Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:13,819
Lone Wolf and Cub
2
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:53,350
According to the laws of
the government in Edo
3
00:01:53,413 --> 00:01:56,189
bodies of criminals
that have been executed
4
00:01:56,249 --> 00:01:58,525
were sometimes used
to test their swords.
5
00:01:58,751 --> 00:02:01,823
These sword testers were
appointed by the shogun or daimyo
6
00:02:01,888 --> 00:02:04,334
to test the sharpness
of new swords.
7
00:02:04,557 --> 00:02:06,434
The man in charge
of testing the swords
8
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:08,973
is none other than Asaemon Yamada.
9
00:02:25,845 --> 00:02:30,817
Headhunter Asaemon
10
00:02:31,417 --> 00:02:33,328
Asaemon Yoshitsugu Yamada.
11
00:02:34,487 --> 00:02:36,990
I am here under your orders.
12
00:02:37,423 --> 00:02:38,800
Let's get right down to business.
13
00:02:38,858 --> 00:02:42,169
Who do you think is the
best man-slayer of today?
14
00:02:43,596 --> 00:02:44,438
What?
15
00:02:44,497 --> 00:02:45,840
To slay a man.
16
00:02:46,366 --> 00:02:47,606
In other words
17
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:50,876
who do you think is the most
skillful man-slayer out there.
18
00:02:50,937 --> 00:02:53,281
The first person that
comes to my mind
19
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:57,181
is none other than the man from the
Yagyu shadow clan, Lord Retsudo.
20
00:02:57,410 --> 00:02:58,218
I see.
21
00:02:58,278 --> 00:03:01,418
Also, I believe the former executioner
22
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:04,627
Lord ltto Ogami of Suio-ryu
is also a worthy candidate.
23
00:03:07,086 --> 00:03:08,394
There is one more.
24
00:03:10,256 --> 00:03:12,634
Asaemon Yoshitsugu Yamada.
25
00:03:12,725 --> 00:03:14,329
I'm talking about you.
26
00:03:14,394 --> 00:03:17,273
No, I am nothing compared to them.
27
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:19,241
No need to be modest.
28
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:21,636
Yamada-ryu corpse-slicing technique.
29
00:03:21,701 --> 00:03:25,740
If you use it against a living person,
it is as good as Yagyu's or Ogami's.
30
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:27,714
Otherwise...
31
00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:31,122
You wouldn't have been assigned
the position as the sword tester.
32
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:33,755
Thank you for your kind words.
33
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:38,193
By the way, what is your
relationship to ltto Ogami?
34
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:41,197
When he was still the
executioner for the Shogunate
35
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:44,395
I visited Lord Ogami
one night and he led me
36
00:03:44,791 --> 00:03:46,634
to the hall with the Buddha statue.
37
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,902
These memorial tablets
represent the names of people
38
00:03:51,998 --> 00:03:55,878
that I have beheaded
as an executioner.
39
00:03:57,570 --> 00:04:00,983
Praying night and day for their souls
to rest in peace is very admirable.
40
00:04:02,041 --> 00:04:03,884
I am impressed.
41
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:09,123
Praying for their souls
42
00:04:09,582 --> 00:04:12,222
is a cowardly act in my mind.
43
00:04:13,386 --> 00:04:14,729
What did you say?
44
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:17,500
Fearing their deep-seated grudge and
45
00:04:17,557 --> 00:04:19,662
begging for mercy to
escape their curse...
46
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:25,174
That is certainly unworthy conduct
of a man who wields a sword.
47
00:04:26,032 --> 00:04:27,739
I did it in the name of the government
48
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,145
but it was I, ltto Ogami,
who beheaded those daimyo.
49
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:35,482
Therefore, I will take their grudge.
50
00:04:36,042 --> 00:04:38,386
I will expose myself
to their curse as well.
51
00:04:38,678 --> 00:04:40,624
That will help me reach
a state of nothingness
52
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,150
from a combination of
subjectivity and objectivity.
53
00:04:44,717 --> 00:04:45,695
Lord Ogami.
54
00:04:46,586 --> 00:04:49,396
I'm also a man who seeks to
improve my swordsmanship skills.
55
00:04:49,822 --> 00:04:52,132
I know I'm nowhere as good as you
56
00:04:52,458 --> 00:04:55,098
but I'm sure I'll become
better with your guidance.
57
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:57,964
Please let me be your disciple.
58
00:04:58,631 --> 00:05:02,443
It is a battle against oneself.
59
00:05:03,403 --> 00:05:07,749
That is what achieving the state
of nothingness is all about.
60
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:21,329
Ever since then,
I have thought of Lord Ogami
61
00:05:21,387 --> 00:05:23,526
as both my master and brother.
