and everyone else, there are no yokai!
  • Yasuke: I am no Yokai hunter, but if I come across any in my travels, you will be the first to know.
  • Mamushi: Come back when all the rumors of yokai are dead.

Taka Nyudo []

  • Taka Nyudo: (growls)
  • Chitose: Help!

[]

  • Chitose: Thank you. He was a monster. He had fire in his eyes.
  • Yasuke: Our eyes can play tricks when we fear for our lives.
  • Chitose: Fear opens eyes wide to see death up close.
  • Yasuke: Do you have somewhere safe to go?
  • Chitose: I've been following the wind, you see. It carries a name on its back. Mamushi...
  • Yasuke: Mamushi. I've been helping him disprove some myths.
  • Chitose: Fear surrounds him. Many tales of ghosts and demons. I have a tale of my own to tell him. Thank you for your kindness.

Oshiroi Baba []

  • Oshiroi Baba: [wails]

[]

  • Yasuke: That did not sound... human.

[]

  • Oshiroi Baba: [wails] Ichiro-o-o! You are dead... and now I am alone...

[]

  • Oshiroi Baba: [screams]

[]

  • Yasuke: Oshiroi Baba! I know nothing of Ichiro. I do not want to hurt you.
  • Obaba: (laughs) What did you call me? Oshiroi Baba? I am no yokai, you fool!
  • Yasuke: I do not think so. But everyone in the village does.
  • Obaba: Idiots! But now I see you clearly. You are not my husband's killer. He was much smaller.
  • Yasuke: Well, you're scaring the villagers. Go home and get some rest. Drink some tea.
  • Obaba: You are kind. I'm sorry I attacked you.

Yuki Onna []

  • Yasuke: Yuki-Onna, the snow woman. They say to kiss her icy lips is to know love one moment, and death the next.

[]

  • Woman: A visitor? You must be cold. Join me inside. Let me warm you.

[]

  • Yuki Onna: I don't want to fight. Come, have some tea instead.

[]

  • Yasuke: She was beautiful, but her heart was made of ice.

Suika no Bakemono []

  • Suika no Bakemono: Do not interfere, stranger. The fate of our melon harvest is about to be decided.
  • Yasuke: That depends on the sky and not the sword, does it not?
  • Suika no Bakemono: For generations the Suika family has waged battle with the Makuwauri melon clan. And for generations the harvest of the champion has prospered.
  • Yasuke: Both harvests cannot be prosperous?
  • Suika no Bakemono: Insanity! Which is your favorite? The delicious suika, or the mediocre makuwauri?
  • Yasuke: I enjoy the suika more. They are crisp and refreshing.
  • Suika no Bakemono: A very wise choice. And now, prepare to defend them with your life!

[]

  • Suika no Bakemono: You fought well! The title of "Melon Lord" goes to the suika!

[]

  • Yasuke: Definitely no yokai here. Just two farmers with a fiery passion for... melons.

Kappa []

  • Kappa Taku: (growls) Shirikodama! Hungry!
  • Kappa Rei: (growls) Closer! We are going to eat...
  • Yasuke: They look like Kappa. And they definitely smell like Kappa.
  • Kappa Taku: You'll never catch us. You're too slow and fat!
  • Kappa Rei: And when you get tired and fall, we're going to eat you for dinner.

[]

  • Girl: (yelps) Please don't hurt us! We made a deal with the thieves! We scare people away from their camp for food.
  • Yasuke: Just children. I actually believed you were Kappa! I feel foolish.

Daitengu []

  • Yasuke: Bird cries from a warrior. Could this be a Daitengu?

[]

  • Daitengu: (caws) Mortal wanderer. Do you seek honor in the clash of steel? Or do you flutter by like a leaf on the breeze? Do you see your reflection in my blade? Or do you wear a mask to protect your soul?

[]

  • Yasuke: I always wanted to cross blades with a Daitengu. This was just a man who talks like a bird.

Return to Mamushi [14:27-15:09][42] []

  • Chitose: I am spawned from the dread of mortals. Your fear makes me stronger.

[]

  • Yasuke: In the end... Mamushi was wrong. Yes. Yokai.

