<i>Masayuki takes a big gamble.</i>

27
00:02:51,772 --> 00:02:54,675
<i>While Takigawa Kazumasu</i>
<i>attempted to subjugate the Hojo,</i>

28
00:02:54,942 --> 00:02:57,645
<i>he was aiming to recapture</i>
<i>Numata and Iwabitsu castles.</i>

29
00:02:58,412 --> 00:03:02,216
<i>However, Kazumasu had</i>
<i>Tori held as hostage.</i>

30
00:03:03,050 --> 00:03:04,118
Attack!

31
00:03:06,987 --> 00:03:08,722
<i>On June 18th,</i>

32
00:03:09,657 --> 00:03:13,527
<i>Takigawa Kazumasu confronted</i>
<i>Hojo Ujinao at Kozuke.</i>

33
00:03:14,662 --> 00:03:18,732
<i>The Takigawa army lead until</i>
<i>the Battle of Kanna River,</i>

34
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:21,368
<i>where they collapsed before</i>
<i>the Hojo's colossal army.</i>

35
00:03:23,304 --> 00:03:24,138
Retreat!

38
00:03:42,556 --> 00:03:45,392
{\an8}Retired Lord, I have good news.

39
00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:50,831
I'll hear it tomorrow.

40
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:55,603
It is our great victory.

41
00:03:57,671 --> 00:04:04,678
Tell Ujinao to seize Kozuke
as soon as possible.

42
00:04:05,913 --> 00:04:06,847
Very well.

43
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:10,084
Don't disturb me for
the rest of the night.

44
00:04:11,118 --> 00:04:11,952
Understood.

00:04:34,008 --> 00:04:38,278
{\an8}SHINANO - SANADA MANSION

46
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:46,787
Lord, Sir Takigawa will
certainly lose the battle.

47
00:04:46,854 --> 00:04:50,991
{\an8}Even Takigawa couldn't hold out.

48
00:04:51,258 --> 00:04:54,762
He retreated to Minowa Castle.

49
00:04:55,562 --> 00:04:57,164
I've been waiting for this.

50
00:05:00,534 --> 00:05:04,438
We're recapturing Numata and
Iwabitsu castles from Takigawa.

51
00:05:04,838 --> 00:05:06,807
Let us rescue Grandmother immediately.

52
00:05:06,974 --> 00:05:08,242
Off to battle!

53
00:05:09,109 --> 00:05:09,943
Yes, sir!

54
00:05:11,078 --> 00:05:11,912
{\an8}KOZUKE - NUMATA CASTLE

55
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:14,648
{\an8}<i>Masayuki directed his army</i>
<i>to Numata first,</i>

56
00:05:14,715 --> 00:05:16,984
{\an8}<i>where his mother, Tori, was held hostage,</i>

57
00:05:17,051 --> 00:05:19,353
{\an8}<i>and swiftly recaptured Numata Castle.</i>

58
00:05:31,265 --> 00:05:32,099
Father!

59
00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:33,767
Father!

60
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:36,537
I searched everywhere but can't find her.

61
00:05:36,603 --> 00:05:38,572
Where is Grandmother?!

62
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:41,575
It appears Kazumasu took her with him.

63
00:05:42,109 --> 00:05:43,977
He's cautious as ever.

64
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:47,614
This is a bad situation.

65
00:05:49,983 --> 00:05:53,520
Uncle, can I leave this
castle in your hands?

66
00:05:53,787 --> 00:05:54,955
Of course.

67
00:05:55,322 --> 00:05:58,525
Genzaburo, seize Iwabitsu immediately.

68
00:05:59,326 --> 00:06:00,194
Very well.

69
00:06:00,494 --> 00:06:04,398
I'm going to Minowa.
Most likely, Grandmother is there.

70
00:06:04,465 --> 00:06:06,100
You're going to where
Sir Takigawa resides?

71
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:07,868
It'll be dangerous in Minowa.

72
00:06:08,135 --> 00:06:12,539
What if he knows that we
recaptured Numata and Iwabitsu?

73
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:14,675
He's in the middle of a losing battle.

74
00:06:15,142 --> 00:06:16,343
His hands are tied now.

75
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:19,413
Genjiro, accompany me.

76
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:21,215
Certainly!

77
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:31,525
{\an8}KOZUKE - MINOWA CASTLE

78
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,068
It's quiet, isn't it?

79
00:06:44,304 --> 00:06:45,572
I wonder if they're aware.

80
00:06:50,878 --> 00:06:51,712
Sir Takigawa.

81
00:06:53,881 --> 00:06:55,282
I'm glad you came.

82
00:06:55,349 --> 00:06:58,285
I deeply regret missing the battle.

83
00:06:58,652 --> 00:07:02,222
Let us regroup at once and fight the Hojo.

84
00:07:03,023 --> 00:07:06,393
The Sanada army will return the blow.

85
00:07:07,961 --> 00:07:10,998
The outcome is known.

86
00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:12,199
What are you saying?

87
00:07:12,499 --> 00:07:14,568
I am returning to Ise for the time being.

88
00:07:15,102 --> 00:07:15,936
Ise?

89
00:07:16,303 --> 00:07:18,205
I'll be leaving tomorrow morning.

90
00:07:18,572 --> 00:07:19,640
I will accompany you.

91
00:07:20,641 --> 00:07:22,075
I appreciate the thought, but

92
00:07:22,242 --> 00:07:24,645
you have your own problems to deal with.

93
00:07:24,711 --> 00:07:25,813
But...

94
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:27,181
Don't go out of your way.

95
00:07:33,187 --> 00:07:34,488
I am mortified.

96
00:07:35,389 --> 00:07:36,790
This will be our last night.

97
00:07:37,558 --> 00:07:39,927
Do you have time to drink sake with me?

