English: Before the Battle of Dannoura, he also spent one month to dominate the maritime control by gaining over the support of local naval forces and to prepare military equipment.
Japanese: 壇ノ浦の戦いの前にも、水軍を味方に引き入れて瀬戸内海の制海権を奪い、軍備を整えるのに1箇月を要している。
English: Then at the initial state of the battle, the Taira family side had used all the arrows and its unprotected oarsmen and steerspersons were shot to death one by one without being able to take any measures to counterattack.
Japanese: そのため序盤で矢を射尽くし、後は射かけられるままとなって無防備な水手・梶取から犠牲になっていったのである。
English: To the criticism that says Yoshitsune won the battle by employing mean tactics, there are those who oppose to this criticism advocating that in the first place there were no established battle rules at that time (strictly speaking, "Konjaku Monogatari" (The Tale of Times Now Past) and other documents confirm that some rules including the place of battle for one-on-one fight and collective battle was established in several cases, such as when warriors (samurai) had a private reason or a problem concerning their territories or honor and both parties whished to solve the problems by themselves by way of a duel.
Japanese: そもそも当時の合戦にルールは存在せず（厳密に言うならば、武士が私的な理由、所領問題や名誉に関わる問題で、自力・当事者間で解決しようとして合戦に及ぶ場合には一騎打ちや合戦を行う場所の指定などがあったことが『今昔物語集』などで確認できる）、義経の勝因を当時としては卑怯な戦法にある、と非難することに対する反論もある。
English: Yoshitsune brought about military as well as political results by carrying out two contradictory duties; undertaking his military duty of expelling the Taira family as a local commander of Yoritomo, and constructing a good relationship with the Imperial court.
Japanese: 義経は頼朝の代官として、平家追討という軍務を遂行しつつ、朝廷との良好な関係を構築するという相反する任務をこなし、軍事・政治の両面で成果を上げた。
English: The story that he accepted the title from the court without permission is a creation of "Azuma Kagami," and the criticism that he lacked the 'political sense' is not adequate.
Japanese: また、無断任官問題は『吾妻鏡』の創作であり、「政治センスの欠如」という評価は当らないのである。
English: About the conflict between Yoritomo and Yoshitsune, Shinichi SATO argues that the conflict was caused by the existence of two opposing powers inside the Kamakura Administration; one was the 'eastern nation independentist' formed by powerful lower-ranking vassals (gokenin) in the Kanto region, and the other was the 'Kyoto sympathizers' formed by close vassals of Yoritomo and the officials who were relegated from Kyoto.
Japanese: 佐藤進一は頼朝と義経の対立について、鎌倉政権内部には関東の有力御家人を中心とする「東国独立派」と、頼朝側近と京下り官僚ら「親京都派」が並立していたことが原因であると主張している。
English: Yoshitsune, Yoritomo's smaller brother, was especially highly valued as close associates, being appointed as the general in chief of the backdoor troop to expel the Tiara family and entrusted as the local commander in Kyoto as well.
Japanese: 義経は頼朝の弟であり、平家追討の搦手大将と在京代官に任じられるなど、側近の中でも最も重用された。
English: After settling in Kyoto, he was engaged to eradicate the violence of warriors in order to construct a good relationship with the court, playing an important role in the Yoritomo's pro-Kyoto policy.
Japanese: 上洛後は朝廷との良好な関係を構築するため、武士狼藉停止に従事しており、頼朝の親京都政策の中心人物であった。
English: Later, Yoshitsune defeated the Taira family in about two months by gaining over the support of local naval forces in the western territory, while Noriyori's army formed by the influential lower-ranking vassals (gokenin) in the Kanto region had not been able to defeat the Taira family after a half year.
Japanese: その後、関東の有力御家人で編成された範頼軍が半年かかっても平家を倒せない中、義経は西国の水軍を味方に引き入れることで約2箇月で平家を滅ぼした。
English: As a consequence, the influence of the Kyoto sympathizers was enhanced in the political decision-making as well as in the repartition of a grant of honors
Japanese: この結果、政策決定の場でも論功行賞の配分でも親京都派の発言力が強まった。
English: However, the east independents felt indignant and accused Yoshitsune, who was the radical leader of the pro-Kyoto policy.
Japanese: しかし、東国独立派は反発し、親京都政策の急先鋒であった義経を糾弾した。
English: Yoritomo granted the territories confiscated from Yoshitsune to his potential lower-ranking vassals (gokenin), in order to keep them, because they were the support base of his administration.
