"I will ask you to return the favor with your skilled blade." "I see..." "You don't seem to give a damn about your obligations?" "I suppose nothing is wrong with that." "Well, then... do you wish to leave now?" "I won't stop you." "But, all you can look forward to is, once more, the life of a fugitive." "The police, and assassins, will ceaselessly hunt you." "You'll be forever on the run like a stray dog." "And, once again... you'll stand on the gallows." "A man named Tokunaga Ransui is our target." "He is an advocate of anarchism, an absurd yet devastating idealism." "I'd like you to watch him closely for a month."

"Well, as you can see, we're a poor family and so common sense would tell us not to indulge in the luxury of a maid!"

"I'd like you to accompany me, if you could." "Yes, sir." "Sensei... we're being followed!" "The police are always watching me." "Those dogs!" "Yuki... follow me." "Tricking them is... one of the joys in my life!" "But, you see... the place we're about to visit is somewhere I certainly don't want fellows like those to step into." "This is the cemetery where my comrades are buried." "After being arrested for carrying out acts of rebellion they were brutally murdered last year." "Actually, this place is supposed to be... a pet cemetery." "My comrades were slandered, called insurgents then buried here, like they were dogs or cats... without funerals, of course." "Why did you bring me here?" "Because I wanted you to offer prayers also..." "Miss Snowblood." "Your name is Kashima Yuki... known to some as Lady Snowblood." "You've been desperately searching for something inside my house." "You want a confidential document, dangerous to the government and, possibly, my life." "The man who forced you to do this is the head of the Secret Police." "Kikui Seishiro, the top man in the govern- ment's intelligence apparatus." "And what is the goal of the Secret Police?" "To eliminate insurgents who rebel against the almighty, divine nation that is Japan!" "They're... the shadow police..." "the shadow army." "Why did you keep me so close to you... if you knew so much?" ""Rebel's Cemetery"" "That confidential document you're after I most certainly am in possession of it." "It's right here, as a matter of fact." "Let me tell you a story about garbage." "Once, around here, there lived a laborer named Yoshizawa." "Young, poor laborers... are nothing but garbage in today's society." "Paid but a pittance... yet, exploited from early in the morning 'til late at night his life was just one shitty day after another, I'm sure." "One day, he put all his anger and loneliness into a bomb." "Last February, Yoshizawa got arrested for blowing up the Kagurazaka police station." "People were shocked about this "Bomb- Devil..." but it was soon forgotten." "But, Kikui of the Secret Police came up with a plan to use this youth to his advantage." ""What if," he thought, "the bomb incident was not the work of an individual..."" ""...but was a plot, carried out by the anarchists..."" ""...and furthermore, was a part of a plan to assassinate the Emperor?"" "He fabricated a plausible story." "Then Kikui, and the Inspector General, Terauchi Kendo, spread these lies." "They'd been waiting for the right moment to dispose of all the anarchists at once." "Twelve of my fellow anarchists were captured." "Without the benefit of legal counsel, they were unjustly tried and immediately executed." "And, Yoshizawa, the only one who knew the truth was murdered by Kikui." "Logically, they should have come after me as well." "But, coincidentally, I was ill and home in the countryside recuperating." "Fortunately... or unfortunately..." "only I survived." "The crackdown gained Kikui his current post." "Terauchi, too, was elevated to the post of Minister of Justice." "But, Yuki someday, I'll bring them down!" "I may be a powerless nobody but I do have a weapon, one and only one..." "This!" "A document that Yoshizawa left behind." "He wrote down, in detail, the daily conversations between Kikui and Terauchi... in a letter meant for his mother." "If the "rebellion" is ever proved to be a fabrication both Kikui and Terauchi will be finished." "That's why, to them, the letter is more powerful than any bomb." "I see..." "She's betrayed us." "I thought I understood her completely..." "that she was tired of being a fugitive." "However, I must give Tokunaga Ransui credit." "He has successfully made the fire burn stronger the faint fire of vengeance that was still inside her." "Kikui, events are not proceeding favorably." "In three days, at Shiba Park there'll be a rally of anarchists and proletarians a joint national