Toei Company Presents

1600 in Sekigahara

.

In the 16th century, Japan was a warring nation.

This is a story about young boys born and raised in that period.

Sasuke and His Comedians

That way!

That way!

Cast

NAKAMURA Kinnosuke

This is mine. Don't take it.

L-L-Let's bet!

I bet on this guy.

I-I bet on that guy.

Me too.

Look!

He's strong!

Let's go! Hey!

- Thank you. - Don't mention it.

Directed by: KATO Tai

Hey, don't cry.

I don't know who you are, but don't cry.

- What? - My assistance fee.

What?

It's not volunteer work, you know.

He is so pitiful. The last war killed all his family.

Is it my fault?

You're an adult right? Adults are all responsible.

So it's your fault, too!

- There are all kinds of adults. - But you don't look special, right, guys?

Maybe I don't.

Alright! Take anything you want.

What?

Oh!

Wait!

- Let go of me! - Don't push yourself!

My dad's dead and my brother was gunned down.

From now, Tokugawa will rule. I prefer death to dishonor.

Kakei Juzo, at the age of 19...

Hey, that's a keepsake from my mother!

Come on. You'll die anyway.

Get off me!

Bro, why don't you team up with us?

What?

We don't serve neither Tokugawa nor Toyotomi.

Team up with thieves? I'm a samurai!

Y-y-you said you don't have a f-f-family.

Same as us, if you're an orphan. Right?

Yep!

Why don't you join us?

Hey, Mister.

- Committing suicide may be better. - What?

According to Tokugawa's policy, samurai from the west like you...

...won't be employable anywhere from here on out.

W-What?

I just came back from the East-side headquarters.

An old guy, Ieyasu, said so.

- Who the heck are you? - Come down!

I'm Sasuke aka Lone monkey Sasuke.

I'm Zukunyu Seiji from Miyoshi village.

I-I-I...

He's Stammer Isa, my brother.

I'm also his henchman, Otter Roku.

- I'm Flying-squirrel Okiri. - Nezu Jinpachi!

Wait, wait.

Boy!

You're asking me if I'm Koga or Iga, right?

Neither. I was bom with my powers.

What?

You don't believe me. I know.

I can read others' minds.

Fourteen years ago, deep into the mountains in Shinshu...

...a huge shooting star with a long white trail fell down.

The meteor's radiation affected baby Sasuke's body!

One year later...

I'm numb!

After grandparents died, I became completely alone.

I vanished myself at will and read others' minds.

Everybody thought I was creepy and ignored me.

I totally understand. It is bothersome.

You guys don't believe me, huh?

It's fine. I'm okay by myself.

- You believe me, don't you? - Yes...

'Cause you're still a little kid.

But you'll soon change.

Bye.

Hey, wait!

A strange fellow.

- But, I kind of understand him. - Yeah.

Brother!

How did you know?

I have a good sense of smell.

Why are you following me?

I like you.

- Seems to be true. - Yes...

- But don't fall for me. - Why not?

- You'll soon come to hate me. - No, I won't!

Sit down.

Look.

People's mind change.

I've seen a heck of a lot of it.

You'll also come to dislike me and...

I won't!

Suppose that it happens.

You know...

...] can read your mind completely.

So, if it happens, I won't be able to bear it.

So...

«.I'm better off alone.

From the beginning...

Ten plus years later...

No one...

Okiri, later known as Kumogakure Saizo

...knows about his birth or breed.

Why do I have...

...to long for him so much?

Roku, later Unno Rokuro ...to long for him so much?

...to long for him so much?

Okiri, who are you singing about?

What?

Nezu Jinpachi

Nezu Jinpachi You're always singing that song.

It's someone I miss.

Kakei Juzo Probably it's best you don't know, Roku.

Seiji, later Miyoshi Seikai Nyudo

Seiji, later Miyoshi Seikai Nyudo He's thinking it's about him...

Izo, Miyoshi Isa Nyudo

Izo, Miyoshi Isa Nyudo M-me, m-me...

Izo, Miyoshi Isa Nyudo Are you saying it's about you?

Are you saying it's about you?

I don't think it's about me.

Of course not.

But Okiri, now that I've reached puberty...

