"We'II stick to drinks then" "So it's you" "You laugh at me." "Don't you?" "I'm not that heartless." "I know you." "Worse than that" "I didn't even touch you." "It was your vanity" "Had I not loved him, you'd have..." "probably." "Come here and pour us drinks" "She cares for Musashi" "Unrequited love." "See her now!" "Stop!"

"So..." "You forgive me?" "I won't leave you again!" "That's the hut we built" "We three live in it" "And we have tilled those patches of land" "It was barren." "But it is yielding crops lately thanks to our labor" "In the old days I hated farm work" "And was daydreaming always" "Wanting to become famous and successful" "VainIy and at random" "Now I'm tiIIing again."

"He's still angry about me." "What happened?" "Listen, Jotaro." "Master Jotaro" "Yes, sir." "I don't understand him at all" "Me, neither." "He's carving again" "He told me he'd done something bad to her" "Can't be true!" "If so, why would she come here?" "Yes" "Who goes there?" "I hate to leave this village." "I'II stick to it... even if I may be killed on that account" "please, sir, teach us how to fight" "We must fight the brigands away from here!" "please, Master!" "It's no use teaching you how to fight" "If you must learn to run" "Away from them, sir?" "And laugh last" "You're going there by yourself?" "Yes." "I have come alone so far" "It's dangerous from here" "The way to the next village is infested with bandits" "I've known bandits since I was a baby" "My father was a brigand, too" "Isn't my lunch ready yet?" "It is" "Better disguise yourself as a man" "They'II stop any girl" "Men have made a plaything of me." "I don't mind anything now" "If I can see him, I'II die content" "One moment." "Men come here regularly to buy oil and salt" "Wait till then and go with them." "A good idea" "That may be them" "Give us drinks!" "It's bad since those samurai came" "I hear they're teaching them fencing." "Who are they?" "We've got to destroy them, anyway" "This is too small." "Bring bigger bowls!" "Keeper, that your daughter?" "Hey, girlie!" "Come here!" "Why - you're Akemi!" "You're Toji!" "Yes, I am" "Know her?" "She's Oko's daughter." "What happened to my mother?" "Where is she?" "I killed her" "You were there when she was killed!" "You surrendered to save your skin!" "Shut up!" "I avenged my brother's death." "Avenged?" "Your mother had killed him." "I'm Kohei" "But you two had killed my father!" "You'II be with him" "That's the village" "tell them the brigands were all arrested by the officials" "Understand?" "And set Musashi's hut on fire tomorrow evening" "We'II attack then." "Right?" "I can't." "Never!" "No!" "Don't be a fool!" "Musashi is his enemy." "also mine" "He spared you." "You must do it" "If you won't..." "I'II have to kill you" "Don't." "You're still sick" "But I can't stay idle here." "Stop!" "tell me." "tell me what to do now" "Must I leave?" "well, no" "tell me then." "Why do you evade me?" "You dislike me?" "Hate me?" "Have I been erased from your heart?" "please!" "You're heartless!" "Stony-hearted!" "I hate such a man!" "But..." "I can't live!" "I wish I were dead!" "Don't be stupid" "I am stupid!" "Watch what a stupid girl does!" "What are you doing?" "So." "She's here" "This is because of her." "That dame!" "I'm sorry." "old Gen can accommodate another person" "Otsu won't like it." "Neither will Akemi" "I think I'II go ask Aunt Oseki" "I'II do that for you." "Me, too" "At last we're alone" "Why don't you Iike it?" "You have changed, Akemi" "But I Iike your tone." "I'm so glad" "darling!" "I have loved you since we lived in the hills" "I really cared for you." "You don't mean that" "But I mean it." "I tried to tell you when you were trapped last time" "I didn't understand you" "darling... eIope with me" "Won't you?" "Stop it" "Oko, your mother, asked me to do that once" "Her blood is in your veins" "No." "I'm different." "I'm not Iike her at all" "I never loved men till I met you" "I've never loved anybody but you, darling" "That's why I came here" "I'm sorry" "It's not your fault" "You have Otsu." "I shouldn't be unreasonable" "I will leave in the morning" "Be happy with her." "Good luck" "darling." "It's hard!" "But I give you up!" "I promise" "So hold me tightly before I go!" "Choke me to death!" "In your arms!" "As your last favor!" "Men!" "I heard on my way here... that all the brigands were arrested." "really?" "The whole town's talking." "If they're arrested, we are safe" "Akemi said that?" "Serves 'em right." "Now we're saved" "Akemi, are you sure about the brigands?" "Akemi!" "Is it true?" "You wouldn't believe me" "I'II stay here awhile." "I Iike it here" "Master, did you hear it?" "Very good news, eh?" "Did you hear?" "Yes, I did." "Let's stop work and celebrate!" "She'II signal to us with a fire." "Set houses afire!" "You kill the villagers" "Don't take on Musashi." "I'II handle him" "Come with me." "We'II talk alone" "Where's Otsu?" "She's at my home." "She'II play the flute" "I'II fetch her" "Otsu." "You know how a girl feels" "I'm in love with him." "Akemi" "You are a terrible girl" "Why must you come between us two?" "Take it up" "If you want him..." "fight!" "How horrible!" "Take it up" "help!" "Somebody!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Brigands!" "Brigands!" "calm down!" "Quiet!" "Take women and kids to old Gen's." "Musashi!" "Come out!" "Fight with me!" "Musashi, I'm here to avenge my brother's death!" "Brace up, Kuma!" "Jotaro... you're... truly my senior" "Akemi!" "well done!" "What are you doing?" "Akemi!" "Brace up!" "Otsu." "I'm dying now" "I've been so wicked." "Oh, no!" "You saved my Iife!" "Don't die!" "Akemi!" "darling!" "At last... you hold me... in your arms." "Brace up, Akemi!" "It's all over with me" "I can't even..." "see you" "Be happy together, you two" "Musashi!" "Where is Master Musashi?" "I have been officially employed as Lord Hosokawa's teacher... and will leave for Kokura, his castle Town" "I am desirous to have the match at Kokura, april next."

