"...surprises both his enemies and allies the great army of the Heike, away from the bridge the water is high..." "Brother, there's another hungry ronin." "Here, take it." "How dare you!" "Hey, that's dangerous." "Step back." "I make it a rule not to receive money from samurai." "What nerve!" "You with stable salaries won't understand what it's like to be a ronin." "What if we don't?" "You want to fight?" "Get him!" "There." "Hey, you don't look like you've got it anyway." "Come on, you bastards." "There's a fig ht!" "Akaushi, hold it." "Hold it." "You're surely aware that a Hatamoto like you will come... under investigation by the Ministry of Religion... if you get into a fight on the shrine's ground?" "Who on earth are you?" "We're the security of this area... untouchable by Ministry of Religion or the Ward Office." "I'm Horo Gonbei." "I see, you're the 80,000 hatamoto and we're the 80,000 ronin, so to speak." "Hey, you want to fight?" "Cut it out." "HEY: hey, stop it." "Oh, hello, my lord." "Oh, Omi-ya." "Well, please put back your swords." "Please." "Please." "Lord, you're dealing with a wrong bunch." "Hey, Hugo..." "This is exactly the situation I hired you to prevent." "That's true." "Now, let's be on our way." "Horo, how are we going to split it?" "The starter gets it first." "Akaushi Yago'emon, there's 3 ryo." "How about 1 for you for starting the fire?" "Settled." "With this I shall drink tonight." "So, what shall we do with the remaining 2?" "Let's drink it." " Fine with me." "I've delivered the kimono you ordered." "I don't know anything about that." "She's pretty." "Just a ronin's sister." "She's too pretty for that." "There you go again." "We should ask him for a loan in exchange... for our rice allocation next year." "I'll take care of that." "We need money to keep up our appearances as hatamoto." "Help us." "The owner isn't here." "O'Bun, aren't you going to work for the teahouse?" "Aren't you?" "No." "Welcome!" "What was that?" "It's a welcome." "Hey, boss!" "Bring some Sake." "Boss!" "Check." "I shall pay you now." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Oh, excuse me, sir." "Your wallet is empty." "Is that right?" "Is that right..." "but you can't..." "Excuse me but we need you to pay." "I'm not running away." "Sure, I know." "Boss, I have nothing." "Please don't do this." "Not even a nose bleed." "I'm broke, I can't pay." "Therefore..." "Hey, leave it to me." "You won't?" "What do you want me to do, Boss?" "Well, please." "Alright." "Well, this is a pretty hefty knife." "We'll take this as payment." "No way." "Hey, can't you be flexible?" "I'll go home and discuss it with the woman I live with." "Sorry." "Bye ." "Wait a minute." "Are you going to make me lose face?" "Not much of a face anyway." "Come on outside." "You want to fight?" "Yes, indeed." "Boss, I'll get it for you." "Boss." "Is he paying?" "Shut up." "I just don't want you to run because I'm strong." "Don't be ridiculous." "Come on!" "A fight!" "A fight!" "Let's go." " Sure." "Step back." "You don't want to get hurt." "Listen, the 18 block radius around this bar is my territory." "Remember my name, Akaushi Yago'emon, on the way to hell." "Alright." "Excuse me for my late introduction." "I'm Aramaki Gen'nai." "Never heard of you." "Where are you from?" "From Women's Island." "BY what?" "By a large trade ship." "The ropes are made of women's hair... women's combs and pins fly on the masts... floating on the sea of tears of the women I've left." "What a jerk." "Here I come!" "Alright, 'Ushi!" "Come at me!" "Hold it!" "It's dangerous." "It's dangerous..." "We're the cops, we're the cops." "Hold it." "It's dangerous." "It's dangerous..." "What shall we do?" "I guess we probably have time for another cup." "Right, then." "Let's." "Hold it!" "What?" " Hold it!" "Akaushi, this is your second fight today." "I don't care." "I'm just warming up." "Move!" "Come on, kill me!" "Akaushi, I'll liven it up for you." "Alright." "There..." "He's making fun of me." "You'll get hurt, Horo." "Want to continue?" "How about you?" "Let's drop it." "Okay." "Pull back." " You pull back." "Pull