Jaja!

A mouse!

Kame!

Kametaro!

Pull up, quickly!

Brother!

Brother!

Uma!

Hide it, brother. Jaja would be angry.

How is Taro?

He hasn't eaten anything since morning

Will you check if he is cursed?

Brother, you went to sea.

I didn't.

If they find you fishing,
they'll kill you.

I didn't.

All right, I believe you.

Jaja's coming!

Nekichi, have you seen Uma?

No.

The prayer is done, Kametaro.

Taro! Taro!

He's fine!

Thank god!

Toriko, don't give Taro too much water.

Uma, you shouldn't see Nekichi.

I don't Jaja.

What can we say to Ryugen,
if people find out?

A long, long time ago...

A very long time ago...

They came to the sea of Kurage.

To the Jellyfish Sea.

A brother and a sister.

The god and the goddess.

Creating an island together.

This is the story of...

how the island began.

One day, the God of Heaven
called the male god to him...

...and told him to create an island
and become the guardian deity of it.

The God of Heaven bestowed on
him a red, red, very red rock.

Overjoyed, the male god threw
a piece of the rock

into the ocean with a big splash.

Lo and behold, all of a sudden, this
Kurage island appeared from the ocean.

And then?

And then, the male god tried to
descend onto the island.

But he couldn't.

He tried and tried, but in vain.

Finally he begged the God of Heaven:

"Please grant me the part
of my body that I lack."

Amazed, the God of Heaven asked:
"What part of your body do you lack?"

The part of my body...

...that I lack to be complete...

...is the body...

of a woman.

The body of a woman

is all I long for.

Fumoto, how is the fishing?

So-so!

A pig's fallen overboard!

Turn round!

Hey, Fumoto! Turn round!

Damn! It's a shark!

- Kyoji, bring the oil.
- Okay.

The watermelons.

Hurry up!

Fumawari.

That one for Tonoshiro.

Omaha... Omaha!

This is for Mr. Ryu

- This is for Egu.
- No, Toriko!

This is for Kara and this is mine.

- I'm going home.
- All right.

Let's go!

Kame! Go.

Brother.

O Thou merciful God.

We, the Futoris, are the oldest
family on the island.

Our misdeeds in recent years
have caused trouble on the island.

I now swear to Thee, O God.

The Futoris will not go out to sea.
We will keep Nekichi chained.

We will remove the rock, and
restore the holy rice field.

If we keep our promises,
please let us go out fishing again.

And please let us attend the
festival of your god Dongata.

I beg you, please let us do
everything as we used to.

Kurage's paddy fields...

...are floating fields.

Stamp on the paddy field paths.

And the ears of rice quiver.

The breasts of running girls...

...quiver too. They quiver too.

When the breasts quiver.

The blood runs wild.

The blood runs wild.

All together run down to the beach.

In the shade of the adan trees.

And dance all night long.

The boys of the island have
come to play with Toriko.

All together run down to the beach.

In the shade of the adan trees.

And dance all night long.

Toriko, show us more!

More, Toriko, you're good!

- Toriko
- What?

Whose wife are you?

Toriko is Kametaro's wife.

Kametaro's wife.

No, no!

Toriko is Nekichi's wife.

I'm Nekichi's wife.

She's Nekichi's wife!

Dad, fool!

- Beasts!
- Idiots!

Sisterfucker!

They're making fun of you.
Don't worry!

Sisterfucker!

It itches, Grandpa Jaja!
Itchy!

- All right.
- Itchy!

Good girl, Toriko.

Is it here? Good girl.

What are you doing, Nekichi?

- Toriko...
- My ear itches, Dad!

Your ear?

Where?

I can't stand it.

Here?

Who taught you this, Toriko?

Grandpa.

Toriko doesn't have any pleasures.

Jaja!! That's why they call us beasts!

You're making us all suffer.

Nonsense!

It's all because you broke the rules.

You poached with dynamite,
despite my warning.

What did you say?

Back then, we all did.

But not in plain daylight,
as you did, stupid.

You even had an affair with
someone else's wife.

He was my comrade in war, and
he came back impotent.

So I did it for him.
What's wrong about that?

Comrade, comrade... you don't
know anything else?

Yes, a comrade's a comrade.

We shared the happiest time of my life.

I would rather be in the war again,

than living in a small place like Kurage,
being called a beast.

And all because you're mad!

Idiot!

A man should look after a woman.

I took care of poor Ushi, when her man
ran out on her.

- What was wrong with that?
- What you skunk?

Ushi was your daughter!

So what? Did I make her unhappy?

Ushi died happy.

Ma couldn't marry, because of your baby.

You owe your own birth to it.
Don't insult your father!

Isn't it hot today?

- Working hard?
- No, times are bad.

Mr. Kariya?

I'm Ryugen Ryu of the Kurage
sugar factory.

Was the sea rough?

I told Mr. Shimajiri, your predecessor,
to come as well, but he seems busy.

What man will come and catch me?

Tempt me with sweet words?

Nekichi!

Hello comrade. What's up today?

An engineer's arrived from Tokyo.
He'll dig for water for the factory.

- Good of you, Ryu
- Hello, old man.

I have something for you.

- Thank you.
- Please accept it.

By the way, I need Kametaro
as the engineer's assistant.

It's an importantjob.

Kametaro's like one of my family,
so I'd like him to do it.

Kame's a Futori.
He's working on the pit.

Yes, that's important too,
but there's plenty of time.

- Uma has agreed.
- Uma? Why?

She's a Futori too.
She wouldn't stop our digging.

All the farmers here live by
growing sugar cane.

If the factory closed down
without water, we'd all die.

It was you who made everyone
switch from rice to sugar cane.

Kurage can't survive otherwise.

Dad, I want to help the engineer.

I've told the elders of the island
about Kametaro.

If he helps, he can join in
the Dongama Festival.

Dongama Festival?

Ryugen, I appreciate you saying that.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Comrade... How much will they
pay Kametaro?

It'll be 500 yen a day.

Nekichi doesn't accept any money.

The engineer's a god who
came across the sea.

It's not right to ask the god for money.

Stay away. I'm talking to
my comrade.

Old man, the world's changed.

