Sekigahara Page #9

Why are you not attacking?

Kuroda will flee before us if you move

Victory is in reach

The West will lose

Behold the battlefield

Our only troops on the field are from

Otani, Ukita, Konishi and lshida

None of the large reinforcements

are making a move

And, yet, we are still

standing our ground

Our chance was in a night raid

Did you forget we opposed

fighting here?

We are in the midst of battle

Our Shimazu troops are only 1,000

We'll make no difference in the outcome

A great general is one who moves

the many troops who refuse to move

Does the Lord Monk

share your opinion?

Indeed

So, we just gotta each do our best

in this battle today

You should take that to heart, too

Good luck

My lord. You must help Lord Tokugawa

MY lord!

Kuroda, where is Lord Kobayakawa?

You shall address me as Lord Kuroda

That is not an answer

Kobayakawa is none of my business

It's pointless coming to me

at this hour

I have no talent in negotiating

My gift is in fighting

I'll tell His Highness so

I'll think about it

after I dismantle Mitsunari

Any movement from Mt. Matsuo?

No, my lord

My lord, send me there

Where is Sakon?

Defending below the cliff

See him before you go

Presently! Make haste!

Get a horse for Nobukatsu!

Follow me

Hammer them!

Spread out

Strike!

Forward!

Spear unit, advance!

Father

I am headed to Mt. Matsuo

There's so much

I should have done for you

No, sir, I could not have asked

for anything more

Cross in front of the Shimazus

and head to the back of Mt. Matsuo

Slow down for nothing

Shield unit forward

Fire

Fire

Spear unit forward

What did Kuroda say?

He has no skills in negotiation,

only in fighting

True indeed

Acha, have you seen this instrument?

Is that what they call a telescope?

A shipwrecked Dutch captain had it

Everything looks twice as big

Take a look

Don't drop it

Oh, my!

My lord

Don't hesitate! Stab the both of us!

Do it!

Stand your ground

I will kill any who retreats

Onward to leyasu's headquarters

Move ahead of the Otani troops

Fire

My lord, do not let

any more die unnecessarily

3 hours later

Mitsunari's camp, Mt. Sasao

Hold

Retreat, retreat!

Clear the way!

Attack

Kobayaka wa 's headquarters

My lord! You must decide

I must see Lord Kobayakawa himself

Where is Lord Kobayakawa?

Hold! Hold I say!

Out of my way!

If you will not attack Otani, we will

My lord, please stop

You shall not! I will not let you

My lord, I beg you, stop

I am Shima Nobukatsu

servant of Lord Ishida Mitsunari

I beg you, heed my lord's plea

Please, please

Mitsunari

- I will help Mitsunari

- My lord!

Nobukatsu

I will help Mitsunari

- My lord!

- Put up your sword

We will attack leyasu

Kill leyasu

Gore, what have you done?

Gore'.!

My lord, now you may freely

attack the West

Attack the West!

No, no, that's not what I want

Attack Otani!

Lady Nene is preserving

Mitsunari's blood

I shall preserve Mitsunari

I shall attack leyasu

Fire

Kobayakawa's troops

annihilated Otani's men

MY Lord!

Kobayakawa's men are coming

My time is up

Gosuke! Do not let the enemy

take my head

Sukeza

Take care of Sakon's wife, Hanano

Survive with her

My lord

I will die on this battlefield

Forgive me

This is a medical tent

Are you wounded? Shall I treat you?

Hanano

Escape now with your son, I pray you

Live!

The kid did it

Shout out the battle cry

But that's for the start of battle

Now is indeed that time!

All troops attack!

1 p.m.

5 hours from the start of battle

Are you harmed, my lord?

I told your wife and son to flee

I thank you

And Gyobu?

His troops and Ukita's are destroyed

Why?

Why what?

Why the battle cry?

The only thing left for us is

to consider how we will go in defeat

Pointless to die now

Nobody can read a person's intentions

or the outcome of a battle

It is best you flee

What will you do?

I will blow up justice...

as a testament to my life

A mountain behind Shimazu's camp

This is it

Did they surrender?

Where is Mitsunari?

Their camp is surrounded

We sent word to urge surrender, but-

Trample them

Press them all the way

(My brothers in arms!)

Tomokatsu, go help him

Yes, mother

Are you Hanano?

Are you of Lord Mitsunari's house?

I once served him

Where's Lord Mitsunari?

He probably...

Let us flee together

Before the East hunts us down

We'll blast open the enemy camp in two

and run right through them

3 p.m.

The cowards on Mt. Nangu

escaped long ago

She must be from the village

I pity her

Mitsunari escaped to his former territory

An old farmer friend helped him

The farmer risked his life to hide Mitsunari

And Within a few days

Mitsunari was healthy again

When pursuers drew near,

the farmer urged Mitsunari to flee

Mitsunari was immovable

To flee would mean the death of the farmer

That is no way

to repay the man's justice

Go alert the authorities

You will save my name to do so

Mitsunari waited for his fate

All the while, he never considered

killing himself on his own blade

Otsu Castle

I cannot decide what to do with him

For now

Place a mat in front of the gate

Have him sit there awhile

Who have we here? Lord Mitsunari?

You started an ill-advised war

against Lord Tokugawa

who is the greatest

samurai lord of Japan

Look at you now

A halfwit like you will never understand

the heart of someone like me

Be gone. You ruin the view

Fate determines who wins or loses

Still, your shame must be unbearable

You are kind

Give us some time alone

I failed to requite your good faith

I became entangled by leyasu

over many years

I succumbed to injustice

Forgive me

Last night, leyasu's men asked me

why I refuse to kill myself

I told them my heart is only known

to him who started all of this

To tell you the truth

I want to stay alive a little longer...

to see that those I care for

are still living

You are one of them

So...

Wipe away your tears and insult me

It will please Ieyasu

All of this was reported to Ieyasu

He finally nodded and said

I'II meet him. Treat him with respect

No words were exchanged

Dai Ichi Dai Man Dai Kichi

This is my justice

October 1, 1600

Ishida Mitsunari dies. He was 41
