2
00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:11,733
"During the reign of the third Shogun,
Tokugawa Iemitsu-ko..."
3
00:00:12,133 --> 00:00:15,190
"...an unexpected disaster took place."
4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,813
"Scarlet smallpox swept across the country..."
5
00:00:18,906 --> 00:00:22,200
"...taking the lives of young men,
one after another."
6
00:00:22,426 --> 00:00:25,280
"Ironically, this national crisis..."
7
00:00:25,373 --> 00:00:28,626
"...led to the destined encounter of these two."
8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,213
It wasn't my choice to become this way.
9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,653
I have no reason to want to live in
the Ooku concealed as a boy!
10
00:00:35,786 --> 00:00:37,706
Even I do.
11
00:00:38,973 --> 00:00:43,773
For your sake, I was recently brought here
where I did not wish to be.
12
00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:48,666
If you feel you are
the only one who is in pain...
13
00:00:48,973 --> 00:00:51,630
...then you are greatly mistaken!
14
00:00:51,746 --> 00:00:54,786
"The one person I must try and save..."
15
00:00:54,933 --> 00:00:57,966
"...has been right here before me
all this time."
16
00:00:59,106 --> 00:01:02,786
"Right here before me like this..."
17
00:01:03,013 --> 00:01:05,520
"...is a person struggling with such pain."
18
00:01:05,746 --> 00:01:08,906
"Is not that one person alone enough?"
19
00:01:17,531 --> 00:01:20,875
Episode 4: "The Fruit That Will Not Grow;
A Poisonous Snake Creeps In"
20
00:01:21,110 --> 00:01:24,133
"1 Year Later (Kan'ei 18 (1641)), Summer"
21
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,453
Well done!
22
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,320
Well done!
23
00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:50,720
Very well done, Arikoto-sama.
24
00:01:50,850 --> 00:01:52,546
There is no need for flattery, Masashi.
25
00:01:52,653 --> 00:01:54,106
What are you saying?
26
00:01:54,190 --> 00:01:57,080
You've improved a great deal
over this last year.
27
00:01:57,190 --> 00:02:00,080
Your instructor, Kiyonari-sama,
was saying so as well.
28
00:02:00,293 --> 00:02:03,986
If I have, it is all thanks to
Kiyonari-dono's instruction.
29
00:02:04,250 --> 00:02:06,266
I felt from the first that, unlike fencing...
30
00:02:06,346 --> 00:02:09,870
...archery doesn't injure people
and all you have to do is strike at a target.
31
00:02:09,973 --> 00:02:12,000
It is very profound and interesting.
32
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:15,946
It is regrettable that your muscles
are poor for fencing.
33
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,920
No. I am already no match for Gyokuei.
34
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:26,693
It may be that that boy is far
more familiar with the Ooku than I am.
35
00:02:34,906 --> 00:02:36,860
Beat him, Gyokuei! Beat him!
36
00:02:36,906 --> 00:02:38,860
That's far enough!
37
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,190
In that case, who's next?
Now, who'll be next?
38
00:02:42,333 --> 00:02:44,466
I can still go on.
Who will it be?!
39
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:46,786
Okay! Then I'll take you on next!
40
00:02:48,573 --> 00:02:50,613
Begin!
41
00:02:54,133 --> 00:02:57,066
Arikoto-sama, please teach me the bow next.
42
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,920
No, I am hardly taught myself.
43
00:03:06,190 --> 00:03:10,006
Oh, Gyokuei.
Haven't you grown taller again?
44
00:03:10,506 --> 00:03:14,093
I was told by Isuke of the kitchens that
I'm growing faster than bamboo shoots do.
45
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,240
When I saw you for the first time last year,
I thought you were a very good-looking child.
46
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,933
Arikoto-sama.
47
00:03:21,946 --> 00:03:25,026
Please tell me the exact date
for when your next lecture will be.
48
00:03:25,106 --> 00:03:29,000
Well, it is not such an exaggerated thing
that it can be called a "lecture."
49
00:03:29,093 --> 00:03:33,080
No. During those moments when
I am listening to your words...
50
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:35,973
...I am greatly comforted.
51
00:03:36,190 --> 00:03:39,530
Here in Edo Castle, they are said to be
a ward against the Shogun's loss in battle.
52
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,293
For those of us who must dwell in
the gloominess that is the Ooku...
53
00:03:47,893 --> 00:03:49,453
Very well.
54
00:03:49,613 --> 00:03:53,786
Starting with this month,
let us gather on the 5th of each one.
55
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,110
Yes! I will immediately inform everyone.
56
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,530
There is certain to be
a great deal of pleasure about this.
57
00:04:00,853 --> 00:04:02,520
Well then...
58
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,306
"Nagasaki"
59
00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:15,860
- Masakastu.
- Yes.
60
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,540
As I recall, in order to keep
the Christian people confined to Nagasaki...
61
00:04:20,653 --> 00:04:23,000
...we have made a small island.
