SIGN    Year 4 of the Ju'ei Period Dan-no-ura
[00:20] (Flashback) Gu
    The tide's changed...
[00:21] (Flashback) Gu
    The tide's changed! The tide's changed!
[00:33] (Flashback) Gu
    Minamoto-no-Kurou-Yoshitsune is here!
[00:38] (Flashback) Gu
    Let us return to the capital.
[00:42] (Flashback) Gu
    The people there await your return.
SIGN    High General of the Genji Forces
    Minamoto-no-Kurou-Yoshitsune
[00:48] (Flashback) Gu
    I'm not going.
[00:53] (Flashback) Gu
    Kurou, I will give you this instead.
[01:06] (Flashback) Gu
    Emperor, if you want to win,
    you need to survive!
[02:43] Gu
    I am Tokihito.
[02:45] Gu
    In our capital, I am
    known as Emperor Antoku.
SIGN    81st Emperor
    Antokutei
[02:50] Gu
    How many years has it been since
    I've seen a warrior from the east?
[02:55] Gu
    Oh? That katana at your waist...
[02:59] Gu
    I knew it.
[03:02] Gu
    The Ima-No-Tsurugi forged
    by Sanjou-Kokaji-Munechika.
[03:07] Gu
    I remember this well...
[03:09] Gu
    Minamoto-no-Kurou-Yoshitsune's sword.
[03:13] Gu
    Minamoto-no-Kurou-Yoshitsune?
[03:16] Gu
    I see. The talisman katana
    that I gave him then is now...
[03:23] Gu
    ...protecting you instead, isn't it?
[03:31] Gu
    Teruhi?
[03:34] Gi
    I am honored to see you again, Emperor.
[03:38] Gu
    No need for the formalities.
[03:40] Gu
    Call me "Grandpa" instead, perhaps.
[03:43] Gu
    Were you not aware?
[03:45] Gu
    Teruhi is my great-granddaughter.
[03:49] Gu
    She came to see me once, long ago.
[03:52] Gi
    Yes... When I was just barely a child.
[03:56] Gi
    I don't know how you could
    identify me at a glance...
[04:00] Gu
    The Sou Clan lost many lives to the Mongols.
[04:04] Gu
    But not all who know you have perished.
[04:10] Gu
    I am one of those who remember.
[04:13] Gu
    Your face reminds me of all of them.
[04:16] Gu
    My wife, my daughter, my granddaughter...
[04:22] Gu
    You are, without any
    doubt at all, my family.
[04:30] Gu
    Teruhi, take this.
[04:34] Gu
    A letter to Magistrate Nagamine.
[04:37] Gi
    Nagamine-dono?
[04:39] Gi
    Of the Toibarai?
[04:40] Gu
    Yes. It contains orders to protect
    the people of Sasu and the capital.
[04:46] Gu
    They did all they could
    at the Battle of Dan-no-ura that day,
[04:53] Gu
    but they failed.
[04:56] Gu
    But one of those they fought
    to protect remains!
[05:02] Gu
    As long as I live, they remain,
    in one sense, victorious.
[05:08] Gu
    Teruhi, do all you can to protect
    the people of the island.
[05:14] Gu
    If you want to win, you need to survive!
[05:20] Gi
    You have my word!
[05:24] Gu
    The Sou Clan were once part of the Heike.
[05:28] Gu
    In the Battle of Dan-no-ura,
[05:29] Gu
    my great-grandfather managed
    to save the emperor from death
[05:32] Gu
    and bring him to this island.
[05:35] Gu
    My father was given the emperor's
    granddaughter to take as a wife,
[05:39] Gu
    and I was born.
[05:41] Gu
    I see.
[05:46] Gi
    I've always done my best
    to pretend the emperor doesn't exist.
[05:51] Gi
    My royal blood made them
    call me the "noble child."
[05:55] Gi
    Even my father treated me
    like I was different. I hated it.
[05:59] Gi
    But now I'm glad I have it.
