THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
[01:25] ---
THE ELUSIVE
SAMURAI
[01:33] ---
The true way to use a real sword
is not by stabbing forcefully.
[01:38] ---
It's much like using
a kitchen knife or a saw.
[01:44] ---
The blade cuts the best when it is pulled.
[01:49] ---
To cut as you retreat.
[01:51] ---
Don't you think it's the best technique
for an elusive person like you?
[01:55] ---
But I couldn't take a life
with this method.
[01:59] ---
At most, I could cut hide or meat.
[02:02] ---
That's okay.
[02:04] ---
That's precisely what makes it
the Elusive Sword.
[02:12] ---
Your raised left hand
will serve as a guide.
[02:15] ---
Wait for the moment when your enemy's
blade passes between your hand and sword.
[02:23] ---
Here he comes!
[02:25] ---
Twist my upper body counterclockwise.
[02:27] ---
Let the weight of the sword
do the work as I lower it.
[02:30] ---
Pull the blade to the right
[02:32] ---
and retreat!
[02:41] ---
My inner forearm.
[02:43] ---
I don't have any armor here
because it's a difficult spot to aim for,
[02:46] ---
and it impedes my movement.
[02:50] ---
You know the weak points
of an armored warrior well.
[02:54] ---
But it's not a terrible weakness.
[02:57] ---
It'll take quite some time for me to lose
consciousness with just a bleeding wrist.
[03:03] ---
You think I won't kill you
before that happens?
[03:10] ---
In this small room!
[03:15] ---
I'll corner you slow and steady.
[03:20] ---
I can just take my time to tend
to my wound after I cut you into pieces.
[03:34] ---
Why did I shiver just now?
[03:42] ---
He's a naginata expert.
[03:44] ---
He won't let me get a single blow in!
[03:57] ---
You're light, small,
[03:59] ---
and lack experience!
[04:09] ---
You two will die here.
[04:11] ---
What a shame.
[04:13] ---
In ten years, you probably would have
become a skilled master.
[04:17] ---
If that were the case,
you could have known many pleasures.
[04:21] ---
The sophisticated pleasure of using your
body and strength to kick about the weak,
[04:26] ---
the pleasure of stealing,
the pleasure of taking a woman…
[04:31] ---
That's what my boss taught me
when he took me under his wing.
[04:36] ---
Something your virtuous leader
Yorishige Suwa can't do.
[04:45] ---
Lord Yorishige isn't…
[04:47] ---
Huh?
[04:49] ---
…our lord now.
[04:52] ---
Is that so?
[04:53] ---
Regardless of who you serve,
it's all the same.
[04:55] ---
Your lord is clueless.
[04:58] ---
They couldn't even teach you brats
about any fulfilling pleasures
[05:00] ---
and left you to die
for this worthless village.
[05:07] ---
So you shut up.
[05:08] ---
Am I spot-on?
[05:10] ---
Yeah, it's true.
[05:12] ---
Our lord is soft, naive,
and tends to run away.
[05:19] ---
But compared to you who has grown fat
by sacrificing the weak, my Big Brother,
[05:24] ---
who commands us to protect the weak,
has much more integrity as a warrior.
[05:31] ---
You're still here?
[05:33] ---
Resisting with a brat's toy
like the trash you are!
[05:38] ---
Persistent brat.
[05:39] ---
There's no way a mere child can penetrate
the defense of a grown man's naginata.
[05:48] ---
Stop calling me
[05:51] ---
a brat!
[05:57] ---
I can't be so carefree
to be thinking about the far future.
[06:01] ---
We have a year and a half
until Lord Yorishige's prophecy.
[06:05] ---
We won't be useful
in the Young Lord's great war
[06:09] ---
if we can't beat adults while we're ten.
[06:12] ---
What…
[06:19] ---
I can't believe I'm being defeated
by some nameless brats.
[06:24] ---
Go be with the demons in hell.
[06:27] ---
Our lord is Tokiyuki Hojo.
