1
00:00:15,290 --> 00:00:17,170
You can break a single arrow.
2
00:00:17,540 --> 00:00:23,550
But, if you have three arrows, even Chiyojumaru cannot break them.
3
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:30,390
You three have to be united by your hearts. Become the three arrows,
4
00:00:32,810 --> 00:00:34,830
and work together as a team.
5
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,340
Brothers work together to protect the Mori.
6
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,260
Motonari, who was caught between great powers,
7
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:45,640
made a desperate diplomatic policy.
8
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,950
He sent his first son, Chiyojumaru,
to the Ouchi as a hostage,
9
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:54,100
and married his first daughter,
Eno, off to his arch-rival, the Shishido.
10
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:58,330
His dear children became shields to protect the Mori.
11
00:00:58,330 --> 00:01:02,800
However, another man was trying to advance to Aki.
12
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,910
I'm going to transfer responsibility for my clan to Akihisa,
13
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:14,300
and attack the Mori.
The Amago have enough power to do everything.

00:03:55,290 --> 00:03:57,600
-- December 1537 (Tenbun 6) --
49
00:03:57,810 --> 00:03:59,570
Fujino, good news!
50
00:03:59,570 --> 00:04:02,340
While the Amago were extending their influence,
51
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:06,230
Motonari had to show his unchanging loyalty to the Ouchi.
52
00:04:06,230 --> 00:04:13,790
He already sent his first son, Chiyojumaru, to
Ouchi Yoshitaka's mansion in Yamaguchi, as a hostage.
53
00:04:13,790 --> 00:04:17,580
Sire, I received a letter from Chiyojumaru.
54
00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:22,820
Sire, he wrote me.
55
00:04:22,820 --> 00:04:25,930
Boys always miss their mothers once they move out.
56
00:04:26,290 --> 00:04:28,620
I haven't received anything.
57
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:31,390
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm getting everything.
58
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,750
Sire.
59
00:04:32,750 --> 00:04:36,900
He said he was welcomed by everyone there.
60
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:42,640
Well, he went there as a hostage,
when the Amago were trying to attack us.
61
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,850
He must be the one who is the most relieved.
62
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,430
Sire.
63
00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:48,600
Oh, here.
64
00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:50,300
Please read here.
65
00:04:50,580 --> 00:04:55,160
Not only Lord Ouchi, but also people in town, praised how Chiyojumaru looked.
66
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,240
I was afraid if they would think him as a mountain monkey.
67
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:02,810
I'm relieved.
68
00:05:02,810 --> 00:05:04,600
Here.
69
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,450
Please read here.
70
00:05:05,450 --> 00:05:10,330
"Yamaguchi is a great place, but there aren't any
women who are as pretty as Sugi-sama."
71
00:05:10,630 --> 00:05:13,160
Chiyojumaru-sama! How honest of him!
72
00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:20,570
I was afraid if he would think of Sugi-sama as a
mountain monkey compared with the women in Yamaguchi.
73
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:22,790
I'm relieved.
74
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:27,280
Hey, Mii.
75
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:29,580
Why are you crying?
76
00:05:29,580 --> 00:05:31,210
Chiyojumaru is all right.
77
00:05:31,450 --> 00:05:32,480
Yes.
78
00:05:35,730 --> 00:05:37,340
You have to write him back.
79
00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:39,700
What shall I write?
80
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:46,380
Fujino had received a secret letter
from someone unexpected.
81
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:52,160
-- OUCHI MANSION (Yamaguchi) --
82
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:35,480
I'm sorry.
83
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,660
-- CHIYOJUMARU --
84
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,160
I am Chiyojumaru, Mori Motonari's first son.
85
00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:41,580
I thought so.
86
00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:44,970
You look a lot like Motonari-dono.
87
00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:46,720
Do you know my father?
88
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,790
-- KAME --
Oh, excuse me.
89
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:51,220
I am Kame, of the Murakami navy.
90
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,610
Your mother told you?
91
00:06:56,610 --> 00:07:00,400
She told me a girl has seduced my father.
92
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:04,560
Men and women are in the same line.
93
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,690
There's no seducer or victim.
94
00:07:09,860 --> 00:07:11,250
Don't worry.
95
00:07:11,810 --> 00:07:15,780
Girls forget everything, if they don't see their men for a year.
96
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,850
Anyway,
97
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,650
you must have come here as a hostage.
98
00:07:20,650 --> 00:07:22,190
Yes.
99
00:07:22,190 --> 00:07:26,290
The lord will become my godfather tonight,
when I reach manhood.
