"Botaro Tamiya, lnshun Hojyoin, and Musashi Miyamoto all acquired reputations as sword masters." "As devils, I understood that their strength had become limitless." "However, each one was killed by Jyubei Yagyu." "Tell me why, Yui!" "That's why I want Jyubei to become a devil like the others." "Yui, you never stay quiet." "You're saying that this is part of your strategy, aren't you?" "Yes, Sir." "Daddy, I'm done." "Oshina, you'd better go to sleep." "Excuse me?" "Hey!" "He" "I have something for you to prepare immediately." "Open the gate, please open it." "According to instructions from the Head Governor, lzunokami Matsudaira you should be expecting the Deputy Associate Governor, Master Jyubei Yagyu." "Open the gate, please open it."

"Please stop!" "Stop, please." "You want to use this woman's body to become a living devil, right?" "It doesn't matter." "Please wait a while." "You mean I'm being inappropriate?" "No, but Jyubei has arrived." "Jyubei?" "You are Jyubei Yagyu." "Come here, please." "By the way, this position called Deputy Associate Governor why have I never heard of it?" "After my father, Associate Governor Tajimanokami Yagyu, died I was appointed to this special position by the Head Governor Mr. lzunokami Matsudaira because the position's vacancy could cause problems for the government during an emergency." "Jyubei, you use my name for your deception." "Mr. Yagyu, the top secret letter from Mr. lzunokami is only this?" "Yes, Sir." "Any problem?" "He wants to appoint Shosetsu Yui as a professor of Confucianism?" "Yes, Sir. I don't know any other details... I just came to deliver the message from lzunokami." "He wants to meet right away?" "Yes, Sir." "Jyubei..." "Wait a minute. lt seems dangerous." "I have you." "So you will meet with Shosetsu Yui?" "Any problem, Sir?" "Nothing, it's just a strange combination." "Someone, bring Shosetsu Yui here." "Come here, please." "Yes, Sir." "I am Shosetsu Minbunosuke Yui." "Nice to meet you." "I am Mitsuiwa Jyubei Yagyu." "Yui, you've already heard about Mr. lzunokami's message, haven't you?" "Yes, it's a great offer." "I am very pleased to hear it." "Thank you very much." "Please come as soon as you can." "Excuse me." "Please wait, Mr. Yagyu." "is there any problem if you take him after he finishes here?" "Mr. Yui is giving lessons to my men, and I am also studying Chinese history." "I understand." "I heard that Mr. Yui not only teaches the art of war but also uses a mysterious power to create devils." "Mr. lzunokami also heard, and it is his idea to use this power for the government." "Are you sure about refusing the Head Governor's order?" "I didn't say that I refused it." "I am asking you to wait until our business is finished." "How long do I have to wait, Sir?" "Yui, how long do you think?" "Let me see, about another two months." "Another two months... I understand, Sir." "I will report to Mr. lzunokami about it." "Let's go." "Yui..." "As you mentioned, I want him on our side." "Yes, Sir." "Who is taking care of Ohiro?" "Ms. Kasugano Tsubone is supposed to be." "No, she was making love with a young man." "Come here right now." "Please forgive me." "Please forgive me." "Dainagon and Yui have a very dangerous idea." "Since I needed to know about it, I definitely wanted to save you." "You saved me for that?" "Kind of." "You're a bad man." "This letter is a downright fake." "Maybe Jyubei forged it." "Are you lchi?" "I am Dragon, a member of the Yagyu Eight, Sir." "Yagyu Eight?" "If so, tell me the eight names." "They are Heaven, Earth, Wind, Cloud, Dragon, Tiger, Bird, and Snake, Sir." "I came to deliver this for Jyubei." "Yes, this is definitely Jyubei's writing." "Thank you for your delivery." "Excuse me, Sir." "Dainagon is thinking about fighting against the government... lf l go to Kishu and talk to him directly, he will definitely change his mind." "So, that is Jyubei's idea?" "Snake, snake!" "Give me the woman." "Master Jyubei!" "Oshina!" "Master Jyubei!" "Master Jyubei!" "You'd better hang it out to dry." "Cold?" "I'll warm you up." "Oshina!" "Seems like there is still love for people in your heart." "Master Jyubei... I'm a female ninja." "I received punishment because I didn't complete my mission." "Jyubei Yagyu, I'm so disappointed in you." "I invited you to the beautiful and dark world of Armageddon but you refused all that." "What will you look for in such a world?" "Devil, you've lost sympathy, love, sadness, and pleasure." "Jyubei, I will show you." "Everything you trust in this world will be revealed as illusion." "What blackened your heart?" "Jyubei, you only have one lifetime and someday you will be sorry for it." "It's a pity, Jyubei." "Master Jyubei!" "Master Jyubei!" "Master Jyubei!" "We found you, Master Jyubei." "You look all right." "Thanks to the Eight." "Seems like Mr. Mataemon Araki is taking action." "I know." "Are you ready, Ohiro?" "Yes, Sir." "Mr. Araki, it's been a while." "I wonder how long." "Mr. Araki, why is this?" "Jyubei, don't ask." "We studied the same style of sword art, Yagyu