Gun-dou Musashi (2006–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - War-shattered Age, Again - full transcript

Presented by Strelizia subs

The seventh month of 1600 AD, or Keicho 5.

Charging Tokugawa Ieyasu with thirteen articles of impeachment,

Ishida Mitsunari sent messengers to various daimyo in the name of the Toyotomi clan,

telling them to raise armies.

At the same time, beings seeking to end the period of turbulence

and build a kingdom to last a thousand years

were about to awaken from a thousand-year sleep.

And then...

On the fifteenth day of the ninth month, at Sekigahara,

the Eastern Army of Tokugawa Ieyasu clashed with



the Western Army of the Toyotomi clan and Ishida Mitsunari.

As a result of the performance of Kobayakawa Hideaki's troops,

the Western Army of the Toyotomi clan and
Ishida Mitsunari achieved a sweeping victory,

bringing what should have been
three hundred years of peace to the world.

You should all be quite familiar with this story...

You must have forgotten me by now.

I'm Danjo, the samurai that
serves Princess Kaguya.

The demon gun that Musashi got from
Takuan once belonged to Mitsuhide Akechi,

who used it to kill
Nobunaga Oda at Honnoji.

Mitsuhide's betrayal was an act
committed under the influence of the demon.

I didn't know anything about that, really.

I was out of my mind.

On the other hand, we have the ayakashi
plot to capture Princess Kaguya.

The worst part is that I didn't
even realize that was their plan.



What do I do? What do I do?

What would I do if something
happened to Princess Kaguya?

The War-Torn
World Returns

Princess Kaguya, wait for me!

You're going too fast!

Princess Kaguya!

Danjo, you poor thing!

What about your reputation as the
vanguard samurai of Sekigahara?

Princess!

I'm hungry as hell!

Musashi, you said you wanted
to go East, but where exactly?

Recently,, I've been feeling
nervous and I didn't know why.

I have reflected a lot on it and
now I understand the reason.

So you want to go East to calm the nerves?

Don't you?

I guess it is worth going.

Thank you.

So, what's East?

Something that will finally satisfy you?

A castle!

A super modern castle that has just been built!

You want to conquer it?

Of course!

Our real business is robbing castles!

We are not ayakashi hunters.

So, who owns this castle?

Date Masamune, the One-Eyed Dragon!

The Aoba Castle?

But Sendai is not around the corner.

We'll make the trip, and during it, we can
search for information on the second gun.

I understand.

It's not a bad idea to take a
detour before going to Sendai.

Right?

Am I hearing things?

My Lord!

My Lord!

My Lord?

My Lord, where are you?

My Lord...

My Lord!

Mitsunari!

My Lord, that's dangerous!

Come down, please!

Mitsunari, the brush.

Give me that brush back.

The brush?

It comes from the barbarians
of the South, I like it a lot.

So? Not too bad, right?

As expected of my Lord.

Your late father Hideyoshi
was also good at painting.

You mean to say he was better than me?

Certainly not!

Painting is a wonderful thing,
but don't forget politics...

No, no!

I trust you completely to handle that sort of thing.

But you are the great general who
rules over the Land of the Rising Sun!

I beg of you, in order to keep
the peace as your father wished...

That's enough!
You ruined my good mood!

I beg for your forgiveness.

Where is my older sister?

Princess Kaguya?

I don't remember having any others!

I am sorry to remind you that Princess Kaguya
is the adoptive daughter of Lord Hideyoshi.

She does not have your blood.

I know!

That doesn't change the
fact that she matters to me!

I asked you where my sister Kaguya is!

I haven't finished her portrait!

Yasha? Where do we stand?
What about Kaguya?

Where is she?

She left Osaka Castle.

Where did she go?

Looks like she went for
a ride to distract herself.

To distract herself?

She had to get some air.

Her being on Toyotomi's side puts
my dreams of taking power in danger.

I assure you your dreams of
taking power are not over.