62
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,210
Yes. The one called Dejima?
63
00:04:26,666 --> 00:04:30,666
Should we move the Dutch
trading posts to this Dejima?
64
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,746
And as well, any trading establishments
of more than a year...
65
00:04:35,906 --> 00:04:38,600
...shall be prohibited from staying in Japan.
66
00:04:39,253 --> 00:04:42,186
However, at such a harsh decision,
the Dutch will...
67
00:04:42,253 --> 00:04:44,040
They will accept it.
68
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,640
Because the Shogunate will prohibit
the arrival of Portuguese ships.
69
00:04:47,906 --> 00:04:51,850
The Dutch will then be in a position
to monopolize trade with Japan, won't they?
70
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,190
The Dutch won't have to part
with their interests.
71
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,520
That's true.
72
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,860
Fascinating, isn't it?
73
00:05:02,386 --> 00:05:06,530
It is completely as if Japan
has put itself into a basket.
74
00:05:06,626 --> 00:05:09,530
To outside countries, we will be invisible.
75
00:05:10,053 --> 00:05:13,213
Just like this Ooku.
76
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,133
Right, Masakastu?
77
00:05:15,226 --> 00:05:17,460
Yes. That's true.
78
00:05:19,773 --> 00:05:25,030
Masakatsu, your "That's true, that's true."
That's all you say, isn't it?
79
00:05:25,213 --> 00:05:28,130
- Shogun.
- It's okay.
80
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,640
And, about the scarlet smallpox.
81
00:05:34,413 --> 00:05:36,510
Has that still not settled down yet?
82
00:05:36,610 --> 00:05:37,786
Ah...
83
00:05:38,026 --> 00:05:43,133
Far from settling down, it is rare for even
one boy per family to come of age.
84
00:05:43,426 --> 00:05:46,840
Not only farmers,
but daimyo clans as well.
85
00:05:47,026 --> 00:05:50,680
Fiefs are suffering as their heirs die,
one after another.
86
00:05:51,013 --> 00:05:53,920
That is convenient for us as well.
87
00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:55,560
Huh?
88
00:05:55,826 --> 00:05:58,780
Ah, you're so slow.
89
00:05:59,173 --> 00:06:02,586
For the Shogunate,
powerful daimyos can pose a menace.
90
00:06:02,653 --> 00:06:05,540
If they aren't making heirs...
91
00:06:06,540 --> 00:06:08,253
Ah...
92
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,580
Then we could take advantage of the daimyos.
93
00:06:10,706 --> 00:06:12,240
That's right.
94
00:06:12,453 --> 00:06:15,680
We can have them dissolved.
95
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,026
I see.
96
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,460
However, they could easily just adopt a child.
97
00:06:25,493 --> 00:06:30,200
Adopting a child requires
the permission of the Shogunate, right?
98
00:06:30,373 --> 00:06:33,053
I won't be issuing such permissions.
99
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,520
Well, well?
100
00:06:36,653 --> 00:06:39,613
This will give rock-solid control
to the Tokugawas.
101
00:06:39,973 --> 00:06:44,520
I am far better at governing
than you are, Masakastu.
102
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,893
Indeed.
103
00:06:48,133 --> 00:06:50,373
It surely is your sagacity.
104
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,653
It is quite the same as your dead father's.
105
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,093
I'm not happy about that.
106
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,870
Shogun. Your father...
107
00:07:05,226 --> 00:07:08,320
Your father was a splendid Shogun.
108
00:07:08,653 --> 00:07:11,466
If you had only been a boy...
109
00:07:11,613 --> 00:07:13,813
Anyhow, I'm...
110
00:07:14,786 --> 00:07:17,013
...not a Shogun.
111
00:07:18,346 --> 00:07:19,920
Still...
112
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,960
Talking to you about politics...
113
00:07:24,386 --> 00:07:27,146
...is a good way to kill the boredom.
114
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,840
Both you and I...
115
00:07:31,506 --> 00:07:34,560
...are fellows inherently not of this world.
116
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,593
So we can complain about
being bored here in the Ooku.
117
00:07:40,653 --> 00:07:42,253
Shogun...
118
00:07:45,653 --> 00:07:49,386
Shogun, please excuse me.
119
00:07:49,733 --> 00:07:51,653
Is it Arikoto?
120
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,733
Yes, it is Arikoto.
I have just returned.
121
00:08:15,973 --> 00:08:20,880
Is the ocean that beautiful?
122
00:08:20,986 --> 00:08:22,386
Yes.
123
00:08:22,866 --> 00:08:27,040
The sound of the returning waves
is indeed a pleasant one...
124
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,720
"Saa, saa," like that.
125
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,653
It is like a musical performance.
126
00:08:38,746 --> 00:08:41,613
I should like to see it once.
127
00:08:42,546 --> 00:08:44,106
With you...
128
00:08:44,573 --> 00:08:45,973
Yes.
129
00:08:47,573 --> 00:08:49,333
Arikoto.
