[00:52] priest
    Anything that's reached its zenith
    will eventually decline, huh...
[00:57] priest
    Well, then...
[01:06] priest
    I'd like to borrow an axe.
[01:14] sonzae
    Tarobei, nice work
    saving up for this new place.
[01:20] sonzae
    Well done.
[01:21] sonzae
    What a splendid mansion.
[01:25] taro
    It's nothing.
[01:27] taro
    Well, the thing I'm most proud of
    would have to be the alcove.
[01:34] guest
    What was that?
[01:49] taro
    Er... What are you going
    to do with that axe?
[01:54] priest
    Well, I thought I'd
    perform a lucky charm
[01:58] priest
    in honor of your new place.
[02:18] sonzae
    I-It can't be...
[02:20] taro
    N-No! It can't be!

    Oh, no!

    Ma-Maeda-sama...
[02:39] nar
    This man...
[02:41] nar
    is the man who was known as
    a legendary samurai,
[02:46] nar
    as well as a legitimate eccentric.

    Maeda Keiji
[02:49] nar
    Maeda Keiji.
[02:53] taro
    It's true that you are
    a very well-known eccentric.
[02:57] taro
    No one ever knows what you might do!
[02:59] taro
    But this is too much!
[03:03] taro
    I just had it built! It's brand new!
[03:08] keiji
    That's exactly why.
[03:09] taro
    Huh? What are you saying?
[03:12] keiji
    Don't you get it?
[03:18] sonzae
    Th-That's... Naoe-sama.
[03:27] nar
    And the other samurai who
    just made an appearance
SIGN    Naoe Kanetsugu
[03:31] nar
    is Naoe Kanetsugu.
[03:33] ---
    Part of the Uesugi family,
    he is the governor
[03:35] ---
    of 300,000 koku of the Yonezawa fiefdom,
[03:38] nar
    and Keiji's best friend.
[03:46] kane
    Everyone, listen well!
[03:51] kane
    Everything in this world
[03:52] ---
    that's reached its zenith
    will eventually decline.
[03:55] kane
    Once you're satisfied and conceited,
[03:57] kane
    your luck takes a turn for the worst
[03:59] ---
    and eventually leads
    to your destruction.
[04:06] kane
    It's too bad about that pillar.
[04:10] kane
    But because of that wound,
[04:12] ---
    this house will not get any grander.
[04:18] kane
    Tarobei,
[04:20] ---
    take a long hard look at that wound
    and engrave it into your heart.
[04:25] kane
    That is what Keiji-dono
    is trying to say.
[04:32] keiji
    What the hell?
[04:35] keiji
    He stole my line.
[04:40] taro
    M-Maeda-sama...
[05:09] kane
    Kokuzouin Hyottokosai.
[05:13] kane
    It's been a very long time
    since you gave yourself
[05:16] kane
    that name for the fun of it.
[05:19] keiji
    Yeah.
[05:20] ---
    I've been enjoying everything nature
    has to offer here in Doumori.
[05:26] kane
    And I look forward to visiting
    you with sake in one hand.
[05:34] keiji
    Which makes the sake even better.
[05:38] keiji
    Say,
[05:39] ---
    wasn't the first time we
    drank together in Kyoto?
[05:45] kane
    Indeed. That was the summer of 1588.
[05:52] kane
    After the end of the Shibata clan,
[05:55] kane
    and the province of Echigo
    had finally been united after battle,
[05:58] kane
    of which Hideyoshi was informed
[05:59] ---
    as he proceeded to the capital.
[06:02] kane
    But it was also the year
[06:04] ---
    that started the life-or-death battle
    involving the survivors of Uesugi.
[06:12] keiji
    Shall we talk about our tales for a while?
[06:22] kane
    Indeed. To our heart's
    content over some sake.
[06:38] ---
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[06:42] ---
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[06:46] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[06:50] nar
    I repeat.
[06:52] nar
    "Gi" truly means
    "For one to live beautifully."
[07:03] nar
    Two eccentrics enter battle.

SIGN    Uesugi Kagekatsu's Manor
[08:43] kane
    Wh-What?!
[08:45] kane
    Uwanariuchi?!
[08:46] hachi
    Indeed... I am ashamed of myself.
[08:51] kane
    So...
[08:53] kane
    Are you asking me
    to mediate this fight?
[08:56] guy
    No, that is not what we're asking...
[08:59] guy
    However, depending on
    the situation, he will die.
[09:02] kane
    What?!
[09:04] guy
    Therefore, I thought he may
    not be able to fulfill
[09:08] ---
    his duties in Kyoto,
    so I brought him here.
[09:12] kane
    Exactly what's going on?
    Tell me everything.
[09:16] hachi
    W-Well...
[09:19] dude
    On this day, the 24th of July...
SIGN    Uwanariuchi
[09:22] nar
    Uwanariuchi is a fight among women
[09:26] ---
    when a husband remarries another woman
[09:30] ---
    within a month of his divorce.
[09:33] nar
    The first wife gathers helpers
[09:36] ---
    and then barges into the
[09:38] ---
    second wife's kitchen,
    wielding wooden swords.
[09:41] nar
    But of course, the second wife
    isn't going to take this lying down,
[09:45] nar
    so she gathers helpers, and they
    wield wooden swords of their own
[09:47] ---
    for an all-out brawl.
[09:49] nar
    However, a third party is normally called
[09:51] ---
    to get in the middle of this
[09:53] nar
    and pays the first wife
    a suitable amount of money
[09:57] ---
    to try to get her to leave.
[10:00] kane
    Then there shouldn't be an issue.
[10:03] guy
    But you see... the helper
    they got was bad.
[10:06] hachi
    Indeed! Why did it
    have to be that man?!
[10:09] kane
    Wait. Uwanariuchi is supposed
    to be conducted by women.
[10:13] kane
    A man is participating?
[10:14] guy
    Well... This person isn't someone
[10:17] ---
    who is willing to listen
    to logic very easily.
[10:19] kane
    Oh? And who is this man?
[10:22] guy
    H-His name is...
[10:27] guy
    The legendary samurai
    in battle, Maeda Keiji.
[10:31] kane
    What? Is this true?
SIGN    Uesugi Kagekatsu
[10:42] nar
    After Kenshin passed away, he took over
[10:46] nar
    and rules over Echigo,
    Uesugi Kagekatsu.
[10:49] nar
    Because of the deep wrinkles
     between his brow that has had since birth,
[10:53] ---
    it is said that he has never smiled.
[11:03] kage
    So Maeda Keiji is helping out
    with something like an uwanariuchi?
[11:07] kane
    It is said that he is such
    a legendary eccentric
[11:10] ---
    that everyone in Kyoto knows of him.
[11:13] kane
    Meaning logic will mean nothing to him.
[11:17] kage
    But isn't Maeda Keiji the one...
[11:21] kane
    Yes.
[11:23] kane
    It was right before Oda Nobunaga
    was trying to take over the country
[11:27] kane
    and was proceeding into our Echigo...
SIGN    Kasugayama Castle
[11:32] kane
    We were trying to isolate
    our enemy's advanced guard,
[11:34] kane
    Mori Nagayoshi's army,
    at Kasugayama castle.
SIGN    Mori Nagayoshi
[11:39] kane
    To do so, we stopped
    the Takigawa forces at Mikuni Pass,
[11:42] kane
    as well as Shibata Katsuie
    at Uozu Castle.
[11:45] kane
    Also, to make it look like we
    were sending reinforcements
[11:49] ---
    to Uozu castle, we sent back
    Kagekatsu-sama's squad,
[11:54] kane
    and with the assistance
    of the Yoita clan,
[11:57] ---
    we were planning to surround
    them all at once.
[12:02] kage
    It was an all-or-nothing move,
    and our victory was determined.
[12:09] kane
    But...
[12:12] kan
    A man had arrived at Mikuni
    Pass with alarming speed.
[12:18] kane
    And because of his advice,
[12:24] kane
    we lost, right when
    we were going to win.
[12:28] kane
    And that man...
[12:41] kane
    was Maeda Keiji.
[12:55] kane
    Mosuke!
[13:08] mosuke
    You're kidding!
[13:10] mosuke
    From that distance?
[13:16] kane
    A beast has shown himself.
[13:19] kage
    So why is a man like that
[13:21] kage
    intruding into something
    like an uwanariuchi?
[13:25] kane
    I don't know.
[13:27] kane
    But this war looks like
    it's going to get interesting.
[13:35] mosuke
    Jeez. You should just leave it alone.
[13:39] kane
    I cannot.
[13:41] kane
    Kihachi is a retainer
    of the Uesugi clan.
[13:44] kane
    We'll have to see
    this through with him.
[13:46] mosuke
    Well, I'd like to see what this
    legendary eccentric is like, too.
[13:53] mosuke
    But who knows where he might be?
[13:54] voice
    Over here.
[14:03] mosuke
    Jirobo!
[14:04] ninja
    Finding Maeda Keiji was
    as simple as could be.
[14:08] ninja
    He's very easy to spot.
[14:13] kane
    I see.
[14:15] mosuke
    What?
[14:17] mosuke
    What?!
[14:20] girl
    Right this way.
[14:22] girl
    Welcome, sir.
SIGN    Capital Red-Light District, Nishinotoin
[14:25] mosuke
    We're going to the red-light district during the day?
[14:30] mosuke
    Then I might as well...
[14:33] ninja
    You stay here and watch the horses.
[14:35] mosuke
    What?! Why don't you do that?!
[14:38] ninja
    Are you stupid?
[14:40] ---
    Do you think a ninja would stay
    still in front of a shop??
[14:43] mosuke
    What the hell?! I'd like
    to play sometime... Huh?
[14:49] mosuke
    H-Huh?!
[14:53] grams
    Welcome.
[14:55] kane
    I was looking for someone.
[14:58] grams
    Who might that be?
[15:05] kane
    That's...
[15:08] kane
    a melody from a biwa.
[15:11] kane
    Prepare some sake for me.
[15:13] grams
    Understood.
[15:46] kane
    Pardon.
[16:33] chick
    Are you a customer?
[16:35] kane
    No.
[16:37] kane
    That is a nice tune.
[16:39] ---
    Mind if I listen for a while?
[16:42] keiji
    Sure. That's fine.
[17:08] nar
    The two said nothing.
[17:11] nar
    The song from the biwa
[17:13] nar
    was very bright and free of malice.
[17:38] nar
    For quite some time,
    Keiji continued to play,
[17:45] nar
    and Kanetsugu continued to drink.
[17:56] nar
    However, Keiji's song suddenly changed.
[18:32] keiji
    You can try at any time.
[18:35] keiji
    You want to cut me down and make
    a name for yourself, don't you?
[19:11] chick
    Trying to cut down Keiji-han
    is rather rash, samurai-han.
[19:34] guy
    Why... what... something's wrong!
[20:04] keiji
    You've got something rare, there.
[20:07] keiji
    So...
[20:09] keiji
    Did you want to go a round?
[20:26] kane
    The song from the biwa...
[20:28] kane
    was quite the treat.
[22:18] kane
    I'm surprised you can
    sleep in this heat.
[22:21] mosuke
    Well, I was rather bored.
[22:26] kane
    Let's go.
[22:28] mosuke
    Huh? W-Wait for me!
[22:33] mosuke
    So, how did it go?
    Did you take care of Keiji?
[22:37] kane
    No. I can't lay a finger
    on him before the uwanariuchi.
[22:42] mosuke
    Oh, right...
[22:44] kane
    But...
[22:47] kane
    I saw something splendid.
[22:56] chick
    What's wrong?
[23:00] keiji
    At that moment,
[23:03] keiji
    to make me prepare for my death...
[23:06] keiji
    Who was that man...
[23:11] mosuke
    Then you didn't even give your name?
[23:15] kane
    I thought I should come
    back another time.
[23:19] kane
    And today,
[23:21] kane
    I was able to see
    Keiji-dono's gi, his righteousness.
[23:25] mosuke
    Gi?
[23:26] kane
    Indeed.
[23:29] kane
    The flowers of righteousness
     were in full bloom,
[23:32] kane
    magnificently flowing
    with the song from the biwa.

    It was six years ago...
[06:36] ---
    It was when our Oda Army was
    infiltrating Mt. Kasuga Castle.

    Our armies were approaching from
    three different directions,
[06:45] keiji
    and it should have been
    an overwhelming victory,
[06:49] keiji
    but it was all a diversion to try
[06:52] keiji
    to annihilate us by sending
    our main forces back.
[06:57] keiji
    We had realized this and quickly
    withdrew, escaping from the area.

    I have another story
    which may explain that...
[08:47] keiji
    I see.
[08:49] ---
    So he's mediating at the uwanariuchi.
[08:54] keiji
    Then I shall greet him with the stroke
[08:58] ---
    of my sword on another day.
[09:01] mosuke
    But how strange...
[09:03] mosuke
    Maeda Keiji was supposed
[09:05] ---
    to be the next head
    of the Maeda clan...
[09:09] mosuke
    So why has he become a ronin?
[09:13] kane
    There is actually
    an interesting story to that.
[09:17] girl
    Come on. You know you want to.
[09:20] kane
    Mosuke, let us have
    that story while we clean ourselves.
[09:24] mosuke
    Huh?
[09:27] mosuke
    Hot!
[09:29] kane
    Then how's this?
[09:32] mosuke
    Now I'm cold...
[09:36] kane
    And so,
[09:37] kane
    this was one of the
    reasons that Keiji-dono
[09:40] ---
    ended up absconding from Maeda Toshiie.
[09:43] mosuke
    This is?
[09:45] kane
    Yes. You see...
[09:49] kane
    It happened in Kanazawa,
    at Maeda Keiji's manor.
[09:54] kane
    One day, Keiji-dono invited
    Maeda Toshiie-dono to his manor
[09:58] kane
    and offered him a bath,
    leading him there.
[10:02] keiji
    Please, this way.
[10:03] toshi
    A bath!
[10:04] kane
    It was a very cold day.
[10:05] ---
    Very good. Very good.
[10:08] kane
    Considering Toshiie-dono had been
    shivering this whole time,
[10:11] kane
    he was rather excited
    about the bath and jumped in.
[10:13] toshi
    A bath! A bath! A hot bath!
[10:17] kane
    However...
[10:19] toshi
    It's cold!
[10:21] kane
    The bath was filled with cold water.
[10:24] mosuke
    Why would he play such a prank?
[10:28] kane
    It appears that Keiji-dono
    didn't like the fact that
[10:30] ---
    Toshiie-dono did whatever
    the chief advisor told him to do.
[10:34] kane
    Though he may be a daimyo,
[10:37] ---
    once he has lost his righteousness,
[10:40] ---
    he might as well as be a ronin...
[10:43] kane
    That's what he said as he left Kanazawa.
[10:46] mosuke
    So he became a ronin
    for the sake of righteousness?
[10:49] kane
    Indeed. That is the spirit
    of an eccentric.
[10:53] kane
    This was what you told me, was it not?
[10:56] not a girl
    Indeed. That is what I heard.
[11:03] not
    E-Excuse me, sirs!
    You can't come in here like that!
[11:06] ronin
    Shut up!
[11:10] kane
    To bring your swords in here...
[11:13] kane
    They're just going to rust.
    What a waste.
[11:18] ronin
    Shut up and listen.
[11:20] ronin
    We recognize you as Naoe
    Kanetsugu of the Uesugi clan.
[11:24] mosuke
    So what if he is?
[11:25] ronin
    We have heard that you
[11:28] ---
    will be mediating Yamada Kihachi's
    current wife's uwanariuchi.
[11:32] ronin
    We'd like you to decline.
[11:34] kane
    Oh? Why might that be?
[11:37] ronin
    As you know, Maeda Keiji-dono
[11:40] ---
    will be participating
    in this uwanariuchi.
[11:44] ronin
    Keiji-dono is a legitimate eccentric.
[11:47] ronin
    Despite it being a fight among women,
    there is no doubt
[11:50] ronin
    that he will not care,
     and there will be bloodshed.
[11:53] ronin
    But we have heard that
[11:56] ---
    a retainer of the Uesugi
    clan will be mediating.
[11:58] ronin
    This will just make
    things more difficult.
[12:01] ronin
    That is why we would
    like you to withdraw.
[12:05] kane
    I see.
[12:06] ---
    So you'd like to hurry
    and receive the cash that
[12:09] ---
    will be given to stop this feud.
[12:11] ronin
    Shut your mouth!
[12:12] ronin
    We are just trying to stop
[12:14] ---
    anyone from getting hurt
    during this uwanariuchi!
[12:17] ronin
    First of all, you are
    obviously unarmed!
[12:21] ---
    You cannot refuse!
[12:22] kane
    Well then. Are you here
    on Keiji-dono's behalf?
[12:25] ronin
    That doesn't matter!
[12:40] mosuke
    That's...
[12:42] kane
    I ask again.
[12:43] ---
    Are you here on Keiji-dono's behalf?
[12:47] ronin
    Sh-Sh-Shut up!
[12:48] ronin
    We have no reason to answer!
[12:55] ninja
    No shinobi would ever leave
    his master completely unarmed.
[13:02] kane
    Thank you for the information in regards
[13:04] ---
    to Keiji-dono absconding, Jirobo.
[13:08] kane
    Because of that, I now see
    the truth behind this uwanariuchi.

    calm yourself.

    Y-You say that, but we're
    dealing with Maeda Keiji!

    My body is shaking on its own!
[13:34] guy
    Good grief. I apologize
    for this, Kanetsugu-sama.
[13:40] guy
    But why did you divorce
    your previous wife
[13:44] ---
    and marry your new one within a month?
[13:50] guy
    If you had waited,
    there wouldn't be such
[13:52] ---
    a grudge, and this whole thing
    could have been avoided.
[13:55] hachi
    But I was lonely...
[13:56] kane
    Indeed...
[13:58] kane
    The only one here with no
    righteousness is Kihachi.
[14:00] mosuke
    I wonder if Maeda
    Keiji's really coming?
[14:04] jirobo
    Jeez...
[14:06] jirobo
    Kanetsugu-sama told us to stay behind.
[14:10] mosuke
    Well, if this guy's that much
    of an eccentric, I'd like to see it.
[14:15] mosuke
    That, and there's something
    that concerns me.
[14:18] jirobo
    Concerns you?
[14:19] mosuke
    Yeah. About the master
    yesterday at the bath..
[14:23] mosuke
    He looked like something
    else yesterday.
[14:28] jirobo
    Something else?
[14:30] mosuke
    I swear I've seen it before...
[14:33] mosuke
    Do you happen to know, Jirobo?
[14:36] jirobo
    Did you see it?

    Huh?

    If you saw it, forget about it!
[14:42] mosuke
    B-But what was that...
[14:45] jirobo
    I can tell you, but are you
    prepared to die for it?
[14:49] mosuke
    Huh? Die for it? Why?
[14:52] jirobo
    That is something Kanetsugu-sama
    is going to take to his grave.
[14:56] jirobo

    and said that he was Maeda Keiji.
[19:39] jirobo
    The men yesterday were also involved.
[19:42] jirobo
    Hearing that Naoe-sama was now involved,
[19:45] ---
    they tried to stop him.

    And this other samurai

[00:33] keiji
    The moon...
[00:35] keiji
    If you think about it,
[00:37] ---
    the two of us are like moons
    that are shadows of the sun.
[00:41] kane
    Indeed.
[00:42] ---
    Originally, you were set
    to carry on the Maeda name...
[00:47] kane
    Yet, with one word
    from Lord Nobunaga,
[00:49] ---
    that title was stolen
    by Toshiie-dono.
[00:54] keiji
    It's all right.
[00:55] ---
    Because of that, I get to sit here
    and admire the beauties of nature.
[01:00] keiji
    However, the moon you had to bare
    was rather troublesome.
[01:07] keiji
    Because you concealed the fact
    that you were a retainer.
[01:12] keiji
    Therefore, for those who could see,
    it was beautiful
[01:16] keiji
    and for those who could not see,
    they didn't see a thing.
[01:22] keiji
    It took me by surprise
    when I found out, as well.
[01:37] keiji
    Indeed. It was during
    the battle for Sado in 1589.
[01:57] nar
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[02:01] nar
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[02:05] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[02:09] nar
    I repeat.

    The Honma clan of Sado
    keep repeating their internal strife

[07:23] kane
    Indeed.
[07:25] kane
    It's not as if the civil war
    in Sado had just started,
[07:30] kane
    so why is the Chief Advisor
    interested in it now?
[07:36] kane
    In my opinion...
[07:38] kane
    I believe this is Sassa
    Narimasa all over again.
[07:41] kage
    That would be...
[07:43] nar
    Kagekatsu immediately understood
    what Kanetsugu was implying,
[07:46] ---
    and trembled at the thought.
[07:48] nar
    Because...
[07:50] kane
    Indeed.
[07:51] kane
    Around that time,
[07:53] ---
    Sassa Narimasa was moved
    from Etchu to Higo.
SIGN    Etchu

[08:14] keiji
    Despite that, Narimasa hurried
    to go survey the land.
[08:19] kane
    But the citizens there didn't agree
    to any of this, and revolted.
[08:24] kane
    Narimasa was not able
    to contain the revolts.
[08:27] kane
    And because of that...
[08:35] keiji
    Sassa Narimasa had to commit
    seppuku because of misrule.

    His clan collapsed.
[08:43] keiji
    At first glance, it looked like
    a regular course of action,
[08:47] keiji
    but it was, in fact, an ingenious trap
[08:49] keiji
    that the Imperial Advisor had set
    for his former enemy
[08:53] ---
    who he felt was still in the way.
[08:57] kane

[09:06] kage
    That villain...
[09:08] kane
    No.
[09:09] ---
    It's because he is a villain that he
    was able to conquer the whole country.

    Then Kanetsugu...

    Since it's come to this,
[09:24] kane

    However,

[00:04] keiji
    What a horrible thing to happen.
[00:06] kane
    Indeed.
[00:07] kane
    Around that time, Hideyoshi's
    former enemy, Sassa Narimasa,
[00:10] kane
    was sent to lead
    the Kyushu government,
[00:13] kane
    sending him to Higo from Etchu.
[00:16] keiji
    It appeared to be a joyous event,
[00:19] keiji
    but Higo was in turmoil.
[00:22] keiji
    Narimasa was met with
    opposition from the citizens,
[00:25] keiji
    and couldn't contain the revolts.
[00:27] kane
    Sassa Narimasa had to commit
    seppuku because of misrule.
[00:32] kane
    His family collapsed.
[00:34] kane
    But Hideyoshi had foreseen all of this
[00:36] kane
    and was the one who
    set up this ingenious trap.
[00:39] kane
    And that same trap has now
    been set for us, the Uesugi clan.
[00:43] hide
    Do you not want Sado,
    Uesugi-dono?
[00:51] kane
    Since he had not been able
    to stop the civil war in Sado,
[00:56] kane
    there was nothing
    he could say in return.
[00:58] kane
    Despite knowing this was a trap
[01:00] kane
    that Hideyoshi had set
    in order to obtain Echigo,
[01:02] kane
    we headed into Sado to conquer it.
[01:06] kane
    And that was when...
[01:13] keiji
    It's obvious that my conniving uncle
    is involved in this matter.
[01:19] kane
    But this battle
[01:21] kane
    is like sticking your head

    It is good that you have been put in charge

    And they thought they
    could take over Sado.

    no right to try to govern us.

    But...
[15:00] kane
    Fujita-dono, this first battle
    was not wasted.

    What do you mean by that, sir?
[15:12] kane
    Please look.
[15:13] kane
    The Hamochi army is heavily laid out,
    determined not to let us cross the river.
[15:20] fuji
    That is, indeed, a troublesome defense.
[15:23] fuji
    But with the size
    of our Uesugi army,
[15:26] fuji
    it is possible to push them
    back with just our numbers.
[15:29] kane
    Yes, but if Takatsuna's army
    were to attack us from behind...
[15:37] fuji
    That would leave us surrounded!
[15:39] fuji
    Does that mean the Sado armies...
[15:41] kane
    Indeed. As long as we know that
    the two are working together,
[15:46] kane
    it's dangerous for us
    to make the first move.
[15:48] fuji
    But the Kawarada army
    won't move on its own.
[15:53] fuji
    That means a battle will never start.

[18:04] mosuke
    Shinobi wouldn't let their
    identities be known that easily...
[18:07] keiji
    I see!
[18:09] keiji
    So Naoe-dono's secret plan was
    to make use of these women.
[18:15] seion
    It's because we're
    women that it works.
[18:17] seion
    Men... say things quite easily

[18:25] keiji
    Point taken...
[18:28] seion
    Naoe-sama, as you already know,
    the north and the south
[18:33] seion
    are planning to continue
    this facade of a war.
[18:36] kane
    What's the ulterior motive behind that?
[18:38] seion
    Hideyoshi's messenger
    has already left Kyoto.
[18:43] mosuke
    Huh? What? Why would a messenger
    of mediation have left
[18:47] mosuke
    if the battle hasn't started yet...
[18:50] kane
    That messenger will claim
    the Uesugi clan is incompetent
[18:54] kane
    for not being able to bring
    Sado under control.
[18:59] mosuke
    Sir?
[19:00] keiji
    I see.
[19:05] keiji
    That'd be more than
    enough of an excuse
[19:08] keiji
    for Hideyoshi to take
    the Uesugi clan's land from them.
[19:13] mosuke
    Th-That's so selfish!
[19:15] jiro
    No, this whole battle in Sado
    was to render the Uesugi clan powerless.
[19:24] kane
    It appears that the identity
    of the tiger is becoming apparent.

    But...

    You can't run now,
    can you, Uesugi?
SIGN    Uesugi
[19:43] keiji
    An island with no righteousness...
[19:45] keiji
    so that is Sado.
[19:47] kane
    No, that's not true.
[19:52] keiji
    Who is the one being cremated here?
[19:57] seion
    She was only fifteen...
[20:00] seion
    This nun...
[20:02] seion
    died to dispose of the Kaga
    shinobi who was onto us.
[20:10] jiro
    If only...
[20:12] jiro
    If I was in Sado earlier,
    I could have saved her life.
[20:19] seion
    It's all right.
    This is also fate.
[20:34] kane
    This rugosa rose
    was blooming on the shore.

    Please use it as a hair accessory
    for your trip into the next world.

    The moon tonight shines upon even
     the koi swimming under the water.
[00:07] keiji
    However, at Sado, we were, indeed,
     koi upon a cutting board.
[00:15] kane
    Yes.
[00:17] kane
    That was June of 1589.
[00:19] kane
    Due to the scheme of the Chief Advisor
     at the time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi,
[00:23] kane
    we headed to Sado, with the fate
     of the Uesugi clan in our hands.
[00:27] keiji
    However, what we saw there was
    a foolish play due to the fact that
[00:30] keiji
    the Kawarada-Honma clan of the north
     and the Hamochi-Honma clan of the south
[00:34] keiji
    had joined together secretly
    and were pretending to be at war.
[00:39] kane
    Because of that, we were unable to act,
[00:43] kane
    and we almost were destroyed
[00:46] kane
    without being able to bring
    the Chief Advisor's scheme to light.
[00:50] keiji
    And then your secret plan took flight!
[00:57] keiji
    These women...
[01:00] kane
    Kumano Buddhist nuns.
[01:02] kane
    They bear the sorrows of the world
[01:04] kane
    and have no choice
    but to rely on Buddha.
[01:10] keiji
    I see!

    was to make use of these women.

    Right.

    Now, get moving!

    Grandfather!
[05:17] kane
    How horrible...
[05:18] kane
    Just for the sake of this foolish play?
[05:33] sub
    Well done, sir.
[05:35] taka
    Hmph. I can't really brag
    when the targets are that flimsy.
[05:38] taka
    I'm done.
[05:42] taka
    More importantly, what about
    the Chief Advisor's messenger?
[05:45] sub
    Yes, sir. They should reach Sado
     in about two days.
[05:54] fat
    I see. Two days, huh?
    I can hardly wait.
[06:01] sub
    Takatsuna-sama, the Uesugi army
     has ordered us to cross the river
[06:05] sub
    and attack the enemy.
[06:09] fat
    They say that,
[06:11] fat
    but as soon as we step into the water,
    we'll be greeted by a hailstorm of bullets.
[06:14] fat
    We'd like to move, but we can't.
[06:16] fat
    Right? Right?
[06:18] sub
    Yes, sir.
[06:20] fat
    However, since we should
    probably honor their request,
[06:24] fat
    go ahead and put more
    of the farmers into the river.
[06:33] fat
    Do your best at getting shot!
[06:43] kane
    I beg of you to wait.
[06:44] kane
    These men are not soldiers, but farmers
     who have nothing to do with this war.
[06:49] kane
    If you're going to attack the enemy,
    why not use your own men?
[06:54] fat
    What?!
[06:57] fat
    What are you talking about?
[07:00] fat
    Unlike you, our Kawarada-Honma
    clan lacks numbers,
[07:04] fat
    so we have no choice
    but to attack with farmers!
[07:10] fat
    Not to mention, these brave farmer
     soldiers have volunteered themselves
[07:16] fat
    to help the North ensure victory. Right?
[07:20] fat
    Speak the truth, and you know what'll
    happen to your family and village. Right?
[07:26] old
    Y-Yes, sir...
[07:29] fat
    See? It brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?
[07:33] fat
    They're sacrificing themselves for Sado.
[07:40] mosuke
    These men...
[07:43] fat
    Alrighty, off you go...
    not to the River Styx, but to the River Kou.
[07:47] old
    Y-Yes, sir...
[07:50] mosuke
    Hey, wait a second!
[07:53] olds
    No... This is our duty...
[07:58] fat
    See? Have fun!
[08:08] fat
    See ya!
[08:12] mosuke
    So cruel!
[08:13] keiji
    This is annoying. How 'bout
    we take care of the fat one first?
[08:18] kane
    No, we'll just have to let them go for now.
[08:22] kane
    Keiji-dono. Did you not see
    the tears in those farmers' eyes?
[08:36] kane
    Those tears are not from the fear of dying...
[08:42] kane
    Those are tears of joy
[08:44] kane
    because they are able to protect
    their families and village.
[08:53] keiji
    Then...
[08:54] kane
    Indeed! Those are the farmers'
    tears of righteousness.
[09:01] keiji
    Then we will have to completely destroy
     this world of suffering known as Sado.
[09:07] kane
    Yes.
[09:18] kage
    It's been seven days since we arrived in Sado.
[09:22] kane
    It appears that we'll have to
     proceed with just our army.
[09:25] fuji
    But if that were to happen,
    the army of the North would betray us,
[09:29] fuji
    join up with the South, bear their fangs at us,
    and then have us surrounded.
[09:33] fuji
    You said that yourself,
     did you not, Naoe-dono?
[09:37] kane
    However, if the fangs
    of the South were to break...
[09:40] fuji
    What?
[09:44] kage
    The North would then attack the South
     since they have no chance of winning,
[09:47] kage
    and because they fear our fangs.
[09:51] fuji
    I-I see... do you plan on using
    some magic, then, Naoe-dono?
[10:02] kane
    It's about to begin...
[10:10] soldier
    Damn it...
[10:12] soldier
    We keep getting more and more geezers
    because Takatsuna-sama's having fun...
[10:22] soldiers
    Wh-What?!
[10:30] keiji
    Let's have you leave
    those old men behind.
[10:38] soldier
    M-Monster! Stay back! We'll kill them!
[10:51] keiji
    I apologize for frightening you.
    Now, go back to your villages.
[10:58] olds
    Thank you! Thank you!
[11:05] kane
    Mosuke!
[11:06] mosuke
    Y-Yes, sir!
[11:11] mosuke
    But why are we taking the North's flags?
[11:16] kane
    Do you not understand?
[11:17] kane
    The farmers who were shot
     in the river did not have flags,
[11:20] kane
    and Fujita's army that was
     attacked had the Uesugi flags.
[11:25] kane
    Meaning, the North and the South
    are attacking those who do not have flags.
[11:33] mosuke
    Huh?
[11:34] kane
    To put it another way, as long as we
    have the flags of the North army,
[11:38] kane
    the South will not fight seriously.
[11:42] kane
    However, that leaves them less guarded.
[11:45] mosuke
    I see!
[11:47] keiji
    Surprising the enemy and attacking
    at once will ensure our victory!
[11:52] mosuke
    But will it really go that easily?
[11:56] kane
    Of course, this is nothing
     more than a wager.
[12:01] kane
    But know this!
[12:03] kane
    Both Heaven and Hell are left behind;
[12:06] kane
    I stand in the moonlit dawn,
     free from clouds of attachment.
[12:11] keiji
    Those words...
[12:13] keiji
    resonated in my soul.
[12:16] kane
    Those are the words that
    Lord Kenshin said on his deathbed.
SIGN     Both Heaven and Hell are left behind;
    I stand in the moonlit dawn,

    the destination is Heaven or Hell.
[12:26] keiji
    Just like the moonlit dawn,
    my soul is bright.
[12:34] keiji
    A magnificent resolve in the face of death.
    Nothing less from Lord Kenshin.
[12:39] keiji
    And I was about to learn
    the greatest secret of the Uesugi clan
[12:43] keiji
    that linked Lord Kenshin
     and Kanetsugu-dono...
[12:48] keiji
    along with the end of the attack on Sado.
[12:52] kane
    Yes... But speaking of resolve...
[12:58] keiji
    The ones we should not forget
    are those beautiful soldiers...
[13:05] seion
    We shall accompany you.

    Y-You're...
[13:29] nar
    It can be said that in this age of war,
    there were no men and women in battle.
[13:36] nar
    It was not uncommon for women
     to be foot soldiers.
[13:41] kane
    But why would nuns like yourselves do this?
[13:45] seion
    I shall give you that answer if we survive.
[13:57] keiji
    It's as if they are flowers
     on the battlefield.
[14:01] fuji
    Naoe-dono is dangerous!
[14:03] fuji
    I heard that he is going to engage in battle,
     using a rather odd method.
[14:07] fuji
    At this rate, he'll end up as I did the other day when we were defeated by the South!
[14:13] kage
    Fujita!
[14:13] fuji
    Yes, sir!
[14:15] kage
    You will now know the real Kanetsugu.
[14:18] fuji
    Sir?
[14:27] fat
    Who the hell are they?
[14:39] taka
    They seem to be headed this way.
[14:41] sub
    They are carrying the flags of the North...
[14:45] taka
    We have no choice.
[14:46] taka
    Shoot some warning shots
     into the sky and scare them off.
[14:49] sub
    Yes, sir.
[15:06] soldier
    Hey, we don't have to attack because
     they have the North's flags, right?
[15:10] soldier
    Yeah, that's right.
[15:27] jiro
    All that's left is to get rid
    of this horse trap.
[15:35] taka
    But did the North have men
     who looked like that?
[15:42] sub
    That barbarian armor and giant horse...
[15:44] sub
    Could that be Maeda Keiji?!
[15:48] fat

    We will be going as well, Fujita.
    We cannot let Kanetsugu die!
[17:29] fujita
    Yes, sir!
[17:31] sub
    Mi-Milord! The South's army
     is being destroyed,

    and the Uesugi army is heading our way.
[17:38] sub
    What shall we do? Please decide!
[17:46] fat
    All troops attack the southern army!
[17:49] sub
    But, Milord, that's—
[17:50] fat
    I will not assist a crippled army.
[17:53] fat
    So we shall strike and destroy

    surrendered to Uesugi, one after another.
[19:50] nar
    The head of the South's army, Honma Takasue,
[19:54] nar
    ran back to Hamochi Castle after his defeat.
[19:57] nar
    And when the Chief Advisor's
     messenger arrived,
[20:02] nar
    everything was done.
[20:06] messenger
    I-Impossi—
[20:33] kane
    We would not have been able to win this
     battle without your help, Seion-dono.
[20:39] seion
    No, it is was all Buddha's guidance.
[20:43] kane
    Now that you've survived, what do
    you wish of the promise you made?
[20:57] seion
    Yes. I would like to bring
    a red-light district to this land...
[21:01] seion
    And I would like to run it.
[21:03] kane
    Wh-What?
[21:06] seion
    After this, there will be many men
    who will come here looking for gold.
[21:13] seion
    And from that,
[21:14] seion
    a world of suffering for women called
     the red light district will be born.
[21:19] kane
    Are you saying you will protect these women
     by becoming the master of this world of suffering?
[21:25] seion
    I have seen many forms
    of righteousness in this land.
[21:29] seion
    First, the righteousness as a samurai that you
     and the others have shown, Kanetsugu-sama.
[21:33] seion
    Another form was the farmers' righteousness
     to protect their families and village.
[21:37] seion
    Everyone had their own righteousness.
[21:41] seion
    Therefore, if we can save other women
    who are enduring a life of prostitution,
[21:46] seion
    that is the righteousness of us,
     who serve Buddha.

