Takauji Ashikaga, a hero
Takauji Ashikaga is known for being a great hero in this time,
who flourished during this turbulent time…
but the protagonist of our story...
…wasn't the protagonist.
...is someone else.
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
It is time for archery practice.
It’s time for your archery practice.
You can't run away anymore, Lord Tokiyuki!
There’s nowhere for you to run, Lord Tokiyuki!
Sorry.
Oh, sorry.
How nimble!
Oh, whoa! Whoa!
Fool! It's not the time to be impressed!
- Oh! My goodness, he’s nimble! - Huh?
You'll slip and fall, Lord Tokiyuki!
It’s not the time to be impressed, you idiot!
Please come down.
You’ll slip and fall, Lord Tokiyuki!
You don't want to get hurt!
Please come down. Please!
Are you trying to get hurt?
Someone stop him!
Someone stop him!
What's all this commotion?
What is this commotion?
We're in the middle of Takauji's send-off.
We’re in the middle of Lord Ashikaga’s send-off.
But Lord Tokiyuki--
But...
What of the Young Lord?
i-it’s Lord Tokiyuki. He’s, uh--
Huh? What an escape artist.
What about the Young Lord?
That's enough. You may go.
Uh... Huh? How did he...
But, sir…
What an escape artist.
Excuse me, will you let me through?
Enough. You’re dismissed.
As always, you're a masterful player of hide-and-seek, Young Lord.
But I... I...
Mr. Takauji.
Excuse me, may I pass?
Just like I remember.
You’re still an expert at hide-and-seek, my young lord.
L-Lord Takauji.
Takauji Ashikaga.
Takauji Ashikaga.
I depart today for Kyo to quell the former Emperor Godaigo's uprising.
Today, I depart for Kyo to quell the former Emperor Godaigo’s uprising.
I wish to prove my allegiance to you, our future leader, and the Hojo clan.
I wish to prove my allegiance to you, our future leader, and the Hojo clan.
I put my trust in you.
I... I put my trust in you.
I pray the gods be with us
May the gods bestow prosperity upon us,
and may they bestow prosperity to Kamakura and the warrior families.
for Kamakura and our families.
Now, let's get going.
Well...
It’s time to go.
Yes.
Yes.
Don't get nervous over Takauji.
You don’t have to be nervous over Ashikaga.
Kiyoko.
Kiyoko.
You are the rightful heir of the shogunate.
You’re the rightful heir of the shogunate.
One day, you'll be giving him orders.
That means one day soon, you’ll be giving him orders.
And I'm going to be your betrothed, too, so keep your head up.
And don’t forget the best part. I’m going to be your betrothed. Won’t that be lovely?
Funny, I don't remember making such a promise.
Yeah, I don’t remember agreeing to that.
-Smooch. -Lord Tokiyuki!
- Mmm. - Lord Tokiyuki!
Where did he run off to?
Where did he run off to?
I'll bet he's hiding nearby.
He must be around here somewhere.
Sorry, I gotta go, Kiyoko.
Gotta go, Kiyoko.
Catch you later!
Catch you later!
There he goes.
And he’s gone.
Good grief.
No surprise there.
All that boy is good at is running and hiding.
The only things that boy is good at are running away and hiding.
Technically, they're both samurai, but Lord Tokiyuki is nothing like Takauji.
They’re both samurai, but Lord Tokiyuki is nothing like Takauji.
It's true he will inherit the shogunate,
And while it’s true that he’ll inherit the shogunate,
but he's only going to be a puppet ruler, just like his father.
he’ll be nothing more than a puppet ruler like his father.
All right, Lord Takatoki?
Yeah, Lord Takatoki?
We'll handle the rest.
Don’t worry, my lord. We have everything under control.
'Kay.
’Kay.
What's wrong with being a puppet ruler, Father?
What’s wrong with being a puppet ruler, Father?
They still get to lead lavish lives.
They still get to lead lavish lives.
Lord Tokiyuki lacks talent, and he's weak-willed,
Sure, Lord Tokiyuki lacks talent and strength of will,
but he is kind.
but he is kind.
He's the perfect marriage candidate
The perfect husband
for someone from such a distinguished house as myself!
for someone from such a distinguished house as myself!
He's nowhere to be found.
He’s nowhere to be found.
