[00:01] michi
It appears that Kanetsugu-dono
has arrived...
[00:05] michi
along with Maeda Keiji.
[00:10] mitsu
Impossible!
[00:11] mitsu
He should have left or been killed!
[00:15] mitsu
His Highness is after Echigo!
[00:18] michi
I had said that it'd be
life-threatening for the Uesugi
[00:21] michi
if that eccentric were
to meet with his Highness...
[00:26] michi
But Kanetsugu-dono just
kept smiling in response.
[00:32] mitsu
Smiling?
[00:33] michi
Indeed.
[00:35] mitsu
Why was he smiling...
[00:40] person
Be careful.
[00:45] person
People tend to show their
true nature once they're cornered.
[00:50] mitsu
True nature?
[00:51] person
Have you forgotten about
Naoe Kanetsugu-dono?
[00:56] mitsu
Naoe-dono?
[00:59] person
It is a secret among secrets
that only a few of us know.
[01:09] person
He is the son of Uesugi Kenshin.
That is his true nature.
[01:16] person
He's a much bigger villain to deal with
[01:19] person
than some silly eccentric.
[01:28] mitsu
Ayatachi-dono...
[01:30] mitsu
What do you think Uesugi Kenshin
[01:33] mitsu
would have done at a time like this?
[01:38] michi
A while back during
the battle at Kawanakajima,
[01:41] michi
he barged into Takeda's camp
and threw down his sword.
[01:49] michi
If it were Kenshin...
[01:52] michi
The life of his Highness would be in danger.
[01:56] mitsu
Y-You think so, as well...
[02:00] mitsu
Sakon!
[02:02] mitsu
Hurry and call for Sakon!
[02:04] mitsu
I need him to run an errand for me.
[02:13] nar
The character "gi" (righteousness),
combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[02:17] nar
"Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[02:21] nar
Therefore, "gi" means
"to make yourself beautiful."
[02:25] nar
I repeat.
[02:27] nar
"Gi" truly means
"For one to live beautifully."
[02:38] nar
Two eccentrics enter battle.

SIGN Audience with the Ruler
[04:53] person
Excuse me...
[04:55] person
Ishida Mitsunari-sama's messenger,
Shima Sakon-sama, has just arrived.
[05:10] hide
I see... So you've
summoned that man.
[05:14] hide
Mitsunari... that's very like you.
[05:18] mitsu
Yes.
[05:19] mitsu
But Milord...
[05:20] hide
Yes?
[05:22] mitsu
I beg your pardon, but there's
something I'd like to ask you.
[05:24] hide
What is it?
[05:26] mitsu
The incident at Sado,
and now this request for an audience...
[05:29] mitsu
Why do you have such an interest in Echigo?
[05:32] mitsu
If you truly wished,
[05:34] mitsu
it'd be easy for you to be rid of
the Uesugi using Kanetsugu's bloodline.
[05:38] mitsu
And yet...
[05:42] hide
Kanetsugu's bloodline...
[05:45] hide
I can't carelessly touch upon that.
[05:49] hide
Considering even Lord Nobunaga
[05:52] hide
tried using that fact
in his favor and yet failed.
[05:55] mitsu
Then the event at Ochirimizu Castle still...
[06:02] hide
I would like to have Naoe Kanetsugu.
[06:08] hide
Kagekatsu-dono, you refuse,
despite my repeated pleas?
[06:14] hide
Then the only thing that awaits Echigo—
[06:22] kane
What to do...
[06:25] hide
What do you mean?
[06:27] kane
I love my lord.
[06:30] hide
So?
[06:32] kane
Because of that, I made a promise to him
[06:35] kane
that we would become a bond for Echigo.
[06:47] kane
I cannot break my promise.
[06:50] kane
That is what my love means.
[06:53] hide
Kanetsugu...
[07:05] kage
I cannot break that promise either.
[07:10] mitsu
The two of them had strongly
objected your request.
[07:16] hide
At first, I did.
[07:19] hide
Both of them opposed me.
[07:22] hide
You ask if this is revenge for that?
[07:24] hide
It is not.
[07:28] mitsu
Th-Then why?
[07:33] hide
Who knows?
[07:35] hide
We shall probably find out tomorrow.
[07:39] hide
Let us see exactly what they'll do...
[07:42] hide
How exactly they'll try
to protect Echigo this time.
[07:47] hide
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.
[08:11] person
Tokugawa Ieyasu-sama has arrived!
[08:20] person
Maeda Toshiie-sama has arrived!
[08:26] toshi
It's finally come...
[08:28] toshi
This day has finally come...
[08:30] ieyasu
Well, if it isn't Toshiie-dono.
[08:37] toshi
T-Tokugawa-dono...
[08:40] ieyasu
It's a wonderful morning, is it not?
[08:42] ieyasu
Truly perfect weather for an audience...
[08:45] ieyasu
Don't you think?
SIGN Tokugawa Ieyasu
[08:50] toshi
No, no...
[08:52] toshi
It would have been better
if this day had never come.
[08:57] ieyasu
I was rather looking forward
to the meeting today.
[09:02] ieyasu
If you'll excuse me...
[09:08] toshi
Rubbing in the fact that
this has nothing to do with him...
[09:11] person
Naoe Kanetsugu-sama and
Maeda Keiji-sama have arrived!
[09:17] toshi
They're here!
[09:40] person
Please wait here...
[09:57] mitsu
Why...
[09:59] mitsu
Why did you come here, Kanetsugu?
[10:10] mosuke
For crying out loud...
[10:13] mosuke
Milord even said this would be
a losing battle, so what's he thinking?
[10:19] mosuke
Wait a minute.
[10:20] mosuke
Knowing Milord... if it came
down to it, a monkey's ass...