demon- stration and protest." "Undoubtedly, Tokunaga Ransui will make the letter public at the rally." "He will surely not squander such an opportunity!" "The press will jump right on it..." "and the people will riot!" "In the worst-case scenario, the uprising will become so uncontrollable that the government will inevitably be crushed!" "Just exactly what... is the Secret Police going to do?" "!" "Your Excellency... there is nothing to worry about, sir." "We can have Ransui detained, if we need to." "And, that will be that." "I doubt that he'll reveal himself anytime soon." "We don't have grounds to detain him anyway." "We do, sir." "We'll just use the woman." "Darling... please, be careful..." "Well, no need to worry about me." "I've got Japan's best bodyguard at my side!" "I've got Japan's best bodyguard at my side!" "But... for days now, I've heard strange rumors... all about today's meeting." "Oh?" "Rumors are already going around?" "Well, just look forward to reading the paper because a wonderful bomb is about to explode." "A bomb powerful enough to turn the nation upside down!" "A bomb powerful enough to turn the nation upside down!" "You can't be serious!" "I want you to hold on to it." "Should something happen to me I'd like you to deliver it to Dr. Tokunaga Shusuke in Samegabashi, Yotsuya District." "He's my brother." ""Tokunaga Shusuke..."" "Understood." "Greetings." "Halt!" "Tokunaga Ransui, Kashima Yuki!" "You are both under arrest!" ""Under arrest?"" "Tell us, for what reason?" "I, Tokunaga Ransui, don't recall violating the laws of this glorious nation!" "Don't act like you don't know!" "Snowblood is the reason!" "You know damn well that she's Kashima Yuki, a condemned criminal and you've harbored her!" "Arrest them!" "...and you've harbored her!" "Arrest them!" "Yessir!" "Yessir!" "Damn it, what do you think you're doing?" "!" "Yessir!" "Damn it, what do you think you're doing?" "!" "Damn it, what do you think you're doing?" "!" "C'mon!" "Get off the cart!" "C'mon!" "Get off the cart!" "Give up!" "C'mon!" "Get off the cart!" "Pull 'em down to the ground!" "Pull 'em down to the ground!" "Sensei!" "Get off me!" "Yuki!" "Run!" "Yuki!" "Run!" "Don't let go!" "Don't let go!" "Yuki!" "Run!" "Don't let go!" "Yuki!" "Run!" "Yuki!" "Run!" "Take this!" "Never mind me!" "Run!" "Never mind me!" "Run!" "Sensei!" "Sensei!" "Yuki!" "Sensei!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "Don't let her get away!" "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Halt!" "Shoot!" "Oh!" "Over there!" "During this period, three slums existed in Tokyo." "Shingami in Shiba, Mannencho in Shitaya and here, Samegabashi in Yotsuya." "Hey, fellow, what do you want?" "!" "The inhabitants made their living at various menial occupations..." "Day laborers... rickshaw carriers horse groomers... trashmen... and all sorts of criminals, outcasts and losers." "This was a place where those left behind by the ecstatic post-war society and other unwelcome lowlifes could live freely." "While there was no end to their poverty and humiliation they lived with tenacity and spirit." "Some say this was a dark corner of society, where dust collected where the police could rarely venture a kind of lawless district, beyond the reach of the law." ""Eatery"" ""Eatery" Satsuki!" "Say, Sekiguchi... what did you do with that gold medal you got?" "Got rid of it!" "It kept reminding me of the war, you know... so I sold it off!" "Why, you son-of-a-bitch..." "Oh, well..." "What about yours, Takichi?" "Huh?" "Mine?" "Well..." "It's in a safe place where nobody can find it." "I figure it's a good memento." "Where is it?" "You're always like that!" "You're always like that!" "Got me again!" "See?" "Take that!" "This is the real thing!" "The gold medal!" "Y'know, if our next blackmail venture works out... we'll be so loaded!" "Alright!" "When that happens, why don't we all go to Manchuria again?" "!" "That's a great idea!" "We'll eat well..." "That's a great idea!" "We'll eat well..." "...and there's women all over the place!" "...and there's women all over the place!" "Yeah!" "...and there's women all over the place!