We're powerless once the Young Lord starts taking hiding seriously.
We’re powerless when he takes hiding seriously.
Remember the commotion when he hid inside a chest of armor for two days?
Remember the nightmare he gave us
Rather than all that trouble,
when he hid inside a chest of armor for two full days?
wouldn't it be easier to just go to training?
Going through all that trouble,
Even if it's just in name,
just to avoid doing his training?
he will be the successor to the shogunate one day.
One day, he’ll be the successor to the shogunate,
even if it’s just in name.
His cowardice and idleness set a bad example for the people.

Tokiyuki.

Father is frail, and on top of that, he lacks the conviction to rule.
Father is frail and lacks the conviction to rule.
You'll do him a favor by taking over as soon as possible.
You’ll do him a favor by taking over and soon.
What? But you're the firstborn.
No. I am not the firstborn. You are.
Not a chance.
Not a chance, brother.
If the child of a concubine were to be appointed, it would disturb the peace.
It would disturb the peace if the son of a concubine were to be appointed.
It's in our bloodline to run away in plain sight from anything we don't like.
It’s in our blood to run away as fast as we can
That's not something to be proud of.
from anything we don’t like.
That’s not something to be proud of.
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
I finally found you.
There you are, finally!
Let's get to our archery practice!
You have to go to archery practice now!
Come along!
Let’s go!
Come along!
Come on!
Come! Come! Come!
You’re coming with us!
Big brother, take the dog.
Big brother, if you please.
Sure.
Uh... Oh.
-Tokiyuki! -Lord Tokiyuki!
- Tokiyuki! - Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Wait, please!
Please stop running!
Lord Tokiyuki!
Lord Tokiyuki!

Oh.
My lord!
My lord!
My lord!
My lord!
Young Lord!
Y... Young Lord!
I like this Kamakura.
I like this city. Kamakura.
And I like to see its people smile as they live in peace.
And I love to see the people smiling as they live in peace.
I don't need status or honor.
I don’t need status or honor.
Just living in this city is enough for me.
Just living in this city is enough for me.
Lazy, cowardly. Sure, that's fine.
Lazily, cowardly and happy as a clam.
Why would a mere puppet like me need the power of pen and sword?
I mean, why would a mere puppet like me need the power of pen and sword?
You are not lazy, nor are you a coward.
You are not lazy, nor are you a coward.
Those are merely aspects of the monster asleep within you.
Those aspects are only a part of the monster asleep within you.
That is what Father says.
At least that is what my father says.
Who are you?
Who are you?
"Father"?
Who’s your father?
You're quite the elusive boy, just as I've heard.
You are quite the elusive boy. The rumors are true.
What? Who's this? What's going on?
W-What? Who’s this? Where did you come from? What’s going on?
Honored to make your acquaintance.
Honored to make your acquaintance.
I am a Shinto priest of Shinano Province.
I am the Shinto priest of Shinano Province.
Yorishige Suwa.
My name is Yorishige Suwa.
A Shinto priest from Shinano?
A Shinto priest from Shinano?
Wait, since when did you climb up here?
Wait, when did you climb up here?
I've been up here all along.
Oh, I’ve been up here for a while.
I foresaw a future where you'd climb this tree.
I had a glimpse of the future and saw you climbing this tree.
You've got this incredible sort of aura around your head.
Do you know you have an incredible aura around your head?
Excuse me if it's blinding!
Sorry if it’s blinding you!
I was born with an innate, sacred, holy power,
I was born with an innate sacred power,
and I just can't stop the flow sometimes!
and I just can’t stop the flow sometimes!
I'll dim it down.
Let me dim it down.
I came to pray for Kamakura. To pray for protection from its enemies.
I came here to pray for Kamakura.
I have come to report to your father that it has been completed.
To keep it safe and protected from its enemies.
This is Shizuku, my assistant.
My prayers are done. And now, I am on my way to report this to your father.
She is good at secret arts and general affairs,
This is my assistant Shizuku.
and so I have her help me out.
She excels at secret arts and general affairs,
so I have her help me out.
What a suspicious man.
What a suspicious man.
How did he know I'd be up here?
How could he possibly have known that I would be up here?
Father has the gift to see into the future.
Father possesses the gift of seeing into the future.
