Original subtitles

It's you again, nagara. Focus!

Damn!

Use your muscle to swing the sword,

give in to its weight

learn from azumi!

The strength comes not from muscle, but from speed!

Where is azumi?

Oh yeah, she's not here

she was here a while ago

yeah, she often disappears

azumi! Azumi!

Azumi!

"Azumi"

I wonder how far this sky goes

it'll be soon...

Any day now, we'll cross that mountain...

And enter the outside world

that's right. We are going to pursue our mission then

that's great

yes, we are always going to stick together

can't wait to leave here and raise hell!

I can't see any stars

of course not. It's daytime

stars only come out at night

then where are they

during the day?

Time to eat!

I'm starving

We're starving!

Master, isn't this a bit overcooked?

Fresh water fish tastes better when it's burnt

- nagara. - Yes, master

why are you soaking wet?

We were training in underwater combat

master, he lost again

he fell into the river

skip your meal today

no food, no mission, you have no chance

- what do you mean, fools? - Hey, stop

let's get him!

Hey, let's eat

- come, hurry up. - Ouch, that hurts

lately I'm beginning to see who's the strongest

nachi and azumi are the top two...

Azumi is fast, and nachi is strong

ukiha and hyuga are an even three;

the rest of us are more or less the same

I'm one of the strongest, don't you all agree?

Is that your only response?

Nachi, that looks cool

good luck charm, is it supposed to work?

Something like this only works for one who believes in it

then it won't work for me

yeah, well, you're a monkey

I don't want to hear that from a frog-face like you

he's a frog, a frog!

- We will leave the mountain. - Leave? This mountain?

You mean it, master?

At last, it is time

for us to carry out our mission

yes

Finally, we can carry out our mission

Is this your son?

Our lord tokugawa won the war, yet all this misery is left behind

it's time we put an end to such wars

we must try everything possible to build a peaceful nation

I doubt very much that the toyotomi allies will...

Retreat now

most likely this conflict and chaos will continue for some time to come

unless we eradicate ambitious warlords

we will never see any peace here

gessai

assassins are the answer

train a group of master assassins,

have them exterminate all warlords who intend to cause conflict

Priest tenkai,

I, gessal, swear on my life to accomplish your wish

Azumi

wake everyone up and bring them to the clearing

I recognized your potential

when you were still very young,

and have trained and brought up all 10 of you

your martial arts skills already far exceed

those of warriors in the outside world

the time has finally come for you to go to the outside world,

unknown to you since you were brought here,

and use your skills to perform your duty

you grew up and trained together,

thus you all know one another truly and have strong bonds

now...

Pair up...

With the one you like best

- With you? - Who else have you got?

Are you done?

Listen to me well

the mission that will be given to you

will be severe and rigorous

an assassin is unable to choose whom to kill

depending on your mission, sometimes you must kill a child,

or a great and respected person

the way of the assassin is to have a mind of steel and to become inhuman;

thus, I give you this final test

slay each other

slay your teammate

kill!

The one who loses this fight has no aptitude

to pursue the mission ahead of us

the weak-minded one who can't kill his friend

cannot pursue his mission

winners, terminate your counterpart

and return to the hut

if you think of escaping,

you know that you cannot survive

begin!

It's master's order

We have no choice

nagara! Come!

I want to pursue my mission

I trust that you do, too

nachi

One of us will be left alive to pursue our mission

nachi

Nachi, don't do it!

Azumi. This is our destiny

get ready

Azumi...

You have become really strong

nachi

Take this...

This is crazy!

Why?

Why?

Why?

I don't know, either

but if we can do something for our dead friends

as long as we can achieve the mission, they will be happy, I think.

Right? Master.

So this is a village

- Master! - Aren't we going to help?

Don't get involved!

Why not? We can easily get rid of them

you have an important mission. Don't get mixed up in this

They will all be massacred

don't draw your sword unless it's your mission to do so

isn't it our mission to slay bad guys?

Master!

