"In ancient times the land lay covered in forests where from ages long past dwelt the spirits of the gods." "Back then men and beast lived in harmony, but this time went by most of the great forests were destroyed those that remained were guarded by gigantic beasts who owed their religions to the Great Forest Spirit for those were the days of gods and of demons." "PRINCESS MONONOKE" "Yakul!" "Come on boy." "Girls!" "Ashitaka!" "There is something strange going on." "You have to hurry the wise woman wants everybody to go back to the village at once" "We just came from Ji San." "Did you see something?" "Yes in the forest, something's wrong" "The birds have all gone." " And the animals, too." "I'll go to watch it out and then check with Ji San You three hurry back home and be quick about it." "All right." "Be careful." "Something's there." "Ji San." "Did you see, too?" "I did." "It isn't human..." "The wise woman called back everybody back to the village." "There!" "Look!" "It's some kind of demon." "A demon!" "?" "!" "Run, Yakul!" "Run!" "It heads to the village." "I have got to stop it." "Return, Ashitaka!" "Wait!" "Be careful!" "I think it's cursed!" "Don't let it touch you." "Here, Yakul!" "Calm your fury!" "Almighty lord or whatever you may be." "God or demon, please leave us at peace." "The monster!" "Come on!" "Go back!" "Please leave our village alone!" "Stop please." "Stop!" "Get up!" "Kaya!" "Run!" "Come on." "Hurry!" "He killed it" "Ashitaka!" "Fetch the wise woman!" "Don't put a fire on it." "Ashitaka!" "Are you all right?" "Kaya, don't touch it This wound is evil" "The prince has been hurt." "Where is the wise woman?" "Here she comes!" "You must keep away from him." "All of you Everyone stay back!" "What shall we do?" "Take this and pour over his wound child." "Slowly." "O nameless god of rage and heat I bow before you." "A mound will be raised and funeral rites before on this ground where you have fallen." "Pass on in peace and bear us no hatred" "Disgusting little creatures soon all of you will feel my hate and suffer as I have suffered" "I'm afraid that this is very bad" "The stones tell me that the boar-god came from far to the West" "He had some kind of a poison inside him driving him mad" "A poisonous hatred that consumed his heart and flesh... and turned him into a demon monster" "Prince Ahsitaka" "Yes" "Show everyone your right arm" "What did she mean?" "My prince, are you prepared to learn what fate the stones have told you" "Yes, I was prepared the very moment that I let my arrow fly" "The infection was spread throughout your whole body, your bone and flash alike" "It will cause you a great pain then kill you" "Is there no way we can stop it?" "Prince got that wound by defending our village and saving our lives!" "Do we just sit here and watch him die?" "You cannot alter your fate, my Prince." "However, you can rise to meet it if you choose" "Look at this." "This iron ball was found in the boar's body" "This is what hurt him so It shattered his bones and burned its way deep inside him" "This is what turned him into a demon" "There is evil at work in a land to the West prince Ashitaka." "It's your fate to go there and see what you can see by eyes unclouded by hate" "You may find the way to lift the curse." "You understand?" "Yes." "We are the last of the Emishi" "It's 500 years since the Emperor destroyed our tribe... and drove the remnants of our people to the East" "Some managed to survive here for all these years" "But the blood of our tribe has round thinner and weaker with each generation now our last prince must cut his hair and leave us" "Nowhere to return." "Sometimes I think the gods are lead us..." "Our law forbids us watching you go Ashitaka." "Whatever comes to pass now you are dead to us, forever." "Farewell." "Asitaka" "Kaya, what are you doing here?" "You know it's forbidden" "Do you think I care about that?" "I came to give you this so you won't forget your little sister." "Your crystal dagger Kaya, I can't take this" "Please keep it with you brother to protect you" "You must take it I want you to have it!" "So you won't ... forget" "Kaya, you know I can never forget you." "A battle?" "No, a massacre" "Where are you going?" "Come ahead, you cowards!" "There are unarmed Move in" "Look up there on a hill There is a warrior" "His head is mine" "You!" "Stop!" "My arm." "What's happening to me?" "Stop him." "Hurry!" "Don't let him get away!" "Let me pass!" "I'm warning you!" "The demon!" "?" "!" "The marks are getting bigger." "Well look over there" "Who is that?" "I haven't seen him before." "This is like soup-donkey piss." "Mummy look." "There is he!" "Would this be enough?" "Hey there!" "What are you trying to pull?" "This isn't money!" "Give me back my rice you little thief." "Excuse me, but may I inspect that?" "Go ahead." "Hmm..." "My god!" "This is a lump of pure gold you silly woman" "However, if it's mine if you want I will pay for the rice and take this nugget of your hands" "What do you say?" "My good people, is there a money-changer who can tell us how much money this is worth?" "No?" "All right." "Well I'm just a monk, but I'd say three bags of rice at least" "That's right." "Maybe even more." "Hey wait a minute Where are you going?" "Where you going!" "?" "!" "Give me my gold" "Hey!" "Why to hurry?" "You can't just rush off now." "We've only just met." "We have got your rice and everything is fine." "You are a man of few words." "I understand." "Well don't you even think of thanking me." "It was my pleasure." "In fact I should be thanking you, really." "You see, I was caught in that battle" "I saw what you did to the samurai." "You fight like a demon Where did you learn to fight like that?" "I see you noticed we are being followed This what we get for waving that gold nugget around" "They will wait till we sleep and then they'll slaughter our throats." "What do you say we give them a little demonstration of how fast we can run?" "Ha?" "So, the demon turned out to be a giant boar." "I've followed its trail westward through the mountains to where the samurai were attacking those villagers but then ..." "You lost it." "That's life You see this place here" "When I came here last few years back this was a lovely little village" "But there must have been a flood, a landslide or a fire the only sure thing is that everybody is dead" "These days there are angry ghosts all around us ... dead from wars, sickness, starvation and nobody cares" "So, you say you are under a curse Oh, so what?" "So