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] ---
