He's too strong!
Kaede, Yuki...you, too..
Ooohaaah...gyah!

[Moriya]
Master!

[Gaisei]
...Ooh!
Don't cry for me...
This, too, is destiny.
All living things die...
Thanks to you three,
I've had a good life...

4.10 - Naoe Shigen
------------------

[Kagami]
Hoo, hoo, hoo.

[Shigen]
Hmph.

[Kagami]
From hate,
you become a demon.
You're no better
than a human!
I give up.

[Shigen]
What?

[Kagami]
You must be destroyed.
and your corpse...
...will be the base
of a new age!

[Shigen]
Kagami!
...I...become
a wild demon!
...But...the White
Tiger...
The duty of the 
guardians...
Must not be forgotten!
[Kagami]
...Hmph!...

4.11 - Shikyo
-------------

[Kagami]
...Foolish human.
You'll destroy yourselves!
O, to lose to you!
...but!
In defeating me,
you shame my existence!
I rot with my plan.
And return to the abyss!
Again...my art will return!

[Shikyoh]
What?
What the?...
W, waaaaaah!

[Narrator]
And so the battle of
Hades' gate ended.
Several months later,
the damage was fixed.
And life... returned to normal.
And in the normalcy...
the one who saved the world.
Disappeared in the fog
of the complacency of peace.

4.12 - Washizuka Keiichiro
--------------------------

[Kagami]
...Foolish human.
You'll destroy yourselves!
O, to lose to you!
...but!
In defeating me,
you shame my existence!
I rot with my plan.
And return to the abyss!
Again...my art will return!

[Washizuka]
A fearful enemy!

[Soldier]
Washizuka?
Your next mission.
You must crush the
rebellion.
A band of samurai
and the choshu clan.
They have formed a pact,
and plan to seize power.

[Washizuka]
I understand.
I'll investigate it
post haste!
I got a bad feeling
about this! ...But
whatever may happen,
they will not succeed!

4.13 - Yuki
-----------

[Kagami]
...Foolish human.
You'll destroy yourselves!
Why?
Love is impotent.
Why?
Why do you grow so strong?

[Yuki]
You don't understand.
People can become as strong as they please.
Yes...
To protect those
they love...

[Kagami]
Heh, heh, heh.
Love? Loved ones?
Only fools speak of such.
Very well.
The love you speak of...
will disappear with 
my ambition!
So long, ya sap!

4.14 - Zantetsu
---------------

[Kagami]
...Foolish human.
You'll destroy yourselves!
O, to lose to you!
...but!
In defeating me,
you shame my existence!
I rot with my plan.
And return to the abyss!
Again...my art will return!

[Zantetsu]
The demon...
...was not what was rumored.
Hades' power was nothing.
Those who slay the weak,
are slain someday themselves.
My technique...
is the essence of battle.
To slay all brutes,
until I achieve perfection.
Until I die, I must cut!

[Narrator]
Thus the way of "ninja"
passed trough generations
and was passed to
successors of the afterlife.
In every age...
to fuel the powerful...

5.0 - What's Left
-----------------

In this section goes the assorted miscellaneous random (and sometimes
redundant) stuff that doesn't go anywhere else.


------------------------
5.1 - Neo*Geo CD version
------------------------

-------------------
5.1.1 - Demo Viewer
-------------------

Last Blade for the Neo*Geo CD has a few things which the arcade and home
cart versions do not.  The first of these is the ability to save any
endings you have gotten.  There is also an art gallery.  In order to get
the art gallery, you have to do the following:

  1. Play through Story Mode once with Demo Cut OFF.
  2. Beat the game with each and every character (including the bosses).
  3. Play through in Short Mode twice, at difficulty levels 1 and 3.

Once this is done, you will have a new screen in the Demo Viewer, with
several very nice pictures of each character.

Of course, the above steps are admittedly rather tedious.  There is an
easier way, though.  To access everything (all endings, story demos and
the art gallery) immediately, do the following.

  1. Enter the Options menu.
  2. Put the cursor over Demo Viewer, but do NOT press A.
  3. Input the boss code (in 3 seconds, press C six times, then B three
     times, then C four times).  You will hear the "select" tone.
  4. Enter the Demo Viewer, and you will have access to everything.

Enjoy the goodies! :)

5.1.2 - What was lost in the CD conversion
------------------------------------------

A game as lushly detailed and animated as Last Blade was bound to have
some corners cut when it made its way to the CD platform.  Animations
are missing here and there (primarily affecting Kaede more than anyone
else, particularly Awakened Kaede).  There are also some win and prefight
poses that you will not see in the CD version.  By far, the worst cuts
were to the voice samples.  Most characters lost at least 6-7 samples for
their various poses and attacks.  Also, due to memory restrictions, Hyper
Kagami is loaded and selected as a separate character in the CD version.


-------------------------
5.2 - Stuff that's needed
-------------------------

  1. Lists of character win quotes
  2. Profiles of each character (background, physical info if available)
  3. Storyline
  4. Dialogue transcriptions
  5. Color palette descriptions
  6. Voice actor/actress names
