1
00:00:09,536 --> 00:00:13,444
In the 25-year history
of the NHK Taiga Drama,
2
00:00:13,444 --> 00:00:16,583
the Honnoji attack has
been depicted five times.
3
00:00:17,410 --> 00:00:23,046
This incident takes place
early in Masamune's life.
4
00:00:27,654 --> 00:00:31,825
Cruelly mistreated
by Oda Nobunaga,
5
00:00:31,825 --> 00:00:35,602
Akechi Mitsuhide attacked
Nobunaga at Honnoji, Kyoto,
6
00:00:35,602 --> 00:00:39,096
where Nobunaga killed himself.
7
00:00:48,942 --> 00:00:57,808
On the brink of unifying the country,
Oda Nobunaga died at the age of 49.
8
00:01:11,031 --> 00:01:15,510
Upon hearing the news,
Hideyoshi took 35,000 men...
9
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:18,172
speedily returned from Takamatsu,
10
00:01:18,607 --> 00:01:22,981
and defeated Akechi
Mitsuhide at Yamazaki.
11
00:01:24,010 --> 00:01:28,583
Thus, the leader in the
race for supreme power...
12
00:01:28,583 --> 00:01:31,082
became Hashiba Hideyoshi.
13
00:01:32,925 --> 00:01:34,325

KAKUDA CASTLE
38
00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:06,415
The Honnoji incident...
39
00:04:06,415 --> 00:04:09,676
shocked even the daimyo
of the Tohoku.
40
00:04:10,677 --> 00:04:15,352
Motonobu, We should keep
an eye on the Kyoto area.
41
00:04:15,352 --> 00:04:16,826
Yes, sire.
42
00:04:17,851 --> 00:04:20,761
Hashiba Hideyoshi seems
quite capable.
43
00:04:20,761 --> 00:04:22,890
What kind of man is he?
44
00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:26,460
He started out as
sandal-carrier for Nobunaga,
45
00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:30,595
and worked hard to achieve
unprecedented success.
46
00:04:30,595 --> 00:04:32,105
An upstart.
47
00:04:32,532 --> 00:04:35,533
Still, we must not
take him lightly.
48
00:04:35,533 --> 00:04:37,739
Hideyoshi is an
exceptional strategist.
49
00:04:37,739 --> 00:04:42,038
He captured a castle
without bloodshed.
50
00:04:43,676 --> 00:04:46,016
Good vassals are
a clan's treasure.
51
00:04:47,447 --> 00:04:52,524
Acknowledge good men,
regardless of background.
52
00:04:52,524 --> 00:04:54,052
Mark it well, Tojiro.
53
00:04:54,052 --> 00:04:55,062
Father...
54
00:04:55,989 --> 00:05:00,199
Please promote Katakura
Kojuro to commander.
55
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:01,294
Kojuro?
56
00:05:01,294 --> 00:05:07,730
It is a waste to keep him
as a guardian.
57
00:05:09,502 --> 00:05:12,344
Well said, Young Lord!
You have an eye for talent!
58
00:05:12,344 --> 00:05:15,578
He is a good fighter.
59
00:05:15,578 --> 00:05:18,279
He'll be helpful in war and peace.
60
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,152
There's no harm in promoting him.
61
00:05:20,152 --> 00:05:22,556
All things must wait their turn.
62
00:05:22,556 --> 00:05:26,788
How can we place a newcomer
over established vassals?
63
00:05:26,788 --> 00:05:28,359
Look at Hideyoshi.
64
00:05:29,088 --> 00:05:30,895
Though he was
inexperienced, at first,
65
00:05:30,895 --> 00:05:34,561
once he proved himself,
others followed him.
66
00:05:34,561 --> 00:05:38,138
In our clan, it's Motonobu.
67
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:42,767
Who'd expect such success
from a mountain priest's son?
68
00:05:42,767 --> 00:05:43,517
Thank you!
69
00:05:47,607 --> 00:05:48,651
A 200-kan fief?
70
00:05:49,075 --> 00:05:50,382
Yes.
71
00:05:50,382 --> 00:05:52,354
I also have a house in town,
72
00:05:52,354 --> 00:05:56,022
and am included in council.
73
00:05:56,850 --> 00:05:57,907
Kojuro.
74
00:05:57,907 --> 00:05:59,895
I owe it all to you, Sister.
75
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,896
If I left Yonezawa,
76
00:06:02,896 --> 00:06:05,627
I would still be
searching for work.
77
00:06:05,627 --> 00:06:07,602
Such wonderful news!
78
00:06:07,602 --> 00:06:11,127
Now we can work together...
79
00:06:11,331 --> 00:06:14,169
for the sake of the Date
and our young lord.
80
00:06:14,169 --> 00:06:15,173
Yes.
81
00:06:15,502 --> 00:06:17,271
You cannot serve two masters.
82
00:06:17,904 --> 00:06:20,571
I will never forget
what you taught me.
83
00:06:26,246 --> 00:06:28,053
Divine punishment!
84
00:06:28,053 --> 00:06:31,286
Oda Nobunaga was
punished by the Buddha!
85
00:06:31,818 --> 00:06:35,087
He killed his brother,
banished his mother,
86
00:06:35,087 --> 00:06:38,194
burned Hiezan and killed
thousand of priests!
87
00:06:38,194 --> 00:06:41,498
He had no qualms about
destroying the faithful!
88
00:06:42,529 --> 00:06:46,496
The Buddha would never
forgive such a monster!
89
00:06:50,570 --> 00:06:56,212
Nobunaga also killed
my teacher, Abbot Kaisen.
90
00:06:56,212 --> 00:07:00,018
But Nobunaga himself
died at Honnoji.
