1
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:16,790
I'm going to attack Koriyama Castle head-on,
2
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,380
leading the entire Amago army.
3
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,340
In August of 1540 (Tenbun 9),
4
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:27,650
the famous siege of Koriyama Castle began.
5
00:00:28,510 --> 00:00:32,780
It was one of the three greatest battles of Mori Motonari.
6
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,940
Amago Akihisa's 20,000-man army was counterattacked...
7
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:38,640
�by the only 1,200-man Mori army.
8
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:42,480
A head-on confrontation would give Motonari no chance of winning.
9
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,480
The Mori had only one choice to survive.
10
00:00:46,530 --> 00:00:48,910
With reinforcements from the Ouchi,
11
00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:52,450
the Mori could fight off the Amago.
12
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:55,340
If they couldn't get reinforcements, however,
13
00:00:55,340 --> 00:00:58,910
the castle would be captured by starvation tactics.
14
00:00:58,910 --> 00:01:01,650
Sue Okifusa has died.
15
00:01:01,650 --> 00:01:06,510
Since the Ouchi lost their mainstay,
they cannot afford to help the Mori.
16
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,500
Koriyama Castle was on the ragged edge.
17
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:14,240
The Mori clan was about to have the biggest crisis.
18
00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:29,700
MORI MOTONARI

53
00:03:55,890 --> 00:03:59,790
In August 1540 (Tenbun 9),
54
00:04:00,470 --> 00:04:03,190
to conquer Koriyama Castle,
55
00:04:03,450 --> 00:04:10,760
Amago Akihisa led a 20,000-man army
with the Shingu Party and Kikkawa Okitsune ...
56
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,880
... heading southward on the Iwami Road.
57
00:04:14,230 --> 00:04:15,190
We have ...
58
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,920
... no other choice than taking refuge in the castle.
59
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,870
Until the Ouchi army comes,
60
00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:26,860
we'll hole up in the castle.
61
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,530
The Ouchi army won't come.
62
00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:34,760
There's no chance of winning.
We must make peace and avoid fighting.
63
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,350
Then, Takamoto-dono's head will be chopped off!
64
00:04:38,350 --> 00:04:40,990
That's how war-torn eras are.
65
00:04:41,770 --> 00:04:42,830
Inoue-dono!
66
00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:44,860
You're putting it too bluntly!
67
00:04:44,860 --> 00:04:46,740
Okay, okay.
68
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,720
You're right. It'll work out if the Ouchi army comes.
69
00:04:52,510 --> 00:04:56,120
But the thing is, if we can hold up until then.
70
00:04:56,340 --> 00:05:01,610
The Amago army is too large for the size
of their provisioning and logistics troops.
71
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:03,390
Small logistics troops, huh?
72
00:05:03,390 --> 00:05:05,960
Yes, because we just finished harvesting rice.
73
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,410
So they're relying on that?
74
00:05:08,410 --> 00:05:09,470
I think so.
75
00:05:09,470 --> 00:05:11,110
I see.
76
00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:20,130
-- KORIYAMA CASTLE --
-- (Aki) --
77
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:29,440
Sire.
78
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:33,420
We'll keep our people in the castle.
79
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:35,470
Why is that, sire?
80
00:05:35,470 --> 00:05:37,400
We have 3,000 people.
81
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,170
They don't fit in here.
82
00:05:39,170 --> 00:05:42,750
If we take everybody in, it'll be dangerous,
even if they're from our fief.
83
00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:45,150
It'll be easier for spies to mingle in.
84
00:05:45,150 --> 00:05:46,260
Ridiculous.
85
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:53,310
The Amago want rice from Yoshida Village.
86
00:05:53,310 --> 00:05:57,450
This is a kind of tactic.
87
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,650
Our people will come here with
as much food as they can carry.
88
00:06:03,650 --> 00:06:07,290
Furthermore, we'll get 3,000 extra soldiers.
89
00:06:07,290 --> 00:06:09,220
True.
90
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:11,300
True.
91
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:18,240
The Amago must be trying to loot food from our people.
92
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,650
What's more, they want to use
our people as porters.
93
00:06:23,650 --> 00:06:25,150
Listen.
94
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,330
If our people come here with as much food as they can carry,
95
00:06:30,330 --> 00:06:34,590
it'll be an absurd miscalculation for the Amago.
96
00:06:34,590 --> 00:06:36,410
I see.
