EPISODE 1: SAILING OUT
26
00:02:48,569 --> 00:02:50,304
In February of 1582,
27
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:54,174
the illustrious Takeda clan in Kai
faced a huge crisis.
28
00:02:54,675 --> 00:02:56,443
Nine years had passed
since Shingen's death.
29
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,913
They were invaded by Oda Nobunaga.
30
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:01,649
In the mountain where the
vanguard approached,
31
00:03:01,782 --> 00:03:05,519
a young Takeda vassal advanced alone.
32
00:03:39,653 --> 00:03:42,489
Sir Genjiro, it's too
dangerous beyond this.
33
00:03:42,556 --> 00:03:43,924
We came this far.
34
00:03:44,491 --> 00:03:46,860
If we're caught by the
enemy, we are goners.
35
00:03:47,328 --> 00:03:49,496
So, just don't get caught.
36
00:04:21,362 --> 00:04:22,663
That's the Tokugawa army.
37
00:04:22,963 --> 00:04:23,797
Let's turn back.
38
00:04:24,098 --> 00:04:26,700
I wonder who the general is.
Is it someone noteworthy?
39
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:27,601
Sir Genjiro!
40
00:04:37,177 --> 00:04:38,112
Intruders!
41
00:04:54,695 --> 00:04:55,529
Excuse me.
42
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,331
This youth who is frantically
fleeing from the hollyhock flags...
43
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:48,315
would, 33 years later,
44
00:05:50,517 --> 00:05:52,186
in the Osaka Summer Campaign,
45
00:05:52,453 --> 00:05:55,355
almost corner Tokugawa
Ieyasu into suicide,
46
00:05:57,091 --> 00:06:00,861
and be famed as the bravest man in Japan.
47
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:16,443
Right now, he can only frantically flee.
48
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:25,519
{\an8}SANADA GENJIRO NOBUSHIGE
49
00:06:27,221 --> 00:06:34,194
{\an8}SUWA - UEHARA CASTLE
50
00:06:39,833 --> 00:06:43,036
Meanwhile, Takeda Shingen's
son, Katsuyori,
51
00:06:43,937 --> 00:06:47,674
{\an8}was at Uehara Castle preparing
for Oda Nobunaga's invasion.
52
00:06:51,812 --> 00:06:54,448
The Uesugi in the north,
the Hojo in the east,
53
00:06:54,681 --> 00:06:57,351
the Oda in the west, and
the Tokugawa in the south.
54
00:06:57,584 --> 00:06:59,219
Surrounded by powerful daimyo clans,
55
00:06:59,286 --> 00:07:01,855
the Takeda waited for a chance
to recover their power.
56
00:07:02,356 --> 00:07:05,759
But Katsuyori's brother-in-law,
Kiso Yoshimasa,
57
00:07:05,993 --> 00:07:07,861
suddenly betrayed them for the Oda.
58
00:07:10,397 --> 00:07:14,968
Using this opportunity,
Nobunaga advanced his army.
59
00:07:34,888 --> 00:07:37,291
Sir Anayama... I thought
you were in Suruga.
60
00:07:37,758 --> 00:07:40,027
{\an8}ANAYAMA BAISETSU
61
00:07:40,093 --> 00:07:43,530
{\an8}I came back to invigorate
you unsettled men.
62
00:07:43,597 --> 00:07:45,432
How reassuring, Baisetsu.
63
00:07:45,766 --> 00:07:49,203
Ogasawara Nobumine at Matsuo Castle
64
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:51,205
has yielded to the Oda.
65
00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:53,006
What?
66
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:54,808
Ogasawara did?
67
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:56,910
{\an8}What an ingrate!
68
00:07:57,044 --> 00:07:59,379
{\an8}Let us send an army at once
to punish Ogasawara.
69
00:07:59,446 --> 00:08:01,415
Lord, we must act quickly...
70
00:08:01,515 --> 00:08:04,585
{\an8}to stop further betrayals.
71
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:07,721
No... we should return
to Shinpu Castle for now.
72
00:08:07,921 --> 00:08:09,456
Sir Anayama, what are you saying?
73
00:08:09,523 --> 00:08:13,193
The Oda army is already
approaching Tenryu River.
74
00:08:14,294 --> 00:08:17,898
We should return to our base
in Shinpu immediately,
75
00:08:18,365 --> 00:08:20,300
and regroup our allies.
76
00:08:20,367 --> 00:08:22,903
Are you suggesting we run from the Oda?
77
00:08:23,637 --> 00:08:25,706
Your inaction is the cause!
78
00:08:25,772 --> 00:08:26,607
What?!
79
00:08:26,673 --> 00:08:27,507
Stop!
80
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:35,215
Lord of Awa, what is your thought?
81
00:08:47,561 --> 00:08:49,162
If I may humbly speak...
82
00:08:51,932 --> 00:08:54,568
{\an8}I agree with Sir Anayama.
83
00:08:54,635 --> 00:08:57,237
{\an8}We should return to Shinpu.
84
00:08:57,304 --> 00:08:58,772
Are you seized with fear?
85
00:08:58,839 --> 00:09:02,809
Having lost Kiso Yoshimasa,
our main defense in the west,
86
00:09:03,176 --> 00:09:06,613
means our fief's west side
is open for attack.
87
00:09:07,014 --> 00:09:08,048
{\an8}SANADA NOBUYUKI
88
00:09:08,115 --> 00:09:10,918
{\an8}If Yoshimasa allows the
Oda army to surge through,
89
00:09:11,518 --> 00:09:13,153
{\an8}our allies will be crushed.
90
00:09:14,521 --> 00:09:18,191
The best thing to do now
is to retreat to Shinpu.
91
00:09:22,162 --> 00:09:23,530
You must read the tide.
92
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:26,333
Now is the time to withdraw.
93
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,101
We must build our power and wait.
94
00:09:28,802 --> 00:09:29,937
What do we do with Kiso?
95
00:09:30,537 --> 00:09:32,539
We'll punish him later.
96
00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:35,909
I'll personally spearhead it.
97
00:09:37,077 --> 00:09:39,446
I'll use the tactics I learned
from Lord Shingen
98
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:43,350
to take Yoshimasa's head.
99
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,935
Ogasawara's betrayal is hurting us.
100
00:10:04,771 --> 00:10:08,442
We must take measures
to prevent more betrayals.
101
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:13,447
There is no trace of the unity
that the Takeda once boasted.
102
00:10:14,681 --> 00:10:18,719
That just shows how great
Lord Shingen was.
103
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,224
Lord of Awa, even if we
are the only ones left,
104
00:10:24,691 --> 00:10:26,293
let us protect our master,
105
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,762
and fight for the Takeda.
106
00:10:28,829 --> 00:10:29,863
Absolutely.
107
00:10:31,198 --> 00:10:33,133
This is do-or-die. I'm counting on you.
108
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:35,135
Certainly.
109
00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:48,081
Sanada Masayuki...
