00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,230
In Motonari's times,
2
00:00:16,530 --> 00:00:20,190
the head Mori family lost
three heads in succession.
3
00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:27,600
During battles with other constables, Motonari's father,
Hiromoto, died of alcoholism, at age 39.
4
00:00:28,140 --> 00:00:32,570
His oldest son, Okimoto, suffered from
mental illness because of his battle in Kyoto.
5
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:35,510
He died at age 24, of alcoholism like his father.
6
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,300
Komatsumaru, who became the clan's
head at age 2, was born frail.
7
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:42,670
He died at a young age of 9.
8
00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:45,610
AMAGO TSUNEHISA
- We shouldn't...
9
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:47,760
...let Motonari become
the clan's head, at any cost.
10
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:50,550
His maneuvering over Kurata Naonobu...
11
00:00:51,130 --> 00:00:53,800
You must have acknowledged Motonari, sire.
12
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:56,330
Motonari...
13
00:00:58,270 --> 00:01:00,250
I don't want Motonari.
14
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:03,290
But I won't hold back just
because he's my older brother.
15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,410
Please wait.
16
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:07,770
Pressures from the Amago.
17
00:01:07,770 --> 00:01:09,930
Feuds between half-brothers.
18
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:14,290
The Mori clan was vacillating wildly on heirdom.
19

KORIYAMA CASTLE July 16, 1523 (Taiei 3)
- Because of the Battle of Kagamiyama Castle,
46
00:04:01,490 --> 00:04:04,690
the Mori's heir, Komatsumaru,
died at a young age of 9.
47
00:04:04,690 --> 00:04:08,740
People were still lamenting the next morning.
48
00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:49,540
Grandpa...
49
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,480
Grandpa!
50
00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:59,260
FUKUBARA HIROTOSHI
- I'll become a priest.
51
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,710
Okimoto died.
And now, Komatsumaru died.
52
00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:10,890
They are my lords, but...
53
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,770
...they are my grandsons.
54
00:05:14,410 --> 00:05:16,780
He is my great grandson.
55
00:05:20,470 --> 00:05:23,420
I adore them so much.
56
00:05:29,470 --> 00:05:31,110
Grandpa.
57
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,730
I'm your grandson, too.
58
00:05:37,930 --> 00:05:40,400
A long time ago...
59
00:05:41,890 --> 00:05:45,990
I had a mother.
60
00:05:49,380 --> 00:05:56,940
She died when I was five,
so I don't remember anything about her.
61
00:05:57,250 --> 00:05:59,700
A long time ago...
62
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,560
I had a father, too.
63
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:14,700
He died when I was ten,
so I vaguely remember him.
64
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:19,670
I had a sister and a brother.
65
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,490
They...
66
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:27,260
They all died leaving me behind.
67
00:06:28,210 --> 00:06:29,240
Grandpa.
68
00:06:30,410 --> 00:06:32,330
Do you want me...
69
00:06:33,550 --> 00:06:40,270
...to say, "A long time ago, I had a grandfather"
70
00:06:40,270 --> 00:06:42,230
Excuse me.
71
00:06:43,460 --> 00:06:45,420
What do you want?
72
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,490
SHIJI HIROYOSHI
73
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:57,680
Motonari-dono.
74
00:06:58,330 --> 00:07:02,320
The Ouchi are preparing for a battle.
75
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,780
Since they lost at Kagamiyama,
76
00:07:04,780 --> 00:07:11,250
a rumor says that Yoshioki-dono will
personally lead this campaign.
77
00:07:11,470 --> 00:07:12,590
I see.
78
00:07:12,590 --> 00:07:14,110
Motonari-dono.
79
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,200
You should pledge to the late lord...
80
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,160
...that you will succeed
the Mori clan immediately...
81
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,790
...and prepare for the upcoming
battle as the Mori clan head.
82
00:07:28,330 --> 00:07:32,540
What we, vassals, must do now is...
83
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:40,760
...to bring our hearts together and act in
a perfect coordination under a new clan's head.
84
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:48,470
Motonari-dono, you are the only
direct descendant of the Mori.
85
00:07:51,130 --> 00:07:52,830
Fukubara-dono.
86
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:01,810
You have no objection, don't you?