Shinin, at the same school." "I have to avenge my father." "Ready?" "I helped avenge Kazuma Watanabe at the crossroads by the Ueno Key Shop and became famous." "It is ironic that I will be the one avenged this time." "Jyubei draw your sword." "If you don't, I will slay you with mine." "You've changed, as I expected." "You were never the kind of person that would say such a thing." "No, I am a devil." "Ohiro!" "You never would have attacked innocent women and children... I am sure that you are a devil." "Are you ready, Jyubei?" "Ohiro, now!" "Thank you very much." "I wouldn't win unless I used this, would I?" "Master Jyubei!" "How far is the Hakkenya lodge where Jyubei stays?" "I think it's around 200 miles." "In order to be in time, I don't mind camping out." "Yes, Sir." "Let's move!" "Hurry up!" "Ohiro, you should go back to Yagyu Village tomorrow morning." "But... I can't protect you any more." "You still have to go?" "I'm not sure if Armageddon will happen but I have to get rid of the devils." "Master Jyubei, I expect you to come back to Yagyu Village." "You must believe that I have your best interests at heart." "We know that." "Can you find out what the devils are doing?" "Yes, Sir." "Anybody want candles?" "Mr. Kinta comes out for candies." "Ichi?" "Mr. Yagyu told me to guide you, Sir." "Where is Jyubei?" "He's already at Wakayama Castle and is waiting for you, Sir." "I'll guide you, Sir." "I understand." "Have you noticed it?" "Yes, I noticed it half an hour ago." "Good eye, Tiger." "I'd guess 7 or 8 people." "What to do?" "We have to report to Master Jyubei about Mr. Matsudaira." "But, we must keep Master Jyubei's lodging a secret." "You go ahead now." "Good bye." "Seven." "Mr. Matsudaira is at the Castle." "Take care of him." "Yes, I understand." "Mr. lzunokami, I've been expecting you, Sir." "Tajima!" "Your funeral was a charade?" "I would like you to talk directly with Dainagon right away." "We don't have to wait for Jyubei?" "Please let me protect you, Sir." "Very well." "Master Jyubei!" "Mr. Matsudaira is in Wakayama Castle." "Mr. lzunokami..." "The others are..." "We have to pay them back for these deaths." "Let's go to Wakayama Castle." "This may be our final battle." "Mr. lzunokami, here we are." "Where are we now?" "I would like you to go alone from here on." "We can't let him do that." "If you are with Izu, he does not come with me." "Damn you!" "You are... Ichi... you betrayed me." "He isn't responsible." "He was hypnotized by me." "Mr. lzunokami Matsudaira a governor for the shogunate from the Battle of Shimabara..." "You are... I think you've never forgot." "I am a man whose head you cut off..." "Tokisada Shiro Amakusa." "Shiro Amakusa..." "Mr. Dainagon is waiting for you." "Please come this way." "His role is finished." "Let's go." "Run to the castle without stopping!" "Yes, Sir." "You are telling me to be reborn as a devil?" "That's exactly what I mean." "If I cooperate with you after Armageddon, we will be able to control not just the shogunate, but the entire world." "If I refuse..." "You will be dead and never will return from the other world." "So..." "You're saying that I can't leave this castle without dying." "Even if you leave the castle, you won't live past next spring." "Tell me why?" "As you know, Shogun Iemitsu is badly ill and he will live only until next spring." "It would be no wonder even if he died right now." "At that point, it would be possible for me to take his position quickly." "If Shogun Iemitsu dies, every governor will have to commit seppuku just as any good samurai would after losing his position." "As you are a head governor and a trusted friend to the shogun it is expected that you would commit seppuku following his death." "You will die sooner or later." "If I am reborn from Hell..." "You will be immortal." "If you like, you can become young and keep that young body forever." "Your ailments will be gone, and you will be able to do anything you like." "Mr. lzunokami, let's control the world together." "Please please let me think about it for a while." "Didn't I explain everything clearly?" "Mr. Dainagon if he has any doubts, he can't be reborn from hell." "Mr. Matsudaira, I would like to give you time to think about it." "Spider!" "Spider!" "Master Jyubei, please go now!" "Spider!" "Master Jyubei." "Hurry up." "Spider!" "Go, go!" "Master Jyubei, please go." "When will I die for the first time?" "You will be able to die tonight, if you find a woman that you like." "Tonight?" "Armageddon will happen twenty days later, at six o'clock on June 6." "You mentioned that Edo Castle would be a battlefield like Mekido Hill was, right?" "Yes, Mr. Dainagon will be reborn from Hell just before that." "It'll happen seven days after I make love with an evil woman, won't it?" "Just like you said." "What do you think?" "Yeah, I like her." "I've already cast a spell over her body." "I'm ready." "How about lzunokami?" "Almost ready." "Mr. Matsudaira, please throw away these ridiculous ideas." "I have something to show you." "Master