TAIGA DRAMA
When we return, shall we
eat eels again?
Kichinosuke, who defied
the kokufu Hisamitsu...
was sent into exile again.
Then...
Shortly after Kichinosuke
left Kyoto...
a tragic incident occurred
at Terada-ya...
where his Satsuma
comrades killed each other.
SATSUMA CLAN'S LODGING, KAGI-YA
Sir Okubo.
You should at least eat
a little, or you'll get sick.
I brought rice balls.
Please eat.
For not preventing the
Terada-ya incident...
Ichizo took the blame and
requested to be confined.
We won't let Arima's death
have been for naught.
We will change Japan.
Kichinosuke...
please wait a bit.
I promise to bring you back.
Ichizo...
I'll be waiting.
TOKUNOSHIMA
Kichinosuke was sent
to Tokunoshima.
Murata Shinpachi was
sent to Kikaijima.
That was Hisamitsu's punishment
for the two who defied him.
He received no stipend.
He had to obtain his own
food and necessities.
Can you see Oshima
from this island?
No, you can't.
Is there someone you know?
No.
Dear!
Dear!
Dear!
Don't trip and fall!
Dear.
Aikana.
Why?
I wanted you to meet this child.
She's a healthy girl.
A girl?
What a lovely child.
That's your daddy.
My, he's grown!

Episode 24: To the Ends of the Earth
Kiku...
and grass...
reads as Kikuso.
Your father named you...
Kikuso.
It's a nice name.
She has such a lovely face.
She's the cutest baby
I've ever seen.
I think she resembles you.
She must be irresistible.
It's not good to look like me.
No one will want to marry
someone who looks like me.
Kikujiro.
Kikuso.
Thank you.
It must've been tiring
to come such a long way.
We owe it to my brother.
A MONTH AGO
Uncle Samin, please let me go!
Please get permission to go
to the island by boat.
Your baby is due soon.
You can't cross the sea
in that condition.
Give up.
If he were in Satsuma,
I'd give up.
But...
he's within reach.
Why must I give up?
Please let me go to Tokunoshima!
No!
You can't blame her.
Uncle Samin, I'll go with her.
I'll protect Aikana, so...
please allow it.
Aikana?
Are you in labor?
Call Yuta!
Is that what happened?
Tomiken, thank you.
Until you return to Satsuma...
please let me stay with you.
All right.
Please stay by me.
EDO - Satsuma Clan's Mansion
Meanwhile, Hisamitsu...
was acknowledged by the
Court for his efforts in Kyoto.
He succeeded in sending an
imperial envoy to Edo Castle.
EDO CASTLE
TOKUGAWA IEMOCHI - 14th Shogun
I'll accept the imperial letter.
After Ii Naosuke's death...
the shogunate's authority
gradually declined.
The court's authority, backed by
Hisamitsu's powerful military,
could not be ignored.
The shogun accepted the
imperial letter respectfully.
Good!
This was unprecedented...
since the shogunate
was established.
As a result, the shogunate...
appointed Hitotsubashi
Yoshinobu, who had been
ousted from politics during the
days of the Ansei Purge,
as the shogun's guardian...
and Matsudaira Shungaku as
chief administrative officer.
EDO - Fukui Clan Mansion
Sir Hitotsubashi, thank you
for coming.
Please sit here.
I was formally thanking the
kokufu of Satsuma.
Isn't that right, kokufu?
I am honored.
Sir Hitotsubashi.
I feel you are both needed...
for the future of Japan.
My late brother must be
most happy about this.
Going forward, I'll take the
place of my late brother...
and work hand in hand
with both of you...
to strengthen Japan to the
level of the foreigners.
That is my wish.
Shimazu.
Are you trying to imitate
your late brother?
What do you know about Japan?
Don't talk of it lightly.
Sir Hitotsubashi, aren't you
being a bit rude?
If anything, he's the
insolent one.
Echizen, you are the chief
administrative officer.
I'm the shogun's guardian.
And what is your title?
I... am the kokufu of Satsuma.
What is with that dialect?
Kokufu?
You're just a retiree.
No one knows who you are in Edo.
What are you saying!?
Your appointments...
were possible because I
asked His Majesty.
Do not forget that.
Huh?
I don't understand.
Speak in Japanese.
Your older brother, Nariakira...
was a sharp man with foresight.
But you are...
nothing like your brother.
You're just a rustic.
What!?
Don't casually talk about
His Majesty.
It's an insult to him!
Being chummy with us
to earn yourself a name...
is out of your league.
If you're done with business,
go back to Satsuma.
Didn't the ox-faced man come?
Isn't it a lie that he died?
Excuse me, but...
are you referring to Saigo?
If you want to have a heart-
to-heart talk with me...
bring Saigo.
It's useless to talk to you.
Meanwhile, Kichinosuke...
spent peaceful days with
Aikana, Kikujiro, and Kikuso.
On the fifth day after Aikana
came to Tokunoshima...
Aikana.
He's going to grow big.
Kikujiro, you have to become
big like your father.
Be strong in wrestling, too.