Japanese: 頼朝は支持基盤である有力御家人を繋ぎ止めるため、義経に与えた所領を没収して御家人たちに分け与えた。
English: Yoshitsune, who was forced to lose his position even though he had won the victory in various battles, tried to mobilize the warriors in western Japan to confront the Kamakura Administration.
Japanese: 合戦を勝利に導いたにもかかわらず失脚させられた義経は、西国武士を結集して鎌倉政権に対抗しようとしたのである。
English: Masataka UWAYOKOTE poses a question on the credibility of "Azuma Kagami" elaborated by the Kamakura bakufu, and he opposed to the common theory, that is, Yoshitsune's acceptance of the title without his brother's permission was a result of an evil design of Goshirakawa, and with this strategy he tried to divide Yoshitsune from Yoritomo and Yoshitsune was trapped by it.
Japanese: 上横手雅敬は鎌倉幕府編纂である『吾妻鏡』に疑問を呈し、義経の無断任官問題が老獪な後白河が義経を利用して頼朝との離反を計り、義経がそれに乗せられた結果であるとする通説を批判している。
English: The real reason why Yoritomo did not dispatch Yoshitsune to expel the Taira family is because the court nobles requested him strongly to make Yoshitsune stay in Kyoto to secure the order in Kyoto, and not because he sanctioned Yoshitsune for the acceptance of the title without asking for his permission.
Japanese: 頼朝が義経を平家追討に派遣しなかったのは、無断任官に対する制裁などではなく、京都の治安維持に義経が必要であり公家側の強い要望があったからである。
English: However, as a result, he was incorporated into the Goshirakawa's close retainers, and it became impossible to render services for the Kamakura bakufu, and that resulted in raising Yoritomo's anger.
Japanese: しかしその結果、義経は後白河の側近に編成された事になり、幕府への奉仕が不可能になったため、それが頼朝の怒りを招いたのである。
English: Moreover, after the Battle of Dannoura, Yoritomo let Yoshitsune return to Kyoto instead of detaining him in Kamakura, because he wanted to stir up Goshirakawa by making use of Yoshitsune, who had converted to a close retainer of the Cloistered Emperor after the complementary appointment as In no Miumaya no Tsukasa (retainer responsible for the stability of the Cloistered Emperor's government).
Japanese: さらに壇ノ浦合戦後、義経を鎌倉で拘束せず京都へ帰したのは、院御厩司に補され院の側近となった義経を利用して後白河を挑発するためであった。
English: Yoritomo deliberately induced Goshirakawa to issue the pursuit of Yoritomo himself, and he succeeded in thrusting various political requests.
Japanese: 頼朝は後白河を頼朝追討の宣旨を出さざるを得ないように追い込んだ結果、多くの政治的要求を突きつける事に成功したのである。
English: Although the personality of Yoshitsune in the legends is shaded with romanticism, Yoshitsune described in "Heike Monogatari," which is considered to be close to the real figure, is a cheerful and broad-minded brave warrior and had no shadow.
Japanese: また伝説の義経像には陰影があり感傷的であるが、実像に近いと思われる『平家物語』の義経像は明るく闊達な勇者であり、何の陰りもない。
English: However, "Azuma Kagami" elaborated by the Kamakura bakufu is extremely sympathetic with Yoshitsune, and even if he must have been a traitor, the book contains many descriptions touching on his sentiments, showing a strong sympathy 'Hogan-biiki' for the underdog.
Japanese: ところが幕府編纂の『吾妻鏡』は、反逆者であるはずの義経に対して非常に同情的であり、義経の心情に立ち入っている記述が多く見られ、「判官贔屓」の度合いが強い。
English: On the other hand, Yoritomo is described as a person who did not hide his cruelty towards his younger brothers, and in the scene of Shizuka Gozen's dance, in contrast to the dignified two women, Shizuka and Masako, his is maliciously depicted as a narrow-minded and bigoted person.
Japanese: 頼朝については弟達への冷酷さを隠そうとはせず、静御前の舞の場面では、凛然たる静と政子に対し、狭量で頑迷な頼朝という描写は悪意的なものがある。
English: It seems that "Azuma Kagami" fomented the sympathy for Yoshitsune (Hogan-biiki) with the intention to justify the position of the Hojo clan that deprived the Minamoto clan of the power.