[06:04] Gi
    This imperial order will surely be a light
[06:08] Gi
    that protects the people
    of Sasu and the capital,
[06:12] Gi
    and all of Tsushima itself!
[06:18] Gu
    You want us to rely on the Toibarai?
[06:20] Gi
    The emperor gave us his guidance.
[06:23] Gi
    They make their camp up ahead, at Aso Bay.
[06:27] Gu
    But the Toibarai refuse
    to obey the Sou Clan!
[06:31] Gu
    They've ignored our orders for years...
[06:34] Gu
    We'd bring shame upon ourselves
    by asking them for help.
[06:42] Gi
    Enough!
[06:43] Gi
    It's far too late to be worrying about that!
[06:45] Gu
    The Toibarai say they're the
    descendants of Japan's protectors.
[06:49] Gu
    What does that mean?
[06:50] Gu
    No idea.
[06:51] Gu
    I don't know the details.
[06:53] Gu
    Soldiers are all so stupid.
[06:56] Gu
    They were sent to places
    like this and Kyushu
[07:00] Gu
    to defend Japan from outside invaders.
[07:03] Gu
    But that was centuries ago.
[07:07] Gu
    I've never heard anyone say
    anything to indicate they'd survived.
[07:10] Gu
    But Kuchii-dono, even if
    they helped us in battle once,
[07:14] Gu
    will they provide shelter
    for so many people?
[07:17] Gu
    If it were me, I'd tell
    us to get the hell out.
[07:22] Gu
    I love the smell of the sea!
[07:26] Gu
    So that's Aso?
[07:28] Gu
    When I went up Mt. Shiratake this morning,
[07:31] Gu
    I was able to get a look at the whole area.
[07:33] Gu
    This bay has a very interesting shape.
[07:36] Gu
    There are countless inlets
    in the bay, like a maze.
[07:40] Gu
    They're impassible, which is probably
    why the main Mongol force isn't here.
[07:45] Gu
    This lake looks like it's filled with piss.
[07:48] Gi
    Idiot. This connects to the sea.
[07:52] Gi
    I'm sure he doesn't know the difference
    between a lake and an inlet.
[07:57] Gi
    This kid doesn't.
[07:59] Gu
    Who the hell are you?
[08:00] Gi
    I won't let anybody insult our sea. Even you.
[08:04] Gu
    Who are you calling a kid?
[08:05] Gu
    I dare you to say that again!
[08:07] Gu
    What is this thing?
[08:10] Gi
    Are you from this area?
[08:17] Gu
    A ship?
[08:22] Gu
    Are they here to receive us?
[08:24] Gu
    No, something's chasing them.
[08:29] Gu
    That's...
[08:34] Gu
    Mongols!
[08:36] Gu
    They're already here?
[08:38] Gu
    Hide in the forest!
[08:42] Gu
    You said it was a peaceful sea!
[08:45] Gu
    There's no such thing as a peaceful sea.
[08:46] Gu
    It's all the same sea everywhere.
[08:48] Gu
    Princess, let's hide in the
    forest and see what happens.
[08:51] Gi
    Impossible.
[08:53] Gi
    We can't abandon those women.
[08:56] Gu
    So what's your plan?
[08:58] Gi
    Do something now, Jinzaburou!
[09:02] Gu
    If you want to do it, we can't screw it up.
[09:05] Gu
    If we let even a single one escape,
    they'll find out where we are.
[09:07] Gu
    We'll lure them into a trap.
[09:10] Gu
    I'll strike with a bow from the beach...
[09:12] Gi
    Wait.
[09:14] Gi
    They'll be fine.
[09:18] Gi
    Almost there!
[09:19] Gu
    Don't kill them! Capture them alive!
[09:29] Gu
    We're not letting them get away that easily.
[09:31] Gu
    Search carefully.
[09:41] Gu
    They're on the other side, as well!
[09:43] Gu
    It's a trap! Turn back!
    Get back into the sea!
[09:49] Gu
    Don't let a single one escape, men!
[10:00] Gu
    We'll have to swim back!
[10:15] Gu
    Will they allow us to stay
    with them, you think?
