[00:04] keiji
    Yes... the first time I ever
    drank with you was in Kyoto.
[00:12] kane
    Indeed. That was the summer of 1588.
[00:16] kane
    One of the retainers of our
    Uesugi clan, Yamada Kihachi,
[00:20] kane
    brought misfortune upon himself
[00:23] ---
    and got involved in an uwanariuchi.
[01:00] guy
    Why... What... Something's wrong!
[01:16] keiji
    So...
[01:18] keiji
    Did you want to go a round?
[01:30] keiji
    At that time, for a moment,
    I had prepared to die.
[01:35] keiji
    But instead, you smiled and said...
[01:44] kane
    The song from the biwa...
[01:46] kane
    was quite the treat.
[01:50] kane
    The flowers that flowed
    upon that melody
[01:56] kane
    were the flowers of your
    righteousness, Keiji-dono.
[02:06] keiji
    Shall we talk about
    our tales for a while?
[02:08] kane
    About our righteousness
    to our hearts' content.
[02:20] nar
    The character "gi" (righteousness),
    combines "oneself" with "sheep."
[02:24] nar
    "Sheep" is the same as "beauty."
[02:28] nar
    Therefore, "gi" means
    "to make yourself beautiful."
[02:32] nar
    I repeat.
[02:34] nar
    "Gi" truly means
    "For one to live beautifully."
[02:46] nar
    Two eccentrics enter battle.

    Kanetsugu and Keiji.

    Gifuu Doudou!!
[04:14] sign
    Kanetsugu's Righteousness
[04:20] new
    This only means that you'll
    just have to fight, too.
[04:24] hachi
    You say that, but the enemy
    is too strong.
[04:27] new wife
    And you call yourself a man?
    A samurai?!
[04:31] new
    How embarrassing.
[04:33] new bg
    If that's all the pride you have, leave it!
[04:34] guy
    How pathetic.
[04:36] ---
    That's not a good enough reason to give up!
[04:37] guy
    This uwanariuchi is due
    to your own mistakes.
[04:43] nar
    An uwanariuchi is a fight among women
[04:43] hachi
    I'm doomed!
[04:46] nar
    when a husband remarries another woman
[04:49] nar
    within a month of his divorce.
[04:52] nar
    The first wife gathers helpers
[04:54] nar
    and then barges into the
[04:56] nar
    second wife's kitchen,
    wielding wooden swords.
[04:59] nar
    This then leads to an all-out brawl
[05:01] nar
    with the new wife and her
    helpers that were waiting.
[05:04] nar
    And a third party is normally called
[05:08] nar
    to get in the middle of this
[05:09] nar
    and pays the first wife
    a suitable amount of money
[05:13] nar
    to try to get her to leave.
[05:16] nar
    But an unusual problem came up
    in this particular uwanariuchi.
[05:23] old
    That's right.
[05:24] ---
    This uwanariuchi is a bit
    different from the others.
[05:27] old
    I have the ultimate helper.
[05:31] old
    His name is legendary.
    The legitimate eccentric, Maeda Keiji.
[05:37] old
    Just you wait, you thieving cat!
[05:44] hachi
    I'm done for!
[05:46] guy
    Good grief.
[05:47] guy
    I know that Maeda-dono is
[05:47] hachi
    What am I supposed to do?!
[05:49] ---
    quite the eccentric,
    but this is rather much.
[05:52] kane
    But when I met him the other day,
[05:56] ---
    he didn't seem like the type
    to do something like this.
[06:01] keiji
    What?
[06:02] keiji
    He was Naoe Kanetsugu?
[06:05] chick
    No doubt about it.
[06:09] keiji
    I see...
[06:11] keiji
    That makes sense, then.
[06:13] chick
    Do you know him?
[06:17] keiji
    We were in the same battle once.
[06:19] chick
    Battle?
[06:21] ---
    Then... Why didn't you recognize him?
[06:26] keiji
    Well, we were too far away
[06:29] ---
    from each other in battle
    to know our faces.
[06:33] keiji
    It was six years ago...
[06:36] ---
    It was when our Oda Army was
    infiltrating Mt. Kasuga Castle.
[06:42] keiji
    Our armies were approaching from
    three different directions,
[06:45] keiji
    and it should have been
    an overwhelming victory,
[06:49] keiji
    but it was all a diversion to try
[06:52] keiji
    to annihilate us by sending
    our main forces back.