87
00:08:02,420 --> 00:08:04,280
In this difficult time,
88
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:10,740
you will support Motonari-dono
with me, won't you?
89
00:08:16,650 --> 00:08:19,580
Motonari-dono.
90
00:08:24,870 --> 00:08:28,510
I acted rashly...
91
00:08:32,710 --> 00:08:34,230
I know.
92
00:08:34,770 --> 00:08:37,690
It's about heirdom, isn't it?
93
00:08:42,110 --> 00:08:44,790
LADY YUKI
- Motonari-dono.
94
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,680
To avenge the late young lord's grievance,
95
00:08:48,950 --> 00:08:53,970
you should become
the Mori clan head immediately.
96
00:09:03,250 --> 00:09:06,160
Motonari-dono?
97
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,630
During the battle at Kagamiyama Castle,
98
00:09:16,770 --> 00:09:21,380
I couldn't protect the late young lord.
99
00:09:21,690 --> 00:09:25,920
I'm the one who made him die.
100
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:33,550
I don't have nerve to become the clan's head.
101
00:09:36,860 --> 00:09:40,700
That's not fair, is it?
102
00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:46,480
You're the only one we have.
103
00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:53,640
You will do it, won't you?
104
00:09:55,650 --> 00:09:59,360
AIO'S RESIDENCE
- Uyama-sama is here.
105
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,690
Meanwhile, Katsura Hirozumi and the others,
who are against Motonari's succession...
106
00:10:04,930 --> 00:10:09,660
...had a messenger from the Amago,
with an unexpected deal.
107
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:13,390
UYAMA HISAKANE
- Why don't you adopt an heir from the Amago?
108
00:10:14,670 --> 00:10:18,210
I'm talking about Toyohisa-dono,
Kunihisa's second son.
109
00:10:18,210 --> 00:10:21,520
He is Tsunehisa-dono's grandson.
110
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,220
We know it's more proper for
Motonari to succeed the clan.
111
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,670
But, if he becomes the head,
112
00:10:30,890 --> 00:10:36,100
Mototsuna-dono, who tries to
rebuild the Mori with the Amago,
113
00:10:36,330 --> 00:10:38,620
and all the others will
end up working for nothing.
114
00:10:38,620 --> 00:10:44,130
AIO MOTOTSUNA LADY AIO
- Tsunehisa-dono regards Mototsuna-dono the highest.
115
00:10:44,370 --> 00:10:46,370
I am grateful for that.
116
00:10:47,420 --> 00:10:49,180
What do you think?
117
00:10:49,510 --> 00:10:53,450
Why don't you adopt him, just for form...
118
00:10:53,450 --> 00:10:58,420
...to let Mototsuna-dono control
the Mori as the real head...
119
00:10:58,420 --> 00:11:01,980
...along with Katsura-dono, Watanabe-dono?
120
00:11:03,190 --> 00:11:05,980
What about Motonari-dono?
121
00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:10,720
We'll continue to confine him at Sarukake Castle.
122
00:11:21,690 --> 00:11:25,570
KATSURA HIROZUMI
- Watanabe-dono?
123
00:11:26,420 --> 00:11:28,990
What's the matter?
124
00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:42,190
WATANABE SUGURU
- To me, Watanabe Suguru,
125
00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:45,290
fighting is all about my life.
126
00:11:46,340 --> 00:11:53,240
I've never taken this habergeon off,
even during peacetime.
127
00:11:53,610 --> 00:11:56,360
I was born in a war-torn era, so...
128
00:11:56,570 --> 00:12:04,340
...I've worked hard to become an outstanding
fighter with an excellent heart.
129
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:08,440
However...
130
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,600
I'm just a man, who is like that arrow.
131
00:12:30,810 --> 00:12:35,950
If I am released into darkness, I'm not useful at all.
132
00:12:36,170 --> 00:12:41,270
Future of the clan, feuds over heirdom, or rulership...
133
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:44,140
Politics is like darkness.
134
00:12:44,140 --> 00:12:47,400
I'm not fit for it.
135
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,650
Darkness ends eventually.
136
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,640
We're working together to
bring an end to this darkness.
137
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:06,780
I already know what you're talking about.
138
00:13:07,540 --> 00:13:13,320
But, an arrow that knows
nothing but flying straight...
139
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,930
...likes only battle tactics, not politics.
