[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.
SIGN    Takasaki Castle
SIGN    Tadanaga's Residence
[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!