Working means money, that's why we work.

I don't understand.

Those who render service to the
island are considered gods.

He'll work for a god.
Then why?

I don't understand.

Nekichi!

Nekichi!

Nekichi!

Uma!

Engineer!

- Good evening
- Good evening

You're from Tokyo, engineer?

Yes, from Tokyo.

- Konoe, Konoe!
- Konoe?

Konoe troop, in Tokyo.

- So you were in the Guards?
- I miss Tokyo.

Ryu is a clever man.
Futori is a fool.

- Futori?
- Kame... Kametaro.

- The father of Kame?
- Crazy. Beast.

The engineer is a fine man.

He's son-in-law of the chairman
of Higashi Company.

- So work hard.
- I will!

I'm head of the island as well as
the factory manager.

You belong here.

- Don't tell him anything shameful.
- No.

It's for your family's sake too.

- Ask me if you have a question.
- Yes.

They're late.

This is Mr. Shimajiri,
your predecessor.

Why didn't you contact
the office, Shimajiri?

No word for six months.

I'm sorry.

If there's no water we'll close down.

If not, we'll get on with the work.

Either of the two.

They've been waiting for your report.

- My report?
- Yes.

Why?

Why? Isn't it your duty as an
employee? That's why they pay you.

But I haven't recieved any salary.

Of course not. Your wife and
children in Tokyo get it.

I see.

Engineer. Around here, it was
paddy fields in the old days.

The remains of Hitomasuda.

Long ago, people had to come here when a
bell rang. Those who came late were killed.

That was to control the population.

Those were cruel old days.

Thanks for your hard work!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Mr. Ryu is a man of virtue.
Everyone respects him.

I know, people are the
salt of the earth here.

Thank you, thank you!

This used to be a rice field,
but it's all sugar cane now.

I understand.

- It's hot. Let's move on.
- Yes.

What's this? Haven't we
been here before?

Yes, we have.

- We have?
- Sorry about the heat.

I wanted everyone to see you.

It will give them hope.

What do you mean? End the tour
and take me to the site now!

Yes, yes.

How are things at the head office?

What? Oh, sugar's not so good.

I'm an engineer, so I don't know much.

It must be hard for your father-in-law.

Hardly. He owns several
other companies.

It's so hot.

The factory hasn't yet paid the
balance of last year's advance.

So people are worried.

They trust me only thanks to
Mr. Higashi's name.

Newspaper!

Newspaper!

Bring it to my house.

- Today's paper?
- No.

The latest can be a week old.

- Comrade, I've brought yours home
- Thanks.

- They may have water.
- That'll be great.

Can you give some water to the engineer?

Disgusting!

Most of the wells have dried up.
The water's getting salty.

How are you?

Look, Mr. Higashi's son-in-law
is here.

The factory is secure.
So work hard, OK?

- OK, shall we start?
- Yes, let's

What a place!

It's called Kuburabari.

- Kuburabari?
- Yes

They used to make pregnant women
jump here...

...to control the population.

In feudal times, this island
belonged to a Lord.

There were heavy taxes.

Mr. Ryu. Where's the water source?

There must be a big pool of
underground water.

Water comes out below that cliff.

Can you see it?
Shall we go down?

It's no good.

It's too far from the factory.

But this is the best on the island.

But not the best for the company!

The quality's good, isn't it?

- Yes, the quality is good.
- Have you tried here?

Yes. That's where I was boring
a hole.

And? Any result?

Result?

During the work there was a wedding.

Wedding? Whose?

Mine. It was mine.

He used to stay in a widow's house.

Anyway, this rock-bed is hard.

It's over 5 km away from the factory.

Even if we could bore, it would
be too expensive.

Please don't worry about the
cost of labour.

We have a traditional labour service
here, called Yuitaba

Labour's free, if necessary.

As you see, this is the only
water source.

Please find a way to use this one.

What man will come and catch me?

Tempt me with sweet words?

Toriko! You're working hard.

Look, this is made in America.

Pretty.

Knickers are not to put on your head!

Try them on.

Take the dirty ones off.
I'll help you

How dirty!

Lie down.

Hello, Kame. I've brought some coal
for Nekichi, so give me pongee.

Get out.

- Give me pongee. I'll pay.
- Get lost!

Toriko! Give the knickers back!

What will you do?

They're 550 yen.

You've got the money?

- Kame, don't you want a fountain pen?
- Get lost!

I will. Have the pongee ready.
I'll come tomorrow.

Brother!

Stop it!

Knickers! Knickers!

Stop it!

My ear itches.

Brother! It itches!

Scratch my ear!

Brother! Brother! My ear! My ear!

Scratch my ear!

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Stop it!

Brother!

My ear!

Damned island.
Shit place.

Others are doing it too.

Nekichi, get up!

Get up!

God of Kurage!

Nekichi disobeyed Thee by taking
of his chains.

He has broken the law, to poach.

Fumato!

I wasn't the only one.

Rats, the informers!

I will most humbly punish him
in Thy place.

Are you OK, Jaja?

50 for taking off his chains,
50 for poaching.

I will begin!

One! Two! Three!

Four! Five!

You're hurting me!

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven...

Jaja!

- Twelve...
- Unfilial son!

- Thirteen, fourteen...
- Lawbreaker... stupid!

- Fifteen, sixteen...
- Lawbreaker.

Sinner... lawbreaker!
Don't you dare.

- Seventeen, eighteen...
- Lawbreaker... stupid son!

...please heal Nekichi...

Uma.

It hurts here.

Here?

Uma. I'm sure the rock will
fall this year.

- Really?
- Yes.

When it falls I'll reclaim the
paddy field.

Then we'll live together again.

I hope it'll be soon.

Brother.

- Why not?
- Stop it!

- Why is it bad?
- Because it is.

The islanders call you my wife.

The Futoris are called beasts.

Let's just do it anyway.

Idiots... Let's do it.

My late sister-in-law would curse us.

The gods would punish me.

You hate me?

Do you hate me?

I love you.

Thanks!

Are you Ryu's daughter?

His wife, then?

- Uma! Uma!
- Yes!

Fresh air makes me hungry.

Ah, who is it?