98
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:42,863
Of course.

99
00:07:44,431 --> 00:07:46,066
I'll have it brought at once.

100
00:07:48,302 --> 00:07:52,306
By the way, your mother is doing well.

101
00:07:52,506 --> 00:07:53,440
Rest assured.

102
00:07:54,174 --> 00:07:55,008
I appreciate it.

103
00:07:56,877 --> 00:08:01,048
However, I'll hold on to her
for a while longer.

104
00:08:03,183 --> 00:08:06,987
I have to ensure the safety
of my soldiers to Ise.

105
00:08:07,855 --> 00:08:09,089
Yes, of course.

106
00:08:09,456 --> 00:08:11,792
I'll return her after we
pass through Shinano.

107
00:08:28,242 --> 00:08:29,076
They're gone.

108
00:08:29,643 --> 00:08:32,880
He doesn't yet know about
Numata and Iwabitsu.

109
00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:34,414
But he'll know soon enough.

110
00:08:35,482 --> 00:08:37,784
Let's retrieve Grandmother
before he finds out.

111
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:40,687
She should be somewhere
in this castle. Verify it.

112
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:46,793
What's going to happen to us?

113
00:08:48,262 --> 00:08:50,163
They brought us to this place.

114
00:08:50,831 --> 00:08:52,399
I have no idea what lies ahead.

115
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:56,503
That's how it is for hostages.

116
00:08:59,806 --> 00:09:00,707
I want to go home.

117
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:05,913
I am thirsty.

118
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,714
What?

119
00:09:08,582 --> 00:09:09,416
Huh?

120
00:09:09,883 --> 00:09:11,919
I am thirsty!

121
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,522
Bear it. You're a hostage.

122
00:09:21,395 --> 00:09:22,796
I'll ask.

123
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,717
-What is it?
-Thirsty.

124
00:09:44,518 --> 00:09:45,352
Bear it.

125
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:47,187
It's not for me.

126
00:09:49,289 --> 00:09:50,223
For the old woman?

127
00:09:50,524 --> 00:09:52,492
If you tell me where the
well is, I'll get it.

128
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,860
Don't go off on your own.

129
00:09:54,661 --> 00:09:55,495
In that case...

130
00:09:59,099 --> 00:09:59,967
Please get it.

131
00:10:02,169 --> 00:10:03,003
I can't.

132
00:10:03,537 --> 00:10:05,339
Do you think we'll run away?

133
00:10:05,672 --> 00:10:07,674
Where can women flee?

134
00:10:32,099 --> 00:10:33,367
Oh my!

135
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:39,406
It's been a while.

136
00:10:39,873 --> 00:10:41,608
You came to rescue us!

137
00:10:43,477 --> 00:10:45,012
-Stop that.
-Let's hurry.

138
00:10:45,245 --> 00:10:46,713
Where is my grandmother?

139
00:10:47,247 --> 00:10:49,483
-I don't know.
-How can you not know?

140
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:53,954
Grandmother.

141
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:56,656
Genjiro! I knew you'd come!

142
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:58,225
I am glad you are well.

143
00:10:58,558 --> 00:11:01,828
They've been dragging us all around.

144
00:11:02,229 --> 00:11:03,730
Where are we anyway?

145
00:11:03,797 --> 00:11:04,831
In Minowa Castle.

146
00:11:05,332 --> 00:11:06,867
I am exhausted already.

147
00:11:06,933 --> 00:11:09,603
Genjiro, she's such a pain.

148
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:11,471
Oh, I'm sorry.

149
00:11:11,638 --> 00:11:13,774
What's going to happen now?

150
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,909
Sir Kazumasu will be heading to Ise.

151
00:11:15,976 --> 00:11:19,212
Ise? Why do we have to go to such a place?

152
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,415
I don't want to go.

153
00:11:21,948 --> 00:11:25,652
Not to worry. We will
rescue you before then.

154
00:11:25,719 --> 00:11:28,321
-Please hang in there for a while longer.
-Please do!

155
00:11:28,388 --> 00:11:29,489
I'll be waiting!

156
00:11:33,326 --> 00:11:37,431
Sanada, there is something
I have to tell you.

157
00:11:39,066 --> 00:11:42,269
It's in regards to Iwabitsu
and Numata castles.

158
00:11:47,107 --> 00:11:49,576
I'm thinking of returning
them both to you.

159
00:11:49,876 --> 00:11:50,710
What?

160
00:11:50,777 --> 00:11:52,245
Don't look so surprised.

161
00:11:52,479 --> 00:11:54,047
Will you really?

162
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:58,752
With His Excellency gone, it is
crucial to rebuild the Oda.

163
00:11:59,486 --> 00:12:03,023
I'm returning Kozuke and
Shinano to the local lords.

164
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:06,126
Oh... I see.

165
00:12:07,994 --> 00:12:08,829
Is that a problem?

166
00:12:09,029 --> 00:12:09,863
Not at all.

167
00:12:10,497 --> 00:12:11,898
I am grateful for that.

168
00:12:13,033 --> 00:12:19,039
You can decide for yourselves
which daimyo you want to go to.

169
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,374
Understood.

170
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:36,923
Have a drink.

171
00:12:42,129 --> 00:12:43,964
Kozuke, Shinano...

172
00:12:45,265 --> 00:12:48,702
are bountiful provinces.

173
00:12:50,036 --> 00:12:53,340
This is why we are targeted
from all four directions.

174
00:12:54,641 --> 00:12:56,376
The struggles will continue.

175
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,513
I am prepared for it.

176
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:07,387
With His Excellency dead,
I know it'll be difficult, but...

177
00:13:08,922 --> 00:13:11,525
when I am successful
in rebuilding the Oda,

178
00:13:12,492 --> 00:13:14,161
I will definitely come back.

