[00:03] kane
    I have come to invite you to a battle.
[00:06] keiji
    A battle?
[00:08] kane
    Our enemy is Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
[00:11] keiji
    Wha...
[00:12] kane
    Facing Hideyoshi at Jurakudai
    would be a good opportunity.
[00:16] kane
    As long as we can prepare
    for our possible deaths,
[00:19] kane
    he is not an unbeatable enemy.
[00:25] keiji
    For crying out loud...
[00:27] keiji
    At that moment, I was
    shocked and speechless,
[00:31] keiji
    at what kind of man you were.
[00:34] kane
    And I felt rather bad that I had
    invited you to a hopeless, losing battle.
[00:40] keiji
    I didn't mind.
[00:41] keiji
    We are both men of war.
[00:43] keiji
    There was nothing to fear,
    even if it was just the two of us.
[00:47] kane
    Actually, there was one
    other at that time...
[00:53] keiji
    Oh? And by that, you mean...
[00:57] kane
    My spear-bearer, Mosuke.
[01:03] kane
    For our audience with the Chief Advisor,
[01:06] kane
    you and I had left,
    via separate routes, to get to Kyoto.
[01:11] kane
    I thought it would be my first trip
    alone in quite a while, but...
[01:24] kane
    Mosuke!
[01:25] mosuke
    I finally... caught up with you!
[01:28] mosuke
    How dare you leave me behind?!
[01:31] kane
    You...
[01:33] kane
    Why did you follow me?
[01:34] mosuke
    "Why"?!
[01:36] kane
    I told you.
[01:37] kane
    This would be a losing battle.
[01:39] kane
    There's no need for you
    to come die with me.
[01:42] mosuke
    What are you talking about, Milord?
[01:44] mosuke
    Did you forget what you had said
    to me back then on this very land?
[01:50] kane
    Me?
[01:53] mosuke
    Yeah.
[01:54] mosuke
    This is my spear.
[01:56] mosuke
    That this is the spear that I bear.
[02:01] kane
    I see...
[02:03] kane
    This is Azuchi's land.
[02:05] kane
    And where we had met.

SIGN    The Eccentric, Yoroku
[03:50] guys
    Heave ho! Heave ho!
[03:55] guys
    Heave ho! Heave ho!
[03:58] guy
    Louder! I can't hear you! Louder!
[04:00] guy
    Louder!
[04:04] Nar
    January, 1576.
[04:06] Nar
    Oda Nobunaga announced
    the construction of Azuchi Castle,
[04:11] nar
    took the initiative to live on this land,
[04:14] nar
    and oversaw the construction
    of the castle himself.
[04:18] nar
    Because of that,
    at the base of Mt. Azuchi,
[04:22] nar
    there were tens of thousands
    of laborers who were lined up in shacks.
[04:29] nar
    The merchants who went there for that reason,
    enjoyed themselves with prostitutes.
[04:35] nar
    However...
[04:39] guy
    Do you want to die?!
[04:42] guy
    Hurry up and give me that woman!
[04:45] mosuke
    P-Please! Anyone but her!
[04:50] guy
    Why you...
[04:52] guy 2
    Now, now. No need for violence.
[04:57] guy
    Boss.
[05:00] boss
    We can talk this out.
[05:04] boss
    Just gotta say it, so he understands.
[05:07] boss
    We found that girl on the battlefields
    of Shinano, and she is my slave.
[05:13] boss
    It's only right that you return
    her to her rightful owner.
[05:17] mosuke
    B-But I had bought her from
    a merchant for five kan!
[05:21] boss
    And?
[05:23] boss
    That merchant stole her
    from me and sold her.
[05:28] boss
    If you have a problem, discuss it
    with that thief of a merchant.
[05:31] mosuke
    Please don't!
[05:34] mosuke
    She's not a slave anymore!
[05:36] mosuke
    She's my wife!
[05:38] mosuke
    She even has a baby in her belly!
[05:40] boss
    Oh... a baby, you say?
