The Samurai and the Prisoner (2026) Movie Script

Your siege plan is ingenious.
He will inspire the western provinces, and Oda
will remain with the nose.
Now all that remains is to wait. How
you order.
Sir, a messenger has arrived from Oda.
Who is this?
Yes, the freak's name is Kanbei.
Kanbei?
There is no need for these formalities, Kanbai.
Why are you here?
This means that you are really preparing for war.
When I found out that you moved in and
fortified themselves in their castle of Orioca, I and
I had a hard time believing the rumors, but now I see.
Are you really going to betray
Odu. And what?
Have you come to dissuade me?
Disobedience to Oda means immediate
death for his allies, who
advance towards Harima.
In my opinion, this is the most opportune moment,
to finally make his move.
So are you on our side?
Let's unite. What do you say?
You would be a valuable ally.
I will abstain. You still can't win.
You are counting on the Mori clan, but, alas,
he is not your ally.
Why do you think so?
The war with Oda will lead the country to
inevitable split.
But the Mori clan has no benefit from this
benefits. I could force him into
this war.
The Terumoto Sea cannot be trusted.
He is a master of intrigue and conspiracy.
Any alliance with this person looks
tasty only on paper. You're already too much
you know this well.
The same can be said about nabunag.
If so, I'll take a chance and take a look.
Who will win in the end, Mori or Oda?
Even if it destroys the whole country?
Oda is already destroying it right now.
And maybe the risk is worth it.
Clear.
No matter what, you are on his side.
So be it.
To his dungeon!
Eat!
The messenger is usually inviolable. If
I'll let you go, the western provinces can
move from the sea to the ode.
Then kill me! That's how my
heavenly way!
Mister Murashigi, please! What are you for
Do you doubt it? I'm keeping you alive
idiot! Are you stubborn? Not in
dungeon! Just kill me!
Kill me!
Mr. Murazi, please listen.
I have a little son.
His name is Shujamaru, he is only 11.
He is now under Oda's care and is waiting
hope for the speedy return of his father. And
so what?
I ask you only one thing.
Send Odin Bunaga my head! To
what? Prove your loyalty to him?
Exactly!
If the messenger has not returned, it means
most likely he defected to the enemy.
Depends on it. The life of my Shojumaru!
After a while I will free you. Until then you
you will live for my benefit.
Are you really going to break traditions?
samurai?
If I lived only by traditions, I would
didn't stand in front of you.
You deceived me, Mr. Murashiga!
But you yourself came to me.
Kambei!
Curse that unfortunate day when you
planned to come to my castle.
Give us food and water.
No visitors.
Eat!
One day you will pay dearly for what
done!
Samurai and prisoner
Those rumors are true.
It can't be.
Nakagawa betrayed us.
Why did he do this now?
He owes it to our master.
Nakagawa's betrayal was
predictable.
He is too afraid of Oda. Not at all
Soon Oda will take Ryoko's castle into a ring.
So what will happen then?
Why are you cackling?
This castle is impregnable. Ode is not his
take. Right.
The Mori clan will soon join us,
then they will dance with us. you
Do you agree, sir?
Yes, that's right.
Sir, bad news.
What again?
Uvada is lost. The castle has been handed over. Abe passed
castle? Alas.
Mr Abe's links to the Buddhist sect
Ikko led to numerous
betrayal by water. And that's it
Well... He surrendered Uvada Castle without a fight.
Sir, Abe Jinen's son is with us
held hostage.
According to tradition, he should be
immediately crucified.
Crucified? Yes. No.
Throw him into prison.
Do you want to spare him?
Yes.
But tell me, why, sir?
Did you hear that Mr. Abe has changed allies?
How do you know?
I can't even imagine how
Jenn is depressed now.
I knew this would happen.
The son of a samurai is always ready to die.
Ready to die? How stupid.
In what sense does this mean?
Is the child ready to die? This is absurd.
Jinen is a follower of the Shinshu sect, like
I.
Therefore he is always ready to ascend to
heaven.
The boy is too young to know
the world, let alone heaven.
Even so.
But he longs for it.
Yes, of course I understand.
Skip it! Stand!
Let me through!
This is Abjinen.
Mister Morosiga, I came to you with
request. Listen to me.
Mr. Morosiga, Ms. Tioja, I am from
I want it with all my heart
apologize for betraying your father.
Please don't execute me.
Give me a sword so I can die from
your hand and ascend to heaven.
Mister... Please, Jenen already
I've suffered enough in this world.
If you... Be silent!
You're going to prison.
But how?
What does all this mean, sir?
Do you really want to spare him? Don't be confused
my decision is with mercy. Then what
this, if not it?
If you don't want to fulfill mine
request...
Now your life is in my hands.
You have no right to take her!
Why are you disgracing me so much?
Servant! Yes!
Lock him in any empty room.
Don't you dare let it out. Eat!
Sorry for the trouble.
So many years have passed, but I dont understand everything,
what's in your heart.
Yozaimon. Yes.
Is Jane really refusing to eat?
They told me he was wasting away. As a sign
protest my decision. Funny.
So, make him eat.
Sir, please, come to your senses.
If we don't punish Aba as soon as possible
for cowardice, our clan will look
weak. It's too early to kill Jenen.
But lord, listen, maybe we
could have avoided betrayal
Nakagawa, if they took a hostage, but we
they didn't do that, sir.
Nakagawa would have betrayed us one way or another.
That's the kind of person he is.
Sorry, sir.
Young Jenen has just passed away. What?
It's my fault.
I didn't follow.
Arrow wound.
But I don't see the arrow itself.
She's gone.
Duimon, were the doors open before this?
As far as I know, he came here before me
only Mr. Akioka.
The doors were slightly open.
That's how it is.
You can get there from a short distance.
Yes.
Who was on duty on that tower?
I don't know, but I'll ask people.
Who was guarding Jenen?
Just me, Itamii Chiroza, Mori Kahei
and Mr. Akioka. Just four.
Find out who was in that tower.
Compare the readings of the others.
Have you already heard?
Young Jenen was struck by the invisible
arrow.
This must be divine punishment
for Abe. Come on.
I'm sure our master is behind this.
He promised not to kill the boy, but
to defend our honor, I was still able
come up with a way.
It was not our master who did this.
A?
So this is a punishment from the gods?
I doubt there is magic involved here or
gods. What nonsense?
If this were divine punishment, it would
struck Father Jenen.
This means that it is not you and not the gods.
Then who?
One thing is clear.
The boy was killed.
Is this some kind of Christian curse? Not
talk nonsense!
Jenen died from an arrow. This is not the case
doubts.
But, sir, who did it and how?
In time we will know the truth.
Sir, we found out who was in the tower in
that day.
Saika Sagahari.
One from the Boozer arc.
Did he have a bow and arrows?
This is unknown.
Well, of course.
Sokasabura, help me.
Eat!
What do you need?
If everything was like this, the arrow should have
leave a mark in the snow.
Sukasaburu, bring Saika to me
Sagahari and everyone who was nearby at that time
day. Eat!
I confirm.
That day I was actually on duty
tower, but since my task is to protect
castle and look out for enemies behind it
outside...
I had my back turned to the inside
yard
And you didn't hear anything?
The tower stands about 20 meters from
places.
So loud sound I would probably
heard. However, on that day everything was
quiet.
Tell me, did you have a bow with you?
