"A TOEI Production" "THE GREAT DUEL" "During the reign of Ietsuna, 4th Tokugawa Shogun, a new land tax was adopted which weighed heavy on farmers lives." "Revolts multiplied everywhere in the country." "We're counting around 1300 condemned persons." "We're april the 6th, 1678." "State secretary Hotta Bichu Masatoshi, suspected of political plot, is summoned by the shogunal court." "He's suspected of preparing for april the 8th, day of the ceremonies celebrating Buddha's birth, a revolt in town and inside the castle to overthrow minister Sakai Yutanokami." "I've just received a list of names from the Great Inspector Hojo." "It's about disloyal samurai preparing a plot in the palace." "I order you to arrest them all." "Kill them without hesitation if they resist." "You'll be punished for negligence if for a reason or another, one of them escapes." "I'm giving you the orders now." "First squadron." "Arrest the traitors living in the south districts." "To Sakurada, Nakano Tosa, leader of the inner guard." "To Akasaka, Tsuchiya Danjo, leader of the protocol." "To Atago, Kogasahara Kichijuro." "To Akabane, Ando Kuranosuke." "To Azabu Ichibeicho, Tsuda Ichijuro." "To Azabu Roppongi, Iida Ichizaemon..." "Script:" "Kanao Ikegami" "Original idea:" "Norimichi Matsudaira" "Photography:" "Shin Furuya" "Film set:" "Jiro Tomita" "Music:" "Seiichi Suzuki" "Starring" "Kotaro Satomi (Jinbo)" "Choichiro Kawarasaki (Hayato)" "Mikijiro Hira (Asari)" "Yoshio Inaba (Tokai)" "Rinichi Yamamoto (Kusaka)" "Nami Munakata (Miss Miya)" "Minoru Oki (Hojo)" "Shiro Osaka (Hoshino)" "Toru Abe (Yamaga, Miya's uncle)" "Ryutaro Otomo (Minister Sakai)" "Directed by Eiichi Kudo" "Shall I wash you?" "Yes, please." "Nothing like a hot bath!" "We finally got used to the quiet life of a couple." "You barely dared to touch me three months ago." "You're rubbing good now." "Jinbo, my friend!" "Sir Nakajima!" " Call Jinbo." " Right now." "Darling!" "Who is it?" "Jinbo!" "What's going on?" "I'll explain later." "Hide me here until dusk." "Please!" "Go watch the entrance." "What are you doing?" "Move away!" "Tell me." "Nakajima Geki, surrender yourself!" "Jinbo, help me!" "They're gonna kill me!" "Insolent, how dare you resist?" "Wait!" "Sheathe your swords." "Probably an accomplice." "Take him." "Darling!" "Kayo!" "Are you ready?" "Attack and vanish." "Who are you?" "Are you looking for a shelter?" "Come to my house to dry yourself." "I don't know what's going on but let's not stay here." "When those idiots are working..." "Come in." "You'll catch a cold." "A real deluge." "Those guys are still playing..." "Come in." "Make yourself comfortable." "Get up!" "Give him a dry kimono." "Let's have a drink for the time being." "Here." "You look like a ghost." "Good, good." "One more." "Here." "Get up!" "How many are missing?" "Some weren't here and some escaped." "Shut up, imbecile!" "Your orders were to arrest them all!" "Keep those excuses to yourself." "Listen carefully." "You must execute my order." "It's your duty." "I'm sorry Inspector." "I'm repeating my order." " Arrest all the traitors." " Understood." "Bring the traitor sergeant Jihei." "Sit down." "He's a leader of the organization but he won't confess." "He probably knows the brain." "We'll see." "You have no escape." "You'd better confess." "And we'll be lenient." "Or else... pain will make you talk!" "So?" "We know that you're in command of several groups." "One of your men talked." "Get him here." "I have some questions while we wait." "You're Koide Jihei, sergeant in the castle." "Age: 48 years old." "Is that right?" "Salary: 300 rice bushels." "Adress: 1, Honjo street." "Son of Kyuzo, who died in 1658, and of Etsu, who died in 1659." "Wife:" "Sato, 39 years old." "Two sons and one daughter:" "Hatsunosuke, Jishi and Shino." "It that right?" "Of course, you don't have to answer." "Unless we got the wrong person." "Koide Jihei..." "Height: 1m53." "Eyes color:" "Light brown." "Mole on the right pectoral muscle." "12 cm scar below the left shoulder." "I already told you." "This district is infested with guard dogs ready to jump." "You'll be killed immediately if you set a foot outside." "You should sleep here if you care about your life." "It's for your own good." "You're not even armed." "Dismissed for bad behavior." "I sold all I had to survive." "Now I make a living with my winnings at the dives." "Yes, I kept it." "I couldn't sell it." "It comes from my ancestors." "It's harakiri if I sell it." "By the way, you didn't tell me your name." "Even a fake one will do." "It's more convenient to talk." "Me, I'm Asari Matanoshin." "Let me introduce