Orient 49 “The Oni who nest on Awaji ”

Orient 49 “The oni who nest on Awaji”

Page 25 The great war for the unity under heaven is about to start. The one who carries Hi no Moto’s future over his shoulders is, from the Uesugi bushidan, Uesugi Tatsuomi.

Page 26 & 27

Man: Oh, great Takami Musubi no kami!! Man: We present ourselves to you in high spirits, may we win this difficult war by the blood ties that bind us…

Naotora: He’s making a vow of victory in front of the bodies of his ancestors… Naotora: being proud of our family lineage is normal within bushi households, but… Uesugi is the only one who takes it this far…

Naoe: My lord. There are three outsiders to the Uesugi bushidan, they’ve infiltrated themselves within the corps… Uesugi: Kill them.

Page 28 Naotora’s thoughts: As unmerciful to outsiders as always… Naotora: Ah, those people are my subordinates! Uesugi: … And what about that? Natoroa: Moreover, they are the cousins of a distant relative of my older brother.  Naotora’s thoughts: Will he be as harsh as ever? Uesugi: if those subordinates are related by blood to you, i’ll leave them be… Naotora’s thoughts: I’m so glad consanguinity is so important to him… Naotora: Then?, Why did you send this to me? I’m not your subordinate, Tatsuomi…

Page 29 Uesugi: Of course you are not… Uesugi: However, I wonder if you could help me?

Naotora: “Must defeat the Awaji kishin”? Sounds challenging…

Page 30 Girl: I see… Uesugi’s seal is on that picture scroll? And thereupon, to investigate about Kojirou’s dad lineage, you want to meet lord Uesugi…

Page 31 Tsugumi: Musashi, who are these people? Musashi: Oh… They are from the Takeda bushidan, they saved our town some time ago…

Box: Sanada Aoshi. Takeda Bushidan, First squad, second blue sword. 

Box: Yamamoto Shunrai Takeda Bushidan Green sword, special corps, vice commander.

Aoshi: We were removed from the captain’s escort, to babysit some brats of all things…! Shunrai: You worry way too much, Aoshi… Aoshi: Why? Why do i have to get along with this used-to-be miner, redhead brat? Whyyyarhg? Tsugumi’s thoughts: if they don’t thake him seriously, Musashi will snap… Musashi in Tsugumi’s thoughts: I’m not a brat, my name is Musashi!!

Page 32

Musashi: Thanks for covering for us before bro!

Tsugumi’s manuscript: I had never seen that look on him before!

Tsugumi: Huh? He’s being unusually humble… Tsugumi’s manuscript: Why?

Musashi: Because the Takeda Bushidan seems to be our intermediary in order to start contact with lord Uesugi… Manuscript: We gotta get along with them.. Manuscript: Big connections. Manuscript: Uesugi Tsugumi: He’s making himself closet o them and making them like him… Manuscript: To help Kojirou… Kojirou: Thank you, Musashi. Shunrai: AHAHA, Even if you use that obvious flattery, we won’t let you meet lord Tatsuomi! Musashi: W-WHY!?

Page 33 Shunrai: Because it’s dangerous! Bushidan are very severe towards outsiders! Actually, a while ago, just when people noticed you were outsiders to the Uesugi Alliance, everyone froze, remember? Musashi: Yeah... but maybe hey can tell me a couple of things… Manuscript: Like if they had anyone named Kanemaki Jisai… Musashi: Does the Uesugi family gains anything from that? Shunrai: Bushi don’t do anything that won’t benefit their “house”!

Kojirou: House?

Page 34 Shunrai: That’s right! The leader’s priority are those who have blood connections with them. Manuscript: Family

Shunrai: Now we give the name “bushi” to those people who can use a Kitetsu sword, but originally, on the Heian era, the word “buke” was about warriors from a household lineage.

Shunrai: Long ago, those houses battled each other… That’s why “ We believe in blood ties above anything” … is an idea that every bushidan seems to have in common.  

