[06:26] keiji     Well, we were too far away [06:29] ---     from each other in battle     to know our faces. [06:33] keiji     It was six years ago... [06:36] ---     It was when our Oda Army was     infiltrating Mt. Kasuga Castle. [06:42] keiji     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.

[08:19] ---     That is, indeed, the Uesugi clan's     strategist, Naoe Kanetsugu. [08:25] lady     I heard that he's the chief     retainer of the Uesugi clan, [08:28] lady     and he's powerful enough     that the chief advisor [08:31] lady     personally wanted him to work for him. [08:33] keiji     But why was a man like him... [08:38] lady     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?

[09:24] 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.

SIGN    Yoroku (Kanetsugu's Father)     Higuchi Souemon [04:43] sou     I finally got it. [04:45] kane     Father. [04:49] sou     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, [05:41] kane     so I went to see Lord Kenshin's     older sister, Sentouin. SIGN    Rinsenji SIGN    Sentouin [05:48] sen     What? Yoroku had     an audience with Nobunaga? [05:51] sou     Yes. [05:52] sou     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     a keepsake of Princess Tae. [06:10] sen     P-Princess Tae?! [06:22] sen     Y-Yoroku... [06:25] sen     What are you wearing? [06:28] kane     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. [06:46] kane     I'll let Nobunaga kiss my ass. [06:49] kane     Take that! [06:52] sou     Wh-What... [06:54] sou     You drew the Oda family crest on your ass? [06:58] sen     Oh, my. [06:59] kane     Eat this! [07:01] sou     Y-Yoroku! Stop, you fool! [07:07] sen     You eccentric. [07:10] sou     For crying out loud. [07:14] kane     Sentouin-sama. [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.

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...

[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.

[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.

[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!

[05:53] 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.

[06:42] 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?

[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?

[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. [00:21] kane     For him to say that he wanted     to see your eccentricity. [00:27] hide     What? [00:28] hide     I said, Keiji... [00:30] hide     I want to meet with Maeda Keiji.

[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."

[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...

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[17:34] 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.

[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.

[17:42] 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.

[19:41] 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...

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.

[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.

[06:43] Ii     I rushed to Sunpu for this? [06:47] Ii     What an unimaginative positioning of troops. SIGN    Ii Naomasa [06:50] Nar     This man's name is Ii Naomasa. [06:57] Tadakatsu     I agree. SIGN    Honda Tadakatsu [06:59] Nar     And Honda Tadakatsu. SIGN    Sakakibara Yasumasa [07:04] Nar     Sakakibara Yasumasa. [07:07] Nar     These three generals were [07:09] Nar     the cornerstone of Ieyasu's     eventual conquest of the nation. [07:13] Nar     They came to be known in the world     as the "Three Heroes of Tokugawa." [07:19] Ieyasu     Do all of you agree about this? [07:22] Sakakibara     Yes. [07:24] Sakakibara     It looks here as if Tokugawa and     Toyotomi's armies are going to clash. [07:29] Tadakatsu     Indeed, look at the stations. [07:31] Tadakatsu     Six years ago in the battle     of Komaki and Nagakute, [07:35] Tadakatsu     we, with Oda, defeated Toyotomi's army. [07:38] Tadakatsu     He's forming the same positions,     as if to settle an old score. [07:41] Ii     Should we launch an attack now, then? [07:45] Tadakatsu     What? [07:48] Tadakatsu     You and your reckless schemes. [07:52] Ii     Oh, this one isn't. [07:54] Ii     The Chief Advisor's formations     are unexpectedly weak. [07:56] Ii     The positions could be considered good [07:58] Ii     only if they bring all their might     and have all the luck on their side. [08:02] Ii     However, if Date, who hasn't shown up yet, [08:07] Ii     brings reinforcements, victory is ours. [08:10] Tadakatsu     It won't be that easy. [08:11] Tadakatsu     The Chief Advisor is extremely cautious. [08:13] Sakakibara     That's correct. [08:14] Sakakibara     The allied forces of Maeda, [08:16] Sakakibara     Uesugi, and Sanada     are ready to attack Odawara. [08:20] Sakakibara     They're behind us. [08:22] Ii     But I hear they're running     into trouble capturing Matsuida Castle. [08:29] Ii     That army won't show up right away. [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... [09:01] Ii     The one who acted as     an intermediary for Maeda Keiji. [09:12] Ieyasu     There's... [09:15] Ieyasu     something about him. [09:44] Kanetsugu     Whoa! You're so fast, so fast. [09:47] Kanetsugu     What an easy mountain hike. [09:57] Mosuke     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     Milord! [11:24] Mosuke     There are so many of them. [11:27] Kanetsugu     Looks like we... [11:31] Kanetsugu     have found the water source. [11:36] Soldier     Don't let them get away! [11:40] Mosuke     They're coming. [11:42] Mosuke     Milord, what do we do? [11:50] Mosuke     Lunch? At a time like this? [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.

[00:08] 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.

[00:39] 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.

[13:51] 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?

[20:42] 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?

[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...

[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. [04:18] Nar     1590, sixth month, fifth day. [04:29] Nar     Date Masamune [04:31] Nar     arrived in Odawara with his army.

[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!

[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? [15:24] Mosuke     M-Milord! [15:25] Mosuke     Look! [15:35] Mosuke     That is...

[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.

[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...

[00:37] Voice     Lord! [00:37] Voice     Your short sword! [00:38] Masamune     Yeah. [00:52] Kojuro     Lord. [00:53] Kojuro     It is safely in my hands. [00:55] Masamune     I am grateful my insolence     has been admonished. 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?

[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.

[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.

[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...

[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.

[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?

[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.

[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!

[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?

[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. [21:22] Sagen     I don't believe you! [21:35] Man     So you don't believe me, huh? [21:38] Man     In that case... [21:42] Man     How about now? [21:51] Jirobo     Th-That face... [21:54] Sagen     Lord Nobunaga!

[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. SIGN    Episode 24: To Mount Koya We Go!

[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.

[20:57] 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...

[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.

[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.