back." " You pull back." "Don't cheat." "You don't cheat." "Pull!" "Listen, I've got 1 ryo." "Do you want me to treat you?" "If you insist." "Want a drink?" "Please pay my bill." "What?" "I'll see you." "Excuse me." "Sorry, thanks." "Akaushi, he got you." "Damn it!" "What?" "Who is it?" "Sir Aramaki Gen'nai Taira Tadayoshi is home." "I'm coming." "Open up!" "Rig ht away." "Dear." "Dear?" "Dear, I'm glad you're home." "I was giving up hope" "I'm so happy" "Here's water." "How can one pin down the wandering heart of a man?" "There is one way." "H ow?" "With money." "How cruel." "So cruel." "My dear, did you... did you... find someone new?" "You've guessed rig ht." "Why did you come back?" "I spent all the money." "So, if I give you money... you won't come home for another two weeks or three, right?" "Stop complaining." "A man like me can't spend all my time looking after a woman." "What a thing to say." "Once... you were good and looked after me." "Though only a brief moment when we first moved in." "I can't take this." "I can't." "I can't." "I don't want to lose you to anyone else." "Being hired back..." "Is it possible?" "Will my brother be serving his lord again?" "It can't be." "The world is full of ronin today." "I know because I'm one of them." "No, there's no change." "I didn't have to read your palm to tell you that." "Tell your brother that it's an impossible dream." "Thank you." "Oh, aren't you the girl from the other day?" "What did you get your reading for?" "Is it a man?" "What about this man here?" "Come on." "Be good." "Come on." "Let go of me." "Sir Obata desires your company." "Hey, she's in trouble." "No, we don't want to mess with him." "It's all right now." "I was too rough." "Forgive me." "Do you want to take her back to our mansion?" "Not today." "Move!" "Move!" "HEY, Koyoshi." "What happened to you?" "Are you hurt?" "No." "Funny girl." "Hey, officers..." "What's wrong with you?" "Can't you even help a girl?" "Well, y'know..." "Nothing stands in the way of Sir Gen'nai." "But we're too powerless." "Rig ht." "Yet I'm powerless against money and women." "We understand." "That's true." "Even Lord Obata is under the thumb... when it comes to women and the money lender Omi-ya." "You too can't do without O'Shin." "Shut up." "Hey." " What?" "His wife is..." "A Pickpocket?" "Let's go." "Doi's sister." "What's the matter?" "Bun?" "Yes." "It took you long." "Yes." "I'm sorry." "Are you crying?" "No." "What's the matter?" "Well..." "You look pale." "Your hair's out of place." "Your sleeve's torn." "Bun, who..." "What man did this to you?" "Tell me." "Tell me!" "Nowhere else to go, I sleep under a tree..." "Brother, please forgive me." "The evil hatamoto men teased me." "What happened?" "Yes." "I'm a samurai's daughter." "I know how to protect myself." "Don't be silly." "I'm a woman after all, and if I fail to protect myself..." "I'll kill myself." "But not until the day your wish for returning to your lord is granted." "Don't cry." "I'm happy to know that you believe in me." "I wish I could say that, but it's no use." "What do you mean?" "It's my fault." "I led you to believe I'd somehow be able to return to Sashu Tsuyama." "What did you say?" "Do you care to know?" " Yes." "Do you want to hear it?" " Yes." "The Young Lord told mle to return at once... when he successfully reinstates the clan's status." "He gave me his knife... as a token of his promise for that day." "Bun..." "I couldn't wait any longer... and I sold it for our food." "What?" "Brother, who did you sell it to?" "When did this happen?" "Don't ask." " No." "I will find it." "I'll do everything I can." "Fool!" "Bun..." "You're truly a samurai's daughter and know what shame is." "You cry when you're insulted." "You say you're ready to die if you can't protect yourself." "What good is a samurai with nothing to live for?" "What a fool." "If you decide to work for the teahouse..." "Brother!" "Or for the bathhouse, I can't blame you or laugh at you." "Bun, let's survive." "All right?" "Let's survive as long as we can." "All right?" "What's the matter?" "Weren't you going to go home?" "I could