# The Elusive Samurai
In the year 1333, the Kamakura shogunate government comes crumbling down. A trusted vassal, Ashikaga Takauji, betrays the shogunate and organizes a rebellion. Hojo Tokiyuki, the rightful heir, escapes the massacre with a Shinto priest named Suwa Yorishige to Kamakura. On the run and fighting to stay alive, Tokiyuki sets in motion his plan to reclaim his birthright.

YEAR OF 1333 - KAMAKURA
WAKAMIYAOJI SHOGUNATE SITE
**[02:11] ---**
It is time for archery practice.
**[02:13] ---**
You can't run away anymore, Lord Tokiyuki!
**[02:19] ---**
Sorry.
**[02:23] ---**
How nimble!
**[02:25] ---**
Fool! It's not the time to be impressed!
**[02:40] ---**
You'll slip and fall, Lord Tokiyuki!
**[02:42] ---**
Please come down.
**[02:44] ---**
You don't want to get hurt!
**[02:47] ---**
Someone stop him!
**[02:50] ---**
What's all this commotion?
**[02:52] ---**
We're in the middle of Takauji's send-off.
**[02:57] ---**
But Lord Tokiyuki--
**[02:59] ---**
What of the Young Lord?
**[03:03] ---**
Huh? What an escape artist.
**[03:06] ---**
That's enough. You may go.
**[03:07] ---**
But, sir…
**[03:11] ---**
Excuse me, will you let me through?
**[03:16] ---**
As always, you're a masterful player
of hide-and-seek, Young Lord.
**[03:21] ---**
Mr. Takauji.
**[03:25] ---**
Takauji Ashikaga.
**[03:27] ---**
I depart today for Kyo to quell the
former Emperor Godaigo's uprising.
**[03:33] ---**
I wish to prove my allegiance to you,
our future leader, and the Hojo clan.
**[03:38] ---**
I put my trust in you.
**[03:41] ---**
I pray the gods be with us
**[03:43] ---**
and may they bestow prosperity to
Kamakura and the warrior families.
**[03:48] ---**
Now, let's get going.
**[03:52] ---**
Yes.
**[03:56] ---**
Don't get nervous over Takauji.
**[03:58] ---**
Kiyoko.
**[03:59] ---**
You are the rightful heir of the shogunate.
**[04:02] ---**
One day, you'll be giving him orders.
**[04:06] ---**
SQUEEZE
**[04:06] ---**
And I'm going to be your betrothed,
too, so keep your head up.
**[04:10] ---**
Funny, I don't remember
making such a promise.
**[04:13] ---**
-Smooch. -Lord Tokiyuki!
**[04:15] ---**
Where did he run off to?
**[04:17] ---**
I'll bet he's hiding nearby.
**[04:18] ---**
Sorry, I gotta go, Kiyoko.
**[04:20] ---**
Catch you later!
**[04:23] ---**
There he goes.
**[04:25] ---**
Good grief.
**[04:26] ---**
All that boy is good at
is running and hiding.
**[04:30] ---**
Technically, they're both samurai, but
Lord Tokiyuki is nothing like Takauji.
**[04:34] ---**
It's true he will inherit the shogunate,
**[04:37] ---**
but he's only going to be a puppet
ruler, just like his father.
**[04:40] ---**
All right, Lord Takatoki?
**[04:42] ---**
We'll handle the rest.
**[04:46] ---**
'Kay.
**[04:48] ---**
What's wrong with being
a puppet ruler, Father?
**[04:51] ---**
They still get to lead lavish lives.
**[04:53] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki lacks talent,
and he's weak-willed,
**[04:57] ---**
but he is kind.
**[04:59] ---**
He's the perfect marriage candidate
**[05:00] ---**
for someone from such a
distinguished house as myself!
**[05:03] ---**
He's nowhere to be found.
**[05:05] ---**
We're powerless once the Young Lord
starts taking hiding seriously.
**[05:08] ---**
Remember the commotion when he hid
inside a chest of armor for two days?
**[05:13] ---**
Rather than all that trouble,
**[05:15] ---**
wouldn't it be easier
to just go to training?
**[05:25] ---**
Even if it's just in name,
**[05:26] ---**
he will be the successor
to the shogunate one day.
**[05:29] ---**
His cowardice and idleness set
a bad example for the people.
**[05:38] ---**
Tokiyuki.
**[05:41] ---**
Father is frail, and on top of that,
he lacks the conviction to rule.
**[05:44] ---**
You'll do him a favor by taking
over as soon as possible.
**[05:47] ---**
What? But you're the firstborn.
**[05:50] ---**
Not a chance.
**[05:53] ---**
If the child of a concubine were to be
appointed, it would disturb the peace.
**[05:57] ---**
It's in our bloodline to run away in
plain sight from anything we don't like.
**[06:05] ---**
That's not something to be proud of.
**[06:07] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[06:09] ---**
I finally found you.
**[06:10] ---**
Let's get to our archery practice!
**[06:13] ---**
Come along!
**[06:15] ---**
Come along!
**[06:16] ---**
Come! Come! Come!
**[06:20] ---**
Big brother, take the dog.
**[06:23] ---**
Sure.
**[06:30] ---**
-Tokiyuki! -Lord Tokiyuki!
**[06:44] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[06:49] ---**
Wait, please!
**[06:56] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[06:59] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[07:08] ---**
My lord!
**[07:10] ---**
My lord!
**[07:18] ---**
Young Lord!
**[07:44] ---**
*I like this Kamakura.*
**[07:48] ---**
*And I like to see its people
smile as they live in peace.*
**[07:52] ---**
*I don't need status or honor.*
**[07:55] ---**
*Just living in this city is enough for me.*
**[07:59] ---**
*Lazy, cowardly. Sure, that's fine.*
**[08:03] ---**
*Why would a mere puppet like me
need the power of pen and sword?*
**[08:10] ---**
You are not lazy, nor are you a coward.
**[08:15] ---**
Those are merely aspects of the
monster asleep within you.
**[08:20] ---**
That is what Father says.
**[08:23] ---**
Who are you?
**[08:24] ---**
"Father"?
**[08:25] ---**
You're quite the elusive
boy, just as I've heard.
**[08:30] ---**
What? Who's this? What's going on?
**[08:33] ---**
Honored to make your acquaintance.
**[08:35] ---**
I am a Shinto priest of Shinano Province.
**[08:38] ---**
Yorishige Suwa.
**[08:40] ---**
A Shinto priest from Shinano?
**[08:42] ---**
Wait, since when did you climb up here?
**[08:44] ---**
I've been up here all along.
**[08:46] ---**
I foresaw a future where
you'd climb this tree.
**[08:50] ---**
You've got this incredible sort
of aura around your head.
**[08:54] ---**
Excuse me if it's blinding!
**[08:55] ---**
I was born with an innate,
sacred, holy power,
**[08:57] ---**
and I just can't stop the flow sometimes!
**[09:00] ---**
I'll dim it down.
**[09:02] ---**
I came to pray for Kamakura. To pray
for protection from its enemies.
**[09:07] ---**
I have come to report to your father
that it has been completed.
**[09:11] ---**
This is Shizuku, my assistant.
**[09:13] ---**
She is good at secret arts
and general affairs,
**[09:15] ---**
and so I have her help me out.
**[09:17] ---**
*What a suspicious man.*
**[09:19] ---**
*How did he know I'd be up here?*
**[09:22] ---**
Father has the gift to see into the future.
**[09:25] ---**
His prayers, on the other hand, are a sham.
**[09:27] ---**
Shizuku, you didn't have
to say that last part.
**[09:29] ---**
Do you still doubt me? Let
me demonstrate some more.
**[09:33] ---**
Yes, I can see, Lord Tokiyuki,
**[09:36] ---**
in the future…
**[09:40] ---**
you will…
**[09:42] ---**
No, that's not right.
**[09:43] ---**
It's rather that…
**[09:45] ---**
Actually, more like…
**[09:48] ---**
I feel like… he'll live
a happy life if he…
**[09:51] ---**
Wait, happy by whose standards though?
**[09:54] ---**
That'd work, but…
**[09:55] ---**
that's more of a life lesson.
**[09:57] ---**
For that…
**[09:59] ---**
Well, it'll work out the way it's meant to?
**[10:02] ---**
Excuse me?
**[10:04] ---**
Everything you said was vague.
**[10:05] ---**
I can only see in fragments!
**[10:08] ---**
I'd spoil the fun if I saw everything!
**[10:11] ---**
But I see something clearly now.
**[10:13] ---**
If we were a comedy duo, you
would be the straight man.
**[10:16] ---**
That's because you're prattling nonsense!
**[10:19] ---**
I also saw two years into your future.
**[10:22] ---**
When you're ten years old,
**[10:24] ---**
you will become a hero, to shake
the very foundations of heaven.
**[10:28] ---**
You will be a lord of war.
**[10:30] ---**
Some will cower in fear.
Others will worship you.
**[10:32] ---**
You will even change the
fate of the country.
**[10:35] ---**
This is all I can foretell.
**[10:37] ---**
You see, this is a very powerful…
**[10:40] ---**
He's the size of a bean!
**[10:42] ---**
Father, you revealed too much at once.
**[10:46] ---**
What a finely attuned instinct
for detecting danger.
**[10:48] ---**
That was close.
**[10:50] ---**
I don't get paid enough allowance
to get involved with fake shamans.
**[10:57] ---**
*What a foolish man.*
**[10:59] ---**
*Even if he tricks someone like me, all
he'll get is surface-level glory.*
**[11:08] ---**
*And he looked so serious
when he called me a hero.*
**[11:16] ---**
I can't believe someone like
that was just walking around.
**[11:19] ---**
Seriously.
**[11:23] ---**
He was seriously shady.
**[11:27] ---**
But I think I know what
this Mr. Yorishige meant.
**[11:33] ---**
Your knack for elusiveness is
nothing like mine or Father's.
**[11:37] ---**
You'd definitely be a hero if
the right opportunity arose.
**[11:42] ---**
I have a gut feeling.
**[11:46] ---**
Huh?
**[11:48] ---**
What is it?
**[11:49] ---**
No… Where did I kick it to?
**[11:52] ---**
Maybe it's caught in a tree.
**[12:07] ---**
We will now raid Kyo and
suppress the uprising.
**[12:11] ---**
May we have the God of
War's divine protection!
**[12:15] ---**
Let's go!
**[12:31] ---**
Viceroy. Viceroy!
**[12:33] ---**
I bring news.
**[12:35] ---**
Takauji had been secretly communicating
with Emperor Godaigo.
**[12:38] ---**
Our army in Kyo has been annihilated!
**[12:41] ---**
Samurai have gathered upon
hearing of Takauji's valor.
**[12:44] ---**
*The Nitta Army has exploded
in the blink of an eye!*
**[12:48] ---**
*Even more, Takauji's eldest son, Senjuo,*
**[12:50] ---**
*was entrusted to Yoshisada
Nitta and appointed general.*
**[12:52] ---**
And they're sending the
army towards Kamakura.

Damn you. Why have you betrayed us--
**[13:29] ---**
I hear a voice.
**[13:31] ---**
Who speaks to me?
**[13:33] ---**
Who is it that guides me
to be ruler above all?
**[13:41] ---**
ABOUT 800 PEOPLE OF THE HOJO CLAN,
**[13:42] ---**
INCLUDING RETAINERS, COMMITTED SUICIDE
**[13:44] ---**
Father…
**[13:46] ---**
MAY 1333 KAMAKURA SHOGUNATE LAY IN RUINS
**[13:50] ---**
We've been waiting for you, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[13:54] ---**
In his last moments, your father
commanded me to help you escape.
**[13:59] ---**
He regrets such young life
not seeing its days.
**[14:02] ---**
I will shelter you in my
territory of Suwa in Shinano.
**[14:09] ---**
Yorishige Suwa…
**[14:12] ---**
How come you're here?
**[14:19] ---**
We're short on time.
**[14:20] ---**
Now come.
**[14:22] ---**
I foresaw this tragedy with my divine eye.
**[14:25] ---**
We have been taking defensive
measures for this event
**[14:28] ---**
in the case of its slightest chance.
**[14:30] ---**
My men and horses are hidden past this hill.
**[14:32] ---**
We must go quickly.
**[14:34] ---**
No.
**[14:35] ---**
I'll end my life like
my father and our clan.
**[14:39] ---**
I won't allow it.
**[14:41] ---**
What will happen to Japan
if you were to die here?
**[14:44] ---**
What of it?
**[14:46] ---**
You know, it'll…
**[14:51] ---**
I think…
**[14:53] ---**
But who am I to decide that?
**[14:56] ---**
I guess your death won't
bring that big of a change.
**[14:58] ---**
It may be a little… for those guys, but…
**[15:02] ---**
Not that it's a big inconvenience…
**[15:11] ---**
It's hell on earth.
**[15:14] ---**
Kamakura is being completely destroyed
by the traitorous samurai.
**[15:24] ---**
Takauji Ashikaga.
**[15:26] ---**
For him to be this thorough…
**[15:33] ---**
Takauji…
**[15:41] ---**
Who are you?
**[15:43] ---**
I'm a vassal from Shimotsuke.
**[15:45] ---**
Takauji Ashikaga.
**[15:48] ---**
Young Lord, you can't run from Takauji!
**[15:54] ---**
*That smile of his before…*
**[15:57] ---**
*Was it all a lie?*
**[16:00] ---**
Let's get revenge, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[16:03] ---**
I, Yorishige, will help you.
**[16:07] ---**
*This smile is also a lie.
It's absolutely a lie.*
**[16:10] ---**
LOOMING
**[16:11] ---**
Go away.
**[16:12] ---**
Do you really think I could
trust a fake shaman like you?
**[16:15] ---**
How rude!
**[16:16] ---**
You dare call me a fake while I am
simply overflowing with holy energy?
**[16:21] ---**
Father, a fake is a fake,
so don't make excuses.
**[16:25] ---**
My own Shizuku! Back me up!
**[16:27] ---**
We can't avenge my father.
**[16:30] ---**
It's obvious if you look.
**[16:32] ---**
Even for Yoritomo Minamoto, it took
five years to defeat the Heike clan.
**[16:38] ---**
Was there a man before Takauji who
destroyed an entire country in 24 days?
**[16:44] ---**
*The other day, you spouted nonsense
that I would become a hero,*
**[16:50] ---**
*but future generations
will only apply that word*
**[16:53] ---**
*to someone strong like Takauji Ashikaga.*
**[16:56] ---**
*Since I've been defeated, it would
be a disgrace if I didn't die.*
**[17:00] ---**
So let me die like an honorable
warrior, like my people did.
**[17:06] ---**
Very well.
**[17:07] ---**
Then die.
**[17:35] ---**
It's the Hojo child!
**[18:04] ---**
*When you're in the depths of despair
and thrown into the abyss of death…*
**[18:12] ---**
Hey.
**[18:22] ---**
*…that is where the hero within you shines!*
**[18:29] ---**
Hey. I could have died.
**[18:38] ---**
You said it would be a
disgrace if you didn't die,
**[18:41] ---**
yet you jumped out of
there to save your skin.
**[18:44] ---**
That was the hero in you.
**[18:48] ---**
Running and hiding are
good skills for a hero.
**[18:52] ---**
Above! Shoot to kill!
**[18:59] ---**
Your survival instinct is monstrous.
**[19:03] ---**
You know better than anyone how to survive.
**[19:06] ---**
You love the tingling tension
between life and death.
**[19:10] ---**
What a pain for Takauji who just killed
our lord and took a whole country.
**[19:18] ---**
Because the one he should
definitely kill next,
**[19:19] ---**
the one who will inherit
the Kamakura shogunate,
**[19:22] ---**
has more talent than anyone to escape death.
**[19:30] ---**
*Takauji becomes a hero by killing,
and you become a hero by living.*
**[19:36] ---**
*You two are heroes with opposed fates.*
**[19:41] ---**
*Of course, you can't win
if you only run and hide.*
**[19:45] ---**
*Allies, military strength, intellect…*
**[19:48] ---**
*Everything you need to
win, I will give to you.*
**[19:52] ---**
As long as you're breathing, Takauji will
eventually come to kill you himself.
**[19:59] ---**
*Till then, you'll run and
hide, become stronger,*
**[20:03] ---**
*and defeat the demons that come for you.*
**[20:05] ---**
Now, it's time to start the game
of tag to reclaim the throne!
**[20:37] ---**
Mr. Yorishige, what do you really want?
**[20:41] ---**
What do you gain by saving the
child of a ruined country?
**[20:44] ---**
It is all for my devotion to the Hojo clan!
**[20:47] ---**
If a fake shaman were to say that,
I doubt you would believe it.
**[20:52] ---**
I'll tell you everything someday.
**[20:55] ---**
When you take back Kamakura.
**[21:02] ---**
I'm a disgrace.
**[21:06] ---**
As the son of a samurai,
**[21:09] ---**
I'm supposed to be dead alongside my people.
**[21:14] ---**
Because of you, I've awakened
to the joy of living.
**[21:19] ---**
Mr. Yorishige, I'll have you
take responsibility for this.
**[21:24] ---**
Of course.
**[21:27] ---**
I will serve you unto the pits of hell.
**[21:34] ---**
*Just as Yorishige prophesied,*
**[21:36] ---**
*in two years, Tokiyuki
would shake all of Japan.*
**[21:44] ---**
*In a time when death is the honorable path,*
**[21:48] ---**
*this boy outraced all that befell him
and attempted to overthrow the shogun.*
**[21:55] ---**
*Thus began the tumultuous life
of the elusive samurai prince!*

Lord Kunitoki.
**[01:57] ---**
It's me, Muneshige.
**[01:59] ---**
TOKIYUKI AND KUNITOKI'S UNCLE
**[02:00] ---**
Uncle…
**[02:01] ---**
What's the state of Kamakura?
**[02:03] ---**
And what about Tokiyuki?
**[02:04] ---**
I hear Lord Yorishige Suwa
will help Tokiyuki escape.
**[02:08] ---**
As for us, let's hurry and leave
at the first light of day.
**[02:14] ---**
-Uncle…
-Don't worry.
**[02:16] ---**
The lower-ranked samurai
shouldn't know our faces.
**[02:20] ---**
I'll deceive them somehow.
**[02:21] ---**
You stay hidden.
**[02:22] ---**
That's too dangerous!
**[02:24] ---**
Lord Takatoki entrusted me with
you, his precious Hojo child.
**[02:29] ---**
I will protect you even if
I must lay down my life.
**[02:32] ---**
Uncle…
**[02:33] ---**
Yes, and above all,
**[02:36] ---**
you are my precious little sister's child.
**[02:40] ---**
If I fail, please run.
**[02:43] ---**
Uncle!
**[02:51] ---**
What?
**[02:58] ---**
Uncle.
**[03:01] ---**
Uncle!
**[03:02] ---**
Uncle!
**[03:13] ---**
Father!
**[03:14] ---**
Everyone!
**[03:19] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki. Lord Tokiyuki.
**[03:21] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[03:24] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[03:31] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki.
**[03:33] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki.
**[03:36] ---**
Your face when you're asleep is so sweet.
**[03:39] ---**
I could just eat you up.
**[03:41] ---**
I know how much you like to
watch children sleep, Father,
**[03:46] ---**
-but Lord Tokiyuki is having a nightmare.
-There we go.
**[03:48] ---**
Let's see!
**[03:50] ---**
I think a peck on the cheek wouldn't hurt.
**[03:51] ---**
GLARE
**[03:57] ---**
What are you doing? What is wrong with you?
**[04:00] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki, I expected as
much from your escaping prowess.
**[04:03] ---**
In the future, we call
that a "Wake-up Prank."
**[04:08] ---**
PRANK A SUCCESS!!!
**[04:09] ---**
I don't care!
**[04:10] ---**
This isn't the time to be
playing around, Mr. Yorishige!
**[04:12] ---**
You said we could hide in your territory,
**[04:15] ---**
but we've just been taking cover
in Kamakura for several days!
**[04:19] ---**
That's because the exit of Kamakura
is more tightly guarded than I thought.
**[04:26] ---**
We have to be patient until
their watch eases up.
**[04:32] ---**
The watch, huh?
**[04:36] ---**
*I recognize those standards…*
**[04:40] ---**
*But the samurai under those banners, who
had sworn allegiance to the Shogunate,*
**[04:44] ---**
*betrayed us, just like that,
and destroyed Kamakura.*
**[04:47] ---**
*All under Lord Takauji's orders…*
**[04:50] ---**
*To think beneath that kind smile of his,
he was plotting such traitorous plans*
**[04:55] ---**
*to destroy the Shogunate.*
**[04:59] ---**
Don't worry, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[05:01] ---**
In these clothes, we can trick them.
**[05:03] ---**
We look like Shinto priests
whose shrine was burned.
**[05:14] ---**
Mr. Yorishige.
**[05:15] ---**
You told me, "Take back your country
by winning this game of tag
**[05:20] ---**
with your excellent ability to run away."
**[05:23] ---**
But samurai fight looking straight on.
**[05:26] ---**
I've never heard of a samurai taking
a country through a game of tag.
**[05:30] ---**
You really think I can
take back this country?
**[05:33] ---**
That I can avenge everyone I loved?
**[05:35] ---**
-Of course!
-You scared me!
**[05:37] ---**
Through my divine eye, I see
a future where you are a hero.
**[05:45] ---**
So, Lord Tokiyuki, bear this
burden for a little while longer.
**[05:51] ---**
For now…
**[05:53] ---**
FUTURISTIC GAME OF DICE
**[05:54] ---**
let's play a game of dice while we wait!
**[05:57] ---**
Shizuku, prepare the dice and game pieces!
**[06:00] ---**
Yes, Father.
**[06:01] ---**
I've never seen this game of dice.
**[06:03] ---**
What's a God of Poverty?
**[06:05] ---**
You'll get to learn when you play.
**[06:08] ---**
Come on, Lord Tokiyuki. Join us.
**[06:15] ---**
Huh?
**[06:18] ---**
*I knew I couldn't trust those two.*
**[06:21] ---**
*I have to find who remains
of the Shogunate myself.*
**[06:38] ---**
Man, there's nothing good here.
**[06:42] ---**
One man's trash is another man's trash.
**[06:45] ---**
You know, I saw that execution.
**[06:48] ---**
Oh, yeah, was it Lord Kunitoki Hojo?
**[06:56] ---**
Oh, yeah. The head came clean off.
**[06:59] ---**
You have strange taste.
**[07:02] ---**
You're lying!
**[07:04] ---**
Huh?
**[07:06] ---**
Who are you?
**[07:09] ---**
There's no way!
**[07:10] ---**
My brother… He can't be!
**[07:12] ---**
Your brother?
**[07:14] ---**
What do you mean your brother?
**[07:15] ---**
You're talking about Lord Kunitoki?
**[07:18] ---**
Whose kid are you?
**[07:20] ---**
I-
**[07:24] ---**
This boy is an apprentice at my shrine.
**[07:27] ---**
The Hojo family had favored us,
**[07:30] ---**
so he can get worked up
hearing Lord Kunitoki's name.
**[07:34] ---**
Right?
**[07:36] ---**
Yes.
**[07:40] ---**
What exactly happened to Lord Kunitoki?
**[07:45] ---**
You know, he was entrusted to
his uncle, Muneshige Godaiin.
**[07:51] ---**
He was hiding him, but then, he ratted
Kunitoki's hiding spot out to Nitta's men.
**[07:57] ---**
AWARD FOR BIGGEST TYRANT 1333
GODAIIN
**[07:58] ---**
*Having risen to power through his nephew,*
**[08:01] ---**
*Muneshige Godaiin sold
his own flesh and blood,*
**[08:03] ---**
*the regent's nine-year-old son, to
the enemy in the blink of an eye.*
**[08:07] ---**
*The man went on to become one of the most
brutal warlords in Japanese history.*
**[08:14] ---**
Lord Kunitoki was a Hojo child.
**[08:17] ---**
Beheading was his sentence.
**[08:20] ---**
I saw it happen earlier.
**[08:22] ---**
It was a pitiful death.
**[08:28] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki?
**[08:35] ---**
*Betrayal. Betrayal. Betrayal.*
**[08:41] ---**
*I can't make sense of it.*
**[08:46] ---**
*The Ashikaga family who served
us for generations betrayed us.*
**[08:49] ---**
*Our samurai retainers betrayed us.*
**[08:53] ---**
*And now my own uncle betrayed us.*
**[08:55] ---**
*There's not one person I can trust.*
**[09:02] ---**
*Lord Tokiyuki.*
**[09:03] ---**
-Lord Tokiyuki.
-Lord Tokiyuki.
**[09:05] ---**
-*Lord Tokiyuki.
* -Lord Tokiyuki.
**[09:06] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[09:09] ---**
Did my holy light bring you to your senses?
**[09:12] ---**
Why do you keep shining at random times?
**[09:16] ---**
I can see it.
**[09:18] ---**
I can see a future where Muneshige
Godaiin is sitting down.
**[09:22] ---**
You know how I told you I can see
the future with my holy power?
**[09:26] ---**
Yeah, a rough vision on rare occasions.
**[09:28] ---**
HERE WE GO
GODAIIN - DUMB - ENEMIES
**[09:29] ---**
*There's a lot of enemy soldiers
around him, and he's well protected.*
**[09:33] ---**
Where is Uncle now?
**[09:38] ---**
Are you curious?
**[09:44] ---**
Yes.
**[09:52] ---**
In that case…
**[09:58] ---**
let's go see.
**[10:05] ---**
I'll show you what it means
to win at a game of tag!
**[10:10] ---**
Consider avenging your brother…
**[10:13] ---**
your first step to reclaiming your country!
**[10:20] ---**
Damn it!
**[10:21] ---**
Why do you cast me aside?
**[10:24] ---**
Don't you know I'm a man
of great military success?
**[10:27] ---**
He was a Hojo child!
**[10:29] ---**
*Is it because he was the
child of a concubine?*
**[10:34] ---**
*The head of a concubine's
child is of no worth to you?*
**[10:39] ---**
*If killing Kunitoki isn't enough
in my life's game of dice,*
**[10:43] ---**
*I need to roll higher numbers.*
**[10:46] ---**
*In that case, maybe I should
aim for the rightful heir!*
**[10:51] ---**
*I can do it.*
**[10:54] ---**
*If I capture Tokiyuki, the true
heir, and present him to them,*
**[10:59] ---**
*everyone will have no choice
but to recognize me!*
**[11:05] ---**
His demonic behavior drove his friends away.
**[11:08] ---**
Seems like he's lost everything.
**[11:11] ---**
This greedy brute has turned into a demon
**[11:13] ---**
who will chase you to the ends of the earth.
**[11:15] ---**
Tokiyuki.
**[11:17] ---**
Don't think you can outrun me.
**[11:21] ---**
The first sure way to win at the
game of tag is to know your enemy.
**[11:26] ---**
Let's go back to the hideout, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[11:28] ---**
Huh?
**[11:29] ---**
I will bestow upon you the
second sure way to win.
**[11:33] ---**
They should be arriving soon.
**[11:35] ---**
Right, Father.
**[11:38] ---**
It's become easier to win now that we
know what our enemy looks like, right?
**[11:44] ---**
Do you not have confidence?
**[11:48] ---**
I never took my martial
arts training seriously.
**[11:53] ---**
No worries. I have some friends
I want to introduce to you.
**[12:00] ---**
They will become your arms and legs.
**[12:02] ---**
They will help you greatly
on the battlefield.
**[12:09] ---**
KAZUSA PROVINCE - SHIMOSA
PROVINCE - MUSASHI PROVINCE
**[12:09] ---**
All right, I'm gonna buy all of Shimosa's
bean fields, getting double the revenue!
**[12:14] ---**
Hey, don't pass the God of Poverty to me!
**[12:17] ---**
He's about to become the
Emperor God of Poverty too.
**[12:19] ---**
I don't think they're
going to be very helpful.
**[12:22] ---**
And isn't that a game of
dice from a distant future?
**[12:25] ---**
PRODUCER
**[12:27] ---**
Hi. It's nice to meet ya, young lord!
**[12:29] ---**
My name is Kojiro Nezu. It's a pleasure!
**[12:32] ---**
I'm Ayako Mochizuki. Nice
to meet you, my lord.
**[12:35] ---**
They are the children of the
Nezu and Mochizuki families,
**[12:38] ---**
two families who serve the Suwa family.
**[12:40] ---**
And because they serve the Suwa family,
**[12:42] ---**
they ultimately serve the
Hojo family above them.
**[12:46] ---**
And though both of them are your age, Lord
Tokiyuki, they excel in martial arts.
**[12:50] ---**
So please rely on them to avenge our enemy.
**[12:55] ---**
I'm Tokiyuki Hojo. Nice to meet you.
**[12:59] ---**
-Sir!
-Sir!
**[13:01] ---**
*What did you think of Lord Tokiyuki?*
**[13:04] ---**
He's so cute!
**[13:05] ---**
I just wanna carry him around.
**[13:08] ---**
He's definitely not strong.
**[13:10] ---**
And it's a strange proposition
coming from Lord Yorishige
**[13:13] ---**
to serve someone whose family
has just been annihilated.
**[13:15] ---**
If he's not strong, we have to protect him.
**[13:23] ---**
Right.
**[13:38] ---**
Now, Lord Tokiyuki, shall we take
on the demon that's after us?
**[14:05] ---**
He's coming.
**[14:26] ---**
*Oh, you look delectable.*
**[14:30] ---**
Uncle Godaiin?
**[14:34] ---**
Oh, Lord Tokiyuki!
**[14:37] ---**
If it isn't my lord!
**[14:40] ---**
Oh, I'm so glad you're safe.
**[14:43] ---**
Lord Yorishige said he would
bring you to safety around Suwa,
**[14:46] ---**
so I thought you'd be here.
**[14:48] ---**
Are you alone?
**[14:49] ---**
Don't worry, your old Uncle
Muneshige's here for you.
**[14:54] ---**
Let's run away together.
**[14:56] ---**
Uncle.
**[14:58] ---**
Yes?
**[14:59] ---**
Why did you betray my brother?
**[15:02] ---**
Huh?
**[15:07] ---**
I see, I see.
**[15:11] ---**
-We almost had him!
-My lord!
**[15:14] ---**
So you anticipated I would
come looking for you,
**[15:17] ---**
and hid some friends to ambush
me to avenge your brother.
**[15:21] ---**
You poised yourself as if you trusted
me. It was quite impressive.
**[15:25] ---**
To think a child could be so conniving!
**[15:28] ---**
But you see, Lord Tokiyuki, the reason
I was entrusted to guard Kunitoki
**[15:34] ---**
was not only because I am his
uncle and an important retainer!
**[15:38] ---**
I was appointed his guard because I'm strong.
**[15:45] ---**
Kill two brats, chop off
your legs, and sell you out.
**[15:50] ---**
That's how I'll win my game of dice!
**[15:53] ---**
*The dice are cast.*
**[15:55] ---**
*Is it a battle or just a game?*
**[15:57] ---**
*It's a turbulent world of
tag with our lives at stake.*
**[16:02] ---**
*This is the first roll!*
**[16:05] ---**
DEMON OF DICE MUNESHIGE GODAIIN
**[16:08] ---**
What happened, Lord Tokiyuki?
**[16:11] ---**
This is your chance to avenge your brother!
**[16:14] ---**
Get off my lord, scumbag!
**[16:19] ---**
You're in my way!
**[16:26] ---**
-Hey!
-Damn it.
**[16:27] ---**
Take this! Take that!
**[16:29] ---**
My lord, get behind me!
**[16:31] ---**
*I have no openings. And what mighty strength!*
**[16:34] ---**
*I can't do anything while I protect
myself and the Young Lord.*
**[16:37] ---**
*What am I supposed to do
after this, Mr. Yorishige?*
**[16:40] ---**
*After all, we're just kids
going up against a grown man.*
**[16:42] ---**
*If our surprise attack
fails, we stand no chance.*
**[16:48] ---**
*It's just some kiddy sneak attack
with just the three of them.*
**[16:51] ---**
This is nothing!
**[16:53] ---**
I'm quick to adapt to situations.
That's one of my strengths.
**[16:57] ---**
I'd betray even my lord's child
if it meant saving my own life!
**[17:00] ---**
Don't make it hard for me, Tokiyuki.
**[17:03] ---**
Your brother didn't even put up a fight!
**[17:08] ---**
*Ashikaga overthrew the Shogunate,
and then came tumultuous times.*
**[17:18] ---**
*When the board to the game
of dice has been flipped,*
**[17:22] ---**
*only those who can instantly
adapt can survive!*
**[17:26] ---**
Hmm?
**[17:34] ---**
Tokiyuki!
**[17:37] ---**
Tokiyuki, Tokiyuki, Tokiyuki, Tokiyuki!
**[17:41] ---**
You're a relic of a bygone era.
**[17:45] ---**
Accept your fate, and
fuel my rise to the top!
**[17:54] ---**
My lord!
**[17:55] ---**
Kojiro, Ayako, retreat!
**[17:58] ---**
-Huh?
-Why?
**[17:59] ---**
Just listen to me and get back.
**[18:02] ---**
You two should take a good
look at this Young Lord.
**[18:05] ---**
See who is more adaptable
to tumultuous times.
**[18:17] ---**
That's impressive, my lord.
**[18:19] ---**
He's seeing through all those swift swings.
**[18:25] ---**
And it looks like he's enjoying it.
**[18:34] ---**
Those aren't moves you learn by training.
**[18:37] ---**
His elusiveness…
**[18:41] ---**
It's heaven-sent!
**[18:45] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki isn't a coward.
**[18:48] ---**
He genuinely enjoys the chase.
**[18:52] ---**
*One misstep would be fatal.*
**[18:54] ---**
*Capture would be instant death.*
**[18:56] ---**
*His survival instinct is monstrous,*
**[18:58] ---**
*which means his very soul
can find joy in such crisis.*
**[19:01] ---**
*Before the war, back when
Kamakura was peaceful,*
**[19:05] ---**
*the boy was amiable, modest,
kind-hearted, and considerate.*
**[19:08] ---**
*He hated conflict,*
**[19:10] ---**
*and his habit of running away from his
much-despised training was a shortcoming.*
**[19:13] ---**
*He was an ordinary kid like any other.*
**[19:16] ---**
*But on the battlefield, he
becomes a gleeful monster,*
**[19:21] ---**
*happily playing tag against
the fiercest of the fierce.*
**[19:25] ---**
Shizuku, Kojiro, Ayako, don't you think
it'll be fun to serve a master like that?
**[19:31] ---**
A general who's known for running
away? I've never heard of that.
**[19:35] ---**
But when you say it like that, Lord
Yorishige, I guess it does sound fun.
**[19:39] ---**
I just want to be his friend!
**[19:41] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[19:44] ---**
All right, now.
**[19:45] ---**
-Go give this another chance!
-Yes, sir!
**[19:48] ---**
*You mustn't try to protect him.*
**[19:50] ---**
*You have to trust his elusiveness.*
**[19:52] ---**
*The trade-off…*
**[19:54] ---**
SLUGGISH
**[19:55] ---**
-*…is his attacks are very
weak.* -You little brat!
**[20:00] ---**
*Go create an opening for him to attack.*
**[20:07] ---**
*If he's set on killing me by evading forever,*
**[20:13] ---**
*then sooner or later…*
**[20:19] ---**
-You guys!
-Time for offense!
**[20:25] ---**
*My job isn't to protect the
Young Lord from the enemy.*
**[20:28] ---**
Tokiyuki!
**[20:32] ---**
Whoa.
**[20:35] ---**
You bastards!
**[20:40] ---**
*Try to offer up the enemy
while the Young Lord evades.*
**[20:44] ---**
Now, my lord!
**[20:50] ---**
*Brother, Father, citizens of Kamakura,*
**[20:55] ---**
*this head isn't enough to avenge you.*
**[20:57] ---**
*But at least…*
**[21:05] ---**
*it'll make for a souvenir*
**[21:08] ---**
*as you walk your path to the other side!*
**[21:19] ---**
Huh?
**[21:21] ---**
Where did it come from?
**[21:23] ---**
I'm not going to be a hero.
**[21:26] ---**
Even you're laughing at me.
**[21:28] ---**
It's not that I'm making fun of you.
**[21:31] ---**
Let's get inside already.
I wonder what's for dinner.
**[21:37] ---**
Oh, Tokiyuki!
**[21:41] ---**
You can do it!
**[21:44] ---**
If you try.
**[21:48] ---**
What was that?
**[21:50] ---**
You kinda sound like a fraud shaman.
**[21:52] ---**
Huh? Really?
**[21:54] ---**
It's not a compliment.
**[21:57] ---**
I wonder what's for dinner.
**[21:59] ---**
I'm hungry for sea bream.
**[22:01] ---**
Oh, that sounds good!
**[23:39] ---**

THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[01:25] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[01:36] ---**
-Is this the way?
-Yes.
**[01:38] ---**
If we cross the ridge, we'll come across
the road the enemies withdrew from.
**[01:41] ---**
Oh, my gosh! I just ate a spider's web.
**[01:44] ---**
-Don't be so loud.
-Lord Tokiyuki.
**[01:46] ---**
Gross.
**[01:48] ---**
How do you feel now that you've had
your first victorious battle?
**[01:51] ---**
I guess it was my first battle.
**[01:53] ---**
I was just focused on running,
**[01:56] ---**
and before I knew it,
the enemy's head was right in front of me.
**[02:03] ---**
I…
**[02:07] ---**
I want to say thank you.
**[02:10] ---**
Don't mention it!
**[02:13] ---**
There are conditions to winning a war
by way of the game of tag.
**[02:18] ---**
*First, you must be*
*a valuable leader in battle,*
**[02:22] ---**
*which means you will become*
*the top target.*
**[02:24] ---**
*Second, you must have trustworthy*
*retainers who'll act as your weapons.*
**[02:28] ---**
*In order to fulfill these two conditions,*
**[02:31] ---**
you must not forget your pride
as a Hojo orphan.
**[02:35] ---**
And you must be a boy of character
who people will be drawn to.
**[02:40] ---**
*If you do those two things,*
**[02:43] ---**
one day, you can defeat any demon
in the game of tag.
**[02:52] ---**
I understand.
**[02:59] ---**
I swear to return here.
**[03:04] ---**
And defeat Ashikaga,
who caused all the turmoil!
**[03:12] ---**
You are heroic.
**[03:14] ---**
And also, I saw another vision
a moment ago.
**[03:19] ---**
I saw that something terrible would happen
if you throw that sword from there.
**[03:24] ---**
-Uh-oh.
-My lord!
**[03:25] ---**
Be careful! Get back!
**[03:32] ---**
*Tokiyuki narrowly escaped*
*a ruined Kamakura.*
**[03:37] ---**
*For someone of such small stature,*
*he has such a grand fate awaiting him.*
**[03:41] ---**
*The boy who will later shake the country*
**[03:45] ---**
*begins his growth in his new world.*
**[03:50] ---**
*However…*
**[03:53] ---**
Good morning, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[03:56] ---**
You're looking quite good for someone
who was running around all day yesterday.
**[04:00] ---**
Mr. Yorishige! What is this inappropriate
atmosphere with the shrine maidens?
**[04:03] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki, try a locust!
**[04:05] ---**
I appointed them to bring you breakfast
and physical contact
**[04:08] ---**
to warm your grieving heart!
**[04:12] ---**
And what do you make of this?
**[04:14] ---**
As you can see,
I've dug a hole to trap you.
**[04:16] ---**
I saw a future where you were
running down this road to get away!
**[04:21] ---**
Since this place is filled
with divine energy,
**[04:22] ---**
-it gives me a boost of holy power…
-*He said he saw a vision.*
**[04:25] ---**
*He's still speaking like a sham.*
**[04:27] ---**
Which means--
**[04:28] ---**
No matter where you run off to,
I'll know right away.
**[04:33] ---**
You see, this is my backyard. My domain!
**[04:40] ---**
Behold, this is the Suwa Grand Shrine!
**[04:54] ---**
Now.
**[04:55] ---**
Come now, let's start your martial
and academic arts training.
**[04:59] ---**
ANCIENT COURT
AND MILITARY PRACTICES
**[05:00] ---**
But I'm still acclimating.
**[05:02] ---**
The boy who symbolizes
Kamakura shogunate's restoration
**[05:05] ---**
has no time to waste!
**[05:16] ---**
All right, take two! A "running gag" is
a word I learned from the future.
**[05:19] ---**
But repeating the same joke
a third time won't work.
**[05:23] ---**
I don't care. Let me out!
**[05:24] ---**
I'm sorry, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[05:27] ---**
Father is always like this,
**[05:29] ---**
-forcing things along on his own terms.
-What's this?
**[05:33] ---**
He often behaves in eccentric ways,
**[05:35] ---**
-and he goes on about nonsense.
-Roast deer over rice?
**[05:38] ---**
Shizuku, I think I found something tasty.
**[05:40] ---**
But he means well, so don't worry.
**[05:43] ---**
How can I not worry hearing that?
**[05:46] ---**
Father, why would you dig a hole
in the road leading to the shrine?
**[05:51] ---**
-I'm sorry.
-*I'm grateful to this man*
**[05:53] ---**
*for saving my life,*
**[05:55] ---**
*but does he have*
*any realistic plans for what's to come?*
**[06:00] ---**
*Suwa Shrine is so much smaller*
*than Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine,*
**[06:05] ---**
*so it's hard to believe*
*that the priest of this shrine*
**[06:08] ---**
*can help me take back Kamakura*
*and defeat Takauji Ashikaga.*
**[06:15] ---**
SEVERAL DAYS LATER
**[06:18] ---**
I can't believe he doesn't get tired
of running away so much day after day.
**[06:21] ---**
Ugh, I'm tired of digging holes.
**[06:24] ---**
That Young Lord… Isn't he spoiled,
being the heir to the shogunate?
**[06:28] ---**
Maybe he learned to run away
from everything.
**[06:32] ---**
You're wrong.
**[06:34] ---**
At his core, he's honest and earnest.
**[06:37] ---**
*But he has never understood*
*the reason to study diligently*
**[06:40] ---**
*because he was raised*
*to be a puppet ruler.*
**[06:45] ---**
*He's never had any*
*meaningful goals in his life.*
**[06:53] ---**
If anything, I'm the one who's lacking.
**[06:56] ---**
I haven't proven to him yet
**[07:01] ---**
whether I have the power
to help him reach his goals!
**[07:12] ---**
No one will think I'll run away
on a day like this.
**[07:16] ---**
Learning the art of war today? It seems
most useless for someone like me.
**[07:29] ---**
Oh, come on.
**[07:31] ---**
I don't need to study.
**[07:32] ---**
I'll do what you want.
**[07:37] ---**
All I need to do is run around
the battlefield, right?
**[07:42] ---**
Even while your army is losing!
**[07:51] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki,
I promise to God, I cannot lose.
**[07:57] ---**
You know why?
**[07:58] ---**
Because I am a true god.
**[08:02] ---**
This rain is in the way.
I need to show you something.
**[08:09] ---**
Now…
**[08:12] ---**
I'll clear the clouds.
**[09:01] ---**
Hip, hip…
**[09:04] ---**
Hooray!
**[09:07] ---**
Hip, hip…
**[09:10] ---**
Hooray!
**[09:13] ---**
Hip, hip…
**[09:15] ---**
Hooray!
**[09:19] ---**
Amazing!
**[09:21] ---**
The Suwa Sect is composed of warriors
who believe in Suwa Myojin,
**[09:25] ---**
and they are proud of their strength
and iron unity under their faith in me.
**[09:33] ---**
Was I able to convince you?
**[09:36] ---**
There is a god looking after you.
**[09:41] ---**
10,000 men on horseback
at one call from god.
**[09:44] ---**
*If you acquire the qualities of a hero,*
**[09:47] ---**
*it would mean an alliance*
*between a hero and a god.*
**[09:50] ---**
*And even more soldiers will*
*join us tenfold!*
**[09:54] ---**
So what shall we do today?
**[10:00] ---**
I'll go to my desk and study.
**[10:08] ---**
That's what I wanted to hear!
**[10:10] ---**
-Your aged cheek is surprisingly…
-You adorable thing.
**[10:13] ---**
-…like a nail file!
-Rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, rub!
**[10:18] ---**
*I think I'll trust him.*
**[10:20] ---**
*I think he'll make me a hero*
*like he predicted.*
**[10:30] ---**
I've got those words out of him.
**[10:33] ---**
Everyone, you're welcome to go home!
**[10:39] ---**
* TOKIYUKI
**[10:39] ---**
That was rough in the rain.
**[10:45] ---**
Hey, where'd the enthusiasm go? Come on!
**[10:49] ---**
Well, they're not
always that energetic, you see.
**[10:53] ---**
Come on, let's knock out the studying.
**[10:57] ---**
-You know a warrior can't lie! Come on.
-You tricked me!
**[11:01] ---**
-*Yorishige Suwa understood Tokiyuki best…*
-Let's get started.
**[11:05] ---**
*…and managed to enlighten him*
*on his future.*
**[11:08] ---**
*In just a short while,*
*he had an immeasurable impact.*
**[11:15] ---**
*And now,*
**[11:17] ---**
*the hero hatchling begins to quietly*
*sharpen his fang in the arms of a god.*
**[11:22] ---**
What a clean fall!
**[11:24] ---**
Shut up!
**[11:32] ---**
It looks like you're getting used to
life in Suwa.
**[11:35] ---**
Now, it's time to gain some allies.
**[11:39] ---**
Let's gather retainers just for you.
**[11:42] ---**
-Yes.
-Yes.
**[11:44] ---**
Retainers.
**[11:45] ---**
WHAT ARE "RETAINERS"?
**[11:47] ---**
*Yes. Retainers are vassals that form*
*a master-and-servant relationship*
**[11:50] ---**
*with their potent military commander.*
**[11:52] ---**
*And they risk their lives*
*fighting for him.*
**[11:54] ---**
*It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that*
**[11:57] ---**
*the strength of the retainers*
*is the strength of the lord.*
**[12:00] ---**
*Because you've tragically lost*
*your close family and retainers,*
**[12:05] ---**
*you must rebuild from nothing.*
**[12:10] ---**
Allow me to introduce them again!
**[12:15] ---**
*Kojiro is the greatest swordsman*
*of your generation.*
**[12:19] ---**
*And one day he will lead*
*as your military commander.*
**[12:22] ---**
Sup, Young Lord.
**[12:24] ---**
*Ayako has unrivaled physical strength*
*and is brimming with artistic talent.*
**[12:28] ---**
*She remains a lady even in battle.*
**[12:30] ---**
Young Lord!
**[12:34] ---**
*Shizuku is attentive*
*and versed in several secret arts.*
**[12:38] ---**
*As a servant, she takes care of*
*the general affairs at home.*
**[12:43] ---**
These three are your age,
but I know you can count on them.
**[12:49] ---**
First, get to know them well,
**[12:51] ---**
and show that you know
how to utilize their skills.
**[12:56] ---**
If you all grow up together, like family,
**[13:00] ---**
*then eventually you will have*
*tight-knit, reliable retainers.*
**[13:05] ---**
*And in the future, we'll recruit*
*more talent as we come across them.*
**[13:09] ---**
The number of your retainers
is sure to grow!
**[13:13] ---**
In the future, this is what they call
**[13:15] ---**
a hero's journey.
**[13:20] ---**
Who cares?
**[13:22] ---**
Right, then, what shall I do, my lord?
**[13:26] ---**
I'll do anything you ask.
**[13:29] ---**
Anything?
**[13:30] ---**
Of course. We're retainers!
**[13:40] ---**
Then let's play tag!
**[13:43] ---**
Oh, not that.
**[13:44] ---**
Instant rejection!
**[13:46] ---**
My lord, once you start running,
you go far into the horizon.
**[13:48] ---**
YAY
**[13:49] ---**
Right? In a way, it's amazing
how much energy you have to run.
**[13:54] ---**
If we're gonna do something fun,
let's sneak into the samurai's houses,
**[13:56] ---**
the ones that betrayed you for Ashikaga.
**[13:58] ---**
Then we'll all take a dump
and rub it in everywhere.
**[14:01] ---**
How crass!
**[14:02] ---**
-Let's do push-ups till someone gives up!
-That sounds like hell!
**[14:05] ---**
I want to see how many marbles will fit
in an ants' nest.
**[14:09] ---**
What's wrong with you?
**[14:10] ---**
-*What is wrong with…*
-One, two…
**[14:14] ---**
…my retainers?
**[14:17] ---**
Young Lord, how about we go hunting?
**[14:20] ---**
It's fun and it'll be good training.
**[14:24] ---**
Are those of the shrine allowed
to kill animals?
**[14:27] ---**
It's okay.
**[14:29] ---**
Suwa Myojin is also a God of Hunting.
**[14:32] ---**
Unlike other Shinto sects,
we hunt and eat like crazy.
**[14:40] ---**
*What a strange god.*
**[14:44] ---**
Lord Yorishige.
**[14:46] ---**
It seems Lord Tokiyuki's group
has gone hunting.
**[14:51] ---**
I saw that.
**[14:53] ---**
I saw the tribulations they'll face too.
**[15:02] ---**
Surprise!
**[15:10] ---**
-Wow. Close one. By your standards.
-What do you mean "by your standards"?
**[15:13] ---**
It's hard to see through the foliage here.
**[15:22] ---**
Wow!
**[15:23] ---**
Here, my lord! One more time.
**[15:25] ---**
Found you!
**[15:32] ---**
Dang, Mr. Rabbit is fast.
**[15:36] ---**
She's a monster.
**[15:37] ---**
Right? I've seen her turn rabbits
into red mist plenty of times.
**[15:42] ---**
Wait!
**[15:50] ---**
What is that beast?
**[15:54] ---**
It was rumored in the neighboring province
**[15:58] ---**
that there's a huge
flesh-eating Ox Demon in these hills.
**[16:04] ---**
*Lord Tokiyuki,*
**[16:06] ---**
*your adversary is a man*
*who subjugates far more ferocious beasts.*
**[16:13] ---**
*Show me how you can combine*
*strength with your allies*
**[16:18] ---**
*to splendidly take down this beast.*
**[16:19] ---**
NANBOKUCHO GAME OF TAG
OX DEMON BOTAN
**[16:31] ---**
It won't even pierce its skin.
**[16:35] ---**
Retreat! Retreat to higher ground!
**[16:44] ---**
We can't defeat it
with just the two of us.
**[16:47] ---**
We will guide the Young Lord while we run.
**[16:49] ---**
Okay!
**[16:51] ---**
No, we can defeat it.
**[16:54] ---**
-Shizuku!
-Since when did you get to safety?
**[16:57] ---**
Kojiro, Aya,
it's not just you two anymore.
**[16:59] ---**
We have Lord Tokiyuki.
**[17:02] ---**
Me?
**[17:03] ---**
CURRENT LOCATION
**[17:05] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki, you evade the beast
while leading it to the larch.
**[17:10] ---**
DESTINATION
**[17:11] ---**
While you do that,
Kojiro and Aya will wait for it there.
**[17:15] ---**
You two already know, right?
**[17:17] ---**
What's under the tree.
**[17:20] ---**
-Yes.
-Yes.
**[17:22] ---**
All right, my lord.
Till then, it's all yours!
**[17:25] ---**
Hey, wait! What do you mean it's all mine?
**[17:33] ---**
*And you want me to lead it*
*while dodging it?*
**[17:36] ---**
*That's insane!*
**[17:40] ---**
What kind of retainer makes their lord be
**[17:43] ---**
a part of this sort of plan!
**[17:49] ---**
He says that, but he's evading
in ungodly rapid succession!
**[17:51] ---**
Looking good!
**[17:52] ---**
Our lord has an astounding talent
in dodging.
**[17:58] ---**
Let's fine-tune it!
**[18:04] ---**
It's ready!
**[18:05] ---**
-Straight under the tree!
-All right!
**[18:13] ---**
Hey! What am I supposed to do with it now?
**[18:22] ---**
Come on, you swine,
**[18:24] ---**
for baring your fangs
at Tokiyuki Hojo's party,
**[18:29] ---**
I'll make sure you regret it.
**[18:33] ---**
Neither arrow nor sword could hurt you.
**[18:37] ---**
You wouldn't die
even if you fell off a cliff.
**[18:40] ---**
I'm sorry,
**[18:42] ---**
but what awaits you there
is the blade of god.
**[18:53] ---**
The water feels just right.
**[18:55] ---**
Hot springs are a Suwa specialty!
**[19:01] ---**
*Good heavens.*
**[19:02] ---**
-Yay!
-Yay!
**[19:04] ---**
-*We killed the beast in no time.*
-That was hard.
**[19:06] ---**
I want to butcher and eat it…
**[19:08] ---**
*Once we saw the bow wasn't effective,*
*we figured out how*
**[19:10] ---**
*to work with each other's*
*individual strengths.*
**[19:12] ---**
*We used our resourcefulness*
*to our advantage,*
**[19:14] ---**
*and didn't hesitate*
*to deal with this unknown monster.*
**[19:17] ---**
Young Lord! Let's go to the spring!
**[19:20] ---**
But what was this beast?
**[19:23] ---**
It was probably a beast
remaining from ancient times.
**[19:29] ---**
It didn't even have family
to bear offspring.
**[19:34] ---**
If there were others of its kind,
**[19:37] ---**
it probably wouldn't have fallen
under the influence of evil.
**[19:43] ---**
From now on,
**[19:45] ---**
let's conduct Tokiyuki party's
strategic meetings in the hot springs!
**[19:48] ---**
I like that!
**[19:50] ---**
I'm going to bring ice
from the ice chamber
**[19:52] ---**
and some mandarin juice.
**[19:57] ---**
You know, "Tokiyuki Party"
is too obvious to enemies.
**[20:02] ---**
Let's think of something more vague!
**[20:05] ---**
Let's see…
**[20:07] ---**
Since we're a party that uses
our lord's "running" as its main tactic,
**[20:11] ---**
"Wrap Up Your Tail and Flee Party"!
**[20:12] ---**
Lame!
**[20:14] ---**
-Sweet-tooth Party!
-Definitely not!
**[20:15] ---**
Born to Runner Up Party.
**[20:17] ---**
I don't think that's good?
**[20:19] ---**
-Loser's Pick Party!
-That hurts!
**[20:21] ---**
Flighting Escaping Just Run Party!
**[20:23] ---**
That's so long!
**[20:24] ---**
-*Although I've lost everything…*
-Hi-yah!
**[20:27] ---**
*…they cheer me up*
*by treating me like a friend.*
**[20:31] ---**
*And still, they don't forget*
*that I'm their lord.*
**[20:40] ---**
I know!
**[20:41] ---**
What about "the Elusive Warriors"?
**[20:44] ---**
How'd you come up with that?
**[20:46] ---**
Because we are warriors
for an elusive lord!
**[20:54] ---**
Yes. The Elusive Warriors. That's good.
**[20:59] ---**
*These retainers are too good for me.*
**[21:04] ---**
*Let's all grow strong together*
*in this land!*
**[21:11] ---**
Now, let's eat
the good parts of that beast first.
**[21:16] ---**
We'll tell Lord Yorishige about it after.
**[21:19] ---**
What?
**[21:21] ---**
What the…
**[21:22] ---**
Why did you eat our whole catch,
you dumb god!
**[21:26] ---**
It was a pitiful beast
that fell to the influence of evil!
**[21:30] ---**
I'm purifying its soul
in my sacred stomach.
**[21:32] ---**
BEAST THAT'S STRANGE TO ME
WILL WANDER IN GLOOMY DARKNESS
**[21:34] ---**
-Shut up! Give me back my meat!
-You're a gluttonous god!
**[21:38] ---**
REJECTED
**[21:39] ---**
What is going on in this god's stomach?
**[21:49] ---**
I see.
**[21:51] ---**
I can see it.
**[21:53] ---**
Yorishige of Suwa is plotting
something wicked.
**[22:00] ---**
I'll never let him get away with it.
**[23:39] ---**