179
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:18,231
I will be waiting.

180
00:13:18,765 --> 00:13:22,702
At that time, let's admire
the deep green mountains

181
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:25,572
over some drinks.

182
00:13:27,607 --> 00:13:28,608
Gladly.

183
00:13:46,059 --> 00:13:48,261
I don't know what to say.

184
00:13:50,063 --> 00:13:51,031
What is the matter?

185
00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:55,869
Kazumasu offered to return
Iwabitsu and Numata.

186
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,872
I should've waited a bit.

187
00:13:59,072 --> 00:14:01,708
Then Grandmother is safe.

188
00:14:02,042 --> 00:14:03,009
That will change.

189
00:14:03,410 --> 00:14:05,579
If he finds out I've been lying,

190
00:14:05,779 --> 00:14:10,784
Kazumasu will explode with anger.

191
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:11,952
That is true.

192
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,421
How's Grandmother?

193
00:14:14,821 --> 00:14:16,456
She was full of energy as usual.

194
00:14:16,823 --> 00:14:18,558
I'm heading back to Sanada.

195
00:14:19,659 --> 00:14:21,061
I'll leave the rest to you.

196
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:26,766
Kazumasu is leaving tomorrow
morning for Ise via Shinano.

197
00:14:27,434 --> 00:14:30,337
Komoro Castle, located en route,
is defended by his vassal.

198
00:14:30,704 --> 00:14:33,873
He will spend a night there tomorrow.

199
00:14:34,207 --> 00:14:36,509
Is that when we take back the hostage?

200
00:14:37,711 --> 00:14:38,778
Can you do it, Genjiro?

201
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:40,513
I will do it!

202
00:14:42,148 --> 00:14:43,383
Is that true?

203
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:49,155
Numata and Iwabitsu castles
have been seized by Sanada.

204
00:14:49,723 --> 00:14:50,824
I find that hard to believe.

205
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,593
{\an8}While we were fighting
the Hojo at Kanna River,

206
00:14:53,927 --> 00:14:58,231
{\an8}Sanada's army was watching the
situation from their homeland.

207
00:14:59,432 --> 00:15:01,101
What a big liar!

208
00:15:01,167 --> 00:15:02,836
We've been tricked.

209
00:15:04,938 --> 00:15:05,839
Damn!

210
00:15:07,974 --> 00:15:10,677
<i>Takigawa Kazumasu left</i>
<i>Minowa Castle the next day</i>

211
00:15:10,744 --> 00:15:12,345
<i>and headed for Shinano.</i>

212
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:16,383
<i>They entered Komoro Castle in the</i>
<i>evening as Masayuki surmised.</i>

213
00:15:17,284 --> 00:15:20,687
{\an8}SHINANO - KOMORO CASTLE

214
00:15:20,754 --> 00:15:23,456
{\an8}Do you have a plan to retrieve
Lady Tori without being caught?

215
00:15:23,523 --> 00:15:25,558
It's best not to sneak around.

216
00:15:25,659 --> 00:15:26,493
Understood.

217
00:15:26,626 --> 00:15:29,963
There are soldiers from the
armies of Takigawa Kazumasu

218
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:31,698
and Komoro Castle here tonight.

219
00:15:31,965 --> 00:15:33,433
We'll take advantage of that.

220
00:15:36,169 --> 00:15:37,137
We'll assist!

221
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:53,053
You must be vassals to Lord
Douke Masahide of Komoro.

222
00:15:53,987 --> 00:15:56,823
We are ordered by our Lord,
Takigawa Kazumasu,

223
00:15:56,923 --> 00:15:59,059
to check on the hostages.

224
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:00,293
Which room are they in?

225
00:16:00,860 --> 00:16:02,696
In the west annex.

226
00:16:02,762 --> 00:16:04,230
Thank you.

227
00:16:04,731 --> 00:16:07,867
There are rice balls in the kitchen.

228
00:16:07,934 --> 00:16:09,602
Have some to eat.

229
00:16:09,669 --> 00:16:10,503
Thank you.

230
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:16,543
How did you know he
was a Komoro vassal?

231
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:18,211
His feet weren't dirty.

232
00:16:18,511 --> 00:16:22,182
Kazumasu's soldiers were fighting
to the brink of annihilation,

233
00:16:22,382 --> 00:16:24,951
so they didn't have the luxury
of time to wash their feet.

234
00:16:34,928 --> 00:16:38,932
We are vassals to Douke Masahide,
the lord of this castle.

235
00:16:39,299 --> 00:16:42,769
Takigawa vassal, good job
guarding the hostage.

236
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:43,837
Thank you.

237
00:16:43,970 --> 00:16:45,939
You must be tired from
the long journey.

238
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:47,774
We will take over for a while.

239
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:50,844
-I can't let you do that.
-Please leave it to us.

240
00:16:50,910 --> 00:16:54,981
We heard you're going to Ise.
You should get some rest.

241
00:16:55,849 --> 00:16:59,085
Actually, I wanted to use the
bathroom and was in a bind.

242
00:16:59,152 --> 00:17:02,055
There are rice balls in the kitchen.

243
00:17:02,555 --> 00:17:03,823
Why, thank you!

244
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,902
-What took you so long?
-Please hurry.

245
00:17:15,969 --> 00:17:17,971
Genjiro, thank you for coming.

246
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:19,339
Please go on my back.

247
00:17:36,189 --> 00:17:37,023
Please go on my back.

248
00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:38,725
I can walk!

249
00:17:46,666 --> 00:17:48,201
Wait! I forgot something!

250
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:49,702
Hurry!

251
00:17:49,903 --> 00:17:51,871
Grandmother, I'll put you down for now.

252
00:17:52,338 --> 00:17:53,606
Watch my grandmother.

