"Master of Thunder Film Partners presents" "Santoku!" "Santoku!" "Autumn 1970 Year of the Dog" "Mio!" "Can you stand to live with the pain of losing a loved one?" "Do you want to save this girl?" "Let Mio go" "Is she Mio?" "She will die soon." "However, you can resurrect her with the forces of Hell." "Just break the Seal!" "Be quiet!" "The Master!" "Genryu, Santoku, have no doubt that someday I will..." "Mio..." "Mio..." "Mio." "Mio!" "36 years have passed by since then." "It's the Year of the Dog." "The Dog God is powerful, and vengeful spirits emerge." "And once in 12 years, the "Demon Seal Ritual"..." "Demon Seal Ritual" "The ritual to protect the Seal of the Five-Story Pagoda." "Isamu had been sent to make preparations..." "Wait!" "Ayumi Kinoshita" "Yuria Haga" "Takayuki Tsubaki" "Anna Nagata" "Ayaka Komatsu" "Baudouin Euloge Adogony Adogony Lolo" "Koji Hiranaka" "Yuki Matsumura" "Are you alright?" "Help!" "Yasuaki Kurata" "Action Choreography and Directed by Kenji Tanigaki" "LEGENDOFSEVENMONKS Ultimate Battle to Seal the Demon" ""Kikyo Temple"" "Master!" "It's an emergency!" "It's awful!" "Ambulance!" "It's been a long time, Santoku." "Ah, the barrier field." "Master, are you okay?" "What was that?" "Ono no Takamura." "A vengeful spirit from Hell." "In the Five-Story Pagoda, there is a gate connecting" "Ono no Takamura has been resurrected many times and has demon followers." "So the "Demon Seal Ritual"" "takes place every 12 years." "What if that "Seal Ritual"" "is not performed?" "The Seal will be broken." "What?" "In short, the gate to Hell will open," "vengeful spirits will overthrow us." "Disease, war, calamity, every misfortune will strike our world," "and the vengeful spirits will totally rule us." "Kaido, Shien, Takuseki," "Kuchin, Komyo, along with Genryu and myself, were known as the Seven Blue Dragon of Kikyo Temple." "Following our battle, all the others returned to worldly lives." "But we vowed to gather here again if the Seal is threatened." "So, you should assemble the Seven once again." "The Seven of you could take on the demon." "Impossible." "It's not impossible!" "You did vow to gather again to protect the Seal." "That's almost 40 years ago." "I've lost track of some, and the rest... are no longer among the living." "Oh, no..." "Isamu!" "Are you okay?" "Hang on!" "Santoku..." "It's fine." "In any case, they'll gather here for the "Demon Seal Ritual."" "And when they do, I'll..." "Isamu, I'm sorry." "I couldn't do anything." "Where are you going?" "Oh, just for a walk." "Will you leave the temple?" "Actually, I have an idea." "I'm going to go and look for the Seven." "Even if some have died, they have descendents." "Or disciples." "No good." "I have to at least give a try!" "Maybe nothing will result, but I can't stand doing nothing." "I feel like" "I can find them." "My hunches usually come true." "I don't think..." "No matter what" "I decided to go." "Wait, Ayumi." "Take this with you." "What is it?" "It'll protect you in places beyond my range of powers." "Really?" "Yes, really!" "Hey, the charm's effective for only three days!" "Okay!" "Shien and Komyo's house is located on the west of" "Asakusa Sensoji Temple." "Well, I'll start here." "Get out of my way!" "What's that?" "!" "That house..." "I'm leaving!" "And that one." "Exam Questions" "She's the grandchild of one of the Seven..." "Where will you go?" "Private tutorial school." "I can teach you." "Ouch!" "Hey, you!" "You bump me and keep going?" "!" "Hey, hey, hang on." "You!" "Hey!" "You..." "Ouch!" " You!" "Four-eyes monkey!" " Ouch!" "Four-eyes!" "Four-eyes!" "Brother!" "It's red." "Watch out!" "Worthless bunch!" "People like you really bother me!" "Let it go." "Are you okay, Mika?" "Ouch!" "You always bully weaklings!" "You will never make the grade!" "Big brother..." "Maybe it is them!" "It's good!" "Did you hear what I said?" "We're listening." "I need help of the power you have as grandchildren of the Seven." "Destroy