140
00:13:22,650 --> 00:13:25,120
Please understand.
141
00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:32,970
It isn't my wish that
Tsunehisa-dono uses me for his politics.
142
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:38,160
Katsura-dono, I will vote for the adoption.
143
00:13:39,660 --> 00:13:41,940
Your farewell gift, huh?
144
00:13:42,630 --> 00:13:49,200
I'm breaking off from you,
but I will remain a Mori vassal.
145
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,980
Excuse me.
146
00:14:04,410 --> 00:14:10,370
The adoption offer from the Amago
was discussed by everyone immediately.
147
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:15,260
It was only three days after Komatsumaru died.
148
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:20,660
I understand what this adoption means.
149
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:26,370
We have you, Motonari-dono.
Why do we have to adopt an heir from another clan?
150
00:14:26,370 --> 00:14:29,900
Exactly, they're meddling in too much.
151
00:14:30,890 --> 00:14:34,120
Once we adopt an heir,
the Amago will juggle us around.
152
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,460
Right.
153
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,960
Motonari-dono, just spurn and tell them,
"We don't need to adopt an heir."
154
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,860
It's not that easy.
155
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:49,970
Mototsuna, Katsura, Watanabe.
156
00:14:49,970 --> 00:14:51,860
You guys agree with the adoption, right?
157
00:14:52,910 --> 00:14:55,590
It doesn't mean we don't
want you, Motonari-dono.
158
00:14:55,590 --> 00:14:57,580
However,
159
00:14:57,580 --> 00:15:01,590
challenging the Amago is
the most dreadful thing now.
160
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,810
All the neighboring constables
are on the Amago's side.
161
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,290
We don't want to make an enemy of them.
162
00:15:07,290 --> 00:15:09,150
That's right.
163
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,540
That's why I can't undertake the heirdom easily.
164
00:15:14,540 --> 00:15:19,660
But, Yuki-dono, Grandpa Fukubara, Shiji.
165
00:15:19,660 --> 00:15:23,630
You are telling me to succeed the clan.
We're split in the middle.
166
00:15:23,630 --> 00:15:25,320
What about you, Inoue?
167
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,200
INOUE MOTOKANE
168
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,460
I don't know yet...
169
00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:34,380
In a time like this, we must be united.
170
00:15:34,870 --> 00:15:39,820
I succeed the clan or we adopt the heir...
171
00:15:40,450 --> 00:15:43,300
...our hearts will remain divided.
172
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:46,620
That's what I'm afraid of.
173
00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:51,220
But they want us to reply in ten days.
174
00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:53,400
We don't have much time.
175
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,650
Well.
176
00:15:55,810 --> 00:15:59,750
Let's have a conference seven days from now.
We'll make a decision then.
177
00:15:59,750 --> 00:16:03,510
What do you think, Shiji?
178
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:07,690
Shiji.
179
00:16:07,690 --> 00:16:11,180
Nobody saw Shiji after this.
180
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,860
SARUKAKE CASTLE
181
00:16:17,730 --> 00:16:21,140
I don't know what to do...
182
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,850
No matter how much I think,
I don't get the answer.
183
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,250
- I'm just buying time.
- How irritating!
184
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,270
LADY MII
- How long are you going to complain about the same thing?
185
00:16:36,270 --> 00:16:38,960
I'll make a decision for you.
186
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,670
You become the clan's head, sire.
187
00:16:42,940 --> 00:16:46,330
You pass the heirdom down to Chiyojumaru.
That makes more sense.
188
00:16:46,330 --> 00:16:47,580
Period.
189
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Period? But...
190
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,330
If we challenge Amago Tsunehisa-dono,
we'll face a dreadful consequence.
191
00:16:57,330 --> 00:17:00,790
Uncle Amago is old.
He'll die soon.
192
00:17:00,790 --> 00:17:03,120
My goodness...!
193
00:17:03,450 --> 00:17:04,290
Besides...
194
00:17:06,510 --> 00:17:08,530
The vassals will be divided.
It's obvious.
195
00:17:08,530 --> 00:17:12,830
They'll be divided either way.
That's why you should become the clan's head.
196
00:17:12,830 --> 00:17:15,370
It is a no-brainer.
