[00:07] Soldier
    Announcing the arrival
[00:09] Soldier
    of Date Masamune-dono.
[00:37] Voice
    Lord!
[00:37] Voice
    Your short sword!
[00:38] Masamune
    Yeah.
[00:52] Kojuro
    Lord.
[00:53] Kojuro
    It is safely in my hands.
[00:55] Masamune
    I am grateful my insolence
    has been admonished.
SIGN    The Ninjas Take Action
[02:46] Keiji
    I see...
[02:48] Keiji
    a death robe would, indeed, be theatrical
    enough to please the Chief Advisor.
[02:54] Kanetsugu
    More endearing than spite and defiance.
[02:59] Keiji
    Though he got to keep his head,
    Date wasn't unscathed, either.
[03:04] Kanetsugu
    A large portion of his
    territory was confiscated.
[03:09] Kanetsugu
    And his lordship took away one more
    important thing from Date-dono.
[03:51] Hideyoshi
    Hey, Masamune.
[03:54] Hideyoshi
    I am confiscating Iwase and Asaka.
[04:00] Hideyoshi
    Yes.
[04:15] Hideyoshi
    You will still have
    about 700,000 koku left.
[04:18] Hideyoshi
    Any complaints?
[04:22] Hideyoshi
    And...
[04:24] Hideyoshi
    Katakura Kojuro.
[04:26] Hideyoshi
    I am granting you
    50,000 koku from Tamura.
[04:30] Kojuro
    Pardon?
[04:34] Hideyoshi
    How about that?
[04:39] Hideyoshi
    Would you like to become my direct vassal?
[04:48] Kojuro
    I could not accept it.
[04:58] Hideyoshi
    Huh?
[05:12] Hideyoshi
    Why?
[05:16] Kojuro
    I am the one who has gouged
    out my own lord's right eye.
[05:22] Hideyoshi
    Is this true?
[05:27] Masamune
    Indeed...
[05:29] Masamune
    it is true!
[05:35] Kojuro
    Therefore, it is my destiny
    to be his right eye until I die.
[05:47] Hideyoshi
    All right, all right.
[05:49] Hideyoshi
    I've heard enough.
[05:50] Hideyoshi
    How pathetic.
[05:53] Hideyoshi
    You reject 50,000 koku as if it's nothing.
[05:59] Hideyoshi
    Hey, Rikyu.
[06:00] Hideyoshi
    Kojuro reminds me of that guy.
[06:03] Rikyu
    Yes.
[06:04] Masamune
    What guy?
[06:10] Rikyu
    That would be Naoe Kanetsugu-sama.
SIGN    Eight Swords Bishamon
[06:47] Suibara
    I thought that would be the end of Date.
[06:50] Suibara
    Instead, Masamune curried favor for himself.
[06:57] Kanetsugu
    That was splendid.
[07:02] Kagekatsu
    He's a troublesome fellow
    from a neighboring province.
[07:11] Mosuke
    That is...
[07:42] Ii
    Leave him be.
[07:49] Ii
    He is Naoe Kanetsugu-dono,
    the strategist of Uesugi.
[07:54] Kanetsugu
    Ii-dono.
[07:55] Ii
    What are you up to, Naoe-dono?
[07:57] Kanetsugu
    I would enjoy a visit,
[08:01] Kanetsugu
    but we must pass through on horseback.
[08:04] Kanetsugu
    Please pardon us.
[08:05] Ii
    Huh?
[08:07] Ieyasu
    This is a battlefield.
[08:09] Ieyasu
    They may stay on horseback.
[08:11] Ieyasu
    They may go.
[08:28] Ieyasu
    Naoe-dono.
[08:29] Ieyasu
    It has been a while.
[08:31] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[08:32] Ieyasu
    I heard about your hospitality to Naomasa.
[08:36] Ii
    Uh... My lord.
[08:38] Ii
    Please don't...
[08:40] Ieyasu
    First, you drank him under the table,
[08:43] Ieyasu
    then you had to deliver him to his residence.
[08:51] Ii
    Damn it...
[08:52] Ii
    The biggest embarrassment of my life.