Japanese: 『吾妻鏡』は「判官贔屓」の構図を作り、源氏から政権を奪った北条氏の立場を正当化していると見られる。
English: Yasuo MOTOKI presents a new profile of Yoshitsune, by examining "Azuma Kagami," whose text has been considered rather credible, based on the approach of the critique of historical materials, which has been advanced remarkably in the resent years, and by comparing the detailed descriptions of the "Azuma Kagami" with those of "Gyokuyo" and other materials written at the same period.
Japanese: 元木泰雄は従来、概ねその記述を信用できると考えられていた『吾妻鏡』について近年著しくすすんだ史料批判と、『玉葉』など同時代の史料を丹念に付き合わせる作業によって、新しい義経像を提示している。
English: The warriors of eastern Japan, who neither had their own territories nor their own troops, but were very individualistic, supported Yoritomo in order to protect their vested interests.
Japanese: 挙兵当時の頼朝は自らの所領や子飼いの武士団もなく、独立心の強い東国武士達が自らの権益を守るために担いだ存在であった。
English: Therefore, even if with only a few soldiers, the appearance of Yoshitsune must have been a great pleasure for Yoritomo, as he expected that Yoshitsune could be his right hand,.
Japanese: それだけに、わずかな郎党を伴ったに過ぎないとはいえ、自らの右腕ともなり得る弟義経の到来は大きな喜びであった。
English: Since then, Yoshitsune was called 'the son of Kamakura,' which means that he entered under the custody of Yoritomo as his adopted son, and as "Gyokuyo" describes, they were 'in a relation of father and son,' and therefore, Yoshitsune was thought to have a possibility to be the heir to Yoritomo (Yoritomo's legitimate son Yoriie had not been born at that time yet), and at the same time, he was meant to be placed in a subordinate position to Yoritomo.
Japanese: 以後、義経は「御曹司」と呼ばれるが、これは『玉葉』に両者は「父子之義」とあるように頼朝の養子としてその保護下に入ったことを意味し、場合によってはその後継者ともなり得る存在になった（当時、頼朝の嫡子頼家はまだ産まれていなかった）とともに、「父」頼朝に従属する立場に置かれたと考えられる。
English: Yoshitsune was charged to expel Yoshinaka, because the warriors in eastern Japan were reluctant to make a sortie which would not give them any benefit of expanding their territory.
Japanese: 義仲追討の出陣が義経に廻ってきたのは、東国武士たちが所領の拡大と関係のない出撃に消極的だったためである。
English: Yoshitsune and Noriyori, both started with a few soldiers and in order to confront with Yoshinaka, they intended to recruit and organize the local warriors on their way to Kyoto.
Japanese: 義経・範頼はいずれも少人数の軍勢を率いて鎌倉を出立し、途中で現地の武士を組織化することで義仲との対決を図った。
English: To facilitate their entrance into Kyoto, the warriors in the Kyoto district played an important role in combat with Yoshinaka in the Battle of Hoju-ji Temple.
Japanese: 特に入京にあたっては、法住寺合戦で義仲と敵対した京武者たちの役割が大きかった。
English: The Battle of Ichinotani was not fought in a unified form under the leadership of Noriyori and Yoshitsune, but with a so called patch-work army composed of various independent local Genji families and Kyoto warriors.
Japanese: 一ノ谷の戦いも、範頼・義経に一元的に統率された形で行われた訳ではなく、独立した各地源氏一門や京武者たちとの混成軍という色彩が強かった。
English: Noriyori, who set forth on expedition to expel the Taira clan with the eastern warriors, suffered from the undermined morale of soldiers, due to the prolonged battle, which he tactically chose, and the stagnated the advance.
Japanese: 代わりに平氏追討のために東国武士たちと遠征した範頼は、長期戦を選択したことと合わせ進撃が停滞し、士気の低下も目立つようになった。
English: Worried about it, Yoritomo appointed Yoshitsune for the duty, judging that the short decisive battle could be inevitable, and Yoshitsune responded it with success by organizing the warriors in western Japan and destroyed the Taira clan in the battles of Yashima and Dannoura.
Japanese: これに危機感を抱いた頼朝は、短期決戦もやむなしと判断し義経を起用、義経は見事にこれに応え、西国武士を組織し、屋島・壇ノ浦の合戦で平氏を滅亡に追い込んだ。
English: For the warriors of eastern Japan, the success of the operation meant to be deprived of the chance to win fame in the battles, and their indignation toward Yoshitsune, which was growing further, embarrassed Yoritomo as an unexpected result.