    If that is, indeed, righteousness,

[03:26] hide
    Naoe Kanetsugu and Maeda Keiji...
[03:29] hide
    How I'd love for them to work for me.
[03:32] uncle
    Wh-What? I-It's still early
    to speak so highly of those two.
[03:39] uncle
    The Honma clan of North Sado still remains.
[03:44] uncle
    I'm sure as soon as the Uesugi clan leaves,
[03:46] uncle
    they will be back to quarreling,
    and Sado will be back in turmoil.
[03:51] hide
    No. It's pointless to hope for such.
[03:54] uncle
    Huh?
[03:57] hide
    As long as Naoe Kanetsugu exists,
    he won't leave Sado alone.
[04:04] uncle
    Well, then... I'm looking forward
     to what punishment may come.
[04:27] kane
    They are men from
    the Hamochi-Honma clan.
[04:30] kane
    They were spotted as they
     escaped to Echigo by boat,
[04:34] kane
    and their heads were taken there.
[04:39] keiji
    Why did they go to Echigo?
[04:41] kane
    The Hamochi-Honma clan have some
     territory in Kashiwazaki of Echigo...
[04:46] kane
    I'm assuming they were planning
     to make their recovery there.
[04:50] keiji
    I see...
[04:53] keiji
    Then these men ended up
     being rather brave.
[04:55] kane
    Indeed.
[04:57] kane
    They risked their lives for
    the righteousness they believed in.
[05:00] keiji
    Then there's the Kawarada clan
     that is a nuisance.
[05:05] seion
    Indeed.
[05:07] seion
    They have no righteousness.
[05:15] keiji
    What do you want to do?
[05:21] kane
    If we do not show them
    the Uesugi's righteousness,
[05:24] kane
    this battle in Sado will not end.
[05:33] fat
    There, there.
[05:41] fat
    There, there.
[05:44] fat
    You and you, a job well done!
[05:48] fat
    Everyone, a job well done!
[05:51] fat
    All of you, drink to your
     heart's content tonight!
[05:54] men
    Yeah!
[06:00] kage
    As soon as we invited them over
     for some victory sake,
[06:03] kage
    they brought their whole clan.
[06:06] fuji
    For crying out loud...
[06:07] fuji
    A drastic change from when they had
     no intention of fighting in battle.
[06:10] kage
    Look at Takatsuna's face...
[06:14] kage
    It's as if he thinks that he's the one
     who actually won the battle.
[06:24] mosuke
    Good grief.
[06:25] fat bg
    Come on! Next, next! Hurry it up!
[06:27] mosuke
    Things are gonna get dangerous soon.
[06:41] mosuke
    Told you...
[06:47] mosuke
    Here you go.
[06:49] keiji
    Uesugi's righteousness, eh?
[07:20] kane
    Let us start with a cup.
[07:22] fat
    Well...
[07:24] fat
    Uesugi's chief retainer himself
    is going to pour for me?
[07:31] mosuke
    Come on! Just accept the drink already.
[07:36] fat
    I see...
[07:37] fat
    So you're praising us for
    our achievements with a drink...
[07:43] fat
    But that is not right...
[07:49] fat
    That role should be filled
     by Kagekatsu-dono.
[07:54] fat
    To begin with, the Honma clan and the Uesugi clan are of equal rank.
[07:57] fat
    You should know that Kenshin-dono's father,
    Tamekage-dono, lost in the battle in Echigo
[08:02] fat
    and then relied on us
    when he escaped to Sado.
[08:07] fat
    If we hadn't protected him,
    there would be no Uesugi...
[08:11] fat
    or should I say, Nagao, since that's what
    he was before you were an Uesugi.
[08:31] fuji
    Curse him...
[08:33] kage
    Wait.
[08:34] fuji
    But Naoe-dono...
[08:37] fat
    The former leader of the clan,
    Uesugi Kenshin, knew that very well.
[08:47] kane
    Are you drunk, Takatsuna?
[09:15] fat
    What?!
[09:20] fat
    Wh-What...
[09:27] fat
    I-It can't be...
[09:29] fat
    Kenshin?!
[09:32] ken
    For a samurai...
[09:35] ken
    For a samurai, their fief
    is borrowed from the people.
[09:38] ken
    People of the fief are a treasure.
[09:41] ken
    However,
[09:42] ken
    you don't love your own people.
[09:45] ken
    Instead, you mercilessly
     kill them for your own desires.
[09:50] ken
    Those are the acts of a villain.
[09:52] fat
    Nah...
[09:55] ken
    Have you forgotten...
[09:57] ken
    that we fight under
    the flag of righteousness.
[10:12] fat
    You... can't be...
[10:16] fat
    Lord Kenshin's...
[10:24] kane
    Ask him yourself...
[10:27] kane
    in the afterlife!
[11:08] kane
    If anyone has any objections,
     take up your sword!
[11:12] kane
    If it's war you want, then go back
    to your territory and prepare for one!
[11:18] kane
    I, Naoe Kanetsugu,
    will gladly take you on!
[11:35] fuji
    Amazing...
[11:36] kage
    That is Naoe Kanetsugu.
[11:45] keiji
    This is...
[11:49] keiji
    Uesugi's righteousness!
[11:53] kane
    Sado shall now be punished
     by the righteousness of Uesugi!
[11:59] keiji
    And then an order was placed
     in various places around Sado,
[12:03] keiji
    banning any violence and rioting.
[12:07] keiji
    By Kagekatsu-sama's orders,
[12:09] keiji
    Naoe Kanetsugu-dono, you were put
    in charge of ruling over Sado.
[12:15] kane
    Yes.
[12:16] kane
    Because you helped as well,
    the uprising in Sado eventually disappeared,
[12:21] kane
    and we were able to break through
     Hideyoshi's plan to take over Echigo.
[12:25] keiji
    But the world is filled with irony.
[12:30] keiji
    To think that another troublesome event
    would happen as soon as that one ended.
[12:39] kane
    Indeed! There was another event
    that would affect the fate of the Uesugi clan.
[12:45] keiji
    And that was when I saw your form as
    the shadow, just like the moon is to the sun.
[13:30] kane
    What a sad sight.
[13:36] kane
    It appears that mother
     lost her husband in this war.
[13:44] keiji
    In her prayers, she is swearing
    that she will protect the children.
[13:52] kane
    Keiji-dono, can you read lips?
[13:57] keiji
    Well, I do come from the Koga clan.
[14:00] keiji
    That skill does come in handy during battle.
[14:06] keiji
    Actually...
[14:13] keiji
    It's a nuisance at times, as well.
[14:17] keiji
    Right before Honma Takatsuna died,
[14:21] keiji
    I'm sure I heard him call you Kenshin...
[14:31] keiji
    Goodness.
[14:33] keiji
    I'd never thought of being from the Koga
    clan as a nuisance until that moment.
[14:39] kane
    No, that was my carelessness.
[14:43] kane
    I apologize.
[14:47] kane
    But... everything started
     on that snowy day.
[14:53] kane
    It was impossible for
    the Uesugi clan to avoid it.
[15:14] voice
    Did you hear what was just said?
[15:26] kage
    Forgive me... but this is for Echigo.
[15:38] kane
    At first glance, it could be said that
    Naoe Kagetsuna-dono had gone mad,
[15:42] kane
    but his sword was, indeed,
    acting for the sake of Echigo.
[15:50] kane
    And the one who saw it all...
[16:00] kane
    Was the previous Chief Advisor,
    Konoe Sakihisa,
[16:03] kane
    And the baby of his
    younger sister, Princess Tae.
[16:09] kane
    But the identity of that child,
     as well as that baby's father
[16:13] kane
    was a secret among secrets of the Uesugi.
[16:17] kane
    I had no way of knowing myself.
[16:24] kane
    Not until I held that fan in my hand.
[16:36] kane
    Higuchi Yoroku... at your service.
[16:41] kane
    I will never forget that...
[16:43] kane
    It was when I was still sixteen
    and called Higuchi Yoroku.
[16:49] kane
    While in Kyoto, I was summoned
    and given that fan by none other than...
SIGN    Oda Nobunaga
[16:56] kane
    Oda Nobunaga.
[17:08] kane
    Pardon.
[17:28] nobu
    How about it,
[17:29] nobu
    Shindou?
[17:30] shin
    Y-Yes...
[17:34] shin
    Without a doubt.
[17:38] kane
    Why... Why does he cry
    when he sees my face?
[17:48] nobu
    Those tears can't be helped.
[17:52] nobu
    Higuchi Yoroku!
    I shall give that fan to you!
[17:56] nobu
    Take it with you to Echigo.
[17:59] kane
    Thank you, I am honor—
[18:00] nobu
    Take good care of it.
[18:03] nobu
    That is a keepsake of your mother's.
[18:06] kane
    My mother's?
[18:10] nobu
    That's right. The younger sister of the
    former Chief Advisor, Konoe Sakihisa,
[18:15] nobu
    Princess Tae, is your mother.
[18:18] kane
    Wh-What are you saying?
    My mother is of the Higuchi clan...
[18:24] shin
    No. Sixteen years ago,
[18:27] shin
    I personally took you from Kyoto
     and brought you to Echigo...
[18:35] kane
    B-But...
[18:38] nobu
    Do you not believe me?
[18:40] kane
    Indeed...
[18:41] nobu
    Then quickly go back to Echigo...
[18:44] nobu
    and ask for yourself...
    who your real father is.
[18:48] kane
    M-My real father?
[18:52] nobu
    It's been a pleasure.
[19:06] nobu
    Yoroku, that fan will guide you
    to your true father...
[19:12] nobu
    but at the same time,
    it will cause tears in Echigo.
[19:17] nobu
    Indeed. Tears of destruction.
[19:38] shin
    Princess Tae!
[19:53] kane
    Shindou-dono.
[19:56] kane
    Who is this "real father" he spoke of?
[19:58] shin
    I...
[20:01] shin
    cannot say myself...
[20:04] shin
    If I do, I will end up destroying a country.
[20:08] kane
    It's that severe?
[20:09] shin
    No. That's how much
    of a man is behind this.
[20:15] kane
    Destroying a country...
[20:18] kane
    When I heard that, I thought maybe...
[20:22] keiji
    Indeed.
[20:24] keiji
    At the time, the loyalty in relationships
    between daimyos and their retainers was vague.
[20:30] keiji
    Despite being retainers,
[20:31] keiji
    they, themselves, were guardians
     of their own territory for generations.
[20:37] keiji
    If they were not able
    to protect their territory,
[20:40] keiji
    they threw away their masters.
[20:43] kane
    And the people of Echigo were
     very passionate about their territory.
[20:50] keiji
    Because of that, even Lord Kenshin
    had to become a god.
[20:55] keiji
    Swearing a lifetime of celibacy,
     becoming the avatar of Bishamonten,
[20:59] keiji
    he became a god of war,
     winning every one of his battles,
[21:02] keiji
    and his retainers finally swore
     loyalty to him because of this.
[21:11] keiji
    That's where Nobunaga found an opening.
[21:16] voice
    Those powerful enough
    to take over a country...
[21:20] voice
    Are all villains.
[21:40] keiji
    Th-This is...
[21:43] voice
    That fan was enough
    to make even a god a man.
[21:47] voice
    That is because Higuchi Yoroku...
    no, Naoe Kanetsugu,
[21:53] voice
    you are the illegitimate child
    of Uesugi Kenshin!

[03:41] keiji
    Well, well...
[03:43] keiji
    To think that Nobunaga-dono
    would make an appearance.
[03:47] kane
    It appears a rather troublesome
    person has shown up.
[03:51] nobu
    I'm going to butt in for a while.
[03:54] nobu
    Because there's something I can't come
    to terms with on that situation, as well.
[03:59] kane
    You mean the fact that
    I'm still alive and well, even now?
[04:06] nobu
    Indeed.
[04:07] nobu
    It's true that you brought
     the fan back to Echigo...
[04:11] nobu
    So why did Echigo not fall?
[04:14] nobu
    Why didn't Kenshin fall back
     to being just a man?
[04:17] kane
    That's...

    Ah... Well, if it isn't Yoroku.
    When did you arrive back in Echigo?
[04:55] kane
    I have something I'd like to ask you.
[05:03] sou
    What's this?
[05:03] kane
    It belonged to Princess Tae, the younger
    sister of the former Chief Advisor.
[05:10] sou
    Wh-What?
[05:15] sou
    Yo-Yoroku...
[05:20] kane
    As soon as I got back to Echigo,
[05:22] kane
    I first went to my father,
     Higuchi Souemon.
[05:26] nobu
    I see.
[05:28] nobu
    So you confirmed who your real father was
[05:31] nobu
    and were prepared to die for Echigo?
[05:35] kane
    Yes.
[05:37] kane
    But before that, there was
    something else I wanted to confirm,

    so I went to see Lord Kenshin's
    older sister, Sentouin.

    And the steward of the Konoe clan,
     Shindou-dono, was present, as well.
[05:58] sen
    What?
[06:03] sen
    What is that?
[06:04] sou
    Nobunaga gave this to Yoroku.
[06:07] sou
    It appears to be

    P-Princess Tae?!

    Y-Yoroku...

    What are you wearing?

    It's no fun merely falling
    into Nobunaga's trap.
[06:36] kane
    Now that I've heard
    what needed to be said,
[06:40] kane
    I'll be waiting for him in the afterlife.

    I'll let Nobunaga kiss my ass.

[07:17] kane
    My father is Higuchi Souemon,
     without a doubt.
[07:23] sou
    Yoroku...
[07:25] kane
    Therefore, I would like to know
    exactly how I became Souemon's child.
[07:35] sen
    All right...
[07:37] sen
    Since you have that resolve, I shall tell you.
[07:47] sen
    The leader of the Naoe clan
     at that time, Kagetsuna-dono,
[07:52] sen
    had welcomed the Chief Advisor,
     Lord Konoe Sakihisa.
[07:56] kono
    With my power as the Chief Advisor,
    and Kagetora-dono's military might,
[08:01] kono
    we should be able to conquer
     the Kanto area fairly easily.
[08:03] kono
    Then, we'll conquer
    the territories around Kyoto.
[08:06] kono
    We shall return the Muromachi
    Shogunate to how it once was.
[08:10] kono
    That is what Kagetora-dono
    and I aspire to do.
[08:13] kage
    Yes, and that is why you established
     a blood oath with my lord.
[08:19] kono
    But it turns out...
[08:21] kono
    I now have considerably
     stronger proof of that promise.
[08:33] kage
    A baby?
[08:35] kono
    This baby was born from Kagetora-dono
    and Tae, my late younger sister.
[08:43] kage
    Wh-What?!
[08:45] kono
    This is the true proof of my blood oath.
[08:49] kage
    Th-That's impossible...
[08:53] kono
    There we go.
[08:55] kono
    There, there.
[09:00] kono
    You look just like
    Kagetora-dono, don't you?
[09:05] kono
    There...
[09:23] kage
    Did you hear what was just said?
[09:36] kage
    Forgive me... but this is for Echigo.
[09:57] kage
    In Echigo...
[09:59] kage
    even the retainers believe Kagetora-sama
     is the avatar of Bishamonten.
[10:05] kage
    Because of that, our hearts are as one.
[10:12] kage
    And you're saying that despite his oath
    of celibacy to the gods and Buddha,
[10:16] kage
    he had a child with the younger sister
     of the Chief Advisor in the shadows...
[10:22] kono
    What are you saying I should do then?
[10:24] kage
    If a war were to start in Echigo,
[10:27] kage
    the dream that you share with
    Kagetora-sama will never come to pass!
[10:34] kage
    I, Naoe Kagetsuna, shall take that baby.
[10:42] sen
    After I heard what had
     happened from Kagetsuna,
[10:48] sen
    I ended up relying on Souemon,
[10:51] sen
    as he is who I was closest with and
    so could be trusted with this secret.
[10:59] sou
    We are stationed here
    in the mountains year-round,
[11:03] sou
    therefore, no one would be suspicious
    if we suddenly had a baby.
[11:13] sou
    Very well. I, Higuchi Souemon,
     shall guard this child with my life.
[11:26] kane
    But in that case, I should have
     just been abandoned...
[11:30] kane
    No... I should have been killed.
[11:33] kane
    Then Nobunaga wouldn't be taking advantage
     of this situation in his quest for Echigo.
[11:41] sen
    Do you think that Omijou-sama
[11:42] sen
    swore an oath of celibacy
     because he wanted to?
[11:46] kane
    W-Well...
[11:49] sen
    For Echigo, he had no children.
[11:51] sen
    He didn't know about
    the happiness of normal people,
[11:53] sen
    and was left to carry
    everything upon his shoulders.
[11:56] sen
    Why would I let the child
    of my younger brother be abandoned?
[12:06] kane
    S-Sentouin-sama...
[12:12] sen
    If I were to abandon you,
[12:14] sen
    though the people may forgive me,
     the heavens would not.
[12:17] sen
    This was the righteousness of myself,
     Kagetsuna, and Souemon.
[12:25] kane
    So, you're saying that the reason I lived
    was because of righteousness?
[12:31] sen
    Indeed.
[12:34] sen
    You are the child of our righteousness.
[12:45] kane
    I am the child...
[12:47] kane
    of your righteousness.
[12:55] nobu
    I see.
[12:57] nobu
    So you were spared
    because of righteousness.
[13:02] nobu
    But that can't be the only reason
[13:04] nobu
    you were able to protect
    Echigo from my plans.
[13:08] kane
    Indeed.
[13:10] kane
    And then I went to meet
     Lord Kenshin for the first time...
[13:16] sen
    Now, Yoroku, go to the battlefield...
[13:20] sen
    And meet Omijou-sama.
[13:23] sen
    There, you should be able to discover
    what you should do with regards to that fan.
[13:59] kane
    Omijou-sama!
[14:01] ken
    Yoroku...
[14:03] ken
    Come admire the moon with me.
[14:13] nobu
    And?
[14:14] nobu
    Don't tell me that you suddenly wanted
    to live after drinking with Kenshin.
[14:19] kane
    No...
[14:21] kane
    But on that night,
[14:22] kane
    I had learned from Lord Kenshin
    where it is that I should die.
[14:27] nobu
    Where you should die?
[14:30] kane
    Yes, for that is the
    righteousness of Uesugi.
[14:35] ken
    Yoroku!
[14:36] ken
    If you are a samurai, do not cut open
    your belly without fighting.
[14:41] ken
    Die on the battlefield!
[14:43] nobu
    So...
[14:44] nobu
    he told you to die on the battlefield.
[14:47] kane
    Yes.
[14:48] kane
    Those words from Lord Kenshin
     lived on among the Uesugi clan,
[14:52] kane
    even while we were in Sado.
[15:09] kane
    Fujita-dono... What is it?
[15:16] fuji
    It seems that the Honma clan
[15:19] fuji
    are fussing about the fact that Takatsuna
     called you Kenshin back there.
[15:24] kane
    What of it?
[15:29] fuji
    Before I came to serve the Uesugi clan,
[15:32] fuji
    there were suspicions,
    among the Takeda clan...
[15:35] fuji
    that you may be
    the orphan of Lord Kenshin.
[15:39] kane
    Such suspicions...
[15:43] fuji
    Do not underestimate
    the shinobi of the Takeda clan.
[15:47] kane
    Then, did you come to strike me down?
[15:49] fuji
    If... it is true.
[15:54] fuji
    If Echigo is a two-headed dragon,
[15:57] fuji
    then it will eventually tear itself apart!
[16:02] nobu
    As expected...
[16:04] nobu
    you were a danger
     for the Uesugi clan...
[16:08] kane
    Yes. But Fujita-dono's words
    couldn't be helped.
[16:13] keiji
    Indeed. In the end, he was
    just speaking for Echigo,
[16:17] keiji
    and feared that the province
     would be split in two.
[16:20] kane
    Two years later, in June of 1578,
     after Lord Kenshin died,
[16:26] kane
    his adopted son from the
     Hojo clan, Uesugi Kagetora,
[16:30] kane
    and his adopted son from the
    Ueda Nagao clan, Uesugi Kagekatsu-sama,
[16:34] kane
    fought for command.
SIGN    Otate Castle
SIGN    Kasaugayama Castle
[16:37] keiji
    Because of that, the Uesugi clan
    was split in two and fought...
[16:43] keiji
    Otherwise known as the Siege of Otate.
[16:53] keiji
    In the end, Kagekatsu-dono had won,
[16:56] keiji
    but it took three whole years
    for the siege to completely end.
[17:02] kane
    Because of that, they could not let
     the same thing repeat itself ever again...
[17:08] kane
    And that's where Keiji-dono's
    cleverness came in.
[17:23] kane
    Milord.
[17:33] keiji
    I've invited Kagekatsu-dono.
[17:39] nobu
    And?
[17:40] kane
    When he was young,
[17:42] kane
    Kagekatsu-sama was told about
    my background by Sentouin-sama.
[17:48] kane
    And...
[17:51] kage
    Omijou-sama's child, Higuchi Yoroku,
    and I will form a bond to protect Echigo!
[17:59] nobu
    A bond?
[18:00] kane
    Yes... Because of that...
[18:04] kage
    I've heard the situation.
[18:12] kage
    You'll just have to find out if Kanetsugu is,
    or is not, the child of Lord Kenshin
[18:18] kage
    by asking him yourself in the afterlife!
[18:23] kage
    The only one who knows
    that answer is Lord Kenshin himself!
[18:36] kage
    But then...
[18:37] kage
    Lord Kenshin will be angry.
[18:40] fuji
    What?
[18:41] kage
    If you are a man of war,
    die on the battlefield.
[18:48] ken
    Yoroku!
[18:49] ken
    If you are a samurai, do not cut open
    your belly without fighting.
[18:53] ken
    If you are a man of war,
    die on the battlefield.
[19:05] fuji
    That is, indeed, Uesugi's righteousness.
[19:10] nobu
    I see...
[19:13] nobu
    Die on the battlefield, huh?
[19:17] nobu
    But there is still something
     that I don't understand.
[19:19] kane
    What might that be?
[19:21] nobu
    That folding fan.
[19:23] nobu
    You took that fan with you
     and met with Kenshin.
[19:26] nobu
    So why did my plan not work?
[19:30] kane
    Because on that night...
[19:34] ken
    Behold, Yoroku, that moon...
[19:38] ken
    At first glance, it looks beautiful,
[19:40] ken
    but if the night sky only had
    the moon alone, it would be dull.
[19:43] ken
    It is because of the clouds the moon
    shines upon that gives it its elegance.
[19:48] kane
    But...
[19:50] kane
    If the clouds get in the way
     of the moonlight,
[19:53] kane
    there is only darkness.
[19:55] kane
    No elegance or anything else.
[20:11] kane
    Omijou-sama, do you remember
     this folding fan?
[20:16] ken
    There is no way I can forget it.
[20:19] ken
    That folding fan belonged
     to Princess Tae...
[20:22] ken
    And...
[20:23] kane
    And?
[20:27] ken
    It is the fan of the woman I loved the most.
[20:33] kane
    Omijou-sama...
[20:39] nobu
    What? So Kenshin actually laughed...
[20:43] kane
    Indeed. It was very innocent laughter,
[20:46] kane
    that felt like he had gotten
    something off of his chest.
[20:50] nobu
    I see. I guess that would
    make it rather hard to die.
[21:03] nobu
    Good heavens! Good heavens!
[21:11] nobu
    I am now satisfied.
[21:26] keiji
    So he left.
[21:28] kane
    For crying out loud... How selfish.
[21:33] kane
    But...
[21:34] kane
    You really saved me back then.
[21:37] keiji
    But I had seen the truth concerning you,
[21:41] keiji
    so there was no point
    in going to the afterlife.
[21:45] keiji
    Without a doubt, at that moment,
[22:03] keiji
    Bishamonten was standing
    upon your back.

    Yes, sir.
[00:33] toshi
    S-So... um... uh...
[00:38] hide
    What? I said, Keiji...
[00:41] hide
    I want to meet with Maeda Keiji.
[00:44] hide
    I heard he did an excellent
     job fighting in Sado.
[00:49] hide
    Then I'll just have to hear
    his tales of battle.
[00:53] toshi
    Please wait. He's quite the eccentric...
[00:56] hide
    Yes, exactly.
    I'd like to see that eccentricity.
[01:01] hide
    That's exactly what I want to see.
[01:07] toshi
    No, no, no. Who knows what

[01:11] toshi
    W-W-W-With a man like that...
[01:13] toshi
    Not to mention, he has
     absconded from the Maeda clan.
[01:17] hide
    That's why I won't ask you.
[01:22] toshi
    Huh?
[01:23] hide
    Uesugi Kagekatsu will be
     just fine as the middleman.
[01:29] toshi
    Th-Thank goodness...
[01:36] toshi
    What a wonderful idea.
[01:56] nar
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[02:00] nar
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[02:04] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[02:08] nar
    I repeat.
[02:10] nar
    "Gi" truly means
    "For one to live beautifully."
[02:21] nar
    Two eccentrics enter battle.

SIGN    The Wind of the Men of War
[03:56] keiji
    For crying out loud...
[03:58] keiji
    I was pretty fed up with the tenacity
    of the Chief Advisor Hideyoshi at the time.
[04:05] keiji
    To think he tried to use me
     to conquer Echigo
[04:08] keiji
    because he couldn't get his hands
     on Uesugi by himself.
[04:12] kane
    Right after the conquering of Sado,
[04:14] kane
    I had finally been able
     to relax for a while.
[04:17] kane
    It was pretty frustrating.
[04:22] kane
    That was, indeed, a life-or-death
    situation for the Uesugi.
[04:27] keiji
    However, the one who lent a helping
     hand throughout that dilemma was...
[04:35] kane
    Ishida Mitsunari!
[04:41] kane
    After that, he would become my brother,
[04:44] kane
    He was a man who lived
    in loyalty and devotion.
[05:05] mosuke
    Sir... Where are we going
     in these mountains?
[05:11] kane
    Because we have been gone
    for a while due to the dealings in Sado,
[05:15] kane
    I want to see, with my own eyes,
    how the land and people are doing
[05:20] kane
    and if anything has changed.
[05:22] mosuke
    Huh?
[05:24] mosuke
    There's no way something would
     change in mountains like this.
[05:27] kane
    Stop complaining.
[05:29] kane
    We still have to look around
    three other mountains.
[05:36] mosuke
    Ow... Why did you stop
     all of a sudden?
[05:46] mosuke
    Wow...
[05:56] mosuke
    In mountains like these...
[05:59] mosuke
    that's rather different.
[06:06] mosuke
    What the heck?
[06:07] mosuke
    Is this a tea room?
[06:18] mosuke
    Eh, he seems to be calling us, sir.
[06:22] person
    This must also be some kind of fate.
[06:24] person
    I shall serve you some tea.
[06:26] mosuke
    Huh? Tea? Why in a place like this...
[06:30] kane
    Why not?
[06:33] kane
    I will accept your offer.
[06:35] mosuke
    Huh?
[06:47] mosuke
    It's hot! Jeez...
[06:50] mosuke
    we've been walking around the mountains,
    so water would have been fine.
[06:55] kane
    You're... not a monk.
[06:59] guy
    Oh?
[07:01] kane
    The cut of that bamboo
    is the work of a skilled swordsman.
[07:06] kane
    A skill not needed for a monk.
[07:09] guy
    A good observation.
[07:12] guy
    However, to take the tea kettle
     and put your sword down
[07:16] guy
    was rather careless of you.
[07:22] kane
    What?
[07:23] kane
    He was able to get
    this much air while still sitting?
[07:26] guy
    The art of Fusegi.
[07:28] guy
    This is one of the ninja arts we,
     the shinobi of Tanba, possess.
[07:55] guy
    You've become old, Jirobo.
[08:00] kane
    You know each other?
[08:02] jiro
    There's no shinobi who doesn't know him.
SIGN    Ayatachi Michimune
[08:06] jiro
    Ayatachi Michimune...
[08:08] jiro
    leader of the mountain people
[08:10] jiro
    and head of the Tanba ninja clan.
[08:13] mosuke
    What?!
[08:15] jiro
    And he is a ninja employed
    by the Chief Advisor Hideyoshi.
[08:21] michi
    You've said enough.
[08:35] nar
    At that moment, Michimune was shocked.
[08:39] nar
    He had made a careless mistake.
[08:42] nar
    He thought Kanetsugu was unarmed,
    but he had a steel fan behind his back.
[08:49] nar
    But the two were at a critical distance.
[08:52] nar
    Therefore...
[08:55] nar
    Running...
[08:59] nar
    or attacking...
[09:04] nar
    Only death awaited them either way.
[09:27] michi
    At this rate, I'd have no face
    to show Mitsunari-dono.
[09:32] kane
    Ishida Mitsunari-dono?
[09:34] michi
    Yes...
[09:36] michi
    He asked me to give you this today.
[10:12] kane
    His Highness wants Keiji-dono and I
[10:14] kane
    to personally give him a report
    on the battle of Sado?
[10:18] michi
    Indeed. It's just as the letter
    from Ishida Mitsunari-dono says.
[10:24] kane
    And he says that he'd like
    to see Keiji-dono's eccentricity.
[10:32] kane
    Keiji-dono's eccentricity
[10:35] kane
    is neither an exhibition nor an act.
[10:37] kane
    It's how he lives his life.
[10:41] kane
    And asking him just to display it...
[10:44] michi
    But he cannot decline,
[10:46] michi
    as a request from the man who rules
     the country is the same as an order.
[10:56] nar
    The two of them were well aware,
[10:59] nar
    that Keiji would never agree to this.
[11:01] nar
    Not only that,
[11:04] nar
    Keiji would, without a doubt,
    choose to defy and disobey Hideyoshi.
[11:08] nar
    That was the kind of eccentric he was.
[11:14] kane
    That would mean killing Keiji-dono.
[11:19] michi
    That is why Mitsunari-dono
    gave you that letter.
[11:26] michi
    That official report will soon be taken to
    Uesugi Kagekatsu-dono by a messenger.
[11:33] kane
    To my lord?
[11:35] michi
    Meaning that it would end up being
     an official order to the Uesugi.
[11:40] michi
    Meaning this is the only time you'll be
    able to take care of this quietly.
[11:46] nar
    Kanetsugu realized
    the truth behind the letter.
[11:50] nar
    Mitsunari had given them fair warning,
[11:54] nar
    that Keiji could be
    life-threatening to the Uesugi.
[12:16] kage
    Chief Advisor Hideyoshi!
[12:20] kage
    He's still trying to get his hands on Echigo?
[12:23] kane
    It appears that Hideyoshi-dono
     still holds a grudge.
[12:29] kage
    You mean from...
[12:32] kane
    Yes, sir.
[12:34] kane
    That was when the Uesugi and Hashiba
     were still enemies of enemies.
[12:41] keiji
    You and Kagekatsu-dono
[12:44] keiji
    went to Ochirimizu Castle
    and met with Hideyoshi
[12:48] keiji
    to try to strike a deal
    to take care of Sassa Narimasa.
[12:57] kane
    It was then...
[12:59] kane
    That Hideyoshi had thought to make me
     an immediate follower of him,
[13:03] kane
    and announced that fact.
[13:06] hide
    I would like to have Naoe Kanetsugu.
[13:12] keiji
    At the time, Hideyoshi had
    100,000 soldiers at his back.
[13:17] kane
    One little mistake could have made
    those soldiers head straight to Echigo.
[13:24] keiji
    And yet, Uesugi...
[13:34] hide
    Kagekatsu-dono, you refuse,
    even though I ask this much?
[13:41] hide
    Then the only thing that awaits Echigo—
[13:49] kane
    What to do...
[13:52] hide
    What do you mean?
[13:54] kane
    I love my lord.
[13:57] hide
    So?
[13:59] kane
    Because of that, I made a promise to him
[14:01] kane
    that we would become a bond for Echigo.
[14:11] hide
    And?!
[14:25] hide
    Is he saying that if I want to kill him,
    that I should just do so?
[14:31] hide
    Why?
[14:33] kane
    I cannot break my promise.
[14:36] kane
    That is what my love means.
[14:39] hide
    Kanetsugu...
[14:51] kage
    I cannot break that promise either.
[15:06] hide
    Why you...
[15:12] kage
    Does he still hold a grudge from that time?
[15:16] kane
    Hideyoshi was also a man of battle.
[15:18] kane
    He knew what would happen
[15:21] kane
    if he struck down two defenseless men.
[15:24] kage
    That would mean Echigo's soldiers
     all died for the sake of righteousness.
[15:24] sign
    Righteousness
[15:29] kane
    And soldiers who know
    they're dead men are strong.
[15:32] kane
    Even if their enemies were 100,000,
    their enemy would have suffered.
[15:37] kage
    So that means...
[15:40] kane
    Of course, we only have one choice...
[15:56] person
    I see...
SIGN    Sen no Rikyu
[16:02] person
    So if Keiji-han were to do something,
[16:05] person
    Uesugi-han would have
     been held responsible
[16:08] person
    because he's the middleman.
[16:13] mitsu
    It appears Milord is still after Echigo.
[16:17] person
    Be careful.
[16:19] person
    People tend to show their
     true nature once they're cornered.
[16:24] mitsu
    True nature?
[16:26] person
    Have you forgotten about
     Naoe Kanetsugu?
[16:30] mitsu
    Naoe-dono?
[16:33] person
    It is a secret among secrets
    that only a few of us know.
[16:43] person
    He is the son of Uesugi Kenshin,
    that is his true nature.
[16:50] person
    He's a much bigger villain to deal with
[16:53] person
    than some silly eccentric.
[17:10] kane
    Despite how secret it was,
[17:14] kane
    there were a few others
     who knew of my secret.
[17:18] keiji
    And among those few
    were Mitsunari and Rikyu.
[17:23] kane
    Rikyu-dono had met with
    Kenshin-dono before,
[17:27] kane
    and while in audience with Mitsunari-dono,
    he compared me to a tree peony,
[17:32] kane
    a flower from the crest of my mother's family, after seeing the family resemblance.
[17:45] kane
    He saw the shadow
    of Lord Kenshin upon me.
[17:50] keji
    In addition, he'd also seen
    what actions I would take.
[18:21] keiji
    What's this?

    The letter from Ishida Mitsunari-dono.
[18:35] keiji
    How troublesome for the Uesugi.
[18:38] kane
    I will be heading to Kyoto.
[18:42] keiji
    By yourself?
[18:44] kane
    Yes...
[18:58] keiji
    That means nothing I can say
    will change your mind.
[19:19] keiji
    Let us fight.
[19:29] nar
    Kanetsugu knew...
[19:32] nar
    Keiji was saying...
[19:35] nar
    that this would all be easily settled
     if he just took his head.
[19:40] nar
    And Kanetsugu...
[19:43] nar
    understood that Keiji was more
    than willing to be struck down.
[19:51] kane
    No.
[19:53] keiji
    To protect their country, friends...
[19:56] keiji
    no, even family, will
     draw swords on each other.
[20:01] keiji
    That is what a samurai does.
[20:06] kane
    I cannot.
[20:21] keiji
    Why?
[20:23] keiji
    Isn't that why you showed me the letter?
[20:27] kane
    No...
[20:31] kane
    I have come to invite you to a battle.
[20:34] keiji
    A battle?
[20:36] kane
    Our enemy is Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
[20:39] Keiji
    Wha...
[20:40] kane
    Facing Hideyoshi at Jurakudai
    would be a good opportunity.
[20:44] kane
    As long as we can prepare
     for our possible deaths,
[20:47] kane
    he is not an unbeatable enemy.
[20:51] kane
    However, then the world will,
    once again, become a world of war.
[20:56] kane
    Even if I am gone,
[20:58] kane
    Echigo will gradually prepare for war.
[21:03] keiji
    You are so...
[21:09] nar
    It was then that the cool wind
    of men of war passed through.
[21:15] nar
    It was a very proud
    wind of righteousness
[21:20] nar
    that was trying to forget
     the peaceful world.
[21:30] keiji
    That's right.
[21:31] keiji
    That is, indeed, true justice
    in the world of the warring states.
[21:38] keiji
    I accept this battle.
[21:42] kane
    It will be a losing one.
[21:47] keiji
    That's what makes it great.
[21:50] kane
    You are quite a person.
[21:53] keiji
    Look who's talking.

[00:25] keiji
    For crying out loud...
[00:27] keiji
    At that moment, I was
    shocked and speechless,
[00:31] keiji
    at what kind of man you were.
[00:34] kane
    And I felt rather bad that I had
    invited you to a hopeless, losing battle.
[00:40] keiji
    I didn't mind.
[00:41] keiji
    We are both men of war.
[00:43] keiji
    There was nothing to fear,
    even if it was just the two of us.
[00:47] kane
    Actually, there was one
    other at that time...
[00:53] keiji
    Oh? And by that, you mean...
[00:57] kane
    My spear-bearer, Mosuke.
[01:03] kane
    For our audience with the Chief Advisor,
[01:06] kane
    you and I had left,
    via separate routes, to get to Kyoto.
[01:11] kane
    I thought it would be my first trip
    alone in quite a while, but...
[01:24] kane
    Mosuke!
[01:25] mosuke
    I finally... caught up with you!
[01:28] mosuke
    How dare you leave me behind?!
[01:31] kane
    You...
[01:33] kane
    Why did you follow me?
[01:34] mosuke
    "Why"?!
[01:36] kane
    I told you.
[01:37] kane
    This would be a losing battle.
[01:39] kane
    There's no need for you
    to come die with me.
[01:42] mosuke
    What are you talking about, Milord?
[01:44] mosuke
    Did you forget what you had said
    to me back then on this very land?
[01:50] kane
    Me?
[01:53] mosuke
    Yeah.
[01:54] mosuke
    This is my spear.
[01:56] mosuke
    That this is the spear that I bear.
[02:01] kane
    I see...
[02:03] kane
    This is Azuchi's land.