Page 35 Musashi, Kojirou: Oh…

Musashi: Bushi battled each other when the Oni didn’t exist?... Shunrai Manuscript: Eat Kojirou: Now that you mention it, the picture scroll does mention something about bushidan competing with each other… Manuscript: That’s absurd… Musashi: Yeah.. Musashi: To believe in blood ties above anything… Musashi: I don’t understand very well…

Page 36 Tsugumi: I think i get it a little… My lord always told me things like not to stain the name of the family, and that i should cherish the honor of being part of them… Kojirou: I… … Jisai: Kojirou, you are the descendant of a proud household. Jisai: Don’t trow away your pride as a bushi. Kojirou: I’ll find out from now on… Musashi: Kojirou…

Page 37 Musashi: We’ll find a way to know about the old man somehow… Kojirou: Musashi… Musashi: With all those people out there on the harbor, it shouldn’t be so hard to infiltrate… Aoshi: Stop that! Those bushi are gathered to exterminate the Kishin of Awaji island… You will die if you infiltrate. Kojirou: Die? Musashi’s manuscript: It’s alright! Musashi: we’ve seen Kishin a couple of times! Aoshi: You kids don’t get it. Aoshi: Oh, great, let me take a look at this picture scroll…

Page 38 Aoshi: this looks like an Oni family tree. The size of their circle is proportional to their strenght.  The huge one at the center is the strongest, the “Black Kishin”! Kojirou: Woah! Musashi: Which one is Engokutengu? Aoshi: This one. Box: This. Musashi: What the… It’s so small. Musashi: Then, this Kishin of Awaji island is…?

Page 39 Aoshi: This one. Box: This. Box with arrow: Engokutengu. Kojirou, Musashi: What!? It’s so big… Completely in another level! Musashi: So, just by this you can tell it’s strong?

Box: Awaji island. Man: There’s no trace of the  original shape of the island… Man: Yeah… This is terrible.  Let’s report this to the lord!

Page 40, page 41

Page 42 Box: Emerald Kishin. Housenryuuya Matanoorochi.  ( battle dragon of eight heads) Man: Oh! Man: Oh…  Great god of ours we worship so dearly…! Man: I’m able to meet a high kishin like so close … As one of the Obsidian brotherhood, i swear i’ll be useful to you! Man: Please look how i break the Uesugi bushi from the inside… As i’m invading them.

  Additional Info

  Creator Shinobu Ohtaka shared the following comment back in August along with a celebratory illustration: 

  "The staff of the Orient anime are hard at work making the best anime they possibly can. As an author, I can’t wait to see new life breathed into my characters, and see how they move when animated." 

    Director Tetsuya Yanagizawa commented, as well: 

  “I’ve been reading shonen manga since I was a kid. I’ve learned a lot from manga. I love strong characters, and the way they stay true to what they believe and fight through any trial has given me courage many times. I like weak heroes too. When somebody falls and then gets back up again, they always grow as a person. Sometimes fighting with your friends, or laughing with them... I like all those kinds of manga. And Orient has all of that. I’ve always wanted to make a show like this."

  As did series composition writer Mariko Kunisawa: 

  “The world of Orient is the society we live in. The more I read it, the more I realize that.” I want to share the things that make this manga great with as many people as possible, and both the director and I are working are hardest at it.”

New ORIENT Key Visual Shows Takeda Bushidan Ready for Awajishima Battle Arc

  Following up on an earlier visual featuring the Uesugi Bushidan front and center, another of the largest Bushi Bands in the land is in the spotlight ahead of the second cour of the ORIENT anime. This time we have the Takeda Bushidan ready for the Awajishima Battle Arc, which is currently set to premiere this July.

  Check out the visual featuring, from left to right, Aoshi Sanada (VA: Haruki Ishiya), Naotora Takeda (Satoshi Hino) and Shunrai Yamamoto (Saori Onishi):

    The first cour of the TV anime adaptation of Shinobu Ohtaka's manga, directed by Tetsuya Yanagisawa (High School DxD, SENRAN KAGURA SHINOVI MASTER), aired for 12 episodes from January to March 2022. Here's how Crunchyroll describes it:

  During the Warring States era, the feuding generals were suddenly struck down one after another by the demonic Kishin. In the 150 years since, groups of individuals have continued to resist Kishin control. They are called Bushi bands. When they were young, Musashi and Kojiro would hear tales about the Bushi from Kojiro's father, and the two of them dream to form the strongest Bushi band. One day, as Musashi struggles with his choices, he witnesses humans being torn apart by oni. Forced to face the truth, Musashi rises up against the powerful oni to make his dream with Kojiro come true!