[06:30] ---
What?
[06:31] ---
Kamakura's…
[06:35] ---
rightful heir!
[06:41] ---
There's no way!
[07:00] ---
I can't hit him!
[07:12] ---
This is bad.
[07:13] ---
I have to stop the bleeding.
[07:43] ---
He's not only evading my sword,
but also my splattering blood?
[07:48] ---
Is he a monster?
[07:59] ---
A transforming swordsmanship!
[08:07] ---
It's rare to see one wield a blade
with such precision.
[08:11] ---
There must be someone
who taught you those techniques.
[08:14] ---
Who is your teacher?
[08:16] ---
I don't have to tell you.
[08:19] ---
A skilled hawk hides everything.
[08:22] ---
If you show your strength
within an organization,
[08:26] ---
you'll be taken advantage of
like the small fry and the core members.
[08:31] ---
Act like a clown and pander to the leader,
[08:34] ---
and you can be sure to enjoy
just the benefits.
[08:37] ---
BUDDHA
[08:38] ---
There is just one brief moment
when I have to use my sharpened talons.
[08:41] ---
The moment when I kill anyone
that recognizes them.
[08:45] ---
Or when I kill our boss
and take over this party.
[08:49] ---
To hide yourself is an art of survival
in times of chaos!
[08:53] ---
Now die and shut up!
[09:01] ---
To hide… huh.
[09:04] ---
Die!
[09:08] ---
There's an ordinary blade
that comes straight,
[09:10] ---
and a unique blade
in which one bends their wrist.
[09:13] ---
If you hide it well, your opponent won't
know which is coming until it's too late.
[09:18] ---
But with him, the height of his elbow is
[09:20] ---
slightly different
from the moment he pulls back his blade.
[09:23] ---
Which means he's not
sufficiently hiding his technique.
[09:28] ---
W-What?
[09:34] ---
That would be a formidable sword skill
if you could hide it completely,
[09:37] ---
but you don't understand how it works.
[09:43] ---
You're not hiding anything special
as I thought.
[09:47] ---
I'm disappointed.
[09:58] ---
He wields two swords
and is skilled in martial arts, too.
[10:02] ---
What else is this kid hiding?
[10:08] ---
Occupying this village and
the children's tactics are both valuable.
[10:15] ---
When I find a hidden treasure,
[10:18] ---
my forlorn body
is slightly brought back to life.
[10:25] ---
I'm drawn to him for some reason.
[10:28] ---
Because he's hiding something magnificent.
[10:42] ---
All right. That's enough from you.
[10:52] ---
Now.
[10:53] ---
How is it going, Chojumaru?
[11:24] ---
This is hopeless.
[11:26] ---
I'm going to die.
[11:28] ---
I'll lose too much blood
before I kill this kid.
[11:32] ---
It's useless. I'm fading.
[11:35] ---
My life ends here?
[11:40] ---
Father!
[11:42] ---
What do you mean
there's no territory for me to inherit?
[11:47] ---
I'm sorry.
[11:49] ---
The family has distributed the land
amongst the sons
[11:54] ---
over generations until
only this small plot remains.
[11:58] ---
From now on, like all the other families,
[12:00] ---
we'll give all our territory
to the eldest son.
[12:03] ---
You live here and help out
your older brother.
[12:08] ---
You're telling me
to become my brother's servant!
[12:23] ---
I've been studying martial arts
and the art of war
[12:26] ---
so that I can protect my own territory!
[12:30] ---
A warrior without a territory
is not a warrior at all.
[12:43] ---
If I wanted a place of my own,
I had no choice but to steal it.
[12:54] ---
It was hell from then on.
[12:58] ---
Somewhere along the way,
it became pleasurable to take from others.
[13:01] ---
I sold children.
[13:03] ---
I felt better about myself by sending them
to futures as dark as my own.
[13:08] ---
Though I was pursued,
I had nowhere to rest.
[13:11] ---
I thought I could reverse my fate
when I was recruited into a large battle.