100
00:07:26,290 --> 00:07:28,430
Congratulations.
101
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,910
As you may know, the Ouchi and the Amago
must fight at some future time.
102
00:07:35,910 --> 00:07:38,920
The Mori, who are caught between,
had to send you as a hostage ...
103
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,440
... to get through this crisis.
104
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:44,510
I'm all prepared.
105
00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:46,570
Chiyojumaru-dono.
106
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:53,900
Your father wouldn't do anything to get you killed.
107
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,540
But the Amago will surely rise up against the Mori.
108
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,810
You must be suffering, but your father
is suffering even more.
109
00:08:06,130 --> 00:08:07,180
Kame-dono.
110
00:08:07,890 --> 00:08:12,310
You don't seem to have forgotten about my father.
111
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,670
If the Mori yield to the Amago, your head will be chopped off.
112
00:08:20,670 --> 00:08:22,390
You don't know when you will die.
113
00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:27,150
So you must report the Ouchi's movements
to your father and have him make use of it.
114
00:08:27,150 --> 00:08:31,450
I'm going to do my part admirably. I already know.
115
00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:38,250
You're so serious-minded.
116
00:08:38,670 --> 00:08:42,490
You're making me want to see your father.
117
00:08:44,370 --> 00:08:45,770
Excuse me.
118
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,600
That night,
119
00:08:53,140 --> 00:08:58,120
in December, 1537 (Tenbun 6),
120
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:04,300
the Ouchi clan held a manhood ceremony for Chiyojumaru.
121
00:09:07,710 --> 00:09:12,810
Chiyojumaru received a character from Ouchi Yoshitaka's name.
122
00:09:13,210 --> 00:09:18,760
He changed his name to Mori Shonotaro Takamoto.
123
00:09:38,230 --> 00:09:42,740
-- NAITO OKIMORI --
-- (Ouchi Key Vassal) --
124
00:09:50,510 --> 00:09:52,440
Takamoto-sama.
125
00:09:55,730 --> 00:09:59,870
-- TOSHI --
-- (Naito Okimori's Daughter) --
126
00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:05,810
I am Toshi, Naito Okimori's daughter.
127
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:10,430
My father told me to bring you this mirror.
128
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,810
Naito-dono did?
129
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:18,940
When he reached manhood, he too,
saw himself reflected on the surface of the water.
130
00:10:18,940 --> 00:10:21,540
He said he couldn't see well.
131
00:10:26,530 --> 00:10:28,490
Thank you.
132
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,360
Father.
133
00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:08,830
I am going to Kyoto with the lord soon.
134
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:11,220
-- SUE TAKAFUSA (Ouchi Vassal) --
Because Amago Akihisa is...
135
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:14,350
...steadily extending his influence in national politics.
136
00:11:14,350 --> 00:11:15,880
We cannot let him win.
137
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,260
-- SUE OKIFUSA --
-- (Ouchi Key Vassal, Takafusa's Father) --
138
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:18,850
Don't go to Kyoto.
139
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,440
The Otomo in Kyushu, the Amago in Izumo...
140
00:11:22,970 --> 00:11:24,760
They might invade us while you are gone.
141
00:11:25,420 --> 00:11:27,900
The shogun has no power now.
142
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:30,710
He cannot even suppress the Ikko Sect riots.
143
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:33,730
He's been urging the Ouchi and the Amago to come to Kyoto...
144
00:11:33,730 --> 00:11:36,740
...because he wants us to help him.
145
00:11:36,990 --> 00:11:41,160
Because he has no power, we can juggle him around!
146
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,540
We shouldn't show Kyoto to the lord!!
147
00:11:46,270 --> 00:11:51,730
Kyoto is too elegant and too beautiful.
148
00:11:54,930 --> 00:12:01,190
You and the lord are really getting along.
That makes me so happy.
149
00:12:01,190 --> 00:12:06,430
But, in fact, you two have conflicting personalities.
150
00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:08,800
You are a fighter.
151
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:15,370
The lord is a noble, who loves music and poems more than battles.
152
00:12:15,620 --> 00:12:18,000
You are getting along now.
153
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,490
But, once the lord sees Kyoto, he'll change.
154
00:12:21,490 --> 00:12:23,680
He'll change for sure.
155
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:28,350
If you show him Kyoto, the Ouchi go down!
156
00:12:28,350 --> 00:12:33,370
I'm trying to accomplish something you couldn't, Father.
157
00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:34,960
You're just jealous of me!