Japanese: これは従軍してきた東国武士たちにとって、戦功を立てる機会を奪われたことを意味し、義経に対する憤懣を拡大する副産物を産み、頼朝を困惑させた。
English: In the process of the post-battle operation, Yoritomo tried to bring this situation under control, by making Yoshitsune return to Kamakura and put his brother under his own control, instead of granting the maximum honor of recommending Yoshitsune for the governor of Iyo Province.
Japanese: 頼朝は戦後処理の過程で、義経に伊予守推挙という最高の栄誉を与える代わりに、鎌倉に召喚し自らの統制下に置く、という形で事態を収拾しようと考えた。
English: Yoshitsune continued staying in Kyoto, as he was appointed by the Cloistered Emperor to additionally fill the vacant position of In no Miumaya no Tsukasa (retainer responsible for the stability of the cloistered emperor's government), or in other words, as the chief of the Cloistered Emperor's bodyguard, in addition to occupying the posts of police and judicial chief (Kebiishi) and officer of Outer Palace Guards (Saemon no jo), as well as the post of governor of Iyo Province.
Japanese: 義経は、平氏滅亡後直後に法皇から院の親衛隊長とも言うべき院御厩司に補任され、検非違使・左兵衛尉を伊予守と兼務し続け、引き続き京に留まった。
English: Although Yoshitsune had acquired the Inzen (Cloistered Emperor's decree) to expel Yoritomo, there were few warriors who responded to his call, and his influence was rapidly lost.
Japanese: 義経は頼朝追討の院宣を得たにも関わらず、呼応する武士団はほとんど現れず、急速に没落した。
English: By then, Yoritomo had already taken drastic measures with the warriors in various places, such as rewarding them with bonuses in appreciation for their deed, and the warriors in Kyoto, who had been cooperating with Yoshitsune until then since his first entrance in Kyoto, did not collaborate with him this time as Yoshitsune was not able to reward them.
Japanese: 既に頼朝は各地の武士に対する恩賞を与えるなど果断な処置を講じており、入京以後の義経に協力してきた京武者たちも、恩賞を与える事が出来ない義経には与しなかった。
English: Yoshitsune's decline, after having endeavored in the reconstruction of the capital and enjoyed the name of 'royal retainer,' left a strong impression on the public in Kyoto, and a legendary figure was gradually going to take shape.
Japanese: 都の復興に尽力し「義士」と称えられた義経がこうした形で劇的に没落したことが京の人々に強い印象を与え、伝説化の一歩となった。
English: After Yoshitsune left Kyoto, the person who entered in Kyoto as the local commander and he intervened in the affaires of the Imperial court instead of Yoshitsune was not any of his brothers, but Yoritomo's father in law, Tokimasa HOJO.
Japanese: 退去した義経らに代わって頼朝の代官として入京し、朝廷に介入を行ったのは、かつての弟たちではなく、頼朝の岳父である北条時政であった。
English: Tokimasa was the maternal grandfather of still young Yoriie, and he was supposed to have had a strong resentment against Yoshitsune, because of some reasons such as his legitimate son Yoshitoki was robbed of his merit by Yoshitsune in battle.
Japanese: 未だ幼年である頼家の外祖父であり、嫡男義時が戦功を義経に奪われるなど、時政は義経に強い敵意を抱いていたと考えられる。
English: Yoshitsune's decline in power enabled Tokimasa to consolidate the position as a maternal relative of the successor to Yoritomo, and also allowed the expansion of Tokimasa's power.
Japanese: その没落によって、時政は頼朝後継者の外戚としての地位を決定付け、勢力拡大の端緒を切り開くことができたのである。
English: As the first son of MINAMOTO no Yoshitomo, he protected Kamakura, and killed his uncle MINAMOTO no Yoshikata; this proved him as a brave busho and gave rise to his nickname Akugenta.
Japanese: 源義朝の長男で鎌倉を守り、叔父の源義賢を討って悪源太と呼ばれた剛の武者。
English: When his father was killed, he returned to Kyoto for assassination attempt on TAIRA no Kiyomori; After the failure, he was arrested and decapitated.
