LEGEND-OF-THE-SAMURAI

Thank you for your patience! The next challenger hails from the Far East.

A mysterious fighter called "SAMURAI!!" It's "SASAKI KOJIROU" and friends!

Why did this happen...?

Her Majesty sure got us this time.

She asked us to come play at the Colosseum, and this is what happens when we believe her words!

She told us to risk our lives as gladiators to entertain her. As expected of a historically renown tyrant!!

And so, as they were forced into this battle. A comment from SAMURAI of the Far East, please.

Hmm, the Colosseum. A rather special arena, isn't it?

And you fit in a little bit too well, Kojirou! Are you here on tour!?

？！

Well, those walking the path of swordsmanship are prepared for this. Everything you do is part of your training - as my predecessors would say.

That refreshing smile. You're amazing, SAMURAI.

Hmm? No, you're wrong, Lord Roman. I'm neither a warrior nor a samurai. Just some dude that can wave a stick.

Whaaaaaat!?

Besides a sword, I've carried hoes before, too. So I am quite handy with peasant works, too.

Whoa...That's impressive, but how did you become a Heroic Spirit, again...?

The first match "SAMURAIS" vs. "Immortal Soldiers!!"

Wait wait wait, this is messed up!! Immortal!? Are they zombies!? Skeletons!?

？！

Yes. It is twice the communications traffic than usual. The Doctor's interested in Kojirou...or rather, SAMURAI.

Hmm...so let's have a fair...fight!!

Umm. Given your opponent's build, you'll need to be creative. Focus on inserting your blade and pulling your arm back, I guess.

What an overwhelming force! Who on earth is he? "SAMURAI," warrior from the Orient!

But that's the extent of his power!! Next up is a gladiator-killing demon!

Our champion!! "Demon Sword, the Emissary from Hell!!"

Any way you slice it, that's a demon! That's insane! Isn't that insane!? What has happened to the reign of Rome!?

Calm down, Doctor. That's a gladiator's costume.

Oh, I seeee. It's just a performance to hype up the battle...and you think I'd fall for that!?

I mean it's got wings and a tail!! That transcends the level of a costume!!

Why did the Emperor hire this guy? Is she a moron? I had a feeling all along, but is the Roman Emperor a moron?

No matter how great a samurai you are, Kojirou... No, even if you were raised in the wild, that's not fair!

Your opponent transcends Bushido, you know! Default, Kojirou! That would be the best!

Hahaha. Lord Roman, you worry too much.

Don't worry about me! I fought beasts on a daily basis in the mountains.

Look. An ox head, bear body, and monkey legs. A worthy opponent, but rather boring.

Why don't you relax and enjoy this, Lord Roman? OK, Master. Let's show off our abilities!

Hmm. He's invulnerable like Berserker. Guess this wasn't just a beast?

No matter how much you attack him, he won't fall!! That's our champ, "Demon Sword!!"

You're still going to insist that it's a human fighter! I'm going to make a direct complaint to Emperor Nero!

Ugoaaaaaaaaa!!!

Watch out, Master!!

Hidden SwordSwallow Reversal!!

Goaaaaaaaa...!!

...!! Wh-What has happened!?

Demon Sword, undefeated for 100 battles, has finally fallen!!

I guess its stock of resurrection ran out. ...How boring.

I expected a tough opponent, but it's still quite far from an enlightenment of a new Hidden Sword.

Well. I wonder when I'll meet the one who could surpass the swallow on that day.

No, no, no. The swallow you fought was absolutely nuts, a phantasmal! Was it a phantasmal?

A new champion has risen here!! His name is "SAMURAI," the warrior of the Orient.

We ask the audience to welcome this new champion with a loud round of applause!!

This just turned into something amazing, Senpai.

？！

This is some pretty good cheering. It lacks elegance but the thunderous applause is nice.

Lord Fujimaru, I've caused you trouble. Well, let's have a drink to celebrate the victory.

Will there be a bag of rice, too? Man, a place where you can make money from martial arts! This is a nice town!

After that, the fighter from the Orient piled on victory after victory as a great Gladiator in Roman history

and became a legend among the people for a long time henceforth...

Well, that bit of Roman gladiator history continues to be described about in detail but

Have anything to say, Kojirou?

No, I was just excited. Forgive me.

？！

Kojirou was really popular. The merchandise was flying off the shelves, too!

Emperor Nero was having a fit though. She said, "I shall be the 100th opponent!"

But, I am surprised that the history can tolerate this amount of changes.

No, it can't tolerate at all. Romani, what are we going to do about this?

Well...We went there to correct the history, and now we actually ended up changing it...What should we do, Fou?

Fou!!

Fou said, "Super Overtime." Doctor, do you want to eat the food we got as prizes?

Don't need it, return it to Rome!