it's the damned whole world." "Ah" "I was wrong to fight in that village, two men are dead because of me" "Samurai talks "You win some, you lose some"" "Here, hand me your bowl My point is that everybody dies, boy" "Some now, some later from brothel girl to neighbor" "I've heard them say that the Emperor have promised the entire hill of gold to anyone who'd have helped him live forever" "Beautiful bowl." "I have seen one other like it" "Have you ever heard of the Emishi people?" "They're said to ride red elks." "They also use arrowheads, just like you" "Of course they were wiped out 500 years ago" "Don't worry I won't tell anyone where are you from" "Anyway I've got much bigger fish to fry" "Have you ever come across anything like this before?" " Never have" "It came from the giant boar." "It was inside him." "And I'm sure it was that little ball of iron that killed it." "There is a place high in the mountains far to the West from here ... it's where the spirit of forests dwells and it is a very dangerous place for humans" "To enter there is certain death" "The spirit of the forest?" "I've been told the beasts there are all giants just as they were in the dawn of time" "See you there my friend" "Come on!" "Moving!" "Whatch the line!" "Yeah, push it!" "As soon as we get this rice home the sooner we'll eat Let's move!" "Ehh, coming this way!" "Wolves!" "Don't let the oxen panic" "Stay calm!" "Take up your positions" "Keep your powder dry Make sure you wait for them to come within range" "Ready ..." "Unfire!" "Fire!" "Set along Fire!" "That was it?" "They weren't so big" "They are just pups, wait till you see their mother" "Where are they?" "It's Moro!" "Come on" "Aha ha ha, we killed her!" "You forget she is a god, it'll take more than that" "She certainly did some damage" "Well, move out now" "But what about the men she pushed off out of the cliff?" "They are dead let's get the living home" "Still breathing" "My name is Ashitaka I travel far from lands to the east" "Are you ancient gods and have I come at last to the home of the spirit of the forest?" "Go away!" "A kodama?" "I've never thought I could see one of them here." "Easy there." "You don't wanna make your injuries worse, do you?" "It's a tree spirit." "He brings good luck It's a sign this forest is healthy" "But they'll lead their lord and master right to us." "Who do you mean?" "You mean those wolves I just saw?" "No!" "I mean the real monster like a huge, enormous tree except it's coming in human face sometimes and then it might be said ..." "Aghhh !" "Where it go?" "!" "?" "Aghhh !" "Look, reinforcements!" "We're doomed!" "Oh no!" "If Yakul is not afraid than we have nothing to worry about here." "Aghhh !" "Would you be kind enough to grant us passage through your forest, little one?" "Oh no." "Eeee." "Sir, I really think we should turn around now." "I wonder ... did I ever mention that no humans have never made it when this woods is alive." "There is a lovely trail back across the river." "The current is too swift for us to get across and your friend's injuries are very bad" "If we don't get him back soon he doesn't even have a chance" "Hey little fellow are you showing us the way or just getting us more lost?" "Please Sir I am really pretty sure that they are not trying to help us get home" "Oh my God, there is thousands of them." "Look at that." "It must be their mother A final tree!" "Oh, this place is magical" "The tracks of the wolves and the girl with them" "This place must be where the four of them live" "Sir I think maybe we took a wrong turn somewhere" "This is a place for gods and demons" "I think we are safe We'll rest a bit" "More tracks?" "Whatever made these, it made them recently" "Sir what's going on?" "Are you all right?" "Ah Sir, what just happened there?" "You went white as a sheet all of a sudden I warned you about this place" "Here." "Did you see anything jus then?" "Like what?" "Forget it." "Hang on just a little longer." "You're almost home I failed there" "It's gone whatever it was" "That's strange, suddenly it doesn't feel heavy at all" "My arm, it doesn't hurt It's healed!" "Aghhhh!" "No it's still broken" "Aha ha, so you were right." "We made it back home" "Just like you've said" "It's a fortress" "It's Lady Eboshi's Iron Town" "We make iron here from ore and sand" "Look there." "Somone coming out of the woods" "Is it the wolf girl?" "Look it's me!" "Koroku the ox-driver!" "It's Koroku." "He is alive!" "Koroku's alive!" "It's true, Koroku is still alive" "It can't be." "What?" "!" "?" "Quiet, stop that noise!" "I'm trying to tally this accounts." "Shut up!" "Haven't you heard Koroku's come back from the dead!" "What?" "!" "Let's go." "Here they are." "There he is." "This is unbelievable." " Where are the others, Koroku?" " Yes, is my son with you?" "I'm afraid we are the only ones who made it." "It's never the guards that die." "Stand aside!" "That man with the weird costume, sir." "Who do you think he could be?" "He is obviously an outsider." "Listen to me everyone!" "This stranger saved our lives He carried a riflemen all the way back here" "You should be thankful to him" "Aghh!" "Hey watch the arm" "Hold it right there!" "I'm very grateful to you for bringing this men back to us, stranger." "But something doesn't smell right You got back here almost as fast as we did... and through the forbidden forest." "On top of that you did it with two badly injured men." "And you want me to believe that you .." "Koroku!" "You're alive" "Toki, my love!" "That's just great!" "How are you ever gonna drive the ox now, bind up and mangled!" "But my little flower..." "You scared me half to death!" "Don't you little-flower me!" "I wish the wolves had eaten you." "Then maybe I could have found a real husband" "Sweetness, can we discuss this later?" "Toki!" "Save your sweet nothings for some other time" "And as for you Gonza, a fine captain of the guard you are always strengthened through all wandering around if was the danger over" "You never do a little work around here" "That's unfair and untrue" "Thanks stranger." "My husband's an idiot, but I'm glad he's safe and sound." "That's a relief." "I was starting to think I've done something wrong by bringing him back home" "Ha ha ha." "Say, why don't you take the mask off?" "I bet you are really handsome" "Gonza" "Bring the stranger to me later" "I would like to thank him personally" "Koroku" "Ah?" "Yes?" "I'm happy your back and I apologize" "Okey" "Oh oh, Milady, you really shouldn't tell him things