    This day is the celebration honoring

[00:30] taro
    Now, everyone drink! Eat!
    Enjoy the night to the fullest.
[00:37] guests
    Yeah!
[00:38] guest
    We're not going to hold back, then!
[00:52] priest
    Anything that's reached its zenith
    will eventually decline, huh...
[00:57] priest
    Well, then...
[01:06] priest
    I'd like to borrow an axe.
[01:14] sonzae
    Tarobei, nice work
    saving up for this new place.
[01:20] sonzae
    Well done.
[01:21] sonzae
    What a splendid mansion.
[01:25] taro
    It's nothing.
[01:27] taro
    Well, the thing I'm most proud of
    would have to be the alcove.
[01:34] guest
    What was that?
[01:49] taro
    Er... What are you going
    to do with that axe?
[01:54] priest
    Well, I thought I'd
    perform a lucky charm
[01:58] priest
    in honor of your new place.
[02:18] sonzae
    I-It can't be...
[02:20] taro
    N-No! It can't be!
    It can't be! I-It can't be!
[02:23] taro
    Oh, no!
[02:35] taro
    Ma-Maeda-sama...
[02:39] nar
    This man...
[02:41] nar
    is the man who was known as
    a legendary samurai,
[02:46] nar
    as well as a legitimate eccentric.
[02:48] [SONG] sign
    Maeda Keiji
[02:49] nar
    Maeda Keiji.
[02:53] taro
    It's true that you are
    a very well-known eccentric.
[02:57] taro
    No one ever knows what you might do!
[02:59] taro
    But this is too much!
[03:03] taro
    I just had it built! It's brand new!
[03:08] keiji
    That's exactly why.
[03:09] taro
    Huh? What are you saying?
[03:12] keiji
    Don't you get it?
[03:18] sonzae
    Th-That's... Naoe-sama.
[03:27] nar
    And the other samurai who
    just made an appearance
SIGN    Naoe Kanetsugu
[03:31] nar
    is Naoe Kanetsugu.
[03:33] ---
    Part of the Uesugi family,
    he is the governor
[03:35] ---
    of 300,000 koku of the Yonezawa fiefdom,
[03:38] nar
    and Keiji's best friend.
[03:46] kane
    Everyone, listen well!
[03:51] kane
    Everything in this world
[03:52] ---
    that's reached its zenith
    will eventually decline.
[03:55] kane
    Once you're satisfied and conceited,
[03:57] kane
    your luck takes a turn for the worst
[03:59] ---
    and eventually leads
    to your destruction.
[04:06] kane
    It's too bad about that pillar.
[04:10] kane
    But because of that wound,
[04:12] ---
    this house will not get any grander.
[04:18] kane
    Tarobei,
[04:20] ---
    take a long hard look at that wound
    and engrave it into your heart.
[04:25] kane
    That is what Keiji-dono
    is trying to say.
[04:32] keiji
    What the hell?
[04:35] keiji
    He stole my line.
[04:40] taro
    M-Maeda-sama...
[05:09] kane
    Kokuzouin Hyottokosai.
[05:13] kane
    It's been a very long time
    since you gave yourself
[05:16] kane
    that name for the fun of it.
[05:19] keiji
    Yeah.
[05:20] ---
    I've been enjoying everything nature
    has to offer here in Doumori.
[05:26] kane
    And I look forward to visiting
    you with sake in one hand.
[05:34] keiji
    Which makes the sake even better.
[05:38] keiji
    Say,
[05:39] ---
    wasn't the first time we
    drank together in Kyoto?
[05:45] kane
    Indeed. That was the summer of 1588.
[05:52] kane
    After the end of the Shibata clan,
[05:55] kane
    and the province of Echigo
    had finally been united after battle,
[05:58] kane
    of which Hideyoshi was informed
[05:59] ---
    as he proceeded to the capital.
[06:02] kane
    But it was also the year
[06:04] ---
    that started the life-or-death battle
    involving the survivors of Uesugi.
[06:12] keiji
    Shall we talk about our tales for a while?
[06:22] kane
    Indeed. To our heart's
    content over some sake.
[06:38] ---
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[06:42] ---
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[06:46] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[06:50] nar
    I repeat.
[06:52] nar
    "Gi" truly means
    "For one to live beautifully."
[07:03] nar
    Two eccentrics enter battle.

    Kanetsugu and Keiji.
[07:13] nar
    Gifuu Doudou!!
