"Are these tears here in Shimoda?" "The port of Shimoda is the hometown to Koina no Ginpei." "An orphan, he joined Shimataro Onabe's gang which ruled the area." "Ginpei is known for his strength and courage." "Early summer of 1838..." "Koina no Ginpei came fishing together with his underling Dango no Kichi." "I didn't come to feed them!" "Dammit!" "You're not fishing?" "Why not?" "Something wrong?" "They come after anything!" "Ginpei has been deep in his thoughts lately." "Anything?" "Even after you?" "Like crazy!" "The minute the bait touches water!" "Got another one!" "Here it comes!" "Women never come after me." "I want better luck with fish!" "Keep yourself busy." "Ginpei is a bold man with a kind-hearted nature." "His heart is now dominated by a woman." "Oichi, the daughter of Gohei's Tea House." "He's not acting like himself." "I know why!" "You're thinking about Oichi?" "Aren't you?" "Am I right?" "I an right!" "That's ridiculous!" "Look who's blushing!" "Hey!" "Cut it out now!" "You fool!" "Ginpei is in L-O-V-E with Oichi!" "And you hate women!" "I know it!" "I can tell so!" "Shut up!" "Stop before I lose it!" "Even Dango no Kichi picked up on how Ginpei felt." "I told you to cut it out!" "The flower of love is starting to bloom in Ginpei's heart." "Outside the bustling town of Shimoda in Izu, not too far from the post town." "Gohei's Tea House, also selling snacks." "The owner Gohei used to be a member of Onabe's gang." "Oichi, his only daughter." "There comes Tsumegi no Unokichi." "Got it!" "Be gentle with it." "What's the occasion?" "Looking gorgeous today." "You're such a sweet talker!" "Although without a wife," "Gohei's place is prospering thanks to Oichi, his only daughter, known for her beauty." "Oichi, isn't it time we spoke to your father about..." "Sneaky, sneaky..." "Look at those two!" "Nosy mutts!" "Come on, stop it." "There they go!" "There rush in ..." "News!" "We've got news!" "Listen up!" "Unokichi!" "What?" "Talking got us nowhere." "We've no choice!" "A fight!" "You sure?" "Ushimatsu's gang is gathering their men!" "I see." "We'll go tell Boss about this!" "Meet us there!" "Better tell old Gohei!" "What's the fuss about?" "Oichi's father Gohei was a gambler, but came out clean and now works with the backing of Onabe." "A fight." "I'II also head to Boss' place now." "Right, before it gets too late." "I'll go too." "Bring my cloak." "A fight soon?" "Once it starts, Shimoda will..." "Shan't bother you honest lot." "Let's go." "Mr. Uno, please take care of Father!" "Don't be silly!" "We're not fighting yet." "Now, let's go!" "For long, Ushimatsu has been wanting to take over Shimoda ruled by Onabe's gang." "Tension was building between the two gangs." "Neither side could hold their silence any longer." "Back at Gohei's Tea House." "Ginpei is head over heels for Oichi, the shop's idol." "But she has already promised to marry Unokichi, who is also part of Onabe's gang." "However, Ginpei is unaware of this ." "Ouch!" "Taking revenge, huh!" "Ginpei's heart wanders off to Oichi." "Hey Kichi!" "You go home, alright?" "Me?" "Just go home now!" "You don't want me here, eh?" "But you know, no favor comes for free!" "Ginpei, brother!" "Buy me some snack." "Ginpei, a deal?" "Bribe me and I'll leave." "You surely know the score." "Come on, Ginpei!" "Stay here." "Gimme!" "Take these and go home now!" "See you then!" "Oichi." "Who's that?" "It's me." "Not Mr. Uno..." "Unokichi?" "Never mind." "Oichi, I need to talk to you about something." "You're waiting for Unokichi?" "No." "Really?" "I see it on your face." "But I'm not that bad of an offer myself." "There's something I've been wanting to tell you." "Oichi." "I'm just worried." "Father hasn't returned yet." "Oichi, so you're..." "not in love with Uno?" "Hi." "Take a seat." "Getting rowdy and noisy here." "Give us some tea." "Coming right up." "Damn them!" "Don't come now!" "There may be a fight soon." "Yeah." "We don't want to get sucked into a fight." "Is everything alright?" "Of course not." "These streets will be covered in pools of blood too!" "Even a cat will use up all its lives!" "I pray for Buddha's mercy!" "Don't scare us!" "It's best we get moving!" "Hurry now!" "Here you are." "The candy vendor." "Why are they in such a hurry?" "Oichi!" "I've something to tell you!" "Oichi, we'll have a fight." "I'll do my best, but I might die if I'm out of luck." "But death doesn't scare a thug like me." "Yet it's now or never." "I might run out of time to ask you this." "I've this feeling that I will." "Oichi..." "I know it's so sudden, but let me ask you straight out." "Oichi, how do you feel about me?" "I've been thinking about you for the longest time!" "Oichi, come on." "Please tell me your true feelings!" "Oh, Father!" "Father, you're back!" "How was it?" "Talking about it will do no good!" "Oh, Ginpei." "Go home and get ready." "Go share farewell cups and enjoy your last moments." "I've no family." "I'm a loner." "That's right." "Forgot you don't have a family." "I need some time to get ready." "Oichi, come help me." "Are you going to the fight?" "You are!" "I left the gang 13 years ago, and led an honest life since." "But owe so much to Boss Onabe for watching after us still." "Doubt that I'II be of much help, but better than a scarecrow." "What're all these tears?" "Stop weeping." "Such a crybaby." "Get my stuff ready." "Oichi!" "There hasn't been a fight in a while." "But before anything," "Ginpei needs to hear Oichi's response." "Is Oichi really in love with Uno?" "Ginpei!" "Ginpei!" "Ushimatsu's timing their move." "If we wait to gather more people, they'll make a move first!" "Fight or not, it's none of my business." "Come on!" "We're no good without you." "Get ready now!" "Is Gohei back?" "Uno..." "You're so lucky." "What's this?" "Ginpei!" "Lucky man you are." "Hey..." "Oichi loves you." "What's this?" "Loves me?" "It may be you who she loves." "What?" "Is that true?" "Tell me more about it." "What you just said..." "You said...!" "Well, Oichi always..." "talks about...you!" "She does?" "Uno, be straight with me!" "I forget all shame." "I'm 31, but just once in my life, I want true love!" "Laugh if you like." "So I'm begging you here." "Listen, I really, truly love Oichi!" "Then you really...!" "Yeah." "Unokichi, you just said..." "Oichi is in love with me...right?" "Why so quiet now?" "Hey Uno!" "Then you..." "Is it that you also love Oichi?" "Hey, answer me!" "Say something!" "Uno, answer me!" "Uno!" "Say something!" "Hey Uno!" "You..." "You love..." "Oichi too?" "You do, right?" "Why don't you say so!" "Ginpei, I'll tell you the truth." "I have to apologize." "Oichi and I have been in love for long." "What?" "Sorry, I should've