like that If you're too nice he will walk all over you" "I hope you forgive me too, Toki." "I was responsible." "I shouldn't have never let it happen." "Oh that's all right, Milady." "If you hadn't been there the wolves would've eaten everyone... and then we'd all have to find ourselves new husbands" "Get some rest, Traveler." "I will see you this evening" "Wow!" "Hey!" "You're not handsome you are gorgeous." "There!" "You know they had to fight all wolves to get this rice through" "Just dish it out!" "Is he there?" "There he is." "Where is he?" "Over there." "Toki was right he is handsome" "Yeah not bad." "But he is so young" "That never stopped you before!" "Quiet out there!" "We lost some good men today!" "Yeah, there is lots of gorgeous men in here honey!" "I've seen kettle that looked better." "Listen, stranger, why don't you come over to our place?" "You don't wanna stay in this stinking old barn" "What woman?" "We risked our lives to bring the rice you're all eating tonight." "So, watch your mouth!" "And who made the iron that paid for that rice, ha?" "Tell me that." "Yeah, we are pumping those bellows while you pigs are in bed" "Actually if it's not too much trouble ladies I would like to see where you work" "You would?" "I'll have to work in make-up on much trouble" "Don't forget now." "We'll be waiting for you" "It's best not to pay them any mind, you know." "Lady Eboshi spoils them." "That's why they like that." "Well they say that happy women make a happy village" "Happy?" "Ha, those kind of women working here?" "Women like that, it's a disgrace, they defile the iron." "Lady Eboshi goes around buying the contract with every brothel girl she can find" "Milady has a kind heart." "That's all." "And you've got rice on your chick, old man." "Well it's true." "Everything here has turned upside down since she showed up." "That's right she is not even afraid of the Gods, that woman." "Well, you should have seen the way she dealt with Nago Am I right !" "?" "!" "Who is 'Nago'?" "Who is Nago!" "?" "!" "The gigantic boar-god He used to rule this whole forest" "We couldn't even get nearer the mountains with him around" "Nothing to do but sitting on our backsides for months dealing with a bunch of angry boars" "See the iron in the sand under this town, it all have been dug out." "So then we tried to get the iron under the mountain path Nago wasn't to stand up for that" "The problem was before we could dig for the iron we had to clear the way through forest" "And that's what made the boar angry" "He is doing Okay" "Then one day lady Eboshi came along with her warriors in the rifles" "Young man, what's wrong?" "Is something hurting your arm?" "No, I was just thinking about the boar-god" "I was thinking how he must have died filled with hate" "Forgive me for keeping you waiting stranger" "That's good iron" "We were running behind of tomorrow's shipment" "Let's have a rest." "You may tell the others." "Yes, mum." "Some think you are either a spy for the wolf girl, for Lord Asano and his samurai" "There are lot of people out there with their eyes on this iron" "Why are you here?" "If you don't mind my asking" "I believe you'll recognize this." "It shattered the bones of the giant boar" "Rotted his flesh and turned him into the monster" "I fought with him and for that I was cursed with this mark on my arm" "And soon it will kill me" "Where is it you come from?" "I've never seen a red elk like that before." "I've come of very long way." "I can't tell you more than that" "Aghhh!" "Answer Milady questions or I'll cut in half" "What do you plan to do?" "What exactly are you here for?" "To see with eyes unclouded by hate" "'Eyes unclouded'?" "Ha ha ha" "That explains it." "Come I'll show you all my secrets" "Is that wise Milady?" "Gonzo take over for me." "This is my garden none of the town's people dares to come here" "Follow me if you wish to learn my secrets" "Good evening" "We've only just finished it Milady" "Hmm, it's still to heavy" "Perhaps if you didn't hold it so delicately" "Milady if we'll make them any lighter they will fall apart" "I trust you to figure it out" "They are not for me." "They are for other women here" "That will be something to see" "This is the latest rifle that I've asked these people to design" "The one we have bought there turned out to be too heavy" "These will kill forest's monsters and pierce the thickest samurai armor" "You better watch out there young man." "Lady Eboshi wants to rule the world" "I'm sorry to have to push you all so hard I've one sent down later" "Hmm, that would be nice" "First you steel the boars' forest from him and then transfer him into a demon" "Now you're making even deadlier your weapons How much more hatred and pain do you think we need!" "?" "!" "Yes I'm the one who shot the boar" "And I'm sorry that you suffer, I truly am  that brainless pig I'm the one he should've put the curse on, not you." "Does that right hand of yours wish to kill me now, Ashitaka?" "If it would lift the curse I would let it tear you a part" "But even that wouldn't end the killing now, would it?" "No it wouldn't." "It would have to kill all of us to be at peace." "Milady Osa has something to say" "What if me Milady?" "You must not make light of that boy's strength" "Young man, like you I know rage, fears like grief and helplessness, but ... you must not take your revenge on lady Eboshi" "She is the only one who's saw us as human beings" "We are lepers, the world hates and fears us but she, she took us in and washed our rotting flesh and bandaged us" "Goho goho...... go ho go ho... ... go ho......