1
00:00:01,020 --> 00:00:03,390
I've gathered
the biggest, burliest men around

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,360
and paying them to carry my mikoshi
and serve as my bodyguards.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,570
And I shall shoot them all
from right here,

4
00:00:09,650 --> 00:00:12,110
in the safety of my own little box.

5
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:17,620
This is my very own battle mikoshi plan!

6
00:00:18,530 --> 00:00:19,830
It's all for show.

7
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:22,790
That huge thing
will just become an easy target.

8
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:24,830
No, not necessarily.

9
00:00:25,790 --> 00:00:28,460
It's so conspicuous
that it's bound to become a target, but…

10
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:31,710
{\an8}The bearers wear heavy armor

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,780
{\an8}and maintain a tight formation
around the poles.

12
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:34,590
{\an8}RAMPAGE! BATTLE MIKOSHI

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,260
{\an8}They can't be taken down easily,
even in close combat.

14
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:41,890
{\an8}Even if one bearer falls,
another one immediately takes his place.

15
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:45,730
Even if they reach the mikoshi…

16
00:00:55,780 --> 00:00:58,530
This is bad.
They're packing in tighter and tighter.

17
00:00:58,620 --> 00:00:59,620
{\an8}PROVINCIAL OFFICIAL

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,620
If they pack in that tightly,
Sadamune's army will slip in behind them.

19
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:03,560
{\an8}SADAMUNE'S ARMY
HOSHINA PARTY

20
00:01:03,580 --> 00:01:05,460
They could be cut off and wiped out.

21
00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:08,710
Fubuki? Don't be reckless!

22
00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:11,880
No need to worry. I'm going
as a messenger to pass on my idea.

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,130
{\an8\i1}That's the danger of a court noble
who knows nothing of war.

24
00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:18,470
{\an8\i1}Tactics that defy
a warrior's expectations can be

25
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:19,970
{\an8\i1}extremely dangerous
if they happen to work.

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,190
Trample them to death! Cut them down!

27
00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:30,420
I'll shoot them down too!

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,940
All for my world…

29
00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:40,570
No, for the Emperor's world.

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240
{\an8\i1}It's beyond me.

31
00:01:44,330 --> 00:01:46,370
{\an8\i1}I could never govern those beasts

32
00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:49,710
{\an8\i1}who wouldn't hesitate
to take a Provincial Official's life.

33
00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:52,340
{\an8\i1}Even if it's my command?

34
00:01:54,090 --> 00:01:57,340
{\i1}Our Kiyohara clan has always been
a lower-ranked noble house.

35
00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:00,840
{\i1}We have neither the lineage nor the
worthiness to become Provincial Officials.

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,730
{\i1}Why did you appoint someone like me

37
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:06,730
{\i1}as a Provincial Official
in the first place?

38
00:02:08,230 --> 00:02:12,860
{\i1}Kiyohara,
lineage is not what I value most.

39
00:02:13,980 --> 00:02:15,190
{\i1}It is resolve.

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,650
{\i1}I value those with
the resolve to change the age.

41
00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:23,490
{\i1}Even in the days of Kamakura,
you must have wondered.

42
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,290
{\i1}"Why do indolent court nobles

43
00:02:26,870 --> 00:02:30,420
{\i1}who fawn over
the shogunate's warrior families

44
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:33,630
{\i1}and cling to their privileges
still hold power?"

45
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,170
{\i1}"I could change the world
if I were in their place."

46
00:02:40,220 --> 00:02:44,010
{\i1}I saw the passion, ambition,
and resolve hidden in your eyes.

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,560
{\i1}I recognized your worth even then.

48
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,770
{\i1}You had noticed a mere
minor court noble like me even back then?

49
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:58,070
{\i1}Your house has no standing.

50
00:02:58,150 --> 00:03:00,650
{\i1}You have no achievements
on the grand stage.

51
00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:03,820
{\i1}Yet you possess a resolve
that reaches the heavens.

52
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:05,660
{\i1}That is why I entrust Shinano to you.

53
00:03:06,830 --> 00:03:08,290
{\i1}Go, Kiyohara.