91
00:07:00,647 --> 00:07:04,614
Truly, one reaps
what he has sown.
92
00:07:10,523 --> 00:07:14,433
Do you know Abbot Kaisen's last words?
93
00:07:14,433 --> 00:07:17,503
To a clear soul,
even fire is cool.
94
00:07:17,503 --> 00:07:18,505
Correct.
95
00:07:18,932 --> 00:07:23,604
For an enlightened soul,
fire will not feel hot.
96
00:07:23,604 --> 00:07:26,478
So saying, he stepped
into the flames.
97
00:07:27,507 --> 00:07:29,417
But look at Nobunaga.
98
00:07:29,417 --> 00:07:32,909
Instead of dying calmly,
he resisted till the end!
99
00:07:37,650 --> 00:07:40,926
By the way, what brings you here?
100
00:07:40,926 --> 00:07:44,421
Since we received some time off,
101
00:07:44,421 --> 00:07:46,798
we came to chat and
tell you about the battle.
102
00:07:46,798 --> 00:07:49,003
Don't talk about killing!
103
00:07:54,833 --> 00:07:56,133
My lord...
104
00:07:57,470 --> 00:08:01,205
If you have so much time,
make love to your wife.
105
00:08:36,576 --> 00:08:39,484
Aren't you feeling well, sire?
106
00:08:40,513 --> 00:08:41,718
Kojuro...
107
00:08:41,718 --> 00:08:42,751
Yes.
108
00:08:43,383 --> 00:08:46,059
I wish I could have met Nobunaga.
109
00:08:47,622 --> 00:08:52,622
To see what kind of man
could reign supreme.
110
00:08:53,860 --> 00:08:58,204
He defeated 40,000
with just 2,000 men.
111
00:08:58,204 --> 00:09:01,402
Hearing about the Battle of
Okehazama always thrills me.
112
00:09:01,402 --> 00:09:05,004
I wanted to see Azuchi Castle
with its 7 towers.
113
00:09:05,538 --> 00:09:09,881
Imagine how it feels to give
orders to great men.
114
00:09:10,910 --> 00:09:12,445
I feel the same.
115
00:09:13,479 --> 00:09:17,457
I always respected Nobunaga.
116
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,023
I want to live like Nobunaga.
117
00:09:23,456 --> 00:09:26,427
It's a samurai's dream
to conquer the land.
118
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,127
After that, I won't care how I die.
119
00:09:32,598 --> 00:09:34,098
Kosai said Nobunaga deserved it,
120
00:09:34,098 --> 00:09:37,132
but to be ruler,
you must destroy the opposition.
121
00:09:37,132 --> 00:09:39,182
You might even have to be cruel.
122
00:09:40,206 --> 00:09:44,309
A samurai doesn't die like a priest.
123
00:09:44,309 --> 00:09:46,753
Nobunaga didn't die
a shameful death.
124
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:48,689
He fought until his
arrows ran out,
125
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,056
then used the spear.
126
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:53,229
He fought all he could,
then killed himself.
127
00:09:54,954 --> 00:09:56,489
You are right.
128
00:09:58,524 --> 00:09:59,502
Kojuro...
129
00:09:59,502 --> 00:10:00,559
Yes.
130
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,071
I'm going to see...
131
00:10:02,071 --> 00:10:05,062
if I really am the
reincarnation of St. Mankai!
132
00:10:26,724 --> 00:10:29,802
YAMAGATA CASTLE
133
00:10:31,324 --> 00:10:36,133
Two sons were born to
Mogami Yoshiaki this year.
134
00:10:37,163 --> 00:10:40,270
One was the son of
his wife, Lady Osaki,
135
00:10:40,270 --> 00:10:44,743
and the other was the son
of his concubine, Lady Tendo.
136
00:10:45,772 --> 00:10:47,346
The snows have come.
137
00:10:49,075 --> 00:10:51,503
The battle will have
to cease this year.
138
00:10:52,078 --> 00:10:54,078
Please have a good rest.
139
00:10:54,078 --> 00:10:56,016
I can't.
140
00:10:56,749 --> 00:11:00,016
With Nobunaga's death,
things are happening.
141
00:11:01,754 --> 00:11:04,008
I must change my strategy.
142
00:11:04,724 --> 00:11:08,001
All men think of is war.
143
00:11:11,564 --> 00:11:13,371
Don't complain.
144
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:21,072
When I rule the land,
you will live in luxury.
145
00:11:22,108 --> 00:11:24,075
I cannot live that long.
146
00:11:26,612 --> 00:11:29,748
Don't be discouraged.
I'll find a good medicine.
147
00:11:32,785 --> 00:11:33,720
My lord...
148
00:11:35,354 --> 00:11:39,061
Have you found Yorihisa yet?
149
00:11:40,326 --> 00:11:44,636
No. He was hidden
by the Hosokawa...
150
00:11:44,636 --> 00:11:46,365
and escaped to Oshu.
151
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,479
Was it really a substitute
who was killed at Tendo?
152
00:11:51,479 --> 00:11:52,845
How many times must I tell you?
153
00:11:52,845 --> 00:11:53,909
My lord!
154
00:11:56,042 --> 00:11:58,077
It's the truth.
155
00:11:59,111 --> 00:12:02,214
For pity's sake...
156
00:12:02,214 --> 00:12:07,025
if you find my brother,
please spare his life!
157
00:12:08,054 --> 00:12:09,793
That depends on Yorihisa.
158
00:12:10,823 --> 00:12:14,892
If he surrenders quietly,
I'll spare him.
159
00:12:17,027 --> 00:12:18,394
Blood...!
160
00:12:21,634 --> 00:12:26,847
Blood is dripping from the ceiling!