The Tournament (Shadows)[edit | edit source]

Naoe and Yasuke receive an invitation to a formidable and secret fighting arena in Yamato.

[00:15-01:07][52] []

  • Gyoji: [breathes] That is everything. Please consider my proposal.

[]

  • Yasuke: Sounds like I have found the fighting tournament. People here are quite... uninhibited.

[]

  • Gyoji: You came!

[]

  • Gyoji: It's a match! Victory to Lord Unkai!

[]

  • Lord Unkai: [scoffs] Gyoji!

[02:37-03:30][53] []

  • Takao: Nothing like bloodshed to warm the soul. And some tasty sake.

[]

  • Woman: Your first fight is against Lady Masago? You may as well leave now.

[]

  • Man: Lady Masago's naginata has reach. Bide your time, then strike!

[]

  • Lady Masago: Unkai gave me purpose. No one will take that from me.

[]

  • Gyoji: It's a match! Lady Masago is no more! Victory to Yasuke the Giant!

[]

  • Byakko: Back to work. Clean this up!

[]

  • Takao: You could lend a hand, you know.

[]

  • Byakko: Where did you find your challenger?
  • Gyoji: You have your secrets, I have mine. Keep your head down. We are not free yet.

[]

  • Man: Lord Suguru's blade tears through flesh. Like a knife through water. The sharpest I have ever seen.

[]

  • Kitsune: Tea, Lord Hokuto? Or something stronger?
  • Lord Hokuto: Bring me your finest umeshu.

[]

  • Lord Suguru: Look upon my blade, and see your death staring back.

[]

  • Lord Suguru: Bask in my blade's glory.

[]

  • Gyoji: It's a match! Lord Suguru is sheathed! Victory to Yasuke the Giant!

[]

  • Takao: Clean fast, clean fast!

[]

  • Gyoji: Still have your doubts?
  • Byakko: In you? Yes. In the new challenger? Time will tell.
  • Gyoji: That is the question. For all our sakes.

[]

  • Kitsune: Are you thirsty, Lady O-Sen?
  • Lady O-Sen: Get out of my sight, you little beast.

[]

  • Man: I lost mon betting on Lord Suguru, I'm glad to see him gone. Let's hope Lord Hokuto fares better.

[]

  • Man: To survive Lord Hokuto, stay out of his reach. Or it'll be your last mistake.

[]

  • Lord Hokuto: Look upon me and be crushed.

[]

  • Lord Hokuto: You won't like how this ends.

[]

  • Gyoji: It's a match! Lord Hokuto has been toppled! Victory to Yasuke the Giant!

[]

  • Takao: How am I supposed to move him? He's huge!

[]

  • Gyoji: For a moment there, I was worried.
  • Byakko: The giant one is impressive. I might even place a bet on him.

[]

  • Woman: You fight Lady O-Sen next? Well... you had a good streak.

[]

  • Kitsune: This is the best tea I've ever made. It will calm your nerves!
  • Lady O-Sen: Nerves? Fine.

[]

  • Man: Lady O-Sen will poison you the first chance she gets. Be prepared!

[]

  • Lady O-Sen: Taste the poison of my blades.

[]

  • Lady O-Sen: Embrace death.

[]

  • Lady O-Sen: [roars]

[]

  • Gyoji: It's a match! O-Sen has poisoned her last foe!Victory to Yasuke the Giant!

[]

  • Takao: Careful! Poison may still be on the blades.

[]

  • Gyoji: It all comes down to this.
  • Byakko: We've been here before. Or have you forgotten?
  • Gyoji: We must have faith in our fighter. I can feel it.

[]

  • Man: Next, you face Lord Unkai. Do anything you can to stop him from drinking. The more drunk, the more fearsome!

[]

  • Lord Unkai: Finally. A worthy foe.

[]

  • Lord Unkai: I give my opponents a fair fight. Do you?

[]

  • Gyoji: I – I can't believe it! It's a match! (laughs) You did it! Lord Unkai is defeated! Victory to Yasuke the Giant. Our new champion!

[16:17-17:20][63] []

  • Gyoji: Trust that I will find you when the next challenger comes.

Yamabushi Imposters[edit | edit source]

These stranger men disguise themselves as itinerant mountain monks in order to commit brutal acts of violence.