[10:19] Gi
    What's wrong, Genpachi?
[10:21] Gi
    Weren't you more concerned
    about the clan's honor?
[10:24] Gi
    What changed?
[10:26] Gi
    But...
[10:28] Gi
    We have a lot of people who need shelter.
[10:31] Gi
    This may be a difficult negotiation.
[10:35] Gu
    Hey.
[10:37] Gu
    You survived?
[10:39] Gu
    We came to repay the debt we owe you
    when you launched that night attack.
[10:43] Gu
    Like hell you did.
[10:45] Gu
    You came to make your debt
    even deeper, didn't you?
[10:49] Gi
    You did an amazing job as
    commander, Nagamine-dono.
[10:52] Gi
    So the Mongols are here, as well?
[10:55] Gu
    Princess Teruhi...
[10:57] Gu
    That's the second group.
[10:59] Gu
    But both were small.
[11:01] Gu
    Fortunately, the Mongols
    do not yet know we exist.
[11:05] Gu
    We've made sure none of them survive.
[11:08] Gu
    That's why the fact that the Mongols
    are pursuing you is a problem.
[11:13] Gi
    Nagamine-dono, I come here as a messenger.
[11:17] Gi
    I have come to give you
    the divine words of our emperor.
[11:22] Gu
    A gourd...
[11:26] Gu
    I remember that, once, our emperor
    described this island as a gourd.
[11:48] Gu
    We have obeyed the emperor's
    orders for generations.
[11:53] Gu
    Without his words, I would not have
    been able to convince everyone.
[11:58] Gu
    You are welcome.
[12:02] Gi
    I'm so glad you're safe, Tatsu-neesama!
[12:04] Gi
    Sana, it was fine.
[12:07] Gi
    The abalones are a tougher opponent.
[12:11] Gu
    Women divers, huh?
[12:12] Gu
    Hah! Women divers who are
    a match for the Mongols, huh?
[12:16] Gu
    You tie the wound to keep
    the poison from spreading.
[12:21] Gu
    Then immerse the entire body
    below the heart in water.
[12:23] Gu
    Somebody carry them.
[12:25] Gu
    Am I going to die?
[12:28] Gu
    I don't know.
[12:29] Gu
    But you've been treated
    by the finest doctor in Japan.
[12:33] Gu
    That should be good enough for you.
[12:35] Gu
    It's good to have a doctor,
[12:38] Gu
    even if the rest of you are useless.
[12:41] Gu
    Mongols who use poison arrows?
[12:44] Gu
    These Mongols are different
    from the others as well, then.
[12:49] Gu
    Their bows and arrows are identical
    to the other Mongols and the Goryeo forces,
[12:54] Gu
    but they carry both regular
    arrows and poison ones.
[12:57] Gu
    Their hair is different as well.
[13:00] Gu
    Perhaps they speak a different language.
[13:02] Gu
    They're called the Jurchen.
[13:06] ---
    The Jurchen?
[13:07] Gu
    Or the "Toi" as well.
[13:10] Gu
    "Toi"?
[13:12] Gu
    Well, you wouldn't know.
[13:15] Gu
    Princess Teruhi,
    we will take you to our castle.
[13:21] Gu
    Kanatanoki.
[13:39] Gu
    We've been walking for an hour!
[13:42] Gu
    How far up are we going?
[13:46] Gu
    Here.
[13:49] Gu
    This is Kanatanoki.
[13:53] Gu
    I've never seen a castle
    with such large stone walls.
[13:57] Gu
    Never thought I'd see something like this
    on an exile's island at the ends of the Earth.
[14:01] Gu
    Did you build this?
[14:03] Gu
    No, our ancestors did.
[14:05] Gu
    Six hundred years ago,
    in the distant, distant past.
[14:09] Gu
    Six hundred years?
[14:11] Gu
    You act like the Mongols
    and the outsiders are a new threat.
[14:16] Gu
    But the Toibarai have devoted our lives
    for centuries to battling them here.