[13:15] ---
But I was unable to
make a name for myself,
[13:17] ---
for I was on the losing side.
[13:24] ---
Your life is always hell, isn't it?
[13:28] ---
You should flee somewhere
where no one can chase you.
[13:32] ---
There must be a place
where the light shines.
[13:38] ---
Don't lie, Kusunoki.
[13:42] ---
There's no light anywhere.
[13:50] ---
What's this?
[13:52] ---
Something shines before me.
[14:07] ---
I can't win.
[14:10] ---
Someone who can laugh so purely
in this hellhole cannot be human.
[14:18] ---
He's even smiling upon someone like me?
[14:24] ---
My Buddha…
[14:38] ---
What started as a blade
of compassion had become
[14:41] ---
hell on earth
by the time the fight was over.
[14:47] ---
Is it a demon or a buddha that grants
[14:51] ---
the scoundrel of times of chaos
the death penalty?
[14:57] ---
Demon-heart Buddha Blade.
[15:04] ---
You're amazing, Young Lord.
[15:06] ---
The two of us barely stood a chance
against that monster.
[15:10] ---
It's all thanks
to the technique Fubuki taught me.
[15:13] ---
You're right.
[15:14] ---
Who would have thought
that it would be possible to defeat him
[15:16] ---
by simply cutting his inner forearm
and running from him?
[15:18] ---
The Cowardly Sword is impressive!
[15:20] ---
Don't call it that!
[15:22] ---
The enemies that remain should run away
[15:24] ---
when we spread the word
that their general is dead.
[15:26] ---
We're almost done…
[15:33] ---
Are you serious?
[15:34] ---
Sadamune's here!
[15:37] ---
You again, brat?
[15:43] ---
"You again"? That's our line!
[15:46] ---
You're the one invading others' territory!
[15:48] ---
Shut up! These are the times we live in!
[15:50] ---
Your eye… I want to feed it to a snake
and watch it swallow it whole.
[15:54] ---
-What's wrong with you?
-What's wrong with you?
[15:56] ---
Big-Eyed Monster, you're so persistent.
[15:58] ---
Don't call me a monster!
[16:00] ---
You basically are a monster
with those eyes!
[16:02] ---
What did you say about my godly eyes?
[16:03] ---
Leave it to Sadamune Ogasawara
to bring his reinforcements at this timing
[16:06] ---
from the village's front entrance.
He's got a keen perception of this war.
[16:11] ---
Our other allies are busy handling
the enemies that are already here.
[16:15] ---
We can't win like this.
[16:17] ---
SOUTH
[16:18] ---
There are no enemies
on the south end of this village.
[16:20] ---
We can gather our allies
and all escape from there…
[16:25] ---
What?
[16:27] ---
Enemy forces from the south, too?
[16:29] ---
Nope.
[16:32] ---
Here we go!
[16:36] ---
That fire!
[16:40] ---
Yes, they're reinforcements
from Suwa Grand Shrine.
[16:44] ---
They made it just in time.
[16:46] ---
Drat!
[16:48] ---
Retreat!
[16:49] ---
Only gather Shokan's soldiers
that are fighting nearby.
[16:52] ---
B-But, Sadamune…
[16:54] ---
We lack the preparation
to fight against Suwa's main army.
[17:04] ---
The war is happening outside, but there's
blood on the inside of the door?
[17:08] ---
Lord Yorishige, Sadamune
and his presumed army are evacuating!
[17:13] ---
Chase them away to the border.
[17:15] ---
Tokitsugu, clean up the bandits
around the village.
[17:17] ---
YORISHIGE'S SON
TOKITSUGU SUWA
[17:18] ---
Okay.
[17:21] ---
-They're getting away.
-Hi.
[17:23] ---
Genba!
[17:24] ---
You better be grateful.
[17:26] ---
We made it in time
because I rode the horse at full speed.
[17:30] ---
Well, when I saw
a curvy woman on the road,
[17:34] ---
I was shocked because
my nose started bleeding profusely.