Why? Why not? Why, master?

Why couldn't we kill them?

Killing bandits won't change this nation

You guys are as strong as usually

these guys are getting stronger

whats it?

I brought a letter from priest tenkai

Guys, good luck

he's gone...

Who was that?

He is a ninja called nagato

throughout this mission, he will be around,

but always moving along with us

what does it say?

"Warlords nagamasa asano, kiyomasa kato

"and masayuki sanada will not regard the battle

"of sekigahara as the ultimate defeat of the toyotomi

"they want the nation's leadership returned

"these three are dangerous rebels who will harm tokugawa

"they should be eliminated.”

Hey. What are you doing?

Stop right there

it's a young girl on her own

hey...

It's ok

yes, sir

what a pretty girl she is, isn't she?

What are you doing?

Can't you see what I'm doing? I'm fishing

fishing?

Haven't you ever fished?

Oh, I see, you have never gone fishing

fishing is fun

and when I am fishing

I can forget about the terrible things

that go on in this country

moreover, if you catch a big fish like this,

you can boast for the rest of your life

furthermore, a couple of fish from this pond will make you full

so you are hungry, and you want to eat a fish

This is how you catch a fish

What the hell's she doing?

Kill him now!

That's enough. Let's go!

Well, you are very amusing. What is your name?

Azumi

- what's yours? - How dare you talk like that!

It's ok. It's ok.

My name is nagamasa

nagamasa asano is my name

You are the one that wants to start another war

Why?

Such a young girl...

Like you

I feel sorry for you...

Are you sure about that?

Yes, sir. The asano clan is concealing the fact,

but nagamasa was assassinated

all of the guards were killed

how did they do that?

Who are these assassins?

They must be of the leyasu clan

lord...

If I may say so,

we have no proof that they are of the leyasu clan

proof?

Ever since leyasu won the victory

over the ishida forces in sekigahara,

ieyasu acts as if he has the whole nation under his thumb

but the regime belongs to

our prince hideyori toyotomi

nagamasa, masayuki sanada and I

had pressed leyasu to return the regime to prince hideyori

the result is nagamasa's assassination

I am next on the list

I am quite aware of that

please remain cautious, my lord

what?

This talk of proof and caution!

Kanbei, what happened to your warrior's way?

Kanbeui...

It will be too late once my head is cut off

I, kanbei, will not die after you, my lord

I, kiyomasa kato,

am not intimidated by any enemy

Ieyasu is a stupid fool

if all the warlords of the toyotomi side unite against him

he doesn't stand a chance

I am troubled with a temperamental boss

- saru. - Yes, sir

we'll let them kill our lord

Azumi!

A signal! They got kiyomasa!

Ok let's go

They would be happy up in heaven for us

But master, they weren't tough at all

those slowpokes were no match for us

they were tough, but you are too strong

so don't show your strength outside of our mission

that ninja who looked like a monkey, he was funny, wasn't he?

Ninja? Has anyone received any cut from their weapons?

Master, there's no way any ninja can get us

no ninja or anyone can match us. Right?

Be careful, ninjas poison their weapons

poison?

Even just a pinch of poison may kill you

oh, that's scary!

Hey, azumi, are you alright?

What's the matter?

I was wondering if that nagamasa we killed the other day,

and this guy today,

are they truly bad guys?

What are you talking about?

But we don't know a thing about the man we killed

he must have friends like we do

no time for nonsense, azumi

they have to be bad guys,

otherwise why would we have to kill them?

Right, master?

- Master! - No need to ask such a question

- have a mind of steel... - Quiet! Just eat!

Oh, didn't we complete our mission?

I'm going to take a piss

Well done in finding a double who looked like me

Can you kill those assassins next time?

Definitely, my lord

Kanbeui...

It amuses me to see your failure...

But the fun is over now

- Saru... - Yes, sir

we will start the attack this time

It hurts!

A hole, a hole

look...

I made a hole

that's cool!