stay if you want me to." "Say you want to stay." "I'm going home." "Why don't you?" "You're so twisted." "Officers!" "Officers!" "My money got stolen." "What?" "You have money." "Well, I know I had 20 ryo in here." "Now there's only 10." "It's that woman." "That woman?" "The pickpocket?" "Quick, isn't she?" "Taking exactly half the money from a wallet." "That's quite a technique." "No time to be impressed." "Let's get her." " Hold it." "We don't have any proof." "Plus, she's got, y'know, Gen'nai..." "You mean..." "Sir, it's best to let it go." "Right?" "Rig ht." "Excuse us." "You're a cheater." "What?" "You're mean." "You're cold." "You're all talk and no heart." "A man like this..." "A man like this." "What made you fall for him?" "If only he didn't spend money so freely, right?" "Where are you going?" "Where are you going to?" "Give me spending money." "I won't." "You won't?" " That's right, I won't." "I see." "You won't?" "You won't?" "It hurts." "Dear, promise me you'll be home tonight, will you?" "Oh, sir..." "There's a cute girl named O'Bun who just started working at the teahouse." "Would you like to see her?" "A cute girl?" "There she is." "Omi-ya, are you after that girl yourself?" "No, I don't go for the inexperienced." "I prefer my women ripe and juicy." "Here, come over here." "Hey, Akaushi." "Welcome." "I was waiting for you." "Hey, Akaushi." "Akaushi?" "Ushi!" "Big fat Ushi." "Shut up!" " Have you got the money?" "I know." "What do you want?" "Don't you see, out of charitable causes..." "I came by here to save the poor." "You've got some?" "What do you mean if I've got some?" "Here, take a look." "You sure do." "Hey, wait." "You killed, didn't you?" "Only the hopeless would kill or steal." "Is the money clean?" "You've got little balls for a big guy." "What?" "A real man never gives in to starvation or steals someone else's water." "What if it were Sake?" "I would." "Don't act like you're starved." "What?" "I had no work for three whole days." "Boss, bring it on." "We're getting loaded tonight." "How did you make the money?" "Don't know." " How did you make it?" "I don't have to." "My woman does." "She works hard as if her life depends on it." "You let your woman work, and what do you do?" "I simply spend it." "Otherwise I'd have left her a long time ago." "Don't you agree, Akaushi?" "We're swordsmen after all." "So, we're out of work... but why else would we want to lower ourselves and be with a pickpocket?" "So your woman is a pickpocket." "That's rig ht." "Horo's in love with a pickpocket woman too." "Is he?" "Yeah." "Is he mimicking my style?" "Hey, I won't let you insult Horo." "What?" "He's the living spirit of the samurai." "You're a mere womanizer." "You're not in his rank." "So, tell me..." "What is the living spirit of the samurai hoping to do with the pickpocket?" "How would I know?" "Does he come here?" "Hardly ever." "That's what's great about him." "You're into him." "I respect him, that's all." "Hey, I'm going." "Hey, don't go." "Let me drink a little more." "Don't worry, help yourself." "Can't you act more respectfully?" "Like you need it." "I'll chop Yo" "P" "Do you want to see how a womanizer fight?" "Come outside." " Sure." "Somebody, go get Gonbei." "I'll cut you down tonight." "You're dead tonight." "Here I come!" "A bush buried under will have no blossom..." "How sad my fate..." "Stupid!" "How stupid I am!" "I'm so stupid!" "Damn it!" "What happened, Akaushi?" "To hell with Akaushi." "Horo..." "You're crying." "Gen'nai makes me so mad." "Next time I'll finish him off." "I see you lost to him." "I didn't lose." "His fight is full of gimmicks just like himself." "Womanizer!" "I ran from him." "What's so funny?" "Doesn't matter." "Let's go." "I don't wanna." "Come on." " I won't." "I don't have to go home, as long as my favorite bar is here." "Boss, more Sake!" "This is my headquarters." "I respect my headquarters." "Boss, we'll depart early tomorrow." "You promised O'Shin that you'd come home, right?" "I sure did." "But now I've got money..." "You want to stay with me because you're in love." "Don't flatter yourself." "You're