A brave warrior and a gallant warrior.
War and death are the orders of a warrior.
This is the story of Takauji Ashikaga, a hero who survived such a turbulent time.
That's all for now.
Running away, hiding, surviving, and playing tag with the world!
It seems to be a hot topic right now!
This is what they call a buzzer in the future!
This time, I will stop for a moment and take a look back at Master Tokiuki's journey.
I, Suwayori Shinge, who has the power of God, will be your guide.
Yes, this is the beginning of the Kamikai!
The year is 1333, in Kamakura.
It's time for bow training!
You can't run away anymore, Lord Tokiyuki!
What's that light?
You idiot!
You're under surveillance!
This is the main character of this story.
He is Houjou Tokiyuki-sama, the rightful successor of the Kamakura Shogunate.
It's dangerous, Tokiyuki-sama!
Please get down!
You'll get hurt!
Someone, help me!
I'm sorry.
Let me through.
You're as good as ever at hiding, young man.
And the great hero of the shogunate, Ashikaga Takauji.
From now on, I will go to Kyoto.
I will bring an end to the war between the five great emperors.
I would like the future shogun to see my loyalty to the Hojo family.
I-I look forward to it.
For the prosperity of Kamakura and the Bu family, I pray for the success of the Kijin.
I can't find him at all!
If he's really trying to hide, we won't be able to catch him!
Master Tokiyuki!
I like this Kamakura.
I like to see the smiles of the people who live in peace.
I don't need land or honor.
As long as I can live in this city, that's all I need.
Tidiness.
Cowardice.
That's all I need.
I'm just a decoration.
I don't need your power or anything.
It's not about being tidy or cowardly.
It's a fragment of a monster that sleeps within you.
That's what my father says.
You are?
My father?
It's just as I heard!
What is it?
It's my pleasure to meet you.
My name is Tsuwayorishige, the Shinkan of Shinano.
The Shinkan of Shinano?
When did you climb up here?
I've been here since the beginning.
I knew that you would be the one to climb up here.
What is it?
You're making a big deal out of this.
Oh, how rude of me.
I was born here, so I have to do my best.
The first impression was pretty bad, but there was something I really wanted to tell you.
When you are ten years old, you will become a hero who will shake the heavens.
You will become the master of a great war.
Some will fear you, some will respect you.
You will even be able to change the future of the country.
That's all I know.
Because this is a very strong... Huh?
Oh my, it's a bean sprout!
King, why are you talking about that all of a sudden?
No, no, no.
It's just that I'm not very good at listening to people.
But... I understand what you're saying.
You're not as good at running away as my father and I are.
If we can come to an agreement, you'll be able to become a hero.
That's what I think.
The Kamakura Shogunate was a movie.
But it collapsed in an instant.
From now on, we will enter Kyoto and destroy the Muhon Army.
Please grant us the blessings of the Hachimandai Bodhisattva!
Let's go!
Commander!
I hereby announce that Ashikaga has conspired with Emperor Godaigo to destroy today's Bakufu Army!
I hereby announce that the Kamakura Army will be destroyed as well!
Why you... Traitor!
I can hear a voice.
Whose voice is it?
Who is it?
Who is it that will raise me to the heavens?
Only 24 days after Takauji's death.
Father... Kamakura Shogunate has been annihilated.
We have been waiting for you, Master Tokiuki.
At the end of the story, my father ordered me to let you go.
He said that he would not let my son die young.
From now on, I will take you to my homeland, Sina.
To hell... All of Kamakura will be destroyed by the traitors.
Takauchi... Sir... Who are you?
I am Takauchi Ashikaga, the head of the Shimotsu family.
You can't run away from Takauchi, young master!
It took me five years to destroy the army in Yoritomo, Minamoto.
However, was there a man who destroyed the whole country in just 24 days?
The other day, you said that you would become a hero, but... A powerful man like Ashikaga Takauji is called a hero by his personality.
Let me die, too.
Like everyone else, like a samurai.
Is that so?
Then die!
I am the son of Hojo!
At the very bottom of despair, at the very edge of death... Hey!
The hero inside you shines!
Hey, what are you going to do when you die?
You said you'd be ashamed if you didn't die, but you managed to survive without hesitation.
That's the hero in you.
You're good at running away, but you're also good at hiding.
You're nothing more than a herald of a hero.
Ueda, kill him!
For Takauji, who killed his master and took the country, it must be quite troublesome.
Next, the heir of the Kamakura Shogunate, who must be killed by someone, has the ability to live longer than anyone else.
Takahashi will become a hero by killing, and you will become a hero by living.
You two are the heroes of the fate of the Taikyoku.
I will give you everything you need to win.
If you continue to live like this,
One day, Takauji will come to kill you.
Until then, you must run away, hide, use your power, and defeat the demon that comes after you!
Now, the game of tag to take back the land has begun!
Routo.
He has a close relationship with the most powerful warrior, and fights with his life on the line.
He is known as Routo.
However, Tokiyuki-sama has lost all of his family and family tree.
He has to rebuild Routo from scratch.
Allow me to introduce him once again!
Kojiro is the most powerful swordsman of the same generation.
Soon, he will become a warrior who leads the army.
Chief!
Ayako is strong and has a lot of talent.
She's a good hostess.
Young master!
Shizuku is a good caretaker and uses a lot of magic.
She's a good housekeeper.
All three of them are the same age as you, but I can recommend them with confidence.
Born in the land of Suwa, Hojo-kei-rō-tō, Choja-tō.
The origin of the name is... You're good at running away, young master!
Let's all become strong in this land!
Meanwhile...
Takauji-sama, I thank you for choosing me as the guardian of Shinano.
You were the one who saw Hojo first, and became my old friend and fought with me.
It's a natural gift.
