All language subtitles for Yoshitsune 30

Why aren't you allowed to go to battle?

The Monk-Emperor approaches the
disappointed Yoshitsune further.

The Monk-Emperor plays
two cards in his hands...

The "Jugoi-no-Ge" and "Shoden."

The "Jugoi-no-Ge" is a
rank lower than Yoritomo.

But is was a big promotion for Yoshitsune.

Moreover, it was unusual for a
person of a "Jogoi-no-Ge rank"

to have "Shoden" (access to the
Imperial Court) privileges.

In order to preserve order in
Kyoto, it was vital that he gain an

official rank and be able to argue
on an equal level with the affluent.

However...

How am I supposed to view Kuro?

My promotion is namely for the
benefit of Lord Kamakura.

Where is their brotherly bond headed?

Yoshitsune, who was omitted from
the army to punish the Heike

was carrying out his duties as
the judicial chief of Kyoto.

The burglars are running rampant.

It's probably because of the reduced
number of soldiers in town.

After the punitive army had
left for the western provinces.

We have to do something about it.

You should be leading the
punitive army against the Heike,

but you're here dealing
with these lousy burglars.

I truly feel sorry for you.

Right?

You should be on the battlefield.

Don't get it wrong.

Going to battle and guarding the
capital are both important duties

as Lord Kamakura's vassals.

Yes...

There's no ranking to the
importance of those duties.

It is vital that we carry out
the duties that we are given.

Yes!

Welcome Home

I'm sorry for not going out to greet you.

It's all right.

I need to talk to Yoshitsune.

Don't talk so loud.

Why did he marry that woman?

Utsubo!

She can hear you!

Isn't Shizuka his wife?

We feel the same way as you, but...

The Lord has his position to consider, too.

If Shizuka is his wife,
I would be convinced.

Shizuka is a nice person. That is why I...

I can't tolerate the fact
that he married someone else!

Shizuka-sama!

So you're here.

It's near the kitchen, so it's convenient.

I can help them cook the meals.

I was expecting to see you depressed.

I already knew how a woman
like me would be treated.

In a Samurai family.

Yoshitsune, who is a vassal
to Lord Kamakura...

can't act on his personal feelings alone.

You are admirable.

I'm sure everyone has a admirable side.

Including you.

It's sad, isn't it?

That is why a person has
someone to support them.

It doesn't mean to lean
on each other, but...

to support each other
on your two feet.

I came to console you, but you
ended up consoling me instead.

Thank you.

I see... I have to stand
on my own two feet, too.

Meanwhile, in the western provinces...

Tomomori, who was in Hikoshima,
Nagato, attacked the Genji forces

many times on the Sanyo-do Highway,
and the Genji forces led by Noriyori,

were not able to advance as
smoothly as they wished.

The fact that Yoshitsune was
omitted from the punitive army...

must mean that there's a gap
between he and Lord Yoritomo.

Indeed.

You must've hurt Yoritomo's
feelings by giving Yoshitsune

that appointment.

It's going as we had planned.

Yes, truly.

Let's work Kuro very hard.

In Kyoto, the burglars were
going wild and rampant.

And controlling them
was truly rough.

Yoshitsune asked Suzaku-
no-Okina, who had ties

to the underworld, to
gather the thieves.

They are the thieves who
responded to my summons.

I am Kuro Yoshitsune.

You're not going to tell
us to stop, are you?

Why do you rampage Kyoto?

We have no other
means of surviving!

But you weren't born
as a thief, were you?

You lost your families in
battles, fires, and illnesses,

and ended up as orphans.

And had no choice but
to resort to stealing.

Isn't that right?
Rashomon-no-Shirasagi?

How do you know my name?

Isn't that right, Akame?

When I was a child, I saw you
with Gorari and Karasumaru.

Back then, you
were called "Ushi."

Ushi, he said!

Are you that "Ushi?"

What can we possibly do?

How about tilling the lands?