evil spirits?" "Grandpa talked about that." "Impossible." "It's illogical." "But I really did see the Five-Story Pagoda demon." "Believe me!" "I can't believe it." "It's illogical." "I'll go along with it." "I'm free, sounds like fun." "Really?" "Don't drag me into this!" "Different from you, I'm very busy, training camp from preparation school starts today." "I'm not getting involved... with this!" "Don't say that, Mika!" "Here, for you." "I don't want it." "Here!" "It's your fault that I wasn't admitted to university!" "I already said I was sorry about that." "Relax!" "She had diarrhoea right on exam day last year." "Don't tell her." "She was going to be late, so I took her on my bike." " I went really fast, - when can we arrive?" " and we were almost there..." " 10 minutes left catch me tight!" "Bike in front, pull over!" "There's no time!" "Stop that!" "It's too late." "With my grades I was sure to pass, it was just a formality." "Why do I have to wait a year?" "I was charged with speeding and not wearing a helmet!" "You'll pass, so you don't have to spend so much time studying." "Just help us, as an act of mercy." "It's not that at all!" "Universities expect you to do these things." "It's not just about study, you know..." "Right!" "Helping out locally, social service, humanitarian things." "Volunteer" "Destroying evil spirits is like volunteering." "It will really impress them." "Welcome." "Is this social service?" "!" "Sure, it's studying society." "Can that Master's grandchild be here?" "If you have no money, leave!" "Maybe I'll try my luck." "Old man, how about a game?" "What do you mean by old man, lady?" "Do you gamble?" "Let's try." "How about 1,000 yen?" "1,000 yen?" "I guess so." "Just one game." "Look!" "I won!" " I won!" " Just luck!" "Once more!" "Amazing!" "Don't underestimate an African!" "Way to go!" "I'm finished." "I'm sorry, give me a break!" "148,000 yen!" "Unbelievable!" "We'll use it to party!" " First, the game center." " Anna, you're cheap." "That was amazing, you're a gambling genius!" "I've always been able to read my opponent's hand." "Is that true?" "Yeah, somehow." "Can you predict exam questions?" "Probably, if I try." "Show me how you do it!" "I'll join you... to seal the demon." "Hey, why did we go to that place?" "I forgot!" "Did you predict this?" "No, it's only when I concentrate." "What the hell you think?" "To get all my money and... not give me any to return my home" "Please, give it back!" "But we won it." "We won, and that's it." "Sorry, we're busy and have to leave now." "Don't make fun of me!" "Don't run!" "Hey, calm down." "He's stuck, let's kick it!" "Alright." "Let's just go." "I'll sue you!" "You recognize these people?" "I don't know them." "Wait, that's my Master..." "He taught me martial arts in Africa." "He invited me to Japan to train under him." "But he looks too young here, he's dead already." "This picture is 40 years old." "Here." "That's my Master!" "I wonder, Mio, if it was a good idea to involve her." "What do you think?" "It'll be soon." "Soon this world will be mine." "Wakaba-Do Sports Shop" "Takuseki owns a sports shop." "We'll follow anyone that comes out." "Leave it to us." "I think the owner of Wakaba-Do Sports was an Olympic gymnast." "Really!" "Must be athletic..." "He must be the one." "Good, let's follow." "I understand." "Here, thanks." "Japanese, but you don't even have a cell phone?" "Over there is a sports shop." "And that's a regular house." "You're sure we can make big money destroying demons?" "No problem, the Five-Story Pagoda contains a stash of treasure." "You'll pay off your debt and build a mansion in Africa." "Wow!" "A house and 'gardenia.'" "He come out." "Apollo, let's follow." "That old man..." "The way he moves is odd." "Maybe some kind of training." "What are you talking?" "Hey, he's saying something." ""Got time?"" ""You're really cute!"" "Picking up girls?" "!" "I can't believe it." "Idiot!" "But he's