I know how to handle an arquebus.
But it never worked with onions.
Everything is clear. You can go.
Eat.
Etirosa, tell me everything you remember.
Yes, of course, sir.
I remember hearing footsteps coming from
Mr. Genen's rooms.
And when I went inside, Mr. Zuimon
and Mr. Akioka were already standing over
the poor boy's body.
If I remember correctly, Diamon
there was a bow in his hands.
This day is like a fog, sir.
But it seems I was protecting the neighbor from
boy's room corridor. And when
the turmoil began, I stayed there for
in case uninvited people suddenly show up
guests.
Hey Morika.
You say you dont remember that day well.
However, your story is quite detailed.
Ah-ah-ah!
It's my fault that I didn't remember something separate
memory. you asked me
restore the events of that day, sir,
and I tried my best to strain my
memory. When I passed the room
Mister Genena, I noticed that
the doors were slightly open.
So I immediately went inside.
I saw Mr. Genen
spread out on the floor.
He was no longer breathing. Life left him
body.
Soon Juemon came running.
So I went looking for the killer.
And one more thing.
I remember exactly that Juemon had it with him
onion
Here's how.
At Juemon's.
Mr. Nakanis, congratulations on
a brilliant victory.
All thanks to my loyal foot soldiers.
They say Oda's general, Muto Seimon, has fled
in a panic. Yes?
Amazing battle.
However, unfortunately, I was unable to cut off
head to this Muto.
I need a drink.
Is that you, Duimon?
I interviewed our infantrymen, sir.
Why did their morale drop? They are
won. They said they didn't hear
war drum, but I suspect that
they agreed on their words in advance.
This is not good.
Yes. And the real reason?
Sir, I heard a rumor circulating
among the soldiers.
And what are they talking about? About me?
Speak frankly.
They say that you promised to spare
Genena.
But in the end they themselves killed him. Also
cruelly, as Bonabunaga did.
But that's not all.
They think I lied about not
killed the boy, and this gave them a reason not to
trust me?
I'm afraid that's true.
We must find the killer.
Tell me, Djimon, the night they killed
Genena, at
Did you have a bow with you?
Yes.
As a guard, I always found a bow, on
case of uninvited guests or thieves.
What if someone wants to run across the rooftops?
However, I dont remember the bow in front of you,
when I ran into Jenen's room.
I think I left it against the far wall.
I let Mr. Akioka go look for
the murderer, and he stayed to inspect
boy's room.
My longbow would get in the way.
Fine.
I believe you.
Listen, Jamon.
Write down everything we learned about
Jenena, don't show it to anyone.
Hurry up. As you order.
Stop! Who's coming?
Mister! I didn't expect to see you here.
Open it up. Eat!
Poisoned, I hope.
That would be nice.
You look good.
I thought I'd only see you when the castle
will fall. Fortunately, it's still standing.
Then why should we meet?
If the castle falls, you die too.
Now be useful to me.
I spend all my time here.
Days and nights between dreams and reality.
How can I help you?
I'm in a difficult situation.
Kambei, help me.
Mr. Abe's son, Jenen, was
mysteriously killed in the castle.
The killer has not yet been found.
I want to understand how this happened.
One of the greatest rulers of Setsu.
Confused in this children's charabat?
Come on, no injections.
If you solved this mystery, then explain it to me.
rather, what's the matter.
Mister Muroshiga, can I just say a little
chat with you?
Otherwise I'm dying of boredom.
Go ahead.
Mister Muroshiga, as you please
climbing during the war, you spared
hostages, released women and children.
Explain why you did this?
I always believed that murder
pointless.
And even now, when you are up in arms
Foda, his messengers always left
your castle alive. I told you
killing doesn't achieve anything. None
hostages from the Nakagawa clan, so as not
kill them when he betrays you, right?
Not to mention me.
Tell me why am I still breathing? Yes
what's the difference?
The reason you didn't kill me is to me
and so well known.
So why are you asking?
Your words are inconsistent.
What, are you trying to buy time to
solve the riddle? I've already solved it.
You are violating the ancient traditions of the samurai,
just not to kill.
Your mercy brought a terrible death
young Janen.
I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, sir.
Morosiga.
Answer me honestly, why are you doing this?
Are you afraid?
What don't... Won't you answer me? A waste
time.
Wait.
Let me quote one thing
poem.
Lukaraki.
A broken spear does not start a fire. No
there is no way forward
back.
No way forward, no way back.
No way forward, no way back.
Mister,
you all keep repeating these
lines.
Really? This idiot and his poem.
The original is a little different.
Lukaraki rushes towards Harima, but no
no way forward.
no way back.
It seems so.
Where's the line about the broken spear?
I'm not sure I remember correctly.
I came for the Brazier.
Was this your gift to him?
Yes.
You really cared about your well-being
Genena.
If I had given birth to a child when I became
your wife, he would be about now
his age.
Mister!
Maybe it doesn't light a fire?
Was it about this lantern?
Does not start a fire Broken spear
This lantern and the broken spear
So that's it, kombey
I finally figured out how I was
young Jenen was killed.
There was no magic arrow.
This is how he was killed.
Eat!
Is it with a crooked handle?
No. Blakov I tied them together.
What can I think?
Ooo!
Only one person was at that moment in
yard
Mori Kahei.
Answer me, did you kill Jenen?
Why did you kill the one I spared?
Explain yourself. And I forgot any.
I did this for you, sir. Son
the traitor is our enemy. Buddha's enemy. Your
personal enemy. And enemies should be killed!
Is that why you pulled this stunt?
No.
Jenen's death was my doing, but
same time and no.
A fool like me could come up with this
plan only with the help of the gods.
This means Jenens death is real.
divine punishment! You didn't convince me.
Answer!
Who persuaded you to do this?
Nobody persuaded! I don't believe it! I
I swear!
Then your crime is not an easy one.
Mister!
Sir, he must be executed.
Give up now. Your action
unforgivable. Sir, execute him.
Bring a katana. Eat.
If you don't like my decision, then
and tell me.
I think arbitrary executions
unacceptable.
However, I heard your explanation.
I'll spare you.
Redeem your guilt in battle.
Yes?
Yes, sir.
The execution is over.
Return to your posts.
Believe in me.
Believe in the power of Oryok Castle.
Sooner or later we will defeat Oda.
Sir, Oda's troops are approaching
castle. Led by the clans of Hori, Manmi, and
also the Sugai army.
Young clans. He underestimates us.
He doesn't seem to recognize Orioca Castle
seriously.
Get closer and open fire! Eat!
Sir, our troops have won.
And regarding the Kahe sea, he is alone
rushed.
against the enemy and died valiantly.
Fine.
But Bunaga orders to join
him during falconry.
How dare he?
Pathetic trick.
As if I agreed.
He's trying to play with me because
understands that otherwise he will not be able to take the castle
Ryoka.
It's clear.
Nabunaga's cursed arrogance!
Outrageous!
We must send his head back
messenger!
Immediately! What about the Mori clan?
When will his army arrive?
When Uketa joins us,
Mori will also join. And if Uketa us
will he betray? Totally sold out like
chickens!
Maybe this letter on Bunag looks like
like a joke, but it proves that
Ryoka Castle will never fall. Right!
Can I say?
I am Saika Mogorohu, sir.
The Saika clan has been dreaming of punishment for three years now.
at Bunaga for his daring antics.
