Original subtitles

I heard that you argued with Sir Bansui.

No, it wasn't anything like that, sir.

He asked for my opinion, and I told him.

So you told him that his tactics are fraught with flaws?

Yes, I did.

Thanks to you, he said something sarcastic to me.

Well, he's too narrow-minded, then.

It has nothing to do with you.

Listen till the end.

He said sarcastic things about you, but praised you as well.

He said you're able to grasp the situation by noticing the smallest details.

He also said he has high hopes for your future.

That's Sir Bansui.

It's very kind of him to say so.

Your future?

You really have grown up.

It's all thanks to you, Master Matsuki.

Raise your head.

We'll celebrate your coming-of-age tomorrow.

From now on, you shall be known as Iemon.

But the name is...

Take this sword.

Both the name and the sword are yours now.

That's it!

I lost again. That's so frustrating.

No, I was just lucky.

You can't be lucky every time.

And you always aim at my throat.

In order to kill the enemy, beheading him is the best.

Master Matsuki, do you have anything to tell me?

Yes. I'd like to hear your answer from back in the day.

Iemon, you've become stronger and smarter since you came here.

It's all thanks to you, sir.

No, all I did was pick up a lump of crystal.

It started to glow by itself once I kept it.

But when you came here, you said,

"I feel like I want to be a samurai, but at the same time, I don't."

Your coming-of-age ceremony is over,

so you're already a samurai whether you like it or not.

Do you have regret about it?

Since then, have you found your answer?

I cannot thank you enough for your kindness.

I owe it to you that I am still alive.

But my answer would be truly rude.

It would be as if I forgot your kindness.

It would be unacceptable.

So, you already have your answer.

The moon is disappearing from view behind the clouds.

There will be no stars in the sky tonight.

It will be completely dark.

I, Matsuki Kensuke, will hear your answer in the darkness

and it will stay locked up in the darkness.

Whatever your answer is, I will never reveal it to anyone.

I will take it to my grave.

- Master Matsuki! - Tell me, Iemon.

Sir!

Master Matsuki, please allow me to tell you my answer.

Every single samurai in this world

should be annihilated!

ONIMUSHA

HARBINGER

It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Miyamoto Musashi.

Well?

Are you weeping by any chance?

It is hard to believe that you're the Musashi

who has slaughtered your opponents in numerous battles and duels.

I am not...

going to let you live!

What a harsh comment!

Sir Musashi, you can kill me with a single blow for sure.

That's especially why I'd like you to listen to me.

You won't lose anything just by listening.

That's not the point.

This is all about humanity.

Humanity?

I thought you just turned into an Oni.

Sayo.

What a pathetic sight!

It deserves to be called hell on earth.

It really is a pathetic sight, but it's showing you a new path.

After what you have done, you can't be with her again.

And since you learned about the lord's intention,

you can't return to the domain.

Now that you have entered this gold mine, I will not let you leave in one piece.

And now that you know you are no longer young,

you can't go anywhere without the Oni Gauntlet.

Therefore, you have no choice, but to live with me.

It makes no sense!

Sir Musashi, here's what I think.

All the samurais in this world are unfortunate and miserable.

I believe it's better if they all get killed.

Why do you think so?

Because they are lap dogs of the Shogunate who just get paid and live in peace.

And what, exactly, is wrong with that?

As long as the reign of the Tokugawa continues, it won't be a problem.

However, foreign nations will eventually invade our country.

When that happens, what we need is not lap dogs, but wolves!

We need wolves that can bite off the enemies' throats.

For our country and its future,

samurais need to be disciplined once again.

I want to become a samurai who lives in such a future.

But there will be no samurais if you kill them all.

We're going to winnow them down to find wolves among dogs

by killing the dogs.

But how?

Sekigahara.

It was the great battle which once divided samurais into two sides

and determined the future of this country.

It was a serious battle where a brief misjudgment

cost you an arm or a head.

We need that!