97
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:40,300
Post the proclamation in the castle town.
98
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,430
Tell all our people to stay in this castle.
99
00:06:43,430 --> 00:06:44,790
Got it?
100
00:06:50,670 --> 00:06:52,280
Hurry up.
101
00:06:54,290 --> 00:06:58,270
Motonari's tactics of keeping all the people in the castle ...
102
00:06:58,570 --> 00:07:01,780
... was something that nobody expected.
103
00:07:01,780 --> 00:07:06,850
But it was a huge and dangerous gamble.
104
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,220
What a lively battle!
105
00:07:26,540 --> 00:07:29,620
Moo-moo, quack-quack.
106
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,250
If we're going to die, we'd rather have a lively party.
107
00:07:34,490 --> 00:07:36,570
This isn't good.
108
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,700
Battles are determined by the will to fight.
109
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:44,220
In the midst of Moo-moos and quack-quacks,
110
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,960
how can we fight the Amago's 20,000?
111
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,550
We're not fighting.
112
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:49,210
We're dying.
113
00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:50,160
Right.
114
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,930
We're dying merrily.
115
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:53,660
Shut up!
116
00:07:53,660 --> 00:07:56,100
Everybody is getting ready to fight.
117
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:57,690
How can you believe our death?
118
00:07:57,690 --> 00:08:00,530
20,000 soldiers are coming.
We're destined to die.
119
00:08:00,530 --> 00:08:05,240
Since that's our destiny, we should stop struggling.
We should just enjoy.
120
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,150
That's the right path of a human.
121
00:08:07,150 --> 00:08:12,650
Fighting to the end without quitting is the right path of a human.
122
00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:13,660
Fujino-dono.
123
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:17,550
Starting today, I want you to confine yourself in your room.
124
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,490
Please stay in your room.
125
00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:21,160
Why is that?
126
00:08:21,530 --> 00:08:24,980
Because I'm in communication with the Kikkawa,
127
00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:27,660
I'm supposed to be beheaded.
128
00:08:28,830 --> 00:08:30,280
Please don't worry.
129
00:08:30,540 --> 00:08:31,800
Let's go.
130
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,860
Thanks.
131
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,500
Is everyone all right?
132
00:08:47,510 --> 00:08:48,420
Everyone.
133
00:08:48,770 --> 00:08:50,180
Oh, sire.
134
00:08:50,390 --> 00:08:54,360
You'll feel cramped here, but I want you to stay strong.
135
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,290
You're protecting us.
We appreciate it.
136
00:08:58,290 --> 00:09:00,700
We won't lose to the Amago!
137
00:09:02,650 --> 00:09:03,270
Everyone.
138
00:09:03,890 --> 00:09:06,550
We'll never lose.
139
00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:09,500
Don't worry.
140
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,500
The Amago army went southward on Iwami Road,
141
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:18,250
and set up camp behind Koriyama Castle, on Mt. Kazakoshi.
142
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:26,100
-- AMAGO HEADQUARTERS --
-- (Mt. Kazakoshi) --
143
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:33,300
-- AMAGO KUNIHISA (Shingu Party Head) --
- We, the Shingu Party, will show our real strength.
144
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:36,670
-- KIKKAWA OKITSUNE (Kikkawa Clan Head) --
- Akihisa-dono.
145
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,730
If you capture Koriyama Castle, please give it to me.
146
00:09:41,730 --> 00:09:43,490
-- AMAGO AKIHISA (Amago Clan Head) --
- Good.
147
00:09:43,490 --> 00:09:45,660
I'll give it to you, Okitsune.
148
00:09:46,410 --> 00:09:48,920
Our real enemy is Ouchi Yoshitaka.
149
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:52,190
Koriyama Castle is a mere stepping stone.
150
00:09:52,190 --> 00:09:54,400
I'll capture it in no time.
151
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Sire.
152
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,160
This is major.
153
00:09:58,250 --> 00:10:02,130
There are no people in their castle town.
Not even a single mouse.
154
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:03,490
What?
155
00:10:04,350 --> 00:10:05,430
Search it!
156
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:08,120
Bring the torch.
157
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:17,100
In search of food, the Amago army broke
into houses in Koriyama's castle town.
158
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,730
But they got nothing.
159
00:10:20,130 --> 00:10:22,710
They just set fires.
