1
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:50,500
His mind can see it now, that scene at Dannoura.

2
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:58,959
In the water the soldiers' ships flying the Heike flags of red!

3
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:07,825
On land the banners of white,

4
00:01:10,637 --> 00:01:21,381
the Genji troops! 

5
00:01:47,774 --> 00:01:55,149
"What a pompous sight!" 

6
00:01:55,582 --> 00:02:04,458
cries one hoisting his lance flashing in the evening sun.

7
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:11,425
"I am a samurai of the Heike!

8
00:02:11,732 --> 00:02:17,538
Akushichibyōe Kagekiyo!"

9
00:02:18,105 --> 00:02:22,524
he shouts to the other side, 

10
00:02:22,942 --> 00:02:28,933
as fiercely he strides forth, strides forth. 

11
00:02:37,526 --> 00:02:43,530
Fiercely he strides forth.

12
00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:52,989
Like blossoms scattered in a gale

13
00:02:54,274 --> 00:03:09,656
Like leaves, the Genji warriors.

14
00:03:12,125 --> 00:03:18,498
"Have you all lost your pride? 

15
00:03:19,066 --> 00:03:26,440
Here I am, Miyonoya no Shirō!"

16
00:03:26,907 --> 00:03:32,913
And to the water's edge he rushes out. 

17
00:03:39,316 --> 00:03:44,537
Sideways with their swords they slash, 

18
00:03:45,182 --> 00:03:50,198
And dance their lances about.

19
00:03:57,138 --> 00:04:03,610
But evenly matched amid the sounds of the waves.

20
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:16,322
Then clashing his long sword snaps at the hilt,

21
00:04:17,550 --> 00:04:27,334
And back he retreats like the tide, a returning goose

22
00:04:36,176 --> 00:04:41,582
will you turn your back on the flowers of the battle?

23
00:04:42,331 --> 00:04:46,836
and tucking his lance beneath his arm

24
00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:54,850
he grabs hold of Miyonoya's helmet strap.

25
00:04:57,064 --> 00:05:02,002
Back he pulls, reeling and staggering.

26
00:05:02,836 --> 00:05:08,059
Miyonoya heaves the other way, stumbling and staggering.

27
00:05:08,676 --> 00:05:13,121
Then with a snap the strap gives way,

28
00:05:14,236 --> 00:05:23,323
and both fall back seated with a thud.

29
00:05:45,726 --> 00:05:52,688
"What a strong arm!" cries the one.

30
00:05:54,638 --> 00:06:01,094
"On the contrary, what a strong neck!" says the other.

31
00:06:02,115 --> 00:06:04,398
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" 

32
00:06:05,065 --> 00:06:07,067
"Ho ho ho ho ho!" 

33
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:12,639
But after the laughter into the chaos of battle.

34
00:06:13,074 --> 00:06:18,110
My brother Tsuginobu stood

35
00:06:18,535 --> 00:06:27,220
and blocked my master's horse from rushing into battle.
