A heroic death.
Courageous death in combat.
A graceful suicide.
Honorable suicide.
To fight and die in battle is the greatest honor for a warrior.
A warrior’s honor is earned only through battle and death.
This is the tale of a hero who lived through such a raging age
Takauji Ashikaga is known for being a great hero in this time,
in spectacular fashion.
but the protagonist of our story...
One known as Takauji Ashikaga.
...is someone else.
Or so you might think.
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
It's time to practice your archery!
It’s time for your archery practice.
You're not going anywhere, Lord Tokiyuki!
There’s nowhere for you to run, Lord Tokiyuki!
Oh, sorry!
Oh, sorry.
He's so nimble...
Oh, whoa! Whoa!
Fool! This is no time to admire his skills!
- Oh! My goodness, he’s nimble! - Huh?
It's dangerous up there, Lord Tokiyuki!
It’s not the time to be impressed, you idiot!
Please come down!
You’ll slip and fall, Lord Tokiyuki!
You'll get hurt!
Please come down. Please!
Somebody stop him!
Are you trying to get hurt?
What's the commotion here?!
Someone stop him!
Lord Ashikaga is about to depart!
What is this commotion?
Well... Lord Tokiyuki...
We’re in the middle of Lord Ashikaga’s send-off.
What about Young Master?
Huh?
He's so quick on his feet!
That's enough! Dismissed!
But...
But...
Sorry, let me through.
i-it’s Lord Tokiyuki. He’s, uh--
My...
What about the Young Lord?
You're always so good at hide-and-seek, Young Master.
Uh... Huh? How did he...
L-Lord Takauji?
What an escape artist.
I, Takauji Ashikaga,
Enough. You’re dismissed.
will go to the capital,
But I... I...
to quell the rebellion of Emperor Go-Daigo's predecessors.
Excuse me, may I pass?
I'd love for you, the future lord of Hojo Clan,
Just like I remember.
to witness my loyalty to the clan.
You’re still an expert at hide-and-seek, my young lord.
That's reassuring.
L-Lord Takauji.
I shall pray for the prosperity of Kamakura and the warriors,
Takauji Ashikaga.
and also for your success.
Today, I depart for Kyo to quell the former Emperor Godaigo’s uprising.
Well, then.
I wish to prove my allegiance to you, our future leader, and the Hojo clan.
- Thanks for waiting. - Sir.
I... I put my trust in you.
Don't be so nervous around Ashikaga.
May the gods bestow prosperity upon us,
Kiyoko?
for Kamakura and our families.
You're the heir to the shogunate.
Well...
You'll be the one giving orders to him someday.
It’s time to go.
You're also my future husband, so get a grip.
I don't remember being engaged to you...
Lord Tokiyuki!
Where did he go?
Maybe he's hiding over there?
Sorry, Kiyoko!
See you later!
Oh, my.
Good grief...
All he's good at is running and hiding.
He's just so different from Takauji, even though he's a fellow warrior.
Even if he were to succeed the shogunate,
he'd just be a puppet king like his father.
Indeed, Sir Takatoki.
Then leave this matter to us.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, come on, Father.
You don’t have to be nervous over Ashikaga.
Even a puppet can live a life of luxury.
Kiyoko.
Lord Tokiyuki is talentless and only good at running,
You’re the rightful heir of the shogunate.
but he's kind.
That means one day soon, you’ll be giving him orders.
He'd make for a good husband of a prominent family!
And don’t forget the best part. I’m going to be your betrothed. Won’t that be lovely?
I can't find him...
Yeah, I don’t remember agreeing to that.
If he does his best to hide, it's out of my hands.
- Mmm. - Lord Tokiyuki!
The other day, he hid in the armor box for two whole days. It became a commotion!
Where did he run off to?
If he'd go that far, wouldn't it be easier for him to practice?
He must be around here somewhere.
Well, although nominal, he is the successor to the shogunate.
Gotta go, Kiyoko.
He's just so lazy and cowardly, nothing goes through his head.
Catch you later!
And he’s gone.
No surprise there.
The only things that boy is good at are running away and hiding.
They’re both samurai, but Lord Tokiyuki is nothing like Takauji.