**[00:01] ---**
EMPEROR GODAIGO
**[00:03] ---**
Takauji Ashikaga, the attack on the
Kamakura shogunate was indeed laborious.
**[00:07] ---**
To celebrate your service,
I grant you a character from my real name.
**[00:10] ---**
EXALTED
**[00:11] ---**
From today, you shall write your name
using the kanji for "exalted."
**[00:15] ---**
HEREBY KNOWN AS
TAKAUJI ASHIKAGA
**[00:16] ---**
Thank you. I'm very honored.
**[00:19] ---**
CE 1333 (GENKŌ YEAR 3)
AUGUST 5TH KYOTO
**[00:20] ---**
Thanks to you, I won back the country.
**[00:23] ---**
If there is a position in
the new imperial court that you want,
**[00:25] ---**
do not hesitate to tell me now.
**[00:28] ---**
I am just a soldier.
**[00:30] ---**
I cannot be a scribe.
**[00:34] ---**
However, my retainers behind us
are much too pure of heart
**[00:39] ---**
and exceedingly wise and brave
for the likes of me.
**[00:43] ---**
I would be very happy if you gave
them work in the imperial court.
**[00:48] ---**
Wow.
**[00:49] ---**
I heard he was
the warrior that ruined Kamakura.
**[00:52] ---**
I wonder how demonic his face is.
**[00:55] ---**
He has such a kind smile.
I could just melt!
**[00:59] ---**
He's human after all.
**[01:02] ---**
The Emperor's wish was granted.
**[01:05] ---**
The time has come
for the Emperor and the nobles
**[01:08] ---**
to replace the shogunate's rule
over the country.
**[01:12] ---**
Good work today.
**[01:16] ---**
What is it, Moronao?
**[01:18] ---**
ASHIKAGA HOUSE STEWARD
MORONAO OF KO
**[01:19] ---**
It's nothing.
**[01:22] ---**
I've been serving you
since you were a child.
**[01:25] ---**
But your smile has recently
seemed less and less human.
**[01:32] ---**
Don't say such a stupid thing.
**[01:35] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[01:36] ---**
We're going to ask everyone
to support the Emperor.
**[01:40] ---**
Sir.
**[01:45] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[03:07] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[03:15] ---**
Lord Takauji,
**[03:17] ---**
thank you for recommending me
as governor of Shinano.
**[03:22] ---**
Of course. You deserve the reward.
**[03:25] ---**
You were first to betray the Hojo
and fought as my retainer.
**[03:30] ---**
However, your province, Shinano,
**[03:32] ---**
has Hojo's top retainer,
Mr. Suwa, going strong.
**[03:36] ---**
Hojo's survivors are
definitely taking refuge there.
**[03:40] ---**
I trust you will sniff them out.
**[03:45] ---**
Those ticks.
**[03:46] ---**
I can tell there are four males
and one female.
**[03:51] ---**
Count on me, Lord Takauji.
**[03:53] ---**
My arrows and my eyes are
the most excellent in this country.
**[03:57] ---**
I will find and kill any little bug.
**[04:01] ---**
SADAMUNE OGASAWARA
**[04:12] ---**
SLUGGISH
**[04:17] ---**
Are you serious?
**[04:18] ---**
I've never seen anyone not be able
to cut through a bundle of straw.
**[04:22] ---**
Even on the offense,
**[04:24] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki's muscles are always
getting ready to escape.
**[04:29] ---**
As a result,
he's always timid when he swings.
**[04:34] ---**
You have to train diligently
and put your back into it.
**[04:39] ---**
SQUEEZE SQUEEZE
**[04:40] ---**
That's the opposite of what we want.
**[04:41] ---**
If we train his muscles
to attack too much,
**[04:43] ---**
his running-away muscles will weaken.
**[04:44] ---**
His attack and evasion will become
mediocre, and he'll lose his strong suit.
**[04:48] ---**
What are running-away muscles?
**[04:52] ---**
My lord, you're a good shot.
**[04:56] ---**
My father enjoyed
watching archery competitions.
**[05:00] ---**
Wow, what splendid skill you have,
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[05:04] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:06] ---**
Bulls-eye!
**[05:08] ---**
It's a clean bulls-eye!
**[05:10] ---**
You've done it, Lord Tokiyuki!
**[05:14] ---**
I know I look weak,
but I trained in archery a lot.
**[05:18] ---**
It's decided then.
**[05:20] ---**
Let's maximize your archery skills.
**[05:23] ---**
*A general who just runs away all the
time is going to weaken his army's morale.
*
**[05:26] ---**
*We should make the best
of Lord Tokiyuki's special skill.
*
**[05:28] ---**
*He should learn how to attack
while he runs.
*
**[05:32] ---**
*I wonder where I could find an instructor
to teach such an unorthodox method?
*
**[05:37] ---**
Lord Yorishige!
**[05:38] ---**
Sadamune Ogasawara of West Shinano
has stopped by for a surprise visit.
**[05:44] ---**
Sadamune?
**[05:46] ---**
Who's that?
**[05:48] ---**
Is he not an acquaintance from Kamakura?
**[05:50] ---**
I don't know him.
**[05:52] ---**
Perhaps he was not of a status
**[05:53] ---**
where he could freely come and go
to my father's residence?
**[05:55] ---**
Okay then.
**[05:58] ---**
*For good measure,
hide and watch from that small shack.
*
**[06:03] ---**
Oh, Yorishige, it's been too long!
**[06:07] ---**
Thank you for coming all this way.
**[06:10] ---**
What brings you here, Sadamune?
**[06:13] ---**
Sorry for coming so suddenly.
**[06:15] ---**
I just wanted to greet you.
**[06:19] ---**
As you know, the shogunate has fallen.
**[06:21] ---**
The government has
returned to the Emperor Godaigo.
**[06:25] ---**
I have an Imperial Command from him.
**[06:28] ---**
He's appointed me, Sadamune Ogasawara,
as governor of Shinano.
**[06:30] ---**
IMPERIAL COMMAND = DECREE
*DO NOT DEFY
**[06:32] ---**
That is to say,
**[06:34] ---**
you take orders from me now.
**[06:39] ---**
*Squish.
*
**[06:40] ---**
SUWA FAMILY MEMBER
MORITAKA SUWA
**[06:42] ---**
You were working for Suwa
just the other day.
**[06:45] ---**
Now you want to give us orders?
**[06:48] ---**
When the Kamakura shogunate fell,
**[06:51] ---**
I did a great service to the Emperor
by fighting the rebel Hojo.
**[06:55] ---**
But you… You took Hojo's side.
**[06:58] ---**
Many of you fought on their behalf,
**[07:01] ---**
so you can hardly complain when
your territory gets taken away from you.
**[07:04] ---**
Well, we will visit this issue
another time.
**[07:08] ---**
I came today for one more reason.
**[07:14] ---**
If you have any of the Hojo clan or any of
their important retainers sheltered here,
**[07:19] ---**
hand them over.
**[07:23] ---**
There's no way I'd be hiding someone.
**[07:25] ---**
How can I hand over
someone I haven't even seen?
**[07:28] ---**
Oh, you haven't even seen a Hojo?
**[07:33] ---**
*In the distance, I can see two soldiers
*
**[07:35] ---**
*behind the cedar tree
who are watching intently.
*
**[07:38] ---**
*There's a man who clutches
his small knife, ready for strife.
*
**[07:42] ---**
*There are children hidden and watching
from a small shack through slits.
*
**[07:47] ---**
They all look like people
suspiciously taking shelter to me!
**[07:51] ---**
You can't fool my all-seeing gaze,
Yorishige.
**[07:55] ---**
I'll catch all of them in no time.
**[07:59] ---**
That's all. I just wanted to say hello.
**[08:02] ---**
Take care.
**[08:06] ---**
Oh, and I forgot to mention.
**[08:08] ---**
I came in a hurry
and didn't bring any gifts.
**[08:10] ---**
Please accept a deer for Suwa Myojin.
**[08:15] ---**
Deer?
**[08:26] ---**
I hear it's good fortune if you catch
a deer with a split ear
**[08:30] ---**
at Suwa Grand Shrine.
**[08:36] ---**
-Sakae!
-Sakae!
**[08:38] ---**
A fortuitous gift for you!
There's one split-eared doe!
**[08:47] ---**
That creep.
**[08:52] ---**
How is Miss Sakae?
**[08:53] ---**
She said it'll sew back together.
**[08:55] ---**
She laughed
and said it wasn't a big deal, but…
**[08:59] ---**
Sadamune Ogasawara is an expert archer
known throughout the country.
**[09:03] ---**
*His vision and excellent
observational skills give him his edge.
*
**[09:08] ---**
We got a real troublesome one
as the governor of Shinano.
**[09:11] ---**
Damn it. That bug-eyed creep.
**[09:14] ---**
To think he'd aim at a simple
shrine maiden. I can't believe it.
**[09:17] ---**
What do you think, my lord?
**[09:20] ---**
He acts disgracefully as a warrior.
**[09:22] ---**
It's obvious he's a bug-eyed psychopath.
**[09:26] ---**
-But…
-But?
**[09:29] ---**
His archery was beautiful.
**[09:36] ---**
*What an honest and generous boy.
*
**[09:39] ---**
*-Even if it's his enemy…
*-Of course what he did was not okay.
**[09:41] ---**
*-…he appreciates skill.
*-I don't condone his behavior.
**[09:43] ---**
*Once he becomes a general,
this fair character will surely be useful.
*
**[09:51] ---**
*And I just found a perfect instructor.
*
**[09:54] ---**
It's decided, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[09:56] ---**
The next game of tag is hide-and-seek.
**[09:59] ---**
Hide-and-seek?
**[10:01] ---**
*Sadamune has two goals.
*
**[10:03] ---**
*First, to find
any surviving Hojo family members.
*
**[10:06] ---**
*And he'll use that as an excuse to,
*
**[10:07] ---**
*two, weaken the amount of influence
the Suwa clan has.
*
**[10:09] ---**
You also have two goals.
**[10:12] ---**
First, never let them know who you are.
**[10:15] ---**
Second, absorb his archery technique.
**[10:17] ---**
OGASAWARA TERRITORY
SUWA TERRITORY
**[10:19] ---**
*Sadamune will abuse
his position as governor,
*
**[10:20] ---**
*and come to pick fights from now on.
*
**[10:23] ---**
GOVERNOR COMMAND
**[10:24] ---**
*This means you'll get to see
his archery in action many times.
*
**[10:28] ---**
*At times, you'll physically hide yourself.
*
**[10:30] ---**
*Other times, you'll hide your identity.
*
**[10:32] ---**
*Without being too close or too far,
you'll observe his form.
*
**[10:39] ---**
It's hide-and-seek
from his eyes and arrows!
**[10:42] ---**
The thrill is not knowing
whether you'll be identified or shot!
**[10:46] ---**
Aren't you excited, Lord Tokiyuki?
**[10:52] ---**
I heard a rumor, Mr. Sadamune.
I hear that in three days…
**[10:55] ---**
ASSISTANT TO GOVERNOR OF SHINANO
SUKEFUSA ICHIKAWA
**[10:57] ---**
…we'll get to enjoy a dog-shooting
competition at Suwa Grand Shrine.
**[11:00] ---**
So with that being said,
I have an excellent plan.
**[11:03] ---**
We shall weaken Yorishige Suwa's influence
**[11:06] ---**
and search out the Hojo survivors.
**[11:09] ---**
I'm going to participate in
the dog-shooting competition.
**[11:12] ---**
I'll start a fight and set conditions.
**[11:14] ---**
When I win the competition,
I can get what I want.
**[11:16] ---**
GRIN
**[11:19] ---**
That's a splendid idea.
**[11:22] ---**
*That felt so gross to have him
whisper to me with those protruding eyes!
*
**[11:27] ---**
DAY OF DOG-SHOOTING COMPETITION
**[11:34] ---**
Damn it. I can't hit anything!
**[11:37] ---**
I have to get better.
**[11:42] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki, you're next.
**[11:44] ---**
Good luck.
**[11:46] ---**
Thank you.
**[11:47] ---**
Shizuku, it's dangerous to say
Lord Tokiyuki's name in this crowd.
**[11:52] ---**
From now on, use a false name.
**[11:56] ---**
Think of a pseudonym.
**[11:59] ---**
Then I'll call you Big Brother.
**[12:05] ---**
What?
**[12:08] ---**
My lord!
**[12:09] ---**
You have to see this!
**[12:11] ---**
We have a surprise contestant!
**[12:12] ---**
The governor of Shinano,
Sadamune Ogasawara,
**[12:15] ---**
is jumping into the competition!
**[12:17] ---**
Why is he acting like he can just join in?
**[12:20] ---**
And so persistently…
**[12:22] ---**
Dog-shooting competitions
are Shinano's main event.
**[12:26] ---**
As the governor of Shinano,
I had to liven up the party.
**[12:29] ---**
Am I allowed, Yorishige?
**[12:32] ---**
Of course. I welcome you.
**[12:35] ---**
You have five arrows.
**[12:36] ---**
Scoring is based on the location
of the shot and shooting posture as usual.
**[12:42] ---**
Release the dogs!
**[12:53] ---**
Right-handed shot on the dog's stomach.
Four points!
**[12:57] ---**
Right-handed shot on the dog's head.
Five points!
**[13:03] ---**
Right-handed shot on the dog's neck.
Five points!
**[13:05] ---**
*What skill.
*
**[13:07] ---**
*He's shooting all right-handed shots
that score high points.
*
**[13:10] ---**
LEFT SIDED
**[13:11] ---**
*With the right-handed shot,
it's hard to pull the bow
*
**[13:13] ---**
*when you must twist your body.
*
**[13:14] ---**
RIGHT SIDED
**[13:15] ---**
*And what's more,
*
**[13:16] ---**
*he's hitting the dogs all on their
critical points, on their upper half.
*
**[13:19] ---**
*Mr. Yorishige is quivering?
*
**[13:22] ---**
*Is he terrified of Sadamune's skills?
*
**[13:25] ---**
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE
**[13:26] ---**
It's not that. In the future,
they consider this animal abuse.
**[13:29] ---**
But during this time,
this is a normal thing.
**[13:31] ---**
If this is a problem, I'm in trouble.
**[13:33] ---**
Who in the world are you justifying to?
**[13:38] ---**
Now let's see, what place am I now?
**[13:41] ---**
Individually, you're in first.
**[13:43] ---**
Oh?
**[13:45] ---**
Are you shocked that
a surprise contestant has first place?
**[13:49] ---**
So is this the level
of Suwa Grand Shrine to the God of War?
**[13:53] ---**
Don't get cocky!
**[13:55] ---**
There are still
many strong competitors waiting!
**[13:58] ---**
Then let those strong competitors
come bet on a one-on-one match.
**[14:02] ---**
A bet?
**[14:03] ---**
As you know,
I'm looking for Hojo survivors.
**[14:07] ---**
If none of you can win against me,
**[14:11] ---**
*you'll allow me to search
*
**[14:15] ---**
*your suspicious folks' homes for them
without complaint.
*
**[14:20] ---**
That scumbag,
saying whatever conditions he wants.
**[14:23] ---**
He only has a few men, but he's so bold.
**[14:26] ---**
We can't oppose him too carelessly
since he was appointed by the Emperor.
**[14:31] ---**
On the other hand,
**[14:33] ---**
if he comes out and says what he wants,
he won't get off scot-free.
**[14:38] ---**
This is how Sadamune and I advance
and retreat in our fight without a fight.
**[14:45] ---**
I'm in on that bet.
**[14:48] ---**
If we win, then with your authority,
you won't let our territory be searched.
**[14:54] ---**
How's that?
**[14:57] ---**
*You bit the bait.
*
**[14:59] ---**
*As a Suwa landlord, you have your pride.
*
**[15:02] ---**
*If you're challenged
in front of your people, you must accept.
*
**[15:06] ---**
*Lose the bet and suffer embarrassment!
*
**[15:08] ---**
*Afterwards, if we can find the Hojo
refugees, we'll expose your crimes!
*
**[15:11] ---**
*Suwa will fall, and you will
have to surrender to Ogasawara.
*
**[15:14] ---**
HOJO
**[15:17] ---**
And what strong competitor will you offer?
**[15:20] ---**
Strong competitor?
**[15:22] ---**
For you, I think this child is sufficient.
**[15:27] ---**
Pop!
**[15:28] ---**
His name is Chojumaru.
**[15:30] ---**
He's Suwa's least competent,
so I think it'll be a good match.
**[15:34] ---**
Are you mocking me, Yorishige?
**[15:38] ---**
It's not interesting
if we do things the normal way.
**[15:43] ---**
So let's make a rule that you can also win
points by shooting at each other's bodies.
**[15:50] ---**
Huh? Are you shaking in your boots?
**[15:53] ---**
Unlike the shrine maiden you shot
the other day, this boy's got a weapon!
**[15:57] ---**
Stop this, Lord Yorishige!
**[15:59] ---**
The young lord's combat prowess
is that of a rabbit. Suwa will end!
**[16:03] ---**
He's someone whose face goes "sigh"
and loses.
**[16:05] ---**
Don't underestimate his weakness!
**[16:08] ---**
What they said!
**[16:09] ---**
I don't understand why you're purposely
**[16:12] ---**
making the chased battle
against the chaser.
**[16:16] ---**
There's great worth in it.
**[16:18] ---**
Battling against a master
will let you grow greatly.
**[16:22] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki, I can see
a bright future full of growth for you
**[16:28] ---**
if you go against him.
**[16:30] ---**
I will say this clearly.
**[16:31] ---**
After the battle,
you will learn a cool new skill.
**[16:36] ---**
At least, that's a feeling I get.
**[16:37] ---**
I wonder if it'll happen?
**[16:40] ---**
Speak clearly!
**[16:42] ---**
Now, what shall we do today?
**[16:45] ---**
As general of Hojo, you can
choose danger and grow, or run away.
**[16:49] ---**
It's up to you.
**[16:53] ---**
That's an unfair way to put it.
**[16:55] ---**
You're always making me do what you want.
**[16:58] ---**
*If I've decided to kill Takauji, then…
*
**[17:03] ---**
Give me the arrows, Shizuku.
**[17:07] ---**
What a strange person.
**[17:09] ---**
He's always running away,
**[17:11] ---**
but he doesn't run away
from the most formidable enemy here.
**[17:14] ---**
I see his future clearly now too.
**[17:17] ---**
He won't run away from the
important things he's set his heart on.
**[17:27] ---**
Kid, I'll make you pay
the price for disrespecting me.
**[17:33] ---**
Please send the bill to Mr. Yorishige.
**[17:36] ---**
I can tell you're unskilled
by just looking at you.
**[17:39] ---**
You really think you can win, kid?
**[17:41] ---**
Only God knows.
**[17:46] ---**
Begin!
**[17:50] ---**
*Right, should I gain points
by hitting dogs per usual?
*
**[17:55] ---**
*Of course not! The kid is my target!
*
**[17:59] ---**
Damn kid!
**[18:00] ---**
You really wish to anger me?
**[18:03] ---**
*It doesn't have to land.
*
**[18:05] ---**
*Make him completely focus on you
as the target with your first blow.
*
**[18:09] ---**
*A warrior is a creature that
can't turn down a challenge.
*
**[18:13] ---**
*He will, without a doubt, shoot back.
*
**[18:16] ---**
*First, dodge his shots.
*
**[18:22] ---**
*Sadamune doesn't like to
shoot in rapid succession
*
**[18:26] ---**
*because he gives his all for every shot.
*
**[18:29] ---**
*You'll have time
till he shoots the next arrow.
*
**[18:32] ---**
*Till then,
shoot a dog and gain some points.
*
**[18:35] ---**
*There should be a red dog that runs
close by so as to be an easy target.
*
**[18:40] ---**
That dog was trained
for entertainment purposes!
**[18:43] ---**
There's such a thing?
**[18:48] ---**
*Make sure you aim, you lousy shooter!
*
**[18:51] ---**
*I only get my venison reward
if you hit me.
*
**[18:53] ---**
One more shot!
**[18:56] ---**
*That's it.
*
**[18:57] ---**
Left-handed shot on the torso. One point!
**[19:00] ---**
The brat got the first point!
**[19:02] ---**
Damn kid!
**[19:04] ---**
*Afterwards, simply focus on evading.
*
**[19:06] ---**
*For someone that doesn't know you,
it'll be difficult to hit you.
*
**[19:12] ---**
TOP MAJOR LEAGUER'S BEST SPEED
ABOUT 160 KM/H
**[19:16] ---**
THIRD KEISEI SKYLINER TOP SPEED
QUICKEST 36 MIN.
**[19:18] ---**
ARROWS WERE SLOWER
THAN MODERN ARROWS.
**[19:19] ---**
DODGING THEM WAS NOT UNHEARD OF.
**[19:23] ---**
*Dang. This is my last arrow.
*
**[19:26] ---**
*I still don't have any points.
*
**[19:28] ---**
*If I miss, that seals my loss.
*
**[19:31] ---**
*Sadamune is feeling the pressure now.
Will he readjust his aim toward the dogs?
*
**[19:35] ---**
*The dogs chosen for this event are
Suwa Grand Shrine's best runners.
*
**[19:40] ---**
*Not even Sadamune can hit you so easily.
*
**[19:44] ---**
*Using your skilled evasion
to your advantage,
*
**[19:47] ---**
*aim for Sadamune
with your remaining arrows.
*
**[19:49] ---**
*Once he fears being your target,
he'll become frustrated and confused.
*
**[19:52] ---**
*Having lost all composure,
he won't even be able to aim at the dogs.
*
**[20:02] ---**
This is bad.
Sadamune is in Lord Tokiyuki's blind spot.
**[20:05] ---**
It's impossible for the lord to aim
no matter how he twists or turns.
**[20:08] ---**
To win a war,
simply having a bow and arrow won't do.
**[20:11] ---**
You must be on horseback in order to
gain an indispensable vantage point.
**[20:14] ---**
This isn't
a dog-shooting competition anymore.
**[20:17] ---**
It's an equestrian archery showdown
you'd see on the battlefield.
**[20:19] ---**
Lord Moritaka.
**[20:21] ---**
Suwa Grand Shrine's king of commentary.
**[20:24] ---**
Chojumaru continuously attempts to
throw Sadamune out of his blind spot
**[20:27] ---**
by frantically turning his horse.
**[20:29] ---**
Without even holding on to the reins,
Sadamune trails him easily.
**[20:33] ---**
*Even Emperor Godaigo praised
Sadamune Ogasawara's martial arts.
*
**[20:40] ---**
It's good.
**[20:41] ---**
The Emperor said "It's good!"
**[20:43] ---**
KING
**[20:44] ---**
*"Sadamune should be
an example for all warriors."
*
**[20:47] ---**
*Thus, Ogasawara was granted special
permission from the Emperor himself
*
**[20:49] ---**
*to use the character "king"
in his family crest.
*
**[20:53] ---**
*Sadamune's discipline of martial arts
*
**[20:56] ---**
*is still widely practiced to this day,
in the 21st century.
*
**[21:00] ---**
*With your focus so divided
between steering your horse and dodging,
*
**[21:05] ---**
*don't think that split second where
you forget to evade will escape my gaze!
*
**[21:11] ---**
NANBOKUCHO GAME OF TAG
ALL-SEEING DEMON OGASAWARA
**[21:19] ---**
Right-handed shot on the opponent's head.
Five points!
**[21:20] ---**
Whoa, what a comeback!
**[21:22] ---**
That Sadamune didn't hold back!
He's winning by four points!
**[21:26] ---**
Now, I've exhausted all my arrows.
**[21:29] ---**
You're free to aim for whatever you like.
Dog or human.
**[21:32] ---**
I won't give up my position
in your blind spot though.
**[21:35] ---**
I'll run my horse into you to
hinder your shot when you aim for a dog.
**[21:39] ---**
The game is over, kid.
**[21:43] ---**
*There's blood. It hurts.
*
**[21:46] ---**
*There's no winning. I'm scared!
*
**[21:48] ---**
*If this was a real arrow, I'd be dead.
*
**[21:55] ---**
*Why do you run?
*
**[21:57] ---**
*Are you afraid?
*
**[21:59] ---**
*Are you uselessly struggling?
*
**[22:03] ---**
*This is fun!
*

**[00:05] ---**
The difference is four points.
**[00:07] ---**
COMMENTARY MORITAKA SUWA
**[00:08] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki needs five more points
to make a comeback!
**[00:16] ---**
IRKED
**[00:17] ---**
What is that about?
**[00:19] ---**
He's absolutely going to try
to stop him from scoring.
**[00:21] ---**
ONE POINT - THREE POINTS
**[00:23] ---**
He only has two arrows left.
He has to hit a head or a neck to win.
**[00:37] ---**
Give up.
**[00:38] ---**
It's impossible for you to make
a four-point comeback at this point!
**[00:49] ---**
-My lord!
-Young Lord!
**[00:51] ---**
Well, I think we've got a winner.
**[00:56] ---**
Run, Chojumaru!
**[00:58] ---**
You think you could be a match
for Sadamune
**[01:00] ---**
just with your shooting abilities?
**[01:02] ---**
You must combine evading and shooting!
**[01:05] ---**
*I have to evade while I shoot?*
**[01:08] ---**
Lord Yorishige, do you think
he understood what you meant?
**[01:26] ---**
*It's all so clear.*
**[01:28] ---**
*When I start running,*
*my head clears, and I can see everything.*
**[01:33] ---**
*If I aim for a dog, Sadamune will run*
*into me from my blind spot for certain.*
**[01:38] ---**
*It's impossible for me*
*to hit a small moving target*
**[01:40] ---**
*while trying to ward off his attacks.*
**[01:44] ---**
*Wait, I know!*
**[01:47] ---**
*There's one target I can aim for*
*in a split second.*
**[02:01] ---**
*A reverse shot. You're aiming behind you?*
**[02:05] ---**
*You idiot.*
**[02:06] ---**
*It's called a blind spot because I'm in*
*a position where you can't shoot me.*
**[02:09] ---**
*You can't twist your body any further*
*while you're mounted on that horse.*
**[02:14] ---**
*I am elusive*
*and the heir to the Hojo clan.*
**[02:17] ---**
TWO POINTS
**[02:18] ---**
*While I'm running away, I can do anything!*
**[02:28] ---**
Reverse shot on the opponent's neck.
Two points!
**[02:30] ---**
SUWA 3 - OGASAWARA 5
DOG-SHOOTING COMPETITION 1333
**[02:32] ---**
-You did it!
-Yes!
**[02:34] ---**
I get it!
**[02:35] ---**
COMMENTARY MORITAKA SUWA
**[02:36] ---**
If my lord aims for a dog, Sadamune
is sure to come from his blind spot.
**[02:39] ---**
The angle and distance
are much more certain,
**[02:41] ---**
and he's a much larger target than a dog!
**[02:44] ---**
That split-second judgment.
**[02:47] ---**
His sense of balance and flexible body
make acrobatic marksmanship possible.
**[02:51] ---**
That boy's potential blooms
when he's on the run.
**[02:56] ---**
It's decided.
**[02:58] ---**
Our lord's special move is a reverse shot.
**[03:02] ---**
In the future, there'll be a word that
makes a youngster's heart leap for joy.
**[03:06] ---**
-What?
-What?
**[03:14] ---**
*It's not over yet!*
*It's still five to three.*
**[03:17] ---**
*Here comes a right-handed shot.*
**[03:18] ---**
*As long as I cover my head,*
*he can't make a comeback!*
**[03:31] ---**
A classic example
of attacking while running away.
**[03:34] ---**
It's called…
**[03:38] ---**
PARTHIAN SHOT
**[03:45] ---**
*The Parthian shot.*
**[03:47] ---**
*Parthia was an ancient kingdom*
*in the Middle East.*
**[03:50] ---**
*They used this backward-facing tactic*
*to defeat Rome,*
**[03:52] ---**
*the strongest army*
*in the world at the time.*
**[03:56] ---**
*As the enemy got near,*
*the Parthians attacked while they ran.*
**[03:58] ---**
*They continued to fight*
*with hit-and-run tactics.*
**[04:00] ---**
*The Roman army's heavy infantry, having*
*no way to retaliate, ran out of energy.*
**[04:08] ---**
Reverse shot on the opponent's head.
Three points!
**[04:11] ---**
Right on!
**[04:12] ---**
SUWA 6 - OGASAWARA 5
**[04:14] ---**
With a score of six versus five,
Chojumaru wins!
**[04:17] ---**
-Yes!
-You did it!
**[04:18] ---**
Take that, punk! Go, Chojumaru!
**[04:23] ---**
That's for shooting the shrine maiden.
**[04:29] ---**
It was just a coincidence
I hit his ear, though.
**[04:33] ---**
Congratulations on your victory.
**[04:34] ---**
YORISHIGE APPEARED!
**[04:36] ---**
Isn't it fun to fight while running away?
**[04:37] ---**
TOKIYUKI - FIGHT - RUN
**[04:38] ---**
We can continue
to come up with more and more ways!
**[04:41] ---**
Now, Sadamune,
it's time to fulfill your promise.
**[04:45] ---**
Leave Suwa
and don't meddle with us ever again.
**[04:50] ---**
Don't be so full of yourself.
**[04:52] ---**
A dog-shooting competition
is just for entertainment.
**[04:55] ---**
You sided with traitors so your territory
should immediately be forfeit!
**[04:59] ---**
I'll look thoroughly
for the Hojo survivors afterwards!
**[05:03] ---**
HERE
**[05:07] ---**
*Damn Yorishige.*
**[05:09] ---**
*Why did you bring out the kid?*
**[05:12] ---**
*It's hard to believe*
*he had a sure chance of victory.*
**[05:15] ---**
*And his mannerisms and behavior…*
**[05:18] ---**
*He had the bearing of a nobleman*
*you don't usually see at his age.*
**[05:23] ---**
*Could he be part of the Hojo family?*
**[05:27] ---**
*No, Yorishige wouldn't bring forward such*
*an important person right in front of me!*
**[05:33] ---**
*I don't understand*
*Yorishige's intentions at all!*
**[05:37] ---**
Sadamune has good eyes.
**[05:39] ---**
He should be baffled
because he noticed too much.
**[05:43] ---**
We have arranged with a certain individual
**[05:45] ---**
to spread rumors of
the Hojo clan sightings all across Japan.
**[05:51] ---**
*Gods and people exist*
*only if you have faith.*
**[05:54] ---**
*Simply believing in them gives them power.*
**[05:57] ---**
*With suspicions abound*
*all throughout the country,*
**[06:01] ---**
*our enemy's attention will be divided.*
**[06:05] ---**
May you grow strong.
**[06:09] ---**
This is a battle you advance
while running.
**[06:11] ---**
You're already running on the journey
to win back the country!
**[06:19] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[07:42] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[07:48] ---**
"A useless and dishonorable skill
for a warrior."
**[07:51] ---**
That's what they said
about the skills I've learned for my lord.
**[07:56] ---**
The better I got at it,
the more trust I lost.
**[08:00] ---**
The lord to whom I was long devoted
accused me of stealing from him.
**[08:03] ---**
And I was banished.
**[08:07] ---**
Listen. You are my successor.
**[08:12] ---**
In my final hours, you will inherit
my name and my principles.
**[08:17] ---**
Trust only money.
**[08:19] ---**
Neither trust nor devotion will return
once you've lent them out.
**[08:23] ---**
Use your skills
and trust only money, Genba!
**[08:32] ---**
You can do it, my lord.
**[08:33] ---**
One, two. One, two. One, two.
**[08:38] ---**
Good work. A little more!
**[08:40] ---**
Why does the heir to the shogunate
have to perform such physical labor?
**[08:46] ---**
Right now,
you're Suwa Grand Shrine's Chojumaru.
**[08:50] ---**
Enemies coming to visit will be suspicious
if we don't have you working already.
**[08:55] ---**
The only enemy who would come is Sadamune.
**[08:58] ---**
But he suffered huge embarrassment
just yesterday,
**[09:00] ---**
so he probably won't
show his face for a while.
**[09:03] ---**
Hi!
**[09:04] ---**
-What?
-What?
**[09:05] ---**
He's here with a smile.
**[09:07] ---**
What a resilient man.
**[09:09] ---**
I've kept you waiting, Suwa folk.
**[09:12] ---**
I bring an Imperial Command.
**[09:14] ---**
An Imperial Command?
**[09:15] ---**
Didn't he bring one last time?
**[09:18] ---**
COMMENTARY MORITAKA SUWA
**[09:19] ---**
The Imperial Command from the other day
was appointing Sadamune as governor.
**[09:23] ---**
Today's Command is probably…
**[09:25] ---**
"You are traitors
who have sided with Hojo.
**[09:28] ---**
As punishment,
the Suwa clan and their retainers
**[09:30] ---**
must forfeit the lands
north of Lake Suwa to Ogasawara."
**[09:33] ---**
FORFEITURE
**[09:35] ---**
You're lying.
**[09:37] ---**
Within ten days, retainers living in
the corresponding regions must relocate.
**[09:42] ---**
Deliver the news with dignity
like a good lord.
**[09:54] ---**
What should we do?
**[09:57] ---**
We've cultivated this land tirelessly
since our ancestor's time!
**[10:00] ---**
We can't just hand it over
to that Sadamune creep without a struggle.
**[10:03] ---**
That's right!
**[10:04] ---**
We must go to war.
**[10:07] ---**
Lord Yorishige, please command us.
**[10:12] ---**
If we go against the Imperial Command
and go to war,
**[10:15] ---**
we'll become an enemy of the court.
**[10:17] ---**
Now is not the time to rise up.
**[10:20] ---**
That's enough for today.
Everyone, you're free to go.
**[10:25] ---**
-Chojumaru.
-Yes.
**[10:27] ---**
Stay behind. I have a task for you.
**[10:29] ---**
What?
**[10:31] ---**
I see you've named yourselves
the Elusive Warriors.
**[10:35] ---**
It's a good name. It suits you.
**[10:38] ---**
I don't feel like that's a compliment.
**[10:40] ---**
Anyways, what are you going to do?
**[10:44] ---**
At this rate, the people of Suwa…
**[10:48] ---**
You understand reason
and have a sense of justice.
**[10:52] ---**
But having those two qualities
is not enough.
**[10:57] ---**
In fact, there's someone I want to recruit
to the Elusive Warriors.
**[11:01] ---**
What?
**[11:02] ---**
He's a thief named Genba Kazama.
**[11:05] ---**
A thief?
**[11:06] ---**
He uses all sorts of trickery.
**[11:08] ---**
He can also get in anywhere
and steal anything.
**[11:12] ---**
Wow!
**[11:13] ---**
But,
**[11:15] ---**
why do we want a thief in our company?
**[11:17] ---**
There's something I want to ask of you.
**[11:20] ---**
Have him go into Sadamune's residence
and steal the Emperor's Imperial Command.
**[11:27] ---**
*According to information from Kyo,*
**[11:29] ---**
*it's taking quite some time*
*to issue Imperial Commands.*
**[11:32] ---**
*If this one goes missing,*
*it'll buy us a good amount of time.*
**[11:34] ---**
END OF THE LINE
**[11:35] ---**
This is so wrong.
**[11:38] ---**
Yes. But in the world we're joining,
**[11:40] ---**
you'll need more than righteousness
to bring forth justice.
**[11:46] ---**
You shall learn to make use
of wicked people as retainers too.
**[11:48] ---**
You'll be prepared as a general
with everything in your arsenal.
**[11:54] ---**
Are you sure, Lord Yorishige?
**[11:57] ---**
Letting the children
and Lord Tokiyuki go by themselves?
**[12:00] ---**
He's a child, but he is a ruler's child.
**[12:03] ---**
You are sure to see
he is fit to be a lord.
**[12:14] ---**
KIKYOGAHARA
**[12:20] ---**
He should be in this village somewhere.
**[12:24] ---**
Excuse me.
**[12:26] ---**
Yes?
**[12:27] ---**
May I ask a question?
**[12:29] ---**
What is it, you beautiful, young ladies?
**[12:32] ---**
We're looking for someone.
**[12:34] ---**
Oh, I see. Do you know their name?
**[12:36] ---**
Yes. Genba Kazama.
**[12:39] ---**
Genba Kazama.
**[12:41] ---**
Genba Kazama.
**[12:44] ---**
Genba Kazama.
**[12:47] ---**
…is his name.
**[13:03] ---**
How bad do they hate him?
**[13:04] ---**
It's loud and clear
they want nothing to do with him.
**[13:07] ---**
No one dares to get on my bad side.
**[13:10] ---**
If someone makes an enemy of me,
they're sure to see hell.
**[13:16] ---**
He's in the tree!
**[13:18] ---**
For some reason,
our lord is also in the tree!
**[13:21] ---**
My name is Genba Kazama.
**[13:23] ---**
I heard my name from
about ten kilometers away, so I've come.
**[13:29] ---**
State your business.
**[13:31] ---**
I'm Chojumaru of Suwa Grand Shrine.
**[13:35] ---**
I wanted to personally add you
as my retainer.
**[13:39] ---**
What do you mean, "Chojumaru"?
**[13:41] ---**
You're Hojo's brat, aren't you?
**[13:44] ---**
I wonder how much you'd go for
if I sold you to Sadamune.
**[13:49] ---**
Young Lord, get away!
**[13:50] ---**
Damn it. I knew we couldn't trust a thief.
**[13:53] ---**
Don't be in a hurry, you idiots.
**[13:55] ---**
Negotiations are just beginning.
**[14:02] ---**
-My wallet!
-My wallet!
**[14:03] ---**
TO BE BIG IS A GOOD THING
**[14:04] ---**
What skill!
**[14:06] ---**
My skill isn't cheap.
**[14:09] ---**
I want 100 kanmon
for not ratting you out to Sadamune.
**[14:12] ---**
100 KANMON = FIVE MILLION YEN
**[14:13] ---**
100 kanmon for each job I perform!
**[14:15] ---**
That's so expensive!
**[14:18] ---**
Money?
**[14:19] ---**
I won't let you get away with even
a single mon's worth of discount.
**[14:22] ---**
If you want my help, money is the thing
that'll tie us together.
**[14:28] ---**
Money.
**[14:30] ---**
*If he's shocked at this point,*
*we're not getting anywhere.*
**[14:33] ---**
*If you don't have money, you can't*
*get anyone to do anything for you.*
**[14:36] ---**
*I don't care how royal*
*the house you came from is.*
**[14:38] ---**
*Right now, you're just a brat*
*who can't do anything.*
**[14:42] ---**
*You're not fit to be a lord.*
**[14:44] ---**
*This is reality, brat!*
**[14:48] ---**
So, I just have to pay you?
**[14:50] ---**
Yes.
**[14:52] ---**
*If you can!*
**[14:54] ---**
*Are you planning on taking out a loan?*
**[14:59] ---**
Are you sure that's enough?
You don't want a province?
**[15:02] ---**
What?
**[15:05] ---**
-A province?
-To be honest, I was surprised.
**[15:08] ---**
*If you become my retainer*
**[15:09] ---**
*and help me recapture the country*
*with your incredible talent,*
**[15:12] ---**
*you'd be an original distinguished vassal*
*from the start of the war.*
**[15:16] ---**
KAI - MUSASHI
**[15:17] ---**
*It would be a no-brainer to give you*
*a province, like Kai or Musashi.*
**[15:21] ---**
How unselfish you are.
**[15:23] ---**
You ask not for a province,
but only for money!
**[15:27] ---**
*Kai? Musashi?*
**[15:32] ---**
I'm shocked.
**[15:34] ---**
Slowly. There we go.
**[15:37] ---**
I would be confused too.
**[15:41] ---**
The Suwa Grand Shrine will guarantee
payment for your daily expenses.
**[15:46] ---**
But are you sure cash is really okay?
**[15:51] ---**
Once Big Brother takes the country
and gives you a province,
**[15:54] ---**
you'll gain tens of thousands of kanmon.
**[15:57] ---**
E-V-E-R-Y year.
**[16:00] ---**
I get it, I get it.
This really is a gamble.
**[16:03] ---**
Take a small amount now
**[16:05] ---**
or bet on future returns
by serving my lord.
**[16:08] ---**
But,
**[16:09] ---**
you won't bet on this dream of a gamble?
**[16:13] ---**
The ruler's child
helplessly coming to you for a favor
**[16:16] ---**
will only happen once in a lifetime.
**[16:20] ---**
Stop whispering in both of my ears!
**[16:22] ---**
Let me decide for myself!
**[16:25] ---**
*Damn it. I was thinking of fooling them*
*and swindling some money.*
**[16:30] ---**
*But, it's fine.*
**[16:31] ---**
This might stain.
**[16:33] ---**
Hey, brat.
**[16:34] ---**
You said you wanted me to steal
the Emperor's Imperial Command.
**[16:38] ---**
I have one condition.
**[16:40] ---**
OGASAWARA'S RESIDENCE
**[16:41] ---**
The Emperor's Imperial Command
was very effective.
**[16:44] ---**
I'll chip away at Suwa's territories,
and soon it'll all be mine!
**[16:51] ---**
I'm not planning on risking my life
for an irresponsible employer.
**[16:55] ---**
I'll take the job
only if you're willing to come with me.
**[16:59] ---**
The Imperial Command is in that warehouse.
**[17:03] ---**
Just as the shrine maiden said.
**[17:06] ---**
I thought you'd be too scared to come.
**[17:08] ---**
Of course I'll come with you.
**[17:10] ---**
I was the one that was told to go steal
the Imperial Command.
**[17:14] ---**
Oh, you are so admirable.
**[17:16] ---**
But be careful.
**[17:19] ---**
If we mess up, we'll end up like them.
**[17:20] ---**
THE THIEVES
**[17:25] ---**
Can we trust him?
**[17:26] ---**
What if he takes our lord to a place
he can't escape and sells him out?
**[17:30] ---**
It's going to be okay.
**[17:31] ---**
Lord Yorishige is the one
who recommended him.
**[17:34] ---**
We, too, simply became
the Young Lord's retainers one day.
**[17:40] ---**
And it's been fun, right?
**[17:42] ---**
Well, that's true.
I don't tire of that lord.
**[17:47] ---**
KING
**[17:49] ---**
Three tightly secured locks.
**[17:51] ---**
Can you open it?
**[17:53] ---**
That's nothing.
**[17:55] ---**
The problem is the two guards
in front of the warehouse.
**[17:58] ---**
In the end, people are the best locks.
**[18:02] ---**
But my special skill
is getting through those locks.
**[18:19] ---**
*Follow me if you've got the guts.*
**[18:22] ---**
BOUNCE
**[18:25] ---**
*He's so excited.*
**[18:29] ---**
*Are you the type to do*
*whatever someone tells you to do?*
**[18:32] ---**
*You're the child of a high-ranking*
*warrior. Do you not have any shame?*
**[18:36] ---**
*A warrior's shame?*
**[18:37] ---**
*I threw most of that away*
*when I ran from Kamakura.*
**[18:41] ---**
*And I'm not doing this*
*just because I was told to.*
**[18:43] ---**
*I want to repay my debt*
*to the people of Suwa.*
**[18:45] ---**
*If I can repay the people*
*who warmly took me in,*
**[18:50] ---**
*I don't see that as a disgrace.*
**[18:54] ---**
That's stupid.
**[18:55] ---**
Listen, birdbrain.
**[18:58] ---**
Exchanges through obligations or honor
will eventually lead to loss.
**[19:02] ---**
If you can't physically see it,
it might as well not exist.
**[19:05] ---**
But offer money or instill fear,
and you can get people to do anything.
**[19:09] ---**
Money or fear?
**[19:11] ---**
For example, there was a woman
who refused to pay me after the fact
**[19:16] ---**
for investigating her husband's affair.
**[19:19] ---**
*So I snuck into her house.*
**[19:21] ---**
*I put roaches and pee in some rice.*
**[19:24] ---**
*And I cooked it up*
*nice and fluffy for her.*
**[19:27] ---**
Ever since then,
no one's dared to snub me.
**[19:31] ---**
*Oh, I see why no one likes him.*
**[19:35] ---**
People only believe in what they can see.
**[19:38] ---**
Genba?
**[19:40] ---**
Don't move.
**[19:53] ---**
Hey.
**[19:54] ---**
*Sadamune?*
**[19:55] ---**
*I can't be here.*
**[19:57] ---**
*But where should I go?*
**[19:59] ---**
*Plus, Genba told me not to move.*
**[20:02] ---**
*Genba?*
**[20:03] ---**
*What if he planned*
*to lure me here to begin with.*
**[20:08] ---**
Sir!
**[20:09] ---**
The nails
on the warehouse's northern end are loose.
**[20:13] ---**
Go fix it immediately.
**[20:15] ---**
But we've been commanded
to not leave the warehouse.
**[20:18] ---**
You idiots!
**[20:20] ---**
What if the enemy attacks tonight?
**[20:24] ---**
Will you atone for your mistakes
with your heads?
**[20:26] ---**
I wasn't thinking. I'll fix it right away!
**[20:30] ---**
Sir. By the way,
why do you have those ears?
**[20:35] ---**
I want people to think I'm cute!
**[20:37] ---**
Did it work?
**[20:38] ---**
Yes!
**[20:39] ---**
It snuck up on me like a night ambush,
but it's right up my alley!
**[20:46] ---**
KING
**[20:48] ---**
This mask
is made of secret ancestral clay.
**[20:51] ---**
I can morph into most people.
**[20:53] ---**
*Did he know who I was*
*because he'd morphed into someone I know*
**[20:59] ---**
*and snuck into Suwa Grand Shrine?*
**[21:02] ---**
I know
you thought I deceived you just then.
**[21:07] ---**
Is this what
the Imperial Command looks like?
**[21:14] ---**
Genba?
**[21:15] ---**
Someone who can steal anything,
morph into anyone.
**[21:19] ---**
Anyone would distrust
a subordinate like that.
**[21:22] ---**
Can you trust me enough to hire me?
**[21:27] ---**
Young Lord, you were already betrayed
by a million soldiers.
**[21:32] ---**
*I hear something in the warehouse.*
**[21:34] ---**
*Whispers. Two male kids?*
**[21:37] ---**
*What happened to the guards?*
**[21:40] ---**
*They're at the northern wall?*
**[21:41] ---**
*Why would they be there?*
**[21:47] ---**
-Goro.
-Sir!
**[21:48] ---**
Go wake Sadamune.
**[21:50] ---**
Hikohachiro, go wake the retainers.
**[21:52] ---**
Setaro, go communicate with the gate.
**[21:53] ---**
Sir!
**[21:58] ---**
If they hadn't put me in here
on this moonless night,
**[22:00] ---**
I wouldn't have had to
cut some rascals' throats.