His prayers, on the other hand, are a sham.
His prayers, however, are a sham.
Shizuku, you didn't have to say that last part.
Shizuku, that last part, no need.
Do you still doubt me? Let me demonstrate some more.
Still doubt me? Let me demonstrate some more.
Yes, I can see, Lord Tokiyuki,
Yes, I can see it clearly, Lord Tokiyuki,
in the future…
the future tells me that you...
you will…
Uh... Well...
No, that's not right.
It was clear as day...
It's rather that…
No, no, that’s not right.
Actually, more like…
Or it could be the opposite? Wait...
I feel like… he'll live a happy life if he…
Actually, it’s more like...
Wait, happy by whose standards though?
This always happens...
That'd work, but…
He’ll live a happy life, but did I misinterpret that?
that's more of a life lesson.
Happy by whose standards though? And...
For that…
Who knows.
Well, it'll work out the way it's meant to?
It’s all more of a life lesson, right? And...
Excuse me?
I-In that case, I-I...
Everything you said was vague.
I’d say that everything will work out the way it’s meant to?
I can only see in fragments!
Wait, what?
I'd spoil the fun if I saw everything!
Everything you said was totally vague!
But I see something clearly now.
I can only see fragments, okay!
If we were a comedy duo, you would be the straight man.
It would spoil all the fun if I was able to see everything!
That's because you're prattling nonsense!
But now I see something quite clearly.
I also saw two years into your future.
If we were to be a comedy duo, you would be the straight man.
When you're ten years old,
Yeah, because you’re prattling nonsense!
you will become a hero, to shake the very foundations of heaven.
But I did see something in your future two years from now.
You will be a lord of war.
When you’re ten years old, you’ll be a hero.
Some will cower in fear. Others will worship you.
You’ll be someone who shakes the very foundations of heaven.
You will even change the fate of the country.
Some will cower in fear before you,
This is all I can foretell.
while others will worship you. You will be a lord of war.
You see, this is a very powerful…
The fate of the country will be changed by your deeds.
He's the size of a bean!
This is all I can foretell so far.
Father, you revealed too much at once.
Very powerful indeed, don’t you th...
What a finely attuned instinct for detecting danger.
Hmm? He’s almost over the horizon.
That was close.
Oh, Father, you revealed too much at once.
I don't get paid enough allowance to get involved with fake shamans.
Hmm. What an instinct for detecting danger.
Well, that was close.
I don’t get paid enough allowance to have to deal with a fraud shaman.
What a foolish man.
What a foolish man.
Even if he tricks someone like me, all he'll get is surface-level glory.
Even if he had tricked me, there wouldn’t be anything in it for him.
And he looked so serious when he called me a hero.
And yet he looked so serious when he called me a hero.
I can't believe someone like that was just walking around.
Really?
Seriously.
I can’t believe a guy like that was just out there, walking around.
He was seriously shady.
Yeah, I know.
But I think I know what this Mr. Yorishige meant.
Very suspicious.
Your knack for elusiveness is nothing like mine or Father's.
But you know...
You'd definitely be a hero if the right opportunity arose.
I think I understand what this Yorishige was talking about.
I have a gut feeling.
Your elusiveness is not like mine or Father’s.
Huh?
-It’s on a different level. -Huh?
What is it?
I think if there was an opportunity,
No… Where did I kick it to?
you would definitely be a hero.
Maybe it's caught in a tree.
Let’s just say I have a feeling.
We will now raid Kyo and suppress the uprising.
What the...
May we have the God of War's divine protection!
What’s the matter?
Let's go!
The ball. It’s gone?
Maybe it got stuck in a tree?
We will now raid Kyo and crush the uprising.
God of War! Protect us with your divine strength!
Now forward!
Oh?
Viceroy. Viceroy!
Viceroy. Viceroy!
I bring news.
It’s Takauji!
Takauji had been secretly communicating with Emperor Godaigo.
He and Emperor Godaigo have been communicating in secret!
Our army in Kyo has been annihilated!
Our entire army in Kyo has been annihilated.
Samurai have gathered upon hearing of Takauji's valor.
Samurai have gathered upon hearing of Takauji’s valor.
The Nitta Army has exploded in the blink of an eye!
The Nitta Army has become an incredible force overnight!