the one in love with me." "It's just work for me." "Tell me you love me." "I won't." "Say it." "No." "I don't want to hurt O'Shin." "You're so twisted." "I'm definitely staying over tonight." "What's so funny?" "I'm staying over." "Ma'am, would you like a ride home?" "Would you, ma'am?" "Shut up." "I don't need it." "I don't." "What's the matter?" "Sir Doi Magohachiro." "I come from Sashu Tsuyama." "Are you home?" "Hey, Magohachi." "It's a humble home but please come in." "Oh, that's fine." " O'Bun..." "He's really interested in you." "He says he'd pay anything for you." "What do you say?" "Well, then." " Let me see you off." "No, please do not worry." "Excuse me." "Hey, what did they want?" "Hey, tell me." "Shut up." "Don't come in." "Don't be difficult." "I'm already in." "Hey, don't be so cold." "Tell me all about it." "Do you really want to know?" " Sure I do." "Don't be jealous." "What?" "I'm returning to my lord at last." "Returning..." "Is that true?" "That's all." "That's all?" "It's great!" "It's wonderful!" "Magohachiro, what a lucky guy!" "Sure you aren't dreaming?" "Pinch yourself." "You owe me a bottle, one bottle, one bottle." "Hey, aren't you happy?" "Don't you want to share good news with others?" "I'm not happy" "What?" "It doesn't make you happy to return to your lord?" "I want to get out of here as soon as possible." "Of course you do." "I won't be able to laugh at you if I stay here too long." "What?" "Hey!" "Wait!" "You blockhead!" "Fool!" "Excuse me." "Who is it?" "Who is it?" "It's you ." "It's been a while." "I saw you walking by the other evening." "It's very nice to see you." "Please come in." "I graciously accept." "Yes." "Here you are." "Thank you for your help back then." "I feel self-conscious." "Let's leave that topic alone." "Yes." "Well, wait just a moment please." "Dear." "Dear?" "Horo." "Oh, Gen'nai." "Dear." "Do you know each other?" "It was unexpected." "Dear, a long time ago, he helped me out of trouble at the shrine." "When was that?" "When I was still with my boss." "Before you met me." "Yes." "I see." "So, a man who saved your life came to visit you out of the blue." "Is that it?" "Yes." "Gen'nai." " What." "Don't make ridiculous assumptions." "I want you to trust me." "I can't." "Akaushi just told me about it last night." "Akaushi?" "That's right." "He told me you're in love with a pickpocket." "Horo, get out." "Don't ever come back here." "Don't see her again." "Dear..." " Shut up." "I should have been more careful." "Gen'nai, I may be guilty, but don't doubt Ms O'Shin." "I don't need you to lecture me." "Ms O'Shin, forgive me." "Gen'nai!" "What?" "Don't be mean to her!" "Try and get along." "Otherwise..." "I am a samurai after all." "O'Shin, what things did he say to woo you?" "Be good and tell me." "I can use it next time I try to pick up a woman." "Don't cry." "Welcome." "Horo, how unusual." "What's the occasion?" "I wanted to have a drink with you." "I appreciate it." "What?" "Hey." "What's the matter, huh?" "Look, the rain came down because a guy like you came to drink." "Hey, Horo..." "This lucky guy is being hired back." "Hey..." "I need that knife... the knife." "What?" "A knife?" "What's with a knife?" "What's the story?" "Tell me." "I might be able to help you." "One ryo is all I ask for to go and look for the knife." "Please do." "You will?" "I see, all right." "One ryo..." "Wait, no..." "One ryo won't do it." "Five ryo." "Promise to pay me five ryo." "I will." "You will?" "You will." "But you see... in order to find the knife..." "I must work real hard because there are so many knives around." "Ten ryo." "It's well worth it." "Can't you pay 10 ryo?" "I won't go any higher." "It'll cost you mere 10 ryo to set things straight." "What a bargain." "What do you say?" "Say yes." "Say yes" "You will?" "All right." "I will help you." "What kind of knife is it?" "Boss, give me a brush and paper." "Ten ryo..." "I'm making 10 ryo." "Hey, what kind of knife is it?" "What brand?" "Tell me." "Hey." "The length?" "Nine sun?" "And what brand?" "I wonder if I should quit my work." "Sure, quit if you want." "But what