161
00:12:28,875 --> 00:12:30,342
It's in your mind.
Pull yourself together!
162
00:12:34,747 --> 00:12:38,693
Lady Tendo had become
Yoshiaki's concubine...
163
00:12:38,693 --> 00:12:41,025
in order to save
her brother Yorihisa.
164
00:12:41,554 --> 00:12:45,927
However, two years earlier,
Yoshiaki had destroyed Yorihisa,
165
00:12:45,927 --> 00:12:51,771
and shortly thereafter,
Lady Tendo died of an illness.
166
00:12:52,798 --> 00:12:55,799
The Date have recovered most
of their lands from the Soma.
167
00:12:55,799 --> 00:13:00,002
They are ready to attack
Sir Yoshitane's headquarters.
168
00:13:01,274 --> 00:13:03,911
Should I send help?
169
00:13:03,911 --> 00:13:07,000
You should help Date.
170
00:13:07,613 --> 00:13:08,488
What?
171
00:13:08,488 --> 00:13:10,821
The Date's victory seems certain,
172
00:13:10,821 --> 00:13:15,817
so the Hatakeyama and
Ouchi are helping them.
173
00:13:16,722 --> 00:13:20,962
They have no principles.
They just want the rewards.
174
00:13:20,962 --> 00:13:24,335
Still, it's not wise
to defy the Date now.
175
00:13:24,335 --> 00:13:25,897
I won't imitate
the Hatakeyama or Ouchi!
176
00:13:25,897 --> 00:13:29,569
Fighting is not the only answer.
177
00:13:30,403 --> 00:13:34,245
Fortunately, we are at
peace with the Date now.
178
00:13:34,245 --> 00:13:38,240
But we need insurance
against future attack.
179
00:13:39,612 --> 00:13:40,555
Insurance?
180
00:13:40,555 --> 00:13:42,006
Yes, sire.
181
00:13:43,416 --> 00:13:45,053
Any good ideas?
182
00:13:45,053 --> 00:13:53,009
Why not marry Princess Koma
to Jikumaru of the Date?
183
00:13:55,227 --> 00:13:56,864
Marry Koma to them?
184
00:13:56,864 --> 00:13:58,001
Yes.
185
00:13:58,001 --> 00:14:03,005
Absurd! What can the
second son do?
186
00:14:03,005 --> 00:14:08,038
If the heir dies,
Jikumaru will lead the Date.
187
00:14:10,609 --> 00:14:12,002
What?
188
00:14:12,411 --> 00:14:15,378
I will arrange it.
189
00:14:19,151 --> 00:14:21,095
I refuse.
190
00:14:21,095 --> 00:14:22,693
Why?
191
00:14:23,422 --> 00:14:25,991
I promised Jikumaru
to the Kokubun.
192
00:14:25,991 --> 00:14:28,196
Complications have arisen.
193
00:14:29,527 --> 00:14:32,534
Still, I promised.
194
00:14:33,299 --> 00:14:38,040
But Jikumaru can still take a wife.
195
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:44,177
Too soon. Jikumaru is seven
and Koma is three.
196
00:14:44,177 --> 00:14:46,120
My brother says they
can be betrothed.
197
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,216
I say no!
198
00:14:48,848 --> 00:14:50,815
You are raising your voice.
199
00:14:55,653 --> 00:15:01,367
You can't trust Yoshiaki.
He's capable of anything.
200
00:15:02,395 --> 00:15:04,600
May I tell him that?
201
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,369
Suit yourself.
202
00:15:06,369 --> 00:15:08,502
Then you don't trust me, either?
203
00:15:08,502 --> 00:15:09,671
Absurd.
204
00:15:09,671 --> 00:15:13,112
You dislike the Mogami strain!
205
00:15:13,112 --> 00:15:15,174
You blame me for Tojiro's wildness!
206
00:15:15,174 --> 00:15:16,174
I never said that!
207
00:15:25,551 --> 00:15:30,824
In 1583, the Date set up
camp at Mt. Myogo...
208
00:15:30,824 --> 00:15:36,130
and captured Kanayama Castle and
Marumori Castle of the Soma.
209
00:15:37,196 --> 00:15:39,299
Commanding the forces at the front...
210
00:15:39,299 --> 00:15:40,598
was Watari Motomune.
211
00:15:44,870 --> 00:15:51,447
In the Chou area,
Hideyoshi defeated Shibata Katsuie...
212
00:15:51,447 --> 00:15:54,046
and secured his position
as Nobunaga's successor.
213
00:15:55,782 --> 00:15:59,084
ARIMA HOT SPRINGS, SETTSU
Hideyoshi was 47.
214
00:16:03,422 --> 00:16:05,400
Who did the Hojo join hands with?
215
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:06,367
The Date.
216
00:16:06,367 --> 00:16:07,233
Who are the Date?
217
00:16:07,233 --> 00:16:09,430
Date Terumune of Oshu, sir.
218
00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:10,405
That's far.
219
00:16:10,405 --> 00:16:13,439
The lords of Tohoku,
fearing your power...
220
00:16:13,439 --> 00:16:16,342
are probably banding
together for security.
221
00:16:17,368 --> 00:16:20,403
When did you become my advisor?
222
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:23,452
I didn't mean...!
223
00:16:24,477 --> 00:16:25,277
Fool.
224
00:16:26,427 --> 00:16:28,112
Stay here.
225
00:16:29,081 --> 00:16:30,248
Pardon my rudeness!
226
00:16:36,822 --> 00:16:41,525
Ishida Mitsunari was 24.
227
00:16:41,525 --> 00:16:42,531
Nene!
228
00:16:42,761 --> 00:16:43,702
Nene!
229
00:16:44,630 --> 00:16:45,630
Where are you?
