Kotaro's Story-Mode

Kotarō: "Who is that sneaking around? Come on out and show yourself!"
Kaede: "So you're investigating Nobunaga? And the warrior with the gauntlet on his right hand as well?"
Kotarō: "I don't know what you are talking about..."
Kaede: "Don't play innocent! Answer me..."
Kotarō: "You look serious...the warrior with the Oni power...I'm searching for him."
Kaede: "!?"
Kotarō: "I see that you know something about that. Very well. I shall be honest with you. My name is Kotarō Fūma. And you are?"
Kaede: "I'm Kaede."
Kotarō: "!? Kaede!? That's the same name as the one who fights alongside the warrior with Oni gauntlet! You don't want to talk? All right. I'll do the talking, I know the warrior Jūbei Yagyū. He has the blood of the Oni in him. As soon as I heard of another warrior with the same power as himself, he sent to find that warrior. is that enough?"
Kaede: "...I see. I'm scouting for information about Oda to report back to Samanosuke Akechi. He is the warrior with the Oni gauntlet that you are looking for."
Kotarō: "What!?"
Kaede: "Jūbei Yagyū. You say he has the power to absorb the souls of demons. Is that ture?"
Kotarō: "Of course. I have nothing to gain by lying to you. But, he does indeed exist..."
Kaede: "Shh! Something's coming!"

Samanosuke's Story-Mode

Keijiro: "Is that really the gauntlet that changed you into an Oni?"
Samanosuke: "Yes...when I came to, Fortinbars' body was laying there. It bored scars that could not possibly have been made by humans."
Keijiro: "What!?"
Samanosuke: "It was then that I realize the terrible nature of my power. If I didn’t find a way to control it...I would be unable to protect the people I love. That is why I left..."
Keijiro: "I see..."

Keijiro: "Samanosuke, about Kaede..."
Samanosuke: "Hmm?"
Keijiro: "It's nothing. Just wondering what you thought of Kaede, is all."
Samanosuke: "...She is a trusted friend...no, she is much more than just a friend...I would trust her with my life."
Keijiro: "So, she is very special to you...Samanosuke, about Prin-...never mind...it's nothing."