**[00:09] ---**
They know we're here.
We'll be surrounded soon.
**[00:13] ---**
The Imperial Command is ours.
Let's get out of here.
**[00:17] ---**
It's not my job to protect you.
**[00:22] ---**
So if you want to live, try to keep up.
**[00:33] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[01:56] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[02:04] ---**
When I give the signal,
**[02:06] ---**
everyone goes in together.
**[02:10] ---**
Damn it.
**[02:12] ---**
And take this, too!
**[02:16] ---**
I can't see the thieves
in all this smoke and light.
**[02:18] ---**
-My eyes!
-Get past the smoke!
**[02:20] ---**
Give me that.
**[02:28] ---**
I can hear them.
**[02:31] ---**
I can hear them.
**[02:32] ---**
They used the fire as a distraction,
**[02:34] ---**
and they're climbing the wall
on the opposite side.
**[02:38] ---**
What…
**[02:39] ---**
Damn it.
**[02:41] ---**
I'm nowhere near as good with the bow
as Sadamune.
**[02:43] ---**
-Let's go!
-Westward!
**[02:45] ---**
Where is Sadamune?
**[02:46] ---**
The thieves scaled the wall and fled!
**[02:48] ---**
Gather your pride as Ogasawara's
retainers and don't let them get away!
**[02:53] ---**
That's Genba's signal.
**[02:55] ---**
-Time to lure them away.
-Yes.
**[02:57] ---**
Over there. They escaped on horseback.
**[03:00] ---**
*I heard the sound*
*of horses starting to run,*
**[03:02] ---**
*but there was no sound*
*of the brats' footsteps*
**[03:05] ---**
*going from the wall to the horse.*
**[03:07] ---**
*The horses probably belong to*
*their allies,*
**[03:09] ---**
*hidden beforehand as a lure.*
**[03:11] ---**
*And there was no sound*
*of anyone walking away.*
**[03:14] ---**
*If that's the case,*
**[03:18] ---**
*that means they're very close.*
**[03:21] ---**
*The brats must be in the forest,*
**[03:24] ---**
*holding their breaths.*
**[03:33] ---**
Where
**[03:38] ---**
are
**[03:41] ---**
you?
**[03:43] ---**
*It's Sadamune's suck-up,*
*Sukefusa Ichikawa.*
**[03:47] ---**
*The guy's got the ears of a fox.*
*It isn't fair he's hunting us down*
**[03:49] ---**
*on this dark of a night.*
**[03:50] ---**
*My illusions to fool his blind spot*
*won't help us.*
**[03:54] ---**
*This is bad. We'll be caught at this rate.*
**[03:58] ---**
*Should I sell this kid out at this point?*
**[04:01] ---**
*I messed up.*
**[04:02] ---**
*I thought it'd be fun to teach this naive,*
*spoiled brat*
**[04:05] ---**
*the harsh realities of the world.*
**[04:17] ---**
*This one…*
**[04:19] ---**
*I'm leaving behind.*
**[04:26] ---**
*If it's just me, I can make it.*
**[04:29] ---**
-*No!*
-*No one can hear my stealthy steps!*
**[04:32] ---**
*In hide-and-seek,*
**[04:34] ---**
*you'll absolutely be caught*
*if you move from such a close distance!*
**[04:37] ---**
NANBOKUCHO GAME OF TAG
**[04:41] ---**
I found you.
**[04:43] ---**
ALL-HEARING DEMON
SUKEFUSA ICHIKAWA
**[04:49] ---**
Ugh. Damn it.
**[04:51] ---**
I shouldn't have brought this long sword.
**[04:53] ---**
It's impossible to maneuver.
**[05:04] ---**
Hey.
**[05:06] ---**
I'm okay.
**[05:07] ---**
The blade hit the tree. It's just a cut.
**[05:13] ---**
Why did you save me
when I was going to abandon you?
**[05:15] ---**
You could have run away by yourself.
**[05:18] ---**
I doubted you earlier.
**[05:20] ---**
I can't apologize to you if you're dead.
**[05:23] ---**
My mental fortitude is weak,
**[05:27] ---**
and I don't have what it takes.
**[05:30] ---**
In the future, I may doubt you again.
**[05:32] ---**
But I promise,
**[05:33] ---**
I will never betray you.
**[05:36] ---**
What…
**[05:37] ---**
I like escaping with you.
**[05:41] ---**
With you and your tricks,
**[05:42] ---**
I can escape from strong demons
I could never escape from on my own.
**[05:47] ---**
Thinking about it that way,
I can't help but get excited.
**[05:51] ---**
Even if you're ever cornered,
**[05:54] ---**
or if you ever betray me,
**[05:57] ---**
when we run away, we run together!
**[06:10] ---**
*Tokiyuki has been betrayed*
*by countless people,*
**[06:15] ---**
*but he has never betrayed anyone.*
**[06:20] ---**
*At a time when betraying and deserting*
*one's allies was commonplace,*
**[06:24] ---**
*Tokiyuki could be said to be*
*a devoted general.*
**[06:30] ---**
Where are those thieves? Damn it.
**[06:33] ---**
I can't see as well in the dark
at this age.
**[06:42] ---**
Silly…
**[06:44] ---**
I'm here for you.
**[06:48] ---**
Oh, it's you, Ichikawa!
**[06:51] ---**
*He's speaking to me casually?*
**[06:52] ---**
With you by my side,
**[06:54] ---**
we can kill all the thieves in the dark!
**[06:57] ---**
*I'm older and of a higher rank than him.*
**[06:59] ---**
*Why is he speaking to me so casually?*
**[07:05] ---**
I've hidden some horses
at the end of these woods.
**[07:07] ---**
We're almost there.
**[07:11] ---**
Okay, let's go.
**[07:14] ---**
*The bleeding isn't stopping.*
*He can't keep moving for much longer.*
**[07:27] ---**
What?
**[07:28] ---**
A thunderbolt?
**[07:30] ---**
He's back.
**[07:32] ---**
That's Sadamune's arrow.
**[07:35] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[07:36] ---**
The sound of his horse
is about one meter away.
**[07:39] ---**
In this pitch darkness,
he shouldn't be able to aim so accurately!
**[07:44] ---**
*We still have some time*
*until we reach our horses.*
**[07:46] ---**
*I can't outrun that arrow*
*with this kid with me.*
**[07:54] ---**
*This damn brat.*
**[07:57] ---**
Trust my ears and fire, Sadamune.
**[08:03] ---**
I've entombed many in darkness
with these hands.
**[08:07] ---**
Now, Sadamune.
**[08:09] ---**
Shall we start off
by shooting down that wounded brat?
**[08:12] ---**
Yes, Ichikawa.
**[08:13] ---**
Show my arrow the way
with your perfect hearing.
**[08:17] ---**
*If the obligation was invisible,*
*I could ignore it.*
**[08:20] ---**
*But an obligation I can see?*
**[08:23] ---**
*I have to repay it!*
**[08:28] ---**
Are you two old geezers having fun?
**[08:32] ---**
What a pain. But I'll take on both of you.
**[08:35] ---**
Hmm? That fox mask.
**[08:37] ---**
I've heard of it before.
**[08:39] ---**
You're Genba Kazama, that thief's brat.
**[08:42] ---**
Kazama?
**[08:43] ---**
Yes. His father was disgraced
as a warrior for using unfair tactics,
**[08:47] ---**
and so he was exiled from his clan.
**[08:50] ---**
Then, he fell to thievery.
**[08:52] ---**
Kazama is a branch
of the Suwa clan in Shinano…
**[08:57] ---**
You've come under Yorishige's order
to steal the Imperial Command, huh?
**[09:02] ---**
Imperial Command?
What are you talking about?
**[09:05] ---**
I just thought
I'd make fun of you soldiers.
**[09:18] ---**
Birds? I can't tell
where the sounds are coming from!
**[09:22] ---**
I don't know about killing,
but morphing I know a thing or two about!
**[09:25] ---**
And I won't stand losing
to you boring soldiers.
**[09:35] ---**
No!
**[09:37] ---**
Oh. Oh, no.
**[09:39] ---**
You try to bewilder me
with your excessive movement!
**[09:44] ---**
You underestimate me!
**[09:46] ---**
You can't dodge me from this distance!
**[09:52] ---**
Sadamune.
**[09:53] ---**
-What?
-What?
**[09:55] ---**
Take this!
**[09:59] ---**
He cut my bowstring! That's unfair!
**[10:01] ---**
Unfair?
**[10:07] ---**
My accomplice loves these tricks.
**[10:11] ---**
You can't appreciate them
because you're old,
**[10:15] ---**
like the old and dusty documents
in that warehouse.
**[10:19] ---**
So I told my accomplice, too…
**[10:24] ---**
Paper isn't something to steal.
**[10:27] ---**
It's more fun to burn.
**[10:39] ---**
Oh?
**[10:50] ---**
*The word "Shinobi" appears in one of*
*the oldest epics of Japan, the Taiheiki,*
**[10:54] ---**
*which records the events of this time.*
**[10:58] ---**
*"Bold and forthright" would begin to*
*disappear from the warrior's vocabulary.*
**[11:02] ---**
*Those who can infiltrate like spies with*
*subversive tactics began to be prized.*
**[11:09] ---**
*And thus, the ninja was born.*
**[11:15] ---**
He disappeared?
**[11:18] ---**
In the split second we were shocked
by the warehouse on fire!
**[11:21] ---**
Sadamune. Could the Imperial Command
still be in there?
**[11:26] ---**
We'll catch the wounded and make him
confess who the ringleader is!
**[11:29] ---**
This sound of hooves.
**[11:32] ---**
It's the two decoys running away!
**[11:41] ---**
I can't catch up from this distance.
**[11:44] ---**
That fox-masked brat tricked us all!
**[11:52] ---**
I saw the signal to come,
**[11:54] ---**
and look how our lord
is in such bad shape!
**[11:56] ---**
Hey, Genba!
Be more careful with the Young Lord!
**[12:00] ---**
Yeah, that's right!
**[12:02] ---**
No, you guys. It's all thanks to Genba
we're able to outrun those two.
**[12:06] ---**
It was fun.
**[12:08] ---**
I hope we get to play hide-and-seek again.
**[12:12] ---**
*My Genba.*
**[12:14] ---**
*If you find a lord you'd like to serve*
*even without turning a profit,*
**[12:20] ---**
*you should still take the money.*
**[12:22] ---**
*Even if you plan on serving*
*till the next life,*
**[12:24] ---**
*you should still take the money!*
**[12:32] ---**
Fine. If I can have one province.
**[12:35] ---**
I won't let you off the hook
if you don't pay.
**[12:38] ---**
If you cannot pay,
**[12:40] ---**
I'll track down your children,
**[12:42] ---**
your grandchildren,
and all your relatives.
**[12:47] ---**
That means you'll play tag
with my children too?
**[12:55] ---**
That's not what I'm saying!
**[12:57] ---**
I'm saying
you better take back the country!
**[13:00] ---**
So you're saying you'll play with us
after we take back the country?
**[13:03] ---**
Why are you like this?
**[13:05] ---**
Come on, Genba. Stop moving!
**[13:07] ---**
We're gonna collide!
**[13:13] ---**
Go home!
**[13:14] ---**
We won't clear out
if you don't have an Imperial Command.
**[13:18] ---**
I bet you brutes are lying
about the Imperial Command
**[13:21] ---**
so you can steal our land.
**[13:23] ---**
That's right! I won't listen to someone
without an Imperial Command!
**[13:27] ---**
If you're mad about it,
show me the Command!
**[13:34] ---**
Damn those Suwa citizens.
**[13:39] ---**
Fighting back uselessly. But I can get
another Imperial Command in a month!
**[13:43] ---**
Your eviction notice is simply extended!
**[13:45] ---**
There's bad news, my lord!
**[13:47] ---**
We can't take the Suwa land anymore.
**[13:51] ---**
What?
**[13:55] ---**
KYOTO
**[13:58] ---**
I took down the Kamakura shogunate.
**[14:02] ---**
I took down about 1,000 important
retainers of the Kamakura shogunate.
**[14:07] ---**
I commanded Takauji's rebellion.
**[14:10] ---**
It was horrible.
**[14:11] ---**
I had to fly back to the past with Buddha
and go on a journey.
**[14:15] ---**
The majority are seeking reward, and
lying about their achievements to get it.
**[14:18] ---**
It'll take years to determine
who's lying and who's telling the truth!
**[14:22] ---**
We'll never get to discuss
our official duty.
**[14:29] ---**
-What a pain!
-Sir!
**[14:32] ---**
The Emperor said, "What a pain!"
**[14:34] ---**
MAINTAIN STATUS QUO
**[14:36] ---**
"Territories other than Hojo's
will remain as is.
**[14:39] ---**
Suwa's will also remain undisputed."
**[14:44] ---**
-This is infuriating!
-Let's be patient.
**[14:46] ---**
Our chance will come, you know.
**[14:47] ---**
You!
**[14:51] ---**
*He is speaking to me casually?*
**[14:53] ---**
Suwa!
**[14:57] ---**
We did it!
**[14:59] ---**
We're safe!
**[15:00] ---**
Buying time really paid off.
**[15:03] ---**
If we had simply handed our territory over
to Ogasawara,
**[15:07] ---**
we'd never get it back.
**[15:10] ---**
I must thank you for saving our land
**[15:13] ---**
and also for securing a new,
dependable retainer.
**[15:18] ---**
I feel better knowing Genba's
on our side now.
**[15:21] ---**
-Though his personality is vulgar.
-Pour me more, pour me more!
**[15:28] ---**
With his tricks,
**[15:29] ---**
I could see him sneaking
into Takauji's sleeping quarters
**[15:32] ---**
and slicing his head off just like that.
**[15:36] ---**
That's impossible.
Takauji cannot be assassinated.
**[15:42] ---**
Here is a good opportunity, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[15:44] ---**
As I've said before,
you should know your enemy.
**[15:48] ---**
Takauji Ashikaga is someone
**[15:50] ---**
not even I can estimate.
**[16:07] ---**
I see you've finally moved with a few men.
**[16:09] ---**
EMPEROR GODAIGO'S SON
PRINCE MORIYOSHI
**[16:10] ---**
But this shall be your grave.
**[16:12] ---**
Your Highness,
**[16:14] ---**
I reverently celebrate
your appointment as shogun.
**[16:19] ---**
Your Highness,
**[16:20] ---**
why do you have to keep coming
for my life?
**[16:24] ---**
You are sure to betray
the Emperor one day.
**[16:27] ---**
I will stain my hands
for the sake of my father!
**[16:33] ---**
Protect the lord!
**[16:44] ---**
The lower-ranked soldiers
don't stand a chance.
**[16:47] ---**
Armed peasant thieves, monks,
and even rogue states.
**[16:51] ---**
Those that follow him are indeed varied.
His charisma draws people in.
**[16:55] ---**
Lord, allow me.
**[16:57] ---**
No, the prince is after only me.
**[17:00] ---**
If I speak to him one-on-one, I'm sure
we'll dissolve any misunderstandings.
**[17:04] ---**
Is that okay, brother?
**[17:07] ---**
It's no problem.
**[17:08] ---**
It's merely the Imperial shogun
and rogues.
**[17:12] ---**
Your Highness!
**[17:13] ---**
-It's Takauji!
-Kill him!
**[17:26] ---**
Please,
**[17:28] ---**
settle down.
**[17:37] ---**
Don't be intimidated! Go!
**[17:39] ---**
Oops.
**[17:43] ---**
There are many of you.
**[17:45] ---**
*Takauji Ashikaga.*
**[17:48] ---**
*My gut was right.*
**[17:51] ---**
*You're a monster who shouldn't be*
*allowed to walk the planes of this life.*
**[17:55] ---**
Oh, wait just a moment, Your Highness.
**[17:58] ---**
We'll be alone soon enough.
**[18:18] ---**
Right. That's done.
**[18:22] ---**
Please trust me, Your Highness.
**[18:26] ---**
I am loyal and devoted to the Emperor.
**[18:31] ---**
*I couldn't win*
*if it were just me against him.*
**[18:33] ---**
*But I'm not alone.*
**[18:36] ---**
*If we combine everyone's efforts together,*
*then one day…*
**[18:39] ---**
What's all this commotion?
**[18:41] ---**
His Highness has unsheathed his sword.
**[18:47] ---**
You guys. You came just in time.
**[18:50] ---**
Hurry, we need reinforcements--
**[18:51] ---**
It's Lord Takauji.
**[18:53] ---**
It's Lord Takauji!
**[18:54] ---**
It's Lord Takauji!
**[18:56] ---**
It's actually Lord Takauji!
**[19:00] ---**
Are you all right, my lord?
**[19:02] ---**
Are you hurt?
**[19:03] ---**
It's nothing too bad.
**[19:05] ---**
Oh, I'm glad.
**[19:06] ---**
Lord Takauji…
**[19:08] ---**
I'm worried. Let's examine you
in the government office.
**[19:12] ---**
My allies from yesterday…
Why are they over there?
**[19:19] ---**
My Emperor.
**[19:20] ---**
We cannot let that man in.
**[19:23] ---**
Something not human writhes within him.
**[19:27] ---**
Emperor!
**[19:29] ---**
Emperor!
**[19:36] ---**
Emperor!
**[19:40] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:43] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:45] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:46] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:49] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:51] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:54] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:56] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:57] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[19:59] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[20:00] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[20:03] ---**
*Lord Takauji.*
**[20:07] ---**
That happened in Kyo?
**[20:09] ---**
He has military might,
**[20:12] ---**
which makes it impossible
to assassinate him.
**[20:14] ---**
He's also got an otherworldly charm.
That's Takauji Ashikaga.
**[20:17] ---**
The person whose popularity
exceeds the Emperor's own son
**[20:21] ---**
is a different beast
from the Takauji Ashikaga you know.
**[20:27] ---**
Once again, Lord Tokiyuki,
**[20:29] ---**
are you prepared to face an opponent
who stands at the top of this world?
**[20:39] ---**
Young Lord!
**[20:44] ---**
Help me with Genba!
**[20:48] ---**
He's wasted
and touching shrine maidens' butts!
**[20:50] ---**
And to top it off,
he's jumping around the room…
**[20:54] ---**
-Swish, swish.
-People have drawn their swords
**[20:57] ---**
because he's jumping around saying
he's gonna sprinkle pee everywhere!
**[21:01] ---**
The story of the people at the top
**[21:02] ---**
just turned into a story
about the people at the bottom.
**[21:04] ---**
Shall we, my lord?
**[21:06] ---**
We have to discipline this rude fox.
**[21:10] ---**
Yes.
**[21:13] ---**
Mr. Yorishige.
**[21:15] ---**
You gave me allies.
**[21:16] ---**
You gave me a way to fight.
**[21:18] ---**
And you gave me self-confidence.
**[21:22] ---**
They may still be small,
but they're all treasures you gave me
**[21:24] ---**
that I'm proud of.
**[21:29] ---**
No matter how much stronger Takauji is,
I won't give up.
**[21:33] ---**
I'll collect more treasures
and try as many times as it takes!
**[21:39] ---**
Hey, Genba!
**[21:40] ---**
*Takauji and Tokiyuki.*
**[21:43] ---**
*An invincible lion,*
*and a rabbit not even on his radar.*
**[21:46] ---**
There! Get him!
**[21:48] ---**
-Oh! Yeah, yeah, that's it!
-Over there!
**[21:53] ---**
*The lion doesn't know yet*
**[21:57] ---**
*that a day will come*
**[21:59] ---**
*where he will fear the small rabbit.*
**[22:01] ---**
Fluff fluff, fluff fluff, fluff fluff,
fluff fluff.

