[00:31] Gu
    Did I fight to the end?
[00:39] Gu
    Did I do the best I could?
SIGN    A Few Days Ago
[02:22] Gu
    Sir, at least take off our handcuffs!
[02:27] Gu
    If we fall overboard like this, we're doomed!
[02:30] Gu
    There's no need to show mercy to the exiles.
[02:34] Gu
    Indeed.
[02:35] Gu
    We're not gonna run away
    in the middle of the ocean!
[02:41] Gu
    Pathetic... I was once the
    richest man in Hakozaki,
[02:44] Gu
    and now I'm exiled along with this scum...
SIGN    Former Retainer of the Kamakura Shogunate
    Kuchii Jinzaburou
[02:50] Gu
    We're gonna die!
[02:52] Gu
    No!
[02:54] Gu
    Please, sir!
[02:57] Gu
    We're not going to run now!
[03:00] Gu
    Very well.
[03:02] Gu
    Take off their handcuffs.
[03:03] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:05] Gu
    Thank you!
[03:07] Gu
    We'll never forget this.
[03:08] Gu
    We owe you one!
[03:10] Gu
    I wouldn't have done that.
[03:12] Gu
    What?
[03:14] Gu
    Do you still think you're a noble's servant?
[03:17] Gu
    You're just a pitiful prisoner now!
[03:27] Gu
    Let's do this, guys!
[03:32] Gu
    Don't mess with Haejirou's gang!
[03:34] Gu
    This no-name bureaucrat's going
    to the bottom of the sea!
[03:42] Gu
    There're too many people on this ship.
[03:44] Gu
    Should we offer them to Wadatsumi-sama,
    the god of the sea, too?
[03:55] Gu
    This is great!
[03:57] Gu
    Save me!
[03:59] Gu
    Please! I have money!
[04:01] Gu
    I buried it before I came here!
[04:18] Gu
    Damn you!
[04:30] Gu
    Don't mess with us!
[04:41] Gu
    You, seamen! Helmsmen!
[04:45] Gu
    If you want to survive, get to work.
[04:47] Gu
    Take us to the island!
[04:52] Gu
    Wow... What was that?
[04:54] Gu
    He was like a demon god...
[04:57] Gu
    He ain't nothing so fancy.
[05:00] Gu
    Hey, Kuchii Jinzaburou!
[05:02] Gu
    You look pathetic!
[05:05] Gu
    Just two years ago, you were a proud general,
[05:07] Gu
    leading the war against the pirates!
[05:11] Gu
    Oh, I see.
[05:12] Gu
    You're one of the pirates I captured.
SIGN    Onitakemaru
[05:15] Gu
    I wondered why you were being so friendly.
[05:17] Gu
    What?
[05:18] Gu
    Did you forget me?
[05:20] Gu
    I am Onitakemaru,
    the greatest pirate in the land!
[05:23] Gu
    I can't even count how many
    pirates I've defeated.
[05:33] Gu
    We can talk about old times later.
[05:35] Gu
    For now, focus on getting us to the island.
[05:39] Gu
    I'll get you eventually.
[05:44] Gu
    Hey, we're raising the mast!
[05:47] Gu
    You're crazy! Not in this wind!
[05:50] Gu
    When I stick something big in a hole,
    I don't stop until I'm done!
[06:21] Gu
    We finally made it.
[06:23] Gu
    Yeah.
[06:27] Gu
    That's Tsushima.
[06:29] Gu
    It looks better than I expected it would.
[06:32] Gu
    It's supposed to be the
    very far end of Japan,
[06:34] Gu
    so I wondered what I was
    getting myself into, but...
[06:38] Gu
    What is it?
[06:40] Gu
    Nothing.
[06:42] Gu
    A great shark!
[06:45] Gu
    A white shark, huh?
[06:49] Gi
    That's an umisachihiko.
[06:52] Gi
    It's been three years since
    I've seen one myself.
[06:54] Gi
    What a surprise.
[06:56] Gi
    The island must be welcoming
    our newest group of exiles.
[07:01] Gu
    How beautiful!
[07:03] Gu
    Welcome to Tsushima!
[07:06] Gu
    I am the daughter of Sou Sukekuni,
    the ruler of this island.
[07:09] Gu
    My name is Teruhi.
