1. Four points apart!
Copy !req
2. If Lord Tokiyuki wants to win…
Copy !req
3. …he needs five more!
Copy !req
4. Hey! What's up with that?
Copy !req
5. He's deliberately trying to sabotage!
Copy !req
6. Lord Tokiyuki only has two arrows left.
Copy !req
7. He needs to hit the
head or neck to win this!
Copy !req
8. Give it up.
Copy !req
9. Trying to turn the table by scoring more
than four points against me in this state?
Copy !req
10. Good luck with that!
Copy !req
11. Young Master!
Copy !req
12. Looks like we've got a winner already.
Copy !req
13. Run, Chojumaru!
Copy !req
14. Do you really think you have a chance
by relying only on your bow?
Copy !req
15. You must shoot while running!
Copy !req
16. Shooting… while running?
Copy !req
17. Lord Yorishige, do you think
he'd get the message?
Copy !req
18. Oh…
Copy !req
19. It's all clear.
Copy !req
20. When I am fleeing, my mind
is clear and I can see everything.
Copy !req
21. If I aim for the dogs, Sadamune will
always get in the way from my blind spot.
Copy !req
22. It's impossible for me
to hit a small target,
Copy !req
23. whose movement is unpredictable
while avoiding interference.
Copy !req
24. Wait…
Copy !req
25. There's one!
Copy !req
26. There's a target that even
I can hit at a certain moment!
Copy !req
27. Turning his body back?
Copy !req
28. A backward shooting technique…
Copy !req
29. Fool.
Copy !req
30. It's called a blind spot since you can't
aim at me even by turning your body.
Copy !req
31. You can't twist your body any further
in the position you're in astride the horse!
Copy !req
32. For I… am the elusive Hojo heir!
Copy !req
33. I can do anything while running!
Copy !req
34. Neck shot from up front, two points!
Copy !req
35. All right!
Copy !req
36. I get it!
Copy !req
37. If he aims for the dog,
Copy !req
38. Sadamune will always approach him
Copy !req
39. from a blind spot!
Copy !req
40. His angle and distance are fixed, too!
Copy !req
41. Sadamune's also a bigger target than dogs!
Copy !req
42. That split-second,
spur-of-the-moment decision…
Copy !req
43. His sense of balance and flexible body
that allows him to shoot an acrobatic shot…
Copy !req
44. His potential will only
blossom when he's running away!
Copy !req
45. It's settled now.
Copy !req
46. His specialty is back shots.
Copy !req
47. In the future, they'll be
called by a more juvenile nickname.
Copy !req
48. Not yet…
Copy !req
49. I'm still two points ahead!
Copy !req
50. His arms are on the left side!
Copy !req
51. As long as I protect my head,
he won't be able to turn the table!
Copy !req
52. It has become a synonym
with attack on the run.
Copy !req
53. The name is…
Copy !req
54. Parthian shot.
Copy !req
55. Before Christ, the Middle
Eastern nation of Parthia…
Copy !req
56. …defeated the mighty Roman army,
the most powerful in the world,
Copy !req
57. by shooting behind.
Copy !req
58. They'd approach the enemies, go past them,
as if running away, and then shoot behind.
Copy !req
59. The Roman heavy infantrymen
were unable to do anything
Copy !req
60. and ran out of power.
Copy !req
61. Headshot from up front, three points!
Copy !req
62. Final score, 6-5! Chojumaru wins!
Copy !req
63. All right!
Copy !req
64. This is for the girl you shot in the ear.
Copy !req
65. It was a coincidence that
I hit him in the ear, though…
Copy !req
66. Well done, my lord!
Copy !req
67. It must be fun to fight while running away!
Copy !req
68. It must be fun to fight while running away!
Copy !req
69. We'll be developing your skills even more now!
Copy !req
70. All right, Sir Sadamune.
Copy !req
71. Time for your promise.
Copy !req
72. You will leave Suwa,
Copy !req
73. and never lay hands on our lands anymore.
