[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. [01:05] nar     Dazzling Sengoku Period Story:     Kanetsugu and Keiji. [01:09] nar     Gifuu Doudou!! 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!
