[00:06] Flashback
    What's wrong?
[00:27] Flashback
    The capital...
[00:31] Flashback
    is burning...
[00:34] Flashback
    It's all burning...
[00:46] Gi
    Tsushima... is done for...
[00:50] Gu
    Another force?
[00:52] Gu
    Ten warships, and over
    a thousand Mongol warriors.
[00:57] Gu
    They never stood a chance.
[01:03] Gu
    Shiraishi-dono, we need
    to head somewhere else...
[01:12] Gu
    I'm... sorry.
[01:14] Gu
    When I was a ruler, I had a city
    I'd built from scratch taken from me,
[01:20] Gu
    and my mansion and
    my people burned in the flames.
[01:23] Gu
    This reminds me of that...
[01:33] Gu
    Princess Teruhi!
[01:34] Gu
    You're back!
[01:37] Gi
    Genpachi.
[01:39] Gi
    You're safe...
[01:40] Gu
    Yes...
[01:41] Gu
    The capital's survivors
    are over there, as well.
[03:26] Gu
    Abiru Yajirou-dono!
[03:28] Gu
    I'm glad you're all right.
[03:31] Gu
    I came back alive, and now
    I've nowhere to go home.
[03:35] Gu
    Is this all the survivors from the capital?
[03:37] Gu
    Yeah, that's right.
[03:39] Gu
    I don't know what happened to the others.
[03:41] Gu
    I'm sure some of them
    made it into the mountains...
[03:44] Gu
    What happened?
[03:46] Gu
    This morning, Mongol ships
    attacked the capital.
[03:50] Gu
    We returned from Sasu
    after an all-night march.
[03:54] Gu
    And as soon as we did...
[03:56] Gu
    The Mongols intended to attack both
    Sasu and the capital from the start.
[04:04] Gu
    That's a lot of effort
    for a tiny, little island.
[04:09] Gu
    What a pain in the ass!
[04:10] Gu
    How long are these damn
    Mongols going to stay here?
[04:14] Gi
    For days and weeks.
[04:16] Gi
    They'll be here for days and weeks,
[04:19] Gi
    and they'll spend every hour
    they're here slaughtering us.
[04:23] Gi
    They want to kill everyone
    on the island! I know it!
[04:33] Gu
    So it didn't matter what we did, huh?
[04:36] Gu
    No matter how much
    we struggle, everyone dies!
[04:39] Gu
    The whole battle at Sasu
    was just a waste of time!
[04:43] Gu
    It was a waste of time to even fight back!
[04:49] Gu
    You little brat...
[04:51] Gu
    What are you willing to fight for, then?
[04:54] Gu
    Just to keep yourself alive a little longer?
[04:57] Gu
    A life like that is what's
    really a waste of time.
[05:01] Gu
    What?
[05:03] Gu
    Shut your mouth, exile.
[05:05] Gu
    Don't even try.
[05:07] Gu
    It's a waste of time to fight
    somebody stronger than you, right?
[05:11] Gu
    Damn you!
[05:12] Gu
    Abiru-dono!
[05:13] Gu
    Reporting!
[05:15] Gu
    The Mongols are coming!
[05:22] Gu
    Get down!
[05:25] Gu
    Five of them... Scouts.
[05:28] Gu
    They're dressed differently
    than the ones we saw at Sasu.
[05:40] Gu
    They're turning back!
[05:42] Gu
    Good.
[05:43] Gi
    Princess...
[05:47] Gi
    They took them from me...
[05:51] Gi
    My father, my brother...
[05:54] Gi
    My people, my land...
[05:57] Gi
    And my heart...
[06:00] Gi
    Everything!
[06:02] Gi
    Everything!
[06:04] Gi
    Princess!
[06:05] Gi
    Damn you!
[06:07] Gi
    I won't let you go!
[06:12] Gi
    Princess!
[06:13] Gi
    More!
[06:15] Gi
    More!
[06:17] Gu
    Don't let the scouts escape!
[06:20] Gu
    One fled!
[06:21] Gu
    Can you do it, Hitari?
[06:23] Gu
    I'm willing to try.