Copy !req
74. Don't get cocky!
Copy !req
75. Shooting dogs is just
a form of entertainment!
Copy !req
76. You who have joined the rebels
will soon forfeit your territories!
Copy !req
77. I'll go find the remnants of Hojo
slowly after that!
Copy !req
78. Curse you, Yorishige…
Copy !req
79. Why did you bring out that little boy?
Copy !req
80. I doubted very much that there
was a solid chance of his winning.
Copy !req
81. And the way he was acting…
Copy !req
82. There was an upper-class elegance that
didn't rub off so well on me at his age.
Copy !req
83. Could he be…
Copy !req
84. He's one of Hojo?
Copy !req
85. No, he would never bring
out a VIP like him to me!
Copy !req
86. I can't tell Yorishige's intention!
Copy !req
87. Sadamune has good eyes.
Copy !req
88. Hence, he must have been too aware
of everything and got confused.
Copy !req
89. We have arranged with a certain person…
Copy !req
90. …to spread rumors throughout
the country that a person…
Copy !req
91. …who seems to be a member
of Hojo is hiding out there.
Copy !req
92. Both gods and people will think
you're there when they think you are.
Copy !req
93. That's how great your power is.
Copy !req
94. If you are suspected to be
anywhere in the country,
Copy !req
95. the attention of the
enemy will be dispersed.
Copy !req
96. In the meantime,
both you and I will build up our strength.
Copy !req
97. Grow strong, okay?
Copy !req
98. This is the battle to advance
while running away!
Copy !req
99. We're already sprinting toward the throne!
Copy !req
100. They were deemed dastardly techniques,
useless to a warrior.
Copy !req
101. The skills I learned for
my lord were so condemned.
Copy !req
102. The more I honed my skills,
the more I lost the trust of my lord,
Copy !req
103. who suspected me of stealing
and banished me from his house,
Copy !req
104. after many years of service.
Copy !req
105. Look.
Copy !req
106. You have inherited my skills.
Copy !req
107. Take on my name and principle.
Copy !req
108. Trust nothing but money!
Copy !req
109. Trust and loyalty cannot return to
where they are lent!
Copy !req
110. Sell your skills and believe
only in the money you can get now!
Copy !req
111. Genba!
Copy !req
112. Keep at it, Young Master!
Copy !req
113. One, two!
Copy !req
114. One, two! Keep it up!
Copy !req
115. Why do I, the heir to the Shogunate…
Copy !req
116. …have to perform hard labor?
Copy !req
117. Your current identity now…
Copy !req
118. …is Chojumaru of the Suwa Grand Shrine.
Copy !req
119. If you don't work on a regular basis,
Copy !req
120. you'll look suspicious
when the enemy arrives.
Copy !req
121. Although, the only one
who'd come here is Sadamune.
Copy !req
122. We really embarrassed him yesterday.
Copy !req
123. Bet he won't show his
face around for some time…
Copy !req
124. Heya.
Copy !req
125. And he's here with a smile…
Copy !req
126. Formidable, I must say…
Copy !req
127. Kept you waiting, huh, Suwa!
Copy !req
128. I brought the Emperor's decree.
Copy !req
129. Decree?
Copy !req
130. Didn't he bring one just the other day?
Copy !req
131. The last one was a decree to appoint him
Copy !req
132. as the governor of Shinano…
Copy !req
133. This one has to be…
Copy !req
134. Suwa and their retainers'
lands north of Lake Suwa,
Copy !req
135. are confiscated for
their support for Hojo,
Copy !req
136. and the lands become
the Ogasawara domain!
Copy !req
137. N-No way!
Copy !req
138. Within ten days,
Copy !req
139. we will ask all of you who
live on the lands in question to leave.
Copy !req
140. Be sure to convince them solemnly
as their lord.
Copy !req
141. What should we do now?
Copy !req
142. This land has been painstakingly
cultivated by our ancestors!
Copy !req
143. We can't just hand it over to Ogasawara!
Copy !req
144. We have no choice but to fight them.
Copy !req
145. Lord Yorishige.
Copy !req
146. Awaiting your orders.
Copy !req
147. If we go against the decree
and wage a war,
Copy !req
148. we will be deemed traitors.