[06:57] keiji
    We had realized this and quickly
    withdrew, escaping from the area.
[07:04] keiji
    I was so impressed by this plan,
[07:06] ---
    that I wanted to meet
    the person who thought of it.
[07:31] mosuke
    You're kidding!
[07:32] mosuke
    From that distance?
[07:39] kane
    We'll just have to return the favor.
[07:44] big
    He's trying to do the same
    thing as Maeda-dono!
[07:47] big
    Laughable!
[07:53] big
    You fool! Like it'd reach!
[07:56] big
    Know your place!
[07:59] keiji
    That's not entirely true.
[08:10] big
    It's in me!
[08:15] keiji
    Not bad.
[08:17] keiji
    The "Love" Crest...
[08:19] ---
    That is, indeed, the Uesugi clan's
    strategist, Naoe Kanetsugu.
[08:25] lady
    I heard that he's the chief
    retainer of the Uesugi clan,
[08:28] lady
    and he's powerful enough
    that the chief advisor
[08:31] lady
    personally wanted him to work for him.
[08:33] keiji
    But why was a man like him...
[08:38] lady
    I have another story
    which may explain that...
[08:47] keiji
    I see.
[08:49] ---
    So he's mediating at the uwanariuchi.
[08:54] keiji
    Then I shall greet him with the stroke
[08:58] ---
    of my sword on another day.
[09:01] mosuke
    But how strange...
[09:03] mosuke
    Maeda Keiji was supposed
[09:05] ---
    to be the next head
    of the Maeda clan...
[09:09] mosuke
    So why has he become a ronin?
[09:13] kane
    There is actually
    an interesting story to that.
[09:17] girl
    Come on. You know you want to.
[09:20] kane
    Mosuke, let us have
    that story while we clean ourselves.
[09:24] mosuke
    Huh?
[09:27] mosuke
    Hot!
[09:29] kane
    Then how's this?
[09:32] mosuke
    Now I'm cold...
[09:36] kane
    And so,
[09:37] kane
    this was one of the
    reasons that Keiji-dono
[09:40] ---
    ended up absconding from Maeda Toshiie.
[09:43] mosuke
    This is?
[09:45] kane
    Yes. You see...
[09:49] kane
    It happened in Kanazawa,
    at Maeda Keiji's manor.
[09:54] kane
    One day, Keiji-dono invited
    Maeda Toshiie-dono to his manor
[09:58] kane
    and offered him a bath,
    leading him there.
[10:02] keiji
    Please, this way.
[10:03] toshi
    A bath!
[10:04] kane
    It was a very cold day.
[10:05] ---
    Very good. Very good.
[10:08] kane
    Considering Toshiie-dono had been
    shivering this whole time,
[10:11] kane
    he was rather excited
    about the bath and jumped in.
[10:13] toshi
    A bath! A bath! A hot bath!
[10:17] kane
    However...
[10:19] toshi
    It's cold!
[10:21] kane
    The bath was filled with cold water.
[10:24] mosuke
    Why would he play such a prank?
[10:28] kane
    It appears that Keiji-dono
    didn't like the fact that
[10:30] ---
    Toshiie-dono did whatever
    the chief advisor told him to do.
[10:34] kane
    Though he may be a daimyo,
[10:37] ---
    once he has lost his righteousness,
[10:40] ---
    he might as well as be a ronin...
[10:43] kane
    That's what he said as he left Kanazawa.
[10:46] mosuke
    So he became a ronin
    for the sake of righteousness?
[10:49] kane
    Indeed. That is the spirit
    of an eccentric.
[10:53] kane
    This was what you told me, was it not?
[10:56] not a girl
    Indeed. That is what I heard.
[11:03] not
    E-Excuse me, sirs!
    You can't come in here like that!
[11:06] ronin
    Shut up!
[11:10] kane
    To bring your swords in here...
[11:13] kane
    They're just going to rust.
    What a waste.
[11:18] ronin
    Shut up and listen.
[11:20] ronin
    We recognize you as Naoe
    Kanetsugu of the Uesugi clan.
[11:24] mosuke
    So what if he is?
[11:25] ronin
    We have heard that you
[11:28] ---
    will be mediating Yamada Kihachi's
    current wife's uwanariuchi.
[11:32] ronin
    We'd like you to decline.
[11:34] kane
    Oh? Why might that be?