[04:04] Nar
    January, 1576.
[04:06] Nar
    Oda Nobunaga announced
    the construction of Azuchi Castle,
[04:11] nar
    took the initiative to live on this land,
[04:14] nar
    and oversaw the construction
    of the castle himself.
[04:18] nar
    Because of that,
    at the base of Mt. Azuchi,
[04:22] nar
    there were tens of thousands
    of laborers who were lined up in shacks.
[04:29] nar
    The merchants who went there for that reason,
    enjoyed themselves with prostitutes.
[04:35] nar
    However...
[04:39] guy
    Do you want to die?!
[04:42] guy
    Hurry up and give me that woman!
[04:45] mosuke
    P-Please! Anyone but her!
[04:50] guy
    Why you...
[04:52] guy 2
    Now, now. No need for violence.
[04:57] guy
    Boss.
[05:00] boss
    We can talk this out.
[05:04] boss
    Just gotta say it, so he understands.
[05:07] boss
    We found that girl on the battlefields
    of Shinano, and she is my slave.
[05:13] boss
    It's only right that you return
    her to her rightful owner.
[05:17] mosuke
    B-But I had bought her from
    a merchant for five kan!
[05:21] boss
    And?
[05:23] boss
    That merchant stole her
    from me and sold her.
[05:28] boss
    If you have a problem, discuss it
    with that thief of a merchant.
[05:31] mosuke
    Please don't!
[05:34] mosuke
    She's not a slave anymore!
[05:36] mosuke
    She's my wife!
[05:38] mosuke
    She even has a baby in her belly!
[05:40] boss
    Oh... a baby, you say?
[05:43] boss
    Well, how about this...
    in terms you understand.
[05:46] boss
    I'll let you keep them
    both for ten kan.
[05:51] mosuke
    Ten kan?!
[05:53] mosuke
    I-I don't have that kind of money!
[05:55] boss
    Then the talk ends here.
[05:57] boss
    Take or be taken is
    the law of the warring era.
[06:01] boss
    I'll just have to take back
    what's mine by force.
[06:06] boss
    This should be easy to understand.
[06:15] yoroku
    Well, I'd say there's
    a problem with that logic.
[06:20] yoroku
    I don't believe that's how things
     are done in Azuchi.
[06:24] boss
    Who the hell are you, monk?
[06:26] yoroku
    The righteousness
    of the price of commodity:
[06:28] yoroku
    Even if something is stolen,
[06:31] yoroku
    if the owner doesn't know that,
    they will not be punished.
[06:35] yoroku
    I thought that was the rule
    in the city of Azuchi.
[06:38] boss
    Huh?
[06:39] boss
    What the hell are you talking about?
[06:42] yoroku
    Meaning, if a person
    bought something that he
[06:45] yoroku
    didn't know was stolen,
    they are not at fault.
[06:47] yoroku
    Even though it was stolen, the one
    from whom it was stolen can't complain.
[06:52] yoroku
    Didn't you see that written
    on the official bulletin board?
[06:55] guy
    You idiot!
[06:56] guy
    Our boss can't read
    something that difficult!
[07:03] boss
    Oh, is that so?
[07:05] boss
    A rule like that was written
    on the bulletin board, eh?
[07:08] boss
    But sadly, my eyes are pretty bad,
    so I didn't see anything like that.
[07:15] yoroku
    Then are those eyes
    of yours just for show?
[07:18] boss
    Yep, they're just for show.
[07:20] boss
    How about I give them to ya?
[07:24] yoroku
    Sniff, sniff, sniff.
[07:26] yoroku
    Sniff, sniff, sniff...
[07:28] yoroku
    sniff.
[07:30] yoroku
    Hey.
[07:32] yoroku
    You sure those eyes aren't rotten?
[07:34] yoroku
    They smell so bad that
    they're like rotten fish!
[07:37] boss
    My eyes... are rotten fish?
[07:40] yoroku
    Yeah, even cats would step
    over that stench.
[07:46] boss
    You dare mock me, monk?!
[07:55] boss
    Ow!
[08:00] boss
    Huh?
[08:01] boss
    Huh? What?
[08:02] boss
    My eye...
[08:04] boss
    Hey, is it attached?
[08:06] boss
    My eye.
[08:07] boss
    Is it attached?
[08:09] guy
    Uh, no... It's not
    attached, right?
[08:12] guy
    Y-Yeah...
[08:22] mosuke
    Still want to go at it?
[08:34] yoroku
    Ha!
[08:35] yoroku
    A cat really did step over it!
[08:43] yoroku
    Hey, is your baby safe?
[08:46] mosuke
    Y-Yes!
[08:47] mosuke
    Th-Thank you very much!
[08:50] wifey
    Thank you very much...
[08:56] keiji
    So that was how you
    met the spear-bearer.
[09:00] kane
    Yes.
[09:02] kane
    That was the time
    when I went to Azuchi
[09:05] kane
    because I wanted
    to meet Lord Nobunaga.
[09:09] kane
    I'd come to know Mosuke
    since that meeting,
[09:15] kane
    so I asked him to cross
    the River Styx with me.
[09:24] kane
    However...
[09:27] kane
    After I had safely gotten back
    from my meeting with Lord Nobunaga,
[09:31] kane
    and we were celebrating...
[09:49] kane
    I could tell... that he was
    willing to go to war.
[09:59] kane
    I had learned that while Mosuke was
    away from his house, his wife was killed.
[10:06] kane
    The one behind that was
    the one whose eyeball I had taken....
[10:09] kane
    the leader of the bandits...
[10:12] kane
    Gonza, the Ogre-slayer.
[10:26] mosuke
    Ofuji...
[10:30] mosuke
    I'll follow you. I'll be there soon.
[10:39] mosuke
    You and my child are over there...
[10:44] mosuke
    I have nothing left in this world.
[10:47] mosuke
    This world is just lonely.
[10:57] yoroku
    You're planning on dying by yourself?
[11:00] yoroku
    Don't be such a loner.
[11:03] mosuke
    Milord...
[11:06] yoroku
    I heard everything.
[11:08] yoroku
    I'm responsible for this, as well.
[11:11] mosuke
    But we're dealing with...
[11:13] yoroku
    I know... We'll be
    dealing with at least a hundred.
[11:18] yoroku
    If it was just you,
    it would be one versus a hundred.
[11:22] yoroku
    Therefore...
[11:24] yoroku
    This is not just revenge,
    but a proper war!
[11:29] yoroku
    I, Higuchi Yoroku,
    will have your back!
[12:00] mosuke
    There really are a hundred...
[12:03] mosuke
    And they even have guns.
[12:06] mosuke
    It doesn't matter!
[12:07] mosuke
    I don't care how many there are!
[12:08] mosuke
    I'm going to die anyway.
[12:10] yoroku
    That is a proper resolve.
[12:12] yoroku
    Then you will not lose in this war.
[12:19] mosuke
    What's that?
[12:21] yoroku
    These are bombs.
[12:23] yoroku
    They'll be useful in this war.
[12:27] mosuke
    Bombs?
[12:31] boss
    What?!
[12:33] boss
    That wandering monk who took
    my eyeball is a retainer of the Uesugi?
[12:39] guy
    He is.
[12:40] guy
    What shall we do?
[12:42] guy
    I'm already prepared
    to take him out.
[12:45] ---
    
[12:48] boss
    I don't care whose retainer he is.
[12:52] boss
    There's no way I'll let him live—
[12:54] yoroku
    You're right. There's no way I'll let you live.
[12:58] boss
    Eh?
[12:59] boss
    Huh? Chi—
[13:25] boss
    What... is...
[13:43] boss
    Y-Y-You're...
[13:47] mosuke
    This is for my wife and child!
[13:49] mosuke
    Repay them with your life!
[13:57] yoroku
    I, Higuchi Yoroku, the retainer
    of Uesugi Kenshin, shall aide you!
[14:02] boss
    Wh-What are you babbling about?!
[14:05] boss
    You little brat!
[14:24] yoroku
    Mosuke!
[14:26] yoroku
    This is for your revenge!
[14:27] yoroku
    Take Gonza's head!
[14:29] mosuke
    Right!
[14:31] mosuke
    Gonza!
[14:36] mosuke
    Huh?!
[14:38] boss
    Don't underestimate me...
[14:40] boss
    I won't let my head
    be taken by the likes of you!
[14:44] guy
    Damn it...
[14:49] yoroku
    Well, this isn't good.
[14:50] mosuke
    M-Milord!
[14:52] boss
    Bombs, eh?
[14:54] boss
    That'll definitely make
    some noise and startle people,
[14:57] boss
    but you won't be able
    to kill too many with it.
[15:01] yoroku
    Then... we're fleeing, Mosuke.
[15:05] mosuke
    Huh?!
[15:05] mosuke
    F-Fleeing?!
[15:10] yoroku
    Ha!

    Don't you screw with me!

    I won't let you leave alive!
[15:32] boss
    Catch them and kill them!
[15:56] mosuke
    M-Milord!
[15:58] mosuke
    Leave me and run!
[16:00] mosuke
    They'll catch up to us
    if I'm with you.
[16:03] yoroku
    That's exactly what I want.
[16:05] mosuke
    Huh?
[16:19] mosuke
    M-Milord... what are you doing?
[16:33] guy
    They have more bombs!
[16:38] guy
    Why are you stopping?!

    Keep moving!

    You idiot!
[16:42] guy
    Turn back!

    I see!
[16:51] mosuke
    The enemy's stuck on the long,
    narrow bridge and has nowhere to go.
[16:54] mosuke
    So you purposely brought them here?
[16:57] yoroku
    A war without intelligence
    cannot be won.
[17:00] yoroku
    That is from the teachings
    of Omijou-sama.

    Let us start this war!

    Curse you, Higuchi Yoroku...
[17:59] yoroku
    Gonza, the Ogre-slayer,
    we shall be taking your head.
[18:03] boss
    Uh... That's really long...
[18:38] yoroku
    Those who want
    to face me, come forward!
[18:50] keiji
    To face a hundred bandits
    with just the two of you...
[18:53] keiji
    Nothing less from Kanetsugu-dono.
[18:54] kane
    That was rather reckless,
    if I do say so myself.
[18:58] kane
    I'm embarrassed now
    that I look back on it.
[19:01] keiji
    But how does that revenge and what
    the spear-bearer said connect?
[19:06] kane
    Right... That happened on the day
    I was going to leave Azuchi.

    Ofuji... I miss you.

    I miss you so much...

    I can't live.
[19:34] yoroku
    To use your own grave
    as a stepping stone to hang yourself...
[19:37] yoroku
    what an accursed thing to do.
[19:41] mosuke
    M-Milord?!
[19:43] yoroku
    What in the world are you doing?
SIGN    Hana
[19:52] yoroku
    I see... So the child who was
    to be born was a daughter.
[19:58] nar
    Mosuke had seen his wife with
    her belly sliced open...
[20:04] nar
    That is how he possibly knew
    the baby was to be a daughter.
[20:11] mosuke
    She was supposed to be born
    right around the time
[20:15] mosuke
    the cherry blossoms start to bloom.
[20:17] mosuke
    That's why we named her Hana.
[20:29] yoroku
    How about it, Mosuke?
[20:31] yoroku
    If you're going to hang yourself
    beneath a cherry tree, do it in the spring!
[20:34] mosuke
    Huh?
[20:36] yoroku
    When a thousand,
    tens of thousands of blossoms
[20:40] yoroku
    create a storm of petals
    to accompany you...
[20:44] yoroku
    Even hanging yourself would
    look rather extravagant.
[20:52] mosuke
    Ow...
[20:54] yoroku
    Hey.
[20:55] mosuke
    M-Milord?
[20:58] yoroku
    I don't have anyone to hold this spear.
[21:01] yoroku
    To Echigo...
[21:02] yoroku
    No. Until your death...
[21:05] yoroku
    Will you bear this spear for me?

    M-Milord...
[21:18] mosuke
    Milord!
[21:23] keiji
    I see...
[21:25] keiji
    So that's how he became your spear-bearer.
[21:28] kane
    Yes.
[21:31] kane
    And I shall never forget...
[21:34] kane
    The gleam in his eyes...
[21:39] kane
    truly belonged to a man of war.
[21:47] kane
    You're right.
[21:48] kane
    That is, indeed, your spear.
[21:53] kane
    Then will you bear that spear...
[21:56] kane
    until your death?
[22:00] mosuke
    Yes, sir!
[22:03] kane
    Now, let us hurry...

[00:04] keiji
    For crying out loud...
[00:06] keiji
    I was pretty fed up with the tenacity
    of the Chief Advisor Hideyoshi at the time.
[00:12] keiji
    To think he tried to use me
    to conquer Echigo
[00:15] keiji
    because he couldn't get his hands
    on Uesugi by himself.
[00:19] kane
    Indeed.

    to see your eccentricity.
[00:27] hide
    What?
[00:28] hide
    I said, Keiji...
[00:30] hide
    I want to meet with Maeda Keiji.
[00:36] kane
    The Chief Advisor knew...
[00:39] kane
    the fact that you wouldn't
    accept such a request.
[00:43] kane
    Actually, Hideyoshi knew
    that you would disobey him.
[00:50] keiji
    That is, indeed,
    what an eccentric would do.
[00:53] kane
    Keiji-dono's eccentricity
[00:55] kane
    is neither an exhibition nor an act.
[00:57] kane
    It's how he lives his life.
[00:59] kane
    And asking him just to display it...
[01:03] keiji
    But then again, a request from the man
    who rules the country is the same as an order.
[01:07] keiji
    Not to mention, if something were
    to happen during that meeting,
[01:10] keiji
    the Uesugi would shoulder the blame,
    because of who the mediator is.
[01:13] kane
    And if that were to happen,
    Echigo would be blown away.
[01:17] keiji
    This was, indeed, life or death.
[01:20] keiji
    But this would have all been settled
[01:23] keiji
    rather quickly if we had just
    presented him with my head.
[01:26] keiji
    And yet you...
[01:31] kane
    No...
[01:34] kane
    I have come to invite
    you to a battle.
[01:37] keiji
    A battle?
[01:38] kane
    Our enemy is Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
[01:42] keiji
    Wha...
[01:43] kane
    Facing Hideyoshi at Jurakudai
    would be a good opportunity.
[01:47] kane
    As long as we can prepare
    for our possible deaths,
[01:50] kane
    he is not an unbeatable enemy.
[01:54] kane
    However, then the world will,
    once again, become a world of war.
[01:59] kane
    Even if I am gone,
[02:01] kane
    Echigo will gradually prepare for war.
[02:06] keiji
    You are so...
[02:14] keiji
    The wind that had passed through just then...
[02:17] keiji
    was a very proud wind of righteousness
[02:23] keiji
    that was being forgotten
    in the peaceful world.
[02:29] keiji
    I accept this battle.
[02:33] kane
    It will be a losing one.
[02:38] keiji
    That's what makes it great.
[02:41] kane
    You are quite a person.
[02:44] keiji
    Look who's talking.
[03:06] nar
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[03:10] nar
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[03:13] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[03:18] nar
    I repeat.
[03:20] nar
    "Gi" truly means
    "For one to live beautifully."
[03:31] nar

[05:19] hide
    I heard that those men
    will be arriving in Kyoto soon.
[05:25] toshi
    By that, you mean...
[05:27] hide
    Mataza-dono, you should attend, as well.
[05:31] toshi
    Huh? Wha... Huh?
[05:37] hide
    You will meet with Maeda Keiji.
[05:49] toshi
    No, no, no...
[05:51] toshi
    That is unnecessary...
[05:53] hide
    Mataza-dono!
[05:55] hide
    But he is your nephew.
[05:58] hide
    That's rather distant of you.
[06:03] hide
    I have invited Tokugawa-dono, as well.
[06:07] toshi
    T-T-T-T-Tokugawa, too?!
[06:13] hide
    Why don't we all enjoy
    observing the eccentric.
[06:30] mitsu
    Why?
[06:32] mitsu
    Why did he accept the orders
    from his Highness so easily?
[06:36] mitsu
    That's the same as you purposely
    falling into his trap, Naoe Kanetsugu!
[06:43] toshi
    No doubt.
[06:45] toshi
    Curse the Uesugi!
[06:47] toshi
    How dare they do
    something so meddlesome?
[06:49] toshi
    There's no way that
    Keiji would stay still
[06:51] toshi
    and behave himself
    in front of his Highness.
[06:54] toshi
    Knowing him... if he were to... if...
[07:10] toshi
    There's no way that I'll be safe!
[07:14] toshi
    This just means that I...
[07:15] toshi
    Hey!
[07:16] guy
    Sir.
[07:18] toshi
    Keiji and Kanetsugu are heading
    here separately, right?
[07:21] ninja
    Keiji-dono has already arrived in Kyoto,
    but we are not sure where he went.
[07:26] toshi
    Then just Kanetsugu will be fine.
[07:29] toshi
    Oh, it's not like I'm going to have him killed...
[07:32] toshi
    But if he were to have some accident
    where he hurt himself bad enough
[07:36] toshi
    that the mediator will disappear,
    then the meeting would be called off.
[07:39] toshi
    You got it?
[07:41] ninja
    Yes, sir!
[08:00] kane
    Well, well... a bullfight in Kyoto.
[08:03] mosuke
    My word...
[08:05] mosuke
    They're so big they look like they're hills!
[08:17] kane
    What a marvelous display of strength!
[08:20] mosuke
    Go!
[08:20] jiro
    Mosuke.
[08:22] mosuke
    What is it, Jirobo?
[08:24] mosuke
    And where did you come from?
[08:25] jiro
    Get ready for battle.
[08:26] jiro
    We're already surrounded.
[08:29] mosuke
    Huh?
[08:34] person
    Wh-What's going on?!
[08:36] person
    It went crazy all of a sudden!
[08:37] person
    Look out! Run!
[08:41] kane
    Oh?
[08:42] mosuke
    We're surrounded?!
[08:48] jiro

    The bull means no harm.
[08:51] kane
    Mosuke!
[08:52] kane

[08:53] mosuke
    Oh, uh...

    Up we go!
[09:10] person
    Y-You're running?!
[09:26] person
    What?!
[09:36] kane
    How awful...
[09:45] kane
    The sword of a samurai
    is the same as your horns.
[09:50] kane
    Because you were born with horns,
    it means that you were born to fight.
[09:57] kane
    It is only natural for a samurai
    to be angry if his battle was tainted.
[10:03] kane
    Therefore, I accept this battle!
[10:16] toshi
    B-But...
[10:19] toshi
    So, apparently, he was a monster, as well.
[10:23] ninja
    I'm terribly sorry.
[10:26] toshi
    I'm...
[10:29] toshi
    I'm doomed...
[10:35] ie
    Very good.
[10:41] ie
    Right there. Right there.
[10:52] ie
    From my understanding,
[10:55] ie
    it appears that Toshiie-dono
    couldn't take it anymore.
[11:00] honda
    That seems to be the case.
[11:02] honda
    But observing eccentrics
    is rather eccentric itself.
[11:06] ie
    But because of that, we're able to see
[11:11] ie
    the man behind all
    the rumors, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[11:18] ie
    I wonder what kind of man he really is...
[11:22] ie
    I'm excited to meet him.
[11:45] usu
    What's the matter?
[11:48] usu
    You haven't been to Kyoto in a while,
    but your face is so glum.

    Stop that.
[11:59] usu
    Nope, I won't.
[12:02] usu
    Poke, poke.
[12:04] usu
    But, seriously, what's the matter?
[12:18] keiji
    Even though it's for my friend,
    I'm going to have to bow before someone.
[12:29] keiji
    I just can't seem to do it...
[12:42] keiji
    Kanetsugu-dono!
[12:44] usu
    Well, you came here at just the right time.
[12:48] usu
    There's something wrong with Keiji-han.
[12:54] keiji
    So, Kanetsugu-dono...
[12:56] keiji
    Did anything strange
    happen on your way here?
[13:01] kane
    Well...
[13:07] keiji
    So, something like that
    happened in Kamogawa...
[13:10] kane
    Yes...
[13:11] keiji
    I'm going to presume
    that my uncle was behind it.
[13:14] keiji
    I apologize.
[13:15] kane
    No, not at all.
[13:17] kane
    I'm glad we both got here safely.
[13:19] keiji
    Indeed.
[13:21] kane
    Keiji-dono.
[13:24] kane
    Could you play your biwa for me again?
[13:26] keiji
    Sure thing.
[13:51] kane
    This is what I was looking
    forward to in Kyoto.
[14:14] michi
    It appears that Kanetsugu-dono
    has arrived...
[14:18] michi
    along with Maeda Keiji.
[14:23] mitsu
    Impossible!
[14:25] mitsu
    He should have left or been killed!
[14:29] mitsu
    His Highness is after Echigo!
[14:31] michi
    I had said that it'd be
    life-threatening for the Uesugi
[14:34] michi
    if that eccentric were
    to meet with his Highness...
[14:39] michi
    But Kanetsugu-dono just
    kept smiling in response.
[14:45] mitsu
    Smiling?
[14:47] michi
    Indeed.
[14:48] mitsu
    Why was he smiling...
[14:56] person
    Be careful.
[15:01] person
    People tend to show their
     true nature once they're cornered.
[15:06] mitsu
    True nature?
[15:07] person
    Have you forgotten about Naoe Kanetsugu?
[15:12] mitsu
    Naoe-dono?
[15:15] person
    It is a secret among secrets
    that only a few of us know.
[15:25] person
    He is the son of Uesugi Kenshin.
    That is his true nature.
[15:32] person
    He's a much bigger villain to deal with
[15:36] person
    than some silly eccentric.
[15:44] mitsu
    Ayatachi-dono...
[15:46] mitsu
    What do you think Uesugi Kenshin
[15:49] mitsu
    would have done at a time like this?
[15:54] michi
    A while back during
    the battle at Kawanakajima,
[15:57] michi
    he barged into Takeda's camp
    and threw down his sword.
[16:07] michi
    If it were Kenshin...
[16:09] michi
    His Highness's life would be in danger.
[16:13] mitsu
    Y-You think so, as well...
[16:17] mitsu
    Sakon!
[16:19] mitsu
    Hurry and call for Sakon!
[16:21] mitsu
    I need him to run an errand for me.
[16:41] keiji
    Oh... Well, that's not good.
[16:45] keiji
    I'll put on a new string...
[16:54] keiji
    Kanetsugu-dono...
[16:58] kane
    I'm terribly sorry for what I've
    asked you to do in this battle.
[17:08] keiji
    So my troubles seem to have carried
    into the melody of the biwa.
[17:12] keiji
    But don't worry about it.
[17:16] keiji
    A once-in-a-lifetime battle
    with the Chief Advisor.
[17:19] keiji
    When I consider the fun of that,
    what's a head or two?
[17:25] guy
    Usugumo!
[17:30] girl
    Sir, you mustn't! Sir, you mustn't!
[17:33] guy
    Shut up!
[17:35] guy
    Where's Usugumo?
[17:37] guy

    going to keep me waiting?
[17:46] usu
    Eh?
[17:47] guy
    Come!
[17:48] guy

    Sir, please don't.
[18:02] girl

[18:05] girl
    Please pick another girl...
[18:13] guy
    No!
[18:14] guy
    I want Usugumo!
[18:19] guy
    What's this?
[18:26] keiji
    How pathetic.
[18:28] guy
    So, you're picking a fight with me?
[18:57] usu
    Don't!
[18:59] usu
    This is my room.
[19:02] usu
    Please don't.
[19:08] guy
    A whore speaking that way to their customer?
[19:13] guy
    You need to lower your head
    when asking someone to do something!
[19:18] guy
    Well?
[19:28] guy
    What?
[19:41] nar
    Usugumo's topknot was pointing
    straight at the samurai,
[19:46] nar
    but her face was facing the side.
[19:50] nar
    Usugumo was lowering
    her head by looking to the side.
[19:55] guy
    Wh-Why you...
[20:00] guy
    You think that means you lowered your head?
[20:04] usu
    I'm doing all of this for you.
[20:09] guy
    For me?
[20:13] nar
    Lowering her head even though
    she doesn't want to...
[20:16] nar
    The customer doesn't recognize her kindness.
[20:21] nar
    But the ones here are
    Maeda Keiji and Naoe Kanetsugu.
[20:29] nar
    They are the worst possible
    people to pick a fight with.
[20:38] keiji
    This is it!
[20:40] keiji
    Lowering your head like this.
[20:45] kane
    What a fantastic display of will.
[20:48] guy
    Wha?
[20:57] guy
    Stop messing with me!
[21:14] guy
    A merry, black Iberian pig on the wall...
[21:19] person
    Huh?
[21:21] person
    What's going on?
[21:28] keiji
    What's that topknot called?
[21:31] usu
    It's called karawa.
[21:33] usu
    It's very popular lately.
[21:37] keiji
    How eccentric!
[21:40] keiji
    I'm going to have to show it to that monkey.
[21:44] kane
    I'm sure that'll make him quite happy.
[21:47] usu
    Happy?
[21:48] usu
    Monkey?
[21:50] usu
    What monkey are you talking about?

SIGN    Audience with the Ruler
[04:53] person
    Excuse me...
[04:55] person
    Ishida Mitsunari-sama's messenger,
    Shima Sakon-sama, has just arrived.
[05:10] hide
    I see... So you've
    summoned that man.
[05:14] hide
    Mitsunari... that's very like you.
[05:18] mitsu
    Yes.
[05:19] mitsu
    But Milord...
[05:20] hide
    Yes?
[05:22] mitsu
    I beg your pardon, but there's
    something I'd like to ask you.
[05:24] hide
    What is it?
[05:26] mitsu
    The incident at Sado,
    and now this request for an audience...
[05:29] mitsu
    Why do you have such an interest in Echigo?
[05:32] mitsu
    If you truly wished,
[05:34] mitsu
    it'd be easy for you to be rid of
    the Uesugi using Kanetsugu's bloodline.
[05:38] mitsu
    And yet...
[05:42] hide
    Kanetsugu's bloodline...
[05:45] hide
    I can't carelessly touch upon that.
[05:49] hide
    Considering even Lord Nobunaga
[05:52] hide
    tried using that fact
    in his favor and yet failed.
[05:55] mitsu
    Then the event at Ochirimizu Castle still...
[06:02] hide
    I would like to have Naoe Kanetsugu.
[06:08] hide
    Kagekatsu-dono, you refuse,
    despite my repeated pleas?
[06:14] hide
    Then the only thing that awaits Echigo—
[06:22] kane
    What to do...
[06:25] hide
    What do you mean?
[06:27] kane
    I love my lord.
[06:30] hide
    So?
[06:32] kane
    Because of that, I made a promise to him
[06:35] kane
    that we would become a bond for Echigo.
[06:47] kane
    I cannot break my promise.
[06:50] kane
    That is what my love means.
[06:53] hide
    Kanetsugu...
[07:05] kage
    I cannot break that promise either.
[07:10] mitsu
    The two of them had strongly
    objected your request.
[07:16] hide
    At first, I did.
[07:19] hide
    Both of them opposed me.
[07:22] hide
    You ask if this is revenge for that?
[07:24] hide
    It is not.
[07:28] mitsu
    Th-Then why?
[07:33] hide
    Who knows?
[07:35] hide
    We shall probably find out tomorrow.
[07:39] hide
    Let us see exactly what they'll do...
[07:42] hide
    How exactly they'll try
    to protect Echigo this time.
[07:47] hide
    I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.

    Truly perfect weather for an audience...

SIGN    Tokugawa Ieyasu
[08:50] toshi
    No, no...
[08:52] toshi
    It would have been better
    if this day had never come.
[08:57] ieyasu
    I was rather looking forward
    to the meeting today.
[09:02] ieyasu
    If you'll excuse me...
[09:08] toshi
    Rubbing in the fact that
    this has nothing to do with him...
[09:11] person
    Naoe Kanetsugu-sama and
    Maeda Keiji-sama have arrived!
[09:17] toshi
    They're here!
[09:40] person
    Please wait here...
[09:57] mitsu
    Why...
[09:59] mitsu
    Why did you come here, Kanetsugu?
[10:10] mosuke
    For crying out loud...
[10:13] mosuke
    Milord even said this would be
    a losing battle, so what's he thinking?
[10:19] mosuke
    Wait a minute.
[10:20] mosuke
    Knowing Milord... if it came
    down to it, a monkey's ass...
[10:26] mosuke
    Ow, ow, ow!
    What was that for, Jirobo?
[10:30] jiro
    This shack and Jurakudai
[10:34] jiro
    are surrounded by Tamba ninja.
[10:40] mosuke
    So we're trapped like rats?
[10:45] jiro
    It means that the matter
    of us leaving alive or not
[10:48] jiro
    depends on what our lord will do.
[10:50] mosuke
    B-But...
[10:57] keiji
    It's true that, to everyone else,
    our actions seemed reckless.
[11:02] kane
    Indeed.
[11:04] kane
    Even if we had gotten through all
    of the ninjas they had around that place...
[11:08] kane
    The one we'd have to face after that
[11:15] kane
    was the terrifying true form
    of Chief Advisor Hideyoshi.
[11:27] kane
    The Chief Advisor's unknown past...
[11:31] keiji
    Hideyoshi's father,
    his family name was Konokage.
[11:35] keiji
    He was a man who lived in the mountains
    and changed his name to Kinoshita.
[11:39] keiji
    A man who did nothing but
    train as a shinobi in Tamba.
[11:44] keiji
    And Hideyoshi was the child
    of that mountain man.
[11:49] keiji
    Indeed...
[11:51] keiji
    Hideyoshi's form was
    not that of a monkey.
[11:57] keiji
    It was his heavily-trained body and
    shinobi techniques that made him a monkey.
[12:04] kane
    That is why Lord Nobunaga
    drafted Hideyoshi,
[12:08] kane
    and affectionately referred
    to him as "Monkey."
[12:11] keiji
    Yes.
[12:12] keiji
    And up against that monkey,
[12:14] keiji
    even if we had one sword,
    we would not have a second.
[12:18] kane
    And that was not the only surprising thing.
[12:47] mitsu
    Your Highness... Everyone has
    gathered in the inner citadel.
[13:22] mitsu
    Kanetsugu...
[13:24] mitsu
    I am sorry!
[13:26] mitsu
    I had no other choice...
[13:54] keiji
    The overwhelming murderous intent
    that even reached our location...
[13:58] keiji
    It was apparent that he was skilled,
[14:00] keiji
    and his skills with a sword
     surpassed our own.
[14:03] kane
    Yes... I would never have imagined
[14:06] kane
    such a man had been summoned
[14:09] kane
    to this meeting, as well.
[14:12] keiji
    It was even more proof that
    Mitsunari was truly trying to stop us.
[14:38] kane
    It appears that the stage is set.
[14:41] keiji
    Indeed.
[14:42] keiji
    At least half of the people present
    in the inner citadel are enemies.
[14:46] kane
    It appears to be a worthy place for a battle.
[14:50] keiji
    It wouldn't be any fun, otherwise.
[14:56] kane
    Then this battle with the ruler...
[15:00] keiji
    There is but one path to follow!
[15:03] both
    Let us head toward our deaths!
[15:13] mosuke
    What's that drumming?
[15:14] jirobo
    The meeting has started.
[15:16] mosuke
    I pray that everything goes well.
[15:24] someone
    Naoe Kanetsugu-dono
    has arrived at the meeting!
[15:51] toshi
    So this is Naoe Kanetsugu...
[15:54] toshi
    Exactly what kind of man is he?
[16:00] nar
    First, the order to conquer Sado...
[16:03] nar
    and then wanting an audience
    with Maeda Keiji...
[16:07] nar
    All requests from the ruler
    of the land in this era
[16:13] nar
    were the same as absolute orders
    that no one was allowed to decline.
[16:18] nar
    On top of that,
[16:20] nar
    this not only would risk
    Kanetsugu's life and the fate of Echigo,
[16:26] nar
    but it wouldn't be
    an exaggeration to say that
[16:30] nar
    everything was in the hands
    of Hideyoshi and his want for Echigo.
[16:35] nar
    And it was very possible for
    Hideyoshi's hands to crush the fate of Echigo.
[16:55] mitsu
    Well, Kanetsugu?
[16:57] mitsu
    Do you finally understand that
    you're not going to be able
[17:00] mitsu
    to lay a finger on his Highness?
[17:13] mitsu
    C-Could it be that fuel is just
    being added to the fire now?
[17:48] hide
    Welcome, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[17:51] hide
    I haven't seen you since
    Ochirimizu Castle.
[17:54] hide
    Well done on conquering Sado!
[17:57] hide
    Kanetsugu, you shall now
    personally be in charge of Sado.
[18:03] kane
    Yes, Milord.
[18:07] kane
    I will inform my lord, Uesugi Kagekatsu.
[18:20] hide
    Loyal as ever, I see.
[18:26] hide
    And where is Maeda Keiji?
[18:37] mitsu
    Your Highness,
[18:38] mitsu
    the reason that Naoe-dono is here
    today is to report the victory in Sado...
[18:42] mitsu
    Therefore, it appears that he is
    holding back and waiting in the hall.
[18:49] hide
    Then hurry up and call him in!
[18:51] hide
    Let us hear about these
    heroic stories from Sado.
[19:00] toshi
    Naoe-dono,
[19:02] toshi
    I'm going to say this right now!
[19:05] toshi
    Keiji has absconded from our clan,
[19:08] toshi
    so he has nothing to do with us.
[19:11] toshi
    Therefore, this is your...
[19:19] kane
    I have brought him here
[19:23] kane
    because Keiji-dono is my friend.
[19:29] ieyasu
    Friend?
[19:34] hide
    Then hurry and bring him in!
[19:36] hide
    Hurry!
[19:42] kane
    Understood, Milord.
[19:44] kane
    I believe the preparations are finally ready.
[19:48] mitsu
    Preparations?
[19:56] kane
    Well, then...
[19:59] peeps
    Maeda Keiji-sama,
    his Highness is calling for you.
[20:02] keiji
    Understood.

    Wh-What?!

[00:02] keiji
    How troublesome for the Uesugi.
[00:06] kane
    The Chief Advisor wanted
    to hear about the victory in Sado,
[00:10] kane
    as well as the eccentricity of Keiji-dono.
[00:15] kane
    But Keiji-dono's eccentricity
    is neither an exhibition nor an act.
[00:20] kane
    And asking him just to display it...
[00:25] keiji
    Why...
[00:26] keiji
    Why does Hideyoshi want Echigo that much?
[00:30] kane
    I do not know...
[00:42] keiji
    But this could be dealt with easily
    if you just took my head.
[00:50] kane
    I cannot.
[00:58] keiji
    Why?
[01:00] keiji
    Isn't that why you showed me the letter?
[01:04] kane
    No...
[01:07] kane
    I have come to invite you to a battle.
[01:10] keiji
    A battle?
[01:12] kane
    Our enemy is Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
[01:14] Keiji
    Wha...
[01:20] keiji
    You are so...
[01:23] keiji
    I accept this battle.
[01:27] kane
    It will be a losing one.
[01:32] keiji
    That's what makes it great.
[02:05] Kane
    I present to you, Maeda Keiji.
[02:20] mitsu
    Wha?!
[02:31] mitsu
    What is that top knot?!
[02:50] nar
    Two eccentrics enter battle.

[03:00] nar

SIGN    Follow Your Heart...
[04:27] keiji
    But looking back...
[04:29] keiji
    That meeting with Hideyoshi
[04:31] keiji
    was rather exciting.
[04:34] kane
    You make it sound so simple...
[04:37] keiji
    No, it wasn't.
[04:40] keiji
    I mean, Hideyoshi's page,
    at the time, was rather skilled.
[04:46] kane
    Indeed...
[04:47] kane
    He was a man who
    Mitsunari had summoned...
[04:55] kane
    in order to protect Hideyoshi.
[04:58] keiji
    Yes.
[04:59] keiji
    Mitsunari had seen through our resolve.
[05:03] keiji
    I will never forget that face.
[05:07] kane
    Indeed.
[05:09] kane
    Looking back now, it's rather nostalgic.
[05:22] ieyasu
    Oh?
[05:23] ieyasu
    What's this?
[05:24] toshi
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh...
[05:26] toshi
    What is the meaning of this?!
[05:40] kane
    He shall show you his eccentricity...
[05:44] kane
    As long as you are willing
    to forgive some rudeness.
[05:49] kane
    We present to you now....
[05:52] kane
    The form of Maeda Keiji's resolve.
[06:51] keiji
    Hmph.
[07:12] mitsu
    M-Maeda Keiji!
[07:26] toshi
    Wha...
[07:28] toshi
    I told you this would happen!
[07:32] mitsu
    Y-You fool!
[07:35] mitsu
    Are you mocking his Highness?!
[07:45] ieyasu
    So he lowers his head, but he's not
    truly lowering it in his heart...
[07:49] ieyasu
    He doesn't even care if he's
    dealing with the ruler of this land.
[08:10] mitsu
    This stance...
[08:11] mitsu
    Could it be?
[08:13] mitsu
    Is he planning to attack his Highness?!
[08:31] mitsu
    This is the end...
[08:51] hide
    That top knot...
[08:53] hide
    is rather amusing.
[09:07] hide
    Maeda Keiji...
[09:09] hide
    Raise your head.
[09:29] hide
    Why?
[09:30] nar
    It was at this time,
[09:33] nar
    that both Hideyoshi and Keiji had seen
    through each other's true intentions.
[09:39] nar
    Hideyoshi was asking,
[09:41] nar
    "Did you not like the fact that I
    asked you to show me your eccentricity?"
[09:49] keiji
    This is my righteousness...
[09:55] hide
    You would risk your life on that?
[09:59] keiji
    That is what an eccentric does, sir.
[10:17] hide
    Then...
[10:18] ieyasu
    By the way, Naoe-dono...
[10:21] ieyasu
    You had said that
    Keiji-dono was your friend...
[10:26] ieyasu
    Then what exactly is a friend?
[10:30] kane
    Friend?
[10:32] ieyasu
    I was asking myself if there
    was anybody who I, Ieyasu,
[10:37] ieyasu
    could actually call a friend.
[10:41] kane
    Then...
[10:42] kane
    A friend...
[10:45] kane
    is someone you can die alongside
     and not say a word.
[10:51] nar
    Ieyasu immediately realized...
[10:54] nar
    that Kanetsugu was ready to die with Keiji.
[10:59] nar
    The thing that was most
    in the way of attacking Hideyoshi
[11:02] nar
    was the presence of the page.
[11:04] nar
    That is why Kanetsugu was watching
    neither Keiji nor Hideyoshi...
[11:11] nar
    Instead, he stared at the page.
[11:15] nar
    Ieyasu had realized that fact.
[11:21] ieyasu
    To die together...
[11:23] ieyasu
    Is that the righteousness of the Uesugi?
[11:29] kane
    Indeed.
[11:30] kane
    It is the treasure that we had
    received from our liege, Lord Kenshin.
[11:53] sent
    Is it another...
[11:55] sent
    ...war?
SIGN    Kenshin's Older Sister and Kagekatsu's Mother
    Sentoin
[11:57] kage
    Mother...
[12:03] sent
    Lord Kenshin would always talk
[12:06] sent
    to Bishamonten for days
    right before going into battle.
[12:13] sent
    You reminded me of that just now.
[12:20] kage
    As for a war...
[12:23] kage
    Kanetsugu is fighting one right now in Kyoto.
[12:31] kage
    Kanetsugu... follow through
    with your righteousness.
[12:35] kage
    If you are unable to follow
    through with your righteousness,
[12:38] kage
    you will just have to fight the Chief Advisor.
[12:41] kage
    Otherwise, Lord Kenshin will laugh at you...
[12:46] kage
    Kanetsugu.
[12:56] hide
    So you're saying that
[12:58] hide
    the righteousness of the Uesugi
    is a treasure passed down from Lord Kenshin...
[13:06] kane
    Like the Lotus that is able to bloom
    a beautiful flower from the dirt...
[13:12] kane
    I would like to think we are
    that Lotus within this world
[13:16] kane
    of Sengoku, the Warring States.
[13:20] hide
    And that flower is.... righteousness?
[13:23] kane
    Yes, indeed.
[13:27] nar
    Kanetsugu's smile was truly kind...
[13:32] nar
    And...
[13:37] nar
    Despite never meeting Uesugi Kenshin,
[13:42] nar
    who was admired as
    the Hero Above the Clouds...
[13:46] nar
    Ieyasu felt as though he had seen him there.
[13:53] nar
    And Hideyoshi also...
[14:02] hide
    This had happened before...
[14:07] hide
    That's right!
[14:09] kane
    What to do...
[14:13] hide
    What do you mean?
[14:14] kane
    I love my lord.
[14:17] kane
    Because of that, I made a promise to him
[14:21] kane
    that we would become a bond for Echigo.
[14:28] kane
    I cannot break my promise.
[14:30] kane
    That is what my love means.
[14:36] kage
    I cannot break that promise, either.
[14:40] kage
    Therefore, in regards to making
    Kanetsugu your retainer...
[14:44] both
    We decline.
[14:51] hide
    This...
[14:54] hide
    This is the same as last time...
[14:57] hide
    I was... by this wind...
[15:08] ieyasu
    Your Highness?
[15:12] ieyasu
    The wind...
[15:14] ieyasu
    that had previously belonged to Lord Kenshin...
[15:23] ieyasu
    It is, indeed, as though a Gifuu,
    a righteous wind, is blowing...
[15:33] hide
    Yes...
[15:36] ieyasu
    Maeda-dono.
[15:39] ieyasu
    You truly have a wonderful friend.
[15:46] keiji
    Yes, indeed.
[16:09] hide
    Maeda Keiji!
[16:10] hide
    It was a pleasure.
[16:37] hide
    Were you able to get him?
[16:41] nar
    Hideyoshi had also seen through
    Kanetsugu's murderous intent.
[16:48] nar
    Kanetsugu was ready to fight with the page.
[16:52] nar
    Hideyoshi was asking if the page
    was able to eliminate that attack.
[16:59] page
    I do not know.
[17:01] hide
    Oh?
[17:02] hide
    You, who is said to be
    the best of the Yagyu clan?
[17:05] page
    If my opponent was a living person,
    there would be no problem,
[17:09] page
    but....
[17:11] page
    My opponent is a dead man.
[17:16] nar
    Kanetsugu was a genuine man of war.
[17:23] nar
    If it was for battle,
[17:25] nar
    he would immediately
    be able to throw his life away
[17:29] nar
    without trying to protect himself.
[17:33] nar
    There was no way to block an attack
    from such a man with just a sword.
[17:42] mitsu
    Your Highness...
[17:45] mitsu
    The lands of the East
    are still out of our control.
[17:48] mitsu
    If Date, Hojo, and Tokugawa
    were to band together...
[17:52] mitsu
    and then, if Uesugi also joined...
[17:55] mitsu
    the dream of ruling the land will...
[18:08] hide
    But...
[18:09] hide
    At this rate, this will
    be my losing battle.
[18:13] hide
    Mitsunari, summon Keiji back for the banquet.
[18:18] mitsu
    Wh-What do you intend to do?
[18:24] hide
    I shall present him with
    a reward in front of everyone.
[18:28] hide
    Otherwise, I'll look like a fool.
[18:38] kane
    Sorry to keep you waiting.

