The boat is leaving!

Hey, come on.

No, ronin, we can't carry
a funny cart like that.

You won't be carrying it.

Now I get it.

Enough weeping.

You'll be pampered,

eat delicious food
and wear silk from top to bottom.

Didn't I tell you
you'd have an easy life. Didn't I?

Watch it! You've got nothing valuable
in it. Let it go.

O-Matsu!

Thank you.

HAKONE SHRINE PILGRIMAGE

Damn it.

Why doesn't
a ripe peach of a girl walk by?

Don't be so impatient. We're in no hurry.

Let's take our time,
look for girls along the way.

So true.

We can enjoy ourselves on the way
until we get hired.

Once we get there, we can't do anything.

At any rate, why is it so hot?

Care for a drink, Master Kanbei?

No.

Don't say that.

Why don't you keep company with us
and have a cup?

Drink it.

You're really peculiar.

You don't drink. You don't touch women.

What fun do you get being a watari-kachi?

We the watari-kachi are mercenaries,

working for this daimyo lord today,
that daimyo lord tomorrow,

hired for show when someone needs
more men in their procession.

We're just drifters
in the business of peddling ourselves.

We might want to settle down somewhere,

but the poorer lords can't hire us
for permanent positions.

They only need us when they want
to show off a long procession.

You can be impressive with two swords,

but there's really nothing inside.

Maybe you used to be a fine samurai,

but now you're a watari-kachi mercenary.

Why don't you relax and enjoy yourself?

You're so stiff and grave.
You're smothering us.

The only fun we ever get
is a good piece of ass.

If we can't have fun,

we'd have quit watari-kachi
a long time ago.

There's only one advantage
to being a mercenary.

Any girls on the highway
are yours for the taking,

and then you can dump them.

Just run like your ass is on fire
and seek shelter with your employer.

Nobody can catch us.

Master Kanbei, come join us.

Look. They say,
“Wait and a good day will come.”

Oh.

What the -

We're watari-kachi.

Mercenaries?

Yes, mercenaries.

You can have money.

We don't want money. We're not robbers.

We won't take anything.
We'll just use them.

No, stop!

You won't lose them if we use them.

The more they get used,
the better they get.

We're performing an act of charity.

- Somebody!
-Someone help me!

Stop there! Got you!

No!

Help! Mother!

We'll report you to the deputy.

You can report us,
but it won't do any good.

We'll soon go into hiding
where no one can find us.

The deputy is nothing.

Come here.

Somebody! No!

Give up, lie back and enjoy it.

Keep your eyes closed,
and it'll be over in an hour.

Let us go.

Somebody!

No, no!

Please, not my daughter!

No!

No!

Let me go.

Let me go.

Let us go. Somebody.

Here we go.

Bastards!

What the hell!

Bastards! My lady and my young miss!

How dare you, kid!

I'll slice you.

I'll kill you.

Wait, hold on.

You'll be in big trouble
if anything happens to us.

Damn right. We're employed
by Lord Mizuno of Kariya Domain.

You'll pay for this
even if you're Lord Mizuno's men.

Stop it! Don't!

Master Kanbei, help us.

Damn!

Don't look.

Master Kanbei.

Why kill them?

This is horrible.

Take one each.

Or I'll kill you all.

You have to die, Jikkan.

Why only me?

You drew the lot.

You'll be the robber who attacked
the mother, the girl and their servant.

You killed the three of them.

The three of us happened upon you.
We fought and you were killed.

This story will convince
the way station officials.

Case closed.

Help!

I exposed you to an unsightly spectacle.
Please forgive me.

Your behavior befits a samurai,
not a mercenary.

“Befits a samurai”?

I used to serve as a palanquin guard
at Maruoka Domain in Echizen.

Kanbei Magomura is my name.

May I ask your name?

My name is Itto Ogami.

I knew it.

Then you used to be
the Shogunate Executioner.

I have seen you

while leading my lord's horse
in Edo Castle in years past.

I've heard of your name as well.

They say you are a peerless
Kage-ryu swordsman.

You flatter me.

Why has a man of your stature
become a mercenary?

Let's not go into details.

I ask you to a duel.

For what reason?

I must insist.
You've witnessed what has transpired here.

I may be only a mercenary,

but once my employer's name is mentioned,
it is the same as if I am his vassal.

I must stake my life

so as not to bring disaster to his clan
and disgrace his domain.

Put that way, I can say
I'm acting within the samurai code.

I humbly ask you to a duel.

If I let you go now,

for the rest of my life,

I can't live...

No.

