Mibuno Showdown was a virtual representation of one of Yasuke's genetic memories, relived through the Animus EGO.[1]
Description
Yasuke and his lord Oda Nobunaga arrived in Mibuno Castle's courtyard after capturing it.
Dialogue
Yasuke arrived at the topmost courtyard of castle.
- Yasuke: (breathes)
However, he arrived to find it empty with no one in sight. His lord Nobunaga arrived shortly after, applauding Yasuke's efforts.
- Oda Nobunaga: My one man army.
Yasuke bowed in gratitude for his lord's praise. Just then, the Iga ikki's leader Momochi Sandayu revealed himself while his kusarigama, facing off alone against Nobunaga's men.
- Oda Nobunaga: Oh! The best of the failed rebellion for last.
- Momochi Sandayu: Your pride is astonishing. An entire land and its people vanquished for the folly of your son?
- Oda Nobunaga: For the good of our country. For the ambition of his father.
- Momochi Sandayu: Too much blood split has warped your mind. You will never see the truth.
- Oda Nobunaga: Oh! Enlighten me, old shinobi.
- Momochi Sandayu: And waste my breath? Duel me.
- Oda Nobunaga: (laughs) No. Duels belong in the old world. The old world is dead. This is the way forward.
Nobunaga's ashigaru marksmen took aim with their teppo.
- Momochi Sandayu: You will learn nothing in victory, Oda Nobunaga. In your defeat, you will know it all.
- Yasuke: Hold.
Yasuke stepped in, prompting his lord's men to hold fire.
- Yasuke: Allow me to duel him.
- Oda Nobunaga: He is a formidable warrior.
- Yasuke: And so deserving of a warrior's death.
Nobunaga considered his retainer's request.
- Oda Nobunaga: Bring me his head. A gift for my idiot son. (laughs)
The daimyo left the courtyard with his men, leaving Yasuke alone.
- Momochi Sandayu: You are not of this land. Yet you fight our battles.
- Yasuke: It is not about land. It runs deeper than that. For both of us.
- Momochi Sandayu: So... it does.
Sandayu raised his kusarigama while Yasuke drew his katana. The two soon clashed with one another.
- Momochi Sandayu: What keeps your loyalty? See him for what he is!
- Yasuke: He has shown me another side.
- Momochi Sandayu: Impossible!
While Yasuke was able to land hits, the shinobi similarly returned with several hits on Yasuke as well.
- Momochi Sandayu: Iga was protected. Self-contained. Independent!
- Yasuke: Lord Nobunaga wants to unite you!
- Momochi Sandayu: I will die an outsider before living under a tyrant.
After some time, Yasuke defeated Sandayu, who was knocked to the ground, dying.
- Momochi Sandayu: What is your name?
- Yasuke: Yasuke.
- Momochi Sandayu: You are special, samurai. Not for your skin... for your skill. Your daimyo does not deserve your greatness.
- Yasuke: (scoffs) I am about to kill you, and you praise me?
- Momochi Sandayu: You have not killed me yet. I have one more trick... but not the strength to use it.
Sandayu lifted his left wrist and drew his blade. Yasuke, upon seeing the blade, sheathed his sword and quickly went to the dying Sandayu.
- Yasuke: Where did you get that? Sandayu! Tell me!
- Momochi Sandayu: A girl from Iga with the same blade... trust her. Help her. (gasps)
With his last words, Sandayu passed away from his wounds.
- Yasuke: Sandayu! Who –
Outcome
Yasuke defeated and killed Sandayu, who revealed a Hidden Blade that the samurai had seen before. His last words were to ask Yasuke to look for an Igan girl who possessed the same blade.
