00:00:09,495 --> 00:00:11,598
In tracing the roots
of the Date family,
2
00:00:11,598 --> 00:00:14,098
the name of Fujiwara
Kamataki appears.
3
00:00:18,771 --> 00:00:23,749
His 17th-generation descendant
was Nakamura Tokinaga.
4
00:00:24,010 --> 00:00:27,011
For fighting bravely at Oshu
with Minamoto Yoritomo,
5
00:00:27,011 --> 00:00:28,785
he was given the territory of Date.
6
00:00:29,815 --> 00:00:33,359
Tokinaga then look the name
Date Tomomune,
7
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:36,003
and became the founder
of the Date line.
8
00:00:40,259 --> 00:00:44,965
14th-generation Tanemune
laid the groundwork...
9
00:00:44,965 --> 00:00:48,039
for the Date to be
the rulers of Oshu.
10
00:00:49,869 --> 00:00:53,609
Tanemune became
governor of Oshu...
11
00:00:53,609 --> 00:01:00,142
and used 2 sons and 3 daughters
in political marriages.
12
00:01:03,482 --> 00:01:05,960
However, 15th-generation
Harumune...
13
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:10,156
revolted and fought
his father, Tanemune.
14
00:01:13,526 --> 00:01:16,965
Terumune became the 16th lord...
15
00:01:16,965 --> 00:01:21,033
when fighting among
the daimyo was intense.
16
00:01:21,667 --> 00:01:26,270
Surrounded by clans who
wanted their lands,
17
00:01:26,270 --> 00:01:28,476
the Date had to maintain
a constant vigil.
18
00:01:30,509 --> 00:01:36,112
The 17th lord was Dokuganyu Masamune,
the One-Eyed Dragon.
19
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:44,810
MASAMUNE,
THE ONE-EYED DRAGON

October, 1584...
43
00:04:11,936 --> 00:04:14,312
Terumune suddenly retired
44
00:04:14,312 --> 00:04:17,007
and announced Masamune's
succession.
45
00:04:24,116 --> 00:04:27,389
My lord!
Are you really retiring?!
46
00:04:27,389 --> 00:04:30,561
Don't look so angry.
It's unseemly, Yoshi.
47
00:04:30,561 --> 00:04:32,499
The castle in an uproar!
48
00:04:32,499 --> 00:04:35,669
I expected it.
They'll quiet down.
49
00:04:35,669 --> 00:04:40,073
I doubt it! The Date
are strong because of you.
50
00:04:40,073 --> 00:04:42,134
Just wait.
51
00:04:42,134 --> 00:04:44,036
I'm resentful.
52
00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:45,270
Why?
53
00:04:46,505 --> 00:04:51,744
You did this without
saying a word to me.
54
00:04:53,445 --> 00:04:55,080
You don't want
Tojiro to succeed me?
55
00:04:56,015 --> 00:04:58,152
That isn't so.
56
00:04:59,184 --> 00:05:02,055
Then stop moping!
57
00:05:02,888 --> 00:05:05,532
I had to do it
to unify the clan.
58
00:05:05,858 --> 00:05:07,732
I grieve for Jikumaru.
59
00:05:09,161 --> 00:05:10,502
What?
60
00:05:10,502 --> 00:05:15,103
We have two sons,
yet one must go to...
61
00:05:15,103 --> 00:05:17,440
That is the fate of second sons.
62
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,141
Please don't send
Jikumaru to the Kokubun.
63
00:05:22,141 --> 00:05:27,118
Then I will not speak
against your decision.
64
00:05:27,646 --> 00:05:30,019
Taking advantage of the situation?
65
00:05:30,449 --> 00:05:31,420
My Lord...!
66
00:05:33,152 --> 00:05:34,892
I'll think about it.
67
00:05:37,923 --> 00:05:40,765
Let him marry Koma,
of the Mogami.
68
00:05:40,765 --> 00:05:42,760
No, I said!
69
00:05:49,034 --> 00:05:50,201
How pitiful!
70
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:56,011
Jikumaru.
71
00:05:56,011 --> 00:05:57,408
Yes, Mother?
72
00:06:04,917 --> 00:06:09,085
Fear not. I will see
to it that thing work out.
73
00:06:09,622 --> 00:06:10,895
Yes.
74
00:06:10,895 --> 00:06:12,096
Mother...
75
00:06:12,725 --> 00:06:16,197
It's Masamune.
I came to pay my respects.
76
00:06:18,029 --> 00:06:19,396
Enter.
77
00:06:23,836 --> 00:06:25,314
Come forward.
78
00:06:41,954 --> 00:06:44,625
I have the honor to inform you.
79
00:06:44,625 --> 00:06:46,601
Under father's orders,
80
00:06:46,601 --> 00:06:50,296
I am to succeed him
as lord of the Date.
81
00:06:50,296 --> 00:06:52,039
Congratulations.
82
00:06:52,264 --> 00:06:55,401
Now prove your ability
to the world...
83
00:06:55,401 --> 00:06:58,909
and strive for the best.
84
00:06:59,371 --> 00:07:02,476
Thank you for your kind words.
85
00:07:03,142 --> 00:07:05,648
Congratulations, Brother.
86
00:07:05,648 --> 00:07:07,019
Congratulations.
87
00:07:07,019 --> 00:07:08,956
Jikumaru, are you studying hard?
88
00:07:08,956 --> 00:07:09,788
Yes.
89
00:07:09,788 --> 00:07:11,349
Make your body strong, too.
90
00:07:11,349 --> 00:07:14,555
If anything happens to me,
you will lead the Date.
91
00:07:14,555 --> 00:07:18,457
That is unlucky talk.
92
00:07:18,457 --> 00:07:20,127
Do you plan to go to war?
93
00:07:20,127 --> 00:07:21,864
Perhaps.