160
00:10:51,290 --> 00:10:53,890
-The Amago are nothing!
-That's right!
161
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:55,580
Hey, look!
162
00:10:55,850 --> 00:10:57,170
My house is burning!
163
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,700
What? My house is burning harder!
164
00:11:00,990 --> 00:11:02,620
Keep burning!
165
00:11:03,260 --> 00:11:03,990
Sire.
166
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,580
Nobody is upset.
167
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,830
They're full of energy.
168
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,940
The Amago are just 'unkaku'.
169
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,470
'Unkaku' means 'guests from Izumo.'
170
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:24,700
They're just 'unkaku' !!
171
00:11:28,190 --> 00:11:31,230
What a lively, enjoyable battle!
172
00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:32,680
Let's join them.
173
00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:35,640
Fukubara-dono.
174
00:11:37,390 --> 00:11:41,880
"Amago-dono, from Izumo, is unkaku."
175
00:11:42,150 --> 00:11:48,500
"Drag them down and run over them."
That's how the song goes.
176
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:54,870
Motozumi.
177
00:11:55,660 --> 00:11:58,530
The Amago will make a move to get food.
178
00:11:58,740 --> 00:12:00,200
I'll leave Tsurugiri to you.
179
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,390
Yes, immediately.
180
00:12:01,390 --> 00:12:02,860
Let's go, Kayou.
181
00:12:21,830 --> 00:12:23,200
The enemy!
182
00:12:25,570 --> 00:12:26,850
The enemy!
183
00:12:31,890 --> 00:12:33,560
Retreat!
184
00:12:33,810 --> 00:12:36,530
The Mori cut the enemy's food supply lines.
185
00:12:36,530 --> 00:12:39,960
It was their tactic to weaken the Amago's strength.
186
00:12:40,380 --> 00:12:44,970
Back then, these tactics were called "passage cutting."
187
00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:49,980
The Mori engaged in cutting supply lines
and harrying the Amago army.
188
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,720
-- OUCHI YOSHITAKA'S MANSION --
-- (Yamaguchi) --
189
00:12:53,150 --> 00:13:00,470
But this game was in the hands of
Ouchi Yoshitaka in Yamaguchi, Suo.
190
00:13:05,940 --> 00:13:10,760
It is a petition from my father, Motonari.
191
00:13:10,970 --> 00:13:14,410
-- OUCHI YOSHITAKA --
-- (Most Powerful Daimyo in Western Japan) --
192
00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:15,860
Sire.
193
00:13:16,330 --> 00:13:20,540
Please send your troops to the Mori.
194
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:24,120
Please, we beg you.
195
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:27,260
Motonari-dono is holding on well.
196
00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:29,620
-- SUE TAKAFUSA --
-- (Ouchi Vassal) --
197
00:13:29,620 --> 00:13:31,580
-- MORI TAKAMOTO (Motonari's First Son) --
-Thank you.
198
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:34,370
If you help us, we'll win for sure.
199
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,440
Very well.
200
00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:53,210
Sire.
201
00:13:54,190 --> 00:13:55,730
I'll send troops now.
202
00:13:55,730 --> 00:13:57,100
Wait.
203
00:13:57,650 --> 00:13:59,720
I'm not going to help them.
204
00:14:01,530 --> 00:14:03,170
Our goal is Kyoto.
205
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,950
I don't want to lose my soldiers before that.
206
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:07,160
Sire.
207
00:14:07,730 --> 00:14:11,380
If the Mori loses, the Amago will take Aki.
208
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,320
If you lose Aki, you'll lose the San'yodo Highway.
Your path to Kyoto will be cut.
209
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,190
But I don't lose my soldiers if I don't help them.
210
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,750
Are you going to leave the Mori to die?
211
00:14:25,230 --> 00:14:28,110
Other provinces will give up on the Ouchi.
212
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,770
They would think, "The Ouchi won't help us if we're in trouble."
213
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,830
I see.
214
00:14:39,570 --> 00:14:40,890
I'll send troops.
215
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:42,870
But keep them at Hofu.
216
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:46,240
Are you sending them, just for form?
217
00:14:48,140 --> 00:14:49,520
Sire.
218
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,620
Please rethink your plan to go to Kyoto.
219
00:14:53,940 --> 00:14:57,430
First, you must forge solid footing.
220
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,360
Don't go to Kyoto.