Grandpa Futori

Welcome!

Thank you for the squash the other day.

These are in return for it.

Thank you.

Thank you for being so kind to Uma.

No, not at all.

And thank you for being
so good to Kametaro.

Where are you going?

- Where is she going?
- To the sacred forest.

- What's that white garment?
- A Noro's robe.

Noro?

What do you call it on the mainland?

- A sort of shaman.
- A shaman?

- What's she going for?
- To pray for rain.

- For rain?
- A superstition.

What's that old man to you?

My grandfather.

- He and Uma?
- Father and daughter.

- What is she to Ryu?
- What do you call it on the mainland?

Shall we work before breakfast?

- What is it?
- That water-boring we saw.

But it's far away.

Please have another look.
It won't take long by car.

- I must send a telegram.
- But it's Sunday, so...

- No telegram?
- You'd better put on this straw hat.

- But how about breakfast?
- It'll be ready by the time you come back.

Take him to the site.

I must meet your father.

Mother died long ago.
Father may not be at home.

- We'll go and see.
- You don't have to.

I have to.

It's dirty. We must clean up first.

I don't mind.

Jaja! Toriko!

The engineer's coming.

Jaja! Put it in the sty.

Then boil some water.

Jaja! Fix your loincloth!

Jaja, for goodness' sake!
This is the engineer.

This is my grandfather.

You're the engineer?
You're very kind to my grandson.

Thank you...

- You look very fit. What's your age?
- Let me see... how old am I?

A nice place.

For generations, the Futoris
served the gods as Noros.

- Kametaro and his sister...
- He has a sister?

Yes.

- Where's Toriko?
- I don't know.

Kame, the engineer's a nice man.

Of course.

Once...

...I catch a man.

I know...

...l'll never let him go.

I'll never let him go.

Come, come at nights...

- Help!
- Toriko!

Let go, Toriko!

- She's your sister?
- Yes, she's a bit funny in the head.

Please don't act strange. I want to
help him so that he will take me to Tokyo.

Tokyo, understand?

Tokyo?

Yes. There are millions of
people in Tokyo.

Electricity, trains, universities,
everything.

Once I'm a success in Tokyo,
I'll take you there.

OK!

Mr. Futori?

You're the engineer?

Kametaro's a great help.

What is this hole for?

A tidal wave washed up this
big rock twenty years ago.

We're digging a hole to drop it in.

The sea water comes in here.

- Digging for 20 years?
- Yes.

We have to restore the paddy
field to offer rice to the gods.

The rest all became sugar cane fields.

I see. How many more years
will it take, though?

I don't know.

If Nekichi grows old,
Kametaro will carry on.

If he dies, his children will do it.

I see. Such hard work.

It's a good paddy field.

Sunshine, no wind, and plenty of water.

Water?
Where does it come from?

Water? Let me see...

Water comes... well...

Engineer! Can you bring
this up?

- That?
- Yes. Pull that rope.

Do you have a cigarette?

Mr. Futori, where does this
water come from?

I don't know.

I wonder where it comes from.

Let me see...

I hear something.
Sounds like water!

We passed by here once.
We can't go any further.

No one knows where the
water's coming from?

No sir.

It's getting dark.
Let's go home.

- Let's check some more.
- Poisonous snakes are coming out.

- What?
- Habu. They're poisonous.

Tomorrow, then.

When did we receive the advance?

The end of last year.

They said they'd pay the balance
when they finished refining the sugar.

It's four months since then.

Recession, they say.

Ryu must be taking the money.

Of course he is.

We're too poor to wait for the harvest.

He takes advantage of it.

I hate this dirty island!

If you hate it so much
why don't you leave?

What did you say, you digger?

I'm not a digger anymore.

Who are you then? Ryu's dog?
Or the engineer's?

Either way, you're not human.

I'm human.

I'll be in Dongama.

What about Dongama?

Shall we try to poach?

It's too risky with a dog on the team.

I don't want to be like Nekichi.

Damn, when will this drought be over?

Many have left the island.
Those who remain are the losers.

What a pity. All we can do is
sneak into girls' beds.

The girls in Kurage...

...have warm hearts.

Two snakes...

...tangling with each other.

Sneakin'in... sneakin'in...

sneakin'in brings great pleasure.

Once I...

...catch a man...

...I will never...

...let him go.

...I will never let him go.

Sneakin'in... sneakin'in...

sneakin'in brings great pleasure.

Whisky.

- Can you give me water?
- The water's salty.

Have you been to the sacred forest?

- No one?
- No.

There must be some water!

Don't you know?

Don't you?

Dad?

What's the matter?

I hear someone calling.

- Who?
- I don't know.

Late, at night, someone's been
calling me, "Nekichi!"

From underground...

- Where did you get that key?
- From Mr. Ryu.

Ryu?

He wants you to come over.

Here?

No.

Over there?

Yes.

He lost his soul last night.
He's looking for it.

It's superstition.

Do such things happen?

Yes, they say it does here.
It's stupid though.

Engineer, this is the wrong way!

No, it's not that way.

Engineer, the proposed site is over here.

Not this way!

Engineer, it's best not to go that way.

Over there!

Rain, rain, rain to fall

Rain, rain, rain to fall

Water!
The source must be there.

Engineer!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Hurry, take me down!
It's throbbing!

Fool. Cut down the tree!

Our carelessness delayed
your work. I'm very sorry.

It's not Futori's fault.
I was too hasty.

A good story to tell at home.

Ryugen, why didn't you tell me
about the good water source?

The shrine's well is the last
water left on the island.

The drought's lasted for months.

But nobody uses that water.

The gods punish those who touch it.

So we don't tell outsiders.

The factory will close without
water. You'd suffer.

Yes, but we can't disregard
our traditions and beliefs.

It's better than laying a
five-kilometre pipeline.

God's water or not!

I'm the factory manager, but
also the head of the island.

More so, then. Do away with
old superstitions!

Kurage lags fifty years behind
the mainland, so it takes time.

There is no time.

No!

Thanks.

Thanks.

Moreover, I have no power
over that place.

The Noros are in charge of it.

- The shamans?
- Yes.

They have unspoken sovereign
authority there.