110
00:10:49,383 --> 00:10:51,385
In the Battle of Sekigahara,
111
00:10:51,518 --> 00:10:54,888
he holed up in the Shinshu
Ueda Castle with a small force,
112
00:10:55,188 --> 00:10:57,858
and baffled the Tokugawa army of 38,000.
113
00:10:58,191 --> 00:11:00,394
He was a renowned general
of the warring era.
114
00:11:01,528 --> 00:11:06,600
However, at this time, Masayuki
was still a Takeda vassal.
115
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:11,671
Genzaburo, return to Shinpu first.
116
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:12,973
Very well.
117
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,042
More than the west,
118
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:18,211
I fear the south.
119
00:11:19,446 --> 00:11:22,516
The Tokugawa should be
advancing into Suruga soon.
120
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:24,551
Right.
121
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:27,120
I'll check out the situation.
122
00:11:34,461 --> 00:11:37,964
At this time, Sanada Masayuki's family...
123
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:41,468
was living in Shinpu, Kai,
the Takeda's home fief.
124
00:11:43,537 --> 00:11:45,138
{\an8}KAI SHINPU CASTLE,
SANADA MANSION
125
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:48,742
{\an8}The lords in the warring era,
to prevent betrayals by vassals,
126
00:11:48,809 --> 00:11:50,811
{\an8}would keep their families
in the castle towns.
127
00:11:51,678 --> 00:11:53,213
In short, they were hostages.
128
00:11:57,851 --> 00:12:00,087
Careful! They are expensive.
129
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:03,190
Handle them with care.
130
00:12:05,025 --> 00:12:08,562
{\an8}Handle that robe from the
Konoe in Kyoto with care!
131
00:12:08,862 --> 00:12:09,696
Yes.
132
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,434
Yes?
133
00:12:28,448 --> 00:12:33,353
{\an8}TORI
134
00:12:34,488 --> 00:12:39,559
Say... how strong is Oda Nobunaga?
135
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:42,662
I can't say this out loud,
136
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:45,198
but he might be the strongest in Japan.
137
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:47,367
{\an8}Stronger than the Takeda?
138
00:12:47,367 --> 00:12:49,035
{\an8}MATSU
139
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:53,473
{\an8}In Nagashino, the Takeda
cavalry was defenseless.
140
00:12:54,007 --> 00:12:56,476
What will become of the Takeda clan?
141
00:12:56,543 --> 00:12:57,978
I don't know.
142
00:12:58,044 --> 00:12:59,779
Will we end up like Lord Imagawa?
143
00:13:00,814 --> 00:13:01,681
{\an8}OYAMADA SHIGEZO
144
00:13:01,748 --> 00:13:03,583
{\an8}He's Lord Shingen's heir.
145
00:13:03,917 --> 00:13:05,519
{\an8}He'll probably be all right.
146
00:13:06,486 --> 00:13:08,021
I'm worried.
147
00:13:10,757 --> 00:13:15,128
Well, we have your father.
148
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:18,532
Brother! Sister! You're both here!
149
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:20,233
Genjiro.
150
00:13:21,568 --> 00:13:24,404
Have you adjusted to your new life?
151
00:13:25,272 --> 00:13:27,140
We are enjoying it here.
152
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:28,141
Right?
153
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:31,044
Matsu, you've gotten prettier.
154
00:13:31,111 --> 00:13:33,013
I won't buy that flattery.
155
00:13:33,246 --> 00:13:36,383
By the way, Genjiro...
is the battle going to start?
156
00:13:36,449 --> 00:13:37,784
Don't ask me.
157
00:13:37,851 --> 00:13:38,685
Who should I ask?
158
00:13:38,885 --> 00:13:40,554
Oda Nobunaga!
159
00:13:46,893 --> 00:13:48,995
Don't worry.
160
00:13:49,262 --> 00:13:50,497
Even if we go to battle,
161
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:55,402
this is a castle that Father had
put his all into for the Lord.
162
00:13:55,602 --> 00:13:57,470
Even the Oda can't seize it.
163
00:13:57,604 --> 00:13:58,505
Isn't that right, Brother?
164
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:01,208
Didn't I tell you not to worry?
165
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:02,809
I hope you're right.
166
00:14:04,110 --> 00:14:07,013
Genjiro, I've been meaning
to ask you this.
167
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:07,747
What is it?
168
00:14:08,515 --> 00:14:10,050
For you brothers,
169
00:14:10,116 --> 00:14:14,588
why is the eldest named Genzaburo
and the second called Genjiro?
170
00:14:14,654 --> 00:14:16,256
I was wondering about that, too.
171
00:14:16,323 --> 00:14:19,893
Isn't it because the eldest tends
to die young in the Sanada,
172
00:14:20,060 --> 00:14:23,797
so to thwart that, they named
the first boy Genzaburo.
173
00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:24,764
That's what Father...
174
00:14:24,831 --> 00:14:25,699
I didn't know that.
175
00:14:26,967 --> 00:14:28,802
What about Genjiro?
176
00:14:29,436 --> 00:14:32,305
After Genzaburo, it would
normally be Genshiro.
177
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:34,708
He's the second son, so he's Genjiro.
178
00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:36,443
There's no twist to that?
179
00:14:36,776 --> 00:14:39,112
Father can be halfhearted.
180
00:14:39,179 --> 00:14:40,981
He's not bothered by details.
181
00:14:41,314 --> 00:14:43,216
That's what I like about Father.
182
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:49,789
When I entered Suruga,
183
00:14:49,856 --> 00:14:52,359
I bumped into a Tokugawa
scout at Abe River.
184
00:14:52,826 --> 00:14:54,794
The Tokugawa army is
approaching the border.
185
00:14:54,861 --> 00:14:57,097
They must be waiting for
the Oda in the west to act,
186
00:14:57,163 --> 00:14:59,199
to concert an attack.
187
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:03,903
To keep them in the dark on our moves,
188
00:15:04,137 --> 00:15:05,739
let us kill the scouts.
189
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:08,375
What is it?
190
00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:10,844
Genjiro.
191
00:15:12,212 --> 00:15:14,047
Do you realize what you've done?
192
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:17,851
Who gave you permission
to go to that dangerous place?
193
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:19,419
Don't act on your own!
194
00:15:20,453 --> 00:15:22,622
Brother, you are the Takeda's hostage,
195
00:15:23,023 --> 00:15:24,691
whereas I'm not.
196
00:15:25,025 --> 00:15:28,461
Being the second son, I can move freely.
197
00:15:28,528 --> 00:15:30,497
I'm taking advantage of that.
198
00:15:30,563 --> 00:15:33,533
The battle that threatens the
Takeda's survival has started.
199
00:15:33,833 --> 00:15:36,903
Things will get out of control
if everyone acted on their own.
200
00:15:36,970 --> 00:15:40,607
I know that, but if our
survival rides on this battle,
201
00:15:40,674 --> 00:15:44,077
we should always be a step ahead.
