"END OF THE MEIJI ERA" "Sankichi, what happened?" "Sir..." "Boss!" "Damn you!" "YOUNG BOSS TAKESHI Wakaoyabin" "ICHIKAWA Raizo" "ASAOKA Yukiji FUJIMUM Shiho MINAMI Haruo" "Directed by IKEHIRO Kajuo" "Thank you." "Oh, srother..." "Damn you!" " Hey!" "Thank you." "Okay, guys." "Thank you." "I see, the Boss personally took the time to come all the way out here." "I wouldn't miss the funeral for Boss Tatsugoro for the world." "Who's taking his place?" "That's the que stion." "Sis is his only family." "It's too big a job for Assi stant Sennosuke." "Theirs is such a large territoy." "They won't leave it alone for sure." "The Takijawa Family comes to mind right off, you think?" "No." "They know that the killer was a traveler that the Takigawa is ho sting." "It wouldn't be right." "Oh, look at that." "I hear the killer traveler ran away and there's no evidence... but they shamelessly have the nerve to pay a visit." "About the territoy..." "I have a feeling that someone unexpected will get lucIy... and find himself rolling in fortune." "like who?" "Him." "Otaguro?" "The seeds someone else planted are sprouting in his field." "Can't beat a guy who's born lucIy." "Junior!" "I'm so glad you made it." "Boss would be happy that you are here." "Forgive me!" "I was with him and yet couldn't even help him." "Oh, Ms. O'Ryu!" "Takeshi!" "Mother, why didn't you tell me?" "Had I not seen the papers, I wouldn't even have made it to the funeral." "leave!" "'"No matter what happens to me, don't ever tell Takeshi about it'" "That's what your father u sed to say." "This is no place for a naval officer." "Get out of here now!" "I'm the son of Nanjo Tatsugoro." "Whatever anyone says, he's my one and only father." "That father of yours is telling you to leave." "You don't need to help today, so go back to the room." "You're discussing a war plan, right?" "Yeah, I think we are..." "Come on, keep it together!" "You're responsible for the cau se of today's event." "If only you had handled it, Boss would"ve been..." "I can't bear to hear that from anyone." "Okay, enough." "Go on now!" "sut srother said I didn't have to be there and to go to the kitchen." "What asad case!" "I guess your only virtue is kindness." "Tatsugoro's funeral was successfully carried out." "You were the ones who made it happen." "I thank you so vey much in his place." "Please don't, we're no strangers." "More importantly, when are we going to attack the Takigawa Family?" "You've said to finish the funeral fir st and we'll talk about it later." "That's why we've somehow managed to hold it back so far." "Right, eveyone?" "That's right!" " We can't hold back any longer!" "Wait!" "Sis has her own idea." "No, we can't wait!" "To let the Takigawa Family, or rather Minosuke, get away with it... how are we to uphold yakuza boundaries?" "What about saving face for the Nanjo Family?" "Sis!" "Why aren't you going to take any action?" "Idiot!" "How dare an officer of the Imperial Navy act like that?" "Have you forgotten a militay man's spirit?" "Your reque st for resignation is out of the que stion!" "Even though the Japan-Russia War is over... the world situation is still critical." "I won't accept it!" "Please accept!" " No way!" "Nanjo, tell me what's going on!" "You and I have shared life and death moments together since militay school." "We both longed to be in the navy, we gave our lives to the navy." "Did you forget we promised each other we'd live and die in the ocean?" "listen, Nanjo, think nice." "Withdraw your militay resignation." "Please accept!" "Damn you!" "Junior..." "Father..." "Your son Takeshi... has returned to succeed your place as the chief of the Nanjo Family." "My name is Inaba Yasugoro." "In a moment we shall announce new leadership of the family." "Receiving a cup of bonding from Boss Nanjo Tatsugoro... to be appointed the second generation boss... of the Nanjo Family is Nanjo Takeshi." "I was asked to cary the auspicious cup... and so am humbly facilitating the process." "Fir st off... although I am aware there are different rituals of handing over the cup..." "I would personally like to follow the Nanjo tradition." "Sankichi, it's the succession of the Young Boss today, a celebration." "Come out of the dumps already." "None of your business!" "That bastard Minosuke had the nerve to show up at the funeral... and today's ceremony too." "Seeing his damn face makes me feel like he's spitting on my face." "It makes me furious." "The ceremony of announcing new leadership has successfully completed." "Gentlemen, please give a hand." "You used to say, '"My business will last for my generation only"" "When