255 BC

Qin State, at the western edge of Chinese civilization

Look!

It's General Ouki.

He's one of Qin's 6 greatest generals!

His army's so majestic.

The great Ouki, who leads an army of thousands.

Amazing...

If was a time of war and upheaval,

The Warring States Period.

7 states were at war on the great continent.

Kings sent out generals with armies of hundreds of thousands.

but the 500 years of bloodshed showed no sign of ending.

In the great western state of Qin

the course of history changed by two boys.

Come!

You'll start work tomorrow oi daybreak.

Understood?

Look offer him.

I'm Hyou.

My name is Shin.

No! How many times have I told you?

Ouch!

Live up to the price I paid for you!

Hyou! Show him how to do it.

That lying slave merchant...

Blast it, I'm going to escape this hole!

You can't.

If you're born a slave, you're a slave forever.

Your kids are slaves, foo.

There's no climbing out of the slave class.

But there is one way...

With swords.

Swords?

This is not a sword...

Ouch!

What was that for?

We'll do this 10,000 times.

10,000 bouts?

How many is ihai?

Mcmy. Let's go!

Will I get out of here if I did that?

No! You'll be the greatest general on Earth!

The greatest general...

Spar like your life depends on if and become a general.

I'll be the greatest general on Earth!

And escape this hole!

You brute!

A bird!

No you don't!

Look.

- Who's that? - That old Trick!

Yes! I won!

334 wins, 332 losses, 587 draws out of 1253 bouts.

I'm 2 ahead. That's q first in a year.

Hey, you're out cold...

Old man, if if wasn't for you...

Back off, will you?

He's a noble warrior.

Who taught you swordsmqnship?

No one fought us!

I'll fake my leave.

Wait, old mun!

Come!

Why?

Who are those boys?

This encounter just might

change fate.

Your eminence, you came all this waly to my forsaken farm...

I am humbled.

Look, Hyou. H's that mun we met!

He's back!

Good work, Hyou, dear boy!

Never mind these sticks.

Dear boy...?

Thai is Lord Shoubunkun.

He's one of the King's chancellors.

He came To ask you 10 serve His Majesty.

That's it! He recognized our swordsmanship.

I'm in!

Shin, you go to the hut and work!

Hyou, you come over here.

Wait...

You'll work in the palace as of tomorrow.

Get ready. We'll leave now.

Me...at the palace...?

A war orphan can't pass up can opportunity like this.

If Shin comes with me!

Shin...?

Shin is as good as me. He'll serve the...

Hyou, you're the only one I'll take.

Accept the offer, dear boy.

What on honor to work for the King!

Can I have a day to think it over, sir?

HYOU!

As you wish.

I know you were listening...

We've been working hard to leave this life.

And one day become

the greatest generals.

But it's unfair if only I take this route...

Don't worry about me, you idiot!

You thougt I was worried?

I'm going.

Go ahead, Hyou.

Shin.

We're headed for the some place!

I'll soon get ahead of you!

We have more bouts to fight. Keep training.

Just you waif, Hyou!

It won't be long before we meet, Shin.

You just wait, Hyou.

I'll be so strong.

I'll be strong and get out of here!

Damn!

Just wait, Hyou.

I'll soon catch up!

I'm back...Shin.

HYOU!

What happened?

You'll be fine,

0P9“ your eyes!

What is it? Robbers?

Call the doctor!

Hyou... You're losing Cl lot of blood.

I won't need u doctor.

I'm glad I heard your voice one last time...

Last time...? That's not funny!

HYOU!

The King's brother staged a mutiny at the palace.

His men will trace my blood to this place.

Riten, when that happens...

Tell them you found me dead and you don't know me.

Lei them fake my body.

Never!

They're all dead if they fried.

I love that swagger of yours...

But now

I need you to do me a favor.

Go here.

It's a map.

H's near Kokuhi village.

I came to give you this. Leave now.

Why? I have no idea what this is about.

OK, Shin? Can I count on you?

Yes.

Yes, I'll do it. Just don't die...

So we'll be the greatest generals on Earth!

Don't break our promise.

We will be.

Shin, you're as strong as me. We share the same spirit.

You and I are one.

If you soar...

I'll soar with you.