Just one of yours is enough
words, Mr. Murashiga, and our clan
will lead the attack.
against the main forces of Oda Nabunaga.
Hold your horses, Mr. Mogoroku.
I'm Doriotto Kayama.
We, the Takatsuki clan, must lead
attack on Oda Nabunaga's army. Who's against it?
Be silent!
Both of your clans are the most important part of the defense
our castle.
So no talk of attack.
Defend our castle.
Did you help at first?
Yes.
Mr. Nakanishi also expressed how
that's what you hoped.
But when Takatsuki and Saika volunteered
to lead the attack on Oda, I went cold.
Come on, lay it out. What's the news about
enemy? Yes. East of our castle.
Water's ally Otzu Nagamasa occupied
position.
Nagamasa? Is he still quite young?
Incredible. That's not all.
He did not do this on Nabunaga's orders.
How's that?
He's trying to impress him.
How many people does he have?
Somewhere around a hundred.
Can you guide us? Yes.
Great.
Well done, Etiroza.
I appreciate your presence.
Today we will attack.
Our goal is in the east.
The small army of Otzu Nagamasa.
I will join the elite squad.
Take everything you need.
Those who put their tail between their legs can stay.
Let's get Nagamasa's head!
These roses stay. Then we are on our own.
Good job. Eat.
Akatsuki to the right, Saika to the left.
Let's get rid of those two first.
Attack on cue.
If anything goes wrong, we will blow the whistle
enemy Retreat immediately.
Eat.
The young one on the right is mine, Tsukesabura.
And you do the second one. Eat!
My lord, the enemy is defeated and
runs away! Great! So, prepare your mouth!
Eat!
Hey you!
I'm Hori Yataro!
Come on out! Who organized this attack?
I'm coming for your head!
Etirosov! Help! No!
Mr. Etirosov!
You have served me well these times.
Luck, unfortunately, turned away from me.
Please give my son to yours
by grace,
Mr. Of course, I give my word. Mister,
this is a signal! Od's reinforcements are on their way!
Blow the enemy! Eat!
Let's begin examining the heads of the commanders.
Come on, bring it. Eat!
This is your trophy, sir. Hori Yataru.
No need.
Further. Eat!
Heads obtained by the Takatsuki clan.
True, we dont know whose they are.
Takatsuki warriors, how did you cut them off?
In close combat, in the dark, they don't
named themselves.
So I don't know who exactly we killed.
Further. Eat!
And these are the trophies received by the Saika clan.
Same situation. Unfortunately we don't know
names
Without a doubt, these were all important people.
Both clans will be rewarded.
This completes the inspection.
Mister!
The fate of Etiros fills me with grief.
He died protecting my life.
I heard that he died at the hands of
half naked warrior.
But in his ferocity he surpassed
many dressed.
The desperate are to be feared.
Are you talking about the Ikun Gashima uprising?
Yes.
You witnessed this.
While Oda's guns fired mercilessly,
followers of the Xing Xiu sect rushed at
his warriors without any armor and
weapons.
And their determination drove Oda's forces back
for a while.
As they charged, they shouted, "We're coming.
to heaven!
Let's go to heaven!
I will never forget this horror, how
whatever I want.
Is Nagamasa really killed? It seems so.
Sagahari, tell me.
Sir, my brooch was cut, and I
lost consciousness. And when I woke up,
heard the enemy soldiers shouting,
our valiant general was killed.
Stop, Sagahari. Are you saying we killed
Otzu Nagamasa? That's right.
Nagamas was very young. Two of
the captured heads belonged to the young men.
Exactly. One was cut off by Takatsuki's men.
The other people are Saika. And who exactly is it?
killed?
Takatsuki or Saika?
Saika wield arquebuses. This is definitely not
they.
No no. Just because they
shooters, they could have killed the general
from afar, even before they approached
Takatsuki.
Shut up.
Mister, this can create for us
troubles.
Mister! The head twisted. What?
She's in that basket.
Is this a young warrior? Yes.
This is a very bad sign, sir.
How is this possible?
Sir, there are rumors that we have mined
the head of Otzu Nagamasa himself, but today
his face became terribly distorted.
Is this really true?
This is all nonsense. Perhaps it's not at all
his head.
But people say that this head
now cursed because she was chopped off
Mr. Dario Takayama, Christian,
who does not recognize or respect the Buddha.
Just funny.
What do you think yourself?
If the face is truly distorted, then this
pure madness.
Madness.
It is.
And you havent gotten rid of this horror yet?
Is it still in the basket? Yes she is here
right in this very basket.
So,
The rumors weren't true after all.
Cute, from this night on, count your heads.
As far as I remember...
Takatsuki and Saiko got four. ABOUT!
There was another one.
Exactly! Your trophy Hori Yataro!
I almost forgot.
Right.
The creepy head belonged to Hori Yataro.
At first I was too shocked, but then
recognized him.
Someone replaced the young warrior's head.
It can't be.
But who could do this? And most importantly,
why?
I don't know. Was this an attempt to sow
troubles?
Or was there some other reason? And
It's really kind of crazy.
Yuzeimon, today you will spend military
advice.
Eat.
What if another dispute breaks out at the council?
about the murder of Nagamasa?
Try to keep things organized.
And neutrality.
And I have other things to do. Eat. How
you order.
Please, make yourself comfortable.
Amazing, sir.
True pleasure.
How is your son Ukon?
Thank you for asking, sir.
I couldn't know that he would betray you and
will go over to Oda. This idiot has disgraced
me and our entire family. Oda ordered
your clan to join it,
threatening to kill all Christians. Yes.
You are also a Christian.
You must sympathize with Ukon?
Not at all.
What?
Do we pray to Buddha or Christian
God? We pray for the prosperity of our
families We samurai do not exist for the sake of
salvation of Buddhism or Christianity.
Understand.
Mister Derrieux, tell me how your
did the soldiers get the head? A young warrior. I
I will tell you everything that my
warriors, without hiding anything from you, sir.
Very elegant.
Do you think so?
Saika knowledge is passed on orally. When
when loading or shooting, the stand should
be perfectly measured.
My big brother Magaiti is impeccable
controlled himself.
I saw you, the same excellent
correction, that's why I did this
inference.
One bearing is not enough to solve
secret.
Are you talking about the mysterious head?
It's about her. Do you think this is
Buddha's curse against Christians?
No, sir, I don't believe in that. Buddha is not
punishes.
Why not? You believe in Buddha.
Your monks would not agree with you.
But I'm not a monk, sir.
I believe that Buddhism has no place in
war.
One step forward to heaven, one step back to hell.
An unpleasant phrase, but very fair.
Do you find it funny?
Why? Yes, just you see me
through and through.
And everyone already understood. I invited you here
to find out which clan is Saeka or
Takatsuki killed Otsu Nagamasa. I
used tea as a tool in war.
Thus he insulted you. I'm sorry.
No, sir.
This is me asking for your forgiveness.
So, Mogoroku.
Tell me how your soldiers got
the head of that young warrior.
Yes.
I'll tell you everything, sir.
Akyoha!
Is it really arson?
This is true.
A couple of local commoners decided
set fire to a Christian church. Which one
stupidity! Sheer stupidity!
The Takatsuki and Saika clans are not at all feuding
among themselves! There's no sign
pointing this out!
That's it, sir.
