[00:02] mosuke
    Good evening, moon.
[00:04] mosuke
    Why don't you keep us
    company tonight as we drink?
[00:08] mosuke
    And...
[00:10] mosuke
    Why don't we talk a while?
[00:12] jiro
    Indeed. Let's.
[00:14] jiro
    Let us talk and drink
    to our hearts' content
[00:18] jiro
    about the tales of our lord,
[00:23] jiro
    the very righteous
    Naoe Kanetsugu-dono.
[00:34] nar
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[00:38] nar
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[00:41] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[00:46] nar
    I repeat.
[00:48] nar
    "Gi" truly means
    "For one to live beautifully."
[00:59] nar
    Two eccentrics enter battle.

SIGN    Drinks and Conversations of Men
[02:32] mosuke
    Come now, Jirobo.
[02:35] mosuke
    One more!
[02:36] mosuke
    One more drink!
[02:37] jiro
    Why, thank you.
[02:40] both
    Whoa, there.
[02:42] mosuke
    Whoa?
[02:49] jiro
    Though we're not celebrating
    anything in particular,
[02:50] jiro
    this is celebratory sake!
[02:53] mosuke
    Indeed, it is.
[02:56] mosuke
    Celebratory sake for our lives
    lasting a little longer.
[02:59] mosuke
    Considering the fact that we were
    able to come back from the audience
[03:03] mosuke
    with the Chief Advisor,
    Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
[03:05] jiro
    This time, I was definitely
    fearing that it'd be the end.
[03:11] jiro
    Considering everything
    relied on the one and only,
[03:15] jiro
    the unrivaled eccentric,
[03:20] jiro
    Maeda Keiji.
[03:22] mosuke
    Indeed.
[03:23] mosuke
    It could be said that meeting
    him was the end of our luck.
[03:54] kane
    Mosuke!
[04:07] mosuke
    No way!
[04:09] mosuke
    From that distance?
[04:16] kane
    We'll just have to return the favor.
[04:20] big
    He's trying to do the same
    thing as Maeda-dono!
[04:23] big
    Laughable!
[04:29] big
    You fool!
[04:31] big
    Like it'd reach!
[04:32] big
    Know your place!
[04:35] keiji
    That's not entirely true.
[04:46] big
    It's in me!
[04:52] keiji
    Not bad.
[04:53] keiji
    The "Love" Crest...
[04:55] keiji
    That is indeed the Uesugi clan's
    strategist, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[05:00] mosuke
    They were once enemies shooting
    arrows at each other.
[05:04] jiro
    But then in 1588...
[05:09] both
    Their reunion will lead to them
    being called the best of friends.
SIGN    Uwanariuchi
[05:18] dude
    On this day, the 24th of July...
[05:24] jiro
    Uwanariuchi is a fight among women
[05:28] jiro
    when a husband remarries
    another woman
[05:31] jiro
    within a month of his divorce.
[05:34] mosuke
    The first wife gathers helpers
[05:36] mosuke
    and then barges into the
[05:38] mosuke
    second wife's kitchen,
    wielding wooden swords.
[05:41] mosuke
    But of course, the second wife
    isn't going to take this lying down,
[05:44] mosuke
    so she gathers helpers, and they
    wield wooden swords of their own
[05:47] mosuke
    for an all-out brawl.
[05:49] jiro
    However, a third party
    is normally called
[05:50] jiro
    to get in the middle of this
[05:53] jiro
    and pays the first wife
    a suitable amount of money
[05:56] jiro
    to try to get her to leave.
[06:00] mosuke
    However...
[06:03] mosuke
    The helper that the second wife
[06:04] mosuke
    had hired was an imposter who
    was using Keiji-dono's name.
[06:08] jiro
    Of course, Lord Kanetsugu
    didn't stay quiet and
[06:12] kane
    Now, let's see it!
[06:12] jiro
    when he tried to
    teach him a lesson...
[06:15] kane
    Your righteousness
    towards these men!
[06:19] mosuke
    Hearing what happened,
    Keiji-dono arrived, as well.
[06:26] both
    Of course, that meant
    someone had to pay.
[06:30] fake
    Maeda Keiji?!
[06:32] fake
    Th-The real one!
[06:34] fake
    Damn it!