Oh, really? The kid who cried in Sekigahara?

It's natural for kids to cry. It's not shameful.

Okiri, so who is it?

I can't remember. It's been too long.

Ah, I'm hungry!

When you see someone, consider him a demon.

When you see a demon, consider it yourself.

Yesterday's friend could be today's enemy.

Yesterday's enemy is also today's enemy.

Yuri Kamanosuke Yesterday's enemy is also today's enemy.

Look between your legs, and the world is upside down.

Put on a smile and stab your master!

Sarutobi Sasuke

Wow.

The caterpillar tumed into a butterfly.

I smelled something nostalgic.

It might just be me.

Hey, hey. Come here and listen.

The peace we've had since the decisive battle of Sekigahara...

...may be quickly coming to an end again.

The situation is highly volatile. Listen!

All 60 plus states in the country, and even trees and grass look up to Tokugawa...

But that's just a facade.

And his real pain in the neck is...

Toyotomi Hideyori in Osaka.

Although his power is on the decline...

...Toyotomi has fortune and fame.

Among his many loyal followers...

Stop!

Stop!

Stop spreading dark rumors against the Tokugawa family.

Run! Run away!

Oh, excuse me. Have you seen a puppeteer?

He went that way.

- I see. Hurry! - Yes, sirl

They're gone.

Free speech is in danger!

Where are you going now?

I travel without a destination with a guitar.

Can I go with you?

Wait!

Bastard!

Making a move on a samurai's wife...

- Huh? - You're prepared, I presume?

No, no way.

I'm not so hard up for women as to fight with someone.

So, go ahead!

How rude!

- But that won't do... - Oh, don't worry about that!

That'll get me in trouble.

Hey! What are you doing?

- Let me do it. - I'll do it!

- Get out of the way! - Wait!

I'm hungry...

I'll take responsibility.

Now I remember. The smell from Sekigahara.

Sasuke!

Okiri, am I right?

Long time no see.

Can you still read minds?

Interesting work you do.

I've been doing many things for survival.

How about you?

I'm still alone. As always.

- See you. - Sasuke!

She's here!

We were worried about you, Okiri.

- I've seen this guy before... - Everybody's grown up!

Good boys!

What? You bastard!

He just helped me with his ninja art.

Oh, you did!?

- You are Lone Monkey! - Oh, it's been a long time.

You're no stranger, then.

G-G-Gr...

Hey!

Great to see you alive and well!

How about having him join us? Alright, everyone?

Indeed! We could sure use your ninja art.

Yes!

Is it okay, Sasuke?

I say no!

Thank you for your kindness, but I'm better off alone.

You're a happy woman loved by everyone.

Sasuke, but I...

That's Otter Roku, right? Just look at him.

He is desperately in love with you.

Heaven would punish me.

Sasuke!

Sasuke! Wait!

Yes he's right! I love Okiri!

And so what? What's wrong with that?

Maintaining a group is...

Yes?

.Difficult, isn't it?

T-t-this is all he had!

- Can't be helped. - Let's get going.

But where are we going?

Well, if we're going, it should be to Osaka.

Well, howdy.

I'll tell you what. At this rate, a conflict between the East and the West will break out soon.

Many samurai wanting action are moving to Osaka now.

Money is also moving.

Let's go!

Alright!

When I served Governor Konishi I had 200 people under my power.

So when I'm hired, I'd like to have at least 300 people.

Hey, hey, excuse me.

I want 500 people...

Oh, somry, sorry! I beg you.

Your requests have been noted.

But as you know, we don't have enough soldiers.

- Why not use farmers? - We'll do our best!

- Please forgive me! - What are you saying?

- Come on. - I live in poverty with a wife and kid.

If I'm not at home...

You don't have to take poor peasants like me!

According to Governor Ono Shuri, poor men make better soldiers.

Come on!

Get off me!

What are you doing? Please let me go!

- Have mercy! - What are you talking about?

I'm begging you!

Stop whimpering!

- Please, I beg you... Have mercy on me! - Get up!

Please! I beg you!

- Stand up! Don't be a sissy. - Hey!

- Who the heck are you, filthy fella? - What?

Can't you see he doesn't want to go?