202
00:15:44,177 --> 00:15:47,280
That's for Father, the head of
the Sanada, to think about.
203
00:15:47,981 --> 00:15:49,983
We should merely follow his orders.
204
00:15:53,386 --> 00:15:54,454
What's that look?
205
00:15:56,222 --> 00:15:58,992
I'm sorry for acting out of line.
206
00:15:59,526 --> 00:16:00,193
But...
207
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:01,728
Don't say anymore.
208
00:16:03,997 --> 00:16:06,833
Everyone was focused on
the Oda in the west,
209
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:08,802
so I got worried about the south.
210
00:16:12,372 --> 00:16:13,973
More than the west,
211
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:15,842
I fear the south.
212
00:16:18,111 --> 00:16:21,581
You got worried about the south?
213
00:16:23,049 --> 00:16:23,883
Yes.
214
00:16:32,092 --> 00:16:34,994
Father will eventually hear of this.
215
00:16:35,562 --> 00:16:37,597
Father will be more furious than I.
216
00:16:38,465 --> 00:16:41,201
You should apologize
to him directly first.
217
00:16:42,068 --> 00:16:43,303
I'll apologize with you.
218
00:16:45,071 --> 00:16:46,639
Thank you, Brother.
219
00:16:50,744 --> 00:16:51,578
Genjiro.
220
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:54,848
This is a critical time for us.
221
00:16:56,983 --> 00:16:58,485
It's finally going to start...
222
00:16:59,552 --> 00:17:01,588
our war with the formidable Oda!
223
00:17:02,756 --> 00:17:03,590
Right!
224
00:17:11,398 --> 00:17:14,134
{\an8}TAKANASHI NAIKI
225
00:17:14,167 --> 00:17:15,101
{\an8}Open the gate!
226
00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:17,504
{\an8}The Lord has returned!
227
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:29,315
It had been a month since
Masayuki saw his family.
228
00:17:31,785 --> 00:17:34,821
I'm glad you are all well.
229
00:17:37,857 --> 00:17:38,758
Shigemasa.
230
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:42,729
Is Matsu doing her duties as your wife?
231
00:17:42,829 --> 00:17:43,663
That is...
232
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:45,832
I am the ideal wife.
233
00:17:46,499 --> 00:17:47,333
Right?
234
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:49,402
That's good to hear.
235
00:17:53,773 --> 00:17:55,442
Why the glum look?
236
00:17:55,675 --> 00:17:58,011
I haven't been home in a while.
237
00:17:58,278 --> 00:18:01,281
Kiso Yoshimasa's mother and
children were taken earlier.
238
00:18:01,347 --> 00:18:03,316
They were brutally crucified.
239
00:18:03,383 --> 00:18:05,885
Kiso betrayed us.
It couldn't be avoided.
240
00:18:05,985 --> 00:18:10,190
His daughter was 17,
and his heir was only 13.
241
00:18:10,256 --> 00:18:12,292
That's how it is with hostages.
242
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:16,129
Lord, you realize that we
are hostages, too, don't you?
243
00:18:16,196 --> 00:18:17,030
Yes, of course.
244
00:18:17,330 --> 00:18:20,433
We're safe, aren't we?
You won't commit betrayal?
245
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:21,835
Stop being ridiculous.
246
00:18:22,168 --> 00:18:26,639
Mother, Father wouldn't betray the Lord.
247
00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:29,609
I must say, Kiso Yoshimasa
really surprised me.
248
00:18:29,742 --> 00:18:33,279
He's Lord Shingen's son-in-law,
which makes him a relative.
249
00:18:33,746 --> 00:18:35,081
What is this world coming to?
250
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,284
Lord Shingen must be turning in his grave.
251
00:18:38,351 --> 00:18:40,887
What will become of the Takeda clan?
252
00:18:40,954 --> 00:18:41,821
Stop worrying.
253
00:18:41,888 --> 00:18:43,656
Will the Oda invade us?
254
00:18:43,723 --> 00:18:46,025
Mother is ready to flee.
255
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:47,861
That's being hasty.
256
00:18:47,927 --> 00:18:49,429
It's no laughing matter!
257
00:18:50,997 --> 00:18:55,268
True, we're surrounded by the
Oda forces on three sides.
258
00:18:56,202 --> 00:19:01,875
They are waiting for Nobunaga's
order to move in at once.
259
00:19:02,775 --> 00:19:04,043
Listen to me.
260
00:19:05,044 --> 00:19:08,882
Shinpu Castle was built with all my wits.
261
00:19:09,148 --> 00:19:11,017
It's a famous castle.
262
00:19:11,351 --> 00:19:14,754
Shinpu is the safest place.
263
00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:17,824
Mother, didn't I tell you so?
264
00:19:18,224 --> 00:19:21,928
I want to go back to our Sanada homeland.
265
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:23,329
Grandmother.
266
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:25,698
I refuse to die here.
267
00:19:25,798 --> 00:19:28,334
Didn't you hear Father?
268
00:19:28,735 --> 00:19:30,503
This is the safest place to be.
269
00:19:32,438 --> 00:19:33,273
Huh?!
270
00:19:35,575 --> 00:19:37,844
You are safe here!
271
00:19:38,044 --> 00:19:38,878
Huh?
272
00:19:41,014 --> 00:19:43,283
Grandmother, please don't be impossible.
273
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:44,217
I'm not.
274
00:19:44,284 --> 00:19:46,786
Grandmother is well aware of that.
275
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,055
She just wanted to whine.
276
00:19:49,289 --> 00:19:50,156
Isn't that right?
277
00:19:52,892 --> 00:19:54,127
Don't worry.
278
00:19:56,029 --> 00:20:00,867
While I am alive, the Takeda
clan won't cease.
279
00:20:09,609 --> 00:20:10,910
The Takeda will meet with demise.
280
00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:12,745
What?
281
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:15,481
I'll prolong it for as long as I can.
282
00:20:16,816 --> 00:20:19,419
But there's a limit to what I can do.
283
00:20:20,687 --> 00:20:23,823
Are the Oda that strong?
284
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:24,724
Yes, they are.
285
00:20:25,858 --> 00:20:27,860
No comparison from the Nagashino battle.
286
00:20:29,662 --> 00:20:30,496
Genjiro.
287
00:20:31,397 --> 00:20:35,602
Father, I went to scout
the south side on my own.
288
00:20:36,035 --> 00:20:38,338
Forgive me for acting out of line.
289
00:20:38,705 --> 00:20:42,175
As a result, we are updated
on the Tokugawa's moves.
290
00:20:42,642 --> 00:20:45,078
Please forgive Genjiro.
291
00:20:45,845 --> 00:20:46,679
Give him a report.
292
00:20:46,946 --> 00:20:48,514
From what I could see,
the Tokugawa army...
293
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:49,415
Never mind.
294
00:20:49,983 --> 00:20:51,050
Not interested.
295
00:20:51,985 --> 00:20:53,152
But...!
