Ep. 6: O clã Taira se muda para Fukuhara enquanto Kiyomori mobiliza suas forças contra o crescente exército de Yorimoto.

The Taira clan moves to their new capital at Fukuhara where they hope for some stability. Atsomori, the youngest son of Tsunemori arrives and befriends Kiyotsune over their love of the flute. Kiyomori learns that Lord Yorimoto is taking up arms against the Heike, at the prompting of a decree from Go-Shirakawa. Enraged, Kiyomori appoints Koremori as commander to lead a force against Yorimoto and assembles 70,000 horsemen. While they are camped in the field, Koremori learns that Yorimoto has received support from the Genji and now has 200,000 horsemen at his command. That evening, they see the thousands of torches of the anti-Heike forces surrounding them. During the night, a flock of waterbirds suddenly take flight, causing the Heike to suspect that their enemy is making a surprise attack, and they flee for their lives. Kiyomori is furious at the turn of events and threatens to execute their strategist Tadakiyo and exile Koremori, but he is eventually convinced to temper his anger. Later, Koremori confesses to Biwa that he was afraid, and that his carefree days of dancing and music are over. (Source: Wikipedia)
