Come on, Pa!

Wait!

Make way!

Move it!

Pa, some kids wearing red robes just ran by.

The bowl-cut boys.

Bowl-cut?

This is it.

They arrest those who speak ill of the Heike.

Let's go.

Stop resisting!

Please, I beg you!

You must come to the Rokuhara estate!

Blame your husband for his tongue!

He besmirched warriors! Called them vile!

Who do you think makes it possible for you to live here in safety and security?

Quite right!

Do not involve yourself.

But...

But Pa!

It's so terrible!

What did you say?

I beg your forgiveness.

Please.

They are but the words of a child.

This is your child?

In that case, you shall accept the punishment.

Pay for your crime.

For sullying the Taira name.

Pa!

The Buddha's temple bells toll the message that all existence is impermanent.

The sal tree's blossoms turn white to grieve him:

a reminder that all who flourish must fall.

Drink!

My apologies for my lateness.

Brother, the new year and your convalescence are truly cause for celebration.

Tokitada, just where have you been?

Tokiko, dear.

This is a celebration. Let's just enjoy it.

Whoops.

Goodness.

Oh my.

Brother, I daresay that monastic look truly suits you.

Am I like the shining moon, perhaps?

More fitting to say the rising sun!

The Taira clan has reached new heights of glory!

Lord Shigemori is Palace Minister and Left Commander.

Lord Tomomori is third rank and a captain.

Lord Koremori is fourth rank and a lieutenant.

Six senior nobles hail from our clan,

more than 30 privy gentlemen,

60 officials, including provincial governors and guard officers.

Of the 66 provinces, the Heike governs more than 30.

So great is our success, it is as if no person outside the Heike is in government.

No, those outside our clan are not people!

You never do make merry.

'Tis no fault.

However,

it is boring.

What is this?

The sea at Itsukushima.

Amusing, is it not?

The archway and the building are suspended in water...

I will build this.

We prospered because we controlled the sea.

We built tremendous wealth as rulers of Aki Province and accrued martial might.

Then in the last war, your military achievements brought victory to Emperor Go-Shirakawa's side.

I will reside in Fukuhara.

Fukuhara?!

That is a day's journey from the capital.

Moreover, there is nothing there.

The sea is there.

I will create a harbor for large ships in Fukuhara.

There we shall conduct trade with Suou Province.

Not at Dazaifu as we have till now, but at Fukuhara.

That shall produce wealth. Wealth and might.

With both of these at our disposal, the Heike shall attain even greater glory.

Thus we must offer thanks to the sea.

Since I shall depart the capital, the seat as head of the Taira I leave to you, Shigemori.

Despite his station as a warrior,

my father Tadamori was granted entrance to the palace, becoming a privy gentleman.

How dare a warrior set foot in the palace!

He forgets his place!

Carrying a sword into the palace is not permitted!

He intimidated them with a silver-lined bamboo sword.

Amusing, is it not?

So I am boring then, am I?

Oh.

Who are you?

How did you gain entrance here?

I came to tell you.

Your people's end is near.

I speak the truth.

I see it.

Stay back!

Lord Shigemori!
What happened?
You can see it?
I thought myself the only one.
What do you see?
What do you see?
I...
I see the dead.
Wandering souls who know not where to go.
Is that... your father?
They killed him?
Heike warriors? Our warriors?
I am speechless.
Pa...
Pa... did nothing wrong.
Nothing at all!
I am sorry.
I am so sorry.
Act, then.
Kill me.
Like... Like they did Pa.
Kill me like they killed Pa!
What's this?
Oh dear.
Goodness me.
Fleas!
And lice too!
Do you truly intend to take this child in?
Do you?
Yes, well... Let's start with a change of clothes and a room.
If you wish, you are welcome to spend some time here.
Goodness me!
Oh my!
Goodness!
Oh my...
Goodness...
A girl, you say...
Yes.
Then could she be a court lady?
Well, she said, "I refuse to dress like a girl."
And, "Pa always made me dress like a boy, so I am a boy."
I see.
Her father must have been doing that out of concern for her safety.
Oh my...
Goodness...
Where does it all go?
Starting tomorrow, educate her on manners and etiquette.
Of course.
What is your name?
Biwa.
Biwa, is it?
Pa never used my name.
Thus I know it not.
I chose that name.
I see.
A fine name it is.
Because I love this instrument.
Almost...
Almost as much as I love Pa...
Biwa, would you stay here after all?
For my sake as well as yours.
I would like you to stay.
I want you to tell me what your eye shows you.
Then perhaps I might avert the demise of my clan.
No.
I won't do that.
Pa told me not to look.
That I mustn't look at the future.
Father, we are all here.
Biwa, meet Koremori, Sukemori, Kiyotsune, and Arimori.
Biwa here will be staying with us.
Who is this kid?
Biwa will live here at the estate and be your playmate.
A warrior's kid?
No.
A biwa musician's!
Ah, someone of low birth.
I can't stand you people after all!
Come, now, Biwa.
Biwa, please accept my gratitude for your friendship.
You too, Sukemori.
Wh-What is it?
I still refuse.
To look at the future.
I was just thinking how beautiful the color of your eye is.
I never felt that way about my own eye.
It's not beautiful.
Pa feared my eye.
I too am frightened by my eye.
It shows me naught but departed souls in the dark.
Shigemori.
Would you like me to take you along?
No way.
It'll be better without you.
Sukemori.
Lady Tokuko!
She is Father's younger sister.
To what do we owe this pleasure?
Father is coming from Fukuhara.
Grandfather?
Then I shall hunt down something amazing for him!
Take care not to be chased around by something amazing instead.
I-I must depart now!
Let's go.
You're really a girl, right?
I can tell.
So why are you dressed like a boy?
I, uh...
It might be better that way.
A woman's life is...
What's wrong?
You failed to alight before His Highness the regent?
I was hurrying back from my hunt...
Onward! Onward!
They yelled that it was insolent...
What nerve!
To treat a child this way is excessive.
However, it was you who broke etiquette, Sukemori.
Lord Motofusa is Emperor Takakura's regent!
To remedy this, I shall offer His Highness my apologies as well.
Wait.
I have an idea.
This is a job for Rokuhara's warriors.
Rokuhara's warriors, 300 riders in full armor, lay in wait.
They hemmed His Highness in and all at once let loose a great battle cry.
His retinue was chased to, cornered fro, pulled from their steeds...
and stripped of their topknots.
This was the beginning of the Heike's villainy.
Father, the fault lay with us!
By any measure you have gone too far!
We cannot allow the Heike to be taken lightly.
Besides,
it's amusing, is it not?
He does whatever he pleases!
He left worldly life and left the capital. I thought I would finally be rid of him!
How can the court possibly save face now?
After they made such a...
fool of the Emperor's regent!

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 02 [BD 1080p AAC] [55DE3F7B]

Sukemori,
reflect upon your discourtesy toward Lord Motofusa and conduct yourself accordingly in Ise.
Yes, Father.
Mother...
Must we really send Sukemori to Ise?
He already received punishment for the impoliteness he showed His Highness the regent.
It was not him that ordered 300 riders to attack ten men!
They say it was so much that it made Motofusa cry.
I have dismissed everyone who attacked Lord Motofusa.
I also sent Sukemori to Ise.
You really are a bore, you know.
As a result of this incident, the ranks of those who are not amused by the Heike have grown.
All right. I get it.
I know.
On account of the trouble I caused you, I'll get you a gift.
How about one of those lanterns you're so fond of?
The word is that you put up 48 lanterns in your estate.
Some call you Lantern Lord.
Are you that frightened of the dark?
Hey, baldy!
What would a gaudy man like you know of the dark's terror?!
Biwa!
Remember this:
darkness always lies just ahead!
Now you are amusing.
H-Hey!
Tokiko!
What are you doing?
Ow, ow, ow.
A warrior imitating the nobles?
Do you intend to set your hands on Lord Shigemori's child?
Let me go!
Let me go, Shige—
Oh. Sorry.
Brother?
Tokuko?
Father said he wanted to keep you at his side?
But my brother turned him down, right?
Thank goodness.
This is my fault.
I made the request that he bring you with him.
Since my little sister Moriko married six years ago, I've had no one I can open up to.
Moriko became Lord Fujiwara no Motozane's bride at the age of nine.
Even though Lord Motozane already had a five-year-old son with another woman.
A political marriage.
But in the end, Lord Motozane passed two years after marrying Moriko.
Moriko was a widow at age 11.
What's more, she became a parent to his son.
Oh, Lord Motozane was the older brother of Lord Motofusa.
So Moriko essentially acquired lands and assets of the Fujiwara clan.
Motofusa's displeasure at that might be the reason Sukemori was treated so badly.
In the end, Father thinks of us only as his pawns.
Well, not just us...
It looks like I have to get married now too.
I'm 16, marrying a boy a whole six years my junior.
That's really young.
And get this. His father is...
My throat hurts.
Father, it stinks.
Your father is drinking garlic chive water because he feels unwell.
Is that not because he was singing all through the night?
I could hear him even from my room.
When I spy a lovely maiden, I wish us to be vines twisted together as one.
Contemporary court ballads are like a mirror that reflects the world in the present!
Wanting to be a vine twisted with a beautiful woman...
What value is there in a mirror that reflects such a thing?
Norihito!
Excuse me, Father.
Shigeko!
That boy has gotten so mouthy since his coming-of-age ceremony was scheduled!
But is it not rather reassuring that he can speak his mind?
It means he will be no one's puppet.
Not even when he is wed to Lord Kiyomori's daughter.
Kiyomori's daughter, huh...
Norihito requires powerful backing.
He needs the strength of the Heike.
But what if Kiyomori ends up pulling the strings?
Then that will be a situation for you to handle, my lord.
To put it in musical terms, Lord Kiyomori is the snail.
The snail?
If he does not do as you say...
Ah, then I kick him!
Dance, little snail, dance! For if you don't...
I shall have the foals and calves kick you.
Thanks for listening to me for so long, Biwa.
Come visit again.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Ma?
Ma!
Or not.
What is your name?
Biwa.
Is your mother a court dancer too?
That's what Pa said.
I see.
That's Lady Giou and her younger sister Lady Ginyo.
They're here for Hotoke-Gozen to chat with.
Oh...
Well, you see, at one time, Giou was Father's favorite.
But after he began to favor a court dancer named Hotoke-Gozen,
he kicked Lady Giou out.
Yet she started to be summoned here again since Hotoke-Gozen seems lonely with no one to talk to.
There's no telling what Father would do to her if she refused.
"Lantern Lord," huh?
The dark has frightened me since I was a child.
Perhaps because of what I see.
What frightens you, Biwa?
The future.
The future frightens me.
I see.
Though the future and the dark may be frightening,
this present moment is beautiful.
You resign as Major Counselor?
Because of the attack on the regent?
Aren't you supposed to handle Norihito's coming-of-age ceremony?
Yes.
I ask your leave to have my brother Munemori take over in my stead.
You're cleaning the mess up thoroughly.
You fired the men who assaulted Motofusa,
you confined your son, the cause of the commotion, in Ise,
and now you take responsibility too.
It is only proper, my lord.
I acknowledge the trouble I have caused you.
What is Kiyomori doing?
Devoting himself to building lodging in Fukuhara?
Yes. But he occasionally visits the capital.
I hear he has taken a liking to a dancer.
Despite entering monastic life, he seems very attached to worldly affairs.
I did it in order to abdicate the throne to Norihito.
But it seems Kiyomori shaved his head to avoid responsibilities and do as he pleases.
Ultimately I serve not my father but you, my lord, as well as Lord Norihito.
Your turn, my lord.
That Shigemori is one upstanding fellow.
There is a reason he is referred to as the conscience of the Heike.
He is a renowned warrior. In the Heiji rebellion...
The era is Heiji, the capital is Heian, and we bear the Heike name!
All contain "hei," which means "peace"!
So let us pacify the enemy!
...it's said that's how he roused his comrades.
Yes, but while he is the eldest son, Shigemori is...
Not Tokiko's child?
Last year, when Fujiwara no Narichika had a dispute with Enryaku Temple
and the temple marched to demand Narichika's exile,
I ordered Shigemori to fight. But...
As I am under orders, I have come prepared for battle.
However, I humbly ask that this course against the monks be reconsidered.
It was such a good opportunity to chip away at that bothersome temple's power.
Despite my orders, the Heike must not have wanted to make an enemy of Enryaku Temple.
And the one behind that was...
Still, my lord, Shigemori will eventually be leader not just in name.
Shigemori places his loyalty firmly with you.
And if you welcome his little sister Tokuko, the might of the Heike will wind up protecting Norihito.
That's right. Cast the dice.
Three things defy my plans: these dice,
the waters of the Kamo River,
and Enryaku Temple's monks.
Well expressed indeed.
Now, what will happen with the Heike?
Biwa, are you going to Rokuhara again?
Sukemori is in Ise.
I'll have no one to play with.
I'll play after I return.
Pretentious.
It's just birds.
I know.
I was just startled.
Biwa!
Tokuko!
She's here.
Giou.
That was pretty!
It was so, so pretty!
Your notes were lovely as well, Biwa.
There's plenty more.
Listen, Biwa.
My mother is also a court dancer.
She has heard of a fellow dancer whose eyes are different colors, like yours.
One that supposedly had a child.
But a nobleman took quite a liking to her,
and she was supposedly forced to go with him.
Is it my ma?
I cannot say for sure.
Where is this person now?
My mother never met her, so...
Biwa, I'll also ask around about her.
I'm sure you'll meet her one day.
"One day" is a nice phrase.
Tomorrow.
The next day.
Now I can look forward to the future a little.
Well, I need to go keep Lady Hotoke-Gozen company now.
Giou, show me your dance again next time.
"Next time."
That too is a nice phrase.
Biwa.
What's with the vacant stare?
Koremori.
Biwa!
Tokuko!
It's been a while.
Hello, Koremori.
Tokuko, when is "next time"?
When is my "next time" with Giou?
I'm afraid that...
Are you all right?
My little sister, my mother, and I became nuns.
I was resentful.
He saw me only when he pleased, and when his interest shifted, I had to obey.
It was just as if I were Lord Kiyomori's pawn.
But from now on I can live in peace.
Yeah.
You must be upset there can be no next time.
Worldly wealth is but an illusion.
What good can riches do us?
I stand before you with a shaved head.
Forgive me, I beg, for my past sins.
If you deign to forgive me,
let us all live together in prayer,
and be born on the same lotus in Paradise.
Tomorrow.
The next day.
After this.
In the future.
Far in the future.
Even farther.
Good things happen too.
Yes.
Both Hotoke-Gozen and Giou's faces were serene.
I want to tell Tokuko too!
Tokuko has been betrothed.
At the end of the year, she'll be wed into the imperial family.
Tokuko!
Biwa.
I'm sorry I've been unable to see you.
I've been busy with preparations.
Don't go!
Don't go!
Stop!
Thank you, Biwa.
I'm grateful for your concern.
But I'll be all right.
And this doesn't mean we can never see each other.
Until next time.
Right?
Tokuko!

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 03 [BD 1080p AAC] [BE0C61A4]

Are you all right?
There, there.
Brother, is this what they call seasickness?
Sure is, Kiyotsune.
You look pathetic, Biwa.
Shut u—
Father, I see it.
Wow!
It's huge!
Father, is this the grand archway?
Yes.
Wealth and might.
With both of these at our disposal, the Heike shall attain even greater glory.
Lord Koremori's dancing is truly beautiful.
His performance of The Waves of Kokonor at Emperor Go-Shirakawa's banquet last year was very well received.
Oh, you are too kind.
Nevertheless,
a warrior being praised for beauty rather than combat is quite concerning.
Tokitada! Munemori! Shigemori!
If you have energy for idle chatter, use it to pray instead!
Pray that no matter what it takes, Tokuko bears a child.
Of course!
Tokuko.
I'll be all right.
This doesn't mean we can never see each other.
Until next time.
Right?
Biwa.
Sh-Shigemori.
Do you feel better now?
Yep.
Good to hear.
Oh, Lord Munemori.
Oh, no need to bow.
Though we have different mothers, you are still my older brother.
I insist.
Itsukushima certainly is a fine place.
Indeed. It is thanks to Tokuko that we could come here.
And yet, despite our prayers, I expect it may be difficult for her to bear a child.
This marks six years at the palace, and His Majesty is turning 16.
Biwa.
Do you still feel sick?
Munemori's unpleasant.
Yes.
Munemori is Grandfather's second son,
but he is Lady Tokiko's first son,
so perhaps Father's presence bothers him a bit.
Father made a name as a warrior during the Heiji and Hougen rebellions,
and he is head of the clan, acknowledged even by Grandfather.
He also has Emperor Go-Shirakawa's trust.
To the younger brother, a serious and capable first son is like a lump above the eye.
Then is Koremori a lump to you too, Brother?
Not at all!
Our brother is beautiful.
But he's unfortunately a scaredy-cat. See?
Not much of a warrior.
Sukemori, with your rotten attitude and tongue, you're like Munemori.
Y-You're one to talk!
You only lack the facial hair.
What was that?!
Now, now. That's enough, you two.
How about we go closer to the shore?
Yes! Into the horizon!
Well, maybe not that far...
There you go being a scaredy-cat.
Wherever we go, we are men of the Heike, Brother.
Right.
Got it?
Come on! Come on! Let's go!
Be careful.
Okay!
Biwa.
Tokuko!
How wonderful! You look well!
Yes, I'm the same as ever.
You seem the same too, Biwa.
Strangely so, even.
Oh, I heard you visited Itsukushima.
Yeah, I did!
I see.
They even took a boat.
Just who was that trouble for?
Tokuko...
I'm all right.
Don't be worried.
In fact, it might be better if I don't have a child.
I'm sure I'd find it adorable.
But the child might be put through many hardships.
Lady Tokuko!
How nice to see you.
Oh, Sukemori.
Do you have business with Father?
Yes, regarding the poetry contest.
But I'm leaving now.
Might I take the liberty of accompanying you back, then?!
Ah.
But in more appropriate attire.
I shall return shortly. Please wait a moment.
You see,
Sukemori seems to have feelings for one of my attendants.
What?!
You say Emperor Go-Shirakawa is visiting again?
Yes.
Perhaps His Majesty has been lonely since the passing of his wife Lady Shigeko last summer.
True.
I understand!
To be apart from the one you love is a truly lonely thing!
Tokuko, I am going out for a bit.
But I am told your father is coming.
That is why.
I do not wish to see Father.
I see.
I shall tell him the Emperor has other business.
Please do.
I am sorry, Tokuko.
Do not be.
Have a safe trip, my lord.
Thanks.
Are you sure, Lady Tokuko?
Surely the Emperor is going to see Lady Kogou.
The Emperor has been feeling stifled over various things.
It is good that he has a place where his heart can be comforted.
In that case, allow me to entertain His Majesty.
Oh, is that so, Sukemori? You like contemporary court ballads as well?
Yes, though not as much as you, my lord.
You have quite good sense for a grandson of Kiyomori.
What a good son Shigemori has!
Unlike me, with the son I have...
Oh, how I miss Shigeko.
My lord, let us sing!
Yes! Let's sing together!
What dream comes in the slumber brought when two souls long burning with longing have a rare union?
'Tis of the reality of sliding into warm embrace.
Tokuko was here?
I would have liked to see her, but I had to be somewhere.
What's wrong, Shigemori?
Nothing.
I had to go to Enryaku Temple over an incident.
A few days ago, Lord Morotsune of the Fujiwara, who governs Kaga Province with his brother,
visited a mountain temple and demanded use of their bath.
He fought with the monks because they refused him,
and of all things,
he burned the temple.
That temple was affiliated with Enryaku Temple,
so Enryaku's head priest Meiun has demanded punishment for Lord Morotsune and for his elder brother Lord Morotaka.
However, their father serves Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
So, Meiun demands that my sons Morotaka and Morotsune be punished?
Correct, Lord Saikou.
My lord, my sons are governing the Kaga splendidly.
Punishment is preposterous.
A good point.
Your songs again?
Well, one of Shigemori's sons said he wanted to sing them with me.
You mean Sukemori?
Apologies, my lord.
My lord, please spare them punishment.
But Lord Saikou,
I doubt Lord Meiun and the Enryaku Temple monks will be satisfied with that.
A good point.
Monks from Enryaku Temple are headed to the palace.
What?!
The monks are heading to the palace?!
To burn a temple is an outrageous act!
Let's take our petition to the imperial court!
I have just arrived, my lord.
What took so long?
Thousands of Enryaku Temple warrior monks are heading to the palace!
Times like this are the whole point of having you warriors!
Take command of the soldiers and protect the palace gates at all costs!
Yes, my lord.
Listen well!
You need only drive the monks away!
Do not aim for vital spots!
Also, you absolutely must not shoot the portable shrines!
They are divine vessels!
And so, marching behind their shrines,
the monks sought to enter by the well-guarded Taiken Gate on the east side.
Violence erupted in an instant.
The warriors rained down arrows.
Numerous arrows pierced a portable shrine!
Priests were slaughtered,
and many warrior monks were wounded.
My lord, has the fire at the court last month caused you inconvenience?
Well, Shunkan.
I tell you, it was a truly terrible fire.
I heard that not just estates at court but Shigemori's estate too burned down.
Retribution for the shrine?
Narichika, your younger sister is Shigemori's wife, yes?
Yes.
And your daughter is Koremori's wife?
Yes...
Speaking of Shigemori, in the shrine incident,
despite his duty to protect the imperial court, he did not exactly come down hard on the monks.
If that weren't enough, both the political and military power at court is in the grip of the Heike.
A good point.
As things stand, the blasted Heike will only grow—
Which means that in order to oppose the Heike,
the only option is to rely on the Genji.
But the Genji were defeated in the Heiji Rebellion,
and the clan head Minamoto no Yoshitomo has already perished—
His son is alive.
Ah, Yoritomo.
Were you to order it, my lord,
the Genji and the nobles and clans with grievances against the Heike would surely rise up.
You think you could defeat them? The Heike?
Indeed.
For us, even the most imposing solider is as easily toppled as a drunk.
An amusing use of metaphor.
A tepid response, Lord Narichika.
The Heike's necks must be...
cleanly snapped like so.
My. Well done.
You understand them well.
What frightful talk.
What?
Father has arrested Lords Shunkan and Saikou?!
Yes.
A conspiracy against the Heike was plotted at Shunkan's villa in Shishigatani.
One of those present supposedly reported the matter in secret to Grandfather.
Saikou!
You ignored your sons' misdeeds,
and now you beguile His Majesty and attempt to topple us?
How dare scum like you defy the Heike!
Are you also not scum?
What?
A mere warrior doing whatever he pleases.
You promote only your clan.
You grow conceited and pompous!
The world does not belong to the Heike!
After he confesses his plot, behead him by the river.
Father.
My wife's father, Lord Narichika of the Fujiwara, is also at Grandfather's estate.
What? Lord Narichika was involved?
It appears so.
And what about His Majesty?
He still seems to be safe, but it appears Grandfather intends to capture him.
I see.
Koremori, spread the word.
"A great crisis has arisen.
All who trust Shigemori are to assemble."
Shigemori.
The rest of you are not to leave the estate.
You understand?
Brother, are you trembling?
Well, Koremori is a scaredy-cat.
Emperor Go-Shirakawa attempted to bring down the Heike.
I am scared.
The days we lived up to now have ended.
Things will change.
Everything will change.
Biwa!
Shigemori!
Biwa.
Shigemori, come back home with me.
I can't yet.
Then I'm going with you!
You can't.
Yes, I can!
Do not involve yourself.
That's what Pa said.
And then...
Oh, Shigemori.
Father.
Please cease your plan to seize Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
I knew you'd say that.
Your fortune is at its end.
I hardly believe you are in your right mind.
What?!
Don't be ridiculous!
Those at Shishigatani are at fault!
To strike at the Heike, servants of the court, is heinous!
But I am told His Majesty was present!
I shall have His Majesty come to my estate and have him remain here.
We must teach everyone a lesson.
About what happens when you oppose the Heike.
I do not wish to die!
Father, I too am gathering soldiers.
Oh, how amus—
However, those soldiers are being gathered to attack you, Father.
You would attack your own father?!
I do not wish to do so!
Our clan owes its prosperity to His Majesty.
I believe our obligation to him runs deeper than the deepest crimson.
Nevertheless, if I fulfill my duty to His Majesty,
I will violate my obligation to my parent.
My loyalty and my filial piety conflict.
I cannot honor both.
Such is my dilemma.
Father, if you wish to leave here,
then cut my head off first!