Shin...

Together

we'll rule the world.

Hyou...

Hyou...

HYOU!

I'll kill them...

I'll kill lhem all!

Shin, can I count on you?

Is he there?

Go inside.

He's a double.

What?

Your assassin clan has 200 years of history but you were tricked.

Lord Saji.

The villagers are restless and asking questions.

Lord, it's late... what's going on?

Kill all the villagers who saw us.

Set fire to the village!

His sword is gone...

You're right. He's carrying a valuable sword.

You scored big for once.

Out of my way.

Give up your sword and you'll live.

Muster!

He's good.

Get him, all of you!

I have no time to waste on you!

If wasn't King Eisei.

His double was in a village burned down by General Saji.

We'll find him, Lord Seikyou.

And we'll deliver your brother, King Eisei's head to you.

King...?

I am the King!

I don't want the King or my brother dead.

I want Eisei, the criminal to die!

Hyou...

Why did I come here

instead of uvenging your death?

You owe me an explanation, Hyou.

Hyou...

Hyou.

How come...?

You're alive.

You're Shin?

Let's folk later.

I'll fake your life, King of Qin.

Eisei.

King oi Qin'?

You're Cl Shukyou assassin...

I had no idea the kid was your double. You fooled me.

He was some warrior.

Wait a second! What are you talking about?

What about a double?

The King...

The King's brother staged a mutiny at the palace.

Abandon hope, King.

No one in history has ever escaped my sword.

The King's head belongs to the Shukyou clan.

I'm beginning to understand...

I know what's going on!

You're the King

of Qin state.

Hyou closely resembled you...

So he was token to the palace to replace you

and was assassinated instead of you.

Hyou died in your place.

You asshole!

You can kill the King if you want, kid.

But his head is mine.

I will.

I'll kill him!

But first I'll kill you.

You killed Hyou.

I'll gut you for what you did to him!

You're as good as the double.

Stay down.

He can still move...!

Just focus on one thing.

Avenge Hyou. That's all you need to do.

Shut up.

Don't you dare mention his name!

You killed Hyou...

He...

Hyou...

Hyou will

never live again!

Die!

Your Majesty.

If I am killed

Shin will help you.

He'll jump higher

than anyone for you.

You killed Hyou...

Wait!

I have a family. I have 4 kids.

They'll be orphans if I died.

They'll become slaves.

Please lei me go...

You pay for your crimes.

What's next?

Will you kill me?

In that case

I won't die without a fight.

To honor those who died protecting me.

Including Hyou.

They're close.

What's ihcli?

It's my villqgem!

They'll come for us.

My brother conirols the army now...

They're the ones who were after Hyou.

It looks like I have to fight some more.

Coming?

Hey! You'd fake on cm army?

Sure.

Stay close.

Close?

I might kill you after I'm done with them!

Don't run.

This way!

H's on fire.

You coming or what'?

Yes. Do I have Cl choice?

Let's go.

I know you...!

Follow me. I know Cl way out.

A Wqv out?

I don't trust this robber!

Why help us?

Because you're the King. Kings are rich.

- You want money. - Is that bad?

No. I can trust your motives.

You trust someone who hides behind a mask?

I'm Karyouten.

You're Cl boy!

You know my face and name so let's go.

Lead us, Kclryou.

Call me Ten.

I can help you escape but

will you pay me if you're no longer King?

What kind of king loses his throne to his kid brother?

Which way?

To the left...

Don't be scared, sissy.

I am not a sissy.

The mutiny happened

because I was losing my hold.

A mutiny seemed likely so Shoubunkun came up with a plot.

He's the man who took Hyou away from me.

He met a young man who looked exactly like me.

He became my double just in case. That saved me.

Wait Cl second.

"Just in case"?

And you were saved?

Damn you!

Stop it!

You thought Hyou's life was of no value.

We promised to become the greatest generals on Earth.

Win many battles, live in grand homes

and eat incredible feasts!

I'm fighting c: war!

I'll use anything to win.

I'd certainly use you slaves.

But...

Hyou knew.

A double...?

You'll be safe. There are escape plans in place.

Don't fool him, Shoubunkun.

Is your name Hyou?

The truth is that there's no guarantee.