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "We can fuck them with our medals!" "Please tell me... where Dr. Tokunaga Shusuke's clinic is..." "Where is..." "Dr. Tokunaga Shusuke's..." "Lady... what do you need to see him for?" "Oh!" ""Samegahashi Clinic"" "How are you feeling?" "You..." "Listen... you'll be fine, now that you've stopped bleeding." "I doubt that you're gonna die!" "I doubt that you're gonna die!" "So, you are..." "So, you are..." "Yeah." "I'm Tokunaga Shusuke." "So, you are..." "Fate is mysterious, eh?" "Oh, the document?" "I have it." "Oh, no, you don't." "You shouldn't move yet." "But... the police arrested Sensei Ransui." "He should have been prepared for it." "He lives to lead anti-government movements, after all." "Does it hurt?" "You can't do anything in your condition." "For now, just get some sleep." "Just sleep..." "Hey, so what's the deal with that thing?" "Hey, so what's the deal with that thing?" "Well, wait a sec." "C'mon, what does it say?" "C'mon, what does it say?" "Lemme see it!" "C'mon!" "Hey, Takichi..." "Hey, Takichi..." "Huh?" "Huh?" "Did you read it all?" "Huh?" "Did you read it all?" "Did you read it all?" "Well..." "This is one hell of a document!" "If we use it correctly, we could easily topple a government or two!" "Right!" "People are burning police stations and staging strikes." "Little things can have huge consequences these days." "This little piece of paper could set off a major riot!" "Oh?" "Is it that explosive?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "What're you gonna do, Doc?" "What're you gonna do, Doc?" "Ha!" "What're you gonna do, Doc?" "Tokunaga Ransui... why are you protecting Yuki?" "!" "Even if you starve and wither... you are a well-known activist, after all." "No matter how much you oppose the authorities... and fight us like this we know that you do it out of a sense of duty!" "But, not Yuki... she's just a murderer!" "You'll never understand that, sometimes the act of murder is a just and rational one." "In your eyes..." "Yuki and I are... both vermin infesting society, aren't we?" "So what if we're vermin?" "We'll never betray each other." "Why, you scum!" "You think you're funny?" "!" "You're a fool!" "No confession yet?" "He's a stubborn fool." "Yeah." "Yeah." "If he's too much for you, we could take over as my organization is more familiar with matters of this nature." "But, sir!" "The Snowblood investigation was assigned to the police!" "I don't care what happens to Snowblood!" "What's important is the secret document he possessed!" "B..." "But..." "What should be your top priority is not arresting one female assassin but safeguarding law and order in our nation!" "If you want to hurt him, then do so until you're satisfied." "So what if an activist is tortured to death?" "Nobody... will ever give a damn." "Kill me, if you want!" "Because, I won't tell you anything..." "even if you're going to kill me!" "Fine!" "Fine!" "You asshole!" "You asshole!" "You stubborn fool!" "You asshole!" "Where is Yuki?" "!" "Where's Snowblood?" "!" "Tell us!" "Tell us!" "Where's Snowblood?" "!" "Where is she?" "!" "Go home..." "This is no place for you." "Go home..." "This is no place for you." "No!" "I'll stay here with you!" "Go home!" "These guys don't give a damn whether I live or die." "Why..." "Is it because you let Yuki escape?" ""Police Superintendent" Why..." "Is it because you let Yuki escape?" ""Police Superintendent"" "All right." "Is Sensei Ransui still being held by the police?" "Who cares?" "Who cares?" "Why don't you go and try to save him?" "What brings you here?" "What do you want from me?" "I know... that I shouldn't be visiting you, after all that's passed between us." "But, you're the only one... that I can talk to... right now." "Before I realized it..." "I was already on my way here." "I hate to say it, but I don't think that I can help you with anything." "That's not true..." "You can!" "You're the only one that can save him!" "What makes you say that?" "Are you telling me to take Yuki to the police?" "Did you come here just to tell me that?" "Huh?" "I didn't know that Yuki would be here..." "not in my wildest dreams." "But..." "Forget it." "Go home!" "Forget it." "Go home!" "But..." "Why don't you help your brother?" "!" "I have no brother!" "You still have a grudge against us." "You won't forgive us, will you?" "Forgive you?" "!" "Ha!" "What're you talking about?" "!" "Look at this place!" "Just look at it!" "Garbage!" "They're all garbage!" "And some of the garbage have their weewee's sticking out too!" "Yo, scum!" "It's so bad here... so bad that I don't give a crap about our past!" "All right?" "So, go home, will ya?" "I'm a kind of blackmailer." "Your husband tried to use that document in order to reform the nation." "But not me!" "I'm gonna use it to swindle dough out of those rich, fat scumbags." "With that money, we can eat and drink all we want, in style!" "Well?" "We'll all be happy that way!" "Oh..." "Don't you care what happens to him?" "Oh?" "Who's that?" "!" "Oh?" "Who's that?" "!" "Oh?" "What the heck is that?" "!" "Oh?" "What the heck is that?" "!" "What happened?" "Oh?"