Big brother, you're very strong

- you're not so bad yourself. - I know

right everyone, right? Hey, old man...

- No one responds... - Big brother...

Should I put a hole in the left? That would look awesome

you idiot! If you keep doing stupid things like that,

mum will get angry

no, I am scared of our mum

- she is scary! - I'm scared of our mum

Careful. It's wet with blood

I brought a client with a job for us

brother, he looks like a monkey

- oh, oh, he got mad. - So, what's the job?

I don't read letters

these are horrible assassins

when you find them, kill them without a word

it reads like that

this is the drawing

sorry, they're a bit slow

this girl is cute

so, one girl...

One old man...

Guys - one, two, three, four...

That's it?

Don't underestimate them. They are tough, very tough

we will kill them all

kill all and get the money!

It's hurt

hurt

really cute...

Wow, it's amazing

look over there

master, can we take a look?

Yes, go have fun

That was great

Yes, thank you, thank you

- hyuga! - My name is hyuga

yae

yae...

- I was better. - No, I was!

Great!

- You guys are better than us. - Please, join our troupe

- you trained since you were little? - Yeah, you can call it training

- hyuga, are you performers? - Performers?

No, but we've been living up in the mountain,

so we are flexible

I see. We've done this since we could remember,

but we're not as good as you

since you could remember?

That's just like us

This is beautiful

- it's from a foreign country. - A foreign country?

Yes, beyond the ocean

hey!

Pack quickly. The sun will go down soon

yes, boss

are you leaving?

Tomorrow at noon

we are traveling performers

if we stay here, we won't have an audience

no, I'll come tomorrow,

and every day after that

thank you. But I have been living like this since I was little

Stay well

I'll see you again somewhere

Come on

hyuga, let's go

where are the three brothers?

They are tracking assassins.

And already their position.

But I don't believe those stupid can face the assassins.

I know

I just send them three to say hello

Saru, go to the prison in nishikawa

you mean to get that guy out?

An eye for an eye. Poison for poison

Amagi, hyuga, time to wake up

get up

Oh no, isleptin

- master, can I go out for a while? - Where to?

I want to see the performers again

oh, that sweet one

I can learn from her movement for my technique

don't fall for a girl in a traveling show

shut up!

Well, master, may I go?

We leave at noon. Be back by then

- I'll go with you, too. - Me, too

amagi, aren't you coming?

They are in a playful mood. Are you sure it's ok, master?

Hey, amagi, wake up! How long do you need to sleep?

I thought we were to meet tomorrow

things don't look good

what?

They killed kiyomasa's double and not kiyomasa himself

the enemy is onto us. They've sent a party of pursuers

Master, what's wrong?

- We've been deceived. - What?

Kiyomasa is still alive. We killed his double

get everyone. We are leaving now

amagi, I told you to get up

Amagi, what's wrong?

Why did you not say?

They've gone already...

What the..

Hyuga hey, stop it.

Stop it quickly.. It's itch...

- You little.. - You guys stop playing

Yae is really cute.

You like yae, right?

Really hope we can have more time to get together.

I thought she has not gone too far.

Let's go, quickly!

Yes! Go find her. You, get up quickly!

Wait! Wait a moment..

Master..i am so cold. Can I still achieve the mission...

Ok, stop talking

it's terrible..

I should act more for our dead friends...

They were a lot of fun

yae, I know who you like

who? Azumi?

- No, I am talking about the guy. - What are you talking about?

You can't hide it. I know these things very well

even if you fall in love, he's a traveler

you won't see him again

after all, we're the rootless performers

Are these them?

The ages are right on the Mark

and there is an old man

one, two, three...

One, two, three, one...

Aren't there too many?

There are more girls, and not enough boys

a rough count will do

by the way, do you see them?

These girls are incredible

no two ways about it, they are the assassins

- they don't look like them. - Near enough

excuse me, sirs

what can we do for you?

Where are you going?

Where are you off to?

You're cute

come, I won't do anything

you really are pretty

what's your name?