myself." "Jinbo Heishiro, official processions officer." "Don't say more." "I suppose you're on the run." "I didn't do anything wrong." "I don't know." "It's a mistake." "Quiet." "I'm not interested." "Let's sleep and wait until tomorrow morning for my servants to bring something to eat." "We all made mistakes in life." "But think about that." "Bribes are more profitable than zeal to succeed in life." "Even though once promoted, you're a prisoner of the fiddles." "It's not exactly restful." "But you're a winner." "Because loyalty..." "It's a pretty word, but who is the one we're serving loyally?" "Minister Sakai, a man thirsting for power and taking advantage of the Shogun's weakness." "There's no way I'd serve someone like that." "I'd come off worst." "Working for society, people welfare... those feelings aren't my thing." "I manage very well on my own to make a living, without bothering anybody." "So, I don't want to be bothered!" "If everybody lived without bothering or being bothered it would be perfect, wouldn't it?" "Nothing stops you from being over-zealous." "But weigh up the pros and cons." "April 7th." "Outer gate of Edo castle." "Minister Sakai's house." "We're announcing him a visit." "Stand up." "What about our affair?" "72 members of the treacherous clan have been arrested." "10 are still missing." "It will be done soon." "I don't care about the menials." "I want to hear about state secretary Hotta." "He still refuses to confess." "We're facing well organized people." "Only the leaders know the brain but they're committing suicide to keep silent." "We're not getting anywhere." "A state secretary serves his minister who is a part of the power." "If we accuse him without evidence, we'll owe an explanation." "Also, that couldn't have come at a worst time." "There are many religious ceremonies in april." "And secretary Hotta is the cult officer." "The ceremonies won't happen if he has to spend his time in court." "Unless he confesses right now." "We can't wait much longer." "Time is of the essence." "Hotta is state secretary, and I'm the great inspector." "Even if I work behind the scenes, our ranks are equal." "I won't relax my attention on a man suspected of treachery." "Do you have a plan?" "The brain of the plot remains hidden among Hotta and the leaders." "He's the one we must fear." "We must find him." "We'll have restless nights as long as he'll be in action." "I agree and I approve of Hotta's questioning." "But hurry." "Everything must be settled by april 11th." "So I have 5 days left." "Your career would be affected if you failed." "Don't forget it." "Don't worry." "The officer that I am is proud to serve a great minister like you." "Sir." "Chancelor Kofu is here to see you." "Sir Kofu?" "Alright, I'm coming." "As agreed, here's the written oath." "Assure us of your participation at the next succession to have the Kofu's son elected as Shogun." "You'll have full powers in return." "Everything is written in this oath." "Sir Kofu, I promise to start as soon as possible the Council that will elect the new Shogun." "I'm counting on you." "You son will make a great 5th Shogun." "I'm already thrilled about it." "I can't wait to see him on the throne." "Sir Jinbo!" "Who are you?" "I don't know you." "I'm Nakajima's ally." "I was looking for you since this morning." "Nakajima?" "I don't want to be involved in your affaires." "Leave me alone." "Sir Jinbo!" " Sir Jinbo!" " Enough!" "Leave me alone." "Sir Jinbo!" "I must find my wife who's been left alone and I'll lodge a complaint." "It's intolerable." "If you want to see how she is..." "What do you mean?" "Come with me." "Look over there." "Sir Jinbo, listen to me!" "Let go of me!" "Listen to me!" "Will you attack to avenge her?" "Will killing a few policemen make you happy?" "Shut up." "Should I abandon her body to the police?" "Let go of me!" "Leave her where she is." "She is dead now." "What?" "It all happened because of you." "If you try to stop me, even though you're a woman..." "I'll kill you." "Kill me if you want." "But it'll be a selfish crime." "What?" " A selfish crime?" " Indeed." "Now you know what the government is capable of." "And do you know why?" "If you think you can put an end to it by killing a few policemen, then you'd better kill yourself." "I won't stop you." "Avenging your wife, so be it." "Sacrificing yourself for that, so be it." "But do it while serving a good cause." "We only live once." "Before losing it, think about what it could be used for." "Think about it, and you'll see that it can be useful." "It's us!" "Good evening, daddy!" "Rice is still too expensive." "Really?" "Stop!" "Your