[]

  • Genpaku: Step no closer, stranger. I am no imposter.

[00:20-01:20][60] []

  • Yasuke: This camp looks abandoned. I wonder where the person went.

[]

  • Yasuke: (grunts) What is that stench?

[]

  • Yasuke: So many. And all men.

[]

  • Yasuke: A dead Yamabushi. But wearing... bits of armor? One of the impostors, I am sure.

[]

Letter on the Corpse of a Strange Yamabushi

Sir,

My numbers climb quickly! If I maintain the vigor and precision of my hunts, I will soon surpass my brothers in bloodshed. The silent mountain stalker and even that fiend in Iga will finally be second to me!

I hope you continue tallying the score, sir, and that you've abandoned your foolish guilt. Turning yourself to stone serves no one, certainly not Lord Nobunaga.

I will leave this letter for you near the shrine in Mibuno Vale. But before that, one last kill for my count; a beautiful woman calls out to me from atop the mountain. I'll kill slowly and with great pleasure.

(In the margins, there are 29 small marks.)
  • Yasuke: Looks like he had a letter on him. "Brothers in bloodshed." Words of a warrior, not a monk. And these marks... Ominous.

[]

  • Woman: I don't want to get any closer. A body in the water like that? It will stink.
  • Woman 2: Don't you want to know what happened?
  • Woman: And end up like him? Dead in a river?

[]

  • Yasuke: A corpse from upstream.

[]

  • Yasuke: That man dresses like a mountain monk... ...but he walks like a soldier. An imposter Yamabushi.

[]

  • River Yamabushi: Ah, I recognize you, brother. Leave me to my mission, then.

[]

  • Yamabushi: Help! An attacker!

[]

  • Forest Yamabushi: [laughs] Saw through my tricks, did you?

[]

  • Yasuke: What has made you stoop so low?

[]

  • Yasuke: Something is off about that Yamabushi. He is not lost in meditation but... watching and waiting. As if stalking prey. An imposter, perhaps. Like Genpaku said.

[]

  • Village Yamabushi: Nomaku sanmanda bodanan baku... nomaku sanmanda bodanan baku... Save me from Hell.
  • Yasuke: That Yamabushi. He has barely moved a muscle. But something in his meditation does not seem right. Is he ill? And what is all that clutter around him? I should keep looking around.

[]

  • Yasuke: This armor... it belongs to a high ranking soldier. And with Lord Nobunaga's crest, too. But it has clearly been set aside for some time. This is not the first time Lord Nobunaga's name has come up either.

[]

  • Yasuke: So many letters. Reports, I suppose. One writer says he "hunts travelers, walking along their pilgrimage routes." And here, another says he is "haunting the mountains of Kii." And all the marks in the margins. So many lives lost to these fake Yamabushi.

[]

  • Yasuke: A cooking pot, but no food. Only bark and pine needles. And... the smell of bitter tea and resin.

[]

  • Yasuke: The imposter... turned ascetic.

[]

  • Yasuke: I was sent to kill this man. But clearly, this one knows the wrong he has done.

[]

  • Yasuke: He is set on his path and will die eventually.

[]

  • Yasuke: A traveling Yamabushi... With a weapon? He is one of the imposters I've been searching for.
  • Yamabushi: Come! Join my list of death!

[]

  • Naoe: Another victim of this imposter.

[]

  • Naoe: More bodies. The people deserve better.

[]

  • Naoe: Looks like I'm not the only one on the trail today.
  • Clifftop Yamabushi: Takes a lot to get all the way up here. I'll hang your corpse somewhere special. For Lord Nobunaga! Death to Igans and all and all and all!
  • Naoe: What?
  • Clifftop Yamabushi: Die!

[]

  • Naoe: That man was deranged. How long has he been out here, hunting people? How long has he been alone? And he said, "For Lord Nobunaga." Another Yamabushi imposter with that name on his breath.

[]

Letter Found on a Yamabushi Imposter

Sir,

That sneaky bastard ran me off my hunting grounds along the path to Nyu-Daimyojin Shrine, but I've found a new area and I'm going strong. People are easy to kill when distracted.

