1
00:00:17,484 --> 00:00:25,553
In 1576, 42 year old Oda
Nobunaga built Azuchi Castle.
2
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:29,336
Toyotomi Hideyoshi
was 40 years old,
3
00:00:29,963 --> 00:00:33,805
and distinguished himself as
Nobunaga's faithful follower.
4
00:00:34,834 --> 00:00:38,076
Tokugawa Ieyasu was 35.
5
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:42,672
He had allied himself with Nobunaga,
and was growing more powerful.
6
00:00:43,743 --> 00:00:48,210
At this time, Bontenmaru
was yet a child.
7
00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:53,003
The age difference was
a handicap to Masamune,
8
00:00:53,316 --> 00:00:57,383
who would later be subordinate
to the three great men.
9
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:23,045
The ages of Hideyoshi,
Ieyasu, and Masamune...
10
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:27,216
are similar to that of
baseball's Nagashima, Oh...
11
00:01:27,216 --> 00:01:31,716
and the brilliant young Kiyohara.
12
00:01:35,495 --> 00:01:37,462
When Nagashima and Oh
were at their peak,
13
00:01:37,462 --> 00:01:40,462
Kiyohara was still
in elementary school.
14
00:01:41,134 --> 00:01:43,510
Masamune who had dreams
of absolute power...
15
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:48,503
would later wish that he had
been born 20 years earlier.
16
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:56,610
MASAMUNE,
THE ONE-EYED DRAGON
17
00:01:58,470 --> 00:02:02,610

35
00:04:28,571 --> 00:04:29,912
Well, Bontenmaru?
36
00:04:30,136 --> 00:04:30,836
Yes.
37
00:04:31,537 --> 00:04:35,080
Come closer.
This is your brother.
38
00:04:38,537 --> 00:04:41,080
Why do you hesitate?
39
00:04:42,815 --> 00:04:48,827
Look, Bontenmaru.
His mouth is exactly like yours.
40
00:04:49,155 --> 00:04:53,229
Yoshi, well done.
41
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,070
I thank you.
42
00:04:56,896 --> 00:04:58,636
I am not worthy.
43
00:05:00,667 --> 00:05:05,634
My lord, today is the
7th day celebration.
44
00:05:07,073 --> 00:05:08,983
I've chosen "Jikumaru"
for his name.
45
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:10,186
Jikumaru?
46
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:13,086
"Jiku" is the character
in China-India.
47
00:05:13,381 --> 00:05:15,551
I think it's a fine name.
48
00:05:16,115 --> 00:05:18,089
Jikumaru...
49
00:05:19,419 --> 00:05:21,090
Jikumaru...
50
00:05:22,121 --> 00:05:25,008
Motonobu and Sagetsu
were quite impressed.
51
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:29,498
They're trying to find
a good wetnurse.
52
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:32,235
I don't need a wetnurse.
53
00:05:34,267 --> 00:05:36,643
Jikumaru is the second son.
54
00:05:36,643 --> 00:05:41,636
I wish to nurse him by myself.
55
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:43,548
Yoshi...
56
00:05:43,548 --> 00:05:47,043
Please, please.
57
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:55,093
Jikumaru...
58
00:05:56,122 --> 00:05:58,089
Jikumaru...
59
00:06:11,337 --> 00:06:12,378
Young Lord!
60
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:13,683
Tsunamoto!
61
00:06:13,683 --> 00:06:14,479
Yes.
62
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:16,610
Bring Haguro!
63
00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:17,642
Haguro?
64
00:06:17,642 --> 00:06:19,484
It's the black falcon
I used at Mt. Idate.
65
00:06:19,484 --> 00:06:21,251
It's gone.
66
00:06:21,251 --> 00:06:22,155
Dead?
67
00:06:22,155 --> 00:06:26,955
We don't know. It was lost
during the last hunting trip.
68
00:06:26,955 --> 00:06:28,361
Find it.
69
00:06:28,361 --> 00:06:29,832
I'm afraid...
70
00:06:29,832 --> 00:06:30,898
Find it!
71
00:06:33,226 --> 00:06:34,193
Yes!
72
00:06:39,866 --> 00:06:40,935
Young Lord...
73
00:06:44,470 --> 00:06:49,437
A leader must show
compassion to his men.
74
00:06:50,343 --> 00:06:54,344
It's unreasonable to demand
that they find a lost falcon.
75
00:06:54,344 --> 00:06:59,017
Abbot Kosai makes
unreasonable demands of me!
76
00:06:59,017 --> 00:07:03,291
It's Zen training.
To discipline you.
77
00:07:03,291 --> 00:07:06,289
I'm disciplining
my retainers, too.
78
00:07:24,143 --> 00:07:28,849
In May, the Date and Soma
clashed again at Higashine.
79
00:07:28,849 --> 00:07:32,848
And in August, the fighting
began in earnest in Igu County.
80
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,487
Lord Moritane of the Soma
was Terumune's cousin.
81
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,527
They were bitter enemies due
to a dispute over territory,
82
00:07:45,798 --> 00:07:50,765
which began after their grandfather
Tanemune died.
