I will pass my judgment on Kuro.

It is truly unforgivable that he

has received an official rank.

As such, he will not be
allowed to enter Kamakura.

He orders you to leave with.

Taira Munemori and Kiyomune.

Our Lord says you may
not enter Kamakura.

Can I see Lord Kamakura?

I doubt it.

Brother...

Brother!

Yoshitsune had to
return to Kyoto,

without seeing Yoritomo.

As for Yoritomo's treatment
towards Yoshitsune...

He's speculate Yoritomo's
true intention...

He'd go into denial,
then reflect upon it...

and throughout the trip, he'd
toss back and forth about it.

Lord,

Sir Munemori would
like to see you.

OK.

Ask me anything.

What's going to
happen to us now?

We'll take you back to Kyoto.

Are we going to be
executed in Kyoto?

Or will we be beheaded
along the way?

Father.

You may receive judgment
after we return to Kyoto.

What is it?

Your face has been stern
since we left Kamakura.

Are you deeply troubled?

No, there's nothing wrong.

You seem gloomy lately.

Is there something
bothering you?

If it's about Kuro, then you
shouldn't let it bother you.

You shouldn't regret
not seeing Kuro

or letting him enter Kamakura.

No...

According to Hiromoto, his
letter contained no apologies

for accepting the official rank
without your permission.

He lined up his
credentials in battles.

And was merely pleading mercy
in the name of brotherly love.

We must set an example for the
"Gokenin" vassals in Kamakura.

I believe it was
for his own good

to be treated so harshly.

It has nothing to do with that.

I've been looking for you.

What is it?

I'm a bit worried about Sir Kuro.

His feelings of resentment may
turn into treason against you.

That's been bothering me
ever since I sent Kuro away.

Munemori is the Heike leader.

If Kuro should team up
with Munemori...

the scattered remnants of the
Heike may come together again.

Then they may gain great powers.

That is correct.

Which means, we must first
reduce Kuro's powers.

You should confiscate the
24 territories given to Kuro.

That had formerly
belonged to the Heike.

What shall we do about
Munemori and Kiyomune?

Kiyomori fell from power
because he had shown mercy

to you and Kuro, who were
sons of Lord Yoshitomo.

You mustn't fall
into the same trap.

How is Sir Munemori doing?

He's afraid of what
awaits him in Kyoto.

Kyoto, Hun?

I share the same feelings as him.

I wonder what awaits us from now.

Lord

I heard that Shigehira's party was
at the nearby temple recently.

Shigehira was here?

The river up ahead overflowed so
he stayed for a couple of days here.

I doubt I'll ever see him again.

Father...

If he was sent to Nara,
then he'll most likely be...

From what I gathered... the.

Heike brothers are close.

That's only because of
what happened to our clan.

My older brother, Komatsu,

was a fine warrior.

He was highly respected by my
father and the clan members.

I feared him more
than I respected him.

When he died, I felt like
my eyesore was gone.

That is why I was harsh with
his eldest son, Koremori.

I was filled with envy and resentment
towards my younger brothers.

I was jealous of
Tomomori's strength,

and blinded by Shigehira's
straight forwardness.

I may have been afraid of
my own younger brothers.

I was too narrow-minded...

I see... So Shigehira had

stayed in this town.

Shigehira was in Kizu,

Yamashiro Province,
instead of Nara.

You must be the messenger
from Kamakura.

Indeed, I am.

I've brought Taira Shigehira.

Are you Taira Shigehira?

Indeed I am.

Take him away.

Women are not allowed here!

I heard Taira Shigehira
had entered Nara.

I am looking for him.

Who are you?

I am Shigehira's wife.

That Shigehira's?

In hopes of seeing him, I've been
going from temple to temple.

He's not here.

Where is he?

How would I know!

Please tell me where he is!

How would I know!

He's going to fall to
the burning hell!

Five years ago, you invaded Nara

with your army and killed many.

Then you burned down Todai-ji,
Kofuku-ji and the temple

of the Great Image of
Buddha. Is that correct?

Yes, it is.

I fearlessly did it without
respect for Buddha.

You, who have committed such
great sins, are an enemy of Buddha.

You are treacherous!

I am prepared to receive
any punishment for it.

