00:00The Game of the Game of the Game of the Wings
00:12Year 60 of the Yamato Era, Spring.
00:15Sei's Commander-in-Chief Ogawajima conquered the Okwetsu area in Fukui via a surprise attack.
00:21Finding himself one step behind, Borderland General Mitsuhide Ryomon retreated to the Rei-hoku Castle in Fukui,
00:28where he assembled his forces.
00:30At the same time, Muton Nagao plotted to assassinate the Yamato Army Generals stationed in Kanazawa.
00:36However, thanks to the performance by Go-Sugo and Shiryu Nagamiya, Muton Nagao was killed in battle.
00:43The raid in Kanazawa ended in failure.
00:46Meanwhile, the main forces of the Sei Army continued their advance forward in hopes of killing General Ryomon.
00:54For Commander Ogawajima and General Mitsuhide Ryomon,
00:58The Showdown is set to begin.
01:02The Showdown is set to begin.
01:04To be clear.
01:30The Showdown is set to begin.
01:38Commander-in-Chief Fajima, sorry but we need to get going.
01:42Okay, thanks, Yaya Akichi.
01:43I'm on my way.
02:15I'm on my way.
02:33I'm on my way.
03:07I'm on my way.
03:25I'm on my way.
03:27I'm on my way.
03:30I'm on my way.
03:45I'm on my way.
03:55Thank you all for joining me here today.
03:58With the subjugation of Okuetsu, we've finally driven out those despicable Yamatoans.
04:03This land is no longer part of their regime.
04:05Its people are free.
04:08Its people are free.
04:08This is all thanks to you.
04:10You have fought with extraordinary passion.
04:12With your help, we have forged a new page in history and a brighter future.
04:18But I must beg your gracious hearts for forgiveness, because until this moment, I have failed to express just how
04:26truly grateful I am.
04:30Thank you so much for you.
04:40Our next step will be to depart from Okuetsu, our next step will be to depart from Okuetsu, to a
04:44showdown with Yamato's army.
04:47This battle will surely be a major one.
04:49The result of it will determine history for decades and centuries to come.
04:54We will not bow down to Yamatoans, no matter what, because you are stronger than that.
05:00For every single one of you, I will keep pushing forward no matter what it takes.
05:04However challenging the path, I will keep going, regardless of the tragedies that may be ahead.
05:10Just as my ancestors, father and friends have done, I too make this oath.
05:15I will sacrifice my blood, sweat and soul to ensure a victory through this decisive battle.
05:35Commander Wajima, according to our intel, after arriving in Fukui, Ryomon persuaded its governor.
05:42He is now in the process of collecting more horses and soldiers. He's directing them all to Reioku.
05:48Number of men?
05:49Roughly, 6,000 or so.
05:52So they intend to face us with a limited number of troops, do they?
05:56It's like they're jumping into the winter ocean naked.
05:59That said, our loss in Kanazawa's raid has left quite an impact.
06:03And we're going into battle much sooner than initially planned.
06:08I was the person who left Kanazawa under Mouton's command.
06:11I take full responsibility for that night.
06:15It's sad.
06:16What we lost during that raid was so incredibly precious.
06:22Gayakichi, we lost 2,000 soldiers during the battle in Okuatsu.
06:27And in the land we annexed, Yamato civilians are being massacred.
06:32But, in order to maintain morale, I don't dare discipline it.
06:37Despite that, here we are.
06:41As long as that man lives, there'll be no peace per se.
06:56After claiming Okuatsu, the Sei army left the Kuro Squad behind, and proceeded down the Kuzurya River with seven divisions
07:04to invade Sakai.
07:05Commander-in-Chief Wajima divided her army into two, using three divisions to block the bridges on the river, thus
07:12relegating Yamato's troops to Reihoku.
07:14The remaining four divisions occupy Sakai, claiming the now-empty Maruoka Castle and Awara Castle, allowing them to set up
07:22a front alongside the Daishoji River.
07:36This cut off the Yamato troops from their supply lines in the middle of returning from Kanazawa, leaving them isolated
07:43in Daishoji, which was Sei territory.
07:45Set up camp! We'll wait until all troops are gathered!
07:48Right!
07:54Due to the expedient manner in which Sei's army was able to invade, General Ryomon found himself in an impossible
08:00situation.
08:01With his main camp set in Reihoku, Fukui, he was greatly outnumbered.
08:07I don't get why you're hesitating.
08:09In Kanazawa, Okuetsu, the Saiyans are slaughtering soldiers and subjects.
08:13They are raping our women and young girls!
08:15Exactly! We must put an end to the brutality of all these Saiyans!
08:20Our only option is to send our troops into a showdown at Kuzurya River!
08:23Even if we wanted to, we don't have the manpower to pull it off!
08:27The troops returning from Kanazawa are unable to move either, so we need a feasible plan!
08:32Quality over quantity!
08:33Do you doubt the elite soldiers of Yamato? We can handle it!
08:38No?
08:38Huh?