amazing." "Look!" "He only talks to cute girls." "And while riding along!" "Amazing?" "Honey" "Here she comes!" "Let's go, Apollo." "Welcome back, my dear Sir!" "My dear Sir, please seat down here." "The girl we followed works at "maid cafe."" "It's getting kind of bizarre." "What?" "You're close to here?" "The cafe is called Pastel Sky." "It's famous in Akihabara." "I understand, we'll wait." "What'll we do?" "We've set up something." "It should work." "Here he comes." "I'll call later." "Let's go, Mika." "Hey, face this way." "What's this?" "!" "You're cute!" "You're student?" " High school student?" " My glasses." "Unbelievable" "I'm lucky to meet such a cute girl!" " I just..." " I'm Toru." "How about..." "Are you busy?" "I can't see..." "Did you lose your contact lens?" "I'll go with you to buy one," " it's safer." " No, really, I..." "It's not that kind of place." "Touching is not allowed." "Please forgive him, it won't happen again." "Apollo, you must apologize." "I'm sorry." "Welcome back, my dear Sir!" "You wanted to see one of these places." "It's strange." "Yeah, to study society..." "Oh, sorry." "Hey, you!" "That's my toy!" "Wait, wait!" "What's going on?" "!" "I'll show you!" "Your ego fans the flames of war!" "What are you saying?" "It's getting interesting!" "Clear the way!" "I'll preserve peace in Akihabara!" "You'll be punished if you're bad!" "What a cute girl!" "What's your name?" "You sure are cute!" "My name is Toru..." "Take your dirty hands off Kaori!" "Is your name Kaori?" "What a switch!" " I said don't touch!" " Shut up, you geek!" "Excuse me" "There is someone else you must deal with." "Destroy evil spirits?" "!" "Yes." "Punish evil spirits." "Sounds good..." "Kaori!" "Will you join us?" "Of course I'll help." "I never turn down girls." "Great!" "Well, if you don't mind..." "I'd also like to join this Demon Seal Team." "Huh?" "What's with you?" "Actually," "Kosuke is my cousin, so he shares the bloodline of my grandfather." "So, can I join?" "Let's try our best!" "It seems as if..." "We are now seven!" ""Kikyo Temple"" "Now you know..." "He's serious about this." "Why all this training?" "!" "Twenty hours a day for one month is impossible!" "If I get injured, I'll miss the exam." "There's no treasure in this run-down temple!" "Wait, don't leave me." "I've had enough." "Shall we go after them?" "No, I think they'll come back." "What's this?" "!" "Glass?" "Maybe the barrier field." "Enough of this!" "We'll smash through!" "I don't get it." "In the end," "I guess you tricked us." "Tricked us into coming here, no cell phones, held prisoner, it's like we were abducted." "There's no treasure here." "You're a liar." "Don't say that." "Don't start complaining, we have no choice now." "We do so!" "Anna, how about you?" "When I start something," "I always finish it." "That's dumb." "So why did you all go to the trouble of coming here?" "You had nothing... better to do." "I guess so..." "Role dressing, anime, girls, study, gambling, are those things life or death?" "Are you really trying?" "Trying hard to do things?" "Don't exaggerate." "Excuse me..." "I was glad to be included in the group of seven." "I don't really open up to people, but it's easy to talk with all of you, like we have something in common." "What do I have in common with you?" "!" "Like we're apart from the world?" "Or out of touch with people?" "Let's be strong and do it together." "Mio, she brought them here." "She gathered them." "We'll have to give it a try." "Right, Mio?" "Nothing..." "Answer me sometimes." "First, basic strength training." "Yes." "There's little time." "Be diligent." "Yes!" "One, two, okay, begin." "One, two, One, two" "Apollo, come here." "Oh, are you sure?" "!" "I won't hold back!" "Amazing." "Passive defeats aggressive." "Mika, what comes next?" "Is there more?" "!" "The next part is," ""Aggressive defeats passive."" "Is this on the exam?" "It's not just passive or aggressive." "Combining