00:00The End
00:00The End
00:00The End
00:13Yamato, Year 57, Spring
00:15After moving to Osaka to fulfill the promise he made to his late wife Saki, Aoterimisumi meets Yoshitsune Asama, another
00:22young man aspiring to pass Tor Ryuman.
00:26Mitsuhide Ryuman, the Borderland General. The objective of his test was this.
00:32You must make my knees touch the ground to pass this exam. That's all.
00:38As applicants failed one by one, Aoterimisumi and Yoshitsune had been quietly observing, hoping a worthy challenger would appear. Then...
00:46Huh?
00:50Ryuman Borderland General, your legs are mine.
01:00Ryuman Borderlands
01:01Or Maria
01:02Or Maria
01:03Or Maria
01:04Or Maria
01:04Or Maria
02:37Oh dear boy, you tried to slash my legs thinking that would fail me.
02:41Quite an outrageous gamble.
02:43But I respect your courage.
02:44But still, naive.
02:48Don't you mean amazing?
02:57You pass.
03:02Hey, he tried chopping that guy's legs off and he passed!
03:06And he kicked Borderland General Riamon without a second thought!
03:09Is he crazy or what?
03:12Hey, you.
03:13That was a pretty impressive kick.
03:16Your name?
03:19First of all, though it was part of the exam, I apologize for my rudeness and deep disrespect.
03:25Also, I'd like to express my gratitude.
03:28My name is Asama.
03:31Yoshitsune Asama.
03:33Asama?
03:34Yeah!
03:34I presume that I'm a thief!
03:37Ridiculous.
03:38If one person criticizes, they all do.
03:40And if someone's impressed, they start fawning like little fanboys.
03:43I hate that weasley crap.
03:46Go ahead.
03:47Spend your whole lives chasing my back.
03:50Never gonna happen.
03:52Right.
03:53You see me?
03:54You think you're gonna change the world someday?
03:57No.
03:57It was always going to be me.
03:59Hey man, your shoes are untied.
04:01Look!
04:01Oh, you're right.
04:06What?
04:07Now what's with the thumbs up all calm and casual like that?
04:11Stop messing with my head, you bumpkin!
04:29I hope you will accept this offering, sir.
04:35What?
04:36He brought a gift?
04:38What a suck-up!
04:39If I gotta suck up around here to get a head, so be it.
04:43Yeah, he really did say that.
04:45But I don't think getting a head's even the reason.
04:47I think he's just a born brown noser!
04:51Tacky.
04:54What is this?
04:56A revision of our agricultural policy so we don't lose the war, sir.
05:00Huh?
05:01Huh?
05:02There's a policy?
05:03And he wants to revise it?
05:07Kaku!
05:08Coming!
05:12You mean this is...
05:14Misumi?
05:15What on earth have you done?
05:17The new agricultural policy's goal is raising productivity in the borderlands, and to enhance
05:22regular soldiers.
05:23Out of the total number of Yamato soldiers, 360,000, the number of standard soldiers in
05:28the borderlands do not reach even one-fifth of this number.
05:30Even if you combine the three goon, Aichi, Fukui, and Shiga, the borderlands don't have enough
05:34agricultural productivity to enhance these soldiers.
05:36If there are fewer of them, then during wartime, more soldiers will have to come from rural areas.
05:40This is costly.
05:41Thus, we have the soldiers cultivate the deserted farmland in the borderlands to improve its
05:44productivity.
05:45The three goons have rich arable land that's suitable for farming.
05:48Therefore, we would have to shut down the fields around Osaka and reroute the water supply,
05:52which will flow directly to the borderlands.
05:54We put 50,000 soldiers across the three goon and have them handle all the farming with one
06:00detail that makes it all work.
06:01We have one-fifth take breaks in turn, at the same time having 40,000 constantly farming
06:06and positioned for defense.
06:07If calculations are correct and we have a surplus of water, we can anticipate a harvest five
06:11times greater than the current one.
06:12Even factoring in natural disasters and miscellaneous costs, we would still be able to provide 1,500,000
06:18tons of grain to the army.
06:19And after three years, we would be able to stock in the borderlands 4,500,000 tons.
06:24This would be five years worth of food for an army of 100,000.
06:26If war is inevitable, we will be so well stocked, no one can defeat us.
06:34Impressive.
06:36That was truly splendid.
06:39But, you still haven't told me how you will knock me to my knees.
