[00:00] [SONG] ---
We look the same, but men call us monsters.
If we shadows, which lurk
between eras, are destined to die,
then I shall fall with the cherry blossoms.
Then, I shall fall with the cherry blossoms.
[00:10] ---
It was rude of me to do so,
[00:14] ---
but I tested your skills.
[00:19] ---
The Dainagon of Suruga
wishes to speak to you.

[02:43] ---
Suruga-sama was sent to Kouzuke?
[02:46] ---
That's the story...
[02:48] ---
Forced exile at Kofu wasn't good
enough for the shogun.
[02:54] Gi
That's what Iemitsu-sama said?
[02:55] Gu
The story of their animosity is well-known.
[03:02] Gi
Hey...
[03:03] Gi
I'm helping you, so no yawning.
[03:07] Gi
But it's an awful story.
[03:09] Gi
Two brothers, hating each other.
[03:11] Gu
The destiny between them is that powerful.
[03:15] Gu
It's possible that what happened was also...
[03:20] Gu
You see, it's something I've
been thinking about.
SIGN Joujinshuu
[03:26] Gu
Four years ago, Gei'in's last message
[03:30] Gu
said that the Kurokuwa and
Joujinshuu attacked them.
[03:35] Gu
The Kurokuwa are servants of the shogun.
[03:38] Gu
And they attacked Suruga-sama.
[03:41] Gu
Which means...
[03:44] Gi
Impossible.
[03:45] Gu
They did so at the shogun's order.
[03:49] Gu
At least, Suruga-sama might
make that assumption.
[03:53] Gu
No, most likely anyone would.
[04:00] Gu
Indeed. The fact that it's so
obvious is what worries me.
[04:04] Gu
Perhaps the goal was to make
Suruga-sama think that,
[04:08] Gu
to turn his heart to evil.
[04:10] Gi
To evil?
[04:13] Gu
Treason, for example.
[04:14] Gu
If he had even the slightest thoughts of it,
[04:18] Gu
that would give the shogun
an excuse to crush him.
[04:22] Gu
So...
[04:24] Gi
No way.
[04:26] Gu
I'd like to think he wouldn't go that far.
[04:29] Gu
But if Joujin was behind this...
[04:34] Gu
It wouldn't be difficult for him
to control the Kurokuwa.
[04:39] Gu
Did he and the shogun have a connection?
[04:43] Gu
If we knew that, we could narrow
down the possible moves
[04:47] Gu
the Joujinshuu could make.
[04:49] Gi
Then, ask the shogun.
[04:51] Gu
It isn't that easy.
[04:53] Gi
If you want into Edo Castle,
[04:55] Gi
I do have a way.
[05:11] Gu
Intruder. We, the Kurokuwa
of Iga, will defeat you.
[05:37] Gu
Did you think to cut the
threads we hang from?
[07:21] Gi
My lord... My lord...
[07:24] Gi
The Kurokuwa have returned.
[07:27] Gu
The ninjas?
[07:29] Gu
What of them?
[07:31] Gi
Have you forgotten?
[07:33] Gi
You ordered them to delay Suruga-sama.
[07:38] Gu
Suruga? Tadanaga?
[07:41] Gu
Why would I... delay Tadanaga?
[07:48] Gi
Do you have any message for Joujin-dono?
[07:54] Gu
Who is that?
[07:56] Gu
I don't know that name.
[07:59] Gi
Farewell, then.
[08:01] Gi
Forget all that has happened
tonight. And rest.
[08:12] Gi
Intruder!
[08:14] Gi
My lord! Are you all right?
[08:27] Gi
Intruders! Everyone, get them!
[08:29] Gi
My lord, wake up!
[08:47] Gu
It seems you wasted your time...
[09:02] Gu
I believe it's better for both
of us if we make no noise.
[09:06] Gi
Was that your doing, as well?
[09:10] Gu
It's a pleasure to meet you,
[09:14] Gu
Namenba-dono, of Iga.
[09:53] Gi
Houren?
[09:55] Gi
Gorone-san said it could be seen as one...
[09:59] Gi
What's a houren?
[10:01] Gi
A carriage the emperor rides in.
[10:05] Gi
But it could also be a castle.
[10:08] Gi
I wonder if it's Portuguese.
[10:12] Gi
I don't know...
[10:13] Gi
But it's good for bringing customers in.
[10:15] Gi
During the three days since it appeared,
our sales have gone way up.
[10:20] Gi
But who's in it, really?