"You did what you wanted to do, you got what you sought." "In the end, you lived the way you wanted to live." "Aya... you were once my wife." "You were such a foolish woman." "Just what did you ever see in him?" "When I was chasing all over Manchuria with only a gun in my hand, Aya thoughts of you were all that kept me going." "I thought that you were waiting for me back home." "Until I see you again, I told myself, I won't die..." "I can't die!" "Those thoughts kept me alive, and so I made it back to Japan." "But, my god!" "Why did you..." "Why did you have to?" "Since that day, I've had nothing to do with you." "Doc!" "Don't come near!" "I've no intention of completing what you started!" "No way!"

"And, 800 bales of rice to be distributed to the people in the slums." "What if I refuse?" "The document that you seek will be sent to the press." "All will become public then." "It'll be the end for you and your superiors." "Yuki..." "Have you any idea who you're dealing with?" "You're "a praying mantis battling a cart." You can't beat us." "We know where those lowly maggot friends of yours are and where you're hiding the document!" "If we wish... we can annihilate you all in an instant... with ease!" "Do it, then." "If you're not afraid of the Black Death, that is." "The Black Death?" "You shouldn't be surprised to hear of it." "You're the one who sowed the seed, after all." "My comrade is suffering from a severe fever but he clutches the document in his trembling hands... and waits for me." "Well?" "Why don't you go get it?" "Perhaps I'm already infected as well." "Are you scared?" "!" "You keep calling people maggots yet you're scared of contracting the Black Death, aren't you?" "I bet you are." "To die coughing blood, and wracked with a high fever..." "Surely, you're too worthy for that!" "Too worthy!" "Kikui..." "We can finish our deal right here, right now." "We'll trade all that you have for all that I have." "What do you mean by that?" "You're right..." "I'm an assassin, no better than a maggot." "Aside from my own life, I have nothing." "But, you're different." "You've maliciously exploited these so- called changing times... to obtain..." "Position..." "Power..." "Money." "You wanted them so badly that you could taste it, didn't you?" "Wanna throw them all away?" "Fine..." "I'll do as you say." "But, I'll need time to gather everything you want." "I can't do it all by myself." "Give me time." "Just tonight..." "Tonight is all the time we'll need." "I ask that you wait." "Stay here in this mansion for tonight." "Is that acceptable?" "We don't have any choice." "We must do what they want us to do." "Besides, it's only money." "If we act foolishly and make matters worse it would be like choking ourselves to death." "It's a lousy 130,000 yen!" "It's cheap!" "Kikui!" "Just what are you?" "Forget it!" "I'll handle this." "This is Terauchi." "Connect me to the Cabinet Minister." "It doesn't matter." "This is an emergency!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Mind your manners!"

"What will the press say?" "!" "If we do it in order to prevent an epidemic of the Black Death from spreading everyone will think we've done our duty." "...everyone will think we've done our duty."

"And, as certain gloomy matters have been taken care of you must be without a care in the world." "Kikui... how can I thank you?" "I understand that you've reduced that document to ashes."