06:44Well, sir, I admit that what you require, I simply cannot do.
06:49What?
06:52Why is that?
06:53Well, because there's no conceivable way I can pass this test.
06:57I don't have great combat skills like Mr. Tsuni does.
07:01So I'd only waste your time.
07:02Well then, why did you bring this?
07:05Well, it's an idea I had, sir.
07:07Um, actually it's a proposal that I wrote to revise our agricultural policy.
07:12You see, I was going to give it to you if I passed the test, but I didn't, so it's
07:16yours now.
07:17As a matter of fact, I still don't know your name.
07:19If you leave, you receive no credit for this achievement.
07:23You understand?
07:24Of course.
07:25Hmm.
07:30You have passed.
07:35Now, your name?
07:38Misumi.
07:39Aoteru.
07:41Exam complete!
07:45Thank you all for showing up today.
07:47If you did not perform to your highest ability,
07:50and did not pass through what we call Toriyomon,
07:53then come back again.
07:55Aside from when I'm away for combat,
07:57you'll always find me here.
07:59Thanks, and good luck to you, gentlemen.
08:02I can't wait to try again!
08:03I'm going to pass for sure next time!
08:05I just know I will!
08:10One with martial arts skill,
08:12and one with wisdom.
08:14Incredible that in only ten minutes,
08:15we've already encountered two boys with such potential.
08:19Yoshitsune Asama.
08:20He's more confident than anyone I've ever seen.
08:23He's still fairly rough around the edges, of course.
08:26But if he's humble and works hard,
08:28he just might become the one to lead Yamato someday.
08:31Mm-hmm.
08:33On the other hand,
08:33we have Aoteru Misumi.
08:35We've seen flashes of ambition in him.
08:38Yet he seems totally uninterested in fame.
08:41He's an interesting fellow.
08:43That sudden past didn't faze him.
08:45As if he believed he could get you to kneel down yourself,
08:48Mr. Ryuman.
08:48We should keep an eye on him.
08:51Indeed.
08:51They both have quite a bright future ahead.
08:55Perhaps he planned that,
08:57to have me drop to my knee myself.
08:59No, no, no.
09:05Could that really be it?
09:10Yamato, year 57.
09:12Spring.
09:12On this day,
09:14Aoteru succeeded in Toruimon.
09:15No one yet knows about the tumultuous shift of the era that lies ahead.
09:20It will be massive.
09:23After swallowing everything, enemy and ally,
09:27the great cause and betrayal,
09:28will the new world be one of peace or turmoil?
09:34Aoteru Misumi,
09:35the legend in which he is known as a genius strategist,
09:39begins now.
09:48Yamato, year 59.
09:50Winter, Osaka.
09:52Just when it was nearing three years since Aoteru had succeeded in the Toruimon.
09:57His majesty, the emperor of Yamato.
10:12Yamato!
10:13Now bow!
10:15His majesty, the emperor of Yamato!
10:17Banzai!
10:18Banzai!
10:21One Banzai!
10:23Banzai!
10:25Banzai!
10:26Banzai!
10:47Banzai!
10:48Biological imperative.
10:49It simply can't be helped.
10:51I mean to say that it can't be helped.
10:55Jeez.
10:56He's almost as scary as Lord Tyra is.
11:07UUUUGH!
11:09TOOHUGH!
11:13Oop.
11:15Oop.
11:16BANG!
11:18Right.
11:19Hmm.
11:20Shall we get started?
11:21Now.
11:22We have less than 30 minutes.
11:23Sitting cross-legged in front of his majesty?
11:26How could he be so insolent?
11:31So, Lord Tyra,
11:33I think you're supposed to sit here next to me.
11:35So maybe you should just, well...
11:38Hmm?
11:39Ah!
11:39Oh, no, no, please, sorry.
11:40Sit wherever you want.
11:45Permission to address the throne.
11:49Ryuman Borderland General,
11:51Permission is granted.
11:55Your magnificent majesty,
11:57most beloved and revered Emperor of Yamato.
12:00Due to our farmer's soldiers' policy of the last three years,
12:03we've built an army 100,000 strong across the three Borderland guns.
12:07A hundred thousand?
12:08What?
12:09It couldn't be!
12:09I can't believe the policy actually worked.
12:12Yes, everybody was sure it would fail.
12:15We were finally able to transfer the former Buo soldiers who bravely surrendered in the recent Battle of Nagashino to
12:22the Borderlands.