SIGN    Daughter of Sou Sukekuni, The Local Ruler
    Princess Teruhi
[07:11] Gu
    I have come to welcome you all.
[07:13] Gu
    You've spent two days aboard
    your boat since leaving Hakata.
[07:16] Gu
    You must be tired.
[07:18] Gu
    We've prepared to a small
    banquet to welcome you.
[07:22] Gu
    Come this way...
[07:26] Gu
    Why even think about it?
[07:28] Gu
    We exiles have nowhere else to go.
[07:31] Gu
    Let's do what Momotarou did, and go have a
    huge party with Otohime at Ryuuguu Palace.
[07:40] Gu
    That was Urashima Tarou.
[07:55] Gu
    This is great!
[07:57] Gu
    It's been two days since I've had food!
[07:59] Gu
    I'm so glad I survived!
[08:02] Gu
    They're all so tough...
SIGN    Chouminpuku
[08:04] Gu
    I'm still barely able to stand,
[08:07] Gu
    and my stomach feels awful...
[08:09] Gu
    Rich man.
[08:11] Gu
    Eat up, even if you don't want to.
[08:13] Gu
    We don't know what's coming tomorrow.
[08:16] Gi
    Exiles...
[08:20] Gi
    Is the food to your liking?
[08:22] Gu
    Otohime-sama!
[08:24] Gu
    Come here and pour me a drink!
[08:26] Gu
    Princess Teruhi of the Sou clan, right?
[08:29] Gu
    Let's hear what this is about.
[08:31] GI
    You're Kuchii Jinzaburou-sama,
[08:33] GI
    formerly in the service of
    the Kamakura, correct?
[08:38] GI
    What do you mean by that, exactly?
[08:41] Gu
    There's no way you didn't
    notice that there was nobody
[08:43] Gu
    from the government aboard that ship.
[08:45] Gu
    And yet we're being warmly welcomed.
[08:47] Gu
    There must be some reason.
[08:50] Gi
    Not at all, Kuchii-sama.
[08:53] Gi
    We simply wish that all of you will fight with
[08:57] Gi
    all your strength for
    the sake of this island.
[09:01] Gu
    Fight?
[09:03] Gu
    Fight what?
[09:06] Gi
    The Mukuri.
[09:09] Gu
    Mukuri? The Mongolians?
[09:12] Gi
    You must have heard the rumors, I'm sure,
[09:15] Gi
    about a vast army of Mukuri invading
    the land of the rising sun.
[09:20] Gi
    They are almost upon us.
[09:23] Gi
    I am told the Gappo inlet in Goryeo
    is covered with thousands of warships.
SIGN    Goryeo Gappo
[09:30] Gi
    Their first target will be Tsushima.
[09:35] Gu
    So you asked the Kamakura to exile anybody
    who could help in a war to this place?
[09:41] Gi
    We submitted an official request
    through the Dazaifu magistrate,
[09:44] Gi
    which they could not refuse.
[09:45] Gi
    You were all to be put to death to begin with.
[09:50] Gi
    In other words...
[09:52] Gi
    We saved your lives.
[10:03] Gu
    I thought it was something like this.
[10:05] Gu
    Hell no!
[10:07] Gu
    This is no different than being put to death!
[10:09] Gu
    You bitch! I'll make you pay for—
[10:19] Gi
    Now, all of you...
[10:22] Gi
    Die for the sake of Tsushima.
[10:31] Gu
    The alcohol wore off.
[10:32] Gu
    Fight the Mongolians?
[10:34] Gu
    That's insane.
[10:35] Gu
    Are they really going to attack?
[10:38] Gu
    Not after all this time.
[10:40] Gu
    I heard a rumor an ambassador of theirs
    came to us about three years ago,
[10:43] Gu
    and then nothing.
[10:44] Gu
    Kuchii-dono, what will you do?
[10:47] Gu
    Will you join the island's army and fight?
[10:50] Gu
    I don't know.
[10:53] Gu
    But I figured something had to be up.
[10:57] Gu
    I wouldn't normally get off
    with just exile for what I did.
[11:00] Gu
    It's the same for you all, right?
[11:24] Gi
    You did well to endure all that, Princess.
[11:28] Gi
    Otaki.
[11:30] Gi
    I don't like murder.
[11:32] Gi
    No, this is only the beginning, I'm sure.
[11:35] Gi
    Once the war starts, even more will...
