[00:07] kane     Around that time, Hideyoshi's     former enemy, Sassa Narimasa, [00:10] kane     was sent to lead     the Kyushu government, [00:13] kane     sending him to Higo from Etchu. [00:16] keiji     It appeared to be a joyous event, [00:19] keiji     but Higo was in turmoil. [00:22] keiji     Narimasa was met with     opposition from the citizens, [00:25] keiji     and couldn't contain the revolts. [00:27] kane     Sassa Narimasa had to commit     seppuku because of misrule. [00:32] kane     His family collapsed. [00:34] kane     But Hideyoshi had foreseen all of this [00:36] kane     and was the one who     set up this ingenious trap. [00:39] kane     And that same trap has now     been set for us, the Uesugi clan. [00:43] hide     Do you not want Sado,     Uesugi-dono? [00:51] kane     Since he had not been able     to stop the civil war in Sado, [00:56] kane     there was nothing     he could say in return. [00:58] kane     Despite knowing this was a trap [01:00] kane     that Hideyoshi had set     in order to obtain Echigo, [01:02] kane     we headed into Sado to conquer it. [01:06] kane     And that was when... [01:13] keiji     It's obvious that my conniving uncle     is involved in this matter. [01:19] kane     But this battle [01:21] kane     is like sticking your head     into the tiger's den... [01:26] keiji     It's because you are battling a tiger [01:29] keiji     that I have come to help. [01:32] keiji     That is my righteousness! [01:35] kane     That's what you said, wasn't it? [01:41] nar     Two eccentrics enter battle. [01:47] nar     Dazzling Sengoku Period Story:     Kanetsugu and Keiji. [01:51] nar     Gifuu Doudou!! SIGN    Arrival in Sado [03:19] man     I have to hurry! At this rate, [03:21] man     all of our efforts     will have been for nothing! [03:30] lady     Pardon me. [03:32] lady     If you'd like, I shall say     a Buddhist chant for you. [03:36] man     Shut up! I don't have time for— [03:44] man     You bitch... [03:54] jiro     I'm sorry! I didn't make it in time. [03:57] lady     W-We have to tell them... [04:02] lady     That land is... [04:08] jiro     Th-That's... [04:11] hide     Sado! [04:16] toshi     I see... [04:21] hide     The Kawarada-Honma     clan of northern Sado, [04:25] hide     and the Hamochi-Honma     clan of southern Sado... [04:30] hide     What a troublesome clan. [04:33] toshi     Fighting over land     for the supremacy of Sado, [04:37] toshi     they have no intention     of listening to Uesugi's mediation. [04:42] hide     But because of that, [04:46] hide     it seems that Uesugi will be bringing [04:49] hide     a giant army to Sado this time. [04:52] toshi     Amusingly, because of that,     the two feuding clans [04:57] toshi     will join together to ensure     that no one takes Sado. [05:03] hide     That is how people are. [05:09] nar     June 10, 1589. Sawane Harbor. SIGN    June 10, 1589, Sawane Harbor [05:22] keiji     Land boldly floating     in the wide open sea... [05:25] keiji     what a grand sight. [05:28] keiji     On top of that,     thinking about the trap [05:31] keiji     that awaits us on that island     just makes me even more excited. [05:36] kane     I expect nothing less from you, Keiji-dono. [05:40] kane     Behold, Kagekatsu-sama. [05:43] kane     The advance army lead by     Fujita Nobuyoshi-dono is already waiting. [05:49] kage     Indeed. [05:50] kane     And, apparently, the stewards     of northern Sado await our arrival. [05:56] keiji     Those dogs. I wonder what     they have up their sleeves. [06:01] kage     Let us get them drunk     and make them talk. [06:08] keiji     That would be amusing. [06:12] kane     However... [06:13] kane     it's not the dogs who have laid out this trap. [06:18] kane     The real enemy behind this [06:21] kane     is the tiger hiding behind the dogs. [06:29] kage     So how shall we lure him out? [06:38] kane     Fear not. [06:40] kane     I have a secret plan in motion. [06:55] fat     Uesugi, my ass. How annoying. [07:02] guy     Reporting. [07:03] guy     Uesugi's main army has landed. [07:10] guy     Takatsuna-sama, will Uesugi trust us? [07:18] fat     Well, just watch. [07:20] fat     I'll make him trust us. [07:23] nar     This man is Honma Takatsuna.     