158
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,570
What...?
159
00:12:36,820 --> 00:12:41,520
I, Takafusa, will seize power with the lord!
160
00:12:43,170 --> 00:12:46,240
We're going to Kyoto, all right!?
161
00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:55,200
Damn fool...!
162
00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:58,490
-- KORIYAMA CASTLE --
-- (Aki) --
163
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,560
Kayou-dono.
164
00:13:17,780 --> 00:13:24,430
You wrote me and asked me to
recommend you as the lord's vassal.
165
00:13:24,430 --> 00:13:27,610
But I haven't told him anything.
166
00:13:27,610 --> 00:13:29,400
--WATANABE KAYOU --
-- (The Late Suguru's First Son) --
167
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,980
I'm going to take you to the lord now. It's a reckless mission.
168
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:34,240
Yes.
169
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,100
Please promise me once again.
170
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:43,130
You will never avenge your father's death on the lord.
171
00:13:43,130 --> 00:13:48,390
I had already forgotten about vengeance.
172
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,820
The secret letter Fujino received was from Watanabe Kayou.
173
00:13:54,110 --> 00:13:55,420
Thirteen years ago
174
00:13:55,420 --> 00:14:01,210
Kayou believed that his father was killed by Motonari's order.
175
00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:05,470
He had hid himself since his father's death.
176
00:14:05,470 --> 00:14:09,540
He was serving the Yamauchi clan in Bingo.
177
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:14,170
I trust you, Kayou-dono.
178
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:20,290
I had wanted to help your father.
179
00:14:20,290 --> 00:14:22,660
But I couldn't.
180
00:14:23,290 --> 00:14:30,840
That's why, at least, I want to help your wish come true. You know?
181
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:32,540
Yes.
182
00:14:35,230 --> 00:14:37,450
Dying to avenge someone means nothing.
183
00:14:37,450 --> 00:14:41,180
Dying to help someone is far more meaningful.
184
00:14:41,930 --> 00:14:43,610
You know?
185
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,330
I know it well.
186
00:14:50,420 --> 00:14:51,700
Kayou.
187
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,140
You are here for real?
188
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,560
You surprised me.
189
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,740
Sire, Your Ladyship.
190
00:14:59,740 --> 00:15:01,610
I know it.
191
00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:09,730
Kayou.
192
00:15:14,810 --> 00:15:18,310
Why don't you serve me?
193
00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:21,450
You must hate me.
194
00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:28,520
Your father, Suguru, was killed, because of me.
195
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,440
Kayou.
196
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,210
Serve me.
197
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,100
Fujino.
198
00:15:40,780 --> 00:15:41,620
Thanks.
199
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,530
Thanks for bringing him over.
200
00:15:53,460 --> 00:15:56,550
I, Watanabe Kayou,
201
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,130
would like to serve you, sire.
202
00:16:05,930 --> 00:16:08,680
-- GASSAN-TODA CASTLE (Izumo) --
Meanwhile,
203
00:16:08,890 --> 00:16:13,230
the young lord of the Amago, Akihisa, was sending troops out.
204
00:16:13,230 --> 00:16:14,950
-- AMAGO AKIHISA --
-- (Amago Lord, Tsunehisa's Grandson) --
205
00:16:14,950 --> 00:16:17,540
He was steadily proceeding on a path towards rulership.
206
00:16:17,540 --> 00:16:19,860
Sanuki. Iyo.
207
00:16:20,210 --> 00:16:22,620
Bungo. Buzen.
208
00:16:24,370 --> 00:16:26,780
Suo. Nagato. I want them all.
209
00:16:26,780 --> 00:16:27,740
Great Lord.
210
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,210
I just came back from the battle in Harima.
211
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,660
You don't like clam shell matching?
212
00:16:39,940 --> 00:16:41,250
I don't.
213
00:16:42,170 --> 00:16:46,490
Just matching the pictures? What's the fun of it?
214
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,890
Great Lord.
215
00:16:48,890 --> 00:16:53,300
I'm going to attack the Mori.
216
00:16:57,660 --> 00:17:01,450
The Amago now have
more momentum than the Ouchi.
217
00:17:01,450 --> 00:17:02,980
Excuse me.
218
00:17:08,210 --> 00:17:10,690
Izumo. Hoki.
219
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:14,680
Bingo. Bitchu.
220
00:17:15,630 --> 00:17:21,430
In east, we have Inaba, Mimasaka, Bizen, and Harima.
221
00:17:22,510 --> 00:17:26,420
In west, we now have the Iwami silver mine.