Jyubei..." "Master Jyubei, hurry up!" "Master Jyubei." "Jyub" "This is the woman who is supposed to be used for your transformation." "What do you think?" "Do you like her?" "Well?" "If so, I'll cast a spell over her body." "Please take a look." "Now, her body is ready for Mr. Matsudaira's transformation." "You are the one who killed 38 thousand people." "My goals wouldn't be lost even if I ripped you to shreds." "However, I will forgive you if you are reborn and join us." "But if not, I will give you more horrible suffering than you will have in Hell." "Please keep that in mind." "Master Jyubei..." "Sorry to have kept you waiting." "What can I do for you?" "What are you doing?" "Izu, why don't we make love?" "God Mother?" "Hurry up, now." "No, but..." "We're just a man and a woman." "Please make love to me right here." "But, wait..." "Mr. lzunokami!" "Who's that?" "Jyubei..." "What?" "Jyubei?" "I have thought of fighting against you before." "Just like the time you were Naganata master of the Concubine's Castle." "Wait." "I don't need your help." "Step back." "I want more, more..." "Anybody..." "Anybody, please connect my head to my body." "I want more, more..." "Connect my head to my body!" "Anybody!" "Mr. lzunokami..." "Mr. lzunokami!" "Mr. lzunokami..." "Mr. lzunokami..." "Mr. lzunokami!" "Master Jyubei!" "He isn't in the basement." "Please come this way." "Earth is chasing the strange old swordsman." "Hold on!" "Master Jyubei please don't go any farther." "Who was it?" "Who attacked you?" "You shouldn't go." "Yui and his company must have left for Edo." "See you in Edo." "But..." "See you in Edo." "Just in case, report to Executive General Sakai Sanukinokami." "All right?" "Yes, Sir." "I will wait for you." "Yes, go." "Father... I've waited for you, Jyubei." "When I heard you died, I had hoped that it was a mistake." "Jyubei, listen carefully." "I know that I died once." "That is true." "Father!" "We'll have our final duel with swords, something I expected to do before I died." "Even if you don't want the duel, I will kill you." "No, I have to kill you as a devil." "No, I want to kill you." "I truly do understand." "You should feel happy to be killed by your father." "No father, I will win." "Keep your grip tight." "Stand up straight." "Yes, more like that." "Drop your hips." "On your guard, ready!" "Stay focused!" "Unguarded moment!" "You don't have to beat the Shogun so badly, even if you're his instructor." "Although he is the Shogun, a fight is a fight." "You're so impolite!" "I disown you." "I admit defeat." "If you were not my son, I would like to fight you with a real sword." "Father!" "As I thought, you are stronger than I." "Father." "Jyubei, don't worry." "I haven't been myself, although it may appear otherwise." "Although you are a devil, you are still my father." "Father..." "Can you do something for him?" "We can't do anything." "We have nothing that can help." "I wonder if somebody cursed him?" "Mr. lzunokami, do you think it is something like a fox spirit?" "It may be an omen of Armageddon." "Armageddon?" "It is the final battle between good and evil." "It means the end of the world, doesn't it?" "When that happens, I wonder who will survive." "Mr. lzunokami, you'd better watch your mouth." "Yes, Sir." "I will leave it to you." "So, please leave this place." "Will there be any problems if we stay here?" "This is secret magic." "If there is somebody else here, the power won't have any effect on him." "We don't have much time." "It looks very dangerous." "I got it." "Yes, I got it." "So, please take care of everything." "We will step out." "Hurry up." "It's almost sunset." "Finally, Armageddon will come to pass." "Yes." "Come out, Mr. Kishu Dainagon Tokugawa Nobuyori." "You will become King of Darkness after Armageddon." "I will offer the third Shogun Iemitsu as a sacrifice." "Be reborn from Hell!" "Listen, almighty Satan." "Let Mr. Kishu Dainagon Nobuyori be reborn from the pits of Hell." "Mr. Dainagon, that's it." "Jyubei." "Come out!" "Save the Shogun!" "Jyubei, you again!" "Come out, come out." "Tokisada, it's done." "But..." "Let's go." "Get them!" "Come out, come out." "That bell tells us it's six o'clock in the morning." "Finally, Armageddon will come to pass." "Yes." "What's going on?" "It didn't work, as I thought." "Mr. Dainagon was killed, and he was supposed to become the King of Darkness." "In that case, what can I do?" "I've already betrayed Jesus." "I don't know what to do." "You'd better just wait for the next Armageddon." "Wait!" "Shiro Amakusa, there is a final chance that someone like Jesus will forgive you." "Jyubei!" "See you again at the next Armageddon, 351 years from now." "It's Jyubei, here to see you." "Jyubei, come in." "Yes, Sir." "I will follow the Shogun." "I have to save face as a samurai." "Please help me." "Yes, Sir." "Mr. lzunokami..." "Jyubei, I lost this time, but more devils will definitely attack." "If so, I am ready to fight against them at any time." "I am looking forward to that." "Who will be reborn from Hell next?"