do you think will happen after your savings are gone?" "I'll get a straight job." "How much can you earn?" "Will you be able to feed me?" "If you're afraid of cops, I can take care of them." "Hey, Akaushi!" "Come over here." "Hey, wait right here." "Listen, the knife is with that guy." "That guy?" "Him." "Oh, you mean Gen'nai." " That's right." "Well, that's convenient." "For 10 ryo." "Well, I'll fight him." "Don't push yourself and cry again." "Don't be ridiculous." "I've got it!" "O'Bun." "O'Bun?" "Was that your brother?" " Yes." "He's changed so much." "He was never like that before." "He may be feeling like he doesn't care." "Come on, let's go visit the shrine." "Hold on." "I heard she's cute." "Geez, quit it already." "Come on, I just want to look." "I'm not interested." "Don't be jealous." "Excuse me, here she is." "Excuse me..." "I'll be back." "Please wait." "Would you mind if I take a look at your knife?" "If you want it, I may give it to you." "Yes, my brother will be so happy." "I don't mean to be so direct but how much?" "100 ryo." "What?" "100 ryo?" "Can you get it?" "Get the money, I'll settle with 80 ryo." "Yes." "Next time I'm here." "Please give me your word." "Will you come back within a few days?" "Shall I ask you where you live?" "She's a nice girl." "I can have her for 80 ryo." "O'Shin, can you get it for me?" "I hate you!" "Hey, O'Shin, wait." "Gen'nai!" "Oh, Akaushi." "I won't let you off today." "Ten ryo." "Ten ryo." "What about it?" "I was determined to beat you as soon as I find you." "I prayed to the god of justice, god of warriors... god of protection, god of bow and arrows..." "The little god of mercy too?" "What?" "Did you promise him a red bib in exchange for your wish comes true?" "I made an oath." "Take it back." "You won't stand a chance." "Damn you." "Have a match with me." "Come out to the square." "Sure." "Dear." "Don't worry." "Sit back and watch." "Wait!" "Dear..." "Hey, hey, get rid of the bitch." "Don't worry, stay back." "Don't get too close." "See?" "Here." "Dear!" "Dear!" "Hold on, you're almost there." "Damn it!" "A good match. 50-50." "You should be charging admission." "Hold it for a minute." "Gets on my nerves." "That's rig ht." "What right do you have to make fun of us?" "Stop it!" "It puzzles me how anyone carrying swords can find a duel laughable." "Do you want to debate?" "All rig ht." "Will you be all right?" "Sure." "Why don't you both come at me?" "He makes me laugh." "Are you dumb?" "What?" "Haven't you heard of Obata Shichiro'emon... known as the best swordsman among the 80,000 hatamoto?" "Not at all." "Hey, are you really that strong?" "You can't tell until you try." "You shithead!" "Hey, Gen'nai, I'll leave those guys to you." "Sure thing." "Wait." "Wait until they're done." "Don't be stupid." "You'll be the first to die." "Dear." "Stay back." "You'll get hurt." "Move." "You're pretty good, aren't you?" "Shut up." "You yourself are much better than I expected." "Are you trying to judge the match?" "Of course." "Admit you can't beat me." "Tell the truth." "What?" "Will you treat me to a bottle?" "A bottle?" "Do you want me to buy you Sake?" "That's rig ht." "All right, I will." "You will?" "You're pretty reasonable, aren't you?" "Don't you think this sake is tasty?" "Hey, Boss, hurry up." "Here you are." "Hey, you're pretty friendly." "You damn lodger." "Shichi!" "Watch it." "Don't be so casual." "Sorry, sorry." "Listen, Shichi..." "Those who boast their inherited hatamoto status are altogether rotten." "That's rig ht." "You're different." "Right, Shichi?" "Yeah." "Hey, it's Shichiro'emon!" "Shichiro..." "Listen, Shichi..." "If you only have a room, do you want me to chase him out?" "Who do you mean?" "Your brother." "Don't be ridiculous!" "Hey, ask me." "Oh, Horo!" "Listen." " What?" "Come with me." "Sit here." "Listen, I was invited to live at his place." "The tide of luck is turning." "I might end up getting an official job." "What?" "Official?" " Yeah." "You see, he's got a brother." "We'll kick him out, then I'll get a salary of 50 koku... maybe even 60." "Yeah, that's what I'll get." "Hey, Shichi, let's