1. Our cover's blown.
They're about to surround us now.
Copy !req
2. We've found the decree. Time to bail.
Copy !req
3. Protecting you isn't my job.
Copy !req
4. Follow me, with everything you've got,
if you don't want to die.
Copy !req
5. I'll give you a cue.
Copy !req
6. We're barging in together.
Copy !req
7. And here's your souvenir!
Copy !req
8. The smoke and light
are making it hard to see the thieves!
Copy !req
9. Get rid of the smoke!
Copy !req
10. Give me that.
Copy !req
11. I can hear it...
Copy !req
12. I can hear it.
Copy !req
13. They distract us with fire and are
climbing the fence in the opposite way.
Copy !req
14. What!
Copy !req
15. My archery skills are still far inferior
to Lord Sadamune's!
Copy !req
16. Has the lord not arrived yet?
Copy !req
17. They escaped through the fence!
Copy !req
18. By the name of Lord Ogasawara,
don't let them escape!
Copy !req
19. It's a sign from Genba.
Copy !req
20. Let's lure out the pursuers.
Copy !req
21. Yeah.
Copy !req
22. Over there. They're on horseback.
Copy !req
23. I heard the galloping sound of horses,
Copy !req
24. but I didn't hear the kids' footsteps
from the fence to the horses.
Copy !req
25. Those horses are probably baits
prepared beforehand by their ally.
Copy !req
26. I don't hear their footsteps
trying to flee, either.
Copy !req
27. That would mean...
Copy !req
28. They're close by...
Copy !req
29. Inside that forest...
Copy !req
30. They're holding their breath silently.
Copy !req
31. Where...
Copy !req
32. are...
Copy !req
33. you...
Copy !req
34. hiding?
Copy !req
35. Sadamune's shadow, Sukefusa Ichikawa...
Copy !req
36. It's not fair to have those
superhuman ears in this darkness.
Copy !req
37. My illusions of visual deception
don't work.
Copy !req
38. This is bad.
Copy !req
39. At this rate, he'll find us.
Copy !req
40. Should I sell him out right here?
Copy !req
41. I messed up.
Copy !req
42. I shouldn't have tried to teach
the naive prince a lesson...
Copy !req
43. Well...
Copy !req
44. I'm leaving him.
Copy !req
45. I can get away by myself.
Copy !req
46. No!
Copy !req
47. No one will notice me tiptoeing away!
Copy !req
48. In a game of tag,
Copy !req
49. it's easiest to be spotted
when moving in close proximity!
Copy !req
50. Found you.
Copy !req
51. Curses!
Copy !req
52. It was a mistake to bring a long sword!
Copy !req
53. I can't get around fast!
Copy !req
54. Hey...
Copy !req
55. Don't worry. The blade struck a tree,
so I was only left with a scratch.
Copy !req
56. Why did you save me,
even though I was about to abandon you?
Copy !req
57. You could've run away on your own.
Copy !req
58. I doubted you earlier.
Copy !req
59. I won't be able to apologize if you die.
Copy !req
60. I have a feeble spirit,
Copy !req
61. and I'm immature as well.
Copy !req
62. There may be times in the future
when I doubt you again.
Copy !req
63. But I can swear
Copy !req
64. that I will never betray you.
Copy !req
65. Because I enjoy escaping with you.
Copy !req
66. Even from demons who
I can't escape on my own.
Copy !req
67. With your skill set, we can break away.
Copy !req
68. Thinking about it makes my heart race.
Copy !req
69. Even if you're on your last legs...
Copy !req
70. Even if you betray me...
Copy !req
71. We'll definitely be together
when we run away!
Copy !req
72. Despite having been betrayed
by a large number of people,
Copy !req
73. there is no record of him
ever betraying any of his allies.
Copy !req
74. One would say he was
a pretty dedicated general,
Copy !req
75. in times when turnover
and defection were commonplace.
Copy !req
76. Where are the thief rascals?
Copy !req
77. Darn it! My eyesight at night
is getting worse with age.
Copy !req
78. Oh, you fool...
Copy !req
79. You have me.
Copy !req
80. Oh, it's you, Sir Ichikawa!
Copy !req
81. Did he just speak to me casually?
Copy !req
82. With you around, we can kill
those thieves lurking at night!
Copy !req
83. Even though I'm much older
and higher in ranking than him...