I must get them together and ask first.

Will they agree?

I don't know. That's why
I must ask, isn't it?

I'll begin checking. OK?

I imagine so.

- Is she very religious?
- She's my wife.

Then Uma...?

Unari. Show him the fetters.

The Ryu family suffered in feudal
days as serfs in the cane fields.

These were the fetters used then.

We keep them to remind ourselves
of our ancestors' hardships.

And to prevent ourselves from
breaking the laws of the Gods.

Lend me a match.

The people are very religious,
aren't they?

What deity is it?

The whole of creation, even grass,
they are all gods.

There are gods in the sea,
in the fields, and in the homes.

If you take them away,
nothing's left here.

Here's the trap.

Here.

Thanks.

Can I see Uma?

Don't be conceited. Go away.

Keep the chain quiet.
A disgrace!

Nekichi became wild after that.

Poaching with dynamite, stealing...

Chasing women, stealing other men's wives
In the end, even his own sister...

Many islanders died in the
malaria epidemic of 1947.

Nekichi's acts had angered the gods.

Is it true?

As proof a tidal wave put a big red rock
on his paddy field, for the gods.

An awful story.

So Mr. Ryu made Uma
stay with him.

Uma?

Yes.

Leading an honest life, she
became inspired, a Noro.

Her ancestors were Noros, so
she's the leading Noro here.

So in short, she's Ryu's mistress
isn't she?

What do they say on the mainland?

What do they say here?

Taking care of a woman, we say.

Anyway, it's lucky that Ryu's
looking after the leading Noro.

- To get god's water.
- That's something else.

Where have you been?

Praying on the beach.

Is it true?

Yes, it is.

You should serve the engineer.

A Noro's duty is to protect the
shrine and the island. Know that?

Go comfort the engineer.

Go!

Thanks. I've had quite enough.

- One more.
- I can't.

Are you hot, engineer?

Yes, so don't come close to me.

Do you dislike me?

It's not a matter of like or dislike.

It's too hot.

Wait, Uma!

I don't know what this is all about,
but it's a bit too much.

I'll sleep outside.

Wait, engineer!

Respect yourself. Understand?
Good night.

Engineer!

Fool!

Can't even do your duty as a Noro.

What happened tonight?

Nothing.

You didn't...?

You saw Nekichi?

No. Such a terrible thing.

You...

- What's this?
- I stumbled on a tree branch.

- This?
- That too.

- This?
- That too.

Where did you see Nekichi?
Where?

In the hole!

- What did you two do?
- Nothing.

Is it true?

Yes. We didn't do anything.

Swear it to the gods.

I swear!

To the Dongama gods?

To the Gods!

So help me God.

Dad!

Kame.

Can I have this boat, please?

- You should have told me first!
- You were fast asleep.

It took me half a year to fix the engine.

I'm off to Bird Island to collect
some bullets for gunpowder.

Don't break it.

Don't... don't do it.

You try, then.

I'm getting old. I used to row
easily when I was young.

No wind for sailing.

It's so fast!

Dad, what if they find us?

The Futoris shouldn't go to sea.

They won't find us.

That's heading for Vietnam.

Kametaro, look...

Beyond the shining sea,
there's Paradise Island...

...where there are no rules,
no betrayers.

There's enough land to produce
food for yourself.

There's no such island.
Only in the folk tale.

There is. I saw it during the war,
when I drifted in a storm.

Not many in Kurage know about it.

But some do.

They don't say so.

- Maybe they go there to fish.
- Why do they keep it a secret?

Because it's not part of Japan now.

It belongs to that country.

No one lives there?

They already have a huge country.

No one would live on such a tiny island.

I see.

Do you want to go there, Dad?

Yes.

Why don't you go, then?

- Because I'm digging to remove the rock.
- Why do you have to do that?

- That's the promise I made to Ryu.
- A promise?

Ryu is my comrade. I keep
my promises to him.

No. You're digging because
you like it.

Idiot!

Everyone says the Futoris are beasts.

Dad...

Did you really do the same thing
as Jaja did?

Is Auntie your sister,
as well as a wife...

Fool! Don't be silly.

- But they...
- Kame!

Human beings aren't allowed such things.

Man must not imitate the gods.

A war comrade, maybe,
but it's an old promise.

A promise is a promise.

Kame...

That rock may fall...

...by the end of this year,
maybe even sooner.

Really?

When it falls, we, the Futoris,
will move to God's island.

Not me. I don't want to go.
I want to go to Tokyo.

What for?

For whatever. I just want to go.

When the island began...

...the brother god
and sister goddess...

...did not know how to
have a baby...

So the god and goddess...

...they prayed to God

And they asked Him

Asked God for advice.

They telephoned God...

To ask Him.

Engineer. A letter. A letter.

From a Tokyo woman.

- My sister.
- My sister?

The God told them:

"Go in opposite directions
around the well"

They did as they were told, and
embraced when they met again.

And they became husband and wife.

Then God sent down birds
and animals, all in pairs.

Thus people, birds, animals, and
insects populated the island.

What is it?

No, Uma. It's too hot.

Fair skin!

- Stop it, Uma.
- It's shiny.

Mr. Futori will come.

- Give it back to me.
- Please hold me.

- Give it back!
- Hold me, please.

Give it back to me.

I wouldn't know what to tell Ryu.
I have a wife and children!

Your wife's having an affair!

How do you know? You read it?

Damn!

Love me or I'll become like this.

But I can't do something like that.

I told you to respect yourself.

I'm not like Shimajiri!
I'm sorry, but leave me alone.

This island's beyond me.

Very strange!

Give me a hand.
This branch is in the way.

- Futori!
- Yes.

One, two, three...

One, two, three.

What's the matter?

We must ask the Noros first
about breaking trees.

It's only the trees that block the survey.
They are dead anyway.

- Yes, but...
- But?

- God will punish us.
- You believe that?

No. I think it's superstition.

All right.

Cut down this tree then.

No! I'll do anything else.

Cut it down. Go on.

Please don't fire me!

I won't if you do it.

Destroy such superstition yourself!

Do it!

Quick!

Stop your nonsense!
That's enough!

