[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. [01:03] nar     Dazzling Sengoku Period Story:     Kanetsugu and Keiji. [01:07] nar     Gifuu Doudou!! SIGN    The Man of War and the Strategist [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     And... [22:04] both     A brand new story begins! SIGN     Episode 14 Drinks and Conversations of Men [23:40] both     Next time on Gifuu Doudou:     Kanetsugu and Keiji... [23:44] both     Substituting for them are [23:44] mosu     Mosuke and [23:45] jirobo     Jirobo.
