1:42:00
Reveal your
names!
1:42:16
Oh? You're all unfamiliar faces...
1:42:21
Which House are you from?
State your names!
1:42:29
Damn you!
1:42:39
As scheduled, at 5 a.m., the eighteen
comrades gathered...
1:42:44
...in front of Atago Shrine
at the top of Mt. Atago.
1:42:47
Then, they went to the Sakuradamon
Gates, and made themselves ready.
1:42:51
Sir Hoshino Kenmotsu, along with
one man, assumed the vanguard.
1:42:56
They stationed themselves
inside a nearby tea parlor.
1:42:58
Hagiwara Matasaburo and the six men
of the First Unit, on the right...
1:43:02
...took positions by a trench
near the checkpoint.
1:43:05
The Main Unit, on the left, waited in front
of Matsudaira Osuminokami's Mansion.
1:43:10
It consisted of Sir Sumida Keijiro,
the Sub-Leader, and six others.
1:43:13
To the rear of the Main Unit were three
men lead by Kadowaki Shozaemon.
1:43:18
They stationed themselves at
the side of Uesugi Mansion.
1:43:20
The snow, which started falling the night
before, showed no signs of abating.
1:43:24
Would the heavens bring us
fortune... or misfortune?
1:43:27
It usually doesn't snow this
much in the morning.
1:43:30
It's certainly rare during an occasion
like the "Peach Observance."
1:43:32
It sure is. By the way... have you
become an officer yet, or...?
1:43:36
No... Things don't seem
to go my way.
1:43:40
But, soon my dreams
will come true.
1:43:42
That's excellent, sir! I hope
it happens soon!
1:43:48
7:30?
1:43:49
7:30?
Yes, sir.
1:43:51
Yes, sir.
1:43:51
The entourage will come now?
Yes, sir.
1:43:52
The entourage will come now?
1:43:52
The entourage will come now?
Yes, sir.
1:43:53
As today is March 3rd, the procession
celebrates the "Peach Observance."
1:43:58
Uh-huh.
1:43:58
But, with all this snow... the Daimyo
must be having a hard time.