The enemy's blades may reach you.

In that case

you'll be killed instead of me.

No words?

Hyou.

I never dreamed I'd be assigned such can honorable duty.

You could die.

My friend and I had d dream that defied the odds.

We'd make our mark as great generals.

I'd risk my life for our dream.

Hyou took a risk to

seize something out of a slave's reach.

And he lost. That's all.

Shin.

With those tears your mourning ends.

You walk your own path.

You're at a crossroads now.

Go back to being a slave

or help a flailing king

on an arduous journey.

Shin.

We share the some spirit.

If you soar...I'll soar with you.

Together

we'll rule the world.

Hyou.

Let's go.

Don't get me wrong. I'm just using you tor my own gain.

And you're not my subject.

You're a sword which I'll toss if if breaks.

Very well.

Now what? Got u plan?

Shoubunkun is my only hope.

We'll rendezvous at the border.

That mun...

We should get going.

Don't forget that you owe me!

Shukyou was killed!

But Eisei won't elude

General Saji and his army.

And there's Muta, The assassin from Bessa clan.

His head will be yours.

It's your fault we lost our best assassin!

I apologize.

You keep promising to deliver Eisei's head.

I might as well have you beheaded!

Please calm down.

Damn if!

Shoubunkun used a double to help my brother escape.

So bring me Shoubunkun's head foo!

I bring good news!

General Ouki...

You're here, General!

He's the last of the 6 greatest generals of Qin.

Didn't he lose interest in fighting and retire?

We haven't mef for a long time, General.

What do you want from us?

Give me some credit, will you?

I'm here to satisfy one of your desires.

- Tou! - Yes, sir.

This is Lord Shoubunkun's head.

Amazing...

General Ouki did if!

General Ouki the great!

The face is unrecognizable in this condition.

What's that? You dare to doubt me, Shishi?

I do not question you but

it's my job to determine the facts.

Anyone who dares to fight me ends up

with a pulverized face.

I can prove ii with one of your men if you like.

What is if ihclf you want?

I want Cl world that enfhrcllls me.

What"?

He's a clown. He's fooling with us.

I'd like Shoubunkun's domain in exchange for his head.

You're out of line!

He can have if.

Your Highness!

I'm humbly grateful, Your Highness.

Are you sure?

General Ouki is not to be trusted.

Maybe so but it's good to have him on our side.

How for will we go, King?

We're almost in the Mountain tribe's domain.

I heard they are cannibqls.

They massacred my ancestors around here.

You're from the mountains! That explains the outfit.

400 years ago the Mountain tribe and Qin were allies.

Those barbarians?

Because they trusted King Bokukou.

It's hot!

Take that off then.

This is my combat gear.

It's your armor?

You think I'm lame? Look of yourself.

The Mountain tribe?

No, assassins. They're poison darts.

Eisei!

Your life is mine!

That shorty would be nothing without darts!

Fight like a man!

You're fast!

Eisei!

Shin!

This guy's abnormal...!

We have no chance if you can't handle him, Shin.

I know!

You're going to die!

Sfqy!

He had me scared...!

No more!

Eisei!

Stop there!

He won!

Shin!

Shin.

You came to.

Where are we?

An ancient summer resort.

Ancient"?

It was built 400 years ago for the Qin and Mountain tribe.

H's well maintained.

Hey...

How did I get here?

Kings don't often piggyback slaves.

What? You carried me?

Stay still. Ten extracted the poison but you're wounded.

Poison...?

Thanks, Ten.

You're asleep!

Can't you say something?

When you're silent you remind me of Hyou.

Hyou often talked about you.

That's when he was his happiest.

I could fell that

you two had a bond stronger than siblings.

Not like you and your back-stabbing brother.

- Sibling rivalry... - You're awake!

Whclfs your brother like?

He and I have different mothers.

My mother was a dancer.

Seikyou's mother had royal lineage.

He disapproved of me because I have commoner blood.

So what"?

It's you who ascended to the throne.

I was a Puppet

My father was King for 3 years when he died so I was King at 13.

I was regarded as a child so

I had no authority.

Who did then?

Ryofui who'd once been a successful merchant.

He was away fighting Wei state when Seikyou revolted.