both is ideal." "But with you seven, we'll combine all of you... and try to find a balance." "Evil spirits attack the throat." "You must never expose your throat." "One, two," " oh!" " One, two..." "Like this..." "Try doing it without looking." "Wait, Toru." "Wait up!" "Stop it!" "I thought Santoku was your grandfather." "No way." "My parents died when I was small." "I wasn't told about my grandfather." "You don't hesitate to say serious things!" "You're not his grandchild, he didn't have to accept you," "but still you're part of this mysterious group." "It seems that Santoku really feels he can trust you." "Let's go to sleep, we need it for training." "That's true." "I'm tired!" "You're good." "It really sticks!" "Master, let me break roof tiles." "Let's give it a try." "Roof tiles are for the roof, not for breaking." "Your fists weren't made for that." "That's no fun." "Hurting people isn't the purpose for your training." "It is to protect people." "Bullied again, Santoku?" "Force without justice is violence." "Justice without force is futile." "The Master said." "Here." "Thank you." "It's nothing." "Are you used to temple life?" "I wonder..." "I hope you and your brother get along better..." "Blood..." "I'll be okay." "...be okay..." "Master!" "Master!" "What's with the smile?" "Be quiet!" "Resume the training!" "Training!" "There's no time to sit around!" "What do you think, Mio?" "Is their training going well?" "What's going on?" "Who can it be?" "Who's Mio?" "She was Master Santoku's wife." "She died while young." "What?" "Because they have a good teacher?" "What are you saying?" "!" "You're flattering me!" "She's beautiful." "I'd like to see." "Be careful..." "Now extend your elbow." "Is that okay?" "Try again." "It seems you like Isamu?" "No way." "What nonsense!" "I knew it!" "No, I don't!" "Alright, alright." "I suppose he's a popular kind of guy." "I'm not attracted to him, he seems to lack compassion." "Isamu has compassion." "He's really kind." "It's not like that." "But I am a bit confused." "Love is like that." "That's not it." "You know, you all have special strength." "Apollo is strong," "Mika is smart," "You have fighting skills." "I have lots of fighting experience." "But I realized that I have nothing special." "Everything is incomplete about me." "I have no special ability." "But you have good balance." "What's this?" "!" "I thought so." "You see, your special skill" "is anticipation." "You anticipated your opponent's hand in gambling." "And you sensed my hand now." "So, what's this?" "Can't you see inside?" "They're back!" "How did it go?" "What's that all about?" "Amazing!" "What a great find!" "Page 189." ""How To Cancel A Barrier."" "We actually did it!" "Buddhism is great!" "Good job!" "But... just wait" "Let me read it first." "You can't read Japanese." "I can look at the photos." "Give it to me." "It's urgent!" "Isn't it better if we just get going?" "The barrier is gone." "You're a genius!" "Right!" "Let's go, let's go!" "Where have you been?" "What's this?" ""Elite Co-ed" "Bares All!"" ""H-Cup and H-O-T:" "Photos!"" "Amazing!" "Anne Kusunoki Suicide!" "Anne suicide?" "!" "Please, give it back to me." "No." " It's confiscated!" " It's painful..." "I'll give you life, you will be my child." "You will do what I say." "Understood?" "I have power over human life and death." "But that is not enough!" "I want more power..." "Genryu..." "You..." "Ayumi!" "Ayumi!" "What is it?" "!" "What was that?" "!" "That's Ono no Takamura." "He may break the Seal... and harm us." "He's in control." "An actual evil spirit!" "'Live-action version'... real!" "Ayumi, are you okay?" "Toru, what'll we do?" "What does it say?" "Ono no Takamura." "Heian era aristocrat..." "A descendant of Ono no Imoko?" "I've got a headache, it's like my brain hurts." "This history stuff is too much for me." "What kind of life did he have?" "By day a court official, at night he aided Enma." "Huh?" "With Enma?" "The