[10:26] mosuke
Ow, ow, ow!
What was that for, Jirobo?
[10:30] jiro
This shack and Jurakudai
[10:34] jiro
are surrounded by Tamba ninja.
[10:40] mosuke
So we're trapped like rats?
[10:45] jiro
It means that the matter
of us leaving alive or not
[10:48] jiro
depends on what our lord will do.
[10:50] mosuke
B-But...
[10:57] keiji
It's true that, to everyone else,
our actions seemed reckless.
[11:02] kane
Indeed.
[11:04] kane
Even if we had gotten through all
of the ninjas they had around that place...
[11:08] kane
The one we'd have to face after that
[11:15] kane
was the terrifying true form
of Chief Advisor Hideyoshi.
[11:27] kane
The Chief Advisor's unknown past...
[11:31] keiji
Hideyoshi's father,
his family name was Konokage.
[11:35] keiji
He was a man who lived in the mountains
and changed his name to Kinoshita.
[11:39] keiji
A man who did nothing but
train as a shinobi in Tamba.
[11:44] keiji
And Hideyoshi was the child
of that mountain man.
[11:49] keiji
Indeed...
[11:51] keiji
Hideyoshi's form was
not that of a monkey.
[11:57] keiji
It was his heavily-trained body and
shinobi techniques that made him a monkey.
[12:04] kane
That is why Lord Nobunaga
drafted Hideyoshi,
[12:08] kane
and affectionately referred
to him as "Monkey."
[12:11] keiji
Yes.
[12:12] keiji
And up against that monkey,
[12:14] keiji
even if we had one sword,
we would not have a second.
[12:18] kane
And that was not the only surprising thing.
[12:47] mitsu
Your Highness... Everyone has
gathered in the inner citadel.
[13:22] mitsu
Kanetsugu...
[13:24] mitsu
I am sorry!
[13:26] mitsu
I had no other choice...
[13:54] keiji
The overwhelming murderous intent
that even reached our location...
[13:58] keiji
It was apparent that he was skilled,
[14:00] keiji
and his skills with a sword
surpassed our own.
[14:03] kane
Yes... I would never have imagined
[14:06] kane
such a man had been summoned
[14:09] kane
to this meeting, as well.
[14:12] keiji
It was even more proof that
Mitsunari was truly trying to stop us.
[14:38] kane
It appears that the stage is set.
[14:41] keiji
Indeed.
[14:42] keiji
At least half of the people present
in the inner citadel are enemies.
[14:46] kane
It appears to be a worthy place for a battle.
[14:50] keiji
It wouldn't be any fun, otherwise.
[14:56] kane
Then this battle with the ruler...
[15:00] keiji
There is but one path to follow!
[15:03] both
Let us head toward our deaths!
[15:13] mosuke
What's that drumming?
[15:14] jirobo
The meeting has started.
[15:16] mosuke
I pray that everything goes well.
[15:24] someone
Naoe Kanetsugu-dono
has arrived at the meeting!
[15:51] toshi
So this is Naoe Kanetsugu...
[15:54] toshi
Exactly what kind of man is he?
[16:00] nar
First, the order to conquer Sado...
[16:03] nar
and then wanting an audience
with Maeda Keiji...
[16:07] nar
All requests from the ruler
of the land in this era
[16:13] nar
were the same as absolute orders
that no one was allowed to decline.
[16:18] nar
On top of that,
[16:20] nar
this not only would risk
Kanetsugu's life and the fate of Echigo,
[16:26] nar
but it wouldn't be
an exaggeration to say that
[16:30] nar
everything was in the hands
of Hideyoshi and his want for Echigo.
[16:35] nar
And it was very possible for
Hideyoshi's hands to crush the fate of Echigo.
[16:55] mitsu
Well, Kanetsugu?
[16:57] mitsu
Do you finally understand that
you're not going to be able
[17:00] mitsu
to lay a finger on his Highness?
[17:13] mitsu
C-Could it be that fuel is just
being added to the fire now?
[17:48] hide
Welcome, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[17:51] hide
I haven't seen you since
Ochirimizu Castle.
[17:54] hide
Well done on conquering Sado!
[17:57] hide
Kanetsugu, you shall now
personally be in charge of Sado.
[18:03] kane
Yes, Milord.
[18:07] kane
I will inform my lord, Uesugi Kagekatsu.
[18:20] hide
Loyal as ever, I see.
[18:26] hide
And where is Maeda Keiji?
[18:37] mitsu
Your Highness,
[18:38] mitsu
the reason that Naoe-dono is here
today is to report the victory in Sado...
[18:42] mitsu
Therefore, it appears that he is
holding back and waiting in the hall.
[18:49] hide
Then hurry up and call him in!
[18:51] hide
Let us hear about these
heroic stories from Sado.
[19:00] toshi
Naoe-dono,
[19:02] toshi
I'm going to say this right now!
[19:05] toshi
Keiji has absconded from our clan,
[19:08] toshi
so he has nothing to do with us.
[19:11] toshi
Therefore, this is your...
[19:19] kane
I have brought him here
[19:23] kane
because Keiji-dono is my friend.
[19:29] ieyasu
Friend?
[19:34] hide
Then hurry and bring him in!
[19:36] hide
Hurry!
[19:42] kane
Understood, Milord.
[19:44] kane
I believe the preparations are finally ready.
[19:48] mitsu
Preparations?
[19:56] kane
Well, then...
[19:59] peeps
Maeda Keiji-sama,
his Highness is calling for you.
[20:02] keiji
Understood.
[21:07] people
Wh-What?!
[21:12] Kane
I present to you, Maeda Keiji.
[21:30] mitsu
Wha?!
[21:48] mitsu
What is that top knot?!