94
00:07:21,864 --> 00:07:26,036
Your reckless nature
worried the retainers.
95
00:07:26,036 --> 00:07:28,566
Mere skill in battles
does not make a good lord.
96
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,703
I know, Mother.
97
00:07:32,703 --> 00:07:36,207
Though retired,
Father is still young.
98
00:07:37,242 --> 00:07:41,251
I intend to rely
heavily on his counsel.
99
00:07:42,081 --> 00:07:45,950
This was so sudden,
I have no present for you...
100
00:07:45,950 --> 00:07:47,189
Please don't bother.
101
00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:53,927
I am never without the
prayer beads you gave me.
102
00:08:08,774 --> 00:08:10,352
Late in October,
103
00:08:10,776 --> 00:08:15,013
Masamune became lord of the Date.
104
00:08:16,548 --> 00:08:21,122
Terumune's daring move made
those dissidenting to reconsider,
105
00:08:21,122 --> 00:08:24,220
and quickly reunited
the clan once more.
106
00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:44,075
Raise your heads!
107
00:08:50,249 --> 00:08:52,318
I, Tojiro Masamune,
108
00:08:52,318 --> 00:08:55,761
accept the leadership of
the Date from my father.
109
00:08:55,761 --> 00:08:59,755
From now on,
I shall be your leader.
110
00:09:01,059 --> 00:09:03,196
Serve me well.
111
00:09:06,465 --> 00:09:11,735
Men, let us all give
Masamune our support,
112
00:09:12,971 --> 00:09:16,245
and work for the
prosperity to our clan.
113
00:09:19,244 --> 00:09:21,120
Greetings, Bontenmaru!
114
00:09:22,147 --> 00:09:27,049
How could you have
forgotten me?
115
00:09:28,887 --> 00:09:30,296
Tokimunemaru?!
116
00:09:31,322 --> 00:09:36,762
Indeed, I am. Now I am
known as Togoro-Shizegane.
117
00:09:36,762 --> 00:09:40,074
Shigezane, sit down!
118
00:09:40,074 --> 00:09:41,732
Pardon my rudeness.
119
00:09:42,768 --> 00:09:45,405
Sorry I'm late.
120
00:09:45,405 --> 00:09:46,506
You never change.
121
00:09:47,539 --> 00:09:50,382
Because of your succession,
122
00:09:50,382 --> 00:09:53,012
I have also benefited.
123
00:09:53,012 --> 00:09:54,284
Benefited?
124
00:09:54,284 --> 00:09:56,257
Following Lord Terumune's example,
125
00:09:56,257 --> 00:10:01,361
my father Sanemoto retired,
so I am lord of Omori Castle.
126
00:10:02,387 --> 00:10:05,590
A welcome rejuvenation
for the clan.
127
00:10:06,024 --> 00:10:09,068
Hamada Kagetaka and
Harada Samanosuke...
128
00:10:09,068 --> 00:10:11,095
also succeeded their fathers.
129
00:10:12,130 --> 00:10:14,031
What about you, Sagetsu?
130
00:10:14,666 --> 00:10:18,872
You're old now.
Let Tsunamoto take over.
131
00:10:18,872 --> 00:10:21,007
Tsunamoto still lacks experience.
132
00:10:21,007 --> 00:10:23,648
No. He's a fine warrior.
133
00:10:23,648 --> 00:10:25,016
You wouldn't know!
134
00:10:25,016 --> 00:10:26,918
No need to be angry.
135
00:10:26,918 --> 00:10:28,889
He's praising your son.
136
00:10:28,889 --> 00:10:31,053
Perhaps he hates to
relinquish his property.
137
00:10:31,683 --> 00:10:32,558
What?!
138
00:10:32,558 --> 00:10:35,362
Calm down.
You're before our lord.
139
00:10:36,989 --> 00:10:38,023
Bother!
140
00:10:38,023 --> 00:10:42,930
All right! Tsunamoto is
head of the Oniniwa house!
141
00:10:42,930 --> 00:10:45,101
Thank you, Father!
142
00:10:46,732 --> 00:10:47,539
Shigezane...
143
00:10:47,539 --> 00:10:48,941
Yes, sir.
144
00:10:48,941 --> 00:10:52,377
I hear you are a resourceful
and good warrior...
145
00:10:52,377 --> 00:10:55,871
with great promise.
146
00:10:56,408 --> 00:11:00,285
Be Masamune's right arm,
and if anything should happen,
147
00:11:00,512 --> 00:11:03,779
bring the retainers together
and lead them.
148
00:11:04,516 --> 00:11:06,023
I will, sire!
149
00:11:07,352 --> 00:11:08,625
Katakura Kojuro!
150
00:11:09,655 --> 00:11:13,829
As captain of the bannermen,
serve Masamune always.
151
00:11:14,626 --> 00:11:15,433
Yes, sire!
152
00:11:15,433 --> 00:11:16,699
Shiroishi Munezane...
153
00:11:18,297 --> 00:11:19,434
Harada Samanosuke...
154
00:11:20,699 --> 00:11:21,836
Goto Magobei...
155
00:11:22,868 --> 00:11:24,641
Oniniwa Tsunamoto...
156
00:11:25,170 --> 00:11:27,807
You will belong to
Masamune's council.
157
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,012
Masamune's very life
will be in your hands.
158
00:11:36,046 --> 00:11:38,556
A word of caution,
if I may...
159
00:11:39,584 --> 00:11:41,094
Speak.
160
00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:45,055
The advisors are far too young.
161
00:11:45,055 --> 00:11:50,899
A youthful lord should
have older advisors.
162
00:11:50,899 --> 00:11:57,498
Rusu Masakage will be their
instructor. Don't worry.
163
00:12:00,439 --> 00:12:02,281
Be counting on you, Masakage.
164
00:12:03,308 --> 00:12:05,479
Yes, my lord.