62
00:05:28,795 --> 00:05:30,900
Kill ltto Ogami!
63
00:05:34,934 --> 00:05:36,072
What!
64
00:05:36,369 --> 00:05:39,407
According to rumors,
Rio has become an assassin
65
00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:43,648
and has been walking the path
of bloodshed along with his son.
66
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:49,287
The Yagyu shadow clan wanted to
get the position of the executioner
67
00:05:49,582 --> 00:05:50,925
so they set a trap.
68
00:05:51,584 --> 00:05:56,329
Itto fell for their tricks, and in order
to prove his innocence and get even
69
00:05:56,422 --> 00:05:58,333
he decided to become an assassin.
70
00:05:58,424 --> 00:06:00,131
Let's put his reasons aside.
71
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:04,163
A man who was once known as the
official executioner of the Shogunate
72
00:06:04,497 --> 00:06:08,639
is now killing others as an assassin.
This is a very serious matter.
73
00:06:09,635 --> 00:06:12,673
He has brought disgrace
to the government
74
00:06:13,072 --> 00:06:16,076
and therefore we must
get rid of him discreetly.
75
00:06:17,610 --> 00:06:21,854
But I feel it might be best
to find out the truth first.
76
00:06:21,914 --> 00:06:25,191
We will look into the Yagyu.
77
00:06:25,518 --> 00:06:27,998
This is an important task
that can only be done by you.
78
00:06:28,421 --> 00:06:30,367
You will do it, right?
79
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:34,197
Well?
80
00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:40,709
Yes.
81
00:06:41,234 --> 00:06:42,269
I'll do it.
82
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:44,347
Good.
83
00:06:44,871 --> 00:06:49,718
That's what I expect from the
sword tester, Asaemon Yamada.
84
00:06:50,676 --> 00:06:52,952
As a man who lives by
the way of the sword
85
00:06:53,679 --> 00:06:57,149
you could say I was
destined to fight Lord Ogami.
86
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:58,293
Right.
87
00:06:59,685 --> 00:07:04,634
By combining
subjectivity and objectivity
88
00:07:05,324 --> 00:07:08,134
one is able to reach
the state of nothingness.
89
00:07:08,494 --> 00:07:12,965
It is a battle against oneself.
90
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:16,210
That is what Lord Ogami
has taught me.
91
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:42,329
Are you the chief priest?
92
00:07:42,795 --> 00:07:43,796
That's right.
93
00:07:44,096 --> 00:07:47,737
I would like to hold a memorial service
for my late wife's third anniversary.
94
00:07:53,773 --> 00:07:56,845
This boy's mother has passed away?
95
00:07:57,677 --> 00:07:59,156
I'm sorry to hear that.
96
00:07:59,579 --> 00:08:02,059
I would like to stay here and
pray for the next seven days.
97
00:08:02,248 --> 00:08:03,921
Will you let me do that?
98
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:05,385
Of course.
99
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:08,799
You can pray as much as you like.
100
00:08:08,855 --> 00:08:09,959
Thank you.
101
00:08:10,456 --> 00:08:12,663
I've been busy wandering
from one place to another.
102
00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:16,898
So I had no time to
pray for my late wife.
103
00:08:17,196 --> 00:08:21,201
But now, I can fulfill my dearest wish.
104
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:26,480
Congratulations on getting
an important duty.
105
00:08:31,978 --> 00:08:33,218
It's dead?
106
00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:35,549
Oh, you're right.
107
00:08:36,015 --> 00:08:38,017
Did you feed it anything
that was rotten?
108
00:08:38,084 --> 00:08:39,529
No, I didn't.
109
00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:43,865
This is truly tragic.
110
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:48,733
What's so funny?
111
00:08:49,328 --> 00:08:53,105
You're about to go kill Lord ltto Ogami
112
00:08:53,299 --> 00:08:56,872
but you're fretting over
the death of some bird.
113
00:08:57,003 --> 00:08:58,573
Some bird?
114
00:08:59,005 --> 00:09:01,542
You could be promoted
after this task, you know.
115
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:08,784
You think killing ltto Ogami is
going to get me a promotion?
116
00:09:09,248 --> 00:09:11,091
If you complete this task
117
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:13,596
you'll be held in high esteem
by the government ministers
118
00:09:13,719 --> 00:09:15,995
and receive a large amount
of money and land.
119
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:18,133
It's truly an honor for our clan.
120
00:09:19,425 --> 00:09:21,336
Don't speak of such nonsense!
121
00:09:26,632 --> 00:09:27,799
I don't understand...
122
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,780
I don't understand...
Who do you think ltto Ogami is?
123
00:09:30,002 --> 00:09:33,814
He is a rebel who has brought
disgrace to the government.