The head of the Kawarada-Honma clan, [07:26] nar     which reigned over northern Sado. SIGN     Honma Takatsuna [07:28] nar     Honma Takatsuna SIGN    Hamochi County SIGN    Hamochi Castle SIGN    Kawarada Castle Sawato County [07:31] ---     At the time, Sado was     its own kingdom. [07:35] nar     After the Jokyu War in 1221, SIGN    Kamo County [07:38] nar     the Honma clan that was     transferred to the island [07:44] nar     had split up all across the land,     establishing their own territories, [07:47] nar     and then fought over     supremacy of the land. [07:51] nar     Eventually, two of the clans succeeded: [07:54] nar     the northern clan of Kawarada-Honma,     who sided with Shibata Shigeie [07:58] nar     and the Hamochi-Honma clan,     who put Uesugi Kagekatsu behind them, [08:03] nar     thus, intensifying the fight     for supremacy of Sado. [08:09] nar     Two years prior, however,     Shibata was destroyed by Uesugi, [08:15] nar     and Uesugi had then tried to take over Sado. [08:26] kage     Head of the Honma clan,     raise your head. [08:41] fat     Greetings, my lord. [08:44] fat     Welcome to Sado. [08:48] kage     How goes the battle? [08:49] fat     Huh? Oh, right! [08:52] fat     The Hamochi of the south     refuse to listen to your mediation, [08:55] fat     despite you being their lord,     Uesugi-sama. [08:58] fat     They are planning to battle with us Kawarada. [09:03] fat     However, Kagekatsu-sama,     we have resolved ourselves. [09:08] fat     Please, please, please [09:11] fat     leave the vanguard to me,     Honma Takatsuna. [09:15] fat     That would be my greatest honor. [09:20] fat     Please, please. [09:23] fat     Vanguard, vanguard.     Smile, smile. [09:27] kage     Well said. [09:31] fat     Thank you! I am honored! [09:33] lackies     We are honored! [09:39] keiji     That dog... [09:40] keiji     he has no idea that     his deception has failed. [09:45] kane     Let's allow them to do     their little dance for a while. [10:20] mosuke     My lord! I found it! [10:22] mosuke     We can see the battlefield from up here. [10:32] kane     This is splendid. [10:34] nar     A river flows through the land [10:36] nar     as if intentionally     splitting Sado in half. [10:39] nar     The Kawarada-Honma     clan of the north [10:42] nar     and the Hamochi-Honma     clan of the south [10:45] nar     fought along this river. [10:48] nar     But it was also the site     of a stalemate for both parties. [11:08] fuji     Takatsuna-dono!     I request an audience with you! [11:17] fat     Oww... [11:18] fat     What the hell do you want? Jeez... [11:21] fuji     What is the meaning of this,     Takatsuna-dono? [11:25] fat     Meaning? Meaning of what? [11:27] fuji     It is good that you have been put in charge     of the vanguard for Kagekatsu-sama [11:30] fuji     and have set up camp on this land, [11:32] fuji     but we've just been in a staring contest [11:34] fuji     with the Hamochi army     and haven't had a single battle! [11:36] fuji     What is the meaning of this? [11:38] fat     You don't understand the war     of Sado, Fujita-dono. [11:42] fat     We have fought repeatedly over     supremacy of Sado for years. [11:48] fat     I know the enemy     like the back of my hand. [11:51] fuji     If that's the case, get along with it! [11:52] fat     No. [11:53] fat     Both armies know the other     like the backs of their hands, [11:56] fat     meaning it'd be better to not     thoughtlessly make any moves, right now. [12:00] fuji     Thoughtlessly? [12:04] fuji     Oh, forget it! [12:07] fuji     If all else fails, I will take     the first step into battle. [12:11] fuji     Do you understand,     Takatsuna-dono? [12:17] fat     Uh, you really shouldn't. [12:24] fat     Oh, well. Whatever, then. [12:29] fuji     Charge! [12:35] fuji     Look! They're so frightened     that they can't even move. [12:39] fuji     We shall take care of them     in a single blow! [12:46] fuji     What? [12:50] fuji     Wh-What? [12:56] fuji     Look out! The reeds! [12:58] fuji     They're hiding in the reeds! [13:08] soldiers     Now! [13:16] fuji     Wh-What... [13:19] fuji     Pull back! Pull back! Retreat! [13:21] fuji     Retreat! [13:32] fat     I told you so! [13:36] fat     Isn't that right, Takasue of the South? SIGN    Hamochi Castle [13:44] guy     I see. It appears     that Takatsuna of the Kawarada [13:48] guy     is manipulating     the Uesugi quite well. SIGN    Honma Takasue [13:54] nar     Honma Takasue is the lord of Hamochi Castle [13:58] nar     and is the lord of the Hamochi-Honma clan [13:59] nar     that governs southern Sado. [14:03] taka     But to think that the Uesugi army [14:06] taka     would go running     after a little attack like that. [14:11] taka     It appears that the Uesugi army     has gone downhill. [14:17] taka     And they thought they     could take over Sado. [14:20] taka     It's true that Kenshin     had authority over us [14:24] taka     but this Kagekatsu has     no right to try to govern us. [14:28] taka     The Uesugi clan should     just disappear while in Sado. [14:43] fuji     My apologies, Kagekatsu-sama! [14:50] fuji     I led the troops without permission     and with this kind of a result... [14:57] kage     It's fine. [14:58] fuji     But... [15:00] kane     Fujita-dono, this first battle     was not