230
00:16:46,665 --> 00:16:48,199
Here, my lord...
231
00:16:49,301 --> 00:16:52,245
Here's something interesting.
232
00:16:53,272 --> 00:16:55,182
A present from Sakai.
233
00:16:55,182 --> 00:16:56,480
What is it?
234
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,006
It's an instrument from Europe.
235
00:17:01,814 --> 00:17:05,917
It's called an orgel-lu.
236
00:17:05,917 --> 00:17:07,358
Orgel-lu?
237
00:17:07,358 --> 00:17:09,529
Ready? Here goes.
238
00:17:15,127 --> 00:17:16,537
What do you think?
239
00:17:19,565 --> 00:17:21,270
You try it.
240
00:17:24,301 --> 00:17:26,508
That's good.
241
00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:33,509
I never heard such a sound.
242
00:17:33,946 --> 00:17:35,087
Fun?
243
00:17:36,315 --> 00:17:38,116
This gift is nothing.
244
00:17:39,852 --> 00:17:40,702
The land is mine.
245
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,767
Soon Osaka Castle
will be rebuilt.
246
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,682
Much larger than Azuchi Castle...
247
00:18:09,548 --> 00:18:12,083
More beautiful...
248
00:18:13,619 --> 00:18:14,686
More...
249
00:18:17,623 --> 00:18:18,862
What's wrong?
250
00:18:19,892 --> 00:18:24,597
I didn�t do anything.
251
00:18:24,597 --> 00:18:26,005
It's not playing.
252
00:18:26,005 --> 00:18:26,838
Yes.
253
00:18:26,838 --> 00:18:28,865
Try it.
254
00:18:28,865 --> 00:18:30,008
Yes.
255
00:18:38,177 --> 00:18:39,377
Like this.
256
00:18:49,388 --> 00:18:50,888
How strange.
257
00:18:52,625 --> 00:18:54,092
Hit it.
258
00:19:01,433 --> 00:19:05,210
Meanwhile, the Date and
Soma continued to battle.
259
00:19:06,238 --> 00:19:11,450
Don't hesitate. Crush them
in one fell swoop.
260
00:19:12,011 --> 00:19:16,582
Don't go too far!
We'll fall into their traps.
261
00:19:17,082 --> 00:19:20,992
Ambush. They have the
geographical advantage.
262
00:19:20,992 --> 00:19:24,959
A stag at bay is dangerous.
263
00:19:24,959 --> 00:19:28,525
A prolonged war will
deplete our supplies!
264
00:19:28,525 --> 00:19:31,595
The Soma haven't given up yet.
265
00:19:31,595 --> 00:19:32,672
Father...
266
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:36,507
Please hear Kojuro out.
267
00:19:40,539 --> 00:19:42,506
All right. Speak.
268
00:19:47,179 --> 00:19:49,248
Our victories shouldn't
make us conceited.
269
00:19:49,248 --> 00:19:51,088
We know that.
270
00:19:51,088 --> 00:19:54,355
If we attack right
before the harvest,
271
00:19:54,355 --> 00:19:57,656
the Soma will burn
their fields out.
272
00:19:58,691 --> 00:20:00,930
Then the farmers will cures us,
273
00:20:00,930 --> 00:20:04,664
and fight us with
plows and hoes.
274
00:20:04,664 --> 00:20:06,607
If we lay down our arms,
275
00:20:06,607 --> 00:20:10,269
and let the farmers
enjoy their harvests,
276
00:20:10,269 --> 00:20:13,246
when Soma lands become
Date territory,
277
00:20:13,246 --> 00:20:16,807
they will serve us
as good subjects.
278
00:20:16,807 --> 00:20:18,581
A peace treaty?
279
00:20:18,581 --> 00:20:20,179
A truce.
280
00:20:21,213 --> 00:20:24,151
Our troops are exhausted
from the long war.
281
00:20:24,151 --> 00:20:27,151
Discontent breeds
among the footsoldiers.
282
00:20:27,151 --> 00:20:29,027
I think we should
return to Yonezawa,
283
00:20:29,027 --> 00:20:31,555
bury the dead,
treat the wounded,
284
00:20:31,555 --> 00:20:35,625
and let the men enjoy time
with their families.
285
00:20:36,662 --> 00:20:38,469
Ridiculous!
286
00:20:38,469 --> 00:20:40,100
We'll be short of men!
287
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:42,406
The Soma are also tired.
288
00:20:43,435 --> 00:20:45,602
I think they would welcome a truce.
289
00:21:08,460 --> 00:21:10,460
The following April,
290
00:21:10,460 --> 00:21:14,031
Terumune attacked the Soma again.
291
00:21:14,031 --> 00:21:16,271
However, with Tamura Kiyoaki
as mediator,
292
00:21:16,271 --> 00:21:19,177
a peace treaty was finally made.
293
00:21:21,206 --> 00:21:24,116
Now the Soma are helpless.
294
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:27,382
Ashina Moritaka sent
a letter of congratulations.
295
00:21:27,382 --> 00:21:30,652
"The daimyo of Ou must make
the Date an elder brother...
296
00:21:30,652 --> 00:21:33,853
"and be a happy family."
297
00:21:33,853 --> 00:21:36,006
Touching, isn't it?
298
00:21:36,321 --> 00:21:39,007
My congratulations.
299
00:21:40,225 --> 00:21:44,838
Tojiro also did well.
He learned war tactics.
300
00:21:44,838 --> 00:21:47,898
I hear he fought like a daredevil.
301
00:21:47,898 --> 00:21:53,109
Mother. In his youth,
Nobunaga was also a daredevil.
302
00:21:53,439 --> 00:21:55,849
Do you wish to die, Tojiro?
