"Yes?" "The ducks are growing in number." "Yeah." "How can you waste time staring at ducks all day?" "Well, I'm starting to feel close to them, seeing their faces every day." "Oh sir, you're such a strange one!" "I don't see you looking for students for the dojo!" "It's such a waste he won't use his skills." "You guys say the same thing every day." "Master!" "Sanji!" "I don't have as many eggs today." "Master, you don't have to wait here, gathering eggs all day!" "But this is our business now." "Why don't you visit Ms Chiyoharu today?" "Did she say anything about me?" "Oh, come on!" "You're driving me crazy!" "Please, go see her!" "Are you all right?" "What's going on?" "Hey!" "You ruined my eggs!" "What are you going to do about this?" "I'm sorry." "Hey wait!" "This is Fukagawa!" "You can't just say "sorry" and walk away!" "How rude!" "I won't forgive you!" "Did you hear that, everybody?" "He said he wants to kill me!" "How interesting!" "Show us what you're made of!" "Our story begins in Fukagawa, an angry pretty boy has a match with Sanji." "That's a good story for a play." "That's right!" "Do you know who this is, you idiot?" "This is the daughter of a Hatamoto retainer!" "Oh, that's a girl!" "Let's see if she can beat me." "Let's try it!" "Get out of my way!" "Excuse me, Miss." "It's no wonder they're all mad at you." "Step down from your horse and apologize again." "How dare you speak to me like that!" "Enough." "A woman should know her place." "Besides, you shouldn't dress like that riding a horse." "See, that face you made isn't pretty!" "Sanji, I don't think she's going to apologize." "What should we do?" "I'll leave it to you, sir." "Please take care of her!" "Now, don't talk like a thug." "Fine, I'll let you go today." "This is no place for you, just go home." "THE BISHU CLAN'S EDO MANSION" "Sir Iyo, is everything ready for the arranged marriage?" "Everything's ready, sir." "I've heard that Lord Gennosuke is a rising star in the Shogun's clan." "He's a very bright fine young man, sir." "Is it be perhaps possible for me to meet Lord Gennosuke today?" "Are you curious?" "Yes, of course, he will be our master one day." "I understand." "Shibata, please take him there." "Yes, sir!" "Where are you taking me?" "You'll be surprised." "Please come with me, sir." "Father, is it all right to introduce him to Lord Gennosuke?" "That's fine." " But..." "He doesn't know the truth." "Don't worry, Yaheita." "Sooner or later, he'll find out." "I see, you'll use the fake lord to fool him." "Do you think he'll figure out our plan?" "Of course not." "The Shogun's family urges us to hold the meeting tomorrow." "It doesn't matter what the old man says at this point." "Here you go." "Be careful, it's hot." "Let me do it." "I don't get it." "He's the second oldest son of the Shogun?" "That's right." "He likes to come here." "Why would a high-class man like him hang around here every night." "It's hard to understand what a Samurai is thinking." "PINE AND CRANE" "I can't believe my eyes!" "I don't care if he is from the Shogun's family!" "I can't let our princess marry him." "I'm leaving now!" "Hey, where's Mate?" "I don't see her." "Young Lord!" "I think you're really looking for her younger sister, Suzue." "That's nonsense!" "I'm not the least bit interested in Suzue!" "That's fine with me." "I was just concerned how Suzue must feel, since you changed your plans... and came here instead of going riding with her." "Do you think she's upset?" "Perhaps you are concerned about her feelings." "No, not at all!" "I don't care!" "So you all knew about it." "That's true." "Then how could you carry on with the marriage plans?" "This is all for the sake of the Bishu family." "For the Bishu family?" "You must know that the Lord of Bishu is getting weaker now." "It's easy to see how important it is to find the right husband for Princess Yoshi... so that her father can