Copy !req
149. It is not the time for that.
Copy !req
150. You should return home now.
Copy !req
151. Chojimaru.
Copy !req
152. Yes!
Copy !req
153. There are chores to be done now,
so you will stay.
Copy !req
154. I hear you call your group
the Elusive Warriors.
Copy !req
155. Truly fits you at best.
Copy !req
156. That doesn't sound like a compliment.
Copy !req
157. Anyway, what should we do now?
Copy !req
158. Hm?
Copy !req
159. At this rate, the Suwa people…
Copy !req
160. You are a reasonable
and righteous person.
Copy !req
161. But that alone won't cut it.
Copy !req
162. Hm?
Copy !req
163. Actually, there's someone I want
to introduce to the Elusive Warriors.
Copy !req
164. Huh?
Copy !req
165. He's a thief who goes
by the name Genba Kazama.
Copy !req
166. A thief?
Copy !req
167. He uses every trick in the book to sneak
in anywhere and steal anything he can.
Copy !req
168. Whoa…
Copy !req
169. But, why a thief?
Copy !req
170. I have a favor to ask of you.
Copy !req
171. Use him to steal the Emperor's decree
from Sadamune's mansion.
Copy !req
172. According to the
information from the capital,
Copy !req
173. it takes an awfully long time
to issue the decree letters.
Copy !req
174. If we make them disappear,
Copy !req
175. this will buy us some time.
Copy !req
176. We can't do something so evil…
Copy !req
177. Yes, however…
Copy !req
178. From now on, being right alone is
not enough to do what is truly right.
Copy !req
179. You can use criminals as your retainers,
Copy !req
180. and be the general
with everything at his disposal.
Copy !req
181. Will he be okay, Lord Yorishige?
Copy !req
182. We can't just send children,
including Lord Tokiyuki…
Copy !req
183. Even so,
Lord Tokiyuki is a child of a ruler.
Copy !req
184. You'll definitely see a glimpse of him
as a vessel for the empire.
Copy !req
185. He should be somewhere in this village.
Copy !req
186. Um, excuse me.
Copy !req
187. May I ask you something?
Copy !req
188. What is it, little ones?
Copy !req
189. We are looking for someone.
Copy !req
190. Oh, do you know their name?
Copy !req
191. Yes, it's Genba Kazama.
Copy !req
192. Genba Kazama…
Copy !req
193. Genba Kazama…
Copy !req
194. Genba Kazama…
Copy !req
195. That's his name…
Copy !req
196. Huh?
Copy !req
197. Whoa…
Copy !req
198. Now I know he's really hated here.
Copy !req
199. Nobody can revolt against me.
Copy !req
200. If you do…
Copy !req
201. …you'll be seeing hell on earth.
Copy !req
202. Above!
Copy !req
203. And somehow
Young Master's also on the tree!
Copy !req
204. Name's Genba Kazama.
Copy !req
205. I heard my name from
three miles away, so I came.
Copy !req
206. What's your business?
Copy !req
207. My name's Chojumaru
of the Suwa Grand Shrine.
Copy !req
208. I want to have you
as my personal retainer.
Copy !req
209. Chojumaru, my ass.
Copy !req
210. You's gotta be a Hojo kid.
Copy !req
211. Wonder how much I'll get
if I sell you out to Ogasawara…
Copy !req
212. Stay back, Young Master!
Copy !req
213. Damn! I knew we couldn't trust thieves!
Copy !req
214. Take it easy, plonkers.
Copy !req
215. We're just about to
start our negotiations.
Copy !req
216. My wallet!
Copy !req
217. Such fast hands…
Copy !req
218. My skills don't come cheap.
Copy !req
219. As payment for me to shut my mouth,
it'll be a hundred mon.
Copy !req
220. And another hundred for a job!
Copy !req
221. So expensive!
Copy !req
222. M-Money?
Copy !req
223. Not a dime less.
Copy !req
224. You want my help?
Copy !req
225. Then you know we're only connected
through money, eh?