(coughs)" "Osa...?" "Life is suffering." "It is hard." "The world is cursed, but still we find reasons to keep living" "I'm sorry for making no sense" "Ahh they just keep coming back" "Every night they're out there planting trees... trying to turn the mountain to forest again" "Stay here, help me kill the Forest Spirit Ashitaka" "You would do that?" "Kill the very heart of the forest?" "Without that ancient God the animals here would be nothing but dumb beasts, what's more... when the forest has been killed and the wolves wiped out this desolate place would be the richest land in the world" "And princess Mononoke will become human" "Princess Mononoke?" "Princess of the spirits, ghouls, beasts and ancient gods." "The wolves stole her sole and now she lives to kill me" "The legend said the blood of the Great Forest Spirit can heal anything" "Perhaps it can cure my poor lepers it might even lift your course Ashitaka" "Milady!" "How was the ashen feel to you, better?" "Smooth as silk, the perfect thing for ruling the world" "Tt's still to heavy for the girls" "All right" "Well look who is here" "Evening." "All right if I work the bellows for a while?" "What?" "I guess so." "Excuse me, mum." "May I try it?" "It's ok, we might as well let him try" "But, but ..." "When you get tired I'll take over for you" "Well that won't be long" "Woops, you better keep that kimono rope shut tight girl" "I'm impressed, but you'll never keep that pace up." "It's hard work, isn't it?" "You bet and our shifts are four days long" "You must lead hard lives here" "Yep." "I suppose." "Yeah, but it sure beats work in the brothel in the city." "Ha?" "Yeah, here we get to eat as much as we want and the men don't bother us" "Unless we want them to...ha ha..." "No!" "But you can't leave tomorrow" "You stay little longer" "You can stay and work here" "Thank you all but there is someone I have to find out there in the forest" "Ha?" "She is here" "The wolves are coming!" "It's the wolves' princess" "Hurry" "Stop" "I don't wanna fight you." "I am a friend" "She is on the roof" "Hurry she is after lady Eboshi" "Keep stocking those fires." "Riflemen to the stockade we'll plan right when we want her" "Our weapons are for every man." "Everyone defends Iron Town" "Toki she is on the roof" "Well don't get excited, keep those bellows working" "Whatever happens we can't let these fires go out" "Is she alone?" "Yes she can't escape." "We have her cornered" "You know she means to kill you this time" "We will see about that" "Come on" "Can you hear me princess of beasts?" "If it's me you want here I am" "If you seek revenge for the animals we've killed" "Well there are to women down here Who might like you to meet" "They want revenge as well..." "for husbands killed by your wolves" "Come on out you little witch, my husband is dead because of you" "There she is" "Everybody out of the way Get ready to fire!" "It's a trap No wait!" "Princess of the wolf gods Don't go down there" "Go back to the forest" "Listen to me!" "Please!" "Don't blow your life away!" "Shall I stop him?" "Leave him be, let him do what he likes" "She is down." "We got her!" "Stay back" "Cut off the wolves head and it still has the power to bite" "What?" "Take aim when she falls" "Right" "Open fire!" "No stay back" "What a devil was that?" "Wake up" "No!" "Kill her!" "Are you all right sir?" "Can I help you?" "Fine, fine!" "Get away from me." "Be gone!" "Traitor." "You are the spy for the wolves, aren't you?" "Stay back" "Halt!" "Step aside" "What do you think you're doing boy?" "Stay ahead the girls life is now mine" "I'm sure she'll make a lovely wife for you" "There is demon inside of you, it's inside both of you" "Look everyone." "This is what hatred looks like" "This is what it does when it catches all of you" "It's eating me alive." "And very soon now it will kill me" "Fear and anger only make it grow faster" "I'm getting a little bored of this curse of yours Ashitaka" "Let me jus cut this off" "Milady!" "Lady Eboshi!" "Somene come here ad take her form me" "Milady" "Don't worry she is just done." "She'll be all right" "As for me I'm leaving." "And I'm taking the wolf girl" "Oh no you're not." "Nobody treats Milady Eboshi like that" "Move and I fire!" "Kiyo what are you doing?" "How can he be still walking?" "Is she all right?" "Yes Milady is safe, sir." "Someone bring me my gun" "Riflemen to the square now, all that double." "They're not getting out of here alive!" "Toki come here" "What's happening?" "Sir I can't let you pass" "The gates have been ordered shut." "It can't be opened" "Turn back, please..." "We are grateful to you for bringing those men back to us We don't want to hurt you" "Please" "I walked in trough this gate this morning." "Now I'm going to leave the same way" "Don;t be a fool." "It takes ten man to open this gate" "Stop it you'll kill yourself" "It's opening" "Out of the way!" "The wolves are attacking!" "Flint!" "She is all right!" "Your princess is safe with me" "Stay and I'll bring her" "Come on Yakul" "You have my thanks" "Good luck, stranger" "Stop it!" "Leave him." "He's mine!" "His own people shot him" "He is dying" "Why did you stop him for killing her?" "Tell me while you're still alive!" "I didn't want them to kill you." "That's why" "I'm not afraid to die." "I'll do anything to get the humans out of my forest" "I knew that from the first moment I saw you" "And I'm not afraid of you." "I should kill you for saving her!" "That woman is evil and there is no one who can stop me from killing her" "No..." "live" "That's enough." "I'm not listening to you any more" "You're beautiful" "What is it San?" "Want me to crunch his face off?" "The ape tribe" "All right what do you want here?" "Apes!" "How dare you show such disrespect to the wolf clan?" "This is our forest" "The human give him to us" "Give us the human and go" "You go!" "Before our fangs find you." "We will not go." "We will eat the human" "Yes let us eat the man creature" "Are you crazy?" "Just what happened made the ape tribe change this way..." "Since when do apes eat the flesh of a man" "If we eat the human we will steal his strength" "And we will drive the other humans away" "We want the man creature" "Stop this you know you can't posses the human strength by eating them" "All that will do is make you into something else" "Something even worse then human" "We plant trees Humans tear them up" "The forest does not come back" "If we kill the humans we will save the forest" "You mustn't give up We will find a way" "The Forest Spirit is with us" "Go on planting your trees and some day we'll beat them" "The Forest Spirit will not fight." "We will all die" "Wolf girl does not care." "She is human" "Enough!" "I'll bite your head off, you traitoring ape" "Stop!" "Wait!" "Come back!" "Leave them alone!" "Don't worry about them." "It's all right" "You two go ahead now" "I'll stay here and deal with the human" "What about the elk?" "Yes." "Can we eat him?" "No you may not" "Go home." "Come over here." "Don't worry I'm a friend" "Don't be shy I won't hurt you" "I need you to help me carry him" "Please" "You are very wise." "You know better than not to set foot on this island, don't you?" "Oh I smell like a human" "You can go wherever you want to." "You're free now" "Oh, finally" "There he is." "Come and see." "Hurry" "Quick you idiots." "It's the night-walker" "He is the reason we've been sitting around in these stinking animal