And some of you idiots, for some reason
decided to take sides and commit arson?
A reckless act.
However... It seems that many have succumbed
influence of rumors.
Head.
I must find out the truth.
You disrespectfully communicated with our
Mr.
Down here, I'm his right hand, okay?
And you are just our prisoner.
For now, you're still alive.
And this is only thanks to me!
You have absolutely no idea what's next
life has prepared for you.
What?
Do you want to know the true nature of Araki?
Murashiga?
Mister Setso.
His servants do not notice anything.
But I know this man inside and out
across.
All his past, his present and
the future he longs for.
Do you want to know?
Are you crazy?
Prepare to die, traitor!
And it turned out to kill from a prison cell
much easier than I thought.
Kambai, what did you do to this unfortunate thing?
Did you persuade him to kill me?
No, not really.
I didn't want your life, but this life
guard.
In exchange for the beatings he gave me, I said
a few words to him.
That's it.
Did you use me to kill him?
I couldn't do it myself, so...
Fadonok!
Sorry for making you angry. I don't have
there was a choice. I ask you to forgive me.
If you can help me with one thing,
make amends for your guilt.
Which head belonged to Nagamasa?
I need ironclad proof!
Another mystery.
And you need me again. If you like it yourself
you should look at all these records, then
you can easily find everything you need.
What did you find?
If you don't see this, it means you
are weighed down by some other problems.
Am I right?
And as for the general's killer...
Yes, everything is obvious.
Mister Murasyuga, what do you think?
why was your night attack like this?
successful?
Because of Nagamasa's carelessness.
Carelessness. Yes, that's it.
A general hiding in the rear is absurd
but even more absurd.
It seems that he took off his helmet to
see how close we got
enemies. Complete carelessness, right?
Carelessness. So that's why.
To be honest, I care more about yours
anxiety. The head is not the main thing here.
Beware of where it may lead
anxiety.
Sir, five church arsonists
found and arrested. Already? Fine.
They will be an example to others. Eat.
Let's get back to business.
I finally figured out the riddle of the head
general
Neither of you killed Nagamasa.
However, both the Takatsuki clan and the Saika clan
fought bravely and killed
at least one each
high-ranking warrior. For this both
clan will be awarded.
Sir, I dont understand, what then
creepy head?
Yuzeimon, why do you think our
Was the attack that successful?
Because we got Nagamasa's head. You
right, and at the same time wrong.
When we attacked, the enemy had no
general on the battlefield.
So Nagamasa ran away in cowardice? No.
Nagamasa was definitely killed.
But no one took his head.
How is this possible?
After the commander dies, he
the head is always cut off.
That's true.
However, some people don't care
trophies.
For example, me.
What?
The warrior I am at the very beginning
shot with a bow and was nogomasa.
He wanted to listen and watched himself
padlock, so he didnt wear a helmet.
This carelessness ultimately destroyed him.
Listen carefully.
Courage, audacity and reckless
Actions don't always pay off.
Sometimes it's better to step back and show up
caution.
Get this on your nose.
How delicious.
The water even seems sweet.
I'm glad you like it.
But I see that something is bothering you.
Are you still thinking about that message on the arrow?
Nothing can be hidden from you.
Ukita betrayed us.
Have your fears come true?
Join me, Yukita, during
hunting.
This is what was in that note.
Only I know about this.
Was your night attack really only
just an attempt... and to distract the commanders from
this note.
Yes, that's right.
The main routes from the west have already been cut off.
This means that the war will soon reach
our castle?
This scares me.
Ukita betrayed us.
What?
Is this true, sir?
I repeat. Ukita joined the army
Odes.
Anyone want to speak?
So the sea won't come?
And our future is now unclear. Yes and
I don't care about this Ukita.
Land routes are cut off, but not
trouble. The sea will arrive by sea.
Mister Noda.
It's commendable that you remain optimistic
but your position is quite wrong. Mine
Is the position wrong?
Boy, how dare you mock
over me, the faithful native of Saku? I don't
I'm making fun of you.
I'm just telling the truth.
And one more thing.
I'm not a boy.
I ask Kitagawaru Yusaku to remember.
That's enough, calm down.
I agree with Mr. Noto.
Our impregnable castle.
holds back the onslaught of the army.
Nabunaga can't do anything to us.
Muhamm, thank you for coming.
Have you delivered the letter yet?
Yes.
Akachi Mitsuhida responded?
Mister Akachi.
He said that he was very worried about your
future. How's that?
Moreover, even though you risked everything,
to challenge on Bunaga, lord
Akachi can't figure out why now
you are so eager to give up, sir.
Fair.
This castle really won't fall like that
easy.
However... The goal of war is victory. And mine
victory will be the head of Nabunaga, obtained
me and the sea. Not the defense of this castle.
Wonderful words, sir. Time is not
waiting.
Oda's allies are still in Harima.
Resolve the conflict with the sea.
Mitsuhide is busy fighting.
Nabunaga cannot focus only
on us.
However, now that he's on his side
Ukita...
Nabunaga will prepare a full-scale
attack.
But first I will try to assure him of our
surrender to lull vigilance.
We will plan for victory later.
An impressive plan, sir.
But I'm afraid there is some complication.
Mister Akachi demands iron
evidence that you intend
give up. I thought so. What exactly is he
wants?
Yours... Torosaru, sir.
My Torosaru?
OK then.
Here is my Tarasaru.
Is this him?
An excellent teapot.
Costing two thousand can. I heard
For one of these you can buy a whole castle.
Would you like to take a look?
No, I'm not worthy.
If we deliver it to Mitsuhida...
This will put pressure on him.
Such a treasure cannot be hidden from
other people's eyes.
They'll start saying that he got it
dishonestly, which will force him
act. And he won't have a choice
other than help me.
Mohen, this is not an easy task.
Will you accept it?
Certainly.
Even if it costs
my life.
Spend the night in the southern house, and tomorrow
wait for the gate to open and go.
Zimon will deliver a secret message.
I will fulfill your will.
Sir, are you here?
Don't be shy.
Come in.
Have you cleaned up?
No.
I didn't do anything. Just looking
them.
Can I admire them with you?
I gave it to Torasara.
I noticed that he wasn't here.
Some people really wanted that teapot.
It's clear.
All for the sake of victory.
When Matsunaga refused to give up his
precious teapot Hiraguma, Nabunaga
killed him.
I won't repeat his mistake.
This is a strategic treasure collection.
It's time to use it.
But still...
It's too late to shed tears, but I regret that I gave
Torasaru. What kind of person am I? So sad
and some kind of teapot. I'm the one who
sends thousands of people to their deaths.
You are not forbidden to be sad.
Just don't tell anyone about this.
Of course I won't.
You won't, but you will laugh at me.
I wouldn't.
In this world, affection is always
leads to pain.
Please laugh.
I'm already sick of this
endless war.
You decided to share what you have on
heart? I
truly grateful.
Come back!
Everyone back!
Give way!
Mister! Everyone back! Mr. arrived
Murashiga!
Calm down!
Kishina! What kind of mess have you created?
Go home now!
Listen or die!
Sir, please forgive me.
Monk Muchen and Mr. Akioka both left
from life.
And Akioka too? Yes.
How could such an experienced swordsman as
Is he stupid to die like that?
Yusaku? What are you doing here?
My relative was sick and wanted
invite monk Muchen. I found out that
he stopped here.
