KOSHUDO ROUTE - YOSHINO INN TADAMARU SUWA A Shadow... Shadows are imperial ninjas. Under the officer's orders, they infiltrate various feudal lords' land. They plan to wipe out the clans, probing each feudal territory. They are a group with formidable skills. Don't get close! What? They couldn't stab him? Then Tadamaru may still live. No, according to the report, he was mortally wounded. It is almost impossible for him to be alive. So naive. How can we get Tadamaru to the Edo residence, without

the enemy noticing? Tadamaru is only five years old. If the lord dies and there is no heir, the Takashima clan will be destroyed by decree of the shogunate. I need to end the Takashima clan, so that my wish to make my son the lord of a castle be fulfilled, but now I don't know if they finished him off. He, who was a mere servant, became an officer. All my efforts... But thanks to you, he... An intruder! Get him! Come here, bastard! Stop! Get him! Quick! Stop! Stop! Halt! Stop! What was that? Oh,

look. Look. What are you talking about? Oh, there goes another one. Oh, fireworks. Look, there are fireworks. What? I said there are fireworks. Look. What was that? That light was too strange for fireworks. It looked like some kind of signal. Sir, your payment... There were three men who dared to stand up to the Shadows, and face the enormous conspiracy of the shogunate head on. Everyone called them... "Shadow Hunters." It's been a while. Come on! Right when I was having fun. I bet you were wit

h a prostitute. What do you know, you've never been with a woman. You barely leave the tavern. One of these days you'll contract a horrible disease. Calm down now. Well, what is it now? Young Tadamaru of the Suwa Takashima clan was attacked by a Shadow. They're going to take him to the Yoshino Inn, to perform the sankin-kotai. Let's go! Hey, are they going to pay us? SHADOW HUNTERS Something's wrong. Is Tadamaru really inside that carriage? Sasaki! Yes! We'll rest in this sanctuary. Go give the

message. Yes! At ease! My lord, your medicine. Is he in there? It's impossible for Tadamaru to be in there if he's badly injured. Still... Alright, I'll go check inside the carriage. You go back to Yoshino Inn. Tadamaru may still be here. Understood. It's no use hiding him. Tell us where he is! I know nothing. I don't know, I swear. It wasn't until last night that we learned that Mr. Tadamaru was hurt. They wouldn't let us in, we don't know what happened afterwards. I swear! This morning, after

the procession, the three samurai stayed behind. Three? Yes. They just came from behind. Really? I swear! They told me, "We'll come from behind, but don't look at us. We'll kill anyone who looks at us." What else did they tell you? They asked if there was a Buddhist craftsman nearby. Buddhist craftsman? Yes. Are you sure they asked about a craftsman? Yes! Damn them! This was the work of a Shadow. He died before confessing. Perhaps it was the samurai of the Takashima clan who did it. But why? SH

ADOW HUNTERS Stop! Just three days, just three more days. I ask you to be patient. Bastard! Protect the lord! It's not him! Is this really Tadamaru? They changed him? We should've seen it coming... Make sure that Tadamaru is still alive. If he's alive, kill him! If he's dead, take his corpse and put it where everyone can see it. His corpse? They could hide his death, adopt some random child and make him the next heir... Anyway, they must have gone through Urakaido. Hurry! Open the lid a bit to l

et some air in. I'll go get water. Just a little longer, master. Yoshioka! It's the Shadow... They found out about the change. This is bad! Let's go. Welcome. Come through here. Come in. Ready. What are you...? Just looking. They'll catch us if we stay here. We must attack. No. We can't afford to die. But...! We'll only be trapped here. What if they attack us? In any case, our priority is to protect him from the enemy. We have to get him out. Excuse me. Come in. Excuse us. You're from the Takash

ima clan, right? Quiet. It looks like you need help. Who are you? What? Don't you want our help? What are you doing? I'm showing them we're here. There are plenty of them. Can you kill that Shadow? Where is Tadamaru? In there? Wait! No matter what happens, we'll take this to the Edo residence! I don't know if you're admirable or dumb. Do you think you have what it takes to get out of here alive? While carrying that chest on your back? Help us. How much do you want? Yoshioka! How much? How about

100 ryos? 100 ryos. 100 ryos? Yoshioka! Only three days left. We must get to Edo at any cost, or the family will be endangered. It's decided. We'll help you. First of all, is Tadamaru in there? Excuse me. Here you go. Does anyone want to take a bath? A bath? Yes, I'd love one. Take care of this. Jubei! It's the Shadow Hunters! We found him. He's in there. I see. So you are the ones who came through Urakaido. Excuse me, are you staying the night? No, sorry for the inconvenience. We'll leave at ni

ghtfall. It's okay. And? If we spend any more time here, what's inside... Anyway, I'll carry the chest. Another room please. I would like to leave our luggage there. I won't allow it! The chest is ours. Do you think that's wise? Yes, it is. To the other room! This way, please. Mister. Yes? Is there an antique store around here? Yes, there is one. Yes. There's a river up ahead, right? It can't be crossed. A captain told me so when I got here. The rain from two days ago raised the water levels and

no boats can set sail. Then what do we do? Come closer. SHADOW HUNTERS YOKOYAMA If we can't cross the river, we'll go up the river and cross the valley... But that road is inaccessible, there is a Kawagoe clan checkpoint. Besides, they could attack us at any moment. And the river is still unsafe. It's all or nothing. There is no other way. For 100 ryos? I think we gave them a bargain. We must deliver that chest no matter what. Tadamaru is only five years old. He's just an innocent child. And he