skins, you know" "But sir we can't it's a sin to look at it" "Oh and you call yourself the greatest hunter in the West" "Look, we've got a letter of pardon form the Emperor... forgiving us for cutting off the head of the Great Forest Spirit" "The legends tell us that when day becomes night... the Forest Spirit turns into the night-walker" "And at sunrises it changes back" "Look see there." "It's happening!" "Take a look master Jiko" "What is it?" "Over there" "Look there must be hundreds of them" "Those boars are not from this region" "They must have been traveling for months to get all the way up here" "That one is Okkoto" "It can't be" "They say he died a hundred years ago" "It's him all right, I know those old tusks and it looks like he brought along his own tribe" "Aghh, he's seen us Let's get out of here" "Come one you cowards!" "Move!" "Quickly!" "The pop wound has gone" "Yakul..." "The mark is still there" "Finally you're awake." "You know you really should thank Yakul He hasn't left your side this whole time" "How did you know his name is Yakul?" "He told me and he told me about you, about your village, your people and your forest" "The Forest Spirit brought you back to life again he wants you to live" "I had the strangest dream... there was a golden creature" "Eat this" "Chew" "We are here to kill the humans and save the forest" "Why are there humans here, Moro?" "Humans are everywhere these days, go back to your own mountain... kill them there" "The girl is San, my daughter" "We will kill them here... we will save this forest" "What is that other human doing here?" "He was shot and than the Great Spirit healed his wound!" "This man is not our enemy!" "The Forest Spirit saved him!" "?" "!" "Saved the life of that lonesome runt!" "?" "!" "Why couldn't he save Nago's!" "?" "!" "Is he the guardian of the forest?" "Why!" "?" "!" "The Forest Spirit gives life and takes life away" "Life and death are his alone or have you boars forgotten that?" "You lie!" "You must have begged the Forest Spirit to spare his life but you did not beg for Nago, did you?" "Nago was afraid to die" "Now I too carry within my breast a poison human bullet" "Nago fled and the darkness took him" "I remain and contemplate my death" "Mother please ask the Forest Spirit to save you" "I have lived long enough, San." "Soon the Forest Spirit will let me rest forever" "All these years you defended the Forest Spirit, he must save you!" "You are now fooling us..." "Nago was beautiful and strong." "He would not have run from anything!" "Your wolves must have eaten him!" "Quiet!" "What did you say you filthy pig!" "?" "!" "God's of the mountain." "Please listen to me..." "Nago died far form here... and I was the one who killed him" "He had become some kind of demon" "One day he attacked our village" "If you want proof look at my hand... where he touched me" "I came here to beg the Forest Spirit to lift Nago's curse from me" "He healed the bullet wound in my side but the demon mark remains" "First it will tear my soul apart and then it will kill me" "Okkoto... finally the boar who will listen to reason" "No!" "Lord Okkoto wait please you mustn't eat him" "Ahh" "You are Moro's human child, aren't you?" "I've heard of you" "You're blind" "Stand back I will not eat him" "It's all right San" "My Lord Okkoto what I said about Nago's death was the truth" "I believe you and I thank you for it young one" "I am only grieved and ashamed... that such a demon has come from our tribe" "Allmighty Lord" "Is there a way to lift Nago's curse from me?" "Leave this forest... or the next time we meet I will have to kill you" "You cannot win against the humans" "Their guns will destroy you all" "Look on my tribe Moro" "We grow small and we grow stupid" "We will soon be nothing but squealing gain... that the humans hunt for their meat" "You'd risk everything on one last battle" "That's just what the humans want" "I do not ask for the help of wolf tribe" "Even if everyone of us dies... it will be a battle the humans will never forget" "The Forest Spirit" "Come on." "Keep the oxen together!" "Hurry!" "Get ready now" "A little bit closer" "Fire!" "My haaaand!" "Reload!" "Fire!" "Attack!" "Well I see somebody is going to have to go play the peacemaker" "Take our rifle-men hide behind the cliffs" "Yes, sir." "Let's go!" "Stay there till I send for you" "Come on let's keep the oxen moving We have to get back to Iron Town" "There they are!" "Where?" "Coming around the path" "Our hunters are all ready, sir" "Excellent" "Well done my boy." "Go and spread the word" "We'll be moving out presently" "Yes, sir" "Greetings, Jiko" "Well I've got the Emperor breathing down my neck" "And you're busy playing war with Lord Asano" "And you would have nothing to do with Lord Asano being here now, would you?" "Of course not." "Whatever made you think that" "He will call the troops if I give him a half of my iron" "Is that right?" "Well he's like really bastard, isn't he?" "But all the same, we might as well let him have his iron listen Eboshi the boars are gathering for battle and you know what that means?" "You made me a promise." "Now I want you get me the head of the Forest Spirit... then we can come back and destroy Lord Asano together, ah?" "Watch out Milady there has some horses been coming that end" "Well speak of the devil!" "A messenger from Lord Asano" "We have guests." "Mind your mind as ladies" "Yes, mum" "Welcome back Milady" "Wow, but wait won't you event talk to the man?" "Lady Eboshi, Mistress of Iron Town I bring a massage to you from my Lord Asano" "You have fought violently and well" "Now open your gates that we may speak with you" "Hm, we can here you just fine from down there" "Milady took this mountain away from the Gods, the boars and the beasts" "And now that it's worth something, you want it!" "But you won't get it!" "Debris and impudence, you ladies need to be taught some respect" "Respect?" "What's that?" "We haven't had any respect since the day we were born" "You want some of our iron?" "There you go!" "They are really something." "They will fight the Forest God or samurai, it doesn't matter to them" "They're amazing bunch of girls They were wasted in the brothels" "(background) We are not taking orders from anyone" "Impresive for busy paper" "Well you know, it's got to be all the best hunters and trappers around" "Remeber my dear Lady we are after a God not just a beast" "Girls, come here" "Yes Milady." "What is it?" "Do you have any idea who this paper has come from?" "From the