SIGN    Episode 12: The Best You Can Do
[00:16] Gu
    What? Are you all done?
[00:22] Gu
    Then you never need
    to rise to the surface again.
[00:26] Gu
    Come with me... Let go of everything...
[00:29] Gu
    Your war is over.
[00:32] Gu
    Now slowly sink into the depths.
[02:11] Gi
    No... Jinzaburou!
[02:15] Gu
    Mister...
[02:18] Gu
    Help us, Tendou-sama!
[02:21] Gu
    All the rest are worthless.
[02:23] Gu
    Murder them all!
[02:27] Gu
    Damn it!
[02:28] Gu
    Avenge him!
[03:02] Gi
    It's over...
[03:06] Gi
    Oh, heavens...
[03:08] Gi
    Why have you...
[03:13] Gu
    Princess, stand up!
[03:17] Gi
    It's finished.
[03:19] Gi
    It doesn't matter now.
[03:20] Gu
    What are you saying?
[03:22] Gu
    Remember the emperor's words!
[03:24] Gu
    If even one of us survives, we win!
[03:27] Gi
    None of us will survive.
[03:29] Gi
    Jinzaburou is dead.
[03:32] Gi
    What can we do on our own?
[03:34] Gu
    He... Kuchii Jinzaburou...
[03:36] Gu
    wouldn't die from such a thing.
[03:39] Gi
    He died in an explosion!
    There's nothing left!
[03:43] Gu
    No, I saw him fall into the sea.
[03:46] Gi
    Is that true?
[03:47] Gi
    Is that true, Gontarou?
[03:49] Gu
    Yes...
[03:51] Gu
    Gontarou, there's a way out.
[03:54] Gu
    This way, everyone!
[03:59] Gu
    There's a small cave
    past this plain of ferns.
[04:03] Gu
    It's too small for grown-ups to enter.
[04:05] Gu
    We can rest there.
[04:09] Gu
    Nice and easy.
[04:13] Gu
    They're coming this way, searching
    the ground beneath their feet.
[04:15] Gi
    Do we turn back?
[04:18] Gu
    Impossible.
[04:19] Gu
    They're behind us, as well.
[04:22] Gu
    I'll just fling this at them...
[04:25] Gu
    But I need a fire!
[04:31] Gu
    Listen carefully, Sana.
[04:33] Gu
    I'm going to stick
    this explosive inside the fire.
[04:36] Gu
    When it blows up,
    it will distract the Mongols.
[04:40] Gu
    When that happens, run straight ahead.
[04:42] Gu
    I'll jump into the sea to escape
[04:44] Gu
    and meet up with you when it's dark.
[04:46] Gi
    Amushi...
[04:49] Gi
    Do you regret not leaving
    the island last night on that ship?
[04:55] Gu
    Is now the time?
[04:56] Gi
    Now is the only time!
[04:58] Gi
    I want to know because of
    everything that's going on.
[05:01] Gu
    Nobody's left for me
    in the capital city of Kyoto.
[05:06] Gu
    Maybe this will be my new capital.
[05:12] Gu
    Okay, off I go.
[05:14] Gu
    Stay sharp.
[05:22] Gu
    Japanese!
[05:24] Gu
    Idiot!
[05:25] Gu
    Stupid brat...
[05:28] Gu
    Amushi!
[05:30] Gu
    Get off me!
[05:34] Gu
    Don't underestimate me.
[05:36] Gu
    Would they send a normal kid
    into the middle of nowhere like this?
[05:39] Gu
    After him!
[05:40] Gu
    Don't let him get away!
[05:41] Gu
    Where's Sana?
[05:44] Gi
    Amushi!
[05:52] Gu
    Is that you, Sana?
[05:55] Gu
    She's like a fish...
[05:57] Gu
    She's so... pretty...
[06:04] Gi
    Amushi!
[06:12] Gu
    We're fine. Let's keep going.
[06:14] Gu
    The Mongols won't come
    this far to smoke us out.
[06:20] Gu
    Is someone there?
[06:25] Gu
    Gontarou!
[06:27] Gu
    Mongols!
[06:29] Gu
    Damn you!
[06:33] Gu
    Open a path!
[06:35] Gu
    The princess is coming through!
[06:38] Gu
    Kaitani-dono!
[06:41] Gu
    Wha—
[06:49] Gu
    I can still fight!
[06:57] Gi
    Gontarou!
[07:03] Gu
    Kano...
[07:06] Gu
    Protect...
[07:08] Gu
    the princess...
[07:14] Gi
    I will...
[07:19] Gu
    Gontarou!
[07:22] Gi
    Princess, this way!
[07:25] Gu
    Wait!
[07:26] Gu
    Gontarou is still...
[07:38] Gu
    Kano...?
[07:40] Gu
    What's wrong?
[07:42] Gu
    Princess...
[07:46] Gu
    What are you—
[07:47] Gu
    This is the end!