We have no land to till.

It won't be right away.

After I've distinguished myself
in battle and receive a fief,

I'll give you lands to till.

Until then, please control
the thieves in Kyoto.

Are you telling us to work
for you, the Judicial Chief?

No, that's not it.

I'm asking you to work
for me, personally.

I could've just crushed you
all as the Judicial Chief.

But the number of orphans
will never decrease.

And the stealing won't cease.

I want you to get rid of those
things with your own hands.

I want you to know another
life, other than stealing.

Will you help me?

After this, the number of
burglaries gradually decreased.

Kuro Yoshitsune, you've done a
great job as the Judicial Chief.

Thank you.

His Highness is pleased.

As such, you will be promoted
to "Jugoi-no-Ge."

I appreciate it, but...

I would like to obtain permission
from Lord Kamakura.

I am his vassal and to receive a
court rank as an appointment...

Are you going to reject
His Highness' will?

That is not the case at all.

Tomoyasu.

Yes?

Let Kuro have his way.

Jugoi-no-Ge?

He's asking if it's
all right to accept it.

He readily accepted the wife that
you sent him, and he's asking you

for your permission on this...

So he hasn't forgotten his place.

What are you going to reply?

Kuro calls himself
a Judicial Chief.

He goes by a title given
by the Monk-Emperor.

What should I view him as?

The Monk-Emperor is playing
with Kuro's mind now.

We should be worried about
the Monk-Emperor's actions.

Don't reply to it.

Let's see how they'll discern it.

Discern it?

This is a good chance to
let the Monk-Emperor

and Kuro know that nothing
will move on, without your say.

Shall we wait for the Monk-
Emperor to lose his patience

and ask us for our reply?

Yoshitsune received a summons
from the Monk-Emperor,

just around the time
the eulalia blossomed.

Maybe he's going to pressure
you to accept the court rank.

But we haven't received a
reply from Lord Kamakura yet.

You should decline it.

He can't do that.

Why not?

Don't worry, both of you.

But...

I've heard a lot about
the Monk-Emperor.

Some have warned me about him.

He's called you to the
temple and not the palace.

That's what bothers me.

This may be a good chance
to judge his character.

You may speak to me directly.

Yes.

You may raise your head.

Thank you for coming.

Yes.

I shall be leaving now.

There's another reason why

I called you to

this temple.

I heard you recently

lost your mother.

Yes.

From the time she served at

the Empress Nujo's Palace...

She was highly cherished
for her beauty.

I knew that she was.

Yoshitomo's beloved, too.

To console you, for having

lost your mother recently...

I thought the temple, where.

Lord Buddha is, would be best.

I am honored to have you worry

about me in such a way.

The sadness of
losing a mother...

can only be understood
by one who experienced it.

I remember how it was.

I see.

Does that mean you have

no living parent now?

Yes.

The year I was born my

father died in battle.

When I was seven, I was
separated from my mother.

And taken into Kurama Temple.

So I have never lived with
my parents and siblings.

How lonely you

must've been.

I've lived a

lonely life, too.

So your life overlaps with mine.

I might've indulged
in ballads as

a youth because I was lonely.

I had nothing to

rely on from before.

I received support from the nobles
and help from the Samurai,

to survive until today.

I've been betrayed a number
of times, along the way,

and had almost met with demise.

And each time, I thought...

how I wish I had
someone I could depend on.

How I wish to live in an
eternally peaceful world,

in which families can live

together without fighting.

I, Yoshitsune, am touched by your words.

Is that so?

I guess that means we
share the same feelings.

Yes.

I'll be relying

on you from now.

Ok?

YES!

Shortly after that...

Judicial Chief Kuro Yoshitsune...

You are granted the court
rank of "Jugoi-no-Ge."

It is His Highness' wish.

Yes.

That it should have come to this!

Yoshitsune was now

forced to accept it.

I am worried as to how Lord
Kamakura will react to it.