told you!" "Forgive me!" "Shut up!" "You bastard!" "If I knew...!" "Inside, you were laughing at me!" "They say love makes you blind." "I suspected that you two might, but in fact I've been a foil!" "Damn you!" "Uno, love makes people demons or vipers at times!" "Remember that!" "Ginpei also loves Oichi.. ." "Even laughed at for being so blindly in love, there is only one woman for him ." "Oichi is the one and only." "But Ginpei's innocent love was broken, and he cried out tears of regret and frustration." "And her love is his pledged brother," "Tsumegi no Unokich" ""Love can make a person a demon or a viper."" "Uno!" "Oichi!" "Uno, there'll be a fight?" "Yeah." "Hey Unokichi!" "Aren't you early." "Thought I'd go with you." "Using me as an excuse." "You want to drink a farewell cup with Oichi." "That's fine too." "Come on, that's not true." "Just between us, I don't think we've much chance this time." "We're completely outnumbered." "Doubt that either of us will return." "Spend this time with Oichi with that in mind, Uno." "A huge fight it'll be." "Oichi." "Bring us a bowl of water." "We're drinking a farewell cup." "Yes, Father." "Gohei is torn inside seeing the two lovers, who dreamed of a life together." "Come on, if luck is on our side, we'll both return." "Right, Uno?" "Yes, I know that." "But with multiple enemies, my chances are low." "What?" "Multiple enemies?" "I won't give you details, but there may be a man after my head from our gang." "Who's this?" "Don't worry about me." "If need be, I'll put an end to that scum!" "What's all this?" "Please forget about what I said." ""Love can make a person a demon or a viper. "" "Koina no Ginpei feels the same." "Father, water." "We'll drink a farewell cup." "Oichi..." "You take a sip first." "Alright?" "Me?" "Then pass it to Unokichi." "As for the rest, I'll finish it." "The three swallow their words." "The bowl is passed around from Oichi to Unokichi and to Gohei." "Uno." "Uno, Oichi." "This is an engagement ceremony for you two if we return." "Worst case, it's the cup of farewell." "There's no end to our desires, but I'm approving your marriage." "Don't ask for more." "Be happy with what you've got." "Oichi..." "Uno..." "Father!" "Gohei...!" "Thank you!" "I ask for no more!" "Gohei..." "Thank you!" "Uno, of course I'm sad, but I..." "I'm happy too!" "The bamboo horn is blown and people gather." "Hardly anyone believes they'll return." "Both mentally and emotionally rattled," "Ginpei hears the Devil whisper," ""It's a chance to sack Unokich Oichi will then be yours. "" "Only if I put an end to that bastard Uno!" "Ginpei rushes to the fight with a knife." "Anything can happen at a fight.!" "They're blowing the bamboo horn!" "Come on, Uno!" "Uno!" "The signal!" "Yeah, I'm coming!" "Uno!" "Wipe those tears away!" "I'll be waiting for you." "Please come back!" "Whatever it takes, I'll come back!" "Gohei!" "You ready to go?" "Guys, our men ready?" "Yeah." "Let's go!" "Everyone's here?" "All ready to go." "Hurry!" "Please take care of Father!" "I know." "I know!" "Stop crying!" "We're leaving now!" "Uno!" "Please come back, Uno." "Then comes Ginpei." "Old man!" "Uno!" "They've gone?" "Fine!" "Oichi, is it you crying there?" "Your old man went?" "Yes." "You're not crying about him!" "Those tears are for Uno." "Go ahead!" "Cry all you like!" "I'll return from the fight, but tought luck with Uno!" "Keep that in mind and cry all you want!" "I'm going!" "Ginpei, don't say...!" "The bamboo horn is blown.!" "Onabe's gang confronts what seems like a whole army." "Even the petty underlings came ready to die." "They drank farewell cups with their families, while Ginpei was all alone without anyone." "Not to leave any regrets, he confessed his love." "His love not met, his broken heart wailed in misery." "While his heart burned with hatred for Unokichi, Ginpei thrust his knife at his enemies feverishly." "June 8, 1838." "The noise of the clashing swords and of men fighting broke the silence that covered the port of Shimoda.!" "You bastard!" "Guys!" "Let's go!" "Ushimatsu!" "Koina no Ginpei from the Onabe Gang will take out your gang!" "Chance and fate rule us all." "Many are injured from Ushimatsu's gang, and flee for their lives." "Boss, we better retreat!" "Onabe's desperate, going all out!" "Ushimatsu's gang all fled." "The chaos settled after some time." "No one's left?" "No more fights for a while." "With today's damage, even Ushimatsu's gang will need some time to recover." "Those injured." "They're alright?" "Where'd Ginpei go?" "Where's Ginpei?" "I saw him over there." "He's quick." "Bet he went back already." "Great job, guys!" "Ginpei, however, is waiting for someone." "He's waiting for none other than Tsumegi no Unokichi." "Uno!" "Hold it there!" "Ginpei!" "We're done fighting Ushimatsu's gang." "Now I pick a fight with you!" "You take my challenge?" "You traitor!" "You rat!" "You can call me anything you want." "A personal fight with you to pay off my grudge!" "That's what this is about!" "Dammit!" "Grudge for your heartbreak!" "You've lost my respect!" "Fine, come on!" "Ginpei and Unokichi fight over love.!" "Hold it now!" "What's this?" "Unokichi and Ginpei of Onabe's!" "Why are you at each other?" "'"Save the best for last," people say." "This is great!" "Sorry!" "I'll finish you both!" "Iwakado no Tajiro is one of the best in Ushimatsu's gang." "I wakado no Tajiro!" "Finish me?" "Let's see who'll finish who off!" "We'll be fair and take turns!" "I don't care!" "Come on!" "Uno will go first, then me." "A duel." "Amusing, right?" "I'm not complaining about that!" "I can better prove myself!" "Come on!" "You're proving what?" "Tajiro, you're a goner!" "Uno, go!" "Take him!" "Too much of a wimp, but not bad, Uno!" "Make your last wish!" "Shut up!" "Tajiro!" "But Tajiro trained the four master swordsmen of Ushimatsu's gang.:" "Kuma no Kurozo, Horaana no Sakuzo, Kurome no Matagoro and Shibuya no Hyakusuke." "His moves are as sharp as his sword.!" "Unokichi is no match for him .!" "You fool!" "Unokichi is gradually cornered.!" "Ginpei!" "You'll let your man get killed?" "Dammit!" "Fine!" "My life's yours!" "Take it!" "Be a man." "Keep your words!" "Watch this!" "You wimp!" "You're over!" "Uno, you're dead!" "Wait!" "What!" "Ginpei who had kept his silence..." "I challenge you!" "What the...!" "You bastard!" "Tajiro then just falls to the ground." "Ginpei...you...!" "Don't get it wrong." "I didn't save your life." "I just honored the rules of a fight and killed my enemy." "Ginpei killed Tajiro of Ushimatsu's gang to save Unokichi who he wishes so much to kill himself." "Next is your life!" "Of course, that's it!" "It's the same if I'm dead." "Just do