130
00:08:50,293 --> 00:08:53,520
If once I gave birth to an heir...
131
00:08:53,986 --> 00:08:57,200
...both you and I would become unnecessary,
wouldn't we?
132
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:58,866
Yes.
133
00:09:03,866 --> 00:09:06,640
The day might come...
134
00:09:07,226 --> 00:09:10,213
...when we may be able
to leave this Ooku, won't it?
135
00:09:16,893 --> 00:09:18,480
Yes.
136
00:09:18,946 --> 00:09:22,113
At that time, straight away...
137
00:09:22,666 --> 00:09:24,753
...I want to go to the ocean.
138
00:09:26,786 --> 00:09:28,133
Yes.
139
00:09:28,546 --> 00:09:32,610
We can become an old man
and an old woman together.
140
00:09:37,690 --> 00:09:41,546
That day may indeed come, won't it?
141
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,613
Shogun.
142
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,800
You should already be asleep.
143
00:09:49,173 --> 00:09:54,053
In our dreams, let us dream of the ocean.
144
00:09:54,626 --> 00:09:56,200
Yes.
145
00:10:05,213 --> 00:10:07,240
Arikoto.
146
00:10:08,213 --> 00:10:10,493
Are you asleep?
147
00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:16,320
No. What is it?
148
00:10:19,373 --> 00:10:21,213
Um...
149
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,540
Would you like to hear the things...
150
00:10:29,293 --> 00:10:31,786
...I spoke to Masakatsu about during the day?
151
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:38,706
Would you come to hate me if I did?
152
00:10:43,146 --> 00:10:48,293
I don't know what sort of person
it is that you hate.
153
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,493
But...
154
00:10:50,826 --> 00:10:53,880
...I still don't really know how
it is I should behave...
155
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,860
...so that you would come to love me.
156
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,213
I don't want to be hated by you.
157
00:10:59,386 --> 00:11:01,853
What do you think you are saying?
158
00:11:05,786 --> 00:11:08,466
For me to hate the Shogun...
159
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:11,613
There is no reason for me to do such a thing.
160
00:11:12,706 --> 00:11:14,346
Truly?
161
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:16,800
Truly?!
162
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,160
This wig wasn't made from the hair
taken away from those Edo girls.
163
00:11:23,346 --> 00:11:26,540
Because you were angry about that before...
164
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,360
...I made sure this was
properly paid for by Den'emon.
165
00:11:28,493 --> 00:11:30,180
In that case, it's fine, isn't it?
166
00:11:30,253 --> 00:11:31,493
- Right?
- Yes.
167
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,880
It looks very good on you.
168
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,186
Truly?
169
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,906
Your rouge and face powder, as well.
170
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:47,586
The kimono you wore during the day
also looked good on you.
171
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,960
But, about your appearance...
172
00:11:52,186 --> 00:11:55,453
Did you not receive any commands from
Kasuga no Tsubone-sama about it?
173
00:11:55,746 --> 00:11:58,506
I'm well-informed, after all.
174
00:11:59,693 --> 00:12:01,400
When I became like this...
175
00:12:01,530 --> 00:12:04,850
...Kasuga-dono wouldn't let me out
of the room with it on.
176
00:12:05,346 --> 00:12:08,280
Kasuga complained about it at first...
177
00:12:08,426 --> 00:12:10,866
...but now she just keeps quiet about it.
178
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,293
In that case, it should be fine.
179
00:12:17,386 --> 00:12:19,373
From the start...
180
00:12:19,530 --> 00:12:23,530
...my Father would wear makeup like a woman...
181
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,040
...and called himself an actor.
182
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,493
That's a famous story among the lower classes.
183
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,333
So when I do the same thing...
184
00:12:35,466 --> 00:12:38,086
...nothing is troubled because of it.
185
00:12:47,106 --> 00:12:49,053
Arikoto.
186
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,173
Your eyes are so sorrowful.
187
00:12:52,653 --> 00:12:55,733
Is it because I spoke in this nasty way?
188
00:13:19,186 --> 00:13:22,093
I love you.
189
00:13:26,386 --> 00:13:28,200
Arikoto...
190
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:39,893
Love you...
191
00:13:45,293 --> 00:13:47,226
Love you...
192
00:14:07,146 --> 00:14:12,690
Heiwa Fansubs Presents:
"Ooku ~ Tanjou ~ Arikoto - Iemitsu Hen"
"Shogun's Harem ~ Birth ~ Arikoto - Iemitsu Volume"
193
00:14:30,130 --> 00:14:33,386
Well now, those two are in
a harmonious relationship.
194
00:14:33,493 --> 00:14:36,720
Having seen them,
I would even call it heartwarming.
195
00:14:37,026 --> 00:14:38,826
Arikoto-sama has, how do I put it...
196
00:14:38,946 --> 00:14:44,373
...steadily made one round after another here and
has endeared himself to many in the Ooku.
197
00:14:44,630 --> 00:14:47,926
More than anything else,
there is the change in the Shogun herself.