54
00:03:08,870 --> 00:03:13,710
{\i1}Rule Shinano with that resolve,
for the world I shall create.

55
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:17,000
{\i1}The Emperor commands you to go!

56
00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:18,840
{\i1}Yes, sir!

57
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:22,760
{\i1}Emperor Godaigo was also a hero

58
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,220
{\i1}possessed of unparalleled charisma
and force of character.

59
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:29,520
{\i1}As though imbued
with the Emperor's own spirit,

60
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,150
{\i1}many nobles took up unfamiliar weapons
and risked their lives on the battlefield.

61
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,230
{\i1}It was one of the most unusual
characteristics of the era.

62
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,820
Mr. Hoshina,
move your soldiers to the left.

63
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,080
Concentrate as many soldiers as you can
from the right to the left.

64
00:03:49,490 --> 00:03:52,460
All for the Emperor's reign!

65
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,380
We shall build his world here in Shinano!

66
00:04:16,650 --> 00:04:21,490
{\an8}THE ELUSIVE SAMURAI

67
00:05:29,550 --> 00:05:31,010
Heave-ho!

68
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:32,220
Heave-ho!

69
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,520
Cry out, you fools.

70
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,980
Your voices are the bells
that herald the new reign.

71
00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:46,320
To build a righteous world,
we must first cut away its impurities.

72
00:05:46,820 --> 00:05:51,070
The Emperor's reign shall bloom
upon that blood.

73
00:06:00,290 --> 00:06:03,130
Emperor, behold!

74
00:06:03,210 --> 00:06:08,010
That blood is
the very proof of my loyalty.

75
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,220
I've concentrated the troops
as you instructed, but…

76
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:14,060
Fire!

77
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:16,270
There are too many of them.

78
00:06:16,350 --> 00:06:17,680
No matter how many we cut down,

79
00:06:17,770 --> 00:06:20,440
it's as if they just keep crawling out
from the depths of the earth.

80
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,690
Don't worry. Keep it up.

81
00:06:25,030 --> 00:06:27,610
{\an8}It should be about time.

82
00:06:32,660 --> 00:06:35,080
What's going on? Hold it steady!

83
00:06:36,330 --> 00:06:39,000
Damn it!
Where are the replacement bearers?

84
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,890
What are you dawdling for?
Get back into formation!

85
00:06:53,010 --> 00:06:55,600
Not many can wield a sword
with their left hand.

86
00:06:56,650 --> 00:07:00,690
If we strike there,
we can break the bearers' formation.

87
00:07:01,190 --> 00:07:02,650
The left!

88
00:07:02,730 --> 00:07:04,770
Concentrate your attacks from the left!

89
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,320
Follow me, Shinomiya!
We're taking the enemy commander!

90
00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:14,320
It's shaking! It's shaking!
At this rate, I can't use my bow!

91
00:07:31,970 --> 00:07:32,970
It's over.

92
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,850
In the end, it was just
a court noble's little game.

93
00:07:37,260 --> 00:07:39,680
Let's get back and collect our reward.

94
00:07:39,770 --> 00:07:42,230
After all,
we took down that Provincial Official.

95
00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:44,520
Don't make it sound like it was all you!

96
00:07:44,610 --> 00:07:46,020
Huh? Wasn't it?

97
00:07:49,690 --> 00:07:50,990
What's wrong, brat?

98
00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:52,990
Well…

99
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,580
The mountain behind Shinomiya's main army…

100
00:07:57,450 --> 00:07:58,450
Just now, something…

101
00:08:01,620 --> 00:08:02,620
{\i1}A glint…

102
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,420
{\i1}Arms?

103
00:08:12,050 --> 00:08:13,050
The mountain?

104
00:08:15,260 --> 00:08:16,300
My lord?

105
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,100
We need to ready
Shinomiya's army to retreat!

106
00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:22,890
At worst, they'll be ambushed from behind!

107
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:26,190
{\an8}Huh? That's impossible.