Don't you know anything?

These guys are going to be soldiers of Toyotomi Hideyori...

Wait!

Hey, hey!

Who cares about Toyotomi? We're not samurai.

Us, sons of peasants...

Hideyori.

I don't care about Hideyori or whoever.

How insolent! Arrest him!

Acting tough, huh?

- Go! Do it! - Alright, let's go.

They're totally unpredictable.

You guys are shaky. I can't watch it.

Hey, we didn't ask for your help.

But you said a good thing.

Bastards! Arrest them!

There's no need to hurt them.

Hey! They're Tokugawa's spies!

You guys go home now.

- Why did you do that? - What?

We're tired of being poor peasants, eating hardly anything.

That's why we decided to fight in a war.

You don't know how we feel, do you?

I do.

Damn! More are coming.

Kimura Shigenari Gentlemen, resistance is futile!

Kimura Shigenari

We are going to arrest you all. Resistance is futile.

Hey, give me food!

Excuse me, Mister. Well...

You bastard!

Don't laugh at us!

- Please, untie us. - Huh?

Excuse me.

Sanada Yukimura

Anayama Kosuke

Oh, they look interesting, exactly as I thought.

- Right, Kosuke? - Yes, sir.

Damn you!

Shigenari told me what you did.

- How about joining me? - What?

Actually, Hideyori is strongly urging me to join him in Osaka.

For 500,000 koku.

If we win, that is.

So, I'm looking for excellent soldiers. But it's not easy...

Who can trust that story?

No, he's being sincere.

We have a fat chance of winning.

Plus if you have no obligation towards Toyotomi, joining him would be foolish or crazy.

But look!

So many foolish and crazy people are heading towards the castle.

They're a worthless bunch under Tokugawa's rule.

Such people come together to try their luck. That's what's going on.

But what if Toyotomi defeats Tokugawa?

You can't say there'll be no change.

Because on Toyotomi's side, Hideyori is still young.

Also, they don't have particular feudal lords to depend on.

So, a substantial portion of the army will consist of masterless samurais from many countries.

A-a-and peasants!

That is to say...us.

So, if we win this war, the form of the next government is...

«.Unknown. That does sound attractive.

Um... I want to dream big.

Everyone fights for their own purpose. That's what a war is.

Mochizuki Rokuro

Oh, thanks.

Sir, in Osaka Castle are Goto Matabe Mototsugu with 6000 soldiers...

...Ban Daemon Naoyuki with 4000 soldiers and Chosakabe Morichika with 6000 soldiers.

As I expected, they're all small fish. And what about the city?

Yes, it's very lively!

After all, Osaka is a city for merchants., Commerce should be free.

Contrary to the ways of Tokugawa.

Anyway, I'd regard city people as Toyotomi supporters.

At least for now...

Well, it's time.

Now, come if you want. Don't come otherwise.

The Sanada Troop!

Let's part.

Nezu Jinpachi, I'm in!

So flippant...

"They will lose the war". That's what he thinks.

What?

If he's gonna die, he wants to die as a hero.

A hero...

- Hey. I-I... - Igotit.

What?

I-I-I... made a bet.

Hey, that's filthy.

I was thinking that it might be the last chance.

This busy era when everybody has a chance to be a general is coming to an end.

For 19 years since I was born, I had been a samurai until the Battle of Sekigahara.

I'll go too!

But for 14 years since then, I've been nothing. As if I've been dead.

I want to be something more than that. I want to die as somebody.

I'm thinking about writing arecord of this war in Osaka.

It'll be big. I'm sure it will.

What did you do that for?

Ah, it's you! Hey, Isa!

- Hey, where's everybody? - 0-over there!

Hey! There they are!

Hey!

I felt like coming too.

Huh? Is it a red light?

- Where is Sarutobi Sasuke? - He vanished again.

I don't get him.

He's very useful, though.

Hip, hip, hurray!

Hey, let's do that, too! Follow me. Hip, hip...!

Stop that. You're embarrassing me.

Oda Nobunaga sang that...

...people live for only 50 years.

It's like a dream or iflusion.

But I don't care if it is.

I want to do what I want.

I want to die cool!

People live only 50 years.

But I want to die cool!