Emperor, himself" "That's nice." "Who's is he?" "Is he supposed to be important?" "I'm serious." "Who is he?" "Should we know him?" "Yes, they're really something" "Thank you" "Yes Milady" "Everyday that we cut trees and dig for iron the forest and its creatures grow weaker" "My way there is no loss of lives, Jiko" "Listen, you owe me and I've come to collect" "When you need riflemen then I will set them and without those riflemen you'll lose Iron Town" "Well, I'm sorry yet." "Did that sound like a threat" "Don't tell me the Emperor believes... that while he's tear apart the great Spirit's head, it'd had grown him into immortality" "I'm sure I don't know what the Emperor believes" "I'm just a humble monk" "I'm just trying to get by" "I keep my promises" "Anyway we have fought the boars before" "They're much easier to kill than Moro and her wolf camps" "So you can call out that shady bunch you've got hidden under the cliff, Jiko" "Ha, ha, ha, ha." "So I've been found out." "Jo!" "Just one more thing Milady" "Did a stranger come through you by any chance?" "He's a young man, riding a great, big, red elk" "Came ... and went" "A bad looking bunch if you ask me" "Those man are no ordinary hunters They're killers" "Killers?" "Milady at least let some of us go with you" "Yes you can't trust these men." "They're strangers" "That's right" "What if something goes wrong?" "And we are stuck here..." "We can't help you" "You said yourself we better shot than man are" "That's precisely why I want you all here in Iron Town" "I can deal with forest gods." "It's humans what I'm worried about" "Once the Forest Spirit is dead we don't know what will happen" "Will Jiko be satisfied with a creature's head" "Or will he be off to my iron works as well" "Jiko's riflemen may turn on us" "If that happens, I'll need everyone of you here to fight them" "Remeber you can't trust men" "Don't worry about her Ladyship I'll be right on her side, protecting her" "That's what we are afraid of" "What!" "?" "!" "Even if you were a woman, you'd still be an idiot" "You know you could always jump boy... to end it all" "As soon as your strength returns the mark will spread and destroy you" "It feels like I must have been asleep for weeks" "I had a dream that San is by my side ...nursing me" "I was hoping you cry out in your sleep" "Then I'd have beaten your head off to silence you" "It's a beautiful forest" "Are Okkoto and the boars on the move yet?" "Yes, the boars are marching" "The trees cry out as they die" "But you can't hear them" "I lie here" "I listen to the pain of the forest" "And feel the ache of the bullet in my chest" "And I dream of the day... when I will finally crunch that Gun Woman head in my jaws" "Moro ... why can't the humans and the forest live together?" "Why can't we stop this fighting now?" "The humans are gathering for the final battle" "The flames of their guns will burn us all" "And what happens to San" "What your plan?" "Will you let her die with you?" "Typical, selfish" "You think like a human" "San is my daughter." "She is of the wolf tribe" "When the forest dies so does she" "You must set her free" "She's not a wolf She's human!" "Silence, boy!" "How dare you speak to the God like that?" "I caught her human parents to violate my forest" "They threw the baby at my feet as they run away" "Instead of eating her..." "I raised her as my own" "Now my poor, ugly, beautiful daughter... is neither human nor wolf" "How can you help her?" "I don't know..." "But at least we might find a way to live" "Ha ha" "How will you join forces with San and fight the humans?" "No all that we do cause more hatred" "There is nothing you can do boy" "Soon the demon mark will spread and kill you" "Now leave this place at sunrise" "Return and I shall kill you" "You feeling all right?" "I'm fine thanks to you and the Forest Spirit" "Right" "Yakul." "Sorry if I worried you" "I guess my legs are still pretty weak, ha" "It's so quiet" "I wonder where our friends little Kodama went" "Oh, I can smell the iron works" "Thanks for showing us the way!" "I have another favor to ask!" "Will you please give this to San from me" "Let's go" "It stinks and it burns my eyes" "That's what they want they are trying to kill our sense of smell" "It's that damn woman again" "She knows we're around here" "It's a trap and those stupid boars..." "What?" "They're trying to lure the boars out of the forest" "No" "The humans are planning something" "Than we have to find Okkoto while there is still time to stop him... or else they all will be killed" "Okkoto is too stubborn" "He won't listen None of them will" "They may even know it's a trap" "The boars are a proud race" "The last one and left alive will still be charging blindly forward" "Why chop the trees down?" "To make them angry, which makes them stupid" "Mother I have to go" "Okkoto is blind" "I must be his eyes You understand?" "I knew that you must" "You know that boy wanted to share his life with you" "I hate him I hate all humans" "From Ashitaka?" "For me?" "Pretty" "You two stay with San" "I must go to the Forest spirit" "Right." "Let's go" "The Moro tribe is going to fight with you" "Where can I find Lord Okkoto?" "Good luck my friends" "It's coming from Iron Town" "Let's go!" "Who goes there?" "Samurai again" "Halt!" "I said!" "Out of the way!" "Yahhh" "What the devil was that thing?" "Don't waste your arrows, he is knocking them away" "He's a dead man anyway" "Seize fire" "Seize fire!" "Toki, come and look" "It can't be It's Ashitaka" "So he's not a ghost?" "Ashitakaaa!" "Toki!" "Are you all right?" "We're all right" "Lord Asano's samurai thought they try an ambush... as our men are away... thought we'll just roll over" "Where is Lady Eboshi?" "She took every able-bodied man" "And went to kill the Forest spirit" "We're cut off here" "We can't even get a massage to Lady Eboshi" "The Forest Spirit..." "That explains the explosions" "Hey, sir, I've still got your bow and arrows" "Aren't you gonna tell him you've got his cloak and saddle, too" "Oh, I do?" "Oh you're useless!" "Many thanks Koroku I'll try and bring you some help" "Can you hold out?" "Don't worry we can always pour hot iron on them" "Bring back Lady Eboshi" "And don't take too long" "Aha I missed" "They're bringing boats across the river" "Go and get Lady Eboshi" "We'll hold them off as long as we can" "I'll be back!" "I promise" "We'll be here" "Get him!" "Stop that man!" "It looks like they're going to cut us off" "Run Yakul!" "You two go that way!" "Burning animal