YEAR OF 1334 - HALF A YEAR SINCE
THE SHOGUNATE WAS DESTROYED
**[00:02] ---**
TOKIYUKI HOJO, FIRST NEW YEAR
SINCE LIVING IN HIDING IN SUWA
**[00:07] ---**
Slowly. Slowly.
**[00:10] ---**
We're almost there, my lord.
**[00:15] ---**
Here we are.
**[00:19] ---**
Wow.
**[00:24] ---**
What do you think, my lord?
It's all frozen.
**[00:28] ---**
You can play anywhere on Lake Suwa
in the winter.
**[00:32] ---**
Amazing…
**[00:34] ---**
My lord!
**[00:37] ---**
Are you okay, my lord?
**[00:39] ---**
Young Lord, you okay?
**[00:49] ---**
Man. That scared me.
**[00:57] ---**
*It's been half a year since*
*the Kamakura shogunate was destroyed.*
**[01:00] ---**
*Tokiyuki ushered in his first new year*
*in Suwa.*
**[01:05] ---**
*Tumultuous times were put to rest*
*for the moment,*
**[01:10] ---**
-*but there were still small skirmishes.*
-Young Lord! You can do it! Go, go!
**[01:14] ---**
*Suwa's peace was bound*
*to be disrupted too.*
**[01:25] ---**
Here it comes.
**[01:27] ---**
That phase when I can't see the future.
**[01:33] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[02:55] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[03:02] ---**
SHINANO GOVERNOR'S RESIDENCE
**[03:04] ---**
I've obtained a new territory.
**[03:08] ---**
I need someone like you.
A man of great force, Shokan.
**[03:13] ---**
SHOKAN
**[03:14] ---**
I hear you were feared like a demon
because you were a scoundrel.
**[03:21] ---**
To say I'm a scoundrel
is taking it too far.
**[03:23] ---**
I've changed my ways.
**[03:26] ---**
Lord Sadamune, you are on the rise,
and so I have chosen to serve you.
**[03:30] ---**
I've been instructed
to take Suwa's territory piece by piece.
**[03:36] ---**
I'm the one for the job
**[03:40] ---**
because taking from others is
what I live for.
**[03:49] ---**
Is that all right, Sadamune?
**[03:53] ---**
KING
**[03:54] ---**
I need more strong men in our clan.
**[04:00] ---**
I can't win in these turbulent times
if I'm following warriors' codes.
**[04:08] ---**
Ogasawara is moving suspiciously
yet again.
**[04:11] ---**
Yes. The enemy seems to be spying on us
from the northern border.
**[04:16] ---**
KING
**[04:17] ---**
Send a scout!
**[04:20] ---**
The skilled scout has already
been sent elsewhere.
**[04:24] ---**
The situation on the western border
is precarious as well.
**[04:28] ---**
*I must hide this secret from everyone.*
**[04:30] ---**
*On rare occasions,*
*I suddenly lose my gift of prophecy.*
**[04:35] ---**
*This is bad. I hope there's no trouble*
*during a time like this.*
**[04:40] ---**
Um… What do you say the Elusive Warriors
go to scout out the area?
**[04:47] ---**
What?
**[04:50] ---**
Young Lord! You are so reliable!
**[04:52] ---**
Just as I would expect from
the future leader of this warrior family!
**[04:55] ---**
Please go, Young Lord!
**[04:57] ---**
-What? Wait.
-The Young Lord will be competent.
**[04:58] ---**
That's dangerous.
If anything were to happen,
**[05:01] ---**
-the Hojo bloodline could end.
-This is wonderful. Just as you'd expect!
**[05:03] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:05] ---**
No one will suspect children on their own,
**[05:08] ---**
and you know better than anyone
of my ability to run away.
**[05:11] ---**
-Yes.
-Yeah, but…
**[05:13] ---**
Excellent idea! Kojiro and Ayako, you have
experience scouting a number of times,
**[05:18] ---**
and the local civilians will be at peace
**[05:20] ---**
with the well-mannered Lord Tokiyuki
in tow.
**[05:22] ---**
Let's go with this plan, Lord Yorishige!
**[05:25] ---**
Lord Yorishige!
**[05:27] ---**
Lord Yorishige!
**[05:28] ---**
Lord Yorishige!
**[05:30] ---**
No. If bandits kill him on the way,
the bloodline will end.
**[05:34] ---**
Ayako and I can protect him from bandits.
**[05:37] ---**
The lord can also escape with an assist
from Genba's trickery.
**[05:40] ---**
You called?
**[05:41] ---**
Well, if he gets lost in the woods,
the bloodline will end.
**[05:45] ---**
These past six months, I went on several
long horse rides within Suwa territory.
**[05:50] ---**
I can make my way back from anywhere
in Suwa!
**[05:53] ---**
No. What if he eats a slug
on the roadside, and a parasite kills him?
**[05:57] ---**
MUMBLE MUMBLE
**[05:58] ---**
What if he passes by a sultry woman
and dies of a nosebleed?
**[06:04] ---**
What if he remembers
something embarrassing from the past
**[06:06] ---**
-and dies of shock?
-I want to die.
**[06:09] ---**
What is wrong with you?
**[06:11] ---**
There's something up with you today,
Mr. Yorishige.
**[06:13] ---**
You're usually calm
when you send me to dangerous places.
**[06:17] ---**
We're getting nowhere.
Can we go now, Lord Moritaka?
**[06:22] ---**
Yes. This is currently the best option.
**[06:26] ---**
Remember, the Young Lord's safety
is your top priority.
**[06:29] ---**
-You got it.
-Understood!
**[06:30] ---**
Hey, wait a second! Lord Tokiyuki
isn't actually a great escape artist!
**[06:34] ---**
He's just a big weirdo
who gets off on running away!
**[06:37] ---**
That's so rude!
**[06:42] ---**
Now, how should we prepare to scout?
**[06:45] ---**
We should pack lightly.
**[06:48] ---**
Food for two days and
some traveling expenses should be plenty.
**[06:51] ---**
I want to bring as much money as possible.
**[06:54] ---**
Let's trick Moritaka and swindle him.
**[06:57] ---**
Genba, you always say things like that.
**[07:01] ---**
We shouldn't use
rice and money excessively.
**[07:04] ---**
LORD TOKIYUKI
MUST TAKE
**[07:11] ---**
*Yorishige is staring.*
**[07:16] ---**
*He is staring with concern.*
**[07:20] ---**
Father!
**[07:22] ---**
You know.
**[07:24] ---**
If Lord Tokiyuki starves to death,
his bloodline will end…
**[07:29] ---**
Let's ignore him and go.
**[07:31] ---**
Yeah, let's hurry!
**[07:37] ---**
This should be enough to keep me warm.
**[07:40] ---**
Shizuku's special cotton-laid kimono
is warm, of course.
**[07:43] ---**
Just one layer is all I need.
**[07:46] ---**
Lighter clothing is less suspicious
and it makes it easier to run away.
**[07:52] ---**
CHARCOAL
**[07:53] ---**
What?
**[07:58] ---**
*Yorishige is staring.*
**[08:03] ---**
*He's staring like the owner…*
**[08:05] ---**
NAMASTE - OPEN
SERVING CHILLED BEER
**[08:07] ---**
*…of an empty curry restaurant.*
**[08:09] ---**
You're acting really weird today,
Mr. Yorishige!
**[08:12] ---**
Well, if you freeze to death
**[08:14] ---**
or if there are one million enemy soldiers
waiting for you, the bloodline, you know?
**[08:18] ---**
Bloodline, bloodline, bloodline.
**[08:22] ---**
Does he have an obsession with bloodlines?
**[08:25] ---**
Ugh.
**[08:27] ---**
What was all that about?
**[08:28] ---**
He gets like that sometimes.
**[08:32] ---**
Like what?
**[08:33] ---**
He starts to worry and becomes irritable.
**[08:36] ---**
*Who ate my mochi? Who?*
**[08:40] ---**
He would fatten up with just water.
Or he would eat only sour things.
**[08:44] ---**
Is he pregnant or what?
**[08:47] ---**
What in the world is he thinking?
**[08:50] ---**
Who knows.
**[08:53] ---**
-He's always pushing me around, but…
-Lord Tokiyuki! Be careful.
**[09:00] ---**
It makes me kinda happy
that he's seeing me off with such worry.
**[09:24] ---**
NAKAYAMA MANOR
(SUWA TERRITORY'S NORTHERN POINT)
**[09:27] ---**
We got here just before sunset.
**[09:30] ---**
It seems peaceful.
**[09:32] ---**
Let me go over our plan.
**[09:34] ---**
We are still in Suwa territory,
**[09:37] ---**
but we don't have much information about
our location since it's on the far edge.
**[09:40] ---**
So first, we'll gather information
as messengers of Suwa Grand Shrine.
**[09:44] ---**
Tomorrow,
we'll take a look around the village.
**[09:48] ---**
We'll see if it looks like enemies
will come, and if so, when and how many.
**[09:53] ---**
If the village ever needs to be protected,
we'll figure out how many soldiers
**[09:56] ---**
we'll need and report back…
**[10:14] ---**
What is this?
**[10:16] ---**
We're surrounded.
**[10:25] ---**
What's up with this village?
Has it already fallen to the enemy?
**[10:34] ---**
*He is a dual-wielder in his mid-teens.*
**[10:39] ---**
*When will the ones surrounding us*
*join the fight?*
**[10:58] ---**
*He's fast.*
**[10:59] ---**
*His swordsmanship is terrific*
*even at his young age.*
**[11:02] ---**
Hey, fighting is outside
my area of expertise.
**[11:06] ---**
Let's get out of here while we can, brat.
**[11:08] ---**
Those two can only buy time
if they're up against that dual-wielder.
**[11:14] ---**
*No, those two have gotten much stronger*
*since half a year ago!*
**[11:20] ---**
Even then, their speed and strength
**[11:22] ---**
are completely different
from when they were training with me!
**[11:26] ---**
That means…
**[11:27] ---**
Back then…
**[11:31] ---**
*You're doin' it, my lord!*
**[11:33] ---**
*You're winning one out of five times!*
**[11:38] ---**
*You'll regret it one day*
*if you're always underestimating me.*
**[11:42] ---**
*Wow.*
**[11:44] ---**
*If I keep training with you,*
*you'll surpass me.*
**[11:48] ---**
*I can't be too careless.*
**[11:51] ---**
*So, that means that other time, too?*
**[11:56] ---**
*Young Lord, you're good.*
**[11:58] ---**
*Our swords are locked*
*and you're pushing me.*
**[12:01] ---**
*It's because you've been training me.*
**[12:05] ---**
*By the time we're adults,*
*I might be the one protecting you.*
**[12:11] ---**
AWWWW
**[12:14] ---**
*I want to see a strong Young Lord soon.*
**[12:17] ---**
*There you go. One more push.*
*You got it. You got it.*
**[12:23] ---**
*They were both totally babying me.*
**[12:26] ---**
You should've known right then and there.
**[12:29] ---**
Kojiro. Ayako.
**[12:32] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki's elusiveness
is not always reliable.
**[12:36] ---**
Because of his peaceful personality,
he lets his guard down.
**[12:40] ---**
And there are
plenty of attacks he still can't avoid.
**[12:43] ---**
Enemy attacks from seasoned war veterans,
from those with unusual powers,
**[12:49] ---**
or from warriors
who try to surpass the limits of humanity.
**[12:52] ---**
Up against those monsters,
**[12:55] ---**
there's no guarantee
that Lord Tokiyuki can outrun them.
**[12:59] ---**
So the two of you
should not let your guard down,
**[13:01] ---**
and you should continue
to become stronger samurai.
**[13:04] ---**
So you can protect the lord's life
from any enemy.
**[13:13] ---**
*What brave and strongly devoted retainers.*
**[13:18] ---**
*If I also fight boldly, then one day…*
**[13:29] ---**
Could it be… Shizuku?
**[13:33] ---**
Did you forget?
You fed me in east Shinano once.
**[13:43] ---**
Fubuki?
**[13:45] ---**
Please excuse my rudeness.
**[13:47] ---**
I got the sense those two were beasts,
**[13:51] ---**
so I thought
they were enemy spies in disguise.
**[13:54] ---**
-What?
-What?
**[13:55] ---**
My name is Fubuki.
**[13:58] ---**
I wander the land
looking for a lord to serve.
**[14:02] ---**
So you're not from this village?
**[14:05] ---**
Correct. Three days ago,
I stopped by to request a meal,
**[14:11] ---**
but I saw fighters with Ogasawara's
standards had raided this area,
**[14:14] ---**
so I aided the locals.
**[14:22] ---**
Platoons of about the same size
came three times.
**[14:24] ---**
I managed to defeat them,
but my supplies were almost out.
**[14:27] ---**
I was in a pinch
since I didn't even have a horse
**[14:29] ---**
to communicate with the outside world.
**[14:32] ---**
You took down three platoons…
**[14:34] ---**
And the villagers are holding
torches, waiting and watching?
**[14:39] ---**
Letting a young outsider fight?
How cowardly.
**[14:43] ---**
Oh, don't think lowly of them.
**[14:46] ---**
When I got here,
all the adults were killed.
**[14:56] ---**
They're all young children?
**[14:59] ---**
You defeated the enemy three times
all on your own?
**[15:03] ---**
No,
**[15:04] ---**
-these ones come in handy in battle, too.
-*There they are!*
**[15:07] ---**
For example,
they distract the enemy with torches.
**[15:10] ---**
*Just you wait!*
**[15:12] ---**
And they dig pitfalls.
**[15:21] ---**
They shoot the enemy
while using straw men as bait.
**[15:25] ---**
Even young children can learn to fight
in many ways if only you teach them.
**[15:29] ---**
I've been accumulating knowledge
and polishing my skills.
**[15:32] ---**
I'm looking for a strong lord
who will put these skills to use.
**[15:36] ---**
Although, I think it suits me better
to find and develop talent in others.
**[15:42] ---**
If only I could find a lord
who is in need of instruction…
**[15:51] ---**
*How wonderful.*
**[15:54] ---**
HAND COMES OUT FROM THROAT
**[16:20] ---**
This village is the most vital location
for Suwa?
**[16:23] ---**
That's the first I've heard that.
**[16:27] ---**
It's just that no one's realized it yet.
**[16:30] ---**
The population of this village is small,
but it's a hard place to corner.
**[16:34] ---**
If there are a hundred guards,
it morphs into an invincible fort.
**[16:38] ---**
NAKAYAMA MANOR
**[16:39] ---**
If Ogasawara were to occupy it
and place an army,
**[16:41] ---**
then if he were to invade
from the borders,
**[16:43] ---**
he would have a great advantage.
**[16:46] ---**
ASADA MANOR - SUWA TERRITORY
OGASAWARA
**[16:47] ---**
He could perform a two-front attack
on Suwa's Asada Manor,
**[16:49] ---**
a bountiful and large settlement.
**[16:51] ---**
In the art of war, it's called
a two-pronged attack.
**[16:55] ---**
If this were to happen,
**[16:56] ---**
Suwa would lose
a large portion of its territory.
**[16:59] ---**
BUDDHA
**[17:00] ---**
It seems the one
who will command the Ogasawara army
**[17:04] ---**
fully understands this art of war.
**[17:07] ---**
I thought that by communicating
the military value of this village,
**[17:12] ---**
my reward for protecting it would be huge.
**[17:16] ---**
Putting that aside, you sure do eat a lot!
**[17:20] ---**
Also, don't use rice to plan strategy.
**[17:22] ---**
Fubuki, you ate the village supply of food
in three days.
**[17:27] ---**
What?
**[17:28] ---**
Yes. So I thought I've reached my limit
of protecting the village.
**[17:32] ---**
Here's the source of the village crisis.
**[17:35] ---**
Your eye for strategy is amazing,
**[17:37] ---**
but you can't calculate
how much food to eat.
**[17:41] ---**
I wonder if it's because it's cold.
**[17:43] ---**
I can't seem to warm up
no matter how much I eat.
**[17:46] ---**
Speaking of which, I remember
when I first met you, Fubuki.
**[17:54] ---**
You had snuck in
and eaten all the offerings.
**[18:00] ---**
I had convinced our god that
a bear had snuck in,
**[18:03] ---**
but it was troublesome.
**[18:04] ---**
He was crying from how hungry he was.
**[18:07] ---**
*I wanted to eat abalone.*
**[18:11] ---**
I'm really sorry about that time.
**[18:15] ---**
At any rate, I can't say no
to an empty stomach or to a small child.
**[18:20] ---**
I have no dignity.
**[18:30] ---**
Big Brother?
**[18:32] ---**
Well, I thought he was
a rather calm and collected tactician,
**[18:36] ---**
but he's surprisingly a clumsy person.
**[18:40] ---**
A tactician would only be concerned
with winning.
**[18:43] ---**
They wouldn't go through the trouble
of trying to protect a village
**[18:46] ---**
with only small children.
**[18:47] ---**
*He's the one that rallied the children and*
*empowered them to protect their village.*
**[18:51] ---**
*The children have just lost their parents,*
**[18:54] ---**
*but their eyes sparkle*
*with the will to fight.*
**[18:59] ---**
*I want his help to reclaim the throne!*
**[19:03] ---**
I also want Fubuki
to secretly teach me to fight
**[19:06] ---**
so that Kojiro and Ayako
will look at me with respect!
**[19:10] ---**
By the way, Big Brother.
**[19:12] ---**
-I'm wondering why Father…
-*The future.*
**[19:15] ---**
…was strangely worried.
**[19:16] ---**
*The future!*
**[19:17] ---**
He may not be able to see a future
where you are safe.
**[19:21] ---**
No matter how important this village is,
your life is too.
**[19:26] ---**
I suggest we abandon the village
for now and run away,
**[19:28] ---**
taking the children somewhere safe
in Suwa territory.
**[19:40] ---**
No. I want to protect the village too,
if I can help it.
**[19:43] ---**
It seems the children's parents
haven't had a proper burial yet.
**[19:48] ---**
It's a bit much for them to lose
their home and their parents all at once.
**[19:53] ---**
I want them to be able to stay here
while their hearts find peace.
**[19:59] ---**
Big Brother…
**[20:01] ---**
Fubuki.
**[20:06] ---**
Will you let us aid you with your battle?
**[20:18] ---**
I would be honored if you fought with us.
**[20:38] ---**
Sir, won't that Sadamune guy be mad
that we killed so many villagers?
**[20:49] ---**
He won't mind.
**[20:51] ---**
It would be wrong of him to expect
morality from a former scoundrel.
**[20:56] ---**
On top of that…
**[20:58] ---**
Namu Amida Butsu.
**[21:02] ---**
If you say that,
Buddha will forgive all your misdeeds.
**[21:08] ---**
Isn't that convenient?
**[21:12] ---**
Buddha is the best!
**[21:18] ---**
The Seigi Party is composed of
only the mightiest warriors,
**[21:20] ---**
so it only takes five of us
to destroy one village.
**[21:24] ---**
On three separate ambushes,
**[21:27] ---**
our warriors didn't return
from that settlement.
**[21:39] ---**
Help me!
**[21:52] ---**
It doesn't seem I can drink the fine sake
of plunder by being a thief.
**[21:59] ---**
Let's become warriors again and fight.
**[23:39] ---**
EPISODE 8 (YEAR OF 1334):
A WAR OF HIDE AND SEEK
**[23:39] ---**
Let's go!*

**[00:19] ---**
So that's our strategy.
**[00:25] ---**
Ayako and I will round up
the backup troops
**[00:28] ---**
from the village
at the foot of the mountain.
**[00:31] ---**
And Genba, you are to immediately return
**[00:33] ---**
to Suwa Grand Shrine
and request reinforcements.
**[00:38] ---**
I'm leaving the front lines!
I don't have to die.
**[00:41] ---**
This guy…
**[00:42] ---**
Kids, I want your help too.
**[00:44] ---**
I want to set as many traps as possible
before the enemy advances.
**[00:48] ---**
-Leave it to us.
-We'll need to gather materials too.
**[00:51] ---**
-When battle starts…
-First we should check the traps…
**[00:53] ---**
-…we'll safely relocate the children.
-Oh, yeah. We can reuse some of the traps.
**[00:56] ---**
-They'll need a guard. I can do it.
-So we'll use what we have already
**[00:59] ---**
and make the rest that we need?
**[01:01] ---**
Fubuki.
**[01:02] ---**
We'll need more traps this time,
so let's increase the amount.
**[01:05] ---**
Do you have a minute to spare?
**[01:28] ---**
I see.
**[01:29] ---**
Your elusiveness is splendid.
**[01:31] ---**
Now attack me!
**[01:41] ---**
FLAIL
**[01:44] ---**
Now I understand.
**[01:45] ---**
Your attacks are utter trash.
**[01:48] ---**
So you want me
to teach you a sword technique
**[01:51] ---**
that even someone like you
could use to kill an enemy.
**[01:55] ---**
It's really hurtful that you've summed
me up and finished your meal in one swing!
**[02:01] ---**
You're an excellent teacher.
**[02:04] ---**
The war council just now was
very easy to understand,
**[02:07] ---**
and you seem to know sword fighting well.
**[02:11] ---**
Please. I don't want to
just be protected all the time.
**[02:18] ---**
You said your name is Chojumaru.
**[02:21] ---**
Are you Shizuku's older brother?
**[02:25] ---**
That's more of a term of endearment.
**[02:29] ---**
The other retainers are fond of you,
and they're devoted to you too.
**[02:34] ---**
You must be
from an exceptionally noble family.
**[02:38] ---**
No. My parents were Suwa warriors,
but they passed in a fire.
**[02:42] ---**
I don't have any relatives,
so Suwa Grand Shrine took me in.
**[02:46] ---**
You see, I've never had
martial arts training or anything.
**[02:49] ---**
FLOP - WHIP - BING - BOUNCE
**[02:52] ---**
*He's an orphan.*
**[02:54] ---**
*Perhaps he empathizes with the children*
*because he experienced similar hardships.*
**[03:00] ---**
*He doesn't have much going for him*
*besides his elusiveness,*
**[03:02] ---**
*but his unexpected warmth in*
*these turbulent times is a strong weapon.*
**[03:07] ---**
There is something.
**[03:09] ---**
There's a secret sword technique
that suits you.
**[03:12] ---**
Are you serious?
**[03:15] ---**
I didn't think anyone could
intentionally pull off this technique,
**[03:20] ---**
but you will master it quickly.
**[03:23] ---**
I believe it is the kindest,
most compassionate,
**[03:28] ---**
yet cruelest technique.
**[03:31] ---**
DEMON-HEART BUDDHA BLADE
**[03:35] ---**
Let's call it
the Demon-heart Buddha Blade.
**[03:40] ---**
Demon-heart Buddha Blade?
**[03:43] ---**
However, this technique can
only be used in a one-on-one match.
**[03:49] ---**
Wait, that means…
**[03:51] ---**
I should…
**[03:52] ---**
No, this way is better…
**[03:55] ---**
MUMBLE MUMBLE
**[03:57] ---**
It's perfect.
**[03:59] ---**
-Chojumaru.
-Yes.
**[04:01] ---**
It looks like the enemy's main forces
might invade as soon as tomorrow.
**[04:06] ---**
As for you,
you'll fight the enemy general.
**[04:10] ---**
Understood!
**[04:11] ---**
With the reinforcements Shizuku will bring
**[04:15] ---**
and your elusiveness,
**[04:17] ---**
it's a heaven-sent chance at victory!
**[04:20] ---**
SQUISH
**[04:26] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[05:49] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[06:11] ---**
Right. We've surrounded them
on both fronts.
**[06:15] ---**
Sir. Why do we gotta invade
from the mountains
**[06:19] ---**
instead of goin' through the entrance?
**[06:25] ---**
The fact that our vanguard didn't
come back three separate times means
**[06:28] ---**
there are plenty of ambushes or traps
on the most accessible path.
**[06:35] ---**
An ambush on difficult terrain may be
more trouble, but it's more secure.
**[06:41] ---**
My boss is so smart!
**[06:44] ---**
BUDDHA
**[06:48] ---**
*The scoundrels causing a commotion*
*in this era were warriors who,*
**[06:51] ---**
*after losing their land, became bandits*
*and formed their own independent paradise.*
**[06:57] ---**
*Rich in combat experience,*
*their war tactics*
**[07:00] ---**
*and organizational capabilities*
*didn't compare to ordinary thieves.*
**[07:05] ---**
Put the mind and body
you've honed as a samurai to use,
**[07:09] ---**
and pillage mercilessly.
**[07:12] ---**
What a sweet feast for a scoundrel.
**[07:17] ---**
Kill the adults and enslave the children.
**[07:20] ---**
We shall taste the sweet sake of plunder.
**[07:23] ---**
Let's go.
**[07:29] ---**
What--
**[07:31] ---**
An ambush from the summit?
**[07:33] ---**
You bastards!
I'll climb up there and kill you!
**[07:36] ---**
Stop. That's what they want.
**[07:39] ---**
VILLAGE
**[07:40] ---**
They'll shoot us down while we reverse
the army and climb back up.
**[07:43] ---**
It's a strategic move to suppress the
enemy when completely outnumbered.
**[07:46] ---**
No matter. Advance forward.
**[07:48] ---**
With this strategy, they might as well
have admitted that they're outnumbered.
**[07:53] ---**
The enemy are few in number.
**[07:55] ---**
The battle is over
if we can just occupy the village.
**[07:59] ---**
Now…
**[08:02] ---**
It's time for war.
**[08:07] ---**
*Ice?*
**[08:08] ---**
*From a distance it just looks like*
*flatlands, but the whole field is frozen.*
**[08:14] ---**
*We dammed up the waterway and flooded*
*the outer edges of the village.*
**[08:18] ---**
*This winter is so extremely cold*
*that Lake Suwa froze over.*
**[08:21] ---**
*The ice trap is ready in just one night.*
**[08:24] ---**
What are you doing?
**[08:25] ---**
Hurry up!
**[08:27] ---**
It's not that easy!
**[08:33] ---**
The archers at the summit are descending!
**[08:34] ---**
This is bad.
They're sniping us off in a cross fire!
**[08:42] ---**
-There's your path. Go.
-Yes, sir!
**[08:51] ---**
Now a pitfall…
**[08:54] ---**
The traps just keep coming
one after the other.
**[08:56] ---**
*The children's traps are*
*also functioning according to plan.*
**[09:00] ---**
Damn thieves!
**[09:02] ---**
They dare desecrate the Suwa Sect's land
that Myojin has gifted.
**[09:06] ---**
*-The Suwa Warriors Shizuku gathered…*
-Fujimori, Komatsu!
**[09:08] ---**
*-…are few in number, but they're reliable.*
-The enemy is coming from the right!
**[09:11] ---**
Go around and be on the defense!
**[09:14] ---**
*We're able to stop the enemy attacks*
*from both sides, all according to plan.*
**[09:19] ---**
*It's not impossible*
*to wipe them out at this rate…*
**[09:22] ---**
*as long as they're*
*solely average soldiers.*
**[09:29] ---**
FURAN - SHIRO - BYAKKOTSU
SEIGI PARTY CORE MEMBERS
**[09:36] ---**
Don't bother with
your fellow men behind you.
**[09:39] ---**
The archers can't annihilate us
in the dark.
**[09:43] ---**
Rather, we can keep
the entire enemy army's attention on us.
**[09:46] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[09:50] ---**
First, we'll go kill the archers
that are guiding the opposing army.
**[09:54] ---**
Their entire defense will totally crumble
if they lose their leader.
**[09:58] ---**
I won't let you!
**[10:11] ---**
*They pass through the ice*
*and the pitfall traps*
**[10:14] ---**
*without panicking one bit,*
*and easily overwhelm the guards.*
**[10:18] ---**
*Those four are exceptionally strong.*
**[10:21] ---**
*Especially that man that can see*
*the entire state of the battle.*
**[10:25] ---**
*He must be the general.*
**[10:27] ---**
Hey, what should we do, Fubuki?
**[10:30] ---**
We have to stop those four.
**[10:32] ---**
No. You guys already have your hands full.
**[10:35] ---**
If we divide our forces,
the line of defense will collapse.
**[10:38] ---**
Then what shall we do?
**[10:40] ---**
Leave it…
**[10:44] ---**
to us children.
**[10:47] ---**
My eye!
**[10:51] ---**
*Let's get that bald general!*
**[10:54] ---**
*I'll stop his sword,*
*and you will deal the final blow!*
**[10:58] ---**
*No, that's a foolish strategy!*
**[11:09] ---**
You…
**[11:16] ---**
Oh, no, kids.
**[11:19] ---**
Is it your first time fighting
a warrior in full armor?
**[11:24] ---**
Shut up!
**[11:28] ---**
*An armored warrior's swordsmanship*
**[11:29] ---**
*is completely different from*
*what we'd expect in the present day.*
**[11:32] ---**
*This is because they can guard their face*
*with their helmet,*
**[11:35] ---**
*their torso with their breastplate,*
*and forearms with gauntlets.*
**[11:38] ---**
*The only body parts to vigilantly guard*
**[11:40] ---**
*are the slight openings*
*between their armor.*
**[11:42] ---**
Right here!
**[11:52] ---**
Are you done yet, kids?
**[11:55] ---**
Don't worry. I don't kill children.
**[12:00] ---**
All that we'll do is take
your teeth and tongue out nicely,
**[12:03] ---**
gently slice the tendon in your right leg,
and make you slaves.
**[12:08] ---**
I won't do anything other than that.
**[12:10] ---**
*This guy.*
**[12:12] ---**
*He's an irredeemable demon.*
**[12:19] ---**
Don't be scared!
**[12:20] ---**
You kids will be worth
a total of three kanmon.
**[12:23] ---**
You don't want to become three kanmon?
**[12:28] ---**
*Once you've gotten a sense of the enemy*
*general's swordsmanship, please run away.*
**[12:33] ---**
*If you think you can outsmart him,*
*lure him into that house.*
**[12:44] ---**
What's this?
**[13:12] ---**
My lord, we're leaving,
but you better not die!
**[13:15] ---**
Okay. Thank you.
**[13:21] ---**
I wonder if our lord will be okay
by himself.
**[13:24] ---**
Maybe the three of us should take him on.
**[13:27] ---**
Considering the current situation,
**[13:29] ---**
we don't have the luxury
of fighting three-on-one.
**[13:31] ---**
Plus, with the plan
that Fubuki has devised,
**[13:34] ---**
it'll be easier for the Young Lord
to defeat him on his own.
**[13:37] ---**
Everything Fubuki says
and does is convincing.
**[13:41] ---**
The battle is going
almost exactly as he predicted.
**[13:45] ---**
He's a great teacher,
and his swordsmanship is excellent too.
**[13:51] ---**
He's overflowing with talent.
**[13:55] ---**
That Fubuki.
**[14:00] ---**
I guess it's time
for me to join the fight.
**[14:05] ---**
Which one of you should I kill first?
**[14:08] ---**
Today's war is so fun.
**[14:41] ---**
Impressive! I've been trapped!
**[14:45] ---**
And all those traps outside the village…
**[14:47] ---**
Even Kusunoki would be thrilled
by this defense tactic!
**[14:51] ---**
Kusunoki?
**[14:52] ---**
By the way, two kanmon (boy),
**[14:53] ---**
you're not planning
on facing me by yourself, are you?
**[14:56] ---**
-What are you saying--
-Yes.
**[14:58] ---**
Your quality is higher
than the two kids from earlier.
**[15:02] ---**
You will fetch two kanmon on your own.
**[15:05] ---**
Wait. If I teach you a skill,
you could go up to three kanmon.
**[15:10] ---**
What is a cheap and easy trick I can teach
in a short amount of time?
**[15:14] ---**
*This man…*
**[15:15] ---**
*Even though he's been trapped,*
*it doesn't seem to bother him at all.*
**[15:19] ---**
*In fact, he's started to appraise me.*
**[15:25] ---**
I want to ask one thing.
**[15:28] ---**
Were you the one who gave the order
**[15:29] ---**
to slaughter the parents
of the village children?
**[15:32] ---**
Certainly, it was me.
**[15:33] ---**
Why would you do something so cruel?
**[15:36] ---**
Even slave-handling brutes spare
the mother, don't they?
**[15:42] ---**
That's a good question.
**[15:43] ---**
Four kanmon. (Boy.)
**[15:47] ---**
When I slaughter the parents,
I feel elated for that moment.
**[15:50] ---**
When I kill the parents and sell off
the kid, the elation lasts much longer.
**[15:56] ---**
These children have to suffer hell
for the rest of their lives.
**[15:59] ---**
The peace and freedom they enjoyed
under their parents will never return.
**[16:04] ---**
How I pity them.
**[16:06] ---**
A pitiful life of despair.
**[16:14] ---**
When I think about these things
as I sell kids off,
**[16:17] ---**
buy sake with that money and get drunk,
**[16:20] ---**
it slowly fills my heart with joy,
and I enjoy the most pleasant drunkenness.
**[16:29] ---**
I understand well.
**[16:31] ---**
You're a demon to the core.
**[16:34] ---**
I can kill you with no remorse.
**[16:37] ---**
It's a duel.
**[16:39] ---**
The winner takes the loser's future.
**[16:42] ---**
It's what you're good at, right?
**[16:46] ---**
You're a brave child.
**[16:48] ---**
What's your name?
**[16:49] ---**
I'm Chojumaru of Suwa Grand Shrine.
**[16:54] ---**
Chojumaru. (Boy.) (Four kanmon.)
**[16:57] ---**
You keep saying numbers.
**[17:01] ---**
Sorry, Chojumaru.
**[17:07] ---**
For this moment,
I will respect your bravery
**[17:10] ---**
and regard you as a warrior,
not a commodity.
**[17:16] ---**
What is your name?
**[17:18] ---**
I've changed my name many times,
but right now, I go by Shokan.
**[17:25] ---**
Surely it will be special…
**[17:30] ---**
The sake I'll buy
with the money I get for you!
**[17:33] ---**
NANBOKUCHO GAME OF TAG
**[17:34] ---**
DEMON OF DISBELIEF
SHOKAN THE HERETIC
**[17:38] ---**
Look here! This brat's got nothin' on us!
**[17:41] ---**
I can take him on by myself.
**[17:44] ---**
Hurry up and kill him
so we can find our boss.
**[17:55] ---**
Over here.
**[18:00] ---**
I guess the same trick won't work twice.
**[18:03] ---**
Pip-squeak. Where's our boss?
**[18:06] ---**
I saw him surrounded by our soldiers
and crying pathetically.
**[18:10] ---**
You could go see him if you beat us,
but I doubt you can.
**[18:20] ---**
You want people
to treat you like an adult?
**[18:23] ---**
You're ten years too early, brats.
Now die!
**[18:29] ---**
Reckless, so reckless.
You brats are too damn reckless!
**[18:32] ---**
My man Shiro is
the strongest in the Seigi Party!
**[18:39] ---**
Hey, where do you think you're going?
Are you gonna run away?
**[18:43] ---**
Chicken.
**[18:46] ---**
No, I realized something
while we were fighting.
**[18:50] ---**
It seems you don't want
your allies to see this,
**[18:52] ---**
so I thought we would go
somewhere more isolated.
**[18:54] ---**
What the hell are you talking about?
**[18:58] ---**
It's you, right?
**[19:00] ---**
The strongest person out of you thieves.
**[19:06] ---**
BUDDHA
**[19:26] ---**
You sure are good at evading, Chojumaru.
**[19:29] ---**
Want me to guess your strategy?
**[19:32] ---**
You're running around this cramped room,
hoping my sword will get stuck somewhere.
**[19:38] ---**
You underestimate me.
**[19:39] ---**
An indoor fight is a specialty
for thieves who invade homes.
**[19:43] ---**
I won't make a mistake as long as I switch
out my long sword for this short one.
**[19:48] ---**
All in all, nothing threatens
my heavy armor in this small room.
**[19:56] ---**
Plus, there's no room for you to run.
**[19:59] ---**
Your strategy is half-assed.
**[20:02] ---**
You've backed yourself
into a corner, Chojumaru!
**[20:09] ---**
If at some point
you don't think you can win,
**[20:11] ---**
knock over the fire
and escape through the ceiling.
**[20:14] ---**
With your agility,
you should be able to just reach it.
**[20:18] ---**
There's oil on the floor,
**[20:20] ---**
so you may be able
to burn him alive if luck is on our side.
**[20:23] ---**
But this is a backup plan.
**[20:25] ---**
The best scenario is if you could
defeat him with your own skills.
**[20:33] ---**
Can I really slay him?
**[20:36] ---**
It feels like the harder I try,
the weaker my swings become.
**[20:42] ---**
You're misunderstanding
how to use a sword.
**[20:47] ---**
Your weapon is your kindness.
**[20:51] ---**
You're better at running than fighting.
**[20:53] ---**
Better at pulling than pushing.
**[20:55] ---**
Better at defending rather than attacking.
**[20:58] ---**
Those skills are all
because of your kindness.
**[21:02] ---**
That kindness is ideal
for slaying a person.
**[21:07] ---**
Here, take the stance like I told you.
**[21:14] ---**
Are you praying to Buddha for help?
**[21:18] ---**
It's useless, useless!
**[21:20] ---**
Let me tell you a shocking fact.
**[21:23] ---**
There is no such thing as Buddha!
**[21:28] ---**
*There's no need*
*to grip your sword in hatred.*
**[21:31] ---**
*Instead, be like the bodhisattva*
*and handle it with compassion.*

