"Today's program has just gotten started." "They're here!" "They're here!" "They're here!" "They're finally here!" "It's the bandits!" "How come there are so many of them?" "Fire!" "We did it!" "Hey!" "Bring some rope!" "Being able to understand each other, and to share with each other, are both as short-lived as a bubble on the water." "Obscured by the sands of time, unable to hold on," "I gave up, until I saw you again, asking" ""How much pain have you been carrying, all alone?" "And how much loneliness is hidden behind your eyes when you smile?"" "Embrace this miracle of an encounter now," "By gazing upon each other, we can become stronger." "And if this isn't what you call love, then what is it you call love now?" "Ukyo-sama, excuse me for disturbing your leisure time." "What is it?" "Our scout rapidturtle has an urgent matter for us." "Fine, come on in." "I beg your pardon." "What is it?" "She says an exchange of hostilities between the bandits and Kanna Village has begun." "Kanna Village?" "Oh, got it, got it, got it, got it!" "Have you forgotten?" "That is the village where the peasant girl, Kirara, is from." "Ah!" "Kirara-kun!" "So, Kirara-kun's village is at war with the bandits..." "Then, that means those samurai have arrived there." "We sent Hyogo and Kyuzo after them, but have not heard anything from them since." "We did discover a grave in the desert, however, and when we uncovered it, there was Hyogo's body." "You violated a grave?" "That was a pretty audacious thing to do, huh?" "Judging by the wounds he sustained, his killer must have been quite skillful." "Since Kyuzo is still unaccounted for, we can assume the worst." "Have you told Father?" "Not yet." "Keep this to yourself." "Oh, and you can stop the samurai hunts." "As you wish." "You're alive, aren't you, Kirara-kun?" "Tessai, I want you to tell me everything we know about Kanna Village." "Just you watch." "Something is about to happen that will turn the whole world upside-down." "As you can see, we're handing' the samurai over to you bandits." "Please forgive us." "Well, if it isn't Kyuzo." "To think that you could sink so low..." "You, too." "I've sunk low?" "You're a miserable dog, being kept by peasants!" "Kyuzo aside, there should be six other samurai." "What happened to the other three?" "We tried to kill them, but they snuck away." "It was the samurai that taught us how to use a bow and arrow." "As a result, we've realized the magnitude of what we've done, and chased the samurai off instead." "This isn't getting us anywhere." "Take them." "Hidden rice, eh?" "What're you doin'?" "!" "You're going to serve as an example to the other villages." "Just a minute!" "If we're gone, what's gonna happen to the rice?" "We can get rice someplace else." "Listen to what we're sayin', please!" "Even supposing you have had a change of heart, you're going to find out firsthand just how serious an offense it is to shoot arrows at us." "You will experience an eternity of pain, where you will beg for death to come, but your wish will not be granted." "Please wait, Bandit-sama!" "Spare us!" "Bandit-sama!" "Please wait!" "Mikumari-sama!" "Mikumari-sama..." "Please, if you could wait..." "Mikumari-sama..." "You are the girl who went all the way to Kogakyo to hire the samurai, aren't you?" "Yes." "What do you want?" "In exchange for my life, I ask that you please turn a blind eye to this village." "You're saying you'd make an offering of yourself?" "Yes." "You bandits are right to be so angry." "It would be a simple matter for you to crush the village in your anger." "However, that would make you no different than so many other defeated warriors, don't you think?" "If there is even a shred of proud samurai left within you, you only prove how petty you are by turning your anger toward such a tiny village as ours." "Enough!" "You think that your silver tongue can get you out of this situation?" "Most commendable." "Girl, I accept your life." "Take her!" "You think that one little girl is going to placate our anger?" "She did call us defeated warriors, and all..." "Mikumari-sama..." "Grandfather!" "You will now be taken to the capital." "The capital?" "!" "What are you so surprised at?" "Did you think that everyone else would still be here?" "They desire both