222
00:17:26,420 --> 00:17:29,240
But, right behind us in Aki,
223
00:17:29,470 --> 00:17:32,560
there are the Mori, who are on the Ouchi's side.
224
00:17:32,810 --> 00:17:34,440
We can't control here.
225
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,120
-- AMAGO KUNIHISA --
-- (Amago Key Vassal, Shingu Party Head) --
226
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,280
Giving the Mori clout now ...
227
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,930
... will lead us to the path of rulership, we think.
228
00:17:43,970 --> 00:17:46,510
The Amago are still unsteady on their feet.
229
00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:48,350
The Mori are tough.
230
00:17:48,350 --> 00:17:51,280
Going to the enemy's territory now is dangerous.
231
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,120
Battles don't go like a clam shell matching game.
232
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:58,180
Pardon me for saying so, but...
233
00:17:58,180 --> 00:18:00,940
I am the Amago clan's head.
234
00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:04,200
I know.
235
00:18:04,590 --> 00:18:06,100
Akihisa.
236
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,870
Take it easy.
237
00:18:08,430 --> 00:18:10,560
Wait for the right time.
238
00:18:16,980 --> 00:18:19,760
-- SUE OKIFUSA'S MANSION --
-- April 1539 (Tenbun 8) --
239
00:18:19,990 --> 00:18:27,180
The Ouchi's key vassal and mainstay,
Sue Okifusa, was gravely ill.
240
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:37,820
Father.
241
00:18:38,270 --> 00:18:40,800
Your fever will go down soon.
242
00:18:41,450 --> 00:18:44,420
Bustling noise in Kyoto...
243
00:18:48,990 --> 00:18:55,540
I hear bustling on the main street.
244
00:18:55,540 --> 00:18:58,150
Brace up, Father!
245
00:18:58,910 --> 00:19:03,790
You're just hearing the chanting to lower your temperature.
246
00:19:03,790 --> 00:19:07,770
Bustling noise in Kyoto.
247
00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:12,480
The lord seized power. He's smiling.
248
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,570
Father.
249
00:19:14,430 --> 00:19:15,540
Father!!
250
00:19:26,350 --> 00:19:27,930
Takafusa.
251
00:19:29,470 --> 00:19:32,370
I was having a dream.
252
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:37,360
I was with the lord...
253
00:19:38,220 --> 00:19:41,640
...in a camp.
254
00:19:43,940 --> 00:19:46,360
It was hard...
255
00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:51,960
...but it was fun.
256
00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:55,350
Father.
257
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,680
If I am born again...
258
00:20:03,630 --> 00:20:07,700
...I want to be a samurai.
259
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:15,540
I want to repeat the same life, once again.
260
00:20:17,570 --> 00:20:19,250
Father.
261
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,710
I, Takafusa...
262
00:20:23,690 --> 00:20:27,520
...was jealous of you, because you are too great.
263
00:20:28,410 --> 00:20:29,620
But...
264
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:37,520
I am proud of you, who want to repeat the same life.
265
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:53,540
You have a much stronger
backbone than I do.
266
00:20:57,260 --> 00:21:00,510
The day you were born,
267
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:06,700
I was overjoyed.
268
00:21:07,210 --> 00:21:13,130
I was running around the castle.
269
00:21:13,130 --> 00:21:14,770
Father.
270
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,980
I will live a full life, too.
271
00:21:20,660 --> 00:21:26,400
I want to live fully and say,
"I want to repeat the same life."
272
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:33,160
The lord becomes weak sometimes.
273
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,420
Takafusa.
274
00:21:36,550 --> 00:21:41,930
You must protect him throughout life.
275
00:21:45,810 --> 00:21:49,900
The main street in Kyoto...
276
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,500
The lord seized power...
277
00:21:53,740 --> 00:22:00,200
He is walking on the main street...
278
00:22:00,930 --> 00:22:04,350
I'm so happy�
279
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,980
So happy...
280
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:16,280
Father!!
281
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,390
Father!
282
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,380
I, Takafusa ...
283
00:22:24,780 --> 00:22:26,840
... will protect the lord!
284
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,610
Please rest assured!
285
00:22:31,610 --> 00:22:32,450
Father.
286
00:22:36,220 --> 00:22:40,900
In 1539 (Tenbun 8),
287
00:22:41,210 --> 00:22:46,640
Sue Okifusa, a great general, left this life.
288
00:22:46,890 --> 00:22:50,360
His aspirations were taken over by his son, Takafusa.
