[00:01] Narr
    October 5th. The 11th
    year of the Bun'ei era...
[00:04] Narr
    The Mongol Navy appeared
    in Sasu Bay, Tsushima,
[00:08] Narr
    landing with a force of
    over 1,000 Goryeo soldiers.
[00:11] Narr
    The local ruler of Tsushima, Sou Sukekuni,
[00:15] Narr
    had only 80 horses and 200 infantry.
[00:18] Narr
    Outnumbered, the Tsushima forces
    were routed after a fierce battle.
[00:30] Gu
    Retreat! Retreat!
[00:33] Gu
    Fall back and regroup!
[00:37] Gu
    Shit! "Regroup"?
[00:40] Gu
    We've lost both our lord and his son,
[00:41] Gu
    and our morale's as low as it can go.
[00:43] Gu
    This is a disaster!
[00:47] Gu
    That armor...
[00:52] Gu
    Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[00:55] Gu
    Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[00:58] Gu
    Whoa, whoa...
[00:59] Gu
    Whoa, whoa...
[01:01] Gu
    Okay, you're all good horses.
[01:03] Gu
    The exile!
[01:05] Gu
    That armor...
[01:08] Gu
    They're here!
[01:09] Gu
    Keep running!
[01:15] Gu
    Listen up, everyone!
[01:18] Gu
    The enemy is so eager to pursue you
    that they've overstretched their lines.
[01:22] Gu
    Now is the time to strike.
[02:56] Gu
    Listen up, everyone!
[02:58] Gu
    Turn around!
[03:00] Gu
    We're about to charge
    right at the Mongol forces!
[03:03] Gu
    No one asked for your opinion, exile!
[03:06] Gu
    Do you even know what's happening here?
[03:08] Gu
    You suffered a pathetic defeat,
[03:10] Gu
    and now you're running, right?
[03:12] Gu
    But the Mongols are so eager
    to hunt you down that they've
[03:15] Gu
    stretched themselves into a thin
    line at the bottom of this valley.
[03:18] Gu
    And now they've lost the general who was
    leading them and are falling out of order.
[03:21] Gu
    Now's our chance to strike!
[03:23] Gu
    Ridiculous. If you want to go, go yourself!
[03:26] Gu
    What's wrong? Come get these horses!
[03:29] Gu
    Of course! It took a little
    time to get armored up.
[03:32] Gu
    It just doesn't feel right
    wearing somebody else's.
[03:35] Gu
    So I guess we fight, after all.
[03:37] Gu
    Who are you?
[03:38] Gu
    "Who are we?"
[03:40] Gu
    We're the exiles you
    begged to come save you.
[03:43] Gu
    It stinks!
[03:45] Gu
    All of you,
[03:46] Gu
    we won't lose like Sou Sukekuni did!
[03:52] Gu
    You're just bandits!
[03:53] Gu
    My name is Kuchii Jinzaburou!
[03:57] Gu
    Are you cowards?
[03:59] Gu
    How do you intend to see
    an end to this battle?
[04:01] Gu
    How do you intend to face tomorrow?
[04:03] Gu
    Are you such weaklings that you won't fight
    unless an outsider like me tells you to?
[04:08] Gu
    If you are, then run and
    hide from the Mongols,
[04:10] Gu
    and then crawl on the
    ground until you're dead!
[04:13] Gu
    What?!
[04:14] Gu
    You bastard...
[04:18] Gu
    You don't need inspiring words, do you?
[04:21] Gu
    Listen!
[04:22] Gu
    You're not following mere exiles!
[04:24] Gu
    You're following this armor!
[04:27] Gu
    This armor, which you revere as
    the treasure of the founder of the Sou Clan.
[04:31] Gu
    Let's go!
[04:34] Gu
    Damn it!
[04:35] Gu
    Let's get going!
[04:36] Gu
    Follow him!
[04:38] Gu
    There's only about 30 or 40 of them.
[04:40] Gu
    About a third, I guess?
[04:42] Gu
    Not bad for the terrified
    soldiers of a defeated army.
[04:46] Gu
    You know how to inspire a warrior.
[04:49] Gu
    Make sure the ones
    who followed us stay alive!
[04:53] Gu
    I'll open the way for them!
[05:06] Gu
    Hey, is he a monster?
[05:08] Gu
    Oh, he's starting to get excited.
[05:12] Gu
    I, Obusuma Saburou, was once known as
    the great general of the Musashi Province.