it!" "Uno, I want to kill you!" "It's not out of hate, but out of envy." "Such a lucky man." "I want you dead!" "But who'll cry over your death?" "My hand shakes and my heart pains at that." "In honor of the girl I love, I'll spare your life!" "Cherish it!" "Ginpei!" "Where are you going?" "Where?" "I don't know." "There are plenty of other places." "With my long knife and a pair of straw sandals." "The wind will carry me to places." "A wandering traveler I'll be." "Uno, you take care!" "Hey brother!" "Ginpei!" "Ginpei!" "Hearing Unokichi call for him to his back, Ginpei leaves the port of Shimoda." "Unokichi!" "You killed Tajiro?" "You're a hero!" "That is how the fight ended, and four years have passed since." "After his four long years of traveling," "Ginpei returns to his hometown Shimoda." "A tea house off the road." "There are Lion Dance Master and a young boy." "This old chap is showing off his food as he eats." "Boy Yonomatsu closely watches his master in great envy without a word." "It is now the winter of 1841." "What is it?" "You wanna eat too?" "Looking like you're about to starve!" "You hungry?" "Then earn money!" "No money, no food!" "Go get some tea!" "Cut out that gloomy look!" "Money..." "No need to pay for tea!" "They'll pity kids and give it for free!" "So go!" "Yes, sir." "Ma'am, tea please." "Sure." "Poor Yonomatsu hasn't eaten today." "Only a bowl of rice the day before, because he didn't make enough money." "His stomach is empty." "His eyes are drawn to the leftovers of the travelers who just left." "I'm hungry..." "Don't give me that look!" "Bring my tea!" "Yes, sir..." "Stop whining!" "Hurry up!" "Beaten by his devilish master," "Yonomatsu spends his days in misery." "You want food?" "Then earn money!" "If you don't make enough today, no dinner for you tonight!" "Koina no Ginpei who is sitting nearby has been watching them closely." ""What a poor child. "" "Old man, bring some dishes kids would eat!" "Servings for two, three people will do." "Ginpei is remembering his own childhood." "Just keep on bringing them!" "Boy, come here." "You must be hungry." "Come." "I'll feed you good food." "But Master will..." "Forget about that old fatty." "Come." "Stop meddling!" "I'm disciplining him!" "I don't need a stranger intruding!" "Obviously he's not disciplined himself!" "Have some potatoes." "Eat all you want." "Go on." "Now boy." "Don't stick your nose in my business!" "Leave him alone!" "A devil like you can't take care of him!" "You're the idiot here!" "Talk to me in money!" "Fine, you want money?" "I'll give you money!" "Back off now!" "I've got permission from Sir Ushimatsu to work!" "This is the port of Shimoda." "Ushimatsu has no say here!" "Stop kidding with me!" "You'll pay for this later!" "Wrap up your stuff and leave!" "Be gone!" "Now!" "What did he say about Ushimatsu?" "You'll pay for this!" "There's nothing to worry about." "Oh my!" "Aren't you Ginpei?" "Glad to see you again!" "How've you been, old man?" "Tell me." "Things have changed around here, eh?" "Yes, and we all know why it has." "Ushimatsu took over the area." "It's so different from Sir Onabe's time." "Then, what about Gohei's Tea House?" "Unokichi married Oichi and they are living happily." "But Ushimatsu is on their back!" "His mobsters mess up their place." "Can't do business." "I see." "Thanks for telling me." "Gohei's Tea House." "Gohei has retired and Unokichi and Oichi now run the place." "They work hard selling various goods, making enough for their living." "But Ushimatsu's gang brings them trouble every day." "I'm so glad Uno." "You keep your prices reasonable." "Stay all you like." "I shall indeed!" "Ushimatsu's four master swordsmen as well as" "Hotate no Ushimatsu himself appear today." "Still doing business?" "Well then, dress the place up." "What're you guys doing here!" "The great Hotate no Ushimatsu is here!" "Get lost!" "Fools!" "Leave now!" "Hey!" "Guys, tear the place down!" "You asked for this!" "Leave this place now!" "Pack up and leave!" "Leave Shimoda!" "Uno!" "Just kill him!" "They made quite a mess." "I've cut my old ties!" "So please!" "'"Old ties"!" "Huh!" "Please stop!" "Don't be violent!" "Shut up!" "Pack up now!" "Leave Shimoda!" "Unokichi held his anger." "Please hold it!" "Please wait, I beg you!" "Wimp!" "Got that?" "Sir Ushimatsu, I beg you." "Please leave us alone!" "What a disappointment." "Tsumegi no Unokichi from Onabe's gang?" "Please sir, please don't bully a weak man!" "Father!" "We marked Unokichi as a threat to our gang." "But look at him!" "I don't pick fights with the weak." "I do this because Uno's strong." "It's said that four years ago, he killed my best swordsman, Iwakado no Tajiro." "I'd say a life for a life, but instead I'm telling you to leave Shimoda." "Sir Ushimatsu." "We understand, Sir." "We do understand!" "We won't turn down your kindness!" "I promise!" "Unokichi will leave Shimoda with us!" "No!" "No!" "I don't want to leave Shimoda!" "I promise!" "I promise we'll leave!" "So please!" "No!" "We worked so hard!" "Listen to me, Uno!" "You leave, bugger!" "Get out of Shimoda!" "Leave!" "Gohei!" "Are you sure, old-timer?" "You leave tonight." "If you promise that you'll leave tonight, I'll leave you alone for now." "Yes, Unokichi won't have a say in this." "We'll leave tonight for sure!" "I promise, Sir Ushimatsu!" "Really?" "Yes, sir." "Alright for now." "Be gone by tomorrow morning." "If your shop's still here, I'll make you regret your life!" "You and your daughter too!" "Understood?" "Yes, sir." "I understand, Sir Ushimatsu." "I bet you understand." "Boys, we're done here." "That night ..." "Unoklchl's full of cuts and bruises from the attack." "He had fought back his anger and worked hard to lead an honest life in his hometown Shimoda." "But even Unokichi had to give in to this nightmare of continuing harassment from Ushimatsu." "Thank you, Doctor." "Anger burns inside Unokichi." "As does in Gohei and Oichi too." "Oichi," "Father, this is just..." "I can't..." "Beaten up this bad, we've no other choice." "Let's talk with Uno." "Father...!" "Life is full of ups and downs." "Let's move to Inatori now." "Alright?" "It must be hard for Uno." "But you talk with him too." "Dear, are you alright?" "Sorry, Gohei." "Sorry for all the troubles this wimp brought you and Oichi." "I spoke with Oichi." "We shall move to Inatori." "I understand." "So you'll leave Shimoda?" "Please say yes, my dear." "I know." "Let's leave Shimoda tomorrow morning." "Really?" "I'm glad to hear that." "I'm sorry." "I brought you so much trouble..." "This spot here, it's getting worse." "That's no good." "You alright?" "Dear..." "It's getting hard to ignore." "Painkillers would help..." "The