296
00:20:55,655 --> 00:20:57,624
I've decided to abandon this castle.
297
00:20:57,924 --> 00:20:58,758
What?!
298
00:20:59,225 --> 00:21:00,893
This castle won't hold.
299
00:21:01,961 --> 00:21:05,365
But this is a famous castle!
300
00:21:05,632 --> 00:21:06,532
Who said that?
301
00:21:08,434 --> 00:21:09,902
You did.
302
00:21:11,104 --> 00:21:13,272
It was supposed to be one down the road.
303
00:21:14,207 --> 00:21:16,409
But it's not completed yet.
304
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:19,312
The Oda will be attacking too soon.
305
00:21:20,246 --> 00:21:22,148
But...!
306
00:21:22,415 --> 00:21:24,817
What will you do,
after you abandon Shinpu?
307
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:28,121
I have a plan.
308
00:21:28,855 --> 00:21:29,689
Plan?
309
00:21:30,757 --> 00:21:32,425
Genzaburo, Genjiro, listen.
310
00:21:34,027 --> 00:21:36,663
This is an unprecedented
crisis for the Sanada.
311
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:40,633
A wrong step will lead
to the Sanada's demise.
312
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:47,006
We must do whatever it takes to survive.
313
00:21:49,676 --> 00:21:50,743
Keep that in mind.
314
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:53,146
We will.
315
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:01,187
Sometimes, I don't understand Father.
316
00:22:03,289 --> 00:22:08,394
His ideas are too big for me to follow.
317
00:22:09,896 --> 00:22:12,632
We will merely follow our leader's orders.
318
00:22:15,234 --> 00:22:17,804
If we do as Father says,
we won't go wrong.
319
00:22:22,108 --> 00:22:23,142
Do you think so?
320
00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:24,343
Probably.
321
00:22:24,744 --> 00:22:26,446
I thought I'd find you here.
322
00:22:26,512 --> 00:22:28,481
Sanjuro, how did you know?
323
00:22:28,548 --> 00:22:30,149
How could you leave me behind?
324
00:22:30,216 --> 00:22:32,552
He can be a pain.
325
00:22:32,985 --> 00:22:35,321
{\an8}Where you go, I go.
326
00:22:36,022 --> 00:22:38,257
{\an8}I'm instructed to keep my eyes on you.
327
00:22:41,327 --> 00:22:42,161
Sanjuro!
328
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:45,631
As one of the Sanada,
329
00:22:46,399 --> 00:22:49,869
don't forget this scenery.
330
00:22:50,737 --> 00:22:53,272
It'll be our last time seeing it.
331
00:23:05,184 --> 00:23:06,018
Look there.
332
00:23:31,577 --> 00:23:34,080
If my father were alive...
333
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:40,052
what would he have done?
334
00:23:51,230 --> 00:23:52,064
Then again...
335
00:23:54,033 --> 00:23:55,835
if my father were alive...
336
00:23:56,736 --> 00:23:58,938
we wouldn't be in this deep predicament.
337
00:23:59,872 --> 00:24:01,274
That was a foolish question.
338
00:24:13,319 --> 00:24:16,122
Is this province that my father built,
339
00:24:18,224 --> 00:24:20,293
going to be ruined by me?
340
00:24:23,529 --> 00:24:24,931
Rest assured.
341
00:24:26,199 --> 00:24:30,036
Lord Shingen's soul is with you.
342
00:24:32,271 --> 00:24:34,240
The day that you take Nobunaga's head,
343
00:24:35,441 --> 00:24:40,813
and have the Tokugawa, Hojo, and
Uesugi, submit to you, is near.
344
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,349
Isn't that right, Sanada?
345
00:24:44,784 --> 00:24:48,020
Lord, we are here for you.
346
00:24:51,357 --> 00:24:52,291
That's true.
347
00:24:57,196 --> 00:24:59,799
Unless Mount Fuji or Mount Asama erupts,
348
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,069
the Takeda clan is secure.
349
00:25:15,248 --> 00:25:18,584
On February 14th, after 48 years,
350
00:25:18,784 --> 00:25:20,453
Mount Asama erupted.
351
00:25:39,906 --> 00:25:43,576
Being it's a volcano,
it will erupt sometimes.
352
00:25:46,312 --> 00:25:47,146
Father!
353
00:25:49,282 --> 00:25:50,549
I have bad news.
354
00:25:50,616 --> 00:25:53,019
Lord, with Anayama Baisetsu's help,
355
00:25:53,085 --> 00:25:56,522
the Tokugawa army has
entered the Takeda fief.
356
00:25:56,589 --> 00:25:57,490
What?!
357
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:08,134
Anayama Baisetsu had
suddenly sided with the Oda.
358
00:26:08,935 --> 00:26:12,204
He had been in contact with
Oda/Tokugawa for a while.
359
00:26:12,438 --> 00:26:14,807
It was a carefully planned betrayal.
360
00:26:15,641 --> 00:26:18,077
This is it!
361
00:26:18,511 --> 00:26:20,780
Anayama Baisetsu is a chief
vassal in the clan!
362
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,751
His betrayal means the enemy
has information on our allies,
363
00:26:25,818 --> 00:26:28,587
our army distribution, and strategies.
364
00:26:28,654 --> 00:26:30,957
We are at a disadvantage.
365
00:26:32,024 --> 00:26:34,894
At this point, we are forced
to hole up in this castle,
366
00:26:35,294 --> 00:26:37,863
and fight them from here.
367
00:26:38,230 --> 00:26:41,067
No... rather than starve
and wait for death,
368
00:26:41,133 --> 00:26:42,868
we should die gloriously.
369
00:26:43,336 --> 00:26:45,237
Let's launch a full-scale
attack on the Oda.
370
00:26:46,105 --> 00:26:48,641
Let's show them the Takeda honor!
371
00:26:48,708 --> 00:26:49,575
Please wait.
372
00:26:51,877 --> 00:26:55,614
It's not a sure defeat yet.
373
00:26:55,748 --> 00:26:57,316
We have run out of luck!
374
00:26:57,383 --> 00:26:58,484
That is not true.
375
00:26:58,551 --> 00:27:00,686
The Takeda's pillar is now
supporting the enemy.
376
00:27:01,087 --> 00:27:02,955
We have another pillar.
377
00:27:10,596 --> 00:27:16,035
Lord, please come to my Iwabitsu Castle.
378
00:27:17,136 --> 00:27:18,170
Iwabitsu?
379
00:27:18,537 --> 00:27:20,539
And leave Kai?
380
00:27:20,773 --> 00:27:24,243
Right. Shinpu Castle was
only built a year ago.
381
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:26,979
The defense is not solid.
382
00:27:27,613 --> 00:27:30,182
It won't be wise to hole up in the castle.
383
00:27:30,516 --> 00:27:32,852
Which is why we'll sally out.
384
00:27:32,918 --> 00:27:34,086
That is reckless.
