All language subtitles for Yoshitsune 38

What happened between
you and Lord Kamakura?

Minamoto Yoritomo... also
known as Lord Kamakura.

Yoritomo would hardly ever leave
Kamakura during his lifetime.

And would concentrate on building the
foundation for the Samurai Class.

He gathered the Gokenin to Kamakura
and establish the offices

of the Samurai-Dokoro,
Kumon-Jo, and Monchu-Jo.

He denied the authority of the
Court and prohibited the Gokenin

from accepting official rank
without his consent.

In response to Yoshitsune's
close ties to the Court...

He issued a proclamation to the
Gokenin nationwide to not heed

any orders from Yoshitsune,
and exercised his authority.

I, who am of no use to him
other than in battles,

hold no value to him anymore.

Will Yoshitsune be allowed
to enter Kamakura?

He sets out on
a fateful journey.

What awaited Yoshitsune in Kyoto
after the battle of Dan-no-Ura

was the harsh penalty for accepting
an official rank without the prior

consent of Lord Kamakura

to add to it...

Kuro... returned 2 of the Sacred
Treasures to the Monk-Emperor.

That was supposed to give us
leverage with the Monk-Emperor.

In essence, they were
Sacred Treasures to us, too.

Kuro, don't you
understand anything?

Lord Kamakura, I heard you
harbor suspicions towards me.

Harbor suspicions towards me.

I would like to see
the Imperial Prince.

He resembles you,
Lady Kenreimon-in.

Are you going to take the
Imperial Prince, who resembles.

His Majesty, to Kamakura?

If you want to take the young
Imperial Prince from me...

then you'll have to kill me first.

You may openly

love him hereafter.

The Monk-Emperor's Palace

I heard you visited
Lady Kenreimon-in.

At Mt. Yoshida recently.

Yes.

How was she doing?

She appeared to be
living peacefully.

I see.

As for her sentencing...

Now that she's become a nun,
His Majesty would like to be

merciful with her.

I wonder what Lord
Yoritomo's thoughts are.

I do not know.

I have a question for you.

Kajiwara Kagetoki's
Mansion in Kyoto.

Why did you visit Lady
Kenreimon-in recently?

Because she became a nun.

She's an enemy who hasn't
received sentencing yet.

If you, Lord Kamakura's
younger brother, visits her...

It will be mistaken as that
of Lord Kamakura's will.

Then it'll be troublesome later.

I don't think of her as an enemy.

That's an odd thing to say.

We ma have been ordered to
punish the Heike, but...

Lady Kenreimon-in is no
longer a Heike princess.

She is Kiyomori's daughter.

But she married into
the Imperial family.

And is now still the
mother of His Majesty.

To add to it, she's renounced
the world and is a nun.

I see your point.

Sir Kuro!

Hereafter... I won't be able to

see you casually anymore.

Kagesue...

Not that I don't want to.

But with Lord Kamakura's order
out, I can't do anything.

I'm sure there'll be a time when
we can drink together again.

Yoshitsune's written
pledge to Lord.

Yoritomo arrived in
Kamakura that day.

"I heard you have your
suspicions towards me,"

"which is out of my understanding."

"I, Kuro Yoshitsune, have no
treacherous intent towards you."

"I swear to it to the gods."

How shall I handle it?

There is no need to respond.

Let us watch his actions.

Please pardon me for
coming at this late hour.

Is that you, Otoku?

Yes.

I need to talk to you.

I heard a disturbing rumor.

That there's discord between

you and Lord Yoritomo.

Discord, you say?

The armorer and cord-maker
that were called to Kamakura

informed me of all
kinds of things, too.

They said an order was
issued from Lord Yoritomo.

But, Otoku...

Yes?

I have no treacherous

intent against him.

I know how you are.

But the people around you may

not be viewing you that way.

From what I heard, a letter
was delivered to Kamakura,

from the battle overseer, Sir Kajiwara.

Why did he send a letter?

In it, he commented on

your behavior as a General.

He said that you ignored
the eastern warriors.

What?

That you dogmatically forged
ahead in rash-fulness.

I didn't ignore them.

Nor did I act dogmatically.

You may think so, but the
others didn't take it that way.

I've sent a written pledge to Lord
Kamakura, but he hasn't replied.

If he were in Kyoto,
I'd go to see

him and talk to him directly.

Kamakura is far away.

Between Kyoto and Kamakura...

the distance is great.

This happened a few days later.

Yukiie, who had been out
of touch for a while,

had suddenly shown up at
Yoshitsune's mansion in Horikawa.

Congratulations on your
recent victory in battle.

I'm not only referring to
your victory at Dan-no-Ura.

Your feat at Ichi-no-Tani...
Your rampage at Yashima...

They were all excellent
battle achievements.

You have the makings of
a great Genji General!