You've been through it, so you know that hell.

That battle must have shaped and perfected

you and Master Matsuki in your younger days.

Master Matsuki was astounded that it was just a dream,

but he did not laugh.

How do we mobilize an army to challenge the Tokugawa?

And how do we get weapons and provisions?

He was astounded that there were so many problems,

but he did not laugh, why?

Because he knew that it was hard to achieve, but not impossible.

We build an army with the Genmas, and let them fight with new weapons.

It's the Sekigahara of the new era.

How thrilling is that!

What do you think about my dream, Sir Musashi?

What do you think?

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Please!

I like it.

Nonsense.

Sir Musashi, you should think twice.

You, as the one and only swordsman, shouldn't be struggling here like this.

You no longer need to be bothered by rat races or wander around.

Our warring age is almost here.

Then you can wield that mighty sword skill to its fullest extent.

Sir Iemon...

Sahei, I'm disappointed that everyone died, but I'm glad you survived.

Your intelligence will be beneficial to me.

Let's talk about it later.

Rest assured

that your aged body and rusty skills will be revived by the Genma's power

as you already witnessed.

- Yoshioka? - Yes.

And there's one more.

It can't be.

No. I knew you'd be there.

Sasaki Kojiro!

We meet at last, Musashi.

Kojiro! Sasaki Kojiro!

That's right.

He's a genius swordsman and Musashi's biggest rival.

The Yoshioka Brothers and Sasaki Kojiro.

If we can resurrect the great swordsmen with the Genma's power,

we can raise the strongest army.

After we defeat the Tokugawa and unite the nation, we'll conquer Asia.

And then Europe.

You got old.

Why haven't you changed?

Who cares?

Sir Musashi, this Gauntlet will be a pain in the butt for us.

We must destroy it.

Now that I've stated my thoughts, it's time for you to make a decision.

Are you going to get killed by Sir Kojiro as a human here?

Or are you going to commit yourself to another life of battles as an Oni?

Sir Musashi, please answer me.

Sir Musashi?

Sir Kojiro,

will you cut off his arms so that he will not need to choose?

- Sir Iemon! - Keep quiet, Sahei!

If he loses his arms, he can make a decision.

Don't worry. I am ready to treat him immediately.

Both his arms?

Please don't, Sir Kojiro!

Please go ahead, Sir Kojiro.

Good grief.

He's such a noisy guy.

Hey, why would you even listen to this fool?

Oni, Ma, foreign nations or whatever they are,

have you been fighting for such things?

To be the one and only.

That should be reason enough to fight.

You're right.

Sir Iemon.

Sir Musashi, we're surrounded!

I will take care of them. You guys get in that thing and run.

Forgive me.

I am an Oni.

But I don't care anymore.

I'll take care of the rest.

Go down the mountain with Sahei.

Bye.

Sayo.

Thanks.

So, you may be not as old as you look.

I am old.

The longer you live, the more you get tired.

Is that so?

I can teach you now.

We are the Oni clan who were annihilated by the Genma.

Musashi, kill the Genma

and seal its soul into the Gauntlet.

Okay, let's do this.

I'm gonna get that damned soul.

Now I can freely fight.

I've been waiting for this moment.

I waited and waited.

I waited so long.

I kept waiting!

You always made me wait.

Hey, I'll take back my words.

You have changed a lot.

You will see the difference now.

Let's resume the Ganryujima duel.

Musashi!

I knew it. You're my biggest rival in my life.

I'm going to make you rest in peace this time for sure.

Get out of my way!

Swallow Counter.

No, it was a double.

You're a genius as always.

And you are tough for your age.

So exciting.

The new Sekigahara?

That's so exciting! I like it!

Master Matsuki, the moon is reappearing.

It's just a fantasy on a dark night.

Please keep it to yourself.

Do not worry.

No one would believe such a fantasy...

except me.

Master Matsuki.

Iemon, tell me more about your dream someday again.

Yes, sir!
