Summary

Horobi he no Makuake

"Raising the Curtain to Destruction" set in Warriors Orochi

Orochi and his army have conquered the heroes of the two eras, smug in their power over their prey. Orochi commands his men to be merciless in their path for destruction. Da Ji gloats beside him, lavishing the fear in their human opponents. When she quivers in excitement over the chaos they are spreading, he grants her permission to enjoy herself. After she teleports away to act on her impulse, Orochi declares his desires for the current world. He desires for humanity to oppose and surpass him, stating that their march is the prelude to chaos. He ends the track with an order for his army to continue their endless slaughter.

"The Next Move" set in Warriors Orochi

Da Ji establishes that Cao Cao was able to flee from their attack due to Zhou Yu's interference. Cao Pi makes no excuses for the oversight, so she prods that she could have overestimated his capabilities. Mitsunari agrees with her, analyzing Zhou Yu to be far more talented than Cao Pi. Da Ji chooses to buy the assessment for now and decides to change the topic. She warns Cao Pi he will be shown no mercy in the slightest chance he betrays Orochi. Slyly insisting that it is only a possibility, she informs Mitsunari to alert her if Cao Pi is being the slightest bit deceitful to her. Da Ji instructs Cao Pi to do the same if the roles happen to be reversed. Both men answer her with blunt contempt for one another, which is enough to appease her. Da Ji playfully tells them to keep up the good work before teleporting away.

Once she is gone, Mitsunari patronizes Cao Pi on his sloppiness. Da Ji was able to suspect him because he was too obvious in permitting Sun Ce's escape. Even if it seems distrustful, Cao Pi adamantly insists her thoughts doesn't matter. He states the act of mercy made Wu a valuable pawn for him to use. He returns the bitter criticism with his own accusation: he didn't need or ask for Mitsunari to step in and try to justify his actions to Da Ji. Mitsunari retorts that he is merely acting as he pleases, contending that he didn't do it to defend Cao Pi. At last, the two men agree that they are acting of their own accord and threaten the other to not interfere.

Mitsunari reminds him that they have been ordered to work together; Cao Pi scoffs for him to do whatever he likes. He is heading towards their next location, Yiling. Mitsunari remembers the rebels who are present within the area, quickly catching onto Cao Pi's intentions. He scathingly retorts that the battle will be a true test of Cao Pi's leadership, adding his displeasure at the idea of working under him. Cao Pi returns the resentments in kind, insulting the reckless abandon seen in Mitsunari's lone activities in the field. Mitsunari returns that it is profitable to rely on his own strength if it means ignoring the stupidity of others.

The audience is then entreated to each character's introspective thoughts. Mitsunari finds Cao Pi a stubborn one, unable to fully grasp what he is thinking. He wants to someday overthrow Orochi, yet he still can't trust his companion yet. Despite his distrust, he does admit that Cao Pi is capable and could prove to be a valuable asset for him. Cao Pi deems Mitsunari a superficial pretty boy who foolishly thinks he can do everything alone. Regardless of his disdainful opinion, he does admit that there can be merit in Mitsunari's randomness, which could be useful to him –as long as he isn't a complete idiot. The track ends with the two men leaving for Yiling.

"Because They are Human" set in Warriors Orochi 2

The track begins with Taigong Wang deprecating Da Ji and Kiyomori. As he contemplates how he should deal with their individual schemes, he spies Sakon and Kanetsugu's forces riding from a distance. He believes he may learn something new from them and decides to discreetly listen to their conversation.

Sakon suggests that their army takes a break. Kanetsugu protests that they are in a hurry yet sees merit in Sakon's reasoning that a tired army will do no one any good. He hails for the men to rest, the horses halting with the men's approval. Sakon and Kanetsugu dismount for a private chat.

After they sit, Sakon immediately brings up Masamune and how even the great Shingen failed to convince him to join their side. He is wondering why the youth insists on his loyalty and sympathies when Orochi was allegedly killed in their last great battle with him. Kanetsugu refutes there is nothing redeeming for a villain who threatens to eradicate all human life, but Sakon counters that isn't how Masamune sees it. He explains the youth is rather forward with his actions, believing that the youth is purely attracted to whatever good he saw in Orochi. Yet, because Masamune's will is so pure, Sakon deems it also makes him easy to deceive. Kanetsugu is aware of this and agrees that that is why he wishes to save the general. The elder general mentions Keiji's continued loyalty to Orochi to present a parallel to his observation of Masamune, remarking that the wild one is in the same boat. Both generals agree that the two Orochi loyalists aren't daft or easily fooled by Da Ji, which causes Sakon to wonder what exactly draws them to have such faith in the serpent king. If they can figure what it is, he hopes they can use it to negotiate an allegiance with Masamune.

