Black Clover (ブラッククローバー)

Appearing and vanishing like dew... Such is my life.

Even Shinga's splendor is a dream within a dream.

Extraordinary warlords seek to unify a country.

Their fate is now about to shift.

So, are we good for next Sunday?

Yeah, I'm excited!

What time should we meet?

Any time works.

Wh-What?

Huh? Huh?!

What?

What's happening?

Where... am I?

Why am I in a place like this?

What's wrong?

You aren't usually this pathetic!

Shaddup!

I just don't need to get serious with someone like you!

Wh-What is this?

Who are these people?

What are you doing, Toshiie?

Damn you!

Hey, look behind you.

The retreat signal, huh?

Guess I don't have a choice.

I'll kill you next time.

Be ready!

All of you, retreat!

Man, this battle was a tough one.

Had a close one there, didn't ya, Toshiie?

You must not act so rashly.

Our plans went amiss this time because of Toshiie.

That's not true!

Come on now.

It's no fun if everything always goes exactly as planned, right?

Hideyoshi Toyotomi

Hmm?

Toshiie.

Right.

They saw me?!

Hey, come out!

Hurry up!

What? A girl?!

Oh, now that's an unexpected development!

And you're wearing some pretty strange clothing, too!

Hey, let me see.

No!

Insolent wretch!

Don't you know who this person is?

Toshiie, settle down.

Are you all right?

Perhaps you're just scared, being confronted by me?

Do you really not know him?

He's Hideyoshi Toyotomi-sama!

The might of our Toyotomi Army is currently a threat to the Oda Army.

It is said that Hideyoshi-sama is the closest to unifying the country.

You mean that Hideyoshi Toyotomi?

That's right.

I'm sure you're surprised to see Hideyoshi Toyotomi-sama.

That can't be... There's no way.

Then why don't you take your sweet time

looking me over to figure out if I'm the real thing.

All right, it's settled!

You're coming with me.

What are you saying?

What's the harm, Mitsunari?

We can't just leave a girl all by herself in a place like this, can we?

B-But, sir...

I've made up my mind.

Come on, let's go.

Where in the world am I?

In the third month...

You know,

I'm really curious what the missing lyrics are.

Were covered...

Covered with blooming flowers.

Kenshin-sama, where have Kagekatsu-sama and Kanetsugu gone?

Kenshin Uesugi

Yes.

They headed towards the mountains to gather some fruit.

Those two really get along well.

While they may have fun together,

they have both become adults.

Kanetsugu isn't as picky with food anymore.

Wow, that really means he's grown up!

He used to put his unwanted food onto my dishes, saying he'd never eat them.

Kagekatsu-sama has such a dignified expression in battle

that I hardly recognize him at times.

Lately he's come to resemble Kenshin-sama even more.

I look forward to the future of our army.

For that reason,

we must not fail to defeat the Takeda Army.

I completely agree.

They are, after all, our destined enemy.

Yes.

We have returned.

Please have some.

Be sure to thank us.

We went through a lot of trouble to get these.

Right, Kagekatsu?

We hope everyone will enjoy them.

Thank you, Kagekatsu-sama.

So good!

Ah, Kanetsugu. Give me a bite, too!

No way.

That was a pretty good strike...

but don't pull your punches just because this is a mock fight!

Come at me like you mean to kill!

I'm always coming at you like that!

That's enough!

You got me...

Nobuharu-san wins again today.

Man, I can never win against Nobuharu-san.

I'll be happy to take you on anytime.

Yo, you lot.

You're really full of energy first thing in the morning.

Shingen Takeda

Shingen-sama!

Good morning!

Where's that bum Masatoyo?

It looks like he didn't come to practice...

P-Pardon me...

I'm right here.

Th-There you are, Masatoyo!

My bad, I didn't see you.

Well, it's nothing to worry about.

It happens all the time.

That's true!

So, how do you all feel?

You all look like you can't wait for battle.

Of course we can't, Shingen-sama.

We're going to let them have it during the next battle!

Let's settle the score with the Uesugi Army this time.

Yeah, that's right.

Be sure to put your all into it, you guys!

Yeah!

There we go.

Personal Style Ninja Arts!

Whirlwind Technique!

Oh!

So you're just going to blow away the scattered scrap materials?

That's quite the idea, considering it came from Sasuke...

Hey! Why is it coming this way?!

W-We really did a number there...

You guys!

Why are things even messier than they were before we started repairing the castle?

The number of yakuma have really increased around here lately.

Yeah.

We've never seen a group of yakuma like that before.

We don't know their origin,

and their numbers only recently started increasing.

I wonder why that is.

Hey, Kamanosuke, don't yawn in the middle of a meeting!

The yakuma that continue to increase,

and the reason for it. Hmm...

Yukimura Sanada

Nobunaga-sama ordered that the men be treated to some sake as well.

Understood. I will make the arrangements.

We fight again tomorrow!

I'm definitely drinking today!

Jeez, Katsuie-san...

Oh, that reminds me.

The Toyotomi Army found something kinda strange today.

Something strange?

Hideyoshi picked up a woman wearing unfamiliar clothing.

Looked to me like she was a girl from another country.

What does it matter?

Seems there will be a battle tomorrow.

When they clear out of the castle to fight,

it'll be the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack.

What should we do, Masamune?

It's not a bad idea.

However...

I want a bit more information first.

Come on, that's so indecisive.

No, let's do that.

It's better to seize the opportunity.

Leave it to me.

Right. I'm counting on you.

Masamune Date

That evening,

the Toyotomi Army held a war council meeting

to prepare for battle with the Oda Army.

We'll split up our forces, and each of us will attack the enemy warlords.

All right. We'll go with that tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Come here.

All right.

I'll introduce you to everyone.

This straight-laced guy is Mitsunari Ishida.

Pleasure to meet you.