[11:37] ronin
    As you know, Maeda Keiji-dono
[11:40] ---
    will be participating
    in this uwanariuchi.
[11:44] ronin
    Keiji-dono is a legitimate eccentric.
[11:47] ronin
    Despite it being a fight among women,
    there is no doubt
[11:50] ronin
    that he will not care,
     and there will be bloodshed.
[11:53] ronin
    But we have heard that
[11:56] ---
    a retainer of the Uesugi
    clan will be mediating.
[11:58] ronin
    This will just make
    things more difficult.
[12:01] ronin
    That is why we would
    like you to withdraw.
[12:05] kane
    I see.
[12:06] ---
    So you'd like to hurry
    and receive the cash that
[12:09] ---
    will be given to stop this feud.
[12:11] ronin
    Shut your mouth!
[12:12] ronin
    We are just trying to stop
[12:14] ---
    anyone from getting hurt
    during this uwanariuchi!
[12:17] ronin
    First of all, you are
    obviously unarmed!
[12:21] ---
    You cannot refuse!
[12:22] kane
    Well then. Are you here
    on Keiji-dono's behalf?
[12:25] ronin
    That doesn't matter!
[12:40] mosuke
    That's...
[12:42] kane
    I ask again.
[12:43] ---
    Are you here on Keiji-dono's behalf?
[12:47] ronin
    Sh-Sh-Shut up!
[12:48] ronin
    We have no reason to answer!
[12:55] ninja
    No shinobi would ever leave
    his master completely unarmed.
[13:02] kane
    Thank you for the information in regards
[13:04] ---
    to Keiji-dono absconding, Jirobo.
[13:08] kane
    Because of that, I now see
    the truth behind this uwanariuchi.
[13:24] guy
    Kihachi...
[13:26] guy
    calm yourself.
[13:28] hachi
    Y-You say that, but we're
    dealing with Maeda Keiji!
[13:32] hachi
    My body is shaking on its own!
[13:34] guy
    Good grief. I apologize
    for this, Kanetsugu-sama.
[13:40] guy
    But why did you divorce
    your previous wife
[13:44] ---
    and marry your new one within a month?
[13:50] guy
    If you had waited,
    there wouldn't be such
[13:52] ---
    a grudge, and this whole thing
    could have been avoided.
[13:55] hachi
    But I was lonely...
[13:56] kane
    Indeed...
[13:58] kane
    The only one here with no
    righteousness is Kihachi.
[14:00] mosuke
    I wonder if Maeda
    Keiji's really coming?
[14:04] jirobo
    Jeez...
[14:06] jirobo
    Kanetsugu-sama told us to stay behind.
[14:10] mosuke
    Well, if this guy's that much
    of an eccentric, I'd like to see it.
[14:15] mosuke
    That, and there's something
    that concerns me.
[14:18] jirobo
    Concerns you?
[14:19] mosuke
    Yeah. About the master
    yesterday at the bath..
[14:23] mosuke
    He looked like something
    else yesterday.
[14:28] jirobo
    Something else?
[14:30] mosuke
    I swear I've seen it before...
[14:33] mosuke
    Do you happen to know, Jirobo?
[14:36] jirobo
    Did you see it?
[14:38] mosuke
    Huh?
[14:40] jirobo
    If you saw it, forget about it!
[14:42] mosuke
    B-But what was that...
[14:45] jirobo
    I can tell you, but are you
    prepared to die for it?
[14:49] mosuke
    Huh? Die for it? Why?
[14:52] jirobo
    That is something Kanetsugu-sama
    is going to take to his grave.
[14:56] jirobo
    You're better off not knowing.
[15:00] mosuke
    O-Okay...
[15:03] jirobo
    Looks like they're here.
[15:12] new
    Everyone, get ready.
    We are going to strike.
[15:15] ladies
    Right!
[15:18] hachi
    Th-They're here!
[15:25] old
    You know why it's come to this.
[15:29] new
    I haven't done anything wrong,
    but it appears this is inevitable.
[15:34] old
    You have good resolve.
[15:36] ---
    But don't think this battle
    will end so easily.
[15:40] old
    Maeda-sama! I formally
    ask for your help!
[15:44] fake
    Right. Leave it to me.
[15:48] hachi
    Th-That's Maeda Keiji?
[15:53] hachi
    He looks strong...
[15:55] hachi
    There's no chance!
[15:56] ---
    I-I'll have the money
    prepared immediately!