Even more, Takauji's eldest son, Senjuo,
And Ashikaga’s son, Senjuo,
was entrusted to Yoshisada Nitta and appointed general.
was entrusted to Yoshisada Nitta and appointed general.
And they're sending the army towards Kamakura.
Now the army is headed towards Kamakura.
Damn you. Why have you betrayed us--
Damn you. Why have you betrayed us?
I hear a voice.
I hear a voice.
Who speaks to me?
Who speaks to me?
Who is it that guides me to be ruler above all?
Tell me,
Father…
who will guide me to be ruler above all?
We've been waiting for you, Lord Tokiyuki.
That’s... Father...
In his last moments, your father commanded me to help you escape.
We’ve been waiting for you, Lord Tokiyuki.
He regrets such young life not seeing its days.
In his final moments,
I will shelter you in my territory of Suwa in Shinano.
your father gave me the order to help you escape.
Yorishige Suwa…
He didn’t want your young life to be wasted.
How come you're here?
You are going to come and stay with me,
We're short on time.
in my territory of Suwa in Shinano.
Now come.
Yorishige Suwa...
I foresaw this tragedy with my divine eye.
How come you’re here?
We have been taking defensive measures for this event
Time is against us.
in the case of its slightest chance.
Come.
My men and horses are hidden past this hill.
My divining eyes showed me the future. I foresaw this tragedy.
We must go quickly.
We prepared ourselves in case this event would come to pass.
Once we cross the hill,
we’ll find my men and horses hidden there.
We must hurry.
No.
No.
I'll end my life like my father and our clan.
I will end my life like my father and our clan did.
I won't allow it.
I won’t allow it.
What will happen to Japan if you were to die here?
If I let you die here with them, what would happen to the fate of Japan?
What of it?
What do you mean?
You know, it'll…
You know, Young Lord, it will...
I think…
That’s a good question. What exactly do I tell the boy?
But who am I to decide that?
I think that...
I guess your death won't bring that big of a change.
But who am I to decide this?
It may be a little… for those guys, but…
Maybe your death wouldn’t change things after all.
Not that it's a big inconvenience…
Though it would certainly be...
It's hell on earth.
Man will suffer no matter what. He is doomed.
Kamakura is being completely destroyed by the traitorous samurai.
It’s no inconvenience for the gods.
This is hell.
Kamakura is in ruins.
Traitorous samurai are killing everyone in their path.
Takauji Ashikaga.
Takauji Ashikaga.
For him to be this thorough…
I didn’t expect him to be this thorough.
Takauji…
Takauji... But he...
Who are you?
Who are you?
I'm a vassal from Shimotsuke.
I’m a vassal from Shimotsuke.
Takauji Ashikaga.
My name is Takauji Ashikaga.
Young Lord, you can't run from Takauji!
Young Lord, you can’t run from Takauji! I’ve got you!
That smile of his before…
His smile back then seemed so real.
Was it all a lie?
Was it all a lie?
Let's get revenge, Lord Tokiyuki.
Lord Tokiyuki, we have to take revenge.
I, Yorishige, will help you.
I, Yorishige, will be standing by your side.
This smile is also a lie. It's absolutely a lie.
- Aah. -This smile is a lie too. All of it is a lie.
Go away.
Just go.
Do you really think I could trust a fake shaman like you?
I could never trust a fraudulent shaman like you.
How rude!
You insult me!
You dare call me a fake while I am simply overflowing with holy energy?
How dare you call me a fraud?
Father, a fake is a fake, so don't make excuses.
I am overflowing with holy energy. Can’t you see?
My own Shizuku! Back me up!
He’s right, Father.
We can't avenge my father.
A fraud is a fraud, so stop it with the excuses.
It's obvious if you look.
Even you, Shizuku? Come on!
We cannot avenge my father.
Can’t you see? It’s obvious.
Even for Yoritomo Minamoto, it took five years to defeat the Heike clan.
Even for Yoritomo Minamoto, it took five years to defeat the Heike clan.
Was there a man before Takauji who destroyed an entire country in 24 days?
Was there a man before Ashikaga who destroyed an entire country in 24 days?
The other day, you spouted nonsense that I would become a hero,
The other day, you told me a fairy tale about how I would become a great hero,
but future generations will only apply that word
but future generations will only use this term
to someone strong like Takauji Ashikaga.
when they talk about someone strong like Takauji Ashikaga.