How about a match?
Sounds good. Let's do it.
You better not lose.
What are you saying?
I'm beating him today.
Bring it on.
Is Saigo here?
What can I do for you?
Your exile to Tokunoshima
has been changed.
You are being exiled to
Okinoerabu-jima instead.
Okinoerabu?
It is the clan's order.
Understood.
I humbly accept.
Until the boat is arranged...
you'll stay at the governor's
office.
Yes, sir.
Why?
Why is he being sent to
Okinoerabu?
Stop, Aikana.
Don't make a fuss.
I won't run or hide.
Please allow me to bid
farewell to my family.
Make it brief.
Again.
Satsuma is getting farther.
I'll be fine.
Ichizo will bring me back.
Tomiken, thank you.
Aikana...
thank you.
These five days was like
a dream.
Okinoerabu-jima, where
Kichinosuke was being sent...
was an island furthest away
from Satsuma.
Once exiled there...
most would not return.
It was a hinterland.
Hisamitsu ordered that...
he be exiled to a distant island
and confined in a pen.
Being exiled and jailed...
was very unusual and severe.
Tsuchimochi.
Saigo Kichinosuke...
for defying the order of the
kokufu, Sir Shimazu Hisamitsu...
you'll be jailed on this island.
Be resigned to your fate.
How brutal.
What...
would you have to do...
to receive that punishment?
Sensei.
I'm Tsuchimochi Masateru.
TSUCHIMOCHI MASATERU - Island Officer
I never expected to meet
you in person.
This is like a dream.
Sensei.
I'm his mother, Tsuru.
My son was born on
this island, but...
he was educated in Satsuma
and returned as an officer.
I'm not familiar with your dialect.
This is my mother, Tsuru.
She said I was born on
this island, but...
TSURU - Masateru's Mother
was educated in Satsuma
and returned as an officer.
Is that right?
My son has told me about
how great you are.
I didn't expect you to commit
a crime and be exiled here.
Mom!
For the sake of Japan...
he's trying to change Japan.
Why is such an admirable
man exiled?
It's hard to explain, but he's
an admirable man.
Excuse me, but what did
you want with me?
Don't do this.
This is a lot of food.
This is your precious food.
It's all right.
Sir Tsuchimochi is always
helping us.
He helps us with farming...
and asks the governor
to reduce our taxes.
He said he's following
your example.
Tsuchimochi?
I'm just copying you.
Go on. You must be hungry.
Everyone...
in that case, I'll eat half.
It's delicious.
Thank you.
When I return to Satsuma...
I can work my fullest.
By order of the clan...
Kichinosuke was strictly
forbidden to leave his pen.
Sensei!
It was Tsuchimochi's duty
to act as a surveillant.
You received a letter
from Satsuma.
Thank you.
Seppo!
Seppo?
Yes, indeed!
I'm Kawaguchi Seppo!
KAWAGUCHI SEPPO - Exile
Like you, I'm a criminal
who was exiled here.
But...
I'm bored after being here
for ten years.
Seppo, please return that!
That's an important letter
for Saigo-sensei!
Tsuchimochi!
Did you check the content?
No.
Saigo Kichinosuke...
you are to commit seppuku.
No!
What!?
That's not what it says.
Seppo, that's not funny.
Let's see...
Kaieda is...
complaining about things.
I'll read it to you.
Rakkyo Hisamitsu...
Rakkyo Hisamitsu suppressed
the country's rebels...
and brought peace to Kyoto.
His name is now widely known.
Ichizo's efforts played an
enormous role.
Okubo.
After the Terada-ya incident...
he admirably declined to
appear at the castle
but he was fast to turn around.
He's Hisamitsu's favorite now.
As the top personal attendant...
he's climbing up the ladder.
That's the kind of man he is.
Next is from Oyama.
He's complaining, too.
He wrote about Ichizo.
I'm going to read it.
It hasn't been long since
Arima died.
How can he play up
to the kokufu?
I lashed out at him.
Insolent!
Doesn't it bother you!?
I don't know what Ichizo
is thinking anymore.
Kichinosuke, without you here...
we are falling apart.
We're helpless.
Please come back quickly.
What's wrong with Oyama
and Shunsai?
How can they not know
what Ichizo is thinking?
Are you saying you can?
Ichizo is a friend.
If he's a friend...
why...
are you still in exile when he's
the personal attendant?
Why...
are you jailed on this
distant island?
Why is he ignoring it?
Human beings betray.
You can't see what a person
is thinking deep down.
I believe in my friends.
Oh, really?
Just think about it.
Not only were you exiled...
but you're confined to a
weather-beaten cell.
It's like telling you to die.
Furthermore...
the food you are eating daily...
Tsuchimochi, tell him the truth.
What about the food?
Tsuchimochi?
The instruction from the
governor's office is...
once daily...
give you a small portion
of cold barley...
and some salt.
Now, do you understand?
From the beginning,
the intent was to kill you.
The kokufu and your so-called
friend named Ichizo.
Tsuchimochi.
You bring food to him...
because you think he'll be
dying soon.