one who pulled out tongues of liars?" "It was Enma who judged who would be sent to Hell." "Takamura worked as his counselor." "That's impossible!" "That's what it says." "Takamura fell in love with someone, but it was his own sister." "A forbidden love affair." "Being forbidden just makes it sweeter." "I know how it feels." "Before, I..." "Read more." "Their relationship ended, and she died soon after." ""River Styx, swollen with tears,"" ""Carry her here,"" " "again to me."" " What's that?" "It was what Takamura chanted after her death." "My tears will fall like rain, and flow to the River Styx." "The Styx, border between life and death, will swell." "Then my sister can ferry across it to return." "Takamura begged the afterlife judge to return her to life, but Enma refused." "He began to hate Enma, and staged a coup... coup..." "Coup d'etat?" "Right, a coup d'etat." "He has come back as an evil spirit to break the Seal," ""so he can control both worlds..."" "and decide which humans will live or die." "Maybe it is just about getting back his sister." "He's so selfish!" "He didn't find love in either world." "And now both worlds have rejected him." "He must be lonely..." "Apollo, did you understand?" "Of course, just speak Japanese normally." "Really?" "There is someone else, one other man who knows of the Demon Seal." "That girl... might prove useful." "Master, where are we going?" "You'll see." "Master Genryu..." "Introduce yourself." "Well..." "I am Ayumi." "Master Genryu, because of Ayumi's efforts, seven young people have commenced strict training." "They will fight to protect the Seal," "as we once did." "Master Genryu, once again..." "Santoku, I've said many times already... that I rejected this world." "There's nothing more to say," "except... do not let them be harmed." "They can't beat Takamura." "Excuse my arrogance, but we do not take this lightly." "Even if Takamura..." "Master Genryu, don't you think Ayumi" "looks like Mio in some way?" "Takamura!" "It can't be!" "You were sent back to Hell." "You can't get rid of me so easily." "I have unfinished business in this world." "Now, the "Demon Seal Ritual"" "is known by only you two." "If I kill you, the Seal of the gate between our worlds can be broken." "Mio!" "Can you stand to live with the pain of losing a loved one?" "Mio!" "Must you leave the temple?" "Yes." "Please continue our sect, and become a splendid abbot." "Protecting the Seal is too great a burden for one." "Please console the spirit of Mio." "I'm sorry." "Forgive my weakness." "Mio was taken to the otherworld." "It is not your fault, it is mine." "My unnatural attachment called forth Takamura, who suffers the same pain." "Is that your love for Mio..." "Good-bye, Santoku." "Is there no other way?" "Must those young people fight?" "Only one or two months training..." "You know Takamura's strength more than anyone." "I realize they need more training." "However, I sense the seven have extraordinary strength." "It's not just Ayumi, but all of them" "seem strong." "Santoku, are they really a match for him?" "I do not know." "However, I'm willing to risk it." "That is my opinion." "They must not be sacrificed..." "That is why I am here." "Genryu, please give me... give them your strength." "If we combine their strength with yours and mine, perhaps we can defeat Takamura and protect the Seal." "But what can I do now?" "Master Genryu!" "Forgive me, Santoku." "But battling evil spirits... is something I can no longer do." "I understand." "Excuse my intrusion." "If something happens to me..." "Genryu, please look after them." "Regardless, he is a good person." "In what way?" "Take this." "I don't need it." "Go ahead, take it." "Your grandfather carved it." "Shall we go?" "Hey!" "Welcome back!" "Dinner is ready." "I ate it all, though!" "Watch it!" "Even though it may be foolish," "I, too, will fight alongside these seven." "Master!" "Master!" "Master!" "Ayumi, Ono no Takamura