go." "I mean, Sir Shichiro'emon." "Boss." "Please, please." "Akaushi!" "It's embarrassing." " Don't say that." "I'll get an official job." "I'm happy." "Be well." "I'll be sure to come visit you." "Gotta go." "Excuse me." "See you!" "What a crowd." "Did you call them?" "No, I didn't." "You were fighting against that ronin... my lord would be in danger on his own, so, everyone came to his aid." "Did you get the guy?" "Well, he ran away." "How incompetent." "Eight of you couldn't get one starving ronin." "But we've got hostage." "Hostage?" " Yes." "That bastard left his woman in his place." "Oh, I see." "So, they're all waiting for him to show up to claim her." "Looks that way." "It's getting interesting." "Come on in." " All right." "I see, we've got her." "Hey, what's going on?" "You haven't been around for a long time." "What's the matter?" "Is something wrong?" "I've gotten involved in a complicated situation." "Did it get resolved all right?" "Yeah, I made a kind of retreat." "That's the move." "What?" "Did you hear about it?" "No, I didn't." "I just think it's best to stay out of a mess." "Yeah." "But this time I couldn't really ignore it." "What happened?" "All these men showed up to the opponent's aid... and now I was in danger." "So, I left O'Shin as a hostage." "What?" "A hostage?" "I quickly ran from the scene." "It's taking long." "Way too long." "Brother, why don't we go on the offensive?" "Do you want to go on your own?" "You always make light of what I say." "Hey, Shichi." "Hey!" "It's Shichiro'emon!" "Well, Sir Shichihro'emon..." "I think we should beat her up and find out where they live." "Oh, that's a good idea." "What do you think, brother?" "Sounds good." "Nakagawa, beat her up." "All rig ht." "O'Bun..." "Here's 30 ryo." "Don't worry." "I'll get the rest of the money for you." "You're cold." "Treating O'Shin so cruely." "Hey." "You're silly." "It's not that I can't beat a small bunch of lazy hatamoto men." "But think about the consequences of killing them." "One or two men might not be a big deal." "But if I kill six or seven, I, a ronin, will be the one to get arrested." "Or their families and associates will come back with an army." "Hey, do you want me to take all the responsibility and die with O'Shin?" "Do you want me to die?" "Tell us where you live!" "We're kind enough to let you and the ronin you love die together." "Don't you get it?" "Say it!" "You won't?" "That's no good." " What?" "Nakagawa, that's enough." "Stop it." "Are you going?" " Yeah." "Akaushi." " Who?" "There's a guy named Akaushi Yago'emon." "I'll get him to come..." "Yeah, that's it." "That's the trick." "Will you be all right?" " Watch me." "Let go." " Let's go home." "Whether I drink or not... whether it's good or bad for me, it's none of your business." "Magohachiro, you're going to return to serve your lord soon." "You can't get sick." "Let go of me!" "Magohachi!" "That's rig ht." "You're rig ht, completely." "But luck has left me." "Let me at least drink and daydream." "Let me." "Let' go home." " Please let me drink." "O'Bun..." "I'm not going." "Magohachi, let's go." "Let me do what I want." "Please." "While I dream, the knife may suddenly appear." "With the knife I can go back and serve my lord in the official uniform." "Magohachi..." "I'm not going." "Not going." "Do I want to do that?" "Or do I want to drink and be rowdy." "Boss, bring me sake." "More sake..." "Hey, Akaushi!" "Gen'nai!" "I need you, Gen'nai." "What?" "I've got nothing to say to you." "No!" "Hey there!" "What's wrong, Miss?" "I'm not..." "I'm not doing anything suspicious." "Oh, I see." "Come on, be careful going home." "Wait." "It's fishy." " Fishy?" "She's suspicious." "No, I'm sure she works at the teahouse and had a customer." "Oh, she works for O'Sen." "Indeed." "No fun." "What happened to you?" "Nothing." "Were you able to get 80 ryo?" "Yes, well, 30 ryo." "I lost it!" "That's the room." "Over there?" " All right." "Is he dead?" "Is he alive?" "Hey, you!" "What's going on?" "What happened?" "Tell me." "I won't understand if you keep crying." "If you can't get the money..." "Oh