197
00:17:15,370 --> 00:17:17,620
You're a short-tempered and strong woman.
198
00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:18,830
Oh, yes.
199
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:25,180
A woman with a weak-kneed husband has to
become short-tempered and strong without limit.
200
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,380
I want to put on a hood, too...!
201
00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:37,100
- Alright. We're gonna adopt the heir.
- Sire!?
202
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:37,770
I...
203
00:17:38,950 --> 00:17:42,790
I don't want to become Mototsuna's enemy.
204
00:17:42,790 --> 00:17:48,780
We were born from different mothers,
but he is my only brother.
205
00:17:53,330 --> 00:17:54,050
Also...
206
00:17:55,910 --> 00:18:03,140
...if I succeed the clan, I'll be an enemy
of Mototsuna, who wants to adopt the heir.
207
00:18:03,140 --> 00:18:05,960
I don't want heirdom that much.
208
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,550
Even if I become the head this way,
it won't work out.
209
00:18:10,770 --> 00:18:16,570
Uncle Amago wants to send his grandson,
to control the Mori freely.
210
00:18:16,780 --> 00:18:19,210
Rather than letting you become the clan's head,
211
00:18:19,430 --> 00:18:23,530
he thinks it's better for him to have
Mototsuna-dono as his grandson's guardian.
212
00:18:23,530 --> 00:18:24,700
Sire.
213
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:26,590
I understand your brotherly love, but...
214
00:18:26,590 --> 00:18:30,110
...once we adopt the heir, we'll be doomed.
215
00:18:30,330 --> 00:18:31,270
But...
216
00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:33,670
How irritating!!
217
00:18:33,910 --> 00:18:37,710
If Shiji-dono was with us, he'd do something...
218
00:18:37,710 --> 00:18:41,590
Why did he collapse at this critical time!?
219
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:45,380
Oh... how is he doing?
220
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:49,250
He's not doing well.
221
00:18:50,530 --> 00:18:52,850
Really...?
222
00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:55,680
Now, sire.
223
00:18:56,110 --> 00:18:59,510
I'll casually send Fujino to Koriyama Castle...
224
00:18:59,510 --> 00:19:03,380
...and have her spy on what
Katsura-dono and Watanabe-dono are doing.
225
00:19:03,380 --> 00:19:08,170
We don't want them to
move on the adoption secretly.
226
00:19:15,910 --> 00:19:17,730
She's strong...
227
00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:22,500
KORIYAMA CASTLE
(5 Days Before the Conference)
228
00:19:22,730 --> 00:19:24,830
Nothing new.
229
00:19:27,170 --> 00:19:31,420
Katsura-dono and Mototsuna-dono
aren't here today.
230
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:36,610
"Watanabe was saying it's better
for the Mori to adopt the heir."
231
00:19:36,610 --> 00:19:39,990
Just tell it so to Motonari-dono.
232
00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:42,730
You don't want to go back empty-handed.
233
00:19:42,730 --> 00:19:46,800
FUJINO
- I just came to condole over Komatsumaru-dono.
234
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,900
If I want to know something,
I'll find it out on my own.
235
00:19:52,370 --> 00:19:55,530
Please don't mind me.
236
00:19:56,340 --> 00:20:00,520
- Don't treat me like fool just because I'm women.
- Pardon me.
237
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,470
I'm sorry.
238
00:20:02,750 --> 00:20:04,620
Well, Fujino-dono.
239
00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:08,140
Womanhood is your weapon.
240
00:20:08,410 --> 00:20:12,110
I don't like such a way.
241
00:20:14,180 --> 00:20:18,260
Amago Tsunehisa uses everything as his weapon.
242
00:20:18,260 --> 00:20:22,190
He makes full use of it.
He is amazing at that.
243
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:28,120
My womanhood?
How can I use it as weapon...?
244
00:20:31,850 --> 00:20:33,610
Who is it?
245
00:20:40,330 --> 00:20:43,190
This feud over heirdom...
246
00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:47,130
Motonari will lose in every way.
247
00:20:47,620 --> 00:20:52,150
- They're gonna adopt the heir.
- What are you going to do?
248
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:55,370
You can't curry favor with Katsura now.
249
00:20:55,370 --> 00:20:57,250
I'm going to.
250
00:20:57,620 --> 00:21:00,860
It's not embarrassing to side with the strong ones.