the incident happened, no disrespect to you..." "I was going to leave ju stice in the hands of the police and dissolve the family." "Well, that didn't happen." "like father, like son." "I caught a glimpse of him, and isn't he ju st hand some?" "He may be young but he's the son of the Nanjo after all." "The masculinity, the looks..." "He's perfect!" "Wait, Kikumine, there's more." "His eyes, right?" "They kill me, those eyes." "He's a fool." "A fool?" "We're talking about the Young Boss." "He's a big fool to throw away his position in the navy to be a yakuza." "Come on, hurry up with the bottles." "She's fine." "Sory but she's Otaguro's lover." "I knew he was a fast playing yakuza... but apparently he's the same in that arena too." "Thank you for coming." "Next!" "Thank you for coming." "Things can be hard at times, but keep on." "Thanks for your support." "I enjoyed the ceremony." "Thank you." "What are you doing?" "Idiot!" "Wake up!" "Stop it!" "Boss, for his outrageous behavior, I apologize." "Allow me a visit of a formal apology with you later." "I'm sure you're outraged but I beg you to be on your way." "Hey, Kyo-chan." "Congratulations to you." "Why are you acting like astranger?" "'Cau se you're the Young Boss of the Nanjo Family." "Come on, stop it." "Eveyone's talking about how fine and wonderful you are." "As you all know, Dad was a lou8y chess player who loved the game." "He was on his way home from another chess night when he died." "The way he died may not have been what he'd wanted... but I believe the way he lived was righteous... and absolutely true to the yakuza code." "This jacket I have on with chess piece print... it expresses my wish never to forget dad... as well as to loyally walk the path of the yakuza." "Eveyone, I appreciate your support." "We are honored." "You can go for the day." "What?" "What's the matter?" "Boss, what about settling the score with Minosuke?" "Sankichi." " Sir!" "Come up here." "Just to make sure... you clearly saw the face of the man who killed dad, right?" "Yes!" "Are you sure he was with the Takigawa Family?" "There's no doubt about it." "It's the traveling man named Torada who stayed with them a month ago." "I don't know where he's been since that night... sut I saw him clearly!" "Takeshi." "Mother, this is my fir st job as the successor of the Nanjo Family." "Thank Heavens!" "Guys, get ready!" "Wait!" "I'm going on my own." "I'll take care of it by myself." "Junior!" " I'm coming with you!" "Take me with you too!" "One life is plenty to risk." "No matter what you say..." "I can't feel resolved until I kill him with my own hands." "That's right!" "Then leave!" "If any of you cannot follow my orders, I'll gladly relieve you of your duty." "One of you go deliver this letter to the Takigawa Family." "What's taking him so long?" "He's the one who challenged us." "He's slow probably becau se... he's tying to get a large number of men together." "How many men from the Nanjo Family do you think will show up?" "I'd say 50." " 50..." "Cops!" "Hide!" "Are you by yourseIR" "As you can see." "A traveling man, that you ho sted, killed my dad." "That's correct, is it not?" "Yes." "let's hear it if you have anything to say." "There's none." "You"ve never killed a man, have you?" "Get out of here!" "Take the wounded man and leave!" "Hury up!" "Boss!" "Junior!" "It's done." "There it was!" "And it was and it was!" "The Young Boss with his Iai technique!" "So brilliant that it could even make a man fall." "What a fool, you haven't even seen it." "srother Sen-no-suke told me." "I'll officially quit my job as a chauffer tomorrow." "What are you going to do then?" "I'm going to be one of his men." "I'll receive a bonding cup from the Young Boss." "With you, I don't know." "What about me don't you know?" "He won't even consider you." "How do you know?" "Well, better not lose yourself in your fanta8y." "How could a woman under stand the heart of a man?" "Don't be so smug!" "Hey!" "Hey, guys come help!" "I hear you're bringing Tochuken Kumo'emon's show to town." "Yeah, dad was a great fan of his." "I'd like to have the show as his memorial and let town's folk enjoy it too." "People will come flooding, fighting to get in." "I certainly hope so." "Guaranteed." "Well, make yourself at home." "Kumo'emon was nice enough... to squeeze it in for Dad despite his tight schedule." "I sure want to make it a success for his kindness too." "The Young Boss is the talk of the town these days." "I hear Boss Minosuke lo st his arm before he knew it." "let's not talk about that." "Hey, why did you leave the navy?" "look at you..." "You