If you can't, I will.
You'll see if I'm punished.

- What is it?
- We hit something.

- Another interference?
- It seems so.

Pull it up.

It's blocked.

The third time. Shit.

It's hot.

I'd approved preliminary investigation,
but this is going too far.

What is the Noros' answer?
It's been half a month now.

At all events, the destiny of
the island is at stake.

You always exaggerate.
Rubbish!

The islanders' faith is the foundation
of love and of the homeland.

I know that.

The company must take it seriously.

Cheap sugar cane...

...and cheap labour are available
because of this love.

- The company profits from it...
- Until now, but such old ideas are out after this.

But friendship is the bond between
the factory and the people.

It's too old fashioned!
You must be more rational.

Then the factory must pay
the balance of the advance.

I've already asked the company
about it. No answer yet.

- Shimajiri!
- But...

Futori!

Article 1 of the Higashi
Construction compay's policy...

...says "to be humane".

I don't deny that.
I'm doing this for the islanders.

But it keeps being interrupted.

Make your stand clearer.

- But...
- I want to finish it and go home!

I know how you feel. You must
be worried about your wife.

Make yourself clear or I will!
I'll catch the culprit.

Is that clear?

Chase him!

Dad!

Engineer, he ran this way!

Ryu!

- I found out who did it.
- Who?

- This man.
- I see.

I took his photo last night
and printed it.

I see. Well, well.

Who do you think it is?

Isn't it Nekichi Futori?

No.

Who, then?

I don't know.

Futori.

Who do you think this is?
Is it your father?

I'm not sure.

You've forgotten your father's face?

Isn't it a mistake?

Why?

Stop!

We all make mistakes.

Are you joking? It's definitely
Nekichi.

As you know, he's tied in the pit
by iron chains.

So it cannot be Nekichi.

Someone must have let him loose.

- You? Yes, it must be
- I didn't do it.

- Any idea, Ryu?
- No.

Then who was it!?

Worms are drifting!
Night has come!

It might be Nekichi.

On the other hand, it might not be.

Everybody lie down!

Here, please, engineer.

What's this?

- Superstition, I think, to ward off worms.
- Don't make a fool of me.

Ryu, I'll sleep at the site tonight.

- Outside?
- Shut up! You don't need to come any more.

Oh, it makes you feel good, Coca-cola!

END OF PART 1

What man will come and catch me?

Tempt me with sweet words?

Weaving the traditional pattern

Once it is finished
dedicate it to the Gods

In a moonlit night I leave the house

Gods of the sea...
- Toriko

The engineer's sleeping out in the woods,
where the machine is, you know.

Take him this sake.

Here, and a pillow too.

- Toriko!
- Kame!

Don't stop her. She's getting
a husband. A husband.

But...

A lover coming in the night...

Sneakin'in...

Sneakin'in...

Sneakin'in...

No, don't come in, Toriko!

Toriko!

Isn't it... hot?

Aren't you... hot?

Yes, it's hot.

Hot... hot.

Stop it! Toriko.

Someone's coming...

Toriko!

Stop it!

Someone's coming Toriko!

- Tomorrow
- Tomorrow?

Tomorrow. Honest.

Tomorrow at the West Beach

West Beach, okay.
Now hurry, hurry!

What are you doing?

You're the troublemaker!

Stop it!

What are you doing here?

Why chain me up?

Fool. Ask yourself.

I don't understand.

You grow older but not wiser.

You'll be punished simply for
walking around.

And now you hurt the engineer!

- You've got Ryugen into trouble.
- No, Ryu himself told me to protect the sacred woods.

My duty is to disturb the engineer's work.

I know that!

But did Ryugen tell you
to do it quite so openly?

You even had your picture taken.

Stick your leg out, Nekichi.

The spanner please.

- Can you see after the baby?
- What's up?

My sister's in labor.

- He's wet himself.
- I see.

I'll do it. Hurry, go.

Mr Kariya

It's you! What is it?

Now... it's the West Beach.

West Beach?

She's been waiting since yesterday,
saying you promised her.

Who?

My sister, Toriko.

She hasn't eaten for two days,
she won't listen to anyone.

Poor girl!

Toriko!

Toriko!

You've come.

You've been waiting since yesterday?

You've been here all the time?

I'm sorry I broke my promise.

I waited for you, engineer.

Toriko's got a husband,
you can join the Dongama festival.

I was told to help put a new roof
on Tsuchimochi's.

- Tsuchimochi's?
- Yes.

Long ago, his Grandfather
helped us thatch our roof.

I couldn't die without paying him back.

My first comunity work for twenty years.

Once the rock falls we can
be with everyone again.

When did I come here?

On one hand it seems like yesterday.

On the other hand, it seems like
long ago.

Engineer!

The wind won't let up for a while.

Let's leave the roof for now.

Typhoon no. 12 originated over
the South Seas and is now...

...at latitude 24 degrees North
and longitude 130 degrees East...

...moving to NNE at
10 km per hour.

Engineer. Latitude 24 North is
Kurage Island, isn't it?

This year's wind brings no rain.

- A dry wind.
- Laia.

The rock's falling!

Kame! Toriko!
The rock's falling!

Get out of here!

Come on, engineer!

The rock is falling!

- The rock is falling!
- Fall!

Come here, everyone!

Damn!

Just a little more.

God of the Wind!
Please make the rock fall!

I beseech and pray to Thee!

God of the Wind!

Please blow harder!

It's no good.
You must stand still!

You're getting slack!
Try harder!

Are you hungry?

Eat a lot to get stronger,
to make a god son-in-law.

Okay, come up!

Do you have a cigarette?

Engineer!

Is it all right? I must take him
to Kuburabari.

He's my son-in-law.
He must do our work only.

Brother! Jaja... Jaja!

What happened?

Jaja fell from the roof.
He's dying!

Pray, Uma!

Why don't you pray?

Call him back! Call back Jaja's
soul with your powers.

Hold on.

He's returning to nature.

Why did I make you the
engineer's assistant?

To bring him closer to the islanders,
so he can do the work more easily.

Is he okay now?

No. Pipes are arriving from Tokyo.
He has work to do.

Yes.

Entering. Entering.