[11:39] Gi
    The bath is ready.
[11:41] Gi
    Warm yourself and calm down.
[11:57] Gi
    By the way, where is this Tsushima place?
[12:01] Gi
    You know, monk?
[12:02] Gi
    No.
[12:03] Gi
    I don't know much about faraway lands.
[12:06] Gi
    You?
[12:07] Gi
    It's my first time outside
    the land I was born in.
[12:11] Gi
    Hey, you old geezer. Do you know?
[12:14] Gi
    Who do you think you're talking to, brat?
[12:16] Gi
    I'm a merchant, unlike you country hicks!
[12:20] Gi
    I owned a map of Japan.
[12:23] Gi
    The island of Tsushima is on the right side,
SIGN    Hakata
SIGN    Iki
SIGN    Tsushima
SIGN    Goryeo
[12:26] Gi
    that is, the west side,
[12:28] Gi
    in between Goryeo and Kyuushuu.
[12:31] Gi
    So when merchant ships travel
    between Goryeo and Hakata,
[12:35] Gi
    they first pass through Tsushima.
[12:38] Gi
    I never imagined I'd be here
    under such circumstances, though.
[12:43] Gi
    It's all the fault of those eastern
    barbarians in the Kamakura.
[12:48] Gi
    The way they run their government...
[12:51] Gi
    Right, right.
[12:53] Gi
    If the Mongolian Navy is truly on its way,
[12:56] Gi
    it's true that this island
    will be their first stop.
[12:59] Gi
    But that doesn't make
[13:01] Gi
    the idea of dying in a place you've
    got nothing to do with any less scary.
[13:06] Gi
    So now I'm a prisoner, sent all the way
    to the end of Japan to fight a war...
[13:12] Gi
    No matter where I go, it's another war...
[13:39] Gi
    What will happen to Tsushima?
[13:43] Gi
    Will the Mukuri take it?
[13:45] Gi
    The land, the people?
[13:48] Gi
    No, maybe the Mukuri will never come.
[13:53] Gi
    Maybe we're doing this for nothing...
[13:57] Gi
    Otaki, you get some rest, as well.
[14:00] Gi
    Very well.
[14:06] Gi
    I'm no good...
[14:09] Gi
    I ran again.
[14:11] Gi
    If someone throws a stone at
    you, you can close your eyes,
[14:14] Gi
    but it will still hit you...
[14:19] Gi
    Princess!
[14:21] Gi
    Princess, run—
[14:23] Gi
    Otaki?!
[14:31] Gi
    Princess!
[14:32] Gi
    Run—
[14:47] Gi
    Intruders!
[14:49] Gi
    The princess!
[14:50] Gi
    Hurry!
[14:51] Gi
    Hilarious. The guards left.
[14:54] Gi
    They're so disorganized...
[14:56] Gi
    But it's perfect for us.
[15:00] Gi
    Somebody's trying to get
    into the princess's bed?
[15:03] Gi
    The noise is coming from over there.
[15:05] Gi
    The soldiers are just
    running around helpless.
[15:07] Gi
    You can see them?
[15:08] Gi
    Yeah.
[15:10] Gi
    I can see at night.
[15:13] Gi
    Well, either way, it's good news for us.
[15:16] Gi
    Heaven has favored us.
[15:17] Gi
    The Buddha is on our side.
[15:19] Gi
    Let's raid the fisherman's homes and have
    them send us back to Hakata by boat!
[15:23] Gi
    Wait, you're going to try and cross
    those awful seas in a fisherman's boat?
[15:27] Gi
    They say that one out of three of the
    bigger ships don't survive the trip.
[15:31] Gi
    You might be better off
    fighting the Mongolians.
[15:33] Gi
    You just want to fight a war, don't you?
[15:37] Gi
    Don't be stupid.
[15:38] Gi
    What would be in it for me?
[15:39] Gi
    I don't know...
[15:41] Gi
    You look like a dog that's found its prey.
[15:45] Gi
    So do you.
[15:46] Gi
    The three of us will be splitting up.
[15:49] Gi
    We're bandits and mountain monks.
[15:51] Gi
    We can hide in the mountains
    if we can't take a boat.
[15:53] Gi
    Well, you guys...
[15:54] Gi
    Farewell.
[15:55] Gi
    Yeah.
[15:57] Gi
    Now, I'm going to kill some time...