[07:51] Gu
    Please forgive me, Princess!
[07:55] ---
    Ka...no...
[08:01] Gu
    Wait...
[08:02] Gu
    Jinzaburou may still be alive!
[08:06] Gu
    At least... at least let me
    see him again, one more time!
[08:27] Gu
    Search this area for Japanese!
[08:30] Gi
    Over here!
[08:32] Gu
    A woman!
[08:33] Gu
    Don't hurt her!
[08:41] Gu
    Damn you!
SIGN    —Kamakura, four years ago
SIGN    Kuchii Household
[09:01] (Flashback) Gi
    Mother, will it bear fruit next year?
[09:05] (Flashback) Gi
    Maybe. I hope it does soon.
[09:08] (Flashback) Gi
    Give me a whole basket full, okay?
[09:12] (Flashback) Gu
    Do not plant trees
    in the mansion of the Kuchii!
[09:18] (Flashback) Gu
    Don't let a girl play with the soil.
[09:20] (Flashback) Gi
    I'm sorry.
[09:22] (Flashback) Gi
    Goodbye.
[09:30] (Flashback) Gu
    You would disobey your father, then?
[09:32] (Flashback) Gi
    I-I'll do the best I can...
[09:36] (Flashback) Gi
    Th-That's what you always say!
[09:38] (Flashback) Gi
    You say that's how a samurai must be!
[09:43] (Flashback) Gi
    This persimmon tree is my dear friend!
[09:47] (Flashback) Gi
    I'll do the best I can to protect it!
[09:52] (Flashback) Gu
    So you'll do the best you can
    to protect that one spot?
[09:58] (Flashback) Gu
    It won't be easy.
[09:59] (Flashback) Gu
    You won't be able to complain,
    even if I strike you down where you stand!
[10:06] (Flashback) Gi
    I understand...
[10:08] (Flashback) Gi
    I won't move until the persimmon blossoms!
[10:12] (Flashback) Gu
    Very well.
[10:13] (Flashback) Gu
    You won't take that back, will you?
[10:15] (Flashback) Gu
    If you can do it, that spot will be yours.
[10:24] (Flashback) Gi
    I'm not scared...
[10:30] (Flashback) Gu
    There's someone there.
[10:32] (Flashback) Gu
    What? A kid?
[10:36] (Flashback) Gi
    Intruders!
[10:38] (Flashback) Gu
    Damn it! Shut her up!
[10:47] (Flashback) Gu
    Did you know this was the mansion
    of Kuchii Jinzaburou when you came in?
[10:51] (Flashback) Gu
    Be careful.
[10:52] (Flashback) Gu
    He's a master of the Gikei-style sword.
[10:54] (Flashback) Gu
    Sword?
[10:56] (Flashback) Gu
    All I need is this bamboo to defeat you!
[11:03] (Flashback) Gu
    If they're thieves,
    take them to the garrison.
[11:05] (Flashback) Gu
    If they're assassins,
    kill them where they stand.
[11:06] (Flashback) Gu
    Yes, sir.
[11:11] (Flashback) Gu
    Do you understand now?
[11:13] (Flashback) Gu
    Sometimes, we get intruders like that.
[11:15] (Flashback) Gu
    Trees give them a place to hide.
[11:19] (Flashback) Gi
    I understand...
[11:21] (Flashback) Gi
    But...
[11:22] (Flashback) Gi
    This persimmon... You promised!
[11:29] (Flashback) Gu
    That's right...
[11:30] (Flashback) Gu
    You protected it to the end.
[11:35] (Flashback) Gu
    Keep protecting that one place.
[11:41] (Flashback) Gu
    But for today, come inside and rest.
[11:48] (Flashback) Gu
    You kept that up every day, huh?
[11:51] (Flashback) Gi
    Yes, Father.
[11:54] (Flashback) Gi
    I did my best!
[12:25] Gu
    Foolish child of man...
[12:48] Gu
    I'm alive...
[12:49] Gu
    I survived?
[12:53] Gu
    I didn't die...
[12:56] Gu
    I can still fight!
[14:04] Gu
    You're that...
[14:07] Gu
    You survived?
[14:10] Gu
    I found you...
[14:12] Gu
    You killed my father!
[14:14] Gu
    This time, I'll kill you in a fair fight,
[14:19] Gu
    like my father tried to do!
[14:31] Gu
    That's right.
[14:33] Gu
    That's what you should do.
[14:34] Gu
    Avenge your father.
[14:36] Gu
    That is the war you chose.
[14:39] Gu
    And it's up to you and no one else
    when your war is over.
[14:44] Gu
    Even if it's the end of the world.
[14:49] Gu
    If you don't know how to use your sword,
    you can't even cut a shirt.
[14:54] Gu
    Watch this, kid.
[14:58] Gu
    I'll show you how it's done.
[15:03] Gu
    We didn't get much for all that effort.
[15:07] Gu
    We weren't expecting to.