wasted. [15:05] kane     Actually, we were able     to find out quite a bit. [15:09] fuji     What do you mean by that, sir? [15:12] kane     Please look. [15:13] kane     The Hamochi army is heavily laid out,     determined not to let us cross the river. [15:20] fuji     That is, indeed, a troublesome defense. [15:23] fuji     But with the size     of our Uesugi army, [15:26] fuji     it is possible to push them     back with just our numbers. [15:29] kane     Yes, but if Takatsuna's army     were to attack us from behind... [15:37] fuji     That would leave us surrounded! [15:39] fuji     Does that mean the Sado armies... [15:41] kane     Indeed. As long as we know that     the two are working together, [15:46] kane     it's dangerous for us     to make the first move. [15:48] fuji     But the Kawarada army     won't move on its own. [15:53] fuji     That means a battle will never start. [15:56] keiji     So what shall we do? [15:58] keiji     Get them drunk and     make them talk, after all? [16:03] kane     No... More importantly... [16:14] mosuke     Where are you going? Jirobo? [16:24] keiji     This is... Buddhist chanting. [16:28] mosuke     At a place like this? [16:36] mosuke     Wh-What? [16:54] keiji     These women... [16:56] kane     Kumano Buddhist nuns. [16:58] kane     They bear the sorrows of the world [17:00] kane     and have no choice     but to rely on Buddha. [17:07] nar     The Kumano Buddhist nuns     were nuns who carried boxes [17:13] nar     with the Kumano mandalas     that visualized Paradise and Hell, [17:17] nar     making pilgrimages across the land     while interpreting the pictures. [17:22] nar     And this nun was     named Seion. SIGN    Sister Seion [17:27] nar     She is a nun who brought     the Kumano Kanshin Jukkai Mandala to Sado [17:32] nar     and eventually would be the one     to opened the red-light district in Sado. [17:37] mosuke     Wow, she's gorgeous. [17:49] seion     Those with Kaga dialect     have been going in and out [17:53] seion     of Kawarada Castle     and Hamochi Castle. [17:57] jiro     The Kaga shinobi of the Maeda clan. [18:00] mosuke     Shinobi? [18:02] mosuke     But how did you find that out? [18:04] mosuke     Shinobi wouldn't let their     identities be known that easily... [18:07] keiji     I see! [18:09] keiji     So Naoe-dono's secret plan was     to make use of these women. [18:15] seion     It's because we're     women that it works. [18:17] seion     Men... say things quite easily [18:21] seion     in bed. [18:25] keiji     Point taken... [18:28] seion     Naoe-sama, as you already know,     the north and the south [18:33] seion     are planning to continue     this facade of a war. [18:36] kane     What's the ulterior motive behind that? [18:38] seion     Hideyoshi's messenger     has already left Kyoto. [18:43] mosuke     Huh? What? Why would a messenger     of mediation have left [18:47] mosuke     if the battle hasn't started yet... [18:50] kane     That messenger will claim     the Uesugi clan is incompetent [18:54] kane     for not being able to bring     Sado under control. [18:59] mosuke     Sir? [19:00] keiji     I see. [19:05] keiji     That'd be more than     enough of an excuse [19:08] keiji     for Hideyoshi to take     the Uesugi clan's land from them. [19:13] mosuke     Th-That's so selfish! [19:15] jiro     No, this whole battle in Sado     was to render the Uesugi clan powerless. [19:24] kane     It appears that the identity     of the tiger is becoming apparent. [19:30] hide     But... [19:33] hide     You can't run now,     can you, Uesugi? SIGN    Uesugi [19:43] keiji     An island with no righteousness... [19:45] keiji     so that is Sado. [19:47] kane     No, that's not true. [19:52] keiji     Who is the one being cremated here? [19:57] seion     She was only fifteen... [20:00] seion     This nun... [20:02] seion     died to dispose of the Kaga     shinobi who was onto us. [20:10] jiro     If only... [20:12] jiro     If I was in Sado earlier,     I could have saved her life. [20:19] seion     It's all right.     This is also fate. [20:34] kane     This rugosa rose     was blooming on the shore. [20:39] kane     Please use it as a hair accessory     for your trip into the next world. [21:07] seion     Everything is for us to make     this land a safe land. [21:19] keiji     Then this nun was also... [21:24] keiji     a soldier. [21:38] keiji     Naoe-dono... [21:41] keiji     It appears we need to settle     this battle as soon as possible. [21:47] kane     Because of that, we... [22:03] both     ...become fierce dragons! SIGN    Episode 5 Attack on Sado [23:40] Kane     Next time on Gifuu Doudou:     Kanetsugu and Keiji: [23:44] kane     Episode 5     "Attack on Sado." [23:47] kane     Let us discuss the path     of righteousness next time, as well.