124
00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:37,950
You and your imprudence.
125
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:39,352
Then what is he?
126
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:41,790
You don't find many true
samurai like him these days.
127
00:09:41,847 --> 00:09:43,053
You must be kidding.
128
00:09:44,617 --> 00:09:45,687
What?
129
00:09:45,885 --> 00:09:51,028
You won't be able to kill
Lord Ogami with that kind of thinking.
130
00:09:58,664 --> 00:10:01,577
Starting today, we're no
longer husband and wife.
131
00:10:03,869 --> 00:10:04,745
I'm getting a divorce.
132
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:07,549
What? You separated?
133
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,186
I'm heading out to complete my task
134
00:10:10,242 --> 00:10:13,451
and my family will be
nothing but a distraction.
135
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:15,614
You show great determination.
136
00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:17,822
You show great determination.
From here on, I, Asaemon Yoshitsugu
137
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:22,331
must become a mere samurai
and forget about rank and honor.
138
00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:25,795
If I don't, then I will not stand
a chance against Lord Ogami.
139
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:28,033
That's very admirable of you.
140
00:10:30,696 --> 00:10:32,403
And where's Lord Ogami now?
141
00:10:32,932 --> 00:10:35,970
We just had a report
from one of the spies
142
00:10:36,268 --> 00:10:39,272
that he's been spotted
near the Shiojiri Peak.
143
00:10:39,372 --> 00:10:42,080
If you take a horse, you can
get there in less than three days.
144
00:10:42,241 --> 00:10:44,414
Ogami and Yagyu have been
feuding for a long time.
145
00:10:44,577 --> 00:10:48,525
If that is true, then Yagyu will
most likely take action as well.
146
00:10:49,248 --> 00:10:51,091
Watch out for the Yagyu.
147
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:54,395
Yes.
148
00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:42,072
Yamada-ryu corpse-slicing
technique and this Demon Blade.
149
00:11:44,403 --> 00:11:46,679
Time to go through an ordeal.
150
00:11:56,582 --> 00:11:59,620
Suio-ryu and Dotanuki.
151
00:12:00,319 --> 00:12:03,027
Tell me what the state
of nothingness is!
152
00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:50,142
Yagyu shadow clan?
153
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:11,894
Now...
154
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:45,601
Behind you!
155
00:13:48,794 --> 00:13:49,636
Side!
156
00:13:52,731 --> 00:13:53,903
You little brat!
157
00:14:51,423 --> 00:14:52,959
Thanks for your help.
158
00:14:54,226 --> 00:14:57,332
I would like to see your father
and thank him in person
159
00:14:57,930 --> 00:14:59,307
but I'm kind of in a hurry.
160
00:15:00,165 --> 00:15:01,166
Go.
161
00:15:08,974 --> 00:15:10,180
Go on!
162
00:15:46,979 --> 00:15:50,222
Sorry to disturb you like this,
but I have something to tell you.
163
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:54,864
It seems like your son went out to
the mountain to collect some akebia.
164
00:15:55,487 --> 00:15:57,967
While he was there,
a fight occurred.
165
00:15:58,190 --> 00:16:01,262
He got mixed up in the quarrel,
but some samurai
166
00:16:01,327 --> 00:16:03,307
helped him from getting injured.
167
00:16:04,129 --> 00:16:08,236
And that samurai ended up
getting injured instead.
168
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:12,271
Daddy!
169
00:16:12,838 --> 00:16:14,943
Looks like your son
is concerned as well.
170
00:16:15,574 --> 00:16:17,451
I'm sure he's still around the area.
171
00:16:17,776 --> 00:16:20,518
Why don't you go
find him and thank him?
172
00:17:18,804 --> 00:17:20,477
I saw it with my own eyes!
173
00:17:22,341 --> 00:17:23,376
Lord Retsudo.
174
00:17:23,742 --> 00:17:25,744
Now is our chance to kill Asaemon.
175
00:17:25,811 --> 00:17:27,552
Let's head to the
charcoal shack now and...
176
00:17:27,613 --> 00:17:28,284
Wait!
177
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:32,027
Headhunter Asaemon and
his corpse-slicing technique.
178
00:17:32,317 --> 00:17:34,854
I never knew it would be this great.
179
00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:42,530
His skills are just as
good as ltto Ogami's.
180
00:17:43,462 --> 00:17:45,669
That's why we must kill him now.
181
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:46,709
No...
182
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:49,878
But it might be fun to
pit them against each other.
183
00:17:49,935 --> 00:17:52,142
But he has been injured.
184
00:17:52,805 --> 00:17:55,718
I don't think he will stand
a chance against ltto Ogami.
185
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:58,145
We shall nurse him back to health.