Tell me your name

Let me touch you

get this out of the way

Damn, brother

what a waste

nisai, don't you go too far

Don't waste your life

don't come near me

Give it back

You scared me

stay back

they look like the assassins!

That's them, brother

she is cute

are you pursuing us?

Yes. You're getting the idea

They have nothing to do with us!

We kill whoever we like...

Oh, I see

then you have no complaints if you die

you are gorgeous

You fool!

Hyuga'

you are really cute

that hurts!

It's not over, yet!

Now you got me

Saru

I have a job for you

if you accept my offer, then all of your past crimes will be forgotten

If you get me out of here, that means many more people will die

What have you been doing?

You killed someone?

Our swords are only for the mission!

But the performers were attacked instead of us!

They had our drawing

so yae and...

We must leave immediately

kiyomasa is still alive

we killed his double

what did you say?

Amagi, what's wrong?

Ninja's poison got him

amagi

amagi

say it isn't so

let's go. Quick!

Let's go?

Master, what about amagi?

Amagi won't last

master, what are you talking about?

Are you leaving him behind?

We can't do that!

Why do you think we have worked so hard until now?

Damn it, I am totally confused!

Have you forgotten that we live only to carry out our mission?

We killed our dear friends,

and stood by when villagers were killed

killing an enemy we don't hate is one thing,

but not saving innocent people from dying...

What is our mission, then?

And how can we leave amagi here?

Master!

Who are you aiming your sword at?

Withdraw your sword, ukiha!

Your sword can't even kill an insect at this moment

it's like swinging a stick

you are no longer an assassin

Amagi

amagi

sorry

Go...

Please go

don't be silly, amagi

Amagt!

Amagt!

Why did you do that?

I'll walk you...

To the main road

Goodbye

goodbye

Listen, hyuga

why don't you come to tangou?

What?

It's my hometown

we'll have azumi come, too

Tangou?

Sorry, yae. I may not be able to come to tangou

I thought this smell was familiar

I guess my sense of smell is as sharp as a dog's

who are you?

Me? I'm bijjomaru mogami

first three guys, now a newcomer

I hate to break up such a romantic scene,

but I want you to die

she has nothing to do with us. Let her go

sorry, no

being slashed before the girl and exposing your misery

will increase your suffering all the more

what did you say?

Can you imagine being slashed?

Blood comes gushing out. No matter how much you endure,

you know you are going to die

you want to die quickly, but you can't

what will you think then?

One sword is broken

that's no good. Saru, loan him your sword

it's no fun slaying an enemy who is not properly armed

don't worry

we have no business with the girl

I don't want you to blame defeat on fighting with one sword

do you know why this sword has no hand guard?

I never defend

I will immobilize you with one blow

I was also taught to do that

I am thrilled!

You are quite quick

But you failed to notice that you are cut?

Don't come! Run!

Don't move!

Stay and watch

if you run, I will kill you

it hurts, right? Do you want to die quickly?

I won't let you die so easily

Enough of that. The fight is over

monkey-face!

If you spoil my fun, you will die, too

go ahead!

Your bad taste disgusts me

Hyuga...

Hyuga'

Pity to leave her on her own

bijomarul!

What's the point of killing the girl?

What's the point of living, anyway?

Shall we go?

The next one better be stronger!

If not, then I will fight against you!

Got that, monkey-face?

He fought masterfully

We'll wait for nagato here

yes

He said you were sweet

he wanted to stay with you a bit longer

hyuga truly liked you

What will you do now?

Will you seek revenge?

A friend of your enemy will come to kill you

a never-ending story

will you keep killing each other forever?

There are many evil people in the world

someone has to kill them

it doesn't have to be you

someone else can do it

Frighteningly good swordsman...

He's already killed one assassin

but I can hardly like him

in fact, I hate him

don't be so harsh

saru...

I want you to do something

the final showdown will be in gamo

They are dead

that's not true

they will definitely come!

Master gessal,

kiyomasa is heading for gamo

gamo?