father is working." "Let them." "I like to see them happy." "Miya is here, with someone." "She's here?" "Miss Miya." "What's up?" "Sir Hoshino." "I'll make the introductions." "It's sir Jinbo, a friend of Nakajima." "I know." "Nakajima took refuge at his home..." "I see." "What a misfortune!" "I'm Hoshino Tomonojo." "I was thinking about taking him to Okabe hideout." "But Okabe isn't there anymore." "Okabe?" "It's a shame." "What is he doing?" "I'll go get him." "In the meanwhile, I'd like you to hide Jinbo." "He's welcome." "Where are you going?" "Okabe is a leader of our group." "He became essential after this raid." "I must find him at all cost." "Miss Miya." "Sir Okabe." "Where were you?" "I've been looking for you everywhere." "Well..." "You're not reasonable." "Going out is dangerous." "Did you drink?" "Yes, I did." "I couldn't help it." "I'm alone since yesterday." "I had to run and run again, to finally be alone." "I'm drinking to endure things better." "I can't stand to be alone in this hole." "Miss Miya, please." "Miss Miya." "Don't think... that I'm coward." "Miss Miya!" "Lie down where you want." "Or where you can." "Thank you." "I'll take your place." "You must be bored." "Don't put yourself out for me." "It's a good thing I'm here." "Because my wife can't do anything with her fingers." "Yes, it's his work that's feeding the whole family." "That's enough now!" "Don't scold them too much." "Good night!" "Good night." " Move away!" " Stop!" "Sleep." "Darling!" "I heard what happened." "I, the culprit, escaped the raid." "And you, the innocent, was a victim of it." "Didn't you run away during the raid?" "Why?" "I have to work." "I'm a poor samurai." "I can barely feed my family." "Yet..." "Of course, I could be arrested." "But I have nowhere to go anyway." "Why did you commit yourself?" "A rich samurai like you can't understand." "I have no future." "I could live with it." "But no one cares about my pitiful condition." "It will go on for many generations." "I can't stand it." "But I'm ready to help anyone rising up against that." "That's the reason." "Sir Okabe." "Don't forget that we're allies and that you have promises to keep." "If you ever... have a new moment of weakness," "I'll kill you." "April 8th." "Buddhistic celebrations are cancelled." "State secretary Hotta is summoned to appear in court." "He's undergoing a detailed interrogation." "April 9th, a new large raid is led in the districts of the small samurai." "Inspector Hojo." "It's the right opportunity." "Now is the time or never to overthrow minister Sakai." "This new raid was useless." "Why?" "Marishiten, the god of war, will answer you." "There's no one in heaven, but on earth there's us." "Let's join forces and overthrow Sakai." "Yes, we can do it." "We'll bring back light to the world by doing it." "Shut up." "Listen to me." "Listen to me." "You're a close relative to Sakai." "Don't tell me that you don't know about his cruelty." "Put an end to his reign, and your name will be remembered in history." "Wake up." "The time has come." "There won't be a second opportunity." "Great inspector." "Wait!" "Come back!" "He's of no use to us." "I thought he would join us." "He's just a fanatic." "In fact, he doesn't know anything." "He's the one we should have killed, and not his leader, Jihei." "Jinbei, what do you want?" "Someone is asking for the body of one of the suspects killed during the raid." "No!" "He must know how all traitors will end." "His corpse will be decapitated like all the others." "But it's true that..." "Coming here to ask for a body, what boldness!" "Who is this man?" "He claims to be the brother of the dead suspect Chuichiro." "He says his name is Hayato." "He wasn't in Edo during the raid." "He came back when he heard about his brother's death." " Shall I send him back?" " No, wait." "He might be a traitor like his brother." "That's why he has the guts to come." "Even if he isn't one of them, he might be recruited by the remaining leaders." "Give him the body." "Follow him and investigate everywhere he goes." "As to Kusaka, release him and have him followed too." "Thank you." "You can go." "You, pay these people." "Okabe, you're safe!" "That's great!" "I was in Koshu when it happened." "I hesitated to come back." "But I did it to retrieve my brother's body." "I had nothing to lose." "And they didn't arrest me!" "Your boldness fooled them." "You're really talented." "Maybe you could do a favor." "I'll do anything you want." "Thank you." "Well..." "Can you introduce me to the inspector that you met?" "Introduce you?" "They might arrest me if I go there on my