"What did you say?" "!" "I said nonsense." "Hold your tongue!" "You're a mere ninja!" "My dream is different." "The gold isn't going to the Shogun of the Dark." "What?" "!" "We, the Devils of Kimon, will take the gold." "You impudent...!" "I'll use it to organize the most powerful army of ninja ever." "And we'll rule the country with terror and power from the shadows." "Anyone who opposes me, Tokugawa or Toyotomi even the Shogun of the Dark himself, shall die." "Meaning the true Shogun of the Dark... will be me." "[ Laughing ]" "Well, now, you're here!" "I was just wishing you'd come." "I'm glad to hear that." "Of course." "Without your help, sinking a big ship like this would be impossible!" "Ruin your plans?" "Not at all." "[ Screaming ]" "[ Explosion ]" "What's wrong?" "Fire in the hold!" "We're gonna sink!" "Idiot!" "Put out the fire!" "lmpossible!" "It's a sea of flame!" "Put it out!" "Fight it!" "Move it!" "Move it!" "Forget it!" "Run!" "Kibagami Jubei... I should've finished you with my own hands." "Stop your whining." "It's too late." "You want to avenge the ninja girl Kagero?" "She's nothing compared to what I'm going to lose with this ship." "Prepare to lose your life as well." "[ Jubei Straining ]" " [ Bone Snapping ] - [ Sword Clattering To Floor ]" "I won't kill you yet." "Not before I make you suffer." "I'll make you pay for smashing my dream." "Your dream?" "That you were going to be the true Shogun of the Dark?" "Don't make me laugh." "If you became shogun, you'd make this a world of devils." "If you enjoy their company so much then go back to hell!" "I'll kill you...!" "No one can kill me." "You of all people should know by now... I am immortal." "is that so?" "If you keep coming back to life then I'll kill you as many times as it takes!" "[ Groaning ]" "I can't die!" "GEMMA!" "BURN in YOUR GOLDEN HELL!" "Jubei!" "You seem to be rid of the poison, thanks to Kagero." "The combination of a poison-tasting ninja girl and a talented lone wolf worked out even better than I had planned." "Go away." "By the way, I'm sorry about losing Kagero." "A real pity, that!" "But for a scant few moments, she was able to be an ordinary girl and make love with you." "Was that part of your plan, too?" "Exactly." "To read and control people's hearts is the true secret of the ninja." "Still, only true sincerity can move the human heart." "A twisted old bastard like me couldn't do it." "You're a hell of a guy." "I really admire you." "As promised, I'll be waiting in Edo with your 100 gold pieces." "Come and get it, if you're still alive." "That makes us even." "Now never cross my path again." "You've beaten me. I thought I'd shut your mouth in Edo, but... still, in your condition you likely won't even make it to the shore." "Everything will end just as I planned." "[ Dakuan Laughing ]" "Come with me, let's go out to see the stars" "Evening has only just begun I don't want anything Only for you" "To be at my side A smile on your face" "A distant summer The two of us alone" "Sitting on the beach we used to walk" "Trying to retrieve the gentleness" "That we left behind" "A distant ballad sung to no one at all I can still hear it even now" "It embraces my wandering heart" "Just like the cool night wind" "Looking at you Only you" "Saying things hard for us to say" "Times may have changed But I know" "My feelings are still the same for you" "A distant ballad sung to no one at all I can still hear it even now" "It embraces my wandering heart" "Just like the cool night wind"