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 04 [BD 1080p AAC] [DEA6E3F8]

Tokuko.
Stop.
Stay back!
No!
Stay away!
Tokuko, stay strong!
Shigemori.
At least...
At least spare the child!
Please!
Tokuko.
She is at last with child, but she suffers endlessly...
Try not to let it trouble you too much.
Tokuko will successfully bear your child.
Lord Shigemori,
I must express my thanks.
I understand you intervened with Lord Kiyomori to keep him from confining my father,
at risk to your own life.
Do not mention it.
How is His Majesty?
Having lost many aides,
he devotes himself to compiling his songs.
Seeing my father brought low like this...
Please tell him to take care of himself for me.
We of the Taira clan are servants of the court.
And we shall continue to be.
Shigemori.
What did you see?
I saw the ill will of Lord Saikou,
the late Lord Narichika, whose exile to Bizen I failed to prevent,
and the three who were exiled to Kikaigashima.
Biwa, I need to go see my father now.
He apparently happens to be in the capital.
Return to our home with Sukemori.
Lady Iko!
Please!
Have eyes only for me!
Lady Iko.
Please wait!
It seems Lady Iko has feelings for someone besides me.
It's a man nearly 20 years my senior, skilled in song and in art.
I feel like my heart has been toyed with!
It's too much!
That is a lot.
No, I'm sure you don't get it at all, Biwa.
What?
Have you ever loved someone, Biwa?
You're always dressed like a guy.
What?!
Of course I've noticed.
Everyone has.
Though when you first arrived, I thought you were a boy.
Huh?
Of course.
That's it.
Yes, yes.
Of course.
I just need to find someone else too.
Then her heart will be in pieces, and in her jealousy she'll realize,
"Lord Sukemori is the one I love after all!"
I wonder about that.
How about it, Biwa?
Give me your company tonight—
Ow!
You're saying Tokuko's troubles are due to those punished for the Shishigatani plot?
Yes.
I suggest holding a service for the dead and forgiving the Kikaigashima exiles.
To ensure a successful childbirth.
As part of the prayers for Tokuko's safe childbirth, pardons have been executed.
Then we can return to the capital?
Lord Shunkan, your name is not on the document.
What?!
Take me too!
"So you would abandon me in the end?
Let me aboard! Take me with you!"
Thus he cried out,
yet the boat rowed on, leaving only the normal wake of white waves.
Though the boat was not yet far off,
the tears welling up carried it from his view.
Father refused to forgive Lord Shunkan.
Why is that?
The plotting occurred at Lord Shunkan's estate.
Father may harbor deeper resentment because of that.
Or perhaps...
It appears that the other two showed remorse by sending a thousand grave markers into the sea.
I hear Lord Shunkan did not.
That may be why.
Nevertheless, I am told Lady Tokuko's condition has improved!
Biwa, we must visit at once to congratulate her!
Father, spin it again! Again!
Why don't you give it a try this time?
Yes, Father! Mother, watch me!
Koremori, you're a Pa.
Meanwhile, Sukemori is...
The woman he loves is a beauty and a skilled poet,
so I imagine she has many admirers.
Sukemori must have his own troubles.
Anyway, Biwa,
I would like you to play for my wife.
Perhaps it would comfort her.
Thanks to Father's intercession with Grandfather,
her father Lord Narichika was spared a death sentence.
But in exile in Bizen, he was not provided proper food and perished.
Once Lady Tokuko gives birth, Grandfather's power is sure to grow.
Just what consequences will that have?
My, well done, Tokuko!
And a boy, no less!
Let me hold him too!
This child will be the next emperor.
The Heike's glory will reach further heights.
Yes, there, there.
What a lively child.
He really is adorable.
Yes, he truly is.
Listen, Biwa.
I heard that you can see the future.
I wonder what lies in store for him.
I don't care about my future.
But his future...
Can you see his future?
Please, tell me.
I can't see it.
Oh...
Goodness, what's wrong?
There, there.
Moriko...
She was only 24.
She was wed at nine and lost her husband two years later.
It must have been lonely for her.
So why...
Why was no new husband ever sought out for her?
Tokuko.
It was to hold on to the assets Moriko inherited.
Everyone is talking.
They say the death of Taira no Kiyomori's daughter Moriko
was divine punishment for the Heike snatching up Fujiwara assets.
The whirlwinds last month were terrible.
Homes and carriages alike were blown away,
trees ripped from the ground,
stones lifted into the air...
Yet Father does nothing for the people,
concerning himself only with his grandchild and what happens to Moriko's assets.
The diviners predict that within 100 days a great emergency will befall the nation and successive war will follow.
What do you think?
What does that eye of yours show you?
I don't want to look.
If I can do nothing about what I see, I'd rather not look.
Of course.
There is nothing I can do now.
Lord Narichika, who was part of the Shishigatani incident,
was my wife's brother and Koremori's father-in-law.
That has affected my position.
The only thing I can do now is...
I pray that my father Kiyomori seek no further glory and that he take pains to bring about peace.
However, if the clan's glory is to end with my father,
so that I might avoid seeing the descendants of the Heike be disgraced,
please, I pray that you shorten my life.
I humbly beseech you.
What is it?
Just now, something came from your—
No, it is nothing, Father.
"I'm a little hungry," Biwa said.
What?!
Forgive me.
We'd better be on our way, then.
It's cold!
Really wakes you up, doesn't it?
The sea at Itsukushima that day wasn't this cold.
That's cold!
Take this, Biwa!
That's cold!
There! Take that too!
Lord Koremori...
In this state, it's like he's dressed for mourning.
Quiet!
A change of clothes.
No.
No need.
Sorry.
Take it away.
Father...
You must eat something.
I am sorry for worrying you.
I am fine.
Don't push yourself!
Please rest!
Father, Emperor Go-Shirakawa is here.
Have him let in.
You did not need to go to such trouble.
Don't be ridiculous.
I am grateful for your loyalty.
I am unworthy of your words.
Pull yourself together.
You are the head of the Heike.
You have to live even longer than Kiyomori.
Please.
Live.
Shigemori looks as though his vitality left him.
Ever since his return from Kumano, he has been on his sickbed and does not eat.
How awful.
What could have happened?
Your Majesty,
Kiyotsune here is an expert flute player.
Huh?
How does that matter?
To see your face darkened so brings us worry too.
How about this?
Shall we hope for Father's recovery and sing?
Oh!
You are Shigemori's third son, yes?
Y-Yes!
We also have a biwa player.
Was I born to have fun?
Was I born to play games?
When I hear the shouts of children playing,
then even I am stirred.
Well done, Your Majesty.
To carry on like that when you are unwell.
It's fine.
Diversion is necessary in this world.
Koremori,
like your father, you are the type to worry too much.
Try not to put too much strain on yourself.
Father...
Where am I?
The head of Kiyomori.
His excessive villainy caused Kasuga Grand Shrine to take it.
The Heike's destiny is now at an end.
Amusing, is it not?
Father!
The Heike!
Father, I have come.
Father, you should be in bed!
Thank you for coming.
Koremori,
this is for you.
This...
Is this Kogarasu, the Heike blade passed down through the generations?
No, this is a plain longsword, to be worn at a funeral.
It was for Lord Kiyomori's end.
Why do you give it to me?
I no longer—
Father!
I can no longer remonstrate with Lord Kiyomori.
Koremori, I ask that you take this in my stead.
Yes.
I accept it.
I built an island.
So that ships can anchor in its lee.
Lord Kiyomori, your ideas surpass imagination.
Amusing, is it not?
Now, Tokitada.
What business made you rush all the way to Fukuhara?
I am afraid Lord Shigemori is...
Shigemori.
Shigemori!
Biwa.
Shigemori!
Shigemori.
I was a boring man to the end, wasn't I?
That's not true!
I am sorry.
I dragged you into this.
Into the Heike clan's inevitable ruin.
Play for me.
This is all I can do.
I'm powerless.
Even though I can see it, I can't do anything.
Shigemori?
Shigemori?
Shigemori!
Shigemori! Shigemori!
No!
Shigemori!
Father!
Biwa.
Shigemori...
Pa?
You're there, aren't you?
You're still there.
Did I inherit Shigemori's eye?

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 05 [BD 1080p AAC] [1C898A1D]

Biwa.
The color of your eye changed.
Perhaps Biwa has inherited Father's eye.
Freaky!
Maybe you're a specter.
I mean, you never get any bigger.
What?!
Why, you little...
Sukemori!
See, she's a monster cat!
Stop it, Biwa!
Biwa, enough!
Brother!
What a lively bunch.
Lord Munemori.
I thought surely you would be in low spirits.
Or is this just how you behave with your strict father no longer around?
Munemori.
I have come today to inform my late brother that I shall take firm hold of the reigns...
as head of the Heike!
Oh, you're so cute!
Good job!
There, there!
Tokuko.
Tomomori, dear brother.
My, His Highness is standing splendidly!
And here we have one of Shigemori's attendants.
Biwa.
Your eye is the same as his!
Did Brother have a love child?
You are mistaken.
Oh, sorry!
I just assumed.
You know, even the Emperor has his other child...
Forgive me!
I've stuck my foot in my mouth twice in a row!
My son has a little brother now.
Through a different mother.
Kogou?
No, someone else.
Lady Shokuko.
So your wife has become that child's wet nurse?
Uh, yeah. She has.
And you have become Munemori's adjunct, right?
Yeah.
Alongside our little brother Shigehira.
Is Munemori actually ready to be clan head, I wonder?
Well, uh...
How is Father?
I hear that he's been holed up in Fukuhara since Shigemori passed.
The shock must have hit him hard.
Anyway, we can't feel down forever.
Even without Shigemori, we must carry the Taira clan forward.
We'll combine our brotherly strength and work heartily and nimbly!
What a vexing bug.
Now then,
you say that damned Kiyomori is still out of it?
Yes.
Then he's just a senile old man now.
What a great opportunity.
It was Emperor Go-Shirakawa?
Yes.
He seized the province of Echizen that Koremori inherited...
And the Fujiwara assets that Moriko had taken possession of were also seized...
And lately he has also been meddling with regard to court positions.
Curses!
Father?
How dare he? Curse him!
Father?!
F-Father!
F-F-F-F-Father!
Munemori, gather troops!
I'm returning to the capital.
I'm not senile yet!
You! Make way!
Make way!
It's Lord Kiyomori.
He intends to retaliate.
Father, welcome back to the capital.
Munemori!
Yes!
Tomomori!
Sir!
Shigehira!
Yes.
Beginning today, we dismiss the regent, the chancellor, and 41 others from their offices.
Afterward, the positions will be filled from the Heike.
And as for Motofusa, who took away Shigemori's territory,
exile him to Hyuuga!
Move out! Go! Go!
Open the gate!
Circle there too!
Capture them all!
Don't resist!
I beg your pardon!
Spare me exile to Hyuuga!
For I have taken vows and renounced the world!
In that case, I shall let you off with exile in Bizen.
Munemori!
Yes, Father!
Go to Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
We will have His Majesty reside at Toba Palace.
You mean to confine His Majesty?
To go so far seems—
I shall go at once, Father!
Even me?
What gall. For the Heike warriors to bare their fangs at me...
It's outrageous!
I'll never forgive this, Kiyomori!
The eight-span mirror, the heavenly sword of gathering clouds, and the string of jade jewels.
The Three Sacred Treasures are proof that you are the Emperor!
The youngest in history to accede to the throne!
I'd say "infantile" rather than "young."
Tokuko, you should rejoice.
Your child—my grandson—has become the Emperor!
Haven't you?
His Majesty understands this is a happy thing.
Now then...
Retired Emperor Takakura!
I would love for you to visit my Itsukushima Shrine!
Uncle Shigehira, you play so well!
High praise from you, Kiyotsune.
Should you really be standing around playing the flute?
Brother!
Uncle is visiting out of concern for us after the loss of Father!
Yes, but I also wanted to get away from Munemori.
It's still so cold.
This one.
The other day, he demanded Lord Nakatsuna of the Genji's prized horse, despite repeated refusal.
So this is the famous horse you treasure so much.
I shall give this horse the name Nakatsuna.
Run, blasted Nakatsuna!
Blasted Nakatsuna, feel the sting of my crop!
Tomomori and I remonstrated with him later.
Such behavior is not befitting of the head of the Heike.
And if Father were alive, Emperor Go-Shirakawa would never have been confined either.
Given Emperor Takakura's visit to Itsukushima Shrine despite opposition,
I expect the confinement will end soon.
I imagine Emperor Takakura went along with Father's request with that goal in mind.
Father is too high-handed.
Anyway, your concern is understandable, Sukemori.
But going forward, we will be leading the Heike.
In preparation, we must take an interest in governance as well as the flute and develop our fighting skills.
Yes, Uncle!
You're not a monster cat but a puppy.
Monster cat?
Yeah, her.
What with her eyes and all, she's suspicious.
Sukemori,
if you don't fix the way you speak, the court ladies will dislike you.
As will the girl you fancy.
I hear you were quite a help to my brother Shigemori.
If you ever have a problem, come to me.
I shall assist you any time.
That's how he treated your prized horse?
And they even branded it with the name Nakatsuna!
To think of my son Nakatsuna's pain fills me with frustration and misery!
The late Lord Shigemori was a considerate man of the utmost courtesy.
But now, a great many dislike the Heike, and some even despise them!
Prince Mochihito, Your Highness is Emperor Go-Shirakawa's second prince.
You are exceptionally learned and of fine lineage.
There was even talk that you would accede to the throne.
True, that did not happen and your talent has long gone unrecognized.
But now, your abilities are needed!
Bring down the Heike, depose Emperor Antoku, and become emperor yourself, Your Highness!
I beg you, harden your resolve!
Give us your command!
Prince Mochihito ordered the downfall of the Heike?!
I hear the command is presently circulating to the Genji in all quarters.
Inform my father in Fukuhara at once!
Yes, sir!
Seize the prince immediately and exile him to Tosa!
I'm returning to the capital!
Speak! Where is Prince Mochihito?
Search the entire estate!
Capture them all!
I never expected word would get out this early.
It is all right.
The coast is clear.
Your Highness, hide at Onjou Temple until the Genji forces have gathered.
Father! We awaited your arrival!
I am told Prince Mochihito narrowly escaped to Onjou Temple dressed as a woman.
But if the Heike attack...
Onjou Temple's strength will not suffice,
so they sought help from Enryaku Temple on Mount Hiei and Koufuku Temple in Nara. But...
This rice is ours!
You already took plenty!
I sent 3.6 million liters of Oumi Province rice to Enryaku Temple.
Wow, Father. What a brilliant move!
Now Enryaku Temple will side with the Heike.
But what about Koufuku Temple?
We don't need both.
A bird cannot fly with one wing plucked.
Prince Mochihito apparently left Onjou Temple to head for Koufuku Temple.
He must intend for them to harbor him.
A report arrived! Prince Mochihito has entered Byoudou Temple.
Byoudou, you say?
Word is he was exhausted on the road and fell six times from his horse.
He is currently resting at Byoudou Temple.
This is our opportunity!
Attack Byoudou Temple!
Tomomori, you go as a general.
Yes, Father!
You too, Shigehira.
Yes, sir.
And lastly...
Well, Mother, I must depart now.
Koremori.
Brother, may you have fortune in battle.
Brother, you can't defeat the enemy if you're poised to run like usual.
I can't sleep with the racket you're making.
I'm surprised you could hear it over the rain.
Brother has been a scaredy-cat since childhood.
He's more suited to dancing than swinging a sword.
Do you think he'll be all right?
Twenty-eight thousand riders for the Heike crossed Mount Kowata and advanced on Uji Bridge.
Behold! Attack! Attack!
However...
They've removed the bridge!
Be careful!
...the rear troops did not hear this and in their race forward 200 riders were pushed over the edge and swept away.
Then, both sides stood at opposite ends and exchanged volleys.
Into the fray advanced Tajima of Gochi Temple, wearing no armor, holding no shield.
The arrows flying toward him he sliced from the air!
Sliced them from the air!
Thus did he become known as Tajima the arrow slicer.
K-Keep it together!
Brother, we can't make use of our numbers on this bridge.
We should retreat.
Retreat?!
Yes.
Rather than do bridge battle,
let's cross the river and fight.
How?
Ah, I see!
So this is how we can withstand the current.
No need for heroics.
Just stay calm and defeat who you can.
Save any who fall in!
Leave no one behind!
Yorimasa and Nakatsuna of Minamoto, who urged Prince Mochihito to raise an army,
were cornered and killed themselves at Byoudou Temple!
Prince Mochihito was hit with an arrow as he fled and perished!
To top it off, Onjou Temple...
Why, Shigehira, you set it ablaze!
The battle lasted into nightfall.
The risk of friendly fire forced me to.
The blaze just spread so quickly!
Why, I find myself having to praise my younger brother!
We had no other choice, right?
Fighting is the warrior's way.
When you fight, losing is not an option.
After all this, the Genji will think twice.
There should be no more battles for quite some time.
So cute!
Tokuko?
You seem down.
Emperor Takakura spends little time with my son lately.
I am told he had another child with Lady Shokuko.
To think about it pains and distresses me so.
I thought you didn't want this marriage.
No, not at first.
I wonder when that changed.
Once, servants used the fallen leaves of his beloved maple trees as kindling to warm their sake.
Everyone was aghast.
"Warming my sake on fallen leaves in the forest."
How elegant.
That was his response. He didn't rebuke them.
He is a kind man.
But Emperor Takakura must find it more comforting to be with someone else than with me.
A daughter of Kiyomori, of the Heike...
Though they had different mothers, Prince Mochihito was his older brother.
Father... The Heike killed him.
It's all so awful.
But I choose to forgive.
Father, Emperor Takakura, Emperor Go-Shirakawa—all of them.
Maybe that sounds presumptuous.
But someone has to forgive,
or there will be only hatred and conflict.
I'd like to think the world isn't all pain and suffering.
So I'll forgive and forgive and forgive.
Pa?
Did you forgive, Pa?
Shigemori,
did you forgive?
Did you forgive, Biwa?