If I declined it, I would've
insulted His Highness' wishes.

And if anything, it would've

gone against Lord Kamakura.

That is why I accepted it.

Given the position he's in,
he had no choice but to accept.

I'll just have to watch
what I do from now.

I will stake my life
on serving Lord.

Kamakura, to prove my sincerity.

I am still worried about you.

Why?

As auspicious as it may be...

When too many good things
happens one after another...

It seems like you're being

set up for something terrible.

You needn't worry about me.

Ok.

Yoshitsune-sama...

They say bad things follow good

things. Please be careful.

I understand.

Meanwhile, there was a
downcast look in Kamakura.

I am establishing a
"Kumonjo" and "Monchujo."

The "Kumonjo" will handle my fief
and the administrative details.

The "Monchujo" will handle the
disputes and their judgment.

Indeed.

The "Kumonjo" will be
headed by O'e Hiromoto,

who will be assisted by
Fujiwara Yukimasa.

The stewards for the "Monchujo"
will be Miyoshi Zenshin,

Fujiwara Toshikane,
and Taira Moritoki.

What has happened to her?

I am terribly sorry.

What has happened to her?

She hasn't been eating
or speaking much.

Princess.

Yoshitaka...

Princess...

She hasn't been eating or
speaking since that day.

So she looks pale and
her eyes are hazy.

She'll end up starving to death.

You shouldn't have beheaded

Yoshitaka, after all.

What are you going to do now?

What are you going to do
for her, as her father?

Princess...

Please forgive me

about Yoshitaka.

Yoshi...

Princess... what
did you just say?

Yoshi...

Princess.

Yoshitaka...

I will join you by your side.

Yoritomo, who was shocked by this,
built a shrine to pray for the

repose of Yoshitaka and held
a memorial service for him,

to console the Princess.

However, the Princess'
condition did not improve.

Then news of Yoshitsune's
promotion to "Jugoi-no-Ge"

reached Kamakura.

So Kuro accepted it.

Yes, he did.

Perhaps we are cursed.

The incidents that have been
happening in Kamakura are all bad.

What do you mean?

Kuro accepted the official rank
without your permission,

then he accepts the court rank.

Your wish to draw the line
with the Monk-Emperor

has been crushed,
one way or another.

Moreover, Noriyori who marched
to the western provinces,

is stuck with his army
on Sanyo-do Highway.

I heard Wada Yoshimori wants
to retreat to Kamakura.

But here in Kamakura...

Enough!

You've installed the men
from Kyoto in the new posts,

instead of our Kamakura men.

Are you unhappy with that?

That isn't my point.

Are you saying that
that's a bad omen?

My father and the Hojo men, who
have followed you from day one,

would like to hear your thoughts.

You can't blame them for thinking
your appointments are biased.

I choose the men who are
well fit for the posts.

Is that so?

But if they are always ignored...

it will make them lose their vigor.

We will surely start falling
apart in Kamakura.

Silence.

What will you do then?

Well?

What are your thoughts?

What is it?

From now on...

Yes?

Don't tell me how to
run my administration.

He told you what?

We, Hojo, may end up
being pushed to the side.

And if Lord Kamakura tells
you to stay out of it...

No.

His manner of speaking lately
has made me realize.

What kind of person he is.

He is not a man of pure reason.

He actually wishes for

compassion and is timid.

What?

That's what I gathered,
after seeing how flustered

he got over the Princess.

He held a memorial
service for Yoshitaka,

and got upset with
my candid advice.

He puts a cap over
his inner compassion.

And wears an armor of reason.

And not just one, but two
or three coats of armor.

In other words, he is a
man of compassion.

Father.

What?

Don't be hasty.

OK!

In October, Yoshitsune was
granted access to the Court.

The nobles were very surprised
by the number of rewards the.

Monk-Emperor gave him over
such a short period of time.

I am glad to hear that
Lord Hidehira is well.

Yes.

He told me something on
the day I left Hiraizumi.