My brother is backed by Chancellor Ketsushi.

So Ryofui is on your side?

Shoubunkun is the only one I trust.

And I'm supposed to rendezvous with him here.

Look, Shin.

It's the enemy!

I'll fake them Cl" on.

This is bad!

The blow dart...

I stole if.

Get back!

You're late.

We fought off men who failed us.

Your retainers...

Hey,you.

Hyou is dead.

My escape plan was full of flaws.

I apologize for my incompetence.

Give the order and I'll kill myself now.

But now...

more than anything

I'm thankful that you're alive.

You foo.

Eisei is as good as dead without Shoubunkun.

The time to strike is now, Your Highness.

Our only remaining concern is Ryofui.

I suppose you're prepared for that prospect?

Yes.

I suggest you see it for yourself, Your Highness.

This army of 80,000 men will defeat Ryofui.

This is more like it.

Ton! Step forward.

Rise.

Men!

Look at him.

He was born info a peasant family.

His parents had to sell him for luck of money.

He's good with swords and o pen.

So he climbed his way up to be here.

He has a grand house and supports the parents who sold him.

Right, Ton?

Yes!

It's all due to His Highness's generosity...

Rqnkai

I can't stand...

men like him!

A peasant in fine clothes is still a peasant!

My brother is the son of a lowly dancer.

Only one of us has noble lineage...

That's me.

And you men are the sons of noble soldiers.

This is delicious! I feel so alive!

You cooked this? Who are you anyway?

I'm Karyouten from the mountains. Call me Ten.

Can I have more?

Me too!

Now it's time to discuss the past events.

What happened in Kanyou while I was in hiding?

Your Majesty.

On the night of your brother's coup

we left Kanyou Palace through the secret passageway.

We took your double, Hyou with us.

Hyou...

He was with you?

Our escape seemed to go without a hitch...

But we were intercepted.

By soldiers?

Yes.

They were led by General Ouki.

He retired years ago but

he suddenly appeared with an army.

I thought we were doomed.

Just when it seemed hopeless

Hyou came forward to the front of our men.

Hyou...?

He led our men who were in despair

and boosted their morale as a king would.

Don't give up!

Defensive formation!

Penefrclfe the enemy front!

It was unbelievable.

I thought he was just a peasant.

At that moment Hyou was a general.

With a few words he raised the spirits of all the men.

To lure the enemy away from us

Hyou broke off and rode into the darkness.

Alone?

He wanted to save us.

Because His Majesty needed us.

He rode off, diverting Ouki's army and wasn't seen again.

Hyou, I knew you were incredible...!

Sen, now Shoubunkun is with us

let's get your palace back.

- Behave! - You're in the King's presence!

Leave him.

I forgive his manners.

If won't be that easy, Shin.

Someone, bring me the map!

We can't enter Kanyou because Seikyou controls it.

But we can rely on Ryofui.

When he returns...

No.

He won": come.

Why not?

Ryofui wants His Majesty dead

and Seikyou to become king.

Then he'll accuse Seikyou of treason

and overthrow him.

- No...! - Yes.

Ryofui wcmfs to be king.

Wait Cl minute!

I thought Ryofui was on our side.

For 500 years men have fought To be king.

We'll watch out for Chancellors Ryofui and Keisushi

and seize an opportunity to strike back.

But they'll divide the state!

I must go back to Kanyou to protect my people.

Right now

no armies are on our side.

Forget it then! You can live here.

Be quiet.

You.

What?

Not you. That one.

Yes?

Did you say you lived in the mountains?

Isn't his costume hilarious?

Thcli's ii!

There is cm army!

An army that can outpower Ryofui and Ketsushfs armies!

Yes, they've been on my mind since we arrived.

We may not be welcome

but we must meet

the Mountain Chieftain.

Watch your step.

I think it's foo risky.

If was 400 years ago.

That's when Qin cut off diplomatic ties.

I heard there were massacres.

They must hate you!

We have no choice, Heki.

They'll attack us!

If they did, I'll kill every one of them!

The real Mountain tribe!

- Guard the King! - Yes!

Stay put.

You want a piece of me?

Don't!

What did he say?

"We gouge irespassers' eyes out and push them off cliffs."