165
00:12:06,511 --> 00:12:12,648
Masamune's lords sent messengers
with their congratulations.
166
00:12:12,648 --> 00:12:14,993
Reporting.
Representing the Tamura Clan,
167
00:12:14,993 --> 00:12:17,858
Sir Makaidate Takumi is here.
168
00:12:17,858 --> 00:12:22,659
They come on the pretext
of offering congratulations,
169
00:12:22,659 --> 00:12:25,599
but they actually want
to observe you.
170
00:12:26,431 --> 00:12:31,000
To see how capable the new
lord of the Date is.
171
00:12:32,571 --> 00:12:34,106
The retainers are here, also.
172
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:37,742
Speak boldly, like a lord.
173
00:12:37,742 --> 00:12:39,618
Send the visitors back in awe.
174
00:12:40,645 --> 00:12:42,000
I will.
175
00:12:43,215 --> 00:12:45,182
Sir Mukaidate is here.
176
00:13:04,536 --> 00:13:05,786
I am honored to meet you.
177
00:13:12,177 --> 00:13:14,950
On behalf of my lord,
Tamura Kiyoaki,
178
00:13:14,950 --> 00:13:18,447
I extent our sincerest
congratulations.
179
00:13:20,052 --> 00:13:27,031
Lord Masamune, son of the
great lord Terumune of Oshu,
180
00:13:27,626 --> 00:13:30,695
is the reincarnation of Saint Mankai.
181
00:13:31,229 --> 00:13:34,400
We believe that he
will be a great man,
182
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,900
like a dragon
soaring in the skies.
183
00:13:43,809 --> 00:13:45,980
A dragon?
184
00:13:45,980 --> 00:13:50,750
Seeing Lord Masamune in person...
185
00:13:51,183 --> 00:13:56,150
strengthens my belief.
186
00:13:57,622 --> 00:13:59,225
Is Lord Kiyokai well?
187
00:14:00,258 --> 00:14:02,059
He is in excellent health.
188
00:14:02,794 --> 00:14:04,135
The Tamura are my in-laws.
189
00:14:05,163 --> 00:14:08,398
I hope we can
always be friends.
190
00:14:09,234 --> 00:14:11,010
Yes, sire.
191
00:14:12,137 --> 00:14:20,015
My lord is eagerly awaiting
further good news.
192
00:14:21,246 --> 00:14:22,446
What do you mean?
193
00:14:23,281 --> 00:14:24,725
I beg your indulgence...
194
00:14:24,725 --> 00:14:26,420
Speak.
195
00:14:27,119 --> 00:14:31,460
The Tamura have no heir.
196
00:14:32,357 --> 00:14:38,328
They just have one child,
Princess Mego.
197
00:14:38,328 --> 00:14:39,338
They cannot!
198
00:14:40,265 --> 00:14:46,346
Lord Terumune agreed to it
when the princess came here.
199
00:14:46,638 --> 00:14:48,411
Only if Mego has children.
200
00:14:49,441 --> 00:14:50,945
But she must.
201
00:14:50,945 --> 00:14:54,550
If she has no children
within two years,
202
00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:57,006
she goes back to the Tamura!
203
00:15:05,824 --> 00:15:11,026
Lord Hatakeyama Yoshitsugu
came from Nihonmatsu.
204
00:15:13,165 --> 00:15:16,366
Pine trees in Nihonmatsu (Two Pines)
are all two-pronged, I hear?
205
00:15:20,438 --> 00:15:21,438
How you jest.
206
00:15:21,438 --> 00:15:23,473
I did hear it.
207
00:15:23,473 --> 00:15:28,279
One side leans toward Date,
the other toward Ashina.
208
00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:29,950
How harsh.
209
00:15:29,950 --> 00:15:34,086
My lord, this is supposed
to be a happy occasion.
210
00:15:34,686 --> 00:15:36,025
Forgive my rudeness.
211
00:15:36,955 --> 00:15:40,009
I wished to know,
for my information.
212
00:15:41,426 --> 00:15:44,162
Very well.
213
00:15:44,596 --> 00:15:49,097
The pine represents fidelity.
214
00:15:49,097 --> 00:15:51,976
However, since our tiny clan
is surrounded...
215
00:15:51,976 --> 00:16:01,246
by the Date, Ashina, Tamura,
Soma, and others,
216
00:16:01,246 --> 00:16:06,380
we try to be friendly
with everyone.
217
00:16:06,918 --> 00:16:12,162
It's shocking to be called
two-pronged or fence-sitters.
218
00:16:13,024 --> 00:16:16,934
Then I will go to Nihonmatsu
and see for myself...
219
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:19,229
where your loyalties lie.
220
00:16:24,569 --> 00:16:30,240
For the Mogami in Yamagata,
Ujiie Morimune came with a gift.
221
00:16:33,578 --> 00:16:35,249
I can learn from Uncle's exploits.
222
00:16:36,281 --> 00:16:41,157
He plotted against the Tateoka
and destroyed the Kaminoyama.
223
00:16:41,386 --> 00:16:43,353
He starved the Sakenobe
into submission,
224
00:16:43,353 --> 00:16:46,353
and persuaded rebels
to destroy Muto Yoshiuji.
225
00:16:48,293 --> 00:16:52,067
Lord Yoshiaki is
a master strategist.
226
00:16:52,067 --> 00:16:55,909
Rather than strategist,
he's a scheming backstabber!
227
00:16:56,935 --> 00:17:01,007
The unification of Ushu
will also benefit the Date.
228
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,583
Please understand.
229
00:17:08,580 --> 00:17:11,986
Mogami Yoshiaki's invasion
of the north continued.
230
00:17:13,018 --> 00:17:20,819
In June, he lured Lord Shirotori
to his castle.
231
00:17:25,897 --> 00:17:27,336
Please come closer.
232
00:17:36,841 --> 00:17:37,682
Lord Juro...
