1. Just like an aromatic history
Copy !req
2. Just like a dramatic textbook
Copy !req
3. This is no good,
I just can't dance these days
Copy !req
4. Will you do it or will you be done in?
Only destiny can tell
Copy !req
5. I'll oppose it, I'll sing of it,
and I'll run
Copy !req
6. I don't care about the damage done
Copy !req
7. I'm just having fun
Copy !req
8. Fulfillment, ideals, reality
Copy !req
9. I'll go and take them by the hand
Quickly and vigorously
Copy !req
10. Say Plan A, you got no doubts,
it's sunny all about
Copy !req
11. You had my back, so here's our runway
Copy !req
12. Say Plan A, you got no doubts,
you're alive
Copy !req
13. They'll laugh, it'll be sad,
but you'll be all good
Copy !req
14. Plan A
Copy !req
15. Plan A
Copy !req
16. Running away is victory
Copy !req
17. Plan A
Copy !req
18. Plan A
Copy !req
19. Run away to victory
Copy !req
20. The essence of a real sword...
Copy !req
21. isn't about pushing forward
to slash your opponent.
Copy !req
22. The point is, it's like a knife or a saw.
Copy !req
23. When you pull and cut,
Copy !req
24. that's the moment
best to deal the most damage.
Copy !req
25. So you retreat as you slash.
Copy !req
26. Don't you think it fits you best
with your astounding escaping abilities?
Copy !req
27. But this won't be enough
to end the enemy's life.
Copy !req
28. We must get through the skin
and flesh.
Copy !req
29. That's fine.
Copy !req
30. That's indeed the essence of
an elusive sword.
Copy !req
31. Your left hand held up is the sight.
Copy !req
32. Wait for the moment when the enemy's
blade passes between your hand and the sword.
Copy !req
33. Here it comes!
Copy !req
34. Rotate your upper body to the left...
Copy !req
35. While lowering your
sword under its weight...
Copy !req
36. I pull to the left...
Copy !req
37. and run!
Copy !req
38. You hit my inner arm.
Copy !req
39. This part is hard to be
targeted by the enemy,
Copy !req
40. and I equip no armor here
because it interferes with movement.
Copy !req
41. You seem to know the weak points of
an armored warrior very well.
Copy !req
42. But it's not a major weakness.
Copy !req
43. With a bleeding wrist, it takes a while
before I lose consciousness.
Copy !req
44. Don't tell me you're
planning to stay alive...
Copy !req
45. until then?
Copy !req
46. In this small room...
Copy !req
47. I'll hunt you down...
Copy !req
48. slowly and cut you into little pieces,
Copy !req
49. then slowly stop my bleeding!
Copy !req
50. What's up with his look?
Copy !req
51. This long sword user...
Copy !req
52. Won't let us face him head-on!
Copy !req
53. So light, so small!
Copy !req
54. So inexperienced!
Copy !req
55. You will all die here.
Copy !req
56. Too bad for you, eh?
Copy !req
57. Ten years later, you would
have been fully-fledged swordsmen.
Copy !req
58. Then you would have known many pleasures.
Copy !req
59. The adult pleasure in kicking
the weak with our force and bodies...
Copy !req
60. The pleasure in robbing away...
Copy !req
61. The pleasure in ravaging...
Copy !req
62. I was a kid, and the guy
who took me under his wing
Copy !req
63. and taught me how to do it
is now the chief.
Copy !req
64. I bet your holier-than-thou
chief Yorishige Suwa...
Copy !req
65. wouldn't be able to do this.
Copy !req
66. It's not Master Yorishige, you know.
Copy !req
67. Huh?
Copy !req
68. Our current lord, that is.
Copy !req
69. Is that so?
Either way, it's the same thing.
Copy !req
70. He's a powerless lord.
Copy !req
71. So he didn't teach you kids
to enjoy the pleasures of life,
Copy !req
72. and let you die in vain for
the sake of this tinny village.
Copy !req
73. You're out of words.
Did I get it right?
Copy !req
74. Yeah.
Copy !req
75. Sure, our lord is one
elusive, naive softie.
Copy !req
76. However...
Copy !req
77. He who ordered us to protect the weak...
Copy !req
78. is a greater warrior than you who have
grown fat at the expense of the weak.
Copy !req
79. You're still here?
Copy !req
80. You piece of scum facing me
with some toys!
Copy !req
81. Too naive, kid!
Copy !req
82. Don't think a kid could break through...
Copy !req
83. an adult's long sword!
Copy !req
84. Quit yapping already...
Copy !req
85. I've had enough of being called a kid!
Copy !req
86. We can't afford to be ten years too early.
Copy !req
87. Only a year and a half left until
the time Master Yorishige predicted.