I will not abandom my mission, sir. Never. Never. Never.

For Lord Nobunaga.

(Below the note text, there are 17 rough-drawn slash marks.)
  • Naoe: An unsent message. And these slash marks at the bottom. Counting kills of innocents like it were sport.

[]

  • Yasuke: That looks like a Yamabushi. But no true mountain monk would threaten civilians. He must be an imposter, just like Genpaku said.

[]

  • Yasuke: It is over. I should return to Genpaku and let him know the imposters have been dispatched.

[18:57-19:50][53]

The Pirate Alliance[edit | edit source]

Danger lurks along the coasts of Wakasa, leaving despair in its wake. Someone needs to put an end to the trail of destruction.

[]

  • Kage: Big brother Samemaru, I'm sorry. I am failing! I do not want to fail!

[]

  • Naoe: Someone is on that ship. Who is he talking to?

[]

  • Lopo Cruz: What do you think, Ishi? And you, Roku? I know. Samemaru's men have shit for brains, but they have the brawn. We must obtain the treasure. I agree Little Kappa is too crazy. He doesn't care about riches, only blowing things up. (sighs) All right. Meeting ajourned! I am glad we had this council, friends. Trusted comrades are hard to find!

[]

  • Lopo Cruz: Ah! An enemy has appeared! Kill!

[]

  • Lopo Cruz: My friends... go on without me!

[]

  • Naoe: This man knows someone who goes by Little Kappa. (snorts) Interesting name. He lurks at a nearby lair.

[]

  • Naoe: Maybe I can use these explosives.

[]

  • Little Kappa: (laughs) You see what you did? Because of you, they explode! The next one will be even better, bigger, louder! (laughs) Prepare the explosives, the boom! Hurry. So many more to destroy!
  • Naoe: Explosives. I should be careful.

[]

  • Little Kappa: [growls] What are you idiots doing? Hurry up!

[]

  • Little Kappa: How dare you mess with Little Kappa! You will be erased with fire!

[]

  • Jesuit priest: Bless you, oh bless you! I am saved!

[]

  • Jesuit priest: Blessed thanks to you, kind soul. You saved me from great pain.
  • Naoe: Tell me what happened.
  • Jesuit priest: The last I remember I was preaching in a small village, not far from here. There were two men talking in loud voices. One of them was that terrible brute. The next thing I knew, I was knocked out.
  • Naoe: What did the other man look like?
  • Jesuit priest: I... did not see him, but the villagers called him Sen.
  • Naoe: Thank you.

[]

  • Naoe: The priest said Sen would be here. This place seems peaceful. Hard to believe there's a pirate here.

[]

  • Woman: Say, don't you think there is something below the water, near that boat? Is that a fish?
  • Man: Hmm. I saw Sen throw something in the water. Could that be it?

[]

  • Naoe: Who threw those weapons into the sea?

[]

  • Child: I'm so hungry! Let's go ask Sen for more rice!
  • Child 2: What? But you just ate! Greedy!
  • Child: Hey, who are you? You're not here to steal our food from Sen, are you? Go away!

[]

  • Pirate archer: Another day comes and goes.

[10:48-11:30][42] [36:28-37:21][53] []

  • Man: Ah, you're here! Master instructed me to dig and only leave when you arrive. Now I'm free!

The Winter Raiders[edit | edit source]

In winter, several villages and important roads in Japan are under attack by a veteran military unit gone rogue, trained in the art of sabotage. They vanish for the rest of the year, but the memories of their vile acts linger.

[]

  • Rin: Warrior! You're the toughest I have seen today by quite a measure.
  • Samurai duelist: (scoffs)
  • Rin: Don't walk away! We need your help. Will you listen to me?
  • Yasuke: I heard you. Loud and clear, miss.
  • Rin: Oh, yes. Come with me? I will explain.

[]

  • Yasuke: What is the trouble?
  • Rin: A group of dangerous raiders target our village and nearby areas. They steal all they can, and kill anyone in their way. I'm taking you to our elder.
  • Yasuke: Are they bandits?
  • Rin: If only. They are much stronger. They were once trained soldiers.
  • Yasuke: So they prey on the defenseless. That will not do.
  • Rin: I was hoping you'd say that. I was hoping for a mighty samurai to fight for us. I'm glad to have met you.