221
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,610
-- SUE OKIFUSA --
-- (Takafusa's Father) --
222
00:15:01,610 --> 00:15:04,680
If you show him Kyoto, the Ouchi go down!
223
00:15:05,890 --> 00:15:08,450
Don't go to Kyoto...
224
00:15:09,790 --> 00:15:12,790
The Ouchi army left Yamaguchi,
225
00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:16,730
but they stayed in Hofu. They didn't try to go to the Inland Sea.
226
00:15:23,290 --> 00:15:26,140
Why aren't his troops advancing?
227
00:15:26,140 --> 00:15:29,140
-- TOSHI (Naito Okimori's Daughter)--
-They will, for sure.
228
00:15:29,140 --> 00:15:30,600
I'm sure.
229
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,370
You're too naive.
230
00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:41,310
The lord wants to go to Kyoto. He doesn't want to lose his soldiers.
231
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,290
He was going to keep his troops in Hofu, from the beginning.
232
00:15:44,290 --> 00:15:45,460
No.
233
00:15:45,690 --> 00:15:47,950
He said they can't go further because they don't have boats.
234
00:15:47,950 --> 00:15:49,560
They're waiting for the navies to work with them.
235
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,390
-- KAME --
-I'm from a navy, so I'll never be tricked.
236
00:15:52,390 --> 00:15:54,570
I've never heard of something like that.
237
00:15:54,570 --> 00:15:56,600
He's helping your clan, just for form.
238
00:15:56,940 --> 00:16:00,900
He may not look it, but he's not naive at all.
239
00:16:02,950 --> 00:16:05,210
Motonari-dono often whines.
240
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,530
He whines while he thinks about something scary. That's why I like him.
241
00:16:10,530 --> 00:16:12,260
Just wait and see.
242
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,110
Motonari-dono won't die like this.
243
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,540
--KORIYAMA CASTLE --
-- (Aki) --
244
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,460
The Amago are coming!
245
00:16:21,330 --> 00:16:22,850
They're coming!
246
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,710
After recovering, the Amago army approached the castle.
247
00:16:31,710 --> 00:16:35,390
They were about to launch a concerted attack.
248
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,690
Aim!
249
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:04,580
Loose arrows!
250
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:13,440
Go!
251
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:29,830
The Mori, with their people in the castle, fought well.
252
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,660
They held against the Amago attacks.
253
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:37,880
With support from Amano Okisada and
the other constables on the Covenant,
254
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,740
they succeeded in repulsing the Amago's grand army.
255
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,590
Retreat!
256
00:17:47,210 --> 00:17:49,330
We won!
257
00:17:56,610 --> 00:18:01,710
The Amago sustained enormous damage and retreated.
258
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:09,830
-- AMAGO HEADQUARTERS --
-- (Mt. Mitsui, Aoyama) --
259
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:12,830
Sire.
260
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:14,500
-- UYAMA HISAKANE --
-- (Amago Army Staff) --
261
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:18,150
You should launch an all-out attack tomorrow morning.
262
00:18:25,230 --> 00:18:27,380
I'll go for starvation tactics.
263
00:18:27,380 --> 00:18:28,880
No, you can't!!
264
00:18:29,330 --> 00:18:32,430
You must capture the castle before the Ouchi move.
265
00:18:32,430 --> 00:18:33,750
Uyama-dono.
266
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,730
The Ouchi won't move from Hofu.
267
00:18:36,730 --> 00:18:39,100
We'll take our time attacking the Mori.
268
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,320
Sire.
269
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:46,100
If you push or hold back at a wrong time, you'll lose a winning battle.
270
00:18:46,430 --> 00:18:48,630
Now is the time for you to push.
271
00:18:48,860 --> 00:18:50,660
-All-out attack, sire!
-No.
272
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,290
I'll go for starvation tactics.
273
00:18:54,910 --> 00:19:01,850
If the battle prolongs, they'll run out of food, because they have their people in the castle.
274
00:19:02,110 --> 00:19:05,580
Their people will harm the Mori.
275
00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:09,490
I'll wait until Motonari gets tired of holing up in the castle.
276
00:19:09,490 --> 00:19:12,490
-- Fall 1540 (Tenbun 9) --
277
00:19:12,490 --> 00:19:14,720
Two months passed.
278
00:19:21,290 --> 00:19:22,920
Same for the western storage.
279
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,630
If we feed the people less, we'll be fine.