    Milord!
[18:41] mosuke
    Welcome back.
[18:47] jirobo

[19:32] toshi
    Just thinking about him appearing again...
[19:36] toshi
    I can't even get drunk.
[19:41] ieyasu
    You think he's going to appear
    in some extremely eccentric fashion again?
[19:46] toshi
    It's Keiji we're talking about...
[19:48] toshi
    who knows what he'll do when he gets cocky.
[20:16] keiji

    your worries were for naught.

    Keiji-dono has presented himself
    as a rather admirable samurai.
[20:38] hide
    Well, now...
[20:44] hide
    I see... So that's your next eccentric move.
[20:50] hide
    I've been had.
[20:57] hide
    Well done on your eccentricity.
[20:59] hide
    Maeda Keiji, continue to be

    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[00:36] nar
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[00:39] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."

    You're kidding!
[02:38] girl
    Are you serious?
[02:39] keiji
    Y-Yeah...
[02:40] girl
    Are you really Keiji-han?
[02:40] keiji
    I'm Keiji.
[02:42] girl
    Very nice.
[02:43] girl
    I like this version better.
[02:45] girl
    We'll gladly play with you tonight.
[02:45] keiji
    Hey, hey, hey...
[02:47] keiji
    Give me a break.
[03:03] usu
    You idiot...
[03:05] usu
    Coming in dressed like that.
[03:08] usu
    You're quite the sight to the girls here.
[03:10] keiji
    Yeah, well...
[03:14] keiji
    More importantly, I wanted to thank you.
[03:17] usu
    Thank me?
[03:19] keiji
    Yes.
[03:21] keiji
    Because you told me about the karawa,
[03:30] keiji
    I was able to get my way.
[03:32] usu
    Oh, the thing you said you were
    going to show the monkey?
[03:37] keiji
    Thankfully, I'll be able to relax
    in Kyoto for quite a while.
[03:40] usu
    Really?
[03:44] usu
    That makes me very happy.
[03:48] usu
    By the way, where's Naoe-han?
[03:52] usu
    Weren't you here together?
[03:54] keiji
    Yeah, he said he had something to do.
[03:59] keiji
    Right about now, he's probably...
[04:30] kane
    Mitsunari-dono.
[04:33] mitsu
    Good news...
[04:35] mitsu
    Echigo is saved.
[04:38] kane
    Then...
[04:40] mitsu
    His Highness just stated that.
[04:46] hide
    Mitsunari...
[04:48] hide
    I don't care about Echigo anymore.
[04:50] mitsu
    Why is that?
[04:52] hide
    You had previously asked...
[04:54] hide
    why I had such an interest in Echigo...
[04:57] mitsu
    Yes, sir.
[04:59] hide
    At that moment, I wondered why myself.
[05:06] hide
    And with those two in front of me,
    I finally found the answer.
[05:11] hide
    It appears that it wasn't Echigo I wanted,
[05:14] hide
    but it was the fact that I had
    not given up on Naoe Kanetsugu.
[05:19] mitsu
    Milord...
[05:21] hide
    But that doesn't matter now. Because...
[05:28] hide
    I have you.
[05:40] kane
    I see...
[05:43] mitsu
    But...
[05:47] mitsu
    I don't know how many times
    I thought I'd lose my life today.
[05:51] kane
    But you're here, alive and well.
[05:54] mitsu
    Both of us are.
[06:01] kane
    I'd like to thank you again.
[06:04] kane
    Because of your help,
    I was able to protect Echigo.
[06:08] mitsu
    No... that was all because of you two.
[06:13] kane
    But I'd like you to tell me one thing.
[06:17] kane
    Why did you let me know
    about this whole thing by letter
[06:22] kane
    before his Highness
    sent out an official order?
[06:26] mitsu
    That's because...
[06:29] mitsu
    I can't let you die.
[06:33] mitsu
    You see... My bond with you
[06:37] mitsu
    was given to me by Lord Nobunaga.
[06:40] kane
    Lord Nobunaga?
[06:42] mitsu
    Indeed.
[06:44] mitsu
    I believe it was... in the land of Azuchi...
[06:50] mitsu
    Lord Nobunaga had randomly
    shown up at Lord Hideyoshi's mansion.
[07:25] nobu
    What's this?
[07:27] saki
    Funazushi, Milord.
[07:28] nobu
    The famous dish from Konoe?
[07:30] saki
    I had acquired it from a master
    Funazushi chef at the request of my lord.
[07:44] nobu
    Are you the one named Sakichi?
[07:48] saki
    M-Milord, you know of me?
[07:52] nobu
    I've heard from the monkey.
[07:54] nobu
    It appears that he's proud
    to have you as one of his pages.
[07:58] saki
    I-I am very humbled.
[08:03] nobu
    He is one that suddenly
    came to power from nothing
[08:05] nobu
    and pulled himself to the top by force.
[08:07] nobu
    Therefore, he didn't have
    any retainers to serve his family.
[08:12] nobu
    Most of his retainers are those
    who used to serve other families.
[08:18] nobu
    But the monkey found you
    and raised you from the ground up.
[08:22] nobu
    You are a retainer who is like his own child.
[08:26] nobu
    He is very fond of you.
[08:31] nobu
    Raise your head.
[08:46] nobu
    You have eyes that shine very bright.
[08:49] nobu
    I know of another with eyes like that.
[08:58] nobu
    Higuchi Yoroku.
[09:02] kane
    That's...
[09:04] mitsu
    Indeed.
[09:05] mitsu
    It was your name.
[09:08] mitsu
    And...
[09:11] nobu
    Remember that name.
[09:14] nobu
    One day, those with similar eyes may meet,
[09:18] nobu
    and be fated to see the same dream.
[09:31] kane
    I see...
[09:36] kane
    Then we...
[09:38] mitsu
    Lord Nobunaga had brought us together.
[09:43] kane
    We are now...
[09:47] kane
    brothers bound by righteousness.
[09:54] mitsu
    I couldn't ask for more.
[10:01] keiji
    I see. So it was Lord Nobunaga
    who brought you two together...
[10:06] kane
    Mitsunari-dono and I had
    a very strange relationship.
[10:11] keiji
    It certainly was thanks to him
     that everything worked out in the end.
[10:17] keiji
    No, wait...
[10:20] keiji
    There was still one person
    who didn't agree with the result.
[10:28] kane
    You're talking about that one man...
[11:39] ieyasu
    You've arrived, Hanzo.
[11:44] hanzo
    Yes, Milord.
[11:46] hanzo
    I am here.
SIGN    Hattori Hanzo
[11:50] nar
    This man...
[11:52] nar
    Hattori Hanzo Masanari.
[11:55] nar
    Also called Demon Hanzo,
[11:57] nar
    was the strong-armed military commander
    who governed the Koga and Iga ninja clans.
[12:02] hanzo
    So... What is it that you need from me?
[12:06] ieyasu
    Would you find out about Hideyoshi's page
[12:10] ieyasu
    who was present
    at Maeda Keiji's audience?
[12:14] hanzo
    The page?
[12:15] ieyasu
    That page looked to be quite skilled.
[12:22] hanzo
    Then I will make an announcement.
[12:24] hanzo
    He is Yagyu Muneaki.
[12:28] hanzo
    The fourth son of Yagyu Sekishusai.
[12:30] ieyasu
    What?
[12:35] ieyasu
    So he is the child of Yagyu Sekishusai,
[12:38] ieyasu
    The man who had inherited the Shinkage-ryu
[12:40] ieyasu
    from the master swordsman,
    Kamiizumi Nobutsuna?
[12:43] ieyasu
    I heard he is one of the best
    the Yagyu has to offer.
[12:46] hanzo
    His skill is one to be feared...
[12:52] ieyasu
    Hanzo, why do you know this?
[12:58] hanzo
    It appears that Maeda Toshiie-dono
[13:00] hanzo
    had persistently asked
    Ishida Mitsunari about him.
[13:05] ieyasu
    Oh, I see.
[13:07] ieyasu
    So Maeda-dono had realized it, as well.
[13:14] ieyasu
    Nothing less from Yari no Mataza.
[13:20] ieyasu
    But knowing that the page
    is from the Yagyu clan,
[13:27] ieyasu
    it's hard for me to believe that things
    would end peacefully with swords undrawn.
[13:47] mosuke
    Milord, my spear.
[13:49] kane
    It's fine.
[13:51] kane
    It's the page of his Highness.
[13:53] mosuke
    What?!
[13:54] mosuke
    The Chief Advisor's?!
[13:55] kane
    What do you need?
[14:05] mune
    This doesn't sit well with me!
[14:06] mune
    I can take you down with a single blow!
[14:10] mune
    I say that with confidence!
[14:13] mune
    But at that time,
[14:16] mune
    I was unable to picture your dead face,
    no matter how hard I tried!
[14:24] mune
    That has never happened to me!
[14:27] mune
    Why is that?
[14:29] mune
    I want to know why that is!
[14:35] mune
    Fight me.
[14:41] kane
    What is your name?
[14:43] mune
    Yagyu Muneaki.
[14:47] mosuke
    Y-Yagyu?!
[14:49] mosuke
    The family of sword masters?
[14:52] kane
    I see.
[15:03] mosuke
    Milord.
[15:04] mosuke
    My spear. Right here.
[15:09] mosuke
    Huh?
[15:16] kane
    If you were right there,
[15:19] kane
    his Highness was about where
    that rock is, was he not?
[15:25] mune
    What of it?
[15:31] mune
    What?!
[15:42] mune
    What is the meaning of this...
[15:49] kane
    You wouldn't have been able
    to protect his Highness, after all.
[15:55] mune
    What do you mean?!
[15:58] kane
    At that time...
[16:00] kane
    It appeared that you thought
    it was my duty to attack you...
[16:07] kane
    But if that was Keiji-dono...
[16:13] mune
    What?
[16:14] kane
    He is a tiger.
[16:17] kane
    If your opponent was a tiger...
[16:20] mune
    I-Impossible...
[16:24] nar
    At that moment...
[16:27] nar
    Muneaki had seen everything.
[16:32] nar
    It's true that, at the time, Kanetsugu's
    murderous intent was being pointed at him.
[16:39] nar
    But...
[16:43] nar
    the one Kanetsugu leapt for was Hideyoshi,
[16:48] nar
    the one he was supposed
    to protect, and not him.
[16:53] nar
    And then Muneaki feels an intense impact.
[17:28] mune
    Then...
[17:30] mune
    What about that murderous intent?!
[17:31] mune
    What of the intense murderous intent
    that you were pointing towards me?!
[17:34] kane
    It was just a diversion to distract you.
[17:38] mune
    That's a lie!
[17:40] mune
    Then how could you have possibly
    told Maeda-dono about that diversion?
[17:44] mune
    Are you mocking me?!
[17:49] sakon
    Muneaki!
[17:50] sakon
    You are being rude!
[18:05] sakon
    That would be quite easy for
    Maeda-dono and Naoe Kanetsugu-dono.
[18:12] mune
    What?!
[18:13] sakon
    They are both genuine men of war.
[18:16] mune
    Men of war?
[18:18] sakon
    There is an infinite variety of men of war.
[18:21] sakon
    They are demons whose
    forms are everchanging.
[18:25] sakon
    Demons like that cannot fit
    without having their alpha and omega.
[18:34] mune
    B-But that's...
[18:43] sakon
    It is foolish to compare
    strategists and men of war.
[19:00] mosuke
    Th-This guy's amazing!
[19:06] sakon
    If you still don't understand,
    I will be more than happy to fight you.
[19:18] mune
    It is true that place was,
    indeed, a battlefield.
[19:26] mune
    It appears that I would have lost.
[19:34] kane
    And...
[19:36] kane
    Who might you be?
[19:39] sakon
    The chief retainer of Ishida Mitsunari.
[19:41] sakon
    My name is Shima Sakon.
SIGN    Shima Sakon
[19:47] kane
    Mitsunari-dono's?
[19:49] sakon
    Indeed.
[19:50] sakon
    I had brought you a message from my lord:
[19:54] sakon
    "Hurry back to Echigo and prepare for war."
[19:59] sakon
    We are attacking Odawara.
[20:04] kane
    So the big battle with the Hojo
    is finally about to begin.
[20:13] sakon
    It's more amusing when
    you fight big opponents.
[20:16] kane
    Indeed!
[20:18] kane
    But before that...
[20:21] kane
    Muneaki-dono had come
    all this way to fight me.
[20:27] kane
    I have some fine sake from Echigo.
[20:29] kane
    Why don't we battle with that?
[20:32] mune
    Wha?!
[20:39] mune
    Then we shall have
    Shima-sama as the witness.
[20:43] mune
    With sake, both men of war
    and strategists can fight.
[20:52] sakon
    All right. I accept.
[20:55] kane
    Well, then...
[21:01] nar
    After this, Muneaki would
    change lords many times.
[21:07] nar
    And, in the end, he joined an uprising
    against the one who killed his master
[21:16] nar
    and righteously struck down eighteen men
     before being gunned down himself.
[21:23] nar
    And Sakon was another man of righteousness.
[21:28] nar
    After this, invited by Mitsunari,
    he became one of his higher-ranking officials,
[21:31] nar
    and at the end, disappeared,
    like a mist, in Sekigahara.
[21:37] nar
    That was his righteousness
    to Ishida Mitsunari.
[21:48] nar
    The audience with Hideyoshi that held
    Echigo's fate in the balance ends here.

    combines "oneself" with "sheep."

[02:37] jiro
    Why, thank you.
[02:40] both
    Whoa, there.
[02:42] mosuke
    Whoa?
[02:49] jiro
    Though we're not celebrating
    anything in particular,
[02:50] jiro
    this is celebratory sake!
[02:53] mosuke
    Indeed, it is.
[02:56] mosuke
    Celebratory sake for our lives
    lasting a little longer.
[02:59] mosuke
    Considering the fact that we were
    able to come back from the audience
[03:03] mosuke
    with the Chief Advisor,
    Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
[03:05] jiro
    This time, I was definitely
    fearing that it'd be the end.

    No way!
[04:09] mosuke
    From that distance?
[04:16] kane
    We'll just have to return the favor.
[04:20] big
    He's trying to do the same
    thing as Maeda-dono!
[04:23] big
    Laughable!

[04:55] keiji
    That is indeed the Uesugi clan's
    strategist, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[05:00] mosuke
    They were once enemies shooting
    arrows at each other.
[05:04] jiro
    But then in 1588...
[05:09] both
    Their reunion will lead to them
    being called the best of friends.
SIGN    Uwanariuchi
[05:18] dude
    On this day, the 24th of July...
[05:24] jiro
    Uwanariuchi is a fight among women
[05:28] jiro
    when a husband remarries
    another woman
[05:31] jiro
    within a month of his divorce.
[05:34] mosuke
    The first wife gathers helpers
[05:36] mosuke
    and then barges into the
[05:38] mosuke
    second wife's kitchen,
    wielding wooden swords.
[05:41] mosuke
    But of course, the second wife
    isn't going to take this lying down,
[05:44] mosuke
    so she gathers helpers, and they
    wield wooden swords of their own
[05:47] mosuke
    for an all-out brawl.
[05:49] jiro
    However, a third party
    is normally called
[05:50] jiro
    to get in the middle of this
[05:53] jiro
    and pays the first wife
    a suitable amount of money
[05:56] jiro
    to try to get her to leave.
[06:00] mosuke
    However...
[06:03] mosuke
    The helper that the second wife
[06:04] mosuke
    had hired was an imposter who
    was using Keiji-dono's name.
[06:08] jiro
    Of course, Lord Kanetsugu
    didn't stay quiet and
[06:12] kane
    Now, let's see it!
[06:12] jiro
    when he tried to
    teach him a lesson...
[06:15] kane
    Your righteousness
    towards these men!
[06:19] mosuke
    Hearing what happened,
    Keiji-dono arrived, as well.

    someone had to pay.

    Indeed, he is not worth it.
[06:59] hachi
    I-Is he dead?!
[07:04] guy
    It's as if a tiger just struck...
[07:09] keiji
    Naoe-dono, it's been a while since
    the battle at Kasugayama Castle.
[07:16] kane
    Maeda Keiji-dono.
[07:18] keiji
    I know what's going on.
[07:20] keiji
    Do as you please.
[07:23] kane
    You...
[07:24] kane
    Hear me!
[07:26] kane
    This is not an uwanariuchi!
[07:29] kane
    It is a battle of life or death!
[07:32] kane
    Therefore, we will not be involved.
[07:35] kane
    I, Naoe, and Maeda-dono
    shall observe.
[07:38] kane
    Fight to your heart's content!
[07:41] mosuke
    No, no, no!
[07:44] mosuke
    It's already bad enough
    with just one of them,
[07:47] mosuke
    but when those two are together,
    the craziness would increases exponentially.
[07:51] mosuke
    Because of that, we really
    almost died in Sado.
[07:55] jiro
    Indeed!
[07:56] bg
    The Honma clan of Sado
    kept repeating their internal strife
[07:57] jiro
    That was all part of the Chief Advisor's
    plan to take Echigo from the Uesugi.
[07:59] bg
    and refused to listen to any
    mediation from you.
[08:07] jiro
    He was trying to make
    the point that if the Uesugi
[08:09] jiro
    couldn't mediate the fighting
    between the clans in Sado,
[08:11] jiro
    that they had no right
    to control Echigo.
[08:16] mosuke
    On top of that,
[08:18] mosuke
    the Honma clan that was divided
    north and south on Sado
[08:21] mosuke
    were in on Hideyoshi's plan and
    pretended to fight each other.
[08:25] jiro
    Southern Sado would attack
    any with the Uesugi flag,
[08:29] jiro
    but would ignore the
    flags of Northern Sado.
[08:32] fuji
    We shall take care of them
    in a single blow!
[08:43] mosuke
    But our lord went into the enemy
    camp to quickly stop the battle.
[08:52] keiji
    Take that!
[08:58] seion
    Show these men no mercy!
[09:03] nuns
    Yes, Milady!
[09:12] sub
    M-Milord!
[09:14] sub
    The South's army
     is being destroyed,
[09:16] sub
    and the Uesugi army
    is heading our way.
[09:19] sub
    What shall we do?
[09:20] sub
    Please decide!
[09:26] fat
    All troops attack the southern army!
[09:29] sub
    But, Milord, that's—
[09:31] fat
    I will not assist a crippled army.
[09:34] fat
    So we shall strike and destroy
    the South's army before Uesugi gets to them!
[09:39] fat
    That is the only way
    we will survive!
[09:48] taka
    Takatsuna!
[09:49] taka
    You betrayed us!
[09:51] fat
    Shut up!
[09:52] fat
    Sado is all mine!
[09:58] fat
    What?
[10:04] kane
    The winners and losers
    have been determined in this battle.
[10:07] kane
    Consequently, there is no need
    for any more pointless bloodshed.
[10:12] kane
    Let those, both North and South,
[10:14] kane
    who pledge allegiance
    to the Uesugi clan, surrender now!
[10:17] kane
    However, if there are
     still those who oppose...
[10:20] kane
    I, Naoe Kanetsugu...
[10:22] keiji
    And I, Maeda Keiji...
[10:29] both
    Shall become fierce dragons
    and confront you with righteousness!
[11:22] jiro
    Nothing less from two men of
    battle who work so well together.
[11:25] bg hide
    At this rate, there's nowhere
     I can go to overpower Uesugi!
[11:26] jiro
    The Chief Advisor's plot
    was completely destroyed.
[11:29] bg hide
    Taking over Echigo will
    have to wait for another time!
[11:33] jiro
    However, there was one man who
    cornered our invincible lord,
[11:36] jiro
    leading him to almost
    take his own life.
[11:41] jiro
    That was none other than...
[11:43] jiro
    the man who believed in unifying
    the country, Lord Oda Nobunaga.
[12:06] nobu
    How about it,
[12:07] nobu
    Shindou?
[12:08] shin
    Y-Yes...
[12:12] shin
    Without a doubt.
[12:19] nobu
    Those tears can't be helped.
[12:23] nobu
    Higuchi Yoroku!
[12:24] nobu
    I shall give that fan to you!
[12:27] nobu
    Take it with you to Echigo.
[12:30] kane
    Thank you, I am honored—
[12:32] nobu
    Take good care of it.
[12:34] nobu
    That is a keepsake of your mother's.
[12:37] kane
    My mother's?
[12:41] nobu
    That's right.
[12:43] nobu
    The younger sister of the former
    Chief Advisor, Konoe Sakihisa,
[12:46] nobu
    Princess Tae, is your mother.
[12:49] kane
    B-But...
[12:53] nobu
    Do you not believe me?
[12:54] kane
    Indeed...
[12:55] nobu
    Then quickly go back to Echigo...
[12:58] nobu
    and ask for yourself...
    who your real father is.
[13:03] kane
    M-My real father?
[13:07] mosuke
    Moon, you may have been observing
[13:12] mosuke
    the fact that many had shed
    blood and tears because of this.
[13:20] mosuke
    The gift that Lord Nobunaga
    gave to Echigo...
[13:23] mosuke
    That was...
[13:28] mosuke
    It was a trap to seal the
    Uesugi clan within Echigo,
[13:31] [SONG] sign red
    Borrowed from Keiji, without permission.
SIGN    Borrowed from Keiji, secretly.
SIGN    Borrowed from Keiji, by lying to him.
SIGN    Borrowed from Keiji, without telling him.
[13:31] mosuke
    and destroy their dream
    of unifying the land.
[13:37] mosuke
    Because of that, our lord threw
    himself away, for the sake of righteousness.
[13:45] kane
    Sentouin-sama.
[13:48] kane
    My father is Higuchi Souemon,
     without a doubt.
[13:53] sou
    Yoroku...
[13:55] kane
    Therefore, I would like to know
    exactly how I became Souemon's child.
[14:06] sen
    All right...
[14:08] sen
    Since you have that
    resolve, I shall tell you.
[14:23] kage
    A baby?
[14:25] kono
    This baby was born from Kagetora-dono
    and Tae, my late younger sister.
[14:33] kage
    Wh-What?!
[14:35] kono
    This is the true proof
    of my blood oath.
[14:40] kage
    Th-That's impossible...
[14:43] kono
    There we go.
[14:46] kono
    There, there.
[14:50] kono
    You look just like
    Kagetora-dono, don't you?
[14:55] kono
    There...
[15:13] kage
    Did you hear what was just said?
[15:25] kage
    Forgive me...
    but this is for Echigo.
[15:47] kage
    In Echigo...
[15:50] kage
    even the retainers believe Kagetora-sama
     is the avatar of Bishamonten.
[15:55] kage
    Because of that,
    our hearts are as one.
[16:02] kage
    And you're saying that despite his oath
    of celibacy to the gods and Buddha,
[16:07] kage
    he had a child with the younger sister
     of the Chief Advisor in the shadows...
[16:12] kono
    What are you saying
    I should do, then?
[16:14] kage
    If a war were to start in Echigo,
[16:17] kage
    the dream that you share with
    Kagetora-sama will never come to pass!
[16:24] kage
    I, Naoe Kagetsuna,
    shall take that baby.
[16:32] sen
    After I heard what had
     happened from Kagetsuna,
[16:38] sen
    I ended up relying on Souemon,
[16:41] sen
    as he is who I was closest with and
    so could be trusted with this secret.
[16:49] sou
    We are stationed here
    in the mountains year-round,
[16:54] sou
    therefore, no one would be suspicious
    if we suddenly had a baby.
[17:04] sou
    Very well.
[17:05] sou
    I, Higuchi Souemon,
    shall guard this child with my life.
[17:16] kane
    But in that case, I should have
     just been abandoned...
[17:20] kane
    No...
[17:21] kane
    I should have been killed.
[17:24] kane
    Then Nobunaga wouldn't be taking advantage
     of this situation in his quest for Echigo.
[17:30] sen
    Do you think that Omijou-sama
[17:32] sen
    swore an oath of celibacy
     because he wanted to?
[17:36] kane
    W-Well...
[17:39] sen
    For Echigo, he had no children.
[17:42] sen
    He didn't know about
    the happiness of normal people,
[17:44] sen
    and was left to carry
    everything upon his shoulders.
[17:46] sen
    Why would I let the child
    of my younger brother be abandoned?
[17:56] kane
    S-Sentouin-sama...
[18:03] sen
    If I were to abandon you,
[18:04] sen
    though the people may forgive me,
     the heavens would not.
[18:10] sen
    This was the righteousness of myself,
     Kagetsuna, and Souemon.
[18:15] kane
    So, you're saying that the reason I lived
    was because of righteousness?
[18:22] sen
    Indeed.
[18:24] sen
    You are the child of
    our righteousness.
[18:35] kane
    I am the child...
[18:37] kane
    of your righteousness.
[18:43] mosuke
    But at the time,
[18:45] mosuke
    the loyalty between daimyos and
     their retainers was vague.
[18:49] mosuke
    Despite being retainers,
[18:50] mosuke
    if they were not able
    to protect their territory,
[18:53] mosuke
    they threw away their masters.
[18:54] jiro
    And the people of Echigo were
     very passionate about their territory.
[19:01] jiro
    Because of that, even Lord Kenshin
    had to become a god.
[19:06] jiro
    Swearing a lifetime of celibacy,
     becoming the avatar of Bishamonten,
[19:12] jiro
    he became a god of war,
     winning every one of his battles,
[19:15] jiro
    and his retainers finally swore loyalty to him.
[19:19] mosuke
    However, if Lord Kenshin
    was no longer a god...
[19:25] ken
    Behold, Yoroku, that moon...
[19:29] ken
    At first glance, it looks beautiful,
[19:31] ken
    but if the night sky only had
    the moon alone, it would be dull.
[19:34] ken
    It is the clouds the moon shines upon
     that make it appear so elegant.
[19:40] kane
    But...
[19:41] kane
    If the clouds get in the way
     of the moonlight,
[19:44] kane
    there is only darkness.
[19:45] kane
    No elegance or anything else.
[20:02] kane
    Omijou-sama, do you remember
     this folding fan?
[20:07] ken
    There is no way I can forget it.
[20:10] ken
    That folding fan belonged
     to Princess Tae...
[20:13] ken
    And...
[20:14] kane
    And?
[20:18] ken
    It is the fan of the woman
    who I loved the most.
[20:25] kane
    Omijou-sama...
[20:32] both
    Nothing less from Lord Kenshin.
[20:34] both
    He managed to laugh off
    Lord Nobunaga's trap.
[20:38] mosuke
    The two were very much alike.
[20:42] jiro
    Not to mention, if you happened
    to anger our lord...
[21:13] fat
    What?
[21:19] mosuke
    Because of that, there was no doubt
    about who our lord was related to.
[21:22] mosuke
    It would eventually be found out
    that they were father and son.
[21:26] mosuke
    Huh?
[21:30] mosuke
    I'm sorry!
[21:31] mosuke
    Please forgive me!
[21:31] mosuke
    I won't say anymore!
[21:32] mosuke
    This is top secret among the Uesugi!
[21:34] mosuke
    I won't speak of it again!
[21:35] mosuke
    So please, just spare my life!
[21:38] mosuke
    Oh, is that fire real?
[21:41] jiro
    Yep.
[21:44] mosuke
    Are you all right, Jirobo?
[21:46] mosuke
    Hey!
[21:47] mosuke
    The fire's out now.
[21:48] mosuke
    Wake up!
[21:49] mosuke
    It's your turn to talk next!
[21:51] mosuke
    Poor Jirobo...
[21:53] mosuke
    Are you okay?
[21:54] mosuke
    Come on, tell us of the tragic
    and lonely life of the shinobi.

    Have we got enough arrows?

    Swords, armors...
    Bring them all out! Hurry!

    Suibara-dono is fired up
    for the coming battle.
[00:27] Kagekatsu
    Yes, he did have to sit out

    He must be itching for battle.

    Suibara Chikanori.
[00:40] Nar
    During the legendary
    fourth battle of Kawanakajima,
[00:45] Nar
    though it was his first campaign,
    he demonstrated outstanding prowess in battle,
[00:48] Nar
    and Kenshin promoted him to the high rank
     of chief vassal of the Uesugi clan.
[00:53] Fujita
    Hm... I don't see Naoe-dono around.
[00:59] Kagekatsu
    Knowing Kanetsugu before combat,
    he's probably at...
[01:04] Keiji VO
    Unto-an?
[01:06] Keiji
    Isn't that...
[01:08] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[01:10] Kanetsugu
    It was the temple where Kagekatsu and
    I trained, by command of Lord Kenshin,
[01:15] Kanetsugu
    back during the days of my youth,
    when I was still called Yoroku.
[01:19] Kanetsugu
    I met a man there who
    I'll never forget as long as I live.
[01:25] Keiji
    A man you'll never forget?
[01:28] Kanetsugu
    A sworn friend to Ishida-dono,
    his best vassal, second to none.
[01:31] Keiji
    The one who died at Sekigahara,
[01:35] Keiji VO
    The Justice Minister
    Otani Yoshitsugu?
[01:39] Kanetsugu VO
    Yes.
[01:41] Kanetsugu
    He sought nothing for himself,
    and died selflessly for his friend.
[01:46] Kanetsugu VO
    That man.

[03:27] Mosuke
    Brings back memories.
[03:29] Mosuke
    The temple hasn't changed a bit.
[03:32] Mosuke
    You know when I was very young,
[03:35] Mosuke
    I was sent here from another
    province to do training.
[03:38] Kanetsugu
    Oh?
[03:39] Mosuke
    The training was so rigid
    I fled in the middle of the night.
[03:45] Mosuke
    I've been wandering ever since.
[03:47] Mosuke
    Huh?
[03:54] Mosuke
    Yeah, yeah.
    I remember this stone floor.
[03:57] Mosuke
    I remember this...
[04:02] Boy Mosuke
    C-Cold... It's so c-cold...
[04:07] Boy Mosuke
    At least I don't have to do
    that training anymore.
[04:12] Boy Mosuke
    Hm? Huh?
[04:15] Boy Mosuke
    Wh-What the...
[04:18] Boy Mosuke VO
    Hey, you!
[04:20] Boy Mosuke
    What are you doing?
[04:24] Boy Yoroku
    What am I doing?
[04:25] Boy Yoroku
    I heard there's a stone engraving
[04:26] Boy Yoroku
    of the Dharma Flower Sutra
    buried under this stone floor...
[04:29] Boy Yoroku
    That's why they say it's meritorious
    to walk the grounds of this Unto-an Temple.
[04:33] Boy Yoroku
    I'm going to find out if it's really here.
[04:35] Boy Mosuke
    Stop it! You'll get yourself cursed!
[04:37] Boy Yoroku
    I'm not going to get cursed!
[04:39] Boy Mosuke
    Huh?
[04:40] Boy Yoroku
    Look.
[04:41] Boy Yoroku
    You don't know fire's hot till you touch it.
[04:44] Boy Yoroku
    And you can't tell the truth from a lie
    until you see it with your own eyes.
[04:49] Boy Mosuke
    Yeah, right.
[04:49] Boy Mosuke
    Keep it up, and you'll go to Hell for it.
[04:53] Boy Yoroku
    You can't call yourself a warrior
     and be afraid of Hell.
[04:56] Boy Yoroku
    And if I wind up there,
    I'll just have to behead the king of Hell!
[04:58] Boy Mosuke
    Huh?
[05:03] Mosuke
    That's what he said...
    That brat was out of control.
[05:07] Mosuke
    What was his name...
[05:09] Kanetsugu
    It was Yoroku.
[05:10] Mosuke
    Right, right! Yoroku!

    The brat's name was Yoroku!
[05:15] Mosuke

[05:16] Mosuke
    Wasn't Yoroku...
[05:18] Kanetsugu
    That was me.
[05:20] Kanetsugu
    You're talking about me.
[05:22] Mosuke
    What?!
[05:29] Mosuke
    You and I've known each other since then?
[05:33] Kanetsugu
    So what?
[05:34] Kanetsugu
    I've always known that
    was you from way back then.
[05:37] Mosuke
    No way.
[05:40] Mosuke
    Whoops?
[05:44] Boy
    May I receive merit.
[05:45] Boy
    May I receive merit.