The gods are entering.

Who are you?

I... can't breathe!

Hurry, tell us.
Who are you?

Tell us who you are!
Say it clearly, what's your name?

My feet slipped from the roof.

Jaja!

My head is cracked

Everyone in Kurage is one family.

All the families should help each other.

It hurts!

What's hurting you?
Tell us.

Nekichi, don't take off your chain.

It hurts!

Engineer, don't desert Toriko.

Kame, fear the gods of Dongama.

Toriko is pregnant.

Engineer, please go back.

Pipes are arriving from Tokyo.
Don't stay here.

What are you saying?
He's your brother now!

Don't get in the way, Dad!
I promised Ryu.

Ryu! No matter what he says!
The engineer's Toriko's husband.

Come on! Engineer!

- Kametaro!
- What are you doing?

- Kame, I won't go.
- Why not?

- Because it's better here.
- But it's hard and dirty.

I'm happier here.

But the pipes...

Tell Ryu, when they arrive,
I'll commute from here.

I can't.

Can you bring my stuff from his house?

It doesn't rain despite all the prayers.

It's all superstition.
Who believes in Noros?

I envy Ryugen Ryu. He makes love
to Uma and prays for rain!

What's this whiskey?
Did you put sea water in it?

Don't ask too much.
Wait until it rains to drink fresh water.

What's up, Kame?

The pipes are coming from Tokyo tomorrow.

The company's in a hurry, but...

So what?

I want you to take the engineer
back to Mr Ryu's...

to dig for water in Kukurabari.

What about Toriko?

What about her?

- She's a Futori.
- Breaking them up?

Yes.

I know. You're jealous because
he took your wife away.

Stop it!

Yamashiro, you're her husband
too, aren't you?

Fool! A lot of you
went before me.

But the first one was Kametaro.

We never know.

Fish! Fish are coming!

Who said so?

A Noro. Uma said so.

There was lightning.
So a shoal of fish is coming.

Get the fishing nets!

Let's go. It'll never come.

Let's go!

No, you mustn't give up being a Noro.

I am not one anymore.
The Gods have abandoned me.

There is no rain.
My prophecies never come true.

That's not the problem.

The drought, the sugar cane
suffers... and there's no fish.

The people are confused,
so they doubt everything.

We must show them the right path,
that's why Noros are needed now.

The Gods have just told me to
hand over my duties.

- To whom?
- Toriko.

Fool!

Toriko's not fit to be a Noro.

But it's the oracle of the Gods.

- Your mind is clouded.
- Clouded?

Ask yourself, haven't you
broken the divine laws?

Please come with us.
Mr Ryu's waiting.

I don't want to!

Hey! Kametaro!

Don't be rough.

What's up?

They've taken the engineer.

There you are.

- Congratulations!
- What's this?

- I don't like violence.
- Fogive me.

It was unavoidable.
Over there, please.

You've been promoted, Head of Department.

- Head of Department?
- Mr Higashi informed me last night.

He's set up a new company,
the Higashi Tourist Company.

You are head of sales.

Your task will be to develop
the tourism of Kurage.

Tourism? I've heard him talking about it.

A letter from your wife was enclosed.

Tourism is your father-in-law's dream.

It's coming true. We've been given
permission for an airport.

An airport?

Unari, where's Uma?

She went to pray.

By the way, Mr Higashi's
coming here in a few days.

Is it true? The chairman himself?

Here's the rain we've been
waiting for. Congratulations!

I'm sorry to say this...

...on such a happy day.

But the payment of the balance of
the advance has been cancelled.

In the face of a worldwide drop
in sugar prices...

all my efforts were totally in vain.

My deepest apologies to you all.

But I, Ryugen Ryu, am confident about the
talks concerning the land for the airport.

I am sure we can sell our land
at a higher price to compensate...

for the cancelled balance.

For those whose land is not in the
area of the airport...

well-paid jobs at the airport
will be secured.

I will do you good!

Engineer!

Wait.

Why don't you come home?

My father-in-law is here.

Toriko's gone mad.

She won't eat nor drink.

- Come home
- Don't worry, I will.

- Don't make the baby a bastard.
- I know.

I promise to come back. Later.

Promise?

Wait.

Don't go!

Settle it with money.

It's not a question of money.
I'll tell my father-in-law.

Don't! You'd put me
in a very difficult position.

Auntie!

Auntie!

So Mr Ryu gave me some money...

To take Toriko to the
mainland for an abortion.

Dad will be mad.
Tell me what to do!

The gods have abandoned me.

I don't know anything anymore.

Must she have the abortion
for the sake of the island?

Auntie, tell me!

It's terrible.

Where are we going?

A nice place. To the mainland.

To have fun.

There will be cars, electricity
and pachinko machines.

Where are we going brother?

Don't worry. Relax.

Excuse me.

Toriko!

Let's go and play pinball!
Stay still Toriko!

Toriko!

The Futoris are beasts after all.

It runs in the family.

How awful. Wonder what
horrible things will happen.

Kurage is cursed because of the Futoris.

It rained, but the wells are still dry.

It's because of Nekichi's pit.

The shrine well is almost dry too.

Without water, our land won't
fetch a good price.

It's all due to those beasts the Futoris.

Everyone says it's because
of Nekichi's pit.

Jump! Jump!

Jump!

I'm scared!

Jump! Jump!

I'm scared!

Jump, I said jump!

Jump! Godamn, jump!

Brother!

The brother god, and the sister god...

...were laughing and smiling

They were happy...

...living together

But a violent god...

...came to them

Forced them to part

Forced them to part

The brother's tears...

...became clouds

The sister's blood...

...became the earth

The clouds and the earth...

...were in harmony

Leave? You're telling me to
leave this pit?

Yes, Nekichi.

You've worked long and hard

Your work is over, leave this place

This is public property, so normally
you wouldn't get anything

But after all your hard work,
I'm ready to pay you

The rock will fall in less than ten days

Good work, you must be tired

It's time to have money and take it easy

And Uma?
Will you give her back to me?

Not right away

She has her duty as a Noro

I've been digging for 20 years

I kept digging for 20 years
to get Uma back

- Only because we were comrades
- I didn't order it!