280
00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:27,740
It'll be an uproar then.
281
00:19:27,740 --> 00:19:28,950
What can we do?
282
00:19:29,740 --> 00:19:33,120
Shall we kick out noncombatants, such as women and children?
283
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,580
That's too...
284
00:19:34,860 --> 00:19:35,920
Then, what can we do?
285
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,120
Hold on.
286
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,170
Wait for your turn.
287
00:19:40,260 --> 00:19:41,660
Hope we can get it.
288
00:19:49,730 --> 00:19:50,890
Thank you so much!
289
00:19:51,150 --> 00:19:52,910
Thanks, everyone!
290
00:19:54,180 --> 00:19:54,620
Here.
291
00:19:54,620 --> 00:19:55,670
I'll do it.
292
00:19:55,930 --> 00:19:56,910
Here.
293
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,500
What?
294
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,300
Don't waste your strength!
295
00:20:17,610 --> 00:20:19,130
Be patient!
296
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:20,880
Repeat.
297
00:20:21,290 --> 00:20:25,960
"Wa Ga Yo Ta Re So, Tsu Ne Na Ra Mu."
298
00:20:26,550 --> 00:20:31,510
"U Hi No O Ku Ya Ma, Kyo Ko E Te." Repeat.
299
00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:35,510
You missed a stroke here.
Got it?
300
00:20:44,830 --> 00:20:46,500
-Sire, sire.
-Hey.
301
00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:49,940
Sire.
302
00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:51,110
Sire.
303
00:20:51,540 --> 00:20:53,820
I'm hungry.
304
00:20:55,590 --> 00:20:56,510
Be patient.
305
00:20:57,350 --> 00:21:00,100
If they capture our castle...?
306
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,320
We'll get killed.
307
00:21:03,810 --> 00:21:05,450
I don't want to die.
308
00:21:05,730 --> 00:21:11,210
Looks like the Ouchi are going to leave us to die.
309
00:21:11,210 --> 00:21:15,970
If the Amago take time like this, we have no chance of winning.
310
00:21:15,970 --> 00:21:16,560
Sire.
311
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:20,260
You should make Takamoto-dono prepared.
312
00:21:20,260 --> 00:21:21,380
You wretch!
313
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:22,710
Wait.
314
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:24,910
How much food do you have?
315
00:21:24,910 --> 00:21:27,870
It won't last 10 more days.
316
00:21:28,170 --> 00:21:30,900
But the people dug wells, so we have plenty of water.
317
00:21:31,470 --> 00:21:34,640
With that water, we can hold about 20 days.
318
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,680
Sire!
319
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,100
Please give me your soldiers!
320
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:38,560
I'll thrust into the enemy headquarters!
321
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,920
Calm down.
322
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,630
Their headquarters is in front of us. The other way.
323
00:21:43,630 --> 00:21:45,370
-I know it!!
-Quiet.
324
00:21:47,820 --> 00:21:49,740
They're even more well-guarded at night-time.
325
00:21:49,740 --> 00:21:51,790
Oh, well.
326
00:21:51,790 --> 00:21:54,160
To be honest, I'm knocked out this time.
327
00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:56,140
But...
328
00:21:56,750 --> 00:22:00,410
Strangely, every time the lord faced dangers before,
329
00:22:00,630 --> 00:22:05,340
he came up with a strategy nobody could think of.
330
00:22:06,290 --> 00:22:09,590
We should make a wish to him, instead of God.
331
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:16,700
I can't wait to see what kind of idea he'll come up with this time.
332
00:22:19,820 --> 00:22:21,250
I'm ashamed.
333
00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:25,310
I don't have any good idea now.
334
00:22:25,310 --> 00:22:27,740
500 ken (half a mile) to the enemy headquarters.
335
00:22:27,740 --> 00:22:33,500
I wonder if we can manage to go 120 ken (240 yards).
336
00:22:34,860 --> 00:22:37,250
There's nothing to hide here.
337
00:22:37,250 --> 00:22:40,360
They can have full view from their picket lines.
338
00:22:40,580 --> 00:22:46,570
I want to approach this far without being found by them.
339
00:22:49,130 --> 00:22:51,490
It won't work, I guess.
340
00:22:56,620 --> 00:22:57,620
Fog.
341
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,980
Ah, fog is coming.
342
00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:07,880
Shojumaru, let's go and play.
