STAGE SELECT YOSHITSUGU: Is it clear to you now, Mitsunari? If we are to triumph in this battle, we will need the might of the Saika behind us. MITSUNARI: Do you think so, Yoshitsugu? To seek the aid of forces not under Lord Hideyoshi's control... It seems almost blasphemous. YOSHITSUGU: Of course! But what if you knew Ieyasu was also seeking an alliance with Saika? MITSUNARI: Really? YOSHITSUGU: It would be foolish to allow him to consolidate such power, don't you think? MITSUNARI: Ieyasu... you took everything from me... And I promise I, in turn, will take everything from you!
STAGE SELECT - SAIKA STRONGHOLD MITSUNARI: Quickly Yoshitsugu! We cannot allow Ieyasu to simply do as he pleases! YOSHITSUGU: Gracious no! After you, sir.
SAIKA STRONGHOLD - STAGE DIALOG MAGOICHI: I welcome you Mitsunari. Have you also come to court an alliance? MITSUNARI: Save your pleasantries, and swear allegiance to Lord Hideyoshi immediately! MAGOICHI: I think not. Such a friendship must be earned, and we have yet to test your mettle. MITSUNARI: Ieyasu... I will not let you take anything else from me... I swear it! MITSUNARI: Do you see what I can do!? The strength Lord Hideyoshi has entrusted in me?! MAGOICHI: It is a blessing to have eyes so keen.
SAIKA STRONGHOLD - WITH MAGOICHI AND IEYASU MITSUNARI: [Hears the red bell, realizes Ieyasu has made a pact with the Saika.] Ieyasu... IEYASU-! [He runs forward and attacks Ieyasu.] IEYASU: [Blocks his blade.] Mitsu...nari...! You came to the Saika, as I did. MAGOICHI: [Shoots at Mitsunari. He blocks with the blade and jumps backwards.] MITSUNARI: None of that matters anymore. Prepare yourself, Ieyasu! I'm going to kill you here and now! But you, Magoichi Saika, you stay out of this. MAGOICHI: You forget this is our land, and you are an intruder. [Honda flies down and Ieyasu jumps on his back to escape.] MITSUNARI: Ieyasu, don't you dare run away! IEYASUUU! ...Magoichi... how dare you?! MAGOICHI: What? Do you have something to say to me? MITSUNARI: Lord Hideyoshi, please grant me permission to kill her! [He runs forward and the battle begins.]
SAIKA STRONGHOLD - VS. MAGOICHI MITSUNARI: I came to you in good faith. And yet you ally with him! MAGOICHI: He was the better negotiator. You'll get over it. MITSUNARI: Really... At what point did you deem me the inferior ally? MAGOICHI: My god you like to whine. Honestly, you're acting like a spoiled child. MITSUNARI: How dare you say such things to me! I demand you bow your head, and apologize for your slander! MAGOICHI: Oh, I see. You're uncomfortable with how you measure up to a man like Ieyasu. MITSUNARI: I will deliver Ieyasu your head! I will plunge him into war and devastation! MAGOICHI: [When defeated:] Your hate clouds you, and makes you unworthy.
STAGE SELECT MITSUNARI: Ieyasu... You follow me, blocking my way at every turn! When will your desire to ruin me be satisfied? YOSHITSUGU: Who can tell? He is a wicked man... MITSUNARI: Thank you for sharpening my resolve, Yoshitsugu. I swear that I will have him drawn and quartered, and I will meet his gaze as the last tatters of his soul abandon his ruined and dying flesh. YOSHITSUGU: What better way to show your respect to Lord Hideyoshi?
KARASU CASTLE - STAGE DIALOG HIDEAKI: Oh... Mitsunari's here! TENKAI: It's all right, Hideaki. I am right here by your side... MITSUNARI: Every time I see his face, I fight the urge to cut him to pieces. YOSHITSUGU: All in a day's work. HIDEAKI: Well, this is a surprise, isn't it? What can I do for you? MITSUNARI: ... MITSUNARI: Hideaki and his attitude. It sickens me. YOSHITSUGU: He's confident today. Perhaps he's been drinking. MITSUNARI: If you have time to stuff yourself, you have time to work for the Toyotomi! HIDEAKI: Alright... YOSHITSUGU: You should have behaved yourself, Hideaki. So, what should we do with him now, Mitsunari?
KARASU CASTLE - VS. HIDEAKI MITSUNARI: Hideaki... I demand an explanation for your confidence. HIDEAKI: Uh... no reason! I mean, I did receive a letter from Ieyasu... MITSUNARI: A letter?! HIDEAKI: He asked me to join his forces! Said he recognized my talents... Me! MITSUNARI: You... after all Lord Hideyoshi has done for you... You repay him with betrayal?! HIDEAKI: Well Lord Hideyoshi isn't here, is he!? And I don't have to do anything you say! HIDEAKI: You heard me! Unlike you, Lord Ieyasu is a kind and just lord! MITSUNARI: Hideaki... you traitor!