[06:49] keiji
    You're not worth rusting my spear.
[06:52] kane
    Indeed, he is not worth it.
[06:59] hachi
    I-Is he dead?!
[07:04] guy
    It's as if a tiger just struck...
[07:09] keiji
    Naoe-dono, it's been a while since
    the battle at Kasugayama Castle.
[07:16] kane
    Maeda Keiji-dono.
[07:18] keiji
    I know what's going on.
[07:20] keiji
    Do as you please.
[07:23] kane
    You...
[07:24] kane
    Hear me!
[07:26] kane
    This is not an uwanariuchi!
[07:29] kane
    It is a battle of life or death!
[07:32] kane
    Therefore, we will not be involved.
[07:35] kane
    I, Naoe, and Maeda-dono
    shall observe.
[07:38] kane
    Fight to your heart's content!
[07:41] mosuke
    No, no, no!
[07:44] mosuke
    It's already bad enough
    with just one of them,
[07:47] mosuke
    but when those two are together,
    the craziness would increases exponentially.
[07:51] mosuke
    Because of that, we really
    almost died in Sado.
[07:55] jiro
    Indeed!
[07:56] bg
    The Honma clan of Sado
    kept repeating their internal strife
[07:57] jiro
    That was all part of the Chief Advisor's
    plan to take Echigo from the Uesugi.
[07:59] bg
    and refused to listen to any
    mediation from you.
[08:07] jiro
    He was trying to make
    the point that if the Uesugi
[08:09] jiro
    couldn't mediate the fighting
    between the clans in Sado,
[08:11] jiro
    that they had no right
    to control Echigo.
[08:16] mosuke
    On top of that,
[08:18] mosuke
    the Honma clan that was divided
    north and south on Sado
[08:21] mosuke
    were in on Hideyoshi's plan and
    pretended to fight each other.
[08:25] jiro
    Southern Sado would attack
    any with the Uesugi flag,
[08:29] jiro
    but would ignore the
    flags of Northern Sado.
[08:32] fuji
    We shall take care of them
    in a single blow!
[08:43] mosuke
    But our lord went into the enemy
    camp to quickly stop the battle.
[08:52] keiji
    Take that!
[08:58] seion
    Show these men no mercy!
[09:03] nuns
    Yes, Milady!
[09:12] sub
    M-Milord!
[09:14] sub
    The South's army
     is being destroyed,
[09:16] sub
    and the Uesugi army
    is heading our way.
[09:19] sub
    What shall we do?
[09:20] sub
    Please decide!
[09:26] fat
    All troops attack the southern army!
[09:29] sub
    But, Milord, that's—
[09:31] fat
    I will not assist a crippled army.
[09:34] fat
    So we shall strike and destroy
    the South's army before Uesugi gets to them!
[09:39] fat
    That is the only way
    we will survive!
[09:48] taka
    Takatsuna!
[09:49] taka
    You betrayed us!
[09:51] fat
    Shut up!
[09:52] fat
    Sado is all mine!
[09:58] fat
    What?
[10:04] kane
    The winners and losers
    have been determined in this battle.
[10:07] kane
    Consequently, there is no need
    for any more pointless bloodshed.
[10:12] kane
    Let those, both North and South,
[10:14] kane
    who pledge allegiance
    to the Uesugi clan, surrender now!
[10:17] kane
    However, if there are
     still those who oppose...
[10:20] kane
    I, Naoe Kanetsugu...
[10:22] keiji
    And I, Maeda Keiji...
[10:29] both
    Shall become fierce dragons
    and confront you with righteousness!
[11:22] jiro
    Nothing less from two men of
    battle who work so well together.
[11:25] bg hide
    At this rate, there's nowhere
     I can go to overpower Uesugi!
[11:26] jiro
    The Chief Advisor's plot
    was completely destroyed.
[11:29] bg hide
    Taking over Echigo will
    have to wait for another time!
[11:33] jiro
    However, there was one man who
    cornered our invincible lord,
[11:36] jiro
    leading him to almost
    take his own life.
[11:41] jiro
    That was none other than...
[11:43] jiro
    the man who believed in unifying
    the country, Lord Oda Nobunaga.
[12:06] nobu
    How about it,
[12:07] nobu
    Shindou?
[12:08] shin
    Y-Yes...
