[00:04] keiji
    For crying out loud...
[00:06] keiji
    I was pretty fed up with the tenacity
    of the Chief Advisor Hideyoshi at the time.
[00:12] keiji
    To think he tried to use me
    to conquer Echigo
[00:15] keiji
    because he couldn't get his hands
    on Uesugi by himself.
[00:19] kane
    Indeed.
[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.
[00:36] kane
    The Chief Advisor knew...
[00:39] kane
    the fact that you wouldn't
    accept such a request.
[00:43] kane
    Actually, Hideyoshi knew
    that you would disobey him.
[00:50] keiji
    That is, indeed,
    what an eccentric would do.
[00:53] kane
    Keiji-dono's eccentricity
[00:55] kane
    is neither an exhibition nor an act.
[00:57] kane
    It's how he lives his life.
[00:59] kane
    And asking him just to display it...
[01:03] keiji
    But then again, a request from the man
    who rules the country is the same as an order.
[01:07] keiji
    Not to mention, if something were
    to happen during that meeting,
[01:10] keiji
    the Uesugi would shoulder the blame,
    because of who the mediator is.
[01:13] kane
    And if that were to happen,
    Echigo would be blown away.
[01:17] keiji
    This was, indeed, life or death.
[01:20] keiji
    But this would have all been settled
[01:23] keiji
    rather quickly if we had just
    presented him with my head.
[01:26] keiji
    And yet you...
[01:31] kane
    No...
[01:34] kane
    I have come to invite
    you to a battle.
[01:37] keiji
    A battle?
[01:38] kane
    Our enemy is Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
[01:42] keiji
    Wha...
[01:43] kane
    Facing Hideyoshi at Jurakudai
    would be a good opportunity.
[01:47] kane
    As long as we can prepare
    for our possible deaths,
[01:50] kane
    he is not an unbeatable enemy.
[01:54] kane
    However, then the world will,
    once again, become a world of war.
[01:59] kane
    Even if I am gone,
[02:01] kane
    Echigo will gradually prepare for war.
[02:06] keiji
    You are so...
[02:14] keiji
    The wind that had passed through just then...
[02:17] keiji
    was a very proud wind of righteousness
[02:23] keiji
    that was being forgotten
    in the peaceful world.
[02:29] keiji
    I accept this battle.
[02:33] kane
    It will be a losing one.
[02:38] keiji
    That's what makes it great.
[02:41] kane
    You are quite a person.
[02:44] keiji
    Look who's talking.
[03:06] nar
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[03:10] nar
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[03:13] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[03:18] nar
    I repeat.
[03:20] nar
    "Gi" truly means
    "For one to live beautifully."
[03:31] nar
    Two eccentrics enter battle.

    Gifuu Doudou!!
SIGN    Usugumo's Eccentricity
[05:19] hide
    I heard that those men
    will be arriving in Kyoto soon.
[05:25] toshi
    By that, you mean...
[05:27] hide
    Mataza-dono, you should attend, as well.
[05:31] toshi
    Huh? Wha... Huh?
[05:37] hide
    You will meet with Maeda Keiji.
[05:49] toshi
    No, no, no...
[05:51] toshi
    That is unnecessary...
[05:53] hide
    Mataza-dono!
[05:55] hide
    But he is your nephew.
[05:58] hide
    That's rather distant of you.
[06:03] hide
    I have invited Tokugawa-dono, as well.
[06:07] toshi
    T-T-T-T-Tokugawa, too?!
[06:13] hide
    Why don't we all enjoy
    observing the eccentric.
[06:30] mitsu
    Why?
[06:32] mitsu
    Why did he accept the orders
    from his Highness so easily?
[06:36] mitsu
    That's the same as you purposely
    falling into his trap, Naoe Kanetsugu!
[06:43] toshi
    No doubt.
[06:45] toshi
    Curse the Uesugi!
[06:47] toshi
    How dare they do
    something so meddlesome?
[06:49] toshi
    There's no way that
    Keiji would stay still
[06:51] toshi
    and behave himself
    in front of his Highness.
[06:54] toshi
    Knowing him... if he were to... if...
[07:10] toshi
    There's no way that I'll be safe!
[07:14] toshi
    This just means that I...
[07:15] toshi
    Hey!
[07:16] guy
    Sir.
[07:18] toshi
    Keiji and Kanetsugu are heading
    here separately, right?
[07:21] ninja
    Keiji-dono has already arrived in Kyoto,
    but we are not sure where he went.
[07:26] toshi
    Then just Kanetsugu will be fine.