[10:23] Gi
The Joujinshuu.
[10:27] Gi
Impossible. Are you saying they made it?
[10:30] Gi
I don't know. But I feel something bad in it.
[10:35] Gi
Something bad?
[10:37] Gi
Just like when they came.
[10:40] Gi
Then, we shouldn't just be staring at it.
[10:44] Gi
Shouldn't we go talk to the men?
[10:48] Gi
No.
[10:50] Gi
They're gone. They have
been since yesterday.
[10:54] Gi
Gone?
[10:55] Gi
Gone how?
[10:57] Gi
Don't ask me.
[11:00] Gi
Then, we'll do it ourselves—
[11:02] Gi
Wait.
[11:04] Gi
I may just be imagining it.
[11:06] Gi
Yeah...
[11:08] Gi
And if it's a castle, we should
wait for Namenba.
[11:12] Gi
But she isn't here.
[11:14] Gi
Let's wait.
[11:15] Gi
She said she'll be here before
the cherry blossoms bloom.
[11:18] Gi
But...
[11:20] Gi
This is an order from me, as leader.

[11:58] Gu
Well done.
[11:59] Gu
I am glad you have come.
[12:01] ---
Yes, my lord.
[12:03] Gu
Relax.
[12:05] Gu
I have no title and no territory now.
[12:12] Gu
Have you heard why you've been called here?
[12:16] Gu
No.
[12:18] Gu
I have come here as part of my duty,
[12:21] Gu
as former leader of the
Five Treasures of Kouga.
[12:23] Gu
Former, eh?
[12:26] Gu
I am sorry for what I did to them.
[12:29] Gu
That is a ninja's duty.
[12:31] Gu
Indeed.
[12:33] Gu
You know the one called "Joujin," yes?
[12:37] Gu
The one who slew the Five Treasures of
Kouga and the Five Flowers of Iga.
[12:42] Gu
When it happened...
[12:44] Gu
When the Five Treasures were defeated...
[12:46] Gu
I was there.
[12:49] Gu
I am aware.
[12:51] Gu
I see.
[12:53] Gu
They defeated the Five Treasures
and the Five Flowers
[12:59] Gu
simply to show me their power.
[13:03] Gu
Indeed.
[13:05] Gu
To demonstrate our power to you.
[13:09] Gu
Joujin captured me, and he
pushed me to do a certain thing!
[13:16] Gu
Have you heard the stories?
[13:19] Gu
That this thing appeared near Kinokawa?
[13:24] Gu
He calls it "Murakumo."
[13:34] Gi
Going to look at it?
[13:36] Gi
Don't make noise...
[13:39] Gi
Is it all right to leave that thing?
[13:42] Gi
What do you think?
[13:46] Gi
Right?
[13:48] Gi
We should definitely go and investigate it.
[13:52] Gi
If we learn it has nothing to
do with the Joujinshuu,
[13:54] Gi
that's the end of it, right?
[13:56] Gi
But Hibiki said not to go.
[13:58] Gi
We'll just go for a bit and come right back.
[14:01] Gi
Isn't it better for Hibiki
[14:03] Gi
that we know what that is,
so she needn't worry?
[14:12] Gi
Why not offer an imperial carriage to
Mount Kouya in my mother's memory?
[14:17] Gi
That is what Joujin suggested, and I
gave him much money to do it,
[14:22] Gi
thinking it would help my mother.
[14:25] Gi
This was six years ago.
[14:27] Gi
To be honest, I'd almost forgotten.
[14:30] Gi
But...
[14:31] Gi
Now, you find this?
[14:33] Gi
Does that look like an imperial
carriage to you?!
[14:36] Gi
It's a castle!
[14:38] Gi
And they made such a thing during
[14:42] Gi
my father's mourning period!
[14:45] Gi
Why would he make such a thing?
[14:48] Gi
I don't know...
[14:49] Gi
I don't know.
[14:51] Gi
A castle was constructed without
the Shogunate's knowledge,
[14:54] Gi
and I paid for it.
[14:58] Gi
If people learn this, what am I to say then?!
[15:02] Gi
Joujin slew the Five Treasures
and Five Flowers
[15:06] Gi
just to raise money from you
for an imperial carriage?
[15:10] Gi
For that, alone?
[15:13] Gi
What are you trying to say?
[15:21] Gi
That's right...
[15:23] Gi
Considering you to be an
enemy would be suicide.
[15:28] Gi
I would not use my techniques on my lord.
[15:32] Gi
I knew it. I can't hide it from you.