343
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:09,150
Let's go and play.
344
00:23:09,150 --> 00:23:10,290
Hey, Grandpa.
345
00:23:16,170 --> 00:23:17,130
Sire.
346
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,160
As your wife, I would like to tell you how everyone is feeling.
347
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,790
The Ouchi army is coming.
348
00:23:24,790 --> 00:23:25,500
-Calm down.
-Sire.
349
00:23:25,710 --> 00:23:32,500
Don't tell me you're going to yield to the Amago and make Takamoto-dono die.
350
00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:34,930
20,000 soldiers surround us.
351
00:23:34,930 --> 00:23:37,710
Are we just waiting to die? No other plan?
352
00:23:37,710 --> 00:23:40,470
Can you find a way to move the Ouchi soldiers from Hofu?
353
00:23:40,470 --> 00:23:42,600
The Ouchi army is coming.
354
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,330
Rather than making a bad move,
we should stay in a nutshell and...
355
00:23:47,330 --> 00:23:49,380
...find a way not to be smashed.
356
00:23:49,380 --> 00:23:51,590
You're always like that, sire.
357
00:23:51,970 --> 00:23:53,140
When it comes to this,
358
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:55,710
we should come out swinging and die fast!
359
00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:57,130
Hey, Shojumaru.
360
00:23:57,790 --> 00:23:58,990
Let's go and play.
361
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,520
Shall we, Grandpa?
362
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,960
Let's go and play.
363
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:06,500
Sire!
364
00:24:11,620 --> 00:24:12,970
He irritates me.
365
00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:18,320
Yeah, it's bad for the husband and wife to stay together all the time.
366
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,640
Since we holed up in the castle, I've been thinking a lot.
367
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,180
After the lord retires, he stays in the castle every day.
368
00:24:27,390 --> 00:24:28,940
I can't stand it.
369
00:24:29,170 --> 00:24:31,960
You don't need to worry about that.
370
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,980
Because we'll die soon.
371
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,760
After we die, I hope the lord is healthy but usually out of the house.
372
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,380
-- WATANABE KAYOU --
-- (Late Suguru's First Son) --
373
00:25:17,970 --> 00:25:18,450
Hey Grandpa.
374
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:24,880
When one dies, what do you think he thinks?
375
00:25:27,190 --> 00:25:31,540
I'll live forever.
376
00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:40,350
I'm going to hell soon.
377
00:25:43,810 --> 00:25:48,670
Takamoto and my people...
378
00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:54,860
I'm supposed to take all the blame.
379
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,680
Even small children before the age of reason...
380
00:26:01,910 --> 00:26:05,560
...might be starved to death.
381
00:26:06,820 --> 00:26:08,770
You're not wrong.
382
00:26:10,620 --> 00:26:13,160
Everyone is happy.
383
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:16,860
I know it.
384
00:26:18,690 --> 00:26:19,770
Shojumaru.
385
00:26:19,990 --> 00:26:21,160
Play with me.
386
00:26:22,250 --> 00:26:23,780
Shojumaru, huh?
387
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,650
Grandpa is here.
388
00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:34,200
I'm here.
389
00:26:35,330 --> 00:26:36,300
I'm here.
390
00:26:36,820 --> 00:26:38,720
Follow my claps.
391
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,310
Hey.
392
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,860
Grandpa.
393
00:26:44,610 --> 00:26:48,720
Grandpa, Grandpa.
394
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:57,990
You're not wrong.
395
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,360
Fog!
396
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:01,830
Fog's coming!
397
00:27:03,210 --> 00:27:04,340
Fog...?
398
00:27:09,410 --> 00:27:10,730
Fog!
399
00:27:15,730 --> 00:27:23,800
Motonari's long-awaited mountain fog
covered the Aki mountains in the morning.
400
00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:27,380
Good.
401
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:30,300
Sire!
402
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:31,110
Are you...?
403
00:27:31,110 --> 00:27:31,200
-I'm going to battle.
-Please wait.
404
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,610
It's better to die here, rather than being killed out there!
405
00:27:33,610 --> 00:27:34,430
I'm going out.
406
00:27:34,430 --> 00:27:36,280
Sire! Don't go out!
407
00:27:37,330 --> 00:27:38,980
Sire!!
408
00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:39,350
Hurry up!
409
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,430
Move it!