108
00:08:25,020 --> 00:08:26,190
{\an8}SHINOMIYA'S MAIN ARMY

109
00:08:26,270 --> 00:08:29,360
{\an8}Behind the Shinomiya's army
is nothing but endless mountains.

110
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,740
There's no way an army that large
could get in there…

111
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,790
Besides, my lord, the enemy's
main commanders should all be out by now.

112
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:47,750
{\i1}There's one man who comes to mind.

113
00:08:50,210 --> 00:08:56,430
{\i1}A cunning, meticulous commander
known for mountain ambushes.

114
00:08:56,930 --> 00:08:58,220
{\an8}SHINOMIYA'S MAIN ARMY

115
00:08:57,210 --> 00:08:59,810
{\an8}An ambush from the mountain behind us?

116
00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:04,850
There's no sign of anything.

117
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,270
What's your basis for that?

118
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,780
I have none,
but please order a retreat at once!

119
00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:14,530
We've beaten the Provincial Official
and we're on the verge of victory.

120
00:09:14,610 --> 00:09:16,570
We can't move the main army now.

121
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,450
In our land, where we revere the divine,

122
00:09:21,540 --> 00:09:23,950
the idea of a man
riding a mikoshi is absurd.

123
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,080
Only a god
has the right to ride a mikoshi.

124
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,960
And in Shinano, there's only one.

125
00:09:32,670 --> 00:09:35,300
We'll hear you out
once Lord Shinomiya returns.

126
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,390
By then, it'll be too late.
It's the instinct of a born runner.

127
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:39,680
Please, hurry!

128
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,760
E…

129
00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:43,890
Enemy… Enemy…

130
00:09:44,770 --> 00:09:45,770
Enemy?

131
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,690
Enemy attack!

132
00:09:54,780 --> 00:09:55,780
What's happening?

133
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,280
Yasaburo!

134
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,370
Damn it!

135
00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:06,910
I'll go after him!
Shinomiya, get back to the main army!

136
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,590
Run for it!

137
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,800
Young Lord!

138
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:21,090
Kojiro! Genba!

139
00:10:40,660 --> 00:10:41,910
{\i1}Shokan…

140
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:57,130
Lord Tokiyuki.

141
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:07,810
{\an8}SOUTH - CENTER - NORTH

142
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,480
The battle began on three fronts.

143
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:13,110
Within days, the northern and
southern forces would be consolidated,

144
00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:17,480
and both sides would converge
on the center for the decisive battle.

145
00:11:18,650 --> 00:11:21,410
After analyzing both armies' strength,

146
00:11:21,490 --> 00:11:23,780
I predicted the decisive battle
on the fourth day

147
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:26,790
and moved my troops
through the mountains accordingly.

148
00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:30,580
Then I learned of
the Provincial Official's secret weapon

149
00:11:30,660 --> 00:11:32,620
and worked it into my plan.

150
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:37,050
It was the perfect toy to draw
everyone's attention on the battlefield.

151
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:40,090
While everyone's attention
was focused on the mikoshi,

152
00:11:41,380 --> 00:11:45,800
we swiftly closed in on Shinomiya's main
camp and launched a surprise attack.

153
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:51,230
This is military strategy, Chojumaru.

154
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,560
Military strategy…

155
00:11:55,610 --> 00:11:58,610
You may run around
hunting down petty commanders

156
00:11:58,690 --> 00:12:00,860
and save small villages.

157
00:12:01,530 --> 00:12:04,200
But if you can't read
the tide of a great war,

158
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,540
you'll never attain anything truly great.

159
00:12:09,620 --> 00:12:14,040
You should've had
Kusunoki teach you the art of war.

160
00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:18,130
But what a shame.
Good children, it's time to die!

161
00:12:18,210 --> 00:12:19,210
Young Lord!

162
00:12:20,050 --> 00:12:22,970
They're on foot.
They can't catch us on horseback.

163
00:12:24,130 --> 00:12:25,140
Right.

164
00:12:27,140 --> 00:12:29,310
Impressive, Shokan.

165
00:12:29,810 --> 00:12:32,640
Your plan worked perfectly.

166
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,480
Lord Sadamune.