12:23I know they will fight ferociously for us on the battlefield.
12:28This bald jerk.
12:29Right, right, that's very good.
12:31No, that's amazing.
12:33I don't really get it, but everyone likes compliments.
12:36Your majesty, the Emperor of Yamato.
12:39This policy Ryuman enacted and carried out is incredible.
12:43And you haven't a clue why, do you?
12:45Is he psychic?
12:47Ryuman's great accomplishment was gracefully revising the long-standing policy of commoner farmers to military farmers.
12:54Three years ago, the number of standard soldiers in the Borderlands were 33,000 in Aichi, 10,000 in Shiga,
13:01and 15,000 in Fukui, totaling 58,000.
13:06He increased this to 100,000 in three years, so that means how many times more?
13:10Uh, a little help here?
13:131.7 times.
13:15With my humble but educated opinion, that's the kind of achievement that deserves a governorship and generous rewards.
13:22And yet, you offer hollow praise and grant neither rank nor reward.
13:27Wouldn't you call that incompetence ill-fitting of a ruler, or am I wrong?
13:34He's actually...
13:36Humiliated the Emperor!
13:39Uh, yes, Lord Tyra is correct.
13:42Clearly I've made a mistake.
13:43I'm sorry, Ryuman.
13:45I'll give you your medals, and as for your rank, I'll send you an Imperial Edict later.
13:49Do you accept my offer?
13:52Indeed, Your Magnificent Majesty.
13:54I joyfully accept.
13:56Alright, that's great.
13:58So be it!
14:02Not only did he sit before the Emperor, he dared to embarrass the Emperor at the Imperial Council.
14:08Lord, Tyra, you scheming opportunist.
14:10You're not aiming for even higher status, are you?
14:14I wonder if Mr. Ryuman is alright.
14:17Imperial Council's not like war.
14:20He'll be fine.
14:21Mr. Nagamine, the point I'm making is, that Fatso looks clearly poised to make another power grab soon.
14:29Ah, so denky Tyra.
14:31The Emperor's Empress is the Fatso's daughter.
14:34Every power position in Yamato is dominated by the Tyra family in the rural areas.
14:39And 22 years ago, the Emperor was poisoned to death.
14:42I think we can say that he's been planning for this.
14:45Fair point.
14:48Ah, Mr. Sugo.
14:50Easy on those sugar cubes.
14:52When your wife gives you hell for it, don't come crying to me.
14:55For that chubby, lying snake, Ryuman and the General's forces are up to now the most obtrusive figures among officials
15:03that don't side with the Tyras.
15:05I bet he's also not too happy about this.
15:08That the farmer-soldier's policy is producing results, which is unfortunate.
15:17So, uh, Ryuman, is that all for your address to the throne?
15:21One more item.
15:23In the past few years, the climate has been getting steadily colder.
15:27According to an undercover secret official we sent into Say, which has been in a state of tension with us,
15:32In the northern nation of Say, many subjects are falling into a food shortage and facing extreme poverty.
15:38The Say government's countermeasures have been failing repeatedly,
15:41and a series of anti-government riots are occurring all over the nation.
15:46Therefore, I consider it nearly impossible for the Say army to initiate moving west toward Yamato.
15:52So, so in other words, you're saying the best time for our nation to push for conquest of Say would
15:58be right now?
15:59That is correct.
16:01Our nation could take advantage of this opportunity and commence a northern expedition.
16:05However, we can expect that such an endeavor in this extreme cold would be difficult,
16:10even with our surplus of food and soldiers.
16:13Oh! Well, how about we wait until the spring starts and make a full-blown attack then?
16:17Or maintain the status quo!
16:19There is one matter of particular concern.
16:23Uh, what's that?
16:26The calculated rise of a talented dictator.
16:30Did, did you say dictator?
16:35Yes, one who's been waiting in the wings to incite revolution under these exact circumstances,
16:41a phenomenon that is repeated many times throughout history.
16:45In fact, the likelihood of a dictator agitating the already dissatisfied masses
16:50and invading Yamato is quite high.
16:53To counteract, it would be wise and proactive
16:55to sign a ceasefire agreement with Say as soon as possible
16:58with intermittent diplomatic and trade exchanges.
17:03You seem devoid of fortitude, Ryuman.
17:06We do not regard war lightly.
17:08It's a matter of life and death with the very existence of our nation at stake.