186
00:18:00,212 --> 00:18:03,284
We should send a woman to help him.
187
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:04,754
What?
188
00:18:06,485 --> 00:18:09,091
You must pretend to be nice
189
00:18:09,154 --> 00:18:11,657
but you have to keep a cold heart.
190
00:18:12,691 --> 00:18:17,401
Your job is to heal Asaemon
so that he can fight ltto.
191
00:18:18,964 --> 00:18:20,136
Are we clear?
192
00:18:20,232 --> 00:18:21,302
Yes.
193
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:25,012
�To Ogami and Asaemon Yamada.
194
00:18:26,071 --> 00:18:29,518
We'll have to deal with them
at one point or another.
195
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:33,845
We could pick them off one by one,
but that wouldn't be fun.
196
00:18:35,814 --> 00:18:39,921
With this plan, we can have those
messengers from hell fight each other.
197
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:43,466
We'll just hold off and
see what they do.
198
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:45,033
I think it's quite poetic.
199
00:18:45,090 --> 00:18:48,162
Lone Wolf and Cub
200
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:14,522
Who's there?
201
00:19:17,356 --> 00:19:20,803
A woman who makes her
living by collecting herbs.
202
00:19:21,193 --> 00:19:22,433
Did you say herbs?
203
00:19:22,628 --> 00:19:23,538
Yes.
204
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:26,673
Then you must be
skilled in healing wounds.
205
00:19:26,865 --> 00:19:28,071
I have done some...
206
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:29,271
That's good.
207
00:19:30,102 --> 00:19:32,742
Do you think you
can treat this wound?
208
00:19:33,539 --> 00:19:36,713
Oh my! That's a terrible sword wound.
209
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:38,818
I feel a sharp, stinging pain.
210
00:19:39,044 --> 00:19:42,389
Luckily, I have some
antidotes and styptics.
211
00:20:11,076 --> 00:20:11,986
Thank you.
212
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:13,549
Don't mention it.
213
00:20:13,612 --> 00:20:16,456
Why are you so nice to me?
214
00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:20,162
You see, I lost my husband.
215
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,355
What?
216
00:20:22,854 --> 00:20:24,925
He died of a sword wound.
217
00:20:25,991 --> 00:20:27,766
Can you tell me more?
218
00:20:28,327 --> 00:20:30,307
You're not in a healthy state right now.
219
00:20:30,362 --> 00:20:34,208
You need to rest in order to heal.
220
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:36,745
What's that?
221
00:20:37,769 --> 00:20:41,148
I even carry this around when
I'm walking through the mountains.
222
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,685
I'll fix you some rice porridge.
223
00:20:49,948 --> 00:20:50,949
Who's out there?
224
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,464
Mister!
225
00:20:59,191 --> 00:21:00,465
It's you...
226
00:21:03,829 --> 00:21:06,742
I wanted to thank you for
saving my son Daigoro.
227
00:21:12,904 --> 00:21:14,042
Lord Ogami!
228
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:18,016
Lord Asaemon Yamada.
229
00:21:20,312 --> 00:21:22,314
Then you're his father?
230
00:21:23,482 --> 00:21:26,759
I came by to thank the
man who saved my son
231
00:21:27,586 --> 00:21:29,691
but I never expected it to be you.
232
00:21:51,276 --> 00:21:54,655
I took the Nakasendo road
down to this place.
233
00:21:56,048 --> 00:21:58,551
Don't you want to
know the reason why?
234
00:21:59,184 --> 00:22:02,563
I am no longer a man wearing the robe
with the emblem of the Shogunate.
235
00:22:02,688 --> 00:22:08,036
Therefore, it is not necessary for me
to know what the government is up to.
236
00:22:10,696 --> 00:22:11,766
Who might you be?
237
00:22:12,964 --> 00:22:14,910
I'm just a passerby.
238
00:22:27,979 --> 00:22:29,424
What are you doing!
239
00:22:35,687 --> 00:22:37,530
I'm sure you heard the rumors.
240
00:22:39,224 --> 00:22:41,465
That was the "Lone Wolf and Cub."
241
00:22:42,594 --> 00:22:46,064
I'm Asaemon Yamada,
a sword tester for the government.
242
00:22:47,099 --> 00:22:49,739
My job is to kill ltto Ogami.
243
00:22:53,972 --> 00:22:55,849
But with this injury...
244
00:22:57,609 --> 00:22:59,611
You must be patient.
245
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,324
He must've figured out why I'm here.
246
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:06,787
If so...
247
00:23:08,353 --> 00:23:10,560
Is he going to disappear?
248
00:23:13,024 --> 00:23:15,026
Or is he going to come and kill me?
