[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. [02:17] nar     Two eccentrics enter battle. [02:23] nar     Dazzling Sengoku Period Story:     Kanetsugu and Keiji. [02:27] nar     Gifuu Doudou!! 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!
