There are almost no historical records on the facts...

surrounding Takeda's tragedy with Yoshinobu.

"l didn't tell you this,

but I want you to become guardian for Taro."

It has been told that Obu Hyobu Toramasa alone...

attempted to revolt against Shingen using Taro as a figurehead.

Toramasa had served three generations of the Takeda family,

Nobutora, Shingen, and Yoshinobu.

What changed his destiny?

"ls everything you taught me a lie?!"

"Show me your justice!"

What was it that changed his fate?

Your Highness, I beg of you!

Stay back!

If you go before His Lordship now,

it will only make matters worse.

Please refrain yourself!

What if Yoshinobu is ordered to kill himself?

I said, let me go!

I will not!

It will only put Lord Takeda into a rage,

and Yoshinobu will have no hope of living.

Stop Her Highness!

Let me go!

Let me go!

I must save Yoshinobu!

Obu Hyobu Shoyu Toramasa,

are there any explanations for your traitorous behavior?

There are none.

Then, let me ask you,

Why did you rise against me?

In the name of justice.

What kind of justice?

Kai should not be attacking Suruga.

It is our duty and obligation to protect...

those countries with which we have alliances.

Thus, in the name of God,

I had hoped to recall justice to Kai by my act.

Be honest!

Didn't you do this not in the name of God,

but by orders from my son Yoshinobu?

I did it on my own!

Don't lie!

It is not a lie!

Lying at this stage is dishonorable.

Be open with me. Tell me everything.

I have told you everything.

There is nothing more to say.

Please sentence me to kill myself.

Everyone leave!

No one is to remain!

Do not return until I summon you again!

Why didn't anyone stop Sir Obu?!

Are you men blind?

This happened right after Obu retired.

Don't tell me you didn't notice Lord Yoshinobu's immature hand.

What is that?

This uprising was all Obu's doings!

Do not bring Lord Yoshinobu into this.

What's that, old man?!

You're unpardonable!

Think of what Obu is going through!

Calm down!

What will arguing among yourselves do?

Obu...

Please command me to disembowel myself.

Apologize to me.

Apologize to me.

If you apologize, then I will forgive you.

Everyone makes mistakes.

If you ask for my forgiveness,

I will grant it. So Apologize.

There is nothing for me to apologize for.

If I apologize, I am admitting I am wrong.

Who cares about that?

I don't want you to die.

You have served Kai and myself as an invaluable vassal.

You are covering up for my son Yoshinobu as his guardian...

and have chosen to die for him.

Such loyalty is useless! Live!

You helped me to become the ruler of Kai,

and we have lived and fought together for over twenty years.

I will be honest with you.

I would rather take Yoshinobu's life than to take yours.

You are valuable to this Kai.

So beg for my forgiveness!

I can't forgive you if you don't apologize!

Apologize!

If I apologize, I am admitting I was wrong.

Never mind who is right or wrong!

Apologize!

If I have acted wrongly against you,

then I can't go on living!

Fool! Why won't you understand?!

Please give me the death penalty!

Unless you apologize, I can't save Yoshinobu!

Yoshinobu has nothing to do with this!

Please believe my words!

Unless you speak the truth,

Yoshinobu will also have to die!

The Young Lord has nothing to do with this!

Believe me! Give me death.

Someone!

Someone!

Behead Obu Hyobu!

Reporting. Obu Hyobu has been sentenced to die.

Give Obu's troops a standstill order.

Obu Saburobei. Inform his family.

Please grant me the task of beheading Obu.

Obu Hyobu arose against me last night,

and tried to assassinate me.

Therefore, I sentenced him to commit seppuku.

Obu is not guilty.

He just followed my orders.

Obu said you didn't know anything about this.

He is just being loyal.

So you are the leader of this plot?

Yes. It was me, Taro Yoshinobu.

You wanted my life?

Yes.

Yoshinobu.

I beg of you, please spare Yoshinobu!

I promise that he will never do this again. Please.

Mother! Raise your head!

I am not asking for his forgiveness!

Please grant me this lifetime request!

Obu Hyobu was a chief vassal...

who had served the Takeda for generations.

I am on the verge of losing this man,

all because of your willfulness.

If you wanted to take my life,

why didn't you come before me with your sword?!