retire." "But..." "What's most important is that... the new Lord is a cherished son of the Shogun's family." "Once he's one of us, the Bishu family could live happily forever." "Since you have strong feelings about the arranged marriage..." "I can postpone the meeting." "But you'll need to talk to the Shogun's family." "Me?" "That may be a problem..." "Eggs!" "I'm selling huge eggs!" "Damn it!" "No one's buying them." "Hey Sanji!" "Let me have one." "Just one?" "Why don't you buy ten?" "No way!" "If I eat that many, I'll get a bloody nose and..." "What if his wife gives birth to a duck?" "That won't be pretty!" "What's that?" "That's the Tsubanari group!" "They're a scary bunch, aren't they!" "What?" "Is it true Suzue was humiliated by a Ronin?" "Do you know who?" "Yes, sir." "His name's Fuwa Mondo." "He lives in this town." "Insulting Suzue insults the Tsubanari group." "I won't ignore this." "Where does this Ronin live?" "What's going on?" "I found you!" "Oh, it's you Chiyoharu." "You're right on time." "Why don't you join me?" "You know this afternoon's incident is a big deal now?" "Really?" "You need to be careful." "That girl is very close to the young lord." "You don't want to make trouble with him." "Oh, that's scary." "Anyway, help yourself." "Oh, please." "I ducked out of work to find you, because I'm worried about you." "Where are you going?" "To get more Sake!" "Master!" "You're in trouble!" "Master!" "What's up, Sanji?" "Trouble!" "They're coming here for revenge!" "Oh, no!" "Is Mondo here?" "!" "Is Mondo here?" "Stop right there!" "I know it's a small dojo but it's still my castle." "What kind of Samurai are you?" "Entering my dojo with your sandals on!" "Leave now!" "How dare you speak to us like that?" "You're just a low-class Ronin!" "It's my job to warn anyone disturbing the peace in this town." "What?" "How dare you stand against the Tsubanari group!" "I will show you!" "Wait!" "Are you Fuwa Mondo?" "I'll take care of you." "Oh, Tokugawa Gennosuke will fight me." "You know you started this mess." "I guess it's not a pretty story." "Don't be ridiculous!" "Fight me!" "If you won't change your mind, I'll fight with all my strength." "I don't care if you're a son of the Shogun's clan." "Please, wait a moment!" "You're Chiyoharu." "What do you want?" "Would you please stop fighting for my sake?" "It's none of your business." "You're just a geisha!" "He won't listen." "Move back Chiyoharu, so you won't be hurt." "No I won't move!" "I won't let you two fight!" "Move, or I will kill you." "I won't, even you try to kill me." "So please hold back your sword, my Lord." "Mondo..." "I will postpone this fight for Chiyoharu's sake." "But I won't forget this." "Everybody, let's go." "Are you okay?" "You've got guts!" "Chiyoharu..." "He's something." "Very strong." "I think he's more than just the leader of the Tsubanari group." "We must have bad luck, to keep running into the Tsubanari group." "I know." "You said you wouldn't move, even if it meant death." "Were you serious?" "Of course I was." "I'd rather be dead than see you get killed." "I hear Lord Gennosuke is having a meeting... to plan a marriage with Yoshi, Princess of Bishu." "How pitiful they are." "Are they?" "I told you last night Lord Gennosuke and the girl are in love." "But a son of the Shogun and a girl from a 500 koku Samurai family... can never find happiness together." "Why not?" "Don't you know anything?" "You see, the lovers can't marry because of their family status." "Hey, Chiyoharu you forgot to bring your Shamisen (guitar-like instrument)." "It's not the same without Lord Gennosuke." "I know!" "Nothing's much fun anymore." "Lord Gennosuke is the Tsubanari group." "I know how you feel, Suzue, I'm your brother." "I know it's very hard, but you have to forget Lord Gennosuke." "Everyone's waiting for you." "Let's get home before dark." "I'll go home by myself