But when I entered, Muchen was no longer breathing.
Mister, stop!
Why did you decide to place Muchen in such
a modest home? Did you really order
should he do something?
How dare you?
I don't have time to answer
here
Stay close to Ekioka. Go. Eat!
I'm late.
This is... Without a doubt, Muhen.
Jamon, find the message.
And keep it to yourself.
Eat.
And one more thing.
I gave Muhenu to Torosaru.
What? He's priceless. He's not here.
Most likely stolen.
But it is possible that Mukhen managed to
hide.
Search every corner.
Torosaru is round.
Yellow tint.
As you order.
Was Akioka attacked from behind?
Even if so, who could kill such a one?
an experienced warrior like him?
Sokisabura, bring me everyone who was
today not far from this house, including
including Yasaka.
Okay, in a minute.
Thor Saru is nowhere to be found.
I thought so.
And the message?
It was sewn into the monk's collar
Muchena.
The same letter that I delivered to him
earlier.
However, the rhymes on his collar were
dissolved. And the stamp on the letter is a little
damaged.
So someone opened it?
It looks like it.
Izumiya, when you were delivering food to the house,
where Mukhen stayed, you didnt see
wicker box?
I beg your pardon, sir.
I don't remember this.
Was Muchen alone in the house or not?
Unfortunately, I don't remember.
However...
Before my arrival I was already looking after him
one of the temple servants, sir.
Last night I found out that the monk
was staying at a cabin so I went to
market for vegetables. And when I returned, I
it seemed that the monk had a visitor.
I cooked dinner and then asked
him, is there anything else needed?
the monk's room, and I didn't go in.
He answered no.
And he said that he would eat alone, since
his visitor had already left.
Continue.
After that I got some water and started
work.
I remember I heard the monk reading
esoteric sutra.
And after some time I saw him
headed to the latrine.
Are you sure you saw Muchen?
Exactly.
I dont understand, why question me?
It is obvious that this was done by someone from
people of Oda.
But if so, why would they kill the monk?
Muchena?
Why did he even stop there?
house?
I want to figure out what's going on here.
Sir, tell me.
I can't.
I won't accept this, sir!
You'll have to come to terms with this.
For now, be patient.
Indeed, very strange.
Why didn't the killer take the letter?
I guess only because it doesn't
was his goal. What was the goal?
Well, maybe the attacker just wanted
steal Thor Sarah? Doesn't add up.
An ordinary thief would not look for something hidden
letter.
Correctly noted.
What nonsense?
I'm clearly missing something.
Yes, something is fishy here.
Tell me what you think.
Nothing more.
Has wisdom dried up?
I'm just a person.
Rotting in this dungeon.
Various idle thoughts come to mind,
and to my shame they dull my wisdom.
I know well what clouds your
mind.
The fate of your son Shojumaru.
He has a very caring father.
I was ready for such a fate. To which
fate?
Cling to samurai traditions and
accept the unacceptable? You to this fate
were you preparing?
You never wanted to change this way
at least a little?
Tell me, harvester.
Mister Murashiga.
I ask you only one thing.
Listen to my humble request.
Speak.
Kanbei bravely made the boot.
Tell this to Oda when you see him.
So that one day your son will avenge you,
killing me.
Not for that at all.
If by some lucky chance
Shojimaru is still alive
I want Oda when she hears yours
words, recognized him as the head
Kuroda clan. So you want to save
your clan?
Of course I do.
And for you this is more important than your own
life?
Incomparably more important.
So be it.
Kuroda Kanbei, who is long dead.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Mister. What happened? Sorry,
The offender was caught.
He made his way to the central fortress.
Must be Oda's spy.
Make him give it all he has
found out.
That's laughter.
The traitor dog barks with arrogance
general
And this is... Jinsuka from the Kuroda clan.
Mister Sets recognizes the name of such
nonentity? I can't believe my ears.
Jinsuka, why did you sneak into the castle?
Your clan is not attacking us.
Why, you ask?
Isn't it clear?
Did he really come to save Kanbei?
Mister Morosiga, is Kanbei still
alive? I don't have to answer you.
Are you saying that he is still dead?
Dead.
Killed himself in prison.
I'm late.
Oh woe! Kanbei is dead.
Let his son become the head of the clan.
Late! It's too late!
Why? If someone would return their head
Mr. Kanbei, he would have at least
some chance!
Nabunaga decided that Mr.
switched over to your side!
No one would believe that you could
sit him down and take him prisoner!
You didn't know, sir?
Nabunaga killed Kanbei's only son,
Shojumaru! He doesn't sit anyone, not even
little children!
Now our clan is finished!
Oh you pig.
This has nothing to do with me.
The fact that Nabunaga kills prisoners is not for
who knows? If this is the case for you
it's frustrating, do something to
prevent this.
Its a shame to even kill this pawn.
Throw him out of the castle quickly. And it will be
resist, so kill on the spot.
Get up!
It's too late.
Are you blaming me?
No. What about Nabunaga? Him too.
The killing of hostages is commonplace in
war.
Zen Suki said that now the Kurota clan
will die.
But you and I know that you are still alive.
What do you say?
Kanbei?
As you can see, Nabunaga is completely
I don't care about your clan.
Both you and Sojumaru were alive until
were beneficial.
This is what an alliance with Oda leads to.
Now you've finally found freedom
getting rid of Nabunaga's power.
Kanbei, renounce Oda and Kuroda and
unite with me.
I hear you.
But I will not take the side of Oda or
side of Orioca Castle.
However, I admire you as a person
Murashiga.
And I will devote myself entirely to service
to you, sir.
This is true?
Don't doubt it, sir.
They don't attack, but they don't retreat either.
are going.
What is Oda thinking about?
Kyuzeymon. Yes.
You know that Kuroda Kanbei has already
for quite a long time chained in our
dungeon? I know. I'm thinking of giving
give him freedom.
But why, sir? For him to join
military council.
We don't have to reveal it
name.
Mister.
This won't do Setsu any good.
Why?
The Kuroda clan from Harima Province, who
have long been at odds with Setsu Province.
If you decide to let a person into the castle
from this province, then it is inevitable
will split us in half and create extra
difficulties in the fight against Oda.
Agree. The people of Setsu will never accept
Kurodu. Yes.
We are on the verge of a crisis.
And still, pride comes first.
Many people live like this.
Leave us.
Eat.
Who can I trust and to what extent?
I was assured that the Harimites would not be here
glad.
If I killed the man who told me this
said I wouldn't have any more
allies in this castle.
Sorry, kanbai.
I'm not surprised.
Why don't you pretend to be Ronin?
and don't join my military
advice? You must be joking?
Do you think it won't work?
Can I ask you one question?
Mister Murasega, tell me why you
do you keep coming to me in prison?
What are you talking about? All alone, without
accompaniment.
I'll tell you why.
You come here, Mr. Murasega,
to talk about the status of the ongoing
war. How absurd.
I invite you to join the Council
only because I feel sorry for you.
I don't come here to talk about
war.
Oh really?
Or maybe you just have no one else to be with
talk?
Your time in Woda's service, I believe, was
very fascinating, Mr. Murashiga.
Mr. Hasiba, Mr. Sebata,
Mister Akachi.
A whole scattering of generals, experts in tea
and in the war, with whom it was possible
maintain a worthwhile conversation.