251
00:21:01,370 --> 00:21:04,220
You've been saying,
"My masters are the Ouchi and Motonari."
252
00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:06,160
How can you say,
"My masters are the Amago and Mototsuna."
253
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,630
It's a piece of cake.
254
00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:13,670
I can just add the set epiphet,
"For the sake of the Mori."
255
00:21:13,670 --> 00:21:16,840
A capable man knows how to
speak with a double or triple tongue,
256
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:20,110
without letting others find out his true intentions.
257
00:21:21,420 --> 00:21:22,660
Therefore...
258
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,710
...if Motonari is winning at the last moment,
259
00:21:30,940 --> 00:21:34,630
I'll switch sides to Motonari.
260
00:21:36,850 --> 00:21:39,960
3 Days Before the Conference
261
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,260
The decisive day was approaching.
262
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:47,690
Motonari hadn't made up his mind.
263
00:21:47,690 --> 00:21:49,950
This is Mototsuna.
264
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,160
You may come in.
265
00:22:01,790 --> 00:22:06,450
Did you want to see me, Motonari?
266
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,260
Mototsuna.
267
00:22:14,570 --> 00:22:17,560
I want to ask you one thing.
268
00:22:18,110 --> 00:22:18,860
If...
269
00:22:20,420 --> 00:22:24,190
...we decide to adopt the Amago boy...
270
00:22:24,190 --> 00:22:30,710
...the Amago will nominate you as the boy's guardian.
271
00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:32,150
Then...
272
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,800
...I cannot do anything, no matter what happens.
273
00:22:38,410 --> 00:22:41,200
With this being the situation...
274
00:22:41,450 --> 00:22:47,880
...can you protect the Mori and hold the fort?
275
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:51,600
Are you confident that you won't
let the Amago manipulate you?
276
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,380
Yes, I am.
277
00:22:55,860 --> 00:22:59,780
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
278
00:22:59,780 --> 00:23:01,570
I, Mototsuna, believe...
279
00:23:01,570 --> 00:23:06,930
...that this adoption is only for form and is
the only way for the Mori to survive.
280
00:23:06,930 --> 00:23:10,330
You said you cannot do anything, but...
281
00:23:10,330 --> 00:23:17,830
...I'm going to consult everything with you.
I won't let the Amago control us.
282
00:23:44,420 --> 00:23:46,780
Mototsuna.
283
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,830
Yes.
284
00:23:51,390 --> 00:23:54,670
We're going to adopt the heir.
285
00:23:54,670 --> 00:23:56,470
Motonari?
286
00:23:59,820 --> 00:24:00,320
I...
287
00:24:02,850 --> 00:24:09,300
I don't have what it takes
to be a clan's head, after all.
288
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:10,490
But...
289
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:19,230
...I would feel sorry for my ancestors,
if I let the Amago control us.
290
00:24:19,230 --> 00:24:22,840
We save the Amago's face
by adopting the heir...
291
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:29,640
...but, in fact, we, two brothers, control the Mori.
That's the best.
292
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,920
Motonari.
293
00:24:32,420 --> 00:24:36,540
I'm ashamed of myself.
294
00:24:38,140 --> 00:24:43,470
Somewhere inside, I've been
always competing with you.
295
00:24:44,410 --> 00:24:51,730
I felt inferior, because you were born from
the lord's wife and I was born from a concubine.
296
00:24:51,730 --> 00:24:55,970
That's why I didn't want to lose to you.
297
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,260
Mototsuna.
298
00:25:01,980 --> 00:25:07,250
You are not fixated to the heirdom,
because you think about the clan first.
299
00:25:07,470 --> 00:25:11,840
That makes my heart purified.
300
00:25:12,190 --> 00:25:14,700
Stop it.
301
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:15,290
I...
302
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,260
I...
303
00:25:23,290 --> 00:25:28,780
I'm just happy to have a brother.
304
00:25:28,780 --> 00:25:30,830
I heard...
305
00:25:31,570 --> 00:25:36,430
...Shiji cannot stand up anymore.
306
00:25:36,740 --> 00:25:39,860
Listen, Mototsuna.
307
00:25:41,380 --> 00:25:43,360
Now is the time...
308
00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:49,860
...for us to overcome this hardship together.