[06:32] Gu
    They were able to turn the horses
    around on a narrow mountain path,
[06:34] Gu
    and fire arrows behind them
    while galloping away.
[06:37] Gu
    They're skilled horsemen.
[06:42] Gu
    It smells like milk!
[06:44] Gu
    They don't weave their hair
    like Goryeo people, either.
[06:47] Gu
    They probably don't speak
    the same language, either.
[06:49] Gu
    And they probably don't fight the same way.
[06:51] Gu
    One of the horses fled.
[06:53] Gu
    Yeah.
[06:54] Gu
    If a horse comes back with no rider,
    they'll know something's up.
[06:56] Gu
    You mustn't, Princess!
[06:58] Gu
    Your wound will open again.
[07:02] Gi
    I couldn't control myself...
[07:04] Gi
    I'm sorry, everyone!
[07:12] Gu
    It won't change anything.
[07:14] Gu
    They noticed us.
[07:17] Gu
    That's why they turned
    around all of a sudden.
[07:20] Gi
    Princess, we must tend to your wounds...
[07:22] Gu
    More importantly, what that girl just did
    changed the looks on everybody's faces.

[07:30] Gu
    But where do we go?
[07:31] Gu
    Why not Aso Bay to the north?
[07:33] Gu
    There are provisions
    and places to hide there.
[07:36] Gu
    A good idea.
[07:37] Gu
    When that's done, we can disguise
    the shortcuts to the north,
[07:40] Gu
    and then stop the Mongols here.
[07:42] Gu
    Not happening.
[07:44] Gu
    Who are you?
[07:46] Gu
    Who am I?
[07:47] Gu
    I'm more important than you country samurai.
[07:48] Gu
    Amushi, can you see the Mongols
    movements from up there?
[07:51] Gu
    Yep.
[07:52] Gu
    Run? Hide the shortcuts?
[07:54] Gu
    You don't have time.
SIGN    Mongol Mingghan Commander
    Uriyan Edei
[08:06] Gu
    Hurry!
[08:07] Gu
    We're heading for Aso Bay!
[08:16] Gu
    What's wrong, old lady?
[08:18] Gi
    I'll stay here.
[08:21] Gi
    I lost my child and my grandchild.
[08:23] Gi
    I'd rather choose a place to die
    myself than let the Mongols kill me.
[08:29] Gu
    How noble...
[08:31] Gu
    Yajirou-dono.
[08:33] Gu
    We can stay here to hold them off.
[08:35] Gu
    On this narrow mountain road, their
    superior numbers will do them no good.
[08:40] Gu
    Yeah, you're right.
[08:42] Gu
    If we don't delay them,
    they'll catch up to the fleeing people.
[08:46] Gu
    You exiles must work, too.
[08:49] Gu
    You serious?
[08:51] Gu
    You intend to have us work
    for free again, don't you?
[08:55] Gu
    I ain't doing this forever.
[09:06] Gu
    Let me go!
[09:07] Gu
    I knew you'd do that, old man.
[09:09] Gu
    When they were burning down
    the capital, you were robbing it!
[09:14] Gu
    I'll take that treasure off your hands.
[09:21] Gu
    Well done, considering we
    didn't have much time.
[09:25] Gu
    It's light, too.
[09:26] Gu
    We made them like you said to, sir...
[09:29] Gu
    But what are these?
[09:31] Gu
    A makeshift long weapon
    used in the Gikei style.
[09:34] Gu
    It's called a spear.
[09:35] Gu
    A spear?
[09:36] Gu
    Abiru Yajirou, you wanted
    to stop the enemy here, right?
[09:41] Gu
    Yes.
[09:42] Gu
    If you want to protect yourself,
[09:44] Gu
    you need to be prepared
    to sacrifice yourself.
[09:47] Gu
    We'll build a fort on this path to seal it.
[09:53] Gu
    Build a fort?
[09:55] Gu
    The enemy's right here.
[09:57] Gu
    It's 80 percent done.
[10:01] Gu
    Right here.
[10:19] Gu
    Everybody's in position, right?