83
00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:59,307
From Watari Shigemune
to Date Sanemoto,
84
00:07:59,679 --> 00:08:04,646
the Date had the strength
of 16 armies.
85
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:09,119
The Soma, known for
their daring and valor,
86
00:08:09,119 --> 00:08:12,619
pitted their full
force in the battle.
87
00:08:15,316 --> 00:08:16,700
JANUARY 1577
88
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:19,029
The year ended with
no victory for either side.
89
00:08:19,602 --> 00:08:24,429
Terumune had to spend New
Year's in an encampment.
90
00:08:25,404 --> 00:08:26,609
Brother...
91
00:08:26,609 --> 00:08:28,514
Masakage?
What's up?
92
00:08:30,541 --> 00:08:33,508
The enemy have sent
a greenhorn leader.
93
00:08:33,508 --> 00:08:34,546
Greenhorn?
94
00:08:34,546 --> 00:08:35,946
Yoshitane.
95
00:08:38,851 --> 00:08:42,488
He's the great-grandchild
of Date Tanemune.
96
00:08:42,488 --> 00:08:43,966
They think we dare not fight him...
97
00:08:43,966 --> 00:08:48,491
lest we be disloyal
and risk divine punishment.
98
00:08:48,491 --> 00:08:50,267
Ridiculous.
99
00:08:50,267 --> 00:08:55,263
But the enemy's spirits are high.
Our morale might decline.
100
00:08:55,601 --> 00:09:00,568
Just send our gunners
to shoot them.
101
00:09:01,607 --> 00:09:06,574
Sir Terumune.
How old is Bontenmaru?
102
00:09:07,146 --> 00:09:08,920
Eleven.
103
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:13,757
How about sending for him...
104
00:09:13,757 --> 00:09:17,389
and have him do as Yoshitane did?
105
00:09:17,924 --> 00:09:21,993
Good!
Morale will increase a hundredfold!
106
00:09:26,832 --> 00:09:28,035
Fool!
107
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:34,847
How dare you!
It was Lord Terumune's idea!
108
00:09:34,847 --> 00:09:36,579
I refuse!
109
00:09:36,579 --> 00:09:40,383
All will be wasted,
if I let him go now!
110
00:09:40,383 --> 00:09:41,886
Dirty bonze...!
111
00:09:42,448 --> 00:09:44,415
It's unseemly, Sir Sagetsu!
112
00:09:45,055 --> 00:09:48,958
I was asked to produce
a leader with compassion!
113
00:09:48,958 --> 00:09:51,158
...Not a fighting dog!
114
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:52,531
A fighting dog?
115
00:09:52,531 --> 00:09:57,525
You can't use a boy
for a tool of war!
116
00:09:58,564 --> 00:10:02,518
Has the lord of the Date
gone crazy?!
117
00:10:02,518 --> 00:10:04,206
You dare...!
118
00:10:04,206 --> 00:10:07,839
Abbot Kosai is right!
Please leave!
119
00:10:07,839 --> 00:10:09,351
Not you, too?
120
00:10:09,351 --> 00:10:11,580
Prince Bontenmaru is
still in training.
121
00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:15,578
Would you cut down
a budding tree?!
122
00:10:16,749 --> 00:10:21,887
Listen well! Anyone who
disobeys our lord is executed!
123
00:10:22,221 --> 00:10:23,362
Fine!
124
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:27,003
Just don't burn me at the stake.
125
00:10:27,727 --> 00:10:30,069
I don't like the heat.
126
00:10:31,597 --> 00:10:32,564
Silence!
127
00:10:40,539 --> 00:10:45,506
Abbot Kosai is wise.
It makes sense.
128
00:10:45,506 --> 00:10:49,055
I'm afraid I overstepped
my bounds.
129
00:10:49,055 --> 00:10:54,048
I'm deeply ashamed.
We nearly walked into their trap.
130
00:10:54,286 --> 00:10:59,253
However, we must hasten
his manhood rites.
131
00:11:02,795 --> 00:11:04,739
This will be a long war.
132
00:11:05,765 --> 00:11:11,732
If anything happens to me,
you must lend Bontenmaru your support.
133
00:11:12,638 --> 00:11:14,114
Do not say such things.
134
00:11:15,041 --> 00:11:18,019
You seem to be tired.
135
00:11:18,019 --> 00:11:20,613
We'll take care of things here.
136
00:11:20,613 --> 00:11:24,147
Go to Yonezawa Castle
and rest awhile.
137
00:11:24,147 --> 00:11:25,983
A general can't leave his army.
138
00:11:26,218 --> 00:11:28,628
You said the battle
would be long.
139
00:11:28,628 --> 00:11:32,962
Bontenmaru and Jikumaru
have grown. Go see them.
140
00:11:32,962 --> 00:11:36,559
Do that, Brother.
141
00:11:43,684 --> 00:11:46,745
Go ta-ta's.
142
00:11:51,709 --> 00:11:52,778
It's Terumune!
143
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:58,754
Welcome home.
144
00:11:58,754 --> 00:11:59,955
Are you well?
145
00:11:59,955 --> 00:12:05,952
I pray for your victory
night and day.
146
00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:09,192
Thank you.
