In the early 16th Century, Japan
was in the throes of civil wars...

and the farmers everywhere
were being crushed...

of cruel bandits.

:04:03
We looted rice here last fall
:04:07
I'm afraid they have nothing yet
:04:12
Let's come back after
the barley has ripened

War!
:04:58
Drought!
:04:59
Then, the bandits!