17:13Therefore, as Borderland General, I think we should carefully...
17:16Oh, yeah.
17:17You've made it perfectly clear that you're a coward.
17:20Please, stop worrying.
17:23The thing with Say won't be a problem, so relax.
17:26And why should I do that?
17:28Well, because...
17:29We already sent the demand of unconditional surrender to Say some time ago.
17:34They sent the demand of unconditional surrender?
17:38What was that, Lord Tyra?
17:39You never told me about this!
17:41I told you just now.
17:43Uh, uh, yeah.
17:46A demand to surrender could very well anger Say.
17:49I believe it would serve us better
17:51to send a messenger there immediately
17:52to maintain the current truce for now.
17:59Your cowardice is just embarrassing, Ryuman.
18:02Our nation fought many wars over time,
18:05and we've won them all.
18:06Asking for a truce with a weak little nation like Say
18:09would be pathetic.
18:11They'll raise the white flag.
18:13No question.
18:19Please, reconsider.
18:42Oh, too bad.
18:44Now get out of my side, Ryuman.
18:47Your whining makes me sick.
18:48Bye-bye now.
18:52Frustrate yourself.
18:53Nobody cares.
18:55All right.
18:55Who's next?
18:57Permission to address the throne?
19:00Yes, Grand Commander.
19:01We permit your address.
19:02Now see here, Lord Tyra.
19:04A demand of surrender requires we use the Imperial Seal.
19:07And using the Imperial Seal without His Majesty's permission is a felony, sir.
19:12I address the throne.
19:14Grand Archivist Nakamoto, we permit your address-
19:26All of which describe a panoply of unjust actions this man has taken.
19:30Like executions, imprisonments, and tax collections.
19:33This is a clear and blatant abuse of power.
19:36I say we impose severe punishment on Lord Tyra Post-
19:39Yes, that's right.
19:40Such a corrupt man should never hold so much power.
19:42Just resign now!
19:43Death penalty!
19:45Death penalty!
19:46Death penalty!
19:48Death penalty!
19:49Death penalty!
19:49Death penalty!
19:56Yes, death penalty.
19:58As you wish then.
20:14Death penalty!
20:15Your Majesty, Emperor of Yamato.
20:19I deeply apologize for letting armed soldiers enter the palace and for the unfortunate bloodshed
20:24that ensued.
20:26But they had committed the unforgivable crime of insulting me and hurting my feelings.
20:31I beg your forgiveness and will cease to facilitating some replacements immediately.
20:36Oh no, it's okay!
20:37I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you!
20:38I gotta go lie down now, and do I really have to pee?
20:42Oh, oh, I might not make it in time!
20:45Too late.
20:46I definitely peed myself.
20:48With this, the council is adjourned!
20:52Oh, oh my god!
20:55Oh my god!
20:58Oh my god!
20:58Come on, come on!
21:06Are you going to spend the rest of your life vowing like that?
21:10I don't know.
21:11Fine, have it your way.
21:14Calculate our defense expenses for after safe surrenders.
21:17You have three days!
21:20Oh, and don't worry yourself. I won't be rising any further in the ranks.
21:27At least for now.
21:37The only one who can challenge that blob is Mr. Ryuman.
21:41Therefore, we must give him our unwavering support.
21:45I am good with that.
21:46On this day, Otero and other general members of the Borderland General's Troop received unofficial notices.
21:54Yoshitsune Osama, we praise your achievement in the subjugation of bandits during the attack on the 31st Arsenal,
22:01and hereby designate you Assistant Arsenal Officer.
22:05Yes! Promoted. About time.
22:09Your proposal for revising agricultural policy is outstanding, and we designate you Inspector of the Borderland General's Forces.
22:16Otero Misumi, do you humbly accept this honor?
22:20Yes!
22:28Uzensho, Sei. Jurisdiction of Ginsan Security Troop.
22:34Commander-in-Chief Wajima, we have recently been informed that President Azami just received a demand of unconditional surrender from
22:43Yamato.
22:43What? What? Surrender? That is insulting!
22:47I understand.
22:53Thank you for that.
23:39My name is
23:42Oh, it's so easy to do with your thoughts.
23:45If you don't believe in your eyes,
23:49let me believe in the end.
23:56I'll be honest with you.
24:00I'll be honest with you.
24:03I'll be honest with you.
24:06I'll be honest with you.
24:18I'll see you next time.