However, here in Oryoka Castle...
Nobody else can talk to you
at your same level. Not a single person
except for me, simply not capable
understand you.
That's why, Mr. Murashiga, you
come here at once.
Yes, the name does not need approval of his actions.
As long as my people perform
orders, I don't need anything.
If so...
Then why are your loyal vassals, who
you trust so zealously, knowing that you dont
avoid the fall of this castle, continue
repeat this reckless thing over and over again
nonsense about the speedy arrival of the sea?
Watch your tongue, Kanpain!
You understand better than anyone, sir.
Murashiga that this war has no future.
You've probably already taken steps to
prevent Oda's attack.
But, of course, none of yours
honorable vassals nothing about this
doesn't know.
And they all keep talking like
can win.
None of them think about what
Mr. Murashiga is trying to reach. But
why, you ask?
Because...
On this earth, Murashiga, you are a stranger. You don't
grew up here.
And this is no place for you.
But the bloodlines of your vassals are leaving
roots in Setsu.
If Oda captures the castle, his lord
will have to pay with his life, and
the rest will live if they bow down
in front of him.
They have another way out. Not at all
definitely give up.
They swore to fight to the last
men.
Therefore, you, Mr. Muroshiga,
must fight and win this
war to survive. Like anyone else
daimyo.
After all, we are at war.
But then you admit that you are the same as
and Nabunaga?
Do you admit it or not?
Wow, you brat!
You should hate Nabunaga, not
me.
Yes, my lord. I bow to you
in awe.
Looks like I'm still not myself.
Because of my son's death my mind
clouded by madness.
But while I'm sane, may I share
with you solving the mystery that you tell me
told?
Speak. Eat.
About that spy Oda who...
Killed a monk and stole the treasure.
Inside and outside.
Causes and consequences.
Exoteric and esoteric. Before and
after. Necessary and unnecessary. What if everything
was it turned on its head?
Remember what disappeared from the house. Here you go
hint.
Take a closer look at the temple servant.
Mister Noto, stop. Master's order.
Gentlemen, you say?
Come on, get out of the way, brats!
How dare you block my path,
Noto Nyudo, a respected native of Setsu? What
for disrespect?
Noto Nyudo!
You are accused of murdering Muhain and
Akioki. This is unforgivable!
Are you blaming me?
Did you hear that?
Rumor has it that Kitagawar did it
Yosaku.
Rumors that you spread?
I wouldn't do that.
You will have a minute to justify yourself.
Follow me!
I listen carefully. I have nothing to do with you
say, sir. In that case
I will speak.
Akioka was killed by a blow from behind.
Only a surprise attack could
prevent such a master from revealing in time
sword
The killer had a wicker box and a staff,
like Muchen.
So Akioka relaxed and lost
vigilance. Mister, forgive me
but I still can't understand. Tango.
What if there were before and after
rearranged?
Rearranged? I believe the attacker killed
Muchena even before Akioka arrived and
temple servant. And then I pretended
Muchen, so that at an unexpected moment
get rid of Akioka. This can't happen
be.
The temple servant states that
talked to Muchen through the doors
rooms. Everything is exactly like that. And he
heard Mukhen read esoteric
sutra
And then I saw him go into the latrine
place, so, sir, it seems to me
This is quite strong evidence.
Can I go already?
It's a shame to waste your time on this
unreasonable interrogation. It seems to me, or
Mr. just wants to hide the fact
that Oda's spy is still at large.
Okay, I'll tell you everything.
Just listen to me carefully.
Kyuzeimon, the temple servant heard
esoteric sutra? Yes. But he
follower of the exoteric sect of Iko.
He could not know the esoteric sutras.
So tell me, what are we missing?
We're missing out... I understand everything!
The false mukhe began to read a random sutra,
which, in turn, was taken for
esoteric.
Esoterics and exoterics are confused. All
right. Wait, but what does this have to do with
Mr. Nota?
The killer entered the house shortly after leaving
Izumi and dealt with Muchen. When
the temple servant returned, he imitated
Muchen's voice and pretended to read as he walked
sutras.
After a while he went outside, but the servant
saw him, so he pretended.
that goes to the latrine.
It was probably then that he learned that
Akioka stands guard nearby.
He waited until the temple servant left,
and picked up a wicker box that was
at Muchen.
All he needed to disguise himself was
the necessary and the unnecessary have swapped places.
And then he deceived and killed Akioka.
Was everything exactly like that, Mr. Noto?
With such pitiful lies to you, there is no one in my
guilt cannot convince.
Many people in this castle look like monks.
You claim that I impersonated
Muchena, but who saw me?
That's right, no one.
Stand!
You were only afraid of one person,
who saw you.
You wanted to kill him.
And the news of his disappearance became for you
relief.
Eat!
Is this really a temple servant?
Tell us what you saw.
Yes, sure.
I saw Monk Muchen walking into the latrine
place.
It was him, I'm sure.
I saw the face clearly. This was the first time
when I saw monk Muchen. Take a look at
him.
It's you!
Monk Muchen! Are you alive?
Without a doubt, it's him! This is Monk Muhen!
Mister Noto, why kill Muchen?
Why go to such lengths to
just read my secret letter?
And what do you think was in it?
written?
Not answering?
Then I'll tell you.
You've been serving Oda all this time!
You were afraid that you would be found out.
When did you find out that Muchen had a secret
errand, you went on a killing spree.
Noto Nyudo.
Here in Orioca Castle.
And throughout the entire Setsu province.
No one can hide anything from me.
Remember this!
Damn you, Murashiga.
How dare you disgrace me like that?
You seem to have forgotten something, stranger.
So let me remind you that without
support for the indigenous people of Setsu you were
would be nobody!
You accuse me of serving
Ode.
But I also know your secret.
I saw a secret message.
Listen, my brothers.
What was that?
Without a doubt.
God's punishment!
It can't be. He was struck by lightning.
Found it? Here he is.
He came back to me.
I found him abandoned in a latrine
Noto's personal residence. He wasn't
touched.
Noto Nyudo did not understand his true
values.
I'll send it to Mitsuhida.
Prepare yourself.
Sir, I have something to tell you.
Speak.
This concerns Mr. Akachi. I heard
that he recently met with Nabunaga.
Mitsuhida? Listen to what he said.
I do not desire any treasures of this world.
All I want is to serve my
Mr.
He doesn't need Tarasaru at all.
It looks like it.
Mitsuhide took the initiative to
divert suspicion to Bunagi.
Despite this, he will help change it
opinion.
Yes, there is still time.
No.
Enough.
Enough of this.
I am very glad that Torah Saru is in
security.
The true value of a thing is revealed only
to anyone who can see it.
That's right.
Will you use it again
to win the war?
No. I'll never give it away again.
Even if I have to, I can't.
Let them criticize me that I'm not worthy
be a master.
I will do as I please.
Do you agree with me?
Quiet.
Do just that.
I am at your service, sir.
Everything here is overgrown with grass, it is necessary
clear.
I will order the servants to begin
ASAP. It was not enough for the enemy
hid here. The castle is full
mess.
What is this, a bullet?
If we don't solve this mystery, consider us
doomed.
Do you remember how the Nude note in broad daylight
struck by lightning?
Do you think this has something to do with it? Oh yes.
Before the lightning struck I heard a loud
clap, then the note fell, and there was lightning
already after. Yes, you're right.
