"TOE!" "COMPANY, LTD." "Both of you have parents of your own." "But as of today, you'll become Boss Tobei's own and vow absolute loyalty to him with this exchange of wine cups." "That will mean placing the family above all else and giving up your life for your boss." "On my honor." "Your boss' life is mine!" "This won't be any pleasure trip." "It'll be rough." "Consider it a rite of passage for you to manhood." "I bid you farewell, boss, and wish you well, ma'am." "Thank you, and you take care, too." "I'll go now." "This is fine." "Okayo." "Here, it's a charm." "I'll be back in three years, Okayo." "I promise." "I feel like he's going far away." "He'll be back, Okayo."

"Bastard...!" "Bad move." "Sir, that chest belongs to the house." "You can't take it." "I have to object, on behalf of my hosts." "I'm asking you to leave it." "No dice." "Do you want to get hurt, too?" "You just don't get it." "GIANT RU M RUMBLE" "Hey, traveler." "We've got a job for you." "We're looking for fighters." "How does 1 we 3 bu sound?" "Shouldn't you introduce yourselves first?" "You're right." "We're family of Akaiwa Kamezo of Komoro." "The Akaiwa?" "We're taking on Katsuba Tobei of Odai." "Boss Akaiwa and Boss Katsuba are brothers." "Why are they fighting?" "There was a falling out and Boss Akaiwa cut ties." "So we're looking into recruiting fighters for a final showdown." "You're asking the wrong man." "Hey, hold on!" "Aren't you Harina Hideji of the Katsuba?" "Remember me?" "I'm Matsukura Hanji of the Sasajima." "Here's payback for what you did to my boss!" "Hold on." "The boss died from his wound, and the Sasajima broke up!" "Things haven't changed at all in three years." "I still smell blood in the air." "Shut up and draw!" "Chill!" "No senseless fighting in the middle of the day." "Bastard!" "Ralao), Hanji." "We'll make a bloody mess of him." "Shall we go, folks?" "Hey, hold on." "Did you say 1 we 3 bu hr my services?" "That's right." "1 "N 3 bu, eh?" "I'll ask my partner." "What partner?" "A buddy of mine." "What do you say?" "Well?" "Figures." "There you have it." "Hey!" "You move fast." "I'll see what the Katsuba are paying." "The rate for fighters is going up." "Why settle for a measly 1 ryo 3 bu?" "The market's bustling." "And this is just the first day." "We'll have our supply moved in no time." "We have a bigger crowd this year, so make a killing." "Thank you, and here." "Take a good look." "Yuki!" "Going off to see that gambler?" "Stop acting like a bitch in heat!" "Do you want that lice to suck you dry?" "Don't talk like that about Yoshi, Dad!" "You're blinded by love." "You'll be sorry" "Well, I won't come crying to you, Dad!" "Yuki!" "You fool." "Hey!" "pops'." "I'm wonted about you, Yoshi." "You seem so reckless lately." "That yellow belly brother is making me look bad." "I have to prove I'm nothing like him." "But he's your only brother." "Stop that!" "What are you doing?" "Stop...!" "As of today, the Akaiwa are in charge of the silk market." "But the Katsuba are." "We'll see about that." "So pay up for today." "I'll pay you nothing!" "Damn you!" "Show him what happens when he defies the Akaiwa." "Shall I butcher him?" "Sure." "We have to set an example." "Right, bro?" "Someone help...!" "Cut the crap, you thugs!" "I'll take him!" "You guys here to pick a fight?" "Hold it!" "The Akaiwa are here to disrupt the silk market!" "You bastards!" "You guys break it up!" "You butt out, bro!" "That's enough, Yoshitaro!" "Fine brothers they are." "Why!" "YOU!" "Stop it, please...!" "Hold it, you guys!" "Bunji?" "Hideji." "H")?" "The Akaiwa are here to pick a fight with us." "Butt out, or I'll take you out, friend or foe!" "Since when do yakuza trouble regular folks?" "Sony for the ruckus, folks." "We'll settle it elsewhere." "Settle it?" "How?" "Never mind." "Get him!" "Settle down!" "Let me handle this, bro." "Fine." "Come on." "We'll settle this between us elsewhere." "Fine." "Hideji." "Sony for the commotion, folks." "Can?" "on." "How much for a fighter, bro?" "We don't fight." "We don't need fighters." "We won't trouble anyone here." "Well?" "Is it settled?" "Now get lost." "Get