[05:43] boss
    Well, how about this...
    in terms you understand.
[05:46] boss
    I'll let you keep them
    both for ten kan.
[05:51] mosuke
    Ten kan?!
[05:53] mosuke
    I-I don't have that kind of money!
[05:55] boss
    Then the talk ends here.
[05:57] boss
    Take or be taken is
    the law of the warring era.
[06:01] boss
    I'll just have to take back
    what's mine by force.
[06:06] boss
    This should be easy to understand.
[06:15] yoroku
    Well, I'd say there's
    a problem with that logic.
[06:20] yoroku
    I don't believe that's how things
     are done in Azuchi.
[06:24] boss
    Who the hell are you, monk?
[06:26] yoroku
    The righteousness
    of the price of commodity:
[06:28] yoroku
    Even if something is stolen,
[06:31] yoroku
    if the owner doesn't know that,
    they will not be punished.
[06:35] yoroku
    I thought that was the rule
    in the city of Azuchi.
[06:38] boss
    Huh?
[06:39] boss
    What the hell are you talking about?
[06:42] yoroku
    Meaning, if a person
    bought something that he
[06:45] yoroku
    didn't know was stolen,
    they are not at fault.
[06:47] yoroku
    Even though it was stolen, the one
    from whom it was stolen can't complain.
[06:52] yoroku
    Didn't you see that written
    on the official bulletin board?
[06:55] guy
    You idiot!
[06:56] guy
    Our boss can't read
    something that difficult!
[07:03] boss
    Oh, is that so?
[07:05] boss
    A rule like that was written
    on the bulletin board, eh?
[07:08] boss
    But sadly, my eyes are pretty bad,
    so I didn't see anything like that.
[07:15] yoroku
    Then are those eyes
    of yours just for show?
[07:18] boss
    Yep, they're just for show.
[07:20] boss
    How about I give them to ya?
[07:24] yoroku
    Sniff, sniff, sniff.
[07:26] yoroku
    Sniff, sniff, sniff...
[07:28] yoroku
    sniff.
[07:30] yoroku
    Hey.
[07:32] yoroku
    You sure those eyes aren't rotten?
[07:34] yoroku
    They smell so bad that
    they're like rotten fish!
[07:37] boss
    My eyes... are rotten fish?
[07:40] yoroku
    Yeah, even cats would step
    over that stench.
[07:46] boss
    You dare mock me, monk?!
[07:55] boss
    Ow!
[08:00] boss
    Huh?
[08:01] boss
    Huh? What?
[08:02] boss
    My eye...
[08:04] boss
    Hey, is it attached?
[08:06] boss
    My eye.
[08:07] boss
    Is it attached?
[08:09] guy
    Uh, no... It's not
    attached, right?
[08:12] guy
    Y-Yeah...
[08:22] mosuke
    Still want to go at it?
[08:34] yoroku
    Ha!
[08:35] yoroku
    A cat really did step over it!
[08:43] yoroku
    Hey, is your baby safe?
[08:46] mosuke
    Y-Yes!
[08:47] mosuke
    Th-Thank you very much!
[08:50] wifey
    Thank you very much...
[08:56] keiji
    So that was how you
    met the spear-bearer.
[09:00] kane
    Yes.
[09:02] kane
    That was the time
    when I went to Azuchi
[09:05] kane
    because I wanted
    to meet Lord Nobunaga.
[09:09] kane
    I'd come to know Mosuke
    since that meeting,
[09:15] kane
    so I asked him to cross
    the River Styx with me.
[09:24] kane
    However...
[09:27] kane
    After I had safely gotten back
    from my meeting with Lord Nobunaga,
[09:31] kane
    and we were celebrating...
[09:49] kane
    I could tell... that he was
    willing to go to war.
[09:59] kane
    I had learned that while Mosuke was
    away from his house, his wife was killed.
[10:06] kane
    The one behind that was
    the one whose eyeball I had taken....
[10:09] kane
    the leader of the bandits...
[10:12] kane
    Gonza, the Ogre-slayer.
