"I do not know the situation you were in, but I know you could have avoided it." "Stand up,jubei." "Draw!" "I will not make special allowances for you." "I warned you that I would not treat you differently than any other foe." "But I know you will never harm me, because I am your father." "There is one other thing that I know." "]Ubeﬂ" "You must always win, even if you must exploit the love between father and son." "That is just good tactics." "You are strong; however, you must compensate for your reckless sword and now your left eye." "Strength alone is not enough to make one a Samurai." "There will be no more war from now on." "I have made the Yagyu the best swordsmen injapan." "But this superiority exists only when the sword is sheathed." "It is not the way of a good swordsman merely to be strong and to kill."

"Despite being blind in one eye," "Munenori's son,jubei Yagyu, was said to be the rebirth ofSekishusai Yagyu, who was the father of the Yagyu brotherhood of swordsmen." "However, history remains quiet regarding the deaths of these warriors." "Little is said about Musashi, who died alone in the mountains of Kumamoto, or Mataemon Araki, who was poisoned after the Duel of Kagiya Corner." "As the age ofwar and the Tokugawa period were coming to an end, the history of these great warriors was left unfinished." "Their motivations, their dreams and their inspiration remain unknown." "No, no!" "I said no!" "Not that way!" "Go over there!" "No!" "What are you doing?" "Idiot!" "Idiot!" "Be quiet!" "If you keep yelling all the fish are going to run away!" "Don't talk to me like that!" "The children around here are very energetic." "There!" "Yataro!" "You can do it!" "I got them!" "I got them!" "Good job." "Well, I think we have enough." "Let's go home." "Hurry up or we'll be late for practice." "Why that..." "Ya ta ro!" "I made you mad, didn't I?" "Hey, Yata ro, wait!" "No, I'm not stopping!" "Wait, Yata ro!" "You can't catch me!" "I'm over here!" "I said wait, Yataro!" "Jubei, help me!" "Onui, it is just a grass snake." "It is not poisonous." "My sister isn't afraid of snakes at all!" "Shejust wants an excuse to be close tojubei!" "jubei!" "jubei!" "There's nothing wrong with that." "ls there?" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "Anyone?" "Is anyone home?" "Is this place empty?" "What is going on in this castle?" "Really." "Oh,jushin Sekiguchi." "Welcome." "Don't "welcome" me." "Why has this place fallen into such ruin?" "This is a disgrace to the Yagyu family." "Yes,jubei has not really been taking care of things." "I see." "I will have to speak to him then." "Father!" "Idiots!" "You are the daughter of a Samurai family, and you've been hunting snakes and rolling around in the mud!" "What are you doing?" "Yata ro!" "You too!" "You are the heir, and you were out catching fish!" "Do not be so hard on them." "The Tokugawa regime is stable, and there will be no more wars." "Have a drink." "No one has a right to think that way,jubei." "First of all, one born to a Samurai family..." "What is the matter, Lordjushin?" "Stop talking about those sorts of things and try the fish Onui and Yataro caught." "Please make yourself at home and relax." "Oh, is this Ohina?" "You have really grown into a beautiful, graceful young woman!" "Lordjubei, this is yours." "Thank you." "Compared to you, Onui is foolish." "She is trying to win me over with this fish." "This is good!" "By the way, Lordjushin, what brings you out here in the middle of the mountains so unexpectedly?" "Of course, let me explain." "Tomorrow I must take Ohina and Onui back to Kishu with me." "No!" "I won't go." "I want to stay close tojubei." "No!" "This is by mandate of Lord Yorinobu Tokugawa, Dainagon of the Tokugawa." "Lord Yorinobu?" "He has ordered all the clans' daughters between ages 15 and 22 brought to him." "That is a strange request." "Is he going to take a mistress?" "No!" "Well, to be honest, I do not really understand the order." "Not to speak out of turn, but recently he seems to burn with ambition." "I see." "He has been amassing soldiers and food, and a tax increase is rumored." "He has terminated many long-term and loyal servants." "And there is a continuous stream of strangers coming to his castle." "What does that have to do with his collecting girls?" "I do not know ifit is related, but there have been many young girls missing from the village recently." "It sounds dangerous." "I think it would be better to leave the two girls here than take them with you." "I would like to do that, of course, but I have orders directly from My Lord to bring them as soon as possible." "I see." "Well, these two should be fine." "Their mastery of martial arts is better than that of most of the Samurai here." "In fact, why don't you stay and watch the sparring match tomorrow." "Both have improved." "That's a good idea!" "I've already witnessed Onui's improved ability to catch