took over your mom's work as manager as soon as she passed away." "My situation is different from yours." "In order to pay off the debts my dad accumulated..." "I need to keep the business going." "Each of us has our own de stiny that we're born with." "Oh, leaving already?" "Yeah." "I'm counting on you to oversee hospitality for Kumo'emon." "Thank you for your patronage." "Wait, let me talk to them some more!" "I beg you!" "Wait, I beg you!" "It's no place for a teacher." "Get lo st." "Teacher!" " Yukiko!" "Don't you get it?" "Teacher!" "Come on now." "let me talk to them." "You still don't get it?" "Hold it!" "Young Boss..." "I'm ju st passing by and don't know the whole stoy... but he looks like aschool teacher." "Will you leave this situation to me?" "Yes, if the Young Boss personally wishes so." "Here, why don't you go have a drink?" "Shunsuke!" "let my chauffer take him home." "Where do you live?" "Nakano-cho." "If you know him, come and take care of his wound." "Yes." "A school teacher making a scene in the red light di strict." "Wouldn't that be a problem?" "She's my student." "I learned that she was being sold to become a geisha." "How could I bear that and do nothing?" "I under stand how you feel." "The pureness of your desire is honorable." "sut desire alone won't solve a problem on a fundamental level, will it?" "Each person has a role to fulfill." "The act of human selling human as merchandise shouldn't be condoned." "sut it's the government's job... to come up with asolution to eliminate the problem at its root." "If that will ever happen." "I'd rather help one or two in my life." "Well, ju st don't get too involved." "You have an important job as an educator." "Well, I'll leave it in your hands now." "Does it hurt?" "It's not a big deal." "Chiyo-chan..." "Have you made up your mind?" "I don't want to see you live that kind of life a day longer." "I'll do eveything I can to get you out." "Shunsuke, I'm happy ju st to know your feelings." "Don't say that." "I 8wore to myself that I'll take your as my wife." "Please, forget about me as of today." "What?" " Please forget about me." "Or you'll invite big trouble for yourself." "No matter what it takes, I will..." "You can't." "You're going to lose your job as a teacher if you keep getting involved." "Even your life." "Please forget about me." "Tell me why it is so." "Forgive me." "I belong to someone." "Is that true?" "I'm sory I never told you until now." "I'll talk to that man, and get you out of..." "You shouldn't." "They'll kill you." "Who is he?" "Tell me." "It's a yakuza named Otaguro Izo." "He u sed money and force to submit me again st my will." "Thank you for your time." "I wish you success." "Thank you so much." "We're back!" "Thanks." "How did it go?" "Goodness gracious, people grabbed the advance tickets we brought." "At this rate, we'll have a full hou se with ju st advance tickets." "Thank Heavens." "No doubt Kumo'emon is popular but people sure admired the late boss." "Trouble!" "Trouble!" "I heard Tochken Kumo'emon is performing in Ohama tomorrow!" "Idiot!" "He's coming here tomorrow." "Wake up already!" "That's why there's trouble!" "I saw them advertising the show... using po sters and street announcements in Ohama." "Oh, Boss!" "I'm not lying." "I ju st heard it from a colleague of mine who'd ju st been to Ohama." "Come on now!" "Our show was scheduled a month ago." "What do you think will happen?" "He won't be able to run between here and Ohama to do both shows." "Hold on a minute." "Kumo'emon would never double-book himself." "That's right." "He was the one who offered to do the show... becau se he owed late boss much kindness." "I want you to make a trip to Ohama." "No problem." "I'm so sory." "What do you mean you're sory?" "Who are you?" "I'm the manager of Kumo'emon's entourage." "Manager of Kumo'emon's...?" "Yes, that is me." "What happened was, on our way here... we stopped for a drink in Ohama last night." "There were men from Otaguro Family... and I blindly accepted their invitation to their gambling hou se." "You'd better stay away from them, it's a known fact they cheat players." "little did I know, in no time all the money we had was gone." "I stayed on and kept tying to recover the loss... and before I knew it I ended up owing 3,OOO yen." "3,OOO yen!" "?" "Finally I realized I was cheated and confronted them." "They said I was causing trouble and beat me up." "On top of that... they said they'd let it all go if we performed in Ohama tomorrow night... and they threatened to not only kill me... but also make sure Komo'emon would never... take the stage ever