I read your letters many times.
147
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:12,708
Jikumaru!
148
00:12:12,708 --> 00:12:17,699
Nice to see you!
Come here.
149
00:12:19,751 --> 00:12:21,887
Here you are, Sire.
150
00:12:26,209 --> 00:12:27,921
He's so heavy.
151
00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:32,383
Peek-a-boo.
152
00:12:37,723 --> 00:12:38,890
My Lord...
153
00:12:43,796 --> 00:12:47,763
About Bontenmaru's
manhood rites...
154
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:51,776
Too early?
155
00:12:52,805 --> 00:12:54,976
The responsibility is great.
156
00:12:54,976 --> 00:12:56,383
Don't worry.
157
00:12:58,410 --> 00:13:01,586
Bontenmaru's growth
has been remarkable.
158
00:13:02,815 --> 00:13:07,782
He knows the Nine Chinese
Classics and enjoys poetry.
159
00:13:07,782 --> 00:13:14,854
Kojuro says Bontenmaru
has a boundless talent.
160
00:13:15,661 --> 00:13:19,628
Then why not let him
become a priest?
161
00:13:23,169 --> 00:13:25,074
A priest?
162
00:13:25,905 --> 00:13:29,308
He is retiring and timid.
163
00:13:29,542 --> 00:13:34,009
He lacks the strength
to lead the Date.
164
00:13:34,713 --> 00:13:38,021
Rather than be what
does not suit him,
165
00:13:38,021 --> 00:13:42,517
I think he should complete
his training under Abbot Kosai...
166
00:13:42,517 --> 00:13:46,017
and become a great priest...
167
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:49,631
who will teach
the Buddha's teachings.
168
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:53,030
Are you in your right mind?
169
00:13:56,335 --> 00:14:00,972
What will the Date do
without a successor?
170
00:14:00,972 --> 00:14:03,382
You have Jikumaru.
171
00:14:04,410 --> 00:14:05,979
What?
172
00:14:07,012 --> 00:14:10,347
Have you noticed
his masterful brows?
173
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:14,020
He is big-boned and
never catches cold.
174
00:14:14,253 --> 00:14:18,029
I'll make him the finest
lord in the land.
175
00:14:18,657 --> 00:14:23,035
You love Jikumaru
more than Bontenmaru?
176
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:26,967
Of course not.
177
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,467
They are both my sons.
178
00:14:32,467 --> 00:14:34,948
Because I love them equally,
179
00:14:34,948 --> 00:14:38,111
I want what suits each best.
180
00:14:38,111 --> 00:14:42,951
I won't hear of it again.
181
00:14:42,951 --> 00:14:46,019
It's for the sake of the Date!
182
00:14:46,019 --> 00:14:49,004
Bontenmaru is my successor.
183
00:14:50,289 --> 00:14:53,358
Jikumaru will go to the Kokubun.
184
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:55,096
The Kokubun?
185
00:14:57,529 --> 00:15:00,008
What do you mean?
186
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:02,106
My Lord?!
187
00:15:02,106 --> 00:15:04,271
Stop it!
188
00:15:05,304 --> 00:15:06,941
As you know,
189
00:15:07,973 --> 00:15:11,349
my brother Morishige
married into their family,
190
00:15:11,349 --> 00:15:14,355
but the hereditary vassals
will not obey him.
191
00:15:14,355 --> 00:15:21,347
So Morishige will be demoted to governor
and the Kokubun will adopt Jikumaru.
192
00:15:21,654 --> 00:15:25,021
What a heartless thing to do!
193
00:15:27,226 --> 00:15:29,029
Never call it "heartless."
194
00:15:30,863 --> 00:15:33,636
Jikumaru will be lord
of Sendai Castle.
195
00:15:33,636 --> 00:15:37,235
Please reconsider!
196
00:15:37,235 --> 00:15:41,577
I cannot lose Jikumaru, too!
197
00:15:41,577 --> 00:15:43,676
It is more than I can bear!
198
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:45,584
It won't be right away!
199
00:15:45,584 --> 00:15:47,248
My Lord!
200
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,647
My Lord!
201
00:16:05,598 --> 00:16:06,498
November 15, 1577
202
00:16:06,498 --> 00:16:11,965
Bontenmaru's manhood rites were
to be held on November 15, 1577.
203
00:16:13,405 --> 00:16:16,942
However, the Date were still
at war with the Soma.
204
00:16:16,942 --> 00:16:22,043
Terumune had to return
from his camp in Igu County.
205
00:16:23,716 --> 00:16:24,853
Pardon!
206
00:16:24,853 --> 00:16:27,452
Stay still, Sagetsu!
207
00:16:27,452 --> 00:16:30,655
Your restlessness makes us
feel even more depressed.
208
00:16:32,091 --> 00:16:34,058
I'm sorry.
209
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:44,378
Tsunamoto, has Lord
Terumune arrived yet?
210
00:16:44,378 --> 00:16:46,574
There is no sign of him, sir.
211
00:16:46,574 --> 00:16:49,947
Sadatoki, send someone
to meet him.
212
00:16:49,947 --> 00:16:52,953
Tell him everything
is ready here.