[15:58] hachi
    Ow!
[15:59] guy
    Shut your mouth...
[16:01] guy
    Kanetsugu-sama.
[16:12] mosuke
    Looks like the master
    isn't going to wait to fight.
[16:24] kane
    Excuse me.
[16:42] fake
    You appear to be
[16:44] ---
    Naoe Kanetsugu of the Uesugi clan,
    but what do you want?
[16:49] kane
    Indeed... You shall not interfere
    with this uwanariuchi.
[16:54] fake
    Oh? You plan to take me on
    with that fly swatter?
[16:59] kane
    Indeed.
[17:00] fake
    Are you implying that I'm a fly?
[17:04] kane
    Indeed. A fly after money.
[17:07] fake
    Wh-What?!
[17:10] fake
    Oh? Ah, the arbitrary cash. I see.
[17:15] fake
    So you have readied it.
[17:25] fake
    These are...
[17:27] kane
    It's as it looks.
[17:29] kane
    They are the heads of the minions
    you sent after me yesterday.
[17:35] kane
    What you should be doing now
    is not act as their helper,
[17:40] kane
    but to hold a service for these men.
[17:43] kane
    Isn't that your righteousness?
[17:48] kane
    Now, let's see it!
[17:51] kane
    Your righteousness
    towards these men!
[17:55] mosuke
    S-See! There it is again!
    That shadow...
[17:58] mosuke
    It's almost like Bishamon...
[18:02] mosuke
    I-I mean... I must be seeing things.
[18:06] fake
    I don't know who these men are!
[18:09] fake
    They have nothing to do with me!
[18:13] fake
    Who do you think I am?
[18:17] fake
    I'm Maeda—
[18:17] keiji
    You're Maeda Keiji.
[18:19] fake
    Th-That's right! Exactly right!
[18:23] fake
    I don't know who you might be,
[18:25] ---
    but you seem to comprehend
    what's going on.
[18:28] fake
    Why don't you tell him
    who I am? Tell this fool!
[18:40] fake
    Huh? You're kidding... seriously?
[18:45] fake
    Maeda Keiji?! Th-The real one!
[18:48] fake
    Damn it!
[19:04] keiji
    You're not worth rusting my spear.
[19:07] kane
    Indeed, he is not worth it.
[19:14] hachi
    I-Is he dead?!
[19:19] guy
    It's as if a tiger just struck...
[19:22] mosuke
    Wh-What's going on?
[19:25] jirobo
    As you can see,
[19:27] ---
    an eccentric who had heard
    the details of this uwanariuchi
[19:32] jirobo
    suggested the money to the ex-wife
[19:34] ---
    and said that he was Maeda Keiji.
[19:39] jirobo
    The men yesterday were also involved.
[19:42] jirobo
    Hearing that Naoe-sama was now involved,
[19:45] ---
    they tried to stop him.
[19:49] keiji
    Naoe-dono, it's been a while since
    the battle at Kasugayama Castle.
[19:55] kane
    Maeda Keiji-dono.
[19:57] keiji
    I know what's going on.
[20:00] ---
    Do as you please.
[20:02] kane
    You... Hear me!
[20:05] kane
    This is not an uwanariuchi!
[20:08] kane
    It is a battle of life or death!
[20:11] kane
    Therefore, we will not be involved.
[20:14] kane
    I, Naoe, and Maeda-dono shall observe.
[20:17] kane
    Fight to your heart's content!
[20:23] hachi
    Y-You can't be serious!
[20:39] mosuke
    Wow, this has definitely
    turned into something...
[21:02] keiji
    Are you sure you're okay with this?
[21:05] ---
    That man will be killed.
[21:06] kane
    No one will come out
[21:08] ---
    righteous from this fight
    if we were to stop it.
[21:11] keiji
    But I hear that man's father is
    a chief vassal of the Uesugi clan.
[21:19] kane
    If anyone has a problem with it,
[21:22] kane
    I shall deal with them in battle.
[21:31] kane
    Please feel free to laugh.
[21:34] kane
    This is my righteousness.
[21:56] both
    Let us drink!
SIGN    Episode 3 Keiji's Righteousness
[23:40] Kane
    Next time on Gifuu Doudou: Kanetsugu and Keiji:
[23:45] kane
    Episode 3
    "Keiji's Righteousness."
[23:48] kane
    Let us discuss the path
    of righteousness next time, as well.