"But I am his childhood friend" "An intimate friend" "I was with him at the fencing school" "He'II remember my name without fail" "They ignored me while I was jobless" "But today even strangers want to see me" "Such is life." "But it's something for rejoicing" "Your prowess will be acknowledged, definitely" "After the match, another big event" "My daughter is impatient" "please, Otsu!" "Let me find my Master" "please." "Why have I come all this way?" "In this match he might meet the worst" "If so, I'II gather his remains" "So I must see him." "I must speak to him!" "From Musashi, sir?" ""I will arrive in my own boat in time"" ""I hope this is satisfactory"" "I see." "He didn't come here out of respect" "He'II go directly to the isle" "But where is he?" "Brace up, Otsu" "What happened?" "She's sick" "Omitsu" "You look pensive" "Think I'II lose?" "Oh, no" "You may not expect it but you're afraid" "I'II win." "To defeat him has been my ambition" "I'II defeat him with my own ability" "Prayers of those who wish me victory and talismans... are useless to me" "Therefore don't pray for me, dear" "Sympathy harms my mental tranquility" "I want to fight alone" "Return to the castle" "Now I feel relieved" "Hey, Sasuke." "Is it ready?" "Sure" "It's an honor for a boatman to row for Master Musashi" "The boat's been purified" "Thank you for the kind gift I wear now" "I feel so refreshed." "Good luck, sir" "One moment." "I want you to see someone before you leave." "Me?" "Don't bother to get up" "Otsu!" "I can't see him like this" "Master!" "Don't come in!" "I'm coming!" "Otsu." "At last we meet again" "You look weak." "Very ill?" "I'm cured now" "My illness is so whimsical, you know" "Let's take a walk, shall we, Otsu?" "This is the first time you ever asked me" "Let's." "Of course" "until today I've walked my own way... and made you suffer a Iot" "Forgive me." "But I'm not as heartless as I may seem" "I know." "You do?" "That's why I've loved you" "darling!" "What a lucky day it is today!" "I can fight with clear conscience now" "Why do you cry?" "I hate it" "I wish you weren't a samurai!" "darling, abandon your sword." "Don't fight!" "Let them call you a coward!" "I crave for happiness, just us two!" "That's impossible now, Otsu" "please!" "I won't let you go!" "Oh no!" "Don't be unreasonable" "I'm a woman" "I wish you had been an ordinary man" "Otsu, don't demoraIize me, please" "A samurai's wife sends off her man with a smile" "especially when it might be for good" "Is that the island?" "No, sir, that's not it" "Our island lies beyond that." "A smaller one" "Is this where a sea-battIe was fought in olden times?" "What is that for, sir?" "For the duel" "Fight with a wooden one?" "I Iike the size" "Listen." "If I lose and fall... take my dead body back... to Otsu" "Dear God!" "Don't talk rot!" "Take this as my memento" "Musashi's boat is sighted!" "Musashi is coming!" "Musashi has come!" "Don't be nervous" "You'II see the mysterious power of my sword" "Watch me" "Musashi!" "Mr. Miyamoto."