What did he say?

He said to tell you to be
careful of your surroundings.

I'll gratefully
accept the advice.

What is he to be careful of?

His exceptional promotion.

My promotion is namely for
the benefit of Lord Kamakura.

I believe he will
see that someday.

I have just returned!

Why, if it isn't Kichiji!

Sir. Jiro, did you go somewhere?

I used to be a sailor,

so I have friends all over.

Jiro and Saburo have been
scouting various places for us.

So you're keeping prepared?

What is the situation in
the western provinces?

Sir. Noriyori's army is trying
to get to Chikuzen, but...

they are stuck in Aki Province.

And that area is defended by
the Heike's naval forces.

With the Heike holding them back
on the Sanyo-do Highway,

they aren't able to make any moves
and are running low on supplies.

With our allied forces
having such a hard time,

Why isn't Lord Kamakura
ordering our Lord to battle?

If you were the Genji general

what would you do?

I would attack the Heike's
main base in Yashima.

Without a naval force?

All I need is a ship that
will take me to Shikoku.

I didn't know you were here.

I was just...

How's the Princess?

The same I'm afraid.

Will you see her?

No... Maybe another time.

Morinage.

Yes, my lord?

Am I neglecting the Hojo?

No, my lord.

Not if you consider the time
you were exiled in Izu.

I think you are being
sincere with them.

I am aiming for a new
type of administration.

I am only making it outright clear
as to what is important for it.

Lord...

Did that reason narrow

my way of thinking?

Lord, you must be tired.

I'll ask the Monk-
Emperor for permission

to attack the Heike in Yashima.

Yes, My Lord!

And who will lead the army?

Kuro.

The general will be
Kuro Hogan Yoshitsune.

Did you just say "Hogan"
(Judicial Chief)?

That's right.

Are you saying that
out of obligation to Kuro?

No, that is not the case.

I want to see how the
most distinguished man

in the Ichi-no-Tani battle will
defeat the Heike at Yashima.

In other words,
I am testing him.

What did you just say?

Yoritomo asked that
Kuro Hogan be the general.

For the punitive force
against the Heike.

My brother, Lord Kamakura, did?

That's right.

Did he ask for me, Hogan?

That's what the letter said.

Kuro Hogan Yoshitsune,

what do you say to it?

I, Yoshitsune, gratefully
accept the order.

Let us defeat the Heike

together and build a new world.

YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!

Yoshitsune, who had incurred
the wrath of Yoritomo,

had finally been given the great

task of punishing the Heike.

Scenes from the next episode.

I've been appointed the Chief
Commander of the punitive army.

Did you say the land route?

I don't plan on returning alive.

You're like a boar that
doesn't know how to back off.

Will you follow me?

Of course.

Do you plan to die in vain?

It's to win the battle.

I would like to follow Kuro.

I will leave ahead and
wait for you in Yashima.

Yoshitsune's Journey
Saitama Prefecture Kawagoe City.

This area belonged to a vassals
of Yoritomo - the Kawagoe clan.

Which gave the town
it's name Kawagoe.

Toki no Kane or Bell of Time is a bell
tower built between 1624 and 1644.

Yōju-in Temple.

It was from here that the daughter
(Moe) of the Lord of Kawagoe

was sent to marry Yoshitsune.

A memorial to Lady Moe and
Yoshitsune is enshrined here.

Lord Kawagoe Taro Shigemori
is buried here at Yoji-in.

Taro Shigemori's tomb.

Is not very far from the location where
Taro Shigemori's mansion once stood.

During the Kamakura Shogunate,

Yoritomo 'inherited' Shigeyori's land in
1185, after having him executed.

Joraku-Ji Temple.

Joraku-ji Temple was
established in 1237 by the 3rd.

Regent of the Kamakura
Shogunate, Hojo Yasutoki.

He created the first set of codes for
the custom and ethics of Samurai society.

Later, other samurai codes were
all based on this original code.