303
00:21:55,849 --> 00:22:00,713
No. I wish to be like
Nobunaga and rule the land.
304
00:22:00,713 --> 00:22:01,951
The land?
305
00:22:01,951 --> 00:22:03,049
Well said!
306
00:22:04,082 --> 00:22:06,387
Remember your vow.
307
00:22:07,352 --> 00:22:08,125
Yes.
308
00:22:08,125 --> 00:22:12,090
A daredevil fighter
cannot take the power.
309
00:22:12,090 --> 00:22:15,727
Since I am young,
I must make haste.
310
00:22:15,727 --> 00:22:18,205
I must catch up with
Tokugawa and Hashiba,
311
00:22:18,205 --> 00:22:21,640
who are in a stalemate
at Komakiyama.
312
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,372
Tojiro?
313
00:22:23,402 --> 00:22:27,579
Who will win,
Hashiba or Tokugawa?
314
00:22:27,579 --> 00:22:28,643
I don't know.
315
00:22:29,775 --> 00:22:31,310
Tokugawa must win.
316
00:22:32,344 --> 00:22:36,186
He has ties with the Hojo,
who are our allies.
317
00:22:36,186 --> 00:22:37,156
Yes.
318
00:22:38,083 --> 00:22:42,288
Conquest is fine,
but sire a son first.
319
00:22:44,323 --> 00:22:49,597
Mego, how long have
you been married?
320
00:22:50,629 --> 00:22:52,300
Five years.
321
00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:56,601
Lord Tamura is also
waiting anxiously.
322
00:22:56,601 --> 00:22:58,035
Stop it, Yoshi.
323
00:22:58,670 --> 00:23:03,015
Tojiro was at war and had no time.
324
00:23:05,344 --> 00:23:07,217
Lord Jikumaru...
325
00:23:08,247 --> 00:23:10,323
Look, Brother.
326
00:23:14,352 --> 00:23:16,228
You're improved.
327
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:20,028
Even master Koan is astounded.
328
00:23:20,028 --> 00:23:23,570
You shall have a pony, then.
329
00:23:23,570 --> 00:23:25,539
Thank you, Father.
330
00:23:28,567 --> 00:23:30,534
How wonderful.
331
00:23:52,791 --> 00:23:55,035
I'm sorry.
332
00:23:55,260 --> 00:23:58,298
Don't worry.
That's how Mother is.
333
00:23:59,031 --> 00:24:02,441
She's only thinking of us.
334
00:24:03,468 --> 00:24:06,043
I know that.
335
00:24:07,072 --> 00:24:09,039
Then cheer up.
336
00:24:35,133 --> 00:24:39,876
Meanwhile, Mogami Yoshiaki
had subjugated Ushu...
337
00:24:39,876 --> 00:24:43,008
and had his eye on Oshu.
338
00:24:44,543 --> 00:24:46,453
Help the Date
against the Ashina,
339
00:24:46,453 --> 00:24:48,785
or help the Ashina
against the Date?
340
00:24:48,785 --> 00:24:52,723
The young Date heir has mettle.
341
00:24:53,251 --> 00:24:56,018
He says he'll take
the power someday.
342
00:24:58,423 --> 00:25:03,201
Upstart. He doesn't even
know what's involved.
343
00:25:03,201 --> 00:25:07,035
We should find betrayers
within Yonezawa...
344
00:25:07,035 --> 00:25:09,339
and plan a revolt.
345
00:25:11,370 --> 00:25:14,946
Good idea. And put spies
among the people...
346
00:25:14,946 --> 00:25:16,951
and spread bad rumors
about Tojiro.
347
00:25:16,951 --> 00:25:18,917
Yes, sire.
348
00:25:21,346 --> 00:25:22,517
Morimune...
349
00:25:24,316 --> 00:25:27,521
Do you think I can conquer the land?
350
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,725
I swear by god Hachiman,
351
00:25:31,725 --> 00:25:34,292
I think you were sent by the gods...
352
00:25:34,292 --> 00:25:38,293
to be the greatest unifier of all times.
353
00:25:49,875 --> 00:25:55,947
Meanwhile, Hideyoshi and Ieyasu
waged seesaw battles...
354
00:25:55,947 --> 00:25:59,048
in Ise, Owari, and Mino.
355
00:26:24,876 --> 00:26:26,854
Ieyasu is strong.
356
00:26:27,879 --> 00:26:32,687
You can't underestimate him.
What do you think?
357
00:26:33,552 --> 00:26:35,956
He is not that strong.
358
00:26:35,956 --> 00:26:40,000
You can soon bring
him to his knees.
359
00:26:46,364 --> 00:26:47,305
Drink.
360
00:26:48,233 --> 00:26:50,000
Thank you, sire.
361
00:27:03,568 --> 00:27:05,279
How is it?
362
00:27:08,321 --> 00:27:09,974
Very good...
363
00:27:10,271 --> 00:27:12,345
Do you want some water?
364
00:27:15,127 --> 00:27:17,006
I'll give you water.
365
00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:22,167
I'll flood Takehana.
Make ready.
366
00:27:25,303 --> 00:27:26,370
Yes, my lord!
367
00:27:59,271 --> 00:28:01,544
"Your unprecedented service
this time was..."
368
00:28:01,544 --> 00:28:04,346
"...manifestly apparent."
369
00:28:04,346 --> 00:28:10,454
After the Soma campaign,
Terumune rewarded good warriors.
370
00:28:10,454 --> 00:28:14,058
However, conflicts among
the retainers arose.
371
00:28:15,387 --> 00:28:17,194
"The last day of Kanoe-Saru
(Monkey Deity's Month), 1584."
372
00:28:17,194 --> 00:28:20,189
"From Terumune.