doctor just left." "Well then, I'll go catch the doctor." "You will?" "I should catch up with him." "I'll get some painkillers." "Sorry." "I'm so sorry!" "It's nothing." "Don't worry about it." "I won't take long." "I'm so sorry." "Please forgive me, Gohei." "I'm really sorry." "Look at this." "It's snowing outside." "No wonder it's cold." "Father, please wear this." "It's cold." "Thank you for going out so late." "Don't worry, I'm fine." "Take good care of Uno." "Thank you." "I'll be back in no time." "Soon after Gohei left to catch the doctor for Unokich .." "Dear?" "Aren't you in pain?" "Oichi, I lied to get Gohei leave the house." "I can't stand it!" "Please let me be a man!" "Sorry, Oichi!" "He binds Oichi who tries to stop him ." "Please don't come after me." "Wait!" "Don't go!" "Dear!" "Unokichi makes a raid on Ushimatsu's place, ready to die ." "Just then," "Koina no Ginpei together with Yonomatsu come to visit Gohei's place." "Are we there yet?" "It's somewhere around here." "End of the street soon." "It's here!" "Gohei's place!" "Yep, this is it!" "Good evening." "I'm coming in." "Good evening." "What a mess." "Someone broke in?" "Son, it's cold outside." "Come inside." "It's not your home, so be a good boy." "It's weird..." "Good evening." "Is Gohei home?" "There's a woman on the floor!" "What?" "See?" "Over there!" "Oichi!" "Oh no, no, no!" "Can't march in like this!" "You too!" "Must take your sandals off." "Got that, son?" "What's this?" "What happened?" "It's me." "It's me, Ginpei." "Ginpei!" "I can't understand you if you cry." "Where's Uno?" "What happened, Oichi?" "Tell me!" "Oichi!" "You have to tell me!" "Uno went to Ushimatsu's, alone to raid the place...!" "A what!" "Uno's making a raid?" "He's keeping his manly pride..." "He can't die alone!" "I'll go too!" "Hold on!" "Stop there, Oichi!" "He worked so hard to lead an honest life." "Yet he went to keep his manly pride?" "Yes, so I...!" "Listen to me." "You're no gangsters." "Ordinary people shouldn't get involved." "That's what gangsters are for." "I pretty much get the picture from your story." "I'll go." "But I won't go for Uno." "Oichi, it's you who I am going for!" "Ginpei...!" "Don't worry." "Ginpei..." "I owe you so much." "But you must promise me that you'll live happily this time." "Alright?" "Thank you so much." "Thank you!" "Where are you going?" "Where?" "I'll be back in no time." "Be a good boy and wait for me." "Will you really come back?" "Yes, I will." "Ginpei." "I'm sorry, Ginpei!" "You're a good boy." "Old man, he's got no family." "Please look after him." "Okay, Oichi?" "Yes." "You wait here, alright?" "No!" "Don't leave me!" "Don't go!" "Don't be so difficult." "Listen, boy." "From today, you listen to them." "Be a good boy and they'll take care of you." "You got that?" "Okay." "Old man, Oichi, I'm going!" "Leaving the boy behind, Ginpei runs off to" "Ushimatsu's place in the snow.!" "Ushimatsu's gang now rules the area of Shimoda." "They're done gambling for the night." "Gonna go see my ladies!" "What a great night!" "Got lucky tonight!" "Luck's always with you!" "You never know!" "Let's go!" "The real fun awaits us!" "Use an umbrella or not, that is the question." "Let's go!" "A raid!" "You're nasty Uno!" "Yeah, I'm Unokichi from Onabe's gang!" "I've kept quiet since I'm no gangster anymore!" "But no more!" "I'm gonna kill you all!" "You hear me!" "Bastards!" "Unokichi comes rushing in with a sword in hand.!" "Fool!" "He's all alone!" "Walked into his own grave!" "Guys, finish him!" "While Unokichi is fighting his battle alone, one man sneaks into Ushimatsu's place." "Ginpei!" "Don't kill me!" "Over there!" "Kill me!" "Now!" "Don't ask, I will!" "Hold it there!" "Stop!" "So you're Hotate no Ushimatsu?" "You're..." "Ginpei!" "Sure, I'm Koina no Ginpei!" "Damn you!" "What's this mess here?" "Ashamed yet?" "Look at this." "So much trouble taking down one ex-gangster?" "So many of your dogs taken down." "Great gang you've got here!" "What's that!" "What's that look?" "You'll kill him?" "He's no gangster anymore!" "Ginpei!" "Lost your pride as a gangster?" "Gangsters kill gangsters, no one else!" "I'll take down all of you!" "You spooked?" "Come on!" "Now!" "If you guys won't, I will!" "Come on!" "Ginpei splatters blood over the snow-covered town of Shimoda." "He hasn't forgotten his tricksl" "Unokichi, go home now!" "Forgot about Oichi?" "Oichi and her old man are waiting for you." "Go now!" "But I've got to take Ushimatsu!" "Leave that to me!" "Go home!" "You bastard!" "Take this!" "Uno, go!" "Unokichi!" "Go home!" "From soft to strong, various winds blow in people's lives!" "You ought to go home and take care of your wife!" "You're over!" "You've regained your manly pride." "Now go!" "I've given up my life!" "You fool!" "Go home!" "You've got Oichi to take care!" "Got that?" "Then go!" "I'm sorry!" "FREEZE!" "Over there!" "Uno's there!" "My dear!" "Oichi!" "Unokichi, you're fine?" "Gohei!" "And Ginpei?" "Ginpei is fighting Ushimatsu's gang for me." "He told me to leave to see you!" "I see." "Sorry, Ginpei!" "My dear!" "What a mess!" "Such a big fight!" "But the offender got caught." "Good." "Hold it there." "Who got caught?" "The young guy who raided Ushimatsu's place got arrested just now and is being taken away." "Then Ginpei is...!" "Wait!" "Wait, dear!" "The real offender is me!" "Dear!" "Please wait!" "Unokichi runs after Ginpei, who is being taken away." "Ginpei has claimed that he killed Ushimatsu on his own." "Hey!" "Wait for me!" "Hey!" "Wait for me!" "Please wait a second, sir!" "I'm the real offender!" "So please hold on!" "What're you saying, you fool!" "You going to take away my credit?" "Sir, there's no way a wimp like him could've killed Ushimatsu." "You just shut up and leave!" "I'm the real killer!" "Shut up!" "Please, sir, take me away." "Take him!" "Please wait!" "I'm the real..." "I'm the real killer!" "Don't turn down his kindness!" "Wait!" "Please wait!" "Ginpei!" "Ginpei is being taken away, taking on Unokichi's crime as his own." "Dear!" "Unokichi!" "Dear, Ginpei..." "I had made up my mind, but Ginpei is a bigger man than me." "He left me with great advice." "He's being taken away, over there." "Sorry..." "Ginpei, we owe you our lives." "Is he not returning anymore?" "Gone forever?" "Don't worry about anything." "Boy, don't cry now." "You have a new mother and a father now." "Yonomatsu, come to my place." "For his love's happiness, Koina no Ginpei takes all the blame out of love." "Ginpei now lies alone in the ice-cold cell." "Leave Shimoda in Izu in the morning, arrive in Toba Bay by night." "Row a lighter, roll the masts." "We long for Shimoda as we make for our destination." "Where is this song of Shimoda heard?" "In the dreams of Koina no Ginpei."