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 06 [BD 1080p AAC] [2B2A5388]

Isn't Brother taking a little too much?
We should take everything we can.
Oh, Biwa!
Have you packed up what you're bringing?
Yep.
Wow, you packed so light!
Ugh, if only Grandfather hadn't gone and moved the capital to Fukuhara.
If we stay here, there might be another rebellion.
But in Fukuhara, we'll have the sea in front and mountains at our backs.
It'll be easier to protect everyone!
Ow!
You sure packed light upstairs.
What he wants to protect is the Heike's power.
The sudden relocation didn't leave enough time to build homes.
But anyone who stays will be viewed as opposing the Heike.
People are dismantling their current homes to take the timbers with them.
The capital will be like a ruin.
Fukuhara is a nice place too.
Oh, oh, oh.
Ah, this feels so nice!
Kiyotsune, I really envy your ability to empty your head out.
You don't want to play in the water?
N-Not really.
Liar. Of course you do.
Take that.
Are you Lords Sukemori and Kiyotsune?
I am Atsumori, the youngest son of Taira no Tsunemori.
I don't recognize him.
His father is Grandfather's brother.
When I visited the estate, I was told you were out here.
You didn't need to come out here to greet us.
I very much wished to meet Lord Kiyotsune.
Him?
Oh, yes!
I have heard Lord Kiyotsune is a master of the flute.
That's the famous flute known as Saeda, right?
The one your grandfather received from Emperor Toba?
Yes.
I would just love to hear you play, Atsumori.
I feel the same about you.
Then why don't we meet here tonight for some moon viewing?
Oh, how elegant!
What a lovely moon.
A lovely moon indeed.
Although this comes late, I offer my condolences about your father.
To think it has already been a year...
I greatly respected Lord Shigemori's accomplishments as a warrior.
Especially his speech in the Heiji Rebellion:
"The era is Heiji, the capital is Heian, and we bear the Heike name!
All contain 'hei,' which means 'peace'!
So let us pacify the enemy!"
I listened with rapture to the tales of him and how he roused his fighters.
My father would be pleased to hear that.
Did we come here to just flap our gums like that?
Or to hear the flute?
My apologies!
My brother can be a little negative sometimes.
Just ignore it.
Now then.
Room for one more?
Lord Shigehira!
Lord Shigehira, I am—
I know.
Truly?
I have heard of your accomplishments, Lord Shigehira!
I heard you performed magnificently in the battles at Uji River and Onjou Temple.
War talk will put a cloud over our fine moon.
Now, let me hear the famed Saeda.
Yes.
This place is so small that I hear that everyone calls it the "Cage Palace."
I will ask my father to let you move somewhere more spacious.
As if that darned Kiyomori would acquiesce.
For now, please patiently endure it a while longer.
Clarity of heart and mind arises at the sight of a collapsed temple in a field.
Oh, that's a verse of a song.
Yes.
If it is only for a while, I suppose even the Cage Palace could be fun.
I hear that the retired emperor feels unwell.
Oh, yes.
Perhaps the fatigue of the sudden relocation set in.
You do not need to trouble yourself with that.
It is no trouble.
I am sorry.
You have no reason to apologize.
Then I will say, "I am grateful."
You do not need to be... so overly considerate with me.
I hear you are even making visits to Father.
I have been making you take care of me ever since you joined me at my young age.
You were beautiful and intelligent.
I admired you.
I was embarrassed that I, in contrast, knew nothing of the world and could do nothing.
I am thankful for you.
It makes me happy to know you felt that way about me.
There, there.
He starts crying when he hears the waves.
And this is how Grandfather stared down the skull.
And there are apparently tons of other strange occurrences.
A pine tree withered in a single night,
and a mouse made a nest in the tail of the finest horse in the eastern provinces.
I heard it even bore its young there.
What on earth?
Brother is a scaredy-cat, so...
I would gladly take spirits over...
I hear your father is a skilled poet.
You should come to his next poetry contest.
I bet there are so many stories about spirits because it's way lonelier here.
People want to go back to the capital.
Is that woman you fancy still in the capital?
Aren't you good at poetry?
You could send a letter.
You may not understand, but relationships between men and women aren't so simple.
If I can't see her, my only option is to get a fine bride.
I can't believe you.
Excuse me.
Lord Kiyomori calls for you.
For Biwa?
That is correct.
What's this? Koremori and Sukemori too?
You two came out of concern for Biwa, right?
I came because Sukemori asked me to.
"Concern"?
You thought there's no telling what he might do to Biwa.
Give me a break. I only wanted to calm the spirits with some biwa music.
Oh, is that so?
I sleep quite soundly, so I never see any spirits.
I shall go ahead and retire now.
Now, will you play?
This is the music Shigemori listened to.
He was a boring man,
but he's the only one who never shrank from telling me something.
He still had so much left to accomplish.
The aristocrats would spend money they didn't have and do nothing.
When uprisings occurred in the provinces, they couldn't even quell them.
The world was run by useless nobles and haughty priests.
Status and authority were everything.
We changed that!
We brought air to a stifling world— through wealth and might!
What is it?
B-But we Heike are currently...
Whenever great change occurs, there will be those who oppose it.
There will be those who reject change.
That is why our clan, the Heike, must work together as one!
In this new capital, in this open port, we will build further wealth!
With that wealth, we'll also accrue might!
Thus, our new world will continue.
This is your father's skull, Lord Yoritomo.
My father's?
After the Heiji Rebellion, it lay covered in moss in front of the prison. I took possession of it.
How frustrated he must have been with no one to pray for him.
Is this truly him?
Prince Mochihito perished in his aim to bring down the Heike.
Yorimasa and Nakatsuna committed suicide.
You are the only one who can take on their mission!
The Heike claims it created a new world of warriors, but they just took the court's place!
Only their clan members prosper!
That is... true, but...
Just think how you could change things, Lord Yoritomo.
Unlike Kiyomori, I could promote warriors outside my clan and create a new world even while preserving the court.
Many would follow you for that!
But Lord Kiyomori spared my life.
To raise troops against him...
Worry not!
I visited Fukuhara and have come with a decree from Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
The Heike has taken to ignoring the court and governs selfishly.
Bring the Heike to ruin.
Drive off the enemy of the court.
Is this genuine?
It is indeed genuine.
Yoritomo is raising an army?!
He left Izu with his father-in-law, Houjou Tokimasa.
I exiled him and spared him from execution!
How dare he forget his debt to me!
However, the report is he engaged Heike forces at Mount Ishibashi and lost,
fleeing with seven or eight riders.
We must strike him before the other Genji rally to him.
Got it!
The commander will be Koremori!
But that's...
Isn't it too soon?
Shigemori had accomplished great feats at Koremori's age.
Koremori can do it too.
We will show them the power of the Heike!
Wait for the Genji here?
Would it not be better to cross the river and Mount Ashigara to fight in the open eastern fields?
I, Tadakiyo, have been entrusted with deciding strategy by Lord Kiyomori.
The soldiers and horses are tired.
As we are also short on provisions, it's better to wait here.
We have gathered 70,000 riders.
I believe it best to move carefully.
Report, sir.
The Genji have 200,000 riders!
T-Two hundred thousand?!
A month has passed since Yoritomo raised his army.
Genji warriors must have hastened from all over to join him.
Sanemori.
Yes, sir?
I hear you are familiar with the eastern warriors.
Yes, I often fought alongside the Genji.
What are they like?
They are fierce and spirited.
They never fall from their horses.
Whether their parent or child is shot, they ride over the corpse and continue fighting.
Oh, but none of their warriors can wield a powerful bow like you, right?
No, the Genji have many archers who can pierce two or three suits of armor in one shot.
The Genji of Kai and Shinano provinces know this area well.
I suggest you stay vigilant to avoid having them flank us.
Why did you say those things?
I could see the troops were unmotivated.
I wanted to rouse them.
Because their lives are easier, the Heike warriors have lost their past ferocity.
Hey, what is that?
Look!
How could this be?
This many soldiers...
In the river and the sea too!
The exchange of arrows will happen in the morning.
They won't attack tonight.
Get some rest.
In the middle of that night,
the waterfowl that were present in many flocks...
must have been startled by something.
The furious beating of their wings all at once sounded like a gale or thunder.
"Ah! The Genji draw near! If they surround us, we're finished!"
The Heike warriors scrambled in a mad dash to escape.
Why did they run without fighting?
They were startled by birds and fled all at once.
Really?
How disgraceful! It would be one thing if you had fought and lost!
Koremori, with Shigemori gone, you lost your backing,
so I wanted to give you some achievements!
That's why I made you commander!
Tadakiyo will be executed!
Exile Koremori to Kikaigashima!
Father! Lord Tadakiyo is a general who led the vanguard in the Hougen Rebellion!
He has helped us greatly!
I must speak as well.
Koremori is not yet used to war.
He is sure to accomplish great things later.
Our enemy is Yoritomo!
Let's unite as a clan to defeat Yoritomo!
He avoided exile, but I must admit I'm embarrassed as his brother.
Don't be.
When our time to go to war comes, let's fight bravely and heroically!
Don't be scared.
You're cute.
I'm Biwa.
Koremori.
I'm glad y—
I was scared.
When I thought about that number of soldiers attacking,
I was scared.
Koremori.
Tonight I'd like to watch you dance.
On the beach, like at Itsukushima.
No more dancing.
The capital changed.
I must change too!
I'll fight.
I have to fight!
As a Heike warrior!

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 07 [BD 1080p AAC] [0DE871EB]

Then if the ball goes into the goal area, you win.
And that's how gitcho works?
Apparently, the Nara monks have been amusing themselves by calling the ball Kiyomori's head and smacking it around.
That is horrible!
Would you like to hit it too?
Hit Kiyomori's head?!
No, no! The ball.
Yes!
Biwa, what are you...
Stare.
Come.
Good kitty.
You're clever.
Ah, the cat you took in at Fukuhara.
They say cats attach to homes more than people, so maybe it misses Fukuhara.
I have to say, I'm surprised the capital was moved back in just six months.
Yes,
but it just feels right here.
Emperor, are you cold?
Less than in Fukuhara.
When faced with Mount Hiei's petition, even Father had no choice but capitulate.
After all, no one wanted to move in the first place.
And my father...
I paid him a visit recently.
He is well.
And I have heard of an uprising among the monks of Koufuku Temple.
They suspect the Heike have returned to attack them.
Or so I am told.
You heard about that...
Yoritomo has raised an army.
It is no time to be fighting with a temple in Nara!
Kaneyasu, head to Koufuku Temple and tell them we have no intention of striking them.
Yes, my lord.
You and your men are to wear no armor and carry no bow or arrows.
Even if there is violence from their side,
you are not to use any force.
W-Wait! Please!
Avenge Onjou Temple!
They displayed their heads at Sarusawa Pond?!
Those damned monks!
Fine, then!
Father, please, calm your rage.
Don't be ridiculous!
They seized 60 unarmed men and cut off their heads!
Shigehira, you will be the commander. Go to Nara.
Is that clear?
Yes, Father.
Lord Shigehira.
Dawn has broken. Lead the war cry.
The monks of Koufuku Temple are armed only with swords.
If we attack with bows and arrows, we should rout them easily!
The battle will drag on through nightfall.
What is Shigehira doing?
The monks' resistance was fiercer than anticipated.
But they seem to have broken through the fortifications at Nara Hill and Hannya Temple.
Lord Shigehira, it has grown dark, and there is no telling where the monks are hiding.
Should we not light a fire?
But that is how Onjou Temple...
The monks' fervor affected morale.
If attacked in the dark, the soldiers will stand no chance.
Set fire to a house to obtain light.
But use great caution.
What is it?
What an odd wind.
The flames burned down not just Koufuku Temple, but they also took out Toudai Temple!
To think he'd set Nara ablaze entirely.
I only hope no divine wrath visits us.
Hey, there.
Hey, now!
This cat is just like you. I swear.
The Heike made many enemies for itself again.
But wasn't it the wind's fault the fire spread?
We couldn't have done anything.
And the monks were the source of all this trouble.
I am not so certain.
Brother, we are here today to visit Mother.
Try not to look so gloomy.
And nothing we say here will put Nara back the way it was.
Sukemori and his lady friend are back on good terms again, so that's all he cares about.
What?
This was a lonesome New Year's.
Yeah. Possibly because the Nara temples burned, there were no events held at all.
I went to ask Lord Shigehira to at least play the flute with me...
but I didn't even get to see him.
I suppose he must not be in the mood to play the flute right now.
Catch it.
Oh my! I am ever so sorry!
What's wrong?
The retired emperor is...
Mother, Father, what could be so important?
His Majesty is in very serious condition.
It is precisely because of his condition that we need to see you.
Then please speak quickly.
This concerns you and your position after His Majesty's demise.
What do you think of entering Emperor Go-Shirakawa's palace?
Emperor Antoku is still young.
It would be reassuring to have strong support behind his court, right?
I trust I can pursue this matter?
No.
You still wish to make me a tool for Father's ambitions?
Tokuko.
And to think you would bring this up while His Majesty yet lives.
I have served Emperor Takakura from the bottom of my heart.
No matter what may happen,
I have no desire to serve any other than His Majesty.
Should you wish to force the matter...
I will become a nun.
Okay, okay.
Put the blade away!
And then the idea was dropped.
You're so valiant, Tokuko.
It was the first time I opposed Father.
Biwa?
Biwa.
Biwa?
Biwa.
Biwa!
Biwa!
That's right.
I'll be all right.
I'll live my life protecting this child.
I'm sure His Majesty is watching over us.
He has to be.
It was just once, but he spoke kind words to me.
I am thankful for you.
At the time, I was disappointed because he didn't express love.
But my time at His Majesty's side wasn't pointless.
If only Tokuko could see this too.
Kiso no Yoshinaka?
Yes.
Technically he is a cousin of Yoritomo's.
Then he's Genji.
But it appears the situation in the family is complicated.
After Yoritomo's older brother killed his father, he fled to Kiso and grew up there.
And he raised an army in Shinano?
Opportunist.
He just went along with Yoritomo.
Everyone is defying me lately.
Even my own daughter.
To think that after building up the clan's glory, I would be disliked and despised by all.
Father, the time for such lamenting is after you strike down the Genji!
Quite right!
Those outside our clan are not people!
It is just as you two say.
Anyway,
it sure is hot today.
Hot? But it is winter.
Word is people siding with the Genji have cropped up in Kawachi, Kyushu, and Kumano.
Uncle Munemori has declared that he will become a commander and defeat them.
Lord Shigehira appears to have little appetite for battle since the fire in Nara.
Is Lord Munemori truly up to this task?
What?
Father is unwell?
Hot.
So hot.
Mother—
What on earth is going on?
His fever won't go down at all.
Who are you?
We have come by the order of King Enma.
King Enma?!
We have come for Kiyomori.
He burned temples and burned the Great Buddha,
and for that he is now being roasted in flames.
He shall sink to the bottom of the hell of uninterrupted suffering.
How dreadful!
Hot...
So hot...
Lord Kiyomori, if you have any final wishes...
Spread my ashes... at the beach at Fukuhara...
I will.
I have achieved all my desires in this life.
I regret... only... the fact that I never saw Yoritomo's head.
I need no halls or pagodas erected after I die.
Hold no service either.
Just send people after Yoritomo...
Cut off his head...
and hang it before my grave.
I wonder if...
Tokuko is still upset with me.
It's... on fire.
Emergency!
Lord Kiyomori's estate!
What?!
What happened?
Shigemori.
Kiyomori is...
Your pa is...
What should I do?
Those I know and those I don't—
everyone just dies.
And it won't stop here.
Is there anything I can do?
Koremori?
Tell me.
Father died, and now Grandfather has too!
What is going to happen to the Heike?
What happens to us?!
Say it!
Hold nothing back!
Brother!
Go back inside and rest.
I want to know!
The north, the east, the west—
they've all sided with the Genji.
Father is gone.
Grandfather is gone.
What do we do now?
This is why you flee at the sound of waterfowl.
Even if you knew, what could you do?
Nothing.
Brother is... just tired!
From the journey to Fukuhara and back for Grandfather's funeral.
Biwa, I apologize.
Biwa.
Leave.
I've always found the color of your eye creepy.
And I hated the sound of your biwa.
Brother, how can you—
We should have thrown you out after Father passed.
You don't belong here, and you haven't for some time!
Behave.
You hear me?
Leave before spring comes.
Brother!
Biwa...
I know.
I know Sukemori well.
At last, my confinement is lifted and I have returned.
I am sorry for the inconveniences you experienced.
I would have liked to make Kiyomori bow his head like that.
But even if he fell to the Avici hell, I bet he's clawing his way up.
Miko no Himegimi entered my palace.
Her mother is different, but she is your little sister.
I heard she was an Itsukushima priestess.
She's a beautiful girl, but she is always so quiet.
You would have made a good conversation partner.
I will continue to visit you when I can.
If you will permit it, I would visit Miko no Himegimi too.
Oh, you will?
She did end up in an unwanted marriage to an old man like me in your place.
An unwanted fate is not necessarily a misfortune.
I have seen many who met with misfortune by wanting too much.
They were slaves to their desires, never realizing what they lost in exchange.
I wish to be the flower that blooms even in mud.
Women have five obstructions.
Though they are far from reaching the pure land,
like the lotus flower blooming in mud,
even the dragon girl achieved enlightenment.
You may not see it,
but you have already been dragged down into an uninterrupted quagmire.

