spreading rumours about us.

What a despicable man!

Don't listen to him.

I am your father.

You are my son.

This is slandering!

Do you have proof of what you're saying?

You're going to regret your words.

Ikebe, I want an answer.

If need be, I'm ready to duel you.

Some inconsiderate words can be lethal.

Lethal as a sword blow.

Words are dangerous.

I warned you.

Father, what's going on?

- I'm screwed.

- What are you talking about?

It's your fault.

You lost the tournament!

Father, what happened?

I've been summoned to the castle.

His Highness berated me.

He took Takakura's side!

I'm disgraced.

My career is over.

But I will take revenge!

- Gijuro, follow me!

- Where?

We're gonna give Takakura a lesson!

But...

But what?

The hell with Komoro clan!

Is your father here?

Yes.

- Young master!

- What?

Come quickly!

Yoshio!

Father!

Shingo...

Father, hang on!

I couldn't die before telling you

a secret of the utmost importance.

Father!

Listen to me.

You're not my real son.

Within lida clan,

there was the daughter

of Yamaguchi Danjiro.

Her name was Fujiko.

She's your mother.

In his Edo residence,

Lord lida had a concubine,

Wakayama.

He was deeply in love with her.

But his 1 st vassal, Yasutomi Kazue,

was afraid she might politically

influence the lord.

For the good of the clan,

Yasutomi ordered Fujiko,

your mother,

who was Wakayama's maid,

to murder her.

My act wasn't guided by madness!

It was decided to send Fujiko

back to her country

to judge and execute her.

But lord lida's wife looked for a way

to save Fujiko.

She asked vassal Yasutomi's advice.

Yasutomi suggested an idea she accepted.

At this time, the vassal Tada Soji,

dispatched by the Nagaoka clan,

was staying at his house

and was Yasutomi's last hope.

He told him his secret.

It was his only chance.

I'm expecting you

to attack Fujiko's palanquin.

You will kidnap Fujiko.

You will ger het pregnant.

Yasutomi hoped that

lord lida would eventually

come back on his decision.

And feel pity for Fujiko

if he learned she had given birth to a baby.

Everything happened as Yasutomi wanted.

Fujiko and Tada, who lived hidden,

finally got a child after a year.

They were happy.

Their happiness only lasted for a year.

But for your mother,

this year was enough

to give a

life worth of love.

Unfortunately,

it didn't cool lord lida's anger down.

Wakayama was a bad woman.

But lord lida loved her madly.

His hatred towards Fujiko

was as strong as...

his love for his concubine Wakayama.

Poor Fujiko

was sentenced to death.

But no vassal was willing

to execute their lord's verdict.

Tada Soji

finally volunteered.

Father!

Fujiko...