"Are these tears here in Shimoda?" "The port of Shimoda is the hometown to Koina no Ginpei." "An orphan, he joined Shimataro Onabe's gang which ruled the area." "Ginpei is known for his strength and courage." "Early summer of 1838..." "Fishing together with his underling Dango no Kichi." "Damn!" "I didn't come to feed them!" "All I get are small." "You're not fishing?" "Why not?" "They come after anything." "Anything?" "Even after you?" "Like crazy!" "The instant the bait touches water!" "Something wrong?" "You look happy." "I got a beast of a..." "Or not." "I went easy on it." "It lucked out!" "Keep yourself busy." "Women never come after me." "I've far better luck with fish." "No good." "Ginpei?" "A man of clear-cut nature, Ginpei's heart is now dominated by a woman." "Oichi, the daughter of Gohei's Tea House." "So what is it?" "What's bothering your mind?" "I'm guessing the tea house girl?" "Who!" "Your face says so!" "Oichi, right?" "Don't be so ridiculous!" "Who says so?" "I know!" "I can tell." "Can't fool my eyes!" "Oichi's on your mind!" "That's just nonsense!" "Who's blushing now?" "And you hate women!" "You fool!" "Cut it out!" "See?" "You getting upset proves" "Stop before I lose it!" "I'm damn right!" "You're hallucinating!" "You can't fool me!" "That's for sure." "Oops!" "Ouch!" "Even Dango no Kichi picked up on how Ginpei felt." "Outside the bustling town of Shimoda in Izu." "Not too far from the post town is Gohei's Tea House, also selling snacks." "Oichi, the only daughter." "There comes Tsumegi no Unokichi." "Mr. Uno." "Hi Oichi!" "This here right?" "Caught it for you." "What's the occasion?" "Looking gorgeous today." "You're such a sweet talker!" "Although without a wife, Gohei's place is prospering thanks to Oichi, his only daughter, known for her beauty." "Oichi, isn't it time we spoke to your father about" "Ooooh!" "Lovey-dovey!" "We saw it!" "Nosy mutts!" "You better go easy on kids." "There rush in ..." "Listen up!" "There'II be a fight!" "Better tell everyone!" "What's this?" "Talking got us nowhere." "We've no other choice." "Ushimatsu's gang is gathering their men." "What!" "You sure?" "I'll go tell Boss about this!" "You spread the news!" "Quickly!" "Spread the word, alright?" "Tell old Gohei too!" "What's the fuss about?" "What's going on?" "Ushimatsu's gang is mobilizing." "Maybe a fight." "There's no doubt!" "They've got quite a number!" "I see." "A fight." "Uno..." "You'll go see Boss?" "Yeah, I'll go see him." "I'II go too, before it gets too late." "Bring me my cloak." "A fight soon?" "It's not for certain yet." "Once it starts, Shimoda will..." "Don't worry." "Shan't bother you honest lot." "Let's get going." "Mr. Uno, please take care of Father." "Don't be silly!" "We're not fighting yet." "Hey Uno." "Let's go!" "Ushimatsu has been wanting to take over Shimoda." "Tension has been building between the two gangs by day." "Neither side could hold their silence any longer." "Back at Gohei's Tea House." "Ginpei is head over heels for Oichi, the shop's idol." "But she has already promised to marry Unokichi, who is also part of Onabe's gang." "However, Ginpei is unaware of this ." "How dare you!" "Biting me because I caught you!" "Ginpei's heart wanders off to Oichi." "Hey Kichi, keep it down." "You go home." "Me?" "Oh, come on!" "Just go home now." "You want me home?" "You don't want me here, eh?" "You want me..." "Just go home." "Got that?" "Why, of course!" "Oichi!" "But you know, no favor comes for free." "What the...!" "What do you want!" "A snack or two, you know." "It's a deal?" "You surely know the score!" "Over here." "Ginpei, just bribe me." "Here, you rat!" "Snack, so go home!" "Now!" "As you say." "See you later then." "I'm heading home." "Enjoy smooching!" "You idiot!" "Hey Oichi." "Who's that?" "Oichi, it's me." "Not Uno." "Unokichi?" "Never mind." "Oichi!" "I need to talk to you abouth something." "You got time?" "You're waiting for Uno to show up, aren't you?" "Aren't you waiting for Unokichi?" "Uno?" "Yeah, Uno." "I see that on your face." "But I'm not that bad of an offer myself." "So Oichi, there's something I've been wanting to tell you." "Don't be silly." "I'm just worried." "Father hasn't returned yet." "Oichi, that means you're not in love with Uno?" "Don't ask me." "Hi." "Take a seat." "Getting rowdy and noisy around here." "Give us some tea." "Coming right up." "Damn them!" "Getting in my way." "I was so close!" "Maybe a fight soon?" "That's unsettling." "We don't want to get sucked into a fight." "Is everything alright, Ginpei?" "Of course not." "These streets will be covered in blood too." "Even a cat will use up all its lives!" "Don't scare us." "I pray for Buddha's mercy!" "It's best we get moving!" "Let's get going!" "Here you are." "What's the rush?" "Why is the candy vendor in such a hurry?" "Oichi!" "I've something to tell you." "We'll have a fight." "I'll do my best, but I might die if I'm out of luck." "But death doesn't scare a thug like me." "Yet it's now or never." "I might run out of time to ask you this." "I've this feeling that I will." "Oichi," "I know it's so sudden, but let me ask you straight out." "Oichi, how do you... feel about me?" "Be straight with me." "I've always...!" "Oh, Father!" "You're back!" "How was it?" "Talking about it will do no good." "Oh, Ginpei." "Go home and get ready." "Go share farewell cups." "I'm a loner." "I've no one like that." "That's right." "Forgot you don't have a family." "I need some time to get ready." "Oichi, come help me." "You're going too, Father?" "To the fight?" "You are!" "Well..." "I left the gang 13 years ago, anf led an honest life since." "But I owe so much to Boss Onabe for watching after us still." "Doubt that I'II be of much help, but better than a scarecrow." "What're all these tears?" "Stop weeping." "She's such a crybaby." "Get my stuff ready." "Quick." "There hasn't been a fight in a while." "But before that," "Ginpei needs to hear Oichi's response." "Is Oichi really in love with Uno?" "Then comes Unokich" "Ginpei!" "Ushimatsu's timing their move." "If we wait to gather more people, they'll make a move first." "Fight or not, it's none of my business." "Come on!" "We're no good without you." "Get ready now!" "Is Gohei back?" "Unokichi." "Uno." "What is it?" "You're so lucky." "What're you talking about?" "Hey..." "Oichi loves you." "What's this?" "Loves me?" "It may be you who she loves." "What?" "Is that true?" "Tell me more about it." "What you just said..." "Well, Oichi always..." "talks about...you..." "Oichi talks about me?" "Yea...yeah..." "She does." "I see." "Sorry, come over here." "Uno, be straight