If we forget about the Moon Princess, your reign,
Lord Ieyasu, will undoubtedly take place.

It would displease me greatly otherwise!

What do we do about Kaguya?

If it's full moon night, we can take action.

But during the new moon, that's when
the ayakashi are most vulnerable.

It's not the best time to act.

But should we do nothing?

In two weeks, the Toyotomi will
attempt to seal the ayakashi.

We cannot let ourselves be caught off guard!

Am I wrong?

No.

Princess Kaguya, run away!

What does it look like I'm doing?

What is it?

My Meiretsu is trembling a bit.

Did it sense an ayakashi?

Perhaps, but it must be far away.

Doesn't matter. If we fight every
ayakashi we find, we'll wear ourselves out.

Exactly.

Are you Musashi Miyamoto?

Who are you?

I am Hidetada Tokugawa.

One of leyasu's sons?

So you are him.

I am sorry about your defeat in Sekigahara.

If you had won, you father would be
shogun by now and you would be his heir.

War hinges on luck, no reason to regret the past.

So, what do you want from us?

Princess Kaguya!

You'll pay for that!

I will not forget!

This is delicious!

I am glad you like it.

The long journey from Sumpu was worth it.

Sumpu? Weren't you in Edo?

Edo is full of monsters,
men cannot live there.

So it's true that Edo was invaded by ayakashi.

So, what do you want from us?

I apologize for stopping
you suddenly to ask this.

I wish to ask for your help, Musashi Miyamoto.

I ask you to kill my father, leyasu Tokugawa!

Princess, run away!

Curse you!

Princess, quickly, run away.

Princess... so strong.

I'm being underestimated.

The ayakashi attack me on a new moon day, when they are vulnerable.

Do you understand, Princess?

Let's get back, quickly.

Let's get back quickly to Osaka Castle.

Agreed, I was able to get some action.

Princess...

The ayakashi are indeed weak during new moon.

However, we can make up for
the weakness with numbers.

Princess!

Princess Kaguya!

You monster, let go of me!

Princess Kaguya!

Kill leyasu Tokugawa?

What do you mean?

My father is no longer himself.

That was two years ago.

After the defeat at Sekigahara, a samurai came
to talk to my father, who give in to despair.

What?

So the army of the East that should have won?

And in that case, you would
have established the shogunate

in this land of Edo and
ushered in an era of peace.

Bullshit! The outcome of
battle hinges on luck!

It was the army of the West
that won at Sekigahara!

And today it is the Toyotomi
clan that rules in Osaka.

Yasha, have you gone mad?

It is our current world that has gone mad.

Yasha?

He is the handsome guy
we saw near Osaka Castle.

So him and that scoundrel
leyasu are accomplices?

Well, it's not hard to believe.

After that, this Yasha decided to
stay close to my father permanently.

Then...

Little Hidetada...

Little Hidetada?

Finish your story later.

It's close...

Where is it?

What is happening?

The carriage is moving without horses.

And it's going fast!

It's simple.

It's moving with ayakashi powers.

Have they kidnapped someone?

- Wanna help?
- Of course!

Maybe there is a beautiful maiden inside!

You look happy.

In fact...

I wish I could handle this gun perfectly.

Are you sure?

If you overdo with the first before finding the second, you will become a demon.

I don't care.
If it happens, it happens.

I don't know who you are,
damsel, but we will save you!

But it would be good if you were beautiful!

We don't even know if it's a woman.

No, I'm certain it's a beautiful girl!

I did it!

Musashi again.

We have no chance against him in a new moon.

One would think the ayakashi would give up.

Let's see...

Let's take a look at our
beautiful maiden in the carriage.

I can't be helped,
he wants it to be a woman.

Princess Kaguya!

That's Princess Kaguya?

Is this the first time you've seen her?

She's making a weird face.

Hidetada!

Princess Kaguya, I must kill you!

So Ryogen is leyasu Tokugawa?

And what is Kaguya's true identity?

Is this a joke?