385
00:27:35,187 --> 00:27:37,223
Are you planning to destroy the Takeda?
386
00:27:37,757 --> 00:27:41,460
With our cavalry, we may be
able to cleave a path to victory!
387
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:45,031
The path to victory can't be
cleaved in that manner.
388
00:27:47,066 --> 00:27:48,734
Only for those who don't
act in desperation,
389
00:27:49,068 --> 00:27:51,737
and keep their hopes up,
390
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:53,973
will the path open up.
391
00:27:56,609 --> 00:28:00,980
I have built impregnable
defenses at Iwabitsu.
392
00:28:02,048 --> 00:28:05,951
With my younger brother Nobutada
defending Numata Castle in the east,
393
00:28:06,018 --> 00:28:09,355
and my son Nobuyuki defending
Toishi Castle in the west,
394
00:28:10,122 --> 00:28:14,427
the path that connects Shinano and Kozuke
395
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:17,930
will become a great stronghold.
396
00:28:22,501 --> 00:28:26,705
Lord, please come to Iwabitsu.
397
00:28:28,107 --> 00:28:30,643
Let's build our strength for a comeback.
398
00:28:32,244 --> 00:28:35,981
While I am alive,
399
00:28:37,283 --> 00:28:39,051
the Takeda will not cease.
400
00:28:49,261 --> 00:28:50,096
All right.
401
00:28:52,798 --> 00:28:53,899
I will go to Iwabitsu.
402
00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:07,279
Iwabitsu was a mountaintop
castle situated northeast
403
00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:10,116
of Shinpu Castle in Agatsuma-gun, Kozuke.
404
00:29:11,183 --> 00:29:13,486
It is the pivotal point in the Sanada fief
405
00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:15,721
that extends from Shinshu to Joshu.
406
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:24,830
In order to prepare for
Katsuyori's arrival,
407
00:29:25,064 --> 00:29:27,600
Masayuki headed to Iwabitsu first.
408
00:29:28,601 --> 00:29:31,670
Genzaburo, watch over the Lord.
409
00:29:32,037 --> 00:29:32,938
Very well.
410
00:29:33,172 --> 00:29:34,206
I'll be waiting in Iwabitsu.
411
00:29:36,142 --> 00:29:36,976
Genjiro.
412
00:29:38,043 --> 00:29:39,578
Support your brother.
413
00:29:39,645 --> 00:29:40,546
Very well.
414
00:29:53,826 --> 00:29:57,396
Iwabitsu is indeed the best
castle to confront the Oda.
415
00:29:57,663 --> 00:29:59,365
It's far better than here.
416
00:30:01,333 --> 00:30:02,835
I have to hand it to Father.
417
00:30:08,974 --> 00:30:12,478
Lord, I would advise you
not to go to Iwabitsu.
418
00:30:12,611 --> 00:30:14,313
What are you saying at this point?
419
00:30:14,713 --> 00:30:16,815
It's dangerous in Iwabitsu.
420
00:30:16,882 --> 00:30:22,054
Sanada hasn't served the Takeda for long.
421
00:30:22,555 --> 00:30:26,025
You can't fully trust him.
422
00:30:26,258 --> 00:30:27,426
You think it's a trap?
423
00:30:28,227 --> 00:30:30,529
There is that possibility.
424
00:30:33,232 --> 00:30:36,001
Besides, there are unsavory
rumors about Sanada.
425
00:30:37,703 --> 00:30:38,837
He's secretly...
426
00:30:41,307 --> 00:30:43,742
connected to the Hojo.
427
00:30:45,177 --> 00:30:46,045
Impossible.
428
00:30:46,111 --> 00:30:49,281
They are actively writing
letters to each other.
429
00:30:57,690 --> 00:31:02,294
Lord, please come to my Iwadono Castle.
430
00:31:03,829 --> 00:31:04,830
Iwadono?
431
00:31:05,464 --> 00:31:06,799
With Sasago Pass on the west,
432
00:31:06,899 --> 00:31:10,035
and cliffs on the north and south,
it's a natural stronghold.
433
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:13,939
It is the best place to confront the Oda.
434
00:31:14,139 --> 00:31:18,043
That is the consensus.
435
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:22,748
Lord, you are the ruler of Kai.
436
00:31:23,816 --> 00:31:27,920
You can't readily abandon
Lord Shingen's authority in Kai
437
00:31:28,954 --> 00:31:31,991
and hole up in the mountains of Joshu.
438
00:31:34,526 --> 00:31:36,061
Even if you were to survive,
439
00:31:37,296 --> 00:31:41,800
would that make your late father happy?
440
00:32:22,908 --> 00:32:24,143
Brother, it's your turn.
441
00:32:25,978 --> 00:32:26,812
Genjiro, enough.
442
00:32:26,879 --> 00:32:28,113
Why?
443
00:32:28,180 --> 00:32:29,248
Is it something we should be doing now?
444
00:32:29,315 --> 00:32:32,184
We don't know when we can do this again.
445
00:32:33,018 --> 00:32:35,087
Instead of playing a children's game,
446
00:32:35,154 --> 00:32:36,588
let's play serious shogi.
447
00:32:37,356 --> 00:32:41,460
But it's no fun playing shogi with you.
448
00:32:42,094 --> 00:32:42,928
Why?
449
00:32:43,262 --> 00:32:45,431
You're too honest in your strategies.
450
00:32:45,597 --> 00:32:48,734
If anything, it's boring.
451
00:32:49,335 --> 00:32:52,971
You say that because you can't beat me.
452
00:32:53,038 --> 00:32:55,374
The leveling strategy
can't be taken lightly.
453
00:32:55,441 --> 00:32:59,712
You can't use your favorite
standard moves and it's deep.
454
00:33:00,112 --> 00:33:00,979
Do you give up?
455
00:33:01,046 --> 00:33:01,880
Seriously!
456
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:05,551
There are standard moves
for the leveling strategy.
457
00:33:08,387 --> 00:33:11,890
First of all... don't push it.
458
00:33:19,698 --> 00:33:20,532
Who's there?!
459
00:33:32,911 --> 00:33:33,779
Lord...?
460
00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:45,124
I am departing tomorrow.
461
00:33:46,258 --> 00:33:48,327
We will escort you.
462
00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:53,232
I'm going to Iwadono Castle.
463
00:33:53,999 --> 00:33:55,033
Not Iwabitsu.
464
00:33:57,002 --> 00:33:57,836
Iwadono?
465
00:34:03,375 --> 00:34:04,877
What do you mean?
466
00:34:06,912 --> 00:34:10,215
I cannot leave Kai.
467
00:34:11,817 --> 00:34:15,287
My father established Kai.
468
00:34:17,823 --> 00:34:18,757
But...
469
00:34:20,659 --> 00:34:24,229
I feel badly towards Masayuki.
470
00:34:28,333 --> 00:34:29,535
I am departing tomorrow.
471
00:34:30,702 --> 00:34:32,938
But you need not follow me.