My honor as a samurai won't pardon me

for having killed innocent people,
even if to protect my lord's name.

Again, I ask you to a duel.

Listen, you.

Master Kanbei's asking you.

Why don't you fight?

Can't you even answer?

Stop it. You're no match for him.

If victory favors me,

I will protect your child with my life.

I ask you not to worry
about that possibility.

Because my son and I live
on the Demon Way in Hell,

we're prepared to descend into Hell
through the Six Realms and Four Lives.

“Live on the Demon Way in Hell”?

Such good words to hear.

Even if fortune turns against me,
I will have no regrets.

So then.

Here I come.

This duel...

I call it a draw.

Why?

I want you to live on as a true samurai.

“A true samurai”?

I've failed to die again.

Does it taste good?

Never had rice before, have you?

Women are like flowers.
They need to blossom.

Don't spend your life as a poor farmer.
Be a flower.

Be spoiled by men.
That's true happiness for a woman.

Your feet hurt from the long trip?

Okay. Wait.

When your feet are tired,

rub in salt and warm them over the fire.

Or you can rub this in. Ready?

Give me your feet.

Just give me your feet.

If you get too tired to walk,
I'll be in trouble.

Be still and they'll get better soon.

What's with you?

Don't!

- Don't fight.
-No!

You're mine
until I sell you to the whorehouse.

I can do whatever I want.

- Somebody!
-Help!

What's going on?

Get the clerk.

There's blood here.

We're searching the inn.

Excuse me for intruding.

There was a murder.

We're looking for a female suspect.

We'll search your room.

Wait.

What will you do
if the suspect is not here?

I told you we're searching
as part of an official investigation.

Are you complaining?

I'm not complaining.

This may be an inn,
but I paid for the room

which makes it my castle and my estate.

For a petty official to enter,
he should be prepared.

That's what I'm asking.

Don't be smart with me,
you penniless ronin!

What if the suspect is in this room?

To harbor a murderer
is to commit the same crime.

Exactly.

Let's have a look.

If she isn't here, you can have my head.

No complaints!

What's this?

I put him in there to discipline him.

Now I shall have your head.

Out of my way!

You should go.

Thank you very much.

We all walk different paths.

My son has his own path.

You must make your own path.

Go on now.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

- There she is!
-Get her!

Hold on.

A samurai is staying in this room.
You must not offend him.

Yes, ma'am.

My name is Torizo of the Koshio family.

I'm in charge of every brothel
between this post station and Kariya.

That girl was purchased for us
by our procurer, Matsu the Whiner.

Please, I ask you to hand her over.

DIED JULY 18

I refuse.

Master Samurai,

people call us bo-hachi-mon,
who have forgotten all eight virtues.

You know what that means?

We have no piety, respect, loyalty,
honesty, rectitude, order, modesty.

Or shame. We know no shame.

In other words,

we are yakuza and outsiders
and we have no shame.

Such as we are,
you'll gain nothing by fighting us.

Win or lose,

even if you give up the girl,

Master Samurai,
it's not like you'll lose face.

I ask you to stand aside.

She's also the murderer
who killed Matsu the Whiner.

I told you I refuse.

Because you carry a memorial tablet,
the master samurai took pity on you.

Come here now.

You're testing my patience.

If you insist on refusing,

the master samurai and his son
will have to die for you.

The brothel's code says we mustn't
cause trouble to decent people.

You've been bought with money.
You now belong to a whorehouse.

Come here now.

You still insist you won't give her up?

- Enough!
- Don't you get it?

I've gone to this length to humble myself.

You'd risk your life and your kid's
for a wench?

Why won't you give up?

Her memorial tablet has bound us
on the Demon Way in Hell.

My son and I have lost everything
because of a single memorial tablet.

For this reason, I cannot back down.

Get him!

Wait!

You guys are too dear to me.

I can't let you fight
such a skilled samurai.

Master Samurai,

we the bo-hachi-mon
have to save face ourselves.

We can't just back down.

But then again,

I can't let my precious boys die
over a single wench.

What about this?

One becomes a prostitute
when she takes her first customer.

This is called deflowering,
and we get an exorbitant fee.

We'll have her deflowered
and pay off her debt.

And then we'll set her free.
What would you say?

I refuse.

If you refuse this,
there is only one other way.

We can subject her to our punishment -
water torture and spinning torture -

in lieu of payment.

She might die from this, though.

I'll take her place for the punishment.

But...

I hear that, when a prostitute is ill,

her equal can take her place
for the punishment.

There is no code against a substitute,
is there?

