EPISODE 8: A PLOY
28
00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:51,305
The Hojo took advantage of the situation.
29
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:55,042
They were trying to usurpthe former Takeda fiefs.
30
00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:57,978
Masayuki, who sided with the Uesugi,
31
00:02:58,112 --> 00:03:01,715
had given Nobushige secretorders behind the scenes.
32

{\an8}HAMAMATSU CASTLE
33
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,387
Thank goodness you're here.
34
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:08,556
How is he?
35
00:03:08,622 --> 00:03:10,090
From earlier...
36
00:03:11,325 --> 00:03:12,693
He's a nervous wreck.
37
00:03:17,932 --> 00:03:18,866
Masanobu.
38
00:03:19,967 --> 00:03:22,169
The Hojo will invade us.
39
00:03:22,236 --> 00:03:24,405
Lord, calm down.
40
00:03:24,772 --> 00:03:27,207
They've already laid siege to Kozuke.
41
00:03:29,310 --> 00:03:31,645
They are definitely going
to head here next.
42
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:34,949
The Hojo have already crossed Usui Pass.
43
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:37,284
Usui Pass?
44
00:03:37,618 --> 00:03:39,286
Their next target is...
45
00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:42,289
Shinano.
46
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,794
Shinano?
47
00:03:51,131 --> 00:03:55,436
The huge army of 20,000 led byHojo Ujinao crossed Usui Pass,
48
00:03:55,736 --> 00:03:59,039
subjugated the local lordsof Shinano one by one,
49
00:03:59,106 --> 00:04:00,341
and continued their advance.
50
00:04:01,508 --> 00:04:03,811
{\an8}SAGAMI - ODAWARA CASTLE
51
00:04:03,877 --> 00:04:07,715
{\an8}Our army has unstoppable momentum.
52
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:12,853
With this momentum,
53
00:04:13,721 --> 00:04:18,392
the Uesugi and Tokugawa
pose no threat to us.
54
00:04:18,425 --> 00:04:19,193
{\an8}ITABEOKA KOSETSUSAI
55
00:04:19,226 --> 00:04:20,794
Don't act in haste.
56
00:04:21,895 --> 00:04:24,398
Pour soup only on what
you're going to eat.
57
00:04:25,165 --> 00:04:28,535
A little at a time.
58
00:04:31,372 --> 00:04:32,873
That's how I eat.
59
00:04:36,343 --> 00:04:38,612
The Hojo's subjugation of the lands...
60
00:04:40,114 --> 00:04:45,686
will be fully savored.
61
00:04:52,593 --> 00:04:56,664
{\an8}SHINANO - KAIZU CASTLE
62
00:04:56,697 --> 00:04:58,866
The Hojo will be invading.
63
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:01,502
They're heading here with
an army of 20,000.
64
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:03,070
Damn Hojo.
65
00:05:04,371 --> 00:05:06,440
They've forgotten how
strong the Uesugi is.
66
00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:11,712
Let us punish them under the
guardian god of Bishamonten.
67
00:05:12,646 --> 00:05:16,083
{\an8}SHINANO - SANADA HOMELAND
68
00:05:20,788 --> 00:05:21,822
Father!
69
00:05:22,589 --> 00:05:25,693
As an Uesugi ally, the Hojo are enemies.
70
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:27,061
I'm well aware of that.
71
00:05:27,127 --> 00:05:29,363
Let us fight the Hojo at once.
72
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:31,865
We'll rout the Hojo.
73
00:05:31,932 --> 00:05:33,801
Let's wait it out.
74
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:37,504
Father, please tell me
what you're waiting for.
75
00:05:40,741 --> 00:05:44,078
Can you persuade Kasuga
Nobutatsu to side with us?
76
00:05:45,312 --> 00:05:47,881
He'll be my gift to the Hojo
when I go to them.
77
00:05:50,617 --> 00:05:51,752
I will do it.
78
00:05:55,089 --> 00:05:59,993
Please Uncle, I want to see how
you intend to persuade him.
79
00:06:00,294 --> 00:06:02,229
My brother has come up
with an interesting plan.
80
00:06:02,296 --> 00:06:04,331
Uncle, I want to be like you.
81
00:06:11,138 --> 00:06:13,173
You know of Kasuga Nobutatsu, don't you?
82
00:06:14,508 --> 00:06:15,342
Only by name.
83
00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:18,178
His father is Kosaka Danjo.
84
00:06:19,046 --> 00:06:21,315
He's one of the key vassals
who supported the Takeda.
85
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:24,852
After the Takeda fell,
the Uesugi picked him up.
86
00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:29,022
Lately, he's been unhappy
with his situation.
87
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:34,128
Well, well, Sir Kasuga.
88
00:06:34,962 --> 00:06:36,764
Why the serious look?
89
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:38,999
{\an8}No, it's nothing.
90
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:39,933
{\an8}KASUGA NOBUTATSU
91
00:06:41,668 --> 00:06:42,703
This is my third son.
92
00:06:42,770 --> 00:06:44,304
My name is Nobuharu.
93
00:06:59,553 --> 00:07:00,721
I don't understand
94
00:07:01,522 --> 00:07:04,424
why you are kept here
to defend the castle.
95
00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:07,394
You are famed for your strength.
96
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:12,833
When I asked to go with
the Lord, I was turned down.
97
00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:15,102
I don't understand what
the Lord is thinking.