249
00:23:16,628 --> 00:23:18,505
I'll see what he's up to.
250
00:23:58,270 --> 00:24:00,546
Why did you leave his sight?
251
00:24:01,139 --> 00:24:01,439
L...
252
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,579
I...
Go back and take care of him.
253
00:24:04,509 --> 00:24:05,419
Yes.
254
00:24:17,656 --> 00:24:19,067
What are you doing!
255
00:24:19,491 --> 00:24:20,367
Let go of me.
256
00:24:21,426 --> 00:24:21,992
Don't do this!
257
00:24:21,993 --> 00:24:23,097
Don't do this!
I said let go!
258
00:24:23,161 --> 00:24:24,071
No!
259
00:24:26,097 --> 00:24:29,704
If you do anything rash,
my efforts will be wasted.
260
00:24:31,336 --> 00:24:33,816
I feel ashamed because
I can't accomplish my task.
261
00:24:34,406 --> 00:24:35,578
I'm begging You-
262
00:24:35,941 --> 00:24:37,011
Let me die!
263
00:24:42,914 --> 00:24:44,655
I have a favor to ask of you.
264
00:24:46,117 --> 00:24:50,361
Itto Ogami killed my
husband, Kikuma Toyama.
265
00:24:51,890 --> 00:24:55,463
A woman like me will not
stand a chance against him.
266
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:59,231
Please kill ltto Ogami for me!
267
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:02,144
Please...
268
00:25:04,069 --> 00:25:05,480
I see.
269
00:25:06,104 --> 00:25:07,742
I'm begging You-
270
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:12,989
This unexpected meeting
under tragic circumstances...
271
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:16,759
I must do something
about this matter.
272
00:25:19,818 --> 00:25:23,095
I thought you were just a
young, inexperienced widow
273
00:25:23,555 --> 00:25:28,470
but you're pretty good
at controlling a man.
274
00:25:28,627 --> 00:25:33,098
Seems like the Headhunter Asaemon
is like a child under Lady Mayumi.
275
00:25:34,432 --> 00:25:38,744
Itto Ogami is indeed responsible
for your husband's death.
276
00:25:38,937 --> 00:25:42,942
It must be satisfying to use a pawn
in order to get your revenge.
277
00:25:44,543 --> 00:25:45,544
Well?
278
00:25:45,944 --> 00:25:47,821
How is the injured man?
279
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:51,858
Yes, he's getting better each day.
280
00:25:52,284 --> 00:25:53,228
Good.
281
00:25:54,286 --> 00:25:57,233
The injured hawk will
be ready to fly soon.
282
00:25:58,823 --> 00:26:02,202
Now, about the wolf he's facing...
283
00:26:06,665 --> 00:26:12,547
I'm sorry to ask you this, but could you
let me stay here for a little longer?
284
00:26:12,604 --> 00:26:13,810
Sure.
285
00:26:14,472 --> 00:26:17,885
You'll be of great service
to Buddha himself.
286
00:26:18,443 --> 00:26:19,547
But tell me.
287
00:26:20,512 --> 00:26:24,392
Why do I sense a killing
instinct in those eyes?
288
00:26:27,819 --> 00:26:30,026
You're going to have a duel?
289
00:26:31,623 --> 00:26:34,536
You're just waiting for
that day to come, right?
290
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,802
Come on, cheer up.
291
00:26:45,070 --> 00:26:46,447
Isn't this enough?
292
00:26:46,504 --> 00:26:50,145
No. I won't give you any
dinner until you reach the top.
293
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:52,880
You're very strict.
294
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:56,920
Sorry about that.
295
00:26:59,217 --> 00:27:01,197
This arm was able to support you.
296
00:27:02,554 --> 00:27:03,726
It was this arm!
297
00:27:04,189 --> 00:27:06,226
You mean the one you injured?
298
00:27:10,528 --> 00:27:11,472
That's right.
299
00:27:25,944 --> 00:27:26,888
Lady Mayumi.
300
00:27:26,945 --> 00:27:27,855
Yes?
301
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:30,787
You have treated my wound
with great care up until now.
302
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:32,860
I thank you again.
303
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:34,123
It was nothing.
304
00:27:35,186 --> 00:27:37,393
Because of you,
I was able to fully recover.
305
00:27:40,058 --> 00:27:42,095
I'll never forget what
you have done for me.
306
00:27:50,702 --> 00:27:53,205
I have to go make some dinner.
307
00:28:13,425 --> 00:28:15,268
He has fully recovered?
308
00:28:15,894 --> 00:28:17,703
I'm glad to hear that.
309
00:28:19,831 --> 00:28:24,576
I'm the wife of Kikuma Toyama,
the man you killed.