And while it’s true that he’ll inherit the shogunate,
he’ll be nothing more than a puppet ruler like his father.
Yeah, Lord Takatoki?
Don’t worry, my lord. We have everything under control.
’Kay.
What’s wrong with being a puppet ruler, Father?
They still get to lead lavish lives.
Sure, Lord Tokiyuki lacks talent and strength of will,
but he is kind.
The perfect husband
for someone from such a distinguished house as myself!
He’s nowhere to be found.
We’re powerless when he takes hiding seriously.
Remember the nightmare he gave us
when he hid inside a chest of armor for two full days?
Going through all that trouble,
just to avoid doing his training?
One day, he’ll be the successor to the shogunate,
even if it’s just in name.
His cowardice and idleness set a bad example for the people.
Tokiyuki.
Tokiyuki.
Father is sickly and unmotivated.
Father is frail and lacks the conviction to rule.
You should really succeed to the throne already.
You’ll do him a favor by taking over and soon.
Wait, shouldn't you be first in line for succession?
No. I am not the firstborn. You are.
No way.
Not a chance, brother.
If I, the concubine's son, succeeded, it would be a source of strife.
It would disturb the peace if the son of a concubine were to be appointed.
It's in our blood to run away from anything we don't like,
It’s in our blood to run away as fast as we can
fair and square.
from anything we don’t like.
Why are you so proud?
That’s not something to be proud of.
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Found you!
There you are, finally!
All right, let's go practice archery!
You have to go to archery practice now!
Now!
Let’s go!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on, come on, come on!
You’re coming with us!
Hold on to this, Brother.
Big brother, if you please.
Huh? Sure...
Uh... Oh.
Tokiyuki!
- Tokiyuki! - Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Please stop!
Please stop running!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Young Master!
Oh.
Gosh!
My lord!
Young Master!
My lord!
I love Kamakura.
Y... Young Lord!
I love seeing the smiles on people's faces when they live in peace.
I like this city. Kamakura.
I don't need status or glory.
And I love to see the people smiling as they live in peace.
All I'd need is to live peacefully in this town.
I don’t need status or honor.
Call me lazy or a coward.
Just living in this city is enough for me.
As a puppet, I have no use for civil and military power.
Lazily, cowardly and happy as a clam.
That is not laziness or cowardice.
I mean, why would a mere puppet like me need the power of pen and sword?
It is a fragment of a monster within you.
You are not lazy, nor are you a coward.
So spoke my father.
Those aspects are only a part of the monster asleep within you.
At least that is what my father says.
Who are you?
Who are you?
Father?
Who’s your father?
I see you're as good at running away as they say!
You are quite the elusive boy. The rumors are true.
What in tarnation?!
W-What? Who’s this? Where did you come from? What’s going on?
Nice to meet you!
Honored to make your acquaintance.
My name is Yorishige Suwa, a priest of the Shinano province!
I am the Shinto priest of Shinano Province.
A priest of Shinano? Wait, when did you climb here?
My name is Yorishige Suwa.
I've been here from the beginning! I knew you would be climbing this tree!
A Shinto priest from Shinano?
You're emitting quite a bright light...
Wait, when did you climb up here?
Oh, my apologies!
Oh, I’ve been up here for a while.
Because of the holiness of my nature, my divine power inevitably leaks out!
I had a glimpse of the future and saw you climbing this tree.
I'll tone it down.
Do you know you have an incredible aura around your head?
I have been asked to pray for the protection
Sorry if it’s blinding you!
of Kamakura against its enemies.
I was born with an innate sacred power,
I have come to inform your father that it has been completed.
and I just can’t stop the flow sometimes!
She is Shizuku. She's excellent in secret arts and clerical work,
Let me dim it down.
so I'm allowing her to assist me.
I came here to pray for Kamakura.
He's so suspicious... How could he tell I'd climb this tree?
To keep it safe and protected from its enemies.
Father can see the future with his divine power.
My prayers are done. And now, I am on my way to report this to your father.
Although, he sucks at praying.
This is my assistant Shizuku.
Shizuku, no need to say the latter.
She excels at secret arts and general affairs,
If you're in doubt, have a look for yourself!
so I have her help me out.
I can see it, Lord Tokiyuki...
What a suspicious man.