They sink into silence, remembering their previous encounter with the one-eyed general. Both remember his ardent proclamations for Orochi's favor. Sakon picks on the general's remark that a man of his caliber would never submit to those who don't understand Orochi. He ponders on what drove him to mention his capabilities as the cause, knowing that they could easily overpower the general if they had desired. He can't place his finger on Orochi's influence over him. Kanetsugu had offered a path of honor to Masamune, and the general had proclaimed he would rather choose of path of endless bloodshed. He worries if the Date leader has been driven to insanity. Masamune shouts that Orochi's rule is just and that humanity are the true evildoers, sentiments which Kanetsugu can't comprehend. Orochi is evil because he wishes to destroy, Kanetsugu believes, not the other way around.

He is so focused on his thoughts that he doesn't immediately hear Sakon calling for him. When he humbly snaps back to attention, Sakon comments that it's a conundrum they likely won't solve any time soon. He shrugs it off, offering that they focus on moving forward in the present. Kanetsugu presents the possibility of Masamune someday realizing the error of his ways. While skeptic over whether Masamune will ever admit to have been mistaken, Sakon agrees with Kanetsugu's hope of someday reuniting with the general as true allies. People, he observes, will doubt themselves. Doubting oneself will eventually grant them the strength to overcome their uncertainties. Kanetsugu can't trust in Masamune's character, but he can believe in his return. Both men agree to leave Masamune be, invigorated to keep riding to their next destination to stop Orochi's resurrection.

Taigong Wang retorts that the other members of humanity, aside from those in Liu Bei's unit, have failed to convince Orochi's followers to lay down their arms. He deems it necessary for him to join them in the battlefield to finish the job properly. Even with his exasperation, he is fascinated by humanity's endless perseverance. He jokes that he isn't the only one who has been "poisoned" by an inexplicable attraction, amused by humanity's honest charisma.

"Time for Decisiveness" set in Warriors Orochi 3

Reflecting briefly on the past, Sima Zhao is confident that this time humanity stands a chance in their united numbers. They were in despair before, but this time there is fresh hope. Sakon greets and agrees with him, complementing on the strength built on their ties of friendship. Susano'o, who still doesn't believe in their cause, has Sima Zhao worried since the deity has ignored them and has targeted Hydra directly.

Sakon informs him that Hefei, which is currently protected by Lu Xun, lies along their path. He intricately explains that the youth must be dealt with until Xiahou Dun roughly barges in to report that Cao Pi's unit is already on the case. Taking the interruption in stride, he adds that Mitsunari is absent to provide him assistance. Sima Zhao wants to be confident in their success, but he is concerned that Wu and Wei's past antagonistic ties for one another and Lu Xun's seriousness will drive a wedge between them. He thinks the two rough generals may be responsible for a troublesome misunderstanding rather than an easy truce. Sakon laughs at his good humor before assuring his confidence in Lu Xun's judgment. He believes the youth will focus on the greater good. Based on their past experiences working together, Xiahou Dun and Sakon voice their profound belief in their respective lords' success. Assured by their words, Sima Zhao feels confident to focus on the task which lies before them.

Meanwhile, at Hefei, Lu Xun's subordinate urgently reports that their defenses are crumbling around them and their position at Hefei Castle is dire. The young general winces at the ill news, a reaction which earns him Mitsunari's scorn. Noticing Cao Pi beside him, Lu Xun and his subordinate deftly arm themselves. His subordinate attacks but is dully deflected by Mitsunari. Cao Pi openly states they are not his enemies, insisting that Lu Xun prove his fierce intellect to him. Mitsunari refuses to offer an explanation for their visit and focuses on his observation that Hefei is undermanned without their help. He implies that it's a problem shared by all of humanity, which Lu Xun correctly interprets as a call for an alliance.

As both Cao Pi and Mitsunari persist to hear his answer, Lu Xun ponders on the circumstances of their abrupt visit. Through his various meanderings, he regrettably puts aside his distrust for Cao Pi and realizes that they aren't lying to him. He eventually calculates that it would be most prudent for humanity's future to agree to join them. Once his mind is set, he immediately orders they commence their counteroffensive (which is the same as the one found in the game). Mitsunari is impressed by his decisiveness; Cao Pi smugly adds that he should be, since it was the mind who once posed a great threat for Wei. A revitalized Lu Xun ushers the trio to move out.