[10:21] Gu
    Once I pull the enemy in,
[10:22] Gu
    follow the plan!
[10:23] Gu
    Everyone, stay sharp!
[10:29] Gu
    Hey, new kid.
[10:31] Gu
    You ain't looking good.
[10:33] Gu
    Get to the rear.
[10:34] Gu
    Shut up!
[10:36] Gu
    I can't let you do this alone!
[10:39] Gu
    Here they come!
[10:44] Gu
    They're up ahead.
[10:46] Gu
    Everyone...
[10:48] Gu
    Protect this single corner the best you can.
[10:51] Gu
    Tell yourself that if we're lucky,
    we can defeat the Mongol's huge army
[10:54] Gu
    and take back the capital.
[10:56] Gu
    If you can't convince yourself of that,
[10:58] Gu
    you won't even be able
    to protect this single corner.
[11:00] Gu
    Are you ready, Abiru Yajirou?
[11:08] Gu
    They're all fat and strong.
[11:11] Gu
    They're just ordinary soldiers,
    but they attack with no hesitation.
[11:14] Gu
    They're skilled warriors.
[11:15] Gu
    They're coming!
[11:15] Gu
    Right!
[11:25] Gu
    I see.
[11:27] Gu
    When the Mongols round the corner,
[11:30] Gu
    they use their swordsmen to pin them down,
[11:32] Gu
    and then strike from the side with arrows?
[11:35] Gu
    Kuchii-dono says it's called
    the Yokoyagake, the side arrow attack.
[11:40] Gu
    Arrows from the side, huh?
    Sounds about right.
[11:42] Gu
    Okay, I've seen what there is to see.
[11:45] Gu
    Time for me to get going.
[11:49] Gu
    Stab upwards!
[11:56] Gu
    This is a lot of fun to use.
[12:06] Gu
    There's more! Stay sharp!
[12:09] Gu
    Every minute we do this gives
    the people more time to escape.
[12:17] Gu
    But...
[12:18] Gu
    It's just a dead end!
[12:24] Gu
    What waits at the end of this battle?
[12:28] Gu
    Hey, General.
[12:29] Gu
    Don't fight a war unless
    you know why you're fighting it.
[12:32] Gu
    If you feel any hesitation at all,
[12:34] Gu
    run away and follow the rest of the people,
[12:37] Gu
    or run off on your own.
    Whatever you want to do.
[12:53] Gu
    Kuchii Jinzaburou!
[12:55] Gu
    What?
[12:56] Gu
    What makes you able to risk
    your life for a battle with no future?
[13:02] Gu
    You're not from this island!
    Why are you willing to—
SIGN    9th Year of Bun'ei, February, Kamakura
[13:20] (Flashback) Gu
    You beat me.
[13:22] (Flashback) Gu
    Kuchii Jinzaburou may be a famous warrior,
[13:26] (Flashback) Gu
    but he's terrible at shogi, huh?
[13:30] (Flashback) Gu
    Shogi and war are two
    completely different things.
[13:33] (Flashback) Gu
    Your father said they were the same.
[13:39] (Flashback) Gu
    My father did?
[13:40] (Flashback) Gu
    Yes.
SIGN    Houjou Clan Branch Family
    Nagoe Tokiaki
[13:41] (Flashback) Gu
    To be honest, he was a lot better than you,
[13:45] (Flashback) Gu
    but you play shogi in a very similar way.
[13:49] (Flashback) Gu
    The bonds of blood are strange things.
[13:53] (Flashback) Gu
    Is that so?
[13:55] (Flashback) Gu
    To be honest, I barely remember his face.
[13:59] (Flashback) Gu
    I see a lot of Tasaburou in you.
[14:04] (Flashback) Gu
    Oh, you've truly lost this one.
[14:08] (Flashback) Gu
    Kimitoki-dono!
SIGN    Tokiaki's Son
    Nagoe Kimitoki
[14:09] (Flashback) Gu
    Jinzaburou, if you can't get to the point
    where he'll deliberately let you win,
[14:12] (Flashback) Gu
    you're going to have
    trouble getting promoted.
