[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.