with me." "I forget all shame." "I'm 31, yet I've bought all my love so far." "Just once in my life, I want true love." "Laugh if you like." "So I'm..." "begging you here." "Listen, I really, truly love Oichi." "Then you really...?" "Yeah." "What's wrong?" "What's the matter, Unokichi?" "You just said" "Oichi is in love with me...right?" "Didn't you, Uno?" "Why so quiet now?" "Then you..." "Is it that... you also love Oichi?" "That's it?" "Answer me!" "Say something!" "Ginpei." "I'll tell you the truth." "I have to apologize." "Oichi and I have been in love for a long time." "What!" "Sorry!" "I should've told you!" "Forgive me!" "You bastard!" "If I knew, Unokichi...!" "Inside, you were laughing at me!" "They say love makes you blind." "I suspected that you two might, but in fact I've been a fool!" "Uno, love makes people demons or vipers at times." "You remember that!" "Ginpei also loves Oichi..." "Even laughed at for being so blindly in love, there is only one woman for him ." "Oichi is the one and only." "But Ginpei's innocent love was broken and he cried out tears of regret and frustration." "And her love is his pledged brother," "Tsumegi no Unokich" "Would love make him a demon or a viper?" "Uno!" "Oichi!" "When did you come?" "There'II be a fight?" "Hey Unokichi." "Aren't you early." "Thought I'd go with you." "Using me as an excuse." "You want to drink a farewell cup with Oichi." "That's fine too." "Just between us," "I don't think we've much chance this time." "We're completely outnumbered." "Doubt that either of us will return." "Spend this time with Oichi with that in mind." "A huge fight it'll be..." "Don't forget about your honor." "Oichi..." "Bring us a bowl of water." "We're drinking a farewell cup." "Yes, Father." "Gohei is torn inside seeing the two lovers, who dreamed of a life together." "Come on." "If luck is on our side, we'll both return." "Yes, I know that." "But with multiple enemies, my chances are low." "What?" "Multiple enemies?" "I won't give you details, but there may be a man after my head from our gang." "Who's this?" "Just spill it!" "Don't worry about me." "If need be, I'll put an end to that scum!" "What's all this?" "Please forget about what I said." ""Love makes people demons or vipers. "" "Koina no Ginpei feels the same." "Father, water." "Right." "Now." "We'll drink a farewell cup." "Oichi, take a sip first." "Me?" "Now pass it to Unokichi." "Go on." "Well I..." "Yes, Father." "I'll finish the rest." "The bowl is passed around from Oichi to Unokichi and to Gohei." "Uno, Oichi." "This is an engagement ceremony for you two if we return." "Worst case, it's a farewell cup." "There's no end to our desires, but I'm approving your marriage." "Don't ask for more." "Be happy with what you've got." "Alright, Oichi?" "Gohei!" "Thank you so much!" "I ask for no more!" "Uno!" "Of course I'm sad, but I'm happy too!" "The bamboo horn is blown and people gather." "Hardly anyone believe they'll return." "Both mentally and emotionally rattled, Ginpei hears the Devil whisper," ""It's a chance to sack Unokich Oichi will then be yours. "" "Only if I put an end to that bastard Uno!" "Ginpei rushes to the fight with a knife." "Anything can happen at a fight.!" "They're blowing the bamboo horn!" "Come on, Uno!" "Yeah, I'm coming!" "Uno!" "Wipe those tears away!" "I'll be waiting for you." "Please come back!" "I will." "Whatever it takes," "I'll come back." "You ready to go?" "Yeah." "Our men ready?" "Yeah." "Then go!" "Everyone's here?" "All ready to go?" "Let's not fall behind!" "What's the wait!" "Please take care of Father!" "I know." "Stop crying!" "We're leaving now!" "Then comes Ginpei." "Gohei, old man!" "Uno!" "They've gone?" "Fine!" "Oichi, is it you crying there?" "Ginpei." "Your old man went?" "You're not crying about him!" "Those tears are for Uno." "Go ahead and cry!" "Cry all you like!" "I'll return from the fight, but tough luck for Uno." "Keep that in mind and cry all you want!" "Ginpei, don't say...!" "The bamboo horn is blown.!" "Onabe's gang confronts what seems like a whole army." "Even the petty underlings came ready to die." "They drank farewell cups with their families, while Ginpei was all alone without anyone." "Not to leave any regrets, he confessed his love but was not met." "His broken heart wailed in misery." "While his heart burned with hatred for Unokichi, Ginpei thrust his knife at his enemies feverishly." "June 8, 1838." "The noise of the clashing swords and of men fighting broke the silence that covered the port of Shimoda.!" "You bastard!" "Ushimatsu!" "Koina no Ginpei from the Onabe Gang will take out your gang!" "Chance and fate rule us all." "Many are injured from Ushimatsu's gang, and flee for their lives." "Boss, let's not risk it!" "We better retreat once." "Onabe's desperate, going all out!" "Ushimatsu's gang all fled." "The chaos settled after some time." "No one's left?" "No." "No more fights for a while." "With today's damage, even Ushimatsu's gang will need some time to recover." "Yeah?" "Yes." "Those of you injured." "You alright?" "Where'd Ginpei go?" "I saw him over there." "He's quick." "Bet he went back already." "I see." "Great job, guys!" "Ginpei, however, is waiting for none other than Tsumegi no Unokichi." "Uno!" "Hold it there!" "Ginpei!" "We're done fighting Ushimatsu's gang." "Now I pick a fight with you!" "Will you take my challenge?" "You traitor!" "You can call me anything you want." "You fool!" "A personal fight to pay off my grudge!" "That's what this is about!" "Grudge for your heartbreak!" "You've lost my respect!" "Fine, come on!" "What'll come out of this fight between the two for the love Ginpei lost?" "Hold it now!" "What's this?" "Unokichi and Ginpei of Onabe's at each other!" "'"Save the best for last," people say." "This is great!" "Sorry!" "I'll finish you both!" "Iwakado no Tajiro is one of the best in Ushimatsu's gang." "Iwakado no Tajiro!" "Finish me?" "Let's see who'll finish who off!" "We'll be fair here." "We'll take turns!" "I don't care!" "Uno will go first, then me." "A duel." "Amusing, right?" "I'm not complaining to that!" "You bugger!" "I can better prove myself." "Come on!" "Tajiro, you're a goner!" "Too much of a wimp, but not bad, Uno!" "Make your last wish!" "Shut up!" "But Tajiro trained the four master swordsmen of Ushimatsu's gang.:" "Kuma no Kurozo, Horaana no Sakuzo, Kurome no Matagoro and Shibuya no Hyakusuke." "His moves are as sharp as his sword.!" "Unokichi is no match for him ." "Dammit!" "Unokichi is gradually cornered.!" "Ginpei!" "Ginpei!" "You'll let your man get killed?" "Fine!" "My life's yours!" "Take it!" "You said it." "This is amusing!" "Be a man." "Keep your word!" "You