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 08 [BD 1080p AAC] [2E89F4E6]

You came all this way in the snow.
But both my sister Giou and Hotoke-Gozen are no longer...
I know.
For a time, we were able to live tranquil lives together.
Come to think of it,
a court dancer who visited my sister here mentioned something.
She said she met a woman with the same eye color as you.
She said the woman was once a court dancer.
Where is she now?
Let's send a letter to the court dancer who visited and ask.
You mustn't eat that, my emperor.
Let 's give that back to Lord Atsumori now.
Sorry.
So then Biwa didn't come to stay with you either, Lady Tokuko?
No.
I would have liked to see her.
But it may be best for her not to be involved with us anymore.
This is a cat?
It's so cute!
Thank you.
You're welcome, dear.
Sorry we only have such thin soup.
Where are you headed?
A place called Echigo.
Echigo?
I am told it is many mountains away from here.
My goodness.
Why are you going so far?
That's probably where Ma is.
Be careful, dear.
Fleeing Genji warriors may be lurking about.
Nearby at Sunomata River, there was a battle between the Genji and the Heike.
We lost.
Have some backbone!
We just need to win next time.
Can we?
In Kiso, fellow Genji Lord Yoshinaka is steadily gaining power.
You're the clan head. Don't be outdone.
Yoshinaka.
Huh?
Hey!
Yoritomo lost?!
Well, it seems the Heike didn't pursue much, so it wasn't a total rout.
I'll fight the Heike too!
Hey, Kanehira, whaddya think?
Knowing you, I believe you will.
Yoritomo and Yoshinaka.
I'll show the world that the Genji have two generals!
Well said!
When your father and Yoritomo's fought,
you were but a babe.
I took you in my arms and fled to Kiso.
I never dreamed we would defeat the Heike together!
Truly.
I, Tomoe, shall fight alongside you!
Things have gotten exciting, huh, Yoshinaka?
Sure have!
Thanks to Shigehira and Koremori's efforts,
Yoritomo lost the battle at Sunomata River.
However, Yoshinaka subjugated Shinano and is attempting to take Hokuriku next.
Brother, you must act quickly!
Me?
With Father gone, you are the head of the Heike in both name and reality!
I'll make my way to Hokuriku with troops.
Shigehira, what do you think?
Koremori is correct,
but I would wait and observe for the time being.
Yes. And the governor of Echigo was supposed to kill Yoshinaka, but then he suddenly died.
I'm afraid the governor of Echigo, Jou Sukenaga, has passed away.
On his way to attack Yoshinaka, a voice was heard in the sky.
It said, "Apprehend him who allies with the Heike, burners of the Great Buddha."
Then he suddenly fell from his horse.
An important man from the so-called Echigo Taira.
Among his concubines, there should have been a former court dancer with an eye like mine.
Oh, perhaps you mean Lady Asagi?
I heard she had lived in the capital.
Could I meet her?
I heard that after Lord Sukenaga passed, she left Echigo to return to the capital.
No way...
After I came all the way to Echigo...
Come on! Drink, everyone! Drink!
Koremori.
The warriors of Ecchuu, Kaga, and Echizen are hastening to Kiso no Yoshinaka's side one after the other.
And yet our clan head Lord Munemori sits here in revelry!
At this rate, Yoshinaka will march on the capital before Yoritomo does!
We must absolutely prevent that!
A winding stream party?
Lord Munemori is throwing one.
Apparently, you have to compose a poem before the sake dish floats past you.
So Lord Atsumori and I are trying it.
But at this moment, Lord Koremori is leading troops to battle against Kiso no Yoshinaka.
With his exploits lately, it's like Brother is a different person.
Word is he took Hiuchi Castle in Echizen.
I wish I could have participated too.
The winding stream party seems more fun to me.
Stare.
What?
Brother is about face the final battle with Yoshinaka.
I'd just rather use my head than my strength.
You do not seem to be using it.
What was that?!
Stop, you two!
Let's pray for Lord Koremori's success.
We have 100,000. They have 50,000.
With the way Brother is now, there is nothing to fear!
Hear me! I am Kiso no Yoshinaka, of the Minamoto bloodline!
Hear m—
Hear me!
I am Koremori, son of Taira no Shigemori!
I'm headed for ya tomorrow!
Wait for me!
I had heard Yoshinaka was an unrefined man,
but he is surprisingly courteous.
I guess even the monkey of Kiso observes some ceremony.
This is the man who took over Hokuriku.
Do not underestimate him.
We will advance our forces as soon as dawn breaks.
We are not well acquainted with these mountains.
Our large army would fight best on open, level ground.
Lord Koremori is exactly right.
Then let's rest up for tomorrow.
Th-This is...
S-Surprise attack!
Prepare for battle!
Make haste!
Hurry! Get ready!
That sure went well.
How brilliant to move 10,000 riders to their flank!
Those well-mannered fools would never think of this tactic.
Now we drive them into the valley.
Let's go!
The Heike turned around to see...
white banners, like floating clouds.
From in front and behind, the enemy closed in.
Soldier and steed plunged down and piled up, plunged and piled.
One dreadfully deep valley, filled in with 70,000 Heike!
The rocks sprang with blood, and the corpses formed mounds.
Seventy thousand soldiers fell into the valley?!
What does that mean?
Now what happens?!
Yoshinaka will march into the capital.
That was...
That was Hell!
Hurry! Yoshinaka is coming!
Move it!
Leave the capital?
Take the Emperor, and the Three Sacred Treasures as well!
It appears Enryaku Temple will side with the Genji,
so we lack sufficient forces to oppose Yoshinaka.
Oh, but there are many Heike allies in the west!
It seems best to regroup and then face Yoshinaka.
Emperor, let's get ready for an outing.
An outing where?
We will start with Fukuhara.
Perhaps you do not remember, but you have been there before.
I decline.
My, but trips are such fun.
Then shall your mother and I go without you?
I will go.
Prepare at once!
Pack only essential items.
Sukemori.
You were still seeing Lady Iko?
Yes.
Lady Iko chooses to remain in the capital.
I hear many others are leaving behind wives or children.
Even though the city will soon be the Genji's capital.
No.
The capital is where the Emperor is.
It does not have to be here.
If the Emperor and I can live there in peace and tranquility,
any place is enough.
And the Emperor?
He departed safely.
I hear Emperor Go-Shirakawa was not seen with them.
It would appear he snuck out of his estate last night.
Go to Fukuhara with the Heike?!
Give me refuge here in Kurama.
We aren't fighting Yoshinaka?
Even if we repelled Yoshinaka, the monks of Mount Hiei would attack.
Yoritomo might come as well.
If we fight together, we can defeat the likes of the Genji!
Is Koremori still not here?
We have to leave now.
Father,
you will come back for us soon, right?
We'll be waiting for you.
Brother.
Please make haste.
The others have left.
Sorry.
If I hadn't lost so many warriors at Kurikara Pass...
This is all my fault!
I cannot face the clan.
I have no right to leave with them!
It's not your fault, Brother!
Besides, we will raise another army in the west.
We aren't just leaving the capital!
Kiyotsune.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
Light it up!
Surely we don't need to burn it.
As if I would just let the Genji have it!
By the time they enter the capital, 50,000 estates will be reduced to ash!
This is awful.
I didn't expect Lord Kiyomori's precious Fukuhara to be this run down.
It's near the ocean, and the wind is strong.
What's more, it's been abandoned for three years.
We'll stay here tonight, and tomorrow we'll sail to Dazaifu.
Dazaifu...
I suppose even Yoshinaka would not come after us that far away.
Emperor, this is your first time staying somewhere like this, isn't it?
Will there not be ghosts?
If there are, I, Tomomori, shall apprehend them!
I hope you will grant me your aid, Emperor.
Very well!
That's the spirit!
Lord Kiyotsune.
Lord Atsumori.
I thought I might find you here.
Come to think of it, we played here.
Yes, along with Lord Shigehira.
It feels like an eternity ago.
Lord Kiyotsune...
Before we left the capital, Koremori was crying and blaming himself.
As if this were all his fault.
Our clan was driven from the capital and has to stay in this desolate place.
Why is this happening to us?
Lord Kiyotsune, please pull yourself together.
Now we will join the fight!
Our 100,000 troops now number only 7,000.
How can we fight Yoshinaka or Yoritomo?
I choose to fight!
Isn't that how Lord Kiyomori and his father climbed to the top?
Let's take your mind off it.
Not tonight, Lord Atsumori.
The sound of a flute in this desolation would be too sad.
So the place Father staked his dreams on is to be ash too.
The Heike has allies in the west!
To Dazaifu!
To think we'd see white Genji banners in the capital.
It's been, what, 20 years?
Please, give that back!
Shut up!
I'll teach you to behave!
Mercy!
Please let me go!
Come on. Go inside!
What's this?
Get off!
Time to run!
My biwa! My cat!
Don't worry!
Stop!
Hey, just drop it.
Dammit.

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 09 [BD 1080p AAC] [9844B864]

Wow!
Thanks for the meal.
And for saving me.
Who are you?
We're court dancers.
I'm Shizuka.
Tsuki.
Akari!
Biwa.
Do you play the biwa?
Play it.
Play for us!
Please!
I'm so sweaty!
It's cold!
Come join us, Biwa!
Biwa.
Hey, if you have nowhere to go, why not come with us?
Where?
I dunno. All over.
Wherever there are people to watch our dances.
I just got back after a long journey.
Things seem dangerous in the capital.
Everyone's saying it's worse with Kiso no Yoshinaka than it was with the Heike.
What a strange color.
Though I have seen someone else with the same eye color.
Where?!
In Tango Province.
I met her last time I was there.
She supposedly used to be a court dancer too.
Kiso no Yoshinaka's soldiers ransack people's homes and set upon any woman they see.
No!
Everyone risked their lives in battle.
That deserves a suitable reward! Right, Kanehira?
Yeah. Sure does.
How dare he shield himself with the title I gave!
I need to have him defeat the Heike quickly,
but the Heike have the Emperor and the Three Sacred Treasures in their possession!
Even if it is temporary, such a plain place is not fit to be an imperial residence.
Please make do for now, Mother.
Dazaifu is an office for administration of Kyushu.
I hear Emperor Go-Shirakawa has had a new emperor accede to the throne.
I hear he is a child of the late Emperor Takakura and Lady Shokuko and is called Emperor Go-Toba.
For there to be two emperors...
No.
There is but one emperor.
Brother! Lord O—
Lord Ogata has received a decree to pursue the Heike.
What?!
You don't mean... he'll attack Dazaifu?
Lord Ogata once served Shigemori.
Let's send Sukemori as a messenger.
Koremori has not been reliable since his defeat by Yoshinaka at Kurihara.
Lord Sukemori, what a fine man you've become.
Lord Ogata, I am informed that you are gathering troops to attack my clan.
As I have been so ordered by Emperor Go-Shirakawa...
You served my father, did you not?
Believe me, I have no desire to point weapons at the Heike.
Thus, please!
I beg that you leave Dazaifu!
He said to leave Dazaifu?!
He said that he could not oppose the palace.
I can't believe this.
First we flee the capital, then Fukuhara...
And now we must flee Dazaifu too?
If we don't, he'll probably attack.
But that's...
We won't run with our tail between our legs.
We must fight!
Kiyotsune, what're you spacing out over here for?
You have to get ready for battle.
I can't believe that even someone who once served Father would attack the clan.
That's just how the world works!
You have to join the stronger side or suffer.
What about loyalty, uprightness, and obligation, then?!
Do they...
really mean nothing?
You think the Heike had those things?
Enough.
Just get ready.
They didn't put up a proper fight and just fled?
They did attack Lord Ogata's estate, but they must have realized they stood no chance.
The Heike are said to be heading to the harbor at Hakozaki on foot.
Lady Tokuko, are you all right?
Thank you.
I am fine.
Please prioritize yourselves right now.
Lady Tokuko...
We will make it to Hakozaki alive!
Mother, you are soaking wet.
Where are we going in this terrible rain?
Somewhere you can live in peace, Emperor.
Let's go.
Things will be better soon.
Lord Kiyotsune.
Pick yourself up.
I shall walk with you.
Walk?
Yes!
How long must we walk?
How far?
Everyone is siding with the Genji and betraying us.
We are fish,
caught in a net.
Lord Kiyotsune...
Have heart.
We swore together that we would fight,
bravely and heroically!
Lord Kiyotsune.
Why don't we find some shelter from the rain?
I'll play my flute for y—
I'm sorry.
The sea really is nice.
We don't have this at the capital.
But it's the capital.
It's not the middle of nowhere like this.
True.
What's wrong?
You don't like the sea?
I hear that the Heike are adrift at sea.
That seems to be the case.
After all the influence they boasted at the capital.
We finally reached Hakozaki's harbor after all that walking.
Yet every time we try to land, the enemy appears.
We have to spend another night on these boats.
Fish caught in a net...
It's something Lord Kiyotsune said.
Are you sure you don't want to be on his boat?
Lord Kiyotsune just seems so different now...
This flute playing...
It's Lord Kiyotsune!
Biwa?
Lord Kiyotsune is playing his flute!
I'll join in!
Kiyotsune!
Lord Kiyotsune! Lord Kiyotsune!
Kiyotsune!
Quick! We must save him!
Biwa!
Not again.
It happened again.
First Shigemori, and then Kiyomori...
Yet I can do nothing!
Oh, Kiyotsune!
I see it.
I can only see it.
I can't change it!
Were you crying all night?
Of course.
You finally get to see her, after all.
Hey, it's not nice to laugh!
Ma!
You are just as I saw.
All this time, I saw you.
Oh, Asagi.
Asagi?
That's your name.
Pa never called me that.
You're named after the color of your eye, which he feared.
And now I am called by that name.
Lady Asagi...
I longed to see you in person.
If you saw me this whole time, why didn't you come see me in person?
I abandoned you and your father and went to live with the Echigo Heike.
In that case,
I shouldn't have come.
Forgive me!
No, you don't have to forgive me.
Thank you for coming to see a mother like me, Asagi.
It's Biwa.
My name is Biwa.
Biwa...
I couldn't do anything for you,
but I was always praying for you.
Praying?
And for your pa too.
"May he rest in peace."
"May he rest quietly."
"Please..."
"Please..."
"May he rest in peace. May he rest quietly."
Even if you can't do anything,
pray.
You're leaving now?
I've decided to witness the Heike's fate.
I'll witness it and put my prayers into my biwa playing.
I found something I can do.
Thanks, Ma.
I'll be praying too.
That you get to live quietly here.
Please, please, be well.
Word is that the Heike, who had been wandering at sea,
defeated Lord Kiso no Yoshinaka's army at Mizushima.
They won?
In the battle at Mizushima, the Heike's commander Tomomori...
ordered his men to place planks between their boats,
and he is said to have fought as if he ruled the ocean.
And what of Lord Yoshinaka?
Emperor Go-Shirakawa ordered him to attack the Heike, but...
I want you to make me commander-in-chief.
Is he crazy?
Emperor Go-Shirakawa was infuriated and employed warrior monks to attack Yoshinaka, but...
I ran the Heike out of the capital!
Lord Yoshinaka burned the palace and confined both him and Emperor Go-Toba.
Emperor Go-Shirakawa seeks your assistance.
Goodness...
What's more, it is said that Yoshinaka intends to attack you and make himself head of the Genji.
So then should I attack Yoshinaka?
Of course!
Who should—
Make your younger brother Noriyori the commander,
and why not send Lord Yoshitsune?
You're really going west?
Yeah.
Although Yoshinaka has...
Dammit. Dammit!
Kanehira!
...been killed by the Genji of Kamakura,
the same Genji are supposed to be headed west to attack the Heike next!
I have to go.
Thanks for everything.
Take care.
I'll be in the capital for a while.
Hopefully the Genji of Kamakura aren't ruffians.
Who is the Heike's commander?
One known as Taira no Sukemori, but he has already fled.
The remaining soldiers are holed up at Ichinotani.
It's time to show your mettle!
Shoot! Shoot!
The Heike are fighting in three groups under Tomomori, Yukimori, and Tadanori.
We'll launch a surprise attack from here.
Lord Yoshitsune?!
The wild deer may pass through here, but...
If a deer can do it, then so can a horse.
Quite right!
You'll be all right.
If we hold here—
Brother!
The back has already fallen!
What?!
Yoshitsune's army descended from Hiyodorigoe and attacked from behind.
Then the soldiers will come here too!
We'll head to the beach and board our boats.
Run!
Hurry! The boats will leave!
We swore together that we would fight,
bravely and heroically!
To show our backs to the enemy...
Lord Atsumori?
Go on ahead!
You there! I take you to be a commander of renown!
You would show your back to the enemy?
He beckons with his fan raised.
Thus beckoned, Atsumori turns back.
Atsumori...
Ready to take his foe's head, he pushes the helmet away to see...
a boy of 16 or 17, features possessed of beauty.
He takes pity and is struck by a desire to spare his foe...
when he sees coming up behind him...
Just take my head already!
Taking my head should bring you renown too.
I swore...
I swore...
that I...
admirably...
as a warrior...
I swear.
I'll pass down your story.

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 10 [BD 1080p AAC] [8D8E9B47]

It was here in Fukuhara that I found you.
Koremori...
Lord Koremori's head was not paraded.
It appears that he was not present at Ichinotani, due to illness.
So then...
He is in Yashima.
Is this "Yashima" far from the capital?
Will Father recover from his illness?
I wish he would come back for us soon.
A letter arrived from Shigehira.
I heard he was captured while escaping from Ichinotani.
He's alive?!
It seems he was captured and paraded through the city.
How awful.
What did Shigehira write?
He asks us to return the Three Sacred Treasures.
He says that is Emperor Go-Shirakawa's wish.
Munemori.
If we send the treasures to the capital, will Shigehira be returned?
Mother, I understand exactly how you feel, but...
Even if we return the treasures, Shigehira may not be returned.
But Tomomori—
Mother.
Let us protect Emperor Antoku here.
Where the Emperor is becomes the capital.
They decided not to return the Three Sacred Treasures.
Then what will become of Lord Shigehira?
He is to be sent to Kamakura.
I see.
As things stand, the war will resume.
The Genji—Yoshitsune will attack.
I am scared.
You still...
Brother, you've been a scaredy-cat since we were kids...
I know I will fall...
Fall straight into Hell.
It is all over.
The Heike will end.
When Kiyotsune jumped...
this must have been how he felt.
I must do something so it does not end.
Try to think of a plan too, Brother.
I present Lord Taira no Shigehira.
The one who burned Nara?
The fires we set to see in the dark of night were fanned by the wind...
As I was in command at the time,
that sin was mine and mine alone.
That I have been captured and dishonored in this fashion is but karmic retribution.
It is my just desert for the battle and conflict, for destroying others and attempting to save only myself.
I have been made well aware of that.
What concerns you so?
The tree peony.
Do you mean Lord Shigehira?
Indeed, I had heard him likened to the tree peony.
The man was truly like that flower.
Do you hope to spare him?
You are here now because Lord Kiyomori spared your life.
And you are about to end the Heike.
If you were to spare Lord Shigehira, nay, any of the Taira clan...
One will rise to end the Genji?
Pity might move many to serve a truly genteel flower raised in the capital.
Lord Koremori has vanished?!
He doesn't mean to save only his own skin, does he?
Write to him!
And write what, Sukemori?
Write a letter to Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
Lady Tokuko, you were on good terms with His Majesty.
Yes, and write what exactly?
Implore him to spare us!
If he decrees that the Genji no longer need to attack the Heike...
Lady Tokuko!
I am afraid he is the same as my father.
He does not easily forgive those who threatened him.
Then we just wait for the end—
I will protect him.
Whatever befalls us,
I shall at least protect the Emperor.
This seems like neither a dream nor reality, Lord Koremori.
Why did you run away from Yashima?
I wish to become a monk.
Do you harbor no attachments to the world?
I considered seeing my wife and children one last time.
But if I enter the capital, I may be taken prisoner.
And after you take your vows?
I no longer see any merit to living.
I want to put an end to the running, the fear, the battles.
I-Is...
Is that a shameful and cowardly thing?
I also came here to escape.
I became a monk to escape the pain of being separated from the woman I loved.
Some may think that too trivial a reason.
However, the suffering one person can endure may be unbearable for another.
Numerous misfortunes have befallen you, Lord Koremori.
How you must have suffered...
Koremori!
Biwa!
Biwa!
You're okay!
You could see this, couldn't you?
Koremori, I know I can't change this,
but couldn't you change your name and live quietly somewhere?
I have to go now.
Your eyes are like Father's.
They're beautiful.
Koremori,
I shall tell your story too.
My story?
All I ever did was run away.
I know you very well.
I want to appreciate you.
Then maybe my life had some merit.
Namu Amida Butsu... Namu Amida Bu...
Namu Amida Bu... Namu Amida Bu...
Namu Amida Bu... Namu Amida Bu...
Namu Amida Bu...
Koremori.
You were a scaredy-cat to the end.
We're dancing before Emperor Go-Shirakawa?
That's right.
Maybe a beautiful nobleman will fall in love with one of us!
Well, don't get too distracted. Focus on your dancing.
Okay!
Your Majesty.
Lord Yoshitsune is here.
That darn Sukemori is begging for his life.
Use this to light firewood.
As you wish.
Why, Lord Yoshitsune!
I am truly grateful for your invitation to the cherry blossom banquet today.
How are things in the capital?
There is no particular unrest.
Everyone is greeting a mild spring.
I am glad I entrusted the capital to you.
You don't deploy bowl-cut boys like the Heike did,
nor do you commit violence like Yoshinaka.
It is my duty to protect the city in which you and Emperor Go-Toba reside.
Enjoy yourself today.
Lord Sukemori, did you need something?
Did anything arrive from the capital?
Such as?
A letter from Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
None has arrived.
Any others?
Other what?
Did any other letters arrive?
You're not very attentive.
That must be why you didn't stop Koremori from jumping into the ocean.
You just shamelessly came back here.
Whereas the others all jum—
Never mind. You can leave now.
I am terribly sorry.
Was I born to have fun?
Was I born to play games?
When I hear the shouts of children playing,
then even I am stirred.
Biwa?
Wh-Why are you here?
I brought this from Lady Iko in the capital.
Huh?
She was worried about you.
Wh-What're you looking at?
You did your job. Now go!
Oh, wait!
I'll write a reply, so—
I'm staying.
I'm staying here.
Do you understand the situation we're in?
No, no, no—
I decided to witness it.
To witness your future, and the Heike's.
To witness the clan's end after we got high and mighty?
I want to pass down the story.
I'm sure I don't even appear in the story.
You do.
What?
Shigemori, Koremori, you, Kiyotsune, and Atsumori—all of you do.
Your first appearance will likely be the incident with the regent.
The incident with Lord Motofusa?
I was still a dumb kid then.
I met all of you and knew you.
So I will just tell what I saw and heard.
Biwa!
His name is Neko.
Neko!
Emperor.
Biwa, it's so good to—
Tokuko.
I saw my ma.
You did?
I'm glad for you.
She never stopped worrying about me.
I see.
That's what it means to be a mother, right?
Wait!
Be my pet cat!
I'm afraid that can't be.
A local fisherman will take Neko.
The Genji army has headed west with Lord Noriyori in command.
At a loss about how to proceed, Lord Noriyori has retreated to Aki Province.
My, the Heike are so stubborn.
Tomomori of the Taira is a capable commander.
Should I send Yoshitsune?
Shizuka, are you not hungry?
She's worried about Lord Yoshitsune.
It must be nice, to have the affections of the Genji commander!
It'll be fine.
Lord Yoshitsune has a reputation for skilled battle.
The Genji army is attacking!
They crossed the sea on the night of a storm?!
There are stars flying all over!
Emperor.
Fire!
Lord Yoshitsune has at last driven the Heike from Yashima toward the sea.
Splendid work.
I hear the Heike continued out to sea, but Yoshitsune's warriors...
They number only 70 riders?
And so the Heike turned back.
However, Yoshitsune drove them back out to sea once more.
In a fit of rage, the Heike challenged the Genji to hit a fan.
A man known as Nasu no Yoichi...
fired an arrow straight into that target.
Seizing the momentum, Lord Yoshitsune subdued the Heike's fragmented forces.
Now they should finally return the Three Sacred Treasures.
I shall send a letter, and—
I'm afraid that...
Eliminate the flowers, the buds, even the seeds.
...the Genji mean to choke the life out of the Heike and end them.
They have sailed for Dannoura.
The Heike boats numbered 1,000.
The Genji boats numbered 3,000.
The two forces faced each other and shouted their battle cries.
The cries were thought to have reached Brahma above
and startled the Dragon Sea God below.
Today is the final battle!
Do not let your hearts retreat!
Value not your lives!
Value your renown!

