第 5 集: 平氏於1180年於宇治橋擊敗源氏並焚毀小谷寺

Munemori, Shigemori's half brother, takes control of the Heike, supported by his younger brothers Tomomori and Shigehira, while Kiyomori withdraws to Fukuhara. Meanwhile, Tokuko's son, the heir of her husband Norihito, is now healthy and growing. When Kiyomori learns that the emperor has taken the initiative and seized the Koremori's province of Echizen and the Fujiwara lands inherited by Moriko, he orders Munemori to gather troops to march on the capital. Initially successful, Kiyomori instils his grandson, Tokuko's child, as the new emperor. However, the Taira family begin to inflict belittling insults on the vanquished clans, sowing the seed of insurrection. Go-Shirakawa's son, Prince Mochihito, leads the Taira forces to the bridge over the Uji River (1180) and defeat the opposition forces supported by the Genji. Victorious, they set fire to the Onoji Temple. (Source: Wikipedia)