To Sir Katakura Kojuro."
373
00:28:23,995 --> 00:28:27,067
We all agree that
Kojuro deserves recognition.
374
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:31,940
But 200 kan is too much!
375
00:28:32,971 --> 00:28:37,483
Established retainers wish
to issue a direct protest.
376
00:28:37,483 --> 00:28:40,385
I'll never allow such a thing!
377
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:42,049
It's more than a few!
378
00:28:42,581 --> 00:28:44,081
To put it strongly,
379
00:28:44,081 --> 00:28:47,009
the majority of retainers
are indignant!
380
00:28:47,586 --> 00:28:54,225
Lord Terumune cannot
overturn his own decision.
381
00:28:54,225 --> 00:28:58,297
If the younger vassals are dissatisfied,
382
00:28:58,297 --> 00:29:00,535
we invite destruction of the clan!
383
00:29:00,535 --> 00:29:05,640
Their loyal ancestors are
crying in their graves!
384
00:29:06,171 --> 00:29:09,149
Are you saying I made a mistake?
385
00:29:09,149 --> 00:29:13,721
I'm only expressing the
opinions of the retainers!
386
00:29:13,721 --> 00:29:15,046
Stop it, Motomune.
387
00:29:16,781 --> 00:29:21,858
I do not mean to slight
our established vassals.
388
00:29:22,888 --> 00:29:27,491
But today, a sandal-carrier
can be ruler of the land.
389
00:29:27,491 --> 00:29:31,492
Hereditary daimyo can't
be resting on their lands.
390
00:29:32,764 --> 00:29:36,367
If I promote outsiders
according to their ability,
391
00:29:36,367 --> 00:29:38,504
they will perform even better.
392
00:29:40,038 --> 00:29:46,082
This will inspire the
established retainers...
393
00:29:46,082 --> 00:29:49,382
not to be outdone
by the newcomers.
394
00:29:50,248 --> 00:29:54,117
Brilliant!
Two birds with one stone.
395
00:30:00,492 --> 00:30:03,697
Even in the age where
vassals overthrew masters,
396
00:30:03,697 --> 00:30:04,933
a few lords of Tohoku...
397
00:30:04,933 --> 00:30:09,963
only fought bitterly
against each other.
398
00:30:11,502 --> 00:30:15,009
However, Terumune had foresight.
399
00:30:15,573 --> 00:30:17,915
He felt, in an unchanging system,
400
00:30:17,915 --> 00:30:22,511
they could never keep up
with the Chuo area.
401
00:30:25,817 --> 00:30:29,318
With Terumune as go-between,
Katakura Kojuro married Tsuta,
402
00:30:29,318 --> 00:30:34,695
the daughter of Shigesada,
a respected vassal.
403
00:30:37,162 --> 00:30:41,197
With your success,
you'll probably encounter criticism.
404
00:30:41,197 --> 00:30:44,968
Do your duty so that
no one speaks ill of you.
405
00:30:44,968 --> 00:30:46,044
I will.
406
00:30:46,871 --> 00:30:52,451
Please devote yourself
to the clan, too, Tsuta.
407
00:30:52,451 --> 00:30:54,478
I will.
408
00:30:56,514 --> 00:31:00,321
Oniniwa Tsunamoto and I
have the same father.
409
00:31:00,321 --> 00:31:03,060
Kojuro and I have the same mother.
410
00:31:03,688 --> 00:31:07,662
Because of me,
they are like brothers.
411
00:31:07,662 --> 00:31:11,529
Tsunamoto will always
be glad to help you.
412
00:31:12,564 --> 00:31:18,001
I shall be counting on your help.
413
00:31:18,737 --> 00:31:21,272
You shall have it.
414
00:31:22,307 --> 00:31:23,682
Kojuro.
415
00:31:23,682 --> 00:31:24,617
Yes.
416
00:31:24,617 --> 00:31:26,483
You've finally overtaken me.
417
00:31:26,483 --> 00:31:27,784
That's absurd!
418
00:31:27,784 --> 00:31:30,719
Though we are both attendants,
419
00:31:30,719 --> 00:31:32,852
you have gained greater
favor with Lord Terumune,
420
00:31:32,852 --> 00:31:34,987
and Lord Tojiro relies on you.
421
00:31:34,987 --> 00:31:38,055
It displeased me once.
422
00:31:38,055 --> 00:31:41,926
But I'll concede with good grace.
423
00:31:42,660 --> 00:31:44,899
Let's work together
to help Lord Tojiro.
424
00:31:44,899 --> 00:31:49,042
Thank you.
It's better than a million allies.
425
00:31:50,702 --> 00:31:53,069
Please bring sake, Tsuta.
426
00:31:53,605 --> 00:31:58,640
We'll drink to cement
our family bonds.
427
00:32:06,918 --> 00:32:08,052
Sire!
428
00:32:09,888 --> 00:32:11,497
Sire, please control yourself!
429
00:32:11,497 --> 00:32:13,262
Let go!
430
00:32:20,832 --> 00:32:22,271
Turn around, Yoshi!
431
00:32:23,301 --> 00:32:25,506
Is this your doing?!
432
00:32:25,506 --> 00:32:26,844
What do you mean?
433
00:32:26,844 --> 00:32:28,076
Don't pretend!
434
00:32:29,107 --> 00:32:31,074
I except a good answer!
435
00:32:34,112 --> 00:32:35,681
A petition?
436
00:32:35,681 --> 00:32:39,786
Yes! They want Jikumaru for leader.
437
00:32:39,786 --> 00:32:42,592
They say few retainers follow Tojiro!