[12:12] shin
    Without a doubt.
[12:19] nobu
    Those tears can't be helped.
[12:23] nobu
    Higuchi Yoroku!
[12:24] nobu
    I shall give that fan to you!
[12:27] nobu
    Take it with you to Echigo.
[12:30] kane
    Thank you, I am honored—
[12:32] nobu
    Take good care of it.
[12:34] nobu
    That is a keepsake of your mother's.
[12:37] kane
    My mother's?
[12:41] nobu
    That's right.
[12:43] nobu
    The younger sister of the former
    Chief Advisor, Konoe Sakihisa,
[12:46] nobu
    Princess Tae, is your mother.
[12:49] kane
    B-But...
[12:53] nobu
    Do you not believe me?
[12:54] kane
    Indeed...
[12:55] nobu
    Then quickly go back to Echigo...
[12:58] nobu
    and ask for yourself...
    who your real father is.
[13:03] kane
    M-My real father?
[13:07] mosuke
    Moon, you may have been observing
[13:12] mosuke
    the fact that many had shed
    blood and tears because of this.
[13:20] mosuke
    The gift that Lord Nobunaga
    gave to Echigo...
[13:23] mosuke
    That was...
[13:28] mosuke
    It was a trap to seal the
    Uesugi clan within Echigo,
[13:31] [SONG] sign red
    Borrowed from Keiji, without permission.
SIGN    Borrowed from Keiji, secretly.
SIGN    Borrowed from Keiji, by lying to him.
SIGN    Borrowed from Keiji, without telling him.
[13:31] mosuke
    and destroy their dream
    of unifying the land.
[13:37] mosuke
    Because of that, our lord threw
    himself away, for the sake of righteousness.
[13:45] kane
    Sentouin-sama.
[13:48] kane
    My father is Higuchi Souemon,
     without a doubt.
[13:53] sou
    Yoroku...
[13:55] kane
    Therefore, I would like to know
    exactly how I became Souemon's child.
[14:06] sen
    All right...
[14:08] sen
    Since you have that
    resolve, I shall tell you.
[14:23] kage
    A baby?
[14:25] kono
    This baby was born from Kagetora-dono
    and Tae, my late younger sister.
[14:33] kage
    Wh-What?!
[14:35] kono
    This is the true proof
    of my blood oath.
[14:40] kage
    Th-That's impossible...
[14:43] kono
    There we go.
[14:46] kono
    There, there.
[14:50] kono
    You look just like
    Kagetora-dono, don't you?
[14:55] kono
    There...
[15:13] kage
    Did you hear what was just said?
[15:25] kage
    Forgive me...
    but this is for Echigo.
[15:47] kage
    In Echigo...
[15:50] kage
    even the retainers believe Kagetora-sama
     is the avatar of Bishamonten.
[15:55] kage
    Because of that,
    our hearts are as one.
[16:02] kage
    And you're saying that despite his oath
    of celibacy to the gods and Buddha,
[16:07] kage
    he had a child with the younger sister
     of the Chief Advisor in the shadows...
[16:12] kono
    What are you saying
    I should do, then?
[16:14] kage
    If a war were to start in Echigo,
[16:17] kage
    the dream that you share with
    Kagetora-sama will never come to pass!
[16:24] kage
    I, Naoe Kagetsuna,
    shall take that baby.
[16:32] sen
    After I heard what had
     happened from Kagetsuna,
[16:38] sen
    I ended up relying on Souemon,
[16:41] sen
    as he is who I was closest with and
    so could be trusted with this secret.
[16:49] sou
    We are stationed here
    in the mountains year-round,
[16:54] sou
    therefore, no one would be suspicious
    if we suddenly had a baby.
[17:04] sou
    Very well.
[17:05] sou
    I, Higuchi Souemon,
    shall guard this child with my life.
[17:16] kane
    But in that case, I should have
     just been abandoned...
[17:20] kane
    No...
[17:21] kane
    I should have been killed.
[17:24] kane
    Then Nobunaga wouldn't be taking advantage
     of this situation in his quest for Echigo.
[17:30] sen
    Do you think that Omijou-sama
[17:32] sen
    swore an oath of celibacy
     because he wanted to?
[17:36] kane
    W-Well...
[17:39] sen
    For Echigo, he had no children.