today." "You've grown so beautiful, Princess Yoshi." "Once Gennosuke marries you, I'm sure he'll settle down." "Muneshige, as his brother, what do you think?" "Yes." "I'm sure Gennosuke will behave better, in time." "Good." "I wish Gennosuke would behave like you... so I wouldn't have to worry about him." "What's taking him so long?" "Please reconsider, brother!" "No!" "I won't go!" "Genzaburo, you go and meet her." "Please!" "No one sends their younger brother to a betrothal meeting." "What's going on, Gennosuke?" "The princess is waiting for you." "Father, I won't marry her." "Please reject this marriage." "You're rejecting her?" "Whoever planned it, I don't want an arranged marriage!" "Wait up." "What are you doing?" "Lord Gennosuke's not the only man on Earth." "Forget your feelings towards him." "That's none of your business." "You know he's a playboy." "Perhaps he's toying with you." "Enough!" "Tsukahara, I'll tell my brother... and tell the Tsubanari group if you keep bothering me." "Get out of my way!" "I love your fighting spirit." "Are you going to scream?" "Too bad no one will hear you." "Who are you?" "You forgot me already?" "It's you!" "I've heard Tsubanari rules allow wildness, but not brutality." "I wouldn't think an animal like you could join them." "Shut up!" "You need to cool off." "Where did she go?" "She ran that way." "Looked like she was about to cry." "Which way did she go?" "Let me ask you something." "Are you interested in that young girl?" "Come on, now!" "She forgot something." "I think she's upset." "I don't want to stay in Edo." "Please let me go home." "I'm afraid that's impossible." " But..." "Lord Gennosuke didn't show up at all." "That means..." "Could it mean he rejects this marriage?" "That's the obvious conclusion." "Oh, Princess!" "You need to be strong." "Otherwise, anything is possible." "We must consider her feelings, too." "You fail to understand what I told you before." "We're doing this for Bishu clan." "She can't go home until Lord Gennosuke agrees to marry her." "That's insane!" "I've informed the Shogun in writing." "So, help me with this." "It's impossible." "You have no worries so long as I, Ukyo Iyo, am with you." "May I speak to you, sir." "A man named Tsukahara Kijyuro is here." "He claims to have something important to tell you." "Tsukahara?" "I am Iyo." "What did you want to tell me?" "The reason why Lord Gennosuke rejected Princess Yoshi." "I know what it is." "Really?" "Lord Gennosuke is in love with a girl named Suzue." "She's Ino Mataya's young sister." "Suzue?" "Tell me more." "It'll be hard to arrange a wedding between the Shogun's clan and yours..." "As long as Suzue's around." "So what do you want in return?" "Money?" "INO" "Ms Suzue, you should forget Lord Gennosuke." "It's best for both of you." "I'm sure everyone respects your feelings." "He'll become the Lord of the 69 million koku Bishu clan... and we'll give you something in return as well." "I'd say 69 million is a happy ending for everyone." "No, thank you." "Wait!" "You're saying that you'll act against us?" "There's no guarantee he'll be happy... even as a lord of a 69 million koku clan." "I've wasted time talking to you." "Let me talk to the master of this house." "I told you my brother's out of town." "Please give this to Ms Suzue." "Father, you win." "It's more important to see what happens next, instead of waiting in the dark." "Yes, I know." "I understand now." "We've just come back." "Did she reject the offer?" "Yes, she did." "I'm sorry." "She's such a stubborn thick-headed woman." "She even dismissed our clan." "How dare she!" "She's just a Hatamoto's daughter!" "Father, I need to teach her the power of the Bishu clan." "Let me go." "Don't waste your time." "We must give up on this and start on a new plan." "The wrong move means death." "Hi Sanji!" "Where's your master?" "He's gone to see the cherry blossoms with Lady