[16:01] Gi
    by burning this whole place to the ground.
[16:07] Gi
    Look carefully!
[16:08] Gi
    The intruders are somewhere in this darkness.
[16:11] Gi
    Find them!
[16:12] Gi
    I have shamed myself!
SIGN    Princess Teruhi's Servant
    Kaitani Gontarou
[16:14] Gi
    Our lord entrusted me with the princess, but...
[16:19] Gi
    The exiles? Curse them!
[16:22] Gi
    Rebelling now, of all times!
[16:24] Gi
    Gontarou-dono, look!
[16:27] Gi
    That's her!
[16:28] Gi
    Over there!
[16:30] Gi
    The fire helped us!
[16:32] Gi
    Princess, I'm coming!
[16:35] Gi
    We're heading to the beach, fast.
[16:36] Gi
    Get close to the hostage.
    They can't shoot at her.
[16:40] Gi
    A foreign language...
[16:42] Gu
    There are only six of them!
[16:43] Gu
    Don't use your bows!
[16:45] Gu
    Get around them and surround them!
[16:52] Gu
    They're skilled warriors?!
[16:54] Gu
    Pathetic.
[17:07] Gu
    Not bad, I guess.
[17:26] Gu
    So that's the warrior from the east?
[17:29] Gu
    He uses the Gikei style.
[17:31] Gu
    Gikei?
[17:32] Gu
    I've heard rumors of it.
[17:34] Gu
    Gikei is the style used by Yoshitsune.
[17:38] Gu
    A style of fighting created
    by the great general
[17:40] Gu
    of the Genji a century ago,
    Genkurou Yoshitsune.
[17:45] Gu
    Genkurou Yoshitsune?
[17:58] Gu
    This one's...
[18:34] Gu
    So you use the Gikei style, as well?
[18:58] Gu
    Foreign ships?
[19:04] Gu
    Who was that?
[19:08] Gu
    In the end, you wound up getting involved.
[19:12] Gu
    Well, it doesn't matter to me,
    as long as it's fun.
[19:17] Gu
    I'm not like you.
[19:41] Gi
    Otaki, I'm sorry.
[19:43] Gi
    You must have suffered so much...
[19:48] Gi
    All of these people were born
    and raised on this island.
[19:51] Gi
    I've known them all since I was a child.
[19:58] Gi
    Gontarou?
[20:00] Gi
    Give them a proper burial.
[20:03] Gi
    War is a sad thing.
[20:06] Gu
    War?
[20:07] Gu
    Fool, this was just a little scrap.
[20:10] Gu
    War is a whole different beast.
[20:13] Gu
    It takes more people, more resources,
    and a stronger mind.
[20:19] Gu
    You don't know a damn thing,
[20:21] Gu
    so I don't know where you get off
    telling others to fight for you.
[20:25] Gu
    But everyone here did the best
    they could before they died.
[20:30] Gu
    I won't say they're happy about it,
[20:32] Gu
    but I'm sure they have no regrets.
[20:37] Gu
    Do you have the stomach to be the
    person they'd want you to be?
[20:46] Gi
    I have a duty...
[20:49] Gi
    to protect this island and the people on it.
[20:55] Gi
    I won't lose anyone else!
[20:58] Gi
    And you're going to work hard
    to help me, Kuchii Jinzaburou!
[21:04] Gi
    You did well last night.
[21:07] Gi
    I shall give you a reward later.
[21:13] Gu
    That's great.
[21:15] Gu
    The famous Kuchii Jinzaburou-sama,
    receiving a reward from a little girl.
[21:20] Gi
    I'm not famous at all.
[21:23] Gi
    Princess!
[21:25] Gi
    Kano?
[21:26] Gi
    You're supposed to be at the capital!
SIGN    Princess Teruhi's Servant
    Kano
[21:28] Gi
    They're coming!
[21:31] Gi
    A message from from
    the ones watching Goryeo.
[21:36] Gi
    Warships are leaving Gappo
    port one after another.
[21:41] Gi
    The Mongolians are coming!
[21:45] Gi
    October 3rd. The 11th year of the Bun'ei era.
[21:50] Gi
    900 Mongolian warships that
    had been filling Gappo bay in Goryeo
[21:56] Gi
    all weighed anchor at once...
[22:01] Gi
    The eastern expedition of the
    Mongolian Empire had begun.