How can Lord Kamakura

treat you like this?

Enough, uncle!

I've heard all kinds
of things, too.

You've defeated the Heike and
brought victory to the Genji.

How can he issue an
order like that?

He's jealous of you, who has won

fame and favor from the Court.

He's resentful of it!

Refrain from your comments.

Listen carefully.

The Monk-Emperor and Court
are concerned about that, too.

They're sincerely concerned
because they rely on you.

With the Monk-Emperor's backing,

let us suppress Lord Kamakura!

Let us show it to him!

Are you telling him to
defy Lord Kamakura?

Lord Kamakura's impudence
is overbearing!

Enough, uncle.

Why do you think I rushed
over to Kamakura from Oshu?

Wasn't it to avenge
your father, Yoshitomo?

Wasn't it to restore
the Genji to power?

I wanted to bring
peace to this country!

I crushed the Heike because
I thought the Genji and Heike

could not exist side by side.

Now, you want the Genji to
fight amongst themselves?

That's what you say now, but...

you killed Kiso Yoshinaka,
a fellow Genji.

Sir Yukiie!

What?

If at all possible... I
wanted to avoid that battle.

But in that battle, Yoshinaka...

That is why...

It was a very sad

battle for me.

I don't wish to have
another battle like it!

Sir Yoshitsune...

I was upset with
my lowly thoughts.

What happened?

What do you mean by that?

For wanting to
crush the feelings

of one who renounced the world.

For thinking of separating
a mother and child,

and taking the child to
Kamakura to Se Lord Yoritomo.

That wicked thought has crossed

my mind for the
past couple days.

That lowly thought upset
me. And it vexed me.

That just shows how badly you
want to see Lord Yoritomo.

Yes.

All you can think about

now is your older brother.

It is truly irritating.

I can't fully express my
sincerity in a letter.

But if it goes through a third
party, it won't be the same.

For returning the Sacred Treasures
to the Monk-Emperor...

For not returning the
official rank to the Court...

I want to explain to him my
reasons for my actions.

Just wait patiently.

I'm sure you'll get a chance.

Meanwhile, Princess Oh,
who is suffering depression,

was troubling the
heart of Lady Masako.

According to Fukai, there are
flowers offered to the grave of

Yoshitaka every so often.

And it always on the monthly
memorial day of his death.

Princess, shall we
go visit his memorial?

Don't spill the water.

Stop.

Are you the ones who have
been offering flowers?

She's Lord Kamakura's wife.
Answer her respectfully.

Tell me why.

Well...

We were ordered by Sir Yoshitsune,
before he left Kamakura.

What?

He told us to offer flowers on
his monthly memorial day.

My Lady!

Uncle Kuro...

I want to see him.

The Princess' words made.

Masako reach a resolution.

It's been a while since the Princess
spoke or voiced her thoughts.

It's probably her first words
since Yoshitaka was executed.

She said she wants to see Sir Kuro?

Yes.

She's seeking Kuro's help.

If she sees Kuro, she may be
healed of her depression.

Sir Kuro, huh?

In addition to his
charisma, he has

the ability to
heal ailed hearts.

Will you call Kuro to Kamakura?

WHAT?

Come up with an excuse...
for the Princess' sake.

If Lord Kamakura finds

out, we'll be in danger.

Besides, the 24 men who received
official ranks from the Court without

his permission are
not allowed to

cross east of
Sunomata River, Mino.

But Kuro's name wasn't listed.

It was a puzzle to Kuro
from Lord Kamakura.

That, although his name was not
listed, he is still included.

It was a silent message to Kuro.

Kuro won't be allowed
to enter Kamakura,

or even cross the Sunomata River.

Then an unexpected situation was

placed in the
Monk-Emperor's hand.

We received word from Kamakura
to send Taira Munemori

and Kiyomune, father
and son to Kamakura.

Which Genji warrior should

we order this assignment to?

I would like to do it.

But those who received
official ranks are not allowed

to cross east of the
Sunomata River.

Kuro's name wasn't
listed, was it?

Yes, you are right.

Kuro.

Yes?

Deliver the father
and son to Kamakura.

Yes, Sire.

Yoshitsune accompanied Munemori

and Kiyomune to Kamakura.

His fervent desire to talk with.

Yoritomo served as
his driving force.

Why didn't Yoritomo

list Kuro's name?

That's true.

Perhaps Yoritomo was

testing Yoshitsune.

What do you mean?

How will Yoritomo
treat Yoshitsune,

who holds an official rank?

That's going to affect
us tremendously, too.

Are you going to use
Kuro to test Yoritomo?

It appears that Yoritomo

likes to test people, too.

Kofuku-ji Temple is demanding
custody of Taira Shigehira.

What does it say in their letter?

That they want custody of Taira
Shigehira, who destroyed Nara.