October, 1614 But I want to die cool!

Goto Matabe Mototsugu

Castle top tanking officers: Oda Yurakusai Ono Michihiro

Regent of Osaka Castle: Ono Shurinosuke Harunaga

Toyotomi Hideyori

His mother, Yodo-gimi

Ouch!

It's Sasuke, right? I've been waiting for you.

Mr. Yukimura.

Mr.? I prefer "Captain.”

We're starting a strategy meeting. Come with me.

Oh, thank you.

Defend the castle! Defend it above all else!

I concur!

Objection! Launch an attack!

Attack, we insist!

I concur with Goto.

Silence. Hey, shut up!

Mr. Goto, don't you have faith in the robustness of this castle?

We should just defend ourselves in this world's greatest castle.

No, that's wrong!

Of course, if we defend the castle we won't lose. But, can we win?

Offense is the best defense!

You are so old-school. Something like a duel is no longer...

- You've gotta lay your life on the line, you know? - They're many, we're few.

500,000 vs. 100,000 men.

- Are you saying we're going to lose? - Who said that? Tell me who? Tell me!

Captain.

These people aren't serious about fighting.

I thought so...

Sasuke, don't fall down...

Mr. Yukimura, what are you mumbling about?

What? Well... I say you aren't serious about fighting.

- H-How rude! - Preposterous!

No, he is right!

I - Yes! I agree!

Quiet down.

Now this Osaka castle is being gradually surrounded...

...by troops from 64 states led by Tokugawa Hidetada.

General Ieyasu has also already left Sunpu...

...50, we don't have time to get emotional.

It's time to make a decision. Defense or offense?

Sir!

Go ahead.

I'm for offense. I propose a surprise attack.

Huh? A surprise attack in a battle for justice?

Let me finish.

If many troops from different cultures are packed in a small area...

...naturally, they won't be able to move nimbly.

We will exploit this weakness.

That is, all our troops will attack in ambush from the hills.

I totally agree on the enemy's weakness. They are like sheep without a shepherd.

Yes! I concur!

- Let's attack! - Yeah!

- That's why we have to defend. - How come?

If we're united in a fight against the group of diverse troops...

...someday, the enemy will certainly fall apart.

They might. But they might not.

What?

With due respect, father, our side is also diverse.

The majority of the castle soldiers are masterless samurais of unknown origin...

...and peasants who don't know how to use the sword.

Mr. Yukimura...

...what you said is correct.

But a surprise attack would be the last resort. It's a gamble. All or nothing.

It's beautiful, but risky.

Can we win without taking any risk?

- War is... - War changes with the times.

You mean I'm old school?

I, Shurinosuke, at this point, can't agree, as Regent.

I say...

I'm impressed by your loyalty to the late shogun...

Mother, please be quiet.

They're all cowards!

Mr. Yukimura.

You have a good group of men.

Sasuke.

I can't read his mind.

Even you can't?

His mind is completely still.

I can't read it unless there's movement.

By the way, Captain...

...are you going to defend the castle?

You're about to give up, aren't you? A decision is a decision.

I don't like to give up before trying.

I came here to fight.

I won't lay my life on the line for Toyotomi.

But I will for me... For us!

You said so, didn't you?

That we are a worthless bunch in this day and age.

I've always wanted to risk my life for something.

If I can, I might find out the reason for my life.

Its true significance.

A good result will speak for itself.

Are you ready? It's show time.

Enemies!

Listen, I am Sanada Yukimura, known as the best man in Osaka Castle!

Get him!

Catch me if you can!

Todo Takatora killed in combat! He's been killed!

Uesugi Kaikatsu double-crossed!

Hey, Uesugi Kaikatsu was double-crossed.

Uesugi Kaikatsu double-crossed!

Date Masamune ran away!

Date Masamune ran away!

The general met his fate!

He's dead. Your general died!

- W-we did it! - Hey, what's going on?

You are fine.

Wait! Suspicious fellows.

Arrest them!

Arrest them!

Hey, come on, guys! Don't push, don't push.

Damn it!

That's Ieyasu's headquarters.

Storm it!

Ieyasu, we've come to help!

Hattori Hanzo and his army

Don't look at his eyes. Hold your sword up!