In the future, you...
How could he possibly have known that I would be up here?
You... like that...
Father possesses the gift of seeing into the future.
Oh, wait...
His prayers, however, are a sham.
If I had to say... Or maybe...
Shizuku, that last part, no need.
If you do, you'll surely be happy...
Still doubt me? Let me demonstrate some more.
Hang on, everyone has their own definition of happiness...
Yes, I can see it clearly, Lord Tokiyuki,
Well, you're in good health, and as for...
the future tells me that you...
I guess whatever will be, will be?
Uh... Well...
What?!
It was clear as day...
You're just murmuring stuff!
No, no, that’s not right.
I can only figure out fragments of it!
Or it could be the opposite? Wait...
It wouldn't be fun if I knew everything in the first place!
Actually, it’s more like...
But I could see it all now!
This always happens...
In a double act, you'd play a straight man rather than a funny man.
He’ll live a happy life, but did I misinterpret that?
Whose fault is it, you funny soothsayer?!
Happy by whose standards though? And...
And I also saw two years into the future.
Who knows.
At the age of ten, you will be a hero who will shake the heavens.
It’s all more of a life lesson, right? And...
You'll become the master of the great war, feared by some and respected by others,
I-In that case, I-I...
and you could even change the future of the nation.
I’d say that everything will work out the way it’s meant to?
I can tell this much, since it's a lot...
Wait, what?
Oh, so quick!
Everything you said was totally vague!
Father, that was too much for him...
I can only see fragments, okay!
What a great crisis-sensing ability...
It would spoil all the fun if I was able to see everything!
That was close.
But now I see something quite clearly.
I don't have enough money in my pocket to give a fake spirit channeler.
If we were to be a comedy duo, you would be the straight man.
Yeah, because you’re prattling nonsense!
But I did see something in your future two years from now.
When you’re ten years old, you’ll be a hero.
You’ll be someone who shakes the very foundations of heaven.
Some will cower in fear before you,
while others will worship you. You will be a lord of war.
The fate of the country will be changed by your deeds.
This is all I can foretell so far.
Very powerful indeed, don’t you th...
Hmm? He’s almost over the horizon.
Oh, Father, you revealed too much at once.
Hmm. What an instinct for detecting danger.
Well, that was close.
I don’t get paid enough allowance to have to deal with a fraud shaman.
What a foolish man.
What a foolish man.
Even if he were to deceive me, he'd only gain superficial success.
Even if he had tricked me, there wouldn’t be anything in it for him.
Me, becoming a hero...
And yet he looked so serious when he called me a hero.
He looked serious when he said that...
Really?
To think someone like him could enter...
I can’t believe a guy like that was just out there, walking around.
For real...
Yeah, I know.
He was so suspicious.
Very suspicious.
Still...
But you know...
I understand a little of what this Suwa man said.
I think I understand what this Yorishige was talking about.
Your running skills are on a different level than me and Father.
Your elusiveness is not like mine or Father’s.
If the conditions are met,
-It’s on a different level. -Huh?
I feel like you can be a hero.
I think if there was an opportunity,
That's what I think.
you would definitely be a hero.
What's wrong?
Let’s just say I have a feeling.
Where did it go?
What the...
Maybe it got stuck in the tree?
What’s the matter?
We will now enter the capital to remove the rebel army.
The ball. It’s gone?
Blessings be upon us, O Great Bodhisattva Hachiman!
Maybe it got stuck in a tree?
Come forth, everyone!
We will now raid Kyo and crush the uprising.
Lord Viceroy!
God of War! Protect us with your divine strength!
I am here with a report, Ashikaga secretly contacted Emperor Go-Daigo!
Now forward!
They destroyed the shogunate forces in the capital!
Oh?
When the warriors heard of Takauji's fame, they gathered together.
Viceroy. Viceroy!
They say the Nitta army is swarming in rather quickly.
It’s Takauji!
Not only that, but the enemy also sent his son, Senjuō, to Yoshisada Nitta...
He and Emperor Godaigo have been communicating in secret!
And they're also sending troops to Kamakura!
Our entire army in Kyo has been annihilated.
You... Why did you betray--
Samurai have gathered upon hearing of Takauji’s valor.