213
00:16:52,953 --> 00:16:55,018
Understood.
214
00:16:56,749 --> 00:17:01,023
How can Endo Motonobu
allow him to be late?
215
00:17:01,553 --> 00:17:04,258
He hasn't forgotten, I hope?
216
00:17:04,258 --> 00:17:08,197
I hope the Soma
haven't attacked him.
217
00:17:08,627 --> 00:17:10,605
My lords...
218
00:17:10,605 --> 00:17:13,364
This is a happy day, indeed.
219
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:15,733
Have you made a sacred fire?
220
00:17:15,733 --> 00:17:20,735
Yes, and it promises
great good fortune.
221
00:17:21,774 --> 00:17:26,741
Saint Dainichi Nyorai
appeared in the flames.
222
00:17:28,714 --> 00:17:33,681
At last good fortune
has come to the Date.
223
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:36,325
Happy day!
224
00:17:36,325 --> 00:17:38,005
It's too soon.
225
00:18:09,521 --> 00:18:11,590
Who's playing?
226
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:15,328
Lord Bontenmaru's guardian,
Katakura Kojuro.
227
00:18:15,328 --> 00:18:20,697
The page who cut out
Bontenmaru's right eye?
228
00:18:20,697 --> 00:18:22,732
Yes, sir.
229
00:18:22,732 --> 00:18:25,571
Low in rank, but most capable.
230
00:18:26,405 --> 00:18:29,906
He plays to relieve
Bontenmaru's boredom.
231
00:18:29,906 --> 00:18:31,909
How considerate.
232
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:38,846
Bontenmaru.
233
00:19:38,846 --> 00:19:41,787
The ceremonial robes
are very becoming.
234
00:19:41,787 --> 00:19:44,814
You look like a courtier.
235
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:47,529
Are you prepared?
236
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:51,524
From today,
you will be an adult.
237
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:52,601
Yes.
238
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:56,765
On this occasion, I give
you these prayer beads.
239
00:19:56,765 --> 00:19:59,534
Thank you, Mother.
240
00:20:02,565 --> 00:20:04,532
I feel sorry for you.
241
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:09,739
Do you truly wish
to be a samurai?
242
00:20:09,739 --> 00:20:12,412
I am a samurai's son.
243
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:15,014
Can you be strong,
like your father?
244
00:20:15,014 --> 00:20:16,118
Yes!
245
00:20:16,748 --> 00:20:19,317
Never bring disgrace
upon Saint Mankai's name.
246
00:20:19,317 --> 00:20:20,351
Yes!
247
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:26,353
Even a warlord's son must
suffer pain and loneliness.
248
00:20:27,459 --> 00:20:31,130
If you miss me,
look at these prayer beads.
249
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:35,030
And think of me.
250
00:20:38,604 --> 00:20:41,480
Excuse me.
Lord Terumune has returned.
251
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,109
Did you hear?
252
00:20:43,109 --> 00:20:44,014
Yes.
253
00:20:44,443 --> 00:20:48,751
Kojuro, I entrust
Bontenmaru in your care.
254
00:20:48,751 --> 00:20:49,723
Certainly, Ma'am.
255
00:20:49,723 --> 00:20:52,453
Noinoske and Kita, also.
256
00:20:53,485 --> 00:20:55,452
Certainly, Ma'am.
257
00:21:00,025 --> 00:21:01,162
Sorry to keep you waiting.
258
00:21:01,162 --> 00:21:04,501
We were nearly ready to leave.
259
00:21:04,501 --> 00:21:05,563
Where's Bontenmaru?
260
00:21:05,563 --> 00:21:06,836
He is coming now, Sire!
261
00:21:06,836 --> 00:21:10,002
Light the room!
262
00:21:10,002 --> 00:21:11,535
Did you get lost, Motonobu?
263
00:21:11,535 --> 00:21:15,139
We took the long way
to avoid the Soma.
264
00:21:15,139 --> 00:21:16,310
Where's Masakage?
265
00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:20,944
Your brother remained at
Kosai Castle as commander.
266
00:21:20,944 --> 00:21:22,684
A pity.
267
00:21:23,715 --> 00:21:26,284
Where is my father?
268
00:21:26,284 --> 00:21:30,262
An envoy came from
Suginome Castle.
269
00:21:30,262 --> 00:21:31,494
Envoy?
270
00:21:31,494 --> 00:21:34,462
He brought gifts
of congratulations.
271
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:36,293
Father isn't coming?
272
00:21:36,293 --> 00:21:37,772
Yes.
273
00:21:37,772 --> 00:21:42,263
My brother is very ill in bed.
274
00:21:42,263 --> 00:21:47,268
He deeply regrets not
being able to attend.
275
00:21:53,879 --> 00:21:59,218
Since the sun has set,
why not postpone the ceremony...
276
00:21:59,218 --> 00:22:01,614
until your father recovers?
277
00:22:01,614 --> 00:22:02,364
No!
278
00:22:03,889 --> 00:22:08,856
If I spoil my successor's start in life,
I'll suffer eternal shame.
279
00:22:10,929 --> 00:22:12,696
The Young Lord has arrived!
