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] ---**
NANBOKUCHO GAME OF TAG
**[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.
**[14:33] ---**
STAB STAB STAB
**[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!*