KARASU CASTLE - WITH HIDEAKI MITSUNARI: [Grabs Hideaki by the collar and lifts him up.] You're going to say it. "I will deny Ieyasu's request." Your life depends on it. SAY IT! HIDEAKI: Stop it, I'll say it! I'll deny Ieyasu's request! MITSUNARI: [As Hideaki says it, he tosses him to the ground. Hideaki begins to crawl away.] I despise nothing more than betrayal. [He hits his sword against the dome on Hideaki's back.] You're going to turn your loyalties against Ieyasu. You will make certain he feels the sting of your treachery! HATE HIM! HURT HIM! TORTURE HIM! DESTROY HIM! HIDEAKI: I'm sorryyyyy! MITSUNARI: [As Hideaki sniffles, Mitsunari walks away.]
STAGE SELECT YOSHITSUGU: Mitsunari, I don’t mean to alarm you, but it seems Ujimasa has formed an alliance with Ieyasu. MITSUNARI: Ujimasa? Are you talking about that senile old fool? YOSHITSUGU: The one who was defeated under the banner of Lord Hideyoshi. That would be him. MITSUNARI: That withered old man still draws breath only because of Lord Hideyoshi’s mercy! And yet he allies himself with Ieyasu!? That ignorant, arrogant fool! It’s unforgivable! YOSHITSUGU: What should we do? MITSUNARI: What do you think? Next time we meet, I will end his worthless, traitorous life!
STAGE SELECT - NOSHIMA YOSHITSUGU: Mitsunari... may I make a suggestion? MITSUNARI: Go ahead, Yoshitsugu. Speak up. YOSHITSUGU: I have approached the Oracle, in an attempt to persuade her to ally with the Western Army. MITSUNARI: What are you talki- Oh... That Oracle. YOSHITSUGU: That Oracle. Her power would be quite an asset. Don’t you agree? MITSUNARI: Must I keep repeating myself? Of course it would be an asset! Now, let us be off. YOSHITSUGU: I am here to serve your wisdom, sir.
NOSHIMA - STAGE DIALOG TSURUHIME: Well, there you are! I do not accept! I refuse to join the Western Army! MITSUNARI: I think we're the victim of bad timing, Yoshitsugu. YOSHITSUGU: It’s not the timing, but the outcome that sours me, sir. MITSUNARI: Enough regret. Let’s kill her and be done with it. TSURUHIME: Magoichi told me all about you! She said you are both very untrustworthy individuals! MITSUNARI: Magoichi... Why must you insist on meddling in my affairs?!
NOSHIMA - VS. TSURUHIME TSURUHIME: Shame on you, Yoshitsugu! Trying to deceive me with your flattery! YOSHITSUGU: ... TSURUHIME: You said I was pretty, gorgeous even! The most desirable girl in the west, perhaps the world! You told me you had intentions of marriage! YOSHITSUGU: ... TSURUHIME: And that is why I am joining the Eastern Army! MITSUNARI: No you don’t! I won’t allow it! TSURUHIME: At least Ieyasu is not a liar! And, I might add that the Twilight Ninja has joined up with them! MITSUNARI: Stop saying that name! Everyone is “Ieyasu this” and “Ieyasu that”! [Tsuruhime defeated.] YOSHITSUGU: She’s gone... straight to the Eastern Army. Despite her modest exterior, she is quite the lady of action. MITSUNARI: Then after I finish with Ieyasu, her head will be the next that I collect.
NAKATOMIGAWA - STAGE DIALOG MOTOCHIKA: Mitsunari Ishida, I wish to speak with you! MITSUNARI: What could you possibly want to talk about, Motochika? You were Lord Hideyoshi's foe, which means we, too, are in opposition. Or has the sea air addled your senses? [The above exchange is also in Motochika's red route.] MITSUNARI: Here you are, asking for an alliance for no reason I can clearly see. It doesn’t inspire trust. MOTOCHIKA: Worried about betrayal? That’s fair. You’re clearly a better judge of character than I am. MOTOCHIKA: Don’t worry, I know all about betrayal, at the hands of someone like Ieyasu!
NAKATOMIGAWA - VS. MOTOCHIKA MITSUNARI: So explain to me why you wish to form an alliance. MOTOCHIKA: All I want is to fight against Ieyasu! MOTOCHIKA: The villain... he betrayed me, and destroyed Shikoku...! MOTOCHIKA: He is not the man I thought I knew! He is beyond forgiveness! MITSUNARI: To fight Ieyasu... is that really the only reason you seek to form an alliance? MOTOCHIKA: What? What has vexed you now?