280
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:22,346
Bontenmaru.
281
00:22:22,346 --> 00:22:25,341
Come forward, before me.
282
00:22:39,825 --> 00:22:45,792
I am deeply grateful
to be accorded...
283
00:22:46,164 --> 00:22:49,431
my rites of manhood,
as is our custom.
284
00:22:51,503 --> 00:22:56,006
Well said.
I commend you.
285
00:23:08,687 --> 00:23:09,854
Pardon!
286
00:23:57,135 --> 00:24:00,277
You are no longer Bontenmaru.
287
00:24:02,007 --> 00:24:06,974
You are Date Tojiro Masamune.
288
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,347
Tojiro...
Masamune.
289
00:24:13,485 --> 00:24:15,029
Masamune...
290
00:24:22,093 --> 00:24:23,366
Masamune.
291
00:24:23,366 --> 00:24:25,998
Tojiro Masamune.
292
00:24:28,523 --> 00:24:31,848
That's right. In 16 generations
of the Date family,
293
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,933
the 9th lord, Masamune,
was known as the Restorer.
294
00:24:36,227 --> 00:24:40,600
A valiant warrior
and great statesman.
295
00:24:40,889 --> 00:24:43,889
Bontenmaru shall
be named after him.
296
00:24:43,889 --> 00:24:44,756
Most auspicious!
297
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:47,625
Congratulations.
298
00:25:04,671 --> 00:25:06,170
SUGINOME CASTLE
299
00:25:06,170 --> 00:25:11,138
A few days later, Terumune took
Masamune to Suginome Castle.
300
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:14,877
It was his father
Harumune's castle.
301
00:25:15,914 --> 00:25:17,017
Mother...
302
00:25:17,549 --> 00:25:22,516
Tojiro writes Chinese poetry and is
uncommonly skilled at linked verse.
303
00:25:22,516 --> 00:25:24,054
How wonderful.
304
00:25:24,054 --> 00:25:29,056
Even Abbot Kosai has
great hopes for him.
305
00:25:29,594 --> 00:25:32,034
Fortune upon good fortune.
306
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:35,607
Terumune...
307
00:25:36,234 --> 00:25:40,201
Are you awake, Father?
308
00:25:50,115 --> 00:25:53,016
What happened with the Soma?
309
00:25:53,016 --> 00:25:55,195
There is still no victor.
310
00:25:55,620 --> 00:25:59,087
We anticipate minor skirmishes.
311
00:26:06,831 --> 00:26:11,968
Remember Terumune,
do not overdo it.
312
00:26:12,737 --> 00:26:17,511
Think of your retainers.
313
00:26:17,511 --> 00:26:21,052
Attack when you must;
join hands when necessary.
314
00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:25,017
Never let our Date line die.
315
00:26:25,650 --> 00:26:27,053
I will remember.
316
00:26:28,286 --> 00:26:33,253
Let me remind you
the Date are rulers of Oshu.
317
00:26:33,992 --> 00:26:36,936
Bring the daimyo together.
318
00:26:36,936 --> 00:26:41,929
Whether you face Oda
Nobunaga or Uesugi Kenshin,
319
00:26:41,929 --> 00:26:47,929
it is vital not to
engage in needless war.
320
00:26:48,306 --> 00:26:50,009
I understand.
321
00:26:50,942 --> 00:26:55,909
Let this be my last will.
322
00:27:00,719 --> 00:27:05,686
Sanemoto, Munefuyu, mark it well.
323
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:12,259
As Terumune's advisors,
never forget it.
324
00:27:13,932 --> 00:27:14,874
Father...
325
00:27:17,802 --> 00:27:22,969
Terumune,
I must apologize to you.
326
00:27:25,343 --> 00:27:32,310
I fought my father,
creating internal turmoil.
327
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:37,884
After retiring,
I relied on traitor Nakano Munetoki,
328
00:27:38,256 --> 00:27:42,064
and nearly warred against you.
329
00:27:42,064 --> 00:27:44,162
It is past.
330
00:27:45,196 --> 00:27:48,901
Fighting your own son
is a shameful thing.
331
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:53,900
It divides the retainers
and invites self-destruction.
332
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,607
Be good to Bontenmaru.
333
00:28:01,346 --> 00:28:05,313
I swear, by the gods.
334
00:28:06,785 --> 00:28:08,058
Bontenmaru...
335
00:28:08,058 --> 00:28:10,791
I am Tojiro Masamune.
336
00:28:11,823 --> 00:28:14,024
Masamune.
337
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,668
Be good to your parents.
338
00:28:18,668 --> 00:28:19,664
Yes.
339
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:31,580
Father...
340
00:28:34,012 --> 00:28:35,979
Forgive me.
341
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:43,052
I was a bad son to you.
342
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,297
Only 20 days after
Bontenmaru became a man...
343
00:28:53,297 --> 00:28:55,070
Harumune died.
344
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:59,068
He was 59.
345
00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:12,879
Henceforth, I shall
treat you as an adult.
346
00:29:14,652 --> 00:29:17,130
The lessons will be difficult.
347
00:29:17,655 --> 00:29:19,099
I understand.