[15:39] Gi
Only you and I are here.
[15:43] Gi
Hachirou, tell no one what I am about to say.
[15:47] Gi
Understood?
[15:49] Gi
As you wish.
[16:11] Gi
Only you two?
[16:13] Gi
That lord's a liar.
[16:15] Gi
It's true... It's true that Joujin
[16:19] Gi
encouraged me to rebel against my brother.
[16:23] Gi
He promised that he would
keep my mother alive...
[16:31] Gi
The forest.
[16:32] Gi
Yes, unless the forest is moved,
failure is impossible.
[16:37] Gi
He deceived me!
[16:40] Gi
True, my mother's health improved then.
[16:45] Gi
But less than six months later...
[16:49] Gi
And... the forest!
[16:52] Gi
The forest?
[16:55] Gi
The forest moved!
[17:07] Gi
Two years ago, I went to inspect my territory
[17:10] Gi
and was resting at Sengen Shrine.
[17:17] Gi
I was tired from my travels,
and in a bit of a dreamy haze.
[17:36] Gi
The forest around the shrine...
[17:42] Gi
It moved?
[17:44] Gi
Indeed.
[17:45] Gi
It came right for me!
[17:48] Gi
I-Impossible...
[17:50] Gi
The forest can't move!
[17:51] Gi
My lord!
[17:55] Gi
Monkeys! They're monkeys!
[17:57] Gi
What? Monkeys?
[18:00] Gi
My lord, this way.
[18:03] Gi
Curse you, monkeys...
[18:05] Gi
You monkeys think that you, beasts, can...
[18:09] Gi
can mock me?!
[18:11] Gi
My lord...
[18:12] Gi
Kill them! Fire your arrows!
[18:15] Gi
W-Wait, my lord.
[18:17] Gi
These monkeys are holy beasts,
messengers of the gods!
[18:21] Gi
I don't care...
[18:23] Gi
It must not move.
[18:24] Gi
The forest must not move!
[18:26] Gi
M-My lord!
[18:36] Gi
Hachirou, laugh at me, please.
[18:39] Gi
Joujin told me that, unless the forest
moved, it wouldn't happen.
[18:44] Gi
And... And it moved!
[18:46] Gi
What else could this be
but the punishment of heaven?!
[18:50] Gi
Joujin... He's a demon.
[18:54] Gi
I was a fool...
[18:56] Gi
I can never be such a fool again!
[19:00] Gi
Hachirou, will you destroy
that castle, Murakumo?
[19:05] Gi
Destroy the five Joujinshuu
and burn it to the ground!
[19:09] Gi
Not just for me!
[19:11] Gi
For the Tokugawa! For the safety of Japan!
[19:15] Gi
I refuse.
[19:17] Gi
Wh-What?
[19:19] Gi
I'm sorry, but don't try to take
advantage of us, further.
[19:22] Gi
What? What?
[19:24] Gi
What did you say?!
[19:27] Gi
Have you forgotten?
[19:28] Gi
In the nineteenth year of Keichou,
[19:30] Gi
eighteen of the best Iga and Kouga ninjas
[19:34] Gi
died for nothing more than to determine
the Tokugawa clan's next heir.
[19:39] Gi
That isn't all.
[19:41] Gi
The Five Treasures and Five Flowers
[19:44] Gi
died for you, a fool who thought of treason.
[19:49] Gi
And young ninjas were almost killed, as well.
[19:54] Gi
We ninjas refuse to sacrifice ourselves
for the likes of the Tokugawa!
[20:00] Gi
"The likes of the Tokugawa"?
[20:02] Gi
Scum, how dare you say that?
[20:04] Gi
I've told you my deepest thoughts!
[20:07] Gi
But you would refuse me?!
[20:13] Gi
You won't return alive!
[20:32] Gi
Connect with my eyes!
[21:05] Gi
Saizou?
[21:07] Gi
Surprised, Hachirou?
[21:09] Gi
My techniques have also improved...
[21:11] Gi
I call this technique "Hundred Eyes."
[21:15] Gi
Fool! He's over there!
[21:24] Gi
Will you still fight?
[21:27] Gi
If so, you will only suffer for nothing.
[21:36] Gi
My lord, if we let him go,
[21:39] Gi
the Shogunate will learn of your feelings.
[21:43] Gi
No...
[21:44] Gi
That cannot happen.
[21:47] Gi
Kill him...
[21:49] Gi
Kill him.
[21:52] Gi
Kill him!