[]

  • Rin: Speak with the elder. I do hope you'll decide to help us.

[01:52-02:50][58] []

  • Rin: Excuse me, samurai. Can you spare me one more moment?

[03:04-03:54][50] []

  • Yasuke: You survived. If you had stayed, you would not have.

[04:27-05:07][40] []

  • Naoe: Go, teach her. I think it would do you both some good.
  • Yasuke: If you say so.

[]

  • Sobei: You! You killed my Akumu. Hired by the Elder, weren't you.
  • Yasuke: Hmm. Information about the Winter Raiders. And something about the Gobo elder. I wonder why they have a grudge against him.

[]

  • Yasha: You took Sobei, so I will take your head!

[]

  • Yasuke: What is done is done. The Raiders will terrorize the people no more. I must have a word with the elder.

[]

  • Yasuke: This note could help me find the rest of those Winter Raiders. It sounds like someone has betrayed them.

[]

  • Yasuke: The elder's notes mentioned that house. I should investigate it.

[]

Note from Yasha's Contact

Hello, old fool. Your hounds are coming for me, but you are not. Coward. Pretending to hold power over Kawakami, what we built together by that river in northern Yoshino. Death will take you too. Perhaps even sooner than you think.
  • Yasuke: This note suggests a connection with one of the Raiders. As the elder suspected.

[]

  • Yasuke: This is the village referred to in the supplier's note.

[]

  • Yasha: It's just ink. A brush. Why is this so hard to master?

[]

  • Yasuke: Hmm. This letter. It says the Winter Raiders were once hired to protect. What went wrong?

[]

  • Sobei: Insolence. Defiance. This is what happens when Sobei is crossed. All who oppose me will suffer the same fate.

[]

  • Yasuke: This letter contains information that can be useful. More about those Winter Raiders and their whereabouts.

[]

  • Takahara deserter 1: I'm not going back to Takahara. I'm still haunted by what happened last winter.
  • Takahara deserter 2: We weren't careful enough. We should have known that fire meant the raiders camped in the woods.

[]

An Important Notice

The situation in eastern Kumano Sanzan remains critical. Spies confirm that the Winter Raider known as Hayate has intensified his attacks on pilgrims in winter. His ambushers operate in highly mobile units. They target Taisha entrances.

[]

  • Yasuke: I wonder if this is the Raiders' camp those villagers spoke of.

[]

  • Akumu: Very good. It seems you heeded our lessons, recruit. Why do we strike at winter?

[]

  • Yasha's prospect: Winter is when the villagers are at their weakest. When help is hardest to find.

[]

  • Yasuke: Hmm. Information about the Winter Raiders. And something about the Gobo elder.

[]

  • Outlaw thug: Enough of your whining.
  • Buddhist monk: Someone! Help me!

[]

  • Buddhist monk: Those men ambushed me north of Kumano Hayatama Taisha Shrine. If you have sense, you will stay far from there.

[]

  • Yasuke: Hmm, something seems off.

[]

  • Yasuke: This note could help me find the rest of those Winter Raiders. It sounds like someone has betrayed them.

[]

  • Jinbei: The elder's newest fool. You killed Akumu and Sobei.

[]

  • Yasuke: What's done is done. The Raiders will terrorize the people no more. I must have a word with the elder.

[]

  • Gobo elder: The Raiders. Are they...
  • Yasuke: You knew they were soldiers. They once protected you. And for reasons I do not understand, you banished them.
  • Gobo elder: One must make difficult decisions at times. You should understand this.
  • Yasuke: Your choices, your actions, created enemies. You, elder, are culpable for all their bloodshed.
  • Gobo elder: And you are responsible for their end. The matter is resolved.
  • Yasuke: I need nothing from a remorseless old fool.
  • Gobo elder: As you wish.
  • Yasuke: Your people may be free, but until they are free of your "leadership," know that I will be watching.
  • Gobo elder: Fine. Now begone. What's done is done. Get out of my sight.

The Hunters of Kyonyo[edit | edit source]

A group of bounty hunters spread across Kii are targeting Kyonyo.

