[Laughter]

[Applause]

preaching sir come in

look up

i've invited you all here to discuss

things they laid the question

of china amongst others

what i need is your views

on the future

the great emperor wants our advice

now

for many years china has been shut off

born contact has been discouraged by the

government

so what is needed is

well go on then first of all we make

some friends

logical choice is with their military

officers

my lord you once yourself mention the

general toe there

he seems influential what's more

he's the most senior of all the chinese

generals there

and he could be a good starting point

for he's right

general toe could be a very good initial

contact

and you could make our tasks there a

great deal easier

you're quite right i do agree

i know general toe collects swords

we shall prepare a nice gift for him

a pair of swords once he

accepts those we'll have established

a first toehold but this

mission will be a very hazardous one

it's a long journey to reach china

so then who's the best man for this

mission

i know one

he's one of the remaining of the itsu

clan

and he's one of japan's finest fighters

he'd be just the man for this sir and

he's one of your lordship's most loyal

followers sir his name is

kitsu good

then you arrange to bring him here right

away

you're here

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

thanks to the emperor we beat the enemy

[Music]

thanks to the improv

[Music]

so

[Music]

the guys bye

oh

my lordship

i am kitsu we both beat

you sir you are very welcome

you must be very tired now

so then please sit down

please begin

[Music]

i'm finished the chaps had their best

man

a plan to prevent them from coming

to see general toe has completely failed

i'm so sorry

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

very good you may leave

now let's drink right good help

my lord i'll drink to you

that's good that's good

they say your chief is very able

so then i'm very honored

you're here please tell him

i'm most grateful i hope that in the

future

we can be friends

your lordship that's why i was sent here

to make friendship for our countries

china

and my country are of one family

and if we cooperate we'll both benefit

and so i hope past from today

that we can both work together both

countries

amble prosper

so do i so do i greater prosperity

that's what we want for the both of us

[Music]

i'm sorry we've failed you

get up

the jabs have very modern weapon

this contact with general toe

could be very harmful to our country's

best interests and the long run

i wish we could have stopped it

a great pity

what now sir there's only general

shanghai who still has a strong and

loyal force of troops

only he could withstand general toes

strength

and of all the generals he's the most

upright

and the most loyal sir

with general chang tower on our side

well then

we'd have very little to fear from the

japanese

and the general loves beauty

that's good for i have a pretty niece

here

now come in my dear

[Music]

how can i help you well i want you to go

and visit general shanghai

quite soon and to take with you a letter

from me

chantar is a loyal general right now

we need his help

but the journey could be tough

are you willing to meet the loyal

general

would be my honor and as this is a

matter of state

how could i refuse it as a loyalist

you're a clever young girl as well as

pretty

but this journey won't be easy

you'll need much strength

so i've asked colonel way here to go

with you as well

and anything you need all you have to do

is

tell me uncle you just worry about the

country

let me worry about the journey

now whenever you say i'm ready to start

straight away

hmm good that's what i wanted to hear

you'll be taking along a pair of swords

and two pearls

present from me

colleague colonel wu they're both much

traveled men

knife seller

[Applause]

[Music]

i always thought just one man could ever

beat me

now it seems there's two

[Music]

who is the other well it's much better

you never know the other man

and that you never meet him because

the day that you do will be the day that

you die

sao paulo that's rapidly kind of

right better known as rabbit fish sao

paulo

you really know someone who could beat

him yes

there's only one man

recently there's been a lot of good

fighters there

in one of the finals there's one man who

beat

13 fighters monkey and then

beat him

black crane he's a japanese oh

that was the true part yes

i said to sao paulo i could fetch black

crane here

customs i observe them

well i'm pleased to hear that that's

good i want you to fight a man

if my clan chieftain ordered me to

then i'd do it for you

not a chance but that's against the clan

rules

ah

um

holy

listen and listen well

i'm no great fighter looking for a

reputation

i'm a simple killer

i fight to kill and only that

right you're quite right fight to kill

that's the only way

[Music]

[Applause]

huh but old izu clan would never use a

gun

that's why the clans died out nearly all

vanished

i always say that victory

over an enemy means he's dead

and victory justifies whatever weapons

used

[Music]

we both belong to the same clan

same background

and as for the gun a good weapon

and i'll use it whenever i need it

thank you it's a nice present

[Music]

with a gun like that one can save a lot

of energy

at the right time it will be extremely

useful

but i do have other weapons though

you see

when i have to i don't need guns

to kill a man don't need any weapon

knife or gun i just use my fist

that's always there you

go now

black cream

it's you again i want you to kill a man

and what are you offering

my body

and do you think that's a good price do