310
00:28:25,503 --> 00:28:27,312
My husband was born
into the Yagyu clan
311
00:28:27,372 --> 00:28:31,343
and he had no choice
but to go after your life.
312
00:28:32,644 --> 00:28:36,251
I had no choice but to
kill Lord Kikuma as well.
313
00:28:36,781 --> 00:28:39,421
But I must avenge his death.
314
00:28:39,484 --> 00:28:40,588
Die!
315
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,903
Yagyu was after your life.
316
00:28:58,503 --> 00:29:00,949
They didn't try to kill me.
317
00:29:01,473 --> 00:29:03,544
Is this part of their scheme?
318
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:10,153
You know this person?
319
00:29:10,882 --> 00:29:11,860
Yes.
320
00:29:13,284 --> 00:29:17,027
The reason why I treated your wound
321
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:19,966
is because Lord Retsudo Yagyu
asked me to do so.
322
00:29:21,159 --> 00:29:23,264
He wanted to pit you
against ltto Ogami
323
00:29:23,328 --> 00:29:27,401
and then take care of the one
who was left standing in the end.
324
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:28,808
It was a dirty trap.
325
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:32,747
I was just a puppet under Retsudo.
326
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:42,156
I tried to take advantage
327
00:29:42,213 --> 00:29:44,921
of Lord Yamada's sword skills
so that I could get revenge.
328
00:29:45,083 --> 00:29:48,223
I deeply regret doing
such a foolish thing.
329
00:29:48,286 --> 00:29:50,232
Then I came here to kill you.
330
00:29:50,822 --> 00:29:53,098
But you ended up
saving my life instead.
331
00:29:54,058 --> 00:29:56,868
Please go ahead and kill me.
332
00:29:57,529 --> 00:30:02,205
You want me to kill you
in place of the Yagyu?
333
00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:14,152
If you give that much
water every morning
334
00:30:14,212 --> 00:30:16,624
those morning glories
are going to drown.
335
00:30:17,916 --> 00:30:19,122
Heading out?
336
00:30:19,184 --> 00:30:20,993
I have to see someone off.
337
00:30:23,221 --> 00:30:24,199
Daddy!
338
00:30:24,255 --> 00:30:25,529
Mommy!
339
00:30:25,723 --> 00:30:26,963
Me!
340
00:30:27,992 --> 00:30:30,768
He is comparing the morning glories
341
00:30:31,629 --> 00:30:35,736
and anxiously waiting for
them to blossom together.
342
00:30:38,469 --> 00:30:41,643
Father, mother and son.
343
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:45,844
Maybe in his mind,
he wants the three of them
344
00:30:46,744 --> 00:30:50,817
to be living together
under the same roof.
345
00:31:10,969 --> 00:31:13,347
Please go tell Lord Yamada.
346
00:31:13,805 --> 00:31:18,345
I will fight him at this Kuyogahara.
347
00:31:19,077 --> 00:31:20,613
So you're going to fight him?
348
00:31:21,479 --> 00:31:25,621
Then you're just going
to fall into their trap.
349
00:31:26,284 --> 00:31:29,788
I don't care about their trap.
350
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:30,996
What?
351
00:31:31,656 --> 00:31:35,297
I'm sure Lord Yamada feels the same.
352
00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:40,035
What should I do?
353
00:31:41,866 --> 00:31:43,106
However...
354
00:31:44,736 --> 00:31:52,018
Tell him that we will fight after we
both cut three of these stone statues.
355
00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:56,424
Can you really cut these stone statues?
356
00:31:57,482 --> 00:31:59,325
The time of the duel
357
00:31:59,984 --> 00:32:01,964
will be early tomorrow morning.
358
00:32:13,331 --> 00:32:15,174
Cut stone statues with a sword?
359
00:32:15,667 --> 00:32:17,078
It's impossible.
360
00:32:17,568 --> 00:32:19,241
The reason why he's doing this
361
00:32:19,304 --> 00:32:21,716
is because he's concerned
about Lord Yamada.
362
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:23,081
I'm sure of it.
363
00:33:03,681 --> 00:33:05,126
You came back.
364
00:33:10,421 --> 00:33:11,957
So you can cut it...
365
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:13,962
Stone...
366
00:33:16,561 --> 00:33:17,699
Of course they can!
367
00:33:18,763 --> 00:33:24,270
Asaemon's Demon Blade and ltto's
Dotanuki can easily cut a stone statue.
368
00:33:24,535 --> 00:33:27,038
The hawk and wolf.
369
00:33:27,372 --> 00:33:29,113
How will they fight?
370
00:33:29,807 --> 00:33:32,788
They're both great swordsmen.
371
00:33:33,111 --> 00:33:35,284
I'm guessing it will be a draw.
