Maybe that is all.

The color is like blood,

but this is European sake.

What's the matter?

Do you not like it?

Well, then.

I need to go put down

that religious uprising in Ise.

I have much to do.

Raise the curtain!

On your feet!

I arrived too late to help you.

This gold expresses my regrets.

I will leave Takeda to you.

Farewell.

Nobody can deny that

you took Takatenjin Castle.

Even your father failed to take it.

You're wrong!

It is true I took the castle.

But the credit does not go to me.

It goes to the phantom

of my late father

that frightened the enemy away.

Try as I might,

I cannot escape my father's shadow.

The chief retainers are to blame.

They use the lord's double

to make you look small.

Where's the mountain?

In the garden, with Takemaru.

This will not do.

I told you

one of you must always be with him.

I am sorry.

He's now accustomed

to living in this house.

He has become sure of himself

since Takatenjin.

He's doing well.

It's as if our late lord

had possessed him.

And he's charmed Takemaru, too.

The child loves him.

It makes me sad to see it.

That is so.

It's a cruel thing to do.

Someday Takemaru

will learn the truth.

It will not be long.

The three years

the lord wished us to hide his death

are already more than half gone.

When the day comes,

Takemaru will not be

the only one to be pitied.

What will happen to the double?

A shadow cannot exist

without the person.

When it's finally known

that the person is gone,

what will happen to the shadow?

Where is your grandfather?

He's amazing!

Only he can ride that horse.

Lord Shingen!

Lord Nobukado, he has no scar!

The wound he got at Kawanakajima.

So he is an impersonator after all.

Grandfather!

This man is not your grandfather.

He's an impersonator.

Grandfather!

How foolish.

He could deceive men,

but not the horse!

No.

I am to blame.

Not at all.

It's a miracle

the secret has lasted this long.

We owe it all to you.

Lord Katsuyori has arrived.

The play is over.

Lord Katsuyori is our master now.

From Nobukado.

He appreciates all you've done.

And this is with the compliments

of the other generals.

Take it.

Well, then...

Keep well.

Go away! Get out of here!

I want to see Takemaru

and say good-bye.

Takemaru?

What impudence!

How dare you!

Go!

APRIL 1575

Quiet!

What's that?

They conducted Shingen's funeral?

That's just like Shingen.

For three years after his death,

he successfully deceived me.

Even the 50 years of a man's life

Are short compared

to that of this world

Life is but a dream

A vision

An illusion

Life, once given

Cannot last forever

Life, once given

Cannot last forever

Katsuyori has left his domain

with 25,000 soldiers,

heading for Nagashino.

What? The mountain has moved!

My lord,

what do you think that light is

that's barring your path?

A rainbow.

You're wrong!

It is your late father's instructions

not to proceed.

He's telling you to stay

in your domain and guard it.

Those were your father's last words.

If you do that, nothing can harm us.

Harm? An ominous word.

Since the time of our ancestors,

the Takeda have never

run from a fight.

Forward!

MAY 21, 1575

FIRE FOREST WIND

Wind and Fire...

this will be the end of our clan.

Farewell.

I will go first.

Wind and Forest...

we will meet again

where Lord Shingen is.

Attention!

Takeda will be no more.

Once the mountain has moved,

it is finished.

Messenger!

Tell the gunners

to shoot the horses first.

The Takeda cavalry

cannot fight without horses.