309
00:26:04,610 --> 00:26:06,340
Great Lady!
310
00:26:08,170 --> 00:26:09,340
What's the matter?
311
00:26:09,340 --> 00:26:12,500
The lord is saying he decided to adopt the heir!
312
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:13,860
Really?
313
00:26:15,370 --> 00:26:18,280
That's great.
314
00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:22,280
What's so great?
315
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,690
How can you be nonchalant like that?
316
00:26:25,690 --> 00:26:30,100
He must have made the decision, with his eyes open.
317
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:32,290
We should be happy with that.
318
00:26:32,290 --> 00:26:33,400
But...
319
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,960
...if the Amago start juggling us around,
we'll surely experience misfortunes.
320
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:40,420
Good fortunes or misfortunes,
they come when they come.
321
00:26:40,420 --> 00:26:43,760
Assuming the number of misfortunes
is the worst misfortune.
322
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,670
- How true.
- But...
323
00:26:45,950 --> 00:26:51,530
...the lord just tries to join the Amago
without confronting them. How vexing.
324
00:26:51,900 --> 00:26:55,510
You raised him wrong, Great Lady.
325
00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:57,600
What did you say?
326
00:26:57,830 --> 00:27:00,890
Yeah, that's how I raised him.
327
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,150
Your Ladyship.
328
00:27:03,980 --> 00:27:09,730
The most pitiful ones in the world
are hardworking men.
329
00:27:09,730 --> 00:27:12,260
Hardworking men and women?
What can they get?
330
00:27:12,260 --> 00:27:14,510
Your hard work might bring you a bigger fief.
331
00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:23,770
But is your new fief comparable to
a peaceful life with your wife and children?
332
00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:31,470
The lord doesn't want to fight
against his younger brother.
333
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:37,570
Great Lady, you did raise him wrong.
334
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:44,610
In this war-torn era, it's inevitable for you to
draw sword toward your parents and brothers.
335
00:27:44,820 --> 00:27:49,600
The saddest ones in the world
are hardworking women.
336
00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:55,460
Once you yield to the powerful,
337
00:27:55,460 --> 00:27:57,740
you will have to yield to them forever.
338
00:27:57,740 --> 00:28:02,110
I don't want to see the lord
in such a miserable position.
339
00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:07,310
Your Ladyship, why don't you join him?
340
00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:14,600
No man really wants to yield to the powerful.
341
00:28:14,810 --> 00:28:20,320
Men bear gut-wrenching feelings
for their wives and children.
342
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:26,800
Men are strong, because they suffer
for their wives and children.
343
00:28:28,110 --> 00:28:31,490
You should understand that.
344
00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:38,840
The lord is so much in love with you.
345
00:28:39,490 --> 00:28:42,770
Did you know that?
346
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:55,180
Don't cry, or you lose!
347
00:28:55,390 --> 00:28:59,390
A hardworking woman is really sad.
348
00:29:01,370 --> 00:29:03,230
I got it.
349
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:06,580
Great Lady, you woke me up.
350
00:29:06,580 --> 00:29:08,960
I will join the lord.
351
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:24,650
If we die because of this,
Lady Mii and I will become ghosts and scare you!
352
00:29:26,230 --> 00:29:27,370
Oh.
353
00:29:27,370 --> 00:29:30,960
She's too ugly to become a ghost.
354
00:29:31,260 --> 00:29:33,390
By the way, Sugi-sama.
355
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,350
I'm impressed with your speech.
356
00:29:36,850 --> 00:29:41,300
I was fascinated, too, with my own speech.
357
00:29:42,540 --> 00:29:47,480
I'm too good to remain single.
358
00:29:48,730 --> 00:29:49,770
Mother!
359
00:29:50,740 --> 00:29:53,970
- Mother!
- What's the commotion about?
360
00:29:54,220 --> 00:29:57,690
My brother agreed to adopt the heir.
361
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,990
He held my hands, saying,
"I want to work with you."
362
00:30:03,990 --> 00:30:05,260
Really...?
363
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,340
That's good.
364
00:30:11,490 --> 00:30:14,110
My hard work is...
365
00:30:14,110 --> 00:30:16,190
...finally paying off.
366
00:30:16,610 --> 00:30:18,820
While I am alive...