**[00:02] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[01:25] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[01:33] ---**
The true way to use a real sword
is not by stabbing forcefully.
**[01:38] ---**
It's much like using
a kitchen knife or a saw.
**[01:44] ---**
The blade cuts the best when it is pulled.
**[01:49] ---**
To cut as you retreat.
**[01:51] ---**
Don't you think it's the best technique
for an elusive person like you?
**[01:55] ---**
But I couldn't take a life
with this method.
**[01:59] ---**
At most, I could cut hide or meat.
**[02:02] ---**
That's okay.
**[02:04] ---**
That's precisely what makes it
the Elusive Sword.
**[02:12] ---**
Your raised left hand
will serve as a guide.
**[02:15] ---**
Wait for the moment when your enemy's
blade passes between your hand and sword.
**[02:23] ---**
Here he comes!
**[02:25] ---**
*Twist my upper body counterclockwise.*
**[02:27] ---**
*Let the weight of the sword*
*do the work as I lower it.*
**[02:30] ---**
*Pull the blade to the right*
**[02:32] ---**
*and retreat!*
**[02:41] ---**
My inner forearm.
**[02:43] ---**
I don't have any armor here
because it's a difficult spot to aim for,
**[02:46] ---**
and it impedes my movement.
**[02:50] ---**
You know the weak points
of an armored warrior well.
**[02:54] ---**
But it's not a terrible weakness.
**[02:57] ---**
It'll take quite some time for me to lose
consciousness with just a bleeding wrist.
**[03:03] ---**
You think I won't kill you
before that happens?
**[03:10] ---**
In this small room!
**[03:15] ---**
I'll corner you slow and steady.
**[03:20] ---**
I can just take my time to tend
to my wound after I cut you into pieces.
**[03:34] ---**
*Why did I shiver just now?*
**[03:42] ---**
*He's a naginata expert.*
**[03:44] ---**
*He won't let me get a single blow in!*
**[03:57] ---**
You're light, small,
**[03:59] ---**
and lack experience!
**[04:09] ---**
You two will die here.
**[04:11] ---**
What a shame.
**[04:13] ---**
In ten years, you probably would have
become a skilled master.
**[04:17] ---**
If that were the case,
you could have known many pleasures.
**[04:21] ---**
The sophisticated pleasure of using your
body and strength to kick about the weak,
**[04:26] ---**
the pleasure of stealing,
the pleasure of taking a woman…
**[04:31] ---**
That's what my boss taught me
when he took me under his wing.
**[04:36] ---**
Something your virtuous leader
Yorishige Suwa can't do.
**[04:45] ---**
Lord Yorishige isn't…
**[04:47] ---**
Huh?
**[04:49] ---**
…our lord now.
**[04:52] ---**
Is that so?
**[04:53] ---**
Regardless of who you serve,
it's all the same.
**[04:55] ---**
Your lord is clueless.
**[04:58] ---**
They couldn't even teach you brats
about any fulfilling pleasures
**[05:00] ---**
and left you to die
for this worthless village.
**[05:07] ---**
So you shut up.
**[05:08] ---**
Am I spot-on?
**[05:10] ---**
Yeah, it's true.
**[05:12] ---**
Our lord is soft, naive,
and tends to run away.
**[05:19] ---**
But compared to you who has grown fat
by sacrificing the weak, my Big Brother,
**[05:24] ---**
who commands us to protect the weak,
has much more integrity as a warrior.
**[05:31] ---**
You're still here?
**[05:33] ---**
Resisting with a brat's toy
like the trash you are!
**[05:38] ---**
Persistent brat.
**[05:39] ---**
There's no way a mere child can penetrate
the defense of a grown man's naginata.
**[05:48] ---**
Stop calling me
**[05:51] ---**
a brat!
**[05:57] ---**
I can't be so carefree
to be thinking about the far future.
**[06:01] ---**
*We have a year and a half*
*until Lord Yorishige's prophecy.*
**[06:05] ---**
*We won't be useful*
*in the Young Lord's great war*
**[06:09] ---**
*if we can't beat adults while we're ten.*
**[06:12] ---**
What…
**[06:19] ---**
I can't believe I'm being defeated
by some nameless brats.
**[06:24] ---**
Go be with the demons in hell.
**[06:27] ---**
Our lord is Tokiyuki Hojo.
**[06:30] ---**
What?
**[06:31] ---**
Kamakura's…
**[06:35] ---**
rightful heir!
**[06:41] ---**
*There's no way!*
**[07:00] ---**
*I can't hit him!*
**[07:12] ---**
*This is bad.*
**[07:13] ---**
*I have to stop the bleeding.*
**[07:43] ---**
*He's not only evading my sword,*
*but also my splattering blood?*
**[07:48] ---**
*Is he a monster?*
**[07:59] ---**
*A transforming swordsmanship!*
**[08:07] ---**
It's rare to see one wield a blade
with such precision.
**[08:11] ---**
There must be someone
who taught you those techniques.
**[08:14] ---**
Who is your teacher?
**[08:16] ---**
I don't have to tell you.
**[08:19] ---**
A skilled hawk hides everything.
**[08:22] ---**
If you show your strength
within an organization,
**[08:26] ---**
you'll be taken advantage of
like the small fry and the core members.
**[08:31] ---**
Act like a clown and pander to the leader,
**[08:34] ---**
and you can be sure to enjoy
just the benefits.
**[08:37] ---**
BUDDHA
**[08:38] ---**
There is just one brief moment
when I have to use my sharpened talons.
**[08:41] ---**
The moment when I kill anyone
that recognizes them.
**[08:45] ---**
Or when I kill our boss
and take over this party.
**[08:49] ---**
To hide yourself is an art of survival
in times of chaos!
**[08:53] ---**
Now die and shut up!
**[09:01] ---**
*To hide… huh.*
**[09:04] ---**
Die!
**[09:08] ---**
*There's an ordinary blade*
*that comes straight,*
**[09:10] ---**
*and a unique blade*
*in which one bends their wrist.*
**[09:13] ---**
*If you hide it well, your opponent won't*
*know which is coming until it's too late.*
**[09:18] ---**
*But with him, the height of his elbow is*
**[09:20] ---**
*slightly different*
*from the moment he pulls back his blade.*
**[09:23] ---**
*Which means he's not*
*sufficiently hiding his technique.*
**[09:28] ---**
W-What?
**[09:34] ---**
That would be a formidable sword skill
if you could hide it completely,
**[09:37] ---**
but you don't understand how it works.
**[09:43] ---**
You're not hiding anything special
as I thought.
**[09:47] ---**
I'm disappointed.
**[09:58] ---**
*He wields two swords*
*and is skilled in martial arts, too.*
**[10:02] ---**
*What else is this kid hiding?*
**[10:08] ---**
*Occupying this village and*
*the children's tactics are both valuable.*
**[10:15] ---**
*When I find a hidden treasure,*
**[10:18] ---**
*my forlorn body*
*is slightly brought back to life.*
**[10:25] ---**
*I'm drawn to him for some reason.*
**[10:28] ---**
*Because he's hiding something magnificent.*
**[10:42] ---**
All right. That's enough from you.
**[10:52] ---**
*Now.*
**[10:53] ---**
*How is it going, Chojumaru?*
**[11:24] ---**
*This is hopeless.*
**[11:26] ---**
*I'm going to die.*
**[11:28] ---**
*I'll lose too much blood*
*before I kill this kid.*
**[11:32] ---**
*It's useless. I'm fading.*
**[11:35] ---**
*My life ends here?*
**[11:40] ---**
Father!
**[11:42] ---**
What do you mean
there's no territory for me to inherit?
**[11:47] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[11:49] ---**
The family has distributed the land
amongst the sons
**[11:54] ---**
over generations until
only this small plot remains.
**[11:58] ---**
From now on, like all the other families,
**[12:00] ---**
we'll give all our territory
to the eldest son.
**[12:03] ---**
You live here and help out
your older brother.
**[12:08] ---**
You're telling me
to become my brother's servant!
**[12:23] ---**
*I've been studying martial arts*
*and the art of war*
**[12:26] ---**
*so that I can protect my own territory!*
**[12:30] ---**
*A warrior without a territory*
*is not a warrior at all.*
**[12:43] ---**
*If I wanted a place of my own,*
*I had no choice but to steal it.*
**[12:54] ---**
*It was hell from then on.*
**[12:58] ---**
*Somewhere along the way,*
*it became pleasurable to take from others.*
**[13:01] ---**
*I sold children.*
**[13:03] ---**
*I felt better about myself by sending them*
*to futures as dark as my own.*
**[13:08] ---**
*Though I was pursued,*
*I had nowhere to rest.*
**[13:11] ---**
*I thought I could reverse my fate*
*when I was recruited into a large battle.*
**[13:15] ---**
*But I was unable to*
*make a name for myself,*
**[13:17] ---**
*for I was on the losing side.*
**[13:24] ---**
Your life is always hell, isn't it?
**[13:28] ---**
You should flee somewhere
where no one can chase you.
**[13:32] ---**
There must be a place
where the light shines.
**[13:38] ---**
*Don't lie, Kusunoki.*
**[13:42] ---**
*There's no light anywhere.*
**[13:50] ---**
*What's this?*
**[13:52] ---**
*Something shines before me.*
**[14:07] ---**
*I can't win.*
**[14:10] ---**
*Someone who can laugh so purely*
*in this hellhole cannot be human.*
**[14:18] ---**
*He's even smiling upon someone like me?*
**[14:24] ---**
*My Buddha…*
**[14:38] ---**
*What started as a blade*
*of compassion had become*
**[14:41] ---**
*hell on earth*
*by the time the fight was over.*
**[14:47] ---**
*Is it a demon or a buddha that grants*
**[14:51] ---**
*the scoundrel of times of chaos*
*the death penalty?*
**[14:57] ---**
*Demon-heart Buddha Blade.*
**[15:04] ---**
You're amazing, Young Lord.
**[15:06] ---**
The two of us barely stood a chance
against that monster.
**[15:10] ---**
It's all thanks
to the technique Fubuki taught me.
**[15:13] ---**
You're right.
**[15:14] ---**
Who would have thought
that it would be possible to defeat him
**[15:16] ---**
by simply cutting his inner forearm
and running from him?
**[15:18] ---**
The Cowardly Sword is impressive!
**[15:20] ---**
Don't call it that!
**[15:22] ---**
The enemies that remain should run away
**[15:24] ---**
when we spread the word
that their general is dead.
**[15:26] ---**
We're almost done…
**[15:33] ---**
Are you serious?
**[15:34] ---**
Sadamune's here!
**[15:37] ---**
You again, brat?
**[15:43] ---**
"You again"? That's our line!
**[15:46] ---**
You're the one invading others' territory!
**[15:48] ---**
Shut up! These are the times we live in!
**[15:50] ---**
Your eye… I want to feed it to a snake
and watch it swallow it whole.
**[15:54] ---**
-What's wrong with you?
-What's wrong with you?
**[15:56] ---**
Big-Eyed Monster, you're so persistent.
**[15:58] ---**
Don't call me a monster!
**[16:00] ---**
You basically are a monster
with those eyes!
**[16:02] ---**
What did you say about my godly eyes?
**[16:03] ---**
*Leave it to Sadamune Ogasawara*
*to bring his reinforcements at this timing*
**[16:06] ---**
*from the village's front entrance.*
*He's got a keen perception of this war.*
**[16:11] ---**
*Our other allies are busy handling*
*the enemies that are already here.*
**[16:15] ---**
*We can't win like this.*
**[16:17] ---**
SOUTH
**[16:18] ---**
*There are no enemies*
*on the south end of this village.*
**[16:20] ---**
*We can gather our allies*
*and all escape from there…*
**[16:25] ---**
What?
**[16:27] ---**
Enemy forces from the south, too?
**[16:29] ---**
Nope.
**[16:32] ---**
Here we go!
**[16:36] ---**
That fire!
**[16:40] ---**
Yes, they're reinforcements
from Suwa Grand Shrine.
**[16:44] ---**
They made it just in time.
**[16:46] ---**
Drat!
**[16:48] ---**
Retreat!
**[16:49] ---**
Only gather Shokan's soldiers
that are fighting nearby.
**[16:52] ---**
B-But, Sadamune…
**[16:54] ---**
We lack the preparation
to fight against Suwa's main army.
**[17:04] ---**
*The war is happening outside, but there's*
*blood on the inside of the door?*
**[17:08] ---**
Lord Yorishige, Sadamune
and his presumed army are evacuating!
**[17:13] ---**
Chase them away to the border.
**[17:15] ---**
Tokitsugu, clean up the bandits
around the village.
**[17:17] ---**
YORISHIGE'S SON
TOKITSUGU SUWA
**[17:18] ---**
Okay.
**[17:21] ---**
-They're getting away.
-Hi.
**[17:23] ---**
Genba!
**[17:24] ---**
You better be grateful.
**[17:26] ---**
We made it in time
because I rode the horse at full speed.
**[17:30] ---**
Well, when I saw
a curvy woman on the road,
**[17:34] ---**
I was shocked because
my nose started bleeding profusely.
**[17:37] ---**
I thought I was a goner.
**[17:38] ---**
Don't die!
**[17:40] ---**
-What about over there?
-There's no one.
**[17:42] ---**
-The enemy's over there.
-Right.
**[17:44] ---**
None here. Find them!
**[17:49] ---**
Mr. Yorishige.
**[17:56] ---**
I'm glad you're safe.
**[18:00] ---**
Yes.
**[18:04] ---**
That kinda hurts, Mr. Yorishige.
**[18:20] ---**
Sadamune. Shokan is…
**[18:22] ---**
He's got dumb luck.
**[18:25] ---**
He would've croaked if we stopped
the bleeding just a little bit later.
**[18:29] ---**
Why did you come for me?
**[18:33] ---**
We received word that you and your men
were wasting time committing a massacre.
**[18:37] ---**
Suwa's response isn't so stupid as
to let such an opportunity go unnoticed.
**[18:43] ---**
Who said to kill the villagers?
**[18:45] ---**
You don't get any taxes
from an uninhabited territory.
**[18:48] ---**
You idiot.
**[18:51] ---**
Punish me as you wish.
**[18:53] ---**
However, your strategic insight
this time was incredible.
**[18:59] ---**
I will give you a small territory,
so sharpen your fangs there.
**[19:03] ---**
Prepare for the decisive battle
against Suwa that will eventually come.
**[19:07] ---**
From this day forward,
you are prohibited from being a bandit.
**[19:10] ---**
Serve me only as a soldier.
**[19:26] ---**
Certainly.
**[19:28] ---**
*I can tell his will to be a bandit*
*is gone from his eyes.*
**[19:31] ---**
*Did malice leave his body*
*along with the blood?*
**[19:36] ---**
*From then on,*
*rogues gradually fell under the control*
**[19:39] ---**
*of the increasingly powerful governing*
*feudal lords and eventually disappeared.*
**[19:45] ---**
*This era was the final stage*
**[19:50] ---**
*where the uninhibited*
*bandit samurai thrived.*
**[19:54] ---**
There.
**[19:56] ---**
There we go.
**[19:59] ---**
Mr. Yorishige.
**[20:01] ---**
It's all thanks to Fubuki
that the village and I survived.
**[20:06] ---**
Please pay him a special sum
from Suwa Grand Shrine.
**[20:11] ---**
Oh, is that so?
**[20:13] ---**
Of course, we will pay him handsomely!
**[20:16] ---**
And one more thing.
**[20:17] ---**
I want Fubuki to join my party
as a retainer.
**[20:20] ---**
Splendid idea!
**[20:22] ---**
Wait, Chojumaru.
**[20:25] ---**
I want to be your friend, but becoming
a retainer is a different story.
**[20:28] ---**
I want to serve a lord
that can lead the country.
**[20:32] ---**
I would consider it
if I were to serve your Lord Suwa…
**[20:36] ---**
This one
**[20:39] ---**
is the lord.
**[20:42] ---**
This one.
**[20:44] ---**
My name is Tokiyuki Hojo.
**[20:46] ---**
I'm the orphan of the regent
to the Kamakura shogunate, Takatoki Hojo.
**[20:49] ---**
I am more or less on an endeavor
to lead the country.
**[20:53] ---**
What?
**[20:57] ---**
Sorry I hid it from you.
**[20:58] ---**
I had decided
to not share my true identity
**[21:01] ---**
until I had talked to Mr. Yorishige.
**[21:03] ---**
*I thought he was hiding*
*something huge, but…*
**[21:09] ---**
*This secret is too big!*
**[21:12] ---**
*As a commoner,*
*he's just a kind, elusive boy.*
**[21:16] ---**
*But when you add the fact*
*that he is a Hojo child…*
**[21:20] ---**
*All of his skills*
*become formidable weapons!*
**[21:27] ---**
*This is invigorating.*
**[21:32] ---**
My millet fee will be expensive.
**[21:35] ---**
If that's okay, then I will serve you.
**[21:46] ---**
*I will draw out*
*all the strength this prince possesses*
**[21:49] ---**
*and join his attempt to win the country.*
**[21:52] ---**
At Suwa Grand Shrine, we're allowed to
eat rice instead of millet.
**[21:56] ---**
For real? It must be paradise?
**[21:59] ---**
I can't tell
if this guy is smart or clueless.

NARRATOR: YORISHIGE SUWA
**[00:44] ---**
*I hear that it's called "going viral"*
*in the future, but for now, I will take*
**[00:50] ---**
*a moment to pause and reflect on*
*our journey with Lord Tokiyuki thus far.*
**[00:55] ---**
I, Yorishige Suwa, who is gifted
with divine power, will serve as a guide.
**[01:01] ---**
Buckle up, for this is
**[01:03] ---**
only the beginning
of this next "must-watch episode."
**[01:10] ---**
*The year is 1333 in Kamakura.*
**[01:14] ---**
YEAR OF 1333 - KAMAKURA
WAKAMIYAOJI SHOGUNATE SITE
**[01:16] ---**
It is time for archery practice.
**[01:19] ---**
You can't run away anymore, Lord Tokiyuki!
**[01:24] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[01:29] ---**
How nimble!
**[01:31] ---**
Fool! It's not the time to be impressed.
**[01:35] ---**
*The main character*
*of our story is this individual,*
**[01:39] ---**
*Lord Tokiyuki Hojo, the rightful heir*
*to the Kamakura shogunate.*
**[01:45] ---**
You'll slip and fall, Lord Tokiyuki!
**[01:48] ---**
Please come down.
**[01:50] ---**
You don't want to get hurt!
**[01:53] ---**
Someone stop him!
**[01:56] ---**
Excuse me, will you let me through?
**[01:58] ---**
As always, you're a masterful player
of hide-and-seek, Young Lord.
**[02:02] ---**
GUARDIAN OF THE SHOGUNATE
**[02:03] ---**
*Enter Takauji Ashikaga,*
*the great hero of the shogunate.*
**[02:06] ---**
I depart today for Kyo to quell
the former Emperor Godaigo's uprising.
**[02:12] ---**
I wish to prove my allegiance to you,
our future leader, and the Hojo clan.
**[02:17] ---**
I-- I put my trust in you.
**[02:20] ---**
I pray the gods be with us
**[02:22] ---**
and may they bestow prosperity
to Kamakura and the warrior families.
**[02:27] ---**
He's nowhere to be found.
**[02:29] ---**
We're powerless once the Young Lord starts
taking hiding seriously.
**[02:32] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki!
**[02:42] ---**
I like this Kamakura.
**[02:46] ---**
And I like to see its people smile
as they live in peace.
**[02:50] ---**
I don't need status or honor.
**[02:53] ---**
Just living in this city is enough for me.
**[02:57] ---**
Lazy, cowardly.
**[02:59] ---**
Sure, that's fine.
**[03:01] ---**
Why would a mere puppet like me need
the power of pen and sword?
**[03:08] ---**
You are not lazy, nor are you a coward.
**[03:13] ---**
Those are merely aspects
of the monster asleep within you.
**[03:18] ---**
That is what Father says.
**[03:21] ---**
Who are you?
**[03:22] ---**
"Father"?
**[03:24] ---**
You're quite the elusive boy,
just as I've heard.
**[03:27] ---**
What? Who's this? What's going on?
**[03:31] ---**
YORISHIGE SUWA
**[03:32] ---**
HIGH PRIEST OF SHINANO
AND SUWA GRAND SHRINE
**[03:34] ---**
Honored to make your acquaintance.
I am a Shinto priest of Shinano Province.
**[03:37] ---**
Yorishige Suwa.
**[03:38] ---**
A Shinto priest from Shinano?
**[03:40] ---**
Wait, since when did you climb up here?
**[03:42] ---**
I've been up here all along.
**[03:44] ---**
I foresaw a future
where you'd climb this tree.
**[03:48] ---**
You've got this incredible sort
of aura around your head.
**[03:51] ---**
Excuse me if it's blinding!
**[03:53] ---**
I was born
with an innate sacred holy power,
**[03:55] ---**
and I just can't stop the flow sometimes!
**[03:58] ---**
I'll dim it down.
**[04:00] ---**
*What a suspicious man.*
*How did he know I'd be up here?*
**[04:00] ---**
*My first impression*
*must have been bad,*
**[04:05] ---**
Father has the gift
to see into the future.
**[04:05] ---**
*but since I have visions,*
**[04:07] ---**
His prayers, on the other hand,
are a sham.
**[04:07] ---**
*I couldn't*
*not tell Lord Tokiyuki about them.*
**[04:10] ---**
Shizuku, you didn't have
to say that last part.
**[04:12] ---**
When you're ten years old, you will become
**[04:14] ---**
a hero to shake
the very foundations of heaven.
**[04:17] ---**
You will be a lord of war.
**[04:19] ---**
Some will cower in fear.
Others will worship you.
**[04:22] ---**
You will even change
the fate of the country.
**[04:25] ---**
This is all I can foretell.
**[04:27] ---**
You see, this is a very powerful…
**[04:30] ---**
He's the size of a bean!
**[04:32] ---**
Father, you revealed too much at once.
**[04:35] ---**
What a finely-attuned instinct
for detecting danger.
**[04:39] ---**
But I think I know
what this Mr. Yorishige meant.
**[04:44] ---**
TOKIYUKI'S HALF BROTHER
KUNITOKI HOJO
**[04:45] ---**
Your knack for elusiveness is nothing
**[04:47] ---**
-like mine or Father's.
-What?
**[04:50] ---**
You'd definitely be a hero
if the right opportunity arose.
**[04:55] ---**
I have a gut feeling.
**[04:57] ---**
Oh… Huh?
**[05:00] ---**
*The Kamakura shogunate had reached*
*the height of prosperity,*
**[05:03] ---**
*but it crumbled in a matter of seconds.*
**[05:11] ---**
We will now raid Kyo
and suppress the uprising.
**[05:15] ---**
May we have
the God of War's divine protection!
**[05:20] ---**
Let's go!
**[05:35] ---**
Viceroy. Viceroy! I bring news.
**[05:39] ---**
Ashikaga had been secretly communicating
with Emperor Godaigo.
**[05:42] ---**
Our army in Kyo has been annihilated!
**[05:45] ---**
And they're sending
the army towards Kamakura.
**[05:51] ---**
FOR THE BOY TO BECOME A HERO…
**[05:55] ---**
HE HAD TO LOSE EVERYTHING
**[05:57] ---**
Damn you…
**[05:59] ---**
Why have you betrayed us--
**[06:04] ---**
I hear a voice.
**[06:06] ---**
Who speaks to me?
**[06:08] ---**
Who is it that guides me
to be ruler above all?
**[06:14] ---**
24 days since Takauji raised his army…
**[06:15] ---**
ABOUT 800 PEOPLE
OF THE HOJO CLAN,
**[06:17] ---**
INCLUDING RETAINERS,
COMMITTED SUICIDE
**[06:18] ---**
Father…
**[06:21] ---**
…the Kamakura shogunate lay in ruins.
**[06:24] ---**
We've been waiting for you, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[06:29] ---**
In his last moments, your father commanded
me to help you escape.
**[06:34] ---**
He regrets
such young life not seeing its days.
**[06:37] ---**
I will shelter you in my territory
of Suwa in Shinano.
**[06:44] ---**
It's hell on earth.
**[06:46] ---**
Kamakura is being completely destroyed
by the traitorous samurai.
**[06:53] ---**
Lord Takauji…
**[07:02] ---**
Who are you?
**[07:04] ---**
I'm a vassal from Shimotsuke.
**[07:06] ---**
Takauji Ashikaga.
**[07:09] ---**
Young Lord, you can't run from Takauji!
**[07:15] ---**
Even for Yoritomo Minamoto, it took
five years to defeat the Heike clan.
**[07:20] ---**
Was there a man before Ashikaga who
destroyed an entire country in 24 days?
**[07:26] ---**
The other day, you spouted nonsense
that I would become a hero,
**[07:32] ---**
but future generations will
only apply that word
**[07:35] ---**
to someone strong like Takauji Ashikaga.
**[07:38] ---**
So let me die like an honorable samurai,
like my people did.
**[07:44] ---**
Very well.
**[07:45] ---**
Then die.
**[08:07] ---**
It's the Hojo child!
**[08:36] ---**
When you're in the depths of despair,
and thrown into the abyss of death…
**[08:44] ---**
Hey.
**[08:54] ---**
…that is where the hero within you shines!
**[09:01] ---**
Hey!
**[09:02] ---**
I could have died.
**[09:05] ---**
You said it would be a disgrace
if you didn't die,
**[09:07] ---**
yet you jumped out of there
to save your skin.
**[09:11] ---**
That was the hero in you.
**[09:14] ---**
Running and hiding are good skills
for a hero.
**[09:18] ---**
Above! Shoot to kill!
**[09:26] ---**
What a pain for Takauji who just
killed our lord and took a whole country.
**[09:33] ---**
Because the one
he should definitely kill next,
**[09:35] ---**
the one who will inherit
the Kamakura shogunate,
**[09:37] ---**
has more talent than anyone
to escape death.
**[09:40] ---**
Takauji becomes a hero by killing,
and you become a hero by living.
**[09:47] ---**
You two are heroes with opposed fates.
**[09:52] ---**
Allies, military strength, intellect…
**[09:54] ---**
Everything you need to win,
I will give to you.
**[09:58] ---**
As long as you're breathing, Takauji will
eventually come to kill you himself.
**[10:06] ---**
Till then, you'll run and hide,
become stronger,
**[10:09] ---**
and defeat the demons that come for you.
**[10:12] ---**
Now, it's time to start the game of tag
to reclaim the throne.
**[10:31] ---**
WHAT ARE "RETAINERS"?
**[10:32] ---**
Retainers.
**[10:33] ---**
Retainers are vassals that form
a master-and-servant relationship
**[10:36] ---**
with their potent military commander.
**[10:38] ---**
And they risk
their lives fighting for him.
**[10:40] ---**
Because you've lost your close family and
retainers, you must rebuild from nothing.
**[10:47] ---**
Allow me to introduce them again!
**[10:51] ---**
KOJIRO
**[10:52] ---**
Kojiro is the greatest swordsman
of your generation.
**[10:56] ---**
And one day he will lead
as your military commander.
**[10:59] ---**
Sup, Young Lord.
**[11:01] ---**
Ayako has unrivaled physical strength
and is brimming with artistic talent.
**[11:05] ---**
She remains a lady even in battle.
**[11:07] ---**
Young Lord!
**[11:10] ---**
Shizuku is attentive
and versed in several secret arts.
**[11:15] ---**
As a servant, she takes care
of the general affairs at home.
**[11:20] ---**
These three are your age,
but I know you can count on them.
**[11:26] ---**
THE ELUSIVE WARRIORS
**[11:27] ---**
*This is how The Elusive Warriors,*
**[11:29] ---**
*a Hojo family party*
*born in Suwa, gained its name.*
**[11:33] ---**
Because we are warriors
for an elusive lord!
**[11:40] ---**
Let's all grow strong
together in this land!
**[11:47] ---**
*Meanwhile…*
**[11:50] ---**
Lord Takauji, thank you for
recommending me as governor of Shinano.
**[11:56] ---**
Of course. You deserve the reward.
**[11:59] ---**
You were first to betray the Hojo
and fought as my retainer.
**[12:04] ---**
However, your province Shinano has Hojo's
top retainer, Mr. Suwa, going strong.
**[12:10] ---**
Hojo's survivors are
definitely taking refuge there.
**[12:14] ---**
I trust you will sniff them out.
**[12:19] ---**
Those ticks.
**[12:20] ---**
I can tell there are
four males and one female.
**[12:25] ---**
Count on me, Lord Takauji.
**[12:27] ---**
My arrows and my eyes are
the most excellent in this country.
**[12:31] ---**
I will find and kill any little bug.
**[12:35] ---**
SADAMUNE OGASAWARA
**[12:36] ---**
DAY OF DOG-SHOOTING COMPETITION
**[12:37] ---**
Around the time Lord Tokiyuki was
finally getting used to living in Suwa…
**[12:40] ---**
My lord!
**[12:42] ---**
You have to see this!
**[12:43] ---**
We have a surprise contestant!
**[12:44] ---**
The governor of Shinano,
Sadamune Ogasawara,
**[12:47] ---**
is jumping into the competition!
**[12:49] ---**
Dog-shooting competitions are
Shinano's main event.
**[12:53] ---**
As the governor of Shinano,
I had to liven up the party.
**[12:56] ---**
If none of you can win against me,
you'll allow me
**[13:00] ---**
to search your suspicious folks' homes
**[13:04] ---**
for the Hojo survivors without complaint.
**[13:09] ---**
That scumbag,
saying whatever conditions he wants!
**[13:12] ---**
Sadamune has two goals.
**[13:14] ---**
*First, to find*
*any surviving Hojo family members.*
**[13:17] ---**
*And he'll use that as an excuse to,*
**[13:18] ---**
*two, weaken the amount*
*of influence the Suwa clan has.*
**[13:20] ---**
*And in that case, we also have two goals.*
**[13:23] ---**
*First, never let them know*
*who Lord Tokiyuki really is.*
**[13:28] ---**
*Second, let Lord Tokiyuki absorb*
*Sadamune's archery technique.*
**[13:31] ---**
*It's hide-and-seek*
*from his eyes and arrows!*
**[13:34] ---**
NANBOKUCHO GAME OF TAG
ALL-SEEING DEMON
**[13:35] ---**
SADAMUNE OGASAWARA
**[13:41] ---**
The game is over, kid.
**[13:45] ---**
*There's blood.*
**[13:47] ---**
*It hurts. There's no winning. I'm scared!*
**[13:50] ---**
*If this was a real arrow, I'd be dead.*
**[13:57] ---**
*Why do you run?*
**[13:59] ---**
*Are you afraid?*
**[14:01] ---**
*Are you uselessly struggling?*
**[14:05] ---**
*This is fun!*
**[14:15] ---**
Give up.
**[14:16] ---**
It's impossible for you
to make a four-point comeback
**[14:21] ---**
at this point!
**[14:27] ---**
-My lord!
-Young Lord!
**[14:28] ---**
You think you could be
a match for Sadamune
**[14:29] ---**
just with your shooting abilities?
**[14:31] ---**
You must combine evading and shooting!
**[14:34] ---**
*I have to evade while I shoot?*
**[14:38] ---**
*It's all so clear.*
**[14:42] ---**
*I am elusive and the heir*
*to the Hojo clan.*
**[14:45] ---**
TWO POINTS
**[14:46] ---**
*While I'm running away, I can do anything!*
**[14:55] ---**
DOG-SHOOTING COMPETITION 1333
**[14:57] ---**
Tokiyuki's potential blooms on the run.
**[15:00] ---**
Six versus five, Chojumaru wins!
**[15:01] ---**
*Therefore, he foiled Sadamune's plan*
*with a splendid counterattack.*
**[15:05] ---**
Take that, punk! Go, Chojumaru!
**[15:07] ---**
You can do it, my lord.
**[15:09] ---**
Right now,
you're Suwa Grand Shrine's Chojumaru.
**[15:13] ---**
Enemies coming to visit will be suspicious
if we don't have you working already.
**[15:18] ---**
The only enemy who would come is Sadamune.
**[15:21] ---**
But he suffered huge embarrassment
just yesterday,
**[15:23] ---**
so he probably won't show his face
for a while.
**[15:26] ---**
-Hi!
-What?
**[15:29] ---**
He's here with a smile.
**[15:30] ---**
What a resilient man.
**[15:32] ---**
I've kept you waiting, Suwa folk.
**[15:34] ---**
I bring an Imperial Command.
**[15:36] ---**
IMPERIAL COMMAND = DECREE
*DO NOT DEFY
**[15:38] ---**
One part
of Suwa territory would have been forfeit.
**[15:40] ---**
If the people of Suwa disobeyed
the Imperial Command,
**[15:42] ---**
they would have been named traitors,
**[15:44] ---**
and armies on Suwa's perimeter
would have attacked Suwa at once.
**[15:46] ---**
FORFEITURE
**[15:47] ---**
Therefore…
**[15:48] ---**
There's someone I want
to recruit to the Elusive Warriors.
**[15:51] ---**
What?
**[15:52] ---**
-He's a thief named Genba Kazama.
-A thief?
**[15:56] ---**
SHAPE-SHIFTING THIEF
GENBA KAZAMA
**[15:58] ---**
He uses all sorts of trickery.
**[15:59] ---**
He can also get in anywhere
and steal anything.
**[16:03] ---**
Have him go into Sadamune's residence
and steal the Emperor's Imperial Command.
**[16:09] ---**
I'm not planning on risking my life
for an irresponsible employer.
**[16:13] ---**
I'll take the job
only if you're willing to come with me.
**[16:16] ---**
KING
**[16:18] ---**
*The two find the Imperial Command*
*and escape the residence unharmed.*
**[16:21] ---**
*However, during their escape…*
**[16:23] ---**
ALL-HEARING DEMON
SUKEFUSA ICHIKAWA
**[16:24] ---**
*…Lord Tokiyuki sustains a deep wound*
*from protecting Genba.*
**[16:28] ---**
*And to make matters worse…*
**[16:37] ---**
What? A thunderbolt?
**[16:40] ---**
He's back.
**[16:42] ---**
That's Sadamune's arrow.
**[16:45] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[16:46] ---**
The sound of his horse is
about 100 meters away.
**[16:48] ---**
I've entombed many
in darkness with these hands.
**[16:52] ---**
Now, Sadamune.
**[16:55] ---**
Shall we start off
by shooting down that wounded brat?
**[16:58] ---**
Yes, Ichikawa.
**[16:59] ---**
Show my arrow the way
with your perfect hearing.
**[17:03] ---**
*If the obligation was invisible,*
*I could ignore it.*
**[17:06] ---**
*But an obligation I can see?*
**[17:08] ---**
*I have to repay it!*
**[17:13] ---**
Are you two old geezers having fun?
**[17:17] ---**
What a pain.
**[17:19] ---**
But I'll take on both of you.
**[17:25] ---**
Birds? I can't tell
where the sounds are coming from!
**[17:28] ---**
I don't know about killing,
but morphing I know a thing or two about!
**[17:33] ---**
And I won't stand losing
to you boring soldiers.
**[17:40] ---**
He disappeared?
**[17:43] ---**
Sadamune.
**[17:44] ---**
Could the Imperial Command
still be in there?
**[17:46] ---**
That fox-masked brat tricked us all!
**[17:55] ---**
*So it goes that a new member joined*
*the Elusive Warriors.*
**[17:59] ---**
*And Suwa territory was protected. But…*
**[18:09] ---**
Here it comes.
**[18:11] ---**
That phase when I can't see the future.
**[18:16] ---**
Ogasawara is moving
suspiciously yet again.
**[18:18] ---**
Yes.
**[18:19] ---**
The enemy seems to be spying on us
from the northern border.
**[18:23] ---**
KING
**[18:25] ---**
*I must hide this secret from everyone.*
**[18:27] ---**
*On rare occasions,*
*I suddenly lose my gift of prophecy.*
**[18:32] ---**
*This is bad.*
**[18:33] ---**
*I hope there's no trouble*
*during a time like this.*
**[18:37] ---**
Um…
**[18:38] ---**
What do you say the Elusive Warriors go
to scout out the area?
**[18:43] ---**
What?
**[18:46] ---**
*I was incredibly worried*
*and strongly opposed to the idea*
**[18:50] ---**
*of Lord Tokiyuki going*
*on such a dangerous mission*
**[18:53] ---**
*during this phase*
*when I can't see the future,*
**[18:56] ---**
*but I wasn't able to stop him.*
**[19:01] ---**
NAKAYAMA MANOR
**[19:02] ---**
We got here just before sunset.
**[19:04] ---**
It seems peaceful.
**[19:07] ---**
*In this moment,*
*the Elusive Warriors encounter*
**[19:09] ---**
*an unexpected turn of events.*
**[19:14] ---**
What is this?
**[19:17] ---**
We're surrounded.
**[19:20] ---**
*He is a dual-wielder in his mid-teens.*
**[19:25] ---**
*When will the ones*
*surrounding us join the fight?*
**[19:45] ---**
Please excuse my rudeness.
**[19:47] ---**
My name is Fubuki.
**[19:50] ---**
I wander the land looking
for a lord to serve.
**[19:54] ---**
This village is the most vital location
for Suwa?
**[19:58] ---**
That's the first I've heard that.
**[20:00] ---**
NAKAYAMA MANOR
**[20:01] ---**
*The Elusive Warriors joined the wise*
*strategist Fubuki to protect the village.*
**[20:06] ---**
*And according to Fubuki's plan,*
*Lord Tokiyuki would go*
**[20:08] ---**
*up against the enemy general*
*in a one-on-one battle.*
**[20:11] ---**
What is your name?
**[20:12] ---**
I've changed my name many times,
but right now, I go by Shokan.
**[20:20] ---**
Surely it will be special…
**[20:25] ---**
The sake I'll buy
with the money I get for you!
**[20:27] ---**
NANBOKUCHO GAME OF TAG
**[20:28] ---**
DEMON OF DISBELIEF
SHOKAN THE HERETIC
**[20:30] ---**
*The secret plan is*
*for Lord Tokiyuki to use*
**[20:33] ---**
*a secret sword technique*
*no one else can master.*
**[20:35] ---**
Your weapon is your kindness.
**[20:38] ---**
You're better at running than fighting.
**[20:41] ---**
Better at pulling than pushing.
**[20:43] ---**
Better at defending rather than attacking.
**[20:45] ---**
That's precisely what makes it
the Elusive Sword.
**[20:48] ---**
Your raised left hand will serve
as a guide.
**[20:51] ---**
Wait for the moment when your enemy's
blade passes between your hand and sword.
**[20:59] ---**
Here he comes!
**[21:01] ---**
*Twist my upper body counterclockwise.*
**[21:03] ---**
*Let the weight of the sword do the work*
*as I lower it…*
**[21:06] ---**
*Pull the blade to the right,*
**[21:07] ---**
*and retreat!*
**[21:13] ---**
My inner forearm.
**[21:14] ---**
It'll take quite some time for me to lose
consciousness with just a bleeding wrist.
**[21:19] ---**
You think I won't kill you
before that happens?
**[21:27] ---**
In this small room!
**[21:32] ---**
I'll corner you slow and steady.
**[21:37] ---**
I can just take my time to tend
to my wound after I cut you into pieces.
**[21:46] ---**
*Why did I shiver just now?*
**[22:15] ---**
*He's not only evading my sword,*
*but also my splattering blood?*
**[22:20] ---**
*Is he a monster?*
**[22:30] ---**
You're amazing, Young Lord.
**[22:32] ---**
The two of us barely stood a chance
against that monster.
**[22:36] ---**
It's all thanks
to the technique Fubuki taught me.
**[22:39] ---**
You're right. Who would have thought
that it would be possible to defeat him
**[22:42] ---**
by simply cutting his inner forearm
and running from him?
**[22:44] ---**
The Cowardly Sword is impressive!
**[22:46] ---**
Don't call it that!
**[22:49] ---**
That fire!
**[22:50] ---**
Yes, they're reinforcements
from Suwa Grand Shrine.
**[22:54] ---**
They made it just in time.
**[23:02] ---**
Mr. Yorishige.
**[23:09] ---**
I'm glad you're safe.
**[23:13] ---**
Yes.
**[23:17] ---**
That kinda hurts, Mr. Yorishige.
**[23:22] ---**
*My guidance is no longer needed*
**[23:24] ---**
*now that so many reliable retainers have*
*joined the Elusive Warriors.*
**[23:29] ---**
*The future is still shrouded in mystery,*
**[23:33] ---**
*but I've been sensing an omen*
*of the nearing upcoming battle.*
**[23:48] ---**