233
00:17:37,682 --> 00:17:41,020
Don't get up.
You'll get worse.
234
00:17:44,883 --> 00:17:47,725
My life is at an end.
235
00:17:48,753 --> 00:17:52,591
I would like to ask
a favor of you.
236
00:17:53,624 --> 00:17:59,069
Anything. I will be your
son's father-in-law-to-be.
237
00:17:59,798 --> 00:18:02,033
Thank you.
238
00:18:02,367 --> 00:18:11,242
Since Yoshiyasu is young,
I fear for the future.
239
00:18:12,944 --> 00:18:21,081
Please govern our territory
until Yoshiyasu is grown.
240
00:18:21,686 --> 00:18:27,589
I will. I swear to the gods
to protect Yoshiyasu.
241
00:18:27,589 --> 00:18:29,028
Thank you.
242
00:18:31,262 --> 00:18:35,934
I have written it here.
243
00:18:35,934 --> 00:18:41,206
Please read it and
keep it as proof.
244
00:18:41,940 --> 00:18:43,007
I will.
245
00:18:50,782 --> 00:18:51,987
Lord Yoshiaki!
246
00:18:53,017 --> 00:18:54,284
What's this?
247
00:18:59,924 --> 00:19:02,726
Wretch...!
You ticked me...!
248
00:19:17,442 --> 00:19:19,181
Going with the tide of success,
249
00:19:19,181 --> 00:19:23,177
Yoshiako attacked and forced
Oe Takamoto to kill himself.
250
00:19:24,682 --> 00:19:29,050
Yoshiaki's ambition was
fulfilled, for now.
251
00:19:30,922 --> 00:19:35,007
Reporting.
Lord Ouchi Sadatsuna is here.
252
00:19:35,593 --> 00:19:37,096
Send him in.
253
00:19:37,729 --> 00:19:39,866
He's come at last.
254
00:19:39,866 --> 00:19:41,865
He cannot be trusted.
255
00:19:46,070 --> 00:19:48,037
Lord Ouchi...
256
00:19:54,078 --> 00:19:57,215
I hope you are well.
257
00:19:57,215 --> 00:20:00,587
Thank you for coming in person.
258
00:20:01,619 --> 00:20:06,089
This is my successor,
Tojiro-Masamune.
259
00:20:10,628 --> 00:20:14,263
I am Ouchi Sadatsuna of Obama.
260
00:20:14,699 --> 00:20:18,703
My heartfelt congratulations
on your successorship.
261
00:20:18,703 --> 00:20:22,942
I pray the Date will be
prosperous for all time...
262
00:20:22,942 --> 00:20:28,611
and that the gods protect
the young lord.
263
00:20:30,048 --> 00:20:31,422
I am honored.
264
00:20:33,351 --> 00:20:39,457
The Ouchi have long relied
on your friendship.
265
00:20:39,891 --> 00:20:43,358
Please continue to help our clan.
266
00:20:43,358 --> 00:20:44,467
Don't lie!
267
00:20:46,197 --> 00:20:48,307
That was long ago.
268
00:20:49,133 --> 00:20:51,611
Now you befriend the
Ashina and Satake,
269
00:20:51,611 --> 00:20:54,409
and betray the Tamura,
our allies!
270
00:20:54,409 --> 00:20:57,906
It was no betrayal.
271
00:20:57,906 --> 00:21:01,284
Lord Tamura misunderstood
our true intentions,
272
00:21:01,284 --> 00:21:04,915
so we were forced to break
relations with him.
273
00:21:04,915 --> 00:21:11,130
With your help, we would
like to make a peace treaty.
274
00:21:11,130 --> 00:21:13,133
Is this true?
275
00:21:13,133 --> 00:21:14,524
Yes.
276
00:21:15,298 --> 00:21:23,333
I, Ouchi Sadatsuna,
pledge to serve only the Date.
277
00:21:23,333 --> 00:21:26,113
You'll break with the
Ashina and Satake?
278
00:21:27,138 --> 00:21:28,445
Yes.
279
00:21:29,474 --> 00:21:30,849
Tojiro.
280
00:21:30,849 --> 00:21:34,546
Lord Ouchi sent men to
help in the Soma campaign.
281
00:21:34,546 --> 00:21:38,824
Forget the past,
and let him serve you.
282
00:21:40,852 --> 00:21:44,222
I can help in the peace
talks with the Tamura.
283
00:21:45,256 --> 00:21:46,495
Lord Sadatsuna...
284
00:21:46,495 --> 00:21:47,495
Yes.
285
00:21:48,226 --> 00:21:51,965
If you profess to serve the Date,
I want proof!
286
00:21:53,565 --> 00:21:56,475
Stay in Yonezawa
and work for us.
287
00:21:56,475 --> 00:21:59,002
You shall have a suitable mansion.
288
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:02,044
Masamune!
289
00:22:02,774 --> 00:22:04,016
Answer me!
290
00:22:06,144 --> 00:22:09,349
I am most honored.
291
00:22:09,349 --> 00:22:13,347
I will gladly do as you wish.
292
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:20,030
Excellent!
Let us drink!
293
00:22:21,660 --> 00:22:24,704
Ouchi Sadatsuna got hung up.
294
00:22:24,704 --> 00:22:29,696
Until his new mansion was built, he
was kept in the custody of Endo Motonobu.
295
00:22:32,003 --> 00:22:34,640
You handled it magnificently!
296
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,012
I, Shigezane, found it very satisfying!
297
00:22:38,943 --> 00:22:41,682
The retainers are overjoyed.
298
00:22:41,682 --> 00:22:46,480
They say Masamune's prowess
will be known throughout Ou.
299
00:22:48,319 --> 00:22:51,092
Let Sadatsuna return to Obama.
300
00:22:51,092 --> 00:22:52,100
Huh?