Japanese: 父が殺されたため、京へ戻って平清盛の暗殺を図るが失敗し、捕えられて斬首された。
English: The biography of MINAMOTO no Yoshihira was well described in the war chronicle "Heiji Monogatari" (The tale of the Heiji); there is no other literature that tells a lot about Yoshihira.
Japanese: 義平の生涯については軍記物語の『平治物語』に依るところが多く、義平については他に史料は乏しい。
English: Yoshihira is the main character of "Heiji Monogatari," in analogy to MINAMOTO no Tametomo in "Hogen Monogatari" (The Tale of the Hogen War).
Japanese: 『平治物語』における義平は『保元物語』における源為朝と同様の主人公的な存在。
English: Being the older brother of Yoritomo, who later became seii taishogun (literally, "great general who subdues the barbarians"), he was described as a cool young warrior.
Japanese: 後に征夷大将軍となった頼朝の兄とあって、非常に颯爽とした若武者として描かれている。
English: In 1155, his father Yoshitomo and uncle MINAMOTO no Yoshikata (father of MINAMOTO no Yoshinaka) became rivals.
Japanese: 久寿2年（1155年）、父の義朝と叔父の源義賢（源義仲の父）が対立。
English: Yoshihira suddenly attacked Yoshikata's Okura-yakata residence in Hiki-gun, Musashi Province (Ranzan-machi, Hiki-gun, Saitama Prefecture), and killed him; Yoshihira became widely known as a busho (the battle of Okura).
Japanese: 義平は義賢の居館武蔵国比企郡の大蔵館（埼玉県比企郡嵐山町）を急襲し、これを討ちとって武名を轟かせた（大蔵合戦）。
English: The word 'aku' means 'strong' and 'brave,' implying that 'Yoshihira was the brave first son of the Minamoto family in Kamakura;' the image of a strong general transcending generations.
Japanese: 「悪」という言葉には「強い」「猛々しい」という意味があり、つまり「鎌倉の剛勇な源家長男の義平」という意味であり、猛将のイメージで後世に伝えられている。
English: On January 26, 1160 (December 9, 1159 in old lunar calendar), his father Yoshitomo succeeded in carrying out a coup d'etat in collaboration with FUJIWARA no Nobuyori, the favorite retainer of the Retired Emperor Goshirakawa, and occupied Kyo (Kyoto) after killing FUJIWARA no Shinzei, who had taken control of the Imperial Court at that time.
Japanese: 平治元年（1159年）12月9日、父義朝は後白河上皇の寵臣藤原信頼と結んでクーデターを起こし、当時の朝廷の実力者藤原信西を殺害して京を占拠。
English: At the order of Yoshitomo, Yoshihira, who was in Kamakura, gathered bando musha and rushed to Kyo.
Japanese: 鎌倉にあった義平は義朝の求めによって呼び出され、坂東武者を引き連れて京へ馳せ上った。
English: Only 17 soldiers accompanied Yoshihira; most musha in the east Japan were only interested in the stability of their own territories and declined to be drafted.
Japanese: しかし、自領の安堵が最大の関心事であった東国武士たちは義平の召集に応えず、義平にしたがったのはわずか17騎のみであった。
English: Yoshihira arrived in the middle of Jimoku (ceremony for appointing officials) that Nobuyori was celebrating for his own indulgence; Nobuyori said 'You arrived in perfect timing.
Japanese: 義平が到着したとき、信頼がお手盛りの除目を催していた最中で「ちょうど良かったのう。
English: Yoshihira replied 'That is not important. We should immediately depart for Abeno (Abeno Ward, Osaka City) to kill Kiyomori who is on his way back.
Japanese: 義平は「そんなことよりも、すぐに阿倍野（大阪市阿倍野区）へ出陣して、帰ってくる清盛を討ち取りましょう。
English: We can capture and kill Kiyomori in Kyo later;' he refused Yoshihira's suggestion.
Japanese: 清盛はゆっくり都で取り込めて討ち取ればよろしい」と拒否してしまった。
English: (The exact same conversation took place between MINAMOTO no Tametomo and FUJIWARA no Yorinaga in "Hogen Monogatari.")
Japanese: （全く似たやり取りが『保元物語』で源為朝と藤原頼長との間で交わされている）
English: Some say that Kiyomori was not immediately killed because, actually, Nobuyori was seeking reconciliation with the Heike.