472
00:34:34,473 --> 00:34:35,607
Head to Iwabitsu.
473
00:34:39,678 --> 00:34:43,449
You are hereby freed as a Takeda hostage.
474
00:34:44,716 --> 00:34:45,918
You can do as you wish.
475
00:34:49,188 --> 00:34:50,355
But...
476
00:34:57,062 --> 00:34:58,030
This is to certify it.
477
00:35:03,135 --> 00:35:05,971
You may come across the
Oda forces along the way.
478
00:35:07,072 --> 00:35:09,241
I will provide you with a hundred men.
479
00:35:10,576 --> 00:35:11,910
Sorry it's not many.
480
00:35:13,545 --> 00:35:15,347
I am very honored.
481
00:35:16,949 --> 00:35:20,352
Didn't you have an older sister?
482
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:23,455
Yes.
483
00:35:24,256 --> 00:35:28,894
Didn't she marry into
Oyamada Nobushige's family?
484
00:35:29,795 --> 00:35:31,263
That is correct.
485
00:35:32,364 --> 00:35:36,502
Take her with you to Iwabitsu.
486
00:35:36,935 --> 00:35:40,639
But she is Oyamada's hostage.
487
00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:42,608
The Sanada can't take her in.
488
00:35:42,674 --> 00:35:43,942
I decided on it.
489
00:35:45,744 --> 00:35:47,379
No one can complain.
490
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:50,983
That is all.
491
00:35:53,185 --> 00:35:56,788
My men will set this place
on fire tomorrow.
492
00:35:57,756 --> 00:35:59,258
You should leave at once.
493
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,195
Very well.
494
00:36:09,735 --> 00:36:12,371
I believe his words of
concern for the Takeda...
495
00:36:14,306 --> 00:36:16,341
were sincere.
496
00:36:24,349 --> 00:36:26,318
Returning your sister to the Sanada,
497
00:36:27,352 --> 00:36:28,320
is proof of that.
498
00:36:32,858 --> 00:36:37,930
Thank you for your consideration.
499
00:36:40,432 --> 00:36:41,266
I'm leaving.
500
00:36:42,267 --> 00:36:43,135
Lord!
501
00:36:43,201 --> 00:36:44,036
Genjiro!
502
00:36:44,937 --> 00:36:47,039
Lord Shingen is dead!
503
00:36:47,272 --> 00:36:49,041
Genjiro! Insolent!
504
00:36:49,374 --> 00:36:50,709
Please reconsider.
505
00:36:51,810 --> 00:36:56,114
Come with us to Iwabitsu.
506
00:37:09,361 --> 00:37:10,429
Sorry to intrude.
507
00:37:13,699 --> 00:37:14,733
Lord!
508
00:37:17,636 --> 00:37:21,673
We would like to give you a farewell gift.
509
00:37:23,175 --> 00:37:28,046
Please take your 100 men
to Iwadono with you.
510
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:30,482
You don't need them?
511
00:37:30,716 --> 00:37:34,686
Yes. You are the banner for the Sanada.
512
00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:39,091
Your survival will lead to
the Sanada's comeback.
513
00:37:40,492 --> 00:37:45,130
Reducing your guards, defies our will.
514
00:37:49,434 --> 00:37:52,571
Will you be safe on your own?
515
00:37:54,306 --> 00:37:56,708
We are Sanada's children.
516
00:37:57,409 --> 00:37:58,944
We won't be easily killed.
517
00:38:01,146 --> 00:38:05,183
Please do not worry about us.
518
00:38:12,724 --> 00:38:13,659
Sanada...
519
00:38:16,695 --> 00:38:18,030
is a good clan.
520
00:38:38,350 --> 00:38:43,689
The Lord... is a kind man.
521
00:38:45,424 --> 00:38:48,126
He's kind...
522
00:38:51,963 --> 00:38:53,331
and sad.
523
00:39:06,178 --> 00:39:08,180
The Lord should go to Iwabitsu.
524
00:39:09,981 --> 00:39:11,149
That, again?
525
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:14,653
They can't ward off the Oda at Iwadono.
526
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:18,890
It's useless to be dutiful
to the late Lord Shingen.
527
00:39:19,191 --> 00:39:20,158
Don't say anymore.
528
00:39:20,225 --> 00:39:21,960
You know I'm right.
529
00:39:33,672 --> 00:39:34,506
Sasuke!
530
00:39:38,343 --> 00:39:40,746
He chose to protect
Lord Shingen's authority...
531
00:39:41,313 --> 00:39:43,482
namely, the Takeda honor.
532
00:39:45,784 --> 00:39:48,487
That is one way of life.
533
00:39:50,489 --> 00:39:55,627
What was Shinpu anyway?
534
00:39:55,694 --> 00:39:59,531
Father spent a year to build this castle.
535
00:39:59,598 --> 00:40:01,800
But it'll turn into ashes.
536
00:40:04,770 --> 00:40:05,837
Did you call?
537
00:40:10,175 --> 00:40:11,676
Deliver this to my father in Iwabitsu.
538
00:40:12,144 --> 00:40:12,978
{\an8}Will do.
539
00:40:13,044 --> 00:40:14,546
{\an8}Sasuke, how are you?
540
00:40:14,846 --> 00:40:15,680
Good.
541
00:40:15,981 --> 00:40:18,316
I acquired new skills.
542
00:40:18,884 --> 00:40:19,718
Go quickly.
543
00:40:20,085 --> 00:40:20,919
Yes, sir!
544
00:40:23,455 --> 00:40:27,192
Father will be surprised.
545
00:40:30,295 --> 00:40:32,430
I have good news and bad news.
546
00:40:32,931 --> 00:40:33,965
The good news first.
547
00:40:34,499 --> 00:40:37,302
The Lord came by earlier.
548
00:40:38,170 --> 00:40:42,040
He freed us as hostages.
549
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:43,074
What?
550
00:40:43,141 --> 00:40:45,210
Mother, congratulations.
551
00:40:45,277 --> 00:40:47,045
Did he really?
552
00:40:47,112 --> 00:40:48,180
Yes, he did.
553
00:40:48,246 --> 00:40:50,315
Matsu can go home with us.
554
00:40:51,016 --> 00:40:51,983
Thank God!
555
00:40:52,384 --> 00:40:54,920
We owe it to the Oda invasion.
556
00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:57,956
What's the bad news?
557
00:41:00,025 --> 00:41:04,696
We are leaving Shinpu tomorrow
to meet up with Father in Iwabitsu.
558
00:41:05,197 --> 00:41:06,031
Iwabitsu?
559
00:41:06,298 --> 00:41:10,001
It will be just us.
We may meet Oda men en route.
560
00:41:10,302 --> 00:41:11,403
There may be bandits.
561
00:41:11,770 --> 00:41:14,706
There are farmers that
attack fleeing warriors.
562
00:41:14,773 --> 00:41:16,208
We are not fleeing warriors.