410
00:28:08,940 --> 00:28:10,590
250 years ago,
411
00:28:10,590 --> 00:28:17,880
our ancestors moved here all the way from Bando.
412
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:28,950
This is the mountain fog that has protected
us in Yoshida since our ancestor's times.
413
00:28:29,570 --> 00:28:36,160
With the fog's help, I'm going
to attack the Amago headquarters.
414
00:28:40,210 --> 00:28:41,700
Everyone.
415
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,230
Thanks for...
416
00:28:47,550 --> 00:28:50,740
...having worked so hard until today.
417
00:28:52,530 --> 00:28:58,320
I'm telling you this, in case I don't come back alive.
418
00:28:58,710 --> 00:29:02,410
I let everyone in my castle, because...
419
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:09,940
...I wanted to trick the enemy and give myself an edge in this battle.
420
00:29:10,350 --> 00:29:10,850
I...
421
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,600
I...
422
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:20,100
...didn't try to protect you.
423
00:29:21,740 --> 00:29:23,780
But you...
424
00:29:25,420 --> 00:29:27,100
You dug wells,
425
00:29:32,140 --> 00:29:34,120
fixed armor,
426
00:29:35,570 --> 00:29:37,190
helped us,
427
00:29:38,430 --> 00:29:40,440
and gave us courage.
428
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:47,450
As our refuge prolonged, you must have suffered so much.
429
00:29:48,770 --> 00:29:50,330
Everyone.
430
00:29:52,170 --> 00:29:53,530
Thank you...
431
00:29:55,210 --> 00:29:57,910
Thanks for having fought with us.
432
00:29:59,130 --> 00:30:00,300
I appreciate it.
433
00:30:02,130 --> 00:30:03,980
I appreciate it.
434
00:30:05,260 --> 00:30:10,340
Now is the time for me to repay you.
435
00:30:12,540 --> 00:30:14,700
I'm going to battle.
436
00:30:14,930 --> 00:30:15,810
Sire!
437
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:19,270
-Sire!
-We're counting on you!
438
00:30:28,350 --> 00:30:30,510
Let's go!!
439
00:30:41,730 --> 00:30:46,290
-- AMAGO HEADQUARTERS --
-- (Mt. Mitsui, Aoyama) --
440
00:31:06,820 --> 00:31:08,960
Get Akihisa's head!!
441
00:31:28,250 --> 00:31:33,890
Motonari thrust deep into the enemy
headquarters and threatened Amago Akihisa.
442
00:31:34,170 --> 00:31:38,550
But the Shingu Party fought back. He had to retreat.
443
00:31:38,830 --> 00:31:40,150
Open the gate!
444
00:31:41,340 --> 00:31:43,280
The lord returns!
445
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:46,710
Sire!
446
00:31:50,110 --> 00:31:51,360
Sire!
447
00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:59,920
Sire, I'm happy to see you alive.
448
00:32:00,150 --> 00:32:01,600
Hurray!
449
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:12,330
By going to battle himself, Motonari lifted
the spirits of his vassals and people.
450
00:32:17,780 --> 00:32:19,600
They're overjoyed.
451
00:32:22,570 --> 00:32:24,980
But there's nothing I can do now.
452
00:32:26,500 --> 00:32:27,920
Sorry.
453
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,750
I'm...
454
00:32:34,670 --> 00:32:37,780
...a man of this level, after all.
455
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,830
The Ouchi have given up on me a long time ago.
456
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:45,850
Without their help, my castle will be captured.
457
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,190
And we'll die.
458
00:32:57,780 --> 00:32:58,980
Sire.
459
00:32:59,650 --> 00:33:03,710
It was good that we had sent Takamoto as a hostage.
460
00:33:03,710 --> 00:33:07,300
Even if we get all killed here by the Amago,
461
00:33:07,300 --> 00:33:09,870
Takamoto won't die. He's in Yamaguchi.
462
00:33:09,870 --> 00:33:13,230
The Mori lineage won't end.
463
00:33:14,270 --> 00:33:15,230
Sire.
464
00:33:16,780 --> 00:33:21,120
Sending Takamoto as a hostage was a magnificent decision.
465
00:33:21,330 --> 00:33:25,870
One hostage for every household.
That's the secret.
466
00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:33,170
Mii.
467
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:52,750
I'm proud of you and Takamoto.
468
00:34:04,890 --> 00:34:08,450
"Dear Father and Mother,"
469
00:34:12,570 --> 00:34:18,270
"I apologize for dying before you."