Copy !req
226. Money…
Copy !req
227. If he's so shocked with this,
this won't be worth much.
Copy !req
228. You can't move people without money.
Copy !req
229. No matter how prestigious
your family might be,
Copy !req
230. you're now just
a normal kid without anything.
Copy !req
231. The vessel for an emperor, my ass.
Copy !req
232. Time you face reality, boy!
Copy !req
233. I just have to pay you, right?
Copy !req
234. Yeah.
Copy !req
235. Only if you can!
Copy !req
236. Trying to get into debt?
Copy !req
237. Are you sure?
Copy !req
238. You don't want a land?
Copy !req
239. Huh?
Copy !req
240. Land?
Copy !req
241. To be honest, I was surprised.
Copy !req
242. If you become my retainer
Copy !req
243. and help me reclaim the throne
with your unusual abilities,
Copy !req
244. you will be my genuine and meritorious
retainer from the time of my banner raising.
Copy !req
245. It's only natural that you'd be given
a province like Kai or Musashi.
Copy !req
246. How selfless of you!
Copy !req
247. You don't want the land, but only money!
Copy !req
248. Kai…
Copy !req
249. Musashi!
Copy !req
250. Down you go, slowly…
Copy !req
251. Well, even I would get confused.
Copy !req
252. Don't worry about your
living expenses for now.
Copy !req
253. The shrine will cover for them.
Copy !req
254. But are you sure you
want to be paid upfront?
Copy !req
255. Hm?
Copy !req
256. If Big Brother reclaims the whole nation,
Copy !req
257. you can get more than
tens of thousands mon.
Copy !req
258. E-ve-ry-year.
Copy !req
259. I feel you.
Sounds like a gamble, isn't it?
Copy !req
260. You can either earn a few coins
for the moment,
Copy !req
261. or you can serve Young Master
and bet on the future.
Copy !req
262. But you know…
Copy !req
263. I guess you won't get aboard
with this promising gamble, eh!
Copy !req
264. But then again, you won't find another
heir at wits' end seeking your help…
Copy !req
265. For-e-ver.
Copy !req
266. Don't tempt me out of both ears!
Copy !req
267. Let me decide for myself!
Copy !req
268. Darn… I was going to wind you up
by teasing you as I pleased…
Copy !req
269. Oh, fine.
Copy !req
270. I wonder if it will stain…
Copy !req
271. Hey, boy.
Copy !req
272. You said you wanted
to steal the Emperor's decree?
Copy !req
273. I have a condition.
Copy !req
274. The Emperor's decree is so effective!
Copy !req
275. We will cut off Suwa's territory
and eventually it will all be ours!
Copy !req
276. I'm not willing to risk my life
for an irresponsible employer.
Copy !req
277. I'll take this job only if you tag along.
Copy !req
278. So that warehouse's where the decree is.
Copy !req
279. Just like what the shrine girl said.
Copy !req
280. I thought you'd be scared.
Copy !req
281. It's only natural that I accompany you.
Copy !req
282. I'm the one asking you
to steal the decree.
Copy !req
283. Very auspicious of you.
Copy !req
284. But be careful.
Copy !req
285. Mess this one up,
and you'll end up like them.
Copy !req
286. Can we trust him?
Copy !req
287. He might sell out Young Master
by taking him to an inescapable place…
Copy !req
288. Oh, you worry too much.
Copy !req
289. That boy was recommended
by Lord Yorishige.
Copy !req
290. He's the same as us.
Copy !req
291. We just became Young Master's
retainers out of the blue one day.
Copy !req
292. And it's fun now, right?
Copy !req
293. Well, yeah.
Copy !req
294. Can never get bored of him.
Copy !req
295. Just casually locking the door
with three locks, eh?
Copy !req
296. Can you unlock them?
Copy !req
297. I eat those for breakfast.
Copy !req
298. The problem is the two guards
in front of the warehouse.