again if we refu sed." "I'll take responsibility for my own action." "sut I was worried for my master, I didn't want anything to happen to him." "They locked me up, I spent the whole night awake." "Then shortly after noon today I heard they kidnapped him... so I ju st had to somehow escape to make it here." "Boss, I beg you please..." "Save my master." "I beg you." "Damn that bastard Otaguro!" "Where are you going?" "I'm going there to settle this." "Don't." "Are we going to ju st sit here and watch him do whatever?" "I'm going to have it settled." " No, no, you shouldn't." "If you go and things get complicated, we might end up with bloodshed." "Tomorrow's show is in memorial to Nanjo Tatsugoro." "We'll lose face if the show doesn't happen." "Sankichi." "Get a three-men team." "You're right, Kumo'emon is here." "We struck a last minute agreement for ashow tomorrow." "It's devious to u se debt from gambling as an excuse to interfere with our show." "Devious?" "Don't be stupid." "The fir st rule of the yakuza that gambling is serious business." "A naval officer may not agree... but it's a rule of thumb that even your parent or sibling... is not exempt from due punishment at a gambling site." "I breathed the atmosphere of the yakuza until I became independent." "I'm aware of basic rules like that." "Then I want you to leave without complaint." "I have complaint." " What?" "Cheating shouldn't be allowed for serious business." "Cheating?" "That's the problem with a yakuza who's wet behind the ears." "How dare you accu se us of cheating without any evidence." "li sten..." "Even if hypothetically we cheated, once you lose, you lose." "Cheating is a technique too." "You should settle gambling issues with gambling." "Fine." "sy the way what are we betting?" "Cu stody of Kumo'emon and canceling the manager's debt." "There's a chance that you will lose." "That's true." "What do you want?" "I heard you chopped off Minosuke's right arm." "That mu st have felt good." "All right." "I'll leave my arm, right or leg, whichever you like." "How are we going to play?" "let's play it one-to-one, one game only." "Go ahead." "Never." "Show it." "It's Kabu." "Kuppin." "I win." "Get Kumo'emon out here." "Your cheating is not a technique." "Cheating?" "You can't take back words you"ve let out." "Shut up!" "I know there's another card stuck under there that you bewitched." "I guess you wanted to call Kuppin the dealer's win." "Suit you can't have it." "li sten, peel your eyelids and take a good look." "You mu st be Tochuken Kumo'emon." "I enjoyed watching the game." "Excu se the eyesore." "I'll take Kumo'emon with me." "let's get going." "He sure has guts with his navy background." "Damn it!" "sastard!" "Wait." "We'll lose face if we ju st let him go." "I declared cheating was a technique, too." "Do you want to embarrass us by admitting... we couldn't even see a rookie's trick?" "Do you want us to cy ourselves to sleep?" "We're yet to see whether we'll cy or laugh." "It was all due to my lack of discipline." "I sincerely apologize." "It's not his fault." "It's me." "That's enough." "It's over now and I'm not proud that I won by cheating." "Master, please raise your head." "Well, to think you cheated." "It was the best trick of my life." "I too will deliver the be st show of my life in Ebisu-ga Theater tomorrow." "Thank you." "Tatsugoro u sed to always say he wouldn't miss it for the world... to go see your solo performance at Kabuki-ga Theater." "Yes." "I owe the world to Boss Tatsugoro... and before I had the chance to return one ten-thou sandth of his kindness..." "Emergency!" "Ebisu-ga Theater is on fire!" "What?" "Ebisu-ga!" "The fire started back stage where no one was." "It was arson, they said." "So sorry!" "Madam, theater or no, my performance will not be different." "I will give it my all tomorrow." "Who knows a man's heart... can melt a woman's heart too, they say." "A samurai has warm blood and compasion too." "it's raining and it's midnight... the Soga brothers inconspiciously travel." "There, the both of you... what're you doing, suspiciously wandering near lord Yoritomo's camp?" "I'm Otoneri Goromaru serving as the guard for tonight." "Tell me who you are!" "As he stops them... 3xro answerssaying, "Sir, we are brothers Yatodaya Genji of Mitachi." ""We were on our way home when a storm blew out our torch." ""We're in distress, please forgive us:'" "As he desperately tries to explain themselves..." "Toneri shines a torch over them and listens to his words." "He makes a connection... remembers hearing about the honorable brothers... who endured many years of