08:39There will be no showdown.
08:41Huh?
08:42Seriously? Then why gather all the troops here?
08:45I mean, we lost Sakai because of that call!
08:47He has a point, sir. Please explain it!
08:50There is a single reason I gathered our troops to Reihoku.
08:58It'll be a blockade.
09:00That's what we use to wait for reinforcements!
09:02Wait! Do you intend to ask his majesty for help?
09:05We can't do that! We can't!
09:07If his majesty does help, it's certain that Lord Tyra of Internal Affairs will be the one leading those troops!
09:13Even if we defeat the Saiyans army, Tyra will take over your military command!
09:17You could lose your life, General!
09:18Please reconsider!
09:19Yes, sir!
09:20We must not!
09:21We must not!
09:22We must not!
09:22We must not!
09:22We must not!
09:22We must not!
09:23We must not!
09:23We must not!
09:23We must not!
09:23We must not!
09:23We must not!
09:23We must not!
09:24We must not!
09:25We must not!
09:46We must not!
09:50them out in the open, shall we?
09:52I won't hold back then. I've come to a conclusion regarding Sei's actions. The night attack
09:57in Kanazawa, by all accounts that was an unexpected incident for them. Nonetheless, our army had
10:04to see an injured right Lieutenant General Sugo lead the battlefront. Additionally, the
10:0930,000 odd troops led by Left Lieutenant General Nagamine have had their supply line cut off
10:14and are now isolated. Still, there is some luck within this misfortune. The proposal
10:18for revision of agricultural policy. Thanks to that, there's plenty of food to take care
10:23of our military. Conversely though, the enemy forces are in an agitated state of mind. The
10:30enemy commander is driven by thoughts of revenge.
10:32That's true. The force of Sei's invasion is only growing stronger. With a misplaced surprise
10:39attack and standard tactics, there will be increased damage for nothing.
10:43Whatever the case, Mr. Ryuman, I think it's time we place a bet on that scheme.
10:49Then, are you implying that they are on the move as well?
10:55Chief Clerk Moriyama has made up his mind. Though he was momentarily enthralled by the enemy
11:01commander, Moriyama remains a skillful retainer who has supported you for 15 years. I am certain
11:07that he will fulfill his duty. As for everything that's left, we bet it all on the boy.
11:13Oh, Teru is suming.
11:15Yes. If he's able to recognize my intentions,
11:19then this battle will catch all the fish with one net.
11:25I understand. You have my permission to proceed. Unfortunately, if the Sei army does happen to
11:33attack us, this scheme of ours will quickly turn to naught, which means of course that we won't be
11:39able to protect our people. Kaku, take care of the castle. I take it you're going somewhere?
11:47Have someone prepare my tea basket and kimono. I'm off to buy us time at Kuzuryu River.
11:56You are more well-versed in military affairs than anyone on the enemy forces, sir.
12:01Thus, once you are in motion, you are not perplexed. Once you are in action, you are not forced.
12:07If the enemy recognizes what the terrain, time, or weather means to military affairs, victory will
12:13not waver. However, General, if the enemy commander is not wise, well then, it's possible you'll
12:21lose much more than an eye this time around. I'm determined to never regret going out for
12:27battle. But even if it should cost you, your life... Everybody dies. It's not something we
12:33should fear. What's more frightening is not fulfilling this life we were given.
12:40Right, stand by for good news.
12:53It seems the east wind is blowing.
12:59General Ryuman, please be safe.
13:05According to one of our spies, all the Yamato army is doing is drawing water into the moat and
13:10strengthening their barriers. They're not showing any sign of advancing. Ryuman's actions
13:14are rather telling.
13:15A blockade.
13:25Disappointing.
13:27Father, we have prospects for conquering Sakai. We're ready to go when you are.
13:34Commander Wajima, we should take Reihoku Castle tonight, before the reinforcement troops for
13:39Yamato have a chance to arrive.
13:42Urgent report! Their general's taking up position! He's at the Kazurio River!
13:47He what? Our intel was wrong? How many soldiers?
13:50Actually, he is completely alone!
13:52He's alone? He's alone? But why?
13:57He's alone? He's alone? But why?
14:26Uh... Stop it! Don't bow back, idiot!
14:29Sorry! Got carried away!
14:33So that's Mitsuhide Ryuman.
14:41What's he doing? It's like he doesn't even realize how cold it is.
14:45Honestly, I can't see anything in this light. Pretty sure it's a tea ceremony.
14:58He dumped it. But why?
15:00I don't know. Isn't that just hot water?
15:03My eyes aren't great in daylight, much less at night time.
15:07That's one of the Temaya procedures. The cleansing of the tea whisk. I must say the soldier who reported he'd
15:13taken up position had it right.
15:15To wait for us here on this bridge, unarmed and performing a tea ceremony.
15:20Impressive indeed. And quite difficult to measure.
15:24Tell me what you see, Yaya Kichi.