NAKATOMIGAWA - POST-BATTLE MOTOCHIKA: [He's crouching as usual.] Agh... Well done. Hmph, now I'm sure an alliance with you will succeed. [He stands up, and offers his hand to Mitsunari.] MITSUNARI: [Looks at him, looks at his hand, and looks away.] MOTOCHIKA: [His hand drops to his side. He begins to talk, and walks up to Mitsunari.] I respect you, Mitsunari. You're a man who lives by his principles. [He leans in to get a look at Mitsunari's face. Mitsunari looks down. Motochika leans back, and starts walking in the other direction.] Truly. I don't think you're half as wicked as your reputation. MITSUNARI: But I think your reputation suits you well. In your eyes, I see no hatred. Ieyasu shouldn't have sent such a poor liar. MOTOCHIKA: I do not lie. To have my revenge, I'll do what must be done. MITSUNARI: Tch. [He walks up to Motochika, and shoves him out of his way.] They look to him for guidance, hanging on his every word. They bow to his every whim. What they cannot give, the Fates present before him. That smug creature took everything away from me. Ieyasu... I will never forgive you for what you have done!
YUKIMURA ALLIES WITH MITSUNARI YUKIMURA: Hellooo! Greetings to you! I am Yukimura Sanada! I have come today, in the hope of meeting the general... Mitsunari Ishida. So that joined together... we can fight Ieyasu! YOSHITSUGU: Hmm... Yukimura, the young cub of Takeda. What business brings you to the gates of the Western Army? YUKIMURA: Because... it had always been the desire of my mentor, Lord Shingen Takeda. MITSUNARI: Really? To fight against Ieyasu? YOSHITSUGU: Calm yourself, Mitsunari. Yukimura, we gladly accept your allegiance, and could not hope for a better ally. YUKIMURA: I thank you, and I think you'll find the forces of Shingen to be invaluable in your battle against Ieyasu. MITSUNARI: Ieyasu, Ieyasu, IEYASU, IEYASU! Everyone persists on repeating that name in front of me!
YUKIMURA ALLIES WITH MITSUNARI -- YUKIMURA RED ROUTE VER. YUKIMURA: Hellooo! Greetings to you! I am Yukimura Sanada! I have come today, in the hope of meeting the general... Mitsunari Ishida. So that joined together... we can fight Ieyasu! YOSHITSUGU: That's quite enough oration. We read your letter, so we already know about your intentions. YUKIMURA: Uh... And...? YOSHITSUGU: We accept, right, Mitsunari? MITSUNARI: I have no objections. However... I do have one question. Why exactly would you choose to march against Ieyasu? YUKIMURA: Because... it had always been the desire of my mentor, Lord Shingen Takeda. MITSUNARI: Is that all? YUKIMURA: No! Also... I have to find out what my mentor saw in him. Why is he important? MITSUNARI: This tedious discourse interests me not at all... You have your reasons... Do what you want... YUKIMURA: You have my gratitude!
STAGE SELECT - ITSUKUSHIMA YOSHITSUGU: Understand, Mitsunari. If you are to fight against Ieyasu, you will require Motonari’s forces. MITSUNARI: Whatever for, Yoshitsugu? A man with sentiment for such a wretched patch of land has no place in my future empire. [CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHAT IS UP WITH THIS FUTURE EMPIRE THING... this dialog gets recycled elsewhere and it doesn't make any sense there either. Mistranslation/localization quirk?] YOSHITSUGU: Perhaps. But in the coming battle against Ieyasu, you cannot afford any uncertainties. Trust me, if you desire victory, you will need this man’s allegiance. MITSUNARI: As you wish, but let’s act swiftly. We must waste no more time in our quest to deliver that villain a brutal death! [BONUS DIALOG IN YOSHITSUGU'S RED ROUTE] YOSHITSUGU: You are wise beyond your years, Mitsunari. Remember young warrior, everything I do is for justice, and for you.
ITSUKUSHIMA - STAGE DIALOG MITSUNARI: Do as I say, and don’t you dare talk back to me! MOTONARI: You ignorant fool... How dare you speak to me in such a manner? YOSHITSUGU: My apologies, Motonari. He can be very rude. MOTONARI: I don’t want apologies. I want restitution.
ITSUKUSHIMA - VS. MOTONARI MITSUNARI: I demand your obedience! And should you mention Ieyasu's name in my presence, I will cut out the tongue that offends me! MOTONARI: This little lover's spat between you and Ieyasu fails to interest me. MITSUNARI: All the world's hate and rage and malice I have saved for him, and I swear I will not rest until Lord Hideyoshi is avenged! MOTONARI: But your bitterness is extraordinary. I had heard tales of Mitsunari's unwavering loyalty... But it turns out he's even more of a fool than I could have hoped.
ITSUKUSHIMA - AFTER DEFEATING MOTONARI MOTONARI: [Injured, he falls to one knee.] MITSUNARI: I'm not going to repeat myself. I give orders, you obey without question. MOTONARI: [His head turns sharply, and then Mitsunari slices him.] Agh--! [He slides on his back, and then backflips onto one knee, panting. Mitsunari gazes impassively. Motonari looks at him and smirks.] Hmph. As you wish. I suppose we're both allied to Yoshitsugu. Tell me, where does all that rage come from? MITSUNARI: I don't know what you mean. MOTONARI: Hmph. That is remarkable. You have no idea what you are. You really are that ignorant. MITSUNARI: [Puts his hand on his sword as a warning.] MOTONARI: If I were to die, you would stand alone against Ieyasu. ...So go ahead and kill me. [He stares him down.] MITSUNARI: [Stares right back at him... and then relaxes his stance.]