fool!" "Wait!" "Ginpei who had kept his silence..." "I challenge you!" "What!" "You bastard!" "Tajiro then just drops to the ground." "Ginpei...you...!" "Don't get it wrong." "I didn't save your life." "I just honored the rules of a fight and killed my enemy." "Ginpei killed Tajiro of Ushimatsu's gang to save Unokichi who he wishes so much to kill himself." "Next is your life!" "Of course, that's what you're after!" "It's the same if I'm dead." "Just do it!" "Uno, I want to kill you!" "I despise you so much!" "No, I envy you so much." "Such a lucky man." "I want you dead, but who'll cry over your death?" "My hand shakes and my heart pains at that." "In honor of the girl I love, I'll spare you your life!" "Cherish it!" "Ginpei!" "Where are you going?" "I don't know." "There are plenty of other places." "With my long knife and a pair of straw sandals." "The wind will carry me to places." "A wandering traveler I'll be." "Uno, you take care!" "Hey brother!" "Ginpei...!" "Hearing Unokichi call for him to his back, Ginpei leaves the port of Shimoda." "Unokichi!" "You killed Tajiro?" "You're a hero!" "That is how the fight ended, and four years went by as if in a dream." "After his four long years of traveling," "Ginpei returns to his hometown Shimoda." "A tea house off the road." "There are Lion Dance Master and a young boy." "This old chap is showing off his food as he eats." "Boy Yonomatsu watches him in envy without a word." "It is now the winter of 1841..." "What is it?" "You wanna eat too?" "Looking like you're about to starve." "You hungry?" "Then earn money!" "No money, no food!" "That's the rule!" "Go get some tea!" "Cut out that gloomy look!" "Money..." "No need to pay for tea!" "They'll pity kids and give it for free!" "So go!" "Yes, sir." "Ma'am, tea please." "Sure, right away." "Poor Yonomatsu hasn't eaten today." "Only a bowl of rice the day before, because he didn't make enough money." "His stomach is empty." "His eyes are drawn to the leftovers of the travelers who just left." "I'm hungry..." "Don't give me that look." "Hey!" "Where's my tea!" "Get it now!" "Yes, sir..." "Stop whining!" "Cut it out!" "Beaten by his devilish master," "Yonomatsu spends his days in misery." "Listen." "You hungry?" "Want food?" "Then earn money!" "If you don't, no dinner for you tonight!" "Got that?" "Koina no Ginpei who is sitting nearby has been watching them closely." "Hey old man!" "Bring me some dishes kids would eat." "Servings for two, three people will do." "Ginpei is remembering his own childhood." "Just keep on bringing them!" "Hey boy!" "You boy, come over here." "You must be hungry." "I'll feed you good food." "Come here." "But Master will..." "Forget about your old fuddy-duddy." "Don't worry." "Come on." "Stop meddling!" "I'm disciplining him!" "I don't need a stranger intruding!" "Obviously he's not disciplined himself!" "Eat all you want." "Don't be shy." "Go ahead." "I'll pay for them." "Don't worry." "Eat this too." "Don't stick your nose in my business!" "Stay away!" "What the...!" "You leave him alone!" "A devil like you!" "You're the idiot here!" "Talk to me in money!" "Fine, I'll give you money!" "Far from enough!" "I've got permission from Sir Ushimatsu to work!" "You'll regret this!" "Whoever you are!" "Ushimatsu?" "This is the port of Shimoda." "He has no say here!" "Stop kidding with me!" "You'll pay for this later!" "You jerk!" "You shut up or I'll show you!" "Get out of my sight!" "Ginpei shoves the boy's master out of the store." "But what did he say about Ushimatsu?" "There's nothing to worry about." "Aren't you Ginpei?" "Glad to see you again!" "How've you been?" "It's been four years." "What's wrong?" "Things have changed around here, eh?" "Yes, and we all know why it has." "Ushimatsu took over the area." "It's so different from Sir Onabe's time..." "What about Gohei's Tea House?" "Unokichi married Oichi and were living happily." "But Ushimatsu is on their back." "Ushimatsu is?" "Creating them trouble every day." "Impeding their business." "Really?" "I had no idea that was happening." "Gohei's Tea House." "Gohei has retired and Unokichi and Oichi now run the place." "They work hard selling various goods, making enough for their living." "But Ushimatsu's gang brings them trouble every day." "I'm so glad you keep your prices reasonable." "Please make yourself comfortable." "More sake?" "Sure, gimme one." "Welcome." "This way please." "Welcome." "Thanks for coming." "Ushimatsu's four master swordsmen as well as" "Hotate no Ushimatsu himself appear today." "Still doing business?" "Yes, sir." "We'll show them then." "Dress the place up." "Yes, sir." "What're you guys doing here!" "The great Hotate no Ushimatsu is here!" "Get lost!" "Fools!" "Answer me!" "Come on!" "Answer me!" "Please don't...!" "You asked for this!" "Tear it down!" "I beg you!" "Please don't do anything violent!" "The brutes made quite a mess." "What the...!" "Uno, come here!" "I've cut my old ties!" "So please!" "Please just leave us alone!" "'"Old ties"!" "Huh!" "Now that he left his old life, Unokichi held in his anger." "You jerk!" "What the...!" "You get it now?" "We're showing you your place!" "Hey Uno!" "Take this!" "Please hold it!" "Father!" "Oichi!" "I beg you, Sir Ushimatsu!" "Please!" "What a disappointment." "Tsumegi no Unokichi from Onabe's gang?" "There." "Come on, fight back." "Dear!" "Unokichi!" "Not a gangster now, he won't fight back." "You're bullying a weak man..." "Please, leave us alone!" "I beg you!" "Gohei, I don't pick fights with the weak." "I do this because Uno's strong." "It's said that four years ago, he killed my best swordsman, Iwakado no Tajiro." "I'd say an eye for an eye, but out of mercy, I'm telling you to leave Shimoda." "We understand, sir." "We do, but..." "I don't want to!" "Of all things, leaving Shimoda!" "I've started anew..." "You fool!" "Please forgive us!" "Worked so hard running an honest business." "I don't want to leave Shimoda!" "You don't tell me stuff!" "I beg you!" "Please, leave us alone." "Shut up!" "If you're not leaving..." "No, we won't turn down your kindness!" "I promise!" "We'll leave Shimoda..." "Really?" "Are you sure, old-timer?" "Yes...tonight." "Fine, if you promise that you'll leave tonight," "I'll leave you guys alone for now." "Yes, Unokichi won't have a say in this." "We'll leave tonight, you have my word." "Alright." "I want your shop gone by tomorrow morning!" "That night ..." "Unoklchl is full of cuts and bruises from the attack." "He had fought back his anger and worked hard to lead an honest life in his hometown Shimoda." "But even Unokichi had to give in to this nightmare of continuing attacks from Ushimatsu." "Those bastards!" "Oichi..." "Father..." "Beaten