253
00:17:55,975 --> 00:17:57,043
Please go on my back.

254
00:18:03,516 --> 00:18:05,685
What are you doing? Hurry!

255
00:18:05,952 --> 00:18:07,387
I forgot something important.

256
00:18:07,454 --> 00:18:09,823
Don't forget it if it's important.

257
00:18:11,024 --> 00:18:11,858
Found it!

258
00:18:15,028 --> 00:18:15,862
Let's hurry.

259
00:18:20,033 --> 00:18:20,867
Kiri!

260
00:18:28,007 --> 00:18:29,008
Thank you.

261
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:32,645
She wants to use the bathroom.

262
00:18:32,979 --> 00:18:34,347
I'm sorry. I really need to go.

263
00:18:38,251 --> 00:18:40,153
I was looking for you!

264
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:42,455
Are you talking to me?

265
00:18:43,323 --> 00:18:45,792
I told you the hostage
was in the west annex,

266
00:18:45,859 --> 00:18:48,294
but only the Sanada family is there.

267
00:18:48,495 --> 00:18:50,497
The other hostages are
in the main wing.

268
00:18:50,597 --> 00:18:51,931
Thank you for letting me know.

269
00:18:53,032 --> 00:18:55,602
The Takigawa vassals have it rough.

270
00:18:57,303 --> 00:19:00,106
Yes, but that's how it is.

271
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:01,975
Right?

272
00:19:02,041 --> 00:19:02,942
Yes.

273
00:19:03,076 --> 00:19:04,477
You'll have to endure it now.

274
00:19:04,777 --> 00:19:09,082
When you return to Ise, restore
your energy and come back.

275
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:10,316
Let's do that.

276
00:19:10,783 --> 00:19:11,618
Hurry.

277
00:19:11,684 --> 00:19:15,688
I am very grateful to the Komoro vassals.

278
00:19:18,525 --> 00:19:19,359
You heard him.

279
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:23,062
I will never forget your warm hospitality.

280
00:19:24,764 --> 00:19:26,165
He said he won't forget it.

281
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:27,433
Please hurry.

282
00:19:30,570 --> 00:19:31,938
What are you doing there?

283
00:19:34,974 --> 00:19:39,312
Sir Nagasaki, I was thanking
the men of this castle.

284
00:19:39,746 --> 00:19:40,580
Men?

285
00:19:43,850 --> 00:19:46,185
Aren't you a Takigawa vassal?

286
00:19:46,252 --> 00:19:47,287
Well... you see...

287
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:50,156
No. He's a Douke vassal.

288
00:19:52,959 --> 00:19:54,027
Who are you?

289
00:19:55,728 --> 00:19:59,332
Aren't you Masayuki's son?

290
00:20:02,735 --> 00:20:03,937
Is this it?

291
00:20:06,272 --> 00:20:07,540
Intruder!

292
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:27,060
Your attempt to take back the hostages

293
00:20:27,493 --> 00:20:30,530
must mean that you've become our enemy.

294
00:20:30,697 --> 00:20:32,532
That is not the case.

295
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:36,336
Your father lied to me.

296
00:20:37,003 --> 00:20:40,173
Then he tries to sneak out the hostage.

297
00:20:40,907 --> 00:20:42,909
I can't trust him at all.

298
00:20:45,345 --> 00:20:48,681
As Sanada Masayuki's son,
you should prove useful.

299
00:20:51,651 --> 00:20:54,420
You're coming to Ise with us.

300
00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:03,663
What a situation.

301
00:21:04,664 --> 00:21:07,800
The number of hostages increased by two.

302
00:21:08,368 --> 00:21:09,902
What did you come for?

303
00:21:11,671 --> 00:21:12,905
On the contrary...

304
00:21:13,906 --> 00:21:17,176
If you hadn't forgotten something,
we might've fled successfully.

305
00:21:17,243 --> 00:21:18,745
We would've been caught.

306
00:21:20,013 --> 00:21:20,980
What an awful woman.

307
00:21:21,047 --> 00:21:21,914
Ignore her.

308
00:21:22,982 --> 00:21:26,653
It's his fault that Matsu died.

309
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:28,388
We'll be next.

310
00:21:28,454 --> 00:21:29,889
That's enough already.

311
00:21:33,393 --> 00:21:38,331
I'm sorry but I'm the type
that speaks my mind.

312
00:21:57,417 --> 00:21:59,352
Please excuse me.

313
00:22:01,988 --> 00:22:03,489
May I come in?

314
00:22:04,991 --> 00:22:07,360
You're already in.

315
00:22:07,427 --> 00:22:11,998
{\an8}It's depressing to eat alone.

316
00:22:12,065 --> 00:22:13,199
{\an8}KO

317
00:22:13,766 --> 00:22:15,868
Shouldn't you be in bed?

318
00:22:16,602 --> 00:22:20,606
I can't eat lying down.

319
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,587
I dislike battles.

320
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:38,324
Everyone's scattered after
we returned to our homeland.

321
00:22:49,969 --> 00:22:51,771
I am done eating.

322
00:23:02,749 --> 00:23:04,250
She's making me depressed.

323
00:23:06,953 --> 00:23:07,954
Good morning!

324
00:23:08,020 --> 00:23:09,589
Why are you dressed like that?

325
00:23:09,956 --> 00:23:11,324
Under Lord's order,

326
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:15,862
I, Hotta Sakubei, will be guarding
this mansion until further notice.

327
00:23:16,696 --> 00:23:19,198
In case the Hojo invades.

328
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,902
Ume, come!

329
00:23:24,670 --> 00:23:26,506
My Lady, good morning.

330
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:27,406
What is that?

331
00:23:27,707 --> 00:23:31,210
My brother wants me to pass
these out to the guards.