348
00:29:20,525 --> 00:29:23,762
What do you understand?
349
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:27,240
You must not agree so easily!
350
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:31,643
Be more obstinate.
351
00:29:31,643 --> 00:29:33,036
Obstinate?
352
00:29:37,275 --> 00:29:39,082
Does it hurt?
353
00:29:40,111 --> 00:29:42,487
Then say it doesn't hurt.
354
00:29:42,487 --> 00:29:44,583
It doesn't hurt!
355
00:29:44,583 --> 00:29:46,319
If it doesn't, say it hurts!
356
00:29:46,751 --> 00:29:48,009
It hurts!
357
00:29:50,588 --> 00:29:53,055
Do you hate me?
358
00:29:54,092 --> 00:29:55,059
No!
359
00:30:00,098 --> 00:30:02,071
Good.
360
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,367
Laugh when you want to cry.
361
00:30:04,367 --> 00:30:09,367
When it's hot, say it's cold
...and vice versa.
362
00:30:10,675 --> 00:30:14,002
This is the secret
of obstinacy.
363
00:30:31,162 --> 00:30:33,538
Kita!
What are you doing?
364
00:30:34,566 --> 00:30:36,037
Shoes...
365
00:30:36,267 --> 00:30:39,068
Not necessary!
Remove them!
366
00:30:40,805 --> 00:30:42,510
Yes. But...
367
00:30:42,510 --> 00:30:45,882
His mother made them for him.
368
00:30:45,882 --> 00:30:47,945
His mother?!
369
00:30:47,945 --> 00:30:51,855
Lest he hurt himself in the fields.
370
00:30:52,884 --> 00:30:55,691
He was born with shoes!
371
00:30:56,721 --> 00:30:58,824
Shoes that get stronger with use!
372
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:02,302
Shoes he cannot remove!
373
00:31:04,829 --> 00:31:07,136
I know!
These shoes!
374
00:31:07,136 --> 00:31:07,856
Right!
375
00:31:10,735 --> 00:31:14,838
How careless women are!
376
00:31:14,838 --> 00:31:19,117
They forget what their
sons were born with!
377
00:31:19,844 --> 00:31:22,913
I wish I had shoes
that never got dirty.
378
00:31:23,948 --> 00:31:25,323
What?
379
00:31:25,850 --> 00:31:29,024
Then I wouldn't
have to wash them!
380
00:31:29,654 --> 00:31:31,632
Don't step on the plants!
381
00:31:34,993 --> 00:31:37,260
Always ready with an answer...!
382
00:31:42,567 --> 00:31:47,374
In 1578,
neighboring lord Tamura Kiyoaki...
383
00:31:47,374 --> 00:31:53,369
sent head retainer
Mukaidate Takumi to Yonezawa Castle.
384
00:31:59,217 --> 00:32:00,422
Marriage?
385
00:32:01,452 --> 00:32:06,419
I heard Prince Bontenmaru
had his manhood rites last year.
386
00:32:06,691 --> 00:32:07,862
Yes.
387
00:32:08,893 --> 00:32:13,860
I understand he is gifted in
martial arts and scholarship.
388
00:32:14,098 --> 00:32:21,967
His ability is known
throughout the Tohoku.
389
00:32:22,907 --> 00:32:25,183
Is that true?
390
00:32:25,810 --> 00:32:28,152
You should be proud.
391
00:32:29,180 --> 00:32:31,783
Who is the intended bride?
392
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:36,783
In all Oshu, there can be
no bride for your heir...
393
00:32:38,022 --> 00:32:42,466
other than the princess
of Miharu Castle.
394
00:32:42,466 --> 00:32:48,067
Are you referring to
Lord Kiyoaki's daughter?
395
00:32:48,067 --> 00:32:50,407
That is correct.
396
00:32:51,436 --> 00:32:59,403
The beauty and dignity of the princess
are unequalled in the land!
397
00:33:02,046 --> 00:33:05,713
She is accomplished in
poetry and playing the koto.
398
00:33:05,713 --> 00:33:08,013
And she has learned the
art of incense and the way of tea.
399
00:33:09,887 --> 00:33:14,854
What impresses me is that...
400
00:33:14,854 --> 00:33:19,854
she has never exhibited
displeasure before others.
401
00:33:19,854 --> 00:33:23,238
How old is she?
402
00:33:23,238 --> 00:33:25,836
Ten years old this year.
403
00:33:25,836 --> 00:33:27,671
I have heard...
404
00:33:28,406 --> 00:33:34,577
that Lord Kiyoaki has no
children but the princess.
405
00:33:35,246 --> 00:33:40,213
I hope you won't make our
young lord an adopted groom?
406
00:33:40,213 --> 00:33:41,591
Hardly.
407
00:33:41,591 --> 00:33:45,120
Then you want the second
son for bridegroom?
408
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,066
Isn't he just an infant?
409
00:33:48,066 --> 00:33:50,570
Thank you for the fine gift.
410
00:33:50,570 --> 00:33:53,000
Never mind that.
411
00:33:53,331 --> 00:33:57,832
I am offering the daughter
of the Tamura clan...