167
00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:39,020
I took the opportunity to break through
their defensive line.

168
00:12:39,730 --> 00:12:43,030
Now we'll wipe out Shinomiya's army
in one sweep!

169
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:44,360
As you command!

170
00:12:46,660 --> 00:12:52,500
{\i1}A single move by one commander overturned
the entire course of the battle.

171
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:54,870
{\i1}This is war.

172
00:12:56,250 --> 00:12:57,920
{\i1}This is military strategy.

173
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,460
Damn it!
While I was away from the main army…

174
00:13:03,340 --> 00:13:07,140
{\i1}No… Once an army has fallen apart,
it can't be reformed.

175
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:08,220
Mr. Shinomiya!

176
00:13:09,180 --> 00:13:10,430
I'm sorry.

177
00:13:10,510 --> 00:13:12,890
If only I'd realized it sooner…

178
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,230
Don't be ridiculous.

179
00:13:15,310 --> 00:13:18,310
If warriors have to rely on a child
that much, we're no warriors at all.

180
00:13:19,110 --> 00:13:22,990
Right now, I'm thinking about
how to salvage this defeat.

181
00:13:23,570 --> 00:13:28,490
Just like Hoshina,
we can't simply abandon our land.

182
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,750
But if we stand our ground in this chaos,
total annihilation is inevitable.

183
00:13:43,420 --> 00:13:45,340
Mr. Mochizuki?

184
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:50,350
Sorry. He blew up our own men too,
so please rescue them.

185
00:13:50,850 --> 00:13:51,970
{\an8}Yeah…

186
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,430
As one of
the Three Great Generals of the Suwa Sect,

187
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,390
I have a message for the Shinomiya party.

188
00:13:57,190 --> 00:14:00,230
Remember this.
In this battle, fleeing is victory.

189
00:14:00,730 --> 00:14:02,980
We'll serve as the rear guard
and buy you time.

190
00:14:03,070 --> 00:14:06,240
Take your clan
and withdraw to Hoshina territory.

191
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:13,660
Suwa Myojin will surely rise.
Live on and await that day.

192
00:14:17,710 --> 00:14:19,000
Suwa Myojin…

193
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,290
How reassuring.

194
00:14:20,380 --> 00:14:23,590
For that day,
we'll endure any humiliation.

195
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,300
{\i1}What a relief.

196
00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:29,760
{\i1}Words from one of the Three Great Generals
carry a different kind of weight.

197
00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:33,510
All right.
We'll leave the enemy to Lord Mochizuki.

198
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,220
Prepare to withdraw!

199
00:14:35,310 --> 00:14:36,640
Yeah!

200
00:14:37,770 --> 00:14:40,520
Mr. Mochizuki,
weren't you supposed to be in the north?

201
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,650
Why are you here?

202
00:14:42,730 --> 00:14:47,490
After that, I went to tell Father
about the battle in the center.

203
00:14:47,570 --> 00:14:53,740
The moment he heard my report, he said,
"How boring," and left right away.

204
00:14:53,830 --> 00:14:54,830
"Boring"?

205
00:14:54,910 --> 00:14:56,160
Yeah.

206
00:14:56,250 --> 00:14:59,870
The enemy's movements here
were too boring.

207
00:15:00,540 --> 00:15:03,540
So I had a feeling
there'd be an interesting twist,

208
00:15:03,630 --> 00:15:05,300
and that worried me.

209
00:15:05,380 --> 00:15:08,130
That's so random… but I'm glad he came.

210
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:12,050
This battle was never likely to be won.

211
00:15:12,550 --> 00:15:16,430
Lord Yorishige still can't act openly,
so it was unavoidable.

212
00:15:17,770 --> 00:15:19,890
Both the Inukai and Tokoiwa clans
had been told

213
00:15:19,980 --> 00:15:23,480
to hide in the mountains if defeated.

214
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,400
Lord Yorishige had already prepared
supplies and shelter for them.

215
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:30,610
This is merely a preliminary battle.