367
00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:25,140
...I can see you becoming successful.
368
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,110
I....
369
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,650
...have no more wishes.
370
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:42,360
Motonari doesn't have a mother,
who cries for him.
371
00:30:44,660 --> 00:30:53,870
You should never forget his kindness.
372
00:30:56,500 --> 00:31:00,820
The Night Before the Conference
- Father.
373
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,130
Okimoto.
374
00:31:03,810 --> 00:31:10,000
Please forgive me for adopting the heir.
375
00:31:12,670 --> 00:31:15,850
I, Motonari, believe...
376
00:31:17,300 --> 00:31:22,170
...this is the best way for us.
377
00:31:33,380 --> 00:31:34,100
Shiji!
378
00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:40,180
Are you all right?
379
00:31:40,650 --> 00:31:43,920
I played sick.
380
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,400
What do you mean?
381
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:57,590
I heard you were bedridden and
couldn't see anyone. Did you lie?
382
00:31:58,470 --> 00:32:01,510
That was a big lie.
383
00:32:03,730 --> 00:32:08,980
How is the heirdom matter going?
384
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,480
We're going to adopt the heir.
385
00:32:15,730 --> 00:32:18,990
We'll make the decision
at the conference tomorrow.
386
00:32:18,990 --> 00:32:20,790
Splendid...
387
00:32:21,750 --> 00:32:23,500
Motonari-dono.
388
00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:26,130
I want you to take over our clan.
389
00:32:26,130 --> 00:32:28,630
Are you still saying that?
390
00:32:28,630 --> 00:32:31,480
I thought it out, to make the decision.
391
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:38,800
I want to trust Mototsuna,
work with him, and take a safe path.
392
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,740
Have you ever become desperate?
393
00:32:44,310 --> 00:32:47,430
Have you ever risked your own life?
394
00:32:47,650 --> 00:32:49,760
It is important to avoid bloodshed.
395
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:55,370
But you always think with your head
and choose a well-paved path.
396
00:32:56,250 --> 00:33:01,580
Well-paved paths can be stopgap measures,
but they don't lead you to the future.
397
00:33:01,790 --> 00:33:04,290
We can't afford to think about the future.
398
00:33:04,540 --> 00:33:09,920
- We must avoid imminent dangers first.
- Dangers...
399
00:33:10,140 --> 00:33:15,770
...can be avoided or crushed by your forceful attacks.
400
00:33:15,770 --> 00:33:20,900
You must take over our clan,
crush the Amago's intervention...
401
00:33:20,900 --> 00:33:24,620
...and persuade Mototsuna-dono face-to-face.
402
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,280
That's the only way for the Mori to survive.
403
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,980
It's easy to say fine words,
but it's not that easy!
404
00:33:32,980 --> 00:33:35,810
That's why I'm telling you
to become desperate!!
405
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,160
I'm telling you to look forward...
406
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,310
...and just keep going forward!
407
00:33:41,570 --> 00:33:42,970
If he adopts the heir now,
408
00:33:42,970 --> 00:33:44,850
we'll fall right into the Amago's trap.
409
00:33:44,850 --> 00:33:46,960
The Mori will disappear.
410
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,740
You don't have to slay others.
411
00:33:48,740 --> 00:33:53,470
If you shed your own blood, you can move
even mountains that never move.
412
00:33:53,470 --> 00:33:55,400
Take over our clan.
413
00:33:55,790 --> 00:33:58,830
Protect the Mori by force.
414
00:33:58,830 --> 00:34:00,230
Shiji!!
415
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,180
You ran away at such a critical time.
How can you dare say that?
416
00:34:06,180 --> 00:34:06,830
I...
417
00:34:09,230 --> 00:34:09,730
I...
418
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:17,210
...already shed my own blood deep inside.
You don't know that.
419
00:34:17,210 --> 00:34:18,980
Begone!
420
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:30,780
I played sick to communicate
with people in Kyoto.
421
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:34,530
This is an informal letter from the shogunate.
422
00:34:34,530 --> 00:34:43,320
It says, "We acknowledge Motonari-dono
to become the clan's head."
423
00:34:59,260 --> 00:35:05,140
The shogunate agrees with your succession.
The adoption matter is gone now.