Talk To him!

What did you say?

That the King of Qin wants to meet the Mountain Chieftain.

Don't!

Stay put!

They held off killing us!

Let gQ!

They'll let the Chieftain decide our fate.

Sneaky bastards!

It's our chance to infiltrate them.

Even if negotiations fail

we can probably overcome these barbarians.

Yeah! Count me in on ihaf!

Hey, don't move around!

- Shin...! - Look!

What is if?

What the hell...!

I am Eisei, the 31st king of Qin.

I'm the Mountain Chieftain.

The name is Youtanwa. What do you want?

Your assistance.

Surely not, King of Qin.

We have old scores to sefile.

My ancestors and King Bokukou of Qin were allies 400 years ago.

They hoped To live in harmony with your people

and forge a brave new world together.

But when King Bokukou passed away

the people of Qin betrayed us, and we suffered.

Thousands of our people were killed.

The Qin people forced us back into the mountains.

The most fitting revenge is to behead you.

I know our history. The fault is with us.

As King of Qin, I apologize for my ancestors' crimes.

Ethnic groups with their different beliefs and culture

can only coexist after blood has been shed.

Years of discrimination and resentment cant be erased.

A look at history shows how hard it is to overcome.

Beheclding me wont resolve our problems.

The young king doesn't seem to understand pain.

The pain of losing loved ones.

Beheclding your men will teach you.

Hey, lei go!

Shin!

Sei, I'll fake them on, okay?

- Wait. - Until I lose my head?

This is unnecessary.

I know foo well about pain.

If hatred and grudges motivate you to take up a sword

your kingdom will perish.

A true king only fights to better lives.

When two groups are divided there will be war.

We're all the some.

Our people have been killing each other for 500 years.

Your point is...?

H's simple.

We stop the wars by getiing rid of our borders.

No borders?

Your Majesty, it the 7 states had no borders, the wars would go on.

You... For real...

Wait up! What are you saying?

I have a goal.

You want your throne back, right?

So you need their help.

That is just the first step of my journey.

Your journey?

Youfcmwa.

Join me on a journey...

A journey that no one's dared to go on.

At the end, there'll be light

He's lying!

You can”: fool us.

Kill them!

Oh no...!

Shin!

You'll be damned!

You intrigue me, boy.

What's your next move?

I have no next move.

Hey, you in the boss mask!

I don't understand one word of your story but

this guy needs your help, so help him!

How unintelligent...

I give UP-

Do him a favor and you might get it back tenfold.

In treasure and great food!

Shut up, monkey!

Our ancestors' grievances are ours.

We won't forget their hardship.

SHUT Up!

Your ancestors' biggest regret was an unrealized dream.

If you care about your dead ancestors

make their dream come true!

Thai wasn't bad.

Youtanwa

I'm powerless righi now but

my objective is not impossible.

Let's reunite as we did 400 years ago.

I need your help.

You know that's what your people want.

That's why you kept the resort in good condition.

King of Qin, fell me one thing.

We're rough.

If we joined you, would you mind if we got blood on your throne?

There already is.

I don't mind of all.

A woman...!

I, Youtanwal, welcome the King of Qin as our closest ally.

Assemble soldiers from the mountains.

Prepare for war!

It worked, Sei!

Now what?

I have a plan.

At the center of the palace

there's cm army of 80,000.

There's...

30 of us.

I can mobilize 3,000 soldiers now.

It's 3,030 against

80,000!

And so...

Which is more?

What's ihcli?

Oh, no...

There are horses at Anjou gate

with approximately 3,000 soldiers!

What?

First

we'll dress like them.

The Mountain tribe are mounted on horses!

The Mountain tribe?

Do I have to?

This is too weird!

And you're not?

This will do.

Yeah, this is my combat gear, idiots.

A messenger brought word.

The tribe wishes to be our allies.

Allies with the Mountain tribe?

As guests

we'll be invited info the palace.

We won't even have to fight

Very smurf.

In disguise we might get in but what about

the 80,000 soldiers guarding the palace?

The plan is...

Will they really lei us in?

They will.

Their army of 80,000 might take on Ryofui's 200,000.

With that kind of disadvantage, they'll need help.