Japanese: 実際には信頼は平家との和睦を画策していたため清盛を早期に討たなかったという見方もある。
English: As a result of recent studies on Heiji War, it has become a prevailing view that Kiyomori was in a neutral position from any party including the Cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa, Emperor Nijo, Shinzei and FUJIWARA no Nobuyori because Kiyomori had a matrimonial relation with Shinzei and was united through marital relations with the son of Nobuyori.
Japanese: また、近年の平治の乱に対する研究では、清盛は信西と姻戚であると同時に信頼の息子とも婚姻関係を結んでおり、後白河法皇や二条天皇をとりまく勢力や信西、藤原信頼などどの勢力から見ても中立な立場であるという見方が強まりつつある。
English: Therefore, some believe that Kiyomori, who was holding a neutral position, was not targeted by Nobuyori and others.
Japanese: 中立の立場にある清盛は信頼らの攻撃の対象ではなかったという見方もある。
English: When Kiyomori returned to his home ground of Rokuhara house in Kyoto, Emperor Nijo's aide approached Kiyomori and the two secretly formed an alliance.
Japanese: 帰京した清盛は本拠の六波羅邸に入ると、二条天皇側近は清盛に接近し、両者はひそかに提携する。
English: They succeeded in freeing the Emperor and the Retired Emperor from dairi (Imperial Palace) in the evening of the 25th; the Emperor and Retired Emperor were welcomed to their own camp.
Japanese: 25日夜に太上天皇と天皇を内裏から脱出させ自陣営に迎えることに成功する。
English: The Taira's army departed Rokuhara around 8 o'clock in the morning of the 27th; the snow remained from the previous day.
Japanese: 前日の雪の残る27日辰の刻（午前8時頃）、平家軍が六波羅を出撃した。
English: Yoshitomo blamed Nobuyori's oversight to be deprived of the Retired Emperor and Emperor; he decided to wait and attack the enemy at dairi.
Japanese: 上皇と天皇を奪われた信頼の迂闊さを呪いつつも義朝はまずは内裏で敵を迎え撃つこととした。
English: Yoshihira, aged 19, was wearing armor of eight kinds, armed with a sword named 'Ishikiri,' and rode on a roan horse to await the enemy.
Japanese: この時、義平は19歳、八龍の鎧を着、石切の太刀を帯び、葦毛の馬に乗り敵を待ち構えた。
English: Yoshihira shouted with 'Certainly,' and immediately rushed with 17 bando musha including Masakiyo KAMATA, Sanemoto GOTO, Hideyoshi SASAKI, Yoshizumi MIURA, Toshimichi SUDO, Sanemori SAITO, Inomata Party, Naozane KUMAGAI, Nobukage HATANO, Sueshige HIRAYAMA, Ietada KANEKO, Tomoto ADACHI, Hirotsune KAZUSA, Tokikazu SEKI and Kageshige KATAGIRI.
Japanese: 「承知」と叫ぶや義平は鎌田政清、後藤実基、佐々木秀義、三浦義澄、首藤俊通、斎藤実盛、猪俣党、猪俣党、熊谷直実、波多野延景、平山季重、金子家忠、足立遠元、上総広常、関時員、片切景重の坂東武者17騎を率いて駈け出した。
English: Yoshihira and the 17 bando musha jumped into the center of Shigemori's 500 soldiers, and scattered them away after a fierce battle.
Japanese: 義平と坂東武者17騎は重盛の500騎にど真ん中に飛び込んでさんざんに戦い、これを蹴散らしてしまった。
English: Chasing the enemy commander, Shigemori, Yoshihira ran seven to eight times between a tachibana tree at the right side and cherry tree at the left side of the main palace of the Heian Imperial Court.
Japanese: 義平は敵の大将の重盛に組みかかろうと内裏の左近の桜、右近の橘の間を7、8度も追い回した。
English: Shigemori pulled back with his chaotic troops, added 500 new soldiers, and returned to the inside of the gate.
Japanese: 重盛は混乱した兵を収拾して一旦退き、新手の500騎を得て再び門内に押し出した。
English: With a new wave of attack, Yoshihira bravely fought back, and challenged Shigemori, saying 'We are both heirs and good enough to fight each other. Let's fight.'
Japanese: 新手を受けた義平は勇みに勇んで突撃し、重盛に向い「嫡男同士なんの不足があろうか、さあ組もう」と挑みかかる。
English: Yoshitomo and TAIRA no Yorimori (younger brother of Kiyomori) had a fierce battle at the Ikuho-mon Gate; Yorimori could not break through the gate and pulled back his troops.