snakes and fish, but I would much rather see that ability applied to her martial arts." "You'll see, you'll see." "What's wrong?" "Hurry up and eat or your food will get cold." "He's right." "Everyone hurry up and eat!" "Come on!" "Begin!" "I surrender!" "Good!" "Onui, you're next." "Ready!" "Remember she's not a snake!" "Begin!" "These two are a good match." "Match end!" "Both of you have done well under ]ubei's instruction." "I enjoyed it." "It was an excellent match." "Well, Lordjushin, take care." "You too,jubei." "Thank you for giving me shelter for so long." "Is that a momento for Botaro?" "Yes." "]Ubeﬂ" "Be sure to take a bath at least once every three days and change clothes." "You too." "You should prepare to be a bride and find a good husband." "When I was eight years old, you promised me that I would be your bride." "I did?" "When did I say that?" "Enough, Onui!" "Don't annoyjubei." "That's right." "Jubei wants a graceful princess as his bride, not a tomboy like you." "Yataro, you know a lot, don't you?" "Yataro!" "What did you say?" "Wait!" "Sister!" "Don't become anyone's mistress!" "I'm surejubei will be waiting for you when you return!" "Thank you!" "Tessai, who do we have in Kishu now?" "Saj u ro" "Contact him immediately." "Tell him not to take his eyes offWakayama Castle." "Is something wrong?" "I think so." "I'll be gone for four or five days." "I'm leaving things in your hands." "Yes, Sir." "You do that every night without getting bored, don't you?" "What?" "You did it last night as well." "But tonight I'm not in the mood." "Instead," "I feel like killing rats." "What's the matter?" "ls our game oftag over already?" "When the authorities discover what you are doing, you will pay!" "But if you die, there will be no one to tell them." "I don't know about that." "How amusing." "I am Mataemon Araki." "I have been wanting to kill someone for a long time now." "Impossible!" "Mataemon Araki died over three months ago!" "Perhaps." "But I have returned as this!" "Impossible!" "Die!" "What's the matter?" "Is that all?" "Let me savor it a little longer." "Was that the Yagyu?" "Youjust finished off my game didn't you?" "You're worthless." "Is that you, Godayu?" "Come in." "The enemy must have been especially strong if you were injured." "Yes, I'm sorry." "Tell me." "How was it?" "It's as you said." "They seem to be organizing Ronin." "And Lord Yorinobu, the Tokugawa in Kishu, is financing the operation." "I see." "Lord Kishu is a lot of trouble." "That's not all." "There are strange, evil creatures gathering at the house ofShosetsu." "Really." "What did you see?" "I don't have the words to describe it." "What was it?" "I have trouble believing it, but I saw ghosts." "Ghosts?" "Yes." "First, the spear master lnshun Houzouin was there." "Also, Mataemon Araki, who killed thirty-six people at the Kagiya Corner." "Finally, Botaro Tamiya, who died at the home in Owari about three months ago." "Godayu!" "Have you been drinking?" "No, not at all." "I see." "Each one of those men was a master of his art." "It is not yet summer, and already, the ghosts are appearing." "What is Shosetsu Yui plotting?" "Sir!" "In times like these, I wishjubei were here." "Quiet!" "He has been disowned!" "I apologize." "Continue your watch over Shosetsu." "Well,jubei." "Will you return?" "Are you saying that Satan will descend upon this world?" "I said it was possible." "But you saw the head ofTokisada Shiro Amakusa, didn't you?" "The Shimabara, the Christians," "Tokisada Shiro Amakusa," "Souiken Mori, who was the retainer of the deceased Yukinaga Konishi, and now the rebirth of Satan." "This is all interesting coincidence." "Luckily all my acquaintances are familiar with the underground routes." "I thinkl could take some action in this." "Don't overdo it." "I have an ominous foreboding." "What?" "It's not necessary to worry about me." "By the way] ubei, it is too early for you to retire." "I want to retire." "I have come to hate killing people." "I see." "It has wearied you." "How many people have you killed?" "I do not know." "You have killed too many to keep track of, haven't you?" "Lord Izu no Kami has released you from his service." "If you are truly tired of it, the best thing to do is stop for a while." "You can take a long rest at the village of the Yagyu." "That reminds me." "I knew a man who tried to reach the summit ofswordmanship,just like you." "I have known him for forty years." "He lives alone in the middle of the Higo mountains, serving no lord." "I believe you know him." "His name is Musashi Miyamoto." "Thank you, teacher." "I'll return in about ten days." "Lubei Yagyu..." "Would I be able to defeat him now?" "At last, the time has come, Souiken Mori." "What is going on?" "Quiet!" "It is beginning." "Don't move!" "Come to us, Satan!" "Come to us, Tokisada Shiro Amakusa!" "Oh, Shiro!" "Hell!" "Even now, the world teeters on the brink of Hell!"
