"Both of you are to blame." "but Katsu-noji is a rank amateur." "wasn't there?" "would you!" "? I thought you would have been the first to quit." "I decided I wasn't going to be like that." "What are we going to do about Katsu-noji?" "Katsushiro has to decide that for himself." "That's pretty cold." "Maybe I will have a cup." "Just apologize to Kanbe-sama." "I don't need to." "Katsushiro-sama!" "The embers of war are everywhere." "The work at Kanna Village is finished." "are you saying that you are setting out for another war?" "I am a samurai!" "Will you come with me?" "I don't need you to cleanse me anymore." "What is it?" "What do you see?" "Kyuzo?" "Yukino-san..." "Come on over here." "isn't it?" "Yes." "It reminds me of my mother." "You wanted to help him." "Isn't that what you were thinking?" "Everything was my fault." "That might be a little conceited of you." "Conceited?" "that's all. right?" "Yes." "Then there isn't anything for you to be fretting over." "You have to start living for yourself a little more." "But... you are stubborn." "right?" "You see?" "Your pendulum is telling the truth." "have to make their affections clear." "I know!" "Come with me." "I have a kimono I'd like you to put on." "Um... but..." "I'm sure it will look great on you." "too." "have you been listening?" "No." "Ready!" "Kyuzo!" "you!" "Wait!" "He's...!" "Kyuzo!" "Kikuchiyo has arrived!" "Huh?" "You're a pace behind." "You!" "Thanks for coming." "so I cut them down." "you're still concerned over Kanna Village!" "Don't get me wrong." "I'm just waiting for the job to be finished." "You're despicable." "Watch yourselves." "Ukyo put them up to this." "What have we here?" "If it isn't the guy from the rice warehouse." "reporting in." "I'll come right to the point." "Would you take everyone and go to the nearby villages for me?" "If that is what the Honorable Emperor commands." "we have already taken this year's tribute of rice from them without incident." "I know." "because I know the villages." "No doubt about it." "am aware of this fact. in order for them to live on?" "Who is your master now?" "Honorable Emperor." "And you guys are the samurai that serve me." "right?" "sir!" "Isn't that nice?" "Being able to boss the bandits around." "I'll never get tired of this." "Indeed." "There's one other thing I'd like to have done." "am I?" "You are correct to say so." "right?" "You always eat in such a unhurried fashion?" "it will be time for lunch before you finish breakfast." "you know." "You should do like the farmers do!" "Fool." "There is no higher decorum than my way of eating the next meal before growing hungry." "you bastard!" "I'm not letting you eat any more." "Kikuchiyo." "but..." "What does Ukyo have planned? was all to allow Ukyo to manipulate the whole land." "Manipulate? and will use every trick in the book. he has set about to dispose of those that are in his way." "Everything he said to you was probably a lie. if it allows him to get ahead." "It's one of the things that makes him so powerful." "Tsukumozaka Jurobei Mitsuharu!" "if it helps you to attain your goal." "That's what I taught Ukyo. and dispensing rice. is that what you're saying!" "?" "So there's still work to be done." "It would seem so." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "lift up your heads." "It is most gracious of the Honorable Emperor to personally come to such a place." "I won't have you disparaging yourselves like that." "I just saw some of the bandits that were burning." "Did you guys do that? we have banded together to drive off the bandits." "and can concentrate on just our fields." "We are most grateful." "huh?" "I think I can understand the kind of bitter experiences you farmers have gone through." "and yet the capital didn't even try to help you." "The violence caused by the bandits went on." "That's just awful." "I give you my apologies." "That's much more'n we deserve!" "We're the ones who should be bowing our heads!" "look up." "the capital and I will be protecting you all." "I'm sure we can change the world." "I want you to bear with me for a while longer." "Bearin' with it is what we always do." "Thank you." "This is the rice that we were able to keep safe from the bandits this year." "We want the Honorable Emperor to eat it." "Please accept it. but we'd be much obliged if the Honorable Emperor'd take it with him." "I'm really grateful." "He's a god incarnate! someone who is worthy of our loyalty has at last appeared." "I ain't so sure." "I doubt our lives'll be changin' all that much." "What? they still sprout." "We're the same way." "what we do ain't gonna change none. without us having to take it by force." "Wasn't that easy?" "do they?" "until my father took me in." "I faced many life-or-death situations. and watched from on high as I crawled my way up." "Please allow me to assure you that he watched over the development of his venerable reproductions." "It's all in how you say it." "if I may?" "Sure." "What is it?" "We have just received word that the elimination of Shimada Kanbe and Lord Ayamaro has met with failure." "got it." "Keep trying to take them." "As you wish." "Kanbe-sama..." "Is Sanae-dono ready to go?" "so they're managing." "I see." "I wonder if we ought to be taking her back to the village like this." "four... three) one) three) four..." "Kiku-noji!" "Look over there!" "It's a Yakan!" "Good morning!" "Well if it isn't Momotaro!" "You guys!" "Rikichi!" "Good morning!" "Yo!" "my!" "I'm back." "did you bring me any gifts?" "How rude of me!" "I completely forgot!" "by way of apology." "is your injury okay?" "Kikuchiyo-sama." "Look at this." "It's Gorobe-sama's katana." "We're all goin' to go rescue Sanae together..." "Sanae!" "Don't open it!" "Sanae!" "It's me!" "Rikichi!" "Sanae!" "Sanae!" "Rikichi-san." "I can't return to you as your wife anymore." "I'm still able to see you alive again." "That's enough." "Come home with me!" "I can't go!" "Come home." "I was unable to soothe the Honorable Emperor's fatigue." "I even killed his child." "You remember this?" "Put it on once again for me." "I can't." "I gave myself to the Honorable Emperor..." "I'm takin' you home with me!" "I know!" "We'll make a gravesite!" "We'll make a gravesite in the village." "A grave for the emperor and the child." "I'll even come pay respects with you." "So painful." "So truly painful." "I will never forget how surprised I was." "That's not like you." "I could not cut him down." "The light that Sanae had in her eyes was from the love she had for the emperor." "there was no longer anything I could do." "Just like a rookie." "your katana was everything." "There was nothing you could not cut down." "Here I've started reminiscing about the past." "I guess that proves that we're getting older." "I need to apologize to you." "right?" "Everything has been put back together." "Their mental state..." "will be coming along shortly." "Katsushiro was rash." "You fools!" "you know!" "Wait!" "Sensei is angry that we are here." "did you!" "?" "You always treat us like we're only half grown-up!" "Stop jerking us around already! you have no place subjecting us to this kind of treatment!" "right? isn't that right!" "?" "Why did you set out on your own!" "?" "Why did you not choose to die like a man once you were captured!" "?" "Living in dishonor is not the way of a samurai!" "Do not regard death as something so great!" "There is honor to be preserved in death!" "Are you saying that my corpse could save the others?" "even if I had to die doing it!" "Your death would be meaningless as you are now." "I am not afraid to die." "you're starting to worry me." "I understand now why you always lose your battles." "you do not place any trust in your friends!" "I chose the wrong master." "357)}"Preview" "247)}"Episode 23 The Lies" "bad news!" "Katsu-noji ran away! and it's like he won't even listen to or look at him." "too." "Katsu-noji is still a child. he still can't decide for himself what path he is going to take." "Papa Masamune says that Katsu-noji wants to be a samurai because he dreams too much about samurai. something attractive." "are you okay?" "too." "please do something about everyone." "you're the only one who can help Katsu-noji and Sister." "Momotaro-san has come here." "Has the village gotten back to normal?" "bye now!"