412
00:33:58,567 --> 00:34:04,634
to Prince Bontenmaru as his bride.
413
00:34:05,076 --> 00:34:07,418
This is most strange.
414
00:34:08,446 --> 00:34:09,787
Strange?
415
00:34:10,815 --> 00:34:15,782
If you let your princess go,
what will become of your clan?
416
00:34:16,154 --> 00:34:19,123
That is the question.
417
00:34:19,757 --> 00:34:23,065
May we clear the room?
418
00:34:23,065 --> 00:34:24,765
No one is here.
419
00:34:25,797 --> 00:34:30,064
I am chief guardian
to the young lord.
420
00:34:32,303 --> 00:34:35,304
Very well, then...
421
00:34:35,304 --> 00:34:37,009
Please go ahead.
422
00:34:37,275 --> 00:34:40,412
After the marriage takes place,
423
00:34:40,412 --> 00:34:45,389
and an heir is born to them,
424
00:34:45,389 --> 00:34:51,383
I would like to ask that
the second or third son...
425
00:34:52,824 --> 00:34:55,825
be given to the Tamura.
426
00:34:56,861 --> 00:35:00,464
Give a daughter for a grandson?
427
00:35:00,464 --> 00:35:08,465
Our lord wishes to entrust the
fate of the Tamura to the Date...
428
00:35:10,408 --> 00:35:15,375
Please convey our wishes
to your lord.
429
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,551
A futile endeavor.
430
00:35:18,551 --> 00:35:19,492
What?
431
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:21,654
We cannot guarantee the future.
432
00:35:22,687 --> 00:35:25,000
Do you mean to
shame Lord Kiyoaki?
433
00:35:25,823 --> 00:35:27,028
Do not argue!
434
00:35:28,059 --> 00:35:31,003
How dare you!
435
00:35:32,029 --> 00:35:35,373
After prostrating myself
before you,
436
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,206
I cannot withdraw!
437
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:43,705
Marriage, already?
438
00:35:43,705 --> 00:35:46,412
The girl's father made the offer.
439
00:35:46,412 --> 00:35:49,013
How shameful.
440
00:35:49,013 --> 00:35:50,524
Put yourself in their place.
441
00:35:51,549 --> 00:35:54,391
They must be anxious for an heir.
442
00:35:54,919 --> 00:35:56,761
Please refuse them.
443
00:35:59,790 --> 00:36:01,199
Why?
444
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:04,896
It's presumptuous to
take a newborn child.
445
00:36:04,896 --> 00:36:07,532
He'll be the lord of Miharu Castle.
446
00:36:07,532 --> 00:36:11,441
They'll be loyal to the Date.
447
00:36:11,441 --> 00:36:16,436
The Tamura domain is small.
They won't help Bontenmaru much.
448
00:36:16,436 --> 00:36:21,541
He must have a bride
from a bigger clan.
449
00:36:21,946 --> 00:36:23,253
Such as?
450
00:36:23,253 --> 00:36:25,823
The Mogami or the Osaki.
451
00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:29,560
Mogami's daughter
married into the Nobizawa.
452
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,122
Let's wait until the
next daughter is born.
453
00:36:33,157 --> 00:36:38,124
Tojiro is only twelve.
There is no need to hurry.
454
00:36:46,170 --> 00:36:47,739
Commit hara-kiri?
455
00:36:47,739 --> 00:36:48,681
Yes.
456
00:36:48,681 --> 00:36:50,673
If the marriage offer is refused,
457
00:36:50,673 --> 00:36:53,973
he says he'll kill himself
in apology to his lord.
458
00:36:54,979 --> 00:37:00,183
We needn't do it
just to save his face!
459
00:37:00,183 --> 00:37:01,491
He also said...
460
00:37:01,491 --> 00:37:05,827
the Tamura would cut their
ties with the Date.
461
00:37:05,827 --> 00:37:08,027
Is he trying to threaten us?
462
00:37:08,027 --> 00:37:09,026
Just the opposite.
463
00:37:09,859 --> 00:37:13,026
The Tamura are in desperate
need of our help.
464
00:37:13,598 --> 00:37:17,235
The Nikaido, Yuki, and
Ouchi want their territory.
465
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:21,071
The Ashina, Satake, and
Ishikawa are also waiting.
466
00:37:21,405 --> 00:37:23,372
The Tamura cannot wait
until war breaks out.
467
00:37:23,705 --> 00:37:28,372
An alliance with us
will hold the enemy off.
468
00:37:29,013 --> 00:37:30,220
That's their scheme!
469
00:37:30,848 --> 00:37:33,015
Allying ourselves with the Tamura...
470
00:37:33,015 --> 00:37:36,815
will make enemies of
the Ashima and Satake.
471
00:37:37,755 --> 00:37:41,324
We will be justified
in defeating them!
472
00:37:41,324 --> 00:37:44,060
We must defeat the Soma first.
473
00:37:44,395 --> 00:37:48,135
If we join the Tamura,
we can surround the Soma.
474
00:37:48,135 --> 00:37:49,609
Indeed.
475
00:37:49,609 --> 00:37:50,901
Not necessarily.