289
00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:52,750
But, as he predicted,
290
00:22:52,750 --> 00:22:58,340
the Ouchi would follow a strange fate.
291
00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:04,190
-- GASSAN-TODA CASTLE --
-- (Izumo) --
292
00:23:14,470 --> 00:23:15,680
Great Lord.
293
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,560
After considering the situation carefully,
294
00:23:18,780 --> 00:23:21,790
we decided to attack the Mori by my authority.
295
00:23:21,790 --> 00:23:24,100
I would like to report to you the decision.
296
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:25,850
Sue Okifusa died.
297
00:23:26,130 --> 00:23:31,290
Since the Ouchi lost its mainstay,
they cannot afford to help the Mori.
298
00:23:31,290 --> 00:23:33,930
We cannot find a better opportunity.
299
00:23:33,930 --> 00:23:36,880
We, the Shingu (New Shrine) Party, are going to battle.
300
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,870
Great Lord, please stay here and wait for the good news.
301
00:23:42,620 --> 00:23:43,950
Excuse us.
302
00:23:50,150 --> 00:23:52,470
- Great Lord.
- Don't worry.
303
00:23:53,330 --> 00:23:55,130
Let him do whatever he wants.
304
00:23:55,130 --> 00:23:56,890
I'll clean up everything.
305
00:23:56,890 --> 00:24:00,280
Great Lord. You should remember how old you are.
306
00:24:00,490 --> 00:24:02,930
Just give us orders.
307
00:24:03,390 --> 00:24:04,640
Come to think of it,
308
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,120
I can live longer thanks to Akihisa.
309
00:24:11,150 --> 00:24:12,470
Look.
310
00:24:12,820 --> 00:24:15,500
-- "King" --
- This is me.
311
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:18,680
-- "King" --
- This is Akihisa.
312
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,120
-- "Rook" "Bishop" --
313
00:24:22,250 --> 00:24:24,830
You're a rook, Kamei.
314
00:24:25,410 --> 00:24:26,970
You're a bishop, Uyama.
315
00:24:26,970 --> 00:24:32,400
Do your own jobs to tightly protect Akihisa.
316
00:24:32,780 --> 00:24:33,980
I'm counting on you.
317
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,580
Charge!
318
00:24:38,580 --> 00:24:39,630
Go!
319
00:24:39,630 --> 00:24:41,950
Amago Shingu (New Shrine) Party!
320
00:24:41,950 --> 00:24:48,540
The Amago clan, mainly led by the Shingu Party, started preparing for a battle.
321
00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:54,240
Sire.
322
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:59,170
Bingo Road is steep. It's too dangerous for a grand army.
323
00:24:59,170 --> 00:25:01,680
And we have to cross the Eno River.
324
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,180
That'll make our soldiers exhausted.
325
00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:08,370
On the other hand, the Iwami Road is easier for an army procession.
326
00:25:08,370 --> 00:25:10,380
It's safer.
327
00:25:10,380 --> 00:25:11,850
But...
328
00:25:16,130 --> 00:25:19,830
The Iwami Road leads us to the front of Koriyama Castle.
329
00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:24,850
The Bingo Road leads us to the back of the castle.
330
00:25:24,850 --> 00:25:26,940
That's right.
331
00:25:36,390 --> 00:25:37,520
Bingo Road.
332
00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:40,420
Knock down Goryu Castle,
333
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:43,560
and attack Koriyama Castle from behind in one stroke.
334
00:25:44,780 --> 00:25:46,250
I agree with you.
335
00:25:49,230 --> 00:25:50,980
-- KORIYAMA CASTLE --
-- (Aki) --
336
00:25:50,980 --> 00:25:54,510
Their plan to attack the Mori was reported to Motonari.
337
00:25:54,510 --> 00:25:56,640
-- AWAYA MOTOCHIKA --
-- (Mori Key Vassal, Intelligence Officer in Charge of the Amago Matters) --
338
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,590
The Amago will certainly attack us.
339
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,600
But I haven't found out when.
340
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,680
They are sending an army 3,000-strong.
341
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,500
They are The Shingu Party, the Amago's elite unit led by Kunihisa.
342
00:26:08,740 --> 00:26:11,610
The Shingu Party, huh?
343
00:26:11,610 --> 00:26:16,310
Nobody can win a battle against The Shingu Party.
344
00:26:22,180 --> 00:26:24,130
So we can't win.
345
00:26:26,690 --> 00:26:27,690
Now.
346
00:26:29,530 --> 00:26:31,790
Which road are they taking?