own." "Talk to him about me so he considers me innocent." "Of course, after that I'll tell him everything I know." "If you introduce me to him, he'll be happy." "We might even be rewarded." "It's worth it, isn't it?" "Are you serious?" "Of course I am." "We should think about our salvation since we failed." "Shut up!" "You're a coward." "A samurai doesn't betray for that." "Telling that to me, who just lost my brother." "Have a look at this coffin." "Look!" "Do you know how he died?" "He didn't talk under torture." "And now you dare ask me to be a traitor in front of my brother's body?" "Get out of my sight before I kill you." "Get lost!" "Don't get it wrong, Miss Miya." "Let me explain." "Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Let me explain." "Please." "Listen to me." "Miss Miya, help!" "Let's get done with it." "Run." "There are guards outside." "Tell me." "Why did you kill?" "The reason doesn't matter." "Get out of here." "I'm helping unarmed fugitives." "But not a murderer." "I never will." "It's the first time that I killed." "I wanted to talk to you about how I feel." "But it would have been weak of me." "Not towards you." "But towards the world we're living in." ""Never disturb and never be disturbed..."" "This is your philosophy." "Yet..." "Doing nothing is the worst disturbance." "Did you think about it?" "A stupid policy leads people to misery." "They lose their job, their house and their family," "their wife and their children." "And the world lives with it." "It's a peculiarity of a tyranny." "And who is supporting this tyranny?" "Samurai like me attached to their work, and people like you:" "Men of leisure." "If this is the way of the samurai, then, as a samurai," "I know what's left for me to do." "You don't deserve this sword." "I'll use it." "Did they escape?" "Two suspects?" "It looks like I have two enemies." "The traitors and your incompetence." "Enough." "Out of my sight!" "Jinbei, what else do you want?" "I may have a good information." "Hayato has been seen running away with a woman." "A woman?" "The neighbor said that he saw Hayato escape with a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat." "She's around 20, bright skin and keen eyes." "A woman..." "A woman among them..." "Well, find this woman with a wide-brimmed hat immediately." "Look among the daughters of the officers, and their wives too." "Arrest them and question them." "Miss Miya." "It's me." "Don't you recognize me?" "It's me, Kusaka." " Koide's second in command?" " Yes." "I was under the orders of Koide Jihei." "I'm Kusaka." "The police scum is lurking around here." "Why are you dressed as a monk?" "That?" "It's to ask for divine help." "To overthrow this demon Sakai." "It's easier as a monk." "So you didn't gave up fighting." "Of course not." "We must clear the sky of this bad cloud." "The spirits talked to me." "They said I'll be the one who'll kill Sakai." "Yes." "I'm the one who will kill this devil Sakai." "Me and nobody else." "Marishiten is watching over me." "Marishiten!" "I'll get Sakai's head." "The court let you go?" "That's because I sold out Koide Jihei who was playing the little chief." "He died with a pitiful face." "What a moron!" "It was good of this incompetent moron to die." "It even suits me." "I'm the on who'll kill Sakai." "It's better this way." "What about the others?" "Don't you like it?" "We still have allies." "We must join forces." "Fine." "I'll help them." "I have the strength of a thousand men." "I'll call." "Look." "The police scum is everything." "You want to shout?" "Go ahead!" "I have a divine mission to complete." "So I can do whatever I like." "What are you afraid of?" "April 11th, the evening." "Suspected of treason, state secretary Hotta, who had been questioned in court, was released for lack of evidence." "The same evening, he had been restored to his former position." "I warned you that if you didn't find anything your career would suffer." "Great Inspector." "Okabe woke up." "What, can he talk?" "But he won't live much longer." "Come quickly." "Did he say something?" "He talked." "The brain?" "It's Yamaga Soko." "Yamaga Soko?" " I'm sending my men." " No." "I can arrest the great strategy master that Yamaga is." "But he has lords close to the Shogun among his disciples, even some of direct lineage." "We'll have to face the complaints of his disciples if we arrest him." "We need some evidence more than ever." "First we have to see into his mind." "How?" "You're useless!" "I'll check by myself." "I used to be his disciple." "Even though I was older than him." "But our opinions about the world were different." "He