470
00:34:18,590 --> 00:34:22,320
"From Shonotaro Takamoto"
471
00:35:04,130 --> 00:35:04,990
Stop!
472
00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:10,390
What are you doing?
473
00:35:13,460 --> 00:35:17,840
If I die, my father can surrender to the Amago!
474
00:35:20,590 --> 00:35:24,230
My father is better than me, in all aspects.
475
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:27,480
If I die,
476
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:31,130
it'll do good for the Mori!!
477
00:35:33,190 --> 00:35:34,920
Please let me die!
478
00:35:40,250 --> 00:35:41,620
Follow me!
479
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:52,420
Excuse me!
480
00:35:55,210 --> 00:35:56,410
What is it?
481
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,250
Sire.
482
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,390
Please send me to help the Mori.
483
00:36:07,620 --> 00:36:08,900
Sue-dono...
484
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:20,250
Let me tell you, at the risk of being beheaded.
485
00:36:20,980 --> 00:36:24,690
Sire, you're trying to go to Kyoto.
486
00:36:24,690 --> 00:36:28,600
Aren't you desperately trying to surpass your late father?
487
00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:33,850
I, Takafusa, feel the same way.
488
00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:38,760
By going to Kyoto, I wanted to fulfill
my father's unfinished dream...
489
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,630
...and thrust my accomplishment under his nose.
490
00:36:42,850 --> 00:36:44,550
But, sire.
491
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,760
Sons cannot surpass their fathers.
492
00:36:55,130 --> 00:37:00,240
Even if you do better job than your father,
493
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:04,830
your father's blood in your body did it.
494
00:37:06,820 --> 00:37:09,660
Rather than struggling to surpass your father,
495
00:37:10,750 --> 00:37:13,790
you should always proceed by talking to him all the time.
496
00:37:13,790 --> 00:37:20,290
That's what I realized for the first time, after I lost my father.
497
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:23,780
Sire.
498
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,130
Please chop my head off.
499
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,900
I want...
500
00:37:31,690 --> 00:37:34,710
I want my father to surrender now.
501
00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:38,760
I want to let him go.
502
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:45,300
Takamoto-dono is always
talking to his father, too.
503
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:49,340
Sire!
504
00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:53,580
I see.
505
00:38:07,350 --> 00:38:11,950
Takamoto is the only one who still has his father.
506
00:38:12,180 --> 00:38:14,730
I envy him.
507
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,330
Advance the army!
508
00:38:18,730 --> 00:38:19,880
Yes, sir!
509
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:26,200
The 15,000-strong Ouchi army, led by Sue Takafusa...
510
00:38:26,420 --> 00:38:28,390
...finally moved.
511
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,960
So the Ouchi moved?
512
00:38:41,220 --> 00:38:42,740
Let's go!
513
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,640
In January 13, 1541 (Tenbun 10),
514
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:56,940
the allied force of the Mori and the Ouchi
had a showdown with the Amago.
515
00:38:58,510 --> 00:39:00,620
Please retreat, sire.
516
00:39:00,950 --> 00:39:03,100
Our soldiers are exhausted.
517
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:05,100
It's reckless to fight the Sue army.
518
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:07,300
We're 20,000-strong!
519
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,390
Sue is nothing.
520
00:39:09,390 --> 00:39:11,570
If our escape route is blocked, it's dangerous.
521
00:39:11,570 --> 00:39:12,700
Sire.
522
00:39:12,700 --> 00:39:14,740
It takes courage to retreat.
523
00:39:14,740 --> 00:39:15,850
Right.
524
00:39:17,420 --> 00:39:19,650
-If the Mori block our escape...
-Good!
525
00:39:20,370 --> 00:39:21,580
You can all go home!
526
00:39:22,380 --> 00:39:23,960
I'm going myself!
527
00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:25,960
Out of the way!
528
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,330
Please retreat!
529
00:39:27,330 --> 00:39:29,390
I'll take the rear.
530
00:39:29,870 --> 00:39:31,250
Please protect the lord.
531
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:32,800
Please.
532
00:39:35,980 --> 00:39:37,660
Checkmate.
533
00:39:47,860 --> 00:39:51,440
The Amago finally started retreating.
534
00:39:52,230 --> 00:39:53,630
Loose arrows!
535
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:06,210