We have hundreds of thousands more soldiers in the mountains.

It's an offer foo good to refuse.

Just what we need to fight Ryofui.

But why do they suddenly want to

join forces after 400 years?

The gate!

I am Youtanwal, the Mountain Chieftain.

Chieftain Youtanwal, please enter.

The state of Qin welcomes you.

If worked!

Great!

Not all of you can enter.

Just the Chieftain and 50 subjects

50...!

Very well.

50 against 80,000 soldiers!

Before they reclch fhe throne hall

we'll kill Seikyou.

That's 10 of us and 40 Mountain tribesmen.

Yes, sir.

Wait here, Ten.

No, I'm coming.

Stay here!

I have to help the King

and get a reward!

Whatever.

So we'll exploit those monkeys?

Yes.

With the Mountain tribe as allies

we'll have access to tens of thousands more soldiers.

We'll do anything to defeat Ryofui.

We can watch the monkeys fight Ryofui

for our amusement.

Your Highness. Youtanwa and 50 soldiers entered Shuki gate.

Halt!

From here it is the King's domain.

Please leave your weapons here.

My tribe was once Qin's ally

but your people betrayed us.

We trusted you but we were deceived.

Until we make a formal pact we'll stay armed.

It that's unacceptable I demand that you disarm too.

Very well.

Remain armed until the alliance is restored.

Are you sure?

Get Gikou to stand by.

Even if they attack us

what can 50 of them do?

Youfcmwa.

I am truly grateful to you.

I can't wait for a battle.

Escape is possible through a secret passageway.

We used if when we left the palace.

It connects

the 'throne hall and Shuki gate.

Our war starts at the gate.

Not yet.

Only one man can sfari this baffle.

King Eisei of Qin.

Close the gate now!

What's ihcli?

What if is?

Break up as planned.

10 of you go through the passageway to the throne room.

The rest of us will be your decoys.

Shin, let's go.

- The king's a decoy! - The best there is.

Our fate depends on you, Shin!

I know, old pal!

Sei.

See you later.

Sure.

Come on, Ten.

Tcljifu and Bajiou!

Eisei!

Did you enjoy your moment of glory?

Shoubunkun!

Ouki didn't behead him. It was a trick.

Behecld Eisei!

Shoot!

Gikou, destroy them!

Oh no!

They expected us.

I knew you'd come this way.

The plot of peasants!

General Saji!

General?

He was Cl general.

No Eisei, huh?

Stop!

Kill them all.

Stop him!

Oh no...!

- Let's retreat. - No.

We'll stay.

Youfanwa!

But they'll wipe us out!

Arrows don't scare us!

We'll stay foo.

What"?

Stupid monkeys...

Release all arrows when I say!

Shoot!

They're not dead!

They're useless!

Gei the ones in the front!

Bring in more soldiers.

Chancellor, to the keep.

If I retreat before Eisei is beheaded

His Highness, Seikyou won't like if.

I got him...!

Across the court is the throne hall!

Advance!

He delivered his own hedd to me!

Idiot!

It's over.

Qin is my state now.

What's ihcli?

That's Rcmkai the executioner!

Shin, hurry up!

Get away from him!

Bajiou!

Having Eisei furn up

serves our purpose just fine.

If Eisei dies in full view

His Highness will be king.

His armies will have Cl million men!

And we'll defeat that cocky Ryofui.

Finally we'll have the power we once had.

You're history, villains!

So you're Seikyou?

Execute them.

For being in the some space as royalty.

For breathing the some air as me.

Yeah, that's bullshit.

I know one Thing.

Sei is the real king!

Not you.

Saji, squash these bugs.

Oh, him!

You said he was a general, Heki?

Saji was known for being an exceptional general.

That's what you want to be!

How come he's not leading armies?

He was fired because of his cruel methods.

Now he's a mercenary for hire.

Oh, so he's cm asshole!

Hey, asshole!

You don't deserve to be Cl general!

Yeah? What's a kid know about warfare?

I'll show you.

There's no point resisting.

Oh no...

King!

Accept your fate!

Shin!

I won't be defeated by this asshole...

Keep your spirits up!

Victory is ours!

The assault group will succeed.

We'll keep going for them!