424
00:35:05,140 --> 00:35:12,810
But this makes us become betrayers
to the Amago, even if we fought with them.
425
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,630
So I'll go and apologize Tsunehisa.
426
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,880
Well.
427
00:35:20,190 --> 00:35:23,440
I don't mind if they chop my head off.
428
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,950
To make you take over our clan,
429
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:33,930
I can happily give my head away to them.
430
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:36,220
Why are you...?
431
00:35:37,830 --> 00:35:41,110
...working that much for me?
432
00:35:41,110 --> 00:35:47,410
Because Mori Motonari is a man, who is meant
to become a great commander.
433
00:35:47,790 --> 00:35:52,990
You are not replaceable.
434
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:57,820
I...
435
00:36:01,310 --> 00:36:01,810
I...
436
00:36:06,110 --> 00:36:11,320
...want to go forward in concert with Mototsuna.
437
00:36:12,460 --> 00:36:19,760
From a young age, I grew up without family.
438
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:27,750
That's why I'm so happy to become
single-minded with my only brother.
439
00:36:28,250 --> 00:36:30,410
Do you know that?
440
00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:35,750
I know it well.
441
00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:36,790
But...
442
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:43,750
...you are the only person who can save the Mori.
443
00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:49,680
Mototsuna-dono will let our clan die out.
444
00:36:59,970 --> 00:37:03,300
Day of Conference
445
00:37:03,300 --> 00:37:10,170
The day of the conference finally came,
with all the vassals of the Mori.
446
00:37:14,490 --> 00:37:19,280
I hope we can adopt a fine heir.
447
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,490
Right, Fukubara-dono?
448
00:37:39,220 --> 00:37:41,460
I asked all of you...
449
00:37:41,690 --> 00:37:47,650
...to come over today,
to make a decision on heirdom.
450
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,540
I'm going to take over our clan.
451
00:37:54,820 --> 00:37:56,210
Please wait!
452
00:37:56,210 --> 00:38:00,760
He has a letter of approval from the shogunate.
453
00:38:08,450 --> 00:38:16,690
"The heirdom shall be taken over
by Mori Shojiro Motonari-dono."
454
00:38:21,770 --> 00:38:27,930
I want everyone to follow the shogun's order.
455
00:38:27,930 --> 00:38:31,230
Bring the joint statement over.
456
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:50,490
Please sign on this joint statement
that approves Motonari-dono's succession.
457
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:08,590
Motonari-dono.
458
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:14,980
My longtime wish has come true.
I'm so happy, sir.
459
00:39:31,530 --> 00:39:36,510
On July 25, only ten days
after Komatsumaru died,
460
00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:42,570
the Mori clan decided to have
Motonari at Koriyama Castle.
461
00:39:42,810 --> 00:39:52,470
That's when Mori Motonari
became the Mori clan head.
462
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,660
I feel sorry for Mototsuna.
463
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,680
Don't get weak-hearted.
464
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:04,840
Shiji-dono wasn't beheaded.
465
00:41:05,910 --> 00:41:09,620
The Amago must have acknowledged you, sire.
466
00:41:16,750 --> 00:41:20,320
I betrayed Mototsuna cruelly.
467
00:41:20,780 --> 00:41:23,380
He'll never understand even if I talk to him.
468
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,130
Stop grumbling.
Just go forward.
469
00:41:26,130 --> 00:41:29,850
People say, "Keep going forward,
then, you'll never fall."
470
00:41:30,870 --> 00:41:31,530
I...
471
00:41:33,630 --> 00:41:36,260
I wasn't born to be a clan's head.
472
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:39,270
I just accidentally agreed.
473
00:41:41,630 --> 00:41:43,640
Because of Shiji.
474
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,670
I don't want to hear that.
475
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,890
Will Mototsuna help me?
476
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,630
I betrayed my only brother.
477
00:42:01,950 --> 00:42:05,430
What shall I do?
478
00:42:07,460 --> 00:42:11,450
I don't know what to do.
479
00:42:12,370 --> 00:42:14,360
Say, Mii...
480
00:42:34,910 --> 00:42:43,820
Motonari cut off his brotherhood.
He couldn't overcome the bitter feelings.
481
00:42:44,490 --> 00:42:48,550
Even Mii ran away from me.
482
00:42:55,170 --> 00:42:58,460