Copy !req
88. If we can't even take down an adult
at the age of ten,
Copy !req
89. we won't make it
for the young master's grand battle!
Copy !req
90. No way... These nameless kids
can't possibly take me down...
Copy !req
91. Go to hell and face the demons.
Copy !req
92. Our lord is Tokiyuki Hojo!
Copy !req
93. What?
Copy !req
94. He rules over Kamakura...
Copy !req
95. as the rightful heir to the throne!
Copy !req
96. No way...
Copy !req
97. This can't be...
Copy !req
98. I can't hit him!
Copy !req
99. This is bad...
Copy !req
100. I need to stop the bleeding...
Copy !req
101. Not just my sword,
but he also avoided my blood splatter!
Copy !req
102. Is he a monster?
Copy !req
103. His sword is changing!
Copy !req
104. It's rare for a swordsman to manipulate
the edge of a blade in such a complex way.
Copy !req
105. There must be a master
who taught you the art.
Copy !req
106. Who is your master?
Copy !req
107. I don't think I need to tell you.
Copy !req
108. A wise man keeps everything hidden.
Copy !req
109. If I demonstrate my ability
in the organization...
Copy !req
110. I'll be used up like all the other small fry
and executives, depending on my abilities.
Copy !req
111. So I play a clown,
and stand by the chief,
Copy !req
112. and I take only the sweetest of juices.
Copy !req
113. I only use my sharpened nails
for a moment.
Copy !req
114. When I kill anyone who notices my claws...
Copy !req
115. or when I kill the chief
and take his position.
Copy !req
116. Secrecy is the art of survival
in turbulent times!
Copy !req
117. Now!
Copy !req
118. Shut up and die!
Copy !req
119. Secrecy, huh...
Copy !req
120. Go to hell!
Copy !req
121. The ordinary sword that comes straight,
Copy !req
122. and the peculiar
sword that bends with the wrist.
Copy !req
123. He keeps both stances hidden until the
last minute, and I can't tell the difference.
Copy !req
124. But in his case, his elbow is a slightly
different height at the point of swinging.
Copy !req
125. In other words...
Copy !req
126. He can't completely hide it.
Copy !req
127. Wbat?
Copy !req
128. If perfectly concealed,
it's a fearsome swordsmanship.
Copy !req
129. But the user doesn't understand
the point of the art.
Copy !req
130. You weren't hiding anything greater
than I thought you would be.
Copy !req
131. What a disappointment.
Copy !req
132. He wields two swords
and can even do martial arts...
Copy !req
133. What kind of trick he has up his sleeve?
Copy !req
134. The strategic value of this village.
Copy !req
135. The strategic value
of the village children.
Copy !req
136. When I found those hidden gems...
Copy !req
137. My cold body gets a little warmer.
Copy !req
138. For some reason, I'm drawn to him...
Copy !req
139. because he's hiding
something unusually big.
Copy !req
140. Oh, I think I'm done with you.
Copy !req
141. All right.
Copy !req
142. I guess you're almost done now.
Copy !req
143. Sir Chojumaru.
Copy !req
144. This is hopeless...
Copy !req
145. I'm dying.
Copy !req
146. I'm bleeding out
before I can kill this kid.
Copy !req
147. Crap, I'm fading away...
Copy !req
148. So this is the end of the line...
Copy !req
149. Father!
Copy !req
150. What do you mean there
is no territory for me to inherit?
Copy !req
151. Sorry about this.
Copy !req
152. As a result of the distribution of land
to all the siblings of all generations...
Copy !req
153. We are only left with this small land.
Copy !req
154. From now on, as in the rest of the world,
Copy !req
155. the eldest son will inherit all the lands.
Copy !req
156. You will stay here with
your brother and assist him.
Copy !req
157. So you want me to be his servant?
Copy !req
158. I have trained in the martial and
military arts to protect my own territory!
Copy !req
159. A warrior without
a territory is no warrior...
Copy !req
160. If I wanted a place to be...
Copy !req
161. I had to steal it.
Copy !req
162. From there on, it was darkness.
Copy !req
163. Somewhere along the way,
stealing became a pleasure.
Copy !req
164. I sold children and dragged them
into the same futureless darkness
Copy !req
165. that I was in to make myself feel better.
Copy !req
166. There is no place of rest for the pursued.
Copy !req
167. I was invited to fight in a great war
and tried to make a comeback,
Copy !req
168. but I lost the battle and
failed to make a name for myself.