98
00:07:15,803 --> 00:07:18,472
Why does he ignore you?
99
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:19,673
That is not the case.
100
00:07:20,107 --> 00:07:23,310
Kaizu Castle is a stronghold for
the protection of Kawanakajima.
101
00:07:23,710 --> 00:07:27,447
His appointing me to defend it
shows he's not ignoring me.
102
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:30,884
Do you honestly feel that way?
103
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,788
What are you getting at?
104
00:07:35,055 --> 00:07:39,993
The Lord doesn't trust those
deeply connected to the Takeda.
105
00:07:40,527 --> 00:07:43,497
That includes you and me.
106
00:07:46,233 --> 00:07:47,668
It's your overactive imagination.
107
00:07:58,412 --> 00:08:00,113
A samurai of your caliber,
108
00:08:00,647 --> 00:08:03,650
would be a castle lord
if you served someone else.
109
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:08,488
I'm leaving.
110
00:08:09,256 --> 00:08:11,024
Please keep this confidential.
111
00:08:14,595 --> 00:08:17,431
My older brother, for reasons of his own,
112
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:20,701
has decided to betray the
Uesugi and side with the Hojo.
113
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:21,969
What?
114
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:23,370
The Uesugi are dying.
115
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:26,106
It's best to jump from a sinking ship.
116
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,041
Side with the Hojo.
117
00:08:28,909 --> 00:08:29,743
That's absurd.
118
00:08:29,810 --> 00:08:30,911
By siding with Hojo now...
119
00:08:30,978 --> 00:08:31,845
I'm leaving.
120
00:08:35,082 --> 00:08:36,083
Sir Kasuga.
121
00:08:38,252 --> 00:08:41,555
As we are both former Takeda vassals,
122
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:45,125
I'll disregard what you just told me.
123
00:08:45,492 --> 00:08:46,326
Excuse me.
124
00:08:54,501 --> 00:08:57,704
I doubt Nobutatsu will betray the Uesugi.
125
00:08:58,538 --> 00:08:59,640
But there's a possibility.
126
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:00,841
How can you tell?
127
00:09:01,441 --> 00:09:05,379
If he were uninterested, he'd
have taken the bait and left.
128
00:09:06,113 --> 00:09:09,449
Then he'd report it to the Lord.
If I were him, that's what I'd do.
129
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:14,121
Just one more push.
130
00:09:15,923 --> 00:09:19,192
Allow me to do that final push.
131
00:09:20,260 --> 00:09:21,228
Want to give it a try?
132
00:09:21,762 --> 00:09:22,596
Yes.
133
00:09:29,403 --> 00:09:31,538
It was terrible.
134
00:09:31,772 --> 00:09:32,973
So a lot has happened.
135
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,609
To be honest, I thought
I was going to die.
136
00:09:35,809 --> 00:09:39,012
But when Sir Genjiro came to our rescue,
137
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:43,183
suddenly a ray of light
shone in the darkness.
138
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:44,084
That's good.
139
00:09:44,151 --> 00:09:46,753
I know his main purpose
was to save Lady Tori,
140
00:09:46,987 --> 00:09:50,424
but I'll never forget the look in his eyes
141
00:09:50,824 --> 00:09:52,192
when he found me in the castle.
142
00:09:53,226 --> 00:09:54,061
It's been a while.
143
00:09:55,028 --> 00:09:56,997
He looked very happy.
144
00:09:57,731 --> 00:09:59,499
I could tell by the sparkle in his eyes.
145
00:10:01,201 --> 00:10:02,536
I'm sorry to have stayed long.
146
00:10:03,136 --> 00:10:06,006
I'll see you again. Work hard.
147
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:07,374
You too.
148
00:10:31,298 --> 00:10:33,734
They've bloomed beautifully.
149
00:10:35,869 --> 00:10:37,170
Keep watch.
150
00:10:39,539 --> 00:10:44,177
Kaizu Castle used to
belong to your father.
151
00:10:44,878 --> 00:10:47,247
It's a castle I grew up in.
152
00:10:48,048 --> 00:10:48,882
Sir Kasuga.
153
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:51,952
Nobuharu... I already gave my answer.
154
00:10:52,019 --> 00:10:53,553
I'm not Sanada Nobuharu.
155
00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:54,454
What?
156
00:10:54,521 --> 00:10:55,956
Nobutada is my uncle.
157
00:10:56,323 --> 00:10:59,960
My real father is Sanada Masayuki.
158
00:11:00,694 --> 00:11:02,295
I'm Sanada Genjiro Nobushige.
159
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:04,431
So you're Masayuki's son!
160
00:11:04,598 --> 00:11:05,432
Indeed.
161
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:09,269
I've fought in battles with your father.
162
00:11:09,336 --> 00:11:11,671
I came to persuade you
under my father's orders.
163
00:11:11,905 --> 00:11:14,341
That is why I lied about
my identity upon arrival.
164
00:11:16,777 --> 00:11:20,380
The sons of Kosaka Danjo
and Sanada Masayuki
165
00:11:21,048 --> 00:11:23,316
are viewing flowers in Uesugi's castle.
166
00:11:24,885 --> 00:11:27,988
The march of time is interesting.
167
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:30,490
Sir Kasuga.
168
00:11:30,557 --> 00:11:33,427
It doesn't matter who you are.
My feelings won't change.
169
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:35,028
Please think about it carefully.