You may be ordered to
commit seppuku any day.
Hence...
while you're alive...
they want you to eat good food.
It's the islanders' compassion.
Unaware of that...
you believe in your friend.
After that incident with Seppo...
Kichinosuke followed the
clan's order...
and did not eat the food
Tsuchimochi brought.
Saigo-sensei!
Please eat today!
This isn't necessary.
Please take it away.
You'll die if you only eat
a little barley and salt daily.
Tsuchimochi.
Please eat this with the others.
Saigo-sensei!
How was he?
Any word from Satsuma?
No.
For many days after that...
Kichinosuke meditated
and did not move.
What a spectacle.
OSHIMA
Aikana.
Dear.
Kichinosuke believed in Ichizo...
and waited day after day.
Saigo-sensei?
Saigo-sensei!
Saigo-sensei!
Saigo-sensei... Saigo-sensei!
If you stay here, you'll die.
Come.
No.
If you defy the clan's order...
you'll be in trouble.
Thank you, though.
If I don't do something...
Saigo-sensei will die.
I believe in my friends.
Please protect my husband.
Please protect him from
misfortune.
Please... please protect him.
Please protect him from
misfortune.
Am I going to die?
That's fine, too.
I was supposed to have
been dead anyway.
I have no attachments.
Did you forget me?
Kichinosuke!
Shosuke!
Please let Saigo live.
I promise to return alive.
I'll call you back soon.
Ichizo, I'm sorry.
This might be it.
Dear!
Dear.
Aikana!
Dear.
Aikana...
Kikujiro...
Kikuso...
I have people to protect.
There are things that
only I can do.
Live.
It's not time yet.
It's not time yet.
Live!
Saigo!
You'd die, believing in
your friend!?
Sensei!
Saigo-sensei!
Saigo-sensei!
Sensei!
He's alive!
Let's take him to my house!
I won't let you die...
even if it means defying the clan.
I won't let you die!
Let's end here tonight.
Segodon, spirit!
Live!
End of Episode 24

I don't know what Ichizo
is thinking anymore.
Kichinosuke, without you here...
we are falling apart.
We're helpless.
Please come back quickly.
What's wrong with Oyama
and Shunsai?
How can they not know
what Ichizo is thinking?
Are you saying you can?
Ichizo is a friend.
If he's a friend...
why...
are you still in exile when he's
the personal attendant?
Why...
are you jailed on this
distant island?
Why is he ignoring it?
Human beings betray.
You can't see what a person
is thinking deep down.
I believe in my friends.
Oh, really?
Just think about it.
Not only were you exiled...
but you're confined to a
weather-beaten cell.
It's like telling you to die.
Furthermore...
the food you are eating daily...
Tsuchimochi, tell him the truth.
What about the food?
Tsuchimochi?
The instruction from the
governor's office is...
once daily...
give you a small portion
of cold barley...
and some salt.
Now, do you understand?
From the beginning,
the intent was to kill you.
The kokufu and your so-called
friend named Ichizo.
Tsuchimochi.
You bring food to him...
because you think he'll be
dying soon.
You may be ordered to
commit seppuku any day.
Hence...
while you're alive...
they want you to eat good food.
It's the islanders' compassion.
Unaware of that...
you believe in your friend.
After that incident with Seppo...
Kichinosuke followed the
clan's order...
and did not eat the food
Tsuchimochi brought.
Saigo-sensei!
Please eat today!
This isn't necessary.
Please take it away.
You'll die if you only eat
a little barley and salt daily.
Tsuchimochi.
Please eat this with the others.
Saigo-sensei!
How was he?
Any word from Satsuma?
No.
For many days after that...
Kichinosuke meditated
and did not move.
What a spectacle.
OSHIMA
Aikana.
Dear.
Kichinosuke believed in Ichizo...
and waited day after day.
Saigo-sensei?
Saigo-sensei!
Saigo-sensei!
Saigo-sensei... Saigo-sensei!
If you stay here, you'll die.
Come.
No.
If you defy the clan's order...
you'll be in trouble.
Thank you, though.
If I don't do something...
Saigo-sensei will die.
I believe in my friends.
Please protect my husband.
Please protect him from
misfortune.
Please... please protect him.
Please protect him from
misfortune.
Am I going to die?
That's fine, too.
I was supposed to have
been dead anyway.
I have no attachments.
Did you forget me?
Kichinosuke!
Shosuke!
Please let Saigo live.
I promise to return alive.
I'll call you back soon.
Ichizo, I'm sorry.
This might be it.
Dear!
Dear.
Aikana!
Dear.
Aikana...
Kikujiro...
Kikuso...
I have people to protect.
There are things that
only I can do.
Live.
It's not time yet.
It's not time yet.
Live!
Saigo!
You'd die, believing in
your friend!?
Sensei!
Saigo-sensei!
Saigo-sensei!
Sensei!
He's alive!
Let's take him to my house!
I won't let you die...
even if it means defying the clan.
I won't let you die!
Let's end here tonight.
Segodon, spirit!
Live!