332
00:23:31,711 --> 00:23:33,713
They need their strength.

333
00:23:35,081 --> 00:23:36,082
Follow me!

334
00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:37,016
Excuse me!

335
00:23:42,889 --> 00:23:43,823
What's going on?

336
00:23:44,290 --> 00:23:47,593
Takigawa Kazumasu hasn't
left Komoro Castle.

337
00:23:48,694 --> 00:23:49,829
What happened?

338
00:23:53,199 --> 00:23:54,133
Is it Kiso Yoshimasa?

339
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:55,401
Most likely.

340
00:23:56,402 --> 00:23:58,938
You have to pass through
Kiso to leave Shinano.

341
00:23:59,705 --> 00:24:02,575
His negotiations with Yoshimasa
must not be going favorably.

342
00:24:02,642 --> 00:24:05,378
That bastard. What is he after?

343
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:12,385
{\an8}<i>Kiso Yoshimasa is an influential</i>
<i>lord that controls west Shinano.</i>

344
00:24:13,586 --> 00:24:16,389
<i>Despite being Takeda Shingen's son-in-law,</i>

345
00:24:16,522 --> 00:24:18,457
<i>he was first to betray the Takeda.</i>

346
00:24:18,825 --> 00:24:22,228
<i>He gave Oda Nobunaga the</i>
<i>opportunity to invade Shinano.</i>

347
00:24:22,762 --> 00:24:25,965
As I keep saying,

348
00:24:26,365 --> 00:24:31,070
I owe my current position
to Lord Takeda Shingen.

349
00:24:32,171 --> 00:24:34,540
Nobunaga, who crushed the Takeda,

350
00:24:34,941 --> 00:24:36,742
is my family's enemy!

351
00:24:37,476 --> 00:24:43,216
Why should I help the Oda refugees
who were defeated by the Hojo?

352
00:24:44,550 --> 00:24:47,553
I won't let them set foot in Kiso!

353
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:49,322
I don't get it.

354
00:24:49,689 --> 00:24:52,892
Yoshimasa betrayed the Takeda
and sided with the Oda.

355
00:24:53,626 --> 00:24:55,161
Why would he say that now?

356
00:24:55,394 --> 00:24:58,497
He must have an ulterior motive.

357
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:00,933
In any event, it puts me in a bind.

358
00:25:02,001 --> 00:25:03,736
I need a plan.

359
00:25:06,072 --> 00:25:08,641
<i>Takigawa Kazumasu was pressed for time.</i>

360
00:25:09,475 --> 00:25:12,879
<i>The Kiyosu conference was</i>
<i>coming up at which Oda vassals</i>

361
00:25:13,112 --> 00:25:15,982
<i>would gather to select</i>
<i>Nobunaga's successor.</i>

362
00:25:17,383 --> 00:25:20,686
<i>Kazumasu headed to</i>
<i>Fukushima Castle in Kiso</i>

363
00:25:20,987 --> 00:25:23,089
<i>to have a direct talk with Kiso Yoshimasa.</i>

364
00:25:46,612 --> 00:25:49,315
I apologize for my blunder.

365
00:25:50,650 --> 00:25:53,085
I am a woman in a warring era.

366
00:25:54,053 --> 00:25:57,123
I have been prepared from
the time I became a hostage.

367
00:26:01,661 --> 00:26:04,397
We live in an era where
things are out of control.

368
00:26:06,365 --> 00:26:11,404
What's important is how you
behave when things go wrong.

369
00:26:12,505 --> 00:26:15,741
Genjiro, do not give up.

370
00:26:17,109 --> 00:26:17,944
I won't.

371
00:26:18,644 --> 00:26:22,882
The path will open up for those
who do not give up hope.

372
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:26,852
Trust my words.

373
00:26:29,288 --> 00:26:33,926
Where are we?

374
00:26:34,060 --> 00:26:35,528
We'll be entering Kiso soon.

375
00:26:36,462 --> 00:26:37,296
Kiso?

376
00:26:37,997 --> 00:26:41,567
When Kiso Yoshimasa
betrayed the Takeda,

377
00:26:41,634 --> 00:26:43,736
Lord Katsuyori ordered
his hostages to be killed.

378
00:26:43,803 --> 00:26:45,237
Is that what happened?

379
00:26:45,304 --> 00:26:47,873
I wouldn't be surprised if
he hated the Takeda vassals.

380
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:50,076
Of course he does!

381
00:26:50,276 --> 00:26:51,844
Then we are in danger.

382
00:26:52,178 --> 00:26:56,248
-Let us flee from here.
-If we escape unarmed, we won't survive.

383
00:26:56,315 --> 00:26:57,550
What do we do?

384
00:26:57,616 --> 00:26:59,185
Calm down.

385
00:26:59,852 --> 00:27:01,153
It will work itself out.

386
00:27:01,220 --> 00:27:02,455
No, it won't.

387
00:27:02,521 --> 00:27:03,522
Yes, it will.

388
00:27:04,924 --> 00:27:06,525
Just don't abandon hope.

389
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:15,634
What do you say?

390
00:27:16,168 --> 00:27:20,773
If you will allow us to safely
pass through Kiso,

391
00:27:21,207 --> 00:27:26,545
we will give you all the
hostages we have with us.

392
00:27:27,813 --> 00:27:31,484
We have family members
of a lord in Shinano.

393
00:27:31,684 --> 00:27:32,785
Oh, really?

394
00:27:33,285 --> 00:27:39,558
Among them is Genjiro, Lord
Sanada Masayuki's second son.

395
00:27:39,925 --> 00:27:41,193
Oh, really?

396
00:27:42,595 --> 00:27:44,130
What do you say to it?

397
00:27:46,399 --> 00:27:48,100
I will agree to that.