198
00:14:48,506 --> 00:14:51,890
She has calmed so much that she is like
a completely different person...
199
00:15:01,266 --> 00:15:06,360
It is true that although the Shogun has not
taken one step outside of this Ooku...
200
00:15:06,466 --> 00:15:08,173
...she shows surprising insights
into government...
201
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,873
Such things are irrelevant.
202
00:15:11,293 --> 00:15:15,300
It has been one year since
Arikoto was called to her side.
203
00:15:16,013 --> 00:15:17,970
Nevertheless...
204
00:15:18,693 --> 00:15:22,360
It is alarming that as of yet we have not seen
even one sign of pregnancy in the Shogun.
205
00:15:22,493 --> 00:15:23,346
Well, that is..
206
00:15:23,426 --> 00:15:26,240
And therefore, all that has no meaning!
207
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:31,426
Consider what the reason was
for having Arikoto!
208
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:36,160
For pete's sake...
209
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:40,466
For what sake have we endured
all these hardships up until now?
210
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,266
At this rate, the Iemitsu-ko bloodline will...
211
00:15:49,893 --> 00:15:54,400
"The man, when posed a question
about his pearl..."
212
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,573
"...answered it had vanished like the dew."
213
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,320
"The Tales of Ise"
(book of poetry from the Heian era, 794-1185)
214
00:16:02,533 --> 00:16:05,300
We cannot be positive since
some of the words have been omitted.
215
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,186
In other words,
this is a love poem based upon a true story.
216
00:16:11,106 --> 00:16:14,300
A man who had fallen in love with
a certain noble woman...
217
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,300
...stole off with the Princess
and eloped with her.
218
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,960
The tenderly raised Princess
saw dew on the grass in the moonlight.
219
00:16:33,293 --> 00:16:37,280
When she asked the man, "Are those pearls?"
220
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,630
...the man was not in a position to answer her.
221
00:16:40,866 --> 00:16:44,300
That night, the Princess saw a demon...
222
00:16:44,413 --> 00:16:47,453
...who then ate her in the blink of an eye.
223
00:16:49,786 --> 00:16:55,373
True pursuers came,
and they regained the Princess.
224
00:16:56,093 --> 00:16:59,630
After that, the Princess came to be
the wife of the Emperor.
225
00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:04,053
She was now eternally out of the man's reach.
226
00:17:04,986 --> 00:17:07,253
And then the man was grieved.
227
00:17:07,906 --> 00:17:10,760
So when asked, "Whither is thy pearl?"
228
00:17:11,173 --> 00:17:13,360
...he would answer, "That was dew."
229
00:17:13,630 --> 00:17:15,630
Rather, like dew.
230
00:17:15,986 --> 00:17:20,266
It would have been better for the two of them
to have disappeared together...
231
00:17:24,346 --> 00:17:27,880
Well then, that should do it for today.
232
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,386
Thank you very much!
233
00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:34,900
That was splendid.
234
00:17:43,586 --> 00:17:45,946
That was a success.
235
00:17:46,946 --> 00:17:48,970
Masakatsu-sama.
236
00:17:49,146 --> 00:17:50,560
Gyokuei.
237
00:18:06,786 --> 00:18:09,186
All of them are hungry for learning.
238
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:11,290
No, I am no scholar.
239
00:18:11,413 --> 00:18:15,826
It is merely a get-together to discuss
Chinese schools of thought and poetry...
240
00:18:15,986 --> 00:18:18,960
...and to consider what legends
and other poetry we know.
241
00:18:19,146 --> 00:18:22,053
A certain person wishes to join you.
242
00:18:22,946 --> 00:18:25,546
They wear a hood...
243
00:18:26,786 --> 00:18:29,626
That isn't what it means...
244
00:18:34,946 --> 00:18:38,506
Is the Shogun in good humor
and beautiful again today?
245
00:18:38,670 --> 00:18:43,300
Yes. She is exceptionally beautiful.
246
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,813
After lunch, it seems she wishes...
247
00:18:47,106 --> 00:18:50,333
...to explore the garden with Arikoto-dono.
248
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,690
Very well.
249
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,853
Well then, please excuse me.
250
00:19:01,933 --> 00:19:05,240
Masakatsu-dono, what is the matter?
251
00:19:05,786 --> 00:19:06,933
Huh?
252
00:19:07,106 --> 00:19:09,413
For some reason, from your appearance...
253
00:19:13,306 --> 00:19:16,950
No. I have said something I should not have.
254
00:19:20,146 --> 00:19:24,240
Today is the anniversary of their death.
255
00:19:24,693 --> 00:19:28,360
Death anniversary? Whose...
256
00:19:32,093 --> 00:19:35,973
A certain... someone.
257
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,213
"You will die in his place."
258
00:19:50,746 --> 00:19:55,020
"You will wear the kimono of the Shogun
and hide your face with a hood..."
259
00:19:55,853 --> 00:19:58,106
"...and live as the Shogun."