I can hear a voice.
The Nitta Army has become an incredible force overnight!
Whose voice?
And Ashikaga’s son, Senjuo,
Who...
was entrusted to Yoshisada Nitta and appointed general.
Who will raise me to the top of the country?
Now the army is headed towards Kamakura.
Father...
Damn you. Why have you betrayed us?
I have been waiting for you, Lord Tokiyuki.
I hear a voice.
Who speaks to me?
Tell me,
who will guide me to be ruler above all?
That’s... Father...
We’ve been waiting for you, Lord Tokiyuki.
In his final moments,
In his final moments,
your father ordered me to help you escape,
your father gave me the order to help you escape.
because his son was too young to die.
He didn’t want your young life to be wasted.
From now on, I will shelter you in my territory,
You are going to come and stay with me,
which is Suwa, Shinano.
in my territory of Suwa in Shinano.
Yorishige Suwa...
Yorishige Suwa...
What are you doing here?
How come you’re here?
There's no time.
Time is against us.
Over here.
Come.
My divine eye saw the possibility of this happening.
My divining eyes showed me the future. I foresaw this tragedy.
We had prepared ourselves for any eventuality.
We prepared ourselves in case this event would come to pass.
We have our men and horses in the hills ahead.
Once we cross the hill,
Let's head there now.
we’ll find my men and horses hidden there.
No...
We must hurry.
I'll just cut my stomach...
No.
like Father and the rest.
I will end my life like my father and our clan did.
Not happening.
I won’t allow it.
If you die, what will be the future of Japan?
If I let you die here with them, what would happen to the fate of Japan?
Who cares about that?
What do you mean?
Well, that's...
You know, Young Lord, it will...
It'll become... That...
That’s a good question. What exactly do I tell the boy?
I have a hunch, but I can't just decide for myself...
I think that...
If he died, the effect would...
But who am I to decide this?
While the effect on... It wouldn't be...
Maybe your death wouldn’t change things after all.
He has to be there...
Though it would certainly be...
A picture of hell...
Man will suffer no matter what. He is doomed.
Everything in Kamakura is destroyed by traitorous warriors...
It’s no inconvenience for the gods.
Takauji Ashikaga...
This is hell.
I can't believe you've done it so thoroughly.
Kamakura is in ruins.
Sir... Takauji...
Traitorous samurai are killing everyone in their path.
Takauji Ashikaga.
I didn’t expect him to be this thorough.
Takauji... But he...
Who are you?
Who are you?
I'm a feudal lord of Shimotsuke.
I’m a vassal from Shimotsuke.
My name is Takauji Ashikaga.
My name is Takauji Ashikaga.
You can't escape from me, Young Master!
Young Lord, you can’t run from Takauji! I’ve got you!
He was just smiling the other day...
His smile back then seemed so real.
Was that all a lie?
Was it all a lie?
Let's get our revenge, Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki, we have to take revenge.
I will certainly be of assistance!
I, Yorishige, will be standing by your side.
His smile is also completely fake.
- Aah. -This smile is a lie too. All of it is a lie.
Go away.
Just go.
How can I believe a bogus prayer master?
I could never trust a fraudulent shaman like you.
How rude!
You insult me!
I am bursting with holiness, and you call me bogus?!
How dare you call me a fraud?
Father.
I am overflowing with holy energy. Can’t you see?
A bogus is a bogus. No need to argue.
He’s right, Father.
Back me up here, my family!
A fraud is a fraud, so stop it with the excuses.
I can't avenge anyone.
Even you, Shizuku? Come on!
You'll know it when you see this.
We cannot avenge my father.
Even Lord Minamoto-no-Yoritomo took five years to destroy the Heike.
Can’t you see? It’s obvious.
And yet, there's a man who destroyed a whole country in just 24 days.
Even for Yoritomo Minamoto, it took five years to defeat the Heike clan.
You spoke nonsense the other day that I would be a hero...
Was there a man before Ashikaga who destroyed an entire country in 24 days?
But it is powerful men like Takauji Ashikaga,
The other day, you told me a fairy tale about how I would become a great hero,
who will be called heroes by future generations.
but future generations will only use this term
The losers must die gracefully, lest they be ashamed of themselves.
when they talk about someone strong like Takauji Ashikaga.
