All language subtitles for Yoshitsune 06

A 13 year old warrior
who had fought...

in his first battle in the
Heiji Revolt had shouted:

I'll take the lead and forge ahead!

That spirited young warrior
was Minamoto-no-Yoritomo.

But he was exiled to Izu.

There were many warriors native to Izu.

Although they served the Heike,

they were discontent with
the Heike's strict rule.

Yoritomo grew up
witnessing of all this discontent.

Yoritomo would later lead
the Eastern province warriors

and establish the
Kamakura Shogunate.

During his exile, that appeared
to be a waste of time,

he found the way to united
the hearts of the warrior clans.

Mean time his younger brother
Yoshitsune was living in Kyoto.

The two brothers were
unaware of their strange

vicissitudes of fortune that lay ahead.

Clear the way!

I have a favor to ask of you.

Arrest a lad for me.

If you succeed, Lord
Rokuhara will reward you.

Did you know the Heike
are out to capture Shanao?

Why?

Because he's a Genji son.

I'll help him escape.

Will you call Shanao out
of the temple?

I refuse!

Utsubo...

Brother, I don't trust you.

Shanao!

Where is Shanao?

He went to the city with
the messengers.

I have nothing valuable
for you to steal.

Aren't you Shanao of Kurama?

I am in a hurry to see my mother.

I have no time for you!

There's no need to hurry.

We lied about your mother to lure you here.

Why?

You're a nuisance to someone.

How dare you use my mother!

Kill him!

Shanao!

Are you all right?

I came to inform you
of the danger in the city.

Who were they?

I don't know.

Please don't kill me.

Who hired you?

If I tell you that, I'll be killed.

If you don't tell me,
I will kill you.

Gotari!

This is what we do with traitors!

Let him go. His boss got away.

But...

Don't go back to them.

They're heartless to leave you
behind when you're injured.

Go.

Get lost!

We were hired by the Heike men.

Be careful. The Heike want you dead.

Kisanta..

Where is Shunkei?

Did something happen to Shanao?

How dare you enter the
mountain temple with weapons!

Have you no respect for Buddha?

Is that any way to speak to
Lord Kiyomori's messenger?

You are not allowed entry!
Leave at once!

Or you will receive divine
punishment!

I am Kakunichi.

I am Saemonnojo Morikuni.

I do not see Shanao here.

Again?

Why hasn't Shanao become a priest?

It's not that he doesn't want to be one...

but rather that I won't let him.

Why?

As you can see for yourself...

he lives in the temple but
has no fear for Buddha.

He lives selfishly as he see fits.

I can't make such a man
a servant of Buddha.

Are you aware that he's
wandering about the city?

So he's been going down to the city...

We are surrounded by
stupendous mountains.

So I cannot keep an eye on him.

Not to say, we have no
fence to enclose us.

Shanao's been taking advantage
of this and sneaked out.

So what do you plan to do with him?

He'll surely be punished
by Buddha someday.

When that day comes, I'll
have him turn a new leaf.

I'll have him convert to Buddhism!

Were you listening?

Shanao, you will...

be pushed to the edge, sooner or later.

I won't' forgive you for
trying to hurt my friend.

What are you going to do,
bringing an old man like him?

He's been living in the
darkness of the city.

Haven't you heard of
Suzaku-no-Okina?

I won't take your life...

So get out of Kyoto at once!

If they spot you in Kyoto again...

They won't stand for it.

All right.

Is that all right with you?

I don't think of him
as my older brother.

Stupid.

Please forgive me.

You don't have to apologize.

But...

The Genji are enemies
of the Heike.

This is my destiny for
being a Genji son.

I'm ashamed to have an older
brother like him.

Utsubo...

Please forgive him with that.

It's all right.

Stop crying.

I understand how you feel.

You must be sad to see him leave.

I'm alone... all alone.

You have Gotari and the others...
as well as me.

Yes.

Priest Kakunichi, whom I met
at Kurama Temple, made all kinds

of excuses for not making Shanao
a priest, but I'm not convinced.

What did he say about Shanao
coming down into the city?

He said he didn't know about it.

Yoritomo, whom we exiled to Izu,
was born in Kyoto.

There are many people
who are still loyal to the Genji.

If Shanao conspires with them,

it could turn into a serious matter.

Morikuni, did you meet with Shanao?

No.

How old is Shanao now?

Brother...

There's a messenger from
Fukuhara here now.

What is it?

The repair for the dock
at Fukuhara, that was damaged

in the recent storm,
hasn't been progressing well.

So they're thinking of
offering a human sacrifice...

Fool! That is out of the question!

According to Tokitada...

Kiyomori is too lenient
with Shanao at Kurama Temple.

Father has always been kind to Shanao.

Kiyomori is powerful enough to
raise the Heike to a noble status.

I highly respect his intelligence.

But I am slightly concerned
about his kindness.

I think that's a good trait.

Kindness will invite betrayal.

As proof, he was betrayed by Yoritomo,

whose life he had kindly spared.

Any further compassion will be detrimental.

Mother, what are you suggesting we do?

If Kiyomori should ever get
faint-hearted in the future,

you must all be his support.