The gods did!
I just followed their orders.

When did they change their minds?

They told me to stay here!

- Now to leave!
- Fool!

Aren't you afraid of the gods?

It doesn't make sense

I won't leave!

Until the rock falls and I get
Uma back, I won't move.

And I must protect the shrine as well.

No, we are moving it to the South Woods.

We need this place for the airport.

- Moving the shrine?
- Yes.

Right after the Dongama Festival.

The Noros agreed.

- Even Uma?
- She agreed too.

She wouldn't.

She wants to stop being a
Noro and come back.

Nekichi, Uma's over thirty years old.

She's not a little girl anymore.

She hasn't changed, she's still the same.

The island's changed, so has she.
She's not yours anymore.

She's the same!

She wouldn't change for you!
Uma belongs to me.

The gods know of your sins.

It's not the gods, it's you!

You accused Uma and me,
but we were innocent!

But I gave in because we
were comrades in arms.

That's why I don't want to
force you to leave.

See, everyone is happy
to sell their land.

They'll get an unbelievable
amount of money.

Your stubbornness will spoil it all.

Think of the island and of the others.

No! I refuse!

- Even with compensation?
- Of course.

Go home, comrade.

- And send the engineer back!
- I refuse!

Toriko doesn't talk anymore.
The engineer must be sad.

Things change.
Everything must change.

Ryugen! You're the heretic!

It's you who should fear the gods!

We were falsely accused twenty years ago.

Only Ryugen and Unari
were kind to us then.

But he's changed.

Uma. Have you changed too?

No. I haven't changed!

But you're Ryugen's...

...mistress.

I was only fifteen then.
I couldn't do anything about it!

Ryugen must have realised
you were a virgin.

We're man and wife in our hearts.

Can't we even be it now?

The gods know everything.

No, brother. We mustn't!

Brother!

Wait!

Stop!

It won't be long now.

What's that?

No!

What are you doing? Madmen!

I said stop it!

Damn it!

You're filling up the hole!

Run, Uma!

I'm digging for the gods' paddy field!

I'm doing this...
for everybody's sake!

Wait... wait a minute!

Spare me! Forgive me!

Forgive me!

Spare me and I won't see Uma anymore!

I won't take off my chains
and I'll pray to the gods!

I won't go to the sea!

I won't poach with gunpowder!

I won't do anything!

I'll do anything you say!

Please!

Please! I beg you!

Forgive me!

Forgive me!

Thank you.

I understand you now.

I won't do anything bad no more.
I apologize!

I beg you, please help him.

Uma, give me a match.

Brother...

The rock's falling!
Uma run quick!

Run!

Brother!

- Brother!
- Dad!

Brother!

Brother, where are you?

Dad!

Brother!

Brother! Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Dad...

It fell, Uma, it fell.

The rock fell.

Brother, the rock fell!
I'm so glad!

I'm so happy!

It fell down...

Hurry, get on

Dad, all the islanders are in trouble
because you won't sell this place.

Sell it for everybody's sake.

You'd get 250,000 yen for the field.

And land and a house on the mainland.

A paltry sum.
I can't sell the gods field.

- But Dad, everyone is...
- Bring it here.

The field is back...

the Futoris are back like before...

I wish Jaja could see it.

Auntie, Mr Ryu wants you back right away.

Why?

For the Dongama Festival.
You're a Noro!

I was abandoned by the gods.

I can't take part.

Toriko.

You have to take my place as a Noro.

Yes.

The gods want you to.

Yes.

Toriko, do you understand?

Yes!

The boss of the company
wants me to go back.

I must go back to Tokyo on the next ship.

Tokyo?

I'll be back no matter what.
That's the truth!

Don't go!

Believe me!

I don't like Tokyo, I don't like
my wife and her parents.

I like you more than anything!

So listen to what I'm going to say.

Darling... what is it?

Watch out! It's still alive!

Wait Toriko!

- Let's go to West Beach
- All right, let's go

Tomorrow! Let's go then!

- Tomorrow?
- Yes, before the ship leaves!

What? Futori got 250,000 yen?

Yes. I only got 150,000 for
the same amount of land.

Of course, Futori's special.

It's the Gods'paddy field.

Fool! Uma is Ryugen's mistress.

But Nekichi hasn't sold it yet.

The rock fell but he won't.

Wants to raise the price.

At night Uma works on Ryugen.

Damn!

The rest of us work so hard.

We didn't even get the rest
of the advance.

Nekichi is the smart one.

We're all fools.

Shit! We should have
buried him in that pit.

Kill that beast!

Kame, from now on you treat us all.

Why?

How much were you paid
for being Ryu's dog?

Father and son, both beasts!

- I'm not!
- You are!

- I'm in the festival!
- It won't make you a human being.

Only a superstitious natives' festival!

But you'll all attend, won't you?

No!

We don't help Ryugen anymore.

None of our family would
become his mistress!

If you don't, Mr Fumoto will
give you a hard time.

- Who's Fumoto?
- He's Ryugen's shadow.

Who's Ryugen, anyway?

Who cares!

The Dongama's a fake!

- We won't go!
- Never!

Smash Dongama!

Master, please don't do this
to me any more. Spare me!

Only you know my true feelings.
No one else does.

I can't take part in
the Dongama Festival.

I hear the drums.

Make up your mind.

It's our most important festival.

A Noro must attend.

What will we do without you?

Save our island from evil, will you?

My prophecies don't come true
anymore. The rain...

How many times do I have to tell you?

Obey the gods and your power will return.

Let Toriko... become the Noro!

Idiot!

This tourist business is a bit of
unexpected luck for this island.

So the people become greedy
and doubts arise.

I know peasants love their land.

But we must introduce a new system.

We have no choice but to get rid
of people who oppose it.

You know I only care about the
happiness of the island and the people.

Uma, attend the festival and
receive the divine message.

Then, tell everybody Nekichi opposes it.

How he is against tourism
and Mr Higashi, Uma!

No, I can't do that!

Spare me this!

Engineer!

Kariya!

Are you disobeying me?

Forgive me master!

What did you do with Nekichi?

Tell me, or I'll hit you like this!

Forgive me!

Never!