And if...

What if we should bring you near death?

What will you do?

Luck runs its own course.

Fate decides life and death.

Do it.

Next, the spinning torture.

Spin! Spin!

Spin! Spin!

Spin! Spin!

Spin! Spin!

Spin! Spin!

Spin! Spin!

Master Samurai!

How can I...

Papa.

He's not just a great swordsman.
He's got awesome guts.

We were working him over,
but his spirit scared us.

He didn't even let out a moan.

A true samurai is hard to find these days.

Still, there are men like that left.

Yes, ma'am.

You've settled the dispute over whether
the girl is to be a prostitute.

But another matter is not yet settled.
She killed Matsu the Whiner.

What do you want?

If you do me a favor,
I'll hush up everything.

Master Ogami,

while I had you on the spinning torture,

I remembered a rumor.

Ever since the Shogunate Executioner
had a conflict with the Yagyu clan,

he's been wandering
as the assassin Lone Wolf and Cub.

This way.

I present to you Master Itto Ogami.

Help me up.

I am a former Chief Elder
for the Kakegawa Domain,

Tatewaki Miura.

I have been searching for you.

You might remember.

He's missing his left arm
because you cut it off.

Shogunate Executioner, Master Itto Ogami.

My domain lord,
Ujishige Dewa-no-Kami Miyake,

had suddenly become demented.

He killed and hurt numerous vassals

and committed many other outrages.

He was ordered to commit seppuku
by the Shogunate.

No.

I won't!

I won't!

I don't want to die!

My lord, please calm down.

Let me go!

My lord!

Let me go!

It hurts! You're hurting me!

Forgive me.

Please.

Please, I beg you, do it like this.

I don't want to!

And your relationship with Master Miura?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

I am his daughter.

My name is Tori, the younger of twins.

Twins are abhorred.

I was raised by a nanny,
a kin of the Koshio family.

My older sister
was in attendance upon our lord.

When she learned of some secret,

she was violated by Steward Genba Sawatari

and committed suicide and passed away.

And you want me to...

I want you to kill Genba Sawatari,
now the Totomi Province Governor.

I'd like to hear the reasons.

Genba sold out the domain
and had the clan abolished.

If I tell you that Genba Sawatari,
now the Totomi Governor,

used to be the Steward
for our Kakegawa Domain,

I think you get the picture.

Driven by greed for power,

he secretly reported our lord's madness
to the Shogunate Elder Itakura.

He had his own domain abolished,
and the Shogunate took over the land.

And then he became
the governor of the land.

He's lower than a dog.

When I think about the 400 vassals
who lost their positions...

I was their Chief Elder.

I can't die even if I wanted to.

Please agree to do this.

500 ryo for an assassination.

TWO MILES TO TOTOMI NAKAIZUMI

We put up these Demon Way talismans.

When Itto Ogami sees them,

he'll build cairns to lead us
to a meeting place.

Our responsibility is grave.

Yes, sir.

I'm Junai Asada
from the Totomi Governor's office.

I'm Itto Ogami.

Governor Genba Sawatari says

he has something he wants to ask you

and wants us to escort you
to the governor's mansion.

We're here to take you.

Will the governor meet me in person?

Yes.

Please oblige us and come with us.

Is he coming?

If he doesn't, it's a problem.

If he doesn't, we'll do it ourselves.

May I speak, Elder Itakura?

Say a domain lord has no ability
to govern his people.

He has no heir.

And he has killed many vassals
for no reason.

If there was such an insane domain lord,

how would you and other Shogunate leaders
deal with him?

Let's say,

since you are on duty this month,
Elder Naizen-no-Sho Itakura,

you could abolish such a domain.

What would you do?

Which domain?

I can't mention that.

Where do you think you are?

If what you're saying isn't true...

I consider my life expendable.

What is it that you want?

A Shogunate land governorship.

And a letter of promise
in your own handwriting.

You want a promise without any proof?

I'll send you evidence in writing
at a later date.

Very well.

I'll get to the point.

I want you to kill the Shogunate Elder
Naizen-no-Sho Itakura.

He's set to visit this land soon.

Actually, as the new governor,
I'll be inviting him for a visit.

500 ryo in advance.

Another 500 ryo when you succeed.

Naizen-no-Sho Itakura conspired with Yagyu
to chase you out.

You must have a grudge.

You couldn't ask for a better opportunity.

What say you?

I decline.

Wait.

Now that you know my intention,
I can't let you leave alive.

I'll come see you again.

Why didn't you kill him?

With the two of you here,
why couldn't he be killed?