[14:16] (Flashback) Gu
    Kimitoki.
[14:18] (Flashback) Gu
    Don't tell him that.
[14:20] (Flashback) Gu
    I'm sorry, Father.
[14:26] (Flashback) Gu
    I'll see you soon, then.
[14:28] (Flashback) Gu
    Jinzaburou.
[14:30] (Flashback) Gu
    Stay away from our family for a while.
[14:33] (Flashback) Gu
    You're not the social type,
[14:36] (Flashback) Gu
    but you've been visiting often lately.
[14:39] (Flashback) Gu
    It's because the shogun's aide,
    Tokimune, has it out for us, right?
[14:45] (Flashback) Gu
    Thirty years ago,
    we rebelled against his clan.
[14:50] (Flashback) Gu
    The rift between clans is something
    that is passed down through the years.
[14:55] (Flashback) Gu
    That's why I'd like you to avoid doing
    anything that could provoke a reaction.
[15:01] (Flashback) Gu
    But Tokiaki-dono...
[15:02] (Flashback) Gu
    Look around our mansion.
[15:05] (Flashback) Gu
    We don't even use the
    archery grounds anymore.
[15:09] (Flashback) Gu
    I planted flowers,
[15:11] (Flashback) Gu
    and soon they will cover the whole area.
[15:15] (Flashback) Gu
    You understand, right, Jinzaburou?
[15:18] (Flashback) Gu
    We don't want to give him
    the slightest excuse for war.
[15:26] (Flashback) Gu
    As you wish.
[15:28] (Flashback) Gu
    But, Tokiaki-dono...
[15:31] (Flashback) Gu
    They say that if you truly
    wish to not draw your sword,
[15:33] (Flashback) Gu
    you must keep it at your side.
[15:35] (Flashback) Gu
    Please make sure you
    do not abandon your sword.
[15:40] (Flashback) Gu
    Farewell.
[15:56] (Flashback) Gu
    Kuchii Jinzaburou-dono.
[16:00] (Flashback) Gu
    Oh, if it isn't Ookura Yorisue.
[16:03] (Flashback) Gu
    A servant of the Houjou Clan...
SIGN    Servant of the Houjou Clan
    Ookura Yorisue
[16:05] (Flashback) Gu
    Not someone I'd preferred to have run into.
[16:06] (Flashback) Gu
    Yeah. They're in the service
    of the shogun's aide,
[16:10] (Flashback) Gu
    and they'll never let you forget it.
[16:13] (Flashback) Gu
    I've heard you've been playing a lot
    of shogi with Nagoe Tokiaki-dono.
[16:19] (Flashback) Gu
    I'm sure he's not a very fun opponent.
[16:23] (Flashback) Gu
    I would be happy to play you sometime.
[16:25] (Flashback) Gu
    No, I'm a terrible player.
[16:29] (Flashback) Gu
    I'd be embarrassed.
[16:30] (Flashback) Gu
    Come by any time, and I'll teach you.
[16:34] (Flashback) Gu
    Both in war and in shogi,
    the larger picture is what's important.
[16:37] (Flashback) Gu
    No matter how good of a fighter
    you are on your own,
[16:40] (Flashback) Gu
    you're still just a pawn.
[16:48] Gu
    It's clear he's planning something.
[16:51] Gu
    But when will he act?
SIGN    Several Days Later: February 11th Around 10:00 In the Morning
[17:07] (Flashback) Gu
    Nagoe Tokiaki-dono!
[17:09] (Flashback) Gu
    How dare you plot rebellion
    against Tokimune-sama?!
[17:13] (Flashback) Gu
    Impossible!
[17:14] (Flashback) Gu
    When did we rebel against him?
[17:16] (Flashback) Gu
    Where in this mansion
    can you see evidence of that?
[17:19] (Flashback) Gu
    Ookura Yorisue!
[17:21] (Flashback) Gu
    Let me see Tokimune!
[17:23] (Flashback) Gu
    He can clear up this misunderstanding!
[17:27] (Flashback) Gu
    Father...
[17:29] (Flashback) Gu
    We can find what exactly it is you're
    plotting after we have your head.