170
00:11:41,835 --> 00:11:43,203
I am indebted to the Uesugi.
171
00:11:43,270 --> 00:11:44,171
I know that.
172
00:11:44,371 --> 00:11:48,842
After my father's death,
I did my best to protect the Kasuga clan.
173
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:52,379
After the Takeda fell, I went to the Oda.
174
00:11:53,346 --> 00:11:56,583
Then the Honno-ji Incident
happened and I was at a loss.
175
00:11:57,317 --> 00:11:59,653
But Lord Uesugi Kagekatsu
picked me up as his vassal.
176
00:12:00,687 --> 00:12:04,458
Then what about your
obligation to Lord Shingen?
177
00:12:05,292 --> 00:12:10,430
Your father rose from farmer
to councilor, didn't he?
178
00:12:11,198 --> 00:12:15,268
Have you forgotten? Hojo Ujinao
is Lord Shingen's grandson.
179
00:12:16,403 --> 00:12:20,273
The Uesugi didn't protect you.
180
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:26,012
The Uesugi acquired North Shinano
which Oda relinquished.
181
00:12:26,446 --> 00:12:31,485
Right now, he is using you as
a pawn to pit against his foe.
182
00:12:31,551 --> 00:12:33,019
The Lord is not like that.
183
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:35,222
You needn't feel so deeply obligated!
184
00:12:35,288 --> 00:12:36,123
Enough!
185
00:12:38,992 --> 00:12:42,496
Don't ever talk about this
matter with me again.
186
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:48,602
You were too logical.
187
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:50,003
I'm sorry.
188
00:12:50,537 --> 00:12:53,473
People tend to close up
when presented with logic.
189
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:57,644
Don't act in haste.
190
00:13:02,816 --> 00:13:07,787
They're having difficulty
persuading Kasuga Nobutatsu.
191
00:13:08,655 --> 00:13:09,923
What are the Hojo's moves?
192
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:13,260
After they prepare for battle
at Komoro Castle,
193
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,263
they'll probably advance
their army to Kawanakajima.
194
00:13:17,664 --> 00:13:19,266
This is a bad situation.
195
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,703
If this drags out, I'll miss
my chance to show up.
196
00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:25,438
There's nothing we can do.
197
00:13:26,706 --> 00:13:29,609
We have no choice.
We'll go without waiting.
198
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:31,444
But...
199
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:33,880
I'm sure things will work out.
200
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,651
I'm going to see Hojo Ujinao.
201
00:13:44,291 --> 00:13:45,125
I'm going out.
202
00:13:49,596 --> 00:13:51,631
Things must be going smoothly.
203
00:13:53,133 --> 00:13:54,167
It's the opposite.
204
00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:56,002
Opposite?
205
00:13:56,770 --> 00:13:59,339
The Lord is enjoying the crisis.
206
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,542
He is truly mystifying.
207
00:14:10,050 --> 00:14:12,919
{\an8}The Hojo have entered Komoro Castle.
208
00:14:12,986 --> 00:14:14,921
{\an8}KOZUKE - IWABITSU CASTLE
209
00:14:14,988 --> 00:14:18,658
{\an8}The war between the Uesugi
and the Hojo will start soon.
210
00:14:20,393 --> 00:14:21,328
Reporting!
211
00:14:24,297 --> 00:14:26,166
An urgent message from the Lord.
212
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:40,547
What?
213
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:45,018
Father has betrayed the Uesugi,
214
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,188
and sided with the Hojo.
215
00:14:57,631 --> 00:14:59,299
I'll be going.
216
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:02,669
Brother, may fortune be with you.
217
00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:09,175
I'll rout the Hojo!
218
00:15:12,545 --> 00:15:13,813
Brother, you've got it wrong!
219
00:15:15,015 --> 00:15:16,082
The enemy is Uesugi.
220
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:19,352
I'm confused already.
221
00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:22,589
Whoever invades is the enemy!
222
00:15:24,991 --> 00:15:26,293
Here I come!
223
00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:34,367
{\an8}SHINANO - KOMORO CASTLE
224
00:15:37,003 --> 00:15:39,372
Well, well, Muroga.
225
00:15:40,674 --> 00:15:42,709
So you decided to side
with the Hojo after all.
226
00:15:43,410 --> 00:15:46,079
I was always with the Hojo.
227
00:15:46,146 --> 00:15:47,013
You've got the nerve.
228
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,348
If you'll excuse me now.
229
00:15:50,717 --> 00:15:52,252
Stay in line.
230
00:15:54,054 --> 00:15:56,289
I'll try to behave myself.
231
00:16:02,162 --> 00:16:02,996
You're late!
232
00:16:03,229 --> 00:16:05,398
Lord Sanada.
233
00:16:06,766 --> 00:16:11,338
You've got the gall to show up before me.
234
00:16:13,173 --> 00:16:17,110
There is no place for you here! Leave!
235
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:18,478
Please wait.
236
00:16:19,779 --> 00:16:23,583
Sanada represents the
local lords of Chiisagata.
237
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:25,752
By his joining us,
238
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:30,523
we will get more support.
239
00:16:30,857 --> 00:16:32,659
Who are you?
240
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:37,897
I'm Ideura Masasuke.
241
00:16:38,031 --> 00:16:41,234
Are you telling me what to do?
242
00:16:41,301 --> 00:16:44,804
No... that wasn't my intention.