's a feudal lord... It reminds me of a terrible story. Mr. Jubei... Jubei... I really messed up. He wanted to see the vase that the Shogun himself had placed there. When I gave it to him, he accidentally dropped it. What was presented at the Shogun's tea ceremony on his way to Edo... ...was this vase. And now it's broken. And the Shadow of the Shogun is prowling around right now. It's inevitable, the shogunate will find out. Last year, a sword given by the Shogun was stolen. No matter how hard t

he Tendo clan tried to hide it, they found out. They even took away their property. At this rate... Officer? As the master's caretaker, I will take the blame. Yes, we will both share the blame. No. It doesn't matter how many people turn themselves in. Why? Look what happened to the Tendo clan! Despite the officer and many vassals accepting the blame, they weren't forgiven in the end. The only way to save the Mori clan and keep it alive... ...is by handing over the feudal lord to express our reve

rence. What are you saying? Jubei... How else can we apologize to the shogunate? We have to do something to avoid rthe shogunate's wrath, or we will be persecuted as traitors. But our lord is only five years old. If we tell them it was a child's mistake, perhaps the shogunate... Don't be a fool, Jubei! What if they don't forgive us? What will you do if they sentence us regardless? If that happens, we won't be able to fix it! Should I commit seppuku? My lord. I would never let you do it alone. Al

low me, Jubei, to do the same after you. I beg of you. And I, Ji. My lord, allow me, Saemon Oba, to be punished with you as well. I beg you. Jubei, if I die, everyone will be saved, right? But I don't know how to commit seppuku. What should I do? Could you teach me, Jubei? Father. Isn't there anything we can do to save the young master's life? If we could have someone else, I... We want to do it, too, but the shogunate's punishments are very severe. It's said that when vassals try to cover mista

kes up, they see it as an excuse to annihilate the whole family. Mr. Jubei. To do something so terrible just before the festivities... Our master is only five years old. I don't want him to commit seppuku. It won't be an actual seppuku. They said that, when he takes the dagger, an executioner must step in to do it. Father... ...will you do it? Ji! My lord... ¡Ji! My lord! Shobei! What are you doing? This is disgraceful! Lord Kaizuka. ¡Ji! My lord, take the dagger! My lord! I'm scared! I don't wa

nt to. I don't want to cut my belly. My lord, don't be impertinent! Like Jubei. I don't want to, Jubei! My lord... Sit down, please. My lord... ...you won't actually cut your belly. It's a fan. You just have to pretend to cut your belly with it. I only have to pretend? Yes. Really? Yes. How dare you do that to the lord? Keep it together, Mr. Jubei! Stop! Lord Kaizuka! Father! I brought you something to eat. Leave it there. Is the food for Tadamaru? How bad do you think his injuries are? They won

't talk. Hey, wake up. I have a bad feeling. Apparently, this job is going to be difficult. Please hold on a little longer. Excuse me. SHADOW HUNTERS Father! I can't commit oibara? Why? The new heir has already been recognized. Also, if you were to die like this only to challenge the shogunate, the persecution of your clan, which has already been forgotten, would resume. And just so you know, it's been decided that the new heir will be my firstborn... ...Naomichi. In the Kurushima family there a

re only princesses. My family, the Oba, is distantly related to the main branch. Hey, Jubei, this is for the benefit of the clan. Of course, I've also thought about what to do with you. Jubei, you should know by now. I don't know! I see. So you don't know. Officer! Oba! Officer Oba! Take revenge? On the one who killed your father. It doesn't matter if you're a woman, it's your duty to avenge him as his daughter. Mr. Jubei! Mr. Jubei! He is a deserter. Don't forget that the traitor Jubei is the e

nemy. Remember that, if you don't kill him, the rest of the Kaizuka clan will be blames. Do you understand? Hey, look at that woman. Ignore her. Whatever you say. What's wrong with Jubei? Everyone has their own business. Don't meddle. Either way, it's making me feel uneasy. Which chest is it? I don't know. However, it was well thought out by Jubei. Besides hiding him from the enemy, he didn't tell us which one is the real one. Thus, the enemy will have to split up. Since no one knows which one i

s the real one, we must protect each chest as best we can. Tadamaru must be very uncomfortable in there, too. Being locked up and constantly shaken... Breathing must be hard. Unless... Don't say that. It breaks my heart that a child has to experience that. Hey, didn't you hear a groan from inside the chest? No, it's the cicadas. And I'm the deaf one... A boat. Perfect. If we take the boat across the river, we'll reach Edo a day early. What should we do? Let's steal it. Let's go. Alright. Wait. I

t's a trap. If we take the boat, we will be defenseless. That is what the enemy expects. That's right, let's go up the mountain! It will be safer. Don't say that! We need to get to Edo as soon as possible. Let's go! Wait! Keep going. Stop. We need the ship, captain! - Get off, quick! Get off! Kikukawa! Kikukawa! Kikukawa. Kikukawa. Wow, as expected, it's colder deep in the mountain, Listen, in these situations it's best to stay together. In company, you know. Come on, don't be stubborn, alright?