SIGN    Obusuma Saburou
[05:16] Gu
    I won't let a young brat like you outfight me!
[05:27] Gu
    Bows take too much time!
[05:30] Gu
    I, Shiraishi Kazuhisa, have no rivals
    when it comes to fighting on horseback!
SIGN    Shiraishi Kazuhisa
SIGN    Hitari
[05:44] Gu
    Don't let the exiles kill
    more Mongols than we do!
[05:52] Gu
    Have our vanguard fall back.
[05:54] Gu
    We'll bring the Japanese into our ranks,
[05:56] Gu
    surround them from all
    directions and kill them!
[05:58] ---
    Yes, sir.
[05:59] Gu
    Retreat!
[06:02] Gu
    There we go! The enemy's retreating!
[06:05] Gu
    Follow them!
[06:05] Gu
    They're trying to regroup?
[06:08] Gu
    It's a deliberate feint.
[06:10] Gu
    Stop everyone from following, Kuchii-dono!
[06:14] Gu
    No, we have to pursue!
[06:16] Gu
    It's insane to chase them
    with these numbers!
[06:19] Gu
    The flow of battle means everything in war!
[06:21] Gu
    If they're confident they outnumber
    us and don't set their trap right,
[06:24] Gu
    we can turn the tables on them.
[06:26] Gu
    Everyone, the battle is as good as won!
[06:30] Gu
    Follow right after me!
[06:34] Gu
    Look! The enemy is retreating!
[06:37] Gu
    We can't just sit here and watch!
[06:39] Gu
    Wait, you idiots!
[06:42] Gu
    Abiru Yajirou-dono, shouldn't we stop them?
[06:46] Gu
    You're our lord's adopted son,
    you must take command.
[06:50] Gu
    How can we face our fallen lord
    if we let the exiles take control?
[06:56] Gu
    Genpachi-dono.
[06:58] Gu
    We failed to protect both
    our lord and his son.
[07:03] Gu
    We have no choice.
[07:10] Gu
    Foolishness...
[07:12] Gu
    That's just what happened today.
[07:15] Gu
    We'll pursue too deep and be
    crushed by their numbers again.
[07:19] Gu
    Abiru-dono!
[07:20] Gu
    What's wrong?
[07:21] Gu
    P-Princess Teruhi-sama..
[07:23] ---
    What?
[07:24] Gi
    Kousuke... You fought so well out there...
[07:28] Gu
    Your words honor me.
[07:31] Gu
    Princess Teruhi...
[07:33] Gu
    What are you doing here?
[07:35] Gu
    Return to the capital!
[07:37] Gu
    It was your father's last command!
[07:40] Gu
    We have failed!
[07:42] Gu
    Our lord, his son, and most
    of the Sou Clan have been slain...
[07:48] Gi
    I've heard.
[07:51] Gi
    I just passed by the soldiers
    who fled into the mountains
[07:54] Gi
    and heard what happened in the battle.
[07:57] Gi
    I am the daughter of a samurai.
[07:59] Gi
    I was prepared for this.
[08:01] Gi
    That's why I came.
[08:03] Gi
    I know how to use a bow, at least.
[08:04] Gu
    No.
[08:06] Gu
    We can't let you stay here.
[08:09] Gu
    Gontarou, take her home.
[08:12] Gi
    Silence, Abiru-dono.
[08:15] Gi
    Listen, everyone!
[08:16] Gi
    I, Teruhi, will now take
    command in my father's place!
[08:20] Gu
    Reporting in!
[08:22] Gu
    Our allies that charged the
    enemy have been surrounded,
[08:26] Gu
    and we can no longer see them!
[08:29] Gu
    They were wiped out?
[08:32] Gu
    I should've, at least, stopped the ones
    who tried to follow the exiles...
[08:35] Gu
    Exiles?
[08:36] Gu
    Is Kuchii Jinzaburou on the battlefield now?
[08:41] Gu
    Now that we've leapt into the flame,
[08:43] Gu
    there's no going back!
[08:47] Gu
    It's been a long time
    since I've felt this...
[08:50] Gu
    My stomach's twisting itself into knots!
[08:53] Gu
    That's their headquarters?
[08:55] Gu
    And that's...
[08:57] Gu
    That single point, there!
[08:58] Gu
    Let's go!
[09:14] Gu
    Surround them!
[09:29] Gi
    The local lord's holding out
    longer than I expected.