[17:36] (Flashback) Gu
    Do it!
[17:44] (Flashback) Gu
    Oh, Ookura-dono.
[17:46] (Flashback) Gu
    I came by to learn some shogi.
[17:50] (Flashback) Gu
    Jinzaburou!
[17:53] (Flashback) Gu
    Men, we are the army of the shogun's aide!
[17:56] (Flashback) Gu
    Capture that criminal
    and win glory for yourself!
[18:08] (Flashback) Gu
    Ookura Yorisue!
[18:12] (Flashback) Gu
    Stop it, Jinzaburou!
[18:16] (Flashback) Gu
    Kimitoki-dono!
[18:18] (Flashback) Gu
    The more of them you kill,
    the worse our position becomes.
[18:24] (Flashback) Gu
    So you knelt there in fear
[18:27] (Flashback) Gu
    when your father was about to be killed?
[18:29] (Flashback) Gu
    You were there the whole time?
[18:31] (Flashback) Gu
    I must protect the clan!
[18:38] (Flashback) Gu
    Your death will be a slow one.
[18:41] (Flashback) Gu
    In the name of the shogun's aide,
     you will be punished!
[18:46] (Flashback) Gu
    Now take Tokiaki's head!
[18:49] (Flashback) Gu
    Yes, sir!
[18:50] (Flashback) Gu
    Jinzaburou, I told you that
    you played shogi like your father,
[18:56] (Flashback) Gu
    but some things about you are different.
[18:58] (Flashback) Gu
    You're never willing to sacrifice
    a piece when you play.
[19:02] (Flashback) Gu
    That's why you're so bad.
[19:05] (Flashback) Gu
    But I found that fascinating.
[19:08] (Flashback) Gu
    If you say you don't remember
    your father's face,
[19:12] (Flashback) Gu
    then think of my face instead,
[19:15] (Flashback) Gu
    and remember me in your
    heart as your father.
[19:33] Gu
    If you throw down your sword
    when there's a sword at your throat,
[19:36] Gu
    everything will be taken from you.
[19:39] Gu
    Even a child knows this.
[19:41] Gu
    And once, I was forced
    to learn it for myself.
[19:43] Gu
    That's why I fight.
[19:45] Gu
    There's nothing more to it than that.
[19:46] Gu
    That is the way I fight. The answer I found.
[19:52] Gu
    Abiru Yajirou.
[19:53] Gu
    If you're a general, no, a samurai...
[19:57] Gu
    Your war is your own.
[19:59] Gu
    Decide for yourself what it will be!
[20:04] Gu
    They're here!
[20:08] Gu
    Torches?
[20:09] Gu
    They're different than the ones before.
[20:16] Gu
    Oh, no! Those are...
[20:18] Gu
    Keep them away from us!
[20:30] Gu
    Get behind your shields!
[20:35] Gu
    The path is open! Charge!
[20:44] Gu
    I can't see anything!
[20:45] Gu
    Is anyone here?
[20:53] Gu
    If they have an open path to go through,
    they'll crush us with their numbers!
[20:58] Gu
    Everybody who's still breathing, stand!
[21:00] Gu
    I'll block the path they opened!
[21:04] Gu
    Yajirou?
[21:06] Gu
    Don't worry, men.
[21:07] Gu
    We faced these "explosives" at Sasu.
[21:12] Gu
    We learned a little about how to avoid them.
[21:15] Gu
    All it does is make a loud noise.
[21:17] Gu
    If you don't let it hit you,
[21:19] Gu
    it doesn't hurt at all.
[21:20] Gu
    Right!
[21:24] Gu
    They're trapped, with nowhere to run.
[21:30] Gu
    Now kill them all!
[21:41] Gu
    I just realized now how powerful
    my clan's warriors are!
[21:48] Gu
    I wasn't worthy to lead them.
[21:52] Gu
    A general doesn't worry about the meaning
    of a battle in the middle of the fight...
[21:57] Gu
    That's the job of a poet!
[21:59] Gu
    Look forward, Jinzaburou!
[22:04] Gu
    Let me protect your back!