STAGE SELECT YOSHITSUGU: I fear we might be in a bit of trouble, Mitsunari. MITSUNARI: What could be worse than knowing Ieyasu’s heart still beats within his chest? YOSHITSUGU: Yes, besides that... I have news concerning the Maeda Clan. MITSUNARI: What has happened? YOSHITSUGU: The Maeda Clan now has good relations with Tokugawa. I had sent spies to work against such an event, but, well... MITSUNARI: You mean... the Maeda Clan has formed an alliance with Ieyasu? YOSHITSUGU: Regretfully my plans have failed. I beg your forgiveness.
ISHIGAKIBARU - STAGE DIALOG MITSUNARI: The time has come. Join me in my fight, Kanbe! KANBE: Is that all? What, am I supposed to just fall in line now? KANBE: I’ve been thinking about the past, and I realize that it was you! You’re the reason these shackles are on me! KANBE: What do you intend to do now? Are you gonna let me go? MITSUNARI: [Reaction to Drillatron?] The dirt suits you, Kanbe.
ISHIGAKIBARU - VS. KANBE KANBE: Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. I think I’ll take my chances with Ieyasu. KANBE: At least Ieyasu knows how to show a man a little respect. MITSUNARI: Mongrel... hold your tongue! MITSUNARI: Even in a land so remote it may as well be the ends of the earth... I must be subjected to his name! MITSUNARI: How much more must I suffer at his hands?!
STAGE SELECT YOSHITSUGU: Mitsunari... I fear we may have been dealt another foul hand. MITSUNARI:Again? What is it now, Yoshitsugu? YOSHITSUGU: Date, of Oshu, has formed an alliance with Ieyasu. It is hard to believe they would act so irresponsibly at a time when the country is on the verge of collapse! MITSUNARI: I don’t care! It doesn’t matter who he chooses to ally with. I will see to it that he meets his end. YOSHITSUGU: Do not underestimate the weight of this. Securing Oshu means that assaulting his forces from the rear will be next to impossible. MITSUNARI: So, it is his plan to continue recruiting until there is no one left?! Very well! Ieyasu... I will peel your life from you in the cruelest way imaginable!
STAGE SELECT - SEKIGAHARA MITSUNARI: The time has finally come! Lord Hideyoshi, in the battle to come, please grant me the strength to do what is necessary to find victory. And when the battle is over, grant me forgiveness for what I have done.
SEKIGAHARA - WITH YOSHITSUGU AND HIDEAKI MITSUNARI: Ridiculous. How much longer must I wait? YOSHITSUGU: Have patience, Mitsunari-- MITSUNARI: I can bear it no longer! It's time! And don't you dare try and stop me! [He turns, only to see Hideaki.] HIDEAKI: Enough! I've had enough! Finally I can say how much I hate you! I won't betray Ieyasu no matter what! So go away! The only person I'd betray is Mitsunari! MITSUNARI: You... traitorous... cur! HIDEAKI: [Screams and runs away.] MITSUNARI: Ieyasu, I'LL KILL YOUUU!
SEKIGAHARA - STAGE DIALOG [Gonna have to come back to this at some point to fix it up.] MITSUNARI: Ieyasu! Ieyasu! IEYASUUUU! MITSUNARI: I will never forgive you! Never! Nothing in this world will hold back my vengeance! IEYASU: Why would you champion hatred, Mitsunari? Why nurse these sins of old? MITSUNARI: Your time is up, Hideaki! HIDEAKI: You’re a bully, Mitsunari, and I hope you fail! MITSUNARI: Hideaki! I will make you pay for your disrespect! IEYASU: With just one bond, we can rid this land of the violence that plagues it! We could flourish as a nation united! MITSUNARI: Ieyasu! You... How dare you say such things to me?! After everything you’ve done! MITSUNARI: I can never forgive you! And yet they all flock to your side! How can they so easily forgive you of your sins? MAGOICHI: You may earn both fear and praise, but no allies. TSURUHIME: You are like a wind that sweeps everything away. [Not sure if this is generic dialog or not.] MITSUNARI: You took everything from me when I had done nothing! And still you spew your empty words at me! MITSUNARI: My fury is just! And it shall not be quenched until I have your head on a pike! HIDEAKI: [After he makes it to Ieyasu’s camp:] B-b-but wait! Ieyasu said I could join his army! I... well... to tell the truth, I want nothing to do with you! MITSUNARI: Hideaki... You BASTARD! YOSHITSUGU: It is my own doing, for having forged a pact with such a monster! I vow to make amends within three years time!