up this bad, we've no other choice." "Let's talk with Uno." "Life is full of ups and downs." "Let us move to Inatori for the time being." "Hearing Gohei and Oichi's conversation..." "It must be hard for Uno, but you talk with him too." "Dear, are you alright?" "I'm sorry." "Sorry, Gohei." "Sorry for all the troubles this wimp brought you and Oichi." "It's alright, but I spoke with Oichi." "We shall move to Inatori." "I understand." "So you'll leave Shimoda?" "Dear..." "I know." "Let's leave Shimoda tomorrow morning." "Really?" "I'm glad to hear that." "I'm sorry." "I brought you so much trouble." "This spot here, it's getting worse." "That's no good." "You alright?" "Dear..." "It's getting hard to ignore." "Painkillers would help..." "The doctor just left..." "Well then, I'll go catch the doctor." "You will?" "I should catch up with him." "I'll get some painkillers." "Sorry." "I'm so sorry!" "It's nothing." "Don't worry about it." "I won't take long." "I'm real sorry..." "Please forgive me." "Look at this." "It's snowing outside." "No wonder it's cold." "Father, please wear this." "It's cold." "Thank you for going out so late." "Don't worry." "I'm fine." "Take good care of Uno." "I'll be back in no time." "Sorry." "And thank you." "You alright, dear?" "Aren't you in pain?" "Oichi, I can't stand it any longer!" "I lied to get Gohei leave the house." "Forgive me!" "What's this!" "Please let me be a man!" "Sorry!" "He ties up Oichi who tries to stop him ." "Please don't come after me." "Stay here!" "Dear!" "Dear, don't go!" "Unokichi makes a raid on Ushimatsu's place, ready to die ." "As for Koina no Ginpei..." "Are we there yet?" "It's somewhere around here." "End of the street soon." "Right..." "It's over here!" "It's been a while." "Yep, this is it." "This is Gohei's Tea House." "Come with me." "Yep, it's here." "Good evening." "I'm coming in." "Good evening." "What a mess." "Someone broke in?" "Son, it's cold outside." "Come inside." "It's not your home, so be a good boy." "Good evening." "Is Gohei home?" "There's a woman on the floor." "What?" "A woman?" "Oichi!" "Oops!" "Can't march in like this!" "You must take your sandals off!" "But you're wearing yours too!" "You're right." "Hurry, take them off." "Got that?" "Yeah." "I'll take my sandals off!" "What happened?" "What's this mess here?" "Oichi?" "Ginpei!" "Ginpei...!" "I can't understand you if you cry." "Where's Uno?" "Is he out?" "What happened?" "Tell me." "Uno went to Ushimatsu's, alone to raid the place!" "A what!" "Uno's making a raid?" "He..." "He's keeping his manly pride." "No, watch it!" "Hold on." "He can't die alone!" "I'II go too!" "Just stop right there!" "He cut ties with his old life and worked hard to lead an honest life." "Yet he went to keep his manly pride?" "Yes, so I...!" "Listen to me." "You're no gangsters." "Ordinary people shouldn't get involved." "That's what gangsters are for." "I pretty much get the picture from your story." "I'll go." "You will?" "Ginpei!" "I'm sorry." "But I won't go for Uno." "Oichi..." "It's you who I am going for." "Ginpei!" "Old man, there's nothing to worry about." "Where are you going?" "I'll be back in no time." "Be a good boy and wait for me, alright?" "Will you really come back?" "Yes, I will." "I'm sorry, Ginpei!" "Old man, Oichi, he's got no family." "Please look after him." "You wait here, alright?" "No!" "Don't leave me!" "I'll go with you!" "Take me with you!" "Don't be so difficult." "From today, you listen to them." "They'll take care of you and love you." "You got that?" "Aren't you a man?" "Okay." "Well then, I'm going!" "Leaving the boy behind, Ginpei runs off to" "Ushimatsu's place in the snow.!" "Ushimatsu's gang now rules the area of Shimoda." "They're done gambling for the night." "Gonna see a girl now?" "Going for today's buy?" "Yeah." "Buy me a drink before you go!" "You won tonight, right?" "Won big or lost big!" "Got lucky tonight." "Fine, a drink." "Come." "It's snowing."

"Just kill me!" "Don't ask, I will!" "Hold it there!" "So you're Hotate no Ushimatsu?" "Who're you!" "Ginpei!" "You!" "Sure, I'm Koina no Ginpei!" "What's this mess here?" "Huh!"

"Ginpei splatters blood over the snow-covered town of Shimoda." "He hasn't forgotten his tricksl" "Unokichi, go home now!" "Forgot about Oichi?" "You've Oichi and her old man!" "But I've got to take Ushimatsu!" "Leave that to me!" "You bastard!" "Unokichi!" "Go home!" "From soft to strong, various winds blow in people's lives." "You ought to go home and take care of your wife!" "Damn it!" "You've regained your manly pride now." "Ginpei!" "Now go!" "Hurry up!" "Just go!" "But I..." "Do as I say!" "I've given up my life!" "You fool!" "You've got Oichi to take care of!" "Ginpei!" "Got that?" "Then go!" "I'm sorry!" "FREEZE!" "Uno's there!" "Uno!" "My dear!" "Oh, Oichi!" "Unokichi, you're fine?" "I'm sorry!" "And Ginpei?" "Ginpei is fighting Ushimatsu's gang for me." "He told me to leave to see you." "I see..." "Sorry!" "What a mess!" "It's looking ugly!" "It's a big fight here!" "But the offender got caught." "Hold it there." "The offender got caught?" "The young guy who raided Ushimatsu's place got arrested just now and is being taken away." "What!" "Then Ginpei is...!" "Wait!" "Wait, dear!" "The real offender is me!" "Please wait!" "Unokichi runs after Ginpei, who is being taken away." "Ginpei has claimed that he killed Ushimatsu on his own." "Hey!" "Wait for me!" "Hey!" "Wait!" "Wait there!" "Please wait a second, sir!" "I'm the real offender!" "So please hold on!" "What're you saying, you fool!" "You going to take away my credit?" "Sir, there's no way a wimp like him could've killed Ushimatsu." "Come on, just take me away." "You just shut up and leave!" "No, that's not true!" "I'm the real killer!" "Sir, please take me away." "Quick!" "Alright then." "Take him." "Please wait!" "Please!" "I'm the killer..." "Don't turn down his kindness!" "Please." "Please wait!" "Ginpei is being taken away, taking on Unokichi's crime as his own." "Dear!" "Unokichi!" "Dear, Ginpei." "I had made up my mind, but Ginpei is a bigger man than me." "He left me with a great advice." "Sorry Ginpei..." "Ginpei, we owe you our lives." "Is he not returning anymore?" "Gone forever?" "Don't you worry about anything." "You have a new mother and a father now." "Yonomatsu, come to my place." "For his love's happiness, Koina no Ginpei takes all the blame out of love." "Ginpei now lies alone in the ice-cold cell." "Leave Shimoda in Izu in the morning, arrive in Toba Bay by night." "Row a lighter, roll the masts." "We long for Shimoda as we make for our destination." "Where is this song of Shimoda heard?" "In the dreams of Koina no Ginpei." "THE END"