Swords may break,

but we'll go on even if we lose arms and blood.

Hang in there and victory is ours!

Your MajesfY!

Heki, you idiot!

Heki!

Heki!

You don't have what if fakes to be a general.

Shin!

Keep dreaming, kid.

Dreams are bullshit.

I've seen many men like you.

Dreams aren't tor the battlefront.

A man who goes on about dreams

will die first.

That's wrong...

That's wrong.

Hyou.

Shin, get up!

You'll be the greatest general on Earth!

Shin!

Once a slave, always Cl slave.

But the sword will free you.

I'll be the greatest general on Earth!

Hyou.

Your dream's over.

No!

What's wrong with dreams?

If you dream

you get back on your feet.

Because you dream

you go forward.

Because you dream

you're strong.

Because you dream...

Bastard...

Your Highness...?

What are you doing by yourself...?

Kefsushi is dead, Shishi.

No...!

Where are you going?

Deserfers will be executed!

Do something!

No, you don't.

You brat...

I

am Lord Ketsushi

Chancellor of the great siqie of Qin!

Ten!

Ten!

Ten!

Ten!

Told you! This is my combat gear.

Come on. Sei is expecting us.

Did we keep you?

It's about time!

How dare you, Eisei...

Someone, go and kill him!

Our sibling issues are for us to deal with.

Sibling...

You're a commoner's son. We're not brothers!

Blood! The blood of Cl king!

So, what's a little blood?

Our feud caused a lot more blood to be shed.

Your behavior is inexcusable, you know!

Seikyou.

Try to understand what pain is.

You lost. There's no point killing you.

We'll all be beheaded for treason unless

we kill Eisei and his people!

That's the only way we'll survive.

You agree with me, don't you?

Ouki!

General Ouki...

General!

We shall beheqd Eisei together!

The greatest general on Earth...

Stop, Ouki. What do you want?

I don't have time to play with you, Shoubunkun.

I've come a long WCIY to

have words with the young king.

General.

I have a question for you.

Why does a great man like you get involved in our family feud?

Because it's foolish.

Your Majesty, if I may.

You're just fighting a war in your state

not Cl wur out in the world!

Now Your Majesty

I have a question for you.

It's about your dream.

Now the throne's yours again, what do you want?

What kind of king do you aspire to be?

Think well before you answer.

You may be king but

my lance won't tolerate an unworthy answer.

My objective is to go out info the world.

So I made an alliance with

the Chieftain who shares my dream.

Which is...?

I aim to rule

a unified China.

A unified China...?

Do you think the other states will agree with your idea?

If they don't, I'll have to use force.

People will cull you a lyrcml!

Lei them.

And be a ruler who'd disrupt his people's lives?

No.

500 years of wars may lead to 500 more years of war.

My sword will stop that so no one dies.

I will be

the first emperor To unify our world.

Tou.

Yes, Lord.

You lost. I suggest Gikou and his men surrender.

Nonsense!

Kill Ouki and Eisei!

He's amazing...!

Who would...?

Who would...?

Who would follow you and your delusion?

I'd follow him!

Shoubunkun.

I'm beginning to understand what you'd fight for.

Tell my men

to pull out.

My name is

Shin.

Remember if.

Because one day

I'll be the greatest general on Earth.

I guess this is the start of an exciting new age.

Shin, my boy!

I'll see you in a real wclr.

Let's not shed more blood. Surrender and you'll live.

You heard him! Disarm and surrender!

We won this war!

Shin!

Shin.

We're headed for the some place!

Just wait, Hyou!

No civilians died despite the scale of the uprising.

Ouki stationed his army nearby to protect civilians.

Also

he tricked Seikyou by pretending he had my head

so he could fake control of my estate.

He kept my family and retainers safe in the upheaval.

Ouki...

Everyone is c: pawn

on his chessboard.

Hey, King. You remember our promise?

Yes. Thank you for accompanying me.

All this is yours again.

My journey has only begun.

Sei. I'll fight in Cl war.

Shin...

With each battle I win, I'll rise.

To be a general?

Yes. I'll be the greatest general on Earth so

you'll become the Emperor of China.

Don't be cocky.

Let's do if, Sei.

No one has unified our world but we will!