15:26I read a Japanese-era manga called Sangokushi. It was based heavily on Chinese history. If this were a manga,
15:33I'd say it's a trap set by Ryuman. I'm trying to say be careful. Because what you see isn't what
15:40we need to worry about.
15:41Ah yes, the plan of the empty fort. It was in Heiho's Sanjuruke, right?
15:46You lure in the enemy. Allow them into your territory, then provoke them in hopes of making them retreat. It
15:53is a cunning plan. It was said to have been a favorite of Zugliang and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
15:59Yes. That said, while those are both famous tales, their strategies were never authenticated.
16:05He's on a bridge with nowhere to hide. But there's the poor visibility of the other side of the river
16:10to consider. He could be hiding troops in the dark, plotting for a surprise attack.
16:15The moment we step foot on that bridge, it'll be our end. Our side would likely suffer devastating damage.
16:22So is it a shallow, paper-thin plan? Or a last stand that he's willing to risk mutual death for?
16:29Factoring in the darkness of the night and the wide river, it could go either way.
16:34But the one thing I know for sure, the plan of the empty fort is a desperate act one takes
16:39when nothing else can be done, in hopes of escaping from a predicament.
16:44Mitsuhide Ryuman is a smart man, but still a man all the same.
16:48I don't think so.
16:50I don't think so.
16:52I don't think so.
16:54I don't think so.
16:56I don't think so.
16:56All right. Relay my command to the army. We will now proceed forward.
17:03Yes, understood, Commander.
17:20I don't think so.
17:33We're close enough to him now to release a volley of arrows.
17:36That said, he's one man making tea.
17:39If you allow someone else to kill Mitsuhide Ryumon, the shogun of Yamato,
17:43your people might think you're fainthearted, and it could ruin your reputation as a commander.
17:49Our nation is built on your authority, Commander-in-Chief.
17:53So please, take down Ryumon with your own two hands.
17:57You must demonstrate your authority.
17:59Okay, Yayakichi. I trust your judgment.
18:04It's time to move the barriers. I will face the dragon.
18:16Little Tora, I pray for your safety.
18:18Maybe, if you kill Ryumon, then your father's death will be avenged as well.
18:44The plan of the empty fort. It's psychological warfare.
18:48There, I will expose that mind of yours.
19:11Apologize to Daddy in the afterlife.
19:17Woah, woah, woah!
19:20Woah, woah, woah!
19:58He's been facing this army.
20:00Riamond's etiquette isn't swayed by distraction.
20:03It's rational and beautiful.
20:04The reason he can stay so composed regardless of being shot by an arrow or engulfed by flames
20:09is because in the darkness they have soldiers lying in ambush.
20:13It's the only thing that makes sense.
20:15They'll launch a surprise attack from the foot of the bridge or use this opening to ambush our main camp.
20:20Riamond's death or the end of his ceremony is the cue for launching the surprise attack.
20:24We must retreat now, otherwise I will not be able to protect our people.
20:28Retreat! We must retreat swiftly!
20:43I see. So they retreated.
20:46Good.
20:50Fortune is in leftover tea.
20:54Very well.
20:57The next move belongs to you.
21:00I wonder how you will persuade the heavens.
21:08Huh? Wait, you're telling me to leave Osaka?
21:11Yes. Prepare quickly.
21:14True generic side part strikes again!
21:17How dare he interrupt me with this unexpected curveball!
21:20You're going to be a messenger, Mr. Tsune.
21:22I need you to go to Fukui alone.
21:23So, your weapons, your horse and food, and whatever else you need,
21:28make sure they're prepared and ready so you can leave Osaka as soon as I get back, okay?
21:33Hey, hold on!
21:34This makes no sense!
21:36And where do you think you're going?
21:38To an audience with the Emperor.
21:40I'll give you a second.
21:45You'll be able to do it again.
21:46I'll give you a second.
21:46I'll give you a second.
21:46I'll give you a second.
21:47After all, I'm going to give you a second.
21:48Year's 60 of the Yamato era.
21:50Spring.
21:51The Sei army commenced their western expedition, occupying Okwatsu and Sakai.
21:56They made Reihoku their next target for attack, and advanced.
21:59Faced with an unprecedented crisis, Mitsuhide Ryuman, the Borderlands General,
22:04played an unconventional strategy.
22:06With the heavens and earth on his side, he bears their fate on his back.
22:10Panic-stricken by his dignified posture, Sei's commander, Ogawajima, pulled her army back in fear of an ambush.
22:17Thus, the people of Fukui were protected.
22:19Nevertheless, they knew that, too, was only a temporary solution.
22:27Ryomon and Kaku left the future of their people and the nation to one eloquent young man.
22:32It was none other than Aotearo Uesumi himself.
22:36At the same time, Sei was also coming to a major crossroads that would affect the destiny of their nation.
22:44Some were beginning to harbor a sense of mistrust in Ogawajima's command.
22:48So, for the first time ever, Oga's aptitude as commander-in-chief was about to be questioned.
23:14Aotearo Uesumi