Damn it!

I have a worthy opponent.

I'm happy.

Leave the rest to me and run!

- But Sasuke... - Don't worry.

Here you go!

We are young. And have no position or money.

So, who cares? We can give it a shot!

Hey, 1, 2,3, 4,5, 6, 10. 10 of us should be enough!

Hey! The Sanada Troop's work was splendid!

It's most regrettable that I couldn't fight alongside.

Mr. Shigenari, how about a drink?

- I feel like I had a weight lifted off my chest. - Huh?

Now, the leaders can't oppose the Sanada Troop anymore.

Just watch me! I can do it, too!

Hey! Where's Mr. Yukimura?

- He's in a meeting - What?!

Does it hurt?

But at last, I'm just like everyone else...

Now that I met a guy I can't use my trick on.

Everybody fights at the risk of their life, but I can always use my trick to win.

That doesn't count as risking my life, right?

This wound tells me that I'm finally one of you now.

You are not alone anymore aren't you?

Now, let's go join the others.

For 14 years, I've been thinking about you.

Only about you.

Sasuke, I'll do anything for you.

Anything at all.

I don't need a war or friends.

What I want is you.

Only you!

Okiri, this is no good.

If you go with me...

...someday you'll hate me.

I don't care about the future. Now... I want you now!

Overall, the Sanada Troop deserves credit. But it's wrong to give them all the credit.

At the same time, 120,000 soldiers defended the castle,

which made the Sanada Troop's work safer and easier.

We cannot disregard their efforts.

Taking that view, this time we won't give any special honor.

That's the final decision reached at the meeting.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Sanadal Hey! Yukimura!

Do you understand?

It's true that our engagement resulted in a success this time.

But what would happen if everyone else tries to emulate your troop...

...and go off on their own to make a name for themselves? Huh?

If 120,000 soldiers ignore our command...

Yukimura, our engagement was originally aresponse to an aggression...

...but if we sally forth, what would others think?

That's right!

This is exactly what the enemy would like us to do, huh?

To us allies, it'd be a betrayal.

- Betrayal? - It could be considered as such.

So, you should consider it an extremely lenient judgment.

His majesty's leniency, that is.

Thank you.

I think you did a splendid job...

Mother!

What's that?

Follow me!

Attack!

Matabei is too old for this. He's trying too hard.

Watch out!

He fell from his horse.

- Mr. Kimura went to help. - How stupid!

They should have known that the enemy would be on alert.

Mr. Yukimura! Mr. Yukimura! Did you see that?

Look at that! This is a result of your troop's work.

- But it's not our fault that they copied us! - W-what?!

Oh, my apologies.

How irresponsible!

- Irresponsible! - Yes, irresponsible!

Father!

Shut up, youngster!

Anyone supporting the enemy is also our enemy!

Sasuke!

Where has he gone? Sasuke!

Princess Sen

Quiet down.

That's unfit even for girls.

Hey, you are cool, aren't you?

Excuse me.

Say, be my friend, okay?

Come on!

The subsequent days saw no battle.

It's canceled today, too.

It's canceled. Canceled!

Hey, you! Pay up.

Halt!

Hip, hip, hurray!

Hip, hip, hurray!

Damn it! They're just going through the motions.

It's no fun.

It's driving me crazy!

Hey, let's do something fun, huh?

Hey. What's wrong, Roku?

Huh?

Loving someone is a fleeting thing.

It must be fate that causes a person to love someone

I won't give up.

What?

This is no war.

If they don't want to battle they shouldn't start.

What the heck are the top ranks doing?

I'll find out what they're up to.

I'll read their mind thoroughly.

What good will it do?

I know what you want to say.

You're right.

My tricks have made me unhappy up to now.

But now, I want to use them to help everybody.

Now, I think I can do that.

You understand that, don't you, Okiri?

You aren't old enough!

So, on these conditions, Tokugawa wants to make peace with us?

No, the lord is taking a hard-line stance.

He doesn't care about the masterless samurai, but the moats of this castle.

We don't need the samurai once peace is established.

We'd just as soon get rid of them.

However, Toyotomi's territory needs to be maintained.

I must be going.

We'll reply at a later date.