Japanese: 郁芳門では義朝と平頼盛（清盛の弟）が激戦し、頼盛は突破できず兵を退いた。
English: Other troops of TAIRA no Norimori (a younger brother of Kiyomori) approached the dairi, and was drawn inside through the gate opened by a mole; the dairi was occupied by Taira's army.
Japanese: 平教盛（清盛の弟）の別動隊が内裏に迫るや内応者が門を開けて引き入れ、内裏は平家方に占拠されてしまった。
English: 300 soldiers of MINAMOTO no Yorimasa (a different lineage of Settsu-Genji from Yoshitomo) were being deployed near the Rokujo-gawara river bed; they were not fighting with anyone.
Japanese: 六条河原あたりで源頼政（義朝とは別系統の摂津源氏）の300騎が戦うこともなく布陣していた。
English: Noticing the deployed troops, Yoshihira assumed 'they were going to take sides with the Heike if we lose.
Japanese: これを見た義平は「さては我らが負ければ平家に味方しようとしているのだな。
English: In fact, Yorimasa was just sitting on the fence; it never occurred to him that he would take sides with the Heike; however, as a result, Yoshihira drove Yorimasa to the Heike side.
Japanese: 頼政は形勢はうかがっていたが必ずしも平家に付こうとも考えていなかったのに、結果的に平家方に追いやることになってしまった。
English: The author of "Heiji Monogatari," who was in favor of Yoshihira, reflected his act as a whim of youth by citing a historical event in which Xiang YU of Chu unnecessarily attacked Wang Ling, who had been neutral, and made him take sides with Gaozu (Liu Bang) of Former Han.
Japanese: 義平に好意的な『平治物語』の作者も「若気の至りであろう」と評し、楚の項羽がいたずらに中立者だった王陵を攻撃して前漢の高祖（劉邦）に付かせてしまった故事を引いている。
English: Shouting 'This is Kamakura aku genta Yoshihira,' Yoshihira struck the enemy; the Heike resisted to protect their master; it turned into a royal battle.
Japanese: すると「悪源太義平見参」といっきょに突きかかり、平家も主人を討たせてなるかと源氏を押し包み乱戦となる。
English: In contrast to the Minamoto clan, which had been fighting since early morning, the Heike had a pool of new soldiers to add to the battle field; the battered Minamoto clan was finally put to fight.
Japanese: しかし、源氏は朝から戦い通しなのに対して、平家は次から次へと新手を繰り出しており、疲弊しきった源氏は遂に敗走した。
English: Bando musha were scattered as they could not escape as a large group; eight soldiers (Yoshitomo, his children Yoshihira, Tomonaga and Yoritomo, and his family members MINAMOTO no Shigenari and Yoshinobu HIRAGA, as well as his servants Masakiyo KAMATA and Konomaru) left for Kanto.
Japanese: 大勢では逃げ切れまいと付き従っていた坂東武者たちを解散して、義朝と子の義平、朝長、頼朝、それに一族の源重成、平賀義宣、家人の鎌田政清、金王丸の8騎となり、関東を目指した。
English: To rebuild his army, Yoshitomo ordered Yoshihira to go to Tosan-do Road and Tomonaga to Shinano Province and Kai Province to gather soldiers.
Japanese: ここで義朝は再挙のために義平は東山道へ、朝長は信濃国・甲斐国へ下って兵を募るよう命じた。
English: Leaving their inn, Tomonaga nervously asked 'which way is Kai and Shinano Provinces?' Yoshihira fled away like the wind as soon as he responded 'go that way!' pointing at a cloud far away.
Japanese: 兄弟は宿を出ると朝長は心細げに「甲斐信濃はどちらへ行けばよいのでしょう」と問うと、義平ははるか雲の方を見て「あっちへ行け」と言うや、飛ぶがごとく駆け去ってしまった。
English: Injured Tomonaga could not go any further and had to return to Aobaka; he wanted to be killed rather than be captured.
Japanese: 負傷していた朝長は進むことができず青墓へ引き返し、捕らえられるよりは死を望んだ。
English: Yoshitomo sojourned into the residence of Tadamune OSADA in Owari Province; Tadamune was the father-in-law of Masakiyo KAMATA; on February 18, 1160, Yoshitomo was murdered with Masakiyo by the betrayer Tadamune.