I immediately examined Noth's body and found
bullet in his chest.
It turns out that someone shot him with
guns. The killer probably didn't expect that
Lightning will follow immediately after the shot.
But he definitely wanted Note Nude
fell silent. Means.
This was done by someone who serves Oda. This
I don't know.
But, Juimon, you know what was in my
letter addressed to Aketa.
I know. Before the Nota incident, I was going to
announce the plan I have developed
change.
But before I could do that and
before Nota could speak,
a shot sounded.
Maybe this was a warning to you?
If I had spoken before NOTO,
perhaps this bullet would have hit me.
This is all very serious.
I will find out who shot NOTO that day
ASAP.
There's no doubt that someone planned everything
this is in advance. But what is his true
goal?
Find out everything you can. Eat.
We don't have enough people and firearms
weapons.
Our priority now is to find a way
increase the number of allies.
Hongaji Temple resisted Oda's attack
nine whole long years. We
must stand their ground as long as the wind blows
will not change one day. What do you think?
Have you already forgotten?
Our lord has a grand one
intention. Defeat Nabunaga here with
with the help of the support of the Mori clan.
Sir, let me say something.
I believe that we should right now
hand over the castle.
If we hurry, there is a chance that Nabunaga
will spare us. And then we will wait and strike
at the most unexpected moment.
What do you say?
Great idea.
Is it true? Yes.
But reckless surrender will do good
only to the enemy. Who will report everything
Nabunage, how and when?
I will go to Koda myself and contact
Messrs. Akata and Sebate.
In this way I will protect the lives of our people and
your life, sir.
You are a good person.
I appreciate it.
Mister!
Tioho, what's wrong with you?
I see endless rivers of blood everywhere.
And no matter what I do, they don't go anywhere
leaving.
Tiojo, come to your senses.
This is not a battlefield.
Budo, where are you?
Where have you gone?
Yes, here he is.
Look carefully.
There are many glorious ones near and far away
husbands
will die.
I'm so ashamed.
Stop it.
I hope my visions are in no way
will interfere with your military plans, sir.
Sir, on that ill-fated day only
among the guard soldiers in the central tower
had guns with them.
What about the Saika clan?
None of them were there that day
service.
Do you have a guess where
Was the shooter present at the time of the shot?
Yes, sir.
Considering the height of the wall on which he stood
Notto, and the flight range detected
bullets, the shooter could be sitting on a pine tree, on
the second floor of the tower or on the roof of your
personal residence? So what of this
most likely?
The roof of your residence.
Why?
The second floor of the tower is not suitable because
is too high for
aim accurately.
The height of the pine tree is ideal, but from this position
go virtually unnoticed
impossible. Have you checked?
Of course, sir.
Juimon, you did a good job.
However, who exactly has a grudge against you,
Murashiga, I can't figure it out.
Well, that's clear.
This secret is not even given to you.
Come on, have a drink.
Just what you need.
What goes around comes around.
I deposed Ekeda to seize this
castle, but never thought that I
will suffer the same fate.
It looks like you intend to surrender the castle before
how this will happen.
If only it were that simple, Kambain.
Mister Morosiga, I know it is so
worries you a lot. Yes?
So what?
Saving life.
Including mine. Even though it's risky. I
could kill you at any moment.
But those who may be useful, I do not
I kill.
That's the whole answer.
I know that's not true.
Really?
Nabunaga kills.
But Mr. Morosiga is not.
You wanted the whole world to know about it.
Isn't that right?
Mister Nabunaga, the maids are waiting
outside.
In my absence they decided to leave
castle and indulge in entertainment.
What would you do?
I would have reprimanded him. As a last resort,
I would fire him. This is a bad example!
Mister? The monks say that
merciless murder will bring me down
curse. Let's find out if it's true
this.
I believe that there may be hidden in their words
valuable lesson.
I want to see what exactly is hidden.
What is this?
Well, do you see what was hidden?
Murashiga, now it's your turn.
If a warrior living in wartime does not
kills, he will suffer greatly.
You don't know anything.
Have you ever thought about changing
the existing order, turn everything upside down
upside down.
That's right. I talk a lot.
To be honest, I would give up this castle.
But first of all...
I must find the traitor who
shot Mr. Noto.
For what purpose?
To give it to Nabunaga.
I don't know his motives.
However, I know for sure that he shot
Oda's ally.
I'll bring the killer's head to begin
peace negotiations. That's my goal.
It will be surrender without a single drop
blood.
My God.
Now I understand.
And regarding the death of Noth, can I say
your version, Mr. Murashiga?
Speak.
What if lightning hadn't struck at that moment
shot? There would have been a shot anyway
produced and would have killed Noth.
What if we remove this too?
Then they would shoot at me.
They would have been killed or seriously injured. And I think
otherwise.
The killer's target was initially Mr.
Note. And he was just waiting for him to
climb that wall alone.
Why?
Because the killer most likely knew
that you will not kill Noth.
Are you saying that he did this instead?
me?
I think so.
Who was it?
And what does he want?
Your killer realized the divine
punishment, striking the traitor Note in front of
all your advisors.
A cruel act that you would
never made up my mind.
Thus, he wanted to instill in people
fear of the wrath of the gods.
In other words, this is divine punishment
by human hands.
Unfortunately, I have nothing more to add.
Best for shooting a gun
the roof fits. But the killer understood that
even if Noto dies, his capture
would destroy the appearance of the divine
the punishment he was trying to imitate.
He must have escaped through the window, but
There is no further way out from there.
Apparently someone at the residence helped him
leave unnoticed.
It seems so.
Sir, dinner is already ready and getting cold.
What's happened? Is something bothering you? I
I finally understand what this is all about
Kambei spoke for a while.
Clear. I'm very happy for you.
Do you want to listen?
Let's.
The invisible arrow that killed Jenen.
Distorted head.
Snot incident.
It all felt like punishment
sent by the gods themselves. And yet why
Jenen sat in the dark with his back to the spear,
perfect between the sashes, just a little
doors ajar, as if knowing that he
waits, and without resisting it?
Who and why cleverly replaced the head
young warrior to an ominous distorted
head? And finally, who helped?
The arquebusier who...
shot Nota to escape safely with
roofs.
Tioha, were you the one who ordered the death of Noth?
Was the shooter from the Saika clan?
Yes. And she carried the gun the day before
murders?
Yes, I took one of the guns the day before
military council.
And asked the warrior of the Saika clan to shoot
Note from the roof.
I admit, all this was according to my plan.
And you also replaced the heads of the dead
warriors? Yes.
She ordered this to one of the maids. What
about Jenen?
I told him that if he sits in front
The brazier, then his desire is certain
will come true.
Did he really want death that badly? He
dreamed about her. For not following
samurai traditions? You brought down on
such a punishment for me? Not at all, sir. I
wanted to prove that God's providence
really exists.
To whom?
To the people of Arioca.
People?
You wanted to spark a rebellion like
what happened in Nagashima? What are you talking about
thought?
Incite people?
That's your opinion of me.
I don't understand, Tioja.
If you want to teach them religion, why?
was it necessary to prove divine punishment?
You samurai, with your swords and armor,
maybe you will survive this age of war,
you will remain unharmed.
But ordinary people die the same way
invisible, like insects.
Answer my question.
What do they fear most in the world?
ordinary people?
