    THE ELUSIVE
     SAMURAI
[01:25] ---
    THE ELUSIVE
     SAMURAI
[01:54] ---
    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] ---
    EPISODE 3 (YEAR OF 1333):
     A FOREST INHABITED BY A GOD
[23:39] ---
    Let's go!