Copy !req
84. Why is he speaking to me
in a casual manner?
Copy !req
85. We hid the horses just past the forest.
We should be close.
Copy !req
86. Yeah, let's go.
Copy !req
87. You're bleeding quite a lot.
Copy !req
88. If you keep moving,
you'll hit the ground real soon.
Copy !req
89. What...
Copy !req
90. Lightning strike?
Copy !req
91. Here he comes.
Copy !req
92. That was Sadamune's arrow.
Copy !req
93. No way... The sound of his horse
is coming from a field away.
Copy !req
94. He can't possibly aim well
in this darkness...
Copy !req
95. We're still some distance away
from our horse.
Copy !req
96. With him on my back,
we can't outrun his arrows.
Copy !req
97. Cursed kid...
Copy !req
98. Trust my ears and shoot away,
Lord Sadamune.
Copy !req
99. I wonder how many of our enemies
I have killed with my skill.
Copy !req
100. All right, Lord Sadamune.
Copy !req
101. Let's start with
the wounded kid, shall we?
Copy !req
102. Okay, Sir Ichikawa.
Copy !req
103. You will adjust my aim with your hearing.
Copy !req
104. I could've just ignored
a debt I can't see...
Copy !req
105. But if I can see the debt...
Copy !req
106. I gotta make sure I pay it back!
Copy !req
107. Look at you two old farts,
happily holding hands on a horse.
Copy !req
108. What a pain.
Copy !req
109. I'll just take you both out at once.
Copy !req
110. I've heard of a kid
with a fox mask like him.
Copy !req
111. A kid thief called Genba Kazama, eh?
Copy !req
112. Kazama?
Copy !req
113. Yes. His father was expelled from
the family for using cowardly skills
Copy !req
114. and thus bringing disgrace to other
warriors, so he was reduced to a thief.
Copy !req
115. The Kazama are a branch of the Suwa clan
living in Shinano.
Copy !req
116. Well, well, well!
Copy !req
117. I suppose Yorishige ordered you
to steal the Imperial Command, eh!
Copy !req
118. What command?
Copy !req
119. I just thought I'd play around
and tease you warriors.
Copy !req
120. Birds! I can't hear where he's going!
Copy !req
121. I don't know about killing,
Copy !req
122. but I can't just lose
to some thick-headed warriors...
Copy !req
123. in a game of tricks!
Copy !req
124. There!
Copy !req
125. Come on!
Copy !req
126. Stop trying to confuse us
with your useless movements!
Copy !req
127. But you're too naive!
Copy !req
128. I'd never miss my shots at this range!
Copy !req
129. Lord Sadamune.
Copy !req
130. There!
Copy !req
131. He cut the string with his tool!
Copy !req
132. That's foul play!
Copy !req
133. Foul?
Copy !req
134. My buddy had his eyes lit up
at these pranks of mine.
Copy !req
135. You people are old-fashioned.
Copy !req
136. No wonder that warehouse
only had old documents.
Copy !req
137. Which is why I told my accomplice this...
Copy !req
138. Paper is not for stealing.
Copy !req
139. It's something you burn and play with.
Copy !req
140. The oldest document in which
the description "shinobi" appears...
Copy !req
141. is the Taiheiki, which
describes this period.
Copy !req
142. In an era when integrity
was disappearing from samurai warfare,
Copy !req
143. those who could infiltrate covertly,
and sabotage, were in high demand.
Copy !req
144. Thus began the era of ninja.
Copy !req
145. He's gone?
Copy !req
146. He escaped, in a moment of distraction,
from the fire in the warehouse!
Copy !req
147. Lord Sadamune,
is the decree still inside the warehouse?
Copy !req
148. Get the wounded brat
and have him spill who's behind this!
Copy !req
149. The sound of hooves...
Copy !req
150. It's the bait who managed to run away!
Copy !req
151. We can't catch up to them
from this distance!
Copy !req
152. We all fell
for the fox-masked kid's tricks!
Copy !req
153. We came to rescue you, and now
look at you, so tattered and bruised.
Copy !req
154. Genba! Couldn't you
handle him more carefully?
Copy !req
155. She's right!
Copy !req
156. No. We managed to escape
those two because of Genba.