[08:55] Kanetsugu
    Oh, it was nothing.
[09:01] Ieyasu
    Thanks for taking care of him.
[09:03] Ieyasu
    I express my gratitude.
[09:33] Ii
    Damn...
[09:45] Mosuke
    Milord.
[09:47] Mosuke
    My hunch is that Ieyasu
    was waiting for you there.
[09:52] Kanetsugu
    Probably.
[09:54] Kanetsugu
    That's why I greeted him.
[09:56] Mosuke
    Huh?
[10:00] Kanetsugu
    He...
[10:08] Kanetsugu
    definitely knows the secret about my eyes.
[10:14] Kagekatsu
    Tokugawa...
[10:16] Kagekatsu
    is investigating your secret?
[10:20] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[10:23] Kanetsugu
    He probably knows about
    the Jizo Bodhisattva, as well.
[10:31] Kagekatsu
    Tokugawa must be planning to battle us.
[10:37] Kanetsugu
    Lord. You need not worry.
[10:42] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo is on his way
    to the Bodhisattva statue,
[10:44] Kanetsugu
    to make sure it doesn't get stolen.
[10:50] Kagekatsu
    But...
[10:51] Kanetsugu
    No.
[10:53] Kanetsugu
    If my history were to bring
    troubles to Uesugi...
[10:58] Kanetsugu
    you must execute me as a criminal.
[11:01] Kagekatsu
    What?
[11:03] Kanetsugu
    That would be the best strategy
    to eliminate the source of trouble.
[11:40] Jirobo
    That's Shimosaka Sagen.
[11:44] Jirobo
    I heard he's working for Ii Naomasa.
[11:51] Jirobo
    Can't be true...
[12:34] Jirobo
    A ninja.
[12:48] Sagen
    Long time no see, Jirobo.
[12:51] Sagen
    I see your ninja skills have not waned.
[12:56] Jirobo
    Shimosaka Sagen, is that you?
[13:00] Sagen
    You recognize me by voice?
[13:04] Sagen
    I take it that you have been aware of me.
[13:19] Jirobo
    What?
[13:48] Jirobo
    S-Sagen...
[13:51] Sagen
    Sorry about that.
[13:53] Sagen
    But there was no other way to capture you.
[13:57] Jirobo
    Wh-What do you want from me?
[14:00] Sagen
    Lord Kenshin has bequeathed
    a Jizo Bodhisattva as proof of his son.
[14:05] Sagen
    Tell me where it is.
[14:10] Jirobo
    Wh...
[14:11] Jirobo
    What are you talking about?
[14:29] Sagen
    Don't pretend you don't know.
[14:31] Sagen
    As Mitsumono ninja, you and I fought
    together at Kawanakajima, remember?
[14:38] Sagen
    Back in the days when I worked for Takeda...
[14:41] Sagen
    there was a ninja who ran errands
    between Nara's Shukuin and Kenshin.
[14:47] Sagen
    As to his personal description...
[14:49] Sagen
    it matches yours perfectly.
[14:52] Jirobo
    Wh-What are you talking about...
[14:57] Sagen
    Don't play dumb.
[14:59] Sagen
    I know you were Kenshin's number one ninja.
[15:05] Sagen
    You can go to Kenshin's
    side now, if you like.
[15:20] Mosuke
    Could that have been...
[15:24] Kanetsugu
    Mosuke's hunch was right on the mark.
[15:30] Keiji
    There's no torture more
    severe than the ninjas'.
[15:33] Kanetsugu
    Not to mention, it was Sagen and Jirobo...
[15:36] Kanetsugu
    It was a battle of wills
[15:38] Kanetsugu
    between two men connected
    to Kenshin and Uesugi's fate.
[15:43] Keiji
    Hence, his pain...
[15:45] Keiji
    must have been unimaginable.
[15:50] Kanetsugu
    However, notwithstanding
    the excruciating pain,
[15:53] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo did not give in.
[15:56] Keiji
    Indeed...
[15:59] Kanetsugu
    Due to his righteous loyalty
    to my father, Lord Kenshin.
[16:06] Kenshin
    What?