Alright?

Everyone!

What do you like about such indecent, decadent and unhealthy singing and dancing?

We must cherish music that will give us energy...

«for future wars and hope for a bright future.

Are you ready?

One, two, three!

We solemnly pledge loyalty to our lord.

Parents, love your children.

Couples, love each other.

The deal is going well.

You want to say we're the only ones fighting, don't you?

That's my job. It can't be helped.

It's fate.

- Fate? - Exactly.

Both you and I have great talent, but we're hired hands after all.

Risking our lives for something worthless.

- A pitiful fellow you are. - Pitiful?

Yeah. I'm doing this for myself.

Nobody asked me. I'm doing it for us.

So, we only need to sacrifice our outer moats, right?

That's right. If we can settle on these terms, I'd say it's a win.

Yes, a big win.

- Then, those masterless samurai... - Of course, we'll fire them.

That's what life is.

- I..IL. I - It's not fun at all, right?

Now, it's time to fight.

What's wrong?

Pregnant?

Think about it. Why do they keep pretending to fight?

Tokugawa wants to use this war as an excuse

to make the feudal lords waste their money, to clip their wings.

It'd be bad for them if the castle is taken over easily.

Even Toyotomi's top ranks...

Well, you know that better than me.

- You're forgetting something important, Hanzo. - Huh?

People who fight are not top ranks, but us. It's up to us!

You're still young...

- What's wrong with that? - You'll find out soon.

Top guys and lowly ones live in different worlds.

I don't care about ranks.

Come on! One on one!

No need to hurry.

Even if they make peace, Tokugawa will eventually try to destroy Toyotomi.

See you later.

Tomorrow, 4 o'clock in the morning, all troops from both sides are to come up to fight.

But of course, it's a pretend fight as usual.

Theyll say the battle was well fought, and decide to make peace right after.

It's a deal at the top level,

I'm against the peace treaty.

If they make peace here, what did we fight for?

Who'd not get upset about this?

Hey guys, let's ruin the peace treaty!

Tomorrow, how about storming their headquarters once again?

About this plan, I already secretly obtained approval from Goto Matabei and Kimura Shigenari.

If their troop follow us, the others will probably follow too.

It'll be quite chaotic.

We won't know what'll come out of it until we try.

This will be risky.

I had you join me expecting great things from you.

But you're free to do whatever you want.

Join if you want. Don't, otherwise.

Don't tag along for the sake of tagging along.

Got it?

Hip, hip, hurray!

December, 16th, 1615

Hip, hip, hurray!

Don't you think it's about time?

Yes, sir.

- Halt! - Halt!

Halt!

There is a messenger from the enemy.

- Roll out the red carpet for him. - Yes, sirl

Okay? Understood?

A messenger is coming!

Hurry up!

Wait!

I, Sanada Yukimura, can't accept the treaty!

W-What?

What is that? That!

I'm Sanada Saimonnosuke Yukimural

I object to the treaty!

We will attack the enemy now!

If you agree with me, follow me!

Follow him!

The treaty is not good for us. Destroy it!

Yeah! The treaty is a conspiracy at the top level.

This is the last chance to kill it!

Hobos! Peasants! Follow the Sanada Troop!

Follow us! Follow the Sanada Troop!

Let's go!

I made a promise. It'll be a repeat of the other day.

Please don't go, Captain.

Shuri! What do we do? What do we do, Shuri?

The Sanada Troop is charging ahead!

Calm down.

The number of troops following the Sanada Troop seems to be small...

Shuri!

Why don't you exploit this chance and attack in full force?

- Give orders to the rifle squad. - Yes, sir.

Remove the Sanada Troop at all cost. Shoot them if they resist.

Shuri!

Hurry up!

- Yes, sir. - Shuri, that's very...

Hey, hey!

The enemy is breaking up now.

Come with me!

Hey!

Hey! Our rifle squads have come with us!

Fire!

Bastards!

Kahei!

Did you betray us?

Fire! Fire!

What?

The regent ordered us to eliminate the Sanada Troop.

Fire!

Damn it! Run away!

Sasuke!

Sasuke!

Ookiri!

Sasuke...

Sasuke...

Are you okay, Okiri?

