All language subtitles for Yoshitsune 18

That is the sea.

In his later years, Kiyomori
changed his name to Jokai.

The sea represented
the theme of his life.

The Itsukushima Shrine
that Kiyomori built

symbolized his passion
for the sea.

Eliminating the pirates from
the Inland Sea of Japan.

Making preparations
for the sea routes.

Reclaiming land and
building a port.

Kiyomori actively conducted
trade with the Continent.

Which the Imperial Court
had prohibited.

Association with foreign
countries will deepen,

And our country will change.

Kiyomori hoped to create
a peaceful land.

That would prosper
with overseas trade.

Kiyomori laid the foundation
for Japan's trade.

As the rivalry with
the Genji intensifies,

Kiyomori, who paved the way for
the Samurai, finally meets his end.

Nishi-Hachijo Mansion
Mugwort Garden.

You were here, after all.

You seem to like it here, lately.

That's how you used to look,
when you gazed at the seas.

From the mansion in Fukuhara.

Does the mugwort garden
remind you of the sea?

This place allows me to forget
all the worldly troubles.

Is there something troubling you?

Kamakura.

Meanwhile, Yoshitsune was
living in Yoritomo's Okura Palace.

I don't see Benkei, Saburo
and the others around.

I believe they are at
fisherman Mokusuke's place.

Jiro is probably with them too.

Shall I go get them?

That's not necessary.

But,

They shouldn't sneak out
of the mansion so often.

They're not accustomed to
living in a mansion like this.

It must be suffocating for them to
mingle with unfamiliar "Gokenin."

So Saburo handled the oars.

I wonder who suggested it.

It was Kisanta.

No, it was Benkei.

I feel sorry for the Young Lord.

Why?

He rushed over to Yoritomo's side

with the desire to help him.

And?

But when he finally
came to Kamakura,

There is no place for
the Young Lord or us.

Lord Yoritomo is surrounded by the
men from the eastern provinces.

So our Young Lord doesn't
get any worthy assignments.

Excuse me.

Akane, it's been a while.

Yes, it has.

This is Tekona.

Yoshitsune told her

to look up Kichiji when
she came into town.

Did he have any message?

He wanted him to find
her a job as a maid.

So we thought of you.

We have a lot of jobs available.

Please employ me.

How is Yoshitsune doing?

I had a feeling you wanted
to know about that.

We all do.

We know Yoshitsune front the
time he was called Ushiwaka.

He lives near the shores
of the Kamakura sea.

Kamakura.

Does he live alone?

He live there with
his six vassals.

He has more vassals now.

Back in Oshu, he only had
four vassals, including Kisanta.

The closeness between them
were the talk of the town.

Does Yoshitsune have,

Yes?

Well,

Does he have a wife?

No.

Just,

What?

His vassal, Benkei,
has someone special.

Taira Morikuni's residence

I've been dreaming about
a beautiful woman lately.

It's a sign of energy.

It's a woman I have
never met before.

When I'm at a distance,
she turns and glances at me.

When I try to approach
her, she walks away.

No matter how fast I walk,
I can't get close to her.

Who is she?

I think she's my mother.

I was separated from
her at a young age.

And she passed away
without my knowledge.

When I approach her,

She looks away from me.

I've lived this long,

not knowing what my
mother looks like.

You have my sympathy.

In the next world,

Will I be able to see my mother?

When did I last come here?

When I had my manhood rite,

It was after the civil
war of the Heiji era.

When Kuro Yoshitsune was
still called Ushiwaka.

Ushiwaka used to play here often
with Tomomori and Shigehira.

Yes.

And you used to watch them.

Ushiwaka, huh...

You've been reminiscing
a lot tonight.

Is that so?

Lord!

Someone come! Hurry!

My Lord!

My Lord!

Lord!

My Lord!

Father,

Mother.

Why is Father perspiring so much?

What is this fever?

His whole body is hot.

Remain calm.

Prayers for Kiyomori's recovery

were chanted everyday.

But his condition
did not improve.

Young Lord.

Kuro,

Yes?

I've received word from Kyoto,

That Kiyomori suddenly
fell ill and took to bed.

I don't have the details
of his condition, though.

We thought we
should let you know.

Thank you for letting me know.

On this day, when he
felt a little better,

Kiyomori summoned Tokitada.

Sir Tokitada is here.

Brother,

Relay my words to His Highness.

Yes, I will.

After I die,

Munemori will take over for me.

Please work with Munemori

on the country's matters.

I will give him the message.

What is the matter?

I don't think Kiyomori
will survive this time.

He was once bedridden with
a "subaku-parasite" illness.

That's a curable illness.

I heard he's groaning with
a high fever this time.

I heard his body
is hot like fire.

If it's something that
is not listed here,

Then it might be an
illness from abroad.

Is that so?

I don't think he'll make it.

Are you going to see him?

What?

I think I'll pass this time.

There's no response?

Yes.

Not from His Highness.

Did he say anything?

Not a word of comfort.

Mother,

Munemori, go to the Palace.

Yes.

The following day,
it was Taira Tomoyasu.

Who greeted Munemori at
the ex-Emperor's palace.

After the power was
restored to the ex-Emperor.

He was appointed to serve
as adviser to Go-Shirakawa.

His nickname was
"Tsuzumi no Hogan."

Sir Munemori,

his highness has received
the message from Kiyomori.

Yes.

He said that he'll
leave the rest to you.

But I can't think of a
world without Kiyomori.

Indeed.

His Highness feels deeply lost.