awaits you." "After training so hard..." "Stupid, it's not over yet." "That was a surprise attack." "Forgive me, all of you." "There's no need to apologize, it wasn't only you." "Right." "It wasn't my fault." "Was it yours?" "It's disappointing to come so far and just give up." "But only Master could do the "Demon Seal."" "We have these." "Master..." "He made us his true disciples." "Seven days..." "When someone dies, their spirit lingers for seven days." "So, if we can rescue Master within seven days..." "Can Master be rescued?" "If we desperately train, we can become even stronger." "'Upgrade,' ourselves, right?" "Let's train and rescue Master!" "He can do the "Demon Stop."" "Demon Seal." "Let's do it!" "Wisdom as the base." "With tomato paste?" "!" "A Buddhist saying, wisdom is the key to training." "Wisdom?" "Three minds have the wisdom of Buddha." "There are seven of us!" "We can do anything!" "We'll share our ideas and collaborate!" "Great!" "Now let's make it happen!" "Yes!" "Anna... everyone." "What's wrong?" "Last time we came here that muscular creature appeared." "There's no one here." "I guess we're invited in." "They scorn us." "I don't like that." "Let's go." "Yes!" "What's going on?" "There's no sign of people." "What?" "!" "Children!" "Who are they?" "You little!" "You guys go upstairs." "Are you sure?" "This will be easy." "What are you doing?" "Go upstairs!" "There are no stairs." "What?" "!" "It's here!" "Wait, Ayumi!" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Where is here?" "Kosuke!" "Ayumi, you go first." "I will take your life even if you defeat me." "I will take your life!" "Don't touch me!" "It's Anne Kusunoki!" "Who is that?" "I should have brought my camera." "She committed suicide..." "Welcome to Anne-Anne's circus." "And here are today's guests." "The Hindu sisters who died just last week." "What are those signs?" "We studied that, it's to ward off evil spirits." "Well, everybody, enjoy the show." "She took off the signs!" "What's that mean?" "It means... run for it!" "It's him again!" "Where is our Master?" "Sorry, Kosuke." "It's my last measure." "Did we train for this?" "!" "I don't think so!" "Mika!" "Wait a minute!" "It's ready!" "Kosuke!" "Hey, where is Anne?" " Let's go!" " Hey, where is Anne?" "Meathead!" "Don't look down on us!" "Ayumi, go quickly!" "I've never been defeated in a one on one brawl." "Get going, quickly!" "Why you!" "Beast!" "Master!" "Genryu, I've been waiting!" "Takamura..." "Isamu..." "Isamu!" "Isamu!" ""River Styx, swollen with tears,"" ""Carry her here,"" ""again to me."" "Get out of my way!" "The poem you wrote for your sister." "You wished that your loved one could be returned to you." "That your dead sister could be resurrected, nothing more?" "Stop!" "You'll stab me with that?" "If you do, Santoku will die." "Even so, you'll stab me?" "Ayumi... stab him!" "Stab Santoku!" "But..." "Quickly!" "Relieve Santoku of his suffering!" "Ayumi, stab, go ahead and stab him!" "Just stab him!" "Ayumi!" "Release me!" "Even in death, no forgiveness, a love so intense it seems to tear you apart." "You also know this feeling." "Release me!" "No." "I will not release you." "Your way of loving is wrong." "I will take you with me..." "to Eternal Peace!" "Grandfather..." ""The Demon Seal Ritual."" "Genryu gave his life to save the soul of Takamura." "It can't be..." "What about Grandfather?" "Humans live their short lives in suffering, while battling age and disease, try to find meaning of life." "If we continue to strive in a positive way," "Genryu will feel the happiness." "Master..." ""River Styx, swollen with tears,"" ""Carry her here,"" ""again to me."" "What about Isamu?" "He is fine." "What a fine day!" "It's hard to believe what we encountered at the Pagoda." "This past month seems like a dream." "A nightmare." "I didn't study for my exam." "I'm sure I've lost my job." "I didn't find treasure." "Sorry, everybody!" "The ultimate waste of time!"