▶ [Commie] Heike Monogatari - 11 [BD 1080p AAC] [192128A3]

The waves are strong!
Put your backs into rowing so we aren't carried away!
The wind is also a bit strong.
We number 3,000!
They have only 1,000!
We Genji have the advantage!
We Heike surpass them in fighting at sea!
Do not falter!
Shoot!
A shrike?
It is an adorable bird, but they say it impales its prey on branches.
I imagine that about now,
the Genji warriors are meeting the Heike warriors with the same fate.
What clear skies!
Perhaps a sign that the Three Sacred Treasures shall return to the capital.
Board their boat!
We also shall follow Lord Tomomori!
Push on my command!
Don't push!
I'm gonna fall!
Ready, push!
Do not falter!
Row like mad!
Force them into the whirlpool!
The tide is with us!
Attack! Attack!
How do things look?
We have the advantage.
Hand me a bow!
Mother, I wish to see the battle.
It is too dangerous.
But I wish to see it!
You can see it if you won't cry should an arrow strike you.
It's no fun to be in pain.
That's it.
Keep going! Crush the Genji!
Here we go!
Lord Yoshitsune, our boats cannot advance in these currents!
It may be best to retreat!
We possess superior numbers.
In time, the Heike forces should tire.
Ride it out, my lord!
What's this?
What is that?
They're...
Dolphins?
Lord Munemori!
A-According to the diviners,
if those dolphins swim to the Genji side, the Genji shall fall.
But if they continue on to our side...
This feels like old times.
Our banners...
The winds have shifted...
Stay away! Stay away!
Stay away!
This hairstyle looks good on you.
The wind favors us!
Shoot their rowers with arrows!
Shoot their rowers!
Shoot their rowers!
We're being swept back!
The current has shifted!
Push them back!
Lord Tomomori!
Lord Yoshitsune! There are boats approaching!
Lord Yoshitsune! We have come to aid the Genji!
The momentum is ours!
Attack! Attack!
This is bad! I'm going to Mother's boat!
Lord Munemori!
Munemori, what is the situation?
I-It is still uncertain.
Brother.
What happens to the Emperor if we should lose?
The Emperor would probably be taken to the capital to conduct a formal abdication to Emperor Go-Toba.
So his life will be spared.
But then...
But then all our efforts to protect the Emperor and the Three Sacred Treasures would be meaningless!
Mother.
To hand either over at this point...
What was the point of all our drifting, then?
Of all that we endured?
I said the outcome is not yet certain!
Survival is hollow.
What awaits is a life more miserable than this one.
The answer is clear.
Mother!
How will the Emperor be treated once robbed of his position?
And you.
If captured, you may well be forcibly married to some Genji.
Do you still insist you can protect the Emperor?
Lord Yoshitsune, the Emperor is not on a Chinese ship.
One who switched sides from the Heike has informed us.
I see.
Listen well!
The Emperor is not on a Chinese ship!
Attack the small boats!
Lord Tomomori, they have begun attacking the small boats!
Who has betrayed us?!
Lord Tomomori...
So this is the end...
Head for Tokuko's boat!
Lord Tomomori!
Oh, Tomomori!
You're safe!
Brother.
Mother...
What of the battle?
You ladies will soon behold a rare sight: men from the east!
What is going on?
I will not be taken by the enemy.
Come, Emperor.
Where do you mean to take me?
A beautiful place called the Land of Bliss.
Mother...
Bring forth the Treasures.
I shall go buy you some time.
There! That's the boat!
The little emperor, in dark green imperial robes,
hair tied in loops at his temples,
tears welling in his eyes,
pressed his small, delicate hands together and first prayed eastward.
Afterward he turned west and recited a prayer.
Before long, the Lady Nun took him in her arms.
"There is a capital beneath the waves too!" she said to comfort him.
Oh, how sad that the spring breeze of impermanence...
so quickly scatters the flower's petals.
Oh, how pitiful that the rough waves of life and death...
sank his personage beneath them.
Tokuko!
Tokuko!
Tokuko!
Not yet.
Your story isn't over.
Empress Dowager!
What?!
That was His Majesty's mother!
Quickly! Pull her up!
I have Her Majesty!
No!
Do not touch me!
Tokuko!
Tokuko, it is not your time!
Your future continues!
No!
Let me go with them!
This eye sees the future!
You continue to live for everyone's sake.
This eye I inherited from Shigemori!
I see them, Tokuko!
Everyone.
The Emperor's little hands... are pressed together...
And the Emperor?
I'm afraid he...
I see...
I have seen all that I must.
My word...
Follow me, all who hold the Heike name dear!
Namu Amida Bu.
You were once an emperor's wife. For you to live in such a shabby place...
Do you not feel constricted?
At one time I did feel that way.
However, this too is a welcome occurrence for my passage into the afterlife.
That is how I feel about it now.
I was born Taira no Kiyomori's daughter,
became the Emperor's wife,
bore His Majesty's child,
enjoyed the beauty of the passing seasons,
knowing neither hunger nor cold...
To be placed in such glory and prosperity,
it felt as if I were in Heaven.
I fled the capital,
my clan spent the days in battle,
and while at sea I could not even drink water.
All living things must perish.
I even saw my child's life extinguish before my eyes...
I have been put through every form of suffering in the human world.
There is not a single one I do not understand.
I wished to claim the Three Sacred Treasures, not your whole clan's lives...
Your Majesty,
there is apparently a Dragon Palace Castle at the bottom of the sea.
I have dreamt of it.
My lady.
I hope this is to your liking.
This is delicious!
I am glad to hear that.
How can one overcome suffering?
Pray.
I too have feelings I still cannot forget.
And so I simply,
I simply press my hands together and pray.
I think of the ones I love,
and I pray for their happiness in the next world.
That small act is what I can do.
And the person who taught me that is also praying for the Heike and passing down our story.
Our clan shall live on in that story.
That story begins like this...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message
that all existence is impermanent.
The sal tree's blossoms turn white to grieve him:
a reminder that all who flourish must fall.
Indulgence does not last.
It shall but be like a spring night's dream.
The dauntless shall meet their end.
They shall be as mere dust before the wind.

Sukemori,
reflect upon your discourtesy toward Lord Motofusa and conduct yourself accordingly in Ise.
Yes, Father.
Mother...
Must we really send Sukemori to Ise?
He already received punishment for the impoliteness he showed His Highness the regent.
It was not him who ordered 300 riders to attack ten men!
They say it was so much that it made Motofusa cry.
I have dismissed everyone who attacked Lord Motofusa.
I also sent Sukemori to Ise.
You really are a bore, you know.
As a result of this incident, the ranks of those who are not amused by the Heike have grown.
All right. I get it.
I know.
On account of the trouble I caused you, I'll get you a gift.
How about one of those lanterns you're so fond of?
The word is that you put up 48 lanterns in your estate.
Some call you Lantern Lord.
Are you that frightened of the dark?
Hey, baldy!
What would a gaudy man like you know of the dark's terror?!
Biwa!
Remember this:
darkness always lies just ahead!
Now you are amusing.
H-Hey!
Tokiko!
What are you doing?
Ow, ow, ow.
A warrior imitating the nobles?
Do you intend to set your hands on Lord Shigemori's child?
Let me go!
Let me go, Shige—
Oh. Sorry.
Brother?
Tokuko?
Father said he wanted to keep you at his side?
But my brother turned him down, right?
Thank goodness.
This is my fault.
I made the request that he bring you with him.
Since my little sister Moriko married six years ago, I've had no one I can open up to.
Moriko became Lord Fujiwara no Motozane's bride at the age of nine.
Even though Lord Motozane already had a five-year-old son with another woman.
A political marriage.
But in the end, Lord Motozane passed two years after marrying Moriko.
Moriko was a widow at age 11.
What's more, she became a parent to his son.
Oh, Lord Motozane was the older brother of Lord Motofusa.
So Moriko essentially acquired lands and assets of the Fujiwara clan.
Motofusa's displeasure at that might be the reason Sukemori was treated so badly.
In the end, Father thinks of us only as his pawns.
Well, not just us...
It looks like I have to get married now too.
I'm 16, marrying a boy a whole six years my junior.
That's really young.
And get this. His father is...
My throat hurts.
Father, it stinks.
Your father is drinking garlic chive water because he feels unwell.
Is that not because he was singing all through the night?
I could hear him even from my room.
When I spy a lovely maiden,
I wish us to be vines twisted together as one.
Contemporary court ballads are like a mirror that reflects the world in the present!
Wanting to be a vine twisted with a beautiful woman...
What value is there in a mirror that reflects such a thing?
Norihito!
Excuse me, Father.
Shigeko!
That boy has gotten so mouthy since his coming-of-age ceremony was scheduled!
But is it not rather reassuring that he can speak his mind?
It means he will be no one's puppet.
Not even when he is wed to Lord Kiyomori's daughter.
Kiyomori's daughter, huh...
Norihito requires powerful backing.
He needs the strength of the Heike.
But what if Kiyomori ends up pulling the strings?
Then that will be a situation for you to handle, my lord.
To put it in musical terms, Lord Kiyomori is the snail.
The snail?
If he does not do as you say...
Ah, then I kick him!
Dance, little snail, dance! For if you don't...
I shall have the foals and calves kick you.
Thanks for listening to me for so long, Biwa.
Come visit again.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Ma?
Ma!
Or not.
What is your name?
Biwa.
Is your mother a court dancer too?
That's what Pa said.
I see.
That's Lady Giou and her younger sister Lady Ginyo.
They're here for Hotoke-Gozen to chat with.
Oh...
Well, you see, at one time, Giou was Father's favorite.
But after he began to favor a court dancer named Hotoke-Gozen,
he kicked Lady Giou out.
Yet she started to be summoned here again since Hotoke-Gozen seems lonely with no one to talk to.
There's no telling what Father would do to her if she refused.
"Lantern Lord," huh?
The dark has frightened me since I was a child.
Perhaps because of what I see.
What frightens you, Biwa?
The future.
The future frightens me.
I see.
Though the future and the dark may be frightening,
this present moment is beautiful.
You resign as Major Counselor?
Because of the attack on the regent?
Aren't you supposed to handle Norihito's coming-of-age ceremony?
Yes.
I ask your leave to have my brother Munemori take over in my stead.
You're cleaning the mess up thoroughly.
You fired the men who assaulted Motofusa,
you confined your son, the cause of the commotion, in Ise,
and now you take responsibility too.
It is only proper, my lord.
I acknowledge the trouble I have caused you.
What is Kiyomori doing?
Devoting himself to building lodging in Fukuhara?
Yes. But he occasionally visits the capital.
I hear he has taken a liking to a dancer.
Despite entering monastic life, he seems very attached to worldly affairs.
I did it in order to abdicate the throne to Norihito.
But it seems Kiyomori shaved his head to avoid responsibilities and do as he pleases.
Ultimately I serve not my father but you, my lord, as well as Lord Norihito.
Your turn, my lord.
That Shigemori is one upstanding fellow.
There is a reason he is referred to as the conscience of the Heike.
He is a renowned warrior. In the Heiji Rebellion...
The era is Heiji, the capital is Heian, and we bear the Heike name!
All contain "hei," which means "peace"!
So let us pacify the enemy!
...it's said that's how he roused his comrades.
Yes, but while he is the eldest son, Shigemori is...
Not Tokiko's child?
Last year, when Fujiwara no Narichika had a dispute with Enryaku Temple
and the temple marched to demand Narichika's exile,
I ordered Shigemori to fight. But...
As I am under orders, I have come prepared for battle.
However, I humbly ask that this course against the monks be reconsidered.
It was such a good opportunity to chip away at that bothersome temple's power.
Despite my orders, the Heike must not have wanted to make an enemy of Enryaku Temple.
And the one behind that was...
Still, my lord, Shigemori will eventually be leader not just in name.
Shigemori places his loyalty firmly with you.
And if you welcome his little sister Tokuko, the might of the Heike will wind up protecting Norihito.
That's right. Cast the dice.
Three things defy my plans: these dice,
the waters of the Kamo River,
and Enryaku Temple's monks.
Well expressed indeed.
Now, what will happen with the Heike?
Biwa, are you going to Rokuhara again?
Sukemori is in Ise.
I'll have no one to play with.
I'll play after I return.
Pretentious.
It's just birds.
I know.
I was just startled.
Biwa!
Tokuko!
She's here.
Giou.
That was pretty!
It was so, so pretty!
Your notes were lovely as well, Biwa.
There's plenty more.
Listen, Biwa.
My mother is also a court dancer.
She has heard of a fellow dancer whose eyes are different colors, like yours.
One that supposedly had a child.
But a nobleman took quite a liking to her,
and she was supposedly forced to go with him.
Is it my ma?
I cannot say for sure.
Where is this person now?
My mother never met her, so...
Biwa, I'll also ask around about her.
I'm sure you'll meet her one day.
"One day" is a nice phrase.
Tomorrow.
The next day.
Now I can look forward to the future a little.
Well, I need to go keep Lady Hotoke-Gozen company now.
Giou, show me your dance again next time.
"Next time."
That too is a nice phrase.
Biwa.
What's with the vacant stare?
Koremori.
Biwa!
Tokuko!
It's been a while.
Hello, Koremori.
Tokuko, when is "next time"?
When is my "next time" with Giou?
I'm afraid that...
Are you all right?
My little sister, my mother, and I became nuns.
I was resentful.
He saw me only when he pleased, and when his interest shifted, I had to obey.
It was just as if I were Lord Kiyomori's pawn.
But from now on I can live in peace.
Yeah.
You must be upset there can be no next time.
Worldly wealth is but an illusion.
What good can riches do us?
I stand before you with a shaved head.
Forgive me, I beg, for my past sins.
If you deign to forgive me,
let us all live together in prayer,
and be born on the same lotus in Paradise.
Tomorrow.
The next day.
After this.
In the future.
Far in the future.
Even farther.
Good things happen too.
Yes.
Both Hotoke-Gozen's and Giou's faces were serene.
I want to tell Tokuko too!
Tokuko has been betrothed.
At the end of the year, she'll be wed into the imperial family.
Tokuko!
Biwa.
I'm sorry I've been unable to see you.
I've been busy with preparations.
Don't go!
Don't go!
Stop!
Thank you, Biwa.
I'm grateful for your concern.
But I'll be all right.
And this doesn't mean we can never see each other.
Until next time.
Right?
Tokuko!

▶ [Drag] Heike Monogatari - S01E03 (BD 1080p HEVC Opus 5.1) [BFD74B60]_track4_[eng]_Full Subtitles [Commie]