It's a ship! He plans to leave gamo by ship

we must get him in gamo, on land

but the enemy is aware of our moves

they won't sit still

I know

we have no choice but to attack

take these. They might be of use

- great! - Be careful

if they explode too close, you'll be blown up

don't touch me!

Farewell

I am counting on you

You have a beautiful face

how much is your arse?

- You want to die that much? - Don't kill our allies recklessly

money!

Do you want more money?

We need your help

you guys help us a little, and more money and rewards will be yours

Azumi...

Look, it'll only take five days to reach tangou

when we cross the mountains

I see

- then yae can see you mom soon - Umm

Mother...

You don't know your mother?

I have lived with the master and friends since I were a child

- Put this on. - Girl's clothing

I prefer this

I can hide my swords in this

you are a girl

- I'm... - Girls don't talk like that!

Stay still! Don't move

There we go

You look beautiful

don't say that!

Azumi

the swords don't suit you

I don't want to see another person die

Let's go

Master!

Ok, spread out!

Nagara!

Nagara!

You can not run

I can smell like a dog

watch out!

You bastard..

It's incredible you made it this far

Why didn't you?

We need him to be the bait

bait?

There is still one assassin. The most important one..

Master!

Ukiha!

Run, run away

don't worry about me. Go, go!

Run!

What are you waiting for? Just go!

Just leave me, go!!

Azumi

Yael

smells nice

Be quiet

How fortunate we are on a mountain like this

which one should I pick?

Stop it!

- Stop... - Okay, okay, I stop it.

Let you do first, and it's my turn

it's my pleasure - please no..

No matter how much I try to escape...

I can't avoid it

I have no choice...

I am forced to kill

you bitch!

I'm sorry, yae...

I have no...

Choice but this

if it weren't for master, I would never have lived

This man will protect me

no matter when...

I will wait for you

I'm the one you can come home to

You won't lose of you didn't get hurt

Pity, I hope we were friends

Saru, I'll leave the rest to you

Assassins won't show up however long we wait

such heavy security just for a girl

general kanbei is too cautious

I'll be back

hey, wait a minute

you just took a break a while ago. It's my turn now

let's decide with this

- tails. - Then I'll bet heads

I heard of there is one more stronger.

I can't wait..

Master, are you alive?

Huh

You are so annoying

Saru, is it time?

Do you still think...

There is still somebody to rescue you?

I said master...

She's here

Azumi

don't come! Don't!

No, you must come

otherwise, he will die

damn you!

Wow! Incredible!

Saru! She is just incredible!

Hey! Samurai bastards! Who are you aiming at?

Damn it, who do you think we are?

Just because you're samurai, don't act so damn important

this is bullshit! This is our town!

Never mind about her, let's get them!

This is getting to be fun!

What's your problem?

I will blow you up into pieces

Let's ignite this!

Oh, it's hot...

I am delighted

no one is left to disturb us

How splendid!

I didn't even scratch you

This is my first time to defend

you are wonderful

Why not die?

Master

It's over

everything is over

ukiha and nagara are both dead

but I'm still here

there is no further mission

that you need to pursue

from now on...

Live as you wish

survive and keep on living

master, I don't know what to do without you

you never used to cry

It's so quiet

Master

master

no, don't

master!

Master...

Master!

- Kanbei. - Yes, master?

It's been a stimulating journey

saru is not back yet

- we can't let our guard down. - Ha!

I can't be scared of assassins!

When it's time to die, you die

don't worry

Lord, you won't die so easily

your luck is too strong

kanbei,

the time has come for war

that stupid old leyasu...

We will blow him up into pieces

Kanbei,

you have done well in protecting me

once we get home, I'll take you to a hot spring to rest

Masterful!

Lord!

Nagara

what are you doing?

Azumi

We are the only two left

what shall we do now?

Nagamasa asano,

kiyomasa kato...

The next target is masayuki sanada

this time, we'll probably be killed

we are not going to die

We will survive

Let's go