    What was that all about?
[06:12] Yoshitsugu VO
    You...
[06:14] Yoshitsugu
    What was your wish for?
[06:16] Yoshitsugu
    Was it for food?
[06:18] Yoshitsugu

[06:20] Boy
    No.
[06:21] Boy
    My mother's sick
    and has become blind.
[06:25] Boy
    I feel sorry for her.
[06:28] Boy
    So I wished for her to be cured.
[06:30] Boy
    So she can see again.
[06:34] Yoshitsugu
    I see.
[06:37] Boy
    Mister...
[06:40] Boy
    Mister, are you blind, too?
[06:43] Boy
    Want me to make a wish for you, too, Mister?
[06:45] Yoshitsugu
    I just have a wart on my eye. That's all.
[06:49] Boy
    Oh...
[06:50] Yoshitsugu
    But you are very kind.
[06:54] Yoshitsugu
    You think of others instead of yourself.
[06:58] Yoshitsugu
    You possess the heart of benevolence.
[07:01] Boy
    Benevolence?
[07:04] Yoshitsugu
    Kannon-sama, must have brought us together.
[07:08] Yoshitsugu
    If you ever get the chance,
[07:11] Yoshitsugu
    bring this coat with you,
    and come visit me at Tsuruga Castle.
[07:15] Boy
    Who are you, Mister?
[07:17] Yoshitsugu
    Just ask for the man
    with the wart on his eye.
[07:20] Boy
    I will.
[07:21] Boy
    Thanks!
[07:38] Kanetsugu
    My name is Naoe Kanetsugu.
[07:44] Kanetsugu
    I saw your family crest,
    the butterflies of Tsuruga Castle.
[07:47] Kanetsugu
    Do you work with Magistrate Toyotomi?
[07:50] Yoshitsugu
    I am the Justice Minister,

SIGN    Otani Yoshitsugu
[07:54] Nar
    In that very same year,
[07:57] Nar
    Otani Yoshitsugu had become
    the lord of Tsuruga Castle.
[08:02] Nar
    He received a stipend of 500 koku.
[08:05] Nar
    Along with Ishida Mitsunari,
    he was Hideyoshi's beloved retainer.
[08:08] Nar
    Although young,
[08:09] Nar
    he was placed in charge
    of the Toyotomi government's
[08:12] Nar
    important magistrate duties.
[08:14] Kanetsugu
    But what are you doing at a place like this?
[08:18] Yoshitsugu
    I was...
[08:21] Yoshitsugu
    waiting for you to arrive.
[08:25] Yoshitsugu
    I went to Uesugi's residence first,
    but you had already left.
[08:31] Yoshitsugu
    And that's where I was told...
[08:34] Yoshitsugu
    that before a battle, Naoe-dono always
[08:37] Yoshitsugu
    visits his boyhood temple of Unto-an.
[08:42] Kanetsugu
    So you rode your horse
    all the way here, just to see me...
[08:46] Kanetsugu
    but for someone of your rank to come
    see me, there must be official business.
[08:51] Yoshitsugu
    It concerns Odawara.
SIGN    Odawara Castle
[08:58] Nar
    Fourth generation lord
    of the Hojo clan, Ujimasa.
SIGN    Ujimasa
[09:03] Nar
    Fifth generation lord, Ujinao ...
SIGN    Ujinao
[09:07] Nar
    and Ujinao's uncle, Ujinori.
SIGN    Ujinori
[09:11] Nar
    Ujinori once lived with Tokugawa Ieyasu,
     a fellow hostage, at Imagawa.
[09:20] Nar
    Because he was a superior diplomat,
[09:23] Nar
    he had an objective and clear
    understanding of Toyotomi's abilities.
[09:27] Nar
    This is how it all began.
[09:32] Nar
    Hojo led a minor skirmish
    against the territory of the Sanada clan.
[09:38] Nar
    Due to Hideyoshi's mediation,
    the battle was stalled.
[09:43] Nar
    Shortly thereafter,
    Hojo invaded Nagurumi Castle.
SIGN    Nagurumi Castle
[09:49] Nar
    This was in violation of the edict forbidding
[09:53] Nar
    personal infighting among the daimyos.
[09:55] Nar
    As such, Hideyoshi decided
    to attack Odawara Castle.
[10:00] Nar
    And...
[10:02] Ujinori
    Why?!
[10:04] Ujinori
    Why did you attack
    Sanada's Nagurumi Castle?
[10:07] Ujinao
    Because I wanted all their rice fields.
[10:11] Ujinori
    Idiocy!
[10:13] Ujinori
    Both of you were supposed
    to go to the capital,
[10:15] Ujinori
    and render your service
    to Hideyoshi as vassals!
[10:17] Ujinori
    That was the condition
    of Hideyoshi's promise:
[10:20] Ujinori
    to persuade Sanada to hand over
    their rice fields to Hojo.
[10:22] Ujinori VO
    He promised to leave
    Nagurumi Castle untouched,
[10:25] Ujinori VO
    because it stands on
    Sanada's ancestral land!
[10:29] Ujinori
    That's why Sanada was going to comply!
[10:32] Ujinori
    But look what you've done!
[10:35] Ujinori
    It's because of this that Hideyoshi will...
[10:37] Ujimasa VO
    Huh?
[10:39] Ujimasa
    Huh?
[10:41] Ujimasa
    Ujinori.
[10:42] Ujimasa
    Hey, Ujinori.
[10:44] Ujimasa
    Don't worry about it.
[10:47] Ujimasa
    We are fully prepared.
[10:51] Ujimasa
    Our Odawara Castle is protected
    by many solid fortresses.
[10:58] Ujimasa VO
    Even if Hideyoshi storms us
    with 50,000 or even 100,000 troops...
[11:05] Ujimasa
    our castle will never be overtaken.
[11:08] Ujimasa
    Remember Kenshin?
[11:11] Ujimasa
    Even he had to retreat
    with his tail between his legs.
[11:15] Ujinori
    But Hideyoshi is...
[11:19] Ujimasa
    Ujinori.
[11:21] Ujimasa
    You worry too much.
[11:26] Ujinao
    Uncle, you're more cowardly than I thought.
[11:56] Yoshitsugu
    Naoe-dono.
[11:59] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[12:00] Yoshitsugu
    Depending on Uesugi's move,
    this next battle could shake the nation.
[12:08] Yoshitsugu
    Which is why...
[12:10] Yoshitsugu
    I want to know Uesugi's
    position on the matter.
[12:15] Kanetsugu
    Our... position?
[12:17] Yoshitsugu
    Indeed.
[12:18] Yoshitsugu
    The Senior Regent intends to subjugate
    Hojo with an army of unprecedented size.
[12:26] Yoshitsugu (back turned)
    However, even with a large
    army of the finest troops,
[12:30] Yoshitsugu (back turned)
    Odawara is unaccustomed
    to the battlefield...
[12:33] Yoshitsugu
    In order to attack the Kanto area,
[12:36] Yoshitsugu
    we need the aid of Tokugawa and Uesugi
[12:40] Yoshitsugu
    and Date of Oshu who know the terrain.
[12:43] Yoshitsugu
    But we have not heard back from Date,
     if he'll agree to battle.
[12:49] Yoshitsugu
    If worse comes to worse,
[12:52] Yoshitsugu
    we must ask Lord Uesugi
    to confront both Hojo and Date.
[12:59] Kanetsugu
    In other words...
[13:01] Nar
    Kanetsugu understood Otani's implication.
[13:07] Nar
    In other words, if Date
    would not agree to battle...
[13:10] Nar
    and if Uesugi also decided to revolt,
[13:15] Nar
    a major civil war could break
    out between east and west,
[13:20] Nar
    against Uesugi first, then Hojo, and Date.
[13:24] Nar
    And because the battle would
    take place in the Kanto area,
[13:28] Nar
    his army would be at a disadvantage.
[13:31] Nar
    Due to these circumstances,
[13:32] Nar
    the impending situation could hinder
    Hideyoshi's plan for national unification.
[13:37] Nar
    Therefore, depending on his answer,
[13:38] Nar
    Uesugi might well be considered an enemy...
[13:43] Nar
    This was the implication.
[13:56] Kanetsugu
    Otani-dono.
[13:58] Kanetsugu
    Your eye...
[14:05] Kanetsugu VO
    A sword wound.
[14:07] Kanetsugu
    A fresh wound.
[14:11] Yoshitsugu
    Naoe-dono.
[14:12] Yoshitsugu
    I ask you again.
[14:14] Yoshitsugu
    And I implore you to speak truthfully.
[14:19] Yoshitsugu
    My right eye only sees
    outward appearances...
[14:25] Yoshitsugu
    but my left eye can see
    into the depth of your soul.
[14:35] Keiji VO
    Well...
[14:36] Keiji (back turned)
    the eye that sees into the depth of the soul.
[14:42] Kanetsugu
    Everything was explained
    in the letter from Mitsunari-dono.
[14:46] Mitsunari VO
    Yoshitsugu will probably
    hesitate to tell you himself
[14:50] Mitsunari VO
    about what happened to his eye ...
[14:53] Mitsunari VO
    but he and I are on a first-name basis:
    Heima and Sakichi.
[15:00] Mitsunari VO
    There are no secrets between us,
    just like you and I, Kanetsugu-dono.
[15:03] Mitsunari VO
    Therefore, I'll also let you know...
[15:08] Kanetsugu VO
    According to the letter, Otani-dono
[15:12] Kanetsugu
    gouged out his own left eye,
    and gave it to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
[15:18] Keiji
    To Ieyasu?
[15:20] Kanetsugu
    Before coming to see me at Echigo,
    Otani went to Sunpu,
[15:25] Kanetsugu
    to inform Lord Tokugawa
    of the orders to attack Hojo.
[15:30] Keiji
    Now that would be a vexing duty.
[15:34] Kanetsugu VO
    Yes... Ieyasu-dono was ordered by Lord
    Nobunaga to execute his own wife and son.
[15:42] Kanetsugu VO
    It was a merciless measure to protect Mikawa.
[15:48] Kanetsugu
    As if that weren't enough,
    the bastard took his daughter...
[15:53] Kanetsugu
    Lord Ieyasu's daughter, Princess Toku...
[15:56] Kanetsugu VO
    became the wife of Ujinao, the Hojo lord.
[16:05] Ieyasu
    Princess Toku... has two daughters.
[16:19] Yoshitsugu
    Tokugawa-dono.
[16:28] Ieyasu
    Ah...
[16:31] Ieyasu
    You have beautiful eyes.
[16:35] Yoshitsugu
    Pardon?
[16:37] Ieysasu
    They are your treasures.
[16:43] Ieyasu
    Treasures beyond a doubt.
[16:47] Ieyasu VO
    You...
[16:50] Ieyasu
    Could you destroy them
    with your own hands?
[16:58] Ieyasu
    I... have destroyed
    my own wife and son.
[17:15] Ieyasu
    Whose command did I obey?
[17:19] Ieyasu
    A man's?
[17:21] Ieyasu
    Heaven's?
[17:25] Ieyasu
    Or was it simply my fate?
[17:30] Yoshitsugu (back turned)
    In that case...
[17:33] Honda
    Otani-dono!
[17:41] Ieyasu
    Wh-What have you done?
[17:44] Yoshitsugu
    It is merely my eye I give you.
[17:47] Yoshitsugu
    But if I can allay your grief...
[17:50] Yoshitsugu
    even if only a little...
[17:55] Ieyasu
    Otani-dono.
[18:03] Honda (background)
    Lord!
[18:21] Yoshitsugu
    Tokugawa-dono.
[18:25] Ieyasu
    The attack on Odawara...
    how many troops are there?
[18:32] Yoshitsugu
    They will exceed 200,000.
[18:40] Ieyasu
    Hojo thinks they'll number
    50,000 or 100,000, at most.
[18:46] Ieyasu VO
    And he brags he could gather
    that many at any time.
[18:52] Ieyasu (back turned)
    However, even if he could rally them...
[18:57] Ieyasu VO
    half of them would be farmers
    and townsfolk, useless in battle.
[19:05] Ieyasu
    But you say Toyotomi will have 200,000.
[19:09] Ieyasu
    And all of them will be seasoned warriors.
[19:15] Ieyasu VO
    I am certain that would be
    beyond Hojo's expectations.
[19:22] Ieyasu
    Hojo is a simple rube.
[19:24] Ieyasu
    Therefore, his demise would be Heaven's will.
[19:29] Ieyasu
    So I now must obey Heaven's will.
[19:36] Ieyasu
    Inform your lord.
[19:39] Ieyasu
    That I, Ieyasu, will be
    at the front line to attack Hojo.
[19:47] Yoshitsugu
    Tokugawa-dono.
[19:56] Mitsunari VO
    Indeed, that Heima is such a fool.
[20:01] Mitsunari VO
    He lost his left eye for this cause...
[20:04] Mitsunari VO
    and says, "It's only for benevolence,"
     and laughs it off.
[20:10] Yoshitsugu
    Don't say it, Sakichi.
[20:14] Yoshitsugu
    Naoe-dono...
[20:17] Yoshitsugu
    Please keep this matter to yourself.
[20:21] Yoshitsugu
    If anyone finds out...
[20:24] Yoshitsugu (back turned)
    It would bring shame to Tokugawa-dono.
[20:29] Yoshitsugu
    I plan to keep this eye hidden
    and say I have a wart.
[20:41] Kanetsugu
    Now that I know
[20:43] Kanetsugu
    the kind of man you are,
    I couldn't deceive you, even if I tried.
[20:49] Kanetsugu
    Unto-an Temple's Thousand-Armed,
    Thousand-Eyed Kannon...
[20:52] Kanetsugu VO
    sees using a thousand hands
    as a thousand eyes.
[20:59] Kanetsugu
    But your left eye is sufficient for you.
[21:05] Yoshitsugu
    You mean...
[21:06] Kanetsugu
    Uesugi will come to your aid,
    with all our might.
[21:10] Yoshitsugu
    Yes!
[21:13] Keiji
    So that's Otani Yoshitsugu,
    the benevolent man.
[21:16] Kanetsugu
    He then told me...
[21:19] Kanetsugu
    of Hideyoshi Toyotomi's true fearsomeness.
[21:23] Kanetsugu VO
    Ieyasu-dono wasn't fearful
    of the 200,000 troops ...
[21:27] Kanetsugu
    He was more afraid of Toyotomi's ability
[21:29] Kanetsugu
    to effortlessly marshal great armies.
[21:33] Kanetsugu VO
    Ishida Mitsunari...
[21:35] Kanetsugu VO
    Otani Yoshitsugu...
[21:37] Kanetsugu (back turned)
    the young vassals of Toyotomi...
[21:40] Kanetsugu (back turned)
    those outstanding warriors
    earnestly cultivated by Hideyoshi himself...
[21:44] Kanetsugu
    How deeply they loved Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
[21:52] Keiji
    Yes... but when all is said and done...
[21:58] Keiji
    even in spite of the depth of their love...
[22:02] Keiji
    they lost their lives at Sekigahara.

[00:45] Nar
    which was the protective

[00:53] Nar
    However...
[00:55] Nar
    the leader of the fortress,
    Daidoji Masashige, led a strong defense.
[01:00] Nar
    The battle had both sides constantly

[01:02] Nar
    but the attackers were determined
    to seize the fortress.
[01:06] Kagekatsu
    Matsuida Castle...
[01:07] Kagekatsu
    Daidoji Masashige...
    quite an opponent.
[01:12] Kagekatsu
    Quite tough.
[01:14] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[01:16] Kanetsugu
    But we shouldn't be too forceful
    now and lose more troops...
[01:20] Kanetsugu
    Our lord, the Chief Advisor,
    is in no hurry for victory either.
[01:26] Kagekatsu
    We can't make a move until
    we completely encircle them.
[01:32] Kanetsugu
    Oshu and Date haven't joined us yet...
[01:35] Kanetsugu
    we don't have enough troops.
[01:37] Kagekatsu
    That's why we need the Chief Advisor...
[01:41] Kagekatsu
    Where could he be?
[01:44] Kanetsugu
    Reconnaissance said he's
    somewhere near Sunpu Castle.
[01:48] Kanetsugu
    He's probably there proving his
    military prowess to Tokugawa-dono...
[01:53] Kanetsugu
    No... To the whole nation.
[02:01] Kagekatsu
    He's going to offer Hojo of Odawara
    as human sacrifice for that.
[02:05] Kanetsugu
    That's just the nature of this battle.
[02:33] Honda
    Look at the number of troops!
[02:35] Ieyasu
    Hojo's foolishness was that he
    did not see the tide was turning...
[02:39] Ieyasu
    which has now given us the advantage.
[02:42] Honda
    Pardon?
[02:43] Ieyasu
    If Hojo were smart, the Chief
    Advisor might have feared him,
[02:48] Ieyasu
    and collaborated with him...
[02:51] Ieyasu
    and thus chosen the path to attack
    us with a cross-fire instead.
[02:55] Honda
    Lord...
[02:57] Ieyasu
    Look.

    Look at this massive army of troops.

    Six years ago in the battle

    Oh, this one isn't.
[07:54] Ii

    The positions could be considered good

    However, if Date, who hasn't shown up yet,

    It won't be that easy.
[08:11] Tadakatsu

[08:36] Sakakibara
    Lord.
[08:46] Ieyasu
    We mustn't underestimate their forces.
[08:52] Iesyasu
    Especially because...
[08:53] Ieyasu
    Uesugi has Naoe Kanetsugu on their side.
[08:57] Ii
    Naoe Kanetsugu?
[08:58] Tadakatsu
    Isn't he the...

    Wait for us!
[10:01] Mosuke
    You said to find you a dog and
    not give it water for a few days,
[10:06] Mosuke
    and now we're hiking mountains with that dog.
[10:08] Mosuke
    What's this all about?
[10:11] Kanetsugu
    Don't you know?
[10:12] Mosuke
    Nothing whatsoever.
[10:14] Kanetsugu
    Listen.
[10:15] Kanetsugu
    Dogs have a keen sense of smell.
[10:17] Kanetsugu
    So we're letting the dog
    find a water source for us.
[10:21] Mosuke
    A water source?
[10:22] Kanetsugu
    An aqueduct that goes to the castle.
[10:26] Kanetsugu
    We can't lay siege
[10:28] Kanetsugu
    on a mountain castle like this
    without controlling their water first.
[10:31] Kanetsugu
    No matter how formidable a fortress this is...
[10:34] Kanetsugu
    they don't stand a chance without water.
[10:39] Mosuke
    I get it now.
[10:41] Mosuke
    That's why we kept the dog thirsty.
[10:56] Kanetsugu
    Looks like he's sniffing out water.
[11:14] Mosuke

[11:52] Kanetsugu
    This thing.
[11:54] Mosuke
    Ah, that is...
[12:15] Soldier
    What is this?
[12:17] Mosuke
    How do you like these smoke bombs?
[12:29] Kanetsugu
    That'll do it, Mosuke.
[12:30] Kanetsugu
    Let's get out of here.
[12:31] Mosuke
    Yes.
[12:35] Mosuke
    Milord.
[12:37] Kanetsugu
    This castle is as good as captured now.
[12:41] Ii
    I see.
[12:43] Ii
    Naoe Kanetsugu...
[12:45] Ii
    sounds like an interesting fellow.
[12:49] Ieyasu
    If you get careless, he could
    put you in a painful situation.
[12:55] Ii
    True.
[12:56] Ii
    But...
[12:59] Ii
    According to the late Takeda,
[13:01] Ii
    he is not the son of a coal
    manager by the name of Higuchi.
[13:06] Ii
    In fact, he is said to be
    the orphaned, only son...
[13:12] Ii
    of the lifelong celibate,
    Uesugi Kenshin.
[13:17] Tadakatsu
    That can't be true.
[13:19] Sakakibara
    There you go again
    with your stories.
[13:28] Ieyasu
    That's quite an interesting story you heard...
[13:34] Keiji
    At that time...
[13:36] Keiji
    lord Ieyasu's intentions
    must have been clear.
[13:41] Keiji
    For example, remember the matter
    concerning Saito Dosan...
[13:46] Keiji
    Some time ago, Dosan staged a coup
    against his own lord, Toki Yorinari,
[13:50] Keiji
    and stole the province of Mino from him.
[13:54] Keiji
    In the end, however,
    Dosan was killed in a family dispute.
[14:02] Keiji
    Yoshitatsu, Dosan's heir at Mino,
    was actually the son of Yorinari.
[14:08] Keiji
    And...
[14:09] Keiji
    Yoshitatsu, having learned of the secret
    of his own bloodline, killed Dosan.
[14:15] Kanetsugu
    Sometimes...
[14:16] Kanegtsugu
    blood can lead to evil deeds.
[14:21] Ii
    In other words,
[14:22] Ii
    If that is a fact...
[14:25] Ii
    It will some day become the fire of karma...
[14:28] Ii
    that will burn up Uesugi.
[14:35] Ieyasu
    Hm. And when will that day be?
[14:43] Mosuke
    Matsuida Castle...
[14:46] Mosuke
    will be captured soon.
[14:49] Mosuke
    All it took was
[14:51] Mosuke
    cutting off their water supply.
[14:53] Mosuke
    It sounds all too easy.
[15:33] Kanetsugu
    Beautiful.
[15:34] Kanetsugu
    What splendid flute playing.
[15:36] Kanetsugu
    I heard it last night, too.
[15:38] Mosuke
    He's a Shugen ascetic monk,
    who's just passing by.
[15:41] Mosuke
    I heard he plays the flute to guide the dead.
[15:45] Kanetsugu
    Mosuke, you met him?
[15:49] Mosuke
    I was lured by the sounds
    of his flute last night.
[15:51] Kanetsugu
    Did you get his name?
[15:54] Mosuke
    No.
[15:55] Mosuke
    But he told me the name of his flute.
[15:57] Kanetsugu
    The name of the flute?
[15:58] Mosuke
    It's called Sea Breeze.
[16:01] Kanetsugu
    Sea Breeze.
[16:48] Kanetsugu
    You want a drink?
[16:52] Kanetsugu
    This is sake from Yanagiya of Kyoto.
[16:55] Kanetsugu
    Lord Kenshin was very fond of it.
[16:59] Kojuro
    You... are Naoe Kanetsugu, aren't you?
[17:05] Kojuro
    Who else would be eccentric
    enough to drink sake
[17:08] Kojuro
    with a strange Shugen monk...
[17:12] Kojuro
    here at this Uesugi encampment?
[17:16] Kanetsugu
    We are both strategists in battle, aren't we?
[17:18] Kanetsugu
    We can talk endlessly.
[17:22] Kojuro
    I see you already know who I am.
[17:25] Kanetsugu
    A master flautist,
    whose favorite flute is Sea Breeze...
[17:32] Kanetsugu
    You must be none other
     than Katakura Kojuro.
SIGN    Katakura Kojuro
[17:39] Mosuke
    K-Katakura Kojuro...
[17:42] Mosuke
    the strategist of the Date clan, from Oshu?
[17:48] Kanetsugu
    Why are you here?
[17:51] Kojuro
    If Date and Toyotomi were to clash in battle...
[17:55] Kojuro
    you would be the one
    in command, and no other...
[18:00] Kojuro
    Such being the case...
[18:08] Kojuro
    I thought I'd want to have a good look at you.
[18:19] Keiji
    The Flute Player Strategist,
    Katakura Kojuro, eh?
[18:23] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[18:24] Kanetsugu
    Will they side with Hojo and revolt
    against the Chief Advisor?
[18:29] Kanetsugu
    Or will they come to the aid
    of national unification?
[18:33] Kanetsugu
    The Date clan of Oshu is key
    in the subjugation of Odawara.
[18:38] Keiji
    And here comes Katakura Kojuro
    to the battlefield...
[18:42] Keiji
    What is his plan?
[18:51] Kanetsugu
    Date has not arrived on the fields yet.
[18:55] Kanetsugu
    Are they going to challenge Toyotomi?
[19:03] Kojuro
    We are still uncertain.
[19:06] Kanetsugu
    Uncertain?
[19:08] Kojuro
    It is a shameful thing,
[19:10] Kojuro
    but currently, the Date clan
    is divided with regard to Toyotomi.
[19:13] Kojuro
    One faction wants to oppose him;
    another faction wants to serve him.
[19:15] Kojuro
    The conflict is intense.
[19:18] Kanetsugu
    I have heard the rumors.
[19:22] Kojuro
    In defiance of our Chief Date Masamune,
[19:25] Kojuro
    the opposing faction is led by
    the fierce commander of the Date clan,
[19:29] Kojuro
    Date Shigezane, along with
    Lord Masamune's own brother, Kojiro-sama...
[19:34] Kojuro
    Lord Masamune is of the serving faction.
[19:37] Kojuro
    But he does not foresee
    the value in betraying Hojo,
[19:42] Kojuro
    who was his father, Terumune's friend.
[19:47] Kojuro
    However, everyone is forgetting
    the most essential point.
[19:52] Kojuro
    The Date clan knows nothing
    of Chief Advisor Hideyoshi.
[19:57] Kojuro
    They do not know who they are dealing with,
    whether he is friend or foe.
[20:00] Kojuro
    They have not seen or touched him,
[20:03] Kojuro
    yet they seek to devise
    a grand plan to move against him.
[20:05] Kojuro
    Utter foolishness!
[20:07] Kojuro
    Which means we are no different from Hojo.
[20:10] Kanetsugu
    So, did you catch a glimpse
    of the Chief Advisor in the encampment?
[20:20] Kojuro
    Yes, I did.
[20:23] Kojuro
    Like this.
[20:30] Kojuro
    Furthermore, I have found a way
    to cripple their formations.
[20:43] Kojuro
    Do you want to kill me?
[20:45] Kojuro
    I might become your enemy.
[20:48] Kanetsugu
    I...
[20:50] Kanetsugu
    see righteousness in you.
[20:53] Kojuro
    Righteousness.
[20:55] Kanetsugu
    You put your own desires
    aside for a higher purpose.
[20:59] Kanetsugu
    You are not cruel, but you are cold.
[21:02] Kanetsugu
    That is the righteousness of the strategist.
[21:05] Kanetsugu
    The righteousness of Uesugi
    is to fight with dignity,
[21:09] Kanetsugu
    even against a tactician of your caliber.
[21:13] Kojuro
    Righteousness and dignity, eh?
[21:16] Kojuro
    I think I know now what I must do.
[21:20] Kanetsugu
    We shall meet again...
[21:23] Kojuro
    perhaps as enemies...
[21:25] Kanetsugu
    perhaps as allies...
[21:26] Both
    On the battlefield.
[21:39] Nar
    Soon thereafter, Katakura Kojuro
[21:43] Nar
    dauntlessly counseled
    for the deployment to Odawara.
[21:46] Nar
    Date of Oshu departed from Aizu.
[21:50] Nar
    And in the shadows...
[21:51] Nar
    To avoid internal discord in the clan,
[21:54] Nar
    Date Masamune killed his own brother, Kojiro,
[21:57] Nar
    who was of the opposing faction.
[22:00] Nar
    He did it not out of cruelty,
[22:04] Nar
    but rather as a cold, calculated
    measure to protect his clan.

[00:02] Nar
    Matsuida Castle has fallen.
[00:08] Nar
    The fortress chief, Daido Masashige,
     defended against the month-long siege in vain.
[00:12] Nar
    He realized further resistance would
    merely waste the lives of his troops,
[00:19] Nar
    so he surrendered to the attackers, namely,
[00:23] Nar
    to the allied armies
    of Maeda, Sanada, and Uesugi.
[00:30] nar
    Their conquest devastated
[00:32] nar
    one of the essential strongholds
    guarding Odawara Castle.
[00:38] Nar
    And...
[00:39] Nar
    the news of the fallen castle
    traveled to Hojo at Odawara.
SIGN    The Red Demon of Ii
[02:21] Ujimasa
    Hmm...
[02:24] Ujimasa
    Well, no matter.
[02:26] Ujimasa
    So a castle fell. It's only Matsuida Castle.
[02:30] Ujimasa
    We've got several fortresses
    guarding Odawara Castle.
[02:37] Ujimasa
    Why should we panic?
[02:42] Ujinori
    But, my brother, if things continue this way...
[02:44] Ujimasa
    You worry too much.
[02:48] Ujimasa
    Hideyoshi's armies won't attack us.
[02:52] Ujimasa
    I don't see them anywhere.
[02:56] Ujimasa
    Right, Ujinao?
[03:00] Ujimasa
    What's the matter, Ujinao?
[03:03] Ujinao
    F-Father.
[03:06] Ujinao
    Wh-What i-is th-that?!
[03:20] Ujimasa
    What the...
[03:23] Ujimasa
    What the hell?!
[03:26] Ujimasa
    This is a battlefield!
[03:51] Ujinori
    I heard that they brought
    prostitutes here from the capital.
[03:55] Ujinori
    Not only that, but I heard Hideyoshi
    also invited his concubines.
[03:58] Ujimasa
    Concubines?
[04:01] Ujinao
    Also?
[04:05] Ujimasa
    Damn you, Hideyoshi!
[04:07] Ujimasa
    How dare you make a circus of this war?!
[04:16] Hideyoshi
    That Hojo must be fuming right now.
[04:20] Hideyoshi
    But the fun has yet to begin...
[04:23] Hideyoshi
    I am going to take my sweet time...
[04:25] Hideyoshi
    and drive you into a corner.
[04:30] Hideyoshi
    And now for the next move.
[04:39] Kagekatsu
    The Chief Advisor is persistent
    about attacking the fortresses.
[04:42] Kagekatsu
    He's now urging us
    to bring down Hachioji Castle.
[04:46] Kanetsugu
    Hojo knows that fortresses don't fall easily.
[04:50] Kanetsugu
    That's why he opted
    to fight from the castles.
[04:52] Kanetsugu
    If his fortresses are
    besieged one at a time,
[04:55] Kanetsugu
    he will gradually
    become demoralized.
[05:00] Kagekatsu
    I see.
[05:02] Kagekatsu
    Out of all the fortresses,
[05:04] Kagekatsu
    Hachioji Castle is definitely
    the cornerstone of Kanto.
[05:06] Kagekatsu
    If it falls, it will have a great impact
    on the morale of Hojo's forces.
SIGN    Odawara Castle
[05:11] Kanetsugu
    But not even Lord Kenshin was able
    to conquer this Odawara Castle.
[05:16] Kanetsugu
    It's a giant, impregnable fortress.
[05:19] Kagekatsu
    Hmm...
[05:20] Kanetsugu
    The Chief Advisor knows this,
    which is why he wants to bring it down.
[05:26] Kagekatsu
    If it were to happen,
[05:28] Kagekatsu
    both our armies will sustain
    considerable casualties.
[05:32] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[05:42] Kanetsugu
    How does the Chief Advisor
    perceive this battle?
[05:52] Kagekatsu
    Just as you perceive it.
[05:56] Kanetsugu
    Lord...
[06:02] Ii
    The reason for my visit...
[06:04] Ii
    concerns the bloodline of Naoe Kanetsugu.
[06:07] Hanzo
    Indeed.
[06:10] Ii
    Hattori-dono, you'd do this for us?
[06:14] Ii
    It seems things are going to get bloody.
[06:18] Hanzo
    That...
[06:21] Hanzo
    is my duty.
[06:31] Hanzo
    According to what I hear,
[06:33] Hanzo
    Naoe Kanetsugu is the orphaned
    son of Uesugi Kenshin.
[06:42] Ii
    Sagen.
[06:42] Ii
    Don't be shy.
    Tell them what you know.
[06:54] Sagen
    So be it.
[06:56] Sagen
    Twenty-nine years ago, in 1561...
[07:01] Sagen
    Lord Uesugi Kenshin commanded
    a sculptor from Shukuin of Nara
[07:05] Sagen
    to sculpt Jizo Bodhisattva.
[07:08] Sagen
    But this statue of Jizo
    Bodhisattva was an odd one.
[07:13] Ieyasu
    Odd?
[07:14] Sagen
    Lord.
[07:16] Sagen
    Have you heard of "gem eyes"?
[07:18] Ieyasu
    What is that?
[07:20] Sagen
    Eyes are drawn in detail
    on the back of polished crystals.
[07:26] Sagen
    When inserted into the sockets of the statue...
[07:28] Sagen
    it is said they resemble real eyes.
[07:34] Ieyasu
    And?
[07:35] Sagen
    Lord Kenshin gave the sculptor
    an illustration in ink,
[07:38] Sagen
    which was a detailed copy
    of a particular design.
[07:43] Sculptor
    What is this?
[07:45] Kenshin
    They are the eyes of my son.
[07:47] Kenshin
    I drew them.
[07:50] Kenshin
    Make these eyes the gem eyes
    of the Bodhisattva's statue.
[07:55] Sculptor
    If I may ask why?
[08:01] Kenshin
    My son's mother died giving birth to him.
[08:06] Kenshin
    Thus...
[08:08] Kenshin
    I want to bring the Bodhisattva
    who bears my son's eyes,
[08:11] Kenshin
    to be present at her memorial tablet.
[08:15] Ieyasu
    Hmm... I would not have
    expected this of Lord Kenshin.
[08:21] Ii
    But there's more.
[08:23] Sagen
    The ink illustration was deposited
    into the body of the Bodhisattva's statue.
[08:27] Sagen
    "My son shall come. Masatora."
[08:30] Sagen
    That is what was written
    with the illustration,
[08:32] Sagen
    in the unmistakable
    handwriting of Lord Kenshin.
[08:36] Ieyasu
    Hmm... "Masatora"...
[08:39] Ieyasu
    Indeed. That was Lord Kenshin's
    name twenty-nine years ago.
[08:44] Hanzo
    But how did you acquire this information?
[08:48] Ii
    He was one of Takeda's Mitsumono.
[08:52] Nar
    The Mitsumono was a Ninja-spy
    group organized by Takeda Shingen.
[09:00] Nar
    They were Shingen's reconnaissance network,
    which was spread nationwide.
[09:07] Sagen
    The investigation was
    commanded by Lord Shingen.
[09:13] Hanzo
    Hmm.
[09:14] Ieyasu
    However, how does this
    tie in with Kanetsugu?
[09:20] Sagen
    There is an ancient technique for
    identifying persons using ocular patterns.
[09:26] Ieyasu
    Ocular patterns?
[09:28] Sagen
    Because each one is respectively unique.
[09:32] Sagen
    No two are the same.
[09:34] Sagen
    And the pattern never changes
    throughout one's lifetime.
[09:37] Ii
    Furthermore, it's said
    there are several unusual,
[09:42] Ii
    star-shaped black marks
    on the Bodhisattva's eyes.
[09:58] Ieyasu
    I see.
[10:00] Ieyasu
    So if Naoe Kanetsugu has
    those black marks in his eyes...
[10:06] Ieyasu
    this Jizo Bodhisattva will be proof
    that Kanetsugu is Lord Kenshin's son.
[10:16] Sagen
    Yes.
[10:17] Ieyasu
    Then you must bring me
    this Jizo Bodhisattva.
[10:23] Ieyasu
    It would be an invaluable tool
    to effortlessly defeat Uesugi.
[10:28] Ieyasu
    Put your life on the line,
[10:29] Ieyasu
    and get it at all costs.
[10:35] Honda
    Oh?
[10:36] Honda
    Ii-dono took off to go
    see Naoe's black marks?
[10:41] Ieyasu
    Right.
[10:43] Ieyasu
    Does Naoe, indeed,
    have the alleged black marks?
[10:48] Ieyasu
    Ii said looking for the Bodhisattva statue
[10:50] Ieyasu
    would be pointless if he didn't have them.
[10:53] Honda
    I heard Naoe is headed
    to reconnoiter Hachioji Castle.
[10:57] Honda
    Ii-dono is going to him in person?
[11:01] Ieyasu
    He said he wants to meet him.
[11:07] Honda
    As far as I know, Naoe and
    Ii-dono are a year apart in age.
[11:11] Honda
    And yet, Naoe is
    the military leader of Uesugi,
[11:14] Honda
    as well as the Chief Retainer.
[11:15] Ieyasu
    It seems Ii has found himself a rival.
[11:28] Mosuke
    What's this?
[11:29] Peanut Gallery1
    Hey, come on.
[11:31] Peanut Gallery1
    There's no way.
[11:32] Peanut Gallery2
    He's no competition.
[11:33] Mosuke
    What? What? What's going on?
[11:37] Bruiser McDuff
    Why, you twerp!
[11:44] Mosuke
    What's this all about?
[11:46] Lavender Robe Gawker
    It's a vendetta.
[11:47] Mosuke
    What?
[11:48] Lavender Robe Gawker
    That samurai refused to pay for booze,
    and then he killed the store owner.
[11:53] Gawker2
    The kid is the store owner's son.
[11:57] Gawker3
    He's going to get himself killed.
[12:01] Bruiser McDuff
    The booze was lousy.
[12:07] Bruiser McDuff
    Yet he dared to demand payment for it.
[12:12] Bruiser McDuff
    And who are you?
[12:18] Kanetsugu
    I've come to the kid's aid.
[12:25] Bruiser McDuff
    Whoever you are, you must be drunk!
[12:36] Bruiser McDuff
    Can't you see my red-lacquered spear?
[12:41] Bruiser McDuff
    I am of Koshu's Takeda's army,
    the famed Red Armor Army. My name is...
[13:17] Ii
    Buffoon. How dare you feign
    being a Takeda retainer?!
[13:22] Nar
    It was no surprise that
    Naomasa would be angered.
[13:26] Nar
    Because it was Ii Naomasa
    himself who continued
[13:29] Nar
    the succession of the Red Armor
    Army in the Tokugawa clan,
[13:32] Nar
    which was known to have been
    the most powerful in the civil war times.
[13:37] nar
    He had employed Shimosaka Sagen and many
    other vassals after the death of Takeda.
[13:50] Kanetsugu
    Your courage is splendid.
[13:51] Kanetsugu
    You challenged a grown-up
    and stood your ground.
[13:56] Kanetsugu
    If there's anything I can do for you...
[13:58] Ii
    Hey! Wait a second!
[14:01] Ii
    I'm the one who came to his aid.
[14:04] Ii
    You're stealing my lines!
[14:09] Ii
    Hey, kid.
[14:11] Ii
    You were splendid.
[14:13] Ii
    If there's anything I can
    do for you, just ask.
[14:16] Boy
    U-Umm... Who are you, Mister Samurai?
[14:19] Ii
    Now listen carefully.
[14:23] Ii
    My name... is... Ii Naomasa.
[14:27] Boy
    Yes.
[14:28] Boy
    Thank you very much.
[14:30] Ii
    Mmm... Hmm.
[14:33] Ii
    Hey. Now it's your turn.
[14:36] Kanetsugu
    My name is Naoe Kanetsugu.
[14:40] Ii
    Wh-What?
[14:42] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[14:43] Ii
    The premier of Uesugi, that's you?
[14:47] Kanetsugu
    And you are Ii Naomasa-dono,
    one of the Three Heroes of Tokugawa.
[14:54] Kanetsugu
    A fine coincidence that I get to meet you.
[14:56] Ii
    O-Oh, yeah.
[14:58] Ii
    How does it get more
    coincidental than that?
[15:03] Ii
    In that case, a drink.
[15:04] Ii
    Let's toast to our encounter.
[15:08] Kanetsugu
    I have no reason to refuse.
[15:10] Ii
    Good!
[15:13] Ii
    How convenient.
[15:15] Ii
    I'll get him smashed drunk,
    and check for the black marks in his eyes.
[15:20] Keiji
    Come to think of it.
[15:22] Keiji
    Perhaps that event marked the beginning
     of your big fight with Lord Ieyasu.
[15:28] Kanetsugu
    Lord Ieyasu revered
    and feared Lord Kenshin.
[15:35] Kanetsugu
    Hence the fight.
[15:38] Keiji
    The Tokugawa clan feared the blood
    of Lord Kenshin that runs in your veins.
[15:46] Kanetsugu
    Ii Naomasa-dono was desperate, too.
[15:49] Keiji
    When he got excited,
    his face would quickly turn red...
[15:54] Keiji
    They aptly called him
    "Ii, the Red Demon."
[16:03] Kanetsugu
    I'll never forget
    the look on Ii-dono's face.
[16:24] Ii
    This guy... Hasn't he had enough to drink?
[16:33] Mosuke
    Umm... Milord.
[16:35] mosuke
    Are you all right?
[16:36] Ii
    Nothing I can't handle.
[16:40] Mosuke
    In that case, here.
[16:41] Ii
    W-W-Wait.
[16:42] Ii
    Hey.
[16:45] Mosuke
    There.
[16:46] Mosuke
    Enjoy.
[16:50] Mosuke
    Bottoms up.
[17:01] Kanetsugu
    Pour me another one.
[17:02] Mosuke
    Yes, right away.
[17:06] Mosuke
    Enjoy.
[17:10] Ii
    You... How much more
    are you going to drink?
[17:15] Kanetsugu
    I'm from Echigo.
[17:17] Kanetsugu
    When it comes to wine,
    I'm a bottomless pit.
[17:20] Ii
    Y-Yeah, but still...
[17:28] Ii
    No... This is my chance.
[17:32] Ii
    Those black marks...
[17:35] Kanetsugu
    Hmm?
[17:36] Kanetsugu
    What's the matter?
[17:38] Kanetsugu
    Is there something on my face?
[17:41] Ii
    Oh, umm... It's nothing.
[17:44] Kanetsugu
    I've been noticing our eyes
    meeting here and there.
[17:48] Kanetsugu
    Is it just my imagination?
[17:49] Ii
    Huh?
[17:50] Ii
    Is that so?
[17:51] Ii
    Eyes?
[17:52] Ii
    Eyes?
[17:53] Kanetsugu
    Is something wrong with my eyes?
[17:55] Ii
    N-No. Nothing in particular.
[18:01] Ii
    This is getting awkward.
[18:02] Ii
    I must hurry and confirm
    the black marks in his eyes...
[18:07] Kanetsugu
    Here.
[18:09] Ii
    N-No. It's nothing. It's nothing.
[18:13] Ii
    You're the one who said it,
    so now I'm curious.
[18:17] Ii
    How am I going to do this?
[18:23] Kanetsugu
    Come on. Drink. Drink.
[18:27] Ii
    You gotta be kidding!
[18:28] Ii
    I'm gonna pass out!
[18:30] Kanetsugu
    There's more, more, more!
[18:33] Ii
    I can't have any more.
[18:34] Ii
    I'm telling you! I can't!
[18:39] Waitress
    Thank you for waiting.
[18:44] Kanetsugu
    You spilled, Ii-dono.
[18:55] Kanetsugu
    Are you all right, Ii-dono?
[18:56] Mosuke
    You're one to talk, Milord.
[18:59] Kanetsugu
    Ii-dono.
[19:02] Kanetsugu
    Ii...
[19:11] Ii
    I see them.
[19:12] Ii
    So he is Lord Kenshin's offspring.
[19:26] Jirobo
    This guy... Does he know of your secret?
[19:30] Kanetsugu
    Do not do what is unrighteous.
[19:33] Jirobo
    But...
[19:36] Kanetsugu
    Lord Kenshin would have let him be.
[19:55] Ii
    H-How did I get here?
[20:00] Sagen
    Looks like you had too much to drink.
[20:07] Ii
    How did I return here?
[20:09] Sagen
    You did not return.
[20:11] Ii
    Huh?
[20:12] Sagen
    Eihei said a famous warrior
    delivered you here.
[20:18] Ii
    Ouch...
[20:20] Sagen
    What happened?
[20:22] Ii
    I went on a drinking spree with him.
[20:26] Sagen
    Oh?
[20:27] Sagen
    Someone you know?
[20:31] Ii
    It was... Naoe Kanetsugu.
[20:34] Sagen
    Wh-What?
[20:35] Ii
    I ran into him quite by accident.
[20:38] Sagen
    A-And did you see his eyes?
[20:42] Ii
    The marks were there.
[20:45] Ii
    But on second thought,
[20:49] Ii
    we have no clue as to the
    whereabouts of the Bodhisattva statue.
[20:53] Ii
    What to do?
[20:55] Sagen
    Concerning that...
[20:56] Ii
    Huh?
[20:57] Ii
    Do you have a plan?
[20:59] Sagen
    Who was Kanetsugu's mother?
[21:03] Sagen
    Whose memorial tablet
    is the statue with?
[21:06] Sagen
    Indeed, even we do not know...
[21:10] Sagen
    However, that Jizo
    Bodhisattva statue was the
[21:13] Sagen
    work of the sculptor
    Genji of Nara's Shukuin.
[21:16] Ii
    Is Genji still alive?
[21:19] Sagen
    No, he has departed.
[21:23] Sagen
    But his children, grandchildren,
    and relatives are still alive in Nara's Shukuin.
[21:28] Ii
    I see.
[21:30] Sagen
    Furthermore, Genji was a famed master.
[21:35] Sagen
    Everyone in the world of his
    craft would know of him.
[21:38] Sagen
    A seasoned artist would know
    his style and spot his statue.
[21:40] Ii
    And...?
[21:42] Sagen
    So it is possible...
[21:46] Sagen
    that there are those
    with the knowledge to help us.
[21:49] Ii
    Oh... Oh... Oh!
[21:53] Sagen
    What is the matter?
[21:55] Sagen
    Are you still drunk?
[21:57] Sagen
    Your face is bright red!
[21:59] Sagen
    I can almost feel the heat.
[22:01] Ii
    I am Ii, the Red Demon!
[22:04] Ii
    This is proof that I am sober!