347
00:26:31,790 --> 00:26:37,800
I don't know if they are taking the
Iwami Road or the Bingo Road.
348
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:44,140
I think they'll probably take Bingo Road
and cross the Eno River.
349
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,580
Princess Eno married into the Shishido at Goryu Castle.
350
00:26:47,580 --> 00:26:51,480
Her castle will be the first target.
351
00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:01,550
Takamoto or Eno.
352
00:27:04,970 --> 00:27:10,200
We must kill one of them, right?
353
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,100
If Goryu Castle is attacked, Eno dies.
354
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:22,220
If we kneel down to the Amago and save her,
355
00:27:22,450 --> 00:27:26,220
the Ouchi will kill Takamoto.
356
00:27:33,790 --> 00:27:37,150
I don't want them to die.
357
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:40,860
Sire.
358
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:42,530
Please save them.
359
00:27:42,770 --> 00:27:44,800
How can you kill my children?
360
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,330
I beg you, sire!
361
00:27:46,330 --> 00:27:48,260
- Please save them!
- Mii.
362
00:27:49,710 --> 00:27:51,320
You ...
363
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,490
... used to say this all the time,
364
00:27:55,890 --> 00:27:58,840
"You're almost winning."
365
00:27:59,230 --> 00:28:01,240
I gave birth to them.
366
00:28:02,290 --> 00:28:06,670
I won't let anyone kill them. I gave birth to them!
367
00:28:08,100 --> 00:28:09,100
Mii.
368
00:28:11,210 --> 00:28:16,810
You may only cry when you're with me.
369
00:28:17,900 --> 00:28:20,260
Takamoto.
370
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:26,360
Eno.
371
00:28:29,580 --> 00:28:35,640
No parent wants to leave her children to die.
372
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,910
-- June 1540 (Tenbun 9) --
373
00:29:06,170 --> 00:29:08,880
The Amago army advanced on the
Bingo Road with 3,000 men.
374
00:29:09,110 --> 00:29:14,510
That meant, Eno, at Goryu Castle, was approaching death.
375
00:29:32,980 --> 00:29:34,490
Eno.
376
00:29:37,710 --> 00:29:39,980
I'm sorry.
377
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,920
Sire.
378
00:30:02,260 --> 00:30:04,850
You're almost wining, aren't you?
379
00:30:06,290 --> 00:30:09,510
I was reading a book Fujino has.
380
00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:12,650
It says military strength doesn't determine battles.
381
00:30:12,650 --> 00:30:13,510
Look.
382
00:30:13,510 --> 00:30:16,710
Emperor Kuang Hsu of the Han Dynasty,
with only a few thousand soldiers,
383
00:30:16,710 --> 00:30:18,830
defeated Wang Mang's 420,000-strong army.
384
00:30:18,830 --> 00:30:23,810
Xie Xuan of the Qin Dynasty, with only 80,000 men,
defeated Fu Jian's 1,000,000-strong army.
385
00:30:24,270 --> 00:30:29,700
Minamoto Yoshitsune, with only 3,000 men,
defeated the Heike's 50,000-strong army.
386
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:30,290
Sire.
387
00:30:30,290 --> 00:30:32,310
The Amago's 3,000-strong army?
388
00:30:32,310 --> 00:30:34,400
You're almost winning.
389
00:30:37,380 --> 00:30:42,850
I won't forget your words of encouragement.
390
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:47,530
You're right.
391
00:30:49,810 --> 00:30:53,510
I must think I'm almost winning.
392
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,300
I'm going to Goryu Castle.
393
00:31:04,430 --> 00:31:08,750
Are you bringing Eno home?
394
00:31:09,130 --> 00:31:16,450
If I bring her home, the Shishido might betray us.
395
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:19,850
Then,
396
00:31:20,940 --> 00:31:25,970
the Amago can capture this castle without any trouble.
397
00:31:30,340 --> 00:31:32,100
Eno is...
398
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,320
She is...
399
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:41,850
Just be prepared.
400
00:31:45,860 --> 00:31:46,670
Hurry!
401
00:31:46,670 --> 00:31:49,140
-- GORYU CASTLE (Shishido Motoyoshi's Residence) --
-Bring them over!
402
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:50,930
Shift yourselves!
403
00:31:52,190 --> 00:31:53,670
Gonsuke.
404
00:31:56,980 --> 00:31:59,630
Go to Iwaya Castle and ask them if they have enough provisions.
405
00:31:59,630 --> 00:32:02,110
An army marches on it's stomach, you know?