She's a tough nut. SHADOW HUNTERS What's wrong? Wasn't that woman coming with us? I saw her going into the woods at dawn. I thought she needed a moment. If it worries you so much, go get her. I think I'll do it. What's wrong with you? You need to focus. It's the checkpoint. What do we do? If we could talk to them... Should we attack? Of course not. If we attack, the Takashima clan will be disgraced. But... Yoshioka. There's no other option. Let's go! Hey, wait! I said wait. What are you doing?

I need a favor I am Shinichiro Yoshioka, guard of the Suwa Takashima clan. I have a permit. Here. It's authentic. However, why would the people of the Takashima clan take this route? You see... we came to see the Yoshino inn's master on the Koshu route, but since we have urgent business in Edo, we left earlier than planned. Unfortunately, we were stranded in the Yokoyama river. That's why we took this route. That must have been tough. You must be exhausted. I don't know what happened up there, b

ut why don't you rest here? I appreciate it. If we leave earlier, I'll let you know. Alright. Due to our friendship with the Takashima clan, I should let you through without searching you, but... Mr. Yoshioka... Would you allow me to see what's inside the chests? Clan laws state we must search the belongings of any travelers or groups due to the sankin-kotai. Forgive me, but it's my job. But the prosperity of our clan depends on this journey. I implore you, let us through. I can't do that. I beg

of you! I ask that you to forget the search of our belongings! Life in the 30,000 kokus of the Takashima clan is at stake! I beg of you! I beg of you! Mr. Yoshioka, I would like nothing more than to let you through. However, I can't do it this time. Why? Why so much insistence? It's a direct order from the Shogun. Therefore, Mr. Yoshioka, I must search your belongings... no matter what. Put them down. But... Go ahead and do it, but... these objects are very valuable to the Takashima clan. Anyon

e who is not from the checkpoint must leave. Agreed? Agreed. You heard him. I, Soemon Masuda, will conduct the search as the post representative. Stand aside. The key. It's young Tadamaru's... It's his helmet. I'll pass on the report. Done. Let's go! Cover us, we'll act as decoys. Let's go! Wait! Bastard! Okitsu! He's not in here. It's empty! Hey, hold on! Nothing! What! They escaped? My apologies. However, my subordinates are after them. Hunters are crossing the valley by the riverbank. It's om

perative to go to Tamagawa Dam. I'll make sure... The Takashima clan has urgently requested an adoption, due to young Tadamaru's sudden illness. They only have one day left. The imperial court insists that it be approved immediately. However, if it turns out that Tadamaru is already dead, our orders are to annihilate the family. And to expose his corpse to the whole world, no matter what. I'll confirm it with my own eyes. Bring me a horse! SHADOW HUNTERS We can't keep running away. Oba will hunt

us until we're dead. Now we will have to face Oba. Well, we'll have to be on the offensive. Chiaki... the water is freezing. It's nice. Get ready! Finally... ...I can see it. How do you think I've felt these last five years? Why? I murdered your father. I deserve your revenge. But before that, I must kill Oba. It's what I've been after for five years... I, too... I too have been chasing you these last five years. But... when I saw you in Yokoyama... Why did you leave... without a word? Mr. Jube

i! What are you doing? Where are the Shadow Hunters? Still haven't caught them? There's no doubt they will take this path. Catch them, do whatever it takes! Is it clear? - Yes! - Yes! There they are! Quick! Jubei! Stand aside! Here come the Shadow Hunters! The Shadow Hunters have arrived! You are finally here, Jubei. Here's what you've been waiting for the most. Show me what you've got! Today is the day your head will be mine! Thanks for going through the trouble of delivering him to us. The pro

blem here is that you decided to accompany him. Chiaki, I knew you wouldn't be able to do it. Not only did you forget he's your father's enemy, but you also joined these wretched criminals of the Empire. What disgrace! Stop those who stormed the checkpoint! Go, Chiaki! Quick! Go now, Chiaki! I don't want to! Chiaki! You will live, I promise. Mr. Jubei. Do not die. Mr. Jubei! Fool! Not yet! Not yet! What are you doing? We must take his head. Damn you, Jubei! Oba! Here's who you're looking for. Ju

bei... You may recognize this white fan. You don't know the pain you put young Kikuchiyo through! You bastard! Kill him! Chiaki... Jubei! Chiaki... My lord! The Takashima clan just received... the Emperor's permission to adopt a new heir. This is largely due to your work. Thanks to you, life in the 30,000 kokus of the Takashima clan will continue. We are deeply grateful to you. The Tadamaru thing is from the Sengoku era. It's said that the head was kept with lacquer and gold leaf to stop its put

refaction in the summer. It's based on that legend. I see. Let's leave them alone, so he can say goodbye. Subtitles @ CALIGRAMA EDITORES