lost!" "Hideji!" "Yoshi?" "Is that you?" "Take a look." "So you're family now." "What about your brother?" "He's no brother of mine." "I don't care." "Ino, what's that about?" "Can't you see?" "Is that any way to greet family?" "I'm not a yakuza anymore." "I want to talk to you, Hideji, alone." "You can talk after you let the boss see you." "I'm home, boss." "Come in here." "I can't believe your wife is gone." "It's been a year." "A lot': changed while you've been away." "Why did the Akaiwa cut ties with you, boss?" "They're after my turf." "Forget yakuza code and honor." "They're just after money." "The year after you left, the Sasajima broke up." "The Akaiwa took in the men and came at us." "They've been harassing us, every which way." "Those dirtbags." "They're a despicable lot." "I took all I can from them." "But I couldn't let them disrupt the silk market." "They're rounding up men for one big fight with us." "We can't get drawn in." "I know." "No fights until the silk market is over." "I'm going to ask Joshu-ya to help keep them at bay." "Run over there, Bunji." "Why did Inosuke become a lawman?" "He wanted out of the family and left." "Don't you go dredging up the past." "Where are you going?" "You've no place to go." "Wait!" "Are you really going?" "Don't go!" " What's the idea?" " Be quiet, whore." "How do you think you got to stay here, broke and busted?" "You pay off what I owe with your body." "The Akaiwa are after the Odai silk market." "So they're looking for a big fight." "I'll gladly support a brother." "Thank you." "I'll let my boss know right away." "Hey, samurai." "You pay her before you go." "But I'm broke." "What?" "You should get rid of vermin." "Why, you...!" "Are you the boss here?" "Why don't you hire me." "I could be useful." "Not after you hacked up one of my own." "Are you sure?" "What?" "I overheard you." "One side will go down in a big fight, maybe both sides." "You're getting a deal." "We'll discuss it after you do a job for me." "You pit the Katsuba and Akaiwa against each other." "Boss." "I don't see your daughter Okayo around." "How is she?" "I told you not to dredge up the past." "Hideji!" "What are you doing here?" "This is Oyuki." "Nice girl." "Yoshi." "Is Inosuke back home?" "Yes." "He can't bring himself to face you." "Why not?" "Why would you say that about your brother?" "Don't make me tell you, bro." "Hey, Ino." "What the hell is this, Ino?" "Ino?" "!" "Come." "Thanks." "You don't want to catch a cold." "I wonder how Hideji is doing." "Okayo." "No, let me go!" "I love you, Okayo." "I love you." "No, no...!" "Hideji...!" "You bastard!" "What kind of man takes his brother's woman?" "!" "Ino!" "Say what you like about me." "I loved Okayo and wanted to make her happy." "What?" "You mean to say I could never make her happy?" "You couldn't, not so long as you were a yakuza." "I realized that when I got out of the yakuza life." "A yakuza's life of pride, honor and strict codes is no kind of life for a man." "I know I'm asking a lot, but let Okayo be." "Please." "Please, Hideji." "I can't!" "The only thing that kept me going on the road, these past three years, was Okayo." "Okayo is mine, and I swear I'll get her back." "Hideji...!" "I don't ever want to speak to you again!" "Hideji." "Okayo." "Go to Hideji if you like." "Dear." "What a fool I was, clinging onto a dream." "It's on me." "This stuff beats a woman anytime." "Hideji here?" "Here it comes." "Here he is!" "Here's the payback, Hideji!" "Hey, no fighting in here!" "Bastard!" "That bastard!" "You guys can't take him." "Who are you?" "You can't go back without a fight." "Akaiwa won't be happy." "Will you put him out for us?" "Our boss will pay you." "I don't want money." "What do you want then?" "Your lives!" "Excuse me." "Sir?" "No time for a nap, sir." "I say, with their men dead, the Akaiwa won't stand tor it." "We're good for 2 ryo, maybe 3 ryo." "What do you say?" "It's our fight, boss." "No one': coming to Katsuba': aid." "I'd love to see their sorry faces." "It's a raid!" "A raid, boss!" "What?" "It's just one guy." "I'm not here to fight." "I have a favor to ask of Boss Akaiwa." "What