expelled me from his school for this reason." "I know his thoughts as well as he knows mine." "I'll read in his mind if I talk to him." "Prepare my escort!" "Yamaga Soko's School" "The tea ceremony is ready." "Master Hojo." "This is my niece." "I raised her." "Her name is Miya." "Remember her name." "I'm Miya." "Nice to meet you." "I heard a lot about you." "About your intelligence, a rare quality for a girl nowdays." "And you're very beautiful." "A wide-brimmed hat would suit you well with such a beautiful face." "Now that's funny!" "Let's go to the tea house, if you will?" "It's good to see you after so many years." "We haven't changed." "But I can feel our old quarrels fading." "As for me, I would have never imagined that you'd come to see me." "Here's the purpose of my visit." "I wanted to know your opinion on the government current policy." "It's a good idea." ""Reason expresses itself through man's words."" "It's always been like that." ""Good cures are bitter."" "Let's start with the problems." "Let's see." "Sakai will take advantage of the fact that the current Shogun doesn't have a heir to intrigue with chancelor Kofu and to put his son, Tsunayoshi, on the throne in return of full powers." "As some did in the past, he could remain in power all his life." "What do you think about it?" "Your words surprise me." "As long as the current Shogun remains in good shape, there can't be any scheme at the palace or any secret agreement between minister Sakai and Kofu." "As you say, there can't be any." "Yet, "Reason expresses itself through man's words."" "We easily trust rumours." "And they push people to act in a certain way." "I'll tell you my opinion:" ""Reason expresses itself through man's acts."" "I advise you to be very cautious." "You're the one telling me that?" "You old devil." "Your straightforwardness doesn't fear or flater the power." "This quality is worth all the gold in the world." "I'd like to benefit more often of your insight." "Enough talking." "Let's go to the house." "Forgive me, but I have a lot of things to do." "I can't come to the ceremony." "Excuse me." "So, Inspector?" "The old fox!" "He's true to his reputation." "Jinbei, there's no doubt about it." "The girl with the wide-brimmed hat is Miya, Yamaga's niece." "Come back here with a squad." "And arrest everybody." "No omission this time." "Uncle." "Secrets don't last long." "They already know you." "Tokai." "I'll reopen as soon as possible my class on military art." "Send some emissaries to warn my august disciples." "Time is of the essence." "Don't dawdle on the way." "You see?" "Inspector Hojo was quick to act." "We'll have to forget our house." "Miya, warn all the men." "We have to hurry." "The time has come." "I'm waiting for your orders." "Let's continue." "It's obvious that Sakai secretly negociated with Kofu." "Listen." "The dark years will last for centuries." "We must put an end to this power." "Let's kill Sakai and it will collapse." "Sakai fears a murder attempt." "He reinforced his personal bodyguards." "And his henchman Hojo mobilized his squadrons." "The odds are uneven." "We're not gonna give up?" "No, we'll kill Kofu." "Chancelor Kofu?" "Why him and not Sakai?" "Because Sakai will get his legitimacy from Kofu's son once he'll be the Shogun." "If Kofu dies, the direct heirs of the Tokugawa will take over." "And Sakai is far from having their favours." "With chancelor Kofu's death, Sakai will lose his power." "I agree." "When will we kill him?" " Tomorrow." " Tomorrow?" "Sakai has invited Nikko's clergy high dignitary." "They'll meet tomorrow at the Kaneiji temple." "Hojo will be on the alert, fearing something from us." "He'll probably forget about Kofu's safety." "And it's tomorrow that Kofu must see back lord Mito to Edo's gates." "Mito is going back to his fief." "Kofu will take him to Senju." "Sakai and Hojo will be there." "Kaneiji temple is here." "On the map, it's here." "Kofu will go there, to Senju." "Hotta is the cult officer." "So he has the right to prohibit any traffic on the road in order to protect the clergy dignitary." "I'll ask him to block the Senju road for six hours." "Kofu will refuse to wait such a long time." "He'll take this diversion." "It's the only possibility." "Kofu will pass in front of Shin-Yoshiwara, the prostitution district." "We'll have to lure him there." "We'll make an ambush inside the district." "I'll tell you your parts later." "It will be in Shin-Yoshiwara." "Tomorrow is their big spring-cleaning day there." "Big spring-cleaning?" "It's a good omen for us who will clean the political scene." "I have a question." "How many will