[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.

    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.