260
00:20:10,013 --> 00:20:14,653
"Inaba Masakatsu, Governor of Tango Province
7th Death Anniversary Service"
261
00:20:20,306 --> 00:20:24,133
"Eldest Son
Tsuruchiyo"
262
00:20:26,066 --> 00:20:29,866
"Eldest Daughter
Nono"
263
00:20:43,946 --> 00:20:45,853
Mother.
264
00:20:46,386 --> 00:20:49,426
Please wait, Mother.
265
00:20:53,093 --> 00:20:56,090
What business do you have with me?
266
00:20:56,706 --> 00:20:58,346
Um...
267
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,060
- Um...
- I am in a hurry, so speak quickly.
268
00:21:07,613 --> 00:21:12,826
Even if only for a little while, could you give
your greetings to Tsuruchiyo and Nono?
269
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,360
Those children were so looking forward
to seeing their Grandmother.
270
00:21:19,706 --> 00:21:25,226
Did I not just speak to them a moment ago,
saying how much they had grown?
271
00:21:26,186 --> 00:21:29,333
Are you dissatisfied by only that much?
272
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,893
No...
273
00:21:38,893 --> 00:21:41,933
By the time I was your age...
274
00:21:42,493 --> 00:21:44,420
...I had already separated from my husband.
275
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,480
I had made up my mind to become
wet nurse to the Shogun.
276
00:21:49,826 --> 00:21:55,106
As you are both a mother and wife
to the dead Masakatsu...
277
00:21:55,746 --> 00:21:58,690
...you must now be a little more level-headed.
278
00:22:02,346 --> 00:22:04,133
My Lord...
279
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,533
Is Masakatsu-sama really and truly dead?!
280
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,706
All this time... for these six years, I...
281
00:22:16,946 --> 00:22:20,090
I've felt that...
282
00:22:20,373 --> 00:22:23,346
...Masakatsu-sama must indeed be alive...
283
00:22:25,786 --> 00:22:27,746
Yuki-sama.
284
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,090
Keep in mind your position.
285
00:23:18,306 --> 00:23:21,346
- Go left at that corner.
- Yes.
286
00:23:38,013 --> 00:23:42,070
Whaa, what a handsome guy!
287
00:23:55,180 --> 00:24:01,173
Still, if a powerful daimyo who is a menace
to the Shogunate is unable to put up an heir...
288
00:24:01,650 --> 00:24:04,600
...we can take advantage of that
to dissolve the daimyo clan.
289
00:24:04,933 --> 00:24:09,653
And if they wanted to install an adopted child,
they would need the Shogunate's permission.
290
00:24:10,226 --> 00:24:11,773
I see.
291
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:16,013
We can take advantage of this crisis where the
scarlet smallpox doesn't allow boys to be raised...
292
00:24:16,306 --> 00:24:18,973
...to change the rankings of
the daimyo all at once.
293
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,986
That is an excellent plan.
294
00:24:21,220 --> 00:24:24,080
Just what you'd expect from
the bright and able Governor of Tango.
295
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,480
No, a certain someone...
296
00:24:26,780 --> 00:24:28,120
Don't be so modest.
297
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,746
For these six years, such discernment even
without having set foot outside of the Ooku...
298
00:24:31,933 --> 00:24:36,280
Under ordinary circumstances, we would have
had you join us and be the seventh.
299
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,293
That you had to do this
for your family is regrettable.
300
00:24:40,346 --> 00:24:43,800
Then after that,
there's the birth of an heir.
301
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,740
The Shogun has been
calling to her side for a year now...
302
00:24:48,266 --> 00:24:51,730
...that handsome monk
who became secularized, right?
303
00:24:51,893 --> 00:24:56,960
As you say, it's been one year,
and yet he's been unable to make her pregnant...
304
00:24:57,986 --> 00:25:00,293
About that.
305
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:04,100
All of you, do not worry about that.
306
00:25:05,733 --> 00:25:08,760
I have already set things in motion.
307
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,480
"Sutezo"
308
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,860
Oi, oi, oi.
People're watching, Oei-san.
309
00:25:48,973 --> 00:25:51,040
I don't mind.
310
00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:53,860
I want to show you off.
311
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,226
In these times when there are no men...
312
00:25:56,360 --> 00:26:00,870
...being intimate with a handsome man like you...
313
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,540
...makes me a beautiful woman.
314
00:26:03,773 --> 00:26:06,540
Ya don't have ta be with me fer that.
315
00:26:06,620 --> 00:26:09,000
Oei-san, yer already a beautiful woman.
316
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,266
No, geez...
317
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,220
I wouldn't like it if you cast me aside.
318
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,826
Say... Let's be sure and meet again.
319
00:26:20,253 --> 00:26:22,346
Definitely, now.
320
00:26:26,530 --> 00:26:28,586
What are ya saying?
321
00:26:28,733 --> 00:26:31,693
I'm da one who wants ta see ya.