243
00:16:53,313 --> 00:16:54,347
Lord Sanada.
244
00:16:57,117 --> 00:17:01,688
So you betrayed the Uesugi
to come to the Hojo.
245
00:17:02,856 --> 00:17:05,091
Confine yourself at Muroga's castle.
246
00:17:06,126 --> 00:17:07,394
Be gone!
247
00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:08,361
Lord.
248
00:17:11,164 --> 00:17:13,366
In apology for being late,
249
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:16,970
I brought you a gift.
250
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:19,105
Gift?
251
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:22,675
An enemy general who defends Kaizu Castle,
252
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:26,780
Kasuga Nobutatsu,
has been secretly recruited.
253
00:17:26,946 --> 00:17:27,781
What?!
254
00:17:30,316 --> 00:17:32,685
You will be assured of a huge victory.
255
00:17:32,752 --> 00:17:34,154
Do you dare insult the Hojo?!
256
00:17:35,288 --> 00:17:37,891
We don't need Kasuga's help!
257
00:17:37,957 --> 00:17:41,361
We have enough strength
to crush the Uesugi!
258
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:42,896
Lord!
259
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:48,501
Father?
260
00:17:53,339 --> 00:17:55,074
The retired lord is here.
261
00:17:57,877 --> 00:18:01,047
Stay as you are.
262
00:18:08,288 --> 00:18:10,490
Weren't you in Odawara?
263
00:18:10,557 --> 00:18:13,760
I'm just visiting the camp.
Rest assured, Ujinao.
264
00:18:14,027 --> 00:18:16,262
I've left the battle to you.
265
00:18:16,329 --> 00:18:17,397
I won't meddle.
266
00:18:19,299 --> 00:18:20,133
So?
267
00:18:23,303 --> 00:18:25,305
I plan to advance the army
to Kawanakajima tomorrow
268
00:18:25,371 --> 00:18:27,307
and launch a full scale attack
on the Uesugi.
269
00:18:27,707 --> 00:18:28,842
You'll win, won't you?
270
00:18:29,809 --> 00:18:30,910
Yes, of course.
271
00:18:31,911 --> 00:18:32,979
That's good.
272
00:18:38,151 --> 00:18:39,085
Who is he?
273
00:18:39,619 --> 00:18:41,488
It is a pleasure to meet you.
274
00:18:42,989 --> 00:18:46,459
I am Sanada Masayuki.
275
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:48,962
Sanada?
276
00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:55,702
The famous Lord Sanada
who was with the Takeda?
277
00:18:56,503 --> 00:19:00,073
Men, we have the aid of Lord Sanada!
278
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:01,808
Come closer.
279
00:19:02,442 --> 00:19:03,376
Excuse me.
280
00:19:10,316 --> 00:19:11,150
Retired Lord.
281
00:19:13,019 --> 00:19:16,389
Actually, I have recruited
Uesugi vassal...
282
00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:19,792
Kasuga Nobutatsu, to our side.
283
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:24,097
Very impressive.
284
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:25,131
Father!
285
00:19:25,198 --> 00:19:27,767
We can win regardless!
286
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:31,070
Nothing is better than an easy victory.
287
00:19:31,404 --> 00:19:35,909
If Kasuga betrays the Uesugi,
less soldiers will die.
288
00:19:37,076 --> 00:19:39,312
Thank you for your troubles.
289
00:19:39,579 --> 00:19:41,714
I can't thank you enough.
290
00:19:42,282 --> 00:19:45,885
If possible, when victory is achieved...
291
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:50,690
can you give Kasuga Nobutatsu
Kaizu Castle?
292
00:19:51,858 --> 00:19:55,428
I would like a promise in writing.
293
00:19:58,064 --> 00:19:59,866
That's an easy request.
294
00:20:01,167 --> 00:20:03,570
Ujinao, give him a written promise.
295
00:20:04,137 --> 00:20:07,073
This is good news!
296
00:20:10,977 --> 00:20:15,815
I didn't know you thought
so highly of Sanada.
297
00:20:15,882 --> 00:20:18,418
Sanada? I don't know much about him.
298
00:20:18,885 --> 00:20:19,719
But...
299
00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:24,958
Ujinao is young so he lets it
get to his head.
300
00:20:25,825 --> 00:20:28,861
I just thought I'd tighten
the reins on him.
301
00:20:29,596 --> 00:20:31,097
I see.
302
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:37,036
I'll stop over at Kusatsu
hot spring before going home.
303
00:20:41,374 --> 00:20:42,976
On July 14th,
304
00:20:43,776 --> 00:20:46,346
the Hojo army,including the local lords of Kozuke,
305
00:20:46,479 --> 00:20:49,882
started advancing withtheir army of 30,000.
306
00:20:51,384 --> 00:20:55,088
Whereas Uesugi Kagekatsuhad encamped at Kaizu Castle
307
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:57,223
with an army of 7,000.
308
00:20:59,492 --> 00:21:00,493
Shortly later,
309
00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:03,663
news of Sanada Masayuki'salliance with the Hojo,
310
00:21:04,030 --> 00:21:05,732
reached Kagekatsu.
311
00:21:06,966 --> 00:21:09,135
What is your brother thinking?
312
00:21:09,702 --> 00:21:10,637
I'm sorry.
313
00:21:10,703 --> 00:21:12,705
He said that he'd side with the Uesugi.
314
00:21:13,873 --> 00:21:15,375
Then immediately after...