SEKIGAHARA - CONFRONTING IEYASU MITSUNARI: Though you have assembled a mighty army... and though you have spoken your pretty speeches... even now, I still see right through you. Ieyasu... your sins have found you out! IEYASU: Mitsunari... MITSUNARI: Now... bow down in reverence to Lord Hideyoshi, beg his forgiveness for your crimes, and then... offer up your life as penance. IEYASU: I cannot. My cause is righteous. MITSUNARI: It always has to be this way dealing with you, doesn't it? You ignore your own ambitions, pretending to cling to your moral superiority, while challenging Lord Hideyoshi's dreams of unification! IEYASU: You are deluded, Mitsunari, but know this: I will unite this country with or without you! MITSUNARI: How much will it take before you're satisfied? How much?! Even the last of my allies you woo to your side with your forked tongue! How am I supposed to live!? What am I supposed to do now?! [BONUS DIALOG IN IEYASU'S RED ROUTE:] Mark well my words. I will never surrender, Ieyasu. Even if I find myself alone, even when I lay gasping on my deathbed, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! IEYASU: Go ahead, Mitsunari. Fight me with all the strength you have. But know this. I will never admit defeat, or surrender! I can't fail! I will have peace for my power!
SEKIGAHARA - VS. IEYASU MITSUNARI: I've had enough of your lies to last a lifetime! Of your ego... of your greed! Prepare to be crushed beneath the weight of your sins! IEYASU: I cannot die today! Too many have placed their faith in me! MITSUNARI: Even now you can't help but spew your hateful lies, you hypocrite! Go ahead, it fuels my rage like nothing else! IEYASU: Like nothing else? Really? You have changed quite a bit, haven't you?! MITSUNARI: Don't you dare claim to know me! To know what I've been through! Enough talk! Come and fight me Ieyasu! MITSUNARI: This feeling, this... covetousness.. perhaps when I have finally removed you from this earth... I will find the peace I once possessed! IEYASU: Then let us fight! And I will prove myself worthy of the faith that has been placed upon me! MITSUNARI: I will expose the sins for which you are guilty to the world! And may they damn you to hell for all eternity!
SEKIGAHARA - AFTER KILLING IEYASU MITSUNARI: [Laughter.] He's dead! I did it! Lord Hideyoshi, I did it! [He continues laughing. It trails off, and he falls to his knees.] ...It's just... it's empty. Hey... hey, get up. You dare disobey? Get up. I command you to rise to your feet so that I can kill you again! ...Ieyasu... You had to die. I killed you in Lord Hideyoshi's name. Your death was in service to Lord Hideyoshi... wasn't it? Why is it that now that you are gone, my life seems to have lost its meaning...? [Screams and clutches his head and throws a tantrum. He lifts his head and begins to cry. Calmer, he says the following as he begins to stagger away:] I have been a fool. I must go and beg forgiveness for my selfishness... Lord Hideyoshi...
POST-CREDITS MITSUNARI: I feel my spirit begin to wane... for it is done...

MITSUNARI: Do you think so, Yoshitsugu? To seek the aid of forces not under Lord Hideyoshi's control... It seems almost blasphemous.
YOSHITSUGU: Of course! But what if you knew Ieyasu was also seeking an alliance with Saika?

SAIKA STRONGHOLD - VS. MAGOICHI

YOSHITSUGU: What better way to show your respect to Lord Hideyoshi?
KARASU CASTLE - STAGE DIALOG
HIDEAKI: Oh... Mitsunari's here!
TENKAI: It's all right, Hideaki. I am right here by your side...
MITSUNARI: Every time I see his face, I fight the urge to cut him to pieces.
YOSHITSUGU: All in a day's work.
HIDEAKI: Well, this is a surprise, isn't it? What can I do for you?
MITSUNARI: ...
MITSUNARI: Hideaki and his attitude. It sickens me.
YOSHITSUGU: He's confident today. Perhaps he's been drinking.
MITSUNARI: If you have time to stuff yourself, you have time to work for the Toyotomi!
HIDEAKI: Alright...
YOSHITSUGU: You should have behaved yourself, Hideaki. So, what should we do with him now, Mitsunari?
KARASU CASTLE - VS. HIDEAKI
MITSUNARI: Hideaki... I demand an explanation for your confidence.
HIDEAKI: Uh... no reason! I mean, I did receive a letter from Ieyasu...
MITSUNARI: A letter?!
HIDEAKI: He asked me to join his forces! Said he recognized my talents... Me!
MITSUNARI: You... after all Lord Hideyoshi has done for you... You repay him with betrayal?!
HIDEAKI: Well Lord Hideyoshi isn't here, is he!? And I don't have to do anything you say!

MITSUNARI: Hideaki... you traitor!
KARASU CASTLE - WITH HIDEAKI

MITSUNARI: Ujimasa? Are you talking about that senile old fool?

TSURUHIME: Magoichi told me all about you! She said you are both very untrustworthy individuals!
MITSUNARI: Magoichi... Why must you insist on meddling in my affairs?!
NOSHIMA - VS. TSURUHIME
TSURUHIME: Shame on you, Yoshitsugu! Trying to deceive me with your flattery!
YOSHITSUGU: ...
TSURUHIME: You said I was pretty, gorgeous even! The most desirable girl in the west, perhaps the world! You told me you had intentions of marriage!
YOSHITSUGU: ...
TSURUHIME: And that is why I am joining the Eastern Army!
MITSUNARI: No you don’t! I won’t allow it!