Chiyoharu." "How romantic!" "I can take you there, too." "Don't try so hard, you're just a kid!" "That's not true!" "I'm more of a man than your husband!" "What a mouth on you!" "Cut it out!" "They don't sell much to eat here." "And the girl at the café was rude." "It's a busy season for them." "So, Chiyoharu..." "How would you feel if they asked you to dump me so I could be the Bishu Lord... and have all that money?" "Have you gone crazy?" "Maybe, it's the crazy season, too." "So, what would you do?" "I'd break up with you." "Really?" "Then once you became Lord, I'd go to your place and we'd get together." "That's a good plan!" "What kind of question is that?" "You don't want me any more because I'm a geisha?" "Never mind!" "Please forget about it." "By the way..." "I don't have 69 million koku, but I can support you." "Why don't you quit raising ducks?" "That's a nice offer... but I'd feel strange being a kept man." "Besides, if you support me, I can't talk back to you." "And, the ducks are pretty cute." "Cuter than me?" "What?" "Don't compare them to you." "Please..." "Come on, just tell me I'm cuter than the ducks." "Please don't make faces." "Let's just enjoy the cherry blossom." "Why don't you sing a song for me?" "No way!" "Don't be jealous of my ducks!" "Hey, people can see us." "Let them see us." "Now, if I worked for a lord, we couldn't act like this." "Who on earth is making so much noise there?" "Gennosuke wins!" "So, who's next?" "I give up!" "Everyone's so weak." "Next match is Oyama vs Jiraiya!" "Masaya!" "Masaya!" "How's Suzue doing?" "I haven't seen her lately." "Is she all right?" "She's fine, but she does seem a little sad." "She must be mad at me for going to the marriage meeting." "No, she can't be mad at you!" "Why not take her to the cherry blossoms?" "Don't speak that way to him!" "Why not?" "Mind your own business!" "Who do you think you are?" "Acting like an old fogey." "What do you mean by that?" "Enough." "Stop it already." "Please tell Suzue I will wait for her at Yomogi An." "Are you serious?" "Master!" "Master!" "There he is!" "Master!" "Where's Chiyoharu?" "Don't you know anything about women?" "You just fell asleep and she went back to work." "She's already gone." "It must be hard being a famous geisha!" "She should be here soon, my Lord." "Does everyone feel such pain when their love is absent?" "Let's go home master!" "You've had too much to drink." "Are you sure you're alright?" "Who are you?" "What do you think you're doing?" "Don't you know I'm from Ino clan?" "How sad it is to ruin such a beautiful night on Mt Atago." "Don't interrupt us!" "Sorry but you're the one causing trouble." "I can't just walk away." "Swine!" "Kill him!" "Easier said than done." "You can't chop me like a piece of radish." "Old man..." "She's late." "I'll step out to see if she's nearby." "Wait, sir!" "Just one minute." "Hold on, you cowards!" "Now they run away." "How silly of those fools." "After them, Sanji." "We keep bumping into each other." "I don't know how to thank you." "Please, no need." "I can lead a horse, but a carriage is too hard to lift." "What are you doing to her, Ronin!" "People just won't listen to me tonight." "Lord, if you love her, pay more attention and take better care of her." "Wait!" " Please don't!" "He saved me!" " I must have a duel with him!" "Please, please don't!" " Shut up!" "What will you do?" "This!" "Come on!" "Stop it!" "Come on!" "Stop it already, you two!" "Please stop!" "Be quiet!" "Lord Gennosuke!" "Lord Gennosuke!" "What's going on this early?" "Quiet!" "I said be quiet!" "What's going on?" "Is he being promoted?" "No!" "He won't do it." "Of course he'll accept the offer!" "He doesn't seem interested in high rank, he's a true Samurai!" "I say he won't." "He was a Samurai but he's suffered too much." "He won't go back to their rigid rules." "We bet he will!" "I beg you, don't go." "It's