[00:26] Hideyoshi
    Kanetsugu.
[00:27] Hideyoshi
    Let this sight impress itself on your eyes.
[00:31] Hideyoshi
    Takeda Shingen, Lord Nobunaga,
[00:34] Hideyoshi
    and even Uesugi Kenshin
    couldn't pull it off...
[00:41] Hideyoshi
    But I have conquered Odawara Castle!
[00:47] Keiji
    So that was the downfall
    that ended five generations
[00:51] Keiji
    of the Hojo clan after Soun.
[00:54] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[00:56] Kanetsugu
    A castle might be impregnable,
[00:58] Kanetsugu
    but it's people who defend it, after all.
[01:01] Kanetsugu
    That overnight castle...
[01:03] Kanetsugu
    is enough to demoralize our troops.
[01:09] Kanetsugu
    And that is what...
[01:10] Kanetsugu
    the Hojo father and son came to realize
[01:12] Kanetsugu
    at that time...
[01:19] Kanetsugu
    And...
[01:21] Kanetsugu
    It wasn't long before
    Odawara came to an end.
[01:28] Kanetsugu
    There was a man who
    showed up at Uesugi's camp...
[01:34] Guard
    Whoops.
[01:35] Guard
    Huh?
[01:36] Guard
    Wow.
[01:37] Guard
    Big!
[01:38] Guard
    What the...
[01:46] Sakon
    Nice day we're having.
[01:49] Guard
    Uh... Yeah...

[03:32] Varlet
    Milord.
[03:33] Kanetsugu
    Hm?
[03:35] Varket
    Shima Sakon-sama is here.
[03:37] Kanetsugu
    Well...
[03:38] Varlet
    He has come from Yamato,
    as a messenger of Toyotomi Hidenaga-sama.
[03:43] Kanetsugu
    What?!
[03:44] Kanetsugu
    From Lord Toyotomi Hidenaga of Yamato?
[03:47] Nar
    Toyotomi Hidenaga...
[03:50] Nar
    is the younger brother of Hideyoshi.
[03:53] Nar
    There was a saying
    in the rulership of Toyotomi:
[03:54] Nar
    "Rikyu is in charge of internal affairs.
[03:57] Nar
    Hidenaga is in charge of public affairs."
[04:00] Nar
    Hidenaga was Hideyoshi's most
    trustworthy right-hand man.
[04:04] Nar
    But now, he was bedridden from illness

[04:08] Nar
    at the mountain castle
    of his fief at Yamato Province.
[04:10] Nar
    His ailing health kept him
    from the Odawara encampment.
[04:13] Nar
    Hence Sakon was dispatched
    to convey Hidenaga's message.
[04:23] Sakon
    Nara's sculptors of Shukuin
    have been murdered.
[04:29] Sakon
    The culprits were Iga ninjas.
[04:43] Sakon
    Shukuin is Hidenaga-sama's
    home away from home,
[04:47] Sakon
    thus I get news of everything
    that happens there.
[04:52] Kanetsugu
    The Iga ninjas are
    Tokugawa's men...
[04:55] Kanetsugu
    they are in search of
    a Jizo Bodhisattva statue.
[04:59] Sakon
    You knew of this?
[05:02] Sakon
    In that case, my job here is done.
[05:04] Sakon
    If you will pardon me.
[05:13] Kanetsugu
    This kind of job is beneath
    your position, Shima-dono.
[05:19] Sakon
    Uesugi of the eastern provinces
    is keeping Tokugawa in check...
[05:23] Sakon
    If it weren't for you,
    the Toyotomi empire would not exist.
[05:28] Sakon
    We need you,
[05:29] Sakon
    as long as Ieyasu's ambition
    burns for national conquest.
[05:34] Sakon
    That is the message
    of Hidenaga-sama for you.
[05:40] Sakon
    However, the matter
[05:41] Sakon
    is to be kept strictly under wraps.
[05:44] Sakon
    If others catch wind of it...
[05:48] Kanetsugu
    Hold it!
[05:50] Sakon
    What?
[06:01] Keiji
    Stop right there.
[06:04] Kanetsugu
    Hm?
[06:05] Keiji
    Turn the story back.
[06:07] Keiji
    Didn't White Cloud and
    Jirobo head to the capital?
[06:12] Kanetsugu
    Oh, yes.
[06:15] Kanetsugu
    White Cloud came to inform
    us about Jirobo's situation.
[06:24] Sakon
    What is this...
[06:25] Kanetsugu
    This is White Cloud,
    a fighter dog...
[06:28] Kanetsugu
    He is a vassal of mine.
[06:30] Sakon
    You don't say...
[06:34] Kanetsugu
    Attendant of Jirobo.
[06:37] Kanetsugu
    You have done well.
[06:41] Kanetsugu
    Hm?
[06:46] Sakon
    He even carries messages?
[06:47] Kanetsugu
    It would take two days for
    White Cloud to reach the capital.
[06:53] Sakon
    Well, in a matter of two days, you say!
[06:58] Sakon
    What's the matter?
[07:00] Kanetsugu
    According to the report,
    the Jizo Bodhisattva has been taken.