Copy !req
157. It was fun.
Copy !req
158. I hope we can play tag together again.
Copy !req
159. Genba,
Copy !req
160. if you were to meet a lord
you want to serve, even for no profit...
Copy !req
161. Take his money regardless!
Copy !req
162. Keep robbing him even if
you serve him in the afterlife!
Copy !req
163. Fine.
Copy !req
164. You make a deal with me for land.
Copy !req
165. Just so you know,
I won't forgive failure in payment.
Copy !req
166. If you fail to pay,
I'll follow your descendants,
Copy !req
167. all of them, and hunt them down.
Copy !req
168. So that means...
Copy !req
169. You'll play tag with my kids too?
Copy !req
170. Is that what you're saying?
Copy !req
171. No! I'm saying you're going to hell
on earth if you don't reclaim the nation!
Copy !req
172. So you'll play with me
once I reclaim the nation?
Copy !req
173. Just how spoiled can you be!
Copy !req
174. Genba, stop moving around!
Copy !req
175. We're gonna crash!
Copy !req
176. Go away.
Copy !req
177. You can't evict us unless you
can present the actual decree.
Copy !req
178. We know about you people.
Copy !req
179. You're trying to steal our lands
by saying it's the Imperial Command, eh?
Copy !req
180. No way we'll listen to someone
who doesn't have a decree!
Copy !req
181. Got a problem? Then show us the decree!
Copy !req
182. Curse you, people of Suwa...
What a useless revolt...
Copy !req
183. But a decree can be reissued in a month!
Copy !req
184. You're just prolonging your eviction!
Copy !req
185. We have a problem, my lord!
Copy !req
186. We can no longer take Suwa land!
Copy !req
187. What!
Copy !req
188. I'm the one who destroyed
the Kamakura Shogunate.
Copy !req
189. I have killed about 1,000
of the Shogunate's senior officers!
Copy !req
190. I'm the one who ordered
Takauji's rebellion.
Copy !req
191. It's hard work, you know,
flying back in time with the Buddha...
Copy !req
192. Most of them claim
false credit for the bounty.
Copy !req
193. Who knows how many years it'd take
if we were to verify each of them.
Copy !req
194. And our important government
affairs can't be dealt with...
Copy !req
195. This is a pain.
Copy !req
196. Right!
Copy !req
197. The emperor said it's a pain!
Copy !req
198. Leave the territories, except...
Copy !req
199. for the Hojo clan, untouched.
Copy !req
200. And it seems to also
include the Suwa territory.
Copy !req
201. - Me so sad!
- Let's just wait for another opportunity.
Copy !req
202. Curse you!
Copy !req
203. Speaking casually?
Copy !req
204. Suwa!
Copy !req
205. We did it! Finally, peace!
Copy !req
206. Glad we had bought some time.
Copy !req
207. If we had meekly surrendered
the territory to the Ogasawara,
Copy !req
208. we'd never have taken it back again.
Copy !req
209. You even obtained a reliable retainer.
Copy !req
210. I really can't thank you
enough, Lord Tokiyuki.
Copy !req
211. Yeah, Genba joining us sure is reassuring.
Copy !req
212. - Although, he's got some character...
- Come on, pour me some too!
Copy !req
213. With his techniques,
Copy !req
214. maybe we can have him infiltrate
Takauji's room and cut his throat?
Copy !req
215. That's not possible.
Copy !req
216. He can never be killed by assassination.
Copy !req
217. This is a good opportunity, Lord Tokiyuki.
Copy !req
218. You should know your enemy thoroughly now.
Copy !req
219. The true identity of the man,
Takauji Ashikaga,
Copy !req
220. immeasurable even to me.
Copy !req
221. Finally, you're traveling with few men.
Copy !req
222. EMPEROR GODAIGO'S SON
Copy !req
223. This place will be your grave.
Copy !req
224. If it isn't you, Prince Moriyoshi!
Copy !req
225. I would like to congratulate you
on your appointment as a general.
Copy !req
226. Your Majesty,
Copy !req
227. why have you repeatedly tried to kill me?
Copy !req
228. You will surely defy the emperor one day.
Copy !req
229. For my father's sake,
Copy !req
230. I shall dirty my own hands!
Copy !req
231. Protect Lord Takauji!
Copy !req
232. The servants are no match for him.
Copy !req
233. His followers are also very diverse,
Copy !req
234. ranging from stray warriors
to monks and lowlifes.