301
00:22:53,124 --> 00:22:56,665
It's time to be bold,
but he's the lord of a clan.
302
00:22:57,395 --> 00:23:00,202
Rather that shame him
and be hated,
303
00:23:00,202 --> 00:23:02,609
win him over to help
subjugate the Ashina.
304
00:23:03,234 --> 00:23:05,439
You're too kind, Father.
305
00:23:05,439 --> 00:23:06,639
What?
306
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:11,415
Shrewd Lord Ouchi would
not serve us so willingly.
307
00:23:11,843 --> 00:23:14,787
He came to spy on us
for the Ashina.
308
00:23:14,787 --> 00:23:16,390
Not necessarily!
309
00:23:16,814 --> 00:23:20,418
If we keep him in Yonezawa,
we'll learn the truth.
310
00:23:21,452 --> 00:23:25,457
Then we'll have an excuse
to attack the Ashina.
311
00:23:25,457 --> 00:23:27,968
You leave nothing
to chance, Bontenmaru!
312
00:23:27,968 --> 00:23:29,263
He's not Bontenmaru!
313
00:23:30,194 --> 00:23:31,467
Sorry.
314
00:23:31,467 --> 00:23:32,803
Kojuro.
315
00:23:32,803 --> 00:23:35,171
Treat Ouchi's attendants well.
316
00:23:35,171 --> 00:23:38,143
If any would betray him,
hire them immediately.
317
00:23:38,143 --> 00:23:39,578
Yes, sire.
318
00:23:39,578 --> 00:23:41,571
I'm impressed!
319
00:23:47,111 --> 00:23:48,350
Are you angry, Mego?
320
00:23:48,350 --> 00:23:49,910
No, just sad.
321
00:23:54,018 --> 00:23:55,894
What did Mukaidate tell you?
322
00:23:57,922 --> 00:24:02,066
That I'll be sent back if I
don't conceive in two years.
323
00:24:03,895 --> 00:24:06,071
I said that for show.
324
00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:09,709
I couldn't let Sir Tamura
make demands of me.
325
00:24:10,735 --> 00:24:13,002
Not before my retainers.
326
00:24:16,874 --> 00:24:18,013
Come.
327
00:24:18,643 --> 00:24:19,553
My lord...
328
00:24:20,578 --> 00:24:23,822
Have the mountain priest pray again.
329
00:24:24,048 --> 00:24:28,185
With a prayer staff over our room,
we'll have children!
330
00:24:28,185 --> 00:24:29,320
Did you see the roof?
331
00:24:30,755 --> 00:24:32,628
A prayer staff is here.
332
00:24:32,628 --> 00:24:34,330
Priest Chokai brought it.
333
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:38,463
I didn't know.
334
00:24:38,463 --> 00:24:39,871
Forgive me!
335
00:24:39,871 --> 00:24:44,733
Never speak of children again.
336
00:24:48,740 --> 00:24:50,581
If you conceive, it's fine.
337
00:24:50,581 --> 00:24:51,915
If not, it can't be helped.
338
00:24:52,944 --> 00:24:56,946
If you fret,
the gods will forsake you.
339
00:25:00,184 --> 00:25:02,085
Don't be so sad.
Smile.
340
00:25:04,722 --> 00:25:06,089
Smile, I say.
341
00:25:13,564 --> 00:25:19,110
Warlords with no children
had to adopt their heirs.
342
00:25:20,138 --> 00:25:26,181
Even Hashiba Hideyoshi, whose battle
with Tokugawa Ieyasu ended in a draw,
343
00:25:26,181 --> 00:25:28,211
had no child of his own.
344
00:25:34,118 --> 00:25:35,485
It is Hidetsugu.
345
00:25:39,390 --> 00:25:40,299
Enter.
346
00:25:44,328 --> 00:25:49,231
Miyoshi Hidetsugu was the
son of Hideyoshi's sister.
347
00:26:10,855 --> 00:26:17,435
I understand you want
Ikeda Kenmotsu for a vassal?
348
00:26:17,435 --> 00:26:18,496
Yes, sire.
349
00:26:21,532 --> 00:26:22,539
Fool.
350
00:26:24,368 --> 00:26:28,709
You lost pitifully in
the Battle of Nagakute.
351
00:26:29,774 --> 00:26:34,014
You're responsible for
the deaths of...
352
00:26:34,014 --> 00:26:35,717
Kinoshita Sukezaemon and Kageyu!
353
00:26:38,749 --> 00:26:42,227
After letting my good
men die like flies,
354
00:26:42,653 --> 00:26:49,233
you survived and have the
gall to ask for Kenmotsu!
355
00:26:53,531 --> 00:26:55,008
There's more.
356
00:26:56,873 --> 00:27:04,283
Just because you're my nephew,
you treat people like dogs.
357
00:27:06,310 --> 00:27:08,549
Never...!
358
00:27:08,549 --> 00:27:10,000
Silence!
359
00:27:10,781 --> 00:27:14,418
I'll have none of your
impudent excuses.
360
00:27:14,418 --> 00:27:16,519
I know everything.
361
00:27:19,457 --> 00:27:24,666
Whoever shames Hideyoshi
must pay the price.
362
00:27:26,030 --> 00:27:28,072
Do you want your
head chopped off?
363
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,611
Uncle! Have mercy!
364
00:27:35,139 --> 00:27:36,912
Hear me, Hidetsugu...
365
00:27:39,810 --> 00:27:43,754
If anything should happen to me,
366
00:27:44,282 --> 00:27:48,123
I had intended to make
you successor...
367
00:27:48,123 --> 00:27:50,596
and leave you all my domains.
368
00:27:50,596 --> 00:27:52,588
I am most grateful!
369
00:27:56,227 --> 00:27:57,102
Come closer.
370
00:28:07,204 --> 00:28:09,009
You're "grateful?"
371
00:28:10,441 --> 00:28:13,444
Please, Uncle!