Copy !req
299. After all, there is no better lock
than a live human being.
Copy !req
300. But I can open them. That's my skill.
Copy !req
301. If you're not too scared, come on over.
Copy !req
302. He's really excited…
Copy !req
303. Do you do whatever you are told to do?
Copy !req
304. Have you no shame for
being the son of a great warrior?
Copy !req
305. Shame…
Copy !req
306. I threw most of it away
when I fled Kamakura.
Copy !req
307. And I do things not because I'm told to.
Copy !req
308. I want to repay the people in Suwa.
Copy !req
309. If I can repay them for their
warm welcome,
Copy !req
310. I won't feel any shame.
Copy !req
311. Pathetic.
Copy !req
312. Look, you ignorant boy.
Copy !req
313. A debt of gratitude or obligation will
always be taken away sooner or later.
Copy !req
314. What you can't see is as good as nothing.
Copy !req
315. However…
Copy !req
316. Show them money or
fear and people will comply.
Copy !req
317. Money… or fear?
Copy !req
318. For example,
Copy !req
319. a woman didn't want to pay
for an affair investigation.
Copy !req
320. And then…
Copy !req
321. I sneaked into her house.
Copy !req
322. Then I mixed
roaches and piss into her rice,
Copy !req
323. and cooked it!
Copy !req
324. Eventually, no one could defy me anymore.
Copy !req
325. Oh, so that's why he got hated.
Copy !req
326. People only believe what they can see.
Copy !req
327. Genba?
Copy !req
328. Stay put.
Copy !req
329. Hey.
Copy !req
330. Sadamune?
Copy !req
331. I can't be here.
Copy !req
332. But where should I go?
Copy !req
333. But Genba told me to stay put…
Copy !req
334. Genba…
Copy !req
335. Don't tell me…
Copy !req
336. He was planning on luring me out here…
Copy !req
337. M-My lord?
Copy !req
338. Several nails on the north fence
are loose.
Copy !req
339. Fix them right now.
Copy !req
340. B-But…
Copy !req
341. We were ordered
to not leave the warehouse…
Copy !req
342. Fools!
Copy !req
343. What if the enemy attacks tonight?
Copy !req
344. You want to redeem it with your heads?
Copy !req
345. Th-That was careless of us!
We're on it right away!
Copy !req
346. M-My lord…
Copy !req
347. What's up with those ears…
Copy !req
348. It's my cute charm!
Copy !req
349. Did it strike your taste?
Copy !req
350. Y-Yes!
Copy !req
351. It struck my taste like a night assault!
Copy !req
352. It's a fox mask covered in secret clay.
Copy !req
353. I can turn into almost anyone.
Copy !req
354. He knew who I was because he had already
infiltrated the Suwa Grand Shrine?
Copy !req
355. By turning into someone I know…
Copy !req
356. Hey…
Copy !req
357. You thought I was betraying you, eh?
Copy !req
358. Oh, this the one?
Copy !req
359. The decree you's looking for?
Copy !req
360. Genba?
Copy !req
361. I can steal anything and turn into anyone.
Copy !req
362. Anyone would be suspicious if they
had a guy like me under their command.
Copy !req
363. Are you sure you can
employ me without any doubt?
Copy !req
364. You, the young master who
got betrayed by hundreds of warriors?
Copy !req
365. I can hear voices in the warehouse…
Copy !req
366. Whispering voices… Two boys?
Copy !req
367. What happened to the guards?
Copy !req
368. The north fence?
Copy !req
369. Why so far away?
Copy !req
370. - Goro.
- Yes!
Copy !req
371. Wake Sir Sadamune up.
Copy !req
372. Hikohachiro, wake up the retainers.
Setaro, contact the gatekeepers.
Copy !req
373. Yes!
Copy !req
374. If only I hadn't been here
in the dark of night today,
Copy !req
375. we wouldn't have had to expose those kids.
Copy !req
376. (Episode 6: Steal the Imperial Command from
Ogasawara's Residence at Night!) Coming forth!
Copy !req