Since I've been defeated, it would be a disgrace if I didn't die.
Now that I’ve been defeated, it would be disgraceful not to choose death.
So let me die like an honorable warrior, like my people did.
So let me die with honor as a samurai
like my father and my people.
Very well.
Very well.
Then die.
Then to your death.
It's the Hojo child!
Mmm?
When you're in the depths of despair and thrown into the abyss of death…
It’s the Hojo child!
Hey.
When you’re thrown into the depths of despair...
…that is where the hero within you shines!
When you feel death’s chilling embrace...
Hey. I could have died.
Oy.
You said it would be a disgrace if you didn't die,
...that is the moment the hero within you shines!
yet you jumped out of there to save your skin.
You know I could have died just now?
That was the hero in you.
You said it would be disgraceful to live,
Running and hiding are good skills for a hero.
yet you jumped out of certain death to save yourself.
Above! Shoot to kill!
That, my lord, was the hero in you.
Your survival instinct is monstrous.
Running and hiding are necessary skills any hero needs to possess.
You know better than anyone how to survive.
Up there! Fire at will!
You love the tingling tension between life and death.
Your instinct to live is incredibly monstrous.
What a pain for Takauji who just killed our lord and took a whole country.
No one knows how to survive better than you.
Because the one he should definitely kill next,
You love the intense thrill of dancing between life and death.
the one who will inherit the Kamakura shogunate,
Takauji, who just killed our lord and took a whole country,
has more talent than anyone to escape death.
will soon experience a rough awakening.
Takauji becomes a hero by killing, and you become a hero by living.
The boy who’ll inherit the Kamakura shogunate,
You two are heroes with opposed fates.
the one he needs to kill,
Of course, you can't win if you only run and hide.
knows how to escape the grip of death like no other.
Allies, military strength, intellect…
Takauji becomes a hero by killing,
Everything you need to win, I will give to you.
and you become a hero by living.
As long as you're breathing, Takauji will eventually come to kill you himself.
You two are heroes who have opposing fates to each other.
Till then, you'll run and hide, become stronger,
Of course, a hero can’t win by running and hiding alone.
and defeat the demons that come for you.
Allies, military strength, intellect...
Now, it's time to start the game of tag to reclaim the throne!
I will provide you everything you need to be victorious.
Mr. Yorishige, what do you really want?
As long as you still take breath,
What do you gain by saving the child of a ruined country?
Takauji will have no choice but to come and kill you himself at some point.
It is all for my devotion to the Hojo clan!
Till that day comes, you will run and hide, and grow in strength,
If a fake shaman were to say that, I doubt you would believe it.
and defeat the demons that are coming for you.
I'll tell you everything someday.
Now, it’s time to play a game of tag to reclaim the throne!
When you take back Kamakura.
Mr. Yorishige, what is it that you really want?
I'm a disgrace.
What do you gain by saving the child of a country in ruins?
As the son of a samurai,
I do it for my devotion to the Hojo clan! That is all.
I'm supposed to be dead alongside my people.
So, Young Lord, tell me, would you believe me, a fraudulent shaman?
Because of you, I've awakened to the joy of living.
One day, I will tell you everything.
Mr. Yorishige, I'll have you take responsibility for this.
When you have avenged your father and reclaimed Kamakura.
Of course.
I’m a disgrace.
I will serve you unto the pits of hell.
As a samurai’s son,
I have the duty to forfeit my life.
I should be dead alongside my clan and my people.
Yet because of you, I’ve awakened to the joy of living.
Mr. Yorishige, you are responsible for this.
Of course, my young lord.
I will walk with you through the very depths of hell.
Just as Yorishige prophesied,
Just as Yorishige prophesied,
in two years, Tokiyuki would shake all of Japan.
two years later, Tokiyuki would shake Japan to its core.
In a time when death is the honorable path,
Hyah!
this boy outraced all that befell him and attempted to overthrow the shogun.
In a time where death was the honorable path,
Thus began the tumultuous life of the elusive samurai prince!
this boy outran all the challenges aiming to destroy him,
and attempted to overthrow the shogun.
So began the adventurous life of the elusive samurai prince.
Let’s go!