476
00:37:54,034 --> 00:37:58,601
The princess' mother was a Soma.
477
00:38:01,612 --> 00:38:04,079
My word.
478
00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:21,062
Keep your legs in!
Back straight!
479
00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:26,735
Back straight!
480
00:38:34,345 --> 00:38:35,312
My Lord!
481
00:38:40,584 --> 00:38:41,721
Young Lord!
482
00:38:41,721 --> 00:38:42,823
Young Lord!
483
00:38:45,456 --> 00:38:46,005
Young Lord!
484
00:38:48,225 --> 00:38:51,199
There is no need
for an immediate reply.
485
00:38:52,029 --> 00:38:56,996
We should ascertain
Kiyoaki's true motives.
486
00:38:58,869 --> 00:39:02,836
I see everyone
has voiced his opinion.
487
00:39:08,245 --> 00:39:11,012
Your decision, Sire?
488
00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:14,517
I have decided.
489
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:20,767
We shall accept Tamura's daughter.
490
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:21,863
Brother...
491
00:39:21,863 --> 00:39:26,859
In order to rule Oshu, we must
fight Ashina and Satake someday.
492
00:39:27,398 --> 00:39:31,138
The castle in Tamura is in
a strategic position.
493
00:39:31,138 --> 00:39:35,737
Their retainers are divided between
Date supporters and Soma supporters.
494
00:39:35,737 --> 00:39:38,978
After Lord Kiyoaki dies,
anything can happen.
495
00:39:38,978 --> 00:39:41,544
His daughter will be our hostage.
496
00:39:41,544 --> 00:39:42,386
Hostage?
497
00:39:42,386 --> 00:39:47,380
As my wife was.
A bride is also a hostage.
498
00:39:47,952 --> 00:39:51,028
I'm impressed.
499
00:39:51,355 --> 00:39:54,000
Send a messenger to the Tamura.
500
00:39:54,592 --> 00:39:57,831
Tell them we'll be happy
to accept his daughter.
501
00:39:57,831 --> 00:39:59,271
Yes, sir.
502
00:39:59,271 --> 00:40:00,399
Reporting!
503
00:40:00,399 --> 00:40:01,738
What is it?
504
00:40:01,738 --> 00:40:03,971
Lord Bontenmaru fell from his horse.
505
00:40:03,971 --> 00:40:05,713
He fell?!
506
00:40:05,713 --> 00:40:08,103
He remains unconscious.
507
00:40:14,078 --> 00:40:16,216
What happened, Tojiro?
508
00:40:16,216 --> 00:40:17,850
Nothing serious.
509
00:40:18,883 --> 00:40:19,883
Is he conscious?
510
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:23,259
Still groggy.
511
00:40:23,259 --> 00:40:24,060
Is he hurt?
512
00:40:24,060 --> 00:40:25,088
A few scratches.
513
00:40:25,088 --> 00:40:26,327
Forgive me!
514
00:40:26,327 --> 00:40:27,335
Fool!
515
00:40:27,858 --> 00:40:30,495
You're supposed to be his guardian!
516
00:40:30,495 --> 00:40:32,006
Stop, Sagetsu!
517
00:40:32,006 --> 00:40:33,598
Don't move.
518
00:40:33,598 --> 00:40:35,404
It wasn't Kojuro's fault.
519
00:40:35,404 --> 00:40:37,411
The horse was bad.
520
00:40:37,411 --> 00:40:39,811
I'm the one who fell.
521
00:40:40,838 --> 00:40:42,543
Don't get excited, Sagetsu.
522
00:40:42,543 --> 00:40:47,042
Riders often fall.
You did, too.
523
00:40:51,115 --> 00:40:56,120
I decided on a bride for you,
Tojiro.
524
00:40:57,321 --> 00:41:03,035
She is Princess Mego,
the only daughter of Tamura Kiyoaki.
525
00:41:03,761 --> 00:41:06,466
"Mego" is the character for "lovable."
526
00:41:06,466 --> 00:41:11,569
She is only ten years old,
but the prettiest in the land.
527
00:41:11,569 --> 00:41:13,273
Did you send the messenger?
528
00:41:13,273 --> 00:41:14,523
No...
529
00:41:15,773 --> 00:41:20,740
Fool!
What are you waiting for?!
530
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,233
How unreasonable of him.
531
00:41:43,267 --> 00:41:48,234
Lord Terumune should know
how you feel, My Lady.
532
00:41:48,772 --> 00:41:53,510
Enough. I've given Tojiro up.
533
00:41:54,845 --> 00:41:57,287
How pitiful!
534
00:41:58,215 --> 00:42:05,418
But I'll never let Jikumaru go.
535
00:42:05,418 --> 00:42:08,423
I will never let him go.
536
00:42:11,195 --> 00:42:12,162
Jiku...
537
00:42:56,574 --> 00:42:59,984
Young Lord, congratulations.
538
00:43:01,011 --> 00:43:05,178
The princess is
a maiden of rare quality.
539
00:43:06,183 --> 00:43:11,150
Even in the capital of Kyoto,
people would be in awe of her.
540
00:43:11,922 --> 00:43:13,027