hardships to avenge the death of their master." "Though I'm serving as a guard tonight I'm a wn ofman, I have heart..." "Oh, srother!" "Wanna fight?" "That's not what this is." "I came here to ask for a favor." "Would you allow me to li sten to the show in the presence of Tatsugoro's altar?" "What?" "Thank you." "The more people enjoy the show, the happier Dad would be." "Please." "This way please." " Thanks." "Remember, this is the camp ofSir Kudo Suketsune." "Stay ale4 brothers, farewell, farewell, and he leaves." "look, there goes Tochuken Kumo'emon!" "Hey, that's Tochuken Kumo'emon!" "Out of the way, we need to talk to the master." "Talk to the Nanjo Family then." "I said we want to talk to the master." "We don't need you, old fart!" "Your mi stress could be harmed if you resi st." "Wait." "I don't mean to sound grand... but I will not let you lift a finger again st the folks of the Nanjo Family." "You embarrassed the Otaguro Family." "Are you going to leave without paying your dues?" "Only a humane person can say he feels embarrassed." "What?" "Humbly, through the art of stoytelling..." "I have sincerely aimed to promote the samurai spirit of our ancient tradition... and praise human righteousness and virtues." "That's the reason why I have been so strongly supported... by tens of thou sands of people, I believe." "That's right!" "Shut up!" "Come, eveyone, it's lunch time!" "Thanks for your consi stent help." "It's not much but enjoy while it's hot." "Young Boss, working hard, aren't you?" "Will you stop calling me Young Boss?" "sut you are the Young Boss." "You u sed to call me by my fir st name." "Things have changed." "You're the honorable successor of the Nanjo Family." "I see the Nanjo Family's earned points again." "I heard it was an arson here." "I'm sure it was Ijo who did it to annoy you." "You took it on saying the Nanjo Family had responsibility in part... cleaning up the mess and donating money to rebuild." "Of course you have a good reputation." "Oh, it's the 3rd Anniversay of our victoy in war." "Time flies, doesn't it?" "It's been 3 years already." "The battles at Jin seng Sea, and the Sea of Japan." "You"ve really settled into the Boss business." "You shouldn't be here." "Boss Ijo is here, isn't he?" "let me see him." "What are you thinking?" "I'm going to tell him openly what's going on between us in person." "No, ju st go home now." "If his men find you..." "I don't care if I get killed." "I"ve lo st my patience." "You can't!" " let me go!" "So that's what's going on." "There's nothing going on." "Stop accusing me of anything wrong." "If there's nothing going on, why are you so desperately tying to help him?" "What are you doing?" "A mere teacher tying to steal the Boss's woman..." "You have some nerve!" "Wait!" " Shut up!" "I'm not going to run and hide." "I want to see Boss Otaguro and tell him myself." "What?" "You bastard..." "Hey, Chiyo'ume." "I was looking for you all over." "You can't leave your cu stomers without telling anyone." "I'm sory." "So, did you take her away from her cu stomers?" "No I didn't." " She's working right now." "If you need to be with her, please pay accordingly." "Pay?" "li sten, tonight the Boss and this woman..." "My cu stomers who paid to book her come fir st." "What?" "Something fishy's going on." "Don't think you're off the hook." "Got it?" "Thank you." "She told me what's going on." "I'll do my be st to help you." "Thank you..." "Having said that..." "I don't have the power to stand again st the Otaguro Family." "sut I'm sure he can." "Who is he?" "The second generation boss of the Nanjo Family." "Wait a minute, a Nanjo Family boss is yakuza after all." "You don't know him." "He's yakuza but not the ordinay kind." "sut..." " He's reliable." "Someone you can tru st." "He's a rare kind, well there's no one like him' ." "What if she runs away from me?" "I'm going to lose face big time." "Search high and low to find her, got it?" "Torada, you bastard!" "I told you never to come around, I gave you enough money!" "What are you thinking coming back here?" "Well, the truth is, I'm short on this." "You bastard!" "Are you going to blackmail me?" "No, nothing like that." "Yeah." "What?" "She's hiding at the Nanjo's?" "What do you want?" "I can't waste time with you." "Get the Boss." "Otaguro..." "Just becau se you're a boss doesn't mean you can act without courte8y." "Shut up!" " Hey!" "I see we have a new gue st." "Whether I'll be your gue st or enemy depends on what comes out of this." "Chiyo'ume is here, isn't she?" "Yeah, she's here." "Call her here." "We have tatami mats in our humble abode, too." "Get