not going to work." "It must be a trap." "It may be, but I must go and find out." "Anyway, have you got something to bind my hair?" "Your hair?" "I won't help you get ready!" "What a way to strike your opponent!" "Aren't you ashamed?" "Do you still want to fight me?" "I see, you're a true spearmaster!" "Forgive me." "I thought this welcome suited us best." "Excuse me, sir." "The Shogun wishes to meet your guest" " Fuwa Mondo." "Everyone, this is the Fuwa Mondo I was speaking of." "Would anyone like to hire him?" "He's a rare true Samurai." "Excuse me, sir." "We, the Bishu family... would love to welcome him along with Lord Gennosuke." "We'd like Sir Fuwa to be our spear-fighting instructor." "Thank you for the fine offer, but I am afraid I must refuse." "What do you mean?" "Isn't the Bishu clan good enough for you?" "I didn't mean it that way, sir." "It would honor me to work for the Bishu clan... but such a grand position wouldn't suit me." "I'm happy teaching at my small dojo." "You're an interesting man to refuse such a promotion!" "I like you even more!" "Don't you agree, Father?" "If you don't wish to accept, that's fine." "I've never heard of Shindo Munen-ryu spear fighting before." "It sounds interesting." "Show me your moves so that I'll remember it." "Yes, sir." "Mondo..." "This is my precious spear" " Yamato." "I'm giving it to you." "You shouldn't do that, sir!" "I don't deserve your great spear." "I am not worthy of it." "This spear will come to life in the hands of a fine man like you." "Please take it." "If you insist, I will take it." "Let me begin." "Shindo Munen-ryu!" "Spear!" "Seinan!" "Tonan!" "Right Hasso!" "Left Hasso." "This is Midarezaki Taisya!" "So, I'm your only student?" "That's right." "He's too tough on beginners, so they don't stay." "I'll be hard on you, too." "Are you ready for it?" "This is Fukagawa, a famous tough town." "I am ready." "What a good student!" "Mondo, there is one thing I don't get." "Why did you point your spear at the Chief Councilor of the Bishu clan?" "Oh, did I?" "You think too much." "Master, you have a guest." "Oh, it's you!" "Lord Gennosuke, what are you doing here?" "Are you surprised?" "Look, Chiyoharu, such nice guests in my dojo!" "You two were fighting last night." "What happened to you?" "You want to know?" "I've been looking for a man with guts, that I can trust." "That man is Mondo." "I like him." "You did shock me with that punch." "I've been worrying about you all this time!" "That's what I do all the time!" "Ms Suzue, you need to be very careful for a while, especially at night." "Can I speak to you, master?" "What is it?" "Ms Suzue, if you're worried about something, ask me." "I'll do my best to help." "Suzue, we have such fine friends and helpers." "What's going on?" "I'm sure there were some suspicious men here." "I swear I saw them." "You must be mistaking what you saw." "No!" "This guy was peeking into the dojo's kitchen window!" "Who's there?" "Stop!" "Tsukahara!" "Come this way." "What's going on?" "Let's go inside, you're going to catch cold." "Leave them alone for now." "I'm sure they have a lot to talk over." "What a surprise!" "I thought you had a cold heart, suddenly you've turned sweet." "You taught me well." "I'll be a real Fukagawa dandy one day." "I see, both Gennosuke and Suzue are in Fuwa's dojo now." "Aren't you angry with them?" "I'm sure you don't want them to be happy." "Who do you want me to kill?" "The girl who dumped you" " Suzue." "Kill Suzue?" "Can you do it?" "Why didn't you tell me a man from the Bishu came to your house?" "Now I see why Mondo didn't tell me." "Why did you keep silent, Suzue?" "I didn't want to bother you." "That's why I was worried." "What are you saying?" "What hurts you also hurts me." "Whoever came after you is after me, too." "I won't put up with it!" "Lord Gennosuke..." "I won't let you worry alone." "I'll introduce you to my