yes, hey, I need you to do something." "Sake on a bamboo leaf never runs out... nothing changes drinking it this autumn evening..." "The money's all there, you say." "Yes, 30 ryo, all there." "So, you had a good time and you didn't even give her the money." "No..." " Quiet!" "Pervert!" " You're punished." "Pervert." "Don't fail." "Hello!" "Hello!" "He's here!" "He's here!" "He is?" "About time." "Hey, out of the way." "When did you get here?" " Don't ask." "It's not important." "Come on, die under my sword." "Wait!" "He's a guest of my brother." "I'll handle you in his place." "You stay back." "What?" " Come at me!" "You bitch!" "Wait!" "Hey, Shichi, he's good at running, isn't he?" "Why didn't you help me?" "You said to stay back." "I don't care." "Hey, Akaushi." "Don't let him go." "Get him!" "Go after him!" "Ronin, are you quitting?" "Hey, Magohachi." "Mago?" "Mago?" "What a mess." "How infuriating." "I can't stand it." "Hey, don't you have any good ideas?" "Tobei, how about you?" "Do you have any clever ideas?" "Someone once told me about an execution... with an ox tearing a body apart in some foreign country." "Execution by ox." "How amusing!" "Brother, let's take them and have their bodies torn apart by an ox." "Well, that's so cruel." "It's amusing." "It's a good one, a great idea." "Hey, Nakagawa... let everyone know... that the execution will take place in Kogoi forest at dawn tomorrow." "Brother, so you want him to witness his woman ripped in two." "Idiot!" "It's only an advertisement to attract a crowd." "How come?" "Because he's a tough one." "You're so weak." "Shut up!" "Go ahead and send out the notice." "Got it." "Hey, just a minute." "Doi's... no, the other woman you caught should be let go of." "Don't be stupid." "You're the stupid one." "You have the nerve." "Just let her go." "Get this: she'll then go to Gen'nai and tell him about his wife." "If he still doesn't show up, we know he's not human." "What do you think, lord?" "Letting her go..." "That sounds like a clever idea too." "He's coming." "I know he is." "You'll be executed if he doesn't." "Don't forget." "It's Kogoi forest." "It's a lie." "You're lying to me." "You're so stubborn." "I said, O'Shin is home." "No." "I get a nagging feeling that I'm being lied to." "If she's home safe, take me where she is." "Don't be ridiculous." "No." "Come on, take me there." "It's here." "Hey!" "O'Shin!" "O'Shin?" "Hey." "Hey!" "She's not here." "I told you." "What shall we do?" "I'll wait for her." "Akaushi, I'm not going to let you go." "I know." "He's late." "He may not be coming." "What?" "Wait, just a little while longer." "Brother, just do it!" "Do it!" "Do it now!" "Hold it." "Just a minute." "Shichiro'emon, let's wait a little longer." "Everyone, let's wait a while longer, just a little longer." "Hey, where are you going?" "I'll go and negotiate with Omiya Tobei for her." "Don't." "Excuse me..." "Which one is Ms. O'Shin's house?" "It's here." "Where is her husband?" "He's home." "What's the matter?" "What happened to O'Shin?" "To Kogoi forest, now!" "Kogoi forest?" "Torn apart by an ox..." "What, torn apart by an ox?" "Ms. O'Shin will be torn apart by an ox in Kogoi forest." "Torn apart by an ox?" " Torn apart by an ox..." "Damn it." "There's a large number of men waiting for you." "So they want to kill me?" "Exactly." "You fool!" "Come with me." "Alright!" "I quit." "What?" "Are you trying to save your own life?" "There's only one life to live." "I'd better take care of it." "Don't make me laugh." "O'Shin is your money source." "How are you going to live if she dies?" "What!" "You always talk tough... and you can't even kill a couple dozen hatamoto?" "What's up with you, Mr. Softy?" "Shut up." "Don't flatter me." ", ." "You re going, aren't you?" "Guess I am." " Go." "You never know." "Yea h, it's possible." "I can't let her die." "That's rig ht." "I guess we'll die together happily." "I'm glad to hear that." "Alright!" "Yeah, it's my memento." "You don't have to pay." "Koyoshi, be well!" "Thanks for your help." "Thank you." "Oh, there's that girl." "Let's go." "Lord, with all these men present, he may show up but will only run away." "Go ahead and do it." "An unprecedented hatamoto execution... with an ox tearing a body apart." "This will go down in history." "Brother, let's do it." "Do it!" "Do it!