Are you all right?
There, there.
Brother, is this what they call seasickness?
Sure is, Kiyotsune.
You look pathetic, Biwa.
Shut u—
Father, I see it.
Wow!
It's huge!
Father, is this the grand archway?
Yes.
Wealth and might.
With both of these at our disposal, the Heike shall attain even greater glory.
Lord Koremori's dancing is truly beautiful.
His performance of The Waves of Kokonor at Emperor Go-Shirakawa's banquet last year was very well received.
Oh, you are too kind.
Nevertheless,
a warrior being praised for beauty rather than combat is quite concerning.
Tokitada! Munemori! Shigemori!
If you have energy for idle chatter, use it to pray instead!
Pray that no matter what it takes, Tokuko bears a child.
Of course!
Tokuko.
I'll be all right.
This doesn't mean we can never see each other.
Until next time.
Right?
Biwa.
Sh-Shigemori.
Do you feel better now?
Yep.
Good to hear.
Oh, Lord Munemori.
Oh, no need to bow.
Though we have different mothers, you are still my older brother.
I insist.
Itsukushima certainly is a fine place.
Indeed. It is thanks to Tokuko that we could come here.
And yet, despite our prayers, I expect it may be difficult for her to bear a child.
This marks six years at the palace, and His Majesty is turning 16.
Biwa.
Do you still feel sick?
Munemori's unpleasant.
Yes.
Munemori is Grandfather's second son,
but he is Lady Tokiko's first son,
so perhaps Father's presence bothers him a bit.
Father made a name as a warrior during the Heiji and Hougen rebellions,
and he is head of the clan, acknowledged even by Grandfather.
He also has Emperor Go-Shirakawa's trust.
To the younger brother, a serious and capable first son is like a lump above the eye.
Then is Koremori a lump to you too, Brother?
Not at all!
Our brother is beautiful.
But he's unfortunately a scaredy-cat. See?
Not much of a warrior.
Sukemori, with your rotten attitude and tongue, you're like Munemori.
Y-You're one to talk!
You only lack the facial hair.
What was that?!
Now, now. That's enough, you two.
How about we go closer to the shore?
Yes! Into the horizon!
Well, maybe not that far...
There you go being a scaredy-cat.
Wherever we go, we are men of the Heike, Brother.
Right.
Got it?
Come on! Come on! Let's go!
Be careful.
Okay!
Biwa.
Tokuko!
How wonderful! You look well!
Yes, I'm the same as ever.
You seem the same too, Biwa.
Strangely so, even.
Oh, I heard you visited Itsukushima.
Yeah, I did!
I see.
They even took a boat.
Just who was that trouble for?
Tokuko...
I'm all right.
Don't be worried.
In fact, it might be better if I don't have a child.
I'm sure I'd find it adorable.
But the child might be put through many hardships.
Lady Tokuko!
How nice to see you.
Oh, Sukemori.
Do you have business with Father?
Yes, regarding the poetry contest.
But I'm leaving now.
Might I take the liberty of accompanying you back, then?!
Ah.
But in more appropriate attire.
I shall return shortly. Please wait a moment.
You see,
Sukemori seems to have feelings for one of my attendants.
What?!
You say Emperor Go-Shirakawa is visiting again?
Yes.
Perhaps His Majesty has been lonely since the passing of his wife Lady Shigeko last summer.
True.
I understand!
To be apart from the one you love is a truly lonely thing!
Tokuko, I am going out for a bit.
But I am told your father is coming.
That is why.
I do not wish to see Father.
I see.
I shall tell him the Emperor has other business.
Please do.
I am sorry, Tokuko.
Do not be.
Have a safe trip, my lord.
Thanks.
Are you sure, Lady Tokuko?
Surely the Emperor is going to see Lady Kogou.
The Emperor has been feeling stifled over various things.
It is good that he has a place where his heart can be comforted.
In that case, allow me to entertain His Majesty.
Oh, is that so, Sukemori? You like contemporary court ballads as well?
Yes, though not as much as you, my lord.
You have quite good sense for a grandson of Kiyomori.
What a good son Shigemori has!
Unlike me, with the son I have...
Oh, how I miss Shigeko.
My lord, let us sing!
Yes! Let's sing together!
What dream comes in the slumber brought when two souls long burning with longing have a rare union?
'Tis of the reality of sliding into warm embrace.
Tokuko was here?
I would have liked to see her, but I had to be somewhere.
What's wrong, Shigemori?
Nothing.
I had to go to Enryaku Temple over an incident.
A few days ago, Lord Morotsune of the Fujiwara, who governs Kaga Province with his brother,
visited a mountain temple and demanded use of their bath.
He fought with the monks because they refused him,
and of all things,
he burned the temple.
That temple was affiliated with Enryaku Temple,
so Enryaku's head priest Meiun has demanded punishment for Lord Morotsune and for his elder brother Lord Morotaka.
However, their father serves Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
So, Meiun demands that my sons Morotaka and Morotsune be punished?
Correct, Lord Saikou.
My lord, my sons are governing the Kaga splendidly.
Punishment is preposterous.
A good point.
Your songs again?
Well, one of Shigemori's sons said he wanted to sing them with me.
You mean Sukemori?
Apologies, my lord.
My lord, please spare them punishment.
But Lord Saikou,
I doubt Lord Meiun and the Enryaku Temple monks will be satisfied with that.
A good point.
Monks from Enryaku Temple are headed to the palace.
What?!
The monks are heading to the palace?!
To burn a temple is an outrageous act!
Let's take our petition to the imperial court!
I have just arrived, my lord.
What took so long?
Thousands of Enryaku Temple warrior monks are heading to the palace!
Times like this are the whole point of having you warriors!
Take command of the soldiers and protect the palace gates at all costs!
Yes, my lord.
Listen well!
You need only drive the monks away!
Do not aim for vital spots!
Also, you absolutely must not shoot the portable shrines!
They are divine vessels!
And so, marching behind their shrines,
the monks sought to enter by the well-guarded Taiken Gate on the east side.
Violence erupted in an instant.
The warriors rained down arrows.
Numerous arrows pierced a portable shrine!
Priests were slaughtered,
and many warrior monks were wounded.
My lord, has the fire at the court last month caused you inconvenience?
Well, Shunkan.
I tell you, it was a truly terrible fire.
I heard that not just estates at court but Shigemori's estate too burned down.
Retribution for the shrine?
Narichika, your younger sister is Shigemori's wife, yes?
Yes.
And your daughter is Koremori's wife?
Yes...
Speaking of Shigemori, in the shrine incident,
despite his duty to protect the imperial court, he did not exactly come down hard on the monks.
If that weren't enough, both the political and military power at court are in the grip of the Heike.
A good point.
As things stand, the blasted Heike will only grow—
Which means that in order to oppose the Heike,
the only option is to rely on the Genji.
But the Genji were defeated in the Heiji Rebellion,
and the clan head Minamoto no Yoshitomo has already perished—
His son is alive.
Ah, Yoritomo.
Were you to order it, my lord,
the Genji and the nobles and clans with grievances against the Heike would surely rise up.
You think you could defeat them? The Heike?
Indeed.
For us, even the most imposing soldier is as easily toppled as a drunk.
An amusing use of metaphor.
A tepid response, Lord Narichika.
The Heike's necks must be...
cleanly snapped like so.
My. Well done.
You understand them well.
What frightful talk.
What?
Father has arrested Lords Shunkan and Saikou?!
Yes.
A conspiracy against the Heike was plotted at Shunkan's villa in Shishigatani.
One of those present supposedly reported the matter in secret to Grandfather.
Saikou!
You ignored your sons' misdeeds,
and now you beguile His Majesty and attempt to topple us?
How dare scum like you defy the Heike!
Are you also not scum?
What?
A mere warrior doing whatever he pleases.
You promote only your clan.
You grow conceited and pompous!
The world does not belong to the Heike!
After he confesses his plot, behead him by the river.
Father.
My wife's father, Lord Narichika of the Fujiwara, is also at Grandfather's estate.
What? Lord Narichika was involved?
It appears so.
And what about His Majesty?
He still seems to be safe, but it appears Grandfather intends to capture him.
I see.
Koremori, spread the word.
"A great crisis has arisen.
All who trust Shigemori are to assemble."
Shigemori.
The rest of you are not to leave the estate.
You understand?
Brother, are you trembling?
Well, Koremori is a scaredy-cat.
Emperor Go-Shirakawa attempted to bring down the Heike.
I am scared.
The days we lived up to now have ended.
Things will change.
Everything will change.
Biwa!
Shigemori!
Biwa.
Shigemori, come back home with me.
I can't yet.
Then I'm going with you!
You can't.
Yes, I can!
Do not involve yourself.
That's what Pa said.
And then...
Oh, Shigemori.
Father.
Please cease your plan to seize Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
I knew you'd say that.
Your fortune is at its end.
I hardly believe you are in your right mind.
What?!
Don't be ridiculous!
Those at Shishigatani are at fault!
To strike at the Heike, servants of the court, is heinous!
But I am told His Majesty was present!
I shall have His Majesty come to my estate and have him remain here.
We must teach everyone a lesson.
About what happens when you oppose the Heike.
I do not wish to die!
Father, I too am gathering soldiers.
Oh, how amus—
However, those soldiers are being gathered to attack you, Father.
You would attack your own father?!
I do not wish to do so!
Our clan owes its prosperity to His Majesty.
I believe our obligation to him runs deeper than the deepest crimson.
Nevertheless, if I fulfill my duty to His Majesty,
I will violate my obligation to my parent.
My loyalty and my filial piety conflict.
I cannot honor both.
Such is my dilemma.
Father, if you wish to leave here,
then cut my head off first!

▶ [Drag] Heike Monogatari - S01E04 (BD 1080p HEVC Opus 5.1) [D41F4144]_track4_[eng]_Full Subtitles [Commie]

Tokuko.
Stop.
Stay back!
No!
Stay away!
Tokuko, stay strong!
Shigemori.
At least...
At least spare the child!
Please!
Tokuko.
She is at last with child, but she suffers endlessly...
Try not to let it trouble you too much.
Tokuko will successfully bear your child.
Lord Shigemori,
I must express my thanks.
I understand you intervened with Lord Kiyomori to keep him from confining my father,
at risk to your own life.
Do not mention it.
How is His Majesty?
Having lost many aides,
he devotes himself to compiling his songs.
Seeing my father brought low like this...
Please tell him to take care of himself for me.
We of the Taira clan are servants of the court.
And we shall continue to be.
Shigemori.
What did you see?
I saw the ill will of Lord Saikou,
the late Lord Narichika, whose exile to Bizen I failed to prevent,
and the three who were exiled to Kikaigashima.
Biwa, I need to go see my father now.
He apparently happens to be in the capital.
Return to our home with Sukemori.
Lady Iko!
Please!
Have eyes only for me!
Lady Iko.
Please wait!
It seems Lady Iko has feelings for someone besides me.
It's a man nearly 20 years my senior, skilled in song and in art.
I feel like my heart has been toyed with!
It's too much!
That is a lot.
No, I'm sure you don't get it at all, Biwa.
What?
Have you ever loved someone, Biwa?
You're always dressed like a guy.
What?!
Of course I've noticed.
Everyone has.
Though when you first arrived, I thought you were a boy.
Huh?
Of course.
That's it.
Yes, yes.
Of course.
I just need to find someone else too.
Then her heart will be in pieces, and in her jealousy she'll realize,
"Lord Sukemori is the one I love after all!"
I wonder about that.
How about it, Biwa?
Give me your company tonight—
Ow!
You're saying Tokuko's troubles are due to those punished for the Shishigatani plot?
Yes.
I suggest holding a service for the dead and forgiving the Kikaigashima exiles.
To ensure a successful childbirth.
As part of the prayers for Tokuko's safe childbirth, pardons have been executed.
Then we can return to the capital?
Lord Shunkan, your name is not on the document.
What?!
Take me too!
"So you would abandon me in the end?
Let me aboard! Take me with you!"
Thus he cried out,
yet the boat rowed on, leaving only the normal wake of white waves.
Though the boat was not yet far off,
the tears welling up carried it from his view.
Father refused to forgive Lord Shunkan.
Why is that?
The plotting occurred at Lord Shunkan's estate.
Father may harbor deeper resentment because of that.
Or perhaps...
It appears that the other two showed remorse by sending a thousand grave markers into the sea.
I hear Lord Shunkan did not.
That may be why.
Nevertheless, I am told Lady Tokuko's condition has improved!
Biwa, we must visit at once to congratulate her!
Father, spin it again! Again!
Why don't you give it a try this time?
Yes, Father! Mother, watch me!
Koremori, you're a Pa.
Meanwhile, Sukemori is...
The woman he loves is a beauty and a skilled poet,
so I imagine she has many admirers.
Sukemori must have his own troubles.
Anyway, Biwa,
I would like you to play for my wife.
Perhaps it would comfort her.
Thanks to Father's intercession with Grandfather,
her father Lord Narichika was spared a death sentence.
But in exile in Bizen, he was not provided proper food and perished.
Once Lady Tokuko gives birth, Grandfather's power is sure to grow.
Just what consequences will that have?
My, well done, Tokuko!
And a boy, no less!
Let me hold him too!
This child will be the next emperor.
The Heike's glory will reach further heights.
Yes, there, there.
What a lively child.
He really is adorable.
Yes, he truly is.
Listen, Biwa.
I heard that you can see the future.
I wonder what lies in store for him.
I don't care about my future.
But his future...
Can you see his future?
Please, tell me.
I can't see it.
Oh...
Goodness, what's wrong?
There, there.
Moriko...
She was only 24.
She was wed at nine and lost her husband two years later.
It must have been lonely for her.
So why...
Why was no new husband ever sought out for her?
Tokuko.
It was to hold on to the assets Moriko inherited.
Everyone is talking.
They say the death of Taira no Kiyomori's daughter Moriko
was divine punishment for the Heike snatching up Fujiwara assets.
The whirlwinds last month were terrible.
Homes and carriages alike were blown away,
trees ripped from the ground,
stones lifted into the air...
Yet Father does nothing for the people,
concerning himself only with his grandchild and what happens to Moriko's assets.
The diviners predict that within 100 days a great emergency will befall the nation and successive wars will follow.
What do you think?
What does that eye of yours show you?
I don't want to look.
If I can do nothing about what I see, I'd rather not look.
Of course.
There is nothing I can do now.
Lord Narichika, who was part of the Shishigatani incident,
was my wife's brother and Koremori's father-in-law.
That has affected my position.
The only thing I can do now is...
I pray that my father Kiyomori seek no further glory and that he take pains to bring about peace.
However, if the clan's glory is to end with my father,
so that I might avoid seeing the descendants of the Heike be disgraced,
please, I pray that you shorten my life.
I humbly beseech you.
What is it?
Just now, something came from your—
No, it is nothing, Father.
"I'm a little hungry," Biwa said.
What?!
Forgive me.
We'd better be on our way, then.
It's cold!
Really wakes you up, doesn't it?
The sea at Itsukushima that day wasn't this cold.
That's cold!
Take this, Biwa!
That's cold!
There! Take that too!
Lord Koremori...
In this state, it's like he's dressed for mourning.
Quiet!
A change of clothes.
No.
No need.
Sorry.
Take it away.
Father...
You must eat something.
I am sorry for worrying you.
I am fine.
Don't push yourself!
Please rest!
Father, Emperor Go-Shirakawa is here.
Have him let in.
You did not need to go to such trouble.
Don't be ridiculous.
I am grateful for your loyalty.
I am unworthy of your words.
Pull yourself together.
You are the head of the Heike.
You have to live even longer than Kiyomori.
Please.
Live.
Shigemori looks as though his vitality left him.
Ever since his return from Kumano, he has been on his sickbed and does not eat.
How awful.
What could have happened?
Your Majesty,
Kiyotsune here is an expert flute player.
Huh?
How does that matter?
To see your face darkened so brings us worry too.
How about this?
Shall we hope for Father's recovery and sing?
Oh!
You are Shigemori's third son, yes?
Y-Yes!
We also have a biwa player.
Was I born to have fun?
Was I born to play games?
When I hear the shouts of children playing,
then even I am stirred.
Well done, Your Majesty.
To carry on like that when you are unwell.
It's fine.
Diversion is necessary in this world.
Koremori,
like your father, you are the type to worry too much.
Try not to put too much strain on yourself.
Father...
Where am I?
The head of Kiyomori.
His excessive villainy caused Kasuga Grand Shrine to take it.
The Heike's destiny is now at an end.
Amusing, is it not?
Father!
The Heike!
Father, I have come.
Father, you should be in bed!
Thank you for coming.
Koremori,
this is for you.
This...
Is this Kogarasu, the Heike blade passed down through the generations?
No, this is a plain longsword, to be worn at a funeral.
It was for Lord Kiyomori's end.
Why do you give it to me?
I no longer—
Father!
I can no longer remonstrate with Lord Kiyomori.
Koremori, I ask that you take this in my stead.
Yes.
I accept it.
I built an island.
So that ships can anchor in its lee.
Lord Kiyomori, your ideas surpass imagination.
Amusing, is it not?
Now, Tokitada.
What business made you rush all the way to Fukuhara?
I am afraid Lord Shigemori is...
Shigemori.
Shigemori!
Biwa.
Shigemori!
Shigemori.
I was a boring man to the end, wasn't I?
That's not true!
I am sorry.
I dragged you into this.
Into the Heike clan's inevitable ruin.
Play for me.
This is all I can do.
I'm powerless.
Even though I can see it, I can't do anything.
Shigemori?
Shigemori?
Shigemori!
Shigemori! Shigemori!
No!
Shigemori!
Father!
Biwa.
Shigemori...
Pa?
You're there, aren't you?
You're still there.
Did I inherit Shigemori's eye?

▶ [Drag] Heike Monogatari - S01E05 (BD 1080p HEVC Opus 5.1) [A9C3CF80]_track4_[eng]_Full Subtitles [Commie]

Biwa.
The color of your eye changed.
Perhaps Biwa has inherited Father's eye.
Freaky!
Maybe you're a specter.
I mean, you never get any bigger.
What?!
Why, you little...
Sukemori!
See, she's a monster cat!
Stop it, Biwa!
Biwa, enough!
Brother!
What a lively bunch.
Lord Munemori.
I thought surely you would be in low spirits.
Or is this just how you behave with your strict father no longer around?
Munemori.
I have come today to inform my late brother that I shall take firm hold of the reins...
as head of the Heike!
Oh, you're so cute!
Good job!
There, there!
Tokuko.
Tomomori, dear brother.
My, His Highness is standing splendidly!
And here we have one of Shigemori's attendants.
Biwa.
Your eye is the same as his!
Did Brother have a love child?
You are mistaken.
Oh, sorry!
I just assumed.
You know, even the Emperor has his other child...
Forgive me!
I've stuck my foot in my mouth twice in a row!
My son has a little brother now.
Through a different mother.
Kogou?
No, someone else.
Lady Shokuko.
So your wife has become that child's wet nurse?
Uh, yeah. She has.
And you have become Munemori's adjunct, right?
Yeah.
Alongside our little brother Shigehira.
Is Munemori actually ready to be clan head, I wonder?
Well, uh...
How is Father?
I hear that he's been holed up in Fukuhara since Shigemori passed.
The shock must have hit him hard.
Anyway, we can't feel down forever.
Even without Shigemori, we must carry the Taira clan forward.
We'll combine our brotherly strength and work heartily and nimbly!
What a vexing bug.
Now then,
you say that damned Kiyomori is still out of it?
Yes.
Then he's just a senile old man now.
What a great opportunity.
It was Emperor Go-Shirakawa?
Yes.
He seized the province of Echizen that Koremori inherited...
And the Fujiwara assets that Moriko had taken possession of were also seized...
And lately he has also been meddling with regard to court positions.
Curses!
Father?
How dare he? Curse him!
Father?!
F-Father!
F-F-F-F-Father!
Munemori, gather troops!
I'm returning to the capital.
I'm not senile yet!
You! Make way!
Make way!
It's Lord Kiyomori.
He intends to retaliate.
Father, welcome back to the capital.
Munemori!
Yes!
Tomomori!
Sir!
Shigehira!
Yes.
Beginning today, we dismiss the regent, the chancellor, and 41 others from their offices.
Afterward, the positions will be filled from the Heike.
And as for Motofusa, who took away Shigemori's territory,
exile him to Hyuuga!
Move out! Go! Go!
Open the gate!
Circle there too!
Capture them all!
Don't resist!
I beg your pardon!
Spare me exile to Hyuuga!
For I have taken vows and renounced the world!
In that case, I shall let you off with exile in Bizen.
Munemori!
Yes, Father!
Go to Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
We will have His Majesty reside at Toba Palace.
You mean to confine His Majesty?
To go so far seems—
I shall go at once, Father!
Even me?
What gall. For the Heike warriors to bare their fangs at me...
It's outrageous!
I'll never forgive this, Kiyomori!
The eight-span mirror, the heavenly sword of gathering clouds, and the string of jade jewels.
The Three Sacred Treasures are proof that you are the Emperor!
The youngest in history to accede to the throne!
I'd say "infantile" rather than "young."
Tokuko, you should rejoice.
Your child—my grandson—has become the Emperor!
Haven't you?
His Majesty understands this is a happy thing.
Now then...
Retired Emperor Takakura!
I would love for you to visit my Itsukushima Shrine!
Uncle Shigehira, you play so well!
High praise from you, Kiyotsune.
Should you really be standing around playing the flute?
Brother!
Uncle is visiting out of concern for us after the loss of Father!
Yes, but I also wanted to get away from Munemori.
It's still so cold.
This one.
The other day, he demanded Lord Nakatsuna of the Genji's prized horse, despite repeated refusals.
So this is the famous horse you treasure so much.
I shall give this horse the name Nakatsuna.
Run, blasted Nakatsuna!
Blasted Nakatsuna, feel the sting of my crop!
Tomomori and I remonstrated with him later.
Such behavior is not befitting of the head of the Heike.
And if Father were alive, Emperor Go-Shirakawa would never have been confined either.
Given Emperor Takakura's visit to Itsukushima Shrine despite opposition,
I expect the confinement will end soon.
I imagine Emperor Takakura went along with Father's request with that goal in mind.
Father is too high-handed.
Anyway, your concern is understandable, Sukemori.
But going forward, we will be leading the Heike.
In preparation, we must take an interest in governance as well as the flute and develop our fighting skills.
Yes, Uncle!
You're not a monster cat but a puppy.
Monster cat?
Yeah, her.
What with her eyes and all, she's suspicious.
Sukemori,
if you don't fix the way you speak, the court ladies will dislike you.
As will the girl you fancy.
I hear you were quite a help to my brother Shigemori.
If you ever have a problem, come to me.
I shall assist you any time.
That's how he treated your prized horse?
And they even branded it with the name Nakatsuna!
To think of my son Nakatsuna's pain fills me with frustration and misery!
The late Lord Shigemori was a considerate man of the utmost courtesy.
But now, a great many dislike the Heike, and some even despise them!
Prince Mochihito, Your Highness is Emperor Go-Shirakawa's second prince.
You are exceptionally learned and of fine lineage.
There was even talk that you would accede to the throne.
True, that did not happen, and your talent has long gone unrecognized.
But now, your abilities are needed!
Bring down the Heike, depose Emperor Antoku, and become emperor yourself, Your Highness!
I beg you, harden your resolve!
Give us your command!
Prince Mochihito ordered the downfall of the Heike?!
I hear the command is presently circulating to the Genji in all quarters.
Inform my father in Fukuhara at once!
Yes, sir!
Seize the prince immediately and exile him to Tosa!
I'm returning to the capital!
Speak! Where is Prince Mochihito?
Search the entire estate!
Capture them all!
I never expected word would get out this early.
It is all right.
The coast is clear.
Your Highness, hide at Onjou Temple until the Genji forces have gathered.
Father! We awaited your arrival!
I am told Prince Mochihito narrowly escaped to Onjou Temple dressed as a woman.
But if the Heike attack...
Onjou Temple's strength will not suffice,
so they sought help from Enryaku Temple on Mount Hiei and Koufuku Temple in Nara. But...
This rice is ours!
You already took plenty!
I sent 3.6 million liters of Oumi Province rice to Enryaku Temple.
Wow, Father. What a brilliant move!
Now Enryaku Temple will side with the Heike.
But what about Koufuku Temple?
We don't need both.
A bird cannot fly with one wing plucked.
Prince Mochihito apparently left Onjou Temple to head for Koufuku Temple.
He must intend for them to harbor him.
A report arrived! Prince Mochihito has entered Byoudou Temple.
Byoudou, you say?
Word is he was exhausted on the road and fell six times from his horse.
He is currently resting at Byoudou Temple.
This is our opportunity!
Attack Byoudou Temple!
Tomomori, you go as a general.
Yes, Father!
You too, Shigehira.
Yes, sir.
And lastly...
Well, Mother, I must depart now.
Koremori.
Brother, may you have fortune in battle.
Brother, you can't defeat the enemy if you're poised to run like usual.
I can't sleep with the racket you're making.
I'm surprised you could hear it over the rain.
Brother has been a scaredy-cat since childhood.
He's more suited to dancing than swinging a sword.
Do you think he'll be all right?
Twenty-eight thousand riders for the Heike crossed Mount Kowata and advanced on Uji Bridge.
Behold! Attack! Attack!
However...
They've removed the bridge!
Be careful!
...the rear troops did not hear this, and in their race forward 200 riders were pushed over the edge and swept away.
Then, both sides stood at opposite ends and exchanged volleys.
Into the fray advanced Tajima of Gochi Temple, wearing no armor, holding no shield.
The arrows flying toward him he sliced from the air!
Sliced them from the air!
Thus did he become known as Tajima the arrow slicer.
K-Keep it together!
Brother, we can't make use of our numbers on this bridge.
We should retreat.
Retreat?!
Yes.
Rather than do bridge battle,
let's cross the river and fight.
How?
Ah, I see!
So this is how we can withstand the current.
No need for heroics.
Just stay calm and defeat whom you can.
Save any who fall in!
Leave no one behind!
Yorimasa and Nakatsuna of Minamoto, who urged Prince Mochihito to raise an army,
were cornered and killed themselves at Byoudou Temple!
Prince Mochihito was hit with an arrow as he fled and perished!
To top it off, Onjou Temple...
Why, Shigehira, you set it ablaze!
The battle lasted into nightfall.
The risk of friendly fire forced me to.
The blaze just spread so quickly!
Why, I find myself having to praise my younger brother!
We had no other choice, right?
Fighting is the warrior's way.
When you fight, losing is not an option.
After all this, the Genji will think twice.
There should be no more battles for quite some time.
So cute!
Tokuko?
You seem down.
Emperor Takakura spends little time with my son lately.
I am told he had another child with Lady Shokuko.
To think about it pains and distresses me so.
I thought you didn't want this marriage.
No, not at first.
I wonder when that changed.
Once, servants used the fallen leaves of his beloved maple trees as kindling to warm their sake.
Everyone was aghast.
"Warming my sake on fallen leaves in the forest."
How elegant.
That was his response. He didn't rebuke them.
He is a kind man.
But Emperor Takakura must find it more comforting to be with someone else than with me.
A daughter of Kiyomori, of the Heike...
Though they had different mothers, Prince Mochihito was his older brother.
Father... The Heike killed him.
It's all so awful.
But I choose to forgive.
Father, Emperor Takakura, Emperor Go-Shirakawa—all of them.
Maybe that sounds presumptuous.
But someone has to forgive,
or there will be only hatred and conflict.
I'd like to think the world isn't all pain and suffering.
So I'll forgive and forgive and forgive.
Pa?
Did you forgive, Pa?
Shigemori,
did you forgive?
Did you forgive, Biwa?

