00:00doesn't show up soon, it'll be a huge embarrassment for them. Asano's head will hang low. But only
00:06one samurai can fight in this competition, and neither of them is a samurai. But samurai wear
00:12masks. Nobody will know who the person fighting behind a mask is, whether it's Yasano or not.
00:18Everyone gets bored waiting. The shogun sends his servant to ask Asano, where is your warrior?
00:24But just then, Eiko's warrior arrives. His entrance isn't as grand as his enemies,
00:30but everyone breathes a sigh of relief, thinking, at least he's here. But that piece is quickly
00:36snatched away. Kira's warrior starts just beating the poor guy up. With one arrow shot, his mask
00:42falls off, and everyone is completely shocked. The shogun stops the fight and comes down.
00:47In one look, he recognizes that Kai is not a samurai. The shogun orders the other warrior to
00:53kill him. Mika gets completely freaked out and stands in front of Kai. Lord Asano apologizes
00:59for this and takes all the blame on himself. Asano says, if you want to punish someone,
01:04punish me. The shogun agrees and leaves the punishment up to the people. That same evening,
01:10in front of Lord Kira, the witch explains her plan for how she'll take over the entire Eiko domain
01:15from Lord Asano. She says that the time is perfect. Asano has a lot of pressure on him right now.
01:21She creates a spider with her magic. Guess how many eyes it had? Yep, that same six-eyed scary
01:27beast again. Now it makes sense where that first creature came from. The spider goes near his lips
01:33and bites Asano with a poisonous sting, making him sick. Asano wakes up and has a delusion that
01:40Kira is attacking Mika. He raises his sword to save his daughter. But this is all happening in his head.
01:46However, the attack he makes on Kira is visible to everyone. The samurai run to stop him and Kira
01:53pretends to be a victim. For this incident, Asano is sentenced to death because he attacked a guest.
01:59But because of his honor and status, he's given the chance to do it himself. Later, Asano tells
02:05Oishi that this is better than being hanged. Oishi says, this is wrong. What was your mistake?
02:12You were possessed. But Asano is only thinking about saving his family's honor now. After this,
02:18he goes to say goodbye to Mika. He tells Mika not to cry. Don't show them you're weak. Then he
02:23goes to
02:24a place with Oishi. Oishi cleans his sword for him. Kai is still recovering from his wounds. But everyone
02:30else is present and witnesses Asano's end. The samurai want to avenge his death. Oishi says that
02:37if they start fighting now, all the people in their domain will be in danger. Not just the warriors,
02:43but the farmers and villagers too. A warrior's first duty is to think about others. Mika tells the
02:49shogun that as Asano's only daughter, she will manage the whole area until she gets married. But she
02:55doesn't know that everything has already been decided. From now on, Lord Kira is the Lord of
03:01Eiko's domain. Mika is given one year to mourn. After that, she will be married to Kira. For Oishi
03:08and the rest of Asano's soldiers, the shogun announces that they are no longer samurai. Now
03:13they are ronin, which means samurai who have lost their master. He also makes it clear that they are not
03:19to seek revenge. As soon as Kira gains power, the first thing he does is kick the ronin out of
03:25his
03:25land. He says that if any ronin are found there, they will be killed. Mika is super sad to hear
03:31this,
03:32and things aren't over yet. Kai is brought there, dragged by a rope. Kira tells his future wife to
03:37look at him one last time, because she'll never see him again. Then he calls one of his men and
03:42asks,
03:43what should we do with Oishi? He doesn't trust Oishi at all, so he has him thrown in jail.
03:48He stays there for a whole year. On a day with heavy rain, he's dragged out and left with his
03:54weak body. His wife and son run to him. They give him warm food. His wife tells him,