Obu never wanted to commit treason.

To crush your insolent ambitions,

he divulged his intent to his younger brother Saburobei,

and chose death.

Why did you drive him that far?

I will not let Obu die alone.

It is not only his life! His men were also killed!

Sentence me to seppuku. Seppuku! Seppuku!

Refrain yourself, Yoshinobu!

You exiled you father and took over the rule.

Now you attack your neighbor and kill your son!

Someone!

I would love to die at your hands!

Since your blood flows through my body,

you can stop the life with your own hands!

I would be pleased to die!

Confine Yoshinobu!

Yoshinobu!

Brother will be committing suicide tomorrow morning,

so please bid him farewell today.

Brother has been transferred to Tokoji.

Please come with me.

Yes.

I feel sorry for my brother.

What will happen to Lord Yoshinobu?

It will be decided later.

What about Yae?

Yae?

Yes.

Is Yae involved in this past act of treason?

As you well know, from the day she clung to my husband,

he was doomed for this day.

She visited him to discuss this plot.

This is a grave matter. Don't speak of it so lightly.

Yae serves Lady Sanjo.

If there is any indication of Yae's treason,

Lady Sanjo will also be suspected.

Please punish that woman!

Or, my husband won't die in peace.

Yae...

By any means, save Yoshinobu.

Yes.

My son Harunobu rose up against his father,

and exiled him to another province.

Remembering this,

the actions of his son caused him much heartache...

and he could not help but regret his disobedience.

Harunobu reflected on his way of life.

As I look back, my life was...

one of wandering over dead bodies in barren fields with a bloody sword.

Even if I lived for Kai,

I have revolted twice and betrayed both Lords Nobutora and Shingen.

I was pursuing my dreams...

Iike one searching for a moon on a moonless night.

While being perfectly aware that pure justice does not exist,

I am easily swayed and can only be ashamed of my stupidity.

I never did anything for you and only caused you worries.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

Farewell.

I will accompany you.

No. Live.

It is my one and only request.

No. Live my share to the fullest!

If you live, you will experience spring with blooming flowers again.

They match!

Princess. Please continue.

I don't think that matches.

Let her do as she pleases.

Yes. Please forgive me.

You love to match shells, don't you?

Yes.

Omatsu, come here.

Omatsu. The Lord is calling you.

No.

What are you saying?

Never mind.

You're a good girl...

Such a nice scent...

As a parent myself,

please give Yoshinobu consideration.

Our age has ended.

After serving Lord Nobutora and Lord Shingen,

I never dreamed Kai would grow to this size.

We sure fought a lot.

Who knows what will happen under the third lord.

This may be the best time to go.

All good generals ultimately die.

Sir ltagaki, Sir Amari, Lord Nobushige,

and Sir Yamamoto Kansuke have all died.

I am the only one who can't die.

How I envy you.

It is a man's dream to die in revolt.

I can't say much now, but I thank you sincerely.

I am glad you are assisting me.

Please look after Kai.

May good fortune come to Kai.

Your assistance...

Reporting. The head is ready for viewing.

Here is Obu Hyobu Shoyu Toramasa's head.

Lock Yoshinobu up in Tokoji Temple!

I can't suppress my anger at my son.

I can't forgive my son for causing Obu's death.

People's hearts are difficult to comprehend.

You can't control your emotions.

I exiled my father and confined my son.

Repeating the act twice in my lifetime,

I cannot help but consider myself as a demon.

Parent and child aren't strongly bonded by blood.

In the mother's womb, they are one,

at birth, they become two bodies with two minds.

With a mind of their own, a heart develops.

Men are swayed by greed and lose sight of things.

It is difficult to control one's mind.

But, you must learn to live with yourself.

Examine your faults.

If you ignore them, your faults will continue to inflate.

Father.

Come in.

Yes.

I am here with a request.

Please forgive my brother's disobedience.

It is hard to see Mother so distressed.

I lost my vision as a child.

Hearing my older brother is confined in a dark room,

frightens me.

Please provide him light. I beg of you.

His misfortune is your misfortune.

To forgive him is to forgive yourself.

His fear... is clear to my eyes.

It stems from fear of rejection by you.

Please understand his feelings.

We shall end here for tonight.

To be continued.

To be continued.