TSURUHIME: At least Ieyasu is not a liar! And, I might add that the Twilight Ninja has joined up with them!
MITSUNARI: Stop saying that name! Everyone is “Ieyasu this” and “Ieyasu that”!
[Tsuruhime defeated.]
YOSHITSUGU: She’s gone... straight to the Eastern Army. Despite her modest exterior, she is quite the lady of action.
MITSUNARI: Then after I finish with Ieyasu, her head will be the next that I collect.
MITSUNARI RED ROUTE, PART 2
MOTOCHIKA: Mitsunari Ishida, I wish to speak with you!
MITSUNARI: What could you possibly want to talk about, Motochika? You were Lord Hideyoshi's foe, which means we, too, are in opposition. Or has the sea air addled your senses?
[The above exchange is also in Motochika's red route.]
MITSUNARI: Here you are, asking for an alliance for no reason I can clearly see. It doesn’t inspire trust.
MOTOCHIKA: Worried about betrayal? That’s fair. You’re clearly a better judge of character than I am.
MOTOCHIKA: Don’t worry, I know all about betrayal, at the hands of someone like Ieyasu!
NAKATOMIGAWA - VS. MOTOCHIKA
MITSUNARI: So explain to me why you wish to form an alliance.
MOTOCHIKA: All I want is to fight against Ieyasu!
MOTOCHIKA: The villain... he betrayed me, and destroyed Shikoku...!
MOTOCHIKA: He is not the man I thought I knew! He is beyond forgiveness!
MITSUNARI: To fight Ieyasu... is that really the only reason you seek to form an alliance?
MOTOCHIKA: What? What has vexed you now?
NAKATOMIGAWA - POST-BATTLE
MOTOCHIKA: [He's crouching as usual.] Agh... Well done. Hmph, now I'm sure an alliance with you will succeed. [He stands up, and offers his hand to Mitsunari.]
MITSUNARI: [Looks at him, looks at his hand, and looks away.]
MOTOCHIKA: [His hand drops to his side. He begins to talk, and walks up to Mitsunari.] I respect you, Mitsunari. You're a man who lives by his principles. [He leans in to get a look at Mitsunari's face. Mitsunari looks down. Motochika leans back, and starts walking in the other direction.] Truly. I don't think you're half as wicked as your reputation.
MITSUNARI: But I think your reputation suits you well. In your eyes, I see no hatred. Ieyasu shouldn't have sent such a poor liar.
MOTOCHIKA: I do not lie. To have my revenge, I'll do what must be done.
MITSUNARI: Tch. [He walks up to Motochika, and shoves him out of his way.] They look to him for guidance, hanging on his every word. They bow to his every whim. What they cannot give, the Fates present before him. That smug creature took everything away from me. Ieyasu... I will never forgive you for what you have done!
YUKIMURA ALLIES WITH MITSUNARI
YUKIMURA: Hellooo! Greetings to you! I am Yukimura Sanada! I have come today, in the hope of meeting the general... Mitsunari Ishida. So that joined together... we can fight Ieyasu!
YOSHITSUGU: Hmm... Yukimura, the young cub of Takeda. What business brings you to the gates of the Western Army?
YUKIMURA: Because... it had always been the desire of my mentor, Lord Shingen Takeda.
MITSUNARI: Really? To fight against Ieyasu?
YOSHITSUGU: Calm yourself, Mitsunari. Yukimura, we gladly accept your allegiance, and could not hope for a better ally.
YUKIMURA: I thank you, and I think you'll find the forces of Shingen to be invaluable in your battle against Ieyasu.
MITSUNARI: Ieyasu, Ieyasu, IEYASU, IEYASU! Everyone persists on repeating that name in front of me!
YUKIMURA ALLIES WITH MITSUNARI -- YUKIMURA RED ROUTE VER.
YUKIMURA: Hellooo! Greetings to you! I am Yukimura Sanada! I have come today, in the hope of meeting the general... Mitsunari Ishida. So that joined together... we can fight Ieyasu!
YOSHITSUGU: That's quite enough oration. We read your letter, so we already know about your intentions.
YUKIMURA: Uh... And...?
YOSHITSUGU: We accept, right, Mitsunari?
MITSUNARI: I have no objections. However... I do have one question. Why exactly would you choose to march against Ieyasu?
YUKIMURA: Because... it had always been the desire of my mentor, Lord Shingen Takeda.
MITSUNARI: Is that all?
YUKIMURA: No! Also... I have to find out what my mentor saw in him. Why is he important?
MITSUNARI: This tedious discourse interests me not at all... You have your reasons... Do what you want...
YUKIMURA: You have my gratitude!
STAGE SELECT - ITSUKUSHIMA
YOSHITSUGU: Understand, Mitsunari. If you are to fight against Ieyasu, you will require Motonari’s forces.
MITSUNARI: Whatever for, Yoshitsugu? A man with sentiment for such a wretched patch of land has no place in my future empire. [CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHAT IS UP WITH THIS FUTURE EMPIRE THING... this dialog gets recycled elsewhere and it doesn't make any sense there either. Mistranslation/localization quirk?]