[15:10] Gu
    The goal was to get experience
    for our soldiers.
[15:13] Gu
    We're returning to Sasu. Hurry.
[15:17] Gu
    Everyone, board the ships!
[15:19] Gu
    Start boarding!
[15:20] Gu
    Hurry!
[15:21] Gu
    Hurry it up!
[15:21] Gu
    We're boarding the ships, they said.
[15:24] Gu
    We're back to that hell below decks, huh?
[15:27] Gu
    I wish they'd just leave us here.
[15:31] Gu
    Hey. You're going to pay
    a price before you go.
[15:34] Gu
    J-Japanese!
[15:36] Gu
    One survived!
[15:54] Gu
    Run! Hurry!
[16:07] Gu
    Damn!
[16:11] Gu
    Cowards.
[16:13] Gu
    What is it that scares so you?
[16:15] Gu
    It's just a filthy wolf...
[16:19] Gu
    It's Ryuu Fukukou-sama!
[16:21] Gu
    Look. In just four days
    since that night assault,
[16:25] Gu
    the wolf has turned
    into a pathetic wild dog.
[16:29] Gu
    Losing a war is a sad thing.
[16:35] Gu
    Do you understand what this is?
[16:36] Gu
    It's what's left of a weapon.
[16:39] Gu
    It belonged to the man who was with you,
    the one with the face of an ogre...
[16:48] Gu
    Onitakemaru...
[16:50] Gu
    His blood was a brilliant red.
[16:53] Gu
    What will yours look like?
[16:55] Gu
    Is it worthy enough
    for my blade to drain it?
[16:58] Gu
    You look like a stray dog,
    but are you still a wolf inside?
[17:02] Gu
    He doesn't understand you.
[17:04] Gu
    I don't care.
[17:06] Gu
    Words mean nothing.
[17:09] Gu
    What better way to understand someone
    than through lethal combat?
[17:15] Gu
    Yeah...
[17:19] Gu
    You're right...
[17:20] Gu
    This will be the last battle
[17:24] Gu
    on this island!
[17:42] Gu
    It's a sad thing.
[17:44] Gu
    The battle is already won!
[17:47] Gu
    No matter what you do with that sword,
[17:49] Gu
    it will never point toward victory!
[17:55] Gu
    You don't understand?
[17:57] Gu
    What are those sad swings of your blade for?
[18:02] Gu
    Who are they for?
[18:04] Gu
    There's nobody left!
[18:08] Gu
    Or will you tell me that this is
    some feeble way of getting revenge?
[18:16] Gu
    Revenge?
[18:18] Gu
    Don't make me laugh!
[18:40] Gu
    Damn you!
[18:47] Gu
    Protect General Ryuu!
[19:21] Gu
    It's not a war fought for a reason,
[19:23] Gu
    or for someone else's sake.
[19:26] Gu
    I'm fighting my own war.
[19:32] Gu
    Just like everyone else...
[19:37] Gu
    A war I can be proud of!
[19:41] Gu
    Even you, a man possessed by battle,
    can understand that, right?
[19:56] Gu
    The Battle of Tsushima Island ended that day,
[19:59] Gu
    with an overwhelming victory
    by the Mongol forces.
[20:08] Gu
    Kudoun-sama,
[20:10] Gu
    General Kouchakyuu and General
    Ryuu Fukukou seem to be delayed.
[20:16] Gu
    They should return soon.
[20:19] Gu
    I heard this island was
    of no consequence at all.
[20:22] Gu
    It seems we took longer than we thought.
[20:25] Gu
    But that is how all battles
    with a new people are.
[20:30] Gu
    Use the lessons you've learned here
    to fight even harder in Kyushu.
[20:35] Gu
    Kyushu Island, huh?
[20:37] Gu
    If there are lots more like him...
[20:41] Gu
    There's not a lot of reason for optimism.
[20:43] Gu
    Now, men, make these
    Japanese kneel before us.
[20:49] Gu
    I'll be watching you!
[21:16] Gi
    Where are the Mongols?
[21:17] Gi
    Where is everyone?
[21:19] Gi
    I was hidden by leaves?
[21:26] Gi
    Kano!
[21:48] Gi
    Jinzaburou?
[21:53] Gu
    So you survived?
[21:56] Gi
    Yes... I did.
[22:00] Gi
    Just me...
[22:02] Gi
    I was the only survivor...
[22:05] Gu
    Surviving means winning.
[22:13] Gu
    You...
[22:16] Gu
    Princess!
[22:17] Gu
    I'm so glad you're safe!
[22:22] Gu
    You survived, too?
[22:29] Gu
    Jinzaburou,
[22:31] Gu
    Tsushima isn't finished yet!
[22:35] Gu
    Yes...
[22:40] Gu
    We can still fight!
[23:26] Gu
    There were exiles at Tsushima
    who fought the Mongols.
[23:32] Gu
    The records of the Hachiman
    temples say this, but no more.