Keep that well at heart.

Why don't we capture Shanao
and bring him forth to Father?

What? We can't do such
thing on our own accord.

If Father is having doubts...
We must give him a push.

We should leave the
decision to Father.

Tomomori, are you trying
to protect Shanao?

That's not my intent.

Stop fighting among yourselves.

I don't think Shanao, whom we
played with when we were children,

would turn against us.

Only you two played with him.

They'll be on the lookout
for you in the city.

You'll either have to
become a Buddhist monk

or leave the capital city.

I haven't made up my mind
to become a monk yet.

The Heike won't accept that.

You should leave the city then.

But where would I go?

How about Oshu?

Hiraizumi, Oshu.

Hiraizumi?

The Fujiwara govern Oshu.

The present Lord, Hidehira,

governs the provinces of
Mutsu, Dewa, and Ryogoku.

Oshu is where your
ancestors are from...

and where Hachimantaro
Yoshiie is from.

But we're not sure if he'll
be safe in Hiraizumi.

Hidehira is the third
generation lord for the Fujiwara.

Their lands are vast
and abundant.

Hiraizumi is a land of peace.

He's trying to turn it into
the Pure Land on Earth.

Pure Land?

I can't think of anywhere else you can go.

Even your uncle, Shingu Juro,
is laying low in Kumano.

Most of your siblings
have entered the priesthood.

Your older brother, Yoritomo,
lives in Izu.

But he's in exile there.

Did you say my older brother?

Yes. Uhyoenosuke Yoritomo
is your older brother.

Yoritomo?

He is your half brother.

My... older brother?

In the far east, Izu...

lives his older brother,
who he has never seen.

Shanao felt the Genji blood
flowing through his veins.

Hirugakojima, Izu.

Minamoto Yoritomo.

Kamenomae.

It leaped.

Is it a frog?

Okame...

I told you to stop
calling me "lord".

The night before I came here...

My father told me...

Told you what?

That I could be slain for insolence.

So to address you as "lord".

I can't get that out of my mind.

Do you think I'd kill you
if you made a mistake?

Can I make a garden here?

I want to get out of this
kimono and toil with the dirt.

What are you going to grow
in the garden?

Eggplant and cucumbers.

That sounds good.

Over ten years had passed
since Yoritomo was exiled...

to Izu by Taira Kiyomori.

The Eastern Provinces,
once the foothold of the Genji,

were now under Heike rule.

Yoritomo lived under the
surveillance of Hojo Tokimasa.

There was no one he could
trust around him.

He lived amongst the warriors
of the Eastern Provinces

humbly and in faint breath.

I heard there was a letter
from the Heike in Kyoto.

I was ordered to do surveillance.

I'll have to go to Kyoto
some time or another.

They said to keep a vigilant
watch on Suke.

Who is Suke?

The one in Hirugakojima.

I don't understand why they
are so concerned about him.

He lives a dilapidated life
with the nuns of Hiki.

I can't believe he is a samurai, like us.

He's a samurai from Kyoto...
that's all.

I want to be included.

This isn't a place for a woman.

It is the duty of a Hojo
to entertain our guests.

May I join you?

May I join you?!

Continue the discussion.

Well...

Oh yes, Tokimasa!

Let's talk about Ito's rude behavior.

What about Ito?

The other day, during boar hunting...

I went to the watering
place to rest my horse.

Ito and his group was also
there, hunting.

He claimed the water from
the fall belong to him.

Which water fall?

The one past Shibayama.

That fall belongs to no one!

Hori, why did you back down?

Will you keep your comments to yourself?

Because he had a big group
with him and I was alone.

Let me talk to Ito.

Never mind. Just keep quiet.

Why did you interfere?

The boar ran directly in my way.

Are you accusing us of getting in your way?

No... the boar...

Who are you?

You should identify yourself
first before you ask my name.

Stop that roundabout way
of talking.

Roundabout?

Use my knee as a footstep.

Father, who was that?

Who are you talking about?

Well, that's...

How dare he answer back to me!

Who are you talking about?

I haven't seen him around here before.

He's fair in complexion...
like a man from Kyoto.

That must be Suke.

The Genji exile?

So you've met him.

Kill him.

What are you saying?

Then I'll kill him myself.

Masako! Wait!

He's been entrusted to us
by the Heike clan.

We can't do what we want with him.

We have our way of doing
things in Izu!

Why can't we take the
life of an exiled man?

Exiled or not, we need
our lord's consent to do it.

Who cares about propriety?

Taira Kiyomori will be elated
if we kill a Genji man.

How can you say that?

Then we won't have to play up
to the Hojo main family.

And we can be equal to
Oba in the East,

and Kajiwara in the West.

Father, you cherish the Heike too dearly!

Have the spirit to surpass the Heike!

Listen Masako!

Sometimes you have to lay low
if you want to survive.

How dare that Yoritomo defy me!

Adachi Morinaga.

Although in exile, Yoritomo
was secretly updated

of the situation in Kyoto and of the Heike

through his childhood friend,
Miyoshi Yasunobu.

What is that?