[07:06] Sakon
    What?
[07:07] Sakon
    By Tokugawa?
[07:11] Kanetsugu
    No... You see...
[07:35] Daiyoin
    Are you a messenger from the afterlife?
[07:39] Jirobo
    It has been a long time...
[07:40] Jirobo
    It is I, Jirobo, Lord Kenshin's ninja.
[07:44] Daiyoin
    Draw near.
[07:47] Daiyoin
    Let me see you...
[07:54] Daiyoin
    Your face...
[07:56] Daiyoin
    I have never forgotten you.
[07:59] Daiyoin
    Thank you for watching out for Taehime.
[08:04] Jirobo
    Yes.
[08:06] Daiyoin
    What can I do for you?
[08:10] Jirobo
    Where is Lord Kenshin's Jizo Bodhisattva?
[08:16] Jirobo
    I can't find it anywhere in here.
[08:22] Daiyoin
    He...
[08:25] Daiyoin
    took it away.
[08:27] Jirobo
    "He"?
[08:29] Daiyoin
    Yes.
[08:31] Daiyoin
    It was the year 1582...
[08:43] Daiyoin
    What is the matter?
[08:45] Daiyoin
    Why are you so nervous?
[08:48] Daiyoin
    Calm yourself.
[08:51] Servant
    O-O-Oda-sama is...
[08:54] Daiyoin
    Oda-sama?
[08:58] Servant
    O-Oda... ma...
[09:15] Jirobo
    Lord Oda Nobunaga?
[09:18] Sakon
    My goodness.
[09:22] Sakon
    This war is bigger than anticipated.
[09:25] Sakon
    An unexpected actor has entered the stage...
[09:30] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[09:36] Daiyoin
    Lord.
[09:38] Daiyoin
    Our resident headmaster
    is not here at this time.
[09:41] Nobunaga
    I know.
[09:43] Nobunaga
    Doesn't matter.
[09:50] Nobunaga
    Hey, Kenshin.
[09:52] Nobunaga
    Echigo's downfall is impending.
[09:54] Nobunaga
    The land of your righteousness.
[09:57] Daiyoin
    Is this true, Lord?
[10:00] Nar
    At that time, Echigo had
    been completed surrounded
[10:03] Nar
    by Oda's armies, in three directions.
[10:06] Nar
    Indeed, their doom was imminent.
[10:10] Nobunaga
    Daiyoin.
[10:12] Nobunaga
    I'm told the eyes of this Jizo
[10:13] Nobunaga
    are copies of the eyes
    of Kenshin and Taehime's son.
[10:18] Daiyoin
    Yes.
[10:20] Daiyoin
    Thus, the statue has been here
    by Taehime's memorial tablet.
[10:23] Nobunaga
    There is nothing in the world
    more imbued with Kenshin's spirit...
[10:27] Nobunaga
    than this statue.
[10:29] Nobunaga
    It means that it is...
[10:31] Nobunaga
    Kenshin himself!
[10:34] Daiyoin
    Wh-What are you doing...
[10:37] Nobunaga
    Oh, Jizo Bodhisattva,
    accompany me on my journey.
[10:40] Nobunaga
    We shall be going to Echigo right away.
[10:43] Nobunaga
    Echigo will be ruled by me...
    witness it with your eyes.
[10:49] Daiyoin
    This is an outrage.
[10:50] Daiyoin
    Why are you doing this?
[11:03] Daiyoin
    Lord.
[11:08] Nobunaga
    Out of everything in these times of civil war...
[11:11] Nobunaga
    Kenshin has always been my greatest fear.
[11:15] Nobunaga
    And to me, my most feared enemy,
    is also my truest friend.
[11:27] Daiyoin
    Lord.
[11:29] Nobunaga
    I am taking this to honor my friend.
[11:38] Daiyoin
    I am certain I saw...
[11:43] Daiyoin
    sadness in his eyes.
[11:53] Jirobo
    And...
[11:54] Jirobo
    where did he take the Bodhisattva statue?
[11:57] Daiyoin
    Nobody knows.
[12:01] Jirobo
    What?
[12:02] Daiyoin
    The next day...
[12:06] Daiyoin
    who knew such a thing would happen...
[12:11] Jirobo
    N-No...
[12:19] Daiyoin
    It happened...
[12:24] Daiyoin
    The Honnoji Temple Incident.
[13:28] Nobunaga
    Frolicking with the moon
    from the southern watchtower,
[13:38] Nobunaga
    I, too, will hide behind a convenient cloud,
    even before the moon.
[13:47] Nobunaga
    Compared to the transforming heavens,
[14:02] Nobunaga
    the human life of fifty years
    is but a dream, a mirage.
[14:22] Nobunaga
    Once one is born,
[14:28] Nobunaga
    is there anyone who will not die?
[14:34] Nobunaga
    Is there anyone who will not die?
[14:41] Nobunaga
    Is there anyone who will not die?
[15:02] Keiji
    So, it went to Honnoji...
[15:08] Keiji
    if that's the case, it's lost for good.
[15:12] Keiji
    Who'd imagine that Lord Nobunaga
[15:17] Keiji
    took it with him to the afterlife?