her here now." "Sure thing." "Then what are you going to do?" "I'm taking her home." " Taking her home?" "I'd think twice about that." "What?" "She left you for another man." "Holding on to the past and dragging her back looks bad, I think." "None of your business." "I'm Otaguro Ijo." "I'm not going to hurt my reputation... by letting my woman be stolen without a fight." "I can't forgive the young punk who stole her knowing she's my possession." "I see, then take her." "You bitch!" "Come here!" "Rich black hair is a woman's treasure." "She shaved it all off." "Evidently, she put her life on the line for the affair." "Do you still want a woman who's so devoted to that punk?" "Are you going to go around advertising... how your woman had aserious affair with someone else?" "Thank you so much!" "No time to be cying now." "You'd better hury." "He's right." "Hury or you'll miss the last train." "I don't have anything flattering but you'll have change of clothes." "Thank you so vey much." "I'll remember your kindness for the re st of my life." "You shouldn't, I'll never be able to pay you back." "No, it's not that much." "When you settle, drop me a line, okay?" "Come on, hury now." "Come." "Damn them!" "How dare they!" "Hey, give that guy a job." "Yes, you want him to handle the young Nanjo." "When you told Chiyo'ume to shave her head..." "I almo st choked from the shock." "We couldn't have handled Ijo unless we did something radical like that." "I also wanted to find out where her heart really lied." "Your hair will grow back in a matter of a year." "It's nothing compared to happiness for a lifetime." "We"ve never sat like this before, have we?" "Of course not." "We were still in junior high when we u sed to play together." "That's true." "Do I want some too?" "Really, can you drink?" "I can handle a little." "Then." "They mu st be on the train by now." "Yeah." "They're going to be safe." "Takeshi, you should find yourself a bride." "Oh?" "How unusual, you called me Takeshi like you u sed to." "I'm sory, it mu st have been hot." "Oh, we need to change the bandage." "No, it's okay." " sut it got wet." "It's not aserious wound." "I'll do it when I get home." "I'm on my way now." " Already?" "Next time I'll have more time to relax." "I won't see you out." "Sure." "Hey, Boss is going home now!" "Yes!" "Michi, he's going home." "Yes." "Well, Boss, going home already?" "Get home safe." " Please get home safe." "Michi, bring some cold Sake." "I feel so fru strated looking at you." "If I were much younger and had a prem face..." "I'd have competed with you to make the Young Boss mine." "That's not like that." "Come on, be hone st with yourself." "If you keep acting like it doesn't matter, one day it's going to be too late." "You may be more intelligent... but I have more experience in the romance department." "Some men can't express it even if they love you to death." "It's you!" "It's him!" "He killed Boss!" "What?" "Junior!" "Did you kill him?" "I don't keep track of each and evey man I kill!" "They told me Dad was stabbed as many as 13 times in his back." "I'll give you the same treatment." "Spare me." "Ijo asked me to kill Boss Tatsugoro." "What?" "Ijo?" "You mean, it wasn't Boss Takigawa who killed Dad?" "It's Ijo." "He sent me last time and this time too." "Please spare me." "Junior, please, lift your head now." "Boss, why didn't you tell me the truth then?" "Even if I did, you wouldn't have accepted it back then." "Plus, I deserved to have my arm chopped off." "Had I been a better fighter, I might have been the one to hurt you." "It's the law of the yakuza." "Although I don't know what schemes our gue st had in mind... as the one who oversees a family..." "I'm responsible for the actions of anyone who stays with us." "It's the righteous way of the yakuza." "Boss..." "I'm glad that you know I wasn't the one behind Tatsugoro's killing." "Well, it was strange... how I didn't feel either angy or regreful when you cut off my arm." "I was envious, thinking what a great successor Tatsugoro had for him." "It's true." "I forgot it's a day of celebration." "Come on, Junior, please lift your head now." "How about some Sake together?" "Boss, I promise to make up for cutting your arm off." "I know you." "You want to have war with Ijo." "I would ty to stop you but you probably won't li sten." "Are you going to do it tonight?" "No, not tonight." "I don't want to ruin the night of celebration with bloodshed." "I see." "Take it with you anway." "Knowing Ijo, he's likely to u se any dim trick he can pull off." "I'll accept your generosity and take ju st three bullets."