do you want?" "Will you put off the fight till the silk market's over?" "Turning chicken?" "I'm talking to Boss Akaiwa, not you, punk." "Well, boss?" "Put off the fight, after you hacked off my men?" "You're wrong." "Your men weren't killed by a Katsuba." "Why should I believe you?" "I give you my word." "I don't trust you." "Word is you're the one that killed my men, Hideji." "What?" "So you just won't believe me?" "Stop quibbling!" "I'll just have to give up a finger and show you." "Hah!" "A lousy finger won't settle anything." "What?" "If you're finished, get the hell out of here." "Hey, I've had enough of your crap!" "I'm here to talk it out, yakuza to yakuza." "A lot of good that'll do you." "Power is what counts to us yakuza." "Only the strong survive." "Cut the BS or we'll hack you up!" "Get lost." "Get lost!" "Don't move, or this guy's dead." "Pa...!" "You dirty rat!" "Who's the dirty rat?" "If you insist on being unreasonable, you leave me no choice." "Pa...!" "Taichi!" "What are you going to do to my son?" "Since you won't talk," "I'll take him until the silk market's over." "Pa...!" "Fools!" "What if he harms Taichi?" "This can't be." "Just my luck." "I thought I was going to be in the money." "Woe is me." "He took your son hostage?" "Please, Joshu-ya." "Taichi is my only son." "One wrong move and I'll risk his life." "Use your influence and help me." "Even the fierce Akaiwa Kamezo is a softy when it comes to his kid." "What's one kid when a lucative prize like the silk market is at stake?" "What are you talking about, brother." "Hah!" "You're always mouthing off about having my back." "Don't worry." "Leave it to me." "Want something?" "Maybe and maybe not." "You pulled off a stunt today." "But I'll see that the Katsuba and Akaiwa are both out for blood." "What?" "Don't think a hostage is going to stave it off." "What do you have against us?" "Nothing, personally." "I just want to get rid of all you vermin yakuza." "Why!" "YOU." "Hold it!" "What's going on here?" "You stay out of this." "Hideji." "You, too." "I want you both out of this town." "What?" "There's been nothing but bloody trouble since you two showed up here." "So you two get out of town." "Are you blaming us?" "What?" "You know dam well how useless that thing is, Ino." "I'm putting my life on the line, trying to prevent an all-out fight." "Or am I an eyesore to you or what?" "An eyesore, for sure." "What?" "Hideji!" "Come on." "The boss is waiting to visit his wife's grave." "Sorry" "What's up?" "I won't take orders from you." "Or let things go your way." "Show these folks to the market." "This way, sirs." "I'll nail you yet." "We'll see about that." "Okayo." "Go on and join the boss at your mother's grave." "Go on." "Dad." "Dad...!" "Boss." "She's no daughter of mine." "Okayo." "You and the boss can't go on like this." "Come back to him." "I love my dad, but I won't go back to the yakuza life." "Okayo." "Forget about this all-out fight, Hideji." "Please." "I don't want anything to happen to you." "Don't worry about me." "You must hate me." "No, I still love you." "Oh, Mom." "What am I supposed to do...?" "Okayo." "Who are you?" "A"!" "YOU Okayo?" "I was waiting for you." "Is this what your son is worth?" "I could tum her over to the Katsuba." "Wait, I'll pay you." "Whatever you want." "Okayo?" "Okayo?" "I came to talk." "I want Okayo." "So you took her." "What?" "Where did you take her?" "What are you talking about?" "I came to reason with you." "What's the matter?" "The Akaiwa have Sis." "What?" "They want Taichi in exchange for Sis." "Hold on." "Are you going to the Akaiwa?" "They're yakuza." "You can't deal with them." "Who dragged Okayo into a yakuza fight?" "Okayo is my wife." "Take the Akaiwa up on it, Boss." "But that will mean an all-out fight." "A losing fight at that." "We know that." "Okayo is regular folk." "We can't get her mixed up in our troubles." "It's not the yakuza way." "No." "I've disowned her, but she's still my daughter." "I can't give up my turf just for her." "Boss!" "A yakuza's turf is his life." "No, no...!" "Dear!" "Dear...!" "Save me...!" "Fujino!" "Dear...!" "Dear...!" "Forgive