[09:33] Gi
    You're not going to tell us
    we're going down there, right?
[09:37] Gu
    I don't know.
[09:39] Gu
    The emperor is the one
    who makes all the decisions.
[09:50] Gu
    They're here!
[09:51] Gu
    Our allies have returned!
[09:53] Gu
    They broke through the encirclement?
[09:55] Gu
    Are there Mukuri pursuers?
[09:56] Gu
    No!
[09:57] Gu
    The Mukuri ranks seem to be in chaos...
[10:11] Gi
    Is that Jinzaburou?
[10:13] Gu
    What? You cut your way into their headquarters
    and slew their general and his men?
[10:17] Gu
    Yes.
[10:18] Gu
    The exiles were amazing.
[10:22] Gu
    With so few soldiers?
[10:24] Gu
    Unbelievable.
[10:26] Gu
    We can't believe it ourselves.
[10:28] Gu
    This would've been impossible
    without Kuchii-dono.
[10:36] Gu
    I need you to confirm that
    these are what I think they are.
[10:40] Gi
    The Mukuri general?
[10:41] Gu
    No.
[10:42] Gu
    This is...
[10:45] Gu
    Sou Sukekuni and Umajirou-dono.
[10:53] Gu
    Princess!
[10:55] Gu
    I had to take some risks to get these,
[10:57] Gu
    and some of the men paid
    with their lives, but it was necessary.
[11:00] Gu
    If these heads were hanging from
    the enemy's spears tomorrow,
[11:04] Gu
    it would damage our morale.
[11:08] Gu
    My lord... My young master...
[11:11] Gu
    How sad!
[11:13] Gu
    You died for the pride of
    Tsushima and the Sou Clan!
[11:21] Gu
    Sou Sukekuni lost.
[11:23] Gu
    That's why he died.
[11:25] Gu
    That's all there is to it.
[11:27] Gu
    What?
[11:28] Gu
    He fought with all his
    strength to win the victory,
[11:31] Gu
    and then he failed and died.
[11:34] Gu
    It was a proud death,
[11:37] Gu
    but he did not die for pride.
[11:45] Gi
    Father... Brother!
[12:07] Gu
    There they are.
[12:09] Gu
    I can see 'em clearly.
[12:12] Gu
    Don't underestimate my night vision.
SIGN    Amushi
[12:18] Gi
    Father, Brother...
[12:22] Gi
    Please forgive me for having nothing more
    than these river stones to offer you now.
[12:28] Gu
    Everyone, prepare to cross the mountains.
[12:31] Gu
    We're getting back
    to the capital by morning.
[12:33] Gu
    Yes, sir.
[12:34] Gu
    Where are the exiles?
[12:36] Gu
    They went to the cave behind the shrine.
[12:37] Gu
    They said they needed to rest.
[12:39] Gu
    Selfish, uncaring bastards...
[12:53] Gu
    Why did you come back now?
[12:55] Gu
    We were together most of the way.
[12:58] Gu
    Where did you run off to?
[13:02] Gu
    You were the ones who left me behind
    while I was taking a shit.
[13:05] Gu
    Any idiot could tell you a pirate
    is going to get lost in the mountains.
[13:09] Gu
    It doesn't matter. Just don't
    take up too much space.
[13:12] Gu
    This was once a silver mine.
[13:15] Gu
    It's pretty handy.
[13:17] Gu
    Its opening doesn't face the sea, so the
    enemy can't see the smoke from our fires.
[13:22] Gu
    But that will only save us
    for tonight, Kuchii-dono.
[13:25] Gu
    If we stay here, the Mongols
    will kill us all on the morn.
[13:29] Gu
    I've got two wives and seven
    children back in Kyushu.
[13:34] Gu
    And I keep thinking of them
    when I see the slain...
[13:39] Gu
    Do you have a wife or child in Kamakura?
[13:43] Gu
    A wife?
[13:45] Gu
    The most I ever had was four.
[13:48] Gu
    If you're not careful, you find yourself with
[13:49] Gu
    more and and more marriages from your
    relatives and the place you grew up in.
[13:53] Gu
    But, in the end, I just got tired of it.
[13:57] Gu
    Only one remained,
[13:59] Gu
    along with one daughter.
[14:05] Gu
    It's been four years since then, huh?
[14:07] Gu
    My wife and child are gone.
[14:10] Gu
    They both died in a plague.
[14:13] Gu
    I was gone to war for a month,
[14:15] Gu
    and when I came back, they were buried.