But your Shinano still has Hojo's old friend, Suwa-shi.
Hojo's remnants must be hiding somewhere.
You can find them, can't you?
There are four males and one female.
Leave it to me, Lord Takauji.
My bow and my sight are the best in the world.
I'll find any insect and kill it to show you.
When he was getting used to the life of Suwabe,
Jump in!
Shinano's guardian, Okasawara Sadamaru, is jumping in!
I am the president of Shinano, and the one who chases after the dog of the Suwa company.
I thought I should liven things up as the guardian of Shinano.
If none of you can defeat my bow, I swear that in this Suwa dormitory, we will search for the princess, and investigate all suspicious things.
That bastard!
He's asking for it!
Sadamune has two goals.
To capture the remnants of Hojo, and to use them to weaken the Tsuwa force.
Then I have two goals as well.
One is to never reveal the identity of Master Tokiyuki, and the other is to steal Sadamune's bow technique.
I won't let you get away with this.
I'm a hidden demon who escapes from that eye and that bow!
It's a sin, kid.
I'm bleeding.
It hurts.
I can't win.
I'm scared.
If it was a real arrow, I'd be dead.
Why are you running away?
Are you afraid?
Are you struggling?
It's fun!
Give it up!
You won't be able to do anything like that!
It's impossible!
Waka!
Waka-sama!
Did you think you could win with just a single shot?
Do it while you're running!
While I'm running?
A shot?
It's clear.
I'm a girl who runs away well!
I can do anything while running away!
Tokiyuki-sama's latent ability, which blooms when she runs away!
She was able to defeat Sadamune!
Choujumaru of the Suwa Company is the temporary form of Tokiuki-sama.
If you don't work regularly, you'll be suspicious when the enemy comes.
Not the enemy, but Sodamune.
He's been humiliated so much.
He can't look like that after what happened yesterday.
He's coming with a smile.
He's strong.
Sorry to keep you waiting, Suwanoshu.
The imperial envoy has arrived.
and confiscate a part of the Suwa territory.
If you go against the rules, you'll become an enemy, and the surrounding forces will attack Suwa at once.
And so... There's a man who wants to invade Choja Island.
Huh?
His name is Nusubito, also known as Kazama Genba.
Nusubito?
He uses all kinds of tricks, sneaks in anywhere, and steals anything.
He used him to steal the Linzi of the Mikado from Sadamune's mansion.
I don't want to put my life on the line for an irresponsible lover.
If you're coming with me, I'll take you on.
The two managed to find Rinji and escape.
But as they fled, Tokiyuki-sama, who was covering for them, was caught in the act.
Furthermore...
Lightning?!
It's here.
That's Sadamune's bow.
No way.
The sound of the bow is one step ahead.
How many enemies did you bury in the darkness with this hand?
Well, Mr. Sadamune, let's start with a warm-up.
Yes, Mr. Ichikawa.
Adjust my aim with that hearing.
If it's an invisible prey, I can ignore it, but if it's a visible prey...
You'll have to pay me back.
You two old men are having fun together.
It's a pain.
I'll deal with you all at once.
That's... I don't know where the sound is coming from!
I don't care if it's a killing match.
I won't lose to a tough warrior in a stupid match!
I-It's gone!
M-Master Sodom, could it be that Renji is still in there?
We're all trapped in the fox-faced kid's spell!
And so, a new old man joined the Choujya Clan.
The land of Suwa was also protected, but...
I can't see the future... Lord Oga is making a strange move again!
Yes.
He says that he can see what's going on at the northern border.
It's a secret to everyone.
I can't imagine a time when I can't see the future at all.
This is bad.
I don't want any trouble to happen at a time like this.
Um, should we go to Chouja Island to investigate that?
Huh?
I was so worried, so worried, so worried about such a dangerous role in the future that I was totally against it!
But in the end, I couldn't stop Master Tokiuki.
We made it just in time for sunset.
At first glance, it looks peaceful.
It was an unexpected turn of events.
This is... It's surrounded!
Two swordsmen.
The weak are the middle-aged and middle-aged.
When will the people around us join in?
Please forgive my rudeness.
My name is Fubuki.
I've been wandering the world in search of a master who can be of use to me.
So this village is the biggest crisis for Suwa?
I've never heard of that before.
Fubuki's plan to protect the village and gain control of the army led to a one-on-one battle between Lord Tokiuki and the enemy general.
What's your name?
I've changed my name a lot, but now I call myself Shokan.
It's quite special, isn't it?
The wine I drink with the money I sold you...
The secret technique is a special sword that only Master Tokiyuki can use.
Your weapon is kindness.
You're better at running away than fighting.
You're better at retreating than pushing.
You're better at receiving than attacking.
That's what makes you so good at running away.
The left hand you're holding is your aim.
Please wait for the moment when the enemy's sword and hand cross each other.
Turn your upper body to the left.
Lower your katana to the weight of your body.
Pull it to the right and run away!
Uchikote, huh?
It takes a while for the blood in your wrist to lose consciousness.
Don't tell me... You're going to live without being killed by me until then.
This room is so cramped!
You just need to slowly unify yourself and then slowly die.
What was that?
It's not just a katana, it's a blood-sucking dagger?!
Is this guy a monster?!
You're amazing, young master!
We couldn't even cut it with our own hands!
It's all thanks to Master Fubuki's technique.
You're right.
I never thought we'd be able to defeat it just by hitting it and running away.
That's amazing!
It's Riga!
That fire!
It's the reinforcements of the Suwazansha!
We made it in time!
Lord Yorishige...
How could you do this to me?
Yes.
It hurts a little, Mr. Urushige.
Now that we have more reliable bandits, this is as far as I can take you.
The future is still in the mist.
However,
I felt a faint sense of anticipation for the next battle that was close at hand.