Sasuke...

We're almost there. Hang in there!

Sasuke will come soon too!

Shuri, I finally got it.

The reason why I couldn't read your mind.

You have no heart!

You're a beast, a monster!

No, a machine!

You may be right.

Do you fight with your heart, though?

- Not just a battle, but life in general. - Don't mess with me!

I don't want you to talk about battles.

The ones fighting are us, ordinary people.

We have hearts and red blood.

But I, without a heart, have won as expected.

What?

If you have no heart are you fine with this? It doesn't move you any way?

Now I'm beginning to see your mind.

The mind that never flinched...

...is beginning to move.

- You're a pitiful man. - What?

Why didn't everybody follow your reckless attack?

Even though you said it was for hobos and peasants, why didn't they follow you?

Had they set their mind to it, we couldn't have deterred them.

But that didn't happen.

The one that regrets it the most is probably me.

I don't get it.

Shuri, who are you?

Who the heck are you?

I've always been an organizer, a restrainer.

But, no, that's why I long for the day when, even with my all best...

...I can't pull together or restrain people.

Even though I think it will never come...

...I've been longing for that day.

Sarutobi.

Here's friendly advice. Take off.

Hanzo...

You bastard!

Your comrades are dying left and right. Your lady too probably is...

What?

Okiri miscarried her baby.

They were all fantastic men.

They were all very unique.

Sasuke!

Ookiri!

Their name was the 10 brave Sanada warriors.

Before the Battle of Sekigahara, we didn't know.

Before we defended the castle, we didn't know.

We, young fellows, didn't know this would happen to us.

We didn't know this would happen to us.

We didn't know this would happen to us.

Smoothing our long hair down...

...we sigh like a dying man.

We are the famous 10 brave warriors.

The 10 brave Sanada warriors.

Whether we go east or west...

...there are enemies everywhere.

We can picture our comrades, sobbing in their graves...

Sobbing in their graves...

I won't withdraw now!

Damn it!

Oh, it's you people.

You're here to arrest us, right?

We're very sony.

Somehow, recently...

Next year (1615), Spring Somehow, recently...

.I've been tired.

Damn it!

Dad, we won, didn't we?

What?

- Since the Toyotomi's have been saved like this. - Yeah, I guess.

But Tokugawa didn't suffer any damage.

When they didn't lose, can we say we won?

New battles are like that. That's how it is.

- You hear me? - Ouch!

Don't take it out on me.

Sasuke, how long are you going to wait?

I've been working hard, but...

...I'm often absent-minded.

Kind words don't satisfy me.

I can't help crying.

Hey, dear, please do something about it.

Should I take a wife?

Captain!

Are you alright now, Okiri?

This is from Princess Sen.

Oh, thank you.

And this...

...is from me.

It makes me cry. You look particularly beautiful today.

I got this from Princess Sen.

You're a bit too titillating for a man in jail, like myself.

What are those guys doing?

They've been put to hard work.

They've threatened to kill you if someone runs away.

I think you should run away if it comes to that.

No.

My being here now will be worth something in the future.

It'll give me some prestige.

What's going on?

Hey, Kimural What's going on here?

By Tokugawa's order, they started filling up the outer moats.

What? The castle will be defenseless.

What?

According to the Tokugawa's officer, the term specified all moats, not just outer ones.

Since it was all done verbally...

How absurd!

Where is Urakusai?

He's nowhere to be seen.

This is going to be the end of Osaka Castle.

Yeah, it's going to be. Damn...

Damn! They got tricked by Tokugawa.

Oda Urakusai double crossed them for a big sum, I bet.

- Mr. Shuri will have to be held responsible for this. - Ah, I don't know what to do.

I'm not amused at all. Make him take responsibility.

- Damn it! - Take responsibility!

So, we have no chance to win, do we?

We'll perish no matter what, won't we?

Osen, understand?

You're Tokugawa's daughter, but once you married into our family...

Right, it can't be helped.

That's a matter of course, you know.

A matter of course is amatter of course.

What did you say?

Hide, in the first place, you...

I...

I've always been bored.

People in a position like mine probably feel the same.

I've even wanted time to fly fast and Osaka Castle to be destroyed by fire.