315
00:21:15,875 --> 00:21:17,510
It is truly embarrassing.
316
00:21:17,877 --> 00:21:19,145
An unforgivable betrayal.
317
00:21:19,412 --> 00:21:21,748
What about you, Nobutada?
318
00:21:25,451 --> 00:21:26,285
Lord...
319
00:21:27,587 --> 00:21:31,658
Brothers don't always share
the same thoughts.
320
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:34,594
I, Sanada Nobutada,
321
00:21:35,228 --> 00:21:36,763
have for many years,
322
00:21:37,196 --> 00:21:38,998
mediated between the
Uesugi and the Sanada.
323
00:21:39,065 --> 00:21:41,801
I've worked tirelessly for the
prosperity of both clans.
324
00:21:42,902 --> 00:21:47,440
My brother, Masayuki,
has ruined all my hard work.
325
00:21:48,875 --> 00:21:51,110
I am disgusted with him.
326
00:21:54,180 --> 00:21:55,248
Nobuharu.
327
00:21:56,349 --> 00:21:57,183
Yes.
328
00:21:57,250 --> 00:21:59,886
What about you? Are you with your father?
329
00:22:00,753 --> 00:22:03,389
Yes. Like my father...
330
00:22:03,523 --> 00:22:05,925
I am disgusted with my uncle, Masayuki.
331
00:22:06,159 --> 00:22:08,094
At this point, we father and son...
332
00:22:09,228 --> 00:22:11,831
are prepared to die in Echigo.
333
00:22:15,468 --> 00:22:16,536
Thanks for saying that.
334
00:22:17,637 --> 00:22:18,471
Yes!
335
00:22:26,646 --> 00:22:27,480
We must act quickly.
336
00:22:29,515 --> 00:22:31,751
Sir Kasuga! I must talk to you!
337
00:22:38,257 --> 00:22:40,226
The Hojo will invade tomorrow.
338
00:22:40,593 --> 00:22:41,627
I know.
339
00:22:42,128 --> 00:22:44,897
Should you be still be here?
340
00:22:44,964 --> 00:22:46,499
Even though he's now a Hojo vassal,
341
00:22:46,999 --> 00:22:50,136
my father will still be proud
to have been a Takeda vassal.
342
00:22:51,871 --> 00:22:53,372
Just like you.
343
00:22:59,278 --> 00:23:00,113
Kasuga!
344
00:23:03,082 --> 00:23:04,117
Don't scare me.
345
00:23:06,853 --> 00:23:09,155
If Hojo Ujimasa wins this war,
346
00:23:10,323 --> 00:23:13,192
he said he will return
Kaizu Castle to you.
347
00:23:14,227 --> 00:23:15,061
What?
348
00:23:15,495 --> 00:23:18,297
This Kaizu Castle that
your father protected.
349
00:23:22,235 --> 00:23:24,871
Hard work under the Uesugi
won't get you this castle.
350
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:28,508
You should know that.
351
00:23:31,110 --> 00:23:36,749
Guide the Hojo to victory
and get back Kaizu Castle!
352
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:43,055
I'm sure your late father would want that.
353
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:45,658
Sir Kasuga!
354
00:23:50,329 --> 00:23:51,864
I sometimes think even now...
355
00:23:53,432 --> 00:23:55,268
if only the Takeda hadn't met with demise.
356
00:23:56,636 --> 00:23:58,304
Then I wouldn't be going through this.
357
00:23:59,739 --> 00:24:00,573
Both me...
358
00:24:02,975 --> 00:24:04,710
and your father.
359
00:24:06,012 --> 00:24:06,846
I agree.
360
00:24:10,616 --> 00:24:13,920
It just shows how great Lord Shingen was.
361
00:24:16,823 --> 00:24:21,494
When he died nine years ago,
362
00:24:24,564 --> 00:24:25,631
we as vassals,
363
00:24:29,101 --> 00:24:30,236
also died.
364
00:24:31,571 --> 00:24:34,941
No... we are not dead!
365
00:24:37,710 --> 00:24:43,015
My father fought hard to regain
Numata and Iwabitsu castles!
366
00:24:43,549 --> 00:24:47,053
Retake Kaizu Castle under Hojo Ujinao,
367
00:24:47,286 --> 00:24:49,155
and settle an old score.
368
00:24:49,755 --> 00:24:54,360
Wouldn't that uphold your father's honor?
369
00:24:59,999 --> 00:25:01,033
Sir Kasuga!
370
00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:33,933
Kasuga Nobutatsu is on our side.
371
00:25:34,066 --> 00:25:35,968
Sir Nobutada can be relied on.
372
00:25:36,369 --> 00:25:39,472
I'll have Hojo Ujinao's letter
delivered immediately.
373
00:25:41,007 --> 00:25:41,941
Sasuke, are you around?
374
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:47,246
It's time for you to work.
Take care of that matter.
375
00:25:47,713 --> 00:25:48,547
Yes, sir.
376
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:02,561
Are you still having doubts?
377
00:26:04,363 --> 00:26:07,099
Don't worry. I've already made up my mind.
378
00:26:08,834 --> 00:26:15,207
I'm surprised you tried
to persuade me to defect.
379
00:26:16,976 --> 00:26:20,680
I know the Uesugi's operation
and the geography well.
380
00:26:20,746 --> 00:26:23,716
If I attack from the rear, the Uesugi...
