[00:01] keiji
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[00:10] hide
    I've been had.
[00:16] hide
    Well done on your eccentricity.
[00:18] hide
    Maeda Keiji, continue to be
    as eccentric as your heart desires!
[00:24] hide
    I shall allow it!
[00:33] nar
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[00:36] nar
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[00:39] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[00:44] nar
    I repeat.
[00:46] nar
    "Gi" truly means
    "For one to live beautifully."
[00:57] nar
    Two eccentrics enter battle.

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