438
00:32:43,621 --> 00:32:47,224
Petitioners are Murata Munefuyu,
Watari Motomune, Shigemune,
439
00:32:47,224 --> 00:32:50,668
Kikubun Morishige,
even Rusu Masakage!
440
00:32:50,668 --> 00:32:52,605
130 names in all!
441
00:32:52,605 --> 00:32:54,267
This is treason!
442
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:56,641
Please wait!
443
00:32:56,641 --> 00:32:59,805
I knew the vassals were
unhappy about the promotions...
444
00:32:59,805 --> 00:33:02,611
and were leaning toward
support of Jikumaru.
445
00:33:02,611 --> 00:33:06,345
But I have never encouraged it!
446
00:33:06,345 --> 00:33:08,480
I tried to pacify them!
447
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:09,922
Why didn�t you tell me?
448
00:33:09,922 --> 00:33:12,983
A woman cannot be so forward!
449
00:33:12,983 --> 00:33:16,984
They depend on you,
Jikumaru's doting mother!
450
00:33:21,459 --> 00:33:23,460
Tell me what you think.
451
00:33:24,496 --> 00:33:25,505
What?
452
00:33:25,930 --> 00:33:27,805
As it states in this petition,
453
00:33:27,805 --> 00:33:30,810
Tojiro boasted of
becoming supreme leader,
454
00:33:30,810 --> 00:33:35,075
incurring the displeasure
of our battle-weary people.
455
00:33:35,607 --> 00:33:38,517
Moreover, Mego has never conceived.
456
00:33:40,044 --> 00:33:46,048
It is only natural for them to
pin their hopes on Jikumaru.
457
00:33:51,222 --> 00:33:54,461
Those who disobey you are traitors.
458
00:33:54,461 --> 00:33:56,993
You should execute them.
459
00:33:56,993 --> 00:33:58,938
Can you execute
a hundred and thirty?
460
00:33:58,938 --> 00:34:01,407
They will divide our clan.
461
00:34:02,433 --> 00:34:04,138
I can't kill my uncle.
462
00:34:05,670 --> 00:34:11,072
You are the lord of the Date, sire.
463
00:34:17,448 --> 00:34:19,015
What should I do, Motonobu?
464
00:34:24,756 --> 00:34:31,225
Does your family truly wish
to establish Lord Jikumaru?
465
00:34:32,597 --> 00:34:33,575
What?
466
00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:37,077
I think this merely expresses
their dissatisfaction...
467
00:34:37,077 --> 00:34:42,068
with the promotion of
newcomers over older vassals.
468
00:35:12,237 --> 00:35:13,244
Reporting!
469
00:35:14,572 --> 00:35:16,517
Tsunamoto?
What is it?
470
00:35:18,543 --> 00:35:20,919
A secret messenger came from Aizu.
471
00:35:20,919 --> 00:35:26,084
Lord Ashina Moritaka
was killed by a vassal.
472
00:35:27,118 --> 00:35:28,353
What?
473
00:35:30,688 --> 00:35:32,055
Moritaka...?
474
00:35:35,927 --> 00:35:36,961
Is that true?
475
00:35:37,495 --> 00:35:38,462
Yes.
476
00:35:44,836 --> 00:35:46,746
October 6...
477
00:35:46,746 --> 00:35:50,874
Moritaka of the Ashina,
most respected family in Oshu,
478
00:35:50,874 --> 00:35:55,875
was attacked from behind by
his favorite page.
479
00:36:03,588 --> 00:36:06,064
How sad to be killed
by your vassal.
480
00:36:06,491 --> 00:36:09,628
Not much different from Oda Nobunaga.
481
00:36:09,628 --> 00:36:11,469
It could happen to me.
482
00:36:13,498 --> 00:36:15,169
I'm sure you've heard...
483
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,006
there is unrest in Yonezawa.
484
00:36:20,104 --> 00:36:23,571
The old retainers openly
support Jikumaru...
485
00:36:23,571 --> 00:36:26,018
and plot to cut Tojiro off.
486
00:36:26,544 --> 00:36:28,404
A difficult situation.
487
00:36:30,315 --> 00:36:32,316
I have only myself to blame.
488
00:36:34,352 --> 00:36:40,587
I heard Jikumaru was to
be adopted by another family.
489
00:36:41,559 --> 00:36:46,026
My wife is against it,
so she supports the dissidents.
490
00:36:47,098 --> 00:36:48,298
Now I see.
491
00:36:52,303 --> 00:36:55,838
Is there a way to block the revolt...
492
00:36:56,874 --> 00:37:00,001
and preserve the peace
of the Date?
493
00:37:03,381 --> 00:37:05,359
Share with me your wisdom.
494
00:37:06,384 --> 00:37:08,555
I don't know the ways of samurai.
495
00:37:08,555 --> 00:37:12,723
It's not written in the sutras.
496
00:37:12,723 --> 00:37:16,099
You are Tojiro's teacher.
497
00:37:20,128 --> 00:37:25,295
Then you insist on making
Tojiro the leader?
498
00:37:27,238 --> 00:37:29,773
It is only right.
499
00:37:31,809 --> 00:37:35,076
When the sun rises,
the moon fades.
500
00:37:40,451 --> 00:37:41,618
That's one thing.
501
00:37:45,690 --> 00:37:49,657
By abandoning self
can one be saved.
502
00:37:51,429 --> 00:37:53,071
Abandoning self...?
503
00:37:54,298 --> 00:37:58,005
There you have it.
504
00:38:14,352 --> 00:38:15,391
Pardon!
505
00:38:17,121 --> 00:38:19,656
Lord Tojiro is here.
506
00:38:19,656 --> 00:38:20,633
With Mego?
507
00:38:20,633 --> 00:38:21,992
Yes, sire.