398
00:27:50,369 --> 00:27:53,172
He was after the hostages after all.

399
00:27:53,272 --> 00:27:54,106
Right.

400
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,443
It is a shame to give up the hostages,

401
00:27:57,877 --> 00:27:59,345
but we have no choice.

402
00:27:59,545 --> 00:28:02,815
We can finally pass Shinano.

403
00:28:04,383 --> 00:28:06,485
{\an8}KISO - FUKUSHIMA CASTLE

404
00:28:06,552 --> 00:28:10,089
{\an8}<i>On June 28th, Takigawa Kazumasu</i>
<i>handed the hostages</i>

405
00:28:10,556 --> 00:28:12,458
<i>to Kiso Yoshimasa.</i>

406
00:28:16,495 --> 00:28:21,634
<i>But Takigawa Kazumasu did not</i>
<i>make it for the Kiyosu conference.</i>

407
00:28:22,802 --> 00:28:25,404
<i>This man, a prominent</i>
<i>general in the Oda clan,</i>

408
00:28:25,805 --> 00:28:28,741
<i>would lose his power under</i>
<i>Hashiba Hideyoshi's rule,</i>

409
00:28:29,275 --> 00:28:32,945
<i>and would never return to Shinshu again.</i>

410
00:28:41,454 --> 00:28:43,389
I am Kiso Yoshimasa!

411
00:28:44,957 --> 00:28:51,864
Takigawa Kazumasu has
placed you in my custody.

412
00:28:52,865 --> 00:28:57,169
Please trust that I won't mistreat you.

413
00:28:58,070 --> 00:29:03,642
I plan to become a daimyo lord
that rules over Shinano.

414
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:09,582
You are my precious tools
to help me achieve that.

415
00:29:19,492 --> 00:29:20,793
That is all I have to say.

416
00:29:32,905 --> 00:29:34,974
We are being passed around.

417
00:29:35,608 --> 00:29:36,909
From Takigawa to Kiso.

418
00:29:37,009 --> 00:29:39,712
Is this good or bad for us?

419
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:41,247
I wouldn't say it's good.

420
00:29:41,914 --> 00:29:45,384
Kiso Yoshimasa has greater
power than Sanada in Shinano.

421
00:29:45,751 --> 00:29:47,620
He won't release the hostages.

422
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,155
Don't sound indifferent.

423
00:29:49,221 --> 00:29:52,458
I'm thinking of an escape plan.

424
00:29:52,658 --> 00:29:54,160
You must be joking.

425
00:29:55,461 --> 00:29:59,865
I have no worth as a hostage,
so shouldn't they let me go?

426
00:29:59,932 --> 00:30:00,966
That won't happen.

427
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:02,768
Please ask Lord Kiso.

428
00:30:02,835 --> 00:30:03,669
Enough!

429
00:30:13,045 --> 00:30:14,613
I want to go back to Sanada.

430
00:30:47,346 --> 00:30:48,747
Lord Kiso Yoshimasa is here.

431
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:54,853
Sotaro, it's been a long time.

432
00:30:55,387 --> 00:30:56,222
Yes!

433
00:31:02,628 --> 00:31:06,732
Lady Tori, you haven't changed a bit.

434
00:31:07,099 --> 00:31:10,636
Your loud tone hasn't
changed at all either.

435
00:31:11,103 --> 00:31:14,940
I didn't expect us to meet
again in this situation.

436
00:31:15,307 --> 00:31:16,976
How do you know each other?

437
00:31:17,710 --> 00:31:21,647
I know Sotaro very well
from when he was a child.

438
00:31:22,681 --> 00:31:27,119
He peed in his pants
in front of Lord Shingen.

439
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:30,055
Don't bring that up.

440
00:31:30,689 --> 00:31:33,993
I was scared and tense that time.

441
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:37,396
Sotaro.

442
00:31:38,864 --> 00:31:39,698
Yes.

443
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:41,634
Ouch!

444
00:31:41,834 --> 00:31:43,235
What was that for?

445
00:31:43,369 --> 00:31:45,938
How dare you betray the
Takeda, your benefactor!?

446
00:31:46,772 --> 00:31:48,207
I had no choice.

447
00:31:48,274 --> 00:31:49,341
What do you mean?

448
00:31:50,042 --> 00:31:51,877
Oda Nobunaga threatened me.

449
00:31:52,311 --> 00:31:55,981
I had no other option, if I
wanted to protect Kiso.

450
00:31:56,649 --> 00:31:57,516
Please understand!

451
00:31:58,884 --> 00:31:59,852
Raise your head.

452
00:32:00,853 --> 00:32:02,688
You're scary as usual.

453
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:08,193
Sotaro, return the hostages.

454
00:32:09,728 --> 00:32:12,731
After I went through the
trouble to get them?

455
00:32:12,865 --> 00:32:15,067
Don't exaggerate.

456
00:32:15,534 --> 00:32:22,074
Hostages are necessary for
survival for weak lords like me.

457
00:32:23,242 --> 00:32:24,276
Please understand.

458
00:32:25,577 --> 00:32:30,149
Will you at least release Genjiro?

459
00:32:30,215 --> 00:32:31,917
-Grandmother!
-Quiet!

460
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:36,488
I will stay here.

461
00:32:36,722 --> 00:32:38,891
-Please wait!
-How does that sound?

462
00:32:39,358 --> 00:32:40,559
I will agree to that.

463
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:45,597
However, do not use the
hostages as bargaining chips

464
00:32:46,065 --> 00:32:49,301
and send them elsewhere.

465
00:32:50,302 --> 00:32:51,136
All right.

466
00:32:51,737 --> 00:32:54,373
Sotaro, I believe in you.

467
00:32:55,941 --> 00:32:57,276
On my honor as a samurai!

468
00:32:58,477 --> 00:33:00,179
It's been settled.