381
00:26:24,951 --> 00:26:26,719
will suffer complete defeat.
382
00:26:28,254 --> 00:26:29,088
Excuse me.
383
00:26:29,956 --> 00:26:31,057
What is it, Sanjuro?
384
00:26:34,894 --> 00:26:36,462
Sir Nobutada would like to see you.
385
00:26:43,235 --> 00:26:44,937
I got a letter from my brother.
386
00:26:45,504 --> 00:26:48,040
It's a written oath assuring
Kasuga Nobutatsu's future.
387
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:50,776
Hojo Ujinao's seal is on it.
388
00:26:50,843 --> 00:26:53,312
Kasuga will be happy to see this.
389
00:26:54,447 --> 00:26:59,018
Genjiro, didn't you say
you want to be like me?
390
00:26:59,552 --> 00:27:00,386
Yes.
391
00:27:01,921 --> 00:27:03,289
I'll say this much.
392
00:27:04,490 --> 00:27:05,758
Don't become like me.
393
00:27:12,732 --> 00:27:16,369
Having gained the Sanada,the final greatest resistance,
394
00:27:16,435 --> 00:27:21,774
as an ally, the Hojo army easilyadvanced to Kawanakajima.
395
00:27:22,942 --> 00:27:24,877
The Hojo and Uesugi armies
396
00:27:25,211 --> 00:27:27,313
faced each other across Chikuma River.
397
00:27:28,748 --> 00:27:32,218
The local hunters have seen it.
398
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:35,955
Tell us what you saw.
399
00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:37,223
Certainly.
400
00:27:38,057 --> 00:27:43,863
A large group of samurai from
the castle raced to the mountain.
401
00:27:44,530 --> 00:27:47,199
They were definitely Uesugi soldiers.
402
00:27:48,067 --> 00:27:52,772
I recognized them from the
battle at Kawanakajima.
403
00:27:53,606 --> 00:27:56,175
I wouldn't mistake their flags.
404
00:27:56,242 --> 00:27:57,176
What was their count?
405
00:27:57,910 --> 00:28:01,013
More than 20,000.
406
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:01,914
Enough!
407
00:28:05,885 --> 00:28:08,320
Are the Uesugi able to amass
such a number of soldiers?
408
00:28:08,788 --> 00:28:10,756
I sent out a spy to verify.
409
00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:15,494
Knowing the Uesugi, it's possible
they amassed soldiers in secret.
410
00:28:41,854 --> 00:28:42,922
Lord!
411
00:28:43,022 --> 00:28:44,023
What is it?
412
00:28:44,356 --> 00:28:47,293
Someone was crucified
across Chikuma River!
413
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:48,694
Who?
414
00:28:49,595 --> 00:28:52,264
According to our scout,
it's Kasuga Nobutatsu.
415
00:28:52,331 --> 00:28:53,432
Are you sure?
416
00:28:53,499 --> 00:28:54,333
Yes!
417
00:28:55,568 --> 00:28:56,569
What is going on?
418
00:28:57,203 --> 00:28:58,838
Don't tell me Kasuga...
419
00:28:58,904 --> 00:29:01,540
Sanada Masayuki, explain!
420
00:29:02,241 --> 00:29:05,177
They must've found out about our plan.
421
00:29:06,045 --> 00:29:07,113
What are we going to do?
422
00:29:07,780 --> 00:29:11,250
We'll have to launch an attack.
423
00:29:11,317 --> 00:29:12,318
What?
424
00:29:12,618 --> 00:29:14,787
In battle, momentum
is important.
425
00:29:15,421 --> 00:29:18,124
Even without a plan, the victory is ours.
426
00:29:18,524 --> 00:29:22,728
We have an overwhelming army of 30,000.
427
00:29:23,229 --> 00:29:27,266
I agree with Sanada.
428
00:29:28,467 --> 00:29:32,371
Now is the time to crush the Uesugi.
429
00:29:37,977 --> 00:29:42,781
We received word that
Tokugawa entered Kai.
430
00:29:44,250 --> 00:29:50,823
What if they seize Kai while
we struggle with the Uesugi?
431
00:29:50,890 --> 00:29:52,558
After coming this far,
432
00:29:52,691 --> 00:29:56,795
I don't think you should turn
your back on the Uesugi.
433
00:29:57,897 --> 00:29:58,898
I've made my decision.
434
00:30:02,635 --> 00:30:04,570
I'm pulling out from here.
435
00:30:04,637 --> 00:30:05,704
Please wait.
436
00:30:07,306 --> 00:30:10,109
We are heading to Kai from now!
437
00:30:10,409 --> 00:30:11,410
Yes, sir!
438
00:30:11,844 --> 00:30:12,678
Lord.
439
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:16,215
In a battle, it's important
to know when to pull out.
440
00:30:16,649 --> 00:30:18,651
They could attack us on retreat,
441
00:30:18,951 --> 00:30:20,352
and crush us.
442
00:30:21,153 --> 00:30:23,956
Then you can bring up the rear.
443
00:30:26,525 --> 00:30:31,363
Sanada, make yourself useful.
444
00:30:40,506 --> 00:30:42,041
Your plan failed.
445
00:30:44,710 --> 00:30:47,012
You arrived late and now another blunder.
446
00:30:48,414 --> 00:30:52,117
Do a good job bringing up
the rear to redeem yourself.