me." "Sir?" "Sir!" "The boss is calling you." "Give me back my Okayo." "You just don't get it." "Like I said, anytime, when you give me back my Taichi." "What's that got to do with Okayo?" "Okayo is my wife, and regular folk." "She may be your wife, but she's Tobei's daughter to us." "Fine." "I'll use my authority as lawman to take her." "She isn't here." "Why!" "YOU!" "Come along." "Where are you taking me?" "Where's Okayo?" "She won't go back to you." "What?" "See what it's like to have another man take your woman." "How wretched and sordid it is." "No!" "It wasn't like that with Okayo and me." "Sure it was." "It wasn't, you bastard!" "Bro"?" "Boss." "I'm sorry, Ino." "That bastard, Akaiwa!" "Yoshitaro!" "No, Yoshi." "Let me go!" "You, fool!" "You can't go there alone." "I'll see that Inosuke rests in peace." "Bro"!" "Boss." "Bunji, go tell the Akaiwa they can have Taichi." "Yes, sir." "This is one fight that's been a long time coming." "We release them both on the count of three." "Fine." "One!" "Two !" "Three!" "What the...?" "!" "Throw down your sword." "You low-down rats!" "You can take my life right here and now." "But you let Okayo go." "Hideji...!" "If you call yourself a man, just give it to me." "Not in the back, either." "Right upfront." "Release her." "We have orders from the boss." "Don't go to fight." "It's too late to tum back now, Okayo." "No, it isn't too late for you to leave town." "I can't do that." "Why not?" "I should have gone with you, three years ago." "If only I'd been stronger." "Okayo." "Ino is dead." "Had he lived, I would have left town with you." "But now that he's dead, you're his grieving widow." "He gave his life trying to save you." "You have to be strong, Okayo." "Both the Katsuba and Akaiwa want my aid." "You've managed to pit them against each other." "Does that mean my job is done?" "No way." "It only starts now." "You know how it goes with yakuza fights." "There's a show of force, then a reconciliation." "I can't have that." "I want you to tum it into a drag-out fight, where they knock each other out." "That's when I come in and take over." "Just like that?" "Just you see." "CHALLENGE" "TO AKAIWA KAMEZO" "We accept your challenge." "Get ready!" "I've come to your aid, bro." "Oh, it's you." "How much will you pay me?" "Take it." "Three ryo?" "Damn right, I will." "You have to know friend from foe in a fight." "So all of you wear these tags." "Don't ever take on foes by yourself." "Where is that Joshu-ya." "We meet up here when it's all over." "Your girl's here." "Yoshi!" "What are you doing here?" "Don't go fight." "Please!" "Please don't go to the fight." "You'll die." "Please, Yoshi." "A yakuza has to fight, Oyuki." "I have to avenge my brother." "I have to go." ""B, no!" "Who cares about the yakuza way?" "I only care about you, Yoshi!" "Please, Yoshi." "What would a woman know?" "I'm going." "No matter howl beg you?" "No matter!" "Stupid!" "Bro"?" "Don't go to the fight." "What?" "Don't go, I said." "But"!" "Don't you know how much that girl cares about you?" "Bu'!" "h"!" "u'.!" "Yoshi." "You can't tell me what to do!" "Listen to me." "No!" "Yoshi!" "Boss"?" "You can't go, Yoshi." "Let's get going." "Hanji back yet?" "No." "I sent him to spy on the Katsuba." "He's late." "Hold it!" "Get him!" "Let's go!" "You guys stay right here." "It's a fight!" "Don't run!" "Kill all deserters!" "This is where we get lost, buddy." "No, you didn't." "Don't scare me like that." "You, too, sir?" "No, don't...!" "Don't...!" "What a loser I am." "Sorry, buddy"!" "Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa...!" "Taichi!" "Yoshitaro!" "Boss!" "It's Boss Joshu-ya!" "Joshu-ya': here?" "Joshu-ya!" "Thanks for coming to my aid!" "Don't mention it." "Bro!" " Yuki!" " Yoshi!" "No!" "Yoshi!" "Yoshi!" "Yoshi...!" "Oh, Yoshi!" "Yoshi...!" "Yoshi!" "Yoshi...!" "The fools!" "Boss Joshu-ya!" "Tobei's dead." "Odai and Komoro are my turf now." "Want to join my family?" "What?" "I hate vermin." "Things turned out my way." "Come on, you bastard!" "You come on, wimp." "I finished off all the vermin, except for you." "You take care of Okayo." "THE END"