Copy !req
235. He's a man who can attract
a lot of people with his charm.
Copy !req
236. Leave this one to me...
Copy !req
237. No, he's only after me.
Copy !req
238. If I can speak to him face-to-face,
surely the misunderstanding will clear up.
Copy !req
239. Are you sure, Brother?
Copy !req
240. Not a problem.
Copy !req
241. He's just some royal general
with his followers.
Copy !req
242. Your Majesty!
Copy !req
243. It's Takauji!
Copy !req
244. Kill him!
Copy !req
245. Please, calm down.
Copy !req
246. Don't flinch! Push forward!
Copy !req
247. Whoops.
Copy !req
248. Now that's a lot.
Copy !req
249. Takauji Ashikaga...
Copy !req
250. My hunch was right.
Copy !req
251. You're a monster who
doesn't belong in this world!
Copy !req
252. Please wait for a moment, Your Majesty.
Copy !req
253. We'll soon be alone.
Copy !req
254. All right, it's done.
Copy !req
255. Your Majesty.
Copy !req
256. Please, believe me.
Copy !req
257. Have faith in my loyalty to the emperor.
Copy !req
258. I can't compare to him in a duel!
Copy !req
259. But I'm not alone.
Copy !req
260. If I join forces with my comrades,
Copy !req
261. I'll be able to...
Copy !req
262. What's the commotion here?
Copy !req
263. He's drawing his sword...
Copy !req
264. You people! Just the right time!
Copy !req
265. Back me up...
Copy !req
266. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
267. Lord Takauji!
Copy !req
268. Oh my! Lord Takauji!
Copy !req
269. It's him in the flesh!
Copy !req
270. Are you okay, my lord?
Copy !req
271. Are you hurt?
Copy !req
272. It's nothing.
Copy !req
273. Thank heavens...
Copy !req
274. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
275. We're worried about you.
Let's have you checked up in the office.
Copy !req
276. They were my comrades yesterday...
Copy !req
277. But why are they...
Copy !req
278. My emperor!
Copy !req
279. He must not be allowed inside!
Copy !req
280. Something inhuman is buzzing around!
Copy !req
281. My emperor!
Copy !req
282. My emperor!
Copy !req
283. My emperor!
Copy !req
284. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
285. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
286. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
287. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
288. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
289. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
290. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
291. Lord Takauji...
Copy !req
292. So that happened in the capital...
Copy !req
293. Unassailable military force
plus a different level of attractiveness.
Copy !req
294. That is Takauji Ashikaga.
Copy !req
295. He won against the son of the emperor
so easily in a power struggle.
Copy !req
296. That is not the Takauji Ashikaga
you used to know.
Copy !req
297. Allow me to ask again, Lord Tokiyuki.
Copy !req
298. Are you prepared to
stand up against the apex?
Copy !req
299. Young Master!
Copy !req
300. Do something about Genba!
Copy !req
301. Not only is he getting drunk
and touching the shrine girls' butts,
Copy !req
302. he's also jumping around the room!
Copy !req
303. He's declared that he's going
to spray pee around, as he jumps,
Copy !req
304. so people are starting
to pull out their swords!
Copy !req
305. We were talking about the apex,
but now talking about the rock bottom...
Copy !req
306. Let's go take care of him, Young Master.
Copy !req
307. Gotta smack the fox-masked
brat's butt for some scolding.
Copy !req
308. Sure.
Copy !req
309. Sir Yorishige,
Copy !req
310. you gave me companions.
Copy !req
311. You showed me how to fight.
You also gave me confidence.
Copy !req
312. They're all still very small,
Copy !req
313. but they're my proud
treasures, given by you.
Copy !req
314. No matter how inferior I may be
to Takauji, I won't give up.
Copy !req
315. I'll just gather more treasures
and go against him over and over!
Copy !req
316. Takauji and Tokiyuki.
Copy !req
317. The invincible lion...
Copy !req
318. and the rabbit, out of his mind.
Copy !req
319. Get him!
Copy !req
320. Yeah, do it!
Copy !req
321. The lion is still unaware...
Copy !req
322. that one day...
Copy !req
323. he will fear the little rabbit.
Copy !req
324. Spin, spin.
Copy !req
325. Coming forth!
Copy !req