flesh" "Yakul!" "Stay back!" "Show me your wound" "You'll have to stay here Wait for me" "I'll come back for you" "I said stay" "We're almost there my friend" "Who goes there?" "My orders are no outsiders permitted here" "All right but I have just come from Iron Town" "I have a massage for Lady Eboshi Tell me where I can find her" "The Eboshi woman is not here Give me the massage" "I'll make sure she gets it" "I must speak with her Now where is she?" "It's really you?" "You're still alive" "It looks like you men had a worse time than I did" "We've been burying our friends all days" "It's horrible, horrible" "Iron Town has come under attack" "What?" "The women and the lepers... have fallen back to the inner wall We haven't got a lot of time" "Those samurai bastards" "Asano must have just been waiting for us to leave Iron Town" "No I must find Lady Eboshi" "She is off hunting down the Forest Spirit" "Than someone has got to stop her Call her back" "If you're all done I want you out of here" "The rest of you, keep digging!" "Wait!" "What with the Iron Town" "That's right it's our home" "What do they expect us to do?" "Just abandon Iron Town" "You heard the boy." "We haven't a moment to lose" "Send a massage to Lady Eboshi" "The forest is too big..." "No messenger will have ever chance of finding her!" "Send down a hunter!" "What else should they've get for?" "Lady Eboshi is just being used by Jiko" "Tell me something when you fought with the boars" "Were there any wolves with them?" "Did you see San?" "The wolf girl" "I have no idea." "It was pitch black when the animals came at us" "She was there." "I saw her" "I was right in the front line I saw everything, everything" "What happened?" "I am not sure!" "Everything started happening so fast..." "It was like a nightmare" "Jiko's troops put as in front as bait to lure the boars in" "They didn't tell us about the land-mine is under our feet while the grenades coming in on top of us" "Where is she?" "Where is San?" "Take it easy I'm trying to get you out" "Aghh!" "There is a wolf over here!" "Hey, hurry!" "Young master, what are you doing?" "What is going on?" "Move!" "What do you think you're doing?" "I have got to find Lady Eboshi" "This wolf is gonna help me find her" "You're on their side!" "Aren't you, boy?" "Stand aside!" "What's more important to all of you... a head of the Forest Spirit or saving your town" "These darts are poisoned" "That's enough now" "Come on, let's get this thing off of him, all together now" "Look out!" "After you come through the swamp take cover by the lake until we get there" "Right!" "Be careful those riflemen are not Milady, belong to Jiko" "Here take these." "Where I'm going they won't be of any use" "You go with them Yakul" "Look after him!" "Find San!" "That's where we'll find Eboshi" "Come on." "Keep moving straight ahead" "Today we finish this" "Sir" "Yes?" "Ahh, have you spotted them?" "Okkoto is badly wounded... but he and the wolf girl are making their way to the realm of the Forest Spirit" "So they are going to beg him for his help, are they?" "Keep after them, but stay out of sight..." "Or you will frighten the Forest Spirit away" "Yes, sir." "I understand" "That was boar's blood painted on his face, wasn't it?" "Aha, little trade secret" "Don't wanna smell human" "We are almost to the pool of the Forest Spirit" "Just a little further Keep going" "What was that?" "Lord Okkoto something is wrong We have to keep moving" "Something is out there" "What?" "There is so much blood in the air I can't smell it" "I should have known it was you" "You did this" "Because of you the forest will die" "You're wrong we've all been fighting to save it" "This is the thanks you give us?" "You bring bad things" "Bad things coming." "Neither human nor animal" "What do you mean neither human or animal" "They're coming!" "It's the end for us!" "The warriors" "They've come back" "My warriors" "They have come back to me from the land of the dead!" "Forward my warriors!" "Lord Okkoto listen" "Forward to the pool of the Forest Spirit" "No wait" "No Lord Okkoto your warriors haven't come back to you" "Those are humans wearing the skins of your warriors to hide their scent" "It's a trick" "Don't you understand" "It's just a human trick to get us to lead them to the Forest Spirit" "Come out the Forest Spirit... if you are truly Master here give my warriors the power to slay the humans... and be victorious!" "No, Lord Okkoto!" "Please, you've got to listen!" "San they are all around us Okkoto's done for, leave him!" "No!" "I won't let him turn into a demon like Nago did" "Tell mother that the humans are setting a trap for the Forest Spirit" "She'll know what to do" "You've got to hurry or it can mean the end to all of us" "Go on now" "Stay back or you'll die and then this whole forest will se just what you are" "Ashitaka?" "Back!" "I burn!" "The flames are growing inside of me" "You must fight it Don't let yourself become a demon" "Lord Okkoto" "What is it?" "Is it San?" "She is in danger" "Let's go" "I'm fired" "No I don't want to become a demon" "Please Lord Okkoto" "Too slow!" "Get on!" "A wolf!" "Eboshi!" "You keep going!" "Eboshi!" "I have something to say" "Hold your fire!" "What is it you want?" "Lord Asano's samurai have attacked Iron Town" "The women are outnumbered" "They can't hold them off for long Forget about the Forest Spirit" "Your man are already heading back to Iron Town" "But they need you to lead them!" "What proof is there this isn't a lie" "Lie!" "Don't be ridiculous!" "What reason do I have to lie?" "So it's 'don't kill the Forest God' now you want us to kill samurai instead" "No!" "What I want is for the humans and the forest to live in peace" "Just whose side is he on, anyway?" "Shouldn't we go back?" "The women are on their own now I've done all I can for them" "They can take care of themselves" "There is the pool Kuroku told us about" "The creature must be somewhere near by" "It's a moment of truth, boys So keep your eyes peeled" "Why do we need that woman, sir?" "When you're going to kill a god Let someone else do your dirty work" "Moro!" "What happened to you?" "San!" "It's me" " Ashitaka!" "San!" "Ashitaka!" "Okkoto... turned to a demon" "Leve, boy" "Fight me and the Forest spirit will never come" "Lord Okkoto!" "Calm your fury!" "Allmighty Lord let me have the girl I beg of you!" "Please let her go" "San!" "Are you there!" "?" "!" "It's me Ashitaka" "San!" "Aghhh!" "Kill him!" "San!" "Stop him." "He'll ruin