216
00:15:31,150 --> 00:15:32,990
Lord Yorishige's objective
is to keep casualties to a minimum

217
00:15:33,070 --> 00:15:37,330
and strengthen the unity of the Suwa Sect.

218
00:15:38,580 --> 00:15:41,080
{\i1}Mr. Yorishige had even
calculated that far ahead…

219
00:15:41,790 --> 00:15:45,130
{\i1}A profound military strategy of
a kind completely different from Shokan's.

220
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,920
And, Young Lord.

221
00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:49,800
Your selfless devotion,

222
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,510
running day and night
and risking your life for the Suwa Sect,

223
00:15:54,050 --> 00:15:57,680
has deeply moved us all.

224
00:15:59,220 --> 00:16:00,430
When the next great war comes,

225
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,940
we, the people of Shinano, pledge that
we will spare no effort in supporting you.

226
00:16:10,110 --> 00:16:12,740
{\i1}Our final mission as the Elusive Warriors

227
00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:16,410
{\i1}was to carry word of the defeat on
the Central Front to the Southern Front.

228
00:16:17,740 --> 00:16:19,160
{\i1}The moment they received the message,

229
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,250
{\i1}Mr. Unno and Mr. Nezu
rushed to the Central Front.

230
00:16:23,620 --> 00:16:25,540
{\i1}Thanks to
the Three Great Generals' valiant stand,

231
00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:28,000
{\i1}the Shinomiya party was rescued
from the brink of destruction,

232
00:16:28,090 --> 00:16:30,710
{\i1}and casualties were kept to a minimum.

233
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,970
{\i1}With all hope of victory lost,

234
00:16:33,050 --> 00:16:35,680
{\i1}Mr. Tokoiwa in the north
and Mr. Inukai in the south

235
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,180
{\i1}fled into the mountains.

236
00:16:37,930 --> 00:16:41,600
{\i1}Kiyohara, the Provincial Official,
escaped in the confusion.

237
00:16:43,310 --> 00:16:46,480
{\i1}We barely managed to hold back
Shokan and Ogasawara's army,

238
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,900
{\i1}but we lost a great deal of our land.

239
00:16:48,980 --> 00:16:50,400
HOSHINA TERRITORY
PROVINCIAL OFFICIALS TERRITORY

240
00:16:50,850 --> 00:16:54,320
I don't like having to ask this,
but I'll be in your care, Yasaburo.

241
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,860
{\an8}HOSHINA TERRITORY

242
00:16:55,950 --> 00:16:59,280
{\an8}Yeah. We fell for the enemy's strategy
and failed to finish off Kiyohara.

243
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,330
The responsibility for this lies with me.

244
00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:05,500
The Hoshina party will provide
for the Shinomiya party's needs

245
00:17:05,580 --> 00:17:06,920
and perform rites for the fallen.

246
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,040
Leave everything to us.

247
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:10,840
I'm in your debt.

248
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,760
With Lord Shinomiya on our side,
we have the strength of a hundred men!

249
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,470
Next time, we'll slaughter them!

250
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:17,760
Yeah…

251
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,560
{\i1}They're always way more fired up than us…

252
00:17:22,180 --> 00:17:24,640
MOSTLY THE GENTLE TYPE

253
00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:32,860
We could even merge our two parties
for the future.

254
00:17:35,740 --> 00:17:37,030
That might not be a bad idea.

255
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:41,290
I heard that Suwa Myojin will surely rise.

256
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,370
If it means living to see that day…
I'll do whatever it takes.

257
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:52,050
{\i1}Labeled enemies of the Imperial Court
and defeated in battle,

258
00:17:52,130 --> 00:17:56,050
{\i1}the Suwa Sect will lose
all their lands if this continues.

259
00:17:56,130 --> 00:17:58,890
{\i1}They had no choice but to stake everything
on a great upheaval.

260
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,930
{\i1}That awareness and resolve
gradually spread among them.

261
00:18:36,470 --> 00:18:39,840
{\i1}Chief Chamberlain, Mitsunori of Minamoto.

262
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,470
{\i1}Imperial Councillor,
Noritaka of Tachibana.