372
00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:39,255
If they end up killing each other,
that would be the greatest thing for us.
373
00:33:39,317 --> 00:33:41,524
No, that would be boring.
374
00:33:42,553 --> 00:33:45,762
We'll let one of them kill the other
and I'll kill whoever remains standing.
375
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:51,768
We have to make sure they
don't end up killing each other.
376
00:33:51,829 --> 00:33:55,072
Lone Wolf and Cub
377
00:34:44,315 --> 00:34:46,556
This is the best steel I have seen.
378
00:34:48,052 --> 00:34:49,053
Well done.
379
00:35:07,171 --> 00:35:10,812
Place a steel hoop around
the neck of this stone statue.
380
00:35:14,011 --> 00:35:17,686
Which will break first,
Dotanuki or the Demon Blade?
381
00:35:18,316 --> 00:35:19,522
Lord Retsudo.
382
00:35:20,084 --> 00:35:23,395
What shall we do with Mayumi
who disobeyed your orders?
383
00:35:29,093 --> 00:35:30,367
Forget about her!
384
00:35:32,196 --> 00:35:35,109
I'm afraid I can't avenge your
husband's loss in your place.
385
00:35:35,166 --> 00:35:38,978
Then you won't be
going to Kuyogahara?
386
00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:41,216
No, I'm going.
387
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:43,149
But you just said...
388
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:45,746
This duel is between
389
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:49,724
Yamada-ryu corpse-slicing technique
and Suio-ryu horse-slicing technique.
390
00:35:49,847 --> 00:35:52,691
I can't be swayed by
your personal feelings.
391
00:35:54,352 --> 00:35:58,027
Why do you want to kill
Lord Ogami that much?
392
00:35:58,623 --> 00:36:00,864
I have been serving the
government my entire life.
393
00:36:01,325 --> 00:36:03,999
They have given me
so much in return.
394
00:36:04,529 --> 00:36:06,907
Orders from the
government are a must.
395
00:36:07,365 --> 00:36:10,039
Is that going to lead
to a great promotion?
396
00:36:12,170 --> 00:36:14,343
You had a narrow escape from death.
397
00:36:14,605 --> 00:36:16,585
Please try to value your life.
398
00:36:16,641 --> 00:36:17,949
I will win.
399
00:36:19,277 --> 00:36:21,757
I promise you that I will kill ltto Ogami.
400
00:36:23,281 --> 00:36:24,783
But to see a man
401
00:36:24,849 --> 00:36:28,023
anxious to use his blood-stained
sword for the sake of promotion
402
00:36:28,152 --> 00:36:32,157
is even worse than a corpse
that is exposed on Kuyogahara.
403
00:36:33,691 --> 00:36:34,897
What did you say?
404
00:36:39,096 --> 00:36:41,576
You can't stop me from doing this.
405
00:36:44,769 --> 00:36:49,047
Why did I take the
time to heal you then?
406
00:36:52,677 --> 00:36:53,678
Lady Mayumi.
407
00:36:55,479 --> 00:36:57,390
Before I left Edo
408
00:36:58,149 --> 00:37:00,129
I separated from my wife.
409
00:37:01,152 --> 00:37:01,994
What?
410
00:37:02,420 --> 00:37:06,300
I was greatly angered by my
ecstatic wife, who kept saying
411
00:37:06,357 --> 00:37:08,667
that this job is for
the honor of the clan
412
00:37:08,726 --> 00:37:12,139
and a great chance for
me to get a promotion.
413
00:37:12,563 --> 00:37:15,567
Then, what are your real intentions?
414
00:37:17,401 --> 00:37:18,846
Forget about the promotion
415
00:37:20,805 --> 00:37:23,684
and live like a
human being like you said.
416
00:37:24,609 --> 00:37:28,489
I'm very happy for your words.
417
00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:32,350
But...
418
00:37:33,050 --> 00:37:35,326
This duel between Lord Ogami and I
419
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:39,031
is a part of fate which I cannot avoid.
420
00:37:42,393 --> 00:37:43,895
Please understand.
421
00:38:36,213 --> 00:38:37,556
Lord Ogami.
422
00:38:39,884 --> 00:38:45,129
Your son was anxiously waiting for
all three morning glories to blossom.
423
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:47,969
Why did you pick one off?
424
00:38:48,993 --> 00:38:51,098
Asaemon Yoshitsugu Yamada.
425
00:38:51,762 --> 00:38:56,472
He is the only expert
swordsman that I fear.
426
00:38:57,368 --> 00:39:00,281
This missing bud will
be a sign for my son
427
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:03,948
that I may never see him again.
428
00:39:30,835 --> 00:39:31,575
Lady Mayumi!
429
00:39:36,407 --> 00:39:37,442
Lady Mayumi!