[00:04] Ii
    I see them.
[00:06] Ii
    So he is Lord Kenshin's offspring.
[00:10] Hanzo
    Then if we acquire the Jizo Bodhisattva
    with black marks on the eyes...
[00:16] Hanzo
    internal strife of the Uesugi
    clan would be guaranteed.
[00:21] Ii
    That about sums it up.
[00:26] Hanzo
    However, where is that
    Bodhisattva statue?
[00:30] Sagen
    For us to find out where it is...
[00:32] Sagen
    we must trace steps from
    the sculptor of Nara's Shukuin.
[00:39] Hanzo
    I see...
[00:43] Hanzo
    Regarding this matter...
[00:44] Hanzo
    who else in the Ii clan knows about it?
[00:48] Ii
    Just me and Shimosaka Sagen here.
[00:52] Hanzo
    I see...
[00:55] Hanzo
    In that case...
[00:59] Hanzo
    The left hand...
[01:07] Ii
    Sagen... You have a left hand!
[01:11] Hanzo
    You...
[01:13] Hanzo
    So you've endured by pretending
    to have only one arm,
[01:16] Hanzo
    for emergencies such as this.
[01:19] Sagen
    I am Takeda's Mitsumono, after all.
[01:25] Hanzo
    How dutiful of you.
[01:28] Hanzo
    I'm impressed.
[01:29] Hanzo
    Take my men with you to Nara.
[01:32] Hanzo
    I will put you in charge of the investigation.
[01:37] Sagen
    Lord, are you fine with this?
[01:45] Ii
    I'm fine with it.
[01:54] Sagen
    Very well. My wizened body...
[01:58] Sagen
    will finally be put to use.
SIGN    The Death Robe of Date
[03:37] Kanetsugu
    I heard Takeda Shingen got word
    about the Jizo Bodhisattva.
[03:41] Kanetsugu
    He's been sniffing around for it.
[03:44] Kanetsugu
    Until just recently...
[03:46] Keiji
    With Ii Naomasa, the successor
    of Takeda's Red Armor Army,
[03:50] Keiji
    and Shimosaka Sagen,
    one of Takeda's Mitsumono...
[03:54] Keiji
    Odawara was brimming with interesting men.
[03:58] Kanetsugu
    And there's the one,
[04:01] Kanetsugu
    most exceptional man of them all.
[04:05] Keiji
    That would be...
[04:06] Keiji
    the man from Oshu.

[04:41] Nar
    he was punished by confinement at Hakone Sokokura.
[04:46] Toshiie
    That young upstart, Date.
[04:48] Toshiie
    I have better things to do.
[04:50] Nar
    Furthermore, Maeda Toshiie
    had been dispatched
[04:53] Nar
    to interrogate him
    concerning the delinquency.
[04:57] Toshiie
    He'll commit seppuku!
[04:58] Toshiie
    Seppuku!
[04:59] Toshiie
    Seppuku, seppuku!
[05:23] Nar
    Kanetsugu,
[05:24] Nar
    having been repeatedly pressed by Hideyoshi
[05:27] Nar
    to hastily bring down Hachioji Castle,
[05:31] Nar
    came to visit Hideyoshi
[05:34] Nar
    on the pretext of making
    a reconnaissance report.
[05:37] Hideyoshi
    What do you think of this
    castle, Kanetsugu?
[05:40] Kanetsugu
    Pardon?
[05:41] Hideyoshi
    Look forward to it.
[05:43] Hideyoshi
    This will be the castle that
    will bring down Odawara Castle.
[05:45] Hideyoshi
    You could say it's my strategic masterpiece!
[05:48] Hideyoshi
    And when it goes down,
    I'll invite you to come see it.
[05:52] Hideyoshi
    So hurry up and bring down Hachioji Castle.
[05:59] Hideyoshi
    What's the matter with you, Kanetsugu?
    You look so glum.
[06:04] Kanetsugu
    My lord...
[06:06] Hideyoshi
    I see. You're worried about that Date kid.
[06:09] Kanetsugu
    That is not it.
[06:11] Kanetsugu
    I am concerned about
    when Maeda Toshiie-dono
[06:12] Kanetsugu
    will be returning to the battlefield
     from his interrogation of Date-dono.
[06:18] Hideyoshi
    Uesugi is strong enough,
[06:20] Hideyoshi
    so it wouldn't make a difference
    if Toshiie were missing.
[06:22] Hideyoshi
    Wouldn't you say?
[06:24] Hideyoshi
    However, Date ignored my commands.
[06:28] Hideyoshi
    He'd better be prepared for the consequences.
[06:33] Hideyoshi
    What's the matter?
[06:34] Hideyoshi
    Will Uesugi take this as
    an opportunity to attack Oshu?
[06:39] Kanetsugu
    No.
[06:39] Kanetsugu
    But there is one man I would miss,
    if I were never to see him again.
[07:09] General
    Katakura-sama.
[07:11] General
    You have a visitor.
[07:12] Kojuro
    Who is it?
[07:13] General
    It is Naoe Kanetsugu-dono.
[07:18] Kojuro
    Well...
[07:20] Kojuro
    perhaps I should treat him to a bath.
[07:22] Nar
    In those days, the greatest show of
    hospitality to guests was to draw them a bath.
[07:29] Nar
    And they are in Hakone,
[07:32] Nar
    so a bath would be a perfectly fitting treat.
[07:38] Kanetsugu
    What a fine bath.
[07:40] Kanetsugu
    I'd expect no less from Hakone.
[07:44] Kanetsugu
    But it's been troublesome...
[07:47] Kanetsugu
    putting up with the Chief Advisor's moods.
[07:50] Kojuro
    He's still the same.
[07:52] Kanetsugu
    Perhaps it was impertinent of me,
[07:54] Kanetsugu
    but I went to see how his lordship was doing.
[07:58] Kojuro
    Were things as you had expected?
[08:01] Kanetsugu
    How unusual.
[08:03] Kojuro
    Hm?
[08:04] Kanetsugu
    To see a strategist of your
    caliber look so puzzled.
[08:09] Kojuro
    Our lord Masamune's intentions
    are blatantly obvious.
[08:13] Kojuro
    So I have no excuses.
[08:16] Kanetsugu
    His intentions?
[08:17] Voice
    I'm coming in.
[08:18] Kanetsugu
    Huh?
[08:32] Kojuro
    Lord.
[08:38] Kanetsugu
    You must be Date Masamune-dono.
SIGN    Date Masamune
[08:59] Masamune
    You're big.
[09:01] Masamune
    Are you Naoe?
[09:02] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[09:04] Masamune
    I have heard about you.
[09:06] Masamune
    I have come to see your face.
[09:07] Kanetsugu
    We are gladdened by
    your army's participation.
[09:11] Masamune
    It's nothing.
[09:12] Masamune
    The Chief Advisor stubbornly
    insisted we go, so we went.
[09:24] Masamune
    This is heaven.
[09:26] Masamune
    How thoughtful of the Chief Advisor...
[09:29] Masumune
    for letting us enjoy this luxurious bath.
[09:35] Masumune
    Hey, Naoe.
[09:38] Masumune
    People say I resemble Lord Oda Nobunaga.
[09:43] Masamune
    If only I had been born earlier.
[09:52] Masamune
    But...
[09:54] Masamune
    that's not how it is!
[10:04] Masamune
    I am younger than anyone.
[10:06] Masamune
    Geezers are ready for the grave.
[10:12] Masamune
    Hence...
[10:18] Masamune
    I will eventually be ruler.
[10:30] Kanetsugu
    Interesting.
[10:31] Kojuro
    He behaved no differently with the interrogator,
     saying whatever he pleased.
[10:35] Kojuro
    Indeed, our lord is just a child.
[10:39] Kojuro
    A big child.
[10:41] Kojuro
    That is why he has no guile.
[10:43] Kojuro
    He has no devious ploy
    to conquer the nation.
[10:48] Kojuro
    And that is also why
    he is the most trustworthy.
[10:51] Kojuro
    I wonder what the interrogator
    relayed to the Chief Advisor about him.
[10:55] Kanetsugu
    Even if he relayed nothing,
[10:56] Kanetsugu
    there's a man by the Chief
    Advisor's side who could infer it all.
[11:01] Kojuro
    Who?
[11:02] Kanetsugu
    Sen-no Rikyu.
[11:05] Kojuro
    The greatest tea ceremony
    master in the world?
[11:08] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[11:09] Kanetsugu
    It's Rikyu-dono's perspectives...
[11:11] Kanetsugu
    which the Chief Advisor trusts,
    more than anyone else's.
[11:15] Kojuro
    But even his tea could
    become a deadly poison.
[11:27] Kanetsugu
    He's already dead, anyway.
[11:47] Kanetsugu
    Kojuro-dono.
[11:50] Kanetsugu
    Can you hold that moon in your hands?
[11:56] Kojuro
    It would be as impossible as telling
    my lord to keep his intentions hidden.
[12:04] Kanetsugu
    You think so?
[12:13] Kojuro
    Th-That's...
[12:16] Kanetsugu
    Strategists must never give up in battle.
[12:28] Kojuro
    My lord.
[12:30] Masamune
    Could the rumor be true?
[12:34] Kojuro
    That Naoe-dono is the actual
    son of Lord Kenshin?
[12:39] Masamune
    Because the more I observe Naoe...
[12:43] Masamune
    the more the rumor strikes me as true.
[12:46] Kojuro
    If it were true, he would be a big deal.
[12:51] Masamune
    Hm?
[12:52] Kojuro
    Lord.
[12:53] Kojuro
    Would you be able to keep the fact hidden,
[12:55] Kojuro
    that you are Date's heir,
[12:57] Kojuro
    of Oshu's local commissioner,
    and become my vassal?
[13:01] Kojuro
    Would you be able to die
    for me, as my vassal?
[13:06] Masamune
    Hmm...
[13:07] Kojuro
    He is so wild at heart,
    even the world is too small for him.
[13:13] Kojuro
    But he lives from day to day,
    while hiding his true nature.
[13:18] Kojuro
    He lives only for the sake of righteousness.
[13:22] Masamune
    So that's how Naoe Kanetsugu is.
[13:30] Masamune
    Then there is only one path
    for me to take, Kojuro.
[13:36] Kojuro
    Yes.
[13:48] Masamune
    Well...
[13:49] Masamune
    I'll trust you to put in a good word for me.
[13:55] Nar
    Subsequently, through Maeda Toshiie,
[14:01] Nar
    Masamune requested that Rikyu
    instruct him in tea ceremony.
[14:04] Nar
    Rikyu consented readily.
[14:09] Nar
    Of course, Rikyu immediately could
    tell Masamune's inner character.
[14:21] Nar
    Which, in turn, paved the way
     for Masamune's troubles.
[14:31] Hideyoshi
    He wants instructions in the tea ceremony,
     as his last wishes?
[14:38] Hideyoshi
    Now I really want to see him face-to-face.
[14:56] Mosuke
    Uh...
[15:01] Kanetsugu
    Soldiers are coming.
[15:04] Mosuke
    Huh?
[15:06] Kanetsugu
    The ground is quaking.
[15:08] Mosuke
    What?
[15:14] Mosuke
    What's coming?

[15:41] Kanetsugu
    Why is the lord here in Odawara?
[15:50] Kagekatsu
    The Chief Advisor intends...
[15:52] Kagekatsu
    to make a show of Date's punishment.
[15:56] Suibara
    Yeah...
[15:58] Suibara
    for that very cause, high daimyo lords
    have had to gather in Odawara.
[16:05] Suibara
    Argh.
[16:06] Suibara
    It's the end of Date.
[16:08] Suibara
    I shall respectfully witness his demise.
[16:11] Kanetsugu
    Or...
[16:13] Kanetsugu
    this might just turn out to be a gala event.
[16:17] Suibara
    What?!
[16:25] Kagekatsu
    Kanetsugu.
[16:26] Kagekatsu
    What do you mean?
[16:28] Kanetsugu
    Date Masamune is quite an actor.
[16:46] Toshiie
    Why must I be in charge of these meetings?
[16:50] Toshiie
    Don't they know how much all this is costing?
[16:53] Toshiie
    And that Date Masamune
    is just like Keiji. He's unpredictable!
[17:00] Toshiie
    He makes me sick with worry.
[17:03] Toshiie
    Date-dono, it is time.
[17:06] Kojuro
    Yes.
[17:07] Kojuro
    My lord, your garment.
[17:12] Toshiie
    What's taking him so long?
[17:15] Toshiie
    If he's late again,
    the Chief Advisor will be displeased...
[17:19] Toshiie
    Masamune would have to commit seppuku.
[17:53] Suibara
    Hey, Kanetsugu...
[17:56] Suibara

[17:58] Suibara
    his eyes are shooting daggers at you.
[18:03] Kanetsugu
    Oh, him.
[18:04] Kanetsugu
    We had a drinking contest a few days ago.
[18:10] Suibara
    You drank him under the table, didn't you?
[18:14] Kanetsugu
    He underestimated me,
    a man from Echigo.
[18:19] Ieyasu
    You.
[18:19] Ieyasu
    Stop it with your menacing energy.
[18:21] Ieyasu
    What if the Chief Advisor senses it?
    What would you say to him?
[18:24] Ii
    Yes, but...
[18:27] Ieyasu
    First things first.

    Announcing the arrival
[18:45] Soldier
    of Date Masamune-dono.
[19:15] Ieyasu
    Well...
[19:17] Suibara
    He's wearing a death robe!
[19:20] Suibara
    How strange.
[19:22] Suibara
    Is this the kind of thing
[19:24] Suibara
    someone about to be given
    a death sentence would do?
[19:48] Voice
    Lord!
[19:48] Voice
    The short sword!
[19:49] Masamune
    Yeah.
[20:09] Kojuro
    Lord.
[20:10] Kojuro
    It is safely in my hands.
[20:13] Masamune
    I am grateful my insolence
    has been admonished.
[20:46] Hideyoshi
    Kid...
[20:47] Hideyoshi
    Had you been just a little later...
[20:49] Hideyoshi
    you would've lost your head.
[21:00] Hideyoshi
    It is noble that you have
    brought your army to Odawara.
[21:03] Suibara
    Wh-Wh-What?
[21:06] Suibara
    This is ridiculous.
[21:09] Kanetsugu
    Looks like Date-dono has been given clemency.
[21:17] Ii
    This was the Date strategist
    Katakura Kojuro's persuasion.
[21:22] Ii
    Such phony theatrics.
[21:26] Ieyasu
    No, no.
[21:27] Ieyasu
    It's the kind of theater
    the Chief Advisor enjoys.
[21:30] Ieyasu
    It endeared him far more effectively
    than being spiteful and defiant.
[21:49] Kagekatsu
    Who is he?
[21:50] Kanetsugu
    Katakura Kojuro.
[21:53] Kanetsugu
    He is my formidable friend.

SIGN    The Ninjas Take Action
[02:46] Keiji
    I see...
[02:48] Keiji
    a death robe would, indeed, be theatrical
    enough to please the Chief Advisor.
[02:54] Kanetsugu
    More endearing than spite and defiance.
[02:59] Keiji
    Though he got to keep his head,
    Date wasn't unscathed, either.
[03:04] Kanetsugu
    A large portion of his
    territory was confiscated.
[03:09] Kanetsugu
    And his lordship took away one more
    important thing from Date-dono.
[03:51] Hideyoshi
    Hey, Masamune.
[03:54] Hideyoshi
    I am confiscating Iwase and Asaka.
[04:00] Hideyoshi
    Yes.
[04:15] Hideyoshi
    You will still have
    about 700,000 koku left.
[04:18] Hideyoshi
    Any complaints?
[04:22] Hideyoshi
    And...
[04:24] Hideyoshi
    Katakura Kojuro.
[04:26] Hideyoshi
    I am granting you
    50,000 koku from Tamura.
[04:30] Kojuro
    Pardon?
[04:34] Hideyoshi
    How about that?
[04:39] Hideyoshi
    Would you like to become my direct vassal?
[04:48] Kojuro
    I could not accept it.
[04:58] Hideyoshi
    Huh?
[05:12] Hideyoshi
    Why?
[05:16] Kojuro
    I am the one who has gouged
    out my own lord's right eye.
[05:22] Hideyoshi
    Is this true?
[05:27] Masamune
    Indeed...
[05:29] Masamune
    it is true!
[05:35] Kojuro
    Therefore, it is my destiny
    to be his right eye until I die.
[05:47] Hideyoshi
    All right, all right.
[05:49] Hideyoshi
    I've heard enough.
[05:50] Hideyoshi
    How pathetic.
[05:53] Hideyoshi
    You reject 50,000 koku as if it's nothing.
[05:59] Hideyoshi
    Hey, Rikyu.
[06:00] Hideyoshi
    Kojuro reminds me of that guy.
[06:03] Rikyu
    Yes.
[06:04] Masamune
    What guy?
[06:10] Rikyu
    That would be Naoe Kanetsugu-sama.
SIGN    Eight Swords Bishamon
[06:47] Suibara
    I thought that would be the end of Date.
[06:50] Suibara
    Instead, Masamune curried favor for himself.
[06:57] Kanetsugu
    That was splendid.
[07:02] Kagekatsu
    He's a troublesome fellow
    from a neighboring province.
[07:11] Mosuke
    That is...
[07:42] Ii
    Leave him be.
[07:49] Ii
    He is Naoe Kanetsugu-dono,
    the strategist of Uesugi.
[07:54] Kanetsugu
    Ii-dono.
[07:55] Ii
    What are you up to, Naoe-dono?
[07:57] Kanetsugu
    I would enjoy a visit,
[08:01] Kanetsugu
    but we must pass through on horseback.
[08:04] Kanetsugu
    Please pardon us.
[08:05] Ii
    Huh?
[08:07] Ieyasu
    This is a battlefield.
[08:09] Ieyasu
    They may stay on horseback.
[08:11] Ieyasu
    They may go.
[08:28] Ieyasu
    Naoe-dono.
[08:29] Ieyasu
    It has been a while.
[08:31] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[08:32] Ieyasu
    I heard about your hospitality to Naomasa.
[08:36] Ii
    Uh... My lord.
[08:38] Ii
    Please don't...
[08:40] Ieyasu
    First, you drank him under the table,
[08:43] Ieyasu
    then you had to deliver him to his residence.
[08:51] Ii
    Damn it...
[08:52] Ii
    The biggest embarrassment of my life.
[08:55] Kanetsugu
    Oh, it was nothing.
[09:01] Ieyasu
    Thanks for taking care of him.
[09:03] Ieyasu
    I express my gratitude.
[09:33] Ii
    Damn...
[09:45] Mosuke
    Milord.
[09:47] Mosuke
    My hunch is that Ieyasu
    was waiting for you there.
[09:52] Kanetsugu
    Probably.
[09:54] Kanetsugu
    That's why I greeted him.
[09:56] Mosuke
    Huh?
[10:00] Kanetsugu
    He...
[10:08] Kanetsugu
    definitely knows the secret about my eyes.
[10:14] Kagekatsu
    Tokugawa...
[10:16] Kagekatsu
    is investigating your secret?
[10:20] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[10:23] Kanetsugu
    He probably knows about
    the Jizo Bodhisattva, as well.
[10:31] Kagekatsu
    Tokugawa must be planning to battle us.
[10:37] Kanetsugu
    Lord. You need not worry.
[10:42] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo is on his way
    to the Bodhisattva statue,
[10:44] Kanetsugu
    to make sure it doesn't get stolen.
[10:50] Kagekatsu
    But...
[10:51] Kanetsugu
    No.
[10:53] Kanetsugu
    If my history were to bring
    troubles to Uesugi...
[10:58] Kanetsugu
    you must execute me as a criminal.
[11:01] Kagekatsu
    What?
[11:03] Kanetsugu
    That would be the best strategy
    to eliminate the source of trouble.
[11:40] Jirobo
    That's Shimosaka Sagen.
[11:44] Jirobo
    I heard he's working for Ii Naomasa.
[11:51] Jirobo
    Can't be true...
[12:34] Jirobo
    A ninja.
[12:48] Sagen
    Long time no see, Jirobo.
[12:51] Sagen
    I see your ninja skills have not waned.
[12:56] Jirobo
    Shimosaka Sagen, is that you?
[13:00] Sagen
    You recognize me by voice?
[13:04] Sagen
    I take it that you have been aware of me.
[13:19] Jirobo
    What?
[13:48] Jirobo
    S-Sagen...
[13:51] Sagen
    Sorry about that.
[13:53] Sagen
    But there was no other way to capture you.
[13:57] Jirobo
    Wh-What do you want from me?
[14:00] Sagen
    Lord Kenshin has bequeathed
    a Jizo Bodhisattva as proof of his son.
[14:05] Sagen
    Tell me where it is.
[14:10] Jirobo
    Wh...
[14:11] Jirobo
    What are you talking about?
[14:29] Sagen
    Don't pretend you don't know.
[14:31] Sagen
    As Mitsumono ninja, you and I fought
    together at Kawanakajima, remember?
[14:38] Sagen
    Back in the days when I worked for Takeda...
[14:41] Sagen
    there was a ninja who ran errands
    between Nara's Shukuin and Kenshin.
[14:47] Sagen
    As to his personal description...
[14:49] Sagen
    it matches yours perfectly.
[14:52] Jirobo
    Wh-What are you talking about...
[14:57] Sagen
    Don't play dumb.
[14:59] Sagen
    I know you were Kenshin's number one ninja.
[15:05] Sagen
    You can go to Kenshin's
    side now, if you like.
[15:20] Mosuke
    Could that have been...
[15:24] Kanetsugu
    Mosuke's hunch was right on the mark.
[15:30] Keiji
    There's no torture more
    severe than the ninjas'.
[15:33] Kanetsugu
    Not to mention, it was Sagen and Jirobo...
[15:36] Kanetsugu
    It was a battle of wills
[15:38] Kanetsugu
    between two men connected
    to Kenshin and Uesugi's fate.
[15:43] Keiji
    Hence, his pain...
[15:45] Keiji
    must have been unimaginable.
[15:50] Kanetsugu
    However, notwithstanding
    the excruciating pain,
[15:53] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo did not give in.
[15:56] Keiji
    Indeed...
[15:59] Kanetsugu
    Due to his righteous loyalty
    to my father, Lord Kenshin.
[16:06] Kenshin
    What?
[16:07] Kenshin
    Princess Tae is pregnant with my child?
[16:10] Jirobo
    Yes, indubitably.
[16:16] Kenshin
    You...
[16:19] Kenshin
    have just killed someone, haven't you?
[16:22] Jirobo
    Yes.
[16:23] Jirobo
    Several ninjas.
[16:25] Jirobo
    Because they got wind of the secret.
[16:28] Kenshin
    You killed your own comrades?
[16:31] Jirobo
    I had to silence them. It was inevitable.
[16:41] Kenshin
    You...
[16:43] Jirobo
    Now I, too, can guard the secret.
[16:48] Kenshin
    I will not allow it.
[16:49] Kenshin
    Do not die, Jirobo.
[16:51] Jirobo
    M-Milord.
[16:57] Kenshin
    As of this moment, you are my direct vassal.
[17:00] Jirobo
    Th-That is too much...
[17:02] Kenshin
    Hence, you must live.
[17:05] Kenshin
    Live and protect my son.
[17:11] Nar
    This was the moment Jirobo
    renewed his will to live.
[17:16] Nar
    When Jirobo was an infant,
[17:17] Nar
    he was found at a battlefield
    by a ninja leader.
[17:21] Nar
    He was raised by him－
    as a slave and as a ninja.
[17:24] Nar
    Thus, he was ready to die at any moment,
    without any qualms whatsoever.
[17:30] Nar
    And even now, his will kept Jirobo alive...
[17:42] Mosuke
    Milord.
[17:43] Kanetsugu
    Hmm?
[17:45] Kanetsugu
    What's the matter?
[17:46] Kanetsugu
    Still can't get to sleep?
[17:50] Kanetsugu
    I guess you are hearing
    Jirobo's voice in your heart, too.
[17:55] Mosuke
    I'm worried about Jirobo.
[17:58] Mosuke
    If Tokugawa is onto him, it's too
    dangerous for him to go alone.
[18:03] Mosuke
    I know.
[18:04] Mosuke
    I can go to his aid.
[18:08] Mosuke
    But, milord.
[18:10] Kanetsugu
    Don't worry.
[18:12] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo is not alone.
[18:14] Mosuke
    Huh?
[18:16] Kanetsugu
    That demon is with him.
[18:18] Mosuke
    Demon?
[18:22] Mosuke
    No, don't tell me!
[18:33] Ninja1
    So that's the famous ninja, Jirobo, huh?
[18:37] Ninja2
    His fame is overrated.
[18:38] Ninja1
    Nothing but a geriatric ninja.
[18:49] Ninja1
    A bear?
[18:57] Ninja2
    What the... As if it was
    running away from something.
[19:02] Ninja1
    Of course not! What would
    a bear be afraid of?
[19:06] Ninja2
    I suppose you're right...
[19:21] Ninja1
    What's the matter?
[19:22] Ninja2
    A d-d-demon...
[19:33] Ninja1
    He's dead!
[19:40] Ninja1
    Wh-Wh-What the...
[20:04] Sagen
    I have heard, that after Kenshin's death,
[20:09] Sagen
    you left Echigo and
    became a freelance ninja.
[20:12] Sagen
    So why are you still loyal to Uesugi?
[20:19] Jirobo
    Because Lord Kenshin...
[20:22] Jirobo
    saved me from being a slave.
[20:26] Jirobo
    I will never forget
[20:29] Jirobo
    my debt to him,
    as long as I live.
[20:34] Sagen
    Righteousness due to your indebtedness.
[20:36] Jirobo
    That's right.
[20:37] Jirobo
    Righteousness.
[20:44] Sagen
    So even you are righteous, too.
[20:46] Sagen
    When Echigo men are righteous,
    they also are stubborn.
[20:58] Sagen
    You must die.
[21:01] Sagen
    Because it would be a nuisance for me...
[21:04] Sagen
    if you righteously reported to Naoe
    of my search for the Jizo Bodhisattva.
[21:22] Sagen
    What?
[21:39] Sagen
    Wh-What the...
[21:59] Sagen
    Wh-What is this?

    What should we do?
[05:20] Sagen
    Hm?
[05:21] Ninja
    Jirobo is faithful to Kenshin.
[05:24] Ninja
    He'll probably report our actions to Uesugi.
[05:28] Sagen
    No...

    I assume they already know.

    That strategist of Uesugi,
    Naoe Kanetsugu...
[05:36] Sagen
    You can never underestimate him.
[05:39] Sagen
    We must head to Shukuin,
[05:41] Sagen
    south of the capital where
    the Bodhisattva statue was carved.
[05:43] Ninja
    Yes.
[06:16] Jirobo
    Hey...
[06:19] Jirobo
    you're very thoughtful.
[06:24] Jirobo
    A boar's liver...
[06:28] Jirobo
    is the best thing to eat
[06:31] Jirobo
    to regain your strength.
[07:00] Jirobo
    I'm all right...
[07:02] Jirobo
    I'm all right.

    Thanks...

    You came looking for me,
    all decked out in armor.
[07:22] Jirobo
    I owe you one.
[07:25] Jirobo
    Thank you.
[07:29] Jirobo
    I'll mend my wounds in this cave for a while.
[07:51] Jirobo
    You should get some rest, too.
[07:59] Jirobo
    Hey, there! Stop it!
[08:04] Jirobo
    I'm wounded, you know?
[08:08] Jirobo
    Stop it, White Cloud!
[08:11] Jirobo
    That hurts!
[08:17] Keiji
    So the so-called demon's
    name is White Cloud, huh?
[08:21] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[08:22] Kanetsugu
    I named him that because
    of his bright, white fur.
[08:26] Keiji
    Who knew, Kanetsugu-dono,
    that you had a vassal like that.
[08:31] Kanetsugu
    Actually, Jirobo raised him.
[08:34] Keiji
    Oh?
[08:37] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo raised him as if he were his own son.
[08:41] Kanetsugu
    And White Cloud is
    unconditionally faithful to him...
[08:46] Kanetsugu
    as if Jirobo were his own father.
[08:52] Kanetsugu
    They're more than man and dog...
    they're father and son.
[09:02] Keiji
    I see.
[09:06] Keiji
    They're a congenial father and son.
[09:10] Keiji
    On the other hand, there's the question
    of the Jizo Bodhisattva.
[09:14] Keiji
    Where was Jirobo headed?
[09:17] Kanetsugu
    He was on his way to Daiyoin-sama.
[09:21] Keiji
    Daiyoin?
[09:23] Kanetsugu
    The widow of the 13th Shogun,
    Lord Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
[09:29] Kanetsugu
    She is the sister of the Chief Advisor,
    Lord Konoe Sakihisa,
[09:34] Kanetsugu
    and of my mother, Princess Tae.
[09:37] Kanetsugu
    Daiyoin-sama's residence
    is called Goreiden.
[09:44] Kanetsugu
    A place where portraits of generations
    of the Konoe clan are ensconced...
[09:49] Kanetsugu
    along with that Jizo Bodhisattva.
[09:55] Kanetsugu
    I was told that soon after I was born...
SIGN    1560, Kyoto: Goreiden, the Konoe residence
[10:12] Daiyoin
    This is from Kagetora-sama?
[10:14] Jirobo
    Yes.
[10:16] Jirobo
    He said this is to be kept by Princess Tae.
[10:21] Daiyoin
    A symbol of the couple's son...
[10:26] Jirobo
    He asked that you keep the matter secret.
[10:30] Daiyoin
    The things that those two do...
[10:36] Daiyoin
    It is only natural they have
    produced an offspring...
[10:49] Daiyoin
    In a season when gardenias
    were in full bloom...
SIGN    Further back in time, in 1559
[11:35] Kagetora
    Taehime.
[11:38] Kagetora
    Do you like that flower?
[11:46] Taehime
    Ka...
[11:47] Taehime
    Kagetora-sama.
[11:57] Taehime
    Oh.
[12:00] Taehime
    I have a message from my older brother.
[12:02] Taehime
    The Shogun-sama will be at our house,
    the day after tomorrow.
[12:07] Kagetora
    I appreciate it.
[12:09] Kagetora
    Sorry you have to do a job like this.
[12:11] Taehime
    N-No...
[12:14] Taehime
    I personally requested the job.
[12:24] Kagetora
    Tae-dono.
[12:28] Nar
    In 1559...
[12:31] Nar
    when Uesugi Kenshin still
    called himself Nagao Kagetora,
[12:37] Nar
    he made a majestic
    entrance to the capital.
[12:41] Nar
    The Chief Advisor of the time,
[12:42] Nar
    Konoe Sakihisa,
    was impressed by his presence.
[12:47] Nar
    He thus planned an alliance with the
    Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Kagetora.
[12:55] Nar
    However, his scheme was
    fraught with mortal danger.
[13:01] Nar
    The reason was because Miyoshi
    Nagayoshi and Matsunaga Hisahide
[13:07] Nar
    were seeking to usurp
    leadership of the Shogunate.
[13:12] Nar
    if they were to learn of his plan,
[13:14] Nar
    they would have immediately
    resorted to ruthless retaliation.
[13:20] Nar
    Thus, in order to avoid the peril,
    to proceed in secrecy,
[13:25] Nar
    a unique course of action
    was set into motion.
[13:43] Kagetora
    What a hoopla.
[13:47] Kagetora
    Look at this courtly bunch of youths.
[13:51] Konoe
    Our Shogun lord, Yoshiteru,
    enjoys having banquets with young people.
[13:56] Konoe
    It's a part of tonight's agenda
    because he wants you, Kagetora-dono,
[13:59] Konoe
    to become accustomed to his ways.
[14:04] Nar
    "Courtly" was the word used
    to describe people who were
[14:08] Nar
    elegant, delicate and refined.
[14:32] Taehime
    Let's see if you still think
    I'm courtly after this.
[14:34] Taehime
    Try me.
[14:39] Kagetora
    You're challenging me to a drinking
    contest with that huge cup?
[14:45] Konoe
    Wh-Wha...
[15:08] Kagetora
    Splendid.
[15:10] Taehime
    All right...
[15:12] Taehime
    your turn.
[15:14] Konoe
    Umm... Hey now...
[15:17] Konoe
    Knock it off, Tae!
[15:19] Kagetora
    Hmm?
[15:20] Kagetora
    Tae?
[15:23] Konoe
    She's my little sister.
[15:26] Kagetora
    Oh?
[15:30] Konoe
    She's going to be our informant, yours and mine.
[15:36] Nar
    Indeed, the sibling would never
    betray secrets of the alliance...
[15:43] Nar
    and she is well hidden
    as an undercover informant,
[15:47] Nar
    by mingling with this group of youths.
[15:54] Kagetora
    Isn't it said
[15:56] Kagetora
    that a woman's long,
    black hair is her lifeline?
[16:02] Taehime
    No.
[16:04] Taehime
    The two of you have a dream.
[16:05] Taehime
    I want to be a part of it.
[16:09] Keiji
    I see.
[16:10] Keiji
    She cut off her lifeline,
    her black hair...
[16:14] Keiji
    Lord Kenshin must've been
    captivated by her resolve.
[16:18] Kanetsugu
    No.
[16:19] Keiji
    Oh?
[16:19] Kanetsugu
    There was something else about my
    mother that captured Lord Kenshin's heart.
[16:24] Keiji
    Indeed, what could that be?
[16:27] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[16:28] Kanetsugu
    It could rightly be said,
    that it was destiny at work.
[16:33] Miyoshi
    What?
[16:35] Miyoshi
    The Chief Advisor plans
    to go to Echigo with Kagetora?
[16:41] Matsunaga
    They'll conquer Kanto first.
[16:43] Matsunaga
    Then they'll induct the large armies of Kanto,
[16:47] Matsunaga
    and move to the capital
    where Shogun Ashikaga will restore
[16:51] Matsunaga
    the imperial court's former glory.
[16:54] Matsunaga
    That's what I've heard.
[16:57] Miyoshi
    He had me thinking he was indulging
    in nightly debaucheries with youths.
[17:02] Matsunaga
    This is not good.
[17:03] Matsunaga
    We rule the capital with
    our puppet: Shogun Yoshiteru...
[17:10] Matsunaga
    We'll be ruined if things
    go according to their plan.
[17:13] Miyoshi
    Kagetora must die.
[17:16] Miyoshi
    There's no other choice.
[17:29] Youth
    I play this.
[17:31] Assistant
    Fine.
[17:31] Assistant
    You may enter.
[17:51] Taehime
    Intruder!
[17:53] Assassin
    You're a...
[18:09] Taehime
    Ka...
[18:11] Taehime
    Kagetora-sama.
[18:19] Sakitsugu
    I'm sorry. The Shogun has
    suddenly taken ill tonight.
[18:24] Kagetora
    Is that so?
[18:27] Kagetora
    I must admit I can't get accustomed
    to these courtly banquets.
[18:33] Sakitsugu
    I suppose you don't share
    the Shogun's tastes.
[18:36] Sakitsugu
    Tae has a good cover here...
[18:37] Sakitsugu
    Speaking of Tae... Where is she?
[18:50] Kagetora
    Yeah, yeah!
[18:53] Kagetora
    The musician is having
    more fun than usual tonight.
[18:57] Sakitsugu
    There's Tae. Over there.
[19:02] Kagetora
    Hmm?
[19:03] Kagetora
    Tae-dono...
[19:09] Sakitsugu
    Uh, hey, Tae...
[19:13] Taehime
    There are assassins among them.
[19:15] Taehime
    Don't let your guard down.
[19:22] Sakitsugu
    Wh-What happened?
[19:24] Taehime
    I encountered an intruder...
[19:28] Taehime
    but I failed to...
[19:32] Kagetora
    Tae-dono.
[19:32] Sakitsugu
    Tae.
[19:34] Assassin
    Aa-yo-iyasa-
[19:58] Assassin
    You...
[20:00] Assassin
    I thought I had...
[20:12] Kagetora
    Tae-dono.
[20:19] Kagetora
    You...
[20:21] Kagetora
    you are my guardian deity.
[20:30] Kagetora
    You are Bishamonten.
[20:52] Taehime
    Sister.
[20:55] Daiyoin
    Your wound was not in a vital area.
[21:04] Taehime
    Where did you get the gardenia?
[21:07] Daiyoin
    Kagetora-sama wanted you to have it...
[21:11] Daiyoin
    as a hair ornament.
[21:15] Taehime
    It's from Kagetora-sama?
[21:25] Jirobo
    So Tae-sama...
[21:27] Jirobo
    protected Kagetora-sama.
[21:29] Daiyoin
    Yes.
[21:30] Daiyoin
    But the vision Lord Kenshin
    had at that moment...
[21:36] Daiyoin
    was not of Bishamonten.
[21:41] Daiyoin
    I know that he saw her as Kisshoten.
[21:44] Jirobo
    Kisshoten?
[21:47] Daiyoin
    Lord Kenshin made
    an oath of lifelong celibacy...
[21:50] Daiyoin
    but their destiny
    rendered his oath powerless.
[21:56] Daiyoin
    Because Kisshoten is
    the wife of Bishamonten...
[22:04] Daiyoin
    as so pronounced by Lord Buddha.