372
00:28:19,150 --> 00:28:21,121
Are you all right, Uncle?
373
00:28:21,121 --> 00:28:22,357
Uncle!
374
00:28:23,387 --> 00:28:26,225
Hidetsugu!
What are you doing?!
375
00:28:26,225 --> 00:28:28,132
My lord!
376
00:28:28,132 --> 00:28:30,903
What have you done?!
377
00:28:30,903 --> 00:28:32,072
I didn't...!
378
00:28:33,397 --> 00:28:35,898
Forgive me, Uncle!
379
00:28:37,101 --> 00:28:38,668
Are you all right?
380
00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:48,050
Oh, Nene.
381
00:28:52,483 --> 00:28:54,722
Am I bleeding?
382
00:28:54,722 --> 00:28:56,196
You're fine.
383
00:29:05,629 --> 00:29:06,538
Hey, Nene.
384
00:29:06,538 --> 00:29:07,571
Yes?
385
00:29:08,899 --> 00:29:13,340
I am the unluckiest
man in the world.
386
00:29:13,340 --> 00:29:17,742
I worked hard and fought
furiously in battles.
387
00:29:18,776 --> 00:29:22,317
But I must leave all
the fruits of my labor...
388
00:29:22,317 --> 00:29:26,313
to an outsider.
389
00:29:30,721 --> 00:29:32,024
Nene...
390
00:29:33,958 --> 00:29:37,030
Bear me a child.
391
00:29:37,030 --> 00:29:42,028
A religious woman
like you can have children.
392
00:29:43,034 --> 00:29:46,044
Just one child.
393
00:29:47,271 --> 00:29:50,481
Have my child.
394
00:29:50,481 --> 00:29:53,111
It's too late.
395
00:29:53,111 --> 00:29:56,683
No. It's not too late.
396
00:29:58,716 --> 00:30:05,158
A barren woman is like
a broken sandal.
397
00:30:05,790 --> 00:30:10,192
I am not the only barren woman.
398
00:30:13,097 --> 00:30:18,004
Sannomaru, Tatsuko, even Kaga...
399
00:30:20,037 --> 00:30:24,004
They're all broken sandals.
400
00:30:26,343 --> 00:30:31,217
My concubines don't conceive,
401
00:30:31,217 --> 00:30:40,389
because they're waiting
for you, my wife.
402
00:30:40,389 --> 00:30:42,001
Understand?
403
00:30:55,524 --> 00:30:59,001
Tensho 13 (1585)
404
00:31:01,212 --> 00:31:02,922
How do you like
living in Yonezawa?
405
00:31:03,647 --> 00:31:05,820
It's very comfortable.
406
00:31:06,450 --> 00:31:11,021
I am most grateful for
Sir Motonobu's hospitality.
407
00:31:12,156 --> 00:31:14,225
How is the work on the mansion?
408
00:31:14,225 --> 00:31:17,100
The snows have
slowed construction.
409
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:21,339
Therefore, I wish
to ask a favor, sire.
410
00:31:21,339 --> 00:31:23,240
Speak.
411
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:29,005
I fear I am greatly
inconveniencing Sir Motonobu.
412
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,611
With your permission,
413
00:31:31,611 --> 00:31:36,247
I would like to return to Obama,
settle my affairs,
414
00:31:36,247 --> 00:31:41,248
and return with my family
when the snows melt.
415
00:31:41,952 --> 00:31:47,008
I trust you really
do intend to return?
416
00:31:47,858 --> 00:31:52,964
Ouchi Sadatsuna is a samurai.
417
00:31:53,998 --> 00:31:59,767
I promised to serve the Date
and I will keep my word.
418
00:31:59,767 --> 00:32:04,579
Then stay here in Yonezawa and
send for your family.
419
00:32:04,579 --> 00:32:06,018
I cannot.
420
00:32:06,544 --> 00:32:08,613
I must gather my retainers...
421
00:32:08,613 --> 00:32:18,958
and explain to them that
we will now serve the Date.
422
00:32:20,691 --> 00:32:22,004
Not only that...
423
00:32:23,327 --> 00:32:24,668
For several years,
424
00:32:24,668 --> 00:32:29,597
I have been friends with
the Ashina and Satake,
425
00:32:29,597 --> 00:32:32,068
and have received
many rewards from them.
426
00:32:32,703 --> 00:32:36,539
Since I am to serve the Date,
427
00:32:36,539 --> 00:32:39,882
I must do the right thing,
as a samurai.
428
00:32:39,882 --> 00:32:46,080
I would like some time
to pay my respects to them.
429
00:32:49,019 --> 00:32:54,730
Your request is reasonable.
Return when the snows melt.
430
00:32:56,227 --> 00:32:59,095
Thank you, my lord!
431
00:33:03,667 --> 00:33:05,167
Taking his attendants,
432
00:33:05,167 --> 00:33:09,001
Ouchi Sadatsuna left cheerfully.
433
00:33:13,344 --> 00:33:15,685
Aren't you happy with Tateyama?
434
00:33:15,685 --> 00:33:19,989
No, but why must we
live so far away?
435
00:33:19,989 --> 00:33:21,122
It's not far.
436
00:33:21,752 --> 00:33:24,628
On foot, it's barely two hours.
437
00:33:25,656 --> 00:33:28,066
Masamune is inexperienced.
438
00:33:28,592 --> 00:33:30,729
You should be near...
439
00:33:30,729 --> 00:33:32,034
Don't worry.
440
00:33:33,063 --> 00:33:34,768
Since he's taking over,
441
00:33:34,768 --> 00:33:38,742
I leave everything
to his discretion.
442
00:33:39,770 --> 00:33:43,037
A man is shaped by responsibility.
443
00:33:45,342 --> 00:33:50,245
We'll leave the castle tomorrow.