Copy !req
169. I see you are always in the dark.
Copy !req
170. Go somewhere far, far away,
where no one will come after you.
Copy !req
171. Somewhere, there must be
a place where there is light.
Copy !req
172. Stop lying, Lord Kusunoki.
Copy !req
173. There is no light anywhere, is there?
Copy !req
174. What?
Copy !req
175. What is shining before me?
Copy !req
176. There's no way I can win.
Copy !req
177. Against someone who can smile
so innocently in this hell...
Copy !req
178. He's not human...
Copy !req
179. So you're also smiling at me...
Copy !req
180. O Buddha...
Copy !req
181. Though it begins with the blade of mercy,
Copy !req
182. by the time it concludes,
Copy !req
183. it is hell on earth.
Copy !req
184. Who shall put to death the
demons of a turbulent world?
Copy !req
185. Is it the demon, or the Buddha?
Copy !req
186. Demon-heart Buddha Blade.
Copy !req
187. You really are amazing, Young Master!
Copy !req
188. He's a major enemy that even
we both couldn't stand up to.
Copy !req
189. It's thanks to the technique that
Sir Fubuki gave me.
Copy !req
190. You're right.
Copy !req
191. I never thought you'd defeat him just by
cutting his wrist and running away.
Copy !req
192. Talk about being a superb coward!
Copy !req
193. Don't put it like that!
Copy !req
194. If we go around announcing the general's
death, the rest of the enemy will run.
Copy !req
195. Just one more...
Copy !req
196. For real? Sadamune's here!
Copy !req
197. You again, brat?
Copy !req
198. We should be saying that!
Copy !req
199. You're the one
invading someone's territory!
Copy !req
200. Shut up! This is a turbulent time!
Copy !req
201. I want to give your eyeballs to the snake
and see if it swallows them whole.
Copy !req
202. What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
203. You never learn, do you, eyeball old man?
Copy !req
204. Don't call me like
I'm some kind of monster!
Copy !req
205. But you are a monster
with those eyeballs!
Copy !req
206. Say what?
Copy !req
207. Enemy reinforcements from
the front entrance at this moment...
Copy !req
208. That's Sadamune Ogasawara for you.
Copy !req
209. He has a knack for warfare.
Copy !req
210. The rest of our allies have their
hands full dealing with the enemy army.
Copy !req
211. In this situation, there's no way to win.
Copy !req
212. There are no enemies south of the village.
Copy !req
213. We should get our allies
together and escape from there...
Copy !req
214. What?
Copy !req
215. There are enemies from the south too?
Copy !req
216. No.
Copy !req
217. See ya!
Copy !req
218. That light!
Copy !req
219. Reinforcements from the Suwa Grand Shrine!
Copy !req
220. They barely made it in time!
Copy !req
221. This is bad!
Copy !req
222. Retreat! Gather only Shokan's
soldiers fighting nearby!
Copy !req
223. But, Lord Sadamune...
Copy !req
224. We are not prepared to fight
a full-scale battle with Suwa's main army!
Copy !req
225. The battle was fought in the open, but why
is there blood on the inside of the door?
Copy !req
226. Master Yorishige!
Copy !req
227. The enemy army, seeming
to belong to Sadamune, is retreating!
Copy !req
228. Drive them to the border.
Copy !req
229. Tokitsugu, sweep up the bandits
Copy !req
230. around the village.
Copy !req
231. Yes.
Copy !req
232. They're bailing.
Copy !req
233. - Heya.
- Genba!
Copy !req
234. You'd better thank me.
Copy !req
235. I ran my horse as fast as I could
so I could get there in time.
Copy !req
236. Well...
Copy !req
237. On the way...
Copy !req
238. When I saw a sexy woman
and almost bled to death,
Copy !req
239. I had quite a fright, though.
Copy !req
240. Don't you die on me!
Copy !req
241. Sir Yorishige...
Copy !req
242. I'm glad you're safe...
Copy !req
243. Yes...
Copy !req
244. It kind of... hurts, Sir Yorishige.
Copy !req
245. Lord Sadamune, Shokan...
Copy !req
246. He's a strong guy with rotten luck.
Copy !req
247. Had we been a bit late in stopping the
bleeding, he wouldn't make it.
Copy !req
248. Why did you send reinforcements...
Copy !req
249. Reports have come in that you
were wasting your time in manslaughter.
Copy !req
250. Suwa won't be so lenient as
to miss that opportunity.
Copy !req
251. Who told you to kill the people?
Copy !req
252. Obtaining uninhabited territory
doesn't increase our tax revenues.