father." "It may take time, but I'm sure he'll understand one day." "I'll be at your side forever." "I'll never let you go, Suzue." "Oh, no!" "Stop!" "Who are they?" "!" "You're bleeding!" "They'll stop at nothing to kill Suzue!" "I can't let them get away with it." "So, you knew?" "Suzue told me everything." "I'll go to the Bishu for revenge!" "You can't do that." "Why not?" "We need evidence." "I can't wait for that!" "You don't want to start a war without proof, for Suzue's sake especially." "Please let me handle this." "Leave this to you?" "Okay, I trust you, Mondo." "Tsukahara, you didn't kill Suzue." "I tried, but Gennosuke was in my way." "I don't want to hear any excuses!" "We've hired some strong Ronin as ordered, sir." "Very well." "Kill Suzue tonight!" "Yes, sir!" "Sir Ukyo..." "Please put me in charge of this mission!" "I won't give up." "Give me another chance!" "Please let me do it, Father." "I'll put Tsukahara in charge." "Thank you." "I won't fail again." "Why can't you let me try, father?" "You're too young." "It wasn't planned, but Gennosuke was wounded." "If you're involved, we'll be arrested for rebelling against the Shogun." "It's better to use men like him for now." "Suzue?" "Suzue?" "What are you doing, Suzue?" "Won't you talk to your brother?" "What are you up to?" "You promised Gennosuke to take care of this mess, but you haven't done a thing!" "Are you listening?" "I'm worried sick about this." "Listen, Chiyoharu." "The wife of a Samurai must trust her husband at all times." "What did you say?" "You can't be my wife if you keep worrying!" "You surprise me again." "Mondo!" " Lord Gennosuke!" "You seem as relaxed as usual." "I'm already in trouble for just that." "Hey, that hurts!" "Did you find out anything?" "Don't worry, I've got all the information." "We're just waiting for them to take action." "The third time's a charm." "They won't escape this time." "Not this time." "Master!" "Sanji, did you find out?" "Of course I did." "I saw the Ronin gathering at a house across the river." "Good work Sanji." "That's what I was waiting for." "Let the game begin!" "Why didn't you tell us before?" "I had no idea until my sister told me just now." "I'm going to the Bishu family to take revenge now!" "Why not ask us to come with you?" "We're true friends!" "That's right." "We live and die together!" "Will you do that for me?" "Sure!" "We'll attack the 69 million-koku family!" "We'll show them the power of the Shogun's Hatamoto!" "The power of the Tsubanari group!" "I know how they feel, knowing what the Bishu clan has done." "I couldn't hide it from my brother any longer." "What we can do is trust Mondo now." "That's right." "Don't worry." "You look after Lord Gennosuke's wound." "My Mondo will do just fine." "That's for sure." "Mondo will do all right." "Halt!" "This is the route to the Bishu clan." "I can't let you pass." "We are the Tsubanari group!" "What are you doing with that spear?" "This Yamato spear was given me by Lord Gennosuke." "I'm here to stop you for his sake!" "What did you say?" "I know how you feel, but if you attack the Bishu family... the head of the Tsubanari group will suffer for it." "You don't want Gennosuke punished, do you?" "But, we can't forgive them after the attack on Lord Gennosuke!" "Move out of the way!" " I refuse!" "You're just a worthless Ronin!" "Get out of the way!" "They need a lesson, but not in public." "If you won't stand down, you'll have to get past this spear." "Stand down?" " Impossible." "If we can't do it, then who'll take care of them?" "I, Fuwa Mondo, will do it!" "I'm just a free reckless Ronin." "I have nothing to lose." "I'll await the good news at my premises." "Finally, they're on their way." "Finally you lousy worms have come." "Ms Suzue isn't here." "Shut up!" "I told you, she's not here." "You say that easily, but it's not worth losing your lives for money." "Go home