everything!" "San!" "San!" "San!" "Ashitaka!" "San!" "Ashitaka!" "Here I was saving the last of my strength... to bite off that damned woman's head... but I must save San" "Close ranks!" "Use your grenades!" "Stay all here" "Don't touch him" "He's no longer a god" "You can't even speak, can you?" "Well done, men Now fall back and get the wounded out of here" "Go on!" "Ohh, what a revolting spectacle" "It's him" "Give me back my daughter, demon" "Ashitaka..." "Can you save the girl you love?" "The Forest Spirit" "Eboshi hold your fire!" "Eboshi!" "Your enemy is not the Forest Spirit!" "But that should have killed it" "He's a god it'll take more than one shot" "San!" "Don't die!" "I don't get it the Great Forest Spirit took their lives away" "Quick!" "He's starting to change" "Now watch closely, everyone I'm going to show you how to kill a god" "A god of life and death" "The trick is not to fear him" "No!" "Stop!" "Eboshi!" "You will die!" "She did it!" "Quick go and get the head!" "Quick, Jiko!" "Bring me that box of yours!" "Porters are all dead!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Be careful not to touch the Spirit's body" "It'll suck the life out of you" "Here it is..." "One head, as promised" "Watch out!" "Milady!" "I told you a wolf's head can still bite" "Come on!" "We better get out of here!" "Hurry!" "It's coming, sir!" "Run!" "Gonza, you better get to the island!" "Island?" "I can't swim!" "Then walk along the bottom" "Give her to me!" "I'll cut her throat!" "Your claim has been avenged You mother saw to that" "Lady Eboshi!" "Help me!" "Don't waste your sympathy" "I promised Toki that I'll bring you back to Iron Town" "He's searching or his head" "We can't stay here" "San... you have got to help us" "No!" "You are on her side!" "You always were" "Take that damn woman and just go away!" "San" "Never!" "I hate all of you, humans!" "Yes I'm human, San... and so are you" "Stop it!" "I'm a wolf!" "You hear?" "San" "Stay back!" "I'm sorry" "I tried to stop it" "It's over Everything is over" "The forest is dead" "Nothingis over" "The two of us are still alive" "Now, will you help me, San?" "Help us!" "A little crisis and they panic." "No!" "No!" "The way!" "?" "!" "This way!" "The head is moving" "It's falling onto us" "There you go, Toki It shouldn't jam anymore" "Thanks" "It's awfully quiet" "Asano is waiting for sunrise" "I wonder if that young man ever found Lady Eboshi" "Don't worry about him" "He found her all right They'll be marching over that hill any minute now" "Big dope Don't ask me why I love him" "Hey, Koroku!" "Oh, let him sleep, Toki." "While he can" "What's that?" "I don't know..." "But I don't like it" "It's the night-walker" "Everybody hold your positions" "Toki!" "It's coming right on us!" "Run!" "We've got to go" "No!" "We promised Lady Eboshi we would defend Iron Town" "Look over there he's come back!" "Get everyone out!" "The Great Spirit's head has been cut off and he wants it back!" "If that black ooze touches you, you're dead!" "Run for the lake!" "The water will slow it down!" "Lady Eboshi and the men are on their way from the other side!" "I'm going to try to return his head... before he kills us all" "Hurry!" "Oh!" "It's too fast!" "What are we gonna do now?" "What!" "It will kill us all!" "That's enough!" "Get everyone down to the lake" "And stay calm" "Come on" "We can carry the sick and the wounded" "Faster!" "No that way!" "Stop!" "There it goes!" "We're done for" "Once the forge burns." "That's it That'll be the end of Iron Town" "We're still alive, Koroku" "We'll manage somehow Now let's go!" "There they are!" "Go!" "Stop right there!" "Wow!" "Oh, you're both alive Oh, how nice" "I'm giving the creature back its head" "Put the box down and back away!" "Give the head back now!" "?" "!" "Come on, boy!" "Don't be silly!" "Now when the sun is about to come up?" "Look." "He is a brainless, swollen life-sucking god of death" "At sunrise he'll vanish like a bad dream" "Sir it's coming!" "We've got to get out of here!" "Look everybody wants everything" "That's the way the world is but I might actually get it" "Don't force me to kill you" "Oh, dear..." "You make it sound so very easy" "You're really out of... relax!" "Get going!" "Ashitaka!" "I got it!" "Wow!" "Everything is..." "under...control" "This is bad" "master we're surrounded!" "Come, on sun!" "Rise!" "Open the box!" "Don't you see?" "It's too late for that now" "Why you're wasting your breath talking to him?" "Humans hands must return it!" "Don't say I didn't warned you" "Forest Spirit... we give you back your head!" "Take it and be at peace!" "Ahh, well, is that guy's detection all right?" "Well I think it's over" "Look it's the men" "The men!" "The men are back!" "Hello!" "I really can't believe we've made it" "I've never thought I would live to see home again" "Milady!" "You're here!" "Be careful." "Miladyship has been injured!" "Look!" "It's on Iron Town" "Hang on tight everybody!" "Don't let go!" "Ah, I didn't know the Forest Spirit made the flowers grow" "San." "San, look" "Even if all the trees return It' won't be his forest anymore" "The Great Forest Spirit is dead now" "Never he is life itself" "He is not dead, San He's here right now" "Trying to tell us something" "That it is time for both of us to live" "Ashitaka, you mean so much to me... but I can't forgive the humans for what they've done" "I understand You'll live in the forest and..." "I will go up to rebuild Iron Town" "I'll always be near" "Yakul and I will come and visit you whenever we can." "All right?" "Amazing." "The wolf and that crazy, little, wolf girl helped save us all" "Ashitaka." "Can someone find him?" "I need to thank him" "We're going to start all over again" "This time we'll build a better town" "Well, I give up... you can't win against fools" "(original version)" "VOICES" "Ashitaka MATSUDA Yoji San ISHI DA Yuriko" "Lady Eboshi TANAKA Yuko Jiko KOBAYASHI Kaoru" "Koroku NISHI MURA Masahiko Gonza KAMIJYO Tsunehiko" "Moro MIWA Akihiro Oracle MORI Mitsuko" "Okkoto MORISHIGE Hisaya" "Chief Executive Producer TOKUMA Yasuyoshi" "Executive Producers UJlE Seiichiro  NARITA Yutaka" "Original Story and Screenplay by MIYAZAKI Hayao" "Original Music by HISAISHI Joe" "Producer SUZUKI Toshio" "Theme song "Mononoke Hime" Lyrics by MIYAZAKI Hayao, Music by HISAISHI Joe" "Performed by MERA Yoshikazu" "Produced by Tokuma Shoten" "Nippon Television Network" "Dentsu and Studio Ghibli" "Directed by MIYAZAKI Hayao" "English Translation by Steve ALPERT, MORIYOSHI Haruyo and Ian MACDOUGALL"