322
00:26:40,986 --> 00:26:43,253
That's a promise, Oei-san.
323
00:26:43,426 --> 00:26:45,586
See ya again. Definitely.
324
00:26:51,413 --> 00:26:53,213
Sutezo!
325
00:26:54,860 --> 00:26:56,946
Damn! It's Daddy.
326
00:26:57,020 --> 00:27:00,106
This fool's been neglecting the shop again!
327
00:27:00,213 --> 00:27:03,030
- See ya later!
- Flirting with some woman, are ya!
328
00:27:03,093 --> 00:27:05,030
Daddy came!
329
00:27:06,306 --> 00:27:08,106
"Secondhand Clothes"
330
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,760
Whaa! It's Sutezo-san!
331
00:27:14,580 --> 00:27:18,860
I truly am pitiful.
332
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,133
Outta da four boys born ta us...
333
00:27:23,266 --> 00:27:27,870
...da only one we could raise
to adulthood was ya alone.
334
00:27:27,946 --> 00:27:30,890
Are ya listening?!
335
00:27:31,146 --> 00:27:33,210
Say, Daddy.
336
00:27:33,333 --> 00:27:35,466
There just aren't many men bein' born...
337
00:27:35,550 --> 00:27:38,870
...who kin help out at
their parent's business nowadays.
338
00:27:39,106 --> 00:27:42,253
And out in back of our house...
339
00:27:42,853 --> 00:27:46,693
...dere's already someone important from
the Shogun carefully watching us.
340
00:27:46,773 --> 00:27:50,210
Shut up, ya!
Yer such a great man, huh?
341
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,600
'Cause yer some kinda stallion, huh?
342
00:27:52,693 --> 00:27:54,973
Dear, you're getting angry like that again...
343
00:27:55,013 --> 00:27:56,346
Ya be quiet.
344
00:27:56,530 --> 00:28:00,540
Since long ago,
a man made his keep by working hard.
345
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,386
But you have ta go 'round
cheating like some overbearing brat!
346
00:28:04,493 --> 00:28:07,426
Well, I was born atta a good time.
347
00:28:07,530 --> 00:28:11,130
- Oi, Sutezo!
- Dear, wait...
348
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,520
I done heard da stories of
how it was before I was born.
349
00:28:15,870 --> 00:28:17,973
But ta be frank, it's boring.
350
00:28:18,293 --> 00:28:20,540
"Work hard, work hard."
351
00:28:20,733 --> 00:28:22,973
With da money I makes from women...
352
00:28:23,093 --> 00:28:26,760
...I kin earn far and away more than what
this secondhand clothing shop does.
353
00:28:30,013 --> 00:28:34,470
I'm gonna build me a palace with it.
354
00:28:41,530 --> 00:28:45,200
Sute-san, let's meet again.
355
00:28:45,333 --> 00:28:47,600
Yeah, we will.
356
00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:51,470
- See you again.
- Yeah.
357
00:28:58,550 --> 00:29:00,666
You there, townsman.
358
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,800
I'm speaking to you.
359
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,920
Yes, Samurai-sama.
What business do you have with me?
360
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,860
My business is that
you have been called for.
361
00:29:12,333 --> 00:29:13,860
This way.
362
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,706
- Wait here.
- Yes.
363
00:29:33,973 --> 00:29:36,040
I have brought him.
364
00:29:57,746 --> 00:30:00,540
Raise your head.
365
00:30:03,706 --> 00:30:05,693
Show her your face.
366
00:30:06,106 --> 00:30:07,493
Yes...
367
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:45,490
- Kasuga.
- Yes, Shogun.
368
00:30:45,813 --> 00:30:47,893
Thank you, Kasuga.
369
00:30:50,013 --> 00:30:55,840
You were thinking of me, weren't you?
370
00:30:58,186 --> 00:31:00,040
Oman...
371
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,466
About Arikoto.
372
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,826
Thanks to you, Kasuga, I got to meet Arikoto.
373
00:31:11,333 --> 00:31:13,653
I will always be...
374
00:31:13,946 --> 00:31:16,933
...the Shogun's ally.
375
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,200
Yeah.
376
00:31:51,180 --> 00:31:53,280
- I'll do it.
- This is fine.
377
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,546
I was thinking of showing them to the Shogun.
378
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,386
Shogun, please excuse me.
379
00:32:47,173 --> 00:32:50,026
Wada-sama and Katsuta-sama are coming.
380
00:32:53,053 --> 00:32:55,866
I wonder what business
those two have with Arikoto-sama?
381
00:32:56,093 --> 00:33:00,120
No, no, Gyokuei.
Their business seems to be with you.
382
00:33:03,266 --> 00:33:05,026
Don't be so formal, Gyokuei.
383
00:33:05,170 --> 00:33:07,053
It's only natural I'd be formal.
384
00:33:07,546 --> 00:33:10,826
I haven't forgotten what you did to me.
385
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,913
There's no time to talk about
old things like that.
386
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,440
What we want to discuss right now is...
