Sekigahara Page #3

---

As far as I know, the Regent

had no rebellious intentions

You and Lady Yodo are both from Omi

Aren't you?

We were both born near Lake Biwa

There are rumors it was a plot by Mitsunari

Some say Yodo conceived the plan

and Hideyoshi bought it

Some even say worse

Such as?

That I am the father of Hideyori

When together, Hideyoshi and Lady Nene

would joke and argue loudly

like a couple from the lower class

They had a heavy country dialect

from Owari

Naturally, Lady Nene was feared

as the most powerful political force

of the Toyotomi house

On the eve of Sekigahara

if she had secretly ordered the lords

to kill leyasu

it may have altered Japanese history

But in fact, the opposite was true

Why?

Hideyoshi's chief concubine,

Lady Yodo whose parents...

were destroyed by Hideyoshi

was from Omi

As were Mitsunari and Gyobu

Get off your high horse, Omi

I'm a bumpkin from Owari

Damn me if I ever get friendly

with the oh-so-gifted Omi folk

Why did you save them?

They fought for justice

Was not the execution an injustice?

Why are you loyal to that tyrant?

The tyrant made me

- Shouldn't he go?

- I'd rather inherit...

the heart for justice he once had

Or else justice will be lost forever

When His Highness is dead...

there will be war to determine his successor

That is when the flag of justice

must be raised

In this age?

That is His Highness' ignominy

In crushing his enemies

or making peace with leyasu

he never cared for justice

He has reigned for 13 years

Order in the realm is built on self-interest

I will take up arms for justice

When all the world is self-interested

it is a worthy task...

to run alone against it

My life isn't even worth a poem

by Du Fu or Du Mu

But I'll take 15,000

20,000 for a worthy friend

Ride it and leave it

Leave Pa?

A riderless horse returns home on its own

The wisdom of an old horse

Mitsunari's mansion, Fushimi

- Am I to be your plaything?

- No

Why did you spare me?

Your courage struck me

Did the others survive?

Your friend was badly wounded

I left her with the doctor

She will live

Unless she kills herself out of despair

My sister nor I will commit suicide

I can arrange your return

- For what?

- Have you no family there?

I only have my sister

Just don't think about revenge

The world is unjust. Revenge is laughable

You are from?

Iga

An lga ninja

My father was born in lga

and served Lord Takeda

All the houses we served perished

After he died we had to survive

as street performers and pilgrims

You and your sister?

And my mother

She died at the riverbank

The three of you served Koma

- Taken in as dogs

- Dogs?

That's what my mother said

We can spy, agitate, watch, ensnare