Do as you wish with me.

The following day...

was the day of
Shigehira's execution.

Shigehira-sama!

Shigehira-sama!

Sukeko...!

She is my wife!

I haven't seen her since
the Battle of Ichi-no-Tani!

Please have mercy and
let me be by his side!

I am prepared to be beheaded!

Please allow us to bid
farewell to each other.

Please, I beseech you!

Thank you.

Please give me a keepsake...

I don't have anything on me.

I was hoping to grow old with you.

But that won't be possible now.

You must not follow me in death.

Live.

Live your life to the fullest.

Then we'll be able to meet
again in the other world.

Yes

I'm ready.

Shigehira-sama!

Shigehira died at

the age of 29.

So only Munemori is left,

amongst Kiyomori's children.

How sad.

Munemori and his son, Kiyomune,

are being sent back
from Kamakura.

I can't exactly figure

out Yoritomo on that.

Your Highness...

When Munemori returns to Kyoto,

can we use him in any way?

I think Kuro will be
more useful to us.

I thought so.

Lady Tango, Kuro is the

only useful one to us.

Your Highness seemed lonely

after Kuro left Kyoto.

How anxious you must be
to have him return.

Yoshitsune and his party had

arrived in Shinohara,
Omi Province.

SHINOHARA, OMI

We should be entering
Kyoto tomorrow.

Yes.

I thought we'd be beheaded
along the way to Kyoto.

Sir Munemori...

After crossing Sakawa River,
Fuji River, and Kiso River,

we are finally in Omi.

I am now convinced that we
can return to Kyoto alive.

I plan to apologize to the.

Monk-Emperor when we return.

If he doesn't forgive me, then
I'll have to resign to my fate.

But if he will forgive me,
I will enter the temple

and pray for the repose
of my late clan members.

I shall relay your feelings

to the Monk-Emperor.

Please do.

Please excuse me.

What is it?

There's a messenger
from Kamakura.

All right.

Please excuse me now.

Why, it's Sir Morinaga.

It's been a long time.

I have a message
from Lord Kamakura.

I'll hear it.

Behead Taira Munemori

and Kiyomune.

What?

The Heike have been defeated.

Munemori has no intent
to rise again.

He's as good as dead
as a warrior.

Why can't we just send him to
the temple or exile him faraway?

Why does Lord Kamakura
want him dead?

I am only here to relay his order.

Kuro, what is your answer?

As soon as we return to Kyoto...

Behead them here.

I must return to Kamakura

after I witness his execution.

Kuro...!

Very well.

I asked Tadanobu
to let me wait here.

What is it, Sir Munemori?

After I talked to you about
my brothers the other day...

I started reminiscing
about the past.

I see.

On the last night of
our trip together...

I was hoping to have
a nice chat with you.

If it's an inconvenience,
I will take my leave.

No, let us talk.

I'll excuse myself.

Was it about this tall?

When you were called Ushiwaka,
at Morikuni's mansion...

Yes.

Tomomori and Shigehira would
get into their talks with you.

But I never talked to you.

Right.

That was because I hated you.
And I resented you.

Tomomori and Shigehira treated
you like their younger brother.

Back then, I loved them like
my real older brothers.

What about the late Kiyomori?

I thought of him... as my father.

I couldn't tolerate that.

Somewhere along the line... I
started feeling that I had no father.

I didn't think of Kiyomori
as my real father.

No...

I was always reprimanded, so I

consoled myself
by thinking that.

Didn't he once share with

you his dream of Fukuhara?

Yes.

Unaware of the importance of
that "Byobu" folding screen...

I scribbled on it.

What is this circle?

The sun.

I couldn't tolerate that kind
expressions he showed you.

Because I never saw
him look so happy.

I hated you for smilingly
looking at his kind expressions.

So I threw stones at that folding
screen displayed in a lonely room.

What became of that
folding screen after that?

It was left with
the holes in them.

I got to see it again
before we fled from Kyoto.

Is that true?

What was at Ichijo Naganari's
mansion, was delivered to me.

And?

It was a despicable item to me.

I associated the fall of the Heike
to it, so I wanted to burn it.

But I held myself back and left
the folding screen for my vassals.