SIGN    Kanetsugu and Keiji
SIGN    Uesugi Kagekatsu's Manor
[08:43] kane
    Wh-What?!
[08:45] kane
    Uwanariuchi?!
[08:46] hachi
    Indeed... I am ashamed of myself.
[08:51] kane
    So...
[08:53] kane
    Are you asking me
    to mediate this fight?
[08:56] guy
    No, that is not what we're asking...
[08:59] guy
    However, depending on
    the situation, he will die.
[09:02] kane
    What?!
[09:04] guy
    Therefore, I thought he may
    not be able to fulfill
[09:08] ---
    his duties in Kyoto,
    so I brought him here.
[09:12] kane
    Exactly what's going on?
    Tell me everything.
[09:16] hachi
    W-Well...
[09:19] dude
    On this day, the 24th of July...
SIGN    Uwanariuchi
[09:22] nar
    Uwanariuchi is a fight among women
[09:26] ---
    when a husband remarries another woman
[09:30] ---
    within a month of his divorce.
[09:33] nar
    The first wife gathers helpers
[09:36] ---
    and then barges into the
[09:38] ---
    second wife's kitchen,
    wielding wooden swords.
[09:41] nar
    But of course, the second wife
    isn't going to take this lying down,
[09:45] nar
    so she gathers helpers, and they
    wield wooden swords of their own
[09:47] ---
    for an all-out brawl.
[09:49] nar
    However, a third party is normally called
[09:51] ---
    to get in the middle of this
[09:53] nar
    and pays the first wife
    a suitable amount of money
[09:57] ---
    to try to get her to leave.
[10:00] kane
    Then there shouldn't be an issue.
[10:03] guy
    But you see... the helper
    they got was bad.
[10:06] hachi
    Indeed! Why did it
    have to be that man?!
[10:09] kane
    Wait. Uwanariuchi is supposed
    to be conducted by women.
[10:13] kane
    A man is participating?
[10:14] guy
    Well... This person isn't someone
[10:17] ---
    who is willing to listen
    to logic very easily.
[10:19] kane
    Oh? And who is this man?
[10:22] guy
    H-His name is...
[10:27] guy
    The legendary samurai
    in battle, Maeda Keiji.
[10:31] kane
    What? Is this true?
SIGN    Uesugi Kagekatsu
[10:42] nar
    After Kenshin passed away, he took over
[10:46] nar
    and rules over Echigo,
    Uesugi Kagekatsu.
[10:49] nar
    Because of the deep wrinkles
     between his brow that has had since birth,
[10:53] ---
    it is said that he has never smiled.
[11:03] kage
    So Maeda Keiji is helping out
    with something like an uwanariuchi?
[11:07] kane
    It is said that he is such
    a legendary eccentric
[11:10] ---
    that everyone in Kyoto knows of him.
[11:13] kane
    Meaning logic will mean nothing to him.
[11:17] kage
    But isn't Maeda Keiji the one...
[11:21] kane
    Yes.
[11:23] kane
    It was right before Oda Nobunaga
    was trying to take over the country
[11:27] kane
    and was proceeding into our Echigo...
SIGN    Kasugayama Castle
[11:32] kane
    We were trying to isolate
    our enemy's advanced guard,
[11:34] kane
    Mori Nagayoshi's army,
    at Kasugayama castle.
SIGN    Mori Nagayoshi
[11:39] kane
    To do so, we stopped
    the Takigawa forces at Mikuni Pass,
[11:42] kane
    as well as Shibata Katsuie
    at Uozu Castle.
[11:45] kane
    Also, to make it look like we
    were sending reinforcements
[11:49] ---
    to Uozu castle, we sent back
    Kagekatsu-sama's squad,
[11:54] kane
    and with the assistance
    of the Yoita clan,
[11:57] ---
    we were planning to surround
    them all at once.
[12:02] kage
    It was an all-or-nothing move,
    and our victory was determined.
[12:09] kane
    But...
[12:12] kan
    A man had arrived at Mikuni
    Pass with alarming speed.
[12:18] kane
    And because of his advice,
[12:24] kane
    we lost, right when
    we were going to win.
[12:28] kane
    And that man...
[12:41] kane
    was Maeda Keiji.
[12:55] kane
    Mosuke!
[13:08] mosuke
    You're kidding!
[13:10] mosuke
    From that distance?
[13:16] kane
    A beast has shown himself.