444
00:33:52,616 --> 00:33:55,026
Yonezawa Castle
is Masamune's now.
445
00:33:55,552 --> 00:34:00,225
The east wing will
belong to Princess Mego.
446
00:34:00,225 --> 00:34:05,096
Construction on our mansion
has barely begun!
447
00:34:05,096 --> 00:34:09,697
We'll stay with Muneshige
for the time being.
448
00:34:12,069 --> 00:34:14,809
I cannot understand you!
449
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,181
You should!
450
00:34:19,209 --> 00:34:23,255
If I leave, the meddlesome
old fogeys will follow suit.
451
00:34:23,981 --> 00:34:25,425
We're cleaning house.
452
00:34:26,450 --> 00:34:30,054
The Date will be rejuvenated
and Masamune will be freer.
453
00:34:31,588 --> 00:34:34,691
Am I a meddlesome old fogey?!
454
00:34:34,691 --> 00:34:35,832
What?
455
00:34:36,060 --> 00:34:40,699
You're retiring to keep me quiet!
I know it!
456
00:34:40,699 --> 00:34:41,898
Yoshi!
457
00:34:41,898 --> 00:34:43,569
I refuse to go!
458
00:34:43,569 --> 00:34:45,475
I won't retire!
459
00:34:45,475 --> 00:34:47,037
I refuse to leave!
460
00:34:49,573 --> 00:34:50,540
Fool!
461
00:34:55,145 --> 00:34:56,619
They are coming.
462
00:34:59,450 --> 00:35:04,791
Terumune left the castle
with Yoshi and Jikumaru...
463
00:35:04,791 --> 00:35:09,006
taking up temporary residence
in Muneshige's mansion.
464
00:35:09,626 --> 00:35:13,232
How fortunate that
today is a lucky day.
465
00:35:15,265 --> 00:35:20,239
My subjects, thank you
for everything.
466
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,043
Don't cry Sagetsu.
467
00:35:26,276 --> 00:35:28,152
I'm not going to die.
468
00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:31,249
Forgive me, my lord.
469
00:35:33,283 --> 00:35:34,488
Father...
470
00:35:36,623 --> 00:35:40,294
If problems arises,
which I cannot solve,
471
00:35:40,294 --> 00:35:44,236
I will seek your advice.
Please help me.
472
00:35:44,236 --> 00:35:46,006
I've retired.
473
00:35:46,830 --> 00:35:51,333
I won't listen to
any more problems.
474
00:35:58,342 --> 00:36:00,183
Mego...
475
00:36:00,183 --> 00:36:01,149
Yes.
476
00:36:01,478 --> 00:36:04,251
Take care to put out the fires.
477
00:36:04,251 --> 00:36:06,316
Yes, Mother.
478
00:36:06,316 --> 00:36:07,487
Keep fresh flowers at the altar.
479
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,554
Yes.
480
00:36:10,554 --> 00:36:15,490
Be a good wife and serve as
an example to your subjects.
481
00:36:18,629 --> 00:36:20,073
Mother...
482
00:36:20,597 --> 00:36:22,268
Take care of yourself.
483
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:25,505
You, too, my son.
484
00:36:26,537 --> 00:36:27,881
Thank you.
485
00:36:30,507 --> 00:36:33,745
Jikumaru, visit us
whenever you want.
486
00:36:33,745 --> 00:36:34,744
Yes.
487
00:36:45,255 --> 00:36:46,822
Let's go.
488
00:37:29,733 --> 00:37:33,233
Though the snows melted,
489
00:37:33,437 --> 00:37:35,038
Ouchi Sadatsuna did not return.
490
00:37:37,841 --> 00:37:43,347
I'll go to Obama.
I'll drag him back.
491
00:37:43,347 --> 00:37:44,653
Calm down, Shigezane.
492
00:37:44,653 --> 00:37:45,920
We must do something!
493
00:37:46,950 --> 00:37:50,019
He shamed the young
lord of the Date!
494
00:37:50,254 --> 00:37:54,701
Then we'll destroy him.
This was Lord Masamune's intent.
495
00:37:54,701 --> 00:37:56,032
Let us prepare for battle...
496
00:37:56,032 --> 00:38:00,331
Ouchi is a notorious schemer.
497
00:38:00,331 --> 00:38:02,933
There's a trap somewhere.
498
00:38:02,933 --> 00:38:05,034
A trap?
499
00:38:06,069 --> 00:38:08,515
He's probably conspiring
with the Ashina.
500
00:38:08,515 --> 00:38:14,416
While we're attacking Obama,
the Ashina might attack Yonezawa.
501
00:38:14,645 --> 00:38:17,646
But if we do nothing,
we will be humiliated!
502
00:38:18,849 --> 00:38:20,952
Ouchi will gloat over it,
503
00:38:20,952 --> 00:38:27,003
and the other lords will
laugh and make light of us.
504
00:38:28,625 --> 00:38:34,295
Perhaps Ouchi has
angered the Ashina...
505
00:38:34,295 --> 00:38:37,000
and dares not leave.
506
00:38:37,434 --> 00:38:41,371
Let us send envoys to
learn the truth.
507
00:38:42,406 --> 00:38:44,373
Then we can still break with him.
508
00:38:47,644 --> 00:38:50,646
Masamune took Kojuro's advice.
509
00:38:54,251 --> 00:39:00,394
You have been warring
with the Tamura,
510
00:39:00,924 --> 00:39:06,095
but joining the Date
will solve this problem.
511
00:39:06,530 --> 00:39:08,440
Did Lord Masamune say that?
512
00:39:10,467 --> 00:39:14,170
Our former lord, Terumune, did.
513
00:39:14,605 --> 00:39:18,310
If you return to Yonezawa,
514
00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:24,309
your life and lands
will be saved.
515
00:39:25,215 --> 00:39:30,255
I am most grateful,
but I cannot turn back.