563
00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:19,044
The Takeda authority has no effect now.
564
00:41:20,178 --> 00:41:22,981
It will definitely not be an easy journey.
565
00:41:23,048 --> 00:41:23,849
No.
566
00:41:25,050 --> 00:41:25,784
Mother.
567
00:41:25,851 --> 00:41:26,885
I am staying here!
568
00:41:26,985 --> 00:41:28,019
You can't.
569
00:41:28,086 --> 00:41:30,789
Can't we leave when it's warmer?
570
00:41:31,022 --> 00:41:34,993
They will be setting Shinpu
Castle on fire tomorrow.
571
00:41:35,594 --> 00:41:36,695
Why?
572
00:41:37,429 --> 00:41:40,098
It's to prevent the Oda from capturing it.
573
00:41:40,165 --> 00:41:42,701
There won't be anyone here to protect you.
574
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:46,204
I suddenly feel depressed.
575
00:41:46,271 --> 00:41:48,573
Let us get ready.
576
00:41:52,677 --> 00:41:54,512
Don't worry, Mother.
577
00:41:54,579 --> 00:41:57,849
We'll manage somehow.
You have Brother and me.
578
00:41:58,083 --> 00:41:59,985
We'll be sure to protect you
until we reach Father.
579
00:42:00,418 --> 00:42:01,486
Please do.
580
00:42:01,887 --> 00:42:06,491
It won't be long before the
family is together again.
581
00:42:07,993 --> 00:42:09,661
It's not that simple.
582
00:42:09,728 --> 00:42:11,096
We'll pray.
583
00:42:11,162 --> 00:42:12,430
Stop whispering!
584
00:42:14,432 --> 00:42:15,967
You can count on us.
585
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:22,574
On March 3rd,
586
00:42:23,241 --> 00:42:25,176
Katsuyori left Shinpu Castle,
587
00:42:25,310 --> 00:42:26,878
to head to Iwadono Castle.
588
00:42:29,481 --> 00:42:31,683
Why can't I go with you?
589
00:42:32,150 --> 00:42:35,553
I don't know, but that's
what the Lord ordered.
590
00:42:37,222 --> 00:42:38,623
You will see him again soon.
591
00:42:39,491 --> 00:42:40,759
What are you going to do?
592
00:42:41,226 --> 00:42:44,195
We'll head to Iwabitsu first
to meet up with Father.
593
00:42:44,429 --> 00:42:47,165
We'll probably go to the
Sanada homeland later.
594
00:42:49,668 --> 00:42:51,903
When things settle down
in Iwadono, I'll come for you.
595
00:42:52,604 --> 00:42:54,706
We'll only be apart for a short while.
596
00:42:57,943 --> 00:42:59,077
Brother, it's time to go.
597
00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:02,714
I'll be going now.
598
00:43:14,326 --> 00:43:16,828
We must get going, too.
599
00:43:22,701 --> 00:43:25,170
Everyone, hurry!
600
00:43:25,737 --> 00:43:26,871
Hurry!
601
00:43:28,873 --> 00:43:30,075
Leave that!
602
00:43:30,909 --> 00:43:32,177
We're leaving shortly!
603
00:43:32,310 --> 00:43:33,311
Rush!
604
00:43:40,385 --> 00:43:43,989
Mother, hurry. Everyone is waiting.
605
00:43:44,055 --> 00:43:46,391
Pack them quickly.
606
00:43:55,033 --> 00:43:56,001
They're late.
607
00:43:57,435 --> 00:44:00,338
Word will spread quickly that
the Lord has left the castle.
608
00:44:00,705 --> 00:44:03,808
The later we leave,
the greater the danger.
609
00:44:04,209 --> 00:44:06,378
Doesn't Mother know that?
610
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:09,547
Where is Genjiro?
611
00:45:29,227 --> 00:45:30,662
Past noon that day...
612
00:45:31,696 --> 00:45:34,365
the Sanada family left Shinpu.
613
00:45:36,201 --> 00:45:40,405
From this point on, there
will be enemies everywhere.
614
00:45:40,472 --> 00:45:41,306
Let us hurry.
615
00:45:49,581 --> 00:45:52,317
It was 90 miles from Shinpu to Iwabitsu.
616
00:45:53,318 --> 00:45:55,854
It would take three days by foot.
617
00:46:06,431 --> 00:46:07,265
Look there.
618
00:46:28,019 --> 00:46:29,954
Shinpu Castle was burning.
619
00:46:33,691 --> 00:46:36,728
It was supposed to be the
Takeda's new resident castle.
620
00:46:38,830 --> 00:46:42,600
Katsuyori had only lived
there for a month.
621
00:46:52,443 --> 00:46:55,813
Takashima Castle in Suwa
has finally fallen.
622
00:46:59,684 --> 00:47:00,652
Takashima, too?
623
00:47:05,123 --> 00:47:06,891
Many more defected.
624
00:47:07,425 --> 00:47:12,564
The army of 600, when departing
Shinpu was reduced to 100.
625
00:47:16,167 --> 00:47:21,272
Lord, Iwadono is beyond that barrier.
626
00:47:22,907 --> 00:47:24,375
It will get steep from now.
627
00:47:24,876 --> 00:47:27,345
Lord, please take your time.
628
00:47:28,379 --> 00:47:30,582
I will go ahead to prepare
for your arrival.
629
00:47:30,648 --> 00:47:31,549
Yes, do that.
630
00:47:32,283 --> 00:47:33,117
Men, follow me.
631
00:47:58,643 --> 00:47:59,577
Shigemasa.
632
00:48:01,512 --> 00:48:02,547
Close the gate.
633
00:48:03,548 --> 00:48:04,382
What?
634
00:48:06,751 --> 00:48:09,854
Don't let the Lord in.
635
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:14,859
I don't understand.
636
00:48:28,273 --> 00:48:31,209
Shortly after that barrier
is Iwadono Castle.
637
00:48:48,059 --> 00:48:49,661
The Lord has arrived.
638
00:48:50,795 --> 00:48:51,796
Open the gate!
639
00:48:57,835 --> 00:48:58,803
What's the problem?
640
00:48:59,437 --> 00:49:02,774
We are heading to
Oyamada's Iwadono Castle.
641
00:49:04,008 --> 00:49:05,510
Let us through now!
642
00:49:17,121 --> 00:49:18,323
What is going on?
643
00:49:20,058 --> 00:49:22,193
I cannot open the gate.
644
00:49:23,261 --> 00:49:24,095
What?
645
00:49:25,330 --> 00:49:28,199
My master, Oyamada Nobushige,
646
00:49:29,033 --> 00:49:33,204
has decided to side with the Oda!
647
00:49:36,207 --> 00:49:37,508
Has he gone mad?!
648
00:49:38,276 --> 00:49:40,878
I cannot let anyone through!
649
00:49:41,546 --> 00:49:43,815
Please turn back!
650
00:49:44,415 --> 00:49:45,917
Where are we to go?