[14:24] Gu
    I'm aware this will seem rude,
[14:26] Gu
    but members of the Sou Clan,
[14:27] Gu
    you're going to have
    to follow our orders here.
[14:30] Gu
    What?
[14:31] Gu
    Will Magistrate Nagamine
    suffice to lead them himself?
[14:36] Gi
    Genpachi.
[14:38] Gi
    We don't have time to waste complaining.
[14:40] Gu
    But Princess...
[14:41] Gu
    Do not concern yourselves.
[14:43] Gu
    You'll be welcomed as guests.
[14:47] Gu
    This place is amazing!
[14:49] Gu
    Look how far these walls go!
[14:52] Gu
    Hey, kid! Get off the walls!
[14:54] Gu
    How far do they go?
[14:56] Gi
    They go around and connect in a circle, kid.
[14:59] Gu
    You again?
[15:01] Gi
    They say idiots, and you,
    kid, both like hiding places.
[15:04] Gu
    That's "smoke" that likes high places!
[15:05] Gu
    You keep calling me a kid,
    but you're not that much older than me!
[15:09] Gi
    You're so scary!
[15:11] Gi
    Want to have a race along the walls, then?
[15:14] Gi
    We'll both run in opposite directions,
    and the first one to meet the other wins.
[15:17] Gu
    You're a girl, and you think
    you can win a race against me?
[15:20] Gu
    Then the loser has to be the winner's slave!
[15:23] Gi
    Fine by me!
[15:25] Gu
    Crap!
[15:27] Gi
    Aw...
[15:28] Gu
    Now come inside the castle, everyone.
[15:38] Gu
    It's so dark in here that I can't tell
    the difference between inside and outside.
[15:42] Gu
    The castle itself is hidden, probably.
[15:45] Gu
    Princess, some of the people
    have already escaped here.
[15:48] Gu
    Their villages were
    destroyed by the Mongols.
[15:51] Gu
    There was an attack last night.
[15:54] Gu
    Hey, is that you, Obusuma Saburou?
[15:59] Gu
    Shiraishi and Kuchii...
[16:01] Gu
    You're alive?!
[16:03] Gu
    Yeah. You are, too, huh?
[16:05] Gu
    Where have you been?
[16:08] Gu
    Well, you see...
[16:10] Gi
    Who is that?
[16:13] Gu
    Who am I? You bitch!
[16:15] Gu
    You dragged me to this island!
[16:18] Gu
    Don't tell me you forgot!
[16:20] Gi
    Oh, the coward who ran before the attack.
[16:25] Gu
    So you do remember!
[16:26] Gu
    And what the hell does that mean?
[16:29] Gu
    Let's have a chat later.
[16:32] Gu
    Yeah, good idea.
[16:33] Gu
    There's something I can't wait to tell you.
[16:40] Gu
    It goes all the way up!
[16:43] Gu
    What is this castle?
[16:44] Gu
    The top!
[16:46] Gu
    It's still going?
[16:48] Gu
    They surrounded the entire mountain?
[16:51] Gu
    That must've taken forever.
[17:02] Gi
    Um... I win!
[17:04] Gu
    No, I win!
[17:06] Gu
    I ran into you first!
[17:08] Gu
    Um... Does that make any sense?
[17:12] Gu
    We're always going to run
    into each other at the same time.
[17:14] Gu
    There's no way to tell who wins.
[17:17] Gi
    You're right, in a sense.
[17:21] Gu
    What was the point of
    this race you made me run?
[17:26] Gu
    It just exhausted me.
[17:33] Gi
    What are we doing? This is so silly!
[17:38] Gu
    What are we doing?
[17:43] Gi
    It's been forever
    since I've laughed like this...
[17:50] Gu
    Me, too.
[18:03] Gi
    They have blacksmiths and artisans, too?
[18:06] Gu
    They seem to have a large
    stockpile of armor and weapons...
[18:09] Gu
    How did they make all of this
    without the Sou Clan knowing?
[18:14] Gu
    What's that?
[18:15] Gu
    Those are stone-throwers.