**[00:12] ---**
*Some soldiers died because I wished*
*to protect this village.*
**[00:19] ---**
*I must brace my heart*
*if I'm going to be a general.*
**[00:23] ---**
Chojumaru.
**[00:28] ---**
I want to offer my gratitude and deepest
apologies for how it all turned out.
**[00:32] ---**
No need. I should apologize.
I acted recklessly.
**[00:36] ---**
No, you were a big help.
**[00:40] ---**
It's just as Fubuki pointed out.
**[00:42] ---**
No one realized
that this village was in a vital location.
**[00:46] ---**
We'll place guards to protect it
from now on.
**[00:49] ---**
What will happen to the orphans?
**[00:56] ---**
We'll take them in at Suwa Grand Shrine
for the time being.
**[00:59] ---**
They're all grateful to Fubuki and you,
**[01:02] ---**
so I don't think they would
have any objections.
**[01:04] ---**
Okay.
**[01:07] ---**
And since I put you in danger,
**[01:12] ---**
I have to come clean about something.
**[01:18] ---**
A phase when you can't see… the future?
**[01:23] ---**
They're blurry and unclear,
as you may have noticed,
**[01:27] ---**
but it's troublesome if I can't see
any visions in an emergency.
**[01:32] ---**
Please keep this a secret between us.
**[01:35] ---**
The gods hold power only
if there are people who believe in it.
**[01:38] ---**
And there are people
who depend on and seek refuge in my power.
**[01:44] ---**
That being said, Lord Tokiyuki,
**[01:46] ---**
I would like just a little bit of help
to regain my power.
**[01:54] ---**
I want you to know, too,
the source of my powers.
**[02:00] ---**
There are wonders
that remain in this world
**[02:04] ---**
that can't be measured
by military might nor intellect.
**[02:11] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[03:34] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[03:41] ---**
Eel?
**[03:44] ---**
I'll go catch some at the Tenryu River
if it is your command.
**[03:48] ---**
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
**[03:54] ---**
Sorry.
**[03:56] ---**
I just wanted to eat some suddenly.
**[04:00] ---**
*Remember, it's a secret*
*from everyone that I've lost my powers.*
**[04:10] ---**
Why do you need to eat an eel
in order for your powers to return?
**[04:20] ---**
Last time this happened,
I was cured after I ate some eel.
**[04:23] ---**
There are many possible ways
my holy power could come back,
**[04:27] ---**
so I must learn from the past
and try them one by one.
**[04:32] ---**
Eel is Suwa's specialty.
**[04:34] ---**
In the winter, they carry plenty of fat,
and the meat is so tender…
**[04:44] ---**
I can feel the power
coursing through my veins!
**[04:50] ---**
But my holy power hasn't returned.
I guess it wasn't eel.
**[04:56] ---**
Alpine leek?
**[04:58] ---**
-I just… want to… try some?
-I can smell eel grilling! Where is it?
**[05:06] ---**
Okay. I'll forage some
from the back hills.
**[05:10] ---**
It's the Buddhist monks'
favorite vegetable
**[05:12] ---**
while they train in the mountains.
**[05:15] ---**
Its striking aroma has the power
to ward off evil.
**[05:22] ---**
But this isn't doing the trick either.
**[05:27] ---**
You want to take this rope?
Sure, of course. I don't mind…
**[05:31] ---**
Shrine maiden attire?
There's plenty in the shed…
**[05:40] ---**
But why would you need such a thing?
**[05:43] ---**
Well, I've grown interested
in the clothes of the shrine.
**[06:04] ---**
Right.
**[06:07] ---**
*In Shintoism, both men and women*
*are equally important.*
**[06:10] ---**
*One particularly important role*
*is that of the shrine maiden.*
**[06:14] ---**
*Since we have to keep my secret*
*from the shrine maidens,*
**[06:19] ---**
*we'll perform a ritual with a doll*
*to regain my holy powers.*
**[06:26] ---**
A shrine maiden?
**[06:28] ---**
No, this is all wrong! It doesn't look
like a shrine maiden at all!
**[06:32] ---**
I need to make a shrine maiden!
A shrine maiden!
**[06:38] ---**
I did it!
**[06:44] ---**
This is weird, right?
**[06:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:49] ---**
He ate a bunch of things
to give him energy.
**[06:52] ---**
And built a life-sized doll
of a shrine maiden.
**[06:56] ---**
The rope is definitely to tie it up.
**[07:02] ---**
My lord.
**[07:03] ---**
Your kink… is wild.
**[07:07] ---**
There's no way… that our Lord Tokiyuki
has developed
**[07:10] ---**
such mature taste at his young age?
**[07:11] ---**
You don't get it, Moritaka.
**[07:15] ---**
Spoiled brats are more inclined
to grow up to be huge perverts.
**[07:19] ---**
Calm down.
**[07:21] ---**
Just because our lord is a huge pervert
**[07:23] ---**
doesn't mean
it will affect our loyalty to him.
**[07:26] ---**
Yeah, that's right. This is all to help
our lord restore the Kamakura shogunate.
**[07:32] ---**
No matter how perverse
his shogunate might be!
**[07:35] ---**
I agree! As his retainer, I will master
the art of war and perversion.
**[07:39] ---**
Yeah!
**[07:41] ---**
-He's a pervert for sure.
-We have a good lord.
**[07:44] ---**
Yorishige!
**[07:47] ---**
What is it? You look pale.
**[07:49] ---**
It's not the time to be eating more eel!
**[07:51] ---**
My retainers
are completely misunderstanding me
**[07:54] ---**
because I'm running
these nonsensical errands for you!
**[07:58] ---**
It doesn't have to be such a bad thing.
**[08:00] ---**
A slightly enigmatic lord can exude
an inexplicable sense of authority.
**[08:03] ---**
They're totally put off!
**[08:06] ---**
You come with me! Go talk to everyone
and clear things up!
**[08:09] ---**
I don't care about keeping
your holy power a secret!
**[08:13] ---**
Hey, hey now.
I have just one more favor to ask of you.
**[08:20] ---**
If you walk about four kilometers
from here, you'll see Mount Moriya,
**[08:24] ---**
the sacred place where the divine spirits
of Suwa Grand Shrine reside.
**[08:27] ---**
Go fetch me water
from the sacred wetland that runs there.
**[08:30] ---**
I'll probably be back to normal
in a heartbeat if I drink it.
**[08:35] ---**
Then why didn't you say so
in the first place!
**[08:38] ---**
I wanted to eat eel and leek!
**[08:45] ---**
What am I doing?
**[08:47] ---**
I'm just being subjected to
Mr. Yorishige's
**[08:51] ---**
perpetually unpredictable moods.
**[08:55] ---**
Whether his holy power exists
in the first place is doubtful.
**[09:00] ---**
All the power that he's shown
might just be coincidences.
**[09:05] ---**
He leads such a large army. There's no
need to rely on some unpredictable power.
**[09:31] ---**
*Light?*
**[09:35] ---**
*That's… the Kagura Dance*
*dedicated to the gods.*
**[09:40] ---**
*Am I seeing things? It looks like*
*she's playing with countless lights.*
**[09:51] ---**
Big Brother! What brings you here?
**[09:54] ---**
I just… came to fetch some water.
**[09:58] ---**
What are you doing here, Shizuku?
**[10:02] ---**
I was praying with them.
For the accomplishment of your goals.
**[10:08] ---**
For the prosperity of Suwa.
And for peace in this world.
**[10:13] ---**
With them?
**[10:17] ---**
I see.
**[10:18] ---**
Father must have wanted to show you
if he told you to come here.
**[10:26] ---**
Big Brother.
**[10:28] ---**
Crouch down a little.
**[10:34] ---**
Close your eyes.
**[10:45] ---**
There. Now you should be able to see
them for a little while.
**[10:49] ---**
Open your eyes.
**[10:57] ---**
What… are… they?
**[11:00] ---**
They're Divine Beasts that live
in Suwa's sanctuary.
**[11:04] ---**
Not that they lend their power to us,
but if I pray here, they'll protect us.
**[11:11] ---**
Hey, if I look closely, I can see Botan!
**[11:14] ---**
I think it moved in recently.
**[11:17] ---**
*I must be dreaming.*
*I can't believe they exist in our world.*
**[11:23] ---**
*This was the last era*
*where people coexisted with the divine.*
**[11:30] ---**
*If you saw a monster,*
*it meant an earthquake would come.*
**[11:32] ---**
GRAFFITI PROHIBITED
**[11:33] ---**
*You could also see a tengu flying*
*around town.*
**[11:35] ---**
CERTAINLY - NO FUTURE
**[11:37] ---**
*These types of stories were recorded*
*as fact in official documents.*
**[11:40] ---**
SUWA GRAND SHRINE STAFF
MR. S.Y
**[11:42] ---**
The divine storm
that sank the Mongolian army?
**[11:44] ---**
That was all because of our prayers.
**[11:47] ---**
*Such matters were seriously claimed*
*as achievements,*
**[11:50] ---**
*and many shrines received real rewards.*
**[11:54] ---**
*At this time,*
*prayer was pragmatic public work,*
**[11:59] ---**
*and a vast budget was poured into it.*
**[12:03] ---**
This is what Father
wanted you to retrieve, isn't it?
**[12:11] ---**
There. His holy power
is probably weakened?
**[12:15] ---**
Thank you.
**[12:21] ---**
*I caught a glimpse of the fleeting wonder,*
*but it was blurry and unclear.*
**[12:26] ---**
*They're a faint existence that don't seem*
*to have much influence on this world.*
**[12:31] ---**
*Why did Mr. Yorishige show it to me?*
**[12:36] ---**
*And Shizuku,*
*I don't think I know much about you.*
**[13:13] ---**
It looks good.
**[13:20] ---**
Bring Tadayoshi.
**[13:23] ---**
It's time to start envisioning
the future for our country.
**[13:29] ---**
Tadayoshi!
**[13:32] ---**
You came! Aren't you exhausted from
working hard at the imperial court?
**[13:37] ---**
TADAYOSHI ASHIKAGA
**[13:38] ---**
I am in perfect physical condition.
**[13:40] ---**
TAKAUJI ASHIKAGA'S
YOUNGER BROTHER
**[13:41] ---**
You seem well as always, big brother.
**[13:43] ---**
I'm going to get straight to business.
**[13:46] ---**
I want you to proceed towards
Kamakura and strengthen our defenses.
**[13:53] ---**
Is it your usual "intuition"?
**[13:55] ---**
Yes!
**[13:57] ---**
I have a feeling that the Hojo survivors
will begin a revolt soon.
**[14:03] ---**
Your intuition has always been
mostly right ever since we were young.
**[14:07] ---**
When we were children,
I spent three whole days
**[14:10] ---**
hiding a treasure
and creating a cipher to find it.
**[14:13] ---**
*Okay, not even Takauji can solve this!*
**[14:16] ---**
*A treasure hunt? That sounds fun!*
**[14:19] ---**
*Okay, I'm gonna start by looking*
*under the floor in Moronao's room!*
**[14:25] ---**
Before I gave you the cipher,
you guessed correctly with your intuition.
**[14:30] ---**
*I made the cipher*
*so that no one in this household*
**[14:31] ---**
*was supposed to be able to solve it.*
**[14:39] ---**
Even if I can win with my intuition,
I can't beat your brains.
**[14:44] ---**
I bet you already have plans
in that head of yours.
**[14:46] ---**
Yes.
**[14:49] ---**
I'm currently thinking of about 100
different defense strategies for Kamakura.
**[14:54] ---**
Imagine if we, as brothers,
establish control over Kyo and Kamakura.
**[14:59] ---**
All the warriors throughout
the land would obey the Ashikaga.
**[15:05] ---**
By the way, don't you think that
100 is an overstatement?
**[15:07] ---**
Aren't you really
only thinking of about 14?
**[15:10] ---**
Is that the sort of thing
you can guess with intuition?
**[15:16] ---**
*Takauji is charismatic,*
*intuitive and a master of war.*
**[15:20] ---**
*Tadayoshi is intellectual,*
*level-headed and logical.*
**[15:23] ---**
*These two were complete opposite*
*types of geniuses,*
**[15:26] ---**
*but they were very close as brothers.*
**[15:32] ---**
I know!
**[15:35] ---**
Look, Tadayoshi.
**[15:37] ---**
I drew a picture of the Buddha again!
**[15:45] ---**
The Buddha is wonderful.
I feel calm just looking at him.
**[16:09] ---**
Takauji.
**[16:12] ---**
I managed to get high-quality
cedar boards made in Kitayama.
**[16:17] ---**
I was just thinking that they would be
perfect for the wooden wall of this room.
**[16:22] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[16:23] ---**
How about this?
I'll give you the cedar boards for free.
**[16:28] ---**
In exchange, could I
have this wonderful picture of the Buddha?
**[16:37] ---**
You have an appreciation
for the Buddha too. Go ahead. Take it.
**[16:46] ---**
I'm leaving all of Kamakura up to you.
**[17:01] ---**
Somebody!
**[17:03] ---**
*Recently, my brother has surpassed*
*the level of just having a good intuition…*
**[17:11] ---**
*It's gotten to the point*
*where I wonder if he is human…*
**[17:14] ---**
Keep the Buddha and burn everything else.
**[17:17] ---**
-Sir.
-Sir.
**[17:19] ---**
I can't show my brother's followers
a picture like this.
**[17:23] ---**
*I wonder if he's realized it himself.*
**[17:28] ---**
*That he only sees the Buddha as prey.*
**[17:35] ---**
*Takauji Ashikaga seized Kamakura,*
**[17:38] ---**
*and Tadayoshi Ashikaga*
*protects that same Kamakura.*
**[17:42] ---**
*There was less than a year and a half*
**[17:44] ---**
*until the brothers who had risen to power*
*would clash against Tokiyuki Hojo.*
**[17:51] ---**
I knew that Shizuku
could see that I was not feeling myself!
**[17:54] ---**
Who exactly is she?
And what was that mystical scene?
**[18:01] ---**
It's not my place
to tell you about Shizuku.
**[18:05] ---**
I'm sure she'll tell you soon enough.
**[18:12] ---**
My holy power
is suddenly coming back to me!
**[18:16] ---**
I think.
**[18:18] ---**
You think?
**[18:21] ---**
The Divine Beasts that you saw
were manifested by holy power.
**[18:27] ---**
Holy power exists
where human eyes don't reach.
**[18:32] ---**
Where human eyes don't reach?
**[18:36] ---**
Just like you, Lord Tokiyuki.
**[18:40] ---**
In a world with more watchful eyes
and advanced social surveillance,
**[18:45] ---**
someone as important
as you could not be a fugitive.
**[18:50] ---**
The rogues we battled the other day
are in the same boat.
**[18:53] ---**
People like them hold the divine power
to exist for the first time in history
**[18:56] ---**
because no one is looking for them.
**[18:58] ---**
However, these divine powers
are beginning to deplete.
**[19:04] ---**
When the right to own land
was guaranteed through favor or service,
**[19:08] ---**
people's attachment
to the land grew stronger,
**[19:11] ---**
and the populated areas expanded.
**[19:14] ---**
As the human world
becomes more observable,
**[19:16] ---**
secret places and the power
that comes from them shrink.
**[19:22] ---**
The wonders… cease to be wonders.
**[19:34] ---**
Lake Suwa's ice is broken in half!
**[19:38] ---**
Our famous location:
the famed God's Crossing at Lake Suwa.
**[19:41] ---**
Currently, everyone believes that
Suwa Myojin creates it using holy power.
**[19:46] ---**
But the more people lay eyes on it,
**[19:51] ---**
I'm sure there will come a day that it
will be explained as a natural phenomenon.
**[19:56] ---**
In other words, the stronger humans
become, the weaker the gods will be.
**[20:04] ---**
As people begin to only look at reality,
**[20:06] ---**
the gods and holy power
will all disappear.
**[20:11] ---**
That's how the times change.
**[20:24] ---**
Will you disappear one day too…
Mr. Yorishige?
**[20:33] ---**
The halo of the gods has completely
recovered! My holy power is eternal!
**[20:38] ---**
That's the source of your halo?
**[20:41] ---**
What I'm trying to say is--
**[20:45] ---**
This is the last time period
where we get to use divine powers!
**[20:51] ---**
And your abilities are perfect
for this period.
**[20:57] ---**
You're not a god, but just a human.
You should live your life to the fullest.
**[21:09] ---**
The playground you stand on
will melt away one day.
**[21:13] ---**
Play to your heart's content during this
period of change!
**[21:18] ---**
Okay!
**[21:23] ---**
Putting that aside.
**[21:24] ---**
Mr. Yorishige, be sure to clean up
after all your playing around.
**[21:32] ---**
I didn't want to see Lord Yorishige
like this.
**[21:35] ---**
I overestimated him…
**[21:37] ---**
I can't believe
he was making Lord Tokiyuki
**[21:40] ---**
gather tools for his own pleasure.
**[21:42] ---**
Whoa!
**[21:44] ---**
I don't understand why he would do that
outside where everyone can see.
**[21:47] ---**
I don't know. Maybe it's a form of play
only permitted to a god.
**[21:51] ---**
It's so intense that he actually looks
like he's having a divine experience.
**[21:57] ---**
*It seems like holy power has gathered*
**[21:59] ---**
*because Yorishige is free*
*in an isolated world.*
**[23:38] ---**

APRIL
**[00:02] ---**
SHINANO FARMING VILLAGE
**[00:05] ---**
Everyone seems to be enjoying the harvest.
**[00:07] ---**
Double-cropping is popular these days.
**[00:10] ---**
The agreement is that
the second crop won't be taxed.
**[00:14] ---**
Barley… Barley…
**[00:16] ---**
Your love for barley is heavy, Fubuki.
**[00:20] ---**
*Barley harvesting in April.*
**[00:23] ---**
*I wonder*
*if the citizens of Shinano are happy.*
**[00:28] ---**
It's time to take the second crop!
**[00:31] ---**
Wait! I thought
the barley wasn't going to be taxed.
**[00:35] ---**
Shut up! You all were wagging
your little tails for the Hojo!
**[00:39] ---**
Consider yourselves criminals
with no rights to own anything,
**[00:42] ---**
not even a worm!
**[00:44] ---**
Not even a worm!
**[00:48] ---**
All right, men.
Hurry up and carry these bales!
**[00:53] ---**
Springtime taxes bear heavy,
yet slowly filling up my purse.
**[00:59] ---**
In it goes, warm and steady,
bringing peace to my universe.
**[01:02] ---**
SHINANO PROVINCIAL OFFICIAL
SHINANO-NO-KAMI KIYOHARA
**[01:04] ---**
-Provincial Official.
-Yes?
**[01:06] ---**
The law is actually that only
the first crop of rice is to be taxed.
**[01:13] ---**
That was a decision made
by the traitorous Kamakura shogunate.
**[01:18] ---**
The Emperor personally appointed me
to be the provincial official
**[01:22] ---**
which means Shinano is under my rule!
**[01:26] ---**
This is my world!
**[01:33] ---**
Right.
**[01:34] ---**
-By the way, Sadamune.
-Yes?
**[01:37] ---**
I told you to draw your eyebrows nicely.
**[01:42] ---**
You've lived in Kyo.
**[01:45] ---**
You mustn't let these hillbillies
poison your elegance.
**[01:52] ---**
There. Now you're beautiful.
**[01:55] ---**
Consider it my stamp of approval
as the provincial official.
**[01:57] ---**
Come on, smile pretty.
**[02:00] ---**
GRIN
**[02:14] ---**
Please!
**[02:16] ---**
Please, don't take our barley.
**[02:18] ---**
This dog is still yapping.
**[02:21] ---**
Order to kill a couple of them
as an example.
**[02:24] ---**
Sir!
**[02:26] ---**
The Emperor won't mind
any number of Hojo dogs being killed.
**[02:36] ---**
If it comes down to it, one word is all
it takes to call a great army from Kyo.
**[02:45] ---**
That crooked provincial official,
Shinano-no-kami!
**[02:49] ---**
I've had enough.
**[02:51] ---**
Kawanakajima?
**[02:53] ---**
Yes, there's been a report that
Yasaburo Hoshina,
**[02:56] ---**
a resident who is a part of the Suwa Sect,
has raised an army
**[02:59] ---**
to fight against
the oppressive provincial official.
**[03:02] ---**
There are members of the Suwa Sect even
in the provincial official's territory?
**[03:05] ---**
Yes, there are those that obey
the enemy out of necessity
**[03:08] ---**
to support their clan and retainers.
**[03:12] ---**
Given the disparity in numbers,
**[03:14] ---**
Hoshina's rebellion stands no chance
of winning.
**[03:16] ---**
Suwa cannot send rescue.
**[03:19] ---**
Sending reinforcements deep into enemy
territory will result in a full-blown war.
**[03:25] ---**
And so I have a request for you
and the Elusive Warriors.
**[03:28] ---**
Go to Kawanakajima
**[03:30] ---**
and convince Hoshina and his retainers
to stop fighting.
**[03:33] ---**
Then help them to escape.
**[03:36] ---**
You're sending the Young Lord
on a pretty dangerous mission,
**[03:40] ---**
despite how worried you were
about the recent scouting one.
**[03:43] ---**
Well, it's because
Mr. Yorishige couldn't see the f--
**[03:47] ---**
I foresee
Lord Tokiyuki's safe return, Kojiro.
**[03:51] ---**
What I can't foresee is how many
of the Suwa Sect will die.
**[03:56] ---**
Even if they are in a place
far beyond reach,
**[03:58] ---**
believers of Suwa Myojin
are important allies.
**[04:01] ---**
Not to mention, Hoshina is a capable man
with a strong sense of duty.
**[04:05] ---**
I don't want him killed in a small battle.
**[04:09] ---**
And Lord Tokiyuki.
**[04:11] ---**
It's about time for your elusiveness
to reach the next level.
**[04:16] ---**
In this current state,
you can only run on your own.
**[04:19] ---**
That isn't enough
for a general leading an army.
**[04:23] ---**
Show me that you can help
as many soldiers as you can to escape,
**[04:25] ---**
and become an elusive general.
**[04:31] ---**
Two more days till our destination, huh?
**[04:32] ---**
It's not very sexy without the girls.
**[04:36] ---**
According to the future that
Mr. Yorishige saw,
**[04:38] ---**
it's dangerous for those two
to come with us.
**[04:41] ---**
Of course, we're anticipating a war,
after all.
**[04:47] ---**
*A future where the Young Lord is safe may*
*exist if I protect him the entire time.*
**[04:53] ---**
*But while I do that,*
*our allied forces will be killed.*
**[04:58] ---**
*The number of the dead might depend on me.*
**[05:02] ---**
Fubuki.
**[05:03] ---**
I'll rely on you for when
we need a more detailed strategy.
**[05:07] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[05:09] ---**
When it's time to let the group escape,
Genba will be helpful.
**[05:12] ---**
-Me?
-Keep in mind his tools and skills.
**[05:16] ---**
What? I have to teach him?
**[05:19] ---**
-Kojiro, you can work as you please.
-Really?
**[05:22] ---**
You're expected to be a general,
**[05:24] ---**
and I'm sure it gets boring
having to protect me all the time.
**[05:30] ---**
Hey, brat, it's only cool to say that
if you can actually fight.
**[05:36] ---**
What? Don't talk like I can't fight!
You know, Fubuki taught me that secret--
**[05:42] ---**
Cowardly Sword!
**[05:44] ---**
Yeah! The Cowardly… How dare you!
**[05:46] ---**
-The Young Lord is a coward.
-If you say that one more time…
**[05:51] ---**
Hoshina is already preparing for war.
**[05:54] ---**
KAWANAKA
**[05:55] ---**
Using the river as a defense,
**[05:57] ---**
it looks like he'll protect his territory
behind him till the end.
**[06:00] ---**
The enemy's numbers exceed ours
many times over. There's no way to win.
**[06:03] ---**
Okay, let's go to the troop's headquarters
and talk to Mr. Hoshina.
**[06:07] ---**
Messengers from Suwa Grand Shrine?
**[06:09] ---**
Yes, we've come with a request
for Mr. Hoshina.
**[06:14] ---**
Thanks for coming all this way,
my young messengers.
**[06:17] ---**
Right, follow me.
**[06:20] ---**
Looks like
the brat's made a good first impression.
**[06:24] ---**
The Young Lord speaks with class,
so it puts people at ease.
**[06:28] ---**
It's just what we need for negotiations.
**[06:31] ---**
You're embarrassing me, Fubuki.
**[06:33] ---**
Compliment me when we get the job done.
**[06:37] ---**
POP POP POP POP
**[06:39] ---**
Have you brought reinforcements
from Suwa Grand Shrine?
**[06:41] ---**
No, I don't bring reinforcements.
**[06:44] ---**
I just wanted to talk.
**[06:46] ---**
No reinforcements?
**[06:47] ---**
-Fine.
-Yes.
**[06:49] ---**
So please have your army stand down
immediately.
**[06:52] ---**
-Then we'll die like we planned, everyone!
-Yeah!
**[06:55] ---**
What?
**[06:57] ---**
SUWA SECT
YASABURO HOSHINA
**[07:00] ---**
Even if we don't stand a chance,
**[07:02] ---**
we must show our pride
by putting our lives on the line!
**[07:05] ---**
-Yeah!
-We are samurai!
**[07:07] ---**
-Our territory is our life!
-Yeah!
**[07:09] ---**
If it's for our lives, of course
we'll die for it! Now let us die!
**[07:13] ---**
-Yeah!
-We shall die a glorious death!
**[07:16] ---**
-Yeah!
-We're supposed to stop this?
**[07:20] ---**
What was that first guy
with the peaceful face doing at the gates?
**[07:23] ---**
I'm ready to die!
**[07:24] ---**
I'm gonna spill my guts
and die with a smile!
**[07:27] ---**
It was just his face!
**[07:31] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[08:54] ---**
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
**[08:59] ---**
Don't avoid the problem, my lord!
**[09:01] ---**
-Step up to your duty and persuade them!
-I can't, I can't, I can't!
**[09:05] ---**
-Let's die! Let's die! Let's die!
-Yeah!
**[09:06] ---**
I can't tell these people to run away
when they're so ready to die!
**[09:10] ---**
How should I die?
**[09:13] ---**
I'm going to be shot by 100 arrows
and die standing.
**[09:16] ---**
Then after I lose both my hands,
I'll bite onto an enemy and die.
**[09:20] ---**
See? At this point,
death has become a party trick!
**[09:23] ---**
The provincial official must have greatly
hurt their pride by humiliating them.
**[09:28] ---**
When disrespected,
samurai will gladly die for their pride.
**[09:33] ---**
I'm going to go up
my enemy's rear headfirst.
**[09:36] ---**
Then I'll devour
all of their insides gluttonously
**[09:39] ---**
and jump out of their chest to die
with a smile on my face.
**[09:41] ---**
I don't think that person's doing it
for his pride. I think he's just a freak.
**[09:45] ---**
Excuse me.
**[09:47] ---**
Are all of you truly messengers
from Suwa Grand Shrine?
**[09:51] ---**
If you have a letter, show me.
**[09:54] ---**
Who are you?
**[09:55] ---**
My name is Shinomiya.
**[09:57] ---**
SUWA SECT
SAEMONTARO SHINOMIYA
**[10:00] ---**
I live in the territory
next to Yasaburo Hoshina.
**[10:02] ---**
I'm assisting his fight this round.
**[10:06] ---**
The real deal.
**[10:08] ---**
Just as I thought,
Myojin wants us to cease our fight.
**[10:13] ---**
*Finally, someone who understands!*
**[10:16] ---**
Mr. Shinomiya,
**[10:17] ---**
if we're to convince Mr. Hoshina
to escape, where would it be to?
**[10:22] ---**
He should give up
on going south and go north.
**[10:25] ---**
Then he can link with us and we would
build a strong line of defense. But…
**[10:30] ---**
I'll kill 100 men before I die!
**[10:32] ---**
-Yeah!
-That's my lord!
**[10:35] ---**
Yasaburo won't listen
no matter what I say.
**[10:38] ---**
Of course, he wants to protect his land.
**[10:40] ---**
But ever since he was young,
that guy goes berserk when he gets angry.
**[10:44] ---**
He's a good guy who can get work done
when he's calm.
**[10:47] ---**
Let's die! Let's die!
**[10:48] ---**
-Yeah!
-Will you keep him from dying?
**[10:51] ---**
If you need more men, I'll cover you.
**[10:54] ---**
Hey, Mr. Messenger!
**[10:57] ---**
Please tell Myojin that
Yasaburo Hoshina proudly fought
**[11:01] ---**
under the name of the Suwa Sect
and died with honor!
**[11:07] ---**
Everyone, what do I do?
**[11:09] ---**
I suppose we must let them fight.
**[11:11] ---**
Right? We've gotta let them
spill some blood.
**[11:14] ---**
HOSHINA'S ARMY 159 SOLDIERS
**[11:15] ---**
The disparity in numbers is enough that
they could be destroyed in one day,
**[11:18] ---**
but let's hold out with our own forces
until sunset.
**[11:19] ---**
PROVINCIAL OFFICIAL
AND GOVERNOR'S
**[11:20] ---**
ALLIED ARMY 580 SOLDIERS
**[11:21] ---**
Once Hoshina and his men are tired
from a day of fighting,
**[11:25] ---**
you will convince them to escape
to the north before morning.
**[11:27] ---**
Running away means victory.
**[11:29] ---**
You're the only one who would be happy
about such a winning condition.
**[11:34] ---**
All right. Let's hurry
and begin our preparations.
**[11:40] ---**
The dogs are barking.
**[11:43] ---**
With just my one strategy,
their bodies pile up.
**[11:47] ---**
It's a sinful indulgence
I can't enjoy within the imperial court.
**[11:51] ---**
OFFICIAL
**[11:55] ---**
*The court noble should*
*just stand back and watch*
**[11:57] ---**
*without trying to give commands.*
**[11:59] ---**
*It's an honor to be the guard*
*of a provincial official, Ichikawa!*
**[12:02] ---**
*It's frustrating that I can't go*
*because of my swollen eye.*
**[12:05] ---**
*You were definitely just closing your eye!*
**[12:07] ---**
-*I know you ran away…*
-*Ow, ow, ow… My eye.*
**[12:09] ---**
-*…because it was troublesome, Sadamune.*
-Now!
**[12:12] ---**
It's time for a bloodbath for the traitors
who dare reject my world!
**[12:16] ---**
Go, Yonemaru!
**[12:18] ---**
Ready!
**[12:23] ---**
Fire!
**[12:25] ---**
LEADER OF WARRIORS
UNDER THE PROVINCIAL OFFICIAL
**[12:26] ---**
YONEMARU
**[12:29] ---**
First, as it's a standard tactic,
they started by firing arrows.
**[12:33] ---**
After they weaken our forces,
they'll charge with a large army!
**[12:36] ---**
Very well!
**[12:38] ---**
I'll take as many of you as possible
to the grave!
**[12:42] ---**
Aren't they going to counterattack?
**[12:45] ---**
Do they not have the guts?
**[12:49] ---**
What's this? Smoke?
**[12:52] ---**
I can't see the opposite shore.
**[12:53] ---**
We can't aim like this.
**[12:54] ---**
Who is making a bonfire upwind?
**[12:59] ---**
Man, there's endless straw to burn
from the recent barley harvest.
**[13:03] ---**
Hey! It's that fox!
**[13:05] ---**
The enemy is interfering!
Kill him and put out the fire!
**[13:11] ---**
You're here.
**[13:15] ---**
How dare you? Where did you go?
**[13:17] ---**
Look, over there!
**[13:19] ---**
He lit a fire up there, too!
**[13:21] ---**
Go ahead, waste all your men and time
putting it out.
**[13:24] ---**
Oops.
**[13:27] ---**
Hey! If you can't aim,
cross the river and attack!
**[13:33] ---**
Yonemaru!
**[13:35] ---**
Go! Attack!
**[13:52] ---**
Men!
**[13:54] ---**
Attack!
**[13:59] ---**
*We were able to hold them off,*
*but there are still too many of them.*
**[14:05] ---**
*Can we make it until sundown?*
**[14:12] ---**
Don't bother with such small fry, old man!
**[14:14] ---**
The enemy keeps coming and coming!
**[14:17] ---**
Come on! Who's next? You lackeys!
**[14:21] ---**
Not bad, Mr. Messenger's retainer!
**[14:24] ---**
*Kojiro! Thank you!*
**[14:26] ---**
*If you fight bravely,*
*the Hoshina party might reconsider!*
**[14:30] ---**
*They may even listen to our request*
*to withdraw.*
**[14:33] ---**
-Get 'em!
-Amazing!
**[14:35] ---**
What a noble spirit!
**[14:38] ---**
That child. Will he die alongside us?
**[14:42] ---**
What?
**[14:43] ---**
We can't lose just yet!
**[14:45] ---**
Show them how a samurai meets his end!
**[14:48] ---**
Isn't it beautiful, Mr. Messenger?
**[14:50] ---**
A happy and eager face of a samurai
when he chooses death!
**[15:03] ---**
Who do you think
Kojiro is risking his life for?
**[15:06] ---**
-What?
-Please cease the battle, Mr. Hoshina.
**[15:11] ---**
I don't have the slightest interest
in how you die.
**[15:19] ---**
That was rough! I've got cuts all over!
**[15:22] ---**
Great work. I've got some medicine
from Shizuku for you.
**[15:26] ---**
The enemy also retreated to the opposite
shore now that the sun has set.
**[15:29] ---**
It's a miracle that
we didn't get wiped out.
**[15:32] ---**
-We were so close…
-Yeah.
**[15:33] ---**
Any ordinary army would have
been annihilated.
**[15:35] ---**
These guys mean business
with hand-to-hand combat.
**[15:39] ---**
The Hoshina party is so strong.
**[15:42] ---**
If they survive, they'll become
a great force for the Young Lord.
**[15:46] ---**
Here, eat. Fill up
and prepare for the battle tomorrow.
**[15:51] ---**
I'm all right. I had plenty of raw meat
on the battlefield.
**[15:55] ---**
That guy is more scary than he is strong!
**[15:59] ---**
It's a fight! Lord Hoshina drew his sword
at the messenger child!
**[16:04] ---**
You dare say you're not interested
in how we die.
**[16:07] ---**
What do you mean by that, Mr. Messenger?
**[16:10] ---**
I survived today against all odds
out of rage.
**[16:14] ---**
Be grateful that you're alive, then.
**[16:17] ---**
You know, it's a shame
if you can't die when you should.
**[16:21] ---**
What's going on?
**[16:23] ---**
Pride! Honor!
**[16:25] ---**
When a man has something to protect,
sometimes he must die!
**[16:31] ---**
You children wouldn't understand!
**[16:34] ---**
The samurai who chooses a perfect death
will be praised by people for generations!
**[16:41] ---**
BURRRP
**[16:42] ---**
That's why I choose pride in exchange
for my life!
**[16:47] ---**
To honor my clan forever!
**[16:49] ---**
*It can be said that the Hojo clan,*
*most of whom died in combat*
**[16:53] ---**
*or took their own lives,*
*rather than run away,*
**[16:56] ---**
*stepped down from their throne*
*most gracefully.*
**[17:00] ---**
*However, the Hojo's integrity was*
*rarely praised by later generations.*
**[17:06] ---**
*Most people don't care*
*if others died gracefully or not.*
**[17:10] ---**
Of course, even Myojin will praise
our death with tears!
**[17:18] ---**
Have you sobered up?
**[17:25] ---**
You're all just intoxicated by the idea
of yourselves dying beautifully.
**[17:29] ---**
If you survive,
**[17:31] ---**
you could continue resisting
against the evil provincial official.
**[17:33] ---**
You could be a beacon of hope
for the oppressed.
**[17:37] ---**
Dying gracefully will leave us
with nothing!
**[17:40] ---**
Powerless children will be left, at best.
**[17:47] ---**
Being prepared to lay down your life may
sound noble,
**[17:50] ---**
but you ignored the oppressed
and got my retainers involved!
**[17:54] ---**
There's nothing noble about the face
of a samurai dying selfishly!
**[17:58] ---**
Actually, all your faces are annoying!
**[18:04] ---**
Annoying?
**[18:05] ---**
What is he saying?
**[18:07] ---**
Now you come to your senses!
**[18:11] ---**
Hey, the brat's acting weird.
**[18:16] ---**
Is he actually drunk
from the sake that splashed on him?
**[18:21] ---**
You fool.
**[18:24] ---**
Here's your punishment!
**[18:28] ---**
I see! Using his heaven-sent running-away
muscles to attack with his butt!
**[18:33] ---**
A new special move
only the Young Lord can do!
**[18:36] ---**
He looks like a shrimp.
**[18:38] ---**
So lame.
**[18:39] ---**
All right, hold on! I've sobered up!
**[18:44] ---**
Yasaburo, Myojin sent the boy
to stop the battle.
**[18:49] ---**
Before anything, please stop this butt!
**[18:53] ---**
Thanks to the men Mr. Messenger's brought,
**[18:56] ---**
we were able to just hold out today.
**[18:58] ---**
But it won't work a second time.
**[19:00] ---**
If we fight again tomorrow,
we will definitely be annihilated.
**[19:04] ---**
What are you going to do?
**[19:12] ---**
Fine.
**[19:14] ---**
We will go north and plan for a comeback
as you say, Shinomiya.
**[19:21] ---**
Hey.
**[19:22] ---**
-How old is that child?
-He's nine.
**[19:24] ---**
A nine-year-old child who doesn't
even know the taste of alcohol
**[19:27] ---**
speaks as if he has experienced
more carnage than me.
**[19:33] ---**
What a strange child.
**[19:35] ---**
Now that it's decided,
let's retreat at full speed!
**[19:38] ---**
If you have family,
bring them immediately!
**[19:41] ---**
Do not light torches
so as to remain hidden!
**[19:43] ---**
Sir!
**[19:46] ---**
What a mess!
**[19:47] ---**
We had such a difference in numbers,
and you still couldn't kill them all!
**[19:52] ---**
-Why? Why? Tell me! Why? Why?
-I apologize!
**[19:55] ---**
Good news, my provincial official.
**[19:57] ---**
I have heard they are gathering families.
**[20:02] ---**
They may retreat any time now.
**[20:04] ---**
How fortunate! If they retreat, the
territory will be yours without a fight.
**[20:09] ---**
Are you stupid, Ichikawa?
**[20:11] ---**
If they're retreating,
go chase and kill them!
**[20:14] ---**
If we let them go now, they will bare
their fangs again, will they not?
**[20:17] ---**
My territory must be in eternal peace!
**[20:20] ---**
Wait! There are strange spy-like children
among the Suwa!
**[20:26] ---**
Whenever they're involved,
misfortune will fall!
**[20:29] ---**
You shouldn't take any unnecessary risks.
**[20:31] ---**
Then it makes even more sense!
**[20:33] ---**
If we don't kill Hoshina and the children,
we will be in trouble!
**[20:37] ---**
In this war,
we lose if we let them escape!
**[20:43] ---**
My head and my butt hurt for some reason.
**[20:45] ---**
You have a hangover
from getting splashed with alcohol?
**[20:48] ---**
Do you still remember Fubuki's plans?
**[20:52] ---**
I know the plan,
**[20:54] ---**
but I don't remember how
I convinced Mr. Hoshina to escape.
**[21:00] ---**
You gave him a stern scolding.
**[21:03] ---**
It's like you've got him under your thumb.
**[21:07] ---**
Huh. I guess I didn't do too bad.
**[21:12] ---**
-Kojiro.
-Yes?
**[21:15] ---**
I understand myself better now
after getting angry at Mr. Hoshina
**[21:18] ---**
for trying to die prematurely.
**[21:21] ---**
I don't want to die, no matter what.
**[21:24] ---**
I'd rather live exuberantly until death
rather than have the time to kill myself.
**[21:28] ---**
That would be a different path
than my clan.
**[21:31] ---**
It's probably not even
the way of a samurai.
**[21:35] ---**
Will you come with me
even if I'm ungraceful?
**[21:42] ---**
Of course. I'll support how you live,
not how you die.
**[21:53] ---**
Of course.
They won't let us escape so easily.
**[21:58] ---**
Running away means victory
in this war of retreat.
**[22:01] ---**
Now, let's run!