To dispose of, so I don't know
what happened to it after that.

Why are you concerned
about that folding screen?

Kiyomori called the Fukuhara
painted on the folding screen

his dream capital.

That scenery on the folding

screen is also my dream capital.

Of my dream country.

With the ships at sea, and the
people gathered at port...

There's a bank of clouds under
the peaceful light of the sun...

The people will smilingly
live in peace.

That scenery is
the exact scenery

of the new country I strive for.

That is the kind of country
that I truly desire.

The capital that my
late father dreamt of.

Yes.

His feelings live in you Kuro.

Is that it?

Sir Kuro.

Yes?

Will you kill us here?

I was prepared for it, when I heard
about the messenger from Kamakura.

Sir Munemori.

Battles come with victory or defeat,
so I must accept this as my fate.

Except that...

What?

I have just one request.

Please save my son,
Kiyomune's life.

With the exception of Lady Tokuko
and the married princesses...

we are the only two males left
with the late Kiyomori's blood.

If we are both killed, then.

Kiyomori's bloodline will die.

Please raise you head.

Please raise you head!

Father.

Sir Kiyomune.

Father, you will only put Sir Kuro
in a spot by saying that.

Besides, Yoritomo
will not allow that.

It is Yoritomo's decision to
end Kiyomori's bloodline.

Yoritomo is deeply aware
that he is what he is today

because the late Kiyomori
had spared his life.

How true that is.

Father, I appreciate you
feelings for me though.

The following day...

Has Kiyomune gone already?

Sir Munemori, do you
have any last words?

I have none.

With the nostalgic
Kyoto before him,

Munemori ended his
life of 39 years.

With his death, the Heike
bloodline had ended.

We are prepared to depart.

I have something
to say to all of you.

Lord Kamakura's purpose
of executing Munemori.

May have been to end
the Heike bloodline.

But I believe he had
another purpose for it.

He tested me to see if I
could kill Munemori or not.

That clearly shows that he
harbors suspicions towards me.

If that is how he feels, then

I have no will to follow him.

Lord!

The kind of countries that he

and I seek are not the same.

Lord Kamakura places too
much emphasis on politics

and has lost the
compassion in him.

The merciless Kamakura
ways are not what I seek.

I've decided to take a
different path from him.

Yes, Lord!

I'm going to seek
my own new country.

We shall follow you all the way.

If word of this should
get out to Kamakura...

there will surely be trouble
between the both of us.

Men, I want you all
to be prepared for it.

I, Benkei, understand very well.

Me, too!

I was prepared for this from
the time we left Koshigoe.

Kasanta and Yoshihisa,
are you prepared for it?

I'm following the
Lord all the way!

Same here!

Lord. We shall always be with you.

RIGHT!

Let us go now.

YES, LORD!

Yoshitsune finally made his
decision to leave his brother,

Yoritomo, who just
refuses to accept him.

And from this day forth,

hardships awaited all of them.

YOSHITSUNE'S JOURNEY
Shiga Prefecture, Yasu City

was called Shinohara in Omi Province when
Yoshitsune stopped at a nearby temple.

Here was where Taira Munemori
and his son were executed.

These graves of Taira
Munemori and his son.

Kiyomune mark the final
demise of the Heike.

Ironically, the place where the
Taira bloodline ended in Shiga

is not far from where Yoshitsune
had his Manhood Ceremony.

Yoshitsune had his coming
of age ceremony not far

from the Kabutoyama tomb
in Shiga prefecture.

This ancient Kozan tomb is in
Sakurasei Historical Park.

Dōtaku bells have been
found at Kabutoyama tomb.

They were richly decorated with
patterns representing nature and

animals, among which the dragonfly,
praying mantis and spider.

On the way to Oshu from Kyoto,

Yoshitsune staid at an Inn in Kagami
a post town of the Nakasendō highway.

Legend has it that this pond mark the
location of Yoshitsune's Manhood Ceremony.

Kagami Shinto Shrine.

It is said that during his manhood ceremony
Yoshitsune staid at an Inn in Kagami.

Today enshrined in the Kagami Shinto
Shrine is the bottom plate of

a basin said to
have been used at.

Yoshitsune's manhood ceremony.