[07:29] toshi
    Oh, it's not like I'm going to have him killed...
[07:32] toshi
    But if he were to have some accident
    where he hurt himself bad enough
[07:36] toshi
    that the mediator will disappear,
    then the meeting would be called off.
[07:39] toshi
    You got it?
[07:41] ninja
    Yes, sir!
[08:00] kane
    Well, well... a bullfight in Kyoto.
[08:03] mosuke
    My word...
[08:05] mosuke
    They're so big they look like they're hills!
[08:17] kane
    What a marvelous display of strength!
[08:20] mosuke
    Go!
[08:20] jiro
    Mosuke.
[08:22] mosuke
    What is it, Jirobo?
[08:24] mosuke
    And where did you come from?
[08:25] jiro
    Get ready for battle.
[08:26] jiro
    We're already surrounded.
[08:29] mosuke
    Huh?
[08:34] person
    Wh-What's going on?!
[08:36] person
    It went crazy all of a sudden!
[08:37] person
    Look out! Run!
[08:41] kane
    Oh?
[08:42] mosuke
    We're surrounded?!
[08:48] jiro
    Huh?
[08:49] kane
    The bull means no harm.
[08:51] kane
    Mosuke!
[08:52] kane
    Your spear!
[08:53] mosuke
    Oh, uh...
[08:59] kane
    Up we go!
[09:10] person
    Y-You're running?!
[09:26] person
    What?!
[09:36] kane
    How awful...
[09:45] kane
    The sword of a samurai
    is the same as your horns.
[09:50] kane
    Because you were born with horns,
    it means that you were born to fight.
[09:57] kane
    It is only natural for a samurai
    to be angry if his battle was tainted.
[10:03] kane
    Therefore, I accept this battle!
[10:16] toshi
    B-But...
[10:19] toshi
    So, apparently, he was a monster, as well.
[10:23] ninja
    I'm terribly sorry.
[10:26] toshi
    I'm...
[10:29] toshi
    I'm doomed...
[10:35] ie
    Very good.
[10:41] ie
    Right there. Right there.
[10:52] ie
    From my understanding,
[10:55] ie
    it appears that Toshiie-dono
    couldn't take it anymore.
[11:00] honda
    That seems to be the case.
[11:02] honda
    But observing eccentrics
    is rather eccentric itself.
[11:06] ie
    But because of that, we're able to see
[11:11] ie
    the man behind all
    the rumors, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[11:18] ie
    I wonder what kind of man he really is...
[11:22] ie
    I'm excited to meet him.
[11:45] usu
    What's the matter?
[11:48] usu
    You haven't been to Kyoto in a while,
    but your face is so glum.
[11:53] usu
    Poke, poke.
[11:56] usu
    Poke, poke.
[11:57] keiji
    Stop that.
[11:59] usu
    Nope, I won't.
[12:02] usu
    Poke, poke.
[12:04] usu
    But, seriously, what's the matter?
[12:18] keiji
    Even though it's for my friend,
    I'm going to have to bow before someone.
[12:29] keiji
    I just can't seem to do it...
[12:42] keiji
    Kanetsugu-dono!
[12:44] usu
    Well, you came here at just the right time.
[12:48] usu
    There's something wrong with Keiji-han.
[12:54] keiji
    So, Kanetsugu-dono...
[12:56] keiji
    Did anything strange
    happen on your way here?
[13:01] kane
    Well...
[13:07] keiji
    So, something like that
    happened in Kamogawa...
[13:10] kane
    Yes...
[13:11] keiji
    I'm going to presume
    that my uncle was behind it.
[13:14] keiji
    I apologize.
[13:15] kane
    No, not at all.
[13:17] kane
    I'm glad we both got here safely.
[13:19] keiji
    Indeed.
[13:21] kane
    Keiji-dono.
[13:24] kane
    Could you play your biwa for me again?
[13:26] keiji
    Sure thing.
[13:51] kane
    This is what I was looking
    forward to in Kyoto.
[14:14] michi
    It appears that Kanetsugu-dono
    has arrived...
[14:18] michi
    along with Maeda Keiji.
[14:23] mitsu
    Impossible!
[14:25] mitsu
    He should have left or been killed!
[14:29] mitsu
    His Highness is after Echigo!
[14:31] michi
    I had said that it'd be
    life-threatening for the Uesugi
[14:34] michi
    if that eccentric were
    to meet with his Highness...
[14:39] michi
    But Kanetsugu-dono just
    kept smiling in response.
[14:45] mitsu
    Smiling?
[14:47] michi
    Indeed.