we be?" "How many?" "Only us, right here." "It will be child's play." "Nowdays, samurai don't know how to fight anymore." "Listen." "Sakai is the root of evil." "It's the only way to get rid of him." "Our death will serve the future of the country." "Now let's talk about strategy." "You'll be the leader of the operations." "You're old enough." "I'll go to your place to settle everything." "See you tomorrow morning." "My regards to your wife." "Thank her for everything." "The time has come." "So, what do you think?" "It's our mission." "Marishiten will protect us." "There's no doubt about it." "I'll pray some more." "What's up?" "It's a bit weird." "I was leading a peaceful life seven days ago." "It seems so far away." "I'm the one who urged you to join us." "Don't you regret it?" "No, why?" "My life has been short." "But I have enjoyed it fully." "My life has never been so dense than during those seven days." "Sir Jinbo." "Maybe you'll find it uncalled for, but... would you listen to me?" "It's very personal." "I suffered within my heart and my flesh for this plan." "I had to eliminate some allies and face some treasons." "I also had to sacrifice my body by fear of seeing the plan fail." "What fool I was!" "But I never regreted it once." "I thought it was fine." "I had decided in my heart that it was the fate I had chosen." "Why do I hold this plan so dear in my heart?" "I ignore it myself." "A woman who wants to change the world!" "That's because you're a woman." "Man always needs a reason to die." "But a woman doesn't trouble herself with these issues." "I never talked about it to anyone before." "I kept it hidden in my heart." "I wanted to talk to someone for this last night we're having." "I wanted to talk to you alone." "I wanted you to know my true feelings." "That's why..." "Thanks to your words," "I, who is about to die tomorrow... think that's the right thing to do." "It's good, isn't it?" "He fell." "Stop bickering." "We'll open that too." "Daddy!" "April 13th, 1878." "Minister Sakai Yutanokami is officially going to Kaneiji temple." "He will meet a Nikko's clergy high dignitary." "He leaves his house around seven in the morning." "At the same time, chancelor Kofu is leaving his house with lord Mito and will go with him up to Senju." "We have to go." "Miss Miya." "Kusaka, what's up?" "It's the last time." "Please." "Miss Miya." "I'm not the Miya of yesterday anymore." "Shame on you!" "What did you say?" "You insulted me!" "Miss Miya!" "Around one in the afternoon, chancelor Kofu leaves lord Mito at Senju." "Hey, farmer!" "I'll buy all your horses." "Come on, give me your horses!" "You'll get a good price for them!" "Hayato, killed in action" "Listen carefully." "Don't move, even after the attack has started." "Close the gate and wait if our target tries to escape." "Don't do anything until then." "You're hanging around in this district?" "You look funny!" "Are you still mad at me?" "Come and see me if you want." "I'm at the Great Lantern." "We'll have a drink together." "What's going on?" "My shoe lace is untied." "I can't do it." "My hands are shaking." "Senju" "Kaneiji Temple" "Great Inspector!" "There's something unexpected." "Because of Nikko's high dignitary visit," "Sir Hotta Bichu has blocked the traffic." "He blocked the traffic?" "Jinbei, and what did sir Kofu decide?" "Luckily, there's a diversion from Senju to go to Edo castle." "Show me the map." "It's this diversion." "The dyke road." "This damn Yamaga got us!" "He wants to kill chancelor Kofu." "Kofu!" "What will you do?" "The traitors pretended to threaten you in order to kill Kofu." "They're waiting for him at Shin-Yoshiwara." "Moron!" "If anything happens to Kofu my project will fail." "Do something." "I trusted your skills." "I made a mistake." "Is there anybody?" "Prepare my horse!" "Anybody here?" "My horse!" "Ready?" "Release the horses!" "But what is that?" "Protect the chancelor!" "Tokai, what are you doing?" "The gate!" "Attack!" "Where are the men?" "Take care of the chancelor." "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "Where is sir Kofu?" "Answer me!" "Where is sir Kofu?" "He's safe." "Sirs Sakai and Hojo just arrived." "I'm speechless in front of such a disaster." "But you're safe." "My mind is at ease now!" "A disaster?" "I wasn't expecting such an eventful trip." "We didn't think that the traitors would act here." "We made a mistake." "Watch your tongue." "Fortunately, you're safe." "We must leave this stained place." "It's unworthy of the father of our future shogun." "We must go now." "What?" "Now?" "The traitors have been defeated, the road is safe now."
