Instead of taking my second practice Algebra exam, I watched
this.And now I am thinking of Suwako leading her troops in the Suwa War to certain death against Kanako's armies. IT WILL BE MANLY AND FUCKAWESOME.
Fuck YEAH let's go write it right NOW
She met her men eye to eye, pacing up and down their lines.
Like a queen, she thought to herself.
So my bearing must be... Like the goddess I am."You have come this far, with me, have you not?" she yelled out at her men. "You have lost much! It has not been an easy path!"
A low murmur of assent.
Come on, Suwako thought.
Come on! "Kanako has driven us into this corner! Here and now is our last stand against her men! You have fought along side one another for years now, and you KNOW that this is our final battle! We are completely outnumbered, my men! Completely outnumbered! Kanako's army outnumbers the grains of sand, the soil of the earth, the very stars of the sky!"
A tremor passed through them.
"BUT HERE!" she screamed out, reaching up and tearing off her hat with a viciousness unmatched. "But here we shall FIGHT! And we shall DIE! And we shall STAIN THE GROUND RED WITH OUR BLOOD! And they will KNOW!" She pointed over the field, at the armies of men, at the goddess before them. "And they will KNOW that you were MEN! That you did not flee, turn tail, run! That your loyalty to your god empress is dearest to your hearts!"
A few yells of agreement. A few scattered shouts.
"You have FAMILIES!" she declared, taking a gamble. "You have FAMILIES! You have sons and daughters, loved ones and dear ones! I tell you now: They shall never forget this day! The day that their fathers became MEN! The day that they marched against the Serpent's armies and perished! The day that not even death could take away their burning passion for FREEDOM and RIGHTEOUSNESS!"
A collective shout of joy this time.
"On this day," she said, pointing down at the ground. "The rivers will run red with your blood-- But the OCEANS will not contain theirs!" She pointed her sword at the enemy across the fields. "You will DIE here! But you will never be FORGOTTEN! And you shall not live forever on your knees, prostrated before Kanako and her infidels! You shall die on your FEET, as MEN! You will die as the LIONS that you are!"
"Stand up and FIGHT, men! STAND UP AND FIGHT! And let this day forever be marked in history as the day of the Moriya Army's last stand, THE DAY THAT WE LOST OUR LIVES FOR THE SAKE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! STAND UP AND FIGHT! Together we shall win a gloriously bloody victory in our hearts! Our swords are sharp, our will is as strong as IRON! On this day, WE SHALL MEET KANAKO HEAD-ON, and SHE WILL SEE THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE HERE THAT WILL FIGHT HER TO THE BITTER END!"
She took a breath, and was nearly blown away. For before her, her entire army-- this whole rag-tag army, driven to tears and sweat, to the brink of defeat-- had burst out in clamorous cheers of joy. Joy, in the face of death! But they were not going to die here, she realized. And with a feeling of ecstatic happiness in her heart, she told them so--
"YOU WILL NOT DIE HERE THIS DAY! FOR A MAN IS NOT DEAD UNTIL HE IS FORGOTTEN! AND NO ONE SHALL EVER FORGET THIS DAY! THE DAY HAS COME, MY MEN! LET US MAKE HER TASTE BLOOD IN HER MOUTH! LET US SHOW KANAKO WHAT AN ARMY OF
MEN CAN DO FOR THE SAKE OF THE RIGHT!"
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!" And then they charged across the field like lightning, Suwako at their head, her iron rings feeling lighter and lighter with each passing second around her arms, her hat blown off into the wind, her sword pointed at Kanako, a grin on her face--
"VICTORY OR DEAAAAAAAAAAAATH!"
... oh, Shikieiki's speech to her army in White Rose will now be awesome. I finally know what to write!
And now I must fight and dodge and dance around my enemies. Enough with Touhou. I want my freakin' huge, fast-approaching battleships and my delicious robo-maid. Enough with the loli shit and fangasms, I want to blast spaceships and mecha out of orbit with my beloved VIVIT. With HER, I shall DESTROY the amies of Mars that DARE to set foot upon this EARTH, THIS BEAUTIFUL
BLUE-GREEN PARADISE!
And this is why Ban Shi Ryuu is awesome.