[14:18] Gu
    It's not like slitting an
    enemy's throat open in a war.
[14:21] Gu
    They don't really feel dead to me.
[14:24] Gu
    I see.
[14:26] Gu
    Princess.
[14:27] Gu
    I brought them as you asked.
[14:30] Gu
    I-I see.
[14:34] Gi
    Villagers of Sasu, I am Teruhi,
    daughter of your lord.
[14:38] Gi
    It's not much, but we've come
    to bring you some dried rice.
[14:41] Gu
    Princess Teruhi!
[14:44] Gu
    You once came here with
    our lord and his son, yes?
[14:48] Gi
    It's been many years, elder.
[14:51] Gi
    But I appreciate the kindness
    you showed me then.
[14:53] Gi
    There's something I need to tell you all.
[14:56] Gi
    I want you to head to
    the capital with us tonight.
[15:01] Gi
    We've lost two-thirds of our forces,
[15:04] Gi
    and this valley is doomed.
[15:06] Gi
    I'm sure you may be reluctant to do so,
[15:08] Gi
    but will you come with us?
[15:14] Gu
    I'm going to sleep.
[15:16] Gu
    Wake me up when the moon is high in the sky.
[15:18] Gi
    You're going to sleep?
[15:19] Gi
    We need to head to the capital
    as soon as possible.
[15:22] Gu
    We're not going to the capital.
[15:25] Gu
    Once I wake up, we're doing
    a night raid on the Mongols.
[15:28] Gi
    A night raid?
[15:30] Gu
    Are you insane?
[15:32] Gu
    Villagers of Sasu,
[15:34] Gu
    can one of you guide me?
[15:35] Gi
    Wait.
[15:36] Gi
    Everyone's exhausted
    from this afternoon's battle!
[15:39] Gu
    What?
[15:40] Gu
    You want me to fight your war, right?
[15:42] Gi
    Not to get yourself killed!
[15:45] Gi
    We need to retreat
    to the capital and regroup.
[15:49] Gi
    And then we can come up with a plan...
[15:52] Gu
    I won't force anybody.
[15:53] Gu
    Make your own choice.
[15:55] Gu
    But if a smaller force
    wants to beat a larger one,
[15:58] Gu
    it has to hit them in their sleep.
[15:59] Gu
    They're a long way from home,
    in a place they've never been,
[16:03] Gu
    and it's the thing that terrifies them most.
[16:05] Gu
    Show them that a cornered
    rat can kill a cat, too!
[16:12] Gu
    What a pain.
[16:14] Gu
    General, let me be your guide.
[16:18] Gu
    No, not just a guide...
[16:20] Gu
    Let me join the attack.
[16:22] Gu
    I've always been the strongest
    warrior in my village.
[16:26] Gu
    But I...
[16:27] Gu
    I couldn't protect my wife and children.
[16:30] Gu
    They were taken from me by the Mukuri!
[16:34] Gu
    Ginshichi, I'm going, too.
[16:36] Gu
    My daughter was kidnapped.
[16:39] Gu
    I lost my son, too!
[16:40] Gu
    Let's go!
[16:41] Gu
    Rokurou! Shioya!
[16:44] Gu
    Eat something.
[16:46] Gu
    Yes, sir!
[16:47] Gu
    Yajirou-dono, is it okay to ignore this?
[16:53] Gu
    I don't care.
[16:56] Gu
    We're going back to the capital.
[17:10] Gi
    I don't know how he can sleep
    so peacefully in this situation.
[17:15] Gi
    What kind of warrior is he?
[17:18] Gi
    A night ambush?
[17:20] Gi
    All he needs to do is defend us...
[17:24] Gi
    Kuchii Jinzaburou, you're dangerous.
[17:28] Gi
    Once the war begins,
[17:30] Gi
    you'll drag everyone
    to the pits of hell with you.
[17:34] Gi
    Maybe I should just kill you here...
[17:42] Gi
    I never should have summoned you here.
[18:03] Gu
    What? Is the moon at its peak yet?
[18:07] Gi
    Yes.
[18:09] Gu
    As we agreed,
[18:11] Gu
    we're wearing light armor, and we
    covered up anything that can reflect light.
[18:16] Gu
    Between the samurai, their followers,
    and the villagers from the valley,
[18:20] Gu
    there's 64 of us in all.
[18:22] Gu
    But Abiru Yajirou and the rest of the Sou Clan's
    retainers have already fled towards the capital.