[16:07] Kenshin
    Princess Tae is pregnant with my child?
[16:10] Jirobo
    Yes, indubitably.
[16:16] Kenshin
    You...
[16:19] Kenshin
    have just killed someone, haven't you?
[16:22] Jirobo
    Yes.
[16:23] Jirobo
    Several ninjas.
[16:25] Jirobo
    Because they got wind of the secret.
[16:28] Kenshin
    You killed your own comrades?
[16:31] Jirobo
    I had to silence them. It was inevitable.
[16:41] Kenshin
    You...
[16:43] Jirobo
    Now I, too, can guard the secret.
[16:48] Kenshin
    I will not allow it.
[16:49] Kenshin
    Do not die, Jirobo.
[16:51] Jirobo
    M-Milord.
[16:57] Kenshin
    As of this moment, you are my direct vassal.
[17:00] Jirobo
    Th-That is too much...
[17:02] Kenshin
    Hence, you must live.
[17:05] Kenshin
    Live and protect my son.
[17:11] Nar
    This was the moment Jirobo
    renewed his will to live.
[17:16] Nar
    When Jirobo was an infant,
[17:17] Nar
    he was found at a battlefield
    by a ninja leader.
[17:21] Nar
    He was raised by him－
    as a slave and as a ninja.
[17:24] Nar
    Thus, he was ready to die at any moment,
    without any qualms whatsoever.
[17:30] Nar
    And even now, his will kept Jirobo alive...
[17:42] Mosuke
    Milord.
[17:43] Kanetsugu
    Hmm?
[17:45] Kanetsugu
    What's the matter?
[17:46] Kanetsugu
    Still can't get to sleep?
[17:50] Kanetsugu
    I guess you are hearing
    Jirobo's voice in your heart, too.
[17:55] Mosuke
    I'm worried about Jirobo.
[17:58] Mosuke
    If Tokugawa is onto him, it's too
    dangerous for him to go alone.
[18:03] Mosuke
    I know.
[18:04] Mosuke
    I can go to his aid.
[18:08] Mosuke
    But, milord.
[18:10] Kanetsugu
    Don't worry.
[18:12] Kanetsugu
    Jirobo is not alone.
[18:14] Mosuke
    Huh?
[18:16] Kanetsugu
    That demon is with him.
[18:18] Mosuke
    Demon?
[18:22] Mosuke
    No, don't tell me!
[18:33] Ninja1
    So that's the famous ninja, Jirobo, huh?
[18:37] Ninja2
    His fame is overrated.
[18:38] Ninja1
    Nothing but a geriatric ninja.
[18:49] Ninja1
    A bear?
[18:57] Ninja2
    What the... As if it was
    running away from something.
[19:02] Ninja1
    Of course not! What would
    a bear be afraid of?
[19:06] Ninja2
    I suppose you're right...
[19:21] Ninja1
    What's the matter?
[19:22] Ninja2
    A d-d-demon...
[19:33] Ninja1
    He's dead!
[19:40] Ninja1
    Wh-Wh-What the...
[20:04] Sagen
    I have heard, that after Kenshin's death,
[20:09] Sagen
    you left Echigo and
    became a freelance ninja.
[20:12] Sagen
    So why are you still loyal to Uesugi?
[20:19] Jirobo
    Because Lord Kenshin...
[20:22] Jirobo
    saved me from being a slave.
[20:26] Jirobo
    I will never forget
[20:29] Jirobo
    my debt to him,
    as long as I live.
[20:34] Sagen
    Righteousness due to your indebtedness.
[20:36] Jirobo
    That's right.
[20:37] Jirobo
    Righteousness.
[20:44] Sagen
    So even you are righteous, too.
[20:46] Sagen
    When Echigo men are righteous,
    they also are stubborn.
[20:58] Sagen
    You must die.
[21:01] Sagen
    Because it would be a nuisance for me...
[21:04] Sagen
    if you righteously reported to Naoe
    of my search for the Jizo Bodhisattva.
[21:22] Sagen
    What?
[21:39] Sagen
    Wh-What the...
[21:59] Sagen
    Wh-What is this?