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Here he comes." "Yeah, here he comes." "You bastards!" "How can you call yourselves sword-carrying samurai?" "Respected hatamoto promoting execution by ox as entertainment?" "There!" "How strange!" "How much money are you making with this?" "Gen'nai!" " What?" "I'm your first bout." "Here I come!" "You're just a ronin." "Out of the way!" "No, I won't." "Why"" "What did you do with your knife in the golden bag?" "I gave it to a girl named O'Bun." "Idiot!" "You took away my 10 ryo job." "Die!" "O'Shin!" "I'll get you out of here!" "Alright, move." "I'll get him." "I'll get him." " Move!" "Hold up!" "Wait a minute!" "What do you want?" "Stop!" "Well, tea house maid... that dirty old man wasn't dead." "Not dead." "Well, we just wanted to tell her that." "Excuse us." "Brother!" "Brother... brother..." "Brother!" "Get off me!" "Brother, the knife... the knife!" "Ah, the knife... the knife!" "Bu"..." "Brother." " Bun!" "Who gave it to you?" "Tell me... tell me!" "Magohachi!" "Magohachi, you don't have to worry about it." "You..." "Is he an acquaintance of yours?" "That's rig ht." "An acquaintance of a sort." "Who is it?" " Is he..." "Is he a friend of yours?" "What's the matter?" "Yes, he's in Kogoi forest." "Kogoi forest?" " Yes." "Yes, he's there." "By now he must be..." "O´Shin." "Out of the way." "Brother?" "Magohachi, where are you going?" "Kogoi forest." " Idiot!" "Let go of me." "Let go of me." "Let go." "Magohachi!" "Don't let the precious knife go to waste!" "The two of you should be on your way to your lord at once!" "I'll handle Kogoi forest." "Got it?" "Gonbei!" "Master, I, Horo Gonbei, will go show off my best skills." "Bun, let go." "I said, let go of me." "Let me go!" "Brother!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Hey, loan me the horse!" "Wait!" "What shall we do?" "Kogori forest..." "Just the two of us won't make it." ""A wise ruler avoids danger." Let's go home." "Indeed." "O'Shin!" "O'Shin!" "You!" "Now, get him!" "Let me get him!" "Here I am!" "Horo Gonbei, the straight ronin, to your aid out of a sense of duty!" "What trouble." "Why did he show up where he's not needed?" "Horo!" "Horo!" " Gen'nai!" "Horo!" "Here's O'Shin!" "Save her!" "Get her out of here!" "I don't take requests from womanizers!" "Horo!" "We've got to do it now if we want to save her!" "Do it now!" "You should do it." "I'll handle the men." "What a predicament I'm in." "Just do it!" "Ah, I can't." "50 koku... 50 koku is just within my reach." "To hell with the 50 koku!" "Damn it!" "Here I am, Akaushi Yago'emon!" "Minamoto-no-Shigetoki... to Horo Gonbei's aid!" "Bastard!" "Come at me." "Here, get me!" "Hey, Horo!" "Akaushi, thanks!" "Yeah, sure thing!" "Akaushi, you betrayed us!" "Don't be ridiculous." "I just back where I belong." "One down!" "Akaushi, hold on tight for just a while!" "I'll be right back to join you!" "Akaushi!" "I'm counting on you!" "Don't worry!" "I'll be leaving here alone." "Hey, Horo!" "Buy me a bottle!" "None of you will leave here alive." "Neither will you." "What, you bastard." "There, two down!" "There, three down!" "There, there, five down!" "Come at me!" "Stay back!" "I'll get him." "Damn it." "Knowing this is the end, in the garden at Byodoin Temple... he lays his fan on the grass, takes off his armor, he gains his name..." "A bush buried under will have no blossom..." "How sad... my fate..." "He's tough." "Stay alert." "Akaushi, Doi Magohachi went safely on his way to rejoin his clan." "Gen'nai will probably leave Edo eventually... with O'Shin." "Akaushi..." "Hey, so, you were in love with her?" "I was." "Akaushi, have some." "You always loved the cheap Sake this bar served." "Even though you are in a different world now..." "I know you haven't forgotten the taste of this Sake." "Drink it." "Drink it." "Akaushi, drink it!" "Gonbei!" "Master, you were always good to us."