[14:48] mitsu
    Why was he smiling...
[14:56] person
    Be careful.
[15:01] person
    People tend to show their
     true nature once they're cornered.
[15:06] mitsu
    True nature?
[15:07] person
    Have you forgotten about Naoe Kanetsugu?
[15:12] mitsu
    Naoe-dono?
[15:15] person
    It is a secret among secrets
    that only a few of us know.
[15:25] person
    He is the son of Uesugi Kenshin.
    That is his true nature.
[15:32] person
    He's a much bigger villain to deal with
[15:36] person
    than some silly eccentric.
[15:44] mitsu
    Ayatachi-dono...
[15:46] mitsu
    What do you think Uesugi Kenshin
[15:49] mitsu
    would have done at a time like this?
[15:54] michi
    A while back during
    the battle at Kawanakajima,
[15:57] michi
    he barged into Takeda's camp
    and threw down his sword.
[16:07] michi
    If it were Kenshin...
[16:09] michi
    His Highness's life would be in danger.
[16:13] mitsu
    Y-You think so, as well...
[16:17] mitsu
    Sakon!
[16:19] mitsu
    Hurry and call for Sakon!
[16:21] mitsu
    I need him to run an errand for me.
[16:41] keiji
    Oh... Well, that's not good.
[16:45] keiji
    I'll put on a new string...
[16:54] keiji
    Kanetsugu-dono...
[16:58] kane
    I'm terribly sorry for what I've
    asked you to do in this battle.
[17:08] keiji
    So my troubles seem to have carried
    into the melody of the biwa.
[17:12] keiji
    But don't worry about it.
[17:16] keiji
    A once-in-a-lifetime battle
    with the Chief Advisor.
[17:19] keiji
    When I consider the fun of that,
    what's a head or two?
[17:25] guy
    Usugumo!
[17:30] girl
    Sir, you mustn't! Sir, you mustn't!
[17:33] guy
    Shut up!
[17:35] guy
    Where's Usugumo?
[17:37] guy
    Usugumo!
[17:40] guy
    There you are.
[17:42] guy
    Usugumo, how long are you
    going to keep me waiting?
[17:46] usu
    Eh?
[17:47] guy
    Come!
[17:48] guy
    Hurry and come to me!
[17:49] girl
    You mustn't! You mustn't!
[17:51] guy
    Now come.
[17:55] usu
    Stop this.
[17:57] guy
    Wh-What?!
[17:59] girl
    Sir, please don't.
[18:02] girl
    She's already been reserved for today.
[18:05] girl
    Please pick another girl...
[18:13] guy
    No!
[18:14] guy
    I want Usugumo!
[18:19] guy
    What's this?
[18:26] keiji
    How pathetic.
[18:28] guy
    So, you're picking a fight with me?
[18:57] usu
    Don't!
[18:59] usu
    This is my room.
[19:02] usu
    Please don't.
[19:08] guy
    A whore speaking that way to their customer?
[19:13] guy
    You need to lower your head
    when asking someone to do something!
[19:18] guy
    Well?
[19:28] guy
    What?
[19:41] nar
    Usugumo's topknot was pointing
    straight at the samurai,
[19:46] nar
    but her face was facing the side.
[19:50] nar
    Usugumo was lowering
    her head by looking to the side.
[19:55] guy
    Wh-Why you...
[20:00] guy
    You think that means you lowered your head?
[20:04] usu
    I'm doing all of this for you.
[20:09] guy
    For me?
[20:13] nar
    Lowering her head even though
    she doesn't want to...
[20:16] nar
    The customer doesn't recognize her kindness.
[20:21] nar
    But the ones here are
    Maeda Keiji and Naoe Kanetsugu.
[20:29] nar
    They are the worst possible
    people to pick a fight with.
[20:38] keiji
    This is it!
[20:40] keiji
    Lowering your head like this.
[20:45] kane
    What a fantastic display of will.
[20:48] guy
    Wha?
[20:57] guy
    Stop messing with me!
[21:14] guy
    A merry, black Iberian pig on the wall...
[21:19] person
    Huh?
[21:21] person
    What's going on?
[21:28] keiji
    What's that topknot called?
[21:31] usu
    It's called karawa.
[21:33] usu
    It's very popular lately.
[21:37] keiji
    How eccentric!
[21:40] keiji
    I'm going to have to show it to that monkey.
[21:44] kane
    I'm sure that'll make him quite happy.
[21:47] usu
    Happy?
[21:48] usu
    Monkey?
[21:50] usu
    What monkey are you talking about?