516
00:39:31,288 --> 00:39:38,362
If you are concerned
about the Ashina,
517
00:39:39,296 --> 00:39:43,501
give us a hostage
for the time being.
518
00:39:44,368 --> 00:39:45,688
Ridiculous.
519
00:39:49,973 --> 00:39:52,542
I refuse, I say.
520
00:39:52,542 --> 00:39:56,248
Lord Ouchi, give this
careful thought.
521
00:39:56,248 --> 00:39:59,848
Your very clan is in peril.
522
00:39:59,848 --> 00:40:02,054
Though it invites destruction,
523
00:40:02,054 --> 00:40:03,529
I won't go to the Date.
524
00:40:04,554 --> 00:40:06,861
You will be willing to fight us?
525
00:40:06,861 --> 00:40:08,891
Don't be swell-headed!
526
00:40:09,926 --> 00:40:12,961
The Date greenhorn can't
defeat the Ouchi.
527
00:40:12,961 --> 00:40:15,303
It's like a mouse attacking a cat.
528
00:40:15,303 --> 00:40:16,605
Mouse?
529
00:40:16,605 --> 00:40:19,611
Go back to tell Lord Masamune...
530
00:40:19,611 --> 00:40:21,646
You can't get eggplant
from a melon vine.
531
00:40:22,572 --> 00:40:25,073
A coward's son is a coward!
532
00:40:25,073 --> 00:40:25,813
You wretch!!
533
00:40:25,813 --> 00:40:26,876
Sagetsu!
534
00:40:26,876 --> 00:40:28,216
Our guests are leaving!
535
00:40:31,648 --> 00:40:33,615
Let us see you out.
536
00:40:40,791 --> 00:40:42,428
Lord Ouchi...
537
00:40:42,428 --> 00:40:48,437
The battleground will prove
whether we are cats or mice.
538
00:40:59,376 --> 00:41:00,581
It's war!
539
00:41:00,581 --> 00:41:01,815
Off with their heads!
540
00:41:01,815 --> 00:41:02,913
Slay him and display his head!
541
00:41:02,913 --> 00:41:05,981
He must be punished, sire!
542
00:41:05,981 --> 00:41:08,255
He is no samurai.
543
00:41:08,255 --> 00:41:09,922
We must fight!
544
00:41:09,922 --> 00:41:11,897
Please declare a battle!
545
00:41:11,897 --> 00:41:13,264
Silence!
546
00:41:16,417 --> 00:41:17,448
Sire.
547
00:41:19,293 --> 00:41:20,965
Am I a mouse?
548
00:41:20,965 --> 00:41:21,940
No!
549
00:41:21,940 --> 00:41:22,908
A coward?
550
00:41:22,908 --> 00:41:23,902
No!
551
00:41:24,534 --> 00:41:26,239
Then you know my answer.
552
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,337
We fight!
553
00:41:28,672 --> 00:41:29,547
Destroy the Ouchi!
554
00:41:29,547 --> 00:41:30,508
Wait!
555
00:41:32,142 --> 00:41:35,084
The Ouchi is not our enemy!
556
00:41:36,513 --> 00:41:38,457
What did you say?
557
00:41:39,483 --> 00:41:41,286
We don't fight the Ouchi.
558
00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:46,020
I plan to destroy the Ashina of Aizu.
559
00:41:49,292 --> 00:41:50,434
The Ashina?
560
00:41:52,662 --> 00:41:53,501
Sire!
561
00:41:53,501 --> 00:41:56,001
The Ouchi are hiding
behind the Ashina.
562
00:41:56,001 --> 00:41:58,746
Defeat the Ashina,
and the Ouchi are nothing!
563
00:41:59,932 --> 00:42:02,146
We must strike the enemy
at its roots!
564
00:42:02,146 --> 00:42:03,341
Well said!
565
00:42:04,274 --> 00:42:06,809
We fight the Ashina!
566
00:42:12,449 --> 00:42:13,427
The map!
567
00:42:13,427 --> 00:42:14,355
Yes.
568
00:42:14,684 --> 00:42:15,651
Gather 'round!
569
00:42:21,291 --> 00:42:28,461
The Ashina and Satake will
come to help the Obama.
570
00:42:29,933 --> 00:42:31,274
But we'll come from the North...
571
00:42:31,274 --> 00:42:33,836
Into Aizu from Hibara Pass.
572
00:42:34,871 --> 00:42:36,240
What do you think, Masakage?
573
00:42:38,975 --> 00:42:40,014
Indeed.
574
00:42:40,744 --> 00:42:44,211
Before that, we should find
someone who can spy on Aizu.
575
00:42:45,248 --> 00:42:46,782
Can you think of anyone?
576
00:42:46,782 --> 00:42:51,055
I have a skilled assistant from Aizu.
His name is Hirata Taroemon.
577
00:42:51,055 --> 00:42:52,326
Can he do it?
578
00:42:52,326 --> 00:42:54,458
He's a shrewd man.
579
00:42:55,492 --> 00:42:57,265
Then get him!
580
00:42:57,265 --> 00:42:58,362
Yes, sire!
581
00:42:58,362 --> 00:43:02,002
We fight the Ashina!
582
00:43:02,002 --> 00:43:03,562
Let's do it!!
583
00:43:13,777 --> 00:43:15,721
Just 6 months after
becoming the clan's head,
584
00:43:15,721 --> 00:43:23,127
19-year-old Masamune would
challenge the Ashina.
585
00:43:24,154 --> 00:43:28,128
The Ashina were the
mightiest clan in the Tohoku.
586
00:43:29,359 --> 00:43:32,796
Whether it was heroism or folly,
587
00:43:33,027 --> 00:43:36,698
this battle would prove
Masamune's ability.
588
00:43:41,345 --> 00:43:42,295
End of Episode Nine
589
00:43:50,023 --> 00:43:52,913