469
00:33:00,679 --> 00:33:04,249
I came to rescue you.

470
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:06,251
I can't leave without you.

471
00:33:06,318 --> 00:33:09,988
That was when I was held
captive by the Takigawa.

472
00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:15,294
I'm sure Sotaro will take
good care of me.

473
00:33:15,627 --> 00:33:16,628
You will, won't you?

474
00:33:16,762 --> 00:33:17,596
Yes, of course.

475
00:33:17,696 --> 00:33:18,797
But...

476
00:33:19,565 --> 00:33:23,402
Do it for your grandmother.

477
00:33:29,608 --> 00:33:32,211
Excuse me. What about me?

478
00:33:32,411 --> 00:33:33,579
Oh, another thing.

479
00:33:34,146 --> 00:33:37,483
She's noisy and annoying.

480
00:33:38,083 --> 00:33:40,486
I'll have Genjiro take her back.

481
00:33:42,855 --> 00:33:43,856
As you wish.

482
00:33:45,657 --> 00:33:47,693
We're in agreement then.

483
00:33:49,094 --> 00:33:51,597
Thank goodness I'm annoying.

484
00:34:12,317 --> 00:34:14,887
Muroga has sided with the Hojo.

485
00:34:16,822 --> 00:34:21,693
The other lords will now turn to the Hojo.

486
00:34:22,494 --> 00:34:26,331
Will you temporarily go to the Hojo?
I want inside information.

487
00:34:26,799 --> 00:34:27,633
What about you?

488
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,468
I'm not siding with the Hojo.

489
00:34:30,169 --> 00:34:31,103
Then...?

490
00:34:51,123 --> 00:34:54,626
I have a great idea! Let's go
to the Bessho hot spring.

491
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,594
Huh?

492
00:34:55,661 --> 00:35:00,265
Sir Genjiro, we deserve to relax
at the hot springs for a day.

493
00:35:00,332 --> 00:35:02,968
Don't be absurd.
War is about to break out.

494
00:35:03,302 --> 00:35:05,671
It's important to refresh your mind.

495
00:35:05,737 --> 00:35:07,639
-Go with her.
-Me?

496
00:35:07,806 --> 00:35:08,774
Wait a minute!

497
00:35:08,907 --> 00:35:09,741
Shall we go?

498
00:35:10,709 --> 00:35:11,543
Huh?

499
00:35:19,418 --> 00:35:21,053
What a beautiful moon.

500
00:35:22,154 --> 00:35:25,190
I was useless.

501
00:35:27,526 --> 00:35:29,795
What's important is your
desire to rescue her.

502
00:35:33,999 --> 00:35:36,735
Erase that look of abandonment.

503
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:39,338
Stop reading into my mind.

504
00:35:39,404 --> 00:35:40,239
Was I right?

505
00:35:40,939 --> 00:35:43,041
Will you leave me alone?

506
00:35:43,108 --> 00:35:45,744
There's a brooding young man.

507
00:35:46,111 --> 00:35:47,513
You're really despicable.

508
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:49,314
Well, excuse me.

509
00:35:57,256 --> 00:35:59,358
Thank you for coming to rescue me.

510
00:35:59,491 --> 00:36:00,859
I came for Grandmother.

511
00:36:00,926 --> 00:36:02,928
-That isn't the only reason.
-Yes, it is.

512
00:36:03,662 --> 00:36:08,133
I thanked you, which isn't like
me, so just honestly accept it.

513
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,434
Go away.

514
00:36:09,501 --> 00:36:10,335
No!

515
00:36:13,739 --> 00:36:17,175
{\an8}SHINANO - SANADA FIEF

516
00:36:23,282 --> 00:36:25,250
It's a critical time for the Sanada,

517
00:36:26,285 --> 00:36:28,353
but I keep holding us back.

518
00:36:29,388 --> 00:36:32,724
I should be useful.

519
00:36:33,759 --> 00:36:35,027
I'm pathetic.

520
00:36:36,495 --> 00:36:37,796
That's not like you.

521
00:36:38,397 --> 00:36:39,565
This is how I am.

522
00:36:47,072 --> 00:36:47,906
Genjiro.

523
00:36:49,107 --> 00:36:52,010
I would like to say something
considerate to you, but

524
00:36:53,111 --> 00:36:55,881
I'm in charge of Iwabitsu Castle.

525
00:36:56,949 --> 00:36:58,584
My hands are tied.

526
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:06,024
I'm all right now.

527
00:37:06,892 --> 00:37:07,826
Sorry.

528
00:37:08,026 --> 00:37:10,529
Just seeing your face
has cheered me up.

529
00:37:11,697 --> 00:37:12,931
I'm glad I got to see you.

530
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:20,172
While Father is absent,

531
00:37:21,039 --> 00:37:22,441
I've been placed in charge.

532
00:37:22,507 --> 00:37:23,875
Where did Father go?

533
00:37:25,377 --> 00:37:29,147
Most of the surrounding lords
have gone to the Hojo.

534
00:37:29,815 --> 00:37:33,352
But our father has a twisted personality.

535
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:35,087
Then...?

536
00:37:37,222 --> 00:37:39,157
He went to see Uesugi Kagekatsu.

537
00:37:43,562 --> 00:37:45,597
Sanada, please understand.

538
00:37:46,231 --> 00:37:49,768
The Uesugi lack the power
to protect the Sanada.

539
00:37:49,968 --> 00:37:52,771
We're not expecting to be protected.

540
00:37:54,139 --> 00:37:55,173
Explain.

541
00:37:56,675 --> 00:38:01,179
The Uesugi have deep roots in Shinano.

542
00:38:02,247 --> 00:38:04,349
It doesn't matter what the other lords do.