So just please let me die.
Now that I’ve been defeated, it would be disgraceful not to choose death.
Just like the rest of the warriors.
So let me die with honor as a samurai
Is that so?
like my father and my people.
Then die.
Very well.
He's from Hojo!
Then to your death.
From the depths of despair and beyond...
Mmm?
Only on the brink of death...
It’s the Hojo child!
Hey!
When you’re thrown into the depths of despair...
The hero inside you...
When you feel death’s chilling embrace...
will shine!
Oy.
Hey...
...that is the moment the hero within you shines!
What would you do if I died?
You know I could have died just now?
You said you'd be a shame if you died,
You said it would be disgraceful to live,
but it's the hero inside you that made you...
yet you jumped out of certain death to save yourself.
try and survive happily and undeterred.
That, my lord, was the hero in you.
Being elusive is a glimpse of a hero.
Running and hiding are necessary skills any hero needs to possess.
Up there! Shoot them down!
Up there! Fire at will!
You are the monster of survival instincts!
Your instinct to live is incredibly monstrous.
You are most gifted for survival,
No one knows how to survive better than you.
and love the tingling tension between life and death.
You love the intense thrill of dancing between life and death.
You must mean trouble for Takauji, who just murdered the emperor,
Takauji, who just killed our lord and took a whole country,
and claimed the throne.
will soon experience a rough awakening.
The next heir to the Kamakura shogunate,
The boy who’ll inherit the Kamakura shogunate,
who must be killed more so than anyone else,
the one he needs to kill,
has the talent to survive better than anyone else.
knows how to escape the grip of death like no other.
Takauji becomes a hero by killing.
Takauji becomes a hero by killing,
And you will become a hero by surviving.
and you become a hero by living.
You are two heroes with opposite destinies.
You two are heroes who have opposing fates to each other.
Of course, you can't win by merely running and hiding.
Of course, a hero can’t win by running and hiding alone.
Companionship, military strength, and intelligence...
Allies, military strength, intellect...
I will gather it all for you to win.
I will provide you everything you need to be victorious.
If you keep on living, one day for sure,
As long as you still take breath,
Takauji will come to kill you.
Takauji will have no choice but to come and kill you himself at some point.
Until then,
Till that day comes, you will run and hide, and grow in strength,
you stay hidden, train yourself, and take down the chasing demon!
and defeat the demons that are coming for you.
Now, we shall begin the game of tag to reclaim the throne!
Now, it’s time to play a game of tag to reclaim the throne!
Sir Yorishige.
Mr. Yorishige, what is it that you really want?
What's your aim here?
What do you gain by saving the child of a country in ruins?
What's in it for you to rescue an exiled kid?
I do it for my devotion to the Hojo clan! That is all.
All for loyalty to the Hojo family!
So, Young Lord, tell me, would you believe me, a fraudulent shaman?
Well, I'm just a bogus, so I guess you won't believe me.
One day, I will tell you everything.
I'll tell you in due time.
When you have avenged your father and reclaimed Kamakura.
After you have taken back Kamakura.
I’m a disgrace.
I...
As a samurai’s son,
I really know no shame.
I have the duty to forfeit my life.
My whole family was killed...
I should be dead alongside my clan and my people.
It was only natural for me to die as well.
Yet because of you, I’ve awakened to the joy of living.
Thanks to you, I swooned at the joy of living.
Mr. Yorishige, you are responsible for this.
Sir Yorishige.
Of course, my young lord.
You will be responsible for this.
I will walk with you through the very depths of hell.
Of course.
Just as Yorishige prophesied,
I will serve you to the depths of Hell.
two years later, Tokiyuki would shake Japan to its core.
Just like Yorishige predicted,
Hyah!
two years later, Tokiyuki shook the whole country.
In a time where death was the honorable path,
In an era where dying gracefully was the norm,
this boy outran all the challenges aiming to destroy him,
the boy kept on the run at all costs,
and attempted to overthrow the shogun.
and he was determined to get the head of the new emperor.
So began the adventurous life of the elusive samurai prince.
Thus marked the beginning of the turbulent life of the elusive samurai.
Let’s go!
Coming forth!