447
00:30:54,987 --> 00:30:56,989
If you make it out alive,
we can meet again.
448
00:31:05,998 --> 00:31:07,399
You maneuvered well.
449
00:31:08,968 --> 00:31:12,738
Hojo Ujinao is easy to predict.
450
00:31:13,405 --> 00:31:15,107
He only says the opposite of me.
451
00:31:17,509 --> 00:31:20,546
The Hojo army avoidedbattle with the Uesugi,
452
00:31:20,613 --> 00:31:22,014
and headed south to Kai.
453
00:31:22,848 --> 00:31:26,385
As for Uesugi Kagekatsu,he returned to Echigo
454
00:31:26,452 --> 00:31:30,889
to suppress the revolt by hisvassal, Shibata Shigeie.
455
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:34,360
What?
456
00:31:34,460 --> 00:31:38,297
The Hojo army is advancing
in our direction.
457
00:31:38,564 --> 00:31:41,734
Why? Why are they headed this way?
458
00:31:42,268 --> 00:31:44,003
They should crush the Uesugi first!
459
00:31:44,069 --> 00:31:45,771
I agree, but...
460
00:31:46,505 --> 00:31:50,509
at this point, we'll just
have to confront them.
461
00:31:55,514 --> 00:31:56,582
We're in a bad situation.
462
00:32:34,420 --> 00:32:37,690
It's a written oath by Hojo Ujinao.
463
00:32:39,058 --> 00:32:42,861
Kaizu Castle will now be yours.
464
00:32:43,896 --> 00:32:44,997
I am grateful for this.
465
00:32:46,432 --> 00:32:49,735
My father must be happy in afterlife.
466
00:32:55,207 --> 00:32:58,577
Come to think of it, when I was little...
467
00:33:03,482 --> 00:33:05,150
my father took me...
468
00:33:10,923 --> 00:33:11,990
What are you doing?
469
00:33:12,458 --> 00:33:13,292
Forgive me.
470
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:17,229
Damn you!
471
00:33:28,974 --> 00:33:31,009
Sanjuro, stand watch outside.
472
00:33:31,643 --> 00:33:32,478
Will do.
473
00:33:32,778 --> 00:33:33,612
Help me.
474
00:33:34,847 --> 00:33:36,915
We'll make it seem like
he drew his sword first.
475
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:38,751
Hurry!
476
00:33:39,551 --> 00:33:40,386
Yes!
477
00:34:00,572 --> 00:34:04,076
We witnessed Kasuga
bringing suspicious men into the castle
478
00:34:04,476 --> 00:34:05,511
so we questioned him.
479
00:34:06,812 --> 00:34:08,347
Then he attacked.
480
00:34:09,348 --> 00:34:11,884
He was undoubtedly
in contact with the Hojo.
481
00:34:21,326 --> 00:34:22,227
Kasuga was...?
482
00:34:23,929 --> 00:34:25,631
He colluded with the Hojo...
483
00:34:26,799 --> 00:34:29,868
to launch a pincer attack.
484
00:34:36,575 --> 00:34:37,409
You saved us.
485
00:34:46,752 --> 00:34:48,954
Put him on the stakes to set an example.
486
00:34:50,055 --> 00:34:50,889
Yes, sir.
487
00:35:15,147 --> 00:35:16,982
Leave the castle at once
and return to my brother.
488
00:35:17,049 --> 00:35:17,883
But...
489
00:35:17,950 --> 00:35:19,485
Naoe Kanetsugu is suspicious.
490
00:35:19,885 --> 00:35:22,354
-He will soon figure it out.
-Uncle, what about you?
491
00:35:22,754 --> 00:35:24,189
Don't worry about me.
492
00:35:24,890 --> 00:35:26,558
Give Brother my regards.
493
00:35:27,593 --> 00:35:28,460
Please hurry.
494
00:36:05,497 --> 00:36:07,132
Are you Nobutada's son?
495
00:36:07,533 --> 00:36:08,834
I'm Nobuharu.
496
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,441
I respected Kasuga Nobutatsu.
497
00:36:19,011 --> 00:36:21,480
He had his concerns for
being a Takeda vassal,
498
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:26,018
but I wouldn't deny my vassal
over something like that.
499
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:33,825
Being appointed to defend the
castle during battle upset him.
500
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,696
That's the importance
of this Kaizu Castle.
501
00:36:38,964 --> 00:36:42,100
There was no one more
suitable than Kasuga.
502
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:50,242
I thought he was someone
who'd support the Uesugi.
503
00:36:53,779 --> 00:36:55,614
One of my vassals revolted in Echigo.
504
00:36:58,417 --> 00:37:03,488
You never know what lies
in a person's heart.
505
00:37:16,001 --> 00:37:19,671
It was all planned by Father and Uncle.
506
00:37:20,405 --> 00:37:24,676
To make Kasuga defect,
and then punish him as a traitor.
507
00:37:25,010 --> 00:37:28,246
-For what reason?
-What happened as a result?
508
00:37:29,181 --> 00:37:33,018
The Hojo withdrew their army and
Father became their rear guard.
509
00:37:33,986 --> 00:37:38,957
Father and Uncle used Kasuga
to make that happen.
510
00:37:42,294 --> 00:37:45,097
Sanjuro, I...
511
00:37:46,365 --> 00:37:50,602
am afraid of them.
512
00:38:00,879 --> 00:38:02,114
I don't understand.