Then if the ball goes into the goal area, you win.
And that's how gitcho works?
Apparently, the Nara monks have been amusing themselves by calling the ball Kiyomori's head and smacking it around.
That is horrible!
Would you like to hit it too?
Hit Kiyomori's head?!
No, no! The ball.
Yes!
Biwa, what are you...
Stare.
Come.
Good kitty.
You're clever.
Ah, the cat you took in at Fukuhara.
They say cats attach to homes more than people, so maybe it misses Fukuhara.
I have to say, I'm surprised the capital was moved back in just six months.
Yes,
but it just feels right here.
Emperor, are you cold?
Less than in Fukuhara.
When faced with Mount Hiei's petition, even Father had no choice but to capitulate.
After all, no one wanted to move in the first place.
And my father...
I paid him a visit recently.
He is well.
And I have heard of an uprising among the monks of Koufuku Temple.
They suspect the Heike have returned to attack them.
Or so I am told.
You heard about that...
Yoritomo has raised an army.
It is no time to be fighting with a temple in Nara!
Kaneyasu, head to Koufuku Temple and tell them we have no intention of striking them.
Yes, my lord.
You and your men are to wear no armor and carry no bow or arrows.
Even if there is violence from their side,
you are not to use any force.
W-Wait! Please!
Avenge Onjou Temple!
They displayed their heads at Sarusawa Pond?!
Those damned monks!
Fine, then!
Father, please, calm your rage.
Don't be ridiculous!
They seized 60 unarmed men and cut off their heads!
Shigehira, you will be the commander. Go to Nara.
Is that clear?
Yes, Father.
Lord Shigehira.
Dawn has broken. Lead the war cry.
The monks of Koufuku Temple are armed only with swords.
If we attack with bows and arrows, we should rout them easily!
The battle will drag on through nightfall.
What is Shigehira doing?
The monks' resistance was fiercer than anticipated.
But they seem to have broken through the fortifications at Nara Hill and Hannya Temple.
Lord Shigehira, it has grown dark, and there is no telling where the monks are hiding.
Should we not light a fire?
But that is how Onjou Temple...
The monks' fervor affected morale.
If attacked in the dark, the soldiers will stand no chance.
Set fire to a house to obtain light.
But use great caution.
What is it?
What an odd wind.
The flames burned down not just Koufuku Temple, but they also took out Toudai Temple!
To think he'd set Nara ablaze entirely.
I only hope no divine wrath visits us.
Hey, there.
Hey, now!
This cat is just like you. I swear.
The Heike made many enemies for itself again.
But wasn't it the wind's fault the fire spread?
We couldn't have done anything.
And the monks were the source of all this trouble.
I am not so certain.
Brother, we are here today to visit Mother.
Try not to look so gloomy.
And nothing we say here will put Nara back the way it was.
Sukemori and his lady friend are back on good terms again, so that's all he cares about.
What?
This was a lonesome New Year's.
Yeah. Possibly because the Nara temples burned, there were no events held at all.
I went to ask Lord Shigehira to at least play the flute with me...
but I didn't even get to see him.
I suppose he must not be in the mood to play the flute right now.
Catch it.
Oh my! I am ever so sorry!
What's wrong?
The retired emperor is...
Mother, Father, what could be so important?
His Majesty is in very serious condition.
It is precisely because of his condition that we need to see you.
Then please speak quickly.
This concerns you and your position after His Majesty's demise.
What do you think of entering Emperor Go-Shirakawa's palace?
Emperor Antoku is still young.
It would be reassuring to have strong support behind his court, right?
I trust I can pursue this matter?
No.
You still wish to make me a tool for Father's ambitions?
Tokuko.
And to think you would bring this up while His Majesty yet lives.
I have served Emperor Takakura from the bottom of my heart.
No matter what may happen,
I have no desire to serve any other than His Majesty.
Should you wish to force the matter...
I will become a nun.
Okay, okay.
Put the blade away!
And then the idea was dropped.
You're so valiant, Tokuko.
It was the first time I opposed Father.
Biwa?
Biwa.
Biwa?
Biwa.
Biwa!
Biwa!
That's right.
I'll be all right.
I'll live my life protecting this child.
I'm sure His Majesty is watching over us.
He has to be.
It was just once, but he spoke kind words to me.
I am thankful for you.
At the time, I was disappointed because he didn't express love.
But my time at His Majesty's side wasn't pointless.
If only Tokuko could see this too.
Kiso no Yoshinaka?
Yes.
Technically he is a cousin of Yoritomo's.
Then he's Genji.
But it appears the situation in the family is complicated.
After Yoritomo's older brother killed his father, he fled to Kiso and grew up there.
And he raised an army in Shinano?
Opportunist.
He just went along with Yoritomo.
Everyone is defying me lately.
Even my own daughter.
To think that after building up the clan's glory, I would be disliked and despised by all.
Father, the time for such lamenting is after you strike down the Genji!
Quite right!
Those outside our clan are not people!
It is just as you two say.
Anyway,
it sure is hot today.
Hot? But it is winter.
Word is people siding with the Genji have cropped up in Kawachi, Kyushu, and Kumano.
Uncle Munemori has declared that he will become a commander and defeat them.
Lord Shigehira appears to have little appetite for battle since the fire in Nara.
Is Lord Munemori truly up to this task?
What?
Father is unwell?
Hot.
So hot.
Mother—
What on earth is going on?
His fever won't go down at all.
Who are you?
We have come by the order of King Enma.
King Enma?!
We have come for Kiyomori.
He burned temples and burned the Great Buddha,
and for that he is now being roasted in flames.
He shall sink to the bottom of the hell of uninterrupted suffering.
How dreadful!
Hot...
So hot...
Lord Kiyomori, if you have any final wishes...
Spread my ashes... at the beach at Fukuhara...
I will.
I have achieved all my desires in this life.
I regret... only... the fact that I never saw Yoritomo's head.
I need no halls or pagodas erected after I die.
Hold no service either.
Just send people after Yoritomo...
Cut off his head...
and hang it before my grave.
I wonder if...
Tokuko is still upset with me.
It's... on fire.
Emergency!
Lord Kiyomori's estate!
What?!
What happened?
Shigemori.
Kiyomori is...
Your pa is...
What should I do?
Those I know and those I don't—
everyone just dies.
And it won't stop here.
Is there anything I can do?
Koremori?
Tell me.
Father died, and now Grandfather has too!
What is going to happen to the Heike?
What happens to us?!
Say it!
Hold nothing back!
Brother!
Go back inside and rest.
I want to know!
The north, the east, the west—
they've all sided with the Genji.
Father is gone.
Grandfather is gone.
What do we do now?
This is why you flee at the sound of waterfowl.
Even if you knew, what could you do?
Nothing.
Brother is... just tired!
From the journey to Fukuhara and back for Grandfather's funeral.
Biwa, I apologize.
Biwa.
Leave.
I've always found the color of your eye creepy.
And I hated the sound of your biwa.
Brother, how can you—
We should have thrown you out after Father passed.
You don't belong here, and you haven't for some time!
Behave.
You hear me?
Leave before spring comes.
Brother!
Biwa...
I know.
I know Sukemori well.
At last, my confinement is lifted and I have returned.
I am sorry for the inconveniences you experienced.
I would have liked to make Kiyomori bow his head like that.
But even if he fell to the Avici hell, I bet he's clawing his way up.
Miko no Himegimi entered my palace.
Her mother is different, but she is your little sister.
I heard she was an Itsukushima priestess.
She's a beautiful girl, but she is always so quiet.
You would have made a good conversation partner.
I will continue to visit you when I can.
If you will permit it, I would visit Miko no Himegimi too.
Oh, you will?
She did end up in an unwanted marriage to an old man like me in your place.
An unwanted fate is not necessarily a misfortune.
I have seen many who met with misfortune by wanting too much.
They were slaves to their desires, never realizing what they lost in exchange.
I wish to be the flower that blooms even in mud.
Women have five obstructions.
Though they are far from reaching the pure land,
like the lotus flower blooming in mud,
even the dragon girl achieved enlightenment.
You may not see it,
but you have already been dragged down into an uninterrupted quagmire.

▶ [Drag] Heike Monogatari - S01E08 (BD 1080p HEVC Opus 5.1) [D621BF33]_track4_[eng]_Full Subtitles [Commie]

You came all this way in the snow.
But both my sister Giou and Hotoke-Gozen are no longer...
I know.
For a time, we were able to live tranquil lives together.
Come to think of it,
a court dancer who visited my sister here mentioned something.
She said she met a woman with the same eye color as you.
She said the woman was once a court dancer.
Where is she now?
Let's send a letter to the court dancer who visited and ask.
You mustn't eat that, my emperor.
Let's give that back to Lord Atsumori now.
Sorry.
So then Biwa didn't come to stay with you either, Lady Tokuko?
No.
I would have liked to see her.
But it may be best for her not to be involved with us anymore.
This is a cat?
It's so cute!
Thank you.
You're welcome, dear.
Sorry we only have such thin soup.
Where are you headed?
A place called Echigo.
Echigo?
I am told it is many mountains away from here.
My goodness.
Why are you going so far?
That's probably where Ma is.
Be careful, dear.
Fleeing Genji warriors may be lurking about.
Nearby at Sunomata River, there was a battle between the Genji and the Heike.
We lost.
Have some backbone!
We just need to win next time.
Can we?
In Kiso, fellow Genji Lord Yoshinaka is steadily gaining power.
You're the clan head. Don't be outdone.
Yoshinaka.
Huh?
Hey!
Yoritomo lost?!
Well, it seems the Heike didn't pursue much, so it wasn't a total rout.
I'll fight the Heike too!
Hey, Kanehira, whaddya think?
Knowing you, I believe you will.
Yoritomo and Yoshinaka.
I'll show the world that the Genji have two generals!
Well said!
When your father and Yoritomo's fought,
you were but a babe.
I took you in my arms and fled to Kiso.
I never dreamed we would defeat the Heike together!
Truly.
I, Tomoe, shall fight alongside you!
Things have gotten exciting, huh, Yoshinaka?
Sure have!
Thanks to Shigehira and Koremori's efforts,
Yoritomo lost the battle at Sunomata River.
However, Yoshinaka subjugated Shinano and is attempting to take Hokuriku next.
Brother, you must act quickly!
Me?
With Father gone, you are the head of the Heike in both name and reality!
I'll make my way to Hokuriku with troops.
Shigehira, what do you think?
Koremori is correct,
but I would wait and observe for the time being.
Yes. And the governor of Echigo was supposed to kill Yoshinaka, but then he suddenly died.
I'm afraid the governor of Echigo, Jou Sukenaga, has passed away.
On his way to attack Yoshinaka, a voice was heard in the sky.
It said, "Apprehend him who allies with the Heike, burners of the Great Buddha."
Then he suddenly fell from his horse.
An important man from the so-called Echigo Taira.
Among his concubines, there should have been a former court dancer with an eye like mine.
Oh, perhaps you mean Lady Asagi?
I heard she had lived in the capital.
Could I meet her?
I heard that after Lord Sukenaga passed, she left Echigo to return to the capital.
No way...
After I came all the way to Echigo...
Come on! Drink, everyone! Drink!
Koremori.
The warriors of Ecchuu, Kaga, and Echizen are hastening to Kiso no Yoshinaka's side one after the other.
And yet our clan head Lord Munemori sits here in revelry!
At this rate, Yoshinaka will march on the capital before Yoritomo does!
We must absolutely prevent that!
A winding stream party?
Lord Munemori is throwing one.
Apparently, you have to compose a poem before the sake dish floats past you.
So Lord Atsumori and I are trying it.
But at this moment, Lord Koremori is leading troops to battle against Kiso no Yoshinaka.
With his exploits lately, it's like Brother is a different person.
Word is he took Hiuchi Castle in Echizen.
I wish I could have participated too.
The winding stream party seems more fun to me.
Stare.
What?
Brother is about to face the final battle with Yoshinaka.
I'd just rather use my head than my strength.
You do not seem to be using it.
What was that?!
Stop, you two!
Let's pray for Lord Koremori's success.
We have 100,000. They have 50,000.
With the way Brother is now, there is nothing to fear!
Hear me! I am Kiso no Yoshinaka, of the Minamoto bloodline!
Hear m—
Hear me!
I am Koremori, son of Taira no Shigemori!
I'm headed for ya tomorrow!
Wait for me!
I had heard Yoshinaka was an unrefined man,
but he is surprisingly courteous.
I guess even the monkey of Kiso observes some ceremony.
This is the man who took over Hokuriku.
Do not underestimate him.
We will advance our forces as soon as dawn breaks.
We are not well acquainted with these mountains.
Our large army would fight best on open, level ground.
Lord Koremori is exactly right.
Then let's rest up for tomorrow.
Th-This is...
S-Surprise attack!
Prepare for battle!
Make haste!
Hurry! Get ready!
That sure went well.
How brilliant to move 10,000 riders to their flank!
Those well-mannered fools would never think of this tactic.
Now we drive them into the valley.
Let's go!
The Heike turned around to see...
white banners, like floating clouds.
From in front and behind, the enemy closed in.
Soldier and steed plunged down and piled up, plunged and piled.
One dreadfully deep valley, filled in with 70,000 Heike!
The rocks sprang with blood, and the corpses formed mounds.
Seventy thousand soldiers fell into the valley?!
What does that mean?
Now what happens?!
Yoshinaka will march into the capital.
That was...
That was Hell!
Hurry! Yoshinaka is coming!
Move it!
Leave the capital?
Take the Emperor, and the Three Sacred Treasures as well!
It appears Enryaku Temple will side with the Genji,
so we lack sufficient forces to oppose Yoshinaka.
Oh, but there are many Heike allies in the west!
It seems best to regroup and then face Yoshinaka.
Emperor, let's get ready for an outing.
An outing where?
We will start with Fukuhara.
Perhaps you do not remember, but you have been there before.
I decline.
My, but trips are such fun.
Then shall your mother and I go without you?
I will go.
Prepare at once!
Pack only essential items.
Sukemori.
You were still seeing Lady Iko?
Yes.
Lady Iko chooses to remain in the capital.
I hear many others are leaving behind wives or children.
Even though the city will soon be the Genji's capital.
No.
The capital is where the Emperor is.
It does not have to be here.
If the Emperor and I can live there in peace and tranquility,
any place is enough.
And the Emperor?
He departed safely.
I hear Emperor Go-Shirakawa was not seen with them.
It would appear he snuck out of his estate last night.
Go to Fukuhara with the Heike?!
Give me refuge here in Kurama.
We aren't fighting Yoshinaka?
Even if we repelled Yoshinaka, the monks of Mount Hiei would attack.
Yoritomo might come as well.
If we fight together, we can defeat the likes of the Genji!
Is Koremori still not here?
We have to leave now.
Father,
you will come back for us soon, right?
We'll be waiting for you.
Brother.
Please make haste.
The others have left.
Sorry.
If I hadn't lost so many warriors at Kurikara Pass...
This is all my fault!
I cannot face the clan.
I have no right to leave with them!
It's not your fault, Brother!
Besides, we will raise another army in the west.
We aren't just leaving the capital!
Kiyotsune.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry!
Light it up!
Surely we don't need to burn it.
As if I would just let the Genji have it!
By the time they enter the capital, 50,000 estates will be reduced to ash!
This is awful.
I didn't expect Lord Kiyomori's precious Fukuhara to be this run down.
It's near the ocean, and the wind is strong.
What's more, it's been abandoned for three years.
We'll stay here tonight, and tomorrow we'll sail to Dazaifu.
Dazaifu...
I suppose even Yoshinaka would not come after us that far away.
Emperor, this is your first time staying somewhere like this, isn't it?
Will there not be ghosts?
If there are, I, Tomomori, shall apprehend them!
I hope you will grant me your aid, Emperor.
Very well!
That's the spirit!
Lord Kiyotsune.
Lord Atsumori.
I thought I might find you here.
Come to think of it, we played here.
Yes, along with Lord Shigehira.
It feels like an eternity ago.
Lord Kiyotsune...
Before we left the capital, Koremori was crying and blaming himself.
As if this were all his fault.
Our clan was driven from the capital and has to stay in this desolate place.
Why is this happening to us?
Lord Kiyotsune, please pull yourself together.
Now we will join the fight!
Our 100,000 troops now number only 7,000.
How can we fight Yoshinaka or Yoritomo?
I choose to fight!
Isn't that how Lord Kiyomori and his father climbed to the top?
Let's take your mind off it.
Not tonight, Lord Atsumori.
The sound of a flute in this desolation would be too sad.
So the place Father staked his dreams on is to be ash too.
The Heike has allies in the west!
To Dazaifu!
To think we'd see white Genji banners in the capital.
It's been, what, 20 years?
Please, give that back!
Shut up!
I'll teach you to behave!
Mercy!
Please let me go!
Come on. Go inside!
What's this?
Get off!
Time to run!
My biwa! My cat!
Don't worry!
Stop!
Hey, just drop it.
Dammit.