[10:26] mosuke
    Ofuji...
[10:30] mosuke
    I'll follow you. I'll be there soon.
[10:39] mosuke
    You and my child are over there...
[10:44] mosuke
    I have nothing left in this world.
[10:47] mosuke
    This world is just lonely.
[10:57] yoroku
    You're planning on dying by yourself?
[11:00] yoroku
    Don't be such a loner.
[11:03] mosuke
    Milord...
[11:06] yoroku
    I heard everything.
[11:08] yoroku
    I'm responsible for this, as well.
[11:11] mosuke
    But we're dealing with...
[11:13] yoroku
    I know... We'll be
    dealing with at least a hundred.
[11:18] yoroku
    If it was just you,
    it would be one versus a hundred.
[11:22] yoroku
    Therefore...
[11:24] yoroku
    This is not just revenge,
    but a proper war!
[11:29] yoroku
    I, Higuchi Yoroku,
    will have your back!
[12:00] mosuke
    There really are a hundred...
[12:03] mosuke
    And they even have guns.
[12:06] mosuke
    It doesn't matter!
[12:07] mosuke
    I don't care how many there are!
[12:08] mosuke
    I'm going to die anyway.
[12:10] yoroku
    That is a proper resolve.
[12:12] yoroku
    Then you will not lose in this war.
[12:19] mosuke
    What's that?
[12:21] yoroku
    These are bombs.
[12:23] yoroku
    They'll be useful in this war.
[12:27] mosuke
    Bombs?
[12:31] boss
    What?!
[12:33] boss
    That wandering monk who took
    my eyeball is a retainer of the Uesugi?
[12:39] guy
    He is.
[12:40] guy
    What shall we do?
[12:42] guy
    I'm already prepared
    to take him out.
[12:45] ---
    
[12:48] boss
    I don't care whose retainer he is.
[12:52] boss
    There's no way I'll let him live—
[12:54] yoroku
    You're right. There's no way I'll let you live.
[12:58] boss
    Eh?
[12:59] boss
    Huh? Chi—
[13:25] boss
    What... is...
[13:43] boss
    Y-Y-You're...
[13:47] mosuke
    This is for my wife and child!
[13:49] mosuke
    Repay them with your life!
[13:57] yoroku
    I, Higuchi Yoroku, the retainer
    of Uesugi Kenshin, shall aide you!
[14:02] boss
    Wh-What are you babbling about?!
[14:05] boss
    You little brat!
[14:24] yoroku
    Mosuke!
[14:26] yoroku
    This is for your revenge!
[14:27] yoroku
    Take Gonza's head!
[14:29] mosuke
    Right!
[14:31] mosuke
    Gonza!
[14:36] mosuke
    Huh?!
[14:38] boss
    Don't underestimate me...
[14:40] boss
    I won't let my head
    be taken by the likes of you!
[14:44] guy
    Damn it...
[14:49] yoroku
    Well, this isn't good.
[14:50] mosuke
    M-Milord!
[14:52] boss
    Bombs, eh?
[14:54] boss
    That'll definitely make
    some noise and startle people,
[14:57] boss
    but you won't be able
    to kill too many with it.
[15:01] yoroku
    Then... we're fleeing, Mosuke.
[15:05] mosuke
    Huh?!
[15:05] mosuke
    F-Fleeing?!
[15:10] yoroku
    Ha!
[15:11] yoroku
    Kiss my ass!
[15:14] yoroku
    You fool! Idiot!
[15:26] boss
    Don't you screw with me!
[15:27] boss
    You owe me for my eye!
[15:29] boss
    I won't let you leave alive!
[15:32] boss
    Catch them and kill them!
[15:56] mosuke
    M-Milord!
[15:58] mosuke
    Leave me and run!
[16:00] mosuke
    They'll catch up to us
    if I'm with you.
[16:03] yoroku
    That's exactly what I want.
[16:05] mosuke
    Huh?
[16:19] mosuke
    M-Milord... what are you doing?