[17:37] ---
I thought I was a goner.
[17:38] ---
Don't die!
[17:40] ---
-What about over there?
-There's no one.
[17:42] ---
-The enemy's over there.
-Right.
[17:44] ---
None here. Find them!
[17:49] ---
Mr. Yorishige.
[17:56] ---
I'm glad you're safe.
[18:00] ---
Yes.
[18:04] ---
That kinda hurts, Mr. Yorishige.
[18:20] ---
Sadamune. Shokan is…
[18:22] ---
He's got dumb luck.
[18:25] ---
He would've croaked if we stopped
the bleeding just a little bit later.
[18:29] ---
Why did you come for me?
[18:33] ---
We received word that you and your men
were wasting time committing a massacre.
[18:37] ---
Suwa's response isn't so stupid as
to let such an opportunity go unnoticed.
[18:43] ---
Who said to kill the villagers?
[18:45] ---
You don't get any taxes
from an uninhabited territory.
[18:48] ---
You idiot.
[18:51] ---
Punish me as you wish.
[18:53] ---
However, your strategic insight
this time was incredible.
[18:59] ---
I will give you a small territory,
so sharpen your fangs there.
[19:03] ---
Prepare for the decisive battle
against Suwa that will eventually come.
[19:07] ---
From this day forward,
you are prohibited from being a bandit.
[19:10] ---
Serve me only as a soldier.
[19:26] ---
Certainly.
[19:28] ---
I can tell his will to be a bandit
is gone from his eyes.
[19:31] ---
Did malice leave his body
along with the blood?
[19:36] ---
From then on,
rogues gradually fell under the control
[19:39] ---
of the increasingly powerful governing
feudal lords and eventually disappeared.
[19:45] ---
This era was the final stage
[19:50] ---
where the uninhibited
bandit samurai thrived.
[19:54] ---
There.
[19:56] ---
There we go.
[19:59] ---
Mr. Yorishige.
[20:01] ---
It's all thanks to Fubuki
that the village and I survived.
[20:06] ---
Please pay him a special sum
from Suwa Grand Shrine.
[20:11] ---
Oh, is that so?
[20:13] ---
Of course, we will pay him handsomely!
[20:16] ---
And one more thing.
[20:17] ---
I want Fubuki to join my party
as a retainer.
[20:20] ---
Splendid idea!
[20:22] ---
Wait, Chojumaru.
[20:25] ---
I want to be your friend, but becoming
a retainer is a different story.
[20:28] ---
I want to serve a lord
that can lead the country.
[20:32] ---
I would consider it
if I were to serve your Lord Suwa…
[20:36] ---
This one
[20:39] ---
is the lord.
[20:42] ---
This one.
[20:44] ---
My name is Tokiyuki Hojo.
[20:46] ---
I'm the orphan of the regent
to the Kamakura shogunate, Takatoki Hojo.
[20:49] ---
I am more or less on an endeavor
to lead the country.
[20:53] ---
What?
[20:57] ---
Sorry I hid it from you.
[20:58] ---
I had decided
to not share my true identity
[21:01] ---
until I had talked to Mr. Yorishige.
[21:03] ---
I thought he was hiding
something huge, but…
[21:09] ---
This secret is too big!
[21:12] ---
As a commoner,
he's just a kind, elusive boy.
[21:16] ---
But when you add the fact
that he is a Hojo child…
[21:20] ---
All of his skills
become formidable weapons!
[21:27] ---
This is invigorating.
[21:32] ---
My millet fee will be expensive.
[21:35] ---
If that's okay, then I will serve you.
[21:46] ---
I will draw out
all the strength this prince possesses
[21:49] ---
and join his attempt to win the country.
[21:52] ---
At Suwa Grand Shrine, we're allowed to
eat rice instead of millet.
[21:56] ---
For real? It must be paradise?
[21:59] ---
I can't tell
if this guy is smart or clueless.
[23:39] ---