543
00:38:04,883 --> 00:38:07,719
The Sanada will not go over to the Hojo.

544
00:38:10,389 --> 00:38:14,226
The Sanada... will remain
loyal to the Uesugi.

545
00:38:18,664 --> 00:38:22,901
Let's work together in protecting
Shinano from the Hojo.

546
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:28,073
All right.

547
00:38:29,908 --> 00:38:33,979
The Uesugi will protect
your Chiisagata fief.

548
00:38:34,046 --> 00:38:34,880
Lord!

549
00:38:36,415 --> 00:38:40,686
Sanada, let's fight the Hojo together.

550
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:43,355
Yes!

551
00:38:46,191 --> 00:38:48,493
You're going to be very busy.

552
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,029
All the arrangements are made.

553
00:38:57,035 --> 00:38:57,869
Idiot!

554
00:38:57,936 --> 00:38:59,071
I'm terribly sorry!

555
00:38:59,337 --> 00:39:01,540
So you left Grandmother behind.

556
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:03,809
What did I send you there for?!

557
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,717
Genjiro, you've been blundering a lot.

558
00:39:16,288 --> 00:39:18,623
Do you know why you blunder?

559
00:39:19,758 --> 00:39:22,794
You rely too heavily on instincts.

560
00:39:24,529 --> 00:39:26,565
I live by instincts, too.

561
00:39:27,299 --> 00:39:30,869
But my instincts come from experience.

562
00:39:33,105 --> 00:39:35,140
Even then, I make mistakes.

563
00:39:35,974 --> 00:39:38,176
I can't blame you for making mistakes.

564
00:39:39,711 --> 00:39:41,279
Genjiro, listen.

565
00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:45,217
Your brother doesn't rely
on instincts.

566
00:39:46,151 --> 00:39:47,953
So he makes less mistakes.

567
00:39:49,788 --> 00:39:52,958
Which do you think
is the right way?

568
00:39:53,024 --> 00:39:54,426
-Brother's.
-No.

569
00:39:56,828 --> 00:40:02,033
Genzaburo and Genjiro...
the two melds into one.

570
00:40:03,602 --> 00:40:07,973
Genzaburo makes few mistakes,
but he's honest and boring.

571
00:40:10,909 --> 00:40:15,080
You make mistakes, but
you're interesting.

572
00:40:16,681 --> 00:40:18,917
You need to be interesting
to motivate people.

573
00:40:21,019 --> 00:40:22,721
The two of you make one.

574
00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:29,561
I have another assignment for you.

575
00:40:29,828 --> 00:40:30,896
Me?

576
00:40:31,897 --> 00:40:33,698
Go to Uesugi's Kaizu Castle.

577
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:34,833
Kaizu Castle?

578
00:40:34,900 --> 00:40:36,301
Nobutada is waiting for you.

579
00:40:37,369 --> 00:40:38,970
Follow his orders.

580
00:40:39,037 --> 00:40:40,205
Am I assisting Uncle?

581
00:40:40,806 --> 00:40:44,376
There's a vassal named Kasuga Nobutatsu.

582
00:40:45,777 --> 00:40:47,879
<i>He formerly served the Takeda,</i>

583
00:40:47,979 --> 00:40:51,049
{\an8}<i>but he's gained the deep</i>
<i>confidence of Kagekatsu.</i>

584
00:40:51,116 --> 00:40:52,884
{\an8}KASUGA NOBUTATSU

585
00:40:54,152 --> 00:40:57,689
We'll work on him.

586
00:40:58,590 --> 00:40:59,524
What?

587
00:41:00,058 --> 00:41:02,060
We'll get him to betray the Uesugi.

588
00:41:02,727 --> 00:41:03,962
And go to the Hojo.

589
00:41:04,529 --> 00:41:06,565
Father, I'm confused.

590
00:41:07,732 --> 00:41:10,235
He'll be my gift to the Hojo
when I go to them.

591
00:41:11,336 --> 00:41:12,237
The Hojo?

592
00:41:12,904 --> 00:41:15,140
The Hojo have momentum now.

593
00:41:16,041 --> 00:41:19,144
The Uesugi lack the power
to fight the Hojo.

594
00:41:19,811 --> 00:41:20,946
I'm siding with the Hojo.

595
00:41:30,822 --> 00:41:33,325
I'll lure Kagekatsu out to Shinano,

596
00:41:33,992 --> 00:41:36,261
have Kasuga Nobutatsu
attack from the back,

597
00:41:36,995 --> 00:41:40,732
and launch a pincer attack to crush them.

598
00:41:42,934 --> 00:41:48,840
The greatest merit for this
battle will go to the Sanada.

599
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:57,916
Can you persuade Kasuga
Nobutatsu to side with us?

600
00:42:00,685 --> 00:42:01,519
I will do it.

601
00:42:10,896 --> 00:42:12,430
The arrangements are made.

602
00:42:13,565 --> 00:42:16,868
The Lord is serious.

603
00:42:31,583 --> 00:42:35,654
<i>The Sanada's big gamble</i>
<i>with the Hojo and the Uesugi</i>

604
00:42:36,254 --> 00:42:38,123
<i>had just begun.</i>

605
00:42:39,424 --> 00:42:42,994
{\an8}END OF EPISODE 7

606
00:42:43,461 --> 00:42:44,396
Excellent!

607
00:42:45,163 --> 00:42:47,599
<i>I thought he was a man</i>
<i>who'd support the Uesugi.</i>

608
00:42:48,433 --> 00:42:51,703
<i>You never know</i>
<i>what motivates a person.</i>

609
00:42:52,437 --> 00:42:55,473
<i>It was Father and Uncle's ploy.</i>

610
00:42:56,107 --> 00:42:59,711
They are frightening.

611
00:43:03,648 --> 00:43:09,020