YOSHITSUGU: Perhaps. But in the coming battle against Ieyasu, you cannot afford any uncertainties. Trust me, if you desire victory, you will need this man’s allegiance.
MITSUNARI: As you wish, but let’s act swiftly. We must waste no more time in our quest to deliver that villain a brutal death!
[BONUS DIALOG IN YOSHITSUGU'S RED ROUTE]
YOSHITSUGU: You are wise beyond your years, Mitsunari. Remember young warrior, everything I do is for justice, and for you.
ITSUKUSHIMA - STAGE DIALOG
MITSUNARI: Do as I say, and don’t you dare talk back to me!
MOTONARI: You ignorant fool... How dare you speak to me in such a manner?
YOSHITSUGU: My apologies, Motonari. He can be very rude.
MOTONARI: I don’t want apologies. I want restitution.
ITSUKUSHIMA - VS. MOTONARI
MITSUNARI: I demand your obedience! And should you mention Ieyasu's name in my presence, I will cut out the tongue that offends me!
MOTONARI: This little lover's spat between you and Ieyasu fails to interest me.
MITSUNARI: All the world's hate and rage and malice I have saved for him, and I swear I will not rest until Lord Hideyoshi is avenged!
MOTONARI: But your bitterness is extraordinary. I had heard tales of Mitsunari's unwavering loyalty... But it turns out he's even more of a fool than I could have hoped.
ITSUKUSHIMA - AFTER DEFEATING MOTONARI
MOTONARI: [Injured, he falls to one knee.]
MITSUNARI: I'm not going to repeat myself. I give orders, you obey without question.
MOTONARI: [His head turns sharply, and then Mitsunari slices him.] Agh--! [He slides on his back, and then backflips onto one knee, panting. Mitsunari gazes impassively. Motonari looks at him and smirks.] Hmph. As you wish. I suppose we're both allied to Yoshitsugu. Tell me, where does all that rage come from?
MITSUNARI: I don't know what you mean.
MOTONARI: Hmph. That is remarkable. You have no idea what you are. You really are that ignorant.
MITSUNARI: [Puts his hand on his sword as a warning.]
MOTONARI: If I were to die, you would stand alone against Ieyasu. ...So go ahead and kill me. [He stares him down.]
MITSUNARI: [Stares right back at him... and then relaxes his stance.]
STAGE SELECT
YOSHITSUGU: I fear we might be in a bit of trouble, Mitsunari.
MITSUNARI: What could be worse than knowing Ieyasu’s heart still beats within his chest?
YOSHITSUGU: Yes, besides that... I have news concerning the Maeda Clan.
MITSUNARI: What has happened?
YOSHITSUGU: The Maeda Clan now has good relations with Tokugawa. I had sent spies to work against such an event, but, well...
MITSUNARI: You mean... the Maeda Clan has formed an alliance with Ieyasu?
YOSHITSUGU: Regretfully my plans have failed. I beg your forgiveness.
ISHIGAKIBARU - STAGE DIALOG
MITSUNARI: The time has come. Join me in my fight, Kanbe!
KANBE: Is that all? What, am I supposed to just fall in line now?
KANBE: I’ve been thinking about the past, and I realize that it was you! You’re the reason these shackles are on me!
KANBE: What do you intend to do now? Are you gonna let me go?
MITSUNARI: [Reaction to Drillatron?] The dirt suits you, Kanbe.
ISHIGAKIBARU - VS. KANBE
KANBE: Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. I think I’ll take my chances with Ieyasu.
KANBE: At least Ieyasu knows how to show a man a little respect.
MITSUNARI: Mongrel... hold your tongue!
MITSUNARI: Even in a land so remote it may as well be the ends of the earth... I must be subjected to his name!
MITSUNARI: How much more must I suffer at his hands?!
MITSUNARI RED ROUTE, PART 3
YOSHITSUGU: Mitsunari... I fear we may have been dealt another foul hand.
MITSUNARI: Again? What is it now, Yoshitsugu?
YOSHITSUGU: Date, of Oshu, has formed an alliance with Ieyasu. It is hard to believe they would act so irresponsibly at a time when the country is on the verge of collapse!
MITSUNARI: I don’t care! It doesn’t matter who he chooses to ally with. I will see to it that he meets his end.
YOSHITSUGU: Do not underestimate the weight of this. Securing Oshu means that assaulting his forces from the rear will be next to impossible.
MITSUNARI: So, it is his plan to continue recruiting until there is no one left?! Very well! Ieyasu... I will peel your life from you in the cruelest way imaginable!
STAGE SELECT - SEKIGAHARA
MITSUNARI: The time has finally come! Lord Hideyoshi, in the battle to come, please grant me the strength to do what is necessary to find victory. And when the battle is over, grant me forgiveness for what I have done.
SEKIGAHARA - WITH YOSHITSUGU AND HIDEAKI
MITSUNARI: Ridiculous. How much longer must I wait?
