Saki narabunde ikuhyaku no hana

Inochi kakeru kono yo wa yume

Entakenawa ni tada uruwashiku

Toki wa ito wo karamase

The opening starts with a dragon float opening its mouth, emitting dry ice, to reveal Davina Angkahan-Valerio, in a cool cross-armed pose.

Cut to Keiji Maeda, Madoka Kaname and Jamiebel Angkahan twirling their nodachi and bows, respectively, before we zoom to Magoichi Saika, Bayonetta and Crystal Evans on a rotating platform, before they raise their pistols and fire a shot, cueing the confetti cannons.

Zoom out to see the soldiers dancing around the Dragon/Sun float, presumably representing the Eastern Army of the Battle of Sekigahara.

Cut to a tiger float opening its mouth, exuding flames outward, to reveal Jim Eligino, posing with his jumonji (cross spears) thrusted outwards, like a phoenix's wings.

Cut to Mitsunari Ishida's green eyes, narrowing slightly - and zoom out to see him standing alongside Noire's Hard Drive Divinity form, Black Heart, on of a white crescent moon, part of the Tiger/Moon float - representative of the Western Army of said battle. Cut to the full float soon after.

More dancing soldiers, until we see Ieyasu Tokugawa and Neptune's HDD form, Purple Heart, in battle stances. Cut to Ieyasu's eyes - the brown eyes show his courage and faith in bonds.

Cut to Kenshiro, also in a battle-ready stance, akin to karate - behind him is Uzume Tennouboshi, raising her black-and-orange megaphone to the skies, almost like she pierces the heavens.

Cut to Shingen Takeda, merely sitting upright on a chair, arms crossed, then pan over to Kanbei Kuroda, spinning his iron ball around.

Kikkyo o yomitorenai dare kometa akai sora ga

Mukae iza henkaku! To fuunkyuu wo tsugeteku

Ima sugu teni iretai mono wa

Chokusenjou ni wa nakute ni wa nakute

Mada mada, to hoshigaru daremo ga

Kyuukyoku no kemonomichi

Zehi mo naku waku wo koe

Zoom out to the two floats moving toward each other, the dragon float raising its head. Cut to the tiger float's head, with Yukimura Sanada and Jim in the same pose the latter was in earlier.

Over on the dragon's head, Masamune Date, all six of his katanas unleashed, and Davina look down on the Kai pair, who look up on the Oshuu pair. Masamune and Davina leap down over to their rivals, who manage to counter and knock them back onto a platform.

We then pan over to Kojuro Katakura and Marzia Moretti (the latter of whom is not appearing in the full fic, sorry!) charging forth at Sasuke Sarutobi and Santa Cassano, both ready for battle. Kojuro swings his blade a few times, with Sasuke dodging as a ninja would; meanwhile, Marzia swings her hammer at Santa, with the dark-skinned girl parrying with each swing.

Mitsunari then leaps down from his moon - Santa and Sasuke quickly move out of the way - to strike down Marzia, but Bernan Angkahan is there to quickly parry his strike!

Cut to Cirno, dancing and flying around, and using her Perfect Freeze to freeze the incoming enemies all the while.

Cut to Ryuko Matoi and Nepgear, battling away some of the soldiers - Nepgear trips backwards and catches one of the jumonji of Frédéric Loeb, who smirks. Nepgear looks frightened by this predicament - she may have awoken the tiger in the Frenchman!

Saki narabunde ikuhyaku no hana

Ikiru kagiri inochi wa kachi

Omoi no take hikari no gotoshi

Chikara makase yukikau

Cut to Vert's HDD form, Green Heart, sparring with Ieyasu, the latter of which is standing on top of his trusty Hondam, Tadakatsu Honda. The two go blow-for-blow (in rhythm to the beats of the song, no less!), parrying each other's attacks from each direction.

Meanwhile, Yoshitsugu Otani launches a number of spheres downward, before Kotaro Fuuma and Blake Belladonna throw a pair of Demon Wind Shuriken at the spheres, which are set off as fireworks!

Cut to Tsuruhime, admiring the sight, as well as Motochika Chosokabe, Motonari Mori, Marisa Alboreto, Iain Ferguson and Savyna Ferguson. Just as well, more have arrived to witness said fireworks - Ruby Rose, Sayaka Miki, Uni, Alpha Lautani, Enzo Cassano, Nicia Cassano and Kyoko Sakura in one shot...

...followed by Kotetsu Kaburagi, Yang Xiao Long, Weiss Schnee, Blanc, Rom and Ram, Charlotte Haywood, Nacht Kromell, the Twelfth Doctor, Mako Mankanshoku, Mary and Davina in another.

Suddenly, ominous dark fog start to engulf the fireworks being set off. Mary, Davina and the latter's handler, Viggo Ogier, quickly inspect the source: emerging from said fog is a volcano-like float, with flames behind it - a usual sign of villainy.

We zoom in on who is behind the fog - cut to the Five-Bad Band of Roman Torchwick, Arfoire, Hades, Nobunaga Oda and DIO. Behind them, a large triangular-prism tower quickly rises up to the skies, and stops when it reaches the top of the flames.

Saki narabunde

Mai ukarete

"UTAGE - HANA - SAKE" to…!

Standing on the top platform is none other than Davina's phazon-created clone - aptly named Phazon Davina - standing next to the infamous Villain of the Sengoku Period: Hisahide Matsunaga.

Various pairs are in battle-ready stances: Kojuro/Sasuke and Frédéric/Viggo in one shot, Santa/Nicia/Bernan and Charlotte/Nacht in another, and Masamune/Yukimura and Mary/Davina in a third.

Matsunaga and Phazon Davina raise their respective swords to their sides (Matsunaga to the left, Phazon Davina to the right), with one arm each ready to exploderize the group below.

Instead, when they snap their fingers, the fog clears and the largest fireworks display goes off: four skyward fountains, as well as numerous sprinklers and plenty of the regular!