[13:19] kage
    So why is a man like that
[13:21] kage
    intruding into something
    like an uwanariuchi?
[13:25] kane
    I don't know.
[13:27] kane
    But this war looks like
    it's going to get interesting.
[13:35] mosuke
    Jeez. You should just leave it alone.
[13:39] kane
    I cannot.
[13:41] kane
    Kihachi is a retainer
    of the Uesugi clan.
[13:44] kane
    We'll have to see
    this through with him.
[13:46] mosuke
    Well, I'd like to see what this
    legendary eccentric is like, too.
[13:53] mosuke
    But who knows where he might be?
[13:54] voice
    Over here.
[14:03] mosuke
    Jirobo!
[14:04] ninja
    Finding Maeda Keiji was
    as simple as could be.
[14:08] ninja
    He's very easy to spot.
[14:13] kane
    I see.
[14:15] mosuke
    What?
[14:17] mosuke
    What?!
[14:20] girl
    Right this way.
[14:22] girl
    Welcome, sir.
SIGN    Capital Red-Light District, Nishinotoin
[14:25] mosuke
    We're going to the red-light district during the day?
[14:30] mosuke
    Then I might as well...
[14:33] ninja
    You stay here and watch the horses.
[14:35] mosuke
    What?! Why don't you do that?!
[14:38] ninja
    Are you stupid?
[14:40] ---
    Do you think a ninja would stay
    still in front of a shop??
[14:43] mosuke
    What the hell?! I'd like
    to play sometime... Huh?
[14:49] mosuke
    H-Huh?!
[14:53] grams
    Welcome.
[14:55] kane
    I was looking for someone.
[14:58] grams
    Who might that be?
[15:05] kane
    That's...
[15:08] kane
    a melody from a biwa.
[15:11] kane
    Prepare some sake for me.
[15:13] grams
    Understood.
[15:46] kane
    Pardon.
[16:33] chick
    Are you a customer?
[16:35] kane
    No.
[16:37] kane
    That is a nice tune.
[16:39] ---
    Mind if I listen for a while?
[16:42] keiji
    Sure. That's fine.
[17:08] nar
    The two said nothing.
[17:11] nar
    The song from the biwa
[17:13] nar
    was very bright and free of malice.
[17:38] nar
    For quite some time,
    Keiji continued to play,
[17:45] nar
    and Kanetsugu continued to drink.
[17:56] nar
    However, Keiji's song suddenly changed.
[18:32] keiji
    You can try at any time.
[18:35] keiji
    You want to cut me down and make
    a name for yourself, don't you?
[19:11] chick
    Trying to cut down Keiji-han
    is rather rash, samurai-han.
[19:34] guy
    Why... what... something's wrong!
[20:04] keiji
    You've got something rare, there.
[20:07] keiji
    So...
[20:09] keiji
    Did you want to go a round?
[20:26] kane
    The song from the biwa...
[20:28] kane
    was quite the treat.
[22:18] kane
    I'm surprised you can
    sleep in this heat.
[22:21] mosuke
    Well, I was rather bored.
[22:26] kane
    Let's go.
[22:28] mosuke
    Huh? W-Wait for me!
[22:33] mosuke
    So, how did it go?
    Did you take care of Keiji?
[22:37] kane
    No. I can't lay a finger
    on him before the uwanariuchi.
[22:42] mosuke
    Oh, right...
[22:44] kane
    But...
[22:47] kane
    I saw something splendid.
[22:56] chick
    What's wrong?
[23:00] keiji
    At that moment,
[23:03] keiji
    to make me prepare for my death...
[23:06] keiji
    Who was that man...
[23:11] mosuke
    Then you didn't even give your name?
[23:15] kane
    I thought I should come
    back another time.
[23:19] kane
    And today,
[23:21] kane
    I was able to see
    Keiji-dono's gi, his righteousness.
[23:25] mosuke
    Gi?
[23:26] kane
    Indeed.
[23:29] kane
    The flowers of righteousness
     were in full bloom,
[23:32] kane
    magnificently flowing
    with the song from the biwa.
[23:40] kane
    Next time on Gifuu Doudou: Kanetsugu and Keiji:
SIGN    Episode 2 Kanetsugu's Righteousness
[23:44] kane
    Episode 2
    "Kanetsugu's Righteousness."
[23:47] kane
    Let us discuss the path
    of righteousness next time, as well.