[15:20] Kanetsugu
    Yes.
[15:21] Keiji
    The Jizo Bodhisattva was burned,
[15:24] Keiji
    and the curtains came down
    on Lord Ieyasu's schemes.
[15:28] Kanetsugu
    So it seems...
[15:30] Keiji
    What?
[15:31] Keiji
    That's not what happened?
[15:33] Kanetsugu
    Well, one unexpected thing led to another...
[15:44] Jirobo
    Show yourself.
[15:46] Jirobo
    Sagen.
[16:07] Sagen
    Jirobo.
[16:09] Sagen
    You cannot escape me.
[16:17] Jirobo
    How did you know I was here?
[16:20] Sagen
    There was a sculptor
    of Nara's Shukuin who said
[16:22] Sagen
    he had seen the Bodhisattva
    statue at Honnoji Temple...
[16:26] Sagen
    the day before the Honnoji Incident.
[16:31] Jirobo
    And?
[16:32] Sagen
    If it were hidden somewhere around here...
[16:35] Sagen
    I knew you'd show up eventually.
[16:40] Jirobo
    Too bad...
[16:42] Jirobo
    that Jizo Bodhisattva went up
    in flames with Lord Nobunaga.
[16:47] Sagen
    And you expect me to believe that?
[16:50] Jirobo
    It's a fact.
[16:53] Sagen
    In that case...
[16:56] Sagen
    we'll have to ask your body, once again.
[17:02] Sagen
    Hm?
[17:03] Jirobo
    Kill me.
[17:07] Jirobo
    I don't know where it is.
[17:09] Jirobo
    You don't know where it is.
[17:11] Jirobo
    No one knows where it is.
[17:16] Jirobo
    At least Uesugi is protected now.
[17:22] Sagen
    Damn you!
[17:26] Voice
    I know.
[17:29] Sagen
    What?
[17:30] Voice
    I know where the Jizo Bodhisattva is.
[17:35] Jirobo
    What?
[17:53] Sagen
    What the...
[17:54] Jirobo
    He's no ordinary old man.
[17:56] Jirobo
    He went completely undetected by us.
[17:59] Sagen
    Who are you?
[18:02] Man
    I'm the caretaker...
[18:08] Man
    of Lord Nobunaga's grave.
[18:13] Jirobo
    This...
[18:15] Jirobo
    is Lord Nobunaga's grave?
[18:22] Man
    Yeah.
[18:23] Man
    This is where his lordship died.
[18:26] Man
    There wasn't even a bone remaining of him.
[18:30] Man
    Could there be a more
    appropriate place for his grave?
[18:38] Sagen
    And?
[18:39] Sagen
    Where's the Jizo?
[18:43] Man
    I hid that Jizo in a specific place,
[18:48] Man
    by his lordship's command.
[18:50] Sagen
    What?
[18:53] Man
    That's right.
[18:54] Man
    I hid it in a cemetery,
[18:57] Man
    beneath a headstone.
[18:59] Sagen
    Then tell us.
[19:01] Man
    Sure.
[19:02] Man
    I'll tell you.
[19:07] Man
    First you, Jirobo.
[19:10] Man
    Lend me your ears.
[19:13] Jirobo
    What?
[19:24] Jirobo
    Oh... What was that...
[19:29] Man
    Don't worry. Sagen couldn't hear it.
[19:33] Jirobo
    Splendid skill.
[19:34] Jirobo
    That was the "hidden speech" technique.
[19:37] Sagen
    The "hidden speech" technique?
[19:39] Man
    Sagen.
[19:40] Man
    Now you lend me your ears.
[19:50] Sagen
    What is this...
[19:54] Sagen
    But, it's not enough information.
[19:57] Sagen
    What's the name on the headstone?
[20:03] Man
    I told it to Jirobo.
[20:10] Jirobo
    It seems he told you where the cemetery is...
[20:14] Jirobo
    and he told me the name on the headstone.
[20:20] Man
    In other words...
[20:22] Man
    if you two are joined,
[20:24] Man
    you'll easily find the Bodhisattva statue.
[20:29] Jirobo
    But if he knows the cemetery,
[20:32] Jirobo
    they could dig up each and every grave there.
[20:35] Man
    Do you think I'd tell him about
    some worthless cemetery like that?
[20:39] Man
    What do you say, Sagen?
[20:43] Man
    And you, too, Jirobo.
[20:45] Man
    You can't take the name on the
    headstone to your own grave, either.
[20:52] Man
    Because notwithstanding
    the kind of cemetery it is...
[20:54] Man
    there's a chance Sagen might go on a dig,
[20:57] Man
    and find the statue.
[21:00] Man
    Which would be a problem for you.
[21:11] Man
    The two of you better learn to get along.
[21:18] Sagen
    Damn you...
[21:20] Sagen
    such ridiculous mendacity.
[21:22] Sagen
    I don't believe you!
[21:35] Man
    So you don't believe me, huh?
[21:38] Man
    In that case...
[21:42] Man
    How about now?
[21:51] Jirobo
    Th-That face...
[21:54] Sagen
    Lord Nobunaga!