FINAL EPISODE
**[01:35] ---**
*Though I see a future where you live,*
*it is not guaranteed.*
**[01:42] ---**
*Naturally, if you neglect*
*the fight for survival, you will die.*
**[01:49] ---**
*But the experience that you'll gain*
*by going into battle is immeasurable.*
**[01:56] ---**
*I pray for your safe return,*
*Lord Tokiyuki.*
**[01:59] ---**
Let the women and children escape first!
**[02:01] ---**
If they can escape
through the defensive barriers,
**[02:03] ---**
we can hold off
the great enemy army there!
**[02:05] ---**
HOSHINA'S ARMY
PROVINCIAL OFFICIAL'S ARMY
**[02:07] ---**
Turn around!
**[02:09] ---**
We'll defend as one unit
against the enemy from the rear!
**[02:11] ---**
Listen, grunts!
The idiots are turning back!
**[02:17] ---**
Provincial official's orders!
**[02:20] ---**
Kill all the men!
**[02:21] ---**
We'll divide the women, children,
and the loot equally!
**[02:25] ---**

**[02:26] ---**
BURNING DEMON BRIGADE
PROVINCIAL OFFICIAL'S GUARD
**[02:28] ---**
HIS FACE LOOKS LIKE THIS
**[02:29] ---**
According to Shizuku,
**[02:31] ---**
the one named Yonemaru Wada is leading
the provincial official's private force.
**[02:34] ---**
A FEW HOURS EARLIER
WITHIN THE HOSHINA PARTY CAMP
**[02:36] ---**
If we can just take him down, we'll
weaken the provincial official's army.
**[02:41] ---**
Take him down?
**[02:42] ---**
You've got it backwards, Kojiro.
**[02:44] ---**
First, we'll take advantage of him,
then weaken his army.
**[02:51] ---**
Come on! Come on!
Follow me! Climb that mountain!
**[02:56] ---**
What?
**[02:58] ---**
Weren't we all going to chase down
the Hoshina party together?
**[03:01] ---**
You idiots!
**[03:02] ---**
We can surround the enemy from behind
if we go over the mountain!
**[03:05] ---**
We can annihilate them
with a pincer attack!
**[03:08] ---**
Follow me now or I'll kill you, got it?
**[03:11] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:12] ---**
This battle of retreat
will be on flat land.
**[03:16] ---**
Tactics like ambushes can't be used,
**[03:18] ---**
which puts the outnumbered Hoshina party
at a great disadvantage.
**[03:21] ---**
In this case,
we want to divide the enemy's troops.
**[03:25] ---**
And one of us has what it takes!
**[03:30] ---**
Keep up with Lord Yonemaru!
**[03:32] ---**
Keep climbing!
**[03:33] ---**
What's happening?
**[03:35] ---**
Lord Yonemaru, what is this?
**[03:37] ---**
Hey.
**[03:38] ---**
-Lord Yonemaru, please direct us!
-Hey… Hey… Hey… Hey?
**[03:45] ---**
Hey?
**[03:45] ---**
Hey, who am I again?
**[03:47] ---**
POP
**[03:47] ---**
Who the hell are you?
**[03:49] ---**
Hup.
**[03:50] ---**
I see. Yesterday, you memorized
how he looks to morph into him.
**[03:58] ---**
Mr. Messenger's retainers
aren't too shabby.
**[04:03] ---**
I get it.
**[04:05] ---**
Kawanakajima's Suwa party are
all highly skilled.
**[04:11] ---**
How do you like that, Mr. Messenger?
**[04:13] ---**
We're strong when resigned to die,
**[04:16] ---**
and we're also strong
when we are willed to live!
**[04:19] ---**
Yes.
**[04:21] ---**
Even so… Escaping won't be easy.
**[04:27] ---**
After the women and children
relocate somewhere safe,
**[04:29] ---**
we have to shake off the enemy and escape.
**[04:33] ---**
Come to think of it,
where's your vigorous friend?
**[04:38] ---**
I've ordered Kojiro
to move of his own accord.
**[04:42] ---**
I'm sure he'll be of great help
to you and your men.
**[04:48] ---**
*I'll perform a hit-and-run.*
**[04:50] ---**
*At my age,*
*I'm at a disadvantage against adults.*
**[04:54] ---**
*I'll utilize my small stature*
*to escape to high ground*
**[04:57] ---**
*and seek allies who need my assistance.*
**[05:03] ---**
*I'll deliver an effective blow*
*then retreat to that high ground.*
**[05:08] ---**
*By repeating this tactic, I've begun*
*to see the dynamic of the entire battle*
**[05:12] ---**
*and where I should fight next.*
**[05:16] ---**
*I want help from the Hoshina party.*
**[05:18] ---**
*I need four or five men.*
**[05:20] ---**
Hey, mister! Please come with me!
**[05:24] ---**
You, the old man
with focus lines all over your face!
**[05:28] ---**
Focus lines all over my face?
**[05:29] ---**
Don't make a straight face now.
It's confusing!
**[05:32] ---**
You, the geezer with rectangular features
all over, come with me too.
**[05:35] ---**
Rectangular features all over?
**[05:38] ---**
I guess that's not me then.
**[05:39] ---**
Ugh, don't suddenly add round elements!
Now I can't compare you to anything!
**[05:44] ---**
What about me?
**[05:45] ---**
Compare me to something!
**[05:46] ---**
I don't know! You're some kind of monster!
**[05:49] ---**
Just come with me!
**[05:50] ---**
The enemy is moving along the riverbank
**[05:52] ---**
aiming for the women
and children behind us.
**[05:54] ---**
Let's band together
and invade them from the side!
**[06:03] ---**
Not a damn chance!
**[06:05] ---**
Nice work, baldy!
**[06:07] ---**
I'm not bald! Take a good look!
**[06:09] ---**
Hair grows on the back of my head,
but I shave it off!
**[06:11] ---**
You guys are annoying!
**[06:14] ---**
*Actually, it's my fault*
*for not remembering my allies' names.*
**[06:18] ---**
*From now on, I'll make*
*a round of hellos during mealtime.*
**[06:23] ---**
Fubuki!
**[06:25] ---**
Why are you here?
**[06:27] ---**
Your waiting post is further that way.
**[06:33] ---**
Fubuki!
**[06:37] ---**
Fubuki! Get a hold of yourself!
**[06:39] ---**
Are you all right? Hey!
**[06:43] ---**
I'm so hungry. I can't move.
**[06:47] ---**
You're a dumb flake, aren't you?
**[06:49] ---**
You sure do need a lot of calories
in exchange for being smart!
**[06:52] ---**
Here, take this fresh manju.
**[06:54] ---**
All right, I'm recharged and ready to go!
**[06:56] ---**
Hurry up and go back to your waiting post.
**[06:59] ---**
Please… Isn't your strategy supposed to be
the cornerstone of the Elusive Warriors?
**[07:04] ---**
I'm not special.
**[07:05] ---**
Anyone can strategize if you just learn.
**[07:09] ---**
You run madly around the battlefield,
fighting selflessly,
**[07:12] ---**
initiating conversations
and taking care of allies.
**[07:16] ---**
It's a general like that who can become
the cornerstone of a party.
**[07:19] ---**
Kojiro, you are a solid adjutant general
of the Elusive Warriors.
**[07:32] ---**
Being complimented by someone overflowing
with talent only comes across as sarcasm.
**[07:42] ---**
Old man with both rectangular
and circular features
**[07:44] ---**
and the other guy that's mostly bald
**[07:46] ---**
that shaves the little hair
that is growing on the back of his head!
**[07:49] ---**
Hey.
**[07:51] ---**
You destroyed my independent unit.
**[07:56] ---**
You'll meet your end for this.
**[08:04] ---**
You're an apprentice
at Suwa Grand Shrine, huh?
**[08:07] ---**
Not that it's somethin'
to write home about.
**[08:11] ---**
Shut up, pig.
**[08:13] ---**
I'll scatter your smelly fat
around Chikuma River.
**[08:18] ---**
-Let the best man win!
-Let the best man win!
**[08:24] ---**
*The top speed for*
*the fastest native Japanese horses*
**[08:26] ---**
*is about 40 kilometers per hour,*
**[08:28] ---**
*which is roughly the same speed as*
*the fastest punch of a professional boxer.*
**[08:33] ---**
*This means that just by bracing one's*
*curved sword and charging on a horse,*
**[08:38] ---**
*a blade is bound to come flying*
*at the opponent*
**[08:40] ---**
*at the speed of the world's fastest jab.*
**[08:52] ---**
*You're kidding…*
**[08:55] ---**
Whoa.
**[08:58] ---**
What happened, chump?
**[09:00] ---**
You talk big,
but are you as puny as you look?
**[09:04] ---**
Ha!
**[09:07] ---**
*We have a difference in strength,*
**[09:09] ---**
-*weight…*
-Come on, come on!
**[09:11] ---**
-*…and relative speed.*
-Come at me! Come on!
**[09:13] ---**
Come on!
**[09:14] ---**
Take this!
**[09:18] ---**
*I can't even block*
*his attacks effectively.*
**[09:21] ---**
Kojiro!
**[09:22] ---**
Get back!
**[09:23] ---**
You're no physical match on horseback!
**[09:26] ---**
Just run!
**[09:33] ---**
*If I pull out,*
*it's over for those old geezers.*
**[09:36] ---**
*Yonemaru will remain as*
*the only one on horseback.*
**[09:43] ---**
*The infantry are*
*at a complete disadvantage*
**[09:45] ---**
*compared to the cavalry*
*in terms of speed and strength.*
**[09:49] ---**
*That's why he targeted*
*the two cavalrymen first.*
**[09:52] ---**
*If I give up now,*
*that pig will begin his rampage!*
**[10:07] ---**
He weakens with every attack.
**[10:11] ---**
He doesn't have the strength
to block my next strike.
**[10:16] ---**
Hey! Kojiro!
**[10:19] ---**
Don't worry about me!
**[10:20] ---**
Finish the remaining enemy!
**[10:26] ---**
Why does everyone know my name anyways?
**[10:30] ---**
Oh, that's because Mr. Messenger
kept calling your name yesterday.
**[10:36] ---**
*Kojiro! Nice, Kojiro!*
**[10:39] ---**
*Don't you dare die!*
**[10:41] ---**
*Look, that's my retainer Kojiro!*
**[10:44] ---**
*That's my friend Kojiro*
*killing it out there!*
**[10:49] ---**
So embarrassing…
**[10:53] ---**
*But…*
**[10:55] ---**
*Kojiro!*
**[11:02] ---**
Kojiro!
**[11:04] ---**
*I have to get in at least one blow*
**[11:07] ---**
*so that I don't embarrass my lord!*
**[11:20] ---**
*No way.*
**[11:22] ---**
*How did someone so large dodge that?*
**[11:26] ---**
Damn it… Little bastard!
**[11:28] ---**
You think you're a real warrior?
**[11:31] ---**
You'll pay for this!
**[11:36] ---**
*A general who can lead an army*
*sure is something else…*
**[11:40] ---**
*The spirit of a general*
*is to be boisterous, huh.*
**[11:45] ---**
*I guess I'll try it next time.*
**[11:48] ---**
*But, damn… My strength… is gone…*
**[12:07] ---**
Oy, kid.
**[12:16] ---**
Don't give out now.
**[12:17] ---**
I can't let you die so easily.
**[12:20] ---**
First I'll rip your arms off one by one…
**[12:26] ---**
You let your guard down
and stopped your horse, didn't you?
**[12:29] ---**
You've got nobody to help you now!
**[12:34] ---**
Get him, Kojiro!
**[12:36] ---**
He's your kill!
**[12:39] ---**
*Oh, man…*
**[12:41] ---**
*It's fun!*
**[12:43] ---**
*Fighting as a unit is fun!*
**[12:48] ---**
I am Kojiro of the Elusive Warriors!
**[12:50] ---**
I'll take your head and your power!
**[12:53] ---**
Take this!
**[12:59] ---**
PROVINCIAL OFFICIAL'S MAIN ARMY
**[13:01] ---**
Why are you all just standing there?
**[13:03] ---**
I can't see through this damn fog!
**[13:05] ---**
The enemy's rear guard
is fighting with all their might.
**[13:08] ---**
They're stuck in a back-and-forth.
**[13:10] ---**
Well, we'll be able to crush them
with our numbers,
**[13:13] ---**
though the women and children
will get away at this rate.
**[13:16] ---**
What? Chase after them, Ichikawa!
**[13:19] ---**
I'll carefully pick my favorite women
to be a part of my paradise!
**[13:23] ---**
WOMEN
**[13:24] ---**
But if we go, you will be left with no…
**[13:28] ---**
There's no need for guards
when the enemy are running away!
**[13:32] ---**
Do you not understand military strategy,
you country bumpkin?
**[13:35] ---**
OFFICIAL
**[13:36] ---**
Is your own life so precious?
**[13:38] ---**
If you're a soldier,
go fight with your life on the line!
**[13:41] ---**
Tsk.
**[13:42] ---**
Great…
**[13:51] ---**
Lord Hoshina!
**[13:52] ---**
All the women and children
escaped to the safe zone!
**[13:55] ---**
Good!
**[13:56] ---**
Ring the bell
to signal the army's retreat!
**[13:59] ---**
Only the rear guard should stay
to distract the enemy!
**[14:02] ---**
Mr. Messenger! You've done enough.
**[14:05] ---**
Run!
**[14:07] ---**
I cannot, Mr. Hoshina.
**[14:10] ---**
I must take responsibility for
instructing you and your men to escape.
**[14:15] ---**
It's not right that I come this far
**[14:16] ---**
and be the only one who does not taste
the fear of being chased…
**[14:19] ---**
Wow…
**[14:21] ---**
Mr. Messenger, you care about us so much…
**[14:24] ---**
*It would be a waste!*
**[14:25] ---**
Withdraw! Withdraw!
**[14:27] ---**
Oy! It's the chime to withdraw. Run!
**[14:32] ---**
Okay.

**[14:36] ---**
Hoshina's army has begun to withdraw!
**[14:38] ---**
Slice them from behind!
**[14:41] ---**
*Zigzagging and firing backwards?*
**[14:44] ---**
*I can't move forward easily*
*with horses and arrows in the way.*
**[14:48] ---**
*That damn brat!*
**[14:50] ---**
*Even though we're almost winning…*
**[14:53] ---**
Sorry, but I'm not dying
from a fatal shot to my vitals.
**[14:58] ---**
*Once the enemy begins to think about*
*the rewards for winning the war,*
**[15:02] ---**
*they will no longer risk their lives*
*at the front lines.*
**[15:06] ---**
*Furthermore, as for the lord retreating*
*as the helm of the rear guard,*
**[15:09] ---**
*the most perilous position…*
**[15:11] ---**
Brilliant! Mr. Messenger.
**[15:16] ---**
Mr. Messenger!
**[15:18] ---**
*…you will earn immense trust*
*from their allies.*
**[15:23] ---**
*Meanwhile, I'll finish the war*
*with my own blade!*
**[15:26] ---**
*Crap!*
**[15:27] ---**
*He's aiming for the provincial official!*
**[15:30] ---**
*The blame will fall on me.*
*They'll kill me!*
**[15:33] ---**
My provincial official!
Incoming from the right!
**[15:36] ---**
What?
**[15:37] ---**
That incapable Ichikawa
is screaming something.
**[15:41] ---**
He's still chickening out
after coming this far?
**[15:44] ---**
*Choosing the moment we'd leave*
*the provincial official's guard!*
**[15:47] ---**
*The morning mist hiding his location!*
**[15:49] ---**
*The army's footsteps masking his approach!*
**[15:52] ---**
*Did he calculate all of this?*
**[15:56] ---**
Don't come back, coward!
**[15:58] ---**
If you don't obey my tactics…
**[16:02] ---**
Huh?
**[16:10] ---**
My provincial official! Are you all right?
**[16:12] ---**
He cut me!
**[16:14] ---**
He cut me!
**[16:16] ---**
He tried to kill me, the provincial
official appointed by the Emperor!
**[16:23] ---**
*Killing him would be a poor plan.*
**[16:25] ---**
*An incompetent enemy general*
*is more useful alive.*
**[16:28] ---**
My provincial official!
**[16:30] ---**
Beyond the river!
**[16:32] ---**
There are large shadows of flags!
**[16:34] ---**
We don't have allies there!
**[16:38] ---**
Another troop coming for my head!
**[16:42] ---**
Calm down.
**[16:43] ---**
There's no sound of soldiers moving.
**[16:45] ---**
They may have just raised flags
to trick us.
**[16:47] ---**
You idiot!
**[16:49] ---**
It looks like they're about to charge!
**[16:51] ---**
Hurry, command Yonemaru's army back here!
**[16:53] ---**
Sound the drums to signal withdrawal!
**[16:59] ---**
*Damn provincial official!*
**[17:01] ---**
Setaro! Take Yonemaru's place
and lead our soldiers to the front lines!
**[17:05] ---**
Sir!
**[17:06] ---**
HOSHINA TERRITORY
**[17:07] ---**
Once you drive Hoshina beyond his barrier,
**[17:09] ---**
build another one of our own
to secure the territory.
**[17:12] ---**
PROVINCIAL OFFICIAL'S TERRITORY
**[17:14] ---**
*Our easy victory is ruined because of him!*
**[17:18] ---**
*This provincial official is*
*a burden on us.*
**[17:22] ---**
Tsk.
**[17:24] ---**
Oh! The enemy is withdrawing!
**[17:28] ---**
*Fubuki's strategy was a success!*
**[17:31] ---**
They'll come to attack us once
they realize the standards are decoys.
**[17:35] ---**
Let's run past the barrier while we can!
**[17:37] ---**
All right!
**[17:52] ---**
My lord!
**[17:53] ---**
Kojiro!
**[17:55] ---**
-You took quite a while.
-Huh?
**[17:58] ---**
You got the kill, right?
**[18:00] ---**
Fubuki!
**[18:01] ---**
It was amazing.
**[18:02] ---**
He took down Yonemaru.
**[18:04] ---**
Well done!
**[18:06] ---**
Where is his head for proof?
**[18:11] ---**
I left him with it.
**[18:13] ---**
He taught me a lot.
**[18:17] ---**
Even if I did have his head,
you can't give me a reward, right?
**[18:22] ---**
Since you just lost half your territory.
**[18:24] ---**
Shut up.
**[18:26] ---**
It's true.
**[18:28] ---**
Anyhow…
**[18:30] ---**
Losing has never felt so good.
**[18:35] ---**
Lord Hoshina!
**[18:36] ---**
Mr. Messenger!
**[18:37] ---**
Lord Hoshina, you're safe!
**[18:39] ---**
Mr. Messenger!
**[18:41] ---**
Lord Hoshina did it again!
**[18:43] ---**
We lost our territory,
but it's as if we won.
**[18:49] ---**
We get to see these smiles
because we escaped and survived.
**[18:57] ---**
*Afterwards, Hoshina ruled*
*a small area in northern Shinano,*
**[19:00] ---**
*and he was driven out to the south.*
**[19:05] ---**
*Lords often change*
*as time passes. However…*
**[19:08] ---**
Boing.
**[19:12] ---**
*By skillfully overcoming crises*
*time and time again,*
**[19:14] ---**
-*the Hoshina party became…*
-Good work!
**[19:16] ---**
*…a resilient feudal lord lineage*
*that endured until the Meiji era.*
**[19:19] ---**
*And more importantly for Tokiyuki,*
**[19:22] ---**
*they would become a crucial military force*
*in the nearing uprising.*
**[19:28] ---**
Please let Myojin know that we,
the Hoshina party,
**[19:31] ---**
were saved by Mr. Messenger
and his retainers.
**[19:35] ---**
Let him know that we'll treasure
the precious life we were given
**[19:38] ---**
whether by losing or escaping, and we
shall dedicate our lives to serve Myojin.
**[19:45] ---**
Yes.
**[19:46] ---**
GRUMBLE
**[19:48] ---**
Mr. Messenger,
please stop by our territory.
**[19:52] ---**
We don't have much,
but we want to repay you.
**[19:56] ---**
Dinner!
**[20:00] ---**
You know, brat,
it's rude to refuse a gift.
**[20:06] ---**
I want to return quickly
to let them know we're safe.
**[20:09] ---**
Everyone's probably worried.
**[20:11] ---**
You can stay here by yourself, you know.
**[20:13] ---**
The Young Lord only needs us as guards.
**[20:16] ---**
I was given a gift, as well, so…
**[20:20] ---**
Tsk. Goody Two-shoes.
**[20:23] ---**
Thank you.
**[20:24] ---**
Kojiro, Fubuki, Genba.
**[20:28] ---**
Oh, I don't need
a thank-you dinner or anything…
**[20:38] ---**
Okay!
**[20:39] ---**
My lord, you performed brilliantly.
**[20:42] ---**
You owe me a lot of money for this war.
**[20:56] ---**
Oh, I fell asleep.
**[20:59] ---**
Father?
**[21:02] ---**
The war is over.
**[21:04] ---**
Lord Tokiyuki will return soon.
**[21:10] ---**
I'm so glad the Young Lord is safe!
**[21:13] ---**
Let's celebrate when he returns.
**[21:14] ---**
Yes! Let's make a lot of delicious food!
**[21:17] ---**
We have to prepare before he returns.
**[21:19] ---**
Let's cook some meat to give him energy.
**[21:21] ---**
Don't blow it into too many pieces.
**[21:25] ---**
Let's continue to build alliances!
**[21:27] ---**
We'll turn samurai who want to die
**[21:29] ---**
into samurai who want to live
and fight with us!
**[21:32] ---**
Huh?
**[21:41] ---**
What happened? Is there an enemy?
What's gotten into you?
**[21:44] ---**
There's a rainbow.
**[21:46] ---**
Yes, I see it too.
**[21:47] ---**
Hey, don't spray it on me.
**[22:04] ---**
THE ELUSIVE SAMURAI
**[23:38] ---**
*Let's go!*