We received some river fish
from the local people.

I made the barley noodles.

That looks delicious.

Is that from Yasunobu in Kyoto?

He writes to me every so often.
I am truly grateful for that.

What did he say?

Kiyomori has been acting
strange from the previous year.

Strange in what way?

He developed Hyogo-jima...

Then built a dock, mansion, and
Buddhist temple in Fukuhara.

For what purpose?

Probably...

Meanwhile, Shanao at Kurama
Temple was in complete confusion.

Unable to see what path to take...

He felt like a leaf floating on the waves.

Will you let me see Kiyomori?

I'll have to refuse.

Do you think I'll seek
revenge on him?

It's possible.

There is something that
I would like to ask him.

He may be my father's enemy...

But I just can't hate him.

I don't' understand why the
Heike want to eliminate me.

There was a time when I
thought of him as my father.

This is a large dock.

When this dock is built...

Our relations with the foreign
countries will strengthen.

And Japan will be able to change.

That time, he shared with me
his big dreams in Fukuhara.

He was thinking of making
changes to the country.

But nothing has come of it yet.

Why is there still fighting?

Why are parents, children,
and siblings separated?

I want to ask him that.

I can't think of him as my father's enemy.

Even now, I can't hate him.

They say, "Time heals all wounds".

The blood that was shed should've dried up.

The wound that was inflicted
should've closed up.

But they are trying to shed
new blood over the old.

Does he regret sparing my life
when I was an infant?

I don't know what he thinks.

But after he became a priest...

It is the young noblemen that
are controlling the Heike now.

The Heike clan has grown beyond
Kiyomori's control.

Please wait.

I'll be going now.

I've been instructed to
inform My Lady of your visit.

Lady Tokiwa.

This is the usual...

So you know Shanao.

I've been close to him since
the days at Kurama Temple.

Did Shanao ask you
to look out for us?

No, I'm doing this on my own.

His heart is filled with
fondness for his mother.

That is why I went out of
my way to do this.

Shanao does not know that
I am coming here.

I feel bad for always
accepting your kindness.

Please accept it.

Shanao...

Never mind.

Please ask me anything.

I go to Kurama Temple every so often.

So I can give him a message.

The Heike have been asking
a lot about Shanao lately.

Yes, I know.

Please tell Shanao to be careful.

I will.

No, never mind.

He's in training now.
He shouldn't be bothered.

Why are you helping
Shanao so much?

A great merchant like you...

doing something with
no benefit to you.

That seems suspicious.

The doc k that the Heike
built in Fukuhara has me boggled.

Is Kiyomori trying to
monopolize the foreign trade?

That would pose a problem for me.

The Fujiwara in Oshu have
crossed the seas and have

been trading with the foreign
countries for a while now.

If that trade is going to be
difficult from now on...

The Fujiwara and I will
have a bleak future.

How does that related to Shanao?

If the Fujiwara Clan and the
Genji son should join hands...

They'll have the power to
thwart Kiyomori's plans.

And here is another man
frantically searching for Shanao.

Go.

Aren't you Benkei?

I know the man you're looking for.

Will you buy me something to eat
if I tell you who he is?

Who is it?

His name is Shanao.

Shanao?

Don't tell anyone that I told you.

Shanao...

Shanao!

To think that lad is a Genji son.

Benkei felt it was fate.

What did you say?

I'm telling you to become a priest.

Rather than fleeing Kyoto...

Be a Buddhist monk
as the Heike desire.

Teacher... I will not become a monk.

Shanao!

I have finally made up my mind.

I've been thinking about my
future for the past few days.

I can't say I have found
my path in life, but...

I think there are things
I can do outside of Buddhism.

And what are they?

I do not know what that is yet.

But I feel there's something.

For example, building a world
where the family can live together.

I want to see the country change.

That is why I'd rather not
become a secluded priest.

So, Teacher...

Many faces popped into
Shanao's mind at that time.

He felt something was about
to drastically change around him.

He knew he would have to
leave Kurama Temple very soon.

If my presence will cause
trouble to Kurama Temple...

Ignore anything Masako blurts.

Is that clear?

If Yoritomo and Shanao should join hands...

I guess I'll have to realize
my dream in the lands of Oshu.

Please take me with you!

Kisanta...

Attack!

Genji son!

You are...

I, Musashibo Benkei, will assist!

I will have to stand on my
own two feet from now.

I'm thinking of having
my manhood rite.

I'm Kuro, the ninth son
of the Genji.

Yoshitsune's Journey
Shizuoka Prefecture, Nirayama Town.

At the age of thirteen, Minamoto
Yoritomo was sent to exile in Izu,

the domain of Hōjō Tokimasa.

It was near here that he spent his exile.

Hojo Masako was born near.

Hiruga-kojima

in 1157 as the eldest
daughter of Hojo Tokimasa.

It is said that Masako
was given her first bath

with water from this well.

The tomb of Hojo Tokimasa.

Today there is an Archaeological dig site
where the Hojo Mansion was located.

Bowls, dishes, and pieces of
pottery have been found.

A statue of Masako and Yoritomo

is located in Hiruga-kojima park