SIGN    July, 1590
[00:03] Nar
    In the 6th month, 1590,
SIGN    Matsuida Castle
SIGN    Hachigata Castle
[00:06] Nar
    Matsuida Castle was conquered
[00:09] Nar
    by the allied forces
    of Uesugi, Sanada, and Maeda
[00:12] Nar
    which subsequently besieged
    Hachigata Castle.
SIGN    Hachioji Castle
[00:14] Nar
    Hachioji Castle was to be next,
    the impregnable protective fortress of Odawara.
SIGN    Odawara Castle
SIGN    Downfall and Tethers
[02:00] Nar
    The battle commenced
    on the 23rd day of the 6th month.
SIGN    July 24, 1590
[02:05] Nar
    The allied armies of Toyotomi
    numbered approximately 15,000 troops.
[02:09] Nar
    In contrast, approximately 3,000
    men defended Hachioji Castle.
[02:14] Nar
    Their troops consisted of several generals,
    but the rest were inducted farmers.
[02:19] Nar
    As a result, the battle
    was over in a single day.
[02:24] Ally
    Burn it!
[02:26] Ally
    Burn it to the ground!
[03:14] Maeda (Toshiie)
    What's the matter, Naoe-dono?
[03:17] Maeda
    You don't kill women. Is that it?
[03:20] Maeda
    Or have you forgotten our lord,
    the Chief Advisor's command?
[03:27] Kanestugu
    Our lord's command...
[03:29] Maeda
    That's right.
[03:36] Hideyoshi
    How do you like this castle, Kanetsugu?
[03:40] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[03:41] Hideyoshi
    Look forward to it.
[03:43] Hideyoshi
    Once we're done with this castle,
[03:45] Hideyoshi
    Odawara Castle will quickly fall.
[03:49] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[03:50] Hideyoshi
    Before that happens, however,
    there must be a preliminary set-up.
[03:57] Kanetsugu
    Set-up?
[03:58] Hideyoshi
    Correct.
[03:59] Hideyoshi
    Hachioji Castle,
    the cornerstone of their defense,
[04:05] Hideyoshi
    must be devastated.
[04:08] Hideyoshi
    And in the meantime...
[04:12] Hideyoshi
    everyone inside the castle must be killed.
[04:24] Maeda
    Right, then.
[04:25] Maeda
    Continue your military endeavors.
[05:02] Mosuke
    Milord.
[05:03] Mosuke
    This is a cruel siege.
[05:05] Mosuke
    Most of the women
    and children committed suicide.
[05:14] Kanetsugu
    We, the men,
[05:17] Kanetsugu
    have murdered them with our obstinacy.
[05:24] Kanetsugu
    But these deaths...
[05:27] Kanetsugu
    will bring an end to this war.
[05:32] Sanada
    Once attacked, the purported
    stronghold Hachioji Castle
[05:35] Sanada
    wasn't much to speak of.
[05:38] Kagekatsu
    Indeed.
[05:39] Sanada
    Hojo's downfall is approaching.
[05:43] Sanada
    But as they say,
    it could be us tomorrow.
[05:47] Sanada
    Who knows how this event
    could lead to our own demise?
[05:52] Sanada
    Let us beware.
[06:04] Kagekatsu
    The consequences of the downfall...
[06:09] Kanetsugu
    Lord.
[06:11] Kanetsugu
    You need not worry.
[06:13] Kanetsugu
    If my history were to bring
    troubles to Uesugi...
[06:19] Kanetsugu
    you must execute me as a criminal.
[06:22] Kagekatsu
    What?
[06:23] Kanetsugu
    That would be the best strategy
    to eliminate the source of trouble.
[06:37] Messenger
    Message!
[06:38] Messenger
    Message!
[06:41] Messenger
    Everyone on our side... in the castle...
[06:45] Messenger
    has been destroyed...
    and those who were captured...
[06:49] Messenger
    of course... there is not
    a single survivor among them.
[06:53] Soldier
    Hey!
[06:55] Ujinao
    D-Did Hachioji Castle f-finally fall, too?
[07:04] Ujinao
    D-Damn you, Hideyoshi!
[07:25] Hideyoshi
    Well done, Kanetsugu,
    for bringing down Hachioji Castle.
[07:32] Hideyoshi
    It was greatly honorable.
[07:35] Hideyoshi
    Hm?
[07:36] Hideyoshi
    What's the matter?
[07:37] Hideyoshi
    Don't like my shoulder massage?
[07:41] Kanetsugu
    Hojo...
[07:43] Hideyoshi
    Hm?
[07:44] Kanetsugu
    has crumbled, within and without.
[07:47] Hideyoshi
    So?
[07:49] Kanetsugu
    There were excessive
    betrayals among their clan.
[07:52] Kanetsugu
    The insurrection of their most
    prominent vassal since Hojo Soun,
[07:57] Kanetsugu
    Matsuda Norihide...
[07:59] Kanetsugu
    was especially devastating.
[08:01] Kanetsugu
    And now, Hachioji Castle has fallen...
[08:03] Kanetsugu
    I see no reason to compound
    their losses with more death.
[08:09] Kanetsugu
    At Hachioji Castle,
    many of the women and children
[08:13] Kanetsugu
    had turned the blade upon themselves.
[08:16] Hideyoshi
    I see... so they've been slaughtered,
    every one of them.
[08:20] Hideyoshi
    Which means...
[08:23] Hideyoshi
    the time has now come.
[08:26] Hideyoshi
    As I had promised you...
[08:29] Hideyoshi
    that if you bring down Hachioji Castle...
[08:32] Hideyoshi
    I would show you
    my ingenious resourcefulness.
[08:36] Hideyoshi
    Now is a good time to fulfill that promise.
[08:50] Hideyoshi
    Observe well, Kanetsugu!
[08:57] Kanetsugu
    That is...
[09:06] Hojo soldier1
    Huh?
[09:08] Hojo soldier2
    What is that?
[09:20] Kanetsugu
    What is this?
[09:21] Hideyoshi
    Go!
[09:22] Hideyoshi
    Let Hojo get an eyeful of this!
[09:53] Soldier1
    Lord!
[09:56] Ujinao
    What now?
[10:12] Ujimasa
    I heard they were building
    a fortress on Mount Kasakage...
[10:18] Ujimasa
    Who'd have thought it would be so big?
[10:27] Ujimasa
    Damn you and your
    ostentatious antics, Hideyoshi!
[10:33] Ujinao
    Father...
[10:36] Ujinao
    I think we're doomed.
[10:37] Ujimasa
    Hm?
[10:39] Ujinao
    I think we're doomed.
[10:41] Ujimasa
    What?
[10:42] Ujinao
    Hideyoshi is showing off his
    "overnight castle"...
[10:46] Ujinao
    not to us, but to the soldiers
    and people in our castle.
[10:51] Ujinao
    Our castle might be impregnable,
    but it's people who defend it, after all.
[10:58] Ujinao
    That overnight castle...
    is enough to demoralize our troops.
[11:10] Hideyoshi
    Kanetsugu.
[11:11] Hideyoshi
    Let this sight impress itself upon your eyes.
[11:15] Hideyoshi
    Takeda Shingen, Lord Nobunaga,
[11:18] Hideyoshi
    and even Uesugi Kenshin
    couldn't pull it off...
[11:25] Hideyoshi
    But I have conquered Odawara Castle!
[11:39] Nar
    Hojo Ujinao made a plea to have
    the lives of his troops spared,
[11:43] Nar
    in exchange for performing seppuku.
[11:46] Nar
    Hideyoshi consented, and thereby,
    Odawara came to an end.
[11:52] Nar
    But Ujinao was given amnesty
    and banished to Mount Koya.
[11:57] Nar
    His father, Hojo Ujimasa,
     and others committed seppuku.
[12:02] Nar
    Beginning with Hojo Soun,
    the Hojo clan reigned over the Kanto area
[12:06] Nar
    for five generations, but now
    their lineage had reached its end.
[12:23] Kagekatsu
    Such unbearable sadness...
[12:27] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[12:28] Kanetsugu
    Odawara Castle,
    said to be impregnable...
[12:31] Kagekatsu
    devastated so easily.
[12:34] Kanetsugu
    Lord.
[12:35] Kagekatsu
    Hm?
[12:36] Kanetsugu
    This soundscape resembles human screams,
    but what is it that you hear?
[12:45] Kanetsugu
    Do you hear the commotion of troops
    and people who were in the castle...
[12:49] Kanetsugu
    or is it the sound of their souls departing?
[12:58] Kanetsugu
    What would Lord Kenshin
    have said about this?
[13:11] Kagekatsu
    Lord Kenshin.
[13:18] Kanetsugu
    This is, indeed, the wail of souls,
    of the five generations of Hojo.
[13:39] Suibara
    Why the hell is he so stubborn?
[13:43] Kanetsugu
    What's the matter, Suibara-dono?
[13:48] Suibara
    I'm talking about our lord.
[13:51] Kanetsugu
    Our lord?
[13:53] Suibara
    Well, you see, he's frustrating me to no end.
[14:01] Kanetsugu
    He's frustrating you?
[14:02] Suibara
    Mmm.
[14:03] Suibara
    He's been married to Kikuhime-sama
    of the Takeda clan for eleven years...
[14:12] Suibara
    and not a single offspring to show for it!
[14:19] Suibara
    So I told him...
    Find a concubine!
[14:25] Suibara
    In the best interest of Uesugi.
[14:27] Suibara
    But he said... but he said...
[14:30] Suibara
    to mind my own business.
[14:39] Suibara
    He was so angry that he could've killed me!
[14:45] Suibara
    The downfall of the Hojo clan...
    It could happen to us!
[14:52] Suibara
    What if he has no heir?
[14:58] Suibara
    There's bound to be internal strife
    as to who will be Uesugi's successor!
[15:03] Suibara
    I can't forget the Battle of Otate,
    which happened after Lord Kenshin died.
[15:11] Suibara
    Arrgh... What will become of Uesugi?
[15:15] Suibara
    I'm so worried, I can't stand it.
[15:22] Kanetsugu
    I could understand why
    Suibara-dono felt the way he did.
[15:27] Keiji
    As I recall, Kagetora-dono fought
    Kagekatsu-dono for successorship...
[15:33] Keiji
    as he, too, was an adopted
    son of Lord Kenshin.
[15:36] Kanetsugu
    Thus, the Uesugi were split right in half...
[15:40] Kanetsugu
    and blood was spilled.
[15:42] Keiji
    In reaction to Hojo's downfall,
    anxieties arose about Uesugi's future...
[16:14] Kanetsugu
    Lord.
[16:15] Kanetsugu
    Suibara-dono acted strictly out of loyalty.
[16:20] Kanetsugu
    Perhaps finding a concubine is a good idea?
[16:23] Kakegatsu
    How could I do such a thing?
[16:26] Kagekatsu
    The Takeda clan...
    Kikuhime's home was destroyed.
[16:32] Kagekatsu
    When I think
[16:35] Kagekatsu
    of Kikuhime's sadness...
[16:38] Kagekatsu
    I cannot conceive of finding a concubine.
[16:41] Nar
    It could be said that
    in the civil war era, Kagekatsu's
[16:45] Nar
    compassion for Kikuhime was extraordinary...
[16:50] Nar
    but Kagekatsu was that kind of man.
[16:55] Kanetsugu
    Lord...
[16:56] Kagekatsu
    When Lord Kenshin died,
    if it weren't for Takeda's support...
[17:02] Kagekatsu
    we would've been killed
    in the Battle of Otate.
[17:08] Kagekatsu
    I am indebted to Takeda's honor.
[17:12] Kagekatsu
    Indeed...
[17:15] Kagekatsu
    I am undeserving of it.
[17:18] Kanetsugu
    What are you saying?
[17:19] Kagekatsu
    I had a vision.
[17:21] Kagekatsu
    Lord Kenshin is still with you.
[17:29] Kagekatsu
    Kanetsugu.
[17:31] Kagekatsu
    You know the truth about me.
[17:34] Kagekatsu
    How can you not hate me?
[17:37] Kanetsugu
    Then let me ask you, Lord.
    Did you not hate me?
[17:43] Kagekatsu
    What?
[17:44] Kanetsugu
    Or were you lying when
    you spoke those words?
[17:49] Kagekatsu
    "Those words"?
[17:51] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[17:52] Kanetsugu
    Sentoin-sama told me...
[17:55] Keiji
    "Those words"?
[17:57] Kanetsugu
    Back in the day when
    Kagekatsu-sama was still called Kiheiji...
[18:01] Kanetsugu
    the Uesugi clan was split into two factions,
[18:04] Kanetsugu
    and there was internal strife.
[18:07] Kanetsugu
    Lord Kenshin adopted Kiheiji-sama
    in the hope of quelling the discord.
[18:14] Kanetsugu
    In the meantime, however,
    Kiheiji-sama's father died...
[18:20] Kanetsugu
    the event made him
    suspicious of Lord Kenshin.
[18:24] Kanetsugu
    It was at such a time that
    Kiheiji-sama's mother, Sentoin-sama,
[18:29] Kanetsugu
    informed him that I was
    the true son of Lord Kenshin.
[18:33] Keiji
    How did Kagekatsu-dono react?
[18:36] Kanetsugu
    I was told that he said...
[18:41] Chibi-Kagekatsu
    I vow to tether myself
    to Higuchi Yoroku, Lord Kenshin's son...
[18:44] Chibi-Kagekatsu
    and we together shall be
    the guardians of Echigo.
[18:48] Kanetsugu
    He said he suspected no one of wrongdoing.
[18:52] Keiji
    Such immaculate innocence.
[18:55] Kanetsugu
    Kagekatsu-sama was only
    nine years old at the time.
[18:58] Kanetsugu
    But I was told, that ever since then...
[19:02] Kanetsugu
    he became prone to extreme introversion.
[19:06] Keiji
    Perhaps his innocent heart grew cold,
[19:10] Keiji
    from all the sorrows he was trying to hide.
[19:15] Kagekatsu
    ...tethered as guardians of Echigo...
[19:18] Kagekatsu
    I do remember...
[19:21] Kanetsugu
    So go ahead and slug me,
    if it makes you feel better.
[19:23] Kanetsugu
    Lord, you are always slow to speak.
[19:26] Kanetsugu
    That's why you always become quiet.
[19:27] Kanetsugu
    When you're bottled up,
    it makes your stomach turn.
[19:29] Kagekatsu
    What?
[19:31] Kanetsugu
    Go on.
[19:32] Kanetsugu
    Throw a punch.
[19:33] Kanetsugu
    Let your fist communicate your true feelings.
[19:43] Kagekatsu
    All right.
[19:54] Kanetsugu
    Th-That was a good one...
[19:59] Kagekatsu
    Now it's your turn.
[20:03] Kanetsugu
    I must warn you that I've got an iron fist.
[20:06] Kagekatsu
    I am commanding you.
[20:08] Kanetsugu
    In that case, pardon me.
[20:14] Suibara
    Wh-What was that noise in there?
[20:21] Suibara
    Well, well, well.
    What on earth is happening here?
[20:30] Suibara
    L-Lord!
[20:34] Suibara
    H-He's laughing.
[20:36] Suibara
    The lord is laughing.
[20:39] Nar
    Kagekatsu laughed.
[20:42] Nar
    Perhaps no one had ever
    seen him laugh before.
[20:47] Nar
    It was a most refreshing sight to see.
[20:52] Kanetsugu
    Lord.
[20:56] Kagekatsu
    How could I ever hold a grudge against you...
[20:59] Kagekatsu
    You have always been my little brother
[21:04] Kagekatsu
    and brothers do punch
    each other occasionally.
[21:08] Kanetsugu
    I now know your true feelings.
[21:13] Kagekatsu
    Then you should know,
    that I don't want an heir.
[21:17] Kagekatsu
    Kanetsugu.
[21:18] Kagekatsu
    It is you who must produce an heir.
[21:21] Kagekatsu
    And it is he who shall be
    the successor of Uesugi.
[21:25] Suibara
    Huh?
[21:26] Kanetsugu
    L-Lord...
[21:28] Nar
    Subsequently, Kagekatsu and his wife, Kikuhime, never had a child.
[21:35] Nar
    But to enforce his will,
    Kagekatsu nonetheless took a concubine,
[21:39] Nar
    who bore him a son.
[21:42] Nar
    Kagekatsu was fifty years old at the time.
[21:46] Kanetsugu
    Kagekatsu-sama...
[21:48] Kakegatsu
    There'll be no more talk from
    you about dying as a criminal.
[21:56] Kanetsugu
    Ordering a samurai to not die...
    now that's a harsh command.
[22:06] Suibara
    Oh?
[22:08] Suibara
    Huh?

[00:26] Hideyoshi
    Kanetsugu.
[00:27] Hideyoshi
    Let this sight impress itself on your eyes.
[00:31] Hideyoshi
    Takeda Shingen, Lord Nobunaga,
[00:34] Hideyoshi
    and even Uesugi Kenshin
    couldn't pull it off...
[00:41] Hideyoshi
    But I have conquered Odawara Castle!
[00:47] Keiji
    So that was the downfall
    that ended five generations
[00:51] Keiji
    of the Hojo clan after Soun.
[00:54] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[00:56] Kanetsugu
    A castle might be impregnable,
[00:58] Kanetsugu
    but it's people who defend it, after all.
[01:01] Kanetsugu
    That overnight castle...
[01:03] Kanetsugu
    is enough to demoralize our troops.
[01:09] Kanetsugu
    And that is what...
[01:10] Kanetsugu
    the Hojo father and son came to realize
[01:12] Kanetsugu
    at that time...
[01:19] Kanetsugu
    And...
[01:21] Kanetsugu
    It wasn't long before
    Odawara came to an end.
[01:28] Kanetsugu
    There was a man who
    showed up at Uesugi's camp...
[01:34] Guard
    Whoops.
[01:35] Guard
    Huh?
[01:36] Guard
    Wow.
[01:37] Guard
    Big!
[01:38] Guard
    What the...
[01:46] Sakon
    Nice day we're having.
[01:49] Guard
    Uh... Yeah...

[03:32] Varlet
    Milord.
[03:33] Kanetsugu
    Hm?
[03:35] Varket
    Shima Sakon-sama is here.
[03:37] Kanetsugu
    Well...
[03:38] Varlet
    He has come from Yamato,
    as a messenger of Toyotomi Hidenaga-sama.
[03:43] Kanetsugu
    What?!
[03:44] Kanetsugu
    From Lord Toyotomi Hidenaga of Yamato?
[03:47] Nar
    Toyotomi Hidenaga...
[03:50] Nar
    is the younger brother of Hideyoshi.
[03:53] Nar
    There was a saying
    in the rulership of Toyotomi:
[03:54] Nar
    "Rikyu is in charge of internal affairs.
[03:57] Nar
    Hidenaga is in charge of public affairs."
[04:00] Nar
    Hidenaga was Hideyoshi's most
    trustworthy right-hand man.
[04:04] Nar
    But now, he was bedridden from illness

[04:08] Nar
    at the mountain castle
    of his fief at Yamato Province.
[04:10] Nar
    His ailing health kept him
    from the Odawara encampment.
[04:13] Nar
    Hence Sakon was dispatched
    to convey Hidenaga's message.
[04:23] Sakon
    Nara's sculptors of Shukuin
    have been murdered.
[04:29] Sakon
    The culprits were Iga ninjas.
[04:43] Sakon
    Shukuin is Hidenaga-sama's
    home away from home,
[04:47] Sakon
    thus I get news of everything
    that happens there.
[04:52] Kanetsugu
    The Iga ninjas are
    Tokugawa's men...
[04:55] Kanetsugu
    they are in search of
    a Jizo Bodhisattva statue.
[04:59] Sakon
    You knew of this?
[05:02] Sakon
    In that case, my job here is done.
[05:04] Sakon
    If you will pardon me.
[05:13] Kanetsugu
    This kind of job is beneath
    your position, Shima-dono.
[05:19] Sakon
    Uesugi of the eastern provinces
    is keeping Tokugawa in check...
[05:23] Sakon
    If it weren't for you,
    the Toyotomi empire would not exist.
[05:28] Sakon
    We need you,
[05:29] Sakon
    as long as Ieyasu's ambition
    burns for national conquest.
[05:34] Sakon
    That is the message
    of Hidenaga-sama for you.
[05:40] Sakon
    However, the matter
[05:41] Sakon
    is to be kept strictly under wraps.
[05:44] Sakon
    If others catch wind of it...
[05:48] Kanetsugu
    Hold it!
[05:50] Sakon
    What?
[06:01] Keiji
    Stop right there.
[06:04] Kanetsugu
    Hm?
[06:05] Keiji
    Turn the story back.
[06:07] Keiji
    Didn't White Cloud and
    Jirobo head to the capital?
[06:12] Kanetsugu
    Oh, yes.
[06:15] Kanetsugu
    White Cloud came to inform
    us about Jirobo's situation.
[06:24] Sakon
    What is this...
[06:25] Kanetsugu
    This is White Cloud,
    a fighter dog...
[06:28] Kanetsugu
    He is a vassal of mine.
[06:30] Sakon
    You don't say...
[06:34] Kanetsugu
    Attendant of Jirobo.
[06:37] Kanetsugu
    You have done well.
[06:41] Kanetsugu
    Hm?
[06:46] Sakon
    He even carries messages?
[06:47] Kanetsugu
    It would take two days for
    White Cloud to reach the capital.
[06:53] Sakon
    Well, in a matter of two days, you say!
[06:58] Sakon
    What's the matter?
[07:00] Kanetsugu
    According to the report,
    the Jizo Bodhisattva has been taken.
[07:06] Sakon
    What?
[07:07] Sakon
    By Tokugawa?
[07:11] Kanetsugu
    No... You see...
[07:35] Daiyoin
    Are you a messenger from the afterlife?
[07:39] Jirobo
    It has been a long time...
[07:40] Jirobo
    It is I, Jirobo, Lord Kenshin's ninja.
[07:44] Daiyoin
    Draw near.
[07:47] Daiyoin
    Let me see you...
[07:54] Daiyoin
    Your face...
[07:56] Daiyoin
    I have never forgotten you.
[07:59] Daiyoin
    Thank you for watching out for Taehime.
[08:04] Jirobo
    Yes.
[08:06] Daiyoin
    What can I do for you?
[08:10] Jirobo
    Where is Lord Kenshin's Jizo Bodhisattva?
[08:16] Jirobo
    I can't find it anywhere in here.
[08:22] Daiyoin
    He...
[08:25] Daiyoin
    took it away.
[08:27] Jirobo
    "He"?
[08:29] Daiyoin
    Yes.
[08:31] Daiyoin
    It was the year 1582...
[08:43] Daiyoin
    What is the matter?
[08:45] Daiyoin
    Why are you so nervous?
[08:48] Daiyoin
    Calm yourself.
[08:51] Servant
    O-O-Oda-sama is...
[08:54] Daiyoin
    Oda-sama?
[08:58] Servant
    O-Oda... ma...
[09:15] Jirobo
    Lord Oda Nobunaga?
[09:18] Sakon
    My goodness.
[09:22] Sakon
    This war is bigger than anticipated.
[09:25] Sakon
    An unexpected actor has entered the stage...
[09:30] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[09:36] Daiyoin
    Lord.
[09:38] Daiyoin
    Our resident headmaster
    is not here at this time.
[09:41] Nobunaga
    I know.
[09:43] Nobunaga
    Doesn't matter.
[09:50] Nobunaga
    Hey, Kenshin.
[09:52] Nobunaga
    Echigo's downfall is impending.
[09:54] Nobunaga
    The land of your righteousness.
[09:57] Daiyoin
    Is this true, Lord?
[10:00] Nar
    At that time, Echigo had
    been completed surrounded
[10:03] Nar
    by Oda's armies, in three directions.
[10:06] Nar
    Indeed, their doom was imminent.
[10:10] Nobunaga
    Daiyoin.
[10:12] Nobunaga
    I'm told the eyes of this Jizo
[10:13] Nobunaga
    are copies of the eyes
    of Kenshin and Taehime's son.
[10:18] Daiyoin
    Yes.
[10:20] Daiyoin
    Thus, the statue has been here
    by Taehime's memorial tablet.
[10:23] Nobunaga
    There is nothing in the world
    more imbued with Kenshin's spirit...
[10:27] Nobunaga
    than this statue.
[10:29] Nobunaga
    It means that it is...
[10:31] Nobunaga
    Kenshin himself!
[10:34] Daiyoin
    Wh-What are you doing...
[10:37] Nobunaga
    Oh, Jizo Bodhisattva,
    accompany me on my journey.
[10:40] Nobunaga
    We shall be going to Echigo right away.
[10:43] Nobunaga
    Echigo will be ruled by me...
    witness it with your eyes.
[10:49] Daiyoin
    This is an outrage.
[10:50] Daiyoin
    Why are you doing this?
[11:03] Daiyoin
    Lord.
[11:08] Nobunaga
    Out of everything in these times of civil war...
[11:11] Nobunaga
    Kenshin has always been my greatest fear.
[11:15] Nobunaga
    And to me, my most feared enemy,
    is also my truest friend.
[11:27] Daiyoin
    Lord.
[11:29] Nobunaga
    I am taking this to honor my friend.
[11:38] Daiyoin
    I am certain I saw...
[11:43] Daiyoin
    sadness in his eyes.
[11:53] Jirobo
    And...
[11:54] Jirobo
    where did he take the Bodhisattva statue?
[11:57] Daiyoin
    Nobody knows.
[12:01] Jirobo
    What?
[12:02] Daiyoin
    The next day...
[12:06] Daiyoin
    who knew such a thing would happen...
[12:11] Jirobo
    N-No...
[12:19] Daiyoin
    It happened...
[12:24] Daiyoin
    The Honnoji Temple Incident.
[13:28] Nobunaga
    Frolicking with the moon
    from the southern watchtower,
[13:38] Nobunaga
    I, too, will hide behind a convenient cloud,
    even before the moon.
[13:47] Nobunaga
    Compared to the transforming heavens,
[14:02] Nobunaga
    the human life of fifty years
    is but a dream, a mirage.
[14:22] Nobunaga
    Once one is born,
[14:28] Nobunaga
    is there anyone who will not die?
[14:34] Nobunaga
    Is there anyone who will not die?
[14:41] Nobunaga
    Is there anyone who will not die?
[15:02] Keiji
    So, it went to Honnoji...
[15:08] Keiji
    if that's the case, it's lost for good.
[15:12] Keiji
    Who'd imagine that Lord Nobunaga
[15:17] Keiji
    took it with him to the afterlife?
[15:20] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[15:21] Keiji
    The Jizo Bodhisattva was burned,
[15:24] Keiji
    and the curtains came down
    on Lord Ieyasu's schemes.
[15:28] Kanetsugu
    So it seems...
[15:30] Keiji
    What?
[15:31] Keiji
    That's not what happened?
[15:33] Kanetsugu
    Well, one unexpected thing led to another...
[15:44] Jirobo
    Show yourself.
[15:46] Jirobo
    Sagen.
[16:07] Sagen
    Jirobo.
[16:09] Sagen
    You cannot escape me.
[16:17] Jirobo
    How did you know I was here?
[16:20] Sagen
    There was a sculptor
    of Nara's Shukuin who said
[16:22] Sagen
    he had seen the Bodhisattva
    statue at Honnoji Temple...
[16:26] Sagen
    the day before the Honnoji Incident.
[16:31] Jirobo
    And?
[16:32] Sagen
    If it were hidden somewhere around here...
[16:35] Sagen
    I knew you'd show up eventually.
[16:40] Jirobo
    Too bad...
[16:42] Jirobo
    that Jizo Bodhisattva went up
    in flames with Lord Nobunaga.
[16:47] Sagen
    And you expect me to believe that?
[16:50] Jirobo
    It's a fact.
[16:53] Sagen
    In that case...
[16:56] Sagen
    we'll have to ask your body, once again.
[17:02] Sagen
    Hm?
[17:03] Jirobo
    Kill me.
[17:07] Jirobo
    I don't know where it is.
[17:09] Jirobo
    You don't know where it is.
[17:11] Jirobo
    No one knows where it is.
[17:16] Jirobo
    At least Uesugi is protected now.
[17:22] Sagen
    Damn you!
[17:26] Voice
    I know.
[17:29] Sagen
    What?
[17:30] Voice
    I know where the Jizo Bodhisattva is.
[17:35] Jirobo
    What?
[17:53] Sagen
    What the...
[17:54] Jirobo
    He's no ordinary old man.
[17:56] Jirobo
    He went completely undetected by us.
[17:59] Sagen
    Who are you?
[18:02] Man
    I'm the caretaker...
[18:08] Man
    of Lord Nobunaga's grave.
[18:13] Jirobo
    This...
[18:15] Jirobo
    is Lord Nobunaga's grave?
[18:22] Man
    Yeah.
[18:23] Man
    This is where his lordship died.
[18:26] Man
    There wasn't even a bone remaining of him.
[18:30] Man
    Could there be a more
    appropriate place for his grave?
[18:38] Sagen
    And?
[18:39] Sagen
    Where's the Jizo?
[18:43] Man
    I hid that Jizo in a specific place,
[18:48] Man
    by his lordship's command.
[18:50] Sagen
    What?
[18:53] Man
    That's right.
[18:54] Man
    I hid it in a cemetery,
[18:57] Man
    beneath a headstone.
[18:59] Sagen
    Then tell us.
[19:01] Man
    Sure.
[19:02] Man
    I'll tell you.
[19:07] Man
    First you, Jirobo.
[19:10] Man
    Lend me your ears.
[19:13] Jirobo
    What?
[19:24] Jirobo
    Oh... What was that...
[19:29] Man
    Don't worry. Sagen couldn't hear it.
[19:33] Jirobo
    Splendid skill.
[19:34] Jirobo
    That was the "hidden speech" technique.
[19:37] Sagen
    The "hidden speech" technique?
[19:39] Man
    Sagen.
[19:40] Man
    Now you lend me your ears.
[19:50] Sagen
    What is this...
[19:54] Sagen
    But, it's not enough information.
[19:57] Sagen
    What's the name on the headstone?
[20:03] Man
    I told it to Jirobo.
[20:10] Jirobo
    It seems he told you where the cemetery is...
[20:14] Jirobo
    and he told me the name on the headstone.
[20:20] Man
    In other words...
[20:22] Man
    if you two are joined,
[20:24] Man
    you'll easily find the Bodhisattva statue.
[20:29] Jirobo
    But if he knows the cemetery,
[20:32] Jirobo
    they could dig up each and every grave there.
[20:35] Man
    Do you think I'd tell him about
    some worthless cemetery like that?
[20:39] Man
    What do you say, Sagen?
[20:43] Man
    And you, too, Jirobo.
[20:45] Man
    You can't take the name on the
    headstone to your own grave, either.
[20:52] Man
    Because notwithstanding
    the kind of cemetery it is...
[20:54] Man
    there's a chance Sagen might go on a dig,
[20:57] Man
    and find the statue.
[21:00] Man
    Which would be a problem for you.
[21:11] Man
    The two of you better learn to get along.
[21:18] Sagen
    Damn you...
[21:20] Sagen
    such ridiculous mendacity.