[00:16-01:20][64] []

  • Yasuke: This will help. I will deal with his hunters. Rest assured, Kyonyo will be safe. And if I may...
  • Kennyo: Please
  • Yasuke: Once this is over, speak with your son. Or it will haunt you. Trust me on this.

[]

  • Yasuke: Bodies. Monks and bandits.

[]

  • Yasuke: This confirms a plot to kill Kyonyo. The attackers will regroup after, at Yunomine Onsen.

[]

  • Yasuke: This is where Kyonyo's ambushers planned to meet. I should stay hidden and see if any are here.

[]

  • Inumaru: I almost had Kyonyo. It's Kamakichi's fault! Busy playing spy games in that decrepit town in Saika. Kyonyo was on the tip of my katana. Another inch, he'd be dead. And I'd be rich. Kamakichi's going to regret this. Same goes for you, all of you, if this gets back to him!

[]

Journal Entry Three

I heard Kyonyo's father hired someone to locate his son. Whoever they are, they will be to late to interfere. I'm so close, I can smell the promised reward.
  • Yasuke: This bounty hunter, Kamakichi, has been gathering information. Listening in on conversations, perhaps for weeks.

[]

Journal Entry One

A samurai, a ronin, and now a beggar. But I will find Kyonyo here and my fortune will change.
  • Yasuke: Saika. Kyonyo's exact location is not here, but this Kamakichi has revealed himself to me.

[]

Journal Entry Two

Someone knows something! The market guards might have disclosed my plan. Regardless, my nightly prowls near the Monk Houses will continue. The Ikko ikki feel safe there - to my advantage.
  • Yasuke: I think this can help me find Kamakichi's location.

[]

  • Yasuke: That man looks like he's on the watch. It must be Kamakichi.

[]

  • Saika guard: No, I saw him. Kyonyo. Dangerous people look for him. Maybe they will come to Saika.

[]

  • Yasuke: Kamakichi knew Kyonyo's location. I need to find him before the other bounty hunters do.

[]

Update from Koyasan

Rumor has it that some ronin were hired to track you down. Be aware of this when you travel. These are dangerous times, and we need to be careful.

[]

Kennyo is at Negoroji

Contacts are saying that Kennyo has arrived in Negoroji and has met with several people there. After the fallout between you two, it will not be surprising if he's trying to undermine you.

[]

  • Kyonyo: (grunts) Life is... full of surprises. One moment I'm getting ambushed by bounty hunters, the next, you stroll in. Oda's giant. The great Yasuke.
  • Yasuke: I am here on behalf of our ally, Naoe, and your father. He said you are being hunted.
  • Kyonyo: I thought he had other priorities. I can handle these bounty hunters.
  • Yasuke: Your injuries suggest otherwise. They will not rest until you are dead. Or until I deal with them.
  • Kyonyo: (sighs) I cannot afford to be choosy about the help I accept. Not until I'm ready to fight back. I'm... grateful for your aid. Here. This is all I know about the men hunting me. I'd know more, but my contact in Koyasan has gone quiet. If you could check on him, I'd be grateful.
  • Yasuke: I will.
  • Kyonyo: As for me, I'll be moving on. I have to assume my enemies may know I'm here. Meet me in Kumano Sanzan, and when the time is right, we will end the leader. Together.
  • Yasuke: Stay safe.

[]

  • Yasuke: The information Kyonyo shared mentioned this place. One of the bounty hunters is thought to be based here.

[]

  • Yasuke: What is that noise?

[]

  • Shishi-o: Your silence only prolongs our suffering. Where is Kyonyo?
  • Yasuke: Surely he is one of Kyonyo's hunters.

[]

  • Yasuke: Shishi-o shared a close bond with the leader of these bounty hunters.

[]

  • Guard: I'm so sorry, Tenchi. I should have been here.
  • Yasuke: What happened?
  • Guard: The temple's head monk asked me and Tenchi to pick up some papers. Didn't need the two of us, we thought. So Tenchi went to the monk's quarters. Alone. I stopped for a drink. Tenchi was taking so long... I headed over and heard a noise coming from the backyard. It was so dark, but I saw someone running. Must've been whoever killed my friend.
  • Yasuke: Sounds like the killer was looking for the head monk. Where can I find him?
  • Guard: He should still be at the Monks' District.