263
00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:48,100
{\i1}Provisional Middle Councillor,
Kinhira of Fujiwara.

264
00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:53,400
{\i1}Those are all the promotions
for this occasion.

265
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,570
{\i1}It is a cruel thing

266
00:18:57,650 --> 00:19:02,410
{\i1}when even talent cannot advance you
further because of your lineage.

267
00:19:02,950 --> 00:19:05,370
{\i1}It is painful when your path
to advancement is blocked,

268
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,420
{\i1}but it is just as sad that you cannot rise
in rank without going to Kamakura.

269
00:19:12,130 --> 00:19:16,840
{\i1}Mr. Kiyohara, there's no use lamenting
the advancement you'll never attain.

270
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,590
{\i1}We have no choice but to accept
that these are the times we live in.

271
00:19:22,090 --> 00:19:28,390
{\i1}Even so, I'll wait for the day when
even those without noble lineage can rise.

272
00:19:47,870 --> 00:19:50,540
{\an8}SUWA GRAND SHRINE

273
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:54,040
Yoritsugu! Yoritsugu!

274
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,130
Where is he?

275
00:19:58,460 --> 00:19:59,970
Yoritsugu!

276
00:20:03,930 --> 00:20:07,560
It's hard to report a defeat.

277
00:20:11,350 --> 00:20:15,360
More than anything, Lord Yorishige
will be overjoyed that you're safe.

278
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,730
Look over there.

279
00:20:18,940 --> 00:20:22,280
Lord Yorishige had a hut built over there

280
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,490
for times when
you would be on the battlefield.

281
00:20:24,570 --> 00:20:27,200
He allows no one inside,
performs ablution,

282
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,370
and prays for your safe return.

283
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,250
Ablution…

284
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:34,830
{\i1}To pour cold water over himself
at this time of year…

285
00:20:35,630 --> 00:20:37,380
{\i1}He really cares that much about me…

286
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,840
{\i1}Now, I truly understand.

287
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:45,220
{\i1}My goal is the same as Mr. Yorishige's.

288
00:20:46,180 --> 00:20:50,890
{\i1}To restore the Hojo
is to save the people of Shinano.

289
00:20:51,850 --> 00:20:53,520
{\i1}This isn't the time to mope.

290
00:20:54,350 --> 00:20:58,150
{\i1}I'm going to reclaim the throne
alongside him.

291
00:20:59,650 --> 00:21:02,070
I'm back, Mr. Yorishige.

292
00:21:07,490 --> 00:21:08,700
{\i1}Yorishige

293
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,250
{\i1}is soaking in a hot spring.

294
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,500
{\i1}He's soaking in a hot spring
he unearthed with his holy power,

295
00:21:16,210 --> 00:21:19,460
{\i1}with sake and snacks.

296
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,670
We're risking our lives out there, and
you're off having the time of your life?

297
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,010
You idiot Myojin!

298
00:21:25,090 --> 00:21:28,180
Well, I was performing ablution
until just a moment ago.

299
00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:30,720
{\an8}Pouring hot water over yourself
just feels good!

300
00:21:30,810 --> 00:21:32,060
{\an8}-It's fine!
-Hey!

301
00:21:32,140 --> 00:21:34,640
{\an8}There's no rule
that says it has to be cold!

302
00:21:35,140 --> 00:21:37,940
Maybe I really can't work
with him after all.

303
00:21:38,020 --> 00:21:39,980
Teach him a lesson!

304
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,690
Yeah.

305
00:21:44,190 --> 00:21:50,120
{\i1}In this battle, the Suwa side lost land,
but gained stronger bonds.

306
00:21:50,830 --> 00:21:56,120
{\i1}Above all, Tokiyuki and Yorishige
deepened their shared goal,

307
00:21:56,210 --> 00:22:00,000
{\i1}and the Suwa side united
ahead of the coming great war…

308
00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:03,550
{\i1}Or so it seemed.

309
00:23:38,530 --> 00:23:39,850
{\i1}Let's go.

310
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:39,850
EPISODE 18 (YEAR 1335):
THE BOY WHO BECAME A GOD