387
00:33:18,106 --> 00:33:19,666
Gyokuei.
388
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:26,600
Kasuga no Tsubone-sama has been busy having
the dead Sunami-sama's spare room cleaned up.
389
00:33:31,906 --> 00:33:33,780
You understand, don't you?
390
00:33:34,653 --> 00:33:37,133
That is exactly what happened one year ago...
391
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,413
...when Arikoto-dono entered the Ooku.
392
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,320
Eh?
393
00:33:43,146 --> 00:33:44,973
What you're saying is...
394
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,026
You're lying. Both Wada-sama
and Katsuta-sama are trying to deceive me.
395
00:33:51,100 --> 00:33:52,400
Gyokuei.
396
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,773
Arikoto-dono...
397
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,626
...for occasions such as New Year's
and the other seasonal festivals...
398
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,810
...he's made it our duty to manage
the male servants of the Ooku during those.
399
00:34:02,906 --> 00:34:07,490
To us whose daily lives
had been made up of nothing...
400
00:34:07,733 --> 00:34:09,693
...the effect is that we have
something to live for.
401
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,733
We already...
402
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,880
...owe our thanks to Arikoto-dono.
403
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,853
There isn't anything we harbor against him.
404
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,520
I said that you would not have to raise a hand.
405
00:34:38,226 --> 00:34:41,240
Yes, yes, I had forgotten.
406
00:34:43,146 --> 00:34:46,806
Rest assured that the 7th Death Anniversary
for Inaba Masakatsu, Governor of Tango...
407
00:34:47,013 --> 00:34:50,133
...ended safely.
408
00:34:52,013 --> 00:34:55,680
Um, please tell me one thing.
409
00:34:56,653 --> 00:35:00,500
How are Yuki, Tsuruchiyo and Nono...
410
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:05,100
They are in good health.
There is nothing for you to worry about.
411
00:35:16,826 --> 00:35:20,853
Gyokuei.
You're strangely quiet today.
412
00:35:21,293 --> 00:35:25,360
Ah... That's not true.
413
00:35:31,020 --> 00:35:33,666
Please excuse me, Arikoto-dono.
414
00:35:33,986 --> 00:35:36,130
It's Masakatsu-sama.
415
00:35:42,093 --> 00:35:45,490
Arikoto-dono,
when you have finished your dinner...
416
00:35:45,773 --> 00:35:48,093
...come to Kasuga no Tsubone-sama.
417
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,806
Kasuga no Tsubone-sama?
418
00:35:59,373 --> 00:36:01,520
I have kept you waiting.
419
00:36:03,066 --> 00:36:05,120
Please enter.
420
00:36:40,706 --> 00:36:42,506
Now then...
421
00:36:43,170 --> 00:36:47,506
I have called for another person
to come here today.
422
00:36:50,026 --> 00:36:51,986
Arikoto-dono.
423
00:36:54,830 --> 00:36:57,686
Up until today,
you have indeed been working hard...
424
00:36:57,906 --> 00:37:01,093
...as the Shogun's partner.
425
00:37:09,293 --> 00:37:12,240
From here on though, this Sutezo...
426
00:37:12,466 --> 00:37:15,966
...will serve as the Shogun's partner.
427
00:37:23,580 --> 00:37:26,013
I never grow tired looking at
how beautiful he is.
428
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,293
Kasuga no Tsubone-sama...
429
00:37:27,380 --> 00:37:30,720
The Shogun should be
well satisfied from now on, good, good.
430
00:37:30,830 --> 00:37:33,500
- Kasuga no Tsubone-sama!
- What is it?
431
00:37:33,786 --> 00:37:35,560
This is...
432
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,626
...impossible.
433
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:43,653
The Shogun, above all, would by no means...
434
00:37:44,066 --> 00:37:46,666
By no means would she accede to such a thing.
435
00:37:46,773 --> 00:37:48,586
Well then...
436
00:37:49,260 --> 00:37:51,546
I will have you be the one...
437
00:37:51,786 --> 00:37:56,530
...to tell the Shogun that
you are being replaced.
438
00:37:57,706 --> 00:37:59,280
No...
439
00:37:59,490 --> 00:38:01,853
Can you not understand?
440
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:07,146
You have been the samurai
at the Shogun's side for one year...
441
00:38:07,573 --> 00:38:11,673
...and yet the Shogun has not
given birth to an heir.
442
00:38:12,026 --> 00:38:14,920
It is probably because
you do not have any seed.
443
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,573
Having a person such as you
at the Shogun's side is useless for her.
444
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,466
Arikoto-dono.
445
00:38:22,746 --> 00:38:26,760
You should act responsibly
and know when to quit! This is unsightly!
446
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,333
This was a place...
447
00:38:38,813 --> 00:38:41,560
...I had never wished to come to.
448
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,546
Yet even so...
449
00:38:45,293 --> 00:38:48,813
I searched desperately for what I could do...
450
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,093
...and at last, by being with the Shogun...