Apparently everyone is afraid of death. And you,
sir, you too most of all
are you afraid of death?
I can't say I'm not afraid.
But a samurai is useless if most
afraid of death.
Okay, sir.
Let me enlighten you.
What people are usually afraid of more than death is
what will happen after it.
No salvation in the afterlife.
Endless suffering.
I saw it all with my own eyes in
Nagashima.
It must have left its mark.
Yes.
The uprising of the Iko sect was terrifying.
A castle full of ordinary people clutching
for any weapon that they could
reach out They firmly believed that
Nagashima will not fall even if he attacks
Ode.
They all shouted "Step forward to heaven, step
back to hell."
One step forward to heaven, one step back to hell.
It's all because of this cruel saying.
These terrible words never came from
mouth of Amida Buddha.
Just one day some cunning monk
invented them to gain favor
samurai
In the end, Oda surrounded the people
Nagashima.
I was among others helpless,
trapped on a bloody field
battle.
We all knew very well that we would soon die,
and that's why we
repeated the same mantra.
But what we feared most was not death, but
that our suffering will not end
with death.
Step forward to heaven.
Step back to hell.
This saying doomed us to this
fate.
While the siege continued, people died in the castle
tens of thousands
ordinary people.
And when Oda finally decided to leave us in
peace,
Someone suddenly said.
Are we retreating?
We must not retreat.
We must go to heaven.
We must ascend.
And without a single sword they rushed at
enemy.
Just imagine, just run
forward. And instantly.
Oda opened fire and killed them all.
I made my way through the piles of bodies, barely
saving your life.
I returned to Osaka.
And existed as an empty shell until
One day you didn't show up.
Now, thanks to you, my life is similar
to a fairy tale.
However...
Finding myself surrounded by Oda again, I
vowed to protect at all costs
the people of Setsu from another Nagashima. Becoming
witnesses of mysterious phenomena
divine punishment, they would believe...
They would definitely
believed that Buddha existed and that
salvation is always possible for those who
goes forward, and for those who retreat.
Paradise awaits everyone without exception.
That's why you put on this performance with
divine punishment?
Yes.
For the weak to be saved, they need
was to give some kind of sign.
Even if this sign is a lie? This is not at all
wasn't a lie.
With my hands the Buddha guided these people.
How come you don't understand this? Here
the reason why I survived then and
I continue to live now.
Now everything is clear to me.
Sir, please kill me with your
with a sword.
Quiet.
Can I ask you something?
Anything.
Those many who will die.
Is there really me among them?
Of course, sir.
You look kind of haggard. I'm more
I don't fit the role of Mr.
castle This is where you are wrong.
I'd say you just grew up in
dignity. No need to climb.
By the way, what prompted you to do your
uprising, Morosiga?
I once had my hopes up in Oda. But
this man allowed the authorities
slip through your fingers.
I killed many people myself, but he killed
too much.
The people and their warriors will one day turn away
from him.
And all this time I was just trying not to be
crushed by the fall of the ode.
Perhaps I was in a hurry after all.
Gain support without killing -
worthy aspiration.
However, it is impossible to win without killing.
It's very simple.
If you win, you won't have to kill.
So you want to rule the world.
I know everyone in this castle was one and
same opinion.
And yet somehow in the end I lost
the trust of your people.
I'll explain it to you, Murashiga. All because
that you kept them faithful through victories and
only victories.
Therefore, to win now, there is
only one way.
Don't joke with me.
Why would I joke about war, Muroshiga?
So speak.
I'll tell you.
Go alone to Aki, to the territory
Mori clan. Convince Mr. Mori personally
and then the wind will surely change.
Mori is also worried about his reputation.
I'm sure he won't allow Mr.
Arake Murashige will remain unanswered. He
will be obliged to send troops.
Brilliant. First I suggest you
go to the port of Amagasaki.
Kitagawara Yosaku probably knows
a route unknown even to Oda.
Yes. How will you be at the port?
Find a gentleman named Ura. Already
Believe me, a man of his caliber can easily
will give you Waka's boat. I know
Mr. Uru. You're right, he definitely is
will help. As soon as you arrive in Vake,
make a visit to Mr. Ekei immediately.
He is known for his hatred of Oda. He
will probably arrange a meeting for you with
Mr Mori.
And be sure to choose the right one for him
gift.
And dont forget for his uncle, Mr.
Kava cameo. Okay, I'll remember. Kambe,
you came up with all this while you were sitting here in
dungeon?
This is just the beginning of my plan.
When you return from the sea as allies,
it will only even the odds.
Using your experience in battle - here
the true key to victory. Don't forget about
this, Murashiga.
So this is how you fight.
Who would believe that the Daimyo would leave his
castle to seek help?
Oda would easily capture the castle
Orioca, and my name would be forever
disgraced. The name of the coward who ran
saving your own skin.
How dare you plot against me,
combine?
You finally saw through my trick.
Something has clearly changed in you.
So you were just waiting.
Ten months.
Until miracles begin to happen in the castle,
and my vassals will not leave me.
I was waiting for the moment when...
But Bunaga will never show
I have mercy.
That's right.
You stayed in the dungeon to plan
my fall.
Great strategy, sir. You should
ask Mora for help personally.
This will certainly change the course of events and
will lift the spirit of every inhabitant of the castle.
Like a ray of light in pitch darkness.
What if... What if suddenly Nabunaga
will attack yours from the sea
return? In that case, give up.
Don't fight him.
Say that Araki Murashiga abandoned his
people and cowardly ran away.
The lord who abandoned his warriors,
no one will believe it. No.
But Bunaga will believe it.
Such a formidable man.
He himself now dreams of escaping before
how one of his men would finish him off.
It can't be.
Where is this world heading?
Nothing makes sense anymore.
No matter what happens if you
you wake up alive, that means you still have
lucky. Remember this.
Mister!
Is this what it means to rule the world?
Rule the world?
Leave it to the slobbering dogs.
As you wish, sir.
Leave the rest to us.
And you do what you have to do.
Thank you.
Now the enemies won't catch us.
Sir, I must leave you.
Understand.
All ten months of my siege
my only desire was to serve you.
This is exactly what I did, without any
regrets.
But now I want to wait for you here, together
with the others until you
lead the sea to Orioca Castle.
Mister, I can't leave mine
brothers.
Okay, Dumon.
So, guard the castle until I
return.
I swear, sir. Well, what if suddenly...
If suddenly I never come back...
Duimon, don't die.
You don't have to die for me.
The right time will come.
And you will die for a better master.
Sir, I will leave you too.
Fine. Understand I'm a warrior under command
Saiki Magaroku.
It would be a great honor for me
accompany you.
But leaving your master means
bring shame to my treasure.
Sagahani, you have served well.
Sir, it was I who shot Notanyudo.
That's how it is.
I couldn't refuse Ms. Teoha.
She said the saying is a step forward in
heaven, a step back to hell is a lie.
Paradise also awaits the meek. Nobody and
never told me this.
And for the first time I felt like I was breathing
much freer.
I confess honestly, I'm ready to give mine
life, just to protect the beautiful
lady of the castle.
Fine.
Do as you please.
What about you?
I will follow you to the ends of the earth,
Mr. It is my duty that I
performed to the end.
Fine. Then go ahead, sabura bitch.
Your box is full of all kinds of treasures.
Please try not to damage them.
Eat!