Therefore, he has no
energy to go see him.

It pains me to see Kiyomori

suffer from his illness.

Sir Munemori, if the worst
should happen to Kiyomori,

You should think of His Majesty
as your father and serve him well.

That is the path for the Heike.

I am honored!

Tokiko contributed the best
of the family's treasures,

to the Temples.

The entire clan prayed
for Kiyomori's recovery.

However, his condition
worsened by the day.

Stop.

Why did you leave
the Lord's side?

I went to Fukuhara.

Why?

To get the rosary that
he always kept in hand.

When I told him last month
that I wanted to go back for it,

He said he'd get it when
he returned to Fukuhara.

My father said he was going
back to Fukuhara?

But bad things started
happening after that.

When the Lord fell ill,

I thought it might be
because of the rosary.

That's right! You should have
gone back for it sooner!

Then Father wouldn't
have fallen ill!

Munemori.

That's what bothered me too.

Oh!

Morikuni!

Morikuni!

We shall wait outside.

Kiyomori,

It's me, Tokiko.

It's me, Munemori.

Gotari went to get your
rosary in Fukuhara.

Kiyomori,

Your chances of recovery

seem slimmer by the day.

If there is anything
that you want done,

Please let me know.

I have nothing.

OK.

After I die, a Buddhist
service is unnecessary.

OK.

Have everyone in the clan,

Work together.

To subdue the revolts in
the Eastern Provinces.

Yes.

Lord Kiyomori!

My dream,

Of a new country.

Lord Kiyomori!

Born in the Samurai
Family called the Heike,

Kiyomori gained supreme
power within his lifetime.

To control the Imperial
Court and ex-Emperor.

But even he could
not beat his illness.

On February 4, 1181,
Kiyomori passed away.

He was 64 years old.

How fleeting time is.

Where are you going?

To the Mansion.

There are things I must do.

Kiyomori,

You were still

midway in your dream.

The mugwort garden!

Kiyomori cherished it!

It's burning!

Save it!

My Lady!

Gotari!

I caught him with
a torch in his hand.

Did you set the fire?

Yes!

Do you have a grudge
against the Heike?

Explain yourself!

It was the Lord's will to me.

Shortly before he died,

He told me in his bed,

No one can accompany
him to the other world.

So he wanted to at least
take the mugworts with him.

Lord!

Were you dreaming of a
new country in Fukuhara?

Did you leave your rosary there
because you couldn't fulfill it?

The following morning in the
corner of Nishi-Hachijo mansion.

Gotari's body was found.

It was the Heike's cruel
punishment on him.

For getting too
close to Kiyomori.

Young Lord Kuro is here.

I have come as summoned.

There's been a mishap in Kyoto.

We have received word that
Kiyomori passed away.

Thank you for letting me know.

Though an enemy, it is truly sad.

You must have mixed feelings.

No,

You were in his care at one time.

Yes.

I heard your mother
bore his daughter.

Which makes him your stepfather.

True, we had a strange
fate with each other.

But that fate had,
in a way bound me.

Now that he is dead,

I have nothing to stop me.

I can fight my hardest
as a Genji Samurai.

Kuro,

Yes?

I'm relieved to hear that.

Yes, Sir!

He was 64 years old.

I'm talking about Kiyomori.

He built his glory
in one generation.

I wonder if his 64 years
was long or short?

It's over for the Heike.

Father!

What happened to your
bamboo dragonfly?

It's right here.

Fly it for me.

When this port is done,
our association with the.

Foreign countries will deepen.

And our country can change.

It is my dream capital.

I am a Heike and you are a Genji.

Don't ever forget that.

Kiyomori,

Farewell.

Mother, how tired you must be.

You're still high-strung,
so it hasn't hit home yet.

I'm worried when it does sink in.

Thank you for visiting me.

I heard Kiyomori

had left a will.

Is that true?

I already told you about it.

He said a Buddhist service
was unnecessary.

The family must work together
to quell the revolts.

Taking place in the
eastern provinces.

Anything else?

No.

Morikuni?

He mentioned nothing to me.

In this last breath, he was
trying to tell Mother something.

But it didn't come out in voice.

That's not true.

He left another will with me.

In his last desperate breath,

he left some harsh words.

After receiving many
honorable rewards,

Becoming the Emperor's
maternal relative.

And achieving great honor
for future generations.

I have no other desires.

The one thing that mortifies me,

Is that I'm dying without
seeing Yoritomo's head.

After I'm dead, you need
not build any monument.

Or hold memorial services for me.

Those who have heard my will,
leave at once to kill Yoritomo!

Offer his head to my grave!

Those were his last words.

I shall take to heart
Father's last words!

I shall take that to heart, too.

Same here.

Men, let us take Yoritomo's
head as Father wished!

Kiyomori had killed
Yoshitsune's father.

Kiyomori, the leader of the Heike,
was a mortal enemy to the Genji.

He did not know why this
man's death saddened him.

Something beyond reason
was piercing his heart.

Scenes from the next Episode.

Yoshitsune's Journey
Kyoto City Shimogyo-Ku (Ward)

today where Umekoji Koen (Park) is located.

Taira no Kiyomori had a
summer residence here.

The Heike clan prospered for about 50 years

concentrated in what was once
their Rokuhara residential area.

Legend says the Nyakuichi Jinja Shrine was
established in 1166 by Taira no Kiyomori.

Nyakuichi Jinja Shrine.

There is a big 800 year old
camphor tree in front of the shrine

planted by Kiyomori and
worshiped as a symbol of the shrine.