[00:03] Nobunaga
    Out of everything in these times of civil war...
[00:07] Nobunaga
    Kenshin has always been my greatest fear.
[00:10] Nobunaga
    And to me, my most feared enemy,
    is also my truest friend.
[00:20] Nobunaga
    I am taking this to honor my friend.
SIGN    The Warrior's Place of Death
[02:22] Ieyasu
    I see...
[02:25] Ieyasu
    Lord Nobunaga took the Jizo Bodhisattva...
[02:31] Ii
    That Lord Nobunaga again.
[02:33] Ii
    He's a constant thorn in your side, Lord.
[02:37] Ieyasu
    It's worth it.
[02:38] Ieyasu
    It was Lord Nobunaga who inspired me
[02:41] Ieyasu
    to dream of national conquest.
[02:46] Ii
    That makes it all the more unbearable.
[02:49] Ii
    The nation would be in your hands
    if it weren't for Hideyoshi.
[02:58] Ieyasu
    Not yet. Not yet.
[03:00] Ieyasu
    Not yet. Not yet.
[03:02] Ieyasu
    The nation belongs to no one yet.
[03:08] Ii
    Wh-What?
[03:11] Hanzo
    Recently, the Chief Advisor
    has been wetting his bed.
[03:17] Ii
    W-W-Wetting his bed?
[03:32] Hideyoshi
    I've wet the bed.
[03:36] Hanzo
    I assume he has a kidney ailment.
[03:39] Hanzo
    You could say it's an unexpected ambush.
[03:42] Ii
    The Chief Advisor has a kidney ailment?
[03:47] Ieyasu
    The nation is obstinate...
[03:50] Ieyasu
    It constantly refuses to belong to one ruler.
[03:53] Ieyasu
    You have to fight to have longevity.
[03:59] Ii
    Lord.
[04:00] Ieyasu
    The nation will smile upon him...
[04:03] Ieyasu
    who has outlived all others.
[04:07] Ieyasu
    That's bitter.
[04:09] Ii
    Lord! Forgive me.
[04:11] Ii
    I was thinking you had
    given up on national conquest.
[04:14] Ii
    And all this time, Lord, you've been...
[04:16] Ieyasu
    Not yet.
[04:18] Ieyasu
    Not yet.
[04:23] Ieyasu
    Not yet.
[04:25] Ieyasu
    Not yet.
[04:27] Ieyasu
    My dream of national conquest
    is not yet fulfilled.
[04:32] Ieyasu
    Not yet.
[04:34] Ieyasu
    Not yet.
[04:37] Nar
    In fact, eight years later,
    Hideyoshi died at the age of 61.
[04:44] Nar
    But Ieyasu lived eighteen
     more years thereafter...
[04:49] Nar
    and became the absolute ruler of the nation.
[04:54] Keiji
    There you go again.
[04:55] Keiji
    Wait!
[04:56] Kanetsugu
    Hmm?
[04:57] Keiji
    What happened to the caretaker?
[04:59] Keiji
    The old man who appeared
    to Jirobo and Sagen,
[05:01] Keiji
    at the ruins of Honnoji Temple.
[05:04] Keiji
    Who the hell was he?
[05:07] Keiji
    I'm talking about that old man
[05:09] Keiji
    who said he hid the Jizo Bodhisattva
[05:11] Keiji
    by Lord Nobunaga's command.
[05:15] Keiji
    Tell me more about him.
[05:18] Kanetsugu
    Oh, yeah. I forgot.
[05:22] Kanetsugu
    Well,
[05:23] Kanetsugu
    he was an extremely unusual fellow.
[05:36] Jirobo
    Oh... what was that...
[05:45] Sagen
    What is this...
[05:51] Jirobo
    It seems he told you where the cemetery is...
[05:54] Jirobo
    and he told me the name on the headstone.
[06:00] Sagen
    Damn you...
[06:02] Sagen
    such ridiculous mendacity.
[06:04] Sagen
    I don't believe you!
[06:14] Man
    So you don't believe me, huh?
[06:17] Man
    In that case...
[06:21] Man
    How about now?
[06:31] Jirobo
    You are...
[06:43] Jirobo
    Th-That face...
[06:46] Sagen
    Lord Nobunaga's ninja...
[06:49] Sagen
    Ban Tarozaemon!
[06:52] Jirobo
    You were supposed to
    have died with Nobunaga,
[06:54] Jirobo
    in the Honnoji Temple incident!
[06:57] Sagen
    What's the meaning of these antics?
[07:04] Tarozaemon
    Don't you know?
[07:06] Tarozaemon
    This is Uesugi and Tokugawa's war.
[07:08] Tarozaemon
    Now what could be more
    entertaining than that?
[07:15] Tarozaemon
    Lord Nobunaga and I...
[07:19] Tarozaemon
    will enjoy this war together.
[07:35] Sakon
    So he gave the cemetery's location
     and the name on the headstone separately...
[07:39] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[07:40] Sakon
    And what become of the ninja, Jirobo?
[07:47] Sagen
    Don't bother.
[07:54] Kanetsugu
    Probably...
[07:56] Kanetsugu
    the two of them were at a stalemate.
[07:59] Kanetsugu
    And after he had
    White Cloud deliver this letter,
[08:02] Kanetsugu
    Sagen headed to the cemetery,
    and Jirobo went after him.
[08:18] Sakon
    I see...
[08:20] Sakon
    So that's how it was.
[08:24] Sakon
    Speaking of which, where is that fighter dog?
[08:30] Kanetsugu
    He couldn't help himself.
[08:32] Kanetsugu
    He must've gone after Jirobo.
[08:39] Sakon
    Farewell.
[08:41] Kanetsugu
    I wish I could have been
     more hospitable.
[08:44] Mosuke
    Yes.
[08:47] Kanetsugu
    This is sake from Echigo.
[08:49] Mosuke
    Please.
[08:50] Sakon
    I am grateful.
[08:52] Sakon
    Let us drink together next time.
[08:54] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[08:57] Mosuke
    Huh?
[09:05] Mosuke
    Who is that guy?
[09:08] Sakon
    Hand me the spear.
[09:12] Sakon
    I am familiar with these people.
[09:24] ---
    Above you!
[09:40] Sakon
    Hold on.
[09:42] Sakon
    That is not necessary.
[09:44] Mosuke
    Huh?
[09:45] Mosuke
    Why?
[09:52] Sakon
    You are in front of Uesugi's main encampment.
[09:54] Sakon
    You have behaved insolently.
[09:59] Sakon
    Get out. Now!
[10:13] Sakon
    Pardon me.
[10:25] Jirobo
    Such clear skies.
[10:28] Jirobo
    Perfect weather for traveling.
[10:31] Jirobo
    Don't you think so, Sagen-dono?
[10:35] Jirobo
    Huh?
[10:39] Sagen
    Don't talk loosely with me.
[10:41] Jirobo
    We're travel companions.
[10:43] Jirobo
    Like Tarozaemon suggested, let's get along.
[10:47] Sagen
    Are you trying to be funny?
[10:49] Jirobo
    Oh, not at all.
[10:51] Jirobo
    After all, you're guiding me
    to the Jizo's hiding place.
[10:55] Jirobo
    I'm grateful.
[10:59] Sagen
    In that case, look forward to it.
[11:01] Sagen
    I'll guide you straight to hell,
[11:03] Sagen
    and tear your loud mouth to shreds.
[11:11] Jirobo
    By the way, believers are making
    pilgrimages around here.
[11:16] Jirobo
    This road we're on is one of
    Saigoku's Thirty-three Holy Grounds.
SIGN    The
    Thirty-three
    Places
    Pilgrimage
[11:20] Jirobo
    This is the road to the Kishu
    domain's Kokawadera Temple.
[11:23] Jirobo
    Maybe we can do the "Thirty-three
    Places Pilgrimage, too.
[11:23] Jirobo
    The
    Thirty-three
    Places
    Pilgrimage
[11:26] Jirobo
    What do you say?
[11:29] Jirobo
    The great sanctums
    of Kishudera Temple must've been
[11:33] Jirobo
    burned to the ground in the
    Chief Advisor's attack on Kishu.
[11:35] Jirobo
    Poor Jizo-sama,
    to be at a cemetery like that.
[11:39] Jirobo
    What do you think, Sagen-dono?
[11:42] Sagen
    What makes you think
    I'm going to that cemetery?
[11:45] Jirobo
    Oh? Is that so?
[11:47] Jirobo
    In that case, further ahead...
[11:50] Jirobo
    is Mount Koya.
[11:58] Jirobo
    If we're headed to Mount Koya,
    we're in trouble.
[12:01] Jirobo
    That place is associated with Kobo Daishi.
[12:04] Jirobo
    They say there are 20,000
    to 30,000 graves there.
[12:07] Jirobo
    You can search and search,
    and never see the end of it.
[12:12] Sagen
    You sure talk a lot, Jirobo.
[12:17] Jirobo
    So, is it Mount Koya?
[12:19] Sagen
    What is?
[12:20] Jirobo
    You know, the grave with Jizo
    Bodhisattva buried in it.
[12:31] Nar
    There was a reason why Jirobo
    did a lot of talking.
[12:35] Nar
    He was carefully watching for clues,
[12:40] Nar
    by observing Sagen's
    reactions and facial expressions.
[12:45] Jirobo
    So Mount Koya it is.
[12:48] Sagen
    Why do you say that?
[12:50] Jirobo
    Your eyes twitched.
[12:52] Jirobo
    Upward, to the right.
[12:57] Sagen
    You bastard...
[12:59] Sagen
    So you think you've got
    a read on me, do you?
[13:07] Jirobo
    Thanks for your help, Sagen-dono!
[13:14] Jirobo
    This can't be...
[13:17] Jirobo
    They're Iga ninjas!
[13:34] Sagen
    It's your turn to go first.
[13:37] Sagen
    You be the guide.
[13:40] Sagen
    Because if you don't,
    these three hundred Iga ninjas
[13:44] Sagen
    will dig up each and every grave,
[13:46] Sagen
    tens of thousands of them, if need be.
[14:34] Kanetsugu
    Sakon-dono?
[14:36] Mosuke
    And those three men from yesterday.
[14:39] Sakon
    These men...
[14:42] Sakon
    have requested me to relieve them.
[14:44] Kanetsugu
    Relieve them?
[14:46] Sakon
    They say they are going
    to perform harakiri here.
[14:51] Sakon
    They are men of the Tsutsui clan,
[14:53] Sakon
    of the guardian Daimyo of Yamato.
[14:56] Kanetsugu
    Of the Tsutsui clan...
[14:58] Nar
    Shima Sakon was once a vassal of that clan.
[15:03] Nar
    After the death of his lord,
[15:06] Nar
    he had differences with
    his successor, Tsutsui Sadatsugu,
[15:08] Nar
    and thus resigned his post.
[15:10] Nar
    This was a part of his personal history.
[15:13] Sakon
    When I left the Tsutsui clan,
[15:17] Sakon
    they sent assassins after me,
    and I killed them all.
[15:21] Sakon
    These three are the sons of those men.
[15:25] Mosuke
    So they were on a vendetta?
[15:28] Sakon
    That is correct.
[15:29] Sakon
    These men are forbidden to return home...
[15:31] Sakon
    if they do not kill me first.
[15:35] Mosuke
    The so-called warrior's code of honor.
[15:38] Sakon
    They are the sons of men
    who were my friends at one time.
[15:44] Sakon
    If I didn't have duties still remaining,
[15:48] Sakon
    I would gladly let them take vengeance on me.
[15:51] Sakon
    However, I still have things left to do.
[15:55] Kanetsugu
    So that kind of thing...
[15:56] Kanetsugu
    must have been going on for years.
[15:59] Sakon
    But all they have to do is wait.
[16:03] Sakon
    Then they can kill me.
[16:06] Sakon
    It's the least I can do for my friends.
[16:09] Kanetsugu
    Sakon-dono.
[16:11] Kazuma
    But we have been after you for three years...
[16:14] Kazuma
    We have tried challenging you
    more than ten times already, Shima-dono.
[16:18] Shinnojo
    And yet, you have repelled us
    every time, and thoroughly.
[16:21] Senbei
    We should be dead many times over by now.
[16:25] Kazuma et al.
    Thus, you must kill us, Shima-dono.
[16:28] Kazuma et al.
    We deserve it.
[16:34] Mosuke
    Those guys...
    Their logic is crazy.
[16:37] Kanetsugu
    However... They mean what they say.
[16:41] Kanetsugu
    There is no trace
    of lie or deceit in their eyes.
[16:45] Kanetsugu
    And that's the problem.
[16:49] Sakon
    Oh...
[16:51] Sakon
    I see you are on your way somewhere.
[16:53] Sakon
    Pardon me for diverting you.
[16:56] Sakon
    But let me ask you this.
[16:57] Sakon
    Where are you, a person
     of authority of the Uesugi clan,
[17:00] Sakon
    going on horseback in the rain?
[17:03] Kanetsugu
    For the reason you are aware, Hattori Hanzo
[17:07] Kanetsugu
    has mobilized a large number of ninjas in Iga.
[17:11] Kanetsugu
    Approximately three hundred of them.
[17:16] Kanetsugu
    My friend, Jirobo,
    will confront them all alone.
[17:23] Sakon
    You are going to his aid?
[17:25] Kanetsugu
    It would go against righteousness
    to leave a friend in a lurch.
[17:28] Sakon
    But that's two against three hundred.
[17:31] Sakon
    It's recklessness.
[17:33] Kanetsugu
    "If you fight to die, you will live."
[17:36] Kanetsugu
    "If you fight to live, you will assuredly die."
[17:39] Kanetsugu
    Those are the words of Lord Kenshin.
[17:43] Nar
    Sakon knew from his smile,
[17:47] Nar
    that this man was ready to die.
[17:51] Nar
    Ieyasu's plot to seek the Jizo Bodhisattva
[17:53] Nar
    would be rendered meaningless
[17:55] Nar
    if Kanetsugu were dead.
[17:59] Nar
    The loss of his one life
    would save all of Echigo.
[18:03] Nar
    There was more than ample reason
[18:05] Nar
    for Kanetsugu to expedite his death.
[18:10] Sakon
    Well, well...
[18:12] Sakon
    Ieyasu would never guess
    you would get involved.
[18:15] Kanetsugu
    That's what makes it interesting.
[18:20] Mosuke
    W-Wait just a second.
[18:22] Mosuke
    I'm here, too, you know.
[18:23] Mosuke
    I promised Milord here,
    that I'll be his spearbearer to the death.
[18:27] Mosuke
    So it's three against three hundred.
[18:34] Sakon
    In that case, I cannot afford
    to miss your death flower.
[18:39] Sakon
    I shall respectfully witness
    the scattering of its petals.
[18:43] Sakon
    Thus... Let me go with you.
[18:48] Kanetsugu
    Do as you please.
[18:50] Sakon
    I have decided.
[18:53] Sakon
    But first this...
[18:55] Sakon
    As you all have heard, I must hurry off.
[19:01] Sakon
    I don't have time to do you one at a time.
[19:14] Sakon
    All three of you,
    stick out your necks.
[19:18] Sakon
    Stick them out!
[19:55] Kazuma
    Wh-What...
[19:59] Sakon
    All of you have died many times over.
[20:02] Sakon
    You have no more
    obligations left in this world.
[20:06] Sakon
    The Tsutsui clan, your vendetta...
    Cast them all away.
[20:10] Sakon
    Come and be my aid in battle instead.
[20:14] Kazuma
    You mean the battle you were talking about,
    against three hundred Iga ninjas?
[20:19] Shinnojo
    In comparison to their number...
[20:21] Senbei
    we don't stand a chance...
[20:24] Sakon
    That makes six men.
[20:27] Sakon
    And our commander is...
[20:31] Kanetsugu
    I am Naoe Yamashiro no Kami Kanetsugu.
[20:35] Kazuma
    Wh-What?
[20:37] Kazuma
    The premier of Uesugi!
[20:42] Sakon
    It is Naoe-dono and myself.
    Are you dissatisfied?
[20:45] Kazuma
    Oh, n-no...
[20:48] Nar
    The young men's hearts trembled.
[20:52] Nar
    It would be a reckless battle.
[20:54] Nar
    They would assuredly lose.
[20:58] Nar
    However, they could die together
    with two civil war heroes.
[21:03] Nar
    They could think of no better
    place of death for a warrior.
[21:10] Sakon
    Let warriors never err
    in their place of death.
[21:13] Sakon
    Our place of death is the battlefield.
[21:18] Kazuma et al
    Shima-dono.
[21:42] Kanetsugu
    Shima-dono...
[21:45] Kanetsugu
    You are truly...
[21:49] Sakon
    Naoe-dono, this too is destiny.
[21:53] Sakon
    We are coming to aid you in battle.

    All three of you,
    stick out your necks.
[00:05] Sakon
    Stick them out!
[00:20] Keiji
    So he chopped off their heads?

    Then you all went after
    the three hundred Iga ninjas?
[01:02] Kanetsugu
    That was...
[01:06] Kanetsugu
    the beginning of the battle, for the six of us.
SIGN    To Mount Koya We Go!
[03:02] Kanetsugu
    By the way...
[03:04] Kanetsugu
    Sakon-dono. Why come to our aid?
[03:08] Sakon
    As you know, Uesugi
    keeps Tokugawa in check.
[03:13] Sakon
    Hence, I can't afford for you to die.
[03:15] Kanetsugu
    However, the nation is already
[03:18] Kanetsugu
    under the Chief Advisor's rule.
[03:20] Sakon
    And his lordship is the problem.
[03:25] Sakon
    His lordship has a kidney ailment.
[03:28] Kanetsugu
    A kidney ailment?
[03:31] Sakon
    It's getting worse by the day.
[03:35] Sakon
    He probably does not
    have long to live.
[03:39] Kanetsugu
    Hm...
[03:46] Kanetsugu
    Sakon-dono.
[03:49] Kanetsugu
    This is what you said when you
[03:52] Kanetsugu
    hacked the topknots off those men:
[03:54] Sakon
    If I didn't have duties still remaining,
[03:56] Sakon
    I would gladly let them
    take vengeance on me.
[03:58] Sakon
    However, I still have things left to do.
[04:02] Kanetsugu
    What are those duties?
[04:05] Sakon
    They pertain to a dream of mine,
[04:07] Sakon
    which never came true in the Tsutsui clan.
[04:10] Kanetsugu
    A dream?
[04:11] Sakon
    I presume you, too,
    have the same dream,
[04:15] Sakon
    which you keep hidden deep in your heart.
[04:17] Kanetsugu
    Me?
[04:20] Kanetsugu
    Depending on the outcome
    of the Chief Advisor's ailment...
[04:28] Sakon
    Here's to you, the strategist.
    The fate of the nation
[04:31] Sakon
    is in your hands, with a single battle.
[04:43] Sakon
    Laugh at this old man
    for waxing sentimental.
[04:52] Kanetsugu
    How could I...
[04:55] Kanetsugu
    This is the best sake I've had in a while.
[05:10] Keiji
    I see...
[05:12] Keiji
    the strategist in whose hands
    lies the fate of the nation...
[05:15] Keiji
    you two shared a common dream.
[05:18] Kanetsugu
    Yes...
[05:20] Kanetsugu
    and the dream eventually did come true.
[05:24] Kanetsugu
    However...
[05:26] Kanetsugu
    being caught up in that dream,
[05:30] Kanetsugu
    I thoughtlessly didn't sense
[05:34] Kanetsugu
    the imminent sadness approaching.
[05:53] Kanetsugu
    What's going on?
[05:59] Senbei
    Wh-Wh-What the...
[06:01] Hanada
    A monster!
[06:16] Sakon
    Th-This is...
[06:18] Mosuke
    M-Milord, it's White Cloud...
[06:21] Kanetsugu
    What happened?
[06:24] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo.
[06:30] Mosuke
    Jirobo.
[06:43] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo.
[06:45] Mosuke
    Are you all right, Jirobo?
[06:47] Jirobo
    N-Never mind me...
[06:50] Jirobo
    White Cloud needs care...
[07:00] Kanetsugu
    Oh, no...
[07:03] Kanetsugu
    What happened?
[07:06] Jirobo
    But...
[07:10] Kanetsugu
    Don't worry about him. You may speak.
[07:12] Kanetsugu
    This is Shima Sakon-dono.
[07:14] Kanetsugu
    He knows everything.
[07:20] Jirobo
    In that case...
[07:25] Sagen
    Jirobo.
[07:29] Sagen
    I'll tell you where we're headed.
[07:33] Sagen
    As you've guessed,
    the Jizo is at Mount Koya.
[07:39] Sagen
    But before we go, you'll tell
    us the name on the headstone.
[07:44] Jirobo
    You just don't get it, do you?
[07:47] Jirobo
    You can turn heaven and earth upside down,
[07:49] Jirobo
    but I still won't tell you the name.
[07:52] Sagen
    No.
[07:53] Sagen
    You will tell us, like it or not.
[07:56] Jirobo
    Not a chance!
[08:05] Sagen
    Bastard!
[08:06] Sagen
    You won't get away!
[08:34] Sagen
    Don't kill him! Capture him alive!
[08:52] Sagen
    As I expected, there he is.
[08:54] Sagen
    But I'm ready for you this time.
[09:00] Jirobo
    What?
[09:02] Sagen
    Fire!
[09:08] Jirobo
    White Cloud!
[09:24] Jirobo
    Those bastards...
[09:25] Jirobo
    were armed in case
    White Cloud showed up.
[09:33] Jirobo
    But he...
[09:37] Jirobo
    even after the barrage of bullets...
[09:42] Jirobo
    He carried me here...
[09:44] Jirobo
    and kept running,
[09:46] Jirobo
    all the way from near Mount Koya.
[09:49] Sakon
    What?
[09:50] Sakon
    All the way from Mount Koya?
[09:53] Jirobo
    That's where the Jizo Bodhisattva is...
[09:59] Kanetsugu
    I see...
[10:23] Kanetsugu
    White Cloud.
[10:25] Kanetsugu
    You have done splendidly.
[10:30] Jirobo
    Hey, White Cloud.
[10:33] Jirobo
    Isn't that great?
[10:35] Jirobo
    Milord has praised you.
[10:44] Jirobo
    Good.
[10:46] Jirobo
    You are happy?
[10:49] Jirobo
    I am happy, too, White Cloud.
[10:55] Kanetsugu
    You...
[10:59] Mosuke
    You guys probably think he's just a dog...
[11:08] Mosuke
    but he's family to us.
[11:14] Mosuke
    I'll never forget when
    he was a tiny puppy this big.
[11:21] Mosuke
    His mother was killed by a bear...
[11:32] Mosuke
    But he didn't run.
[11:35] Mosuke
    He stood guard to try protect his mother.
[12:07] Mosuke
    Milord was struck by the dog's
    filial duty to his mother...
[12:14] Mosuke
    and came to his aid.
[12:20] Mosuke
    However...
[12:27] Mosuke & Jirobo
    Milord!
[12:28] Kanetsugu
    It's all right.
[12:32] Kanetsugu
    It's a war-torn world.
[12:35] Kanetsugu
    He's got the right spirit for survival.
[12:37] Mosuke
    Milord said he's a compassionate
    and courageous dog...
[12:41] Mosuke
    and decided to make him a vassal.
[12:45] Mosuke
    And then...
[12:46] Mosuke
    and then...
[12:48] Mosuke
    White Cloud was always with us...
[12:50] Mosuke
    in every battle...
[12:58] Jirobo
    Milord...
[12:59] Jirobo
    will you let me care for this dog?
[13:03] Jirobo
    I've been wanting to train a ninja dog.
[13:08] Kanetsugu
    A ninja dog?
[13:10] Kanetsugu
    I like it.
[13:12] Kanetsugu
    All right, Jirobo.
[13:13] Kanetsugu
    You can care for this dog.
[13:17] Jirobo
    For starters, he should have a name.
[13:19] Kanetsugu
    Hm...
[13:21] Kanetsugu
    Well, then.
[13:27] Kanetsugu
    Look at this guy.
[13:29] Kanetsugu
    He looks like that white cloud.
[13:33] Kanetsugu
    Thus shall you be named...
[13:36] Kanetsugu
    White Cloud!
[13:54] Jirobo
    White Cloud...
[14:20] Kanetsugu
    White Cloud.
[14:23] Kanetsugu
    This giant tree is your headstone.
[14:27] Jirobo
    Perfect for you... For your giant body.
[14:33] Kanetsugu
    This giant tree overlooks the road
     tying Echigo and the capital together.
[14:40] Kanetsugu
    We'll always pass by it
    on our way to the capital.
[14:44] Kanetsugu
    We can see him every time we go there.
[14:48] Jirobo
    You won't have to be lonesome here...
[15:09] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo.
[15:11] Kanetsugu
    It's off to battle now.
[15:13] Kanetsugu
    We must avenge White Cloud.
[15:17] Jirobo
    Milord...
[15:22] Jirobo
    Yes!
[15:25] Kanetsugu
    Get ready.
[15:27] Kanetsugu
    To Mount Koya we go!
[15:48] Ninja
    Look at all of these headstones.
[15:58] Sagen
    We'll start digging up the graves
    when the monks are asleep.
[16:01] Ninja
    Yes.
[16:03] Sagen
    Though we couldn't get
    Jirobo to divulge the name
[16:05] Sagen
    on the headstone...
[16:07] Sagen
    we can still find it,
    if we all work together.
[16:12] Ninja
    Sagen-sama.
[16:13] Sagen
    Hm?
[16:15] Sagen
    What is it?
[16:16] Ninja
    I have word that Jirobo
    is headed here, with others.
[16:22] Sagen
    I would've guessed he'd return with aid.
[16:26] Sagen
    How many of them?
[16:27] Sagen
    A hundred?
[16:28] Sagen
    Two hundred?
[16:30] Sagen
    Or is it a thousand?
[16:32] Ninja
    Well, counting Jirobo...
[16:36] Ninja
    there are seven of them.
[16:37] Sagen
    Seven?
[16:38] Sagen
    Are you kidding?
[16:40] Ninja
    According to report,
    the premier of Echigo's Uesugi,
[16:45] Ninja
    Naoe Kanetsugu, is among them.
[16:47] Sagen
    Wh-What?
[16:52] Sagen
    Kanetsugu himself?
[17:01] Sagen
    Hm...
[17:03] Ninja
    Trouble, Sagen-sama!
[17:06] Sagen
    What?
[17:07] Sagen
    What now?
[17:10] Sagen
    What is that?
[17:17] Keiji
    That must've surprised Sagen.
[17:22] Kanetsugu
    It was my secret strategy
    against the three hundred Iga ninjas.
[17:29] Nar
    Kanetsugu's secret strategy...
[17:32] Nar
    First, the party split in two
    in front of Mount Koya.
[17:41] Nar
    And the place where Sakon
    went was the key...
SIGN    Ogo's residence
[17:47] Mokujiki Ogo
    Well, well...
SIGN    Mokujiki Ogo
[17:51] Nar
    Mokujiki Ogo...
[17:54] Nar
    an elderly monk who,
    during Hideyoshi's attack on Mount Koya
[17:58] Nar
    in 1587, miraculously saved Mount Koya
[18:01] Nar
    by peaceful negotiation,
    as a representative of the mountain.
[18:06] Nar
    He subsequently served Toyotomi
[18:10] Nar
    and held the position of power
    over matters on the mountain.
[18:15] Ogo
    So Shima-dono, you,
    the Chief Retainer of Ishida-sama,
[18:20] Ogo
    have come all the way to Mount Koya. Why?
[18:24] Sakon
    I will create somewhat
    of a commotion on the mountain...
[18:28] Sakon
    I wanted your permission.
[18:34] Ogo
    Oh...
[18:35] Ogo
    What do you intend to do?
[18:42] Sakon
    Please post this on bulletins.
[18:49] Ogo
    Well, well...
[18:53] Sakon
    Will you accept my request?
[18:54] Ogo
    Of course.
[18:56] Ogo
    After all, it is the request
    of Yamato's Major Counselor.
[19:11] Ogo
    The Major Counselor has interesting ideas...
[19:15] Nar
    The Major Counselor of Yamato...
[19:18] Nar
    He managed all of the political
    dealings during Toyotomi's reign.
[19:21] Nar
    He was by birth and by reputation
    Hideyoshi's right-hand man,
[19:25] Nar
    his actual brother, Toyotomi Hidenaga.
[19:29] Nar
    Thus, Ogo had no qualms...
[19:34] Nar
    What was it that transpired
    from the bulletins?
[19:40] Sagen
    Wh-What the...
[19:54] Ninja
    How many of them are there?
[19:56] Ninja
    A thousand?
[19:57] Ninja
    Two thousand?
[19:59] Sagen
    I know what this is.
[20:00] Sagen
    Kanetsugu has planned
[20:01] Sagen
    to mingle with the crowd
    and dig up the Jizo grave.
[20:06] Messenger Ninja
    But there are only three hundred of us.
[20:09] Messenger Ninja
    It would be impossible
    to keep an eye on all of them.
[20:12] Sagen
    But why are these farmers
    gathered together?
[20:15] Messenger Ninja 2
    Sagen-sama.
[20:16] Sagen
    Hm?
[20:17] Messenger Ninja 2
    This.
[20:20] Kanetsugu
    Mount Koya is
    the paradise of Maitreya.
[20:23] Kanetsugu
    The many spirits who have passed
    in the Battle of Odawara
[20:25] Kanetsugu
    are coming to pay homage to Daishi.
[20:28] Kanetsugu
    Thus to prepare this holy ground,
[20:31] Kanetsugu
    I command you to clean
    the Okunoin Temple.
[20:34] Kanetsugu
    For each of you who
    participates in this good deed,
[20:37] Kanetsugu
    there will be a reward of 100 mon.
[20:42] Kanetsugu
    "How blessed it is.
    Daishi is still among us,
[20:46] Kanetsugu
    even in the crags of Mount Koya."
[20:52] Kanetsugu
    Naoe Yamashiro no Kami Kanetsugu.
[20:57] Sagen
    What in the...
[20:59] Nar
    Sagen then realized, that though
    he had the unquestionable
[21:03] Nar
    advantage of three hundred
    Iga ninjas backing him,
[21:07] Nar
    he had overvalued the idea of quantity...
[21:11] Nar
    Indeed, as they say:
[21:13] Nar
    "Those who rely on quantity,
[21:16] Nar
    will drown in arrogance and quantity."
[21:18] Sagen
    So this is Naoe Kanetsugu!
[21:25] People
    What a blessing.
[21:26] People
    What a blessing.
[21:26] People
    100 mon just for cleaning!
[21:29] People
    What a happy occasion!
[21:31] Kanetsugu
    It's more than worth it!
[21:33] Kanetsugu
    Endeavor in cleaning,
[21:36] Kanetsugu
    for the sake of the many spirits and Daishi!
[21:46] People
    This is a boon from Daishi.
[21:48] People
    What a blessing. What a blessing.
[21:50] People
    100 mon! 100 mon!
[21:50] Senbei
    Wh-What an incredible sight.
[21:52] People
    It's a boon!
[21:53] Kazuma
    So this is Naoe Kanetsugu's style of battle...
[21:54] People
    What a blessing. What a blessing.
[21:57] Hanada
    It's...
[21:58] Hanada
    it's like a festival.

SIGN    The Endless Story Told of Men
[01:37] Keiji
    I see.
[01:39] Keiji
    So the site was packed
    with farmers of Mount Koya.
[01:42] Keiji
    That must've been a shock to Sagen.
[01:47] Kanetsugu
    Our enemy numbered three hundred.
[01:49] Kanetsugu
    "Those who rely on quantity
    will drown in quantity."
[02:04] Ninja
    We could just gun them all down.
[02:06] Sagen
    No. Look at that.
[02:10] Ninja
    That is...
[02:13] Sagen
    That's right.
[02:14] Sagen
    That's Chief Vassal Ishida
    Mitsunari's Shima Sakon,
[02:17] Sagen
    assistant of Chief Advisor Hideyoshi.
[02:24] Ninja
    How could this be?
[02:26] Ninja
    What's a man like him
    doing in the commotion?
[02:29] Sagen
    Listen carefully.
[02:30] Sagen
    Mount Koya is holy ground
    protected by Hideyoshi.
[02:34] Sagen
    If we act rashly,
    we might fuel the fire
[02:36] Sagen
    of the war between
    Toyotomi and Tokugawa...
[02:41] Sagen
    We have only one recourse.
[02:47] Keiji
    Sagen's panic was understandable.
[02:50] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[02:53] Kanetsugu
    The black, star-shaped marks on my eyes
[02:58] Kanetsugu
    were copied into gem eyes,
[03:01] Kanetsugu
    and a letter written proving
    my connection to Lord Kenshin, reading:
SIGN    Our child is coming.
    Masatora
[03:05] Kanetsugu
    "Our child is coming.
    Masatora."
[03:08] Kanetsugu
    They were hidden within a Jizo Bodhisattva.
[03:15] Keiji
    If that were revealed to the nation,
[03:18] Keiji
    a fight would have ensued
    regarding Uesgui's successorship.
[03:21] Keiji
    Factions would have been formed
    in favor of Kagekatsu-dono
[03:24] Keiji
    or Kanetsugu-dono. The nation
    would have been split in half.
[03:27] Kanetsugu
    That's why the fate of Uesugi
    was riding on Mount Koya.

[03:41] Sakon
    Please perform a service to pacify the spirits.
[03:45] Ogo
    Well, well.
[03:49] Ogo
    I shall be more than happy to oblige.

    In the name of Vairocana...

    Hey! Where's Hanada?
[04:24] Shinnojo
    You're right. Where is he?
[04:39] Hanada
    Shima-dono.
[04:40] Sakon
    Hanada.
[04:44] Hanada
    I was caught off guard...
    by the Iga ninjas.
[04:47] All
    Hanada!
[04:51] Senbei
    Th-This is...
[04:53] Shinnojo
    What is this...
[04:55] Hanada
    N-Naoe-dono.
[04:59] Hanada
    They gave a message...
[05:02] Hanada
    they said they've given up
    on the Jizo Bodhisattva...
[05:05] Hanada
    but they will kill everyone instead.
[05:13] Sagen
    As of this moment, I am
    dissociating myself from Tokugawa.
[05:16] Sagen
    As a former vassal of Takeda,
[05:18] Sagen
    I will now fight against Uesugi.
[05:22] Sagen
    Toyotomi should have no complaints.
[05:26] Sagen
    I'm taking you on, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[05:36] Sakon
    Hanada.
[05:37] Senbei & Shinnojo
    Hey!
[05:40] Hanada
    Th-This festival...
[05:42] Hanada
    I wanted to see it through...
[05:47] Hanada
    to the very end.
[05:59] Sakon
    Hanada.
[06:07] Shinnojo
    Hanada.
[06:08] Jirobo
    Milord.
[06:09] Jirobo
    Our enemy is desperate.
[06:14] Jirobo
    I know where the grave is.
[06:16] Jirobo
    Bishop Ogo confirmed it for me.
[06:20] Kanetsugu
    All we have to do now is dig
    up the Bodhisattva statue,
[06:24] Kanetsugu
    and quickly toss it into the ritual fire.
[06:26] Kanetsugu
    Then this case will be closed.
[06:29] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[06:31] Jirobo
    Due to Ban Tarozaemon,
[06:35] Jirobo
    the situation became unduly complicated.
[06:37] Jirobo
    He's probably watching it
    all unfold, from somewhere.
[06:47] Kanetsugu
    And I, too, can see.
[06:49] Kanetsugu
    I see a vision of Lord Nobunaga.
[06:54] Kanetsugu
    And this is what he says:
[06:56] Kanetsugu
    "Overcome this battle
    with splendid fortitude."
[07:06] Kanetsugu
    In that case...
[07:18] Kanetsugu
    We have one thing left to do...
[07:20] Kanetsugu
    to head to the Jizo's grave!
[07:31] Ogo
    Shima-dono.
[07:33] Ogo
    Have no worry.
[07:35] Ogo
    No matter what happens
    on our mountain now...
[07:38] Ogo
    We will pretend to not see.
[07:41] Sakon
    Yes...
[07:42] Sakon
    It seems this battle has escalated...
[07:46] Sakon
    It is now beyond our control.
[07:48] Ogo
    Well, well.
[07:56] Sakon
    I must go.
[07:58] Jirobo
    Please wait.
[08:11] Sakon
    They were disguised as farmers?
[08:15] Jirobo
    Yes.
[08:16] Jirobo
    We did amass several thousand farmers,
[08:19] Jirobo
    but the three hundred Iga ninjas
    used it as an opportunity
[08:23] Jirobo
    to hide among them.
[08:31] Shinnojo & Senbei
    Na...
[08:33] Shinnojo & Senbei
    Naoe-dono...
[08:43] Shinnojo
    Naoe-dono, is something wrong?
[08:47] Kanetsugu
    Well, what the hell.
[08:51] Kanetsugu
    Let's dance a little.
[09:01] Shinnojo
    D-Dance?
[09:03] Senbei
    But they're mingled with the farmers.
[09:07] Kanetsugu
    So what.
[09:09] Kanetsugu
    It'll be more fun in front of assassins.
[09:13] Shinnojo; Senbei
    Wh... Wh-What?
[09:18] Kanetsugu
    Mosuke.
[09:19] Kanetsugu
    Blow the conch shell.
[09:21] Mosuke
    Yes.
[10:25] Sakon
    Such magnificent gallantry.
[10:30] Mosuke
    But I can sense it.
[10:33] Jirobo
    Yeah.
[10:36] Jirobo
    The painfully menacing
    presence of the assassins.
[10:47] Sagen
    That Naoe Kanetsugu...
[10:50] Sagen
    is certainly an unusual fellow.
[10:53] Sagen
    But know this.
[10:56] Sagen
    That dance of yours will be your last.
[11:08] Kanetsugu
    "This is my wish..."
[11:12] Kanetsugu
    "To die beneath the flowers..."
[11:15] Kanetsugu
    "in spring..."
[11:21] Mosuke
    What is that?
[11:24] Jirobo
    That's a poem by Saigyo.
[11:29] Kanetsugu
    "in the second month..."
[12:05] Kanetsugu
    "During the full moon."
[12:09] Farmers
    During the full moon.
[12:13] Impostor farmers
    Wh-What the?
[12:14] Impostor farmers
    What?
[12:15] Impostor farmers
    What's going on?
[12:16] ---
    What was that?
[12:27] Impostor farmer
    Wh-What?
[12:29] Impostor farmer
    Full moon?
[12:42] Shinnojo
    Wh-What happened?
[12:44] Jirobo
    "During the full moon" was the signal.
[12:47] Sakon
    It's a common strategy on the battlefield...
[12:49] Sakon
    for ferreting out enemies
    mingling with allies.
[12:53] Shinnojo
    B-But they're just farmers.
[12:56] Shinnojo
    How can they fight so well?
[12:58] Sakon
    No.
[12:58] Sakon
    They're not farmers.
[13:04] Sakon
    They are soldiers of the
    Chief Advisor's brother,
[13:06] Sakon
    Toyotomi Hidenaga,
    Yamato's Major Counselor.
[13:12] Sakon
    They're his infantrymen,
    well seasoned in battle.
[13:18] Sagen
    I-Incredible!
[13:20] Sagen
    We've been outmaneuvered!
[13:23] Sakon
    The designer of this brilliant plan...
[13:29] Sakon
    is none other than the leading
    chief vassal of Echigo's Uesugi...
[13:32] Sakon
    Naoe Yamashiro no Kami Kanetsugu
[13:42] Senbei
    We will join you!
[13:44] Senbei
    This is our place of death!
[13:49] Kanetsugu
    Mosuke!
[13:50] Kanetsugu
    Dig up the Jizo now!
[13:53] Mosuke
    Got it!
[13:55] Sagen
    What?
[14:04] Jirobo
    You can turn heaven and earth upside down,
[14:06] Jirobo
    but I still won't tell you the name.
[14:11] Sagen
    I get it. It's an unmarked grave!
[14:15] Mosuke
    Dig right there.
[14:18] Iga Ninja
    Bastard!
[14:19] Iga Ninja
    Your dare mess with us...
[14:27] Jirobo
    Nice try.
[14:38] Sakon
    H-How could this happen?
[14:42] Mosuke
    I found it!
[14:44] Mosuke
    I found it!
[14:46] Mosuke
    It's the real thing.
[14:49] Mosuke
    The black, star-shaped marks
[14:51] Mosuke
    are the same as Milord's!
[14:56] Kanetsugu
    All right, hurry!
[14:58] Kanetsugu
    Throw the Jizo in the fire!
[14:59] Mosuke
    Yes!
[15:09] Kanetsugu
    Mosuke!
[15:18] Jirobo
    He finally showed up...
[15:20] Jirobo
    Shimosaka Sagen.
[15:24] Sagen
    You did a fine job.
[15:27] Sagen
    It appears there's not one Iga ninja
[15:30] Sagen
    remaining, out of three hundred.
[15:34] Sagen
    But that's not important.
[15:38] Sagen
    I have but one aim...
[15:41] Sagen
    to get that Jizo Bodhisattva...
[15:45] Sagen
    and you, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[15:51] Jirobo
    Milord, let me finish him off.
[15:53] Kanetsugu
    No.
[15:54] Kanetsugu
    I must avenge White Cloud.
[15:57] Kanetsugu
    I will take you on.
[16:01] Sagen
    I'll take you to hell with me.
[16:08] Sagen
    I may have only one arm...
[16:10] Sagen
    but I'll match my death with yours...
[16:12] Sagen
    My sword shall not fail!
[16:22] Sagen
    He doesn't know I have a left arm,
[16:24] Sagen
    and that will be his undoing.
[16:26] Sagen
    Go ahead! Slash at me with your sword!
[16:31] Sagen
    At which time...
[16:59] Sagen
    So you're giving me a chance!
[17:06] Sagen
    What?
[17:15] Jirobo
    S-Sagen has a left arm!
[17:33] Sagen
    Why?
[17:35] Sagen
    Why did you draw the iron fan
[17:37] Sagen
    and not the sword?
[17:38] Sagen
    You were supposed to draw the sword!
[17:41] Kanetsugu
    I could hear her.
[17:44] Kanetsugu
    She was screaming at me:
[17:46] Kanetsugu
    "Don't draw your sword!
    Draw the iron fan!"
[17:48] Kanetsugu
    I heard her voice.
[17:52] Jirobo
    Wh-Whose?
[17:55] Mosuke
    It's Taehime-sama.
[17:58] Mosuke
    It must be Taehime-sama.
[18:04] Sagen
    Taehime, did you say?
[18:07] Kanetsugu
    It seems my fate won't
    have me die just yet.
[18:16] Sagen
    Who knew you had that kind of aid...
[18:19] Sagen
    I am no match for you, after all...
[18:25] Kanetsugu
    Sagen!
[18:34] Sagen
    I was so close to defeating
    the Uesugi nation.
[18:39] Sagen
    Jirobo...
[18:42] Sagen
    Finish me!
[18:43] Jirobo
    Sagen.
[18:51] Sagen
    You and I are old ninjas...
[18:54] Sagen
    I ask you this favor of mercy.
[19:07] Kanetsugu
    Sagen.
[19:09] Kanetsugu
    You...
[19:11] Sagen
    What a good way to die...
[19:15] Sagen
    This is, indeed...
[19:19] Sagen
    a ninja's cherished ambition!
[19:29] Keiji
    I see...
[19:31] Keiji
    so Sagen was ready to die.
[19:36] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[19:37] Kanetsugu
    And...
[19:40] Kanetsugu
    so was the Jizo Bodhisattva.
[19:45] Sakon
    And now...
[19:47] Sakon
    this battle has come to an end.
[19:49] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[19:51] Kanetsugu
    However...
[19:54] Kanetsugu
    You can never let your guard down
[19:56] Kanetsugu
    with Tokugawa Ieyasu.
[20:02] Sakon
    By the way...
[20:04] Sakon
    was Lord Kenshin's letter
    in the Bodhisattva statue?
[20:08] Kanetsugu
    Yes. It certainly was.
[20:13] Sakon
    Th-This is...
[20:15] Sakon
    only a drawing of the eye!
[20:18] Jirobo
    What?
[20:19] Mosuke
    Aww... All that for nothing.
[20:24] Kanetsugu
    It's fine this way.
[20:27] Kanetsugu
    There never was anything to connect
[20:29] Kanetsugu
    me to Lord Kenshin.
SIGN    Our child is coming. Masatora
[20:56] Kanetsugu
    Th-This is...
[21:01] Mosuke
    Heat-sensitive watermark!
[21:04] Sakon
    Why did Lord Kenshin do this?
[21:07] Jirobo
    It must have been a protective
    measure for his son...
[21:12] Jirobo
    no matter what befell
    the Jizo Bodhisattva.
[21:18] Kanetsugu
    Ah...
[21:23] Nar
    Kanetsugu called forth,
[21:25] Nar
    "Father" and "Mother" in his heart,
[21:30] Nar
    but without vocalizing.
[21:36] Nar
    He must never call
    Lord Kenshin his father,
[21:41] Nar
    and Taehime his mother...
[21:42] Nar
    not in this world.
[21:46] Nar
    Such was his firm determination.
[21:51] Nar
    This was, indeed, the child of destiny...
[21:56] Nar
    Naoe Kanetsugu's righteousness.