I won't give you to the likes of Nekichi!

Not to the likes of him!

No matter what happens to
the rock or the pit...

You're mine!

Master...

Master! Master!

Master!

You're here! You said
you wouldn't come.

You're here, too.

Father cried when I said
I wouldn't attend.

Mine, too.

It's hard when old people cry.

It's our most important festival.

We will never be able to reform
this place like this.

But if we don't get along with people,
we can't live on Kurage.

It hurts being clubbed at Dongama.

Do you or do you not believe in Dongama?

I do!

Is it true?

- It's true.
- Arms up!

All right!
Bring the sak�!

Don't choke!
Drink it all!

Arms up!

Mr Ryu it's time for the oracle.

Mr Ryu?

Mr Ryu!

- Mr Ryu...
- Not here? Since when?

All the time, it seems.

All the time? Why?

I don't know.

Where's Mr Ryu?

- Mr Ryu?
- I don't know.

Uma!

Do you know where Uma's gone?

Ryu's dead! He's been killed!

Who killed him?

He's chained... with fetters...

- Nekichi!
- It's Nekichi!

The oil store!

- Who set fire to it?
- Who?

- It's Nekichi! The beast!
- Find him!

Nekichi!

Nekichi, come out!

He's run away.

Dad...

Uma, do you think Toriko's all right?

Yes, she will.

Once I have built a paddy field and a
house on God's island, I'll go fetch her.

But it will take at least three months.

Don't worry. Kametaro's there.

We can't count on him!

I know he'll go to Tokyo.

Mrs Ryu will look after her.

But Toriko's half-witted.

Toriko's a Noro. A true Noro.

The Gods will protect her.

What is it, Uma?

Nothing, only...

Are you thinking about Ryugen?

What will people say of us
not attending his funeral...

That's why we asked Mrs Ryu
to take care of things.

But...

It's already autumn.
We must hurry.

I told Mrs Ryu that I'd visit
Ryugen's grave later.

Until the Dongama and funeral
are over, it will be storm season.

That's why Mrs Ryu told us to
leave the island immediately.

Uma, feed the chickens.

The engine's overheated.

I need to turn it off.

Eat.

You'll lose energy if you don't.

Brother!

I love you!

We're alone. There's no one but us.
We're all alone!

We'll be very busy Uma.

No one's on the god's island.
We'll work, just we two.

We'll farm, catch fish and
build up our farm stock.

Uma!

Aren't we like the Gods?

We'll found the God's island.

Won't we, Uma?

We'll found a new island.

Brother! I love you more
than anybody else.

More than anyone else.

To the West. They must be headed
for the God's island.

Kame, how long will his motor last?

Not very long.

- How long?
- Five or six hours.

All right. Pretty soon, then.

Uma, drink this.

Why not?
Do you feel bad?

Seasick? Cheer up!

We still have a long way to go.
You need to drink.

Kame. Water.

Tsuchimochi.

I've found it!
I see a red sail!

Shit!

Hey, who are you?

Is it Fumoto?

Kametaro, brother!

Uma! What's it all about?

Did they bring Toriko?

Sacred wine. Drink it!

Kame, I know it's hard for you,
but we must obey the rule!

Put on your masks!

Hey, who are you?

Uma is sick!

Take off your masks!

I know anyway who you are!

Stop joking!

I know the steersman is Fumoto.
Take off your mask!

Is Toriko there?
Kame!

Kametaro!

Uma! What's goin' on Uma?

You tell them! Don't they know
what happened?

Uma! Tell them!

We didn't do anything!

Ryugen died of natural causes!

We are innocent!

Ask Mrs Ryu, if you think I'm lying!

Mrs Ryu knows everything!

Kame! Tell them, if you're there!

Kame!

Kame, aren't you there?

Kametaro!

Paddles up!

Uma!

- Punish him!
- Brother!

Brother!

Why do they...
Uma, come here.

- It's my father!
- Kame!

Brother!

Brother!

Brother, I loved you!

Let's go back now.

Put on your masks!

Take your paddles!

Go!

FIVE YEARS LATER

- Hello, it's been a long time!
- Yes, a long time.

Hope you are well?

Mrs Higashi, and this is my wife.

- Mr Fumoto, the factory manager.
- Thank you!

Coca-Cola!

Once upon a time,

a long long time ago

A brother and a sister,

a god and a goddess

founded an island together.

This is the story,

how the island began.

This is their story.

A red sail on a cabani...

Cold Coca-Cola!
Icecold Coca-Cola!

Should we give him money?

- How much is appropriate?
- Ten yen is enough.

What's the song about?
It's hard to understand.

An old song about our island.

This way, please.

One day, the cabani, all on its own...

What's a cabani?

A canoe. They have motors now.

Even now, on evenings with a west wind...

you can see the red sail
of the cabani of the Gods.

- Really?
- No, no, it's an old story

Not in our modern times.

But I saw it. So did the
other islanders.

Tales, nothing but tales.

Why did you come back?

You disappeared.
I was worried.

I'm sorry that I've left the position
you'd recommended me for.

Why? Didn't you like Tokyo?

No, it wasn't that...

You had a reputation at the factory
as a hard worker, for years.

I'm sorry.

I heard there was work here...

on the anniversary of my
father's and Toriko's death.

It's best to work the land at home.

No, it's not.

It hurts my heart more to be here.

But...

in Tokyo I didn't feel like myself.

All in pieces.

It troubled me.

I wanted to reflect on what Dad did,

what I've done...

and what you did.

I was in a difficult position.

No, I'm not trying to blame
you, engineer.

Why did you leave Toriko to her fate?

Why did I kill my own father?

Was it really for the sake of the island?

I want to think it over,
here on the island.

Mother, look at that unusual rock!

They say it's a girl who turned to rock
while waiting for her lover.

What a romantic story!

It's called "Toriko Rock". It really
happened not so long ago.

- Really?
- Sure!

Mr Kariya knows all about her.

Do you, darling?

The islanders aren't very clever.

They get stories and reality
all mixed up.

It shows how simple and pure they are.

Kurage's Island soaked in sentiment.

Toriko!

Toriko!

Toriko!

I'm sorry.