406
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,390
Father.
407
00:32:07,390 --> 00:32:13,390
-- ENO (Motonari's First Daughter) --
-What brought you here?
408
00:32:13,770 --> 00:32:15,970
Is Mother doing well?
409
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:18,600
Eno.
410
00:32:20,710 --> 00:32:22,490
Shift yourselves!
411
00:32:24,270 --> 00:32:27,700
Here is our deployment, sir.
412
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:33,230
-- SHISHIDO MOTOYOSHI (Shishido Clan Head) --
-The Amago are taking the Bingo Road? My pleasure.
413
00:32:33,450 --> 00:32:38,100
I know the geography of my fief. It's my backyard.
414
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,810
On top of that...
415
00:32:39,810 --> 00:32:41,920
-- SHISHIDO TAKAIE--
-- (Motoyoshi's Grandson, Eno's Husband) --
416
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,340
...we, the Shishido, are good at fighting on mountains.
417
00:32:44,340 --> 00:32:46,570
No need to be afraid of a 3,000-man army.
418
00:32:46,570 --> 00:32:49,790
What dependable words.
419
00:32:49,790 --> 00:32:55,950
But don't underestimate the Shingu Party.
420
00:32:56,650 --> 00:32:58,790
The Mori, too, will deploy the entire army.
421
00:32:58,790 --> 00:33:01,860
If the Amago are taking the Bingo Road,
422
00:33:01,860 --> 00:33:06,120
Their last assembly place will be probably here.
423
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,410
Yachimanyama Castle of Shiwachi.
424
00:33:09,410 --> 00:33:12,280
To head for Koriyama Castle from there,
425
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,620
they have to cross the great Eno River.
426
00:33:14,620 --> 00:33:18,920
But the river in our fief has sheer cliffs one after another.
427
00:33:19,170 --> 00:33:21,870
If the Amago's grand army is crossing the river,
428
00:33:22,130 --> 00:33:26,280
the only available place for them is here, at the foot of Iwaya Castle.
429
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,970
Iwamido Pass.
430
00:33:27,970 --> 00:33:31,300
Iwamido Pass, huh?
431
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:35,960
Now, how much is Iwaya Castle is prepared?
432
00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:39,680
It's a small but strong castle.
433
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:41,900
Motonari-dono.
434
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:46,400
My younger brother is there.
435
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:49,930
I'll make him guard his castle tightly.
436
00:33:50,250 --> 00:33:54,920
He will use all kinds of tricks
to stop them from crossing the river.
437
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,950
If he doesn't have enough strength,
438
00:33:57,950 --> 00:34:04,300
we'll send the entire army to protect the castle.
439
00:34:11,270 --> 00:34:13,550
You're my father-in-law.
440
00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:15,110
Please leave everything to us.
441
00:34:15,110 --> 00:34:18,500
Thank you for the kind words.
442
00:34:19,870 --> 00:34:22,150
I feel relieved.
443
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:31,500
The Great Lord and the Lord tried to
send me back to Koriyama Castle.
444
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,480
But I said, "I'm going to stay here."
445
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,550
I'll never die.
446
00:34:40,890 --> 00:34:44,610
Because I'm very much like you, Father.
447
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:49,870
Every time you were in danger, Father,
448
00:34:50,110 --> 00:34:53,940
you made it through, didn't you?
449
00:34:56,300 --> 00:35:02,730
I'm your daughter. Don't worry about anything.
450
00:35:09,460 --> 00:35:11,100
Do you still remember?
451
00:35:11,410 --> 00:35:15,750
When I was little, had a nightmare and cried,
452
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:18,980
you always patted my head.
453
00:35:19,540 --> 00:35:24,880
After you did so,
I wasn't frightened of anything.
454
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:31,510
Yeah, I remember.
455
00:35:32,180 --> 00:35:33,450
Eno.
456
00:35:34,270 --> 00:35:37,330
Please tell mother ...
457
00:35:37,330 --> 00:35:40,540
... that I was smiling.
458
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,640
Tell her not to worry about anything.
459
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Please encourage her.
460
00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:05,980
As the Shishido expected,
461
00:37:05,980 --> 00:37:11,760
the 3,000-man Amago army tried to cross
the river at Iwamido Pass.
462
00:37:11,970 --> 00:37:16,600
The Shishido army guarding the area
was far smaller than they.
463
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,450
It would be a hard battle.
464
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,180
Advance!
465
00:37:22,180 --> 00:37:23,460
Advance!
466
00:37:23,460 --> 00:37:24,440
Sire!