508
00:38:22,226 --> 00:38:22,794
Send them in.
509
00:38:22,794 --> 00:38:23,794
Yes.
510
00:38:30,802 --> 00:38:32,644
Come closer.
511
00:38:33,671 --> 00:38:35,038
Mego, too.
512
00:38:50,822 --> 00:38:52,793
I have summoned you...
513
00:38:53,524 --> 00:38:56,229
because I am retiring this day.
514
00:39:00,631 --> 00:39:04,801
I place this clan in your hands.
515
00:39:08,473 --> 00:39:10,006
Surely, you jest.
516
00:39:11,609 --> 00:39:13,280
I do not jest.
517
00:39:14,812 --> 00:39:16,483
I'll inform the people tomorrow.
518
00:39:16,483 --> 00:39:18,008
My father!
519
00:39:18,483 --> 00:39:22,322
You are too young to retire.
I am overwhelmed.
520
00:39:23,354 --> 00:39:25,029
I cannot understand at all.
521
00:39:25,256 --> 00:39:27,325
Don't you want to succeed me?
522
00:39:27,325 --> 00:39:31,768
It's too soon. The responsibility
is too great for me.
523
00:39:31,768 --> 00:39:33,005
Fool!
524
00:39:34,565 --> 00:39:37,634
How can you conquer the land
with that attitude?
525
00:39:37,634 --> 00:39:38,675
But...!
526
00:39:40,505 --> 00:39:45,472
Our retainers are divided
and relations are strained.
527
00:39:45,710 --> 00:39:50,211
I am not popular.
It will worsen the situation!
528
00:39:50,211 --> 00:39:50,961
That's not true.
529
00:39:53,651 --> 00:39:55,822
If I step down now,
530
00:39:56,854 --> 00:39:59,423
the move to support
Jikumaru will end,
531
00:39:59,423 --> 00:40:01,026
and they will follow you.
532
00:40:03,060 --> 00:40:05,936
I'm retiring...
533
00:40:07,965 --> 00:40:09,932
to unite the retainers again.
534
00:40:15,339 --> 00:40:20,316
When you take my place,
attack the Ashina at once!
535
00:40:22,513 --> 00:40:26,523
Kameomaru, the heir,
is only a month old.
536
00:40:27,151 --> 00:40:30,959
I've heard the retainers
are disorganized.
537
00:40:30,959 --> 00:40:32,666
A golden opportunity!
538
00:40:32,990 --> 00:40:37,557
Defeat the Ashina,
and you will have proven yourself.
539
00:40:49,907 --> 00:40:51,649
What do you say?
540
00:40:56,314 --> 00:40:58,781
Thank you, my lord!
541
00:40:59,817 --> 00:41:03,222
I will do my best for the Date...
542
00:41:03,454 --> 00:41:05,689
and my retainers and subjects!
543
00:41:21,572 --> 00:41:22,913
Mego...
544
00:41:22,913 --> 00:41:24,013
Yes.
545
00:41:25,242 --> 00:41:28,048
I'll move out of this castle.
546
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,516
I'll take Yoshi and
Jikumaru with me.
547
00:41:36,988 --> 00:41:40,091
From tomorrow,
Tojiro will be lord of the Date.
548
00:41:40,091 --> 00:41:47,133
Encourage him and
give him your support.
549
00:41:48,866 --> 00:41:50,833
I will, my lord.
550
00:42:03,381 --> 00:42:06,889
Look at my eye.
Is it shining?
551
00:42:06,889 --> 00:42:08,006
Yes.
552
00:42:08,352 --> 00:42:10,125
Like a leader of the Date?
553
00:42:10,125 --> 00:42:11,121
Yes.
554
00:42:15,259 --> 00:42:16,600
My lord...
555
00:42:19,730 --> 00:42:22,208
Can I ever bear you a child?
556
00:42:22,208 --> 00:42:23,506
Of course!
557
00:42:23,506 --> 00:42:25,444
Sometimes I dream.
558
00:42:25,444 --> 00:42:26,106
Dream?
559
00:42:26,106 --> 00:42:27,706
A frightening dream.
560
00:42:28,739 --> 00:42:31,080
I'm being chased from Yonezawa...
561
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,518
on the road back to Miharu.
562
00:42:33,518 --> 00:42:36,022
I cannot bear to face my parents.
563
00:42:36,022 --> 00:42:37,184
Absurd.
564
00:42:37,184 --> 00:42:38,851
After three years,
a woman is barren!
565
00:42:38,851 --> 00:42:39,827
Fear not!
566
00:42:40,851 --> 00:42:44,020
I'm eighteen;
you're sixteen.
567
00:42:44,455 --> 00:42:46,562
We can have all the
children we want!
568
00:42:47,291 --> 00:42:48,298
My lord...
569
00:42:50,127 --> 00:42:51,503
Listen, Mego...
570
00:42:52,530 --> 00:42:55,565
Someday I'll go to
Kyoto as supreme ruler.
571
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,371
I'll take you with me.
572
00:43:00,805 --> 00:43:03,783
Our son will not be heir to the Date.
573
00:43:03,783 --> 00:43:06,775
He'll be heir to all the land!
574
00:43:07,812 --> 00:43:09,619
Our second son will
go to the Tamura.
575
00:43:12,283 --> 00:43:15,093
I'll give the Tamura
Oshu and Ushu!
576
00:43:16,021 --> 00:43:21,190
He'll have Satake, Mogami,
and Ashina, too!
577
00:43:24,462 --> 00:43:27,167
I'm so glad.
578
00:43:27,167 --> 00:43:31,005
Don't ever leave me.
579
00:43:31,005 --> 00:43:32,709
Never!
580
00:43:41,242 --> 00:43:42,242