now." "Once this spear starts moving, you'll start dying." "It's you!" "I can't believe he's fallen in love with the daughter of a Hatamoto." "Love can make men blind." "It took a while to get rid of the girl, but I'm sure they've disposed of her." "Sir, Lord Gennosuke has come." "What did you say?" "Is Ukyo here?" "It's me, Gennosuke!" "Who are you waiting for, Ukyo?" "Suzue's not dead, by the way." "You idiot!" "To pursue your filthy plans... you tried to kill Suzue and make me marry Princess Yoshi." "Is that true?" "I don't know what you're talking about, sir." "You're telling me you had no part in attacking me?" "I have no idea about any of that, sir." "Look Ukyo..." "Here's the living proof!" "Don't lie any more!" "Now what do you say?" "He told us everything." "I don't know that man." "Shut up!" "How dare you lie to me!" "Please don't!" "What kind of Samurai are you?" "Did you forget my spear at the castle?" "Ukyo!" "Perhaps you look down at me because I'm a Ronin." "Listen, you know why Lord Gennosuke didn't report this to Edo castle?" "He wanted the Bishu family to keep it's name and reputation." "Now let's see which way you jump." "If you're a Samurai, you know what to do... or will you keep lying?" "I'm sorry." "Everything, all of this, it's all my fault." "Forgive me." "Good." "Are you prepared to commit seppuku?" "Yes, sir." "Still, I don't want to cause trouble here... and I have work to finish at Edo castle." "Will you wait till morning?" "What?" "I'd like to end my life at my house across the river." "Will you swear to this?" "I swear to you, sir." "I beg you, witness my seppuku in apology." "Can I do that, Mondo?" "I don't see a problem." "I'll see you in a few hours, Ukyo." "Father!" "Sir!" "Everyone, please go." "What are you going to do, sir?" "We can't end up like this!" "It's not over yet." "Tsukahara, you've done a good job." "Thank you!" "If we use Gennosuke's brother Genzaburo, we might succeed." "Yaheita, make Genzaburo marry Princess Yoshi." "But Father..." "Don't worry." "Gennosuke will die in a match with Tsukahara." "Then kill the Ronin so no one will know our plot." "Then what about you?" "I'm not going to die." "Gennosuke will die instead." "We must accomplish our plans." "Let me take care of it!" "Shibata, come here!" "You..." "I came instead of Lord Gennosuke!" "Ukyo, why are so many Ronin hiding in this house?" "Are they here to welcome Lord Gennosuke?" "I didn't think so." "Of course, you won't speak." "You plan to kill Lord Gennosuke instead of committing seppuku!" "This is the proof!" "Wait!" "You need to keep your promise." "Otherwise this spear will go through your body." "Fool!" "Gennosuke's probably dead by now!" "I sent my assassins to your dojo!" "Damn you!" "What did you say?" "You're so shameless!" "There's nothing you won't stoop to!" "I won't forgive this!" "So what!" "Don't open the door, no matter what happens." "Are you from Bishu?" "Fuwa Mondo's not here." "So I, Tokugawa Gennosuke, will fight you." "You needn't be surprised." "He figured out the whole scheme." "Now he's cleaning up the mess over there." "It's not too late Ukyo!" "Commit seppuku now!" "No!" "You'll be the one who dies!" "Stop acting like a devil!" "Shame on you!" "This way, Father!" "Yaheita!" "Wait, Ms Suzue!" "It's him!" "Master!" "Get out of the way!" "Oh, Mondo!" "I took care of them!" "You did?" "Thank you!" "Let me help here." "Come on!" "Great!" "Honey!" "Are you listening to me?" "Maybe I should become a duck too." "Will the ducks accept you as a friend?" "Master!" "The Tsubanari group is here to see you!" "They're here?" "Place our trust in our brothers..." "United to keep the peace of the world" "That's what a real Samurai does" "This is what we believe in" "We are the Tsubanari group!" "I see, if they're lovebirds, then we're love-ducks." "Fukagawa was their cupid." "And the Tokugawa family has been revitalized!"