467
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,300
-- KORIYAMA CASTLE --
-- (Motonari's Headquarters) --
468
00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:30,770
Lord Shishido went to Iwaya Castle with his entire army.
469
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:33,190
All right.
470
00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:37,850
We're going to battle tomorrow morning.
471
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:40,600
Gentlemen!
472
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,230
Prepare your units immediately!
473
00:37:52,850 --> 00:37:53,850
Eno.
474
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:18,320
I just got news on our army is crossing the Eno River.
475
00:38:18,660 --> 00:38:21,750
We're getting shot at from Iwaya Castle across the river.
476
00:38:21,750 --> 00:38:24,350
But no one is yielding an inch.
477
00:38:24,350 --> 00:38:28,180
They must be having a decisive battle at Koriyama Castle now.
478
00:38:28,180 --> 00:38:29,240
Great Lord.
479
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,920
Great Lord.
480
00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:42,460
The Shingu Party has been crushed.
481
00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:47,770
Crushed�?
482
00:38:47,770 --> 00:38:49,970
After fighting all night and all day,
483
00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:52,100
they finally advanced to a hard place in the river.
484
00:38:52,100 --> 00:38:55,330
But it was a shallow rocky stretch.
485
00:38:55,540 --> 00:38:57,450
From the top of the cliff...
486
00:38:57,730 --> 00:38:59,330
On top of the cliff,
487
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,780
enemy soldiers were in ambush, weren't they?
488
00:39:02,780 --> 00:39:04,130
Yes.
489
00:39:04,580 --> 00:39:06,870
They dropped giant logs and rocks.
490
00:39:06,870 --> 00:39:10,190
Some were smashed by them or drowned in the river.
491
00:39:10,190 --> 00:39:12,300
Many men died.
492
00:39:12,300 --> 00:39:14,170
After the chaos,
493
00:39:14,170 --> 00:39:18,660
The Shingu Party had to retreat.
494
00:39:54,270 --> 00:39:57,340
I'm going to battle next time.
495
00:40:01,290 --> 00:40:05,860
Via Iwami Road, leading the entire Amago army.
496
00:40:06,110 --> 00:40:09,870
I'm going to attack Koriyama Castle head-on.
497
00:40:23,330 --> 00:40:24,610
Uyama.
498
00:40:25,710 --> 00:40:29,910
A poised man like you is needed on a battlefield.
499
00:40:29,910 --> 00:40:32,820
Go with Akihisa.
500
00:40:32,820 --> 00:40:34,980
Report to me every situation there.
501
00:40:37,270 --> 00:40:38,970
Great Lord.
502
00:40:38,970 --> 00:40:40,290
Are you...?
503
00:40:40,290 --> 00:40:43,170
Yes. If it comes down to it,
504
00:40:43,170 --> 00:40:46,170
I might have to go there.
505
00:40:47,580 --> 00:40:50,770
They're making me work until I die.
506
00:41:05,930 --> 00:41:12,390
Now, even Amago Akihisa will lay low for a while.
507
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,870
Eno did great.
508
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,790
We must thank her.
509
00:41:16,790 --> 00:41:18,910
She's got guts.
510
00:41:20,140 --> 00:41:23,580
Anyway, I hate to think what will happen.
511
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,990
She will say, "I saved Koriyama Castle!"
512
00:41:29,250 --> 00:41:34,650
She'll start bragging to Takamoto and her other brothers.
513
00:41:34,650 --> 00:41:37,720
That's very likely, because the Ouchi didn't help us this time.
514
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:41,790
She'd say, "Takamoto, what were you doing then?"
515
00:41:42,990 --> 00:41:43,780
Because she's fierce.
516
00:41:53,790 --> 00:41:56,540
What's wrong, Kosanta?
517
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,350
What's the matter, Kosanta?
518
00:42:06,410 --> 00:42:10,670
Amago Akihisa is going to attack the Mori.
519
00:42:10,670 --> 00:42:14,320
He's going to lead his entire army.
520
00:42:14,530 --> 00:42:17,600
- When?
- Two months from now.
521
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,960
- From where?
- From the Iwami Road.
522
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,260
How strong they are?
523
00:42:23,940 --> 00:42:25,930
20,000 men.
524
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:28,920
Are you sure?
525
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,920
Yes.
526
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:37,430
Akihisa wants to attack Koriyama Castle head-on, with all his might.
527
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:50,120
Motonari was about to be driven to the wall.
528
00:42:55,220 --> 00:42:57,840