[18:17] Gu
    It's a weapon that flings rocks,
    something we've used since the earliest days.
[18:22] Gu
    I'd love to see them used sometime.
[18:26] Gu
    You'll get your chance.
[18:28] Gu
    This place is incredible...
[18:32] Gu
    You took a lap around it?
[18:33] Gu
    What did you see?
[18:34] Gu
    It's so big, it goes up around
    the whole top of the mountain.
[18:38] Gu
    I'd say it's about a mile and
    a quarter all the way around.
[18:41] Gu
    A mile and a quarter?
[18:42] Gu
    The walls are tall, and there
    are a total of four entrances.
[18:45] Gu
    Four...
[18:48] Gu
    Do they have enough defenders?
[18:50] Gu
    Hey, brat. Stop pretending you're a scout.
[18:54] Gi
    Who cares if he does, Gorouta?
[18:56] Gi
    It doesn't hurt anything.
[18:58] Gi
    And his name's not "brat."
[19:00] Gi
    The kid's name is Amushi!
[19:02] Gu
    Stop calling me "kid!"
[19:04] Gi
    What's over there is even more amazing!
[19:05] Gi
    It's almost a waste to let you see it!
[19:07] Gu
    What? Where?
[19:09] Gi
    What got into Sana?
[19:12] Gi
    She's totally different than
    when she went up the walls.
[19:15] Gi
    That's a rare thing to see...
[19:17] Gi
    Is there some kind of legend that walking
    around the castle walls brings couples together?
[19:25] Gu
    Maybe I should talk a walk around
    the walls to inspect them myself...
[19:30] Gi
    Kano! Don't be stupid!
[19:33] Gi
    You take over here!
[19:35] Gi
    I'm going to check on everyone else.
[19:37] Gi
    Princess!
[19:40] Gu
    We've prepared a small meal to welcome you.
[19:46] Gu
    Black porgy.
[19:47] Gu
    Dried and salted dolphin.
[19:49] Gu
    Kudzu soup with yuzu fruit,
    tachibana fruit, and sake.
[19:52] Gu
    What do you think?
[19:54] Gu
    We eat the same foods
    as the people in the capital.
[19:58] Gu
    You're so formal.
[20:00] Gu
    Look over there. They've
    finished tasting for poison.
[20:06] Gu
    Sake! I'm alive again!
[20:09] Gu
    Stop it!
[20:12] Gu
    It's been four days
    since we've had a real meal.
[20:15] Gu
    My stomach was getting
    sick of all that dried rice.
[20:18] Gu
    You did an amazing job
    at the Battle of Sasu.
[20:21] Gu
    Let us tell the story of Sou Sukekuni-dono's
    deeds until the end of our clan's days!
[20:28] Gu
    Thank you, people of the Toibarai.
[20:30] Gu
    You took us in, but you took
    all the people in, as well.
[20:36] Gu
    It's our job as defenders of Japan.
[20:41] Gu
    Especially if the emperor
    orders us to do so.
[20:44] Gu
    This castle, Kanatanoki, is amazing, though.
[20:49] Gu
    Indeed. Even their explosives
    couldn't break these walls.
[20:53] Gu
    And you have the lay
    of the land on your side, as well.
[20:55] Gu
    You could turn any Mongol that
    attacked into an arrow pincushion.
[21:00] Gu
    We're simply using the things
    and lessons that our ancestors left us.
[21:05] Gu
    If you do that, you'll be wiped out.
[21:09] Gu
    This castle's too big.
[21:11] Gu
    Too big to be useful.
[21:14] Gi
    I haven't liked you since the other day.
[21:18] Gi
    You've got a problem with our castle, too?
[21:22] Gu
    You're never gonna get that much female
    attention again for the rest of your life.
[21:26] Gu
    Kuchii, what does that mean?
[21:29] Gu
    I took a walk around the walls, and just
    like I thought, you don't have enough guards.
[21:33] Gu
    It's so big, there's no way
    you can defend it all.
[21:35] Gu
    It's like a child trying