rice and women in the capital." "Then, all of the other women that you've taken away up to now are there?" "They're grateful, too." "They're much more content there than in your village." "How can you say they are content, separated from their families like that?" "!" "You will find that out for yourself." "Ascend to the surface." "This is the last you'll see of your village." "Take a good look." "This is the end for Kanna Village, who dared make a mockery of us." "That's not what we agreed to!" "You said that in exchange for my life..." "Hold on, all I said was that I would accept your life." "And you... you call yourself a samurai?" "!" "Samurai are relics of the past." "Please stop, Bandit-sama!" "Whew, it felt like I had turned into rice!" "I'm afraid that this could turn into a habit for you, Hei-san the rice-lover." "Am I right?" "Very perceptive." "I'd like to cut these right open, and have some more of this delicious rice." "Heihachi, you take engineering." "Understood." "All right, let's go." "Hey, you...!" "Why, you...!" "I'll take the first strike!" "Heihachi, go!" "I'm going!" "Us too!" "Kikuchiyo, let's go!" "You have to go to the toilet?" "You're our prisoner, here" "Why, you...!" "Now then, to put our lives on the market..." "What, you can't even get out of your ropes?" "I never learned to be a street performer." "I can't get over the difference here." "Bring us closer." "Stop!" "Please, stop, Bandit-sama!" "Just sit still and watch." "Report this to Shuzai-sama!" "Shichiroji!" "Got it!" "Why, you...!" "Let's go." "I- incredible..." "Here!" "Aren't you going to help?" "!" "Katsushiro!" "Stay out of this!" "That's the spirit!" "I..." "I am a samurai!" "Let's go." "Whoa...!" "What's wrong with the engines?" "!" "At this rate, we're going to go down!" "Go check it out!" "Hurry!" "Who's there?" "!" "Yo!" "I've been waiting for you!" "You maggot!" "Hold it!" "Kanbe-sama!" "You tricked us!" "Even so..." "The Raiden Squad is here!" "You've shown off quite a bit for us, but this is where it ends!" "We're not done yet!" "Let's run wild on them!" "Chop them up!" "Why, you...!" "Hold it" "Kyuzo!" "Stay here for now!" "Right!" "Here." "Oh, thank you!" "Samurai united!" "Meet Kikuchiyo!" "Now that my head and body are reconnected" "Katsushiro-sama..." "Hey, guys!" "Leave some for me!" "Katana... katana...!" "Kyuzo!" "Kyu-noji!" "Kyuzo!" "The bandits' vital point is their chests!" "Miserable samurai!" "A gun!" "Watch out!" "Kyuzo-dono!" "Why, you...!" "Kanbe-sama!" "Kirara-dono!" "Who's service were you in during the great war?" "Judging by how low you've fallen, they must have been ruined." "Everyone!" "Move quickly!" "Hei-san!" "We're going to crash!" "Shichiroji, find us a way out!" "You got it!" "You get going, too!" "We made it!" "Just a second!" "H- how come?" "Hold it steady!" "Kanbe-sama!" "Rotten samurai!" "I am indeed a samurai." "Thanks!" "You're late, Kanbe!" "All right, let's go!" "Hey, thanks..." "So this is how I finally end up, huh?" "Looks like old age is finally catching up to Shichi-san." "If you don't like it, I can always let go!" "Whoa!" "I didn't mean anything by it!" "The old man merely gazed off into the distance from the hideaway in which he lived." "The baby cries, seeking only for the warmth of his mother." "We are born paying the price for someone's punishment, for someone's sins, but there is no such thing as a future without salvation, and the present slips quietly into the past." "We string together nothing but hollow ideas, and tell nothing but hollow lies." "And as the rain falls down upon us, something appears and then fades away." "It's Okara." "Today, as a special treat, I'm coming to you together with Komachi." "I've come to have a little better opinion about your sister." "Oh?" "How come?" "Well, after all, handing over your life to the bandits can't be all that easy to do." "Sister has been acting a little strange since Katsu-noji cut down that bandit." "She's brooding over something or other." "I'm kind of scared for her." "Maybe your sister is trying to help save Katsu-noji." "Help save him?" "I don't get it." "A child wouldn't understand." "Okara-chan, you're so grown-up!" "And so, the samurai are doing better than I expected." "Our rice must be good stuff after all."