[]

  • Yasuke: Are you the head monk here?
  • Head monk: Tell me who sent you. Before I call the guards.
  • Yasuke: I am Yasuke. Kyonyo sent me. He has been expecting an update from you. And based on the dead man near your quarters, you are the next target.
  • Head monk: I feared I was being targeted. Now we know for sure. If you help me, we can set a trap.
  • Yasuke: What do you have in mind?
  • Head monk: The building behind me is our best hope. I'll dismiss the guards. Draw him out. Extinguish all the lights. And we'll have our best chance.

[]

  • Head monk: Come. Follow me.

[]

  • Head monk: All of you. Gather around. I need your assistance.

[]

To Kyonyo

Some ronin passed by yesterday. They were asking around town about you. One of them looked at me like he knew me. I'm worried that someone might've told them something.

[]

  • Head monk: Wait for nightfall. Extinguish every light. That is out best chance.

[]

  • Yasuke: I think that is the last of them. I will tell Kyonyo his immediate threats are dealt with.

[]

  • Head monk: Thank you, Yasuke. I will await word from Kyonyo.

[]

  • Yasuke: Kyonyo and his soldiers.

[17:14-18:27][13] []

  • Yasuke: It is time.
  • Kyonyo: Then what are we waiting for?

[]

  • Yasuke: We must do this together. Protect your father. I will go after Tsuchi-Gumo.
  • Kyonyo: Good hunting.

[]

  • Tsuchi-Gumo: The ronin Yasuke. Fighting for the wrong man again.

A Puzzlement[edit | edit source]

Two bickering men are on the brink of discovery - a discovery they think will make them rich.

[00:13-00:29][16] [00:47-01:03][16] [01:07-02:18][71] [02:23-02:35][12] [02:49-03:23][34] [03:29-03:42][13] []

  • Kane: When we were in the swamp east of here, that ornament thing really started acting up.

[]

Riddle of the Vault in Wakasa

Near Kaiji's courtyard
Marshlands are full of treasure
Vaulting their secrets

[]

  • Naoe: Hmm. The ornament is... glowing? It must be guiding me somewhere. And I think I'm close.

[]

  • Naoe: The ornament feels alive!

[]

  • Naoe: So something about the ornament and this spot lights up a glyph. It is a mystery. I guess we'll go tell those two dunces the good news.

[]

  • Kinu: Hey. They lit up. Something's happening!
  • Kane: In your brain? No. To the door? Yes!

[05:50-06:07][17] [06:09-06:30][21] [06:41-06:57][16] []

  • Naoe: Fine. But only if you pass a training test. Fail it, and you're out.
  • Kinu: Yatta!
  • Kane: We'll find a suitable place and report to duty. Here. A scroll to show we're serious.

[07:16-07:35][19]

Teach a Dog New Kicks[edit | edit source]

Yasuke has some skills to pass on to Kane and Kinu in hopes of training them.

[]

  • Kane: I wonder what Yasuke the legendary has in store for me.
  • Kinu: He could give you etiquette lessons?
  • Kane: Your face needs etiquette lessons.

[]

  • Kane: We were just limbering up. I'm as flexible as any shinobi. Like a wet noodle!
  • Naoe: Please don't compare me to a noodle.
  • Kane: We're ready to train if you're ready to teach.
  • Naoe: All right, let's start.

[]

  • Yasuke: Now, when your weapon is occupied, you must rely on the strength of your own body. At times, a strong kick will do the job. Not only does it keep enemies from your vital core, but kick hard enough, and they will take flight.

[]

  • Yasuke: Brace your stomach.

[]

  • Kinu: Oof. (whimpers)

[]

  • Kane: I've been wanting to do that to him for years. Let me try!
  • Yasuke: Square your hips. Ground yourself. Draw power from the earth.

[]

  • Kane: (braces)

[]

  • Kane: Ow! (whimpers)
  • Naoe: Should have mentioned needing a backup plan when the enemy's twice your size.
  • Kinu: I could use that lesson.
  • Yasuke: Good point. Want to show them how it is done?