YOSHITSUGU: Have patience, Mitsunari--
MITSUNARI: I can bear it no longer! It's time! And don't you dare try and stop me! [He turns, only to see Hideaki.]
HIDEAKI: Enough! I've had enough! Finally I can say how much I hate you! I won't betray Ieyasu no matter what! So go away! The only person I'd betray is Mitsunari!
MITSUNARI: You... traitorous... cur!
HIDEAKI: [Screams and runs away.]
MITSUNARI: Ieyasu, I'LL KILL YOUUU!
SEKIGAHARA - STAGE DIALOG
[Gonna have to come back to this at some point to fix it up.]
MITSUNARI: Ieyasu! Ieyasu! IEYASUUUU!
MITSUNARI: I will never forgive you! Never! Nothing in this world will hold back my vengeance!
IEYASU: Why would you champion hatred, Mitsunari? Why nurse these sins of old?
MITSUNARI: Your time is up, Hideaki!
HIDEAKI: You’re a bully, Mitsunari, and I hope you fail!
MITSUNARI: Hideaki! I will make you pay for your disrespect!
IEYASU: With just one bond, we can rid this land of the violence that plagues it! We could flourish as a nation united!
MITSUNARI: Ieyasu! You... How dare you say such things to me?! After everything you’ve done!
MITSUNARI: I can never forgive you! And yet they all flock to your side! How can they so easily forgive you of your sins?
MAGOICHI: You may earn both fear and praise, but no allies.
TSURUHIME: You are like a wind that sweeps everything away. [Not sure if this is generic dialog or not.]
MITSUNARI: You took everything from me when I had done nothing! And still you spew your empty words at me!
MITSUNARI: My fury is just! And it shall not be quenched until I have your head on a pike!
HIDEAKI: [After he makes it to Ieyasu’s camp:] B-b-but wait! Ieyasu said I could join his army! I... well... to tell the truth, I want nothing to do with you!
MITSUNARI: Hideaki... You BASTARD!
YOSHITSUGU: It is my own doing, for having forged a pact with such a monster! I vow to make amends within three years time!
SEKIGAHARA - CONFRONTING IEYASU
MITSUNARI: Though you have assembled a mighty army... and though you have spoken your pretty speeches... even now, I still see right through you. Ieyasu... your sins have found you out!
IEYASU: Mitsunari...
MITSUNARI: Now... bow down in reverence to Lord Hideyoshi, beg his forgiveness for your crimes, and then... offer up your life as penance.
IEYASU: I cannot. My cause is righteous.
MITSUNARI: It always has to be this way dealing with you, doesn't it? You ignore your own ambitions, pretending to cling to your moral superiority, while challenging Lord Hideyoshi's dreams of unification!
IEYASU: You are deluded, Mitsunari, but know this: I will unite this country with or without you!
MITSUNARI: How much will it take before you're satisfied? How much?! Even the last of my allies you woo to your side with your forked tongue! How am I supposed to live!? What am I supposed to do now?!
[BONUS DIALOG IN IEYASU'S RED ROUTE:] Mark well my words. I will never surrender, Ieyasu. Even if I find myself alone, even when I lay gasping on my deathbed, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!
IEYASU: Go ahead, Mitsunari. Fight me with all the strength you have. But know this. I will never admit defeat, or surrender! I can't fail! I will have peace for my power!
SEKIGAHARA - VS. IEYASU
MITSUNARI: I've had enough of your lies to last a lifetime! Of your ego... of your greed! Prepare to be crushed beneath the weight of your sins!
IEYASU: I cannot die today! Too many have placed their faith in me!
MITSUNARI: Even now you can't help but spew your hateful lies, you hypocrite! Go ahead, it fuels my rage like nothing else!
IEYASU: Like nothing else? Really? You have changed quite a bit, haven't you?!
MITSUNARI: Don't you dare claim to know me! To know what I've been through! Enough talk! Come and fight me Ieyasu!
MITSUNARI: This feeling, this... covetousness.. perhaps when I have finally removed you from this earth... I will find the peace I once possessed!
IEYASU: Then let us fight! And I will prove myself worthy of the faith that has been placed upon me!
MITSUNARI: I will expose the sins for which you are guilty to the world! And may they damn you to hell for all eternity!
SEKIGAHARA - AFTER KILLING IEYASU
MITSUNARI: [Laughter.] He's dead! I did it! Lord Hideyoshi, I did it! [He continues laughing. It trails off, and he falls to his knees.] ...It's just... it's empty. Hey... hey, get up. You dare disobey? Get up. I command you to rise to your feet so that I can kill you again! ...Ieyasu... You had to die. I killed you in Lord Hideyoshi's name. Your death was in service to Lord Hideyoshi... wasn't it? Why is it that now that you are gone, my life seems to have lost its meaning...? [Screams and clutches his head and throws a tantrum. He lifts his head and begins to cry. Calmer, he says the following as he begins to stagger away:] I have been a fool. I must go and beg forgiveness for my selfishness... Lord Hideyoshi...
POST-CREDITS
MITSUNARI: I feel my spirit begin to wane... for it is done...