[18:30] Gu
    You guys must be nuts
    to still be here, then.
[18:35] Gu
    Aw, don't say that.
[18:37] Gu
    You're the one who put us up to this.
[18:39] Gu
    You were at the fight this afternoon, right?
[18:41] Gu
    Are you a soldier of the Sou Clan?
[18:43] Gu
    What's your name?
[18:44] Gu
    Oh, we've met?
[18:47] Gu
    Sasa Rantarou. Call me Sasara.
[18:49] Gu
    Sasara, huh?
[18:51] Gu
    What's your name?
[18:52] Gu
    Hishiroku.
[18:53] Gu
    Echizen Gorou Harutada.
[18:55] Gu
    I am Yaguruma, his follower.
[18:57] Gu
    Did Obusuma Saburou run?
[19:00] Gu
    I don't like fighting on land.
[19:02] Gu
    What are you making?
SIGN    Douen
[19:05] Gu
    I'll see you off here.
[19:08] Gu
    I'm Koorogi.
[19:09] Gu
    Aosuke.
[19:11] Gu
    Is that all?
[19:12] Gu
    The only ones left are our guides,
    Ginshichi, Rokurou, and Shioya.
[19:18] Gi
    And Teruhi.
[19:20] Gi
    I shall accompany you as your strategist.
[19:22] Gi
    You have no complaints, right?
[19:24] Gu
    Princess, reconsider this.
[19:26] Gi
    Shut up.
[19:28] Gu
    Whatever.
[19:29] Gu
    Let's go.
[19:30] Gu
    Go? Um?
[19:31] Gu
    We're attacking?
[19:33] Gu
    Yeah.
[19:34] Gu
    I thought you were going to take a piss.
[19:39] Gu
    Amushi?
[19:40] Gu
    Yeah.
[19:41] Gu
    I took a look for you.
[19:43] Gu
    You were right.
[19:45] Gu
    Most of the Mongols went back
    on their ships to sleep.
[19:49] Gu
    Only half the ones from this
    afternoon are still on the beach.
[19:52] Gu
    I knew it. Thanks.
[19:54] Gu
    You're going to pay me for this, right?
[19:57] Gu
    Yeah. I'll go snatch something for you.
[20:02] Gu
    Well, I already got something for myself.
[20:05] Gu
    Mongol treasure.
[20:07] Gu
    I can't wait to see what's inside.
[20:12] Gu
    We ride into the enemy camp, set fire to it,
    stir up a fuss, and then immediately get out.
[20:18] Gu
    This ambush will protect us in the future.
[20:21] Gi
    Protect us?
[20:22] Gu
    If the enemy knows they
    can be attacked, they'll be careful.
[20:27] Gu
    And that will make them a little slower.
[20:31] Gu
    We can buy a little extra time,
[20:33] Gu
    which we can use to get
    as far away as possible.
[20:37] Gu
    The Mongols are after Kyushu.
[20:40] Gu
    They won't want to spend
    months on this island.
[20:43] Gu
    So we hide deep in the island,
[20:45] Gu
    where they can't reach us.
[20:49] Gu
    The wounded, the women, the children,
[20:51] Gu
    and us, too.
[20:53] Gu
    Everyone, fight hard!
[20:57] Gu
    Our deaths tonight will help
    Tsushima survive tomorrow!
[21:06] Gu
    There's still 200 steps
    or so to the main camp.
[21:09] Gu
    It doesn't look like there's
    any place to hide here.
[21:12] Gu
    Can we get to 50 steps away, Ginshichi?
[21:16] Gu
    If we head into the low ground
    where there's no light
[21:18] Gu
    and then approach from the right, maybe.
[21:20] Gu
    Then that watchman...
[21:22] Gu
    We'll have to wait for him to go.
[21:26] Gu
    Off he goes.
[21:28] Gu
    Yeah, that was faster than I thought.
[21:31] Gu
    Karudoraga!
[21:33] Gu
    Karudoraga!
[21:34] Gu
    Karudoraga! Karudoraga!
[21:35] Gu
    What are they doing?
[21:36] Gu
    Karudoraga! Karudoraga!
[21:42] Gu
    Wait.
[21:44] Gu
    They betrayed us?!
[21:48] (Flashback) Gu
    My love...
[21:50] (Flashback) Gu
    Daddy!
[21:52] Gu
    He's...
[21:56] Gu
    Over here!