430
00:39:44,982 --> 00:39:47,155
I guess she gave up on me.
431
00:40:05,736 --> 00:40:08,444
The reason why you
left only one flower bud
432
00:40:09,140 --> 00:40:13,213
is to show that you can live
out in the world on your own?
433
00:40:15,012 --> 00:40:17,583
Lord Ouminokami Kanou
434
00:40:17,915 --> 00:40:20,862
and Lord Bungonokami Mizuno have
given me a secret order to kill you
435
00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:24,398
and I'm here to accomplish
that as a government official.
436
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:27,535
You used to be an official
executioner for the Shogunate.
437
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:31,596
But you decided to become an
assassin and have taken many lives.
438
00:40:32,096 --> 00:40:35,202
Your actions have brought
disgrace to the government.
439
00:40:36,133 --> 00:40:38,670
Therefore, we need to
get rid of you discreetly.
440
00:40:39,770 --> 00:40:41,272
I must take your life.
441
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,547
I see.
442
00:40:44,742 --> 00:40:47,222
But that's nothing but an excuse.
443
00:40:48,479 --> 00:40:50,823
One time, you told me that
444
00:40:51,482 --> 00:40:55,487
in order to become a great swordsman,
I must attain the state of nothingness.
445
00:40:55,953 --> 00:41:00,368
I was expecting that one day
I would have to fight you face to face.
446
00:41:02,860 --> 00:41:04,567
You are aware, right?
447
00:41:05,029 --> 00:41:09,034
We will fight after each of us
cuts three of the stone statues.
448
00:41:11,702 --> 00:41:13,511
As you wish.
449
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:17,584
Suio-ryu, Dotanuki.
450
00:41:22,346 --> 00:41:25,122
Yamada-ryu, Demon Blade.
451
00:41:42,766 --> 00:41:43,608
N 0W!
452
00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:08,397
Lady Mayumi.
453
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:13,509
She was desperately
trying to stop this duel.
454
00:42:14,465 --> 00:42:17,275
She gave her own life
in order to do so.
455
00:42:18,869 --> 00:42:21,850
The reason why I'm still alive now
is all because of Lady Mayumi.
456
00:42:23,841 --> 00:42:26,412
I can't believe I killed her
with my own hands.
457
00:42:26,477 --> 00:42:29,458
You killed her by accident.
458
00:42:29,947 --> 00:42:33,520
Or maybe I killed her myself.
459
00:42:36,754 --> 00:42:38,597
There's no need for sympathies.
460
00:42:43,961 --> 00:42:46,635
What is the state of nothingness?
461
00:42:57,741 --> 00:42:58,651
N 0W!
462
00:43:45,723 --> 00:43:46,793
I don't understand.
463
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:50,169
Why did my Demon Blade break?
464
00:44:18,188 --> 00:44:19,963
Yagyu shadow clan...
465
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,435
Using a steel hoop like this...
466
00:44:32,536 --> 00:44:33,981
�to Ogami.
467
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,810
You have the devil's own luck.
468
00:44:38,275 --> 00:44:40,585
You may have escaped
our trap this time
469
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:43,181
but your fate has
already been decided.
470
00:44:45,015 --> 00:44:47,291
Prepare yourself!
471
00:44:55,826 --> 00:44:56,861
Daddy!
472
00:45:17,715 --> 00:45:22,289
Itto Ogami laments over the
unfortunate death of Asaemon
473
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,889
and his burning rage is targeted
at the Yagyu shadow clan.
474
00:45:25,089 --> 00:45:29,060
Was it divine protection that allowed
ltto Ogami to escape their trap?
475
00:45:29,126 --> 00:45:32,664
Either way, he is just within reach
of having his wish come true.
476
00:45:33,330 --> 00:45:36,675
According to the official records,
Asaemon Yoshitsugu Yamada
477
00:45:36,734 --> 00:45:38,475
died in the seventh year of Meiwa.
478
00:45:38,535 --> 00:45:41,744
It is said that he died
suddenly from an illness.
479
00:45:54,718 --> 00:45:57,130
Next Episode

Father and son both decided to walk
the path of bloodshed for revenge.
481
00:46:01,492 --> 00:46:05,497
But Daigoro felt a mother's love
from a woman he met.
482
00:46:05,863 --> 00:46:08,844
Will he continue to travel with his
father, or will he turn to the woman?
483
00:46:09,066 --> 00:46:10,943
Life is short for many.
484
00:46:11,268 --> 00:46:14,147
Headseller Sakon tells Itto to
give up the life of an assassin.
485
00:46:14,571 --> 00:46:18,678
One risks her life to hire his service.
Mo's war cry for his son Daigoro.