Copy !req
253. Fool.
Copy !req
254. Please, punish me...
Copy !req
255. However...
Copy !req
256. Your strategic eye in
this operation was outstanding.
Copy !req
257. I will give you a small territory
where you can sharpen your fangs.
Copy !req
258. For the decisive battle with Suwa
that will eventually come.
Copy !req
259. I hereby ban you from acting as a bandit.
Copy !req
260. Serve me only as a warrior.
Copy !req
261. Understood.
Copy !req
262. His bandit nature is
disappearing from his eyes.
Copy !req
263. Did they drain his toxic side
along with his blood?
Copy !req
264. Shortly after,
Copy !req
265. the villains gradually disappeared under the
control of increasingly powerful governors.
Copy !req
266. This is the stage where unrestrained
bandit samurai blossomed for the last time.
Copy !req
267. And it is happening in this era.
Copy !req
268. Sir Yorishige.
Copy !req
269. This village and I survived,
all thanks to Sir Fubuki.
Copy !req
270. I think the Suwa Grand Shrine
should reward him...
Copy !req
271. Is that so?
Copy !req
272. Of course, we'll reward him nicely!
Copy !req
273. Also, I want to welcome him
as my retainer.
Copy !req
274. That's nice!
Copy !req
275. Hang on, Sir Chojumaru!
Copy !req
276. I'd love to be your friend,
but not your retainer.
Copy !req
277. I want to serve a lord
who can aim for the throne.
Copy !req
278. It's a different story if it's
your lord Suwa I'm serving...
Copy !req
279. Right here...
Copy !req
280. The lord.
Copy !req
281. Right here.
Copy !req
282. I am Tokiyuki Hojo, the son of Takatoki
Hojo, regent of the Kamakura Shogunate.
Copy !req
283. I am aiming for the throne,
just so you know.
Copy !req
284. Whaat?
Copy !req
285. Sorry for keeping it a secret from you.
Copy !req
286. I had decided to reveal my identity
only after consulting with Sir Yorishige.
Copy !req
287. I knew he was hiding something big...
Copy !req
288. But not this big!
Copy !req
289. If he's just a commoner,
then he's just an elusive kind boy.
Copy !req
290. But if he's the son of Hojo...
Copy !req
291. Every one of his abilities
can be turned into a fearsome weapon!
Copy !req
292. Now this is fire!
Copy !req
293. I don't come cheap, you know?
But, if you're okay with it, my Lord...
Copy !req
294. I'll bring out all the charm
this prince has hidden,
Copy !req
295. and go reach the throne.
Copy !req
296. For your information, we eat rice
here in Suwa instead of millet.
Copy !req
297. For real? I'm in heaven!
Copy !req
298. I don't know if this guy's
actually talented or not...
Copy !req
299. Let's go and do the Kamakura DANCE
Until the sun comes up in the morning
Copy !req
300. Times will change again and again
But they're all loveable and great
Copy !req
301. Step, tap, dance to the rhythm
Copy !req
302. Kamakura style!
Copy !req
303. Jomon, Yayoi, Kofun, Asuka, Nara, Heian
Copy !req
304. This is KA-MA-KU-RA
Copy !req
305. From Nanbokucho to Reiwa
Copy !req
306. Kamakura style!
Copy !req
307. Let's make an iihako (1185)
Copy !req
308. Let's make an iikuni (1192)
Copy !req
309. You know all the theories? What a genius!
Copy !req
310. Kamakura was full of emotions
Copy !req
311. Keep on going, like a wild horse,
until you reach Nanbokucho
Copy !req
312. Doing our best, Kamakura, represent
Copy !req
313. Playing some dog-shooting competition
in the field
Copy !req
314. Robes, garments, we'll wear them on a date
Copy !req
315. Kamakura style!
Copy !req
316. Japanese poems, essays, I enjoy them all
Copy !req
317. In praise of shrines and Buddhist temples
Copy !req
318. It doesn't matter
what period of history we're in
Copy !req
319. We just can't stop having fun!
Copy !req
320. Well now!
Copy !req
321. Let's go and do the Kamakura DANCE
Until the sun comes up in the morning
Copy !req
322. Times will change again and again
But they're all loveable and great
Copy !req
323. Go the way,
while you're bored and listless
Copy !req
324. Play those Japanese instruments
and fly away
Copy !req
325. Link this culture to the far future
Copy !req
326. Go do the Kamakura DANCE
Let's raise some hell!
Copy !req
327. When you hear that humming
Copy !req
328. Step, tap, dance to the rhythm
Copy !req
329. Step up, and grow up
Copy !req
330. Kamakura style!
Copy !req
331. Kamakura style!
Copy !req