Hey, if you have nowhere to go, why not come with us?
Where?
I dunno. All over.
Wherever there are people to watch our dances.
I just got back after a long journey.
Things seem dangerous in the capital.
Everyone's saying it's worse with Kiso no Yoshinaka than it was with the Heike.
What a strange color.
Though I have seen someone else with the same eye color.
Where?!
In Tango Province.
I met her last time I was there.
She supposedly used to be a court dancer too.
Kiso no Yoshinaka's soldiers ransack people's homes and set upon any woman they see.
No!
Everyone risked their lives in battle.
That deserves a suitable reward! Right, Kanehira?
Yeah. Sure does.
How dare he shield himself with the title I gave!
I need to have him defeat the Heike quickly,
but the Heike have the Emperor and the Three Sacred Treasures in their possession!
Even if it is temporary, such a plain place is not fit to be an imperial residence.
Please make do for now, Mother.
Dazaifu is an office for the administration of Kyushu.
I hear Emperor Go-Shirakawa has had a new emperor accede to the throne.
I hear he is a child of the late Emperor Takakura and Lady Shokuko and is called Emperor Go-Toba.
For there to be two emperors...
No.
There is but one emperor.
Brother! Lord O—
Lord Ogata has received a decree to pursue the Heike.
What?!
You don't mean... he'll attack Dazaifu?
Lord Ogata once served Shigemori.
Let's send Sukemori as a messenger.
Koremori has not been reliable since his defeat by Yoshinaka at Kurihara.
Lord Sukemori, what a fine man you've become.
Lord Ogata, I am informed that you are gathering troops to attack my clan.
As I have been so ordered by Emperor Go-Shirakawa...
You served my father, did you not?
Believe me, I have no desire to point weapons at the Heike.
Thus, please!
I beg that you leave Dazaifu!
He said to leave Dazaifu?!
He said that he could not oppose the palace.
I can't believe this.
First we flee the capital, then Fukuhara...
And now we must flee Dazaifu too?
If we don't, he'll probably attack.
But that's...
We won't run with our tail between our legs.
We must fight!
Kiyotsune, what're you spacing out over here for?
You have to get ready for battle.
I can't believe that even someone who once served Father would attack the clan.
That's just how the world works!
You have to join the stronger side or suffer.
What about loyalty, uprightness, and obligation, then?!
Do they...
really mean nothing?
You think the Heike had those things?
Enough.
Just get ready.
They didn't put up a proper fight and just fled?
They did attack Lord Ogata's estate, but they must have realized they stood no chance.
The Heike are said to be heading to the harbor at Hakozaki on foot.
Lady Tokuko, are you all right?
Thank you.
I am fine.
Please prioritize yourselves right now.
Lady Tokuko...
We will make it to Hakozaki alive!
Mother, you are soaking wet.
Where are we going in this terrible rain?
Somewhere you can live in peace, Emperor.
Let's go.
Things will be better soon.
Lord Kiyotsune.
Pick yourself up.
I shall walk with you.
Walk?
Yes!
How long must we walk?
How far?
Everyone is siding with the Genji and betraying us.
We are fish,
caught in a net.
Lord Kiyotsune...
Have heart.
We swore together that we would fight,
bravely and heroically!
Lord Kiyotsune.
Why don't we find some shelter from the rain?
I'll play my flute for y—
I'm sorry.
The sea really is nice.
We don't have this at the capital.
But it's the capital.
It's not the middle of nowhere like this.
True.
What's wrong?
You don't like the sea?
I hear that the Heike are adrift at sea.
That seems to be the case.
After all the influence they boasted of at the capital.
We finally reached Hakozaki's harbor after all that walking.
Yet every time we try to land, the enemy appears.
We have to spend another night on these boats.
Fish caught in a net...
It's something Lord Kiyotsune said.
Are you sure you don't want to be on his boat?
Lord Kiyotsune just seems so different now...
This flute playing...
It's Lord Kiyotsune!
Biwa?
Lord Kiyotsune is playing his flute!
I'll join in!
Kiyotsune!
Lord Kiyotsune! Lord Kiyotsune!
Kiyotsune!
Quick! We must save him!
Biwa!
Not again.
It happened again.
First Shigemori, and then Kiyomori...
Yet I can do nothing!
Oh, Kiyotsune!
I see it.
I can only see it.
I can't change it!
Were you crying all night?
Of course.
You finally get to see her, after all.
Hey, it's not nice to laugh!
Ma!
You are just as I saw.
All this time, I saw you.
Oh, Asagi.
Asagi?
That's your name.
Pa never called me that.
You're named after the color of your eye, which he feared.
And now I am called by that name.
Lady Asagi...
I longed to see you in person.
If you saw me this whole time, why didn't you come see me in person?
I abandoned you and your father and went to live with the Echigo Heike.
In that case,
I shouldn't have come.
Forgive me!
No, you don't have to forgive me.
Thank you for coming to see a mother like me, Asagi.
It's Biwa.
My name is Biwa.
Biwa...
I couldn't do anything for you,
but I was always praying for you.
Praying?
And for your pa too.
"May he rest in peace."
"May he rest quietly."
"Please..."
"Please..."
"May he rest in peace. May he rest quietly."
Even if you can't do anything,
pray.
You're leaving now?
I've decided to witness the Heike's fate.
I'll witness it and put my prayers into my biwa playing.
I found something I can do.
Thanks, Ma.
I'll be praying too.
That you get to live quietly here.
Please, please, be well.
Word is that the Heike, who had been wandering at sea,
defeated Lord Kiso no Yoshinaka's army at Mizushima.
They won?
In the battle at Mizushima, the Heike's commander Tomomori...
ordered his men to place planks between their boats,
and he is said to have fought as if he ruled the ocean.
And what of Lord Yoshinaka?
Emperor Go-Shirakawa ordered him to attack the Heike, but...
I want you to make me commander-in-chief.
Is he crazy?
Emperor Go-Shirakawa was infuriated and employed warrior monks to attack Yoshinaka, but...
I ran the Heike out of the capital!
Lord Yoshinaka burned the palace and confined both him and Emperor Go-Toba.
Emperor Go-Shirakawa seeks your assistance.
Goodness...
What's more, it is said that Yoshinaka intends to attack you and make himself head of the Genji.
So then should I attack Yoshinaka?
Of course!
Who should—
Make your younger brother Noriyori the commander,
and why not send Lord Yoshitsune?
You're really going west?
Yeah.
Although Yoshinaka has...
Dammit. Dammit!
Kanehira!
...been killed by the Genji of Kamakura,
the same Genji are supposed to be headed west to attack the Heike next!
I have to go.
Thanks for everything.
Take care.
I'll be in the capital for a while.
Hopefully the Genji of Kamakura aren't ruffians.
Who is the Heike's commander?
One known as Taira no Sukemori, but he has already fled.
The remaining soldiers are holed up at Ichinotani.
It's time to show your mettle!
Shoot! Shoot!
The Heike are fighting in three groups under Tomomori, Yukimori, and Tadanori.
We'll launch a surprise attack from here.
Lord Yoshitsune?!
The wild deer may pass through here, but...
If a deer can do it, then so can a horse.
Quite right!
You'll be all right.
If we hold here—
Brother!
The back has already fallen!
What?!
Yoshitsune's army descended from Hiyodorigoe and attacked from behind.
Then the soldiers will come here too!
We'll head to the beach and board our boats.
Run!
Hurry! The boats will leave!
We swore together that we would fight,
bravely and heroically!
To show our backs to the enemy...
Lord Atsumori?
Go on ahead!
You there! I take you to be a commander of renown!
You would show your back to the enemy?
He beckons with his fan raised.
Thus beckoned, Atsumori turns back.
Atsumori...
Ready to take his foe's head, he pushes the helmet away to see...
a boy of 16 or 17, features possessed of beauty.
He takes pity and is struck by a desire to spare his foe...
when he sees coming up behind him...
Just take my head already!
Taking my head should bring you renown too.
I swore...
I swore...
that I...
admirably...
as a warrior...
I swear.
I'll pass down your story.

▶ [Drag] Heike Monogatari - S01E10 (BD 1080p HEVC Opus 5.1) [744689B3]_track5_[eng]_Full Subtitles [Commie]

It was here in Fukuhara that I found you.
Koremori...
Lord Koremori's head was not paraded.
It appears that he was not present at Ichinotani, due to illness.
So then...
He is in Yashima.
Is this "Yashima" far from the capital?
Will Father recover from his illness?
I wish he would come back for us soon.
A letter arrived from Shigehira.
I heard he was captured while escaping from Ichinotani.
He's alive?!
It seems he was captured and paraded through the city.
How awful.
What did Shigehira write?
He asks us to return the Three Sacred Treasures.
He says that is Emperor Go-Shirakawa's wish.
Munemori.
If we send the treasures to the capital, will Shigehira be returned?
Mother, I understand exactly how you feel, but...
Even if we return the treasures, Shigehira may not be returned.
But Tomomori—
Mother.
Let us protect Emperor Antoku here.
Where the Emperor is becomes the capital.
They decided not to return the Three Sacred Treasures.
Then what will become of Lord Shigehira?
He is to be sent to Kamakura.
I see.
As things stand, the war will resume.
The Genji—Yoshitsune will attack.
I am scared.
You still...
Brother, you've been a scaredy-cat since we were kids...
I know I will fall...
Fall straight into Hell.
It is all over.
The Heike will end.
When Kiyotsune jumped...
this must have been how he felt.
I must do something so it does not end.
Try to think of a plan too, Brother.
I present Lord Taira no Shigehira.
The one who burned Nara?
The fires we set to see in the dark of night were fanned by the wind...
As I was in command at the time,
that sin was mine and mine alone.
That I have been captured and dishonored in this fashion is but karmic retribution.
It is my just deserts for the battle and conflict, for destroying others and attempting to save only myself.
I have been made well aware of that.
What concerns you so?
The tree peony.
Do you mean Lord Shigehira?
Indeed, I had heard him likened to the tree peony.
The man was truly like that flower.
Do you hope to spare him?
You are here now because Lord Kiyomori spared your life.
And you are about to end the Heike.
If you were to spare Lord Shigehira, nay, any of the Taira clan...
One will rise to end the Genji?
Pity might move many to serve a truly genteel flower raised in the capital.
Lord Koremori has vanished?!
He doesn't mean to save only his own skin, does he?
Write to him!
And write what, Sukemori?
Write a letter to Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
Lady Tokuko, you were on good terms with His Majesty.
Yes, and write what exactly?
Implore him to spare us!
If he decrees that the Genji no longer need to attack the Heike...
Lady Tokuko!
I am afraid he is the same as my father.
He does not easily forgive those who threatened him.
Then we just wait for the end—
I will protect him.
Whatever befalls us,
I shall at least protect the Emperor.
This seems like neither a dream nor reality, Lord Koremori.
Why did you run away from Yashima?
I wish to become a monk.
Do you harbor no attachments to the world?
I considered seeing my wife and children one last time.
But if I enter the capital, I may be taken prisoner.
And after you take your vows?
I no longer see any merit to living.
I want to put an end to the running, the fear, the battles.
I-Is...
Is that a shameful and cowardly thing?
I also came here to escape.
I became a monk to escape the pain of being separated from the woman I loved.
Some may think that too trivial a reason.
However, the suffering one person can endure may be unbearable for another.
Numerous misfortunes have befallen you, Lord Koremori.
How you must have suffered...
Koremori!
Biwa!
Biwa!
You're okay!
You could see this, couldn't you?
Koremori, I know I can't change this,
but couldn't you change your name and live quietly somewhere?
I have to go now.
Your eyes are like Father's.
They're beautiful.
Koremori,
I shall tell your story too.
My story?
All I ever did was run away.
I know you very well.
I want to appreciate you.
Then maybe my life had some merit.
Namu Amida Butsu... Namu Amida Bu...
Namu Amida Bu... Namu Amida Bu...
Namu Amida Bu... Namu Amida Bu...
Namu Amida Bu...
Koremori.
You were a scaredy-cat to the end.
We're dancing before Emperor Go-Shirakawa?
That's right.
Maybe a beautiful nobleman will fall in love with one of us!
Well, don't get too distracted. Focus on your dancing.
Okay!
Your Majesty.
Lord Yoshitsune is here.
That darn Sukemori is begging for his life.
Use this to light firewood.
As you wish.
Why, Lord Yoshitsune!
I am truly grateful for your invitation to the cherry blossom banquet today.
How are things in the capital?
There is no particular unrest.
Everyone is greeting a mild spring.
I am glad I entrusted the capital to you.
You don't deploy bowl-cut boys like the Heike did,
nor do you commit violence like Yoshinaka.
It is my duty to protect the city in which you and Emperor Go-Toba reside.
Enjoy yourself today.
Lord Sukemori, did you need something?
Did anything arrive from the capital?
Such as?
A letter from Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
None has arrived.
Any others?
Other what?
Did any other letters arrive?
You're not very attentive.
That must be why you didn't stop Koremori from jumping into the ocean.
You just shamelessly came back here.
Whereas the others all jum—
Never mind. You can leave now.
I am terribly sorry.
Was I born to have fun?
Was I born to play games?
When I hear the shouts of children playing,
then even I am stirred.
Biwa?
Wh-Why are you here?
I brought this from Lady Iko in the capital.
Huh?
She was worried about you.
Wh-What're you looking at?
You did your job. Now go!
Oh, wait!
I'll write a reply, so—
I'm staying.
I'm staying here.
Do you understand the situation we're in?
No, no, no—
I decided to witness it.
To witness your future, and the Heike's.
To witness the clan's end after we got high and mighty?
I want to pass down the story.
I'm sure I don't even appear in the story.
You do.
What?
Shigemori, Koremori, you, Kiyotsune, and Atsumori—all of you do.
Your first appearance will likely be the incident with the regent.
The incident with Lord Motofusa?
I was still a dumb kid then.
I met all of you and knew you.
So I will just tell what I saw and heard.
Biwa!
His name is Neko.
Neko!
Emperor.
Biwa, it's so good to—
Tokuko.
I saw my ma.
You did?
I'm glad for you.
She never stopped worrying about me.
I see.
That's what it means to be a mother, right?
Wait!
Be my pet cat!
I'm afraid that can't be.
A local fisherman will take Neko.
The Genji army has headed west with Lord Noriyori in command.
At a loss about how to proceed, Lord Noriyori has retreated to Aki Province.
My, the Heike are so stubborn.
Tomomori of the Taira is a capable commander.
Should I send Yoshitsune?
Shizuka, are you not hungry?
She's worried about Lord Yoshitsune.
It must be nice to have the affections of the Genji commander!
It'll be fine.
Lord Yoshitsune has a reputation for skill in battle.
The Genji army is attacking!
They crossed the sea on the night of a storm?!
There are stars flying all over!
Emperor.
Fire!
Lord Yoshitsune has at last driven the Heike from Yashima toward the sea.
Splendid work.
I hear the Heike continued out to sea, but Yoshitsune's warriors...
They number only 70 riders?
And so the Heike turned back.
However, Yoshitsune drove them back out to sea once more.
In a fit of rage, the Heike challenged the Genji to hit a fan.
A man known as Nasu no Yoichi...
fired an arrow straight into that target.
Seizing the momentum, Lord Yoshitsune subdued the Heike's fragmented forces.
Now they should finally return the Three Sacred Treasures.
I shall send a letter, and—
I'm afraid that...
Eliminate the flowers, the buds, even the seeds.
...the Genji mean to choke the life out of the Heike and end them.
They have sailed for Dannoura.
The Heike boats numbered 1,000.
The Genji boats numbered 3,000.
The two forces faced each other and shouted their battle cries.
The cries were thought to have reached Brahma above
and startled the Dragon Sea God below.
Today is the final battle!
Do not let your hearts retreat!
Value not your lives!
Value your renown!

▶ [Drag] Heike Monogatari - S01E11 (BD 1080p HEVC Opus 5.1) [C1484E86]_track5_[eng]_Full Subtitles [Commie]

The waves are strong!
Put your backs into rowing so we aren't carried away!
The wind is also a bit strong.
We number 3,000!
They have only 1,000!
We Genji have the advantage!
We Heike surpass them in fighting at sea!
Do not falter!
Shoot!
A shrike?
It is an adorable bird, but they say it impales its prey on branches.
I imagine that about now,
the Genji warriors are meeting the Heike warriors with the same fate.
What clear skies!
Perhaps a sign that the Three Sacred Treasures shall return to the capital.
Board their boat!
We also shall follow Lord Tomomori!
Push on my command!
Don't push!
I'm gonna fall!
Ready, push!
Do not falter!
Row like mad!
Force them into the whirlpool!
The tide is with us!
Attack! Attack!
How do things look?
We have the advantage.
Hand me a bow!
Mother, I wish to see the battle.
It is too dangerous.
But I wish to see it!
You can see it if you won't cry should an arrow strike you.
It's no fun to be in pain.
That's it.
Keep going! Crush the Genji!
Here we go!
Lord Yoshitsune, our boats cannot advance in these currents!
It may be best to retreat!
We possess superior numbers.
In time, the Heike forces should tire.
Ride it out, my lord!
What's this?
What is that?
They're...
Dolphins?
Lord Munemori!
A-According to the diviners,
if those dolphins swim to the Genji side, the Genji shall fall.
But if they continue on to our side...
This feels like old times.
Our banners...
The winds have shifted...
Stay away! Stay away!
Stay away!
This hairstyle looks good on you.
The wind favors us!
Shoot their rowers with arrows!
Shoot their rowers!
Shoot their rowers!
We're being swept back!
The current has shifted!
Push them back!
Lord Tomomori!
Lord Yoshitsune! There are boats approaching!
Lord Yoshitsune! We have come to aid the Genji!
The momentum is ours!
Attack! Attack!
This is bad! I'm going to Mother's boat!
Lord Munemori!
Munemori, what is the situation?
I-It is still uncertain.
Brother.
What happens to the Emperor if we should lose?
The Emperor would probably be taken to the capital to conduct a formal abdication to Emperor Go-Toba.
So his life will be spared.
But then...
But then all our efforts to protect the Emperor and the Three Sacred Treasures would be meaningless!
Mother.
To hand either over at this point...
What was the point of all our drifting, then?
Of all that we endured?
I said the outcome is not yet certain!
Survival is hollow.
What awaits is a life more miserable than this one.
The answer is clear.
Mother!
How will the Emperor be treated once robbed of his position?
And you.
If captured, you may well be forcibly married to some Genji.
Do you still insist you can protect the Emperor?
Lord Yoshitsune, the Emperor is not on a Chinese ship.
One who switched sides from the Heike has informed us.
I see.
Listen well!
The Emperor is not on a Chinese ship!
Attack the small boats!
Lord Tomomori, they have begun attacking the small boats!
Who has betrayed us?!
Lord Tomomori...
So this is the end...
Head for Tokuko's boat!
Lord Tomomori!
Oh, Tomomori!
You're safe!
Brother.
Mother...
What of the battle?
You ladies will soon behold a rare sight: men from the east!
What is going on?
I will not be taken by the enemy.
Come, Emperor.
Where do you mean to take me?
A beautiful place called the Land of Bliss.
Mother...
Bring forth the treasures.
I shall go buy you some time.
There! That's the boat!
The little emperor, in dark green imperial robes,
hair tied in loops at his temples,
tears welling in his eyes,
pressed his small, delicate hands together and first prayed eastward.
Afterward he turned west and recited a prayer.
Before long, the Lady Nun took him in her arms.
"There is a capital beneath the waves too!" she said to comfort him.
Oh, how sad that the spring breeze of impermanence...
so quickly scatters the flower's petals.
Oh, how pitiful that the rough waves of life and death...
sank his personage beneath them.
Tokuko!
Tokuko!
Tokuko!
Not yet.
Your story isn't over.
Empress Dowager!
What?!
That was His Majesty's mother!
Quickly! Pull her up!
I have Her Majesty!
No!
Do not touch me!
Tokuko!
Tokuko, it is not your time!
Your future continues!
No!
Let me go with them!
This eye sees the future!
You continue to live for everyone's sake.
This eye I inherited from Shigemori!
I see them, Tokuko!
Everyone.
The Emperor's little hands... are pressed together...
And the Emperor?
I'm afraid he...
I see...
I have seen all that I must.
My word...
Follow me, all who hold the Heike name dear!
Namu Amida Bu.
You were once an emperor's wife. For you to live in such a shabby place...
Do you not feel constricted?
At one time I did feel that way.
However, this too is a welcome occurrence for my passage into the afterlife.
That is how I feel about it now.
I was born Taira no Kiyomori's daughter,
became the Emperor's wife,
bore His Majesty's child,
enjoyed the beauty of the passing seasons,
knowing neither hunger nor cold...
To be placed in such glory and prosperity,
it felt as if I were in Heaven.
I fled the capital,
my clan spent the days in battle,
and while at sea I could not even drink water.
All living things must perish.
I even saw my child's life extinguish before my eyes...
I have been put through every form of suffering in the human world.
There is not a single one I do not understand.
I wished to claim the Three Sacred Treasures, not your whole clan's lives...
Your Majesty,
there is apparently a Dragon Palace Castle at the bottom of the sea.
I have dreamt of it.
My lady.
I hope this is to your liking.
This is delicious!
I am glad to hear that.
How can one overcome suffering?
Pray.
I too have feelings I still cannot forget.
And so I simply,
I simply press my hands together and pray.
I think of the ones I love,
and I pray for their happiness in the next world.
That small act is what I can do.
And the person who taught me that is also praying for the Heike and passing down our story.
Our clan shall live on in that story.
That story begins like this...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message...
The Buddha's temple bells toll the message
that all existence is impermanent.
The sal tree's blossoms turn white to grieve him:
a reminder that all who flourish must fall.
Indulgence does not last.
It shall but be like a spring night's dream.
The dauntless shall meet their end.
They shall be as mere dust before the wind.