651
00:49:46,851 --> 00:49:49,187
Shinpu is reduced to ashes!
652
00:49:50,688 --> 00:49:52,790
I can't let you through.
653
00:49:53,157 --> 00:49:54,859
Damn Oyamada Nobushige!
654
00:49:54,926 --> 00:49:55,693
Let it be!
655
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:56,627
Lord!
656
00:50:03,735 --> 00:50:04,802
It's all right.
657
00:50:31,229 --> 00:50:33,297
Please forgive me.
658
00:50:55,353 --> 00:50:56,187
Where to?
659
00:51:03,928 --> 00:51:04,762
I don't know.
660
00:51:08,099 --> 00:51:12,069
The illustrious Takeda clan in Kai
was headed for doom.
661
00:51:13,104 --> 00:51:16,441
It also signified the end of an era.
662
00:51:23,181 --> 00:51:25,416
There will eventually be
major movement in history.
663
00:51:28,252 --> 00:51:30,721
With Kai, Shinano, and
Kozuke as the stage,
664
00:51:30,788 --> 00:51:36,194
the feudal lords vie ruthlessly as
the disturbance starts in 1582.
665
00:51:39,831 --> 00:51:44,202
Lord, the Oda army is
approaching Uozu Castle.
666
00:51:44,268 --> 00:51:46,003
{\an8}ECHIGO - KASUGAYAMA CASTLE
667
00:51:46,070 --> 00:51:47,939
{\an8}The army size is 40,000.
The generals are Shibata Katsuie,
668
00:51:48,339 --> 00:51:50,541
{\an8}Sassa Narimasa, and Maeda Toshiie.
669
00:51:50,608 --> 00:51:52,343
We will be surrounded.
670
00:51:52,410 --> 00:51:54,412
Lord, what should we do?
671
00:51:55,713 --> 00:51:59,717
{\an8}In the north, succeeding famed
general, Uesugi Kenshin,
672
00:51:59,784 --> 00:52:01,419
{\an8}of Echigo, was Kagekatsu.
673
00:52:01,486 --> 00:52:04,121
{\an8}UESUGI KAGEKATSU
674
00:52:05,089 --> 00:52:10,061
{\an8}SAGAMI - ODAWARA CASTLE
675
00:52:13,097 --> 00:52:17,902
In the east, the fourth generation
of peerless hero, Hojo Soun,
676
00:52:18,302 --> 00:52:19,403
was Hojo Ujimasa.
677
00:52:19,704 --> 00:52:25,042
{\an8}HOJO UJIMASA
678
00:52:26,377 --> 00:52:27,245
{\an8}Reporting!
679
00:52:27,411 --> 00:52:30,581
{\an8}Takeda Katsuyori fled from Shinpu.
680
00:52:30,615 --> 00:52:33,251
{\an8}SURUGA BORDER - TOKUGAWA CAMP
681
00:52:38,656 --> 00:52:41,759
In the south, was Tokugawa Ieyasu,
682
00:52:41,826 --> 00:52:45,930
who would later become
the Sanada's greatest foe.
683
00:52:45,963 --> 00:52:48,599
{\an8}TOKUGAWA IEYASU
684
00:52:55,006 --> 00:52:59,977
{\an8}OMI - AZUCHI CASTLE
685
00:53:00,077 --> 00:53:00,945
{\an8}Then there's...
686
00:53:01,979 --> 00:53:04,348
{\an8}the man who acquired
unprecedented territory,
687
00:53:04,482 --> 00:53:07,985
{\an8}and rose as ruler, Oda Nobunaga.
688
00:53:08,052 --> 00:53:10,721
{\an8}ODA NOBUNAGA
689
00:53:12,657 --> 00:53:15,760
Amidst all that, the Sanada family...
690
00:53:15,860 --> 00:53:18,663
traveled close together towards Iwabitsu.
691
00:53:20,264 --> 00:53:23,234
Under the Tokugawa,
Genzaburo will become
692
00:53:23,301 --> 00:53:27,104
lord of the 100,000-koku
Matsushiro clan in Shinano.
693
00:53:28,839 --> 00:53:29,840
Whereas...
694
00:53:30,541 --> 00:53:36,547
Genjiro will later be known
as Sanada Yukimura.
695
00:53:51,162 --> 00:53:51,996
Brother.
696
00:53:52,530 --> 00:53:53,364
Let's run.
697
00:53:53,431 --> 00:53:54,365
We're going to run.
698
00:53:54,665 --> 00:53:55,933
We have to run.
699
00:53:58,336 --> 00:53:59,070
Let's go!
700
00:54:19,790 --> 00:54:22,093
A small boat has sailed out
into the vast sea
701
00:54:22,159 --> 00:54:24,128
called the warring era.
702
00:54:25,129 --> 00:54:27,598
The name of the boat is Sanada Maru.
703
00:54:28,599 --> 00:54:31,102
It was an eventful sail off.
704
00:54:33,938 --> 00:54:37,842
END OF EPISODE 1
705
00:54:39,777 --> 00:54:40,544
{\an8}Genjiro!
706
00:54:40,611 --> 00:54:41,445
{\an8}Matsu!
707
00:54:41,612 --> 00:54:44,915
What are you up to?
708
00:54:45,082 --> 00:54:46,017
Father is...
709
00:54:46,083 --> 00:54:47,151
Silence!
710
00:54:47,451 --> 00:54:49,020
Who do you think I am?
711
00:54:49,353 --> 00:54:50,655
I know what the Sanada are up to.
712
00:54:50,821 --> 00:54:54,091
The supreme ruler of the
eastern provinces is Hojo.
713
00:54:54,458 --> 00:54:57,762
Save the weak and crush the strong.
714
00:54:58,029 --> 00:54:59,163
Isn't Tokugawa here yet?
715
00:54:59,230 --> 00:55:00,665
Where's Sanada?
716
00:55:00,831 --> 00:55:02,066
I dare you repeat that!
717
00:55:02,266 --> 00:55:03,501
Damn you!
718
00:55:03,567 --> 00:55:05,536
What did you do?!
719
00:55:05,736 --> 00:55:06,570
Sasuke!
720
00:55:08,673 --> 00:55:09,573
It's been a while.
721
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,409
You came to our rescue!
722
00:55:11,742 --> 00:55:12,410
Oh, Genjiro!
723
00:55:12,810 --> 00:55:15,546
Sir Genjiro, I'm glad you are alive.
724
00:55:16,647 --> 00:55:20,251
I am proud to be born as your son.
725
00:55:20,317 --> 00:55:22,920
The Takeda's demise is
something to celebrate.
726
00:55:23,087 --> 00:55:25,456
But why am I not happy?
727
00:55:25,690 --> 00:55:29,160
I'll do whatever it takes to
ensure the Sanada's survival.
728
00:55:29,593 --> 00:55:31,696
Here's to the beginning of my big gamble!
729
00:55:33,731 --> 00:55:38,869