513
00:38:03,615 --> 00:38:05,651
What does Father want to do?
514
00:38:05,717 --> 00:38:08,420
The Hojo withdrew their army from Shinano,
515
00:38:08,887 --> 00:38:11,123
and the Uesugi returned to Echigo.
516
00:38:12,190 --> 00:38:16,561
The Hojo's advance to the south
stopped the Tokugawa.
517
00:38:17,596 --> 00:38:20,365
Shinano is currently empty.
518
00:38:21,667 --> 00:38:24,469
That's probably Father's aim.
519
00:38:30,208 --> 00:38:31,209
Sorry to keep you waiting.
520
00:38:36,782 --> 00:38:38,450
I went in for a bath.
521
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:47,025
Now that we're together...
522
00:38:49,461 --> 00:38:53,131
I realize it's been a while
since we talked.
523
00:39:10,048 --> 00:39:15,153
Genjiro, good job with Kasuga Nobutatsu.
524
00:39:15,554 --> 00:39:16,888
Was that the right thing?
525
00:39:16,955 --> 00:39:18,223
Of course.
526
00:39:23,428 --> 00:39:27,466
Father, what were you after?
527
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,468
Everything.
528
00:39:31,737 --> 00:39:35,807
That idiot Hojo son
took the bait and gave up
529
00:39:36,208 --> 00:39:39,745
on the battle with the Uesugi
to fight the Tokugawa.
530
00:39:41,346 --> 00:39:45,684
That blocked the Tokugawa's
move on Shinano.
531
00:39:47,319 --> 00:39:49,821
I had already heard about
the revolt in Echigo,
532
00:39:49,955 --> 00:39:52,791
so I knew the Uesugi wouldn't invade.
533
00:39:54,392 --> 00:39:56,061
It's all part of the strategy.
534
00:40:03,235 --> 00:40:08,440
The Hojo and the Uesugi
are now out of the picture.
535
00:40:09,407 --> 00:40:11,309
The Tokugawa and the Oda are gone, too.
536
00:40:12,577 --> 00:40:15,847
At this moment, Shinano belongs to no one.
537
00:40:16,848 --> 00:40:17,682
Yes.
538
00:40:18,383 --> 00:40:19,818
I was waiting for this time.
539
00:40:20,986 --> 00:40:24,623
Father, are you planning to be a daimyo?
540
00:40:24,956 --> 00:40:26,725
How I wish to be one.
541
00:40:27,626 --> 00:40:30,395
But unfortunately, I still lack the power.
542
00:40:31,096 --> 00:40:31,930
Then what?
543
00:40:34,099 --> 00:40:39,137
The regional lords will
govern Shinano from now.
544
00:40:39,971 --> 00:40:44,609
One man can't do it, but collectively,
we become one great power.
545
00:40:46,311 --> 00:40:48,446
This was originally Takeda fief.
546
00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:52,050
It's only right for former
Takeda vassals to govern it.
547
00:40:53,318 --> 00:40:54,286
Not the Hojo.
548
00:40:55,654 --> 00:40:56,788
Not the Uesugi.
549
00:40:57,589 --> 00:40:58,690
We don't need the daimyo!
550
00:41:02,794 --> 00:41:04,896
We'll build our own province.
551
00:41:12,571 --> 00:41:15,874
What Sanada Masayuki wasenvisioning at the time...
552
00:41:16,508 --> 00:41:18,910
was an independent statefree of the regional lords.
553
00:41:20,312 --> 00:41:22,414
Something that only he would think of.
554
00:41:23,281 --> 00:41:25,283
That is what Masayuki thought.
555
00:41:27,452 --> 00:41:30,755
But he had forgotten about this man.
556
00:41:32,624 --> 00:41:35,627
Masanobu, could this be...
557
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:39,898
all part of Sanada's ploy?
558
00:41:41,266 --> 00:41:42,901
If it is...
559
00:41:44,002 --> 00:41:48,073
without using a single soldier of his...
560
00:41:48,740 --> 00:41:54,512
he chased out the Hojo and
the Uesugi from Shinano.
561
00:41:56,147 --> 00:41:57,949
As a result of it...
562
00:41:58,817 --> 00:42:01,386
I have to fight the Hojo.
563
00:42:02,587 --> 00:42:03,855
Which makes him...
564
00:42:05,891 --> 00:42:08,293
a man to be feared.
565
00:42:10,061 --> 00:42:11,796
Sanada Masayuki...
566
00:42:14,165 --> 00:42:16,101
is not even a daimyo...
567
00:42:16,801 --> 00:42:18,870
but is toying with us.
568
00:42:20,739 --> 00:42:22,540
What is he after?
569
00:42:35,053 --> 00:42:37,255
No... it can't be.
570
00:42:38,156 --> 00:42:40,392
Too tight!
571
00:42:40,458 --> 00:42:42,994
END OF EPISODE 8
572
00:42:43,428 --> 00:42:45,330
Strategizing is...
573
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:46,765
I don't care to know.
574
00:42:46,831 --> 00:42:48,800
Betray the Hojo?
575
00:42:48,934 --> 00:42:52,570
No one can take the place
of Lord Takeda Shingen.
576
00:42:52,904 --> 00:42:57,075
I can think hard if it's to protect you.
577
00:43:00,011 --> 00:43:02,147
I'll become that samurai.
578
00:43:03,715 --> 00:43:08,720