- Princess Sen. - Yes?

Could you go see your grandfather as a messenger?

What?

No! Of course, she shouldn't!

Because she shouldn't even breathe?

Hide!

You think that Tokugawa wouldn't return Sen to us, right?

But that'd be fine.

At least, Sen would live that way...

- Hide, you... - Can'tl save the woman I love?

It could possibly soften the Shogun's mind.

Hideyori, you changed my mind. I'll stay with you.

Osen...

I understand. Let me think of another way.

Who the heck are you?

Mr. Shuri.

This time, there is no other way but to go and fight, right?

- I don't know. - Would you put us in command?

Hey, guys! Will you fight with us?

Yeah!

But it's too late.

I know. We can't fight with the castle unprotected.

But this time, we'll fight our own battle by ourselves.

There are times when foreseeing the future isn't enough.

Won't you give me a chance for crowning glory?

Crowning glory, huh?

April 1615, The battle of Osaka began.

On April 29th, Kashii and Shima Daemon died in action.

On May 5th, Goto Matabe died in action at Mt. Komatsu.

On the next day (6th), Kimura Shigenari died in action at Tamagushi River.

On the 7th, the final battle at Tennou Temple took place.

It's magic! Plug your ears!

But I can't hear your orders then.

Who cares?! Just charge ahead!

Ready, aim!

Hey!

Hey!

Is there anybody from the Sanada Troop?

Hey, wait!

Who the heck are you? State your name!

I'm Sanada Saemonnosuke Yukimural

- What? Did you hear that? - Yes, I did!

- He doesn't look dignified. - He must be a double!

Fools! I'm Sanada himself!

Liar!

Don't be a fool!

- That's Yukimura? - Don't bother with this guy.

Hey! Wait! Don't go!

This is so uncool.

Oda Nobunaga sang that people live for only 50 years.

It's like a dream or illusion. But I don't care if it is.

I want to do what I want.

I want to die cool!

People live only 50 years, but I want to die cool!

On the same day...

...Osaka Castle was destroyed by a fire.

In this changing world...

...the Sanada Troops are mere clowns.

However, the people closest to my heart...

...may have been them.

It's getting hot...

It's hot.

It's hot!

How beautiful it is!

I wonder if my husband died...

- He should've run away with us. - Impossible.

Sasuke's powers barely saved only us.

He was a nice guy...

Is this the end of everything?

Even our dreams?

Hey!

Sakazaki Dewa-no-Mori

I knew you were Princess Sen. Thank Goodness!

Come.

They saved my life.

Oh, then, the Tokugawa family owes them.

And I do, too.

Actually, your grandfather said that...

...the one who brought back the princess could marry her.

So, all the single guys are excited.

So, what about me, Princess?

That sort of thing...

...can wait until later.

Oh, sorry about that. Shall we go?

Wait a moment.

I want you to come to Edo with us. Is that okay?

Of course, please do.

But...

Come on! You can marry him then.

But...

Sasuke? Where are you?

Sasuke!

Sasuke!

Sasuke...

You're here, right? Please, let me see you.

Yes... You read my mind, right?

Right, I want to go to Edo. And the two of us can have a calm and peaceful life...

What's wrong with that?

You can't allow it? What's wrong with wanting happiness?

Sorry to tell you this, but you got dumped.

Sorry, Sasuke.

I won't go to Edo. I'll never think about it. So, please forgive me. Please Sasuke...

Ma'am, let us escort you.

- No! - Come with us.

No! Sasuke!

Sasuke!

Sasuke!

Sasuke!

Please find happiness.

Forget about the bastard that peeks into your mind.

I can't help it, Okiri.

Sasuke!

Ookiri!

Sarutobi...

I want to have it out with you. Come!

What for?

I have nothing to do anymore. My powers are useless in peaceful times.

Can you imagine me as an officer?

You're pitiful.

So are you.

Very well.

I have nothing to do in this world either.

What's going to happen from now on?

I wonder if they died or survived.

Those guys won't die easily though.

I might run into them again someday.

It'll probably happen.

If to be or not to be is a question...

...to be alone or to be together is a question.

If I'm not alone, we can't be together.

If we're not together...

The End