If I had attacked him,

his Dotanuki sword would've
pierced through your chest.

The same if Master Kuchiki had fired.

Ogami is a terrifying swordsman.

Anyway, why did he refuse?

Why didn't he refuse
when you summoned him?

Why only after he'd seen me?

Did the name of Elder Itakura scare him?

Naizen-no-Sho Itakura...

What if he was after me?

What if he was here as an assassin?

TOTOMI GOVERNORS OFFICE

He was never without his rider's handguns.

He even left me with a handgun
for protection.

It is very likely Itto Ogami's handiwork.

Suio-ryu Horse-Slayer.

It must be Naizen-no-Sho Itakura

who sent him after my life.

Samon, can you kill him?

I'm a master of Ichiden-ryu
Sword Drawing.

I'll stake my life.

Close all roads. Comb through weeds
to the roots to find Itto.

Don't let him take a step
outside this territory.

Yes, sir!

Junai.

Hurry and send a messenger
to Lord Retsudo of Ura-Yagyu.

Yes, sir.

Yagyu will pay a high price
for Itto Ogami's head.

It will be my gift to him.

I'll curry favor with Yagyu,
who secretly rules the nation.

It'll open the way for me

not only as a governor or magistrate
of larger territories,

but eventually to join
the Shogunate leadership.

We shall avenge Master Ozunu,
the head ninja of the Kurokuwa clan.

Itto Ogami.

Do it!

Itto Ogami did this.

Go!

Samon Ikiji, Tamiya-Ichiden-ryu.

Itto Ogami, Suio-ryu.

- Junai.
- Yes!

Ask Kariya Domain for reinforcement.

Tell them we only want strong ones.

Yes, sir.

One more thing. Post notices
in various areas in the territory.

Yes?

We'll lure Itto Ogami
to Jizo-ga-Hara field.

Listen, anyone here confident
in his swordsmanship?

Well?

No one?

What's going on, sir?

An assassin is after the governor's life
in our neighboring Shogunate territory.

Our domain is to assist the governor.

We'll pay extra.

I'm not hearing answers.

What's the assassin's name?

I don't know that much.

Going or not?

Fine. I'm going.

It's hopeless. He's got no chance.

But why does he go on?

Not running, not hiding.
Straight into all those arrows and guns.

Daigoro,

we're on Demon Way to Hell.

Archers.

Daigoro.

Gunners.

Fire.

Follow me!

- Go!
- Let's go!

Let's go!

Impressive how you fought your way out.

Impressive how you have survived.

However,

there's no tomorrow for you and your son.

You can't escape from the clutches
of our Yagyu clan.

- Let's go!
- Go!

Go!

Master Ogami.

You're an assassin who kills for money.

I'm a mercenary
who joins any lord for money.

What is a “true samurai”?

Does such a thing really exist?

I'll stake my life to find out.

I ask again for a duel.

I accept.

Here I come.

Just a moment.

I have a question I'd like to ask.

Ask.

Several years ago,

my master, Lord Munetada,
was appointed a Shogunate Elder.

We were on our way to Edo.

A band of lawless ronin attacked us.

The ambush was a conspiracy

to prevent Lord Munetada from assuming
the post of Shogunate Elder.

Against an enemy that outnumbered us,
to blunt their momentum,

I believed that offense
was the only defense.

I charged into their midst.

I risked my life and defeated them.

But I was also a palanquin guard
who had left the palanquin.

My action was denounced
as neglecting a samurai 's duty.

I was chased out of the domain.

What I believed in

and what I risked my life to protect

had me chased away.

Had I accepted our disadvantage,

had I stayed by the palanquin

and died in the fight
to protect my master,

would I have been a “true samurai”?

In the way of the warrior,
isn't what matters not how you live

but how you die?

Master Ogami, tell me.

What is a “true samurai”?

Master Ogami.

A “true”...

The true way of the warrior

means to live by death.

“Live by death”?

Had I been in your place,

I, too, would have attacked.

Your words have eased my mind.

Master Ogami,

you used to be the Shogunate Executioner.

I am a lowly man,

but can I ask for your service?

There is no difference
between true samurai.

Let me be of service to you.

Now I can die.

I have no regrets as a samurai.

Here we go.

Don't go, boss.

Please don't.

He's not a man. He's a monster.

Boss.

Crows caw at night

Someone is going to die

Grim reapers for shallow graves

Wolves, both a father and a son

The wolves are coming

Their footsteps are approaching

Lone Wolf and Cub are coming

They're coming

Coming...

THE END