[16:33] guy
    They have more bombs!
[16:38] guy
    Why are you stopping?!
[16:40] guy
    Keep moving!
[16:41] guy
    You idiot!
[16:42] guy
    Turn back!
[16:50] mosuke
    I see!
[16:51] mosuke
    The enemy's stuck on the long,
    narrow bridge and has nowhere to go.
[16:54] mosuke
    So you purposely brought them here?
[16:57] yoroku
    A war without intelligence
    cannot be won.
[17:00] yoroku
    That is from the teachings
    of Omijou-sama.
[17:06] yoroku
    Now...
[17:07] yoroku
    Let us start this war!
[17:11] yoroku
    Take this!
[17:29] mosuke
    Gonza!
[17:38] boss
    I'm right here!
[17:46] ---
    M-Milord!
[17:48] yoroku
    Were you planning to ignore my aide?
[17:50] boss
    Curse you, Higuchi Yoroku...
[17:59] yoroku
    Gonza, the Ogre-slayer,
    we shall be taking your head.
[18:03] boss
    Uh... That's really long...
[18:38] yoroku
    Those who want
    to face me, come forward!
[18:50] keiji
    To face a hundred bandits
    with just the two of you...
[18:53] keiji
    Nothing less from Kanetsugu-dono.
[18:54] kane
    That was rather reckless,
    if I do say so myself.
[18:58] kane
    I'm embarrassed now
    that I look back on it.
[19:01] keiji
    But how does that revenge and what
    the spear-bearer said connect?
[19:06] kane
    Right... That happened on the day
    I was going to leave Azuchi.
[19:18] mosuke
    Ofuji... I miss you.
SIGN    Mosuke Hana Ofuji
[19:23] mosuke
    I miss you so much...
[19:28] mosuke
    I can't live.
[19:34] yoroku
    To use your own grave
    as a stepping stone to hang yourself...
[19:37] yoroku
    what an accursed thing to do.
[19:41] mosuke
    M-Milord?!
[19:43] yoroku
    What in the world are you doing?
SIGN    Hana
[19:52] yoroku
    I see... So the child who was
    to be born was a daughter.
[19:58] nar
    Mosuke had seen his wife with
    her belly sliced open...
[20:04] nar
    That is how he possibly knew
    the baby was to be a daughter.
[20:11] mosuke
    She was supposed to be born
    right around the time
[20:15] mosuke
    the cherry blossoms start to bloom.
[20:17] mosuke
    That's why we named her Hana.
[20:29] yoroku
    How about it, Mosuke?
[20:31] yoroku
    If you're going to hang yourself
    beneath a cherry tree, do it in the spring!
[20:34] mosuke
    Huh?
[20:36] yoroku
    When a thousand,
    tens of thousands of blossoms
[20:40] yoroku
    create a storm of petals
    to accompany you...
[20:44] yoroku
    Even hanging yourself would
    look rather extravagant.
[20:52] mosuke
    Ow...
[20:54] yoroku
    Hey.
[20:55] mosuke
    M-Milord?
[20:58] yoroku
    I don't have anyone to hold this spear.
[21:01] yoroku
    To Echigo...
[21:02] yoroku
    No. Until your death...
[21:05] yoroku
    Will you bear this spear for me?
[21:11] mosuke
    M-Milord...
[21:18] mosuke
    Milord!
[21:23] keiji
    I see...
[21:25] keiji
    So that's how he became your spear-bearer.
[21:28] kane
    Yes.
[21:31] kane
    And I shall never forget...
[21:34] kane
    The gleam in his eyes...
[21:39] kane
    truly belonged to a man of war.
[21:47] kane
    You're right.
[21:48] kane
    That is, indeed, your spear.
[21:53] kane
    Then will you bear that spear...
[21:56] kane
    until your death?
[22:00] mosuke
    Yes, sir!
[22:03] kane
    Now, let us hurry...
[22:05] kane
    to the battlefield in Kyoto!
[22:07] mosuke
    Yes!