[]

  • Yasuke: The goal is to lift them off the ground. Send Kinu flying!

[]

  • Yasuke: You can do better than that. Another!

[]

  • Yasuke: Try again!

[02:18-02:43][25] []

  • Yasuke: Make them fly!

[]

  • Kane: Aaaahhhhhh!

[]

  • Kinu: (giggles) Bye Kane!

[]

  • Kinu: Good one!
  • Yasuke: That probably hurt.

[03:08-03:49][41] [03:52-04:20][28]

Headucation[edit | edit source]

It's Naoe's turn to help train Kinu and Kane - and she's determined to have some fun.

[]

  • Yasuke: It is a new day. I hope that Kinu and Kane are feeling better.

[]

  • Kinu: Please don't embarass me in front of miss Naoe.
  • Kane: What? Does Kinu have an imaginary girlfriend now?
  • Kinu: No, I just, you just... nevermind.

[]

  • Kinu: Reporting for training, great samurai.
  • Yasuke: I guess that means you are feeling better. Are you ready?
  • Kinu: Whenever you are, sir.
  • Yasuke: Let us begin.

[01:02-01:59][57] []

  • Kinu: (chokes)
  • Yasuke: Sorry, Kinu.

[02:07-02:28][21] []

  • Kane: (chokes)
  • Naoe: You got him!

[]

  • Naoe: And down he goes. Let's keep practicing!

[02:53-03:15][22] []

  • Kane: We've kicked, we've choked. What else is there?
  • Naoe: I'm sure you're right. That must have thought you everything.
  • Kane: So we're ready for the final test then!
  • Kinu: You won't be disappointed, miss Naoe. Meet us here tomorrow. I need to lie down. Immediately.

[03:46-04:13][27]

Battle of the Bests[edit | edit source]

The time has come to see all the skills that Kinu and Kane have learned. Will they be invited to join the Kakushiba ikki?

  • Kane: This is it, Kinu. You wanna stop sleeping on the rocks? Get away from the macaques? That happens today. If... you don't mess it up.
  • Kinu: (gulps)

[]

  • Kane: To perform in front of you... it is an honor.

[]

  • Naoe: You're laying it on a bit thick.
  • Kane: I am a changed man, shinobi. Truly. Allow me and Kinu to show you what we will bring to your illustrious team.
  • Naoe: This will be interesting.

[]

  • Yasuke: Do not say "I told you so."

[]

  • Naoe: I'm thinking it.

[]

  • Yasuke: They have charisma?

[]

  • Naoe: I thought they were bad, but turns out they're just stupid. And stupidity is not a crime.

[]

  • Yasuke: But it should be

[]

  • Naoe: We know Tomiko could use a hand. She hates mucking the horse stalls.
  • Yasuke: They could handle that.

[]

  • Naoe: Maybe.

[02:16-03:45][89] [duel as naoe]

  • Naoe: All right, legendary samurai. Let's duel.

[]

  • Naoe: You're not bad at this fighting thing.
  • Yasuke: Lord Nobunaga did not keep me around just to play Go.
  • Naoe: That explains why Junjiro always wins your games.
  • Yasuke: I often let the disadvantaged win. You may see that yourself today!

[]

  • Yasuke: (yawns)
  • Naoe: Don't start.
  • Yasuke: Then wake me up!

[]

  • Naoe: (grunts)
  • Yasuke: Are you all right down there?
  • Naoe: Don't worry about me. Worry about your bruised ass tomorrow.

[]

  • Yasuke: Hold still!
  • Naoe: Move faster, old man!
  • Yasuke: Now you have done it.

[]

  • Naoe: Watch this! (grunts)

[]

  • Yasuke: (laughs) That is the lesson I want to learn next!
  • Naoe: You've got it.

[]

  • Naoe: I'm pretty tough, huh?
  • Yasuke: Eh.
  • Naoe: I am!

[]

  • Kane: They're pretty close, Kinu. Jealous?

[]

  • Kinu: No! Please! Don't kiss her!

[07:05-08:52][107] []

  • Naoe: They better not make me live to regret this. But the Hideout will be livelier. Maybe I'll go there and ask Yasuke for another duel.

  • Naoe: So, you were trying to lose them in the woods.