[17:42] sen
    He didn't know about
    the happiness of normal people,
[17:44] sen
    and was left to carry
    everything upon his shoulders.
[17:46] sen
    Why would I let the child
    of my younger brother be abandoned?
[17:56] kane
    S-Sentouin-sama...
[18:03] sen
    If I were to abandon you,
[18:04] sen
    though the people may forgive me,
     the heavens would not.
[18:10] sen
    This was the righteousness of myself,
     Kagetsuna, and Souemon.
[18:15] kane
    So, you're saying that the reason I lived
    was because of righteousness?
[18:22] sen
    Indeed.
[18:24] sen
    You are the child of
    our righteousness.
[18:35] kane
    I am the child...
[18:37] kane
    of your righteousness.
[18:43] mosuke
    But at the time,
[18:45] mosuke
    the loyalty between daimyos and
     their retainers was vague.
[18:49] mosuke
    Despite being retainers,
[18:50] mosuke
    if they were not able
    to protect their territory,
[18:53] mosuke
    they threw away their masters.
[18:54] jiro
    And the people of Echigo were
     very passionate about their territory.
[19:01] jiro
    Because of that, even Lord Kenshin
    had to become a god.
[19:06] jiro
    Swearing a lifetime of celibacy,
     becoming the avatar of Bishamonten,
[19:12] jiro
    he became a god of war,
     winning every one of his battles,
[19:15] jiro
    and his retainers finally swore loyalty to him.
[19:19] mosuke
    However, if Lord Kenshin
    was no longer a god...
[19:25] ken
    Behold, Yoroku, that moon...
[19:29] ken
    At first glance, it looks beautiful,
[19:31] ken
    but if the night sky only had
    the moon alone, it would be dull.
[19:34] ken
    It is the clouds the moon shines upon
     that make it appear so elegant.
[19:40] kane
    But...
[19:41] kane
    If the clouds get in the way
     of the moonlight,
[19:44] kane
    there is only darkness.
[19:45] kane
    No elegance or anything else.
[20:02] kane
    Omijou-sama, do you remember
     this folding fan?
[20:07] ken
    There is no way I can forget it.
[20:10] ken
    That folding fan belonged
     to Princess Tae...
[20:13] ken
    And...
[20:14] kane
    And?
[20:18] ken
    It is the fan of the woman
    who I loved the most.
[20:25] kane
    Omijou-sama...
[20:32] both
    Nothing less from Lord Kenshin.
[20:34] both
    He managed to laugh off
    Lord Nobunaga's trap.
[20:38] mosuke
    The two were very much alike.
[20:42] jiro
    Not to mention, if you happened
    to anger our lord...
[21:13] fat
    What?
[21:19] mosuke
    Because of that, there was no doubt
    about who our lord was related to.
[21:22] mosuke
    It would eventually be found out
    that they were father and son.
[21:26] mosuke
    Huh?
[21:30] mosuke
    I'm sorry!
[21:31] mosuke
    Please forgive me!
[21:31] mosuke
    I won't say anymore!
[21:32] mosuke
    This is top secret among the Uesugi!
[21:34] mosuke
    I won't speak of it again!
[21:35] mosuke
    So please, just spare my life!
[21:38] mosuke
    Oh, is that fire real?
[21:41] jiro
    Yep.
[21:44] mosuke
    Are you all right, Jirobo?
[21:46] mosuke
    Hey!
[21:47] mosuke
    The fire's out now.
[21:48] mosuke
    Wake up!
[21:49] mosuke
    It's your turn to talk next!
[21:51] mosuke
    Poor Jirobo...
[21:53] mosuke
    Are you okay?
[21:54] mosuke
    Come on, tell us of the tragic
    and lonely life of the shinobi.
[21:57] mosuke
    Otherwise, I'm going to tell you
    "Mosuke's Righteousness:
[21:59] mosuke
    The Story of the Spear-bearer."
[22:02] mosuke
    Come on!
[22:02] mosuke
    Come on!
[22:03] mosuke
    Come on!
[22:03] mosuke
    Wake up!
[22:04] mosuke
    Hurry and wake up!
[22:05] mosuke
    The siege of Odawara awaits us!
[22:06] mosuke
    Our troubles are
    just about to begin!