451
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,226
...I had found a way to live.
452
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,693
Just a little longer...
453
00:38:59,906 --> 00:39:03,226
Please wait just a little longer!
454
00:39:03,426 --> 00:39:06,826
Above all else, this sort of treatment
would be too cruel to the Shogun.
455
00:39:06,933 --> 00:39:10,053
This is exactly the same as
treating her as a tool!
456
00:39:11,013 --> 00:39:16,200
To connect the bloodline
is what you say you are waiting for.
457
00:39:16,850 --> 00:39:19,986
But to go to these lengths
to protect the Tokugawa family...
458
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,133
Just what on earth is it you want from them!?
459
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,160
It is...
460
00:39:34,546 --> 00:39:38,580
...a peaceful world without war.
461
00:40:49,810 --> 00:40:52,213
I have a request.
462
00:40:54,106 --> 00:40:55,840
That entirely after this...
463
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,053
...you decline to ask me to your bed.
464
00:41:09,853 --> 00:41:11,333
Why?
465
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,440
Why would you say such a thing?
Arikoto...
466
00:41:16,533 --> 00:41:22,100
There is a new Ochuro samurai
who will be at the Shogun's side.
467
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,706
Are you...
468
00:41:30,586 --> 00:41:34,426
Are you asking me to share my bedroom
with another man?!
469
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,693
I won't...
470
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:47,186
No! Nooo!
471
00:41:47,293 --> 00:41:48,520
Shogun.
472
00:41:48,660 --> 00:41:49,433
Shogun!
473
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:51,880
You know what happened to me!
474
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,026
And yet that didn't matter to you.
475
00:41:55,333 --> 00:41:58,680
Any other man would only
have made fun of me over it!
476
00:41:59,150 --> 00:42:02,760
My body was always just dirty.
477
00:42:02,946 --> 00:42:05,880
I was raped and I shed blood...
478
00:42:07,213 --> 00:42:09,186
If you defied Kasuga...
479
00:42:09,706 --> 00:42:12,506
...do you think your life would be in danger?
480
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,680
Die! Just die!
481
00:42:17,090 --> 00:42:19,426
Such a coward should just die!
482
00:42:19,490 --> 00:42:21,826
Please kill me.
483
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,946
Please kill me.
484
00:42:44,586 --> 00:42:46,266
I can't.
485
00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:49,146
I couldn't do such a thing.
486
00:42:49,226 --> 00:42:52,693
I was lying, Arikoto!
I don't want you to die!
487
00:42:55,013 --> 00:42:57,493
No matter how terrible a man you are...
488
00:42:57,820 --> 00:43:00,040
I love you, Arikoto.
489
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,120
I love you.
490
00:43:30,490 --> 00:43:33,146
Kasuga's a fool.
491
00:43:35,466 --> 00:43:37,846
My not being able to have a child...
492
00:43:38,106 --> 00:43:40,666
...isn't Arikoto's fault.
493
00:43:42,613 --> 00:43:45,440
I am a barren woman.
494
00:43:48,580 --> 00:43:52,660
When I gave birth to my daughter,
the delivery was extremely difficult.
495
00:43:55,226 --> 00:43:57,960
Whatever man I sleep with...
496
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,820
...I cannot become pregnant.
497
00:44:12,226 --> 00:44:16,253
Say, Arikoto.
498
00:44:19,093 --> 00:44:21,206
When the time comes...
499
00:44:21,490 --> 00:44:24,280
...shall you and I die together?
500
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,053
Shall we perish...
501
00:44:30,306 --> 00:44:32,720
...along with the Tokugawa?
502
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:37,766
Yes.
503
00:44:42,626 --> 00:44:44,146
Yes!
504
00:44:46,693 --> 00:44:55,853
Mirai to kako kara ima wo terashidasu
Now illuminating both future and past
505
00:44:56,026 --> 00:45:03,453
Anata dake mitsumeteru
Staring at you alone
506
00:45:03,693 --> 00:45:10,693
Kono sekai ga ima nanika wo sakende mo
Even if this world is screaming out for something
507
00:45:10,786 --> 00:45:26,093
Tada hitori dake mamoreru nara nanimo iranai
I need nothing if I can protect only you
508
00:45:26,826 --> 00:45:32,635
Kizutsuita sono hate ni
If in the end I hurt you
509
00:45:33,154 --> 00:45:38,126
Itsuka wakare no hi ga kite mo
And the day comes when we must part
510
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,932
Ashita ga mienakute mo
Then I'll won't see a tomorrow
511
00:45:43,033 --> 00:45:52,951
Kono sekai wa futari dake no mono
This world is just the two of us
512
00:45:55,093 --> 00:46:02,213
Anata sae ireba ii
As long as there is you
513
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:09,880
Kono sekai de subete wo kanjite itai
I want to feel everything in this world
514
00:46:10,026 --> 00:46:21,933
Tada hitotsu dake daiji na mono dakishimete
Embracing you is the one and only important thing to me39380
