ITSUKUSHIMA - MITSUNARI AND YOSHITSUGU YOSHITSUGU: It's not yet rained, not with these stars that I see before me. I hope and pray for a glorious death to descend from the heavens and take me from this world. O divine stardust, bestow glory on me, and grant me deliverance. MITSUNARI: Yoshitsugu. YOSHITSUGU: Ahh, Mitsunari. MITSUNARI: Motonari is ready for battle. Let's go. YOSHITSUGU: [Thinking to himself:] It is truly astonishing how little this man has. Even I have not seen one single thing that he could call his own. "I need no money, no honor, no men" he boasts. He even lacks interest in eating. Quite amusing. Such a simple task to kill this man. Silence and stealth is all that's required. But I cannot let him die, not yet. Not until this realm is infested with misery. MITSUNARI: Enough of this. It is time.
STAGE SELECT - KARASU CASTLE YOSHITSUGU: Assuring Hideaki’s obedience will not be a problem. One sharp blow is all that’s needed. MITSUNARI: ... YOSHITSUGU: What now, Mitsunari? MITSUNARI: Yoshitsugu... I feel... every fiber of my being tells me that Hideaki is worth nothing to us while he still lives. YOSHITSUGU: You have a tendency to kill any man who offends you. This is bad form, Mitsunari. Please understand that you have nothing to fear. Not if you leave everything to me. MITSUNARI: I give you as much faith as I have, Yoshitsugu. I’ve survived many horrors by trusting my instincts. But I’ll bend to you on this. Hideaki will live.
ISHIGAKIBARU MINES - MITSUNARI, YOSHITSUGU, AND KANBE YOSHITSUGU: Now then... Shall I take Kanbe along with me? KANBE: [Grunts and rises to his feet. He heaves the iron ball at Yoshitsugu.] MITSUNARI: [Jumps in front of Yoshitsugu and blocks the iron ball with his sword. He yells and rushes at Kanbe.] YOSHITSUGU: Hold. MITSUNARI: [He immediately stops short of killing Kanbe, his blade resting still at Kanbe's throat. He sheathes the blade, and smacks Kanbe to the ground with the sword's hilt.] YOSHITSUGU: [Inner narration:] Mitsunari struck down Hideyoshi's subjects one after another, for they had begun to slander me behind my back. I knew they were. I could feel their snide remarks pierce from far away. This vicious man before me, he might be more of an imbecile than I had first thought. [Pauses.] "Relentless," a word many use to describe Mitsunari. But I suspect this is not true. He possesses a weakness he conceals with expert precision. Yes, deep down I believe Mitsunari is a very fragile man. MITSUNARI: What's wrong? YOSHITSUGU: Nothing. I was gazing into the heavens, hoping to be showered with sparkling stardust. MITSUNARI: Stardust, you say? I do not see any stars. Go rest. You are overly exhausted.
SEKIGAHARA - MITSUNARI AND YOSHITSUGU MITSUNARI: No matter what, I shall never forgive you... YOSHITSUGU: Mitsunari, listen to me. Ieyasu's words are his bonds. But those bonds, they can be easily broken with one cut. Broken as easily as you lost Lord Hideyoshi. MITSUNARI: ...Lord Hideyoshi... Ieyasu... I will go to you and I will make you know my suffering. You'll feel my pain as I shred you to pieces! YOSHITSUGU: For certain. Do unto him as he has done unto you. Deprive the villain of his bonds. For every bond you cut, new miseries will rain down upon the earth. Never forget: this is for justice, and for you. Heh heh. [Long pause.] ...Haven't I earned your trust by now? MITSUNARI: Don't make me repeat myself. You already know the answer. [Walks off.] YOSHITSUGU: [Internal monologue.] What glorious miseries will you bring forth, Mitsunari? Or will you bring nothing?
SEKIGAHARA - ENDING CUTSCENE YOSHITSUGU: [Internal monologue:] After everything that's happened, it was you who brought forth all these miseries. My deeds had little effect...or none at all. You have already died once before. You have endured enough strikes and blows to last an entire lifetime. There is nothing left in the world that can hurt you, Mitsunari. Even so, for you to bring forth such dazzling miseries, I cannot imagine... [He envisions Mitsunari smiling at him.] I wonder, how deeply does it hurt you? [The long dream sequences fades. The real Mitsunari turns to him.] MITSUNARI: What's wrong? What? YOSHITSUGU: Nothing. You are truly an amazing fellow, Mitsunari. [The camera pans to the sky.]
SEKIGAHARA, ENDING CUTSCENE YOSHITSUGU: It's here... it's here! Massive misfortune... is scattering all over! After all, the one that called for misfortune was you... Yes... it was not me... not me... You, man once dead... nothing can wound you anymore. Because your wounds are so numerous that no more could be added... Yet, to be able to call for such brilliant misfortune... Your wounds... just how much are they...?