The contents are the same
as the other letters, but...

they seem more forceful
in their intonation.

It says that if we deny their
request, then they will send

their warrior monks
to attack Kamakura.

It won't be difficult to kill
the warrior monks of Nara,

but it's not a battle that
we should engage in.

Fighting with the temple
will only bring trouble later.

Kiyomori had a problem with
them, thus diminishing his power.

IZU

Taira Shigehira was
living in Izu,

under Yoritomo's protection.

Taira Yorimori, who pleaded for
Yoritomo's life in the past

and had later come to Kamakura,
paid him a sudden visit.

Uncle, I had heard by rumors
that you had come to Kamakura.

I didn't flee from Kyoto with my.

Heike members nor
engage in battle.

In short, I betrayed the Heike.

Uncle.

I abandoned the Heike and sought
help from the enemy, Lord Kamakura.

You were a Heike, but
were not treated as such.

Let us forget about it.

I see.

Let us rejoice over our

meeting here, far from Kyoto.

What is it?

Nothing.

Uncle.

Actually...

I heard that Lord Kamakura is in

a predicament with
Kofuku-ji Temple.

They are demanding to have

you turned over to them.

I see.

He's been turning
them down, but...

Kofuku-ji Temple is
refusing to back down.

I'll go to Kofuku-ji Temple.

Will you really?

Yes.

Are you sure?

My family members have
drowned in the western seas...

there isn't much I can do
alone in the eastern province.

If I can't meet my family

members in this world anymore...

My mother is dead, too.

Shigehira!

Sukemori...

Sir Tomomori...

Please forgive me!

Please forgive me!

Uncle.

We received word from Shigehira

in Izu that he wants to go to.

Kofuku-ji Temple in Nara.

I see.

We received word from Kyoto
on Taira-no-Munemori and Kiyomune.

The Monk-Emperor ordered Kuro
to deliver them to Kamakura.

Sir Kuro has already left Kyoto.

Kuro is coming?

Judging by the date of this letter,
it appears that Kuro and his party

may have already crossed
the Sunomata River.

Those who received official ranks
are not allowed to cross it.

I guess Kuro didn't
get the message.

My father told me about Kuro.

Please allow Kuro to come in.

Kuro's name was not listed as
one who cannot cross the river.

So in formality, there's

nothing wrong with it.

Kuro has entered
Sagami, hasn't he?

He should be in the
area of Sakawa River.

You seem to be at a loss as
to what to do with Kuro.

If I may speak up...

You must not let
him enter Kamakura.

Everyone is watching to
see what you will do.

If you allow him
to enter Kamakura...

we will not be able to set an
example with the other Gokenin.

It is to solidify the
future of Kamakura.

SAKAWA RIVER, SAGAMI PROVINCE

Yoshitsune's party was near.

Kamakura, by Sakawa River.

Insolent!

I am Yorikane, a Gokenin
vassal to Lord Kamakura.

Lord Kamakura, did you say?

Yes, indeed.

This is Lord Kamakura's younger
brother, Kuro Yoshitsune.

Per Lord Kamakura's order,
I am en-route to delivering.

Taira Shigehira to Kofuku-ji
Temple in Nara.

We have stopped over
during our break.

Your delivering Sir Shigehira?

Shigehira!

I heard that you are alive.

There aren't many of us left.

Did you see Mother die?

Yes, I did.

And?

She jumped into the sea with
His Majesty in her arms.

Sir Tomomori died with arrows
shot throughout his body.

He died bravely.

It's all my fault, isn't it?

No. It was just our fate.

Are you being sent to Nara?

Yes.

Which means...

This will be our eternal farewell.

Kiyomune, take care

of my older brother.

I will.

Sir Kuro, please

take care of him.

Yes.

Yoshitsune was thinking about
the situation with the brothers,

Munemori and Shigehira, as he

thought about
Yoritomo and himself.

The next day, Yoshitsune

headed for Kamakura.

But at Koshigoe, at the
outskirts of Kamakura...

Why, Sir Tokimasa...

I haven't seen you
since we last parted.

Thank you for coming
out to greet us.

I'm here to accept deliverance
of Sirs Munemori and Kiyomune.

Accept deliverance?

Sir Kuro, please stay here in Koshigoe.

What?

Only Sirs Munemori and Kiyomune will
be accompanied into Kamakura.

Why?

Kamakura is so close!

Why are you telling
us to stay here?

We are here to deliver Munemori
under the Monk-Emperor's order.

Are you going to defy His Majesty?

SILENCE!

Sir Kuro.

It is Lord Kamakura's order.

LORD!

We're in Koshigoe. Once we

cross here, we'll
be in Kamakura.

It appears we won't be
allowed to enter Kamakura.

Yoshitsune felt Yoritomo's

very strong will.

Scenes from the next episode.
